Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Recording a TV Show

When Director Huo received Shen Guofeng’s call and heard he was willing to attend the summit, he was deeply honored.

Professor Shen’s attendance elevated the summit, raising its prestige and professional standing to a whole new level.

Soon, Jiang Ming, who was handling the invitations, also received the news. He was both surprised and delighted to hear that Professor Shen would be attending.

’Wu Ting is really something else. To get such a major figure to grace the Fan City Medical Summit... its influence will be on a completely different level now.’

With the boost from Professor Shen’s involvement, Jiang Ming felt a new sense of confidence as he invited other experts from Fan City.

...

...

While Jiang Ming, Wu Ting, and Qin Donglai were working at full tilt to help Director Huo prepare for the Fan City Medical Summit, Fan City TV began recording its next episode.

The guest for the second episode was Ao Wei, the deputy director of pediatrics at Fan City’s National Hospital. Her topic was ”Preventing and Treating Pediatric Diarrhea: Regulating the Spleen and Stomach with Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

Pediatric diarrhea and digestive health were concerns for every family, making it a highly relevant and talked-about topic.

Director Ao likewise received the full support of the National Hospital, including free clinics, research funding for her topic, and both online and offline promotions. It all demonstrated the influence of *Path to Health* and the significant boost it gave to the guest speaker’s career and professional reputation.

The Burn and Plastic Surgery Department at City First Hospital was already reaping the benefits of Lu Yu’s appearance on the show. The department’s revenue, reputation, and influence had all seen a significant increase.

After the success of the first episode, the doctors scheduled for subsequent shows became increasingly eager and awaited their recording notifications.

After Director Huo submitted Wu Ting’s topic to the station, Director Cai immediately began arranging the preparations and filming for Wu Ting’s episode.

The production team notified Wu Ting to come to the station that Saturday to record the third episode.

Wu Ting had been mentally preparing for this, but hearing the news for himself still made him a little nervous and excited.

’I’m going to be on TV!’

The entire department was incredibly busy that week. In addition to preparing for the summit, Wu Ting led Jiang Ming and the others in completing multiple Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomies.

After dozens of procedures, every single one was a complete success.

During this process, with Wu Ting holding nothing back in his teachings, Jiang Ming became the first to master the surgical technique and could begin leading a team to perform it independently.

Song Qi and Qin Donglai still needed more practice, but overall, they were getting close.

After all, a laparoscopic appendectomy was a relatively simple procedure. It was just that Wu Ting’s surgical technique was conceptually novel and operated very differently, requiring some time to practice.

As long as one mastered the use of the Wu’s Umbilical Knife and the final cosmetic suturing, the surgery could be performed successfully.

With just a little more practice, the entire Emergency Surgery department would be able to formally offer this signature surgical technique to the public on a large scale.

Bright and early on Saturday morning, Wu Ting arrived at Fan City TV.

Two familiar faces, Director Cai and Zhu Zhu, were there to greet him personally.

Director Cai led Wu Ting to the studio, said a few words to the staff to make sure he was taken care of, and then departed.

This was Fan City TV’s most important recent program, so the host was the station’s star, Dong Yiren—a beautiful woman with a dignified, elegant appearance and a powerful presence.

Thanks to Director Cai’s instructions, the entire production crew, including the host, treated Wu Ting exceptionally well.

The entire show followed a set procedure and included a rehearsal beforehand. Zhu Zhu was responsible for guiding Wu Ting through every step.

The main content was an introduction to Wu Ting’s brand-new Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy, along with a presentation of relevant medical cases he had handled.

The pre-written script also included an interview segment with the host and interactive portions with Wu Ting.

Wu Ting was already handsome, but with the production team’s makeup and lighting, combined with the professional air of his doctor persona, he held his own even when standing next to Dong Yiren.

After a relaxed and pleasant recording session, all that was left was for post-production to edit in the medical case photos and videos. Wu Ting just needed to provide the necessary materials.

”Dr. Wu, thank you for coming. You did a wonderful job—so relaxed, humorous, and charming. You have a very warm and approachable presence. I’m sure you’ll gain a ton of fans once your episode airs!”

Dong Yiren shook Wu Ting’s hand warmly, clearly impressed with him.

If she hadn’t known he was a medical expert, she’d have thought he could have a career as a pop idol trainee.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for your interaction with Dong Yiren and completing the recording of a show. You have obtained a new entry from Dong Yiren: Audience Affinity (Yellow). Minor fame can be bought, but major stardom is destined. Dong Yiren’s Audience Affinity allows her to naturally earn the warmth and affection of viewers.]

’I can’t believe I unlocked such an interesting entry just by recording a TV show,’ Wu Ting thought.

’Still, for a doctor, having natural charisma and public appeal is definitely a good thing.’

After Wu Ting’s segment was filmed, the project moved into post-production.

The production team was very satisfied with Wu Ting’s performance, but they felt something was off about the episode. Specifically, the presentation of his surgical technique and the accompanying case photos and videos looked *too* perfect.

It might give viewers the wrong impression about appendectomies.

For those unfamiliar with the procedure, it also lacked a point of comparison.

The production team came up with a solution: they would add a foil to the episode.

It would be like a scientific experiment, with a control group and an experimental group.

They would bring in a team that performs traditional laparoscopic appendectomies to highlight the advanced, cosmetic, and clinically significant aspects of Wu Ting’s team’s work.

The team remembered that among the submissions they’d received, there was one from the General Surgery Department of City Second Hospital.

”Let’s go with Director Yao’s team. We’ll invite Director Yao over for a recorded interview as well. Then, we’ll ask him for some videos and photos of his cases to create a comparison with Wu Ting’s team.”

”That will make it clear and intuitive! It’ll also add more depth to the episode and create a real ’wow’ factor for the audience!”

”I think Director Zhang’s suggestion is excellent. Besides, Director Yao and Dr. Wu have clashed before on social media and in public discussions.”

”It’s highly topical and controversial, which will be a huge publicity hook for our show!”

”It’s a good idea, but... won’t it be a bit too brutal for Director Yao’s team when they see the final cut?” a staff member voiced a slight concern.

”No, this is just a normal academic exchange. Let’s see what they’re made of.”

”Exactly. The public has discerning eyes. This is the perfect opportunity for Dr. Wu and Dr. Yao to face off on the show.”

...

After some discussion, the production team made a last-minute decision to expand Director Yao’s role in the episode.

The production team immediately contacted Director Yao Shi, inviting him to come in for a recording on Sunday.
