4 PM.
Two hours after the program was broadcasted, the response and comments on the internet became more and more heated. Discussions and praises constantly flooded in. Some areas outside of Beijing, such as Beihe Province or the three northeastern provinces, did not have access to BTV-Arts Channel, but many people were curious about it. Led by the popularity of the program, they went online to search for video resources and watched the first episode of "Lecture Room" on video websites.
The program was popular!
Furthermore, it was genuinely popular!
Not long after, a few people popped their heads out of the door of Hu Fei's program team. A woman in her thirties and two youths looked inside, "Excuse me, is this the program team of 'Lecture Room'?"
Xiao Lu was the closest and answered, "Yes, who are you looking for?"
The woman said, "It's like this. We are from BTV-Sport upstairs. We are all colleagues. I would like to ask if there are any live tickets for today's recording of 'Lecture Room'?"
Xiao Lu looked at Hu Fei, "Leader?"
"Yes, other than the ones we gave out, we still have about 50 tickets with us." Hu Fei pulled out a drawer and generously gave the tickets to Xiao Lu, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Just give us whatever you want. Hur Hur."
Xiao Lu gave them 3 tickets.
The woman said, "Thank you. If there's a match, as long as it's related to sports, we will be able to get some tickets. Just look for me."
Xiao Lu smiled, "It's fine. We are all colleagues."
Ring, ring, ring. Suddenly, Hou Ge's phone rang.
Hou Ge picked it up, "Hello, Old Sun. I'm busy. The recording is about to start. I'll call you again tonight."
The person on the other end seemed to be from the television station, "Don't hang up. Get me a few tickets for 'Lecture Room'. A few of my friends have watched it and thought it was very good. When they found out I was at Beijing Television Station, they kept calling me to ask for live tickets. My goddess is one of them. Old Bro, you have to help me with this. My marriage depends on you. I'll go upstairs to get the tickets later. It's settled. Leave at least 3 tickets for me!"
Hou Ge was speechless and hung up.
Another person came outside, "Is Dafei around?"
Dafei looked up, "Yo, isn't that Science Channel's Brother Wu?"
Brother Wu smiled and said, "Dafei, my parents want to watch 'Lecture Room' live. I heard that you will start recording at 5 or 6 PM? Can you give me two tickets? "
Dafei said happily, "Okay, if Uncle and Auntie want to see it, it's definitely not a problem."
Wave after wave of people came to ask for tickets. Some were asking for themselves, some were asking for their friends, and some were asking for their parents and relatives. In the blink of an eye, the number of tickets in the program team's hands had decreased from 50-odd to 30-40. There were not many left, but the number of people coming did not decrease. Instead, it increased.
"Brother Hou, give me a ticket!"
"Brother Fei, do you still have tickets? One will do. "
"Little Sister Xiao Lu, just give me one. My friends are so anxious that they want to come. If I don't get them a few, where would I put my face!?"
Xiao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But I don't have any."
"Can you help me look for it? Thanks."
"Then, then alright. Teacher Zhang, can you give me two tickets?" Xiao Lu could only ask for Zhang Ye's help.
The 50 tickets had been distributed to each of their colleagues. Zhang Ye also received 10 tickets. Since he did not know anyone in the station, he just gave it to Xiao Lu, "Take it."
This afternoon, the people from Hu Fei's program team were all in high demand. It was hard to get a ticket!
Later, a few people from the television station's advertising department, who had dealt with Zhang Ye before, came to look for him. Zhang Ye's tickets were almost all sold out.
Xiao Lu wiped her sweat, "So our program is so popular?"
Hou Ge was also very tired, "I won't give it to anyone else. There are no more tickets."
Hou Di enjoyed this feeling and said, "In the future, when the few of us go out, we will have to hold our heads up high. I want to see who dares to say that our program isn't good!"
Zhang Ye smiled and suddenly looked around, "Eh? Where's Chenchen? "
Xiao Lu also helped to look around, "I don't see her. Where did she go? She couldn't have gotten lost, right? "
Hou Ge said happily, "How can that little rascal get lost? Anyone can get lost, but she can't! She's very cunning! I've never seen such a clever child! "
Just as they were talking, Chenchen came back with a can of iced Coke. As she walked, she gulped it down and even burped happily.
Zhang Ye stared at her, "Where did you go? Didn't I tell you not to run around!? "
Chenchen stretched out her hand and said impolitely, "Zhang Ye, give me a live ticket."
Zhang Ye was stunned, "I'll bring you in later. If you don't need a ticket, why do you need it?"
Chenchen pointed outside the door, "That auntie bought me a can of Coke. I promised her a ticket."
Zhang Ye smacked his forehead. He had really been defeated by her. She was so mischievous. She even knew how to accept bribes. He could only give Chenchen the last ticket in his hand.
Chenchen gave it to the auntie.
The auntie said, "Thank you, baby. Teacher Zhang, thank you." Then she left.
Hou Ge was very excited, "Look, look. Even a child has been mobilized. This shows how many people love watching our program. They love it to the point of going crazy!"
Hu Fei laughed, "Alright, it's time to enter early."
Hou Ge said excitedly, "Right, today's program has to be recorded well. Usually, the first episode's ratings are much higher. After all, it's a new program, so there's a sense of freshness. Many viewers come with a sense of freshness, but the second episode really tests the quality. If it's not a good program, or if it doesn't pass the test, the ratings will probably drop quite a bit. This episode has to be better than the first!"
Dafei gave Zhang Ye a bottle of mineral water, "Teacher Zhang, it's all up to you."
"Leave it to me." Zhang Ye drank some water and led Chenchen to the recording studio.
… …
The recording was about to begin.
The audience entered the venue one after another.
Zhang Ye was testing his headset onstage. Suddenly, he saw a few people from the corner of his eye. They were a few Leaders of the Literature Channel. Wang Shuixin was also there. He had actually come to watch.
Hu Fei went forward, "Director."
Wang Shuixin led the others to sit down and said, "Go do your work, Old Hu. We are the audience today. We are here to listen. You don't have to bother about us."
Hu Fei did not stand on ceremony, "Alright, then I'll get busy."
Today, there were many colleagues from the television station. They took up nearly a fifth of the seats. Some of them really liked the program, so they came to watch it live. As for the other colleagues, they were sent by the Leaders to watch and learn. After all, the rough ratings of "Lecture Room" were too shocking. The first episode had a rating of 7.8%. Such a great success naturally had its reasons, so they had to learn from it.
So many people.
So many pairs of eyes.
There were also colleagues from the television station and the Leaders.
Zhang Ye also felt a bit of pressure, but it wasn't much. It did not affect him much. This fellow's forte was his mental fortitude. He never had stage fright!
It was almost time.
Zhang Ye went to the side of the camera and found little Chenchen, who was listening curiously to the cameraman's words. He pulled her to the audience seats and lifted her up. He gently placed her on a chair and instructed, "Sit properly. When Uncle is recording, you are not to run around, understand?"
Chenchen impatiently acknowledged, "Got it."
This child was sometimes worrisome, but she was also very reassuring at times. This was because little Chenchen was different from her peers. She was much more mature. There were many things that she understood even without being told.
Zhang Ye went on stage with ease.
Hu Fei said, "Teacher Zhang, is it ready?"
Zhang Ye habitually raised his finger to form a "1". This was a habit he had developed when he was an anchor in the radio station. It was the language of the radio station's recording or live broadcast.
"Alright, everyone get ready. Three, two, one. Begin!"
Zhang Ye was very professional. After all, he was a "regular soldier" who had graduated from a professional school. At the beginning, he had an indifferent expression, but when the camera turned on, his expression suddenly changed into a smile, "Hello everyone. Welcome to today's' Lecture Room '. I'm Zhang Ye. Last episode, I recited a poem. The response seemed to be very good, especially the line' The oars turn to ashes while chatting '. It received a lot of good reviews. It showed Zhou Yu's coolness. Well, actually, the words of literary authors are often unreliable."
A few of them snickered.
Zhang Ye gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "The oars turn to ashes while chatting. That is a bit exaggerated. It's not that cool. It's just my personal artistic processing. Similarly, for example, Cao Cao. He is also a character that has been processed by literature. He is also a rather complicated character. Today, let us talk about him. Speaking of Cao Cao, everyone has three images of him. First, a hero. Second, a treacherous hero. Third, a traitor. Then, which evaluation is accurate? "
Which one was accurate?
Cao Cao was definitely a traitor or a treacherous hero! Was there any doubt?
Zhang Ye's words had piqued everyone's curiosity. They wanted to hear what Zhang Ye had to say.
Zhang Ye said, "The people say that Cao Cao is a traitor. Many people do not like Cao Cao. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Cao Cao was an unlikeable person. But why was he unlikeable? Everyone knows that Cao Cao once said, 'I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.' What does that mean? It means that a person would rather betray the world than let the world betray him. To say such words, that person is too evil. That's why the people hate Cao Cao. But now, we need to figure out if that's the truth. "
The audience could not help but stir.
What? Wasn't that the truth?
F * * k, you just vindicated Zhou Yu yesterday, and then took down Zhuge Liang's halo. Today, you want to vindicate Cao Cao? But the matter of Cao Cao has already been decided! Is there any dispute? Those words were said by him. For him to say such words, how could he be a good person?
Wang Shuixin frowned. He was a person who hated Cao Cao very much.
Many of the television station's colleagues looked at each other, waiting for Zhang Ye to continue.
Zhang Ye said, "In the records of this matter, there are contradictions in the history books. It's probably because Dong Zhuo wanted to persecute him, Cao Cao escaped from the capital and passed by an old friend's house. This old friend's name was Lu Boshe. Later on, Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's entire family. There are three versions of this matter. The first version is …" Saying that, Zhang Ye analyzed, "Actually, Cao Cao did not want to kill them, or he killed the wrong people. After they died, Cao Cao was very upset. Hai, forget it, I'd rather betray others than let others betray me. Let's take a look at the context. Cao Cao's words were actually a form of self-consolation and self-explanation. He was barely justifying his wrongdoings, but when it came to 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', it became self-righteous. Besides, Cao Cao's original words were not what everyone knows!"
Oh?
What were his original words?
Wasn't that it? Wasn't that the case?
Zhang Ye slowly said, "Cao Cao's original words were 'I'd rather betray others than let others betray me'. But in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', it was changed to 'I'd rather betray the world than let others betray me'. This is very different. At that time, Cao Cao said those words as a matter of fact. They were already dead, so he had no way of making it up to them. He could only let them down, and not let them let him down. These words actually had a certain degree of kindness in them, so on this matter, everyone's evaluation of Cao Cao is questionable."
"Let's talk about Cao Cao's tolerant side …"
"Cao Cao's will was written like this …"
"That's why I believe that the evaluation of Cao Cao can be summed up in these five words — A lovable schemer! Why is it a lovable schemer? Please listen to the next episode of 'The Mystery of the Schemer'. Thank you, everyone! "
After Zhang Ye finished, he bowed slightly.
Immediately, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!
Just like the first episode's audience, this episode's live audience also stood up. Bba Bba Bba Bba, they gave Zhang Ye their applause!
What a lovable schemer!
So Cao Cao was not what they remembered him to be!
So this eternal traitor also had such a side to him that no one knew about!
Everyone was enjoying listening to him. A few audience members even rushed up to Zhang Ye to ask for his autograph the moment the recording ended. They really liked the program he was talking about and were very impressed by Zhang Ye's knowledge!
