Chapter 78 Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
"I'll issue a statement."
Gu Yi also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately picked up his phone, opened Weibo, and posted an update.
"We are very sorry! This event was registered as a small-scale live stream and is not qualified to be open to a large audience. The current crowd outside the venue is too large, posing a safety risk. We advise everyone to leave as soon as possible!"
Lin Zhixia and the others felt somewhat embarrassed looking at the chaotic scene outside. They hadn't expected that their casual post would attract such a large crowd of onlookers, and they wouldn't dare to post anything so carelessly again.
Gu Yi could tell they were nervous.
But you can't scold them; you can only soothe them gently.
"It's alright, it's not your fault. Tonight's situation was unexpected because it happened next to the main venue of Weibo Night. But remember to wait until it's over before posting in the future if you encounter this kind of situation."
"We understand!" A group of fans nodded.
After resolving this matter, Li Xiang finally remembered the brand issue.
"LV deleted their official Weibo account that claimed responsibility for your outfit, clearly indicating they're siding with Chris. What are your thoughts on that?"
"Then let's just find another company. We can't work for nothing."
Gu Yi didn't hesitate at all.
"What brand do you want to wear? I'll make the arrangements right away."
Li Xiang was very serious.
This time, LV really embarrassed them.
Of course, if other brands are awesome, then I'll just do it.
But for Gu Yi...
This is a very hurtful thing.
The clothes were originally borrowed for future collaboration, but the Weibo post announcing the borrowing was suddenly deleted, implying that the artist might pose a risk.
Gu Yi considered for two seconds before stating his request.
"Find menswear brands under the same group as LV, prioritizing those with no negative public opinion and a clean reputation."
Li Xiang blurted it out instantly.
"Then it's only Celine. Their menswear designs fit our body types well, but I'm curious, why did you choose a brand from the same group?"
Gu Yi explained with a smile.
"I just want to disgust him. If I wear Celine and sales increase, people within the group will naturally question LV's decision-making."
Li Xiang nodded somewhat reluctantly.
"But Celine's sales figures are very low."
"I didn't say I was endorsing anything, I was just borrowing the clothes."
"Okay, but I don't have Celine's contact information, and the time is too tight; there's simply no time to go through the usual procedures."
"Ask Tencent and Weibo for help."
Gu Yi became emotional.
"They initiated tonight's live stream, and the crowds outside also stemmed from the live stream; they have to help manage it."
Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and if they don't cry, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the future.
"Understood, I'll go and communicate right away."
Li Xiang immediately nodded and went to make the arrangements.
Tencent's team also knew that tonight's live stream was going to be very popular, so they quickly contacted the brand.
Upon hearing this, Celine's official team cooperated efficiently throughout the process.
In just over ten minutes,
A brand new men's outfit was swiftly delivered to M Space.
Before long, Gu Yi changed into a black plaid suit with an exquisite narrow tie, exuding a refined yet restrained tension, perfectly embodying the quality of a dark gentleman.
Gu Yi looked in the mirror and instantly recognized the outfit. Wasn't this the suit Bo Zi wore at the Nanjing concert for "The Untamed"?
Li Xiang praised it highly.
"This outfit is also very nice, both stylish and high-quality."
Su Xiaoxiao immediately arranged for a photographer to take pictures.
"Brother Yi, I'm going to shoot some footage and post it on Weibo."
"OK!!!"
Filming completed.
Gu Yi selected a few photos,
The studio editor quickly posted on Weibo.
"Thanks to Celine for providing the outfit for tonight's live stream. The fit is perfect, the fabric is very comfortable, and I love the style."
At the same time as the copy was released,
They proactively tagged Celine's official Weibo account.
The key is to openly and clearly state the brand sponsorship.
The official Weibo account of Celine saw the post instantly and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately reposted Gu Yi's Weibo post and actively commented and interacted with him.
"Thank you Gu Yi for choosing Silin, and we are also very happy to provide clothing support for this live broadcast."
This year, Celine is focusing its efforts on the menswear market and urgently needs high-profile celebrities to expand its reach and attract new customers. Gu Yi's performance of "Breaking the Cocoon" tonight has gone viral online, providing him with free exposure as a top star.
For Celine,
This is a rare and excellent promotional opportunity.
As for the reputation of LV, a member of the same group, it is utterly insignificant compared to boosting the sales of its own menswear and enhancing brand awareness.

At the same time, Deng Ziqi, Mao Mao, and the monk, who had already left the venue, were ordering food in a private room.
Deng Ziqi's assistant suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Sis, our fan site admin said in the group chat that the people gathered outside M Space tonight are people from Chris's fan site admin's team."
Deng Ziqi turned to look at her assistant.
Are you sure?
The assistant hesitated for a moment.
"It's highly likely that these fan site admins make money from celebrity merchandise. Unless the celebrity goes out of business, they're unlikely to be replaced."
The monk smiled to himself.
"Looks like they're up to something, but Gu Yi's path is the same as the four returning sons, so it's normal for them to do this."
"It seems there's more to the story than meets the eye that LV withdrew its claim to his property!"
Deng Ziqi immediately took out her phone.
"I happen to owe him a favor, so I have to remind him."
"You're absolutely amazing!"
Mao Mao looked at the group and was speechless.
Deng Ziqi quickly sent the message to Gu Yi. As for whether the message was accurate or not, that was not her concern.
Gu Yi, who was arranging songs in front of his computer, saw the notification message sent by Deng Ziqi.
He then handed his phone to Li Xiang, who was standing next to him.
What do you think?
Li Xiang became even more determined after reading the message.
"Then I don't need to feel guilty anymore."
Whether or not to investigate is no longer important; artists and their agents are bound together in a symbiotic relationship.
Once Gu Yi's reputation collapses, capital will rush to avoid risks, and then high-end endorsements, film and television resources, and mainstream stages will all fall into his hands.
Finding another top-tier artist with such talent, popularity, and ability would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
This won't do!!!
Moreover, the competition among artists in the Chinese entertainment industry is fierce. It is rumored that when Li Bingbing went abroad to film, it was a scheme orchestrated by other top actresses to prevent her from taking resources in China.
the other side,
In the villa where Claes was,
He watched as Gu Yi stabilized the situation, the fans dispersed, and even Silin lent him some clothes.
"CNN!"
He violently slammed the tablet to the ground, then took a pill, turned around, went into the room, and pounced on the dazed girl.

22 PM
The live stream has officially started.
The number of viewers quickly surpassed 500 million.
And it continues to surge. Weibo staff were stunned when they saw the curve data in the backend; it was simply outrageous.
The reason is simple: the Weibo Night event had just ended, and viewers who were still watching the gala immediately switched to Weibo.
At this time, a large number of professional LOL players and streamers on platforms such as Douyu and Maoya were watching Gu Yi's live stream.
"Watch the live broadcast?"
"Isn't this ridiculous!"
