Chapter 1404: The three Japanese and Korean celebrities are crying!

On this day.

At Zhang Ye’s parents’ house.

It was Old Wu’s day off and included a rare family lunch.

At the dinner table, Wu Zeqing said gently, “I’ve heard that in the past few days, the Japanese and Korean celebrities have been going through a lot because of you? They weren’t even able to sell out their concert tickets?”

Zhang Ye smacked his lips and said, “I guess so.”

His mother rolled her eyes. “Oh, why are you so awful?”

His parents also knew heard this in the news.

For the past two days, a crazy amount of attention had been given to this event.

Zhang Ye said, “I was just letting them have a taste of their own medicine. They were spreading fake news about me to hype up their concerts. The Japanese and Korean people even came together to slander me and restricted me from entering their countries? And stopped me from going over there? So now that they’ve come into my territory, how could I possibly let them off easy!”

His mother said, “Shouldn’t that be within Zeqing’s authority? Why don’t you just get Zeqing to chase them away and handle the problem?”

Wu Zeqing said, “He doesn’t want me to interfere.”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “There’s no need to bother her. It’s just a small matter. This bro will handle it himself.”

Wu Zeqing asked, “Tomorrow will the very first show of your crosstalk tour. Are you ready?”

“Don’t worry.” Zhang Ye took a bite of food and said, “I’ve been working with Old Yao for so long. We’ll be able to handle a simple crosstalk. It will definitely be executed perfectly.”

Face?

Respect?

Reputation?

He wanted it all this time!

However these people arrived, he would send them packing the same way!

The countdown to the start of the events was getting closer!

Elsewhere, the Japanese and Korean celebrity teams were panicking!

Park Jaesang was currently in a call.

“Didn’t we already agree to it, Old Hu?”

“Jaesang, I really have some last-minute things to take care of.”

“Then who am I going to get as my guest star?”

“Try asking someone else.”

Kimura Kazuya.

“How can you just decide not to come?”

“Kazuya, it’s not that we don’t wish to support your concert, but you’re putting us in a really difficult situation too.”

“In China, we have the best relationship with your band.”

“But you guys are now in a conflict with Zhang Ye. Although we’ve never had any dealings with Teacher Zhang before, with Teacher Zhang’s status in the industry, there’s no choice for us but to show him respect.”

“But!”

“Let’s end the call here. I have to go.”

The concerts were about to begin!

But they’d only just realized that they couldn’t find any celebrities to support their acts!

They were all big names in Asia!

Yet no one wanted to play for them?

This was absolutely the biggest joke ever!

This was a death smack to their faces!

Normally, when these foreign celebrities came to China to hold a concert. they would invite some of their Chinese celebrity friends to guest star during the show. At their level, or any Japanese or Korean celebrity who could host such a large concert in China, they would know some people at the very least! Out of the ten people that they invited, even if seven could not make it, the remaining ones would have no issue joining them at their concerts. It was always the same every year, finding a local celebrity to help open the show and increase the hype of the headliner.

But it was different this time!

All of those whom they had been in contact with since a month or two ago had changed their minds!

First, their reputations had now gone downhill and everyone was cursing at them. The fallout from the high ticket prices could also be said to have had a fatal effect on them. Second and most important, it was Zhang Ye’s attitude towards the whole affair. It was very obvious that Zhang Ye was in direct conflict with the Japanese and Korean celebrities with the intention of challenging them. If it were Zhang Ye who started bullying them for no reason, they would not care. But the issue here was that it wasn’t so! Zhang Ye had been forced to do this after the damaging fake news. Most of the Japanese and Korean celebrities, including Kim Jichan and Park Jaesang, had also participated in it, so Zhang Ye couldn’t be blamed for falling out with them. So at this critical juncture, who in the country would dare to step on Zhang Ye’s toes? Zhang Ye’s friends and those Chinese celebrities who sought to overturn the injustice against him were even secretly cheering for him!

Invite us to your concerts?

Forget it!

Just play on your own this time!

We really can’t afford to do this favor for you all!

Everyone’s thoughts and concerns were surprisingly consistent!

The three celebrity teams from Japan and Korea were on the verge of tears. It wasn’t the first time that some of them were here in China, but it wasn’t like this in the past. Back then, be it their fans or celebrity friends, everyone had always been very friendly to them. So why was it different now?

Zhang Ye!

It was all because of that person!

That they got thwarted right at the start!

And encountered difficulties at every turn!

Did he really have such widespread influence in China?

What should they do then?

How should they handle things?

If there were no supporting acts?

Then they could only take it upon themselves to carry the entire performance!

On the other hand, preparations for Zhang Ye’s tour were already in full swing.

He even managed to invite quite a few crosstalk comedians for the supporting acts.

A few of them were crosstalk rookies, and two were crosstalk veterans who had never conflicted with Zhang Ye before!

The lineup couldn’t be called prestigious, but it was good enough, nonetheless. Several of these crosstalk comedians had been brought onto the Spring Festival Gala by Zhang Ye this year, so they were currently at the height of their popularity as well. Although this was Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai’s tour, it would be impossible for them two to carry the entire show all by themselves. They would definitely need to have some supporting acts. Zhang Ye’s relationship with the crosstalk world was not good, but ever since his marriage, the crosstalk world was no longer at loggerheads with him. Besides, the crosstalk comedians who took part in this year’s Spring Festival Gala could easily be summoned with just a phone call by Zhang Ye. This showed that everyone really gave him a lot of respect as well. The Spring Festival Gala’s executive director role had indeed helped Zhang Ye build up quite a fair few connections. This was especially useful at crucial times, like the one he was going through right now.

Many celebrities were even behaving uproariously on Weibo.

Chen Guang’s Weibo: “Zhang’er, let me go and give a crosstalk for you too!”

Ning Lan: “Actually, my dream has always been to become a crosstalk comedian!”

Zhang Xia: “@ZhangYe Reserve a ticket for me. I’ll go and support you.”

Xiaodong: “Heehee, I want a ticket too. Since I can’t do crosstalk, I can only go and give you my support!”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ye did not turn any of them down.

Zhang Ye’s Weibo: “Alright, I’ll see all of you there then. Let’s all have fun and whoever wishes to come onstage to perform, I’ll play the fall guy for you. Hahahaha!”

And back to the Japanese and Korean celebrities.

It had been several days, but the netizens were still scolding them!

“I want a refund for my ticket!”

“Hurry up and scram!”

“Right, don’t ever come back to China!”

“We don’t like people who just come here with the aim of making a quick buck!”

Park Jaesang’s concert tickets were somehow sold out.

But the other two celebrities were not that lucky.

Quite a few of Kim Jichan’s concert premium tickets were unsold and wasted.

As for Kimura Kazuya, he was the least popular in China and also the one who suffered the greatest losses this time. Of all the concert tickets, even some tickets from the lowest tier couldn’t be sold and were still being promoted on the ticketing agent’s website.

Although it seemed like they had only lost a small sum since most of the tickets were sold, the damage to their reputations was fatal!

On one side, it was boisterous.

On the other side, nobody showed any interest.

With this comparison, the difference was too great!

It was so great that everyone could feel the sting on the faces of those three Japanese and Korean celebrities!

They were all Asian A-listers!

And some were even more popular than Zhang Ye in Asia!

Could it get any more miserable than this?

Seeing this, those in the industry could not help but sigh.

“Zhang Ye is really capable at picking fights with other people. He must have gone through loads of battles.”

“Even before their shows have started, he’s already crushed all three of them!”

“When it comes to being a hooligan, those three aren’t a match for Zhang Ye even if they team up!”

“Let’s see how things will turn out after their concerts take place.”

“Yeah! Whether or not they can turn things around all depends on that.”

“Right, it’s still too early to say who has won. After all, no one has put on a crosstalk show in recent years.”
