That night.
"I Am a Scholar" was completely on fire!
The votes of the two "nameless people" also continued to soar!
130,000...
150,000...
200,000...
They had long broken the National Crosstalk and Skit Competition's preliminaries record. Furthermore, they were breaking the record every second, creating history. If the number of votes was not an intuitive concept, then a simple set of numbers would be enough to understand. According to statistics, from the start of the competition in the morning, the votes of the thousands of contestants totaled to about 286,000. That also meant that netizens had cast a total of nearly 300,000 votes. And the "nameless" crosstalk team had actually obtained more than half of the votes!
1 vs more than a thousand!
200,000 vs 86,000!
And they had won with an overwhelming number of votes!
This was a disparity that no one could look straight at. Nearly all the commoners were applauding and praising them. They had never come into contact with such a brand new form of commercial crosstalk. All of them had high praises for it!
However, compared to the commoners' delight, the reactions of other places were completely different!
When many netizens saw this, they were at a loss of whether to laugh or cry!
"What a joke!"
"Are we living in the same world?"
"If Tang Dazhang's two disciples are considered extremely outstanding, then what about Teacher Zhang and Teacher Yao? Wouldn't the two of them shock the universe!? "
"It's too fake!"
"What kind of news is this?"
"Even if a banned artist has been banned, shouldn't the news be factual?"
"Is it really okay for these newspapers to say that? Isn't this misleading the masses!? "
"If they insist on writing it that way, then let's just see it that way. Ha, anyone in the know knows what's going on. Don't treat the commoners as fools!"
"This bunch of media outlets are deceiving themselves!"
"The report is so unbelievable, do you believe it yourselves?"
If Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's work had not been broadcasted live and had not caused such a huge commotion, everyone might have been fooled by the media reports. But now, as long as one paid attention to the National Crosstalk Competition, who wouldn't know of the trickery involved? This matter could no longer be hidden from anyone. Everyone knew about it, so the more the media acted like this, the more disgusted the people were!
Then, on Weibo, a self-proclaimed "critic" stood out.
This person was an internet celebrity. No one knew his real name or what he did for a living. In any case, he had a big mouth and often attacked celebrities and celebrities on the internet. Later on, as he scolded them, he had more than 200,000 followers on Weibo. As long as something happened recently, he would care about it.
His name was Alexander, "After watching 'I am a Scholar' crosstalk, I really don't understand what's wrong with Central TV's Department 11. They even dare to broadcast such a worthless crosstalk live? Was there an internal mistake? I think the relevant personnel should just take the blame and resign. You're getting paid, but you're not doing your job. What's the point of having you? This crosstalk really made me laugh, because it was too ugly. Crosstalk is an art. How did it become like this in the mouths of these two people? How can this still be called crosstalk!? All they care about is being funny? The most basic art of crosstalk can't be found at all? Isn't it embarrassing to bring out such a work!? And a few of the joke segments in it are simply unbearable. This is only because it was broadcasted on the internet. But no matter how much it is, it can't ruin crosstalk in such a manner. For them, I only have one evaluation — Low, Kitsch, Vulgar! "
Then, another famous critic posted on Weibo, "Decree # 43 has just been released. The document clearly states that any claptrap or the Three Vulgarities or other works should be boycotted. Crosstalk is naturally included. Decree # 43 is still hot, and Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai have already committed such a crime? Aren't they being too arrogant? I don't even want to evaluate this' I am a Scholar '. From the inside to the outside, it exudes a sense of vulgarity. It is not elegant. I suggest that Central TV's Department 11 and the organizers of the National Crosstalk and Skit Competition disqualify Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai from participating! "Following that, Tang Dazhang from the crosstalk world also posted.
He named names on Weibo, "For a work that insults the art of crosstalk to receive so much attention, I feel very disappointed and sad. Whether 'I am a Scholar' is funny or not, I will not evaluate it. But the art of crosstalk is not about being funny. Since our industry is called art, then it has its own mission and value. There is no need for you to trample on what our predecessors have left behind. A crosstalk work, no matter what, must have its most basic depth and breadth. It is full of vulgar and funny jokes. This is not called crosstalk, and our crosstalk world does not want to admit that it is called crosstalk!" Following that, another famous Chinese critic appeared, "Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's crosstalk has been done very well in commercialization.
After listening to it, there is indeed a train of thought that is worth learning from, but it is only a train of thought. For crosstalk to break through its current limitations and bottlenecks, it still relies on its core artistic value. Losing that is like losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed. Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai have taken too big a leap and have gone astray. It is a great pity. If a crosstalk master were to guide them, then the two of them might be able to return to the right path and not go further astray. I suggest that Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai take a look at Teacher Tang Dazhang's crosstalk work. That is the true art of crosstalk, so it is better to learn from the seniors.
The work should not be too vulgar! "With these people stepping forward, many official organizations also stepped forward!
For example, the Beijing Writers' Association's Vice President, Meng Dongguo, the Chinese Folk Arts Association's Leader, a few crosstalk artists from the crosstalk teams, and even many of the contestants participating in this year's crosstalk competition jumped out and shouted on the internet. They openly criticized Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai!
"Extremely vulgar!"
"What kind of crosstalk is this!?"
"How can such vulgar crosstalk get so many votes? It must have been bought. Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai have a lot of fans. They are entertainment celebrities, so it's normal for fans to buy votes for them. Compared to them, how can we crosstalk contestants compare? They did not win because of their work, but because of their huge number of fans. It's too disgraceful! I suggest that they be disqualified from the competition! "
"Right, letting Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai participate is unfair to us crosstalk actors. He is a national C-list celebrity, so how many fans does he have!?"
"Supporting Teacher Tang!"
"The few critics have said it so well!"
"That's right. They have also said what I wanted to say. Such a Three Vulgar crosstalk should be collectively boycotted by everyone! I'm just wondering. There are actually people who like such vulgar crosstalk? Do you have any artistic appreciation? Can't you tell the difference between elegance and vulgarity? "
"I don't understand either. What's wrong with the audience these days? There are so many excellent art works of crosstalk, yet they choose to like such a vulgar crosstalk? Hai, crosstalk these days is really getting harder to do. We study hard and do it seriously, but we can't even get recognition. Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai can casually come up with a crappy thing that's nothing, yet there are countless people chasing after it? Do the audience these days not know how to appreciate it? Anyway, I feel quite sad. I feel sad for our crosstalk, and also for this era. Hai! "
"Boycott Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai!"
"Right, boycott the vulgarity!"
"They only care about being funny! This kind of crosstalk is not presentable! "
The literary world, the crosstalk world, celebrities, related artists, and countless people came out to boycott Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai!
The ordinary people and the ordinary audience were applauding, but the official organizations and related people from the literary world were scolding Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai non-stop. One positive and one negative, one ice and one fire. The contrast was too great. They were watching the same work, yet there were two completely different opinions. Even some neutral people who saw this did not know what was going on. They had seen controversies before, but they had never seen one that was so controversial!
......
9 PM.
Jiaomen, Zhang Ye's house.
Zhang Ye had a meal at Old Yao's house and chatted for a while before returning home with Yao Jiancai. They had to hurry up and prepare for the second preliminary round of crosstalk tomorrow.
However, the moment they returned home, they saw a scene online. A bunch of people from the literary world, critics, and internet celebrities were denouncing them. Their words were agitated, as if Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai had a blood feud with them. All of them hated them to the bone!
Yao Jiancai cursed, "A bunch of mad dogs!"
Zhang Ye laughed, "The audience doesn't understand crosstalk? You blame the audience for the unpopularity of your own work? There's a saying in Beijing, 'If you can't shit, you'll have to rely on the toilet'. I think it's quite appropriate to give it to them. Oh, this Tang Dazhang has popped up again? I ignored him, yet he still won't stop, right? He repeatedly took the lead to trample on me? Alright, I'll remember that. And these few people, internet celebrities? Critics? Yes! "
Yao Jiancai said, "Ignore them. Let's talk properly!"
Zhang Ye chuckled, "Old Yao, I've already thought of what to say tomorrow."
Yao Jiancai was stunned, "Hur, when I asked you on the way back, you hadn't thought of it yet. You already have an idea?"
Yes, seeing their scolding, Zhang Ye's mind suddenly flashed with a work. He immediately made a decision. They had taken the initiative to send the work's material over! They had already ridden on top of them several times. If he did not bite back, it would not be Zhang Ye's style!
