Chapter 271 Conspiracy
There was silence in the conference room, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"No, are you serious?"

Gao Xixie's face was filled with shock. He quickly lowered his voice and reminded, "Don't act on impulse now. At least calm down the press conference first, and we can talk about the rest later."

On the first day of filming, both the male and female protagonists were fired?
He simply couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this matter got out.

Let’s not talk about public opinion
I'm afraid SBS's evaluation of them will plummet.

The level of internal competition in the Peninsula entertainment industry is insane.

The chance to stand out from the vast crowd of online dramas and get into a TV station is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

He was worried that everything would come to naught.

Li Yang looked calm.

He didn't even look at Gao Xixie, but said in a relaxed tone: "Everyone, the launch conference is about to begin. You can all go to the backstage to prepare."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked outside.

It was not until this time that everyone came back to their senses and subconsciously looked at each other. Although they were shocked, they still chose to follow.

They have the same concerns as Gao Xixie.

only.
Li Yang's calm demeanor seemed to have some kind of inexplicable infectious power, which made them feel a little relieved.

"He must have a way to deal with it, right?"

Everyone looked at Li Yang's back and thought silently in their hearts.

Just like no one would think that a web drama that looks completely non-mainstream like "The Chaebol Son-in-law" would have the opportunity to be broadcast on the SBS official website, this man
No matter if it's the anchor or the scumbag spread on the Internet.
He personally supervises everything.
At least, he is qualified as a screenwriter of a crew.

Believe!

This word appeared in everyone's mind at the same time, and everyone stood up and followed.

Doorway.

Xu Mingnan was so frightened by the sudden change that his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

If he were really kicked out today, his name would be equated with low-quality artists, and he would probably have no chance of entering the film and television industry for the rest of his life.

He looked at his agent for help.

The agent also reacted at this time, stopped in front of Li Yang, and shouted: "You can't do this!"

He tried to talk to Li Yang on an equal footing, but the panic in his eyes revealed his guilty conscience.

In this regard, Li Yang didn't even look at him, too lazy to argue with such a thing, and said directly: "Ask the security personnel to stop the people, don't let cats and dogs or anything like that affect the press conference later."

After saying that, he led a group of people towards the back hall.

"Li Yang, you will regret your decision today." The agent who was stopped could only let out a final unwilling roar.

"regret?"

A curve appeared on Li Yang's lips.

I'm afraid we still don't know who will be the one who regrets it?
As he thought about it, his dark eyes became deep and bright, with a sneer in them.

Starship?

You want to play with traffic, right?
This time, I will have some fun with you guys.

I, Li Yang, may not be good at anything else.

But as for the Internet, we’ll just have to wait and see!

Nine fifty-seven.

Everyone came to the backstage and looked out the side door. At a glance, they could see reporters in the hall who looked excited and even a little agitated.

From this point on, the crew members started to get a little nervous.

When thinking about the public opinion that would be aroused, everyone felt an invisible pressure on them.

They subconsciously looked at Li Yang, but no one noticed that this person had become the backbone of everyone's eyes.

Li Yang actually smiled and said, "Wait, I can go up alone."

"Mo?"

"Moragu?"

Everyone looked stunned, and Gao Xixie subconsciously asked, "Can you solve the reporter's difficulties?"

Only after he finished speaking did he realize that what he said seemed a bit redundant.

Li Yang’s role in the crew is screenwriter.

Since he is active in front of the camera all year round, he is probably already very comfortable with these things.

On the contrary, those who have been working behind the scenes for years do not have precise control over the scale of their speech and are more likely to say the wrong thing due to nervousness.

"Believe me!"

Li Yang smiled and said jokingly, "In the future, we will definitely have the opportunity to appear in the spotlight together. This time, I will take the spotlight alone."

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.

"What the hell is this, screenwriter nim!"

"You were supposed to be the protagonist."

"Anyway, we'll do whatever you say. Even if it fails this time, there will still be another chance next time. Don't be too stressed."

Gao Xixie followed suit and teased, putting his hand on Li Yang's shoulder, with a rare sincerity on his greasy face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Yang slapped Gao Xixie's hand away, his face full of disgust, and complained: "What bullshit are you talking about!"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Huang Lizhi on the right.

Huang Lizhi and Li Yang looked at each other and instantly became happy. Just as she was about to explain something, she found that Li Yang's eyes had already moved away from her.
"Everyone, wait until I come back!"

Li Yang smiled slightly and walked to the hall.

Huang Lizhi's eyes dimmed in an instant, and she lowered her head slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

The people around didn't dare to say too much.

No one can guess what Li Yang is thinking.

It was Gao Xixie who came over.

"Director nim!"

Huang Lizhi said respectfully and politely.

"You should admit your mistake later." Gao Xixie's expression was relatively gentle. He said, "Li Yang, you are just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He didn't stop you. He just wanted to give you a chance. After the press conference is over, you should show your attitude."

As he said this, he sighed, "You don't know, the crew is Li Yang's root. If anyone sabotages the crew now, he will fight to the death."

Gao Xixie looked at Li Yang who was sitting under the spotlight and said with some regret: "Although he is usually easy-going in character and temper, he is more terrifying when he gets angry."

Huang Lizhi shrank his neck and whispered, "Yes, I know."

"Remember, you must let Li Yang see your attitude."

Gao Xixie gave a warning and then came to the side. He looked at Huang Lizhi who was still scared, and then looked at Li Yang at the press conference. He couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.

What a dark heart!

Look how scared the little girl is.

You go too.
If Huang Lizhi really leaves, where will the crew find the female lead?

Everything was planned.

The purpose is to eliminate the unstable factor of the second headquarters.

Li Yang played the villain and he played the hero, it was a great show.

It will also make Huang Lizhi feel more respectful when filming in the future.

It will reduce a lot of trouble when shooting.

But after thinking about it and looking at the admiring expressions of the crew members around him, Gao Xixie couldn't help but admire them a little.

Li Yang is the best person he has ever seen when it comes to controlling people's hearts.

Faced with the sudden change, they decided to put on a big show on the spot.

It also solved the secret coercion of Starship Entertainment.

It also instantly suppressed the arrogance of big companies like JYP.

of course
All this depends on Li Yang's response.

However, considering the plan that Li Yang had discussed with him, Gao Xixie felt that this matter was basically a sure thing.

He himself may not have realized that, since some time ago, he had a genuine sense of conviction in Li Yang.

Press conference, lobby.

Guns and rifles were everywhere, and the exposure lights were held high.

“I believe that the second season of “The Rich Son-in-law” will definitely not disappoint everyone.”

Li Yang read the prepared lines and said: "Thank you SBS TV station for the strong support, thank you Sanyang Gold for the sponsorship, and thank you Ye Jiaren for the clothing sponsorship."

It was so delicious that I just spent three minutes thanking the sponsors.

at last
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the manuscript was finally read.

"Now, dear journalists, if you have any questions you want to ask, please do so." Li Yang said with a chuckle.

In an instant, reporters rushed in and the scene became chaotic.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. Let's go one by one." Li Yang controlled the situation in an orderly manner and said, "Today, I promise to satisfy all the journalists."

The hall gradually became quiet.

"Isn't it the crew's press conference now? Why are the male and female leads and the staff not here?" a reporter stood up and asked.

Like a frog in boiling water, or the calm before the storm.
The question just asked is relatively mild.

But equally tricky.
"The crew members are all busy. I think as the screenwriter of the whole show, I am sincere enough to answer the questions. As for the male and female protagonists," Li Yang said apologetically, "They are late for some special reasons today and haven't come yet. I am very sorry for this. After all, I have wasted everyone's expectations. The crew will respond online later."

"But someone has seen their car coming."

"Next question."

Li Yang smiled and changed the subject, saying, "I believe everyone is more interested in something else today, right?"

"That's right!"

"As expected of a blogger with millions of followers, he still understands the media industry."

“Then we really asked.”

Seeing that Li Yang was so understanding, the reporters stopped making things difficult for him.

Compared to Li Yang’s hot searches, no one would care about the matter of the male and female protagonists.

Soon, someone stood up and asked, "Is the thing on the trending search true?"

"it is true!"

Li Yang smiled and nodded, explaining: "But it may be a little different from the facts. Everyone should know that I was filming a program with Jiang Huiyuanxi at that time, and I happened to send her home. I just ran into Zhang Yuanyingxi and said hello by the way."

"real or fake?"

A reporter questioned: "The two of you are very intimate in the photo, it seems like you are more than just friends."

"It's just a matter of perspective. Friends from the media should be very clear that different perspectives will present different scenes."

Li Yang paused, then said calmly, "Believe in my character. You should all be very clear about this before you come. It's just a scandal. It won't have any impact on me at all."

As he said this, under the somewhat disappointed expressions of the reporters, he casually dropped a bombshell and said with a smile: "But to be honest, I personally admire Zhang Yuanyingxi. If we can have dinner together, or go a step further, I think I will be very happy."

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was in an uproar!
The low mood a second ago was ignited again
"Li Yangxi, can this sentence be understood as a confession?" a reporter asked.

"Of course you can understand it that way."

Li Yang smiled and nodded, then he looked up at the camera, his dark eyes full of smiles, and said, "Men love beautiful women. I am a normal man, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to like a woman with a good figure and good looks, right?"

"In fact, I regretted for a long time that the seven-day heart-throb was only a brief taste. I think Zhang Yuanyingxi and I could have created a more intense spark."

Li Yang felt a little regretful, then said seriously: "Of course, I also allow all journalist friends to publicly report this. If there is really a chance to have dinner with Zhang Yuanyingxi, I am afraid I will have to thank you all."

"Wow!"

The press conference was full of excitement!
Li Yang's words are basically no different from a public confession.

Is Aquaman planning to go ashore?

However, some people heard something different and asked, "Why wasn't it broadcast with more depth? Is it because of some external factors?"

"Of course, but I'm sorry that I can't reveal the specific reason to you."

Li Yang looked at the reporter from Guangming Daily with satisfaction, and replied: "Everyone should know that there are some external forces that a small screenwriter like me cannot resist."

After saying that, he paused and said, "For example, today's actor was late. We are all workers, and there are some things that cannot be said. You shouldn't embarrass me, right?"

"of course."

"clear."

"really."

The reporters nodded.

Li Yang's words were almost enough to say that it was Starship Entertainment that was behind the trouble.

They all understand and can comprehend.

At this time, some well-informed reporters had already seen through what happened behind the scenes. The news spread quietly, and the eyes they looked at Li Yang were suddenly filled with sympathy and pity.

Even a talented new screenwriter will be constrained by capital?
Unconsciously, Li Yang seemed to be on the same side as them, and became a poor man who was played by capital in everyone's eyes.

Quietly.
The press conference fell into Li Yang's rhythm.

As an anchor with hundreds of thousands of people online in his live broadcast room all year round, it is natural for him to guide the rhythm of fans.

Even though these are reporters who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, they cannot avoid being affected.

"I remembered that Jiang Huiyuan was supposed to be the female guest in this episode, but she broke the contract at the last minute. This matter." A reporter suddenly thought of something and asked.

"It's true too."

Li Yang nodded and explained: "At work, there are always unexpected events."

He was neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed neither happy nor sad.

Damn starship!
Invisibly, the image of a villain quietly appeared in everyone's mind.

Some people have even been thinking about digging up some negative news about the starship when they return.

"What about Zhang Yuanying's incident this time?" a reporter seemed to have associated it with something and asked.

"I don't know either. Maybe they want her to act, or maybe a girl group is going to debut?"

Li Yang said calmly: "I am just guessing. The company will not disclose such things, but I personally support this matter. After all, the popularity this time is also good for "The Chaebol Son-in-law"."

He didn't say death, leaving himself some wiggle room.

"Will the problem with the male lead cause the crew to delay filming?" Someone couldn't help but ask this question.

"The Chaebol Son-in-law" has also been hotly discussed in society because of its novel plot, and many people are paying attention to it.

"No, the new male lead has already been chosen."

Li Yang smiled slightly and said, "It's right in front of you."

Everyone was shocked.

"Li Yangxi, it is said that you are against filming."

“Do you have enough energy to be both a screenwriter and an actor at the same time?”

“What caused you to change your mind?”

After asking the question, the reporter himself was stunned for a moment.

Why change your mind?
Who would suddenly change their mind unless they were forced to do so?
Damn starship!
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

"You know that's just hearsay, and besides, ideas can change at any time."

Li Yang gave a more official answer, saying, "Besides, I think it's interesting to be the screenwriter and the protagonist. I wrote the script, so probably no one can control this role better than me."

The reporters got it.

It seems that Xu Mingnan's dismissal is a foregone conclusion.

Li Yang took a sip of water, taking in the reactions of the people below, and felt satisfied.

Rhythm!

That's the rhythm.

Contradictions are always the media's favorite news.

The weak's resistance under the oppression of the strong is always the most anticipated and supported script by netizens on the Internet.

Starship wants to refute?
Sorry, these are real things they did.

Maybe they will hire some internet trolls to clean up the mess later.

But are there more people talking to Li Yang on the Internet?
Not to mention that K-pop fans themselves hate the oppression of artist management companies.

Even their fighting power is not proportional to the fans in Li Yang's live broadcast room who have been active on the Internet for many years.

On the Internet, whoever has the right to speak is the king!

Mixing truth and falsehood is a blatant conspiracy.

"But if that's the case, will you hold any resentment towards Starship Entertainment?" someone couldn't help but ask at the end of the press conference.

Such remarks would naturally not be allowed at a normal press conference.

However, in order to let the reporters let themselves go, Li Yang deliberately asked the host to go down, just to wait for this moment, waiting for this question.

"No, like I said before, the popularity of this matter has benefited both Starship and I, and I am only grateful."

Li Yang paused and said, "In addition, if you are worried that I may be lying, please ask journalists to focus on Idol Card afterwards. As the most authoritative institution for judging idols' strength, I believe Idol Card will give everyone the most truthful evaluation at that time."

Li Yang's smile became softer and brighter, and he said, "Similarly, we also welcome joint supervision from all walks of life!"

At the end of the press conference, another big bomb was thrown out.

"Wow!"

The entire Internet was in an uproar.

"boom!"

At the door of the representative's office of Starship Entertainment, the secretary at the door was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble when he heard the sound of something being smashed inside.

"How dare he?"

Jin Shidai looked at Li Yang's smiling face on the screen, gritted his teeth, and said this.
