"Li Birthday Talk Show Work Manual" is a lifeless workplace, flexible and practical manual

Li Zhiqiren:

In 2012, he entered the talk show "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show" to write a paragraph and became a resident performer; in 2014, he founded Shanghai Xiaoguo Culture Media Co., Ltd.; in 2017, he served as a member, planner and screenwriter of the SpitTing Group of Tencent Video Comedy Talk Show "Spit Conference Season 1", and in the same year won the "China Variety Summit Ingenuity Ceremony" Annual Creative Newcomer Award, which became a hit; in 2019, he participated in the broadcast of iQiyi's Talking Talent Show "Strange Story Season 6" as a mentor In 2021, he participated in the show "Strange Story Season Seven". It can be seen from this that Li Tiankai's life began with the writing of paragraphs at the most basic level.

His Xiaoguo Culture Media Co., Ltd. is well-run, but he himself has always said that this is a big but weak company, because in China, this is a new industry, there is no "lesson from the past", "we are not like a company, like an interest group, the way of communication is not relying on the process, but talking about feelings", for such a thing from scratch, all with a group of seemingly hip-hop people insist on doing something together.

He started from the talk show screenwriter, online and offline, in front of and behind the stage, what should not be done, as long as the work related to the talk show, he has almost all done. He is a first-hand witness to the development and growth of the talk show industry, and he is also a promoter, based on which he wrote the "Li Birthday Talk Show Work Manual". In this book, Li Shi unreservedly shared his creative experience since he was in the industry, and he also carefully answered the confusion and problems encountered by creative workers in the process of creation and work. This is a work manual written by Li Shi to all creative workers, in his own words, creativity is intellectual work, but also physical work, in the final analysis is hard work. But talk shows aside, I sniffed the workplace from this book, and many of the ideas and practices in the manual apply to many industries.

Although Li Shi himself is very disdainful and says golden sentences, many of the remarks in this book are incisive and in place, and the language in one sentence is witty and humorous, seemingly simple and easy to understand, but it contains great truth, and it is worthy of being a person who engages in word games, and the use of language is easy to use. Each Chinese character is very ordinary, but different permutations and combinations give the language different colors, different lives and different meanings.

Is work a must?

be!

"The essence of work is to trade, we are using our time and talents, through a company, to exchange money with the market."

In this respect, work is an equivalent exchange, in which we sell our time and energy in exchange for the money we depend on for our survival. People's instincts are lazy, if you can lie flat at home, who wants to go out and be a social animal all day to deal with leaders and colleagues?

In the unit, the miscellaneous things and various interpersonal relationships make people anxious, and when they go home, they may have to face the life of chickens and dogs. Many people will think that if they do not go to work, will they have more energy to tutor their children to learn, run their own small days, and life should not be such a chicken feather. Mr. Yang Dai once said: "The quiet years are a moment, a place of chicken feathers is daily life, looking at the scenery in the distance, and looking at the near is life." So, the beautiful picture you envision of abandoning your job and running your own life is only a vision, and there will inevitably be a chicken feather in the period.

What does work give you? In addition to the material necessities, it also gives you a normal state of life, we have to get up on time because of work; we also have to go to bed on time, or because of work. You are like a kite in the air, if you want to sway in the air steadily, you can't do without the invisible line of work. You can be free for a while occasionally, but you don't dare to break free of the shackles of the line, you need the line to help you get back to normal, otherwise you may fall very badly. So the work is a must.

Even freelancing is a job, even a full-time housewife or housewife, it is also a job, and it is also a work that exchanges the labor they have paid for a certain material value. For many people engaged in freelance work, Li Shi's advice is "Don't feel aggrieved because you are engaged in a profession that no one has forced you to do, and inexplicably proud and ignored." Indeed, you want both face and inside, where is there such a good thing? For freelancers, self-discipline is an invisible thread. Haruki Murakami gets up at 4 o'clock every day, writes for 5 hours, runs for 1 hour in the afternoon or swims for 1.5 hours, reads, listens to music, goes to bed at 9 p.m., for more than 30 years, and has never changed. It is precisely because of this regular life, extreme self-discipline, that he has become a prolific and high-quality writer.

The Eternal Conundrum: Can Work and Life Exist Independently?

At a laughing fruit training camp, a trainee asked Li Shi, "How do you handle work and life?" Li Shi was very shocked at that time, how could a person who had not yet worked, have begun to think about this kind of problem that he has not thought about for so many years? He hadn't thought about this problem for so many years, because Li Shi was engaged in creation and was a person who worked with words. "Creation is a job that mobilizes all your life. A job that even if everything is mobilized, it is often impossible to create." Creation comes from life, and without life, creation is exhausted.

However, for our ordinary people who are immersed in the workplace, this seems to be an eternal problem, both want to work to bring me dignity and dignity, but also do not want to let work disrupt the normal order of life, it is difficult to balance, it is difficult to balance, and there is no way to choose, because I am afraid that once I choose, I will lose sight of one or the other. I like a quote from Li Shi, please remember fiercely: this is just a job.

Yes, it's just a job, an indispensable part of your life or a necessary part of your life, like life, and it's a part of your life. Since work is an indispensable element of our lives, without it life is incomplete, then when we suddenly receive a work call in life, we can stop the complaint in time, stop the loss in time, enjoy life at work, enjoy work in life, you have me, I have you. Looking at things from the perspective of development, this is a job that cannot be separated from everything you have.

What is the point of work?

The meaning of work is to become a better self, which is also the purpose of life. Based on this, you have to make yourself professional first.

"Keep professional, always be professional, so that the people who come into contact with you will not look down on you and are willing to trust you." Fall in love with a guest as much as you would a character. Always remember that you are professional and fall in love with him, not to love him, but to love your own profession. Not to speak of him, nor to be worthy of him, but to be worthy of one's profession" Although this is an exhortation to the stand-up comedy staff, this exhortation also applies to our other jobs.

If you want to have some performance in your work, a little improvement, not to be looked down upon by colleagues, not to be excluded by peers, how can you do without two brushes? Professional, this is a very professional term, not afraid of you miscellaneous, afraid of you specialized. Dig deep in your own field, dig deep and study deeply, let yourself become professional, become specialized, become a certain authority, who dares to despise yourself in your work? Falling in love with this job is not to love him, but to love his profession, to love his own struggle, to love his own efforts day and night in order to become professional. Meditation often thinks about oneself, and gossips about others. Not to gossip about the rights and wrongs of colleagues, not to be worthy of him, but to be worthy of their own qualities, worthy of their conscience, and worthy of their profession.

Can emotions also be used as weapons?

"When you are a child, when people are soft-spoken, then you have nothing, only tears and anger, but you must know that emotions are weapons, be careful that it hurts yourself, and quit this weapon as soon as possible." 」

Leaders are also human beings, with seven passions and six desires, and there is no lack of compassion and empathy. Cry once in a while, catharsis once, the leader may be a little more tolerant and considerate. But please recognize the fact that the leader is the leader, the leader is not your mother, will not tolerate you like your mother, regardless of the previous accusations. Again and again in front of the leader by crying to show weakness, to vent, or to cry at the age of 30. You are no longer a newcomer to the workplace, and the leader will think, is there a problem with your work ability, or is there a problem with your character, why is your work difficult to carry out? The first thing for leaders to consider is the interests of the company, and whether your personal value can bring certain value to the company. Therefore, we still have to make ourselves professional, strong, and irreplaceable.

Man's biggest opponent is often not others, but their own laziness. Li Shi said: "Life is not a few cards, if you win, you win, life is a card game, you can't scatter if you want to, and winning or losing is not one or two." Shi Yue, the author of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty", once said: "People who are more talented than me do not work hard without me." People who work harder than me, no one is talented. People who are both more talented than me and work harder than me, there is no one I can survive."

Therefore, there is no miracle in this world, only unknown efforts. Life is long, work is a must, set the right position, adjust the mentality, work hard, live happily, and live well in this life.
