Three days later.
The table in the living room on the first floor was filled with the newspapers from the past few days. The reports on Zhang Ye had piled up like a mountain over the past few days. His parents would bring over a stack of them every day, and they were all collected by Old Wu. This did not even include the reports from the various domestic television stations and foreign news outlets. Adding on to the news from the online media, it would probably take more than two days and two nights to finish reading every single word.
Morning.
Old Wu went to work, so Zhang Ye woke up early to take care of the child at home.
"Dad, are you still going out today?"
"I'm not going out anymore. I've finished my social engagements these few days."
"Dad, I want to watch cartoons."
"Not today."
"Why?"
"Today is Army Day. Let's watch the military parade."
"What is Army Day, Dad?"
"A very, very important festival."
"Oh, then Sisi won't watch cartoons."
"My daughter is so obedient."
The military parade began.
Zhang Ye carried his daughter on the sofa and watched television, letting her receive an education in patriotism.
Today, Zhang Ye was very happy and honored to be able to bring the Nobel Prize back to China for the first time at a time like this. This could also be considered a great gift that he had given to his country.
Half an hour.
One hour.
The doorbell rang. Someone from the studio had arrived.
When Ha Qiqi saw the television, she smiled and said, "You're watching it too?"
"Of course." Zhang Ye said, "Sit anywhere. If you want to drink, pour yourself some water."
Zhang Zuo chuckled and said, "You even brought your daughter to watch it?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "She has to learn to love her country from a young age."
Little Wang said, "Can the child understand it?"
Zhang Ye said, "Even if I don't understand it, I still have to watch it. I'm just afraid that she'll worship foreign things when she grows up."
Tong Fu cramped up with laughter. "Director Zhang, you're overthinking things. I can't say for sure if other people's children will worship foreign things in the future, but your daughter will definitely not. Regarding this, the entire nation's citizens can vouch for you. Don't worry, Sisi will definitely be like you and Minister Wu when she grows up."
What sort of person was Zhang Ye?
He was a well-known patriotic youth!
The spiritual leader of China's nationalistic youth!
Could his children worship foreign things? The entire nation did not believe it!
Sisi pointed at the television and said, "Daddy, they walk so well!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "This is called a forward step. This is how our country's soldiers are like."
Sisi said excitedly, "Is Daddy as powerful as you?"
"Daddy doesn't know how to walk." Zhang Ye smiled.
However, Ha Qiqi said to Sisi, "Sisi, although your dad isn't a soldier and doesn't know how to do the para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-para-
Sisi said happily, "I know, Daddy is the best!"
Zhang Ye patted his daughter on the head. "Let's watch the military parade."
Sisi said, "Yes!"
Zhang Zuo asked, "Director Zhang, what kind of missile is that?"
Zhang Ye smiled. "C5 intercontinental ballistic missile."
Ha Qiqi blinked and said, "Is it powerful?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's the latest model of intercontinental ballistic missile. It can hit America directly. Do you think it's powerful?"
Little Wang said excitedly, "What about this? What about this? "
They all knew that Zhang Ye had been dealing with the military for the past few years in prison. He had participated in many scientific research projects and weapons research, so they were very knowledgeable in this area. As such, they all asked him about it. Zhang Ye answered and introduced them one by one. He was very familiar with the equipment that was included in the lineup.
Soon after.
The military parade ended.
Zhang Ye let Sisi go upstairs to play with her toys while he stayed behind to discuss matters with the studio's staff. They needed to sort out the direction of their future development in detail. To Zhang Ye and his studio, they had reached a new height. It was a height that China's celebrities had never reached before. There was no longer any reference for them to follow, so they would have to rely on themselves to explore the path ahead.
Everyone sat down for the meeting.
Ha Qiqi said, "Set the tone."
Zhang Zuo asked, "How do we proceed from here?"
"Actually," Zhang Ye said with a smile, "I don't know either."
Little Wang exclaimed, "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Ye threw up his hands. "I'm already quite surprised that we could reach this height, so how can there be any plans for the future? We'll just have to take it one step at a time."
Ha Qiqi said, "In the past few days since we came back, we've been studying the international celebrity rankings. The competition is really too intense. It's not like our domestic celebrity rankings, where it's very difficult to have a major change once a month. On the international celebrity rankings, there are basically changes every day. Some people climb up the rankings, while others fall off the pedestal. That's why we're all quite anxious. Although the Nobel Prize incident made us astound on the international celebrity rankings, we still have a weak foundation. Our popularity came and went very quickly. In recent days, there hasn't been any reports from the foreign media, and the limelight of our Nobel Prize win has pretty much passed. So how are we going to continue on the international stage in the future?"
Zhang Ye asked, "Do we have any invitations?"
Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile. "There are quite a few domestically, but not internationally."
Zhang Zuo said, "Our domestic popularity has reached its limit. Almost every citizen in the country has become your fan. If we were to take on some variety shows or television dramas, that would be meaningless. We would just be making no progress at all. Our goal is definitely to fight our way overseas. Right now, the domestic citizens and the industry are also thinking in this direction. They want to see how far you can go internationally and how much more you can build for China."
Zhang Ye said, "But no one invited me?"
Ha Qiqi suddenly asked, "Do you know a lot about the military and weapons?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"Then there's a rather good invitation from China," Ha Qiqi said.
Zhang Ye asked with interest, "What kind of invitation?"
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Central TV contacted us. It just so happens to be during Army Day, so they would like to invite you to participate in a military talk show."
Little Wang said, "Isn't that still a domestic show?"
"No." Ha Qiqi said, "It's Central TV International."
Zhang Ye said, "International?"
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Yes, almost every country in the world will be able to watch it. This is also the only international channel in China at the moment. Although people in many countries might not necessarily watch it, at least they can still receive the satellite signal. As for the effect of the program and how many people will watch it, that will all depend on you. I think that with your fame from winning the Nobel Peace Prize and your position on the international celebrity rankings, as well as your international popularity, there should be quite a few foreigners who will still be interested in you. I think this is a pretty good opportunity."
Tong Fu scratched his head. "I know about Central TV International. Some of the programs are translated into English, while others are translated in English. I don't think the viewership ratings are high, right? I don't think there are that many people watching it in the country, right? "
Zhang Zuo said, "But at least it's an international channel. No one can compare to it in terms of viewership. It covers the entire world, so it's not a bad idea to give it a try. In the past, our international channel didn't do well because the programs were all the same, and we don't have any international celebrities in China. But now that Director Zhang has stepped into the category of an international celebrity, his appeal and influence will definitely be different from before.
Everyone discussed it for a long time.
Finally, Zhang Ye made the decision. "Alright, let's give it a try then."
Ha Qiqi smiled. "Alright, I'll contact Central TV and get them to set a time."
Very quickly, Zhang Ye's first job offer after entering the international entertainment circle was confirmed!
