At noon, there were a lot of people at the Magic City TV station, with all kinds of people and skin colors, coming and going, it looked like a passenger terminal.

Guan Chen still remembered the phone call he had with Little Bear not long ago, so he wanted to learn to observe life, observe people, and accumulate materials like his predecessor.

Guan Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to take pictures, but the security guard didn't know whether he thought he was a commercial spy or a groupie, and kept circling around him. Guan Chen took pictures for a while, then put away his mobile phone in disappointment. It was not because of the security guard.

Interference, but he found that most people were in a hurry, a few were exhausted, and the homogeneity was serious, and there was basically no value for observation.

I don’t know if his observation method is wrong or if he chose the wrong place.

Guan Chen thought it was the latter, so he stood up from the ground and walked to the rest area of ​​the hall.

The rest area is connected to the bar selling drinks. Many people ordered a drink and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows while basking in the filtered sun, chatting, reading, or waiting.

Guan Chen uses the amount of drinks left on people's tables to judge the length of the conversation and whether the atmosphere is harmonious.

Finally, he found a table with slightly less drinks than full. He probably just sat down. He quietly lurked aside, ready to listen to other people's lives.

After listening for a while, the situation at the table next to me was roughly that one person was talking about his dream, while the other two people were denying his dream.

The person who denied it had a sign on his chest. He seemed to be a staff member of the TV station and had rich experience in TV series production. He listed one, two or three reasons to explain why that person's "Rating Ratings Boom" was a delusion, and

Not a dream.

They asked him to change the subject. The person who was attacked finally had no choice but to say sadly that he would take it back and change it.

[How miserable.] Guan Chen listened with relish while drinking milk tea.

At another table, there were two employees who were sent to run errands to buy drinks. While waiting for the drinks to be made, the two of them chatted about other programs of their colleagues. They talked about the programs of other colleagues, and they talked clearly and eloquently. When a certain program was mentioned, they immediately said the ratings.

It’s not good, because of the time period, lack of funds, and lack of a good host...

[They are talking about their own show.] Guan Chen made a judgment.

Guan Chen originally wanted to listen to it interestingly for a while, but as he sat here, he slowly attracted the attention of some people around him - everyone thought he was an artist.

This hindered Guan Chen's eavesdropping plan.

Some young girls looked at him frequently, and he became the object of observation; the people at the next few tables not only lowered their voices when chatting, but also changed the topic, as if he would talk to someone after listening.

Guan Chen felt bored. He looked at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes before the scheduled meeting time.

Guan Chen sucked away the last pearl and ate it, got up and walked to the bookstore next to the bar.

Guan Chen noticed this bookstore when he played with Little Bear last time. But he didn't have time to visit it last time.

Guan Chen likes books very much now. When passing a bookstore, he can't help but go in and browse to see if there are any books that suit his taste.

Some are good as long as the content is to your taste, and some are just as long as the book cover is to your liking.

The paper and cover material of the hardcover book are better than ordinary ones. It can be carried close to the body, and it may be able to block knives. It is also good to use the spine of the book to attack the enemy's throat. Combined with his pen, it can form a self-defense suit for intellectuals.

Guan Chen is looking for a hardcover book whose content and cover meet the requirements.

Walking into the bookstore, I found that although the space inside is small, the types of books are quite suitable for Guan Chen's taste. After all, the customers here are people who come and go from TV stations, and they do not need books related to agriculture and medicine.

The table that catches your eye when you enter is the best-selling section, which displays books that have been selling well recently.

Guan Chen once thought that he would be familiar with "Yunman at 4:30 AM", "Shui Mu at 2:30 AM", or best-sellers with a fresh sentence as the title, but in the end he was disappointed to find that the best-sellers here

Books are not all cheap chicken soup.

Sometimes it’s popular literature, sometimes it’s a debut work by a newcomer to the literary world, sometimes it’s a new work by a famous artist. If a very influential award has recently announced a list, then a collection of poems may also have a chance to become a bestseller.

After Guan Chen entered [Junior High School], he basically picked books from the best-selling section.

Probably because the people at the TV station didn't have high emotional intelligence, Guan Chen found that there were many workplace books in the best-selling section, and they all wanted to improve the emotional intelligence of their customers.

Guan Chen picked up a book called How People with High Emotional Intelligence Speak. The waistband said, [Magic for Winning in the Workplace]. He flipped through it and found a page, which told him that when he wanted to say "I can't", he could change it.

Replace it with "I can learn"; change "Do you understand?"

He sneered, that's all he needs, a cadre and reserve shareholder like him can only be looked at by his employees.

Putting down the book, Guan Chen walked to the [Children's Book Area] to see if the black cat detective had caught any new criminals, but he found three little ones standing in front of him.

It stands to reason that today is not a holiday or a weekend, and primary school students should still be in school at this time. But Guan Chen was only confused for a moment, and it was not very strange. Because this is a TV station, and the entertainment industry is the only one that can use child labor openly.

place.

Looking at the clothes of these three little ones, Guan Chen guessed that these three might have been in the industry longer than him.

Guan Chen thought this way and stopped to look at what books they had chosen.

A few little ones were hesitant about what to choose.

"I recommend this book." Guan Chen, who was behind them, listened for a few minutes and couldn't help but come forward to recommend it.

"Are you an adult now?" The little boy turned around and saw Guan Chen, feeling that Guan Chen's recommendation was not very reliable.

"Adults are just children with more sound moral values." Guan Chen feels that he has no moral values, so the recommended books must also be suitable for children.

The little one was infected by Guan Chen's confidence and couldn't help but see what he recommended.

""Calabash Man"? You've seen this a long time ago!" The little ones burst into laughter.

The strange thing is that even though everyone has seen it, they are still happily discussing how the seven gourd men can use their skills to subdue demons and defeat enemies.

"That's not right." Guan Chen shook his head inexplicably.

The little ones stopped complimenting each other and looked at Guan Chen.

"The snake demon and her husband in it lived a peaceful life, but seven little devils came to make trouble for them one after another. In the workplace, such unforeseen disasters often happen, so what we need to learn from should be the snake demon with superior intelligence.

Ah." Guan Chen recommended: "For example, if the hero is extremely powerful, the snake demon will trap him with his money-seeking eyes; if the two heroes are clairvoyant and have ears for the wind, the snake demon will fan the evil wind and blind the opponent..." Guan Chen pointed out the places of the snake demon one by one.

The methods used include wearing small shoes, splashing dirty water, grabbing the small tail, buckling the hat, breaking from the inside, taking advantage of others...

"This is the real magic weapon for winning in the workplace." Guan Chen sighed.

The little ones looked at each other in confusion, holding the books in a daze, paying the money in a daze, and then walked to the elevator in a daze.

"Do one good deed every day and reach the standard." Guan Chen put his hand on his heart, feeling the touch of the good person's witness through his clothes, and felt that his soul was purer.

After walking around for a while, Guan Chen's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He took it out and looked at it, walked out of the bookstore, and saw Director Zhou, whom he was going to meet today, at the drink bar.

Nearly four months have passed since the filming of "Tonight".

Director Zhou was wearing a wrinkled plaid shirt and baggy trousers. His eyelids seemed to be unable to lift up, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Compared with four months ago, he seemed to be four years older. He was already very successful.

He looks like a variety show director.

"Something happened during the late rush." ​​Director Zhou rubbed his eyes and asked Guan Chen, "What can I drink?"

Guan Chen ordered a cup of ice tea.

When filming "Tonight", Guan Chen had not bought a new mobile phone. After the filming of the show that day, Director Zhou gave him a business card. Guan Chen later saved the number in it. But it was only saved and there was no contact, so Director Zhou

They never knew Guan Chen's number.

Until two days ago, Guan Chen looked back at the people and things he met along the way after he came to this world, and found that the reason why he was able to reach this point without going astray was because it was Director Zhou who bought the book that night.

So after nearly four months, Guan Chen sent a text message to Director Zhou and asked him, "What is your wish? I can help you fulfill it."

"I was so scared that I thought I was going to die!" Director Zhou was drinking coffee and basking in the sun, recalling the text message with lingering fear.

"A normal person would suspect it's telecom fraud, right?" Guan Chen asked doubtfully, "Do you owe money outside?"

Director Zhou shook his head quickly: "At that time, I just finished interviewing a person who claimed to be a psychic. He talked about a lot of strange things he had encountered since childhood. I felt a little confused, and suddenly I received your text message. It was like some kind of omen.

Same."

Guan Chen said, "It seems that the program "Tonight" is doing well now."

"It's not bad." After finishing speaking, Director Zhou smiled and changed his words: "Compared with that time, it can be said to be very good. I have to thank you for this."

Director Zhou said that it was precisely because of the Guan Chen episode that their program team understood the next direction, determined the core of the program, and really made the idea come true. After it became popular online, the program's ratings also improved.

It got better a little bit, "You later appeared on "Extreme Man", netizens dug out your episode, and the ratings of our program increased a little." Now their broadcast time has also been mentioned to ten o'clock, it is no longer late at night.

It’s stalled.

"Just help each other." Guan Chen smiled.

Director Zhou began to tell Guan Chen about the interesting interview subjects he had met in the past few months. There were all kinds of people.

Guan Chen also listened very seriously. He is no longer the person he was four months ago who had no ideas and didn't know what to do after eating.

At this time, listening to Director Zhou talk about the changes in the program, he no longer felt bored or confused.

Just now he had been wanting to understand other people's lives, but now that he thinks about it carefully, isn't this what "Tonight" is doing?

As he listened, Guan Chen felt more and more that Director Zhou's experience could confirm something in his heart - to create, you really need to get through yourself first. Whether it's a TV series or a variety show, if you create something,

Even the creators themselves don’t believe it, so no matter how much money they spend and how much they build up their momentum, what they express is just a weak noise that will soon be drowned out by other voices.

"I asked you out this time because I want to ask you something." Director Zhou said.

Guan Chen waited for the other party to speak.

He sent that text message to Director Zhou because he really wanted to repay his kindness. Unexpectedly, Director Zhou called him the next day and said that he might really need Guan Chen's help.

Director Zhou sorted out his words and explained his purpose:
