21 Grating Eye Strips
The small bag was only the size of a palm and thin. Zheng Xiyan guessed as she opened it, "It's so small, it doesn't look like there are glow sticks. Could it be a bracelet? A poster?"
Generally speaking, at performances and concerts, if the organizer wants the audience seats to look harmonious and beautiful, they will distribute cheering sticks uniformly. The trainees they wanted to see had never appeared before and definitely didn't have cheering colors yet. As for the light stick battle, that was something for the future.
"Hey? What's this?" The friend took out a stack of rectangular cards from the bag, about four or five cards. She turned the cards over, shook them, and exclaimed, "So beautiful... Can it even blink?"
Each card is a close-up of a pair of eyes, some are disdainful, some are innocent, and some are smiling. What's even more amazing is that as long as you move slightly, the eyes on the card will blink vividly, as if they are winking at you.
Zheng Xiyan and the others considered themselves to be veteran star chasers in the domestic entertainment industry, but they had never seen such novel peripheral products produced by any company. It was rare enough that the trainees' eyes were picked out and made into cards, and they could even move.
The trainees' names were written on the back of the cards. Zheng Xiyan and her friend were a pair, and each of them got five cards randomly, and they both happened to have different names in their hands.
"Amazing." Zheng Xiyan spread the cards on her lap and couldn't help but take out her phone to take a photo as a souvenir. "I think none of them are ugly. Where did Yuanxin pick all these beautiful kids from?"
“This should be a lenticular material, a bit like the technology used in 3D painting. This is the effect created by superimposing a photo of one eye open and one eye closed.” My friend has a little knowledge of art and came to the conclusion after observing for a while. Although the effect is amazing, it is not a very rare material. The first person who thought of using it in this way is truly a genius.
She picked up a card with a slightly smiling eye, deep contours and long eyelashes, which looked very gentle. She turned the card over and read the name on it: "Pei Zijin."
This time, Yuan Xiao prepared 5,000 small cards to distribute to the audience participating in the performance, with an average of 200 cards for each trainee. This is the first time that such peripherals have appeared here. If she hadn't prepared so many types, she should really apply for a patent or something.
Yuan Xiao had started preparing for these more than a month ago. She knew that Yuan Xin had a company that specialized in hosting music festivals and concerts, but it was unlikely that the business was so large that it even had physical manufacturers that produced peripherals. So she asked the almighty assistant Liu: "Brother Liu, which factory do we usually order the peripherals for our albums?"
Assistant Liu understood but didn't fully understand, "There are a few companies that we frequently cooperate with. Does Xiaoyuan always order a physical record or a photo album?"
"Oh no, I mean small cards, badges, ticket stubs, dolls, etc...." Seeing the confused look on Liu Zhu's face for the first time, Yuan Xiao had a bad feeling, "Our company has never done these before, right?"
She tapped the system frantically in her mind: "System, system, there won't be any peripherals in this world, right? Where's Xiaoka? There's no Xiaoka either?"
What's the difference between Star Chaser without the card and the peripherals and Transformers without gasoline? It can't burn at all.
[There are still small cards, but they are not popular in the domestic entertainment industry. People still buy magazines and physical albums, and most of the gifts are posters and photos.] The system will query with one click and report [Small cards are more popular in Japanese and Korean entertainment, and are a few years behind you in this field.]
Or it can be said that the current Xiaoka here is still limited to the star-chasing circle of Japanese and Korean entertainment. Everyone is still rolling up their idols' faces, and it has not spread to the fields of variety shows, games, and animation. The market is not big enough and the demand is not large enough, so naturally it is impossible to derive the various types and gameplays that Yuan Xiao has experienced.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, this is still the world of talent shows. There is no good company platform to continue operating. After debuting, they are busy turning into singers and actors. It is considered to be worthy of the fans if they can release a group album. After all, after two years, the team will disband, and all the card circles will collapse, so naturally no one will be willing to buy it.
"What about Gu Zi? Baji Colored Paper Flowing Hemp Stand..." Yuan Xiao sighed, "There can't be any too? What kind of life do you guys in the second dimension live here?"
You have to know that before she came over, the valley circle and the card circle on her side were about to launch a technological revolution.
[This is still available.] System supplement [and it has been developed for a long time.]
Yuan Xiao felt a little relieved. As long as this thing existed, it would be fine. A small market meant that the idol was not popular. These were all minor problems. She believed that as long as this thing existed in the world, she would be able to find a manufacturer for it in China.
"Director, please help me find out if there is any reliable millet factory." Yuan Xiao can think of too many ideas regarding the surrounding area, and the quantity required is also huge. Instead of cooperating with small card manufacturers that have not yet developed and waiting for them to expand their production lines, it is better to directly look for suitable millet producers. Many technologies are directly interoperable and can be used right away.
This grating card is the product of Yuan Xiao's first collaboration with the manufacturer, and the effect is remarkable. Before the performance even started, this novel peripheral had already been spread all over the Internet by fans who came to the scene.
This is a little card that moves. Who doesn’t want to play with a beautiful little card that moves and moves in their hands?
Zheng Xiyan sent the video she recorded to the group, which aroused the envy and jealousy of those who could not come to the scene:
"In three minutes, I want to know all the information about the owner of Zhong Shang's second eye."
"How is this done? I also want to make a card of my own. To be honest, can't you open up some peripheral customization services? I'm willing to pay for it."
"Can I go to Weibo and tag that crappy company I'm worried about that doesn't do anything all day?"
Yuan Xiao said that this is just the beginning. Although the grating card is flexible, it is blurry. It is okay for close-ups, but it is not very useful for half-body and full-body photos. It can only be given away as a free peripheral gimmick. As for the paid items, hehe, she has other arrangements.
Such conversations also took place in many star-chasing groups, and some people could not help but upload the video to Weibo and short video platforms, attracting more curiosity:
"What beautiful eyes! Which Chinese celebrity is this?"
"Why is the card still moving? Which company issued this card?"
Yuan Xiao took a quick look at his phone in the background. The publicity team reported that they had detected some positive comments about Yuan Xin. Yuan Xiao pressed the screen and replied with a voice message: "Pick a few good ones. If the copy mentions that they are new trainees under Yuan Xin, you can take the initiative to invest in some promotion."
Yesterday the trainees finished recording the group dance for the theme song, and today follows the first public performance. Everyone from the trainees to the staff are very tired, and they are basically relying on adrenaline to keep going.
Yuan Xiao would also be on stage to sit on the judges' panel soon. After coming out of the center console, she was pulled by the makeup artist to touch up her makeup. She looked at the time and saw that there were still forty-five minutes before the show started. She turned around and said to Gu Yuchen, who was also sitting next to her and putting on makeup, "I'm going to go out for a while."
Gu Yuchen closed his eyes and nodded casually, not knowing whether he heard it clearly or not. After the rehearsal began, he changed from music director to stage director part-time, and was also exhausted.
Before seeing the audience seats in front, Mr. Yuan Xiao was still a little nervous. Although a thousand invitations had been sent out... at least there would have to be three to five hundred people.
She quietly poked her head out from the small door on the side of the backstage. The moment she opened the door, she was overwhelmed by the noisy voices in the venue. The venue was only one-third open and was full. Yuan Xiao was shocked for half a minute before she convinced herself that the influence of Yuanxin and free was really that great.
A thousand people might not mean much in the future, but for an undisclosed trainee group, it is already a pretty good start.
She didn't feel happy for long before she realized that the number of staff she had prepared to maintain order might not be enough. Yuan Xiao retreated backstage, took out her phone, and asked the directors of the variety show to take the microphone to the stage, explain the rules of the recording venue, and then dispatch more people to the audience.
After all, this is a variety show that will be officially broadcast, and the invitation letter also comes with an agreement that requires that the entire process cannot be recorded, and stage-related images and videos are not allowed to be publicly disseminated before the variety show is officially broadcast online.
Yuan Xiao knows that this kind of thing cannot be controlled. When the trainees have their own fan base and fans, they will try every possible way to get the pictures out, just like she did back then... ahem, in short, it is better to guide than block. The spontaneous publicity by fans and fans cannot be said to be harmful to the trainees. The staff just serves as a reminder. I believe that as long as it is for the good of the children, the fans can fully understand.
After a while, a director wearing a hat and holding a microphone hurriedly ran onto the stage and read out several key points for the recording. Most of the people who came were veteran fans of variety shows, and they were well aware of the unspoken rules of variety shows such as Reuters would be edited out during the official broadcast, and they all said that there was no problem at all.
The one who has a problem now is Yuan Xiao. To be honest—she is a little nervous.
When he returned to the lounge, Gu Yuchen had already finished his makeup. Compared with his previous stage makeup, his current all-black look added a bit of the aura of a producer. Even if he was lying on the sofa, he looked like a big boss.
He sat up straight as soon as Yuan Xiao came in, but Yuan Xiao's mind was not on him at all. Gu Yuchen saw that she was not in a good state and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing."
Yuan Xiao sat absentmindedly in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror. After a moment, she turned around and asked, "Teacher Gu, are you nervous?"
As soon as she asked the question, she realized that she had asked a stupid question. Yuan Xiao smiled awkwardly, "You definitely won't be nervous..."
"Nervous." Gu Yuchen suddenly stood up, walked in front of her, and spread his hands in front of her. "You may not believe it, but I get nervous every time before going on stage."
Yuan Xiao looked at him and understood what he meant. She lightly touched his palm with her fingertips, which felt very cold.
She said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you weren't..."
"Do you often go on stage?" Gu Yuchen smiled. "Going on stage often does not conflict with being nervous. Everyone is nervous. It's no big deal."
"It's okay, Yuan Xiao, we've already rehearsed it, just follow the routine."
