Incheon International Airport, South Korea.

Ye Zhiqiu, his agent Song Mei, his assistant and others just walked out of the exit, and they were immediately greeted by someone waiting on the side.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

"Thank you for your hard work. The car is ready. Please come this way."

The visitor was a middle-aged man in a suit, who greeted Ye Zhiqiu very enthusiastically.

"Minister An, we meet again." Ye Zhiqiu nodded and declined the other party's offer to help him pull his suitcase.

An Zhongzai's face lit up and said, "Mr. Ye still remembers me."

The middle-aged man's name is An Zhongzai, a minister of the "Asian Music Awards" organizing group. The last time Ye Zhiqiu came to South Korea, he was picked up by the other party.

This time Ye Zhiqiu came to South Korea for two main things.

One is that he was invited by the organizer of the new "Asian Music Awards" award ceremony, but this time the role is a little different, as an award presenter.

Secondly, his new film "Strange Girl" in cooperation with "SG Entertainment" is currently being filmed and is currently in the final stage. Although this film is not led by him, Ye Zhiqiu has no intention of intervening.

But he is a screenwriter after all, and it is not justifiable not to show up once. In addition, since "SG Entertainment" has high hopes for this work, the filming progress is not fast. Now that it is about to be completed, Jin Meiying has repeatedly and strongly invited him to come to the crew.

In fact, the other party is just worried and wants him to see if there is any problem. After all, Ye Zhiqiu has successful experience in many works such as "When a Man Falls in Love" and "Dying to Survive".

Ye Zhiqiu has no objection. After all, it is his own work. He is also worried that "SG Entertainment" lacks experience in film and television and will mess it up in the end. He also holds 15% of the shares in it!

As for being the award presenter at the "Asian Music Awards" ceremony, it is just a side job.

Generally, when attending such award ceremonies, guests can show their faces in the local market and increase their popularity, which is helpful for subsequent commercial activities and work promotion. But considering Ye Zhiqiu's current status in the international music scene, it is no exaggeration to say that the Korean market is not that important.

Under the leadership of An Zhongzai, the group walked out, but they were stopped by reporters who heard the news after a few steps.

"Mr. Ye, can I ask a few questions?!"

"What do you think about the selection of the World Cup theme song?!"

"Mr. Ye, as the first singer in Asia to appear on the stage of the opening ceremony of the World Cup, can you share your thoughts?!"

The reporters swarmed up and surrounded the group tightly.

Many microphones were pushed in front of Ye Zhiqiu, but most of the questions were about the World Cup theme song. Ye Zhiqiu had to stop and say a few official words.

The movement here was not small, and gradually attracted the attention of passers-by. There were also many Chinese tourists in the airport. Some people were very excited after recognizing Ye Zhiqiu, and they quickly took out their mobile phones to record videos.

However, the next moment, a sudden question sounded.

"Mr. Ye, someone on the Internet said that you 'robbed' the Korean singer Choi Jun-yi of the World Cup theme song qualification. Is this true?!"

After the words fell, the scene fell into silence, and the atmosphere changed subtly. All reporters stared at Ye Zhiqiu with sharp eyes.

On the side, Song Mei and others who followed Ye Zhiqiu changed their expressions slightly.

This reporter obviously came to find fault with questions.

At the beginning of the World Cup theme song selection, the FIFA organizing committee intended to find a work from an Asian singer. At that time, the target was locked on Ye Zhiqiu and Choi Jun-yi, the captain of the Korean "X Fire" boy group. The two competed in the air, and Ye Zhiqiu won in the end. This is a well-known fact.

In fact, unlike the "Buddhist" mentality of Chinese fans, many Korean fans of Choi Jun-yi still attach great importance to this matter.

After all, the Korean team will play in this World Cup. If their own singers go on the opening ceremony stage to sing again, wouldn't it be perfect...?

Therefore, when the results of the selection by the organizing committee came out, many disappointed Korean netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction, and even posted some remarks on the Internet similar to "there is a shady exchange of interests between the organizing committee and Ye Zhiqiu".

"Conspiracy theories" on the Internet will never disappear, and people with discerning eyes can naturally see that this is nonsense, but the reporter asked this question to the parties in the open, which is obviously not well-intentioned.

The reporter stared at Ye Zhiqiu, and he was ready to continue to ask sharp questions no matter what Ye Zhiqiu said.

He knew that Ye Zhiqiu would never admit it, so he prepared a lot of "evidence" for this. As long as the other party opened his mouth, he would definitely be able to ask him down!

Beside Ye Zhiqiu, An Zhongzai, who came to pick him up at the airport, also frowned slightly, with an unhappy face, and was consideringConsider whether to forcibly interrupt the interview.

The accompanying staff and passers-by fans were all sweating, but Ye Zhiqiu looked normal.

He did not answer the reporter's question, but just replied with two words.

"Which one?"

The questioner was stunned, Song Mei was also stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and felt relieved.

The reporters were stupid and had not reacted yet, Ye Zhiqiu pretended to be puzzled and asked: "So Mr. Cui is also going to write two theme songs for the organizing committee?"

"Both opportunities were taken away by me?"

"......" The reporter who asked the question opened his mouth, his expression was as uncomfortable as constipation, and his face was extremely wonderful.

"Puchi~"

"Hahaha~"

On the side, many Chinese tourists and passers-by who were paying attention to the situation here laughed, and they were very happy.

The organizing committee included a total of six songs for the theme song of this World Cup, and Ye Zhiqiu had two selected!

The organizing committee didn't stipulate that only one song from an Asian singer can be selected. You, Cui Junyi, just have no ability. Can you blame others?

The laughter of passers-by made the reporter's face turn red. He was so angry that he shouted: "Even if you are on the opening ceremony of the World Cup, so what!?"

"But your country's team will not appear on the field, only you will be on the stage. Don't you feel ashamed?!"

After the voice fell, there was silence around, and Ye Zhiqiu's face also sank.

Song Mei was also angry. This question was just looking for trouble and firing randomly.

On the side, some tourists and passers-by from China reacted and started to curse.

No matter how bad our team plays, no matter how much we curse, it is our own business. When is it your turn as a foreigner to point fingers?

"Fuck! What is this guy talking about!"

"You're asking for a fight, aren't you?!"

"You're just playing football, and you're out of breath!?"

An Zhongzai's face also changed, and he cursed, "Hey! What are you talking about!"

"Ah Xiba... Which media are you from? Do you know the rules?"

Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand to signal, and the passerby who was cursing stopped. The reporter who asked the question obviously gave up and looked directly into Ye Zhiqiu's eyes provocatively.

Ye Zhiqiu's face was cold. He did not answer the other party, but asked calmly: "If your national team entered the World Cup, but your singer did not appear at the opening ceremony, would you feel ashamed?"

The reporter's face changed, and he said stubbornly: "Of course not!"

"Besides, our singer could have been on the stage, but you took away his opportunity!"

"Of course you won't." Ye Zhiqiu smiled disdainfully and said: "First, the reason why my song was selected by the organizing committee is based on my strength, not my thick skin."

"Second, I think as long as you work hard to do something, whether you succeed or not, you don't have to feel ashamed."

"On the contrary, those who have not done it, and keep making excuses and are unwilling to face their failures should feel more ashamed."

After that, Ye Zhiqiu ignored the reporter whose face was turning pale and walked away.
