Upstairs at the Beijing Television Station.
Today was National Day, so there were not many people at work. However, no matter how few people came, it was definitely several times more than the number of people working overtime in other industries. As this was a television station, it was similar to a shopping mall or supermarket. It got busier at times like this. Not far from Zhang Ye, there were a few people working overtime looking at him.
"What was that sound just now?"
"I heard it too. Crunch, crunch."
"That youth is here for an interview? What was he doing just now? "
"That's right. Why was there such a big commotion? Is he molting? "
A few people were pointing and discussing Zhang Ye. They had a nagging feeling that this person was a little strange.
Actually, from a certain point of view, Zhang Ye had "molted" at this moment. His height was 1.71 meters. Wearing the pair of height increasing shoes that he had just bought, Zhang Ye did not have a ruler to measure his height, but he could barely tell from the length of his trousers. With the height increasing shoes, he should be about 1.78 meters tall. He was still 2 centimeters short of Wang Shuixin's minimum height requirement. He did not meet it.
Zhang Ye wanted to find a few balls of paper to pad his shoes for the interview, but he knew it would not work. This was because padding would make him taller, but it would not look natural. This was already a pair of height increasing shoes. The heels were very high, so if he padded more paper, his feet would probably come out of the shoes. This would not look good on camera. Even if he went up, he would not be able to walk. The moment he walked, the shoes would fall off. There was a type of high heel boots that could make him taller, but it was autumn. The weather was not cold yet. It could even be very hot at times. To wear boots on camera? That was not realistic. The interviewer would not agree to it either!
… …
On the other side.
In the office.
Wang Shuixin looked at his watch, "Old Hu, don't be anxious. It's not that I don't believe in your judgment and professionalism. The station poached you because of your experience and ability in this area, but a host relies on a comprehensive standard. It is not just a literary background. Even Zhang Ye is not qualified to be a guest. You should know better than me the importance of a host and a guest to a program. If the audience is uncomfortable, then no matter how good the program is, it will be discounted. It will also cause a large number of viewers to be lost. I cannot gamble on this."
"If we exclude Zhang Ye because of his height, that would be such a pity!" Hu Fei frowned, "This is not fair to Little Zhang!"
Wang Shuixin said calmly, "There is no such thing as fairness in the entertainment industry. Little Zhang's height is indeed insufficient. I can't give the green light just because of him."
Hu Fei said, "It's not like there weren't hosts who were 1.6 meters tall in the past."
"But have they ever been popular?" Wang Shuixin asked in reply, "How many supporters of this height can do it? Also, you are talking about small TV stations in second-tier and third-tier cities. Where are we? It's Beijing Television Station! " He stood up. "Alright, Old Hu, you don't have to say anymore. Look at the time now, we still have a meeting to attend!"
"Director!" Hu Fei was still talking.
Wang Shuixin interrupted, "I can lower the last requirement. He doesn't need to be 1.8 meters tall. As long as he can wear height shoes and reach 1.78 meters, he can be hired immediately! I won't say another word! "
"Brother Hu, forget it."
"That's right, Producer Hu. There are so many good seedlings."
The other interviewers also tried to persuade Hu Fei.
However, Hu Fei thought to himself, 'What's the difference between 1.8 meters and 1.78 meters? Zhang Ye was only 1.65 meters tall. No matter what shoes he wore, he wouldn't be able to reach that height! Unless he stepped on stilts and went on stage!
…
Outside.
As their final conversation had been rather close to the door, Zhang Ye had heard their last sentence. 1.78 meters would do? Ha! I was waiting for you to say that! It looked like Teacher Hu did not waste those 20 minutes he had fought for Zhang Ye! He had really helped out a lot!
The door opened and Wang Shuixin was the first to walk out. He looked at Zhang Ye, who was in the resting area. "Little Zhang, you should go back." This meant that the interview was over.
Hu Fei glanced at Zhang Ye and shook his head apologetically.
Zhang Ye gave Teacher Hu a "it's alright" look. He sat there and said to Wang Shuixin, "Director Wang, I think I have already met the requirements you mentioned."
"What have you met? Height? "A young interviewer was amused," Don't say anymore. Go back. "
Zhang Ye did not say anything else. He slowly stood up from his seat.
A few interviewers had wanted to turn around and leave. They had been delayed for too long. There were still many programs waiting for them during the National Day. However, when they saw Zhang Ye stand up, one of them, who was about to turn around and leave, was instantly stunned. He turned around and stared dumbfoundedly!
The others also stared with their eyes popping out!
Holy sh * t! Your height … Why does it seem like …
Zhang Ye walked closer to let them see clearly, "Does this height meet the requirements?"
Wang Shuixin was also dumbfounded. He smacked his head and rubbed his eyes, as if he was seeing things. Then he looked at Zhang Ye, "You …"
Tall!
This person was actually taller!
During the interview, Wang Shuixin and the other interviewers clearly remembered that Zhang Ye was shorter than many of them by half a head. Although they were not tall, they were at least 1.7 meters tall. But now, in a blink of an eye, this person was not shorter than them. In fact … he was taller than them by half a head!
Shorter by half a head to taller by half a head?
Are you f * * king performing magic?
They couldn't believe their own eyes!
Hu Fei hurriedly said after recovering from his shock, "Little Sun, go get a ruler!"
A youth looked at Wang Shuixin. Seeing Director Wang nod, he quickly went. Not long later, he came back with a shrinking ruler.
"Teacher Little Zhang, stand properly." Hu Fei gestured.
Zhang Ye's back was pressed against the wall, standing very straight.
Hu Fei personally measured him. When he was done, he held the ruler's scale and turned around in surprise to everyone, "1.78 meters! A full 1.78 meters! "
Some people did not believe him and also measured Zhang Ye, but the result was the same!
The female interviewer nearly fainted to the ground!
Wang Shuixin also did not expect this to happen!
A young interviewer said in horror, "You, how did you do it?"
Zhang Ye pointed to his feet, "I changed my shoes. I just bought them!"
Wang Shuixin, "…"
"How is this possible!? How can there be such a high pair of shoes!? "The youth said in shock.
"You can increase your height by more than 10 centimeters? And you can't even see any traces? It doesn't look unnatural at all? What kind of shoes are these? "Another interviewer nearly cursed out loud!
F * * k your lungs!
How is this changing shoes?
You are f * * king changing people!
Hu Fei did not care about this. He only believed that such magical shoes existed. After all, technology was already so advanced. He stared at Director Wang and said, "Little Zhang is already 1.78 meters tall when wearing shoes. What did you say just now?"
The others also looked at the Director.
Wang Shuixin was being held back. He was being held back by his own words. It could be seen that he wished he could slap his own mouth. Why did he have nothing better to do when he mentioned the height requirement!? This fellow really did it? He had originally wanted to find a reason to reject him, as he did not want such a prickly person. However, the result was too unexpected! What should he do now? Words said were water that could not be spilled. Furthermore, he had said it in front of so many people, and he was the Leader …
After a long silence, Wang Shuixin looked at Zhang Ye, "Come back to work next week." Saying that, he turned around and left with his people.
He had entered the television station!
He could finally enter the television station!
Zhang Ye suddenly felt that all his hard work was worth it!
