Chapter 663 Ice Bucket Challenge
Zhu Ziren's performance did not cause any special disturbances, it was just like a normal comeback of a popular artist.

Fans praised and passers-by celebrated, the only difference was that the little blacks had all disappeared.

It's normal, because Zhu Ziren's business is quite authentic, no matter who thinks it is a good thing to write a song for the former president, it is something that the public is willing to praise.

At the same time as the praise came, others envied Boss Hong.

Zhu Ziren will definitely be one of the most famous names in the Hallyu circle in the next ten years. Getting a song specially customized by Zhu Ziren is a great thing that cannot be better. There are many benefits, at least others will always think of such a person.

In addition, the overseas performance of "See You Again" should go without saying, right?
Hong Seung Sung himself never imagined that he, who had never been an artist for a day, would get so much attention overseas, and the first-line artists in South Korea are only at that level.

Also because of this, after Zhu Ziren returned to South Korea, he suddenly found that there were more people who were kind to him.

"These people." Zhu Ziren was a little speechless, "I'm dreaming that one day I can write songs for them too."

"Does Ouba plan to write a song for them?" Quan Enfei asked from the side.

"I have a hammer, yes, I have been so busy these days." Zhu Ziren stared at the screen again after taking a quick sip of water, ""Mingliang Sea Battle" is about to be released, and I have to handle all the publicity. .”

"I can also help with some work. Ouba can really give me some work, so I don't have to do it all by myself." Quan Enfei was a little puzzled, "Why do you have to do it by yourself?"

"Because the film matter is my own business and not Fangfang Entertainment's. You are the paid assistant of Fangfang Entertainment, not mine, so you only need to help me with Fangfang Entertainment's related matters. There is no need to be troubled to help I'm busy with personal affairs."

Zhu Ziren said a long paragraph in one breath, but the central reason is very simple.

"Then Oppa can give me some subsidies." Concubine Quan Enfei shook her hair, "President Zhu won't even be willing to pay me that little money?"

"Of course it's great if you're willing." Zhu Ziren smiled, "Come and help."

……

After the concert, Zhu Ziren returned to South Korea immediately with everyone.

Everyone has a lot of work to do at the start of the new year.

Artists are going to participate in various big and small events, organized by TV stations, big companies, and other messy associations.
Zhu Ziren doesn't care about the awards and other things that will be given at those events, but those things are still very important to an artist.

You can't be very popular all the time. When your popularity declines, those awards will become your support and keep you from falling into the abyss.

It is impossible for Zhu Ziren to be idle when an artist is busy. Although there are no girlfriends to share his time, the busy work of the company is even more clingy than his girlfriends, which makes him unable to do anything even if he is doing it non-stop every day. Finish.

One of the more interesting things in the work is that even after Fangfang Entertainment released various materials that should be released to the public, the upward momentum of Fangfang Entertainment’s stock price still has no intention of stopping.

Zhu Ziren has lost any shares in Cube Entertainment, but everyone still firmly believes that he is very close to Cube Entertainment because of the relationship with "See You Again", which makes Zhu Ziren feel like shooting himself in the foot.

But this can only keep the stock price of Cube Entertainment from falling. It is "You Who Came from the Star" that made Cube Entertainment's stock price rise.

It started broadcasting in mid-December last year, and now it is late January. Twelve episodes of the 21-episode TV series have been aired, more than half of the total.

Therefore, the terrifying overseas influence of "My Love from the Star" began to manifest, and the true power of Korean dramas popular in Asia began to be shown to all industry insiders.

I heard that the current leader of TVN TV station was scolded bloody, but this has nothing to do with Zhu Ziren, he doesn't care about it.

The more scolded TVN TVN is by the CJ head office, the more likely it is that someone Zhu will go back.

After seeing "You Who Came from the Star", other TV stations took the time to post them, with the goal of winning Zhu Ziren's next TV series.

To say that this group of TV stations is really annoying, walking around like a fly every day and doing nothing.

It doesn't matter that Zhu Ziren has the next TV series in his hands, but there isn't one yet, so why did they come together so early?
But Zhu Ziren is not completely absent.

"Reply 1997" and "Reply 1994" have been filmed and aired, so it is impossible for Zhu Ziren to let go of "Reply 1988", the best part of the Please Reply series. This is something that has been planned for a long time .

The problem is that Zhu Ziren has now left TVN, so "Please Answer 1988" can only be put on hold temporarily.

It is also fortunate that Zhu has always been cautious, and such important signings are signed in his own name, otherwise TVN must have started producing "Reply 1988" by now.

……

"Concubine En, what's the temperature outside today?"

Before getting off work, Zhu Ziren looked out the window and asked suddenly.

Concubine Quan En looked at the phone and replied: "It's minus eight degrees, today is a relatively cold day."

"Grandma's." Zhu Ziren couldn't help swearing, "Why did I want to do that on a whim today?"

"Wait for me for a while." Zhu Ziren waved his hands twice in confusion, "Wait for me to think about it before making a decision."

"Ouba, what do you want to do?" Quan Enfei was a little curious.

"I want to take a challenge." Zhu Ziren sighed and looked out the window, "But it's too cold today, so I shrink back."

"Well, it's even starting to snow now."

Without saying a word, Zhu Ziren discovered that snowflakes began to fall outside the window, not even small.

Quan Enfei replied: "The weather forecast says it will snow this evening, did Obama not pay attention?"

"I've always been a person who doesn't really believe in weather forecasts." Zhu Ziren couldn't help covering his face and laughing, "Because when I was a child watching TV, I found that the weather forecast said that the next day's weather was basically not accurate. It said it was sunny but it was raining heavily. , said it would snow and it didn't, so I didn't believe that."

"In fact, most of the weather forecasts are still accurate, but Ouba must have had the mood at that time, so he can remember those days that were not accurate." Concubine Quan Enfei smiled softly, "And now the level of technology is advancing rapidly. With development, the weather forecast will become more and more accurate.”

"Yeah. Oh."

Zhu Ziren suddenly let out a long sigh, and then said to Concubine Quan En, "You send someone to prepare half a bucket of ice cubes, I need to use them later."

"Is Ouba going to drink and enjoy the snow?" Concubine Quan En said with a smile: "It's rare to have a little free time, and it seems quite romantic to use it to do this."

"Heh" Zhu Ziren couldn't help but smiled wryly, "It would be great if I could eat the ice cubes."

Concubine Quan En tilted her head in doubt.

Zhu Ziren didn't explain, just waved her to go quickly.

……

Of course it’s not for drinking and admiring the snow. How could drinking some wine use up half a bucket of ice cubes? Zhu Ziren planned to make this thing himself before the original “Ice Bucket Challenge” came out.

The purpose of this popular event around the world is to let more people know about the rare disease of ALS, and also let people donate money along the way.

Zhu Ziren's purpose for doing this is very clear, that is to gain fame.

if not?Could it still be a donation to Boss Hong?Does Boss Hong need you to do that? !

Zhu Ziren lacks fame, this thing can gain fame while doing good deeds, then do it, there is no reason not to do it.

"I'm sorry, Boss Hong, I'm going to use you as an excuse this time."

"But I just wrote you such a good song "See You Again", so it shouldn't matter if I lend it to you, right?"

Zhu Ziren did a lot of psychological training for himself.

After a while, the staff brought over half a bucket of ice cubes.

Zhu Ziren raised his head and glanced while writing the lyrics, and suddenly felt a headache.

"Your bucket is too gorgeous, shiny and decorated." Zhu Ziren waved his hand, "Go and change the bucket, just the one used in the bathroom at home."

"Also, I made a mistake in my calculations. There is a little less ice in the bucket. Let's add more than half of the bucket." Zhu Ziren added.

The staff stepped back to work, and Zhu Ziren said to Concubine Quan En: "You ask someone to set up a video camera in the open space near the company. The kind that no one passes by usually, I will use it later."

Concubine Quan En is completely dizzy right now, she can't ask a word, she just nods.

"Do you need to light something?" Concubine Quan Enfei finally woke up a little before going out to do some errands, and asked.

"Yeah." Zhu Ziren looked out the window, "It's completely dark now, so we need to prepare for lighting."

"Let the film crew arrange it themselves. In short, it's good to have an environment that can shoot smoothly." Zhu Ziren ordered.

"I see."

……

"You really are."

After the blankets, towels, and ice were melted and most of everything was ready, Zhu Ziren came to the scene, but everything in front of him made him grit his teeth.

There are a total of five camera positions, 360-degree lighting without dead ends, and various radio microphones are placed on the president's treatment. It is indeed full, but such a ostentatious action can't help but attract passersby's onlookers.

It's just that few people pass by here, not that no one passes by at all. How could there be no one on the streets of South Korea?

"If I build another company building, I will definitely get one with a yard."

Zhu Ziren silently made a decision.

Seeing that more and more people gathered around after he came out, Zhu Ziren decided that he couldn't wait any longer, so he began to undress on the spot after telling everyone to keep quiet.

The down jacket, sweater, and inner lining were taken off one by one, and in the end there was only a pair of beach pants that Enfei Quan put on when she went out.

The crowd of onlookers gradually became louder.

It wasn't just the crowd of onlookers, Zhu Ziren who was behind him could also hear some voices, but the employees were still able to stick to their posts because of their awe of the president.

"Today, let's play a new game called the Ice Bucket Challenge."

"The content is very simple, it is to pour this bucket of zero-degree ice-water mixture all over the body."

Zhu Ziren's skin is already covered with goosebumps, but his lines must never be wrong.

And after the man finished speaking, he picked up the ice bucket and poured it over his head.

Screams came from all around, from the crowd of onlookers, as well as from the staff around them.

Reaching out to Concubine Quan En, she took a towel to wipe her body, then took the blanket to cover her body, and Zhu Ziren began to speak more important lines.

"Everyone knows that my friend, Boss Hong, is suffering from ALS. This is a very rare disease that cannot be cured with the current medical level."

"When I checked the information, I found that there are still many such patients in the world, and there are some in South Korea, but people don't know much about this terminal illness."

"So, I decided to make such a challenge game today, the purpose is to let more people know about patients with ALS."

"The rules of the game are very simple. Everyone who completes the ice bucket challenge can designate three people to participate in this game. Those who are selected must either upload a video within 24 hours, or donate [-] won to ALS patients."

"I will personally donate a share of one billion won. In addition, for every artist in the South Korean entertainment industry who uploads a challenge video, I will donate an additional [-] won."

"OK, the video is recorded here, everyone can leave." Zhu Ziren said to the passers-by: "I'm already too cold, so I can't talk with you. I'm really sorry. I want to know which three people I designated to participate If you want to challenge, you can follow my social account, I will upload the video there later."

After Zhu Ziren finished speaking, he turned around and left. The staff stayed there to clean up the venue, and the onlookers also dispersed.

Quan Enfei followed quickly and handed him the down jacket.

"Why doesn't Ouba choose a time when the weather is better?" Quan Enfei complained: "Today can be said to be the worst environment."

"The worst environment is the easiest to touch people's hearts. My goal is that." Zhu Ziren's lips were trembling with cold, "You can urge the staff to send me the video immediately. There is almost no need to edit the video. Yes, it should be fine soon."

"I understand." Quan Enfei nodded, "Go back to the office and rest, I'll take care of the rest."

……

In about 10 minutes, the video of Zhu Ziren's ice bucket challenge appeared on the Internet, and at the same time, there were many things shot by passers-by with their mobile phones.

As for the three designated by Zhu Ziren?
One is Rain, my own employee; one is JYP, an artist I have just worked with, and the owner of the soy sauce bottle;

Whether they accept it, uh, don't think about it, they will definitely accept the challenge and make a video.

Because it was Zhu Ziren who appointed them, a person of higher status.

Soon, the three of them sent messages to ask what was going on.

But Zhu Ziren can't deal with them now, this guy has a high fever now.

After all, it was too much effort to do such a thing in this weather.
