Chapter 70: Don't Use the Hidden Dragon

When Ning Qingzhou's video of singing "Long Time No See" in "Long Time No See" became popular, his attention has been increasing, and the heads of many record companies and entertainment companies hope to meet him in person and talk about the possibility of cooperation, until Cao Zihuan and Yuan Xianyi released the news of "banning", and those companies that rushed to it had to temporarily choose to give up.

The current pattern of the entertainment industry is one decline, two superpowers and many strong, "one decline" is the Han Dynasty, "two supers" is Jian'an and Zhonghan, and many strong are many entertainment companies including Soochow, Feixiong, and Taoyuan Brothers.

In essence, during the period when Ning Qingzhou became famous, such three levels of groups were interested in him, such as Fa Xiaozhi, deputy director of Taoyuan Brothers, and Lu Zijing of Dongwu, who had recommended Ning Qingzhou to their leaders, but after discussion, the senior management of the two companies felt that it was not appropriate to confront Jian'an and Zhonghan for a newcomer, so they maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

After the hit of "Voice of China", Ning Qingzhou's popularity exploded, and several of his songs were popular among countless fans, singing all over the streets and alleys, just when everyone thought that a superstar would rise in the music world, Ning Qingzhou abruptly announced the decision to temporarily retire.

However, that "decision" did not make him disappear from people's eyes, on the contrary, as soon as the finals of the "Voice of China" came to an end, netizens and the media were frantically looking for Ning Qingzhou's whereabouts.

However, although the Internet era has made the world smaller and smaller, it is not so easy to be discovered when a person consciously breaks away from the online world and hides in a corner of the objective world.

Ning Qingzhou played cards with his friends in a hotel in Beijing for almost a night, and the next day he flew back to Xinhai under the noses of reporters and paparazzi in the city.

Back in Xinhai, hide in the apartment, close the curtains again, and hide in the city, as long as the reporter does not have a search warrant, it is basically impossible to interview Ning Qingzhou.

In the next three days, Ning Qingzhou did not go out of the gate, and the second door did not step, limiting the scope of activities to 302 and 301 in the second phase of Penglai Apartment, during the day, friends went to work, he wrote at home, did not turn on his mobile phone, did not surf the Internet, and worked eight hours every day, every two hours of writing got up and moved, left three circles and three circles of right neck twisting butt twisting exercise, lunch had a love lunch specially prepared by Jiang Hanxue, just put it in the microwave to heat it up.

In the evening, when his friends got off work, Ning Qingzhou also got off work, eating, chatting, playing cards, playing chess, watching DVDs, and playing games with them, a thorough otaku life.

"If you imagine it, everyone might think it's incredible, but when you really decide to do it, you will find that it's just like that, it's not a big deal, but it feels light."

After dinner, Ning Qingzhou shared his experience of "going off the Internet": "I haven't been online for three days, and I don't feel abandoned by the times, nor have I become a primitive person. ”

Everyone nodded insincerely, and Ning Qingzhou pretended not to see it.

There is no need to speculate on the meaning of a few friends' expressions, the discussion about himself on the Internet in the past three days must have been fried, and the reason why Ning Qingzhou refused the Internet was actually to avoid these topics, but he could only roughly guess the overwhelming atmosphere, and could not speculate on the specific content, in fact, the topic of his retirement on the Internet had long since changed from discussion to war.

"Jian'an and Zhong Han secretly issued a ban on Ning Qingzhou, and Ning Qingzhou's retirement was not so much about precipitating himself as being forced to be helpless."

This post, originally posted on the "Voice of China" forum, quickly spread all over the Internet, and the post elaborated on the process of Ning Qingzhou being banned for offending Cao Zihuan and Yuan Xianyi, which quickly triggered a huge war on the Internet, and Jian'an and Zhong Han became the target of public criticism for a while, which is not a good thing for Jian'an, who is fighting with Flying Bear Entertainment for control of the Han Dynasty, although it cannot affect the overall situation, but it will always be affected by something.

The two companies' emergency public relations were immediately launched, on the one hand, arranging for the water army to engage in a scolding war with netizens who denounced them, on the other hand, putting pressure on the micro-blogs of Tage to control their remarks and topics as appropriate, and finally the official press conference was held to resolutely deny and refute the rumors of the ban.

It can be said that in the past few days, although Ning Qingzhou has not been on the Internet, the Internet is full of his news. Therefore, when he said that he was not abandoned by the times, a few friends showed that kind of expression.

Where is this abandonment, this is the world's attention.

However, because of Ning Qingzhou's complete disappearance, as well as the strong action of Jian'an and Zhonghan's public relations teams, although it was also a professional team that provoked the war, only three days later, the shape of the war began to change from one-sided to evenly matched.

"If Zhou Zhou stands up at this time, it will be enough for Jian'an and Zhonghan to drink a pot."

When talking about this matter behind her back, Cao Yuqin expressed this opinion with regret.

"I just hope that this limelight will pass quickly, so that he can restore a normal and peaceful life." Jiang Hanxue didn't want Ning Qingzhou to get involved in this kind of dispute at all.

Just when this seemingly never-ending war entered the white-hot stage, the micro-blog of Cao Zijian, the third son of Jian'an, was attacked by "angry netizens", who carried out a very vicious personal attack on Cao Zijian in the name of supporting Ning Qingzhou and denouncing Jian'an, which instantly angered Cao Zijian's fans, so a new group of new forces joined the battle, and those "supporters" of Ning Qingzhou also caused discomfort among neutral netizens and well-known bloggers because of this irrational behavior. They wrote articles criticizing these people as thugs, discrediting idols, and putting out a lot of those attacking remarks in public.

Subsequently, Jian'an and other artists in Zhonghan came forward to criticize this radical voice, and they were also subjected to similar abuse and verbal attacks, so more and more celebrity fans entered the war, and the nature of the war soon changed, and "Ning Qingzhou's supporters" became a new target.

On September 8, Zhou Gongjin, the director of operations of Soochow, said meaningfully on his personal microblog: "A beautiful self-directed self-performance can be included in the public relations textbook as a classic case." ”

To be precise, this counterattack was directed by Sima Zhongda, the senior assistant to the general manager of Jian'an, and arranged for the navy to pretend to be Ning Qingzhou's fans to scold Jian'an and Zhonghan's artists, so as to anger the fans of those artists and provoke a new war.

Of course, this kind of carving insect skill can't hide from an expert player like Zhou Gongjin, but when launched at the right time, it is enough to turn the whole situation around.

"I'm a little overwhelmed by this." Taoyuan brother Kong Ming chatted with Liu Xuande about the turmoil, and finally had a confused place: "If Ning Qingzhou's announcement of his retirement from the music scene was to set up a 'retreat as advance' game, then he should have come forward to say it when the opponent's public relations were on the rise, but he hasn't shown up once until now, which looks very weird." ”

Liu Xuande said: "Didn't he see that those so-called supporters were deliberately arranged by Jian'an and Zhonghan?" ”

Kong Ming shook his head and said: "I talked to him once, this kind of trick can't hide from him, he can't bear it until now, I can only think of one reason." ”

"What?"

"He's really ready to quit for three years." Kong Ming said seriously.

On the balcony of the Jian'an Building, Guo Fengxiao and Xun Wenruo were smoking.

"When the whole world thinks that he is retreating into advance, he is doing what he says, so that everyone pounces." Guo Fengxiao analyzed: "This is a game without a game, and a game without a move." ”

Xun Wenruo said: "Did he win?" If he really quits for three years, won't all the previous accumulation be in vain? And if he comes out again in three years, won't he still face Zihuan and Zhonghan? ”

Guo Fengxiao said: "Two points, one, when the two mountains of Jian'an and Zhonghan put pressure on him together, he did not choose to give in, but retreated as advance, which shows that he has superb wisdom to deal with the crisis, which I can also use my relationship with him to corroborate;

Second, Mr. Xun, I don't know if you have noticed that since Ning Qingzhou has emerged in the circle to the present, all the songs he sings have not only become popular, but also won high praise in the professional field? ”

Xun Wenruo's head was bowed.

"So, what does it mean that such a wise and talented person chooses to lie dormant for three years?" Guo Fengxiao's eyes sparkled, he stretched out his hand holding a cigarette and lit the void, and said, "Don't use the hidden dragon, don't underestimate it." ”

In the general manager's office not far from Guo and Xun, Cao Zihuan was also talking to Sima Zhongda and Wu Jizhong about Ning Qingzhou, Sima Zhongda said: "The reason why I didn't splash dirty water on him was because of two considerations, one is to leave room and not to do things too much; The second is that he doesn't want to push him into a hurry, so he comes out to do it with us regardless of a situation. ”

Cao Zihuan said: "He didn't come forward from beginning to end, does he really want to quit?" Cao Zihuan sneered and said, "If that's the case, I still can't explain it to my father and second uncle." ”

Sima Zhongda said: "So far, there is no way to retreat, and now we can only continue the plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, anyway, investing in the network is also developing business for the company." ”

Wu Jizhong also said: "Only if he realizes that singing and writing can't escape our palms, will he be willing to talk to us about it." ”

Cao Zihuan pondered for a long time, and then said: "Okay, Zhong Da, Ji Chong, this matter will be watched by the two of you personally, be sure to cut off and avoid his cooperation with any website, let him further understand, and we are doing it, if you want to drink soup, if you are willing to cooperate, big fish and meat, delicacies of the mountains and seas, whatever he chooses." ”

Both nodded in agreement
