Saturday.
There were only a few people who came to work.
Zhang Ye was one of them. As he had taken a day off from Wednesday to today, he definitely had to work overtime. However, the other colleagues had worked overtime the previous week, so they had taken a day off.
The office phone rang.
Zhang Ye noticed that a few editors and clerks were busy, so he picked it up, "Hello, how are you? This is the Literature Channel."
"Little Zhang? I'm Zhao Guozhou. "The phone call was from Director Zhao," I was looking for you. Come to my office. "
"Alright." Zhang Ye went over after putting down the phone. He knocked on the Director's office door. Zhao Guozhou was reading the listenership ratings, "You were looking for me?"
"Come, sit down." Zhao Guozhou pressed his hand down, "See for yourself."
The moment Zhang Ye sat down, he saw the other party hand him a table. It was Friday's listenership rankings. "Late-night Ghost Stories" had dropped to 1.9. Clearly, there was no way for it to go up. It was difficult for it to go up. After all, it was a late-night segment with limited listenership. This was not surprising, but "Old and Young Story Club"'s listenership ratings made Zhang Ye pleasantly surprised. It had increased once again!
The listenership rating was 3.31%!
As for first place, "Talk About the World", it was only 3.63%!
With one dropping and one rising, the two segments' listenership ratings had shrunk once again!
This was something that had never happened before. No one had ever pushed the number one Wang Xiaomei's segment to such an extent!
Zhao Guozhou said, "Maybe because many schools are on holiday on Friday afternoon, your segment's numbers have been pulled up by a large margin. Even the Station Leader has been alerted. Well done, Little Zhang. I knew I wasn't wrong about you." Following that, he said, "I just looked at today's program schedule. Following that, he said, "I just looked at today's program schedule. Your next program after 1 PM is' Weekend Laughing Forest '. You should be familiar with this program. Usually, it doesn't have a host and only broadcasts some skits and crosstalk that were purchased. But due to the lack of skits and crosstalk, there are too few good works. For the past few weeks,' Weekend Laughing Forest 'has been rebroadcasting old skits and has lost a lot of listeners. It has also been criticized by many, so this weekend, I would like to pause the broadcast of' Weekend Laughing Forest 'and leave the 1 PM to 2 PM slot for you."
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Is this appropriate?"
"It's only this weekend. Can your story keep up?" Zhao Guozhou asked.
"I'm fine with it. If you give me a total of four hours of broadcasting today and tomorrow, 'The Wizard of Oz' will definitely finish by the weekend." Zhang Ye said.
Zhao Guozhou knocked on the table and thought for a moment. "Alright, then it's settled. I've given you the opportunity, but whether you can grasp it or not is up to you."
Zhang Ye promised, "Thank you, Leader. I will do my best!"
Zhao Guozhou said, "Go to the recording studio and settle it as soon as possible."
…
Walking into Recording Studio 4, Zhang Ye once again felt a surge of energy in his body. He felt like he had an inexhaustible amount of energy. He quickly went to record the weekend program. This was an excellent opportunity. It was also the first time he saw a slim chance of surpassing Wang Xiaomei. Although he knew it was too difficult and almost unrealistic, Zhang Ye still wanted to give it a try. For his qualifications, for the Silver Microphone Awards, and to enter the television station!
The recording began.
"Hello everyone. There are some last-minute adjustments to tomorrow's program. From 12 AM to 2 PM, 'Old and Young Story Club' will be broadcasting, so please do not change channels. After 1 PM, there will be a short advertisement, and then 'The Wizard of Oz' will continue broadcasting. This weekend, 'The Wizard of Oz' will also come to an end. I hope everyone will tune in on time." After adding a paragraph, Zhang Ye began recording.
Until the afternoon, he finally finished recording all of "The Wizard of Oz".
After coming out, he wanted to find Zhao Guozhou to ask about the listenership ratings, but he did not see him. The Leader seemed to have knocked off, so he had no choice but to wait until Monday.
…
Sunday was a day off.
The listenership ratings were not out, so the announcement was postponed.
…
Monday.
Today seemed destined to be a day that would go down in the history of the Literature Channel.
Zhang Ye got off the subway and met Wang Xiaomei, who had been recognized by two male fans. Teacher Xiaomei was giving autographs to the fans.
"Thank you, Teacher Xiaomei."
"You're welcome. Is that okay?"
"Can we take another photo together? I especially like your 'Talk About the World'! "
"Next time. I came to work late today, so I'm going to be late."
Seeing Wang Xiaomei cross the road, Zhang Ye quickly walked over, "Teacher Wang."
Wang Xiaomei turned around and saw him. She acknowledged, "I heard that your program's listenership ratings increased again on Friday? 3.31%, right? Not bad. "
Zhang Ye said, "The children have more rest on Friday, so they went up."
Wang Xiaomei said, "Then won't they rest more on Saturday? Also, the parents don't go to work. "
"Uh, I don't know. It's naturally best if it can increase a little more." Zhang Ye said casually.
However, Wang Xiaomei said, "All the best. It's not that easy to surpass my listenership ratings." Her tone had a tinge of sarcasm to it. After saying that, she left.
Zhang Ye smiled bitterly.
In the unit's office, the atmosphere today was especially strange.
"Did you hear? 'Old and Young Story Club's' listenership ratings on Friday reached 3.31%! "
"I already knew about it the day before yesterday. It's too exaggerated!"
"Do you think Teacher Little Zhang can really reach the top of our channel?"
"It should be a coincidence. I don't think so. Teacher Xiaomei has been a top sister for so many years. Her program's foundation is deep, so she won't be beaten down."
"But Teacher Little Zhang is too fierce. He's already chasing up to 0.3%. And I heard that he was given an extra hour of broadcast time over the weekend. He stopped 'Weekend Laughing Forest' for two episodes. There are many people resting over the weekend, so the afternoon slot can completely match the primetime slot at night!"
"That's also impossible."
"Right, Teacher Xiaomei is not to be trifled with."
Everyone was discussing this matter. Only when they saw Wang Xiaomei arrive did they stop talking. Following closely behind, Zhang Ye, who had arrived at the unit, received everyone's attention. For a full half an hour, the office was extremely quiet. No one spoke. Everyone was absent-minded and did not have the mood to work. Today was the Literature Channel's battle for the top brother and sister. Even if it had nothing to do with them, they could not hold back their curiosity.
Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Director."
"Leader."
Zhao Guozhou came, "Yes."
This time, there was no need for him to say anything. Everyone stopped working and looked over in unison.
On the contrary, Wang Xiaomei and Zhang Ye, the two people involved, did not have many changes in their expressions compared to today's protagonists. They appeared very indifferent.
Zhao Guozhou looked at the listenership ratings in his hand. His eyes looked very complicated, "Let me first announce the listenership ratings for Saturday's program. There are many things to do today, so I won't announce them all. I'll announce the top three." He looked up at everyone, "First place, 'Talk About the World'. Listenership: 3.81%!"
3.81%?
Teacher Xiaomei was indeed not easy to deal with!
Over the past few days, "Talk About the World"'s listenership ratings had been dropping, causing Zhang Ye to catch up. Everyone was still worried for Wang Xiaomei, but with today's results, everyone understood that Zhang Ye had no chance. Teacher Xiaomei had turned serious!
"Second place, 'Old and Young Story Club'. Listenership … 3.55%!"
Holy sh * t! Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air! Another 0.2% increase?
Teacher Xiaomei had exploded, and Teacher Little Zhang was not to be outdone? However, it was still lacking. "Old and Young Story Club" definitely could not catch up!
Indeed, Zhao Guozhou said, "Next, I'll announce the listenership ratings for Sunday's segment." Upon saying this, Zhao Guozhou glanced at Wang Xiaomei and Zhang Ye, "Teacher Xiaomei's' Talk About the World '. Listenership is still 3.81%!"
Big Sis Zhou sighed and whispered, "Little Zhang, there are still chances in the future."
Auntie Sun also comforted Zhang Ye, "Don't be discouraged. It's already very impressive to be second. Don't compare with 'Talk About the World'. It's not embarrassing to not be able to compare."
Zhang Ye smiled, "It's fine." However, he did not give up. This was because he noticed that although Zhao Guozhou had first announced Wang Xiaomei's listenership ratings, he did not say if she was first. On Sunday, the last word of "The Wizard of Oz" came to an end. It was the climax of the entire story. With another two-hour segment, Zhang Ye believed that even if he did not get first place, his listenership ratings would be much higher than Saturday's!
It was not over yet!
He still had a chance!
Zhang Ye was not confident in himself. He was confident in his story. This was "The Wizard of Oz", one of the greatest fairy tales of his world!
Tian Bin looked at Zhang Ye in amusement. He thought to himself, "You really want to fight for first place? You really want to surpass "Talk About the World"? You sure are amusing! "
Jia Yan and Wu Datao, who were beside him, could tell from their eyes that Zhang Ye was indulging in fantasy.
Alright!
The outcome was set!
Do whatever you need to do!
With the result, no one was in the mood to listen.
However, Zhao Guozhou's next sentence stunned everyone. Zhao Guozhou looked at everyone and said, "But Sunday's first place was not 'Talk About the World'." As countless people stared with their eyes and mouths agape, Zhao Guozhou said, "First place, Zhang Ye's' Old and Young Story Club '. Listenership rating … 3.82%!"
What?
It was higher than "Talk About the World" by 0.01%?
With a whoosh, it was as if a bomb had been dropped on the entire office! It exploded in an instant!
Tian Bin was dumbfounded! Jia Yan's eyes stared like a cow's! Big Sis Zhou was so shocked that she let out a long 'ah'! The other colleagues were also more shocked than the other!
Zhang Ye had reached the top!
Zhang Ye had actually reached the top!
Although the difference was negligible! But first place was first place!
No one could understand how Zhang Ye did it! No one could understand why "The Wizard of Oz" had such magical powers! But the truth was right in front of them! This rookie, Zhang Ye, had used a losers' segment that had always been at the bottom to pull Wang Xiaomei's Celebrity segment down from its pedestal!
From last place to first place!
Zhang Ye had only used less than two weeks to do this!
Holy sh * t! Where did this Zhang Ye come from!?
