Chapter 165
As soon as the membership gifts and birthday gifts came out, Random Entertainment once again became the center of discussion.
Just like it treats fans as important people, everything is carefully prepared, and fans can pay for it just for this thoughtfulness.
Someone calculated the size of each company's gifts, and basically they are more than 599.
Those fans who were originally hesitant rushed to place orders, fearing that they would miss the sale time this week.
Random Entertainment's things are limited in time but not in quantity. In order to protect the interests of members, even the membership card is the same, and can only be purchased in the week from April 30th to May 6th every year.
If you miss this time this year, you can only wait until next year to buy an annual card next time, and you will not be able to participate in many activities this year.
Jiang Liuxing bought the ticket right after the official announcement. She didn’t read it carefully, just to support her sister’s company. After reading the description of the membership card, her eyes lit up.
“African Friendly Card!” This card was made for her.
There are no scalpers for random entertainment tickets. It depends on luck or hand speed, but she doesn’t have either. It’s extremely difficult to win every time.
This time she didn’t go to the Midsummer Night Music Festival not because she had to defend herself, but because she was not selected.
Liu Yue also didn’t win. Zhu Keke did not participate in this application because she was about to start her internship and was busy with interviews.
Jiang Liuxing even said he would give her a stamp, but Zhou Keke wanted to learn something during the internship. After all, it is impossible for people to chase stars all their lives, and she can't live in this dream all her life. She has to find a way to support herself. The first step is to make her internship experience have a place on her resume.
People always grow up. Jiang Liuxing has been feeling this more and more recently. Her student life is about to end.
What she misses most is her freshman year. Unlike high school, she was very happy every day when she was a freshman. When she was in school, she could make some small videos to make money, and she could go out to chase stars on weekends. She was extremely free.
When she thought of her student life that was about to end, Jiang Liuxing remembered that her sister was going to study abroad.
"Jiang Liuxing: Sis, have you chosen a school?"
After sending the message, she lay back on the sofa. Her phone did not ring for a long time. She probably thought that the person over there was still busy and did not have time to check it.
Jiang Juyu really did not have time to check her phone at this moment. She had just finished a meeting in the Random Entertainment Building. After work, she rushed to the airport and flew to Zhuhai.
This was the last event of the Midsummer Night Music Festival, and she had to be there.
Because it was in the suburbs, there were no high-rise buildings here, and there was not much light at night.
Most of the lights in the festival area were not turned on, only the lights on the stage were on.
The five people of Timetrain got off the RV and prepared to go to rehearsal. Yao Shu, who was walking at the back, looked up at the night sky and exclaimed, "Wow--"
The sky was like a black cloth covering a light bulb, with many holes poked on it with silver needles, and it was full of broken stars. It was completely different from the sky he had seen before.
Hearing this sigh, the other people around also looked up.
Chi Qiao, who was walking in front, took out his mobile phone and took a photo, "...It's really back to midsummer night." He said to himself.
The program began to be prepared in early autumn and started filming in winter. They celebrated the New Year together, celebrated the Spring Festival, saw the first snow, and got caught in the spring rain. Now they are really going back to midsummer night.
When they arrived near the stage, the rehearsal of the previous group of artists had not yet ended, so they waited for a while.
Pei Luming, who was wandering behind the crowd, looked back and saw someone familiar.
"Brother, it's Jiang Zhi... Should we go and say hello?" Pei Luming whispered to several brothers.
Jiang Zhi used to be more of a producer. She would manage several groups and ask about their recent situation, but recently she is more like the chairman of the company.
The artists below rarely see her.
Gao Xiayu saw Jiang Juyu standing with the producer and stage director of the program group, and they should go over to say hello.
But before that, Gao Xiayu spoke to the staff next to him first, and they walked over after getting permission.
Jiang Juyu and the others were discussing the scene cutting problem of this stage group, and several directors and stage design teachers were arguing about something.
When the five people from Timetrain approached, they heard their heated discussion and paused for a moment, unsure whether to continue moving forward.
It was Jiang Juyou who first spotted them. She stood behind them with her arms folded and a thick coat on. After noticing the five of them, she reached out and greeted them, "Come over here."
"...Hello, Director, Hello, Teacher."
The five people came over and greeted each one of them, bowing like chickens pecking at rice.
"Are you the next group?" Jiang Juyou was also tired of their quarrels, so she turned around and talked to the five of them.
Gao Xiayu replied, "Yes, we can save some time if we wait by the stage."
Jiang Juyou nodded, then looked at the stage again: "...Then you go over there, they're done."
"Then goodbye, Jiang Zhi, we'll go over first... Goodbye, director, goodbye, teacher." Gao Xiayu led a few kids to bow and ran to the stage.
The five people who ran had different moods.
Because of the problems with the five of them before, Jiang Lengleng dealt with them for a while, and they didn't see Jiang Zhi much afterwards.
They were brought up by Jiang Zhi, and they saw each other frequently during the trainee period, and they also met frequently because of various meetings when they just debuted.
The fear of Jiang Zhi was also alleviated a little.
Now, when facing Jiang Zhi, they feel more like they are reserved when facing their boss than they do when they are afraid of their teacher. They
just went over to greet him and saw that Jiang Zhi was still friendly to them, which made them feel a little happy.
During the rehearsal, they thought that Jiang Zhi would be watching from below, so the dance moves were much larger than the usual rehearsals.
Jiang Juyu was not interested in tonight's rehearsal. She heard that they had already rehearsed once in the morning, and this round in the evening was just to reconfirm the scene cuts for tomorrow's live broadcast, and most of the artists were just going through the motions.
She stood in the audience, not paying attention to it. Her mind was full of the arrangements and planning for random entertainment in the next few years.
"Boss!"
Jiang Juyou came back to her senses when she heard the familiar name and voice. She turned around and found that it was Lin Jie.
Lin Jie is not only responsible for the operation of Timetrain, but also for the business planning of the idol department.
A rehearsal was going on on the stage. Lin Jie glanced at the five people on the stage and made sure that they were moving carefully before walking to Jiang Juyou's side.
"Why are you here too? Are you done with your work recently?" Most of Jiang Juyou's work is now handled by Lin Jie. She is so busy for Jiang Juyou that she has hardly been seen in the company recently.
Lin Jie took Jiang Juyou's arm and rubbed the warmth on her body. "You just got off the plane and rushed here directly. After all, it is a big event of the company this year. You have to come anyway."
Jiang Juyou thought the same, so she came too.
The temperature difference between day and night is still big these days. The temperature can soar to 30 degrees during the day, but it is only a dozen degrees at night.
There is no shelter near the stage. When the wind blows, people are a little unsteady.
Lin Jie, who was almost blown away by the wind, shook her body, "Oh, oh, why is the wind so strong tonight?"
"It seems to be better tomorrow. I think the temperature will rise again tomorrow."
"Well, I also checked the weather forecast. It says there will be no wind tomorrow."
The two of them calmed down again.
At present, Lin Jie is the only one in the company who knows that Jiang Juyou will go to study abroad next year. According to Jiang Juyou's idea, there is no need to explain it to the outside world, so she prepared in advance this year and handed all the work to Lin Jie to handle, so that she will not be too hasty when she leaves next year.
"Boss, will you continue to work here after you finish your studies?" Lin Jie was afraid that Jiang Juyou would take over the company and hand it over to professional managers after returning from studying abroad.
The scale of random entertainment is getting bigger and bigger, and its territory in the domestic market has also expanded a lot, and it has become more commercialized.
The reason why random entertainment has its human touch is because of Jiang Juyou, who has her own persistence.
Lin Jie was afraid that after the company was taken over by professional managers, it would lose its human touch and become stereotyped, no different from other entertainment and film companies.
She looked at Jiang Juyou, hoping to get a positive answer.
The wind blew Jiang Juyu's hair, making her squint. "...I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about the future later."
She didn't want to talk about this, so she changed the subject. "This music festival is very important. Let's wait and see the public's response tomorrow. If there are no problems with this lottery system, let's use this for the family concert at the end of the year."
"...Will it be reimbursed too?" Lin Jie didn't know whether she was startled by the speed of the topic change or shocked by Jiang Zhi's idea. The
high-level management has talked about the disproportionate prices of Random Entertainment's high-quality albums and peripherals many times. Because the cost is very high and the price is very low, the company can't make any money.
Even if it makes money, it will be spent by Jiang Juyu with such a big hand.
"Isn't it several shows?" Jiang Juyu looked at her.
Her words reminded Lin Jie of Jiang Juyou's previous thoughts on family concerts.
Lin Jie nodded, "Several shows."
The top executives didn't dare to talk about the cost issue in front of Jiang Juyou, because she really knew how to make money from fans.
The last event of the year was the family concert of Random Entertainment, and it was also the New Year's Eve party organized by Random Entertainment itself.
And two days before the New Year's Eve concert, there were concerts and fan meetings of Random Entertainment artists. Idol groups held individual concerts, and actors held fan meetings. The venues for those few days at the end of the year were almost booked by Random Entertainment.
In just three days, there were more than a dozen shows in total. Except for the lottery system on New Year's Eve, fans had to pay for tickets for the rest.
The ticket sales plus sponsorships would be several hundred million at least.

Lin Jie: The boss is still the one who makes the most money.
