Chapter 1257: The plaza dancing craze!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

On the same day.

In the afternoon.

At Beijing Television.

"Director Zhang, the advertisers are asking if you could add a few lines for them in your script."

"I can't do that, they're not the title sponsors."

"Director Zhang, this is the song list for this week."

"Is it confirmed?"

"This was submitted by the singers, so there could still be changes."

"Alright, I got it."

"Director Zhang…"

"Director Zhang…"

Bringing over a show from his previous world untouched was a very big advantage. This was because the show would have already gone through a market testing phase in his previous world. But there were also disadvantages. For example, like now, due to all of the show's tasking, planning, and content being totally controlled by Zhang Ye, he needed to guarantee that the show would be 100% done according to how he pictured it. As such, it required every small detail to get Zhang Ye's approval before it could be implemented. This no doubt increased his workload by a lot.

He had to run around resolving issues.

He was busy wherever he went.

Finally, even Zhang Ye himself could not take it anymore. He found a sofa and lay down. He did not even sit; he just laid totally flat, looking extremely fatigued. His eyes were closed and it looked like he had fallen asleep, but at the same time, he didn't look asleep. He looked like he was paralyzed.

Xiao Lu brought over a document to him. "Director…"

Just as she was about to wake him up, Hou Ge, who was standing close by, stopped her. "Shh."

"Huh?" Xiao Lu looked at Hou Ge.

Hou Ge gave a wry smile. "Let Director Zhang rest for a bit."

Xiao Lu nodded and looked at the sofa. She felt a little bad for him but also wanted to laugh. After some thought, she suddenly took out her cell phone and opened the camera. After focusing for a long time, kacha, she took a picture of him.

Afterwards, the picture spread within the program team.

"Hahaha!"

"Zhang Ye's posture is the best!"

"Too funny!"

"Let's post it on the Internet."

"Alright, let me check with Brother Hu if we should do that."

When Hu Fei saw the picture, he immediately said, "Post it! Post it using the show's official Weibo account! Let everyone see how hard our program team's people are working!"

Soon, I Am a Singer's official Weibo posted the picture, with a caption: "A scene from behind the scenes. You've worked hard, Director Zhang." It was supposed to be a simple interaction with fans as well as a publicity post to promote their show a little. But the people of Beijing Television could not have expected that this picture would actually turn the entertainment industry upside down!

It was shared like crazy!

The netizens were all getting a laugh out of it!

"Aiyo!"

"Look at how ugly Zhang Ye's posture is!"

"Hahahaha! I'm dying!"

"Just looked at how he's lying down! There's really no one else who can look like that!"

"It looks so terrible!"

"I can see how this fellow must be burnt out!"

"His body must be drained!"

Out of the blue, countless netizens gave this posture a name: the Zhang Ye Sprawl!

Everyone was having fun parodying this. They Photoshopped the picture with other pictures and posted them online. It had almost become a movement that everyone was taking part in. Later, quite a few celebrities from the entertainment circle even joined in!

Zhang Xia posted a picture of herself in the "Zhang Ye Sprawl"!

"Pfft!"

"Even Grandma Zhang has joined in!"

"Hahahaha, Liked!"

Chen Guang also posted one.

"Old Chen's posture is too ugly!"

"I'm cramping up from laughing!"

And Yao Jiancai.historical

"Old Yao, you had better stop it!"

"How is this the Zhang Ye Sprawl? It's more like a Coffin Sprawl! I can see at a glance that you're not far from being in one soon!"

Ning Lan.

Huo Dongfang.

And many other celebrities were all imitating Zhang Ye's sprawl and posting their selfies to join in the memeing. All of a sudden, the Zhang Ye Sprawl had gone viral across the country!

The person at the center of it was the last to find out.

When Zhang Ye saw his inelegant picture being spread like crazy all over the Internet, he was dumbfounded. He was exhausted in the afternoon and had no idea that his picture was taken. The gesticulations of Beijing locals were already more ungainly to begin with, so he just lay down in the most comfortable position he could get into. But who could have guessed that it would become a meme? There were this many memes of him? So many celebrities had come to join the fun as well? Whoa! Even Zhang Yuanqi posted one of herself?

The people on Weibo went crazy!

"Ah!"

"Even the Heavenly Queen is here?"

"Hahahaha!"

"I think the Heavenly Queen's 'Zhang Ye Sprawl' is much more elegant and beautiful!"

"Zhang Ye is on fire again!"

"How does he keep doing this!"

"Because he's a wonder!"

The Zhang Ye Sprawl?

Wasn't this the same as the Ge You Sprawl 1 ?!

Zhang Ye didn't know what to say anymore. Hai, whatever makes you guys happy, I guess.

The picture of him in utter exhaustion had gone viral and made it into the Weibo headlines and the headlines of the major entertainment news outlets. He had gone viral all over the country, to the point where even his popularity score had jumped by a bit. This was really something that could happen to no one but him!

Meanwhile.

The explosiveness of "The Hottest Ethnic Trend" had finally arrived!

This storm had come too suddenly and strongly. It could only be described as a state of hysteria!

In a neighborhood in Shanghai.

"The vast horizon is my love!"

"At the foot of rolling green hills flowers bloom!"

In a plaza in Shenzhen.

"Whichever rhythm…"

"…that is the most rocking!"

"Whichever singing is the most! Happy!"

Beijing.

"Singing as we travel is the most! Carefree!"

"If we sing, we want to sing to our! Hearts'! Content!"

Sweeping!

Spreading!

In just a few days!

The wave of the plaza dance hysteria had swept across the entire country!

Beijing fell!

Shanghai fell!

Shenzhen fell!

Nanjing fell!

Hangzhou fell!

And to what state did the hysteria reach?

It reached a point where if you stepped out into the neighborhood, you'd hear "The Hottest Ethnic Trend" playing, to the point where if you went out, you'd see groups of aunties dancing their plaza dance routines!

The industry was shocked!

The people were stunned!

This was a change that had dumbfounded everyone!

This was way too crazy!

Th-This was simply insane!

Overnight, China had been overtaken by a plaza dance song called "The Hottest Ethnic Trend"!

Weibo was turned upside down!

"Heavens!"

"They've all gone mad! Mad, I tell you!"

"The aunties have all emerged!"

"At 7 AM and 7 PM, they're always so punctual!"

"My home has fallen!"

"The neighborhood I live in has fallen too!"

"Zhang Ye, your sister! Just what have you done!"

"Zhang Ye, you cheat!"

"That guy has opened up a door to a new world for the aunties!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"This is causing such a huge public disturbance! I'm on the verge of tears! Zhang Ye, come out!"

"Teacher Zhang, come out!"

"I really want to give him a good beating!"

"Is there a spell in this song?"

"There must be! And it's definitely a fucking spell that only works on the aunties!"

"Oh my God! The aunties have all gone mad!"

The media was fighting to get their first reports out!

The people had already started heated discussions!

In the end, even experts and government leaders stepped in. This had obviously already turned into a societal matter. No one could have expected that a song could actually bring about such a crazy situation. This was really something that was very difficult to imagine since it was only a song, a song that Zhang Ye had casually sung onstage!

Why was this happening?

How did it become like this?

The happiest people were those aunties who were retired and had nothing to do at home. All of them were very excited and were even praising Zhang Ye. Plaza dancing had always existed, and it was a very popular activity in many places as well. But there were only signs of this activity happening. It wasn't commonplace yet, nor did it happen on such a wide scale. With the release of "The Hottest Ethnic Trend," it was as though a bomb's switch had been flicked and it went off so explosively that the entire situation got out of control!

Plaza dancing had finally been unified and become popular all over the country!

In the past, the aunties would often get into arguments over what songs they wanted to dance to. There had been ongoing battles over the types of songs they preferred, with the list including folk songs, modern songs, and classic songs. They had never been united before!

Should they dance to this?

Or that?

Some of the groups in the neighborhoods would even get into fights over the topic!

But now?

There was no need to fight anymore!

"The Hottest Ethnic Trend" had arrived!

Deng, deng deng deng deng!

Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng!

Deng, deng deng deng deng, deng deng!
