Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Zhang Jiayu thought to herself, "This bastard, how does he know everything?"

This involves using pauses to create psychological tension, prompting the group to self-discipline in order to restore order. This is a common strategy in public speaking and group dynamics.

One of the techniques for slaying dragons.

After that, very few people asked Wang Fei any questions anymore, and fewer people raised their hands.

After all, there wasn't much to say about that matter. After answering six or seven questions, Yang Che called on Zhang Jiayu, who had finally raised her hand.

Zhang Jiayu, true to her reputation as a film reporter, immediately asked: "Congratulations to 'My Sassy Girl' for topping the global box office for mainland China with $3500 million. Can you reveal any plans for your new film?"

People gradually came to their senses and exclaimed, "Holy crap, yeah, this guy's a filmmaker!"

"Thank you, I really didn't notice that. There is a new film. I am the producer and executive producer. The movie is called 'Waiting Alone,' and it was written and directed by Wu Shixian, the assistant director of 'My Sassy Girl.' We invested in this movie."

"How much profit did you get from 'My Sassy Girl'? You're already investing? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"The 3 million in GG revenue is my personal income, and I also have about 2.8 million in dividends, which I will most likely invest in. As long as the movie is well made, I can live off my wife. By the way, this money hasn't arrived yet, so if you still want to report me for tax evasion, please wait a little longer. It should be around the end of March."

The reporters burst into laughter.

Wang Fei, who was backstage, was laughing so hard she was almost choking.

At this moment, Yang Che bowed.

"Thank you everyone. This press conference is now over. I know you're all rushing to finish your reports, so I won't keep you any longer."

"No!"

Where is Wang Fei?

"Yeah, you can't just say it without knowing the facts."

"......"

The reporters stopped shouting because as Yang Che stepped off the stage, they saw Wang Fei covering her mouth and laughing, and then they held hands! Holy crap! Wang Fei punched him! Holy crap! This is flirting!

"Hurry, hurry!"

Without the reporter needing to tell them anything, the cameramen and photographers were already snapping photos so fast they were blurry.

The press conference was a great success.

For a time, few people discussed whether Yang Che was a rapist; instead, they discussed his relationship with Wang Fei, whether the two were a good match, and their age difference.

People in the industry, especially those who knew Wang Fei, mostly sent their blessings.

Mao Amin: "Really? I think so. Tsk, they're so young, that's great. Hehe, best wishes to them."

Zhang the Bearded: "What a perfect match! I'll be flying to Beijing soon to have dinner with them."

Leslie Cheung: "I saw the photos, they're great, very sweet. I also called to send my blessings."

Chan Ka-ying: "I've always said they're a perfect match. They complement each other in both life and career. Don't let Ah Che's young age fool you; he's really good at taking care of people."

Ueyama Shina: "Finally, I can tell you. Yang Che's confession was so romantic! He said Wang Fei was his goddess, and he even sang a song, a really, really good song, of course, an original one... How could I tell you the lyrics?"

Anita Mui: "I hope they are happy, and I hope Yang Che will not let Ah Fei down. Ah Fei is very innocent."

Of course, there were also those who spoke frankly, such as La Ying: "Yang Che is too young, I don't think it's appropriate, and I'm worried that Wang Fei will get hurt. Hey, please don't report this out."

"......."

Those who don't know Wang Fei but do know Yang Che, especially the girls at the Beijing Film Academy, have been privately calling Yang Che an unparalleled scumbag. But who knows what they really think?

Zhang Qin and Jin Qiaoqiao, who had previously believed without a doubt, still believed without a doubt. Of course, they did not believe that Yang Che raped them, but rather that he drugged and raped them.

First, they seduce her, then they commit adultery; this is known as date rape.

As for Liu Xiaoli, she had already returned to New York. She was in a terrible mood the whole way. It wasn't until three days after the press conference that she learned the whole story. She breathed a sigh of relief and her mood improved.

"He really likes older women..."

...........

Of course, it wasn't all gossip; there was also discussion about how he, as a cultural figure, openly used foul language, which was considered undignified.

Some newspaper commentaries criticized him not only for using foul language but also for his malicious intent, accusing official media of "losing credibility."

Of course, this newspaper was then posted online and subjected to a barrage of criticism, especially by those with sharp tongues on Tianya.

The vast majority of media outlets sympathized with Yang Che, especially since he had already issued a letter of understanding, yet the other party still published baseless accusations in the newspapers without any review, and seemed quite pleased with themselves for attacking their peers.

The public, especially the people of Beijing and Longcheng, felt that Yang Che was right to criticize him. The more people believed that Yang Che was a rapist, the more they felt that Yang Che was right to criticize him. They even loudly cursed the Beijing News, as if the louder they cursed, the more they could cover up their previous "accurate judgment".

In the past few days, many people have come to Yang Che's house to "offer their condolences," especially when Wang Weiqing is not around. They tacitly avoided mentioning the "couple's photos" that are no longer visible in the house, instead focusing on how good Yang Che's character is, how great it is that he's dating Wang Fei, it's not like they're getting married, blah blah blah...

After this incident, Yang Yuanchao seemed to have "grown up" a bit. He wasn't as good-tempered as before, and he started speaking in a sarcastic tone.

So gradually, rumors started circulating in the neighborhood and at the company that "Yang Yuanchao has risen to prominence now thanks to his wife and son, and he looks down on his old colleagues."

Yang Yuanchao didn't care that much anymore. He took the initiative to transfer to the archives at his workplace and lived a leisurely life. He would go there to show up when there was something to do, and wander around when there was nothing to do. Anyway, he could never spend all the pocket money his son and wife gave him.

.........

On the online front, before the press conference was even over, Tianya contacted Liu Chang and said that the original post had been deleted, but there was nothing they could do to stop people from discussing it.

Liu Chang generously stated: Yang Che had no ill intentions towards Tianya, but the die was cast and he had no choice but to act, since you had all pinned it to the top.

Tianya feels very ashamed.

Then Liu Chang said: Yang Che can give up demanding compensation from you, as long as Tianya adds 360 Navigation Network to the first place in the friendly links, and we will also put Tianya at the first place in the BBS recommendation list.

Tianya smiled on the outside, but cursed inwardly, "This is your real purpose in suing us, isn't it?"

We were number one to begin with!!!

However, Tianya still put 360 Navigation first in its list of friend links, which was great.
