I’m Really a Superstar

It's past eight o'clock.

CCTV set.

There are evening programs here. In addition to the "Dancing" column team, there are actually many CCTV TV program teams working overtime today. A few days ago, Zhang Ye caught someone from CCTV TV on Weibo and shouted, Many people who scolded Zhang Ye during the lawsuit were scolded back by Zhang Ye, so that the relationship between many CCTV program teams and Zhang Ye became even worse. Naturally, they would also treat Zhang Ye. Pay more attention.

An interview column group.

"The recording is complete!"

"Thanks everyone for your hard work, it's time to get off work."

"By the way, is Zhang Ye's show broadcast?"

"It should be playing now."

"Look, I want to see what kind of crap he can make when he takes over a documentary for the first time!"

A variety show on CCTV.

""Dancing" is very exciting!"

"Yes, it must be number one in the ratings."

"How's Zhang Ye's documentary going?"

"It's on the air, I didn't pay attention."

"Old Xu is still capable. Even if Zhang Ye is not convinced this time, it won't work. Well, let's watch Channel 14 and take a look at the film called Tongue and Pointed to see what Zhang Ye has produced. "

…

During the commercial time for "Dancing", many people who liked or disliked Zhang Ye used their remote controls to broadcast it on CCTV Channel 14. In stark contrast to the less intense and passionate dance and dance music in "Dancing", Channel 14 jumped out of the camera with a soft background soundtrack, as soft as a trickling stream, like clouds and mist, and Zhang Ye's narration voice is thick and magnetic.

"After the matsutake was unearthed, Sanji immediately covered the fungus pit with pine needles on the ground. Only in this way, the mycelium would not be destroyed. In order to continue the natural gift, the villagers abide by the rules of the mountain forest."

In the office.

A CCTV host laughed and shook his head, "Have you watched "Dancing" and "Baidu·Qihang Text" without intense scenes? Who would watch such a boring documentary? "

A female employee next to me laughed and said, "Yeah, it's too boring."

"It's time for us to get off work and go to bed." Another person said.

Others followed the trend and said: "If we talk about new ideas, it means that the high-definition footage has a greater visual impact. What else? It is still the routine of ordinary documentaries."

"Isn't it just about taking pictures of delicious food? Who doesn't know how to take pictures?" Many people were laughing.

But soon, all of them stopped laughing!

The process continues on television.

Zhang Ye's voice is paired with wonderful shots.

"Although the taste of matsutake is unique, it has not been popular on the dining table for more than thirty years."

"Among the traditional recipes of China, there is another delicacy from the mountains and forests."

“Cut the freshest winter bamboo shoots into small pieces, add heavy oil and various seasonings, and it becomes the most common home-cooked dish in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang. In China, many people rely on bamboo forests for their lives, and they are also experts in understanding bamboo shoots... "

Scenes in the forest slowly unfolded, and each mouth-watering ingredient was displayed under the lens of a high-definition camera.

Revealing their most natural and original form.

Those bamboo shoots make people appetite just looking at them!

Even the freshly unearthed bamboo shoots in the picture made many people gulp unconsciously. Even those who had just eaten felt a fresh breath blowing against their faces. Even through the TV, they It seems like you can smell the moist and fragrant grass seeds in the mountains, and the high-definition camera undoubtedly amplifies this feeling countless times, even giving people the illusion of being there!

This is so beautiful!

This... is so real!

The people from the CCTV program team who had just been laughing at each other looked at each other, and everyone in the office area who was watching "Bite of the Tongue" was stunned!

"Tip of the Tongue" continues.

Many people have fallen silent, staring at the TV.

"Qi Hu and Qi Chen are two brothers. Every September, they come to Jiayu County, Hubei Province to dig for a natural delicacy. This plant grows in the deep mud under the lake. Qi Hu The rhizome of the dug plant is called lotus root, which is a highly productive vegetable in the lake."

"As professional lotus root diggers, Qi Hu and Qi Chen have to go out alone for seven months every year. During the lotus root picking season, they rush from their hometown in Anhui to places with lotus roots. The higher labor remuneration makes Qi Hu and Qi Chen willing to work This is hard work. People who dig lotus roots like the cold weather. This is not because it is easier to dig lotus roots when it is cold, but because more people buy lotus roots and eat lotus root soup when the weather is cold, and the price of lotus roots will rise."

silt.

Fresh lotus root.

Lotus root digger.

This is an ordinary scene, but it makes people in the city feel a sense of comfort that they have not seen for a long time. It is a kind of happiness and enjoyment that is difficult to express in words!

Is this Zhang Ye’s documentary?

Is this "China on the Bite of the Tongue"? ?

The host of CCTV's "Xingmeng·Qingwu·Feiyang" suddenly broke the silence, shook his head and laughed, "I underestimate Zhang Ye. His filming is still a little bit good, but no matter how good the filming is, It’s exquisite, it’s also a documentary, and it’s destined to have low ratings.”

Someone nodded, "Yeah, luckily it's a documentary, otherwise..."

"What else?" asked the colleague next to me.

The man smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, other programs at the same time might be really stressful."

An assistant director who had quarreled with Zhang Ye on the Internet said: "This guy named Zhang is obviously the first to take over a documentary. How come he can even shoot such an unpopular type of program?"

No one could answer him.

Because there is no answer in the first place.

…

Yan Tianfei's home.

Lao Yan is watching TV with his wife and family.

Just listen to Yan Tianfei keep talking, "The filming is great, great. For a documentary of this level, it is definitely not a problem to win a documentary award!"

His wife agreed from the side: "This film is really good. How can documentaries be filmed like this? I have never watched the programs on your channel before, but this "A Bite of China" is similar to other documentaries. The numbers are the same, but they seem to be completely different. Hey, Lao Yan, please turn your voice louder, I can’t hear you!"

Yan Tianfei sighed slightly again, "What a pity, what a pity."

His wife asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Tianfei said: "It's a pity that Zhang Ye is so talented. If he hadn't been given a documentary this time, he would have really had a chance to compete with "Dance." But our channel delayed him."

Although his wife also thought "Bite of the Tongue" was exciting, she also understood that no matter how exciting it was, it was a niche documentary and would not be qualified to compete with variety shows, so she continued to watch the show without saying anything.

…

Zhang Ye's parents' house.

My mother looked at the TV in shock, "Son, is this the documentary you made?"

"Yeah." Zhang Ye smiled, "Is it okay?"

My mother was surprised and said, "It's very good. It suits my taste. It's a show I like to watch." After a pause, she said, "But it may not be the case for others. Most of them probably won't be able to accept it."

Zhang Ye asked, "Why can't you accept it?"

"Because it's a niche." Mom said matter-of-factly.

Zhang Ye asked again, "Why the niche?"

Mom said: "Because it's a documentary."

Zhang Ye surrendered: "...Okay."

Zhang Ye knew that the concept that no one would watch documentaries was so deeply ingrained in people's minds in this world. Even though many people fell in love with this documentary at first glance, they still didn't think that others would be like him. No Think others will like it too.

Chenchen suddenly said: "Zhang Ye, I'm hungry."

Zhang Ye curled his lips and said, "Go and cook instant noodles yourself."

Chenchen pointed at the TV, "I want to eat fried bamboo shoots."

Mom smiled and patted Chenchen's head dotingly, "The restaurant is still open. Grandma will give you a call to order a meal. Just in time, I'm hungry too!"

Dad interrupted, "Order honey lotus root."

…

On CCTV Channel 14, everyone was still holding their ground.

However, just like Zhang Ye before, Ha Qi Qi did not realize that the TV program played in the office area by Zhang Zuo and others was also "Dancing", and they were also watching it.

Xiao Wang said angrily: "Why is it so lively?"

Ha Qiqi looked at Weibo on her phone and sighed, "The response from the audience seems to be good."

"With such a big publicity and so many celebrity mentors, how can it not be exciting?" Zhang Zuoye said with a heavy heart, "Do you really expect our documentary to compare with theirs?"

Wu Yiqiang said: "How many people can understand the art of dance?"

Zhang Zuo shook his head, "That's at least more than those who can understand documentaries, right?"

The liveliness and popularity of "Dancing Lightly" gave everyone in the column group a heavy blow, shattering their last illusions. They were still counting on "Dancing Lightly" to be broadcast, but it failed and caused an extremely poor reputation and ratings. With an unprecedented ratings of less than 0.3%, they may still have a chance to close the gap with the ratings of "Dancing" with their documentary, but now, there is definitely no hope!

It’s no surprise that people are so popular!

But what about them?

Where is their "Tongue"?

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard Tong Fu exclaiming!

"Look!" The voice was a bit loud.

Ha Qiqi was startled, "Hey, who stepped on your foot?"

Zhang Zuo looked over, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Tong Fu quickly said: "Read the comments! Go to Weibo!"

Everyone was wondering why Tong Fu was so frightened. As a result, they all logged on to Weibo and took a look. Everyone was a little dumbfounded and couldn't react for a while!

Netizens have left too many messages!

I haven't seen the others yet, but the one that catches my eye is the words "Tip of the Tongue" that fill the screen!

"Too beautiful!"

"I'm sorry, can the documentary be shot like this?"

"Is this a high-definition camera? Bullshit!"

"This picture is so exquisite that it looks like a big-budget movie! Zhang Ye shot the documentary so well!"

"I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of documentary! If it weren't for the commercial break for "Dance," I wouldn't have broadcast it on Channel 14, but I couldn't stop it once it started airing!"

"That's great! Zhang Ye's reputation is really great!"

"I came here just because of Zhang Ye's name. I didn't have any high hopes at first, but I didn't expect that "A Bite of China" gave me such a big surprise! This film is so innovative!"

"Ten thousand likes! I can't stop watching it!"

Yao Jiancai suddenly posted on Weibo, "I recommend my brother Zhang's new program, "China on the Bite of the Tongue", which is now airing. Everyone, hurry up and watch, I'll give you a stomachache!"

Beijing Satellite TV’s Hu Fei posted on Weibo: “I’m convinced!!”

Dong Shanshan: "Highly recommend "Bite of the Tongue"! The best documentary of this century!"

Zhang Yuanqi's manager Fang Weihong: "It's really a surprise! Teacher Zhang Ye's programs are always so sincere and so surprising!"

Grandma Zhang Xia forwarded it on Weibo: "This is a real documentary, so interesting!"

A well-known documentary director in the industry said: "I really didn't expect that in today's sluggish market environment, there are still people who can take documentaries to a new level. I recommend "A Bite of China", although it is in the ratings. You can't expect a documentary to have any good results, let alone compare with variety shows, but I think every documentary director should actually learn the shooting techniques and storytelling logic of "Bite of the Tongue", and know how to do it. It inspires people a lot, including me of course!”

A round of praise!

Almost everyone who has watched "Bite of the Tongue" is applauding!

Ha Qiqi was shocked on the spot!

Zhang Zuo was stunned!

The people in the "Bite of Tongue" column group all looked extremely surprised, because they didn't have high expectations for their documentary, and they didn't expect it to be like this!

…

CCTV set.

"Dancing" column group.

Xu Yipeng looked at the large LCD TV screen hanging on the wall of the column group and the fifth contestant appearing on it, with a smile on his face, nodding slightly from time to time, and then listened to the meager number of comments reported by the staff in his ears. He is very satisfied with the rising popularity of the show.

The show is definitely a hit!

There is no doubt about this!

The question now is, how high their premiere ratings will be!

At this time, an employee stammered, "Director Xu, Director Chen."

"What's wrong?" Chen Ye looked over with a smile on his face.

"Well, I don't know whether I should say it or not, but..." the employee still said: "The number of hot comments on Channel 14's "Bite of the Tongue" has increased a lot now."

Chen Ye didn't take it seriously, "Oh?"

Xu Yipeng smiled and said: "What do you think?"

"Everyone says it's good." The employee said cautiously, "The reputation is very good."

Chen Ye shook his head and said, "It's normal. Zhang Ye is a second-tier star and has a large number of fans. It's not surprising that some die-hard fans support him. Moreover, their documentary is a niche category and has a good reputation. It’s not like a variety show where you always get more scolds than likes.”

Xu Yipeng also took a look at the comments on "Bite of the Tongue" posted by a group of people on Weibo, and then said: "It seems that Zhang Ye didn't screw up the documentary, but it's still a documentary no matter what, so don't worry about the ratings. Damn it." At best, he would be able to win a decent documentary award, um, but that's not necessarily the case. Zhang Ye's reputation is so bad that he has offended people in seven or eight industries. If there is really a good award, It may not be awarded to him.”

To this day, they still don't take "Bite of the Tongue" seriously. From the beginning to the end, they have never regarded "Bite of the Tongue" as a competitor, because they all know that a well-praised work may not necessarily be a hit, and documentaries are meant to win awards. , will not consider the issue of popularity at all, and even if it wants to consider it, it is meaningless, because 90% of the audience will not watch documentaries. Documentaries only focus on word-of-mouth and follow the artistic route, and their variety shows are well received and praised. Word-of-mouth seems meaningless. They are more concerned about the box office and ratings. Therefore, the two program types are fundamentally different and are completely incomparable!

They won’t compare word-of-mouth with documentaries!

Likewise, documentaries don’t even think about competing with their variety shows for ratings!

…

The call came.

Hu Fei brought the same view.

"Hello, Brother Hu." Zhang Ye walked to the back room to answer his cell phone.

Hu Fei laughed and said: "You are really good! I haven't shown up for more than two months. It turned out that I was preparing for a big move. This film was amazing! Xiao Lu, Dafei, Dong Shanshan and I are all in the column The group is here to watch your show, and everyone is cheering for you and so happy for you!"

Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "Thank you everyone."

Hu Fei said: "You really know how to make documentaries? Can you still make it like this?"

Zhang Ye said modestly: "Taking blindly, shooting blindly."

"Have you read Weibo? The top three documentary directors in China have all praised "Bite of the Tongue" and have a very high opinion of you. I guess the highest award for documentary this year will definitely be yours. You can't run away!" Hu Fei is I was really happy for him and said, "But don't think too much about the ratings. There is definitely no hope. Just work well with Channel 14 and win the top documentary award!"

Zhang Ye smiled slightly and didn't want to argue anymore.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ye also browsed Weibo and looked at the comments from netizens. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the current situation was a little different from what he had imagined and exceeded his expectations. Overrated!

Is it too popular?

On the contrary, it is too popular!

According to Zhang Ye's previous budget, "Bite of the Tongue" would have to endure the humiliation. After all, what was the premiere ratings of the original "Bite of the Tongue" on his earth, the first episode of the first season? It’s only 0.012%! Not even a fraction of the worst variety show! Therefore, Zhang Ye operated this film with the momentum of building up the reputation in the early stage and then gradually spreading. But now the feedback from the public has surprised Zhang Ye. He knows that some of his measures have shown results!

For example, the controversy surrounding the premiere of "Dance!"

For example, the impact of his own huge popularity on "The Tip of the Tongue"!

These are all changes! This is all the reason why "Bite of Tongue" has gained popularity in advance!

"Bite of the Tongue" on this earth has taken a different path, so the operation and broadcast rhythm of the original "Bite of the Tongue" on the previous earth cannot be applied!

Perhaps, it is no longer necessary to have a lot of accumulation and nothing to make a fortune?

Perhaps now is the time to compete?

After Zhang Ye thought twice, he took out his mobile phone and called Yan Tianfei, "Hey, Director Yan, there is an urgent matter. I would like to temporarily change the broadcast time of "Bite of the Tongue"."

Yan Tianfei pondered, "How to change it?"

"Tonight, I want to broadcast two episodes of 'Bite of the Tongue' simultaneously until about ten o'clock!" Zhang Ye said: "It will end at the same time as "Dancing Tongue"!"

According to the original broadcast plan, "The Tip of the Tongue" will end before nine o'clock, and one episode of "Dancing" will take less than two hours including commercial time. In other words, after the broadcast of "The Tip of the Tongue", "The Tip of the Tongue" "Dance" actually still has half of its airing time.

Yan Tianfei said: "The time slot has been set. It is not impossible to change it now, but it will be more troublesome and requires contacting many departments. Is this necessary?"

Zhang Ye said firmly: "I think so."

Yan Tianfei asked, "Why?"

Zhang Ye was silent for a few seconds and said, "I will give you the answer tomorrow."

tomorrow?

Why give the answer tomorrow?

Yan Tianfei was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, I'll contact you. There are still twenty minutes left before the broadcast ends. There's still time. I'll also have people type out reminders for the continuous broadcast on the screen. Scroll to broadcast. Yes, anyone who is watching "Bite of the Tongue" will definitely see it."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I was willful." Zhang Ye apologized.

Yan Tianfei said: "You are the general person in charge and the general director of the "Tongue Tip" column group. You have your own considerations and your own judgment. I believe you."

Zhang Ye said: "Thank you very much. I will contact you elsewhere. I will go back to my work now!"

They are a documentary channel, and they are not involved in any nonsense such as hosts or column groups. The documentary scheduled to be broadcast at 9 o'clock is the copyright they bought. They will move it to a later broadcast or even not broadcast it at all. No one has an opinion, and the audience won't care, because no one is watching, so even if it is a temporary adjustment, there will be no nonsense.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ye quickly put on a coat and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to the work unit. It's urgent!" Then, he casually called Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo and the others who were still working overtime at the work unit!

"Old Ha, please don't leave! I'll be there soon!" Zhang Ye said.

Ha Qiqi was stunned and said, "Ah? Aren't you off work?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You still have the foresight to not leave yet. Wait until I arrive!"

…

online.

Soon someone got the news!

There are rolling subtitles on the screen of "Bite of the Tongue", and Zhang Ye and Channel 14's official Weibo also gave special tips and instructions!

Netizens were surprised and surprised!

"Wow, two episodes in a row?"

"Awesome! What a conscience in the industry!"

"Hahaha, I'm worried that I haven't had enough of it!"

“I just ordered a meal and it hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m watching the second episode and eating it at the same time!”

"Two episodes in a row? In total, it will be broadcast for the same length as "Dancing"? Well, what is Teacher Zhang Ye going to do? Why do I feel that this broadcast adjustment is unusual?"

"Could it be that you went there for "Dance"?"

"Khan, you are overthinking. Let alone two episodes in a row, just ten episodes in a row. Do you think a documentary can outperform a variety show? Or is it a large-scale talent show that gathers big names and costs 100 million? If it really happens In this situation, people from CCTV will vomit blood and jump off the building! How can you make the variety shows of all the TV stations in the country so embarrassed? It is unrealistic even if you think about it."

"Uh, that's right."

"Whatever, just broadcast it if you can!"

"Bite of the Tongue has a good reputation and more and more people are talking about it. In fact, not many people actually watch it. I guess it's just us who like to watch it."

"Well, I can't help it, it's a niche show. "

"Wow, why did the second episode air without commercials?"

"Didn't any of the ads for "Bite of Tongue" sell?"

“Who do you think will buy advertising for a documentary?”

"That's right, stop talking about it, I don't care if others like it or not, as long as I like it, I'm going to watch the second episode, haha!"

"Let's go together!"

"look forward to!"

…

Episode two.

"The Story of Staple Foods."

"Staple foods generally provide most of the calories humans need."

"Chinese people's cooking skills are unique. From the most ordinary pot of rice and steamed buns to the ever-changing exquisite staple food, they are all the result of Chinese people's hard work and accumulated experience. However, no matter how much they eat, Wine, food, dishes, and staple food are always the final protagonists on the Chinese table.”

The music is melodious.

The steam from the food in the picture seems to be floating out of the TV.

…

As word-of-mouth spreads, more and more people turn to Channel 14. Some people who haven't even watched the first episode heard about "The Tip of the Tongue" from the Internet or from friends and neighbors, and they all turned their attention curiously. Came here to see what this documentary is like!

As a result, it was out of control!

Many people only watched it a few times and then couldn’t change the channel! 〖To be continued〗【】
