I’m Really a Superstar

The next day.

Saturday morning.

After driving downstairs, Zhang Ye went straight to a temporary newsstand at the entrance of his parents' community, put on his sunglasses and got out of the car to buy a newspaper. The owner of the newsstand has known Zhang Ye for a long time. He knows that he lives here and often comes to buy newspapers from him. Therefore, even if Zhang Ye is wearing sunglasses, he knows it is him just by looking at his silhouette.

"Teacher Zhang is here?" the boss smiled.

Zhang Ye nodded, "Here we go, Youth Daily, Morning News, and Beijing Times, all the same."

"Okay." The boss skillfully picked out three newspapers and handed them to him, "Are you working overtime today?"

"Yes, there are a lot of things waiting for me, and I won't be able to rest on Saturday." Zhang Ye paid.

"I watched your documentary yesterday." The boss said excitedly: "Oh, it's so good that I can't describe it. I watched the second episode first, and then I watched the replay and found the first episode. Several neighbors around me Same thing, I’ve all watched it, and they all said they’ve never seen such a wonderful documentary, it’s more fascinating than watching a TV series, when will the next one be broadcast?”

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "It's next Friday."

Boss: "Yes, I will definitely watch it on time."

Zhang Ye: "Thank you for your support."

Boss: "Yes, they are all neighbors!"

On the opposite side, several elders and aunties were facing Zhang Ye. They were all old neighbors, and some of them lived in the same apartment building as Zhang Ye's family, so they naturally recognized him at a glance.

"Hey, Xiaoye!"

"Aunt Cui, Uncle Sun, how many of you went shopping for groceries?"

"Yeah, you go to work?"

"Well, I'm working overtime today."

"Your "A Bite of China" was so well shot!"

"Hey, you watched it too?"

"Of course, can we not watch your film? It's great, it's great!"

"Haha, thank you, I'll keep working hard."

"Is there any content in the next few episodes? Let's take a look first.

"

"Ah? This unit has regulations and the film source cannot be released."

"You are the leader of the column team, so why don't you have the final say? Aren't what you say just the rules? Then, tell us what will be broadcast in the second episode."

After struggling for a while, Zhang Ye got out and got into the car. He took out several newspapers and flipped through them one by one in the car.

"The tip of the tongue has gained a very high reputation!" 》

"Zhang Ye is at the helm of a documentary for the first time, and his directing ability is amazing! 》

"Last night, Zhang Ye used his work to tell everyone in the industry: Documentaries can be shot this way! 》

"The famous documentary director praised Tongue, saying that all documentary directors should learn from it!" 》

"Yao Jiancai, Chen Guang, Dong Shanshan and others all expressed their support! 》

"According to statistics, between eight o'clock and eleven o'clock last night, the order volume of several delicacies and raw materials broadcast on the tip of the tongue in online stores increased sevenfold! Many stores didn't even know what was going on and called overnight to ask if there was a system error! 》

"Does Documentary Say Goodbye to the Downturn? 》

"Zhang Ye's golden signboard is still very loud! 》

"Tip of the Tongue Ratings Guess!" 》

"In the past five years, the best ratings for national documentaries have been 0.172%, and the average ratings for nearly a thousand documentaries have been 0.034%. Can the tip of the tongue make history?" 》

"The reporter called industry insiders, and professionals predicted that the ratings of Tip of the Tongue are not optimistic: Documentaries have been weak for a long time, and the audience is too small, so we cannot expect to have any good ratings. The most important thing for a documentary is word-of-mouth. No matter how low the ratings are, it is normal. , Tip of the Tongue has actually succeeded! 》

"A stunning large-scale documentary!" 》

"How many talents does Zhang Ye still have in his belly?" 》

Zhang Ye was very satisfied when he looked at the newspaper that was full of news about "The Tip of the Tongue". Although if he flipped through it again, there were actually twice as many reports about "Dancing" in the newspaper, but he was not surprised. , a variety show with so many celebrities, it is normal to have such exposure, so Zhang Ye put the gear into gear, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards CCTV.

…

unit.

Today is a day off, but there are a lot of people coming to work. This is usually the case for organizations like TV stations. Sometimes holidays are even busier than normal working days.

Get off the car and go through the gate.

Along the way, Zhang Ye was treated like a crowd. Countless people cast their surprised eyes on him and pointed and commented from time to time.

"Look, Zhang Ye!"

"Which of you watched "Bite of the Tongue" yesterday?"

"I saw it! It's awesome!"

"I didn't want to watch it at first, but when I came home after working overtime at night, I saw my dad, mom and aunt watching "Bite of the Tongue" there. I could only watch it for a few times, and then I watched it all at once. At ten o'clock, I have to admit that Zhang Ye nailed the documentary!"

“The online reputation is very good.”

"I saw it, they all liked it."

"CCTV wants to hide Zhang Ye in the snow? How can such a fierce man be able to hide in the snow?"

"Yes, this guy seems to shine wherever he goes!"

"You can't say that. Not many people watch "Bite of the Tongue". It just has a good reputation. In fact, it doesn't have many ratings. It's just a few tenths of a rating. What's the difference between it and Xuezang? Compared with Zhang Ye's popularity as a second-tier star is completely disproportionate and cannot support his continued climb."

"Of course it can't be compared with "Dancing Dance", but after a documentary has been filmed like this, what else can you expect "Bite of the Tongue" to do? If a documentary can really compare with a large-scale talent show like "Dancing Dance" The show is canceled? Then the whole world will go crazy!"

"Well, this is already a good result."

"Yes, don't use the standards of variety shows to demand documentaries. It's unfair."

"After all, it's actually "Dance" that's popular! Although it has mixed reviews, it's definitely not as popular, and there's no problem with the program's quality. I watched it yesterday, and it was pretty good!"

"Chen Ye is also popular this time."

"Yes, he is so lucky. He caught up with good programs and good times."

"If this continues, by the time "Dancing Dance" is over, Chen Ye's popularity will probably catch up with Zhang Ye's. Even if he can't catch up, at least the gap won't be that big."

“‘Dancing’ is leading the trend again!”

"CCTV's set is still the biggest winner."

"No matter how fierce Zhang Ye is, a documentary is still a documentary after all. It depends on popularity, influence, and ultimately the ratings. Everything else is just empty!"

"Now let's see if the premiere of "Dancing" can break 1."

"There should be no suspense about the 1% ratings!"

"The continuation of the popularity of "The Voice" has added a lot of viewers to "Dance."

…

upstairs.

Channel 14, "Tongue Tip" column group.

Zhang Ye came to work a little late because he was delayed for a while on the road. When he arrived, he found that Yan Tianfei and his secretary were already standing in the office area of ​​his column team.

"Xiao Zhang is here?" Yan Tianfei turned around and smiled.

Ha Qiqi and the others also said hello.

"Director Zhang."

"Director Zhang, morning."

"Good morning, Director Zhang!"

Everyone was in high spirits and in good spirits.

Zhang Ye hurriedly said: "Mr. Yan, are you here?"

Yan Tianfei nodded his head, "Your column team has worked hard these days, and everyone has made a lot of efforts in climbing mountains and wading in rivers. The response to "The Tip of the Tongue" has been good after it was broadcast. I came to express my condolences to everyone, especially you, Teacher Zhang. This time You have to take the first credit for the smooth broadcast of the show."

Zhang Ye chuckled and waved his hands, "I don't dare. It's all due to General Yan's good leadership and everyone's collective efforts."

Yan Tianfei asked: "The show has a good reputation. What are your plans for broadcasting next week?"

Zhang Ye said: "There won't be a one-day broadcast next week. I want to broadcast one episode on Friday and another on Saturday. Split it into two days, so as to consolidate the popularity."

"Okay, you can make arrangements." Yan Tianfei paused deliberately and suddenly smiled: "There is another good news to inform everyone. This morning, someone from this year's TV program selection committee has contacted us. If "Bite of the Tongue" is added to the nominations for Best Documentary of the Year, it only aired for one day and only two episodes. The people on the selection side will make an exception and add nominations. This has never happened before in history!"

"ah?"

"real or fake?"

"Very good!"

"Wow, do you have a chance to win a prize?"

Everyone was overjoyed. Wasn't this the day they had worked so hard for two months?

Zhang Ye smiled, not as excited as others. In his opinion, winning awards is good, but what he values ​​most is the ratings. "Leader, when will the ratings come out?"

Yan Tianfei was stunned, "Ratings? Oh, around ten o'clock in the morning." After thinking about it, Yan Tianfei still said to him: "Xiao Zhang, the nomination for "Bite of the Tongue" this time is not an ordinary award, it is the country's highest documentary award. It is also the highest honor a documentary can receive in China. Our focus now is to securely win this award. As for the ratings, the selection committee will not care too much. After all, documentary ratings are generally not high. Everyone Don’t make fun of anyone if they are all half-measured. If you look at this award, then no one can tell the reason. It still depends on reputation and art.”

Zhang Ye said: "I understand."

"So I have to give you a vaccination." Yan Tianfei was afraid that he would fall too far behind, so he said, "As I said, don't expect too high ratings."

Yan Tianfei's secretary also smiled and said: "Yes, Director Zhang, the ratings of our "Bite of the Tongue" don't have to be compared with variety shows. It just needs to be higher than the ratings of documentaries of the same type."

The excellent reputation of "Bite of the Tongue" has made everyone extremely excited, but when it comes to ratings, everyone is relatively shy, so they are always talking about winning awards or being nominated for the highest award, because no matter how good the reputation of "Bite of the Tongue" is, , they don't think it can be compared with a series of variety shows such as "Dancing" and "I Love to Remember Lyrics". This is not a sign of lack of confidence, but they all know that this is simply not possible.

…

CCTV set.

Director Jiang Naixiong and deputy director Jiang Yuan were talking in the office.

"Have the ratings come out?" Jiang Naixiong asked.

Jiang Yuandao: "Not yet, the statistics are a bit slow today. I have called several times, but they haven't finished it yet. It should be around ten o'clock, and the fastest will be nine-thirty."

Jiang Naoxiong looked at his watch, "It won't be long."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, we will know the result when the ratings come out. Lao Xu and Chen Ye are quite confident. Judging from the number of clicks and topics, the ratings must be very high. Of course, they may not be able to compete with " "The Voice" has higher ratings than the first broadcast, but there is a high possibility that the latecomers will catch up."

Jiang Naixiong also felt relaxed and said with a smile: "Very good, this key project must be done well. The entire CCTV and the entire industry are waiting to see our answer."

Jiang Yuan affirmed: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"I heard that the documentary on Channel 14 has a good reputation?" Jiang Naixiong said.

Jiang Yuan said without thinking: "It's okay. It's just a lively shouting, but in fact not many people watched it. We don't even have publicity funds, and we don't even do basic advertising. Who would watch a documentary? It's Zhang Ye. Those die-hard fans are just shouting, and at worst the ratings are 0.1%, which is as high as the sky."

downstairs.

In the "Dancing" column group, everyone is also discussing these things. In the newspaper news, his column takes up almost half of the page. Everyone has an unprecedented confidence. In the office area, many people have begun to celebrate. , getting ready for a celebration banquet.

"Director Xu, please treat me!"

"Yes, Director Xu and Director Chen are treating us!"

"This time it all depends on the leadership of Director Xu and Teacher Chen, otherwise our program would not be like this. The national media and the Internet are talking about our program."

"I heard that some TV stations are already following our lead. Tianjin Satellite TV is planning to launch a dance talent show next year!"

"Our show is very popular!"

"What about "I Love Memorizing Lyrics" and "Family Joy"? Let's go with them all!"

"Yes, our ratings will definitely beat all variety shows. This time, we must be the number one variety show in the country! Who else? Who else can compete with us for the number one spot?"

A group of people were booing and excited.

Xu Yipeng smiled and said, "The ratings haven't come out yet."

A female employee laughed and said: "Why don't we wait for the statistics to come out? It's a done deal!"

Chen Yeye said: "There is really no variety show in the same period that can compete with us. Even if "I Love to Remember Lyrics" is revised and aired, there will be no chance."

…

on Weibo.

Countless people participated in the discussion.

“Where are the ratings for ‘Dancing’?”

"Still not coming out?"

"With our leader Huo here, the ratings will be unbeatable!"

"Come on Chen Ye, keep an eye on you!"

"No one can stop the pace of "Dancing"!"

"CCTV's set has really risen in the field of variety shows!"

"I'm actually more concerned about the ratings of 'Tongue'."

"Upstairs, don't worry about this. Let's compare the ratings of "Bite of Tongue" with documentaries of the same type. It can't be compared with the variety show industry."

"But the person who filmed "Bite of the Tongue" is Zhang Ye!"

"That's impossible. You're forcing yourself to do something difficult."

"Haha, it's another 'tongued dog'. You guys have been binging the screen since last night. Are you tired? Are you annoyed? Is it fun to brag about a broken documentary? And the ratings? A fraction of the ratings of "Dancing" It has to be several times higher than "The Tip of the Tongue", I'm confused, don't you understand?"

"Hey, it's out!"

"What's coming out?"

"The ratings seem to be out!"

"Wow, where is it? I'll go take a look!"

At nine forty, a statistic came out!

…

Netizens saw what was posted online, while people in the "Dancing" column group saw the internal form. They were actually the same, but they saw it a little earlier.

Xu Yipeng and Chen Ye held a form.

"I'm coming!"

"How much exactly?"

"Huh, I'm a little nervous!"

"Director Xu, how much is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Ouch, I'm so impatient!"

Everyone looked at the two directors eagerly.

Next, Chen Ye smiled slightly and said to everyone, "Very good."

Then, Xu Yipeng shook the form on his hand and showed it to everyone, "The ratings of the first episode of "Dancing" are 1.27%! There is no doubt that it ranks first in the variety show category in the country!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered!

"marvelous!"

"Haha, so handsome!"

"I knew it!"

"1. 27%? The first broadcast broke 1!"

"It's really good. How many of today's variety shows can break 0.5% in the first time? In the past few years, apart from "The Voice", the first show that has broken 1% in the first time is "Dance!"

"Finally we can have a celebration banquet!"

“With this momentum, we can go even higher in the future!”

Although the ratings are not as high as they expected, they are still much higher than the bottom line ratings they expected. It can be said to be a satisfactory answer, although it cannot be said to be perfect.

Chen Ye suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, what are the ratings of "Bite of the Tongue"?"

Xu Yipeng also smiled and said: "It's not in the form, it should be available online, right?"

Chen Ye gloated and said, "I'll go take a look."

Thinking about Zhang Ye's original poem "Rotten Fruit", Chen Ye and the others were waiting to see the joke!
