The old reporter was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, “Yeah. When I heard that it was a live broadcast, I was stunned. I have quite a number of friends in the Beijing television media circles. From what they say, Zhang Ye has long been banned from appearing on live broadcasts there. It’s no different than trying to shield themselves from thieves. The Shanghai SARFT didn’t know?”
A few of the reporters spoke quite loudly.
The first row of Shanghai SARFT staff heard it and turned back in surprise. What? Zhang Ye had previously done this before? And more than once? Holy sh*t! How didn’t we know about it!? Why didn’t anyone tell them? They were the Shanghai SARFT and their scope was only in Shanghai. There was not much interests that intersected with Beijing, and since they were not in the media industry, they could not follow up with so much provincial news every day. Hence, many of them really did not know of Zhang Ye’s notoriety. They subconsciously believed no one in the industry would dare openly challenge them!
