Press Conference



Press Conference

The Aurora version of "Breaking Dimension" has a very strong staying power. The live video of the fan club broke through one million views in ten minutes and broke through ten million views in two hours, breaking the record of the fastest live video of a domestic idol to break through ten million views.

The official version released by the official blog has even become a popular platform on major video websites.

The data on each platform are quite impressive, and the original song "Breaking Dimension" once again topped the hot song list this week.

Unlike the first stage of "Super Idol", this time it was a thorough positive outing. There was almost no criticism in the comment section, and no haters questioned Aurora for riding on the popularity.

Even Mao Hei, who used to be the loudest, can only be as quiet as a chicken in the face of this wave of popularity.

——Isn’t it quiet?

Recalling when the first stage of "Super Idol" was just aired, many cat haters, with the mentality of "disgusting cat fans", followed the trend and promoted Yi Jingchen as a three-dimensional cat, and even organized groups to vote for him, and their efforts made fans cry.

What's the result?

As a result, thanks to the efforts of Mao Chu, Yi Jingchen's votes increased significantly.

To exaggerate a bit, if it weren't for Mao Hei's efforts, Yi Jingchen, that little loser, might have been eliminated in the first round.

Mao Hei was very proud of this, and went to the cat fans' territory to show off his achievements, trying hard to make his presence felt.

They even threatened to send Yi Jingchen to debut and let him perform on the same stage with the fame-seeking "Cat God" to prove that he is just a photo-cheating person who lives under high-resolution and filters, and cannot compare to Yi Jingchen's pure natural face.

And then...

As the schedule of "Super Idol" becomes more and more intense, Mao Hei's voting pressure becomes greater and greater. Not only does he need to stay up late and work hard, he even has to mobilize the people around him.

Even so, many Maohe fans still did not give up. They imagined how sad Maohe fans would be after Yi Jingchen made his debut, and they had more energy to continue to push the charts.

It wasn’t until the Chinese New Year that they came across Maodian’s ten-minute long video.

After watching the video, Mao Hei’s worldview collapsed!

——Are we working so hard to be slaves for the people we hate the most?!

From that day on, many cat fans realized the true meaning of life and changed their ways and stopped criticizing Yi Jingchen.

Some cats are stubborn and determined to continue to be black. However, after this experience, no matter how hard they try, they are more or less lacking confidence.

You know, in order to keep Yi Jingchen's ranking, they not only voted, but also mobilized and canvassed for votes in various ways. They are even more loyal than his die-hard fans.

The next round of voting opened, and many cats came back in despair and rejoined the voting.

no way.

I'm used to voting.

This is probably what it feels like to go from a hater to a fan.

Since then, Maohei, which originally had a strong presence, has been severely damaged, and now only a few of them are still alive.

If the cat chef really paid attention to them, he would find that these cat henchmen understood Yi Jingchen even better than the cat chef did.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out which side was the cat chef.

In a world without Xiao Heizi, "Breaking Dimension" was really popular for nearly half a month.

Even in the original position, the ID is written as 'cat'.

Anyone with a keen business sense has already realized that Yi Jingchen is really famous.

The young idol, who debuted less than half a year ago, already has works, popularity, and achievements.

It is hard to expect the future star journey to be anything but brilliant.

Sure enough, a few days after the first show of Zoo Overture ended, a person recognized by the industry as the real melon owner released the melon.

Netizens who surf the Internet frequently know that the more genuine the gossip owner is, the more subtle the gossip will be.

It has to be made like Morse code, so that netizens can decipher it themselves.

The real melon owner only posted two emoticons, a cat and a mobile phone, hinting that a newly debuted idol is about to take on new business.

Without mentioning any names, clever netizens decoded it immediately.

[Is Yi Jingchen going to endorse a mobile phone? 】

[My dear melon master, your clues this time are too easy to guess]

[Hahahaha! Idiot Xiaochen has eaten so many melons, have you ever thought that one day you will be exposed as a melon?]

[Are you sure it's Yi Jingchen? How long has he been in the industry?]

[Fans have already started to lick their lips. What happened to the agreement that we won’t meet again without an official announcement? 】

[Don’t be sour above, Yi Jingchen’s Weibo account has been changed to a new model that has not yet been released]

[Sorry to make you laugh, my cat is like this, can’t hide it at all~]

The business endorsement has just been finalized, and even though it has not been officially announced, everyone has already sensed the next move from various clues.

The brand did not continue to hide the news. Although it could not be officially announced before the time, it also liked several of Yi Jingchen’s Weibo posts, indirectly proving the authenticity of the endorsement.

Yi Jingchen's fans received the signal, understood what he meant, and immediately began to study the functions, advantages, and cost-effectiveness of the new model.

For modern people, mobile phones are absolutely necessary.

Even if I have only used my phone for a few months, every time there is a new phone launch conference, I still can't help but take a look at the latest technology that "changes the industry landscape."

The bigwigs in charge of the press conference are the ones who are at the forefront of the times and are the most capable of fooling people.

Often, people will feel that the mobile phone they just bought should be replaced, and then they will place an order without hesitation.

What's more, Yi Jingchen is also present at this press conference.

When their idols finally get a business deal, fans can no longer resist the urge to be leeks and are just waiting to be harvested by the capitalists' machetes.

Not only can you get a new phone with cutting-edge technology, but you can also support your idol. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!

Before the press conference began, Yi Jingchen, who was promoted to the spokesperson for the new model, first came to the brand branch to meet with the bigwigs who were going to hold the press conference in advance.

The agent repeatedly told Yi Jingchen that at this press conference, he only needed to keep smiling and present the image of a qualified spokesperson.

But even if you are just a vase on the stage, you have to be on the same stage with the big boss, so prior communication is essential.

Out of courtesy, Yi Jingchen arrived at the meeting room ten minutes early.

He had just sat down when the big boss, who got the news, immediately entered the conference room from another direction, followed by several elite teams that influenced the industry's landscape.

"Hello, Mr. Yi." The boss extended his hand and took the initiative to greet Yi Jingchen.

"Hello~ Just call me Xiao Yi." Yi Jingchen immediately stood up, clasped his hands together, and lowered his body.

For ordinary people, celebrities are definitely winners in life and belong to the upper class.

But to real capital, he is just an actor with a clear price tag and can be manipulated at will.

Yi Jingchen was in a position of being controlled, so he naturally had to behave a little more politely in front of the financial sponsor who gave him money.

[Wow! As expected of a boss who started his own business, he has such a strong aura!]

[If I choose to start a business, will I be as strong as him?]

Yi Jingchen glanced at his boss and the leadership team behind him, and silently put away his unrealistic ideas.

[Forget it.]

[I can be weak, but I can't be bald!]

The big boss tried hard to keep a smile on his face, but his expression was on the verge of losing control.

This cat pretends to be polite, but its inner thoughts are so outrageous.

Behind them, several leaders with Mediterranean hairstyles felt offended at the same time.

"Long time no see." The big boss said gracefully, "I didn't expect to meet you again in this way."

"?" Yi Jingchen raised his eyebrows, but did not ask the tactless question "Have we met before?" Instead, he answered perfunctorily while trying hard to recall in his mind.

Finally, from the cracks in his memory, he recalled that he had once attended a business summit as a reporter.

He knew nothing about the financial field and he went in to join in the fun purely with the mindset of broadening his horizons. He did not ask many questions throughout the whole process and naturally did not ask any questions to this big boss.

The two people had never met each other from beginning to end, but the boss actually still remembered him.

Yi Jingchen was somewhat flattered and asked in surprise, "Has your memory always been so good?"

"No." The boss denied, "Because you are special, I just glanced at you and remembered it."

In that place full of capitalists, including financial industry reporters, everyone had their own ideas.

Only Yi Jingchen was so clear that he seemed not to belong to that world, and he was never contaminated by their worldliness.

Not only him, I believe many people at that summit were impressed by this kid.

The big boss thought that Yi Jingchen was young at that time, so he behaved extremely cleanly.

When we met again, he jumped into a big melting pot that was as chaotic as the business world, but he still remained spotless.

The boss seemed to understand.

He possesses a powerful spiritual world, which enables him to preserve his will and keep it from being tainted by anything.

"Is that so?" Yi Jingchen: Perfunctory.

[Is 'You are special' some new domineering quote?]

[But he doesn't look interested in me either.]

Should I say thank you?

While Yi Jingchen was daydreaming, the boss had already changed the subject and reached out his hand to the secretary next to him.

The secretary was very capable and immediately handed over a mobile phone box.

The phone box is different from the brand's usual black and white color scheme and is instead pink in theme, which happens to be Yi Jingchen's support color.

"It's a pleasure to work with you. This is a gift specially customized for you by our brand."

Yi Jingchen said the "thank you" that he had been holding back, and took the phone box. "Can I open it?"

Seeing his expectant look, the big boss nodded. Not only did he not think Yi Jingchen was impolite, he also thought that his genuine reaction made the person who gave the gift feel particularly accomplished.

Yi Jingchen opened the mobile phone box, which contained a new mobile phone that would be released today, but it was different from the sample Yi Jingchen had received before.

It has a colorful pink shell with the initials of Yi Jingchen's name printed on the side of the shell.

The camera looks like two distant eyes with cute cat ears painted on it, and a breathing light flashes when it is turned on.

Yi Jingchen looked carefully and found that the cat ears and his own name were not a layer of shell on the outside of the phone, but a deliberate change in the production and assembly process.

"So cute!" Yi Jingchen played with the phone in surprise, "Is this the only phone in the world? I will cherish it and will never break or lose it!"

After saying that, Yi Jingchen secretly said "not good".

[A cat’s life is full of flags.]

[After I say that, I'm afraid my phone will be lost tomorrow.]

“It doesn’t matter. Our brand has strong after-sales service and can provide you with free warranty. As for losing it…” The boss thought about it and couldn’t think of a solution.

The secretary reached out again and handed him a child-proof anti-lost lanyard that could be hung around his neck.

Yi Jingchen: ???

He blinked in confusion.

If I remember correctly, I am already 21 years old this year.

How can you hang your cell phone around your neck like a primary school student?

childish!

"I can refuse..."

The secretary shook the children's lanyard and said, "This one is plush and can be used as a cat toy."

"Thank you!" A certain stupid silver tabby took it in a second.

.

The brand new machine launch conference begins.

The audience watching this live broadcast were mostly brand fans, digital bloggers, technology geeks, and spies sent by the rival to spy on the enemy. The atmosphere of the barrage was very different from what Yi Jingchen was familiar with.

Before the live broadcast started, the audience had already argued, compared the advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign mobile phones, and speculated on what technological innovations this conference would bring.

Many viewers don’t even know that the meeting will also officially announce the new spokesperson.

Seeing Yi Jingchen's name floating in the barrage, some viewers curiously asked whether the company had poached another technical expert from somewhere.

The fans who arrived at the live broadcast room on time felt the strong home field suppression and weakly explained that Yi Jingchen was the spokesperson for the new model.

It is obvious that no one cares about who the spokesperson is. They ignored this topic and started discussing the pricing of the mobile phone. The guesses ranged from 1999 to 9999, and then to 19999. The more they guessed, the more outrageous it became.

Cat fans tried to join the conversation and liven up the tense atmosphere, posting comments jokingly: Why can't it be 4141? My cat's birthday.

Who would have thought that what I thought was just a casual remark would lead to a round of ridicule.

[Is your cat amazing? He has a big face? Why is the price based on his birthday? ]

[I seem to have heard of the name Yi Jingchen, but I don't have much impression of him. Is he very famous? ]

[Not popular, I haven't even watched his TV series. I really don't know why the mobile phone makers have to hire celebrities to endorse their products]

[Either the celebrity's fans have a lot of money, or the celebrity is his illegitimate child]

[Most likely he is an illegitimate child, otherwise I don’t understand why they hired a random person as the spokesperson]

[To be clear, you haven't watched Chenchen's TV series, because he hasn't acted in any. His fans are not that rich, they just emptied out the seven floors of luxury stores. You information cocoons think Yi Jingchen is not popular, I have no objection. But, yes! Yi Jingchen is not the boss's illegitimate son, his family is not that poor]

[Huh? Are the fans crazy? ]

[No, his family is not that poor]

[If my cat really relies on his family to pull in resources, then he is not an airborne spokesperson, but an airborne chairman]

The audience in the live broadcast room, seeing the fans' loud tone, also started to take it seriously, trying to prove to them that the brand's market value this year was enough for their idol to starve and dance for eight lifetimes.

The fan didn't waste any time and directly showed Xiao E's encyclopedia page.

After watching it, the other side quieted down.

——The fans are right.

If the young master had relied on his family connections, he should indeed have been parachuted into the position of CEO.

And, for him, that was like 'starting from the grassroots' or 'being exiled to experience life'.

When the press conference officially started, the audience saw Yi Jingchen, who looked spoiled, next to the big boss, and they didn't dare to curse like they usually did, dissing "Why are celebrities attending press conferences?"

They sincerely felt that Yi Jingchen was willing to condescend to endorse this brand, which was an injustice to the young master.

Yi Jingchen, a cat, had no idea what was going on.

He stood obediently beside his boss, nodding and smiling, pretending to be a very expensive cat.

In the first half of the press conference, several leaders took turns to show off the latest technology and hardware of the new phone.

As a liberal arts student, Yi Jingchen only had a vague understanding of the principles of science and technology.

Judging from the comments and the reactions of the guests, it should be a pretty amazing skill, and he found the right moment to act as a supporting role.

Halfway through the press conference, Yi Jingchen actually saw the shadow of Qi Weiyi in himself.

It’s so easy to make money from announcement fees.

I always feel unworthy of it.

Perhaps noticing Yi Jingchen, who was smiling so hard that his face was about to freeze, the big guys finally ended the lengthy technical introduction session and began the actual demonstration of the new model.

"This time, the presentation will be led by the person next to me, our new brand spokesperson, Yi Jingchen."

"Okay." Yi Jingchen moved to the middle, picked up the phone on the display stand, showed it to the camera from all angles, and asked in a low voice, "How should I show it?"

“Show it the way you normally use your phone,” the boss said with a smile.

He had learned in advance that Yi Jingchen was an internet-addicted teenager who used his mobile phone frequently.

In order to get as close to real users as possible, he did not let Yi Jingchen know in advance and let him show the status of most users.

Yi Jingchen was a reporter after all, so he quickly figured out the boss's purpose and picked up his phone and unlocked it skillfully.

The screen in his hand was projected directly onto the big screen, and everyone saw at the same time that Yi Jingchen opened the app store and skillfully downloaded several apps.

"I like to watch videos on my tablet, read on my e-reader, and watch TV series on my projector. My phone is mainly used for chatting, browsing Weibo, playing games, and taking photos."

While Yi Jingchen was explaining, he took the time to ask, "Is there anyone like me?"

The barrage quickly passed by "Yi Jingchen plays me".

After all, it is a subsidiary of a high-tech company, and the Internet speed is very fast. Within two sentences, the app has been successfully downloaded.

Yi Jingchen first demonstrated how to browse Weibo and forums, then switched to the chat page, opened Rao Han's window, and sent over an emoticon of a cat rubbing its hands with anticipation on its face.

Smart silver gradient: Boss, Caicai, take care of it~

Rao Hanhanhan: Is it my turn again?

Rao Hanhanhan: Go to the account.

Rao Han has become accustomed to playing games with Yi Jingchen without any nonsense.

However, netizens can read Rao Han's forbearance and compromise from these simple words.

A former world champion, he is proficient in every game.

Rao Han is famous in international competitions for his headshots in every shot, seven pentakills in one game, but since he met Yi Jingchen, it seems that anyone can take his head.

Netizens who were on the same server as Rao Han watched helplessly as his once shining, maximum-level account declined in level day by day due to the high failure rate, and it was estimated that it would soon fall to the bottom.

Let’s look back at Yi Jingchen.

There was no sign of being taken away.

A certain stupid cat knows he is a badass, and every time he plays a game, he shamelessly asks the big guys to protect him.

Over time, an unwritten rule has been circulated in the e-sports circle:

The most difficult thing is not to win the world championship, but to win the game with Yi Jingchen.

The battle begins.

With the mentality of "taking someone with him to die with him", Rao Han teamed up several top-level players for Yi Jingchen.

Two of them, who had coached Yi Jingchen before, started to tease him when they saw him, complaining that "this game is bound to be lost."

There was a kid, who was probably fighting against the "biggest player in the competitive world" for the first time, and arrogantly said, "It's not a professional competition, is it that difficult to beat?"

When the game started, he rushed to the front with great force, hoping to shock the opponent a little through a quick break and win the game easily.

But I didn’t know that not long after I rushed out, I heard the notification that my teammate had given away a head.

Looking closely, Yi Jingchen was already dead.

Rao Han reprimanded him, "I asked you to lead the rookies, why are you just rushing by yourself?"

His teammates echoed, "Yes, even if the four of us protect him, we can't protect him. Do you have a sense of collective honor?"

The newcomer asked woodenly, "I just want to know. How did he die?"

"Yeah, how did he die?"

Yi Jingchen replied aggrievedly, "I don't know. I just entered the game and the opponent's ultimate skill hit me in the face."

【Hahahahaha! 】

[It turns out that this phone is really good for playing games. Chenchen actually saw the opponent's ultimate move clearly]

[You are so mean! Don’t I have any dignity? ]

[Fuck! I’ve lived for more than 20 years and I’ve never seen anyone so bad at playing games]

[I remembered him. No wonder his name sounded familiar. One night, I was playing a game with a bunch of big guys. I thought the game was over. But my teammate said that as long as we kill the guy in the middle, it will be easy to win.]

[Boss, let me show you a way. As long as Yi Jingchen uses your phone and wins a game, this phone will definitely sell like hot cakes]

[If Yi Jingchen can beat it, can it still be called a mobile phone? It's called a cheating tool. If I buy it, I can become a world champion]

As everyone was chatting and laughing, Yi Jingchen lost another game and looked up to see the barrage of comments passing by on the screen.

The big guys also saw the comments and found that everyone was setting a flag, saying that no matter what the price was, as long as Yi Jingchen could win a game, they would place an order immediately.

The boss looked at Yi Jingchen's gaming skills and didn't take this remark to heart.

Who would have thought that Yi Jingchen would start to get serious after seeing the comments, "As long as I win the game, you guys will buy it, it's a deal!"

After saying that, without waiting for them to regret, Yi Jingchen opened another game.

A cute special effect appears on the screen, along with the game name with bubbles:

Cat Match 3

The rules of Cat Elimination are very simple, just slide the screen and put three or more cats together to eliminate them.

The levels of the game I just downloaded are relatively simple, equivalent to the level of kindergarten children.

Yi Jingchen finished the game easily, having forgotten his agent's instructions, and raised his cat face proudly.

"I won the fight, you have to keep your word!"

Everyone didn't expect that there would be such an operation, and they were speechless for a moment.

After all, when they set the flag, they did not stipulate that Cat Match 3 would not be considered a game.

Moreover, those who watch the live broadcast of the mobile phone launch conference on time are already interested in the new mobile phone, so it can be regarded as an excuse for their hesitation.

The audience, willing to accept the defeat, took out their wallets and urged the brand to announce the price quickly and then post the link.

The technology and features of the phone had been demonstrated, and the boss did not delay any further, readily announcing the price.

Several previous press conferences, as well as those of competitors, have been criticized by consumers for "prices getting more and more expensive."

Every time the technological innovation is only a little bit, the price will rise to the value of a house.

Therefore, the new mobile phone is made into two versions taking into account the users' purchasing power.

The high-end version continues to be priced at 9999, maintaining the level of a "10,000 yuan phone".

In addition, there is a 'simplified version', which fully meets daily needs in terms of technology, but the appearance materials and high-precision functions have been adjusted, and the price is half the price!

The price of 4299 appeared on the screen, and the boss told everyone sincerely:

"The current selling price is the best price we have secured for everyone after much effort."

"4299, why not just write 4300."

Yi Jingchen, who was standing next to him, started to mumble softly.

[The marketing strategy of '99' is really old-fashioned and practical, and it always makes consumers willing to be fooled. 9999 and 10000 are only 1 apart, but it is also the difference between thousands and tens of thousands.]

[When can the brand be more frank and directly say that it will be sold for 4,300.]

[If we consider consumers, it should be cheaper and have fewer fancy tricks.]

"Anyway, the price of new mobile phones will drop next year, so we might as well do it all at once." Yi Jingchen accidentally said his idea, "Lower the price a little bit more and just use my birthday, it will be more auspicious."

"What's your birthday?" The boss glanced at Yi Jingchen, "What's the date?"

"Ah?" Yi Jingchen answered obediently, "April 1st."

The boss thought about it, glanced at his colleagues in the marketing department, and said "OK".

Three seconds later, the numbers on the screen changed to 4141.

"The price of this phone will drop next year, so let's just give it to everyone in advance."

"Just consider it as a welcome gift to the new spokesperson."

This was probably the first time that netizens had encountered such an operation at a global press conference, and the screen was filled with exclamation marks.

[Who! Who said the price couldn't be 4141! ]

[Yi Jingchen is awesome, and the brand is awesome! Each phone is over a hundred dollars cheaper, so 10,000 phones are worth over a million dollars! ]

[It’s just a marketing trick. They still make money with this price.]

[The brand makes money, I save money, and Yi Jingchen gains the favor of consumers. This is a win-win situation for all three parties! ]

[Indeed, this is the first time I’ve seen a live version of “I’ll get the price down for you”. I thought celebrities didn’t care about such trivial things.]

[Other stars may not care, but Yi Jingchen used to be a poverty alleviation reporter and is particularly concerned about prices]

Yi Jingchen never expected that the brand would actually change the price on the spot just because of his complaints.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it. Even if the company sells 100,000 mobile phones and loses more than 10 million in profit, it is not a big loss for them.

Moreover, the real main series promoted at this press conference is the high-end model priced at 9999, which is the market that the brand wants to capture.

Giving up this little bit of profit can bring more benefits and a larger market, and will also attract more attention to the press conference.

Consumers may make a small profit, but merchants will never lose money.

Yi Jingchen was aware of the conflict of interest, but he still had a good impression of the brand and worked even harder.

When the whole crowd was taking photos, he took the photos with his back to the audience, and then showed off his amazing photo-editing skills in public.

There has always been a legend in the industry.

Maoshen's photo editing skills have reached a superb level.

Every time I see the finished picture, I have no idea where he photoshopped it.

This time we had the opportunity to see the live photo editing. Everyone stared at the photo on his screen, and then watched...

Yi Jingchen opened the photo editing software and carefully and meticulously gave each boss——

Draw a head of thick black hair.

The big guys: "..."

Thank you, this is the volume of hair I have ever dreamed of having.
