Chapter 623: Press Conference
Time passed in a flash, and in the past two days, rumors that Phoenix Culture was going to be out of the market-oriented cooperation of Channel 896 were rampant, and Song Xiaoyun and others also followed Fang Yang's instructions to scrupulously stabilize the thoughts of employees, and the preparations for the press conference were carried out in an orderly manner.
In addition to the "Rongcheng Evening News", the major media in Rongcheng City, including several central-level media and well-known online media in the southeast province, have all received telephone invitations from Phoenix Culture - because the Rongcheng Evening News has been included in the blacklist of Phoenix Culture, and Fang Yang knows that whether or not he receives an invitation, "Rongcheng Evening News" will not miss this press conference.
Knowing that Phoenix Culture will hold a press conference at the Shangri-La Hotel Convention Center to explain the recent unpaid wages and a series of negative news that have been hyped all over the city, all the media are very interested and have sent a competent lineup, and Rongcheng TV has also sent camera reporters to prepare to record the whole press conference.
Of course, as an official media, the position must be consistent with the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, if the situation of the press conference does not match the expectations of the Propaganda Department, then these video materials will always be materials, and it is impossible to be broadcast.
The press conference began at half past eight in the morning.
Just after half past seven, the media arrived one after another. When Fang Yang and others came to the press conference, the media sign-in book showed that more than a dozen media had arrived in advance, and there were still forty or fifty minutes before the start of the press conference.
The reporters soon found out that the venue layout of today's press conference seemed to be quite interesting, and there were two large billboards standing next to the media sign-in area, with orange backgrounds all over the face, and one of the billboards was printed with a big headset and a sentence: Simalaya, reinvent the radio!
The layout of the other billboard is almost the same, except that the slogan is changed to: Anytime, anywhere, listen to what you want!
In the upper left area of the billboard, the logo of Phoenix Culture is printed.
Careful reporters found that the logo of Phoenix culture has been redesigned, and the words "Phoenix Culture" in the previous printing style have been replaced with calligraphy, and there is a line of small characters next to it: Bai Yan, Geng Yin was in Beijing on the fifth day of November in the first month.
This is the handwriting of Master Baiyan!
Master Bai Yan actually personally inscribed the name of the company for Phoenix Culture! This discovery quickly spread among the reporters, and this is big news!
For a while, reporters from all walks of life pointed their cameras at the two billboards at the sign-in area and took pictures for a while.
When entering the press conference hall, the reporters found that the new logo of Phoenix Culture was simply everywhere, and of course, there were also promotional posters of Simalaya, which decorated the entire press conference hall into an orange world.
In particular, the huge background wall behind the press conference was completely replaced with a huge promotional poster of Simalaya newly painted, and the two classic advertising slogans were everywhere.
There are many details, and this time Phoenix Culture is also quite attentive.
Each seat in the press gallery provided a signature pen and an interview book, which were also printed with the new logo of Phoenix Culture and the logo and slogan of Simamaya, including the desk autograph plate on the seat, which were specially designed and full of orange elements of Simamaya.
Before the press conference officially began, the reporters who knew each other couldn't help but whisper.
The posture of Phoenix Culture is not like a rumor refuting conference at all, but like an ambitious promotion of its own new products.
During this time, Phoenix Culture has been pushed to the forefront by negative news, and all kinds of rumors are very unfavorable to them, but they still have the heart to launch new products at this time? This Fang Zong's heart is too big!
Zhuang Dong of the Rongcheng Evening News also sat in the crowd.
Looking at the warmly decorated press conference hall and the ubiquitous Simalaya propaganda slogans, Zhuang Dong couldn't help but laugh coldly.
In his opinion, Fang Yang of Phoenix Culture is known as a young man, but it is actually difficult to live up to his fame.
Last time, Fang Yang went to the evening newspaper to ask about the teacher, but he couldn't get in the door, and he was sneered at at the front desk, and finally didn't leave in disgrace?
These days, the reports of "Rongcheng Evening News" are one after another, and the news that has been exposed is becoming more and more fierce day by day, but Phoenix Culture is completely speechless, and just issued a painless statement, which can be said to be watching their own company being forced into a corner by the media step by step.
Zhuang Dong felt a little invincible, he had already studied how the Phoenix culture would react, and formulated corresponding countermeasures, but the result was completely useless, the Phoenix culture was like a docile little sheep, if he didn't fight back and scolded or didn't fight back, Zhuang Dong felt like a punch on the cotton.
After so many days, I'm finally ready to hold a press conference to explain the situation, but don't you think it's too late?
And looking at it like this, the focus of Phoenix Culture is obviously still on promoting their own Simalaya mobile phone station, and they don't seem to care much about the response to negative news.
This is a self-defeating goal!
If you don't die, you won't die......
This kind of weak opponent is not happy to win! Zhuang Dong muttered in his heart.
As for Master Bai Yan's inscription, although it is also a big news point, Zhuang Dong didn't care.
The influence of Master Bai Yan's art world is naturally incomparable, but it is not the slightest help to the situation of Phoenix culture.
But now......
Zhuang Dong pouted.
Photojournalists from Rongcheng TV are also setting up cameras in a step-by-step manner, and they have found that several of the best cameras have been fenced off in advance and several cameras have been set up.
They looked at the people guarding the seats, all of them were wearing the work cards of Phoenix Culture.
It turned out to be Phoenix Culture's own camera! Although the photojournalists have some grievances in their hearts, there is no way, they are the organizers!
So they had to settle for the next best thing and find a place to set up a stand.
At half past eight o'clock, Fang Yang and Song Xiaoyun walked out of the lounge at the back on time, walked straight to the stage and sat down behind the press table.
The reporters who were whispering suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on the stage.
Soho, Song Yi, Ning Mei and others were all sitting in the back row, and they all looked at Fang Yang with a relaxed smile on his face, and they were all slightly nervous in their hearts.
The enthusiasm of the media exceeded everyone's expectations.
At the beginning, Fang Yang wanted to set the No. 1 conference hall, and Song Yi was a little unimpressed, feeling that this hall was too big and a bit wasteful. Looking at the full press conference hall now, Song Yi knew that he had underestimated the media's interest in this press conference.
The reporters quickly noticed that there were three seats arranged in the press conference, and now there were only two people on the stage, Fang Yang and Song Xiaoyun, which made everyone feel a little strange.
However, after the press conference began, everyone did not dwell on these details anymore, but took out the interview machine to prepare for the recording, and the photojournalist also raised a long gun and aimed it at the stage.
Song Xiaoyun was also a little nervous when he saw the crowd under the stage.
She took a deep breath, reached out to turn on the microphone switch in front of her, the smile on her face stiffened a little, and she spoke:
"Dear media reporters, welcome to this press conference of Phoenix Culture Communication Company. At this press conference, Chairman Fang Yang will release relevant news and answer questions from reporters later.
Below, please release information to everyone! ”
After Song Xiaoyun finished his brief opening remarks, the audience burst into applause. Most of the reporters were busy taking pictures and documenting the scene, just a few symbolic clappings in a show of applause, and then went about their business.
As for Zhuang Dong, with a sneering smile on his face, he didn't even raise his hand at all.
Compared with Song Xiaoyun, Fang Yang is much more natural.
With a relaxed smile on his face, he looked around the room and said:
"I know what you want to hear today, but I'm afraid you have to be a little patient, because it's rare to have so many media present today, I still have to release a few important pieces of information about our Phoenix culture first, otherwise when I finish what everyone wants to hear, you will all leave, so wouldn't it be in vain for us to arrange so much......
Fang Yang's words caused a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience, and the dull atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
Fang Yang cleared his throat and said:
"First of all, as you can see, today we Phoenix Culture will use a new logo, the change of the logo has been submitted and passed, and it has also been filed in the industry and commerce. As you can see, the new Phoenix Culture logo is the name of the company inscribed by my teacher, Mr. Bai Yan, a famous master of calligraphy and painting in China. ”
Although I have seen the logo of Phoenix Culture with Master Bai Yan's signature on it, it is a printed version after all, and not everyone knows that Fang Yang is a disciple of Master Bai Yan, so now that Fang Yang has confirmed it himself, it still caused a lot of commotion in the audience.
Fang Yang paused, and waited for the audience to talk a little quieter before he spoke:
"When the teacher wrote this picture for me, he told me to keep a pure heart, and I never dared to forget the teacher's earnest teachings. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to share this work of my teacher with my friends in the media industry. ”
After speaking, Fang Yang signaled, and the two staff members walked up to the stage with the framed works of Master Bai Yan, slowly unfolded the scroll, and the four big characters of "Phoenix Culture" inscribed by Master Bai Yan immediately came into everyone's eyes.
The reporters invariably let out a burst of exclamation, and when they came back to their senses, they raised their cameras to point at the word, and for a while the flash flashed wildly, and the entire press conference hall was full of white light.
If it is possible that the inscription of Master Bai Yan in the previous printed version is still fake, or that these words can be found in other works of Master Guò - of course, the possibility that Phoenix Culture dares to release a new logo in such a high-profile manner is also very unlikely - then the appearance of this character completely excludes all other possibilities.
Master Bai Yan really wrote the name of the company specifically for Phoenix Culture!
For a while, the reporters even forgot the main purpose of participating in this press conference, and their attention was completely attracted by the first news released by Fang Yang.
After the media reporters were quieter, Fang Yang motioned to the staff to put away the master's works, and then said with a smile:
"As for the second message I want to release, I believe you have already guessed, yes, our Phoenix Culture is about to launch a new online audio sharing platform - Simalaya!"
