In the morning.
The sun rose.
It was not the normal working hours for most of the Central TV staff, but seven or eight people had already arrived outside the television tower. They did not go upstairs but went straight to the underground recording studio.
"Sister Qi, you're here so early?"
"Little Sun, you're here too?"
"Yeah, I left early yesterday, so I wanted to come earlier today. Seeing Director Zhang and everyone working so hard, I felt that it was quite inappropriate for me to go home and sleep by myself."
"Ahhh!"
"Yo, Sister Qi, did you catch a cold?"
"I might have caught a cold yesterday."
"I caught a cold too, so I didn't sleep well."
As they spoke, they walked towards The Voice's stage.
However, the moment they entered, they were shocked by what they saw. This place was still brightly lit, and many of the lights were still on. The stage looked very different from when they left last night. A lot of the lighting equipment had been installed on the stage, and the floor had been mostly cleaned up. Other than some construction waste piled up in the corner, the entire recording studio was clean and tidy. In the front row of the audience seats, there were many newly made passes. Other than the plastic packaging and hanging ropes, everything else was basically ready!
The progress was too fast!
This change left them a little unable to react!
And what surprised them the most was that the entire studio was not empty. There was someone else busy working on it — it was Executive Director Zhang Ye!
"Director Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Ye, who was busy working on something at his computer, suddenly looked up. When he saw them, he said in surprise, "Whoa, why are you guys here so early? Didn't you sleep?"
Ha Qiqi said with a nasal voice, "What do you mean early? It's already morning!"
"Ah? Is that so? " Zhang Ye looked at his watch and realized that it was already past 6 AM. This place was underground and there were no windows, so he did not have much sense of time after working all night.
An editor said, "What are you doing?"
Little Sun said, "Did you not sleep the whole night?"
Zhang Ye said, "I was in a daze for a while, but I'm fine." Then he called them over. "You guys came just in time. I'm working on a film, so help me out and try to get this done by today."
Ha Qiqi hurried over. "Go and rest, quickly. We'll do the rest!"
Zhang Ye did not argue as he really could not take it anymore. "Alright, I'll rest for a while. Call me if there's anything. I'll be in the makeup room at the back."
"OK, OK, OK."
"Hurry up and go."
Everyone quickly took over the mission and let Zhang Ye rest.
When Zhang Ye went backstage, he saw little Chenchen still snoring away. He covered her with a blanket that had fallen off and then lay down on a nearby sofa. He found a piece of clothing to cover himself and closed his eyes to sleep.
One hour.
Two hours.
After sleeping for about two hours, Zhang Ye woke up without even setting the alarm. After looking at his watch, he got up and went to the site again. He showed his "Iron Man" side and continued to direct the work.
"Director Zhang, why aren't you sleeping?"
"I've slept enough."
"How long has it been?"
"It's okay. Two hours of sleep is enough. Let's continue."
"But!"
"Lil 'Wang, give me the information I want."
"… Alright."
It was a new day. There was one less day until the program's broadcast. There were still five days left!
This should have been the most important time to give it their all, but perhaps because they were too tired from yesterday's work, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. Coupled with the fact that some of them had worked until past 1 PM and missed the optimal sleep period of the Chinese medical tradition of "sleep when you sleep and wake up when you wake up," they did not get much rest. As a result, many of them kept getting sick. Three of their colleagues caught a cold, while another one suffered from stomach problems. Another one had a fever and went to the hospital for a drip, so they had to take half a day off. Finally, when it was almost noon, everyone's immune system dropped due to exhaustion. Two more of them caught a cold. Although it did not cause any serious symptoms, the symptoms of dizziness and fever were starting to show. This seriously affected the progress of their work, and from the looks of it, it would get worse tomorrow and the cold would get worse.
When Zhang Ye saw that things were not going well, he quickly called for a halt. "Everyone, stop what you're doing for a moment. I want to say a few words. Lil 'Wang, I remember that there are disposable masks in the waiting room. Bring them over and let everyone put them on before we speak." This was to prevent the spread of the cold to the greatest extent possible. If it were a normal day when everyone was resting and sleeping well, they would definitely not have to worry so much. But it was not the case now. Everyone was now susceptible to infection and their immune systems were not as good as before.
The masks were brought over and everyone put them on.
Zhang Ye said, "I know that everyone is very tired right now and there are a lot of people who have caught a cold. I'm the same. If I were given a bed right now, I would sleep for the entire day and night without waking up. But that won't do. We still have a mission to complete. Our team is still shouldering a difficult mission. Anyone can fall, but we can't!"
Zhang Zuo said, "Director Zhang, we understand."
Wu Yi was also one of the people who had caught a cold. He said, "Right, we can still hold on."
Zhang Ye told everyone about something. "In the past, those who know me would know that when I was recording my talk show in Shanghai, I had to finish recording the entire episode of Zhang Ye's Talk Show in an extremely short period of time due to various reasons. At that time, I also felt that it was impossible to complete. Other programs only record one or two episodes a week, but I had to record a total of 50 episodes in four days!"
Four days?
50 episodes?!
Everyone listened carefully. They had actually heard about this matter before as they were all industry insiders, so there was bound to be some news leaked out. However, this was the first time they were hearing about the specific details. A figure of 50 episodes in four days sounded a little scary. As industry insiders, everyone knew how unbelievable it was! Zhang Ye said, "At that time, I had a headache and was very vexed.
I thought to myself, how is that possible? I definitely can't do something like that. But in the end, you all know what happened. That's right, I finished recording. I did it. I recorded from morning to night, and the next day, I recorded from morning to night. Every day, the audience in the studio changed batch after batch. I had to change three or four times a day. The staff were also taking turns to rest every day, so they had to work every day. Only I couldn't take a day off. I couldn't take a day off, so what did I rely on to finish recording the show in the end? I feel that I relied on perseverance and dedication to my work. Dedication is sometimes a very strange thing. If you let go of this thread, you really won't be able to do it. But if you never doubted that you wouldn't be able to do it from the beginning, then you would definitely be able to do it in the end! Humans are the most powerful creatures in the world, so don't ever look down on others, and don't ever look down on yourself! The energy in everyone's body is far more than you can imagine! "
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Ye looked at them. "The reason why I've said so much is to tell everyone that we can't stop. We can still push harder!"
"Understood!"
"Got it!"
"We have the perseverance!"
"Don't worry, Director Zhang! We'll definitely complete the mission! "
Everyone expressed their stance.
Zhang Ye nodded in satisfaction and asked, "So what do we do if we catch a cold?"
Ha Qiqi sniffled and answered, "Hang in there!"
Zhang Zuo said, "Carry it on with perseverance!"
Wu Yi said firmly, "Overcome the illness with perseverance!"
The slogans were getting louder and louder!
But Zhang Ye shook his head slightly.
Wasn't that right? Everyone found it strange. Then what did they rely on?
Perseverance?
Quality?
A breath from the bottom of their hearts?
Zhang Ye announced the answer and said, "What else can we do if we catch a cold? Of course we have to take flu medicine! What kind of perseverance do we rely on for something like that! "
Everyone was floored!
Oh! So all the perseverance and perseverance you talked about earlier had nothing to do with the final question!
