The third step of the "Reach the Summit" plan was set.
Everyone's plan was to wait? Gather information? Try their luck?
But Zhang Ye did not think so. He had his own ideas. He definitely had to fight for this. This was a great opportunity to be included in the Chinese textbooks. Only an idiot would reject it! Of course, Zhang Ye was not doing this for himself. He really wasn't. He was doing this for the great scholars of his world. The crystallization of the wisdom of the scholars of his world. If they couldn't even make it into the language textbooks in this world, then what the heck would that be?
Wouldn't this be an insult!?
Wasn't this f * cking bullying?!
Could he tolerate it? He couldn't!
Even if he could tolerate it, could Old Li (Li Bai) tolerate it? Could Old Du (Du Fu) tolerate it?
So Zhang Ye thought that he had to fight for a small spot in the textbooks no matter what!
After the meeting, Zhang Ye went to make a call. He first called his Peking University colleague, Teacher Su Na from the Chinese department. He had always been on good terms with her father, who was also in the literary world.
"Teacher Su."
"Yo, Teacher Zhang."
"What have you been doing recently?"
"Teaching. What else can I be doing?"
"Oh yes, I have a question. Have you heard about the new edition of the textbooks?"
"I've heard about it. There's an undercurrent in the literary world. Who doesn't know about it? What's the meaning of this? You want to fight for it too? Oh yes, Teacher Zhang, you're qualified! "
"Aiya, don't say that. How am I qualified? I'm still far from it. I was just asking casually. What are the criteria for them to be selected for the textbooks?"
"Didn't you say that you were far from it?"
"Yeah, but a person can't not have a goal. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"
"Pfft, so it's always you no matter what? Well, I don't know much anyway. I heard it from my parents, but I'm not sure about the criteria for being selected. That's an internal matter of the Ministry of Education's working group that specializes in the compilation of new textbooks. I just know that they're almost done with their research and have already selected the candidates. I think it'll be tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, they'll have a meeting to decide on the revision of the Chinese textbooks. As for when they'll be announced and officially printed, I don't know. As for the Mathematics and Physics textbooks, they might be revised at a later date. Due to the huge debate, it won't be decided in a short period of time — I heard this news from the Mathematics Department.
"Tomorrow morning?"
"I think so."
"Don't pretend. Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, I got it. Thanks, you're really well-informed."
"Who asked you to not come to Peking University even once in 800 years? If you came here every day to teach, wouldn't you be able to hear about the education world?"
He hung up.
Zhang Ye found Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo. "I've asked around. The revision of the Chinese language textbooks will be decided by tomorrow morning."
Zhang Zuo said in anticipation, "Let's hope there's good news!"
Zhang Ye suddenly thought of something and looked at Ha Qiqi. "Oh yes, Sister Ha, when you were at Old Rao's house, you told me that something happened at Central TV? What happened? "
Ha Qiqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's insider news. I found out about it from my former colleagues at Central TV. It hasn't been spread yet, but it's been confirmed."
Zhang Ye asked, "What's the matter?"
Ha Qiqi said, "Central TV Department 1 is going to produce a second season of The Voice!"
Little Wang's ears were sharp and she heard it. "What? Where did they get the copyright? When they signed the contract, the copyright was all in Director Zhang's hands! "
Ha Qiqi shook her head. "I was just making an analogy. Actually, they're going to produce a new show and are already preparing for it. The show's name will be Sing! of China. To put it bluntly, The Voice and Sing! are just different names. In actual fact, it's just the second season of The Voice. Last year, The Voice was too popular, and Central TV Department 1 did not have any other variety shows that could hold their own this year, so they decided to use The Voice as their new show. They'll probably hire a new team and coaches, but I heard that there won't be any major changes to the stage and the format will still be the same."
Little Wang exclaimed, "That's also copyright infringement!"
Wu Yi said angrily, "It's still the same old stuff! Sue them! "
But Zhang Zuo said, "If they change the segment where the chairs turn around, such as having the coaches get off their chairs and turn around, or something similar, it would be very difficult to sue them. They can just say that it's a new show with a new design, so what can you do about it? You won't even win a lawsuit. "
The Voice had been broadcast for a year now. Counting the days, Central TV Department 1 should not be able to sit still any longer. Many netizens had been discussing that since Zhang Ye had terminated his contract with Central TV, what would happen to the second season of The Voice? Who would do it? How would they do it? But now, the answer seemed to have been found. Central TV Department 1 would still be doing it, except that they would get rid of Zhang Ye, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the other members of the old team, and then use the tiger's skin!
It was very sinister!
But it was also to be expected!
Zhang Ye was not surprised and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now."
What else could he do but put it aside? This sort of thing had happened in Zhang Ye's previous world as well. Although the copyright holder had changed, the history was always shockingly similar, so it was very difficult to defend their rights.
Forget it, he would just ignore them for now. The "Reach the Summit" plan was more important.
… …
Later that afternoon.
The news appeared frequently!
The matter of the primary and secondary school textbooks being redesigned was finally exposed. Moreover, it was the Ministry of Education that held a press conference to announce this important news. To many people in the industry, this was not news at all. But to the general public, this was the first time most of them were hearing about it.
There was a lot of information in this press conference.
For example, the high school mathematics textbooks would increase the difficulty level.
For example, the primary school Chinese textbooks would strengthen the education of patriotism.
For example, the English textbooks would increase the number of vocabulary words.
Of course, the thing that attracted the most attention was still the revision of the Chinese textbooks. Over the years, whenever there was a textbook redesign, the primary and secondary school Chinese textbooks would always receive the most attention!
"Math is already difficult enough, yet they want to make it even more difficult?"
"Don't! I'm just not good at math! "
"Hai, don't put too much pressure on the children."
"The Chinese textbooks are going to be overhauled too?"
"Whose essay do you guys think will be included in the textbooks?"
"Who can say for sure?"
"Right, any master of the literary world might be included. Isn't Master Liu's essay very famous? It was the subject of much discussion in the past two days, so it should be included, right? "
"Who knows?"
"There's still hope for the two winners of the Yanhong Literary Prize, right?"
"Eh, then does that mean that Zhang Ye also has a chance?"
"Yeah, there's a chance for him too!"
"Ahhh, I like Zhang Ye's' The Answer. 'Being despicable is the passport of the despicable. I really love this poem, but it's a bit too dark for young people? I don't think it'll be included. "
"'Ode to Young China' has the highest chance!"
"Right, 'Ode to Young China'! How could I have forgotten about it! "
"That's right, I remember it too. It was even featured in People's Daily back then!"
"Zhang Ye's essays and poems are too murderous. If he can really fight for the revision of the Chinese textbooks, then 'Ode to Young China' is one of the few chances he has!"
"Teacher Zhang, you can do it!"
"Damn, if Face-smacking Zhang really gets included in the textbooks, then he'll be so awesome! Won't that fellow soar to the heavens? "
"Novel author, poet, host, singer, mathematician, calligrapher, crosstalk actor, skit actor, variety director, documentary director, Go master, etc. Does Zhang Ye even need to soar to the heavens? This fellow is already fucking standing shoulder to shoulder with the Sun! "
"Pfft!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"This is such a great opportunity. Let's see if Teacher Zhang can grasp it!"
