Chapter 160
The live broadcast of "Idol New Museum" was playing on TV. Jiang Juyou sat on the carpet in the living room, reading a book while waiting for the three groups of artists from her company to appear.
The music matched the sound of the washing machine in the distance, which was noise and the sound of life.
Jiang Juyou, who was always running around the company, had not slowed down for a long time. It was said that she had two days off a week, but in fact she had some odd jobs every weekend.
It has been a long time since she had a day off like this, especially a day off without being disturbed by her sisters.
She didn't read much of the content in the book, but just sat here and enjoyed her life alone.
But this silence was soon broken-
a few beeps came from the door, and the combination lock was unlocked.
"...You're at home. Hey! Jiang Liuxing said you were going to study abroad. What's the matter?" Jiang Tang came in pulling two large suitcases and carrying a lot of bags. When he saw Jiang Juyu sitting in the living room, he didn't forget to ask another question.
Jiang Juyou quickly put down the book in her hand and went over to help so that Jiang Tang's assistant could go back and rest first. "You go back first, go back and rest early."
"Yes, go back, take a taxi back, I'll give you the taxi fare."
"Okay, then I'll leave first, Sister Tangtang, have a good rest, Jiang Zhi, bye."
"Bye."
Jiang Tang closed the door and took out her mobile phone from her pocket, gave the assistant a hundred yuan for the taxi fare, and then instructed her sister, "You can put that box in the laundry room, that box contains everything I need to wash, and you can move this box to my room."
Jiang Juyou, who had only been enjoying a relaxing weekend for a few minutes, was forced to move. After being busy for more than half an hour, after helping her sister tidy up the room, She stood up and sighed, "I'm really old and can't do any physical work."
Jiang Tang slapped her sister on the butt, "If you are old, what about me?"
The two rolled up their sleeves and walked to the kitchen to get some water.
Jiang Tang brought the topic back, "Oh, by the way, what's the matter with your study abroad?" After
pouring a glass of water for each of them, Jiang Jueyou took a gulp and replied, "I'm still preparing."
Jiang Tang believed it after getting the confirmation, but she didn't know how to continue for a while.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jueyou looked up and asked when she saw her sister was stuck.
Jiang Tang hesitated, "Well... something you would do."
Jiang Jueyou continued, "But you don't know why I made this decision, right?"
"Well." Jiang Tang took a sip of water and looked away.
It was close to sunset, and the sky outside was like orange juice splashed on the sky, dreamy and gorgeous, but also with a sweet feeling.
The two leaned on the kitchen island, looking at the sky outside, and did not speak for a long time.
Jiang Juyou, who was organizing her words, was silent for a long time before speaking again: "...I have really felt that I have grown up recently."
"The kind of growth of the outer shell."
"My age and my appearance have changed, but the me inside is still like a child."
Jiang Tang looked at her.
"I may need some time to let my soul grow up a little." Jiang Juyou said.
Because of family reasons, the three of them were forced to grow up. As the eldest sister, Jiang Tang took on the financial burden of the family and entered the society to start working early.
Jiang Juyou had to bear the pain of losing her parents alone. She faced the death certificate issued by the doctor, the police's inquiries, the victims' families' questions, and handled her parents' funeral alone.
At that time, her elder sister was a senior in high school and lived in the school dormitory. She was under great pressure and emotionally fragile. After learning that her parents had a car accident, Jiang Tang fainted from crying and was given sedatives in the hospital for a week.
Jiang Juyou, who was still in junior high school, had to step up and deal with these things.
From then on, she was forced to grow up.
She had no time to feel sad because there were too many things to do and no time for her to cry.
In the days that followed, the three of them were more busy making a living. Compared with their studies, they cared more about how to eat and how to pay rent and electricity.
Jiang Juyu was either working part-time or part-time during that time. She even skipped some classes in college to work part-time.
Now that she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, she has higher spiritual needs.
"I want to apply for a major in fashion management, which is more commercialized and will be of great help to future group operations and brand management."
"...Now no matter how much I learn, I am still a layman and an amateur player, so I want to go abroad for formal study."
Jiang Juyu's study abroad is for this reason, to give herself a break and improve her professional skills. After
she finished speaking, she looked at her sister and waited for her response.
Jiang Tang, holding a cup, looked ahead, and she could feel Jiang Juyu's gaze.
"You've made up your mind, just follow your plan." Jiang Tang had no reason to disagree, because this was her life.
"Of course I've made up my mind." Jiang Juyou looked out the window again, at the setting sun.
Jiang Juyou is a person who won't leave her rotten stall to others.
After she had the idea of studying abroad, she has been preparing for this.
Building an ecosystem for the domestic idol market is her preparation before going abroad.
Familiar music sounded, and the projection screen showed AIcho's stage. Pei Zhiping had her iconic high ponytail again, but the difference was that she wore a cat ear headband on her head, which reduced some of her sharpness.
Jiang Juyou looked at the screen and smiled.
"To build an ecosystem for the domestic market, it is not enough to just have a singing and dancing platform."
"These are the programs we have planned for idols and singers, which can be used to promote songs and themselves."
Lin Jie stood in front and introduced the content on the PPT, while Jiang Juyou sat in the main seat and watched with a serious look.
"In addition to the program, the way the program is carried out and the platform on which it is put are extremely important."
"Our main customer group is still young people, so the platforms we choose to cooperate with are mainly for young people, or platforms with a wide range of users."
After the introduction of two platforms, the planning and introduction of several programs came.
Compared with the heavily produced programs such as the song and dance stage, the programs they planned are more lightweight, with two or three photographers, a director, and a few post-production and editing.
The style of YTB is integrated with the program, and artists with high public favorability are used as fixed MCs, and the program is broadcast weekly.
Random iWatch has also launched a special section for this purpose to encourage the public and bloggers to produce their own variety shows.
Recently, the trial has begun, and many new media clubs from schools have settled in and broadcast their own campus romance variety shows on Random iKan.
"How is the attention and click-through rate of this section?" Jiang Juyu asked after Lin Jie finished speaking.
Several people from the same project group in front of her were frantically flipping through the information and handing Lin Jie cheat sheets.
"Well... we have been testing for three weeks, and the click-through rate has been steadily increasing every week..." Lin Jie read out a few data, which sounded pretty good.
Jiang Juyu, who was sitting there, still frowned, "I don't want it to rise steadily."
"Will it take several years for it to have the same attention as the other sections?"
Lin Jie is the person in charge of this project, but the main work content is in the variety show department.
There are many groups in the Variety Department, and each group is responsible for different programs. Most of the employees who enter this project are newcomers or interns in the Variety Department.
Lin Jie asked them to form teams freely, conceive the content of the program by themselves, edit it by themselves, and let the data speak for themselves. Programs with good data will be retained and supported.
This may be a good growth opportunity for the Variety Department, but for Jiang Juyou, she doesn't have time to wait for it to grow.
Jiang Juyou changed her sitting position and flipped through the materials in her hand, "Which programs have better content?"
Lin Jie answered quickly, and reported all the programs she thought were interesting and had better data.
"Even if the wine is good, it will be afraid of being too hidden. Find a few cooperating studios to promote it externally. The focus of the promotion is on the program content, and then the focus of the promotion will be on the board after a while."
Jiang Juyou put down the materials in her hand, tidied her clothes, stood up and said, "Okay, that's all for today, everyone, go to lunch."
The meeting that lasted nearly an hour finally ended, but no one could make up their minds about Jiang Zhi's opinion of their work results.
"Is this good or bad?"
"If you don't scold us, it means it's good."
"I haven't felt this flustered for a long time. The last time I felt this flustered was when Random Love Watch was about to be put on the shelves."
In the conference room, several people were still collecting things and chatting, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Did Jiang Zhi go up?" The person who came to ask was the person in charge of the Frositin operation team.
Lin Jie held her computer and nodded, "I'm going up."
"How do you look? Are you in an okay mood?" she pressed.
When she asked this, the others quieted down, "Uh..."
Lin Jie understood her and answered directly, "If you want to ask about Frositin's debut... it shouldn't be a big deal, just go up."
"OK!" She happily made a heart gesture, walked out, and suddenly turned back, "Hey? Are you responsible for the self-made board that randomly looks like this?"
"Yes." Lin Jie nodded.
The person at the door rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll go upstairs to find Jiang Zhi first and see what she thinks. I'll come down and tell you later."
Jiang Juyou upstairs was on the phone. Because she was going to study abroad, she had a lot of procedures and preparations to worry about. At the moment, she was busy communicating with the people at the study abroad agency about choosing a school.
She stood by the window and looked at the traffic outside. Suddenly, the landline on the desk rang.
Jiang Juyou looked back, said sorry to the phone, and then walked over to answer the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"Chen Miaoyu, the person in charge of Frositin, is here."
"...Let her in."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Juyou first said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Sorry, I have something to do at work here now..."
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll continue chatting when you are free."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Chen Miaoyu came in just after hanging up the phone.
She pushed open the door of the office, with a flattering smile on her face, and walked in like a fly rubbing its hands, and she didn't forget to say something coquettish, "Boss~"
Jiang Juyou: "..."
"It's not about the early debut again, is it?" Jiang Juyou came to the sofa and sat down, ready to see what she said.
Chen Miaoyu coquettishly frowned, "Oh, Boss!"
"We have prepared our debut album, and we asked a master, who said that if we debut in the first half of the year, we will be popular."
"Look, we have a spring, a summer, a revival of all things, and a hot summer in the first half of the year, how can we not be popular?"
Jiang Juyou: "..."
The leaders of several teams are really crazy.
Jiang Juyou should have thought of it when they submitted the group name and team concept, that Chen Miaoyu is a sick person.
Jiang Juyou, who had a headache at the moment, pressed her temples, and Chen Miaoyu immediately stepped forward to help her relieve her fatigue.
Then she continued to flatter him, "And you see, our company released Equals3 and AIcho in the first half of the year. These two groups are now attracting a lot of attention and have achieved very good results."
"Should we strike while the iron is hot and launch a new group?"
Jiang Juyou stared at her without saying a word.
Chen Miaoyu had come to her before and proposed the idea of debuting early.
But Jiang Juyou rejected it, and she had already given her explanation at that time.
"The company launched two new groups some time ago. They were launched one after the other because they are completely different and not in the same style."
"Equals3 and Timetrain are different in type and composition of their fan circles, and AIcho is a girl group, so their audience is also different."
"There is no problem for them to debut one after the other."
"But your group is not okay, your group is also a traditional idol style, which conflicts with Timetrain. On this basis, it cannot compare to AIcho, which is currently in the limelight, so it is better to wait."
"The end of this year or the beginning of next year is a good time to debut."
"Extending the timeline a little bit will make you more memorable, otherwise the outside world's impression of you is that a new group has been launched for random entertainment."
Jiang Juyu explained it to her, but she still didn't give up, "But our children are ready."
"Are you ready for the debut album, and the first album after your return?"
"We have already prepared three albums. When we were making our debut album, we were also working on other albums at the same time."
Jiang Juyou had his own considerations and understood Chen Miaoyu's urgency. Random Entertainment is now on fire, and everything goes smoothly. Whether it is the movies released or the TV series released, the results are good. Even the newly launched self-made variety shows have a certain degree of attention. When it comes to the idol department, it has its own traffic. The
"Youth Throbbing 21 Times" and "Time Train Countdown" produced at the time were considered to be the level of star chasing by the whole people. The popularity was so high that Timetrain didn't worry about attention at all.
The audience who didn't watch the show at all could call out the names of the five of them, and they even hummed a few melodies after listening to the songs of the albums released.
Timetrain's popularity is phenomenal, and the two groups that followed it have more or less benefited from it, and it can even be said that they have inherited a lot of fans.
Random Entertainment has a large fan base, and there are many who like Timetrain, Equals3, and AIcho.
Chen Miaoyu wants to take advantage of the current attention to debut Frositin so that they can inherit some fans from the three previous groups.
They are not like Timetrain and AIcho, who have programs to attract traffic, nor are they like Equals3, which is a rare idol band type in China.
Most of Frositin's members are trainees from later companies. A few of them have appeared on programs, but they are not very popular trainees. After more than a year of settling down, it is unknown whether their fans are still there.
Therefore, a sudden official debut is not a good way for them to debut.
Especially since they have to wait until the heat of the company's promotion of the group has passed, and they can only debut at the end of this year or early next year, so the hope of getting attention is even slimmer.
No matter what Chen Miaoyu said, Jiang Juyou did not agree to launch another group in a short period of time, and she had to give up in the end.
At this time, in the practice room downstairs, Ke Youming was leading the team members to practice their debut song.
Each group has its own musical style. Timetrain is youthful, wanton and sentimental, while AIcho is confident, self-loving, smart and active.
Equals' musical style is not fixed, and it changes according to the colors and orientations of the three of them.
Frostine's musical style is very obvious. From the name of their group, it can be seen that there are two types of depression and depression.
Because of the different music styles, most of the dances they learned were modern dances, which rely on body movements and formations to form a dance language.
That was too difficult -
seven people sat in front of the screen, carefully watching the dance video they had just taken, all frowning, some unable to bear to watch.
"The movements are all correct, and Jin'er also used it, but there is something weird." After watching the video several times, Ke Youming gave such a comment.
Others could not refute it because what he said was correct.
"It's so hard to dance the way the teacher said. If we're not careful, we'll just twist our arms around."
"...I feel so frustrated."
"The teacher will check it later. I don't dare to pollute her eyes."
"The teachers choreographed such a good dance, but we danced like this."
Their group's vocals and dances are very strong. They felt it was easy when they were recording their debut album two days ago. They finished recording their debut album in two weeks.
But when it came to dance, it took them two days to learn the movements and two weeks to work out the details. Until now, they haven't danced very well.
Ke Youming led them to dance again and checked the differences between their movements and those of the teachers. At this moment, the door of the practice room was pushed open and Chen Miaoyu came in.
Seeing Chen Miaoyu coming in through the mirror, the people gathered in front of the screen stood up quickly.
"Chen Zhihao——"
"How's the practice going?" Chen Miaoyu asked after she came in.
At this moment, they all desperately wished they were deaf and were glad that they were not the captain.
As the leader, Ke Youming was pushed out, "...It's OK."
"OK?" Chen Miaoyu paused as she walked towards the sofa, "What do you mean by OK?"
Ke Youming quickly changed her words, "Very good!"
Chen Miaoyu sat down on the sofa, restrained the emotions on her face, and said seriously: "The company has planned your debut time at the end of this year. It depends on your preparations. If you are not well prepared, we will debut at the beginning of next year, or it may be postponed."
"I hope that everything is ready for your debut, and you will debut with the expectation of thousands of people."
“Don’t let the trailer be released and everyone’s expectations be raised, only to find you guys showing up with a bunch of junk.”
Although she has been in charge of the group since she was a trainee, Chen Miaoyu still analyzed the pros and cons for them from an objective perspective.
"Sometimes we think you are great, but the company's top management may not buy it. Even if the company's top management buys it, the outside world may not recognize it."
"And what you have to do is to surpass us, surpass the top management, stand in front of the public, and gain public recognition."
"Well... there is still a long time, half a year left, you don't have to stay in the practice room every day."
"You also have to pay attention to your studies. After all, you are about to debut, and a low score will also damage your image."
"As for some other things, I hope you can keep your heads clear and don't cause trouble for me at this juncture."
"If anyone brings disgrace to the group at this juncture, I will rush to your house and cut off your head."
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They didn't know who spread the rumor that Chen Zhi was gentle and smiling, and they really wanted to pull the person over to listen.
"Do you understand?" Chen Miaoyu asked.
The seven people squeezed their shoulder blades, straightened their backs and answered loudly: "I understand!"
"Let's go, you guys continue practicing." Chen Miaoyu stood up, patted his pants, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Bye, Chen Zhi."
After the door of the practice room was closed, they touched their necks and said, "I still want my head."
"Did you talk about it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been single all my life, why should I talk to you?"
"Ke Youming, did you hear that? He has improper thoughts about me!"
"I give up. Who can cure his narcissism?"
Ke Youming: "..."
"Title: Eat melons and discuss/The latest news about SJYL's new boy group!"
"I can't see their faces. They are all wrapped up very tightly, but they continue SJYL's tradition of not having people under 1.8 meters tall, so they are all very tall." "I'm
not sure about the others, but the golden triangle is here. The three of them are too perverted. They stick together no matter what they do (the original poster said).
"Looking at the number of people, there are seven. The seven-member group should be confirmed."
Comment area:
"Isn't the name Golden Triangle a bit too rustic? What were his parents thinking?"
"Reply: Hahahahahahahahaha Golden Triangle is three people, not a name!"
"Reply: I knew the first floor was going to come up with a brilliant sentence hahaha!"
"The Golden Triangle refers to Ke Youming, Lu Zhao, and Xu Zhiyuan, the top three among the trainees, the lead singers, the lead dancers, and the faces, with no shortcomings. The three of them were in different groups when they were trainees performing, but they were in the same school and class and had a very good relationship, so they were called the Golden Triangle, which is the CP name of the three of them."
"Although I don't know any of them, this introduction piqued my interest."
"Oh my god, are you trainee fans so good?"
"I thought it was the faces that the fans praised. I just searched for photos and they are indeed pretty (crooked mouth"
