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

Chapter 654 The Brave Wins
Then, the K4 band came to Yinguo, and was asked the same question in an exclusive interview with Yinguo's largest entertainment newspaper, Tianyu.

White, the drummer of the K4 band, replied cynically: "This reminds me of the three major boxing organizations' heavyweight boxing champion challenge three years ago. , but the result of the match was that Harota only lasted 3 minute and 1 seconds on the ring."

Then, the K4 band came to Faguo. After participating in the outdoor activities of the endorsement brand, they received interviews from more than ten local media and were asked the same question again.

Dawes, the guitarist of the K4 band, curled up a sleeve to show off his barely qualified muscles in the eyes of bodybuilders, and grinned: "Hey, look at my muscles. Is my muscle great?" I think so too, it’s not worse than Schnettig.”

Schnettig is a legend in the American bodybuilding industry.

Dawes is comparing his less-than-great muscles to Old Boys and K4 to Schnettig.

Funny, humorous, full of sarcasm and disdain.

This tone is the favorite of the Omi people, and it is even more prevalent that the superiors look down on the inferiors, showing aggressive domineering.

At the same time, all countries in the Asian region, including Huaguo, have entertainment media, brokerage companies, and chain audio-visual stores, and launched a campaign to fans regarding the prediction of the outcome of the musical soul collision of the old boy band VSK4. poll.

The results, without exception, are more than 4% optimistic about the K[-] band.

When the K4 band came to Xiaohan, an island country in Asia, including Hong Kong Island in Huaguo, they changed their previous style. In an interview with the media, they stated in a concise, confident and superior manner that the goal of the K4 band since its establishment And the purpose is always the same, demanding excellence in music, music that satisfies oneself and also satisfies fans.

And the sparks from the challenges are like catalysts, which help the K4 band to break through themselves. Therefore, not only are they not afraid of challenges, but they also welcome them.

It's Friday, and there are three days before the release of the old boy band.

Huacan Records, conference room.

The senior management of the group gathered together.

"Speaking is better than singing, and it is clearly following the routine designed by public relations. I bet these guys are definitely two faces."

Shen Guanchang threw the collected entertainment newspapers from various countries on the table, with a sneer on his lips.

Su Ting flipped through a piece of the entertainment newspaper that ranked second in Xiao Korea, and said calmly: "Stop making such useless complaints, and talk about the effect of publicity."

Shen Guanchang sighed, and said with some reluctance: "Qiandai is worthy of being one of the six international giants. He has studied the customs and customs of all countries in the world deeply, and then prescribes the right medicine. In terms of the effect of pre-heating publicity, it is better than Huacui."

As the marketing director, he knew in his heart that with the popular topic of the old boy band VSK4, both parties were also trying to gain popularity, and the K4 band obviously had a greater effect.

Especially in Asia. In the past, the popularity of the K4 band was at most comparable to the second-tier singers in Asia, but now it is at least comparable to the first-line singers in Asia.

I learned from the dealer that the sales outlets in various countries in the Asian region have seen a sharp increase in the sales of the records released by the K4 band these days, and many video stores have directly sold out their inventory.

On the other hand, the old boy band pales in comparison. The popularity is there, but it is dry.

The album has not been released yet, and fans' first impressions are already largely inclined to the K4 band.

This is where the gap in public relations shows. To borrow the words of the lead singer of the K4 band when he was interviewed in the United States, the marketing department of Qiandai Entertainment is like a professional team. In contrast, the marketing department of Huacan is an amateur team.

Ni Houdao spread his hands and said helplessly, "The entertainment industry in America is much more developed than in China. The packaging, positioning, and publicity of artists have long been systematic. This is really incomparable."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again: "However, in the competition of records, the key to winning or losing is two points. The singer's popularity and the quality of the songs on the record. The public has ears and the ability to judge. It's not just what the media says is good. If the media says it’s not good, then it’s not good.”

Li looked at Shen Guanchang, and said: "The old boy band is newly formed. It can enter the public eye during the campaign and gain widespread popularity. In my opinion, it is already a success."

"Next, I will only mention one thing about the promotion after the release of the film. It is necessary to arrange the old boy band and the K4 band to compete in the same arena as much as possible. As Mr. Ni said, the public has ears and the ability to judge. What we have to do It is to allow the public to make comparisons most intuitively, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!"

Everyone looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Compete in the same arena is a double-edged sword, especially the old boy band VSK4 has been so popular.

The price of winning or losing is a trade-off.

The K4 band has capital, even if it loses for a while, it won't lose everything, but for the old boy band, it is a last stand!
Is it really appropriate to do this?

In fact, in their hearts, they are also cautious about the old boy band being able to overtake the K4 band in record sales.

After all, the level difference between the two bands is too much. After the publicity campaign, the polls of fans in various countries in the Asian region are all in favor of the old boy bands, which can be seen.

As long as the old boy band's new album can meet the conventional internal sales expectations, it is also an acceptable result not to lose too badly.

Li Kai saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and was not surprised at all. In the past few days, the five companies or the bosses who joined forces contacted him and Qiao Li in person or through someone, and they all expressed a kind of worry tactfully, thinking that this kind of Challenging publicity methods may be counterproductive.

Normal, just like what the commander in an ancient costume movie said on Earth in the previous life, our army has only 10 people, and the opponent has 50. It is human nature for soldiers to fear the enemy, but as long as they win the first battle , the military spirit will pop out.

To borrow a sentence from many ancient costume films in the previous life on Earth, the first battle is the decisive battle, and the first battle will determine the universe!

Wanting to force Chiyo to bow his head and give an explanation, and wanting to step on Chiyo's position, so as to achieve the fastest position among Chinese singers in the international music scene, the old boy band VSK4 is both the first battle and the decisive battle!
Once they lose, or if they can't form a match for their rivals, the Four Dog Days will challenge the Chiyo Band next, and it will become a grandstanding in the eyes of the insiders and a clown performance in the eyes of the public.

"If you don't speak, that's the default. It's unanimously approved. The Four Dog Days band has almost rested. Continue recording. I'll go first."

Li stood up with his long body wide open, and walked out of the meeting room briskly, leaving everyone to look at me and look at you, shaking their heads and smiling wryly.

Two days later.

on Monday.

At 10 a.m. local time in the United States, the K4 band's new album release conference was grandly held on the outdoor lawn of the gorgeous Milongmei Hotel.

The on-site layout alone cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Chiyo's banner, friends in the circle, five international first-line singers alone, and two international popular first-line movie stars.

Nearly [-] media reporters were present.

The director of the marketing department of Chiyo Entertainment, a well-known devil musician in the circle, Elman announced on behalf of the company that the new album of the K4 band will be released in 42 regions and 700 countries, with a total cost of [-] million yuan.

Ten hours later.

10 a.m. Tuesday, China time.

The new album release conference of the Old Boys was held on the outdoor lawn of Maca Villa.

A simple stage was set up, with some drinks and snacks on the side, and the cost was less than 2 yuan. Compared with the K4 band's press conference, it was obviously too shabby.

Except for Li Kai who was present as a songwriter to help out, none of Huacan's other singers appeared.

After all, the old boy band is newly formed, and Adelaide is only a front line, and there is no filming for a year and a half. Spend.

Quite a few reporters came, over a hundred from home and abroad.

Su Ting personally announced on behalf of Huacan that the new album of the old boy band will be released in Asia, Europe and America, a total of 31 countries, with a total cost of 2000 million.

Compared with the K4 band, there are 11 fewer countries to release, and at the same time, the total cost of the album is only 4% of the K4 band.

According to the original publicity plan, the promotion period of the old boy band is 3 weeks and more than 1 day. It should first be promoted in China for 4 days, then fly to European countries for 7 days, then fly to the United States for 3 days, and Canada for 1 day. , and finally returned to Asia, and promoted for 5 days in 7 countries including South Korea and island countries.

However, Li Kai's decision to "compete in the same field" disrupted the planned blockbuster.

As soon as the press conference was over, the Old Boys rushed to the airport and boarded a flight to the United States.

After more than ten hours, we landed at the Ohio airport.

Spring break is like Thanksgiving and the Super Bowl. In the United States, it is not just a festival for young college students who like to be lively. Every year in March and April, looking for a warm and comfortable place has gradually become a popular tourist vacation for American families and couples of all ages. Way.

The world-famous tourist destination, Huangyan Park is located in Ohio.

This year, Huangyan Park will launch a new scenic spot, which will be officially opened to tourists at zero o'clock the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow night, a carnival will be held in the lake center square of the park. Many artists will be invited to perform live, as well as a firework show and a countdown to zero o'clock. Activity.

And this carnival will be broadcast live through five TV stations in the United States.

In order to help Old Boys get the opportunity to perform on stage, Shen Guanchang directly contacted the person in charge of the event and gave two reasons that the other party could not refuse.

First, Huangyan Park is a well-known tourist attraction in the world. Since it is for publicity, the performers should come from all over the world. Of course, the most important thing is that there are millions of overseas Chinese in the United States. It is too high, and the consumption power should not be underestimated. A Chinese band singing will make them feel more cordial.

Second, the old boy band not only did not want to pay an appearance fee, but Huacan was willing to pay 10 yuan.

After dusk, night fell.

The lake center square in Yellowstone Park is crowded with people, surrounded by hundreds of spotlights alternating light and dark, the stage in front of it is not overly decorated, but there are two 5-meter-high King Kong standing on both sides, which brings a sense of oppression like alcohol, and makes people feel a sense of oppression. excitement and agitation.

From time to time, a bunch of fireworks rushes into the sky, which can arouse screams and jubilation.

The overall feeling is not so much like an open-air concert scene, but more like a bar hall without alcohol.

After seven o'clock, the sound of the music suddenly became more intense, and the lights of the stage became more beautiful. A dozen or so people with bare shoulders and half thighs came to the center of the stage and danced to the rhythm of the music with vitality and strength. There is no shortage of seductive and provocative dances.

Three sets of dances in a row lasted about 15 minutes, mobilizing the emotions of the audience.

Everywhere I looked, I saw excited faces and writhing figures.

After the dance, the stage lights were dimmed.

In the background, the four members of the Old Boys Band could hear screams or strange screams from the scene. They all took a breath and passed a "come on" look to each other, then trotted across the aisle to the stage.

The Old Boys Band was arranged to be the first one to be sung by the singers, not because they paid attention to it, but on the contrary, they were the least valued. For a carnival night that lasted for more than four hours, it was only a warm-up period before 07:30.

This is also helpless, who told the old boy band to release a film for the first time in the international music scene, and the existence of pure newcomers was still added temporarily.

The treatment of the K4 band is completely different. They are arranged to be on stage around 10 o'clock before the electronic music carnival.

In addition, the K4 band can also get an appearance fee of 30 yuan.

This also shows the disparity in the weight of the two in the minds of the organizers.

The stage lighting once again illuminated the stage, and when the audience saw the four strange-faced men from Asia who were in charge of their positions on the stage, the atmosphere dropped significantly.

The scene also became noisy.

It felt like in a bar, after a long period of strong dance music, soothing music was played.

Sweaty guests jumping, returning to rest, clinking glasses, chatting, what should everyone do.

Feeling such an atmosphere and seeing such a scene, the drummer and bassist, including Huang Xiaotian, the guitarist and sub-singer, were all heartbroken.

Only Ade seemed very calm. After his debut, he has experienced hundreds of commercial performances, and all kinds of scenes are not surprising.

"Hi everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you all. We are an old boy band from China." Ade's unhurried voice came out of the microphone. Since he was in the United States, he did as the Romans did, speaking English.

As soon as the name of the "Old Boys Band" came out, there were a lot of surprises on the scene. After a while, there was no usual applause and cheers, but there were boos, whistles, and abuse, and it became louder and louder. Many people even raised their arms high and gestured to get off the stage with fierce expressions.

This scene made the hearts of Huang Xiaotian and the others sink suddenly, and their expressions became very ugly.
