Chapter 061 Chapter 61
After Feng Ruogu finished washing up, he returned to his desk. Looking at the chat box on his laptop screen, filled with questions from members of Ji Shao's fan club, he felt a little helpless.
Trending? Honestly, with New Town's size, getting on the trending search list is easy. After all, trending is just a way for them to make money; anyone with enough money can get on it. New Town is a major company in the industry, and even its employees, like Feng Ruogu himself, have access to the contact information of Mr. Wang, the Weibo promotion manager.
The current problem is that communication between Xincheng and the Xingtu production team is extremely difficult, and even seems to be on the verge of collapse. The company is quite optimistic about Ji Shao, not only assigning her to be in charge of his fan marketing, but also assigning the skilled Song Xiao to be his assistant. This clearly demonstrates the importance the company places on Ji Shao. Even before his debut, he already has two staff members dedicated to his affairs.
However, Feng Ruogu swiped her phone to the communication interface with the Star Path 101 production team, and she couldn't help but feel a headache. Star Path was really being too rude, actually requiring Ji Shao to sign an additional agreement with them before the competition.
The agreement stated that if Ji Shao formed a group, his ownership would be transferred to Star 101 for the first few years. This meant that New Town had completely lost control of Ji Shao during the years he formed the group.
As for the profits, the split was a tight 50-50 split. This meant not only that Ji Shao's personal income had to be split 50-50 with Xingtu, but the remaining half was also split equally with the rest of the group before Xincheng received the final share. As for the split with Ji Shao, they would have to look up the original contract. Feng Ruogu currently didn't know the agreed-upon ratio between Ji Shao and Xincheng.
There is also a tyrannical clause in the contract. If the Star 101 production team still wants to reorganize the group after the contract expires, Ji Shao must unconditionally agree to renew the contract.
This is also one of the important reasons why Xincheng would rather maintain a stalemate with the Star 101 production team than compromise and cooperate. And even if Ji Shao can't debut on Star 101, doesn't he still have his own management company?
In the hot search a while ago about Ji Shao's tears, Feng Ruogu remembered that many passers-by hoped that he could film a movie, which shows that Ji Shao himself is quite popular with the audience.
With Ji Shao's current popularity and the size of New Town Company, filming is completely in his comfort zone. To put it bluntly, the only way out for domestic entertainment is filming, of course, this is because the domestic idol market has not yet been successfully developed.
After all, New Town is a large domestic economic company. Although they have seen the trend of Star 101's hit, they have never benefited from the traffic dividend brought by idols. Even if the company's internal assessment is that the show will be a big hit, they don't know the upper limit of the potential that this hit variety show can bring to people.
With a sigh, Feng Ruogu replied to Shuyu from Ji Shao's fan club in a businesslike manner, "We've already reported the fans' requests!" This was something his superior had specifically instructed him to do. The most important thing to avoid when running a fan club is being too easygoing with them. It's best to maintain some distance, otherwise, they'll easily backfire.
Feng Ruogu had her own authority over trending searches. Looking at the topic #季韶应支持# climbing the entertainment trending searches, she decided to do a favor for the fangirl, "Pangran Xindong," and see if she could recruit her later.
…
The next morning, after the new product was released, Qin Shi, who now had time to relax at work, received a blog post from a friend with a thumbs up.
Qin Shi was curious. Ji Shao's name was listed on the link, and she still remembered it vividly. At yesterday's meeting, XS had conducted an offline survey, and many of its regular customers were very receptive to young faces (specifically referring to Ji Shao). Even the perfume Ji Shao photographed was frequently out of stock when it first launched.
It was not until the past two days that it stabilized, but it has been in a hot-selling state. The company's business department has begun to discuss subsequent business with Ji Shao's company Xincheng.
She raised an eyebrow and opened the link, instantly captivated by the short, tens-second video of support. The beach, waves, and sky, at dusk, met stunningly within a small flower wall. And the photo of Ji Shao holding perfume blended perfectly into the scene, occasionally giving the illusion that he was filming a perfume campaign.
Originally, the colleague behind the workstation was passing by Qin Shi and was about to get some water, but after accidentally catching a glimpse of this "promotional video", he stood there for a while until he finished watching the video.
She couldn't help but move closer to Qin Shi, and watched the replayed video again. She praised it with all her heart, "Shi Shi, your ad is really good!"
Advertisement? As if suddenly enlightened, Qin Shi calmly replied, "Oh... yes!" After replying to her colleague with a slight sense of guilt, Qin Shi immediately pressed the phone towards herself. Quickly tapping Song Xiao's communication, she sent the link to him, asking if he knew this fangirl.
Xincheng-Song Xiao: My heart is beating
Qin Shi: I’m really moved! If you know this person, could you please give me his contact information?
Xincheng—Song Xiao: Teacher Qin, didn’t we all add Xindong’s contact information together that day?
Qin Shi: ...
Xincheng—Song Xiao:?
Qin Shi???
Seeing Song Xiao's last words, Qin Shi suddenly realized that this heartbeat was not the same as that one. And what he said about adding contact information together... Qin Shi fell into memories...
…
Zhou Xiao was chatting with Qi Sisi and the others at the cafe. Everyone was present today. Zhou Xiao had previously given her several tickets for the second public performance of the Star 101 production team, and she had distributed them to the others before leaving.
In order to participate in the second public performance, Dong Xiaoyu and the other three took leave or adjusted their days off to meet Zhou Xiao and Qi Sisi offline. Now they are all waiting for the coffee shop staff to make support coffee.
The day before yesterday, Zhou Xiao received a call from the coffee shop owner Li Ruoshi asking if he still wanted offline support. After receiving Zhou Xiao's affirmative answer, Li Ruoshi also arranged today's materials in advance.
Ever since the offline support for the first public performance, the coffee shop run by Li Ruoshi has attracted many fans who come to Huashang Times to commute to work. Many of them first ask if they ordered coffee from Pingran Xindong. The place has also become a frequent gathering place for offline fans.
The high-quality coffee, delicious desserts, and elegant environment quickly boosted the coffee shop's business, attracting many repeat customers. The bustling business also attracted nearby residents to buy coffee and other items.
Li Ruoshi also remembered Zhou Xiao very well. This time, she took the initiative to greet him and was ready to work with Zhou Xiao to provide joint support. She didn't even need Zhou Xiao to pay the cost price, and she could just cover all the support.
Of course, the decorations on the support food truck were also redesigned by Zhou Xiao. They are consistent with the theme of the flower wall and are full of the style of the beach and the sea.
"Ding-ling-ling!" The phone in her bag rang. Zhou Xiao took it out and saw who was coming. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Qi Sisi and the others who were chatting heard the ringing and lowered their voices and looked towards the source of the ringing.
Seeing that the conversation had stopped, Zhou Xiao curled the corners of his mouth and pointed to the door, indicating that they could continue chatting normally while he went out to talk.
Zhou Xiao answered the phone and stood at the door, listening to Qin Shi's voice on the line. The voice on the phone seemed a little confused, "Teacher Zhou, um, may I ask if you run the "Pounding Heart" website that's trending and supporting Ji Shao?"
…
After finishing the conversation, Zhou Xiao returned to the restaurant and sat down at the table with his phone. Seeing that Zhou Xiao looked normal, Qi Sisi and the others did not ask for any gossip about him.
Zhou Xiao took a sip of his coffee and suddenly said, "XS Perfume is coming to our place for offline promotion and joint support."
The few people who were chatting - Dong Xiaoyu had a confused look on her face, Zhu Jian maintained an expression of opening his mouth to speak, Li Mo closed his mouth silently, and Qi Sisi excitedly shouted "Ah".
Fortunately, the cafe was temporarily closed today, so the other customers weren't disturbed. With Li Mo covering her mouth, Qi Sisi suppressed her excited smile and obediently placed her hand in front of her mouth, indicating that it was zipped shut. But then something suddenly occurred to her, and her expression became somewhat bewildered, as she glanced at Zhou Xiao a few more times with a strange look.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Qi Sisi's strange gaze constantly scanning over him, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Uh..." Qi Sisi's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she quickly swallowed them back. A voice in her head reminded her that she should wait until Zhou Xiao brought it up before bringing up her speculation, as it would be impolite to do so. Perhaps Zhou Xiao didn't want anyone to know?
…
The XS staff arrived quickly, and within half an hour, Zhou Xiao received a call from Qin Shi, asking where to wait for him. But before Zhou Xiao could say anything, Qin Shi, standing in Huashang Times Square, looked up and saw the huge and beautiful flower wall not far away. She muttered to herself, "We've got you there!"

Oh my god, when did XS have a land area? This is so beautiful!

1L is dizzy... This is the flower wall that pounded heart to support Ji Shao... We talked about it last night.

So does anyone know why the XS staff were standing under the flower wall created by Heartbeat? One guess is, they weren't just trying to use the flower wall?
16L
This flower wall of Xindongjie is really awesome. In the early morning, some people speculated whether it would be a collaboration with XS, but they laughed at me. I didn’t expect that I would be the laughing stock now... (Yes, I am also the main reason for the laughter...)
24L
I really, really am getting pink eye. I can't bear to watch this kind of scene. Is this the treatment for being the first business person?
35L
Reply to 24L: You are overthinking it. Can we only say that the brand is optimistic about Ji Shao?
67L OP
Everyone, stop chatting!!! Help! XS is giving away perfumes!!! Come and line up if you’re offline!

Zundu fake du, isn’t a bottle worth thousands... Can the OP please clarify whether it is the full bottle or a sample?
