Chapter 21: Evacuation
According to incomplete statistics, the press conference of LONG was attended by more than 700 media reporters from more than 20 different countries, and more than 20 TV stations broadcast live, with more than 700 reporters and more than 2,000 other media staff at home, which can be regarded as a media event.
"Hehe, now it seems that although Long's fans are sad, their support and loyalty to Long have not changed!" Adams said happily.
Cao Yunfang nodded in agreement: "Well, now it seems that we don't have to worry too much about Long's fame declining, his fans are more reliable and loyal than we thought." ”
Chen Feng was also secretly relieved in his heart, his public statement this time did not bring much negative effect, of course, it was the best. After taking out his mobile phone and turning it back on, he immediately received a call from his father, Chen Dayong.
"Xiao Feng, we are all at Shuqing's house now, we have all watched the live broadcast of your press conference this time, and you have done a good job......"
Before Chen Dayong finished speaking, he was snatched the phone by Zhao Xiaolan and said: "Xiaofeng, you did the right thing this time, our whole family supports you, this girl Hongye was moved to cry after hearing that you openly admitted to the world that she was your fiancée, yes, it is worthy of being my son, dare to act." That's how being a man should be. ”
"Mom, Momiji won't be crying now, give her the phone. ”
"Stinky boy, I know that I feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, and my mother was moved to cry by you. Hehe, rest assured, she doesn't cry now. Okay, Mom will give her the phone. Zhao Xiaolan seemed very happy, because she just listened to the news report on TV, more than 700 media in more than 20 different countries around the world came to Hong Kong for her baby son, and it was actually broadcast live, such a thing was much beyond her imagination, so far, she really understood her baby son's current terrifying fame and popularity, as the mother of such a talented young star, of course she is very happy and proud.
Momiji answered the phone, but his face was red and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Momiji ......"
"Xiao Feng ......"
Both of them invariably added each other's names.
"Let's talk about it first. Chen Feng smiled.
"I ...... Xiao Feng ...... Will it affect you if you disclose our relationship this time?" Momiji asked with some concern.
"No, don't worry, I watched TV just now, and it basically won't have any effect. Speaking of this, Chen Feng was also a little worried and said, "It's you, because of my relationship in the future, your identity will also be made public, there will definitely be a lot of pressure in the future, I believe you will definitely hold on, right?"
"Well, I will!" Momiji nodded firmly.
Chen Feng was relieved at this time, because there were outsiders around both sides, and the two of them were not good at saying too intimate and insensitive. After saying these few words briefly, they each hung up the phone.
Chen Feng walked to the window and looked at the bottom of the building, and saw a large crowd of people crowded together, and couldn't help but turn around and ask the two people who were still watching the TV news report: "Adams, Sister Cao, when do you think these fans downstairs will disperse?"
Adams said helplessly, "It's not for sure, you know, your fans are crazy about you." Chances are, they can understand that it will disperse within an hour or two, but there is also a good chance that it will not disperse for a day or two. ”
"Well, I'm also worried that these fans will continue to be besieged like this. Their purpose is to see each other, and if you don't, maybe this situation will continue forever, which is a bit bad. Cao Yunfang also said with some concerns.
The two of them were worried for a reason, until the night gradually fell in the evening, these fans downstairs had not completely dispersed, still gathered around the Four Seasons Hotel, the Hong Kong police maintained a special dispatch of thousands of police to maintain order here, and tried to persuade these fans to leave, but they were unanimously opposed, because many of them were foreigners, in order to avoid conflicts between the two sides, the police could only organize a human wall on the periphery of their gathering to prevent safety.
Many fans have obviously been prepared, and have taken out their own simple tents and other sleeping tools to set up at the scene, obviously they are preparing to station here, and many TV stations have directly used helicopters to shoot and report on this place in the sky.
Chen Feng and the three of them looked at the overlooking picture on the TV, and couldn't help but open their mouths slightly. The number of fans seems to have not decreased, not to mention, it seems to be much more, according to the visual inspection of reporters on TV, it is said that there are about 30,000 people. This kind of scene made the surrounding restaurants excited, because the business of this afternoon was almost catching up with their previous half a month's business, and the closer to the Four Seasons Hotel, the better the business of the restaurants. But such a situation is not necessarily a good thing for shops in other industries, and the surrounding situation is even more so, and they have called the police station to complain and protest. Moreover, so many people have been gathered together for a long time, and there are huge safety risks, so it is naturally better to let them disperse as soon as possible.
As the night came, the Hong Kong police evacuated these fans peacefully many times to no avail, and also caused dissatisfaction among these fans, and a small number of people also clashed with the police, but fortunately did not cause much chain reaction. However, because of this, and the fact that it was night, it was not conducive to the evacuation work, the Hong Kong police had to suspend the persuasion evacuation operation.
So, these LONG fans began to carnival and sing all night, they waved flashlights in their hands, neatly sang LONG songs one by one, and tens of thousands of people sang in chorus, this scene was really spectacular, even people from a kilometer away could faintly hear it. From this, it is conceivable that many people in Hong Kong tonight are sleepless.
Because of the situation at the Four Seasons Hotel, Chen Dayong and others, who were guests at Cai Shuqing's house, of course could not return to the hotel, so they could only make do with spending the night at Cai Shuqing's house.
The people who stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel obviously didn't sleep well that night, no matter who else it was, and tens of thousands of people were singing all night outside the window, even if you plugged your ears, the sound could be heard.
Chen Feng also didn't sleep well all night, but because of the relationship between the Arhat gods, when he got up at seven o'clock the next morning, his spirit was not bad, but Adams and Cao Yunfang were not so lucky, the two didn't sleep well all night last night, but because there was still something to do, they also got up the next day, but the eyebands of both of them came out, and they looked like they were angry.
At eight o'clock, Chen Feng, Adams and Cao Yunfang had breakfast together in the presidential suite, at this time, Cao Yunfang suddenly received a phone call, and hung up the phone after a while, and then said to Chen Feng with a stern face: "Chen Feng, the call from the police department, they hope you can come forward to persuade your fans to leave." ”
Adams's mobile phone also rang at this time, and after answering, he also said to Chen Feng: "The Hong Kong police commissioner's phone also said that he hopes you will come forward to persuade your fans to leave." ”
"Okay!" Chen Feng nodded, "What do they want me to do?"
Cao Yunfang replied: "They will set up a small platform at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel, and you will be able to use a loudspeaker on it to address the fans and persuade them to leave." ”
"Okay, will I go down now?" Chen Feng also wanted to let these fans leave as soon as possible, otherwise he would be the "culprit" if something happened to him.
Cao Yunfang and Adams both nodded, of course, the sooner the better. Still, Adams said, "Long, you have the right to refuse at this time. And in my opinion, if you really go down, maybe it will get worse. ”
Cao Yunfang also said with some agreement: "Adams is right, the Hong Kong Police Department just wants you to try, because, the news from the United States that the protests in major cities in the United States have stopped today, which shows that the statement you made yesterday is still very useful, and your words and your fans are very willing to listen to them." Therefore, it is up to you whether you do this or not. ”
After Chen Feng pondered for a while, he said, "Then let's try it." "It is said that there are a lot more people in the neighborhood this morning, and this number of people is getting more and more, which is not a good thing after all, Chen Feng of course hopes to let them disperse as soon as possible.
Seeing that Chen Feng had made a decision, Adams and Cao Yunfang certainly had no opinions.
So, the three of them went out of the presidential suite together, and the police personnel who stayed at the door had obviously received orders, and one of the responsible persons communicated with Cao Yunfang for a while, and then ordered a whole team of riot police and armed special police to start escorting work, take the safe passage, and march to the ground floor.
When I arrived at the hall on the ground floor, there were a lot of people gathered in the hall, and many people came this time in the hope of seeing Long with their own eyes, and when they saw the formation of Chen Feng and their group, a scream suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Long, it's Long, I've finally seen him in person, thank God!"
"I love you!"
……
They all rushed up at the first time, trying to reach the long at zero distance, but the riot police on the periphery were not vegetarians, so they hurriedly erected their shields to block their impact, blocking them at a safe distance from Chen Feng, and covering Chen Feng to continue to move forward.
There was still a group of explosion-proof policemen standing at the entrance of the hotel to maintain order, and the previous superintendent Zhang was among them, holding a megaphone in his hand, and when he saw Chen Feng coming, he hurriedly led another team of riot police to meet him, and then he shouted into the megaphone to these enthusiastic fans in English: "Please calm down!"
But apparently his words didn't work at all, and the fans continued to pound against the wall of riot police. Chen Feng saw that he was besieged by so many fans in the hotel, and his confidence in standing at the gate to shout immediately decreased, he really didn't dare to imagine that he would be besieged by tens of thousands of fans. However, with these riot police presence, there should be no problem with his personal safety, so I don't know if his persuasion will work.
"Long, please come this way, come this way!" Superintendent Zhang began to lead the way, sweating profusely.
Under the leadership and cover of his team, Chen Feng finally came all the way to the gate of the Four Seasons Hotel, under the front steps stood three neat rows of riot police, holding shields and batons, and a two-meter-high temporary platform was built in the open space at the main entrance of the hotel, which was obviously the place where Chen Feng spoke to persuade fans to leave.
"Long, it's all set, it's a loudspeaker, you turn up the volume to the maximum, and the fans around here should be able to hear it. Superintendent Zhang handed the megaphone in his hand to Chen Feng.
After Chen Feng took it, he took a look, this thing was not unfamiliar, but Chen Feng used it for the first time. Chen Feng didn't say much, so he took the megaphone and climbed the temporary high platform. There is a feeling that Zhuge Liang waited for the city tower and staged an empty city plan.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Chen Feng picked up the megaphone and tried it, and his voice was really loud, "Hello everyone, I'm a long......"
As soon as he said this, the scene was suddenly chaotic, and the fans who had begun to be a little sluggish in their spirits were all like stimulants, and quickly rushed towards the door of the Four Seasons Hotel, this scene frightened the police who maintained order at the scene, and Chen Feng, who was standing alone on the high platform, jumped up, if a stampede occurred, the consequences would be very severe.
"stop!stop!" Chen Feng couldn't help but shout, "please stand where you are!" Okay, I make a long story short, I hope you don't continue to gather here, it's very unsafe for everyone, I hope everyone can understand, I thank you very much for your love, but for the sake of everyone, for the sake of the Hong Kong residents living nearby and yourself, please leave here and go home. In order to thank you for your support and love for me, I am here to sing a song "FarfromHomeaway", please leave here in an orderly manner after listening to this song I sang, go home, return to your own place, please everyone. ”
After Chen Feng finished saying this, the scene suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers, and after a long while, the cheers continued, Chen Feng had no choice but to stretch out his hand and say, "Okay, I'll start singing now." ”
The scene suddenly became silent, except for the sound of the propellers of several helicopters in front of them, which were being photographed by several television stations in the air, and they certainly did not miss the opportunity to shoot the long.
“IamlovinglivingeverysingledaybutsometimesIfeelso……”
Chen Feng's cappella, because of the relationship between the loudspeakers, the voice seems a little distorted, but it still looks very clear and clean, and it has a very unique charm. At least, the fans of the long scene all listened to it with relish, and they all looked very intoxicated.
At the end of the song, the scene continued to be silent for a while, before thunderous cheers erupted again.
Chen Feng said loudly: "Okay, my song has been sung, please leave here in an orderly manner under the instructions of the police." ”
Although the fans at the scene were very reluctant, because of the personal persuasion of their idols, coupled with the strict readiness and evacuation of the Hong Kong police, they were very cooperative and began to pack up and leave one after another.
Chen Feng couldn't help but be very moved when he saw that these fans really listened to him, and shouted loudly: "Thank you! Thank you! I love you!"
Chen Feng's words naturally attracted applause from the fans at the scene.
This evacuation work, which lasted for more than half an hour, was finally completed smoothly, leaving behind a place of confetti and mess, so many people gathered here for nearly twenty hours, which is also a matter of course, and it is strange to keep the site clean.
After seeing the fans leave, Chen Feng walked down from the high platform.
Superintendent Zhang took the loudspeaker handed by Chen Feng with relief and thanked: "Long, thank you so much, without you, our Hong Kong police would definitely have to work a lot more to get these fans to leave." ”
Chen Feng said with some embarrassment: "I should be thankful for it, after all, these fans are attracted." ”
Superintendent Zhang hurriedly said: "This can't be said like that, maintaining social order is the duty of our police, and you are a big star, but you have no obligation to do so." ”
Chen Feng didn't want to be too entangled with him on this issue, so he smiled silently.
At this time, Adams came over and whispered to Chen Feng: "Long, Giorgio Armani, the president and founder of Armani Clothing, has come to Hong Kong, and he himself wants to meet you in person, and sign the Armani brand endorsement contract according to the conditions you opened last time. ”
Chen Feng was slightly surprised, this George Armani actually came in person, which shows the importance he attaches to himself, or it can be said that he attaches great importance to this endorsement contract.
Chen Feng nodded and said softly, "Then let's have lunch with him at the Four Seasons Hotel." ”
Adams nodded and said nothing, then took a step back.
Escorted by riot police and bodyguards again, Chen Feng and the three returned to the presidential suite.
Chen Feng asked Adams, "Which hotel is Mr. Giorgio Armani staying in?"
"It was at the Hilton Hotel. Would you like to inform him now and make this appointment official?" asked Adams.
"Well, it's half past eleven at noon. Chen Feng nodded, turned to Cao Yunfang and said, "Sister Cao, you go and contact the hotel manager here, and ask him to arrange an independent restaurant for me at noon to avoid being disturbed by the outside world." ”
Cao Yunfang nodded, and Adams each took out their mobile phones, and each walked to the side to make a call.
It wasn't long before the two of them got things done.
"Long, in addition to Mr. Armani's personal call just now, Mr. Rofit, the president of PepsiCo, also called me, explaining their sincerity in wanting to cooperate with you, they took the initiative to increase the endorsement fee by 10 million US dollars, 60 million US dollars in endorsement fees, but to sign a five-year contract with you, and also enjoy the right of first refusal, obviously they are very optimistic about you, which is also a matter of course, after all, you are only 16 years old now, as for the portrait rights commission, they agreed to give you a 10% commission, this proportion is not low in the industry, what do you think?”
Chen Feng didn't answer Adams' words immediately, but asked Cao Yunfang on the side, "Sister Cao, what do you think?" ”
Cao Yunfang, as Chen Feng's agent, of course, has the right and obligation to know and participate in Chen Feng's endorsement, and immediately said: "The five-year contract is too long, generally those endorsement contracts are two or three years long, in my opinion, they have obviously made analysis and predictions, and are very optimistic about the trend and fame in the next five years, so they will make such a heavy bet." They can come up with such a price, it shows their determination to win, the current price they offer is basically consistent with Long's fame and potential commercial value, however, I think Long's own commercial value is still steadily improving, not to mention next year, that is, at the end of this year, his potential commercial value may be much higher than now, therefore, I build yì The term of the endorsement contract must be reduced, and I would rather temporarily reduce the endorsement fee, this period must be pressed down, preferably two years, and not more than five years at most。 ”
"Hmm. Chen Feng said very approvingly, "You think about the same as me, after I held a press conference this time, the reputation of my belief has been greatly improved, so these advertisers are competing for bidding one by one, asking me to endorse them." A five-year contract is too long and not conducive to maximizing my own value. At noon, you and I have lunch with Giorgio Armani, who has come to see me endorse their Armani costumes, at the same price and for the same period as Pepsi, and you can talk to them then. ”
"Okay!" Cao Yunfang heard the endorsements of these two internationally famous brands, and of course it was fake if she was not excited, so she could only barely suppress it.
As he spoke, Adams received a phone call and walked aside alone to answer it.
Cao Yunfang saw Adams's expression, a trace of annoyance flashed in his heart, and said to Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, in the future, for your various business activities, it is best to let those advertisers directly contact me, the agent, instead of the boss of the company you signed with." ”
Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Well, I'll tell Adams and ask him to publish your contact information." ”
Cao Yunfang had nothing to say.
Over there, after Adams finished the call, he walked over with a happy face and reported the good news: "Long, the phone call just now was from Motorola, and the news that you used their company's mobile phone was actually known to them, and they very much hope that you can be their company's brand endorsement, and the price offered is also very good, 30 million US dollars for 3 years." ”
