[Preface]
was written after Li Yifeng "disappeared". I wrote the article on
on the day he "has something happened". It has always been in our draft box and it has not been posted because one of our reporters advised me not to post it when Li Yifeng was at the forefront of the moment. You don't need to take advantage of his "popularity". He will still have many loyal fans to "surround you" you.
Nowadays, his "hotness" has dissipated, and I don't have to bear the infamy of "joining in the fun". I just restore some of the details of that year on the first day of the holiday, on a morning when I was insomnia until dawn.
is not for recording him, but for recording myself.

has a kind of stubborn saying - please get a hammer!
, I am talking about Li Yifeng.
I never thought that one day, I could calmly write a story behind the scenes of interviewing Li Yifeng on a social platform, because I was once so afraid of being humane by Li Yifeng’s fans.
After all, Li Yifeng's people were talking to me back then. If I dared to write this story that was not a story with my own large account, they would let Li Yifeng's fans die of human flesh.
Look, I'm so cowardly. Am I still like a reporter from traditional media?
Standing in front of traffic stars in the entertainment industry, I am really "afraid". I have family, friends, colleagues, and customers, and I don't want to implicate anyone.
is old and I don’t remember every detail that happened back then. But when I recalled, the other party's arrogance made me still tremble.
A star would secretly applaud the bodyguards around him and shout to the reporter, rob him of his phone, don't let him walk out of this room...
Back to the beginning of the matter.
If I remember correctly, it was about Suzhou in early December 2015. Li Yifeng came to Suzhou to promote the movie " Fallen Stars " starring him and Yang Mi . The promotion party was Light. As a local media in Suzhou, I was invited to interview.
interview location was in a hall on the first floor of the five-star hotel in Suzhou - Hyatt Hotel . The place was the one we were helping with, and it was the kind that had to pay, and the reporter didn't have that much face. Before the interview with
, several colleagues specially bought early tickets to watch the movie, with the purpose of better completing the interview with Li Yifeng in the future, so that the questions asked were more targeted.
is a small-scale group interview. At that time, the media I was in was preparing a news portal APP (now this platform is already the leading official media platform in Suzhou). I had previously communicated with the film crew and wanted Li Yifeng to record a verbal broadcast, which not only promotes the movie, but also says hello to the first batch of users of our platform.
film company said at the time that Li Yifeng did not record oral broadcasts. It's okay, I don't force it. This is indeed to respect the stars' own wishes.
Li Yifeng was not late and came to accept an interview with Suzhou media, but it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood that day.
Why did I make this judgment? Because as soon as he entered the room, his eyes were sharp. Looking around, he found that some people were taking pictures of him with their mobile phones. Of course, there were also professional cameras and cameras. Most of the mobile phones were recorded by text reporters and were not used for official media releases.
However, Li Yifeng was already very upset when he stood in the conference room. He asked: Why do you want to take pictures of me with your phone?
Everyone was embarrassed. It's a bit bad opening.
A few years later, when Xiao Zhan came to Suzhou to promote the movie " Zhuxian ", there were also requests that reporters would not allow taking photos with their mobile phones, and one of them was even more excessive, and that female reporters (worrying that they were impersonating fans) were not allowed to take photos with their mobile phones! But the reason why everyone did not "explode" is because this sentence was said by the staff. If one day they are criticized by the media, celebrities can also have a buffer zone, not by him, Xiao Zhan.
straightforward, arrogant, or low emotional intelligence? Here I will not make any comments.
(not a live picture, this is a picture of the interview recorded by CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala)
then entered the regular interview session, unexpectedly, even more embarrassing.
I admit that at that time, the questions asked by the reporters on the scene were indeed very routine and not very innovative.
You should know that some questions are provided to the film crew in advance by reporters, and most celebrities have prepared the answers before entering the interview room.
Embarrassment occurred when a male reporter who had watched the movie in the morning asked a question. The reporter's general idea was to ask Li Yifeng about his relationship with those friends of Jing Boran .
Li Yifeng replied: never contacts.
Later, a reporter asked again what kind of girl Li Yifeng would like very much? Li Yifeng responded to the reporter, can't you ask a question that is somewhat innovative? Then, the point came, and he replied: Just is enough to be a woman. The perfunctory in
's tone can be heard by fools.

reporters no longer ask questions. The stars are angry. If you ask questions again, the scene will only make the scene even more ridiculous.
might as well not ask.
interview, there was a little displeasure.
Suzhou entertainment reporters are actually quite easy to talk to overall. Even if Li Yifeng answers this perfunctory look, they will mostly give movies.
Next, a magical thing happened.
Li Yifeng ran to another door of the room and recorded the broadcast for various cinemas, one after another. The reporter at the front door found that Li Yifeng was not unwilling to record the ID, but was not willing to record it for the media. So he started to discuss with the staff of the publicity and distribution party. Can you fight with Li Yifeng?
Perhaps the voice of the reporters talking too loudly when they fought with the publicity and distribution party, which affected Li Yifeng standing at the back door. So he was very angry and rushed up to accuse the media reporters. I happened to pick up my phone and record his entire strange star status that was not public in front of the camera.

Li Yifeng and his team found that after recording, their tone was eased instantly, but the next second, several of his male bodyguards had already rushed towards me and roared, "Take off that woman's phone, block the door, don't let her (referring to me) go out. "
while saying that the staff around Li Yifeng also began to hold their mobile phones and record the status of our Suzhou reporters in the video.
The two sides "confronted".
Suzhou reporters were very united. Facing the tall and powerful celebrity bodyguards, they immediately surrounded me into a wall to protect me. I immediately put my phone in my bag to prevent being robbed.
Bodyguards and staff rushed over and asked for a tough attitude. I beg me to hand over my phone, otherwise I would never be able to get out of this room. I was afraid at the time, but I didn’t want to be afraid, so I yelled back: In Suzhou, in my hometown, did you still say that I couldn’t get out of the room? Li Yifeng next to
can’t remember who it was, and yelled again, If you don’t hand over your phone, if you dare to send it out, I will let Li Yifeng’s fans die of you.
When all this happened, Li Yifeng stood by and watched coldly, allowing his bodyguard to surround and threaten the reporter.
In those years, celebrities were really praised by capital, fans, and the halo of fame and fortune. Now think about it, although Li Yifeng did not directly participate in the encirclement and "threat" reporters, and did not say in person that he would not allow reporters to walk out of the room, his cold eyes could somewhat explain his own attitude.
Afterwards, I was really angry and afraid, my heart beat hard, and I was completely unhappy to write down the interview manuscript. There was also news from the film crew that they received a "complaint" from Li Yifeng's team, hinting that they would not ask the media where I am to report the celebrity interviews from their promotional and distribution parties in the future.
reporters do not necessarily have to report to celebrities. I also have a lot of positive interview content to write, but Li Yifeng's threatening attitude of refusing to give up afterwards makes people feel that this should be a high-ranking "allowing mentality" that will only say "low emotional intelligence" words like "I won't invite you to interview me" in the future.
things have been going on for many years, and I didn’t want to mention them again.
This time, I really saw Li Yifeng still being stubborn after making a mistake and wanted to sue this and that... How is
now? If he asks for a hammer, does he really think that he can deceive the whole world if he makes a mistake?
stars really don’t do anything wrong, otherwise they will be backfire. The first thing they abandon you is the fans who have truly loved and followed you.
Li Yifeng finally paid the price he deserved for his arrogance and vain. Is
miserable? Of course, it is painful, and there will be countless brand claims waiting for him later.
When I wrote this article, my colleagues sent another message: I still remember the "coward" you were back then.
I hope that celebrities can be like me, be "cowardly", be awe-inspiring in everything, cherish every hard-won present, and be worthy of the fans' love.
has a cause before and a result later. God, everyone knows it.
