In the morning.
His phone kept ringing.
His mother called.
"Son."
"Yes."
"The results will be out at night?"
"It should be."
"How confident are you?"
"Sigh, who knows?"
"Don't you know how important this is!"
"It's useless to be anxious. I'm also waiting."
Zhang Xia's call:
"Little Zhang."
"Grandma Zhang."
"Come on, I'm waiting for you to reach the top."
"Aiyo, there's no sign of it yet."
"Even so, there's still a lot of hope. You're the closest person to the S-list in the entertainment industry in recent years. If even you can't make it, then there's even less hope for others."
"Sure, I'll be counting on your auspicious words."
"I'll wait for your good news."
Zhang Yuanqi's number:
"Old Zhang, what's up?"
"Can you do it?"
"Heh, how would I know?"
"Let's work harder. We should be able to make it."
"Let's see the results tonight."
"Yes."
His family and friends were very concerned.
If the Spring Festival Gala was a big event for many people, then this battle to reach the summit of the entertainment circle would be a big event for Zhang Ye himself. The results and results of the Spring Festival Gala were already out. Zhang Ye had given the entire nation a satisfactory answer sheet, and today's update of the Celebrity Rankings Index would be the time for Zhang Ye to reveal his answer sheet. He was also looking forward to it — reaching the summit of the domestic rankings was a goal that he had wanted to achieve since the first day he entered the entertainment circle!
It was right in front of him!
Only the last step was left!
Zhang Ye walked around the house for a long time. He went from the study to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the downstairs, and from the downstairs to the garden. He was thinking about what else he could do. However, he realized that there was nothing he could do. Activate the Lucky Halo? Even so, it was useless. His popularity score was already fixed. All he could do now was wait for the results.
…
The news spread.
This was no longer a secret.
News reports were all over the place. Everyone was paying attention to this battle to reach the top of the entertainment industry.
"It will be revealed at midnight tonight!"
"In the Battle of Ascension, Who Will Be the Final Winner?"
"Will the seven S-listers be replaced today?"
"Industry analysis: The outcome is hard to predict!"
Tonight, Anything Is Possible!
"The entertainment industry might really be welcoming a new Heavenly King!"
On Weibo …
"It's really coming!"
"This day has finally come!"
"Will it work?"
"I think it's a little dangerous."
"Yeah, those seven people haven't moved for too long."
"But the opponent is Zhang Ye. Hasn't he written enough miracles? During the Spring Festival Gala, everyone also felt that it was impossible to do well. But look at the result? Zhang Ye has really defied the heavens! "
"This is true ability."
"Although this fellow likes to scold and scam people, I've watched Zhang Ye grow step by step from a small-time radio host to where he is today. It's really too emotional. It really wasn't easy for him to get to where he is all these years. Every step he took had to be fought for. Let's see if he can reach the top today!"
"Lord Zhang, you can do it!"
"It's time for a change in the entertainment industry!"
"In the past few years since Zhang Ye debuted, he has indeed brought a lot of changes to the entertainment industry!"
"Yeah, every day I see Zhang Ye stirring up trouble, I feel happy. I don't know why my mood gets better. This person is really toxic. I like him!"
"I won't scold you today. I'll settle the score with the Five Blessings after you reach the summit. Good luck!"
"My saber is so, so, so, so, so, so, so hungry!"
…
The team of a certain Heavenly King.
The company was in chaos.
"Have you calculated it yet?"
"It's hard to calculate."
"Even if it's hard, we still have to calculate it. Let's see how much Zhang Ye is behind us in popularity!"
"The popularity of the Spring Festival Gala is too high. There's no way to calculate it!"
"Then we can roughly estimate it! We can't just wait like this! "
"Who could have thought that Zhang Ye would be able to make the Spring Festival Gala so beautiful? All of our previous rhythm has been disrupted!"
"What should we do? He can't really catch up, can he? "
"No, he can't. Before Zhang Ye's popularity was confirmed, he was still far behind us!"
"Right, no matter how popular the Spring Festival Gala is, it won't let Zhang Ye get into the S-list, right?"
"In any case, make all the necessary preparations!"
"Understood!"
…
At a certain Heavenly Queen's team.
"We won't be in danger, right?"
"Uh, it's hard to say."
"Yeah, Zhang Ye is too fierce!"
"No one can stop that fellow!"
"Let me do the math. We shouldn't have to worry about our Heavenly Queen Sis's popularity. Although the seven Heavenly Kings and Queens aren't too far apart in popularity, we're not at the back either."
"Yeah, the ones who should be worried are those two Heavenly Kings."
"Do you guys think — do you guys think Zhang Ye can really make it up?"
"Hai, who can say for sure? But with Zhang Ye's current popularity and status, he's really on par with the S-list celebrities. Let's just wait for the results."
…
At the entertainment company where a Heavenly King worked.
The company's headquarters had been in a state of emergency for the past two days.
"Arrange for another event!"
"It's too late!"
"Can we bring forward the screening of the movie in a few days?"
"That won't do. The SARFT has already set a date for it."
"Dammit, who was the one who said that Zhang Ye couldn't possibly catch up? Who said that the battle to reach the summit has ended early? Zhang Ye's popularity is still to be confirmed. Who knows what position he'll reach after the update? Our company only has one Heavenly King to hold the fort. That's why we can maintain our foothold in the entertainment circle. If we lose our position as the Heavenly King, everyone will be in trouble! Hurry up, get moving. Think of a way to pull in more popularity! "
"Yes!"
"Director Zhou, I have an idea!"
"What is it? Tell us! "
"Let's pull some underhanded tricks on Zhang Ye and make him —"
"Get lost!"
"Ah, Director Zhou?"
"Are you f * cking retarded or what? Pull some underhanded tricks on Zhang Ye? Don't you fucking know who Zhang Ye's wife is? Can't you just die? Do you think the company isn't messed up enough? Do you think the industry's boycott wasn't enough of a slap in the face? Old Hong, Old Hong! How did you manage to recruit someone like this! Now, immediately, get him to get lost. I don't want to see this idiot in the company from this afternoon onwards! "
"Understood!"
…
The industry was in chaos!
The entertainment circle was in chaos!
The teams of the Heavenly Kings and Queens were on high alert!
Many of the industry's big shots could no longer sit still!
If it were someone else, they would still have some tricks up their sleeves. The entertainment circle's waters were very deep, and the tricks were very insidious. Fake news, rumors, sabotage, backstabbing, and so on. In the past, many of the celebrity rankings battles that took place in key positions were always filled with swords and knives. The celebrity teams and entertainment companies would always come up with endless "venomous schemes." Palace dramas came one after another, leaving everyone dazzled and dumbfounded. Why was it that the best domestic TV dramas were mostly palace dramas? Because there was no need to learn them. All they had to do was act as themselves! But this time, they couldn't do it. They could use it on anyone in the entire entertainment circle, except Zhang Ye!
His wife was a leader of the SARFT!
His wife was Wu Zeqing!
Sabotage him? Sabotage him?
Were they tired of living?!
So against Zhang Ye, they could only compete fairly!
A storm was brewing!
The wind was blowing!
Many of the industry's celebrities were anxiously watching this most thrilling drama in the entertainment circle in the past decade. The world was about to change. It was really about to change this time!
…
At night.
It was getting closer and closer to midnight.
The outside world was in an uproar. No one was sleeping well.
The attacks from the Heavenly Kings and Queens' fans were getting more and more intense as they pointed their spears at Zhang Ye.
Arguments!
Doubts!
Attacks!
It was very unsettling.
However, at the home of the person in question, it was all quiet. It was as though nothing had happened and it was just a normal night.
In the villa's garden.
Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing were admiring the moon.
"Little Ye, are you cold?"
"No, how about you?"
"Hur hur, I'm not cold either."
"I was thinking that I would have a good rest after the new year and spend more time with you. But from the looks of it, no matter what the outcome is, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest after today."
"It's pretty good to do what you want to do."
"Haha, I'm just a little tired."
"I think you're enjoying it."
"This bro's happiest thing is marrying such a beautiful wife. Even if I don't get to the summit today, I have no regrets."
"It's midnight."
"Are we there already?"
"We just arrived."
"Alright, let me have a look."
"Have you reached the top?"
"… Yes, we've reached the top."
"That's pretty good."
"Mhm."
The Chinese Celebrity Rankings Index was updated. Zhang Ye's name had shockingly appeared in the S-list!
At 12: 00 PM on the fourth day of the new year.
Zhang Ye had reached the summit of the Chinese entertainment circle!
