Chapter 41

Random Entertainment likes to make surprise announcements, and they always make official announcements one day in advance, as if two weeks in advance would kill them, which makes some fans gnashing their teeth.

Artists have their own career fans, and so do companies.

The first batch of fans who got into the trainee program turned into career fans directly after the program was broadcast. The most they did every day was to go to Jiang Juyou's Weibo to ask her to promote the program more. They also sent emails to the company to think of many ways and listed all the excellent studios in the circle.

But it was useless. Jiang Juyou didn't seem to go on Weibo very often.

Yesterday, the news of the offline pop-up store was suddenly released, which made these career fans very angry again. They questioned why Jiang Juyou didn't promote it earlier, which made those fans who didn't have time to travel do.

There are always endless worries online, and fans offline are also worried.

I went out at five in the morning, why are there still so many people?

Today is Monday, isn't everyone going to school or work?

Ling Cheng looked at the long line in front of her, and suddenly she wanted to go back.

She left at five in the morning to catch the high-speed rail from Nanjing to Shanghai, and she had to transfer and walk in the middle, which took about three hours.

The pop-up store opened at ten o'clock, and when she arrived, she still had more than an hour to enter, but there was already a long line outside.

Shanghai is still very cold in early December, especially at dawn, when the cold has not yet dissipated. The damp and cold air hits her body, and she feels a stinging sensation as if her skin is sticking to ice cubes.

The staff on site were wearing uniform vests and holding loud speakers, busy maintaining order, and some were distributing hand warmers in boxes.

Ling Cheng also had a hand warmer on her body, but she still took the one handed out by the staff, and like other fans, took photos and posted on Weibo.

"Hello, I want to ask, which machine is Sang Mo's small card concentrated on?"

Someone in front suddenly asked the staff this question, and the fans in the queue behind heard this and immediately stuck their heads out of the queue to look forward.

The staff member who was pulled back paused and blinked, "...hiss, you'll know when you go in."

All the staff on site were part-timers hired yesterday. Their job was to maintain order and change cards. They had a headache just listening to the rules during the training last night, let alone explaining them clearly. Fortunately, there were signs inside, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get started quickly. After

asking around for a long time, everyone couldn't get any useful information from the staff, so they could only wait for the door to open. As time passed, more and more people came to the square.

It was so crowded that Ling Cheng was about to suffer from claustrophobia.

"You can enter. Please follow the signs and ask the staff if you have any questions." The staff went in first, leaving only a few people in the square to maintain order.

The scene was no different from a subway station during rush hour. People were all crowded together and slowly moved forward.

Ling Cheng walked for nearly 20 minutes before entering the venue. As soon as he entered, he felt a warm breeze, and his stiff and cold body relaxed a lot.

When we first saw the address, we had a hunch that this should be the Shanghai branch of the Galex venue, but we didn't expect it to be so big. It felt much bigger than the venue in Beijing.

The stage and seats in the venue were dismantled, and the seats on the stands were arranged in a cyberpunk style, with various neon GG signs posted and placed. The big screen was playing a city VCR that matched the atmosphere of the scene, carrying out the cyberpunk setting to the end.

After everyone came in, they all exclaimed "Wow" at the same time, and then saw many people took out their mobile phones and hurriedly took pictures.

The layout of the venue is like an arcade, with many game equipment placed, but if you break it down, there are actually only four types of equipment: gashapon machine, card clip machine, card dispenser, and card fishing machine.

The gameplay is the same as in an arcade, use the APP to buy game coins, go to the machine and scan the code. There are two special machines among the four types of machines, and there is a certain failure rate, which is related to the rarity of the four versions of small cards.

There are more SSS cards in the card clip machine and the card fishing machine. If you don't draw it, the basic version of the small card will drop to protect your capital. If you draw it, you will make a lot of money.

Ling Cheng, who was still going down the stairs, quickly took out the coins that Gailexi had bought for her to play games. Even though there were nearly a hundred game consoles on the spot, she still felt that there were too many for the few, so she went downstairs much faster.

"Title: Eat melons and discuss/The pop-up store repo is here! I drew SSS!"

"There are many live repo photos on Weibo. I think they all seem to be in the same style. Let me show you our cyberpunk backstage in Xi'an. It's very cool!" "

I was very lucky today. I drew all four versions (it's not my fault, waiting for the card exchange). The quarrel in the next building about clipping and fishing cards is completely different from what that person said. Even if you don't clip it, there will be an R card as a backup, so don't worry!"

"Then all the small cards are technology cards, divided into four versions: R, SR, SSR and SSS. My R card is Chen Wu's, which is a thermal small card. The black background will appear after heating. SR is Sang Mo's card, which is a frosted thermal card. SSR is Wang Siyu's card, which is a winter limited card."

"Everyone has seen the first three, so there's nothing much to say about them, but the SSS card is really amazing. When I take it out and look at it again, I still find it magical."

"My SSS card is from Gao Xiayu. How should I put it... it moves."

"It's not the kind of movement you get when you scan a video with your phone, nor is it the kind of movement where the card surface changes when you shake your hand around. It's... it really moves ."

"My little card looks like this [picture]"

Gao Xiayu's little card is a selfie of him on his birthday. There's a small dot of cream on his cheeks, and the candles on the cake he's holding are still on.

"You can't see anything, but if you hold it in your hand (or not), the candle flame will move, and even the warm yellow light reflected on his face is moving! Gao Xiayu's hair is moving too! Ahhhhhh, who understands! Who understands the shock in my heart! What kind of magic is this?!" "You

can actually see it in the video, but I don't want to expose my other platform accounts, so everyone waits for other people's SSS card feedback. Anyway - this card is going to be hyped up!" "

ps: I'll set up a small stall and sell everything except SSS. If you want it, send me a private message! Then I'll collect Yao Shuo's SSS, and the price will be privately chatted!"

Comment area:

"Who understands, I spent 600 on all R cards, not a single SR..."

"How much did the original poster spend on the four cards?"

"I saw someone at Gailexi's place paid NT$30,000 to buy Pei Luming's SSS card."

"I bought ten cards, but only one SSR came out. Ahhhhh, how can I get an SSS?"

"Am I the only one who's concerned about the fact that Galex has so many venues? If so, can he come on tour for his next performance?" "

The stage setting is really cool. I actually only bought one card, and spent the rest of the time taking pictures there. It's just too dark, so I needed a flash."

"I waited all morning, and only saw that you had an SSS card. Oh my god... It's already a small card hell, and you got a rare one. I really - my card-chasing DNA is moving." "

Who said that plm's winter limited edition is coming back? I've been looking forward to it for so long..."

"Is no one paying attention to the APP? I found that I can click on the voting on the APP, and it will show how many cards this trainee has been drawn."

"Really? You can click in! So far, plm has only released 29 SSR cards, and not a single SSS."

"What do the monthly card book and toast doll below the ranking mean? We don't have them here."

"Those two are given away for purchases over a certain amount. A monthly card book is given for purchases over 100 cards, a toast doll is given for purchases over 200 cards, and three opportunities to select seats in advance for Galencia's concert are given for purchases over 300 cards."

"This list is so cruel, I like it so much."

"There are too many rich ladies in the yx family. More than 300 people have chosen yx's monthly card book, and more than 70 people have chosen the toast doll."

"No, it's only been morning, and it's only the first week. Are you guys so crazy?"

“…Who on earth stole my second-generation rich life [lights a cigarette]”

As the event began, various Repo posts appeared online. Without the lead of marketing accounts, the term #小卡地獄# forced its way onto the hot search list, and even climbed higher and higher.

“This is the real Xiaoka hell, those in the Korean circle are so weak.”

“I spent three thousand, and didn’t draw a single card I paid for…”

“I was saying yesterday that fifty for a card was too cheap, I was making a killing, but now… I didn’t expect the probability of its four versions dropping was different.”

“Now I’m so glad that I’m in the later position, and the price of collecting cards is even cheaper.”

“Thank you for your crash entertainment, you cured my collecting addiction [smile]”

"We have sold more than 10,000 cards in total, and only one card from Gao Xiayu has appeared in SSS. Don't be too outrageous."

The number of cards sold is clearly displayed on the Gailexi APP, so everyone is also very clear about how much money Random Entertainment has made. The sales exceeded 500,000 in the first two hours. According to the current trend, it feels easy to sell 100,000 cards.

Many fans of other companies rushed to the Internet to eat melons, and they also found this scene novel.

Opening a pop-up store to sell things is definitely for making money, but it has no online channels. This subtle feeling makes many people guess what Random Entertainment is thinking.

People outside the circle were watching the excitement, while those inside the circle were fighting fiercely.

Ye Xing's family was not very enthusiastic about the pop-up store event. Everyone knows the reason, so not many people got up early to go, but all this changed after Ye Xing's small card surface came out.

Many lucky moms were busy at work or in class, and no one was checking their phones. But at noon, a Weibo post was suddenly forwarded.

The Weibo post was accompanied by three pictures, corresponding to Ye Xing's R card, SR card, and SSR card. What surprised all the lucky moms was that the card surface was actually quite good-looking!

"What the hell, Ye Xing, you've learned how to take selfies and are back?"

"Fuck, you're finally beautiful again!"

"Is this really Ye Xing's card? It's a bit uncomfortable to see it suddenly look so good."

"Sure enough, there's a reason for the grading. SSR is the best looking!"

"Okay, I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm going to Gailexi now!"

"It's so exciting. I can finally start speculating on cards!"

"I'm curious about the SSS card. They said that SSS cards can move. How do they move?"

A burst of exclamations suddenly broke out in the pop-up store in Shanghai -

"Oh my god! SSS card! It's Ye Xing's!"

"Fuck, sister, can I touch your hand to get some good luck?"

"Is this the first SSS card today?"

"No, I just saw on Weibo that someone else has drawn Gao Xiayu's."

"So jealous... I really have a bad hand. I've been drawing all morning and all I got is R."

Ling Cheng looked at the SSS card in her hand and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

She came early this morning and even entered the venue quite early, but because there were so many people, she didn't draw a card first, but watched how others played. She just walked around like this and lost more than two hours.

In other words, she drew a card for the first time today, spent fifty yuan, and drew an SSS-level Ye Xing card.

Before Ling Cheng could react, someone next to her asked, "Sister, are you going to pay for this card?"

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on the two of them. Ling Cheng glanced at the other person, still a little confused.

The other person immediately added: "I'll pay fifty thousand, will you pay?"

Ling Cheng: "..."

Oh my! Fifty becomes fifty thousand!

The news that Ye Xing's SSS was drawn spread immediately across all major platforms, along with the news that someone spent 50,000 yuan to take it away.

“Title: Eat melons and discuss/report – the second and third SSS cards are out!”

“People were present at the scene, yx’s SSS was drawn, the card face is unknown and I didn’t see it, but it was taken away by a rich lady for 50,000 yuan. But that’s not the point, sisters, the point is that the SSS card is 50 yuan!!!”

“The first card that girl drew was SSS!!! And it only cost 50 yuan! Ahhhhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhhhh, I’m going crazy, that girl drew again and drew plm’s SSS ahhhhhhhh!”

“The wealth gap between people is so big that it’s okay, but why is there such a big difference in luck too! I’m going crazy!”

“One hundred yuan for two SSS cards, it really turns a bicycle into a motorcycle! The plm one was taken away by a rich lady for 72,000!”

Comment area:

"Ahhhh I'm here too!!!"

"Is this the fun of card speculation? My hands are itching."

"Oh my god... 120,000 yuan. It's enough for a down payment in second- and third-tier cities."

"Wait, I've finished my meal. I'll go now!"

"This is a bit too scary. What if the price drops after buying it at such a high price?"

"Fuck, the ranking interface of yx has increased by thousands of votes after just one refresh."

"The card designs of yx are out, and they all look surprisingly good. The lucky moms who were originally not very interested have started to take action. All the lucky moms on my homepage have started to move."

"The card designs for next week are going to be changed... This is really crazy. I'm so happy as a card speculator! Finally, there is a circle where I can let loose."

"Get out, card speculator."

"Oh my god... 120,000 yuan... How come you train conductors are so rich?"

"I'm so jealous of the sisters who can go there. It's really expensive to buy things on behalf of others, starting from 100 yuan."

"Sisters, don't look for a purchasing agent. If you have that much money, you might as well take a high-speed train and treat it as a trip."

Such a crazy scene was of course copied by major marketing accounts. The rich woman who received Ye Xing's SSS card generously shared the video.

In the photo, Ye Xing is holding up a small branch and smiling brightly at the camera. He is wearing a white swimsuit and swimming trunks. Behind him is the blue sky, and the sea water is over his waist. There are three small fish beside his waist. If you look closely, you will find that the sea is dynamic, and even the small fish are slowly changing positions, but the blue sky and Ye Xing are in a static state. This is really amazing.

"Random Entertainment, a company dedicated to selling things that others can't copy."

"When I saw the price, I wanted to comment on printing it myself, and after seeing the small card, I wanted to comment: WTF?!"

"It turns out that thermal cards can be ordinary cards, you random people should not be too outrageous."

"I've been asking this for almost half a year, has anyone answered it, what's the principle?"

"No kidding, although I don't know him, but I really want to own this card."

"I drew it for fifty yuan, and fifty thousand yuan was bought...you made me excited."

"Because it can only be purchased offline, and there are only six venues, there are more monks than meat. You can make dozens of dollars by reselling one card."

"Is there anyone who wants to buy it for you? I'll buy it for you."

"I drew a SSR of Pei Luming and sold it right away, making a profit of nearly a thousand."

The morning was so lively, not to mention the afternoon when the heat had already dispersed.

It is very difficult to get SSS. The probability of getting it is only a little higher on those two machines, but people can't stick to those two. More people still use the card dispenser. After buying game coins, scan the code and enter the quantity to directly issue the card. There is no limit on the quantity here, and it won't waste time. It is completely prepared for those who buy on behalf of others.

Basically, those who come here come with 200 cards at the beginning, because they not only need small cards, but also those two peripherals with full amounts, because there are quite a lot of people who want those two peripherals of popular members.

After staying up all night, Jiang Juyou, who went to bed at around seven in the morning, did not wake up until around four in the afternoon. She hammered her head twice, which was about to split in pain, and lazily got up from the bed.

"..."

Before she even opened her eyes completely, she reached for her phone and found that there were many unread messages on it.

She was used to this kind of daily routine. Every day when she woke up, there were a lot of people looking for her, as if the world would stop turning without her.

She yawned and opened WeChat. After the loading was completed, she saw a bunch of red dots, as if things were not that simple. Jiang Juyou scanned the screen solemnly and selected the one with the most unread messages.

As soon as Jiang Juyou opened Liu Yue's chat box, she saw dozens of emoticons on her screen, and the latest one asked her: "Is there SSS in the card dispenser?"

"...That's it?" Jiang Juyou didn't know why she suddenly asked this, but she answered anyway.

"@桔柚雜貨苪: Yes, we have everything."

"@六月很热: OK!"

"@桔柚雜貨苪: What's wrong, do you want to try it?"

"@六月很热: Yes."

Jiang Juyou asked another question later, but she didn't reply. Jiang Juyou went back to look at other messages. Most of them were from classmates she knew asking her for information about her small card, and some asked if she could buy an SSS card from her. Jiang Juyou deleted these people after reading them. The

family group was also very lively. The two of them were still chatting about something, but Jiang Juyou didn't click in to see it.

After she quit WeChat, she first opened the social software and took a look. She found that the company group was discussing something and the unread messages were full.

Jiang Juyu clicked in to take a look. The latest one was from Li Yao: " Report - sales exceeded 4 million!" "Fuck, it was just 350." "So rich, everyone is so rich." "There are so

many people

next

door. This is the first time I feel like people are going to overflow !" "Ah ... The content of the main building is very concise, just writing the total sales volume and sales amount of each period, and there is a picture below, which shows the number of people who redeemed the surroundings of each store. 4:00 PM Sales volume: 80067 Sales amount: 4003350 Congratulations! Breaking four million! Jiang Juyou: “………………?” The room was quiet for a long time. Jiang Juyou stared at the phone like this. Several times, her eyes went white, and she suspected that what she saw was not real. Then, she did a very stupid move and pinched herself very seriously to confirm that she was really awake. "Ah, it hurts!" Jiang Juyou reacted, but still couldn't hide her shock.

Her eyes were glued to the screen, looking back and forth at the lines of text, then she thought of something and immediately switched screens.

Jiang Juyu came to the financial backend, where real-time accounts were entered, refreshing every five seconds. In the pop-up store project, the cost price and profit were increasing rapidly.

"Ha...hahahaha! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Jiang Juyu finally shouted out loud.

She jumped off the bed like a monkey and ran back and forth in the open space of several square meters. The blood was boiling in her body, and her brain and limbs were limp. Jiang Juyu couldn't do it after just a few jumps, and she was paralyzed leaning against the bed.

She had never been so happy in her life.

Today was only the first day of the pop-up store's business. There were still four hours left before the end of the day, and her task was half completed.

Jiang Juyou couldn't help but sigh, "I was wondering, how could I be given such a difficult task? It turns out this task is so simple!"

After saying that, she looked at the string of numbers on her phone and sighed most sincerely:

"I love the entertainment industry!"

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

Jiang Juyou: I really do, this is true! I love the entertainment industry to death!
