60th Ceremony
It is customary on the red carpet for the presidents of various platforms and companies to enter first. Yuan Xiao was led by the staff to sit at a round table on the left side of the front row. On her left was an executive of a certain platform, on her right was the male president of the company next door, and behind her were some producers, agents and so on. It was a very good position and perspective to watch the stage.
The only flaw was that there was really nothing to eat on the table. This might be because most artists had to maintain their image and couldn't eat casually, and eating melon seeds didn't look very nice. Yuan Xiao entered the venue early and there were not many people there yet, so he could only sit in his seat and play with his phone.
But she ignored the fact that this was her first time attending a public event after taking over Yuanxin. The CEOs at the table gradually started chatting. Yuan Xiao was her mother's successor, so many people wanted to meet this young CEO. There were also some senior executives whom she had known since she was on a variety show before, so she had to give them this face when introducing them to each other.
She was busy socializing at the venue, and Stary was also preparing for their first red carpet appearance.
The order of the five brothers' first red carpet appearance was not even the last one in this level of year-end ceremony. They were unique in recent years in appearing in the middle or later part of the show. Fans were of course looking forward to their first red carpet looks. In the red carpet live broadcast room, many little stars were already calling out their five names, but Stary, who was still waiting in the nanny car, was not feeling well.
Although male stars' red carpet looks are generally not as exaggerated and gorgeous as those of female stars, it is a constant truth that borrowed custom-made clothes are not easy to wear. You also have to be careful in the car to avoid wrinkles on the clothes, which is so uncomfortable.
It took a whole day to finalize the looks of the five of them. Yuan Xiao didn't particularly care that their first red carpet looks had to be out of the ordinary, but as a new boy band member who had just debuted, it was important for each of them to find their own fashion style during this period of tolerance when people were still fresh to them.
The first thing that was passed over was the suit. Except for Pei Zijin who could barely adapt to the shape of the suit, the figures of the rest could still withstand it, but their temperament made them look like children wearing adult clothes secretly. Moreover, suits have long been common on the red carpet for male stars. This conservative choice that would not go wrong is not what Stary should do now.
Yuan Xiao and the makeup team directed them to try out the classic styles of various brands and found that light and bright brands were more suitable for Stary's overall style and positioning. Both retro and loose styles and elegant and refined line styles were good, but they only avoided the solemn and dignified ones.
In Yuan Xiao's words, young people should wear clothes that young people wear.
With Stary's current influence, he couldn't borrow the couture from the old brands, but after the style was determined, Yuan Xiao directly negotiated for the styles of the emerging individual designers who had always cooperated with Yuan Xin to come up with a whole show look with the same theme for the five people to choose from.
A boy band doesn't have to dress exactly the same as if they were copied and pasted. As long as all five members are dressed in the same theme, and not one is retro and the other is futuristic and messy, that's fine.
In the finalized looks, the styling designs of the five people are all inclined to the oriental aesthetic style, with loose and free tailoring. The selected clothes all contain elements of silk and tulle, so that the silk will not reflect too much and the texture will not look cheap. The overall look is different from the stereotyped "men's wear" impression. But it will definitely make people's eyes shine.
Among the five people, Pei Zijin and Jin Zeyu were wearing draped formal suits with capes. The difference was that Pei Zijin was dressed in solid color, and the cape gently wrapped his slender figure, while Jin Zeyu had his hair shaved short, and under his wild eyebrows were large embroidered flowers on the cape behind him, which trailed all the way to the ground.
The three younger ones all wore loose-fitting tops of different designs with trousers, and they also put more effort into accessories. So when they appeared together at the end of the red carpet, the online live broadcast audience would only feel that there were too many handsome guys to keep track of at a glance, but they would not feel that anyone was particularly abrupt.
"Ahhh it's us Stary, you look so handsome today babies."
"Oh Jin Zeyu, brother, you are a husband."
"Is this the kind of beauty that a human can have? Yuanxiao, you finally dressed my baby."
I learned the photography course when I first entered the company for practice. When taking photos on the red carpet, no matter whether it is scorching sun or freezing cold wind, I have to keep my eyes straight and my expression unchanged, otherwise my bad photos will be spread all over the Internet.
The nervousness that the five members of Stary had felt before stepping onto the red carpet had long been shattered by the cold winter wind in the capital. Although they still looked like they were still there, they had actually been too cold to walk for a while. They relied entirely on their professional instinct to answer the red carpet host's questions about the promotion of their first album.
When they were finally able to walk, their pace quickened significantly. As soon as they reached the end of the red carpet, Pei Zijin led the four of them into a run. They quickly passed through the crowd of people in various dresses and only breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the main venue.
The staff responsible for guiding:?
Jin Zeyu and Pei Zijin quickly took out a few hot packs from their pockets and under their lapels and gave them to Yan Fan, Yu Le and Su Chen. After sitting down, the five of them hugged the hot packs and shook themselves together.
They sat in the back row, with a large group of first-tier and second-tier artists between them and Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao saw them coming in from afar, and temporarily apologized to the boss next to him, then picked up his phone and sent a message to Pei Zijin: "The five of you sit up straight, hold on and don't play with your phones, find the main camera position, and don't leave in a hurry after receiving the award, wait until the end of the show to be together."
It is the first time for newcomers to attend the ceremony, so they should be polite as possible. They are not busy at the moment. The stage of the ceremony is different from the usual offline and online ones, so it can be regarded as a good learning opportunity.
Yuan Xiao did not leave with them. There would be a cocktail party after the ceremony. Although she had never been interested in such occasions, she heard some news during the conversation just now, which made her want to learn more about it.
The chaotic environment at the ceremony was certainly not a good time to discuss business, but Yuan Xiao received a lot of news, both true and false. She felt that most of these people recognized that she was probably a good successor, but whether she was a collaborator that would be remembered at the first time would depend on the performance of her variety show broadcast.
Being able to do well in one's own variety show is not a big deal, but if one can really leverage the popularity of programs co-produced by multiple parties, perhaps by then, the small word in front of Yuan Xiao's address as "Mr. Xiao Yuan" can be removed.
The current practice at music festivals is for each artist to share the prizes, and everyone who comes is guaranteed to receive an award, but Stary's Best Newcomer award is still very important. This year, there are not only groups but also solo idols and singers who debuted, but none of them can beat Stary's strength.
The emerging musicians recognized the quality of Stary's album of the same name. Five of them went on stage to receive the award together with a folk singer. Pei Zijin made his second speech today. After thanking the fans again, he also briefly mentioned his gratitude to the company for its support and thanked Yuan Xiao himself very much.
The live broadcast room was filled with a string of Haha .... The sharp-eyed fans had already discovered that Yuan Xiao was sitting in the audience and teased Stary for pretending to be "supporting the boss".
At the moment, Yuanxin's hot searches are in the middle of a string of purchased styling hot searches, but in today's highly competitive environment, two of them are on the list. One is naturally that Stary's styling today is the best today. Even some high-end clothes are not as suitable as the one worn by the five today. In the competition among all the people's pictures, they swept the passers-by with their youth and good looks.
The other one turned out to be Yuan Xiao. Her pretty face was tucked in a furry coat. The soft material of the clothes neutralized her cold temperament very well. Walking among a group of virtualized executives, she had an air of being the moon surrounded by stars. I don’t know why she had sneaked into the list of female stars.
Under her hot search terms, there were people who had never watched the talent show asking who this was, and there were actually fans of the show "I Have No Hope" and Stary's group who answered enthusiastically in the square.
"She's our beautiful boss, the chief producer and her agent."
"In fact, it is Yuanxin's real number one sister (I am sure)."
The publicity department sent a message to Yuan Xiao, asking the boss if they needed her to buy more hot searches.
Yuan Xiao was helpless and replied: "Just buy a high seat for the group, as for mine... don't worry about it, and don't withdraw deliberately, just let it go."
In the car on the way to the cocktail party later, Yuan Xiao opened her phone and took another look at the hot search terms. She was helpless to find that the thing had not been put down yet, and someone had quickly collected a few Amway pictures in her square to educate passers-by who clicked in without knowing who she was and what her deeds were, and to help Stary get some of the boss's popularity.
Well, the memory of the Internet is updated so quickly, and Yuan Xiao is no longer the same person who was almost blackened by the entire network back then.
When Yuan Xiao arrived at the cocktail party, she changed into a more convenient dress. Her goal was very clear. She took a drink and walked towards a middle-aged man with a sad face in the corner of the venue.
"Mr. Yang."
Yuan Xiao had never seen the man called Mr. Yang at the ceremony just now. It was only through an introduction that she found out that this man was the one who was planning to sell the company recently.
We are all bosses of entertainment companies. The circle is not big, so we can hear some news more or less. Mr. Yang looked at Yuan Xiao and smiled politely: "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry, my company has had some problems recently, and your variety show may..."
"Boss Yang." Yuan Xiao was straightforward and stated the purpose of his visit without any polite words: "Can you transfer the contracts of all the female trainees in your company to me?"
"What?"
Mr. Yang's Blue Sky Media is not as big as Yuanxin. It mainly deals with female trainees and female idols, and also has singers under its banner. When Yuan Xiao was making the variety show lineup, he had read the profiles of the artists of this company. They basically signed trainees and sent them to talent shows to train artists, but in recent years, none of their trainees have made their debut, and the signed artists have all returned from the disbandment of limited groups, so they did not consider inviting them.
Perhaps for this reason, Yuan Xiao was not surprised when he heard that the company was being transferred due to poor management.
She had no plans to acquire the company, as Yuanxin had enough staff now. However, when several people at the ceremony talked about Lantian's assets and artists in a relaxed and slightly regretful tone, Yuan Xiao suddenly remembered a few young faces that she had seen in the information.
If the company is transferred, or if the transfer is unsuccessful and it needs to downsize or go bankrupt, what will happen to these trainees who may even owe the company money?
Yuan Xiao is not a saint, but she can give these trainees who have been training for several years a chance.
"Contracts for eight trainees." Yuan Xiao was very sure that she could make this deal. "Please think about it, Mr. Yang. If you want to transfer the company, the artists under your company are fine, but the trainees will definitely be just extras or simply laid off. I can help pay for part of the training costs."
"Mr. Yang, please consider it. If we come to Yuanxin, it will be a good choice for the trainees."
"We can add the contact information. As long as you agree, I will immediately ask Yuanxin's legal department to draft a contract."
