These 3 days, Feng Yu was busy preparing for CCTV's New Year's Day Awards Gala. He made a phone call, and Sun Nan, Na Ying, and the rest arrived. New Year's Day Awards Gala was only second to the Spring Festival Gala. Being able to perform at this gala was beneficial to their popularity. Furthermore, Wind & Rain Electronics will record the gala's contents into a CD. More people will be able to enjoy their performances for a longer period of time.
Ever since the first New Year's Day Awards Gala, the people had gotten used to watching the gala on New Year's Day. Many people even felt that the New Year's Day Awards Gala was more interesting than the Spring Festival Gala, especially the speeches of the honored guests, the short video clips, and the banners that often popped up in the audience seats. It made them feel very happy.
Many units even imitated the gala, and their staffs would dress up in the same way and shout slogans. When the leaders went on stage to speak, they would also praise their workers for their hard work.
As usual, Feng Yu did not spend much on this gala. All the nominated units had raised the money for this gala. If you don't want our company to raise the money, then we will not even have a chance to be nominated.
There were also some people who tried to raise more money. It was obvious they wanted to buy the prizes. But Feng Yu had set 2 criteria. One was to be nominated, and the other was to be an ordinary member of the association.
This amount of money was enough. If Feng Yu were to raise more money, how would he explain it to them? With this bit of money now, each family could raise 100,000 to 200,000 RMB. It could be said that they were raising funds to host the gala. If there was a surplus, and it was not a small amount, then the nature of the association would change. In the future, the credibility of this award would be reduced, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
This year's New Year's Eve Gala also had a pioneering move, which was to delay the broadcast for an hour. The recording will start at 7 pm and be delayed by 1 hour. The broadcast will start at 8 pm.
This was a test of the director's skills. Not only the director, the director, and the host must not make any mistakes. Luckily, this was not a live broadcast, and there were still opportunities for editing.
They did not dare to do a live broadcast as they were afraid the winners would say something inappropriate. Many of them had forgotten their lines when they went on stage. This affected the program.
However, the director of the New Year's Eve Gala was confident that after this experiment, the results would be good. Next year, it would be changed to a delayed broadcast of five minutes. After another year, it would be broadcast live like the Spring Festival Gala!
During the first New Year's Eve Gala, he was still very dissatisfied with Feng Yu. The whole place was filled with product placement advertisements, all kinds of slogans, and even the short videos were advertisements.
But in the end, the audience felt that it was very fresh and interesting. This could be proved by the letters sent by the program. Later on, they only restricted the shouting of slogans, which would make the scene more chaotic. The rest of the banners, videos, advertisements, etc., were not important. This was because this Gala was organized by the association, and they were paying for it. They had even given CCTV a sum of money.
Since the station leaders had already spoken, there was nothing for the director to be conflicted about. Because of this New Year's Eve Gala Night, his status in CCTV had risen. He was now the Deputy Director of the Spring Festival Gala Night. This year's Spring Festival Gala Night was mostly directed by him, and next year, he will be the Chief Director of the Spring Festival Gala Night!
With this experience, he could be promoted to a higher position in the TV station. In the future, he might even be the Director of a TV channel.
Also, the director realized that Feng Yu had great foresight when it came to program planning. If it were not for Feng Yu, he would have been promoted to be his deputy. But it was a pity that Feng Yu, a big boss, would never come to CCTV and become his assistant.
That was why this year, Feng Yu had come to "criticize" again. The director did not say anything and only thought about Feng Yu's suggestions. As long as it was not against his principles, he would get his men to do it.
Don't forget that Feng Yu was the sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala Night. On the Spring Festival Gala Night, Feng Yu also had some say. Also, Feng Yu could easily invite Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities. This was something that the director could not do.
But this year was weird. Feng Yu only appeared at the first rehearsal and gave some suggestions. After that, he disappeared. Feng Yu was not used to Feng Yu's decision to let go.
Feng Yu felt that the director had done a good job. He was not as good as a stage supervisor when it came to the details. That's why he did not bother to direct them.
He still had more important things to do. For example, finding connections.
Jiang Xianjun told Feng Yu that he was only the Deputy Chairman. Although he had the support of the higher-ups, he could not make the decision alone unless it was the City's top leaders.
Jiang Xianjun told Feng Yu that if he wanted to invest in Quanjude, it must be discussed at the City's meeting. It was because of Quanjude!
Feng Yu understood. It was not difficult to invest in a century-old national brand. Furthermore, this was Beijing. Even the leaders of Quanjude might not dare to use money to do this.
But Feng Yu was satisfied with Jiang Xianjun's agreement. As for the higher-ups, Feng Yu will think of a way to deal with them. Feng Yu does not believe that the City's leaders would agree to anything he wants to do in Bing City, but not in Beijing.
Zhang Ruiqiang was helping him in Bing City. All he needed to do was to convince Zhang Ruiqiang, and everything would be settled. But in Beijing, he could not talk to the Mayor.
Feng Yu called Master Lu. Master Lu told him that the Mayor and his eldest uncle were not on the same side. They had different political views, and he could not help him. Furthermore, the Mayor of Beijing was just one step away from becoming the Vice Premier. He might not have to give face to his Big Uncle, let alone Master Lu.
But Master Lu also said that he could help to introduce the Executive Deputy Mayor to Bing City. But it was only a recommendation. Master Lu was not sure if the recommendation would succeed. As for convincing the Executive Deputy Mayor, it all depended on Feng Yu himself. Master Lu did not have the ability to ask the Executive Deputy Mayor for help.
Feng Yu understood Master Lu's intentions. He only asked Master Lu about the Executive Deputy Mayor's age, what he was in charge of and what achievements he had.
Giving money to the Executive Deputy Mayor was the most despicable method. Feng Yu did not want to use this method. Furthermore, it was not safe and could implicate himself. The best method was to place a political achievement in front of the Executive Deputy Mayor. This way, the Executive Deputy Mayor would not reject this offer.
Even if the Executive Deputy Mayor knew about this, what could they say? The Executive Deputy Mayor had made contributions to the City. Was there anything wrong with that? The Executive Deputy Mayor's achievements were also the City's achievements. Wasn't this for the welfare of the people?
Feng Yu thought for a while. If this matter went through the City Government, it should be settled. The Executive Deputy Mayor should not reject the credit of bringing a national brand out of China.
But soon, Master Lu called Feng Yu and told him a piece of bad news. Master Lu could not ask the Executive Deputy Mayor out through his father's name. Master Lu told him that he would think of other ways to get Feng Yu to give him a few days.
Feng Yu rejected him. If Master Lu could not ask the Executive Deputy Mayor out, then Zhang Han's father should be able to.
