The live broadcast ended.
Just like the previous episode, the audience gave a standing ovation, with no one leaving.
Zhang Ye already knew how to handle the situation, so he walked off stage, “Thank you everyone, but the program has ended. If there’s still a chance to in the future, we would like to invite you again. It has been tough on you, our staff members still need to clean up the set for the next program’s recording. Please go home and rest. Those who are interested, you can follow me on Weibo or Tieba, and we can have some interaction online.”
A female member of the audience cheered, “Teacher Zhang, I love you!”
A male member of the audience also shouted, “Haha, Teacher Zhang, I love you too!”
Another girl added, “You did such a great job! You are No.1 in the entertainment industry! You are the most unique celebrity domestically and in the entire world! Any other celebrities can be replaced, any celebrity, but it can’t do without you! Teacher Zhang Ye! No one can replace you! You spoke in such a godly fashion today!”
“Zhang Ye! Great scolding today!” a middle aged man yelled out.
Zhang Ye held his hands together and thanked them, “Thank you, thank you everyone.”
The audience started to leave the recording studio one by one. As usual, those that wanted autographs and photos were spared five minutes by Zhang Ye.
When the audience had finally cleared out, their faces had expressions that seemed to say they wanted more. Although they did not know each other, their relationships grew closer because of the program. They all left in groups of two or three, laughing and discussing the joke segments performed today!
……
The doors closed.
It was all their own people now.
Only then did Zhang Ye collapse into a seat in the audience stands. He leaned back and closed his eyes, motionless. Today’s episode was much more intense than the previous one. It sapped all of his physical and mental strength. Because it was a live broadcast, there was no time to rest and no second chances. Every joke segment was a one time deal and he had to ensure that they were delivered with the biggest impact. There was one or two joke segments that he did not deliver well enough to achieve the maximum effect, but overall it wasn’t too bad. It couldn’t be considered a flaw since they were still within his acceptable standards. After all, a program could never be perfect, it was the same for anyone. At best, it would slowly evolve towards perfection and be done better.
“Teacher Zhang, water!” A female staff member rushed over and hurriedly gave him a bottle of mineral water. She even unscrewed the cap for him, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Zhang Ye took it from her and drank.
“Here’s a warm towel.” Another intern came over. He was a college senior and had been assigned to Zhang Ye’s team the moment he entered the company.
“Thank you.” Zhang Ye used it to wipe his sweat off his face.
Feng Guiqin was seen walking to the side of the stage, as she said, “You guys, hold up.”
Several company employees had watched the free live broadcast and were about to leave. When they were stopped by the Leader, they all turned their heads.
Feng Guiqin said with a deadpan expression, “Right at the beginning of the live broadcast, who knocked over the lamp?”
No one spoke. This sort of matter would offend people, but still, a few people looked towards Yang Yang.
Yang Yang knew he could not keep it under the wraps as he bit the bullet and stepped forward, “Director Feng, I accidentally bumped into it. I was really careless!”
Feng Guiqin looked at him, “What’s your name?”
“I…am Yang Yang.” Yang Yang said with a despondent face.
Feng Guiqin nodded, “Follow me.”
Yang Yang knew that the leader was going to criticize him. It wasn’t likely that he would be fired, but a deduction of his bonus or wages was guaranteed. He was depressed. This was such a mishap, but complaints being complaints, Yang Yang knew that he was in fact very lucky today. When the lighting rack fell over and made that thunderous noise, it was already a broadcasting incident. If it were any other host, they would probably not have been able to handle it. So it was really lucky that Zhang Ye was the host. Not only did he smoothen over the incident, he even turned it into a joke segment. His wits stunned everyone. If not for Zhang Ye’s quick reaction, Yang Yang knew that he would definitely lose his job today!
A few people had already left.
Wang Xiong stayed behind for a moment and looked towards Zhang Ye, who was taking a break. He smiled. “Teacher Little Zhang, well done. I have nothing else to say about today’s episode.” Saying that, he reached out his hand and gave him a big thumbs up. Zhang Ye was about to stand up, but Wang Xiong waved him back down, “You rest, I’ll be on my way. You should go home early and have a good rest. There’s still an episode to record tomorrow, but it won’t be a live broadcast. Let’s do the recording tomorrow afternoon.
Zhang Ye obeyed the
