Chapter 251: Zhang Ye’s Continuous Saving off the Situation!
Seconds changed to minutes as time pa.s.sed!
The live broadcast of “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” was going to begin at any moment!
At this moment, the online viewers had already gathered to wait for 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 them was those who supported Zhang Ye’s face slapping. They hoped to see Zhang Ye going off-script for the whole 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 weren’t able to do it, but our Chinese hosts can! The other camp was specially here to discredit Zhang Ye. They were all Lee Parkwoo’s fans or Hallyu fans!
Both sides were like fire and water!
When they saw each other on the comments section of the WebTV video, they engaged in a war of words!
The first comment of the day came from an old hardcore fan of Zhang Ye’s. Even if you did not know his name, you’d know him by what he says. “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! Come quickly, Koreans! I haven’t cursed in 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 battle!”
“Where’s the Korean? Where’s the Korean’s fans? Quickly come out!”
Zhang Ye’s fans began to crazily call for battle. They could no longer wait!
Some visitors and industry insiders were level headed. They wanted to see if Zhang Ye could successfully do the first ever live broadcast for online television and to see if he could really go off-script for the whole 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 in without a care, nor bothering about who Zhang Ye was. Because it didn’t matter, 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 signs of weakness. Their numbers were large too and they were highly cohesive. They did not speak reason. No matter what Lee Parkwoo said, it was definitely right!
“Tell Zhang Ye to scram!”
“Zhang Ye, you are a stupid pig!”
“You dare to challenge our Lee Parkwoo? Fine! Let’s see who has more fans!”
“Still a live broadcast? You are 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 in 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.
Zhang Ye’s three female cousins had also joined in 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 doing it off-script?”
“I’m so nervous. Our brother’s memory hasn’t been very good since he was young, right?”
“Those Hallyu fans are so irritating! Hmph! They dared to curse 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 before she suddenly shouted, “The opening has played! Aunt, come over quickly!”
Rao Aimin groaned, “What’s so nice 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 will suffer? It will be weird if he suffers with that mouth of his!”
At the same time.
Hu Fei was also watching television at home. He had already connected the WebTV’s signal to his smart TV, so he could watch it on his sofa.
Xiao Lu, Dafei, Hou Ge and Hou Di were all also at home watching the live broadcast.
Some industry outsiders who knew about the matter came to join in the fun and help Zhang Ye argue back at those Hallyu brainless 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 joined in after hearing about it. “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” had became so hotly discussed on the internet and was involved in an argument with Hallyu fans, so everyone was 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 of the studio.
In the studio, there was a solidarity feeling against a common enemy. The people who applied for the tickets to the show were mainly fans of Zhang Ye. They all had the same hatred towards the Koreans!
But there was an exception in this studio.
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 looked at a dark scene. He took a sip of tea to smoothen his vocals and pa.s.sed the teacup to a staff at the side. His facial expression suddenly changed as he walked in big steps onto the stage. He still did 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, the world’s top Talk Show host….. Zhang Ye!” This long introduction was said in one breath!
He entered the stage in a grand manner.
The audience was laughing, applauding and even whistling!
“Yi!”
“Yi!”
“Go down!”
“Haha! Can you be any more shameless!?”
If it were any other celebrity or public figure introducing themselves in such a manner, they would definitely be cussed out as there would be a lot of voices of dissatisfaction. But somehow, this sort of boastful self introduction that came out of Zhang Ye’s mouth was accepted as normal by everyone, they even thought it was very funny!
The live broadcast had already begun!
But suddenly, the black guy sitting right in front suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it out, lifting it above his head. On it wrote a few words — Zhang Ye is a pig!
There was an uproar from the audience!
The faces on the company’s Leaders and colleagues from the program team immediately changed!
“Who’s that?”
“Who let him in!?”
“What is he doing!?”
“This is a live broadcast program!”
“Cameras! Cameras! Quickly move them away! Stop showing the audience!”
Sister Four hurriedly shouted to the filming crew!
But it was too late as the cameras were already focused on the audience when they were clapping and laughing. Every viewer had seen it. It was not known if this black man was a Hallyu fan or was instigated by someone, but how dare he come to make trouble at the studio!
Feng Guiqin’s expressions were ugly!
w.a.n.g Xiong’s face turned gloomy. He nearly went forward to beat him up!
But Zhang Ye was very calm; furthermore, he smiled at that man. The shot had already been broadcasted out, so he did not deliberately avoid this matter. It would in fact appear abnormal. Instead, Zhang Ye said to him, “Yo, we have a black friend here too? But you don’t look very good. You might not have many days left, so enjoy your life as much as possible.”
“Ha? Why?” The black guy was still raising the banner, but he obviously looked doubtful. Not only did he understand Zhang Ye’s words, he also knew how to speak Mandarin Chinese, just not at a good standard.
Why would I not have many days left?
Zhang Ye pretended to look like an old seer as he counted with his fingers pinched, then he pointed at him, “Because your glabella seems very dark (means you are seriously ill or can potentially have bad things happen to you in physiognomy)!”
The audience was stunned, then burst out laughing!
“Hahaha! Glabella seems dark?”
“That’s a sign of dying!”
“He’s black! How can his glabella not be dark, dude!”
“Teacher Zhang Ye is too damaging! But…I like it!”
The black man was at a loss upon seeing an unangry Zhang Ye end up flipping the tables on him. He could only silently keep the banner and not say a word.
An incident that would have caused much trouble was easily resolved by Zhang Ye with just a few words. He did not lose out on the argument but instead schooled the opponent into submission!
w.a.n.g Bei said happily, “Zhang Ye is indeed Zhang Ye!”
Dong Shanshan smiled, “I told you, his mouth is really that wicked.”
Ah Qian was in total admiration, “Teacher Zhang’s joke segments really keeps coming without a pause! This was obviously unexpected, but Teacher Zhang’s easily handled it with a spontaneous joke segment! So impressive!” In the past, Ah Qian’s ambitions were to be a host instead of a producer. He also wished to stand on stage, to let everyone see him. This thought did not die until today. When he saw how Zhang Ye performed on stage, Ah Qian extinguished all thoughts of himself becoming a host. He no longer felt that he was just as good as others, now he understood the gulf between him and a real host!
Feng Guiqin heaved a sigh of relief.
Many other colleagues also heaved a sigh of relief.
But just as Zhang Ye was about start the show proper, an accident happened!
Yang Yang, that guy from Human Resources had been standing at the side near the stage watching the recording. He was with many other colleagues standing there and jostling around in the crowd when he wanted to take a tiny step back. In the end, he accidentally knocked into a lighting rack at the back and caused it to fall over. It smashed into the ground with a thunderous noise!
Smas.h.!.+
Yang Yang was dumbfounded!
Everyone around him looked at him in shock!
Yang Yang swore, even if he had a score to settle with Zhang Ye and did not like him much, he still knew the occasion today and would never do that on purpose!
The live audience did not see it happening, but they heard the deafening cras.h.!.+
Another wave of calamity before the previous wave had settled? Everyone’s face went pale, what the heck was happening? Why was there another interruption? This was a live broadcast, how should we clear this up now!
w.a.n.g Xiong angrily said, “What’s wrong with you!
The production team was now totally humbled, it’s over! This time, it’s really a live broadcast incident!
The audience had heard it clearly and there was some commotion. As for the audience watching the live broadcast at home on their computers, they were definitely discussing about it now!
It exploded online!
Those Hallyu fans were all in great spirit!
“Hehehehe! What did I say!”
“The mess has just started! An incident has occurred! Serves you right!”
But just as many people on the sidelines were gloating at this, while many of the colleagues present were anxious, Zhang Ye remained calm. The next moment, he looked in horror at the ceiling and clasped his hands together and bowed twice, “Sorry for disturbing you. We will leave once we finish recording. We will leave once we finish recording!”
The next moment, the audience burst into laughter after being momentarily stunned!
“Ahahahaha!”
“Can you not be so funny!”
“Teacher Zhang! Who are you talking to!?”
“Aiyah, I can’t take it anymore!” Are you speaking to the Spirit of the Studio!?”
“Did we alarm the old esteemed Spirit of the Studio? Hahahaha!”
