The next day.
In the morning.
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
The moment Zhang Ye arrived at work, he clapped his hands and gathered everyone together. "Everyone, put down your work for a moment. I have something to announce. Yesterday, Central TV International invited us to do a show that will be aimed at the international stage. After thinking about it for a day, I have already decided to do this. I will not be taking on any new jobs for the next few months, so everyone's focus will be on this new show."
Little Wang was taken aback. "Huh?"
Tong Fu was stunned. "Are you really going to do it?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I'm really going to do it."
Ha Qiqi asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you couldn't do it?"
"That's right." Wu Yi said, "You said it yourself."
China's television programs had always been in trouble, especially during the three years that Zhang Ye was in prison. Prosperity was just a facade. Be it variety shows, documentaries, or television dramas, the ceiling had always been within the borders of China. None of them had been able to step out of China. Over the years, there have been many TV producers trying to get China's programs to go overseas, but in the end, without exception, they all failed. Gradually, no one dared to try anymore.
However, Zhang Ye wanted to give it a try this time.
Zhang Ye grinned and said, "Of course it won't do if it's just a normal show, but the show that we're going to create is completely different. This type of show has never been done before in the entire world, so it can be said that it's different from the rest of the world. Believe me, if this show is produced according to my expectations, it won't be a problem for it to become popular all over the world. Whether our China's self-produced TV show can make a name for itself will all depend on this. It's just that I have to tell everyone that this show is not easy to shoot. It's quite difficult, so the requirements for our team are also very high. This is an outdoor survival show. Although we've shot a lot of documentaries, movies, and TV series, and we've also been to the mountains and villages, it's still not the same. So this time, the female comrades don't need to participate in the filming. Just stay in the studio. "
Little Wang rolled her eyes. "Director Zhang, you're discriminating against women."
Zhang Ye said happily, "Believe me, you definitely don't want to go with the film crew. Everyone might have to stay in the wilderness for three to four days without any logistical support. In terms of accommodation, living conditions, and living conditions, it won't be very convenient for the women, so you might as well not go. The filming this time will be mainly for the men."
Ha Qiqi asked, "Just what is the program like?"
Little Wang also asked, "Yeah, is it really that good?"
Go abroad?
Become famous throughout the world?
They could not imagine what Zhang Ye had described.
Zhang Ye smiled and took out a document that he had written after staying up late last night to prepare.
Everyone immediately looked down.
— "Man vs. Wild"?
One page.
Five pages.
Ten pages.
After reading it, the studio's staff were all shocked. Previously, they did not understand what Zhang Ye meant by a wilderness survival show, nor did they understand how it would be handled and filmed. But after reading the program proposal, they finally understood what it was all about!
Little Wang exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
Ha Qiqi said anxiously, "No! This, this is too dangerous! "
Zhang Zuo was dumbfounded. "You're risking your life!"
Wu Yi exclaimed, "If this is not handled properly, someone might die!"
Zhang Ye smacked his lips and said, "Why would anyone die? I know what I'm doing."
"The safety of the film crew isn't a big problem. They don't have to follow every scene," Tong Fu said. "But who's responsible for your safety? This is even more dangerous than when we were filming the lion scene in the African grasslands. If something really happens, we won't even be able to save you in time. According to the program proposal, even ten lives wouldn't be enough. Who wrote this crappy proposal? "
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "I wrote it."
Tong Fu said, "Uh."
Zhang Zuo said firmly, "I object!"
Ha Qiqi said, "I object too!"
Almost everyone objected.
Those who are timid or can't take the hardship, don't go. It's the same for those who are physically weak. Otherwise, they won't be able to handle the unexpected situations in the wilderness. If you've thought it through, go and register with Old Ha. I want to see the name list of the film crew before we get off work today. Oh right, I also need a personal videographer. This job is also very dangerous, and our studio's people are not good enough for it. Let's hire someone else and see if there are any suitable candidates. The requirements for the videographer's skills don't need to be that high, and it's not like we're shooting an artistic film. The most important thing is that they have to be physically fit and have wilderness survival experience. "
Everyone looked at each other.
Zhang Ye blinked and said, "What are you still standing around for, Old Ha?"
Ha Qiqi said helplessly, "Understood."
Zhang Ye looked at Zhang Zuo. "Brother Zuo?"
Zhang Zuo threw up his hands in surrender. "Whatever you say."
They all knew that once Director Zhang made up his mind, he would not change his mind.
Zhang Ye smiled. "Come on, let's get moving. When the filming is done, you'll all know why I'm willing to take the risk to make this show. When the time comes, just wait and see our show sweep the world. Whether it's an American show, a British show, a Japanese show, a talk show, a variety show, or a documentary, if they come, we'll wipe them out. It won't be a problem at all."
Everyone was speechless. They didn't know if Director Zhang was serious or just bluffing them.
Sweep the world?
A global hit?
Was that even possible?
How could they survive in the wilderness?
Would anyone really like to watch a show about a "fool" wandering in the mountains?
…
On the same day.
News of Zhang Ye's collaboration with Central TV International spread.
Although it did not get into the specifics and details, many of the media and citizens could already guess that Zhang Ye's new work was about to be released. Furthermore, it was going to be an international television show! This news was too big. Ever since Wolf Warrior 2 was released, the media from all over the world had been paying close attention to Zhang Ye's developments. No one could have expected that he, who had just become a world-renowned film director, would suddenly turn around and make a television show!
On the Web.
"Zhang Ye isn't making movies anymore?"
"You're a film director, so why are you making a television show!"
"There's a saying in China: 'Don't take on porcelain work if you don't have a diamond in the rough, hur hur."
"What's so good about China's television shows?"
"Who knows? Do you guys have any impression of China's television shows?"
"I've never seen them before."
"Me neither, I've never heard of them before."
"In the international television industry, China has never had a share in it."
"China's shows don't have any presence at all."
The citizens of all over the world could not be optimistic about this. All sorts of disdainful voices came out.
But in the end, they were smacked in the face by the China netizens.
A China netizen: "Previous poster, I won't refute anything you say, but when it comes to this, I have to say a few words to you. Hur hur, perhaps you guys don't know yet, but your favorite talk shows actually originated from China, right?"
The netizens from all over the world were stunned.
"What?"
"A talk show?"
"It's from China?"
"How is that possible!"
A lot of the foreigners could not believe it.
Countless China netizens laughed and said, "Go and check it out. It's really amazing!"
When the netizens from all over the world heard this, they really went to check it out. When they did, many of them were shocked. Only then did they realize that the talk show format was really originated from China. The earliest talk show had appeared in China, and many of the foreign talk shows were imitating that show. Some of them even paid China a copyright fee for it. This discovery really shocked them.
The foreign netizens.
"It's really from China!"
"This is too amazing!"
"This is the first time I've heard of it too!"
"There's still such an amazing television personality in China?"
"Who was the one who made the first talk show?"
They were extremely curious.
Following that, the China netizens gave an answer. "The world's first talk show was made by Zhang Ye. All the copyright fees that you've earned over the years were paid to him."
Many of the foreigners couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy shit!"
