Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 80 Delhui sells out again, is she going to use her beauty to seduce customers?

While Shen Gongbao was interacting intimately with Jing Tian on set, Wu Kebo was having tea and chatting with several Hong Kong businessmen at a private club in Yanjing.

Among those present were Lin Jianyue, the owner of Huanya; General Manager Yang, the owner of Yinghuang; General Manager Xiang of Huaguoxing Company; and General Manager Zou, the owner of Jiahe.

These companies and their owners can be said to represent half of the current entertainment capital in Hong Kong.

There is both competition and cooperation between them.

He is getting old and wants to retire from the underworld with a large sum of cash.

Back in June, Zou Wenhuai had already reached an agreement with Wu Kebo to sell his shares to Chengtian, thereby enabling Chengtian to achieve a backdoor listing.

Originally, the transaction was scheduled to be completed in September or October of this year after the accounting audit was completed.

However, Chengtian is now embroiled in negative news, and the defamation lawsuit filed by Shen Gongbao against Chengtian and Wu Kebo is still ongoing, forcing the transaction to be suspended.

Zou Wenhuai was also in a hurry, and after receiving Wu Kebo's request, he helped him organize this event.

Wu Kebo chatted for a few minutes, and then played a video on the screen in the club.

The video features Delhui's latest GG (Gross Video), which is also the GGMV for the song "See You at the Next Intersection".

Accompanied by light and upbeat electronic music, Shen Gongbao and Li Yitong sang a duet, taking turns singing lines.

"The second hand ticks, DI—DI—DA~ Small time difference, DI—DI—DA~~ My morning tea moonlight shines on your hair—"

"See You at the Next Intersection" is Li Yuchun's most popular representative work. Although the lyrics and melody are relatively simple, it has a light and romantic atmosphere and is very popular among young people.

This song will likely be used by many GG (gay/gay) companies as a GG song in the future.

Now, with Shen Gongbao and Li Yitong's interpretation, the song is not only more romantic and dynamic, but also has a fashionable and refreshing feel.

Even their Delhui clothes looked very fashionable.

The bosses present had listened to many songs and didn't think "See You at the Next Intersection" was particularly high quality, but they all felt that it was a perfect choice as a cheesy song.

This scene was filmed very well.

The final line from the male character was also good: "Delhui ON MYWAY!"

It highlights the brand's personality.

After GG finished playing, Wu Kebo switched the screen again, and the comments below the GG video appeared.

He said, "This video was released on August 11th. It was uploaded to Tudou.com and has now reached 38 million views!"

The positive review rate below is over 80%!

Mr. Yang adjusted his glasses, read the comments, and indeed, they were overwhelmingly positive.

"Master, you're serious! So you can write songs too, you're a singer-songwriter!"

"Shen Gongbao played the guqin at the signing ceremony for Snow Leopard Studio before, so it's not surprising that he can write songs, but I didn't expect him to write such light and refreshing songs!"

"The Taoist priest is too ruthless! He specifically endorses products I can afford! No complaints, I'll order a Delhui T-shirt to support him!"

"After watching GG, I suddenly think Delhui's clothes are pretty cool. Support the Taoist Priest!"

"A female fan of the Taoist priest has come to report in and bought ten items to show her support!"

"I have a feeling that Delhui will sell like hotcakes, just like the Gionee V5!"

After reading these comments, General Manager Yang and the others directly felt the popularity of Shen Gongbao at this moment, and their expressions became much more solemn.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wu Kebo nodded in satisfaction and continued, "See you at the next intersection." This song has already topped the QQ Music Hot Songs Chart and ranked first on Baidu Music Index in just three days since its release.

Delhui's new summer and autumn clothing line saw a sales increase of 580%!

The total sales volume of clothing in this promotion exceeded 113 million pieces, and the total sales revenue in three days exceeded 1 million!

After these data were released, new opinions emerged online.

Shen Gongbao's commercial value is not only higher than Andy Lau's, but also surpasses that of the rising superstar Zhou Jielun!

After all, whether it's Gionee, Delhui, or even Andy Lau and Jay Chou's endorsements, none of them are as effective as Shen Gongbao's!

The publication of the Shenyang Gazette brought about many changes.

His endorsement of Gionee V5 and his concept of making technology accessible to everyone inspired Delhui.

In 2007, Delhui faced a serious crisis of losing distributors, with 17 out of 23 distributors collectively "rebelling".

Delhui is considering opening directly operated stores.

They originally looked down on Taobao, thinking it was full of cheap counterfeit goods that didn't match their brand image.

However, after witnessing the benefits of technology for all and heeding Shen Gongbao's advice, Delhui decisively embraced Taobao and opened a direct-sale store on Taobao.

During the GG shoot, Shen Gongbao also changed Delhui's current GG phrase "My personality" to the more radical "ONMYWAY" based on Delhui's previous GG phrase "ONTHEWAY", further highlighting individuality and enhancing the brand image.

Delhui's announcement of Shen Gongbao as its spokesperson and the start of its promotional campaign using GG's songs coincided with the opening of its new Taobao store.

At this time, Taobao also wanted to get rid of the counterfeit label and had been seeking cooperation with brand owners. The cooperation with Delhui was a disaster for Taobao.

So Taobao also provided traffic and helped with promotion.

In addition, Delhui is about to go public and urgently needs good news, so the data is somewhat inflated.

Under such circumstances, after Shen Gongbao became the spokesperson for Delhui, Delhui's sales exploded again!

And the sales figures this time were even more astonishing than those of Gionee!

On the one hand, the sales of clothing products exceeded 100 million yuan in three days, which was very rare in 2007, especially since Delhui was following the affordable pricing strategy.

On the other hand, the main sales channel this time is Taobao. Everyone can go to Taobao to view Delhui's sales statistics.

This data is very intuitive, and its impact is naturally very direct.

Wu Kebo concluded: "If the Gionee V5's explosive sales were just a coincidence, then the Delhui's explosive sales cannot be explained by coincidence."

Now, not only have many viewers formed the impression that Shen Gongbao has high commercial value, but the ideas of these brands in the endorsement market have also changed!

What will happen if they truly recognize Shen Gongbao's commercial value and keep offering high-priced endorsements?

At that time, top brands will be vying to have Shen Gongbao as their spokesperson. If they can't get him, they will turn their attention to other male celebrities in mainland China.

People will reconsider and realize that endorsements from mainland celebrities are just as effective, so there's no need to use those from Hong Kong.

In this way, all of our interests will be harmed.

This situation must be stopped!

That's why I invited everyone here today to discuss countermeasures.

There are times when there is competition within the Hong Kong entertainment circle, but also times when they cooperate to face external challenges.

Wu Kebo's words make a lot of sense.

Over the past decade or so, mainland Chinese stars have paid far less for their films and endorsements than their Hong Kong and Taiwan counterparts.

Brands have also developed this habit and aesthetic, believing that having Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities endorse their products is a good thing.

If Shen Gongbao breaks this inertia, the Hong Kong entertainment circle will lose a lot of endorsement fees.

After all, there are only so many good brands, and endorsements are highly sought after.

This is why the Hong Kong entertainment industry has always suppressed male celebrities from the mainland; it's all about real interests.

Shen Gongbao's sudden rise to prominence, surpassing Andy Lau and Jay Chou in endorsements, will demonstrate the value of mainland stars' endorsements to the market.

If Shen Gongbao truly rises to prominence, Yinghuang's Xie Tingfeng, Chen Guanxi, Eason Chan, etc., Huaguoxing's Louis Koo and Cecilia Cheung, and Media Asia's Andy Lau, Leo Ku, Wu Yanzu, etc., will all lose a lot of endorsements.

For Wu Kebo, Shen Gongbao was unwilling to settle and kept dragging the lawsuit against Chengtian into a protracted legal battle, which he could not afford to continue.

We must find an opportunity to get rid of Shen Gongbao.

That's why he invited these bosses from the Hong Kong entertainment circle, since they all share a common goal in this area and want to work together to target them.

After seeing all the bosses nod, Wu Kebo continued, "I investigated Shen Gongbao, and he didn't have any scandals before he became a star."

The biggest problem was that on the set of The Forbidden Kingdom, Liu Yifei and Li Yitong were jealous of each other over him.

This man was quite lecherous; he even had an affair with Li's sister, Li Xue, on set.

I sent paparazzi to follow us, but so far we haven't gotten anything.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If Wu Kebo is determined to investigate Shen Gongbao's involvement in the Kung Fu King film crew, he will definitely be able to find out.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang said, "Even if you managed to film this little crotch matter, it wouldn't have much effect."

Shen Gongbao has no publicly acknowledged girlfriend, nor is he married. At most, he may have had some rumored relationships with one or two women, but these don't affect the overall situation.

Wu Kebo nodded and said, "Mr. Xiang, you're right, that's why I invited everyone here to discuss this together."

After saying this, Wu Kebo waited for everyone to speak, but those present were all seasoned veterans and none of them dared to speak first.

Wu Kebo had no choice but to say, "At least I know now that Shen Gongbao is a very lecherous man."

So I plan to have one of our female artists approach him and see if we can get any useful information out of him.

Based on the events of his previous life, Wu Kebo sent Tangyan cigarettes to the Hong Kong entertainment circle in order to successfully list the company on Hong Kong Island.

His most urgent task now is to resolve Shen Gongbao's lawsuit. After learning that Shen Gongbao is a womanizer, he plans to have Tang Yan seduce Shen Gongbao.

Wu Kebo also kept a secret and did not directly mention Tang Yan's name.

But his honey trap finally got him talking.

Xiang Huaqiang said, "Recently in Hong Kong Island, wasn't there a lot of noise about that artificial human model?"

Lin Jianyue chimed in, "You mean Angelbaby Yang Ying? Her transformation process was even serialized in a magazine; it's quite inspiring."

"That's right. Originally, I was planning to find a popular male celebrity from the mainland, recruit him as my henchman, and arrange for Yang Ying to date him."

Since we're going to deal with Shen Gongbao now, why not let Yang Ying give it a try?

If Shen Gongbao is willing to act as a lackey, we'll prioritize peace!

In the past two years, Huang Xiaoming has been one of the most popular young actors in mainland China.

His plan to go to Hong Kong Island to recognize Chen Lan as his godmother, and then date and marry the young model Yang Ying, can be seen as him considering himself inferior, which is a kind of backstabbing behavior towards the mainland entertainment industry.

Leaving aside the major impacts, just look at Huang Xiaoming himself. The 06 version of The Return of the Condor Heroes was quite successful when it aired in Hong Kong, and he was quite popular there.

After his relationship with Yang Ying was revealed, his fan club in Hong Kong immediately announced its disbandment.

Now Xiang Huaqiang wants to use this tactic on Shen Gongbao.

But Wu Kebo shook his head and said, "Shen Gongbao is with Liu Yifei, so don't even think about artificial humans. He definitely wouldn't be interested in them."

Besides, this kid has a tough backbone; he even dared to criticize Jet Li and John Woo, why would he be your lackey!

Mr. Yang, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "There's no need to complicate things. We can just find a beautiful woman to seduce Shen Gongbao, sleep with him, take photos, and then distribute them, right?"

Teacher Chen's incident actually involved sending his computer for repair back in 06.

Those photos had actually been circulating within the industry for a while, but the Hong Kong entertainment circle collectively suppressed them.

Mr. Yang's niece was involved in the incident, and he was deeply impressed by it.

When people are devising strategies, they will subconsciously draw on their own experience, and Mr. Yang is no exception.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang and Lin Jianyue exchanged a glance, both understanding each other perfectly.

Lin Jianyue added, "President Yang, I remember your company's newcomer, Bai Tao, isn't she currently on the set of the Red Cliff film? This is an excellent opportunity!"

For Lam Kin-yuet, putting aside the interests of the Hong Kong entertainment circle, he was also unhappy that Ng Yin-cho was made a supporting role to Shen Kung-pao in Chibi.

It would be better to get rid of Shen Gongbao and let Wu Yanzu play the male lead!

So he was stirring things up, but General Manager Yang was a little reluctant to let him go.

Therefore, Mr. Yang even consulted a fortune teller, who said that Bai is a water-type person and will be blessed with noble people.

Seeing Mr. Yang hesitate, Wu Kebo said, "Mr. Yang, Xie Tingfeng and Chen Guanxi from your company are currently the most popular male idols in Hong Kong, and Eason Chan is the most popular male singer."

They are the most direct competitors of Shen Gongbao!

Bai is just a newcomer; we can train new ones. I can help you find someone new.

You offer white peaches, and I'll offer Tang Yan, a promising new star from our company.

With a two-pronged approach, we will definitely take down Shen Gongbao!

It just so happens that Jackie Chan is going to hold a charity football match on Hong Kong Island on September 13th.

We will invite a new generation of stars from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to participate, which will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention!

After we got the dirt on them, we leaked it during the football match!

Not only will Shen Gongbao be disgraced, but a new generation of mainland stars will also be affected, allowing Hong Kong's entertainment circle to continue dominating the mainland market!

Because of other activities during the National Day holiday, Jackie Chan's charity ball game was moved up by half a month to September 13th.

This matter had already been reported and hyped by the media a couple of days ago.

Wu Kebo has already claimed to be a member of the Hong Kong entertainment circle even before successfully listing his company through a backdoor listing on Hong Kong Island. He can only be described as very flexible.

He continued, "Not only that, I've heard that Mr. Liu, the owner of Gionee, enjoys gambling in Macau and also has a need for overseas investment. We can take advantage of that."

Delhui wants to list on Hong Kong Island, so we need to find someone to thoroughly investigate this company's accounts.

If Gionee and Delhui both run into problems, Shen Gongbao will be seen as a jinx; who will still endorse him then?

Shen Gongbao thwarted Wu Kebo's plan to go public, making him Wu Kebo's mortal enemy.

Wu Kebo also made full preparations to deal with Shen Gongbao.

His plan, which included both using women as bait and targeting the brands he endorsed, was well-received by the business owners present.

An operation to strangle Shen Gongbao was thus launched.
