I'm Really a Superstar

Chapter 1399: Anyone who comes will be sent packing by me!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

At Zhang Ye’s Studio.

Everyone was at a loss to laugh or cry.

Little Wang brought over a few forms. “Director Zhang, these are the listings of performances held in China by some of the Japanese and Korean celebrities in the coming days. There will be three concerts held on next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The remaining ones are all listed in here as well.”

Zhang Ye nodded and said, “OK.”

He took it from her and flipped through it page by page.

The performance listings was an internal document that was of course given to him by Secretary Bai. Needless to say, when a foreign celebrity performs in China, or even when a local celebrity holds a concert or a tour, they all have to register with the overseeing authority first. As Wu Zeqing’s secretary, Secretary Bai was easily the most informed. These information were all filed with the SARFT after all. This was Zhang Ye’s home field. With just a call, there wasn’t much information that he couldn’t get his hands on.

His cell phone suddenly started ringing away.

The calls were all from Zhang Ye’s friends.

Ning Lan.

“What are you planning?”

“I’m not planning anything.”

“If you’re not planning anything, why are you challenging those three people?”

“It was just a coincidence, a coincidence.”

“Cut the crap, you think I don’t know you well enough!?”

Chen Guang.

“Zhang’er, you’re starting something again?

“Am I?”

“Isn’t it obvious!”

“Do you mean to say that they’re allowed to hold their concerts, but I’m not allowed to do my tour?”

“But your timing is just too…”

“Hahaha, it’s just a coincidence.”

“What’s so coincidental about that!”

After bullshitting for half a day, he finally managed to brush off his friends.

Seeing that Zhang Ye had gotten off the phone, Zhang Zuo came up to him and said, “Are we really going to do this, Director Zhang? Those three people are all big names in Asia. Some are more popular than you and some are slightly less popular than you, but they’re still not pushovers. Even if we take them head on, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we can beat them. Besides, what are we really aiming for here? There’s no meaning in taking on just one or two of them. Even if you do vent your frustrations, the ban in Japan and Korea will still—”

Zhang Ye gave him a look and cut him off. “Who said that we’ll only be taking on the three of them?”

Zhang Zuo said, “Ah?”

Ha Qiqi also looked over in surprise.

Zhang Ye calmly said, “The Asian entertainment industry’s greatest influencers are the Korean celebrities, but that’s not something that we can change for now. But let me ask you all this: Which market is the largest one in the Asian entertainment industry? It’s here! It’s China! Without the Japanese and Korean markets, it is not going to be easy for me to reach the Asian summit. But similarly for them, they won’t be able to keep their place on the Asian A-list if they lose the Chinese market, much less reach the Asian summit. They’re all going to fall off the rankings! They won’t let me play in Japan and Korea, right? Then fine, I’m also not going to let them flourish over here in the Chinese market!” He pointed at the performance listings in his hand and said, “The few of them? Starting today, any Japanese or Korean celebrity who comes here will be sent packing by me, one by one! If there are ten of them, I’ll send all ten of them back to where they came from! I’ll make it extremely difficult for them to make any progress in the Chinese market! I’ll make sure that all of them scram back home!”

Isn’t it just creating trouble?

Who’s afraid of who!

This bro will gladly take all of you on!

Do you people think I can’t get to you on my home turf? You must be joking!

Ha Qiqi gasped!

Little Wang wiped away her sweat!

Tong Fu’s legs turned to rubber!

The staff at the studio looked at one another. They had all been shocked by the words of Director Zhang. My God! Has he gotten serious? Director Zhang is really going all out this time! This is going to really blow up! And can they actually stop those Japanese and Korean stars? Just with Director Zhang alone? Just by the strength of their studio? Don’t even mention the far future. Just based on what was in front of them, how were they supposed to take on those three concerts? How were they supposed to fight them?

However, Zhang Ye already had a plan in mind.

How do you flatter others?

He didn’t know how to do that!

How do you step on others?

Now this, he was extremely experienced in!

Furthermore, the most important thing was that Zhang Ye was fighting on home field this time!

The time?

The location?

The parties involved?

He had the advantage in all of that!

As such, Zhang Ye was brave enough to take them on. He was fine even if he had to do this forever. You all might be more popular than me overseas, you all might be more popular than I am in Asia as well, but this is China. Over here, do you dare to compete with me in terms of popularity? Alright then, let’s do that and see how it turns out!

—This was who Zhang Ye was. The greatest thorn and the dirtiest hooligan in the entertainment industry. When he decided to get ruthless, there was absolutely no use in trying to reason with him!

…

Kimura Kazuya’s team.

“He’s obviously making trouble!”

“How despicable!”

“I’ve never come across such a type of person before!”

“I’ve never met someone as immoral as him either!”

“And to think he’s even the Asian philanthropic ambassador? Ptui! When has there ever been such a hooligan of an ambassador before!”

“What do we do now?”

“This guy’s too popular in China. The—”

“He can be popular for all we care. It has nothing to do with us. He can do his crosstalk and we can hold our concert. There shouldn’t be any conflict of interest, isn’t that so?”

“Hopefully.”

…

Kim Jichan’s team.

“That damned hooligan!”

“He’s trying to cause trouble!”

“He won’t succeed!”

“Right. He can sell his tickets, and we can sell ours.”

“I don’t believe we won’t be able to sell out our tickets!”

“Don’t worry about him. Have you contacted the livestreaming site yet?”

“I’ve already contacted them. They’re a very big platform in China.”

“Well, Park Jaesang’s concert is taking place before ours anyway. Let’s observe and see what that Zhang guy is planning so that we can be prepared for it.”

…

The three Japanese and Korean celebrities went about doing their own thing.

Plans for the concert ticket sales were also underway.

The concert preparations intensified and were not thrown off by Zhang Ye’s Studio messing around. Because up to now, they still did not believe that a totally unrelated crosstalk tour would pressure them at all.

However, the Chinese did not seem to think so!

In the Chinese entertainment industry.

“Did you see what’s going on? Zhang Ye has flipped out!”

“If it were anyone else, they would surely get angry as well. The Japanese and Korean citizens, media, and celebrities all ganged up to slander him, so who can possibly take that lying down? Besides, don’t forget about that temper of Zhang Ye’s!”

“If I were them, I would definitely change the time.”

“Me too.”

“Thinking to back then…Hai, there are just too many examples.”

“But what will Zhang Ye do to compete with them?”

“Who knows? I just know that this fellow has got too many despicable ways of doing things!”

“Yeah. Zhang Ye’s Studio had been so quiet for the past few days. So it was all because they were preparing for this big move. I read online that someone had said that Zhang Ye had finally wised up and learned to keep a low profile. I nearly burst out laughing at that. If that fellow can learn something like that, the Chinese entertainment industry would not have been in such chaos for the past few years!”

The Chinese netizens.

“Teacher Zhang has made his move!”

“Something big is gonna happen! Something big is gonna happen!”

“I also have an ominous feeling!”

“Pfft, he’s clashed with someone again!”

“Zhang Ye is challenging Japan and Korea this time!”

“Supporting Zhang Ye! Just fight it out with them!”

“Especially that Park Jaesang and Kim Jichan! They were both involved in that fake news debacle from before that was used to stain Zhang Ye’s reputation! Such a way of getting attention is really disgusting! I only understand now. So it was because they were garnering attention for the promotions for their concerts in China!”

“Right! Supporting Zhang Ye!”

“This time, I’m on Zhang Ye’s side as well!”

“Damn, we should of course side with our own people!”

“Ah, I support Zhang Ye too. But I also like Park Jaesang-oppa. What should I do?”

“This is so conflicting! I don’t know if I should buy the tickets to Kim Jichan’s concert or not. I love him so much!”

The netizens were also divided on the issue!
