AFVSIBS ### Chapter 201: Understanding the Basic Rules of "Chinese and Foreign Music Concert"

What Wan Fangfang meant by "arranging everything" was purchasing advanced translation equipment for Zhou Chen. This device could translate speech in real-time for Zhou Chen.

Many top-tier celebrities aren't proficient in foreign languages, so their agencies arrange similar equipment for them when communicating with foreigners.

“Thank you, Sister Fangfang, but there's no need. I can speak foreign languages,” Zhou Chen responded.

In his previous life in the entertainment industry, Zhou Chen was well-educated. After gaining fame, he had professionally studied foreign languages to better participate in international events.

So, when it came to foreign languages, he could handle them with ease.

“Impressive, you can speak foreign languages. You really are a multi-talented individual.”

Wan Fangfang gave him a thumbs-up with a look of admiration.

She was increasingly impressed by Zhou Chen—not only was he handsome, but also exceptionally talented.

If not for his peculiar personality, he could be considered the perfect man in the entertainment industry.

No, to be precise, he could be considered the perfect man in the entire Blue Star world.

She even thought that if Zhou Chen ever invited her to his room one night, she might agree without hesitation.

It's quite common for female agents to occasionally stay with male stars while on business trips, a situation very familiar in the entertainment industry. As a seasoned agent, Wan Fangfang was well aware of this.

However, she knew Zhou Chen wasn't that kind of person; he was a unique presence in the entertainment industry.

After a brief chat with Zhou Chen, Wan Fangfang returned to her room. Zhou Chen continued strolling in the Sofitel hotel's courtyard, enjoying the night scenery.

One must admit, high-end places offer a superior environment. At least, there were no random noises or unexpected disturbances.

This was why Zhou Chen was determined to earn enough money to buy a villa. He wanted a good environment without the worry of being disturbed.

Around 11 PM, he took the elevator back to his room, not bothering to check his phone, and went straight to bed.

In his previous life, he had suffered from cervical spondylosis due to his phone addiction. In this life, he avoided using his phone whenever possible.

The next morning, right after he finished washing up, Wan Fangfang came to find him, suggesting they have breakfast together.

“Sister Fangfang, do we have any activities planned with the program team today?”

While having breakfast, Zhou Chen curiously asked.

“We're going to Asu TV to get familiar with the performance venue for 'Chinese and Foreign Music Concert' and understand the basic rules of the show. After that, there’s nothing scheduled for the afternoon. Why, do you want to go somewhere? I can accompany you,” Wan Fangfang replied.

“I'd like to visit some local scenic spots. It's rare to be in Asu City.”

Zhou Chen's plan was to take care of business when necessary and explore Asu City in his free time.

“No problem, I'll accompany you this afternoon. I've been to Asu City a few times and am quite familiar with the local attractions.”

Zhou Chen nodded, agreeing to the plan.

So, after finishing breakfast, they took a taxi to Asu TV.

Director Cheng Qiang and his assistant were already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Zhou Chen and Wan Fangfang arrive, they immediately walked over to greet them, exchanging pleasantries with handshakes.

“Director Cheng, are all the other artists coming here today as well?” Wan Fangfang asked curiously.

“They’re expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. Initially, my plan was for all of you to come together then. But since you arrived in Asu City yesterday, I thought you might as well come today to get acquainted with the place. On the day after tomorrow, you can either come again or choose not to,” Director Cheng explained.

“I see. Then we’ll get familiar with the place today and skip coming over the day after tomorrow. We’ll come back when the program is about to start,” Wan Fangfang replied, knowing Zhou Chen’s preference, she answered according to his thoughts.

“Alright, let’s go inside and sit for a while. I’ll have the staff show you around the venue and explain the detailed rules of the program.”

Cheng Qiang, being the chief director of "Chinese and Foreign Music Concert," naturally wouldn’t involve himself in the minor details. So, after escorting them to the lounge for a brief rest, he had the staff take over.

Through the staff’s introduction, Zhou Chen gained a preliminary understanding of the "Chinese and Foreign Music Concert."

There are twelve artists participating in the concert, coming from various countries worldwide. Domestically, it was just Zhou Chen and a female singer named Lin Wenwen.

Thanks to Wan Fangfang’s introduction, Zhou Chen also got to know Lin Wenwen. Lin Wenwen, 25 years old, rose to fame by winning "The Voice." Since her debut, she has held numerous concerts, participated in various variety shows, and released many excellent songs, establishing herself as a top-tier celebrity in China.

“Mr. Zhou, is there anything else you’d like to know about our program's rules?”

After the introduction, the staff member asked Zhou Chen with a smile.

“According to what you just explained, there will be six episodes of the ‘Chinese and Foreign Music Concert,’ correct?”

“Yes, each episode has a different theme. Since the participating artists come from various countries, we plan to create songs and perform talents based on each country’s cultural characteristics or significant humanistic sentiments,” the staff member confirmed.

“Alright, I have no issues on my end.”

No matter the theme, Zhou Chen was confident he could handle it with the vast repository of entertainment works from Earth in his memory. So, he wasn’t worried.

Since the "Chinese and Foreign Music Concert" agreed to start at six in the evening, he wasn’t concerned about the number of episodes as long as it didn’t disrupt his good habit of going to bed early and waking up early.

“Great, I’ll send you a basic introduction to our program later. It will include my contact information, so feel free to call me if you have any questions. However, I can’t disclose the creative themes for each episode in advance because I don’t know them myself.”

“Ms. Li, don’t worry. Zhou Chen would never do such a thing. He will follow all the program’s rules just like the other artists,” Wan Fangfang assured.

“Sorry, I was just joking. I know Mr. Zhou’s character well because I’m a fan of his too,” the staff member explained with a smile.

“Thank you. If there’s nothing else, may we leave now?”

“Director Cheng meant to return at noon to have lunch with you. You can rest here, have some tea, and join him for lunch later.”

Wan Fangfang looked at Zhou Chen, indicating she respected his decision.

“We appreciate Director Cheng’s hospitality, but we have other plans for lunch. So, there’s no need for us to stay,” Zhou Chen declined, planning to go out and taste the local cuisine.

Otherwise, eating with Cheng Qiang and his team would feel uncomfortable.

“Alright, we respect your decision. I’ll explain it to Director Cheng when he returns.”

“Thank you.”

Zhou Chen expressed his thanks briefly, then left Asu TV with Wan Fangfang.

“Zhou Chen, what do you have in mind for lunch?”

“Let’s have winter melon pigeon soup,” Zhou Chen replied.
