Noon.
Beijing Television Station's News Channel broadcasted a piece of news.
"Next, let's take a look at a news flash. It's a thrilling scene recorded by our reporter from the People's Hospital this morning. Back then, a terminally ill girl stood on the roof of the hospital, wanting to commit suicide. Her family and the police tried to dissuade her, but to no avail. Just as she was about to jump down, my Beijing Television Station colleague, Teacher Zhang Ye, who happened to be at the scene, came forward. He used a poem to save her life!"
Zhang Ye's figure appeared on the screen.
He was surrounded by people. It was the scene at the hospital.
"When the spider's web mercilessly sealed my stove …"
"When the ashes sigh the sorrow of poverty …"
"I still stubbornly spread the ashes of disappointment, using the beautiful snowflakes to write: I believe in the future."
Finally, the scene changed. The girl was squatting on the roof, wailing. She was saved by the police who arrived in time.
Jumping back into the studio, the news anchor said, "According to our station's reporter's understanding of the situation from the hospital, Yang Lian is a fan of Teacher Zhang Ye. Her parents say that she has always liked Zhang Ye's works. She can recite every poem fluently. Now, Yang Lian's surgery fees have been settled. Zhang Ye has borne all of it. Speaking of this, I can't help but say, in this world … there are still many good people."
Once this news was broadcasted, Weibo, the Beijing area's forums and Tieba were all abuzz with discussion!
"So awesome?"
"Teacher Zhang Ye came out with a new work again? He saved people again? "
"It's too godly. In such a tense atmosphere and scene, someone can actually create such a great modern poem without a draft?"
"'In the Future We Believe' is written too well!"
"Why are all Zhang Ye's poems so good? Is he on stimulants? "
"He bore all of the fan's medical fees? This character, this character, it's really indescribable! "
"I heard people in the industry say that Zhang Ye's reputation is not good. How can a person who goes to such lengths for his fans be a bad person?"
A Weibo verified person, who was a vice president of a company, commented: "It's not that Zhang Ye's reputation isn't good, it's just that his character is too good. He dares to speak the truth, which is why he has offended so many people. To be honest, when I saw this news, the first feeling I had was disbelief. The second feeling was that I was touched. I have never encouraged fans of celebrities. I feel that it's meaningless. But today, my attitude is not so firm. Perhaps being a fan of Teacher Zhang Ye is a very blissful thing. "
At this moment, a Weibo verified account posted. From his identity, he was a famous person in Beijing's economic circle, or perhaps an elite. "In the past, I happened to listen to the Beijing Radio Station's Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet's live broadcast. I remember that after Zhang Ye won the award, he said a speech: 'Comparing literature and science is indeed useless. But perhaps the greatest use of literature is that it has no use. 'I don't know why, but these words have always been very difficult for me to understand, but they have always been running around in my mind. Today, I think I understand a little of what Zhang Ye said. "
"Well said!"
"I've decided. From today onwards, I will be Teacher Zhang's fan!"
"Me too. Where is the place for Zhang Ye's fan club? I want to join! "
"Count me in. What Teacher Zhang Ye did today was too beautiful!"
… …
Tieba.
Zhang Ye's nest.
The fan club's headquarters was even more chaotic than the discussions on the internet!
"Number1 nearly committed suicide? How did that happen? "
"She didn't have enough money. Number1 did not want to implicate her parents!"
"If you don't have enough, tell us. Everyone can donate! She's really silly! "
"She wants to be strong and does not want to cause trouble for others. Thankfully, thankfully, Teacher Zhang Ye rushed over in time. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Teacher Zhang is too awesome! I love him to death! "
"That's right. Teacher Zhang descended from the heavens today! It was too timely! "
"Number1's medical fees were all paid by Teacher Zhang Ye? Does Teacher Zhang have that much money? He just started working, so he shouldn't be rich, right? "
"Do you think Teacher Zhang is like others? With the publication of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light', how many sales are there now? Teacher Zhang is much richer than the average person!"
"That's right. Teacher Zhang is rich!"
"Then I can rest assured. Hai, we really did not follow the wrong person!"
"Of course. Teacher Zhang is completely different from the average people in the entertainment industry!"
"In the future, if anyone dares to say bad things about Teacher Zhang Ye, I will be the first to fight them!"
"Right, a celebrity can do so much for us little fans. Who else in the world can do that? In the future, whoever goes against Zhang Ye will be going against me! "
"That's right. I'll support Zhang Ye for life!"
"Lifetime support + 1666!"
… …
At the same time.
On the other side. Beijing Television Station.
Zhang Ye had just parked his car in the public parking lot when his little sister, Cao Mengmeng, called.
The moment the call went through, the little girl started chattering on the other end, "Bro! I saw the news! You're too awesome! You're too handsome! I'm super handsome, aren't I?
Zhang Ye said, "What's handsome about it!"
Cao Mengmeng said, "That poem made my blood boil!"
Zhang Ye could not help but laugh, "Come on, I was covered in cold sweat back then. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have things to do. I'm hanging up."
He entered the television station.
Quite a number of people were looking at him. Some even greeted him. Clearly, they knew about the news.
"Teacher Zhang."
"Teacher Little Zhang, you're back?"
"You've worked hard today, Niu."
In the past, Zhang Ye was a jinx in the television station. Many people avoided him. Even if they did not deliberately avoid him, they would rarely speak to him unless they had no other choice. This was because everyone knew of Zhang Ye's past misdeeds. He was someone who dared to scold anyone when he was angry. But after today's incident, Zhang Ye immediately won the respect of many people. Those who had never greeted him previously had people greeting him with a smile today. Of course, there was definitely a reason why "Lecture Room" was growing in popularity.
Zhang Ye dealt with them for a while before going upstairs to his office.
Hu Fei and company were all there, "Yo, Little Zhang, we were just talking about the news. We were just about to give you a call."
Xiao Lu giggled, "Teacher Zhang is indeed Teacher Zhang. Just resting at home for a day and he can appear on TV and the news. He's famous again!"
Dafei asked, "Oh right, why did you come to the unit? Haven't many episodes of the program been recorded? There are no other recording tasks today. "
Zhang Ye hesitated, "I'm here to raise money. Do any of you have a million? Can you lend it to me first? I need it tonight. I'll sell the car later and return it. "
Hou Ge exclaimed, "A million?"
Hou Di said, "It's that girl's medical fees, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Ye said, "I have a few tens of thousands here. It's not enough. I can't sell my car anytime soon, so I want to borrow it first. I don't want to delay Yang Lian's surgery."
Hu Fei said, "Your car definitely won't sell. That's a bulletproof car. Most people can't use it, and it's not very practical. Not many people will buy it. Even if they want to buy it and have the ability to buy it, they won't lack that bit of money. They probably won't buy a second-hand car. Even if you have just driven it for a few days, it will be very difficult to sell it. As for me, I have about a hundred thousand in savings. If you need it urgently, you can take it first, but it's still not enough."
Xiao Lu touched her wallet and did some calculations, "I can take out 10,000."
Hou Ge said dumbfounded, "Teacher Zhang, do you not have any spare money? Then why did you agree to cover all the treatment fees? You're too loyal! "
Dafei also disagreed, "That's right. We can't do it. If you want to help others, you …"
Zhang Ye waved his hands, "She helped me when I was in trouble. Now it's my turn. Even if I have to sell everything I have, I will treat her illness!"
"In that case!" Hu Fei thought of an idea, "Yesterday, the Director had a discussion with me. It's about the copyright of your 'Zhang Ye's Analysis of the Three Kingdoms'. As there are other local television stations that want to broadcast it, and the station wants to strike while the iron is hot. They want to release a few DVDs before your program finishes broadcasting. Instead of letting the free video websites benefit, why don't we sell it ourselves? The copyright belongs to you. It looks like the station wants to buy it from you first. I had wanted to discuss it with you next week, but since you are in urgent need of money, this is the only way."
Zhang Ye said without thinking, "Alright, I'll sell it."
Hu Fei said, "Alright, then follow me to the Director's side."
… …
Wang Shuixin's office.
Hu Fei told him everything that had happened.
Wang Shuixin nodded, "Alright, then let's talk about the price?"
Zhang Ye did not ask for much. He knew the value of the "Analysis of the Three Kingdoms" DVD. Even if the sales were not good, it would definitely not be bad. Hence, he quoted, "1.1 million will do." It was exactly the price for Yang Lian's treatment.
However, Wang Shuixin frowned, "Little Zhang, you are demanding an exorbitant price. You are an employee of our station. The reason why you have your current results and ratings is because of the station's recommendation. Without our Arts Channel's publicity, would your 'Analysis of the Three Kingdoms' have today's heated discussions and achievements? The moment the copyright is mentioned, you are asking for more than a million. Isn't that a little too much? I think it's too much even if it's half! "
Zhang Ye was unhappy, "Director Wang, I didn't ask for much, did I? If I had discussed it directly with the partners, someone would have bought it even if I asked for 1.5 million! "
Wang Shuixin stared at him, "You still want to skip the station and sell the copyright yourself?"
Hu Fei pulled Zhang Ye and immediately tried to smooth things over, "Director, you must have seen the news just now, right? Little Zhang is doing it for a patient who is in urgent need of surgery. The surgery fee happens to be 1.1 million. He doesn't have any money on hand, so he wants to quickly raise the medical fees to treat the young lady. "
Wang Shuixin waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with the unit. I can't harm the unit's interests just because you, Little Zhang, have agreed to donate money to do some charity work. It will go against my principles!" He thought for a moment, "600,000. At most 600,000!"
Hu Fei's face turned black, "Director, that's too little!"
Wang Shuixin probably knew that Zhang Ye was in urgent need of money, so he took advantage of the situation, "Our unit is not a charity organization. We can only give so much. Well, unless Little Zhang sells the permanent contract for the broadcasting rights to the station. It just so happens that a few local television stations have been discussing with us recently. That way, we can give a little more. A million. 1.1 million is absolutely impossible!"
Hu Fei argued, "I'm just short of 100,000. You …"
Wang Shuixin shook his head, "Not a single cent more. This is a principle."
Zhang Ye gritted his teeth, "Alright, a million it is then. I'll sell them all, but I have a request. I want the money today. They're still waiting for the surgery!"
Wang Shuixin put on airs and said, "I can't guarantee that. I have to communicate with the finance department. Let's draft the contract first. We'll talk after the contract is done."
He had originally thought that the DVD sales would be enough to get him 1.1 million, but who knew that he would have to add in the permanent copyright fees for the broadcasting rights. Furthermore, it was only 1 million in the end. He was still short of 100,000 to cover the surgery fees. Even though Zhang Ye had said so and said that it was urgent to save the patient, he still could not guarantee that he would be able to transfer the money over today. Wang Shuixin's act of looting a burning house made Hu Fei's heart turn cold, let alone Zhang Ye. Hu Fei never expected Wang Shuixin to be such a person with such a character.
Back at the office.
Xiao Lu came up and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Zhang Ye calculated, "I still have a few tens of thousands on me. Adding that million, I'm still short of forty to fifty thousand. Everyone, can you lend me some first? I'll return it after my salary is paid. If this month's salary isn't enough, I'll pay it in installments." He did not have a credit card, so he could only do this for now.
Dafei said in surprise, "A million? That's impossible. I heard that the external partners gave you a copyright evaluation. Ignoring the television station's share, you, as an original author, have at least 1.3 to 1.4 million in copyright fees. "
Hu Fei said, "That's two copyrights. The broadcasting rights have also been sold!"
"They've all been sold? They've all been sold for only a million? Teacher Zhang, are you dumb!? "Hou Ge could not bear listening any further," This isn't a small amount of money. How can it be sold so cheaply!? "
Zhang Ye said calmly, "Is a life more important than money? Saving the patient is more important. I can't care so much! "
Xiao Lu could not help but curse, "That Wang Shuixin! He's too wicked! "
Dafei also said angrily, "He even scammed the surgery fees for saving a life? Does he even have a conscience? Isn't he afraid of going to hell after he dies!? "
Hu Fei immediately opened his online banking, "Little Zhang, tell me your account number. There's no need to say anymore. I'll fork out the remaining 50,000. There's no need for you to return it. Just treat it as a donation."
Zhang Ye flatly said, "I don't want it. They are my fans, so it's my business. I can't take your money. I'll treat it as you lending it to me. I'll slowly return it."
In the afternoon, Zhang Ye signed the contract.
Wang Shuixin did not guarantee when the money would arrive, so Zhang Ye went to Finance to press for it. He pressed for it five or six times.
Finance was still reasonable. They knew that Zhang Ye was in a rush for money to save a life, so they made an exception.
Zhang Ye finally managed to gather 1.1 million before he knocked off work. Without another word, he immediately went to the hospital to settle Yang Lian's surgery fees!
