"Okay, Mr. Watt, it's better to drink next time! When my new album is released successfully, I'll invite you to drink!" Chen Chufan smiled, and he did not make any comments on Kalman Watt's complaints. *Literature Museum*

"Then you do it first. I will pay attention to what you said! Goodbye." After Kalman Watt said that, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.

Chen Chufan was a little uncomfortable with Kalman Watt's simplicity. He rarely called Kalman Watt, most of the phone calls he had. And every time he talked with Kalman Watt, most of the phone calls he had with Kalman Watt, Kalman Watt would pester Chen Chufan and talk nonstop. Basically, after Chen Chufan could not bear Kalman Watt's fatigue bombing, he repeatedly suggested that he was tired or busy, so the old man would reluctantly end the call. Today, Kalman Watt took the initiative to hang up the phone, especially when he was so hot that he was hyped by the media recently, which was beyond Chen Chufan's expectations.

What he didn't know was that Kalman Watt had just hung up the phone and dialed his former enemy, his current boss, Tom Jackson.

In fact, after coming to Hong Kong Island, he had never met Chen Chufan. Of course, this was also something Tom Jackson intended. For an executive of a record company, he did not like to have too much friendship and contact with his singers outside of work. This is Tom Jackson's deep-rooted professional habits.

"Tom, have you been following the entertainment news in Country Z recently?" The phone call was answered, and Kalman Watt even asked directly without even a few greetings. Their personal relationship was not good. Although they were both in Asia, they rarely communicated except for work.

"Entertainment News in Country Z? Oh. Kalman, although I am learning Z essays, my level is not enough to let me understand those difficult Z essay conversations. So I never watch Z essay channels. But if you refer to Chen's conflict with a Korean artist, someone has reported it to me." Tom Jackson asked.

"That's great, what I want to say is this! Don't you think this is actually a good opportunity you have been waiting for? The company doesn't even need any investment to let the media help us promote Chen for free. I think this can save you a lot of publicity costs!" Kalman Watt suggested.

"To be honest, before you call, I was considering what you said. Maybe this is indeed a good time, but unfortunately Chen's second album is still in preparation. I was originally planning to release these news before Chen's second album was sold!" Tom Jackson said with some regret.

"It is impossible for everything to be as satisfactory as possible. Tom, you can't be too greedy for anything you do. Your mentality is very dangerous now. Okay, let's not say much. Since you agree with my point of view, then that's it! Goodbye!"

Obviously, the call with Tom Jackson did not make Kalman Watt feel happy. He hung up the phone, stood up expressionlessly, and left his office directly.

After Tom Jackson hung up the phone at Kalman Watt, he had a thoughtful expression on his face. He was about to pick up the phone and dial it out. But he seemed to remember something. After looking at the watch, he did not make a call immediately, but wrote an email directly in front of the computer and sent it out.

......

At 7:30 in the evening, Chen Chufan's press conference began on time. In fact, the reason why Mr. Chen arranged the time in the evening was closely because Chen Chufan needed to work during the day. Moreover, because this reception was held in Hong Kong Island, many media in the inland came to the news. They took the initiative to contact Mr. Chen to attend this press conference. For Mr. Chen, the more media can come to the reception, the better. It is necessary to leave enough time for media from these inland cities to come to Hong Kong Island.

So Mrs. Chen directly rented a conference room in the hotel where Chen Chufan lived, which could accommodate more than 300 people, but even so, it was still crowded by the reporters coming.

According to statistics from staff before the press conference, at least more than 200 media outlets were present at the press conference, not only the media outlets from mainland China and Hong Kong Island in Z, but also five of them were from Korean Island.

This data also proves that Chen Chufan is now famous. Perhaps Chen Chufan doesn't want this reputation, but there is no doubt that he has indeed become a hot topic at this time.

However, Mrs. Chen did not seem very excited at this time. On the contrary, this agent, who has always been cautious in his actions, was a little worried. The reason was naturally some of Chen Chufan's actions. For example, before the press conference, Mrs. Chen did not see Chen Chufan taking her to Chen Chufan. For example, when she explained some precautions to Chen Chufan, Chen Chufan seemed to be listening carefully, but his face was always filled with a calm smile.

At the last press conference, Mrs. Chen suggested that he should not break the relationship with the media, and Chen Chufan had a similar smile on his face. This made Mrs. Chen have some bad premonitions before the press conference, and now, these premonitions have indeed become facts.

"First of all, I have to apologize to all media friends, especially those who attended the signing ceremony with Pepsi last time. Because I was answering a question from a reporter friend, I didn't explain some of the words clearly, and I was misunderstood by all media friends. That's right, it's about Sun Haoyong, one of the members of a group of Korean Island, who has a very potential evaluation of me."

"I remember my response at that time was that I didn't understand Korean. If Mr. Sun Haoyong didn't understand Chinese, I think communication between us would be difficult, so I didn't have anything to respond. Yes, I answered this at that time. Recently, I have read a lot of commentary articles and some online netizens' comments. This answer was considered by many people to be too arrogant and suspect that I am disrespectful to the senior artists of South Korea. The more serious accusation, or I am suspected of hyping up the reputation of Mr. Sun Haoyong. This accusation was raised in the afternoon's press release of the Gop group. But what I want to say here is that you all misunderstood me!"

Speaking of this, Chen Chufan paused and did not answer the conversation immediately. At this time, except for the flashes that kept flashing and making "click" key sounds from time to time, there was no other sound in the field. Everyone kept quiet and waited for Chen Chufan to continue talking.

In fact, although Chen Chufan's speech has not been read according to Mr. Chen's manuscript so far, the general meaning is still as Mr. Chen's request. However, Mr. Chen feels quite bad.

The representatives sent by several Korean media outlets did not feel this way. When Chen Chufan said this, they all seemed very excited, and the pen kept recording.

"Yes, you all misunderstood me. Because I'm not just arrogant, nor do I want to use some Korean island popularity group to hype myself. I just look down on them in my heart."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Chen Chufan could not continue to speak. The sudden commotion in the audience filled the entire press conference with buzzing discussions, and some media even raised their hands directly to signal to ask questions.

"Quiet, quiet! It's not time for reporters to ask questions yet, please keep quiet in the audience!" The meeting host had to speak up to maintain order on the scene.

Finally, the scene gradually became quiet, and Chen Chufan could finally continue his speech.

"After the signing ceremony with Pepsi, I learned about Gop, the so-called popular Korean group. Thanks to the reporters of Z for posting the detailed information of this group in the media, which also gave me a channel to understand them. After understanding, I looked down on them even more!"

"I debuted in 1998 and have released three albums in the circle for three years. The album has only sold more than 2.3 million. I am so embarrassed to call myself an artist senior? I am so embarrassed to call myself a popular group? I am so embarrassed to travel thousands of miles to Z Country to hold a concert? I am so embarrassed to be for them! What makes me feel even more uncomfortable is that Mr. Sun Haoyong, who is in such a group, dares to comment on me having a great potential? Even at their press conference today, I openly declared that I was using their fame to hype, which really made me feel very stressed!"

"In this regard, I want to use a set of data to illustrate who is borrowing who is famous for self-hype. According to the data I just obtained from the company's marketing department in the afternoon, the first album I released in January this year, the current sales data are 1.02 million copies in Hong Kong Island, 420,000 copies in Taiwan, 1.52 million copies in the mainland, and 180,000 copies in other regions of Asia, and the total number is about 3.15 million copies. In addition, what I need to emphasize is that this is the data counted last Friday, that is, the sales data before my signing ceremony with Pepsi. According to Mr. Sun Haoyong, this is the sales data I have not used their so-called reputation to hype!"

As soon as Chen Chufan finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion again from the audience. The reason was no different. The set of data released by Chen Chufan was really too amazing. The sales data of Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island were easy to say, because the region was small and easy to count, and the various record sales lists were also on it.
