Afternoon.
Caishikou.
"Teacher Zhang, we're here."
"There's no need to say thank you."
"Don't be so polite. Have a good new year."
"You too. Happy new year to all of you."
"Alright, we'll drop you off here. We'll be leaving."
Lu Yuhu and company's police car slowly drove away. Zhang Ye turned around and looked at his bustling district and the firecracker remnants on the ground. He walked in with mixed feelings!
Dong!
Bang!
They were still setting off firecrackers!
Red lanterns were hung on the doors of each unit. Zhang Ye's mood turned for the better. He could not help but hum the tune of "Woman Flower".
A middle-aged woman was lighting the firecrackers with her child. Suddenly, she turned around and saw Zhang Ye. She immediately exclaimed, "Aiyah! Little Ye is back! "
Zhang Ye smiled and greeted, "Auntie Qu."
Another old man sitting downstairs also shouted, "It's really Little Ye!"
Zhang Ye said, "Uncle Liu, I'm here to wish you a happy new year. Are you alright?"
The old man said, "I'm fine. I was just worried about you. I was afraid something would happen to you. Hurry home. Your Dad and Mom are worried!"
"Alright, thank you for your concern." After Zhang Ye finished speaking to his old neighbors, he quickly went upstairs. He felt for his keys and opened the door himself.
The door opened.
He saw a woman in her fifties in the living room.
Zhang Donghua was stunned, "Little Ye! Why are you back? "
Zhang Ye chuckled, "Aunt."
Another woman in her mid-twenties immediately ran out. She looked average, but her height was the same as Zhang Donghua's. She was 1.68 meters tall.
Zhang Shuang was also pleasantly surprised, "Little Ye! Everyone was talking about you! Aiyah, you made us so worried! "
Zhang Ye said, "Sis."
Zhang Shuang hurriedly turned around and shouted into the house, "Uncle, Aunt! Look who's back! "
Without them coming out, Zhang Ye had already gone in. He looked at his parents with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I'm back. Sorry for making you worry."
Dad was stunned, "You let her go?"
"Yes, I just got out of the police station." Zhang Ye said.
His father asked anxiously, "Is there anything else?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything's fine now. A friend of mine got someone to 'fish' me out. Hai, it wasn't that big of a deal to begin with!"
His father heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good! That's great! "
Zhang Donghua said softly, "Our Little Ye is blessed and has a long life. I already said that he would be able to turn misfortune into fortune!"
"Mom." Zhang Ye looked at his mother.
His mother ignored him. She tilted her head and secretly wiped away her tears.
Zhang Ye exclaimed and quickly went over, "What's the matter, Mom? I've already settled it. Look at you, look at you. Why are you crying?"
His mother hit him on the head and cried, "You damned child! Are you trying to scare me to death? What if you get locked up for three to five years? Who should your dad and I go to? "
Zhang Shuang said with a smile, "Quickly coax my aunt. Aunt has been crying since this morning. She keeps talking about you, afraid that you will be sentenced."
Zhang Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Why would I be sentenced? I only hit a person. I didn't even injure him. How big of a deal is that? Look at you!"
His mother hit him angrily again, "You're still laughing! You're still laughing! Your dad and I did not sleep the entire night! "
Zhang Ye did not dare to dodge. He took a few hits, but it did not hurt or itch, "Alright, alright. I was wrong, Mom. I was really wrong. Please calm down. I won't do it again."
His mother wiped her tears and said, "That was what you promised me the last time we were released from the police station! But in the end? You did what you had to do! Only you can do it, right? Only you have the ability, right? Why didn't anyone move at the scene, but you went up to kick him? Only you have a bad temper! "
Zhang Ye did not argue, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
"You just won't let me be at ease!" His mother was still angry.
His father interjected, "Alright, alright. The child has been tormented by the police station all night."
His aunt asked, "Have you eaten?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Not yet. I'm really hungry."
"Hur Hur, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you." His aunt walked towards the kitchen.
His mother stood up and pulled her back. She wiped her tears and said, "Sis, let me do it. He loves to eat zhajiang noodles. I'll make some sauce."
Zhang Ye flattered with a pout, "My mom still dotes on me."
His mother glared at him, "I'll deal with you after your aunt leaves!"
Ring, ring, ring. The phone on the table rang.
His father looked at the caller ID and said to Zhang Ye, "It's from your grandma's house."
"I'll answer it." Zhang Ye quickly picked up the phone, "Hello."
His grandma's surprised voice came through, "Oh? It's Little Ye? "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Grandma, I'm home. I just arrived and was about to call you and my uncles.... Yes, it's fine.... Don't worry, take care of yourself...."
After making a few calls, Zhang Ye informed his relatives that he was safe.
Then, his cell phone suddenly rang. Many of his friends were calling him.
......
This was Wu Zeqing's number.
"Hello, President Wu."
"You're home?"
"Yes, thanks to you."
"I didn't help much either."
"I heard from the police station that you had pressured them. Thank you. I'll definitely pay you a visit to wish you a happy new year."
"There's no need. Spend time with your family."
......
This was Zhang Yuanqi's.
"It's me."
"Sister Zhang, I know it's you."
"How is it?"
"It's out. A friend helped me with it. It's fine now."
"I'm hanging up."
"Uh, alright. Oh yes, happy new year."
"OK."
......
This was Dong Shanshan's.
"Old classmate, I heard that you were released?"
"Yes, I just got out. Shanshan, you went back to your hometown?"
"Yes, I went back for the new year. You sure are great. There's news about you every day during the new year. There's even a small newspaper in my small county town that has reports of you hitting people."
"Eh, am I that famous now?"
"You're overthinking it. I guess they didn't have enough space, so they added you, hur hur."
......
Finally, there were Yao Jiancai, Zhao Guozhou, Wang Xiaomei, Ci Xiufang, Wang Xiong, Tian Bin, etc. A bunch of old friends of his called to show their concern. Zhang Ye thanked them one by one and explained the situation to them. He also joked with them.
"Old Tian, your pass is still with me. I'll bring it over to you later." Zhang Ye said.
Tian Bin said, "It's fine. That's a temporary pass. The Spring Festival Gala has ended, so it's useless. Keep it as a souvenir."
Zhang Ye acknowledged, "Alright, thanks a lot. That's it then?"
Tian Bin said, "Hurry up and go eat. Oh yes, remember to take a look at the Celebrity Rankings."
"Oh? What does that mean? "Zhang Ye wondered.
"You'll know when you see it. I just saw it too." Tian Bin smiled and hung up.
His mother had already brought out the zhajiang noodles. "Don't call. Eat first. The noodles will be lumped later!"
"Thank you, Mom." Zhang Ye immediately picked up his chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls. He slurped and slurped without a care for his image. He was really starving. As he ate, he took out his cellphone to surf the internet. He glanced at the Celebrity Rankings that Old Tian had mentioned. When he saw his own name, Zhang Ye was overjoyed!
C-list!
How long had he waited? He had finally advanced to the C-list!
Although he was ranked last, he was still the real deal!
Zhang Ye immediately showed them his cellphone screen.
When Zhang Shuang saw it, she was extremely excited. "Good job, Little Ye! You've really done our family proud! You're a real superstar now! Back then, the actor that I especially liked, Chen Qiqi, was only a C-list! And that very famous author, Ye Zier. A few of his books have sold in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. Now, he has become a director and filmed a movie that has done well at the box office. That's what makes him a D-list! "
Zhang Ye shrugged. "Me? I'm just an unorthodox person. I participate in everything and dare to do anything. That's why I have more popularity points." He was rather self-aware.
Zhang Shuang was tickled by this "unorthodox person", but thinking about it, it was indeed true.
Zhang Donghua smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."
His mother was still rather smug. "He's just a C-list celebrity. He's still far from others."
Zhang Donghua said, "Compared to those A-list and B-list celebrities, he's still far from them. But how long has it been since Little Ye debuted? It only took him about half a year to climb from the bottom to a C-list celebrity. Who can do that? "
Zhang Ye finished the zhajiang noodles in no time. He was in a great mood.
In his previous world, celebrities and celebrities were also categorized. However, the categorization was more detailed, and there was no authoritative value to use as a reference. For example, there were B-list directors, C-list hosts, A-list singers, S-list actors, and even A-list and B-list authors, etc. But in this different world, these evaluations were based on the popularity of all the celebrities, so the value was even higher. In this world of C-list celebrities, it could be said that to a certain extent, most people knew of them. They either knew of them, knew of their names, or knew of one of their works. In this world where the entertainment industry was very developed and the amount of information available was huge, achieving this was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But now, Zhang Ye had done it. And he had done it in just half a year!
C-list!
This was a watershed!
A celebrity who could not make it into the C-list would forever be a person who lingered outside the center of the entertainment industry. Only those who could make it into the C-list could be considered a true celebrity. Only then could they be considered to have reached the next level!
Originally, Zhang Ye had calculated that he would have to wait for his "Zhang Ye's Talk Show" to finish broadcasting before he could step into the C-list. But now, his talk show had only been broadcast for a few days, and he had already reached his goal. He knew that this was the credit of the Spring Festival Gala song, "Woman Flower", and more importantly, the credit of him sending Lee Anson flying. This matter had attracted too much attention from society. In just a short night, Zhang Ye's popularity had increased by leaps and bounds. He had jumped from the top of the D-list rankings to the C-list rankings. The gap between the top of the D-list rankings was very large, so Zhang Ye could not imagine how much popularity his kick had brought him!
This C-list celebrity was really fought his way up!
Some people became famous by singing, some people became famous by filming movies, and some people became famous by writing novels. However, none of them were as ferocious as Zhang Ye. He actually relied on beating and scolding people to increase his popularity! Zhang Ye's name was destined to go down in the annals of the entertainment industry!
An oddity of the entertainment industry!
This evaluation was really too appropriate!
This method of increasing one's popularity was f * * king unprecedented!
