The final result was Zhang Ye recording five episodes in one shot. Including the additional two episodes he did yesterday, he now had a large enough “stockpile” for them to broadcast for a full week. This was also because Zhang Ye was getting more and more used to the performance style required for Talk Shows. Hence, his condition was getting better and better. It was not as mentally sapping anymore. If it were anything like the first and second episode, he would definitely faint on-stage after recording five episodes. Today, he was not as exhausted. When the members of the program team saw Teacher Zhang in great condition, they were completely reassured.
In the dressing room.
Zhang Ye changed back into his work clothes and removed his makeup. He then switched on his cellphone and within a few minutes, a phone call came in.
The number indicated—Director Jiang.
The Executive Director of “The Great Pugilistic World”?
Zhang Ye picked it up, “Hello, Director Jiang, how are you?”
Director Jiang smiled, “Little Zhang, why did you switch off your phone?”
“Hai, I was recording programs all morning and have just concluded for the day,” Zhang Ye said, “Is there something you need?”
Director Jiang said, “Tonight is the premiere of ‘The Great Pugilistic World’. It will be held in Shanghai. If you have time, join us. After it, there will even be a celebratory feast. This time it will be the official celebratory feast.”
Zhang Ye did not hesitate, “Sure, I’ll definitely be there.”
Previously, if the filming crew needed to inform him of such matters or to aid in their promotions, it would be the Assistant Director contacting him. However, this time, Director Jiang personally made the call. Zhang Ye also understood that his popularity had increased, and that his status in the industry had naturally increased. The current him was no longer a minor side character who needed to use connections to be pulled into a film crew as a background character. The current Zhang Ye…eh…no longer needed to use connections to be pulled into a film crew as a side character! His societal status had clearly improved!

Zhang Ye happened to bump into Dong Shanshan who was also there to eat.
