Chapter 251 - Zhang Ye’s Continuous Saving off the Situation! (1/2)
As time pa.s.sed, seconds became minutes!
The live broadcast of “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” was going to begin at any moment!
At this very moment, the online viewers had already gathered antic.i.p.ating the live broadcast on the homepage of Weiwo WebTV. After the incident regarding Lee Parkwoo’s comments, the online viewers were divided into two camps. One of the camps supported Zhang Ye’s face slapping. They hoped to see Zhang Ye go off-script for the entire live broadcast to show those Koreans what he was capable of! Didn’t you say that it couldn’t be done? Sure! Today we will show you that it can be done! Your Korean hosts aren’t able to do it, but our Chinese hosts definitely can! The other camp was specially here for the sole purpose of discrediting Zhang Ye. They were all Lee Parkwoo or Hallyu fans!
Both sides were like fire and water!
When they saw each other in the comments section of the WebTV video, they immediately immediately engaged in a war of words!
The first comment of the day came from an original hardcore fan of Zhang Ye’s. Even if you did not know his name, you’d immediately know who he was by what he said. “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! Come quickly, Koreans! I haven’t cursed in such a long while! My large saber is again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again unable to endure the thirst!”
“Big Saber Bro is so fierce!”
“I’m here too! I’m prepared for the cursing to begin!”
“Where’s the Korean? Where are the Korean’s fans? Quickly come out!”
Zhang Ye’s fans began to crazily call for blood. They could no longer wait!
Some visitors and industry insiders were more level headed. They just wanted to see if Zhang Ye could successfully do the first ever live broadcast for online television and see if he could really go off-script for the entire show, but Zhang Ye’s fans and some nationalistic youths, who did not even know Zhang Ye, were not so level headed. Some of them couldn’t even recognize who Zhang Ye was, but were just hardcore Korean haters. When they smelled blood over here, they came rus.h.i.+ng over without a care, without bothering about who Zhang Ye was. To them it didn’t matter because whoever scolded Zhang Ye meant scolding them too!
The troll army surged!
It was a sea of ultra-nationalists!
Of course, Lee Parkwoo’s fans showed no sign of weakness either. Their numbers were quite large too and they were highly cohesive. They did not speak reason. To them, Lee Parkwoo’s words were law!
“Tell Zhang Ye to scram!”
“Zhang Ye, you stupid pig!”
“You dare to challenge our Lee Parkwoo? Fine! Let’s see who has more fans!”
“Still doing a live broadcast? You’re way too overconfident! What our Lee Parkwoo says is right. Zhang Ye is just a cheat! He can do pre-recorded shows, but he will definitely make a fool of himself during a live broadcast! Just wait and see!”
“Hehe, everyone is waiting for Zhang Ye to make a fool of himself!”
Beijing.
At the same time.
Zhang Ye’s mom and dad were in front of the computer, waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
Zhang Ye’s three female cousins also joined in on the fun. The two elderly people did not know how to use the computer well, so the live broadcast page was loaded by these cousins.
“Will my brother make it? Is he really going to do it off-script?”
“I’m so nervous. Our brother’s memory has never been very good since he was young, right?”
“These Hallyu fans are so irritating! Hmph! They dared to curse at my bro! I will never chase after Korean celebrities in the future! Don’t let me see them! I’ll curse them every time I see them!”
“It’s beginning, it’s beginning!
On the other side of Beijing.
Rao Aimin was at home wrapping one dumpling after another.
Chenchen was staring at the computer monitor before she suddenly shouted, “The opening is playing! Aunt, come over quickly!”
Rao Aimin groaned, “What’s so good about that rascal?”
“Aren’t you afraid that Zhang Ye will suffer? Many people are cursing him,” Chenchen said.
Rao Aimin could not help but laugh, “That kid? Suffer? It would be weird if he suffers with that mouth of his!”
Meanwhile…
Hu Fei was also watching his television at home. He had already connected the WebTV’s signal to his smart TV, so he could watch it from his sofa.
Xiao Lu, Dafei, Hou Ge, and Hou Di were also at home watching the live broadcast.
Some industry outsiders, who knew about the matter, came to watch the fun and help Zhang Ye argue back at those brainless Hallyu fans. Even Zhang Ye’s former ex-leader and colleagues, like the radio station’s Zhao Guozhou, w.a.n.g Xiaomei, Xiaofang, Big Sis Zhou, Auntie Sun, Tian Bin & wife, etc, etc, etc all joined in after hearing about it. “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” became hotly discussed on the internet and involved arguments with Hallyu fans, so everyone became concerned about this issue. People like Xiao Lu and Xiaofang, who were both mild tempered, even put on a strong front and joined in the scolding!
It was a mess outside the studio.
In the studio, there was a solidarity feeling against a common enemy. The people who applied for tickets to the show were mainly fans of Zhang Ye. They all carried the same hatred towards Koreans!
However, there was an exception in today’s group.
A foreign black man stood out from the crowd.
“Counting down!”
“Three…”
“Two…”
“One…”
“The live broadcast begins!”
After the opening clip finished airing, the music, live from the studio, began playing.
Zhang Ye took a deep breath backstage as he gazed at the dark stage. He took a sip of tea to smoothen his vocals and pa.s.sed the teacup to a staff member who stood to the side. His facial expression suddenly changed as he took large steps towards the stage. He continued to do his own self introduction, “Now, let us welcome our famous host, famous poet, famous advertis.e.m.e.nt producer, famous program producer, famous writer, the country’s top Talk Show host, and the world’s top Talk Show host….. Zhang Ye!” This long introduction was said all in one breath!
He entered the stage in a grand manner.
The audience was laughing, applauding, and even whistling!
“Yi!”
“Yi!”
“Get off the stage!”
“Haha! Can you be any more shameless!?”
