Chapter 24 Chapter 2 The New Year Countdown

Let me first talk about a little secret of our live TV broadcast: the live broadcast is not broadcast synchronously in the real sense, but with a delay for a period of time.For example, every night of "News Network", what everyone sees on TV starts at 19:00 Beijing time, the opening title is inserted, and the live broadcast begins.But in fact, at 18:59:57 Beijing time, the recording of "News Network" had already started, and it was only broadcast with a delay of three seconds. These three seconds are actually reserved for the relevant personnel of the TV station to supervise the live broadcast. If there is an emergency, they will deal with it in time within three seconds.

I remember that one year, our station hosted the Spring Festival Gala and counted down to the new year. We tried every means to get the "treatment" delayed by one second. This was not easy, which shows that the station trusts everyone.Everyone thought that this second was dispensable, as long as the "1" at the end of the countdown was lengthened, but the problem often appeared in the most certain place.In the first few hours, the show was going on step by step. It was almost midnight, two and a half minutes before the arrival of the new year, all the hosts came to the stage. According to the plan prepared before, you said something to each other, or talked about the emotion of the year, Or sending New Year's blessings, slowly consuming time, just to wait for the moment of the New Year's Eve.But just when the prepared plan was almost finished, and the time was basically exhausted, with only 10 seconds left, an accident happened!

It's not that the host on stage said something wrong or something happened, but the director found out: the countdown clock in front of the stage for everyone's reference is not accurate!Five seconds faster than Beijing time!This is bad because my partner has already started the countdown.According to the plan agreed upon during the rehearsal, the countdown started 10 seconds in advance, one count per second, and she started the countdown at the 10-second countdown, which was absolutely right. However, the clock ahead "deceived" us. what to do?At this time, my partner had already pinpointed the time, and said excitedly: "The New Year's bell is about to ring, let's count down together..." Suddenly, the director's horrified voice came from my earphones: "It's not here yet, it's not here yet!" Well, think of a way!"

At that time, I felt that what came from the earphones was not the voice of the director at all, but a thunderbolt from the blue sky.The live broadcast cannot be stopped, and the program must continue.To make matters worse, only I have earphones, and none of the other hosts, except me, no one knows about it, and they are all counting down together. Before the voice finished, the countdown had already started, 10, 9, 8... I didn't even have time to think about what to do!calm down!Can't count any more!I yanked my partner from behind with such force that I could even see her sway.She froze for a moment, glanced at me, and continued to say: 7——I didn't care so much anymore, so I opened my mouth to interrupt her: "Haha, we practiced just now, do you find it enjoyable? Everyone, the new one What wish do you have in this year? Hurry up and make a wish..." At this time, the director's voice sounded in the earphones: "Hua Shao, the countdown is on!" Without a pause, I continued: "Because it is coming soon. Come, Let's count down together, 10, 9..."
