Chapter 1004 The Second Season of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” Starts!
“After this consultation is over, I have to rush to Comores.”
Sitting in front of the desk, Fang Qiu recalled the promise he had made to the President of Comores at that time.
Solving the problem within one year; however, Fang Qiu had not been able to find time to do so until now.
After he resolved everything, it was almost time to settle the matter.
At the thought of this…
Fang Qiu logged into Weibo with his computer and searched through the dense comments for the next location to treat the patients.
However, there were too many comments. Fang Qiu didn’t find one after looking for a long time.
But this time, “Beep…”
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Fang Qiu put down the distress of choosing the place to treat the patients temporarily. He took out his phone and discovered that it was Director Li Huawen, whom he hadn’t spoken to in a long time.
“Hello, Director Li.”
Fang Qiu answered the phone, wondering what the matter was with Director Li this time.
“Fang Qiu.”
Director Li Huawen’s familiar voice came from the other side of the phone. He said, “It’s been a long time. I haven’t seen you for a while. How’s it going? Have you been living a good life?”
“Thanks to you, it’s all right,” said Fang Qiu with a smile.
“Hey, why hasn’t there been any news about you recently? There seems no big news about the Chinese Medicine you developed. Are you giving up being a doctor of Chinese Medicine ’cause you are famous?” Director Li Huawen asked with a smile.
Of course, this was just a joke. How could he not know Fang Qiu’s tenacity when it came to Chinese Medicine?
“Of course not. Chinese Medicine has been sold on the international market. Isn’t that big news?” Fang Qiu said.
“That’s not what you did, either.”
Li Huawen smiled and said, “Forget it. I don’t want to argue with you anymore. Let’s get down to business.”
“What is it?” Asked Fang Qiu hurriedly.
“Here’s the thing.” Director Li Huawen said, “As the ratings of the last season of the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’ are very good and they have successfully released a large-scale impact on the culture of Chinese Medicine, I received a notice from the leaders in the station that the approval of the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor has been issued. We have already begun to prepare for that. You are the champion of the first season of the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’. How about making some contributions to the second season of the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’?”
“What kind of contribution?”
Fang Qiu smiled bitterly and said, “I’ve won the championship of the first season. I can’t go to participate in the second season again and win the championship, right?”
“Of course not.”
Li Huawen curled his lips and said, “After discussion, I reached an agreement with the leaders of the TV station. We want to invite you to participate in the program as a guest judge of the second season of the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’.”
He and the leaders of Central Television were well aware that Fang Qiu was the driving force behind the success of the first season of “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor.” Although there were still many loyal viewers in the second season, the ratings would not be as high as they were in the first season, unless they could see Fang Qiu in every episode!
Therefore, Director Li Huawen and the leaders of the TV station decided to invite Fang Qiu to the position of guest judge.
“Well, it’s not appropriate.”
Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and said, “Although I won the championship of the first season, I’m just a college student now. Moreover, my current status in the Chinese Medicine industry is not even a highly-skilled doctor. I’m not qualified at all. I don’t dare to be a judge. Director Li, please do me a favor and let me go, okay?”
“No,” Director Li Huawen immediately replied sternly.
“To be honest,” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and added, “Director Li, I really don’t have time to attend the show now. I really can’t be a guest judge.”
“You brat.” Director Li Huawen was speechless and said, “You don’t feel grateful, do you? Don’t you want to be on the show that made you famous?”
“That’s not what I meant. I really have something urgent to do.”
Fang Qiu smiled helplessly and said, “Don’t you want me to make big news? When I’m done with this matter, you will see big news.”
Hearing that, Li Huawen was stunned.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Fang Qiu really had something important to do.
“That’s it.”
After thinking for a while, Director Li Huawen said, “You don’t have to be a guest judge. You have to at least make some contributions to our second season. Don’t you want to publicize Chinese Medicine more?”
“Of course I do.”
Fang Qiu immediately replied, “I can help with that, but in terms of time…”
“Okay, I know you don’t have much time.”
Director Li Huawen curled his lips and said, “Now I officially invite you to join the recruitment team for the second season of the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’. You only need to participate in the first and last episodes of the show. Even if you don’t appear in the other episodes, you have to appear in these two episodes, okay?”
“Okay, let’s do this.” Fang Qiu nodded in agreement.
“Very well, it’s settled then.”
Director Li Huawen nodded with satisfaction. Then, his tone changed, and he said mysteriously, “I’ll tell you something in advance. One of the judges in this season is someone you’re very familiar with.”
“Oh?”
Fang Qiu thought about all the highly-skilled doctors he knew but still couldn’t figure out who it was in the end. He immediately asked, “Who is it?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Director Li Huawen said with a smile.
“Is it really have to be that secretive?”
Fang Qiu smiled wryly and said, “You’ve aroused my curiosity, but you didn’t tell me who it is. Aren’t you deliberately making me sad?”
“Haha, didn’t you make me sad too?”
Director Li Huawen laughed and said, “We’re even now.”
Fang Qiu was speechless.
In the capital, in the Central Television Station and in the meeting room of the show of the second season of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor”, “It’s time to release the official Weibo post to publicize!” As soon as Director Li Huawen hung up the phone, he immediately gave the order.
He was not stupid.
The small talk with Fang Qiu at first was just a casual remark. As a big director living in the capital, how could he not know the news that the Trillium Root-Securing Pill and Life-prolonging Earth Pill were popular abroad? The reason why he called Fang Qiu at this time was to take advantage of this to make a good advertisement for the second season of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor”.
Just like that, as soon as the order was given, the publicity department, which had already been prepared, posted it on Weibo immediately.
“#The second season of the ‘Young Chinese Medicine Doctor’ officially issued a Chinese Medicine Summon Order. There is no limit to the area. Anyone under 30 years old can participate in it. The general convener of this season is XX (Please look forward to the announcement).”
Because the last season had laid a solid foundation for the masses, the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” had millions of fans on Weibo.
After the Weibo post came out, seeing this, everyone was immediately excited.
When the loyal fans of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” saw this post, they were all thrilled.
“It’s finally coming!”
“After waiting for so long, it’s finally here.”
“I’m looking forward to it. The last season’s shooting was so good. I hope this season can be better.”
“Will Fang Qiu participate in this season?”
“Guess who this general convener is. I guess it is Fang Qiu because his name is two words, and I pretend to ignore it deliberately.”
As soon as this comment came out, it immediately attracted countless netizens’ likes and comments.
“Hahaha, it’s obvious. It’s Fang Qiu at first glance. His name is just two words!”
“This question is not difficult at all.”
“Why didn’t you learn from ‘Run Wild & Survive’ and just create a sketch so that everyone can have a guess?”
Soon, in the heated discussion among netizens, this post was reposted and viewed by an increasing number of people.
Everyone was excited when it was announced that the second season of “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” would be released. Despite the fact that they were not die-hard fans of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor,” such a good show was worth watching!
Apart from the netizens, the other variety shows were also made aware of the news as soon as it became available. As netizens predicted, all major variety shows believed that the so-called general convenor must be Fang Qiu.
However, at the thought of Fang Qiu’s name, they felt so tough and didn’t know what to say.
For a moment, the whole variety show industry was in an uproar!
After the two shows of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” and “Old Way Survival”, all variety shows were afraid of Fang Qiu. This guy was really good at it.
The point was…
With Fang Qiu’s appearance in the show, it would not only compete for the ratings, but also the advertising fee!
After all, at this time, after a large sum of advertising fee was invested in some variety show, a large-scale company couldn’t invest in a second one.
Now, as soon as Fang Qiu appeared, the advertisers must have swarmed to him again. How could they live?
As expected, as soon as the official Weibo of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” released the news, many large companies were ready to take action. They all called the crew of the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” to inquire about the title, advertisements, and so on.
Of course, the Central Television was not stupid.
Since they earned a lot from the first season, they would definitely not sign advertisements and naming contracts with any company in private this season. Even if they wanted to sign a contract, they would have to hold a business fair first and wait for these large-scale companies to bid.
On the other side, countless young Chinese Medicine doctors were itching and prepared to join the competition after seeing the news.
In the eyes of these people, there were too many things that the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” could bring to them. Of course, some of them were doctors who really worked hard for Chinese Medicine, while others were just going to study. Of course, there were also those who went for fame and profit.
After all, Fang Qiu’s success in the “Young Chinese Medicine Doctor” was obvious. Just the 60 million fans on Weibo were enough to ensure that he would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Perhaps some of them were going to study Chinese Medicine in order to be famous.
This time, in addition to a large number of Chinese Medicine apprentices, the students of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine were also well prepared. All of the teachers encouraged the students to take part in the competition. Those with good grades wanted to win the championship, while those with bad grades wanted to study. After all, the last champion came from UJCM, and UJCM students had two seats in the top ten last season, which was the school’s honor.
Of course, there was no definite requirement from teachers and leaders to leave this honor in the school. They simply allowed the students to treat this competition as a test, a self-promotional test!
