Chapter 889: It tastes too much like

After *Naruto* was declared finished, Xu Feng could finally solve something he had been delaying for a long time—

The opening press conference for *Ultraman Tiga*.

Come to think of it, it's bizarre. A show is already half-filmed, and you're holding an opening press conference?

Hmm, mainly because Xu Feng didn't want to steal the spotlight from *Naruto* before.

And now that another big IP has ended, countless fans are eager to know what kind of work will take up the banner of *Naruto*.

So it's urgent, and it's what everyone expects.

Facing countless reporters' interviews, Xu Feng had already prepared his speech, saying familiarly:

"This is a work dedicated to children and teenagers. In a situation where the relationship between people is becoming increasingly cold and distant, we hope that through this show..."

Xu Feng babbled a lot, but it could be summarized in one sentence:

"Our new show is super awesome, everyone come watch it!"

The reporters below blinked, thinking that Xu Feng, this old king of the entertainment industry, is still the same, without a single change.

So they turned their attention to others.

"Jay, how about the new basketball-themed work you mentioned at the movie premiere that you would collaborate with Xu Dao on? Is it planned to be prepared after this *Ultraman Tiga*?"

It would have been better not to mention this. As soon as it was mentioned, Jay Chou's whole face collapsed.

Jay Chou's mood naturally hasn't been good lately.

Because after more than a month of filming.

Xu Feng clearly saw.

This guy's talent for acting is truly limited.

Roles like Shinjou or Takumi Fujiwara, which don't have high acting difficulty or whose character settings fit his own personality, can be played.

Once it involves characters with three-dimensional or complex personalities, he can't handle it.

Not to mention that the acting requirements for Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa are not low.

Furthermore, in terms of personal image, Jay Chou doesn't fit either of them.

Hanamichi Sakuragi is a rebounder.

Jay Chou's build...

So Xu Feng decisively cut Jay Chou.

"His acting and physical conditions aren't good enough, so I kicked him out... Regarding this, I hope Jay's fans won't come to scold me, otherwise I'll make things difficult for him on set."

Reporter:...

So damn arrogant.

You know, ever since the Cai Kunkun ranking incident two years ago, those post-05s and post-10s who didn't know Jay Chou's terrifying influence saw for the first time the terrifying appeal of this middle-aged, overweight man in the entertainment industry.

No matter how much they rank for their idols, they wouldn't dare to provoke Jay Chou.

However, Xu Feng didn't seem to put Jay Chou in his eyes at all.

Yet unexpectedly, Jay Chou's fans watching the live broadcast of the press conference are very calm:

【Not surprising. After all, everyone knows Xu Feng's strict requirements for choosing actors. Liu Tao even divorced her husband for him and didn't get many roles.】

【Although I've been a fan of Jay for ten years, his acting... I can understand, I can understand.】

【Currently, the movies Jay Chou can show off are only *Secret* and *Initial D*. The former is a true-to-life performance, and the latter feels like Xu Feng wrote it for Jay Chou's own personality.】

【To be honest, Xu Feng has really done his best for Jay Chou. If you still spray him after this, you're really an ingrate.】

【I'm very sad that *Naruto* ended, but I'm also afraid that Xu Feng is so productive. Will he retire directly after he's done?】

【Retiring isn't necessary. It's acceptable to rest for five or six years like Jay Chou and release one work.】

【Five or six years is too long, right? Two or three years at most.】

Although Jay Chou also has a good sense of his own acting skills, being publicly criticized by Xu Feng like this is still a bit uncomfortable.

However, the next second, Xu Feng changed the subject:

"But I wrote another basketball-themed script. This one can be given to Jay, it should be very suitable for him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jay Chou, who had been lowering his head in self-isolation, lit up again.

Holy crap, really?

Not to mention Jay Chou himself, even the people in the crew and the reporters present widened their eyes in shock.

Basketball theme?

Wrote another one?

Although they know Xu Feng is awesome, isn't this too exaggerated?

Jay Chou's eyes couldn't help but get a little wet.

He thinks it must be because Xu Feng was afraid he would be sad, so he wrote another basketball script for him.

It must be!

As expected of his good brother, Jay Chou!

Jay Chou decides that after the press conference, he must invite Xu Feng to drink milk tea.

"Xu Dao, will you participate in this show?"

Reporters asked impatiently.

"I probably won't. It's quite appropriate to let the director of *Initial D* participate in the filming. This year's schedule is full, after all, I don't have Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Xu Feng joked.

He prepared a new script for Jay Chou... to be honest, Xu Feng also watched it with interest in his previous life.

But how to say it?

It belongs to the type that is good to watch but not "great."

And there are some plots in it that Xu Feng, a "dog man," doesn't really want to act in.

"Many fans are very worried seeing you so productive this year, suspecting that you plan to retire or enter a semi-retired state like Jay Chou after this year. Is it true?"

Hearing this from the reporter, Jay Chou's expression became a bit strange again.

Why is he involved again?

Although it's not wrong.

After *The Greatest Work*, he really planned not to release an album for ten years.

"Heh, it's just age-limited. After all, many of the protagonists in the works I write are high school or college students. I just want to finish acting these roles before I get too old."

Xu Feng smiled faintly.

If you want to blame someone, blame those Japanese people in the previous life who loved the theme of high school students saving the world so much.

In *Slam Dunk*, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school students, Xu Feng had to magically change them into college students.

And Xu Feng, this iron-straight man, in order to make himself not look as exaggerated as Huang Jiaozhu and the others when wearing school uniforms...
