Chapter 383: Annoyed Mr. Chairman
"What's going on with this morning's press conference? You're ......, hey! "Tom. Jackson didn't wait for Chen Chufan to come closer, and then opened his mouth to complain.
"There has to always be a standard! Otherwise, how do you know if I've succeeded, right? "Chen Chufan has been questioned too many times today, so he naturally knows Tom. What does Jackson mean, he has long been immune to these words, so he responds with ease and without sluggishness.
"It's not hard for me to understand a standard, but you don't have to make such a double difficulty super high standard, right? Do you think it's too easy to play against the Grammys? Well, do you Z people like to challenge yourself with high difficulty? "Tom. Jackson complained with some chatter.
No way, he's in Merka. Firth made a military order in front of him. If Chen Chufan finally makes a fool of himself, everything he has now will come to naught. You must know that the consumption habits of people in country M are different from those in country Z, they rarely put money in the bank to save, on the contrary, they prefer to spend ahead of time, so for many people, a decent job is the top priority to ensure their quality of life. Jackson was especially so, so he had no way back at all.
What's more, when he finishes everything he can do in Chen's concert, he can only be a bystander in the end, and he doesn't know how far Chen Chufan can go. So at this time, he was inevitably anxious.
"Trust me, Mr. Jackson! If I dare to say this, dare to bet on my future, I am sure that I am sure! Do you see the man who pushes himself into the pit of fire? I'm not sick in the head! Chen Chufan said with relief. In the face of this global executive who is willing to believe in himself and help him, the teenager seems to be very patient.
"Well, I hope so! I'm just afraid that you will be carried away by the grades, and I will tell you that all my hopes are pinned on you. If you work hard, then I won't say anything more. Or maybe I should go and report to HQ now. You know, everybody around the world is very concerned about your concert right now. Although there is no good news yet! "Tom. Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
He couldn't keep complaining, it would only be a waste of time. Now that things have come to this, the words spoken are like water spilled, and they cannot be recovered. What's more, Chen Chufan's bucket of water has been splashed on a wide scale, and so far it has basically covered the entire earth.
So after all that was said and done, Tom. Jackson walked backstage with a lot of concern. Leaving three people looking at each other.
"Hey, well, Mr. Jackson has said it, you can do it yourself! I only have a not-so-good piece of news to inform you. The endorsement contract that was about to be negotiated was temporarily shelved because of your recent statement, and just yesterday General Motors of country M sent a message of suspending further negotiations! Mrs. Chen was the first to break the silence and spoke.
"It's not bad news, maybe they'll regret not finalizing the contract sooner after tonight!" Chen Chufan blinked his eyes and comforted his agent in a very alternative language.
Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, just glanced at Chen Chufan deeply with a strange gaze, and finally didn't say anything, just sighed and walked away silently. Leave space to two young people.
"Thank you. Xiuqing! When there were only two people left, Chen Chufan was not silent as just now, but spoke first.
"Do you want to thank me for helping you arrange the concert, or do you want to thank me for bringing Xiaoxi to country M?" Su Xiuqing asked with interest.
The boy was sound. If it was a year ago. He may really not know how to answer this question, but now it is different, after a year of cultivation by various excellent people around him, the young man's adaptability has improved greatly. At least in the face of this kind of problem, I learned to make a decisive choice.
"Because of my concert, of course!" That's what he said. The young man added in his heart, "Of course, thank you for bringing Xiaoxi to country M!" β
"Really?" Su Xiuqing looked at Chen Chufan playfully, and her inquiring gaze made Chen Chufan feel a palpitation.
"Of course! All right. Let's talk about something else, shall we? You're not worried about my concert at night? Chen Chufan replied sullenly.
Chen Chufan's words successfully diverted the woman's attention.
"What's the way to worry? You've got the word out, and by the way, concert ticket sales aren't doing well. According to the data just counted, so far more than 3,700 of the 30,000 tickets have been sold, and four hours have passed, otherwise we would still sell them at a reduced price, right? Speaking of the concert in the evening, Su Xiuqing also showed a worried look on her face.
"No, as long as you can sell more than 10,000 copies. And even if the audience wants to come to see my concert, they have to buy tickets in the afternoon, so maybe there will be a rush in the afternoon. Besides, isn't the Staples Center arena next door still able to accommodate nearly 20,000 people? Wait until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, all other ticket sales points will suspend ticket sales, gather all tickets at the door of the concert, and arrange a few more entrances at that time! When it comes to business, without the unspeakable embarrassment when the two of them are alone, Chen Chufan has also begun to become a lot more normal.
"It's a Grammy audience in the Staples Center arena, what does it have to do with your concert?" Su Xiuqing said angrily.
"Hehe, since it's against the Grammys, you have to pry some corners! Otherwise, how can you fight them? Chen Chufan smiled and said confidently.
Su Xiuqing looked at Chen Chufan with a strange gaze, she really didn't expect Chen Chufan to have such an idea in her heart? It seems that he is really too confident in himself.
"Okay, just do as you say, as long as you have a score in your heart! But to be honest, even I'm a little worried now, don't be too confident, and end up messing up! Su Xiuqing stroked her hair that was blown by the breeze and said leisurely.
Chen Chufan was silent for a moment, smiled freely, and said, "It's already like this, so I can only bite the bullet." I'm a little impulsive this time, so I'll definitely discuss it with you next time! By the way, the rehearsal starts in the afternoon, why don't we have a meal together at noon? Let me express my gratitude too? By the way, Sister Yuanyuan is also here, we can be together. β
"No, noon, I'm going to talk to the negotiators of FOX and CNN about the live broadcast of the concert, and after the concert, I'm ready to celebrate you!" Su Xiuqing shook her head and refused the young man's invitation.
Chen Chufan looked at the woman's gradual tiredness. Silence again. I traveled a long way to get here, but I didn't even have time to fall jet lag and rest, just for my own affairs, and the feeling of emotion and guilt was mixed together, becoming an inexplicable emotion, surging into my heart.
"Xiuqing, thank you for your hard work! Thank you! After a while, Chen Chufan showed a bitter face and said lightly.
The woman's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were clear, and she stared at Chen Chufan tightly and said, "I think your thanks are very insincere!" β
Chen Chufan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect a woman to answer like this. He laughed dryly, put on a smile that he thought was the most sincere, and was about to thank him seriously again in an attempt to fool him through, when the noise not far from the stage rescued him in advance.
Chen Chufan looked sideways, his smile gradually faded, and the leader of the people who came turned out to be the chairman of the organizing committee of this year's Grammy Awards Ceremony, who had a relationship with him. John. At this time, he was negotiating with Lao Pao and Qiangzi, and it was obvious that the conversation between the two sides was not pleasant, and the sound of the argument even disturbed the two who were talking.
"That's?" Su Xiuqing also saw the person who came and asked.
"The old man in front of me who looks like a dog. It's Morfair, who is ready for me to sit under the Grammys for the night. Chairman John, I don't know anyone else, I don't look like a chengguan! It shouldn't be here to forcibly demolish illegal buildings! Chen Chufan shrugged his shoulders and sneered.
"Chengguan? Demolition? "A woman who has apparently been living in the United States. It was difficult to understand these two very Z words, and he asked very puzzledly.
"Huh?" Chen Chufan also realized his cold humor, which was difficult to be understood by a person who had never lived in country Z, and couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment. opened his mouth and said: "I'll explain to you in the future, this is something with the characteristics of country Z!" When I go over and see, this gentleman is here at this time. Quite intriguing, huh? β
"I'll go with you!" Su Xiuqing said.
Chen Chufan shrugged indifferently, and walked towards the stage first.
"Chen, your subordinates are too rude! Is this how you treat your friends with courtesy visits? "Chen Chufan hasn't come to the front yet, he has already seen his Mofeier. John shouted at him.
"Politeness? Oh, I'm sorry, first of all they're not my men, they're my two big brothers! In addition, we have a famous saying in China: when a friend comes, there is wine, and when a jackal comes, there is a shotgun! I don't think you're a jackal, but with all due respect, I've never considered you a friend! Chen Chufan casually walked to Mofeier. John's face only then did he open his mouth to respond.
Unceremonious rhetoric that made Mofel. John's face instantly darkened.
"I am a young man who came with good intentions! Is this how you treat a friendly elder? "Moffel. John said displeasedly.
"Goodwill?" A playful smile appeared on Chen Chufan's face, and he teased: "Okay, then I'll listen to you!" Mr. President! β
"Hmmm! I renegotiated with Director Williams, we can compress the performance time of the other singers in the evening a little, and give you about 4 minutes to perform on stage, so give up your meaningless concert! I watched your press conference this morning, you are so naΓ―ve, Chen! You've set yourself a goal that's completely impossible! "Moffel. John said with a solemn face.
"Huh?" Chen Chufan was killed by Moffel. John's words are broken, and the head of this thing is not clear? He has already prepared for this concert with great fanfare, and he has invited himself to the show again? Chen Chufan doesn't think that this Mofeier. Chairman John was really afraid that he would rob the Grammy Awards of conflict, you must know that even the people around him don't have much confidence in him, let alone this old man who doesn't know him at all.
"Can I ask why?" Chen Chufan asked curiously.
"I don't want a promising newcomer to ruin his arrogance and the Grammys themselves! You know, the purpose of the Grammy Awards is to select the best music, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting the music industry, not to let a promising musician say goodbye to his music career early! "Moffel. John spoke in high-sounding Mandarin solemnly, which made Chen Chufan shudder.
Moffel. The reason John said Chen Chufan didn't even believe a word, saying that the purpose of the Grammy Awards was only set today? Why did you go earlier? Yesterday in Williams' office, could it be that the purpose of the Grammy Awards is to change the confirmed performers at will?
"Seriously! Moffel. Mr. Chairman John, do you fool people to show some standards? Do you think you're cheating on kindergarten kids? Chen Chufan said sullenly, he seriously doubted this Mo Feier. Mr. John had come to test his intelligence.
"You!" Moffel. John was stabbed by Chen Chufan's words and was about to vomit blood, he felt that this reason was already very good, but he had been thinking about it for several hours. just arranged such a sentence that moved him very much, but when used on this young man, why didn't it work? Why can't this Z native follow the script he designed? When he thought about it, Chen Chufan should be grateful at this time, he was sending steps to him who was difficult to ride a tiger!
Actually, Muffel. Chairman John also came to Chen Chufan for his own reasons. You must know that this is the first time he has held a Grammy ceremony as the chairman of the organizing committee of the Grammy Awards. Although he doesn't think that Chen Chufan's concert can really have more popularity and higher ratings than the Grammy Awards as this Z Chinese said. But if this concert does take place, it will be a kind of irony of the Grammys in itself.
Well, the red carpet at Staples Center is full of stars vying for the best music of the year. And it's only a hundred meters away from the Staples Center Arena. But there was a singer who was holding his concert. This in itself is a kind of irony of the Grammys, okay?
What's more, the singer was also nominated for three Grammy Awards. Although the fairness of the Grammys is somewhat flawed due to its own voting rules, for example, most of the voters of the Grammys have an interest in the record company, so the most important awards are generally given to well-known veteran artists or the artists with the most publicity. But when the voting is over, the artist's name is engraved on the gramophone trophy, but it cannot be changed, not by anyone, including him, the chairman of the organizing committee of the Grammy Awards.
This is also what makes Mofel. Chairman John's most painful place. Well, in case the lad in front of him really won a certain award. When the host announces his name, isn't it time to say to the audience, "Hey, everybody, wait?" The singer was holding a concert in the square not far away, and we immediately sent a staff member to inform him to come in and give his acceptance speech! β
Thinking of this Morfel. John felt that this was indeed a disaster for him, which was the fundamental reason why he chose to compromise. As for what Chen Chufan said at the press conference, he wanted to surpass the declaration of the Grammy Awards ceremony. Moffel. John naturally scoffed, and in his opinion, it was a sign of immaturity of young man.
But now. In his opinion, the proposal that was good for both parties was mercilessly sarcastic by Chen Chufan, which made him a little unacceptable. So when he continued to speak, his tone became less polite.
"Young man, I'm a win-win proposition! You're talking too much! Is that an impossible goal, or do you want to leave the music scene in an unseemly way? I suggest you give it a good thought about my proposal! This is your last chance! Z people! "Moffel. John said indifferently.
"Thank you for your kindness, we got it! But go back, there's nothing for you here! Without waiting for Chen Chufan to say anything, Su Xiuqing, who had been standing beside Chen Chufan, couldn't help but speak.
Su Xiuqing was very disgusted with the old man in front of her. This disgust arose after Chen Chufan told her in detail about his experience in Los Angeles. When she first came into contact, the gentleman's seemingly charitable appearance kept her from saying anything. Can be when this Mofel. After John became angry, he put on an old-fashioned look at Chen Chufan, but the woman who had always been domineering in the face of outsiders couldn't stand it, and said the above words coldly.
"Are you again?" Moffel. Chairman John's face had turned completely cold. He really didn't expect him to be treated like this. You must know that he is an academician of the Conservatory of Music of the National Academy of Sciences of M, and a respected figure in the music industry. Being treated unceremoniously by two young people today naturally made him extremely unhappy.
"My name is Su Xiuqing, Chen Chufan's personal assistant!" Su Xiuqing introduced herself indifferently.
"I would also like to add that usually she makes a decision and it doesn't matter to me. So, please come back! I would also like to add that I don't think it's a win-win situation to follow your offer. On the contrary, after tonight, there is only one result, that is, I win, you lose! Do you remember? What I said to you yesterday afternoon, I regretted with my music, do you regret it now? Chen Chufan paused word by word and said very seriously.
"You guys! All right! Arrogant young man! You've lost your last chance to redeem it all! After tonight, you'll be the joke of the global music industry! Hopefully, after tonight, you won't regret your choice now! Trust me, I won't pity you! Because it's all up to you! β
Moffel. John was really angry, and after saying this to Chen Chufan, he turned around directly, raised his hands like a speech, and said to the people behind him: "Gentlemen, you have all seen that I gave this young man a chance. But he doesn't cherish it himself! β
Then he turned his head again and whispered to Chen Chufan with a hideous face: "Get ready to accept the ridicule of fans all over the world!" Youngster! (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
