Arriving in a parallel world where idols are in decline,
With no connections, no resources, and not much capital,
Want to open an entertainment company and create idol stars?
It a...
Before Su Yin arrived in this world, television stations and video platforms already had a long history of producing variety shows. Su Yin, in particular, led Yuexiang Entertainment to rapidly elevate the quality of its own variety shows. The increasing popularity of these shows and the immense audience attention also attracted a growing number of production teams, entertainment companies, and platforms to join the variety show production ranks.
While there are already numerous variety shows on the market, many idol groups have participated in some of these popular and others less popular shows. Many idol groups have also increased their popularity and fan base through their outstanding appearances and performances on variety shows, allowing more ordinary audiences to get to know them.
But looking at the variety show content currently on the market, there is no variety show that is completely centered around idol artists.
Indeed, variety shows in this world haven't yet achieved such a diverse and specialized level of variety. Currently, the most popular variety shows are indoor game-themed variety shows, such as Yuexiang Entertainment's "Who's the Yu-Gi-Oh?" and the still-popular national variety show "Adventures of Continuous Forward." These tests primarily test the guests' physical fitness, emotional intelligence, and IQ.
This type of non-professional gaming variety show does not require any specialization. Whether it is an idol artist, actor, singer, comedian, or even people from any industry, as long as they have a sense of humor, variety sense, and personal characteristics, there will be almost no obvious difference due to the guests' profession.
On a two-hour show, most guests barely have a few minutes to showcase themselves. Even if viewers do like these idols, it's mostly just for their looks, style, and individual personalities. Even then, even the chance to appear on a variety show is fiercely contested by the crowds.
Because, you have no right to think so much, and there are very few opportunities to attract fans for your looks, personality, and increase your popularity.
Especially when an idol group has a large number of members, each person will have even fewer opportunities.
The music program spearheaded by Su Yin was the first of its kind, which is why it attracted the attention of so many companies and platforms that handle idol artists. It also successfully received olive branches from a number of companies on behalf of their artists, creating a huge stir in the entire idol circle.
This time, Su Yin plans to do more than just an idol singing variety show. She also has a new variety show with game segments, interviews and interactions specifically for idol artists.
To boost the program's influence and allow more fans to get to know the idols, Yuexiang Entertainment simply bundled the music show with this new idol-specific variety show. The music show airs at 6:00 PM on Saturdays, while a separate idol-specific indoor variety show featuring games and interviews airs at 6:00 PM on weekends to build an audience.
This idol-specific variety show is named "Hello, Idol!"
Not only are both programs specifically designed for idols, but the cast is also identical. After appearing on the music show, idol groups will appear again on the same week's "Hello, Idol!" program, serving as further promotion for the groups and giving the idols more opportunities to showcase their talents.
Over the course of a weekend, fans will not only be able to watch their idols perform on music shows, but will also be able to learn more about the idols' backstage stories and further developments and presentations on the next episode of "Hello, Idol!"
It sounds like it is just a game variety show, but this show is different from ordinary variety shows. The game segment in the middle is completely centered around the profession of idols, revealing and showcasing idols in all aspects.
For this show, Su Yin borrowed settings from several idol variety shows that were very popular in her original world, and finally came up with her own understanding of idols and the different idol and fan environments.
Compared to typical variety shows, the idol members are given more time to introduce themselves. This includes, but is not limited to, the group's origins, debut stories, and each member's upbringing and training experiences. Taking into account the individual members' individual characteristics, the program also allows members to showcase their uniqueness during their self-introductions, including special hobbies, skills, and unique or impressive accomplishments, to enhance their impressions.
Games and interactive sessions will also be designed for music shows, focusing on dancing skills, singing level, as well as the idol members' stage learning ability, familiarity with their own songs and dances, and other content.
For ordinary audiences, such a variety show that revolves entirely around idols may discourage them directly. However, for fans and people who are interested in them, this is definitely a carnival that is unique to them and cannot be better.
After all, it is a variety show produced by Yuexiang Entertainment, and one of the performers in the first episode is also a group from Yuexiang Entertainment. Naturally, the first guest invited to the first episode of "Hello, Idol" is the mysterious girl.
Because of the advance notice, fans of Mysterious Girl were already waiting in front of their TVs and computers before the show even started.
The studio was smaller than they'd initially imagined, but the atmosphere felt cozy. Because the space wasn't particularly large, the host and members were closer, chatting and talking like friends. As the mysterious girl described her past as a trainee, the introductory company boss remarked that she was terrible at naming, and that it was unfair for her artists to debut under these names.
Captain Qi Zhi even mimicked the moment their manager informed them of the tentative group name, "Mysterious Girls," and the five members' faces flashed with "What the hell?" However, Fu Ning then revealed that after learning the name was finalized, the five of them met with Sister Yin, who then extolled the meaning of the group name. The original members all beamed, declaring it a perfect name and "we absolutely must have it," a twist that had fans laughing.
Many fans watched the show while chatting with other sisters in real time in groups and forums: "Originally, I thought they had told all their debut stories after so many appearances on the show! But it turns out they always save a secret for the next show! You are so good, Yuexiang Entertainment!"
Although they are already a very well-known girl group, new fans are still very interested in learning more about their past stories.
Old fans are familiar with the story of the mysterious girl group's formation, but Yuexiang Entertainment is really cunning. They always let the members miss some small details and psychological processes when answering, and then suddenly come up with new revelations next time, even though the answers are similar, which makes old fans watch with relish.
Next, the five members’ special individual skills showcased, causing countless fans to exclaim: “Ahhhhh, every time I see Fu Ning’s skills, I feel so amazing!”
And all kinds of complaints appeared in fan groups, forums, and barrages: "Aren't you busy with training? Why did you learn new weird skills, Bei Pingan!"
Yan Yun, you are a beauty! Please stop showing off your skills immediately!
The subsequent dance imitating the Moonlight Boys group also made many fans exclaim: "What a magical arrangement!"
"Their dance as a senior group is so beautiful! They're so handsome!"
"We've already thought of the dance style for your next album! It's going to be awesome!"
Even after learning about this segment, many Moonlight Boys fans began to collectively @ the program team and Yuexiang Entertainment: "Please let Moonlight Boys also dance the dance of the junior sister group next time! We want to see it too!"
No matter they are new fans, old fans or ordinary audiences who are a little interested in this program, they all feel that such a short program is a feast for the eyes and it also satisfies their desire to know more about their idols!
Once the first episode was aired, although the ratings and click-through rates could not be compared with those of Yuexiang Entertainment's previous programs, its reputation among fans was indeed off the charts.
Fans of other idol groups also @ their own companies: "Please! Let them/them go to this show! We want to watch it!"
That day, Su Yin finished her work and glanced at her phone. She received a text message from the courier, reminding her that her package had been put into the express locker and she should pick it up in time.
She didn't seem to have bought anything online during this period, and no one contacted her to say they would send her anything.
Furthermore, it was sent to her home address. Normally, work-related items are sent to the company. Apart from the items she bought herself, the number of packages sent to her home was very small.
Su Yin didn't check who sent it. She looked at the time and saw that she was about to get off work, so she decided to go back and see what was going on.
Holding the package, the express note on the package clearly read:
Sender: Brief description.
Sender’s address: XX Road, X Town, X County, X City, E Province.
Su Yin took it home and unwrapped the package. Inside, it was tightly wrapped in plastic foam for protection. Inside was two music CDs and a distinctive cloth handbag that looked like it was hand-sewn.
In the middle of the bag, Su Yin also found a postcard.
The front of the postcard is a picture of the local scenery of County X, and the other side of the postcard is a string of handwritten pen words.
Ms. Su:
Hello, sending this postcard may seem a bit presumptuous. We haven't seen each other in over six months, and I've had a very warm and happy New Year. I've also traveled to many new places I've never been to before, gaining many unique experiences and sights, which has left me feeling particularly satisfied and delighted. I wonder if you've also gained something exciting and joyful over the past six months?
I'm sorry to say that I've thought about what kind of return gift to give you several times, but I didn't send it until today.
I'm currently traveling in Town X, Province E, and while passing by a music store, I stumbled upon a CD I'd once listened to and loved, but unfortunately, it's now out of print. I suddenly wanted to share it with you. Coincidentally, a singer friend of mine recently released a song and sent it to me, so I'm sharing it with you.
I hope I can give you some free time to enjoy music during your busy work.
p.s. I think this cloth handbag is very beautiful, and I hope you like it.
Wish you good health!

As Su Yin read the words on the postcard, a brief description suddenly surfaced in her mind. She even imagined various scenes: the other person's surprise when they found this CD in the music store; the smile of satisfaction when they saw the canvas handbag; the scene of them carefully writing a postcard to share their feelings, even the handwriting seemed particularly gentle...
Su Yin has a particularly good memory, especially for people. This talent seems to be innate, and it has come in handy in her later work.
As an idol agent and the person in charge of an idol management company, Su Yin not only knows how to remember people but also how to judge them. This should also be a basic professional ability that many entertainment industry workers and those responsible for selecting artists have.
Su Yin is no stranger to imagining her artist's performance, whether it will be suitable, and the corresponding stage style, just by looking at the lyrics and sheet music of a song. She also imagines her artist's appearance in the clothing and sample models provided by magazines and advertising agencies.
However, when the scenes described in brief suddenly appeared in her mind, Su Yin's mood suddenly became a little strange, but she couldn't explain exactly what she felt.
It seems like it has been a long time since I thought about someone's voice, appearance and smile from a perspective other than work.
It seems like it has been a long, long time since I received a handwritten postcard like this one that is full of personal style and flavor, and it has also been a long, long time since I met someone who simply wants to share experiences and hobbies with her.
Su Yin, who often has to judge artists' appearance, temperament, personality and dress at the first moment out of professional habit, had a basic impression when she saw Jian Shu for the first time: Jian Shu was good-looking and seemed quite polite.
Su Yin could even tell at a glance that the man was between 1.83 and 1.86 meters tall, well-proportioned, not particularly thin or bulky, and a very good clothes hanger. Among ordinary people, or those working behind the scenes, such a figure, appearance, and temperament would be considered first-rate.
Even when Su Yin first met him, he opened the door for her at home and helped her get the scarf. He looked very clean and fresh in his home clothes. The decoration of his home and his attire from head to toe matched his gentle and elegant temperament very well, even showing a lot of taste.
Therefore, when Su Yin knocked on the door, she was quite surprised. She had not expected the other party to be so good-looking and to be so polite and gentlemanly in his dealings with others.
However, at that time, Su Yin was only thinking about getting closer to the other party at work, so she didn't take it to heart after being surprised.
As someone who works in both the entertainment and idol circles, Su Yin is accustomed to the many handsome men and beautiful women in her work environment. She rarely marvels at the appearances or the "godlike looks." Su Yin isn't someone who only cares about appearances. Although Jian Shu has looks comparable to those of an artist, she doesn't have any particular feelings towards him. For over six months, Su Yin honestly hasn't thought about him much. The occasional thought is a fleeting thought when a creator mentions a related profession at work.
Today, she suddenly received such a package. Although she knew that the other party was giving her a gift in return for the music CDs she had given her before as "greeting gifts", and that this was exactly Su Yin's purpose more than half a year ago.
But the right time has passed, and what was expected at that time has become unexpected today. Su Yin's desire to make friends with this creator has become more casual after half a year of settling down, which makes her feel a little strange and uncomfortable.
It was hard to describe her feelings, and Su Yin stopped thinking about it. Carefully unpacking the other person's things and putting them away, Su Yin picked up a disc from the two and put it into the disc player to play.
No matter what, Su Yin was still very grateful that the other party was so thoughtful.
Originally, she had thought of writing a simple handwritten letter in return, but she was worried that by the time she sent the letter, the address the other party no longer used would no longer be available. So she planned to listen to both CDs the other party had sent her, write down her recent situation and feelings, and then give them to him when he returned.
Su Yin originally thought that the music discs she received this time would most likely contain some ethnic music or other less popular music.
The result was unexpected. If the cover hadn't looked very old and the description hadn't said it was an old work he had listened to a long time ago, Su Yin wouldn't even have been able to tell it was so old.
It was a band music with some rock style, free, unrestrained and with a hint of warmth, the emotions were sincere and strong, and it totally hit Su Yin's liking!
As Su Yin listened, she couldn't help but search the band's name on her phone. She discovered that even after all these years, people still occasionally mentioned them online. However, the band seemed to have disappeared after only two or three years, with no subsequent releases.
Another night where I fell asleep listening to music.
This year has been a bonanza for YueXiang Entertainment. Both debut groups have experienced varying degrees of growth, further solidifying their popularity and status. Beyond launching new programs and experimenting with artists, the company has provided a boost to all idol groups with the power of YueXiang Entertainment, further strengthening and bolstering the overall idol market.
Many even believe this year marks another turning point for Yuexiang Entertainment. Starting this year, Yuexiang Entertainment has essentially established a set of operating models within the idol industry, establishing rules for the industry with Yuexiang Entertainment at the forefront, which have been widely recognized.
Looking ahead to the next few years, the two programs that Yuexiang Entertainment has put a lot of effort into will be of historic significance and will truly bring Yuexiang Entertainment to the top.
Now, although Yuexiang Entertainment has more and more work to do, it has all been put on the right track.
Yuexiang Entertainment's several variety shows already have a solid team in place for long-term recording and production. Mysterious Girl's new album has been a huge success, and they have a variety of follow-up activities lined up. Moonlight Boys are also rushing through post-production on their album. They need to take advantage of the precious summer break, as two members are about to enter their senior year of high school, and some time in the first half of the year to release the album, promote it, hold a fan meeting, and race against time to complete important business tasks and communicate with fans.
In the company, everyone is very busy and fulfilled, and they are particularly motivated to work.
Su Yin slowed down for once.
In this world, she has accomplished all kinds of things she never thought of, broken record after record, and has become an indispensable figure in the idol industry in this world. It can be said that most of her dreams have been realized in the past few years, which is incredible.
Today, Yuexiang Entertainment Company is developing better and better, and the idol industry in this world is also moving towards a better and better path.
Just when everyone in the company was planning to continue making great efforts, Su Yin decided to take a vacation.
All company affairs should be handled according to assigned responsibilities and run as usual. If you have any questions, just call or email Su Yin. The specific duration of the vacation has not yet been determined, but it won't be too long, but it probably won't be too short either.
When Su Yin suddenly said she wanted to take a vacation, many people in the company were completely caught off guard and could even be said to be in disbelief.
Those who had followed Su Yin all along the way knew that in the five years since Yuexiang Entertainment was founded, Su Yin had hardly given herself any vacation time. Every day of the year was a workday.
Even before, when an acute infectious disease broke out in City A, Su Yin still maintained her daily work at home and opened new fields and live broadcast companies. Although Su Yin is no longer the main executor, she has handed it over to others to manage in the form of dividends.
Many people in the company had privately discussed how strong Su Yin was and what a workaholic she was. However, it was precisely because of her relentless work year after year that Joyful Entertainment had rapidly risen to prominence in just a few years.
If we have to point out any shortcomings or areas for improvement of Su Yin as the person in charge of Yuexiang Entertainment, which is now considered a major company in the entertainment industry.
Maybe it's because her desire for control is really strong. Even though the company has developed to this point, Su Yin is still used to taking charge of many things herself.
When some competitors in the industry maliciously talk about her behind her back, they usually use her gender, superior appearance, tough style and workaholic attitude as topics of conversation.
But what cannot be denied is that if Su Yin had not always grasped the general direction of Yuexiang Entertainment's development, made several important decisions that allowed Yuexiang Entertainment to stand out and expand rapidly, and provided support and encouragement to everyone in Yuexiang Entertainment, such a young team within Yuexiang Entertainment would not have been able to create so many miracles, and Yuexiang Entertainment would not have come this far.
Although everyone in the company knew that Su Yin was very tired, they were used to having Su Yin lead and take charge of everything.
Therefore, no one expected Su Yin to suddenly say that she wanted to take a vacation of an indeterminate length of time. This was really not in line with her style.
This idea suddenly came to Su Yin.
In the eyes of people inside and outside the company, Yuexiang Entertainment has done almost everything that can be done in the idol industry.
Not to mention the next few years, or even the next decade or so, many people in the industry have commented that as long as Yuexiang Entertainment continues to follow its current model, it is a foregone conclusion that it will become a giant in the entire entertainment industry, or even the absolute overlord of the idol industry.
There are more and more high-quality trainees in Yuexiang Entertainment Company. They just need to launch new boy groups and girl groups in about four to five years and continue the model of Moonlight Boy Group and Mysterious Girl.
During the company's regular meeting of senior management two days ago, Su Yin suddenly realized that everyone in the company actually thought the same way. When she returned home in the evening, Su Yin was rarely confused.
A group of senior executives in the conference room happily talked about Yuexiang Entertainment's current achievements and its development path for the next decade or so. It's not that they don't want to make progress, but they really have done so much in the past five years.
The changes in the idol industry brought about by Su Yin have exceeded the combined development of the previous decades. Doing these things will allow Yuexiang Entertainment to smoothly prepare for the next five or even ten years.
Slowly eating up all the benefits gained through hard work over the past few years.
Su Yin originally had various plans for next year, the year after, and the next five years. She wanted to form a group with more diverse styles.
Some people want to form a band-type idol group, some want to form a completely traditional Chinese style idol group, some want to create a super charming individual idol, and some even can't wait to hold an idol audition and have a national idol selection event.
If it were in the past, she would definitely put forward the plan early, and if someone objected, she would persuade them, or even make the decision directly against all objections.
During these five years, she not only gained an improvement in her work vision and abilities, but her mindset also gradually changed.
Today, Yuexiang Entertainment is no longer just her property, nor is it just a product created to fulfill Xi Yue’s dream of becoming an idol.
The bigger the company, the more cautious she must be with every step she takes. She must consider the interests of the company as well as the interests of all employees and artist trainees.
Su Yin also understood that, as everyone said, Yuexiang Entertainment only needed to continue with its current model. Was it really necessary to make so many attempts?
The giant idol companies that Xi Yue had to look up to in the past had a similar model, and all she had to do was accumulate slowly.
Wouldn't hosting another talent show create competition for their existing artists, disrupting the idol market, which had finally begun to trend positively, and making the industry unpredictable and fickle? Would creating so many different idols lead to failure, or even make fans think that Yuexiang Entertainment was a scattershot company, lacking its own unique style, giving other companies an opportunity to catch up?
Su Yin, who always appeared indestructible and fearless, hesitated for the first time.
She could have directly expressed these inner doubts to the higher-ups and discussed them together, but honestly, she didn't want to.
She didn't want others to see a Su Yin that wasn't as strong as she used to be, and she didn't want everyone to become hesitant and confused about the future of Yuexiang Entertainment.
At night, when Su Yin was listening to the rock band's music alone at home, she suddenly had an urge to leave the company temporarily.
This was a thought she had never had in any world before, and it was indeed unlike her.
Although she still loves her job and her career, she suddenly wants to slow down, take a walk, look at the world, and think about her own heart.
It's really funny to say that after coming to a new world, Su Yin only goes out for work, and every time she goes out, she has no intention of looking around.
She might really need to take some time off to think about what kind of company she wants from Yuexiang Entertainment.
After listening to the lead singer Shouter's understanding and feelings about life, Su Yin directly sent a message to the senior management that she wanted to take a short vacation.
Let’s choose the place where this band was born!
She always looks so rational, as if she is no longer the girl who would do anything to pursue her dreams.
I hope that when she returns, she can figure out how to go on for herself and for Yuexiang Entertainment.
I also hope that this time will not be too long, otherwise she will still be unable to help but go back to work.
