Chapter 8: Xu Qing's Thoughts
Xu Qing's silence was due to contemplating how to arrange the next steps for the four artists if they were unable to participate in the creation of this program
While Xu Qing was lost in thought, the staff's work report also reached Xu Qing's ears
The fingers began to tap the table unconsciously
Ah!
The atmosphere in Lisa's office is somewhat eerie
Lisa turned her gaze towards the door in response to the knocking sound, adjusted her gloomy expression, and then said, "Come in"
When Lisa was heading to the interview room, Xu Qing had already left Tengyu with her four artists and the operations girl
Xu Qing looked at Lisa with some confusion, and then sat down heavily on the sofa
Could it be that this intense back-and-forth has actually led to feelings developing between them
If you have this idea, then I think our program will be a bit difficult to manage. Xu Qing also did not want to put on airs, but at this moment, it was necessary to do so; otherwise, how could others be receptive to his words
Before Xu Qing could walk out, Lisa called out: "We haven't finished our conversation yet, you sit down."
Ten minutes later, Lisa suddenly stood up and then walked towards the interview room
A straightforward flattery was directed at Lisa, yet her expression remained unchanged
Xu Qing paused here, noticing that Lisa remained silent, he continued: "At a level where most trainees are merely passing, how can our program achieve effective results and popularity in the early stages when the audience has not yet engaged with the content? We cannot rely solely on the fans of a few top trainees, can we?"
A man and a woman silently gazed at each other until the sound of a knock on the door broke the silence
Evidently, Lisa initially looked down on Xu Qing, but after Xu Qing finished speaking, her expression clearly changed.
It is certainly essential to involve high-level trainees in the program; those who do not meet the standard should be excluded. As the level improves, the program will naturally become more精彩.
Regrettably, the starting conditions are truly poor. After these four individuals joined Xingtang Culture, their main focus has been on live streaming. Now, the live streaming room that had accumulated a certain level of popularity has been taken down by the other side, which means everyone has returned to the stage of being amateurs.
What needs to be said has already been said; insisting on getting a response from Lisa here is likely to make things worse. Sometimes, it is better to leave things unsaid.
The discussion was entirely focused on the recorded schedule, the recording studio, and the preparations for the trainees' dormitory, while no other information was disclosed
Therefore, I believe that in addition to the contestants' abilities, we must also consider other factors. When you have the time, you should go to the audition site to observe, or find some recordings to watch. To speak frankly, the judges under your supervision may still be thinking in terms of the talent shows from 10 years ago.
In the rented business vehicle, Xu Qing sat in the front passenger seat, with Yang Tutu and Qi Xi in the middle, while Hu Xin and Ye Sitang occupied the back seat, and the young lady from the operations team took on the role of the driver
After Xu Qing said this, he temporarily closed his mouth, not because he could not continue speaking, but rather to leave a pause for Lisa to digest his words
Xu Qing did not want to trouble anyone, nor did he wish to delay their work, so he stood up and said to Lisa: "Senior, you carry on with your work, I will step out."
"Senior, just because your professional skills are lacking doesn't mean you won't shine on the show." At this moment, Xu Qing felt a stir in his heart; since the topic had returned to the artists, there was still room for further discussion.
After much consideration, there is no quick way to monetize.
After the staff went out and closed the door, Xu Qing felt that she had found a reason to continue the conversation.
This lady is deliberately showcasing her work capabilities in front of herself, in order to prove that she is capable of being the chief director. From this perspective, it is likely that Lisa personally invited herself to bring people for the interview with a sense of boasting as well
Lottery requires a lottery ticket, and the lottery ticket can only be obtained through the participation of artists in work. The key issue is that the definition of this participation in work is quite vague. Does participating in a live broadcast count as work
The staff member began to report as soon as the chief director spoke up
One can purchase six works of Earth.
He said to Lisa: "It has been several years since we last met, and your ability to handle matters has improved significantly, Senior."
He believes that Lisa will definitely realize the issues he mentioned. The formation of the group 101 is a first in the domestic context of Blue Star. Apart from similar programs in the Korean region, there are no precedents in the domestic sphere that can be referenced.
Imagine, if most of the trainees are mediocre and lack standout qualities, with only a small portion of the performances being of high caliber, how would you edit the footage to keep the audience engaged and watching continuously
The system backpack still contains directional traffic recommendation cards at the level of 100,000, which are particularly valuable at this moment when there are no resources available
At this time, Lisa is the kind of person who needs to prove herself in the company and is not overly rigid in disregarding others' opinions
Upon reaching this point, Xu Qing subtly formed a correct conjecture regarding Lisa's intention to stay behind.
Having finished speaking, Xu Qing did not wait for Lisa's response and stood up to push the door open and leave
He can't possibly still like the original Xu Qing, can he
After the staff finished their report, Lisa began to showcase her decisive and efficient side, swiftly arranging the next steps for the staff with remarkable ease
He then turned to the staff member who had just entered and said, "What is it? Speak."
The diverse program content is not just a dry competition
It was only upon hearing this that Xu Qing realized there was indeed nothing inappropriate about listening to these things
However, Lisa did not continue to stare at Xu Qing in silence as she had just done; instead, she spoke calmly, saying, "The skill level of the artists under you is inadequate, and I cannot allow them to appear on the program."
How can one stand out with inadequate business skills, Xu Qing, when will you be able to change your stubbornness?
Throughout the journey, everyone was somewhat silent; their silence stemmed from the setbacks they experienced today
Engaging in mutual confrontation has led to the development of feelings
These observations are not mere fabrications of Xu Qing's imagination, but rather judgments made based on an understanding of both Earth and the Blue Star. His sensitivity to the market remains quite high
Thinking of this, Xu Qing rubbed his head and reopened the system
The more she thought, the deeper her frown became
It cannot be that way
In addition, there are 60 points
Senior sister, I am not being stubborn. Tell me, how can this program be exciting and attract views?
Therefore, the program must feature a variety of topics from the very first episode, with high-level trainees being one topic and distinctive trainees being another important topic
When an amateur's agent is not frightening, what is truly frightening is a company that lacks resources and funds to support them
After speaking, he glanced at Xu Qing, and his intentions were quite evident.
Seeing Lisa in this state, Xu Qing continued, "Senior, in the past when I was younger, I viewed things too simply. Now I have learned a little, which is to think from different perspectives. You are the director, not a professional teacher from an educational institution. You are producing a program aimed at the general public, not conducting admissions.
Senior, high-level individuals are indeed a minority; the majority of trainees only manage to pass, which is the reality. Unlike in Korea, where there is a systematic trainee training mechanism, we do not have such a system. Therefore, it is simply impossible to expect all trainees to be of high caliber.
However, it is indeed somewhat unnecessary to purchase the works now, as none of these four individuals can effectively interpret those excellent pieces, making the purchase a waste.
That is not correct; they have been at odds for many years, and Xu Qing has never backed down to Lisa Rong, which is why Lisa Rong has always harbored this obsession in her heart
As the times progress and society advances, the aesthetic preferences of the audience also change. The contestants of Creation 101 are trainees, and since they are trainees, the focus should be on their development during the training process. This development involves discovering the unique qualities of the contestants, allowing the audience to witness a diverse range of program content rather than a dull competition, as such talent shows would not attract viewers.
Only when Xu Qing's door closed did Lisa stop tapping on the table. Her eyes were fixed on the closed door, and Xu Qing's words echoed continuously in her mind.
After sitting down, Xu Qing's mind began to race, and he thought to himself, what is going on with this woman
After this speculation, Xu Qing's expression became strange. Goodness, does Lisa place such importance on whether or not she recognizes her
The door was pushed open, and a staff member walked in. Upon seeing Xu Qing sitting inside, he paused for a moment before speaking: "Director, there are some matters I need to report to you."
