On this day.
Central TV Department 1.
Sing!'s program team started work early in the morning.
Department 1's Deputy Director Jiang Yuan came over to inspect the work. This was already the tenth time he had come to Sing!'s program team in the past few days. If it were any other normal show, the leaders would usually just ask about the beginning of the show and make the final decision. The rest of the work would be handled by the program team's executive director and staff, so it was impossible for the leaders to come here every day. But Sing! was clearly different. Central TV Department 1 was placing too much importance on it, and so were the leaders. It was an attitude and determination that they could not afford to lose. This was because this was the biggest variety project that Central TV Department 1 had launched this year, so they had to produce results and sweep the variety industry aside. This was a strict order from the higher-ups, and Central TV Department 1 had also issued a military pledge!
"Leader!"
"Director Jiang."
"Director Jiang, good morning."
Jiang Yuan walked in with his hands behind his back.
The staff of the program team all stood up to greet him.
"Good morning, how is it?"
"Everything went well."
"Fan Wenli has been taken down?"
"The contract has already been signed. Take it!"
"Good, very good."
"It's just that Chen Guang and Zhang Xia won't be able to make it. As for Sister Zhang, we just got in touch with her manager, Fang Weihong. Sister Zhang is also not available."
"Having an old coach from the first season of The Voice to hold the fort is already enough. What about the publicity work? Have you spread them out? "
"It has already started."
"The public's reaction?"
"The people are looking forward to it, and the number of discussions is very high. In just a few days, the number of topics on Weibo has reached more than 200,000, which is unprecedented!"
"Hehe, not bad. Everyone, you've worked hard. As long as we can get first place in the nationwide viewership ratings, I'll personally report to the higher-ups for you!"
"Thank you, Director Jiang."
"I promise to complete the mission!"
"In the current variety market, we have no competition at all!"
"Yes, the latest variety shows from Shanghai Television and Hunan Television do not have the ability to compete with us. After all, The Voice was too famous back then and has been suppressed for a year now, so the old viewers are all looking forward to it. As long as the show starts broadcasting, we have reason to believe that the old viewers from back then will return to watch it. There will even be new viewers joining in as well. Based on past experience, Sing!'s viewership ratings should be even better than the first season of The Voice!"
Everyone was very relaxed, chatting and laughing without any pressure.
Why?
Because there was no opponent!
He didn't have a single opponent!
In the industry, in the entire satellite television industry, and in the entire variety industry, there were very few variety shows that were as popular as The Voice. Even if they were filmed with their eyes closed and even if they changed the name of the show, there would still be a lot of viewers. They would all be sitting in front of their televisions waiting for the show to air. This was the charm of a signature show. This was the eruption of accumulated popularity. Across the entire country, there was no one who could stop them! Unless another phenomenal singing variety show suddenly appeared in the industry at this time. But it was obvious that it was impossible. King of Masked Singers had only ended a few months ago, so it was impossible for them to have a second season so soon. Under such circumstances, it would be rather lonely to not have a rival.
At this moment, everyone in the production team was humming a song in their hearts.
Being invincible is so, so lonely!
Invincibility is so, so empty!
The current executive director of Sing! was also beaming with joy and in high spirits.
But when they remembered that "Invincible" was written by Zhang Ye, they felt a little unlucky and did not dare to sing blindly. The name "Zhang Ye" was a taboo in Central TV Department 1. No one dared to mention his name in front of the leaders for no reason. This was because he was Central TV Department 1's biggest enemy and a sore spot that they could never erase from their hearts.
Everyone discussed the follow-up production of the show.
For example, there were still two vacancies for the guest coaches.
Everything was progressing smoothly. They could almost see the scene of Sing! sweeping the entire country. But at this moment, a staff member rushed in with a flustered look on his face!
"Something's happened! Something's happened! "
"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious? "
"What happened?"
"Aren't you in charge of inviting the guest coaches? Why aren't they coming? "
"If they're not coming, then so be it. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Everyone looked at that staff member, not understanding what was going on.
The guest coaches were not invited?
Then they should have just replaced them. There were so many people in the music industry, and with their reputation and the price they offered, not many people could reject them. Why would they need to worry about not having any heavyweight guest coaches joining them?
But for some reason, that staff member was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Then, under the impatient gaze of the program team, he brought them an earth-shattering piece of news!
That staff member said in a panic, "I just received news from a big name in the music industry. Other than us, another television station has also invited him!"
Jiang Yuan said in amusement, "There's still someone who dares to make a singing variety show at this time?"
The program team's executive director also smiled. "Who would be so bold as to do that? To compete with us? "
That staff member wiped his sweat and said, "It's Beijing Television!"
The assistant director was taken aback. "Them?"
Another assistant director said, "So what? Is it worth making such a fuss over? "
But what that staff member said next gave everyone a fright!
He swallowed his saliva with a long face and said, "It's Zhang Ye's new show. It has already landed at Beijing Television! It's going to be broadcast at the same time as ours! "
"What?"
"Say that again?"
"Zhang Ye is going to make another singing show?"
"Broadcast at the same time?"
Jiang Yuan's expression changed!
The executive director was dumbfounded!
Several of the assistant directors looked shocked and angry!
At this moment, the entire Sing! program team fell silent out of fear!
The next moment, the news spread throughout Central TV!
...
Central TV Department 1.
"What?"
"Zhang Ye is making a comeback?"
"Holy shit! Holy shit! "
"Has he gone mad? He's going to go head-to-head with Sing!? "
"Oh my God! That madman! "
"This is bad! This is bad! "
"There's still no rival? Now that the rival has arrived, what the heck! "
"Is this for real? Didn't Zhang Ye go to win an award? Wasn't he supposed to be in the Chinese textbooks? Wasn't he supposed to be writing a novel? Why has this demon king returned to the variety world? "
"He's doing it on purpose! He's definitely doing it on purpose! "

Yu Yingyi and her colleagues were also dumbfounded!
"Fuck, I have a bad feeling about this!"
"Me too, why do I feel like Department 1 is going to be disbanded soon!"
"Zhang Ye is back?"
"Pfft!"
"Teacher Yu, what are you laughing at?"
"Did I laugh?"
"You did."
"Alright then, I was just amused by this old classmate of mine!"

Central TV Documentary Channel.
Zhang Ye's former colleagues didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"There's going to be a good show at Central TV Department 1!"
"They're too cocky! This is great! "
"With Director Zhang's return, let's see what they can do!"
"I even met an assistant director from a new program team at Central TV Department 1 yesterday. When I think of how arrogant he was without a rival, I feel like laughing right now!"
"Me too, hahahahaha!"
"Well done, Director Zhang!"
"Beautifully done!"
"The people at Central TV Department 1 must be green in the face!"
"How could they not be green! Who wouldn't be a cuckold when they meet Zhang Ye! "
