In the afternoon.
At the studio.
When the door opened, Zhang Ye came in.
Looking inside, there were not many people in the studio today. There were only four or five people on duty. Because it was Saturday, the rest of the staff were on leave.
"Director Zhang?"
"Why are you here?"
"Isn't it a holiday today?"
"Haha, I just saw your post on Moments."
"Why aren't you at home with your child?"
"Yeah, we're here."
Zhang Ye said, "Sister Lan has settled it."
Tong Fu was pleasantly surprised. "So fast?"
"Sister Lan's new movie's box office earnings seem to be very high," Zhang Ye said with a smile.
Little Wang was shocked. "Ah, we didn't notice. Then —"
Zhang Ye said, "Quickly call Old Ha and Old Zuo back."
Little Wang immediately said, "Understood, I'll make the call right away!"
Soon after, Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo drove back.
Zhang Ye instructed, "Old Ha, you've always been in charge of liaising with the rating agencies, right? Tell them that my rating can be reopened. "
Ha Qiqi smiled and said, "Alright! I've been waiting for it! "
Zhang Zuo was also very excited. "It's finally time!"
Zhang Ye said, "Brother Zuo, please make a trip to the media."
Zhang Zuo accepted the order. "Alright, I'll handle it."
Zhang Ye clapped his hands. "Everyone, buck up. Whether we succeed or fail, it all depends on today!"
"Got it!"
"Alright!"
"Director Zhang will definitely win!"
At this moment, the people of Zhang Ye's Studio were in high spirits!
They also wanted to know how far Director Zhang could go this time!
…
Soon, the news spread.
The official Weibo account of the ratings agency posted: "We've just received the latest news from Zhang Ye's Studio. Teacher Zhang Ye has decided to reopen the domestic popularity rankings (The popularity rankings have not been updated in the past three and a half years). Our staff have already accepted the application and are currently processing the relevant information and data. The tentative reopening of Teacher Zhang Ye's domestic popularity rankings will be at 7 PM sharp today. If there are any changes, please keep an eye on the Chinese Celebrity Rankings Index. Thank you."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The media blew up!
The industry blew up!
The people were in an uproar!
"Zhang Ye reopens his popularity rankings?"
"The entertainment industry is about to undergo a major change?"
"How much popularity does a former Heavenly King have left?"
"Will Zhang Ye be able to stage the comeback of the king?"
"A Bombshell!"
"Another storm in the entertainment industry!"
…
At an entertainment company.
"Heavens!"
"Is he really going to open the ranking system?"
"This is a big deal!"
"No wonder my eyelids have been twitching for the past two days. I knew there would be chaos!"
"Zhang Ye has come with ill intentions!"
"What will be the result of the reopening of the rankings this time?"
"No one knows about this now!"
…
Central TV.
"Is it about to open?"
"It's too sudden!"
"It's not that sudden. In fact, he should have returned to the list a long time ago."
"Yeah, let's not talk about the hacking incident from before. It was very normal for Zhang Ye's popularity ranking to be suspended, but now that he's been released from prison and has made such a great contribution to the country's scientific research, there's no reason for his popularity ranking to be suspended. But why did he only reopen it now?"
"Could it be because of Xu Meilan?"
"With Zhang Ye's character, it's really possible!"
…
At a gathering of male idols.
"What?"
"Is that true?"
"This won't do. Let's disperse. I have to go back to the studio!"
"Let's go together. Sigh, I can't eat anymore."
"I thought he didn't care about the ranking anymore."
"If his rating is real — er, it shouldn't be possible, right?"
"There's still Guan Zhaohua holding the top spot."
"Yeah, Brother Guan is currently in first place in the domestic popularity rankings."
…
At Guan Zhaohua's Studio.
"This is bad!"
"Zhang Ye is going to reopen his popularity ranking!"
"Will it affect us?"
"I don't think so. He can't possibly be that fierce, right?"
"Yeah, no matter how amazing Zhang Ye is, he only came back not too long ago. He hasn't been in the entertainment industry for three or four years now, so there's no reason for him to affect us!"
"But that's still very dangerous. He's a legend to begin with!"
"Let's get ready first!"
"Quick, contact the media and release some news!"
…
At another Heavenly Queen's studio.
"Why is he causing trouble at a time like this?"
"Xu Meilan has just risen to sixth place in the S-list, and he's already reopening his popularity ranking? Wouldn't that put us in danger? We're currently in seventh place, which means we're at the bottom of the S-list rankings! "
"We can't let Zhang Ye get into the S-list!"
"Get in touch with a few media outlets that we're on good terms with and see if they can find some dirt on Zhang Ye to publish."
"You're overthinking things. No media outlet would dare to publish anything at this time."
"Pay up!"
"How is this a matter of money! Don't you know who Zhang Ye's wife is? "
…
Yao Jiancai's house.
"Hahahaha!"
"Uncle Zhang is mighty!"
"The kid is finally coming back!"
"I reckon that a lot of people in the entertainment industry won't be able to sit still anymore."
…
Xu Meilan's studio.
"Teacher Zhang, you can do it!"
"I hope Teacher Zhang can win!"
"Teacher Zhang has really helped us a lot in the fight against the male idols and the rankings. Sister Lan is really lucky to have such a friend."
"That's right. Teacher Zhang is really loyal."
"Of course, don't you know how long Sister Lan and Teacher Zhang have known each other?"
"May Teacher Zhang be victorious!"
…
Xiaodong's house.
All three members of Spring Garden were there.
"Teacher Zhang finally can't sit still anymore!"
"Good timing!"
"The ranking system should have been opened long ago!"
"This rating is too crucial!"
"Yeah, the reopening of the rankings this time is to disrupt the current structure of the entertainment industry!"
…
In the Go world.
"Give me your blessings!"
"Lord Zhang is rushing up the popularity rankings. We must support him!"
"Lord Zhang, you can do it!"
…
In the advertising world.
At Li Xiaoxiao's house. She was chatting with her close friends.
"Xiaoxiao, quick, watch the news!"
"Is this true or not?"
"Zhang Ye is going to stir up trouble again!"
"You're talking as if he hasn't stirred up trouble ever since he came back."
"But it's different this time. The popularity rankings are the standard to measure everything."
"I don't like this Zhang Ye. Back then, he had an advertising war with our Xiaoxiao. That 'Family Spring Is A Little Sweet' commercial suppressed Xiaoxiao for so many years! I get angry just talking about it! "
"Yeah, our Xiaoxiao was the number one person in the advertising and marketing world back then. That Zhang Ye is just a host, yet he still came to stir up trouble in the advertising world. How infuriating!"
"Hur hur, but he's really capable."
"Xiaoxiao, why are you still speaking up for him!"
"I'm just stating the facts."
…
At Xinhua News Agency.
"What's going to happen will eventually happen."
"Is the winner going to be decided this time?"
"Who is Zhang Ye going to compete against?"
"The male idols, I guess?"
"No, he's going to compete against all the celebrities in the country!"
…
Zhang Ye's fan club.
In a group chat.
"Teacher Zhang is going to smack faces again!"
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of anticipation!"
"What a great Zhang Ye!"
"When it's time to make a move, make a move!"
"Come on! My saber is so, so, so, so, so, so hungry! "
…
On Weibo …
"Still in shock!"
"I can't wait!"
"Sister Lan's movie's box office earnings have just exploded and she has just risen to sixth place on the S-list, yet Zhang Ye wants to reopen the rankings? It's too obvious! "
"So he's waiting for Xu Meilan!"
"I was wondering why he didn't open his ranking earlier!"
"Zhang Ye is too loyal!"
"This is a true friend!"
"@ ZhangYe, thank you on behalf of Sister Lan!"
"Lord Zhang is loyal!"
"Teacher Zhang is a real man!"
"I am the deputy leader of Sister Lan's fan club. On behalf of all the members of the fan club, I thank Teacher Zhang Ye. From now on, we will forever be allies. We will go through thick and thin together. Big Saber Bro, if you need us in the future, just say the word!"
"Yao Jiancai's fan club is here to support him!"
"Dong Shanshan's fan club has come to show their support!"
"Ning Lan's fan club is here to support her!"
"We're waiting for the final results!"
"Right, let's wait together!"
…
This day was destined to not be peaceful.
A Weibo post from the ratings agency had turned the entire entertainment circle upside down!
Everyone knew that after today, the domestic entertainment circle's landscape would be turned upside down!
