A call came in.
It was an old leader of Beijing Television, Hu Fei.
Hu Fei said: "Little Zhang, you're really daring!"
Zhang Ye laughed. "It's not too bad, I guess."
Hu Fei also laughed and said: "You've really poked a hole in the sky this time!"
"That's exactly what I wanted," Zhang Ye said.
Hu Fei said: "I'm calling to tell you that no matter what, our former colleagues at the Beijing Arts Channel are all proud of you!"
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "Thank you, everyone."
But Hu Fei said: "This time, it's the people who should be thanking you."
...
Online. The shouts were still going on!
"That was too scary!"
"Is there anyone who hasn't seen it yet? Hurry up and rewind it! "
"Ah!"
"It's gone again! It's gone again! "
"Damn, why did it get deleted again?"
"What's going on? Wasn't it restored just now? "
"Why did it get taken down again?"
"What are these people doing?"
"Ah, it's out again!"
"It's out again! It's out again! "
"Ah, it's gone again!"
"Ah, it's out again!"
...
At a video-sharing website.
In the office of the general manager who was in charge of the interface.
The phone kept ringing. Ring ring ring, ring ring ring.
Director Yan answered the call with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Director Wang … yes, yes, yes … OK, OK … You're absolutely right. We'll take it down immediately … OK … OK … No problem at all … We'll do whatever the leaders tell us to do."
He hung up.
Director Yan immediately called his secretary over. "Quick, take down the air pollution documentary!"
The secretary nodded and went to carry it out.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again.
When Director Yan saw the caller ID, he quickly answered with a smile. "Hello, Director Sun … yes, yes, yes … OK, OK, OK … You're absolutely right … We'll restore the footage immediately … OK … That's a must … We must give our greatest support to public service documentaries!"
He hung up.
Director Yan immediately called his secretary back. "Hurry up and take down the documentary!"
The secretary said: "OK."
Ten minutes later, another call from another leader came in!
Take it down!
Take it down!
Take it down!
Take it down!
Finally, Director Yan was infuriated!
F * ck your Third Aunt! You immortals fight, who did I offend!?
Similar situations were happening on countless video websites and news agencies. Some people switched off their phones and went into hiding. Some people did not want to offend anyone and were two-faced. There were also some people who saw the situation and were scared out of their wits. They simply pretended to be sick and went to the hospital!
At this moment, the industry was quite shocked!
They were fighting! The higher-ups are also fighting!
The entire country was turned upside down by this documentary!
…
On the same day.
Many voices suddenly appeared as if they had discussed with each other beforehand!
A medical professor posted a public condemnation: "Don't be fooled by Zhang Ye. He's just trying to mislead the audience. How is the smog related to lung cancer? Smog can cause lung cancer? There was no such theory in science. What did it say? Isn't this deceiving the people? "
"F * ck off!"
"How much evidence shows that smog is related to lung disease? How many institutions have shown that smog is a possible cause of lung cancer? There is no scientific explanation for this? Yes! It is true that no organization has studied how smog causes lung cancer, but we have been misled by people like you! By saying that there is no scientific evidence that smog is related to lung cancer, what kind of signal are you sending to the people? Everyone's first impression after seeing this is that smog is fine! Smog definitely won't cause lung cancer! You're just scamming people! "
"You're still trying to deceive us? You people are the ones who are deceiving us! "
"We ignored you, but you still stepped forward?"
"Idiots!"
The people were enraged!
Elsewhere.
A scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences was openly criticizing Zhang Ye. "You're just trying to scare us with your bullshit. What's the point of shouting all this? What's your motive? Have you thought of the consequences? Smog is an unavoidable product of human development. It's the price we have to pay for the development of society, so we definitely have to deal with it. But how? Are we really going to shut down the steel factories? Or stop heating the residents? Destroy all the cars? Are you trying to revert back to a primitive society? "
Another scientist from the National Atmospheric Pollution Research Institute also said: "@ ZhangYe, if you don't understand, don't spout nonsense. Dealing with smog isn't as simple as you think it is. There are many complicated aspects involved. I'm very suspicious of Zhang Ye's motive for making this documentary!"
The CEO of a steel company mocked on Weibo: "Zhang Ye is still driving a BMW X5, right? Why don't you just throw away the car first before you tell me anything else! "
The netizens blew up!
All of a sudden, countless people surrounded him!
"Throw away the car? Why should he throw away the car! "
"What kind of fucking logic is that?"
"Based on what you're saying, those who call for charity activities will have to donate their houses? They'll have to sell their homes? Only then can they devote themselves to charity work? Fuck! "
"How can there still be idiots like you in society?"
"Let me tell you! Teacher Zhang Ye is not a scientist. He's just a documentary director and a host. He has to find a solution to the smog himself? And he even has to find a solution that everyone can accept? The most correct solution? Only then can he speak? Only then can he announce the truth? Fuck you! Isn't that something that you bunch of experts and scientists should be thinking about? Zhang Ye has presented the real smog to everyone. His ability is limited, but he has tried his best to declare war on it. But what about you guys? Let me ask you, what are you doing? You can't deal with the smog, and you can't come up with any results from your research. Instead, you're scolding others for not being able to do this or that? F * ck you! "
Thousands of scolding voices filled the air!
The experts and scientists were stunned by the scolding!
Immediately, many experts and scholars came forward to question the documentary. What falsification of data, what fabrication, what alarmist talk, all of it was directed at Zhang Ye!
But in the next moment, the scolding drowned them out!
It was a screen full of scolding!
It was a thousand scolding comments!
One of them jumped out to scold another!
One of them jumped out to scold another!
Zhang Ye's fans, and even nearly all of the people, were all standing on Zhang Ye's side!
Zhang Ye was not the Chai Jing from his previous world. His nationality was not disputed, and his documentary was not interfered with by any foreign organizations. Besides, with Zhang Ye's 20 years of professional slandering of Korea and his scolding of the Japanese foreign guests, to say that he was the spokesperson or vanguard of foreign forces trying to sabotage the development of China? They probably wouldn't even believe it themselves! Zhang Ye's background was too clean. There was no doubt about it! And most importantly, compared to Chai Jing from his previous world, Zhang Ye was much more popular and influential. Coupled with the fact that the people of this world had a poor understanding of the smog, even Zhang Ye himself might not have expected that the people would support him unreservedly!
The documentary was taken down again.
Then, after some time, it was reinstated again!
The views continued to soar!
A short five hours had passed!
The total views of Zhang Ye's Investigative Documentary on the Internet had already broken the 100 million mark under the horrified and shocked eyes of the industry insiders!
It was crazy!
They were all fucking crazy!
"Investigate the polluting companies!"
"Hand over the culprits!"
"Who is using our lives to make money?"
"We can't remain silent any longer!"
"Hand over the culprits!"
"Give me back my white clouds!"
"Give me back my blue skies!"
On this day, of the top ten trending topics on Weibo, seven of them were related to Zhang Ye, the smog, and Department 14's documentary!
On this day, environmental protection departments across the country received a total of 110,000 calls. More than 1,000 polluting companies were reported and complained about by the people!
On this day, environmentalists and the people surrounded the organization that had been exposed by the documentary for sticking fake emission inspection labels on large trucks. After surrounding it for a full three hours, they watched as the head of the organization and a series of people involved in the case were taken away by police cars!
On this day, the people woke up.
On this day, a lot of things happened.
On this day, Zhang Ye stood on the streets and looked up. He felt that the sky today … seemed a little bluer!
