Volume 1 Chapter 80 Propaganda (3)

  Shock swept through the entire hall like a mad tide!

  This time, they raised their cameras in their hands with a conditioned reflex while being astonished.

  The reporters, as if by prior agreement, almost all stood up and stared incredulously at Zhou Xingchi and Hong Huan who walked in.

  The flash almost lit up the hall like a sea of lightning!

  But they were stunned for less than ten seconds and immediately turned their heads back to the main stage.

  "Now the news center Zhou Xingchui, and fashionable tutor Hong Huang. Unexpectedly, they came together to the publicity scene of Kangxi Dynasty. This... this is a big deal!" A reporter exclaimed excitedly while frantically taking photos from different angles.

  In a continuous "crackling" sound, his voice was almost unheard by anyone.

  "It's interesting." A photographer who was focused on the main stage nudged the person next to him, "What do you think is going on with Chen Jialin? He hasn't reacted at all. Could it be pre-arranged? But they didn't invite any guests either."

  "How am I supposed to know." The person next to him didn't put down his camera at all. "You'll understand right away."

  Zhou Xingchi and Hong Huan, as if walking on a starry road, walked all the way to the front of the main stage. Hong Huan finally spoke up, "Director Chen, we're here."

  Everyone's eyes focused on Chen Jialin's face, unexpectedly, he just smiled and said "Please sit down."

  "Wow!" "So gentle?" "Isn't Chen Jialin known for having a bad temper?" "That depends on who she's dealing with. The other party is the comedy king and fashion mentor, after all. The Chinese entertainment industry has to weigh its options."

  Originally expecting a war of words, unexpectedly it was calm and peaceful, couldn't help but let the reporters all sigh in disappointment.

  But Chen Jialin's next sentence lifted everyone's spirits, and they became even more excited than before.

  "Everyone must be guessing why Director Zhou and Mrs. Hong came to the Kangxi promotion scene. In fact, it was Director Zhou who personally called yesterday to apply."

  "Ka ka ka!" The sentence was almost drowned out by the sound of dozens of camera shutters, and after finishing, all the reporters looked at Chen Jialin with bated breath, their pens nearly crushed in their hands.

  "As for why, let Director Zhou say a few words." Chen Jialin gestured slightly, and immediately a staff member handed over a microphone.

  Zhou Xingchi cleared his throat, stood up with a smile and looked at the eager eyes of the reporters. He smiled and said, "I'm very grateful that Director Chen agreed to this unreasonable request. To avoid delaying the promotion of Kangxi Dynasty, Ms. Hong and I specially chose to come over when it's almost ending."

  "Mr. Zhou, may I ask what brings you here?" a reporter finally couldn't help but speak up.

  "Because this film has an actor from my first movie. It's actually their debut work." Zhou Xingchi said, pushing his glasses up.

  Stillness, the crow and sparrow make no sound.

  The shutter sounds and discussion that were just like thunder have suddenly disappeared, even the police are staring at Zhou Xingchi with wide eyes.

  And the reporters were like being struck by lightning, stunned on the spot, and for a while, they couldn't digest the news they had just heard!

  "Me... I didn't hear that wrong, did I?!" A reporter's lips were trembling "Does the Kangxi drama team have important actors from Shaolin Soccer?!"

  "Director Zhou has never announced a cast before... now suddenly announces one actor?!"

  "Who? Who could it be?" "It must be a young batch!"

  And on the main stage, everyone was also stunned, even Chen Jialin was stunned.

  After several seconds, Gao Lan Chun asked in confusion, "Director Chen, do you know?"

  "I don't know! He told me yesterday that he hoped to come on site today. I didn't want to agree at first, the two of them have a really big temper, and it was also a last-minute decision. But his attitude was very good, and he said he would only come at the end, so I agreed."

  "You don't know either?" Liao Jing Sheng furrowed his brow "Who could it be?"

  Several veteran actors have made guesses, people of this era can be said to have seen Chow Sing Chi's movies, and for the Kangxi drama crew with Shaolin Soccer actors, they are also very curious.

  In the hall, the silence gradually changed, and the whispers seemed like the oppressive weather before a storm, slowly emerging.

  "Zhou Dao's film will definitely use newcomers." Yao Chang'an tapped his finger on the table, saying uncertainly "It won't be..."

  Several people's eyes turned to Lin Xiao at the end of the table, but they saw that his expression didn't change, as if he had nothing to do with it.

  "I think so too!" Chen Jialin immediately confirmed "He is the only one in our crew who can participate in Zhou Xingchi's film because of his age."

  "Is it really him?" "I think so." "Wow, this kid actually secretly took on such a big role."

  Every move on the main stage is now affecting more than 30 reporters, more than 20 photographers and videographers in the scene, even their eyes will not be let go.

  As they followed Chen Jialin's gaze and looked over, almost everyone's eyes fell on Lin Xiao.

  The discussion fell silent for a moment, but the next second, it burst out!

  "Lin Xiao?!" "Impossible?! He's still a newcomer!" "Isn't it? Then why are Chen Jialin and the others looking at him like that?"

  And familiar journalists have already begun discussing it, with fiery expressions in their eyes.

  This is super exclusive news! Hong Kong and Taiwan comedy king points at mainland, signs contract with new generation actors!

  Exclusive! First time! Headline! These words stimulate their hearts like the stock index on Wall Street, they can already hear their own heartbeat jumping irregularly, gripping their cameras and pens tightly, and even many people have a layer of sweat on their foreheads.

  "Could it be Lin Xiao?" A man in his early forties with a goatee, his eyes fixed on the main stage, slowly stood up involuntarily.

  "Absolutely! 100%! Why else would Hong Huan come over?" Next to her was also a woman approaching forty. The two of them had their eyes fixed in one direction, their ears didn't know who they were listening to, and their mouths were answering involuntarily.

  "My goodness! Don't block the way in front! I can't take a photo!" The big-bearded man was getting impatient, this is truly breaking news! Whoever blocks his shot will have to deal with him!

  But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. Because he had already stood up, but was still blocked!

  Da Hu Zi took a glance around and was immediately startled, 99% of the surrounding reporters had unconsciously stood up, with many even wanting to rush towards Zhou Xing Chi who was sitting in the front.

  "Quiet! Order, please! Order!" "Please note the impact!" "Ladies and gentlemen of the press, please remain calm!"

  At this point, the police finally intervened to stop the commotion of the reporters, and they were also a bit embarrassed because they had been stunned earlier.

  The reminder from these police officers finally made the journalists realize that the publicity of the Kangxi Dynasty has not ended yet!

  But many people have already prepared to surround Zhou Xingchi and that person's mind as soon as the announcement is made, now they just want to loudly scold, these big newspapers occupy a good position! Whether others can squeeze in or not is another matter!

  Finally, it quieted down again. The eyes of the reporters and police officers wandered uncertainly among Zhou Xingchi, Lin Xiao, and Chen Jialin, so quietly that only the sound of heartbeats seemed to remain.

  "Mr. Zhou, I'm also very interested. Who is that person?" Chen Jialin looked at the reporters who wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask for fear of offending him, thought for a moment and still spoke up, and he was indeed very interested.

  Zhou Xingchi smiled and handed the microphone to Hong Huang under everyone's gaze. "You say it."

  The reporters suddenly burst into a murmur, and their eyes all took a deep look at Lin Xiao, the photographer even adjusted the lens immediately.

  Hong Fan didn't pretend at all, took over the microphone and said "Everyone here is familiar with each other."

  I know we're familiar! No need to repeat that! Hurry up and tell us the result! Countless reporters are silently cursing. At this moment, every word feels like a year.

  Hong Huang seemed to pause intentionally for a few seconds before saying, "Ten days ago, a young man sent a set of five photos to my desk..."

  "Wow!" She had barely opened her mouth when the suppressed cheers of the reporters erupted like a volcano.

  The police were also stunned. Weren't all propaganda meetings usually quiet? What's going on with today's meeting?

  "It's really him! I knew it!" "It's actually Lin Xiao! Does Huaxia Entertainment have such a big move? Didn't they say that Yongle doesn't support them?" "Do you know what? After Mrs. Hua heard that the Black Carnival was done by Huaxia's artists, internal news said she has changed her mind!"

  While the reporters were stunned, the photographer did not forget his duty, and the flashbulbs exploded like bombs, almost blinding the people in the front rows.

  "Is this a journalist? I thought it was a terrorist attack!" said a policeman who came to maintain order for the first time, squinting his eyes.

  "Haha, newbie, huh? Come a few more times and you won't even blink when you see lightning." An older police officer said, "However, with continuous filming like this, Zhou Xingchi may not have acted in years, but his popularity remains undiminished."

  Like a tidal wave of heat, Hong Hui couldn't help but smile "It seems that everyone has already guessed. I once said on his homepage that maybe when he debuts and promotes, I'll come over and take a look at what kind of person he is. Now, I've seen him."

  His gaze turned to Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao also smiled at the microphone for the first time to make a self-directed speech.

  "Thank you, Sister Hong."

  Four short words, once again murdered countless films. The reporters present could already imagine how to write the headline for tomorrow.

  Dozens of pens moved in unison, recording with the frenzy on the journalists' faces and the gore in their hearts. They wrote furiously in their notebooks.

  "Fashion godmother Hong Huang mentions newcomer Lin Xiao, comedy king Zhou Xingchi personally reveals the first batch of Shaolin Soccer cast!"

  Fashion godmother and comedy king jointly attend Kangxi Dynasty press conference, Shaolin soccer's first male artist, one of the three mainland actors, name announced!

  "New artist new company, Huaxia was named by two heavyweight figures in the entertainment and fashion circles!"
