Chapter 267 - That familiar Teacher Zhang is back again! (1/2)
The scene at the live broadcast turned silent!
Zhang Ye had answered them!
He used a method that was exclusive to Zhang Ye alone!
He used an answering method that would astound everyone!
After the poem finished, the reporters off-staged gasped. Some stared in disbelief at Zhang Ye, while others wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. The first row of Shanghai SARFT staff nearly coughed out blood. They were nearly infuriated to death by Zhang Ye’s poem. Especially with Li Tao as the highest ranking official in charge of this press conference. Li Tao’s face had turned red with anger. Veins bulged from his neck and he looked like he was going to rush up on stage to gnaw Zhang Ye to death. He hated him to the bone!
The others had not reacted in time yet!
A few seconds later, there was an uproar!
“Holy sh*t!”
“This poem…”
“Zhang Ye has gone mad!”
“How is he so daring!? Why is he so daring!?”
“He’s cursing the SARFT? Does he plan not to work anymore?”
Many reporters stood up with a rush. They had previously been gathered here by the SARFT. The questions they asked mostly followed the core context of the SARFT’s press conference, but at this moment, their att.i.tudes changed. What replaced their expressions was that of great excitement and interest. The professional love of chaos as a reporter immediately surged up!
What did being on stimulants look like?
It was what they looked like now!
Click! Click! Click! The reporters began to barrage Zhang Ye with camera flashes. Some of them hurriedly used their memory to record down the stirring poem!
It was big news!
This time, the news was major!
Comrade Zhang Ye! Why are you always…so cute!
When the reporters came, they believed that they were here to go through the motions and report according to the usual patterns. They never expected such a shocking scene!
“Zhang Ye is infuriated!”
“Zhang Ye is infuriated once again!”
Some Shanghai reporters were no stranger to Zhang Ye. The airplane hijacking was the first time Zhang Ye appeared in Shanghai, catching the attention of the people. Hence, many reporters had investigated Zhang Ye’s past. However, there were many reporters and SARFT staff who did not understand him.
A young reporter said in surprise, “What does this mean?”
Another female reporter said in a daze, “Why do you mean infuriated once again? Has he done something like this in the past?”
“Far more than that.” An old reporter chuckled, “It’s not only once. This Zhang Ye is extremely notorious in Beijing. Once, at an awards ceremony, he did not show his grat.i.tude after receiving the award, and instead scolded his unit in public. Later on, when he went to a television station, he disrupted a live broadcast at a funeral wake. He cursed his superior in front of the cameras. What newspaper are you from? You haven’t even heard of this matter? Back then, this matter caused quite a hubbub. Later, that w.a.n.g Shuixin was arrested. When some people live, they are already dead. When some people die, they are still alive. Have you never heard this poem?”
The young reporter said, “I’ve heard of it! That poem is so famous!”
The old reporter said, “This poem was written by Zhang Ye. And he had written it out of inspiration on a live broadcast.”
A middle-aged female reporter, who had heard of Zhang Ye before, was recording down “The Answer” and speaking to them at the same time, “When the SARFT held a press conference, I already knew that the name list had Zhang Ye. Later on, someone told me in the afternoon that it was a live broadcast. Then, I was very surprised. I was wondering why the SARFT dared to let him go on live broadcast with his notoriety in Beijing. I was extremely curious and wondrous at how daring the SARFT staff were. I even thought that they had communicated with Zhang Ye to ensure that Zhang Ye behaved and did a honest apology, but who knew that it did not happen! Did they not communicate at all?”
The old reporter was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, “Yeah. When I heard that it was a live broadcast, I was stunned. I have quite a number of friends in the Beijing television media circles. From what they say, Zhang Ye has long been banned from appearing on live broadcasts there. It’s no different than trying to s.h.i.+eld themselves from thieves. The Shanghai SARFT didn’t know?”
A few of the reporters spoke quite loudly.
The first row of Shanghai SARFT staff heard it and turned back in surprise. What? Zhang Ye had previously done this before? And more than once? Holy sh*t! How didn’t we know about it!? Why didn’t anyone tell them? They were the Shanghai SARFT and their scope was only in Shanghai. There was not much interests that intersected with Beijing, and since they were not in the media industry, they could not follow up with so much provincial news every day. Hence, many of them really did not know of Zhang Ye’s notoriety. They subconsciously believed no one in the industry would dare openly challenge them!
“Hurry and stop the broadcast!”
“It’s already too late!”
“Do we stop the live broadcast now?”
“There’s no way to stop it. We can’t end it like that. The effects would be disastrous!”
The SARFT staff were all panicking. They had never encountered such a matter! They had no experience in dealing with such matters! They were in a mess!
“Chief Li!”
“Chief Li, what do we do?”
