A few days later.
Zhang Ye finally had some free time.
The news couldn't possibly revolve around him every day. After a few days of hype, the media went back to what they were supposed to be doing. This was also because something even more important was about to happen!
— The Beijing Olympics!
— There was still more than half a month until the opening ceremony!
This was the biggest event in China in recent times. In the past few days, the media had been reporting about it. For example, who would be invited for the opening ceremony, the lineup of the Chinese Olympic delegation, or if a certain sports star would be injured and would not be able to participate in the competition. The atmosphere had long since been hyped up. Although there was still some time before the opening ceremony, walking along the streets and alleys, one could clearly feel that there were more and more foreigners, both black and white.
In the entire country, Zhang Ye was perhaps the last person to know about this news. This fellow only found out about it when he happened to catch a glimpse of the news this morning!
Zhang Ye had an exaggerated expression on his face. "The Beijing Olympics?"
His father looked at him. "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ye wiped his sweat away. "It's going to be held in Beijing this year?"
"Yeah!" His mother said, "Didn't we already win the bid many years ago?"
Zhang Ye acknowledged. Only then did he remember that this was no longer the world he came from. A lot of things had changed, such as the bid for the Olympics and when it would be held. In his previous world, the bid for the Beijing Olympics had already been successfully held a long time ago.
His mother said, "By the way, don't you have a classmate working at Central TV Sports?"
"Yeah, Yu Yingyi," Zhang Ye said.
His mother smiled and said, "Get a few more tickets when you get back."
Zhang Ye said, "Let me ask. Do you want to watch?"
His mother said, "Of course I have to. It wasn't easy for us to win the bid for the Olympics. Now that it's at our doorstep, shouldn't we go and support it? Aren't you going to watch it? "
Zhang Ye threw up his hands. "Why should I watch it? It's not like you don't know about my relationship with the sporting world."
His mother smacked her lips and said, "That's true. Which profession have you not offended before?"
After the table tennis interview incident and the subsequent "no prostitution, gambling, and table tennis" skit and scolding war, Zhang Ye and the sporting world could be said to be in a heated battle. Many of the sporting world's leaders, coaches, and athletes hated Zhang Ye to the core. This was something that everyone knew about.
Zhang Ye sat on the sofa and watched the news for a while. He looked at the famous athletes of this world and then stopped paying attention to them. He did not know many of them anyway. Right now, he was thinking about what he should do next. His popularity had soared too quickly recently. He was first at the top of the domestic A-list rankings, and now he had charged into the Asian C-list rankings. This had caught Zhang Ye off guard, but he still had to take things one step at a time. This bit of achievement was nothing compared to his goal. There was still a long way to go, and he was still far from becoming an international celebrity.
What should he do next?
Which direction should it develop in?
Zhang Ye was still undecided, so after breakfast, he drove over to Rao Aimin's place. He wanted to ask Old Rao if she had any recent projects to contact him about.
Old Rao's house.
The moment Zhang Ye entered the door, he was met with a barrage of attacks!
Rao Aimin pointed at him and said, "Let me tell you, kid, I'm not going to be an agent anymore. You can find someone else if you want. Do you want to tire me out every day? Do you have nothing better to do at home? I even have to answer your call when I go to the toilet! Are you going to die or not? "
Chenchen walked out. "Zhang Ye, my aunt is angry at you."
Zhang Ye said nervously, "What happened?"
Rao Aimin threw her cell phone to him. "Take a look at how many calls I've received in the past few days."
Zhang Ye took a look and saw that it was indeed quite a lot. There were more than 120 calls. He quickly smiled and said, "Big Sis Rao, I know it's been hard on you. I'm just here to comfort you. Here, Brain Gold, eat more." He placed it on the coffee table and asked, "Oh yes, is there any work suitable for me recently?"
Rao Aimin said, "There is."
Zhang Ye's eyes lit up. "What kind of work?"
Rao Aimin pointed to the toilet. "The toilet is broken, so help me fix it!"
Zhang Ye was speechless.
At this moment, Yang Shu pulled open the bathroom door. "Eh, Senior Bro, you're here?" She wiped her hands and said, "Master Rao, the toilet has been fixed."
Chenchen gave a thumbs up. "Old Yang, well done."
Rao Aimin said, "Look at Little Yang! And look at yourself! Other than bragging to the media reporters all day, what else can you do? With all the commotion you've caused, who's going to take responsibility for you every day? Wouldn't they have to call me to come over? You're quite idle, sending out my number to everyone you see! "
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Aren't you my agent?"
"You better find someone better, hurry up," Rao Aimin said.
Zhang Ye said, "Just work hard, work hard."
Yang Shu immediately said, "Yeah, Master Rao, it's not easy for my Senior Bro either. Please help him out." Yang Shu was always on his side no matter what.
Rao Aimin exclaimed, "So you think it's easy for me?"
Zhang Ye said, "About that, I'll give you a higher commission."
Rao Aimin chuckled and said, "Have you ever taken on a commercial appearance before? How much money do you earn in a year? Take a cut from you? Then I'd have starved to death 800 times over! "
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile and said, "If you quit, where am I going to find an agent? I don't know many people, and I don't trust anyone else either. "
Rao Aimin said, "In any case, I'm already too busy!"
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
It was Ha Qiqi.
"Director Zhang!"
"Ai, Sister Ha."
"Where are you right now?"
"I'm at a friend's house. What's the matter?"
"Everyone's quitting. They're coming over to you."
"Ah?"
"Are you going to take them in?"
"What's going on? Come over first! "
20 minutes later, a group of people gradually arrived at Rao Aimin's house.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, Little Wang, Wu Yi, Tong Fu, and the others were all from Zhang Ye's old team. The oldest of them had worked with him on The Voice, while the more recent ones were his old colleagues who had worked on A Bite of China and Air Pollution Survey with him — this was the number one team in the TV show industry!
Zhang Ye wondered, "Why did they quit?"
Zhang Zuo immediately said, "My contract with Old Ha had expired, but we did not renew it and left on our own. Little Wang was fired because of a small matter. The higher-ups skipped Director Yan and fired her instead."
Little Wang said angrily, "I only retorted that it was someone from Central TV Department 1!"
Wu Yi said, "I resigned out of anger!"
Zhang Ye looked at the others.
Tong Fu said, "Everyone has left, so I'm leaving too."
Little He said, "It's still more comfortable working with Director Zhang. I'm quitting too!"
"Director Zhang, we'll all listen to you!"
"Right, we'll all listen to Director Zhang!"
"We can't work there anymore! We were all on your previous team, so the higher-ups always find us an eyesore! They keep making things difficult for us and give us bad looks. Who can stand that! "
Everyone started complaining!
Zhang Ye said in a speechless manner, "You guys are the number one team in the industry, yet they're letting you go just like that?"
Ha Qiqi said bitterly, "Director Zhang, actually, even if we're the number one team in the industry, not many people would recognize us. To put it bluntly, without you around, how could we be called the number one team?"
Zhang Ye waved it off. "Have a seat first. Let's talk after that."
Chenchen waved at them. "Old Ha, Old Zhang, Old Wu."
Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "Isn't this the little leader?"
Little Wang beamed. "Ah, Chenchen, you've grown taller!"
Chenchen acknowledged, "It's not too bad."
Zhang Ye introduced them to everyone. "Some of you have met her before and some of you haven't. This is Rao Aimin, my agent. This is Yang Shu, my bodyguard." Then he introduced Ha Qiqi and the others to Rao Aimin and Yang Shu. "When you were gone for half a year, I couldn't take care of the kids while filming the show, so I brought Chenchen over to Central TV. Usually, everyone helps take care of the kids and treats Chenchen quite well."
Rao Aimin nodded and said calmly, "Don't leave for lunch. I'll cook."
Ha Qiqi hurriedly said, "Sister Rao, there's no need to trouble yourself."
But Zhang Ye said, "Don't stand on ceremony with her. Old Rao's cooking is really good, so we'll regret it if we don't try her."
"Us? Did I ask you to stay for lunch? "Rao Aimin said.
Zhang Ye pretended not to hear her and asked Tong Fu, "How's Huang Dandan's surgery?"
Tong Fu smiled and said, "She's recovering pretty well. She was even saying that she wanted to come over to Director Zhang's side, but I stopped her."
Zhang Ye said, "That's good then. Take care of yourself and don't let her work for now."
Little Wang said energetically, "Director Zhang, let's do something big again!"
"Whoa." Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Are you trying to rob a bank?"
Little Wang coughed and said, "We can do something small too. We've all lost our jobs anyway. If you don't care about us, we won't have anywhere to go."
Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "Didn't I say this before? In the future, if you guys run out of ideas, you can come and look for me. We can come up with a plan again. I can't wait for all of you to come over. It's not easy to find a team like us who know each other so well. Central TV must be blind if they don't use you guys. Let me count, one, two, three, four, five … a total of 13 people.
Good, you're all here. "Ha Qiqi smiled and said," Basically everyone from the old team is here. "
Tong Fu raised his hand. "There's also someone from the new team."
Zhang Ye decided, "Alright, I'll take them on no matter how many come!"
Ha Qiqi asked, "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Zuo said, "Yeah, what should we do?"
They all knew Zhang Ye's character all too well. After such a long period of interaction, they had already established a very deep friendship and trust in each other. This was not something that could be compared to purely based on mutual benefits. So when they left the Central TV Documentary Channel, the first thing they did was look for Zhang Ye. It wasn't that they had nowhere else to go, as there were too many people in the industry trying to poach them, but that they were still willing to work together with Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye was also quite happy that the old team that once dominated the variety industry was reunited. When he thought of Rao Aimin's complaints about how busy she was, Zhang Ye suddenly had an idea. It was an idea that he might have had since a long time ago!
Zhang Ye said something astonishing, "Let's set up a studio!"
Ha Qiqi was taken aback. "A studio?"
Zhang Zuo said in surprise, "Aiyo, that sounds good!"
"Yeah, all the A-list celebrities have their own studios!" Wu Yi said.
Little Wang clapped and said, "I'm in!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
"Haha, me too!"
"We'll follow Director Zhang! There'll be meat to eat! "
"A studio would be great!"
"I've been waiting for this day!"
