Chapter 460: Going to be dropped!
F**k!
Why is my name on it?
Do they mean to ban me just like that?
Zhang Ye was dumbfounded. He stared at the most stringent ban list in history and couldn't believe it. He refreshed it in hopes that the SARFT had published it erroneously, but it reloaded with the exact same content. It remained unchanged and still had Zhang Ye's name on it. When the ban list was released, all the major media and news outlets began coverage on it. There was without a doubt that this was the real thing. It could also be seen that everyone had been stunned by SARFT decree #43!
”That's too hars.h.!.+”
”This....is this true?”
”d.a.m.n, they're really cracking down?”
”Do they really need to do a sweeping ban like this?”
”Looks like any public figures should not hold any hopes of escaping if they were to be commit any offenses anymore!”
”Chen Hongrong 'Re-entered the business' after drug offenses. Now, he's back to square one again, but I don't like him anyway, so it's okay even if he's banned.”
”The SARFT is really being hard hearted this time.”
”It's really quite cruel. There was no preempt or warning at all either. It just came pouring out in one swipe. The entertainment industry is in for a long ride this time!”
”Li Qiang just finished filming a movie, right? From this decree, unless all of his scenes are cut out of the movie, it won’t be able get a screening? d.a.m.n, the distributor and movie director must be crying their hearts out right now. Li Qiang was the main supporting actor and appears throughout the film, how can they cut his scenes out like that? Everyone else has been dragged into this because of him now. I was actually looking forward to this movie, but it seems like it's going to suffer a big loss this time!”
”It's unbelievable, they really are intending to ban them?”
”That's such a zero-tolerance policy!”
”This would cause those artistes, who have ever done misdeeds to disappear from the screen forever?”
Regardless of them being from the media, entertainment industry, or a commoner, after seeing decree #43, their first reactions were that of disbelief. In the decades of development in the entertainment industry, never once had there been such a strict decree. It had come too soon and too sudden, making everyone unable to react. Even though there had been rumors that the SARFT was coming up with new policies, no one could have expected it to be this and for it to be implemented so swiftly!
Everyone was not ready for this!
Maybe you can say that Zhang Ye was the only one who was a little prepared, as this decree #43 was very similar to Zhang Ye's previous world's SARFT decree #100. Even if some of the details differed a bit, the meaning behind it was still the same. Zhang Ye had gone through the shakeup of the media industry at that time, with Old Huang, Xiao Ke, Xiao Fang, and Old Yin all making it onto the list! It's not that Zhang Ye was unprepared since he believed that these celebrities, who had had their misdeeds before, should be banned. As a public figure, you'd have to be a role model to all. Otherwise, with their influences and stature in the public eye, if they committed offenses such as drug abuse or prost.i.tution, they would be sending the wrong message to the young. As such, this decree #43 was something that he could understand and accept!
But what he did not understand was, why did this decree have his name on it? When did I offend you guys!
Drug abuse?
I'll abuse your sister!
Soliciting prost.i.tutes?
I'll solicit your sister!
What do these have to do with me!?
Zhang Ye also knew that he could only have appeared on the ban list for one reason. In the latter part of the sentence -- used drugs, solicited prost.i.tutes, or engaged in other unlawful acts, he was included under 'other unlawful acts'. Zhang Ye had kicked Lee Anson and beaten up his bodyguards, as well as a security guard from Central TV. Because of that, he had been detained at the police station for a while. This was probably the only reason why he was included in the ban list, but it might also have been his scolding of the Koreans in his talk show or the fact that he had used many of his poems or literary works to scold people!
Scolding others?
Beating someone up?
Because of such trivial matters?
Why didn't you all think about why I scolded them!?
Why didn't you talk about why I beat someone up!?
Just the incident after the Spring Festival Gala, if the Central TV personnel had controlled the situation, if Lee Anson had just helped the fan up and apologized, would I need to stand up to resolve the situation? Oh, just because I stood up for the commoner, helped maintain the dignity of our country's entertainment industry and even had to sneakily take the risk of hacking into Korea’s internet resulting in becoming a wanted man? Even if I had done all of that willingly, but the matters have already pa.s.sed. Is there a need for you to stab me in the back like this?
It was unacceptable!
Zhang Ye was so angry that he kept on swearing!
It was not that he had no experience with being banned before. Back in Shanghai, his program had once been suspended by the Shanghai SARFT, but this decree #43 was totally different thing compared to that. This wasn't simply just stopping one or two of his programs. This was a total ban that was meant to fully 'kill' him off!
But even if Zhang Ye could not accept it, he could not help but admit that his kick on Lee Anson was a little extreme. It was too much and he had broken the law. It was exactly because of that that led to his inclusion on the ban list. Right now, even if he were not satisfied with it, he could not say a word!
It was maddening!
Were they meaning to force this bro into a corner?!
......
Online.
A lot of people had seen this also realized this.
”Ah!”
