Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1663: Chapter 1647: Striking Gold

This is also because Tuo Huo Sining had watched many variety shows in her previous life, especially in the talk show category. Although she didn’t come from a professional television production background, she combined her knowledge of popular variety and talk shows from her past life. As an ordinary viewer, she had some understanding of the key points in a commentary program.

So, in this show, she appropriately added some humorous elements that would only appear in variety shows years later. By doing so, she elevated the show’s watchability by several levels.

The people in this studio weren’t amateurs. After seeing Huo Sining’s performance, they nodded quietly, whispering among themselves, secretly inquiring about where this host guest was found. The choice was indeed spot on.

Producer Li, on the side, clicked his tongue in wonder, astonished that a show, which seemed filled with preaching, was brought to life by Huo Sining and became a program rich with educational content, life tips, and even laughter.

”I’m already starting to feel sorry for Ke Zhenyue. He wants to replace such an excellent host guest, and in the end, he’s pushing himself out. Really, it’s like he’s lost his mind.”

”This program will definitely be a hit in both reputation and ratings. If he could serve as the chief director of this program, who knows how much his status and reputation would increase? This column alone could turn things around for him, but he just squandered such a good opportunity.”

Han Wen snorted, ”Isn’t this just perfect? I just want to see what face he’ll put on after the show is a success. I bet his expression will be priceless then!”

The first episode’s recording went smoother than anyone expected, as Huo Sining delivered her lines fluently, rarely getting stuck due to forgetting her lines. This level of performance was more than even Han Wen had anticipated.

This type of commentary program generally runs for an hour per episode, yet they only paused four or five times for makeup touch-ups and to refine some details. By the time it was just after twelve, the first episode was complete.

Xiao Ma double-checked on the screen again, confirming there were no issues with the recording, and then nodded to signal all was well.

Of course, this was just the initial shooting; it still required post-production and editing to become a complete episode.

Nonetheless, the speed was fast enough to astonish everyone. While the studio staff were eating the box lunches provided by the scene workers, their shooting progress had already caught the attention of the station’s leadership.

Upon hearing the news, He Guolin and two other vice station managers hurried over. They didn’t dare disturb Huo Sining and discreetly called Producer Li and director Xiao Ma over to inquire about the specifics in detail.

”Xiao Ma, I heard the first episode has already been recorded? That’s too fast. You’ve been with the tenth channel for so long, how can you be so rash and careless? This program has had interest from above; you can’t be so sloppy. If you don’t want to continue, that’s fine, but don’t ruin our tenth channel’s reputation.”

He Guolin only dared to say this to Xiao Ma, because he knew he couldn’t afford to offend Huo Sining:

”Is it because the host is difficult to handle? As a director, Miss Huo’s side is indeed challenging, but you have to find a way to solve it. You can’t be lax and perfunctory just because of this. This is your only chance to turn things around. You need to seize it and not let us veterans down.”

Xiao Ma and Producer Li were bewildered by He Guolin’s remarks, and when he finished speaking, Xiao Ma finally managed a wry smile:

”No, sir, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t slack off, and we really did complete it. If you don’t believe it, I can present the original footage for you to watch. Once you’ve seen it, you’ll understand.”

He Guolin was somewhat skeptical. Xiao Ma immediately signaled an assistant to bring the footage over and found a machine to replay it for He Guolin and the two vice managers.

After watching the footage, He Guolin and the two managers were left speechless.

They had never seen Huo Sining’s novel way of presenting, yet they didn’t find the footage monotonous or tedious at all. Instead, they watched with rapt attention, and once the footage ended, they still felt an unsatisfied urge to see more.

This was a rare experience. He Guolin and the others were veterans of the station, capable of climbing to this position; of course, they could make a certain judgment about a program’s positioning.

So after watching the footage, He Guolin was very excited, his eyes sparkling:

”Xiao Ma, indeed, the program’s initial intention should be like this. Educational programs are meant for ordinary folks; average people don’t understand those technical terms. This simple and straightforward interpretation is more acceptable to the general public, and more attention-grabbing! Who’s the scriptwriter in charge of planning this program? The script is well-written, and its positioning is quite good. Once this show is made, the treatment and bonuses for the scriptwriting team should be increased!”

Xiao Ma scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly: ”Station head, you’re mistaken. This was all Miss Huo’s revisions. The original script provided by the writing team was mostly filled with professional terms. We also thought antiquities should have a high-class feel; that being like that would seem more high-end, and saw no issue with that.”

”But after Miss Huo reviewed it, she revamped it on her own. We didn’t expect her to present it this way, but I think this is really good, giving the show a lot more highlights. Even sitting behind the equipment, I was engrossed listening to it.”

Upon hearing this, He Guolin was stunned for a moment and then marveled: ”Did she really revise it herself? This Miss Huo, she’s truly a talent. I thought...”

The vice manager beside him couldn’t help but laugh: ”You thought she was just a privileged vase, a figurehead, huh?”

He Guolin smiled awkwardly, ”Hey, I misunderstood. This young lady is remarkable; they chose well! Your program team really struck gold!”

Xiao Ma nodded in full agreement and took the opportunity to ask: ”So, sir, should we maintain the program’s tone as it is, what do you think?”

He Guolin nodded and said, ”Yes, yes, this approach is just right. I see Miss Huo is a smart person, destined for this line of work. If she’s doing well, you all should continue recording. Whatever props you need, I’ll go out of my way, even at the expense of my old face, to get them for you! Just follow this model and keep recording the rest as quickly as possible!”
