The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 172 Crazy fans and paralyzed airport

On May 5, when others were still enjoying their seven-day holiday, Zhang Chen and his team had already boarded a flight to South Korea.

"Mr. Du, we can just meet in Bangguo. Why do you have to change planes in the capital?"

"I just wanted to report to you about my work progress over the past month."

"From what you said, the company's operations are doing well?"

"I don't know whether it's good or bad in your eyes."

Although Du Zhining has been in office for a month, he began to introduce some current data of "Morning Light Music".

As of April 4, the number of downloads of the player has successfully exceeded 30 million. However, the total number of computers in China is only about 400 million. This download volume is already a very terrifying number.

According to Du Zhining, the reason why the player had such a huge amount of download data in just one month was mainly due to the period when those incidents broke out in Hong Kong Island.

Since "Morning Light Music" has a message function, every time the media breaks a piece of news, netizens will spontaneously go to the star's music column to check in.

But this also caused a problem, that is, some celebrities also began to pay attention to the importance of "Morning Light Music" and began to submit applications to the company to manage their own areas.

This is undoubtedly a timely relief for "Chenguang Music". The participation of so many celebrities will also enable the promotion of this software more quickly.

So in the past month, more than hundreds of celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong have settled in "Morning Light Music" and started to post some of their own updates in their own areas.

In this process, fans got close access to the latest updates of their idols.

The stars got the publicity they wanted and maintained their relationship with their fans. They no longer needed to go to a very far place to maintain their fan base as before.

Morning Light Music has gained great exposure and popularity among the whole nation.

The number of members has now reached about 40. Although there is no charge in the early stage, the number of paid downloads of songs far exceeds the number of members.

At present, there are about 1000 songs that have been paid for download, and the total number of paid downloads has reached 800 million. However, if we count the number of paid accounts, the number is only about 9.

That is to say, on average each of these 9 people paid to download about 90 songs.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. People who own home computers now are all wealthy families, and 9 people are by no means the limit for this group of people. There is still great room for growth in the future.

“How is the development of the public community and hot topics features going?”

"We have reached a critical stage in development and should be able to launch these two functions before the end of the year."

If each celebrity’s personal area is a “tieba” maintained by themselves, then the public area and hot topic functions are equivalent to a simplified version of “Weibo”.

The development path of Morning Light Music took a dramatic turn just after it went online, which brought Zhang Chen an unexpected benefit.

This benefit also solved a problem that had troubled him for a long time, which was that Chenguang Entertainment did not have a news media of its own.

For an entertainment company, this undoubtedly means handing over the right to judge right and wrong to others. Once there is any disturbance in public opinion, Chenguang Entertainment can easily be forced to take the passive side.

But now with the new functions developed by Morning Glory Music, this shortcoming will be made up.

"We called you to Korea this time so that you can open a branch in Korea in a short period of time. When it comes to the entertainment industry, Japan and Korea are much more mature than us. We should also be more careful about some of the chaebols here."

"I've got it in mind. I will formulate a promotion plan that suits their current situation based on the situation in their country, that is, if their chaebols set their sights on our company."

"Let them come to me and I'll talk to them in person."

South Korea's chaebols are indeed the biggest obstacle. If the relationship with them is not handled well, the company's development in South Korea will be difficult.

In Zhang Chen's expectation, the Korean company can be a branch or a subsidiary. The difference lies in whether or not to share the cake with these Korean chaebols.

If you want to develop quickly, then establishing subsidiaries and giving certain shares to these chaebols is undoubtedly the best way.

But it also depends on what the other party can give.

If the only purpose was to get something for nothing, then there would be no need for Chenguang Entertainment to take the initiative and ask the other party to cut their losses.

"Take it slow. Don't think about reaching the sky in one step. If you jump too high, you may get killed by a blow."

Although Zhang Chen's reputation is useful abroad, when it comes to business matters, Zhang Chen's face may not be useful.

At this stage in time, if you were to ask which country is the craziest when it comes to star chasing, South Korea would definitely be on the list.

At 2 p.m., a large crowd gathered outside Seoul Airport.

These people were holding all kinds of slogans in their hands, and the color of the clothes they wore was surprisingly uniform - yellow.

Cheering color is also an integral part of South Korea's star-chasing culture.

I just don’t know how they decided that Zhang Chen’s support color should be yellow.

"(Zhang Chen)!!." "! (Zhang Chen Oppa) (I love you)!"

The moment Zhang Chen walked out of the airport, thunderous cheers came from the mouths of these boys and girls who were obsessed with chasing their idol.

For a moment, Zhang Chen was deaf for a moment.

He looked up, but couldn't see where the crowd ended.

If you look from a high altitude, the entire airport exit is already packed with people.

For South Korean fans who would spontaneously organize a star-chasing group, it is not particularly difficult to dig out Zhang Chen's flight information.

With the spread of word of mouth from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The news that the world pop king will arrive at Seoul Airport today has spread like wildfire among his fans in South Korea.

Among them are Zhang Chen’s fans, Zhang Chen’s looks fans, and ordinary people who just follow the crowd.

It can be said that the area within a few kilometers has been occupied by this group of crazy fans, just to catch a glimpse of the world's pop king.

"Sarangheyo."

Zhang Chen also imitated their shouts and responded with a few words in Korean.

"Ahhh!"

It would have been fine if Zhang Chen didn't speak, but once he started speaking, and speaking the language of their country, the even more fanatical screams once again made Zhang Chen's ears suffer from the sonic attack for half a minute.

But being stuck here was not a solution. He could only instruct the team to coordinate with the airport. Leaving this accident-prone place as soon as possible was Zhang Chen's most urgent task.

The evacuation operation lasted for two hours before Seoul Airport resumed normal operations.

Zhang Chen finally managed to escape from the crazy siege of South Korean fans.

"The fans in South Korea are so crazy. If I hadn't brought enough people, I wouldn't have been able to keep the things I was wearing."

Zhang Chen took a deep breath with some fear. He still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene just now.

"I don't know who leaked the boss's flight information."

"Who else could it be? Just some people who want to build momentum for the World Cup. For the sake of $600 million, I won't argue with them."

However, due to the fans' commotion, the news that Zhang Chen had come to South Korea was directly spread from this country to all parts of the world.

If it was just speculation before, now music fans and football fans all over the world are absolutely certain that Zhang Chen will perform for audiences around the world at the Japan-Korea World Cup.

The fans are very satisfied because Zhang Chen is a world superstar who doesn't like to hold concerts.

The fans were also very satisfied, because regardless of whether it was because of Coca-Cola, Zhang Chen wrote a song for this World Cup, and it was a song that made them extremely satisfied, so Zhang Chen was the one to open this World Cup, and they were very much looking forward to Zhang Chen's live performance.

The people of South Korea are also very satisfied because their country invited the most famous pop star in the world to participate in the World Cup, and they feel very proud.

Zhang Chen's Chinese fans and even some ordinary people were also very satisfied, because Zhang Chen is Chinese. As a Chinese, he can be sought after by so many people in other countries. It even directly caused a large international airport to be paralyzed for several hours. They were very happy to see it.

Perhaps the only one who is dissatisfied is Zhang Chen himself, because he was almost choked by crazy fans and paralyzed an entire country's airport. It seems very face-saving, but to be honest, there are many people who hate this kind of behavior, so it will bring him a lot of negative public opinion.

"Sister Lan, please issue an apology notice and show your attitude."

In any case, he has brought a lot of pressure to the local residents and airport staff, so it is necessary to apologize.

Besides, he also has to consider the country's image when he is abroad. No matter how he personally views the country, he must at least do things perfectly on the surface.

“Do we need to hold a press conference?”

"That's not necessary. I don't have the time to deal with reporters. Just let the team do it in my name."

Zhang Chen didn't want to just escape from the "mouths" of his fans and fall into the hands of the South Korean media who were keeping a close eye on him.

"By the way, go and find out if there is a suitable private jet. If the price is right, put the private jet on the agenda."

This incident also reminded Zhang Chen that as a celebrity boss who has to fly around the world for a long time, if he does not have his own private jet, it would be too easy for flight information to be leaked.

Although private jets cannot be completely avoided, they are at least much more private and secure than public flights.

Moreover, recalling that since the beginning of this year, an average of one plane crashes every month in the world, private small planes can at least ensure that the plane does not have to passively wait to die when something goes wrong.

　My work and rest schedule has been a bit irregular recently, and my updates have also become irregular, but I will still ensure an update of 10,000 words every day, so please rest assured.

　　At the beginning of the month, I would like to ask for some monthly votes and recommendation votes. Thank you very much!
