On the same day.
It was reported in the news.
"Zhang Ye's new documentary banned!"
"After A Bite of China, there will be no more documentaries!"
"Air pollution documentary? It was aborted before it was even broadcast! "
"Has Zhang Ye run out of steam?"
"Central TV Documentary Channel will never be able to replicate the miracle of A Bite of China!"
"Why can't the public service film be aired?"
On Weibo, many netizens were having none of it!
"What?"
"Banned? F * ck! I haven't seen it yet! "
"What do you mean by not allowing it to be broadcast?"
"I've been looking forward to Zhang Ye's new film. Although it wasn't directed by Teacher Zhang this time, the content was planned by him. Why is it gone?"
"Return my documentary!"
"Central TV is too wicked!"
"There's a piece of news that you don't know yet, right?"
"What news?"
"An employee from A Bite of China's program team was diagnosed with lung cancer a few days ago!"
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Hai, she's just a young lady in her twenties. That's why Teacher Zhang did not intend to direct this film at first. After all, he was about to leave Central TV. But this time, he came back to direct it. I heard that the person's lung cancer was caused by the smog."
"It can't be?"
"Smog can also cause lung cancer?"
"Are you serious? Don't scare me! "
"The staff of Department 14 has already contracted cancer, yet Central TV is still banning their shows? Isn't this a little too unreasonable? Will Teacher Zhang agree to it? "
"I want to watch this documentary more and more now! The news often said something about paying attention to smog and that air pollution was harmful, but they didn't tell us exactly what the harm was. You don't even tell us how you're going to manage it? What was the meaning of this? Everyone was confused now! Everyone knew that there was a smog, but no one knew what the smog was! Teacher Zhang wants to tell us? Why can't I broadcast it? "
There was also a heated discussion on the Internet!
A lot of people were scolding Central TV, but there were also a lot of people who did not know what was going on.
On this earth, the discovery of smog and PM2.5 in China was still in its infancy. There were many things that people did not understand. Almost 95% of the people did not even have the concept of wearing a mask when going out on smog days. Everyone felt that it was not a big deal and there was no need to be so nervous. This was also the reason why Zhang Ye and Department 14 were so anxious to make this documentary. But now, everything had gone to waste!
…
Central TV.
Documentary Channel's office.
It was almost time to get off work, but no one had left. Everyone was cursing, and some even shouted that they wanted to quit!
"This is too much!"
"Dandan is going to have surgery!"
"How are we going to explain this to Dandan? How are we going to tell her? "
"It can't be like this!"
"Yes! We have to think of a way! "
Ha Qiqi slammed something onto the table. "I'll go look for the station head again!"
"Let's go together!" Zhang Zuo couldn't stand it anymore!
"Let's go together!"
"All of you, go!"
Everyone responded in unison!
They asked themselves if they had done anything wrong!
They asked themselves if every piece of data they had was obtained from a professional organization!
But why was the leader blaming them now? Punish them? Why couldn't they tell the people about the source and harm of the smog? Why couldn't he tell the people the truth?
They didn't understand!
That was why they were furious!
On the other side, Zhang Ye came out of his office.
"Director Zhang!"
"Let's go together!"
"Let's go look for the leader!"
"I don't believe there's no place for me to reason with!"
The people of Department 14 were all riled up.
But at this moment, Zhang Ye looked at everyone and said, "There's no need to look for them. It's useless even if you do. If the station doesn't approve it, our documentary won't get a signal and won't be broadcast."
Ha Qiqi said, "But!"
"There are no buts." Zhang Ye waved it off. "Everyone, go home. There's no need to think about the documentary anymore."
Zhang Zuo stared with wide eyes. "Are you saying that we should just let it go?"
Zhang Ye said, "What else can we do? The documentary has already been taken away by the station's people. "
Little Wang also couldn't believe that Zhang Ye was saying this. "Director Zhang, what's wrong with you? This … this isn't your style. If it were in the past, you would definitely … "
Zhang Ye said, "Definitely what? The station says that our documentary is too harmful, so I can't do anything about it. So we can only leave it at that for now. Everyone, stop making a fuss and go home. "
Ha Qiqi was also angry. She said loudly, "Director Zhang! Then who's going to be responsible for Dandan's illness? Dandan was lying in bed without a word of complaint. She just didn't want her experience to happen to anyone else! She just wanted our documentary to inform the people and let them know the dangers of the smog! Yes, I admit that the station heads are right. Even if some of the data we obtained is real and official, there is no scientific evidence to back it up! Data is data. It can only be used as a scientific basis, but it can't be considered a scientific fact! But even if it's wrong, even if the smog is not harmful at all, we still want to make this matter known to the public! We also want to scare the people! We want the people to know about the smog and to be afraid. Even if we have to bear the infamy of a lifetime, we will accept it! "
"Right!"
"We will accept it!"
"We're not afraid of being scolded! Have we not been scolded enough in this year? "
"Director Zhang, we can't just let it go!"
"This documentary is the blood, sweat, and tears of all of us!"
Zhang Zuo stared into Zhang Ye's eyes. "You promised Dandan yourself! You promised that you would let everyone see this documentary! "
Tong Fu clenched his fists. "Director Zhang!"
Zhang Ye looked at everyone. "Is everyone done?"
No one said a word.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Yes, if you're done, let's go home. There's no need to mention this matter again. Everyone, calm down and prepare for a new documentary. We can film some delicacies, some animals, anything will do."
Ha Qiqi suddenly said, "Are you speaking from the bottom of your heart?"
Zhang Ye threw up his hands. "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Director Zhang, I've misjudged you!" Ha Qiqi turned around and left!
Zhang Zuo wanted to say something but hesitated. He let out a long sigh and also left!
Zhang Ye suddenly said, "There's something else. Right now, the media and the people are paying a lot of attention to our documentary. It's blown up on the Internet, so we can't just let this matter rest like this. When we get back, I'll submit an application to the higher-ups to get them to give us a place to hold a press conference. It would be best if the venue is big enough and we can invite all the media reporters over. I will personally go onstage to explain the ban on the documentary."
Ha Qiqi did not even turn around. "Got it!"
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "This is very important."
Zhang Zuo turned around and said, "I'll write the report tonight."
"OK." Zhang Ye nodded.
Little Wang said angrily, "You still want to explain? Explain? Explain what! What is there for us to explain! We didn't do anything wrong at all! Director Zhang, w-why are you behaving like this! "
Tong Fu looked at Zhang Ye. "Are you still the Director Zhang that I know?"
Little Wang tugged at Tong Fu. "Let's go!"
One after another, everyone left!
Everyone had a look of disappointment on their faces!
In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone. Only Zhang Ye was left in the office.
The sky outside had turned dark. The smog had covered up the moonlight. Looking out from the window, the entire night looked eerie. It felt a little depressing and a little lonely?
Zhang Ye quietly walked to the door and closed the office's door. With a creak, the sound of the door closing was especially loud in the quiet office! He walked back and suddenly bent down to turn on a computer. Then a second computer, and a third computer. These computers had previously stored information about the air pollution documentary, but in the afternoon, the people from Central TV came over to delete and confiscate all of the documents related to the air pollution documentary.
He turned on the computer.
He typed on the keyboard.
Zhang Ye was doing some complicated operations. If any of the technicians were here, they would know that Zhang Ye was trying to recover the files. He was trying to recover the memory data that was stored on the hard drives!
Five …
Ten …
Twenty …
Copy after copy of the information was restored!
Clips of the videos and interview materials reappeared on the computer!
Zhang Ye suddenly remembered what Ha Qiqi had said before she left. He couldn't help but smile and feel quite proud of himself. Let the people know about the air pollution? Let the people know about fear? Even if you have to bear the infamy of the rest of your lives, you will still accept it?
Well said!
This is what my team should be like!
Each and every one of you is a good person!
However, this matter is no small matter. It's something that will pierce the heavens! How can I let you bear the infamy? How can I let you make this sacrifice? You have no power or influence. If you offend someone, and someone comes looking for trouble with you, what will you do? You all have wives and children, husbands, and parents. Which one of you can bear the pressure and infamy?
Forget it.
I happen to be someone who is not afraid of trouble, who is not afraid of offending people, and who is surrounded by controversy. So I don't mind being charged with another crime. I'm your leader. If something happens, do you think I'll let you take the blame? Then you guys are underestimating me too much.
So, I'll be the one to bear the infamy.
