Chapter 263 - If the tiger doesn’t roar, do you think I’m an ill cat? (1/2)

Feng Guiqin hung up.

Zhang Ye heard every word from the phone. He had provoked public outrage? Someone did not like him? This halt was targeted at him?

Feng Guiqin waved her hand, “Go back first. I’ll think of some other method!”

w.a.n.g Xiong was pessimistic, “The directive has been pa.s.sed down. It’s already too late.”

“I’ll look for someone else.” Feng Guiqin knew that there was not much hope, but she had to put in the effort. She could not take this lying down. It was not easy for Weiwo to produce such a good program, and it was not easy for China to produce such an excellent original program format. Before others commented on it, they were already drowned by their own people? They were attacked for some baffling reasons, resulting in their best program being halted! No wonder China’s television program industry could not develop well! How was it to develop!? It was sabotaged from within! All because of personal selfish desires that ignored everything else! This was the entertainment industry of China! Feng Guiqin’s heart turned so cold that it could not go any lower!

“Director Feng,” Zhang Ye spoke.

Feng Guiqin pushed her hand out, “Go back.”

Zhang Ye said with a gloomy face, “This matter is my fault. I have jeopardized our company!”

“You heard it?” Feng Guiqin was stunned before saying, “It’s not because of you.”

Zhang Ye said, “Previously, many television stations contacted me, hoping to headhunt me to do Talk Shows for them, but I refused. I rejected all of them, and in this industry, I have previously offended a lot of people. Even I’m at a loss how many of them there are. They are deliberately targeting me!”

w.a.n.g Xiong patted him, “It’s not because of you.”

Zhang Ye was very firm in his judgment.

He managed to get caught in a crackdown?

He managed to get used as an example?

That was definitely not the reason. It was just used as an opportunistic reason. Just as the Head Zheng from the Shanghai SARFT told Director Feng on the phone, that pot bellied guy, named Li Tao was the instigator of this matter. There was a web of relations behind the matter. For example, Li Tao’s daughter who idolized Lee Parkwoo, for example an old cla.s.smate of Li Tao, or a friend of Li Tao from a certain television station. They could have contacted Li Tao to help in targeting Zhang Ye, or it could be Li Tao not liking Zhang Ye. To make a negative example out of someone, they needed someone to answer to their higher-ups. Hence, “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” had become their target. Regardless of the possibilities, Zhang Ye remembered Li Tao as a person. The reason why his program was banned was all because of this person!

This is like sending me to the gallows!

At the same moment Zhang Ye’s heart turned cold, another part of his heart was burning with anger!

Feng Guiqin said, “Old w.a.n.g, about the sponsors.h.i.+p of Talk Show, hold it off for the moment. Forget it, tell them the truth. Everyone is well-informed. Since the Shanghai SARFT is holding a press conference tonight, there’s no way to keep it under wraps.”

w.a.n.g Xiong sighed, “I understand.” A few million Yuan of sponsors.h.i.+p fees disappeared just like that. Not just w.a.n.g Xiong felt the pinch, the entire company would definitely feel it!

Their company’s most excellent program had not even fully matured in its popularity, but had been stabbed in the back by others. This was a severe blow to their online television station!

Office area.

Zhang Ye returned.

“Has the sponsors.h.i.+p been decided?” Dong Shanshan looked up from her desk and she smiled. “I heard the bid for your Talk Show’s exclusive sponsors.h.i.+p is already higher than the other top WebTV programs. In the future, you will be a famous high sponsors.h.i.+p webhost.”

Ah Qian smiled. “Congratulations, Teacher Zhang.”

“Are you treating us tonight?” Little Yu also joked.

Zhang Ye did not speak a word and returned to his seat.

The surrounding colleagues were surprised when they saw this. What happened? Why was Teacher Zhang Ye acting in such a manner? He was still frowning despite the higher sponsors.h.i.+p rates?

Then, a woman suddenly shouted!

It was the web host named, w.a.n.g Bei. She exclaimed, “Hurry and look at Shanghai SARFT’s official website! This crackdown mentions seven programs to be halted! Including…’Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’!”

“What?”

“It can’t be?”

“Teacher w.a.n.g, did you see wrongly?”

“Talk Show has been halted? Based on what grounds!?”

The office seemed to explode as everyone gathered over!

After verifying the notice of violation from the SARFT, everyone was stunned!

There really was “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show”! It had really been halted! And it was in effect as of today! According to the doc.u.ment’s usual practices, this was a indefinite halt! It could be said that even if it was edited, and they redid the programs from the past, there was no way for “Zhang Ye’s Talk Show” to be aired ever again!

Ah Qian stared, “How can this be!?”
