Chapter 179
Random Entertainment has been moving fast in the past two months. During the summer vacation, it was still showing off its financial strength in China, but soon it went abroad to show its strength. At
the end of October, Random Entertainment officially started global selection, showing its determination to enter the international market.
Those who said that Random Entertainment was just going to Thailand to make money have now become silent. I didn’t expect that they were really preparing to go international.
No one thought that Random Entertainment would have such a good performance today.
During this period, Jiang Juyou received dinner invitations from various people every day. Some wanted to seek cooperation, and some wanted to put their children in Random Entertainment.
At this moment, Jiang Juyou was standing in front of the French window, calling her sister and younger sister to announce the good news.
"The offer has come..." She said with a smile. After more than a year of preparation, her heart finally settled down.
"When will you go?" Jiang Tang, who was in the RV, was happy for her sister but also a little worried. Since she knew that Jiang Juyou wanted to study abroad, she often read some foreign social news, which made people tremble with fear.
Jiang Liuxing started again, "Take me, take me, take me!"
"She is going to school, why should she take you? You can't cook or clean the house. She will have to take care of you when you go there." Jiang Tang said to her.
Jiang Juyou comforted them, "Don't worry, there are many places where overseas study institutions can help, and if it doesn't work, I still have an assistant."
Although they both supported all of Jiang Juyou's decisions, they still didn't quite understand why she wanted to study fashion management. According to Jiang Liuxing's work style, if she was the boss of a casual entertainment, she would have handed it over to a professional manager and just been a big boss with dividends every month. Jiang Tang felt that Jiang Juyou should study business management instead of fashion management.
"I should be done by the time you go there. I have more than two months of vacation later, so I can accompany you to adapt." Jiang Tang still worried about her being alone. It would be fine if she was in China, but that was abroad. If something happened, there would be no one to talk to.
Jiang Liuxing started to say again, "Then I want to go too!"
"Go, go, go, let's go." Jiang Juyou had a headache for a moment, agreed to the two people, then glanced at the person who came in at the door, and said, "No more talk, I still have some work to deal with, let's talk when I get home tonight."
"Okay, let's talk tonight."
"Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Juyou walked to the reception area, where Lin Jie stood, handing the iPad in her hand to Jiang Juyou. She has recently started working as an assistant again, and even handles some matters on behalf of Jiang Juyou, especially in terms of portfolio operation decisions, many of which are the result of her thinking and decision-making.
After sitting down, Lin Jie introduced, "The publicity team's recent results are quite good. The response in East Asia is relatively good, followed by Canada and Australia. The main reason is that there are more Chinese people and fewer language barriers."
"The song Neon Light is quite popular on the Internet recently. Some foreign distribution companies have also contacted us and want to sign Timetrain overseas..."
Jiang Juyu nodded, "Okay, if we come, we have to start from scratch, which is time-consuming and laborious, and we may miss this opportunity."
She was more concerned about the ticket sales of the winter camp, so she asked about it. Lin Jie knew she would ask, and she specially asked for some data before coming.
"The ratio is currently 1:6 per show, which is not very good, but we should be the concert with the most foreigners." Lin Jie thought for a moment and said seriously, "At least in Asia."
She added: "Although the majority of ticket buyers are Chinese, our concert peripherals are completely popular. I think there is no one in the star-chasing circle who doesn't know about our winter camp peripherals."
Lin Jie said this because the templates for the bulk of the peripherals have been finalized, and the official blogs at home and abroad have posted posters of the peripherals, showing the details of each peripheral.
At first, only fans who were going to the winter camp concert knew about the peripherals, and in the end, all star-chasing fans knew about it because of a post in South Korea, which introduced the technology cards released by Random Entertainment in the past few years.
"Title: These small cards are really crazy, why did I know it only now!"
"No, they are obviously small cards invented by our country, how come others have surpassed them so much, are such beautiful small cards real?"
"[Picture][Picture][Picture][Picture]"
There are more than ten pictures in the post, all of which are Ye Xing, Pei Luming, Pei Zhiping, and Han Lemi. The four of them are a family of expensive cards. The lowest card price is more than 200, and the most expensive is 200,000 or 300,000.
The post shows the expensive cards of these people, starting at 100,000 yuan.
"How much? 50 million???"
"... Mainland China scale."
"Why is it so expensive? Is it the only one in the world?"
"I'm a card geek. I saw Ye Xing's card a long time ago. At that time, it was only more than 20 million Korean won. Now it has risen to 50 million. It's really crazy."
"It's more valuable than my landlord's house."
"I can't afford any of them."
"Are all Chinese cards so expensive?"
"Reply: The original price of their cards is actually very cheap, only 8,000 yuan each, but some cards are very rare, so they are very expensive."
"It's magic, how can there be soft cards?"
"Their company has a lot of rare cards. Some of them will only appear when put in hot water, and some will only appear when put in ice water. When I was studying in China, all the girls in the school knew about them."
"Middle fans say that Timetrain's cards only appreciate in value, never drop in value."
"Reply: Why?" "
Reply: Because they attract more and more fans, if they want cards, they can only ask old fans for them. They sell random entertainment items, even albums. Many fans fall into their trap for financial management, and end up being attracted."
"If that's the case, I'll join in too."
"Physical albums are sluggish all over the world, but it makes sense that their company is selling more and more."
"What's the principle? It's amazing."
"I saw on Weibo that the small cards in this compilation concert are snow cards, which are brand new technology small cards that have never been released before. They are already preparing to grab them."
"Oh my God, I don't even dare to think how expensive the small cards I carry will be when the time comes."
"Reply: Concert compilation? Where can I buy it? Is it that winter camp? Is it free if I buy the ticket?"
"As expected of a Chinese, he is really good at making money."
This post discussing Xiaoka has more than 1,000 replies and has been on the hot list for a long time. Later, other people posted posts sharing other idols' Xiaokas, and all the strange peripherals that Random Entertainment has made over the years were exposed.
Because of the information barrier, fans outside only know today that Chinese Xiaokas have developed to this level, and even the physical albums are much more exquisite than those in other countries.
Most people who know about the Winter Camp Concert through Xiaoka, and it was also from this time that the proportion of foreigners increased.
Random Entertainment also announced at this time that it will hold a global audition and will form groups for various markets.
Random Entertainment, which is currently in the limelight, received an email box full of self-recommended videos after the announcement. The new development team has been reviewing videos frantically recently.
People in Taiwan who are familiar with the operation procedures of Random Entertainment have to sigh that they still know how to market.
"Title: Eat melons and discuss / Such good marketing..."
"I didn't expect them to still use this trick when they go abroad. Some of the posts are obviously posted by Chinese people."
"You all should know who I'm talking about."
Comment area:
"What you said, other companies don't market because they don't want to?"
"In the era of self-PR, what's wrong with marketing? Which term on the hot search is not marketed with money? If you are so disgusted, I suggest you stay away from the Internet."
"The water army of sjyl in the above is here again."
"Yes, yes, those who sing against you are all water army. We are all drunk, but you are awake."
"I didn't expect this trick to work abroad. In fact, there are quite a few domestic artists who spend money on marketing in foreign forums. Some distributors will also market artists for the performance of their films and TV shows, but many of them are useless."
"Sjyl's marketing works because she has something to brag about. I really don't like the beauty of some artists who market themselves..."
"Although I noticed that some of the posts were posted by Sjyl herself, it works. After all, there are thousands of discussions on her posts, which is quite popular."
"Are there several posts about Sjyl in our group that they also posted themselves?"
"This post has also received thousands of likes. Are you not promoting Sjyl?"
This post that is clearly their own marketing has also caused some discussion in domestic forums. But no matter what, random entertainment that has gone abroad is now at the top of everyone's mind. There are many people who criticize it, and even more people who speak for it.
With the popularity of random entertainment so high, Frosinette's debut premonition will also be on the hot search once it is released, which is a bit like the feeling of everyone chasing stars.
The logos released by Frostine have become a popular fashion element. Many college students are scrambling to make a copy of them. The four letters "FLXT" have become a high-frequency word on various domestic platforms.
The person in charge of their group did not expect that the popularity would be so high.
"Who knows, I was prepared to be quiet at that time."
"Boss is right, if we debut in the summer, we won't be able to take advantage of the company's popularity."
"Boss is worthy of being the boss, he really has his own calculations."
"You complained about the boss at that time, I remember it!"
"You are talking nonsense, I am loyal to the boss."
The preview of the first week was the group logo, in order to strengthen the concept and atmosphere of the group, and this week will start to release individual photos of the members.
Fans and passers-by also knew this, and they waited on the official blog of Frostine at night, waiting for it to go online.
They really waited for it.
"@FrostineOfficial:-柯游眀-#柯游眀##K##弗洛西汀##FLXT#"
The minimalist style of the group did not release more content on Weibo, but they released nine pictures at once, nine completely different styles, and some of them even had different hair colors. The picture
placed in the middle is a simple portrait of him, with no makeup on his face, so clear that even the hair on his face can be seen clearly. The light came from the right, and the shadow covered half of his face. Under the light, the background color of his pupils was clearly visible.
There are concept photos of him wearing a hospital gown and sitting on a bench, concept photos of him lying on green grass covered with a white veil, and concept photos of him sitting on a sofa in a strange posture in the dark.
That cold and gloomy feeling penetrates the screen and hits the heart of the audience.
There are two voices: hot forwarding and commenting. The comment area is full of fans' comments, and the forwarding is the evaluation of various people.
"I am sick and destined to love you who are sick... I really love this concept, it fits my mental state."
"Are you the big lead singer and big dancer?"
"What a cool face..."
"Sjyl, you really know what little girls like!"
"Come in! My favorites list!"
The completely different texture from other random entertainment groups is the reason why they stand out. They don't have a slogan-like setting, only an inexplicable feeling, and it is this feeling that makes people can't help but look at it a few more times. With the blessing
of the company's popularity, Frositin is also receiving attention overseas.
Malaysian fans first set up an overseas fan site for him, and moved a series of information from his Weibo to other fans on Twt.
"Hello, my new husband."
"Is his name K?"
"I'm looking forward to it. I never thought that one day I would follow C-pop."
"Is he the leader?"
"Looking forward to more news about him!"
Many foreign companies also followed suit. Among the many artists under Random Entertainment, only Timetrain and Flossitin received overseas signing intentions.
However, Flossitin has not debuted yet and has no works, so the effect of signing with an overseas company cannot be seen. Timetrain, on the other hand, got on board.
After Timetrain's American agency contract was signed with an overseas company, it immediately released an all-English version of "Neon Light (English Ver.)". The previous version was recorded by all the trainees on the show together, but this time it was changed to the five of them.
With the company's help, the overseas promotion of the song "Neon Light (English Ver.)" was like a rocket. It was seen more frequently on TK, and there was even local promotion. The five of them could be seen on several squares with high traffic and the song's posters and promotional videos.
After the song became popular for a month, it finally entered the B chart at No. 97.
This news even overshadowed Frositin, who was currently the most popular in China.
"Title: Eat melons and discuss / I'm scared, really, five bionic people, you really did something big in secret!"
"What a historic moment, it can really be recorded in the history of domestic entertainment, who could have thought that the bionic people who were ridiculed during this period would make it to the B list!"
"Hahahahahahaha sjyl, kneel down!"
Comment area:
"This song is really popular on the Internet recently..."
"Witness history."
"Our Cpop is about to stand up!"
"It's too sudden, it feels like I go online every day, how come this song is so popular abroad."
"We have exported a lot of memes and songs, but they were all tacky before, this time it's serious Cpop."
"I watched the street interviews on TK, and any passerby would start singing, and they would all sing this song."
"Step on it! Step on my five treasures!"
"Dream big, bring back a number one single."
"I think sjyl is the amazing one. Before, everyone thought it had reached the top and would only go downhill. As a result, once the overseas market was opened up, it started to reach the top directly." "
Maybe everyone is not aware of sjyl's recent actions. In fact, not only the idol department, but also the actor department has made big moves. Sjyl has signed a cooperation agreement with a foreign actor agency. This is why so many top streamers have started to rely on sjyl recently."
"Although I always complain about sjyl, I am still very proud of it now."
After the summer vacation, Random Entertainment started to exert its strength. Everything that was paved in the past became the reason for its rise.
Spend a lot of money on idol groups, build a domestic promotion platform for them, expand the domestic fan circle, build a long video platform, and escort the output of materials.
Galex's repeated upgrades were also for this moment.
In just three months, Random Entertainment has stepped onto the international stage. For domestic companies, it is indeed very fast, but for those foreign companies that already have a foundation, Random Entertainment has only stepped onto the starting line.
If you can't catch up with this popularity, it will be a flash in the pan, and the efforts of the past three months may go to waste. Whether there will be such an opportunity in the future depends entirely on luck.
Jiang Juyu has even slowed down the arrangements for studying abroad. Following the pace of Timetrain's promotion, she is about to go to the United States.
In early November, Beijing had been rainy for a while, and the temperature dropped a lot, but even so, it could not resist the enthusiasm of fans.
The number of fans who sent Timetrain to the airport was unprecedented. Starting last night, some fans arrived at the airport early to stay overnight just to stand.
Previously, they were suppressed by AIcho, and then by Equals3. During the summer vacation, they just started to surpass the trend of these two groups, but Froxitin appeared and directly overshadowed Timetrain. Although the sales performance is still good, the performance of the songs on various platforms is not as good as before.
Fans insist that Timetrain is the top group in domestic entertainment, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that other groups under Random Entertainment are coming, especially AIcho and Froxitin, who will be very strong opponents in the future.
After Froxitin released the debut trailer, Timetrain's fan circle became much quieter, and many people opened secondary accounts to follow them. Everyone knows this.
Those fans who stick with Timetrain are unwilling to leave, and cannot be attracted by the new group. They can only vent their anger on their operation team, and can scold Lin Jie ten times a day.
This trip has a different meaning for Timetrain, and even more so for the fans.
The operation team seems to know this. This time, they announced the date and location of the trip, and even if it is a chartered flight, they gave fans the opportunity to see them off.
The chartered flight is a separate terminal. Usually there are not many people here, but today it was surrounded by people.
There are still three hours before Timetrain arrives at the airport, and there are already many fans waiting here.
The same is true at the entrance of Random Entertainment. The downstairs is full of fans. The last time there was such a spectacular scene was when the music show was open to the public a few days ago.
All the security personnel who usually stay in the building came out, and even the security of the film and television building and the variety show department came to help maintain order.
The five of them were doing their makeup and hair in the dressing room. Upstairs, Jiang Juyou and Lin Jie were checking the video data they needed. This time, in addition to accompanying Timetrain, they went to the United States for a more important mission.
"We only have this one song that is popular overseas. It's still too difficult to get all the groups in the company to go up there." Jiang Juyou held the iPad in his hand, which was playing the stage videos of several groups under the company at the music festival.
Lin Jie's view on this matter is more positive than Jiang Juyou's. "There are so many people in China. What if we can bring more audiences to them?"
Jiang Juyou was amused by her words. "Do you mean those foreign groups don't have many fans?"
"The base of Chinese people is different."
Jiang Juyou smiled and pushed her.
Since Timetrain debuted, Random Entertainment has been on an upward trend. The last time Jiang Juyou was so nervous and anxious was when "Youth Throbbing 21 Times" was launched. At that time, she was not sure whether these children would be accepted by the public. She didn't know their future, nor did she know her own future.
This feeling seems to be back again.
If it succeeds, then Random Entertainment will step into another height. If it doesn't, then wait to be ridiculed by the Chinese back home.
She can already imagine what those media who are not optimistic about random entertainment will say.
--------------------
Guess what Jiang Juyou is going to do!
There are also red envelopes today~
