Chapter 73

The atmosphere on stage was tense. The music teacher on the scene also added music to set the mood, hoping to make the announcement of the second place more tense.

The faces of two people were displayed on the big screen, and the fans in the audience held up banners and light boards and shouted their names.

Jiang Juyou, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, just smiled at the scene on the stage. She lowered her eyes, refreshed the interface, and took a look at the hot search rankings.

The front row of the hot search list was already occupied by random entertainment, with entries for official debut competitions, group concepts, individual posters, and even trainees being admitted to prestigious schools.

Jiang Juyou, who was sitting in the crowd, straightened his back, stretched his shoulders back, and the smile behind the mask was even more brilliant. She was very satisfied with the contrast between on and off the stage.

"Let's go." Jiang Juyou said to the staff members who were accompanying her.

Not only Jiang Juyou came this time, but also several teams from the A&R department, and the team from the variety show department who would be in charge of the debut competition program, a group of more than 30 people.

When the second place was announced on the stage, Jiang Juyou led the team to stand up, tidied their clothes in front of the audience, and then turned around and left.

Deliberately choose this moment, deliberately make a commotion, deliberately not keep a low profile.

"Oh my god..."

"I didn't even dare to look up, for fear of being remembered."

"This place is so messed up, it's almost thrown in the face of the program team."

"Although I came to watch the finale, I am still a casual entertainment person."

"It's too late."

Many of the audience at the scene were people who followed the original "Youth Throbbing 21 Times". Facing this scene, everyone will only be more excited, and they can't wait for them to fight immediately.

Jiang Juyou and her friends' actions were soon posted online. The forum criticized her for being disrespectful, and some said that her behavior was very enjoyable to watch.

Everyone also quickly understood why they chose today to announce it.

“Title: Eat melons and argue/But I still think that hangover medicine is so cool…”

“She chose today to make the official announcement. In addition to wanting to steal the limelight from the fruit station, I think what’s even cooler is that she is very confident in herself. She knows very well that everyone will be looking forward to the debut competition, and that everyone will come to watch it. She also understands that this public expectation will definitely put them on the hot search list.”

“If today’s official announcement didn’t make the hot search list, and it was just the fans’ self-congratulation, then she would definitely be ridiculed for stealing the limelight on the spot, but the opposite is true.”

“It’s so cool that hangover medicine is so confident!”

“It makes me look forward to the debut competition even more! I also look forward to the group she will form!”

Comment area:

“The animated picture of her getting up and leaving is so cool. I want to open it and watch it again when I see it.”

"People who don't know how to scold her for being rude, Hangover Medicine has been quietly dragged down by them for half a year. Why don't these people blame the program team?"

"Am I the only one who noticed that their group is all women? I just checked and 90% of SJYL's employees are women."

"I have no quality, so I think I'm very handsome and happy. It's OK as long as I'm happy. I don't care what those moral role models think."

"Ninety percent are women, which is a bit exaggerated. There are still many male staff in their performance department, but it is true that 95% of the senior management are women. Only the senior management of the performance department are men, and the rest are female staff."

"People will fall in love with Hangover Medicine repeatedly at different times~"

"Her confidence is really charming, damn! Woman, you have taken advantage of me. I just believe in the taste of Hangover Medicine unconditionally."

"I am dying of laughter. There is also a live video of the show's fans taking out hangover remedies!"

Random Entertainment completely dominated the hot searches, once again proving its influence in front of the public both inside and outside the circle.

Before, rumors about the debut contest were spread every month, but they were all made-up. Every time the whistleblower was asked to provide some evidence, they would cancel their accounts and leave.

The circle has not issued any definite news, and even the employees of Random Entertainment can't do anything about it, because the company just doesn't follow the usual path.

Normal variety shows will do a good job of attracting investors before the show starts, and the employees of Random Entertainment also think so. They even prepared an investment promotion meeting, waiting for Jiang Juyou to come back for a meeting to discuss which brands to send invitations to.

As a result, the first thing Jiang Juyou did when he returned to China was to issue an order to announce the start date of the debut contest.

So it’s not that the staff of Random Entertainment are strict, but they really didn’t expect that there would be a variety show that doesn’t do business.

This time, the program of "Time Train Countdown" is the same as before, broadcast on the subtitle station, and there is no advertisement during the competition period.

The fans who smelled the blood immediately understood from this point that Random Entertainment must have prepared a lot of means to cut leeks. The big fans immediately sent out fan opinions, asking everyone to save their money first in case Random Entertainment suddenly makes a move.

The super chats of the trainees have also become active for a long time, and the number of fans has increased rapidly. The data team has not seen so many people online at the same time for a long time, and the management team almost hugged each other and cried.

The official announcement of Random Entertainment brought the New Year early, and fans were so excited that they wanted to go out and set off fireworks to celebrate.

Some just said it, and some really did it.

Ye Xing has many wealthy fans, so some really set off fireworks to celebrate for Ye Xing.

In addition to celebrating seeing the fresh Ye Xing after a long time, what is even more important to celebrate is that Ye Xing was admitted to a key high school in Beijing.

Among the 21 trainees, more than half are in the third year of junior high school. When they came back for the exam two months ago, they briefly caused a heated discussion, but they only stayed for a few days and left immediately after the exam, leaving quietly.

During the summer vacation, Random Entertainment did not update much material, and the activity of the fan circle also decreased, causing the trainees' presence in various forums to decrease, and no one cared about their high school entrance examination situation.

Random Entertainment has always protected the privacy of the trainees, until today when they returned to China, the trainees are about to start school, and the admission lists of major schools have been made public, and everyone has paid attention to the trainees' high school admissions.

The high school entrance examination scores of each trainee have increased slightly compared to the past, and Ye Xing has been admitted to a key high school, and even ranked among the top. His news also became a hot topic along with the announcement of the debut competition.

Many student parties who came to eat melons suddenly discovered that Ye Xing was going to be their classmate.

Ye Xing's good results gave a great relief to the lucky mothers who had been oppressed in the past six months.

Because they were ranked 21st in the previous survival competition, they would be brought up every time they had a fight. This ranking may seem painless, but it actually means they have a say in the fan circle.

Especially when they fight with Pei Luming's fans, the right to speak is even more important.

Ye Xing was admitted to a key high school, which made them feel proud, and many fans came back.

What is even more grateful is that after half a year of training, Ye Xing's appearance has changed and he has become more handsome. This face alone can be a confidence.

After getting rid of his childish face, his facial features have become more three-dimensional and profound. The official photo with blond hair has amplified his artistic aura, like a work of art that escaped from a museum.

The concept of the single official poster is a bionic man who just got out of the cabin.

In the experimental factory with a silver background, glass cubes were shattered, and the wires and pipes behind him fell down in a mess. Ye Xing stood in front of the broken cubes, holding the glass fragments with his mechanical hands, with a dangerous smile on his lips. His messy blond hair blocked one eyebrow, which should have covered some of his aggressiveness, but his eyes staring at the camera were too firm, like a killer locking his prey, and his emotions rushed over his face.

It was obviously a frozen photo, but everyone seemed to see the chaos of the factory at that time.

And Ye Xing's photo was forwarded hundreds of thousands of times, crushing the tens of thousands of forwarded and liked data of other trainees.

"She has the appearance of a wooden beauty, but she is a god for still photos."

"Ye Xing is amazing whether it is A cut or B cut, what a great face."

"This poster is amazing, whether it is the props in the background or Ye Xing's movements, everything is perfect, even the strands of hair blocking her eyes are just right."

"Other trainees' posters are like themselves, but Ye Xing's posters always have the feeling of a plot character, I can make up a lot of stories in my mind."

"I say it again: Ye Xing! God for still photos!"

"It's really amazing, Ye Xing gives people a sense of stiffness when dancing, but when taking still photos, her body is particularly relaxed and stretched."

"Blond hair! It's blond hair! Ahhhh blond hair!"

"Everyone is so good at speaking, unlike me who can only

say

ahh

...

In the business car, Yang Siyu also saw the announcement posted in the internal software. She turned around and asked Jiang Juyou who was sitting behind her, "We will go into the park to shoot the day after tomorrow, so it will have to be released in two days. Will it be in time? If we don’t find the previous editing team again, I remember that we were very fast in releasing films before."

Jiang Juyou froze when she heard this. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem... I've already contacted them."

She clicked the system silently in her heart, "Then... there will be a discount, right?"

System: "..."

It clearly said that it would be broadcast next week, but the wait this week was particularly anxious. Fans even felt that this week was more difficult than the previous six months. The employees of Random Entertainment were too tight-lipped and no news could be dug out.

They filmed at the same park as before, which was impossible to enter. It was impossible to find out what was going on. The only thing they knew was that they had already entered, the program had already started recording, and it would be broadcast tomorrow.

This week was as quiet as the calm before a storm. Not only was there no Reuters coverage of the program, but Random Entertainment was also so quiet. They were really a little uncomfortable.

Their sixth sense told them that something should happen today, so fans kept refreshing Random Entertainment's official account.

But when asked where this intuition came from, a fan replied:

"No, the program is not soliciting investment this time. Although it is good, it means that it will have to go crazy from time to time to plan an event and then reap a wave of leeks... It will be broadcast tomorrow, and I think it will definitely sell something today. Come on, my wallet is ready."

As soon as a big fan finished saying this, the official account of Random Entertainment went online.

"Title: Eat melons and discuss/report - it's sold! It's on sale!!!"

"Shit Entertainment has just officially announced! The finale is scheduled for February 3rd! Held at Hangzhou Aocheng Stadium!" "

[ps. Hangzhou Aocheng Stadium can accommodate 89,000 people]"

"They also sold a cheering stick! It's the little Hundred Flowers in the concept short film!"

Comment area:

"?"

"It hasn't even started yet, and she's already sold the finale?"

"I saw someone in the group post sjyl to report the stadium in Hangzhou. I thought it was a fake melon, but it turned out to be real."

"Suddenly I feel a lot more relieved. It's good that it's sold, otherwise I'm afraid it will go bankrupt."

"Eighty-nine thousand...what's the list price?"

"The ticket price is still the original price. Tickets will go on sale in two hours. Tickets can be refunded at any time one month before the show. You can't choose your seats by buying them on Galenxi. You can only choose the price. The seats will be released a week before the show. Sisters, no more words to say. I'll take this 89 yuan!"

"The concept of the cheering stick is amazing. It's the first time I've seen such a miniature cheering stick... It made my eyes go dark."

"Ah... I saw the cheering stick..."

"What's wrong with the cheering stick? Are there any pictures?"

"I saw it..." "

This is the first time I've seen a cheering stick the size of the index fingernail in all my years of chasing stars."

"But it's three yuan each!"

"Based on SJY's previous pricing, there won't be only three people debuting, right?"

"21 to 3?"

"How is that possible!!! There must be seven people. She has always been divided into groups of 7!"

"No, you didn't understand. You can DIY the cheering sticks. You can buy a few and string them together to make a bracelet. If you use a ribbon, it's a bracelet, and if you use an elastic band, it's a hairband. If you want to have a light card battle, you can also string together the trainees' names."

The two things officially announced in the afternoon successfully dominated the forum. The entertainment circle groups in the inner entertainment are now full of related topics. Some are discussing why the venue was chosen to be so large, and some are discussing what else can be DIYed into with the three-dollar light beads.

Fans were stunned after seeing these two official announcements, but it seemed particularly reasonable to attribute them to random entertainment.

"I can't stand it. Who told me that they would start selling tickets two hours in advance?"

"Can the cheering stick really be strung with the trainees' names? Will it violate the rules? Can we ask the fan club to ask? If it doesn't violate the rules, we can buy it and use it as a light sign."

"Are we too kind? We have to ask before making a light sign."

"If it's 89,000, how many seats will be sold? At least 80,000 seats... I will be wrong if I can't grab 80,000 seats."

"You are not willing to sell tickets so suddenly? When more people join in after the show starts, will you still be able to grab a seat?"

"Ah... I didn't think of this. Thank you Random Entertainment for your mercy."

"How kind! It's still 580... This time, there must be a seat for me in the 580. I want a small card!"

"Gail Xi has already been able to make an appointment. Damn, I clicked on it and saw that 170,000 people wanted to watch it... Am I responsible for that?"

It is indeed the calm before the storm. Now the storm has come, and everyone is in a mess, preparing to grab tickets and studying how to use the cheering stick.

There are multiple versions of objects on the official poster of the cheering stick provided by Random Entertainment. The first one is the widely discussed small light bead. It is only the size of a fingernail and looks like the small flower in the concept short film. The white flower bud is matched with two green leaves. There is a long crack on the tail leaf stem, which can be threaded with a ribbon. There is also an example picture next to it. A dozen light beads are strung together with a white ribbon to turn it into a bracelet.

The second object is the cheering stick that everyone knows, a transparent acrylic ball with a white handle, and the contents inside are small light beads. The third object is something similar to a tambourine, on which you can hang small light beads.

With so many versions, the only thing that remains unchanged is the small light beads inside.

In the official demonstration video, the light beads in the cheering stick will make a sound after shaking and colliding, and the brightness of the light beads will also be different due to different shaking strengths. The one on

the rocker is even more obvious, it can make a sound, similar to the crisp sound of a small bell.

There are so many items, and the prices are different. The light beads are three yuan each and need to be bought separately, the cheering sticks are sixty-nine yuan, and the bells are forty-nine yuan.

Just like the concert ticket prices, there are different stages to cater to fans of different backgrounds.

"No, who is it looking down on? Is the price so low because it's afraid that I can't afford it?"

"So, is there any fan club to ask? If I can make a light sign, I will place an order for 100 light beads now."

"In this case, I usually go all in, but after all I went all in, it only cost a little over 100... I've never followed a star who is so frugal."

"I just got into it, sorry to ask, are all random entertainment items so cheap?"

"Yes, random entertainment items are very cheap, but they are limited edition."

"...This is a flower bud...Will there be a second or third edition in the future?"

"..."

"It feels like we have discovered the truth."

"Then I'll stock up and sell them to group fans on the tenth anniversary."

Two hours passed slowly in the chaotic discussion. On the surface, everyone deliberately avoided mentioning the finale tickets, but privately they had already started testing the network speed.

Ten minutes before the tickets go on sale, you can enter the venue in advance to fill in your information.

People who haven't used Gail Xi to buy tickets for a long time found that its ticket-buying interface has been revised.

"Why are there still bullet screens?"

"Hi~sisters~"

"It can choose people?!?!"

Not only did the ticket-buying interface have bullet screens, but there was also an additional information that needed to be filled in.

The form below asked the ticket buyer: "Please select the fan area you want in the form."

When I opened it, I saw that there were not only the names of the twenty-one trainees, but also the options of the ABC groups.

Everyone happily chose, and praised random entertainment, and the pop-up screen also gave a round of applause to random entertainment, but gradually everyone found that something was wrong.

The seat map at the top of the ticket purchase interface showed a clumping situation.

Group C was Gao Xiayu's group, and the seats were concentrated on the right side of the stage. Now the right side of the screen was green, and the seats of Group A on the left were not so full.

"Hey guys, let's do a fan survey."

"There are so many people in Group C?"

"Is there an option to accept an adjustment?"

"Is the number of fans corresponding to each trainee fixed?"

"What if, I mean what if, a C fan chooses A?"

"They will be beaten to death by the other toxic fans in Group A."

"Why do you have to do this? Take back my exaggeration."

"No, the number of fans is not fixed. You can see that the area here in Group C is obviously larger than that in the other two groups. It should be that the more people choose, the larger the area will be, and the fewer people choose, the smaller the area will be."

At the same time, Jiang Juyu was also holding her mobile phone and looking at the barrage on the ticket-grabbing interface. Her expression did not show any panic because of the words on the barrage.

The system became curious, "Why is it set up like this?"

You know, every time Galex makes a modification, it costs a lot of money, and this money will even increase as the level increases. The setting that Jiang Jueyu added this time cost nearly a million.

In the eyes of the system, this is a completely unnecessary setting, because it can only be used in group concerts. How many groups are there in the country? Not to mention that those groups are not suitable for their software.

In other words, this modification that cost millions only exists for random entertainment groups, and it is limited to the program.

Jiang Jueyu heard the system's question, but she didn't answer it immediately. Instead, she stared at the increasingly large Group C area and bullet screen on the screen.

People have already started to take sides on the bullet screen. People are not discussing whether this function is good or bad, but arguing about which group is more popular.

The area of ​​Group C on the screen was getting wider and wider, and the areas of the other groups were being squeezed out.

The number of people online suddenly increased while the ticket grabbing interface was on. Jiang Juyou could imagine the screens of those people going to Weibo to ask for help.

Many people probably didn't know about the ticket grabbing yet, but in just this short period of time, more than 400,000 people wanted to watch this concert, and the number of people online at the same time exceeded 530,000.

Different shades of green competed for position, and the bullet screen turned into a group battle.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Juyou smiled. She chuckled and answered the system, "You can cultivate fans of only one member, and you can cultivate fans of a group. Haven't you seen that they are automatically divided into groups now?"

When interests and fame are tied together, toxic fans can also be gathered together, and a sense of collective honor can be cultivated.

The number of people in the group has not yet been announced, but everyone knows that it will be these three groups that will compete.

During the months when the program was broadcast, the performance of each trainee was tied to the group, and it was difficult for fans of only one member not to stand in the perspective of fans of the group.

"Do you know why Group C is the most popular?" Jiang Juyou suddenly asked the system.

The system hesitated for a moment, "... because there are many popular members?"

She laughed again, "Because most people like the trainees, they are in this group."

"......?"

Jiang Juyou looked at the question mark in front of her and smiled even more brilliantly, "In the three groups of A, B and C, no one has ever been in the same group before."

She was talking about the grouping system of "Youth Throbbing 21 Times". Take the seven people in Group C, Gao Xiayu, for example. They had almost never been in the same group during the previous competition. Occasionally, two people were in the same group, like Yao Shuo and Ye Xing were in the same group during the final performance.

At that time, the competition system was a duel within the group, which caused the audience to only pick within the group when watching, and there were so many groups, and the audience basically had a pick in each group when watching.

The ABC groups were divided in this way. The images and feelings of the three groups are all different, which is completely related to the audience's preference for choosing them.

The reason why Group C consists of Gao Xiayu, Chen Wu, Sang Mo, Ye Xing, Chi Qiao, Yao Shuo, and Pei Luming is because some of the audience elected them in a row when voting.

In other words, Jiang Juyou had laid out a plan since then.

Breaking them up was to prevent competition among fans, requiring the election of seven people in a row was for the reorganization of the debut competition, and dividing ABC in this way was to collect the fans of the group.

And spending nearly one million to modify a setting is to refine the fans of the group.

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

Jiang Juyou: Ha, you didn't expect it!

I don't know if you understood the latter part. My CPU was about to burn out when I was laying out the plan. I thought it would be discovered, but no one seemed to care. Today I dug out the foreshadowing, and I don't know if I wrote it clearly.
