Chapter 188 - 188: 183 Stubborn Child Part 1
The journalists below simply could not comprehend why Yuri Johnson was not afraid of antagonizing the company trying to destroy Kay Lee’s reputation. After all, is a game company. It’s a different professional circle, and IVY has its own portal website. The power of the news media is not to be underestimated, so this can be understood.
But, understanding aside, everyone knows Kay Lee’s current situation. Hasn’t low-balled the endorsement fee? This doesn’t make sense! How many business people are philanthropists? You know, given Kay Lee’s current situation, not to mention one billion a year, even a ten million endorsement contract per year would definitely be accepted, and such an endorsement contract is not considered low at all.
“Alright, now let’s move on to the Q&A session. But please maintain the order, and please note that this is WY’s press conference. We hope you will ask questions related to WY’s games. Finally, please show some empathy. Miss Kay Lee, if I remember correctly, is only 22 years old this year. For others, the age of 22 is an age where people have just entered university and have not yet graduated. Aren’t those rumors circulating out there a bit too cruel for her. Alright, we can start now,” Yuri Johnson said directly.
With Yuri Johnson’s speech, the reporters below erupted in excitement. All the reporters raised their hands high. Finn Lewis watched the press conference with satisfaction. This press conference was being live streamed by the media. Of course, the broadcast could only be from YVY’s own media.
Nevertheless, a significant number of people were watching, especially those interested in games. There are quite a few players of YVY’s games. Therefore, many players are watching this press conference. After hearing Yuri Johnson announce the new game, the players watching the video were instantly stirred up.
The bullet screen comments popped up, “Wow, is this for real? A game in the works for ten years? My god, aside from Blizzard, I really can’t believe that other game companies would put in so much effort to make a game. Although W’s games are pretty good, their previous game development never took more than 2 years, right?”
“Awesome! They actually got Kay Lee to do the endorsement! And it’s a hundred million per year! Mr. Johnson, aren’t you being too domineering! I
wonder how those haters are going to criticize Kay Lee now! No company
wants Kay Lee tor endorsement( Are you Kidding me
“Awesome! But there’s one more issue, Mr. Johnson, why do you have to be so ruthless? A press conference for a new game, and all you gave us was just the name, and nothing else? Can’t you reveal even a little bit related to the game?”
The bullet screen comments instantly exploded, but the reporters on the scene weren’t letting Yuri Johnson off the hook. Despite what Yuri Johnson had said, they didn’t care about the game, they were focused on Kay Lee’s news!
“Everyone, please calm down, I can explain,” said Kay Lee, looking at the media below and calmly speaking.
All the media immediately quieted down, waiting for Kay Lee’s explanation. Kay Lee slowly began, “Well, since you all are so interested, I suppose I’ll have to apologize to Mr. Johnson first. Due to my issues, everyone’s attention may have been diverted away from his game at his game release event.”
“Since you all have asked, I’ll speak about it today! First of all, you’re right, I’ve recently been targeted. And it’s not by someone within the industry. As for the reason, it’s quite simple. A friend introduced me to him, he wanted me to be his girlfriend, but I declined. We had an argument over some issues, and so, the current situation happened,” Kay Lee said with a calm expression.
All the media at the scene and everyone watching the live broadcast were utterly astonished when they heard this! All celebrities would typically avoid scandals and similar issues like the plague. Kay Lee’s frank admissions were an unprecedented move!
Not only were the viewers astounded, even the reporters were dumbstruck, showing just how shocking this news was. Those in the industry knew how to distinguish between the truth and the lies in the news, and some even dared not report the truth of Kay Lee’s situation, but she just blatantly spoke about it! The quiet and calm girl sitting there gave every reporter a strange feeling. They had been reporters for so long and had encountered hundreds, if not thousands, of celebrities, but how many dared to face such news head on?
“If you all want to hear, I don’t mind telling you. I have indeed earned quite a lot of money over the years, and I thank my fans for their support. However, due to various reasons recently, many endorsements have been cancelled and some contracts even forcibly terminated because I disagreed with my talent agency. I have paid nearly six hundred million Flame Nation coins in breach fees. Also, as one reporter friend mentioned, am I in debt for one billion to the bank? Yes, I’ve sold almost all the cars and houses under my name to gather enough for the breach fees, and still owe the bank one hundred million.”
Kay Lee sat there, speaking slowly, revealing everything that had happened to her recently in front of dozens of reporters! This turn of events caused the atmosphere at the scene to fall silent. Initially, every reporter had countless questions, but now, they all quietly listened to Kay Lee speak.
The WY cameraman cleverly zoomed in at this moment, showing Kay Lee’s weary face to every live broadcast viewer.
“Being a celebrity is tiring, being a celebrity that everyone pays attention to is even more exhausting. Moreover, I know many people on the internet have accused me of being kept by a sugar daddy and the like. I’ve seen those comments. Many times, I’ve sat alone at night, reading those comments, wanting to cry, but I told myself that I couldn’t. I’m not saying all this to justify anything, but to express one thing: I believe that as long as you are strong enough, you can come out of any predicament,” Kay Lee said.
“Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to express my special thanks to Mr. Johnson for offering me this endorsement opportunity and for paying the endorsement fees for two years upfront! Although I’ve never played games, now that I am endorsing this one, I will commit to playing it. Of course, I’m not saying this just for publicity’s sake. And I can also tell my fans that I will not be announcing my in-game name, but maybe the ordinary player next to you in the game is actually me..”
