Chapter 158

"Title: Eat melons and discuss/Is it SJY's new boy band?"

"Someone saw three people and five bionic people playing basketball together on the rooftop of the dormitory building, but there were seven more, and their figures did not look like assistants."

"The number seven matches the gossip some time ago. I thought it was a rumor before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

There have always been rumors that Random Entertainment is preparing a new boy band, but the outside world tends not to believe it. After all, Random Entertainment has launched so many groups in a short period of time. Now there are three girl groups and two boy groups. It is already difficult to operate them at the same time, not to mention launching a new group.

But today a video was leaked, and the situation is different.

"Let's not talk about whether it's a new boy band or not, where was this video taken from?"

"Reply: The building of the big factory opposite, the lights are on, everyone is still working, the upper management can see Random Entertainment here."

"The post here just came out, and the fan club there has been set up, you celebrity fans are running too fast."

Just a video was leaked, and it's not even clear whether it's seven people and who will debut in the end, but someone on Weibo has already set up a website called Random Entertainment New Boy Band National Fan Club.

Three Weibo posts were posted in a row, the first one was the opening of the website, the second one was the lucky draw, and the third one was the video that was leaked today.

"With this one, there will be six groups. Can Random Entertainment handle it?"

"I'm not worried about the operation of Random Entertainment. I'm just worried about whether they can snatch fans from those groups."

"If they can play together, it means they have a good relationship. Could it be the people in Countdown again? We haven't seen them in public performances recently. Could it really be them?"

Random Entertainment had just confirmed the debut candidates, and before they were ready, they were exposed in advance by a video.

Yao Shuo, who was browsing Weibo in the morning, saw the terms that were trending, and his first reaction was that they were going to be scolded.

This winter, Beijing's sky was not sunny for many times, and the number of times they were not scolded was the same.

Yao Shuo threw his phone on the pillow and lay back under the quilt, intending to pretend he didn't see it and continue to enjoy his free time on the day off.

But just as he switched to a comfortable position, someone knocked on the door.

"Yao Shuo, meet in the practice room." It was Gao Xiayu who knocked on the door.

"Five minutes--" Yao Shuo resigned himself to his fate and got up from the bed.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and casually pulled a coat off the hanger at the end of the bed and put it on. He

quickly put on his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up, and when he reached the door, he did not forget to open the door for the person outside.

It was Gao Xiayu who called for the gathering, but it was Chi Qiao who came in. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame, "We are on the trending search again."

"But I don't see anything said in the group." Pei Luming was wearing a thin coat with the hood on his head. He rested his head on Chi Qiao's shoulder and browsed his phone anxiously.

Usually, when they made mistakes, their work group would start to tag a few of them and ask them to gather downstairs for a lecture.

Today, it was quiet.

Yao Shu, who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, raised his head. He spit out the foam in his mouth and then said, "It's just a game of ball."

Just like what they said, they just played ball together late at night, but such an everyday action could lead to many things, just like this time playing ball caused the company's unannounced new boy group to show up earlier than planned.

But this kind of thing is simply unavoidable, and it is impossible for them to stop all private contacts, nor is it possible for them to stop their private leisure and entertainment.

But they are still worried that the company will reprimand them for this matter, and the five of them are more or less worried.

The same thing, different reactions.

Jiang Wangran and the others live downstairs, and when they got up in the morning to go to class, they also saw the hot searches on Weibo, and saw that someone said that the new boy group's support station has been built.

He directly took a screenshot and sent it to the person he had a good relationship with in Frositin, congratulating them on being on the trending search.

In his opinion, this is a good thing. There is a warm-up before debuting, which is much better than their sudden appearance.

The seven people from Frositin also saw that they were on the trending search after getting up, and their first reaction was to check the work group.

"Agent: Meet in the practice room at 10 o'clock."

After reading the work group, their eyes went dark and they had a bad feeling.

At about half past nine, the seven people were sitting in the practice room. There was a dance class this morning, and everyone was very discerning and stood in front of the mirror to warm up.

Ke Youming is the captain and has a lot of responsibilities. The others in front are warming up, but he is the only one in the back with a bitter look on his face. He sits there thinking about how he will explain when the agent comes.

"Okay, assemble."

The door of the practice room was suddenly pushed open, and the agent appeared without warning. He strode in, and his eyes lingered on the seven people.

Their agent was a big and strong man with a fierce look. He was usually serious and very strict with them.

When they saw him coming in, the seven little wolf cubs tightened their skin and stood in a row in the middle of the practice room, lowering their heads and being obedient. They were very well-behaved.

"Did you play basketball after practice yesterday?" The agent said as he glanced at the seven people again, and finally his eyes stopped on Ke Youming.

He did not blame them for playing basketball at night, nor did he mention that they were photographed. Instead, he asked, "How did you divide the teams?"

"..."

The seven people who had been looking down raised their heads and looked at each other. Ke Youming hesitated and said, "We are in a group of seven. Chen Wu is the referee, and the other two are in a group with Gao Xiayu's team."

"Did we win?" The agent raised his eyelids and looked at Ke Youming.

"We played for two hours... and it was a tie."

The agent snorted and laughed, "Tsk, you're still not tired."

He opened the folder and took a look at today's class schedule, "There are still four hours of rest time after the evening rhetoric class. You might as well not rest. After the English class next door, I'll call the teacher over to give you an English speaking class."

"Boss, we're still very tired..." someone protested in a low voice.

The agent closed the folder and looked at them, scolding with a smile: "Why are you tired? The class started at 12 o'clock yesterday and lasted until 12 o'clock in the evening. After that, you played ball for two hours. How are you tired? If you are tired, you should go back to the dormitory to sleep after practice. I don't think you are tired."

"But don't worry, I'm not so inhumane. Yesterday we had dance class, vocal class, and free practice. Oh, by the way, you also played ball for two hours."

"Let's take it easy today and just use our brains." After saying that, he opened the folder and handed today's class schedule to Ke Youming.

Ke Youming took it and took a look, and his legs almost went limp.

Four hours of dance class, two hours of English class, two hours of math tutoring class, two hours of rhetoric class, and four hours of spoken English class.

The person next to him also came over to take a look, and he closed his eyes painfully when he saw the two lines of English and math classes at the top, as if he could pretend that he didn't see them.

The agent clapped his hands, sorted out the discipline, and stopped their complaints, "Okay, warm up and get ready for class, the teacher will be here soon."

The seven people from Frostine didn't even have time to feel the joy and excitement of being on the hot search, and were thrown into the ocean of learning.

Those fans who like to buy stocks and chase newcomers became excited and began to guess who would be in the new boy group of Random Entertainment.

The video is only one minute long and is so blurry that you can only make out the human figures. Recognizing people depends entirely on the details.

"No need to guess about the one with Tuoaotu, I, a passerby, know that there are three."

"Who is the one with pink hair, are there any of the five bionic people with dyed hair?"

"I think the one with pink hair is me... but I dare not identify him."

"The tall guy standing next to Tuoaotu should be Chi Qiao, he and Sang Mo get along well."

"There is one who looks like Ke Youming, but I really dare not recognize him."

"Who is Ke Youming?"

"Reply: He was parachuted in like Jiang Wangran, but Jiang Wangran debuted while Ke Youming debuted in a public performance. He became a popular trainee in the first monthly evaluation, the one with the highest card value among the trainees."

"There are so many trainee fans in the comment section."

"I don't know any of the current trainees of Random Entertainment."

"I stopped paying attention to trainees after the five androids debuted, but I've heard of Ke Youming's name. He's handsome, a big dancer, a big lead singer, 18 years old, 1.88 meters tall, and a genius trainee." In

that video, there was a boy who looked very similar to Ke Youming, and this figure suddenly made Ke Youming's fans agitated.

The Weibo fan group usually has only one or two messages a day, but today all of them have surfaced.

"Is it really Roasted Corn?"

"It looks like it, really looks like it... but no one dares to say anything."

"Roasted Corn hasn't appeared for two months."

"Random Entertainment has no performances during the winter vacation... the wait is so painful."

"We can only wait for the performance at the end of March. If there is no Roasted Corn, does it mean that he has entered the debut group?"

"It may also be eliminated (bushi)"

"Random Entertainment God damn human traffickers! I recognized it as my child at first sight! Give my child back to me! Let me see my child!"

"I think it's Ke Youming, the shorter one next to him is the second child, and the other one wearing overalls is the third child."

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

"The Golden Triangle has all entered the debut group?"

Random Entertainment has not revealed a single word about the new boy group.

Everyone still doesn't know what the name of the group is, nor does anyone know what the current status of the debut group is, whether the number of members has been determined or they are still going to eliminate people.

A video where you can't see the figures clearly can send the new boy group to the hot search, which is enough to show how much curiosity the public has about Random Entertainment's idol group.

Taking advantage of this popularity, the official blog of Random Entertainment, which usually only acts as a forwarding machine, released a message.

"@Random Entertainment: The long-awaited Random Entertainment group is here! As long as you are an artist or employee under Random Entertainment, you can participate - why don't you hurry up and sign up!"

The reaction in the comment area was inconsistent with the main text.

"Sister, did you go to the wrong place?"

"You must have posted to the wrong place because you were slacking off at work, sister!"

"You should have posted to your company's work group, why did you post on Weibo? We can't sign up."

"Why are you still as stupid as ever."

"Winning will get a cash reward of 880,000 yuan and a month's paid vacation reward?!?!"

"I understand. You are giving us time to join Random Entertainment, right? Okay, I'll come right away. Send me your email address and I'll send you my resume!"

Random Entertainment's official Weibo is only followed by fans of its artists.

Usually, its comment section is full of various rights protection content, and it is rare that it is not scolded.

Sometimes, if I forward a post a step late, I will be scolded by fans. Today, I finally posted an original Weibo, but I was still scolded.

This variety show prepared for the fourth anniversary of Random Entertainment started warming up four months in advance. Posting it on Weibo was also to use a loud speaker to shout, so that the artists who want to participate can clear their schedules in advance.

After reading the poster and understanding the situation, fans started to make trouble in the comment section again.

"Teacher, our Ke'er is busy on the crew in June, you should look for another company, you can directly transfer the 880,000 to our Ke'er's card."

"Teacher, if our Jiang Tang can stand in the middle, I will sign up for our Tangtang, if not, forget it."

"Teacher, our Fu Bai was not free at that time, do you think I can do it? I'm not after the 880,000, I just want to go to the company to experience my husband's usual working environment."

"I advised you to delete it, not that I was defeated, but a friend of mine. Really, I think it's a bit too much for a company to give out 880,000 for team building. It's not me who said that, it's a friend who thinks so. It's nothing else, it's because my friend doesn't work in your company. How about this, you give her an offer and I'll say a good word for you. "

"My friend said the same thing about you. She is ignorant. Please give her an offer to slap her in the face. Please, I beg you."

"Everyone makes friends out of nothing."

"Can the cleaners participate? I saw that you are recruiting cleaners. Can those who have just turned 18 apply for the job? There should be no age limit for cleaners, right? Or I can be a parking lot manager. I'm a good doorman. My mom said I'm the best fit to be a watchdog!"

"Woof!"

"There's an illiterate up there, woof woof!"

The group's message was posted on Weibo to notify fans. The company's staff and artists were not left out, and an internal announcement was also made.

Jiang Tang and Zhai K'er were on the set and didn't have time to read the message. When they finished filming this scene and looked back, they found that the staff were all looking down at the message, and no one came to touch up their makeup.

The assistants who arrived late quickly put away their phones and put down jackets on them.

"What's going on?" Jiang Tang's dog nose smelled the scent of melon.

Jiang Tang's assistant's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his cell phone to show her, "Sister! Company group show! Artists and employees can participate, and the first place can get a cash bonus of 880,000 and a month's paid vacation!"

"How much?!" Jiang Tang and Zhai Ke'er both screamed loudly.

The two of them put their heads together and read it word by word. After confirming that it was really a notice from the company, their eyes lit up.

Jiang Tang quickly turned around and asked the assistant, "Do I have a schedule at the end of June?"

Zhai Ke'er also asked quickly.

"Sister, you can't, you were in the crew at that time, and your fans said you couldn't get through it."

Zhai Ke'er's heart was broken at this moment.

"Sister, you can't either." The assistant turned her phone over to show Jiang Tang. On the day when the company was shooting the group photo, she happened to have a business event.

The two of them left 880,000.

The operation team of Frostine was also excited. They planned to prepare for their debut in the winter of November this year, but it would be a pity if they didn't show up at such a big event of the random entertainment company.

Not long after the internal notice was released, the person in charge got up from his seat in a hurry.

"You guys go in first for the meeting later. I'll be down right away. I'm going upstairs to look for Jiang Zhi."

In the morning, the new boy band of Random Entertainment was trending, in the afternoon, the group photo shoot of Random Entertainment was trending, and in the afternoon, the Timetrain album planning of Random Entertainment was trending.

Passersby couldn't help but sigh, the popularity of the Random Entertainment brand is really big.

This winter vacation, they are just like clocking in and out, one hot spot in the morning and another in the afternoon, which has supported the marketing account and relieved the public's fatigue.

Ling Cheng saw Timetrain on the trending search, fortunately, he sat back at his workstation leisurely, leaning back in his chair and flipping through their official blog.

After work, she hadn't paid attention to Timetrain's schedule for a long time. Except for occasionally meeting Pei Luming in the company, which made her feel like she was back in her youth, she had no interest in chasing stars most of the time.

"Let me see..."

The plans between the groups are confidential. Ling Cheng works in the operation team of Equals3 and has no way of knowing the plans of Timetrain. She can only wait for the official announcement like the passers-by and fans outside.

Looking at the hot search terms, you can see that what was announced today is the album configuration, and it seems to be related to "Strange Country", otherwise the popularity would not be so terrifying.

She didn't have the patience to read the content, and the comment area was full of controlled comments, so Ling Cheng switched directly to the forum to see what it said.

"Title: Eat melons and discuss / As long as the five of them don't break the law, the strange country can guarantee them a lifetime of wealth and glory."

"The momentum of last year's VR glasses is still there. At that time, VR glasses plus the album only cost a little. This year, VR glasses are sold at a second-hand price of tens of thousands, and they are even out of stock."

"I thought this game should not be able to make any money, but sjyl found it anyway."

"It's directly grasping my life point..."

"Those of you who don't have cats or dogs are blessed!"

Comment area:

"The cat I raised in the game was modeled after my cat at home, even the shape and color of the paw pads are the same, but my cat died not long ago... If I can see a moving Mianmian again, let alone one set of albums, I can buy ten sets."

"I knew there would be a sequel to the projection light cards!!! Sjyl really knows how to reap the benefits!"

"I know that Sjyl planned these for sales, but this is much more sincere than other companies that release hundreds of light cards for each album. Sjyl deserves to be popular."

"What does it mean? I still don't quite understand."

"Reply: There are three versions of the light cards this time, official version, custom version, and pet version. This means official projection light cards, projection light cards for self-uploaded photos, and projection light cards of cats and dogs in the strange country for players."

"After the link was opened, the sales of the strange country version skyrocketed. It was refreshed to 20,000 in one minute. This is the first time I have seen it in all these years of chasing stars."

"Sjyl's sincere planning is the reason why I dote on it. I really love it."

"Sure enough, all the fantastic ideas are in the group of five bionic men, eh? Are the five bionic men still under the control of hangover medicine now?"

"The LP version also has custom dolls, so the LP version is better anyway."

"So the sales of the five bionic men are going to break the record again this time. Today's sales are already higher than what was said at the same time."

"Every time I think the fans of the five bionic men are about to run away, their sales figures can sober me up."

"No more running away, the quality of this album is really good, let me turn around and run back."

Ling Cheng looked at it for a long time and finally understood it. She glanced at her colleague who was busy packing up and getting ready to go off work, and asked, "...Have we configured the next album?"

"Ah? Pictures? I just talked to the art team about the settings. We have to wait a few days for the pictures."

"No, I mean the configuration."

She pulled her colleague back to his workstation and counted on her fingers, "Look, Timetrain's album used to have VR glasses, but now it has self-configured projection cards, and the big IP of Strange Country. Not to mention AIcho's album, theirs is a magazine bundle setting, not only an album but also small gifts. Our album seems to be too loyal to the album, and there is nothing new."

The colleague opposite: "..."

Several other colleagues who were getting ready to leave work put on their bags and said, "We can think about it, but it's not right now. We're already off work. Can we leave first? We've been in meetings all day and our butts are sore."

Ling Cheng released his hand that was holding her sleeve, "Let's go, get off work, and we'll talk again tomorrow when the boss comes!"

Progress and involution are synonymous with the AIcho Team. AIcho's debut is like a catfish thrown into the river. Not only did it make Timetrain feel a sense of crisis, it temporarily changed the album configuration plan, and also made the Equals3 operation team, which has a different operation plan, alert.

AIcho's magazine bundling setting makes female fans curious every time it releases an album, which is a long-term plan.

Timetrain's operation team also thought of the big IP of Strange Country, and did not forget to bundle it in this planning.

What about their Equals3?

When entering the elevator, several people in their group also discussed how to use the album to stimulate the purchasing power of fans.

After all, for the brand, the most important reference data for these traffic-type artists is sales.

--------------------

Jiang Juyou: I support you to roll up.

The temperature has dropped recently, everyone should keep warm.

I was busy yesterday, and I was allergic to the cold air. I suddenly had urticaria and turned into a pig head on the street...
