"Walking with Chao Chao" became a hit.
The explosion was unexpected, but also reasonable.
Its popularity surpassed all TV series and variety shows broadcast at the same time, and even movies released during the holiday season could not surpass it in popularity.
During this period, the Internet has been flooded with discussions about "Walking with Chao Chao".
The live broadcast lasted three days and two nights, which was almost 32 hours excluding the time for sleeping and gathering.
Netizens watched the 32-hour live broadcast footage at almost every frame, and the famous scenes were edited out separately and appeared repeatedly in various secondary creative videos.
The best variety show of the year has been born!!!
Help! I didn't expect the "rich families" in idol dramas actually exist!
《I completely understand how the male and female protagonists of idol dramas appear》
"Idol drama directors, take note! This is the correct way to present an idol drama!!!"
The benefits of Station C's unrestricted distribution of secondary content became apparent at this time. The popularity of "Walking with Chao Chao" not only remained on Station C and Starlight Blog, but also spread to other video platforms. It even surpassed the secondary content of their own original dramas on other platforms.
Looking at the popularity of "Walking with Chao Chao", the hearts of several video platforms that failed to negotiate the live broadcast rights at that time were bleeding.
In the industry, almost all celebrity management teams are studying the reasons for the popularity of "Going with Me Downtown," trying to figure out the secret to traffic, and they can't wait to give their artists a big traffic package.
For a time, major celebrity studios began to launch fan benefits.
Some celebrities followed Yan Chaochao's lead and did a live broadcast; some celebrities followed Yan Chaochao's lead and gave gifts to their fans; some celebrities followed Yan Chaochao's lead and took their fans on a trip...
However, none of these fan benefits achieved the same sensational effect as "Along with Chao Chao".
Even so, it still attracted the attention of many netizens.
***
In such a vigorous wave of "fan benefits", the NICE group, which is holding its 1st anniversary concert, is naturally also coveting this traffic and announced that it will issue "1st anniversary fan benefits".
[Aaaaaaah! I'm so excited! What kind of 1st anniversary benefits will it be?]
Happy first anniversary, brothers! I hope you will always be happy!
I've been following them since before their debut, and I've been with them for a year now. I'll continue on this journey with them (love)
After much anticipation from NICE group fans, NICE group officially announced the details of the "1st Anniversary Fan Benefits".
This is a commemorative gift box for the first anniversary of the debut of the group NICE. It includes a deluxe album of all the singles released by the group since their debut, three personal photo cards of any member, and a series of limited-edition 1st-anniversary items, including a coin purse, a record player, a cotton doll, a photo card storage box, a card album, a keychain, a blanket, and more...
Total price: 999 yuan
This one-year anniversary fan benefit is originally a matter of mutual consent between the agency and the fans.
Although there is a slight premium, the fan welfare gift package contains enough content, and the market price can barely meet the selling price. Plus the gimmick of the "1st anniversary".
Based on past experience, the management team of NICE Group was originally very confident about this 1st anniversary gift box.
Just 10 minutes after the "1st Anniversary Fan Benefit" content was released, there was not as enthusiastic a response as before. Although there were still some replies, the tone was obviously much colder.
Just when the NICE group's management team felt uneasy, there were even voices of emotional backlash in the comment section.
[??? Is this what you call fan benefits? This is such a big pie, so big and round!]
@NICE Group Official, are you okay? Are you really treating us like leeks?
[I tolerated the previous premium prices for albums, merchandise, and tickets because I wanted to support my brothers... But with this 999 yuan price tag, you're really taking advantage of your fans, aren't you?]
[Wrong? Is the management team of the NICE group here? I suggest you clean up your mind before posting this :)]
The management team of NICE Group thought of many possibilities, but they never thought of the following:
This time, the fans of the NICE group collectively refused to buy it!
Without contrast, there is no difference.
However, when other celebrity studios are treating fans to milk tea, travel, give away tickets, hold live broadcast events... and other fan activities that provide benefits, the fans themselves have high expectations for the "1st anniversary fan benefits" officially announced by the NICE group.
But the final results seemed to be a blow to them, waking them up from their sweet dreams.
Seeing the fans' reactions, the management team of NICE group still wants to rely on professional fans and water armies to guide public opinion.
[Am I the only one who thinks this pricing is okay? ]
[I calculated that the total value of these things on the market is almost over a thousand yuan. This is a 1st anniversary limited edition, and the price is only 999 yuan, which is already very conscientious.]
[Oh my god, I finally saw someone with the same point of view as me. I was so scared by so many people scolding me just now.]
With the fate of professional fans and water armies, the discussion about NICE group’s “1st Anniversary Fan Benefits” finally reached a balance.
Before the management team could breathe a sigh of relief, NICE group’s famous fan “NICE_心跳Ｖ安机” released a statement to stop being a fan.
[NICE_Heartbeat Vending Machine: I had not originally planned to issue this statement to stop being a fan. After all, NICE is a group that I really liked, and parting ways in good terms can be considered a decent encounter.
However, this one-year anniversary incident really hit a nerve with me, and there have been a lot of voices whitewashing the company. I know that many of the girls who are chasing NICE are underage, and I don't want you to be affected by such voices, so I have to stand up and say a few words.
First, the sales of albums, merchandise, and magazines are not, in essence, the fans' responsibility. If you like something and can afford it, buy it; if you don't like it or can't afford it, don't buy it. This is the most basic principle.
Remember: the real beautiful results——
For actors, it’s awards for acting and roles that stick with people;
For singers, it is the popular songs and the fascinating performances;
For idols, it is a wonderful stage with microphones on.
If one day I tell you that only sales volume is a good result, it only means that the star you like is a waste. Please consider stopping being a fan or liking other stars.
Second, there is a group of people who are trying to whitewash me, and even left comments under my updates, saying that “999 yuan” is a reasonable price for this “1st anniversary fan benefit”.
I just want to say two words to these people - bullshit!
With the expensive retail prices found on the shopping platform, which add up to barely over 1,000 yuan, and then selling a wave of 1st anniversary sentiments, they expect fans to willingly and without regrets pay 999 yuan?
Are you guys sick in the brain?
Is the retail price equal to the actual purchase price? Are discounts factored in when calculating the price? What are the costs and selling prices for these items? Do you dare to clearly indicate them? If you truly believe the pricing is fair, why don't you sell them separately, instead of bundling them together?
I was really looking forward to this 1st anniversary, and also to the official "1st anniversary fan benefits".
But I didn’t expect that when other celebrity studios were busy giving out benefits, you were still thinking about cutting leeks and sucking blood from your fans.
Then I can only say——
We will never meet again, goodbye! 】
"NICE_心搏Vending机" is a famous fangirl of the NICE group. She has been following the group's schedule since their debut and has released many amazing pictures of the group.
When the NICE group only had 200,000 fans, the "NICE_心跳Ｖ安机" fan club member had already reached 100,000 fans on her own. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the grassroots pillar of the NICE group.
But now, "NICE_心搏Vending机" has publicly announced that it will stop being a fan!
When seeing this announcement of quitting being a fan, the management team of NICE group gasped and suddenly felt dizzy.
Something happened!
Something big happened!
The management team immediately searched for this fan and kept sending her private messages asking her how to delete the statement of quitting being a fan.
It can’t be late!
If you delay any longer, the opponent will post black entries!
It took the agency team ten minutes to receive a reply from the fan club member “NICE_心跳Ｖ安机”.
[NICE_Heartbeat Vending Machine: How much can you offer?]
The brokerage team's eyes immediately lit up.
There's hope!
[50w]
After 2 minutes, seeing that "NICE_Heartbeat Vending Machine" had not responded yet, I gritted my teeth and doubled the money.
[1 million is also acceptable]
After anxious waiting, the agency team finally received a reply.
[NICE_Heartbeat Vending Machine: So there is funding :)]
[NICE_Heartbeat Vending Machine: You just don’t want to spend it on fan benefits, right?]
[NICE_Heartbeat Vending Machine: Thank you for your hard work]
The agency team wanted to post some content to save the situation, but they only received a red exclamation mark.
I was blocked by the fan club member “NICE_心搏vending机”.
"Oh no! My fangirl is trending because she's losing fans!"
#NICE group sister quits fans#
#NICE group 1st anniversary "fan benefits"#
The entire office immediately fell into chaos.
***
When "Walking with Chao Chao" turned the entire Internet upside down and caused heavy losses to the NICE group, Yan Chao Chao had already put the matter behind him.
She just went to the island for a few days, that's all.
After finishing the live broadcast of "Walking with Chao Chao", Yan Chaochao quickly went to the crew of "Weaponry" for an audition under Tang Shilei's arrangement.
"This is a unit drama, and you're auditioning for the role of a female warrior in one of the units. The audition script is already in the back, you can take a closer look on the way."
Yan Chaozhao picked up the printed script, and on the cover was printed—
Audition Script for "Weapons": Cui Yefei
While Yan Chaozhao was reading the script, the crew of "Weaponry" shouted "Cut". Director Shen Huai walked to the side and subconsciously reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette.
But after his fingers touched the cigarette, he hesitated for a moment and slowly put his hand down.
The photographer on the scene had worked with Director Shen Huai on many dramas and was already very familiar with him. When he saw his expression, he knew that this was a sign of Shen Huai's irritability and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What's up? Are you nervous?"
Shen Huai sighed.
"You say...will the actress who will be here soon be able to do it?"
"Weapons" is in the form of a unit drama. Although the character "Cui Yefei" is not ranked high in the list of leading actors, she is the heroine in the unit drama, which shows her importance.
Originally, this role was reserved for an actress who already had experience in martial arts scenes, but she unexpectedly received other roles at the last minute and would rather pay compensation than give up the role.
At this time, the producer accidentally saw the clip of Yan Chaochao saving people on the Internet, and suddenly wanted to invite Yan Chaochao to play this role.
Shen Huai couldn't persuade the producer and agreed to let Yan Chaochao participate in the audition, but he had other ideas in his mind.
He had seen the clip of Yan Chaochao saving someone and could tell that he might have some skills.
But filming and fighting are two different things after all.
Shen Huai had studied Yan Chaochao's past resume, and most of her roles were vase roles in some dramas. As long as she showed some harshness towards the heroine, a single-minded liking for the hero, and died in a stereotyped way after being exposed, that was the end of her role.
Such a monotonous performance made Shen Huai frown when watching these clips.
Shen Huai might not be willing to let her play such a performance, even if it was a supporting role with a one-sided description that did not require much acting skills, let alone the absolute heroine of the unit drama "Cui Yefei".
But since the producer made such a request, Shen Huai could not refuse directly, so he could only agree to let Yan Chaochao come for the audition first.
After the audition is over, you can just find a suitable reason to reject her.
Thinking of this, Shen Huai's brows finally relaxed a little.
After taking a few more shots, there was suddenly a commotion nearby.
Shen Huai had just frowned when he heard a voice not far away.
"Teacher Yan Chaochao, this way please..."
"I've already told you, you don't have to call me teacher, just call me Yan Chaozhao or Chaozhao."
Hearing these two figures, Shen Huai's heart trembled and he looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Just one glance and Shen Huai couldn't help but be stunned.
Against the cluttered backdrop of the set, a touch of red stands out from the entire environment.
A ray of light fell from overhead, illuminating the red-clad warrior. She tilted her head slightly, as if speaking to someone nearby, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth. Her high ponytail swayed slightly with her movements, but because her body was stable, it remained within a certain range.
As if she noticed Shen Huai's gaze, the red-clothed woman suddenly looked in Shen Huai's direction.
The moment he was stared at by those eyes, Shen Huai felt as if he was being stared at by a falcon soaring in the sky, as if examining whether he was worth being hunted.
In just a few seconds, cold sweat broke out on Shen Huai's back.
It was not until the staff around him said a few words to Yan Chaochao that Yan Chaochao's gaze slowed down, and Shen Huai finally broke free from his previous fear and anxiety.
So similar...
Looking at Yan Chaochao who was walking towards him, Shen Huai didn't blink.
As early as when he read the script of "Weapons", Shen Huai had the image of "Cui Yefei" in his mind.
In the script, Cui Yefei travels the world with just a red robe and a knife.
The moment Yan Chaochao appeared in red, Shen Huai felt that all the "Cui Yefei" he had drawn on the storyboard script suddenly had faces.
But soon, Shen Huai shook his head, trying to wake himself up.
No!
He can't be deceived by Yan Chaochao's appearance!
Even if Yan Chaochao's appearance is exactly the same as his imagination of "Cui Yefei", if his expression and aura are not good, he will not be able to restore the perfect "Cui Yefei" in the play.
After reorganizing his thoughts, Shen Huai returned to his previous expressionless face.
As Yan Chaochao approached, she saw Director Shen Huai, whom she had just met, with a stern face. He looked her up and down, "Yan Chaochao, right? Have you read the audition script?"
"I've got it down."
Shen Huai was a little surprised.
Although he was filming on the set, Shen Huai was not completely isolated from the world.
Shen Huai knew that Yan Chaochao had been doing travel live broadcasts in the past few days. In fact, the producer suddenly wanted Yan Chaochao to play "Cui Yefei" after watching the live broadcast of Yan Chaochao saving people.
The audition script for the role of "Cui Yefei" was not short.
Unexpectedly, Yan Chaochao actually wrote them all down.
No matter how good the acting skills are later shown in the audition, no director will hate an actor who works hard.
After hearing this, Shen Huai's expression softened a little, but he still said seriously: "Then let's start the audition, starting from..."
"Let's begin Act 3."
After hearing Shen Huai's words, those who knew which part of the script Act 3 was from couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
In Cui Yefei's audition script, there are a total of 3 acts, and the third act is undoubtedly the most difficult to perform.
During the production of "Weapons of War," every actor recorded their voices live. The third act not only required the actors to perform difficult fighting moves while suspended on wires, but also to speak their lines without losing their breath between intense fights. The actors needed to maintain their performance throughout the entire process.
Anyone can see that Shen Huai chose this scene with the intention of making Yan Chaochao give up.
Yan Chaochao didn't hesitate at all and readily agreed: "Okay."
After saying that, she walked over to the weapons rack.
Just when everyone was wondering what she was going to do, Yan Chaochao used her clever strength and kicked the weapon rack. The long sword in the center slipped out of the scabbard, flew into the air, and was firmly grasped by a hand on the hilt.
Yan Chaochao held a long sword in his hand, his lips curled slightly, and he turned to look at the stunned crowd: "I need someone to act opposite me, who's coming?"
The martial arts director appreciates a straightforward personality the most, and Yan Chaochao's skills and temperament are just what he wants.
Seeing this, he smiled brightly: "I'll do it!"
Yan Chaozhao gently raised the knife: "Please."
The martial arts moves for TV dramas are always decided in advance and rehearsed in slow motion countless times before they are actually filmed.
Sometimes it's more like a "dance" than a fight.
But at this moment, the martial arts director and Yan Chaochao on the scene showed everyone what a real martial arts scene is!
Chop, stab, chop, pierce...
The blade danced in the air, leaving afterimages that were dazzling to the eyes.
The martial arts director was obviously interested in the fight, and his movements became much faster. Even so, Yan Chaochao still had a relaxed expression on his face, and he could even recite the lines from the script clearly and naturally when he turned around.
Shen Huai:! ! !
What is there to hesitate about?
Where's the contract? Bring it to me now! I'll sign it right here!
