Chapter 682 Post-match Interviews
Chapter 682 Post-match Interviews
Ever since Lu Wantang appeared on camera, Chang Yun has dealt with countless people who were attracted by her beauty and tried to get close to her.
Those people have all sorts of identities and their excuses are also varied.
In his eyes, Richard was no different from those people.
As a special assistant, Chang Yun's actions were somewhat overstepping his bounds.
But Lu Wantang didn't mind.
Because Chang Yun would "take an inch and then a mile," it was because she indulged him.
Besides, Chang Yun was just a little too protective of his own.
Not only her, but Lu Wanxing was also within his protection sphere.
Seeing that Lu Wantang did not respond, Chang Yun led her outside while earnestly saying:
"Don't be fooled by the fact that some people look respectable. You never know what they're thinking inside. It would be bad if they had bad intentions."
"If you like good-looking men, whether they have blond hair, black hair, blue eyes, or green eyes, I can find you a whole bunch. Once they sign contracts with the company and some kind of confidentiality agreement, you can do whatever you want with them—"
"cough."
Lu Wantang had no choice but to interrupt Chang Yun's increasingly explicit words.
"Brother Yun, I don't intend to break the law."
"What's illegal about just dating a few more people?"
Chang Yun waved his hand, "Even if the people I find have bad intentions, they'll be within my control. But someone like Richard is different."
Lu Wantang said helplessly, "I'm not interested in him."
She had only casually complimented the other person a couple of times; there was no need for her to act as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
"That's fine then." Chang Yun seemed relieved. "But let's skip the dinner. The show will be very popular these days, and he's not exactly a low-key person. Who knows, the photos of you two meeting might be on the front page the moment you start talking."
Compared to Richard, Lu Wantang would rather associate with Shen Qingzhu!
At least, Shen Qingzhu only had ulterior motives at the beginning, and became much more normal later on. She was not high-profile, and every time she met Lu Wantang, she would choose a place where she wouldn't be photographed.
"I know."
Lu Wantang nodded.
To stop Yun-ge from nagging, she decisively changed the subject:
"Where is Chen Yubai? Where is he now? Has he been successfully interviewed by the media?"
As the saying goes, you can't make a sale by rushing people. When they were discussing what Chen Yubai should say in the interview, they thought they had to emphasize the word "casual".
The first step is to get media reporters to come to us.
In addition, Chen Yubai cannot appear too cooperative.
To achieve this, Chen Yubai's two assistants need to cooperate with Liang Mei's actions.
Lu Wantang is currently unaware of the progress.
Upon hearing this, Chang Yun glanced at his phone.
"Liang Mei sent a message saying that Xiao Chen is now surrounded by the media and security personnel have arrived."
"Nothing went wrong, right?" Lu Wantang asked.
"No, don't let Xiao Liu's low EQ and sharp tongue fool you. He's actually quite clever. He just targeted the reporters' location and 'accidentally' met them with Xiao Chen, who was fully armed."
Of course, even if Chen Yubai's fully armed appearance can be interpreted as 'deliberate', Chen Yubai is just a newcomer who has only been in the industry for less than a month. How could he know how ubiquitous the media is?
As the two were talking, they arrived backstage.
Backstage, it was always staff members coming in and out. Even if they were curious about Lu Wantang and his companion, they would only mention it briefly during casual conversation. They wouldn't take photos of them on purpose, nor would they rashly come up to ask for autographs or photos with them.
Furthermore, they might not even know Lu Wantang, and even if they do, they might not recognize him.
"Liang Mei sent a video, do you want to take a look?"
While Chang Yun was asking questions, he had already handed his phone to Lu Wantang.
Click play.
A live interview appeared before my eyes.
Chang Yun thoughtfully took out Bluetooth earphones and turned down the volume.
Because it's unprocessed, all you hear when you open the video is a lot of background noise.
After a long while, Chen Yubai's voice came through the microphone.
"Please don't push or shove. You can ask questions one at a time, but I must say beforehand that there are some questions I will not answer."
"Because the company hasn't taught me how to do it yet, and I've only been in the industry for less than a month, there are many things I don't understand..."
Only after securing control of the narrative did Chen Yubai allow reporters to ask questions.
The reporter who "came first" did not disappoint, posing a direct and pointed question right from the start:
"You only got third place in this show. Was it pre-arranged with the production team before the competition?"
On the small screen, you could tell that Chen Yubai really wanted to roll his eyes.
"If I had discussed it with the production team in advance, I wouldn't have been third, but first."
"Of course, I was just joking. The production team is indeed fair and just. As a guest, I know this very well because I didn't even know what the competition rules were before I came to record the show... Sigh, it seems like I wasted all those dozens of episodes of 'Voice of the West'."
His sigh made the onlookers laugh.
The second question was asked by a reporter from a gossip magazine.
"If you were able to sing a suitable song without knowing the program's rules, your company must have prepared many new songs for you. It's said that these new songs were all written by Teacher Zigui. Is that true?"
Chen Yubai nodded: "Indeed, most of them are from Teacher Zigui, who is a very prolific lyricist and composer."
"A newcomer can get multiple new songs. What is your relationship with Zigui?"
"Of course it's a superior-subordinate relationship," Chen Yubai answered frankly. "I'm definitely not the kind of person who falls in love with a teacher in school or a boss at work!"
"Then why would Teacher Zigui put so much effort into nurturing you?"
"Of course, it's because I stood out during the company's training. At the time, the company needed trainees who could speak multiple languages and also had requirements for singing skills and other indicators. In the end, only I was left."
Being multilingual is indeed a special skill, and it's hard to find many newcomers in other continents who not only have this skill but also have good singing ability.
The reporter who was asking the questions finally had nothing to say.
Perhaps because of the mention of 'several new songs,' the next question from the reporter was the one Chen Yubai had been waiting for.
"Since Teacher Zigui prepared many new songs, why did you choose a new ancient-style song in the third round of the competition? Now everyone on the internet is saying that you failed in your song selection. Did you do it on purpose, or is there another reason?"
Chen Yubai raised an eyebrow: "Couldn't it just be a simple mistake?"
The reporter who asked the question said dryly, "Don't joke around. Since you came to Xizhou to participate in the program and have watched many episodes of 'Voice of Xizhou,' you must know what kind of songs the judges from Xizhou like."
In other words, if one were truly focused on winning, they wouldn't insist on singing the universal language song of Earth.
Not only that, but he also chose an ancient style song that many Westerners find difficult to understand.
