From villain specialist to all-around superstar

Chapter 173: Being challenged at the press conference, Ye Chen fought back sharply

The reason why Ye Chen's traffic is so high is not because he has mastered the traffic password, but because netizens pay a lot of attention to him.

Basically, as long as you master his topic, you can easily use it to earn traffic.

Even though Ye Chen was deeply involved in public opinion turmoil, and there was a lot of scolding, slander and slander against him on the Internet, Ye Chen's popularity did not decrease but increased.

On the contrary, Ye Chen became darker and more angry.

For example, on Ye Chen's Weibo, three months ago, when he retweeted the transformation comedy movie, his number of followers dropped by 2000 million.

However, after Ye Chen won the actor title, the number of Ye Chen's fans has not decreased but increased, and now his fans have reached 3000 million.

Although Ye Chen's popularity value is often consumed through draws, it has always been around 1 million.

so.

It's not that Ye Chen has lost popularity after his transformation, it's just that everyone doesn't think Ye Chen's transformation will be successful.

It is even said that if Ye Chen's fans want to fall like an avalanche, unless Ye Chen's transformation fails.

Because, at least until the results of "Charlotte Trouble" come out, Ye Chen's popularity will only increase rather than decrease.

But if Ye Chen rushes to the street, those sunspots who are ready to move will come out immediately.

This storm of public opinion may even bring Ye Chen back to before liberation.

For Ye Chen, this is a big gamble.

Once he loses, Ye Chen will need to make greater efforts if he wants to make a comeback.

For the next two days, Ye Chen has been planning his second movie as a director.

Ye Chen used his popularity points to redeem a script in the system mall. This script was "Wolf Warrior 2".

Of course, there is no "Wolf Warrior 1" in this world, so Ye Chen directly called this script "Wolf Warrior".

This film will be Ye Chen's first big-budget film.

Unlike the previous film "Charlotte", this movie is a big production.

Two days later, Ye Chen held a press conference for "Charlotte Troubles" in a five-star hotel in Kyoto.

The day.

Ye Chen, deputy director Yan Fei, actors Ma Li, Ai Lun, Yin Zheng, etc. all attended in costumes.

At the press conference, Ye Chen became the scene of the entire press conference.

"Teacher Ye, do you think this movie can create a box office miracle?"

"Director Ye, an assistant director who left your crew said that you can't even turn on the machine, and that you are very domineering in the crew. Is this rumor true?"

"Director Ye, you have predicted the box office of your previous movies. How do you think the box office of this movie will be?"

"Teacher Ye, are you filming comedies that you are not good at to make money as said online?"

"Mr. Ye..."

As soon as the press conference began, reporters asked sharp questions one after another.

Seeing this scene, everyone attending the press conference was very nervous.

Yan Fei and others also looked solemn. They all knew that Ye Chen's wrong words could trigger a storm of public opinion.

So everyone is very nervous.

Everyone in the crew was sweating for Ye Chen.

When everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chen, everyone was stunned.

Facing the reporter's sharp questions, Ye Chen's expression was very calm.

Everyone couldn't help but admire that Ye Chen really had a big heart.

Ye Chen looked very calm, with a smile on his face, without any signs of nervousness or anxiety.

He pressed his hands with a smile, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Journalists are eager to know the answers to these questions.

But after all, this is a press conference, so you still have to give me the face you deserve.

And they knew very well that in order to get first-hand news, Ye Chen had to answer the questions they raised.

Otherwise, the scene will be chaotic and chaotic, and it will indeed seem too informal.

Therefore, after Ye Chen comforted him, the venue immediately became quiet.

Ye Chen smiled and said to everyone: "It seems that everyone has great prejudices against our movie, but I can understand everyone's thoughts."

"But since I filmed it and held on until it was released, I have enough confidence that it will be successful."

"Just now everyone raised a lot of questions, but after all, our time is limited, such an old rule, I still give you ten opportunities to ask questions, that's okay."

Ten questions are quite a lot for a press conference, and Ye Chen also showed enough sincerity.

The reporters hesitated a little, then all nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's raise our hands to ask questions. I believe that you are all in the media and know each other very well, so everyone should be clear about this. Without further ado, let's get started."

After the words fell, the reporters raised their hands one after another.

Ye Chen glanced at the reporter, pointed to a reporter wearing glasses in the front row and said, "This beauty, you can ask the first question."

The person named by Ye Chen was a young girl with long hair and glasses. She seemed to have just entered the industry.

The girl was also very excited when she was called by Ye Chen. Then she organized her words and said excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Ye, I am a reporter from Entertainment Weekly."

"I would like to ask you to complete this film in just over two months, including post-production, it only took three months. In such a short period of time, can you guarantee the quality of the film?"

This issue has been questioned by many outsiders, so the reporters looked at Ye Chen one after another.

Ye Chen smiled and answered without any hesitation: "The question you asked is also questioned by many netizens on the Internet. In fact, I really don't know how to answer this question."

After hearing Ye Chen's words, there was an uproar at the scene.

Including Yan Fei and others, their expressions suddenly became ugly.

Something is going to happen with the first question.

You are the director, don’t you know?Isn't this a joke?
Facing the discussion below, Ye Chen's expression was very indifferent.

He paused and continued: "So, I can only answer your question in another way, and that is the few movies I have participated in before."

"The "Rescue Mr. My" co-operation with Director Ding started from the entry into the group, and we finished filming in two months."

"My second film, Big Shot, also took two months."

"Then "One Man's Martial Arts", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "The King of Guns", and "The Murderer" all took about two months."

"The only film "Hero" that took a long time to shoot was because many of the plots were in the desert, and my part was shot in only two days."

Ye Chen's voice fell, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

That's right, although Ye Chen did not directly answer the reporter's question.

But he gave examples of several previous films.

And this answer is more convincing than any excuse.

Since my other movies can be shot in more than two months, why not this movie.

Also, was the quality of the movie I shot in more than two months poor?

So, Ye Chen's answer immediately blocked everyone's mouths.

He even refuted the remarks of those black men.

The movies I shot in two months before were all hits, but "Charlotte", which was shot in more than two months, was shoddy. What theory is this?
Anyone who thinks like this has no brains.

Obviously, Ye Chen's answer also deeply touched these reporters.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

The reporter who asked the question also blushed and said awkwardly: "Okay, thank you Mr. Ye for answering the question."

Ye Chen nodded, with a smile on his face all the time, and his gentle demeanor made everyone present feel very comfortable.

Then Ye Chen smiled and said, "Okay, here's the second question."

The reporters raised their hands again.

This time, Ye Chen chose a middle-aged reporter in his forties.

The reporter did not identify himself, but said directly: "Teacher Ye, many people in the industry are not optimistic about this comedy movie you invested in. What do you think of this matter?"

After hearing this, Ye Chen had a surprised expression on his face: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?"

Then Ye Chen continued: "Before answering this question, I would like to ask the reporter, who is it in the industry, or who is not optimistic about my movie?"

The reporters at the scene were once again shocked by Ye Chen's rhetorical question.

They never thought that Ye Chen would answer like that.

First he said he didn't know, and then he said he didn't know who was attacking him.

Isn't this matter already making waves on the Internet?
Don't you know?Isn’t this self-deception?
Suddenly, everyone suddenly understood the meaning of Ye Chen's words.

It turned out that Ye Chen didn't take the people who questioned him seriously at all.

Fuck, this news is a bit explosive.

The middle-aged reporter who asked the question also blushed at Ye Chen's question.

However, this is also an old reporter and very experienced.

He calmed down and asked again: "Mr. Ye, there have been many reports on this matter on the Internet. I don't believe you don't know."

After the middle-aged reporter asked the question, his eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

The other media reporters were also worried about this reporter.

Now there is a bit of tit-for-tat between Ye Chen and this reporter.

Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was not angry about the reporter's question, but said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what this reporter is trying to express? I don't even know what the Internet said to me."

"I have been very busy during this period. I have been filming movies and then post-production for movies and TV shows, so my time is very tight."

"Although I have heard that some people on the Internet say that our movie is shoddy, everyone on our crew knows that this movie was shot with our heart, and everyone put in hard work and sweat... …”

Ye Chen did not confront reporters tit for tat, but took advantage of this opportunity to promote his movie.

Let everyone know that this movie is not shoddy and everyone on the crew worked hard.

After all, the purpose of a press conference is to promote a movie.

You can't face reporters and just show off.

Therefore, no matter what question the reporter asked, Ye Chen had only one theme, which was to promote his movie.

However, Ye Chen's answer was not too blunt. After a round of publicity for the movie, he turned to the topic that the reporter wanted.

"So, I really don't know what your so-called professionals say about our movie."

"But since you said that some people doubt me, you don't have to think about the reasons. If I want to criticize myself, it must be for these reasons. They are not optimistic about my transition to comedy. Or maybe I am too young, it is my first time to be a director, and the shooting cycle is short. Several reasons…”

After hearing Ye Chen's words, the audience roared with laughter.

Although they were not sure whether Ye Chen really didn't know the comments about him online.

But Ye Chen's witty and humorous language still made everyone laugh.

When Ye Chen finished laughing, his expression suddenly became serious.

"So I'm sorry, but I still don't know how to answer that question."

"I would like to know, as an actor, is there a clear rule that villain actors can only play villains and not dramas?"

"Or is it that the people who criticize me have traveled from the future and have seen my failures?"

"My movie hasn't even been released yet, and I haven't even watched the movie, so they can predict that my movie will definitely fail? Can they predict that my movie is shoddy?"

"If they can't do something, they will think that others can't do it. If I did it, it doesn't matter if they don't recognize it themselves. They also led a group of netizens who don't know the truth to lead the way, smear me and slander me. They are so Is the calculation done with ulterior motives?"

The audience was silent again.

But at this time, Ye Chen broke out.

The original gentle and elegant temperament disappeared in an instant, replaced by the aura of a martial arts master and the murderous aura of a villain's acting skills.

At this moment, Ye Chen became extremely domineering.

Ye Chen said solemnly: "If every filmmaker thinks that what they can't do, others can't do it either. If this argument becomes mainstream, I think it will be very scary."

"I don't know who is questioning me, but I would like to ask, is this director the ceiling of the industry? Is the film he made the number one box office in the world?"

"Or, can he represent the views of the industry and the aesthetics of all movie fans?"

"And even if he really has such ability, he has never seen any of my movies. How does he know that my movies will hit the streets? How does he know that my movies are garbage?"

"If the other party has watched my movie and makes any criticisms and suggestions about my movie, I can accept it. But to evaluate a movie without even watching it is disrespectful to movies and art. Responsible, I would like to ask those so-called industry insiders, are they talking nonsense and relying on fantasy to comment on other people's movies? Is this their attitude towards movies and art?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

The reporters in the audience, Director Yan Fei, and everyone were all affected by Ye Chen's words.

The middle-aged reporter who asked the question had a gloomy expression.

He was shocked by the martial arts master Ye Chen and the murderous aura on his body. He even felt like he was trembling all over and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
