I’m Really a Superstar Chapter 1590 – The International Celebrity Rankings Index!

A few days later.

Beijing.

At Zhang Ye’s Studio.

It was 6 in the morning when Zhang Ye arrived at the studio by himself. The entire office was still empty at this time, so he had to unlock the door with his own key. In his roughly 10 days of vacation, he had met up with the friends he wanted to meet and rested enough as well. From his state of mind to his physical well-being, Zhang Ye was currently in his best form. Hence, he ended his 10-day break slightly earlier than planned. This fellow had never been someone who could sit idle. He would be itching to go if he didn’t work for a day.

Reach the summit?

Become number one?

To others, this might have been the final goal.

But for Zhang Ye, his goal wasn’t just that. He still had a very long journey ahead of him.

There wasn’t anyone at the office yet?

How about a lottery draw then?

Since he had nothing to do, Zhang Ye brought up the game ring’s interface to have look at his total Reputation Points first. During the three to four years of his sentence, the Reputation Points in his game ring had mostly stagnated. Each time he used it, the points would only get lessen. As such, Zhang Ye did not really dare to use it much during that period as he couldn’t bear to spend the points. But now, in just a short amount of time, his total Reputation Points had soared once again. The amount of Reputation Points that he got from reaching the top had exceeded his expectations.

So he opened up Lottery Draw (Three).

The virtual stone platform suddenly appeared in the air.

It cost 100 million Reputation Points per draw—buy!

The platform lit up, and at the same time, Zhang Ye activated the Lucky Halo (Ultra) in extravagance.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

His Reputation Points went down very quickly. It decreased so fast that Zhang Ye was feeling the pinch.

At this moment, the platform flashed as a large golden treasure chest suddenly appeared in the center. Zhang Ye deactivated the Lucky Halo and quickly opened up the Treasure Chest (Large).

[World Languages Skill Experience Book] × 427

Item Description: A skill experience book to learn the main languages of the world.

When Zhang Ye saw this, he let out a hearty laugh. “Beautiful!”

World languages!

Russian?

English?

French?

Korean?

And there were even 427 of such skill experience books?

This was enough for Zhang Ye to gain an instant mastery of quite a few world languages!

This was what he needed the most right now!

Without even thinking, Zhang Ye studied all of them.

Soon after, it was time for work.

Ha Qiqi and Little Wang were the first to arrive.

Little Wang said, “Eh, the door’s unlocked? Who’s here so early in the morning?”

Ha Qiqi pushed open the door and had a look. “Aiyo, Director Zhang?”

Little Wang said in surprise, “You’re back from your break already?”

Zhang Ye was in a rather good mood. He smiled and said, “Yes, I decide to come back early.”

Zhang Zuo also arrived shortly after them. “Weren’t you supposed to take a two-week break?”

“I couldn’t keep staying at home.” Zhang Ye greeted them and said, “Everyone, do whatever you need to do and eat breakfast quickly. We will start the meeting at 8 AM sharp.”

“Sure.”

“Got it.”

Everyone knew that this meeting was very important as it would set the direction of Zhang Ye’s future plans. Having reached the summit of the Chinese entertainment circle and secured the number one position, how they proceeded from here and what work they would take would all depend on Zhang Ye’s intentions. Furthermore, they had a feeling that Zhang Ye was probably going to make another big move.

8 AM.

In the conference room.

All of the studio’s staff except for one person who was on medical leave were in attendance.

Zhang Zuo said, “Everyone who is around is here.”

Zhang Ye nodded. “Alright, we’ll start the meeting then.”

Ha Qiqi smiled and said, “Are you setting the direction going forward?”

“Yes.” Zhang Ye then said something astonishing. “Everyone has worked hard during this period. We fought the battle for the top position really well. I’ve thought about the path that we will be taking from here. I would like to take on the international entertainment industry head-on and try my luck there, to have a look at what it is all about. At the very least, I would like to earn a spot on the international celebrity rankings.”

Little Wang was stunned. “Take on the international entertainment industry?”

Tong Fu wiped sweat away and said, “But we haven’t even stabilized our domestic position, have we?”

“Why would we need to stabilize our domestic position?” Zhang Ye questioned.

Tong Fu said, “Shouldn’t we wait a little while?”

Zhang Ye shook his head. “I’m not waiting.”

Everyone knew that Zhang Ye’s goal had always been the international entertainment circle, and Zhang Ye had never hidden his ambition from them either. Everyone was prepared for this, yet when they reached this step, just as they had to make a decision on how to move forward towards that goal, everyone still couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.

Would it work out?

Would they really be able to do it?

In China, once you entered the top three positions of the domestic entertainment circle, it was as good as gaining the qualifications to take on the international arena. Zhang Yuanqi had also made an attempt and had succeeded in doing so as well, but it didn’t last for long. She only managed to get into the last place of the international C-list rankings for a short while before dropping back down after failing to secure her position. Afterwards, she never managed to get back onto the rankings. Xu Meilan had also attempted it as well. However, she couldn’t even get a position on the international celebrity rankings. Many generations of Chinese celebrities had gone down this path, and without exception, none of them succeeded. It was as if this were some sort of curse that no one could secure a footing in the international stage of the entertainment circle.

So as time passed, a lot of celebrities no longer chased after the international dream. For example, both Guan Zhaohua and Ai Fei, who were previously the top two people of the Chinese entertainment circle, did not even think about taking on the global stage. After getting to their positions, all they concentrated on was making money in the Chinese market and around Asia. Therefore, even though the era of the male idols seemed glamorous and was said to have pushed the standard of the Chinese entertainment industry to a higher level, it in fact caused the Chinese entertainment industry’s influence on the global stage to weaken. The gilded front was just an illusion.

Zhang Ye said, “It’s time someone did something. If the others won’t do it, I will. We cannot just sit comfortably in our position and not push forward.”

Ha Qiqi said, “This is a path that no one has successfully taken before.”

“I know,” Zhang Ye said with a smile, “but there still has to be someone giving it shot.”

Zhang Zuo said in worry, “In our domestic conquest, there was at least a reference, and we could see how the others before us did it. But every step starting here, there are no precedents and experiences that we can fall back on. We have to depend on ourselves to surge forward no matter what lies ahead of us.”

Zhang Ye nodded. “Yes.”

Little Wang said yearningly, “To become an international celebrity—”

Zhang Ye laughed and said, “Is everyone still willing to continue walking with me?”

Ha Qiqi laughed. “As if you need you ask!”

Zhang Zuo also laughed. “Wherever you’re headed, we’re headed there too!”

Tong Fu clenched his teeth. “We’re at your command!”

Wu Yi said, “It’s just the international celebrity rankings, isn’t it? Let’s give it a try then!”

Little Wang said, “Right, when have we ever feared anyone? Even if no one else succeeded in the past, it doesn’t mean that we can’t achieve it!”

For a moment, everyone expressed their stance.

The International Popularity Rankings Index.

Also known as the International Celebrity Rankings Index!

This was a hall of fame with the highest honors in the world.

The rankings index was divided into four tiers.

The S-list.

The A-list.

The B-list.

And the C-List.

The international C-list celebrity rankings was the lowest entry barrier for an international star.

Zhang Ye’s target was to get onto the international celebrity rankings to claim a spot for Chinese celebrities!
