Throughout the morning, they interviewed dozens of examinees.
"It's already 12 AM?"
"That's all for the morning."
"Let's go for lunch. We still have another session in the afternoon."
"This morning's batch was so-so. Only No. 026 is passable. I feel that she can be groomed, but we still have to see how she performs during the second round of the exam."
"No. 051 is not bad either."
"Yeah, he has a unique voice."
Zhang Ye, Su Hongyan, and the others chatted as they left the exam hall. Elsewhere, the interviewers from the Directing and Performing Arts departments were also finishing up their work for the morning. They bumped into each other downstairs or in the corridors and chatted for a while before heading to the cafeteria.
At this moment, eight or nine reporters ran up to him.
"Director Zhang!"
"You're finally out!"
"Help us do an interview!"
"I've already spoken to Media College. The school has agreed to interview you!"
From the looks of it, the reporters had been waiting for him downstairs all this while. As soon as Zhang Ye stepped out, he was naturally caught red-handed.
Zhang Ye stopped in his tracks.
Su Hongyan turned around and looked at him. "What's the matter?"
"You guys go ahead and eat first." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'll go over in a bit."
Su Hongyan nodded. "Alright then."
Teacher Xue reminded, "Go to the smaller cafeteria. The larger cafeteria isn't open today."
"Alright," Zhang Ye said.
When the interviewers left, the reporters started sprinting.
A female reporter came up to him and asked, "Teacher Zhang, why did Media College invite you back to your alma mater as an examiner? What are your thoughts on being an examiner for the first time? "
Zhang Ye smiled. "My alma mater invited me back as a sign of their trust in me. I will definitely do my job well, so I didn't think too much about anything else."
A male reporter immediately said, "We've just received news that Media College has invited you back to your alma mater as a guest associate professor. Teacher Zhang, is this true?"
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Whoa, you guys are way too well-informed. I've only just heard about this and don't know if it's true or not, so I can't answer you."
A reporter beside him said, "If the news is true, then you'll be the youngest associate professor in the history of Media College."
Zhang Ye said very cautiously, "I don't know about that."
The female reporter blinked and said, "Teacher Zhang, you're being too cautious today."
Zhang Ye was amused. "That's right?"
The female reporter said, "That's not your style!"
A male reporter's eyes also lit up. "Just say it, it's fine!"
"You guys are fine." Zhang Ye laughed and said, "If I were to say it casually, I would be in big trouble. Do you guys think that there aren't enough people scolding me?"
The female reporter laughed. "Of course we're here to watch the show!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright, it's almost the new year, so I better keep a low profile."
After chatting for a while, Zhang Ye left and went to the cafeteria to eat.
Sometimes, the news was just that fast. He had just left and the news was already out!
Online Entertainment Weekly: "Zhang Ye has been appointed as an examiner for the Media Academy!"
Daily News: "On the first day of the Media College Entrance Examination, Zhang Ye appears in surprise!"
Daily Entertainment: "Rumor has it that Zhang Ye will be appointed as an associate professor at Media Communications' School of Broadcasting!"
Online entertainment news: "Media Times extends an olive branch to Zhang Ye, offering him a high salary to coach!"
The netizens expressed their concern.
"An associate professor of Media College?"
"Teacher Zhang is really capable!"
"Amazing!"
"Is the news true?"
"Has it been confirmed? If it's confirmed, then that would be awesome! "
"The youngest associate professor of Peking University and Media College?"
"If Zhang Ye really becomes an associate professor at Media College, then his status and seniority in the industry will be very high!"
"I have to say that Media College still has good foresight. If they get Zhang Ye to teach, they will definitely attract a large number of students. Zhang Ye can teach in the Broadcasting Department, Directing Department, and even the Music Department! With his ability and talent, I'm very optimistic about Media College's future. I really hope that Zhang Ye can produce a few more entertainment celebrities like him! People like Zhang Ye are too rare in the entertainment industry! "
"Supporting Teacher Zhang!"
Of course, there would definitely be a lot of criticism.
There were also quite a few netizens and people in the industry who were doubting him.
"Let's confirm if it's true first."
"Has Media College gone crazy if they don't think highly of Zhang Ye?"
"They even dare to recruit someone like him? Does Media College not have enough to deal with? "
"Don't let Zhang Ye ruin Media College's reputation!"
"What qualifications does Zhang Ye have to be an associate professor at an art college like China Media College?"
…
In the afternoon.
A few of the related heads of the School of Broadcasting came to look for Zhang Ye. With Su Hongyan's participation, the matter of Zhang Ye's temporary appointment was quickly settled. As the school had already held a meeting to discuss this matter beforehand, even the details of the teaching schedule had already been planned out. As such, the discussion went on very quickly and even the contract was prepared. After finalizing the salary, the matter was settled.
"Professor Zhang, welcome to Media College." Finally, the heads of the schools shook hands with Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's my honor."
After he went out, his cell phone rang.
Zhang Ye went to the side to answer. "Mom, what's up?"
His mother said happily, "I saw on the news that Media College has invited you to teach?"
"It's just a temporary appointment," Zhang Ye said with a smile.
His mother asked, "An associate professor?"
Zhang Ye acknowledged, "An associate professor. It's already been decided. We just finished discussing it."
"That's great! That's great! "Then he heard his mother say," Old Zhang, the news is true! Our son has gained another associate professor title! And it's even from his alma mater! "
Then he heard his father say, "Call all the relatives over tonight. Let's have dinner at home and have a get-together."
His mother immediately said, "Little Ye, come home early tonight and call everyone over!"
"Hai, that's not necessary," Zhang Ye said.
His mother stared at him. "Why not? Being promoted to an associate professor is a big deal! Don't take it lightly! "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll listen to you and Dad."
Perhaps to his parents, the title of an associate professor was much more impressive than the highest award on a television program. In their generation, being a professor was a big deal, so they were naturally happy about it.
A while later, his friends also called.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Professor Zhang?"
Zhang Ye said, "Sure."
"When are you going to give me a lecture?" Dong Shanshan asked.
Zhang Ye said happily, "Come on, it's just a temporary appointment. It's more appropriate for you to give me a lecture."
Dong Shanshan chuckled and said, "Oh yes, Wang He is back."
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "He's already here?"
Dong Shanshan said, "He arrived in Beijing this morning and I spoke to him on the phone. Why? He didn't call you? I've already sent your number to him. "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "It's not like you don't know that we always bickered back in university. Now that he's in Beijing, it would be a wonder if he would call me."
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "That's true. But among those in our class, only a few of us are still persevering in the industry after we graduated. It's better to move around more often. It's not easy. I suppose you've heard that Wang He offended someone in the industry last year and had no choice but to give up on his hosting career and return to his hometown. Now that he's back, he's definitely trying to restart his career. But I'm afraid that his situation is not that simple. It's still uncertain if Wang He will be able to handle it well. Hai, it's all about him. "
"Is it very troublesome?" Zhang Ye had also heard about it, but he did not know the specifics.
Who did Wang He offend back then?
At that time, Zhang Ye had just joined Beijing Radio Station and did not have many sources of information. Moreover, he had offended too many people at that time and could barely take care of himself. Even Dong Shanshan was only reconnected with him after they bumped into each other on the plane when he went to Shanghai. As such, he really did not know much about Wang He.
Dong Shanshan nodded and said, "It should be very troublesome. Teacher Su also wanted to help him back then, but it was not resolved. You can imagine how troublesome it is."
Zhang Ye nodded and said, "If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know."
"Hur hur, sure. I was waiting for you to say that." Dong Shanshan said, "Don't you know who Wang He is? If he's in trouble, he definitely won't ask you for help. Even though I asked him for a long time, he didn't tell me the specifics. But I thought that we've been classmates for so many years, even if he doesn't say it, we can't just ignore it. If we can help, we definitely have to, so I talked to you first. "
Zhang Ye said, "I understand. Actually, isn't it nothing more than offending someone? How many people have I offended over the years? Isn't he still fine? "
Dong Shanshan laughed and said, "That's why you're a weirdo!"
Zhang Ye said nervously, "Can you be more particular with your words?"
Dong Shanshan said flatly, "No, because you're a weirdo."
Zhang Ye said, "… Alright then."
