Chapter 196: The Peninsulars fought again for Cheng Cheng, but this time they turned against Tian Gang
"Hello, Mr. Cheng~ It's great to meet you~ I've heard a lot about you!"

Sung Cheng and his group checked in at the hotel, and after a short rest, they arrived at the hotel and met with CGV’s president, Kim Tae Min.

Kim Tae-min is a real powerful figure in the capitalist country of the peninsula, holding enormous power. His industries not only cover the film and television industry, but also extend to real estate, media, automobiles, electronics, medical and other industries, which are closely related to the people's livelihood of the peninsula.

If it was his predecessor, he wouldn't even be qualified to see him.

"Hello." Cheng Cheng shook hands with him and then took a seat.

Yan Gou'er sat down next to Cheng Cheng.

Jin Taimin clapped his hands and asked the waiter to serve the dishes. While serving the dishes, he said to Cheng Cheng:
"Mr. Cheng, first of all, I want to apologize to you. I am sorry for taking the initiative to disclose your schedule to your fans and causing you trouble. In fact, this was a last-minute decision, but you were on a plane at the time, so it was inconvenient to contact you."

Kim Tae-min is the inheritor of the family business. He is only 33 years old this year, which is the prime of his life. In addition, the medical beauty industry in the peninsula is well developed, so he also pays attention to his own image, which is very good, and he is very much like the domineering president in Korean dramas.

However, in front of Cheng Cheng, he was still outshined.

Kim Tae-min observed Sung-seong up close and was amazed by his beauty from the bottom of his heart.

He had seen many celebrities in the entertainment industry, but none of them had shocked him so much.

Cheng Cheng didn't believe the nonsense of this Korean, but he came to the Peninsula for publicity, so he said: "It's good that Mr. Jin can understand. If there are any arrangements or changes in the next itinerary, I hope you will notify me so that both of us can make corresponding preparations."

"Of course, don't worry," Kim Taemin assured, "this will never happen again."

After the drinks were served, Kim Tae-min punished himself with a glass and apologized to Sung-seung.

Cheng Cheng accepted his apology.

If Kim Tae-min didn't say it, he would indeed feel resentful, but since Kim Tae-min took the initiative to say it and apologized, Sung-cheng was not a petty person, so he still planned to write it down in his little notebook.

That’s right, Cheng Cheng is a narrow-minded person.

He accepted the apology on the surface, but actually wrote it down in his little notebook to see how Kim Taemin would perform next.

"But Mr. Sung, you handled the situation very appropriately. You made a great start on the first day in the Peninsula and got half of the people on the Peninsula involved. This set a good start for what's next," Kim Tae-min expressed his emotion.

Yan Gou'er frowned: "But is it really good to quarrel? It will affect Director Cheng's reputation, right?"

She is also surfing the Internet and knows how fierce the debate is in Korea right now.

Jin Taimin waved his hand and said calmly, "Are you talking about those low-level men who have no commercial value at all? Who would care about them? They are a bunch of heartless, stingy insects who are only worthy of their contribution when they are needed."

Kim Taemin didn't think there was anything wrong with saying these words in front of Cheng Cheng and Yan Gour.

In his eyes, Cheng Cheng is an upper-class male like him, and Yan Gou'er is a woman, and they are in the same position under the buttocks.

Kim Taemin continued, "We just need to please female netizens because only they will spend money to buy movie tickets."

Yan Gou'er doesn't think this is respecting women, Jin Taimin just thinks that women's money is easy to make. Because women's money is easy to make, all kinds of flattery of women, elevating women's status, and promoting that those with strong spending power are queens is a strange phenomenon of the times.

Then, Kim Taemin talked about his upcoming schedule.

Cheng Cheng's itinerary in the peninsula is five days.

It corresponds exactly to the five major cities on the peninsula: Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon and Daejeon.

Cheng Cheng's team needs to go to a city every day to meet fans and promote the movie at the local CGV theater.

Kim Taemin: "Mr. Sung, I'll need your continued hard work from now on."

Cheng Cheng: "Why does this cherry smell like meat?"

Cheng Cheng really wasn't crazy, he really could taste the flavor of meat.

Jin Taimin took a look and smiled:

“This is cherry made with foie gras, a type of molecular cuisine.”

Cheng Cheng: “Fancy.”

He remained calm, complained, and picked up a "cherry" from Yan Gou'er's plate with the other end of his chopsticks.

Yan Gouer: ???

She pretended not to notice and quietly pushed the plate to where Cheng Cheng could easily steal it.

-

The next day, Cheng Cheng embarked on a promotional tour to five cities.

As more and more materials, videos and publicity were released for the promotional tour, the debate on the Korean Internet became more and more intense.

Just like the movie "Barbie" in the previous life, there was no big problem with the movie itself, but some people took advantage of the issue and made "Barbie" a weapon in their hands to wave against the enemy. So at this time, it is unreasonable to ask the "enemies" to remain rational and separate "them" from "Barbie".

Since you use Barbie as a weapon, let's break your weapon first.

By analogy, Han Nan has the same attitude towards Cheng Cheng.

Although Cheng Cheng himself is innocent, the Korean woman used Cheng Cheng to belittle the Korean man, so the Korean man cannot be blamed for boycotting Cheng Cheng.

Of course, the reason why the situation became so chaotic was more because of Kim Tae-min's intervention, because a fight would be good for him. As long as enough women came out to fight, more and more people would support Sung-cheng during the quarrel with the Korean man, and then more people would go to the cinema to watch "Those Years", and he would make more money.

He is pursuing the maximization of his own interests.

Of course, he also knew that this was actually disadvantageous to Cheng Cheng, because Cheng Cheng could have made money openly, but now he was forced to be forcibly tied to the aluminum circle group, especially in the peninsula, a country with serious confrontations. Cheng Cheng would be boycotted by Korean men forever, and whenever Cheng Cheng made a move in South Korea in the future, there would be people boycotting him.

"Those Years" is a love movie and its main target audience is women, so there is nothing wrong with this.

But will all his future works, songs, novels, movies, and variety shows, be mainly aimed at women? Not to mention the distant past, the upcoming "King of Masked Singer" will also inevitably be affected.

But Kim Tae-min doesn't care about all this.

He doesn't care whether Cheng Cheng's image will be affected, whether Cheng Cheng's popularity and reputation will be damaged, or whether he will continue to cooperate with Cheng Cheng in the future. He just wants to make a fortune from this order!

Korean online.

"Do you know that almost all local films released in the Peninsula since last year have lost money? Only "Crime City 3" has reached the break-even point? Now you are supporting Tianxia movies. Don't you have any self-awareness as a Peninsular?"

"Can you change your marketing and promotional methods? I have no problem with Cheng Cheng, but the public opinion online is too weird now. His fans seem to be crazy. Cheng Cheng is more handsome than all the men in the Peninsula → the men in the Peninsula are not good → the genes of the men in the Peninsula are inferior → I refuse to have children for the men in the Peninsula. Where does this logical chain come from? First of all, aesthetics is a very subjective thing. I have no problem with you praising Cheng Cheng for being handsome, but can you not belittle Korean men while praising him?"

"Isn't it their characteristic to bring up any topic and scold men? Just scold back."

"This Tianxia star has no idea that most of the people who support him now are not his fans. They are just using him as a tool. Believe it or not, if his movies contain any suspected "discrimination" content, these so-called fans will be the first to defect and curse more harshly than us? After all, they have been accused of "discrimination" in many of their films."

"According to their logic, they are all inferior to Alice Rossello. Does that mean their genes are also inferior?"

“I wonder if they thought about their fathers when they were scolding Han Nan.”

Cheng Cheng's supporters:
"I don't understand, I don't understand. We were just praising Cheng Cheng, thinking it was something incredible. How could this be able to break the defense?"

"Yeah, we're just praising men. Why would they be so upset? They're probably jealous because we didn't praise them enough."

"So who is the most jealous gender? It's obviously men!"

"It's so funny. You keep saying that almost all local films in the peninsula are losing money, but why don't you support them with your own actions? Why are there so many European and American films in the top ten of the box office list? What's wrong? You have to boycott Chinese films from Asia, but welcome European and American films? I can only say, don't love white men too much!"

"They love selling hooks to white men, easyboy!"

"Sister, order it!"

There is a heated debate on the Korean Internet right now, and the heat is no less than the upcoming Kaicheol Festival.

"Gaechonjeol" is equivalent to the National Day of the people on the peninsula, and is also called the "National Founding Day" by the people on the peninsula. It is the day to commemorate the establishment of ancient Korea, the first country in the history of the Korean Peninsula. The date is October 10 and it is designated as a statutory holiday on the peninsula.

The two parties in the quarrel have gone crazy and entered the stage of magical confrontation. They no longer follow any logic or reason and are madly putting the blame on each other.

If you boycott Cheng Cheng, you are just breaking your defense, being jealous, sour, and can't stand others being better than you!

If you support Cheng Cheng, you are an extreme fan, bitch!

On the third day after Cheng Cheng arrived on the peninsula, the war finally spread offline.

In Busan, at the announcement site, Sung Cheng answered several fans' questions, interacted with them, and took photos, being very cooperative.

There was a man in a hoodie and a hat, sneaking towards the stage, with a kitchen knife hidden in his arms, ready to sacrifice himself and destroy Cheng Cheng's face:

Didn't that group of women use this Tianxia man to belittle all Korean men? Then he would destroy the face of this Tianxia man!
He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. It was illegal, but so what? He was righteous!
Nowadays, Korean women are on duty in all aspects. They make wanton accusations and destroy things in subways, schools, movies, TV dramas, variety shows, novels, and short videos. Whether in reality or on the Internet, the living space for Korean men is getting smaller and smaller.

So he planned to put it into practice offline, using such a violent method to let the top leaders see how terrifying Korean women are now, to alert all Korean men, and to make society a better place.

He moved forward quietly, his eyes fixed on the Tianxia man on the stage, his eyes full of hatred.

3 meters!
2 meters!
1 meters!
It's almost within attacking distance!

However, just as he was about to rush onto the stage, a female fan asked Cheng Cheng another question: "Cheng Cheng, can you give a suggestion to the men of the Peninsula? Tell them what it means to truly respect women."

As soon as she asked this question, the whole audience fell silent.

Including the Korean man who was preparing to assassinate.

He also wanted to hear Cheng Cheng's answer and find out if he really deserved to die.

The host realized that this question was wrong, and he quickly stepped forward to stop it:

"Hello, ma'am. Thank you very much for raising this question, which does touch upon a very important issue in our society. However, considering that this is an occasion to promote a movie and time is limited, we may not be able to discuss too many details that are not related to the movie itself."

This question is indeed very sensitive. Not to mention on the peninsula where conflicts are severe, even in Tianxia, ​​a wrong answer will lead to judgment.

Moreover, the female fan who asked the question also specifically mentioned "a suggestion for the men on Peninsula", and the implication of sarcasm and provocation was very obvious. The faces of the men on Peninsula at the scene were not very happy.

At this time, Cheng Cheng's best response is to refuse to give advice and be vague so as not to offend anyone; or to bypass the point of "giving advice to men on the peninsula" and talk about how he respects women and completely stand on the side of Korean women. In this way, there will definitely be more supporters of "Those Years".

He knows how to maximize his own interests and knows what to say in a way that the questioner will like to hear.

but--

If he followed the rules like this, he would not be Cheng Cheng.

He picked up the phone and put it to his lips.

Everyone else looked at him expectantly, and the scene was filled with a tense atmosphere. The Korean man in the sweatshirt tightly grasped the knife in his arms, his eyes fierce, ready to pounce at any time.

Cheng Cheng: "Respect women as much as women respect men."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a silence for nearly three seconds.

The host was incredible!

The girl who asked the question is incredible!

The whole place was in an uproar.

The Korean man in the sweatshirt was also stunned. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. It turned out that this Tianxia man was actually a friendly army? He immediately gave up the idea of ​​assassination and even wanted to laugh. Laugh out loud.

But the women at the scene couldn't accept it.

They felt betrayed, as if they had loved each other for ten years and were ruthlessly abandoned by the other party.

No, who has been fighting for you all this time? Who scolded those dog-like Korean men for you? Who picked you up at the airport, praised you for your good looks, and collected data for you to prove that you are the most popular in Asia and to raise your status?

It's us!

Can't you see our efforts?

Why betray us at this time?

They really broke down. They couldn't imagine how clowns they would become after Cheng Cheng's words were spread online, and how vicious the Han man would ridicule them with.

There was a commotion at the scene, some people even left the table in anger, some people asked Cheng Cheng to give an explanation, some people wanted to rush onto the stage and grab Cheng Cheng's face, but Cheng Cheng was not affected at all, he asked the host: "What's the next part?"

The host's throat felt a little dry and he felt that his hosting career was in danger. The pace was too fast and the fire might very well burn him.

He tried hard to answer:

"Next is the fan interaction session. We will invite a fan to come on stage to interact."

Cheng Cheng pointed at the man in the hoodie and said, "It's you, can you please come up?"

The man in the hoodie with a kitchen knife in his arms broke out in a cold sweat and pointed at himself: "Me?"

Cheng Cheng: “Can I come up?”

Man in hoodie: "Huh?"

Cheng Cheng said, "Come up."

“Okay, alright.” The man in the hooded sweatshirt went up to the stage shyly.

Cheng Cheng: "What's your name?"

Man in hoodie: "Song Jae-joon."

Sung Cheng: "Hello, Song Jae Joon, why do you have one hand on your chest?"

Song Jaejun: "Uh, I, this is my habit."

Cheng Cheng: "The next interaction will require the use of two hands, please take them out."

Song Jae-jun looked embarrassed: "How about not doing it?"

Cheng Cheng coaxed him: "Take it out. You came here today as a fan and you like me, right? So don't be shy."

Song Jae-joon: "Do you really want to take it out?"

Cheng Cheng: "Really? Take it out."

Song Jae-jun took out his other hand, and then with a "bang", a kitchen knife fell to the ground. Everyone lowered their heads at the same time, their eyes fell on the kitchen knife, and then raised their heads at the same time and stared at Song Jae-jun's innocent face.

The scene was awkward.
"Help!"

“There’s a murderer!!!”

"A kitchen knife!"

"Security, security, come and provide security!"

Amidst the chaos, Song Jae-jun said weakly, "If I say I forgot to put down the kitchen knife when I went out, would you believe me?"

Cheng Cheng said sincerely: "I don't believe it."

Song Jae-jun had already lost all hope and made up his mind not to struggle any more. After entering the Jingcha Bureau, he explained his situation carefully and tried to get a lighter punishment. After all, he didn't really hurt anyone, and fortunately, he waited for one more problem and didn't hurt any friendly forces.

Cheng Cheng picked up the kitchen knife from the ground and said, "This is clearly a nail clipper."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, and swung the knife in front of his eyes, leaving an afterimage that covered his left hand, and the nails on his five fingers rustled and fell.

After trimming the nails on one hand, Cheng Cheng changed hands and finished trimming the nails on his right hand as well.

This scene terrified the people in the audience, and Song Jae-jun was also dumbfounded. It turned out that he saved his own life by not taking action just now. With Cheng Cheng's knife-controlling skills, if he rushed forward, he would not know who would fall.

Cheng Cheng couldn't put this kitchen knife down and said:
"Thank you for your gift. Next time, you are not allowed to give gifts in such a subtle way. Okay, go down."

Having said that, Cheng Cheng escorted Song Jae Joon off the stage.

Until Song Jae-joon walked off the stage, he was still a little dazed and felt that everything was unreal.

At this time, the security personnel arrived and prepared to control Song Jae-joon, but Cheng Cheng stopped them and said, "He is just a gift giver. I like the gift very much. You don't need to intervene."

The security personnel looked at the scene and found nothing unexpected had happened. They were a little confused but they retreated.

Sung Cheng winked at Song Jae Joon.

Song Zaijun's heart was in turmoil, and an incredible thought appeared in his mind:

Could it be that Cheng Cheng had already discovered it?
-

After the roadshow, Cheng Cheng’s topic once again became a hot topic on Korean websites.

All the Korean girls who clicked in and saw Cheng Cheng’s speech felt dizzy and began to doubt their lives!
No, why?

Doesn’t he know why he is so popular on the peninsula?
Why did you betray us?
Today, the Korean man and the Korean woman have fought to the death. In the eyes of both sides, no public opinion position can be lost, and they must fight for the legitimacy and rationality of their actions in all directions. If they lose this online war and are crushed by the other side, it will be more painful than death!

But they didn't expect that while they were still fighting for Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng claimed that he was on the same side as the other side.

What does this look like?
It's like an angel who has been beautified countless times and added countless layers of filters by himself and is regarded as pure and noble, but when the mask is lifted, it turns out to be a ghost.

My mind exploded!
I couldn't believe it, and I was angry and ashamed; I was heartbroken and furious!

They rushed directly to Cheng Cheng's comment section and questioned and insulted Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng also responded one by one.

"Why did you betray us?"

Cheng Cheng: "Stand on the right side, not on the side, thank you."

"As expected, I still can't trust men."

Cheng Cheng: "Please treat me as a person, not a man. If a woman makes a mistake, will you still say that you can't trust a woman?"

"Why did you do this to us? Why did you say such things to hurt our feelings? Haven't we always been protecting you?"

Cheng Cheng: "It's fair to respect women just like women respect men. Shouldn't men and women respect each other? If you think there's something wrong with this statement, is it your problem or mine?"

"You're trash. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't be so popular in the Peninsula. You took our traffic and stabbed us in the back. You dog, get out of the Peninsula."

Cheng Cheng: "First of all, I can confidently say that I am popular because of my works, not because of fabrication or data manipulation. Of course you like me and I am grateful, but isn't it also true that you used me to scold Peninsula men? You used me as a tool, dragged me into unnecessary disputes, and brought me bad reputation. Have you considered my feelings? I am an artist who relies on my works. I am upright and can make money openly. I don't need to be liked by certain groups, nor do I need to take shortcuts to get certain traffic. If you can accept it, you can continue to be my fan. If you can't accept it, please stop being my fan. I don't meet your expectations, and you are not suitable to be my fan."

"Liking you is really my cyber black history. I've been fighting haters for you these past few days in vain! Do you know that we are fighting the whole world for you?!"

Cheng Cheng: "May I ask where my haters come from? Your words and actions have made some people dislike me and become my haters, and then you scold these so-called haters. Isn't this a kind of nurturing the enemy to protect yourself? Is there a possibility that if you didn't fan the flames everywhere, I wouldn't have to fight the whole world?"

"Your movie won't do well at the box office! Just expect it to end badly!"

Cheng Cheng: "The Earth before you made your statement:
The Earth after your comments:
"

“Ahhhh, I’m so angry, don’t worry, you will definitely lose a lot of money!”

Cheng Cheng: "You are lying. You can type. You are not angry to death at all."

"I really liked you before woooo."

Cheng Cheng: "Delete the post in your status that says 'I hope all men are here'."

The Korean men laughed like crazy after seeing this! They felt a sense of revenge!

"Fuck, this is a truly positive artist! I've seen through your true nature. You all say you like me, but you don't really care about me. If you really cared about me, you wouldn't use my name to belittle others! Luckily, I see through you and don't want to be associated with you. Whoever is associated with you will be in trouble!"

"I'm also confused. Is there anything wrong with respecting women just like women respect men? Both sexes should respect each other. Why did the woman lose her defense?"

"Because they really know that they don't respect men at all,"

"I can jump up and down just by hearing this. I don't need to explain what it is."

"Hahahahaha, are you sure? If men treat women the same way women treat men, are you sure women can stand it? That's too toxic."

"It doesn't matter, if you don't go to see his movie we will!"

“I hadn’t planned on watching those years, but now I have to.”

"Brothers, did you see who is speaking for us? Let's push his box office to the top of this year's box office, okay?!"

"I'm going to be a fan of this Tianxia star! I like him!"

"The Tianxia star is still awesome, he's a real man! Unlike the idols in Peninsula, they can't be distinguished between male and female, they are all women-chasing guys, they dare not say a single truth in front of the media, this Tianxia star is more than a hundred times better than them."

It’s quite interesting. Previously, it was a Korean woman who said that Sung Cheng was better than the Peninsula star, but now a man has said this.
