“Even ‘Little Bunnies Be Good’ was created by him?”
“Holy ****, I wouldn’t know if you didn’t say it, but the moment you said it, it’s really frightening!”
“Who is this person? He’s so awesome!”
“That’s nothing. It is only now that you understand? Note that the most famous ‘Flying Bird and Fish’ was written by him. I heard this poem even saved a life.”
“I know this person, too. I especially like ‘The Song of the Stormy Petrel’. It’s so aggressive!”
“With these qualifications, he can even vie for the Golden Microphone Awards. Why was there so much controversy over a Silver Microphone Award? If he doesn’t get it, who else can get it? Are the judges blind?”
Some people had heard of him, while there were even more people who heard of him for the first time.
After hearing all this, many people were astonished by Zhang Ye’s achievements!
Zhang Huo carried on, “I’m not sure if Teacher Zhang has brought with him an acceptance speech. I recall that the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet was also hosted by me, and the acceptance speech Teacher Zhang gave could only be described as art. It is as good as his talent for poetry.” As they were colleagues, Zhang Huo also knew him, so he added on quite a bit more. This was also to ease his tension, since the he was at an important occasion, so even a senior like Zhang Huo could not feel at ease.
Zhang Ye smirked, “Since Teacher Zhang Huo has mentioned my poems, then I will use a poem for my acceptance speech.”
Zhang Huo laughed out, “Then that will be a treat to our ears, for us to hear your new work for the first time.” After he finished, he stepped back and gave the stage to Zhang Ye.
Zhang Yuanqi also went down. She sat in the first row, listening.
Zhang Ye touched the microphone stand in front of him, “I actually did not wish to say anything today. I want to use this occasion and setting to thank the station’s management that helped me. Our Beijing Radio Station’s Station Head, and our radio station’s Deputy Station Head Jia. Without the strong support from my Leaders, there would not be today’s Zhang Ye!”
…
Below.
When Deputy Station Head Jia heard this, he thought, “At least you know how to appreciate favors!”
However, the Station Head did not even give Zhang Ye a look. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Ye had not entered his eyes!
Jia Yan snorted in his heart. He looked down on Zhang Ye. To even say that you received help from the Station Head and Deputy Station Head? You sure know how to kiss ass! Now you know the importance of having a good relationship with the Leader? It’s too late! For you to obtain an award you should not receive! It is considered an accident! The Leader will not let you go. He will definitely remember to take revenge on you! Zhāng Yě was someone close to the Station Head! You even dared to steal his award? It’s too late trying to suck up now!
…
Big Sis Zhou said with a surprise, “What’s Little Zhang saying?”
“This doesn’t sound like what Little Zhang would say.” Auntie Sun was also wondering.
Tian Bin interjected, “He’s been forced by the situation. From a certain perspective, Little Zhang has matured.”
The old editor sighed, “Indeed. Hai, this is also a chance to reconcile relations. Little Zhang is still quite smart. He knows that this situation is not a time for private emotions.”
…
The famous Program Producer formerly from Central TV was also offstage. He had been transferred to the Beijing Television Station for work, so he was naturally invited for the Golden Microphone Awards.
“Old Hu, this is the newcomer that you recommended?”
“Yes. He is Zhang Ye, a very talented young man.”
“His looks are quite plain. You want him to be your segment’s host or guest? I don’t think it’s appropriate.”
“I seldom make a mistake in my judgment of people. This kind of talent is not met even in a hundred years. Isn’t he going to recite a poem soon? Listen well. See if my evaluation is wrong.”
Hu Fei began promoting Zhang Ye.
…
“Sis Zhang, you know this Zhang Ye?” a young judge in the first row spoke softly.
Zhang Yuanqi gave a smile, “I don’t know him.”
“Then why did you give the additional nomination to him?” The youth was puzzled.
Zhang Yuanqi said, “I’ve seen his ‘See Me or Not’ poem before. I think it’s very good.”
The young judge was enlightened, “I see. This person’s poems are indeed exceptional. I have not seen ‘See Me or Not’, but ‘Shuidiao Getou’ was like a precious jewel falling into my hands.”
Another old judge said, “Let’s see what poem he will recite today. I happen to have heard of his ‘A Generation’. I heard that there were some problems with that bunch of people from the Beijing Writers’ Association?”
…
Other than these industry insiders, other people were not looking forward to it.
“Thank the Leaders?”
“What’s nice about such an acceptance speech?”
