The next day.
It was the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the morning, Zhang Ye loaded all the bags into his car and drove them to his studio. Without anyone's help, he carried them up the stairs himself.
The employees are all here.
"Director Zhang!"
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Wow, so many things?"
"Let me do it!"
"Just put it there."
Everyone hurried over to help.
There were a lot of things, and none of them were cheap.
An entire gift box of Brain Gold, 1000 yuan shopping cards, mooncakes, etc.
Zhang Ye opened up the box and said to everyone with a smile, "Come, comrades, it's time to distribute the gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone will get a set, so split it among yourselves. After you get your gifts, you should all go home and celebrate the festival. Also, help me send my regards to your families. Everyone has worked hard during this period." Zhang Ye was a bit stingy and did not earn much, but he was not a soft-hearted person. Be it the benefits or the salary, the people in his studio were all considered to be the best in the industry.
Zhang Zuo smiled and said, "That many?"
Little Wang giggled and said, "Director Zhang, you can't do that!"
Little Zhou smiled. "Boss is almighty!"
"By the way, we haven't congratulated our boss," Wu Yi suddenly said.
Everyone immediately responded.
"Haha!"
"Director Zhang, congratulations!"
"What a joyous occasion!"
"Who is our lady boss?"
"Yeah, Director Zhang, please reveal it to us."
Seeing them kick up a fuss, Zhang Ye was amused. "I can't say that for now. Everyone will know in the future."
At this moment, Chenchen strolled in. Old Rao's house was just downstairs and not too far from here. In the past, Rao Aimin would always leave Chenchen to Zhang Ye to take care of whenever she went out. But now, things were much easier to handle. Usually, whenever Rao Aimin went out, she would just let Chenchen come to Zhang Ye's studio. There would definitely be someone to take care of her anyway.
Chenchen looked at the gifts on the floor and said, "Zhang Ye, where are the gifts you gave out?"
Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yeah, what are you trying to do?"
Chenchen nodded. "Give me a portion."
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "You're not my employee."
Chenchen was unhappy. She said like an adult, "I come up every day to help you supervise their work. Without me, your studio would have disbanded a long time ago."
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Then I'll thank you."
"You're welcome." With that, Chenchen opened a box of mooncakes, sat down, and started munching on them.
Everyone burst out laughing.
The items were quickly distributed.
After joking around for a while, everyone sat down for a meeting.
Zhang Ye sat at the head of the table and said, "Everyone, have a good rest for the next two days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we'll be getting busy again. Let me give you a heads-up first so that everyone can be mentally prepared. After that, I'll make an announcement. After the festival, I intend to officially fight for a spot in the S-list!"
Zhang Zuo said, "That's for sure."
Ha Qiqi gave a relaxed smile. "We're already at the top of the A-list rankings, so our next goal will definitely be to reach the top spot of the domestic S-list. We understand this even without you telling us. Everyone has been working hard in this direction all this while. For the next few years, we'll be working towards this goal."
"Yes!"
"Our goal is to reach the top!"
Everyone expressed their opinions.
But Zhang Ye said, "No, you guys might not have understood what I meant."
Ha Qiqi was taken aback. "Eh?"
Wu Yi asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm not talking about within a few years. I'm talking about right now."
Everyone was shocked, "How long is it?"
Zhang Ye answered, "Within a few months."
Everyone vomited blood and broke out in cold sweat!
A few months?
S-list?
Holy shit! Are you dreaming?
How can you possibly get to the S-list in just a few months?
Ha Qiqi hurriedly said, "Director Zhang, you're still young and have an advantage over others. We don't lack time. We have to slowly gain experience, win awards, and accumulate popularity. All of these are not things that can be done in a month or two. If you say that we can still fight for it within a year or two, then we might be able to make it to the top. But how many months? Even if we keep increasing our popularity every day, we still won't be able to catch up, right? "
Wasn't this too much of a rush?
Everyone was feeling uneasy.
Zhang Ye said, "I know it won't be easy. That's why we have to fight for it. We don't lack time? I'm 26 years old this year, almost 27. I still look young and have plenty of time. But don't forget, we haven't opened up the Asian stage yet. We don't even have the qualifications to venture into the international stage yet. If I really continue to slowly endure like this, how old would I be when I reach the top of the domestic entertainment industry in a few years? I'll be in my thirties! Besides, times are changing too quickly these days. You guys should be able to feel that 'male idols' are getting more and more popular these days. In the future, more than half of the entertainment industry's market share will be taken up by them. Who knows what the domestic entertainment industry will be like in a few years? Who can guarantee it? I didn't rely on my looks to make a living in the first place. If I really continue to endure like this, when the times change and the direction of the wind changes, I might not even be able to make it to the S-list even after two or three years. Opportunities are not obtained by enduring, but by fighting for it. "
Everyone fell silent.
Little Wang said, "But there's a Heavenly King who's already going downhill. If we wait another year or two, he might …"
Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "I've never been one to rely on luck. Even if they don't produce any good works now, how do you know that they won't suddenly become popular all over the world one day? Don't underestimate those people in the S-list. None of them are easy to deal with. If I were to hope that the people at the top would drop by themselves, I wouldn't have made it to where I am today. The entertainment industry is very cruel. You guys haven't gone down there naked to fight before, so it might be very difficult for you to understand. But I've always been on the frontlines. I know that if I let my guard down a little, I might be trampled by others the next day. "
He gave an example. "Ning Lan is very popular, right? Back then, Sister Ning was also at the top of the A-list rankings, but what happened in the end? She still couldn't squeeze into those seven spots. I've heard from people in the industry that Sister Ning was waiting for a spot under a Heavenly Queen back then. But after so many years, she still hasn't taken the spot. "
Ha Qiqi took a deep breath. "Have you decided?"
"I've decided." Zhang Ye nodded very seriously. "In the next few months, I must snatch a spot in the S-list. I'm not joking, I'm being serious."
Everyone in the room knew that if these words were made known to the media, it would definitely blow up!
There were a total of seven people in the domestic S-list rankings. They were seven of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry, and their names had been unshakable for many years. Just think about it, every time there was a change in the S-list rankings, it would always trigger an earthquake and a reshuffle in the entertainment industry. In this world, this could be said to be the biggest event in the entire entertainment industry!
But today?
Zhang Ye wanted to force his way to the top?
He wanted to pull down one of those seven people at the top of the pyramid and replace him? And he wanted to do it in just a few short months? Just how much courage would that take!
"Alright, let's do it!"
"We'll listen to you!"
"Just tell us what you say. We'll do whatever you say!"
"Damn, let's go all out then!"
"I'll go and organize the plan. I'll pass it to you after the festival!"
"What else can we do? The boss has already spoken, so let's do it! "
Everyone echoed, but their hearts were pounding.
Could they do it?
Could they really do it?
