Chapter 379 What's going on?
"What does it mean?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
Han Chen glanced at the press conference again, with a serious look on his face.
He said: "I just got the news that Chen Yu's agency also held a press conference tonight, saying that he wanted to invest 30 million to prepare for a martial arts TV series, and there will be subsequent investment."
“30 million?”
Wu Xiaotian was stunned and asked, "Didn't their company say that they have invested in you? Why do you have to shoot two martial arts dramas at the same time?"
"I called them just now, and they have already denied this matter!" Han Chen said with a wry smile.
"What, those who have signed the contract can still regret it." Wu Xiaotian asked in surprise.
Han Chen shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "This contract is just a rough contract and has not been signed in detail. However, since I refused Chen Yu to be the male lead that day, I have made such preparations. Even if they don't invest, I will have other funds to enter. I just didn't expect that they would announce the start of martial arts TV series on the same day."
He paused and continued: "I just called a familiar reporter and said that they had made sufficient preparations to prepare for tonight's press conference. They invited every news media stationed in Hengfeng Film and Television City, and they also picked up these reporters to the press conference site tonight."
"You see, the reporters who are coming now are either from small newspapers and have not been invited; or from large newspapers, they have sufficient staff to go to two different press conferences."
Han Chen pointed to the few journalists not far away and said helplessly.
This is the first time he has encountered this situation in so many years as a director.
Before, when he started filming new dramas and doing press conferences, he just called various news media to tell them the specific time and location of the press conference. Then those news media that were notified would send people to attend.
Like tonight, these reporters were taken first and picked up with this high-standard treatment. This is the first time.
He just called a familiar newspaper and asked if he could ask one or two people to come and attend the event, and even pay them a certain amount of compensation. Unexpectedly, he was flatly rejected, saying that the star lineup over there was stronger and the news was more reportable.
If there were enough news and enough celebrities here, they would come here.
Other news media also refused for various reasons.
"They said that if there are enough stars here, they will come?" Wu Xiaotian asked with his eyes narrowed.
"It should be." Han Chen slapped his head, thought for a while and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll call to invite a celebrity artist I know and ask if they are in the film and television city. If they are there, let them come and support them."
Wu Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "I'll think of a solution, too."
"Yeah, thank you!" Han Chen said casually.
However, he didn't care much about what Wu Xiaotian said. He knew that Wu Xiaotian's connections were all in Anyuan Provincial TV and the literary circle, and he was still a little unfamiliar with the film and television circle.
Wu Xiaotian smiled slightly, began to pick up his cell phone, and dialed his phone number.
On the other side of Hengfeng Film and Television City, the conference room of a five-star hotel has now been transformed into a temporary press conference site.
The atmosphere at the scene was quite warm, with dozens of news media, and their long guns and short cannons filled the front desk of the press conference.
Chen Yu stood in front of the reporter with a happy expression and talked a lot about this TV series.
"Thank you very much for your interview with friends. I am very confident in this role. I believe I will definitely be able to act in this drama well."
A reporter asked: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you were planning to star in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" directed by Han Chen, but now it has been changed to this drama. What do you think?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Well, yes, there was this rumor on the Internet before. But it was just a rumor. I didn't get any news. And I believe this will definitely be more popular than Director Han's drama. If you don't believe it, you will know if you look at who has more news in the newspaper tomorrow."
Another reporter asked: "Is there any conflict between you? I heard that Director Han and the original author of the novel are not satisfied with your acting skills."
Chen Yu said with a smile: "Haha, this reporter is joking, acting skills? When the filming of this drama will you know which of Qiao Yi is better in acting skills."
At this time, a fashionable middle-aged woman appeared on the right and waved to him.
Chen Yu nodded and said apologetically to the reporters: "Sorry, I have something to do here, we will talk about it later."
After saying that, with the help of several staff members, he left the reporter group and followed the middle-aged woman to the backstage.
"Sister He." Chen Yu shouted affectionately.
The middle-aged woman in front of him is his agent and He Qin, the vice president of his agency.
After He Qin and Han Chen failed to communicate last time, they began to prepare for what they are today. All they want is to suppress Han Chen's new drama so that he would not get any exposure in the early stage. In addition, she also has a complete set of sniping strategies for the subsequent TV series releases.
"The company has invested a lot in you this time. This drama is tailor-made for you. Don't let the company down." He Qin looked at Chen Yu and said seriously.
She is Chen Yu's agent and knows what his acting skills are. If it is an urban idol drama, it would be okay to let Chen Yu look handsome in it, but if he really wants to compete for his acting skills, he is still far from it.
"Well, I know, thank you Sister He for your cultivation. I will work hard." Chen Yu nodded and said.
"Well, just know!" He Qin looked at the press conference with satisfaction, nodded and said, "This time more than 90% of the news media in the film and television city asked us to invite us, Han Chen and the others were waiting to be refrigerated."
"Haha, Sister He is still very good, so I'm sure he's going to do it!" Chen Yu hurriedly flattered.
At this moment, at the press conference, the other end where the reporters gathered suddenly started to make a fuss.
"What did you say? Ling Tong went there? Huang He went there too?"
"Wait, I heard it right! Dozens? You're sure!"
"Okay, OK, I understand, I'll go there right away!"
"Okay, you can take more photos first, I will dare to go there now!"
"Remember, don't miss a single shot, you need it all!"
A group of reporters received the phone calls one after another, and then carried their spears and cannons and ran out the door.
"What's going on?" He Qin asked in surprise when she saw the reporters' actions.
Chen Yu was also shocked when he looked at these reporters running wildly and said, "I don't know!" (To be continued.)
