Chapter 474: Announced Retirement
As Mrs. Chen walked out of the lounge and closed the door, Chen Chufan closed his eyes and silently recalled the two years he had been in the entertainment industry. Although it was not long, his artist career was actually quite exciting.
From the first song "Lovetobelovedby" that became famous with the help of "Beautiful Woman", his acting career went smoothly. Even if he was unfairly treated in M Country, he immediately fought back and took his reputation to a higher level.
This was something Chen Chufan didn't dare to think about at all. If it weren't for that love breakup, if it weren't for the venting by the Nanhu Lake, perhaps he was just an ordinary college student who had just graduated and was now worried about finding a job. Naturally, it wouldn't be possible to win the hearts of the two school belles of the music department, nor would he have the opportunity to go abroad to meet Su Xiuqing, and of course he could not become a world-famous singer god, a real billionaire, and even own his own island.
Thinking of this, Chen Chufan unconsciously held Qiuqiu in his palm. Or what he should thank in this world is Qiuqiu. Because it is a creature that truly belongs to Dikaxing, and everything Chen Chufan has, in a sense, comes from this little guy in his hand.
"Don't worry, Qiuqiu, we will be completely relieved soon. In the future, we have time to record all the musicians on Dikastar and carry forward them! Maybe when I die, I will become a musician greater than Beethoven on the earth!" Chen Chufan raised Qiuqiu to his eyes and muttered.
"Dad, you are a musician who is greater than a hundred Beethovens. You know, although music on Deca Star is not the most popular art form of the Deca Star people, there are at least hundreds of musicians who are greater than Beethoven!" The sudden sound of the silly sound scared Chen Chufan and almost threw the ball in his hand out.
"You, why are you talking?" Chen Chufan looked at the ball in his hand in infinite shock and asked with tremolo.
"Dad, you forgot that I had become a little boy before? After I changed back, I kept changing my throat structure according to the little boy's throat structure, and then I could speak! Are you very surprised?" Qiuqiu raised his head and said in a coquettish manner.
Chen Chufan shook his head and made sure that he was not dreaming and completely lost his words. Is this a surprise? It is thriller, right? Facing a guinea pig-like little guy speaking humanly, he may scare ordinary people to death.
"Okay, even if you can speak, don't say it when there are outsiders, do you understand? Otherwise, you will be burned to death as a monster in the future, but don't blame your father for not reminding you!" After scaring the little guy who suddenly could speak, Chen Chufan's phone suddenly rang out in a hurry.
After looking at the caller ID, it was called by Ye Feng again. But this is normal. You know, today he announced his retirement, but an important part of Ye Feng's plan, this product that is afraid that the world will not be in chaos will naturally care about it.
Shocked when he put down the ball temporarily and suddenly spoke, Chen Chufan answered the phone. Ye Feng's voice was not in a positive shape and then came: "Hehe, big star, how is he feeling when he is about to announce his retirement? I'll do an interview first!"
"Get out! In this moment of separation and sadness, can you not be so happy?" Chen Chufan said depressedly.
"I'm sorry! I've long said that the pop music scene is not suitable for you. No matter how good you are, you're a singer. Look at who really thinks the singers of pop songs are really an artist. Let me tell you, you're throwing away the darkness and turning to the light!" Ye Feng said indifferently.
"Okay! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and say anything if you have anything to do!" There was nothing to say about Ye Feng, Chen Chufan, and he said concisely.
"It's nothing, I'll just remind you. Wait for the press conference. If a reporter asks you why you choose to retire, don't talk nonsense! It's best to leave everyone with enough imagination space, do you understand?" Ye Feng reminded excitedly, as if he was the one who was about to announce his retirement in front of the media.
"I know how to deal with it. You won't have to worry about this, Master Ye! Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore, I have to go out!" Chen Chufan said depressedly, and then hung up the phone directly.
At the last moment, he didn't want to waste his time talking about nonsense with Ye Feng, a person who was just as good as Yang Tao. He also had to brew some emotions.
But when Chen Chufan hung up the phone, he was depressed to find that after Ye Feng interrupted, he wanted to communicate with Qiuqiu but disappeared. He could only look at Qiuqiu in depression and said in a muffled voice: "Where did we talk about just now? Forget it, let's not say it anymore. In short, things have already happened. Let's go to see the reporter!"
...
The atmosphere at the press conference made people feel a bit weird.
As a celebration, today's specifications are high enough. The Great Hall, which can accommodate more than 1,300 people, was surrounded by reporters. Three senior executives of Universal Records came on the rostrum. Not only Tom Jackson, vice president of media at the Asia Global Division, came to the scene with Gerwell, the Asia Global President. There was even a special guest, Melca Fis, who had just been promoted to the marketing director of the Global Headquarters, also appeared at the scene.
This naturally attracted many speculations from the reporters on the scene. Many people were whispering, guessing what was going on, which would bring so many senior executives from all over the world to Hong Kong Island.
You know, these are all the real and powerful figures of Universal Records. Their collective attendance at Chen Chufan's new album celebration was a bit weird. What's even more weird is that when a group of dazzling sales data came out of Tom Jackson's mouth, except for Chen Chufan, the faces of other big figures seemed very solemn. There was really no joy that the celebration meeting should have. Even Tom Jackson, who was reporting on the rostrum, was not necessarily very high.
This made all the reporters in the audience very anxious, and the whispers in the audience even louder.
Everyone can feel that there is indeed a big news to be announced today, otherwise how could it be so big? On the contrary, everyone is very interested in Chen Chufan's album achievements. Is it unnecessary to say? After which album of Chen Chufan was released, it was not a big sale. Basically, it has been launched and has attracted crazy purchases. I haven't seen anyone else. Chen Chufan has never held a promotional event for a new album, and others are confident.
To be honest, in the eyes of the reporters in the audience, the hot sale of Chen Chufan's album is not much news. On the contrary, one day Chen Chufan's album is considered big news.
So at this time no one focused on the set of data announced by Tom Jackson. They were all looking forward to the end of this boring part quickly. They were all for big news.
Fortunately, it did not take much effort to finish reading that set of data, but only ten minutes later. Tom Jackson's speech ended.
When the host announced that Chen Chufan was about to start speaking, all the reporters in the audience suddenly became energetic, and thousands of eyes were focused on Chen Chufan sitting in the middle of the rostrum, and the entire venue instantly became silent.
Chen Chufan, who was focused on the crowd, stood up silently. He raised the microphone but did not speak for a long time. It is naturally impossible to say that Chen Chufan had no emotion at all at this time. But as Mr. Chen said, although he only stayed in the pop music scene for half a year, in the past six months, he has won the love of hundreds of millions of fans, and through this industry, he has gained wealth that ordinary people cannot save for several lifetimes.
So when Chen Chufan finally stood here and faced the media around the world to announce his final decision, it was inevitable that he would have to brew a moment of emotion. Chen Chufan did not speak immediately. The audience was also absolutely quiet, unless the photographer took the opportunity to capture the shots, the Great Hall, which gathered more than a thousand people, was so quiet that it could be heard.
"First of all, I have to thank many people for my success today. For example, my agent Mr. Chen, my record company, Universal Records. My classmates when I was studying in M Country, my friends, director Marshall who brought me into the entertainment industry, and fans who supported me, and many others, you have given me a lot of help. Without you, I think I would not have achieved today's success, so thank you!" After that, Chen Chufan stood on the stage and bowed.
"In addition, I would like to thank the media friends who attended today. I often play hide-and-seek with you, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Chufan's emotion greatly diluted the tension at the scene, and many reporters in the audience even smiled bitterly unconsciously.
Chen Chufan was right. It was a luxury for every entertainment reporter to find Chen Chufan's whereabouts this year. So although there may not be pure fans at the scene, there was still a burst of warm applause.
Chen Chufan stood on the stage and calmed down. He knew that the next time was completely his time. He needed to announce his decision. Although he was still reluctant to stand on the stage to perform, he did not intend to change what had been decided long ago. For his pursuit and for Dikaxing's musical heritage.
"But I think you don't have to worry about where to get me in the future! Because I think I'm already off the stage. As you know, I have about a month's contract with Universal Records. After the contract expires, I will not renew the contract with Universal singer because I decided to retire and go to the day of ordinary people who disappeared in front of the flash. I think this kind of life might be more suitable for me."
Chen Chufan's face still had a calm smile, but everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment. No one could even smile, even with a bitter smile. Even the paper media reporters who had been holding paper and pen and shorthand stopped their movements and looked at Chen Chufan who was standing on the rostrum in a daze.
At this time, the shock was the expression of everyone at the entire press conference, and no one was exceptional. Even the few photographers who were broadcasting live on the rostrum were no exception. They even forgot that they should turn the camera at this time and show the reactions of the reporters on the scene to the audience in front of the TV.
"Yes, I plan to retire! Ending my singer career, I admit that the two years in the music industry were an unforgettable time in my life. It's just that it's time to say goodbye to these years. Maybe soon, you will forget me as a singer, but I hope my music can leave some traces in the world, which is enough for me! Finally, thank you for attending my new album celebration today! My speech is over!" After speaking, Chen Chufan put the microphone back on the table in front of him, and then sat down silently.
But the scene was completely in a cold situation at this time. The entire hall was silent, without any sound, and even the sound of the camera shutter that had not stopped was completely paused at this moment.
Or it is not only the press conference site that keeps quiet at this time, but also the world watching this press conference on TV or computers is also shockingly quiet.
