The next day.
Zhang Ye went to work.
There was a recording in the morning. The audience had already been informed and the live tickets had been issued. However, many of the audience and staff only found out when they arrived that "Zhang Ye's Talk Show" would be changed to a daily broadcast. This workload gave many of the staff a fright.
"Teacher Zhang!"
"This, isn't this too tight?"
"That's right, can we handle it?"
"A daily broadcast, so we definitely have to record a few more episodes in advance to avoid any accidents. Wouldn't the quality be affected this way? We're fine with it, but we're afraid you'll be too tired. "
The program team staff said.
Zhang Ye smiled, "Let's give it a try. We recorded two more episodes yesterday, so let's record three more today. If possible, we'll record four more episodes. Let's prepare it in advance." Then he said to the audience, "Hello everyone, I have something to trouble you with. We will probably have to record a few more episodes today. We will probably record until noon. If anyone has something to do in the middle of the recording, it's alright. You can leave early without making a sound."
"Let's record!"
"It's best if we record ten episodes!"
"Right, even if we record until night, I won't leave!"
"Haha, we can't wait to watch a few more episodes. Who would be willing to leave!"
The audience's feedback was very enthusiastic, which made Zhang Ye and the program team feel relieved.
Then, after checking that the audience did not hide any recording equipment, they began recording.
I'm your host, Zhang Ye. Today, I have some exciting news to share with everyone. Because of everyone's enthusiastic response and support, from now on, our program's broadcast time will be adjusted. From Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM, it will be changed to Monday to Sunday at 8 PM. Also, our program has a sponsor. This episode will be sponsored by the Korean National Space Agency. We want to go into the distance and see what else is ours! "Zhang Ye nodded and said," Let's see what else is ours! "
The audience was listening very seriously at first. Changing the broadcast time, introducing sponsors and advertisements, but who knew that Zhang Ye would suddenly throw out a joke segment without any warning! Even a lot of the staff at the venue were fooled by Zhang Ye because he had sounded too serious and serious earlier. They were still wondering what he was talking about. Sponsors? They had never heard that their program had a sponsor! No one had expected Zhang Ye to make such an unexpected turn of events!
"Pfft!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"The Koreans are too ambitious!"
The audience and even the staff were cramping with laughter!
Teacher Zhang Ye was too dedicated! Didn't they already announce the second episode's Korean specials? Again today? This was a hundred years of professional Korean hater! It was indeed as Zhang Ye had said previously. Who was the one supporting China's Talk Show career? It was not the SARFT, nor was it the television station media, nor was it the industry experts, nor was it the citizens of China. It was the great Korean people who were silently contributing!
Haha!
Today's episode was going to be fun again!
Just with this opening speech, this episode would definitely not be bad!
…
At noon.
The recording studio dispersed.
At the last count, Zhang Ye had actually recorded five episodes in one go. Including the extra two episodes from yesterday, the "stock" they had was enough for them to broadcast for a week. This was also because Zhang Ye was getting more and more familiar with the Talk Show's performance style. Hence, his condition was getting better, and the mental strain was not as great. If it was like recording the first and second episode, he would have fainted onstage after recording five episodes. However, he was not as tired today. When the program team staff saw that Teacher Zhang was in great condition, they all felt at ease.
In the dressing room.
Zhang Ye changed back into his clothes and removed his makeup. Then, he switched on his cellphone. After switching it on for a few minutes, a phone call came.
The number displayed — Director Jiang.
The executive director of "The Great Pugilistic World"?
Zhang Ye answered, "Hello, Director Jiang. Hello."
Director Jiang smiled, "Little Zhang, why did you switch off your cellphone?"
"Hai, I recorded an entire morning's program. I just finished." Zhang Ye said, "Is something the matter?"
Director Jiang said, "Tonight will be the premiere of 'The Great Pugilistic World'. It will be held in Shanghai. If you have time, come over. After it ends, there will be a celebration banquet. This time, it will be an official celebration banquet."
Zhang Ye did not hesitate, "Alright, I will definitely be there."
In the past, whenever the film crew needed to inform him of matters or coordinate with the promotions, it would be the Assistant Director who would contact him. This time, it was Director Jiang who personally called him. Zhang Ye also understood that as his fame increased, his status in the industry would naturally increase. The current him was no longer a nobody who needed to rely on connections to enter a film crew to play a small side character. The current Zhang Ye … Well, the current him did not need to rely on connections to enter a film crew to play a small side character! His social status had clearly risen!
…
Cafeteria.
When Zhang Ye was getting his food, he met Dong Shanshan, who was also here to eat.
He whispered, "I have to go out tonight. I had a guest appearance at a movie premiere, so I'll probably be back late. Don't wait for me to eat."
Dong Shanshan whispered, "Got it."
After a few furtive words, the two of them returned to their normal voices and chatted happily.
… …
Evening.
Zhang Ye arrived at the cinema and walked to the staff's area.
A youth stopped him, "Who are you? Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in! "
A young woman behind turned around and saw him. She immediately walked up and stared at the youth, "You don't even know Teacher Zhang Ye!" She then smiled at Zhang Ye, "Teacher Zhang, please come in."
The youth was stunned. He was Zhang Ye? The one who had been trending on the internet recently?
Zhang Ye entered the resting area and immediately saw a few familiar faces.
"Aiyah, Little Zhang is here. Hahaha." Yao Jiancai also saw Zhang Ye at a glance and immediately came up to him. He put his arm around his shoulder and said, "You have been in the limelight recently. I watched your 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show'. Although I didn't really like the other episodes, as I tend to be a bit more amusing, your second episode's Korean special scolding was really good. I watched that episode three times! It was great! "
"Teacher Zhang is here."
"Little Zhang, have a seat here."
A few actors who had filmed with him previously greeted him.
Sitting right there seemed to be the male and female leads. However, Zhang Ye did not know them, nor was he familiar with them. This was because on the day he went to Qingshan Monastery to film, there were no scenes for the male and female leads, so he had never seen them. Hence, after exchanging a few pleasantries with his old friends, he went to a corner with Yao Jiancai. The old and young began chatting. They had the best relationship and had always been rather congenial. They could be considered friends despite their age difference.
After joking for a while, Yao Jiancai said in a rare serious manner, "This talk show of yours is really very novel. I always felt that crosstalk had its limitations. It had its limitations in terms of communication, as well as geographical and language limitations. However, your talk show just happened to make up for all these limitations. Furthermore, it's different from stand-up crosstalk. The situation, content, and even the way you bring out the burden are all different. Your attainments in this aspect are really not simple."
Zhang Ye said in surprise, "Old Yao, you really know?"
Yao Jiancai chuckled, "Of course. Do you know what I did before I started filming movies? I did three years of crosstalk. "
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Professional?"
"Ahem, self-taught. I'm not a professional." Yao Jiancai said with a bit of a sigh, "Back then, there was no food to eat, so what could I do? I teamed up with someone for three years. At that time, I also started playing small roles. I took on all sorts of jobs, but it was hard to tell which was the main job and which was the side job."
Zhang Ye said with interest, "You were a supporting actor?"
Yao Jiancai laughed, "Look at me, I can speak while chatting, but when it comes to crosstalk, I can't. I don't have your superb eloquence, nor did I graduate from a professional class. So of course I'm a supporting actor. Don't look at me like this. I was a good supporting actor back then!"
"Alright, I believe you."
"But why do I feel that you have an expression of disbelief?"
… …
Before 7 PM.
The premiere ceremony had begun.
He was the same as Yao Jiancai. They were both supporting actors. In fact, his scenes were far less than Uncle Yao's. Of course, it was not his turn to speak. That was a matter between Director Jiang and the male and female leads. Even though Zhang Ye's popularity was rising by the day, he could not be compared to the two male and female leads. They were real B-list celebrities. Their words carried a lot more weight than Zhang Ye's. A celebrity. This was a reflection of their overall strength. Although Zhang Ye's appeal on the internet was not small, and he had many topics to talk about, in terms of fame and qualifications, he was still far from them.
After a series of formalities.
The movie finally began.
Zhang Ye and Old Yao sat in the third row, quietly watching the movie. To Zhang Ye, this movie was not bad. Yes, but it was only not bad. The box office earnings would not be too bad, but it would not be too good either. This was because there was nothing new in the way it was done. Of course, this was only Zhang Ye's personal opinion. He did not know if the audience would buy it. After all, in his world, many movies with terrible reviews had done quite well at the box office.
"Hey, it's your turn!" Old Yao kicked his shoes from the side.
Zhang Ye stared at the screen. Indeed, the character he was playing had appeared. He did not have much of a character's image. He was just a cameo. The moment he appeared, he fought!
Many people in the theater did not have much of a reaction.
However, there were clearly a few people who recognized that this person was the host of "Zhang Ye's Talk Show"!
Immediately, what was supposed to be a very serious scene, where someone was about to die, was filled with laughter. For some reason, many people had a conditioned reflex after watching "Zhang Ye's Talk Show". The moment they saw Zhang Ye, they wanted to laugh!
"Hur Hur Hur."
The laughter was sparse. It was not much, but it was still quite obvious.
Director Jiang, "…"
The male and female leads, "…"
The other actors in the film crew were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Your sister. This is a serious historical wuxia movie. How can there be any comedy elements!?
However, from this, they could feel that Zhang Ye's fame and reputation were increasing day by day. There would be a day when he would step on a rainbow cloud and reach the pinnacle of the world. Standing in the endless clouds, he would shout to the world, "Who is better at excavating? Shandong, China, look for Lanxiang! "
