Morning.
At home.
She was still sleeping when the bedroom door opened.
"Little Ye!"
"Mom, what's up?"
"Wake up."
"What time is it? Where's Old Wu?"
"Your wife went to work early. Get up quickly, the news about you is on TV!"
"Hai, I'm always on the news. I'm sick of it."
"It's about the Asian Star Rating. You've risen again!"
"Ah? It couldn't be, right? Didn't Japan and Korea restrict me? "
"See for yourself!"
"Okay, let me see."
Hearing that, Zhang Ye perked up a little. He yawned and sat up in bed. He picked up his cell phone and browsed through it. When he saw his ranking on the Asian Celebrity Rankings Index, he was immediately overjoyed. His ranking had really risen? He glanced at the Internet and saw that everyone was talking about this.
On Weibo …
"The Japanese and Koreans are probably dumbfounded by now!"
"Hahahaha, of course!"
"I study Korean and just went to have a look. The people and media in Japan and Korea are all scolding Zhang Ye!"
"That's true. How could there be such a weird celebrity in their country!"
"That's right. Our country has only produced a wonder like Zhang Ye!"
"Even this can't seal Face-smacking Zhang?"
"The restriction order is completely meaningless!"
"Is he really going to rely on fighting and scolding to reach the top of Asia?"
"Pfft, that's going to be fun!"
After reading it, Zhang Ye smiled. It looked like this was the right path. Back in China, didn't he also scold and fight his way up? They fought with each other in this industry and scolded each other in that industry. They fought all the way and became braver with every setback. That was how they reached the top of the domestic entertainment industry. So this model can also be replicated at the Asian level? So it can be done on an Asian level as well!
If he had met with a setback every time he fought, Zhang Ye's temper would have long been curbed.
But with every hit, his popularity increased. Woah, with every hit, his popularity increased again!
He was famous again!
He vented his anger again!
Everything went according to his wishes!
Heh, then why didn't he fight?
So how do you train to be a hooligan?
This was how it was refined!
Not long after, his friend's call also came.
It was Heavenly Queen Xu Meilan.
"Teacher Zhang."
"Sister Lan."
"Congratulations, you're now in the middle of the Asian A-list."
"Hai, you've already reached the summit of Asia. How can I compare to you?"
"It's useless even if I reach the top. I don't even have a name on the international celebrity rankings. I'm only famous domestically and in Asia."
"You're already setting your sights on the world. I'll focus on Asia first."
"Anyway, congratulations. You're the only one who can fight so brilliantly and sing along the way."
"Haha, I don't have any other skills, but I have a lot of experience in fighting and scolding people. I can't help it, it's all because I've been in the same line for so many years."
"Oh right."
"What happened?"
"Well —"
"Ah?"
"Forget it, it's fine."
Is something the matter?
If you have something to say, just say it!
Seeing that she did not say anything, Zhang Ye did not probe further.
At this time, his mother also received a call in the living room.
When Zhang Ye was done, his mother said, "Little Ye, your wife just called. She said that she left some documents at home. Go look for them and send them to her."
Zhang Ye asked, "Where is it?"
His mother said, "Zeqing said that it's on the bedside table."
Zhang Ye went back into his room to look for it. "Alright, I found it."
His father urged, "Hurry up and go. Zeqing probably needs it urgently."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "That's new. I've always been the one forgetting things. Old Wu has never forgotten things. Alright, I'll bring it to her."
He drove off to the SARFT.
…
Later that morning.
Outside the SARFT compound.
Zhang Ye did not drive in as it would be too conspicuous. Every time he came here, he would park his car outside and walk in after turning a corner. But today, when he walked to the compound's entrance, he saw a somewhat familiar-looking woman. It seemed like she often went in and out with Xu Meilan. He could always see her on television. Oh, right, he remembered now. She was one of the managers of Xu Meilan's company. She was probably in charge of the external affairs of the Heavenly Queen's company.
Yang Xue said, "Chief Chen, this is really urgent."
"I can't make the decision on this."
Yang Xue: "Can I see Director Xu?"
"Director Xu is very busy. He has meetings all day today."
Yang Xue: "But our movie is now —"
"The approval process won't be that fast. It has to go through the normal procedures. As for how long it will take, I can't guarantee you that. It's not up to me."
Yang Xue said, "Brother Chen, just let me in."
"This is the SARFT's headquarters' office. We don't handle any business here, and you don't have an appointment either. Outsiders are not allowed in, so go back and wait for the news."
Yang Xue: "But —"
At this moment, Zhang Ye strolled over.
When Chief Chen saw him, he was very happy. "Boss Zhang, you're here?"
When Yang Xue saw Zhang Ye, she was also taken aback.
Zhang Ye smiled. "Yeah, I'm here to deliver something to Old Wu."
Chief Chen said, "Chief Wu should be in a meeting right now."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go to her office and wait then." Then without warning, he pointed at Yang Xue and said, "I'm bringing her in."
Chief Chen said nervously, "This —"
Zhang Ye said to Yang Xue, "Let's go."
Yang Xue was overjoyed. She carefully looked at Chief Chen. "Brother Chen?"
Chief Chen gave a wry smile. If Zhang Ye wanted to bring someone in, who would dare to stop him?
As such, Yang Xue followed Zhang Ye into the SARFT compound. To be honest, she had seen this compound many times before, but this was the first time she had actually walked in.
Yang Xue said gratefully, "Teacher Zhang, thank you so much!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "Sister Lan's people, right?"
Yang Xue hurriedly said, "Yes."
Zhang Ye did not ask any further. "Who are we going in to look for?"
Yang Xue immediately said, "It's Director Xu."
"Alright, got it." Zhang Ye nodded.
Director Xu? Then it had to do with the movie.
He finally understood the meaning behind Xu Meilan's phone call.
A person walked over from the opposite side.
"Yo, Director Zhang!"
"Old He."
"Would you like a drink at noon?"
"Alright, I'm going to deliver something to Old Wu. I still have a lot of things to do when I get back."
"I haven't seen you since the Spring Festival Gala. Let's get together when we get back. Let's invite those from the Spring Festival Gala's organizing committee."
"Sure, no problem."
On the other side, another person saw him.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhang."
"Hey, Chief Liu, why have you put on weight recently?"
"Haha, I've been eating, I've been eating. Why? I heard that your popularity has increased again?"
"That's all. Oh yes, which door is Old Xu's office?"
"Go up to the second floor and turn left. It's the second office."
"OK."
Along the way, they greeted Zhang Ye whenever they saw him.
When they reached the second floor, Zhang Ye turned left and knocked on the door of an office.
Director Xu looked up. "Eh, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You just had breakfast?"
Director Xu put down the disposable chopsticks. "Hai, aren't I late?"
Zhang Ye smiled and pointed at Yang Xue, who was behind him, and said, "Someone is looking for you. I saw her standing outside, so I brought her in. How big of a deal is it? Hurry up and do it for her."
Director Xu smiled and said, "Since you, Mr. Zhang, say so, of course I'll do it."
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, then I won't bother with it anymore."
Without saying another word, Zhang Ye left Yang Xue behind and went upstairs by himself.
From the beginning to the end, Yang Xue did not say a word. Or rather, from the moment she stepped through the SARFT's main entrance, she did not dare to say a word. Along the way, she just stared blankly at Zhang Ye chatting with others. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have had such a strong feeling. She was so envious!
This was the SARFT they were talking about!
The SARFT that controlled the life and death of the entertainment industry!
Yang Xue was filled with emotions. At this moment, she only had one thought:
Too awesome!
It was simply too awesome!
In the entire entertainment industry, in the entire celebrity circle, who could do what Zhang Ye did? Who could do what Zhang Ye did? He swaggered through the SARFT like it was his own home. Among all the celebrities in the country, only Zhang Ye could do that. There was no one else like him!
This was what it meant to be awesome!
