AFVSIBS Chapter 216: Zhou Chen Instantly Guessed Their Marketing Strategy
In this entertainment industry on Blue Planet, although Yang Hanhhan debuted earlier than Zhou Chen, she was too kind and naive. She didn’t realize that capitalists would go to any lengths to achieve their goals.
So, Zhou Chen patiently explained to her, "Both 'Music 2023' and the 'International Music Festival' that I'm participating in premiere on the same day. There's a competition for viewership and attention. Especially 'Music 2023,' they definitely don't want to lose in ratings to the 'International Music Festival.' So, I suspect this incident is their first plan to grab traffic and attention."
"Oh my, I wouldn’t have known this if you hadn't told me. It seems you haven't been in the industry long, but you understand it well," Yang Hanhhan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in admiration.
"It's just that I see things clearly, so I decided to leave it," Zhou Chen sighed deeply and replied.
"But the more I think about it, the angrier I get. They can compete for traffic, but why use me as a pawn?"
"Because you're a rising star in the music scene, your popularity is among the top female celebrities right now. Also, maybe Zheng Shulong has an interest in you."
"How do you know that?"
"There's nothing in the entertainment industry that can be hidden from me. Plus, I know Zheng Shulong has recently sent people to investigate our relationship."
This information was from his agent, Wan Fangfang, but Zhou Chen usually couldn't be bothered, so he never mentioned it.
"What! He's investigating our relationship? That's too much! Next time I see him, I'll give him a piece of my mind."
"Maybe he's too fond of you. After all, you are the nation's goddess."
"No, I definitely don't want a playboy like him to like me. He can go like someone else. I'd be grateful if he didn't like me."
Yang Hanhhan showed a look of disdain and then continued, "By the way, you don't really think there's anything between me and him, right? I swear I haven't even glanced at him. Here's my WeChat contact list, see? I deleted and blocked him long ago."
She cared too much about Zhou Chen's opinion, so she unreservedly showed him her WeChat contacts.
However, Zhou Chen didn't look. He slowly took a sip of coffee from the table and then said, "I never said that. I know you wouldn't like a man like him."
"Right, I would never like a man like him. The man I like must be..."
Yang Hanhhan wanted to describe Zhou Chen's traits but stopped halfway.
Fortunately, her phone rang at that moment, relieving the awkwardness.
She answered a call and said she needed to go back and take some photos.
"Alright, you go ahead. You have many events, and it's okay to leave Asu City for now," Zhou Chen said.
According to the plan, Yang Hanhhan could leave early. She just wanted to stay a couple more days to spend time with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen knew this, so he didn't want her to miss her events because of him.
He couldn't quite determine whether his feelings for Yang Hanhhan were friendship or love. He was concerned that if it was love, it might interfere with his early-to-bed, early-to-rise habit and feared that love would be too troublesome.
"What's wrong? Worried that I'll disrupt your routine? Want to send me away early?" Yang Hanhhan joked.
"No, I'm worried about your events. Besides, I have six episodes of the 'International Music Festival' to attend. You can't stay here until they're all done, can you?" Zhou Chen explained.
"That's more like it," Yang Hanhhan smiled.
To her, Zhou Chen worrying about her events showed his care for her. She was happy about it.
"Don't worry, I'll fly to Hangzhou tomorrow afternoon. I've planned my schedule well, it won't be affected."
She gently added, "Okay."
Zhou Chen nodded, just saying "Okay."
Yang Hanhhan was used to his style and didn't mind. After chatting briefly, she left his room and went back to her own to do some work. After finishing, she couldn't resist sending Zhou Chen a message.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, I rarely hear you talk about your love life. If you liked someone, would you care about their age?"
After sending it, she regretted it a bit, thinking that with Zhou Chen's intelligence, he would probably guess she was deliberately asking.
Though she liked Zhou Chen, she was afraid he would know. This is the contradictory mindset of many women who haven't been in a relationship.
Especially on dates, fearing he wouldn't show up, yet fearing he would be too forward.
When Zhou Chen saw Yang Hanhhan's message, he indeed guessed that the rising music star had feelings for him. He wasn't dense; he just saw things more clearly due to past experiences and cared less about many things.
"Not really, as long as there's love, age isn't an issue. Love is more about feelings and compatibility."
This was his view on love.
Zhou Chen chose to answer truthfully based on his inner thoughts.
When Yang Hanhhan saw Zhou Chen's reply, she smiled happily. She was already imagining what it would be like to be in a relationship. She even started thinking about what to do after they started dating, blushing at the thought.
But she couldn't help her thoughts. After all, she was a normal, healthy woman. As such, if she wasn't indifferent or unwell, how could she not think about being with the man she liked?
Meanwhile, Zhou Chen was preparing to continue reading his literary magazine when the director of the 'International Music Festival,' Cheng Qiang, called.
"Zhou Chen, are you free now? Come over to my place, let's chat, and maybe have lunch together," Cheng Qiang said politely over the phone.
"Sure, I'll let my agent know."
Zhou Chen checked the time; it was about lunch time, so he agreed. After hanging up, he went to find Wan Fangfang, and they headed to the address Cheng Qiang had sent.
Cheng Qiang and his assistant were ready with tea, waiting for Zhou Chen.
"Director Cheng, do you think Zhou Chen will agree to our marketing plan?"
