Episode 258: No media is disciplined
(The recent chapters are a bit watery, and this is the most difficult period since I wrote the book, probably the so-called bottleneck period, and the water chapters are looking for the state.) )
Walking out of the 101 building, Li Chengman and Liu Xianyu are still admiring the huge damper, but it is indeed worthy of praise. Taiwan is an earthquake-prone zone, dozens or hundreds of earthquakes below magnitude 4 in the nearby sea area every day, earthquakes above magnitude 4 every day, earthquakes of magnitude 6 or more occur every week, plus more than a dozen large and small typhoons in summer and autumn, if there is no damper, the 101 building would have collapsed long ago.
Zheng Xiyi led them across the road to Xinyi Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store, this area is the most fashionable commercial district in Taiwan, countless beautiful men and women come and go on the road, but Li Chengman nodded again and again, turned his face and asked Zheng Xiyi: "Taiwanese people are quite good-looking, you can suggest that the company come to Taiwan to hold a few trainee selection competitions." ”
Zheng Xiyi shook his head and said: "The main purpose of S.M recruiting foreign trainees is to break into the other party's market, the Taiwan market is too small, even if there are Taiwanese in the group, it is of little significance, and Taiwan's own entertainment industry is very developed, if you really want to make your debut as an artist, Taiwan's opportunity is greater than that of South Korea, there is no need to go to South Korea to suffer that hardship, and you can earn less." ”
Li Chengman looked at the flow of fashionably dressed people on the street, and then thought about the trainees who couldn't make money for two or three years even if they debuted, and they were so tired that they were half dead, and with Taiwan's economic situation, it is not too difficult for people with debut strength to make money, and they really don't need to go to South Korea to suffer, so they can only nod silently.
Liu Xianyu suddenly said in confusion: "Xiyi is very familiar with Taiwan, just like a tour guide in the 101 building, he is also familiar with the surrounding environment, and he has even studied Taiwan's economic situation and local entertainment industry, has he really never been to Taiwan? Or did he want to come to Taiwan to develop so he studied it before?"
Zheng Xiyi sweated violently, fortunately, Liu Xianyu inadvertently provided an answer, otherwise I really don't know how to fool the past, "Inside, before going to South Korea, I chose between Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, and finally decided to go to South Korea to see, but I have studied Japan and Taiwan for a while, and this area is the most prosperous area in Taipei, so I have studied it for a long time, although I haven't been here, I am so familiar that I can find a place with my eyes closed." ”
Li Chengman and Liu Xianyu both nodded in a sudden realization, Zheng Xiyi secretly wiped his sweat, it was really too dangerous for his sister.
Zheng Xiyi is too familiar with this area, and when he had nothing to do on the weekend in his previous life, he first went to Xinyi Weixiu to watch a movie, then had a meal in the food street, and finally went to Xinguang Mitsukoshi, so just now Zheng Xiyi unconsciously seemed to return to the weekend in his previous life, easily and skillfully took Li Chengman and Liu Xianyu through one intersection after another, turned one corner after another and went straight to Xinguang Mitsukoshi.
After shopping for more than an hour, I originally wanted to change Liu Xianyu's clothes, but when I saw the price, Liu Xianyu was scared half to death, Zheng Xiyi was embarrassed to apologize to him, he forgot that the price here is not much cheaper than the shopping center of the 101 building, and he is afraid that Liu Xianyu's income will buy a set of casual clothes for a few months. Zheng Xiyi and Li Chengman didn't mention helping him pay or borrow money, Koreans generally have strong self-esteem, and Korean men have even stronger self-esteem, although the two sides are also close, but doing so will only make both parties feel embarrassed, how can they get along with each other every day in the future.
A little disappointed, they walked out of Shinko Mitsukoshi, and the three of them decided to go back to the hotel to rest.
Feeling that everyone's interest was destroyed a little because of himself, Liu Xianyu changed his usual habit of being taciturn, and worked hard to stir up the topic to liven up the atmosphere, but he was originally a person who was not good at communicating, so he had to turn out the photos in the camera to show Zheng Xiyi and Li Chengman, and from time to time introduced why he shot like this, what kind of aperture and shutter were the most reasonable, and made Zheng Xiyi and Li Chengman cry and laugh.
It's not that the two of them hate his behavior, it's just that Liu Xianyu didn't say a word and switched to the technical training mode, with one set of professional terms after another, which is to enliven the atmosphere, it's like taking a professional photography class. Zheng Xiyi is quite proficient in these because he is an actor, and listening to it is only a review, while Li Chengman is a complete layman, and he has a headache when he listens to it, but he doesn't want Liu Xianyu's kindness to become embarrassed, so he has to echo with a wry smile. In the more than ten minutes since Shin Kong Mitsukoshi walked back to the hotel, Li Cheng was sweating, and he could only look at Zheng Xiyi and smile bitterly, shaking his head and sighing.
The three of them walked to the hotel gate with a smile, and before they reached the gate, they were blinded by countless flashing lights, Li Chengman was speechless and stroked his forehead, and he actually forgot that Liu Xianyu's photography class said that there was even an ambush reporter at the door of the hotel. Zheng Xiyi saw that this was already the case, so he calmly waved in the direction of the reporter, and suddenly the flashing lights were connected again.
Seeing that Zheng Xiyi did not hide his face and leave quickly like other stars, the reporters also became bolder, they all knew that Zheng Xiyi could speak Chinese and was very good, so a reporter came up and asked: "Mr. Zheng Xiyi, why didn't you rest?"
Zheng Xiyi said with a smile as he walked: "I was a little excited to come to Taiwan for the first time, so I walked around the neighborhood and visited the world's first skyscraper, Taipei 101, and also looked at the world's largest skyscraper and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi. ”
Originally, some reporters were worried that Zheng Xiyi would not answer, but seeing Zheng Xiyi's gentle expression and answering questions, they all followed, "Mr. Zheng Xiyi, what is your impression of the night in Taipei after shopping?"
"It's very prosperous and beautiful, no worse than Myeongdong, and there are a lot of handsome guys and beauties on the street, my agent looked straight at it, and said that he would suggest that the company should hold a trainee selection conference in Taiwan. ”
Although Taiwan's entertainment reporters and paparazzi will definitely not be more disciplined than other places, this is the first time he has come to Taiwan to publicize, so he naturally has to leave a good impression on others first, so he opens his mouth and praises the sky.
A voice asked abruptly: "Mr. Zheng Xiyi, there are many famous nightclubs in Taipei, don't you go to sit down?"
Zheng Xiyi stopped, turned his face to look at the reporter who asked the question, and said, "Is this friend a reporter from Next Magazine or Apple Daily?"
The reporter smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm a reporter from Next Magazine." ”
Zheng Xiyi smiled and didn't say anything, and no longer paid attention to the reporters' questions, gave Li Chengman a look, and walked to the hotel gate quickly, Li Chengman and Liu Xianyu stopped and opened their hands to stop the reporters, Li Chengman said in English: "I'm sorry, Xiyi is tired and has to go up to rest." There will be a press conference on GTV tomorrow, so I think you have already received the invitation, so if you have any questions, please ask me tomorrow, thank you. ”
All the reporters had no choice but to stop, because the security guard of the hotel had already greeted them, and they had to turn their heads and frown at the reporters of One Magazine.
"What are you looking at me for? It's not like I asked Zheng Xiyi not to answer the question. The reporter of Next Magazine muttered quietly, but the public was furious, so he could only leave the crowd with his head down and find a remote corner to continue squatting.
At half past ten the next morning, there were already many people sitting in the multi-purpose hall of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Although the start time of the press conference was 11 o'clock, because GTV's Korean drama "Full House" at the end of February did not reduce the originally popular ratings after "Paris Lovers", but continued the ratings frenzy, so the major entertainment media paid great attention to the press conference.
However, the most important reason for attracting these media is not the ratings frenzy, but the first time that Zheng Xiyi, the actor of "Full House", came to Taiwan to promote. For this Oscar child star with one-half Chinese ancestry, last year's Venice actor, the Taiwanese people's attention to Zheng Xiyi can far exceed that of ordinary Korean stars, Taiwanese people have the same strong self-esteem and inferiority complex as Koreans, Zheng Xiyi, a world-famous Chinese-American star, is eager for them to verify that his mother's family has Taiwanese ancestry, and then call it the light of Taiwan, of course, everyone selectively forgets that half of Korean blood.
At eleven o'clock, with the roll call of the host, Zheng Xiyi and Song Huiqiao, accompanied by Fang Yiting and other officials of the GTV Film and Television Production Bureau, walked into the venue, first stood in front of the set board of "Full House of Romance" and were filmed by the reporters wildly, and then sat in the center of the seat.
At the beginning, the reporter's questioning process was very peaceful, and the people who were called were all well-known comprehensive media, and the questions were also decent, closely revolving around the topic of TV series and the hero and heroine, and Zheng Xiyi and Song Huiqiao were asked equally many times. When these arranged media have completed a round of questions, and the gossip media finally began to become the main questioning force, all kinds of strange questions emerged one after another, and the number of times Zheng Xiyi was asked has also greatly increased, and eight out of ten questions are asked to Zheng Xiyi, and the theme is naturally inseparable from the scandal between Zheng Xiyi and Song Comet Qiao, and the scandal with Lee Hyori, and recently Zheng Xiyi's struggle with South Korea's ANTI has also been raised by reporters.
"Mr. Zheng Xiyi, hello, I am Yuan Chengxing, a reporter from Apple Daily. Recently, a large number of ANTI in South Korea have opposed Mr. Jung Hee-yi on the Internet, and I heard that the day before you came to Taiwan, accompanied by the cultural counselor of the US Embassy in South Korea, reported to the Seoul High Public Prosecutor's Office, and quickly arrested three teenagers suspected of organizing ANTI online activities, and Mr. Jung Hee-yi has filed a civil lawsuit and a huge compensation claim against these three teenagers, is this true?"
Fang Yiting knocked on the microphone without waiting for the reporter to sit down and said: "The theme of our press conference today is TV dramas, please ask Mr. Reporter from Apple Daily to ask questions within the scope of the topic, Mr. Zheng Xiyi will not answer your question just now." Next. ”
Yuan Chengxing just bent down and wanted to sit down, but when he heard such an answer, he stood up again and said: "Mr. Zheng Xiyi is famous in South Korea for daring to speak and do, and he even dares to make public things like he doesn't like fans and don't want to be a star.
Fang Yiting frowned, this reporter's words were obviously a change of concept, if he was really allowed to go back and report like this, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among Taiwanese fans.
Zheng Xiyi turned his head to look at Fang Yiting, smiled and nodded, indicating that he could answer, Fang Yiting had no choice but to reach out and make a gesture of please, Zheng Xiyi turned his head to look at the Apple Daily reporter and said, "First of all, I want to correct a mistake of this Yuan reporter." Even if I don't answer this question, it's not about the differential treatment of fans in the two countries, but the differential treatment of fans in South Korea and Taiwan, Taiwan is not a country. ”
The audience was in an uproar......
