Chapter 143 - Establishing Zhang Ye’s Official Fanclub! (1/2)
After reaching home.
The clock was pointing at 8:30 P.M.
Starting tomorrow, Zhang Ye and the program team would have to busy themselves with recording “Lecture Room”. Preparing to take over the timeslot of the cancelled crosstalk program, they had to create the work plan and program, so they worked until it was quite late. Luckily, Hu Fei got someone to buy them dinner takeouts, so that they didn’t go home hungry.
Huu, tired.
Oh, right. Let’s take a look at the reputation.
The program had been broadcasted over the past two days and Zhang Ye had been holding back from looking at his Reputation points. When he was lying in bed, he brought up the game interface!
Total Reputation: 980,271!
980,000! It was almost a million!
Thinking back, when he had first started the broadcast for “Ghost Blows Out the Light”, he would gain an additional 20-30,000 Reputation. But this time, in just two days, he had gained so much? This meant that on average, he had gained about 500,000 of Reputation each day? It was about 20 times more than what he would have gotten at the radio station?
Although Zhang Ye had a few incidents that had led to his Reputation jumping by a few hundred thousand, they were one-offs. Those times, he had captured the attention of people, which led to the jump in Reputation points. Those kind of incidents happened only once in a blue moon.
It was different now. With “Lecture Room” scheduled to be broadcast seven days a week, the large number of Reputation points earned each day would be become the new normal. What sort of concept was this? Even if a lot of people went to work from Monday to Friday and couldn’t watch the program in the afternoon, they could choose to watch it on the internet at night. The rating would not be as high as on Sat.u.r.days, but a few hundred thousand Reputation points a day would not be a problem!
A few hundred thousand Reputation points a day!
This would mean a rhythm of playing the lottery more than once per day!
Zhang Ye did not play the lottery today; he wanted to acc.u.mulate his Reputation points. So he bought three memory search capsules and ate one to start searching through his memory of Yi Zhongtian’s “a.n.a.lysis of the Three Kingdoms”. After finis.h.i.+ng the first capsule, he ate another two. In the end, he had a bit left to search through, and so annoyingly had to buy another memory search capsule, for a total of four now, to finish up the series of “a.n.a.lysis of the Three Kingdoms” memory search.
When he first used it to search through “Ghost Blows Out the Light”, one capsule would have been enough to memorize a lot of words. But this time, he had to expend quite a number of them. Firstly, maybe because a novel was presented as text, it was more simplified and easier to memorize. A video would include subt.i.tles, audio and video, etc, which was a lot more complex.
Secondly, “Ghost Blows Out the Light” was memorised continuously when he had nothing to do other than reading, so the memory data was more ‘whole’. “a.n.a.lysis of the Three Kingdoms” was watched by Zhang Ye at different times, sometimes on television, sometimes online. The timings were irregular and the continuity was pretty much broken.Therefore, there were some difficulties in searching the memory and more capsules were used.
Four capsules!
400,000 reputation points!
Zhang Ye felt the pain of spending for the extra capsule, and so to change his mood, he switched on the computer to check on the Celebrity Rankings website. He searched his name.
He was still ranked as an E-List celebrity!
But what made Zhang Ye happy was that in the past, he had just entered the E-List rankings and was at the bottom of it. He had floated around the last few places while he was out of work. Without exposure, he had even dropped a few places and had nearly fallen off the E-List! But now, his ranking had skyrocketed. It was as if he took a rockets.h.i.+p up from the bottom to somewhere above the middle. If the trend continued, after he finished with “a.n.a.lysis of the Three Kingdoms”, he might even fly up into the D-List rankings!
Come on!
He was getting closer to his dreams!
“Is Teacher Zhang around?”
“Paging for Teacher Zhang Ye!”
[email protected]/* */! G.o.d, please respond!”
Suddenly, a lot of people were @-ing him on Weibo.
His Weibo client was always on. When he saw it, he immediately opened up Weibo to see what was happening and why they were all looking for him.
ZhangYeNumber1Fan had @ him. When Zhang Ye saw it, he replied to him, “I’m here.”
“Haha, the G.o.d is here!”
“He’s been called out!”
“We have something serious to discuss. Brother Number1, you discuss it with Teacher Zhang.”
There were many of Zhang Ye’s fans standing by on Weibo today, and Zhang Ye did not know what was going on.
ZhangYeNumber1Fan mentioned, “Teacher Zhang, we all had a discussion today. In the past, we called ourselves your troll army. In fact, we really were a troll army. We were always trolling around or getting into arguments with others. But now, most of those who joined in the commotions for fun have become fans of your works. Some of us like your novels, some of us like your modern poetry, some like your melody poems, and some like your new program ‘Lecture Room’. Then, there are some like me, who like all of your works. After our discussion, we realised that we can’t call ourselves your troll army; that’s too meaningless. Besides, we were trolls in the past, but have now become your fans.”
Zhang Ye blinked, before typing, “What you mean is..?”
ZhangYeNumber1Fan replied, “We would like to set up your fan club. Although your fame is still far off from those established celebrities, and you’re only an E-Lister, many E-Listers don’t have an official fanclub because they don’t have many fans. But that’s them. You definitely have many fans. Just our army alone has a few hundred of us. Don’t see us as a pile of loose sand. When you need our help, we will always respond. We are your hardcore fans!”
“Right!”
