Nine o'clock.
Central TV Department 1's commercial ended and the logo of The Voice of China appeared on the television screen. Accompanied by a burst of music, the introductory music video started. The four coaches appeared in the music video one after another. There were also dubbing and subtitles introducing the coaches, as well as introducing the rules of the student selection.
The Voice had begun!
The first episode was officially broadcast!
At the same time, many viewers were already waiting in front of their televisions.
There were also Zhang Ye's friends, Yao Jiancai, Su Na, Tian Bin, Zhang Ye's fans, Zhang Yuanqi's fans, Chen Guang's fans, and so on and so forth. Most importantly, many of the viewers who did not think highly of The Voice were also sitting in front of their televisions at this moment. The remote control was already tuned to Central TV Department 1 as they were curious to have a look. It was even more so for those industry insiders in the television industry. Admittedly, they were boycotting Zhang Ye's new show, but it was precisely because of this that they wanted to tune in immediately. They wanted to see the flaws and failures of the show so that they could attack Zhang Ye better!
Central TV, Beijing Television, and Shanghai Satellite TV had all turned their attention to him!
Tens of thousands of people were watching.
It was also the doubt of many.
"It's starting, it's starting!"
"Didn't they say they were going to stop broadcasting?"
"Yeah, why is it being broadcasted?"
"Rumors, right?"
"Let's watch the show first. I'm afraid the quality of the show doesn't bode well for us!"
"I can't wait!"
"Let's see what kind of program Teacher Zhang has come up with this time!"
"Hehe, it would be a wonder if he's doing well!"
"The Voice is just a joke!"
Amidst the chaos, the first episode of The Voice kicked off!
…
Beijing Television Station.
In a certain program team of the variety channel.
The television in the office was still on. Seeing that the leader was not around, the staff on the night shift switched the channel to Central TV Department 1 to catch a glimpse of The Voice of China, which had been the hottest topic recently.
"He's here."
"The introduction is over!"
"Why are you looking at this? A host of Central TV Department 1's Thursday night slot had a problem, and The Voice had been brought in at the last minute to save the situation. It had only been a little more than half a month, and they were going to make a large-scale variety talent show? Isn't this a joke? Which team in the industry can do it? "
"Yeah, not to mention twenty days, even two months wouldn't be enough! For a large-scale variety show like this, the minimum preparation time is at least three months to half a year. It would already be pretty good if they could just barely set up the stage, let alone the stage effects. Zhang Ye too. How great was it when he first came to our Beijing Television? Look at him now. He was forced to do something beyond his capabilities and rushed onto the air before he could even finish preparing for the program. So don't look forward to it anymore. It's hopeless! "
Everyone expressed their opinions.
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera had already zoomed in on the studio!
All the lights were turned on, and the entire stage was lit up. Amidst the cheers of the audience, the stage lights changed again!
"I want to fly to the sky and stand beside the sun. The world is waiting for me to change it …"
"I've never been afraid of others seeing my dreams. I can make them come true here!"
"Laugh loudly. Let's stand side by side. Where can't there be endless joy?"
"Throw away your worries and stride forward bravely. I'm standing in the middle of the stage!"
Chen Guang!
Fan Wenli!
Zhang Xia!
Zhang Yuanqi!
The four coaches made a stunning appearance. A new song ignited the entire studio!
"I believe that I am who I am. I believe in tomorrow. I believe that youth has no horizon. At the beach at sunset, on the bustling streets, it's the most beautiful paradise in my heart!"
Silence.
The Beijing Television Variety Channel's office suddenly fell silent!
A woman said, "This …"
A youth stared blankly at the television and said, "Who was the one who said that it would be good if they could just barely set up the stage?"
The girl who said that earlier was speechless!
A middle-aged man said in surprise, "Did they just barely set it up? This stage, this equipment, this sound effects, this lighting, holy shit! How could this be something that could be completed in just twenty days! Does Zhang Ye really have three heads and six arms? In just over half a month, he managed to complete a task that others might not even be able to complete in several months? And he even made the stage look so gorgeous? It's so high-end? Does everyone on their program team have eight arms?! "
That girl finally spoke up after holding it in for a long time. "Zhang Ye and his team really gave it their all. I'm really wondering how they managed to do it!"
They were also in the business of making programs, so they naturally knew more about the workings of the industry than the average person. They knew how impossible this was, so it was because of this understanding that many of the industry insiders were even more pessimistic about this show than the average person. But who could have expected that the reality was completely different from what many industry insiders had predicted! Honestly, if they were in Zhang Ye and his team's shoes, would they be able to set up such a huge stage and complete the contestant selection process in just twenty days? The answer was a definite yes!
They couldn't!
It was simply impossible!
No other team in the entire country would dare to pat their chest and say that they could do it too!
…
At the train station.
Many passengers were sitting in front of the big screen waiting for the train.
"What the heck! How much did they spend on this stage! "
"This stage, this lighting, why do I feel like I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala!"
"When did Central TV become so generous? They've really put in a lot of money! "
"How awesome! The stage and sound effects are so great! "
"Listen to this song!"
"It's so good!"
"This song is so awesome! It makes my blood boil just listening to it! "
"Eh, this opening of The Voice doesn't seem to be as bad as everyone said!"
"Yeah, let's keep watching. I wonder how it'll turn out after that!"
The opening song ended!
Zhang Ye took the stage!
… …
Beijing.
In a private room of a restaurant.
There was a small gathering here today. Zhang Ye's former colleague from Beijing Radio Station, the famous radio host Wang Xiaomei, was there. Beside her were many of her college classmates. These people had all graduated from the broadcasting major and were now working in the broadcasting industry. Some of them were hosts at local television stations, while others were radio broadcasters. There were even some who had become live DJs at small events.
Wang Xiaomei suddenly called for a waiter. "Can you switch on the television?"
"Sure." The waitress immediately switched on the television in the private room. The moment it was switched on, it was Central TV Department 1. This was the default channel for many televisions.
On the screen, Zhang Ye was introducing the coaches.
A youth asked, "Xiaomei, you still watch talent shows?"
Wang Xiaomei smiled. "I'm curious."
A girl blinked. "Curious about what?"
Wang Xiaomei said, "I want to see how Zhang Ye will host a talent show."
A bearded youth said, "How else can he host a talent show? I've also done similar shows before, but don't even mention it. Being a host on such a show is really torturous. There's no sense of presence at all and it's very awkward on and off the stage. All he has to do is announce and talk about the commercials. What else can he do? "
"Yeah."
"It's the same no matter who goes on."
Wang Xiaomei said calmly, "That might not necessarily be the case. I used to be colleagues with Zhang Ye, so I understand him quite well. If it were any other host on a talent show, they would probably just be a supporting character and do the announcing. But Zhang Ye won't do that. He's not someone who can honestly be a supporting character. But I don't know what he will do now. Just like what you guys said, a talent show like this doesn't give the host much room to perform."
That girl said, "There's no room to perform at all. He'll just announce and talk about the commercials. What can he do?"
The bearded youth said, "Xiaomei, aren't you thinking too highly of Zhang Ye? We're all from the broadcasting major, so our broadcasting standards are about the same. It's only because Zhang Ye has an advantage in terms of talent that he managed to get so far this year. If we're just talking about the basics of broadcasting, none of us here are worse than him. "
Another youth chuckled and said, "That's true."
The short-haired youth who was standing at the door said, "We're all from the broadcasting major, so how can we be any worse than each other? The reason why Central TV chose Zhang Ye over anyone else was because of his program planning skills and not because of his hosting abilities. If we're really talking about hosting skills, Central TV has so many hosts, so why would they need Zhang Ye? Not to mention a talent show like this, even if it were me, I would do the same. In fact, I might even do it better than him. "
"Hur hur, who doesn't know how to do the commercials?" the bearded youth said.
That female voice mocked, "If you can't do the commercials well, then don't even think about it anymore!"
On TV, Zhang Ye was standing in the middle of the stage.
"Hello, everyone. I'm your host, Zhang Ye.
"Today, eight students have come to our stage. Who are they? What kind of voices will they have? What kind of songs will they bring with them? Alright, next up is the segment that everyone is most looking forward to — the commercials! "
At the table, the bearded youth who was drinking water nearly spat it out.
Pfft!
Why am I looking forward to the commercials!
Just as everyone was about to make fun of him, a scene that shocked these broadcasting majors and the entire world's citizens appeared!
On the screen, Zhang Ye took a deep breath and said, "I won't be accepting any gifts this year. I'll be accepting gifts from Brain Gold. There's no need to watch TV this year. If you want to watch TV, watch The Voice of China's authentic health products The Voice of China's authentic health products. Welcome to The Voice of China's The Voice of China's exclusive title sponsorship program, Brain Gold. Drink Zhoushan mineral water and cheer for The Voice of China. The four proud disciples of this year's Voice of China's coaches will embark on their musical dreams at Zhoushan mineral water. Thank you to Beijing's Dahua Hotel for providing hotel sponsorship for The Voice of China's coaches! "
Wang Xiaomei was dumbfounded!
The bearded youth was dumbfounded!
The short-haired youth who was picking up food with his chopsticks was dumbfounded!
The waitress who had just entered the private room and was pouring water for the guests stared at the TV screen in astonishment. She was also dumbfounded!
"Oh my god!"
"Holy shit!"
"This!"
One by one, they were all dumbfounded!
You're way too f * cking fast!
Are you f * cking injected with chicken blood?!
How many seconds has it been? This was all done in a single breath! You actually recited so many advertising messages without even looking at the script and even said every word clearly??
The waitress couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this too amazing?" After pouring the water, she jogged out and said to everyone she met, "Quick, watch The Voice! That host is too amazing! "
Amazing?
Was it just amazing?
In the private room, Wang Xiaomei and the others did not say a word. As a broadcaster, they had all practiced these basic skills before. They had gone off-script training and had even learned crosstalk and speed recital just to train their eloquence. However, people always had a limit, and everyone's limit was more or less the same, so it wouldn't fluctuate too much. When they were still in school, the most amazing person they had seen could only recite a 100 word script at the fastest speed possible, which was only six words per second. That was already a speed that shocked everyone and left them in the dust!
But what about Zhang Ye?
What about his commercial?
He had said at least a dozen words in a second!!
This was the fastest speed they had ever heard of a host speaking, and it was even more than double that!
When this data was displayed, the difference was too obvious. Amazing? This isn't something that's f * cking amazing anymore! This was a freak! This was a crushing victory over all the other hosts in the country and even overseas!
Wang Xiaomei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had guessed the ending correctly, but not the process. She suddenly said, "That kind of speaking speed, is there anyone in the hosting world who can do it?"
The girl gasped and said, "Impossible!"
Another female voice added, "It's absolutely impossible!"
The bearded youth smiled wryly, "Other than him, there's definitely no one else who can do it!"
"F * * k!" The short-haired youth choked out, "Is this Zhang Ye even human!?"
Previously, they were still laughing and teasing him, saying a bunch of things.
Anyone else could do it?
A commercial could even go to the heavens?
Zhang Ye had relied on his planning skills to get the hosting job?
Everyone was a professional, so their broadcasting standards were about the same?
Now that they thought about it, they all blushed. Their faces revealed a look of embarrassment. This hosting job, no one else could do it! He had really f * * king talked the commercial to the heavens and came up with new tricks! They did not rely on their proximity to get onto Central TV ahead of the others. As professional broadcasting hosts in the industry, not all of them were the same. There were also those who were superior and those who were inferior!
With Zhang Ye's glib tongue, no one could f * * king do it!
This was Zhang Ye's debut show on Central TV, and also his first time stepping onto such a big stage as a host. But in this first performance, Zhang Ye had taught all those hosts and industry insiders who doubted him a lesson. Just this unique skill of Zhang Ye's, in addition to his previous experience at the local and online television channels, was enough to establish him as one of the top television hosts in the country. No one could shake him from his position!
What a Zhang Ye!
So it turned out that they were the frogs in the well!
Wang Xiaomei's college classmates, who were disapproving of Zhang Ye's talent show hosting, finally understood for the first time why they were still struggling at the bottom of the ladder, depressed because they couldn't get a chance to get on a satellite channel, while Zhang Ye had already established himself at Central TV Department 1!
The difference in talent?
Not only that!
Even their basic broadcasting skills were far inferior to Zhang Ye's!
