Chapter 20: You Forced Me

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that this time it was Gu Cheng's turn to put on shoes.

After more than two years, it is finally time to repay the character debt.

After the sister and brother figured out the current situation, Pan Jieying asked bluntly: "How do you plan to solve it this time?" and held a press conference to clarify? But Zhou Hongyi himself was the party in the first place, and he must have some evidence in his hand. If he is not afraid that both sides will stink, the effect of your denial will be greatly reduced. ”

Gu Cheng only hesitated for two or three seconds, and then immediately decided: "Don't deny it, just admit it, this is not a crime." I admit that I am relaxed, and no one can threaten me in the future. Primitive accumulation, who is not bloody and who is not dirty?"

He is telling the truth: although he also swiped data to falsify at the beginning, he is different from the management veterans of Dingdang.com and a certain point network that have been fired now. From beginning to end, he deceived investors in the financial world, and the latter deceived ordinary consumers.

This is called arrogant and unbearable, brother is not not deceiving, but if you want to deceive, you can only deceive professional people, those Wall Street investors who were fooled at the beginning should obediently admit that their skills are not as good as others and they are willing to gamble and lose. But Tu You's fraud, Gu Cheng didn't bother to do.

In Zhou Xingxing's line in Su Qi'er, it is called: "Want to be bullied by me?"

Pan Jieying knew her brother's mind best, and immediately captured the gist of this strategy:

"This is a good way, the general public should also hate those Wall Street financial dogs, you make yourself into the kind of image that does something and does not do something, maybe others still think that your husband can be true and the real name is self-styled. However, I am afraid that your business will grow in the future, and people in the financial industry will be even more reluctant to deal with you."

Regarding his cousin's worries, Gu Cheng directly ignored it: "You don't have to worry about this, ordinary people only care about reputation." Those Wall Street Jewish dogs don't even know how to write the word 'sense of honor'. As long as you have money to make, what kind of face do you want. ”

The plan was agreed, and Gu Cheng made a phone call and asked people to contact some friends in the media industry, ready to beat the side drum.

He didn't know many friends in the media circle, so he asked Gao Dasong, who is relatively good at this aspect. As a result, as soon as the phone called, Gao Dasong heard his plan and pushed him back:

"Xiao Gu, it's not me talking about you, you want to express this attitude, the press conference is really inappropriate. The content of what is said must be harmoniously edited - this kind of fierce information is not your own business, if you admit to falsification, then others will definitely ask who you faked, who do you confess?

Besides, the entire Internet circle was faking back then, if you were ambiguous, no one would admit your favor, but offended the entire circle. Everyone has to put on a posture of drawing a line with you to clear themselves. ”

Gu Cheng was stunned, he didn't expect this: "I just want to tell the truth, I can't really have a temperament?"

Gao Dasong hurriedly explained: "I didn't say that you were wrong, I just said that the form of the press conference was inappropriate." You need a direct-to-public, unfiltered way of media. ”

When he heard this suggestion, Gu Cheng was thinking that it would be good to have Weibo this year, and he would post an article by himself, and the clear ones would be turbid.

It's a pity that now there is neither Weibo nor Du Niang post bar, and there is not even a buckle group. So he is always a little constrained in the war of public opinion - because those fans who like him can't find an organization at all. And the opponents are all professional sunspots, and there is no need to find an organization.

Seeing that Gu Cheng had no good ideas for the time being, Gao Dasong put forward an idea for him out of professional habits: "Generally speaking, we musicians have been hacked, and I want to say something discordant to clarify, the best way is to hold a concert and talk to fans about what to say."

A concert of 70,000 or 80,000 spectators can hear it, no more than a few dozen people at the press conference, and the broadcaster can't be harmonious if he wants to edit it harmoniously afterwards. And the concert also has an advantage, there is no 'reporter questioning' link, and you are not afraid of offending Boss Ding or Mr. Lei. ”

It's a pity that Gu Cheng, a musician, doesn't care about it. has such a good fan base, he has sung 6 songs in his life, and 3 of them are written by others, and he can't start a concert if he wants to.

He could only smile bitterly: "Have you ever seen a person who only sings 6 songs hold a concert? Besides, the identity is not suitable, how can there be a boss who competes with his artists for popularity, and he can't win." ”

Gao Dasong thought about it and gave him another trick: "Don't you have cooperation with Dongyi people? The S-M family likes to do combinations, and they also like to do XX-town concerts when they hold concerts." If you really have the heart, learn their model, just call a few singers signed by Eslite Audiovisual and come to sing on the same stage. ”

Gu Cheng's eyes lit up, this is a good way.

He now has Jolin Tsai directly signed, and she can be brought in to sing at any time, and she now has two albums, which can hold the scene. Zhou Jielun's contract is with Alpha Records, and Gu Cheng only gets the agency rights on the mainland, so he has no right to call it, so he can only invite a friendly cameo to make one or two cameos.

For the rest, it's up to S-M to borrow people to support the scene.

Anyway, Zhou Hongyi and Hei are not in a hurry to clarify him immediately, pretending not to see it for the time being, and it will not be too late in a month or two.

So Gu Cheng called Li Xiuman on a whim and asked him to borrow some people.

Li Xiuman was very happy, saying that S-M Company was preparing to promote newcomers recently, and hoped that Gu Cheng would borrow Quan Baoya at that time, and then "buy one get one free" to leave a spare space for the newcomer group to make a cameo appearance in two songs to accumulate popularity, which would be regarded as a debut conference in China.

Gu Cheng was not very surprised, and after a little inquiry, he knew that Li Xiuman was ready to support the debut of "Dongyi TVXQ", which had been training intensively for more than two years.

This is a problem left over from history, and Gu Cheng has no intention of changing it.

Although he likes to support SOLO artists, many of the trainees that S-M recruited in the early days are more talented, and if they are not combined, they can only become waste.

Some of the people in "Dongyi TVXQ" only have timbre, some can only dance, and some just have good faces, so the conditions for S-M to win these artists are very cheap, and the cost of raising people is not high, so they point to "turning decay into magic" to make money.

Because of the appearance of Gu Cheng, history has changed slightly, Li Xiuman also stuffed Han Geng into the "Dongyi Shenqi" to make up the number, although Han Geng's singing and dancing talent is insufficient, and his positioning overlaps with Zheng Yunhao, but a nationality is placed there, after all, it is conducive to developing the Chinese market. It's a big deal that in a year or two, Han Geng will transform into filming and participate less in team activities.

Gu Cheng easily gathered the team he needed for his self-organized concert, and there was an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

There are some things that are new and rewarding to do for the first time. This has nothing to do with making more money or less money, but just enriching life experience.

……

Such a large-scale concert would have to take more than two months to prepare. After all, it takes time to arrange venue rentals, coordinate the schedule of the singer team, and sell tickets.

One of the most time-consuming things is publicity and ticket sales. Because the venue, rehearsals, and layouts can be expedited, but the audience can't be expedited.

According to industry practice, if the advance ticket advance is less than two months, then you can only find a medium-sized venue with less than 30,000 people. Otherwise, if it is carried out according to the 80,000-person field of the Gongti/Shangti in Beijing and Hujiang, it is very likely that the tickets will not be fully sold.

After all, it takes a lot of time for the ticket advertisement to be played and waited for fans to fully see it.

Gu Cheng originally wanted to prepare for two months, so that he could relax a little more. But Li Xiuman told him an industry convention: those who engage in performing arts activities must avoid the World Cup month.

02 is the year of the World Cup, and the World Cup will start around June 10, and it will not die, which is the first time in history that the World Cup has been held in an Asian country. Although it is in Fusang and Dongyi, there must be a lot of Chinese fans rushing to watch the game.

If it collides with the World Cup time, even the platinum singer will have to hit the street.

And it's not just the music market, but also the TV series and film market. The reason why Gu Cheng dared to say that "The Family of Gold Powder" had locked the most popular drama in 2002 just after May was that this year's summer file would be killed by the World Cup.

So Gu Cheng could only temporarily press the schedule, compressing it to only one month of preparation time, and hold this concert around Children's Day.

Hang up the phone, and he won't worry about the rest. Anyway, it's nothing more than a word from the leader, and the subordinates break their legs.

I didn't expect that I just planned to tell a few big truths and show my true temperament, which required such a big cost.

Although to earn more.

……

The dismissal of corrupt employees, Zhou Hongyi's money and materials, and the partnership with Gu Cheng are in full swing.

Within a week or two, Gu Cheng's reputation has also changed from the one-sided praise of "The Family of Gold Powder" when it first ended its hit, to a little full, vivid, and complex.

From a white and flawless idol on the altar, he has become a living person with flesh and blood.

Those who hack him continue to hack. The people who fan him are still unmoved, it seems that these flaws make people feel that Gu Cheng is more real.

Just like Maradona's fans never dislike Maradona's poisoning, it seems that when the poison is analyzed into Maradona, it can become a cute spot in life.

After the May Day Golden Week, advertisements began to appear on some music radio stations to promote the ticketing information of the "Eslite Music Annual Concert".

Experienced people in the circle know that there is no need to advertise the ticket sales of concerts to TV stations, and TV advertisements are purely money-burning and ineffective. Either on the radio, in entertainment magazines, or on websites. Or directly rely on variety shows and entertainment news to make soft and wide.

It's just that Gu Cheng is unwilling to stand on the platform in person to participate in the variety show to do soft Guang, not to mention that he is also busy, he really doesn't have this time, which is equivalent to "cutting off his own arm" in publicity.

There are very few fans who find the ticket information for the first time.

However, some literary critics who were jealous of Gu Cheng, or felt that he was too "serious", quickly noticed this move of Eslite Audio.

The cynicism of some of the red-eyed soon spread:

"Huh...... If you don't do variety shows, you can't be soft and wide, and you dare to only publicize it 20 days in advance? In terms of the domestic market atmosphere, Zhang Xueyou has to sell tickets at least two months in advance to sell them out.

Just rely on a 'popular fried chicken' with only 6 songs, a few female singers, and then invite a newcomer like Zhou Jielun, who has only been popular for a year and a half, as a guest, just expect it to be sold out so quickly?
