Chapter 1360: The birth of a new Heavenly King!Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

At Zhang Ye’s parents’ house.

“Has the rankings index been updated yet?”

“Yes.”

“How is it?”

“…”

“Say something, will ya!”

“He’s in the S-list!”

“Are you serious? Check it again!”

“I’ve already checked it three times! Our son has made it to the top!”

“Good! Good! Very good!”

“I-I’ll go and call our relatives!”

His father was so excited that he couldn’t say anything else!

His mother’s hand that was holding the phone was even trembling:

“Hello, Mom, Little Ye has reached the top!”

“Hello, Brother, your nephew has reached the top. Yes! For real!”

“Hello, Little Ye’s Aunt. Little Ye, he…Little Ye—”

His mother made the calls one by one, and her tears were slowly rolling down her cheeks as she did so.

It had taken too long. They had been waiting so long for this moment that when it finally came, they were in disbelief that this was really happening!

…

At Zhang Ye’s first uncle’s house.

“Dandan, whose call was that?”

“It was from Eldest Aunt. Bro-Brother has reached the top!”

“What? We have a…superstar in our family now?”

“Brother is so awesome! He’s the best!”

“Little Ye has finally made a name for himself!”

…

At Zhang Ye’s Studio.

Screams and cheers erupted!

“It’s done!”

“God!”

“Director Zhang has done it!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

…

At Yao Jiancai’s house.

“Dad! Look at this, quick!”

“I saw it already!”

“God, Uncle Zhang has done it! He’s really done it!”

“This night oughta belong to him anyway. Little Zhang hasn’t had it easy these past few years. This should be the best gift that the world can give him for the new year!”

“I’m so happy for Uncle Zhang!”

…

At the team office of a Heavenly Queen.

“Heavens!”

“Zhang Ye has really become an S-lister!”

“That can’t be possible! Just how much popularity has the Spring Festival Gala brought him!”

“I’ve done some calculations. It should be an astronomical figure!”

“This fellow is too fearsome!”

“Little Lian, stop addressing him as this or that fellow.”

“Ah?”

“Zhang Ye is now on equal standing with our Heavenly Queen Sister.”

“OK, Sister Li, I understand. I’ll pay attention to that.”

…

At Zhang Yuanqi’s house.

She was in a call with Fang Weihong.

“Sister Zhang, Teacher Zhang has really done it!”

“I see.”

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“I am, but not by much.”

“True, you already predicted that if there would be any changes to the S-list, the person coming up would definitely be Zhang Ye!”

…

At the team office of a Heavenly King.

“This is truly unbelievable!”

“It’s Zhang Ye who’s the unbelievable one!”

“Damn, he really came up!”

“Without much film credit to his name, not acting in any TV series, never taking on commercial appearances, and not even having a talent agency behind him, this person has actually reached the summit of the domestic entertainment circle? He has actually become one of the seven S-listers? Oh my God, I’m not dreaming, am I? If anyone told me in the past that this would happen, I would never have believed it!”

“He’s really like some kind of god!”

“Yeah, there has never been a celebrity like Zhang Ye in the entertainment industry, nor will there be another like him in the future! He’s truly one of a kind in the world of entertainment!”

…

In the crosstalk world.

In a group chat. Sᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Fuck!”

“He has really broken into the S-list!”

“How the hell did this happen! What’s going on with those Heavenly Kings and Queens!”

“Is there no one who can stop Zhang Ye? What are they all doing!”

“With Zhang Ye reaching the summit, can the crosstalk world have a peaceful time? Wouldn’t he come and scold us every other day?”

“Ai, there’s nothing we can do even if he does that. We were the ones who scolded him so often in the past. The fact that Zhang Ye hasn’t taken it up with us after he got married is already quite good.”

…

At an entertainment company.

“The world has changed!”

“It’s all to the credit of the Spring Festival Gala! It helped him ascend to the top!”

“Before Zhang Ye got to the summit, the entertainment industry was already greatly troubled by him! Now that he’s reached the top, will there be any peace in the entertainment circle?”

“Hai, who knows?”

“Zhang Ye is just a bomb waiting to go off in show business!”

“Yeah, even if there were going to be a change to the seven spots of the S-list, many people in the industry were hoping that the person coming up would not be Zhang Ye. They would have accepted anyone but him!”

“That’s right, but it’s always what we fear most that comes true! It just had to be this fellow who made it to the top!”

…

On Weibo.

“Tonight’s events will definitely go down in the annals of showbiz history!”

“I don’t know why, but I’m getting really excited over this as well!”

“I love Zhang Ye so much!”

“I’m so happy and proud of him!”

“He deserves this. Even if there are some issues with this fellow!”

“Zhang Ye is indeed well-qualified to sit in this Heavenly King’s throne!”

“The new generation has replaced the old. Sigh.”

“Congratulations, Zhang Ye!”

“Hahaha, Zhang Ye must be ecstatic at home right now!

“I wonder if he’ll show himself in public tomorrow. What would he say?”

“Remember the time Zhang Ye left behind a poem after he was forced out? ‘Vast snow clouds darken the skies. / The blowing north winds drive the geese and snow. / Worry not that close friends won’t appear on the road ahead. / Who in these lands don’t appreciate you?’ Haha! Wonderful! Delightful! Those people who scolded and doubted him back then could never have expected that Zhang Ye would be able to ascend to the top of the entertainment circle one day! Who could’ve expected something like that?”

“Although he hasn’t exactly reached the status of being appreciated worldwide, but who in China doesn’t know him? Zhang Ye has done it today!”

“I’ve been waiting for the rankings index to be updated all this while, but I wasn’t as excited as I thought I would be at the moment of revelation. Later on, I finally realized it was because Zhang Ye was already a Heavenly King in my heart. Watching him come all the way here from the time he was just a radio host to becoming one of the top in the entertainment circle, I’ve actually witnessed all of that. This is truly an honor of a lifetime!”

…

The dust settled!

The battle to reach the entertainment circle’s summit ended!

Zhang Ye had snatched a spot from one of those seven people purely through his own abilities, and this indicated the birth of a new Heavenly King in the Chinese entertainment circle!

This was the biggest restructure to the entertainment circle in ten years!

This was the first time that the S-list rankings had changed in ten years!

Some people were cheering!

Some were calling it good!

Some were looking forward to it!

Some were smiling bitterly over it!

Some people broke down!

Some people vomited blood!

Some people were troubled!

On this night, no one in the country was able to rest well!

—Zhang Ye!

—Zhang Ye!

—Zhang Ye!

Online, in the households, on the streets, on the news, on television, this name was splashed everywhere!

…

At home.

In the villa.

The constant ringing of the cell phone broke the silence of Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing’s time together.

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, “Take it.”

“Alright,” Zhang Ye said with a smile.

The call connected.

“Zhang’er, you must treat us to a meal!”

“But of course.”

“Haha, congratulations!”

“Thanks, and congratulations to you too.”

“Oh? What’s there to congratulate me for?”

“You know. When you go out in the future, you can brag that you’re friends with Lord Zhang. People are going to respect you so much because of that.”

“…Shut up!”

“Hahahaha!”

His phone was exploding with the continuous calls from his family and friends. Ha Qiqi, Chen Guang, Zhang Xia, Yao Jiancai, Fan Wenli, Zhang Yuanqi, Dong Shanshan, Yu Yingyi, his younger sisters, his uncles, his aunties, his paternal cousin, Deputy Station Head Hong, Deputy Minister Zhou, Hu Fei, Hou Ge, Hou Di, etc. In the end, even Lillian, who was on the other side of the globe, received this news and called over to congratulate him.

It was his moment of glory!

Old Wu was there with him.

His friends were there with him.

This was a night that Zhang Ye was destined to never forget.
