Chapter 473 - Zhang Yes Big Move! (1/2)
Chapter 473: Zhang Ye's Big Move!
Department 11 at Central TV.
Internal meeting at the compet.i.tion's program team.
There were about nine people seated at the meeting table.
The head said, ”There are no problems with the recording hall, right?”
”It's all ready.” A woman said.
”What about the compet.i.tion's divisions?” The first person asked again.
A middle-aged man, third one from the left, said, ”We have already contacted people from the notary office. They will be here tomorrow to randomly a.s.sign the divisions.”
Suddenly, a youth paused and said, ”Director, now there is one problem. Two banned celebrities listed on decree #43 have registered for the compet.i.tion. We had no way to deal with it temporarily, so had to do it through the normal processes.”
The head said, ”Oh, I heard about that. It's alright. Since this compet.i.tion doesn't limit the partic.i.p.ants, then things can go according to procedure. However, during the editing, you must monitor it. No matter how well they perform, Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's crosstalk program is not to be aired, nor should it be uploaded. The higher-ups have already issued the decree. Those banned celebrities' programs can't even be aired on the internet, so make sure to pay careful attention to it.”
”Understood.”
”Got it.”
Towards Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's partic.i.p.ation, Central TV's Department 11 were extremely speechless about it. They knew the two of them were here to mess things up, but after a long discussion, they could not deprive them of their right to partic.i.p.ate. As they had no reason to do so, they could only prevent the banned duo from appearing in broadcasts, but could not interfere with their personal freedom. Besides, this was not an ordinary entertainment program, but the National Crosstalk and Skit Compet.i.tion. It was an authoritative compet.i.tion jointly organized by the Crosstalk a.s.sociation and six other departments. If they wanted to refuse Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai the right to partic.i.p.ate, it wasn't like they could not do it. However, if they were to do so, the compet.i.tion would lose a lot of its impartiality and open style. They might even lose their reputation. They could prevent anyone they did not want to partic.i.p.ate from partic.i.p.ating? A champion was decided internally? Silencing the dissidents? If this kind of rumors spread amongst the people, it wouldn't be nice. It would be a bad influence on their program, so after a discussion between the program team and the organizing committee, they finally decided to let Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai partic.i.p.ate. It was not worth harming their reputation just for two people who were likely not to be promoted to the elimination rounds.
As for promoting?
That was a joke!
Without any broadcast, their partic.i.p.ating work wouldn't be shown with them, so how could they be promoted? Besides, if the two of them were to produce a program or act in a show, they could still believe it, but crosstalk? What crosstalk can they do!? Crosstalk was a language art form. Without decades of foundational skills, there was no way they could pa.s.s!
......
On the same day.
News broke out on the internet.
Once the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of numerous people, stunning them!
”Ah? Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai are going to compete in the crosstalk compet.i.tion?”
”What the f**k! Did I see wrongly?”
”It's just a rumor, right? News from the grapevine cannot be believed. It's impossible!”
”It should be true. I think it was leaked from Central TV's Department 11.”
”Aren't they banned?”
”That's right, how can they partic.i.p.ate?”
”I don't know either. What's going on?”
”Banning refers to limiting the avenues for broadcasting and not limiting their personal freedom or civil rights. It's like a taking an exam to be a civil servant, you might previously have committed crimes, and even if you pa.s.sed the exam, they would not hire you, but that does not mean that you are barred from registering for the exam. You can still take the exam. Haha, I'm sure this idea was from Teacher Zhang Ye. He found a loophole and plans to mess up the crosstalk and skit compet.i.tion, causing them some trouble, but to truly hope that Teacher Zhang Ye can get any good placing, then that will be hoping for too much. How can Zhang Ye know anything about crosstalk?”
”Then wouldn't it be meaningless to join? Would they be aired?”
”Definitely not.”
”How Teacher Zhang does things is always so surprising! Hahaha!”
”s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g things up for others would be good, after all, Teacher Zhang Ye has nothing better to do at home. He came out to 'have a ride'! Pfft! A comical feeling just hit me!”
”I also feel like laughing. Zhang Ye is planning on teaming up with Yao Jiancai to do crosstalk? I can't imagine that scene! Somehow I am looking forward to it!”
