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?

Chapter 99
"Mysterious Girl has a lot of publicity lately!"
In the mall, two girls who were walking arm in arm looked up at the huge poster of a mysterious girl endorsing cosmetics and couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard they're going to hold a concert soon, so there must be a lot of publicity and promotion."
One of the girls understood why the mysterious girl had appeared so frequently recently, won many endorsements, and her photos were everywhere overnight.
"They're already very popular, and this is their first time overseas, so fans and businesses are all watching. I have a friend who's a fan, and I'm feeling really good lately."
After watching the huge gg screen, the two of them came to the cosmetics brand store endorsed by the mysterious girl while chatting.
Not only was there the giant gg that the mysterious girl had taken for the brand that everyone could see as soon as they entered the mall, but there were also human-shaped standees of the mysterious girl members in the store, as well as various gg stickers and promotional pictures of them.
"They are really beautiful and very popular." At this moment, the song playing in the brand store was the song from the winter mini album released by the mysterious girl at the end of last year, which was also very popular in Country P.
Many people in China already have fans of artists from China, but previously, these were mostly actors and singers who gained fans through their work's popularity in China. There are indeed few foreign groups like Mysterious Girls that have become instant national sensations.
Beautiful, talented, and with personality, Mysterious Girl has far more female fans than male fans.
But because the culture of the Flowering Country had already had a great influence and many of its artists were world-famous, everyone adapted to this new idol group very quickly.
The two have seen many celebrities in shopping malls and on TV, but the mysterious girls really have their own charm. The impact of five beauties of different types standing together is naturally greater.
"I knew they were famous, but before they announced their concert, I didn't realize how many fans I had around me. Their popularity and appeal are truly terrifying."
When a bunch of friends heard Yuexiang Entertainment announce that its first overseas stop would be in China, they posted on social media: "I want to buy tickets!! Let me go see them!"
The girl then realized that the mysterious girl had far more fans than she had originally imagined!
During this period, the increasingly frequent concert promotions of Mysterious Girls and GG endorsements have once again proved their popularity.
The two girls walked into the store, looking at the dazzling array of cosmetics. The conversation turned to the products themselves. "Didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to buy a new lipstick color? Do you have any that you like?"
This cosmetics brand has a good reputation, so they came in to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.
When the girl saw the lipstick shelf, she saw five members using five different shades, and she was quite excited.
The clerk saw two girls pause in front of the lipsticks, staring at the promotional image of the mysterious girl, clearly wanting to buy. He approached them enthusiastically, "These shades are our brand's latest releases, and they're very popular!"
"We've restocked it several times before, and it's the best selling product in the store." The clerk recommended it while observing their expressions.
"A lot of people say that the color is pretty much the same as the ones used by the Mysterious Girl members on GG. It's really beautiful! Are you interested?"
The girl who was planning to buy a new lipstick immediately fell in love with the two lipstick colors worn by Qi Zhi and Lan Leyi. One was domineering and the other was sweet, and both looked very beautiful.
Another girl had no intention of buying it, but after seeing the swatches the clerk gave them, she became tempted.
One of the orange-toned lipsticks made member Tu look particularly energetic, and she was quite satisfied after trying it.
The two looked at each other and bought it!
The two girls carefully looked at the eye shadows, mascaras, highlighters, blushes and other cosmetics. The more they tried, the more addicted they became, and the shopping baskets in their hands became bigger and bigger.
"By the way, I want to ask what brand of clothes the mysterious girl in the poster is wearing?" After finishing shopping, the girl pointed at the poster and asked the clerk.
"Headquarters said that this is a special model U&P prepared for them, and it's not available in the store yet." The clerk answered with a smile, and she felt happy when she saw their shopping baskets.
"Welcome to come again next time."
The two girls who couldn't stop shopping came out with several shopping bags, which also contained postcards of the brands endorsed by the members of Mysterious Girls.
"Although their makeup looks nice, I really like the clothes they are wearing! It's a pity that I can't buy them." The girl complained as they walked.
Although the girls are not fans, they kept holding the postcards when they came out of the store. The more they looked at them, the more they liked the clothes they wore when taking the GG photos.
"Don't you have friends who are their fans? Ask them if they know if the brand is planning to release the same product? Maybe they know." Another girl suggested to her.
The girl thought it made sense, so she took a photo of the postcard and sent it to her friend, who soon got the news.
The brand just replied to customers two days ago saying that the same model is in emergency production and will be available in stores across the country soon.
I heard that they were shopping in the mall, saw GG and bought the cosmetics they endorsed and recommended. My friend on the other end of the phone was also very happy and sent several laughing voice messages.
Then, she quickly received a message from a social media account. This account had quite a few followers, and it contained a collection of the five members' outfits from various occasions since their debut. Many of them were everyday looks, perfectly suited to their age.
The girl's friends immediately leaned over to take a look, commenting and exclaiming, "It's quite nice!"
However, the brands worn by the members of Mysterious Boys are either expensive big brands or brands from foreign countries, which are difficult to buy in their own country.
"Either they are expensive or hard to buy..." The two looked at the brands, models and prices on the outfit pictures with regret. They actually liked many outfits and the prices were quite affordable, but there were no stores in Country P.
Who knew that her fan friend sent another message.
The address of the mysterious girl’s clothing purchasing store!
Their eyes lit up, amazing!
Although the members of Mysterious Girl are still holding concerts in China, the promotion of their overseas concerts and other overseas resources have been launched in various countries.
Like the many GGs and endorsements that the two girls saw, global brands already have many stores around the world, so it is natural for the promotional materials of brand spokespersons to be fully launched online.
There are also cosmetics brands like the ones they bought, which are foreign local brands that have reached cooperation with Yuexiang Entertainment Company. The brand's photography team comes to the Flower Country to shoot or entrusts the photography team to shoot, and the brand determines the final product.
Only for a very small number of top overseas brands with particularly strict requirements will members rush overseas to shoot.
When the mysterious girl finished all her domestic itineraries and boarded a plane to Country P, when she arrived at the airport in Country P, she saw the promotional pictures of their own endorsement GG and the start of their concert as soon as she got off the plane and reached the gate.
"Wow, it's this picture!" Lan Leyi came out and saw the super large promotional picture at a glance, and shouted out directly.
She remembered that they had just taken this series of pictures not long ago, but she didn't expect it to be online in Country P so soon.
Having just finished their domestic tour and rested for two days, they immediately started their overseas tour. The members were still exhausted both mentally and physically.
But when they saw their large GG screens and concert promotions at foreign airports, they suddenly felt a lot more excited and their mood improved.
"I can still work! Give me work again! I want to work!" Fu Ning, who was following behind, hugged Lan Leyi and shouted jokingly.
"Some people's profiles are so beautiful! I'm jealous!" Qi Zhi looked at the posters of five people's profiles and felt that some people's facial features were really too superior!
Knowing that she was being "soured" again, Yan Yun pursed her lips and said, "You said the same thing once before." Qi Zhi pinched her cheek in revenge.
This caused everyone to laugh.
"Okay, the car is waiting outside. Let's go back to the hotel and take a break to check the next schedule and rest. It's time to start the "battle" again!" The agent looked at the members who were still joking and playing, and protected them to get out of the station as soon as possible.
The members also walked out obediently wearing masks and hats and lowering their heads.
Although the company did not disclose their schedule to the public, the members of Mysterious Girl appeared in the international flight waiting room of the domestic airport. Combined with the dates of their overseas concerts, fans and media reporters had a pretty good guess.
Therefore, before the mysterious girl boarded the plane in China, the news had already spread among fans and entertainment reporters in Country P.
When the mysterious girls actually appeared at the airport in Country P, the news of their arrival in Country P immediately made the front page of entertainment news in Country P and China.
Fans in Country P are naturally overjoyed! They've been fans of them for so long, and finally, they're back together!
Moreover, this is their first overseas stop! Fans have heard through various channels that they are not only coming for a concert, but will stay for several days and have a lot of interviews and work schedules for TV and online programs.
This means that they will be under the same sky, breathing the same air, eating the same food, and you will also have the opportunity to see them in person and even interact with them!
Judging from the fact that Yuexiang Entertainment Company previously arranged for artists to learn foreign languages and regularly released various small surprises specifically for overseas fans, this time it will definitely meet the fans' expectations!
After arriving in Country P, the team sent by Yuexiang Entertainment Company started to operate more efficiently with the resources that had been negotiated in advance for the Mysterious Girls Group.
Magazines are printed on the assembly line of the printing factory, stored in the warehouse, and then loaded onto transport trucks in batches and shipped to cities across the country.
On the cover of the magazine are the four big words "Mysterious Girl" and the appearances of the five members.
Inside the GG company, countless people were busy proofreading the final GG images and videos. Workers were putting up billboards advertising the mysterious girl's new endorsements and concerts, which appeared everywhere.
Photos of the mysterious girls appeared in more and more shopping malls and stores, and their songs began to appear more frequently in various places.
On the radio, television, and computers, the five members of Mysterious Girl quickly captured the attention of the people of Country P with their absolutely eye-catching presence.
"Bang!" Xiaoman, a popular artist from Country P, threw a magazine with a mysterious girl on the cover to the ground in his room, his face full of anger.
This period happened to be the promotion period for her new song, but the domestic public's attention was all attracted by the mysterious girl.
Most of the publicity the company invested in her new song was like a pebble thrown into a pond, failing to create any splash.
Seeing that the money was spent and the effort was put in, but no one knew about the song, how could she not be angry?
"These flower-growing artists are really enough. Aren't they strong enough on weekdays? Now they come directly to make money and don't give others any chance to survive. How shameless are they!"
Xiaoman was so angry that she kept cursing. She hated that they had never debuted in P country, but they were so popular and so many brands and media were chasing after them!
"These fans are crazy! Have they never met an artist, a star, or even a concert? Why are they so excited?"
"What a shame, what a shame." Xiaoman was furious when she thought about her agent calling her just now and saying that the company was planning to postpone her promotional schedule.
The agent on the other end of the phone also said directly: "Since there is no effect, there is no need to keep throwing money at it. Let's wait until this period is over."
There's no such thing as talking about the past. It's obvious that they won't give her any further promotion for her new song.
Thinking that fans from Country P were actively promoting the Mysterious Girls and buying publicity for them, and that their group's newly opened local account had over 10 million fans, Xiaoman directly blamed all the faults on the Mysterious Girls, and even more on the fans.
"Where are all my fans? Are they all trash?"
The assistant was cleaning up the mess beside her, picking up the mess she had thrown on the floor, thinking to herself, "Your new song isn't very good to begin with, and it's happening during this difficult time for people. How is it going to make a splash?"
Hearing the artist still scolding the fans for being short-sighted and blind! The assistant could only suppress his anger and lower his head and roll his eyes countless times.
Although she is not a fan of Mysterious Girl, she has watched several programs of Yuexiang Entertainment Company that have been introduced to China.
Not to mention the recent buzz surrounding the mysterious girl. She's truly beautiful, sings beautifully, and dances like a pro. Since her debut, her popularity has skyrocketed, and she's been on an upward trajectory, with no negative news to speak of, save for the previously exposed issue involving Fu Ning's family, which has now been resolved.
Besides, their company is really awesome.
It is certainly important for artists to strive for excellence, but the company behind them is also extremely important. The company's level and ethics can even directly determine the artist's career.
Although Yuexiang Entertainment is a company based in China, it's also quite well-known in Country P. Every artist they produce is incredibly popular, each with their own distinct personality and a strong image. Their variety shows are also incredibly popular in Country P.
It is said that their company has also hired people who are familiar with various languages to translate resources and works for overseas fans and to facilitate logistics. Overseas fans no longer need to entrust private individuals to purchase albums and peripherals, which is safer and less expensive.
Although Mysterious Girls has not really developed in Country P, they have accumulated popularity for more than two years and have been interacting with overseas fans.
Why do you call people who like them stupid?
I think you are the one with a bad brain and can't see yourself clearly. The assistant packed up her things expressionlessly and waited for her to calm down.
She thought about how she had a good impression of Xiaoman before she took this job, but the result completely overturned her imagination.
How did I end up with her!
Just then, Xiaoman's phone rang, and her expression and tone changed instantly.
While admiring the artist's face-changing skills, the assistant couldn't help but think that although she had just praised the artists of the Mysterious Girls Group and Yuexiang Entertainment Company in her heart, could it be that they were actually as hypocritical as Xiaoman?
In the entertainment industry, are there really so many truly shining people?
After a tiring day, the young assistant returned to his rental house. His roommate had already arrived home early and was playing on the computer with his legs crossed.
The assistant had a lot of complaints in her heart, but after all, she had signed a confidentiality agreement. Even if it was her close roommate, she couldn't say anything bad about Xiaoman or say specific things.
She just complained a few times when her roommate asked her why she was so late again tonight, saying that she was very tired and unhappy at work today.
Like her, her roommate also works in the entertainment industry. However, they work for different companies and have different roles. Her roommate has a good education, strong expertise, and connections to support her. Although she often has to work overtime, her life is much better than that of the assistant.
After taking a shower, the assistant glanced at his roommate's computer and found that she was watching the interview program of the mysterious girl that was released today.
"By the way, are these people from Mysterious Girl robots? How did they manage to launch so many resources simultaneously in such a short time?"
Although the young assistant works in the entertainment industry, the work she is exposed to is actually very limited. All she thinks about all day is how to serve this young lady and maintain her image.
When Xiaoman complained about mysterious girls everywhere, she also felt a little curious.
She used to think Xiaoman was too busy and the public didn't see much. Even though the Mysterious Girl was popular, the resources on it could be quickly rolled out, but the number was indeed quite large. How did it come out?
Coincidentally, my roommate knew something about this matter. So I told her that many of the things in Mysterious Girl were filmed internationally by the company and partners in advance, and they were just waiting for them to come and upload them online.
Some of them were given the best treatment possible: they could appear on the show directly, and their performances would be broadcast immediately.
Then, while eating fruit, her roommate told her some industry news he had heard.
Most of the responses in the industry are that the artists and team of Yuexiang Entertainment are very efficient and of high quality.
Their team arrived a month early and completed many of the necessary pre-negotiations and finalizations. They aligned the requirements of both parties and clarified the artists in advance. Once they arrived at the venue, they assembled the team according to the agreement and produced the finished product without any further delays.
The artists and the team are very professional in being punctual, keeping promises, and doing their homework in advance.
The team from Yuexiang Entertainment also shared a lot of experiences and practices from their own country, and the final results were very good.
Although it was indeed difficult to negotiate with them before, now everyone in the industry who works with them praises them.
In just one week, word of mouth directly swept countless companies in the industry.
Even though the assistant knew his roommate worked at a well-informed company, he noticed: "Are you also working with Yuexiang Entertainment?"
The roommate made a gesture to shut up: "It's not a secret, but don't tell."
The assistant immediately sealed his mouth, then couldn't help but say, "Go on, go on."
"What else do you want to know?" asked my roommate while browsing the computer.
Anyway, she doesn't know anything confidential.
"Is there any negative news about them?" Thinking of the several artists whose images he had witnessed being shattered, the young assistant couldn't help but ask again.
"You know, even though they appear to be very good, I really don't trust what celebrities show to the outside world anymore."
Her roommate had lived with her for a long time, and even though she didn't say many things, she understood what she meant.
"It was too short a time, and I've never dealt with them."
"Some people also say that they are particularly picky, troublesome, too flashy, and all kinds of..." The roommate paused.
"But I think most people are just sour grapes."
Then, while fiddling with the mouse, she said, "Since you're so out of touch with the news, let me reveal some news that many people in the industry already know."
"Yuexiang Entertainment is really ambitious. Their boss has come here in person. It's definitely not just for the Mysterious Girl concert. There are all kinds of rumors, but I'm not sure."
"Currently, the most common rumor is that they are planning to set up an office here and look for a partner to handle their company affairs."
"After a while, they say they'll be selecting trainees in Country P. Some will stay here to become local artists, and some will be brought back to Country P."
After listening to her long speech, the assistant felt much better.
He couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that the person in power is only a few years older than us. How amazing!"
My roommate also sighed. "I heard there's a saying in the flower-growing country: 'Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.' That's probably it."
"When I have the chance to personally meet people from their company, I'll tell you my true feelings! Let's see if they are really that amazing!"
Thinking about the company's basically finalized cooperation with Yuexiang Entertainment Company, my roommate was a little excited.
The young assistant nodded, also looking forward to it.
I hope they won’t be disappointed.
The strategic cooperation agreement that Su Yin personally went to Country P to sign was also officially finalized on this day.
Country P's largest record company and second-largest media company have officially signed an agreement with Joyful Entertainment. They will each be responsible for the management and sales of records, music sources, and merchandise for Joyful Entertainment's artists in Country P.
Future concerts, fan meetings and other activities will also be handled by this company.
Yuexiang Entertainment will also cooperate with them in the discovery and training of artists in Country P.
The address of Yuexiang Entertainment's office in Country P has been determined, and Yuexiang Entertainment's staff will be stationed there soon.
“I wish our cooperation goes smoothly!”
This strategic cooperation agreement covers many businesses in the entertainment industry. It not only involves the existing artists, works and products of Yuexiang Entertainment Company, but also is related to the future development of the idol industry in Country P.
Not only did Su Yin attend in person, but the president of the other company also attended the signing ceremony in person.
The two sides shook hands in a friendly manner. Su Yin looked at him confidently and firmly: "I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."
"This isn't just a collaboration between our companies and the idol industry, but also an exchange between Flower Country and Country P, and a joint venture for the future."
The two sides politely loosened their grip and Su Yin looked at the president of the other company. "Country P's cultural industry is very well developed, and it also has a relatively mature market environment and talent pool."
"Our two countries share many commonalities in culture, philosophy, and development processes, and Country P is my first choice for taking my first step outside China."
"We are very happy to share all the technologies and experiences that Yuexiang Entertainment has accumulated in the development of the industry."
"We are willing to be the leader and work together to seek better development."
The smile on the other person's face naturally became even bigger.
Back at the hotel, Su Yin looked at the strategic cooperation agreement that had officially come into effect.
She must conquer the overseas market, but now she must rely on local forces to truly and smoothly enter their domestic market.
The Flower-Growing Country emphasizes keeping a low profile, embracing all possibilities, and uniting all forces that can be united, ultimately achieving the most satisfactory results.
