Chapter 909: War without Gunpowder

On the night when the big screen was installed, "Not Gray" stepped onto the stage after signing a multi-party contract.

Followers from all directions are rushing to Ruixin Cinema. This little-known idol girl group has received rewards for its own efforts and strength during this period. In terms of the number of offline active fans without water, Already comparable to idol groups launched by some big companies.

Who would believe this in reality?

The world is so big that it is difficult to see it with your own eyes. That is why there are so many beautiful data. Like a plate of exquisitely decorated and beautifully presented dishes, it makes people move their index fingers. Only those who really bite into it will notice this. It's just a fake food model that can be seen but not eaten.

The reputation of "Not Hui" has been wiped out by everyone. It is not even qualified to be a food model in the window, but it has gained a lot of reputation in small and inconspicuous restaurants and even fly restaurants.

They are not glamorous enough.

There is no official debut, no official homepage, no official account certified by Yangliu Entertainment, only organizations formed spontaneously by fans and many passers-by, sporadicly publishing their news, works and performances.

The E station is marked with the time + the recorded video of a certain station performing at the Shanghai Running Stadium. The number of clicks is not alarmingly high, and the one with the most hits only reaches a few hundred thousand.

Because it lasts so long and there are so many sessions, many people will be put off.

Comparing these data with some groups of the same period, it is naturally not good enough. Some people will say, "You are so ridiculous. You don't even have a million direct shots, so you have the nerve to touch our family?", and some people will say, "Stop it, you are so confused." Look, which celebrity has your name on the popular list?"

At first glance, it seems that the situation of "Not Gray" is still worrying.

But what are these so-called “rules”? Can it really cover the whole world?

The eyes following the dance movements in the audience didn’t think so.

The arms in the audience waving to the beat also said "no" to this.

"UNGREY!!!"

"'Not gray'——"

"Sisters, charge!"

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

The magical electronic music jumped up like lightning, and the audience was very familiar with it. From the first sound, they immediately realized which song it was, and entered the climax first, with various voices overlapping together, Shouting the names "NEXUS" and "Not Gray".

The exciting drum beats and melody suddenly exploded as the big screen lit up!

Behind the four of them, Qi Shuang, Xing Yufei, Jiang Qing'e, and Lou Lan, was a display screen as tall as two people. The carefully cut clips of "Scale Man" came to their faces amid the sparks caused by the friction of the mecha's scales. , but it did not cover the slim but firm figures of the girls in front, and the awe-inspiring light shining on them.

"The POINT of ALL!"

"The FIGHTING and TROUBLE on the Earth!"

The loud cheers were like stars surrounding the chorus of "Not Gray". It was a summer night, and everyone was wildly burning with "Not Gray" and "Scale Man" on the screen!

"I can't believe it! (I can't believe it!)"

A foreign tourist turned his back to the crowd and held up his mobile phone with a selfie stick, framing his face, the enthusiastic audience around him and "Not Gray" on the stage into the screen.

"Welcome back to Cook Youtianxia's live broadcast channel! Friends who are watching now, can you believe that this is a completely unknown idol girl group in Dragon Kingdom? Oh my god!"

He shouted excitedly, "The scene! It's very - very - hot! I already feel like I'm going to burn! Listen, you guys! Listen to this singing! Listen to this cheering!"

As he spoke, Cook, who had golden curly hair on his head, grabbed a young man next to him who was calling.

"Excuse me, could you say their name again?"

(Sorry, can you repeat their names?)

"UNGREY! They are UNGREY!"

("Not gray"! They are "not gray"!)

Zhou Chen, who was dragged away, caught a glimpse of Cook's live broadcast and responded excitedly without any dissatisfaction.

"What? Angry?"

(What? "Angry"?)

The surrounding singing, music and cheers were so loud that Cook had to turn up the volume.

It was difficult for Zhou Chen's hearing to hear the difference in Cook's pronunciation in this noisy environment. He nodded repeatedly: "Yeah!"

"Okay! Audience friends, I hope everyone will remember this surprising female group with me! They can sing and dance, and are full of energy. I have already seen the rising stars of the future!"

Cook let go of Zhou Chen, faced the camera again and shouted, "Listen to their names clearly! Angry! I have to say this is really -"

"No no no no!"

Finally another foreigner noticed this, stopped Cook and corrected him, "UNGREY! Not angry! (It's "not gray", not "angry"!)"

This guy with black hair, blue eyes and a beer belly was less stage frightened than Cook who was doing a travel live broadcast. He put his arm around his shoulders and spelled out the six letters of UNGREY one by one.

“The word ‘grey’ in Chinese has many meanings, so UNGREY actually means ‘they are neither gray nor dust’!”

This interpretation and this Amway attitude will make you a loyal fan as soon as you hear it.

"Wow! Now it gets even cooler!"

Cook's face turned red with excitement, "UNGREY! Friends watching the live broadcast, they are UNGREY! Well, I still have to say that Angry is equally appropriate - although I heard it wrong! - but their singing and dancing are like big The characters on the screen are as angry as fire! They have endless passion and power! They can burn the whole world!”

"Nice interpretation, bro!"

The loyal fan patted Cook's shoulder vigorously and gave a thumbs up to the camera, "Guys across the screen, I'm Leonard, I run a German restaurant at ISCA, Longguo Shanghai! - I I mean, if you want to come and enjoy UNGREY’s performance, please do it as soon as possible!”

"Everyone is welcome to have a beer in my restaurant after the show and chat about these four amazing Dragon Country girls! My family and I fell madly in love with them after our first live show!"

"Oh man, you really are!"

Cook couldn't laugh or cry at Leonard's use of every opportunity to advertise, "Okay, okay, as you heard! If anyone wants to travel to Dragon Country in the near future, hey, you must not miss ISCA and UNGREY!"

“And ‘The Scaly Man’!”

A third foreigner squeezed into the camera, "'Scale Man'! Awesome movie! Awesome technology! I will feel very sorry for any movie fan who has not witnessed the rise of naked-eye 3D technology!"

This is the international city of Shanghai.

This is the International Style Commercial Area (ISCA) with the most faces from various countries in Shanghai.

Even Liu Huajun didn't expect that "Not Gray" would rise up and rush out of the country!

The differences in language and culture mean that these foreigners who have settled in Long Country usually do not pay too much attention to talent shows, especially foreign tourists. This means that they will not be affected by the paradoxical rhythm on the Internet, but will only be shocked, admired, and deeply attracted by "Not Gray"'s undoubted on-site strength!

In the past few days, "Not Gray" has even attracted more international fans than domestic fans!

Relevant audio, video and information graphics are not only widely distributed on Longguo’s social platforms, but also gradually spread on external platforms.

As for the external network, it is a place that some people cannot reach.

This is a magical cycle that I don't know whether to call "scary" or "funny": from ISCA to the external network, and then from the external network back to China. Netizens thought it was a foreign group at first, some sighed, and some were curious and wanted to become fans. , and then they discovered, what? Is it our national group?

Why have you never heard of it?

Why is it that a small circle has become popular abroad, but we people in the Dragon Kingdom don't know about it?

How weird! All my foreign friends in a certain country came to ask me about UNGREY, but I, a person from the Dragon Country, didn’t even know about them!

Questions are like a snowball, and voices coming out after learning the truth from various channels are becoming more and more intense day by day.

Can anyone tell me [why] "Not Gray" and UNGREY cannot be posted on V-blog?

Who can tell me [why] "Not Gray" and UNGREY cannot be posted on V-blog? !

Leaders and employees of major entertainment and media companies were summoned to the company for a meeting overnight.

"Press it! Press it down!"

Someone had sweat on his forehead and ordered through gritted teeth.

Wasn't this girl group eliminated as early as July?

Hasn’t Yangliu Entertainment, that second-rate company, learned enough lessons and is now ready to stick to the money tree that is the recent “Thousand Colors”?

How could it be at this time...

Resurrection? !

"Remove the hot search! Check the list! Press down all the relevant ones!"

"Now hurry up and bring up our entries! The little gossips and little daily routines that make things worse can do anything!"

"Are there any melons? Where are the navy troops? Go online and lead public opinion. Hurry!"

In various conference rooms and workstations, people who could not sit still were milling around like ants on a hot pot.

The assistant secretary next to him looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth, and then walked to his direct leader and whispered:

"Mr. Li/Wang/Zhao/Zhang, it's hard to fight against the opponent..."

"It's not easy to fight?"

The leaders immediately became angry, "It's just Yangliu Entertainment, why shouldn't we fight?!"

The reporter looked very embarrassed and did not dare to look up. He only raised his eyes occasionally and continued to explain in a low voice:

"Across the way is... Wen Ruian's son..."

"What Wen Rui,"

The leaders' expressions suddenly changed, and they were all dumbfounded, "Why is it him!"

Wen Ruian made a fortune in his early years by reselling goods, and later got involved in the catering industry and real estate industry. He is famous for his sharp vision and extraordinary decisiveness. His position is still strong and he is one of the most obscure business giants in the Dragon Kingdom.

His son, Wen Yuqi, is a returnee from a prestigious school. He studied finance, but his interests are changeable. After returning to China, he is briefly testing the waters in some small fields. Like his father, he has a sharp business acumen and dares to give it a try.

So far, Wen Yuqi has indeed made several achievements, and has neither been abandoned nor shrouded in his father's aura. He has become a well-known example of "tiger father has no dog son" in the upper class circle. Although he has nothing to do with the legendary Chi He is still far from being a genius, but almost everyone thinks he has a bright future, and his priority is to shake hands and make good friends.

Leaders in the entertainment and Internet industries are sweating.

You can tell with your toes that Wen Rui'an was definitely not responsible for such a big deal, but Wen Yuqi...

Why did Yangliu Entertainment just fall in love with him?

Another message came in, saying that this was a coincidence. Wen Yuqi was originally paying attention to the new technology movie "Scale Man" with the participation of Qinyi Technology, but he just saw the performance of "Not Gray" when he passed by, so he made an immediate decision...

"Hold!!!"

In the office, countless people wanted to bang their heads against the wall.

In their brain circuits, they certainly don't think that "Not Gray" has the strength there, and will naturally become a blockbuster when the opportunity arises. They just thought, what kind of bad luck did Yangliu Entertainment have to have Wen Yuqi fall in love with them and come to cooperate?

"Boss, what about now...?"

The subordinate who was waiting for the order asked tentatively.

Some were silent, some hesitated, and some almost broke their white teeth with sporadic gold foil.

"Try! You have to give it a try!"

Someone made a decision.

Wen Yuqi's main investment and support is "Scale Man", not "Not Gray" and Yangliu Entertainment!

The invisible war started immediately. In the corridor outside the office, Zhai Ru's high heels made a series of "da da da" sounds.

She knocked on the door, walked in, put the information on the mahogany table, pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Wen Yuqi, and reported the situation in an orderly manner.

The red group’s business income is rising favorably;

Several publications reported on "Scale Man";

Several official media outlets expressed implicit support;

There seems to be a new movement in the cultural sector;

ISCA, Shanghai, and the surrounding provinces and cities of Shanghai are discussing the red group and the film "Scale Man" in real time;

Ticket sales for international airlines, domestic airlines, high-speed rail, intercity express, trains, etc. with destinations in Shanghai are in full swing;

Hotels and B&Bs in ISCA and other business districts in Shanghai are fully booked, and the tourist season has been upgraded to a busy season;

Ticket sales for each show of "Scale Man" in various theaters in ISCA have entered a fierce stage;

The official trailer for the collaboration between "Not Gray" and "Scale Man" still exceeded one million in half a day despite strict restrictions on distribution;

The average offline audience of "Not Gray"'s daily running tour is 1,000 people, and it continues to rise...

Zhai Ru paused, took the tea pushed by Wen Yuqi, thanked her softly, took a few sips and continued.

"Around three o'clock this morning, a large number of negative revelations that are difficult to distinguish between true and false appeared on various platforms."

She said, "It is obviously aimed at 'Not Gray' and Yangliu Entertainment. Moreover, they have invariably avoided 'Scale Man', or showed an attitude of recommending 'Scale Man' but disapproving of 'Not Gray'."

This is a statement to show those behind the scenes like Wen Yuqi that "our enemy is not you." In some cases, it can be seen as a gesture of goodwill.

Wen Yuqi let out a silent sneer with slightly averted eyes.

“Insularity,” he said. “Good leaders don’t sit back and ignore their allies.”

Then he said: "Keep fighting."

hit what? Marketing, packaging, public opinion battle.

The strength of "Scale Man" lies there.

The strength of "Not Gray" is there.

If it weren't for the blue team still hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles, Wen Yuqi would even feel a little relaxed.

Zhai Ru took the order and left.

Not long after, scoldings and curses started to sound again in offices of all sizes.

"Press! Keep pressing!"

The leader wiped his sweat frequently with his handkerchief.

The young supervisor in front of the monitor swallowed his saliva, his voice harsh.

"Team leader/director/manager/boss, we seem to..."

"I can't hold it anymore!"
