Chapter 144: Reporter's Questions (2nd Update)
Uncle Shi looked at Tianqing, his tone was quite serious, but with the face that was always smiling, it was more like a joke.
"Xiaoqing, because of the fact that you are a star, all your cards have been frozen at home, hmm, how do you feel now?"
Tianqing raised her face, her sleepy face was a little heavy, and her eyes were filled with indescribable helplessness.
"I don't know what to do." He didn't understand what Uncle Stone meant.
"If you follow your identity as the eldest young master of the Xiang family, you can now step forward and slap the check for one million on the table and plug the reporter's mouth with double the money."
"But ......"
"But as an artist, you can still take out so much money if you are taken by heavy taxes and the company?"
"I ...... I guess so. Tianqing lowered his head silently, the last album claimed to have detonated a sales frenzy, and it stands to reason that he won't be able to get a million.
Uncle Shi smiled slightly, also as a businessman, he knew very well where Tianqing's weakness was.
"No, although you make a lot, you still can't get a million."
Uncle Shi seems to be smiling, today he is wearing a military uniform of country D, which is known as the most suitable clothing for men to play handsome, Uncle Shi is heroic and extraordinary, and he is definitely at the level of a handsome uncle, so he also speaks with majesty.
"If it is for the eldest young master of the Xiang family, one million is of course a small number, but for Tianqing, one million may not be."
Tianqing looked at Uncle Shi, and his eyes were a little dim.
"This time, in order to break away from the Huaqi brothers, we have prepared a studio by ourselves, and your new album from song selection to recording and even promotion, all of which are the money earned from the previous album, and the costumes in your MV will need hundreds of thousands, not to mention those scenes, to be honest, if I hadn't supported me everywhere in the back, your money would have been insufficient."
The most difficult thing about the album is publicity, radio songs, interspersed publicity on major websites and TV programs, if it is prime time, each one requires sky-high advertising costs, if it weren't for Uncle Shi having a lot of contacts, plus the name of Tianqing's last album, I'm afraid that the publicity fee can make Tianqing penniless and completely become a negative asset.
You must know that in the past, most singers released albums with the support of the company, but now Tianqing has just set up his own studio and wants to release an album, every money is pulled out little by little, and he must spend every penny carefully like the most virtuous housewife, Rao is so can only barely enough, if Tianqing now takes out the checkbook and signs a million, he really can't do it.
Looking at Tianqing's lowered head, Uncle Shi sighed, "When you left Xiang's family and wanted to become a singer, now this wish has come true, your father is not in good health now, and he always thinks about you ......in his heart."
Tianqing pursed her lips slightly, thinking of the appearance of her father driving him out of the house with rattan that day, the man who was fierce and always wrinkled his eyebrows, would he also be sick and weak?
"Xiaoqing, I should have helped with everything, and you need to walk the road by yourself after all." Uncle Shi sighed, the gray spots on the sideburns of this cross-dresser uncle were slightly conspicuous, "You have to think about it carefully, the identity of a simple singer is not a way for you to gain strength and protect the people you want to protect, only Xiang Jia can become a powerful shield." ”
Tianqing's fingers clenched until the joints turned white, and after a while, he looked at the side of the bed, and the reporter who got the check was helpless and happy, and carefully put the check into his pocket, Hua Yi's eyes showed a little mockery, and his face was always condescending.
That's what it is...... Is there a lot of power in money?
Tianqing, who had always had no worries about food and clothing, was silent, and only spoke after a while.
"It takes me a month to transfer the studio to Chen's Films."
"Good!"
"The price of this album has been raised by 10 percent, and I want to see how much money I can make on my own."
"Yes." The gossip that might appear in the outside world didn't seem to have any effect on Uncle Shi, and the man agreed without hesitation.
"I want to have a farewell concert."
"No problem." Uncle Shi was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Qiu Bing to really agree, this is definitely the best medicine for the old man of the Xiang family.
"Let her be a special guest."
"This ......" Uncle Shi was a little afraid to agree, after all, Fenghua's identity is already different from before, it is said that he is about to develop in Hollywood, as long as this news can be determined, Fenghua's worth will inevitably become an international superstar equal to Ji Ran and Lu Yu in the future, although Tianqing is somewhat famous during this time, but because of the other party's sullen personality, he is not the most mainstream star, and the album only has sales in Asia.
Although this sentence is a bit contradictory, Tianqing and Uncle Shi both understand that it is true, the entertainment industry is trying to welcome the high and the low, Fenghua was still an unknown newcomer a year ago, and now he has become one of the hottest big stars in China, and he may not remember the original feelings, since the establishment of the studio, many MV heroines that Tianqing wants to find have shirked one after another, for fear that Tianqing will become the second Jin Qing and be banned by the Huaqi brothers.
"She's not like anyone else." Tianqing looked at Uncle Shi with a firm look in her eyes, "She will come." ”
He was convinced that some people's qualities do not deteriorate with the passage of time.
"Okay, I'll try." Shi hesitated, it was not that he didn't believe in Fenghua's quality, but he had seen too many people in the circle, but ...... As her daughter, Fenghua may surprise herself.
"She'll come."
Tianqing looked at Uncle Shi, with a child's persistence and even ...... in his eyes Naive, Uncle Shi sighed helplessly, in fact, no matter from that point of view, Xiaoqing is not suitable for this entertainment industry, you must know that whether Lu Dao is a good actor or a singer, it is not something that can be done just by singing well or acting well, if he hadn't helped Xiaoqing block those dirty things with open guns and arrows, the current Tianqing may not be able to survive in this circle for a long time.
Uncle Shi really can't imagine how Fenghua broke into the entertainment industry without the help of the Chen family, you must know that before Fenghua's true identity was exposed, this girl has always been alone, from the charm star to pure love, she can always become the most dazzling one, not to mention the first bird, even if she is so dazzling, she has never been defeated by so many ups and downs, and the girl's psychological quality can be seen.
The premiere over there is about to start, Fenghua is dressed up and ready to attend, but there are few friends in the audience, although Fenghua saw some familiar figures, such as Qin Yue, Zhang Jiran, Su Rui, etc., but most of the people who should have come did not come, after all, Jin Qing was popular with many movie stars at the beginning.
"Heh, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, and now they just want to see how far I can go."
Jin Qing smiled a little self-deprecatingly, in fact, the current situation is much better than he expected, because of the participation of Chen's Film and Television, this matter has escalated into a fight between Huaqi Brothers and Chen's Film and Television, and he who should have been completely banned has become a bargaining chip in their hands.
Jin Qing doesn't hate this feeling, after all, if it weren't for Fenghua and Chen's Film and Television behind her, she wouldn't even have the capital to become a bargaining chip, and I'm afraid she would have been poor and would not be able to realize her original ambitions.
For those who had received their favor but were now hiding in the corner and watching, Jin Qing had long been relieved, after all, he had been in this circle for some days, if he couldn't even see this, it would be a bit too glassy.
This circle is not suitable for the survival of glass hearts.
"Director, we will pay attention to the reporter's problems later." Liu Quan spoke softly, and Jin Qing nodded.
Some time ago, because of the Liu Quan job-hopping incident, if it weren't for the help of Fenghua's Dark Night, I'm afraid Liu Quan would have been completely defeated by those dirty entertainment offensives, instead of turning defeat into victory like now, and his popularity has soared.
Huaqi Brothers' company is now unable to polish the sharpness of Chen's film and television, so they will join forces with Yanlan Entertainment, it is said that there is even the participation of Golden Years behind it, so the ban on "Chicken Si Chen" has reached a higher level, and even before this, there have been faint people manipulating public opinion, attacking this movie is just a work of Fenghua's ticket, even if they invite Lu Yu to help, it is just to save the existence of failure.
After all, although Jin Qing, Fenghua and others are very famous, they have an Achilles' heel, that is, age, Jin Qing is a famous young director, not to mention Fenghua, who has long been crowned as the youngest newcomer king after Lu Yu, and it is even younger and incredible.
The Empress Lu in the script needs to be played from more than ten years old to middle age, and few people can believe that Fenghua's acting skills are enough to successfully play such a powerful middle-aged woman image.
There are also many sailors who have seized on the identity of Empress Lu to make a fuss, saying that Jin Qing's behavior is to distort historical figures and recklessly bring wrong values to society, how can such a vicious woman be the protagonist, it is simply a bad child.
Jin Qing understands all this, so he also understands that today's premiere will be a Hongmen banquet to put it bluntly, the other party must have arranged nails among many reporters, all they have to do is to pull out these nails little by little, Jin Qing believes in his own movie as a director, and this "Chicken Si Chen" will definitely become a vice to pull out these nails.
"Don't worry, don't look at you as an old-timer, but I'm not stupid." Jin Qing squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Quan, deliberately mentioning the other party's age, Liu Quan naturally didn't get angry, only laughed.
"That's not necessarily, director you still have a too young, too simple Tucson break."
too—young,too—simple。
Fenghua looked at the two people who were talking happily from a distance, and sighed in his heart, I was afraid that Jin Qing also thought that Liu Quan would be a hard nail, but he didn't expect that this man was indeed cannon fodder sent by the Huaqi brothers, but fortunately, the two sides reached a settlement in time, but instead slapped the Huaqi brothers hard by using the matter of job hopping.
"Ready to start, Director Jin, get ready." Lu Qi walked out of the backstage with a serious expression, although she knew Jin Qing's current predicament, and everyone advised her to stay as far away from this turmoil as possible, but Lu Qi always couldn't let go, as long as she thought of the similarity between Chen Fenghua and the original friend, she couldn't help but come here, even if she could only contribute a meager force, she also hoped to help Chen Fenghua.
Today's level is not easy, Jin Qing nodded, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have had to call Hua Feng with the attitude of giving it a try, he really didn't have confidence in his heart.
It is also strange to say that it is absolutely unscientific why I have such a strong sense of dependence and security on such a girl who is younger than myself.
"Sister Luffy, I'll ask you today." Fenghua nodded to Lu Qi, his friend who was the same age in the past has now become a "sister", Fenghua is a little dark in his heart, this is the convenience of returning to youth.
Lu Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence, after all, she was already a woman in her thirties, more than ten years older than Fenghua, and it was already very good that a girl didn't call her aunt.
"Okay, I'll take care of the field." Lu Qi clenched the tabletop in his hand, in fact, her behavior was invisibly equivalent to offending the Huaqi brothers, but she did not regret it in her heart, people do something and do nothing, if you can't maintain your iron backbone in this circle, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the friend who has fallen from the building, she has used her life to tell herself what it means to stick to the bottom line.
The premiere begins, as usual, the introduction and question session, Jin Qing is in the center, Fenghua and Liu Quan stand on both sides as the two leading actors, the reporters below are excited and regretful, excited that Fenghua has arrived today, this girl has always been the existence of the queen of topics, and every work has become a legend of the rivers and lakes, and has become a bloody storm that has swept the major rankings.
It's a pity that Lu Yu didn't show up, this man called His Majesty is even more legendary, every time he appears, he can drive the sales of gossip magazines for a period of time, you can imagine Lu Hao's combat effectiveness and the vastness of all over China.
A certain reporter hiding in the crowd secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Lu Yu arrived today, he really couldn't ask a certain question, after all, when Lu Yu added fuel and vinegar to the face of Lu Yu, he was afraid that he would be torn to pieces by the angry Lu Hao, although the news was good, it would have to be life-threatening to send it.
"This film is the most proud work I have ever made, and I would like to thank all the staff, including the two leading actors around me, whose acting skills have shown me the hope of Chinese films rushing to the world." Jin Qing's eyes were full of gratitude, "In my most difficult time, there were many people who avoided me, and many people cut off their robes and broke their righteousness with me, and never got along with each other from old age, in this case, I once thought about quitting the entertainment industry, and I also used to self-exile and prepare to shoot some bad movies." ”
Jin Qing's tone was heavy, and the reporters were shocked by the words of this young director, who has been famous since his first work and is known as a generation of ghost talents, although they all thought about the predicament that this young director would encounter since the Huaqi brothers announced the ban on Jin Qing, after all, he is not an old director like Zhang Jiran who has long gained fame and fortune and has rich connections.
It's just that I never thought that this director, who has always been stubborn and persistent in the eyes of outsiders, would have been so shaken, they thought that a new star was going to fall like this, but they didn't expect that because of the existence of Hua Feng, he actually got up again, carrying a stronger film than before.
"When I was at my worst, I even mortgaged my house to the bank as money for filming, and I stayed in a youth hostel for 20 yuan a night, and I was still thinking about what I should eat for my next meal, but fortunately, fortunately, I didn't want to give up at that time."
Jin Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, Fenghua looked at Jin Qing with emotion, men have always shown a stubborn or poisonous side in front of them, so that almost everyone ignored the sadness and helplessness that the director once had.
"Director, you're successful right now." Fenghua looked at Jin Qing with a smile.
"yes, it's all in the past." Liu Quan nodded beside him, quite a feeling of sympathy, he was frozen by the small brokerage company in that way, rushed to the major crews, and played those small roles that no one cared about, and he also had this kind of huge panic, worried about whether his next meal would be settled.
Jin Qing looked at the two, and the tears in his eyes gradually faded.
"Yes, I won't say more, it's all over, I'm grateful that you can come to cheer today, and I won't forget it in the future, I'm sorry to let everyone listen to so much nonsense about me, let's start asking questions now."
Everyone in the audience applauded, Fenghua looked at Jin Qing with a smile, he always felt that this director was like a diamond, and he knew from a distance that he was worth a lot, but there were always too many edges and corners, and the glittering facet would one day cut himself, but after these things, Jin Qing had become a warm and beautiful jade, and those quietly put away the edges and corners made his value to a higher level.
Jin Qing's purpose in saying these words today is by no means untargeted, let alone simply complaining about those who are ungrateful.
These words, which should have been buried in the heart of the proud Jin Qing, were said at this moment, just to win sympathy.
Yes, winning sympathy, this was once the most hated method by Jin Qing, but it was skillfully applied at this moment, without the slightest resentment, let alone grievance, it was simply used as a means, and now after listening to Jin Qing's difficult struggle history, except for those who have ghosts in their hearts, I am afraid it is difficult for the rest of the reporters to ask too sharp questions.
Lu Qi nodded towards Fenghua without a trace, expressing his appreciation for Jin Qing's behavior, and several people sat in the question seat, waiting for the reporters to ask questions.
"The director is good, he is getting more and more stylish." Fenghua asked softly under the cover of the microphone, and Jin Qing smiled.
"It's okay, it's called maturity."
Only mature people know how to put down their bodies and use the necessary means to get more benefits, Han Xin can accept the humiliation of his crotch at the beginning, but he can command the troops at the end, not to mention ordinary people.
A few people in the seat looked at each other and smiled, let's work together and grow together, all the achievements are not empty words, just watch this movie.
"Journalists, prepare to ask questions." Lucci nodded to the audience, and soon a reporter raised his hand to ask questions.
What does director Jin Qing say about his film? Can it break the box office record set by Zhang Jiran not long ago? ”
Jin Qing turned on the microphone and replied with a gentle smile, without the arrogance of the past, "Thank you for this reporter's question, I am indeed very confident in this movie, but the box office still depends on your support, let's work together." ”
"May I ask Miss Hua Feng, how would you rate your performance in the movie?"
Fenghua bowed his head and turned on the microphone, "Ten points, because every time I shoot a movie or TV series, I will go all out to reach the limit of what I can achieve, and I hope to be perfect, so every movie is the best state I can shoot at this stage, so I give myself ten points." ”
Although the score is very high, but Fenghua's reason does not make people feel her complacency, all the reporters nodded, all the people present today are people with high emotional intelligence, and they answer questions very well.
"Ask reporter 20 for questions." In order to facilitate the question, every reporter has a number in his hand, and at this moment, Lu Qi is asking a reporter from the S City Evening News, who is a staunch supporter of Chen's Film and Television.
Wang Cang stood up, his eyes flashed with guilt, I'm sorry, Director Jin Qing, and Miss Hua Feng, today is destined to be a day of shame for you.

Today's million words╭(╯3╰)╮ Thank you, thank you, without your support, "Daughter" would not have come to this point, I have you along the way, I am very happy! 【Deep Bow】
