Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The next day .
On the day of the recording .
In the morning at Beijing Television .
"Eh, where's Director Zhang?"
"I don't know . "
"He was around a bit ago . "
"Brother Hu, Director Zhang fell asleep backstage . "
"Director Zhang didn't sleep all night . "
"Aiya, the audience is already here . Tell him to persevere and work some overtime . "
"Alright, I got it . I'll go and wake up Director Zhang then . "
The audience had already been admitted into the studio .
The singers were all standing by .
Only the director was not here yet .
Zhang Ye got woken up, then forced himself to go wash and freshen up with some cold water . When he came out, he bumped into Xiaodong and Amy in the corridor as they came over to greet him .
Xiaodong asked, "Can you save the show?"
Zhang Ye nodded . "I've handled it . "
Amy gave him a look . "Director Zhang, you're so bad . I saw your Weibo post yesterday, hahahaha . Central TV Department 1 must hate you to the bone!"
Zhang Ye laughed, "I got hacked . "
"Yi!" Amy jeered .
A ways away, Zhang Xia spotted the three of them while heading to the bathroom .
Zhang Xia came over and asked, "Little Zhang, has the replacement singer arrived yet?"
Zhang Ye answered, "I suppose so . "
"Who is it?" Amy immediately asked .
Zhang Xia also asked curiously, "Do I know who it is?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Probably . "
Xiaodong said, "What about me?"
"You probably know too," Zhang Ye said .
He didn't disclose much and quickly turned to head back to the front to get back to work .
Half an hour later .
The studio was packed and the audience was deep in discussions .
"Did you guys see Weibo yesterday?"
"I did, hahaha, it made me laugh my ass off!"
"Zhang Ye is itching for a beating! That was so ruthless!"
"He's a total quack . "
"But that was such an outlet . Central TV deserved it for starting the fight . "
"That's right . I wonder how I Am a Singer will turn things around today . The singers can't host anymore, right? Who will do it then? Dong Shanshan? Zhang Ye?"
"Who knows? But if they do it that way, the rules will have to be changed . "
"I still prefer having the singers host . "
"Yeah . If they change the rules now, it'll affect the viewership ratings . "
"The issue is that everyone's gotten used to the singers guest hosting the show . It's been ingrained into the minds of the viewers . "
Onstage .
The band was in position .
The staff were in position .
Counting down:
Three .
Two .
One .
Recording began!
The audience was already intently staring with wide eyes, wanting to see just how the show would deal with the change . Then they saw a person holding a microphone walking onstage from below . Cries of surprise rang out . Everyone was taken aback, with some of them laughing loudly . In an instant, everyone stood up and applauded thunderously!
It was him!
It was indeed him!
The singers backstage were also quite happy .
Zhang Xia said with a smile, "In the end, it's still Little Zhang hosting . "
Chen Guang said, "I coulda guessed . It was either gonna be him or Dong Shanshan . "
Xiaodong said happily, "He's both the executive director and the host . It's so hard on Teacher Zhang . "
Zhang Ye stood onstage . He smiled and said, "Hello, everyone . Welcome to the stage of I Am a Singer, brought to you exclusively by our title sponsor, the leader in health products, Brain Gold . I am your host for today, a host with a 'license' to 'operate . ' I've been awarded the highest honor in the hosting world—I'm a true blue and legal host . Oh, some of you might be curious about where Sister Dong has gone? Well, Sister Dong is illegal and had been reported to the authorities by someone . She's currently busy trying to get a host license . "
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
Laughter rang out in the audience .
This guy! He doesn't forget to get the jabs in when he comes on!
Zhang Ye continued, "So when Sister Dong found out that I'm the stand-in host today, she specifically came to look for me and repeatedly reminded me about one thing . She told me that I must let everyone know about this . As it's a very important matter, can those of you with a pen please note it down?"
Everyone was stunned .
What was it?
What was so important?
Everyone pricked their ears up .
Zhang Ye cleared his throat as his expression changed . Suddenly, he spoke speedily, "Thank you to the leading health supplement brand, Brain Gold Company, for being the title sponsors of our show . Thank you to Hubei Pharmaceuticals' strong support for us . If you're going to use a tablet, use Lilai's eight-inch tablet with multi-core technology . Honey Sweet fruit juice, so sweet that you can feel it in your heart!"
The audience burst out laughing!
Was that it?
This was what you meant by something important? Your sister!
Wasn't that just the fucking advertisements!
The singers backstage were also laughing hard, especially Xiaodong . While not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she was also quite impressed . She suddenly thought that the SARFT's issued article was not without reason . Seeing Zhang Ye's hosting and looking at her own hosting, there was obviously a gulf in their styles . That was the difference between a professional host who had won the Golden Microphone Award and a guest host like her . Be it the rhythm, humor, adaptability, enunciation, or stage control, she was still lacking by too much .
These lines by Zhang Ye fired up the audience!
Zhang Ye calmly said, "So then, let us get today's competition started . Today's first performer will be the replacement singer for this week, so let's hand the stage over to him . "
Applause sounded .
Backstage, the singers all stuck out their necks in wait . Who could it be? Was it an old friend? They were all hoping that it wouldn't be someone too strong, because the people who were performing on this stage were already great singers .
The audience also turned to face the moon gate .
Who was it?
Why couldn't they see anyone?
But there were also some people in the audience who weren't paying attention .
"They changed the rules in the end . "
"Yeah, what else could they have done?"
"Hai, Central TV Department 1 is really too wicked . "
"Let's just keep watching . "
"Yeah, Zhang Ye's hosting is still pretty good . Even if it's not a singer hosting, so be it . "
"But it's still such a pity . "
"With a singer as the host, the interactions backstage are more interesting to watch . "
"This will definitely affect the quality of the show . "
Some musical instruments were brought up onto the stage .
The microphone stands were put into place .
Gradually, around 20 men and women appeared . The men were all wearing black suits while the women were dressed in white . It looked like they were a backing choir? Or was it going to be a choral performance?
The audience could not understand .
Amy wondered, "What's all of that for?"
Zhang Xia said in anticipation, "Just who has come?"
Xiaodong smiled and said, "This is a pretty large ensemble . What are they going to sing? Could it be a bel canto singer? A friend of Grandma Zhang's?"
Everything was set and ready .
The lights dimmed .
