Not long after, Gu Mo appeared wearing a black baseball cap and a black mask.
It was like a disguise to cover up the truth when it appeared in front of a Hongxing direct store.
As the spokesperson for Hongxing, he heard songs from his new album upon entering the store.
Under normal circumstances, playing music in a shop's business premises constitutes disseminating the work to the public. If this is not authorized, it infringes upon the copyright owner's performance rights and other related rights.
After all, playing music in shops is usually to create a shopping atmosphere, attract customers and promote consumption, with commercial profit purposes, and is an indirect commercial use behavior for profit.
This kind of public broadcasting goes beyond the scope of fair use for personal study, research, etc. As long as the public can hear it, it constitutes a public performance of the musical work.
However, when Hongxing signed the global spokesperson contract with Gu Mo, they also signed an additional music licensing contract.
In other words, Hongxing’s official live broadcast room, direct stores, and Hongxing’s brand live broadcast rooms can all play Gu Mo’s songs to attract viewers and customers.
This directly-operated store happened to be playing the recently popular song "Where is the Happiness We Promised?"
"Time passes, it goes, and love faces a choice. You grow cold, tired, and I cry.
You wrote on the card about your unhappiness when you left, "Some love can only be given this far, it really hurts."
While playing this song.
In the video, Cheng Jiaojiao happened to point the camera at Gu Mo.
It seems like he wants to see how his boss reacts.
However, the next moment, a young girl walked up to Gu Mo and looked up at him.
At this moment, the chorus was playing on the store's speakers.
"What's wrong? Are you tired? Where's the happiness you promised me? I understand. I won't say anymore. Love has faded and dreams have become distant.
Happy and unhappy, count them one by one, you are reluctant to let go. Those feelings of love are too deep, I still remember them.
You didn't wait any longer. Where's the happiness you promised me? I was wrong. My tears have dried. I let go and regret it.
It’s just the music box of memories, still spinning, how can I stop it…”
When entering the interlude of the song.
The girl seemed to have thought of something, and excitedly pointed at the disguised Gu Mo and shouted, "Brother Gu, is that you?"
Before Gu Mo could respond, she couldn't help but scream, "Ahhh! I finally see you in person. Can you sign an autograph for me and take a photo with me?"
It seemed that she had already made up her mind.
The man in front of me wearing a black baseball cap and a mask is Gu Mo!
But the problem was that when she called out like that, the customers who were shopping and the busy clerks all turned their eyes in Gu Mo's direction.
Gu Mo wanted to put his fingers in front of his mouth and make a 'hush' gesture, but it was too late.
But he tried his best to make amends: "Okay, but please stay calm, and everyone else, okay?"
After saying this, he simply took off his disguised mask and baseball cap, revealing his true face.
With a warm smile, he waved to the other customers and shop assistants who gathered around him.
"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Mo.
Sorry to interrupt your shopping experience and work." If Gu Mo wants to create a people-friendly image, he can't be arrogant.
If there is someone in the store whom you don’t know or don’t like, it’s always better to be humble and polite.
Next, Gu Mo cooperated with fans, passers-by and store clerks to shoot videos, take photos and sign autographs.
In fact, there were actually a few people at the scene who were not fans of Gu Mo. However, they were very enthusiastic about Gu Mo out of the desire to take photos with the star, get autographs, and collect stamps.
Of course, they also received positive feedback from Gu Mo.
During this process, Cheng Jiaojiao, who was shooting videos with a sports camera, asked everyone if they were willing to appear in the video. If they were not willing, the video would be blurred or edited out.
Without exception, all are willing to appear on camera.
This is equivalent to being on TV, so why not do it?
Not long after, Gu Mo put on his camouflage mask and baseball cap again and left the Hongxing store.
Later, the store became a new internet celebrity check-in spot. Many passers-by, internet celebrities and fans eagerly hoped to run into Gu Mo again one day.
…
Next, Gu Mo and Cheng Jiaojiao walked on the crowded streets of Shanghai.
The driver and bodyguard followed behind from a distance.
As it was getting dark, some pedestrians were curious about who the man wearing a black mask and a baseball cap was, but did not pursue the matter further.
After all, at this stage, there are countless people on the road holding cameras to record videos or live broadcasts.
There are also many internet celebrities who wear strange clothes and dress in weird ways.
"Brother Gu, listen, it seems like someone is singing your song in front." Cheng Jiaojiao pointed to a square in front where a group of spectators were gathered.
It's like listening to a 'street performer' or internet celebrity singing Gu Mo's songs.
If an internet celebrity sings Gu Mo's songs live and someone gives them gifts, it would be considered an infringement. However, in real life, basically no author would file a copyright lawsuit unless the impact caused by the anchor is extremely bad.
"Write down my Li Sao, every second feels like an eternity.
Even if the whole world is kidnapped by loneliness, I will not run away..."
Gu Mo nodded: "She's singing 'Little Love Song'."
Then he added, "Let's go and show some support."
After the song was finished, the street performer said to the crowd: "Hello everyone, I am the B station UP host Lao Chuose Jinmaojiang. According to the fans' request, I am singing Teacher Gu's song here.
And next, I’m going to sing one of his six-word songs…”
As a UP host, he deliberately kept the story in suspense.
