Almost everyone in Department 14 was playing games at the moment!
At this moment, someone saw Zhang Ye.
"Ah! Quick, look! "
"Director Zhang!"
"It's Teacher Zhang!"
"I've finally seen him in person!"
"Wow! Director Zhang is here! "
"I want to take a picture of Zhang Xiang and post it on Weibo! Those in front, get out of the way! "
When the people of Department 14 saw Zhang Ye standing at the entrance, they were all extremely excited.
They were not like the staff of Central TV Department 1. The staff of Department 1, even if they were of the lowest rank, or even if they were just doing odd jobs, would often come into contact with famous hosts or celebrity guests. Whether it was organizing a gala, producing a program, or conducting an interview, which big shot had they not met before? They might even have spoken to each other before, so they were relatively calm.
But Department 14 was a new department and had only been established for a few years. Almost everyone in the department was considered a newcomer, and their department was too unpopular. They were ranked last in the viewership ratings of all of Central TV, with even the overseas and agricultural channels having higher overall viewership ratings than them by several times. Their status was extremely low, and at most, they had gotten to know a few mid-sized sports stars during their soccer and basketball championship documentaries. So even though they were working in the same television tower, they had not seen many big shots before, much less a big shot like Zhang Ye who had turned Central TV Department 1 upside down. Coupled with everyone cheering him on, all of a sudden, a lot of people rushed forward with enthusiasm written all over their faces!
A female staff member said, "Director Zhang, I really like you!"
Zhang Ye said, "Thank you."
Tong Fu hurriedly said, "I heard that you smashed a marble table with your palm last Friday. Is that true?"
Zhang Ye: "…"
Huang Dandan said, "Bullshit, it was clearly an aluminum table!"
Zhang Ye: "…"
Fuck, why did it become aluminum again?
And even smashed it?
Do you think I'm fucking Iron Man!
Beside them, Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile and said, "It was a two-centimeter-thick glass table. The rumors are way too exaggerated."
Huang Dandan exclaimed, "That's still awesome! Eh, Director Zhang, do you play games? "
A middle-aged woman laughed and said, "I've always disliked Central TV Department 1. Not only did they steal our people, but they also took away our production budget. Hmph, that slap was well deserved!"
Huang Dandan nodded and said, "Yeah, it was so satisfying to film that. Central TV Department 1 has been using their influence to ostracize us for the past two years. Eh, Director Zhang, do you play games?"
Zhang Ye said nervously, "I'm not playing for now."
Tong Fu said, "Director Yan isn't here yet. Please take a seat. I don't know which office has been arranged for you."
"Hehe, I can just sit outside." Zhang Ye was not picky. As a newcomer, he had to keep a low profile. This was because he was not here to dawdle, but with a goal in mind.
When Zhang Ye sat down, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others also found a place to sit down.
When the people of Department 14 saw this, they did not bother Zhang Ye any further. Instead, they turned their attention back to Zhang Ye's team and started chatting.
About ten minutes later, Wu Yi, Little Wang, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others couldn't resist the invitations and joined the gaming army. Actually, in the past month when they were at Central TV Department 1, the original team members of The Voice had almost all worked with video games and movies. If it was like this at Central TV Department 1, then it was no different at Central TV Department 14. Everyone had been "instigated" to join the group.
"Director Ha, add points to stamina. Yes, your profession's health is very important!"
"Ah, I was killed!"
"Where is it? We will avenge you! "
"Damn, they dared to kill our people? Who gave them the guts to do so! "
"Who wants to clear the dungeon? We're still missing one person! "
"Is there anyone who wants to play Plants vs. Zombies? How are we going to clear this? "
Seeing how focused everyone was, Zhang Ye felt a little hopeless and speechless. The Documentary Channel really could not do well. With these people, it would be a wonder if they could succeed.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard coming from outside!
Central TV Department 14's Director Yan Tianfei had arrived. He did not go to his own office, but went straight to the first office area.
Then, a scene that left Zhang Ye dumbfounded appeared!
The faces of the people of Department 14, who were shouting earlier, instantly changed. It was as if a computer screen had flashed by. Before Zhang Ye could see clearly what had happened, the game interface on the screen disappeared. Plants vs. Zombies turned into Word and the online game turned into a slideshow. There was not a single trace of unnaturalness on everyone's faces. Everyone looked calm and composed, as if they had been through many battles!
Tong Fu picked up a document and stood up. "Director Yan, I've finished yesterday's work and made some changes to it. Do you think this can be used?"
Yan Tianfei nodded. "Let's talk about it later."
Huang Dandan also immediately said, "Director Yan, the report is done. I've sent a copy to your email and printed a copy on your desk!"
Yan Tianfei acknowledged, "OK."
"Director Yan, we've settled the copyright contract. I'm currently sorting it out and will send it to you later."
"Director Yan …"
Yan Tianfei was quite satisfied and said, "Not bad, not bad. You've all worked hard!"
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were dumbfounded!
Zhang Ye was also stunned by what he saw! Fuck, aren't you guys changing too quickly! Only now did Zhang Ye realize that he had underestimated this group of people!
Talents!
They're all fucking talents!
Hearing everyone's work reports, Yan Tianfei only responded casually. But his gaze had been fixed on Zhang Ye's team ever since he stepped into the office. He had a look of appreciation on his face.
Zhang Ye walked over. "Director Yan, I'm here to report to you."
Yan Tianfei shook his hand. "I've been waiting for so long. Finally, your Teacher Little Zhang is here."
"Don't mention it, you're too polite," Zhang Ye said with a smile.
Yan Tianfei immediately said to everyone, "From today onwards, Teacher Little Zhang and his team will be joining our Department 14. Everyone, let's welcome them!"
Bba bba bba. Thunderous applause rang out!
"Welcome, Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "When we first arrived, we already welcomed them. Everyone was so enthusiastic that it made us feel a little embarrassed."
Yan Tianfei laughed heartily. "You're the number one team in the industry in the variety field, so how can you not be enthusiastic?" But then, Yan Tianfei looked at Zhang Ye and the others. His laughter died down again. "But it must've been hard on you all to come to our Department 14, hai."
Zhang Ye waved it off. "That's not true. We're not here to do nothing. We're all aiming to achieve something, so if there's any work that needs to be done, please feel free to assign it to us."
But Yan Tianfei said, "There's no rush for work. We don't usually have a lot of work to do here anyway. After buying the rights to a few documentaries and handing them over to the screening team, there's nothing else to do. Come, let me bring you to your office first. I'll introduce you to the department while I'm at it." Leading Zhang Ye out of the office, he said, "We don't have to reorganize the staff here. I'm the director. The previous Old Liu retired, so there's no need to appoint a deputy director. As you can see, there are two teams in the office. One is for documentary filming, while the other is for copyright negotiations. It's different from your variety shows. For the documentary channel, we don't have any program teams for now. Most of the documentaries we've bought the rights to, so there's no need for us to set up a separate program team."
The corridor in front of them narrowed, and there were offices on both sides.
Yan Tianfei led him into one of the offices. It was quite spacious inside and was well-equipped. It was at least twice the size of Zhang Ye's office at Central TV Department 1. His office at Department 1 was connected to the office area, which meant that it had been remodeled from the office area. As such, the environment was naturally not as good as the stand-alone office here.
"Will it be alright for you to work here in the future?" Yan Tianfei asked.
Zhang Ye naturally had no objections. "Of course, I'll listen to your arrangements."
Yan Tianfei chuckled and said, "In the future, you'll still be the executive director of Department 14. It just so happens that our directors are still lacking in experience and haven't done many documentaries before. You've been doing your own planning since Lecture Room, then Zhang Ye's Talk Show, and The Voice. Your experience in this area is not something those newcomers can compare to. Although variety shows and documentaries are two different things, there should still be some similarities between them. You can also teach and guide them from time to time. As for the team members that you've brought with you, well, they'll still be under your charge in the future. You can just report to me for any work matters."
Zhang Ye immediately asked, "Then what about our work?"
Yan Tianfei looked at him and said straightforwardly, "Actually, as you can see, we don't lack people here, nor do we have a lot of work to do. The reason why I asked Central TV Department 1 for people to join us was because I couldn't take this lying down. Why should the newcomers that we had just recruited be taken away by them? Teacher Little Zhang, I know that you're not having a good time at Department 1 and that your relationship with them is very strained. But don't worry, hur hur. Now that you're here at Department 14, no one will come looking for trouble with you for no reason. Just stay put and do your job well. "
Looking for trouble with me?
I'm not really afraid of anyone coming looking for trouble with me. This bro is only afraid of not having anything to do!
However, Zhang Ye had to accept this favor from Yan Tianfei. He was also very grateful to Yan Tianfei for asking him to join Department 14. This gave him a chance to make a comeback and deal a fatal blow to Central TV Department 1!
They chatted for another ten minutes.
The two of them had a basic understanding of each other.
Zhang Ye blinked a few times before finally saying, "Director, since we don't usually have much work to do, and our team doesn't know how to do much other than making a program or a program, do you think that our channel is interested in making a documentary? Do you want us to do it? "
Yan Tianfei did not even think about it. "Of course we can. You guys can do whatever you want!"
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "Then I'll be the executive director?"
Yan Tianfei smiled and said, "Sure."
Zhang Ye said, "Then the type of program …"
"Will it be a documentary?"
"Definitely."
"Then let's do whatever we want. We're a documentary channel to begin with!"
"Then the equipment and production budget …"
"Report the proposal to me when you're done. I'll allocate the money for you."
Damn!
It's going to go so smoothly?
Zhang Ye coughed and gave himself a heads-up. He smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll go through the proposal in a while. But the equipment and budget might not be a small amount. I'm afraid …"
Yan Tianfei laughed and said generously, "Our department's budget is usually only used to buy some copyrights. The rest of it isn't of much use anyway. If you want to try making a documentary, just do it. It doesn't matter if the viewership ratings are good or not. Our department can still afford it. How much can a documentary make? When the time comes, I'll allocate you a million yuan. You can do it however you want! "
A million yuan?
Do it however I want??
Zhang Ye was in tears. I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly!
If it's according to this bro's expectations for a documentary, it would only have a million yuan budget? Not to mention the entire documentary, that amount of money wouldn't even be enough to film half an episode!
