The second episode was on fire!
The Voice was on fire again!
From the 9 PM broadcast to the 10: 30 PM broadcast, the number of comments and Weibo posts related to The Voice could be clearly seen on the Internet soaring. If one were to draw a curve based on the data, it might have been a curve of 10 to 20 degrees in the beginning, but from 9 PM onwards, the curve was already a straight line upwards of 90 degrees. The entire Internet had once again become a feast of "The Voice." Countless people once again went crazy and screamed for The Voice!
"The second episode was so good!"
"I love Yuan Tong!"
"Who cares about Yuan Tong!"
"Yeah, Grandpa Zhou is the awesome one!"
"Crazy your ass, I like Grandpa Zhou so much!"
"This is crazy! Grandpa Zhou's rock is too crazy! I'm giving him countless Likes! "
"This episode was really awesome! Who the fuck said that the second episode of The Voice might not be as good as everyone expected? It was clearly a surprise, alright! It was clearly as awesome as the first episode, alright! I knew it. Teacher Zhang Ye would never disappoint us! Why? There's no why! It's because his name is Zhang Ye! This name is a guarantee of quality. This name is synonymous with miracles! "
"After watching so many of Zhang Ye's programs, Lecture Room, Talk Show, The Voice, I'm finding that Zhang Ye is really amazing!"
"I've heard of Zhang Ye's name before and know a little about him. This time, I've really fallen in love with him because of The Voice. But I heard that his reputation isn't that good?"
"Pfft, it's more than not very good!"
"Haha, does Teacher Zhang have a good reputation?"
"He's always fighting with his peers, so a lot of people in the industry can't wait to kill him. That's why it would be a wonder if they have a good evaluation of Zhang Ye. But to us commoners, Zhang Ye is really a good person. He's loyal, honest, capable, and dares to do what he says. Let me put it to you this way, my friend. In the entertainment circle, literature circle, education circle, and crosstalk circle, Zhang Ye is the only one who has scolded or offended more than half of his peers and is still doing well. No one can do anything about this fellow! Just think about it. Looking at it from this angle, you can see how capable Zhang Ye is. If it were any other celebrity, not to mention offending so many industry peers and industry insiders, even if they offended just one industry, they would have already died many times over! Only Zhang Ye is an exception. That's why a lot of people say that he's an oddity in the entertainment industry. That's because this fellow is truly too weird! "
"The Voice has really reached the pinnacle!"
"With the release of the second episode, no one will doubt The Voice anymore, right? Now, I can't even find the slightest reason to doubt it! "
"Face-smacking Zhang is smacking faces again!"
"I feel sorry for those industry insiders!"
"Hehe, that might not necessarily be the case. Many of our peers have a death grudge against Zhang Ye and will hate him for life, so they won't give up just because of this. I reckon that there are still a lot of them who haven't given up yet. They're definitely waiting for the viewership ratings for the second episode of The Voice. After all, the numbers are the most accurate!"
"I'm also waiting!"
"I wonder how many viewership ratings there will be for the second episode."
"The Voice is currently leading the pack. If there's anyone who can break the nationwide viewership ratings record of The Voice's first episode for the past three years, then it's probably only The Voice itself!"
… …
The next day.
Central TV Tower.
At The Voice's program team office.
When Zhang Ye arrived, almost all of his colleagues in the office were already there. Everyone had arrived very early today and were gathered in groups of twos and threes to discuss yesterday's broadcast. Actually, the second episode had already been recorded a few days ago. Even the blind auditions for the third and fourth episodes had already been recorded. The program team staff were also there to watch it. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so excited when it was time for the broadcast, but the truth was that the feeling and atmosphere of watching it live and watching it on television was completely different. The broadcast on television had gone through some post-production, such as the contestants' intro clips and confessions, or the editing of the rhythm of the show, so that the final product would be completely different from the live recording. Coupled with the deliberate embellishment, the quality and atmosphere of the broadcast had been raised by several levels. As a result, the staff were very excited to watch it, especially when it came to Zhou Danian's segment. Many of them cried watching it and felt that it was especially touching.
"Director Zhang!"
"You're here?"
"Good morning, Director Zhang."
The few of them greeted him.
Ha Qiqi came up to him and said, "Director Zhang, the post-production for yesterday's episode was really well done!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "If you followed my instructions and edited it, the effect would still be acceptable, right? Your previous suggestions were too slow, and the audience might not have bought it after the editing. "
Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile. "My suggestion was based on the industry's general approach to post-production. But when I saw the post-production that you did, I realized that the industry's methods and experience … are really outdated."
Zhang Ye said, "That's not necessarily true. Every show has its own style and rhythm. We just have to find the one that suits us." In any case, when it came to the production of The Voice, be it the recording or the post-production, Zhang Ye had strictly followed his previous world's version of The Voice. Zhang Ye respected and trusted the show's routines that had been recognized and accepted by the people of his previous world.
Little Wang did not care about the post-production or editing. She quickly asked, "Are the viewership ratings out yet, Director Zhang?"
Zhang Ye said, "I don't think so."
Wu Yi gulped. "Do you think that the second episode will surpass the first?"
Zhang Ye shook his head. "Who can predict that? It's useless to think so much and analyze so much. In the end, it still depends on whether the audience buys it or not. Let's just wait for the final statistics."
Around 10: 30 AM.
The viewership ratings for Thursday's variety shows were out!
When Zhang Ye found out about the news, he was still in his office. It was Little Wang who hurriedly knocked on the door and came in to tell him. "Director Zhang! Director Zhang! It's out, it's out! "
Zhang Ye said happily, "You gave me a fright."
Little Wang said excitedly, "Quick, look at the viewership ratings!"
"Let me have a look." Zhang Ye took the form that Little Wang handed him. When he looked at it, he saw the words "The Voice of China" on the first line!
The Voice's second episode viewership rating: 2.11%!
On the basis of the first episode's viewership rating, it had actually increased by 0.1%!
This was an absolutely shocking increase. That was because the average viewership rating for variety shows in this world was around 0.5%. An increase of 0.1% was clearly not a small amount!
Zhang Ye smiled. "It's not bad."
However, Little Wang did not feel that it was not bad. None of the other colleagues of The Voice's program team outside felt that it was not bad either. To them, such a heaven-defying result was too exciting. The first episode had already broken 2%! The second episode had even set a new record for the nationwide viewership ratings of variety shows in recent years! It had instantly beaten all the other variety shows during the same period! The release of the second episode's viewership ratings gave their program team and Central TV Department 1 a shot in the arm. Only now did they dare to say that Central TV Department 1 had made a comeback into the variety industry and had reclaimed its position as the leading big brother of the variety industry! And the hero of this victory was undoubtedly Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye had used a program that no one took seriously to lead Central TV to sweep away all the variety shows in the country in a condescending manner!
No one could stop him!
No one could match him!
This was an absolute instant kill!
This was a battle that had no suspense at all!
… …
Online.
Thousands of people sent their congratulations.
"Although we expected it, it's still too unexpected!"
"Not only did the second episode's viewership ratings not drop, it even increased by 0.1%!"
"This is too scary! The Voice is going to break out of the universe! "
"Damn! Damn! "
"Come and watch, The Voice is defying the heavens again!"
"Hahaha, those industry insiders who dissed The Voice can finally give up! They have expressed: They will take a few days off to recharge their batteries. When Zhang Ye releases another work, they will come back again. A lifetime of dissing, a lifetime of dissing, never forsaking, always tenacious! "
"Congratulations, Teacher Zhang!"
"This is so exciting!"
"All these years, people have been saying that Central TV Department 1 is getting old and will no longer have its former glory and status. But they seem to have forgotten that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. What Central TV Department 1 lacks is probably a godly person like Zhang Ye who can turn the tide. Today, Central TV Department 1 has finally made a comeback after being silent for so many years! That big brother of the variety world has finally made a comeback! "
"The giant is attacking. All the satellite channels, be careful!"
"I'm delighted to see that Face-smacking Zhang has fought against his peers for the nth time and has once again gotten the last laugh!"
"Under the stimulation of The Voice, the variety show industry has recovered. Not only has Zhang Ye saved Central TV Department 1, he has also saved the entire variety world!"
"Central TV Department 1 has teamed up with Zhang Ye. The industry's largest television organization has teamed up with the industry's most outstanding planner. Who else can stop them?"
"Congratulations to The Voice for setting another record!"
"2.11%! You're really looking down on all the other mountains! "
"The legend continues!"
"This honor is truly deserved by The Voice!"
"Teacher Zhang, well done!"
"How awesome! What an awesome show! A bunch of awesome contestants! And an awesome host! The history of the variety world will surely record today's event. This is an era of heroes! From today onwards, the variety world has officially entered the 'Zhang Ye Era'! "
"Whoever has Zhang Ye will have the world!"
… …
In the office.
Zhang Ye was checking the recent rankings on the Celebrity Rankings Index website. In the B-list celebrity rankings, he immediately saw his current ranking.
Third from the bottom!
Back then, he was in last place. But after two episodes of The Voice, Zhang Ye's popularity had skyrocketed and he had suddenly risen two spots in the B-list rankings! One had to know that the gap between the B-list celebrities was much greater than that between the C-list and D-list celebrities. There was also a huge disparity in the popularity index. Every ranking was too far apart. Just thinking about how difficult it was for Zhang Ye to rise from the C-list celebrity rankings to the bottom of the B-list rankings was enough to show how difficult it was. He had spent a long period of time and his popularity had skyrocketed before he managed to get into the B-list rankings. But now, after only two short episodes of The Voice, Zhang Ye had only appeared a few times on The Voice as a host who did not have many appearances and did two advertising messages, and his popularity had shot up yet again. This could not be said to be slow!
Back at the beginning of the year, Zhang Ye had intended to aim for the B-list celebrity rankings for the entire year. As long as he could get into the B-list rankings, he would be satisfied. But who could have expected that in just a few short months, not only would Zhang Ye get promoted to the B-list celebrity rankings as he wished, he was even heading far towards the A-list celebrity rankings. Although he was still very far away from it and could not catch up, the momentum was very obvious. He no longer had to worry about falling back into the C-list rankings and getting overtaken by Chen Ye!
The show had become a hit!
His popularity had increased greatly!
After all the twists and turns and busyness in the past few days, Zhang Ye's mood was the best he had ever been. In the office, he hummed a tune and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Zhang Ye was very satisfied with his work and hard work during this period of time. All the hard work and exhaustion had been withstood by him. Today, it had given him the best reward!
Although those who did not like him would continue to dislike him, and those industry peers whom he had offended would still continue to target and attack him, Zhang Ye did not really care. He knew very well that to a celebrity, to a person in the entertainment industry, popularity was the most important thing. Popularity and reputation were the capital and basis for a celebrity like them to speak. Everything else was meaningless!
