RPAGF Chapter 38: Don't misunderstand!
Chapter 38: Don't misunderstand!
The signing and press conference officially began at 2:00 PM.
This press conference will once again be live-streamed online by Sinlang Entertainment, using a combination of video and text.
At the very beginning of the press conference, the number of viewers for the live video broadcast reached over 100,000, while the number of viewers for the text and image live broadcast exceeded 500,000.
It is clear that the pre-launch publicity was quite successful.
The signing ceremony for Huayi Brothers was also very well organized. The host was Dai Jun, who was quite popular at the time, and the celebrities who came to support the event were all dressed up.
Each of them held a Huayi Star in their hand, and walked all the way from the red carpet to the stage, placing the star on the snow leopard sculpture in the center of the stage.
This snow leopard sculpture is made of crystal and contains LED lights.
When Jackie Chan appeared last and placed the last star, the lights came on.
The scene darkened, and the snow leopard sculpture shimmered with seven-colored light, still looking quite cool.
Jackie Chan walked to the side, and the stage lights focused on the center, where Shen Gongbao sat in front of a guqin, his expression solemn and dignified.
Behind him were several other musicians.
The opening performance of today's press conference was Shen Gongbao playing the "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" coda, which was later adapted in a lower key.
Ta-da! ...
As Shen Gongbao's fingers moved, a melodious and desolate piece of music began to play.
The music seems to be telling a story of unfulfilled desires, or perhaps it's a sense of relief after a struggle—since the flowers are blooming, why care for whom they bloom or whether they will wither?
Listening again, one senses the tragic grandeur and epic feeling of a martyr's unwavering determination.
Combined with the film and television footage on the stage screen—an hastily edited clip of Shen Gongbao's performance as the Jade Emperor—it created a very strong emotional impact and firmly established the image of the Jade Emperor.
Viewers in the live stream left numerous comments after seeing this.
"666! I never knew Shen Gongbao could play the piano!"
"No wonder he's a top student; the way he plays the guqin has the air of a great scholar from ancient times."
"What's the name of this song? I've never heard of it before."
"I never knew the guqin could sound so beautiful! I've fallen in love with this traditional Chinese instrument for the first time!"
"Is Shen Gongbao portraying the Jade Emperor? Is this song the Jade Emperor's exclusive background music?"
"I'm really looking forward to The Forbidden Kingdom! I hope the movie is released soon!"
……
Huayi spent a lot of money and resources on this signing and press conference, so of course they should make good use of it.
As a newcomer, Shen Gongbao should make the most of such occasions to increase his exposure and attract more fans.
The press conference will also incorporate elements from The Forbidden Kingdom to promote the film.
Therefore, the opening performance of the press conference was a guqin performance by Shen Gongbao.
This adapted version of the "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" coda has a very different artistic conception from the original. In the eyes of many netizens, it is almost like two different songs.
The excellent adaptation also made the ending of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" popular again in the future, becoming a common background music for various short videos introducing people's stories.
When Shen Gongbao was adapting the script and characters, he had already planned to plagiarize this adapted song and use it on the character of the Jade Emperor.
In retrospect, the performance was quite successful.
Many netizens began to like and follow Shen Gongbao after seeing his performance.
After Shen Gongbao's performance ended, Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing walked onto the stage hand in hand.
The two were dressed very differently.
Li Bingbing was dressed as an angel, looking very dignified;
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, dressed like an ordinary girl next door, with her hair casually tied in pigtails and her makeup deliberately aimed for a youthful look.
This was Shen Gongbao's suggestion, which aimed to showcase Liu Yifei's youthful vitality and also to pave the way for her to sing children's songs later.
Judging solely from her outfit today, Li Bingbing was outshone by Liu Yifei.
Her angel costume was overdone and didn't quite work. Instead, it made Liu Yifei look even more pure and ethereal, with a touch of childlike cuteness.
After the three artists from Snow Leopard Studio took the stage, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Jackie Chan also came on stage again.
The next part was the interview and exchange session.
It's nothing more than discussing why Shen Gongbao and the other two joined Huayi Brothers, why Jackie Chan is optimistic about and invests in Huayi Brothers, how Huayi Brothers' artist studio model is implemented, and what its significance is.
The entire conversation lasted half an hour.
Everyone seemed to be behaving normally, except for two people who appeared quite restless.
One is Liu Yifei.
Her children's song performance was the grand finale of the press conference, which is why Liu Yifei wanted to end the press conference hastily.
However, more than an hour has passed since the guests started eating bayberries, and they don't seem to have any significant reaction.
As the interview was about to end and the final ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to take place, Liu Yifei was very anxious, constantly drinking AD calcium milk.
In fact, for safety reasons, Liu Yifei gave her a small dose of medicine, and the effects of the medicine take time to take hold, so everyone seemed fine.
For example, Wang Zhongjun and Jackie Chan actually had some stomach discomfort, but they were able to bear it, so it wasn't a big problem.
But Wang Zhonglei wasn't doing so well.
He already had a sensitive stomach, so he had a strong reaction and really needed to go to the toilet, but since there was a live broadcast, he couldn't speak up.
I had no choice but to keep it to myself.
When the interview finally ended, Wang Zhonglei breathed a slight sigh of relief and was about to take the opportunity to go to the restroom when she saw Shen Gongbao calling everyone to come up on stage.
"Let's speed things up, the viewers in the live stream have all left, everyone's waiting to see Liu Yifei's performance!"
The half-hour interview did indeed bore the viewers, and the number of people watching the live text and image broadcast plummeted to only a few hundred thousand.
Shen Gongbao's words made sense, so all the celebrities quickly came up on stage.
Everyone formed a semicircle in preparation for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Wang Zhonglei felt increasingly uncomfortable in her stomach, almost unable to hold it in any longer, and also felt a strong urge to fart.
When Dai Jun shouted "Three, two, one," Wang Zhonglei wanted to take advantage of the noise of the fireworks and music to quietly fart first.
"Three!!! Two!!!"
"Pfft!! Pfft pfft! Pfft pfft!! Pfft pfft pfft!!!"
Dai Jun called too slowly, Wang Zhonglei misjudged the situation, and couldn't hold back any longer, so she farted first.
Most importantly, he really couldn't hold it in and released his dry goods along with his fart!
Just as Dai Jun shouted "three, two, one," the whole place was quiet as everyone listened to his instructions, making Wang Zhonglei's pooping sounds particularly noticeable.
The viewers in the live stream all heard it!
Shen Gongbao reacted the fastest and most directly, stepping back two or three meters and covering his nose.
I have to cover it up, it really stinks!
Although other celebrities tried to restrain themselves, their true instinctive reactions couldn't be hidden. Some subconsciously distanced themselves, some frowned, and some secretly peeked at Wang Zhonglei's backside.
A large area there has already turned yellow.
The viewers in the live stream went wild upon seeing this!
I never expected today's signing ceremony to turn into such a dramatic event!
Wang Zhonglei's face turned green. She felt completely hopeless and stood there motionless, burying her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Dai Jun was also dumbfounded, unsure whether to continue the ribbon-cutting ceremony or have Wang Erzong do some cleaning first.
While he was still confused, Huang Xiaoming suddenly clutched his stomach and ran off the stage.
He hadn't run more than a few steps when he heard a series of "popping" sounds, and his suit trousers had turned yellow!
Huang Xiaoming didn't stop; he could only run and puff away, puffing as he ran!
His pants turned yellow, the oranges turned red, but his face kept changing color from green to red!
After Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jun, Ren Quan, and Tong Dawei also ran off the stage.
They already had stomach discomfort and had been enduring it, but after seeing Wang Zhonglei release her gastrointestinal fluid, it was as if they were stimulated by some kind of signal, and their gastrointestinal reactions became even stronger.
The three of them ran down together; the walkway above and below the stage was quite narrow.
Tong Dawei was walking on the outermost edge when he slipped and fell straight down.
*Thud!* The person landed on the ground.
Pfft! The poop landed on the ground too!
Tong Dawei blushed deeply, closed his eyes, and buried his head in the carpet—he really didn't want to open his eyes and face this cruel world!
Seeing this, Hu Jun and Ren Quan no longer cared about appearances.
They immediately covered their buttocks with their hands, using external force to hold them in place, and quickly ran towards the toilet.
At a press conference, Wang Zhonglei defecated on stage, Huang Xiaoming defecated while running, Tong Dawei defecated after falling, and Ren Quan and Hu Jun covered their buttocks to prevent defecating.
This scene is so hilarious and so entertaining!
The netizens who were watching the spectacle were delighted, and the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed, returning from over 100,000 to 200,000 or 300,000, and is still growing rapidly.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Shen Gongbao stepped forward and said, "Don't misunderstand!"
We ate something unclean, and everyone had a stomachache.
This is a serious public health incident, absolutely not something that a few people couldn't handle!
These words immediately caused an uproar among netizens who were already watching the drama unfold!
"That Taoist priest really knows how to play the game! Turns out these guys couldn't keep quiet! He's too smooth!"
"The Taoist priest told you not to misunderstand, he already said they weren't unable to keep quiet! You're all so wicked!"
"So, all the guests here ate something unclean and their stomachs are upset, but only these few people couldn't handle it?"
"Shen Gongbao is truly a master of exposés; he revealed the truth to netizens in just one sentence."
"Wow, this press conference is a detector for zero?"
"I don't understand why they couldn't hold back!"
……
The netizens were completely excited, and the live stream chat was filled with comments, causing the text and image live stream to lag.
The key point is that Sina was also very malicious, releasing several close-up photos in a row, determined to devour this massive wave of traffic!
Various media outlets at the scene snapped photos, leaving behind many precious images and videos.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei felt a mix of joy, shame, and panic.
The good news is that the press conference was canceled, so we don't have to sing nursery rhymes anymore;
She felt guilty because she only wanted these people to go to the toilet, but she didn't expect some of them to be so relaxed and unable to hold back, which led to this situation.
The panic stems from the fact that things have escalated too much; the official statement from Shenyang also described it as a serious public health incident.
This is going to be difficult to handle!
Liu Yifei was in a panic when Shen Gongbao continued, "Due to the public health incident, our press conference ribbon-cutting ceremony will be suspended for half an hour. Staff will be cleaning up the site, and we also need to take care of some personal matters."
We will return to the stage for the ribbon-cutting ceremony in half an hour.
Dear viewers, please don't leave yet! There's more to come, including Liu Yifei singing children's songs. Stay tuned!
Liu Yifei: "???"
