"Teacher Zhang, do it!"
Zhang Ye chuckled. "What social engagements could I possibly have? It's not like you don't know how popular I am in the entertainment industry. Besides, I've never taken on any commercial appearances before. I've just been staying at home for the past two days to look at the popularity ratings. It's rising bit by bit and I feel so comfortable watching it. I even dreamed about it just now."
Zhang Ye's popularity was also rising rapidly along with the movie. It could be seen from the Reputation Points that were sent into his game ring every day that it was increasing very quickly!
Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "Come on, I'm just a supporting character. This is nothing. Besides, this movie is just so-so. I'm just telling you that there are many parts of the movie that I'm not too satisfied with."
And right at this moment.
As long as he put in a little more effort, he would be able to replace the last person on the B-list celebrity rankings. He was just short by a little bit!
The majority of the netizens were not optimistic about Do You Remember.
+99！
"How's your show coming along?" Zhang Ye suddenly asked.
It was just half a step away!
After hanging up, Zhang Ye started to look forward to it. He had indeed been waiting for this program to be broadcast for a long time. It was now the crucial time for him to fight for the B-list spot, so he had to get it done in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if he did not manage to fight for it after this period of time, he would have to wait for the next opportunity.
And what was even more interesting was that the last person on the B-list celebrity rankings was also a host. He was a very famous host on Central TV — Chen Ye. His career had basically consisted of a few channels on Central TV. In the past, he did documentary shows, then he did interview shows, and now he was doing variety shows and large-scale gala events. He was also a newly added host for the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years. A host who could appear on the Spring Festival Gala was naturally well-known throughout the country. There were not many hosts among the A- and B-list celebrities. There were only a handful of them, and Chen Ye was one of them.
Ring, ring, ring.
"Zhang Ye, quickly take care of him! It's your turn to appear! "
"Shanshan." Zhang Ye said sleepily, "Yeah, what time is it?"
On this day.
"Wow, Host Chen is here!"
"Zhang Ye is famous for his bad temper. I wonder what he will say and if he will respond."
For Zhang Ye, who had already used up all his Reputation Points, this was no doubt a lifesaver. It was also what he really needed right now.
"Me too. I wonder how the ratings will be."
During this period of time, Grandmasters was released to the public and the box office earnings kept rising. After it crossed the 200 million mark, due to the appearance of movie piracy, the progress of the box office earnings gradually slowed down and was not as obvious as before. It was as if someone had stepped on the brakes, causing the box office earnings to shrink drastically. However, this situation was within the expectations of the producers. It was also inevitable in the film industry. It had already become a norm, and no movie could escape piracy.
Following the release of Grandmasters, Zhang Ye's popularity was also on the rise. Although it had weakened a little, the momentum of the rise did not change and was still slowly increasing. As such, Zhang Ye honestly did not know when he would be able to reach this milestone. Last night, the media had already reported that Zhang Ye could enter the B-list rankings at any time. The B-list rankings of the entertainment industry had not changed in a very long time. The birth of a new B-list celebrity was not a small matter in the entertainment industry. After all, when one reached the high level of a B-list celebrity, their every move would be closely watched by others. Only when they reached this level could they be considered a real big shot. Their performance fees and net worth would also double!
"Zhang Ye, someone is scolding you!"
+276！
On Weibo, Chen Ye actually posted a comment on the promotional Weibo for Do You Remember: "How can anyone make a show like this that no one will watch? What are they thinking! "
Zhang Ye was still dreaming when he suddenly woke up and sat up in bed. He looked left and right, then yawned and reached for his cell phone to answer the call. "Who is it?"
Many Weibo users were making a ruckus. Some were watching the commotion, while others were trying to stir up trouble. In the end, it all boiled down to one thing — those who were watching the commotion wouldn't mind it blowing up!
"The two hosts are fighting!"
+2123！
Swipe swipe swipe!
Dong Shanshan: "He's almost on the B-list?"
Later that morning.
"I find it strange too. Why is there so much publicity for such a ridiculous and stupid show? They even did not hesitate to use the time of other programs to create hype for Do You Remember's lyrics? Do You Remember's lyrics … just hearing this name makes me a little speechless. What kind of lousy show is this! "
Grandmasters' box office earnings were the highest for a domestic movie this month.
"@ ZhangYe, there's no need to thank me. Please call me Red Scarf!"
"That's why I'm disappointed in Zhang Ye. Your sister, Do You Remember's lyrics … I really can't see any selling point in this show. If the viewership ratings can exceed 0.1%, they should be thanking the Heavens!"
Zhang Ye blinked. "They borrowed the two primetime slots for the weekend? Looks like the station is placing a lot of importance on this. Alright, I'll definitely watch it tonight. I've been waiting for it for a long time! "
"Yeah, it'll be soon, but I don't know." Zhang Ye said conservatively. "There's still some distance between me and the last person. I might not be able to catch up."
"Teacher Zhang is almost on the B-list. If this show's viewership ratings were good, then with the popularity of Grandmasters, he would definitely be able to make it to the B-list. But it seems like there's no chance of that now."
Dong Shanshan said, "The box office earnings are also very good. You can be considered a movie star now and even a member of the 200 million club."
His parents had gone to work and did not leave any food for him, so Zhang Ye casually cooked a bowl of instant noodles and resumed his life as the "Instant Noodle Warrior." Then he went online to check Weibo.
Dong Shanshan smiled. "I called to tell you that the three episodes of the show have been recorded and will be airing tonight at 9 PM. Then we'll borrow the 9 PM slot tomorrow and the day after, which means we'll be airing it for three consecutive days. Then from next week onwards, we'll follow the normal time slot and air one episode every Friday at 9 PM."
"The show's introduction has already been released. It's just a competition to remember the lyrics, so how can there be anything special about it? It's all laid out in the open. "
"Has Beijing Television gone crazy? Why are they putting in so much effort? "
"This show can't be any good."
"Could there be something special about it?"
It was Dong Shanshan's voice on the other end. "What's the matter? Are you still sleeping? "
"This is a battle between the B-list contestants!"
"Come and see, they're going to start fighting!"
It was unknown if they were firing at Beijing Television or Zhang Ye!
"Let's hope so."
Initially, this promotional Weibo post did not have much popularity. But with Chen Ye's opening salvo, many Weibo users quickly came over to watch the commotion!
To the people of this world, Grandmasters might have given a boost to the domestic movies and had a very high box office earnings. But to Zhang Ye, he felt that it was still a little lacking. It was quite good to watch, but in terms of how classic it was? It couldn't be considered as it was still far from that level. Zhang Ye did not know how to make movies, but if he knew how to make movies in the future and had a chance to become a director, he would definitely bring all the masterpieces of his previous world's movies over to this world. Then, he could act as the lead and do whatever he wanted. No one would dare to criticize his Taiji Fist anymore. At that time, Zhang Ye would show everyone what a real movie was! As for now, his focus was still on the television show. He did not have the time to make a movie, at least not for this year.
"It definitely won't be bad."
"I don't think it's that simple. After all, it's Zhang Ye's program. I'm someone in the television industry, so Zhang Ye's program production ability is recognized by everyone in the industry."
Chen Ye opened fire!
"It's almost 11 PM." Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "You've been getting more popular these past few days. Have you been attending more social events? Why aren't you up yet? What time did you get home last night? "
+1032！
"Yeah, it's even three consecutive broadcasts."
It was almost 11 PM and the phones were ringing loudly!
It wasn't even a single step.
Do You Remember had already been promoting for many days, but the netizens were not very enthusiastic about it. It felt like there was still some interest, but not much.
"There's something interesting to watch!"
Dong Shanshan: "Hur hur, by the way, I just watched Grandmasters yesterday. The plot of the movie was not really to my liking and I'm not really interested in all the fighting and killing. But your acting is really good. I'm really puzzled. We're in the same class in the same university and we're taking the same classes, but the Broadcasting Department doesn't teach acting, does it? How did you learn it? You can even act like this? You can even act like the fight scenes are real? "
… …
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I learned it myself, I learned it myself."
Zhang Ye was sleeping in at home.
As for Zhang Ye's ranking on the Celebrity Rankings Index website, there had also been some changes in the past few days. In the C-list rankings, he had been quiet for a long time and had finally taken another crucial step forward. He was now at the top of the C-list rankings, No. 1! He was getting closer and closer to the B-list celebrity rankings!
"It's definitely not going to happen."
"Teacher Chen, get him!"
"Chen Ye vs. Zhang Ye!"
"Chen Ye, hurry up and step on him. Well done!"
"Chen Ye, you didn't say it hard enough!"
If Zhang Ye were to be promoted to the B-list, then without a doubt, Chen Ye would definitely be relegated to the C-list. This kind of competitive relationship was something that everyone could see. And now, with Chen Ye saying such a thing at such a crucial time, it would naturally make the netizens' imaginations run wild and start guessing!
"It's going to premiere tonight?"
