After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 653 Old Boys Band VSK4 Band
Entertainment Fighting is a small and medium-sized entertainment magazine in the United States that has been published for less than 2 years.

Once a week, in the past six months, the sales volume has been stable between 25 and 35.

However, in the latest issue on Monday, there was a strange surge. On the day of release, 40% of the 40 copies printed in batches were sold.

On the cover of the magazine, two cartoon big hands are clasped, forming a pattern of arm wrestling. Above the pattern is the title, the old boy band VSK4, a peak duel of musical souls.

Open the magazine, the second page reports in detail the interview with the lead singer of the old boy band, Ade. After adding oil and vinegar, it is more direct, ostentatious, domineering and exciting.

On the back, there are detailed introductions, comparisons, and analyzes of the two bands.

I don't know how to analyze it. The conclusion is that the dragon and the tiger fight, and the outcome is unpredictable.

The biggest reason for the magazine's sudden bestseller was this exclusive shocking news.

The old boy band is very unfamiliar to the American people, but the K4 band is well-known in the United States, especially among young people, with a huge fan base.

One of the most outstanding new-generation bands in the international music scene, with its very individual music style, it has been singing all the way since its debut, climbing to the top of the line.

Known as a soul band.

Ade said in an interview that the styles of each other are quite similar, so it is defined as a peak duel of musical souls.

That afternoon, after the Old Boys finished their program on a music radio station, they were surrounded by journalists from many media who rushed to them. Ade did not shy away from repeating his "declaration of war" in the previous interview.

Originally the release time was scheduled for the beginning of April, but now it is only brought forward for the same week as the K4 band. Their styles are similar to each other, so it happens to be male and female.

after one day.

More than a dozen entertainment newspapers published relevant reports on the front pages one after another. The titles and content of the reports were various and diverse, but they all had one characteristic, shocking enough and attracting attention.

Attention has skyrocketed.

Fans of K4 were outraged.

a day.

There have been more than half a million messages blasting the Old Boys on the Internet.

At the music radio station where the Old Boys were doing shows, the three customer service hotlines were overwhelmed with harassing calls.

At square rallies in many places in the United States, banners attacking old boy bands were pulled out.

In bars, nightclubs, and leisure places, you can hear the pursuit and support of the K4 band, as well as the abuse and ridicule of the old boy band.

The Old Boys, who were involved, had already patted their butts and left, and took a flight to Canada, the next stop for the promotional campaign.

Two days later, the same happened in Canada.

The K4 band is not as popular in Canada as it is in the United States, but it is still much more prosperous than the old boy band that released its first international music film.

In the next few days, Ouyu Faguo, Deguo, etc., also performed similar scenes one after another.

People in the circle originally regarded it as a hype method for old boy bands, and no one really cared about it, but with the continuous expansion of social influence, more and more people talked about this topic, and it became heated.

Saturday night.

The latest update of the International Top [-] List.

On the singles list, the first and second hits of Calini's albums all entered the top three as expected. Among them, the first hit continued to top the list, and the second hit ranked third.

The album chart also entered the top three as expected, ranking second.

That's not surprising, because Callini's albums combined sold more than 227 million copies last week.

Compared with the peak week sales of Xicheng Boys, it was more than 10 copies, and it was nearly 30 more copies than the peak week sales of the Double Queen.

In the charts of countries in Europe and Asia, the first and second titles of Kaleini's albums have been on the list one after another, especially "BABY" has won about one-third of the list.

All indications are that Kalai Ni's album is unstoppable, and the first and second hits are already very popular.

In the international music circle, there are more and more voices in the international music circle that Callini will succeed in sealing the album with this album.

Two hours after the top [-] list was updated, at eleven o'clock at night in Huaguo time, Shen Guanchang, who was in a quiet and cold war with his girlfriend, called Xue Bing out and was eating supper when an overseas call came to his mobile phone.

The other party spoke Chinese, and his tone was bad when he came up.

"Is it the marketing director of Huacan Group, Mr. Shen Guanchang?"

"I am, who are you?"

"I'm Mark from the Marketing Department of Chidai Entertainment. On behalf of the company, I solemnly request to you that the old boy band's use of K4's promotional methods violates the rules of the circle and must be stopped immediately."

Shen Guanchang was already in a bad mood. Hearing what the other party said arrogantly, he immediately became angry and said in a high voice, "If you say you violate the rules of the circle, you violate the rules of the circle. If you say stop, you stop. Who do you think you are? Ah, listen to me, the old boy band is going to take the lead with the K4 band, if you are afraid, the K4 band can postpone the release of the film."

After all, hang up directly.

Xue Bing looked at his sullen face, frowned and said, "Who? Are you so angry?"

"A person named Mark from Chidai Entertainment said that the old boy band used K4 to promote the band and violated the rules of the circle. It is simply unreasonable to ask us to stop this kind of promotion immediately."

Shen Guanchang took a stuffed meatball from the hot pot and chewed it vigorously for a few times, then suddenly stopped, and opened his mouth to spit it out.

The tribute balls were just cooked, and they were still raw.

Xue Bing originally wanted to say something, but seeing him like this, he shook his head silently, and changed his words: "What's the matter with you and Shen Jing?"

"It's nothing, she's making trouble for no reason."

"Don't tell me, I'll ask your brother to ask you."

Xue Bing took out his mobile phone, and Shen Guanchang quickly reached out to stop him, but Xue Bing didn't insist, and took a piece of mutton with his chopsticks: "I'll talk to your brother later."

Shen Guanchang suddenly showed a bitter face: "Bingge, I just don't dare to tell my brother, alas, it's okay, I'll confess, and you can give me some advice."

Xue Bing hummed.

Shen Guanchang pondered for a while, and said truthfully: "Shen Jing and I started dating the year before last, but the company has regulations that new singers are not allowed to fall in love without the company's approval during the contract period. This is also the default rule in the circle."

"In order to prevent Shen Jing from being overwhelmed, when my uncle and my parents came to Shenzhen together, I took Shen Jing to meet them. During the meal, my brother didn't come."

"Later, my brother talked to me in private, meaning that we can continue to communicate, but we can't break the company's rules, and the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend can't be put on the bright side."

"After I told Shen Jing, she didn't have any objections. Anyway, the contract is for three years, and there will be no restrictions in this regard after three years. We are still young, and we are not in a hurry to get married."

"But the situation has changed now. It's been almost a year and a half since the bet. It's not yet clear when Shen Jing's new album will be approved. And since I had dinner with my parents, I haven't brought any She has participated in family gatherings, Shen Jing is very worried about her future as a singer, and whether my family will really recognize her, especially since this year, every time we date alone, she will bring up this matter and always criticize me Brother and He Jingyun are engaged to talk about something, and you want me to get engaged to her first, isn't this nonsense?"

"There is still a year and a half left for the new couple's appointment. If I get engaged to her, will the company's rules become useless?"

Speaking of this, Shen Guanchang tugged at his collar, sighed wistfully and shook his head, poured a glass of beer, and drank it upside down.

If Xue Bing was a student, Xue Bing would definitely throw a sentence in the past: "Tell me, if you really like Shen Jing, then get your marriage certificate, and then take the marriage certificate to meet your parents. Don't get engaged, just hold a wedding banquet. Even if Li Kai is angry with you, I don't believe he can still deny you as a cousin, if you don't want to get married, then there is nothing to say, man, you have to be free and easy when you live, and look forward to the future."

But now everyone has different identities. The higher the position, the heavier the responsibility, and the less you can act rashly.

Xue Bing was not in a hurry to answer, and slowly drank beer and thought for a while, before saying: "The relationship between you and Shen Jing is clear to everyone in the company, President Su will not deliberately suppress Shen Jing, unless it is Li Kai's instruction, but I believe Li Kai Since they acquiesced, they would never say one thing and do another, didn't Liang Qiumo and Jiang Hua also have a new album project? The company will definitely arrange it next."

"Tell me, Shen Jing's uneasiness is that you are not what you used to be, not only the marketing director of Huacan Records, but also the marketing director of the group, and a shareholder, but she is only a quasi-first-line singer. To be ranked first is simply not enough for Huacan."

"What's more, Li Kai has never acknowledged her relationship with you in front of her. You still have to find Li Kai, give him a call, and ask him to give you an accurate statement."

As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Guanchang's mobile phone on the table.

Shen Guanchang smiled wryly, he was not afraid of anyone in the family, only Li Kai.

Xue Bing guessed something from the look of his ink marks, and said with a sneer: "You boy, you dragged me out for supper, and confessed truthfully, the purpose is to let me help you convey to Li Kai, right?"

Shen Guanchang shook his head hastily, Xue Bing stared straight at him, felt guilty, Shen Guanchang pleaded: "Brother Bing, please help me find out what my brother is saying."

Xue Bing stared at him for a while, shook his head silently, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed out. Shen Guanchang thought it was too late, so he swallowed the words again.

The other end rang a few times, and after picking it up, Li Kai's lazy voice came: "I'm having a convulsion, why don't you check what time it is?"

"Shen Guanchang and I are eating supper, are you coming?"

"It's really elegant. Tomorrow, Dog Days' new album will officially start recording. I have to go there early in the morning, so let's go to bed early."

"Oh, let's talk to you on the phone."

Xue Bing didn't talk nonsense, and roughly recounted what Shen Guanchang told him.

Li Kai was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "Shen Jing's new album Su Ting asked me, she is the first-line, the Asian music circle releases the album, the international music circle releases the film, it is not her turn for the time being, or it is still released in China. film, or release a single to test the waters in the Asian music scene, I have said long ago that I do not own the company alone, everything follows the rules, and the same goes for getting engaged, follow the company rules."

"As for bringing Shen Jing to the house, I never said no. This is Shen Guanchang's own decision."

Xue Bing turned on the hands-free, Shen Guanchang heard it clearly, and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the last sentence.

Xue Bing was just passing on the word, not commenting: "There is one more thing, people from Qiandai called Shen Guanchang just now."

Talked about the other party's attitude, and then said: "Guanchang was pissed off by the other party. He didn't mention what Chiyo told him, and he just went back, saying that the old boy band is going to step on the K4 band."

What Xue Bing said was an understatement, Shen Guanchang was breaking out in cold sweat, just now he got angry and impulsive, as the marketing director, how could he not know, stepping on the other party to take the position, this is a big taboo, if Chiyo recorded the audio , and then make it public, it will make the old boy band and even Huacan the target of public criticism in the circle.

Today you step on a certain singer under Chiyo, and tomorrow you can step on a singer under another company
This is exactly the same as what Ade said in the interview, the styles are similar to each other, and seeing each other is a completely different concept.

One is courage and courage, a hero, and the other is domineering and aggressive, a destroyer.

"Let Shen Guanchang listen to the phone." This time, Li Kai was silent for a while, and upon hearing his instructions, Xue Bing handed over the phone and cast Shen Guanchang a "self-seeking" look.

"Brother, I, I caused trouble." Shen Guanchang bit the bullet and took it with a difficult tone. Li Kai cut off his words: "I wanted to hide it for a while, but now I can't hide it. Tomorrow morning, you contact the five families including Nisuo and tell them Chiyo is the one behind the scandal between me and He Jingyun. I can't be bullied, but I don't care about Chiyo's insidious tricks. Therefore, I declared war on Chiyo with open swords and sharp guns, and asked them to use their network to disseminate the news as quickly as possible. In China, Asia, and Omi music circles spread."

Shen Guanchang responded immediately.

Just as Shen Guanchang predicted, Chiyo used his response on the phone to find record companies in the circle, not only in the United States, but also in Europe, and even record companies in various countries in Asia.

After Chiyo provided the evidence of the phone recording, it aroused the hostility of many record companies towards Huacan.

However, without waiting for them to fight against each other, Chiyo was behind the scandal that broke out between Li Kai and He Jingyun. Huacan couldn't bear to be bullied, but she didn't care about Chiyo's insidious tricks, so she decided to declare war on Chiyo directly. Spread like wings in the circle.

Hearing this news, the record companies' hostility towards Huacan immediately subsided a lot, and they put away their plans to show their talents and trip the Old Boys Band.

Since the incident happened for a reason, Hua Can just focused on Qiandai to start the war, while other record companies were happy to watch from the sidelines.

Even some record companies that have cooperated with Chiyo originally wanted to contribute a third of their efforts, but now they have turned into secretly helping each other, just contributing a part of their efforts.

Qiandai Entertainment's call came again, this time contacting Li Kai's manager, Qiao Li.

Qiao Li's response was very straightforward. There were two choices. First, Chiyo gave an explanation, and second, fought openly!

It is naturally impossible to give an explanation, and Chiyo will not admit that he is behind the scenes, so there is only one choice left, to fight!
Before hanging up the phone, the other party borrowed a phrase from Hua Guo: "If an egg hits a stone, it will kill itself!"

on Monday.

The K4 band started the promotion of the new album, a week shorter than the old boy band.

However, as Zhenghong's top international band, the promotional treatment they enjoy is top-notch.

That night, I was on a talk show on Channel 4 of the United States. When asked about the odds of winning the old boy band VSK4, Sean, the host of the K[-] band, said sarcastically: "This is like a When an amateur team challenges a professional team, the only suspense is not winning or losing, but how many points the professional team can win."
