Chapter 14 fourteen

The owner of the karaoke bar asked the new singer disdainfully: "Do you have this wealth? If you can prove it with applause from the audience, I will invite you!" I can’t get on the table, how can I succeed? "There is a magazine in Taiwan, and I would like to invite your classmate Jiu Anna, who is a professional model, to take a cover photo." I just returned to New York, and I told you the good news, but you spread your hands: "Jianna is no longer a model!" "Why?" I was surprised: "The height of 180 centimeters, she is beautiful, she has the qualifications for this!"

"Frustration frustration! Do you know? Her agent asked her to go to different places for interviews every three days. Don't say ten to nine times, it's a hundred times, and ninety-nine times! It's hard to get it. I had an opportunity to go to Canada to take photos for a fashion magazine, but the weather was bad, and the photographer needed a background of blue sky, but although I got the money, the photos were not accepted.” You felt very sorry for her and said: “The most popular It was winter vacation. She took a good job and went to the Bahamas for location shooting. Unexpectedly, when she happily flew to Miami, she found out that the Bahamas was a foreign island and she didn’t have a passport. She was not allowed to enter the country. , I had no choice but to go back home, but the ordinary cabin was full, and I bought a first-class ticket and came back, but her agent asked her to pay for the round-trip ticket herself, Jiuana was almost bankrupt, so she decided to quit!"

"Does that make sense to you?" I asked. "It makes sense! Frustration is a sense of frustration. Frustration over and over again!" So let me tell you a few personal experiences! In the year when I just graduated from university, I was very lucky to get an opportunity to host the three-channel simulcast National Day Gala. Due to the good response, a certain company invited me to produce and host a similar program.So I was busy with the liaison of the show every day, and wrote the script myself, and even recorded with the singer, making a temporary cameo: There is a short play in the program, which I also wrote, but when I worked hard to find all kinds of historical materials and finished the script, the director said no, and he asked someone to rewrite it, but only changed a few paragraphs. The screenwriter changed to someone else's name, not to mention the screenwriting fee.

Not long after, the company asked me to be the host of a party. Afterwards, the director gave me the signing of the hosting fee and said, "I'm sorry! Because the production fee is not enough, although you signed the number, we can only pay half of it. The rest has to be used to subsidize others!" After a while, they came to me again, said there was a quiz show that should be improved, and introduced me to the producer. The producer was also very enthusiastic, and asked me to immediately participate in the planning of the new program and write the script of the first episode:, unexpectedly, the script was sent up, but nothing came to light. It turned out that the producer jumped ship with the planning proposal of the new program!

So the company asked me to find another producer... Speaking of which, let me ask, if it were you, would you still go on?And the many encounters I mentioned earlier, do they count as Frustration? I went!This is why I hosted "Every Second Counts".The ratings for that program were very high, and I became the later "Whispers from the Firefly Window" in the opening remarks of each program! Let's talk about "Whispers from the Firefly Window" again!You know what happened when I took the manuscript of the first episode and went to meet with a publishing company executive?He casually flipped through a few pages, handed the manuscript back to me at an angle, and said with a smile:

"We are not interested in such a small book!" His smile, I will never forget it in my life. Then I took it to the publishing department of the TV company and said, "Since this content is broadcast by the company, can it be published by the company?" The other party's reply was similar: "It's such a small book...you can publish it yourself!" It is this sentence "you do it yourself!" that made me write one after another, and published one after another, which built up my confidence in writing and created more things! To this day, I often think: If it were not for the previous setbacks, if it was published hastily by others, it might not be so successful in sales, and I would not be where I am today.

Thinking about it further, if I had been haggling with the director and discussed it with the person in charge of the company, I might have been able to "fight for justice", but it is very likely that I would not have the opportunity later, and there would be no "every second counts", and there would be no "Whispers in the Fire Window" ", I will not be hired into the news department. So let's talk about the news department!When I entered the news department, due to the good reputation of "every second counts", some media companies asked me to come back to host, and even got more than a dozen advertisements.Unexpectedly, the company agreed first, but temporarily changed the suspension because the reporter was not suitable to also be a program, and gave me another news program-"Current Affairs Forum", and asked me to be the producer and host.

At that time, the domestic news standards were very strict. Everyone said that I not only lost the golden egg, but also took a hot potato. This is indeed the case. The first episode was recorded in the morning, and I was notified in the afternoon-"No airing "!"The reason is that too much criticism of the college entrance examination will affect the emotions of candidates and parents, and affect social stability. And the program will be aired the next day, and I became an ant on the hot pot in a hurry. Is this Frustration? If it was you, or your classmate Jiu Anna, would you still do it?

I gritted my teeth and carried it down.In less than a year, "Current Affairs Forum" won the Golden Bell Award! Today, whenever I encounter setbacks, I am grateful, because my success comes from setbacks, and my good opportunities are often given by my opponents.When the mountain road in front collapsed, what I gained was to find another way out, and there I often saw beautiful scenery that others had never seen before, so the word "frustration" is not in my dictionary: Let's talk about dedicating the mountain road!When I returned to China last year, I went to Lishan with a friend who was a TV actor.After arriving, he suddenly received a call from Taipei in the middle of the night, asking him to go back and record a farce in which a man disguised himself as a woman.

"It must be another big-name actor who refused to act, so it will be my turn!" He said, "Sorry! I have to go back early tomorrow morning!" "Since it's a buffoon that no one else wants to play, why did you accept it?" "Because this is a rare opportunity for me to play the leading role. To be successful, you must first be on the stage! If you can't even be on the stage, how can you succeed?" His words are very short, but they tell the real life, the real world!It also reminds me of what a famous singer said to me more than ten years ago: "When I was unsatisfactory, I asked to go to the karaoke hall to sing. The boss actually said with disdain: 'Do you have this worth? If you can prove it with applause from the audience, I will invite you!' At that time, I felt insulted , but I swallowed my tears and said: 'Yes! I can find someone to buy tickets to support!' And I did pay for tickets, invited relatives and friends to watch, and applauded for me. Gradually, the applause grew It got louder and louder, not only the people I invited, but also many listeners who came to praise me on their own initiative, and even in the end, my relatives couldn’t get a ticket if they wanted to go..."

One of her most memorable lines was: "To be successful, you have to be on the stage first! If you can't even get on the stage, how can you succeed?" And this countertop is easy to get on?You often have to endure humiliation, bear burdens, pay money, lose money, suffer losses, and secretly swallow tears before you can go up! In this way, can Jiuna's Frustration be considered a setback?If she is afraid of setbacks, can she stand on stage?Can it be successful again? Please chew on my words carefully and pass them on to Jiuna! : correct!I'm still a little curious. As a top student in the third grade of Stuyvesant Middle School, how can I not know that the Bahamas is a foreign country?
