Yang An stood at the sink and looked at the angular, slightly handsome, but absolutely strange face in the mirror. He reached out and gently stroking the chin and rubbed his ears. Ouch!

　　After confirming that he was not dreaming, Yang An sighed. “Seems that I really crossed into a parallel world. Fortunately, I have become more handsome than originally…”

　　When he woke up, Yang An discovered that the world was very different from what he was used to. The geographical names remained consistent, and the development of science and technology is similar. However, after the Qing Dynasty, history completely changed. After the founding of the People's Republic, there is no demons who cultivated into elites. All culture and entertainment were different.

　　This was a good world full of opportunities.

Yang An determined that he occupied the original owner's body and obtained a portion of his memory. In his past life, he was a fussy office worker. Now he became… another incompetent office worker. He was now a small stage supervisor at Hongfeng TV who had only a 6 month contract. He didn't even have an official position. He had been constantly working in the equipment crew carrying machines to the point that he right was stronger than his left.  

[TN: Hongfeng TV means Red Maple TV.]

　　”s.h.i.+t, almost forgot, today Monday morning, the TV station will have a regular meeting!”

　　The mirror woke Yang An up . He realized that he had not enough time. He washed his face in a hurry, grabbed his backpack and rushed out.

　　Yang An lived in a relatively remote suburban area. The Hongfeng TV station was located in the center of the city. He rushed out of the subway station, and he huffed his way to the radio television building.

　　At 9 o'clock in the morning, the leader held the regular meeting. Yang An was responsible for the daily ch.o.r.es in the work area of ​​his own program group, cleaning, changing drinking water, and checking important equipment.

　　The program group where Yang An was located in was Hongfeng TV's “Jianghu Talk show”. It was a three-year old variety show that played in the 3-4 PM slot every Sunday. The program group's preparation were complete. From the producer director to the scriptwriters, there were a total of fifteen people.

　　Yang An worked with the photographer Gu Yunfeng together to maintain the cameras.

　　The two people were busy in the equipment area dismantling the was.h.i.+ng machine. Next to them were the drama and screenwriters, etc., watching the news and playing games while casually chatting away.

　　”Hey, I said, did anyone see yesterday's ratings?”

　　”The morning meeting didn't have time to announce them. The statistics will probably be sent later!”

　　”Whether or not they send it, we all know that the biggest suspense is to break 0.3%?”

　　”Enough! Our “Jianghu Talk Show” is still two months short of three years, and the ratings are decreasing gradually. This is normal, 0.309% two episodes ago, 0.304% in the previous episodes. According to this declining rate, yesterday's issue is estimated to just pa.s.s the 0.3% mark!”

　　”I think that is already good, whether it is our Hongfeng TV, Ziwei Satellite TV, Lanhai TV, or even CCTV, which variety program can last for three years?”

　　”There is the news!”

　　”Small Li, aren't you raising the bar! How is the news an entertainment show?”

　　"The audience watch the news broadcast every day and feel happy. Isn't this a variety show?"

“Go play!”[1]

　　The group of people talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed as if they were gossiping about someone else's program.
