Chapter 1314: The most powerful person in the entertainnt circle!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
…
At Jiang Hanwei's studio.
"Why is it him!"
"Yeah, they could have gotten anyone else to do it!"
"Then do we still have to make preparations for our act?"
"What do you think!"
"What's there left to prepare for!"
…
At his old classmate's house.
Yu Yingyi's jaw dropped!
"Holy shit!"
"Zhang'er is going to be the executive director?"
"That's so aweso! He's going to soar to the skies again!"
…
At Central TV.
"Ah!"
"Heavens!"
"Zhang Ye?"
"Soone tell this isn't true!"
"Why did they get him!"
"No, please, no!"
…
What was the Spring Festival Gala?
How important was the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala?
Just what kind of an important role was this?
This didn't need any explaining at all. This was the leader of the Spring Festival Gala's production team who would be in charge of the stage production, personnel arrangents, screening of acts, production of the event, as well as making approvals. All of those matters would have to go through the executive director! Even if any of the upper managent raised an objection, they wouldn't be able to directly intervene on specific matters of the event, nor bypass him to make any decisions. They would have to communicate and discuss this thoroughly with the executive director!
This was a role that the entire world's Chinese population was most concerned about right now!
Yet they had appointed Zhang Ye to the role?
Many of those in the industry who had offended Zhang Ye were unable to accept this!
Especially to those from the crosstalk world and entertainnt industry, this was simply a disaster. The images of the recent call for an industry-wide boycott on Zhang Ye were extrely vivid, so if Zhang Ye were to beco the Spring Festival Gala's executive director, would their group of people still be able to get onto the Spring Festival Gala?
As if that would still be possible!
They would surely be destroyed instead!
The crosstalk world was plunged into chaos.
Quite a few crosstalk actors quickly held ergency etings.
"What should we do?"
"How are we going to handle this?"
"What else can we do? Just carry on doing whatever we've been doing."
"We've already been preparing for half a year!"
"There's nothing confird yet, and if there are enough people objecting to it, the higher-ups might even change their mind!"
"Right, we'll have to leave it to the dia from here!"
"Let's see how the dia will criticize him!"
However, whatever they had in mind did not happen at all!
The news arrived first to the industry.
Then the news started reporting about it.
"Watch out, Spring Festival Gala. Zhang Ye is coming!"
"The Spring Festival Gala's executive director role falls to Zhang Ye!"
"The Spring Festival Gala will be held by the best director of television variety shows!"
"Zhang Ye in danger! Will he be able to turn the tide?"
"Zhang Ye's debut on the Spring Festival Gala turns out this way!"
"Zhang Ye to bring a new look to the Spring Festival Gala!"
"Zhang Ye's Spring Festival Gala leaves us in anticipation!"
On this night, there was a surprising consistency not only among the smaller tabloids and social dia news blogs, but also the attitude through mainstream dia. There were no criticism or doubting voices, with the mainstream dia almost giving their full support to Zhang Ye. So of the dia even listed Zhang Ye's achievents all the way back from Lecture Room to the present. They were all reaffirming Zhang Ye abilities in directing as though they had discussed it beforehand and were greatly anticipating his directing of the Spring Festival Gala!
The people from the crosstalk world were dumbfounded!
Tang Dazhang and several older crosstalk actors nearly vomited blood!
"Anticipating? Your sister!"
"What's with the dia!"
"Why are they giving him so much support?"
"Zhang Ye is just a variety show director. How can he be experienced enough to direct a gala!"
"Aren't these dia outlets lying through their teeth!"
"Yeah, didn't the dia always gang up against Zhang Ye whenever there was any news related to him? Didn't they always question and criticize him at the earliest available mont?"
"That was all in the past. Have you all forgotten who his wife is? Ever since the rger of the SARFT and GAPP 1 , the newspaper dia has also co under the jurisdiction of the SARFT. Do you think the dia are crazy enough to do that in these circumstances? Knowing that Zhang Ye is the husband of their overseeing authority's leader, would they still dare to tread around as recklessly as they did in the past? Do you think they're idiots?"
"They're just swaying in the wind!"
"Shaless! Shaless to the extre!"
"These dia outlets really don't have any principles at all!"
The wheel of fortune is always turning. They could never have expected that this fellow with no artistic integrity who on kept fighting them would suddenly beco the husband to the leader of the SARFT in just a few years. And now, he was even going to direct this year's Spring Festival Gala and have the final authoritative say in its matters?!
How could they accept this?
They were completely unable to accept it!
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that they didn't regret it. The crosstalk world had to swallow this insult and humiliation in silence and couldn't voice their bitterness. Just think about it; why did they have to take it up with Zhang Ye all the way back then? Couldn't they just have ignored him? In the end, they were the ones who made such a big enemy for themselves. This was such a terrible defeat for them. And most importantly, if they had managed to face smack Zhang Ye just once in the past, it would have appeased them slightly and made them feel less terrible now. But in every fight they had with Zhang Ye, they'd never co out on top once. Not even once!
So what had they been fighting for then?
As such, many of the crosstalk actors couldn't help but be unhappy with Tang Dazhang over this matter. It was all because of you! You were the one who led us against him, you were the one who picked on things. It was you who provoked the enemy, it was you who brought us the catastrophe. Look at this! Is the entire world going to have to be buried together with you? Why should that be the case!
…
When the news got out, excitent ripped through the Internet!
The netizens were all expressing their disbelief!
"Oh my God!"
"It's really Zhang Ye?"
"They've gotten him to direct the Spring Festival Gala? This is such a big move!"
"How could this be!"
"If it's really him, then the Spring Festival Gala this year might be interesting to watch!"
"Yeah, this fellow can kick up a storm wherever he goes!"
"Why are all the dia outlets praising him?"
"I'm also not used to this. Didn't they always speak badly of Zhang Ye in the past?"
"Starting from today, Zhang Ye's door sill will soon be trampled flat. All of the acts' chances of getting onto the Spring Festival Gala are now in Zhang Ye's hands!"
"The crosstalk world is gonna cry!"
"How domineering!"
"What's so domineering about that? Why does Zhang Ye even want to get involved in a ss like this? He's too bold!"
"Yeah, there's nothing to criticize about Teacher Zhang's directing skills. Everyone can see that for themselves. But the executive director role for the Spring Festival Gala is really just to take the rap when it fails, so appointing any other person would be the sa. It doesn't matter who takes the job. The Spring Festival Gala is still going downhill no matter what, and nothing can be done to reverse that. The viewership ratings will still continue to drop. I'm just worried that Zhang Ye will gain nothing out of this, or even worse, end up getting blad for it. If that is the case, then wouldn't it have been better not to take the role in the first place? There's no point in having a mont of glory if it ends up with him suffering a defeat. How could he wrap it up at the end? Zhang Ye has already made a na for himself, so why would he still take such a risk?"
"Well, at least he'll have tasted glory once!"
"I'm in support of Zhang Ye doing a good one for the Spring Festival Gala!"
"I'm not optimistic about it."
" neither."
There were many different opinions among the people, with everyone saying different things about Zhang Ye's appointnt as the executive director of the Spring Festival Gala. However, the majority of the opinions were pessimistic. After all, the Spring Festival Gala had already "hurt" everyone too much!
Year after year of anticipation!
In exchange for year after year of disappointnt!
As such, the people were no longer hopeful of anything!
…
Back at ho.
In the bedroom.
Zhang Ye powered off his phone and went to bed early.
A news bombardnt?
His industry peers in chaos?
The people in an uproar?
He couldn't see all of this, nor did he want to know about it. This was because Zhang Ye knew very well that tonight would be the last night that he would get a good night's rest. Starting tomorrow, he would officially be taking charge of the Central TV Spring Festival Gala. At that ti, it would almost be impossible for him to get a proper night's rest. From tomorrow until Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Ye would be the busiest person in the entertainnt circle. But of course, at the sa ti, he was going to be the most powerful person in the entertainnt circle!
