Chapter 10: The Tenth Melon Fan Management Plan
Xu Qingye leaned over to take a look. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they looked pretty good.
"I didn't expect you could cook."
Xu Qingye praised it, who would have thought that he could eat the meal cooked by the cool and awesome actor Long Aotian in the original novel. This feeling was magical, and it felt good just thinking about it.
"I've never made it before, so I learned by watching videos. I can generally understand it, but the seasonings always say the right amount of salt and sugar, and I'm a little unsure about the right amount."
Shen Que shook his head. He served the last dish, untied his apron and put it aside.
Xu Qingye opened his mouth in surprise. It was not easy to cook to such a level for the first time.
"You have a really strong learning ability."
Xu Qingye gave a thumbs up, picked up a piece of fried meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it. The taste was not bad, just a little bit bland, which did not have much impact.
"We met a little hastily, so I haven't gotten to know you much yet. What's your major? Do you have any hobbies or bad habits? Are you single now? Do you have a bad relationship history? Since you're going to be in this circle, don't hide your past. Tell me about it and I'll get rid of whatever I can."
After dinner, Xu Qingye looked at Chen Que seriously. The entertainment industry is a cannibalistic place. If Chen Que wants to debut, he cannot leave any handle for others. Although according to the original plot, Chen Que kills gods and Buddhas all the way, but he still has to be prepared for the worst. What if his arrival causes the plot to go astray?
"Chen Que, 22 years old, majoring in philosophy. I don't have any bad hobbies, nor do I particularly enjoy anything. When I have nothing else to do, I like to think and relax. I occasionally write poems or short essays about my feelings, which I post on my blog. If you want to understand me, just read my blog. As for love, it's something I haven't considered yet. If I ever get involved in a relationship, I will definitely let you know in a timely manner."
Shen Que recalled that he was actually a rather boring person. He liked to stay in the house the whole day, daydreaming or writing, doing some boring things to kill time.
"Are you a fan of Jiang Boqi? Are there any other artists you like?"
Xu Qingye recalled the scene of their first meeting: the airport late at night, the crowded crowd, and Chen Que bringing gifts to pick up Jiang Boqi.
"I'm not a fan. Last time I went there for someone else."
Shen Que shook his head. He had no knowledge of the entertainment industry, so he couldn't understand the words Xu Qingye said at first.
Of course, I still don’t understand it now.
"Then start studying. I've made a list of movies I think are great. Watch them when you have time. Watch them with the mindset of an actor learning to understand the character's inner thoughts. After watching, you can write down your thoughts. Since we want to break into the industry, our goals should be more ambitious. First, win the domestic Best Actor award, and then win the international Best Actor award!"
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que with shining eyes, his tone was extremely firm, as if he had already seen the scene of Shen Que standing on the stage holding the trophy.
Shen Que didn't know where Xu Qingye got so much confidence from. He knew nothing about acting. Even if he started learning now, he probably wouldn't be able to compare with those professional actors.
"When others paint me a rosy picture, they often mention their background, the resources they can pull in, and the number of TV series and commercials they promise me to film in a year, along with the salary they can earn. They clearly list everything. You paint the biggest picture. What are you relying on?"
"Rely on your looks, your hard work, your talent and good luck. Believe in yourself, you can do it! I can be your most loyal fan."
Xu Qingye looked at Shen Que seriously, then laughed. He felt like a big liar as he said this.
"I'm just kidding. Don't think too far ahead. You've experienced filming before, so don't run away as a supporting actor. I'll find you some video data so you can learn from it. I'll find you an acting teacher later. I'll also take a few photos for you so we can manage your image."
Xu Qingye still had a plan in mind. Shen Que had the aura of a male protagonist. In fact, even if he did nothing, he could still shine in this circle, but he felt that he could speed up the process a little.
Shen Que did not reject Xu Qingye's suggestion. Since he was already here, he must try this road. Xu Qingye was willing to make a plan for him, so he would move forward step by step according to his plan.
Let Shen Que watch TV in the living room, Xu Qingye went into his small studio and started working. After taking Mana's money, he naturally had to solve the problem.
Su Ziyu has too many fans and no one to manage them, so there is always a lot of trouble. The most serious problem before was that Su Ziyu's fans insulted the actress in the same group, which eventually led to Su Ziyu being replaced. Although this matter was suppressed and did not ferment, everyone in the circle knew about it. Su Ziyu also lost a lot of opportunities because of this incident.
Su Ziyu's fans are young and lack some spiritual leaders. The first step Xu Qingye needs to take is to produce a few big fans. With the guidance and restraint of big fans, at least the situation will not get too out of control.
It is actually very simple to stand out in the fan circle. Fans also admire the strong, so rich fans and wealthy women fans are particularly easy to attract their admiration.
In the world he used to live in, some fans took this route, doing all kinds of work to gain fans, and adding new houses with the help of fans.
Those ordinary fans are cut off by the economic companies and then by the big fans.
Xu Qingye was ready to quickly create a few accounts. His method was very simple and crude. He would show off his wealth and tell others directly that he was a rich fan. He would start with a set of four links, forwarding for a chance to win a lottery. Various out-of-print Su Ziyu peripherals, studio visits, cash prizes and the like would all be given away and entered into the lottery. According to his plan, within half a month, he would easily gain a million fans.
Of course, while showing off wealth, one also needs to establish a small persona, such as the daughter of a certain entertainment company, an insider in the circle, etc. In short, when a person goes online, he gives himself an identity. However, Xu Qingye still lacks an overseas model, so he can only be a model under the guise. He still needs someone to appear in public. After all, real-person star chasing makes people feel more reliable.
He could only let Mana deal with this candidate.
Mana is also very proactive and sent the person over in just three days. The other party was a staff member from the publicity department of the agency. According to Xu Qingye's request, Mana found a young, beautiful and expressive person.
The girl who came was called Pinyue. She was a member of the Publicity Department and was usually responsible for some publicity work for Su Ziyu. She had been working there for several years.
Pin Yue asked to participate on her own initiative. She was inspired by Xu Qingye's "Victims Alliance" reversal method, so she wanted to come and learn.
"Sit down. What would you like to drink? We have coffee and milk."
Xu Qingye looked at Pinyue for a few times and was quite satisfied with her. Pinyue was dressed exquisitely and had many luxury goods on her. Her overall temperament was good, and she had the temperament of a rich fan.
In Xu Qingye's plan, Pin Yue does not need to show her face, she only needs to show her hands occasionally, some of her clothes and accessories, etc., to create an atmosphere.
But whether a person is truly rich is hidden in these details. Xu Qingye originally thought of a packaging plan, but now he feels that it is unnecessary to be so complicated. Pinyue's own temperament is enough.
"I'll just drink hot water, no need to bother."
Pin Yue gave a proper smile and looked around. Since they had just moved in, they didn't have many personal belongings and the house looked a little empty.
Xu Qingye invited her into the workshop and talked to her about his plan.
The account is mainly managed by Xu Qingye, and Pinyue only needs to cooperate with some offline appearances and occasional overseas needs.
Xu Qingye spoke in great detail, but what he talked about was things that Pin Yue had never come into contact with, so the two people's opinions were inevitably somewhat conflicting.
"Teacher, you've created this persona of being a fan of wealthy women in the industry. Will your fans really accept it? I don't think so. After all, everyone is a fan of celebrities, and they won't listen to you just because you're rich."
Pinyue imagined it and thought that if it were him, chasing stars would be for his own happiness, so why should he listen to other people's nagging?
"The situation you mentioned does exist, but fans with this kind of thinking don't actually need to be managed. They are very rational and their love for the stars isn't that crazy. They almost never follow the stars offline. They just watch the TV series they star in and listen to the songs they sing.
What I have to manage are the fanatical young fans. They like someone with possessiveness, and regard the artist as their own property. They spend money and time on him and want to get something in return.
But in fact, the artists cannot really give them anything in return. At this moment, an insider fan appears, revealing some half-true and half-false inside information from time to time, and conveying some of the artists' love and concern for them. This undoubtedly brings the two closer together. Such a person becomes their spiritual leader over time. If this person likes the artist as fanatically as they do, they will even regard the other party as a relative.
Since they are relatives, they are naturally willing to listen to some small requests from them.
When Su Ziyu's fans insulted a female actress in her group, if there had been a reasonable and reasonable fan to weigh in, the situation wouldn't have escalated into the unmanageable situation it did. We don't really need fans to obey this big fan, we just need to guide them in a positive direction."
Xu Qingye recalled the various battles between fans and haters in the past. The fighting power of fans was really terrifying. The development of entertainment in this world was relatively slow, and the fan circle culture had not yet fully formed, but there were already signs. It wouldn't be long before the era of traffic would arrive.
Capital is gradually being swept up by traffic, and the terrifying power of fans will be reflected little by little. Unfortunately, these changes are not very positive. From the audience's perspective, the quality of TV dramas has actually been declining since traffic became popular, and the dramas are becoming more and more ugly. He can't feel the so-called big productions and big investments at all.
The development path of this world is actually the same as his original world. He cannot change the development of the times, but he can make some arrangements in advance.
"What you said seems to make sense."
Pin Yue touched his chin and was somewhat convinced.
"Professional fans serve as a link between fans and artists, and once there's a mutual interest, the relationship between the two sides becomes even closer. Once this account becomes established, we can guide fans to do charity work, offline promotions, and so on. As long as we guide them in a positive direction, the previous problems won't be a problem anymore."
Xu Qingye handed the plan to Pinyue. Pinyue was responsible for Su Ziyu's promotion. Many contents required her cooperation. She had to approve Xu Qingye's plan so that the cooperation between the two parties could proceed smoothly.
"Take a look at these first. If you agree with what I say, we can officially start this account."
"I'll give it some serious thought before giving you an answer. I feel like I've learned a lot from talking to you."
Pinyue did not give an immediate answer, but basically agreed with Xu Qingye's idea. In the past, they had always managed fans in a very condescending manner, using the official blog to issue various announcements. Over time, there was a feeling that the company and fans were on opposite sides. Xu Qingye's idea was very unexpected. He actually integrated into the fans and became their leader.
The two chatted happily, and Pinyue invited Xu Qingye to have dinner together. Xu Qingye looked at the time and called Shen Que to join them, but he didn't really let Pinyue treat him.
