Chapter 269 - Solidarity from Everywhere! (1/2)

The live broadcast halted!

The image on the television was interrupted!

After a few seconds of interrupted signal, an advertis.e.m.e.nt was played at the last moment. From the looks of it, the Shanghai provincial channel was completely caught off guard!

What a great speech!

What a great Zhang Ye!

The people in charge of the live broadcast and cameramen were basically all employees of the television station. When Zhang Ye’s “The Answer” came out, they already knew that an incident had happened. The television station’s headquarters immediately ordered the site-in-charge and SARFT officials to discuss, but the SARFT officials decided to go ahead with the live broadcast. The officials of the television station knew that the SARFT wanted to salvage the situation, probably by revoking Zhang Ye’s status as a host and then reprimand him. It had suited the press conference’s theme of having a review anyway. They would then cut the live broadcast off and the whole plan would have taken just a few minutes.

But what they did not expect was that Zhang Ye did not even give the SARFT officials a chance to speak. From beginning till the end, the speaking authority was with him. No one could manage to cut in! The people from SARFT did not know why it turned out this way, but Shanghai Television Station knew. This was because of an extremely talented host’s basic qualities and charisma! Zhang Ye had all these abilities. As long as he stood there, as long as he had a mouth, he would be able to control the right to speak. In the world of broadcasting, this ability was called stage presence. In a Karaoke, this ability was called—Mic Hog!

No one could cut in to say anything!

No one could stop Zhang Ye!

Of course, the most critical point was still “The Last Speech”. This was such an earth shaking speech. Every sentence was like a knife, as if it could kill. Whoever heard this speech today was shocked by Zhang Ye’s imposition and words!

Outside.

Those who were watching the live broadcast of the press conference on television! Those who were watching the live broadcast of the press conference online! They were frozen at this moment!

Justice can never be ma.s.sacred, because the truth will always exist!

When I stepped out of the door this morning, I was prepared never to step back in again!

If I fall! Thousands and thousands like me will…..rise up!?

Zhang Ye’s fearless, impa.s.sioned speech laced with anger echoed in their ears. Some people did not even realize they had already dug into their chests with their nails, while others had their eyes turn red without knowing why!

The internet was abuzz with commotion!

As if a grenade had been thrown!

“Zhang Ye! You’re the best!”

“Teacher Zhang! Good one!”

“I will support you for the rest of my life!”

“Teacher Zhang! We stand together with you!”

“F**k your grandpa Shanghai SARFT! I will fight it out with you!”

“Count me in! I will go to SARFT’s website and scold them everyday from now on! Bullies! Such bullies! They can’t do things like that!”

“I’m filled with anger! Why do good people not get what they deserve? Why do they have to oppress Teacher Zhang Ye? SARFT officials! I want to ask why! When a fan was diagnosed with terminal illness, who was the one who became broke to help his fan? I want to ask why! When our country was insulted and provoked, who was the one who withstood the pressure and fought back through his program! I want to ask why! When a plane was hijacked, who was the one who selflessly fought with the criminals, landed the plane, and saved hundreds of lives? Who? Tell us! Where were you all back then? What are you all doing now? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”

“Why does ‘Zhang Ye’s Talk Show’ need to be halted?”

“You’re even revoking Teacher Zhang Ye’s status as a host?”

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! You guys are too hars.h.!.+ Are you still humans!”

“When has Teacher Zhang Ye ever offended you? Ah!”

After Zhang Ye’s speech, many neutrals could no longer sit idle. Their anger had been lit as “The Last Speech” of Zhang Ye touched countless people!

“Vindicate Teacher Zhang!”

“How can anyone look on just like that? I can’t watch silently anymore!”

“This might be the last time Teacher Zhang speaks, the last time being on stage. Shouldn’t we do something?”

“I didn’t used to like Zhang Ye much. I didn’t like his temper, his character, nor his works, but today, his speech really grabbed my heart! Hit me right in the feels! When my girlfriend walked into the room just now, she asked me why I was crying. I touched my face and then realized that I was crying! Zhang Ye is right. He’s saying what any Chinese with a conscience would say! Based on what should he be targeted time after time? What did he say that was wrong? What laws did he break? As long as it’s a word from the SARFT, everyone has to carry it out without any complaints? Who do you think you are! The emperor!?”

“SARFT, you are too arrogant!”

“That’s right! You can remove Teacher Zhang Ye! You can also dismiss Teacher Zhang Ye’s host qualifications, but let me use Teacher Zhang’s words against you! The truth will always exist! Zhang Ye may have fallen, but thousands and thousands of Zhang Ye will stand up! Those thousands of people now…. includes me!”
