## History

### **The Voice of China Arc**

Zhang Ye privately met with Chen Guang and Fan Wenli in their villa to invite them to be coaches in The Voice of China. Because the two of them were the most professional of singers, their image also aligned with The Voice. After discussing the terms of the contract and joining fee, both Chen Guang and Fan Wenli agreed to join The Voice.

When he came to Central TV to sign the contract for The Voice, he was shocked when he saw Fang Weihong, Zhang Yuanqi's manager, also came to sign a contract.

When he and the rest of the coaches came to Central TV to record the theme song of The Voice, they were stalled by Zhang Zuo under Zhang Ye's orders. After being stalled for half an hour, Zhang Ye finally showed them the score for the theme song as they tried to hum along to the lyrics. After listening to Fan Wenli sing the entire song, he was very satisfied with it. He and Fan Wenli were even more shocked when they found out that the song was written in minutes.

He and the rest of the coaches later wanted to take a look at the rehearsals of the contestants to determine their condition and quality. However, Zhang Ye wanted to keep the suspense and the impact of seeing them for the first time until the recording. When people started doubting Zhang Ye and The Voice's quality, he helped speak up and promote The Voice.

He and the other coaches sang "I Believe" in the opening of The Voice's first episode. During Zhang Ye's advertisement speed recital, he and the other coaches were so shocked that they had to re-shoot the segment to get a more natural reaction.

After hearing Luo Yu sing "Who Told You I Don't Understand", he was the first coach to turn around. He and the other coaches tried to fight for Luo Yu, but she eventually chose him as her coach. He turned for Sun Daxuan since he wanted to have a better balance in the composition of his team, but he chose Fan Wenli. He also turned for the fourth contestant who performed a folk song that needed powerful vocals and an extraordinary range, but he lost that contestant to Zhang Xia. He was also the only one who turned for the seventh contestant. When he heard Qian Pingfan sing, he was shocked by the quality of Qian Pingfan's voice and thought that he was even more professional than a professional singer. He thought that Zhang Ye arranged for an established singer to guest star in the episode. He was the first coach to turn for him and was dumbfounded to see that he's actually a man. He tried all sorts of tricks to grab Qian Pingfan for his team, but Qian Pingfan eventually chose Zhang Yuanqi.

After the recording of the first episode, she went to chat with her team members privately and possibly point out some of their problems to improve on so that they could perform better during the group stages.

After the news that The Voice's first episode had a viewership rating of 2.01%, he forwarded Zhang Ye's "Admiring the Mountains" on Weibo. He later tried imitating Zhang Ye's advertising messages which turned out miserably. His reciting speed was already slower than Zhang Ye’s by two to three times, yet he still stuttered and made a lot of mistakes with the words. On top of that, he was even using a script to read from but could not recite it successfully even at his own speed.

In the second episode, he and the other coaches all turned for Yuan Tong and her performance of "For My Future Son or Daughter", but it is unknown which coach she picked. He and the other coaches all turned at the same time for Zhou Danian for his performance of "I Don't Believe", but they were shocked when they saw that he was an old man. They could hear that the contestant had some age and life experience from the way he sang with his mature and gravelly voice. But even so, it only sounded like a 40-year-old or so, not 60 or above. After Zhou Danian's performance, Chen Guang stood up with warm applause for him. After the coaches fought over him, he chose Zhang Yuanqi as his coach.

### **College Entrance Examinations Arc**

When the questions Zhang Ye set for the Chinese Literature exam leaked on the internet, he laughed at how Zhang Ye has angered the masses once again. He also defended Zhang Ye, saying that it was the Beijing Higher Education Entrance Examination Board who wanted to reform the exam, so they got Zhang Ye precisely because they wanted him to set the most difficult questions. He also stated that since the exams are all the same, the difficulty applies to everyone so there isn't any unfairness.

### **Chenchen's Adventure Arc**

During the recording for the first episode of The Voice since Zhang Ye's return, he and the other coaches chatted with Zhang Ye while waiting for Zhang Yuanqi to arrive. They talked about Zhang Ye's recent incident, and he was amused by how Zhang Ye treated smashing cars as a small incident.
