Chapter 379 Singing Contest
"Lao Gao, you are on the trending search again!"

The call was connected, and before Gao Yuan could say anything, Jay Chou's voice came over.

He spoke with a Taiwanese accent, and there was obviously a hint of excitement in his voice.

Gao Yuan thought he was talking about the Yuanfang Automobile incident some time ago, and then he said, "You are also the spokesperson for Yuanxingzhe!"

"The Far Traveler is hot-tempered, and so are you!"

Gao Yuan smiled and teased Jay Chou.

Jay Chou's laughter stopped instantly, and he asked in an incredible tone: "Did you not go online today?"

"No!"

Gao Yuan said after hearing Mr. Zhou's confusing words.

"Then you should log in to the YouNi APP and take a look!"

"The whole internet is looking for you."

When Gao Yuan heard what Jay Chou said, he realized something was wrong.

Even if the first car from afar is very popular and the whole network can discuss it, it is not the case that the whole network is looking for it.

Something else must have happened.

"Okay, I'll go check it out myself."

Gao Yuan did not hang up the phone. After switching to the background, he opened the YouNi APP.

After watching a few videos, he knew why Jay Chou called.

But this reason made him feel a little bit helpless.

"Lao Zhou, what does this have to do with me?"

"I'm not from your circle."

On the other end of the phone, Jay Chou also said with a smile: "Fans don't care whether you are from the same circle or not."

"Yuanfang Auto has been very popular recently, and many people have dug out the video of the two of us singing."

"It just so happens that this year's singing competition is here, and the fans are so angry that they @ you."

What the two were talking about was a hot news that just broke out today.

The reason is that the singing competition started in 2024 and completely changed the previous rules.

Not only are we doing live broadcasts, but we are also doing live broadcasts with original sound without any audio editing.

The public is obviously happy to see this.

After all, it is easy to tell whether a song is good or bad without any audio editing.

but,

This singing competition invited contestants from abroad, and they are not considered the top singers from abroad.

These are actually nothing. Competing on the same stage between domestic and foreign players can add more fun and novelty.

The bad thing is that the domestic singers actually lost.

And it’s Nayoung who is known as the queen in the music industry.

After a lot of effort, I ended up getting second place.

After Gao Yuan understood the whole story, he just smiled.

The public @ him was just playing around and had no real intention of asking him to participate in the competition.

"I haven't noticed this news. I guess it will die down after a while."

Gao Yuan said casually.

He is actually very clear about this kind of hype model, and it is very likely that the singing competition deliberately created this way.

The purpose is to completely hype up this singing competition and increase the topic.

Unexpectedly, Jay Chou spoke again: "There is indeed an element of hype, but in reality it is probably like this."

"Those two foreign singers are really talented."

After a series of explanations from Jay Chou, Gao Yuan roughly understood.

But he still had no intention of responding.

What an international joke.

He is not a professional singer, so it is not his turn to be embarrassed.

Besides, he is the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar group and he is participating in a singing competition.

What is this for?

To prove how good you are at singing?
He is free!

"Lao Gao, I think it would be better for you to respond to the public."

When Jay Chou heard that Gao Yuan was still unwilling to step forward, he tried to persuade him.

"why?"

Gao Yuan had already walked to the vicinity of the square dance. He found a stone bench and sat down, ready to listen to Jay Chou's ideas.

"First, the phrase 'a fifty-year-old woman guarding the country's border' was mentioned this time. Although this is an element of hype for Nayoung, it also reminds people of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China."

"So, if you participate in this singing competition and win first place, you will be a national hero."

"This will be of great benefit to the national brand you proposed. Maybe when Yuanfang Automobile goes on sale, it will become even more popular."

When Gao Yuan heard Jay Chou mention the first idea, the expression on his face became a little more serious.

Not to mention,
Jay Chou's idea and perspective on the issue are very commercial!
It makes sense that this guy has made a lot of money over the years.

"What about the second and third?"

Gao Yuan began to take this matter seriously.

"There is no third, but there is a second."

Jay Chou said unhappily.

"Tell me about it, maybe I'll want to join in."

Gao Yuan encouraged Jay Chou.

"Second, it's actually very simple. You just don't care about this singing competition. If you care, you will understand."

"If you don't sign up this time, it's very likely that this singing competition will just be a show, played without any bottom line."

"But if you sign up, at least in the round you participate in, there will be absolute fairness. After all, your identity is there."

"Conquer the fans. Do you think you will become the person with the most fans in the history of this country?"

Jay Chou talked a lot to Gao Yuan, until Gao Yuan's mother came to his side after square dancing.

Gao Yuan said to Jay Chou: "Okay, I'll think about it."

After the two hung up the phone, Gao Yuan accompanied his mother home.

Along the way, he was indeed thinking about this matter seriously, and also opened the Youni APP, Douyin, and Weibo to take a look.

He found that each of his accounts had been @ed and sent private messages by countless people.

Go home.

Gao Yuan sat on the sofa, thought for a while, and recorded a video.

In the video, Gao Yuan greeted his fans with a smile, and then said: "Thank you for your love. I have read your private messages and @ me."

"It's a pity that there is no official invitation. If necessary, I am willing to fight."

In these two simple sentences, he did not mention that he would take the initiative to compete, but instead said that he had no objection to participating in this singing competition.

This is equivalent to throwing the ball to the organizers of the singing competition.

It depends on how they will deal with this matter.

If it is not handled, Gao Yuan has his own way.

After recording the video, Gao Yuan did not publish it immediately, but forwarded the video to a small group of four people.

Lin Wanyu: "Brother, are you going to participate in the singing competition?"

Xiao Xiao: "Do you have any ideas?"

Li Mengqing:?

Gao Yuan briefly recounted the content of his conversation with Jay Chou.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanyu sent a video call.

"Brother, I support you!"

"You will definitely be able to take on those two foreign women if you participate in the competition!"

Gao Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what Lin Wanyu said.

Does he still need to fight for these false reputations?

At this time, Xiao Xiao looked at Gao Yuan seriously and said, "Mr. Zhou's idea is indeed very good. If you participate, it will be a good thing for you and Yuan Fang."

"It's just that I'm afraid the organizer won't invite you."

"If you, with your status, participate in the competition, I'm afraid it will disrupt everything they have planned."

Gao Yuan nodded.

He had indeed thought of this, so in the recorded video he did not say that he had actively signed up.

"You send the video out, and I'll do the rest." Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

When Gao Yuan saw Xiao Xiao's smile, he knew that she must have some new ideas.

but,

This is good. He just needs to post the video and let Xiao Xiao do the rest, so he doesn’t have to worry too much.

Video sent.

Gao Yuan now has more than 50 million followers on his personal account, making him the biggest internet celebrity among domestic entrepreneurs.

He had so many videos to post that the number of likes instantly exceeded 100,000. Moreover, YouApp specifically promoted the videos released by its own boss.

And this video doesn’t have the most likes.

The most popular numbers are comments and reposts.

For a while,
Gao Yuan’s video was spread wildly on various platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo.

At first, Mango TV, the organizer of the singing competition, didn't care.

There have been many singers who have volunteered to compete during this period, and now there is just one more businessman.

but,

Before long, the entire network was @Mango TV.

At this time, some people from Mango TV saw it, but still didn't care.

They don't want to pay attention to such content because they know very well that this singing competition is just hyping up traffic.

If they really care about it, they don’t know how many singers they will offend, and they won’t be able to hold singing competitions in the future.

and,

They also know something about Gao Yuan.

If you invite a boss worth hundreds of billions of dollars to come over, it would be like inviting an ancestor to come over.

How can we get inside information by that time?

Magic City.

Xiao Xiao was in the living room, looking at the various information compiled by her subordinates.

She was very satisfied with Mango TV's attitude of not responding.

Ever since she learned that Gao Yuan was going to respond to the public, she knew very well what the result would be.

Her purpose in secretly fanning the flames was to make this topic hot as quickly as possible.

but,

Her real purpose was not to let Gao Yuan participate in the so-called singing competition.

"If the hype about this topic continues for another three days, we will use as many internet trolls as we can to put all the pressure on Mango TV."

"Also, the stage construction must be completed within this week. I will send you the invitation list of foreign superstars in the next two days."

After reading the report, Xiao Xiao sent this message to his subordinates.

three days later.

An entertainment company in Shanghai suddenly held a press conference.

Announced that a global singing competition will be held next week.

In this singing competition, singers are selected from all over the world. There is no sound editing or insider information in the entire process, which ensures absolute fairness and justice.

The event atmosphere is divided into four major regions: China, Europe, America, and other regions.

Ten singers will be selected from each region.

The prize money for the entire global singing competition is as high as 1 billion yuan.

The champion will receive a prize of 300 million.

There will be two runners-up, each receiving a prize of 200 million.

The three third place winners will each receive a prize of 100 million.

As for the singers who register for the competition, each will be awarded 100,000 yuan for participation, and outstanding performers will receive advertising endorsement contracts from sponsors.

The title sponsor of this global singing competition is the Rudie brand under Yuanfang Skin Care Products.

The joint sponsors are the pregnancy center and Yuanfang Auto, both of which are owned by Yuanfang, and NIO.

There are two broadcasting platforms for this Global Singer Competition.

The TV broadcasting platform is exclusively CCTV’s music platform.

The online playback platform is exclusive to YouNi APP.

Once this message was sent.

It exploded at the press conference.

It would be fine if they were just holding a global singing competition, but the prize money is as high as 10 billion yuan, if you add in the participation fees of other singers and the advertising fees for endorsements.

The total cost of hosting this global singing competition is probably more than one billion yuan.

Is this still an entertainment show?

In just one hour.

The whole network is boiling again!
Of course, Xiao Xiao’s promotion was indispensable in this.

When Gao Yuan learned the news, he called Xiao Xiao immediately.

"Is it such a big deal?"

"Aren't you going to participate in the singing competition on Mango TV?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Isn't it that I don't like you?"

Gao Yuan was a little speechless and said, "If you don't like it, then don't like it. Why spend more than a billion just to vent your anger?"

"worth!"

Xiao Xiao told Gao Yuan all the plans.

Her plan is to bring together singers from all over the world.

Mango didn’t just randomly find two second-rate singers, she would find an international singing superstar.

and.

Although the rewards for this event are huge, the benefits it brings to distant places are equally huge.

According to Xiao Xiao's answer, the return rate of spending these tens of billions will be at least tens of billions.

"Okay, you have the brains, so you have the final say."

Gao Yuan didn't care anymore.

Since Xiao Xiao wants to do it, then let’s do it.

By making it such a big event, we can contribute to the country and showcase domestic culture to the world.

He just hung up the phone.

I received a notification on my phone.

"Yuanfang Auto CEO Gao Yuan has been invited to participate in the 2024 singing competition and will compete with domestic and foreign contestants!"

This time, Gao Yuan was really speechless.

Xiao Xiao’s advertisement came so quickly!
next moment.

Gao Yuan's cell phone rang.

He saw that it was Jay Chou calling again and answered the call directly.

"Lao Gao, your wife is awesome!"

"How about we plan this event?"

When Gao Yuan heard what Jay Chou said, he realized that Xiao Xiao had contacted Jay Chou before this event.

He shook his head helplessly and said to the phone: "Lao Zhou, I have been cheated by your music industry!"

Jay Chou laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, Gao Yuan, you are the boss of Yuanfang Automobile. If you participate in the competition, the sales of Yuanxingzhe will definitely reach a new level!"

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and responded: "Then should I still thank you?"

"Yes, you should thank us for giving you the opportunity to show your talent!" Jay Chou said half-jokingly.

Gao Yuan knew in his heart that he might really have to participate in this singing competition.

If not for anything else, just for the image of Yuanfang Automobile and for his own company.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and began to analyze the situation.

He knows his own abilities. Although he is not a professional singer, he has a certain foundation in singing.

He also knew that this singing competition was not just a music competition, but also a battle of honor.

If you do well, everything will be fine.

If you don’t do it well, you will probably be scolded to death.

Moreover, he wants to take advantage of this event to gain more attention for his business and more market share for his brand.

just.

What song is he going to sing?
Before, he only sang other people’s songs, but he didn’t have any songs of his own!
If I participate in a competition and have to sing other people's songs, wouldn't that be a big loss of points?
