Chapter 245 - Zhang Ye—Please remember this name! (1/2)

At the other end.

Shanghai, Weiwo company.

A lot of people were working overtime today. When it was time, many of them quietly switched on their computers and put aside their work to watch “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show”. Initially, no one was interested in this program because they had already decided that the program was not a good one, so there was no point in watching it. What’s more, many experts and reviewers online had said that this sort of program that used jokes as a theme could never gain the approval of the audience. Many of them also subscribed to this opinion. But after the recording, w.a.n.g Bei, Ah Qian, Little Yu and the others all came back with a piece of news; the audience had clapped for a full 10 minutes after the show. Seeing the smiles on their colleagues who went to the recording like they were really happy and left wanting for more, it became too intriguing!

What had happened?

No way! They needed to watch to find out!

Then, at 8 PM sharp, they watched it!

Following that, the whole WebTV department’s office was filled with continuous laughter! A person, who was having a drink, even spat out water onto the monitor after hearing a joke segment by Zhang Ye!

“Hahaha!”

“Teacher Zhang is too funny!”

“Aiyo, aiyo, I can’t take it anymore! Hahahaha!”

Someone was literally hitting the table while laughing. It was as if they were chewing on Stride Gum; they just couldn’t stop!

On Weibo.

On Tieba.

A usually calm 8 PM on the internet was now gusting with winds. The words “Zhang Ye’s Talk  Show” had taken over all the forums and Tiebas. There was no warning. It felt like just the moment before, there was calmness. Then suddenly, people started crazily posting on Weibo!

“Holy sh*t!”

“I’m shocked! Really shocked!”

“It’s too fierce! Teacher Zhang was too cool today!”

“Did all of you watch ‘Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’? Hahaha! It’s too enjoyable!”

“I watched it! My whole family watched it together! It’s really great! Please let me curse to express my feelings; Zhang Ye, you’re too f**king awesome!”

“What a poker-faced comedian!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Poker-faced comedian is a really apt description!”

“Look at that endless expanse of green? Aiyo, that really made me cramp up with laughter!”

“The most cla.s.sic line is ‘Foreigners only take public buses and trains to work. Can I not believe it?’! Aiyah! Zhang Ye really dares to say such things! This has discredited all the news agencies! And talked about the truthful feelings of everyone else! These days, the news reports are all trying to voice the government’s policies. They come up with all sorts of baseless reports and make up facts. When they find an advantageous point, they gloss over it and report it as foreigners, who buy cars, do not drive them, just to make us go green!  We understand the point of going green and also know the importance of it! But the news agencies and television stations should not treat us ma.s.ses as fools! We are not dumb! Why don’t they just promote green travel as it is! Must you come up with such crooked ways! This really makes us disgusted! Hahahaha! Still, Teacher Zhang Ye is really f**king awesome! He’s singing the opposite tune to those television news agencies! Too well said! I still only have one thing to say. I will reiterate on my view from back then. In the entertainment industry now, the only one who dares to speak up is Teacher Zhang Ye!”

“f.u.c.k, to say all that without holding back, won’t it be a problem?”

“Yeah, it’s really a kick listening to that. But don’t get shut down by the authorities!”

“It won’t happen. Teacher Zhang might sound like he’s talking too overly strong. But if you listen and understand what he said, everything he talked about did not cross the line. It’s all within the limits and falls under ridicule and satire. His control of it was also very well handled. Haha, this is also why I admire Teacher Zhang Ye. Just by that segment that discredits the news agencies, Teacher Zhang was cursing someone? There was no cursing; there wasn’t even a swear word! Was Teacher Zhang wrong to bring up this government policy? No, he did not mention it. He was just responding to the news reports of not driving, although we all know that this was him scolding the news agencies and cursing the rise in oil prices. But try if you want to, you won’t find any problems with Teacher Zhang Ye’s words!”

“This episode of the program was really beautiful!”

“Absolutely! I really love Zhang Ye!”

“Yes, to me, Teacher Zhang Ye is a literary person who meddles with writing poems, writing lyrics, writing supernatural novels and as the host of a historical program. I would have expected him to be a very serious person. But after watching ‘Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’ today, I’ve been blinded by the enlightenment! Not only can he host serious historical programs, he can even do such a funny program! I was f**king laughing from the beginning until the end!”

“Ditto!”

“Ditto+10000!”

“Haha. I also laughed from the beginning until the end!”

“Nearly 30 minutes of laughing. Not a single moment for the audience to rest. This program is too G.o.dly! Teacher Zhang Ye! You are my idol from now on! Every future episode of ‘Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’! I will watch it once it is broadcasted! It’s too d*mn good!”

There was a wave of praises and amazement online!

There were still people scolding Zhang Ye in the morning. But at this moment, there was no sign of them. It’s like they had vanished into thin air!
