After Hyping Myself Up With Narcissistic Marketing

Jiang Huai, with his handsome face, 1.84m height, excellent physique, top-tier professional skills, and genius fan-charming abilities, was a pitiful no-name.

The reason was simple.

Chapter 54: Can this dead company stop being gay?

- Forum·N1NE sells if there is any gay

[HOT·How do you evaluate these two group shows? ]

【1L·Owner】

I really doubt that Jingming gives them two hours of selected courses on boy band selling homosexuality every day... After they formed a group, their sales were even bigger than during the talent show. What’s wrong with you nine?

【2L】

Two episodes of group shows cured my mysophobia. Really everyone is selling things in a mess, I am now an ultimate lover of big stew, can you nine have a big silver party?

【7L】

Little leeks, please remember that if a boy band doesn't sell homosexuality, all the fans will run away! Sell strong and big! Keep up the good work!

【15L】

This American sister is really... My roommates got full marks on the airport heart questionnaire, Huailan, you guys are selling it like you don’t care about my life or death... N1NE, please don’t disband, okay?

【26L】

Start missing N1NE in advance [candle]

【27L】

Let’s reminisce about it after we disband. It doesn’t seem auspicious to talk about it now.

【28L】

Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!

【89L】

After watching it, I felt that the nine people had a really good relationship and there was no heavy burden when they got along with each other. Although the group show didn't have much content, it was still very enjoyable to watch.

【116L】

Besides, the company is quite kind. I feel jealous and relieved to see that they live in such a luxurious apartment right after debuting. I feel that my votes in the previous talent show were not in vain. I hope that they can run the company well in the future. Can I renew the contracts of all members when the contract of Dream expires?

【182L】

Report! The official blog just released a preview of the album!!!

@N1NE official Weibo:

N1NE's debut album will be released on October 11th! Album pre-sale is now open, please see [link] for details

【247L】

After reading the pre-sale details, I came back. The digital album is 15/piece. Each account is limited to 1, but you can give it to someone else and then buy it. There are single covers for physical exclusive group covers.

The group cover is 120/piece, and the configuration includes group CD + group PB + lyrics book + A3 large poster + calendar + 9 single-member small cards for the entire group + 2 random double-member cards + 2 random Polaroid cameras.

Single cover 85/card, single chain opened, the configuration is member-designed CD + single PB + single photo card * 3 + single Polaroid.

【298L】

Jingming Media, you are too good at making money. You opened a single chain to force fans to open the sales volume, and randomly asked the product sister to buy the group cover with a double card. Isn't it okay for me?

【477L】

I asked the customer service, and found out that there are 36 types of double cards and Polaroid cameras in total, and everyone took photos in pairs. I am really impressed... Jingming Media, what's wrong with you? Are you going to keep doing this randomly until the end of time?

Although your group can mix and match, there are only a few popular CPs. I dare not imagine how horrible the price of a double card in the United States will be. Why don't you force the product sister to ban multiple groups?

【584L】

No wonder they gave so much, they were waiting here. On the bright side, the group-sealed single-person cards will definitely be bought by fans, which can lower the average price.

【662L】

Who came up with this lame name for a flower? Now it's really going to turn into a leek. Are you satisfied? Huh?

【689L】

Wake up, you are not becoming a leek now, you were already a leek during the talent show.

【741L】

Chive, chive. Chive honestly.

October 11, 4pm. One hour left until the release of N1NE’s debut album.

"Hello everyone, we are N1NE——!"

Deng Zhenyi entered the live broadcast room on time and was startled by the loud greetings at the beginning. She manually turned down the volume.

The theme of this debut album is Phoenix Nirvana. The originally bare background wall of the dormitory is covered with decorations of various related elements, and everyone's face is painted in the shape of Phoenix feathers.

Jiang Huai had his makeup applied on the right corner of his eye, which was exactly symmetrical with Yu Lan who had her makeup applied on the left corner of his eye behind him.

...Can this dead company please stop being gay?

When she had a heart-pounding dinner with Chu Yuanqing, Deng Zhenyi could still objectively evaluate that Huailan CP was a great help to Jiang Huai. But after being bullied by CP fans several times, she felt a little annoyed.

Although people often say that what else can a boy band do if they don't sell homosexuality, the company has been selling it too blatantly since their debut. The editing of the group variety show is completely intentional to create a chaotic Shura atmosphere within the team. Deng Zhenyi has mixed feelings -

Jiang Huai has a good relationship with other members and the relationship within the team is harmonious, which is of course a good thing; but Jiang Huai is originally the center of the group, and he is the most popular person even without being gay. If he is gay, he will inevitably be taken advantage of by others, which is really frustrating as a die-hard fan of the group.

After all, what can you do if you're unhappy?

It is impossible to stop being a fan. She can only comfort herself that the money spent by CP fans can also be shared by Jiang Huai, and then endure it.

...Forbearance!

"Welcome to the debut album pre-release live broadcast." Captain Wei Xiuyuan said, "I know everyone is anxious to see the upcoming MV release, so I'm here to live broadcast and wait with you all."

Jiang Huai took over the conversation: "I have received a lot of support since my debut, I am really grateful."

"This is our debut album," he held up the album cover in his hand, "Let me show you the specific album configuration..."

The dead company is using the sales champion to do sales again.

The pre-sale of the physical album alone brought in over 40 million in sales, not to mention the almost pure profit from the electronic album. They must be so desperate for money that they even have to promote it before releasing the MV.

Huai fans bought nearly one-third of the total sales in the electronic album pre-sale chain. The fan club even prepared rights protection copy in advance. If the album comes out today and they are not treated well, they will start to curse the company.

Deng Zhenyi sighed, hoping that Jingming Media would not rush to be criticized.

Being the head of the fan club is also quite a headache for her.

In fact, for her, as long as Jiang Huai feels good about it, that's fine. She is not too critical of the treatment, she just hopes that he can sell less gay content.

But it is difficult to satisfy all fans. Among so many people, there will always be some who are dissatisfied. And as long as a few people become dissatisfied, the emotion can quickly spread.

As the person in charge, she must convey the overall opinion, even if it sometimes differs from her own inner thoughts.

Fortunately, N1NE itself has a good team atmosphere. A few people joked around and talked about everything from the funny things that happened during the MV recording to the various TMIs of the debut album. Deng Zhenyi quickly put aside her worries and watched the live broadcast attentively.

At 4:55, the pre-live broadcast was cut off. At 5:00, the MV was released.

She took a deep breath, prayed that she wouldn't have to publish any rights protection documents, and nervously clicked on the MV.

The wings of the fiery phoenix streaked across the sky, and the flames of its tail feathers illuminated the dilapidated ruins below.

In the ruins, dust was gently lifted by the heat wave. The phoenix circled in the air, chirped, and turned into a ray of light, naturally transitioning to the official opening shot.

JAC stands out in the center of the circular formation.

This time the makeup is very bold. A cluster of red is dyed in his short black hair, which blends perfectly with the vitality around him like a jumping flame. There is also a sharp red eyeliner at the end of his eyes.

After he finished singing two complete long lines of lyrics, he moved on to the next part of Sheng Mingzhi.

The tempo of the music gradually quickened, and the chorus adopted a classic two-part repetitive structure, given to Jiang Huai and Si Xi respectively.

The drum beats were so strong that they were a bit noisy, but combined with the large-scale dance moves it was very refreshing. The red at the end of the eye gradually expanded, revealing a delicate phoenix tail feather pattern.

After the chorus, the long-lost singing part finally came. Lin Yuanbai and Jian Yuan sang alternately, and then the rap of Ruan Qiao and Shan Tonghe took over.

Yu Lan finally opened her mouth during the bridge part. As the last note fell, a raging fire burned everything out. The nine people performed the final dance break in the firelight. The choreography incorporated a lot of ground breaking elements, and the intensive leg movements showed great explosive power.

When the flames gradually died down, Jiang Huai stood up from the ashes. His clothes changed from white to black, with some traces of burning specially imitated on the corners. The oil paint of the phoenix on his face finally came to life.

The phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes.

Deng Zhenyi closed the MV, and after the shock, only two thoughts remained in her mind:

Good news, you don’t have to send any protection documents.

The bad news is that her treatment is a bit too good. From a rough look, the somatosensory shots account for almost one-third of her photos. She might be fired by other fans.

[Picture][Picture]p1 is the MV shot allocation, p2 is the lyrics allocation.

The songs included in the distribution statistics video [link] will be released later.

【2L】

So fast! Thank you for your hard work!

【3L】

...I was stunned by this pie chart of MV shots. EN1N is a nine-member group, right? In a 4-minute MV, excluding the 15 seconds of Phoenix, how come there are shots of one person that take up nearly 1 minute?

【4L】

Debaters from each team enter the venue in an orderly manner, remember to wear your skin properly.

【5L】

The classic Liu Xing is here to divide the cake. The emperor emeritus talks to others one by one. He is so confident that he doesn't even act.

Chasing someone without any background in your group is simply a punishment from God. They are simply here to carry the sedan chair for the royal family. It would be better for them not to debut.

Go back to the original company or sign with a new company, even if it's a few months later, at least you'll have good treatment. Requesting a tutorial on EN1N's disbandment.

【6L】

It would be better for me to go back to my original company and become obscure quietly than to make a fortune in a talent show during the year and earn all my life salary.

【7L】

6L I'm a little overwhelmed... Can you let me parachute into EN1N to be a strong back? I'd be willing to get scolded online and pelted with eggs offline every day. Can't EN1N give me some money for no reason?

【8L】

I can’t share your money with you for no reason, but I can take your money away from you for no reason.

The performance is similar to that of the physical sense. The part of the Queen Mother's sports student is a bit pitiful, and the King of Lens is far ahead.

【12L】

Actually, I think it's OK...? I saw that 1 fan of the electronic special chain bought almost one-third of it, and the part is actually not very exaggerated. The outrageous proportion of the lens is because he originally stood in the C position, and the lens of several groups can also be considered as 1.

【14L】

Are you serious? The Emperor's part is almost 40 seconds in a three-and-a-half minute song. Isn't that an exaggeration? The Empress' part is only in the single digits. The sports student is really going to cry.

【18L】

There's nothing we can do about the rap role of the gym student, it's so miserable... He only opened his mouth when the song was almost over, and he only sang one sentence.

【20L】

I opened Weibo and found that 35 and two other companies had already issued rights protection notices at the speed of light. I laughed to death. I really suspected that they had prepared the rights protection copy in advance and sent it directly after reading the table.

【21L】

The Queen Mother debuted in fifth place, and the lyrics of these few seconds are really a bit pitiful. They are all of the same generation, the Emperor is first, the Crown Prince is second, and the Queen Mother is second to last, just like she is in the cold palace.

【22L】

How could we forget about our Crown Princess when discussing the Tai generation?

【23L】

The Phoenixes debuted in part 7, and it was unbiased. If everyone was so precise, no one would quarrel.

【28L】

This is what it's like to be a solo trainee without a company. But I think it's more fun this way. Anyway, the money is shared equally among nine people, and you can earn the same amount of money by doing the least work. What's there for fans to be dissatisfied about?

【32L】

If you were the Queen Mother, you would definitely not think so. Who doesn't like to be praised? I saw several fans of the Queen Mother were breaking down and cursing. I guess they are about to start fighting. It's really a cycle of revenge.

"Jingming, don't go too far..."

Sang Hong held the mobile phone in his right hand to answer the call, and looked nonchalantly at the one-hour sales statistics report just submitted by his employees. He seemed to be in a good mood.

She waited until the person on the other side had finally finished venting before she spoke slowly, "So?"

The person on the other end of the phone gnashed his teeth after hearing this. Sang Hong stood up from her desk and said, "N1NE's contract is signed with Jingming, so Jingming will be fully responsible. I won't listen to you even if you say this now, so why not save your energy."

"Don't forget that the contract is only for half a year! After half a year——"

Sang Hong was too lazy to listen any more and hung up the phone directly.

She stretched and rubbed her shoulders and neck, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out for a while. The traffic below was bustling as usual.

Not long after, Sang Hong opened WeChat: [Do you have any intention of acting in the future? ]

The other party responded quickly: [Of course. ]

The six-month contract starts from the debut, which means it will end in April next year.

Sang Hong went to the tea room, made a cup of coffee, and sat back in her seat. She pulled out the annual work plan issued by the company, and then took a look at the expected profit calculation for N1NE's debut album.

More than enough time.

October 14th.

There are no regular weekly performance stages in the domestic entertainment industry. For most idol groups, stage opportunities are limited to various evening parties and music festivals. However, Jingming has extensive experience in operating Les Dieux, and there is a place in the building specifically for recording performances.

There were too many staff members required for recording the stage, so in order to save labor costs, all three stages were recorded at one time.

Each stage performance is recorded three times: one live shot, one official stage performance, and one backup performance. After the performance, a new set of makeup is performed and the same three times are repeated.

They repeated it three times, starting recording at around eight in the morning and finishing it in the afternoon. The members and staff were all exhausted.

"It's so tiring." Ruan Qiao said. They had to give their all every time on stage, and suddenly relaxed after it was over. Several of them were so tired that they didn't want to go back to the dormitory immediately, so they simply lay down in the practice room to rest and go back later.

Jiang Huai hummed: "I'm so tired, but also so happy."

It’s much happier than being a mess in my previous life.

[Can you thank me?] The system asked jokingly, as if taking credit for the work.

[Thank you.] Jiang Huai said, [Thank you for telling me to go home often to see my brother. I didn’t expect that I have been working non-stop for the past month and didn’t even have time to go home.]

[Speaking of this,] the system said happily, [Since Chu Yuanqing no longer has to take leave to take pictures for you, he can finally focus on his work. He is now a big celebrity in the law firm, and I think he will be promoted soon.]

[Can you give me some money if I get promoted? ] Jiang Huai turned over lazily, opened Weibo with the background sound of "Don't even think about 819", and read the comments on the dance relay material released by the company yesterday.

Liu Jing said that today's fans like the liveliness of the performance. The dance relay was not rehearsed in advance, and everyone just randomly danced other people's parts. The scene was very chaotic at one point, and everyone was dancing based on the little memory they had from previous practice. It was incredibly humorous.

In contrast, Jiang Huai, who is proficient in playing Yu Lan's part, looks particularly amazing.

In the hot comments, Mei Dijie was so excited that she even managed to control the comments more than his only fans. Jiang Huai casually clicked on the homepage of a CP fan and took a look.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it, but you’ll be shocked when you do - why are his fans and his CP fans starting a war?
