Chapter 100 The 100th Melon Glory Poster Wall
The post posted by Cao Muan clearly recorded how he was guided step by step to spend money after joining the group. Cao Muan also recorded his and other people's voting data and made a table to compare with the actual number of votes received.
At the beginning, Cao Muan did not have specific voting data. In order to get more data, she spent a lot of money and successfully became an administrator to help with the statistics, and only then did she see part of it.
Although it is only a part, it is enough to expose many problems.
Among the various data exposed by Cao Muan, the behind-the-scenes footage from various surveillance camera angles became the focus of everyone's attention.
Are the students aware of these so-called behind-the-scenes footage? Are they secretly filmed? Do they infringe on the students' privacy?
Fans angrily besieged the official Weibo of Strawberry TV. This was obviously a mistake made by their producers. The leak of surveillance footage was a very serious matter. Judging from the exposed footage, the trainees should not have known about it.
Because Xu Qingye had given them a warning, Strawberry TV already had a contingency plan. When Xu Qingye contacted them, they had already found the culprit in the first place. Taking secret photos, tampering with tickets, illegally raising funds, and making money from fans are already very serious acts.
Strawberry TV directly called the police and promised to deal with the matter seriously, give the audience an explanation, refund the deceived fans, and compensate the students who were secretly photographed.
Strawberry TV acted quickly this time, quickly checking the voting system and canceling the abnormal votes. Fans who knew they had been deceived immediately started another round of re-voting.
In just half a day, the trainees' rankings changed drastically.
"Jiang Yihao's ranking has moved up, so he shouldn't be eliminated."
Cao Muan has been keeping an eye on the changes in the rankings. Jiang Yihao, who was originally at the bottom, has risen a lot in the rankings, while Wenger, who was ranked fifth, has directly dropped out of the debut ranking to the end.
"All the money we invested should be used to support Wenger, right? Is he really a relative? They use illegal means to help him. It seems that the people who help him are not very capable, and their main purpose is to make money. Is it really because they like Wenger that they voted for him?"
Cao Muan looked at the rankings, feeling a little confused. When he was watching the show, he felt that Wenger's appearance in the front row was very abrupt. His strength was much worse than that of others, and he had no special features to attract the audience.
"Maybe I just really like him."
Xu Qingye didn't know much about Wenger and didn't want to study him any further. He looked at the time, closed his computer, stretched his body, and prepared to go downstairs to eat.
The biggest benefit after moving to the studio is probably that his work and rest schedule has become much more regular. Before, he could just stay at home and not get up at all, but now he feels like he’s working from nine to five.
The facilities here are also very complete, including a gym, a cafeteria, and various leisure places. It is very convenient to work here. Apart from the high rent, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Let's go eat together. There's a big cafeteria downstairs. It's my treat."
Xu Qingye invited everyone to go downstairs. When he heard that Yi He was not interested in the cafeteria, he said that he had been eating in the cafeteria for half a month and he really couldn't eat anymore. He needed to slow down his appetite.
"You guys go eat, I want to eat something else."
Xu Qingye didn't force Yi He to go. He took Cao Mu'an and Lin Yang downstairs.
There are many brokerage companies around, and you can often meet some celebrities in the cafeteria. At the beginning, Cao Muan was quite excited, but after seeing them so many times, it felt like meeting a colleague.
The cafeteria is not open to the public, so it is relatively private.
After getting his meal, Xu Qingye found a place to sit down. Before they started eating, they heard discussions all around them. It was probably that some celebrity had arrived.
"It's Shen Que."
When Cao Mu'an heard the noise, he looked towards the door and immediately shouted excitedly. When Xu Qingye and Lin Yang heard Cao Mu'an's voice, they both turned around to look over.
Recently, the crew of "Dawn Breaking" released several behind-the-scenes footage, and one of the footage of Shen Que playing with a gun has become popular again. In the video, Shen Que was wearing a colorful shirt. He seemed to be casually disassembling a gun quickly and then putting it back together. His movements were neat and decisive, and with his cold face, it looked very impressive.
"Dawn" is striving for a schedule during the Spring Festival, so the editing process is being accelerated. If all goes well, it will be able to join the competition during the Spring Festival, so various small promotions have already begun.
Shen Que was still dazzling in the crowd. Even though the people here were used to seeing big stars, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he walked in.
“Are the boss and Shen Que good friends? The last time I went to deliver something, it was Shen Que who opened the door.”
Lin Yang saw Chen Que and suddenly became curious. They had a standee and posters of Chen Que in their studio. He had asked Cao Muan before, but Cao Muan just said that Chen Que was their God of Wealth because they also had posters of other artists. So Lin Yang didn't think much of it.
"Yes, he's my best friend. You could say he's my mentor. Shen Que entered the entertainment industry because of our boss."
The relationship between Xu Qingye and Shen Que naturally could not be spoken casually, but their friendship was well known to everyone, so Cao Muan naturally had no pressure at all to talk about it. He could occasionally see photos of Xu Qingye and Shen Que at concerts.
Lin Yang nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Chen Que at the door again. Chen Que was originally talking to Zhao Wen with his head down, and suddenly he saw Xu Qingye sitting in the corner in the crowd. He smiled at Xu Qingye, said a few words to Zhao Wen, and then the two of them walked towards Xu Qingye and the others.
Shen Que took the meal and sat down opposite Xu Qingye.
"Long time no see, you look handsome again, it's true that red energy nourishes people."
Cao Mu'an and Shen Que waved to each other. Shen Que's hair grew longer again, and his skin color recovered a little, returning to his youthful appearance.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Shen Que smiled, his phone vibrated, he picked it up and saw the message from Xu Qingye, Shen Que looked up at Xu Qingye and kicked him lightly under the table.
Xu Qingye: When did you come back? Why didn't you contact me? Do you want to get beaten?
Chen Que: I was called to the company for a meeting just after I arrived this morning. I wanted to look for you later, but I didn’t expect to meet you.
Shen Que quickly replied to the message, and Xu Qingye glanced at him.
Xu Qingye: Are you going home tonight?
Chen Que: Yes, I’ll pick you up later.
"Can you two stop playing with your phones while eating? The food is getting cold."
As soon as Chen Que sat down, Xu Qingye started playing with his mobile phone. When Xu Qingye played, Chen Que also started playing. Could the two of them not be so obvious? What were they saying that she couldn't hear?
"Eat, eat, eat now."
Xu Qingye put down his phone and started eating seriously.
"I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll go to your studio and play."
"Welcome, it just so happens that our studio has recently changed to a new large poster." Cao Muan welcomed him warmly. She really hadn't seen Chen Que for a while. Recently, there weren't many people in the fan club group chatting, and their relationship was almost alienated.
"What poster?"
Shen Que asked with some curiosity. When he came here before, the studio had not been fully renovated and almost nothing could be seen. Now the changes should be quite big.
"You'll know when you get there. Don't ask so many questions."
Xu Qingye smiled mysteriously and stopped Cao Muan from saying anything more.
"I'm a little curious about you guys. Can I go with you?"
Zhao Wen became interested, and she and Xu Qingye often communicated with each other, but she had never been to the studio since it moved here.
"Sure, let's go together. I just happened to buy some good coffee beans recently."
Xu Qingye nodded, and after dinner, the group returned to the studio together.
The studio is not far from Honor Film and Television, only a five-minute walk away. The studio has a front desk, but there is usually no one there. The company logo of "Shanye Media" is posted on the wall, and there is a camera on the table so that if someone comes, they can see from inside.
Further in is the office area, where Cao Muan and his colleagues usually work. There are many posters and slogans on the walls of the office area. The most eye-catching one is the poster in the middle. The poster is very large and uses a set of promotional photos he had just taken recently.
In addition, there are many heavy human-shaped standees in the office, one of which has a gold medal scratched on its neck.
"Hahahahaha, if you hadn't told me this was an office, I would have thought it was some fan's home. What does this poster say?"
Zhao Wen looked at the poster and laughed. She thought her office should be decorated like this.
"The posters on the wall have different sizes. The bigger they are, the more revenue they bring us. Our recent KPIs are mainly based on talent shows, but based on comprehensive data, Shen Que has the highest KPI, so the largest posters are used recently. And the gold medal is also fluid. We give it to whoever is the best."
Cao Muan explained the poster wall of their company. Marketing accounts rely on celebrities for their livelihood, so celebrities control their KPIs, and they have to pray frequently.
"So, if I'm not famous enough and can't make money for you, my posters will be taken down?" Shen Que stared at Xu Qingye, and Xu Qingye suddenly felt guilty.
"That's not the reason. It's mainly because you're handsome. Handsomeness is more pleasing to the eye when magnified."
"Hahahahaha, Xiao Shen, you still need to work harder. Otherwise, why don't we stop resting and join the group immediately to keep up the enthusiasm. We can't be outdone."
Zhao Wen really couldn't help it, mainly because she knew the relationship between Xu Qingye and Shen Que. It would be even funnier if she thought of them as a couple.
"Stop looking and go sit in my office for a while." Xu Qingye quickly changed the subject.
Xu Qingye's office was at the very back, with a huge floor-to-ceiling cabinet filled with various peripheral dolls and the like. There were also many cute little things on his desk. Zhao Wen took a look and saw that they were all celebrity support peripherals and the like, but the characters were very mixed, and there were also materials from two couples stuffed together.
Shen Que looked at Xu Qingye's office and felt it was very familiar. Xu Qingye's room was also of similar style, filled with a lot of things.
"I didn't expect Teacher Xu to have this style. It's quite surprising."
Zhao Wen has always had the impression that Xu Qingye is a steady and promising young man. Now it seems that he still has the lively side of a teenager.
"These are all materials I got from the scene. It's not appropriate to throw them away, so I kept them all. I don't have business all the time, so I still have to do the work of proxy photography occasionally."
Xu Qingye picked up a small card on the table and took a look at it. These were self-printed small cards given by fans at the scene. Although they were not valuable, they were also the fans' thoughtfulness.
There was a knock on the office door and Lin Yang walked in with a cup of coffee. He put the coffee down and was about to go out when Xu Qingye called him.
