Picking up his phone, Zhang Ye couldn’t help but look through his fan club’s Tieba. He saw several congratulatory messages from Big Saber Bro and a few other of his hardcore fans. Zhang Ye replied to them and then remembered something else, so he went over to take a look at the Celebrity Rankings of this world.
It was as follows:
Zhang Ye: D-List Celebrity.
D-List Celebrity Ranking: 59.
This time, he had managed to raise his ranking by several dozen spots. Thinking back to when there was no Talk Show, Zhang Ye had just been promoted to the D-List Rankings and hovered around the last spot, but as of today, after a few episodes of “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” and two public lectures on ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, his ranking had already increased by quite a bit. Then checking on Peking University’s official website, he saw that the first lecture had already garnered 19 million views and the second lecture was already at 11 million views after being posted this afternoon. Good God! This was even more popular than his Talk Show performance, but it wasn’t all that surprising since his Talk Show’s target audience was the younger crowd, whereas his lectures about ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ could be enjoyed and watched by viewers of all age groups. As one of the Four Great Classical Novels, the attention it had was naturally also higher. Now that Zhang Ye’s ranking hovered around the middle of the D-List Celebrity Rankings, when his public lectures were completed, and with the broadcast of his already completed Talk Show, Zhang Ye felt that he might even get into the C-List rankings. Although it got harder as he went higher, it was not impossible.
