75 Public opinion
For the trainees who have been training in the practice room all the time, going out to watch the game together is like an outing.
The election management sisters usually don't deliberately lock them up in the hotel and don't let them go out. During the breaks in the middle of the week, they will allow them to go out in groups of three or two. As long as they return to the hotel when roll call is taken every night, it can be considered a combination of travel and rest.
Xia Wentao and Song Lianqing were having a blast, doing the citywalk in the middle of the week, and screaming and cheering for their seniors on Friday. Finally, they got sick when they returned to Beijing, and their voices were so hoarse when they went to the meeting with Yuan Xiao that they couldn't speak.
Yuan Xiao looked at the small groups of trainees wearing masks in the practice room, feeling a little helpless.
"Have you given them cold medicine?" She turned to ask the selection staff, and reminded them to drink more hot water. As usual, the thermos bottles of the trainees in each period of Yuan Xin are checked. The girls are the same as the boys before. The staff will watch them drink water, take care of their skin, have regular physical examinations, etc.
It is the time when the seasons change from spring to summer, and it is easy to get sick.
There is no need to explain anything more about the recording process of the second season. Practice makes perfect. Everyone from the program group to the staff knows exactly what they should do. Yuan Xiao has already decided that the overall framework of the second season will be the same as the first season, and will also start practicing with the theme song.
The purpose of this meeting is to announce the start of recording of the program. The trainees of the second phase have more time to prepare the theme song and the first public performance than they did in the first phase. They will start rehearsing the theme song first, and will start officially recording the pilot and selecting songs for the first public performance next week.
The production team will restart recording after today. Tomorrow afternoon, the crew teachers will go to the practice room and cafeteria and set up cameras in various places in Yuanxin's company building. The difference is that this year's girl group season will not have dormitory recording footage like last year. All program content will only be released from recordings in public areas.
These are what will be announced to the trainees at today's meeting. After the recording officially begins, they have a lot of things to pay attention to in front of the camera. Although this is hard work, it also makes it clear that Yuanxin will not exaggerate certain things to create program effects.
However, the corresponding program materials cannot be lacking, which will require the trainees to work harder and record some simple mini-games and other rich content in addition to rehearsals.
This time, the theme song "Around the World" was produced by Fu Daoyun. Teacher Gu failed in the bid for the lyrics and music production of the girl group song, but he was convinced and said that your brother will always be your brother.
Of course, there is a more important reason. Yuan Xiao wanted a girl group theme song that was not so girl group-like, and "Around the World" happened to be such a song. There is a kind of gentle rebelliousness in the lyrics and music written by Fu Daoyun, which is inexplicably a bit like Yuan Xiao's first impression of Teacher Fu.
The lyrics and music were sent to each trainee. Mo Shuangzhu scanned the whole thing at a glance, read it directly, and began to hum along with the beats. The more he read, the more excited he became.
This is not an ordinary sweet song without any meaning. On the contrary, the song shows a very firm attitude. It turns out that her worries that she is not likable enough are all groundless. The program has gently expressed its attitude: they just need to be themselves.
"When the world presses the mute button to force me to surrender, all the boos become the oxygen I breathe, and the returned dreams are tempered into steel in the tears..."
Xin Mengting looked at the lyrics and suddenly felt a little sad.
She has made up her mind to try it one last time. If she fails to debut on the show this time, she will give up completely and never mention debuting as a group again.
She didn't even dare to give herself too much hope. After training here for such a long time, she had long discovered that the training intensity here at Yuanxin was several times that of her old club. Correspondingly, the trainees' abilities were also improving very quickly. She and several other trainees who transferred here had a few more years of training experience, but they were brought back to the same level in a very short time.
The show is being aired now, and if the production team doesn't specifically mark the length of time each person practices, they might not stand out among the trainees.
It's not that easy not to surrender.
The music department has already prepared a complete arrangement for the theme song, and they can start recording as soon as the trainees are done practicing. The choreography is also being carried out simultaneously. Yuan Xin's idol department is running like a whole sophisticated machine. Yuan Xiao has divided each group into two halves, one responsible for the boy group and the other for the girl group. Now that the boy group is in seclusion creating, there will be a little more staff in charge of the girl group, and further adjustments will be made after the show ends.
After Yuan Xiao finished the meeting with the second-term students, he also instructed the publicity department to start recruiting audience members for the first public performance.
This time, there is an additional condition for the audience invitation letter. If you have been to the scene in the first season and left a trace in Yuanxin’s database, you will be given priority and entered first if you register again this time.
Like the other artists under her, Yuan Xiao is very grateful to the fans who have always supported her and the company, and is also looking forward to the creation and gathering of family fans.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Xiao will still choose 5-7 girl group members to form the final lineup for this season's show. As for large groups, according to her idea, they will not be put on the agenda until the market expands again. This period may be short or long, and may even take several years.
But Yuan Xiao is very patient. She has planned the boy and girl groups for three years into the future. She will never be idle in Yuan Xin.
The boy group and girl group entered the preparation period at the same time. The female trainees of the second phase returned to the life of spending every day in the practice room, practicing from the theme song to the first public performance. Stary, on the other hand, locked themselves in the study and piano room and began the hard work of creation, which was both painful and joyful.
In a month, apart from Stary’s micro-variety show which is still being updated on a daily basis, other departments of Yuanxin have not made any major moves.
The little satellites had just watched high-quality performances for three months, and they had lost the excitement of Fridays for a while, feeling a little lost. Yuan Xiao was also worried that Stary's brain would be stuck in a dead end if he stayed in the house every day writing songs, so he asked the publicity department to find them to record some materials every few days. Sometimes they would play a small game, and sometimes they would go outside for a walk, do some exercise, play ball, etc.
With these micro-variety materials being released, singing at music festivals, and the announcement of the preparation of Stary's second album in daily live broadcasts, the fans' needs for chasing stars are fully met, and he will not disappear without a word.
Up to now, there has been no delay in the news released by Yuanxin. As long as the news can be announced to the public, it must have been fully prepared and will be launched on time.
Yuan Xiao was more relaxed during this period. She no longer needed to be watched over all the time. She also had time to go out for a walk in the evening, sometimes by herself, and sometimes Gu Yuchen would come over. Anyway, it was only a few steps from her home to the company, so he would walk there and chat while sending Yuan Xiao home. After returning home, Teacher Gu would have to spend another two hours in the gym to meet his exercise needs.
Such rare leisurely days continued until the eve of the launch of the second season of "I Have Not Seen You". While the materials for the girl group season were being rolled out, Yuanxin's publicity department also monitored some unusual public opinions on the Internet.
After receiving the publicity news, Yuan Xiao went directly to their level. The person in charge of the publicity group showed Yuan Xiao the public opinions about Stary that they had monitored the day before, and explained to her most of the jargon used in the group.
To be honest, Yuan Xiao doesn’t really want to watch it.
Stary now has tens of millions of fans on a single platform, and is considered the most popular group in the domestic entertainment industry. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the top stream now. With such a large fan base, some very few groups have gathered all kinds of insulting black fans, and the remarks in them seem like mental pollution, just like a shadow in the sun. Every time you get rid of one, a new one will appear when the sun rises.
While listening to the lecture, Yuan Xiao sighed silently in his heart, monitoring is also quite hard work, this month's bonus will be given more to the publicity team, which can be regarded as compensation for mental damage.
The publicity staff summarized the information in the group, which was basically some gossip about Su Chen that was hard to tell whether true or false. On average, a group could produce ten pieces of news like this for each person in Stary every day. They just needed to be handled according to the corresponding procedures and did not need to be reported to Yuan Xiao. But this time it was a little different.
This revelation that sparked discussion in the group was posted simultaneously by different accounts with different wording styles but the same meaning. All of them were about Su Chen's family situation. The specific situation was vague, but they all swore that the fans posted because they saw solid evidence. Some of them responded, some pretended to be in pain and collapsed, and some pretended to stop being fans. It was quite lively.
Passersby may not understand this method of laying clues, but Yuan Xiao and the staff of the publicity team understood it at a glance.
This is definitely not something a serious fan would do. They post so intensively, just waiting to spark discussion, and then throw out the information they have, whether it is true or false. When netizens see the hot search, they will follow what they think are clues to find out, and then contact marketing accounts to easily link rumors and black material to an artist. People always believe that what they have discovered with great effort is the truth.
Yuan Xiao couldn't help but think of the time when she first met Su Chen. The boy has now grown into a mature idol artist, but his eyes are still as clear and innocent as when they first met.
Yuan Xiao knew about his family situation, and she could guess that the so-called black material was nothing more than accusing his parents of their financial situation, exaggerating and attacking them as so-called "deadbeats." But to be honest, from the first day Su Chen joined the company, Yuan Xiao had been prepared for the public opinion that his family situation might cause.
When Su Chen debuted as a group last year, the company had already paid for the financial disputes and debts caused by poor management in Su Chen's family. By the beginning of this year, Su Chen's debts to the company were also completely paid off. At least since his debut, it has been impossible to find any financial disputes on any platform. The so-called evidence that may be available may only be the financial records before his debut. As long as the current record information is made public as soon as possible, the rumors can be completely refuted.
The family's poor business performance is not Su Chen's problem. After knowing the news, Su Chen did not evade it and has been actively facing the pressure of repayment with his family. If this were to be made public, it might become a source of fodder for fans to abuse, but Yuan Xiao and Su Chen himself would not do this on purpose.
Yuan Xiao explained to the publicity department that this batch of posts and accounts should be reported first, and should be banned if necessary. During this period, they should keep people on duty on the publicity side, and if there are any bought black hot searches, they should release the edited clarification announcement and legal statement as soon as possible.
We should also give legal colleagues some opportunities to receive bonuses.
For Yuan Xiao now, the most important thing is to find out the source of these posts.
Such organized, disciplined, premeditated and planned waves of negative information against Stary members could never be done by one or two black fans who don't like Stary. Just like similar marketing, it costs a lot of money, and because it is illegal, the price is even more expensive.
With Yuan Xiao's temper, it is impossible for her to just swallow this anger. Today, she can monitor public opinion in time and prepare a response plan, but she can't be so passive every time. It is impossible to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Today they are targeting Su Chen. If the people behind the scenes don't want Stary to take up the majority of the market share, then attacking each member of Stary one by one will make the fans within the group suspicious of each other, leading to internal strife. The fans of the group will take advantage of the situation to attack each other, splitting the group's fans into only four or three. This is the simplest and most vicious way to destroy this rising group.
"First, call the marketing studio we know and ask them if they know who has taken this kind of order recently. See if you can find out which company it is from. If you need more money, go to the finance department to approve it."
After giving the publicity order, Yuan Xiao returned to the office and made a long-distance call to his parents who were now in New Zealand. After achieving results, he turned to his family for help again after a long absence.
"Mommy, do you know any network technology experts or trustworthy information network security companies?"
