On the same day, the news came out!
The newspapers, television, and online media all rushed to report on it!
"Zhang Ye rises to the A-list!"
"The latest Celebrity Rankings Index!"
"The A-list Celebrity Rankings Index has finally been updated!"
"Zhang Ye unexpectedly breaks into the A-list rankings!"
"Will Zhang Ye be able to maintain his A-list status? Let us wait and see! "
"A celebrity who does not engage in proper work creates a miracle that no one can imitate!"
"A detailed breakdown of Zhang Ye's path to fame!"
"Zhang Ye: A genius that no one in the industry can accept!"
"Whether his merits or demerits are up to future generations to judge?"
Actually, Zhang Ye had already ascended to the heavens!
The A-list Celebrity Rankings had been fixed for a very long time and hadn't been updated in a very long time. There were only a few people who moved up and down the rankings, but the A-list rankings had never been shaken by anyone in recent times. After all, even if someone became famous overnight and became famous overnight, the most they could do was reach the B-list rankings. Even if they were extremely popular, how could they get into the A-list rankings? That was something that required results, a foundation, and a lot of accumulation. A celebrity who became famous overnight would not be able to sustain the popularity of an A-list celebrity. As such, this ranking index had been fixed for too long, and outsiders could not squeeze their way into it!
But today, Zhang Ye had broken the rule. An average-looking celebrity, a person who did not rely on his looks to make a living, had barged his way into the A-list rankings. In the eyes of countless people, this was a miracle. It might not have been so bad if it were at the B-list or C-list rankings, but at the A-list rankings, which celebrity did not rely on their looks to make a living? Even if he relied on his talent and other things, his looks would definitely be outstanding. This had already become a prerequisite. But with Zhang Ye's appearance, everyone was taken aback. A person who had only debuted for less than two years, with such average looks or even slightly above average looks, had actually made it to the A-list?
Even though he was ranked last.
Even though his popularity was not stable yet.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ye received a call and hurried out.
...
At Central TV.
The Heavens had given him face today. The sky was clear for miles.
When he arrived, Yan Tianfei's secretary was already waiting for him at the entrance. When she saw Zhang Ye's car from afar, Yan Tianfei's secretary strode up to him with a smile.
"Teacher Zhang, congratulations! Congratulations! "the secretary said.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
The secretary immediately said, "The interview will be held on Central TV's live broadcast studio. Please come with me."
Zhang Ye nodded and followed, "Alright, it shouldn't have taken too long, right?"
The secretary said, "It's just ten minutes, but it's a live broadcast."
"Alright, I got it," Zhang Ye said.
The secretary smiled and said, "I was really afraid you wouldn't come."
Zhang Ye shrugged and said, "There's a live interview with Central TV, so why wouldn't I come?"
The current him needed to stabilize his popularity. He had just been promoted to the A-list, but as a "newcomer," he still couldn't compare to the other A-list celebrities. Without their popularity as a foundation, it would be impossible for him to compete with them in the short term, so there was no need for him to think about surpassing the A-list celebrities ahead of him. But now, the people behind him were almost on par with him in terms of popularity. That original A-list celebrity who had been replaced by Zhang Ye had fallen to the top of the B-list rankings. It could be said that he could return to the A-list at any time and replace Zhang Ye again. This period was the most unstable and weakest period for Zhang Ye in the A-list rankings. He had to consolidate his hard-won position in the A-list rankings!
An interview?
And it was even a live broadcast by Central TV?
Of course he had to come. Otherwise, if that A-list celebrity who had been replaced by him did something, Zhang Ye might return to the B-list rankings the next day and become the shortest-lived A-list celebrity in history.
Moreover, it was not easy to get this interview!
There were many interludes involved.
After receiving news of Zhang Ye's promotion to the A-list, the people from Central TV News Channel contacted Department 14 and communicated with them. They wanted to do a brief live interview with Zhang Ye. Usually, when a celebrity was promoted to the A-list, it would be considered an earth-shattering event in this world's entertainment circle. As the big brother of the television industry, Central TV couldn't possibly miss out on such news and would usually conduct a one-on-one interview with the celebrity on the same day. But the reason why Zhang Ye was only informed at noon was mainly because of his special relationship with Central TV. After all, they had been involved in a lawsuit and a quarrel. As a result, the people from Central TV News Channel were unsure of what to do. They hurriedly communicated with the station heads, held a meeting, and discussed it all the way until noon before the live interview with Zhang Ye was approved.
Suddenly.
In front of him, his colleagues appeared!
"Director Zhang!"
"Director Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
Ha Qiqi, Little Wang, Tong Fu, and Huang Dandan were all here!
Zhang Ye was taken aback, then said with a smile, "Whoa, you guys are still working overtime on the second day of the new year?"
Ha Qiqi smiled. "No, we knew that you would be coming over for a live interview, so we specially rushed over to congratulate you and also to cheer for you."
Little Wang gave him a thumbs up and said, "Director Zhang, you're so awesome! When I heard that you were promoted to the A-list this morning, I was so shocked! "
"Director Zhang, it's on us!"
"Right, it's on us!"
"It's on us, it's on us!"
"Zhang Zuo, Wu Yi, and the others will be here in a while!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "Alright, then don't leave. After the interview is over, I'll treat everyone to a meal!"
...
In the outside world.
The news had already been released.
"Zhang Ye is going on a live broadcast at Central TV!"
"What time is it?"
"Immediately!"
"Ah, then we have to watch it!"
"Uh, didn't Central TV fall out with Zhang Ye?"
"But they still have to invite Zhang Ye for such a big event. Zhang Ye is now an A-list celebrity and is a big shot in the entertainment industry. How can his status be the same as before? No matter how much Central TV doesn't like him, they still have to report on such big news! "
"It's only a 10-minute live interview? Back when Huo Dongfang was promoted to the A-list, he was interviewed for half an hour! They even specially made a special episode for him! "
"The key is that this is Zhang Ye!"
"Pfft, with his popularity, how can he compare to Sect Leader Huo?"
"Hahaha, it's already pretty good that he can stay on for 10 minutes!"
"Let's see if Teacher Zhang can use this opportunity to stabilize his popularity. The original A-list celebrity who was pushed down earlier is catching up very closely. He's only a few tens of thousands of popularity points away!"
"Teacher Zhang, you can do it!"
"You have to hold on!"
A few tens of thousands of popularity points might sound like a lot, but it was actually very rare for an A-list celebrity. Sometimes, it was just a song, a commercial, an interview, or a Weibo post. The two of them were very close in terms of popularity points, so it was hard to say who would be in the A-list tomorrow!
It was about to begin!
Zhang Ye's parents turned on the television.
Zhang Ye's relatives and neighbors turned to Central TV News Channel.
At home, Yan Tianfei turned on the television.
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli were watching.
Zhang Xia was watching.
Ci Xiufang was watching.
Dong Shanshan was watching.
Yao Jiancai was watching.
Peking University's Teacher Su Na was watching.
Central TV Department 1's Jiang Yuan, Xu Yipeng, and Chen Ye were watching.
His colleagues from the crosstalk world were watching.
The sporting world's people were watching.
Zhang Yuanqi and her manager, Fang Weihong, were watching.
Even Wu Zeqing was watching.
Zhang Ye's relatives, friends, colleagues, fans, and even his enemies, those who liked him and those who didn't, were all waiting in front of their televisions at this moment. They were waiting for Zhang Ye to appear for the first time since his promotion to the A-list. They wanted to see what he would say now that he had become an A-list celebrity.
...
Central TV News Channel.
In the live broadcast studio. The live broadcast began!
The host was a woman in her thirties. Her name was Zhang Ya, a very strange name. She was a veteran host of Central TV and had even done News Simulcast for a period of time. She was also one of the few hosts at Central TV who had not fought with Zhang Ye before. As such, it was no surprise that she would be the one interviewing Zhang Ye today.
A long table.
Two chairs.
The two of them sat facing each other.
Zhang Ya had a professional smile on her face. "I'm very happy to be able to invite my colleague, Teacher Zhang Ye, to our live broadcast studio today."
Zhang Ye smiled. "Hello, Teacher Zhang Ya."
"Speaking of which, the two of us were even from the same family 500 years ago," Zhang Ya said with a smile.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Yes, I've long heard of your name."
Zhang Ya asked, "Oh? Teacher Zhang, you know me? "
Zhang Ye smiled. "I often watch your news programs. In my heart, you're like a star in the sky!"
Zhang Ya said in surprise, "Whoa, is it really that bright?"
"Hai." Zhang Ye followed up, "It doesn't matter if it's one more or one less."
"Pfft!" Zhang Ya was a serious host who did news programs. When she reported the news, she would either have a serious expression or a professional smile. These were the only two things she could do. But today, during the live broadcast, Zhang Ya was amused by Zhang Ye's words!
The viewers in front of their televisions were also amused!
"Hahahaha!"
"Aiyo, Zhang Ye is really great!"
"You're doing a live broadcast, yet you're still talking like that?"
"It feels like he's doing a crosstalk!"
"Of course, how could Zhang Ye's interviews be the same as others? Hahaha! "
"I like him! I like him so much! "
"He's the only one who can be so cool!"
His mother said in a speechless manner, "This kid, why does he dare to say anything!"
On TV.
Zhang Ya laughed for a long time before revealing a helpless expression. "Teacher Zhang, I've learned a thing or two from your mouth today."
"I was just joking, just joking." Zhang Ye laughed it off.
In fact, after being at Central TV for so long, this was the first time that Zhang Ya and Zhang Ye had an official face-to-face interaction. What she said just now was not a polite remark. She had indeed experienced it a little. In the past, she had interviewed countless celebrities and broadcasted countless news. She had even done two interviews with celebrities who had just been promoted to the A-list. When those newly promoted A-list celebrities came here, they would usually be more formal, or very serious, or very polite, or constantly thanking their fans and family. However, this was the first time she had seen someone like Zhang Ye, who teased a host the moment he came up. For a moment, she could not take it anymore. She gave a wry smile in her heart. This Zhang Ye was really different from other celebrities!
