Chapter 101
Jie Xichao paused with his finger.
For some reason he wanted to laugh because of the marketing account's pretentious tone.
Everyone in the industry knows that marketing accounts like these that have already gained a certain influence basically make a living by relying on traffic. The only difference is whether they make money on their own or by cooperating with the company behind them.
No matter which one it is, this tone, as if discovering a new world, seems a little humorous.
He clicked on the comment section and directly clicked on the comments in reverse order.
"It seems that a member let it slip during a live broadcast, but they didn't say when, just recently. Newstar is really a hard worker... This is the third comeback this year, the last one was in October, and I thought they would at least wait until the beginning of next spring."
"Uh, does anyone else find this timing awkward? It feels so rushed, could it be..."
"? Where's the rush?"
"Although, it's just very rushed. Newstar's comeback period is long, and the promotion starts in a month, which is almost like seamless non-stop. I think fans should really blame the company, it's too exploitative."
"There is no definite news yet on what date it will be, so let's wait and see."
If you scroll down further, you'll find that the words are basically the same.
Fans were very surprised, but some even felt sorry for the show and thought the schedule was too tight. As the spectators say, Newstar has previously been criticized for poor song selection and planning, and the company only cares about making quick money, and this time it has added another flaw to its resume.
Of course, there are also those who are hesitant to speak, but the news is not accurate at the moment, so those with divergent thoughts mostly say half and hide the other half.
No one named it directly.
Xie Xichao seemed to be thinking about something.
After all, it was not official news, so he did not continue to scroll down. He turned off the screen and fell asleep. Soon, he fell asleep.
The next day, after finally confirming that all the filming was completed, TP set off back to City A.
This time the MV shooting lasted longer than anyone imagined. That is why, when they returned, both Jie Xichao and the others felt like their vacation was over.
They had a lunch together at noon that day.
In the afternoon, the five of them got into the nanny car together, drew the curtains, and prepared to sleep in the car for two hours.
Xie Xishao slept until almost noon in the morning. Now he was not sleepy at all, so he leaned in the corner of the last row and continued to browse Weibo. The news of Newstar's upcoming comeback has spread, and it seems to be very plausible.
He looked at it for a while, and suddenly a message popped up in the message bar.
:Are you back?
He clicked on it and found that the sender was Guan Heng.
-
Xie Xichao hasn't talked much with Guan Heng recently.
Mainly busy.
Idols have irregular lives and are almost isolated from the world when they are busy.
Fortunately, the other party is also busy.
Guan Heng had joked about this when he chatted with him before, saying that their boss was so obsessed with their debut date that he wanted to borrow his dice, but in the end, he held back for the sake of face.
This is the difference between a small company and a big company, and also the difference between a talent show group and a permanent group.
For a company like Shenghong, it is of course necessary to maintain a consistently high standard when debuting, but even if it messes up, it can still make a comeback by buying a good song next time, coupled with mature marketing and planning.
The talent show group has been popular since the moment they debuted, and as long as they have fans, they will never have to worry about not having the opportunity to make a comeback.
But small companies are different.
Except for those groups from small companies who are destined to become extremely popular, most of them will almost always reach the peak of attention as soon as they debut. If you fail to seize this opportunity to attract fans, then your subsequent success will really depend on metaphysics.
After Guan Heng said this, Xie Xichao knew that he had something to say.
He replied, "On my way, will you come back to have dinner together?" Then, while waiting for Guan Heng's reply, he opened a pinned do not disturb group chat.
This group is a small group of five people. The nature is probably similar to the class group that was set up for self-entertainment without the teacher's knowledge during school days.
Because everyone lives together, this group often goes to extremes. That is, either no one speaks for a long time, or the room keeps crackling.
Generally speaking, in the latter situation, Xie Xichao would selectively turn on the Do Not Disturb function.
It turned out to be a wise choice.
Xie Xichao didn't know why even though they had agreed to go to sleep, the group was still able to chat for 99+ hours.
Anyway, when he clicked in, everyone was discussing tomorrow's dinner. Ai Qingyuan argued with Fu Wenzhe over whether to eat hotpot or barbecue, and the two sides had even reached the level of attacking each other's tastes.
Jie Xichao looked at it for a while and then slowly sent a message.
Chaobao: We will record tomorrow.
There was silence in the group for a second.
Chaobao: I will select some dishes and order them home later, and make fish soup for you in the evening.
Chaobao: I just learned this from Brother Fu.
Panpan Bread: Great!
The matter was happily decided.
Then, everyone continued to discuss the previous topic.
Zou 1: So what time do we arrive at the company for recording tomorrow? Brother Cheng just told me that it will start at 9 o'clock. Can we set the alarm for 7:30?
Zou 1:? Who changed my group nickname?
Xiao Ai: It’s me. I just changed it. Isn’t it very concise and domineering?
Classmate Xiao Ai:? ? ? Who changed my group nickname?
Chao Bao: It's me. I changed it a long time ago, but I just discovered it now.
Chao Bao: Excuse me, is the format of my group nickname taken from some intelligent voice robot?
Fu Wenzhe:.
A minute later, Fu Wen Ze's group nickname became "The most annoying person in the world."
Minute after minute, "The World's Most Annoying Person" removed "Xiao Ai" from the group chat.
The world is quiet.
Xie Xichao felt that if he continued to stay in this group, it would most likely lower his IQ, which had already been depleted recently, so he exited the group chat interface and saw the message that Guan Heng had sent him a minute ago.
: Xichao, I’m going to make my debut.
*
The first thing Xie Xichao did after returning to the villa was to call Guan Heng.
The other party picked up the phone, and said with a smile in his voice: "Hello, Xi Chao."
"I heard that you went on a sponsored trip to shoot the music video. How was it? Did you have fun?"
"It's okay." Xie Xichao said.
He paused and said seriously, "Congratulations on your debut."
In fact, he has been worried about Guan Heng all along. They were worried that he would repeat what happened at Shenghong, worried about the lawsuit between him and his former employer, and worried that he would encounter a new crisis. But I can't express this worry. Because he is not the party involved.
The worries of others will only make the person involved more worried.
Fortunately, I made my debut.
As long as you make your debut, no matter what, you have taken the first step.
His blessings were sincere.
"You congratulate me without even asking me what day I'm debuting?" Guan Heng paused, trying not to laugh. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. "What if it's also February 14th?"
Xie Xichao thought about it and said, "That's good."
"Then maybe we can have meals together for a month." He said honestly, "I think Ai Qingyuan should be very happy."
He paused and added, "Fu Wenzhe should be able to do it too."
Guan Heng: “…”
He commented: "It looks like my former teammates have made your life very difficult."
"Not bad." Xie Xichao tried to hold back his laughter. "So what's the number?"
Guan Heng said: "March 2nd."
Jie Xichao understood everything.
This was within his expectations.
When Guan Heng was poached, the other party was attracted by his potential commercial value. Although some people still feel sorry for Guan Heng for not making a quick decision to withdraw from the competition to expose Sheng Hong's affair, Xie Xichao thinks that this was a smart move.
He always felt that the other party was a smart person.
Smart people always want to maximize their benefits. Guan Heng is the core of the new group, and the topic of the new group must revolve around him. The two things that can be written about him at present are Sheng Hong and the original "Super Rookie".
Xie Xichao was not surprised that their boss would use these two topics.
TP is very popular, and new groups definitely don’t dare to clash with them. If they want to make a fuss, they can only do it at the beginning or the end.
"I'm just trying to take advantage of your popularity." Guan Heng sighed.
He actually felt a little apologetic.
This is also the reason why he specially sent a message to Jie Xichao.
He doesn't care what happens to Sheng Hong, but other than that, he has never thought of using Ai Qingyuan for publicity. Those words were just spoken in anger at the time. After all, he is still my younger brother.
But this is the company's decision, and it is also a decision that is beneficial to them, so he has no right to interfere.
Xie Xichao smiled and said, "How do you define riding on the popularity?"
Guan Heng was stunned for a moment.
Xie Xichao said bluntly: "You are a contestant of Super Rookie, and this is the bonus brought to you by your experience. Rather than saying that you are riding on the popularity, it is better to say that you are taking advantage of this past experience that belongs to you."
He paused, "Don't go to the new company and follow our captain's lead. You're just making things difficult for yourself. Our captain has already walked out of it. You don't need to dwell on these things anymore."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment.
After a moment, Guan Heng slowly opened his mouth.
"You're right," he said. "I'm just being stubborn again."
He was somewhat helpless, "I didn't expect that I would need you to persuade me after leaving the show. I am really going backwards."
Xie Xichao smiled: "It's okay."
He comforted the other person: "There are always times when people can't get over it."
After saying this, the two of them tacitly changed the topic, and the slightly subtle atmosphere disappeared.
Just before hanging up the phone, Guan Heng suddenly remembered something and said quickly:
"etc."
"Do you want to say Newstar?" Xie Xichao asked.
Guan Heng really wanted to say this. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Did you see it?"
Xie Xichao smiled and said, "The marketing has been posted on the homepage of my secondary account. How can I not see it?"
Guan Heng hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I'm not too sure, maybe it's just..."
"I did it on purpose." Xie Xichao said.
Guan Heng was stunned.
Xie Xichao changed his posture and leaned forward, saying in a relaxed and indifferent tone: "Don't think about it, it's not a misunderstanding, nor a coincidence. There is no other possibility. They did it on purpose."
