Chapter 53
As the time to get off work approached, people were already feeling depressed. Everyone was slacking off with their phones until the time came, but the big melon they were eating turned into their own garden.
The brains of the random entertainment staff crashed at this moment.
The social group also started to make a fuss.
"? Has anyone received the news that a new artist is coming?"
"@經洀部Is this true or false?"
"Don't tag me, I just found out about it on Weibo."
"Oh my god! It's Chen Xi!"
"Do you want to contact the marketing account to give them some attention?"
"Great, the only three artists in our company are women, I love them!"
There was no news of overtime, and except for the staff who had unfinished work, the rest of them got off work.
But the aftertaste did not fade, and everyone was still discussing it when they went to work the next day.
The protagonist of the topic, Hu Yixin, has not responded yet, and his studio is as good as dead, but netizens have discovered that the variety shows he has participated in have all started to retouch the footage, which basically means that people in the industry have already received the news that he has become a bad artist and can no longer perform in China.
The online discussions are all centered around Hu Yixin, and only the people at Random Entertainment still remember the sudden official announcement yesterday afternoon, and they were waiting for notification from the higher-ups when they went to work today.
Random Entertainment is a little different from other companies, it has its own in-house software, all work is done on it, and even the artists have their own in-house accounts.
Apart from the film and television department and the variety show department, other work is basically carried out around artists, so there is a section dedicated to artists in the internal software, which will list the various staff members and positions of the artist team, as well as the work being done and connected.
This morning when I came to the company, I saw that Chen Xi's name was indeed added to the art management section, but the list of staff members under her was still empty, and there was no arrangement.
During breakfast, everyone was discussing in a low voice:
"Are they hiring again?"
"It has nothing to do with us. Do you want to transfer to the artist team?"
"I have a friend who wants to join our company."
"There is no recruitment information yet. Let's wait and see."
Jiang Juyou, who had just got off the plane, pinched her brows and rushed to the company tiredly. She had been busy since she finished dealing with Chen Xi's affairs yesterday. After having dinner with her sister in the evening, she had to check Chen Xi's contract requirements with Cheng Yuan. She had to renegotiate the unacceptable parts, so she slept for an hour or two. Early
in the morning, she had to rush back to Beijing to meet with the company to plan Chen Xi's next steps.
I learned from her that the drama she was currently filming was her last job at Guoyao, and her endorsements were about to expire, so she needed to renew them or find new brands to work with. After the Chinese New Year, there were many public events, so they had to contact the organizers in advance.
But the premise for all this was to build a new team for Chen Xi.
Jiang Juyou, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, yawned while talking to someone in the company, "Let's arrange a life assistant first. Guo Yao might call her assistant back, so she can't be left alone in the hotel."
"...Just arrange the rest within this week. I'm almost at the company. I'll talk about the details in the afternoon."
Unlike the past days, the sun was particularly active today. It was bright just after nine o'clock. Jiang Juyou leaned against the car window and took a nap. The unique warmth of the winter sun enveloped her, dissipating some of her fatigue.
"We're here!" The driver in front said to the person behind after parking the car.
Jiang Juyou, who was a little drowsy, struggled to get up, "Thank you, Master..."
The security guard of the company building was very considerate. When he saw the car stop, he came over to see. After recognizing Jiang Juyou, he immediately went to the trunk to help take the luggage.
Jiang Juyou yawned after getting out of the car, but the cold wind woke her up. She said to the security guard, "I'll take it, thank you."
After Jiang Juyou put the luggage back in the office, she went downstairs to buy a cup of coffee, and then returned upstairs to prepare for the meeting.
The entertainment industry is composed of small circles. Usually everyone only moves in their own circle and has no idea what happened in other artists. Only when there is a big melon, the circle will be briefly integrated.
In addition to taking care of their own expenses, the train conductors have been away from Hu Yixin's scandal the longest this month. That scandal also involved random entertainment, which made them feel for the first time that random entertainment is a big company.
But no matter how big the company is, it can't stop them from cursing.
"Why didn't they promote the theme song after it came out? Why didn't they allow filming at the concert? I'm speechless, and I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. It's such a good promotional method, why didn't they use it?"
"Nothing can be more explosive than selling tickets for eight concerts at the same time. Which company would do such a thing?"
"It didn't feel real at all, and the concert just ended like that."
"It's all because of the concert that the popularity of the show has dropped a lot, it's so annoying!"
"Tickets for all eight shows were sold at the same time, and so many people were given tickets, but I didn't get a ticket for any of them. Didn't they say that there were only 300 fans on the entire online show? Who was competing with me for tickets?"
"Are there no activities in the next two weeks? The popularity is going to drop."
"It's fine if they don't allow us to cheer in front of the concert, but why can't fans support privately either... I can't stand this stupid company."
"If you keep going like this, I'll have a hard time not scolding you."
As a result, just after scolding in the morning, Random Entertainment posted an announcement on Gailexi's APP in the afternoon.
"The peripheral shop is officially in operation!"
"In order to ensure the delivery speed and quality of the goods, the goods in the peripheral shop are limited in time but not in quantity! The peripheral goods will be put on the shelves at 12:00 noon on the 1st of each month, and the order will end at 12:00 am on the 2nd."
"Fans can also participate in the peripheral design, come and sign up to submit your works! The works that pass the review today will be online next Monday~ [Click to jump]"
This announcement caught the fans off guard. They looked at the Chinese above and fell into deep thought. After reading it several times, they understood the meaning.
"I see. You can't buy it after that time, right?"
"...Then why don't you sell it?"
"Congratulations to the train conductors for coming up with a new profession - stir-frying Zhou Po!"
"I don't quite understand the fans' participation in the peripheral design. Can I DIY it myself?"
"Sisters, I've studied it thoroughly. New products are released on the first of every month. There is a limited time but no limit on quantity. They can be purchased within 24 hours, and the content of each month is different. Fans' participation in the peripheral design is actually giving fans a chance to publish photos. I just clicked in to see that you can upload pictures and format them into a photo album. After passing the commercial review, it can be put on the shelves on the first day. The price is determined by the company. For every copy sold, the designer can earn 10%. That is to say, if the profit of a photo album is 100 yuan, you can earn 10 yuan for every copy sold!"
"... The fans don't dare to take pictures. Where do they
get the photo albums?" "There are pictures of commuting to work."
"Who wants to go to work!!! I want concerts!!!"
"What a smart company, Crash Entertainment, it allows fans to come to the table legally, now all fans in the internal entertainment industry are coming to make money."
"I saw some art sisters submitting banners."
"Banner is also OK! Is my phone case OK?"
"All is OK!!! Anything can be made into peripherals, as long as it passes the review!"
Liu Yue followed the prompts on the page to jump to the app store and download the new software.
After downloading, it can be logged in directly with Gailexi's account. She clicked "Agree", and a question immediately appeared on the page: "Do you want to use [Today's Fortune|Lucky] to enter the platform?"
Liu Yue clicked "Confirm" and successfully entered the software, which reminded her that she could download the computer version for easy design and production.
There are various templates on the page, which can be searched directly. Liu Yue searched for photo albums directly. Photo albums are divided into many sizes. She chose a magazine-sized one with a fixed number of 129 pages.
"I don't know if it can pass the review..." Liu Yue frowned and hesitated.
Many fans in China may not have much experience, but she, who often follows overseas groups, has a lot of experience in hiding from staff to take live photos of concerts, but because Random Entertainment does not allow it to be posted, she has only posted pictures of Ye Xing going to and from work on Weibo.
Random Entertainment does not allow fans to post because of copyright and portrait rights, but now that they are all published by the company, it should be okay.
Thinking of this, she tried to import the photos she had made before.
Liu Yue had previously thought about waiting until the show was over, secretly printing a batch, and then selling them in a group, so that she wouldn't be caught by random entertainment, but now that she has the official background, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
That is -
"It must be approved!" Liu Yue clasped her hands and prayed tremblingly after clicking upload.
The peripheral shop function has always existed, but it has been idle. It has only been used when organizing birthday fan meetings for other artists, but the system and rules at that time were not like the current ones.
Because it was the first day online, Jiang Juyu also stayed in front of the screen, watching the fans' reactions, and reviewing the peripherals uploaded by fans with Li Yao and others.
It was clearly written in the announcement, but there was also a hidden rule, that is, only nineteen products will be put up every month regardless of category or artist.
Li Yao and her friends designed some of them themselves and left some space for fans. If fans can't fill in the blanks, they will choose some from their candidate peripherals to fill in the blanks.
Several people stayed in Jiang Juyou's office, scribbling on the screens of their mobile phones, and passed the first round of screening based on their preferences.
Zhao Xu said while looking at his mobile phone: "After that, it will be the first review by the art team and the review team. The art team will first screen out good peripherals, and then the review team will review the content. They are the first screen, we are the second screen, and finally it's your turn, you are the third screen." After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Juyou.
What to put on the peripherals every month is entirely decided by Jiang Juyou.
Jiang Juyou, who was sitting in front of the computer desk: "..."
She put on a speechless expression, "You guys will assign work to me."
Those people talked at once:
"Oh, isn't this trusting your aesthetics!"
"Yes! Everyone thinks the things you choose are beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, we definitely don't push the work to you just because we don't want to be cursed!"
Jiang Juyou was silent again: "..."
--------------------
Jiang Juyou: Since you've cursed me, let me earn more.
Ha! Although some people may have forgotten, it doesn't matter, I'll order it myself! A new foreshadowing has been dug out. The rich lady who sent Ye Xing to the hot search is Jiang Juyou's roommate Liu Yue!
