Sunday.
According to the announcement, this was the last day of "Old and Young Story Club". It was also the day that this old program that had been around for many years came to an end.
The listeners' messages were very active.
"This program can't end!"
"That's right. It can't stop. Do you hear me!?"
"Our family of eight is waiting to hear it!"
"If you end the Story Club, do you believe that I won't smash your radio station's windows, bastard!?"
The letters from the listeners that Zhang Ye had received in the morning also showed the strong desire of the listeners. However, Zhang Ye did not reply to them. He could not reply, so he could only do his best and leave it to fate.
Teacher Feng came in with a pile of things. They were all documents.
Wang Xiaomei politely said, "Uncle Feng, have you settled your retirement?"
"It was just settled." Teacher Feng sighed, "I really can't bear to part with it."
An old editor with similar qualifications to Teacher Feng said, "Old Feng, let's have a farewell dinner tonight."
However, Teacher Feng waved his hand, "There's no need. I don't plan on leaving for the next few days. Hur Hur. I'll stay for another two days to help Teacher Little Zhang in his final days."
Everyone understood that Teacher Feng was not simply doing this to protect him. Regardless of whether Zhang Ye's character was likable or not, or whether he was popular, no one doubted Zhang Ye's ability and strength. Be it "Late-night Ghost Stories" or yesterday's "Old and Young Story Club", they had all been brought to a peak by Zhang Ye. Such a godly person with such abilities did not need Teacher Feng's protection. Old Feng was clearly worried about the program that had been with him for so many years. He wanted to stay behind to see if "Old and Young Story Club" could be miraculously preserved under Zhang Ye's hands!
"Is the listenership ratings out?" Teacher Feng asked.
Zhang Ye took the initiative to help Teacher Feng carry the things, "Not yet. I'm not sure either."
Xiaofang had also come to work early, "We still have to wait. The people at the statistics department were basically resting yesterday, so it's a little slow. It should be out soon."
Teacher Feng sighed, "I hope the listenership ratings will not drop too much."
Zhang Ye said happily, "You have too little confidence in me."
"It's not that I don't believe in you." Teacher Feng looked at him, "If I didn't have confidence in you, would I leave the last few days of the program to you? The main reason is that your serialization yesterday was too aggressive. The story was too long. Splitting it for two days is very dangerous. The children might change channels midway. "
Two days apart?
Yes, everyone believed that Zhang Ye's story was part one and part two. With two chapters a day, he was going to finish it today.
Zhang Ye smiled but did not say a word. He did not dare to tell everyone that the novel version of "The Wizard of Oz" actually … had a total of 24 chapters. That was to say, this story would take at least more than ten days to finish! Two days? Only half of the main characters had appeared. It was impossible for them to finish!
Everyone was too naive. They never expected that Zhang Ye would be so shameless as to leave an unfinished serial for Jia Yan to take over. Most people would not do such a wicked thing!
From afar, Tian Bin looked at Zhang Ye and chuckled.
Over there, Jia Yan, who was busy planning his new segment, was also looking forward to how much Zhang Ye's bad move would cause his listenership rating to drop. He estimated that it would drop below the top ten. There was no need to explain the reason. Well … Forget it. It's better to say it. The Education Department's mandatory promotion was only limited to the story "Little Bunnies Be Good". Everyone's approval of this story did not mean that they would approve of his other stories. Secondly, the serialization of fairy tales was a mistake.
He waited left and right.
High class, low class.
Low class, low class … Alright, enough talk.
A person came in through the door. It was Zhao Guozhou, who had not appeared for two days. He was holding an A4 paper in his hand. It was clearly the listenership rating table for all channels yesterday.
Jia Yan quickly got up, "Director."
Zhao Guozhou pressed his hands down, "Sit down. I'll announce today's listenership rating."
"Uh, alright." Jia Yan sat down awkwardly.
Then, Zhao Guozhou looked at Zhang Ye. He had not conversed with Zhang Ye in front of others for a long time. He had not even looked at Zhang Ye in front of outsiders for the past few days. But today, for some reason, Zhao Guozhou looked at him. Furthermore, his eyes were filled with a complicated and profound meaning.
Zhang Ye did not know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a happy and gratified look in Zhao Guozhou's eyes. Zhao Guozhou was his guide, his talent scout. That day, Zhang Ye had told Zhao Guozhou in private that he would never forget it. However, it would be a lie to say that he was not angry. It was not the truth. Even if Director Zhao had been pressured by the Station Leader to knock him down, Zhang Ye could not accept it emotionally. But now, seeing Zhao Guozhou's gratified look, Zhang Ye's anger dissipated. He nodded at him.
There was a poem that was most suitable to be used here.
After all the trials and tribulations, brothers remain. A branch of red apricot blooms over the wall … Eh, that's not right. It's a smile when you meet and forget all enmity!
With this, Zhang Ye was even more puzzled about what his listenership rating was yesterday. Why did it cause Director Zhao to have such a huge change today?
"First place, Wang Xiaomei, 'Talk About the World'." Zhao Guozhou read, "Listenership rating: 3.66%. Compared to a few days ago, it has dropped. Teacher Xiaomei, the program might need to add some substance. It can't be too dry. I listened to yesterday's program. It's a little like you're living off your past achievements."
Wang Xiaomei nodded, "I'll make some improvements today."
Zhao Guozhou laughed, "Actually, the results are already very good, but you are the pillar of our channel. Everyone's expectations of you are naturally higher than others."
"I understand." Wang Xiaomei was still very modest.
"Next, let's talk about second place." Zhao Guozhou shook the form in his hand.
At this moment, many people swallowed their saliva stiffly. For example, Jia Yan, Zhang Ye, and Teacher Feng. They were all very nervous.
"'Entertainment Daily'." Zhao Guozhou said.
Wu Datao immediately beamed. He had finally gotten back second place. This could be considered a way to wash away his previous humiliation! Tian Bin and Jia Yan also heaved a sigh of relief!
But before they could rejoice for even a second, Zhao Guozhou's tone took a 180-degree turn, "'Entertainment Daily'. I want to criticize your program team, especially Wu Datao and Song Yan. These days, the two of you have been hosting the program, but the results have been dropping every day. Today's listenership rating is only 2.21%. Look at the entertainment news you have been doing for the past few days. What are they? Is there a bright spot? Is there a piece of news that everyone is paying attention to? Even if there is, it is all leftovers from others. There is no bright spot from a news-related program. How did your program team's reporters gather news clues? How did your announcers report it? There are frequent slips of the tongue in a live broadcast. Do you still want to work? "
Wu Datao immediately turned silent!
Zhao Guozhou said, "Including today, your program has been pushed out of second place for two consecutive days. Today's second place is not yours!"
It's not "Entertainment Daily"?
Then who is it? Whose program is it??
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared!
Zhao Guozhou read, "Second place, Zhang Ye's' Old and Young Story Club '. Listenership rating: 2.45%!"
"Ah?"
"Aiyah!"
"It's' Old and Young Story Club 'again?"
"It's higher than yesterday's listenership rating by 0.05?"
"Is it crazy? This program is going crazy! "
Exclamations came one after another. Tian Bin and Jia Yan were both dumbfounded!
Teacher Feng also had a look of disbelief. It can't be! It can't be! Yesterday, it was promoted by the Education Department that exploded! Why did the listenership rating increase so much today? Furthermore, it was a serialized fairy tale that everyone thought was impossible to succeed? Didn't those senior fairy tale masters prove that the serialized fairy tale format was not good? Why could Zhang Ye do it? Why could he do it?
Why?
No one knew!
Only Zhang Ye clenched his fists. A huge weight had been lifted off his chest. Great! Not only did the listenership rating not drop, it had even increased? Zhang Ye was very surprised, but he knew that it was reasonable. The Essay Competition for "Little Bunnies Be Good" had finally shown its power. The second day's explosion was only in its early stages. Only a portion of people had crazily rushed in. However, yesterday and today was the peak of the Education Department's promotion. The newspapers and television stations had all reported on it. Even though there were few mentions of Zhang Ye's purpose, with information on the internet being so developed, everyone could easily find out with a search. Hence, when the new story was broadcasted yesterday, a large portion of the listeners, who had come to listen to "Little Bunnies Be Good", had left. However, there were also many parents who came because of its fame. This caused the listenership rating to rise instead of dropping!
Of course, the most important reason was because of the story!
Zhang Ye did not bet wrongly. "The Wizard of Oz", a story that could appeal to young and old alike, had played an unexpected role. It had left behind many parents!
Zhao Guozhou pressed his hands down, "Everyone, calm down. Here, I want to praise Teacher Little Zhang. Back when he took over 'Late-night Ghost Stories', we all knew that this was the channel's worst listenership segment. It had always been in last place, but on the first day, Teacher Little Zhang took over, he pulled this segment to the channel's top three listenership, creating the history of late-night programs. Later on, 'Old and Young Story Club' became the channel's bottom-feeder segment. It did not do well for a few years. At this time, it was Little Zhang who took over. Now, everyone can see the results. Second place. It went from last place to second place! Maybe 'Old and Young Story Club' will stop broadcasting today, but I think Teacher Little Zhang's hard work spirit is worth learning from! I hope everyone can continue with one sentence! One sentence, 'Teacher Little Zhang has taught us a lesson!' He has used his actions to prove to us that there is no program that can't be done in a lifetime! "
Picking up his A4 finger, Zhao Guozhou took the lead to applaud!
Bba Bba Bba Bba. Teacher Feng was also very excited. His eyes were a little moist. He used a lot of strength to clap for Zhang Ye, so much so that his hands turned red!
What an amazing rookie!
At this moment, many of the colleagues who had opinions about Zhang Ye in the past were completely convinced!
However, Jia Yan was in a difficult position. He was extremely embarrassed. Why did the Leader's attitude change? What was the meaning of this? He was even clapping for Zhang Ye in public? Praising Zhang Ye in public? Although Zhao Guozhou had said that "Old and Young Story Club" would end today, it was worth noting that Zhao Guozhou had added a "maybe" in front of that sentence. It meant that it might end today. Did that mean that it might not end?
The listenership rankings were announced one by one.
As Zhao Guozhou was about to leave, Jia Yan rushed out to the corridor, "Director, my program on Monday …"
Zhao Guozhou was still very kind to him, "Hur Hur. Little Jia, if there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow. The Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet is still busy with preparations. I have to supervise the entire process. If there's anything, look for Old Xu first." After saying that, Zhao Guozhou took out his cellphone and walked away while making a call.
Jia Yan stood alone in the corridor, looking a bit lonely.
