early bird sold out

In October, there is a cool breeze on the bank of the Wenjiang River. Compared with the golden sunshine that just looks warm, the warm wind at the venue is more pleasant at this time.

At [-]:[-] p.m., under the professional and gentle guidance of the staff, the media reporters who squeezed their heads and got the invitation letter for today's press conference finished signing in at the reception desk, holding their laptops in an orderly manner Sit on the corresponding seat with the recorder.The photographers came earlier, and the venue had not yet opened. They had already gathered at the door in advance, waiting for the first time to rush to the best position to set up the exclusive camera angle of our agency.

Three days have passed since the news of the draft gate that happened on the night of October 105th. At the end of the long holiday, the aftermath of the "[-] incident" has not yet ended, and it is even intensifying.

Various legal statements from the parties, studios and different companies have been dumped on the public platform one after another, and the relevant timeline has even been carefully sorted out under the hot search to an "accident" nearly 30 years ago.The giants are the first to fall without warning, and the rookies are taking risks in order to know whether the new era will really come. Under the danger of everyone, there are immeasurable huge opportunities hidden.

On the first day after the workday resumed, at two o'clock in the afternoon on October [-]th, as the early bird among the "rookies", Xi Zhao, who had been speculated tens of thousands of times in recent public opinion, was about to leave Xingyan , for the first time to hold a press conference to the public.

The last time he was on a business trip to Yancheng, on the eve of Xia Zhizhu's T-stage debut and the eve of his first confession to the other party, Xi Zhao met his current lover on the top floor of Jiangyi Hotel.Perhaps because the jellyfish he met with Xia Zhizhu in the 17th-floor aquarium was too memorable, Xi Zhao chose the five-star banquet hall in Jiangyi again without any hesitation.

Ten minutes later, the press conference will be broadcast to the public in the form of a live webcast. Various media had offered Mr. Xi sincere cooperation for the right to live broadcast before, but after they completely beat him to death Previously, Xi Zhao accidentally chose Jingyi TV, which he invested in when he was the president of Xingyan.

Different from the game island that is now operating independently after paying the liquidated damages, Jingyi and Luguo, which were once acquired by Xi Zhao, are still under Xingyan's banner, and in order to obtain the most unique publicity ever on your company's platform Compared with the push on the homepage, the money paid by the former boss to the old club is almost enough for him to buy Jingyi again.

However, although the price is not small, under the pressure of huge public opinion, Xingyan is bound to give all he can to the smooth progress of the exclusive broadcast of this press conference, and the huge traffic caused by the delicate relationship between the two parties is not any other platform. can easily be achieved.

The two sides used their "magnanimity" to prove to everyone once again: above the mall, there has never been an eternal enemy.

The story has not yet begun, and the scene is already dramatic enough. Since the sudden official announcement yesterday, this press conference has received great expectations and attention.

The media invited earlier than the "105 Incident" has also keenly noticed something unusual in recent days. In the interview outline listed on the laptop at the moment, there are a large number of recent news events, parties and events. Sharp questions like discord between stars and words.

Their goals are too clear, and no one even remembers what the theme of today is—it was obviously the first official presentation of the new company to the media and investors, but under the united criticism of everyone, it turned into a A court hunt dedicated to the protagonist.

But Xi Zhao, as the defendant and the prey, looks so easy.

When the closed door of the venue was opened again, the crowded media area at the door suddenly boiled like boiling water, and the sound of shutters beat the drums one after another. The young people stepped onto the rostrum steadily at their own pace.

In the news in the past, Mr. Xi, who never accepted exclusive interviews, always attracted the attention of the world with his unreasonable and stern image.As the first appearance of the new identity, everyone has guessed countless times what kind of new appearance he will appear in.

He was born in the aristocracy and returned from Wall Street. He has attracted much attention because of his brilliant background and leaping to the top of the industry. In the end, he resigned from Xingyan because of a disagreement with the top management. A few months later, in order to achieve the first step of starting from scratch, He just signed a mortgage contract for his mansion with the bank last week.

What should a person who puts all his eggs in one basket, abandons his career, defies the rules of the industry, and succeeds or succeeds?

Before Xi Zhao appeared, people thought about thousands of appearances, but after he appeared, those images followed his steps and disappeared page by page, and they suddenly realized that it was like this.

He has hardly changed at all.

Calm, upright, and personable, it seems that he was born with a strong control force in his gestures.Even the iconic "X" blue pattern on the side of the ear has not changed at all, and it still reflects his unquestionable authority at the moment when he may be about to face "nothing".

But at the same time, something still quietly changed in Xi Zhao's body.

Perhaps it is because the suit fabrics from Osaka are luxurious and soft, which makes the man's tall figure no longer look oppressive under the calm temperament. ’s pocket square is also framed in the picture, and he even looks like a gentleman who came to an appointment on time.

"Please abide by the order, the press conference will be officially held soon."

The last reminder was over, and the staff holding the walkie-talkie turned their attention to Xi Zhao again. As long as the other party made a slight gesture, the lights in the venue would be dimmed softly for his presentation.

The curtain on the podium is still projecting a scene of the Milky Way starry sky at this moment. It is the scenery that Xi Zhao encountered in the mountains when he was hiking in the university. moment.

The content after that is the introduction of the new company's concept and structure. He has rehearsed and polished countless times in his garden, and even before he came here, he had just performed to the only audience in the aquarium on the 17th floor, facing the bamboo of summer and leaning against a pool of blue, with the cooperation of underwater creatures. One last rehearsal.

Bo Chi, Yu Jianyi, He Zhengkai, Lily...everyone who was lucky enough to hear his speech finally expressed their sincere respect and applause to him. , Whispering and whispering that never stopped, the flashlight and the reporter's eyes flickered more freely than the flashlight... Xi Zhao, who had never really cured his neurophobia, suddenly decided to temporarily change his train of thought amidst the heartbeat and tinnitus.

He put down the page presenter that was going to demonstrate the PPT.

The hotel's cafeteria has a real-time broadcast of the press conference, and the LCD screens are arranged according to the pattern in the cabin.

During afternoon tea, Yoko Natsume was sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant, and when she saw Xi Zhao on the screen slowly rolling up her cuffs, an antique watch she was very familiar with suddenly appeared on her wrist.

She was a little surprised, blinked, then lowered her eyes for a while, and couldn't hold back a sigh and a chuckle.

The watch that belonged to her father and the old man had expected her to give to her lover, she passed it to Xia Zhizhu before, and after going around, it was delivered to this man again.

"I've never had the pleasure of doing any roadshows since I graduated to work."

Xi Zhao slightly bent his lips, and said the answer with everyone's clear smiles: "After all, in most cases, like you, I am the one who sits at the table and coldly evaluates the value of the roadshow's project."

Even for the few invited speeches, he just left after speaking, never participating in the interactive session—half a minute ago, everyone, including Xi Zhao himself, thought that this would also become today’s fixed process.

But unexpectedly, when he was in the position of waiting to be evaluated for the first time, in addition to his superior appearance and experience background, today's speakers also have enough clear and clear language, listening and reaction skills.This is normal, but it is still surprising, and someone has even edited a line of destined to be discarded title in the document because of this never-before-thought-out picture: God!Xi Zhao can also talk eloquently?

"As you wrote in the press releases last night and this morning, it is still unknown whether everything that happened here today will become a prelude to a phenomenal carnival. Maybe everything I will say next can only maintain After two days of enthusiasm, it was forgotten. Perhaps fortunately, one or two sentences can contribute an insignificant force in the current national discussion.

"I'm not sure how effective my performance today will be, but what I can be sure of is that standing here facing everyone today will be my personal correct choice after returning to China for a long time, second only to No.1. Therefore, it is better to give the time to friends from the media first. If you have any answers you want to know, please feel free to ask questions.

"A total of ten chances."

Xi Zhao raised his head slightly, casually grasping the only initiative in the audience again.

"Why did you choose the location of the press conference in Yancheng? Is there any consideration in avoiding a head-on collision with Xingyan?"

"May I ask what kind of company you established? How is it different from Xingyan? Last night, your former employee actor Bo Chi announced that he has officially taken over Huashi Films. Will you become competitors in the future?"

"Mr. Xi, are you a bit too aggressive towards your old club Xingyan?"

The same name was mentioned in three consecutive questions, and those who didn't know thought Xingyan was the interviewee's old lover.

Xi Zhao was very generous and gave the media ten opportunities to ask questions without any restrictions, but he was also very stingy. He said at the beginning that he would group the questions that he personally thought were the same into one answer.

When he finally raised his hand to call a timeout after the third reporter sat down, for a moment, everyone at the scene involuntarily let out a breath they had held for a long time, but immediately, everyone immediately raised the question even more nervously. Heartstrings - except for waiting to record the answers to these three questions verbatim, they have no room to waste the next seven opportunities.

"It can be seen that everyone is most interested in the anecdotes between me and Xingyan."

Standing behind the podium, Xi Zhao remained calm.The color temperature in his eyes was very clear, without any hint of ridicule or resentment.The reporter, who tried to enlarge all his micro-expressions like a microscope, looked behind the camera for a long time, and finally decided to give up his over-speculation wearily, and began to listen carefully to what the speaker said like his colleagues around him.

"People say that the name of 'Xingyan' comes from one of the founders, Ms. Fu Yinwei's family name. Of course, this is not wrong. I think the other deeper meaning should be very easy to understand ——As one of the original intentions of the establishment of Xingyan, the founders had unlimited expectations that everyone here is a star who can speak up. As a cold evaluator, I was once because of this statement on the Xingyan official website. The temperature in the confession that is extremely easy to be ignored, finally decided to give up everything I have, go back to the place where I grew up, and try to start a new business. Of course, I believe that until a second ago, there will still be people I think it's a stupid decision."

Scattered laughter erupted from his teasing in the venue, but Xi Zhao stood there with his brows and eyes stretched, his back still as straight as a green pine.

"But I have never regretted joining Xingyan. In fact, I chose Yancheng as the first public location because it was once the cradle of Xingyan's incubation and birth."

In Jiangcheng, in the meeting room of Xingyan Headquarters in Siqin Building, the high-level executives are staring fixedly at the eloquent protagonist on the projection screen.

In the not-too-short period of time in the past, this person had truly stood on top of the chief they saw now. Even though the front and back were full of swords, he still used his unambiguous and arrogant posture to firmly control the place for nearly a few days. The fate of a hundred people.But at this moment, when Xi Zhao has already left the top office, they still can only sit here and half actively listen to all his plans for the future.

Some people left the meeting angrily when Xi Zhao took the initiative to mention the name of "Xing Yan", but more people, including the veteran who once questioned Gu Chenxing "what is Xi Zhao doing?" She squinted her eyes and waited for his next words.And Mr. Lu Sicong, Song Ci's biggest rival who had been instigated by Xi long ago, is now conscientiously recording all the details that happened in the conference room when Miss Lily was away.

"There may be some deviations from your expectations and expectations. I never wanted to create a company exactly like Xingyan to compete with anyone. Like many people, I am still exploring the future of the cultural economy."

An independent, self-directed, clean and transparent platform that is not easily manipulated by so-called capital and allows young people to have more opportunities to shine on the stage.Just like the Island Yu game, as a member of the APP associated with it, the huge record fruit island is just a small navigation point under the music category in the game's ever-expanding map-Xi Zhao's ambition has been from the beginning It is bigger than everyone thinks, but his original intention is also more pure.

"Rather than setting up a company, I want to build a dream factory and gather more professional or potential actors, musicians, dancers, painters, game makers and even craftsmen in the industry to serve them. Create a complete and professional brokerage system and a recyclable 'biological chain'. As for me and Bochi... I think the incident that everyone is worried about will not happen, because I have come to this point, as mentioned just now, I have made a lot of different attempts in various industries. Isle Yu, which was born on the basis of Xingyan and is now operating independently, is only the first step. In the process of building this castle in the sky that sounds too naive and abstract, the biggest one I have is The partner is Mr. Bo."

Amid the uproar, the reporters were still in great shock and kept writing down this frightening idea in the document.

Just 10 minutes covered too much information. Xi Zhao used his polite and gentle appearance to stop the most acute questions in the middle, so that the sharp arrow shot at him gradually slowed down before his eyes, and finally he calmly held it in his palm. Become a weapon of self-defense.

He was too cunning, and in order to pierce Mr. Xi's impenetrable defenses, the bold reporter once again raised his hand.

"Your idea is indeed 'great', but regardless of the future results, have you done any unusual actions for today? The object of prosecution in the '105 Incident' also involves the high-level executives of Xingyan. According to my knowledge You know, those few people had different conflicts with you when you were the president, what do you say about that?"

The purpose is so prominent that Xi Zhao can answer the question "I have the right to remain silent".

In order to avoid being interrupted at any time, the reporter held the microphone tightly until the last moment, uttering words like a machine gun, but still able to speak clearly, and slammed on the venue with every word.

The climax of this scene came too quickly, but before the barrage on the live broadcast platform had time to raise question marks, Xi Zhao had already resolved the deadlock in everyone's eyes lightly.

"I did help them," Xi Zhao replied.

Like water falling into a frying pan, amidst the sudden sound of the shutter, the man calmly looked at the reporter who hadn't had time to put away his surprised eyes: "But as the manager of a company, after receiving the news about his subordinates involving principles When reporting sexual misconduct complaints, I think that whether it is out of responsibility or the original nature of human beings, the first thing I should do is not to try to cover up with public relations, but to try my best to return justice to both parties. As for the knowledge you said ..."

Xi Zhao tilted his head, and there were some subtle ups and downs in his tone: "I think, if you understand more deeply, you will know that people who have had conflicts with me can almost come from the bank of the Lujiang River in Jiangcheng. All the way to the streets of Manhattan in New York City."

I don't know how the people involved will react, but the charm of this cold joke has at least convinced most people inside and outside the camera. In an atmosphere that is obviously much more relaxed than before, the reporter who has overfulfilled the task still stands stubbornly, unwilling Xindi asked loudly again: "Then, those 'victims' whose names have been anonymized in the complicated petition and have not yet proved their real existence, do you think they really exist? Do you think that, Could this whole incident be just a fake grand reality show that some of the signers exaggerated for their own interests and became uncontrollable today?"

He lost his temper.

Even if Xi Zhao did not express his opinion, many colleagues present who were taken up for two consecutive opportunities to ask questions expressed their dissatisfaction with the reporter's final unobjective question mixed with too many personal guesses.But soon, their recording pens and cameras were once again aimed at Xi Zhao, who hadn't spoken a word since just now.

As if hearing some funny story, after the silence, Xi Zhao suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled.

He seldom smiles, but that doesn't mean his smile is not contagious. When the shallow smile lines spread out from the man's cold eyes, most of the people present couldn't help but straighten their backs along with him.

In cubicles, coffee shops, under bus stop signs, in bright conference rooms or in noisy downtown streets, pedestrians in twos and threes hold their mobile phones, or sit behind the display screen with the small window open, and at the same time, listen together Get simple and powerful answers into your earphones.

"I think it may be because those brave signers also know that entering this circle does not mean that they have to completely sell other people's personality and privacy."

Xi Zhao looked up at the reporter who asked the question: "Are you right?"

They are in a huge Colosseum.

The spectators on the high platform held tea in their hands and watched the victims bury their heads in the fight with cold eyes and a smile.

Like betting on a horse, they cast their favorite chips for the object of their choice.

It's like raising Gu, the outstanding ones will get rich rewards that ordinary people can't imagine, but when they turn their heads, how many people lose their identities, even forget their original intentions, and turn to exploit and trample more in the dark as ants? Struggling innocents.

The dawn will never be seen on the Colosseum, but there will always be people who will go up with the fire in their hands. Even if they want to burn their own bones as fuel, they will swallow tears and grit their teeth to light up the dusk for a moment.

why?

Because even if you don't believe it, there are not only capitalists who cannibalize in this pile of gold and jade.

In addition to indifferent fame and fortune, there are occasional hot human feelings here.
