The next day.
Saturday.
The news headlines were all occupied by Zhang Ye.
"Crosstalk tour blows up!"
"Zhang Ye breaks many records!"
"Park Jaesang\'s concert meets its Waterloo!"
"Plans for Park Jaesang\'s seven concerts within two years go up in smoke!"
"Zhang Ye gets the last laugh!"
"The Shanghai crosstalk stop will begin tonight!"
In the morning, Park Jaesang led his team to board the plane and returned home gloomily. Everyone knew that the results, the talk, and the scolding they were getting now made it very difficult for them to return to the Chinese market in the short term. This time, their team that had arrived confidently in high spirits had been sent packing by a ruthless slap from Zhang Ye!
Kimura Kazuya and his team were now preparing to face this great enemy!
Kim Jichan and his team called for an emergency meeting!
"Park Jaesang has lost so badly!"
"It\'s our turn to go up against him next!"
"How are we going to deal with it tonight?"
"Hurry up and discuss the countermeasures! We can\'t just sit still and wait for death!"
"Old Park\'s concert was actually pretty good, but it still got criticized to such an extent. I really can\'t believe it. It\'s all that Zhang guy\'s fault for causing so much trouble!"
"We have to fight back. Right now, the issue that we\'re getting criticized most about is the high ticket prices. Everyone thinks that the performance will not be worth the price, so I have a suggestion."
"What suggestion?"
"Let\'s extend the duration of the concert!"
"But the duration has already been submitted to—"
"We\'ll just get fined at most. Didn\'t Zhang Ye also exceed the time limit set for his show? If he can do it, we can do it too. We can\'t change the ticket prices anymore, but if Teacher Kim Jichan works harder and put in a little more effort to sing a few more songs, that will make up for it. That way, the audience will find it easier to accept the prices. We will not end up as passive and having to react to the situation as Park Jaesang did. I don\'t believe we can\'t get the praise we deserve that way! We mustn\'t make the same mistakes that Park Jaesang made! Didn\'t the audience find his concert\'s duration too short? Then we\'ll just have to put on a show for as long as we can!"
"Good idea!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
"Alright, that\'s settled then!"
Kim Jichan\'s team had decided on their emergency response!
They absolutely couldn\'t afford to screw up their concert in China. As an Asian superstar, no one could afford to lose the biggest market in Asia, China!
…
That same night.
Shanghai.
Zhang Ye\'s second show was starting!
The explosive scene at the venue could no longer be described with words!
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Zhang Ye!"
"I love you!"
"You\'re the best!"
In the livestreaming channel.
The number of viewers kept rising!
10 million!
30 million!
50 million!
60 million!
Even more viewers were online today than yesterday\'s show at the Beijing Exhibition Center!
This was exactly what word of mouth could achieve. Zhang Ye\'s crosstalk yesterday had truly made a lot of people laugh like mad, and a lot of people had gone to watch the recorded broadcast later on at the recommendation of their family and friends. After watching it, many of them were standing by to catch today\'s livestream with great anticipation.
This was truly like a grand affair taking place in the crosstalk world!
It was a celebration of the people!
And Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai did not disappoint either. The moment they appeared, they ignited everyone\'s laughter with just a few words!
"Hahahaha!"
"This is so damn funny!"
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"
"I am really convinced by that mouth of Zhang Ye\'s!"
"This is what a true crosstalk master should be like!"
"And he didn\'t even repeat jokes!"
"Yeah, I also thought they\'d be reusing some of the jokes from yesterday or before that."
"Every single joke is a new one. This is so satisfying!"
"I won\'t get sick of watching Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai\'s crosstalk even if I watch it for three days and three nights straight!"
One act.
Three acts.
Five acts.
Finally, it was 9 PM.
At the venue.
On the stage.
Zhang Ye watched the shouting crowd and gently rubbed his temple. He said with a headache, "It\'s already 9 o\'clock, why aren\'t you people leaving yet? How are we supposed to deal with this?"
The audience.
"Hahahaha!"
"We\'re staying put!"
"Right, we\'ll be staying over tonight!"
"We\'ll all live here tonight!"
Zhang Ye said, "Are you guys really not gonna leave? Well, alright, I\'ll take my leave then."
Yao Jiancai tugged at him. "Hey, hey, hey, how would it make you look if you leave now."
The audience cramped up with laughter again!
Zhang Ye said, "Actually, the time on the ticket indicates that the show ends at 9 PM, so any time we run over by is all given to you all free of charge by me. Teacher Yao and I don\'t have anything else but stamina. Since you all like listening to us, then alright, we\'ll carry on talking for a little more!"
The audience was shouting madly!
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Tell us a few more jokes!"
Zhang Ye laughed. "You people really just want to watch the world burn. The authorities won\'t be looking for you, but they\'ll come to trouble me. Eh, guess I\'m just going to have to get fined again then."
Yao Jiancai laughed and said, "Are you even afraid of that?"
Zhang Ye said, "Hey, hey, don\'t talk nonsense."
Yao Jiancai laughed. "Hahahaha."
The audience also burst out laughing!
Get fined?
Trouble you?
Your wife is the SARFT\'s leader!
Who would dare cause trouble for you!
Then, Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai began giving encore after encore again!
One time!
Five times!
Ten times!
The audience went into a wave after wave of uproar!
The entire venue was filled with laughter!
…
10:30 PM.
On the other side of Shanghai, Kim Jichan\'s concert came to an end.
Once backstage, Kim Jichan nearly collapsed on the spot. He was panting hard and his throat had gone all hoarse. He only managed to utter one word after trying to speak for a long time. "—Water."
The assistants rushed over to serve him.
Everyone on the team was extremely excited.
"Teacher Kim, you sang very well today!"
"You\'ve worked hard! You did a great job!"
"The praise for our concert will definitely blow up!"
"That\'s right, you sang for over an hour past the indicated show time!"
"Hahahaha, didn\'t Zhang Ye also perform until 10:30 PM? We managed to do it til 10:30 PM too! Who\'s afraid of who! It\'s just a matter of competing on who has more stamina!"
"Right, it\'s not like he\'s the only one who can do it!"
"Yeah, we can do it too!"
But not long after, every one of Kim Jichan\'s team was dumbfounded when they found out about the situation at Zhang Ye\'s crosstalk in Shanghai!
At 10:30 PM, Zhang Ye\'s show was still not finished!
At 11 PM, Zhang Ye\'s show continued!
Only at 11:30 PM did the curtains draw on Zhang Ye\'s show!
Four and a half hours!
It went on for a full four and a half hours!
They returned to give 25 encores!
And broke the records yet again!
Voices of scolding instantly swept over.
"What the fuck!"
"Kim Jichan, get the fuck out of here!"
"You only performed for three and a half hours? But your tickets were so expensive?"
"Just have a look at how Zhang Ye did it!"
"You\'re dead once the comparisons are made! Dead, I tell you!"
"There\'s really nothing to complain about the way Teacher Zhang treats his audience!"
"25 encores! Let me ask around, who else can do that!"
"This is how the audience should be treated!"
"Strongly supporting Teacher Zhang!"
"Throw the foreign celebrities looking to make a quick buck out of China!"
"To sell tickets at such high prices, they\'re simply shameless!"
…
At this moment.
Kim Jichan was in tears!
His team was in tears!
"Zhang!"
"Your sister!"
"Fuck your grandma!"
"You must be fucking doing this on purpose!"
"I\'ve never met anyone as vicious as you before!"
Kim Jichan had also lost!
It was a complete defeat!
It was a brutal crushing!
