Chapter 76: The Rolling Tide

Gu Cheng told him at the press conference not to report those few private words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is no doubt that it was sold by those undisciplined entertainment notes.

After all, everyone wants circulation, and everyone wants ratings.

At the moment when "Meteor Garden" was all over the world, the number one male god appeared for the first time in more than a month, how could he not eat and wipe clean and knock on the bone and suck the marrow? That group of people couldn't wait to even report what color Gu Cheng's underwear was, but unfortunately no one knew.

That night, the newspapers of the major generations of entertainment news put the action of Dingdang to the top. However, the online media is obviously the fastest than the newspaper, Huang Yi, Sohu, and Sina Entertainment Channels all send the manuscript back and maintain it online one hour after the press conference ends.

The rest of the weekly magazines and TV stations can only watch their counterparts who respond more quickly grab the news. As a result, these media that are not conducive to time can only make a fuss about the depth of reporting. One by one, Gu Cheng's impassioned words were quoted countless times.

……

One day in mid-June, a small western county town.

A deserted county town that doesn't even have a genuine video store.

The only entertainment venues in the county are two Internet cafes plus three or four rental disc shops.

The Internet café costs 5 yuan an hour, and the rental disc costs 5 cents a day.

If you don't have a VCD player at home, you can also choose to watch it in the small dark room behind the rental shop. The boss charges 1 yuan a day, and he can see what he puts on, and if the bench is not enough to sit, he will stand and watch, or sit directly on the ground.

Occasionally, disc rental shops also sell discs and tapes, and regardless of the content, they all cost 8 yuan a piece. However, the category of music is really scarce, and only Andy and Xueyou are sold by the older generation, and only Ren Xianqi, Xie Tingfeng, and Wang Fei are the younger generation.

As for the singing voices of the singers who debuted around the new millennium, it seems that they have not yet had time to blow to this kind of place where "the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate" - even if it is a pirated disc, the boss has to worry that the goods will not be sold and the funds will be squeezed. He went to the engraving factory, and his courage was not much greater than theirs.

Liu Mazi is the owner of the largest video store in the county, and that afternoon, he had just finished taking a nap and reopened the door of the store, when a group of students rushed in waiting to watch the film.

He skillfully collected money while maintaining order: "Come and come and line up, 5 cents per person, the new film "Meteor Garden", watch it!"

Since "Meteor Garden" became popular, Liu Mazi's business has improved a lot in the past two months. He was the first in the county to buy this batch of plates, and with this vision, he suddenly threw away two peers who were originally on the same level as him.

"Boss, do you have a disc of "Meteor Shower" here for sale? ”

He was finishing collecting the money when he heard two crisp voices behind him ask. He didn't have to look back to know that this voice was two school flowers in the county, the elder sister was called Li Feifei, and the younger sister was called Li Tingting. Those two girls were courteously courted by a group of boys in the county, and no one dared to bully.

However, what they asked, Liu Mazi really didn't know: "Clams? only "Meteor Garden", do you like to watch it or not." ”

The cute girls emphasized: "We're talking about records! Gu Cheng's latest record!"

He reluctantly replied: "Record? Oh, I just want to listen to "Love Has to Be Done." It's okay, after a while, Uncle will pour it for you a few more times, so that you can listen to it a few more times!"

"Forget it, I won't tell you, let's go to Boss Chen's Internet café and buy it. ”

The sisters said, stamping their feet unhappily and leaving. Because they heard that yesterday a few classmates had bought the cassette tapes from the Internet café in the county. They were top students and had never been to an Internet café, so they didn't know the news until a week late.

The sisters wandered around the back street of the school for a long time, found the Internet café but did not dare to go in, fortunately saw a boy in the same class wandering over, Li Feifei suddenly came to the queen's aura, and ordered from afar: "Zhang Chao! I don't have an ID card, you take us in!"

The boy was stunned for a moment, and was immediately flattered, and he didn't care about the buddies who had made an appointment to play CS, so he directly focused on sex and light friends.

In fact, in this kind of Internet café in a small county, where will the ID card be managed.

The owner of the Internet café glanced at the girls, and his eyes lit up. Immediately, I found that the atmosphere in the Internet café was different, and a few game scumbags looked back and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the cash register, and they didn't care about the game, so they just looked at it directly.

Li Feifei's face flushed, she didn't know how to deal with the people in the Internet café, and asked in a suppressed voice: "Boss, do you have "Meteor Shower" for sale here? I heard from my classmates...... You're here, anyway, that, there's ......."

She was so cowardly, but the boss misunderstood, the boss smiled embarrassedly, and said happily: "Come on, come on, sit and see, what do you want to buy, pick slowly." Once you've chosen, click on the shopping cart and you'll pay me the cash. Come and get the goods the day after tomorrow!"

As residents of remote western counties, it is already very fast for things to be delivered in 3 days in their hearts.

Li Feifei opened Dingdang.com, and a list of popular records was "swiped" on the homepage. Before she could take a closer look, she noticed that there was a search box for searching on the site next to it.

Li Feifei said in her heart that it is difficult to find other singers she likes?

She tried to hit "Zhou Chuanxiong", "Sun Yanzi", "Xiao Yaxuan" a few of her favorites, but a prompt popped up: "There are no matching search results in this site, please shop for others."

It seems that Dingdang has not yet negotiated channel agency contracts with those big record companies, so the discs of those well-known artists cannot be sold on the website for the time being.

"There are too few products on the shelves, so it's better to just look at the list and pick them. Li Feifei gave up the idea of doing it all in one stop and browsed the recommendation page.

At the top is "Meteor Shower", then "JAY" by Jay Chow, and "Lucky-Number" by a female singer named Jolin Tsai.

Each album is followed by a list of tracks and a more detailed introduction. It can be seen from the introduction that this female singer named Jolin Tsai has just been signed by Eslite Audiovisual Agency.

As for other business details, they will naturally not be written on the web page.

Gu Cheng doesn't need everyone to know that Jolin Tsai is after nearly a year of investigation by placing PLAY, and confirmed that her falling out with the original agency was not "betraying the lord for glory", but really not liking to be overconsumed by the music style he didn't like. Then Gu Cheng helped Jolin Tsai pay a termination fee of 1 million, ransomed Jolin Tsai's free body, and re-signed under his door.

Previously, before Jolin Tsai issued a statement in August last year, she had stopped all performing arts activities and protested silently in Wanwan. Seeing that the name Jolin Tsai was getting more and more depreciated and almost no one remembered it, Loud Studio (her original agency) was naturally willing to break up peacefully with a termination fee of 1 million.

This business was asked by Gu Cheng to be discussed by Lin Zhiling, and he also asked Hu Zongxian, a big man in the circle, to help match.

Therefore, Xiao Cai's latest album will appear in the top recommendation list of Dingdang.com.

Li Feifei looked at the webpage for five or six minutes, and then consulted with her sister, paid 80 yuan to buy 3 albums, and paid 120 yuan to buy a full set of 12-disc "Meteor Garden" VCD, and then prepared to flash - their family is quite wealthy in the local area and has a CD player.

"Boss, we also want to browse the 'Ding Bell Network' on your computer, or open the back door for us! ”

When a few boys saw the goddess get up after buying the disc, they began to scream and denounce the boss's injustice and only give the girl free online shopping time.

At first, these people also started to coax, but the owner of the Internet café rolled his eyes and generously agreed: "Okay, let you go for free, each person should not exceed 10 minutes, and you must buy it if you see it! If you don't buy it, you will pay 1 yuan for Internet access!"

When he said this, the owner of the Internet café calculated in his heart: The condition of Legendary Entertainment is to sell a disc and give a price difference of 5 yuan, and the income is equivalent to selling a point card. And there are really not many people who can afford 5 yuan an hour to play "Legend" in this kind of broken county. People who don't have a computer at home have to spend 300 yuan on Internet access from him to sell a point card.

If you tie in the sale of records now, maybe the number of runs is more than the number of points.

In this case, it is not a big deal to spare them 1 yuan to spend time shopping online.

"Yo, Boss Chen is so happy today, then we have to give some face. ”

Among the boys, those who have VCD machines at home have begun to ponder, and now if they can grit their teeth and buy a set of "Meteor Garden" discs, they will be able to show off in front of girls. You don't have to crowd the video store owner's small black room anymore, you can directly invite your favorite girl to your home to watch the movie.

Even if you can't afford to buy a full set of DVDs, a few brothers can scrape together money to buy a set and watch it instead. Or buy a 20 yuan record to show off, maybe you can also invite the girl home to "appreciate" together......

Gu Cheng's Hua Ze class is too popular at the moment.

A group of hormonal-brained guys, as soon as the adrenaline soared, they immediately couldn't hold it back, gritted their teeth and stomped their feet to buy a bunch of plates.

The owner of the Internet café watched the network management computer with the MAC address tied to it being blocked by a group of people queuing up, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut in his heart:

"Let people walk for 10 minutes, only 1 yuan less Internet fee. Earn at least 5 yuan and 10 yuan more commissions, and make a lot of money! No, when you turn around, you will put posters of legendary online games and meteor gardens in the store, and when you see people who come to start the machine, you have to promote and persuade them to play things produced by Legend Entertainment.

But why didn't that damn push last time come? I want to ask him for hundreds of more legendary promotional posters. You can't let Lao Tzu pay out of his own pocket and post money to help the legendary company print advertisements. ”

This instinctive thought lingers and is by no means an isolated case. Nationwide, the owners of tens of thousands of Internet cafes were so anxious that they couldn't help but become free salesmen of Legendary Entertainment and Dingdang.com.
