At Old Yao's house.
After Yao Mi and a few of her female classmates saw Weibo online, they were all clutching their stomachs and laughing non-stop.
"Pfft!"
"Hahahaha!"
"I knew it! I knew it! "
Yao Jiancai's wife asked curiously, "What are you all laughing about?"
Yao Jiancai put down his wine glass and looked over. "What's the matter?"
"Dad, Mom, guess what Uncle Zhang's ranking is?" Yao Mi said with a grin.
Yao Mi laughed and said, "What poll?"
Yao Mi said, "It's definitely the Most Unpopular Celebrity Rankings!"
Yao Mi glanced at Zhang Ye and said in amusement, "He's definitely in first place, right?"
Zhang Ye: "…"
Yao Mi slapped her thigh and laughed heartily. "Mom, you're amazing!"
Yao Jiancai couldn't help but laugh and said, "How is this amazing? Other than Zhang Ye, who else can be the most unpopular celebrity in the domestic entertainment circle? Who else can be compared to him! "
Little Yu said, "And the votes are not just a little bit off. It's a crushing first place! Two hundred and seventy-five … No, it was already two million and nine hundred thousand votes! It's still rising! "
Zhang Ye was speechless. He curled his lips and said, "What's the point of this stupid poll? It's just a random poll."
Yao Jiancai disagreed and said, "Haha, how is it a random poll? This is the voice of the people. I think that Weibo's annual poll is very authoritative."
Suddenly, Yiling shouted out of the blue, "Wow, Uncle Yao, your votes on the Most Unpopular Celebrity Rankings have increased too! It's rising too quickly! Y-you're already in third place!"
Yao Jiancai was taken aback and immediately cursed, "What kind of stupid poll is this! It's just a random poll! "
Yao Jiancai joked, "Old Yao, that's not what you said just now!"
Yao Jiancai said gloomily, "I was dragged down by Little Zhang today!"
Everyone was amused!
Originally, Yao Jiancai would not have gotten on this poll. Whether it was the popular poll or the unpopular poll, it all depended on one's Weibo followers and Weibo popularity. Yao Jiancai's popularity on Weibo was indeed average, so he wouldn't have gotten on it under normal circumstances. But this morning's exposure of "I Want to Get on the Spring Festival Gala" had pushed him and Zhang Ye into the eye of the storm. The mainstream crosstalk world and a lot of people were flaming them, and even Yao Jiancai was included in this unpopular poll!
...
Online.
As the competition for the rankings became more intense, many celebrities also posted on Weibo.
Dong Shanshan's Weibo: "Asking for votes, asking for votes. My friends who are online, please vote for me. Let's see if I can get into the top 100 of Weibo's Most Popular Celebrity Rankings this year. As for the Least Popular Celebrity Rankings, don't vote for me. That's Teacher Zhang's territory, so I won't fight with him for it, haha."
Dong Shanshan's fans were also delighted to see this.
"Teacher Shanshan, is it really alright for you to do this?"
"Haha, I've also slandered your old classmate!"
"This is what it means to be classmates!"
"I'm cramping up from laughing!"
The leader of China's most famous idol trio, Dongzi, posted on Weibo: "Requesting for the most popular votes. Everyone, please vote for Teacher Zhang as well. I had a favor to ask for from Teacher Zhang previously, so in order to thank him for his help, please vote for Teacher Zhang. Don't waste the most unpopular votes!"
Dong Zi's fans were also quite active.
"Hahaha, Dong Dong is so bad!"
"Dong Dong is here to add insult to injury! Smile! "
"Eh, this is the first time I found out that Teacher Dongdong knows Zhang Ye!"
"Teacher Zhang Ye helped Teacher Dongdong? So Zhang Ye is such a loyal friend. Then we must definitely vote for him! "
"Man, I always thought that Zhang Ye did not have any friends in the entertainment industry. So it turns out that he knows Teacher Dongdong!"
Dongzi was a member of the Celebrity Goof Group that Zhang Ye had joined. Her relative was thinking of getting into Peking University this year, so she had asked Zhang Ye to help her ask around. That was how they got to know each other.
Chen Guang's Weibo: "Man, Zhang Ye is in first place again this year? Impressive! "
His wife, Fan Wenli's Weibo: "Teacher Little Zhang has taken over Weibo's annual Most Unpopular Celebrity Rankings. From today onward, I don't think there will be anyone else in first place! Congratulations! Congratulations! "
All sorts of celebrities had come to support him.
When the netizens saw how amusing Zhang Ye's friends were, they were also overjoyed!
"Just look at Zhang Ye's popularity!"
"Pfft, all his friends are slandering him! Hahaha! "
"He's in first place again! Teacher Zhang, just how bad is your reputation! "
"Teacher Fan Wenli is right. This ranking will be dominated by Teacher Zhang Ye for a long time to come. And if there are no accidents this year, Zhang Ye will be the first person in the history of Weibo to be crowned the most unpopular celebrity of the year! Teacher Zhang has broken yet another record! "
"This is so fun!"
"I'm going to vote for Zhang Ye too!"
"Haha, count me in. I want to see how many votes Teacher Zhang can get!"
"Pfft, he's already at 3 million votes!"
"This is so awesome! So awesome! "
"Even the universe can't stop Zhang Ye anymore!"
"Everyone, let's vote! If he's not popular, so be it. Our Teacher Zhang never takes the normal path anyway! If he wants to be, then he wants to be the one and only celebrity in the entertainment industry! Even if he has to go down the path of an antagonist, he wants to be the brightest one! Who cares who your mother is! "
"Well said!"
"Haha, let's vote!"
"I'm here to join in the fun!"
Many of those who didn't like Zhang Ye nearly vomited blood when they saw this. Many of them had voted for Zhang Ye because they really didn't like him and wanted to slander him. But with these celebrities and Zhang Ye's fans messing around, the entire atmosphere changed. It was clearly the most unpopular celebrity of the year, but Zhang Ye's fans made it sound like it was something glorious! They didn't even feel ashamed of it and even felt proud of it! No wonder, no wonder the type of celebrity would have the same type of fans. This bunch of fans were just like Zhang Ye, only wishing for the world to be in chaos!
3.5 million votes!
4 million votes!
5 million votes!
As the voting continued, the disparity in the number of votes became more and more obvious.
…
At midnight, the latest official Celebrity Rankings Index was updated!
The latest rankings showed that there were no changes to the S-list and A-list celebrity rankings. But there was a change in the B-list rankings!
Zhang Ye's ranking had moved up another spot!
He had moved up to fourth place in the B-list rankings!
This was the accumulation of popularity from the recent broadcast of A Bite of China, the exposure of his crosstalk performance, I Want to Get on the Spring Festival Gala, and this year's annual Weibo poll. With all of these factors accumulating, Zhang Ye's popularity had soared a while ago. Now, he had moved up another spot and was getting closer and closer to the A-list celebrity rankings!
The fans were jubilant!
"Quick, take a look!"
"Teacher Zhang is mighty!"
"Damn, he's about to enter the top three of the B-list rankings!"
"Awesome!"
"Zhang Ye's popularity has increased again!"
"When A Bite of China finishes its broadcast, he won't be far from the A-list!"
"The people of Beijing send their congratulations!"
"The people of Guangxi send their congratulations!"
This was something no one could have expected!
This was all the popularity that Zhang Ye had "scolded"!
