Two days later.
Saturday.
There was a lot of anticipation in China.
"It's going to premiere soon."
"There's still an hour left."
"I really want to watch it. Hurry up and start!"
"I've been waiting all morning!"
"Zhang Ye, you can do it!"
"I hope it's a surprise!"
"Face-smacking Zhang is making an entertainment show again after so many years. Will he still be as brilliant as before?"
"We'll find out soon enough."
…
At home.
Old Wu was off today, so his parents were also here.
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "You're not going to Central TV?"
Zhang Ye leaned back on the sofa and coaxed the child. "I'm not going. Let's watch it as a family."
His mother had already adjusted the channel. "Why aren't you watching it yet?"
His father said, "Aiya, it's not time yet."
His mother asked Wu Zeqing, "Zeqing, have you told your parents yet?"
Wu Zeqing smiled. "I've already told them. They know the premiere time, so they're probably watching it at home right now."
His mother smacked her lips and said, "Why do I feel a little nervous?"
"Mom, I'm not even nervous, so why are you nervous?" Zhang Ye was amused. "Just relax and watch it. Since I dare to bring out the show, it must be a good show. Don't worry."
His father perked up. "It's about to start!"
His mother quickly sat down. "Stop talking!"
Countless pairs of eyes.
Countless discussions.
The media, citizens, industry insiders, and even viewers from other countries around the world who had been attracted by the advertisements and news had all reached a peak of curiosity about this show. Some people were already waiting in front of their televisions early in the morning. In some countries, it was already nighttime. Some of the locals turned on their televisions and tuned it to Central TV International, a channel that they might not have paid attention to for the first half of their lives.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Man vs. Wild was finally going to premiere!
This could be said to be the first time China had brought out a show to the world!
…
On-screen.
Zhang Ye appeared.
"I'm Zhang Ye. Some people say that I'm a host, an author, a movie actor, a director, a singer, a mathematician, and a hacker. I don't deny any of these, but I know that I have another identity that no one knows of. I'm a wilderness survival expert. Today, I'll be entering the most dangerous area in America alone — the Rocky Mountains. Millions of people visit this place every year, and 2,000 of them die. I'll be entering the most desolate and uninhabited area of the Rockies with my bare hands. I want to show you the skills needed to survive in this place.
On the plane.
The wind whistled.
"I'm flying three thousand meters above the Rocky Mountains. Since most of the people who get into trouble here are caught off guard, my team has arranged a 'surprise' for me. The pilot might ask me to jump off at any time. I don't know where I'll land. I don't have a map, extra clothes, water, food, or even a phone. My mission is very simple. I'll do everything I can to get out alive within three days."
Open the hatch.
Parachuting.
"Oh, it's the forest!"
"This position is very dangerous!"
"God bless us!"
"Oh no, I'm hung on a tree."
"Phew, luckily I'm still alive. I need to find a way to leave this place. This place is 10 meters high. If I fall, I might break my bones, so I need to use some methods. Remember, if you encounter danger in the wild, the first thing you need to do is to stay calm, because that might save your life."
"Ah!"
"I'm down."
"I need to find a river now, because that means food and water."
"Look at what I found. This is a local wild herb. I know it might not taste good, but I have no other choice. I have to eat it to recover my strength."
"Oh, it's a snake!"
"This is a rattlesnake. It's highly venomous."
"You'll need a branch, like this. Look, I've caught it."
"That's great, we have dinner now."
"It's the middle of the night right now. I don't know what time it is, but I heard some noises that gave me a bad feeling. It's coming again! Can you guys hear it? It sounds like a wild animal, but I'm not sure what it is. It's a very bad feeling. I can't help but think of the bear's footprints during the day. Although I tried to stay as far away from that area as possible when I was setting up the shelter, I know that bears have a very keen sense of smell. If it really has its eyes on me, it's definitely not good news for me. "
"Oh my God! It's a bear! "
"Dammit, I'm leaving!"
"Run!"
"It's a cliff. I have no way out!"
"I'm going to jump off. Wish me luck!"
…
At the studio.
Everyone was shocked. This was also their first time seeing it.
"What kind of grass is that!"
"I don't know."
"Did Director Zhang really eat it?"
"Yeah, he really ate it."
…
At Yao Jiancai's house.
"Dad, Uncle Zhang even eats the bark of a tree?"
"This fellow must be crazy from hunger!"
"Ah, he even eats poisonous snakes?"
"This glutton!"
…
At Central TV.
"It's a bear!"
"Oh my God!"
"It's a real bear! I filmed it! "
"It's over! It's too dangerous! "
…
Back at home.
"Son, you've gone mad!"
"You even jumped off a cliff?"
"Didn't you say that there wasn't any danger! Why is there a bear! "
"Ahem, there really wasn't any danger. Mom, we hired actors, actors."
"Actors, your grandpa! Why do your family's actors have so much hair on their bodies! "
…
China.
"Ahhh!"
"Face-smacking Zhang is going to make a heroic sacrifice!"
"It's a real bear!"
"This is so exciting! It's so satisfying! "
"He's really risking his life to film this show!"
…
America.
"Holy shit!"
"Zhang Ye has been attacked!"
"Can he even get away?"
"He jumped off a cliff! Oh my God! That was too thrilling! "
"His physical fitness is really good!"
…
The UK.
"Phew, we've shaken off the bear's pursuit!"
"Just a little more!"
"This is bad, there's another bear! It doesn't look like the one from before! "
"The Chinese guy is so unlucky! He's in danger this time! "
…
Japan.
"It's for real!"
"There's even such a way to film a show?"
"Is he crazy?"
"Of course he's crazy. Is this the first day you guys know him?"
…
Korea.
"Quick, watch Man vs. Wild!"
"I'm determined not to watch Zhang Ye's show!"
"Zhang Ye is going to be eaten by a bear!"
"What? Which channel? I'll watch it right away! "
"Pfft, can you guys have some humanitarianism?"
…
India.
"Eat him! Eat him! "
"Hurry up and eat him! That stupid bear! Chase after him! "
"Zhang Ye has run downstream! Quickly chase after him! "
"Why is that stupid bear running so slowly!"
…
Pakistan.
"He's out!"
"I can see the highway!"
"Thank the Heavens!"
"Awesome, my China bro!"
"As expected of the person who ran the best half marathon of the year!"
…
Forty minutes passed.
The first episode of the show ended.
Immediately, heated discussions blew up all over the world!
