The phone call in the morning had filled Zhang Ye with energy. He washed his face and went out. Today, he was the first to arrive at the unit again. After getting the key from the reception office, he went straight to the recording studio.
He was going to record a program.
And he wanted to record a few more episodes.
He stuffed a few xiaolongbao he bought on the way into his stomach. As Zhang Ye ate, he went through "The Wizard of Oz" in his mind. He needed to organize the plot, such as the ending of each chapter and the location of the main plot points. He did not need to change the text and plot, as Zhang Ye could not change them. He would not change the novel, but he could arrange the ending of the segment every day. He did not need to follow the original chapter format of "The Wizard of Oz". For example, he could stop at a place where there was a sense of anticipation to end today's program. With everyone's expectations raised, tomorrow's listenership rating might be higher. These were all technical measures.
Why did he have to go through so much trouble?
This was because Zhang Ye wanted to try and pull up the listenership rating!
His "Old and Young Story Club" now had a listenership rating of about 2.4%. It was second place in the Literature Channel. If it could go higher and break a few more records, it would be of great help to him in getting the Silver Microphone Award. When that happened, he would not be far from the mark. He had to secure this award.
"Chapter 9: Field Mouse Queen."
"The scarecrow stood beside the girl and said, 'Now, we are not far from the yellow brick road, because we have already walked almost as much as the water carried us away.' Just as the Tin Woodman was about to reply, he heard a low growl. He turned his head and saw a strange beast running towards him across the grass. "
… …
9: 30 AM.
His colleagues had been at work for half an hour.
Zhao Guozhou's appearance had changed today. He had permed his hair. As usual, he came in with the listenership rating chart, "Stop whatever you are doing. Is everyone here?"
Tian Bin looked at an empty seat, "Zhang Ye is not here."
Zhao Guozhou frowned, "Not here yet? What time is it? "
Big Sis Zhou spoke for Zhang Ye, "Little Zhang was too tired a while ago. He might be a little late. I'll give him a call." She picked up her cellphone and immediately called, but Zhang Ye's cellphone was switched off.
Jia Yan tried to stir trouble, "He's not picking up the phone?"
Big Sis Zhou glanced at him, "His phone is switched off. He might still be sleeping."
Wu Datao curled his lips, "Isn't he taking his work too lightly? You're not coming just because you say so? You're getting arrogant just because you have some achievements? Does he still respect his superiors? "
Using this as an excuse, a few of Zhang Ye's colleagues, who were on bad terms with him, began to fan the flames. Their tones were filled with a sense of urgency.
Suddenly, Zhang Ye came in from outside and heard everyone saying his name. He asked curiously, "Director, you were looking for me?" He still did not know what was going on.
Zhao Guozhou looked at him. "Why are you here so late?"
Zhang Ye said doubtfully, "No, I arrived around 7 AM in the morning." Waving the long string of keys in his hand, he said, "I opened the door with the key I got from the guard. I've been recording a show in the recording studio. I wanted to record a few more episodes today, so I came a little earlier. I didn't have to wait in line at the recording studio."
What?
Seven o 'clock?
Has he been working and recording?
Tian Bin, Jia Yan, Wu Datao and company did not look too good.
Big Sis Zhou laughed. She was mocking Tian Bin and company, while standing up for Zhang Ye, "I was wondering why Teacher Little Zhang's cellphone was switched off. So he was recording a show."
Zhao Guozhou glanced at Jia Yan and company from the corner of his eyes. Finally, he patted Zhang Ye on the shoulder in satisfaction. He smiled, "Very good, but you should take care to rest. Don't work so hard."
"Thank you, Director. I will." Zhang Ye said.
"Sit back down. I'll announce the results." Zhao Guozhou said gently.
Tian Bin noticed that Director Zhao's attitude towards Zhang Ye was becoming more and more different. His heart began to pound. He suddenly felt a sense of danger. "Late-night Ghost Stories" had just been handed over to him. "Ghost Blows Out the Light" had not finished airing yet. From the looks of it, Tian Bin still needed a long time before he could take up his post. But from the looks of things, why did he feel that he was in danger?
Zhao Guozhou began to announce the ratings.
"First place, 'Talk About the World', listenership 3.69%!"
"Second place, 'Old and Young Story Club', listenership … 2.98%!"
"Third place, 'Late-night Ghost Stories', listenership … 1.97%!"
After the top three were announced, everyone was so speechless that they did not know what to do. Some people even let out a deep gasp. It could be heard very clearly!
It was too ferocious!
Was this something that no one could stop?
"Late-night Ghost Stories" had actually appeared! It had obtained third place!
Ever since Zhang Ye had a new program, the first episode of "Old and Young Story Club" had replaced "Entertainment Daily" in second place. Ghost Stories, which had always been in third place, naturally fell back to fourth place. But now, with Wu Datao and his partner making frequent mistakes in the program, "Entertainment Daily"'s listenership continued to drop, "Late-night Ghost Stories" had even surpassed this news program. It had even reached an astonishing 1.97% listenership. Not to mention their Literature Channel, even the Central Radio Station, or all the radio stations in the country, did not have such a f * * king ridiculous late-night program! This … It was about to break 2%?
F * * k!
Was this still a late-night program?
Even a prime-time program would not be this ferocious!
Only a few colleagues who had persistently listened to "Late-night Ghost Stories" were not particularly surprised. This was because they knew that a few days ago, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" had just concluded a plot. After laying the groundwork for a new story, it had reached a thrilling climax. It was especially exciting and also very scary. This naturally pulled up the listenership ratings, ushering in a small explosion. It was not surprising that it had surpassed "Entertainment Daily".
Actually, what shocked everyone the most was the listenership ratings of "Old and Young Story Club"!
The first episode was 2.40%.
The second episode was 2.45%.
The third episode was 2.51%.
The day before yesterday was supposed to be the fourth episode, but due to the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet, it had stopped broadcasting, so it did not have any listenership ratings. The real fourth episode was moved to yesterday, which was the listenership ratings announced today!
2.98%!
This increase was too heaven-defying!
This was like riding a rocket! It flew up in an instant!
How could this be? Their channel had never had such a jump in listenership ratings before! They admitted that Zhang Ye's new story, "The Wizard of Oz", was very fascinating, but no matter how good a program or story was, it had to be a gradual process. It was impossible for it to jump without any warning, right? Eh, that's not right! Who said there were no signs? Many people understood after thinking for a while! It was the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet! It was "Shuidiao Getou" that had obtained first place that made Zhang Ye's fame rise! The live broadcast of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet happened to be when Zhang Ye's program was broadcasting. As a result, it had pushed "Old and Young Story Club" and even "Late-night Ghost Stories" to such an astonishing height!
This was 2.98%!
It was about to break 3?
In the history of the Literature Channel, only three programs had broken 3 in listenership ratings. One of them was "Talking about Storytelling" and the other was "Daily Joke". These two programs had their own historical reasons for breaking 3. Back then, television was not popular, and radio was the main focus. Later on, television was popularized and the internet was everywhere. "Talking about Storytelling" had been taken off the air six or seven years ago due to its low listenership ratings. "Daily Joke" had also been changed to a skit and crosstalk program. It could be said that they no longer existed. Today, the only program that had broken 3 in the history of the Literature Channel was Wang Xiaomei's "Talk About the World"!
But now, there might be one more!
What kind of honor was this? It was going to be recorded in the history of the Beijing Radio Station!
And "Late-night Ghost Stories" was very likely going to break records! No, it could be said that ever since "Late-night Ghost Stories" was in Zhang Ye's hands, it had been breaking records almost every day. It had created the history and miracle of the late-night Midnight segment! And this miracle was about to usher in a new peak!
Breaking 2%!
If "Ghost Blows Out the Light" could break 2%, then this would not only be creating history for the Beijing Radio Station, but it would be creating history for the late-night segments in the entire country!
A newcomer!
Two programs!
At this moment, they had reached a peak!
Zhang Ye's results made everyone somewhat envious. However, Zhang Ye was clearly not satisfied with this. It could even be said that he was far from satisfied!
He wanted to get the Silver Microphone Award!
He could not stop here. He could still climb higher. He could still go further!
