This was because Feng Yu had approached Deputy Chief Jia first. So, Deputy Chief Jia was the person in charge of this award ceremony. He heard that there would be a review of the program's procedures, and he came over to take a look. If there were any problems, he would settle it on the spot. This was China's second biggest gala ceremony. If it was successful, Feng Yu had promised to hold this gala ceremony every year. Feng Yu would be the one paying for it!
Eh? What was going on over there? Xu Yipeng seemed to be arguing with Feng Yu.
"Xiao Liu, what's going on over there?" Deputy Chief Jia asked the Chief Producer.
"Chief Jia, it seems that General Manager Feng Feng is discussing with Director Xu about the program's procedures."
Deputy Chief Jia stared at the Chief Producer. The Chief Producer's face was red. You are telling me that they are discussing? This was clearly an argument!
Deputy Chief Jia walked over. The Chief Producer wanted to remind Xu Yipeng, but Deputy Chief Jia waved him off. He wanted to hear what they were arguing about.
Feng Yu might be young, but he was a creative young man. This could be seen from the CCTV commercials. He had heard that Feng Yu was the one who came up with the idea for the Songjiang Motorcycles commercials. He was also impressed by Feng Yu's talents.
But a gala ceremony and commercials were different. There were only a few people in the commercials, and how long was the duration? How many people were needed for the gala ceremony? Xu Yipeng looked like he had not won against Feng Yu.
"Director Xu, there should be about 500 to 600 seats in this hall, right? How did you arrange for the audience? I heard that you had given so many tickets to CCTV's staff and their families. "
"What's wrong with that? This is an annual gala ceremony. Why can't our staff attend the gala ceremony? You also said that there are about 500 to 600 seats, and we will give 100 tickets to the audience. Is there a problem? "
"Of course! If it is only CCTV's staff getting tickets, then it's fine. But should the Planning Committee give more tickets? Should the Ministry of Industry give more tickets? Some other ministries were also invited. Should we give more tickets to them? Our association is the organizer. Should we give more tickets to those ordinary committee members? "
"I'll give them all. What's wrong? How much can I give? A hundred should be enough, right? The audience is still not satisfied with the seats. As for the remaining seats, we plan to give them to our brothers, "Xu Yipeng said matter-of-factly. This was also how the Spring Festival Gala increased the number of tickets.
"Not enough seats? I think there are not enough seats! As for the winning units, do they need additional votes? Those shortlisted units, do they need additional votes? How many times have I told you that this is an awards ceremony? An awards ceremony, not the Spring Festival Gala! What we want is not a lively reunion, but to honor those who have made great contributions to the country! Let them arrange the tickets first. If there are any leftovers, then we can give more tickets to other units. "
What? Those award-winning units, they also want tickets? The units in Beijing might be fine, but there are also units in Guangdong on your list. Will any of them come to watch the gala?
"How many votes do you think they need?" Xu Yipeng was a little disdainful. Feng Yu was just being unreasonable. How many votes could those people get? At most, they would get two votes from the families of the winners. A hundred votes should be enough, right? Xu Yipeng could still use the remaining votes as a favor.
"There are 4 nominees for each award, and there are a total of 48 nominees. Each unit gets 10 tickets, and the total is 480 tickets. With the additional tickets from the ministries and associations, I think there are still not enough seats! "
"Huh? Each unit needs 10 tickets? How come there are so many tickets? Their units are so far away, and there are still people who would come to Beijing to watch the gala? " Xu Yipeng felt it was unbelievable. The train ride from Guangdong to Beijing was more than a day and a night.
Feng Yu was speechless. You might be in Beijing, and you might not feel anything if you watch CCTV programs frequently. But for those companies' employees, it was an honor to be able to watch CCTV programs, especially if you can appear on TV. Many people were envious of you.
"Director Xu, don't tell me you think that I paid for all the five million yuan for this evening party? Have you heard of anyone paying for such a grand gala? Those nominated units had also paid for the tickets. What's wrong with them asking for some tickets? That is their employee's benefits! Can you not give them tickets? Our association is the organizer and judging unit. All the voting committee members cannot attend the gala. Do you think this is appropriate? "
Xu Yipeng was speechless. So, not all the money was from Feng Yu. He had thought that Feng Yu was stupid to pay for such a grand gala alone. So, it was all pooled together.
Since others had paid for the gala, Feng Yu must reserve seats for them. If he were the one paying for the gala, he would not agree even if there were no seats.
But what about the additional tickets that the leaders had promised? But many units had called to ask for a few tickets for their families to watch the gala live.
Especially when CCTV had already announced the cast, everyone was shocked. This was an all-star lineup. The worst performer was Sun Nan, but he was also a good singer. The rest of the performers were all famous in China. Many people wanted to watch the gala live.
Watching it live would be more exciting than watching it on TV!
Suddenly, a voice came from the side. "There is still a lot of space between the stage and the audience. Other than adding more round tables, you can also add more seats. I don't dare to say how many seats it will be, but it should not be a problem for 100 to 200 seats."
Xu Yipeng wanted to scold this person. Who is this person? How dare he order me, the Chief Director? Feng Yu is the association's representative, and I cannot scold him. You are asking me to vent my anger on you!
But when he turned around, he immediately swallowed the curses he wanted to say. Instead, he instantly put on a smile and said, "Chief Jia, why are you here?"
Deputy Chief Jia looked at Feng Yu and asked. "General Manager Feng, there should be no problems with this arrangement, right? Some of the additional tickets that we had agreed to must not be canceled. But we will surely give additional tickets to the units you mentioned. They will also be closer to the stage. "
"Chief Jia, if you say so, then I have no problems with this arrangement. But there is still a small arrangement. All the nominees for the same award must be seated next to each other. This way, it will be more convenient when the cameras panned to them. "
"What? Even the audience has to give us a shot? "Xu Yipeng had a constipated expression on his face. Wasn't the camera just going to sweep over the audience's shot? Even if it was for the sake of the effect, it would be enough to find a few people to film. Was there a need to give the entire audience a shot?
"They are the representatives of the various finalists and also people who have made great contributions to the country. Why shouldn't they be given a shot? The person on stage to receive the award was the leader. Could it be that the workers could not even get a shot? Director Xu, this kind of thinking is not good. "Feng Yu looked distressed and raised the significance of this to the level of national contribution.
Xu Yipeng almost died of anger. My awareness is not good enough? So what if I'm enlightened? Are you very clear-minded? Do you think I don't know that you arranged the best seats for your family?
Deputy Chief Jia patted Xu Yipeng's shoulder and stopped him from retorting. He turned his head and asked Feng Yu again, "General Manager Feng, other than these, do you have any other thoughts?"
