Shang Qianyu opened the official group chat. The first thing he did was to open the chat history and start climbing up from the top.
As a star active in the fan group, if she wants to smoothly connect with the chat content of group members after a day's work, she has to spend some time every day to climb the stairs and see what fans are talking about in the group today.
And some fans would @Shang Qianyu from time to time.
Unlike many celebrities or operators who, as soon as they show up in the official fan group, the group chat is flooded with all kinds of messages, making it impossible to have a normal chat, Shang Qianyu's fan group does not have this phenomenon at all.
Even if Shang Qianyu himself shows up in the group, there will be no meaningless screen swiping. Sometimes, if the fans are happy chatting, they will ignore Shang Qianyu's remarks and continue chatting.
Therefore, in other groups, because celebrities rarely show up, fans get crazy when they see the celebrities themselves, which leads to a vicious cycle of flooding the screen with a lot of meaningless content, and finally making the celebrities unwilling to join the group chat. However, the atmosphere in Shang Qianyu's fan group is much better.
At the beginning, the atmosphere of the fan group was no different from other fan groups. However, after a long period of slow operation, when everyone knew what kind of person Shang Qianyu was, the atmosphere suddenly improved.
"Let's see what the group members are talking about first." Shang Qianyu rubbed his eyes, "Does anyone miss my mother Luo Ruyin?"
As a result, after climbing the stairs for seven or eight minutes, Shang Qianyu could only see a few related topics in the group, and they were basically skipped after just one sentence.
Even though Shang Qianyu and the operations team had agreed that people in the group could discuss Luo Ruying-related content, the fans were still quite self-conscious and did not discuss excessively or even have much discussion.
"Are you really that sensible?!" Shang Qianyu couldn't help but think of Luo Ruying's bright smile when he left the building, "Let's discuss more!"
After complaining, she closed the chat history, opened the keyboard, and started typing text.
"I'm home from get off work, come and look here, I have a big announcement today!!!"
Everyone was used to seeing Shang Qianyu appear at this point.
"Oh, remember to eat and drink more hot water."
"I have read it, please leave."
"I was on a business trip in Southeast Asia recently. Guess what I encountered? [Picture], I encountered your pirated peripherals, hahahahahaha!!! The workmanship is so poor, hahahahaha, it's inexplicably funny! Do you want me to buy one and mail it to you?"
Although the privacy of artists and employees is almost impossible to investigate due to the group's strong confidentiality mechanism and system rewards, the address of Kuiguang Group itself is public.
If you want to mail something to Shang Qianyu, just mail it directly to Kuiguang Group and the operation department will naturally collect it on your behalf.
“Hahahahaha! Can the upstairs person bring one for me? I want it!”
"By the way, Xiaoshang, have you asked your boss whether he is prepared to protect the copyright overseas? Although this thing is funny, it should infringe your copyright, right?"
“…”
Seeing that the topic was going off track again, Shang Qianyu quickly spoke up, interrupting the group members' chanting: "This is a matter for the company's legal department. I don't know much about it. Didn't you see that I'm here to announce an important matter today!"
"You have important things to do every day, right?"
"Remember the last time you said that with such fanfare, it was because you gave away half a soft-boiled egg with your ramen?"
"The credibility is bankrupt, Xiaoshang, alas."
Seeing that no one was taking it seriously, Shang Qianyu got angry and said directly without keeping anyone in suspense: "I saw Luo Ruying in the company today, in person, in person!"
"Do you understand the value of seeing Luo Rujin herself?"
After these words were spoken, everyone in the group was silent for a moment.
A few seconds later, a flood of messages came out one after another: "Really?! Did you meet her in person? I have a friend who works in the group, and he has met you in person hundreds of times, but he has never met Luo Ruying."
"How is it, how does the real person compare to what is shown on camera?"
"By the way, is it time for the autographed photo?"
"You're as excited as meeting a fan. I felt the same way the first time I met you. Alas, I was too young and impulsive back then."
"Have you asked Xiao Luo what the plot of the second episode is?"
"Be more careful, don't be seduced by others so easily."
"No way, the moment I saw Luo Ruying, I felt that she was so healing, a super gentle and sweet girl!"
“…”
Seeing that the topic was back on track, Shang Qianyu sent a satisfied emoticon and continued, "Don't worry, he is a really good person! Very good!"
"How long have you known her? Are you so sure? It's not that I don't trust you as a person, but I don't trust your intelligence."
"What are you talking about upstairs? What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Yeah, how can you be so sure after just meeting once?"
Thinking that Luo Ruying was actually the company that accompanied him from an 18th-tier group to a first-tier star, Shang Qianyu resisted the urge to expose the secret and forced a suspense: "I signed a confidentiality agreement with the company. There are some things I can't say, but I am sure and certain of one thing, that is, Luo Ruying will 100% not fall into disrepute, you can rest assured."
Someone in the fan group immediately cried out: "It's over, this is exactly the same as when I was a fan of a star before, you are hopeless!"
"Well, how can there be a person who is 100% sure that his house will not collapse? Isn't this too absolute?"
"I choose to trust Xiao Shang this time. In fact, she has never made mistakes in major matters. Since she can say that, she must be more or less confident."
Shang Qianyu smelled the aroma of food coming from outside the room and typed faster: "Yes, my mother Luo Ruyin is the best in the world. Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to eat. I'm having steamed pork ribs today. It's delicious. Bye~"
"Wait, I remember you kept saying things like 'Mom loves you, Luo Ruqin'. How come the seniority was reversed after just one meeting? Can this be reversed?"
"No food allowed, come back soon! I need an explanation!"
"Aren't you one of the group's founding fathers? Aren't you the top star that the group has nurtured from scratch? Where are your seniority levels? How come you just recognize someone else as your mother?"
"Alas, Xiaoshang is embarrassed every day. I'm used to it."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Luo Ruying opened an official fan group yet? I kind of want to be a messenger and send out today's chat records to see what everyone thinks of it."
"You are still thinking, someone has already taken action, yes, that person is me!"
"Okay, let me see what other groups say."
“…”
…
The next day, in the luxurious conference room next to the president's office.
Yang Ruoqian, Qi Mu and several executives from the operations department pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Yang."
"Good morning, Mr. Yang."
Yesterday afternoon, they had a discussion on how to expose Luo Rujin's true identity.
However, it was close to getting off work at that time, and this incident was unprecedented in the entire entertainment industry, so no plan could be discussed.
Some employees think it is better to be conservative and try not to shock fans too much when revealing their identities, so as to avoid causing any stress reaction, and to leave appropriate room for remedial measures for possible mistakes afterwards.
Another group of employees held the idea of either not doing it or doing it big, believing that the exposure must be shocking enough and unexpected enough. They thought the proposal of gradual progress was too conservative.
In short, executives are roughly divided into two factions, radicals and conservatives.
The reason why no specific idea was put forward yesterday was because Mr. Yang felt that the radicals were too conservative.
Finally, due to Mr. Yang's veto, everyone had to give up for the time being and wait until the next morning to discuss it again.
Seeing that everyone was present, Yang Ruoqian nodded and said, "Everyone, please sit down. Yesterday, everyone's suggestions were a little inappropriate and not thorough enough. Do you have any new ideas today?"
After the discussion the day before, the conservatives were completely defeated by President Yang's suppression, so everyone had to move towards the radicals.
An operations manager raised his hand, and after getting Yang Ruoqian's approval, he said, "After the filming of the TV series 'Beginning' is finished, we can organize an online event and expose Luo Ruying's true identity live during the event."
"By the way, you can also take pictures of our computer room and those advanced equipment to show everyone how much effort the group has put into this."
"As for the moment when her identity is revealed, how do you think it would be better to just say that Luo Ruying is just a synthetic virtual personality without any foreshadowing?"
The people who spoke were yesterday's conservatives. After every punctuation mark of the plan was rejected by General Manager Yang, they had to change their strategy and make the plan more radical.
Radical employees immediately expressed different opinions.
"Not really. Luo Ruying's current publicity is completely in line with that of a first-tier star, and the effect is also very significant. She is now very popular on the Internet and in the entertainment industry, and there are so many sponsors who want her to endorse their products."
“How can just online exposure be enough?”
"I think we can just hold an offline fan meeting and organize activities in the name of Luo Ruying. At the end, when it is unveiled, we can just put a random machine there and say it is Luo Ruying, so that everyone, including the reporters, will be surprised. That's the right thing to do."
"Just think about it, a mysterious person who many people have been looking for but can't find, turned out to be a machine when he appeared, and could only greet all the fans through the screen. How shocked would they be?"
"They brought gifts, cameras, and autograph papers to get Luo Ruying's autograph and take photos, but they ended up seeing a machine. How shocking would that be?"
“Seeing it with your own eyes is more effective than online live broadcast.”
"Fans are the main consumers, so holding an offline fan meeting can also indirectly increase the sales of our surrounding industries."
“…”
"I think you are still too conservative. You should do this..."
In the conference room, managers from the operations department were discussing one after another, while Yang Ruoqian and Qi Mu were watching in silence.
Qi Mu is the secretary, responsible for taking notes.
Yang Ruoqian is the boss and is responsible for the final decision.
After several general plans were put forward, the managers of the operations department finally stopped the discussion and turned their attention to Yang Ruoqian.
"Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
"I think the framework of the second plan is good." Yang Ruoqian quickly went through the plans and sighed, "Although it is still too conservative, the basic framework is there. I will tell you a few ideas, and you can follow the original plan and add what I say."
These managers all insisted on their own opinions and no one could convince anyone else.
After all, everyone has some achievements, and when faced with an unprecedented case, even the most capable person can only come up with a logically consistent plan, but it is extremely difficult to convince others.
At this time, it would be best for Mr. Yang to come forward in person and come up with a plan.
Mr. Yang has extensive experience in turning unprecedented things into classic cases, and with him in charge of the implementation, everyone feels more confident.
Sure enough, Mr. Yang already had a plan in mind.
"Mr. Yang, please go ahead."
Yang Ruoqian knocked on the table and said, "First of all, the idea of the offline fan meeting is correct, but the content is not rich enough."
"If you want to be shocking enough at the end, there must be enough foreshadowing. Otherwise, if there is not enough foreshadowing, the reversal will seem weak."
"You just mentioned the signature campaign, why didn't you continue talking about it? Do you think machines can't sign?"
“This is the result of being too conservative.”
"Why can't the machine sign? Aren't the documents you usually print also printed by machines?"
"Sign. All the fans present will sign one copy. We will provide the signed paper!"
Yang Ruoqian looked at the confused eyes of the audience and became more satisfied with the plan. "Moreover, your last plan came to an abrupt end when your identity was exposed... It seems that after your identity was exposed, the whole project was over."
"After the identity is revealed, a concert will be held immediately."
Having said that, Yang Ruoqian went over his completely perfected plan in his mind.
What the supervisor just said is right. Offline fan meetings are indeed shocking enough, but there is also the risk of increasing peripheral profits, which must be prevented.
So we might as well go all out and start all the projects that cost money.
Yang Ruoqian just didn't believe that once their identities were exposed and everyone realized they had been deceived and fooled by the machine-signed autographs, they would still go to the concert.
If we spend money to hold a concert but there is no ticket revenue, how much of a loss would that be?
The thought of a concert full of empty seats makes me happy.
Sure enough, an operator immediately expressed his concerns: "Mr. Yang, what if someone who bought the ticket cannot accept the fact and wants a refund?"
Yang Ruoqian looked at him doubtfully and said, "Then refund him. Remember, you must design the refund process as simple as possible, and the server must be good as well."
"Okay, that's all. Time is tight, so let's get it done quickly. The meeting is adjourned."
ps: My right shoulder is a little sore, how can I solve it? Does anyone have any ideas? (End of this chapter)
