"This …"
Wu Jiawen's face froze, and he didn't know how to answer.
Li Kewu's face darkened, and he answered, "Mr. Wu's gratitude to Guangyin will never change, but Guangyin's platform can no longer provide more help to Mr. Wu. Only Tianhai can give Mr. Wu a better space for development. There is no problem with this. Next!"
"Mr. Wu, is this true?"
Liu Bing didn't get the answer she wanted, so she stared at Wu Jiawen and asked.
"Reporter friend, please follow the rules. If you continue to act like this, we can only ask you to leave the press conference."
Liu Zhangshun saw Li Kewu's ugly face, so he threatened him in a timely manner. Liu Bing could only sit down resentfully, but the corners of her mouth curved up in a sneer.
"I am Zhao Lin, a reporter from Star Entertainment. I would like to ask Mr. Wu Jiawen, as far as I know, you were supposed to play the male lead in Pan Yigang's' The Legend of the Sword and Fairy: The Heroic Couple ', but now you are here. It is rumored that you were driven out of the crew by Director Pan because you raised the price, and Guangyin was furious, so you went to Tianhai. Is this news true?"
Zhao Lin's question was even sharper. Wu Jiawen was restless, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
There was an uproar under the stage, and every reporter's eyes lit up. This was explosive news. They didn't expect that there was such a secret behind Wu Jiawen's job-hopping.
"Dear reporter, hearsay may not necessarily be true. As this involves some of Mr. Wu's privacy, Mr. Wu has the right to refuse to answer this question. I can answer it on his behalf. The person who spread this rumor is deliberately trying to discredit Mr. Wu. As everyone knows, Director Pan is a very capable and talented director, but at the same time, he is also famous for his fiery temper and character. Mr. Wu did indeed leave Director Pan's crew, but it wasn't because he raised the price. Instead, it was because the two of them had different viewpoints and philosophies during the filming process, which caused Mr. Wu to leave the crew, not because he was fired as the rumor said."
Li Kewu had long expected that people would use this question to make an issue of it. With a serious expression, he explained, "In addition, the news that Guangyin Entertainment planned to hide Mr. Wu is even more false. In fact, it was because Guangyin Entertainment felt that Mr. Wu was a little too impulsive, arguing with Director Pan over some different ideas. This was a disrespect to Director Pan, and they ordered Mr. Wu to apologize to Director Pan. Mr. Wu is an artist with his own understanding and pursuit of art. He felt that he did not do anything wrong, so he refused to apologize and had a little conflict with Guangyin Media."
There was an uproar at the scene, and the reporters' faces showed that they finally understood why Wu Jiawen suddenly jumped ship to Tianhai. It turned out that he had fallen out with Guangyin Media.
Zhao Lin looked at Li Kewu and inwardly cursed him for being a sly old fox. She hadn't expected that the problem of a needle hidden in silk floss would be so easily resolved by Li Kewu. He had even successfully guided the thoughts of most of the people present and vaguely pointed out the reason why Tianhai had managed to take Wu Jiawen into their fold.
This reason was obviously fake, but it was precisely because it was half true and half false that it was more credible.
"Alright, this lady, next!"
Li Kewu didn't give Zhao Lin a chance to continue and directly appointed the next reporter to ask a question. This was a reporter that Tianhai had arranged in advance to deal with such a sharp and incisive scene.
"Hello, Director Li, I am Niu Wenqiang, a reporter from Frontline of Fashion. I would like to ask, after Tianhai signed Mr. Wu Jiawen, what are their next steps? Will they promote him? "
Niu Wenqiang's questions were absolutely tendentious. They were prepared to resolve the conflict and ease the atmosphere.
"Since Tianhai has signed Mr. Wu, the company will naturally greatly tilt its resources to him. Packaging, media promotion, participation in interview programs and variety shows, and even filming of movies and TV series have been put on the agenda. Everyone knows that Mr. Wu Jiawen not only has an outstanding appearance, but he also has acting skills that are difficult for ordinary artists to achieve …"
Li Kewu began to speak with fervor and assurance, praising Wu Jiawen without restraint and at the same time announcing Tianhai's publicity plan for Wu Jiawen to buy time.
The reporters discussed animatedly and looked at Niu Wenqiang with dissatisfaction. What kind of bullsh * t question was this? There was nothing new and it was simply a waste of everyone's time.
But Li Kewu deliberately wanted to buy time, so no matter how dissatisfied the reporters were, they could only listen patiently.
The dozen or so reporters secretly exchanged glances. They knew that they couldn't continue like this. They had to go straight to the point and use thunderous methods.
"Alright, next."
Although Li Kewu really wanted to buy time until the end of the Q&A session, he had to consider the feelings of the reporters present. Seeing that there wasn't much time left, he felt that he should be able to handle it, so he chose to continue with the Q&A session.
"Hello, Mr. Wu Jiawen, I would like to ask, after you left the set of 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Heroic Couple', why didn't you stay in a hotel? Why did you appear at Jin Se Villa No. 6 in the middle of the night in your pajamas? What is the relationship between you and the lady named Zhang Manting who lives in Jin Se Villa No. 6? As far as I know, she is a married woman, and when you appeared in her villa, her husband happened to be not at home. A man and a woman were alone in a room together. Can you tell me what is the relationship between you and Ms. Zhang Manting? "
The reporter who was called was a man with a handlebar mustache. He stood up and didn't even introduce himself, but asked very quickly like a machine gun.
"I … I didn't, you … you are talking nonsense. Who are you … don't talk nonsense … I didn't … I didn't …"
The biggest secret in the bottom of his heart was mercilessly exposed. Wu Jiawen instantly lost his sense of propriety and shouted in panic.
"What? Wu Jiawen actually appeared in Jin Se Villa in his pajamas late at night? "
"A married woman? A man and a woman were alone in a room together late at night. I don't believe that there is nothing between them. What the f * ck, this news is explosive. "
"Jin Se Villa is a high-end villa area in Ninghai. Those who live there are either rich or noble."
"This is the big news. It is enough to make the headlines. Breaking news, we must break it. This is big news."
"I didn't expect that the wonderful thing was actually at the end. The signing ceremony is nothing compared to this news."
…
The reporters burst into an uproar. With their eyes shining, they discussed excitedly and excitedly.
What was an entertainment reporter? What was a paparazzi?
It was a reporter who specialized in breaking all kinds of news in the entertainment circle to attract the public's attention.
And what news about stars interested paparazzi the most? There was no doubt that it was the tidbits about stars.
Especially the tidbits about stars who were suspected of having an affair with a married woman, it would definitely attract everyone's attention and become the headlines.
Li Kewu was shocked all over. His eyes suddenly became as sharp as a sword. He stared at the reporter who broke the news and said angrily, "Which media are you from? This is baseless rumor and slander. This is a signing ceremony, not a place for you to make rumors and make trouble. Come on, cancel his interview qualification and drive him out. "
"Manager Li, I'm Hu Zongyi, a reporter from Crowd Review Magazine. Are you angry? I'm a reporter. I have the right and qualification to find out the truth. You said that what I asked was baseless rumor. Is it a rumor? The truth will never be buried. Since I dare to ask such a question at the press conference, I have sufficient evidence. "
Hu Zongyi, the mustache reporter, took out a stack of photos with a sneer and directly distributed them to the reporters next to him. He said eloquently, "As far as I know, Mr. Wu Jiawen appeared in Jin Se Villa late at night and met with the people of the two major entertainment companies, Meteorite and Tianhai respectively. After Manager Li personally appeared and had a secret talk with Mr. Wu Jiawen, he directly chose to sign the contract with Tianhai. I have reason to suspect that Tianhai used improper means to blackmail Mr. Wu Jiawen."
Wu Jiawen's face was ashen. He sat there with empty eyes and his mind was blank.
He knew that he was finished. Not only was his career over, but it was good enough that he could keep his life.
Zhang Manting's husband was not an ordinary person. If he knew that he had been cuckolded, he would never let him off.
The security guards rushed over aggressively and dragged Hu Zongyi out. Hu Zongyi struggled with all his might and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am a reporter, and I have the right to report the truth. Director Li is using Wu Jiawen's privacy to threaten him into joining Tianhai, and he's even trying to shut up the mouths of the world. This is a violation of our right to report the truth, and I will not submit!"
"Lu Junli, you destroy what you can't have. You're really ruthless."
Li Kewu trembled all over. His breathing was frighteningly heavy. His face flushed unhealthily and he sat down on a chair with a bitter expression. He looked as if he had aged decades in an instant. He sat on the rostrum in a daze with a dull look in his eyes, letting the countless flashes flash desperately.
He had painstakingly planned for so long, but in the end, it was all for naught. The evidence of Wu Jiawen's adultery with a married woman was supposed to be his trump card, but he never thought that it was also a double-edged sword. It hurt others and hurt himself.
When he saw the photos provided by Hu Zongyi, he subconsciously concluded that it was all Lu Junli's doing.
After all, Tianhai and Meteorite had almost fought over Wu Jiawen. If he hadn't used Wu Jiawen's relationship with Zhang Manting to blackmail Wu Jiawen into submission, Meteorite would have been the one holding the signing conference.
Only Meteorite's employees could provide the photos. Coupled with Lu Junli's cunning style of doing things, he was confident that Lu Junli wouldn't go so far.
But he had never thought that things would actually develop to this point. Lu Junli actually changed his usual style and really took things to the extreme, forcing him into a dead end.
The reporters were in a state of chaos. After taking photos from all angles to their heart's content, the two high-spirited parties who had signed the contract just now dispersed in a hubbub. They didn't even ask for the transportation fee.
They had to rush back to draft the draft as soon as possible. For such explosive news, the earlier they published it, the earlier they could increase the circulation.
In a private room on the third floor of a teahouse opposite the Kaigibbins Hotel, Wu Qiang stood expressionlessly like a door god. Kang Min stood in front of the window with her hands clasped behind her back, looking down at the reporters as they dispersed one after another. She sneered fiercely and whispered, "How dare you snatch from my hands? This is the consequence."
Hu Zongyi stood behind her respectfully with a humble and flattering smile on his face. He rubbed his hands together and bowed, saying, "CEO Kang, I've completely offended Tianhai, so I can't stay in Crowd Review Magazine anymore. I have a family waiting for me to take care of them. Look at what you've promised me …"
