Chapter 774: Crying Again

On November 13, 2008, the second expansion of the online game World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, was fully launched on servers in Europe and North America, and attracted countless fans for a while, and by the end of 2008, the global World of Warcraft paid users had exceeded 11.5 million, even people who don't like to play games have seen the game's promotional video.

However, in Chinese mainland, there was no news of the update of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and the reason for this was that the previous agency could not renew the contract from Activision Blizzard...... In other words, World of Warcraft players in Chinese mainland are facing a situation where World of Warcraft will be discontinued after June 2009.

The reason for this is that because of some problems in the chain of interests, Vivendi Group had to ask Activision Blizzard to stop renewing the contract with the previous agents in China, and the root cause lies in the General Motors Group, which is struggling to survive and needs a loan to slow down.

To put it simply, GM Group has thought of many ways to save itself, one of which is to ask Vivendi Group, which has a stake in NBCUniversal like GM, to increase its capital. But Vivendi naturally couldn't do it, but Vivendi used his relationship with China's banking community to help GM Group contact a loan from China, so GM let Vivendi go, but the Chinese loan naturally has commercial conditions...... Well...... Well, that's all there is to it, anyway, NBCUniversal, like most German media, was also an anti-China vanguard, but compared to Germany, the most anti-China country in Europe, because the Beijing Olympics were very successful, they simply closed the sports section of the Spiegel newspaper for a short time, and after the Beijing Olympics, NBCUniversal's position changed quite a lot.

And Phoebe specially created for the purpose of collecting and analyzing global network information, Coos, naturally notified Phoebe of the news a long time ago, and even helped Phoebe analyze: three months of suspension of service will make at least five million Chinese Warcraft players fall into a situation where there is a lack of major entertainment pastimes, and it is recommended to use this opportunity to let Girls' Generation embed their own image into Activision Blizzard's World of Warcraft through the channel of Universal Music.

Yes, this proposal had been submitted to Phoebe about four months earlier, and Phoebe naturally took it seriously - in fact, she had Barbara hold the engagement ceremony during this time, in addition to the reasons mentioned before, and in addition to the reasons mentioned before, it was to have a good talk with the general people.

Girls' Generation needs the resources of Universal Pictures and NBCUniversal under General Motors, just as Girls' Generation needs the resources of Universal Music and Activision Blizzard under Vivendi, but Phoebe knows that Iapetus alone can't suppress Vivendi, after all, Vivendi is still a European financial capital-based group, not an American industrial capital group like GM.

As for whether Titan will lose anything in this matter, of course not. For this little demand for girlhood is not worth discussing formally in the eyes of the multinational corporation, a conversation of less than sixty seconds at a small party after an engagement ceremony can settle the matter, to be precise, less important than a swing on the golf course of Ebrun.

In fact, everyone in the circle who knows that Phoebe is the boss behind the scenes thinks that Phoebe stays in girlhood as a personal hobby, just like some people like to play games, some people like to sing and dance, some people like to smoke cigars, and some people like to play golf.

So,Less than two days after the new song of Girls' Generation was released,Saman all the people in the company were stunned to learn a news - Barbara, who hadn't shown up for nearly a month,Help Girls' Generation contact a super high-quality resource,Activision Blizzard, which is also extremely famous in South Korea,Suddenly want to get the right to use Girls' Generation's image,It is said that they want to use the Girls' Generation experience in the game Northrend continent as a model,Create an epic quest chain - of course, According to Activision Blizzard's contract blueprint, it is said that there will be a Celestial Knights in the neutral camp on the continent of Northrend, dedicated to resisting the Lich King, led by ten girls.

To be honest, this news not only blinded the Yamashita of the company, but also the members of Girls' Generation, who really didn't know anything...... Well, when everyone finally focused on Phoebe, Phoebe shrugged and said, "Barbara said before she left that she would surprise us, but she didn't tell me the details." ”

Phoebe is telling the truth, Barbara really didn't tell Phoebe the details, because the details were said by Phoebe to Barbara, of course, after listening to the details, Barbara did say that she would surprise the members of Girls' Generation when she came back - Phoebe never lies.

So, the members all believed Phoebe's words - except for Sunny - and hurried to call Barbara to find out what was going on.

Although everyone doesn't play World of Warcraft, they also know the influence of World of Warcraft in South Korea and even the world, even if the response is slow, they can faintly feel that once this contract is signed, so that after the game image based on their image and story appears in World of Warcraft, it is impossible for Girls' Generation not to become a world-class group.

This incident can naturally be regarded as a happy event, but as I said just now, the whole company is blinded, no one is happy, no one is unhappy, but Girls' Generation has fallen into a state of almost hysteria, and it can't calm down.

In fact, it was more of an emotional catharsis when the members were urging each other to call Barbara, so the call didn't go out at all, because soon after, everyone was crying.

This time the crying was really too late, only Phoebe and Sunny didn't keep up with the team, Phoebe because she didn't need to cry all the time, and Sunny, because she found out that Phoebe didn't say everything, so she was distracted, so she didn't think of many reasons to cry like the other members.

Girls' Generation has been under as much pressure recently as it has been since last year's lights-out incident.

On the one hand, they found that the company began to let them fully switch to the sexy route, and what this means for female artists will not be repeated, anyway, it has caused a lot of pressure on them to mature.

On the other hand, at the upcoming platter concert, no one can say whether they will still be treated like last year, and people will naturally be afraid when faced with the unknown, and the pressure will naturally surge.

On the other hand, the performance of the members of the company's new girl group is in everyone's eyes, and it is obvious that the company attaches the same importance to them as when Girls' Generation first debuted, which makes the members of Girls' Generation, who are about to become old people who have debuted for three years, naturally feel a lot of pressure.

On the other hand, in the market environment, the girl group is really as Phoebe said last year, like mushrooms after a rain, new groups debut every week, the women's idol market began to enter the Warring States Period, and they have been accompanied by black spots since their debut, and they are likely to be replaced by anyone in this situation, especially the company has been suppressing the most capable Phoebe, making Girls' Generation unable to compete with other groups in many ways - of course, although everyone understands this in private, But everyone also understands that the company's suppression of Phoebe is actually to distribute opportunities as fairly as possible within the group, otherwise with Phoebe's conditions and abilities, Girls' Generation can be turned into a one-person combination in minutes, fortunately, Phoebe has always been willing to take care of the overall situation.

It can be said that although it seems that 09 years have made girls' generation much better, but in fact, in the places where the spotlight can't be found, they have a harder life than last year, and the most important thing is that the juniors behind them are catching up, so that they have no time to think carefully about what they want - the most obvious example is that Yuna has to take on some images that are not very suitable for her in order to maintain the group's reputation in the TV drama industry...... Well, that's the end of it, lest rational analysis be seen as black again.

Therefore, on the surface, the girls' generation is developing well, but the members are actually more worried than last year, especially when the date is getting closer and closer to the day that they will never forget—this kind of pressure cannot be shaken off by just thinking about it.

But now, this resource sent by Barbara, thousands of miles away, has indeed given them a great respite, it can be said that after receiving this contract from Activision Blizzard, they can completely get rid of the shadow they have always had, and they can look at all the combinations that debuted last year and this year with a lofty attitude, and even the WG of JYP, which is called their old enemy by the outside world, can no longer stand on the same level as them.

Although everyone didn't know the details of the contract at this time, let alone what kind of image they would appear in the game - for example, whether Taeyeon and Sunny would appear as cute dwarf races or something like that - everyone was relieved and cathartic.

Sunny didn't cry at first, but when she saw everyone crying, she quickly understood why everyone was crying, so even though she knew it was nothing to cry about, it was all Phoebe's girl behind the scenes, and it wasn't luck at all, but she couldn't help but cry along - but this time it was different, she buried her head in Phoebe's chest and cried.

To be honest, the crying of the members of Girls' Generation made Kim Doo-seok and other assistants realize that they were actually under a lot of pressure, but their assistants didn't notice it at all - in fact, after experiencing last year's lights-out incident, the members of Girls' Generation have learned how to withstand pressure, which is why Kim Doo-seok and his team, when guiding Girls' Generation, feel that it is smoother than Kim Joo-young's era, because everyone is not a child anymore.

Faced with the situation that the members suddenly all cried bitterly, Kim Doo-seok and the assistant team didn't know whether to stop them or not - you know, they were still wearing singing costumes at this time! Sunny in particular, buried his head in Phoebe's chest, and his clothes were wet!

If it were Kim Joo-young, I'm afraid they would find a way to stop everyone from crying at this time, and at least grab Sunny's head out of Phoebe's chest - Phoebe's bust has reached 95A, but the scale of 95A is not much smaller than that of 83C, especially after their current sexy-emphasizing singing costumes are squeezed.

But because Kim Doo-seok is Phoebe's younger brother, he has no intention of messing around in front of Phoebe at all, especially after Barbara brought international-level high-quality resources to Girls' Generation, he was even more daring, so even if an assistant whispered a reminder not to stain the singing costume, Kim Doo-seok still didn't say anything, just looked at Phoebe helplessly.

Holding Sunny's head and patting her on the back, Phoebe naturally won't forget what she should do, just like now, she won't try to comfort other sisters, because a few days ago, Sister Sun had chosen the route of dispersing the authority of Girls' Generation, so Phoebe wouldn't be the one to reunite her authority, so she only cared about comforting Sunny.

And after Phoebe found out about Kim Doo-seok's slightly pleading emotions, she suddenly felt a little difficult, because the emotions of her sisters she felt were all unsettled for a while, unless an authority figure stood up and said something - yes, Kim Doo-seok was indeed an authority figure, but she didn't notice the pressure on the members of Girls' Generation at the beginning, which doomed him to persuade the members of Girls' Generation at this time, it was not convincing at all - for example, this is like when the class committee of a class is elected, Suddenly, a transfer student who had just transferred said that he wanted to be the class president......

So, Phoebe gave Kim Doo-seok a hint like this: Stop the assistants and let everyone vent.

Although Kim Doo-seok didn't understand why he did this, he really believed in Phoebe very much now, so he immediately waved his hand and signaled everyone not to bother with the members of Girls' Generation, in his explanation afterwards: "Let them cry well, lest they don't cry happily, and they will have to cry again in a few days." -- In a few days, it means that a platter concert will be held in a few days.

On the other hand, Kim Doo-seok personally went to explain to the PD and others of the music program, saying that due to his own mistakes, Girls' Generation could not participate in the first and second rehearsals, but he assured that Girls' Generation would not make any mistakes in the official performance when the live broadcast was delayed, and if Girls' Generation didn't do it, he was willing to completely leave the Saman company as an explanation to the program team - many people felt that he was responsible, and they also felt that he was a member who trusted Girls' Generation, but Kim Doo-seok took the initiative to confess to Phoebe afterwards, he said this, It's entirely because he trusts Phoebe's judgment, and if Phoebe says that the sisters are okay, then he will also think that the members of Girls' Generation are okay.

But Phoebe knew in her heart that Kim Doo-seok should have seen the larger resource system that Phoebe could influence, so he knew that even if he left the company, Phoebe would arrange it for him.

But what's interesting is that the members of Girls' Generation, naturally, didn't know what Kim Doo-seok said to Phoebe in private, but almost cried again because they heard that Doo-seok was vouching for them with his career......
