Chapter 488: Merchant's Sense of Smell
At this time, Su Chen had already boarded a plane to New York, the United States.
Regarding the operation of domestic video platforms.
Su Chen secretly gave them a thumbs up.
It has to be said that businessmen always have a keen sense of smell.
They saw huge business opportunities in their trip to the ugly country.
Therefore, he was willing to spend a lot of money to purchase the broadcasting rights of the latest episode of "Let's Dance" in which he participated.
But Su Chen believes that their efforts will be rewarded far beyond their imagination.
The ratings of the variety shows that Su Chen participated in in the past have already proved this.
Given his current global popularity and attention, the attention to this episode of "Let's Dance" will certainly not be low.
Su Chen still has this confidence.
…
After more than ten hours of flight.
Su Chen arrived in New York at three o'clock in the afternoon local time.
What surprised Su Chen a little was.
Thousands of fans gathered at the airport to pick him up.
Fortunately, there were specialized personnel from NBC who helped Su Chen avoid the fanatical fans.
Of course, Su Chen was very happy in his heart.
As a Chinese artist, it is very rare to receive such crazy treatment in the Ugly Country.
This is enough to prove that Su Chen's current status is unique among domestic artists.
Lu Lanlan was even more ecstatic.
Along the way, Brother Chen helped her transform from a pheasant into a phoenix and helped her take off.
With the help of the movie "Boonie Bears", Lu Lanlan completely broke away from the mundane world.
Help her transform from a poor student in Northwest China into a popular comic writer.
Completely achieved financial freedom.
To be honest, Su Chen is the god in Lu Lanlan's heart.
At the same time, she also witnessed Su Chen grow from a small star to a world-renowned and influential international superstar.
Now the crazy welcoming of fans from the Ugly Country at the airport is a very obvious proof.
Such a crazy airport pick-up scene is no different from the treatment given to the Ou Mei pop king and queen.
Lu Lanlan was very proud. She filmed this scene and shared it on Weibo through Su Chen's Weibo account.
For a while, Weibo was in an uproar.
"It's our Brother Chen! Apart from Brother Chen, is there any other artist in China who can receive such high honors in Oumei!"
"It has long been established that Brother Chen is a global superstar! It's just that some of the star's die-hard fans are unwilling to admit it!"
"This is also a manifestation of the rising status of the Chinese entertainment industry!"
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for bringing honor to our Chinese entertainment industry!"
“It’s a pity that I couldn’t be there and feel the fantastic atmosphere!”
“…”
Fortunately, after a series of Weibo server collapse accidents, senior management paid great attention to it and has upgraded the server several times in succession.
Therefore, the Weibo server was spared from this fans' riot!
Of course, Su Chen had no intention of paying attention to what was happening on the domestic Internet at this time.
Under the arrangement of NBC staff, he stayed in a high-end five-star hotel near the NBC headquarters building.
After taking a shower.
Su Chen did not engage in any entertainment activities.
Instead, he fell asleep immediately.
Although, this kind of flying is nothing for Su Chen's super strong physique.
However, in order to be in better condition for the performance in the evening, Su Chen still needs to get a good rest first.
This is also the professional ethics that Su Chen has always adhered to.
I can act spontaneously at ordinary times, but when I am working, I will be absolutely decisive.
Wake up.
It was already half past six in the evening.
After a sufficient rest, Su Chen was more energetic at this time.
At this time, it was dinner time.
But Su Chen doesn't need to worry about all this at all.
Lu Lanlan quietly made the bed for Su Chen, ordered dinner, and did all the auxiliary work.
Doing this nanny-like job, Lu Lanlan did not feel any grievance. On the contrary, her heart was full of happiness.
Being able to live with your idol day and night is something many fans would never dream of.
How could Lu Lanlan feel wronged?
Just at this moment.
A dedicated staff member from NBC contacted Su Chen.
Ask him what show he's performing tonight.
Su Chen gave his well-thought-out answer:
"A new song, a solo dance."
Yes, when performing live, Su Chen still prefers to sing new songs.
As for choosing a solo dance? That way, there's no need for rehearsal!
Haha, actually it’s not entirely because of this reason.
The main thing is that the most suitable performance method for the song that Su Chen is going to sing is solo dance.
As for NBC, of course, it can only respect Su Chen's own choice in the end.
However, after receiving such feedback, NBC's senior management was a little worried.
Originally, they hoped that Su Chen could sing the Billboard's winning song "Take Me to Your Heart".
Because of this song, it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Ou Mei.
But since Su Chen insisted on singing the new song, they couldn't force him. Besides, this kind of hype might be even better.
But, Su Chen chose to dance solo?
This made NBC's top executives think more.
Was Su Chen doing this to try to be sneaky and avoid rehearsal?
If this is the case, Su Chen's stage performance may be compromised.
Okay, but that's all.
After all, NBC invited Su Chen mainly to take advantage of Su Chen's popularity and topicality.
As for whether dancing is the best?
It’s not that important actually.
After dinner, seeing that it was still early, Su Chen went out for a walk.
To be honest, this is the first time that Su Chen has come to New York, this international metropolis, in his two lifetimes.
It seems unreasonable not to look around and have some fun.
…
Under the attention of all walks of life.
Time soon came to 9:55 local time in the Ugly Country.
After "Nirvana in Fire" continued to have extremely high ratings, it aired two episodes.
Now it’s time to warm up for “Let’s Dance”.
In fact , logically speaking, this variety show used to be broadcast at 8 o'clock.
But considering that it will clash with Su Chen's TV series "Nirvana in Fire".
Therefore, the schedule had to be adjusted.
This can be considered a wonderful creation.
Su Chen squeezed his own schedule to the back.
However, this is undoubtedly a happy trouble for Su Chen's fans .
"It's unfortunate that we can only watch Let's Dance on so late."
"Oh my god! Does this mean I can watch Brother Chen's performance for three hours straight? I'm so happy!"
"NBC understands me so well! Thumbs up!"
"Okay, I know that Brother Chen's dancing is also very powerful! Now, we can finally see Brother Chen's live performance!"
"You may not know this, but the Ghost Step Dance that is now popular in the streets and alleys of China was originally created by Chen Ge!"
"Brother Chen's live performance is fantastic!"
“…”
At the same time, Ou Mei fans were shocked and looking forward to Su Chen singing a new song on the variety show.
"Wow! Brother Chen is also going to sing a new song on the stage of Let's Dance? That's great!"
"In the past, this was a benefit for Chinese and Asia-Pacific fans. I never thought that now we can also enjoy it."
“I don’t know what kind of songs Brother Chen will bring us? But I believe that Brother Chen will not let us down!”
"Just watch! Brother Chen can always give us an unparalleled performance!"
“…”
Such a scene makes European netizens envious.
Complaints emerged one after another on the local Internet.
"See! Why don't we have a live broadcast of Brother Chen's variety show here!"
"The platform is so short-sighted! They didn't even introduce the broadcasting rights for such a major variety show!"
"In this regard, I feel that our platform is not as good as the Chinese side!"
“This is definitely a huge, huge mistake!”
"Just wait and see, those platforms will regret it! Variety shows featuring Brother Chen will create incredible profits!"
“…”
In fact, senior executives of platforms in various regions are all very conflicted.
It’s not like they haven’t considered obtaining the broadcasting rights for the Let’s Dance show.
But the facts before them are.
There has never been such a precedent on their TV station.
For the sake of a star, add a new program to be broadcast before departure?
This sounds really crazy.
So after weighing the pros and cons, major television media companies ultimately rejected this plan.
But now, looking at the complaints of netizens on the Internet.
They seemed to feel that they might have missed out on hundreds of millions.
Netizens have such a strong desire to watch, if they really broadcast it, they can definitely make a lot of money.
However, by this time, it was too late.
Their program is about to be aired, and you still say you want to purchase the broadcasting rights?
What kind of joke is this?
At this time, Su Chen had already appeared in the exclusive lounge of the "Let's Dance" studio at NBC TV station.
After making the final preparations.
Under the guidance of the on-site staff, Su Chen came to the studio of the variety show.
At this time, Miley, Harry, Ed, and Justin had already taken their seats in the studio.
Seeing Su Chen arriving late, everyone reacted differently.
Justin smiled immediately when he saw Su Chen.
To be honest, since Justin was defeated by Su Chen on the bulletin board, he had been thinking about asking Su Chen for advice. In Justin's eyes, Su Chen was a rare genius.
Being able to appear on the same stage in this variety show can be said to have fulfilled Justin's dream.
Will it be embarrassing?
Didn't someone as powerful as Biangsi still lose to Su Chen?
Therefore, losing to Su Chen on the billboard is not a shameful thing in many ways.
Let’s take a look at the huge frenzy that Su Chen has created around the world at this time.
He is definitely a world-class superstar!
As for why Su Chen was late?
Isn't this obviously a deliberate arrangement by the program crew?
In NBC's view, Su Chen's status can be said to be the highest among the stars present.
Isn't it normal to be the last one to appear?
Otherwise, wouldn't the appearance fee of 10 million dollars be wasted?
"Hello Su Chen!"
Justin stood up and saluted Su Chen.
Su Chen responded immediately:
"Hello Justin! Nice to meet you!"
After being in the entertainment industry for so long, Su Chen is no longer the fat otaku who just started out.
Although Su Chen's original intention has not changed, he has become adept at handling such matters as acting according to occasions and social engagements.
Besides, after all, Justin is also the new generation pop king in Europe and America.
Su Chen will still give the due respect.
Justin took the opportunity to give Su Chen a hug and whispered:
"Your music is great, would you mind giving me some pointers?"
Su Chen was very surprised by Justin's statement.
After all, in the inherent impression, Ou Mei people have always despised Chinese musicians.
Judging from Justin's sincere expression, it didn't seem like he was being sarcastic.
So Su Chen could only say vaguely:
"You're welcome! Your music is great, too."
At this time, several other people also welcomed Su Chen.
"Su Chen, welcome!"
"I finally see you! Su Chen, please take a seat!"
“…”
Although, these three people were not very convinced of Su Chen.
However, for those in the entertainment industry, acting according to the situation is a basic skill, and it is impossible for him to deliberately give Su Chen a bad face in public.
Even if they wanted to, NBC wouldn't agree.
Just look at how much NBC values Suchen and his work.
To put it bluntly, NBC simply treats Su Chen as the God of Wealth!
No matter how dissatisfied they are with Su Chen, do they dare to openly offend NBC's God of Wealth?
"Hi Miley!"
"Ed, nice to meet you!"
“…”
Faced with such a situation, Su Chen responded one by one.
"Su Chen, I heard that your dancing is great. I will definitely ask for your advice when I have a chance."
Of them, Harry was the least able to control his emotions.
Yes, in his opinion, Su Chen’s so-called dances were either some inferior and unsystematic dance steps, such as the ghost step dance, or some unconventional dance moves, such as the performances in the Korean country.
In short, Harry felt that Su Chen was definitely not a real dancer.
The reason why NBC invited Su Chen this time was just to take advantage of Su Chen's popularity, and it had nothing to do with his dancing skills.
Su Chen nodded slightly: "I will accompany you."
Su Chen just laughed off such a blatant challenge.
He is never afraid of challenges from others.
Moreover, this is a dance competition stage, so it is normal for others to want to dance with you.
The director of the program couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.
Fortunately, the show has not officially started airing yet.
I wonder what the audience would think if they saw the guests competing with each other like this.
At this time, as the time is approaching, fans from all over the world are already looking forward to it.
“Why is time so hard!”
"What worries me even more is why the song that Brother Chen will sing has not been announced yet? Is this a surprise for us?"
"They didn't even tell me when Brother Chen would be on stage. It's so infuriating!"
"Are they going to let Brother Chen be the last to appear? If so, I'll come back and watch later!"
“…”
