Back at home.
His parents were also dumbfounded!
His mother turned to him. "When did you become the grandmaster of plaza dancing?"
Zhang Ye nearly vomited blood. "How would I know?"
His father was speechless.
A call came in the next moment.
It was Yao Jiancai who called first.
When Zhang Ye answered, he heard loud laughter coming from the other end.
Yao Jiancai laughed, "Hahahahaha!"
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "What's the matter, Old Yao?"
Yao Jiancai: "Have you seen News Simulcast? Hahahaha! You're good, you're too good! Aiyo, this is so funny. Let me laugh a little longer! "
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "That's about enough."
"That won't do. It's too funny!"
Soon after, another call came in.
It was Yu Yingyi from college. "Hello, grandmaster of plaza dancing."
Zhang Ye said in a speechless manner, "Get lost!"
Yu Yingyi laughed heartily. "Your popularity among the middle-aged and elderly women has skyrocketed. My mom even called me today to ask for your autograph. She said that the aunties in their neighborhood are all your hardcore fans, so remember this. When I'm done with this, I'll look for you. Get me a few more autographs!"
Zhang Ye said angrily, "No."
The calls came in one after another.
This group of old friends and classmates were all calling to mock him.
Zhang Ye was also at his wit's end. There was nothing he could say in response. Plaza dancing was notorious in his previous world. It had a terrible reputation. Zhang Ye could make a joke or sing a song or two for others, but if he was to be associated with the heritage of plaza dancing, he would definitely run as far away as he could. He was not going to take the blame for this! But who could have expected that they would give him the seniority of a grandmaster? This left Zhang Ye with nowhere to hide. He felt so wronged that his intestines turned green!
Holy Spirit, Earth Spirit.
Let's get this over with quickly!
Let's hope that no one takes this joke seriously!
...
However, the development was exactly the opposite of what Zhang Ye was hoping for!
What was News Simulcast?
It was the most watched program in the country besides the Spring Festival Gala. If the total viewership was calculated, no one would dare to claim first place if it claimed to be second. Central TV's Spring Festival Gala was only held once a year, but News Simulcast was broadcast every day. Furthermore, it was broadcast by all the satellite channels in the country. Comparing viewership? Comparing viewership numbers? Even I Am a Singer and King of Masked Singers had to step aside. The difference was too great!
The content quickly spread like wildfire!
The netizens on Weibo were laughing their heads off!
"Quick, watch the news broadcast!"
"Today's interview was brilliant! It's blinding! "
"Hahahahaha!"
"Aiyo, I can't take it anymore!"
"Ancestor?"
"Inexplicably poked a funny point!"
"This auntie is too funny!"
"Teacher Zhang has created a new industry! Let the whole nation celebrate! "
"Pfft, but thinking about it, Zhang Ye's two songs have indeed brought plaza dancing to greater heights. Even my mom, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, went out to dance this morning. Just tell me how influential it is. Saying that Zhang Ye is the founder of plaza dancing? There's nothing wrong with that! "
"Teacher Zhang has gained yet another nickname!"
"Even the ancestors have to be offered incense by the descendants, right?"
"That's right. A hundred years later, every district's plaza dance team will hang Zhang Ye's picture before their dance and burn three joss sticks to commemorate the founder."
"I'm going to faint from laughing!"
"Hahaha, that's enough, y 'all!"
"I really have to give it to him. Whenever something is related to Zhang Ye, it always ends up being funny for some reason. This morning," Small Apple "and" The Hottest Ethnic Trend "were playing downstairs at my house and woke me up. I was quite angry about it, but after watching this interview on News Simulcast, I fucking lost all my anger and laughed for a long time. In the entire entertainment industry, the only person who can make me feel like this is Zhang Ye!"
"He's the biggest clown in the entertainment industry, and even the people and matters around him have become funny as well. Perhaps this is Zhang Ye's personal charm. In terms of looks, he can't compare to Huo Dongfang and the others. In terms of age, he's no longer a teen idol. In terms of figure, even Jiang Hanwei can beat him by several streets. But when it comes to being funny, even all the celebrities in the entertainment industry combined wouldn't be a match for him!"
"Congratulations to Zhang Ye for being promoted to the ancestor of plaza dancing!"
"Congratulations to Teacher Zhang for becoming the spiritual leader of the aunties!"
"Where's the applause?"
"Tossing the flowers!"
The netizens were all gloating and laughing like crazy!
With just a news interview, Zhang Ye's label as the "ancestor of plaza dancing" had been firmly established. Even the media was using this as a headline for the news.
…
The next day.
In the morning.
Zhang Ye had just gotten out of bed when he heard his mother playing "Small Apple" on the computer. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He pushed open the door and said, "Mom, hurry up and stop. Can you not play it?"
His mother smacked her lips. "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ye said, "I get dizzy whenever I listen to that song."
"Are you possessed?" His mother sneered.
Zhang Ye harrumphed, "Don't anyone mention plaza dancing to me in the future."
His father said, "They're already treating you as the ancestor."
"Whoa!" Zhang Ye felt like his tail had been stepped on. He said in surprise, "Don't mention that word again! Don't ever mention it again! I've got a disease that makes me tremble all over when I hear that word. Don't ever mention it in front of me again. Dad, Mom, I'm going to work now. Bye! "
But Zhang Ye could never have expected that when he got downstairs, he would be surrounded by his neighbors!
"Little Ye!"
"You're finally out!"
"We've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Quick, give us some pointers."
"Right, everyone's moves aren't the same."
"What's the standard move for 'Small Apple'?"
"Teach us the 'Hottest Ethnic Trend' too."
A group of aunties surrounded Zhang Ye tightly.
Standard moves?
How could there be any standard moves!
Zhang Ye said in shock, "Auntie Liu, Auntie Sun, Grandma Zhou, what are all of you doing? How could I know how to dance? What can I teach you? "
Auntie Sun said with a straight face, "You're the ancestor of this line of work. If you don't teach, who will?"
Auntie!
You're my mother!
Can you not mention the ancestor of this line of work?
Zhang Ye refused to do it no matter what. He just wanted to run out.
However, the aunties did not let him pass. All of them were staring at him with their hands on their hips.
"Little Ye, Auntie has to criticize you!"
"Little Ye, everyone's in a really good mood right now. We're going out to dance every day, and we're really happy about it. The times are different now. Everything is connected to the Internet, cell phones, computers, and so on. We don't know how to do them, so what spare time activities do we middle-aged and elderly people have? It's too lacking. Now that plaza dancing has finally been popularized, it's finally given us elderly people a chance to enjoy our spare time. This is a great thing. It's fine if others don't support it, but you're the founder and our spiritual leader, so how can you not support it? "
"That's right, Little Ye."
Who's the spiritual leader?
What kind of spiritual leader is that?
Zhang Ye raised his hands in surrender. "It's not that I don't support it. I'm very supportive. I'll support it with both my hands. I'm just a small-time host. At most, I can sing as an amateur. How could I possibly know how to dance!"
But everyone was having none of it.
"You've even flown a plane before!"
"You've even won the highest prize in mathematics!"
"When you play Go, even Xiang Rong is no match for you!"
"What don't you know?"
They were all talking back and forth.
Zhang Ye could not refute them!
His mother might have heard the commotion, but she also came downstairs happily.
Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These aunties were not just anyone but his old neighbors of several decades. Many of them had watched Zhang Ye grow up, and some of them had even cooked for him. Back when Zhang Ye was in elementary school, there were also aunties who went to school to pick him up when his parents had something to do. What did this have to do with him? They were not much different from relatives. No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Ye was, he couldn't just throw these old neighbors aside.
In the end, he was at his wit's end. "Alright, but I'll only teach you two songs once. I really have a lot of things to do at the television station, so I have to go now."
"No problem!"
"We're fast learners!"
The aunties were in high spirits!
But Zhang Ye had a dejected look on his face and looked listless.
If he really did not know how to do it, then so be it. He would definitely find a way to push the matter away. But the problem now was that Zhang Ye really knew how to do it. In his previous world, the General Administration of Sport had promoted 12 standard plaza dance moves. Zhang Ye had never learned them before, but he could not stop himself from watching them every day, day, and year after year. Just like "The Hottest Ethnic Trend" and "Small Apple," he could recite the dance moves of those two songs with his eyes closed. He did not even need to use a Memory Search Capsule!
Memory search?
Are you kidding me?
That would be the greatest insult to those who lived in his previous world!
The teaching began.
"The first move is this."
"Yes, very good."
"The second move is this."
"No, Auntie Sun is wrong."
"Auntie Zhang did it very well. Everyone, learn from Auntie Zhang."
"When you sing this line, remember to turn around."
"Aiya, Auntie Zhou, you're wrong again."
"Auntie Chen, you're wrong. You're far from it. Can you be more serious?"
"Yo, not bad this time. Auntie Chen, Auntie Zhou, you're worthy of praise!"
"Dance is the most beautiful thing in the world, so the movements must be relaxed. Right, imagine that you're surrounded by blue skies and white clouds. Imagine that you're all dancing in the clouds. Don't relax your movements just because it's plaza dance. That's the biggest mistake! Treat it as art. Who says that plaza dance can't be beautiful? The people's dances are the most beautiful! Only the actions of the people can be considered art! Right, that's the state. It's very good, it's all very good! "
His mother was also learning from him.
Zhang Ye was a very serious person in everything he did. Coupled with the fact that he was a university teacher, he ended up forgetting about the time as he taught. An hour had passed and he was still teaching the two sets of dance moves. He was getting more and more detailed and focused. When the others could not grasp the moves no matter how hard they tried, he would stare at them with a straight face. It was as if he had become a professional dance teacher!
Time passed very quickly.
They finally finished learning the two songs.
The aunties were all celebrating.
"That's great!"
"The moves taught by Little Ye are still the best!"
"Right, they're both reasonable and beautiful!"
"He's so professional!"
"That's right. Our Little Ye is the founder of the plaza dance industry!"
At this moment, Zhang Ye suddenly realized what was going on. After being stunned for a few seconds, he looked up into the sky and nearly burst into tears!
Oh my God!
What the fuck am I doing!?
