The next day.
At around 5 AM, the sky was still dark.
No one knew who had exposed this matter on the Internet.
Following that, a well-known online media outlet also published a piece of news: According to a Central TV employee who wishes to remain anonymous, the honeymoon relationship between Central TV Department 1 and Zhang Ye has come to an end. Yesterday, due to the issue with the overseas copyright, Zhang Ye's salary has been suspended. Zhang Ye had an altercation with the leaders of Department 1 and a staff member of the Finance Department, and was even singled out by Central TV for criticism. As Zhang Ye's contract with Central TV still has another nine months to go, his position at Central TV Department 1 has suddenly become rather awkward. The new program with a production budget of 80 million RMB is likely to be delayed because of this, and there are also some uncertainties regarding the candidate for the project leader.
Following that, another report was published!
"Central TV Department 1 reneges on the contract for The Voice's overseas copyright?"
"Zhang Ye wreaks havoc at Central TV's Finance Department!"
"New program could be aborted?"
"Salary arrears? Is this for real? "
"An American production company has already negotiated with Central TV for the overseas copyright of The Voice?"
"Zhang Ye has been at Central TV for three months, yet another situation arises!"
Early in the morning, before many of the office workers had even woken up from their sleep, news regarding Zhang Ye and Central TV had already flooded the internet.
"What?"
"Wasn't everything fine yesterday? Wasn't there still talk of a new program? "
"Teacher Zhang's salary has been suspended?"
"Damn, this sounds like something big is about to happen!"
"Based on my understanding of Teacher Zhang, I have a feeling that something big is about to happen!"
"It can't be. Didn't you see that Teacher Zhang still has nine months left on his contract? If he really falls out with Central TV, what will happen to him for the remaining nine months? Central TV has no lack of freezes for hosts! There were at least a dozen of them. If things really got out of hand, Zhang Ye would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being put on the shelf. Would he just have to foolishly stay at Central TV for the next nine months and not be able to go on any programs or do any work? I feel that no matter what, Teacher Zhang will definitely consider this point. After all, he still has a new program waiting for him, so he should know what's more important. "
"At most, he'll just resign!"
"Yeah, there are a lot of television stations that want Zhang Ye, so someone will definitely pay him the liquidated damages!"
"That's easy for you to say. Let's not talk about whether he can resign or whether Central TV Department 1 will let him go. Even if he were to resign, that would mean that Zhang Ye had breached the contract first. Wouldn't that mean that all the copyrights of The Voice that he had in his hands would be gone? Ignoring the overseas copyrights of The Voice, Zhang Ye did not even have the qualifications to produce a second season of The Voice anymore. As long as he resigned, all of that would belong to Central TV Department 1. They could always find someone else to produce a second season of The Voice next year. As for a third season, it would be a wonder if Zhang Ye would agree to it! He definitely has to hold such a phenomenal variety show in his hands! "
"That's true."
"This is really troublesome!"
"Why does Teacher Zhang have to get involved in everything!"
"Previous poster, let me tell you why. Actually, it's not that Teacher Zhang likes to stir up trouble, it's just that he's too straightforward. He says what he wants and does what he wants. He doesn't play games at all, and he doesn't know how to flatter others. Naturally, it's easy for conflicts to escalate. If it were anyone else, they would have obediently handed over the copyright to Central TV a long time ago, and things wouldn't have ended up like this."
"I like Zhang Ye's hot temper! I like it! "
"In the entire entertainment industry, there aren't many people with such a straightforward temperament!"
At around 7 PM.
Central TV Department 1's official Weibo issued an urgent clarification, denying the matter of The Voice's overseas copyrights and Zhang Ye's salary suspension!
Some people believed it.
"I knew it was just a rumor."
"Yeah, it's obvious that the salary arrears are fake. Central TV Department 1 is such a big department, why would they care about your salary? How is that possible! It doesn't make any sense at all! "
But there were also a lot of people who did not believe it.
"If everything could be explained logically, then there wouldn't be so many problems in the world!"
"It must be true. The informant has already stated it so clearly!"
"For the sake of benefits, some people will do anything. It's not surprising at all!"
"Hai, the problem now is that Zhang Ye signed a one-year contract this time, and the benefits involved are much more complicated. So even if Central TV Department 1 suspends his salary, what can he do? Zhang Ye doesn't have any tricks up his sleeves. Central TV Department 1 is probably still in the process of punishing him. But if Zhang Ye really puts up a fierce resistance, then it won't just be punishing him anymore. He will definitely be frozen. Furthermore, the frozen status of Central TV is different from the frozen status of other television stations. You have to know the status of Central TV in the industry! It's even possible that Zhang Ye won't be able to appear on television in the future. This has happened before. Didn't Old Liao and Old Yan also end up like this? "
"Let's wait and see how Zhang Ye will handle this."
"Hai, I guess we can only swallow our anger for now."
"Yeah, there's no solution to this!"
"Zhang Ye is indeed in quite a predicament this time. Because the situation is different, I don't think he will handle this like he did in the past. Otherwise, it would really be a life-and-death struggle!"
...
Later that morning.
On the way to the office, Zhang Ye received many calls.
Yao Jiancai was the first to call. "What happened again? Is what the news said true? Or is it just a rumor? "
"It's true." Zhang Ye laughed.
"You're still in the mood to laugh?" Yao Jiancai said in a speechless manner, "That's Central TV Department 1 we're talking about. There's also the term of your contract, so you better think about it. You have to handle this matter carefully."
Zhang Ye said, "I understand."
Only then did Yao Jiancai feel relieved. "Alright then."
Then it was a call from the singer, Chen Guang.
Old Chen said, "You've fallen out with Central TV Department 1?"
Zhang Ye chuckled. "More or less."
"If you had a program contract, then it would be fine. You would be a free agent after finishing your show. But that's not the case with your current contract, so you have to be careful. From what I understand, Central TV Department 1 has never been lenient towards their artists. If they want to ban you, then they'll just ban you. That's no laughing matter." Old Chen reminded him, "Actually, they're still begging you now. Because of your program production skills, no one in Central TV Department 1 can replace you. So under normal circumstances, they won't do anything to you. But the prerequisite is that you don't act rashly and hit them."
Zhang Ye said, "I know, Old Chen. I'm not that stupid."
"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing." Chen Guang hung up.
The last call he received was from Wu Zeqing.
Old Wu's first words were: "The kittens and puppies are jumping around again? Hur hur, I understand. You don't have to worry about this anymore. I'll settle it for you. "
However, Zhang Ye immediately said, "Old Wu, don't worry about it. I'll handle it myself."
Old Wu said gently, "Just listen to me, alright?"
"I really can't listen to you on this." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I have my own style and principles when I do things. When I need your help, I will definitely not stand on ceremony with you. But not now."
Old Wu asked, "Then what are you planning to do?"
"I'll just do whatever I need to do." Zhang Ye smiled.
...
At the office.
The Central TV staff were looking at Zhang Ye with a strange look in their eyes.
But Zhang Ye did not say anything and just carried on with his work. After returning to his office, he did not come out at all. Even Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others did not see Zhang Ye for an entire day.
Little Wang blinked. "Director Zhang is really behaving strangely."
Ha Qiqi also said, "A little."
Zhang Zuo sighed. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. What else could he say? Even for someone like Zhang Ye, he had no choice but to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof. What else could he do but remain silent?
It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhang Ye left his office and left Central TV Tower. No one knew where he went and he did not return.
Everyone at Central TV was discussing this.
"There's no news from Zhang Ye today?"
"Yeah, I thought he was going to have a big argument with the leaders again."
"Does he not want his salary anymore? He's not going to cause trouble for the Finance Department today? "
"What trouble? At most, he'll just scold them a little to vent his anger. Central TV Department 1 is clearly not paying him his salary and is trying to intimidate him. What can Teacher Zhang do about it? Can he really break off relations with Central TV Department 1? If things really get to this point, wouldn't Teacher Zhang have nothing to eat? He wouldn't do something like that. "
"That's true."
"Now that Zhang Ye has gone silent, the matter won't be far from being resolved."
"Yeah, since he's not saying anything or causing trouble, it also means that he has made his stance clear."
In Jiang Yuan's office.
He looked for his secretary. "Who did Zhang Ye scold today?"
The secretary said, "No one. He was in the office the entire day and seemed to have left just now. I don't know if he left early or if he took a leave of absence."
Jiang Yuan was taken aback. "There's no news from him at all?"
"There really wasn't. It was extremely quiet," the secretary said.
Jiang Yuan laughed and felt that there should be no more problems. "That's more like it. Alright, make an appointment with Zhang Ye tomorrow and have him come to my office in the morning. I'll talk to him about changing the contract."
The secretary also smiled and said, "OK."
...
At night.
Countless reporters called to interview Zhang Ye, but none of them managed to get an interview with him. It was as though Zhang Ye had suddenly turned into a different person as he suddenly fell silent!
The reporters were all speculating!
The netizens were all discussing this!
"Why didn't Zhang Ye say anything?"
"This isn't Teacher Zhang's style!"
"Say my ass! He's already giving in, can't you tell? "
"Hai, if Zhang Ye continues to pester them, not only will he not get a single cent of his salary back, he'll even lose the new show. Compared to a salary of a few thousand yuan and a show worth tens of millions, which one is more important? It's not worth it at all! At most, he'll try to negotiate with Central TV Department 1 for a higher copyright fee before transferring the overseas copyright to them. "
"The silent Zhang Ye? I'm really not used to that! "
"It's very normal. This is society. There are a lot of things that we can't fight against! We can only endure it! "
"How f * * ked up!"
The netizens were all sighing.
At Central TV Department 1, the staff had already started drafting up Zhang Ye's new contract according to their leaders' instructions.
Some of Zhang Ye's friends, colleagues, and people from the entertainment industry also knew that this matter had come to an end.
But unfortunately, the development of the matter was completely different from what everyone had expected!
At this moment, on this very night, an explosive piece of news that shook the entire entertainment industry suddenly exploded without any warning!
When the news came out!
The netizens were stunned!
Central TV was stunned!
The entertainment industry was stunned!
The entire country's citizens were stunned!
Zhang Ye had sued Central TV Department 1 in court! He was requesting for Central TV Department 1 to pay him the 8,661 yuan of salary owed to him, as well as 100 million yuan in compensation!!!
At this moment, countless people realized one thing!
Silence can sometimes be deafening!!
