Chapter 379 Singing Contest
"Lao Gao, you are on the hot search again!"
When the call was connected, before Gao Yuan could speak, Director Jay Chou's voice came over.
He spoke with a Taiwanese accent, and his voice was obviously a little excited.
Gao Yuan thought he was talking about Yuan Yuan's car some time ago, and then said: "You are also the spokesperson of Yuan Travel!"
"Farstrider is hot, and you are just as hot!"
Gao Yuan smiled and teased Director Jay.
Jay Chou's laughter stopped instantly, and he said with an incredible tone: "Did you not go online today?"
"No!"
Gao Yuan said after hearing Dong Zhou's confusing words.
"Then you'd better log on to the Youyou APP and take a look!"
"The whole Internet is looking for you."
When Gao Yuan heard what Director Zhou said, he realized something was wrong.
No matter how popular the first car in the distance is and the whole Internet can discuss it, it’s not like the whole Internet is looking for him.
Something else must have happened.
"Okay, I'll go and see for myself."
Gao Yuan did not hang up the phone. After switching to the background, he opened the You APP.
After watching a few videos, he knew the reason for Director Jay's call.
It was just this reason that made him a little dumbfounded.
"Old Zhou, what does this have to do with me!"
"I'm not from your circle."
On the other side of the phone, Jay Chou also smiled and said, "Fans don't care whether you are in the industry or not."
"During this period, Yuanfang Auto is so popular that many people took out the video of the two of us singing."
"This is not just in time for this year's singer competition. Fans will @out you when they get angry."
What the two people were talking about was a hot news that just broke out today.
The reason is that when the singer competition begins in 2024, the previous rules have been completely changed.
Not only is it being broadcast live, but the original sound is also broadcast live without any audio editing.
The public is obviously happy to see this.
After all, it’s easy to tell whether a singer is good or bad without correcting the sound.
but,
This time the singer competition invited foreign contestants, and they were not even top foreign singers.
In fact, these are nothing. Competing on the same stage at home and abroad can bring more fun and new ideas.
The bad thing is that the domestic singers actually lost.
And she is also known as the queen of the music industry, Naying.
After a lot of effort, I got second place.
After Gao Yuan understood the whole story, he just smiled.
Public@He was just playing along and had no real intention of asking him to compete.
"I didn't pay attention to this news. It will probably fade away after a while."
Gao Yuan said casually.
In fact, he is very aware of this hype model. It is most likely that the singing competition is deliberately created this way.
The purpose is to completely heat up this singer competition and increase the topic.
Unexpectedly, Jay Chou spoke again: "There are indeed factors of hype, but in reality it is probably like this."
"Those two foreign singers are really good."
After a series of explanations from Director Jay, Gao Yuan probably understood.
But he still had no idea of standing up and responding.
What an international joke.
He is not a professional singer, so it is not his turn to be embarrassed.
Besides, he is the boss of a billion-dollar group and is going to participate in a singing competition.
What is this for?
Do you want to prove how good you are at singing?
He is free!
"Lao Gao, I think it's better for you to respond to the public."
Director Zhou heard that Gao Yuan was still unwilling to come forward and persuaded him.
"Why?"
Gao Yuan had already walked near the square dance. He found a stone bench and sat down, ready to listen to Jay Chou's thoughts.
"First, this time the word "50-year-old lady guarding the country" was mentioned. Although this is an element of hype for Na Young, it reminds people of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' invasion of China."
"So, if you participate in this singing competition and win first place, then you will be a national hero."
"This will be of great benefit to the national brand you proposed. Maybe when Yuanfang Car goes on sale, it will become more popular."
When Gao Yuan heard Director Jay's first idea, his expression became more serious.
Don't tell me yet,
Jay Chou’s idea and perspective on the problem are very commercial!
It makes sense that this guy has made money over the years.
"What about second and third?"
Gao Yuan began to take this matter seriously.
"There is no third, but there is a second."
Jay Chou said angrily.
"Let's talk about it, maybe I'll want to participate."
Gao Yuan encouraged Director Jay.
"Second, it's actually very simple. You just don't care about this singing competition. If you did, you would understand."
"If you don't sign up this time, it's very likely that this singer competition will be just a show, and it will continue without a bottom line."
"But if you sign up, at least in the period you participate in, there will be absolute fairness. After all, your identity is there."
"To conquer the fans, do you think you will become the person with the most fans in the history of the country?"
Director Jay Chou told Gao Yuan a lot, until Gao Yuan's mother came to him after dancing in the square.
Gao Yuan said to Director Jay: "Okay, let me think about it."
After the two hung up the phone, Gao Yuan walked home with his mother.
During this journey, he was really thinking about this matter, and he also opened the YouNi APP, Douyin, and Weibo to check it out.
He found that each of his accounts was @and private messages from countless people.
Back home.
Gao Yuan sat on the sofa, thought for a while, and recorded a video.
In the video, Gao Yuan smiled and greeted the fans, and then said: "Thank you for your love, I have read your private messages and @my content."
"It's a pity that the official didn't invite me. If necessary, I am willing to participate."
In these two simple sentences, he did not mention that he would take the initiative to participate, but said that he had no objection to participating in this singer competition.
In this way, it is equivalent to throwing the ball to the organizer of the singer competition.
It depends on how they will deal with this matter.
If they don't deal with it, Gao Yuan has his own way.
After recording the video, Gao Yuan did not publish it immediately, but forwarded the video to the four-person group.
Lin Wanyu: "Brother, are you going to participate in the singer competition?"
Xiao Xiao: "Do you have any ideas?"
Li Mengqing:?
Gao Yuan briefly talked about the content of his chat with Jay Chou.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanyu sent a video call.
"Brother, I support you!"
"You will definitely be able to beat those two foreign women if you participate in the competition!"
Gao Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Lin Wanyu's words.
Does he still need to fight for these false names?
At this time, Xiao Xiao looked at Gao Yuan seriously and said, "Zhou Dong's idea is indeed very good. If you participate, it will be a good thing for you and Yuanfang."
"But I'm afraid the organizer will not invite you."
"With your status, participating in the competition may disrupt all their plans."
Gao Yuan nodded.
He did think of this level, so he didn't say that he took the initiative to sign up in the recorded video.
"You send the video, and I'll do the rest."
Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
Gao Yuan saw Xiao Xiao's smile and knew that she must have some ideas again.
However,
This is also good. He just needs to post the video, and let Xiao Xiao do the rest, so he doesn't have to worry.
The video is sent.
Gao Yuan now has more than 50 million fans on his personal account, making him the biggest internet celebrity among domestic entrepreneurs.
He couldn't finish posting videos, but the number of likes instantly exceeded 100,000. In addition, YouApp specifically promoted the videos posted by its boss.
And this video didn't get the most likes.
Instead, the most comments and reposts.
For a while,
Gao Yuan's video was circulated crazily on various platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo.
At first, Mango TV, the organizer of the singer competition, didn't care.
There have been many singers who have taken the initiative to ask for the competition during this period, and now there is just one more businessman.
However,
before long, the whole network was @Mango TV.
At this time, some people on Mango TV saw it, but still didn't care.
They didn't want to pay attention to such content because they knew very well that this singer competition was hyping up traffic.
If they really cared, they didn't know how many singers they would offend, and whether they would hold the singer competition in the future.
Moreover,
they also knew something about Gao Yuan.
If a billionaire boss is invited, it would be like inviting an ancestor.
How can we get inside information at that time?
Magic City.
Xiao Xiao was in the living room, looking at the various information collected by her subordinates.
She was very satisfied with Mango TV's attitude of not responding.
Since she learned that Gao Yuan was going to respond to the public, she knew very well what the result would be.
And her purpose of secretly fueling the flames was to stir up this topic as soon as possible.
However,
her real purpose was not to let Gao Yuan participate in the so-called singing competition.
"The hype of this topic will continue for another three days. As many water armies as possible will be used, and all the pressure will be put on Mango TV."
"In addition, the stage construction must be completed within this week. I will send you the invitation list of foreign superstars in the next two days."
After reading the report, Xiao Xiao sent this message to her subordinates.
Three days later.
An entertainment company in Magic City suddenly held a press conference.
It announced that a global singing competition will be held next week.
This singing competition selects singers from all over the world, without any sound adjustment or insider information, and is absolutely fair and just.
The competition atmosphere is divided into four regions: China, Europe, America, and other regions.
Each region will select 10 singers.
The prize money of the entire global singing competition is as high as 1 billion yuan.
One champion will be awarded 300 million yuan.
Two runners-up will be awarded 200 million yuan each.
Three third runners-up will be awarded 100 million yuan each.
As for the singers who registered for the competition, each will be awarded 100,000 yuan for participation, and outstanding performers will receive a GG endorsement contract from the title sponsor.
The title sponsor of this global singing competition is the Rudie brand under Yuanfang Skin Care Products.
The co-sponsors are Yuanfang's Pregnancy Center, Yuanfang Automobile, and Weilai Automobile.
There are two broadcasting platforms for this global singing competition.
The TV broadcasting platform is CCTV's music platform exclusively.
The online broadcasting platform is Youni APP exclusively.
Once this news was released.
It exploded directly at the press conference.
It would be fine if they held a global singing competition, but the prize money was as high as 1 billion. If you add the participation fees of other singers and the endorsement fees of GG.
The total cost of holding the global singing competition this time is probably more than 1 billion.
Is this still an entertainment program?
In just one hour.
The whole network was boiling again!
Of course, Xiao Xiao’s promotion was indispensable.
When Gao Yuan knew the news, he called Xiao Xiao as soon as possible.
"Is it such a big deal?"
"Aren’t you going to participate in the singing competition of Mango TV?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Isn’t it that they don’t like you!"
Gao Yuan was a little speechless and said, "If they don’t like you, then don’t like you. Why spend more than 10 billion to vent your anger?"
"It’s worth it!"
Xiao Xiao told Gao Yuan all the plans.
Her plan is to gather singers from all over the world together.
Mango didn’t just find two second-rate singers, so she would find international singing superstars.
Moreover.
Although the rewards for this event are huge, the benefits it brings to Yuanfang are also huge.
According to Xiao Xiao's answer, the return rate of spending these tens of billions is at least more than 10 billion.
"Okay, you have a brain, so you have the final say."
Gao Yuan didn't care.
Since Xiao Xiao wants to do it, then do it.
It's so big, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the country and show the domestic culture internationally.
He just hung up the phone.
A notification was received on the phone.
"Yuanfang Automobile CEO Gao Yuan was invited to participate in the 2024 singer competition and will compete with domestic and foreign players on the same stage!"
This time, Gao Yuan was really speechless.
Xiao Xiao's GG came really fast!
The next moment.
Gao Yuan's phone rang.
He saw that it was another call from Jay Chou and answered it directly.
"Lao Gao, your wife is awesome!"
"How about we plan this event?"
When Gao Yuan heard Jay Chou's words, he didn't understand that Xiao Xiao had contacted Jay Chou before this event.
He shook his head helplessly and said to the phone: "Old Zhou, I have been cheated by your music circle!"
Jay laughed on the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, Gao Yuan, you are the boss of Yuanfang Automobile. If you participate in the competition, the sales of Yuanxing will definitely reach a new level!"
Gao Yuan responded with a wry smile: "Then should I thank you?"
"Yes, you should thank us for giving you the opportunity to show your talent!" Jay said half-jokingly.
Gao Yuan knew in his heart that he might really participate in this singing competition.
If nothing else, it was for the image of Yuanfang Automobile and for his own company.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and began to analyze the situation.
He knew his strength. Although he was not a professional singer, he still had a certain foundation in singing.
He also knew that this singing competition was not only a music competition, but also a battle of honor.
If he did well, everything would be fine.
If he did not do well, he would probably be scolded to death.
And taking advantage of this event, he wanted to gain more attention for his company and more market share for his brand.
Just.
What song will he sing?
He has only sung other people's songs before, but not his own songs!
If he participates in the competition and sings other people's songs, wouldn't that be a big loss of points?
