Chapter 29 I Underestimated Her
In the simple and bright office, Pu Yao was listening to the report from the executive director of the Starlight Live Broadcasting Platform with a frown on his brow.
He came for Bai Qiuwu again.
Because in the past few days, Bai Qiuwu's value assessment has plummeted, which is related to her plummeting popularity.
The Executive Director was extremely worried: "She refused our cooperation and we can't contact her at all. Due to her absence these past few days and Wu Li's incident, her popularity has plummeted."
"If she continues to remain silent, she will soon be forgotten."
"What's the matter, Wu Li?" Pu Yao asked in a cold voice.
As a CEO with a lot of things to do, he really doesn't have time to pay attention to entertainment gossip on Weibo every day. However, he still knows who Wu Li is. After all, it can be said that he was the one who sent Wu Li to jail.
The Executive Director had no choice but to tell Pu Yao about Wu Li's situation. At the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what that little celebrity is thinking. Is she really afraid of being scolded?"
Pu Yao didn't know what Bai Qiuwu was thinking, he just analyzed the problem calmly.
"So what's the situation now? Is Bai Qiuwu's estimated value still worth mobilizing all our forces?"
"Based on the overall situation, if she signs with us within a week and actively starts live streaming and maintains her popularity, then we can sign her. Her value is enough for us to mobilize a large force."
"But for some reason, she seemed very resistant to us. It was very difficult to sign a contract within a week. She was unwilling to engage with us at all."
"Why?" Pu Yao frowned and asked, "Bai Qiuwu has no reason to refuse us."
Normally speaking, Bai Qiuwu had no reason to refuse them. She could no longer make it in the entertainment industry, and no one would be so foolish as to ask her to be a spokesperson. In short, all her sources of income were cut off.
The only thing that is valuable to her now is her popularity, so it is only natural for her to find a place to live broadcast.
So when she first applied to sign a contract with Starlight Live, no one was surprised. After all, Starlight Live is considered a leader among all live streaming platforms, with large traffic, good treatment, and a leading position.
But after being rejected once, this woman acted like crazy. What's going on?
You are so arrogant that you refuse to sign after being rejected?
Is there anyone in this world who can’t get along with money?
Pu Yao couldn't understand it. He really didn't know Bai Qiuwu. His only impression of this little star was that he was weird and seemed a little abnormal.
But he doesn't understand, there are people who do.
After a phone call, Pu Xi, who was also in the company, was called up with a confused look on his face.
The Executive Director politely called him "Second Young Master", his eyes revealing an unconcealable excitement and gossip.
He knew that this second young master had a good relationship with Bai Qiuwu, and it was this second young master who unblocked Bai Qiuwu's live broadcast room when it was blocked before.
Although they should be in a sister-in-law and brother relationship, wealthy families are so chaotic.
Who doesn’t like to read gossip about wealthy families?
The director was so excited that he almost rubbed his hands together.
Then he saw Pu Xi, with eyes full of stupidity, happily calling him "Brother".
Pu Yao glanced at him, ignoring his incoherence, and simply asked, "How's Bai Qiuwu doing?"
Pu Xi's depression became noticeable at a rapid pace. "I don't know why, but her phone has been turned off for a while now, and I can't contact her."
"But she replied to my message today! She explained that she was busy before. I asked her if she wanted to sign the contract, but she hasn't replied yet."
"Can you sign it within a week?" Pu Yao asked him directly without any nonsense.
"Why within a week?"
Pu Yao glanced at the executive director, who understood and stepped forward to explain, "Because her value assessment is plummeting, it's related to her popularity."
"If she can't sign a contract within a week and doesn't start operating, then she's not worth signing."
Pu Xi studied journalism and knew the tactics of marketing, but she was still a little dissatisfied: "It doesn't necessarily have to be marketed. She can maintain her popularity without marketing."
The director looked at Pu Xi as if he were a child, and said respectfully, "According to big data analysis, no one person can always dominate the public eye."
"If there is no periodic operation to maintain popularity, no matter how well-known a star is, she will be forgotten by the public. She can't maintain popularity on her own."
When Pu Xi heard this, she felt that the master's ability was being questioned, and she directly refuted: "Didn't she build up her previous popularity on her own? I don't see anyone helping her manage it!"
"That's a different Second Young Master. Her reputation is already so bad it can't get any worse. Even if she continues to act like a troublemaker and court disaster, netizens may not buy it."
"Not only that, she was also exploiting her own fame before. If it happens again now, there will be nothing for her to exploit. Without management, she will not be able to continue to maintain her popularity."
Pu Xi opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to say it, because the director's words were so sharp.
As long as people have a sense of freshness, there are stars who have taken the black-and-red route, but even if they are popular for a while, if they cannot maintain their popularity, they will inevitably decline later.
The reason is because of what the director said.
If you do it once, people will scold you. But if you do it too many times, who will care about you in the future?
I've gotten used to it and even treat you as a clown.
This is indeed true, but Pu Xi is a little reluctant to believe it, because in his heart, Bai Qiuwu is different.
He is a master. Which master would be stumped by such a small problem?
But Pu Xi couldn't bring himself to say this out loud, so he could only turn to look at Pu Yao with anticipation: "Brother, what do you think?"
His brother must know that Bai Qiuwu is a master, so his brother must believe in Bai Qiuwu like he does!
Pu Yao glanced at him and said calmly, "One week. If you can't sign it, forget it."
Pu Xi was anxious: "Brother!"
Pu Yao: "What's the matter? Are you having any trouble?"
Pu Xi gritted his teeth: "No, I just think you all underestimate the master."
The director rolled his eyes and thought that the second young master was indeed a recent college graduate. Even though he majored in journalism, he was still so naive.
It's so naive that it's hard to evaluate him.
However, just when he felt that Pu Xi was indeed not suitable to be the boss and that his brother Pu Yao was calm and rational, the phone suddenly rang.
He wanted to hang up immediately, but saw that the caller ID was from the HR lady of the live broadcast company. She never calls unless...
Bai Qiuwu compromised?
The executive director's eyes lit up, he gestured to Pu Yao, picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
As expected, this young lady came to report the news about Bai Qiuwu.
"Bai Qiuwu started live streaming!"
The director breathed a sigh of relief: "She's still willing to do a live broadcast, which means she still wants to make money, but it's a little too late now."
"If you contacted her and said you wanted to sign a contract with her, help her buy popularity, and manage her business, she probably wouldn't be so stubborn now. After all, if she starts live streaming now, her popularity will definitely drop off a cliff. I don't believe she isn't anxious."
The girl on the other side was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Still need to buy popularity? No need, the number of people in her live broadcast room has exceeded 300,000! And it's still rising rapidly."
Executive Director: “?”
Pu Yao and Pu Xi: "..."
