Chapter 135 - Quick-Witted
Looking at the question mark Zhang Fanzhi sent over, Chen Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You already sent the voice ssage, and I just started listening to it, yet you still recalled it?
"You sang really beautifully just now, why did you recall it?" Chen Ran asked.
"My hand slipped, I sent it by mistake," Zhang Fanzhi replied very quickly.
Your hand slipped and it still managed to be sent to ?
Chen Ran was completely amused and asked, "Can your hand slip one more ti? I hadn't finished listening just now!"
Zhang Fanzhi replied relatively slowly this ti: "I already said my hand slipped."
"If it happens once, it can happen twice."
"No." Zhang Fanzhi was very resolute.
Chen Ran felt slightly regretful. It seed he wouldn't be able to hear Zhang Fanzhi's voice ssage anymore. With her temper, wanting her to send it again was practically impossible.
He didn't dwell on this, but asked curiously, "Are you practicing singing right now?"
He had heard the sound of a piano just now.
"Mm, practicing a bit first, getting ready to record," Zhang Fanzhi replied.
"This fast?"
"The company is taking it relatively seriously."
They were indeed taking it relatively seriously; this ti they barely let Zhang Fanzhi and Tao Lin worry about anything.
She and Tao Lin just shot comrcials and ran around for endorsents; the preparation for the song was completely handled by the company.
Compared to last ti, the treatnt was simply a difference between heaven and earth.
"How is your program doing?" Zhang Fanzhi asked.
She knew the results of the first episode of the 'Zhou Zhou Show' weren't good; Director Zhang had told her.
However, Zhang Fanzhi obviously didn't know how to comfort people. She had made ti to call over, but only listened to Chen Ran speak.
Chen Ran smiled and replied, "Not bad. The program unexpectedly went viral on Weibo, and the viewership ratings have improved a lot. If there are no accidents, it should succeed."
After a while, Zhang Fanzhi replied with a ssage: "Congratulations."
Before Chen Ran could send a ssage, he saw Zhang Fanzhi follow up with another one:
"If there are no accidents, after the new song is recorded, I will make a trip back to Lin City."
Chen Ran's eyes brightened slightly, and he asked, "Are you preparing to go on 'Star Detective'?"
To promote a new song, she definitely had to run around everywhere.
When promoting 'Initial Dream', only Tao Lin was running around, and she only went on small programs.
But this ti was different. With Starry Sky's support, the programs she could get on were all not bad.
This was the program with the highest viewership ratings on Zhaonan Satellite TV recently. For Zhang Fanzhi to promote her new song, she didn't need to go to the small programs like last ti; it would only be this program.
Zhang Fanzhi replied with an 'Mm' character again.
Chen Ran instantly started laughing. Don't just look at Zhang Fanzhi replying with a single character; in her heart, she was definitely thinking of him too. Having known each other for so long, Chen Ran understood her more and more.
It was a pity he couldn't call right now. He guessed Tao Lin was also there; otherwise, with Zhang Fanzhi's character, how would she be sending WeChat ssages with him this sluggishly?
The two chatted for a while longer. Zhang Fanzhi said she had to practice singing, and only then did Chen Ran put down his phone.
Thinking of the voice ssage Zhang Fanzhi had sent over just now, Chen Ran was slightly regretful. For a voice ssage of over thirty seconds, he still hadn't finished listening to more than half of it.
……
Huahai.
Zhang Fanzhi looked at her phone and slightly pursed her lips.
With the thump, thump, thump sound of footsteps, Tao Lin walked over.
Zhang Fanzhi flipped through the news as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that she was still sitting in front of the piano, Tao Lin said:
"It's too late, don't practice for now. You didn't sleep well last night either, so rest earlier today. I don't know what got into you, wanting to watch TV in the middle of the night last night. I'm almost having a nervous breakdown right now!"
As Tao Lin spoke, she even let out a yawn.
Yesterday there weren't any activities, and she was originally going to rest quite early. Who knew that while sleeping groggily, she would be woken up by the TV.
Zhang Fanzhi didn't know what nerve had snapped; there were exactly three TVs in the apartnt, and she turned them all on, making it so noisy that Tao Lin couldn't sleep.
Getting up to ask about it, the response was that there were few people in the apartnt, so having the TVs on made it a bit livelier.
To this, Tao Lin could only scoff. Since when did you, Zhang Xiyun, like liveliness?
Moreover, that program just had a middle-aged man chattering away inside with an indignant expression. Was it really that good to watch?
"You go to sleep first, I'll practice a bit more," Zhang Fanzhi said with a calm expression, completely ignoring Tao Lin's complaints.
Tao Lin rolled her eyes at her.
"Then you practice first, I'll put on a face mask."
Zhang Fanzhi gave a sound of acknowledgnt.
After waiting for Tao Lin to leave, she glanced at her phone, hesitated slightly, and finally, holding the phone with one hand and casually playing the piano with the other, she sang a short segnt and sent it over.
But she clicked it open to listen for a bit, and then hurriedly recalled it.
Subsequently, she saw the ssage Chen Ran sent over: "Hand slipped again?"
Zhang Fanzhi took a glance, pressed down hard on her phone, and didn't even reply to the ssage.
……
The next morning, Chen Ran got up slightly later. He only woke up when the alarm clock rang.
He took out his phone and opened his favorites inside. The very first item was a voice ssage of over thirty seconds, and after clicking it open, it was Zhang Fanzhi's singing voice.
Last night, when Zhang Fanzhi sent the ssage over and Chen Ran saw it was a voice ssage, he didn't listen to it imdiately, but instead imdiately long-pressed to favorite it.
Sure enough, just after he favorited it, Zhang Fanzhi imdiately recalled it.
Chen Ran couldn't help but give a 'like' to his own quick-wittedness.
After finishing washing up, he went downstairs to run a few laps as per his usual routine.
It had to be said that this morning jogging thing still required a bit of perseverance. Running was very comfortable for the first two days, but after a long ti, inertia sets in.
It was also fortunate that Chen Ran persevered since he had nothing to do in the morning; if he was delayed by even a little sothing, he wouldn't want to co.
However, the changes were still quite obvious. Previously, running these few laps would imdiately leave him panting for breath, but now it wasn't so severe; he had basically adapted to it.
Arriving at the TV station, he ran into Zhou Zhou at the entrance. This middle-aged host whose career had found a new lease on life acted very enthusiastically upon seeing Chen Ran.
Knowing from Director Wu Tao that it was Chen Ran who had selected him, Zhou Zhou had always been quite grateful to Chen Ran.
Now that the program's trend had turned for the better and his fans on Weibo had increased, what Chen Ran did for him was no different from the grace of recognizing his talent.
Although there was so age gap between the two, it didn't hinder his enthusiasm towards Chen Ran. Usually, when speaking to Chen Ran, he would call him 'Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen'.
"Teacher Zhou, you don't need to be so polite. We are all colleagues; you acting like this actually makes embarrassed," Chen Ran smiled wryly.
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "With Teacher Chen's resu, doing this is already considered very impolite."
He had asked around about Chen Ran. Setting aside other things, just their tropolitan Channel's 'True Feelings' was enough to surprise him. With Chen Ran's current achievents, he felt that being even more polite wouldn't be excessive.
Chen Ran was sowhat helpless, respectfully declining this title in his heart, but since the other party respected him, he couldn't exactly tell him not to call him that. If people really questioned him closely about it, he wouldn't know how to explain it either.
He couldn't exactly drag out the matters of his past life and recount them, right?
In his past life, it was a , but over here it was perfectly normal.
Returning to the program crew, another day's work began.
Having tasted the sweetness of Weibo, Director Wu Tao knew the program needed a foothold on Weibo, so he specifically found soone to operate the program's official Weibo account.
Although the second episode wasn't as hot as the first episode, there was still quite a lot of discussion. The Weibo account had attracted many fans, and now, just posting a preview for the third episode drew quite a few fans to discuss it.
The topic of dicine prices had passed, and the heat had also dropped a bit, but those who stayed behind to discuss were all audience mbers of their 'Zhou Zhou Show'.
As the recording of the new episode began, everyone had much more drive than last week.
They were all anticipating the performance of this episode's program.
Everyone had been severely beaten by reality during the premiere, so now their mindsets had all settled down a bit.
They didn't ask for it to be very high; as long as the viewership ratings could hold steady, it would be fine.
