Chapter 343: Look down on them
"Alright, Mr. Walter, let's drink next time! When my new album is released, I'll invite you to drink! Chen Chufan smiled. Walter's complaints, he didn't make any comments. *Bungaku*
"Then you get busy first. I'll keep an eye on what you say! Goodbye "Kalman. After Walter finished speaking, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Chen Chufan is a little unaccustomed to Kalman. Walter's clench. He rarely gave Kalman. Walter called, mostly Kalman. Walter calls him mostly, and only once at a time with Kalman. Walter got on the phone, and most of them were Kalman. Walter would pester Chen Chufan and talk non-stop, basically because Chen Chufan couldn't stand Kalman. After Walter's fatigue bombardment, repeatedly hinting that he was tired, or busy, the old gentleman would reluctantly end the call. Walter took the initiative to hang up the phone so crisply, especially when he was so hot by the media recently, which surprised Chen Chufan.
What he didn't know was that Kalman. As soon as Walter hung up the phone, he gave his former nemesis, his current boss, Tom Brown. Jackson dialed.
In fact, from Tom. After Jackson arrived on Hong Kong Island, he had not met Chen Chufan. Of course, this is also Tom. Jackson did it on purpose. For a record company executive, he doesn't really like to have too much friendship and contact with his singers outside of work. This is Tom. Jackson's career has long been ingrained.
"Tom, have you been following the entertainment news of Country Z lately?" The call was connected, and Kalman. Walter didn't even say a word of greeting, and asked directly. The private relationship between the two is not good, although they are in Asia, but except for work matters, the two also rarely communicate.
"Entertainment news in country Z? Oh. Kalman, although I am studying Z Wen, but now I am a Gong That's why I never watch the Z channel. But if you're referring to Chen's conflict with a Korean artist, someone has reported it to me. "Tom. Jackson asked.
"That's good, that's what I want to say! Don't you think this is the opportunity you've been waiting for? The company doesn't even need any investment to get the media to help us promote Chen for free. I think this can save you a lot of money on publicity! "Kalman. Walter suggested.
"To be honest, I was thinking about what you said before you called. Maybe this is a good time, but unfortunately Chen's second album is still in the works. I was originally going to be before Chan's second album went on sale. After putting out these messages! "Tom. Jackson said with some regret.
"It's not always going to be as it should be, Tom, you can't be too greedy in everything. Your current mindset is dangerous. Well, without further ado, since you agree with me as well. So be it! Good bye! ”
Apparently with Tom. Jackson's call didn't make Kalman. Walter felt happy, he hung up the phone, stood up with a blank face, and left his office directly.
And Tom. Jackson in Kalman. After Walter hung up the phone, he had a thoughtful expression on his face, and was just about to pick up the phone and dial out. But he seemed to remember something, looked at his watch, and finally did not make a call immediately, but directly in front of the computer. I wrote an e-mail and sent it out.
......
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Chufan's press conference began on time. In fact, the reason why Mrs. Chen arranged the time at night was because Chen Chufan needed to work during the day. Moreover, because the reception was held on Hong Kong Island, there were many media in the mainland who heard about it. Mrs. Chan took the initiative to contact her to attend the press conference, and for Mrs. Chan, the more media who could come to the reception, the better, and there must be enough time for the media in these inland cities to come to Hong Kong Island.
So Mrs. Chen directly rented a conference room in the hotel where Chen Chufan lived, which could accommodate more than 300 people, but even so, it was still crowded with reporters who came.
According to the statistics before the press conference, at least more than 200 media attended the press conference, not only the media from mainland China and Hong Kong Island in country Z, but even five of them were media from South Korea.
This data also proves that Chen Chufan's reputation is now great, maybe Chen Chufan doesn't want this fame, but there is no doubt that he has indeed become a hot topic at this time.
However, Mrs. Chen's mood at this time did not seem to be very excited, on the contrary, the agent, who had always acted more cautiously, was a little worried. The reason is naturally some of Chen Chufan's actions. For example, before the press conference, Mrs. Chen didn't see Chen Chufan with the manuscript she brought to Chen Chufan. For example, when she took some precautions for Chen Chufan, Chen Chufan seemed to be listening carefully, but he always had a light smile on his face.
At the last press conference, when Mrs. Chen advised him not to stiffen his relationship with the media, Chen Chufan had a similar smile on his face. This made Mrs. Chen have some bad premonitions before the press conference, and now, these premonitions of hers have really come true.
"First of all, I would like to apologize to all my media friends, especially those who attended the signing ceremony between me and PepsiCo last time. Because in response to a question from a journalist friend, there were some things that I did not say clearly, and I was misunderstood by my friends in the media. That's right, it's about Sun Haoyong, one of the members of a group in Handao, who commented on my very potential sentence. ”
"I remember my response at the time was that I didn't know Korean, and if this Mr. Sun Haoyong didn't know Chinese either, I thought it would be difficult for us to communicate with each other, so I didn't have anything to respond to. Yes, that's how I answered at the time. Recently, I have also read a lot of critical articles, and I have also read the comments of some netizens on the Internet, this answer is considered by many people to be too arrogant, and I am suspected of disrespecting the senior artists of Handao, and the more serious accusation is that I am suspected of using the fame of Mr. Sun Haoyong to hype, this accusation has been put forward in the news release of the GOP group in the afternoon. But what I want to say here is that you all misunderstood me! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Chufan paused and did not answer immediately, and at this time, except for the flashing lights that kept flashing and the "click" button sound from time to time, there was no other sound, everyone kept quiet, waiting for Chen Chufan to continue.
In fact, Chen Chufan's speech so far, although it has not been read according to Mrs. Chen's draft, the general meaning is still in accordance with Mrs. Chen's requirements. It's just that Mrs. Chen has a rather bad feeling.
However, the representatives sent by several Korean media in the audience did not have this feeling, and when Chen Chufan said this, they all seemed very excited, and their pens kept recording in between.
"Yes, you all misunderstood me. Because I'm not just arrogant, and I'm not trying to hype myself up with some popular Korean group. I just look down on them from the bottom of my heart. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Chufan couldn't continue to speak. The sudden SA movement in the audience filled the entire press conference with buzzing discussions, and some media even raised their hands directly, signaling that they wanted to ask questions.
"Quiet, quiet! It's not time for reporters to ask questions, so please be quiet! The moderator had to speak to maintain order in the room.
Finally, the scene gradually quieted down, and Chen Chufan could finally continue his speech.
"After the signing ceremony with PepsiCo, I learned more about GOP, the so-called popular group of Korean Island. Thanks to the journalists in country Z for publishing the details of this group in the media, which also gave me a channel to learn about them. After learning about them, I looked down on them even more! ”
"I debuted in ninety-eight years, and now I have released three albums in the circle in three years, and the albums have only sold more than 2.3 million copies, and I am embarrassed to call myself a senior artist? is embarrassed to call itself a popular group? Is it better to travel thousands of miles to country Z to hold a concert? I'm really sorry for them! What makes me even more uncomfortable is that Mr. Sun Haoyong in such a group dares to comment that I have great potential? Even at their press conference today, they openly claimed that I was using their fame to hype, which really made me feel a lot of pressure! ”
"In this regard, I would like to use a set of data to illustrate who is using whose fame to hype themselves. According to the data I just got from the company's marketing department in the afternoon, the sales data of my first album released in January this year is 1.02 million copies in Hong Kong Island, 420,000 copies in Taiwan Island, 1.52 million copies in mainland China, and 180,000 copies in other parts of Asia, for a total of about 3.15 million copies. In addition, I need to point out that this is the data that was counted last Friday, that is, the sales data before the signing ceremony between me and PepsiCo, according to Mr. Sun Haoyong, this is the sales data before I have not used their so-called fame to hype! ”
As soon as Chen Chufan's words fell, there were bursts of discussion in the audience again. There is no other reason, the set of data released by Chen Chufan is really too amazing. The sales data of Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island are good to say, because the area is small, it is easier to count, and various record sales lists are also hung there.
But the inland sales data is different, because Chen Chufan's album was released relatively late in the mainland, and there is no official data statistics until now, so naturally it can only be based on the statistics of the marketing department of the record company, and if the sales data of this inland city of 1.52 million copies is true, it will be really a bit appalling.
