…
At 1 a.m.
Groups of data appeared on the Internet.
The data ended with exclamation marks...
Afterwards, the bosses of each brand recorded videos of thanks to customers on their Weibo.
Some were in tears, some bowed, and some were so excited that they knelt down on the spot to the customers in front of the camera...
Countless brands expressed their gratitude to customers in the most simple way.
And countless staff members, in excitement, merged into the sea of noise.
The wind in the early morning was very cold.
The noise lasted for a long time.
It seemed to sway in the wind, but it took advantage of the momentum to ignite a raging fire.
In the flames, one figure after another was reveling.
This is a big victory!
In this battle, the figure sitting at the poker table of China's e-commerce is no longer just [Taozhu.com].
In this battle, countless brands that were pushed into the corner tore a gap in the gloomy and cold darkness and saw a meter of warm sunshine.
…………………………
With the rise of the Internet era and the gradual end of the old generation.
The Spring Festival Gala in recent years seems to be getting worse and worse.
The ratings are getting worse and worse.
The program list has gradually become a little monotonous, and it is very poor in all aspects. The festive sound of making dumplings has become preachy and boring noise.
In 2011, CCTV was restructured, and then director Ha Wenliang came on stage.
Ha Wenliang was born in the 1970s. He is a well-known director, screenwriter, producer in the mainland, and the most special director among the five generations of directors.
When he received the invitation to direct the [2012 Spring Festival Gala], his first thought was that he had received a hot potato, and the second thought was how this year's Spring Festival Gala could interact.
In October, he took the task.
He spent the entire month of October preparing for various programs, and even went to many places in person to invite seniors who retired last year.
He invited several seniors, but then he faced another problem, which was how to achieve the interaction between those in front of and behind the TV.
With the gradual arrival of the Internet age, young people like to surf the Internet, but their attention to TV and the Spring Festival Gala has become increasingly indifferent. How to make the Spring Festival Gala please both the audience in front of the TV and the tastes of the young people on the Internet is the most critical issue.
He consulted the seniors of the Spring Festival Gala...
The seniors made many suggestions.
However, in his opinion, these suggestions have no substantive effect.
He also invited some experts, but the experts were very reasonable when talking about the truth, but when they really went to the battlefield, they were shit.
"Maybe, you need to visit Mr. Zhang..."
"Mr. Zhang?"
"Yes, he is the big sponsor of this year's Spring Festival Gala, and he is going to invest 600 million yuan in advertising. After all, how to capture the hearts of young people is a marketing campaign. When it comes to marketing, this man is an expert!"
"..."
During a chat with relevant departments, Zhang Sheng came into his sight.
Then, he accidentally checked Zhang Sheng's resume and was immediately shocked.
Nine o'clock in the morning on November 12.
"Director Ha, please come this way."
"Okay!"
"Mr. Zhang stayed up all night yesterday because of the [National Products Festival], and he may be catching up on sleep now...Your visit this time is a bit too sudden, we are not prepared..."
"It's okay, I can wait, it's my fault for visiting rashly..."
"..."
As a fifth-generation director, Ha Wenliang does not have the airs of an old senior.
After entering Zhang Sheng's [NC Entertainment], he always had a smile on his face and was very humble, which made Shen Xiaoxi a little uncomfortable.
[Southern California International Film Awards], [National Products Festival], [WeChat], [Hive Express], [Jitu Video]...
In the past, in the entertainment industry, seniority might be the key, and Ha Wenliang might be able to put on airs, but when he met Zhang Sheng, Ha Wenliang really didn't have the courage to rank seniority.
Bi Feiyu, one of the few international directors in China and Wu Guanli's last disciple, is Zhang Sheng's younger brother. If Bi Feiyu wasn't currently filming a movie, the station would even have invited Bi Feiyu to be the deputy director of this year's Spring Festival Gala and the director next year...
Facing Zhang Sheng, who has such a wide range of industries and is the big sponsor of this year's Spring Festival Gala [advertising sponsorship], he really can only keep a low profile.
From 9 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock, after lunch, Ha Wenliang finally waited for Zhang Sheng.
"Director Ha is here?"
"Mr. Zhang!"
The moment he saw Zhang Sheng, Ha Wenliang stood up quickly. His legs were a little sore from sitting, but his face showed excitement.
"Director Ha, please come this way..."
When Zhang Sheng saw Ha Wenliang, he was not arrogant, and his face was very enthusiastic. He invited him into the office.
……………………………………
Afternoon.
Ah K woke up from his sleep.
When he woke up, he felt a little tired. He touched his dry eyes and opened the curtains.
The sunlight outside the window made him feel particularly dazzling.
The room was not tidy, and it was full of messy manuscripts and a series of things.
After singing the theme song for "My Sassy Girl Sadako" and becoming a big hit, A K has fallen into silence in the music industry again.
In addition to participating in various activities arranged by the company, A K has always kept himself in a corner.
A K, who is glamorous in the eyes of countless fans, is an extremely simple person in life, and is more like an outlier in the singer circle.
He does not take drugs, does not attract fans, and does not seduce fans. He also does not take any guest appearances in movies or appear on any variety shows...
He bought a few commercial houses in Yanjing, and after a simple decoration, he brought his parents to Yanjing City. He occasionally lives with his parents on weekdays, but more often, he stays in the recording studio to record songs...
However, after recording songs for a long time, none of the songs have become albums and appeared on the market.
After July, Ah K fell into the most confused moment of his life...
He found that his talent was being drained by himself, and his feelings for songs and music were also completely worn out in the creation. Sometimes he wanted to squeeze out the things in his mind, but found that no matter how hard he squeezed, it was all shit.
[You should do more activities, you should take some variety shows while you are popular now! After making money for a lifetime, think about it. ]
[You don’t have to create by yourself, we will help you contact famous creators, with your current status, there are many people who want to cooperate with you...]
[You just need to sing, and don’t be picky. This era is the era of traffic. You just need to release a few pop songs, and then we will help you hype them up, and you will still have invincible sales...]
[...]
The voice of the agent seemed to gradually echo in his ears.
The agent told himself to lower his requirements, bow his head, and compromise...
He had compromised before.
He had contacted songwriters one by one, and had read what they wrote.
After reading what they wrote, and then looking at the rankings, Ah K found himself getting more and more confused.
It seemed that, I don’t know when, the times suddenly changed. There are more and more new musicians on the Internet. On the Qdog music rankings, pop songs began to occupy half of the country. When singing, they are extremely brainwashing. After singing, I found that I couldn’t get emotionally involved. Then, there are more and more young people in major music awards, but the songs awarded are all songs that Ah K is confused about.
He applauded in the audience...
There was only trance on his face. He tried very hard to learn and squeeze, but found that he couldn’t squeeze out any smile.
It seemed that he had aged all of a sudden, too old to keep up with the times!
This feeling of confusion gradually made him anxious. After the anxiety subsided, he began to write one pop song after another desperately...
Some were cheerful, some were light, some were exciting, some were unrestrained...
The lyrics became more and more vulgar and shorter...
Then he sang for a long time and felt that it was more and more like a pile of shit. His agent thought it was not bad and gave it to a group of newcomers from [NC Entertainment] to sing...
The newcomers sang very awkwardly in the recording studio, making his ears seem like waves of disgusting feces, but the market feedback was not bad. Although he could not reach the top, he made some money.
After September, Ah K became more and more confused.
After writing too many pop songs, his senses began to gradually become numb. One word and one note seemed to be a cold machine, constantly running in front of his eyes, but making waves of unpleasant sounds. Then, he found that he could not even write a smooth lyric or compose the most basic pop songs.
He once lost his [feeling] for music, and the whole person was like a walking corpse. Every day when he opened his eyes, he could only see gray and white. He often sat in the recording studio for an entire afternoon, but he could not record any songs, and he did not know what he should do sitting there. He was just confused and dazed, and felt uncomfortable.
He seemed to have lost his dream...
When he was a wandering singer, he had thought about becoming a [king of the music world].
He was unrestrained, passionate, and madly eager for his dream, but he was no longer poor, no longer wandering, and instead often appeared in the spotlight. After that, he found that he seemed to be getting further and further away from the [king of the music world].
The higher you go.
The more you test a person's appearance, talent, timbre, and talent...
And he...
On November 11, [National Products Festival], Ah K bought a wooden guitar online.
At 11 o'clock in the morning on November 12, when he was carrying his wooden guitar and planning to continue to go to the recording studio to daze, he received a call.
The call was from Zhang Sheng.
"Ah K..."
"Mr. Zhang?"
"Come to my office, I'll give you a gift..."
"Eh?"
