Chapter 122 Announced in Advance

The preparation for a concert takes at least a month, and sometimes even half a year.

But in order to keep up with this wave of popularity, the boss basically used all his available connections, and the entire company was mobilized.

We directly hired a well-known designer in the industry to design the costumes for the concert. They should be exaggerated and artistic.

You cannot wear the same clothes as other artists.

It also needs to be convenient for dancing, so it takes eleven or twelve sets of clothes to be designed.

The designer never thought that the time would be so tight, and he really didn’t want to continue.

However, Gu Yanqiu's boss came to his house again and again, begging sincerely. After all, they had been friends for many years, so he had no choice but to go ahead.

Being an artist is also hard-working. In addition to the pressure of variety shows every day, they also have to practice singing and dancing, and they are so busy that they almost work non-stop.

There are also staff members living directly next to the stage, and all designs and safety are handled by dedicated people.

Gu Yanqiu was busy and had no time, so they just walked the stage over and over again.

The live band was a band sponsored by Jay Chou, and the dancers were also invited from well-known domestic dance troupes.

The person who has the most free time now is Gu Yanqiu’s chubby agent.

Xiaopang has been quietly reducing his presence recently, for fear that his colleagues will notice that he is idle.

Now when I look at everyone’s heavy dark circles, their resentment is greater than that of a ghost.

Even clerical staff have started to rush to the scene, and the boss is really at his wit's end.

"Brothers" is now in its ninth season. Every season, there are two or three performances that garner millions of views. However, few of them manage to maintain this level of popularity.

This time, we are holding a concert to solidify our fan base while the popularity is at its peak, and everyone is under tremendous pressure. Any mistake will lead to criticism.

He pushed the issue forward very quickly, essentially using all the connections he had accumulated over the years in the industry.

According to his plan, the news can be promoted after the second performance, and the concert can be held after the third performance.

But that was just his idea.

Fangirls are always capable of anything. One of them took a screenshot of their concert application and posted it to the group to ask.

"Gu Yanqiu is going to hold a concert?" This caused a huge uproar, and everyone around him said, "No way."

“I haven’t heard of it.”

"It's fake news."

Some impatient people even went directly to the authorities to ask, "What's going on?"

The official replied: "The news is true and will be officially announced later."

Now, everyone was upset.

The reaction was different from what everyone expected. Everyone was shocked.

"A garbage company doesn't behave like a human being."

"Do you know how tired my brother is?"

"Why are you eating so ugly? You're already in a hurry to cut the leeks!"

"I saw in previous interviews that other people said participating in this show requires non-stop work. They can't eat or sleep well. Why does the company want to exploit them so much?"

"Of course we have to exploit him. The company only has this one artist, and they're counting on him to support the entire company."

“That’s disgusting!”

“Why can’t artists be given enough time to rest?”

The public was outraged online, and there was even a hashtag #boycottGu Yanqiu’s concert#.

Their purpose was simple: they didn't want Gu Yanqiu to be so tired.

After all, this is the ninth season of Hell difficulty.

The entire stage performance is live. Variety shows are broadcast once a week, which means that artists have to create a good performance in a very short time and they have to be in business all the time.

The mental and physical stress is enormous.

Gu Yanqiu's popularity has been rising with the variety show. He is highly anticipated.

No one wants him to be distracted and do other things during this period.

All the fans thought he should just follow the routine and do things one by one, but seeing the company was so eager to start making money, they were all furious!

The fans have good intentions, but they're just fanning the flames, making this situation seem out of control.

When the boss saw this hot search term, his eyes went dark.

He was a boss, and had a big heart, but he couldn't stand people's hurtful words.

Moreover, this term is clearly being exploited by those with ulterior motives. Once an artist is labeled with this term, it greatly restricts their development.

Even if the fans argue with other groups in the future, they will not be able to stand the other party posting screenshots of trending searches in the square like this.

The boss hasn't slept well these past few days. And now he's being trolled. He really can't take it anymore.

He directly called the Gu Yanqiu fan club and asked them to help control public opinion and pay money to reduce the trending searches.

It is much more expensive to drop the trending search than to get on the trending search.

He even called Xiaopang and asked him to contact the group owner and Chen Duo, the fan club member, to help prevent irrational fans from rushing forward.

The company and the artists are already exhausted enough, and now they have to take the time to explain things to the fans even though the work is not finished yet.

But now that this thing has started, with all the connections and money invested, this concert must happen.

I can't stop at all.

After a while, the group leader, Yueliang, muted everyone in the group. A group message read, "Qiuqiu has always wanted to hold a concert. His current show is going strong, but after it ends, there's no telling how many new fans will stay. Holding a concert while he's seen by the most people might help retain more fans. Don't you want to hear him sing his own songs?"

"Gu Yanqiu is a prodigy who can practice dancing on his own for over ten hours a day. Even when he didn't have the means, he still paid for a coffee shop concert out of his own pocket. He's our dream, but holding a concert is also his dream. Now he's one step closer to his dream!"

"If you see anyone bashing the company on different platforms again, please don't give them the attention. They say the previous company was good, but he never managed Gu Yanqiu. They say the current company is bad, but he is willing to hold a concert for my brother. And it's a concert for 10,000 people."

After Yueliang finished speaking, she took a screenshot of this sentence and posted it on the super topic and her own homepage. Soon Chen Duo liked this Weibo post.

The anger that was incited gradually subsided a little.

Some people have even started paying attention to when the ticket sales will start.

Apple TV's variety shows are good, but tickets are incredibly scarce. Only Brother-in-law Duo has ten available. I just saw it's been shared for over 50,000 times. A one in five thousand chance of getting a ticket. Better to grab a ticket.

The group leader's words triggered a wave of heartache. Many new fans wanted to directly express their support and love for him.

Not to mention that as their fans, it was just one song in the show, and a few minutes of cuts were not enough to watch. If it were a concert, I would have spent a whole night with them.

It makes me scared just thinking about it. I almost missed the concert just now.
