Chapter 258 - Which is the best in excavating technology? (1/2)

The next day.

Zhang Ye went to work.

There was a recording that he had to get done in the morning. The audience had been informed and the tickets had already been distributed. However, just as many of the audience and staff members arrived on scene, they were informed that “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” had been changed to a daily broadcast. The amount of work gave the staff a large fright!

“Teacher Zhang!”

“This, isn’t this schedule too tight?”

“That’s right, can we even manage it?”

“A broadcast a day means we have to produce more episodes prior to prevent any mishaps. In that case, wouldn’t there be a drop in quality? We aren’t the issue, but we are afraid that it will put too much of a strain on you.”

A person from the program team said.

Zhang Ye laughed, “Let’s give it a go. We already recorded an additional two episodes yesterday. Let’s try recording three episodes today, maybe even four if possible. Let’s get them out first.” Then he said to the audience, “h.e.l.lo everyone, I have a matter to trouble you with. We will probably record multiple episodes today. We will probably be recording until noon, so if anyone has something to attend to midway, it’s alright, you can quietly leave prematurely.”

“Go ahead and record!”

“It’s best if we record ten episodes!”

“Right, I’ll not leave even if we record into the night!”

“Haha, we are dying to watch a few more episodes, so who would be willing to leave!?”

The audience’s reaction was intense, relieving Zhang Ye and his program team.

Then, after checking that the audience members did not have any recording devices, they began recording.

After the introduction clip, Zhang Ye appeared in his usual fas.h.i.+on, “h.e.l.lo, everyone and welcome to today’s ‘Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’. I am your host, Zhang Ye. Today, I have an exciting piece of news to tell everyone. Due to the feverish response and support we have received for the past few episode, from today onwards, my program will have a change in broadcasting time. It will be changed from airing at 8 on Sat.u.r.days and Sundays to an airing time at 8 every day from Monday to Sunday. Our program also has a sponsor now. This episode is sponsored by the ‘Korean Aeros.p.a.ce Industries’—We want to go further, to see what else belongs to us!”

Initially, the audience was listening attentively. Things such as the change in airing schedule and introducing a sponsor’s advertis.e.m.e.nt, but who knew that Zhang Ye had already thrown in a joke without any warning! Even many of the staff present were fooled by Zhang Ye. As he had been speaking very seriously at the beginning, they were still curious. What sponsor? They had never heard that their program had sponsors yet! No one expected Zhang Ye to come up with such a sudden reversal!

“Pfft!”

“Hahahaha!”

“The Koreans are too ambitious!”

Everyone, including the staff present, burst out with laughter!

Teacher Zhang Ye was too professional! Wasn’t Korea’s special episode done for the entire second episode? It returned again? This was f**king professionally ridiculing Korea for a hundred years! Just as Zhang Ye had said last time, who was the one propping up China as well as the Talk Show industry? It was not the SARFT, nor was it the television station media, nor was it the professional industry experts, nor was it the citizens of China, but rather it was the silent hard work of the mighty South Korean citizens!

Haha!

There was something to look forward to with this episode again!

Just from the opening statement, it meant that this episode would not be bad!

All the way to noon.

People dispersed from the recording studio.

The final result was Zhang Ye recording five episodes in one shot. Including the additional two episodes he did yesterday, he now had a large enough “stockpile” for them to broadcast for a full week. This was also because Zhang Ye was getting more and more used to the performance style required for Talk Shows. Hence, his condition was getting better and better. It was not as mentally sapping anymore. If it were anything like the first and second episode, he would definitely faint on-stage after recording five episodes. Today, he was not as exhausted. When the members of the program team saw Teacher Zhang in great condition, they were completely rea.s.sured.

In the dressing room.

Zhang Ye changed back into his work clothes and removed his makeup. He then switched on his cellphone and within a few minutes, a phone call came in.

The number indicated—Director Jiang.

The Executive Director of “The Great Pugilistic World”?

Zhang Ye picked it up, “h.e.l.lo, Director Jiang, how are you?”

Director Jiang smiled. “Little Zhang, why did you switch off your phone?”

“Hai, I was recording programs all morning and have just concluded for the day,” Zhang Ye said, “Is there something you need?”

Director Jiang said, “Tonight is the premiere of ‘The Great Pugilistic World’. It will be held in Shanghai. If you have time, join us. After it, there will even be a celebratory feast. This time it will be the official celebratory feast.”

Zhang Ye did not hesitate, “Sure, I’ll definitely be there.”

Previously, if the filming crew needed to inform him of such matters or to aid in their promotions, it would be the a.s.sistant Director contacting him. However, this time, Director Jiang personally made the call. Zhang Ye also understood that his popularity had increased, and that his status in the industry had naturally increased. The current him was no longer a minor side character who needed to use connections to be pulled into a film crew as a background character. The current Zhang Ye…eh…no longer needed to use connections to be pulled into a film crew as a side character! His societal status had clearly improved!

Cafeteria.

Zhang Ye happened to b.u.mp into Dong Shanshan who was also there to eat.

He whispered, “I’ll need to go out at night. The movie, which I previously made a guest appearance in, is having its premiere today, so I’ll probably be home late. So don’t delay your dinner for me.
