He returned home.
Before he even opened the door, he could hear the phone ringing in the living room.
His mother took two steps forward to answer it. It was his third uncle.
"Sis, Little Ye is engaged?"
"Haha, that's right."
"Aiyo, we didn't even know!"
"No one told anyone."
"Whose child is it?"
"Little Ye doesn't want us to tell. It's a secret for now."
"Why can't he tell his own family?"
"Hehe, it's because my future daughter-in-law has a special status."
Phone calls came in one after another. His grandmother's family, his uncle's family, and his aunt's family all called him when they heard the news. They all expressed their surprise and tried to get to the bottom of the matter, trying to find out who it was. His mother naturally wanted to tell him as she had been holding it in for the past few days. But as this matter was too big and the public was paying too much attention to it, and Wu Zeqing's identity was not an ordinary person, his mother could not reveal it for the time being.
Zhang Ye was also on the phone.
To be precise, he was the one who took the initiative to call his friends. Without waiting for them to ask, Zhang Ye went to announce the good news. He was extremely smug!
First, he called Yao Jiancai. They were old partners and had a good relationship.
"Old Yao, I'm engaged."
"Stop fooling around."
"Damn, I'm really engaged!"
"You don't even have a girlfriend, so why are you getting engaged?"
"Heh, who said I don't have a girlfriend?"
"Kid, are you serious?"
"I can't be any more serious. Hurry up and congratulate me."
"Congratulations. Eh, whose daughter is this? She's so unlucky."
"Your sister!"
Then he called Beijing Television's Hu Fei.
"Brother Hu."
"I saw Weibo. What's the situation?"
"Haha, she's engaged."
"This is too sudden. This is great news. Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"When are you getting married?"
"It should be soon."
"Alright, let us know when the date is set. We'll definitely be there!"
"Of course!"
After making more than a dozen calls, Zhang Ye told everyone he could. Finally, the Celebrity Goof Group on his cell phone blew up. Everyone was guessing who Zhang Ye's fiancée was.
Ning Lan: "Haha, who do you guys think is so unlucky?"
Fan Wenli: "Laughing."
Chen Guang: "This Boss Zhang is really good at keeping it a secret. Even I didn't know!"
Huo Dongfang: "In any case, we have to congratulate him."
Xiaodong exclaimed, "Ahhh, is Boss Zhang joking?"
"That's true. He usually doesn't speak the truth," Chen Guang replied.
At this moment, Zhang Ye popped up. "I'm not joking. I'm serious."
Amy sent a voice message saying: "You're finally out! Everyone was guessing if it was someone from the industry. Who was it? I'm so curious! "
Everyone was bombarding the screen with questions!
Many big-name celebrities who had been lurking also came out to watch the show.
Zhang Ye answered, "I'm in the industry, but I'm not."
Ning Lan asked, "Do we know each other?"
Zhang Ye thought for a moment, then smiled and typed: "You should all know who she is, but I don't know if you know her or not. I'll keep it a secret for now and announce it when I get married."
Li Ke: "Are you trying to suffocate us to death?"
Fan Wenli: "When is the banquet?"
Zhang Ye said, "Hai, it hasn't been decided yet."
Li Xiaoxian laughed. "But Teacher Zhang is still so cool. He can announce it and get married whenever he wants. He's not like us, who sometimes have to be sneaky even when we meet up with our male friends. We're afraid that we'll lose fans if we get involved in a scandal. I'm really envious of Teacher Zhang for this."
Amy sighed and said, "That's true. Lord Zhang's fan base is many times stronger than ours. He's already unafraid of anything when he's gotten to where he is now. But we still have to get past the hurdle of getting married. I wonder how many of us can get past that."
Ning Lan asked, "Amy is in love?"
Amy said, "I wouldn't dare."
Xiaodong said, "Hehe, Amy is thinking of earning enough money first. When she doesn't have to worry for the rest of her life, she'll get married. At that time, she'll officially bid farewell to the entertainment industry."
Everyone started an in-depth discussion and research on the topic of "how can celebrities not lose fans when they get married?" Using Zhang Ye as an example, they listed the cases of many celebrities in the entertainment industry and analyzed their experiences. In the end, they came to a surprising conclusion — how can celebrities not lose fans when they get married?
Hur hur!
Who knows!
On the same night, the news came out one after another.
"Zhang Ye announces his engagement!"
"Zhang Ye's fiancée's identity revealed!"
"Breaking news! Zhang Ye secretly gets his marriage certificate! "
"Witness: Zhang Ye goes on a late-night date with Dong Shanshan!"
"Exclusive reveal of Zhang Ye's fiancée: University classmate, Yu Yingyi!"
Rumors were flying everywhere. Many of the rumors seemed to make sense, with all sorts of photoshop experts appearing. But in reality, they were all just trying to ride on the hype. In the end, even some of the official media outlets were confused by the rumors and started analyzing them. Many of them confidently expressed that they had figured out who the fiancée was.
Zhang Ye did not even need to look at them because he knew very well that if someone really knew who his fiancée was, they would definitely not dare to publish such a report.
…
At night.
The excitement had died down. Those who were supposed to be sleeping had already gone to bed.
Zhang Ye browsed through the newly updated Chinese Celebrity Rankings Index and looked at his ranking. He was still at the top of the domestic A-list celebrity rankings and had not changed at all. His popularity score had increased by quite a bit, but when he looked at the people at the top of the entertainment industry's food chain in the S-list rankings, the gap between their popularity scores did not seem to have narrowed by much. Among those people at the top, some of them had just starred in a movie that had grossed over 300 million RMB, some of them had a new TV series that was popular all over the country, and some of them had a new song that reached the middle of an authoritative foreign music chart. Each one was stronger than the other.
Zhang Ye was very popular!
But it was the same for others. They were also constantly gaining fans every day!
Although one of them was a Heavenly King who was not as popular as he was when he was younger and was on the decline, his popularity score did not increase much. But as the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The popularity that he had accumulated over the years was not something that Zhang Ye could surpass in a short period of time. The S-list rankings had not been updated in many years. It had always been those few people who dominated the entertainment industry. They were a monolithic entity that had not changed at all.
Looking at those familiar names, Zhang Ye made up his mind this time. Now that he was engaged, his fighting spirit was getting stronger and stronger. His motivation was getting stronger and stronger. He was now thinking about how he could get a foothold in the S-list rankings, which was as solid as a board.
Impossible?
Unrealistic?
This was not something that Zhang Ye needed to consider!
Because this was something that he had to do sooner or later!
The difference in status between an A-list celebrity and an S-list celebrity was still too great. If he really managed to get into the S-list, his ranking would no longer matter. In theory, the Heavenly Kings and Queens did not differ much from each other, and their statuses would also be the same. These people were all at the top of the food chain, but an A-list celebrity and an S-list celebrity were different. No matter how close their popularity scores were, their statuses would still be different. This was also the reason why Zhang Ye was so insistent on reaching the top of the domestic rankings. His Asian Celebrity Rankings Index had already been released, but Zhang Ye had not paid much attention to it. This was because he needed to reach the top of the domestic rankings first. With this foundation, he would be able to venture into Asia in the future, and even venture into the international entertainment industry. Otherwise, if he were to venture into the international scene before he could even gain a foothold in the country, it would clearly be unreliable. Everything had to be done one step at a time.
He had to put it on the agenda!
He had to get one of the top spots in the country as soon as possible!
