Chapter Ninety-Eight: The showbiz tsunami

If the award ceremony on the evening of January 9 is Xu Canhao's one-man show, then for fans who like him, it is not an audio-visual feast. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info won six awards alone, achieving the most dazzling superstar in the music industry this year, which is extremely unfair to those artists who play songs and promote them to death. However, from an objective point of view, the winning of these awards is understandable and expected.

The popular MV award was indisputably awarded to "Inseoul", a promotional song that traveled the world with South Korea. The star chorus version that appeared in June 04 pushed the popularity of this song and the music video to a new peak, and it deserved to be a well-deserved annual award.

Merit Award. For this award, the host read out the name at that time, and the audience immediately shouted Xu Canhao's name in unison, and no one objected. Because it was he who sold a mixed multi-Chinese album with 30 million global sales, and the domestic number alone has exceeded 6.55 million, far exceeding the 2.8 million sales record held by solo singer Kim Modeling's predecessors. (Let's not talk about the numbers in Asia, pay tribute to the two Zhang brothers in the Chinese music scene.) The song "Inseoul" will help Korea's tourism industry and be announced at the end of the year. It has also made a great contribution to the promotion of Korean minority language songs. There is also a popular crown list in 04, the songwriter record of "Aren't We in Love", which was also included in the credit book.

Popularity Award. It is also undoubtedly won by Xu Canhao, and the possibility of building momentum among the whole people is not ruled out.

POP of the Year. The record book awards and awards, a well-deserved slam, have boosted Xu Canhao's popularity and status in the domestic music industry to a height that no one can match.

After winning each award, Xu Canhao will be asked to sing by the organizer and the audience. From the opening, "I Want to Know You Better" with Kim Yun-sun, a senior who is preparing to return to the music scene this year, to the Korean version of "Stay by My Side" sung by (popular MV) and Boa, (Merit Award) "No matter what", (Popularity) "YouareBeautiful", (POP) "I'mYours", (this award) "Please Don't Do This", (Grand Award) "Inseoul" with Choi Sung-hee, and finally the overheated encore stage, sang a cover of Yoo Young-seok's predecessor's "Seven Years of Love". This song is Xu Canhao's mind constantly hovering after listening to it once, but he couldn't find the title and singer's favorite song, until he recently found it and learned the story behind it, and he was even more obsessed with it. A strong sense of substitution reminded him of his previous relationship, and it took seven years to forget a woman's feelings. When the deep sorrow was sung by him, he not only shocked and moved everyone present, but also dragged the original song in front of the TV, Yoo Young-seok's predecessors and his former economists into the whirlpool of sadness again.

It has been more than a week since the awards that night, but this popularity has still not cooled down, but it has intensified because of the exposure of the location of the crew of "Despicable Streets" and the strong rise of the "Shen's wife" incident.

"Bastard boy, now because you have to pay an extra fee (hire local personnel to act as temporary security guards), I and Lao Gao Chengtian come forward, where to run here, busier than you." Cha Seung-jae, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, finally complained and sat down next to Seo Chan-ho, who was discussing the script with Director Kim.

"How can you not calculate how much publicity money you have saved?" Xu Canhao didn't reply, and dispelled Cha Shengzai's various dissatisfaction and the little Jiujiu in his stomach with a single sentence.

Now what is being filmed is the opening of the game hall, and the entire street has been blocked by the hired security guards, leaving only a lot of extras who are excited to take pictures in the circle. This section is the first time that the crew has filmed a fight scene in the play, and Kim Ki-duk, who has not even invited a martial arts instructor, can only rely on his own experience to arrange the fighting personnel and actions. But after trying it once, it was denied, the movements were too unnatural, and it didn't show real gangster fighting skills and style. It's Xu Canhao's self-play is good, but it still can't achieve the expected effect of Director Jin, after all, Xu Canhao's performance is not an authentic Korean gangster brawl. In desperation, Xu Canhao asked Li Zaiquan for two people, the most serious characters, to make cameos and guide martial arts.

Although they were waiting for the arrival of the two gangsters, the crew couldn't stop work, and they still barely shot this set of shots to reach the bottom line of Director Jin. At this time, I waited for an unexpected news, a nuclear bomb that overturned the entire showbiz information.

"President Nim." Only on a formal occasion would Li Dongxu call Xu Canhao like this, and he leaned over and whispered next to Xu Canhao's face. Xu Canhao's face turned several times, and he took the computer handed over by Quan Zhenya, and the list of words appeared in a conspicuous position on the naver page and was made headlines.

"Which bastard is this who has to make 99 people?" Xu Canhao saw at a glance that these were fabricated things, but they were just made up to mislead the public through groundless rumors and malicious speculations. Xu Canhao quickly browsed some people's information, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. The experiences, physical characteristics, talents, and innocence of each of the artists mentioned here are told in great detail and accurately. Coupled with some reasonable and well-founded inferences, this information document, which seems absurd at first glance and cannot withstand scrutiny on closer inspection, becomes more real and credible in the eyes of uninformed people and ordinary people. "Who's going to do this!?" Xu Can stood up proudly, swearing in front of so many people for the first time, just because he saw the information that insinuated Bao'er. "A little girl who is only a teenager also takes it to talk about things, a real TM dog # raising." He kicked open the canvas seat, and the people around him were stunned. Xu Canhao confessed his guilt and took Li Dongxu to an alley.

"What's going on?" Kim Ki-duk paused filming, and others came around one after another, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Take a look." Jeon Jin-ah handed the computer to the director, and the others immediately rushed over and probed their brains.

"Hiss~" Xu Canhao squinted his eyes and frowned and exhaled a puff of smoke, Dongxu was his mobile cigarette and wine cabinet. "Tell me what you know, or what you've heard." Xu Canhao leaned against the wall and said to Li Dongxu at the entrance of the alley not far away that he knew that Dongxu, who had been under Li Zaiquan, must know some gossip.

β€œnae。 The materials were originally in text form, but they were leaked out of Project No. 1 last night. "Li Dongxu looked at Xu Canhao's face, obviously he was shocked again, this is a branch of Samsung Group, which is now controlled by Lee Jae-yong." Later, it was maliciously spread on the Internet, and the chairman has asked President Lee Jae-yong to deal with a group of people, and the president of DSR has fled overseas. "The old man's reaction was quite fast, not that they were afraid of the artists who might be in the group, but that they were worried that the incident would affect the inspection of the government departments, and once they took the opportunity to investigate the affairs of the group, they were afraid that they would get into a lawsuit that really touched the root of the matter." The director of the office, Huang Renmin, who had fabricated the information, had been sent to the procuratorate, but his mental pressure was too great and his mood fluctuated abnormally, and the prosecutors could not determine the actual process. Things may be checked again, recently big brother... President Lee Jae-cheon has been notified and has begun to release smoke to the outside world. "The old foxes began to hide their heads and tails, ready to fight against the prosecutors. Xu Canhao thought about it, nodded subconsciously, and motioned for Dongxu to continue. "The online public evaluation is very bad, and most of them tend to believe this information. But fortunately, you and Brother Dongjian were not affected. In addition, President Kim Young-min issued a statement early this morning, clarifying the matter of Miss Boa and condemning the two companies, and for this reason, he had to release some of Miss Boa's information and most of the itinerary. ”

Xu Canhao asked these just to see the direction of the wind, not to make immediate moves. This hole is well known to everyone, and no one can cover it up, let alone put it on the Internet, maybe the whole world will know about it by now. As you can imagine, this will have a lot of impact on the artists in the profile, and the popularity is definitely plummeting. Xu Canhao and Li Xiuman hung up the phone, talked to each other, and exchanged some information. Then, he sent a message to the artist friend who was in distress on the phone, and called Bao'er alone to comfort and encourage her. Then let Lee Dong-wook stare at this matter and devote himself to filming again.

On January 20, an online poll made another big splash about the incident. Regarding the fact that "80% of the people believe", the victimized artists and their companies are really crazy now, and have joined forces to start a march, write a joint letter, and start preparing to sue the two companies and those involved.

Xu Canhao pushed down the birthday song party on January 22, but kept the fan club. At the same time, the scale of the fan club has been expanded, and the live situation will be broadcast online simultaneously. On the same day, more than 10,000 fans gathered at the Jamsil venue to listen to Seo Chan-ho's support speech for the stars, and also invited Jang Dong-jian, Cha Tae-hyun, Moon Geun-young, Lee Bo-young, and Cheon Ho-jin to be present. After Xu Canhao sang a few songs, interacted with fans, and gave a lot of gifts, the six of them shared the stage and began to describe the affected artists they knew for more than 40 minutes. While these efforts may have little impact, they cannot be ignored. At least a few of the people present had good reviews, and after this incident, several of them skyrocketed in popularity, absorbing a lot of other people's fans (this is inevitable, and it is definitely not from the original intention of the parties). South Korea has a population of more than 40 million, and almost the vast majority of people know Xu Chanhao, regardless of age. He used to have 770,000 registered real-name fans, from the time of the Golden Record Awards to the outbreak of this matter, in just half a month, the official registered fans have exceeded 900,000, plus an independent fan tennis (belonging to DAUM), and Xu Canhao's private fan forum (until the end of 03, it was handed over to the CH entertainment team to manage. This forum has its own domain name, and there are many celebrity friends in it, so the registration assessment is very strict, and the number of people is very small, only nearly 2,000 people. The total number of real-name fans has exceeded 1.5 million. At least, after Xu Canhao's statement was broadcast through the video, most of his fans expressed their support, and some non-fans who like him are also willing to believe in this miracle boy. Just because of his popularity, past deeds, achievements from childhood to adulthood, and unstained resume, his words are sometimes even more effective than most officials. In fact, some older fans or people who like him have one most important insistence in their hearts. That is, they have witnessed the history of a child with autism, step by step towards success, and continue to create miracles, and is about to see the peak of life. A group of people who regard Canhao as a nephew and have been silently supporting behind their backs are the ones who moved Xu Canhao the most. After this incident, Xu Canhao received a large number of thank you letters and phone calls, and gained the goodwill of many artists and their companies, which will be his biggest help in his acting career in the future. Of course, it also has a strong prestige and right to speak in this circle.

On January 25, 391 artists under the umbrella of 48 Korean entertainers held a press conference through the Extraordinary Measures Committee to formally sue First Planning and DSR Research Company, along with the 10 journalists involved in the case, and stated that they would refuse to accept all advertisements recommended by First Planning. Because of Xu Canhao's participation and standing in the position of an entertainer without hesitation, this rights protection case is much more powerful than in the original history. And, on the same day, Seo Chan-ho's fans, along with other entertainers' deaths, spontaneously organized several parades and expressed solidarity in Jongno, Yeouido, and Gangnam#-gu Office, which was quite loud and touched the artists to whom they belonged.

"Support personal privacy and protect self-information. Artists also want human rights and resolutely resist the first project! This is more than 100 fans wearing red cloth strips and holding signs in front of the National Assembly in Yeouido.

And the slogans of Jongno's hundreds of fans are much more chaotic, all fans shouting in support of their favorite artists' names and swaggering through the market with huge posters. The procession of Jiang#Nan was selected on the line from Cheongdam-dong to Sinsha-dong, where the flow of people # is the most concentrated, and the vast majority of the people in the team are young fans of Xu Canhao, one by one, like shopping, occasionally shouting two slogans to remind themselves and passers-by that they are marching and demonstrating.

"Ernie, let's go back to training, it's a shame." Xu Xian frowned and pulled left and right, Lim Yoona and Choi so-young.

"Yes, this is different from the imaginary picture of conflict and bloodshed, there is no passion at all." Kim Hyo-yeon also came up and said. These S.M trainees, both men and women, participated in the parade with the tacit approval of the company. It's just that I was unlucky to run into an unreliable leader, and I don't know who it is, and it is estimated that after this incident, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the fan base.

"That's... We, slip away? Cui Xiuying rolled her eyes and said to the people around her.

After receiving affirmative answers from most of the female trainees, the female students of S.M stepped on the same ground and slowly hung at the back of the line. Until someone shouted, and everyone fled in all directions. When she ran to the scheduled meeting point, in front of the Hyundai Department Store, Cui Xiuying was still two short of the number of people. After a closer look, I realized that Zheng Xiuyan and Kwon Yoo-ri were missing, and only 13 people remained. And what are these two people left behind doing? The two of them were holding a cone in the cold, stupidly carried around by the crowd, and their eyes were sometimes aimed at the shops on the side of the road, but they didn't know that they had been abandoned.

One month after the incident, the flow of Hallyu in Asia was significantly blocked, and even regressed and resisted. Even South Korean movies, television, and advertisements have also been seriously affected, and the most terrible thing is the reputation of Korean stars, which has had a very bad impact on China and Japan. Similarly, the domestic public's love and recognition of their own artists have fallen to the freezing point, which is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the entire Korean entertainment industry. The lawsuit demanding a huge amount of compensation of more than 20 billion yuan was finally settled, and the companies reached an out-of-court settlement with the first project and took the money. Popular, famous entertainers may also be explained, appeased and compensated by economic companies, but what about the others? This is another bullshit and unfinished rights protection incident, after all, the status of the artist is too low, and his own strength is weak, and he cannot get the due rights and interests at all, which has become an important factor in the high suicide rate of Korean stars. Lee Eun-joo, who was found dead on Feb. 22, was one of them, and Seo Chan-ho, whom she had met twice before her death, was in New York at the time, and he expressed regret and condolences on his blog and forum, while also outspoken condemnation of the dark side of the real society and the irrational and insidious netizens.
