After "Embattled" became popular, Gu Cheng never made any remarks about this song, nor did he give any media people the opportunity to interview him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Speaking from my heart, if Wang Xcong ten years later, when he was entertaining himself in KTV, he sang a new song, I believe he would not have been interviewed by the media.

I'm busy.

"Brother Cheng has long since retired from the music scene, but there are legends about Brother Cheng in the music scene."

Throughout September, the entertainment media reported on the song like this, and it can only be reported like this.

Gu Cheng threw a bomb into the entertainment industry as if he was getting up at night to go to the toilet, and then went to sleep by himself, ignoring what was happening behind him.

On October 7th, when people across the country returned to work after their vacation. The 05 season finals of "Girls' Generation" and "Super Girl" ended in this Golden Week.

The final average rating of "Super Girl" fell to a few over 6%, from the topic to social attention, it was comprehensively crushed by "Girls' Generation", and the gap was almost more than doubled - the average rating of "Girls' Generation" was as high as 13.6%, and the final finals ratings were as high as 18.9%. Later, the cumulative number of views on the NICONICO video network also reached more than one billion clicks (each playback in each issue counts as one click, and a netizen can contribute dozens of clicks from beginning to end).

And the popularity of the related paid voting flowers and red envelope rain activities of the two programs is more than two or three times worse.

In the end, "Super Girl" only chose Li Yuchun, a powerful singer like Li Yuchun who is a man's wife and can't come to "Girls' Generation" because of her ugliness. The rest of the girls who should have defected to Supergirl in history with both beauty and singing voice have switched to "Girls' Generation".

Except for Li Yuchun, this year's "Super Girl" can be said to be a girl who has not become popular, and all the other girls who have won the finals have completely faded out of the public eye after two years at most, and the people who eat melons can't even remember their names.

Historically, 2005 should have been the hottest year for girls' TV talent shows-

Later, because of the rise of online video, TV media has had an overall ratings decline; In addition, after several years of girls' drafts, the audience has aesthetic fatigue, so TV stations have transformed and changed to the small fresh meat draft of "Happy Boys" or "The Voice of China", which advertises "fair and pure singing competition" and dilutes the gender of the contestants.

And going forward, because the first year was not enough to warm up, the social topic was not enough, and it was not as hot as in 05.

Taking advantage of the tide of tens of millions of netizens on the Internet, the YY department behind Gu Cheng also took advantage of the wind and waves, and gained two to three times the number of new users equivalent to the QQ system in the summer of this song.

According to the explicit or implicit quarterly announcements of the two companies, and even internal documents, the competitive situation between the YY series and the QQ series is roughly as follows:

"By the end of the third quarter of 2005, QQ had 139 million registered users in China, 89 million monthly active users, and 44 million daily active users, while 38 million monthly active users and 2.2 million international users of QQ Zone.

YY's domestic registered users: 188 million, monthly active users: 146 million, daily active users: 98 million, Renren's domestic monthly active users: 125 million, Renren's overseas monthly active users (mainly for Dongyi, Fuso and Southeast Asian countries): 21 million; The number of monthly active users of YY.com (used by European and American users) is 46 million, and the number of users of YY international version (used by all overseas countries) is 37 million. ”

It can be seen from the report that relying on the entertainment season in the third quarter, in the domestic market, although the number of effective registered users of YY is only more than 10 million, this indicator obviously cannot accurately measure the strength gap between the two factions——

Those who have registered a QQ number and used it are impossible to cancel the QQ number, nor will they necessarily bother to uninstall the QQ on the computer. As long as the number of monthly active users and even daily active users is widening sharply, the monthly active YY has exceeded half, and the daily active users have reached twice that of QQ.

If you include the overseas market, the gap is even more terrifying.

In addition to these battlefields that Ma Teng, Zhang Zhidong and Ren Yuxin will pay attention to on a daily basis, there is also a new "second battlefield" between the two sides in the third quarter that has been opened up by the YY department, that is, the news portal.

Tengyun company from the beginning of 04 years, the afterburner layout of Tengyun network, the rising star in the field of news portals, once relying on the high stickiness of the number of users, in one fell swoop to break through the formation of Sina, Sohu, Huangyi three major portal pattern since 2000.

Originally, as of the beginning of 2005, the traffic of Tengyun Network has been on par with the early three portals, and there is a faint tendency to overtake. Advertising revenue is also a daily income, which can contribute tens of millions of revenue to Tengyun every quarter. However, with the privatization of Huang Yi Company and the reorganization of the YY system, YY's amazing drainage effect was connected to the Huang Yi portal, and the old website, which had once shown its decline in front of Tengyun.com, immediately radiated new vitality like chicken blood.

The insiders were dumbfounded, and afterwards they had to put on a hindsight posture of "I had thought it would be like this a long time ago", pointing out the country one by one, and analyzing "With the support of Gu Cheng's huge traffic, it is too easy for Huang Yi to push Tengyun backwards".

In the Internet circle in the capital, it is said that after Cao Weiwei and Zhang Chaoyang heard about the growth of Huang Yi's portal, they all regretted it and almost broke their thighs:

"Ding Sanshi's body sells well! Take 60% of Huang Yi's shares for 10% of YY Entertainment, and a few points of Alipay, if I change it, I will sell it!

Look at the Huang Yi portal, after taking refuge in Gu Cheng, the traffic and advertising fees immediately skyrocketed by three times! Even if only 40% of the shares are left, the absolute income multiplied by three is equivalent to 1.2 times that before the restructuring! If you just look at Huang Yi's news portal, it almost costs nothing to sell his body, and he also posts benefits! ”

It's a pity that what Cao Weiwei and Zhang Chaoyang didn't see was that Sina and Sohu really lacked the ability and style to develop national online games and other Internet content products. If there is only a news portal as a bargaining chip, how can Gu Cheng be able to see it?

The media across the country are waiting for Gu Cheng's public appearance, waiting for YY Network Technology or Alipay to hold a press conference, so as to hear how Gu Cheng is going to pretend to be forced after achieving such an advantage.

Then these media people will publish it on their websites, TV, and newspapers as soon as possible, and harvest a wave of user attention.

However, Gu Cheng is low-key, and he didn't bother to pretend to be forced after killing the enemy in seconds, and let everyone wait until the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 20.

"Sunset in the Trichome was contested at the Tokyo International Film Festival! Gu Cheng will attend tomorrow's media conference! ”

When the news broke, reporters from major domestic portals and entertainment channels began to buy plane tickets to Tokyo. Some second-tier cities in the mainland do not have direct flights to Tokyo, so go to Beijing or Hujiang for a connecting flight.

Even if it costs two or three thousand yuan to buy a ticket temporarily, without any discount, these media can't help it.

……

Fuso's famous local entertainment magazine "Friday" is naturally one of the most enthusiastic media to cover news related to the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Yazawa Guobu, a female reporter for "Friday" magazine, had interviewed Gu Cheng at the beginning of the year about the reaction to the movie "Sunset in the Three Chomes". This time there was a related media conference, and the editor-in-chief sent her over again without surprise.

The Tokyo International Film Festival is much larger than the Academy Awards in Fuso, and in addition to one main venue, there are many sub-venues for screenings, covering a wide area. However, all the venues are still in the Roppongi area, which shows that Roppongi is the heart of Fuso's cultural industry.

The festival will last almost two weeks.

Today is only the third day.

According to convention, most filmmakers and reporters should rush to see the new films that are screened for the first time at the film festival, and go to those places to grab the news - "Sunset in Sanchome" is already an old film that has been released for three quarters, although it is very good and used to be very popular, but the topic effect has passed after all.

If you really want to interview, it has to be the last few days, and you will come back when the film is about to win the award, and it is impossible to report the news of this movie every day for two weeks.

Yazawa Koho thinks that the venue for the media conference will be empty, and he may not be satisfied.

Unfortunately, before she entered the lecture hall, she was startled by the scene outside.

The queue went to the hallway of the door.

"Let one go, let one let thank you, I have an interview card, our magazine is invited~" She is a young woman in Fusang, she is short, how can she squeeze in by violence, she can only show her ID and beg someone to let go.

In this way, before his peers gave way with envious and jealous eyes, Yazawa Guobu was almost squeezed and shouted "Baa Dad", and the F cups were squeezed to the side.

"Hello, how can there be so many people?" Yazawa squeezed into a reserved seat and sat down, straightened his clothes, and then asked a colleague next to him who looked quite handsome, but seemed to be a Chinese woman.

The other party paused for a moment and replied in a slightly stiff Fusang language: "Don't you know that Gu Cheng hasn't appeared in front of the media for a long time?" He hadn't given any interviews for at least two or three months! ”

Yazawa Guobu was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: This is the Tokyo International Film Festival, not a place for you to be paparazzi!

Before her inner complaint was over, Gu Cheng appeared under countless spotlights, and the staff of Eslite Film and Television simply maintained order and announced the start of the questioning session.

Yazawa Guobu just wanted to raise his hand, but the Chinese girl next to her moved faster than her, and she was much longer than her master, and it looked so abrupt in a forest where she stood up and raised her hand.

"The lady with the highest lift, you ask the question first. Please give her the microphone. Gu Cheng personally announced kindly.

Yazawa Guobu and the other dwarf girls felt depressed in their hearts.

"Hello Mr. Gu, I would like to ask, what kind of pretending state of mind is the product of your new song "Embattled" recently released on the NICONICO website? What does it mean when it says, 'You can't hurt me, you can still be my dog'? The girl asked very directly, and what made the Fusang colleagues present most unhappy was that they actually used Chinese.

Gu Cheng shrugged: "This young lady, I have to remind you, this is a press conference about the participation of "Sunset in Three Chomes" at the film festival, is your question related to today's discussion?" ”
