I'm Really a Superstar Chapter 1167: The Crowd Goes Ballistic!

The next day.

It was the first day of the Olympic Games.

The staff of Zhang Ye's Studio were in a celebratory mood the moment they arrived at work. The studio was established with the core mission and aim of pus.h.i.+ng Zhang Ye to a further and higher place in the industry. Everything was centered around Zhang Ye's popularity and image, which was why when Zhang Ye had been selected to sing the Olympic opening theme song after the studio had just been operating for a few days, and with his performance with Lillian being very successful, it helped him leave a good impression on the world's audience and get all around praise from many people. With that, his popularity in China, as well as Asia, soared. This made the studio staff extremely excited and full of hope for the future.

The business operations were also starting to get busy.

The phone lines in the studio were ringing nonstop. Some of the calls were from television stations or reporters seeking interviews, and some were invitations to collaborate on all kinds of projects.

A little after 9 in the morning.

Zhang Ye arrived at work.

Ha Qiqi and the others immediately gave him a status report. The tabulated data and information were given to Zhang Ye with very detailed statistics. This was the advantage of having a team. "Director Zhang, your Weibo followers increased by a million overnight. 'You and Me' was really successful. The live performance music video has already reached number one on the Top Chinese Music Chart, and the second placed song, 'Beijing Welcomes You,' is also your song!"

Little w.a.n.g exclaimed, "Mighty, Mighty Director Zhang!"

Wu Yi laughed and said, "Your ranking also went up in the Asian popularity charts!"

Zhang Zuo said, "Yes, a lot of the foreign media has mentioned Director Zhang's name in their reports as well. This is quite a historic breakthrough for us, even though it's unlikely that the foreigners will become your fan with just one song. But at least it's good that you've shown yourself on the world stage for a start."

Zhang Ye had a look at the statistics and said with a laugh, "Great work, everyone."

Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Your reputation now is great. All the news reports about you at the moment are fairly positive, so I suggest that we build up your reputation during this period. We have to strike while the iron is hot in order to turn around that past negative image of yours. That will help the media and public change their impression of you."

Zhang Ye blinked. "Why do that?"

Zhang Zuo replied, "We a.n.a.lyzed earlier during a meeting that your next target would definitely be to reach the S-list rankings. Only by getting into the highest rankings domestically and becoming a Heavenly King can you continue progressing further in the Asian and international scene. Therefore, our target for you is to first get to the top within China. According to past information, all of those who manage to get into the S-list and become Heavenly Kings and Queens have one thing in common. That is, their reputation and public image are all fantastic without an exception! For example, Zhang Yuanqi and the other Heavenly Kings and Queens. It applies to all of them. That was why we concluded that the prerequisite to reaching the S-list rankings was that, and exactly what you're lacking in and also where you're unable to compare to against the Heavenly Kings and Queens. We can work hard toward that target from now on, although it's unlikely that you'll reach that level anytime soon. But at least we can see whether you can go further with a better reputation and image."

Having a team was just different.

Zhang Ye nodded in agreement. "OK, that makes a lot of sense."

Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Then let's head in this direction with our PR campaigns? If there are any charity or public service events to attend, you'll have to accommodate them for us."

"Sure, just decide as you will." Zhang Ye did not have any objections.

After confirming his direction for the short term, everyone started getting to work.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ye made his rounds in the office before subsequently looking at his watch and leaving to drive off.

His image? Alright then, he would have to watch his public image a little more carefully during this period of time then!

On the live broadcast of the Olympics.

There was global coverage worldwide.

The first day of events had already begun.

The Chinese netizens were getting extremely excited. Everyone was looking forward to Team China's performance at the Beijing Olympics.

During every previous Olympics, Central TV Sports Channel's viewers.h.i.+p rating would outdo all the other programs by a large margin. During this period of time, everyone would only pay attention and have eyes for the Olympic Games. Further, it was even held in Beijing this year in their own backyard. As the hosts, everyone's enthusiasm was even greater than it had ever been. There were people who were camping at their televisions, and some who took time off from work to attend the events!

On Weibo.

"Looking forward to the first gold medal!"

"Who will get the first gold?"

"Come on, athletes!"

"There are so many events with a gold medal up for grabs today!"

"Haha, the fencing event has already started!"

"The qualification round for shooting has started as well!"

"I predict that we'll get at least two gold medals on the first day!"

"There's a chance of getting three gold medals too. There are a lot of events that we're good at on this first day!"

The media was also busy doing a gold medal a.n.a.lysis for China!

Shooting?

Fencing?

Or would it be some of the other events?

A lot of those in the media had prepared their reports beforehand. All they were waiting for was for Team China to score their first gold medal on this first day of the events before publis.h.i.+ng their news reports!

At the live coverage studio of the Olympics.

The shooting event was taking place.

Commentator Zhao Zhi said, "Dear viewers and friends, we're about to begin with the Women's 10-meter Air Rifle event 1 . China's athletes, Qi Xue and Li Chen, placed first and third respectively in the earlier qualification round to qualify for the finals. In the next round of this compet.i.tion, the first Beijing Olympic gold medalist will be crowned. Can the Qi-Li duo take the first Olympic gold for Team China? Let's wait and see!"

A former Olympic champion, Zhang Chuxia, was also present in the live coverage studio.

Zhao Zhi said, "The compet.i.tion is starting!"

Zhang Chuxia shouted, "It's the first shot, come on!"

"Good one! Qi Xue has shot a 10.2 2 ! Oh, Li Chen has made a mistake on her first shot. She has only scored 9.2 points for her effort. But that's fine, there's still a chance!"

The second shot.

The fifth shot.

The eighth shot.

After several more shots, the results were wilder than anyone's expectations!

Li Chen was performing very badly today and was no longer in the running for a medal. Meanwhile, Qi Xue had fallen to third place after committing a very serious mistake on one of her shots. She was now 2.1 points away from the first place!

Zhao Zhi said, "Things aren't looking too good!"

Zhang Chuxia said, "Let's see how the last few shots go. The team has been too nervous!"

"You can do it, Qi Xue! All the way!"

Whoos.h.!.+

After the shot was taken, everyone gasped loudly!

It was over!

The gold medal was no longer possible!

In the end, Qi Xue could only manage a bronze!

Zhao Zhi said, "What a pity!"

Zhang Chuxia sighed, "Hai, the pressure was too stressful."

Watching TV, the home viewers were also crying out in pity!

In the next few hours.
