Chapter 19

Prince Zixuan then pointed to a journalist at the back of the room.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. May I ask why you appointed the inexperienced Chen Zuming to manage the company? Some people have revealed that you were gambling in Macau last time, and it was also to stand up for Chen Zuming. Is this true?"

Out of the closet.

Although the journalist did not say it outright, everyone still understood and looked at Prince Zixuan and Chen Zuming with curiosity.

You're kidding me.

I'm straight.

Prince Zixuan turned to look at Chen Zuming, then immediately moved away in disgust and said, "The incident in Macau was entirely due to my own impulsiveness. Zuming was just a guide. The reason I appointed him to manage the company is mainly because of his network and social skills."

After saying this, he smiled and said, "Don't try to pin all sorts of nonsense on me. Don't the netizens call me the 'Prince of Positive Energy'? Positive energy is me, and I am positive energy."

The journalists below laughed at Prince Zixuan's playful attitude.

Prince Zixuan then smiled again and said, "Most importantly, I like beautiful women. If you report inaccurately and affect my love life, I will sue you!"

Although Prince Zixuan seemed to be joking, the journalists below could still sense a hint of warning.

If it were someone else, they might have ignored it.

But this spendthrift doesn't treat money as a big deal, and he is promoting "China's Got Talent." He might really spend money to sue them.

After finishing, Prince Zixuan made an exaggerated expression of disgust, leaned to the side, and handed the microphone to Chen Zuming.

Hua Shao also said at the right time, "Please let Mr. Chen answer your questions!"

Chen Zuming took the microphone and pointed to a familiar journalist.

"May I ask why Director Hong Tao did not attend today's press conference?"

This question brought the focus back to the main topic.

However, many journalists felt it was a bit bland, although it might reveal news about the director and the spendthrift not getting along and a last-minute replacement.

Chen Zuming smiled and said, "Director Hong Tao is a perfectionist. He personally led a team to the United States to purchase stage equipment a few days ago, so he couldn't attend today's press conference."

"Can you adapt to your new role?"

"I am doing management work for the first time, and I would like to thank Mr. Wang for his trust and support. In the past, I was a singer and actor, and now I have to manage various company affairs, which is indeed challenging at first. However, I have been in the industry for six years and am familiar with various tasks. I believe I can do this job well."

"When will the auditions for 'China's Got Talent' begin?"

Chen Zuming's answers to the three questions were all standard, even overly cooperative for the press conference.

The journalists below were somewhat dissatisfied, as these three journalists were clearly pre-selected.

Many press conferences pre-select the people who will ask questions, either from media outlets with good relationships or individuals with good connections.

Beforehand, the journalists would also contact the organizers of the press conference to hope for a chance to ask questions.

Chen Zuming had mentioned this to Prince Zixuan, but Prince Zixuan did not agree to pre-selection. He randomly picked three journalists.

"The auditions for 'China's Got Talent' will take place from December 1st to 3rd. Registration and auditions will be held simultaneously, and all regions will hold auditions at the same time. We will also apply for the Guinness World Record for the largest number of participants and the widest geographical coverage."

Chen Zuming's answer shocked everyone.

All regions holding auditions simultaneously!

Other talent shows only set up four or five regions and never held auditions simultaneously. 'China's Got Talent' set up regions in all administrative areas and dared to hold them simultaneously!

Renting a venue for one region doesn't cost much, but the human and material resources required for simultaneous auditions would increase exponentially.

Another extravagant move by the spendthrift.

Tan Yulin took the microphone, and the journalists below were still a bit slow to react, with only a few still raising their hands.

Tan Yulin randomly picked a journalist.

"Is the ten million yuan compensation what attracted you to be a judge?"

Tan Yulin smiled and said, "Ten million is a lot! But the main reason is that I heard there's a chance to teach the best voice in the country, so I came. If he becomes famous in the future, I can say he is a student of Principal Tan!"

After answering one question, Tan Yulin passed the microphone to Jacky Cheung.

Jacky Cheung also randomly picked a journalist.

"Will you sing in the show?"

This journalist was clearly a fan of Jacky Cheung.

Jacky Cheung nodded and said, "We will all sing, but the main focus will definitely be on the contestants."

When it was Han Hong's turn, a journalist asked a meaningful question.

"As the queen of mainland China, do you feel pressured to compete with Principal Tan and God of Songs?"

Han Hong didn't hesitate and smiled, "The title of queen of mainland China is what you said; I don't deserve it. There are several queens in the country, but definitely not me. If I were to compete with Principal Tan and God of Songs, I would just admit defeat. But if it's a competition between students, it's uncertain."

The question to Leehom Wang was even sharper.

"Is your compensation also ten million yuan?"

This was almost saying that Leehom Wang didn't deserve to be paid ten million yuan like Tan Yulin, Jacky Cheung, and Han Hong.

Leehom Wang didn't frown and joked, "Everyone knows that Mr. Wang doesn't lack money, so he definitely wouldn't do false advertising."

After saying this, he passed the microphone to the staff behind him.

Then Hua Shao randomly selected three journalists, and the selected journalists could choose to ask one of the celebrity judges.

Sun Nan, Yang Kun, and Wang Feng each answered one question without revealing anything.

After the three answered, Hua Shao said, "The Q&A session is over. Please let Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen, Tan Yulin, Jacky Cheung, Han Hong, and Leehom Wang perform the launch ceremony."

The staff also brought up a one-meter-diameter launch ball.

Prince Zixuan, Chen Zuming, Tan Yulin, Jacky Cheung, Han Hong, and Leehom Wang placed their hands on the touch ball. The touch ball flashed a few times, and the words "China's Got Talent" appeared inside.

"China's Got Talent is officially launched. Please help us record this moment and spread the information. Finally, thank you all for your media support."

With Hua Shao's closing remarks, Prince Zixuan and the stars left the stage and entered the back room.

After the journalists left, the group left in their respective luxury cars or Evolution Media's Mercedes-Benz minivans.

Prince Zixuan then invited the stars to a private club to avoid being photographed by journalists. They played in a private KTV room for a while.

In the KTV, Prince Zixuan also had a great time.

Chen Zuming's concern was justified; after settling the bill, the company's last few million were depleted.

The stars once again experienced Prince Zixuan's extravagance and felt more confident about future cooperation.
