Central TV Department 11.
An internal meeting of the competition's program team.
There were eight to nine people at the conference table.
The first person said, "Is the recording studio ready?"
"Everything is ready." A woman said.
"What about the division?" The first person asked again.
The third middle-aged man on the left said, "We have already contacted the notary office. We will be randomly divided tomorrow."
Suddenly, a youth said hesitantly, "Director, there is a problem now. Two people from the first batch of banned artists by decree # 43 have come to us to register. We have not dealt with them yet, so we will follow the normal procedures." The first person said, "Yes, I heard about this.
The leader said, "Yes, I've heard about this matter. It's alright. Since this competition does not have any restrictions on the number of participants, then we will follow the normal procedures. However, I want you all to follow up on this. No matter what they say, Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's crosstalk performance must not be broadcasted or uploaded. The higher-ups have already issued a strict order that these banned artists' performances cannot even be broadcasted on the internet.
"Understood."
"We know."
Regarding Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's arrival, Central TV Department 11 was rendered speechless. They knew that the two of them were here to cause trouble, but after a long discussion, they did not deprive Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai of the right to participate. This was because they had no reason to do so. They could ban Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's broadcast, but they could not ban their personal rights. Besides, this was no ordinary entertainment program, but the National Crosstalk and Skit Competition. It was an authoritative competition jointly organized by the Crosstalk Association and five other departments. If they really did not allow Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai to participate, it was not impossible, but if that happened, then their competition would lose its fairness and openness. Their reputation would be gone. They could ban whoever they wanted to? Exclude dissidents? If this reputation spread, it would not be good. It would also have a negative impact on their program. Hence, after a discussion between the program team and the organizers, they finally decided to let Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai do as they pleased. It was not worth damaging the program's reputation for two people who could not possibly advance.
As for advancing?
That was a joke!
They had not even been broadcasted, and their participating works did not include them, so how could they advance? Besides, if the two of them were to do a program or act, they could still believe it. But crosstalk? What kind of crosstalk could they do! Crosstalk was an art of language. Without more than a decade of practice, it was impossible to even begin!
......
On the same day.
This news broke out on the internet.
When the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention and shock of countless people!
"Ah? Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai are going to perform crosstalk? "
"What the hell! Am I seeing things? "
"Rumor, right? Rumors can't be trusted. How is that possible? "
"It should be true. It seems to have been spread by someone from Central TV Department 11."
"Wasn't he banned?"
"Yeah, how can he still participate in the competition?"
"I don't understand either. What's going on?"
"Banning refers to restricting broadcasting channels, not restricting personal freedom and civil rights. It's like taking the civil service exam. You might have a bad record in the past, and even if you pass the exam, the other party won't hire you. But that doesn't mean you don't have the right to take the exam. You can still take the exam. Haha, I dare say that this idea was thought of by Teacher Zhang Ye. He is taking advantage of this loophole and is preparing to mess up the crosstalk and skit competition. I guess he is just trying to create trouble and make things difficult for others. If you really expect Teacher Zhang Ye to get a good placing, then you are dreaming too much. How could Zhang Ye know how to do crosstalk? "
"Then what's the point of going? Don't tell me they're going to broadcast it? "
"They definitely won't broadcast it."
"The way Teacher Zhang does things is always so unexpected! Hahaha! "
"It's good to disgust others. Teacher Zhang Ye has nothing better to do at home, so he came out to 'have a spin'! Pfft! It's a comical feeling! "
"I'm laughing too. Zhang Ye teaming up with Yao Jiancai to perform crosstalk? I can't imagine this scene! I feel a baffling sense of anticipation! "
"I really want to go and see it live. I want to see how bad Teacher Zhang can be!"
"I guess Zhang Ye doesn't even have a crosstalk program prepared. He'll just go there and cause trouble. As long as he's there, the goal is achieved. It doesn't matter what he says!"
"Supporting Zhang Ye!"
"Supporting Old Yao!"
"Haha! These two brothers in hardship are too good at stirring up trouble! "
"They are already completely banned, yet they still dare to participate in a televised competition?"
… …
Zhang Ye's house.
When he returned in the afternoon, his phone rang non-stop.
It was the skit actress, Ci Xiufang. The first thing she said was, "You are participating in the crosstalk competition? You sure are great. What's the point? "
Zhang Ye held his cellphone and smiled, "To show my existence."
Ci Xiufang said, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Do you think that just because they let you register, you can participate? You can get broadcast? You can advance? You are thinking too simply. I can guarantee that after you participate in the preliminaries, you won't even be able to stir up any commotion. It will be a waste of effort. "
"I know."
"You still want to go if you know?"
"Aiyah, Auntie Ci, I naturally have my considerations."
After hanging up the call with Teacher Ci, a few more friends called him.
Tian Bin: "What's your situation?"
Zhang Ye said, "Hur Hur, just like that."
"Are you really going to participate?" Tian Bin said in a speechless manner.
Zhang Ye acknowledged, "Of course."
Tian Bin said, "Alright, then I won't say anything more."
On the other side, Yao Jiancai was also taking calls one by one. They were all from his friends. They were all asking him about the registration.
Yao Jiancai answered the calls one by one.
Zhang Ye suggested, "There's still a lot of things to do. Let's just switch off our phones."
Yao Jiancai nodded and switched off his cellphone. He then looked at Zhang Ye and blinked, "Little Zhang, those phone calls just now woke me up. Before registering for the competition, I was fooled by you and nearly lost my bearings. Now that I think about it, something's not right. You said that even if we are not allowed to broadcast the preliminaries, the semi-finals and finals will be broadcast live on television. Central TV's Department 11 definitely has no way of preventing us from being broadcast. But that's not right. Our works in the preliminaries can't even be f * * king seen by others. It has been banned, so how the f * * k can we enter the semi-finals and finals?"
Zhang Ye said vaguely, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Yao Jiancai nearly fainted, "Talk about it?"
Zhang Ye said, "Since we have nothing else to do, let's do our crosstalk well. As for the rest, let's leave it to fate. Alright, Old Yao, let's practice our lines first."
Yao Jiancai said, "I realize that I've boarded a pirate ship and can't get out. Alright, I'll go all out this time. I'll accompany you to the end! Come! "
Actually, Zhang Ye understood what everyone was saying, but there were some things he could not explain to everyone. Of course, he knew that his and Old Yao's works could not be broadcasted. This competition was also fraught with difficulties. There was no way out, but Zhang Ye had his own methods. However, he could not tell others. What he needed to do now was to drag Old Yao to participate in the preliminaries and do his best with his crosstalk work in the preliminaries!
As for the rest, it was up to fate!
Whether this matter could succeed or not, it really needed some luck!
