Chapter 1215: A great opportunity!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The direction of the third milestone in the "Reach the Summit" plan was set.
Everyone's plan was just to wait? To ask around for information? To depend on luck?
But that was not what Zhang Ye was thinking. He had his own ideas and knew that he had to contend for an opportunity like this. Getting included in the Chinese language textbooks was a great opportunity. Only an idiot would not want this! Of course, Zhang Ye wasn't doing this for himself, he really wasn't. He was doing this for the great scholars from his previous world. If the essence of those scholars' wisdom from his previous world could not even make it into the Chinese language textbooks over here, then damn, what would that mean?
Wouldn't it be too goddamn insulting!
Wasn't it as good as getting pushed around!
Could he tolerate that? Of course he couldn't!
Even if he could tolerate it, would Old Li (Li Bai) tolerate that? Would Old Du (Du Fu) tolerate that?
And so, Zhang Ye hoped that he could seize a spot in the textbooks however small it was!
After the meeting, Zhang Ye went to call his Peking University colleague, Su Na. Teacher Su was from the university's Chinese Department and had maintained a good relationship with him. Her father was also someone in the literary field.
"Teacher Su."
"Yo, Teacher Zhang."
"What have you been up to recently?"
"Teaching, what else?"
"By the way, can I ask you something? The textbook curriculum revision will be implemented soon, have you heard about it?"
"Yes, I've heard. The literary field is stirring up because of it, so who wouldn't know? Why are you asking? Do you intend to contend for it too? That's right, Teacher Zhang, you're qualified to get selected!"
"Aiyah, please don't say that. How am I qualified? I'm still lacking by too much. I was just asking. Anyway, what are the requirements to get selected for the textbook curriculum revision?
"Didn't you say that you were still lacking by too much?"
"Yeah, but a person cannot have no goals. Otherwise, what difference would that be from being a salted fish?"
"Pfft, you can say whatever you like. In any case, I don't know much. I've heard some things from my parents, but I'm not exactly sure what the selection criteria is. That's something that the Education Department Textbook Revision work groups are handling. All I know is that they should probably be finishing the revision soon and should've prepared everything that needs to be prepared. I think it should be happening tomorrow morning. They'll be holding a meeting to discuss the specifics to tie up the changes. As for when they'll announce the changes and start the actual printing of the new textbooks, I'm not sure. For the mathematics and physics revisions, they might delay it until a later time because there's a bigger debate over them. They probably wouldn't be able to get it settled in the short term—that's what I heard from the Math Department. So yeah, that's about it."
"Tomorrow morning?"
"I think so."
"Don't just think so, are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
"Alright, I got it. Thanks, you sure are well-informed."
"That's because you don't even come by Peking University anymore. If you came here to teach every day, what news in the education field would you not know?"
The call ended.
Zhang Ye went to find Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo. "I've found out that the curriculum revision for the Chinese language textbooks will be tied up by tomorrow morning."
Zhang Zuo said in anticipation, "I hope for good news then!"
Zhang Ye suddenly remembered something and looked at Ha Qiqi. "By the way, Sister Ha. You told me earlier at Old Rao's house that something happened at Central TV? What was it about?"
Ha Qiqi hesitated for a while before saying, "It's insider news. I learned of it from a former coworker at Central TV. It hasn't been announced yet, but it's been confirmed."
Zhang Ye asked, "So what's the matter?"
Ha Qiqi said, "Central TV Department 1 will be filming a second season of The Voice!"
Little Wang's ears were sharp and caught what they were saying. "What? How'd they get the copyright! Back when they signed the contract, the copyrights were all given to Director Zhang!"
Ha Qiqi shook her head. "It was just a figure of speech. In fact, they're going to film a new show and have already started prepping for it. The name of the show will be Sing! China, but to put it plainly, they just changed the name from The Voice to Sing!. In reality, it's just the second season of The Voice. The Voice was incredibly popular with the audience last year, and since Central TV Department 1 does not have any good reality shows lined up for this year, they're resorting to using The Voice again to carry the banner. They'll probably be putting together a new program team and invite a new panel of guest coaches, although I heard that there won't be many changes to the stage. The show's format will also remain the same."
Little Wang exclaimed, "That's considered infringement too!"
