He would have long seen through the station head’s mocking attitude.
But now, Guixin seemed to have reached a dead end.
He didn’t want to apologize, he just felt that Kailai was perfunctory.
“I heard that you’re calling various public relations companies.” The station head sneered. “Has anyone agreed to take your job?”
Guixin was stunned. He glanced at the work around him and became angry. Who reported it?
Otherwise, why would the station head know about what was happening in the office?
“There are, but…” Guixin mumbled, “They’re all small companies. They don’t look very reliable. ”
“At least you know that small companies are not reliable!” The station head laughed angrily. “Not a single reliable company accepted your job, couldn’t that explain the problem?”
Guixin stopped talking.
The station head sneered. “Alright, since you can’t apologize, I’ll get the public relations department to write a script to apologize in the name of your production team. It is better to have the public relations department write a script than to write an apology like last time, but let the netizens see that you were not sincere.”
This time, Guixin couldn’t make the decision. The station head personally made the decision for him.
Everyone in the production team heaved a sigh of relief.
They had long wanted to quickly apologize and end this matter.
“Also, regarding your program,” the station head said.
Everyone knew that this was the main purpose of the station head’s visit.
Everyone subconsciously held their breaths and became nervous.
“Let’s see how the second episode will be broadcast next week.” The station head said, “If the ratings aren’t good, then don’t broadcast it anymore. I will arrange the time for other programs that were queuing up to be broadcast. Our station does not lack variety shows.” 𝓝𝑂𝓋𝑬𝒍𝑈𝑠𝔅.𝒸𝒐𝚖
“But we’ve already recorded the fourth episode,” Guixin hurriedly said. “If it’s all recorded and not broadcasted, it will be too wasteful.”
“Even if the ratings are good, it would be a waste to stand in the station’s primetime slot of variety shows!”The station head said angrily, “That’s enough for now.”
Without waiting for Guixin’s reply, the station head left.
Guixin didn’t even know what would happen to him if the results of the broadcast were not good.
Was it one of the two options the station head had given him?
However, the rest of the production team was not worried.
If Guixin were to leave after the show was over, they could just go to another director.
The station did not lack variety shows, nor did it lack directors.
Soon, the public relations department posted a long apology on Weibo in the name of the production team of “In Position, Shoot.”
This time, Xingke Station reposted the apology on Weibo with a sincere attitude. They also expressed that the station would strictly control the production of programs in the future and resolutely prevent such a situation from happening again.
Furthermore, they had already terminated their collaboration with Zhang Lun and Chengbing. They would no longer be the judges for “In Position, Shoot.” At the same time, they hoped that the netizens would supervise them so that they could produce better shows in the future.
This apology was quite sincere, but the netizens didn’t buy it.
The only thing that improved their mood was that they did not need to see Zhang Lun and Chengbing’s faces on television.
In the apology Weibo written by the public relations department, not only did it apologize to Jiang Xun, but it also apologized to Shuxiao and Haolun.
It could be considered to have been done very well.
But even so, when the second episode was broadcast, it still created a huge pitfall.
Furthermore, it was the deepest pitfall in the history of Xingke Station.
Even if Xingke Station had a program that failed, it had never had such poor viewership ratings.
Xingke Station immediately stopped the broadcast of “In Position, Shoot.”
They immediately halted the broadcast of “In Position, Shoot,” citing program adjustments as the reason for temporary suspension.
However, the majority of the netizens knew that this was just an excuse that Xingke Station had found to make it sound better.
Actually, it was because of the poor results of “In Position, Shoot” that it was taken off the air.
“It’s not just stopped broadcasting,” Xin’an told Jiang Xun. Xin’an was now like a gossip hub. She knew all the gossip.
Moreover, the authenticity was guaranteed.
“Yang Guixin was fired. Of course, the euphemism was that Yang Guixin voluntary resigned, but everyone knew that this was the last bit of face that Xingke Station had left for him,” Xin’an said to Jiang Xun, “He was essentially fired.”
“As for Zhang Lun and Liang Chengbing, because of CEO Qin’s Weibo post, I heard that no one is looking for them to direct anymore. Even for low-budget online dramas, no one is looking for them. Although they had works in the past, “In Position, Shoot” was the last project that would hire them, but they were relying on past achievements. But now, no one cared about their past accomplishment. The two of them were very unpopular with the audience now. The audience did not watch any programs with them on, so no one invited them.”
This time, Xingke Station’s apology announcement gave her 5 merit points.
However, it was mostly because of the favorable impression the netizens gave her.
She now had a total of 87-99 million favorability points.
After skimming off the zeros, Jiang Xun calculated that she could exchange a total of 87990 merit points.
Jiang Xun decisively converted all these into merit points. Adding on the original 322492 merit points, she now had a total of 410482 merit points. Now, unlocking all the remaining dance skills required 350,000 merit points.
It was enough.
However, Jiang Xun was not in a hurry to unlock it. What if there was an emergency in the future that required merit points?
Jiang Xun thought that there would be no more variety shows looking for her for a while, so she could use this time to rest well.
Unexpectedly, she received a call from Yicheng.
It was about Feng Videos’ ace talent show, “Blazing Talents.”
This variety show selected nine trainees to make their debut.
The competition was a test of singing and dancing skills.
“Why would Feng Videos ask me to participate in this show?” Jiang Xun was surprised. “They want me to be a mentor? What kind of mentor can I be?”
She was not a professional in this field.
She had never learned to sing or dance.
“You dance very well!” Yicheng said happily, “Although that lousy show didn’t release your performance, some netizens posted it on Weibo. When the director of ‘Blazing Talents’ saw it, he had the idea of making you a mentor.” Jiang Xun was speechless.
“Are you worried that the audience will think that you are not professional enough and scold you?” After Yicheng had experienced the huge trap of “In Position, Shoot,” he no longer advised Jiang Xun to participate in any variety shows. It was all up to Jiang Xun.
He was only in charge of conveying the message. If Jiang Xun was unwilling to participate, he would not try to persuade her.
Yicheng had been blaming himself because of the drama with “In Position,
Shoot.”
If he hadn’t kept persuading Jiang Xun to participate, so many things wouldn’t have happened and Jiang Xun wouldn’t have suffered.
Although the netizens said that Jiang Xun was not bullied, Yicheng still felt that Jiang Xun had been wronged.
Hadn’t she suffered enough from being treated unfairly?
“This is something that needs to be considered,” Yicheng muttered. “Your reputation is very good now. It’s completely different from the past where you were scolded for everything you did..”
