Chapter 939: Making plans at night, preparing to leave
In Busan, South Korea, when night falls slowly, the bright stars fill the night sky like fine diamonds, intertwined with the colorful neon lights in the city, and together they outline a beautiful scene.
Brilliant picture.
However, in a hotel room, the couple and team members had no intention of admiring the charming night view outside the window.
At this moment, they were gathering in the living room to enjoy dinner, and everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, some seemed in a daze, and some showed lingering fears.
, looking terrified.
Just yesterday, they arrived in Busan and participated in an event closely related to the local Women's Federation. This was already their fourth stop in South Korea to promote the film.
After a sufficient and comfortable night's rest, after waking up this morning, everyone gathered together to discuss business options for the fifth stop of the road show.
Heading to Daegu? Or heading to Daejeon?
Should you choose Ulsan? Or go to Gyeongju?
Along the way, the publicity situation has been great, and the extraordinary response has prompted many businesses and even TV stations in South Korea to send them business invitations.
Such a situation also made everyone gradually regard this trip as a pleasant foreign trip, and everyone's heart was filled with a relaxed and happy mood.
But when everyone was happily discussing where to go next, a piece of news about the Seoul parade suddenly came like a bombshell, instantly shocking everyone.
The discussion atmosphere was also frozen in an instant.
Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, and everyone was stunned.
Parade in Seoul? That’s fine.
The most incredible thing is that the slogan of the parade turned out to be Liu Yifei's remarks?
Isn’t this amazing?
Even though Choi Min-jae has been in South Korea for nearly ten years and has always thought that he knows the social environment of South Korea very well, the scenes of demonstrations shown on the TV news caused his brain to shut down in an instant.
It shattered his outlook on life.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if someone in China initiates some kind of protest movement, but uses the so-called "democracy and freedom" of foreign countries to talk about it, it will definitely be a great shame for the country.
China has a vast and long-lasting civilization spanning five thousand years. Couldn't the protesters find corresponding allusions or rhetoric to use?
Instead, using culture exported from foreign countries to slander our own country is simply an insult and a ridiculous joke.
Looking at this news about South Korea with this kind of thinking, in the same way, doesn’t South Korea have its own history? Doesn’t South Korea have its own cultural heritage?
Isn’t it embarrassing to hold a demonstration and use Liu Yifei’s slogans to protest? Isn’t it ridiculous?
However, since such slogans can be shouted, the women participating in the parade may not feel embarrassed.
But he knew very well that these women might not feel embarrassed, but the power holders in the park would definitely feel extremely embarrassed and lose their face.
For the people of their own country to use the culture of another country to fight against the highest authority of their own country, their face can be said to be completely gone in an instant.
He really couldn't figure out what those women on TV were thinking and behaving like this.
But after a whole day of communication and in-depth discussions among a group of people, he interpreted it from the perspectives of several women such as Liu Yifei and Li Hu, and gradually gained some understanding.
If South Korean women have a firm spiritual support, why would they need to be obsessed with Princess Nihuang?
If South Korean women can get enough social support, how can they fanatically pursue Liu Yifei?
In the final analysis, it is because the timing of the appearance of "Legend of Red Flame" in the first half of the year is just right, and after half a year of spread and profound influence, the appearance of Liu Yifei in the second half of the year seems to be very timely.
Until now, a character in the play, and her actor, have accurately filled the hole in the hearts of South Korean women that they desperately want to fill at the right time, which ultimately led to the seemingly absurd parade and those few events.
The emergence of a slogan.
But no matter what the reasons behind it are, the facts have already happened, and it doesn't make much sense to think about it anymore.
The most critical question at the moment is, can the road show continue smoothly?
A more severe consideration is what will the South Korean official's attitude be towards them?
The two questions raised by this sudden incident forced a group of them to temporarily cancel their plans to continue the road show. They could only watch the development of the situation closely while discussing together what to do next.
Until the night in front of them, they still couldn't come up with a clear result of the discussion. The main reason was that the impact of this incident on them was so huge that they hadn't recovered yet. For a while, no one felt that way.
Take the time to think carefully about the next step and plan.
[“In response to this morning’s demonstration, the Blue House Information Office stated that the research working group is already studying and discussing the social demands of women.
Please give the female compatriots some time, and ask the general public to view public opinion rationally, and never behave in ways that cause trouble to the social environment.
In response to this matter, the Information Office of the Feminist Association stated that it will actively work with Congress to obtain good new laws and new plans for women’s welfare..."]
Li Hed held the remote control and kept changing the channel. The sound of the news broadcast suddenly stopped, but the picture of the next channel he switched to was still related to this public opinion.
[Reporter: “Excuse me, why do you use Liu Yifei’s remarks as your slogan of appeal?”
A woman: "Is something wrong?"
Reporter: "She is a foreigner."
The woman looked with contempt: "Then does anyone in our country support us?"
The reporter was speechless.]
Li He changed the channel again, but the result was still news related to public opinion.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but shook her head in awe, put down the remote control and said, "It's really amazing."
Looking at the twenty days since they arrived in South Korea, the public opinion situation can be roughly summarized into four extraordinary stages of development.
At the press conference in Gwangju, Sissi unexpectedly announced her marriage, and her subsequent interview with Xiaoxuan made the media keenly grasp the attractive gimmick of women's rights, triggering the first wave of paranormal events.
the upsurge of public opinion.
In this first wave of public opinion, major brands stepped in to help, further exacerbating the situation's influence and triggering a second wave of extraordinary public opinion storm.
On the way from Gwangju to Seoul, as well as the road shows in Incheon and Busan these days, the extremely explosive situation once again caused a third wave of extraordinary public opinion.
But today, the sudden incident of the parade can no longer just be said to be an extraordinary situation. It can be described with the word "transcendental".
It directly caused this storm of public opinion to instantly break through the sky and become a phenomenon-level public opinion event that focused the attention of the whole society.
In previous years, people always mentioned that the appearance of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" caused huge crowds of people in many places across the country, even when it became popular all over Asia.
Three years ago, when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast, restaurants on many university campuses and street food shops were always packed with people on time during the broadcast time. Everyone gathered together to watch TV. It was so popular.
Extraordinarily amazing.
She had only seen these things in media reports and had never experienced them in person.
Li Congcheng is her sister, and Li Congcheng is also very popular, but she has never experienced what it feels like to be so popular, and what kind of situation and social phenomena it will cause.
What is the scene like when the streets are empty of people?
What does it feel like to gather in a campus restaurant to watch a drama?
Can a drama really be so popular, and how can one star have such a huge impact?
Being in South Korea at this moment, watching the news on TV in front of her, she couldn't help but look back on the past.
It turns out that the extremely legendary stories about "Michael Jackson" that I saw in newspapers before, and even the news that was as legendary as a fantasy, seemed to be real.
Record a MV and have 10,000 soldiers dancing to it.
If you hold a concert, thousands of people will faint with excitement.
In the past, she only regarded such reports as a gimmick to attract attention, and they were fake at first sight.
But now, she started to believe it.
Don’t you think that Sissi has only been in South Korea for twenty days, and she has made all the women in South Korea crazy, and even crazy enough to attack their highest authority?
Such super outrageous things can happen, so with the influence that celebrities can ignite, what else is impossible to happen?
In the past, she had only focused on the domestic market and only had some partial knowledge of the foreign situation.
Now that she has been in South Korea for just twenty days, what is "entertaining yourself to death", what is "traffic is king", and what is "the ultimate madness under public opinion", which has given her a comprehensive cognitive "baptism".
All this shocked her deeply and completely refreshed her understanding and outlook on the overseas environment.
But having said that, even if the parade happened unexpectedly, even if the parade unexpectedly bound Sissi together, the social environment always has its roots and the logic of its natural development.
This is something they are unable to change, and Sissi is also passive in this matter.
However, in her opinion, the occurrence of this incident is beneficial to Sissi, which is equivalent to creating an undefeated golden body for Sissi in South Korea!
Under such circumstances, the appeal of the follow-up movie and the appeal of the follow-up TV series are no longer a problem in South Korea and even in Asia as a whole.
She knows that in the entertainment industry, a world full of variables, every challenge may be an opportunity. Now, because of their existence and road show marketing strategy, such a completely unexpected and extremely sensational thing has occurred.
Perhaps this is a huge opportunity for Sissi to develop overseas.
Thinking of this, Li Hedong felt a little more relaxed. As for what kind of attitude the South Korean official would have towards them, that was something they could not consider.
Liu Yifei held a box of noodles and ate various kimchi and miscellaneous foods.
At this time, Chu Xuan came out of the bedroom after answering Han Sanping's call.
Liu Yifei lowered her head and asked, "What did you say?" while eating noodles.
Chu Xuan came over and sat down next to Liu Yifei. Under the focused gaze of everyone, he crossed his legs and looked relaxed, and said: "All the major national-level media in the country have reported this matter, and even the News Network just broadcast it.
.”
"News Network also reported it?!" Li Hen's eyes widened in surprise.
Liu Yifei also stopped eating noodles and looked at Chu Xuan in surprise along with everyone else.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "It's a good thing. According to the third brother, combined with the description in the news, the relevant departments support Sissi and praise Sissi, so we can rest assured."
"That's good." Li Hen breathed a long sigh of relief, and everyone present relaxed, especially those team members who were a little scared because of what happened. At this moment, they finally let go of their worries.
This sudden and relatively negative major social event, and they were the source of it, made them each feel worried all day long.
When Han Sanping made this call, he also guessed that everyone would have such emotions, so he mentioned several favorable situations during the call to appease them.
Chu Xuan saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and he felt relieved a lot, and said: "The third brother also said that we did not break the law and did not violate public order and good customs. We only passively and indirectly triggered this incident.
Then the South Korean side cannot blatantly create obstacles for us, and the worst result is to secretly think of a way to invite us away."
"Hey, I have the same idea as Mr. Han." Cui Minzheng put down the noodle box in his hand and said: "No matter what marketing method we take, we are doing our business seriously, and we don't talk openly or secretly.
A statement in support of women’s rights is neither a moral issue nor a legal issue.”
Everyone nodded, it was indeed the case.
"But." Cui Minzheng said: "If you want to suppress public opinion, you must first ask Mr. Liu to leave."
He glanced at Liu Yifei, who smiled slightly.
Cui Minzheng crossed his arms and joked: "Otherwise, as long as Mr. Liu is in South Korea, the media will follow and report for a day. This public opinion, let alone suppressing it, will get even more out of control."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly and said: "And I think that the Women's Rights Association also hopes that Sissi will leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Sissi is in South Korea, South Korean women will pay attention to it for one more day, which will make their association lose its sense of existence.
Nor can we maximize our profits.”
"Yes!" Cui Minzheng patted the sofa and said with great agreement: "When such a big thing happened, the association did not speak out very much and only issued an official statement. This is not in line with the association's past style."
"I think this is also the case. Because Mr. Liu is here, and because South Korean women are paying attention to Mr. Liu, the association cannot attract too much attention, and it is not easy to carry out political operations. As Mr. Chu said,
Unable to maximize profits.”
After hearing what the two people said, Zeng Ni on the side said: "If that's the case, how about we leave on our own initiative? Let's leave for the island country tomorrow? This is already the case in South Korea. There seems to be no need for another road show with such momentum.
It can be said that it has surpassed "Avatar" and "Transformers", and I think our movie can rival them in the South Korean market."
All the team members nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Zeng Ni's suggestion and wanting to leave this land as soon as possible.
Although they had just received a call from Han Sanping to comfort them, they had caused such a big incident, so they were still a little scared after all. If they left earlier, they would be able to feel at ease earlier.
"No, no, no, no!" Cui Minzheng waved his hands repeatedly and objected firmly: "It's best not to leave on your own initiative! There are media and paparazzi outside. If we leave on our own initiative, the media will definitely ask questions like why we are leaving, and
We still have to give an explanation to our fans."
"Because we have to go to other countries for roadshows," Zeng Ni said.
"Yes, but is this a sufficient reason?" Cui Minzheng glanced at Zeng Ni, shook his head and said: "It was because of us that it caused such a sensation, or it was because Mr. Liu caused such a sensation, and then the next day Mr. Liu
I just left. Is this an attitude that this matter has nothing to do with me? Or is it an attitude that I am afraid that things will get worse and I don’t want to take responsibility?”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly woke up with horror and understood the key.
In the eyes of South Koreans, the source of the parade lies in Liu Yifei.
Once such a big event happened, Liu Yifei, the person involved, walked away the next day?
If this was maliciously publicized by the media, it would have been a good situation for Liu Yifei to be like a bright light, but things must be reversed, and Liu Yifei might be surrounded by negativity immediately.
Moreover, this is also likely to be used as black material by some forces, a big black material to counter the women's ideological movement: Don't you women regard Liu Yifei as your idol, and use Princess Nihuang as your spiritual support? Now something has happened to Liu Yifei
He immediately ran away. Is this your idol?
Everyone present was 100% convinced that with the way the media and capital behaved, such countermeasures and propaganda would definitely be carried out. Not to mention that the momentum Liu Yifei had accumulated during this period would be wasted, but her shining aura and reputation would be wiped out.
The influence brought by titles will also be greatly reduced.
It's going to be difficult now. I can't even leave. I seem to be completely trapped in this public opinion storm.
At this moment, a cell phone rang, and it was Liu Yifei’s call.
Liu Yifei put down her box and chopsticks, picked up her cell phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a string of incomprehensible Korean characters.
She showed her phone to a team member who knew Korean, and the member read: "The phone number of the Immigration and Entry Administration Office."
Immigration and Entry Administration Office?... The people present were stunned for a moment, why did this department call?
Only Cui Minzheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Take it, it should be a good thing!"
Liu Yifei pressed the connect button, and with the help of members who knew Korean, both parties confirmed their identity information, only to hear a sentence from the other side: "Ms. Liu, after our review and inquiry, there are some problems with your visa, please contact us
It will be taken care of within tomorrow. If you have any questions, please feel free to call..."
The conversation lasted only a minute, and the call was hung up.
Zeng Ni was shocked and said: "What problem can there be with the visa? If there is a problem, I didn't say it when I signed it, but now I say..."
Before she finished speaking, she seemed to react and said in a daze: "Do they want us to leave?"
"That's right!" Cui Minzheng stroked his palm and said cheerfully: "It's obvious, let's leave within tomorrow, otherwise such little actions will continue and annoy you to death."
"That's just right!" Li Hed patted his thigh and said cheerfully: "The official wants us to leave, the association wants us to leave, and our momentum in South Korea has reached the sky. Next, we will seize the time to go to the island country to promote it.
It just so happens that it’s not good to leave voluntarily, so don’t we have a reason to leave now?”
Cui Minzheng nodded repeatedly and said with interest: "And this reason cannot be refuted by the media and capital. Why should we leave? Are we going to run away after causing such a big incident? We have nothing to do. It was your South Korean authorities who said
There is a problem with our visa, so we have no choice but to leave."
His funny tone made everyone smile.
"Mr. Liu." Cui Minzheng looked at Liu Yifei and said: "Tomorrow we will go to the island country. If the media asks you why you want to leave, just say so directly. The relevant departments said that there is a problem with your visa, so you can only regret leaving South Korea.
, looking forward to coming again next time.”
"Ah?" Liu Yifei was surprised and said, "Won't this offend their officials?"
"Not afraid." Chu Xuan folded his hands and said: "We are the only country in the world that has a unified political ideology. The rest of the countries change their political opinions when they change their leadership team. So what if they are offended?
When they step down and someone comes in, they will have a different attitude. Capitalist countries are mainly about capriciousness."
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei and said with a little fun: "Besides, your reply is very pure, very real and very sincere. Since they are driving you away, there is nothing wrong with you truthfully replying to the media and fans."
Cui Minzheng added: "If you answer like this, some media will definitely pass the conflict on to the relevant departments, and maybe you will be bombarded by fans, saying that the relevant departments drove you away, Mr. Liu, and this will continue to worsen.
Mr. Liu, your momentum will put pressure on the Cheong Wa Dae, but this is none of our business, we can just pat our butts and leave."
Hearing what he said, Zeng Ni's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "This is so exciting!"
In China, such an operation is absolutely unimaginable.
Because in China, celebrities can never reach such a high level of influence on the officialdom.
But coming to this foreign country seems to be like a completely different world. It turns out that the influence of celebrities can create such a huge momentum overseas.
No wonder, celebrities in the past liked to go abroad.
No wonder, many celebrities like to join Hollywood.
It's not how good the treatment overseas is, nor how round the moon is in a foreign country, but the overseas environment that allows a star to truly ascend to heaven and enjoy the transcendent status and supreme glory that he can never enjoy at home.
As soon as she thought about it, celebrities from certain countries could actually become presidents. Now she could finally figure out these weird things.
"Then it's settled, let's leave tomorrow." Liu Yifei made the decision.
