"It's over!"
"It's over!"
"It was such a good show!"
"Yeah, I've never seen such an exciting show before!"
"It's number one in the viewership ratings in many countries!"
"These viewership ratings are too scary!"
"I can't bear to see it go!"
"I want to continue watching it too!"
"Let's congratulate Zhang Ye! Face-smacking Zhang has done well this time! "
"Did you see what the foreign media said about him?"
"Haha, I saw it!"
"— The man at the top of the food chain!"
"Pfft, this title is indeed appropriate. There's nothing that this fellow doesn't dare to eat!"
…
On this day.
From the premiere episode to the end.
After a full three months, Man vs. Wild finally came to an end.
It wasn't until the last special edition episode was broadcast that the celebratory feast finally started. Only then did everyone have time to gather together to celebrate this historic moment. Whether it was to Zhang Ye, to Central TV, to the industry, or to the country, this was a show that would go down in history.
The people from Central TV.
The people from the industry.
They were all here today.
Director Meng raised his glass and came over. "Director Zhang, congratulations."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Same here."
Director Meng said, "Come, let me toast you!"
Zhang Ye said, "Don't stand on ceremony, Director Meng."
Yu Yingyi stood up. "Zhang 'er, I'll drink with you as well."
Zhang Ye toasted. "Alright."
A person from Central TV said, "I wish you a bright future. It's all thanks to you this time. You're really amazing!"
"Yeah, who could have thought that our China's shows would have such a day!" Director Meng laughed heartily. "Director Zhang, honestly speaking, I'm not convinced by anyone else in the industry, but you!"
Zhang Ye said politely, "Haha, thank you. It was all thanks to everyone's hard work. My job was to record and edit the show. The rest of the venue arrangements, personnel, equipment, and publicity were all handled by Central TV. If anyone else were missing, this show wouldn't have become popular. So I'll toast to everyone as well.
"Alright."
"Director Zhang, cheers."
"Let's work together again if there's a chance in the future!"
"Sure, no problem."
It was very lively at the table. Everyone was toasting each other, laughing and joking around. These three months were an unprecedented experience for everyone. The feeling of ascending to the clouds was really great. This kind of honor and pride could not be bought with any amount of money.
Zhang Ye was also very happy today. He drank seven or eight glasses of white wine by himself and no one could stop him. To be honest, filming this show was very risky for him. In his previous world, Man vs. Wild was, after all, a foreign show. Zhang Ye had forcefully adapted it over here and adapted it into a Chinese show. Now that he was able to achieve such results, even he himself was surprised. This could be said to be the most popular work that Zhang Ye had ever done ever since his debut. He had the right time, the right place, and the right people.
Yu Yingyi smiled and asked, "Has the international celebrity rankings been updated?"
Zhang Ye looked at his watch. "Not yet, right?"
"It's going to be updated soon." Ha Qiqi said nervously, "I wonder what's going on."
A person from Central TV said, "There definitely won't be any problems."
Director Meng said, "Two days ago, Director Zhang was already ranked third on the C-list rankings, right?"
Ha Qiqi nodded. "Yes."
Director Meng looked at Zhang Ye. "If you can get into the International B-list Rankings this time, you'll be making history again. There has never been a celebrity in China who has reached such heights as you. Besides, not to mention China, even for those foreign celebrities, there aren't many who can get into the International B-list Rankings!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Who knows? Let's just wait and see."
The International B-list Rankings and the International C-list Rankings were two completely different concepts. No matter how high up the C-list rankings were, it was still just a C-list. There was still a difference of a grade. This time, Zhang Ye had used Man vs. Wild to become a god in the international television industry, so he naturally wanted to use this show to push his popularity to the next level. He and his studio's staff had been eyeing the International B-list Rankings for a long time and had been waiting for this day. This opportunity was too rare. Zhang Ye also hoped that he could push his way up in one go. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would get another chance to get into the International B-list Rankings. It was very likely that there wouldn't be another opportunity within the year.
The rankings were about to be updated.
Zhang Ye was filled with anticipation.
The studio's staff were also getting nervous.
…
America.
"It's out!"
"The International Celebrity Rankings Index has been updated!"
"Let me see, let me see!"
"Oh my God!"
"This —"
…
Japan.
"The rankings are out!"
"What's Zhang Ye's ranking now?"
"Uh, take a look for yourselves."
"Ah, he's not on the C-list anymore?"
…
Korea.
"He's on the B-list!"
"He's on the International B-list!"
"Oh my God, China finally has an international B-list celebrity?"
…
China.
"He's really gone up!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Lord Zhang is almighty!"
"I knew it! I knew it! "
…
At his maternal grandma's house.
"It's a success! It's a success! "
"Little Ye has gone up to the International B-list Rankings!"
"Are you serious?"
"Take a look for yourself!"
…
At the celebratory banquet.
"Hahahahaha!"
"He's gone up! He's gone up! "
"He's really on the B-list!"
"Director Zhang, it's your treat!"
"I'll have to treat you to a meal tomorrow!"
…
The International Celebrity Rankings Index.
The results were finally revealed!
Zhang Ye's name had disappeared from the International C-list Rankings. At the moment the rankings were updated, his name was written into the International B-list Rankings. Although it was in the last spot and ranked at the bottom of all the international B-list celebrities, a B-list celebrity was still a B-list celebrity. The meaning it represented was completely different. If the international C-list celebrities were considered to have just entered the international entertainment circle and were still considered to be at the periphery, then the international B-list celebrities could be considered to have truly entered the core of the international entertainment circle. Their identity, popularity, status, and qualifications were all different!
The media blew up!
The entire world was in heated discussion!
"The International Celebrity Rankings Index has been updated!"
"The man at the top of the food chain has ascended to the International B-list Rankings!"
"China's first international B-list celebrity!"
"China's celebrity popularity skyrockets!"
"Zhang Ye's path of defying the heavens!"
"Zhang Ye — an all-rounder celebrity?"
"Just how far can Zhang Ye go?"
In the past few months, Zhang Ye's international popularity score had been soaring like a rocket. It was different every day until today, on the last day of Man vs. Wild's finale, when he finally made it to the International B-list Celebrity Rankings. He had achieved a major goal that he had set for himself in the first phase of his career.
To the staff of Zhang Ye's Studio, they had heard from Zhang Ye many years ago that his goal was to reach the top of the international entertainment circle. At that time, they only took it as a joke and did not take it seriously. But only now did they realize that Zhang Ye was serious about it. Over the years, he had really walked step by step to a position that no one had ever dared to dream of!
He had reached the International B-list Rankings!
It really felt like a dream!
