In the afternoon.
The Rise to the Dance program team's final push to promote the show was starting to show results. Like Huo Dongfang's scandal, Fan Wenli's marriage scandal, fans fainting on the set of the show, all of these hype and gossip appeared in all sorts of forms on the various major media outlets, newspapers, and the internet. Another wave of news flooded the screens. It could be said that the news was coming in full force and occupied almost 10% of the entertainment circle's news coverage that day. Even the limelight of the film and television industry's large scale award ceremony was overshadowed. Even if the people did not want to pay attention to them, they had no choice but to focus their attention on Rise to the Dance!
On Weibo …
The netizens were also very excited.
"Ten thousand expectations!"
"I'm finally going to meet everyone today!"
"Rise to the Dance is awesome!"
"Stop the publicity, hurry up and broadcast it! Too tantalizing! "
"I'm waiting to see! Hurry, hurry, hurry! "
"Eight in the evening? I can't wait anymore! "
"Haha, I like Sect Leader Huo!"
"I love Teacher Chen Ye so much! I'm his hardcore fan! Teacher Chen is so cool! "
With such a large-scale publicity campaign, there would definitely be a lot of topics for the people to talk about. Of course, not everyone had forgotten about Zhang Ye. There was also a small group of people who were paying attention to the broadcast of A Bite of China!
"So today is also the day that Zhang Ye's documentary will be broadcast?"
"I'm in a dilemma, which one should I watch?"
"It's been so long since A Bite of China has done any publicity that I almost forgot about it."
"It's not that they don't want to promote it, it's just that Central TV Department 1 played dirty!"
"When it rains, it pours. A Bite of China is even more hopeless. I'll just watch Rise to the Dance!"
"Too bad it's a documentary, sigh, sigh!"
"Yeah, I really feel sorry for Teacher Zhang. Compared to a show like Rise to the Dance, what's a documentary? Don't you see that the entire Central TV has already given up on A Bite of China?! "
"F * * k, how can they compare Rise to the Dance to a documentary? Was there a need to compare? How awesome! Let Central TV Department 1 compete with Teacher Zhang on variety shows! Let's see who's going to torture who! "
"But there are no ifs!"
"Stop arguing. Everything will be revealed tonight!"
The stage was set up.
His appetite was whetted.
The only thing left to do was to count down to the broadcast!
…
There were five hours left before the broadcast.
Yan Tianfei called Zhang Ye to his office.
"Little Zhang, what are you still lacking?" Yan Tianfei asked.
Zhang Ye smiled. "It's not bad at all."
Yan Tianfei asked, "Is everything ready?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "We're just waiting for the broadcast. There's nothing else to prepare."
Yan Tianfei looked at his expression and laughed. "You sure are relaxed."
"Yeah, I've done what I need to do. I'll leave the rest to the market." Zhang Ye's answer was exactly what he was thinking. At this moment, he was really very calm. After all, he was someone who had weathered through many storms. With the increase in his experience, Zhang Ye was actually also growing.
…
There were still three hours before the broadcast.
Central TV Department 1's director's office.
Xu Yipeng said, "Director Jiang, give us another one."
Jiang Naixiong laughed and said, "Just today alone, Central TV Department 1 has already given you three advertising slots. Do you still think that's not enough? All of these cost money. On the day of The Voice's broadcast, we only gave out two of them! "
Chen Ye also begged for a long time.
In the end, Jiang Naixiong said, "Let's wait for next week. When the viewership ratings are out, as long as the premiere episode surpasses 1.5%, I'll give you another chance next week!"
1.5%?
Chen Ye did not think that it was a lot.
Even Jiang Naixiong felt that this expectation was not too much.
Back at the Rise to the Dance program team office, Xu Yipeng and Chen Ye started urging everyone to work again. Actually, with the source footage already submitted, there was nothing else that they could do. However, they still made the best use of the remaining time they had. They did not care what the staff were busy with, as they could not just sit around and do nothing. Everyone had to get moving anyway, as this was the only way they could show their determination for the new show!
A female staff member came in from outside. "I saw Zhang Ye just now."
She was talking to a colleague sitting at the next table, but because she did not lower her voice, Xu Yipeng and Chen Ye, who were sitting nearby, heard her.
Chen Ye frowned. "What's the matter? Is he causing trouble again? "
Xu Yipeng also knew Zhang Ye's character very well. He was afraid that Zhang Ye would come up with something again.
The female staff member quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I just saw Zhang Ye holding his bag and going home from work!"
"Going home?"
"Going home?"
"Isn't their show also broadcast at night?"
"Ah? Why did he go home? "
Not only were Xu Yipeng and Chen Ye speechless, the other program team staff were also dumbfounded.
Then Chen Ye started laughing and shook his head, not saying anything more.
You're giving up just like that?
It's not even broadcast yet and you're already getting off work?
That 'Rotten Fruit' of yours was just a bluff!
Xu Yipeng immediately said, "Who cares about what the others are doing? Just focus on your own work and broaden your horizons. There are so many competing variety shows in the same time slot, so why are you all so fixated on a documentary?"
"Uh, yes!"
No one dared to bring it up again.
… …
There were still two hours until the broadcast.
Zhang Ye had already returned to his parents' house.
"Mom, hurry up and make me a bowl of noodles. I'm hungry." The moment Zhang Ye entered the house, he kicked off his shoes and kicked them all over the place. Then he pushed Chenchen aside and sat down on the sofa.
Chenchen was very angry and tried to snatch the seat in the middle from him.
Zhang Ye did not give in to her either, so the two of them started fighting again.
His mother said in surprise, "Why are you back?"
"It's time to get off work. Where would I go if I don't come back?" Zhang Ye wondered.
His father said, "We thought that you would be working overtime. Isn't today the premiere of your documentary?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I can just watch the premiere at home. It's so quiet there."
After dinner, Zhang Ye dawdled into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he started sending out text messages to his friends and relatives one by one.
To Yao Jiancai: "Old Yao, switch to Channel 14 at 8 PM."
Yao Jiancai replied: "Haha, alright, I'll watch and learn!"
To Dong Shanshan: "It's going to be broadcast at 8 PM. Turn on the TV and help me increase the viewership ratings."
Dong Shanshan: "It's already on. I'm with Brother Hu, Hou Ge, and the others."
To Wu Zeqing: "Old Wu, my show is going to be broadcast soon. It's today."
Wu Zeqing: "OK."
To Fan Yingyun aka Big Saber Bro: "It's going to be broadcast at 8 PM! GOGOGO！
Fan Yingyun: "A must-watch!"
To Zhang Yuanqi: "Sister Zhang, switch to Channel 14 later. Don't forget!"
Zhang Yuanqi: "OK."
Actually, how many viewership ratings could he get by contacting a few friends and relatives? Zhang Ye's purpose was to inform everyone so that they wouldn't complain about the new show being broadcast without informing them.
His mother switched the channel to Channel 14.
However, Zhang Ye said, "Mom, switch to Central TV Department 1."
His mother was surprised. "Why are you watching Central TV Department 1?"
Chenchen also looked at him. "You're watching Rise to the Dance?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm watching our opponent's show first."
His mother switched to it.
Zhang Ye knew very well how A Bite of China was. In fact, he was the one who recorded and edited the show, so there was no need for him to watch it anymore. What he was concerned about now was how the "quality" of Rise to the Dance was. Was it really as good as advertised? Was it really as godly as Fan Wenli, the person involved, had described? Of course, Zhang Ye also wanted to see if Rise to the Dance was qualified to be A Bite of China's opponent!
… …
Counting down.
