Saturday.
When he checked the latest Celebrity Rankings Index in the morning, Zhang Ye's ranking had indeed changed once again. He had quietly moved up another rank and was getting closer and closer to the front of the B-list rankings. This was not an easy increase as a large part of it was due to the popularity score accumulated from A Bite of China. Coupled with the popularity score from yesterday's award and the acceptance speech that had been spread all over the country, he had managed to move up another rank.
Recently, Zhang Ye's popularity had been soaring. The media and the people were paying a lot of attention to him. It was at times like this that Zhang Ye would accumulate more and more popularity by doing something. Every time he added a little more fuel to the fire, the momentum would grow even stronger. He also seized this rare opportunity to increase his popularity. This was just like the stock market. Once a stock entered a rising trend, the more it rose, the more money would pay attention to it. The more money paid attention to it, the more it would rise, causing the stock price to rise higher and higher. But once the stock price stopped moving or started to drop, it would be very difficult for it to return to the rising trend. It was the same in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities who became famous overnight had done so, so this was a very rare opportunity for Zhang Ye.
He gained more fans!
His popularity went up another level! His popularity was getting higher and higher!
Zhang Ye was also in a good mood. On the way to work, he was humming a tune in high spirits. "Oh oh oh — yalasuo — that's the Qingzang Plateau —"
Alright then.
It didn't seem like it was that high!
...
At Central TV.
When Zhang Ye's car arrived, it was immediately discussed by many people from the other channels.
"Zhang Ye is here!"
"I never expected that he would win this year's Golden Microphone Award!"
"Yeah, he won it on his first nomination and even withstood so much pressure and doubts? I thought that the judges would not give the award to such a controversial host. "
"But that acceptance speech really made my blood boil!"
"Haha, I heard that after the awards ceremony ended, Central TV Department 1's Teacher Fang Gang kept cursing and swearing! Teacher Zhang Ye is too 'mischievous'! "
"So what if he cursed and swore? Even the station heads could not control Zhang Ye, and even the SARFT could not do anything to him, so what can Teacher Fang Gang and Teacher Xu Siyu do? It's just a few curses in private. Even if they break their teeth, they have to swallow it. Who told them to meet such a shameless fellow! "
"Pfft, these two are really unlucky."
"They must have said something unpleasant when they were sitting together and offended Zhang Ye. Our channel has lent a HD camera to Zhang Ye's program team before, so after interacting with them a few times, I still know him. Zhang Ye's temper is usually quite good and he's very polite to people. I've never seen him throw his weight around before and he's a very well-behaved person. But if you offend him, he won't be that nice to talk to."
Actually, he's not as much of a scoundrel as the rumors say. The last time I entered the elevator, I saw that Zhang Ye was about seven or eight meters away, so I held the elevator door open for him. After he came in quickly, he thanked me twice. We even chatted for a while. I didn't see him having a temper. He's a very humorous person and is quite amiable. "
Upstairs.
Department 14's office.
Zhang Ye hummed a tune as he walked into his program team office. Just as he was about to greet his colleagues, he was surprised to find that there was not a single person in the third office. The computers were turned on and there were a lot of documents and documents on the table, but no one was there.
Where is he?
It's still early for work, right?
Could it be that I'm still early?
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps coming from behind him. More than 30 of his colleagues from Department 14 swarmed into the office. Walking right in front were Little Wang and Huang Dandan. They were holding a rather large cake in their hands and were humming a cheerful tune.
Ha Qiqi was here.
Even Yan Tianfei was here.
Zhang Ye was flattered and said, "Whoa, I didn't even know that it's my birthday today?" He usually did not celebrate his birthday, and it wasn't even today.
"Director Zhang!"
"This is a surprise!"
"Haha, congratulations on winning the Golden Microphone Award!"
"We're also celebrating A Bite of China and The Voice winning two of the highest awards for television shows!"
“Surprise！”
Only then did Zhang Ye understand. "Thank you, thank you."
Yan Tianfei laughed and said, "We didn't celebrate much before this, but now that we've gathered together, hur hur, it was all organized by them. Since it's such a lively occasion, I definitely had to come and join in the fun. Teacher Little Zhang, you've really brought honor to Department 14 by winning the Golden Microphone Award this time! In the future, when we're introducing and recruiting to the outside world, we can also say that our department has the winner of the highest award for hosting! "
Zhang Ye sighed and said, "It's all thanks to the leader's nurturing that I can achieve such results."
"Come on, we're all on the same side, so what's with the formalities?" Yan Tianfei laughed heartily. "Come, come, come. Let's cut the cake!"
Everyone secretly discussed it and decided to buy a cake, organize a team, and hide. Then, they suddenly popped up to give Zhang Ye a surprise. This made Zhang Ye feel a little touched.
After cutting the cake, everyone laughed and chatted as they divided it up.
After the celebration, everyone went back to what they were doing and went back to work.
As it was almost New Year's Day, the program team of A Bite of China did not have much work to do. Today was also the last working day, so most of the staff would take six to seven consecutive days off. When they returned to work again, it would be January of the next year. This was also the holiday that Zhang Ye had requested for everyone.
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Director Zhang, where are you going on holiday?"
"I don't know. Maybe we'll just stay at home?" Zhang Ye said.
Zhang Zuo suggested, "It's almost New Year's Day, so why don't our program team organize a party tonight?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Sure, you guys can arrange the event and I'll pay for it."
Little Wang exclaimed, "Director Zhang is really generous and generous!"
Zhang Ye touched his pocket. "In any case, I only have 100 yuan, so it's fine as long as it doesn't exceed this amount."
"Yi!"
"Huu!"
His colleagues laughed and jeered!
Ring, ring, ring. A call came in.
When Zhang Ye saw the caller ID, he blinked a few times and quickly said, "You guys go ahead with your work. My teacher is calling." He went back to his office and answered.
It was Su Hongyan's voice on the other end. "Little Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm working overtime, Teacher Su."
Su Hongyan chuckled. "I have something to discuss with you."
"Go ahead."
"Tomorrow is our Media College's Performing Arts Exam. It's being brought forward this time, so are you free? I'm here to make a contribution to our alma mater. "
"What contribution can I make?"
"I'll be an examiner for you. Are you interested?"
"An examiner? Me? "
"That's right."
"Whoa, can I do it?"
"You've already won the Golden Microphone Award, so why are you still afraid that you're not qualified?"
"I'm afraid that I'll hold up the examinees."
"Every year, there are many graduates who return to our alma mater to be an examiner or even to teach the freshmen's courses. There are also quite a few of them who hold the title of an instructor, so what's the big deal? This has long since become a fixed tradition of our school. No matter how experienced we teachers are, it's only in terms of academics and education. We have our own limitations, and sometimes, we still need hosts like you who are fighting on the frontlines to bring back your experience. This kind of experience is also very valuable. "
"Alright, I understand."
"Then it's settled. Come earlier tomorrow. We still have other matters to discuss when we meet."
