Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The world still did not know Zhang Ye well enough.
At least, they did not know him as well as they thought they did.
To them, Zhang Ye was a Nobel Prize winner, an author, and a movie director. They might also know that he was the current number one hacker in the world. But other than that, they didn’t really have a deeper understanding of him. After all, Zhang Ye’s status in the international scene still hadn’t reached the stage where the entire world was obsessed with his every move. As such, when they heard that Zhang Ye was actually thinking of moving into the field of television, the people of the various countries all found it laughable. They thought that Zhang Ye was a total amateur and layman. But on this day, after getting slapped in the face by the Chinese netizens, countless foreigners shockingly discovered many facts that they didn’t know.
He was the one who invented the talk show!
Their countries’ television stations had actually been paying copyright fees to Zhang Ye all this while!
Not only that, Zhang Ye also did many other things as well!
Documentaries.
Educational programs.
Variety shows.
Television series.
Television actor.
Program planning.
Skit actor.
Crosstalk comedian.
Host.
Television guest and coach.
Even the world’s largest program, the Spring Festival Gala, had been directed by him as well!
As long as there was anything related to television, and as long as it could be shown on television, Zhang Ye had done them all! If they had to find the most professional and most legendary television personality in China, if they had to find the number one person in the television industry, then that person would definitely be Zhang Ye. There would be no other choice!
At this moment, the entire world finally found out that Zhang Ye was the most professional television personality in China. So he didn’t start off by writing novels, nor did he come through by making movies. Instead, he had majored in broadcasting in university. That was the field that he was most proficient at!
The number one television personality in China!
It would be his first time creating an international television show!
Could a miracle be about to happen again?
At this moment, no one knew. They would have to wait until the show was broadcast!
…
In the morning.
Back at home.
Zhang Ye’s parents came to pick up his daughter.
Zhang Ye said with an embarrassed smile, “Dad, Mom, I’ll have to trouble you two again for a while. This bro will be getting busy again and won’t have time for other things.”
His father said, “It’s fine.”
His mother gave him a stare and said, “What’s fine? You’ve only rested for how long after shooting the movie? Besides, why did you go back to making TV shows? How many years has it been since you’ve made a TV show?”
Zhang Ye laughed and said, “That’s why I’m doing it again.”
His father asked, “Everyone’s discussing it on the Internet. So what kind of show is it?”
Zhang Ye laughed. “I’ll be keeping it a secret for now.”
His mother said, “Is it an international show?”
“That’s right.” Zhang Ye nodded.
His mother said suspiciously, “Are you sure you can do it? You better not fool around and come up with something lousy.”
Zhang Ye laughed. “If I can’t do it, then no one else can.”
His mother said, “When are you going to start filming it?”
Zhang Ye said, “Once Central TV has finished their arrangements. It should be soon.”
The equipment.
The personnel.
Travel visas.
Funding.
There was a lot of preparation work to handle.
Zhang Ye had only needed to set up the film crew, and he was already pretty much done. The rest of the work that would be handled by Central TV International were tasks like chartering a plane, renting boats, coordinating for the entry of the crew to various countries, and so on. Zhang Ye couldn’t handle all that, so he had to leave it to them. Zhang Ye had his own matters to deal with. During the preparation period, he urgently needed to fix any flaws with the show.
The selling point of the show was not as simple as just having a few skills to survive in the wilderness. The relevant knowledge, the ways to survive, the methods to make camp, what could be eaten, what could not be eaten, how to build a boat, how to escape danger, etc., all of these were skills that Zhang Ye did not possess. If he were to shoot the show in his current state, it would definitely not work. Therefore, there was still a lot of preparation work that he needed to do. He had to transform from a layman who knew nothing into an all-around survival specialist with knowledge of everything!
And so, his wife was currently helping him shop for books online.
Old Wu asked, “The Wilderness Camping Manual, is this fine?”
Zhang Ye replied, “Yeah, buy it.”
“Ten Ways to Identify Time in the Outdoors?”
“Buy it.”
“A Detailed Description of Animal Species?”
“Buy it.”
“Fire Starting with the Hand Drill Method?”
“Buy them all.”
His mother was dumbfounded. “Rascal, are you thinking of setting up a library?”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “That’s not even a lot of books.”
His father said, “Will you be able to read them all?”
“Of course,” Zhang Ye said.
During the day.
The books were delivered.
100 books.
200 books.
300 books.
The entire living room was almost filled to the brim with books.
Some of the books covered outdoor experiences, some covered scientific knowledge, and some were introductions to flora and fauna. There were Chinese books and English ones as well. These books covered nearly all of the knowledge on how to survive in the wilderness around the world. There were even medical books that taught about how to give treatment for external injuries. For others, wanting to gain experience in a short period of time from books was not too practical a method. But doing this was not difficult for Zhang Ye. This was because he could use the game ring’s Memory Search Capsule to quickly assimilate this knowledge into his mind, which would then become a part of him. As long as it was written in the books, as long as the information was available online, he could learn them all.
If a 100 books weren’t enough, he would read a 1,000 books.
If a 1,000 books weren’t enough, he would read 2,000.
In just a short duration, Zhang Ye had speedily absorbed the knowledge and gained experience. He learned so much that he even believed that no other survival specialist in the world knew more knowledge than him. And neither would any specialists from his previous world. In his previous world, on many of such survival shows, most of the survival specialists only looked like they knew a lot. In actual fact, they had a professional team supporting them from behind. There were botanists, zoologists, and medical experts too. It was those people who supported and channeled their knowledge through the host from behind the cameras.
But Zhang Ye didn’t need such a team. He could do it all by himself.
Of course, the things that involved mobility and operational skills were too difficult to learn by just reading about them in books. After all, without actual practice, there would be no accumulation of experience. This was different from looking at a plant and being able to name it. Hence, Zhang Ye opened up the game ring with the idea of getting some items from it.
The virtual screen popped up. His total Reputation Points was at a terrifying figure. He had not used it in such a long time, and he had accumulated a lot of Reputation Points. Naturally, Zhang Ye did not feel the pinch anymore. This was something that would directly affect his new show, which was a very important step in his plans to go international. As such, he definitely could not be stingy. He activated the Lucky Halo (Ultra) and picked Lottery Draw (Three). It was finally time to try his luck, so Zhang Ye held his breath in anticipation.
He opened the golden Treasure Chests (Large) one by one.
[Skydiving Skill] × 56
[Knife Skills] × 100
[Fruit of Agility] × 33
[Diving Skill] × 128
[Surgical Technique] × 66
And so on.
There was an assortment of items.
In the space of a night, Zhang Ye had turned into a wilderness survival specialist like he was on steroids. He couldn’t be more awesome than this!
