At the recording studio.
The audience in the audience was boiling with excitement!
"Quick, look at this!"
"Quick, look at Zhang Ye's Weibo!"
"Oh my God! Teacher Zhang is still as unafraid of offending people as ever! "
Ha Qiqi's hand that was holding her cell phone trembled!
Zhang Zuo, Wu Yi, and the others also turned around to look at Zhang Ye with shock in their eyes!
...
This poem had gone viral!
The moment it appeared on Weibo, countless netizens got goosebumps!
"Damn!"
"What's the explanation? There's no explanation? "
"This poem is so cool!"
"The first few lines weren't much, but the last part is amazing!"
"This is the real Zhang Ye!"
"Yeah, this is Zhang Ye!"
"Awesome!"
"It's fine if Teacher Zhang doesn't make a move, but when he does, it's earth-shattering! He's trampling on all the other shows in the industry! He's declaring war on the entire variety show industry! "
"In the entire entertainment circle, only Zhang Ye would dare to say something like that!"
"Teacher Zhang has disappeared from Weibo for so long that I even thought that he had changed. But seeing it today, hahaha, Zhang Ye is still the Zhang Ye I know!"
After seeing this poem, many people were quite shocked. Zhang Ye had not written a poem in a long time, but when he suddenly wrote one, it was enough to shake the literary world. Everyone was no stranger to Zhang Ye's poems. They had seen him write delicate love poems and sharp satirical poems before, but for him to write an ancient poem of this style, it was still very rare for them to see it. Seeing it today, it was really an eye-opener for them. Zhang Ye could really write any kind of poem!
Zhang Ye had never been one to play by the rules. The more others thought that he would do it, the more he refused to do so. Explain the situation to you all? Explain the reason to you all? There was no need for that at all! This was a famous poem by Du Fu from Zhang Ye's previous world, "Gazing at the Mountains." There were a total of three ancient poems, and Zhang Ye had chosen one of them. It was also the most famous poem that everyone in his previous world knew about. Du Fu's poem might have been intended to convey a different meaning, but when Zhang Ye brought it out at this time and place, it had a completely different meaning!
It was a kind of domineering arrogance!
This poem was better than a thousand words. Zhang Ye had expressed everything he wanted to say in it. You can collectively boycott me, or denounce me, but my new program and I are destined to reach the peak of the variety world. We will look down on all of you!
He would ascend to the top!
Overlooking all the mountains!
"How domineering!"
"Well said!"
"Teacher Zhang, you can do it!"
"Zhang Ye! We support you! "
"A bunch of clowns. Haha, Teacher Zhang doesn't even care about them!"
Zhang Ye's fans had all come out!
At the same time, those who were boycotting Zhang Ye were also fuming. They had thought that Zhang Ye would explain or keep quiet, but who would have thought that he would throw out such a condescending ancient poem. He did not have the slightest bit of respect for his peers!
"Overlook all the mountains? Zhang Ye! Aren't you a little too arrogant? "
"Your new program should be satisfied with 0.6% of the viewership ratings. This broadcast was rushed, and if there were any mistakes, it might not even reach 0.5% of the viewership ratings. Do you still want to climb to the top of the variety industry? And to look down on all the variety shows? Are you still dreaming? Don't you have any objective judgment of your own program? With just a little analysis, you will know that The Voice of China is just a niche program that takes an unconventional approach. The majority of the people will not be able to accept it! "
"Zhang Ye, don't be too confident of yourself!"
"You're really talking big! Ha! Let's see what you can do after today's broadcast! "
"I admit that your previous programs were very unique and the viewership ratings were also very good, but The Voice is definitely your biggest failure. Didn't you say you wanted to ascend to the top? Alright then, if you don't believe me, let's wait and see. I want to see how much viewership ratings your confident new program can achieve in the end! "
"Hur, let The Voice's viewership ratings surpass mine first!"
"Director Zhao, your program's viewership ratings are 0.75! What's there to surpass! He's only good at talking big! He only knows how to talk big! "
"I just find it funny right now. The ignorant are truly fearless. We've all been in the variety industry for so many years. The more we're in this industry, the more we should be in awe and know our own shortcomings and limitations. But look at Zhang Ye. He's not considered a newcomer, yet he's still so full of himself. How can he ascend to the top? You're just a singing program's host. Your job is to announce and advertise, so how can you ascend to the top?! "
"This fellow is really infuriating!"
"Don't just talk without action! Show us your true skills in the viewership ratings! "
"Right! Don't you want to look down on all the variety shows? Let's compare the viewership ratings then! "
The industry peers started to accuse and criticize Zhang Ye. Some of those who did not participate in the boycott against Zhang Ye were so angry that they jumped out after seeing the poem!
The flames of war were burning!
Zhang Ye had poked a hornet's nest!
… …
On the other end.
Little Wang said passionately, "Director Zhang, this poem is too mighty!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "It's not too bad."
Chen Guang, who was testing the microphone at the coach's seat, also saw the poem on Weibo. He looked up and gave Zhang Ye a thumbs up from afar.
Backstage, Coach Fan Wenli came up to him. "Director Zhang, you wrote another poem?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Did you see it?"
"I saw it while you were getting your makeup done. The more I read it, the more I liked it. Your literary talent is definitely within the top ten in the country!" Fan Wenli evaluated, "If not for the fact that you're still too young, and that there are still so many literary masters who are still alive and well, no one would have any objections if I said that you're the best in the country!"
In the field of poetry and couplets, if Zhang Ye said that he was the second best, no one would dare to say that they were the best in the country. However, literature was more of a comprehensive nature. Not only did you have to have the qualifications and works, you also had to win awards and get the recognition of an authoritative organization. In terms of novels, Zhang Ye had not written anything that was too literary. Ghost Blows Out the Light and Legend of Wukong were both web novels. Coupled with the fact that Zhang Ye had debuted late and had yet to participate in any awards, he naturally did not have that many qualifications. Fan Wenli's conservative evaluation of him as one of the top ten in the country was already very praiseworthy.
Zhang Ye waved it off. "I'm not worthy of that."
But Ha Qiqi's face was filled with worry. Seeing those other industry peers slandering The Voice and even saying that they wanted their program to be taken off the air, Ha Qiqi was filled with anger. She wished she could go up and scold them, but even though she was angry, she did not expect that Zhang Ye would write such a poem on the spot. This was no longer a counterattack, but a declaration of war against all the variety shows. "Director Zhang, if you say that, won't you offend too many people?"
"Is it?" Zhang Ye said with an indifferent look.
Ha Qiqi: "…"
Zhang Zuo: "…"
Is it? What do you think!
The program team of The Voice was planning to offend all of their industry peers! They were completely looking down on the "heroes of the world"! If it were some small programs that did not have high viewership ratings, then so be it. After all, they were Central TV Department 1. Against some small programs from the local stations or satellite channels that had lower viewership ratings and less investment, they still had some confidence. However, Zhang Ye's attack was aimed at all the variety shows. There were still outstanding programs with viewership ratings of 0.8% and 0.9%, and even popular programs with viewership ratings of 1.0% and 1.1%! Would their bold words of "Looking down at the world from a single glance" really work? Would it really not be a problem? Besides, wouldn't all of the variety shows under Central TV be dragged into this as well?
But somehow, Zhang Ye did not feel that it was a big deal. In the eyes of others, this might not be a big deal, but he was already used to it. It wasn't like he had fought with his industry peers for a day or two. When he was in the broadcasting world, he fought with the broadcasting world. When he was in the literary world, he fought with the literary world. When he was in the crosstalk world, he fought with the crosstalk world. So this time, when he was in the variety show industry, it really wasn't Zhang Ye's style to not fight at all!
Zhang Zuo hurriedly said, "Aren't our words … aren't our words a little too exaggerated?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Why? Are you not confident? "
"It's not that I'm not confident. I'm just afraid that those people will use your poem to attack us in the end." Zhang Zuo said, "When the viewership ratings are out, even if our viewership ratings are already very high, there will still be other variety shows in the industry that have higher viewership ratings than ours during the same period. Wouldn't that just be giving those industry peers something to use against them? They will definitely say, 'Didn't you say that you want to look down on all the heroes of the world? Why is it that your viewership ratings are not as high as XXX?' Then how do you think we should answer that?"
Ha Qiqi nodded. She was also worried about this.
But Zhang Ye blinked a few times and actually asked, "Why is it that there will always be other variety shows in the industry that have higher viewership ratings than ours during the same period?"
Zhang Zuo was taken aback. "Ah?"
Ha Qiqi was also taken aback. "What other reason is there? There will definitely be shows that have higher viewership ratings than ours. Like the reality show that was broadcast at the beginning of the year that was bought over by a foreign country. Their viewership ratings averaged 1.4%, and there's also a show that has a viewership rating of 1.3%! "
Zhang Ye asked again, "Why do you guys think that their viewership ratings will be higher than ours?"
When Zhang Zuo heard that, he said in shock, "Don't tell me that you really want our The Voice of China to surpass all the other variety shows that are being broadcast at the same time period?"
When he said that, many of the program team staff around him looked over in shock.
Zhang Ye smiled and corrected them. "It's not that I want to, but that I can definitely do it!"
Wu Yi was dumbfounded. "Don't tease us, we're not very brave!"
Little Wang said hoarsely, "Teacher Zhang, y-you're serious?"
A female editor said in a dumbfounded manner, "Didn't we set a viewership rating of 0.7%? Why did it change again? "
"0.7% was the target that the station set for us." Zhang Ye said calmly, "But it wasn't set by me. My expectations were much higher than that!"
Everyone was speechless!
0.7% was still considered low? How many variety shows in the country right now could exceed 0.7% viewership ratings! Probably only a dozen or so, right? Even higher than your expectations? What do you mean by much higher? Can you not be joking, Director Zhang! This is a show that the majority of people are not optimistic about! If we can achieve the 0.7% viewership rating that the station set for us, then we'll be satisfied! That's already creating a legend!
Everyone could not understand why Zhang Ye was so confident.
When Zhang Ye saw their doubts, he did not get angry. He said, "I know that everyone has their doubts, but that's because you all have not seen the actual recording process of the show yet. There are some details that I did not explain to everyone and did not include in the program proposal." He smiled and said, "For example, the segment where I will be the host."
Ha Qiqi said dumbfoundedly, "The host segment?"
Little Wang said, "Aren't we talking about the advertising lines?"
Zhang Zuo said, "You want to add in the hosting lines at the last minute? Haven't you already decided on the lines? Is it too late to change them now? "
Everyone had seen Zhang Ye's host scripts before and they had all been written out by Zhang Ye. No one found anything special about them, so what other tricks could there be?
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "The lines haven't been changed."
Ha Qiqi said, "Then why did you say …"
Zhang Ye said, "You'll know in a while."
