Chapter 91 The Catfish in the Entertainment Industry: I'll Teach You How to Write the Word "Respect"
In the brightly lit studio.
On the huge backdrop screen at the scene.
The trailer for director Zhang Mou's new film "The Great Wall" was playing on a loop.
Several key members of the creative team sat on the stage that had been set up on site.
Guided by the host, they communicated and interacted with journalists or ordinary movie fans in the audience.
Director Zhang Mou and the lead actors' humorous and witty answers frequently drew laughter from the audience.
Especially Peng Yiyan, who has eight-pack abs and striking good looks, always elicits screams from female fans in the audience every time he speaks.
When the female lead, Jing Tian, opened her mouth, it also drew a chorus of howls from the male fans.
Wang Yueheng, who sang the theme song, was seated next to director Zhang Mou.
He would occasionally speak up to answer questions about the inspiration and ideas behind the songs.
"Hello Wang Yueheng, what is your opinion on the online rumors that you received the exam questions for the 'Good Singer' competition in advance?"
"Has the female lead in the 'Nocturne' music video been found? Was her suicide related to cyberbullying?"
"All four of your new songs have made it onto the new song charts, and all of them are above Wu Chi's new song 'yeyeye.' Is there anything you want to say to Wu Chi?"
"I heard that the female lead in the 'Nocturne' music video is an orphan. Could you tell me more about her?"
"Wang Yueheng, do you think Yu Jingshu's death was due to depression or cyberbullying?"
As the Q&A session of the live roadshow progressed.
More and more topics are starting to focus on Wang Yueheng, who has recently become very popular.
Upon hearing these questions involving gossip and controversy, director Zhang Mou and others frowned slightly.
The people on the stage turned to look at Wang Yueheng.
I'm curious how this new singer will answer.
In response, Wang Yueheng raised the microphone and said:
"Today's main event is a promotional event for director Zhang Mou's film 'The Great Wall.' Please feel free to ask us any questions about the film. Thank you."
"If the media friends in the audience really have no questions, then I will start interviewing the crew on your behalf. Remember to share half of the prize money with me then."
With just two simple sentences, he directly dismissed the inappropriate questions raised on the spot.
This drew enthusiastic laughter from the audience.
Wang Yueheng's earnest yet humorous answer immediately won the favor of the film crew members present.
Director Zhang Mou smiled again as he looked at him.
Know your limits and don't try to impress others.
Besides being talented, he is also an artist with high emotional intelligence.
Hearing Wang Yueheng's answer, Ni Yongying, who was standing below the stage, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wang Yueheng did not fall into the media's trap and rashly answer various gossip questions on site.
Otherwise, no matter how well he speaks, he will only be disliked by the main creators on stage for trying to steal the show.
Wang Yueheng then steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Reporters at the scene resumed asking questions related to the film.
However, at that moment...
Another untimely voice rang out.
"Mr. Wang Yueheng, you have been avoiding questions throughout the event. Are you feeling guilty and unwilling to answer?"
"Don't you have anything to say about the suicide of that music video actress who suffered from depression?"
"Or rather, you feel nothing at all about her departure?"
"There are also widespread rumors that you cheated to get the exam questions for good singers in advance and then composed your own songs. Don't you plan to clarify this?"
The questioner was a tall, thin reporter with a side-parted hairstyle.
The other person looked coldly at the stage, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and asked Wang Yueheng.
Hearing the reporter ask such a direct question...
The atmosphere that had just become lively quieted down again.
The surrounding audience looked at the man who asked the question with surprise, secretly admiring the reporter's courage.
Ni Yongying, who was standing below the stage, couldn't help but turn around, wondering which media outlet was so rude.
Knowing full well that this is movie promotion, they deliberately chose to ask such misleading questions.
There's even a suspicion that they're trying to stir up trouble.
Do you really think the TV station security guards are just sitting around doing nothing?
However, Ni Yongying was stunned when she saw the man's face clearly.
A sense of foreboding suddenly filled my heart.
How come this guy is here again? Wasn't he always in Shenzhen...?
"May I ask which media outlet you belong to?"
Wang Yueheng looked up and asked the stranger who had stood up to ask a question, and then asked him in return.
"Nancheng Entertainment Weekly, my name is Hong Tengshao."
The man who asked the question not only stated his media organization, but also said his own name on the spot.
