Chapter 545 - Voting begins! (1/2)
Chapter 545: Voting begins!
On Weibo.
Many of those who liked Zhang Ye had come online to observe the happenings.
”Wow, Teacher Zhang has finally appeared!”
”Zhang Ye is aiming for the Most Popular Celebrity Awards as well?”
”Haha, there's something interesting to watch again this time. The first battle of Teacher Zhang Ye after his comeback!”
”He's posturing as though he's different from the others! This guy is too good at posturing! He's even using Englis.h.!.+ But…I like it! Hehehe!”
”'Follow your own course, and let people talk'? Well said! How philosophical! Only from Zhang Ye's mouth can such timeless quotes come out as though they were cabbages being sold in the market. He can just throw them out whenever he wants to and we can get as much of them as we want like it's on a one-for-one offer! If we have to narrow it, this has to be Zhang Ye's literary talents!”
”Teacher Zhang, we're cheering you on!”
”We're all supporting you and have voted for you!”
”Right, members of Zhang Ye's fan club, let's do it!”
”This catchphrase is really good, it seems like it's coming from the same direction as The Road Not Taken!”
”The voting is about to begin, let's not lose to the others. We will give our votes for the most popular celebrity to Teacher Zhang! To celebrate the return of Face-smacking Zhang, we have got to vote him up!”
”I'm here!”
”I'm here to support too!”
”Nothing to say except, I support Zhang Ye!”
”Teacher Zhang, you're finally back. We've waited for so long!”
Zhang Ye still had quite a large number of fans on Weibo, in comparison to the average C-list celebrity. The cohesiveness of his fans and their loyalty could even match up to some of the B- or A-list celebrity's fans. In other words, they were all hardcore fans who liked Zhang Ye very much. Even when he was not active before he updated his Weibo with that message, these fans could understand Zhang Ye and came rus.h.i.+ng like the wind to support Zhang Ye.
But there were many netizens who also had differing opinions.
”This year's most popular celebrity rankings should still have those j.a.panese and Korean stars, right? There should be a few top spots that will be taken by them for sure. Zhang Ye has no chance.”
“Although Zhang Ye's popularity is quite good, but compared to those top celebrities, it is nothing. There is still a large gap in the quality and volume of votes. If Zhang Ye wants to compete, the only thing he has is the recent coverage he has been getting for the mathematical conjecture that he proved. With the help of that, I think he should be able to place in the top 100 without any problems, but top 50? That could prove a little difficult.”
”That might not be necessary. Zhang Ye's a wonder in the entertainment business. He's different from those common celebrities. Even if he were to break into the top 50 spots, I wouldn't be too surprised.”
”He's asking for votes a little too late.”
”Yeah, so many of the other celebrities had already started asking for votes a few days ago.”
”I'm not optimistic about Zhang Ye's chances too. If he can even get into the top 100 spots, I would say he has done well, because that person's style does not have anything in common with the world's 'most popular'!”
If he can get into the top 50 spots, it will be an extremely good result for him. As there were close to 10,000 celebrities' names up for voting, and even included writers, models, overseas celebrities, placing in the top 50 would mean that he was already a top act in the entertainment circle. At least from previous years, those who managed to place in the top 50 were either B-list or A-list celebrities. Even for the B-list celebrities, they did not number many since this poll also included overseas celebrities like the j.a.panese, Korean, European, and American actors or singers. Many of them would occupy the spots in the top 50, and as such, being placed among them already said a lot.
It was almost 12 PM.
Many Weibo users had already logged on and focused to give support to their idols with their one or two votes. Every account could vote for the most popular celebrity as well as the most unpopular celebrity.
The poll had attracted countless people to Weibo. Zhang Ye was not the most well-known celebrity here and was just one name among many others. He could not compare to those A-list celebrities who got most of the attention, but compared to many others, his Weibo post could still get some attention. Those who liked or disliked him had all seen it!
At his grandma's house.
The 3 sisters were getting busy.
The eldest younger sister sent a message into a group chat with a link and asked, ”Is everyone around? Cla.s.smates with Weibo, please give your vote to Zhang Ye. Thank you!”
”Hey, Sis Dan!”
”Dandan, I'm coming!”
”Cla.s.smate Cao has spoken, so we must support!”
”Alright, I'm casting my vote immediately!”
”Oh, my vote's already been reserved for Brother Yan. Sorry about that Dandan, maybe next time.”
The eldest younger sister was quite good looking, good tempered, quiet, and got along very well with her cla.s.smates in university. Although no one knew that Zhang Ye was her cousin, many of them still gave her face. Only those who had their own idols that they wanted to vote for could not oblige, but the others were fine with whoever they voted for. Under Cao Dan's call, they went to the polling page to cast their votes for Zhang Ye.
When the second sister saw this, she also followed suit and sent a message to her high school's group chat: ”Brothers and sisters! Weibo's Most Popular Celebrity Awards poll has begun! Please vote for Zhang Ye!”
Her cla.s.smates chattered at this.
”Who is Zhang Ye?”
”I don't know this person.”
”How can you not know? He was the G.o.d who proved the global mathematical conjecture a few days ago. Tongtong, why are you pulling votes for Zhang Ye? Is he your idol?”
”There are so many handsome guys out there, why choose Zhang Ye?”
”Woah, Tongtong, you've got really unique tastes!”
The second sister whined, ”Stop talking nonsense and vote!”
