"I feel like my body has been hollowed out" continued to flood the screen!
"How is it, boss? Hahahahaha!"
"How is it, boss? Hahahahaha!"
"How is it, boss? Are you satisfied now?"
"I really have to pick up my dad!"
"Block him after you resign!"
"Who needs sleep? What a waste of time! "
"Who wants to eat? PPT is a vitamin! "
"Don't work overtime!"
"Don't work overtime!"
"Don't work overtime!"
On the Top Chinese Music Chart, "I Feel Like My Body Has Been Hollowed Out" had a strong performance. On the day of its broadcast, it was already in the top ten. Today, it even rushed to the second most watched position on the music chart. Its momentum was too strong, and this ranking was likely to be rewritten today. Even the latest songs performed by Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, Xiaodong, and the rest on the seventh episode did not rank as high as this song. This had truly shocked countless industry insiders!
One had to know that Zhang Ye's song did not do well at all.
During the ranking announcement segment of I Am a Singer last night, Chen Guang performed steadily and took first place, with Zhang Xia in second place and Xiaodong in third place. As for Zhang Ye, he only managed to get fifth place, which was considered to be from the bottom. However, this ranking was completely unrelated to the popularity of the song. A song that was ranked fifth on the show had crushed all the other songs. This was also something that had never happened on the stage of I Am a Singer before.
But the netizens were very happy.
"This song is too joyous."
"The lyrics are so down to earth!"
"This is the first time I've heard Zhang Ye write such a song!"
"My heart aches for Zhang Ye. He's really going to be emptied soon!"
"Capable people do more work."
"There's sadness in the humor. It's a good song, expressing the thoughts of people in the workplace!"
"I think Zhang Ye should have gotten first place!"
"Yeah, the audience is too weak. If it were me, I would vote for him."
"The main thing is that this song is too godly. It's not a song for competitions."
"Yeah, 'I Feel Drained' won't be able to get a good ranking on such a stage. It's already pretty good to get into fifth place. After all, Zhang Ye's popularity is still there. Otherwise, he might not even get into fifth place. At the end of the day, the stage of 'I Am a Singer' is all about singing skills and the depth of the song. Previously, be it Zhang Xia or Chen Guang, they have already instilled such thoughts into the audience, so don't expect such a song to get first place. But I still like this song the most! "
"Me too!"
"There's no need to say more about a good song!"
"Supporting Zhang Ye!"
"Sing well in the next episode, and you'll definitely get a good ranking."
"Right, if Zhang Ye gets serious, even Chen Guang and Zhang Xia will have to think twice about it!"
"Teacher Zhang, you can do it! I love you so much! "
The audience was very impressed and approved of it.
The media also commented on it.
"Zhang Ye's strong replacement!"
"The executive director takes on multiple roles to save the show!"
"Divine Melody Comes Out and Spreads Across the Nation!"
"Zhang Ye's spirit of humor!"
"Chen Guang takes first place!"
"Zhang Ye's ranking is not ideal. Will he face elimination in the next episode?"
"I Am a Singer's viewership ratings are at the top again!"
"I Am a Singer takes first place nationally with a viewership rating of 3.36%!"
"Zhang Ye's new program could hit 4% viewership ratings?"
"Sing!'s viewership ratings suddenly plummet!"
"Sing!'s latest viewership rating: 1.02%!"
"Central TV suffers heavy losses!"
"Sing!'s continued slump could drag down Central TV Department 1!"
"Confirmed with Beijing TV: I Am a Singer Finals will be broadcast live, and the ratings may really have a chance to reach the 4%" ceiling "!"
Newspapers, TV, countless news.
Meanwhile, the person in question had just woken up at home.
At home.
In his room.
The moment Zhang Ye opened his eyes, his entire body ached and his head felt very swollen. There was nothing he could do about it. He had not slept much for the past two days. He had to prepare the song, rehearse with the choir, record the show, sing, and count the votes. Did he think that he would be fine after recording the show? No, Zhang Ye had to personally handle the editing of the show after it was recorded. Along with other related work, he barely had a wink of sleep. He collapsed the moment he got home yesterday.
He was really dog-tired!
But he still had to take a look at the news and the audience's feedback.
Zhang Ye lay limp on his bed and started scrolling through the news on his cell phone. This song was a particularly famous song from Zhang Ye's previous world. It was performed by the Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Choir, "I Feel My Body Is Being Hollowed Out." This song was basically a chorus, but Zhang Ye made some changes to it due to the competition's requirements. He lightened the chorus and even made it a backing vocal, while he took on the role of the lead singer.
That's good then.
As long as you guys like it.
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile. At least his efforts were not in vain.
Di di.
Di di.
The chat app kept beeping.
Zhang Ye opened it and saw that someone had @ -ed him.
In the Goof Group.
Ning Lan invited Zhang Xia into the group.
Zhang Xia: "Hello, everyone?"
Xiaodong: "Hello, Grandma Zhang."
Amy: "A warm welcome to Grandma Zhang!"
Everyone came out.
Zhang Xia: "@ ZhangYe, where is he?"
Chen Guang: "Haha, I think he's exhausted."
Zhang Xia: "Little Zhang, you've worked hard."
Ning Lan: "Zhang Ye's song made me laugh so hard that I almost choked!"
Huo Dongfang: "I also burst into laughter yesterday. @ ZhangYe."
Director Li Ke: "Director Zhang is so funny!"
Fan Wenli: "Old Chen and the others are probably under a lot of pressure right now. It's really a nightmare for Director Zhang to replace him."
Chen Guang: "Haha, I'm not afraid of him. At most, I'll just have to face him head-on."
Xiaodong: "Although I don't wish to face him, I'm really looking forward to having a face-to-face duel with Director Zhang."
Zhang Xia: "He didn't sing well this episode, so his ranking wasn't very good. It's hard to say for the next episode."
When Zhang Ye saw this, he did not appear. He just smiled to himself.
Sing well?
He shook his head slightly.
There were some things that he would not say.
After some thought, Zhang Ye gave Wu Zeqing a call. As he had been too busy over the past two days, he did not have the time to tell Old Wu about what had happened here.
Du du.
The call connected.
"Old Wu, what are you doing?"
"Hur hur, I'm at the office."
"Did you watch the show?"
"I did. He sang very well, and I quite liked it."
"As long as you like it. Have you been busy these past two days?"
"A little."
"Whoa, when I asked you in the past if you were busy, you always said it was alright. Now that you've said a little, does that mean you're especially busy?"
"Yes, there's something I need to do right now."
"What is it? Do you need my help? "
"No need, I'll handle it."
"Does it have something to do with me?"
"You'll find out in a few days."
"In a few days? Alright, that's pretty mysterious. "
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the line.
It sounded like it was Secretary Bai. "Chief Wu, they've struck back!"
Strike back?
What strike back?
What had happened?
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "Old Wu, what's the matter?"
Wu Zeqing said gently: "It's nothing, I'll go and handle it. I'll hang up first. Oh yes, my parents want to invite you over for dinner when they're free. Don't forget."
Zhang Ye: "OK, I won't forget."
The call ended.
Zhang Ye's thoughts ran wild for a long time, but he still could not make heads or tails of it. Old Wu's position was too high, and her matters were not something that Zhang Ye could interfere with. With Zhang Ye's common sense, he did not understand the political issues, so he decided not to think too much about it. He believed that Old Wu would handle it well.
Wu Zeqing had never made him worry before.
Besides, she did not need him to worry about her either.
The door opened.
His parents might have heard him talking on the phone from outside.
His mother pushed the door open and entered the room. "Yo, you're awake?"
Zhang Ye got out of bed and clutched his stomach. "I'm starving. Give me some food."
"Sure, I'll make it for you." His mother knew how hard it had been on him these past few days, so she did not argue with him. She quickly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Then his phone rang.
It was Hu Fei.
Zhang Ye said helplessly: "Brother Hu?"
"Director Zhang, I've got to work overtime!"
"… You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"I'm really working overtime. The online broadcast rights have been sold, but the previous episodes that were recorded were reported by someone again. The higher-ups have informed us that the first six episodes that Xiaodong is hosting have to be edited or deleted. So you have to come back quickly. If it really doesn't work out, you'll have to make up for six more episodes."
Zhang Ye's face darkened. "Even the online broadcast rights won't work?"
"Yeah." Hu Fei said, "Central TV is too ruthless!"
Fuck!
Are they trying to stir up trouble?
Zhang Ye immediately said, "I'll go back immediately! I definitely can't delete the videos. The online broadcast rights were sold for hundreds of millions of RMB, so I can't let the online video hosting site suffer such a huge loss. If it doesn't work out, I'll record them one episode at a time and edit them to upload. Just wait for me. "
"OK!" After Hu Fei said that, he was silent for a while. Then he suddenly said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile. "I have to serve the people."
He walked out of the living room.
His mother was already at work.
Zhang Ye called out, "Mom."
His mother said, "The food will be ready soon."
"I'm not eating. There's an urgent matter at work, so I have to leave immediately," Zhang Ye said.
His father frowned and said, "Let's talk after dinner."
Zhang Ye was already getting dressed. "I won't make it in time. It's an urgent matter. Oh yes, I might not be able to come back for the next two nights. There's a lot of work to do, so I'll be going now!"
Bang.
The door closed.
His son had already disappeared.
His parents were left looking at each other, their hearts aching for him.
In the past, before their son became famous, they had always hoped that their son would become famous, earn money, and stand out. When their son really became a celebrity, they were really happy and happy for him. As parents, they were also very proud of their son and felt very well off. But as Zhang Ye got busier and busier with work, to the point where he had to risk his life and not sleep for two days and two nights became a common occurrence, they suddenly felt a little sad. "I Feel Like My Body Has Been Hollowed Out" had touched them a lot. It was a very funny song, but when they listened to it for the second and third time, their eyes turned red. No one knew what Zhang Ye had sacrificed for this, only his parents knew!
He had never cooked before.
He rarely did housework.
He did not have time to accompany his family.
He could not even spend time with his fiancée every day.
He might have let down his parents, his girlfriend, his friends, and many, many people, but his parents knew that their son had never let down the audience. He could not sleep, he could work overtime every day, he could go to the police station, and he could give up everything just to make the audience laugh!
This was their son.
Sometimes, he was very infuriating!
Sometimes, they wanted to beat him up!
Sometimes, their hearts ached for him!
Sometimes, they were very proud of him!
