I am Really a Superstar

At the studio.

The viewership ratings for each country was compiled and sent over.

“Another one has been made known!”

“The ratings for Australia are out!”

“What place did we get?”

“We’re in 9th place!”

“The viewership ratings for the Netherlands are out too.”

“How did we rank in the Netherlands?”

“We’re in 6th place!”

“Heavens!”

The rankings were not limited to entertainment programs alone, but also included all other programs like variety shows, television series, and even documentaries that broadcast on the same day in each country. Therefore, the importance of the viewership rankings for the various countries was obvious.

There were screams of astonishment everywhere in the studio!

Nobody could believe their eyes and ears!

Ha Qiqi looked at the datasheet and said in shock, “We’re ranked within the top ten in almost every country? Even in India, we’re in 9th place? How can it possibly be that high? This makes no sense at all! This is only the first episode! How can the premiere episode achieve such high viewership ratings? It would be understandable if this was just the domestic viewership ratings since we already have a certain level of influence back home. But what’s with this situation overseas? They’re giving so much face to us? Since when did we also become so influential abroad?”

Zhang Zuo was stunned. “It’s like the show is on fucking steroids or something!”

Little Wang was roaring with laughter. “How awesome! It’s awesome!”

Tong Fu said pleasantly surprised, “Director Zhang, you’re simply godly!”

Zhang Ye also laughed. “I guess it wasn’t too bad.”

Wu Yi slapped his thigh and said loudly, “We were initially hoping that the show would make it beyond our country’s shores. But damn, with the results we’ve gotten, it’s no longer going to be as simple as that. This has totally exceeded all our expectations! Even a rocket couldn’t have propelled it out China’s doors so quickly! This sort of result can be hailed as one of the top few achievements in the global television show industry!”

Sun Kuang was also here today. Right now, he was also somewhat stunned by the developments.

The publicity.

The show’s quality.

The show’s innovation.

Zhang Ye’s fame.

All of these factors had blown the doors off!

All of the preparation and effort they had put in was repaid to them through the viewership ratings!

…

At Central TV.

Screams rang out through the International Channel.

“Look at this!”

“Ahhhh!”

“The viewership ratings have blown up!”

“The show has made it into the top ten all around the world!”

“Heavens! Is this really happening?”

“Can someone pinch me? I’m not dreaming, am I? W-We actually got to witness a day like this?”

“It has broken all the records! All of the statistics for Man vs. Wild have broken the records for a Chinese TV show! It has broken the domestic records! And also broken the overseas records!”

“I knew we were right to bring Director Zhang aboard to do the show!”

…

In the Chinese entertainment industry.

“What the hell!”

“He really did it!”

“Yeah, this fellow really managed it!”

“He’s really brought a Chinese TV show to the international stage!”

“How impressive!”

“This battle was well fought. I’m so proud!”

…

On Weibo.

“Invincible!”

“Face-smacking Zhang is truly invincible!”

“First, he did it with a movie. Then he did it again with a TV show! 666!”

“Face-smacking Zhang has gained another achievement to his name!”

“Hahahaha, beautifully done!”

“The entire world has probably been dumbfounded by what happened!”

“Zhang Ye has made history again!”

…

On the Web.

“It has such a high viewership rating?”

“It placed 6th on the American viewership ranking?”

“How did they come up with that number?”

“It actually exceeded the viewership ratings of so many other American TV series?”

“Two talk shows have been swept aside by him as well!”

“The results are a little shocking. But I have to say, this show is indeed quite enjoyable to watch!”

“Is that Chinese man unstoppable?”

…

The media outlets of the various countries.

“A Chinese TV show shakes up the industry!”

“Man vs. Wild ignites a heated global discussion!”

“Yet another counterattack by Zhang Ye?”

“A new, global rising star!”

“Man vs. Wild innovates a new genre for TV shows!”

“Rave reviews received in many countries!”

A media outlet reported the following:

—According to an analysis by a panel of international experts, the popularity of Man vs. Wild was quite expected. This is a completely new genre that matches very well with the discipline of television shows, and includes adventure, knowledge, and food, making it very easy for the audience to relate to the host’s perspective as they go with him on an adventure. They might even experience the same sense of danger that the host is experiencing. This show has opened up new grounds for future shows and has to be praised. The father of talk shows is worthy of his reputation.

…

There was a sense of exhilaration in China!

The world was in an uproar!

Man vs. Wild became very popular just like this!

The heaven-defying results that the premiere episode had achieved was an occurrence that was considered extremely rare in the global television show industry.

On the same day.

The International Celebrity Rankings Index was refreshed.

On it, it could be seen that Zhang Ye’s popularity had blown up once again.

On the index, he had climbed five places up on the International C-list Rankings in one shot. This rate of increase was shocking for many of the international A- and B-listers. As such, more and more international stars and people from various countries started taking note of Zhang Ye. In the past, when Zhang Ye first made it into the international celebrity rankings, many of the international celebrities did not pay much attention to him. But at this moment, no one could ignore him anymore. This was only the first episode, so who knew how much more popular Zhang Ye would get when a complete season of Man vs. Wild had been broadcast?

…

The next day. In the morning.

At Zhang Ye’s Studio.

Right now, attention from all over the world was focused on them. Countless eyes were watching and waiting to see how their show would turn out.

Zhang Ye’s luggage was already packed. “We’re going to shoot the second episode today, followed by the third episode after that. I seem to remember that many of you had wanted to quit the show previously? So how about now? We’ll be setting off very soon, so there’s still time to think about it. Once we get to the wild, you can’t come back even if you want to.”

Tong Fu was the first to call out, “Why would we want to come back? Let’s do it!”

Wu Yi said, “Who says we’re quitting the show? Let’s do it!”

Zhang Zuo said, “I want to join in this time as well!”

Zhang Ye looked around. “Where’s Old Sun at?”

The door opened. Sun Kuang had arrived late. “I’m here, I’m here.”

Zhang Ye laughed and said, “I thought you had run away.”

Sun Kuang rolled his eyes. “With viewership like this, I’ll have to take part in the filming even if I don’t want to. So what if it’s a little dangerous, I’ll just have to be more careful. If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life.” Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Sun Kuang couldn’t help but chuckle. “This might be the one and only time that China has a TV show that can be proudly shown to the world. I may not be brave, but I’m not dumb either. Let’s just go ahead and do what needs to be done, I’ll be going all out this time!”

Zhang Ye laughed and said, “The first episode’s viewership ratings don’t mean much. Whether or not a show gets popular depends on the long-term development. A good start is a good thing, of course, and that tells us that we’re already halfway to success. The other half will be decided by the rest of the show. Let’s put in more effort and aim to bring the viewership ratings to the next level!”

Little Wang said, “Ah? It can still go higher?”

Zhang Ye nodded and said, “Let’s give it a try.”

Tong Fu was exuberant. “That’s right, we never aim for second place!”

Wu Yi laughed heartily. “Yeah, if we have to aim for something, it would be for the top of the world!”

Zhang Ye raised his arm and waved, saying, “Let’s go, bros! It’s time to set off!”

The first episode had been filmed in a rather conservative manner.

But starting from the second episode, Zhang Ye felt that it was time to go wild!
