Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 52: One Battle to Become a God (Part )
The time came on September 4th.

More than 200 media outlets from across the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asian countries arrived in the CPPCC auditorium early.

Li Chen turned a TV drama launch conference into an annual conference for Southeast Asian news media.

The auditorium was packed with people, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.

On the rectangular table on the stage were placed the name tags of the people attending the press conference.

In the middle are Han Sanping, Li Chen, Hou Hongliang, Zhang Jianxin and other producers and creative staff who went to Guandong.

Li Chen and Hou Hongliang discussed with several main actors and decided not to let them come as there was no need.

What is mainly highlighted today is the arduous process of early creation of Crossing Guandong, not the wrap-up press conference.

However, the media is of course more concerned about the Dae Jang Geum incident.

It is said that the review of the drama Dae Jang Geum by the review committee has been temporarily suspended.

It seems that the review result of Dae Jang Geum will be decided based on this press conference.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Chen and his group appeared in the CPPCC auditorium.

The media has been eagerly awaiting it.

As soon as Li Chen got out of the car, he was surrounded by media in three layers.

"Director Li, Director Li, I'm a reporter from the Beijing News. I'm here today..."

"Director Li, Director Li, I'm a reporter from the Huashang Daily. You..."

"Director Li, Director Li, I'm a reporter from the entertainment industry."

"Director Li, I'm a reporter from MBC."

Yang Siwei raised his hands and said with a smile: "Dear media friends, if you have any questions, Director Li will give you time to ask questions later."

"Today's theme is the launch conference of Crossing Guandong, and I hope the media friends will cooperate with us."

The staff of Rongchen Films separated the crowd and escorted Li Chen all the way into the CPPCC auditorium.

The people from Noon Sunshine have arrived, but the people from China Film Group have not yet arrived.

Han Sanping didn't arrive until five minutes before the start of the game.

Sitting in the center of the podium, Li Chen whispered, "Director Han, do you really not want to come?"

Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen and ignored the boy.

At half past six, the press conference officially began.

As a producer, Hou Hongliang shared with the main creative staff the hard work they put into writing the script for Crossing the Guandong over the past six months.

It is said that Crossing the Guandong is a historical masterpiece that is worthy of the heart.

The leading roles will be played by veteran actors such as Li Youbing and Sarina.

Li Youbing's Bright Sword was also released this year, and Hou Hongliang started early.

When "Bright Sword" is released, Li Youbing's salary will not be just tens of thousands.

The media listened patiently to the creative process of Chuang Guandong.

Sina is very supportive, although like many other media outlets, what we are most looking forward to is the big news about Dae Jang Geum.

But we still patiently interviewed each of the main creators of Crossing the Guandong.

It didn't end until half past seven.

The media stared at Li Chen like hungry wolves.

The instigator of the much-anticipated Dae Jang Geum incident is finally going to answer reporters' questions!
Sina real-time data shows.

The number of people online during the live broadcast of the launch conference of Crossing the Guandong broke the historical record of live broadcast with pictures and texts.

The first person to ask questions was a reporter from China Daily.

"Director Li, Ms. Yang Siwei recently said that she represented Rongchen Pictures. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Li Chen smiled with confidence, he wanted to verify his identity first and then fire at him.

Many South Korean media also came today.

Among them is the producer of Dae Jang Geum, MBC TV station.

"Yang Siwei is the publicity director of Rongchen Pictures. Of course he can represent me and Rongchen Pictures." Li Chen said.

"What do you think about the famous Chinese actress Zhang Guoli's support for Rongchen Films and her criticism of Dae Jang Geum?" A South Korean media began to lay the bait.

At this moment, Zhang Guoli and his wife Wang Xifeng were also watching this live broadcast.

Wang Xifeng sneered, "Old Zhang, this media outlet has no good intentions."

"What you said is untenable and has been criticized. Now let's see how Director Li will respond."

Zhang Guoli said nothing, just stared at the computer screen and ignored his wife.

Li Chen glanced at the South Korean media and smiled contemptuously: "Although Mr. Zhang Guoli's remarks have some flaws, I can understand them."

"Because after watching Dae Jang Geum, I became as angry as he was!"

South Korean media people couldn't help but smile.

The comments online have exploded.

"It's over, Director Li was fooled. He is following Zhang Guoli's old path."

"Alas, human relationships are like knives and worldly wisdom is like swords. Director Li is still too young."

"I thought Director Li had some brilliant ideas, but it turns out he's just a layman. The Koreans are going to be so happy."

Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen with an expressionless face.

The media continued to ask questions.

"So you agree with what Mr. Zhang Guoli said?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "When did I say that I agree with Mr. Zhang Guoli?" As soon as these words came out, even Han Sanping secretly cursed Li Chen in his heart for what he was doing.

What does this mean? Are you going to turn against yourself?

Liu Yifei stared at the computer screen, clenched her fists, and was extremely nervous.

It was as if she was the one sitting among the organizers.

Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly.

"So you don't agree with Mr. Zhang Guoli's remarks?"

Several South Korean media present at the scene already had smiles of victory on their faces.

Mainland media people were extremely disappointed.

Li Chen’s answer was so disappointing, like a fickle villain.

Li Chen glanced at the media gathered below the stage.

"I really don't agree!"

There has been a lot of criticism online.

Angry netizens left messages one after another, criticizing Li Chen for being despicable and shameless and having no stance.

"I think Mr. Zhang Guoli's remarks are not appropriate enough!"

As soon as this statement was made, the public opinion online changed again.

"What do you mean? Why do I feel like Director Li is implying that Zhang Guoli is too gentle?"

"Of course, Wang Xifeng should be asked to take action, just like she did with Youshi."

"Sister Feng is going to take action, and the sticks will be blasted to pieces!"

The reporter from China Daily seized the opportunity and stood up to ask questions.

"If you ask Director Li to evaluate it, what would Director Li say?"

Online sentiment is surging
"Director Li, please don't slap yourself in the face."

"I've become a fan just because of what you said!"

"My fans turned haters just because of what you said!"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Yang Siwei's statement on behalf of Rongchen Pictures is exactly what I meant."

"Let me change it a little bit. Change "bad intentions" to "evil intentions"!"

Wow.
The media at the scene went wild, and all the sharks who had seen blood raised their hands.

Some even asked questions directly, causing an uproar at the scene!
The Internet exploded.

"Fuck, I'm becoming a fan now, support Director Li!"

"Director Li is tough!"

"Director Li is a real man!"

All the messages almost paralyzed Sina's server.

Wang Changtian and Cao Guowei were sitting together at this time.

Cao Guowei just put down the phone and said with a wry smile: "Chang Tian, ​​our server is under tremendous pressure."

“There has never been such a crazy number of comments on a live broadcast.”

"Li Chen is a word, a thunder"

Wang Changtian said with a smile: "This is not good, just be happy!"

"SouHu and NetEase must be jealous, if it weren't for our relationship being so obvious."

“Can this live broadcast with pictures and texts be exclusive to Sina?”

Cao Guowei laughed and said, "By the way, Sina Blog has started internal testing. You and Li Chen should come and support it."

"Especially Li Chen, he became famous in one battle."

"I think if he joins our blog, his popularity will be comparable to that of a top-tier celebrity."

The most outraged were the South Korean media at the scene.

The reporter from MBC TV station stood up angrily and spoke righteously.

"Director Li, as a well-known director and legal representative of a film and television company, you must be responsible for what you said!"

The auditorium suddenly became much quieter. It seemed like a falling out was about to happen.

Li Chen smiled contemptuously: "Dae Jang Geum was produced by your MBC, right?"

"That's right!" the reporter was furious.

"Then listen carefully, I will certainly be responsible for what I said!"

"Even if you file a lawsuit, I will still say this!"

"But I advise you not to fight, otherwise you will be the ones who will be embarrassed."

Liu Yifei smiled happily when reading the messages online and also posted one anonymously.

Director Li, come on!
But it was soon drowned out by other exaggerated praises.

The MBC reporter had further questions.

Mainland reporters no longer give them a chance.

But the questions raised are also what they want to ask.

"Director Li, can you tell me the basis for your eight words?"

The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Chen.
