under the spotlight

Chapter 223 Long Talk
It was a brand new experience for Lu Beicen to be a tour guide for two days and accompany her elders. In the past two days, the most common sentence she said was: there is a place that is more beautiful than the flowers here. Splendid *** This place is quieter and more beautiful than this place... Next time, next time I have time, I will take you to see it together.

Lu Beicen said it sincerely, and Lu Xusheng and his wife smiled when they heard it. They had never felt that their daughter was so close to them, especially when she was holding her father in one arm and her mother in the other.

It's a pity that the happy time is always very short, except for the elders of the Jiang family, the rest are busy people.The night before returning to Huxia, Lu Xusheng and his wife called Lu Beicen into the room alone. Facing their daughter, Lu Xusheng's expression was only gentle:
"It's a good thing to be calm, but for such a big event as falling in love, Xiaobei, when are you going to tell us?"

Lu Beicen's cheeks burned instantly, and he was a little bit ashamed: "Dad, I can't hold my breath, I just don't know what to say, you know it all, and you still want to laugh at me?"

Lu Xusheng's heart was almost softened by his daughter's long-drawn and coquettish "Dad". Evening the rhythm, I rolled my eyes in my heart, and I still have to continue this topic:

"Since the conversation has been made, you can talk about it now, and you can say what you think. As parents, we must always know what we know."

"Mom, I really don't know what to say, anyway, anyway, it became like this unconsciously..."

Although Lu Beicen's coquettish behavior is entirely based on instinct, but I have to say that it is more effective than analyzing his heart a hundred times. Jiang Yunjin also almost disarmed, but with a little gossip and going through the motions, continue Asked the following words.

"Just tell me, when did it start? It can't be before he goes back, can it?"

Lu Beicen shook his head: "That's not true. I was a little messed up at that time, and I felt that the relationship between me and him, our two families, was impossible. I thought, I always thought, that I was still a very rational person But, when he went and came again, I felt that my emotions were beyond the control of reason. I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, am I causing you trouble again?"

Lu Xusheng and his wife looked at each other. Although the daughter was vague, she expressed all her entanglements and depressions in this short statement. She is not the kind who will be carried away by emotions and ignore other things. A child who doesn't care, the pain of not being able to love, everyone knows that it's not a good feeling, but what she thinks the most is whether she has caused trouble to her parents.

The couple had discussed many what-ifs before, but at this time they could no longer say anything, and there was only a sigh left. Lu Xusheng had mixed feelings in his heart, and he only asked, "If he wants to go back, what are you going to do? "

Lu Beicen had thought about this question countless times, but after a short pause, he replied: "I have analyzed the current situation many times, at least in the short term, he probably won't go back, and in the long run, no one will return." Not sure, but I have you guys, and, "

Lu Beicen glanced at Jiang Yunjin, lowered his head slightly and said, "There is also Mama Yu, plus my major, it is unrealistic to settle abroad. He should be very clear about my situation, so he promised me that he would settle in China .Of course, everything will change. I have thought about it repeatedly, but I still feel that the decision in front of me should not be trapped by the troubles that may not happen in the future. Even if it is willful, I hope you can bear this time!"

Jiang Yunjin looked at the daughter with her head hanging in front of her, glared at Lu Xusheng with some dissatisfaction, got up and hugged Lu Beicen into her arms, gently stroked her hair and said, "You should take him to see her too." Your mother is dead, let's go see her together some other day, and try to bring her to Huxia, okay?"

Lu Xusheng understood very well what his wife's eye-killing meant. Their daughter, in the complex relationship caused by them, to be precise, was suffering repeatedly, and was more concerned about them. Father, you think more about other things, how can you be so embarrassing?

Sighing again, Lu Xusheng said to Jiang Yunjin: "Go and pour two glasses of water. After finishing talking about personal matters, I'll talk to Xiao Bei about work matters."

Lu Beicen looked at his father in amazement: "Dad, what's wrong with my work?"

"Don't be nervous, just chatting casually. I chatted with Leader Zhuo two days ago, and he kindly reminded me a few words," Lu Xusheng gently repeated Leader Zhuo's words, and continued: "I have been chatting with you for the past two days. I also inquired about it from the side, and you should know that the vision and thinking of a leader in the position of leader Zhuo are invisible to us."

"Dad, you can just say that I, an ordinary editor-in-chief, can't see it. In fact, our industry is indeed in a transitional period of great change. Whether we front-line reporters, directors or editors, it's not that we don't feel it at all. "Speaking of such a major industry event, Lu Beicen still wanted to hear the views of entrepreneurs like his father, so he simply started the topic.

"Fang Nan's group has already suspended two publications, and the circulation of their leading periodicals has also been declining. There is also an information newspaper in our province that has ceased publication, and there are two other newspapers that have been fighting for a long time. The dailies are consolidated."

"As for our TV station, among other things, the number of advertisements alone has decreased compared to before. Satellite TV is slightly better supported by variety shows, but if one day, we cannot invest in large-scale research and development of new programs, advertising It is also a difficult road ahead if you don't enter the venue with the sponsorship."

"Our city channel has a self-run column that has been suspended due to low ratings and no advertisements, but our channel is still good. Especially after this tourism conference, it may be able to turn around against the wind."

"But in our station, there is a terrestrial channel, which is already paying [-]% off the salary, and another terrestrial channel, which is cooperating with outside companies to engage in TV shopping. Even the children's channel is currently earning money by going to schools to hold activities. Money pays wages.”

Speaking of this, Lu Beicen paused and frowned: "Jiang, Zhongze said that with the advent of the era of smart mobile phones, the future situation may become more severe..."

Lu Xusheng frowned slightly when he heard that, Jiang Yunjin finished listening silently with two glasses of water, but said directly: "If the situation is already so severe, Xiaobei, you should listen to your mother and go to a Ph.D. Don't take the exam to other places, can't you just take the W major?"

Lu Beicen reached out to take the water glass in his mother's hand, and shook his head helplessly: "Mom, I don't want to study for a Ph.D. The only way left is to go to school and teach, but if the industry I teach has been turned upside down, what's the point of being a teacher?"

Lu Xusheng obviously agreed with Lu Beicen's point of view: "It seems that Xiaobei should be very sensitive to the overall environment. Since you want to gain a foothold in the industry, you young people must have your own ideas, especially this one. Ciqianyang is a large-scale event, I heard that you have undertaken a lot of important work, and you said that your channel may be reversed because of this project, come and talk to Dad about the situation here."

"I think the leaders of our channel have a very new idea, which is equivalent to taking advantage of our own platform. First, we took over the hosting of this event at a price that is almost flat, and then through our own way of attracting investment, first in the I earned a sum of exhibition fees at the exhibition, and then earned a wave of advertising fees from the promotion of tourism resources from across the country and the world, and then received a package of official promotional videos, and while making these promotional videos, I received many more. A promotional video from the brand side of the promotional content..."

"The key is to experience the team of the entire channel at the same time. Now our channel basically pulls out all kinds of teams, and they can all produce high-quality creative cultural products. In the past, such activities, especially this large-scale live broadcast, we Zhongjiang basically We can only pick them up from the news center of Satellite TV. The key is that they have a high threshold and it is difficult to land. Most of them will be coordinated by the station and landed on our channel. That is, they eat meat, and even half a bowl of soup is given to us. Now It's different..."

When Lu Beicen said this, Lu Xusheng basically understood what Leader Zhuo meant. The more achievements the city channel made, the more unstable Mr. Yang's position would be. After all, that position was not high-level, and he had achievements. Being coveted is a perfectly normal thing.

But these words, at this time, Lu Xusheng did not intend to tell his daughter. After pondering for a long time, Lu Xusheng asked: "In any industry, when the cards are shuffled, there are crises and opportunities. Don't have any other ideas?"

Lu Beicen glanced at his father, who seemed a bit unpredictable at this time, and said with some doubts: "At this stage, I don't have any ideas. Several of us have also talked about this matter. No matter how our industry changes, anyway, the media The core still needs content production, we will first practice our internal skills, and at the same time, we will pay close attention to changes in the industry.”

Lu Xusheng suddenly smiled very relieved, looked at his wife and said, "Okay, let's worry too much, children like Xiaobei have grown up, have their own ideas and opinions, and are very concerned about their careers." There is a plan, as expected, the vision pattern is not bad..."

Seeing her husband's appearance, Jiang Yunjin knew that he must have nothing to say, but she couldn't get to the bottom of it in front of her daughter, so she simply changed the subject and said, "You have been so busy this year, how is your income?"

"Mom, you see that you have three sentences that are inseparable from your own business. Don't worry, my contribution this year should be directly proportional to my income. The leaders are very open-minded. All the promotional videos signed by me as the leader will be given to me." The commission is the same as that of the advertising department, and there is also a special project production fee, and I have completed the task throughout the year, and I have been given a category A year-end bonus..."
