On the same day.
In the afternoon.
At a shady spot on the beach.
Zhang Ye and Tian Weiwei were playing a game of Go. A group of newcomers from China Qiyuan surrounded them and stared at them. Zhang Ye had given Little Tian a handicap of two stones, but he was still able to play evenly with him. The group of newcomers was dumbfounded and gasped. Master Tian was the number one Go player in the world. He was the most skilled Go player in the world. Who had ever seen Tian Weiwei play a game where he was given a handicap? And he even gave him a handicap of two stones? And to such an extent? Only now did they realize just how good Zhang Ye's Go skills were!
The game was over.
After the match, Zhang Ye won by two and a half points.
Tian Weiwei was convinced. "I couldn't beat you in the past. I was thinking that I'd improved a lot in the past few years and that I could still play against you when you came out. But it looks like I was thinking too much. At your level, I won't be able to beat you no matter how many years pass. We're not even on the same level."
Chen Qiqi shouted, "Lord Zhang is mighty! You're still as good as ever!"
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "Didn't you say that I was a has-been?"
Chen Qiqi played dumb. "Ah? Did I say that? "
A newcomer exposed her. "You said that before."
Chen Niannian added, "I said it on the way here."
Chen Qiqi raised her hand and hit them. "Do you all want to die!"
Everyone laughed, "Hahahaha."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "But you're right. The Go world is different from the entertainment industry. This bro hasn't shown his face in so many years, so how many people still remember me? How many people still like me? I don't even know. The entertainment industry isn't as simple as the Go world. "
Tian Weiwei lamented, "Too much has changed in the past few years."
Zhang Ye asked, "How's Old Yao doing?"
Chen Qiqi said, "Are you talking about Yao Jiancai?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yeah."
Chen Qiqi said, "I don't think there's any news about him."
Chen Niannian said, "Why isn't there any news about him? He's still acting, but it seems like he's been acting as the villain these few years. There aren't any particularly famous movies, so his popularity has dropped a lot. "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That fellow, he's not doing crosstalk anymore?"
Tian Weiwei said, "Without you as a partner, Teacher Yao can't do it either."
Zhang Ye asked again, "Is Shanshan doing well?"
Tian Weiwei: "Your old classmate?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes."
Tian Weiwei said, "Teacher Shanshan is still very popular. After that, she went back to studying acting for two years. Now, she rarely hosts programs and spends most of her time filming."
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Oh, you've started filming?"
Chen Qiqi giggled and said, "Teacher Shanshan's pay is very high. Most people wouldn't be able to invite her."
Tian Weiwei said, "But compared to the most popular fresh meat, the pay is still far from it."
Chen Niannian said, "Of course."
Zhang Ye said, "Has Old Zhang really retired?"
Tian Weiwei said, "Yeah, I've retired from showbiz."
Zhang Ye said, "Where's Sister Lan?"
Tian Weiwei asked, "Heavenly Queen Xu Meilan?"
Zhang Ye said, "Is she still the Heavenly Queen?"
Tian Weiwei said, "She's still there, but she's barely holding on because of her seniority. The popularity of the male idols is still a huge blow to the celebrities of your generation. Heavenly Queen Xu's popularity has also dropped quite a bit in recent years. If this goes on, she might not be able to keep her spot on the domestic S-list anymore."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Even Old Xu can't hold on any longer?"
Tian Weiwei gave a wry smile. "The veteran celebrities of the past have all been affected. Do you still remember Jiang Hanwei? He was a martial arts superstar back then, an A-list big shot. I heard that he had a few conflicts with you? Jiang Hanwei's current domestic popularity ranking is only at the C-list. After that scandal was exposed, his popularity plummeted. "
Zhang Ye asked again, "What about Spring Garden?"
A teenage girl blinked and said, "Which one is Spring Garden?"
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "You don't know about the group Spring Garden?"
Tian Weiwei said, "She's still young, so I didn't pay much attention to them at that time. I haven't heard of Spring Garden in a very long time. They disbanded a few years ago."
Zhang Ye said nervously, "They disbanded?"
Tian Weiwei scratched his head. "I think it was because of a contract issue with the talent agency. They didn't disband of their own accord, so they went their separate ways after that. Now that the group has disbanded, their popularity is definitely not as good as it was back then."
Zhang Ye asked, "What about Grandma Zhang Xia?"
Tian Weiwei shook his head. "I haven't heard of her in the past few years, nor have I seen her appear on the Spring Festival Gala. She should have retired from the entertainment industry, right? It's very difficult for the older generation of celebrities these days. There's basically no work for them to take on anymore, and many of the older artists that I like have retired. It's quite a pity. In recent years, the entertainment industry as a whole feels like it's undergoing a generational change. It's just that no one could have expected it to happen so quickly. "
Old Zhang had retired?
Old Yao had knelt down?
Spring Garden had disbanded?
Even Old Xu couldn't hold on any longer?
After asking for a long time, Zhang Ye could only sigh.
He said, "Then who are the popular celebrities now?"
Chen Qiqi said, "Lord Zhang, you won't know even if I tell you."
Chen Niannian giggled and said, "You definitely won't know any of them."
Suddenly, a shout came from afar.
"Wow!"
"It's a celebrity!"
"Oh my God!"
"It's Dandan!"
"It's really her!"
Several of the young visitors seemed to have gone crazy!
A young man who was swimming in the sea nearly choked on the water. Then he anxiously swam towards the shore, not even bothering to catch his breath!
The people from the Qiyuan were also stunned!
Tian Weiwei looked pleasantly surprised!
Chen Qiqi kept screaming, "It's Dandan! I love her to death! "
When Zhang Ye saw who it was, he was also stunned.
The people from the Qiyuan stood up and stomped their feet as they looked over.
Chen Niannian pointed and said, "Lord Zhang, didn't you ask about the current popular celebrities? She's one of them. She's the hottest Internet celebrity of the past few years! "
Zhang Ye was stunned. "The hottest Internet celebrity?"
Tian Weiwei said, "Yeah, other than the male idols sweeping the entertainment industry in recent years, there's another group that's also risen up, and that's the Internet celebrities. It's different from the so-called Internet celebrities of the past. The Internet celebrities these days are really popular, and their popularity is comparable to that of the mainstream celebrities in the entertainment industry."
A rookie Go player shouted, "What's she doing here?"
Another Go player said, "Dandan is also here in Sanya for a vacation? How lucky! I can't believe I can see her here! Could it be that she's here to record a video? "
Chen Qiqi shouted, "No, this is a golden opportunity. I'm going to get her autograph!"
Chen Niannian shouted, "I'm going too, I'm going too!"
Tian Weiwei suddenly fell silent. Then he called Chen Qiqi over. "Qiqi, get me an autograph too."
Chen Qiqi exclaimed, "Why don't you go by yourself?"
Chen Niannian glanced at her sister. "What kind of status does Lord Tian have? Do you think he can go by himself?"
Zhang Ye was amused. "Little Tian chases after celebrities too?"
Tian Weiwei coughed awkwardly. "No, I just like her quite a bit."
Chen Qiqi said, "Lord Zhang, you were still inside when Dandan became popular. You haven't seen her videos yet. They're really funny, and most of the young people in the country are her fans!"
In the distance.
There were a few people around the female celebrity.
It was unknown if they were her agent or her assistant, but they immediately blocked the crowd.
The female celebrity looked around and suddenly saw the people from the Qiyuan. Her eyes reddened and she ran over without a care for her image!
When two other girls saw this, they also ran over while screaming!
Tian Weiwei was dumbfounded. "Ah?"
Chen Qiqi said in surprise, "They're running towards us?"
Chen Niannian was at a loss. "Damn, what's going on?"
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Zhang Ye smiled and stood up.
The next moment, under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, the female celebrity threw herself into Zhang Ye's arms and burst into tears. "Brother! You're finally back! "
Zhang Ye patted Cao Dan on the back. "I'm back, I'm back."
The two girls behind her also threw themselves at him!
His third sister wailed loudly. "Brother! I missed you so much! "
Zhang Ye said, "I missed you guys too."
Seeing them crying so hard, his second sister also pretended to wipe her eyes. "Brother, why didn't you come back on Lunar New Year's Eve? Do you still have red envelopes these days?"
Zhang Ye rapped his second sister on the head. "You lass, you only care about money!"
His second sister giggled.
His three cousins hugged Zhang Ye and refused to let go.
Zhang Ye said in relief, "You've all grown up, you've all grown up."
His third sister cried, "Brother, you've also become an uncle. You even have wrinkles now!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm already over 30, so who doesn't have wrinkles?" Then he patted his eldest younger sister on the head. "Don't cry. You're already an adult and a big celebrity, so why are you still acting like a child?"
His eldest younger sister said coquettishly, "I'm just a child!"
Zhang Ye asked, "Where's Grandpa and Grandma?"
His second sister said, "They're all here. They're at the villa."
Zhang Ye said, "Aiyo, I'll be going back in a few days."
His eldest younger sister wiped her eyes. "Grandpa and Grandma said that they couldn't wait any longer and insisted on coming back with us."
"Let's go, let's hurry back." Zhang Ye quickly dragged his sisters back to the villa.
The group of Qiyuan people who were left behind were so shocked that their jaws dropped!
Only now did they realize that the number one Internet celebrity of the past few years, Cao Dan, the idol of the new generation of youngsters, was actually Zhang Ye's younger sister!
What was going on?
Wasn't this news way too big?!
