Chapter 197 – Big Headline News
The noise from the living room made Chen Xiang wake up from his sleep.
He opened his sleepy eyes, fumbled to find his cell phone that was on the bedside, lit up the screen and looked at the time.
October 3, 09:22 in the morning.
It was almost time to get up.
Chen Xiang sat up and stretched his waist, then lifted the thin quilt covering him and got up.
Rubbing his eyes, he opened the bedroom door and went to the living room, preparing to wash in the bathroom.
Shortly after joining Lu Chen Studio, Chen Xiang moved out from his former underground dwelling and moved to a talent apartment in the Blue Sky Creative Park. The rent didn’t increase much, but the conditions were much better.
The property right of the two-bedroom apartment belonged to the creative park. It was only leased to the people working in the park. Lu Chen Studio applied for the apartment and assigned it to Chen Xiang and one of his colleagues.
The other person worked for Muchen Crowdfunding Network Company, and could be regarded as a colleague.
Chen Xiang was really satisfied.
The small apartment was located on the upper floor. The room was clean, fresh, bright and spacious. The decoration was refreshing. He didn’t have to worry about rats or cockroaches crawling out under the bed, nor would he hear those annoying noise that accelerate the blood circulation of a certain part of his body at night.[1]
And it was very close to his workplace, so he didn’t have to work hard to get up early to squeeze in buses and subways every day.
He really had enough of that miserable life.
Although Lu Chen Studio was small in scale, it was full of vigor and vitality. Colleagues have a good relationship with each other. Everyone was like a friend, and there was no discord.
If possible, Chen Xiang wanted to keep working there for a long time.
“Old Chen, are you up?”
His colleague was preparing breakfast in the living room. Soybean milk, steamed stuffed bun, fritters, and white rice porridge were on the table, exuding a tantalizing fragrance.
“Let’s eat together. I bought your share!”
Chen Xiang rubbed his hands and said, “Thank you. You eat first. I’ll be right there!”
After hurriedly finishing his personal hygiene in the bathroom, Chen Xiang sat down at the dinner table, and couldn’t wait to pick up a still warm steamed stuffed bun into his mouth.
It has full of meat fragrance, which gave him have a great sense of satisfaction!
“Old Chen, let me show you a big news!”
Chen Xiang had just swallowed a meat bun when his colleague passed him a newspaper and said, “I saw it on the way.”
What big news?
Chen Xiang held the soybean milk with his left hand and took the colorful newspaper with his right hand.
Daily Entertainment Broadcast!
The gaudy style and the advertisements, which could be seen everywhere, clearly illustrate the origin of its identity.
Private second and third-rate tabloids mainly focus on entertainment news.
After entering the new century, with the development of the Internet industry, the traditional newspaper industry has been seriously affected.
The prosperity of new media was the general trend. The state gradually liberalized the control of the newspaper industry and turned to full marketization, resulting in the emergence of many private tabloids to seize the already shrinking market.
Although the strength of private newspapers wasn’t strong, but their mode of operation was very flexible. They didn’t try to be comprehensive in newspaper content, and they took the unique feature route, some of them were still very moist.
In Beijing, there were hundreds of tabloids like the Daily Entertainment Broadcast.
Noticing the puzzled expression on Chen Xiang’s face, his colleague smiled mysteriously and pointed out, “Turn it over and look at the front page!”
Chen Xiang turned the newspaper over and spread it on the table.
Pfft!
He spurted out all the soy milk in his mouth, and a lot of it was sprayed on the tabloid.
He saw in the front page of “Daily Entertainment Broadcast”, an eye-catching line in bold, black, and large font.
[The Queen of Sweet Song Chen Fei’er met Lu Chen privately in Jinling, behaving in an intimate manner, suspected of love between an older woman and a younger man!]
My krypton gold dog eye![2]
Chen Xiang felt that his eyes were blinded by the headline.
Chen Fei’er and Lu Chen fell in love?
This was really big news. It could really made headlines.
There was nothing say about Chen Fei’er, the whole country knew who she was. She was a real Heavenly Queen level superstar.
Lu Chen, that was Chen Xiang’s real boss!
Although it wasn’t possible to meet him every day, but in his feeling, Lu Chen, besides being tall, handsome and talented, he wasn’t much different from ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, he was together with Chen Fei’er. He really couldn’t believe it.
However, this third-rate tabloid’s news wasn’t unfounded. There was a full page of photos as evidence!
The report was written by a reporter named Fan Fan.
He narrated the process of how he caught the news with long text and pictures.
Yesterday, during the day, Chen Fei’er appeared on the Xiangjiang Road of Jinling Film and Television City, and made a set visit to Lu Chen, who was shooting a commercial. However, Chen Fei’er herself attended a brand endorsement event in Jinling.
That night, Chen Fei’er disguised herself and left the hotel where she stayed and went to Wangjiang Restaurant, where she had a private dinner with Lu Chen, and neither of them had an assistant with them!
The front page of “Daily Entertainment Broadcast” made it clear that Chen Fei’er was dating Lu Chen.
In the second page of “Daily Entertainment Broadcast”, it also published Chen’s photos and profiles.
One had to admit, this kind of third-rate tabloid was extremely efficient in publishing. The photos that were taken secretly in Jinling last night made headlines this morning.
It was going to be a big deal!
Chen Xiang came back to his senses. Since the photos were there, it might be true.
He quickly took out his cell phone and selected the number at the top of his address book to call.
This must be known to Lu Xi.
In fact, there was no need for Chen Xiang to call. Lu Xi has already got the news.
At the same time that Daily Entertainment published headlines in the newspaper, its website and blog also released news at the same time.
Then it was quickly forwarded by colleagues with sharp nose[3], and it has already set off a storm in the Inspur blog!
Chen Fei’er and Lu Chen!
When everyone saw the news, their first reaction was similar to that of Chen Xiang, that was, they didn’t believe it.
How could that be possible?
But Fan Fan’s photos were very clear. Although Chen Fei’er dressed differently than usual, people who were familiar with her could easily recognized her.
Needless to say, Lu Chen didn’t even wear sunglasses.
Although all the photos didn’t show the two acting too intimate, the private meeting was a fact!
In the past, Chen Fei’er was rumored to have several scandals, and was also photographed many times by reporters. It was later proved that these scandals were either deliberately hyped or based on hearsay, and the rumors were quickly dispelled.
The present situation was obviously a little different.
Lu Chen was the champion of Singing China”, and Chen Fei’er was one of the judges. The latter’s appreciation of the former was obvious to all, and the two have many interactions on the blog.
Chen Fei’er even invited Lu Chen as a guest at her solo concert next month!
There relationship between the two was undoubtedly very good. It wasn’t strange that two were in a relationship.
Even if the age gap between the two was a little big.
Chen Fei’er’s fans exploded first!
“This is impossible!”
“555555 ~ Chen Fei’er, my goddess is in love?”
“Hype. It must be that Lu Chen is deliberately making hype, asking someone to secretly take pictures. It’s so despicable!”
“Calm down, everyone. Don’t make wild guesses. Wait for the official news to come out.”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! “
“Weakly speaking, in fact, I feel that Lu Chen is not bad and is worthy of our Fei’er.”
“Will the one who says that it’s okay please kill yourself? Thank you.”
“......”
Many fans of Chen Fei’er were agitated, some questioned the authenticity of the news, and some scolded Lu Chen, as if the latter had tarnished their goddess in their hearts, and wanted to cut him to pieces!
Since her debut more than ten years ago, Chen Fei’er’s beautiful and pure image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. She has an extensive influence among the post-70s and post-80s people and was loved by countless people.
For many fans who liked Chen Fei’er, they hoped that their idols would always be pure and never to fall in love.
And for those who dare to destroy, it was absolutely irrational hate!
This was the helplessness of idol stars. Many artists didn’t dare to announce their relationships. They had to keep it a secret.
In contrast, the reaction of Lu Chen’s fans was quite different.
“Is this true?”
“It should be true. They have been photographed. I can only say that Brother Chen is too powerful!”
“Hehe, that’s Chen Fei’er!”
“Our family’s Lu Chen is hot and talented. It’s normal for Chen Fei’er to like him. Let’s wish him well.”
“In fact, there were already signs long ago. Just look at “Singing China” competition and you’ll know.”
“Sad, why do the men I like always fall in love with others?”
“You’re a man, too...”
Today’s news media spread news very fast. As soon as the headline of “Daily Entertainment Broadcast” came out, dozens of websites have reposted and published it, and the number increased rapidly. The topic was heated up in the blink of an eye.
As for Inspur blog, needless to say, with the collision of fans on both sides, “Chen Fei’er + Lu Chen” became the top searched topic in the home page in just a few hours. The clicks, forwards and comments of the topic continued to rise!
Compared with the revelry of the media and fans, people in the circle were much calmer. Most of them kept silent and wait for follow-up news. Some artists said some blessings or sour words to heat up their popularity.
But when Lu Chen, who was far away in Jinling, got the news, it was already noon.
His job today was to do a photoshoot for Senqi’s promotional posters, some of which needed to be taken in Senqi’s headquarters, so he was too busy.
There were a lot of photos to be taken, and there were two photographers accompanying him. His mobile phone was temporarily place in Li Feiyu’s hands. Although the latter knew about the scandal between Lu Chen and Chen Fei’er, he didn’t immediately tell Lu Chen so as not to affect him.
But after all, paper couldn’t contain fire[4]. After Lu Chen finished the photoshoot, Li Feiyu opened the web page to show him.
Lu Chen simply didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He never dreamed that he was secretly photographed having dinner with Chen Fei’er last night.
And made such a big headline!
This made Lu Chen really feel for the first time, the power of entertainment paparazzi!
