Past 9 PM.
Zhang Ye was writing something when his cellphone, which was placed on his desk, lit up. As there were too many people calling him yesterday, he had already set it to silent mode, so it did not ring. Zhang Ye glanced at it. He did not intend to pick it up, but when he saw that it was Yao Jiancai's number, he took it from him.
"Old Yao?" He answered.
Yao Jiancai said, "Go online."
Zhang Ye asked, "Go online for what? What's the matter? "
"You'll know when you see it." Yao Jiancai's tone was filled with a sense of comfort, "The SARFT has made a supplement to the previous decree # 43, and has issued a new one."
Zhang Ye asked with interest, "What does it say?"
"Take a look for yourself." Yao Jiancai laughed heartily, "Thanks to you, at least half of this batch of banned celebrities will be able to be unbanned."
Zhang Ye said, "What about you?"
Yao Jiancai said, "I'm no longer on the list."
"Oh, that's great. Congratulations." Zhang Ye joked, "You can finally get rid of your 'whoremongering' title. When are you going to treat me?"
"Alright, you go handle your own matters first."
"Alright, I'll go online and check."
"When you're unbanned, let's have a good drink."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye opened Weibo and searched for the official verified Weibo account of the SARFT. Indeed, an article titled "Supplement to Decree # 43" was posted. On the newly released list of banned celebrities, Yao Jiancai's name was indeed no longer there. There were six other banned celebrities whose names were also missing. For example, the movie star who had held a press conference to apologize to the public on the first day of Decree # 43, and a singer who had publicly repented in an interview. With a glance, Zhang Ye's own name was still on the list.
It was starting to be unbanned?
On what basis was it unbanned?
It was very normal for Old Yao to be unbanned. His case was all groundless. It was because of the media's groundless accusations that Old Yao was put on the banned list. Now that the police had investigated the matter, if the banned list was updated, Yao Jiancai would definitely be the first to be unbanned. This was without a doubt. But what about the other people? Why were they like that? The misdeeds of these people seemed to have been determined by the unsealing of their coffins, right?
Reading further down, Zhang Ye finally understood.
It turned out that this additional explanation was to announce the conditions for "lifting the ban". Celebrities who had committed misdeeds in the past, or who had changed their behavior for more than three years after the incident and did not commit any further offenses, or who had committed minor offenses within three years from the date of the incident and had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, could fill in an application form and submit it to the SARFT's relevant department. The department's staff would then approve the application based on the specific circumstances and give a decision before announcing it to the public!
The application form to be revoked as a banned artist was also exposed.
Name: XX
Gender: XX
Age: XX
Entertainment Company: XX
After that, there was also a blank space called "self-reflection". Finally, there was the signature and date of signature.
Other than Yao Jiancai, the other celebrities who were no longer on the banned list had already committed misdeeds for more than three years and did not commit any further offenses. They had also admitted their mistakes on different occasions and had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, so they were all included in the list of those who had committed minor offenses within three years. There was even one celebrity who had only committed misdeeds a year ago. But because he was a prostitute and was single at the time of the incident, he was given a chance to turn over a new leaf. This was one of the cases mentioned in the supplementary explanation where the case was less than three years ago but the offense was minor. As a result, the approval for the revocation of the ban was also taken. This was the general gist of the supplementary explanation.
This was the general gist of the supplementary explanation document. After Zhang Ye finished reading it, he had an idea of what was going on. No wonder Old Yao said that it was all thanks to him. The timing of the supplementary explanation document was a little ambiguous. From the looks of it, almost half of the artists on the first batch of banned artists had fulfilled the conditions to submit an application to be unbanned. This included Zhang Ye, who had only beaten someone up. Or it could be said that Zhang Ye had a strong feeling that this supplementary explanation document was purely targeted at him!
Why did he say that?
It was because of the few celebrities who had their bans lifted from the banned list!
This supplementary explanation was clearly just released and the application form had only just been exposed. Those celebrities who had their bans lifted could not have filled in the application form beforehand. Yao Jiancai did not mention anything about it on the phone either. If Old Yao had filled in the application form for lifting the ban, he would definitely have informed Zhang Ye beforehand. From this, it could be seen that the other celebrities who had their bans lifted would definitely have done the same. Then why did they not need to submit an application form to be removed from the banned list, while Zhang Ye's name was still on it and not lifted? Was it because Zhang Ye did not publicly apologize after the incident? But that didn't seem to be the case. If a public apology could replace the application form, then why did this supplementary explanation have to be written so clearly? It was clearly stated in the prescribed procedure? But it just so happened that when it came to lifting the ban on the other celebrities, it did not seem like they placed much importance on the application form. Old Yao and the others did not even fill in the form and had their bans lifted so quickly!
Unreasonable?
That meant that there was something fishy going on!
This document seemed to be shouting for Zhang Ye to submit an application. It seemed like it was only targeted at him and the other banned celebrities did not seem important.
Zhang Ye understood the reason. Why were the higher-ups targeting him? Logically speaking, on the banned list, Zhang Ye did not have the most fans. There were several million fans on the list, nor was he the most famous. There were even former B-list movie stars on the list. He was also not the one with the most serious misdeeds, as there were even drug and drug abusers on the list. Therefore, he should not have been targeted so heavily. But the problem was that Zhang Ye was more outstanding than the other banned celebrities on the list for one thing — this fellow was the one who was the most troublemaker!
That "Bamboos on the Rocks"!
That poem by Li Bai!
Causing trouble at Central TV with those crosstalk jokes and allusions to Legend of Wukong!
Ever since he was banned, Zhang Ye's resistance had never stopped. Time and time again, he went up against the wind and caused a bigger commotion each time. He was a classic example of a thorn in the side. His actions had clearly caused quite an impact and probably caused many people and departments to grit their teeth in frustration. This was the reason why he was being targeted. This was also the deeper purpose of this supplementary document!
They wanted to lift Zhang Ye's ban!
They also wanted to enlist Zhang Ye!
But the prerequisite was that Zhang Ye had to compromise a little. He had to fill out the application form properly and submit it to the SARFT for approval. He also had to sincerely write a letter of guarantee. Yesterday, Zhang Ye had solved an international math problem, so there was no way he could be suppressed any longer. It was also not suitable for him to be suppressed like this. But if he was immediately unbanned, some people would lose their face and would need to find a way out of this embarrassing situation. They would need to find a way out of this embarrassing situation without being criticized by others. As such, this was the reason why the current situation was happening.
......
When this document was released, it also caused a huge reaction on the internet!
"Wow!"
"Teacher Yao's ban has been lifted?"
"That's great! Teacher Zhang Ye is coming back!"
"Haha, I'm so excited. The SARFT has finally relented. I thought that Teacher Zhang would be banned for life, but from the looks of it now, it won't be long before Teacher Zhang returns to the entertainment circle. All he needs to do is fill out that application form? It's so simple. Teacher Zhang, quickly write it down. Your case is just a minor one. You only beat someone up but didn't cause any serious injuries. The matter is already over. You've even contributed so much to the country's mathematics world, so as long as you fill out the application form, the higher-ups will definitely agree to lift your ban! "
"Hooray! We can finally see hope! "
Many of Zhang Ye's fans were cheering. After holding it in for so long, Teacher Zhang was finally getting back with his own hard work. How could they not be excited?
But there were also a lot of people who understood what was going on.
"You guys are thinking too simply!"
"There's a problem with this. Why did they release the supplementary explanation at this time? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? They're clearly targeting Zhang Ye. They know that they can't ban Zhang Ye anymore, but they can't afford to lose face. That's why they're doing this to get Zhang Ye to compromise. "
"I can see that too. But no matter what, work is still more important. It's just a simple application form. It's not a big deal."
"But Zhang Ye has expressed before that he never felt that he did anything wrong when he tried to stop Lee Anson. Now, it's a little difficult for him to write an application form to admit to his previous misdeeds. It's not like everyone doesn't know about Zhang Ye's temper, so it's really not certain."
"Surely not? Teacher Zhang can't be that inflexible, right? "
"Right, it's just an application form. It's not really a self-reflection letter. He can just pretend to be nice and let it go."
At this moment, a D-list celebrity named Wu Shaoan posted on Weibo. He used a screenshot of his application form and attached the following words: "The application has been sent out. I recognize the seriousness of the problem and promise not to commit it again. I request to lift the ban."
The netizens were discussing it.
"Ah?"
"They've sent it out so quickly?"
"They're moving really quickly."
A few minutes later, another celebrity on the list sent out an application form. He did not post the contents of the application form and only posted a sentence on Weibo.
The third one...
The fifth one...
The seventh one...
These banned celebrities had been banned for so many days and could no longer hold themselves back. Seeing that there was a chance for their bans to be lifted, they would definitely grab hold of it. Even an artist who had planned to retire from the entertainment industry to start his own business after hearing about the ban, immediately came back when he saw this document. He printed out the application form and quickly filled it out before sending it to the relevant departments of the SARFT, hoping that it would be approved.
Eight people!
Ten people!
The number of applications was increasing.
The SARFT also issued a statement: "Upon receipt of the application, the relevant departments will immediately process it. In principle, they will reply within seven working days."
Some of the banned celebrities who knew that they had no hope of getting their bans lifted also sent out their applications, hoping for a miracle. Even if it didn't happen, they wanted to express their attitude and hope that their next application would be approved smoothly so as to leave a good impression on the higher-ups.
But only one person did not move!
Zhang Ye did not show his face at all!
"Where's Teacher Zhang?"
"Damn, did Zhang Ye not see it?"
"That can't be. How could he not know about such an important matter!"
"Zhang Ye, hurry up and come out!"
"@ ZhangYe, stop messing around. Hurry up and submit the application!"
"Yeah, Teacher Zhang Ye, stop bickering. It won't do anyone any good if you keep bickering with them. Let's get past this hurdle first. We can talk about it again after you've obtained the qualifications to enter the entertainment circle!"
"Yeah, let's not fight with them for now! Lifting the ban is more important! "
The SARFT was paying attention, the media was paying attention, and countless commoners were also paying attention!
The news headlines for the past two days were basically all about Zhang Ye. As he was in the eye of the storm, topics related to Zhang Ye were also the focus of attention. Therefore, when this supplementary document was released, it was also hyped up by some of the media outlets. What was lacking now was the main character coming forward. Everyone was waiting for Zhang Ye to express his stance!
At 10: 05 PM, there was finally some activity on Zhang Ye's Weibo!
"It's here!"
"Ah!"
"Zhang Ye has appeared!"
"Quick, let's go and have a look! Has he submitted the application form? "
Countless people swarmed over and opened up Zhang Ye's Weibo page!
Then, all of the media and netizens were dumbfounded when they saw the words on the page. It was a famous quote from a great person that they had never seen before in Zhang Ye's previous world.
Zhang Ye lightly wrote on Weibo:
"Fighting against the heavens.
"Fighting against the earth.
"Fighting against man.
"Endless joy!"
