Chapter 80
Sun Yuexi never expected that she would receive a call from Yuexiang Entertainment Company in the dormitory.
She was sitting at her desk, catching up on her homework, when her phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She picked up the call, and a young woman's voice came from the other end: "Hello, I'm from Yuexiang Entertainment. Are you Ms. Sun, the author of the comics I sent you a while ago?"
Her first reaction was: Could it be a scam call?
In her imagination, the best outcome would be for the members to actually see the comic strip that she had spent two years drawing.
As a result, it was not only delivered to them, but also passed to the senior management of Yuexiang Entertainment Company.
Are you contacting me now? I want to talk to you about cooperation.
What did Yuexiang Entertainment say? They wanted to help me publish and promote this comic?!
She really wasn't dreaming, was she? After hanging up the phone, Sun Yuexi still couldn't believe the string of highly informative words she had just heard from the Yuexiang Entertainment staff.
But the other party accurately told her the content of the comics she sent and the information on the express delivery, and also added her contact information.
The staff member who contacted her not only took photos of his work ID and the working environment of Yuexiang Entertainment Company and gave them to her, but also asked her to come to Yuexiang Entertainment Company directly next week to discuss some specific matters about comics.
I looked at the photos he sent me several times and thought about what he said. Is this real? This isn't a scam, and I'm not dreaming.
Sun Yuexi hit her head hard and let out a cry of pain.
At this time, all the other roommates in the dormitory were out, leaving her alone.
Having largely dispelled her suspicions, she immediately called her best friend. As soon as she answered, Sun Yuexi screamed with the incredible news: "The comics I drew for them were actually seen! Yuexiang Entertainment even called me, wanting to discuss a partnership!"
The friend was stunned for a few seconds when she heard the scream from the phone. Then she immediately raised her voice in surprise and kept asking on the other end of the phone: "Is this true? You are not lying, are you?"
"When did you take it? I didn't even know! Oh my god, that's so great. Ahhhh, I'm so happy for you too!"
After talking to her bestie on the phone, her excitement was still high. She also wanted to tell her family and other friends about the good news.
As soon as the call was made, she immediately hung up again.
No, no, it's not finalized yet. The other party just informed her to come and discuss the cooperation. How will the cooperation be carried out specifically, and will it be possible? What if the discussion ends up falling apart? It's better to wait until she returns from Yuexiang Entertainment Company to discuss it.
Although, she had immediately imagined that she might be hired in advance by Yuexiang Entertainment to do various collaborations such as art work.
Not only can she get the group's autographs, but she can even have her comics displayed at Yuexiang Entertainment!
I'd heard before that Yuexiang Entertainment had bought another building nearby, intending to turn it into a place for fans to visit and consume. The upper floors would be used as offices and practice rooms.
The lower floor will be used as a dedicated company merchandise store, as well as a two-story display area.
The first floor will display the honors, photos, and special commemorative items won by the artists of Yuexiang Entertainment Company. It will also create some interactive machines and images for operation and viewing.
The other layer will select representative fan support items and gifts for display, recording the fans' most sincere love for their idols.
When fans of Yuexiang Entertainment's artists heard the news, they were all extremely excited. Sun Yuexi also thought that once the venue was open, she would be the first to go.
I didn’t expect it! Yuexiang Entertainment actually contacted me, praising my comics, saying they were so carefully drawn and so good, and wanted to collaborate with me!
Regardless of whether the cooperation I want will be successful in the end, it’s great to be able to visit Yuexiang Entertainment in advance!
Thinking that she might have the chance to meet the six members, she even started thinking about what to wear when she went to Yuexiang Entertainment Company!
When I think about how many people like them, and how many gifts are sent to Yuexiang Entertainment Company every year, I feel that being treated like this proves that my comics are really excellent!
Sun Xiyue is currently a junior art student. It was during her senior year that she fell in love with the recently-risen Moonlight Boys group and has been hooked ever since.
Although the six members were obviously younger than her, the training videos they kept up with were the spiritual support that accompanied her through the most confusing and difficult period of her senior year in high school.
Afterwards, she was successfully admitted to her ideal university and major, and the six members of the Moonlight Boys Group also developed better and better.
Her feelings for this group grew deeper as time went by.
At the beginning, she only occasionally drew some portraits of the members based on her expertise, which unexpectedly received praise from many fans and also made her gain a lot of fans on the Internet.
Not only did she meet many like-minded friends, but two of her works were also reprinted by the official Yuexiang Entertainment and she received gifts from the company.
This also inspired her who had just entered university. Being able to use her strengths to draw what she likes and gain recognition and love from others, is there anything more gratifying than this?
She has always loved painting, so she worked even harder in her professional studies. She hopes that one day she can become a very good and outstanding painter.
Record the stories between the six members and even work with them in person one day.
Last year, when Sun Yuexi was reviewing the boys' pre-debut videos, she suddenly had an idea. She wanted to use her free time to draw a comic book for the members to record their growth.
Before this, she had never received professional training on how to draw a comic book. She just drew it day by day based on her professional foundation, her reading experience as a comic reader, and some tutorials on the Internet.
The first print is still in her home. After she finished it, she felt that it was too shabby to present and the content was too thin, so she made a lot of revisions based on the first copy.
After sending this work, which had incorporated countless efforts, passion and time, to Yuexiang Entertainment Company, she actually felt a little melancholy and regretful.
Even if Yuexiang Entertainment said they would take every fan's kindness seriously, Moonlight Boys was so popular that there must be too many fans sending them gifts. Was it possible that their comics would go unseen and instead be piled up in a dark warehouse along with other gifts?
When her roommates asked why she hadn't seen the comics she'd drawn, she lied and said she'd put them back home, not daring to tell them the truth. She'd spent so much time working on something and just mailed it away!
I didn't expect Yuexiang Entertainment to be as good as it said! There really are staff members who carefully organize and treat every gift!
At the appointed time, Sun Yuexi walked into Yuexiang Entertainment Company with curiosity. She came to the place where the members trained, worked and lived daily, a place she had seen countless times in videos. Her heart was filled with excitement!
When they arrived at the agreed small meeting room, the staff of Yuexiang Entertainment Company had already arrived early. They stood up and shook hands with her politely, and started to flatter her so much that Sun Yuexi was almost stunned by the praise.
There was a stack of information and the comic book on the table. The staff then talked to her about the stories and experiences behind her drawing comics, and also talked about how Sun Yuexi fell in love with the members.
After praising her and her comics, the staff actually asked her if she was interested in interning or working at Yuexiang Entertainment Company when she is a senior next year.
Then he briefly talked about the salary and benefits of some YueXiang Entertainment-related positions, which are really good.
Was she chasing after stars, and had she managed to get her work done? Sun Yuexi was even more confused. Was it just for the sake of chasing stars? Yuexiang Entertainment was already a medium-to-large company in the entertainment industry.
If their main business is not still concentrated on idol artists, and they are extremely particular about quality in artist management and program production, the scale of Yuexiang Entertainment would definitely not be what it is today.
But even if they focus on idol artists, the company's overall influence, strength and revenue are definitely comparable to those of large-scale comprehensive entertainment companies.
They boast the most popular boy and girl groups; a pool of trainees with the highest overall skill, beloved by aspiring idols; numerous nationally recognized long-running variety shows; the idol-exclusive music program "Hello, Idol!", which has become a true indicator of idol prowess and popularity; and increasingly shining hosts, variety talent, and actors, models, and variety artists selected from the trainees.
In fact, with this calculation, Yuexiang Entertainment really cannot be classified as a medium-sized entertainment company. It has indeed become a behemoth in the entertainment industry.
Yuexiang Entertainment is well-known for its good treatment, great atmosphere and promising prospects. It is definitely a good choice for any young job seeker.
As a fan, Sun Yuexi naturally understood that it was becoming increasingly difficult to get into Yuexiang Entertainment. A senior from her previous class also joined Yuexiang Entertainment and was one of his outstanding graduates.
Sun Yuexi nodded quickly: "I do, I do!"
She thought she was lucky enough, but then the staff member came up with another piece of news that was going to knock her out.
Yuexiang Entertainment intends to revise and improve her work before publishing and promoting it.
If she also has this intention, professionals responsible for comic production and publishing will come over later, and everyone will discuss the specific direction of comic modification.
If she really doesn't want to make changes, Yuexiang Entertainment will respect her wishes.
Because everyone's common wish is that the Moonlight Boys Group can get better and better, and we also hope that more and more people will know about this group, and that people other than fans will have a better understanding of the idol profession.
Sun Yuexi was originally feeling a little disappointed because she didn't have the chance to see the members today. However, after hearing the sincere invitation from the Yuexiang Entertainment staff, she was filled with emotion and quickly agreed.
After chatting for a while with the staff in charge of comic publishing who came over later, Sun Yuexi felt that the several changes and suggestions they proposed were not a big problem.
She really couldn't say anything other than gratitude, touching and thankful.
Yuexiang Entertainment could have found a dedicated comics company or studio to create similar comics. The copyrights to the characters and events belonged to Yuexiang Entertainment, so it wouldn't be a big problem if they didn't go through her.
She was even more moved by the respect shown by Yuexiang Entertainment and the love of its staff for Moonlight Boys and the idol profession.
No wonder it can produce today's most popular idols. It almost single-handedly pushed the entire idol industry from decline to prosperity, and set the best example in terms of interests and conscience.
In the past, her focus was only on the artists, but in just one morning, she deeply felt the corporate culture and pursuit of Yuexiang Entertainment Company.
When she walked out, she not only became a scheduled employee, but also became a die-hard fan of the company!
Moreover, in the future, she and her idol will be working in the same company!
So, Sun Yuexi, who came out of Yuexiang Entertainment Company in a daze, called home belatedly to tell them.
I...found a job because of my idol pursuit, and I'm going to publish a comic book!
Next, in addition to her regular class and homework time, Sun Yuexi devoted herself to drawing the new comic. This time, with the guidance and help of a professional team and the foundation of the original comic, the new comic progressed very quickly!
Here, the comics still need some time, and a video of a mysterious girl made by a video editing expert has become popular on the Internet!
The up master edited a story about the revenge of the dark princess based on various video materials since the debut of the mysterious girl.
Using the looks and shots of the five members of Mysterious Girl in music videos, performances, red carpets, and several variety shows as material, this professional video editor managed to create a micro-film of more than four minutes with a dramatic plot, a clear main line, and extremely high-end images.
Because of Yuexiang Entertainment's support for fan production, many fans of the two groups and their trainees have edited and produced videos of their favorite idols.
As long as the content isn't deliberately spoofed, distorted, or inappropriate, Yuexiang Entertainment will not interfere with, and even encourages, the use of these materials. So, this industry veteran, who had recently fallen in love with the Mysterious Girl, immediately searched for various materials about the subject, contacted Yuexiang Entertainment, and worked through the night for several days to create this work.
The staff of Yuexiang Entertainment Company did not realize that this person's skills were so advanced, because the other party's account on the video platform was obviously a small account.
However, the staff immediately discovered on the Internet that the video was showing signs of becoming popular and reported the situation to their superiors.
When Su Yin finally opened the video, the number of reposts and clicks on the video had skyrocketed, and it became a hot topic.
The plot tells the story of five innocent and romantic princesses after the sudden death of their father, the king. The grieving princesses were comforted by the ministers and gradually met their own destiny and suitors.
But some pictures whose purpose is unclear and the expressions on everyone's faces that seem sunny but are covered with a layer of gray, and the high-end picture tones make this story more complicated.
In the end, the five princesses beheaded the ministers and suitors who plotted to murder the king, and walked slowly up to the throne side by side. They had long seen that those people actually wanted to get the position of king, but men, love and sympathy are not as important as family affection and rights.
In the end, the seemingly innocent princess, wearing a dark grand dress, became the queen who dominated the fate of the country.
This video producer is really amazing in video editing, music composition, etc.
As a professional idol who debuted for two years, Mysterious Girl does not have as much video material to edit as actors.
But the other party managed to make a wonderful blockbuster!
This video has not only been enthusiastically sought after by fans of the mysterious girl, but has also been recognized by ordinary netizens, touching the excitement points of countless people!
It directly became the most popular video on M Station that day!
When Su Yin opened the video, there were already dense comments of various kinds.
"High energy ahead! Please pay attention."
"Will I ever be able to see a movie with a plot like this in my lifetime?"
"Save the child, I can't get out."
"Yes, it's me again. I'm back."
"This damn plot, this damn charm! Killing like crazy!"
"Exit the Princess, Enter the Queen."
More and more people are sharing this video on various social media platforms, saying that these four minutes of plot beat many other theatrical movies! It's a must-see!
As a result, many people have rediscovered the mysterious girl's previous stage performances, styling and variety show performances.
I found that although this group is not as deep-minded as the blackened queen shown in the video, they do have a rare cool and domineering style. The ambition and fighting spirit of these five girls can be clearly seen from their words and actions.
Many people were attracted by the video directly, and were impressed by the appearance and stage charm of these five girls, and even became fans of the mysterious girls.
In a girls' dormitory at S University, Xiao Meng, who doesn't usually chase stars, also saw this video on the social platform.
Because her roommate happened to be a fan of this group, she recognized these girls at a glance. Originally, she had no interest in videos edited by this kind of idol group.
But many people had already forwarded the video on her homepage and praised it, so she took a look too.
The result was a shock. Is this really just a homemade video? This group's company really didn't hire someone to shoot it!
This full blockbuster visual feeling, it is clearly just the five idol members, but under the magic skills of the editor, every picture is very textured, which makes her see the perfect acting skills.
Afterwards, there was a soundtrack comparable to that of a professional movie, with all kinds of beautiful and profound images, a fast rhythm, full of power and reversals. When she heard those people in the darkness talking about how they could become king as long as they married these five princesses, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Finally, seeing that they had already seen through the conspiracy and were just playing along, the five princesses slapped everyone in the face. They killed the enemy who had plotted against their father, and stepped on a group of ministers and nobles to ascend the throne, revealing the cold expression of a true queen.
Xiao Meng instantly got goosebumps all over her body, and completely got the beauty and dark charm of the five members of Mysterious Girl.
Coincidentally, her roommate who was a fan of the mysterious girl was also there. When she heard the video music that Xiao Meng was playing, she immediately leaned over.
Sure enough, Xiao Meng was watching the video that she was watching over and over again.
The roommate heard Xiao Meng say, "This video is really amazing. And I think I get the charm of your group."
When my roommate heard this, he laughed out loud and took the opportunity to recommend it to me: "Several of the original designs and scenes in it are also super beautiful!"
Xiao Meng was a little dumbfounded: "Are fans this awesome nowadays? If they were this good, they could go and make a movie."
My roommate said proudly, "We have a lot of professional fans here. They are experts in all kinds of things. There is nothing they can't do if you can't think of it."
"I have a few other fantastic fan-made videos here, though they might not be as well-made as this one. But they're still very entertaining, and some are even funny. Do you want to see them?"
Xiao Meng actually became interested: "Okay, send me the website."
The roommate excitedly packaged up several videos that she thought were particularly well-made and sent them directly to Xiaomeng.
Noticing that many new fans and people who are interested in the mysterious girl have come in the past two days because of this video, fans quickly found the sources of each shot in the video, and took the opportunity to release various highlights and animated pictures of the wonderful performances on the stage and MV.
The author of this video, "Dadashishimao", didn't expect that his video would become popular so quickly, with over one million views on the same day.
Originally, the number of fans on his small account quickly increased to 500,000.
Because before the production, he greeted Yuexiang Entertainment, and the other party found him through the contact information at that time.
Although he rejected Yuexiang Entertainment's recruitment, he still received the complete set of Mysterious Girl's music and peripheral products sent by Yuexiang Entertainment.
A staff member from Yuexiang Entertainment also stated that the company plans to hold a concert for Mysterious Girl next year. They will then send him a VIP ticket for the concert and hope that he will continue to like and support Mysterious Girl.
Although he didn't receive any actual money, he was born into the profession of video making just because he liked these five girls, and he had a good impression of Yuexiang Entertainment Company.
He wasn't short of money to begin with, and the other party didn't transfer money directly. After being rejected for the job offer, they made a special call to thank him, sent him a gift, and even reserved VIP seats for him at the concert. At least their attitude was okay.
In fact, he had only been into Mysterious Girl for a short time. He already worked for a top media company in the industry, with a good salary and a comfortable team, and was not considering changing jobs at the moment.
He didn't mind adding the staff member's contact information and did not refuse Yuexiang Entertainment's proposal that if he was willing to make related videos in the future, Yuexiang Entertainment could provide the corresponding materials and remuneration.
As time went by, the ratings of music shows became more and more stable, and the influence of "Hello, Idol!" became more and more apparent.
The influence of "Hello, Idol" in the entire idol circle was something no one had imagined before this variety show was first launched.
Although its audience is indeed small, its click-through rate is incredibly high. Many fans will play the video of their idol on the show on a loop.
Then I promoted it crazily in the circle, and new fans who came in were also recommended it, saying it’s a must-see show!
With the various idol groups appearing on this show, the positive reviews it received, the noticeable increase in fan enthusiasm, and the fan retention and fan acquisition effects have made this show a program that more and more idol groups want to participate in.
There's even a saying that if your idol isn't on this show, it means your idol is really no good. Neither the popularity nor the talent is good enough.
The girl group, which was originally from a small company, went from being unknown to having a large number of fans and second- and third-tier popularity overnight because of participating in a music show and the subsequent variety show!
And more and more news about Yuexiang Entertainment’s second boy group selection is coming to light.
The author has something to say: It just suddenly occurred to me! Looking for names for boy bands!!! They're the two types mentioned in the previous chapter.
Save me, a bad name.
