"I don't believe it if Chen Mubai did it on purpose. How can there be such a coincidence? We just restarted the concert promotion, and he did this!"
"A lot of money was wasted this time!"
It costs money to hire trolls and buy trending searches. They did it once before, and they were pushed by Tao Yaoyao's new song. This time, they just bought it and were pushed again. They wasted a lot of money.
, how can they not be angry?
The money was spent, but the goal was not achieved. Both times, the public opinion was not fermented for a long time, and the popularity immediately subsided. Starway wanted to cry but had no tears!
"Perhaps Tao Yaoyao was also instigated by him that time?"
"It's possible, otherwise how could you release a new song at that exact time?"
Some shareholders analyzed it and threw the blame on Chen Mubai.
But this time, Chen Mubai was indeed wronged. He gave the song to Tao Yaoyao before Shen Meng broke the news about the concert. He did not plan this matter.
However, Tao Yaoyao knew about Chen Mubai and Xingcheng's affair, so she chose to break the news at that time just to vent Chen Mubai's anger and disgust Starway Entertainment.
However, it is not wrong for Chen Mubai to take the blame for Tao Yaoyao's behavior. After all, the two are close, and Tao Yaoyao did this for Chen Mubai.
"Chen Mubai knows that he cannot interfere with Shen Meng's concert, so he uses this method to disgust us?"
"As long as we reduce our influence, we can affect the momentum of the concert to a certain extent, and fewer people will buy tickets. I have to say, it is indeed a good method."
"Who would have thought that he is now holding Wang Zhao in his hand. These two things are very popular, and other things are indeed difficult to surpass. This is also the capital of his pride..."
"I'm just happy this time. When the movie comes out and the box office explodes, he will be in more trouble!"
Starway's senior executives were indifferently cursing Chen Mubai.
If "Infernal Affairs" does not do well at the box office, Chen Mubai will definitely take the blame.
Because he wrote the script of the movie and shot the movie, the stars in it are all well-known, and even the star who plays opposite him is a veteran actor, who is currently one of the most famous stars in Hong Kong.
With a strong cast and production team, if the box office fails, it can only be Chen Mubai's problem.
No other movie has such a strong cast, "Infernal Affairs" is the only one, breaking Hong Kong's movie record.
"Then what should we do now?" someone asked.
“It’s better to just continue the promotion and forget it.”
These are two situations. The former is to invest more money in publicity. Even though the news about "Infernal Affairs" is now very popular, if they are willing to spend a lot of money, they can still get the concert exposed. The media will accept it.
Money will take care of itself.
It’s just that you need to spend more money, and less will not have much effect.
Or maybe we should stop promoting this matter now and wait until the popularity of "Infernal Affairs" has passed, and then start promoting it again.
But there are two drawbacks to this. First, there is not enough time for promotion. The concert will start in half a month. The promotion time will be compressed again, and the effect will be less.
Secondly, they don't know if Chen Mubai has other news, or news about "Infernal Affairs". Once they wait for the current popularity to subside and start publicity, if Chen Mubai releases some more news, then they
There's nothing we can do, we can't keep waiting.
It is precisely because of too much uncertainty that Starway's shareholders are also in a dilemma.
"My suggestion is to continue to promote, but there is no need to compete with Chen Mubai and others for popularity. This is definitely not possible. The movie is so star-studded that it is difficult to match their popularity. But after all, we are doing concert promotion, as long as we keep this It’s enough to be part of the audience, as long as people know about Shen Meng’s concert.”
"After all, we don't know if Chen Mubai has any other materials, so we can't wait forever. But if we don't publicize it, the impact will be too small, so we can only make do with it. Even if the effect is worse, it is better than nothing. Okay, what do you think?"
"Let's do this. Try to let the company's artists help promote Shen Meng. If you are on the show, you can mention it by the way." Someone said.
"This is difficult..."
There are so many artists in a company, let alone first-tier artists. They still have to compete for resources. The same goes for second-tier and third-tier artists. There are only a few who are really close to each other. Everyone is a competitor. How can they be willing to promote their opponents? ?
There are even some people whose relationship is even worse, like enemies who are on the same level as each other, making it even less possible for them to do this.
As for Shen Meng's friends, there may not necessarily be friendship within the company, and the person who promotes her must have a certain reputation. Even if a newbie is not famous, it will be useless. This range is basically locked in the third-tier and above. On celebrities.
For these people, they already have a certain degree of strength. Even if the company asks them to do something, if they are unwilling, it will be difficult for the company to hold their heads and make them do it.
"Promise them some resources in exchange." Someone said.
"That's all we can do." The general manager sighed.
So, he went to do this. Shen Meng's concert will continue to be promoted without interruption. This is also a relatively large project of the company at present.
Not only is the investment relatively large, but it is also a means to retain Shen Meng, so Starway naturally does not want to make any mistakes.
...
"Chen Meng is going to hold a concert, do you have any ideas?" Lu Fang asked Chen Mubai.
If Chen Mubai wants to do something, Lu Fang will definitely do it, even if he sacrifices a little money, it doesn't matter. This is to vent his anger. Shen Meng's failure is equal to the failure of Xingcheng. The loss of a concert is still huge.
The lineup of "Infernal Affairs" has been finalized and a press conference will be held soon. Chen Mubai definitely doesn't have time to do anything. He is the only one who can do something.
"There's still half a month left," Chen Mubai said.
"Um."
"There's no rush. If we take action now, we're afraid she'll cancel it by then, and we'll scare the snake away." Chen Mubai said with a smile.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Fang asked curiously.
Chen Mubai is afraid of alarming others, which means that this move must be very big and will cause a huge blow to Shen Meng's concert. Otherwise, Starway would not be able to cancel the concert. After all, it has already been said and promoted. Once it is cancelled, The funds invested in the early stage will be void, the venue reservation fees will be void, and fans will also lose their trust, resulting in huge losses.
If they did this, it must be because the loss from canceling the concert must be smaller than the loss from what Chen Mubai is going to do!
"I'm also planning to hold a concert."
Chen Mubai leaned on the chair and said contentedly: "My fans have been urging me for a long time. I have been putting off this matter for a long time. I just happened to take advantage of the current time to do it. It can also satisfy the fans' expectations."
"???"
Lu Fang's mind was filled with questions: "Don't you want to film "Infernal Affairs"? How can you have time to hold a concert?"
"Besides, this matter needs to be publicized in advance. It's too hasty."
Chen Mubai said with a smile: "We can only hold a press conference first. The filming task of "Infernal Affairs" will be postponed for a month. Several leading actors are currently unavailable. They still have to squeeze out this month's time and refuse it." I have completed many tasks and it is already the fastest speed.”
"Teacher Liang Wei has less work, half a month is enough, while Lin Dong and others need a month, so I have a month, which is enough to hold several concerts. It doesn't matter even if I am a little tired."
"Chen Meng's concert will be held in half a month. I still have half a month to rest and prepare. In the remaining half month, I will hold a few shows to satisfy the fans."
Lu Fang said: "You are in a hurry now, are you too tired?"
After the concert was completed, I immediately started filming. The workload was indeed quite heavy.
Moreover, the first half month seems to be a lot of time, but in fact it is not much at all. I don’t have much rest. I need to train all the time, including line dancing and vocal exercises, to ensure my best performance on the stage.
"It's okay. I'm full of strength to be able to hit Xingcheng. Only by catching them off guard will they suffer losses." Chen Mubai said.
"In the last few days, my concert will be exposed, and the promotion and venue matters will be left to you, Brother Lu."
Although the concert was revealed in the last few days and then started, there was very little time for promotion, which would definitely have an impact on the concert.
However, according to Chen Mubai's popularity, once the news spreads that he is going to hold a concert, the tickets will be sold out instantly. This was the case with Tao Yaoyao, so Chen Mubai will certainly be no different.
Therefore, although the time for publicity is not much, it is actually enough. After all, if this incident is exposed, the entire Internet will become popular. Chen Mubai's current popularity is very different from Shen Meng's.
Although Shen Meng is a first-tier star, her popularity and popularity are only at the bottom of the first-tier, while Chen Mubai is super popular and is currently the most popular star in China. It is difficult for anyone to surpass her!
Chen Mubai just wanted to catch Starway Entertainment off guard at the last moment, so that they would not have enough time to deal with it, let alone cancel the concert.
After all, it has been promoted for so long, and fans all know it, and suddenly the concert is canceled a few days before the concert. If this happens, I am afraid that Shen Meng will never be able to be in the music industry in the future, and her fans will scold her.
"Okay, I'll book the venue in advance." Lu Fang nodded and said, "The location of Shen Meng's first concert is in Shanghai, so you should choose here, but her location has already been decided, so you can only change it to a more remote location. It’s the gym.”
The location of Shen Meng's concert has been decided a long time ago. Since Chen Mubai wants to snipe her, he will definitely choose the same place. Only in this way will the overlap of the audience be the same, and everyone can only choose one person's concert to go to.
If in different places, some people are far away and will definitely not go there and choose to watch the concert nearby, then the impact on Shen Meng will be limited. After all, there are not many people who come specifically to watch a star's concert.
Judging from the influence and fame of the two, the majority of people must choose Chen Mubai. As a result, Shen Meng's concert attendance will be greatly affected and he will also suffer a lot of losses!
If Starway Entertainment knew in advance that Chen Mubai chose to hold a concert on the same day and at the same place, they would definitely choose to cancel the concert. However, they only found out about it a few days before the concert. It was too late. Even if they knew they would lose money, they would only
