"All right, as the room quiets down, let me tell you some sensational news," Ye Chen rubbed his little hands, feeling a bit nervous.

"Ye Chen, mind your limits!" Zhang Xinlan warned uneasily upon seeing his demeanor.

"OK!" Ye Chen sent her a secret signal.

"I am Ye Chen, and I endorse Ye Film Industry," Ye Chen pointed at the nameplate in front of him.

"Click!"

"Click!" A number of journalists were busy snapping photos with their cameras.

"Zhang Xinlan and I have been childhood sweethearts, and now we are in a romantic relationship; we are even planning to have children," Ye Chen said.

"Some of you must be wondering, 'Zhang Xinlan is an entertainment goddess, and you're just a young man, what do you have that qualifies you to deserve such a perfect goddess?'" Ye Chen began his lead-up, ready to boast extravagantly.

"Many of you might want to know exactly who I am, what my worth is, right?" Ye Chen continued to set the stage. "Actually, I am a super-rich second-generation; I come from a very powerful family!"

"As Ye Chen exposed himself, he really proved to be top-notch rich second-generation; after all, being able to casually mention hundreds of millions means he's truly elite!" The circle of journalists was stirring with his words.

"My family is extremely wealthy, enough to rival countries; I am the primary heir of the family, and from a young age, I was trained in rigorous secrecy, so no one can find out my background!"

Ye Chen fixed his gaze, swept it across the audience, displaying a fierce aura, and concocted an impressively fabulous identity for himself.

"This naughty guy, always causing trouble and deceiving people," Zhang Xinlan chuckled softly, her heart flipped over by Ye Chen's vivid speech.

However, as Ye Chen spun his tales, the whole room fell silent, their faces showing anticipation; some entertainment journalists jotted down notes in their books, and others even started recording—it was clear they were curious about Ye Chen's background.

"From the moment I was born, I was high above the rest, quite extraordinary; the servants in our family all called me a male god. However, I am inherently indifferent, not caring for these empty titles," Ye Chen continued to fool the audience, watching their stunned expressions, finding it amusing, and thus he kept going.

"Everyone envies the billions in wealth my family owns; yet, I regard money as mere dirt, because we don't even store our money in the bank, we stack it up at home! Every month we need to build many houses just to store the money, which really bothers me!"

"Our house is so large that one night, I was woken up needing to pee, so I drove my Rolls-Royce to the bathroom. After driving for several minutes, I still couldn't find the bathroom—I realized I was lost..."

"Pff!"

Ye Chen's speech was serious and solemn, but someone started to spit out water, thinking, "Isn't this joker a comedian brought in by a monkey?"

When Ye Chen first started making his claims, even if some were extravagant, they weren't entirely shocking and were still within the crowd's tolerance.

However, the story Ye Chen was now spinning was too bizarre to describe; it was unbelievable.

Damn, driving a Rolls-Royce to go to the bathroom is already a big enough boast, who would have thought that after driving for several minutes, you would still be lost...

"Perhaps you may ask, 'With your family being so rich, why not put a toilet in your bedroom?' I must clarify that I originally had a toilet in my bedroom, a 24k gold toilet, shining so brightly every day that it hurt my eyes. In a fit of anger, I went to Lan Xiang Technical School and got an excavator to dig away the golden toilet..."

While speaking, Ye Chen broke into an innocent and carefree laugh, as if reminiscing about a wonderful childhood. However, his guileless appearance had some people in the audience already laughing out loud.

"Ye Chen, let's not mess around, this is a press conference, not a fool's gathering!" Zhang Xinlan signaled Ye Chen with her eyes.

"Many people think I'm joking, many think I'm just a clown, but let me tell you, you're all wrong!"

Upon seeing Zhang Xinlan's threatening gaze, Ye Chen started to boast even more ambitiously, aiming to fool everyone completely.

"..."

Ye Chen's expression was stern, not joking at all, but thinking about his words made everyone want to burst out laughing.

"Perhaps my words are too shocking for the moment, and you might not be able to accept them, but I will be able to prove it soon," Ye Chen said. "Chu Yanran, Yi Shuiqing, Liu Zhenglong, You Tianyi, and some other various people—you all know them, right?"

"..."

The people present were still listening, and entertainment journalists were eager to go back and break the news that the chairman of Ye Film Industry is a clown.

However, Ye Chen's words had piqued their interest; they were clueless about those various other people.

But Chu Yanran, Yi Shuiqing, Liu Zhenglong, Li Haiping, You Tianyi, these prominent figures, they all knew.

Chu Yanran is an international magnate, one of the most respected persons in Huaxia.

Yi Shuiqing was a remarkable person, a living legend in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.

Li Haiping, Liu Zhenglong, and You Tianyi—these three were top bosses, the most powerful figures in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.

"In ten days, Ye Film Industry will open, and all these people will come to support it, neither more nor less!" Ye Chen boasted arrogantly. "Even if I don't send out invitations, they will come because not coming would mean disrespecting me, Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen's words were simply reckless, leaving everyone speechless.

However, several heavyweight figures at the event knew that Ye Chen was not talking nonsense.

Ye Chen was the youngest boss in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, but he had ascended to his position recently, and his reputation circulated only within top circles, inaccessible to the entertainment journalists.

Yet, Ye Chen named so many top figures and spoke in front of the media, causing some to doubt yet mysteriously start to believe him.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, this young boss was definitely no ordinary man!

"In ten days, you will see whether I am telling the truth or not!" Ye Chen said with a smile. "In ten days, Ye Film Industry will officially enter the entertainment industry. Ye Film Industry will launch several films, all of which are masterpieces, featuring major entertainment stars like Li Yingjie, Liu Yingxiong, Liu Shihua, and Li Yan!"

"What, didn't Li Yingjie retire from acting? How could he star in a film!"

"Liu Yingxiong has also faded from the film industry; it's hardly likely he would continue to tirelessly act as a lead, right?"

Ye Chen's words were immediately met with skepticism. Liu Yingxiong was fifty years old, lacking the energy and physical strength of his youth. Li Yingjie, a master in martial arts indifferent to fame and fortune, had previously announced that joining Ye Film Industry was only to support it, yet in Ye Chen's words, they were now acting in films.

"Nothing is impossible!" Ye Chen turned toward Liu Yingxiong and Li Yingjie, the two martial arts superstars. "Next year, I plan to launch two films and want you both to decide on starring in them. How about it?"

"Haha, it's been a long time since I last acted. Ye Chen, you need to find me a good script, one with plenty of fight scenes!" Li Yingjie laughed heartily, clearly stating his attitude.

"I also just happened to want to act opposite Li Yingjie." Liu Yingxiong also smiled and agreed.

"This!"

The attitude of these two superstar kings caused a stir among everyone present, and they looked at Ye Chen differently.

"There are a few more things I want to say to the artists of Ye Film Industry!"

Ye Chen looked at the artists present, ranging from hugely popular A-list stars, quite famous B-listers, to mostly newly debuted artists.

"The entertainment industry is a murky water filled with dirty dealings, both online and offline!" Ye Chen bluntly broke the current status of the industry. "Female stars who climb the ladder in the industry are subjected to unspoken rules, having to sleep with bosses, having to sleep with directors."

"It's not easy for male artists to rise either, the lucky ones just do an all-nighter, spending a night with an older woman, the unlucky male artists, on the other hand, have to pick up the soap for bosses with peculiar preferences!"

"This is the filth within the entertainment industry!"

Ye Chen spoke fiercely, exposing the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Despite the presence of many media journalists, Ye Chen did not hold back at all, shocking some people. Was this young boss trying to shake up the industry?

"However, I am glad for you because you chose Ye Film Industry, where you will not encounter any unspoken rules!" Ye Chen's voice rang out powerfully.

"In Ye Film Industry, you will not have to do anything you dislike!"

"Of course, your careers will still be successful; as long as you have the ability and can create value, Ye Film Industry will promote you and invest resources to make you famous!"

"Moreover, no matter which artist has signed with Ye Film Industry, I will ensure that you are not disturbed at all in the entertainment industry!"

"You don't want to attend unnecessary networking dinners? Then you don't have to. You don't want to be subject to unspoken rules? Then you won't be. You don't need to be afraid of offending anyone, because I will take care of everything for you!" Ye Chen said, displaying a domineering and mysteriously charismatic presence.

By this point, the venue was already abuzz, whether it was the artists, the journalists, or others, everyone was utterly shocked at this moment by Ye Chen's audacious words!

The entertainment industry is a dazzling stage, but beneath that brilliance also lies dirtiness, including unspoken rules—that is the rule of the industry!

However, Ye Chen's speech was about challenging the rules of the industry, cleansing it of its filth.

Those who could survive the unspoken rules of the industry were esteemed figures, including top bosses; the relationships involved were too fierce and complex. What made Ye Chen think he had the right to challenge such a formidable collective?

"Perhaps some will doubt, doubt what right I have to say these words, what right I have to protect you!" Some were bewildered, some disdainful, some scoffed, but Ye Chen just smiled lightly. "As for that, I won't explain much. On the day Ye Film and Television Company opens, you'll see whether I have that qualification or not!"

"So, to the artists of my company, coming to Ye Film Industry means that you only need to show yourself, display your value, and leave the rest to me, to Ye Film Industry!"

Ye Chen looked at the artists of Ye Film Industry, his voice ringing with authority and seriousness, presenting a completely different demeanor from earlier, now providing a force of trust.
