Recording studio.
“Our viewing friends, how are you!?”
“I am Zhang Ye.”
“Let us carry on talking about the Three Kingdoms for today’s ‘Lecture Room’.”
……
The morning’s recording ended with the applause from the audience.
Hu Fei led his team to the cafeteria for a meal. Today, Hu Fei was treating. When they made payment, his meal card was swiped. He bought a variety of dishes, not just a simple mixed rice meal.
Xiao Lu raised her head in an exaggerated fashion, “We’re doomed. This is the indicator for working overtime.”
Hou Ge agreed with a nod, “And from the looks of it, it’s not as simple as an hour or two.”
Hu Fei was amused, “Are you the only ones that are smart? That’s right; we need to work overtime today, so I want to reward all of you first. I’ll be settling your dinner, too. Everyone, let’s work hard. After busying ourselves today, we can rest for quite a number of days. Teacher Little Zhang said that there are another 11 episodes before we finish recording ‘Analysis of the Three Kingdoms ‘. We finished recording three episodes in the morning, and by busying ourselves in the afternoon, and doing a few hours of overtime, we should be able to finish it today. Although there’s no rush to finish all of it today, the earlier we finish, the earlier we can start on other tasks.”
As Dafei ate, he said, “I’m fine with it. I just do offstage work. The main problem is with Teacher Zhang… ”
“I asked Little Zhang already. He’s fine with it.” Hu Fei looked at Zhang Ye, “Do you need me to give you an hour to take a nap in the afternoon? So you can keep thinking straight? After all, recording a program is quite physically tiring.”
Zhang Ye smiled. “There’s no need to. Back at the radio station, my highest record was recording 15 hours of programs. I’m not tired. It’s not a big deal.”
Xiao Lu gave a thumbs up, “Ironman Teacher Zhang!”
Most of his colleagues knew that Teacher Zhang Ye’s off script skills, which were to the point of recording ten episodes without a single stutter or a mistake, were nothing that any of the hosts in the television station could compare with. Even those star hosts from satellite channels who were more famous than Zhang Ye were impressed by him! No one knew how Teacher Zhang Ye’s brain worked. He did not mix up any information of history in his mind. Everything was said clearly without a missing word, and he never had a script!
His colleagues all believed that he was probably a so-called genius or polymath. This was something that ordinary people like them could not fathom.
As they ate, there was suddenly discussions in the cafeteria.
Zhang Ye looked up and saw Wang Shuixin walk in. There were a few people with cameras behind him. From their clothing, they were most likely newspaper reporters.
“Director Wang, can we take photographs freely?” a reporter asked.
Wang Shuixin’s expression looked helpless, “Reporters, how big is this matter that you have to make a special focus of me? There’s no need, there’s really no need.”
The reporter said, “Yesterday, you helped a child who couldn’t afford to go to school. By supporting his education, this is a quality many of us need to learn. You are a Leader in the media circle, and by leading with example, we definitely need to write a special focus.”
Wang Shuixin sighed, “It’s too much of raising a big rumpus. Helping children is something expected of me, and it is something that I should do. What’s there to talk about?”
A reporter said, “Don’t say that. If you say that, you make us ashamed. Few of us have such enlightened thoughts like yours.”
