Chapter 102: A Strong Reaction
The next day, almost all the entertainment headlines in Hong Kong newspapers talked about the two songs sung by Gu Chen at the concert, as "Sing Tao Daily" commented: "The song "My Future Is Not a Dream" sings about how many young people's pursuit of dreams and unremitting efforts; The song "This Love Can Be Waited" reunited many feelings that were on the verge of being broken; As Chen Shao himself said, this new song continues his standard, that is, a classic, looking forward to the day when these two songs are officially released, this is not only the expectation of the editor, but also the expectation of countless fans. ”
"Oriental Daily" also commented: "Although Chen Shao's incomparable talent no longer needs to be described in any gorgeous words, I was still moved when I heard the slightly hoarse affectionate singing of "This Love Can Be Waited" at the concert site, 'Day after day across the ocean, I miss you more and more crazy, although your voice on the other end of the phone still can't relieve the pain of missing. When will we meet, and how can we be separated forever! No matter where you are, no matter what you're busy with, I'm here to watch you out...... What a beautiful love and love promise. It's just that although the singing is good, how many people are willing to wait in reality? How many people are worth the wait? ”
Of course, there are praises and natural depreciation, and "Cheng Pao" unceremoniously criticized: "There is no doubt that Gu Chen's behavior in the Hung Hom Stadium last night was a typical noisy crowd, and his light completely overshadowed the protagonist of the concert, maybe he should not have appeared at the concert at all." ”
……
Whether it is praise or disparagement, all kinds of comments in the media are just to win the attention of consumers, as long as they are not too sharp, most of the consumers are laughing, and few people will take it seriously, but there are always some people who like to make things happen in the world.
Hong Kong's famous talent Huang Hao made an in-depth comment on the song "This Love Can Be Waited" in his "Ming Pao" column the next day: "In the Hung Hom Stadium last night, with the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of fans, Gu Chen, who originally only planned to sing one song, sang an English song called "This Love Can Be Waited" in Chinese, although I did not hear this song with my own ears at the concert, but it is said that many people at the scene were moved to tears. Speaking of this, I can't help but wonder how a young man of his age who is still reading comics, drinking Coke, and passing notes can write a love song that can touch people's hearts so easily? ”
"I remembered the words Gu Chen said before singing "Kiss Goodbye" at the album press conference half a year ago'In the summer of that year, he was eighteen years old and helpless and cowardly, she gave him half a summer of love, but he had to spend the rest of his life to savor it carefully, trying to slowly kiss goodbye to the long-lost love', I can't help but wonder if Gu Chen has experienced an unforgettable love affair, and it ended in 'being dumped'. Well, I admit that saying this may cause a lot of anger among Gu Chen's fans, maybe I will have to wear a hat when I go out tomorrow. But what I want to say is that it is precisely because of 'dumping' that it is unforgettable......"
Huang Zhan is a well-known poisonous tongue in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, I don't know how many people he has offended with one mouth, he brought up the old matter again this time just to ridicule Gu Chen, but many people took his ridicule seriously, especially Gu Chen's fans, so the media suddenly set off a wave of discussion and looking for Gu Chen's first girlfriend. This is nothing, after all, what the audience pays attention to is always what the media is pursuing, and when the enthusiasm passes, things will slowly subside, but an unexpected thing that everyone has pushed Gu Chen to the forefront.
The reason is that there is a female student at Taiwan University of the Arts, who may be in love with Gu Chen, or who publicly claims to be Gu Chen's early girlfriend for other purposes, which is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and this female student immediately became the public enemy of all the girls in the school. Soon after, the girl and another girl had a conflict over a trivial matter, and the two went from a verbal argument to a hands-on fight, and finally both rolled down the stairs of the dormitory.
One of them suffered intracranial hemorrhage due to a violent blow to the head, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time and was finally rescued, but he was still in a coma, and it is still unknown whether he can wake up and to what extent he can recover after waking up. The other was in a more minor condition, with only a fractured right leg.
It is said that this matter is not directly related to Gu Chen, but it can't stand the association and rendering of the media.
Later, the mother of the girl who was seriously injured, that is, the girl who claimed to be Gu Chen's first love, was interviewed by reporters in the hospital and cried and scolded Gu Chen for abandoning her daughter, shameless and inhumane, inferior to beasts. He also claimed that he did not rule out claiming compensation from Gu Chen through legal channels.
The matter can be said to be getting bigger and bigger, the same sentence, some people read it, some people will report it, not to mention that it is related to human life, and it is a major event related to Gu Chen, and the media are even more flocking, not only the Hong Kong media are all dispatched, but also the media in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and even the mainstream media in Europe and the United States such as the New York Times, The Sun, and the Washington Post have also widely reported on the incident.
Outside Gu Chen's villa in the middle of the mountain and outside the various companies under his name, a large number of reporters have been squatting for almost 24 hours since the incident.
made Gu Chen so annoyed that even his normal work and life were affected. Despite this, Gu Chen still planned to follow his usual policy - not to make any response, and wait for the incident to gradually subside by itself. But when he heard on TV what the mother of the girl who claimed to be his first love said, he was really angry, his patience had reached the limit, and he held a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel the next day.
On the same day, the largest press hall of the Peninsula Hotel was crowded with reporters, both from Hong Kong and from other countries and regions, and when the finger pointed to eight o'clock, Gu Chen, who was dressed in a black casual suit, walked into the venue surrounded by four bodyguards with a tight face, and walked directly around the press gallery to the stage and sat down.
This press conference is obviously different from Gu Chen's previous press conferences, there is no emcee, no guests, not even a companion, only Gu Chen is on the stage, coupled with Gu Chen's serious face, the reporters in the audience are keenly aware that something big will happen.
Adjusting the height of the microphone on the table in front of him, Gu Chen said: "I feel very sorry and heartbroken for the incident that happened at the ** Li Art University, Tang Dynasty Records has sent someone to Taiwan to visit the two injured on my behalf. But in addition to the heartache, I feel the need to solemnly clarify that the girl who claimed to be my first love was not my first love at all, and I didn't even know her. ”
"I solemnly state that I will take legal action if necessary."
"In addition, I announce: In addition to the contract that has been signed, from today I will no longer participate in any form of commercial activities, no longer accept any form of endorsement contract, no longer attend any awards ceremony, and no longer participate in any promotion of the album, the original plan to be a concert guest on August 16 has also been officially canceled, if there are fans who want to refund the concert tickets on the night of the 16th, the organizer will give a full refund."
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly boiled, no one thought that Gu Chen's reaction would be so strong, and immediately the reporters in the audience raised their hands to ask questions, but Gu Chen didn't plan to give reporters a chance to ask questions, and after the announcement, he got up and walked off the stage, surrounded by four bodyguards, and left the venue quickly......
