[PS: I'm home. There are two chapters today. This is the last draft. I'll start tomorrow.]
After knowing that Zhang Fengyi was not coming, many reporters who had arrived at the venue in advance left directly. Even if many staff members on the scene tried to persuade them to stay, it was useless. When the whole crew arrived and saw that there were only four or five reporters at the scene, their expressions were quite awkward.
"Well, guests and reporters, let's warmly welcome the shining appearance of the production team of" Ultraman Tiga "!" The host was a host signed by Daqian Entertainment. His name was Sabenin, and he was still a high school student. It was said that he was trained to be a host.
This made many people in the industry dumbfounded. They had never heard of an agency training a host. However, they heard that this person named Sabenin was very amazing. He had already received a letter of acceptance from Capital University before the college entrance examination. That was awesome enough.
However, no matter how awesome Sabenin's hosting talent was, it could not make up for the fact that the number of reporters at the scene was bleak. Especially after sparse applause, the main creative team of the TV series, Yiyi, with as many as 16 people, sat on the stage. Facing only five reporters below the stage, the scene was quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, except for Cheng Daoming, the actors on the stage were all newcomers. Cheng Daoming's personality was not competitive, so he was very open-minded about this. Therefore, although it was very awkward at first, everyone's expressions soon calmed down. After some introductions, it was time for the reporters to ask questions.
Because there were only five reporters in total, there were only five questions in one round. Moreover, because the attitude of these reporters was very sloppy, they felt that this special TV series had no future at all, and there was no breaking point to speak of. The only breaking point was Zhang Fengyi, so their attitude was naturally very bad.
Right, if Zhang Fengyi did not come, it meant that he was also very pessimistic about this TV series, or that he had a big conflict with the crew. This might be something to write about.
While the reporters below the stage were thinking about how to describe Zhang Fengyi's melodramatic gossip, the crew on the stage was even more devastated. A press conference that was supposed to last more than two hours had only started for 10 minutes, and it was forced to stop because there were no reporters to ask any questions. How terrible was that?
"Should we announce the end in advance?" Sabenin looked at one of the people in charge of the crew. Just as the person in charge was about to end this terrible press conference, a figure suddenly rushed out from the backstage. Looking at the five pitiful reporters below the stage, he said with a smile, "It seems that I'm late. The reporters have all left!"
"Director Jia!" Seeing this person appear, the whole crew instantly stood up and exclaimed in unison. Then, they all gave up their seats so that our Boss Jia could sit in the center of the press conference.
Boss Jia wasn't modest at all. He sat down and looked at the reporters below the stage with a smile.
"Boss Jia?" The reporters were taken aback by this title at first, and then they began to wonder who this Boss Jia was.
When they were sent by the company for an interview, they knew very little about the TV series. They only knew that it was a special feature film. Some reporters didn't even know what a special feature film meant, so they came directly. They didn't even investigate the background of the TV series at all.
Now that they suddenly heard Boss Jia's name, the reporters instinctively realized that this Boss Jia was very likely to be the boss behind the scenes of this TV series. And now, among the business tycoons with the surname Jia, it seemed that there was only …
Thinking of this, the reporters hurriedly stared at this Boss Jia's face. The Boss Jia was a little scared. Then, he said with a smile, "Well, everyone, don't look at me like this. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jia Yapeng, the chairman of the Daqian Group!"
"What? It's really Jia Yapeng!" The five reporters present stood up in shock at the same time. If one were to ask who was the most famous in the financial industry in Hua Xia, it would definitely be Jia Yapeng.
Last year, there were many rumors that Boss Jia had become the richest man in Hua Xia. Especially at this year's Daqian annual meeting, the Daqian family's wealth was revealed to be more than 4 billion yuan. If you didn't count those guys who hid their wealth well, Boss Jia was deserving of the title of the richest man in Hua Xia.
Recently, the Daqian had released big news. They thoroughly investigated internal corruption, sent more than 400 people to prison in one breath, and fired more than 1,000 employees. This caused the media reporters in Hua Xia to be in a state of both happiness and pain for several months.
They were happy because they didn't have to look for news clues everywhere. They only had to report news about the Daqian for one or two days every day, and they would be able to report twice. What was painful was that they didn't know where to find so much fresh news about the Daqian.
Anyway, the whole country was paying attention to the Daqian, and none of the reporters present hadn't seen Boss Jia before.
Therefore, after Jia Yapeng personally admitted his identity, the only five reporters were extremely excited.
They didn't expect that the backer of "Ultraman Tiga" was the Daqian. Jia Yapeng, the chairman of the Daqian, would actually appear at the press conference of "Ultraman Tiga".
Boss Jia said with a smile, "Alright, since I'm here, get ready to ask your questions. However, I have to say that your questions are only allowed to be related to" Ultraman Tiga ". I won't answer any other questions!"
"Mr. Jia, there are rumors out there that you are already the richest man in Hua Xia. May I ask if you …"
"Stop, I said that I will only answer questions related to" Ultraman Tiga ". I won't answer any other questions!" Boss Jia said with a smile. The reporters could only shake their heads helplessly. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to get any extra benefits, so they would just have to ask about "Tiga" honestly.
Therefore, the reporters really did ask a lot of questions about "Ultraman Tiga", and Boss Jia patiently answered them one by one. Soon, the reporters who didn't know anything about special effects gradually understood them.
"May I ask, for a TV series that is completely funded by us Hua Xia, the Fusangpeople are going to be the male lead?" A reporter quickly asked a rather sharp question.
Moreover, this question was somewhat heart-wrenching!
"Because this is a TV series co-produced between China and Japan!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "Our Hua Xia took the female lead and most of the supporting roles. The male lead should be reserved for the Fusangpeople. Otherwise, the Fusangpeople will ask me why this is a superhero created by the Fusangpeople, and why the main actors are all Hua Xia people!"
"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter, but some of the reporters also noticed a new point.
"Mr. Jia, you just mentioned the term 'superhero'. We don't know much about this term. Can you explain it to us?" A reporter asked.
"??" Boss Jia was stunned at first. How could there be people who didn't even know the term 'superhero'?
Later, Boss Jia understood. This was not the time for Marvel yet, so not many people in China knew about the term 'superhero'.
Thinking of this, Boss Jia explained with a smile, "The so-called 'superhero' is a hero who has some superhuman strength, but at the same time is dedicated to maintaining the peace and justice of mankind!"
"For example, Fusang's Ultraman, the United States' Batman, and our country's Sun Wukong. They are all superheroes!"

After the press conference ended, the reporters who had returned prepared to go back and write their articles. Boss Jia didn't come to the Imperial Capital just to hold a press conference for 'Ultraman Tiga'. He also had two tasks.
The first was to meet his two sisters who were studying in the Imperial Capital. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.
The second was for Director Chen and Uncle Zhou to talk to Boss Jia at the same time.
Because Uncle Zhou's talk was scheduled for the next day, Boss Jia met with Director Chen first.
"Mr. Jia, you have to find a way to solve this problem. Not a single scene of 'Farewell My Concubine' can be deleted. It has to be shown in China in its entirety. Otherwise, I'd rather give up the domestic market!" Director Chen said angrily as soon as they met.
