“It has ended!”


“The season has ended!”


“It was such a great show!”


“Yeah, I’ve never watched such an exciting show before!”


“It got first place in the viewership rankings of multiple countries!”


“The show’s viewership ratings are so scary!”


“I can’t bear to see it end!”


“I really hope that it will continue airing!”


“Let’s congratulate Zhang Ye! Face-smacking Zhang has really done it this time!”


“Did you guys see what the foreign media wrote about him?”


“Haha, I saw it!”


“—The man at the top of the food chain!”


“Pfft, that’s a really apt nickname for him. There’s really nothing that this fellow doesn’t dare to eat!”



On this day.


From the premiere broadcast to the season finale.


After a full three months of broadcast, Man vs. Wild finally came to an end.


When the special final episode ended, a celebratory feast was finally thrown. It was only then that everyone could afford the time to gather and celebrate this historical moment. Be it for Zhang Ye, for Central TV, for the industry, or for China, this was a show that would go down in the annals of history.


The people from Central TV.


The industry insiders.


They were all here today.


Director Meng came over with his glass raised. “Director Zhang, congratulations.”


Zhang Ye laughed and said, “And the same to you!”


Director Meng said, “Come, let me toast you!”


Zhang Ye said, “No need to be so polite, Director Meng.”


Yu Yingyi stood up. “Zhang’er, let me toast you as well.”


Zhang Ye clinked glasses with her. “Alright.”


A person from Central TV said, “I wish you great success in the future. It was all thanks to you this time. You’re very capable!”


“Yeah, who would’ve thought that such a day would come for a show from China!” Director Meng laughed heartily. “Director Zhang, honestly speaking, you’re the only person in the industry whom I will take my hat off to!”


Zhang Ye said politely, “Haha, thank you. It was all down to the combined efforts of everyone. My job was just to film and edit the show. The rest of the venue arrangements, manpower allocation, and publicity were handled by Central TV. The show couldn’t have gotten popular if any of that were missing. So let me offer a toast to everyone, cheers!”


“Alright!”


“Director Zhang, cheers!”


“Let’s work together again in the future should any opportunities arise!”


“Sure, no problem.”


It was very boisterous at the drinking table as everyone toasted each other amid laughter and chatter. In the past three months, everyone had gone through an unprecedented experience. This feeling of them rising up above the clouds was simply too fantastic. The glory and pride that they had earned was simply something that could not be bought with any amount of money.


Zhang Ye was also very happy today. He drank around eight glasses of rice wine all by himself, and no one could stop him. To tell the truth, it was very risky for him to make this show in the first place. Back in his previous world, Man vs. Wild was actually a foreign television show and Zhang Ye had forcefully ported it over to adapt into a Chinese show. Now that he had gained such good results, he was also very surprised by it himself. It could be said that in the many years since his debut, this was the project that brought him the most popularity. The stars had aligned perfectly for him this time.


Yu Yingyi smiled and asked, “Have the international celebrity rankings been refreshed yet?”


Zhang Ye checked his watch. “I don’t think it has?”


“It’s about to be updated.” Ha Qiqi said anxiously, “I wonder what it will be like.”


A person from Central TV said, “It’s definitely won’t be a problem.”


Director Meng said, “Just three days ago, Director Zhang reached third place on the C-list, right?”


Ha Qiqi nodded. “That’s right.”


Director Meng looked at Zhang Ye. “If you manage to break into the international B-list, you’re going to create history again. China has never had a celebrity who reached the heights that you’re at. Not mentioning China, even for the other celebrities from other countries, there aren’t that many of them who can reach the International B-list Rankings either!”


Zhang Ye laughed and said, “Who knows what will happen? Let’s just wait and see.”


The International B- and C-list Rankings were two entirely different concepts. Even if someone was ranked at the top of the C-list, they were still just a C-lister. They would still be lacking by a tier compared to a B-lister. This time, Zhang Ye had used Man vs. Wild to ascend to the top of the global television industry, so of course he also wished that this show could push his popularity up by another level. He and his staff at the studio had had their eyes on the International B-list Rankings for a very long time and had been waiting for this day since then. It was such a rare opportunity. Zhang Ye was also hoping that he could muster up and break through to the next level in one shot. If he were to miss out on doing so, it might be a very long time before he could make another attempt on ascending to the International B-list Rankings. There might not be such a good chance again within the year.


The popularity rankings were about to be updated.


Zhang Ye was full of anticipation.


The studio’s staff were starting to get anxious as well.



America.


“It’s out!”


“The International Celebrity Rankings Index has been updated!”


“Let me see, let me see!”


“Oh my God!”


“This—”



Japan.


“The index has been published!”


“What ranking is Zhang Ye at?”


“Uh, have a look for yourself.”


“Ah, he’s not on the C-list anymore?”



Korea.


“He’s made it into the B-list rankings!”


“The International B-list Rankings!”


“Heavens, China has finally gotten an international B-lister?”



China.


“He really went up!”


“Hahahahaha!”


“Lord Zhang is almighty!”


“I knew it! I knew it!”



At Zhang Ye’s maternal grandma’s house.


“He did it! He succeeded!”


“Little Ye is an international B-lister now!”


“Are you serious?”


“Look at it yourself!”



At the celebratory feast.


“Hahahahaha!”


“You’ve ascended to the B-list! You’ve done it!”


“You’ve really reached the B-list rankings!”


“Director Zhang, it’s your treat!”


“We’re going to continue eating tomorrow, and it’s going to be your treat!”



The international celebrity rankings.


The results were finally revealed!


Zhang Ye’s name had disappeared from the International C-list Rankings. By the time the index was updated, his name was among those in the International B-list Rankings. Although he was in last place, although this was the very tail end of the International B-list Rankings, a B-lister was still a B-lister. What it represented was entirely different from before. If an international C-lister was regarded as having only made inroads into the international entertainment circle and was at the periphery, then an international B-lister could be described as truly having become a core member of the international entertainment circle. The title, popularity, status, qualifications, all of that was on a different level!


The media erupted!


The entire world was in a heated discussion!


“The International Celebrity Rankings Index has been updated!”


“The man at the top of the food chain has ascended to the International B-list Rankings!”


“China’s first international B-list celebrity!”


“A Chinese celebrity’s popularity soars!”


“Zhang Ye’s path of defiance!”


“Zhang Ye: an all-around artist?”


“Just how far can Zhang Ye keep going?”


In the past few months, Zhang Ye’s international popularity had been skyrocketing. His popularity score was ever-changing by the day. On the day the season ended for Man vs. Wild, he finally broke into the International B-list Rankings and completed a major milestone in his career.


To the staff of Zhang Ye’s Studio, they had long heard from Zhang Ye himself that his final goal was to reach the highest spot in the international entertainment circle. At the time, they just listened to it as a joke and weren’t too bothered by it. But they realized now that Zhang Ye had actually been serious at that time. Over the years, he had really made it to the spot that no one else dared to aim for!


The International B-list Rankings!


This was just like a dream!
