Chapter 427: The Thirsty Media
Chen Chufan was very satisfied with Mr. Chen's arrangements. Not only did he arrange contracts for him and various negotiations. More importantly, Mr. Chen would not take on many inexplicable advertisements and endless media interview tasks for the sake of the small profits in front of him, but he would delay his time in creating music.
Chen Chufan does not think that he, like other singers, needs to start using fame to make money by using music. On the contrary, he believes that his focus should always be on music. Even if he needs to make money, he still needs to use his music, rather than ignoring the so-called world to shoot endless advertisements and keep appearing in the media on TV.
Of course, cooperation with large global companies is an exception. After all, as Mr. Chen said, the brand effect of strong alliances is also a very good way of publicity.
However, he didn't have to consider these for the time being, because the job he was in front of him was Han Island. To be honest, Chen Chufan was not very interested in leaving the warm Hong Kong Island in the middle of winter and running to the extremely cold Han Island to swim around. However, in the fact that he could reach 8 million US dollars in just four days, Chen Chufan reluctantly responded.
As for interacting with the audience in simple Korean, this is naturally not a problem in Chen Chufan. If he is willing, the nearly two days before going to Korean Island will be enough to make Korean his eighth native language.
Chen Chufan didn't care about mastering more foreign languages. So Chen Chufan chose for an afternoon and systematically studied Korean. The other two days were to continue his music creation. Or using the word creation to praise this lucky boy who inherited the music civilization of Cardi Star. His real job should be to write down the ready-made melody in his mind and then modify it slightly, that's all.
Once there are too many things, people feel very fulfilled. After the fulfillment, there are also regrets. Unfortunately, Ye Siying never sent him a text message or called him. This made the boy feel a little worried about gains and losses.
This is often the case. If you haven’t got it, you may think about it. But if you get it, you may lose it. It often makes people feel even more reluctant. This is the case for the boy at this time. If Ye Siying is willing to send a text message at this time, he can really give up on the Korean Island team, give up the opportunity to earn eight million US dollars, and even gain a reputation that is not credible.
Unfortunately, he didn't wait for this text message. It was Han Xiaoxi who called to comfort Chen Chufan and proudly promised that he would do his job well, which made Chen Chufan's regretful mood much less.
Although his depressed mood has eased, Chen Chufan has worked harder. Because Chen Chufan felt that this only way can he not think about the things that trouble him for the time being. He even asked Kalman Watt to help him arrange two lounges in the company. He simply took two bodyguards to eat and stay in the company. It was not to save the money for staying in the hotel. Chen Chufan at least simply felt that this would make his work more efficient and he could make full use of the time in the evening.
After all, lying in the bed in a hotel is not only a waste of time, but also a headache and a depressed mood will not be a good choice.
However, Chen Chufan's actions made major media anxious.
You should know that Chen Chufan is the favorite of the media now, and it makes these media hate them even more. Whether it is the concert on the night of the Grammy Awards Ceremony or the hot sales of Chen Chufan's new album later, it directly pushed Chen Chufan to the status of a world-class singer. At this time, the popularity of this young man who has just debuted for only half a year can be imagined.
But after the press conference on the second day of the concert, Chen Chufan completely disappeared from the reporter's sight. When his new album sold 2.8 million copies in M Country on the first day, the media around the world were already in full swing! You should know that this is a good achievement that no one has ever achieved in history, and they don't even think that later generations can achieve this achievement in the short term.
Because the first sales result is already 400,000 more than the record of the single-week sales rankings in the entire m. Well. That is to say, Chen Chufan's album sales in one day are more than the albums of the most popular singer in history in one week. What is this? This is news that without any hype, it is enough to make all musicians excited to explode!
But the singer who created this record that made the media feel crazy really disappeared. Do you think this will prevent major media from feeling frustrated?
At that time, Mrs. Chen, Tom Jackson, even Kalman Watt, who was far away on Hong Kong Island, was almost blown up by these reporters who were eager to interview Chen Chufan. To be honest, he created this amazing achievement. At this time, Chen Chufan's fart was delicious.
But of course, the result disappointed everyone. Neither Mrs. Chen nor Tom Jackson could convince Chen Chufan to give up his vacation, so naturally it was impossible to arrange any exclusive interviews for Chen Chufan. Therefore, looking for Chen Chufan has become a game that major media have been playing in this period.
Unfortunately, Chen Chufan's whereabouts were also too vague. Just now, a reporter with great powers discovered that Chen Chufan flew to New York the day after the press conference and also received news that Chen Chufan was exposed at Juliet Music School.
But when these reporters flocked to him, Chen Chufan was already sitting on the plane for vacation to Hawaii.
Chen Chufan, who had been in Hawaii for five days, was most likely to be caught by the reporter. But by chance, Chen Chufan learned at this time that his two bodyguards actually deliberately indulged the reporter to take pictures of him. The frustrating mood can be imagined. The two bodyguards knew that they were inappropriate, so they naturally did not dare to continue playing tricks in front of Chen Chufan. Especially when they helped Chen Chufan hide their whereabouts, they took out their secret skills. This made Chen Chufan's whereabouts discovered by reporters that it was already the last day he and Han Xiaoxi traveled in Hawaii.
So when countless reporters flocked to Hawaii again, Chen Chufan took Han Xiaoxi back to the mainland without saying a word, naturally, all the reporters who had not had a good sleep in a few days were spared again.
Chen Chufan, who only stayed in the mainland for a short day, flew back to Hong Kong Island without saying a word, then simply stayed in the company and worked hard. It was already a week later, and his album sales in the whole m were terrifyingly more than 17 million, which was nearly six times ahead of the historical weekly sales champion. And the sales worldwide had exceeded 30 million.
Well, it doesn't sound like this. After all, Mike Jackson, a legendary singer in M Country, once created a record of 104 million single albums worldwide. But how many years have Mike Jackson's album been sold? Chen Chufan's new album is just a sales volume created in just seven days, and it is still in many countries and regions that have not obtained a sales license and have not yet been launched.
This is definitely enough to make even the calmest media completely lose their rationality. Even the Columbia Broadcasting and Television Company, which had a holiday with Chen Chufan, extended an olive branch to Mrs. Chen, hoping to get an exclusive interview opportunity for Chen Chufan. This shows how popular Chen Chufan's position in the media's mind is at this time.
Especially after the news that Chen Chufan had returned to Hong Kong Island was spread, media from all over the world had already flocked to it, which made the already densely populated Hong Kong Island look a little more crowded, and brought great trouble to tourists who chose this time to travel to Hong Kong Island, because the hotels on Hong Kong Island were already full of customers and could not accommodate people.
Under such circumstances, the organizer of the MDMF Asian Music Festival awards ceremony held in Seoul, South Korea, was willing to spend 8 million US dollars to invite Chen Chufan to attend, which seemed less stupid and much money. You should know that even the mainland central TV station, which has always been arrogant and reserved, took the initiative to bend down and invite Chen Chufan to do an exclusive interview program.
But during this period when the media around the world were crazy about Chen Chufan, the parties involved were like people who were fine and refused to show up. Now they are playing in seclusion and putting themselves in Universal Records' company every day. Can this not make those media depressed and helpless? You should know that the reporters who stay at the Global Division every day are about to affect the normal operation of the company, and even other companies in the same building as the Global Division have suffered.
Although Chen Chufan stays in the company every day, he naturally knows that the media makes such a big noise. Even if he pretends not to know, someone will naturally point it out.
"If you don't want to go to the Korean Island business, I suggest we hold a press conference before leaving, right? Release the enthusiasm of these reporters in advance. According to the requirements of the South Korean side, participating in the Korean Island Music Festival is an open journey. Anyway, you always have to accept several interviews. Why not divide these media into pieces!" Mrs. Chen stood in front of the windowsill, forgetting the group of regular reporters downstairs of the company who had already mixed up with paparazzi. She suggested.
"I'm not interested, I'm very busy!" Chen Chufan waved his pen on the paper and replied without hesitation.
Of course, it was not just because of the busyness. The boy was just annoyed with the gossip news reported by these media, which made him have no time to prepare and had to show off with the two parents in advance, and made a girl ignore him completely now. Naturally, he was unwilling to fulfill the wishes of the initiators at this time. Anyway, Chen Chufan felt that his fame was already great enough now and he didn't need to do anything to promote for himself.
As the saying goes, he is in a bad mood, so why do you make those who are in a bad mood better? Xiao Chen is now very resentful.
"Okay, whatever you want, do you believe it or not? When you arrive at Korean Island tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't have a peaceful life." Mr. Chen shook his head and said nothing more. During this period of interaction, Mr. Chen knew very well that although the young man in front of him always looked harmless and polite, when he decided on something, he was not influenced by others, even her agent, could not do it.
If this kind of personality is considered to be a less successful artist, it will definitely cause a lot of criticism. However, it is natural to consider Chen Chufan, a music genius who has been praised as the most outstanding music genius in the 21st century. As a genius, a successful person, and a little bit of a stingy person, that is normal.
"If you don't have peace, you won't be peaceful. Alas, if you had known that I was so popular now, you should have called the price higher. Now you feel that the eight million US dollars are still a little less!" Chen Chufan sighed and said greedily.
Chen Tai shook her head and didn't talk. As an insider, she naturally knew in her heart that the 8 million US dollars appearance fee was one of the rare sky-high appearance fee in the circle. No star in Hong Kong or the mainland has ever had such a high appearance fee, and the boy's words were obviously a little greedy.
So Mrs. Chen stood up from the sofa in Chen Chufan's studio, sorted out his clothes, and said goodbye: "Since that's the case, I won't say much. I'll announce that you are about to go to South Korea to attend the MDMF Asian Music Festival awards ceremony. The organizer probably has already held a press conference at this time. Finally, I wish our trip to South Korea a happy island!"
"I don't know if the trip to Korea Island is pleasant, but I believe that after both of you announced the news, I will feel very happy tonight!" Chen Chufan finally stopped the busyness at hand and smiled at Chen Tai.
"Okay, then I'll go, so that you can feel happy today!" Chen Tai said helplessly, and then left Chen Chufan's workshop directly.
...
"How is it? Was it enough last night?" Mr. Chen asked casually while sitting on the plane to South Korea Island.
"Well, it's really quiet outside. I even went to the Haibin Park area for a walk. It really feels pretty good!" Chen Chufan nodded and responded.
"Okay, I hope you will be happy after waiting!" Chen Tai nodded with confidence and said blessedly.
It turns out that Mrs. Chen was talking slander. When Chen Chufan got off the plane, he didn't feel happy at all. Many of them were too dull because the Korean Island reaction was too dull, but on the contrary, it was too hot. It was so popular that it completely exceeded Chen Chufan's imagination.
In fact, for Chen Chufan's high-profile public arrival in Hong Kong Island, the Seoul Airport on South Korea has made sufficient preparations. Special parking spaces are available for the registered fans and reporters to witness the exit of the superstar's beauties as soon as possible. A large number of security guards were temporarily mobilized to maintain order, etc.
But even so, it really can't stand the number of people! When Chen Chufan just flew from Hong Kong Island, reporters and fans from all over the world had already filled the prepared locations of the Seoul Airport in the entire South Korean Island. Therefore, the airport had to launch an emergency plan to restrict fans and media from entering the pick-up area. As a result, the entire passage leaving the airport was not only filled. Even outside the airport was full of fans and reporters.
This directly leads to countless normal passengers who need to take some effort to leave the airport.
Therefore, when Chen Chufan got off the plane, he was treated like a deafening cheer slapped everyone's eardrums like waves. That's all, even the shutter sound of the camera was connected, one after another, like a trigger being knocked constantly.
When Chen Chufan showed off the Korean language he had learned yesterday, he shouted in standard Korean to the fans who came to greet the media, "Good afternoon everyone!", the atmosphere at the scene was finally completely full of excitement.
Chen Chufan really didn't expect that he could have such a big reaction just by saying a word. He would have chosen to be deaf and dumb all the way. Now he couldn't even make a difficult step. Now every time he took a small step forward, he had to stay in place for at least a minute, waiting for the security guards mobilized at the airport to desperately dissuade the fans who tried to turn over the railings, pushing all the microphones on the scene back without caring about it before he could continue to take the next step. At this time, countless notebooks and pens were handed to him, and after he signed the autograph, he snatched it.
In short, the difficulty of leaving the airport was something Chen Chufan never dreamed of before coming to Han Island. With his understanding of Han Island, the entire Han Island should be only more than 40 million people. However, along the way, Chen Chufan had the illusion that the Han Island was even more than the population of Country Z. It looked full of people. Originally, he could walk out of the airport in ten minutes, but he walked for an hour and a half. This was probably something that the organizer had not expected. Because according to the scheduled plan, both sides should have already started the live broadcast signing ceremony in the venue prepared by the organizer in half an hour.
But now it seems that the ceremony can only be postponed without limit, because the airport is also full of fans coming. Chen Chufan already felt dry mouth, and his right hand felt sore and soft due to the constant signature. Even Chen Chufan's physique felt a little uncomfortable in breathing. If it weren't for Lao Pao and Qiangzi, who were both experienced and dedicated to protecting his bodyguards, Chen Chufan even felt that he might have been broken up by the fans and reporters on the scene.
Only then could Chen Chufan understand how correct Mr. Chen’s opinion that made him diversion part of the media yesterday was.
In fact, that's exactly the case.
Chen Chufan's achievements are obvious to all. His music touched countless people in the world. His deeds of competing with Grammys in the end have also become a topic of talk for fans all over the world, especially in Asia. You should know that it is not only Z, but in fact, the entire Asian music scene has criticized the Grammy Awards a lot, because this award, which is known as a world-renowned award, has few Asian singers nominated. No matter which country, Chen Chufan's actions naturally make Asian fans feel particularly happy.
After obtaining these achievements, Chen Chufan disappeared. It is difficult to find reports on his whereabouts in the media, and even a recent photo is difficult to find, which naturally aroused the curiosity of fans to the greatest extent.
So when Chen Chufan disclosed his itinerary for the first time, he received such high attention and onlookers. Not only did he successfully make the media extremely hungry, but he also aroused the appetite of countless fans. (To be continued...)
ps: I'm really sorry, I got home last night and drove for more than 20 hours in two days. I was so tired and I was not in a state, so I took a break first. I couldn't update it on time this morning!
