Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 533: A celebrity in the entertainment industry who is lurking in the shadows

On the morning of the 3rd, the Jiasheng Holiday Hotel finally opened up to a limited number of reporters. A press conference was scheduled to begin at 10:00, and reporters were allowed in starting at 9:00.

Along the riverside avenue, seeing all those people on the balconies and rooftops next to them, with binoculars and cameras, looking across the river, the camera in the backseat of the taxi muttered to Zheng Yong, 'These people might have more material than we do,'

Zheng Yong was a senior entertainment journalist and also a gold medalist reporter for entertainment headlines. He smiled, 'So what? They have the material, but can they find a platform to publish it?'

It's not like the present, when everyone can be a journalist with a camera phone and there are plenty of platforms to post what you've shot. Back then, there were no such conditions. Just take video websites, for example, they didn't become popular until four or five years later.

'Jia Sheng,' Zheng Yong looked at the towering hotel across the street, 'a previously unknown company, I don't know what connections they have, but they've managed to get two superstars to perform at the same time,'

'It doesn't matter what the relationship is. A newly registered creative culture media company that has the good fortune to invite a group of stars to put on a concert is crazy. Sooner or later, he will know that if he wants to eat this meal, he will be unable to go anywhere without us.' The cameraman spoke Zheng Yong's mind.

As soon as they arrived in the provincial capital the day before, Zheng Yong went around looking for acquaintances and well-connected officials, hoping to get a head start. Generally speaking, in such a landlocked place, with the popularity of their company, it is not difficult to handle such matters. However, not only did they not get the priority right to interview the stars, they could not even get in touch with the person in charge of this newly emerged Jiasheng Media.

There was nothing they could do but join the other journalists and wait at the airport. After a fruitless return, with the help of an acquaintance, they finally got the phone number of a director surnamed Gao at the Jiasheng Group office.

During the call, Zheng Yong first reported the name of the column and then his own name. The awkward thing was that the other party seemed to have no knowledge of their column or the weight of his name in the domestic entertainment industry. Very formulaically, he said, 'You will definitely be notified in advance of the time of the press conference.'

Zheng Yong was a little anxious when he heard the way he was about to hang up the phone. 'Do you know the influence of our entertainment headlines? Do you know how many stars beg us to report on them?'

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then a light remark was made, 'I really don't know much about it, but CCTV reporters have also contacted us, and they also have to wait until the day of the press conference.'

This remark was very powerful, and Zheng Yong was speechless after hearing it.

Now Zheng Yong listened to the camera's words and was very pleased. 'Don't be angry, just remember this. Sooner or later, they will come begging to us,'

The camera didn't say anything, but the taxi driver said something in the local dialect. Zheng Yong didn't understand very well, and thinking that the driver might be expressing his admiration for them, he asked in a particularly impolite manner, "What did you say, sir?'

The taxi driver switched to Mandarin and said, "I said, if you're so capable and so awesome, then don't come today!'

No matter what, Jiasheng is also a local company. The city newspaper and evening newspaper have reported on it many times in the past few days. This is the first time in the country that two kings have been invited to the same concert, and it is also the highest-level concert of the year. He has long been tired of listening to the two arrogant reporters ranting about how many pounds of rice and rice they can eat.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yong's face turned livid in an instant!

The driver did have a point, and they really had no response.

They wanted to say something harsh, but this was someone else's turf. Besides, they knew from travelling around that taxi drivers were rarely vegetarian.

Arguing with him? Forget it, it wouldn't get them anywhere. Besides, the driver was cursing them in the local dialect, which they didn't understand.

There was nothing they could do. The two cocky entertainment reporters got off the cab in a huff at the bridge. In the cars crossing the bridge, those with long and short cameras were all their peers.

Zheng Yong's words actually made sense. It is true that it is difficult to get little-known starlets on their show, but these top stars in the Chinese-speaking world really don't have to worry about a lack of media coverage. On the contrary, Zheng Yong and his colleague will definitely be scolded by their superiors if they fail to get any broadcast-ready material from this concert today.

At 10 o'clock sharp, the press conference officially began, and the God of Songs led a group of big and small stars from Universal to make their dazzling appearance.

The reporters from all walks of life who had been waiting for a day or two finally got to meet the real person. In an instant, they started snapping away with long and short cameras on stands and in their hands. The flashes were so bright that most people could hardly open their eyes, but the stars still smiled and waved calmly.

The host of the press conference, who was also one of the hosts for the night, had just been notified last night to replace Shen Xue, the other female host of the provincial station. Pan Menglan looked at the eager reporters in the audience and, without any nonsense, directly announced the start of the press conference.

Immediately, the arms of the entertainment reporters were raised, and Pan Menglan gave the opportunity for the first question to a reporter from the provincial TV station. Sure enough, the question was directed at the god of singing. 'We noticed that tonight, you are singing a new song, is it a recent composition?'

At these kinds of press conferences, most of the stars are very cooperative. Emperor Zhang laughed and said, 'Yes, this is my new work, and it can be said to have been created for today's concert!'

There seems to be a lot of information in these words.

The second question came from a CCTV reporter, who also asked the god of singing, 'In the past two years, you and several other superstars have rarely had the opportunity to perform on the same stage. Why did you make an exception this time?'

'This is not an exception. It's just that there are really not many opportunities to collaborate. Personally, I really hope to have more opportunities to perform on the same stage with them,'

Seeing that five questions had already been asked, Zheng Yong was a little anxious and was eager to jump up. Finally, the host pointed to him, 'Reporter from the entertainment headlines in the third row,'

Zheng Yong took the microphone and asked a question that had just come to him, 'As far as we know, Jiasheng Media is a newly established company that has never organised a large-scale concert before. To be precise, it has never organised any events before. What were your considerations in accepting their invitation? Was it because they offered a high price?'

This is what is known as shooting yourself in the foot in front of others.

While the others were fine with it, Pan Menglan was in a panic. Although the leader didn't say it explicitly, she heard the rumour that Shen Xue was temporarily removed because she had the nerve to contradict the boss of Jiasheng. Why did she happen to ask a reporter who was so uncooperative to ask a question?

Now, is her hosting of the event at night in jeopardy as well?

Fortunately, the God of Songs' answer was quite satisfactory. 'We and the founder of Jiasheng are old friends, and we fully trust him to host such a performance,'

...

The first concert ended perfectly, and the journalists were quite happy. It seemed that there was a lot to be gleaned from the singer's answer.

There were also those who were unhappy, such as the celebrities. Apart from King Zhang, several of the others didn't even get to ask a question. This is the entertainment industry, a very, very realistic entertainment industry.

This is also why Jiasheng did not arrange for the two kings to be interviewed together on the same stage. If there are more reporters down there who like King Zhang and fewer who like King Liu, wouldn't that be an embarrassing situation?

Similarly unhappy and a little apprehensive, Pan Menglan took advantage of the gap between the two sessions to find Gao Zhiyi and repeatedly explain what she had just said about Zheng Yong. 'It's okay, it's not your responsibility,'

Entertainment Headlines is indeed a high-rated program in China, and it was originally decided that they would be given the opportunity to ask questions. It was just that they didn't expect this reporter to be so greedy. As for such a guy who eats people's rice without doing anything, of course Jiasheng will put them on the blacklist later.

At the second press conference, Liu Tianwang brought the BMG stars with him to answer questions. He also said, 'There was no such arrangement before, but the founder of Jiasheng and I are old friends. I definitely had to agree to his request. Besides, our appearance fee this time was also a friend price.'

Beautiful women always get the best deals at any event. This time, the beautiful Xu Ruoxuan was also given a question. Little stars seemed to twinkle in her eyes as she said without hesitation, 'The chairman of Jiasheng is a very talented person.'

When she said this, Lin Xi and Fang Wenshan felt inexplicably heartbroken. Feng Yiping, who was standing quietly in the back row, heard her public praise and secretly apologised to the two of them sincerely in his heart!

Although she had previously filmed a trilogy and a very revealing photo album, she was also considered a talented woman in the industry. She was quite good at songwriting and composing, and since she had said that she was talented, it seemed that the chairman of Jiasheng was really quite capable.

A talented person who had a deep friendship with so many stars, so it seemed that this person should also be a big shot in the industry! How come they had never heard of him before? At this point, the entertainment reporters were very interested in this chairman of Jiasheng.

They immediately looked around, but found that their fellow reporters were also looking confused.

So everyone had the same question: how had this founder of Jiasheng managed to remain so low-key?

And of course, Zheng Yong didn't get the chance to ask a question this time.

He was also mentally prepared for the fact that although the question had just slandered Jiasheng, he was very satisfied with it. He decided to delay his return to the company and spend some time digging up more information about the chairman of Jiasheng.

There were many journalists who shared his thoughts, so during the third concert, the questions were not as enthusiastic as the previous two.

In fact, if it were an ordinary day, when a few domestic stars get together, even if they are all second-rate, the entertainment reporters would still be very interested. The point is that the previous two were too high-profile, and there was a lot of information in their words.

After eating a meal of innovative shark's fin, of course they would not be too interested in longkou fans.

When the press conference was over, the journalists were escorted out of the completely fenced-off peninsula. Some celebrities were already rehearsing on the stage over there.

When they came back in, it was time for the event to begin.
