Morning.
It was a new day.
Zhang Ye woke up from his bed. He had not done anything last night, so he could not suppress the anger in his heart. He had wanted to sleep in the school belle's room, so he had shamelessly chatted with her in bed for a long time. But in the end, he was chased out by Dong Shanshan.
Sigh, life.
It was as lonely as snow!
Dong Shanshan had also woken up and was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"Shanshan."
"You're awake?"
"Yea, what shall we eat?"
"Fried buns and poached eggs."
"Alright, then I'll brush my teeth and wash up."
After breakfast, Dong Shanshan picked up her bag and prepared to leave. To avoid suspicion, she always left separately from Zhang Ye. If she wasn't leaving first, it would be him.
Zhang Ye sent her to the door.
"Let's go." Dong Shanshan said with a smile.
Zhang Ye acknowledged and then blinked his eyes. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her.
However, Dong Shanshan nimbly twisted her body and dodged. She opened the door and dashed out. She smiled and waved, "See you at the office in a while."
Zhang Ye smiled bitterly. Damn, he did not manage to kiss her.
Bear with it for a few days. In two days, he would teach her a lesson!
… …
At the company.
The moment Zhang Ye arrived, he was called to his office by Wang Xiong.
"Director Wang." Zhang Ye said, "You were looking for me?"
Wang Xiong let him sit down and said with a smile, "The highest episode of your 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show' has already exceeded 10 million views. Your reputation is also gradually spreading. Look, there are already two or three partners who are contacting us. They want to be the exclusive title sponsor for your 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show'. As for the details, the company's relevant staff are still discussing it with them. So I want to ask you, how long can you do this program?"
Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said, "According to the current progress, with one episode a day, it might end in less than two months. If we only broadcast one or two episodes a week, it might last for more than half a year."
Wang Xiong pondered, "Two months? That's about 60 episodes? Sure. "
Zhang Ye asked curiously, "Is the sponsorship fee very high?"
"Hur Hur." Wang Xiong said, "With the number of views your program has, it naturally won't be low. They have already given a quote. It's already the highest sponsorship fee in the WebTV industry. But from the looks of it, it can still be discussed."
The amount of sponsorship fees was also a reflection of a person's net worth, so Zhang Ye was naturally very concerned about it.
As he was speaking, the phone on Wang Xiong's office table suddenly rang. He picked it up, "Hello …" Then after listening for a few words, Wang Xiong's expression suddenly changed, "I'll be right there … Eh? Asking Zhang Ye to go too? Alright, Manager Feng, I understand. "After hanging up, he called out to Zhang Ye," Let's go upstairs. "
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "This is?"
Wang Xiong frowned, "The people from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television are here. Director Feng wants you to go over too. It might be regarding your program. Go ahead first. I don't know the exact situation."
Zhang Ye was baffled. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television? My show?
This department could be said to be very famous. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the department in charge of the entertainment industry. In the case of television and online television stations, the SARFT was in charge of the review, punishment, cancellation, etc. In short, the power of life and death rested in their hands.
…
Upstairs.
Feng Guiqin's office.
When Wang Xiong and Zhang Ye entered, there were already five to six people in the room. One of them was Feng Guiqin, and another was the Leader of Weiwo company. The other people were people Zhang Ye had never seen before. There were two middle-aged men and two youths, three men and one woman. The middle-aged man leading them had a big belly. It was unknown if it was due to drinking too much beer, but it was obvious that he was a Leader.
The beer-bellied SARFT official was sitting on the sofa with airs. He said to Feng Guiqin and the other company's upper echelon, "The decision has been made. Carry it out!"
It could be seen that Feng Guiqin was suppressing her anger. She said, "But 'Talk Show' has only aired a few episodes. If it were to be halted now, it would have a huge impact on our online television station. This program is already our brand. The country has been supporting online television stations for the past few years. Now, with this decision, we …"
Halted?
"Zhang Ye's Talk Show" was halted?
Zhang Ye's face immediately turned black. He never expected this!
Wang Xiong probably did not expect this either. His expression turned cold. He immediately said to the beer-bellied official, "Leader, why are you halting Little Zhang's program?"
Another middle-aged man from the SARFT glanced at him and said, "Why do you ask? Back when you submitted this program for approval, we were the ones who approved it. We also gave you a program number, but what did the documents you submitted say? This is an entertainment program whose goal is to be funny. But now, we have watched the past few episodes of the program. It is no longer purely funny and entertaining. The program is filled with vulgarities and unhealthy joke segments. Especially in the second episode, it even touched on politics. It used rumors to insult neighboring countries! If we don't halt the program, who should we halt? Entertainment has a bottom line! This is not how you do programs. You have crossed the line! "
Zhang Ye took a step forward, "Where was the vulgarities?"
A youth from the SARFT stared straight at him, "What's JB?"
"JB is vulgarities?" Zhang Ye returned the gaze, "Then are all the English letters cursing people!?"
"Little Zhang!" Feng Guiqin noticed that Zhang Ye was getting anxious, so she immediately reminded him, "Don't say too much. Wait at the back." Then she said to a few people from the SARFT, "Isn't the censorship of Talk Shows too much? If the higher-ups feel that it's inappropriate, we can make adjustments. We can also delete the joke segments that the SARFT feels do not meet the requirements in previous episodes and halt the program. Our losses are too great! "
Wang Xiong added, "Besides, 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show' doesn't touch on politics at all. It's just the banter of some commoners."
The leading SARFT official said impatiently, "But the banter and sarcasm in your program has seriously affected the stability of social order!"
Feng Guiqin squinted her eyes, "Isn't this a big accusation?"
Wang Xiong was also infuriated, "It's just an entertainment program. How can it be anti-social?"
The woman from the SARFT interrupted them, "Do you know how many people went to the official website of the Shanghai SARFT to report this program, 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show'? There are hundreds of anonymous letters every day! If we let you continue broadcasting, who knows how much trouble it will cause! "
Feng Guiqin retorted, "Which program doesn't have people reporting it? If it is reported, it will be banned and halted? Then there won't be any entertainment programs in the country! "
The leading SARFT official looked coldly at Feng Guiqin, "We are here to announce the SARFT's decision. From today onwards, 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show' will be halted. All you need to do is to carry it out. We have already answered all that needs to be answered. There's no need to explain anything to you. This is the SARFT's punishment. Also, now is the period of crackdown. There are relevant regulations for the punishment of programs that violate the rules. Tonight, before 8 PM, our Shanghai SARFT will be holding a small press conference to announce the punishment of 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show' and other recent programs that have violated the rules. You can attend when the time comes!" He stood up and said to the people beside him, "Let's go."
A few people from the Shanghai SARFT swaggered off.
Wang Xiong hurriedly said, "Director Feng, this …"
"Let me make a call!" Feng Guiqin picked up her cell phone and dialed.
Zhang Ye stood there without saying a word. His face was terrifyingly black. I've gone through so much trouble and spent so much effort, and the program that just went on has been halted by you? And the reason for being halted was so baffling? Affecting social order? F * * k your grandpa!
The joke segments and topics he said were basically from his world. For example, the Korean special, the main source of the content was "Tonight 80's Talk Show". As for Wang Zijian, he had been doing fine on television, and nothing had happened to him. He had never been warned or punished by the SARFT, so why couldn't he do it here? Besides, "Tonight 80's Talk Show" was a television program. If it was fine, why couldn't his WebTV, which had a relatively larger scale, do it? As for "Bao Zou Big News Events", this WebTV talk show was filled with vulgarities and curses, but it was still living well. At least it was not censored or halted! Why can't I do it?
Could it be that this world's SARFT's censorship was stronger than his world's? It was basically not allowed to say anything? That's not right either! If Zhang Ye had really gone overboard, Feng Guiqin, Wang Xiong and the other Leaders of Weiwo company would have already told him that they would edit it out in post-production. However, Feng Guizhen and company, who had been in the WebTV industry for so many years and were so familiar with the industry, did not say anything, so why couldn't the SARFT do it?
And it wasn't just a few episodes being halted!
This was an indefinite halt!
Zhang Ye did not understand. He did not know what the problem was.
Feng Guizhen's call went through, "Hello, Dean Zheng. I'm Old Feng."
"Old Feng." It was a middle-aged man's voice. As the cell phone's volume was very loud, Wang Xiong and Zhang Ye, who were standing beside him, could hear it clearly.
Listening to the voice, he was likely a Leader of the Shanghai SARFT.
Feng Guiqin said, "One of our programs has been halted. Do you know about it?"
"Talk Show? I just found out about it. " Without waiting for Feng Guiqin to speak, the middle-aged man said, "Old Feng, I knew you would look for me. However, I can't help you much this time. The person who led the team to you should be Li Tao, right? Previously, he was banned by the television station. Now that his new program is so popular, many people from the television station can't stand it anymore, so they will definitely do something. Thirdly, according to what I know, Li Tao's daughter's idol is Lee Parkwoo. Maybe it's because of his daughter. After his team found out that 'Zhang Ye's Talk Show' violated the rules, they directly reported it to the station. Then, it was reported to the SARFT at the top. Now, the top has approved the suspension of the program, so even if I speak up for you, it would be useless. "
