When Zhu Youzhao heard Principal Ding say this,
His initially relieved expression gradually froze, then he carefully looked at Principal Ding and asked, "Principal Ding, do you mean...?"
"Vice Director Liu of NTS has said that they need it urgently. If you have already filmed and produced ’A Bite of Xia Country’, it would be fine, but you haven’t yet actually finished producing it, have you?"
Ding Yue responded with a shrug.
"So, Principal Ding, what... what should we do?" Zhu Youzhao became suddenly flustered.
He had thought that this was an opportunity for the School of Film and Television to turn around, but after hearing what Principal Ding said, it became doubtful because the fifth and sixth episodes were not yet finished. Was this a big gamble?
"Vice Director Liu suggested that you should seize the time to produce it quickly. At the latest, it should be provided to NTS after the broadcast of the first four episodes, of course, the sooner the better."
Ding Yue conveyed Vice Director Liu Mei’s requirements to Zhu Youzhao.
A moment later, Ding Yue added, "Oh yes, and if you are rushing the production, the quality of the finished product must not be compromised. The quality of each episode of ’A Bite of Xia Country’ must be maintained throughout the season, understand?"
This was the requirement for the School of Film and Television to turn around this time.
The time was a bit tight, but the quality could not be compromised.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youzhao quickly nodded his head and said, "Okay, okay, okay, Principal Ding, rest assured. When I go back, I will make sure to supervise the production team of the sixth episode to finish their work as quickly as possible and ensure the quality of the shooting. The quality of the post-production will also be guaranteed!"
When Zhu Youzhao said this, there was a look of determination in his eyes.
It could be said that he was putting the honor and disgrace of his position as director of the School of Film and Television, and the rise and fall of the School of Film and Television on a par.
If it really could turn around by airing ’A Bite of Xia Country’ on NTS, that would be naturally wonderful.
But if not, then he, as the director of the School of Film and Television, would inevitably be the butt of jokes from other institute directors.
In Mist City Arts and Science University, being considered important by the university and prioritized for development would definitely elevate the institute director’s status to some extent.
For example, Chen Ping from the School of Architecture, Bai Liwei from the Medical College; Jiang Xiuli from the Art Department, Jian Zihao from the E-sports College; and Cao Guowei from Mechanical Engineering and Liu Wei from Computer Science, etc.
Their status in Mist City Arts and Science University was clearly higher, and they almost became the frontline figures in Mist City Arts and Science University alongside several professors.
However, many institute directors who hadn’t brought honor and achievement to Mist City Arts and Science University were unknown and had very few opportunities for publicity.
Zhu Youzhao was on the verge of having the opportunity to join the ranks of frontline institute directors.
He absolutely mustn’t miss this!
"Alright then, after you go back, keep a close eye on it." Ding Yue nodded and then didn’t say much more to Zhu Youzhao.
He had said all he needed to say.
Now it remained to be seen if Zhu Youzhao could lead the team from the School of Film and Television to complete the job.
If they couldn’t, it would mean that the School of Film and Television had missed this opportunity, and who knew when such an opportunity would come again.
At least, if the School of Film and Television were not successful this time, Ding Yue would be more cautious before investing in the School of Film and Television in the future.
"Principal Ding, I’m going back now." Zhu Youzhao got up, ready to return to the School of Film and Television to keep a close eye on the production of the fifth episode and the filming of the sixth episode.
After Director Zhu Youzhao left, Ding Yue looked at Wen Ruohan, "Wen Ruohan, it’s your job to sign the exclusivity agreement for the broadcasting rights for ’A Bite of Xia Country’ with NTS."
"Sure, Principal Ding, I promise to complete the task!"
Wen Ruohan happily accepted the task assigned by Principal Ding.
Just as Ding Yue was about to praise Wen Ruohan, his phone suddenly rang. It was a voice message in the Whatsapp group created by the team that made Big White robots in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
For the team, Ding Yue had Tong Yihang create a Whatsapp group so they could easily communicate if needed.
Ding Yue immediately connected to the voice message.
"Principal Ding has connected the voice message."
"Has it been completed?"
"Principal Ding, we have finished making all eleven Big White robots. Do you have time to come and check?"
The voice of student Tong Yihang came over the voice message in the Whatsapp group.
It turned out that they had completed the manufacture of eleven Big White robots for the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Last time, after Wen Ruohan asked, they said they could finish it in this period of time.
The manufacturing efficiency of Tong Yihang’s team was quite high. This was earlier than Ding Yue had originally expected.
"Alright, in the Mechanical Engineering laboratory, right? I’ll be right there!" Ding Yue said, and then got up straight away with his phone in his hand.
"Principal Ding, where are you going?"
"To the Mechanical Engineering laboratory. They have already produced the eleven Big White robots we need."
Ding Yue explained to Wen Ruohan, and then headed for the door of the office.
Seeing this, Wen Ruohan hurriedly followed.
Over at the Mechanical Engineering building.
Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei had already called over Yang Jie and Teacher Li Shengbin.
