Chapter 2002: Who is the most miserable system in the world(1/2)
(Well...I'll post it first today, the modification will be completed at about 1:30...it shouldn't be redefined at 1:30)
Gu Xiaobai's birthday celebration, which lasted all night, has ended.
This night, there were unprecedented stages "Tianjing Jade Tower" and "Valhalla", with tens of thousands of live audiences and more than 300,000 other audiences from all over the world.
There are wonderful performances presented by artists from all eras and countries.
There are various covers and medleys of old and new songs by Gu Xiaobai.
There is even the "substitute" Gu Xiaohei.
However, there is no Gu Xiaobai.
Gu Xiaobai did not perform in this "birthday celebration".
There is no live singing or performance.
Even though "singer" Xiaobai is only a very small part of Gu Xiaobai's music career, he seems to be planning to quit.
Hao Fanbai's last words, although informal, were like a "retirement statement", declaring that for a long time to come, there would be no Gu Xiaobai in the world music scene.
Everyone is speculating whether Gu Xiaobai will take this opportunity to officially retire from the music scene?
If it were someone else, who had finally achieved this level of success, he might have tried his best to hold on. It was just a change of voice and it wasn't death. How could he quit the music scene?
With so many previous achievements and such a vast market, how can you just give up?
But Gu Xiaobai is really likely to do this. After all, this is someone who planned to quit the music scene when he just debuted.
In addition to music, he has too many titles and skills, and giving up one of them is nothing to him.
Therefore, fans of Gu Xiaobai have a hunch.
Also quietly waiting for a result.
In the Dragon Palace on the Sea, after a night of hustle and bustle, the exhausted Hao Fanbai returned to the room with energy, but he couldn't fall asleep at all, and he was not in the mood to sleep at all.
Last night, Gu Xiaobai could leave midway, but as Gu Xiaobai's manager and the general conductor of the party, he couldn't leave midway.
In fact, whether it is the live performance sequence, musicians, soundtrack, stage coordination, etc., he needs to work hard.
Even the several difficult men from various eras over there need him to mediate and coordinate.
This night, he was exhausted.
But now, the more difficult problem really comes.
About an hour after the party ended, he began to receive calls from all over the world.
To a certain extent, Gu Xiaobai is an "independent" musician.
His music, from creation to distribution to various derivatives, upstream and downstream products, all relies on himself, rather than the giant entertainment companies that exist in the world.
Whether he goes or stays, his music style, etc. are all decided by himself and will not be influenced by anyone.
Only now, his personal studio has developed into a new Big Mac "Gu Xiaobai Entertainment" that is no less inferior to those super Big Macs.
But any musician, no matter how versatile he is, cannot be completely "independent" at this stage of his development.
Unbeknownst to Gu Xiaobai, he has various subsidiaries, partners, and communities of interest all over the world...
But now, facing the drastic changes that Gu Xiaobai may face, they must call to understand the situation, both publicly and privately.
And Hao Fanbai is also obliged to tell them the real situation.
But, what is the current situation?
Who can give definite guidance?
In the office of Hailong Palace, Hao Fanbai had just hung up the phone when he saw Zhang Hui, the person in charge of JOOZ, knocking on the door and walking in.
"Mr. Zhang, are you here also for Xiaobai?" Hao Fanbai's voice was tired and hoarse. His vocal cords had been congested with blood after talking for a long time, and he was almost speechless.
"Yes, Brother Hao, I don't want to disturb you at this time, but the headquarters and investors need to know the situation..." Zhang Hui said a little apologetically, "If it's inconvenient, I can wait. I'll pass."
Come back later."
Zhang Hui is the person in charge of JOOZ, and behind JOOZ, it was first a music giant, and then a joint investment of several giants. Although JOOZ is the boss, he is not the largest shareholder. Although he has great authority, he also
It's not a matter of words.
"No, please sit down." Hao Fanbai took a sip of tea.
A friend specially brought him the top-quality Taiping Houkui from China that was not available on the market, but it failed to moisturize his throat and instead caused more burning pain.
"Mr. Zhang, JOOZ is one of our most important partners, so I should explain this matter clearly..." Hao Fanbai said, "Xiaobai's voice change is medically proven. This is force majeure. In this world,
No one can keep Xiaobai silent, right... Even so, if this affects our cooperation, we are willing to compensate for the loss..."
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao!" Zhang Hui quickly waved his hand to stop him, "I'm not talking about losses today! No need to compensate, no need!"
When doing business, brothers should actually settle accounts openly, but Zhang Hui also knows this very well.
What does JOOZ rely on to develop to its current level and compete internationally with several music streaming giants controlled by the United States and several established entertainment companies that have been in business for hundreds of years?
It relies on the copyright of Gu Xiaobai’s songs.
It is the fastest and most comprehensive, not to mention it can even be said to be the official music platform used by Gu Xiaobai.
This allowed JOOZ to dominate the entire Asia, radiate to Europe, and even have a good market share in the Americas.
Although it has only "radiated to Europe", Asia has been the center of world civilization in its long history and is home to 60% of the people on the planet.
These leading advantages in the market are already very valuable assets.
In fact, when Gu Xiaobai first started taking the international route, his cooperation partners were far more than just JOOZ. However, JOOZ became the most stable cooperation partner of Gu Xiaobai Entertainment with its sincerity and strength.
Pay sincerity and get benefits, it's a win-win situation.
But Gu Xiaobai is a scarce resource, but money is not.
Neither is a collaboration platform.
If Gu Xiaobai was willing, he could get better conditions from other platforms every minute, but he still chose JOOZ.
Later, when Gu Xiaobai was banned by the Western world, his cooperation with JOOZ was like two Eastern knights fighting side by side, breaking through the iron curtain and blockade, and it took on a sense of destiny.
At this time, it's okay to talk about anything but compensation.
You choose your own path, and you should bear the consequences yourself.
Taking a step back, although Gu Xiaobai may have quit the music scene, after yesterday, his influence and popularity around the world have reached its peak.
All the blockades against Gu Xiaobai have become ineffective. Gu Xiaobai's strategy in Europe has torn these things into pieces. Except for the United States, the base camp of the opposition forces, almost all other places have fallen.
At this time, the relationship with Gu Xiaobai is cut off. In less than a minute, Gu Xiaobai's fans will tear up the JOOZ platform and switch to other places.
Is it time to cut off the robe and end the righteousness? Zhang Hui is not stupid.
"I just want to know how Xiaobai's situation is going. Will he stop singing in the future? We might as well adjust our strategy in time and see if we can focus on promoting the other values of Xiaobai's previous works. Brother Hao, you may also want to
We need to adjust our strategy and tap into the potential of Xiaobai’s previous works..."
"Oh, yes..." Hao Fanbai sighed and waved his hands: "Unfortunately, that's Xiaobai. Who can figure out his thoughts? Who can decide his thoughts?"
"And, to be honest, I don't dare to ask him now... for fear that he will be unhappy..." Hao Fanbai covered his face with a headache.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
Gu Xiaobai is obviously such a tyrant!
Zhang Hui understood it very well and could only sigh.
"That's not it..."
Gu Xiaobai's voice change was a sudden force majeure.
"Xiaobai himself is a force majeure..." Zhang Hui sighed.
Because he is not just an artist, no one can force him.
All the way up to now, Gu Xiaobai himself has become a real big shot. In many fields, he can make a big deal out of nothing.
He can freeze the world's most powerful fleet or freeze a country, he can influence the politics and economy of a region, he can destroy an industry, or he can make an industry prosper...
In terms of music, which seems to have the most influence, Gu Xiaobai does not have such power.
But all the giants in the music circle have no psychological advantage in front of Gu Xiaobai, and they all have to squat and speak.
"However, I still hope to get a relatively definite answer. If Xiaobai comes back, it doesn't matter whether it is a few months, half a year, or even one year, two years, or three years. We can all wait..."
Excellent musical works have strong vitality.
Excellent musicians will never be abandoned by the times overnight.
It is normal for an excellent musician to release a new album in two or three years, and then the new album dominates the charts for two or three years.
What marks a musician's flop is not how long it took for him to fall silent after his last album, but how bad his next album is.
As long as you stay on the altar, your legend will be there in the world, and your name will be on the ranking list.
Not to mention, Gu Xiaobai’s works are so numerous that they can last for a longer period of time.
"But if I really don't come back...sigh..."
To be continued...
