90 Family Prototype
Small music performances such as livehouses also need to be approved. No matter how enthusiastic the audience is, if the performance exceeds the time limit, a fine will still be imposed.
So when the time came, Meng Xingyan went backstage with Gu Yuchen. As expected, Meng Xingyan had mentioned Gu Yuchen's name when he was on the stage just now. He didn't know that Yuan Xiao also came with them and was recognized by the fans. He was still wondering why the audience was so excited when he only introduced Gu Yuchen.
The fans were afraid that their little singer had offended President Yuan Xin, so they shouted in disappointment from the audience, "Don't forget to thank President Yuan too." Meng Xingyan tried hard to figure out what they were talking about for a long time, but still didn't know.
Forget it, it’s good enough that there were no shouting about bankruptcy today.
After returning to the backstage, he changed into his stage clothes first, hugged Gu Yuchen who came down from upstairs, and said to him with a smile: "There will be a celebration banquet later. Do you have any other plans? Let's go together?"
He and Gu Yuchen met on a variety show many years ago, but they were not familiar with each other at that time. Meng Xingyan has a good personality and is also an original musician. When Gu's previous group disbanded, he went to study for a few years. It happened that Meng Xingyan was in the same college as him and was one year older than him. After a few years, they became more familiar with each other until today.
Just as Gu Yuchen was about to explain that he came here with Yuan Xiao, Xu Fang came over. Gu Yuchen turned around and saw their beautiful boss leaning against the wall behind the crowd, looking at him with a faint gaze.
So he smiled, leaving space for Xu Fang who was anxiously synchronizing messages with Meng Xingyan, and he separated the crowd of staff and band members and walked to Yuan Xiao.
"It's pretty good." Yuan Xiao spoke before him, "The backstage sound effects are also good, and there should be more reverberation effects."
Gu Yuchen knew what Yuan Xiao meant, so he asked Yuan Xiao, "Old Meng said they're going to have a celebration party soon, do you want to go? If not, we can go get some midnight snacks."
Teacher Gu is a very good dining partner and is not picky about food. When Yuan Xiao eats with him, he can order as many dishes as he wants to try without worrying about wasting food.
There is nothing happier than having a midnight snack after a concert. Yuan Xiao nodded and said, "Let's have a midnight snack. They may not be comfortable if I go over there. But there should be quite a few people at the backstage exit right now. We can leave later."
Shooting after get off work is a standard feature of major concerts, crews and variety show recordings. At this moment, there are about dozens of people at the back exit of the staff, and Yuan Xiao doesn't want to go out and walk around under the flash lights.
Gu Yuchen also thought of it, and said with a bit of relief: "Fortunately, Lao Meng didn't have any autograph sessions during the tour, otherwise it would have been difficult to leave."
"It's not possible to finish the interview at 12 o'clock." Yuan Xiao thought for a while and said. However, the tickets for the tour without the interview were still sold out. Meng Xingyan's fans are quite loyal.
“If you just sign albums without any interaction, it will be over soon.” Gu Yuchen thought about it. Although he himself had never held a signing session, many of his friends had done so. In the entertainment industry, only a few people can really open large venues. Under the current laws of communication, the audience for music styles is relatively fixed, and most small singers still hold more live shows.
"No interaction? Then each person will only be together for less than ten seconds at most... This is quite a broad-based way of spreading the food." All I can say is that it is love, but it is indeed very thin.
"There is no other way. We have to remove the equipment. Every day of delay means more venue costs."
The two chatted for a few words, and Meng Xingyan's work team urgently aligned the granularity. The singer himself also walked towards Yuan Xiao and the others, with glitter from stage makeup still on his face.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Yuan, thank you for coming to support us today. I'm sorry for not hosting you well."
"No way." Gu Yuchen reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "The new song is good."
"You guys go celebrate. We won't go. We have something else to do at the company tomorrow. Let's make an appointment another day."
Meng Xingyan looked a little regretful, but didn't say much. Yuan Xiao's current status in the circle is almost to the point where he is the center of attention wherever he goes. If he wasn't a friend with a good personality, Teacher Gu would not have suggested that Yuan Xiao come over to play.
Yuan Xiao noticed that Xu Fang seemed a little anxious, but since Meng Xingyan didn't say anything in the end, she didn't say anything either. It seemed that the artists still had the final say in their studio, which was not bad this way.
Having a group of like-minded fans who recognize your music, and being able to write songs and organize tours is already the ideal life for many people.
On the way back, Yuan Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Yuchen who was driving: "Xu Fang and Meng Xingyan?"
"They've been boyfriend and girlfriend for many years. Although they didn't publicize it, they didn't hide it either. Most of his old fans know about it." Gu Yuchen knew that idols were not allowed to date within Yuanxin, so he helped explain it, worried that Yuan Xiao would have an opinion.
Yuan Xiao nodded, and she spoke.
She has a lot of opinions about idols dating, because idols are a profession that sells dreams and fantasies, and creating illusions is the professional ethics of being an idol. But for original singers and talented actors who don't follow the persona route, that's fine, it's their own choice whether to choose work or life. Yuan Xiao has no opinion on this.
It is not uncommon for artists in the circle to fall in love with their agents. When one party is completely tied to the other's career and takes care of the other party in every possible way, it is very normal for feelings to develop, especially for independent artists and agents. Relatively speaking, companies will still prohibit such things from happening, just like Yuanxin. Often an agent is responsible for the work of multiple artists. When emotional factors are mixed in, many things become difficult to control.
Is the distribution of resources fair? If they break up, will they never contact each other again? These are all problems. Yuan Xiao cannot spend all his time being a gold medal mediator, so Yuan Xin does not allow emotional entanglements between artists and staff, but it is free for staff to do so.
If both parties are determined to talk, that's fine, as long as one party resigns.
"It's good." Teacher Gu said, it's really good, at least he won't lose his job because of falling in love with his immediate boss.
After all, Yuan Xiao will not give him any resources, but will only give him more work.
-
In a few days, the fifth public recording of "I Love You" will begin. The second season is more than halfway through its broadcast, and the debut night is just around the corner.
The planning department for the second season's special originally wanted to do some other activities based on the differences between boys and girls, but Yuan Xiao stared at them in the meeting and asked, "What's the reason why female trainees can't do sports meets?"
"Who are you feeling bad for and unwilling to watch?"
In the end, the entire plan only removed the original water events. Yuan Xiao changed the last event of the group to tug-of-war, which made it look a lot more hardcore than last year.
But, to be honest, based on Yuan Xiao's understanding of the girls, it's hard to say who is more powerful.
The trainees of Yuanxin never exaggerate their weakness. The busiest room in both the male and female trainees' floors is the gym. The length of the concert does not differ much depending on whether they are male or female. The girls also lift weights to build muscles. A few of the physically fit ones can be called little monsters, and they are fought over in the groups before the tug-of-war competition.
Mo Shuangzhu has already bonded with her dear roommate and made herself look like a fan of Taozi. Xia Wentao is unusually popular at the moment and she is a little helpless. No matter how she tells them that tug-of-war is won by weight and not strength, they don't believe it. They are more blindly obedient to Xia Wentao's immense strength than she is.
In fact, she was just being modest. Leng Ci and Xia Wentao were assigned to the same team. The two of them were at the head and tail of the team and almost pulled the other side away.
Yuan Xiao, who was acting as the referee, could not help but quietly move back. The girls were trying too hard, just like little leopards. No matter whether they were the athletes on the field or the cheerleaders who were temporarily cheering on the audience, each one was more fierce than the other. In the dribbling segment, Leng Ci and Song Lianqing were in a group, and they took a different approach and directly picked up the latter and ran with the ball. How could this not be considered as not touching the ball with their hands?
Yuan Xiao had to try his best to control his mental state like a firefighter, just like the trainees last year. The editing of this episode was also a tough job for the sound engineer and post-production teachers, as separating each audio track was a huge project.
But after this episode is aired, it means that the trainees’ noisy and happy days will only last for the last three weeks.
After the fifth public recording is over, the only stage waiting for the trainees is the final debut night of the group. Whether it is "life" or "death", Yuan Xiao will decide it with one word.
Yuanxin Company is now an expert at live streaming, from its debut in the first season to the live competition of "Heart Dance Stage". This year's finals will also be broadcast live on multiple platforms.
For this reason, Yuan Xiao went to the platform several times to renegotiate, because she wanted to put the backstage live broadcast camera of the group night in Yuan Xin's own program this year, which could be regarded as another wave of traffic to the APP, but this would inevitably affect the platform's revenue.
If there is not enough profit, the platform is certainly not doing charity and it is impossible to give channels and users to other companies for free. The original intention of separating the sales of its own peripherals has already affected the platform's income.
Considering the influence and popularity of "I Don't Want to Be" it cannot be said to be completely unprofitable. Several major domestic video platforms have approached Yuan Xiao to obtain the exclusive authorization for the debut night live broadcast. Yuan Xiao's idea of broadcasting simultaneously on multiple platforms has been repeatedly rejected.
It is no longer just a question of profit distribution. Partners from several platforms all want to obtain exclusive cooperation with Yuanxin Company, which is forcing Yuanxin to choose one of them for deep binding. Yuan Xiao suspects that they are probably worried that Yuanxin's "Yuanxin Planet" APP will develop into a new long video platform, so they start looking for ways to restrict it in advance.
Yuan Xiao tried to talk to them several times but couldn't come to an agreement. Even someone who usually had a stable mood started to lose his temper and wanted to just do it himself.
Aren’t they trying to force Yuan Xin to exclusively cooperate with them in future variety shows? If Yuan Xin could also have its own video platform…
It's a bit difficult.
Yuan Xiao enumerated the resources she currently had on hand, and found that she was still 99.9 percent short of the reserves needed to build a platform. If she started broadcasting only on "Yuanxin Planet" now, it would really be exclusively for fans.
It is often not a good thing for a circle to become too closed and exclusive.
Yuan Xiao reinvested part of her revenue into the start-up funds for the construction of offline venues in various places. The first investment was just to survey the available land. The official construction had to wait until the number and location of the venues were determined and the right to use the land was leased before the architects could design it. It would take at least one to two years until the venues were officially launched and put into operation. This part of the budget was not to be used immediately. Yuan Xiao roughly calculated that after deducting the production and promotion costs for Stary's new EP and the girl group's debut album, there was still some money left, which allowed her to invest in a few simple dramas during this period.
Her first consideration was not some big production that was said to be a hit in the industry, but some relatively small-scale independent scripts that would allow her to obtain all the copyrights.
Anyway, the company already has actors, so there is no need to worry about not finding suitable casting.
With its own dramas, its own concert and music festival ticket sales, its own offline venues and its own variety shows, it has only now begun to truly form the complete concept of the "Yuanxin Family" that Yuan Xiao envisioned. No matter what kind of entertainment you want, you can find it in the Yuanxin system, and you never have to worry about not having enough freshness. Although Yuanxin is an entertainment company, within the family system, entertainment can be unlimited.
