After comforting Miranda, Chen Feng patiently waited for Tina's arrival.
Finally, an hour before the premiere, the wait arrived.
He immediately took Tina to a secluded corner.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Tina asked, looking back at Miranda, "Aren't you worried about Randa misunderstanding?"
"Don't worry, she won't misunderstand."
After Chen Feng said this, he said straight to the point: "Tina, I hope you can live in peace with Beyoncé. Even if you can't be friends, don't be enemies. Isn't this good for both of you?"
Tina frowned and said unhappily: "Boss, you should know that Beyoncé was the one who started this matter from the beginning to now. I didn't do anything wrong. She was the one who provoked me all the time.
.Including the damn tweet she posted a few days ago. On the surface, she said she lost, but she also insisted that the reason why I won was because you helped me. You were right to help me, but you also helped her.
Ah. Besides, I am your person, and what is she? She is just your friend. I don’t care if you write songs for her, but she turns around and says you are helping me and is unfair to her. Isn’t this unreasonable?
?She deliberately took the opportunity to rub off on us twice. Forget it the first time, can I still let her go the second time? I have fulfilled my obligation as a friend."
Chen Feng could only slow down his tone and said: "Of course, I know that this matter is not your fault. I did not ask you to give in to her, let alone apologize to her. She is indeed unreasonable in this matter. I
I just want you and Beyoncé to come forward together to calm down this fan war. Now the fan war between you two has crossed the line. If it continues, it will be very bad for both of you.
It will make those neutral people feel that you two are ignorant of the general situation, which will be a harm to your current reputation and personality. Everyone will think that you are ignorant and not qualified to sit on the throne of the queen of the music industry. Think about it, isn't it?
Is this the truth?"
Tina frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I also know that they are making a big fuss now, and some other artists are also involved. But this war was started by her first, and I was just forced to fight.
.I will not speak out first."
What else can Chen Feng say? Tina really needs to be more reasonable in this matter.
"Well, I'll let Beyoncé speak out first to dissuade her fans from fighting. Then, you must follow immediately. If the quarrel continues, I can tell you responsibly that next year all your music awards may be lost.
No gain."
Tina's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She knew very well the importance of those music awards in consolidating her popularity and fame. Especially the Grammy Awards.
Last year she won two Grammy Awards, which officially established her status as the queen of the music industry. She has missed this year's Grammy, but she is bound to win next year's Grammy.
But as Chen Feng said, if you allow your fans to fight with Beyoncé’s fans online, and even involve other artists or other innocent netizens, you will lose a lot of impression points with the Grammy judges.
.
"Okay. I get it. I don't want my fans to continue to quarrel with her fans, but we lack a person with enough weight to make peace. Boss, you are just the right person. Go tell her, she just wants to
Come forward first and let me know, and I will follow up immediately."
Seeing that Tina had a good attitude, Chen Feng was quite satisfied and said, "Tomorrow we will film the MTV video of "Love the Way You Lie". You should be free, right?"
Tina immediately became happy when she heard this: "Yes. I'm free these days."
Even if I don't have time, I have time. It has been more than ten days since the song "Love the Way You Lie" was released, but it has not been released on MTV. Fans have long had their opinions. And those TV stations are even more so, because this song is too
famous.
Without MTV, the broadcasting effect of the TV station is much worse. The live edited version of the two people's late night show has been used, which can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
Originally, Tina wanted to tell Chen Feng about this a few days ago, but because her schedule was too busy and the matter with Beyoncé was very disturbing, she was afraid to mention it when chatting with Chen Feng.
, what if Chen Feng asked her to take the initiative to surrender? So, the matter was dragged on.
Now after a slight rebound, her album has begun to decline again. If MTV releases it now, it is possible to increase some sales.
"That's good. Let's try to shoot the MTV of this song in two days."
"What?!" Tina was a little dumbfounded. Although MTV is not as well-made as the movie, "Love the Way You Lie" is destined to become a classic song. You can't be too perfunctory or the quality is too poor.
Of course Chen Feng could understand her mood and said confidently: "Don't forget, I am a director. I personally wrote and directed the song "Little Umbrella" when you debuted on MTV."
"But, you can really finish the filming in two days, is it good?" Now that Tina's status is different, the relationship between the two is actually relatively close, unlike ordinary superiors and subordinates, so they speak more directly.
"Don't worry, if you are not satisfied with the result, we will re-shoot it."
Chen Feng had given him a guarantee, and Tina didn't say anything more. After all, the "Little Umbrella" mv that Chen Feng directed for him was indeed very classic, especially the umbrella dance, which is still praised by many people.
imitate.
Therefore, Tina still has confidence in Chen Feng.
Chen Feng didn't say anything more to Tina. After asking her to go to Miranda first, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Beyoncé's number again.
This time, after waiting for a while, Beyoncé finally answered the call in person.
"Chen, what's the matter?" Beyoncé started with a very formulaic friend tone.
Chen Feng guessed that there should be others around her, so he asked: "Is it convenient to talk to you now?"
"Wait a moment."
After a while, Beyoncé said again: "Okay. Okay, you say it."
Chen Feng also said very directly: "I hope you will speak out and stop the war started by your fans online. In addition to tweeting, it is best to speak directly to reporters. Tina will also follow up soon.
You should know that it is not good for either of you if the fans on both sides are making such a big fuss."
"Okay. But Tina must stop it first." Beyoncé said in a strong tone.
Chen Feng suddenly had a headache and said impatiently: "Bee, do you think this is Tina's fault? From the beginning when you proposed a record war with her to this time inciting fans' emotions. Don't you?
A little responsibility? And do you still remember what you said at the beginning? You said that no matter whether you win or lose, you will never be serious with Tina, and you will still be friends. But now, I think the two of you are going to become enemies. You
Do you realize this?"
Beyoncé said unhappily: "Then do you remember that I begged you not to help her, at least not to help her so hard. But you didn't agree. Not only did you write songs for her, you also worked hard to do it yourself.
Do you think you're treating me unfairly by helping her fight? If you didn't help her so hard, she wouldn't be able to defeat me this time."
Chen Feng sighed and said: "Bee, I told you a long time ago, Tina is my person. It's very unfair to her that I helped you write two songs, and you used it to challenge her.
I still want to step on her to get the upper hand, so am I just going to sit back and watch something like this happen? Besides, this is business, understand? The record business. I am a businessman and Tina’s boss. I must be responsible for Tina and my company. Am I right?
Are you so eager to make me let go and let you step on Tina to get the upper hand? You said that I helped Tina and then you lost, which is unfair to you. Then have you ever thought about whether it would be fair to her if I didn't help her?
fair?"
Beyoncé was silent for a while, and then there was a faint sound of sobbing.
"Chen Feng, don't you think I am yours? We are the same, you are my relative, at least I have always regarded you as my relative, but you would rather help Tina, an outsider,
And I still tried my best to help, but ended up in person. This makes me feel very uncomfortable, you know? Even though I am selling very good records now, and I am very famous, no less than Tina. But I am being joined by an outsider like you, a relative.
Defeated, do you think I can feel better? Chen Feng, do you understand? You shouldn't have personally gone to help Tina like that. This makes me feel betrayed by you. If you just wrote songs for her, even if it was ten
Even if I sing a song, I won’t be so angry.”
Chen Feng was a little speechless. However, from Beyoncé's side, she seemed to be right in thinking so.
Because of the relationship between her daughter and the ambiguity between the two that cannot be completely cut off, she really may regard him as a relative.
As a result, Chen Feng personally helped Tina create the hit "Love the Way You Lie" and defeated her. Thinking about it, she must have been very angry.
Not only did she lose to her competitor Tina in the record war, but also because her relative, Chen Feng, was on the opposite side. This was considered a double injury, at least Beyoncé felt that way.
Listening to the sobs coming from the phone receiver, Chen Feng couldn't pretend that he didn't know about it even for the sake of his daughter.
"Bee, I said business is business. Helping Tina defeat you is entirely out of business considerations and nothing else. In fact, if it weren't for your personal relationship. After knowing that you were going to start a record war with Tina
After that, I should have taken back the two songs I wrote for you. But I didn’t do that. So, in fact, it was really unfair to Tina from the moment you launched the challenge. And as her boss, I
Will the producer of the new album not help her, but instead hold her back? I can't do that, and I can't do it."
"Okay, we all have our own positions. So, so be it..."
"Wait." Chen Feng quickly stopped her and said in a slightly stern tone, "Bee, we are all adults. Don't be arrogant. If we continue to make trouble, it will not be good for you or Tina. You are not children anymore.
."
When Beyoncé heard this, her tone suddenly became tougher: "I said, Tina's side will go first, and I will follow."
"Beyoncé, you make me very angry like this, you know? I'm not joking with you. You have to speak first on this matter, and then Tina will follow. If you don't agree, I will ask your agent
Agreed with ICM. Do you understand what I mean? I do this for your own good."
"shxt! Go to hell for my own good! You don't regard me as your relative or your family at all. You haven't seen Nina for a long time. Have you forgotten that we have a daughter? You
Don’t care about us at all, you bastard! Liar! Go to hell!”
Beyoncé suddenly burst out of emotion. After venting loudly, she smashed her phone.
Hearing a busy signal from his cell phone, Chen Feng's head really started to hurt. He really didn't expect Beyonce's reaction to be so big.
In the past, Beyoncé almost never disobeyed his requests, and she always had a very good temper and was very reasonable in front of him.
Who knew that this persuasive phone call would suddenly make her explode.
Therefore, the reason is that she blames Chen Feng for helping Tina but not her, and the other reason is that she has not seen their daughter for several days. The two reasons are superimposed, and maybe the latter reason is even bigger.
After he went to Silicon Valley before, he hadn't seen Tina for several days. But he had already told his mother the reason on the phone. Didn't his mother tell Beyoncé yet?
explain.
He immediately called his mother, Elaine Chao, and after asking for a while, it turned out that her mother had forgotten to tell Beyoncé about his business trip to Silicon Valley.
Chen Feng couldn't blame his mother, so he just asked her to call Beyoncé to explain.
After hanging up the phone with his mother, Chen Feng estimated that the time had passed for a while before calling Beyoncé again. The result showed that the other party had turned off her phone. It is conceivable that either she had blacklisted her or Beyoncé had just blacklisted her.
Angsi smashed the phone directly. The latter is more likely.
It's not good for him to call Beyoncé's manager at this time, otherwise she may misunderstand her even more. He has no choice but to talk about it tomorrow.
Putting away his phone, Chen Feng returned to Miranda with a bad expression.
"What's wrong, honey?" Miranda asked concerned.
Chen Feng reluctantly cheered up, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Tina on the side asked a little sensitively: "Does Beyoncé disagree?"
Chen Feng shook his head quickly and said: "I don't disagree. It's just that her mood is a bit unstable. After all, she lost to you. Now many media are mocking her. Especially your fans, who have been chasing her on the Internet.
He was beating her up and mocking her as a loser. It was hard to hear anyway."
"Then did she agree?" Tina asked.
Chen Feng could only say perfunctorily with some embarrassment: "She said she wanted to think about it. Don't worry, I will convince her."
Tina frowned and saw that many people were already around, so she did not continue the topic.
"Chen Feng, Landa, come here, I will introduce you to a few people."
Marcia came over to greet them personally, and then took them to meet some of the guests invited to the premiere. These guests included some well-known directors, actors, singers, dignitaries, company bosses, film critics, etc.
