At a food stall near ATV, Chen Qiming and Leslie Cheung found a hidden corner, ordered food, accompanied by wine, and chatted while drinking.

As far as Chen Qiming knows, Leslie Cheung's alcohol consumption is quite good.

But today, maybe because of his mood, he was a little drunk after a few drinks.

"To be honest, sometimes I really envy you.

Speaking of red, you are more popular now than when I was at my peak.

But you are so popular, but the media will not grasp your shortcomings.

On the other hand, no matter what I do, the media always chase after me.

Like, like I owe them in my last life. ”

The slightly drunk Leslie Cheung talked about the recent bad things, and his mood was both sluggish and angry.

In this regard, Chen Qiming did not know how to comfort him.

Leslie Cheung said that the media only troubled him, which is indeed true.

But another fact is that his affair is indeed more worthy of attack in the eyes of the media than Chen Qiming's explosion.

After all, in this era, public sexual orientation is male, and this kind of thing will more or less make the already traditional Chinese people uncomfortable.

Of course, the reason why Chen Qiming is rarely attacked by the media is largely due to his own strength.

is not the strength of music singers and movie stars, but from his identity as a business tycoon.

In the past, when Chen Qiming did not run his company and was still an artist, he was also facing the dilemma of Leslie Cheung.

Until Chen Qiming built a huge entertainment empire, coupled with his current relationship with the official.

For various reasons, those media have to carefully consider the consequences of reporting when reporting on Chen Qiming.

If someone dares to report indiscriminately, even, even if it is true, as long as the news is unfavorable to Chen Qiming, he has a way to bubble up those media that report him.

Therefore, although Chen Qiming is extremely popular now, and his news is also very valuable, few media dare to report his negative news at will.

On the other hand, Leslie Cheung, he does have a very high status in the entertainment industry.

But in the final analysis, he is just an artist, no matter how famous he is, for the media, he is just an object they can attack casually.

Moreover, who made Leslie Cheung do something that defies the world's condemnation again!

"Alas...... Sometimes I really think about it. ”

Leslie Cheung picked up the cup, took a sip of the wine in the cup, and sighed.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning.

He thought of the ending of Leslie Cheung in his dream.

"Come to Pacific Entertainment! I'll try to help you with this. Chen Qiming said.

In fact, Chen Qiming can directly help Leslie Cheung greet those media.

But after his career grows, whenever Chen Qiming wants to do something, he always thinks about what interests he has.

Leslie Cheung, if he helps, the biggest benefit to him is undoubtedly to sign Leslie Cheung into the company.

"Pacific Entertainment?" Leslie Cheung paused for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, I'm used to being free now, and I can't stand the constraints, so I won't come to your company." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Qiming again and said, "However, if you have something, I will be on call." ”

Hearing Leslie Cheung's words, Chen Qiming was slightly silent.

Although he did not agree to join Pacific Entertainment, the phrase "on call" still touched Chen Qiming a lot.

"Yes! I'll call you if I need you. Chen Qiming raised his glass and touched him.

The two drank for about two hours, considering that they would continue to record the show tomorrow, and at about nine o'clock, the two said goodbye to each other, and then took the car home.

After returning to the villa and sobering up with cold water, Chen Qiming thought for a while in the living room, then picked up the phone and called the senior management of the Hong Kong and Taiwan newspapers he knew.

"Jack, it's me, Chen Qiming, who wants you to do me a favor......"

"Miss Jiahui ......"

……

While everyone was asleep, no one knew that the major newspapers in Hong Kong were very busy that night.

"Destroy, destroy, this tomorrow's cover news is back in action."

"All the news about Leslie Cheung's sexual orientation has been removed, someone has said hello, you can mention this news in the future, but you can't maliciously attack Leslie Cheung."

Many newspaper factories were busy all night.

All the news that was planned to cover the attack on Leslie Cheung was temporarily removed from the shelves and replaced with other news.

As a result, because of the temporary change of manuscript last night, many newspaper delivery vehicles were late for the next day.

……

Early in the morning, Leslie Cheung, who was very drunk last night, got up from bed early.

It's already his habit to get up early, no matter how much alcohol he drank the night before, or how late he filmed.

As long as he has work, he will get up very early the next day to prepare for the day's work.

If it's filming, get up early to study the role, and if it's going to be recorded, study the score.

And if it is an interview and a variety show, then he will think about how to deal with the host's problems that annoy him on the show.

A glass of milk, two eggs.

This is his breakfast for the day, a habit that has been there since very early and has never changed.

"It's strange that there is no negative news about us in today's newspaper, do you know what's going on?"

At this moment, Tang, who had gone out to walk the dog, came back, and he put the newspaper in front of Leslie Cheung with a strange face.

Seeing the newspaper, Leslie Cheung subconsciously shrank back.

Since his relationship with Don became known to outsiders, he no longer reads newspapers.

Because, as long as you read the newspaper, you can always see some news attacking him and Don on it.

No matter how calm a person is, he will not be able to stand it when he sees the newspaper scolding himself every day.

Since last year, he has been afraid of newspapers.

"You can see, today's news is really strange, and there is no big news, but about our news, the attitude has changed greatly, and it is no longer a blind attack.

There were even articles that appeared in support of us. ”

Tang, as Leslie Cheung's closest person, naturally understands Leslie Cheung's situation.

Seeing that he was afraid of the newspaper, he explained carefully.

"Have an article to back us up?"

Hearing this, Leslie Cheung was stunned.

He looked at the newspaper and tried to reach out, but he didn't dare.

Eventually, in Don's encouraging eyes, he overcame his fear and stretched out his hand.

"ATV's talent show "Idol of the Times" officially began recording, and four mentors attended shockingly"

"Soros retreats to Hong Kong, losing more than $2.4 billion"

We should not discriminate against homosexuals.

Today's news is very strong.

Whether it is ATV's era idols, it has brought together four Asian superstars as mentors.

Or whether the hedge fund led by Soros finally lost to Hong Kong, these are all topics that can arouse heated discussions.

Leslie Cheung did not focus on these two news articles, but directly looked at the article "We should not discriminate against homosexuals".

Below the title is a photo of himself and Don.

It was last year, when he and Tang went out to watch the play, and after being followed by reporters, he took a photo of Tang's hand in anger.

From this photo, Leslie Cheung can see that this news is actually related to himself.

This is the first time Leslie Cheung has seen such a news headline in a newspaper.

In the past, the headlines of news about him were not "Leslie Cheung's sexual orientation", "Leslie Cheung likes men", "Leslie Cheung and his beloved Tang's ......".

In short, the ill-intentioned nature of the media can be seen in these headlines.

There is almost no news like this one that directly calls for a proper view of homosexuality.

After staring at the title for a long time, Leslie Cheung began to read the content carefully.

The content in it is exactly the same as the headline, which is a news article that calls for everyone to put homosexuality in perspective.

He and Don are also mentioned.

Unlike in the past, when he was mentioned, he was always said to be sick, etc., but this time the words about him are all praised.

Praise him for daring to open up about his love.

Praise him for not being in the eyes of the world.

"Do you know what's going on?" Don asked again.

"I don't know yet, but I'm pretty much there."

Leslie Cheung said, recalling in his mind what Chen Qiming said when he separated from Chen Qiming last night:

"I grew up listening to your songs when I was very young.

It's no exaggeration to say that you are one of my idols.

Now, we're friends too, very good kind of friends.

I really don't want to see you holding back so much in your heart.

I'll help you out with the media.

I hope that even if there are people talking about it and some people criticizing it, you will be strong. ”

At that time, he was too drunk and didn't take this to heart, but now when he saw this article, Leslie Cheung immediately understood that it should be Chen Qiming who made a move.

"I remember that Wang Shengyou next door has determined most of the newspapers in Hong Kong!" Leslie Cheung asked Tang.

"It seems that there is such a thing, he loves to read newspapers very much, and he basically subscribes to large and small newspapers in Hong Kong." Don recalled for a moment and replied.

"You go to him and borrow some of today's newspapers, I think it's probably not just this one." Leslie Cheung said.

"What do you mean......" Don looked surprised.

"Yes, probably, most of the newspapers in Hong Kong will not attack us on purpose."

Leslie Cheung is like a thousand pounds of weight has been unloaded.

It's indescribably light.

For the first time in a long time, a smile appeared on his face.

"I'll go."

Seeing Leslie Cheung's expression, Tang was overjoyed and walked quickly to the next door.

After a while, he returned, and brought back several newspapers.

"Really, really like you said, many of these newspapers don't mention us anymore, and even if they do, they tend to be positive."

Don was like a child, so happy that tears came out.

Leslie Cheung took the newspaper and read it one by one.

After reading it, he couldn't help but spread out on the sofa.

"Haha......" he smirked, "finally, finally these damn newspapers are not aimed at me." ”

"Ah Rong, you should know who is helping! Who the hell is he? ”

After the two were excited, Tang began to ask Leslie Cheung.

"I had a few drinks with Ming Tsai last night, and he seemed to see my troubles and said he would help me solve this matter when he left." Leslie Cheung said while looking for the phone.

"Chen Qiming?" Don confirmed.

"Well, that's him." Leslie Cheung nodded.

"It's not surprising if it's him, you used to say that he was good friends with you, but I didn't expect your relationship to be so good.

And he is the only person in the entertainment industry who can suppress most of the newspapers in Hong Kong, after all, because of the 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars he provided to the government, his relationship with the government is very high.

There is not a single newspaper in Hong Kong that will not give him face. ”

Tang sighed.

"I'll give him a call, and I'm going to thank him for that." Leslie Cheung has already found Chen Qiming's phone number.

"Yes, yes, yes, in this way, Ah Rong, you invite him to Fulin Tower! I'll call to book a table, and I'll be sure to thank him for that. Tang also said to Leslie Cheung while looking for the phone number of Fu Linlou.

Leslie Cheung dialed Chen Qiming's phone.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected.

"Hey! Who is it? ”

Chen Qiming on the phone had a very nasal voice, and he looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

Leslie Cheung felt a little guilty for disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, but he got through and didn't care about these few minutes.

He first asked Chen Qiming if he had said hello to the media.

After receiving the confirmation, he immediately thanked him solemnly and invited Chen Qiming to have dinner at Fulin Building this evening.

"Brother, you are too outward, I said last night that we are friends.

There is no need to be so polite between friends.

And, you may not remember, but I do, every time I was questioned by the media, you supported me.

You're such a friend, of course I can't drop the chain.

So, it's okay to eat, but don't say more thanks. ”

Chen Qiming, who was on the phone, heard that Leslie Cheung had been thanking him, and couldn't help but say so.

The reason why Chen Qiming still helped Leslie Cheung.

The main reason is the word friend.

He really doesn't have many friends in the circle.

Leslie Cheung counts as one.

Moreover, Chen Qiming said that Leslie Cheung supported him not as a joke, but it really happened.

In the past few years, Chen Qiming was often questioned by other peers and attacked by the media.

And several times, Leslie Cheung has stood on his side, and he has publicly supported him every time.

Even, when the two didn't know each other, Leslie Cheung only listened to his songs and supported him in public.

Leslie Cheung is so righteous and cares so much.

Chen Qiming now has the ability to help him, he naturally can't be ambiguous, even if helping Leslie Cheung can't bring him tangible benefits, it still costs a lot of favor and money, but getting Leslie Cheung's friendship is enough.

The reason why it is said here is that it costs favor and money.

It's because Chen Qiming has done it.

But there is actually a lot of investment.

He does have face on the side of the Hong Kong media.

But if you ask someone to do something, you can always give no benefit to others!

It's no good, even if you have energy again, after one or two times, I'm afraid others won't give you face anymore.

In the matter of Leslie Cheung, in order to persuade those newspapers, Chen Qiming not only asked people to give them red envelopes, but also owed some favors.

Although this favor is not big, but a favor is a favor.

This thing has to be returned.
