Chapter 458 The building is about to collapse, the last straw that breaks the camel's back

"Master Chen, Master Chen..." Liu Shijie hurriedly caught up, trying to stop Chen Wenhan.

If you shame yourself in front of so many reporters, within half a day, the Internet will be full of negative news.

Liu Shijie wanted to save the situation and reached out to pull Chen Wenhan's arm.

Chen Wenhan turned around and glared at him: "Let go!"

"Mr. Chen, reporters are always like this. You can't lose your composure in front of them. Control your emotions." Liu Shijie grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down.

At this moment.

The agitated news reporter in the audience continued to ask loudly: "Mr. Chen, there is news that it is difficult to recover the cost of "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent", and you signed a gambling agreement with the investors.

"This gambling agreement resulted in you owing nearly 100 million. Is this true?"

Chen Wenhan glared at the reporter and replied: "Does 100 million count as money to me?!"

Agitated News Reporter: "So, do you really owe so much money? So you, who never participate in road shows, are forced to go out to promote road shows, is that right? Don't you think that an internationally renowned violinist is dressed strangely?

Weird costume for playing violin, is it cheap?"

Chen Wenhan has been playing the violin since he was a child. Although he doesn't really love the violin, he likes honors. Since he was a child, all his honors have been obtained by playing the violin.

Now, this honor has been taken out by reporters and ruthlessly trampled on.

He broke his guard again, threw away Liu Shijie's hand, and cursed: "Do you understand music? Are you qualified to evaluate violins? If you don't understand, just shut up!"

After scolding him, he left the scene angrily.

…

The fans in the audience were a little confused.

The persona Chen Wenhan has always created is that of the "Violin Prince", and he is also an "internationally renowned" "Violin Prince".

When he showed off his violin on the show, he displayed an elegant and noble temperament.

His fans really like this.

However, now Chen Wenhan breaks his guard and gets angry, which is very different from the character he created before.

Fans were very confused.

However, among this group of fans, there is one person with bright eyes.

Cao Yunlei was originally not interested in today's activities, but he didn't expect that he would be able to eat melon on site until he was full.

He was already overjoyed: This road show is so exciting, the undercover fan base is so exciting, this is much more exciting than the TV series.

…

After Chen Wenhan left the scene angrily, Liu Shijie could only bite the bullet and maintain the live activities:

"Dear friends from the media, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen is not feeling well and needs to leave temporarily to rest.

"Today's event is to promote "A Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent". This drama is the work of Hanlin Media. When friends from the media ask questions, try to focus on this drama."

When the reporter saw Chen Wenhan breaking the guard and leaving, he looked at Liu Shijie and felt that one of them had been caught, so he continued to ask:

"Mr. Liu Shijie, when you were at Huahuo Media, you insisted that Wang Kai give up "Nirvana in Fire" and star in "Furong".

"Now that I see that "Nirvana in Fire" has soared in ratings and "Furong" has been abandoned by the TV station, how do you feel?"

When Liu Shijie heard this question, he felt a little nervous, but he was not a pampered nobleman since he was a child. He had encountered worse problems than this, so he still remained calm and answered:

"I participated in the entire filming of "Furong". As the plot unfolds, it will become more and more exciting.

"Don't be misled by the malicious negative reviews from the trolls. Please believe me, this drama will not disappoint the audience."

This answer did not directly answer the reporter's question, but rather made a sideways comment.

How could the reporter who stirred up the news let him go so easily and continued to ask:

"Mr. Liu Shijie, have you ever thought about what it would be like if you let Wang Kai participate in "Nirvana in Fire" when you were at Huahuo Media?

"Huahuo Media will not be acquired, you will not be kicked out of Huahuo, and you will not lose 100 million on your first project after joining the new company.

"What was your purpose in the first place when you would rather go against Wang Kai's wishes and force him to star in "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent"?"

Liu Shijie clenched his fists involuntarily.

He was also a bit off guard, because he really thought about what the reporter said.

At the beginning, Huahuo Media was developing very well. Although there was only one artist making money, it grew to a valuation of 50 million in two years, which was already a remarkable achievement.

What if he originally chose to let Wang Kai take over "Langya Bang"?

So now he is still the artist director of Huahuo Media, and he still has the final say in Huahuo Media.

All the popularity that "Nirvana in Fire" enjoys now is related to him and can bring him benefits.

It's just that there are no ifs in this world.

He actually had an answer to the reporter's question.

Why did he insist on Wang Kai taking on "Spring Night in a Lotus Tent"?

In fact, he doesn't necessarily want the drama "Furong". What he wants is a drama that can accept his investment.

To be precise, he does not reject "Langya Bang".

If he could choose randomly, he would choose "Nirvana in Fire".

The problem is, Ark Culture does not accept his investment.

When we first negotiated about Wang Kai's film contract, his request was to use Wang Kai's 10 million film salary and add 10 million funds to invest in "Langya Bang".

What he wants is to use a small amount to make a big difference, and use 10 million yuan to leverage 5 times the profit.

If this investment is negotiated, he can even try to launch an MBO, acquire Huahuo Media, and become the major shareholder of Huahuo Media.

Unfortunately, Ark Culture did not agree to this plan.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and choose "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent".

Moreover, it was the crew of "Furong" who approached him at that time, saying that Chen Wenhan named Wang Kai to play the second male lead in "Furong".

In terms of negotiation skills, whoever takes the initiative to show kindness will be manipulated.

As a result, he did increase Wang Kai's salary from 10 million to 12 million, earning an extra 2 million.

Moreover, Chen Wenhan also agreed to his investment plan.

One side is an ordinary film contract, and the other side is an investment contract.

The former can only earn 10 million, but he still earns it for Huahuo Media, while the latter can make him an investor.

Anyone can tell the difference between the two.

Therefore, Liu Shijie insisted on choosing "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent".

However, the ending was something he didn't expect.

Huahuo Media was actually acquired, and he was kicked out.

Looking back now, I think that even if Huahuo Media had not been acquired, he had successfully forced Wang Kai to take over "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent".

The outcome can only be that the investment fails, Huahuo Media loses money, and it continues to pressure Wang Kai to take jobs and make money.

…

Liu Shijie did not admit that the filming of "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" was bad, but he knew very well in his heart that this drama was so bad that it was hopeless.

But in order to recover the cost as much as possible, he can only be tough and continue to promote the show.

Reporters pressed him repeatedly and found out that Liu Shijie had long been used to it. Even though he felt a little defensive in his heart, he didn't show it on his face and continued to talk about him.

After finishing all the words to promote "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent", he stood up and announced:

"That's it for today's activities. Thank you to all media friends for attending. Please thank you for promoting the positive news of "Furong". Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands, held the microphone, and bowed to the reporters at the scene with a very humble attitude.

…

After the event, the reporter rushed back to write the article.

At four o'clock in the afternoon that day, relevant entertainment news began to appear on the Internet.

As soon as these entertainment news came out, they rushed to the hot search list at a terrifying speed.

The headlines of the news are more eye-catching than the last:

[Break the defense at the scene, throw the microphone and leave! Why was the former violin prince so irritable? 】

[Playing the violin in ancient costumes, is it a musical innovation? Or is it a gimmick?]

[Hanlin Media’s bet failed, and the former Kuo Shao was deeply in debt, so he had no choice but to perform road shows to make money.]
