At the entrance of the main venue.
A lot of people were stunned!
Yan Tianfei's expression sank. "What did you say?"
That staff member repeated, "Teacher Zhang Ye cannot attend this annual staff party."
Ha Qiqi was annoyed. "Based on what!"
Zhang Zuo also said angrily, "Why can't our Director Zhang attend?"
"This is what the station head instructed us to do." That staff member said, "We're just following the instructions of our leader. As for the rest, we don't know. So sorry, Teacher Zhang, but we'll have to take back your entry pass."
Zhang Ye was amused. "What if I insist on going in?"
Several of the staff members hesitated.
One of them said, "This …"
Zhang Ye said calmly, "Are you guys going to drag me out, or are you going to carry me out?"
Another staff member subconsciously took a step back. Who didn't know of Zhang Ye's notoriety!
Yan Tianfei shouted, "Get your person-in-charge out here!"
Actually, the person-in-charge of this annual staff party had been in the crowd not too far away. He knew that this matter was going to be troublesome, so he wanted to hide and not come out. But when he saw that an argument had broken out, he couldn't hide anymore and could only hurry over. "Old Yan, what's the matter? Why are you so angry? "
Yan Tianfei shouted, "What do you think is the matter!"
That person-in-charge said, "I also just received the notice."
Yan Tianfei's temper was well-known at Central TV. He did not bother to lower his voice and shouted so loudly that everyone around could hear him. "You guys didn't inform us earlier or later, but waited until our people were about to enter the venue to stop us from entering? Who are you guys giving us that look? Who are you trying to intimidate? "
That person-in-charge said, "This is an instruction from the station head!"
"I don't fucking care whose instruction it is!" Yan Tianfei scolded, "What are you doing on the New Year's Eve? Who are you trying to humiliate? Is this how you do things? "
The person-in-charge said, "Old Yan, why are you shouting at me!"
Yan Tianfei pointed at him and said, "I'm shouting at you, so what are you going to do about it!"
That person-in-charge was not happy about it and started arguing with Yan Tianfei at the entrance!
With their shouts, everyone at the venue heard about it. Many of the department heads and staff had yet to enter the venue and were queuing up outside. When they looked up, they could see that even those Central TV staff who had entered the venue had their heads peeking out when they heard the commotion outside.
More and more people gathered to watch the commotion.
Central TV Department 1's Director Jiang Naixiong.
The deputy director of Central TV Department 5.
Central TV Variety Channel's Zhang Huo.
Everyone's eyes focused on him.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
"Zhang Ye has been stopped outside."
"Ah?"
"I heard that it was a notice from the station to not allow him to participate!"
"Today is the annual meeting. It only happens once a year. It can't be, right?"
"Why not? Can't you see that a fight is about to break out outside?"
"Aiyo, it's true!"
"They're really not letting Zhang Ye participate?"
The employees chattered in low voices.
Yan Tianfei said angrily, "Old He, don't play games with me. Little Zhang is the executive director and person-in-charge of Department 14's only program team, so why shouldn't he be allowed in? Huh? "
The person in charge said, "Are you saying that I passed a fake imperial edict?"
But at this moment, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Ye took off the pass hanging around his neck and threw it to a staff member with a smile. Then he turned to Yan Tianfei and said, "Director Yan, forget it. If you don't want to participate, then so be it. I'll go home and catch up on my sleep."
But Yan Tianfei said loudly, "I won't let this matter rest!"
"Director Zhang, don't leave!" Ha Qiqi was also getting anxious today.
"Right, Director Zhang!"
"If you leave, I'll leave too!"
"We're all not participating!"
"Fuck! Isn't this bullying! "
The people of Department 14 were all shouting and yelling!
It was not that Zhang Ye was in a good mood today. Based on his character, if he were to encounter such a situation, he would have fought with them long ago. But that was only when it concerned him alone. If it were just him alone, Zhang Ye would not feel that it was a big deal even if he poked a hole in the sky. He would be able to take responsibility for it. But today, this matter was directed at him. Yan Tianfei and his program team's staff had rushed ahead of him, so Zhang Ye did not want to cause trouble for others because of his own matter.
But Yan Tianfei grabbed Zhang Ye by the shoulder and refused to let him go.
Seeing this, Zhang Ye was honestly quite touched. With so many people risking their lives to worry about him, there was no reason for Zhang Ye to back down!
A moment later, someone came out.
It was the assistant of a deputy station head of Central TV.
That assistant was quite unreasonable. When he came out, he shouted at the people around him, "What are you all watching for! The annual staff party is about to begin! Hurry up and get in! "
Only then did the staff line up to get in. However, they walked very slowly, turning their heads with every step they took. They were still paying attention to what was going on.
The assistant walked up to the people of Department 14. "Director Yan, don't tell me you don't know what day it is today? There are so many people here, so can we leave some face for ourselves? "
Yan Tianfei looked at him coldly and said, "Leave some face for you all, but who's going to leave some face for me?"
The assistant said, "This matter was decided by the leaders during a meeting. The reason is very simple. First, Zhang Ye did not get the approval of the station and attended Beijing Television Station's Spring Festival Gala without permission. That's against the rules. Second, as an employee of Central TV, Zhang Ye maliciously slandered the Central TV Station's Spring Festival Gala production team and related programs during the rehearsal. That's also against the rules. Combining these two points, the station has just decided on Zhang Ye's punishment. This month's bonus and last year's year-end bonus will all be deducted. His basic salary will be reduced by one grade, and he will be punished internally. He will also be banned from attending the year-end party. That's it! "
Reduced salary?
His bonus would all be deducted?
This punishment could not be considered small!
Moreover, a lot of the people around knew very well that because of A Bite of China, Zhang Ye's bonus was definitely not on the same level as the average employee's. It would definitely be more than six figures, or even seven figures. To anyone or even a department, this was considered a lot of money.
Yan Tianfei was just about to speak.
Zhang Ye directly answered, "I also have three points to make."
The assistant looked at him. "Go ahead."
"First." Zhang Ye said to him, "Who are you?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The assistant's expression immediately changed!
Who am I?
You don't know me?
The assistant felt that Zhang Ye was doing this on purpose. Actually, Zhang Ye really did not know him. He did not even know all of the deputy station heads in the station, much less the first assistant of a deputy station head.
Zhang Ye said, "Second, my contract is a freelance contract. I can participate in any local television station's Spring Festival Gala or perform any of my works without anyone's consent. No one has the right to interfere. Third, all of the crosstalk works are fictitious. If you insist on making it your own, then there's nothing I can do about it. Even if I were to take a step back and say that I really did discredit Central TV's Spring Festival Gala and some of the other programs, that was just a method and technique for me to showcase my works. If all of these are problematic, then I would like to ask if the Spring Festival Gala's production team and some of the related staff members of the Spring Festival Gala's Spring Festival Gala's production team had previously slandered me on Weibo and other public occasions. Does that count as a violation of the rules? Should I be punished? There's no reason that just because others slandered me, Zhang Ye, that they can say anything they want, but I can't just say a few words in a fake program! Is this a double standard? "
In fact, before he performed the crosstalk of "I Want to Get on the Spring Festival Gala," Zhang Ye had no intention of performing it at all. But faced with the scolding from the crosstalk world, the public criticism from some people at Central TV, and the "Spring Festival Gala's Spring Festival Gala will never invite Zhang Ye" that he decided to perform the crosstalk at the last minute. Having been stepped on by others, he had no reason not to fight back!
You can scold me, but I can't say anything about you?
Do you think you're the Heavenly King?!
That assistant said, "I'll say it again. This is the station's decision. Whatever you say now is useless. You are prohibited from participating in this year's annual staff party!"
Yan Tianfei retorted, "Why was I not informed of the station's decision?"
The assistant said stiffly, "They might not have been informed before, but they have been informed now!"
But Yan Tianfei said, "I'm Zhang Ye's supervisor. Deduct his bonus? Punish him? Did you inform me in advance? Did I agree to it? If I don't agree to it, then no one can think of deducting Little Zhang's bonus! No one has the right to prohibit a meritorious person from participating in the annual staff party! "He repeated loudly," It doesn't matter whose instructions it is! "
If Zhang Ye was the person with the worst reputation in Central TV right now, then Yan Tianfei was undoubtedly the second worst. Many of the veteran staff at Central TV knew of Yan Tianfei's temper, so they were not surprised by his words. In the past, it wasn't as if Old Yan had never lashed out at the station heads before!
In the crowd, there was a deputy director of Department 11 who had a good relationship with Yan Tianfei. He was also the department head who had lent them the HD video camera during the filming of A Bite of China.
After listening for a while, Deputy Director Cha also said, "Assistant Hao, don't blame the people of Department 14 for being emotional. This matter is indeed not right. Their A Bite of China is currently the number one show in the national viewership ratings and has broken many records. It even won the highest award in the documentary industry, and Director Zhang's contributions cannot go unnoticed. As for the punishment, it's fine to just circulate a notice of criticism, but that's a different matter altogether. They can't just erase his contributions, can they? It's the new year, so surely Director Zhang can't be banned from attending the annual staff party, right? That would be a little too unreasonable. "
Behind them, another department head from another department said, "Yeah, just how big of a grudge does he have that he can't even attend the annual staff party? And he even had to chase him away at the main entrance in front of so many people? "
Yan Tianfei did not have many friends, and Zhang Ye had even fewer. As a result, there were only two or three middle and upper management staff who spoke up for them, while the rest of them tried to smooth things over.
A person in charge of Central TV Department 3 said, "Stop arguing. It's not easy for anyone."
A person in charge of Central TV's Foreign Language Channel said, "Old Yan, Teacher Little Zhang, please calm down. The leaders are all inside, so it won't be good for you."
Central TV Department 1's Deputy Director Jiang Naixiong and Jiang Yuan walked out of the venue.
Jiang Naixiong said, "Old Yan, are you not going to care about the station's punishment?"
Yan Tianfei looked at him and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Although Central TV's Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on Central TV Department 1, it did not really have much to do with Central TV Department 1. This was because every year, the Spring Festival Gala would have its own program team, with the people on it being transferred from the various departments. Some of them were even hired from outside, so it was an independent program team.
His words ignited Jiang Naixiong's anger. "How can you say that! The punishment has already been meted out, so what are you all still arguing about! "
As they spoke, they started arguing again!
The situation outside the venue was getting out of hand!
At this moment, Deputy Station Head Zhou, who was inside, heard the news and walked out with a dark expression. "What's going on? What are you all arguing about? Look at the time! Aren't you all going in? "
Yan Tianfei said, "It's not that we don't want to go in, but that someone is not letting us in!"
Deputy Station Head Zhou frowned. "Who's not letting you in?"
Yan Tianfei said, "Not letting Little Zhang participate in the annual gala is equivalent to not letting anyone from Department 14 attend!"
Ha Qiqi said, "Right, we're not going to participate!"
Zhang Zuo shouted, "Where is Director Zhang, we will be there!"
"This is too unreasonable!"
"We will advance and retreat together with Director Zhang!"
"Director Yan is right!"
"Not letting Director Zhang in is equivalent to not letting us in!"
With Yan Tianfei's words, the people of Department 14 were naturally united against a common enemy. Everyone was also holding back their anger. This matter was really too much of a bully!
Behind them, another deputy station head came out and said with a straight face, "What are you all doing? What are you all doing? Old Yan, you're also an old comrade, so why is your ideological awareness still so low? "
Yan Tianfei said, "My awareness is really not high enough! Little Zhang has been at Central TV for half a year now and has done both The Voice and A Bite of China. The results of those shows are obvious to everyone, but look at what happened in the end? He was constantly being schemed against within his own station! He was being suppressed in every way! There was credit, but no reward, and the credit was even turned into a punishment in the end? In the past, when Teacher Little Zhang was at Central TV Department 1, I couldn't do anything about it. But now that Little Zhang is at Department 14, I can do something about it! "
Everyone could tell that Yan Tianfei had really flipped out today. Otherwise, he would not have said such things on such an occasion!
Zhang Ye looked at them and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I participate in this annual gala or not. But this is not how things should be handled. Just because my crosstalk satirized the Spring Festival Gala, does that mean I'm not allowed to participate? Alright then! It's fine if I'm not allowed to participate, but since that's the case, then I'll treat everyone equally. Those people who have slandered me in the past, those who have doubted and criticized A Bite of China and our Department 14 behind our backs, many of them are already here, right? Then get them to come out right now! Everyone, don't participate! Isn't that fair? Then come out right now! "
"That's right!"
"Why should we be fine just because they scolded us?"
"If they want to be punished, then everyone should be punished together!"
"Why are they only targeting our Department 14?"
"What have we done? Is there anything wrong with the results? "
"Weren't there a lot of people who scolded us back then? I even saw a few of them swaggering into the venue just now! Why can't they do the same when it comes to Director Zhang! "
The people of Department 14 were furious.
Zhang Ye looked at the assistant station head and a few others who were trying to stop him from entering the venue and said, "Don't glare at me yet. You were the ones who mentioned the crime of slandering your colleagues and sister channels, so I'll just go along with it." Saying that, he took out his cell phone and scrolled through the history of Weibo. Then he called out names one by one: "Chen Hefei, Central TV Department 1 employee. Publicly insulted Department 14's work last December. Xu Dong, Central TV Department 1 employee. Two days ago, on Weibo, he completely denied and attacked Department 14's work. Wu Xia …"
Everyone looked at each other.
Some of the people whose names were called out by Zhang Ye were still in the crowd. Their expressions turned ugly.
After he finished calling out the names one by one, Zhang Ye said, "I would like to ask, how are you all going to deal with these people?"
No one answered him. There was no way to answer him. When it came to talking, it was obvious that no one present was a match for Zhang Ye!
The matter was getting out of hand. Even if many of the station heads wanted to pretend that they did not know about it, they could no longer do so. This was because at this moment, the entrance of the venue was filled with people. They were all standing there to watch the commotion and did not want to enter the venue! Now that it had come to this, they had no choice but to deal with it. If they did not handle it well, it could very well lead to the collective dissatisfaction of Department 14. It was such a grand annual staff party, yet the director of Department 14, who was the center of attention and had the most outstanding results, had led everyone to refuse to attend? Refuse to enter the venue? This kind of internal conflict was undoubtedly too big. Ignoring how the media would report it, who would bear the responsibility for it? The current Department 14 was no longer the weak Department 14 of the past. It was now the department with the highest viewership ratings in the entire country!
Soon after, another station head came out and called Yan Tianfei to the side to talk to him. This station head seemed to be very familiar with Yan Tianfei and had a good relationship with him. Yan Tianfei did not get angry with him, but he was still rather agitated!
Deputy Station Head Zhou also took this opportunity to go back to the venue.
Inside the venue, a few of the station heads also met for a small meeting.
"How should we deal with it?"
"Chase Zhang Ye away. Why should we care about him!"
"Do you think we can chase him away? The people of Department 14 have a lot of opinions about this, especially Old Yan! "
"That Old Yan is too outrageous!"
"The most outrageous one is Zhang Ye. It's the station's decision, yet he's still defending it? So what if they punish you? Do we still need to give you a reason? Do we even need to explain it to you? "
"We shouldn't have bothered with him. Because of that crosstalk, the Spring Festival Gala production team is now rejecting Zhang Ye. Several of the directors and planners have even come to the station to complain! They still need to appease their emotions! Why did they ban him from attending the annual staff party this time? It's because a lot of people don't want to see him! Although the Station Head did not say it, I don't think he has a good impression of Zhang Ye. No one wants to cause trouble during the new year. "
"But what if they don't allow him to attend? Old Yan and the people of Department 14 won't have it! If this blows up, it won't be a matter of causing trouble anymore! "
"Forget it, just let Zhang Ye attend."
"He won't be participating in the program anyway, so it'll be fine as long as he doesn't cause trouble!"
"That's the only way."
After discussing for about five minutes, the station finally allowed Zhang Ye to attend the annual staff party.
The atmosphere outside also relaxed a little.
Only then did Yan Tianfei lead his people inside.
Quite a few people were whispering among themselves.
"They still let him in."
"Fuck, I thought they would end up fighting."
"The station didn't allow Zhang Ye to attend because they don't want to see him during the new year. Why did Zhang Ye have to come? If it were me, I would have just turned around and left. I don't want to be hated by others. "
"That's why you can't be a celebrity."
"Zhang Ye too. He's so capable and talented, but isn't his social relations a little too bad! In order to not want to see him, they even banned him from attending the annual staff party. This is the first time that Central TV has been punished like this. When have we ever seen such a punishment before? This is Zhang Ye's style! "
As he walked past them, Zhang Ye's ears twitched and he overheard their whispers.
A lot of people don't want to see me?
Hur. Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes.
Even if you don't want to see me, you can't!
This bro is going to fight it out with you all today!
