On the other end.
In the office of The Voice's program team.
Executive Producer Fu Sihong was not around. Everyone had already returned to the office from the stage. Without a pillar of support, some were anxious, some were angry, and some were depressed. They were all discussing the news that they had received from the station and were waiting for Zhang Ye to return from his meeting with the leaders.
"Is the news true?"
"I'm afraid so!"
"Yeah, it's already on the news. Old Zhao's photo has been exposed."
"What do we do now? What do we do now!"
"It's impossible for it to be broadcast next week!"
"Yeah, not to mention next week, it's even impossible for it to be broadcast next week!"
"Hey, Director Zhang is back, he's back!"
With someone reporting, the crowd did not even wait for Zhang Ye to enter the door before they surrounded him. They blocked Zhang Ye at the door and prevented him from entering.
Ha Qiqi asked anxiously, "Director Zhang, what did the leaders say?"
Zhang Zuo said nervously, "They wouldn't really force us to do something beyond our abilities, would they?"
"Director Zhang, please have a good talk with the leaders," Little Wang said anxiously.
Zhang Ye looked at everyone. "Let me in first and close the door. We'll talk among ourselves."
Outside, there were already quite a few Central TV Department 1 program teams passing by and looking at each other. Clearly, they had also heard that The Voice was going to be broadcast ahead of schedule.
Inside.
The door was closed.
Zhang Ye caught his breath and then said to everyone, "I just came back from Director Jiang's meeting. The station wants us to be broadcast ahead of schedule next Thursday. This is something that has already been decided and can't be changed anymore. There's a reason for this, so we're the only ones who can save the day. This time, we have to do it, even if we don't want to!"
Ha Qiqi said, "But …"
Zhang Ye interrupted, "The station has also compensated us by giving us an additional 75 seconds of advertising time, as well as the allocation of manpower. The station will also provide us with the manpower that we are lacking. Everything has been green-lit and given us a pass to provide us with convenience and protection. I know that everyone is feeling emotional, and so am I. I also wish that I would be given another month, or even two months, to polish this program that we have been preparing for half a month to the point of perfection, but we don't have another month or two. Time doesn't allow for it now, and the objective situation is right before our eyes. Even if we have emotions, it won't help us!"
Yeah, hai, the situation has already come to this, so what else could they do? How could they possibly just walk away and not do it? Of course not!
Zhang Ye said, "Just now, I have already expressed my stance to the leader. We must complete this mission. Not only must we complete it, we must complete it beautifully! Don't the others also think that we can't complete it? Then this time, let's show others! Let's see the fighting prowess of our program team! "
Zhang Zuo asked, "But how?"
Wu Yi said, "There's definitely not enough time."
Zhang Ye spat out two words, "… Overtime!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Only to hear Zhang Ye say, "I'll take the lead. From today until next Thursday, I'll be staying at the office. No matter what happens here, I'll be the first to rush to the scene. I'll be the first to give instructions and help everyone with their work. You can look for me anytime!"
Huh?
You want to stay here? Six days?
Everyone was stunned.
When Ha Qiqi saw this, she also clenched her teeth and expressed her stance. The executive director had already gone this far, so what reason did she have to hesitate? She said, "Since Director Zhang has said so, then there's no reason for me not to work hard. I don't know if the program can be completed in time for production, but at least I can do my best. I don't have much to do at home these few days, so I can go home late every day. I'll come to the office in the morning and knock off at 11 PM. Other than sleeping, I'll try my best to be at the office! Everyone, let's give it a try! "
Seeing this, Zhang Zuo also said, "I'm fine with it too. I can still work until 12 PM every day."
Little Wang said, "I … I can work until 9 PM."
Wu Yi said, "I'm fine until 10 PM!"
A female editor said, "I can't work at night, but I can come early in the morning. I'll be at the office at 5 AM every day. Anyway, it's only six days, so let's go all out!"
"Count me in!"
"Me too!"
"Me too, isn't it just overtime!"
"We've spent so much effort on this program, so we can't let it go to waste!"
"Right, it's not like we've never worked overtime before. Let's go all out!"
With someone taking the lead, the others also followed suit!
He said, "Thank you, everyone. I can assure you that our hard work and hard work will definitely not go to waste. On the day the program is broadcast, the market and the people will give us their approval. The obstacles we're facing now are the last hurdle before success. It's the last hurdle before we can enjoy the fruits of victory. As long as we can get past it, victory will be ours! At that time, the gains, growth, and joy we'll receive will definitely be several times, or even more than a dozen times, better than before! But right now, we have to complete this mission that others think is impossible! Don't tell yourself that it's impossible before you've even given it your all! "
"Right!"
"Director Zhang is right! We can definitely do it! "
"That's right! Who said that we can't do it? "
"We have Director Zhang holding the fort! We can definitely create a miracle! "
"That's right!"
Everyone responded loudly, their morale boosted by Zhang Ye's words!
Zhang Ye did not stop and said, "I'll start assigning tasks now. Sister Qi, the intro clips for the contestants will be recorded starting today, especially for the key contestants. We'll communicate about this at any time. I'll also follow up on your progress and help out. The deadline is the day after tomorrow, so we have to go through all of the contestants. If we really don't have enough manpower, let me know who and how many people you need. I'll ask the station to borrow some people!"
Ha Qiqi immediately said, "Understood!"
Zhang Ye said, "Brother Zhang."
Zhang Zuo said, "Go ahead."
Zhang Ye looked at him and said, "There's no time to dilly-dally on the stage. We'll have to rush through the night and pay the workers more. We must get it done by Monday! The debugging of the equipment must be done by Tuesday! "
Zhang Zuo took a deep breath. "The stage can be taken care of. If we rush through the work, it can be done. But the equipment is the best in the industry. Many of our staff are using it for the first time and are still learning how to use it. There are even two pieces of equipment that have not been fully debugged yet and are still being adjusted. I can't guarantee the timing. If it's fast, it might take three or four days. If it's slow, it might not even be done in a week. This …"
Zhang Ye said, "We must get it done by Thursday at the latest!"
When Ha Qiqi heard this, she said in surprise, "Then when are we going to record the show? It's going to be broadcast on Thursday night! "
No one had expected that Zhang Ye would push the deadline to Thursday at the latest. Then how were they going to record the show?
In fact, Zhang Ye had already thought about it. This was also a bold decision that he had made. In order to extend the time as much as possible and to give them more time for their preparations, he said something surprising, "For the show … we'll record it on Thursday! We'll finish recording before 6 PM. Then we'll edit it, do the post-production, add the subtitles, and submit it for approval. It'll be done within three hours and we'll broadcast it at 9 PM! We can definitely make it in time! "
Everyone was in an uproar!
Record it on the same day?
Broadcast it right after recording?
Wasn't this too rushed? This wasn't much different from a live broadcast. What if something went wrong during the recording? What if something went wrong during the post-production of the editing? As long as one of the segments went wrong, they wouldn't be able to make it to the broadcast that night! This was putting their lives on the line!
Zhang Ye's guts were clearly displayed at this moment!
Everyone was left speechless, but they had no choice but to admit that if they wanted to make it to the broadcast in time, this was the only way they could do it!
