Chapter 172 - I Love You, China
Afterstroking the spa.r.s.e hair on his head, Lu Zhengzhi wiggled his fat waist andb.u.t.tocks to make his huge body more comfortable against the soft chair, and theperfectly snug, neither soft nor hard, feeling from the seat also made him verycomfortable.
The littlebrother was shocked!
(TN: Thelittle brother here is referring to CCTV. This will be explained later in thechapter)
The directorof the CCTV Art and Literature Program Department secretly sighed in his heart.It was said that the seat under his b.u.t.tocks was worth more than 7,000 yuan andwas a product of ergonomic technology.
In the T1 StudioHall of Beijing Satellite TV, there were 2999 of the same soft chairs!
The newlyopened studio boasts the largest scale and the most advanced facilities inChina, and even Lu Zhengzhi was secretly jealous - CCTV’s largest studio can, atmost, only hold up to 2000 spectators.
As a mid-to-high-levelfigure of CCTV, Lu Zhengzhi went to Beijing Satellite TV today to watch thefirst rehearsal of the National Day Party.
CCTV, towhich Lu Zhengzhi belongs, also known as China Central Television, is the mostimportant news and public opinion organization in China, an importantideological and cultural front in China, and one of the most compet.i.tivemainstream media. It has a variety of functions such as news dissemination,social education, cultural entertainment, information services and otherfunctions.
Establishedin 1955, CCTV is the main channel for the public to obtain informationthroughout the country. It is also an important window for China to understandthe world and the world to understand China. It has a wide range of influenceinternationally.
Thepredecessor of CCTV is Beijing TV Station. After the restructuring, Beijing TVStation was divided into CCTV and Beijing TV. (TN: Thus, CCTV was the littlebrother, from what I understand.)
As thesaying goes, broken bones are still connected with tendons. The relations.h.i.+pbetween CCTV and Beijing TV is complex enough to write a thick book. Manysenior executives of Beijing TV are from CCTV, and the latter also has thedirect guidance responsibility to the former.
This impactis comprehensive.
The reasonwhy Beijing Satellite TV only produced its first reality show this year has alot to do with CCTV.
To someextent, Beijing Satellite TV relies on CCTV, but it was not willing to be apuppet of the latter.
The greatsuccess of “Singing China” ratings inevitably made CCTV, this littlebrother, have some thoughts.
So, LuZhengzhi came here today, not just to guide Beijing TV’s National Day Party!
Thinkingabout things, Lu Zhengzhi was a little lost in thought.
It wasn'tuntil he saw Lu Chen appearing on the stage that he turned his attention backto the program list in his hand.
“Thisprogram is…”
Lu Zhengstared at the words on the program list. He asked doubtfully, “w.a.n.g Bin’s NewChina New Time?”
AlthoughDirector Lu was a little nearsighted, he has a high-end gla.s.ses worth thousandsof yuan mounted on the bridge of his nose, so it was not hard to see what thepeople on the stage look like - this is w.a.n.g Bin?
You’ve gotto be kidding me!
Lu Zhengzhiand w.a.n.g Bin knew each other and have had dinner together.
Sitting nextto him, Gao Zhixue, director of Beijing TV Editorial Office, coughed. He saidawkwardly, “w.a.n.g Bin… w.a.n.g Bin’s program has been temporarilyreplaced.”
w.a.n.g Bin’sprogram has been replaced? With such a young man?
Lu Zhengzhi didn'tunderstand.
It was not uncommonfor TV station evening programs to be replaced during rehearsals. As for thereasons, they were very complicated. It could be because the program was reallybad. It could be because the performers have problems. Or it could have been thatperformers were pushed out by others.
But whatkind of person is w.a.n.g Bin? he is not only a first-cla.s.s celebrity; he is alsoa heavyweight guest for Beijing Satellite TV.
Will he be pushedout?
Lu Zhengzhishook his head and asked, “Did w.a.n.g Bin have an accident?”
