Chapter 99 Club Preparations and the Media Academy's Recruitment Plan
"Teacher Mu!"
His eyes were filled with shock.
"This is an open conspiracy! It's brilliant; everyone can see the logic, but no one can stop it!"
Mu Jiuzhang glanced at him and continued speaking, ignoring his sigh.
"Once the positions are secured, we'll use our connections in the town to arrange for these athletes and teachers, who have already obtained high school positions, to be seconded from the school to the club in Tiancun to lead the team full-time."
After she finished speaking, she gently placed the marker in the whiteboard tray.
Lin Yan didn't say anything, but slowly clapped his hands.
"……high."
He only said this one word.
Lin Jiayao, on the other hand, could no longer hold back. He stood up, braced his hands on the table, and leaned forward.
"Teacher Mu, you've absolutely mastered the rules!!"
He turned to look at Lin Yan, his eyes filled with indescribable emotion.
"Don't be moved. Going down this path involves talking to Section Chief Ma, talking to schools in the county, and compiling a list of retired athletes that can be reached throughout the province. There's a lot to do. Don't think that just because you've figured out the logic, you've finished."
After she finished speaking, she turned to the whiteboard and drew a checkmark at the end of the line about the sports coach.
Then, her gaze fell on the line below.
"New media talent... well, I really don't have any ideas about that."
Lin Jiayao's previous high spirits faltered at this moment.
He stared at the four words on the whiteboard and scratched his head.
"This... is indeed a difficult problem."
He stood in front of the whiteboard for a while, and thought for a long time before speaking.
"The kind of short video IP we're creating isn't something you can just shoot casually. It requires someone who understands account operation logic, knows how to shoot, how to edit, how to package real stories into content that can be shared, and it also needs to be consistent with our main theme of helping people with disabilities..."
He frowned.
"The young people in the village can use their phones and watch short videos without any problem, but they really can't set up the whole system for creating sophisticated online content, shooting and operating it. Although I've seen Jiaqing make videos on Douyin, to be honest, the kind of videos she makes of ordinary people sharing their daily lives are very different from the kind of videos I imagine. But if you asked me to describe it myself, I wouldn't be able to."
Lin Yecheng nodded, his expression unusually serious.
"Yes, this isn't something you can just learn casually; it's a professional skill."
"Then should we find an outside media company?" Lin Yan asked.
Lin Jiayao shook his head and twirled the marker in his palm.
"I've looked into those established media companies outside, and quite a few of them are now producing rural content, but... they're too commercialized."
He frowned.
"Everyone's chasing after traffic and monetization; they'll do whatever you want if you pay them. But that kind of spirit is completely different from what we're trying to do. Our core is authenticity, the real stories of these kids. Once you get involved with those tricks..."
He made a cutting motion with his hand near his neck.
"This thing is dead."
Mu Jiuzhang gave a soft "hmm," which was taken as acknowledgment of his judgment.
"so……"
Lin Yan looked at the whiteboard and drawled out his words.
"We can't find them, we can't buy them, and we don't have the time to train them ourselves..."
As he spoke, his tone began to sound somewhat helpless, and he leaned back in his chair.
"Then what do we do?"
There was another moment of silence in the office.
Several people stared blankly at the question marks on the whiteboard.
Just then, Lin Yecheng spat out the toothpick he was holding in his mouth and tilted his head thoughtfully.
"etc……"
His gaze swept over the group of people.
Why should we search for a needle in a haystack in society?
Mu Jiuzhang turned his gaze to the side and glanced at him.
Lin Yecheng pulled the chair forward and straightened his back.
"Aren't they available at universities?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jiayao's eyes lit up.
"right!"
He suddenly stood up from his chair, startling Lin Yecheng who was next to him.
"Our province only has one media college, right?!"
Lin Jiayao gripped the marker back in his hand, his face flushed with excitement.
"The students there! Broadcast and television directing, photography, they are all professionally trained, their professional skills are definitely up to standard, and they are all students who haven't even graduated yet, so they must have that passion in their hearts."
He spoke as he wrote on the whiteboard.
"I learned a lot of knowledge, but after graduation, I faced the challenge of finding a job. The competition among media companies in big cities is fierce; once I got in, I was just doing menial tasks, never getting a chance to actually do anything!"
Lin Jiayao's speech became faster and faster, and he entered a state of excitement.
"But our project is different! It's a real story with flesh and blood, a strong and inspiring narrative, a background of rural revitalization, and the simple values of the masses..."
He drew a big checkmark on the whiteboard, then turned around with a look of absolute certainty.
"We went to the School of Media and Communication to see their pioneering media project that combines rural revitalization with IP support for people with disabilities. We told those passionate college students, 'Come here, from the very first frame, you'll be a key creator, not just doing odd jobs. You'll be a true core member of the content team!'"
Lin Yecheng nodded in agreement.
"This...this works pretty well."
Mu Jiuzhang adjusted his glasses and spoke softly.
"College students have high mobility, and stability is a problem."
However, the program for young teachers is also worth considering. Practical project experience can be helpful for their research and professional title promotion, and there will be people willing to take on temporary assignments and collaborate with them.
Lin Jiayao turned his head and clapped his hands.
"Yes, yes, yes! Young teachers are more stable! People with social resources produce works with a different scope!"
Lin Yan listened for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with this line of thinking. He slowly turned the water glass in his hand and spoke leisurely.
"Then let's go talk to them. Find a contact person, schedule a time, and go to the School of Media Studies..."
"right!"
Lin Jiayao suddenly fixed his gaze on Lin Yan.
"You're going too."
Lin Yan stopped drinking the water glass at his lips.
"...What?!"
"Yes, you go, you have to go."
Lin Jiayao crossed his arms, looking confident and composed.
"Ah Yan, you don't understand. What's the most important thing about getting young people to eat pancakes?"
He gestured with his hands to indicate the name.
"It's about making them feel respected, about creating resonance! If you were to send me, who here could resonate with recent college graduates more than you? If you were to send Teacher Mu..."
Mu Jiuzhang's gaze was calm yet dangerous.
Lin Jiayao immediately sped up and skipped the node.
"...In short, it's a completely different story if you go; you're not even in the same league!!"
He walked over to Lin Yan, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"Ayan, in this kind of situation, the chairman must personally step in to maintain order, understand?"
Lin Yan: "..."
