On the day of the wedding.
In the morning, in the suburbs of Beijing.
At the hot spring resort hotel.
Today was the day of Zhang Ye's wedding. All of the major media outlets in the country had sent their people over. Before it was even time to enter the venue, over a hundred reporters were already lining up in a long line, waiting to get a good spot in the venue. The reporters' cars were all parked, and the media could be seen everywhere. Several television stations were even broadcasting the event live.
Soon after, it was almost time.
The reporters entered the venue one by one with their invitations.
"Hey, don't push!"
"Aiyo, slow down!"
"Who stepped on me?"
"Motherfucker, are you rushing to reincarnate!"
"Aren't you running away too!"
"It's none of your business that I'm running away!"
When the doors opened, a large group of reporters swarmed in. None of them walked, but ran instead. They headed straight for the open-air garden of the hot spring hotel, where the reception venue would be! The invitations sent by Zhang Ye's Studio to the media were different from the ones sent out by others. There were even some details written on them, such as the time before which the media would send their staff to arrive, the activity area, and the items they were not allowed to bring in, etc. It was stated very clearly that at the reception venue, everyone could freely take photos in the activity area. But for the official Chinese-style wedding ceremony later on, the reporters were not allowed to enter that area. In other words, the first reception area was just a show to show off to the outside world and give an explanation to the media. The official wedding ceremony was not to be seen by the reporters and could only be witnessed by the relatives and friends of the bride and groom.
In the open-air garden.
Many of the reporters were dumbfounded when they arrived!
"Ah?"
"What the heck!"
"W-Why are there so many advertisements here?"
"This is a trade fair!"
"How are we supposed to avoid the cameras!"
"Pfft!"
"That joker Zhang Ye!"
"Only he can come up with something like this!"
"That's right! This fellow can always come up with something that no one can imagine! "
"This is so infuriating. Isn't he clearly telling us that if we want to get first-hand news of his wedding, we have to advertise his endorsement as well? There are so many advertisements here that we can't avoid them even if we just take a photo or a video. But since it's the official wedding ceremony, shouldn't you at least let us in? Are you only asking us to work and not eat? Your sister, this is the first time I've seen such a wicked celebrity! He's really pushing the media to their limits! Zhang Ye rarely accepts interviews, so I was wondering why he was being so generous this time! "
"Is this the only day or two this guy is immoral?"
"You're still too young to understand Zhang Ye. Hur hur, when you get to know him better, you'll know that there are only things that you can't think of, but nothing that he can't do. This fellow is a unique oddity in the entertainment industry. Everything he does is different from others, so if you use common sense to measure him, you'll lose!"
"Alright, let's hurry up and grab a spot. Even if he sticks an advertisement on our camera cover, we still have to film it. Otherwise, how are we going to answer to the station when we get back?"
"Yes, yes, they should be here soon!"
From this moment on, the wedding ceremony had officially begun.
The reporters inside would be guided by the people from Zhang Ye's Studio, while Wu Zeqing's secretary, Bai Li, was in charge of the first round of welcoming the guests. This round was very important. Many candidates had been considered, but all of them were rejected in the end. After much consideration, Secretary Bai was still the most suitable candidate. She knew everyone in the entertainment industry and had interacted with them before. She was also familiar with the people from the SARFT, so she had a basic understanding of Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing's family, friends, and colleagues.
Outside.
At the entrance.
Secretary Bai held the fort.
Chen Guang arrived with his wife, Fan Wenli.
Fan Wenli smiled and said, "You must be Secretary Bai?"
They had long heard of Secretary Bai's name. It was not only because Bai Li was Wu Zeqing's secretary, but also because Bai Li had quite a strong background. Her father was the head of a certain provincial television station.
Secretary Bai smiled. "Teacher Chen, Teacher Fan, you're here? Please come in, there's someone inside to receive you. "
When they arrived, Chen Guang said in a low voice, "Let's not joke around today."
Fan Wenli smiled and said, "I know."
Chen Guang said regretfully, "I used to think that if Zhang Ye were to get married, we would definitely kick up a fuss and have some fun. But now that this fellow has married Chief Wu, what's there to kick up a fuss about!"
Fan Wenli laughed, "Pfft."
Another group of about a dozen people arrived from the opposite side.
The Dean of Peking University's School of Mathematical Sciences, Pan Yang, was walking at the front.
Peking University's Chinese Department's Dean, Chang Kaige, was beside him, along with Su Na and the others from the Chinese Department.
Secretary Bai went up to them with a smile. "You must be friends from Peking University, right? Welcome, welcome. Quick, please come in. "
Pan Yang said in surprise, "Secretary Bai knows us?"
Secretary Bai smiled and said, "Of course. Since you're Teacher Zhang's colleagues and friends, you're also Chief Wu's family."
That was true. Wu Zeqing used to be the president of Peking University, so it wasn't wrong to say that they were her family.
The three of them walked in.
Pan Yang smiled and said, "This is quite a grand occasion."
Chang Kaige said in amusement, "Of course. What kind of status does the bride have?"
Su Na praised, "Professor Zhang is really impressive this time!"
Professor Zeng said, "How is it just impressive? He's going to ascend to the Heavens! "
Suddenly, two people appeared in front of them.
Secretary Bai narrowed her eyes and held out her hand to stop them. "Please show me your invitation."
The two of them had wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, but ended up looking embarrassed.
The man smiled sheepishly and said, "Secretary Bai, I'm Old Sun."
Secretary Bai looked at him. "Oh, Director Sun."
These two people were the vice president and wife of one of the companies that had initiated the industry-wide boycott, Xiangtian Records. They were even holding a gift in their hands, but no one knew what it was.
Director Sun hurriedly said, "We're here to congratulate Chief Wu and Teacher Zhang on their big wedding. This is a small gift to show our respect, we —"
But Secretary Bai said, "Please take the gift back. We won't accept any monetary gifts."
Director Sun's hand froze in midair. "Alright, I'll take the gift back. Then we —"
The two of them were about to shamelessly walk in when Secretary Bai put out her hand to stop them. "Please leave as well."
The two of them had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
Then another person from an entertainment company came in.
"Secretary Bai."
"Please leave."
"About Chief Wu —"
"Please leave."
Secretary Bai stopped them again. Without an invitation, they were not allowed to take a single step in.
They all knew who Secretary Bai was and knew her background, so no one dared to fall out with her. In the end, all of them left with bitter smiles on their faces. They had wanted to use the wedding to ease the tension between them and express their company's stance on this matter. But who could have expected that they would run into a snag before they even got in? However, they did not have any temper at all. They didn't even have any thoughts of getting angry. There was nothing they could do about it. Who asked them to be so adamant about the industry-wide boycott two days ago? The crux of the matter was that they were not in the right. They were used to being unreasonable and arrogant, so when they saw an artist who dared to go against the capitalists, they immediately responded to Zhao Chipeng's call and came up with the industry-wide boycott. But never could they have expected that they would encounter someone who was even more unreasonable than them this time. They were completely screwed over!
So how could they still dare to get angry?
The bride's people were already giving them face by not kicking them out!
Quite a few reporters and people from the entertainment industry saw this. Everyone looked at each other and pretended not to have seen it, but they were all gasping in their hearts.
Director Sun?
Boss Qi?
Director Chi?
Director Jia?
Which one of them wasn't a famous figure in the entertainment industry?
Which one of them wasn't an influential figure in the entertainment industry?
But in the end? This group of people did not even let them in?
If this were to happen at any other celebrity's wedding, it would be unimaginable. If they could attend, it would mean that they were showing their support and giving them face. Even if they did not have an invitation, they couldn't possibly chase them away. But everyone understood that Zhang Ye's wedding was different. This was not just any ordinary celebrity's wedding!
It wasn't that the groom was extraordinary!
It was just that the bride's background was too impressive!
Some observant people even noticed that the flower baskets at the entrance were piling up more and more. When some people first arrived and saw the sea of flower baskets, they were dumbfounded. This was because the two rows of flower baskets stretched for more than 300 meters. Eventually, they could no longer fit in the baskets and could only be stacked at the back. This could already be called a sea of flowers. Anyone who saw it would be shocked!
More than 3,000 flower baskets!
Who had ever seen such a scene before?
Who the fuck hadn't seen it before!
Looking at the names again, they were all familiar faces!
Tang Dazhang!
Li Yu!
Jiang Hanwei!
Zhang Yuanqi!
Dong Shanshan!
Zhang Xia!
Tianfang Entertainment!
Purple Light Entertainment!
XX Entertainment!
XX Media!
XX Records!
Honestly speaking, Zhang Ye did not invite that many guests to his wedding this time. Any other C- or C-list celebrity's wedding would not have invited so few people. This was because when one reached the B-list rankings, they would have a very wide network and would have at least 50 celebrity friends that they were familiar with or had worked with before. But Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing were a little different. Due to Old Wu's status, she did not have many friends or colleagues. Zhang Ye had offended too many people due to his temper, so he had even fewer friends than Wu Zeqing. As a result, the number of guests invited to their wedding was not that high.
But the number of flower baskets they received was several times or even dozens of times more than any other celebrity's wedding!
Eight or nine years ago, when an A-list celebrity got married, a quarter of the entertainment industry was invited to his wedding. That was already quite a spectacle and shocked the media and the public!
But today!
Zhang Ye's big wedding!
He received flower baskets from the entire entertainment industry!
Such a spectacular scene had never been seen before and would never be seen again!
