Chapter 1172 The Mysterious Grand Project
On June 8, countless fans of the "Idol Project" stayed up all night, waiting for "Shanghe" to reveal the mystery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, on the ninth day, not too many people went to the video store to queue up to buy albums, only the music bookstore located on Xizang Road near Nanjing Road and across the street from the city's Baiyi store would often be entered to ask if they would enter the physical album of the "Idol Project".
The reply was that it would not be available for the time being, but a bonus with a poster and a doll should be released after a while.
Since the beginning of the previous year, because physical records have suffered a cliff-like decline, many physical record stores have closed down, so almost all stars who can release films will now choose to release digital albums that do not require any production costs, after all, this can save a lot of costs.
The reason why Shanghai's music bookstore stands tall is that it sells not only records, but also books and musical instruments, while other single record stores that sell records are not so lucky, and even the record companies themselves do not produce physical albums, how can they survive?
But in Cheng Xiaoyu's view, Huaxia Record Company is really a performance of the mouse's eyes, at this time, as a content producer, the record company has completely lost its bargaining power with online channel dealers, and has become the exploited party in the Internet wave, although the record company has changed in the footsteps of Cheng Xiaoyu over the years, but it is a pity that Su Changhe's death completely interrupted the industrialization process of "Shanghe", which caused Huaxia Record Company to lose its reference and collectively fell into a low ebb.
Traditional record companies such as "Shanghe", "Orange Sky", and "Xinsuo" were forced to transform into economic companies, and used the resources at hand to join the production of TV series, movies and various variety shows.
It's just that brick-and-mortar record stores and small record companies can't resist this sudden cold wave, and they are basically dead.
On June 9th, "Shang He" seemed to have returned to its former glory, and the headquarters in the World Financial Center showed a rare busy scene, all waiting for the release of the new album of "Idol Project" in the afternoon.
At this moment, both reporters and fans are quietly waiting for half past two in the afternoon.
But in fact, the reporters are in the wrong place, this time the new album of the "Idol Project" will only be released on GG Music, and at half past two in the afternoon, all the members of the "Idol Project" will also attend the live broadcast of the GG Music Network, in order not to let the public associate the "Idol Project" with "poison", these key information have not been released to the public.
What is strange this time is that there is really not the slightest rumor about this "big project" that has been released, even if the media has tried all the tricks, they still have not been able to find out any news.
Of course, this is also the reason why Su Weilan is strictly guarded, and this is not really to surprise fans, but to facilitate his stock speculation, as for the Securities Regulatory Commission, Su Weilan has already said hello and paid a lot of price.
By noon on the 9th, the expectations and discussions on the Internet for this "surprise" had reached the highest point, not only fans and passers-by, but also "Orange Sky" and "Xinsuo" were also paying close attention to what "Shanghe" was doing!
The official website of "Shanghe" has not been subjected to such a large traffic pressure for a long time, Liu Xiaojing, who was sitting in front of the computer, couldn't help but turn his head and ask his colleagues next to him, and the well-informed Li Jingjing said: "Jingjing, what kind of big move did you say the company arranged this time?"
Li Jingjing looked at the homepage of her company and said: "How can I, an official the size of a sesame mung bean, know! It is said that apart from the president, only Minister Ma of the production department knows, and even Minister Han of our distribution department does not know what the specific situation is!"
Liu Xiaojing glanced around, after all, the position of the two of them was off, close to the minister's office, no one paid attention to them, so she smiled and said: "Who is that, didn't your good friend Hu Jiawen participate in the production of the MV? You have such a good relationship with her, you haven't revealed anything?"
Li Jingjing turned her head to look at Liu Xiaojing and said in a low voice: "I asked her quietly, in fact, she doesn't know much, she only said that the idol plan will transform this time, and this time the MV shooting is great......
Liu Xiaojing asked quietly again: "Didn't you say who the producer is?"
Li Jingjing shook her head and said: "All the people involved in the production have signed a confidentiality agreement, Mr. Su has spoken, whoever wants to leak half a word about this project will let him sit in prison and never think about it in this life..... You said that Mr. Su let go of such cruel words, who would dare to talk too much?
When Liu Xiaojing heard Li Jingjing say this, her expression immediately changed from excitement to disappointment, she sighed and said with some interest: "Hey, then they all said that the news that Young Master Cheng would come back is fake?"
Li Jingjing rolled her eyes and said, "You are Minister Han's secretary, you should know more than me!"
"It's not that you don't know, now our distribution department is a marginal department, and Minister Han can't even see President Su's face, and when he wants to report to work, he can only find Liu Daxing to convey where he can know such a confidential thing. After a pause, Liu Xiaojing said again: "What news do you know, if you know, just say something, if Young Master Cheng comes back, I won't resign....."
Li Jingjing lowered her head and whispered to Liu Xiaojing mysteriously: "Xiaojing, I know a little bit of news, don't tell anyone else." ”
Seeing Li Jingjing's serious expression, Liu Xiaojing hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry! Don't you understand? ”
Li Jingjing looked up and looked around again, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she attached herself to Liu Xiaojing's ear and said, "I heard that Mr. Su put a lot of stocks out of Shanghe this time, do you want to if Young Master Cheng really wants to come back, Mr. Su will throw the stocks out so easily?"
When Liu Xiaojing heard Li Jingjing's words, she was completely disappointed in her heart, and said, "Then Young Master Cheng won't go back?"
Li Jingjing raised her head, continued to look at the computer and said, "It's hard to say, after all, Shanghe is the brainchild of Mr. Su, I think Young Master Cheng still wants to take Shanghe back." ”
Liu Xiaojing also turned her head to look at the computer and complained: "To be honest, I really miss the time when Young Master Cheng was there, although he was a little busy at that time, but the bonus was more than the salary, which is like now, the bonus is not not said, and the supervisor is still looking for the opportunity to deduct the salary....."
Li Jingjing also wanted to complain, and said: "Who doesn't want Young Master Cheng to come back? The thing I regret the most is that when 'Xichu' sent people, I didn't apply to go to Xichu, and now I can't go if I want to! Look at that Zhou Xiaochan, she was still unhappy when she was seconded in the past, but now she is proud, and we are already one in the sky and one underground, I look at her circle of friends, and show last year's year-end bonus, and she has an ordinary employee who has sent 200,000 yuan! Xichu also organized them to take turns to go to the United States for play and internship, comparing us! Where is it like Mr. Su, Young Master Cheng laid such a good foundation and was trampled like this, I think when Young Master Cheng was there, I even thought that our 'Shanghe' would become an international enterprise, but now? I'm embarrassed to say that I worked in 'Shanghe'....."
Liu Xiaojing nodded and said very complainingly: "If I hadn't expected Young Master Cheng to come back, I would have resigned a long time ago, let alone 'Xichu', the 'Sound of Rain' established by Young Master Cheng is also a music company, but in two years, it will acquire 'EMI Baidai' and become one of the top four music companies ......in the world."
The two of them were chatting energetically, when the table was knocked twice, and a serious male voice said, "What are you two talking about here?
Liu Xiaojing and Li Jingjing looked up and saw that it was their boss, Han Dong, the head of the distribution department, and the two hurriedly stood up from their chairs, Liu Xiaojing blushed and said: "We are talking about the company's big plan This time the effect is very good, and now the discussion on the Internet is very hot...."The name Cheng Xiaoyu is almost a "forbidden word" in the company, no one will discuss it openly, although the low-level employees will talk about it in private, but they dare not talk about it in the company.
The last Minister Cao Danian, who often mentioned Cheng Xiaoyu and asked the company to find a way to invite Cheng Xiaoyu back, has been forced to resign.
"When you go to work, you have to work hard, don't talk about some gossip that you don't have. Han Dong glanced at the two of them, and then walked towards his office with his hands behind his back.
Liu Xiaojing and Li Jingjing looked at each other and stuck out their tongues, then Han Dong turned his head again, and the two of them immediately looked serious again, Han Dong said: "Xiaojing, you go to my office and get Junshan Silver Needle to help me make a cup of tea......"
Liu Xiaojing hurriedly walked out of her seat and said, "Yes...."
Han Dong also heard what Liu Xiaojing and Li Jingjing were talking about, for his secretary Liu Xiaojing, this smart girl, Han Dong still likes it more, when Liu Xiaojing followed him into the office to get tea, Han Dong suddenly asked, "Do you really want to resign?"
Liu Xiaojing smiled awkwardly and said: "Minister Han, you don't know, my original interest was movies, it was my mother who wanted me to come to work in 'Shanghe', I originally wanted to enter the production department, but by mistake I entered the distribution department to be your secretary, you are very good to me, and the company's treatment is also very good, so I will continue to do it, but now I really want to chase my dreams....."
Han Dong sat down in his chair and nodded with a smile: "It's okay, who doesn't pursue it!, but I suggest you wait, since Director Cheng has acquired EMI Baidai, he will definitely come back....."
Most ordinary employees will call Cheng Xiaoyu as Master Cheng, while most executives will still call Cheng Xiaoyu Director Cheng.
Han Dong is actually not very confident when he says this, why don't he want Cheng Xiaoyu to come back, now Shanghe has become Su Weilan's communication tool, this is something that the top management knows, but in order to live, they can only turn a blind eye, but it's a pity that the company was once so brilliant.
Liu Xiaojing cautiously replied: "Then I will insist on finishing this year..... If Minister Han doesn't have anything else, I'll make you tea!"
Han Dong looked at the table below and it was already two o'clock, so he nodded and said, "Go!"
At 2:25, he was going to the conference room on the 67th floor to watch the live video of the press conference, and now there was still a little time, and he was going to see what was going on the Internet.
The official website seems to be in a state of explosion, opening a little slowly, Han Dong can only shake his head and sigh, Su Weilan doesn't care about these details at all, unlike when Cheng Xiaoyu was there, he always paid attention to the details, and what he cared about most was the user experience.
Han Dong has only now discovered Cheng Xiaoyu's awesomeness, Cheng Xiaoyu is not only talented, but also much more advanced than them in terms of marketing concepts, but now he finds that these things are useless.
For this "big project", Han Dong knew that it was done with "GG Music", and he was not very clear about the details, because the distribution of digital records was handed over to GG Music Network, and physical records could not enter the market in the form of a collector's edition until two months later, so there is basically nothing for him now.
In desperation, Han Dong could only choose to open "Whisper" and enter the "Idol Project New Album" discussion group, at this time, as the time approached, there were more and more messages, and the updates were getting faster and faster, but it showed that there were more than 100 new messages in dozens of seconds.
Han Dong clicked and chose to sort the messages by the number of likes and comments, instead of updating the time, and the page of the "Whisper" discussion group was refreshed, and it came out immediately, and he couldn't help but sigh that the various settings and interfaces of "Whisper" were too user-friendly.
Han Dong pulled down with the mouse and saw the message with the most likes and comments, which was sent by a public account called "Our Times", which specializes in posting private videos of "Idol Project" and street photography: "This year is" The seventh year of the establishment of the idol plan, the fifth year of the debut, although the girls have lost a lot, we have also lost a lot, but thanks to the remaining four original intentions have remained the same, once we said that we would be together forever for ten years, twenty years, this life will always be together, maybe it has become impossible, but our lotus root fans have always been there. Fame doesn't matter! Music source doesn't matter! Grades don't matter! After the experience of winter, you will definitely transform into the most beautiful butterfly, now I can still hear the girls singing, as long as I can still see the girls dancing on the stage, it is enough! Today may be the day of the transformation of the girls, and tonight I pray that all the lotus root fans can have a good dream! Well! Everyone will be happy!"
Seeing such a heartwarming message and receiving millions of likes, Han Dong, an old man in his forties, was a little moved, Cheng Xiaoyu left them such a good hand, but unfortunately he didn't play it well.
The second most liked and replied was a post by a person named "Recording Engineer" who seemed to be from the music industry, which read: "According to my colleague who 'went to the river', it is not Su Yuxi's 'idol plan', it is said that Goddess Su is now in the capital most of the time, reading and studying at home, and rarely even goes out, and Goddess Su has no intention of making a comeback." Why do I say that? Because Mr. Cheng's 'Sound of Rain' is acquiring 'EMI Baidai', and according to the path of 'Xichu', he has completed the global layout of the film, and will definitely start the global layout of music, so Mr. Cheng is definitely going to buy Shanghe, although Mr. Cheng denied this, but it is just to reduce the resistance to the acquisition of 'Shanghe', I once again set up a post as proof:' Shanghe's big project must be Director Cheng's return, not a live broadcast!"
The third person who likes it is a netizen called "In the Mood for Love", this person is obviously an "Idol Project" black, a fan of "Boys Over Flowers", and mocked it: "Do your Spring and Autumn Dream! Teacher Cheng has come forward to deny that he will not acquire 'Shanghe', you are still here to deceive yourself, the outdated combination of 'Idol Project' was disbanded early, why bother to survive here? Last year, the major awards were not received, and now it will only be hyped in the name of Teacher Cheng, right?"
...............
"If it is really Mr. Cheng's return to 'Shanghe', then our big 'idol plan' will return to the top just around the corner!
"Assuming that Director Cheng and the 'Idol Project' are really combined, there will be another good show in the Chinese music scene now!
"Pattern powder is dead, Made, if you don't go to the river and kill yourself and drive Teacher Cheng away, will it be your turn to talk here?"
"I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for today in my lifetime, but I didn't expect to see Mr. Cheng return to Shanghe and write songs for the 'Idol Project' again!"
"I think about the songs that Mr. Cheng wrote for the 'Idol Project', the MV he shot is so classic, and then look at the songs sung by the goddesses now, it's miserable!"
"Do you think Teacher Cheng will go back to Shanghe? Why do I think it's not reliable? Could it be the hype of Shanghe? Didn't Teacher Cheng make a statement?"
"Upstairs is still too.young.too.simple.sometimes.native, Mr. Cheng himself did not come forward, it was the CEO of 'Voice of Rain' who said that there was no plan to acquire 'Shanghe', but this does not mean that Mr. Cheng will not write songs for 'Idol Project'?
"Mr. Cheng has never let us down, is the new album of 'Guilty Crown' in its mouth?
"Damn! Why hasn't it arrived at half past two! I'm already in a hurry!"
"I don't know what kind of new song Director Cheng will give to the 'Idol Project'! My heart is beating so hard, I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it! My big 'Idol Project' is finally going to raise my eyebrows again!"
...............
Han Dong scoffed at such expectations, he knew that these news were hype and rhythm, and he continued to look down, in addition to tearing up with "pollen", he basically praised the "idol plan", in addition to speculating on what "Shanghe" would do, most of them were going to be tied to Shanghe and Cheng Xiaoyu, obviously someone was playing tricks.
Han Dong knew why, as one of Shanghe's executives, he guessed that maybe the "Idol Project" invited "Poison" to be the producer, otherwise Su Weilan would not have made such a big battle, and "GG Music Network" would not have been so cooperative, and Su Weilan should still not be able to do such a thing as a cannon.
But Han Dong is not 100% sure, after all, "Poison" has never written a song for anyone, not to mention that this poison debuted earlier than the "Idol Project", after so many years, he has never appeared behind the scenes, you can imagine how strange the character is, it is normal not to write songs for others, and you can't speculate with common sense.
Han Dong just felt that this possibility was the greatest.
Even if Poison helps the 'Idol Project' write songs, Han Dong feels that it is impossible to compare with Cheng Xiaoyu, after all, Cheng Xiaoyu's creation is a perfect combination of music, picture and dance, is the poison done?
He didn't believe that there was another person in this world who could be as amazing as Cheng Xiaoyu, of course he knew that the poison was very powerful, but he didn't think that the poison could be compared with Cheng Xiaoyu.
Han Dong glanced at the time, it was about to be 2:25, so he got up and took the Junshan silver needle that Liu Xiaojing had soaked for him, and walked towards the conference room, and finally the mystery was revealed!
