Chapter 1674: Ascending to the altar!
In the morning.
The Man vs. Wild Special was finally broadcast.
Due to the participation of several big name celebrities, the attention on this show was at an unprecedented level.
On TV: “Hello, everybody. Today, I’ll be welcoming yet another adventure. But unlike before, I’ll be doing it together with a few friends of mine. For the next three days, I’ll be trying to survive together with them and find our way back into civilization. This will be an extremely tough test for them, as well as for me, so please wish us luck.”
…
China.
“Hahaha!”
“It’s starting, it’s starting!”
“Wow, it’s Lillian!”
“My goddess, she’s so beautiful!”
“Wow, Sister Lan has actually appeared on the show without any makeup. How bold!”
“Jacques is pretty handsome too!”
…
Japan.
“He caught a bug!”
“What kind of bug is that?”
“Who knows!”
“It’s been eaten by Zhang Ye again!”
“Jacques is gonna try it too?”
“Pfft, Jacques puked his guts out!”
“This guy is so weak! And I thought he was supposed to be some tough guy from Hollywood!”
…
Korea.
“The tough guy has been left kneeling!”
“Everything pales in comparison.”
“Yeah, Zhang Ye is truly too fearsome of a person!”
“No tough guy in the world would dare to eat like the way he does!”
“Well done, Lillian! Don’t eat it!”
“Come on, Sister Lan! You can’t eat it!”
“Don’t fall for Zhang Ye’s tricks!”
…
The UK.
“Oh my God!”
“Lillian and the others went out to hunt by themselves!”
“They’re trying to catch a snake!”
“Oh my God! My goddess!”
“I thought they were vegetarians?”
“They must be terribly hungry!”
“They’re eating, they’ve started eating with Zhang Ye!”
…
America.
“There’s no water around.”
“Yeah, they couldn’t find a water source.”
“Ah, what is Zhang Ye doing?”
“Pee?”
“Holy fuck!”
“He’s drinking it! Zhang Ye is drinking pee!”
“I’m gonna puke!”
…
Australia.
“Jesus Christ!”
“Does he need to go that far!”
“He really fucking drank it?”
“Jacques is also drinking pee! Pfft, he’s puking again!”
“That Chinese female celebrity also puked after taking a whiff of it!”
“Only Zhang Ye will drink something like that!”
“This cunt! Not even the world can stop him!”
…
France.
“This is so thrilling!”
“This is why it’s so fun to watch Man vs. Wild.”
“Right, if you can’t find a water source in the wild, the only choice left would be to drink urine. Believe me, when it comes down to it, a lot of people would make this choice as well.”
“Ah! Lillian drank it too!”
“Yeah, she really drank it!”
“Well done, Lillian!”
“I’m afraid Lillian’s fans will be hunting down Zhang Ye soon!”
“Hahahaha!”

“Wow, that honeycomb looks so delicious.”
“Yeah, I’m drooling.”
“The scenery is so beautiful.”
…
In Germany.
“It’s a badge?”
“There’s even blood on it.”
“I remember where this place is!”
“It’s the place where young soldiers were once deployed!”
“Hai, a lot of soldiers are buried there.”
“I’m feeling down now.”
“Many of them were still children.”
…
India.
“Listen to that!”
“Someone’s singing!”
“Who’s singing?”
“Look!”
“It’s Zhang Ye!”
“He’s over there!”
“Everyone has come out into the valley!”
…
“Mama, take this badge from me.
“I can’t use it anymore.
“It’s getting dark, too dark to see.
“Feels like I’m knockin’ on Heaven’s door.”
…
When the singing rang out.
The entire world fell silent.
Everyone was looking at their screens in astonishment and looking at the man who was singing in the valley.
Some people were stunned!
Some people were dumbfounded!
Some people closed their eyes and listened!
Some people’s tears started falling uncontrollably!
This was a very famous and classic rock song from Zhang Ye’s previous world. It could even be called as one of the most classic rock songs of all time. The song’s name was “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” and it had been covered by multiple international superstars and Chinese celebrities. Meanwhile, the version Zhang Ye had performed was even more special as there wasn’t any music accompaniment. He had sung it a cappella, yet it was precisely because of this that gave the song an even greater “wow” factor!
…
China.
“It’s an English Song!”
“Zhang Ye sang an English song!”
“Is this his first ever English song?”
“Yeah, it is!”
“So he can really sing in English!”
“It’s such a nice song!”
…
America.
“Why does he know how to sing?”
“I don’t know, but his singing doesn’t sound like an amateur’s!”
“And he even sang a cappella! That really tests a singer’s skills!”
“This guy has absolutely got to be a professional singer!”
“I just found out that he can sing as well. Also, I’ve never heard of this song before!”
“Was it composed by him on the spot?”
“He’s that great?”
…
Australia.
“How nice!”
“I’m a little touched!”
“I teared up listening to it!”
“For the first time, it finally feels like he’s a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.”
“Yeah, this is clearly an anti-war song.”
“It was really great!”
“You don’t usually get to hear such a heartfelt song!”
…
The Netherlands.
“He’s called Zhang Ye?”
“I’m getting more interested in this Chinese celebrity!”
“He’s too talented at too many things.”
“I have a feeling that this song is gonna get really popular around the world!”
“The episode has ended.”
“I wanna hear it again!”
“Has it been released as a single?”
…
That same day.
The entire world burst in an uproar!
Man vs. Wild blew up once again!
“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” also unexpectedly became very popular across the world!
This was something that Zhang Ye and the staff at his studio had not expected. When Zhang Ye sang the song, he had done so spontaneously and did not plan on recording it as part of the show. But at that time, the film crew had brought over their cameras when they heard the singing, so when Zhang Ye saw that it wasn’t too badly performed, he included it in the final cut of the episode. He had not expected such a great reaction to it. This song was actually getting spread around by countless people, celebrities, and media outlets all over the world.
At the studio.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Ha Qiqi exclaimed, “The song is getting spread everywhere!”
Little Wang said in shock, “This is so crazy!”
“Does this make it a package deal?” Zhang Zuo was very amused. “We were just working on a TV show, but it ended up launching Director Zhang’s international music career as well?”
Tong Fu said gleefully, “This song’s arrival is so timely. When Director Zhang beat up someone at the Nobel Prize award ceremony and stirred up so much trouble, the Nobel Prize Committee must’ve hated him to the bone. With the release of this anti-war song, we can finally consider ourselves acquitted.”
On the same night, the viewership ratings were released.
America: #1!
Japan: #1!
China: #1!
Korea: #1!
The UK: #1!
Man vs. Wild had actually gotten first place in the viewership ratings ranking across multiple countries!
