Chapter 206 Episode at the Press Conference
Although Xu Kun has been trying to look like a "domineering CEO" recently, he doesn't really wear that look very often, mainly because he looks tight from head to toe and not comfortable at all.
The reason for dressing up today is to carry out early publicity.
A while ago, Xu Kun actually deposited all those luxury goods with Lao Jia.
As a result, after hearing about this, LeTV's publicity and promotion department wanted to hold a simple press conference and let Xu Kun and Tian Youliang talk about what preparations they had made for the filming of "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me".
The top priority, of course, is Xu Kun’s new look and a variety of luxury items.
This is to promote the TV series and also to boost the morale and reputation of - has been having a hard time recently due to the backlash from public opinion.
After everything was ready at the photo studio, it was almost 9: in the morning. Xu Kun got into the car in a hurry. Because he was worried about ruining his hairstyle, he could only sit upright in the back seat.
Fortunately, when the shooting officially starts, the stylist from the photo studio will also join the crew, otherwise it would be too troublesome to go back and forth.
By the way, because of the huge success of “Swordsman”, this stylist has been promoted to the second largest shareholder of the studio, otherwise he would not have been able to stay.
While starting the car, Zhu Yawen observed Xu Kun through the rearview mirror.
When filming "Heavenly Sword", he was only responsible for acting and never paid much attention to the things behind the scenes. Now, because he has to carry Xu Kun's bag and drive, he has gained a lot of experience.
When he originally learned about the general plot, he was a little disdainful of this kind of melodrama, but he didn't expect Xu Kun to take it so seriously and even specially come up with a new look.
Those luxury goods also opened his eyes.
It turns out that it’s not just luck that makes Kun Ge famous!
This also made Zhu Yawen reflect on whether he was too lax in his job and career as an actor.
He originally regarded these two years as a punishment for himself, but now he feels that he might be able to learn a lot of things that would not be taught in school.
Of course, even if it was a blessing in disguise, his hatred for Liu Xiaoli would not diminish in the slightest.
Because of the traffic jam on the road, despite rushing, we still arrived at LeTV half an hour later than scheduled.
Seeing that Tian Youliang was already standing on the stage, Xu Kun didn't even bother to greet Jia Yueting and hurried onto the stage.
I don’t know how LeTV managed it, but they actually drove all the cars into the hall and parked them on the left and right of the stage. There was a Bentley on the left and a V8 Land Rover on the right.
This is the car Xu Kun uses most often in the drama. In addition, he also booked a Toyota Cruiser to shoot the scene in which the heroine, who was riding a bicycle, was knocked down and accidentally scratched the hero's car.
However, the Toyota will only appear once. Firstly, it shows the hero's wealth - the car is just scratched and he just replaces it with a new one; secondly, it is also to make the note taken out by the protagonist in the finale seem more reasonable.
According to the script: After the heroine scratched the hero's car, she waited for a long time but the owner didn't show up, so she wrote a note and stuck it on the wiper, asking the owner to call her to negotiate compensation.
It was because of this that the hero fell in love with the heroine at first sight, and kept the note until the end. He only took out the note when the heroine went to visit him in prison in the finale, and finally reconciled with the heroine.
If the male protagonist continues to drive a Toyota Cruiser, the plot will be illogical.
After getting on the stage and exchanging a few simple greetings with Tian Youliang, the press conference began under the hosting of Gan Wei.
The questions that reporters asked at first were: Where did the script come from? Why is the name of this play so strange? Where did Xu Kun's look come from? Where did the luxury goods on the shelf come from? Will they all be used in the play?
These were all prepared long ago. Xu Kun and Tian Youliang talked back and forth, and with Gan Wei making jokes, the atmosphere was quite friendly and harmonious. Until a reporter suddenly stood up...
"Your crew has so many luxury goods. Does that count as showing off your wealth? Will it encourage young people to worship money?"
The press conference was suddenly silent, and Gan Wei gestured and asked, "Excuse me, which media outlet are you from?"
"Which media outlet am I from? Does it have anything to do with the question I asked?" The reporter avoided Gan Wei's question and asked loudly, "I also want to know if all these luxury goods are related to Mr. Xu's gang background? I heard that gangsters in Northeast China like to wear a lot of luxury goods on their bodies..."
"Haha~"
Seeing the scene getting more chaotic, Xu Kun suddenly laughed and interrupted the reporter, then asked, "If you say so, those who like to use luxury goods are all gangsters? Then what about the sponsors who place advertisements for you?"
The reporters in the audience laughed in unison. Not many media were invited today, and everyone had given enough red envelopes, so the questions just now were so tacit and harmonious.
Amidst the laughter, the reporter persisted and wanted to ask more questions, but Zhu Yawen and LeTV staff held him from both sides and asked him to show his press pass.
"I have the right to know. The public has the right to know. Are you feeling guilty? Xu Kun, if you have the guts, answer my question..."
Because he refused to show any identification, he was eventually dragged out by the two men.
After this episode, the following interviews seemed a bit perfunctory. Everyone’s attention was no longer on the interviews, but on the identity of the reporter who had disrupted the event.
The press conference ended anticlimactically.
Xu Kun followed Gan Wei to Jia Yueting's side, and saw that Jia's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Wang Wei from who did it. Damn, I just withdrew the lawsuit, and I didn't expect him to dare to come to my door. I really underestimated him before!"
recently stated that the pirated contents were all uploaded voluntarily by netizens, so can only be regarded as failing to supervise properly. If there is any real need to investigate, the only ones left to pursue are the netizens who uploaded these pirated videos.
Faced with this situation, Jia Yueting had no choice but to withdraw the lawsuit.
The main reason is the current public opinion environment, which doesn't care about whether it is genuine or not. If you really want to investigate the "netizen" who uploaded the video, no matter whether this netizen is real or just a guest star on Tudou, he will be rejected and disliked by most netizens.
"Humph, but Wang Wei shouldn't be too happy. The copyright issue will backfire on Tudou sooner or later - it's not that there won't be a backlash, it's just that the time has not come yet!"
Having said that, LeTV cannot just sit and wait for Tudou to be attacked, so Jia Yueting plans to have LeTV's self-media keep a close eye on Tudou, focusing on popular TV series with large traffic. Once Tudou uploads a video, he will call them and ask them to delete it.
You Tudou said that there are too many uploaded things and you can’t supervise them all. So, can we at LeTV help you supervise them?
Xu Kun was listening to Jia Yueting talking about how to deal with when he suddenly heard Zhu Yawen whisper in the back, "Maybe Chen Jinfei did it."
Xu Kun glanced at him and felt that it was possible.
"correct."
At this time, Jia Yueting said seriously: "In fact, if you didn't come today, I would have gone to find you. I'm afraid our plan must be brought forward, and we have to make some modifications."
The 'plan' he was talking about was of course his own web series.
But what does it mean to make some changes?
From what Lao Jia said, it's obviously not as simple as modifying the script.
