The questions that Fang Zhao had answered during the interview had indeed caused quite a stir, especially in the gaming circles.
For the gaming circles, this person who had once dominated the leaderboards with his absolute strength was actually no longer a professional gamer. There were sighs and there were also those who were secretly delighted.
There were also people discussing his military service, as well as the "golden competition dog" that had appeared in the program.
Some people felt that during Fang Zhao's interview, the appearance of the "golden competition dog" that had stolen the limelight, was deliberately arranged to create hype, to attract more viewers, and to create more topics of discussion.
"How crafty, using this interview to hype up that dog that was chased out of Muzhou!"
"That dog of his is nothing after leaving Muzhou. Of course, he has to get rid of it as soon as possible. If he sells it now, there will be rich Muzhou farm owners willing to pay a high price for it, but in the future, as the dog gets older, its competition ability will decline, and its value will depreciate."
"What a joke. If Fang Zhao wanted to sell the dog, he would have sold it long ago. Why drag it out until now? Still trying to hype it up? Are you stupid for saying this? "
"Fang Zhao, that dog, took the initiative to force Muzhou to change its rules. Saying that 'chasing it out' was inappropriate."
"Even if he did not hype up that dog, who knows, his motive might be that hybrid extraterrestrial sea slug."
"Whether it is hype or not, we will know in a few days. If he really wants to hype it up, there will surely be follow-up news. Fang Zhao will also reveal his intention to trade. If he does not have that intention, then you guys are just making wild guesses. "
"Hahaha, my focus is different from yours. I thought I was the only one. Never would I have thought that there would be quite a few people like me! As for those people saying that he is hype it up, let me send you an emoji [Beat them all to death]! "
The [Beat them all to death] emoji at the end of that sentence was a snippet of Fang Zhao's from the program.
Someone had taken the beginning of the program when Fang Zhao had been asked about the terrorist attacks and ferocious beasts at the base. He had replied with two sentences and made them into a chat emoji with voice.
One was "Beat them to death," and the other was "Beat them all to death."
For example, when that netizen had sent out the [Beat them all to death] emoji, everyone had heard Fang Zhao's reply, which was 30% domineering and 70% murderous: "Beat them all to death!"
Fans loved to turn videos of their idols into these kinds of emojis. They could not wait to use them for more people to see.
Usually, when commercial interests were not directly involved, they would not pursue responsibility.
When the others saw it, they also felt that it was interesting and immediately collected it.
Soon, this emoticon was seen in all kinds of discussion forums, especially in the gaming area. It was like a virus, spreading at an extremely fast speed.
"Have you finished your homework? If you're not done, you're going to play games! [Kill them all] "
…
"Tsk! Someone stole our aid bag. Brothers, follow me and kill them! [Kill them all] "
…
"We're taking this place! Who dares to come! [Kill them all] "
…
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Another wave of monsters! [Kill them all] "
…
Even if they couldn't see the image, just hearing the voice was enough to automatically replay the expression on Fang Zhao's face when he said those words.
Fang Zhao had just come out of his study when he received Zu Wen's call.
"Boss, did you know that your interview video has been turned into an emoji pack?!" Zu Wen exclaimed agitatedly.
Fang Zhao was taken aback. "Expression pack?"
"Really, I'll send it to you!"
Zu Wen sent Fang Zhao the two most widely used emojis [Kill them all] and [Kill them all], as well as screenshots of online discussions and a few entertainment news articles about this incident.
One of the entertainment news articles in the gaming circles analyzed the reason why Fang Zhao's two emojis had gone viral.
If it had been any other celebrity, it would not have been like this, but in the gaming circles, Fang Zhao had once dominated the top spot on the individual leaderboards. In particular, a few of his gaming videos that were considered classics were often brought up for discussion.
Fang Zhao's position in the hearts of many gamers was different. According to some gamers, every time they sent out an emoji of Fang Zhao, it was as if they had received a boost from his imposing aura.
Fang Zhao was a little flabbergasted. Everyone had turned his awkward silence into an emoji pack, but the serious interview that followed had not been cut.
However, Fang Zhao felt that it was rather novel when he saw the emojis created by netizens. Since it had not caused any serious negative effects, Fang Zhao only smiled after seeing it and did not intend to pursue the matter.
"Oh right, Boss, the publicity for your concert has already begun. Our department has also been allocated some tickets. When the time comes, we will be there to support you! "Zu Wen said.
Technicians like them rarely attended live concerts, especially those at music halls. They always felt that it was too pretentious, and the tickets were expensive. Even if they were interested, they could only watch the recordings online after the concert. That was much cheaper.
Zu Wen had checked the ticket prices for "Golden Age" music halls. Two years ago, they would not have been able to afford the cheapest ticket. Although they could afford it now, they were no longer in the mood. This time, because it was Fang Zhao's concert, even if the company did not give them tickets, they would buy their own tickets to support.
After ending the call with Zu Wen, Fang Zhao went online to check. Indeed, the direction of the internet had changed. Clearly, the publicity team had made a move to direct everyone's attention to the concert.
Even though Fang Zhao had quite a number of fans, the number of people willing to buy concert tickets might not be that many. For example, there were quite a number of people in the gaming and military circles who had no interest in concerts, and people who were interested in music might not necessarily spend money to buy tickets.
Now, the publicity team was trying to attract even more attention to the concert. Regardless of whether it was a concert, film, TV series, or gaming, publicity was very important.
Advertising spots, guiding public opinion, and the gaming team under Silver Wing's banner had also put in some effort.
"Yanzhou's Golden Age music hall? If I didn't check, I wouldn't have known. This kind of music hall tickets are too expensive! "
"Let's buy online tickets. They are cheap."
"How is online tickets cheap? They cost a few hundred dollars! "
"Compared to a live ticket, it is much cheaper. After all, it is one of Yanzhou's three big music halls. The sound quality is good."
"Forget it. I might as well buy some gaming equipment with this bit of money. It will last me for a long time."
Concerts at music halls were divided into live tickets and online tickets. Live tickets were priced according to the seating location, and the price varied.
Online tickets were similar to a live broadcast. The music hall transmitted the signal at the same time, allowing people not in the venue to enjoy the concert at the same time. However, for a music hall at the level of "Golden Age," online tickets were also limited in order to guarantee excellent sound quality.
Generally speaking, there would not be enough seats for a concert by a non-world-renowned musician, and online tickets were even more empty. Unlike the concerts of singers, this kind of concert was not within the scope of public acceptance. For people like Zu Wen, at most, they would suddenly have a sudden interest in the future and search for a video to watch.
However, Fang Zhao was an exception. This person's leap was too big!
The publicity team also took advantage of the fact that the popularity had not yet died down and hurriedly promoted it. If there were originally only 100 people interested in buying tickets, after the publicity campaign, perhaps 200 or even 300 people would buy.
Looking at it this way, the cost was too high. Whether it was the publicity fees, the fees to apply for music hall tickets, or internal tickets, it added up to quite a lot. As a commercial company, Silver Wing naturally invested so much in order to get a bigger return.
Concerts at music halls were not just a step for composers to build up their experience, but also a platform for composers to showcase their works. More people could hear them and it was an opportunity to sell their publishing rights at a high price.
Selling copyrights, this was Silver Wing's ultimate goal!
As the vice president of Yanzhou Music Association, Ming Cang naturally had tickets sent out by Silver Wing. People like him, who had high statuses in the music industry, would send tickets every time someone performed at a music hall. As for whether they went or not, the decision was up to them.
This time, after Ming Cang received the tickets, he even asked Silver Wing to reserve two more tickets for him. He would personally pay for them and bring his wife and son to attend Fang Zhao's concert.
After several days of continuous publicity, the day of presale finally arrived.
Fang Zhao had applied for Golden Age's concert hall number one. Hall number one had 2,000 seats. Other than the 500 seats that Silver Wing had purchased internally, there were still 1,500 seats left for sale.
Inside the virtual projects department on the 50th floor of Silver Wing Tower.
Today, no one had anything else to do except watch the concert ticket sales. Although it was not their concert, they were even more nervous than Fang Zhao.
"Hurry up and take a look. How many tickets have been sold?"
"More than 600. Other than the 500 reserved internally, more than 100 tickets have been sold."
"That's still too little."
"Quite a lot. This is just the beginning. Besides, these kinds of concerts usually don't sell that many tickets."
"It's only April now. The official concert will start in August. By then, as long as we can exceed 1,500 tickets, it will be fine. The venue will look pretty full," Pang Pusong said. He was the only one in the department who had attended a live concert.
Before he had signed with Silver Wing, Pang Pusong had wanted to attend a concert at a famous music hall, but back then, he had been short on cash. Now that he had more money in his bank account and had attended a few concerts, he had a better understanding of those places.
Even if the venue did not reach 1,500 people by August, Silver Wing would spend more money to buy more seats to make the venue more "plentiful."
"Why don't we buy a few tickets too?" a newcomer in the virtual projects department suggested.
But his voice was not loud, and he lacked confidence. Since he had just signed a contract, money was tight, but looking at the crowd, he felt like he had to stick close to the team. Otherwise, he would feel ostracized. Also, this was a good opportunity to bootlick. This was Fang Zhao, the boss of the virtual projects department.
All the core members of the gaming team could attend. The core members of the virtual projects department had also been allocated internal tickets. However, the newcomers who had signed later did not receive the same treatment. They did not receive tickets from Silver Wing. They were not qualified enough.
Zu Wen slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot. You guys don't have to buy tickets. The boss said that if you want to go, he will reimburse you. You guys want to go? "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Even if they were not interested in the concert, they would not pass up such a good opportunity.
Zu Wen sent a headcount to Fang Zhao. Although the department had a few new hires, the total number was less than 20.
