Chapter 1182: The two extremes of the entertainment industry!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
At the main entrance of Media College.
Many of the students were surprised.
"Zhang Ye!"
"It's Professor Zhang!"
"Our senior is here!"
"Senior!"
"Hi, senior!"
Many of the students were referring to him affectionately as their "senior." Zhang Ye could be considered the most famous figure to have graduated from Media College. Many of the teachers would often bring him up during their lessons as an example to motivate everyone. Um, but of course, there were also times when they used him as an example of how not to behave.
That assistant director came up to him. "Teacher Zhang, what's the meaning of this?"
Zhang Ye nudged his chin out in defiance, "And what's the meaning of you blocking everyone from entering?"
"We're in the middle of filming a movie," the assistant director justified.
Zhang Ye said, "If you want to film, do it to the side! Why are you blocking the entrance!"
The assistant director pointed to the other side and said, "This scene will include a shot using this as the background, so we cannot have anyone standing around here. What if the scene gets messed up?"
Zhang Ye said loudly, "I don't care about that! You find a way to handle it yourselves!"
The assistant director was enraged. "How can you be so unreasonable?"
Zhang Ye pointed at the students and said, "The students have just returned to school with their luggage and are standing at the school gates waiting to enter, yet you people are here stopping them from going in. So who are the ones being unreasonable here!"
The assistant director said furiously, "We're filming here and have already informed the school!"
Another person from the film crew came up saying, "We're not finished filming the scene yet, so we can't have anyone standing around over here!"
Zhang Ye said, "What's the big deal with your filming? This is Media College, a place for students to attend classes. Don't come here and disrupt the students' daily lives. You can film all you want, but how can you block the entrance and not allow the students of the school to enter? Do you think your film crew is that big a deal!? You're even trampling on the people who rightfully belong here?"
The students also started shouting!
"Right!"
"What's the big deal about your shoot?"
"Coming up to us with that arrogant tone of yours, are you people trying to bully us!"
"We're just trying to return to school, is there anything wrong with that?"
"They even wanted to take away the students' phones just now!"
"Hmph, stop acting all smug!"
That assistant director said, "If you all have anything that you're unhappy with, get the school authorities to talk to me!"
Zhang Ye said, "I am the school authority!"
Zhang Ye: Associate Professor of the School of Broadcast Hosting at Media College.
The assistant director choked on his words, but firmly got out, "Professor Zhang, this is a movie funded by Taiqi Films. We're on a tight schedule and tight on time, you…"
Taiqi Films, the largest film and television company in the country!
Just this name alone was enough to cause anyone in the entire entertainment industry to cower!
And yet, Zhang Ye pulled away the cordoning tape that the film crew had put up. "I don't fucking care whose movie this is!" Then he said to the students, "Just go in through here!"
The students and their parents rowdily entered!
"Oh!"
"Let's go!"
"We can finally go in."
Two of the film crew's staff were infuriated. They went over and tried to prevent the students from entering!
At this moment, the Leg of God appeared again!
When Zhang Ye's outstretched leg came out, the two staff members immediately staggered and fell flat onto the ground!
"Little Li!"
"Little Zhou!"
"How can you hit them?"
The film crew's staff were having none of it. Over twenty people ran over!
But Zhang Ye did not look bothered. He pointed at the gate and yelled, "Keep coming in! Let me see who dares to block anyone from doing so!"
The school authorities had been alerted as well. Quite a number of teachers came rushing over to the entrance.
"What's this?"
"Professor Zhang, what's going on here?"
"Aiyo, why is there fighting?"
From their rest area, the film's main cast finally came over.
Ning Lan shouted, "All of you, stop!"
A person from the film crew said, "Sister Ning, he's pushing it too far!"
"How can we continue filming?" the assistant director said angrily.
Ning Lan looked at Zhang Ye speechlessly. The two of them were very familiar with each other and also on very good terms in private. "Zhang'er, give me some face, will you? We should be done after two more scenes. It won't take more than ten minutes. I'll speak to the students afterwards and apologize for inconveniencing them, alright?"
But Zhang Ye said, "Not even for a minute. Now's the peak period for students returning to school. What's the meaning of blocking the way into the school like this? Sister Ning, it's not that I'm not giving you face. But just based on those people's attitudes, I will not budge for anyone!" He pointed at the assistant director and said, "Do you guys want to leave by yourselves or would you rather that I show you all out?"
"Heh, did you wake up on the wrong side of bed?"
"Yes!"
"Why are you shouting at me?"
Several of the Media College teachers who learned about the situation complained as well. "They're blocking the way just because of their filming? They even yelled at the students?" And so, the teachers did not feel that Zhang Ye had done anything wrong this time.
A parent said, "Those people were really threatening just now!"
Another parent harrumphed, "They have no manners at all!"
The accusations were getting louder and louder as the film crew started coming under pressure!
Finally, their director said, "Let's go."
"Director!"
"This…"
"We're stopping the shoot already?"
The film crew's staff were all asking questions.
The director said with a sunken expression, "How can we continue filming with things like this?"
Giving in to the pressure, the film crew finally packed up and left. The pressure from the students and school authorities was only secondary. The main cause was actually Zhang Ye. He was known to be a really stubborn and difficult person to deal with. He did not even give any face to Ning Lan. When Zhang Ye flared up, he really did not care about who was on the other side.
When the film crew left, the students broke out into cheers!
"We can finally go in!"
"Thank you, senior!"
"Senior, thanks!"
"You were really fearsome!"
"Your voice is so domineering!"
The students had endless admiration for him. This was really a case of seeing is believing! They'd only heard stories of Zhang Ye doing amazing things. But when they finally witnessed Zhang Ye getting mad in person, the feeling they got was totally different from hearing those stories. Professor Zhang's domineering image was so satisfying to see!
Taiqi Films.
A famous director.
Ning Lan as the lead actress.
All of those names were quite famous!
Not just anyone would dare to step forward to speak up for the students like this!
Old Wang was dumbfounded!
Xiaoqian didn't know how to react. She turned to ask Yu Yingyi, "Is he always like that?"
"He's always like this." Yu Yingyi said helplessly, "It's not like you've never read about his news these past few years. He's always getting into fights with people. Today's situation is one of the better ones since they didn't actually come to blows."
Xiaoqian said, "I guess I now understand why people are so easily offended by him. I just wonder why he can do so well in the entertainment circle with that temper of his."
Yu Yingyi gave a wry smile. "I wish I knew too."
Zhang Ye had just come back to the group after handling the problem. He answered the question with the most pretentious of statements, "Because of justice!"
Old Wang rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on!"
Di di di.
Di di di.
The notifications from his chat app kept sounding.
Zhang Ye took out his cell phone and had a look. There were a lot of notifications from the Goof Group chat in which Ning Lan was chiding Zhang Ye.
Ning Lan: "This fellow is driving me to my grave!"
Ning Lan: "Disloyal friend! How can he turn on me just like that!"
Ning Lan: "@ZhangYe! Show yourself!"
Huo Dongfang sent a smiley face. "What's with the two of you?"
Xiaodong blinked. "What's the matter, Sister Ning?"
Fan Wenli: "Pass the popcorn."
Amy: "I'm just gonna sit here and watch."
Ning Lan sent a flood of messages describing Zhang Ye's "crimes" in detail.
Finally, Zhang Ye appeared. He sent a silly and adorable sticker of a kitten repeatedly blinking its eyes.
Ning Lan was somewhat amused even in her anger. "You dare show yourself? And act cute?"
Zhang Ye sent another similar sticker.
Ning Lan replied with an enraged emote.
Zhang Ye sent an innocent-looking cat sticker.
Ning Lan replied with a gif of someone getting beaten up.
The two of them started resorting to arguing with these stickers. It amused the other celebrities in the chat group when they realized that the argument between these two wasn't going to go out of hand after all.
For those who did not understand them, they might have thought that these two had really fallen out. But anyone who knew better would know that the two of them would never fall out over a small matter like this. After all, it was Zhang Ye who went by himself to rescue Ning Lan when her film crew was surrounded by a group of martial artists and stopped from leaving.
However, Zhang Ye would definitely have offended all of the others in the film crew. Hai, since this was not the first time it had happened, everyone had gotten used to it.
In the entertainment industry, there were two extremes.
The first extreme was Zhang Yuanqi's friends. She had the greatest network of friends in the entertainment circle!
The other extreme was Zhang Ye's foes. He also had the greatest number of enemies in the entertainment circle!
These two extremes would probably not be surpassed by anyone within the next ten years!
