I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 236 This guy is fucking shameless!

evening.

As the sun sets, the sunset dyes half the sky red.

Outside the parking lot, countless media reporters still had their long lenses and microphones set up, staring intently at the building's exit like a pack of wolves.

Why aren't they out yet?

"They've been talking for three hours already!"

"Could the negotiations have really fallen apart?"

"Why isn't Zhou Yang up to business yet? Damn it, my legs are getting numb from waiting!"

"Grass!"

Old Wang, a reporter from Entertainment Weekly, glanced anxiously at his watch.

He smoked as he waited in the best spot, not wanting to miss any opportunity to photograph Zhou Yang...

The weather in May was gradually getting warmer, and sweat trickled down his forehead, which he wiped away slightly.

Just as he was about to light his fifth cigarette, the building's revolving door suddenly turned...

"He's out! It's Zhou Yang!"

"Zhou Yang!"

"..."

I don't know who suddenly shouted it first.

Immediately afterwards, countless flashes of light rushed towards Zhou Yang's direction.

In the shot, Zhou Yang is bathed in the sunset, walking out side by side with Kevin.

Both of them wore meaningful smiles, and then they shook hands solemnly and earnestly, as if they were saying something very intimately.

Seeing this, Lao Wang from Entertainment Weekly quickly threw away his cigarette butt and scrambled to push his way to the front with the photographer...

Just as they squeezed in about ten meters...

Old Wang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at Zhou Yang and Kevin's hands like a wild beast that had smelled blood!
moment!

"quick!"

"quick!"

Clap their hands!

"quick!"

"Quick, quick, take a picture of their hands! They're exchanging something!"

"It's a car key!"

"Yes, it's the car key!"

The media was instantly in an uproar!
They saw that after Zhou Yang shook hands with Kevin, they seemed to be exchanging something.

The moment the camera zoomed out and focused, everyone was stunned!

That is!

Car keys!
Zhou Yang received a string of car keys from Kevin, the head of Audi's China region. Looking at the color and shape of the keys, they were clearly Audi keys!

Zhou Yang solemnly and earnestly handed another similar key to Kevin. Under the camera's lens, it was clearly a model of the key for the Qinzhou G1 car!
Exchange keys?

Holy crap!

what does this mean?
Just then, everyone saw Zhou Yang and Kevin carefully put away their keys, and then briefly hug each other.

After the hug, they briefly waved goodbye, and Kevin walked into the Audi headquarters building with a smile.

Zhou Yang led his team towards the parking lot, but there were just too many media and users present. The countless flashes of light made it difficult for Zhou Yang to open his eyes. Reporters shoved and pushed microphones up the steps. Even though numerous security personnel were prepared, Zhou Yang was still pushed back several steps...

"Mr. Zhou! Please say a few words!"

"What agreement did you reach with Audi?"

"Was that key a custom-made one?"

"Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Yang seemed to have been "forced" into a corner by the media, and he gave a wry smile, even gesturing to calm himself down!
"Gentlemen..." He turned to look at Kevin's departing figure through the glass door, a helpless smile suddenly appearing on his face: "Since things have come to this..."

He shifted his body back!

Whether it was a coincidence or not, it just so happened that we were in the media spotlight of [Movie House] and [Quickbo].

Several reporters who were frantically pushing their way in seized the opportunity to shove a recording pen in front of Zhou Yang.

"Mr. Zhou Yang! You just exchanged car keys with Mr. Kevin. Does this mean that Audi has reached some kind of agreement with [Qinzhou G1]?"

"I'm sorry, the specifics of what was agreed upon are trade secrets and I can't disclose them, but... the only thing I can reveal is that tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, Mr. Kevin will personally lead a team to visit our Qinzhou Automobile production line."

He paused for half a second, then added slightly, "With their team of engine engineers, this will be a historic technological exchange for the Chinese automotive industry!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in chaos!
Is it a technology collaboration?

Will they introduce the EA113 engine?

"Is your new movie...?"

"..."

"Due to a confidentiality agreement, I'm sorry, I can't reveal too much. Excuse me, I need to take this call..."

Just as everyone was surprised, Zhou Yang's phone seemed to ring again. He looked at his phone and quickly waved his hand!
The security personnel who were already prepared instantly formed a human wall, desperately surrounding Zhou Yang and squeezing out a passage. Zhou Yang pushed his way through the human wall, making a phone call as he walked forward!

"Hey!"

"Hollywood movies?"

"The new movie... I might... like this, how about we go to the [Qinzhou G1] office to talk about the new movie?"

"Correct!"

"What? A new Hollywood movie with an investment of nearly 3 million? What? It's too noisy here, I can't quite hear you. What? What did you say? You're going to invite a Hollywood superstar to act in it? Which superstar...?"

"A racing movie?"

"Another racing movie?"

"Okay! I got it. I'll be waiting for you at the [Qinzhou Auto] office tomorrow! Hey..."

"..."

Zhou Yang's voice wasn't loud!
But surprisingly, it has a strong penetrating quality even in a noisy crowd!

The media outlets closest to the scene were instantly stunned, and then they all went wild!
what?
Hollywood movies?
Another Hollywood movie?
A 3 million investment?
Holy crap, a $3 million investment?

Is this fucking real?
Should we invite a Hollywood star? The sky gradually darkened in the evening.

The flash of the camera illuminated Zhou Yang's face, making it appear to flicker between light and shadow.

Countless media outlets, like bloodthirsty beasts baring their fangs, rushed madly toward Zhou Yang!

They watched Zhou Yang's retreating figure as he walked towards Qinzhou G1, holding his phone to his ear and rapidly moving his lips as if he were communicating.

Old Wang from Entertainment Weekly, with his sharp eyes, widened his gaze instantly, completely stunned!
"Damn it, this guy's phone isn't even lit! Is he making a call?"

"Damn it! Mr. Zhou, could you be any more fake?"

"Mr. Zhou, have you no shame?"

"Damn, this bastard is acting so convincingly!"

"Mr. Zhou, if you're going to pretend, at least do it properly! You're holding your phone upside down!"

"Mr. Zhou, you're an international superstar now, can't you have some shame when you're doing this kind of publicity stunt?! Mr. Zhou Yang! Was that 'phone call' to aliens?!"

Countless media outlets were stunned the moment they saw this scene. Then, while cursing, they were snapping photos more frequently than anyone else.

Amidst a chorus of curses, Zhou Yang paused, then glanced at his phone with feigned surprise: "Oh no, it's out of battery! Oh dear, I should have used the [Jinrui Phone]! The [Jinrui Phone] has a 30-day super long standby time, it's so much better than other phones!"

The media were utterly stunned by Zhou Yang's "clumsy" acting skills!
Fuck!
That bastard!
Not only are they shamelessly hyping things up, but they're also squeezing in ads wherever they can!
What the hell!

damn it!
Can't you have any shame?!
Don't let him go!

"Stop the car door!"

"He seems to have a movie script!"

"Yeah, yeah, a movie script! Holy crap, he's working on a new movie!"

"Quickly, film his script!"

"Take a picture quickly!"

"..."

Just then, five or six users who looked like "reporters" suddenly appeared out of nowhere and somehow broke through the security cordon, rushing towards Zhang Jingya and Zhou Yang who were getting into the car. Some of them even leaned half their bodies into the car window, and Zhang Jingya, who was in the passenger seat, shrank back in fright...

Immediately afterwards, these "reporters" seemed to have gone mad, suddenly becoming excited and shouting, and with what appeared to be extraordinary strength, they even managed to open Zhou Yang's car door halfway open!
This just happened to reveal one of Zhou Yang's "scripts". The reporters standing at a distance saw this scene and frantically tried to squeeze in, but this time the security guards seemed to be very strong and they couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard they tried!

They could only watch as the first reporters to rush in carried their cameras and started snapping away!
"and many more!"

"These reporters, are they from [Movie House]?"

"Fuck you, Zhou Yang, you bastard!"

"..."

The car door finally closed in the Audi headquarters parking lot!
In contrast to the noise outside, the house was completely silent.

Zhang Jingya looked at the script, torn into pieces, with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Zhou, isn't this shameless publicity stunt... a bit too low-class? Given your current status..."

After she finished speaking, she looked out the window.

More than thirty media outlets were outside the window, their flashes constantly going off outside their car.

Zhou Yang smiled at himself in the rearview mirror: "Remember when we put up posters in the restroom at the 'Superman 2' premiere last year?"

He turned his head and flashed his signature smile, completely unconcerned about his image, gazing into the distance: "What am I now? International director? International superstar? If these identities can't generate buzz, they're useless... Remember, to make money, looks are the least valuable thing!"

Zhang Jingya's expression was complicated, and then she looked at the other staff members in the car, whose expressions were equally complicated.

Zhou Yang laughed: "Quickly send the current data to [Movie Home] and [Quickbo] to grab first-hand traffic. In addition, especially for the Jinrui mobile phone ad slot, give me a full three seconds of close-up shot!"

"..."

..........................................

【Tianyu】

Xu Haibo stared at the computer screen, his eyes bloodshot.

What did he see?
He saw it on the trending search list for "Kuaibo"!
The hashtag #ZhouYangAirPhone# is followed by a deep red "Explosive" sign, and the number of views is skyrocketing at a rate of thousands per minute.

He tried to remain calm, but he couldn't resist the waves of anger that surged within him...

There's a video below the trending topics!
In the video, Zhou Yang stands in front of Audi's headquarters building, holding a black-screen phone to his ear and shouting exaggeratedly into thin air: "What? A new Hollywood movie with a 3 million investment? Invited Tom Cruise? Or something like Tom Kos?"

The acting was so terrible!

It was so bad that he wanted to slap that bastard hard!

"The phone screen isn't even lit! Does this bastard think the audience is blind?"

The secretary nervously handed over a tissue: "Mr. Xu, but the topic has already topped the trending searches. Moreover, on the internet, [Kuaibo] and [Movie Home] were the first to break the news. This guy is using his traffic to boost his website!"

Xu Haibo lowered his head and looked at the real-time trending topics on [Kuaibo].

@MovieGossipBro: [Video] Witness an epic, awkward performance! Zhou Yang staged an "air phone call" at Audi headquarters, claiming he would be making a $3 million Hollywood blockbuster. So here are the questions: 1. The phone wasn't even turned on. 2. Tom Cruise's agent just issued a statement saying there was no contact. 3. Even Jinrui mobile phone ads are this blatant! #ZhouYang'sUnscrupulousPublicity#
@EntertainmentDisciplinaryCommission: I suggest submitting this to the Guinness World Records for "Worst Marketing." But you have to admire this bastard's deep understanding of communication—now the whole internet is debating whether he's holding a Nokia or a Jinrui phone! #ZhouYangAirPhone#
……

Xu Haibo saw another video!
The video shows Zhou Yang arriving at [Xuan Shi Entertainment] company!
Then, a large group of "reporters" suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rushed into the crowd again.

Then, he started yelling like a madman: "Director Zhou! I heard they're going to modify an Audi A8 for a prop car in the new movie?"

"Trade secret." Zhou Yang feigned panic as he protected the blank script!
Yes, Xu Haibo was completely stunned!

Damn it, it was a blank script, blatantly laid out in front of them. They had absolutely no shame!

Then, in the video, that pretentious bastard pushed up his signature glasses: "But since you mentioned Audi..."

He suddenly turned to face the main camera: "We are indeed discussing special vehicle modification technology with German engineers. Of course, I really can't reveal too much. I can only tell you that Audi China will be visiting Qinzhou G1 tomorrow... At that time, Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the world-renowned F1 racing committee, will come over to personally discuss the script with me... Please stop filming. That's all I can reveal. Sorry, sorry! I need to rest!"

The video abruptly ended at that moment!

"Damn it!" Xu Haibo slammed his fist on the conference table!
His whole face turned green!

He had never seen such a shameless person in his entire life!
"Damn it, could this shill be any more blatant?" He pointed at the "reporter" in the screen: "Damn it! A typical case of being a whore and then pretending to be virtuous!"

Just then, the phone rang.

Xu Haibo answered the phone and saw that it was Chen Kai, the leading director of the company's fifth generation, calling.

He suppressed his emotions.

"The promotion for 'Extreme' needs to be slowed down a bit more!"

"Yes, I know the movie is about to be released and we need to promote it, but..."

"The media isn't listening to us anymore, Mr. Chen. Look at the internet now, investing more resources in it is useless! Let's wait until that bastard Zhou Yang's popularity dies down a bit before investing resources in publicity, okay?"

"Let me put it this way, Director Chen, news about celebrities cheating is useless now, unless it's a superstar, and unless you bring in a Hollywood star to help with the hype, this bastard's popularity just won't die down! Damn it, nobody knows whether this bastard's 'Hollywood movie' is real or fake... Everyone's talking about it like crazy!"

"..."
