Chapter 84
Everyone knows that there is an off-site competition before the third public performance, which is the sales of each group in the pop-up store. The group with the highest sales can get a pop-up store with a unique theme for one month.
This alone is not enough to attract fans, but it also has a reward, that is, fans of the winning group can get a victory medal, free of charge.
It even comes with a small card.
For fans, it doesn’t matter whether the idols debut now, what matters is that they can’t lose.
Because of this rule, everyone is buying it with a vengeance. After the SSR card came out, they were already red-eyed and could not listen to advice.
Last time, there were carrots hanging in front of the full quota, but this time, nothing is needed. They may have brainwashed themselves.
Random Entertainment's sales are very transparent, so that each group likes to discuss it. This time, Xiaoka's sales exceeded 100 million, which made those fans of other companies dumbfounded and labeled Xiaomoli as "crazy".
Today is the day of the third public performance, and related discussions quickly occupied various platforms. There is not enough for them to talk about in the special group, and they also ran to the public group to open a post.
Passers-by are not interested in the performance stage and who is the TOP among the trainees, but they have not left out any of the management related to Random Entertainment.
Posts related to the pop-up store have been built high.
"Title: Eat melons and discuss / Pop-up store settlement is out, Xiaoka sold one small target."
"A 50-yuan Xiaoka sold one small target."
"The Xiaoka plus the peripherals, a total of more than three small targets, Jasmine sisters are going crazy."
"You guys are really, I'm crying, next time you print Money, can you call me?"
Comment area:
"Who won?"
"Xiaoka's sales are almost 2 million, I feel like we can go and compete with Kepaop."
"Wait for the entertainment, we will crush you right away, if we don't crush you, I'll just pretend I didn't say this."
"The sales of each company are not public, but there is a 70% chance that it is the Yuanxin group."
"Fifty yuan a card, but the lowest price in the second-hand market is 80 yuan a card, and even then it's still in short supply. If it's open for a while, the sales may be higher."
"I'm a passerby, I don't quite understand why the second-hand price is higher than the original price, can't I just buy it directly?"
"That means that next month, only the peripherals and small cards will be sold from Group C. Will they be new card faces?"
"Reply: Because sjyl's small cards can only be bought offline, if your home is not in one of those pop-up stores, you have to find a purchasing agent, and even purchasing agents may not be able to squeeze in, so there has always been a state of supply exceeding demand."
"The best company in the world for card speculators: Random Entertainment."
"It's not just Card Speculators, every fan doesn't want the cards they bought at a high price to lose value."
"It should be Group C that won. PLM's SSR has been speculated to 200,000 but no one is selling it. The last few were only released this week. I guess they bought a lot of them during that period."
"Then how is this calculated? Is it calculated as sales?"
"Small cards are individual sales, and peripherals are group sales. No matter whose card you draw, it can be counted as only one person's card. For example, I bought ten cards, and everyone can have them, but I recorded it as plm's sales, then this is plm's score. Winning depends on group sales, which means the final score is the peripheral sales plus the small card sales."
"You guys are making it complicated."
"The pop-up store sales ranking will be announced after gg is over! Go!!! Check it out!"
After the three public cover stages ended, it was time to announce the results of the off-court competition. Jiang Juyu and the trainees stood on the stage, and all the light was focused on them. Jiang Juyu, dressed in a white dress, was shining even more dazzlingly.
Every time Jiang Juyou came on stage, the audience would scream for a while. Her makeup was usually very light, and her lipstick only moisturized her lips. But today, Jiang Juyou changed her image and put on a strawberry berry lip gloss. When the stage light shone on her, her lips sparkled like glass balls, attracting everyone's attention.
It was a tense and serious moment, and Jiang Juyou didn't even smile, but everyone was still intoxicated by her beauty. The audience seemed to be drunk, limp, with a satisfied smile on their faces.
After the pop-up store promotional video ended, Jiang Juyou took a look at the process card and raised the microphone to say, "After nearly a month of competition, the sales ranking of the Time Train Pop-up Store in the domestic region has been announced."
"The winning team will receive an exclusive Pop-up Store theme, and the entire store will be filled with related displays of the winning team. Exclusive peripherals and previously unreleased photo cards will also be launched."
"Fans will also receive commemorative medals and gift cards with the winning team, and enjoy the honor together."
Jiang Juyou memorized the entire introduction. After she finished speaking, she put down the microphone, and the fan in front of her immediately shouted, "Sister, you are so beautiful ah ah ah——" Her shout
was heard by the whole audience, and even because of the problem with the radio in the venue, the audience watching the live broadcast heard it .
The scene and the bullet screen were full of haha ... The name of a member of Group A appeared, and the left position was marked with [1]. There was an uproar, because in everyone's impression, he was a trainee with relatively low popularity. Just when everyone was shocked by the result, another name of a member of Group A appeared, pushing his position down and becoming the new number one. At the beginning of the ranking, everyone was still confused, but after looking at a few more, they understood that it was announced in the order of the groups, and now the ranking within the group was displayed. When Group B was announced, the audience thought that the ranking of Group A would be cleared and started again, but it was directly operated on the ranking of Group A. The first person announced in Group B was ranked third in the entire Group A. "Wow..." "She was so happy just now, but now she scares me." "As pretty as Jiang Juyou is, the competition system of this show is just as scary..." "It's too cruel!"
After the entire B group was announced, the members of groups A and B were intertwined on the list. The highest ranking was the top popularity of group A, but the popularity of each person in group B was not much different, so several people in the back row were members of group A.
After group B was announced, it was group C.
The first one to be announced was Sang Mo.
"Circlecenter-Sang Mo: 120980"
120,000 sales ranked first.
The audience followed up with a sound:
"Wow——"
Two million sales of a boy group is not good enough in the Korean entertainment industry, and it may not even make it to the top of the list, but this is only domestic sales, and can only be purchased offline.
This sales volume is already at the top in China, where idol culture has not yet become popular.
Fans of other groups and group fans were watching excitedly, while fans of each group in Group C entered a battle mode. This list may be the source of their voice in the fan circle for some time to come, and everyone is very concerned. The
second person to be announced was Chen Wu, with sales of just over 110,000, and failed to grab the top spot.
The next one was Chi Qiao, with more than 110,000, and also failed. The
next one was Yao Shuo -
"Circlecenter-Yao Shuo: 120970"
The scene was noisy again, and everyone compared the sales of Sang Mo and Yao Shuo up and down, and looked at them several times before they dared to confirm.
"... I have goosebumps."
"They are only ten tickets away!"
"That was a close call... Shit."
"I almost peed myself."
The trainees were watching the screens below the stage. After seeing the results, Yao Shuo put his arm around Sang Mo's waist and whispered something in his ear. Sang Mo leaned back and patted his back.
At this moment, the results of a member of Group C were announced.
"Circlecenter-Gao Xiayu: 146180"
Sang Mo was replaced and became the second.
Gao Xiayu's fans below the stage were shouting like crazy, and the cheering sticks were waved, like grass swaying in the wind.
It has been three months since the show started, and Gao Xiayu's popularity has been climbing. His maturity and strategic planning in the show have attracted many fans.
People admire the strong, and anyone who has watched the show cannot resist Gao Xiayu's charm in the show. He is also the most popular one besides Pei Luming and Ye Xing. There may even be viewers who are picky about Pei Luming and Ye Xing, but there will definitely be no one who dislikes Gao Xiayu. Gao Xiayu
's fans were so excited that they cried, and shouted at Gao Xiayu on the stage.
"We did it, wuwuwuwuwu——"
"Gao Xiayu must debut as the center!"
The sobbing sound was louder than the shouting. Gao Xiayu saw it and waved his hand slightly to the fans over there, and even made gestures to comfort them and told them to stop crying.
His face was no longer serious as when he treated the members, but smiled and looked at the fans over there.
The only people in Group C who were not made public were Pei Luming and Ye Xing. The two of them were also the biggest attraction of this program. Fans of other groups all looked like they were watching a good show, and some even suppressed their expectations in advance.
"I think it's Pei Luming. They have too many die-hard fans, and you can see that Pei Luming always has solo and couple performances, so it must be him."
"I also think that Ye Xing is well-known among the public, and he always stands out."
"But Pei Luming's recognition is not low now." "
Pei Luming is well-known in the fan circle. Those photos of Ye Xing have been so popular on Douyin. If you open the comment section, five out of ten men have Ye Xing's avatar."
As they were talking, Ye Xing's ranking was announced.
"Oh my god - this is real!"
"Fuck, he alone holds up half the sky?"
"So this is the gap in popularity?"
All sales figures of the pop-up store are very transparent, and the number of small cards and peripherals sold will be clearly marked, but that data has nothing to do with this ranking, because the calculation method is completely different, and everyone can only guess.
But this is just like not having been to a paradise, you can only rely on imagination, but when you really see it, you will find that imagination is still too poor.
"Circlecenter-Ye Xing: 507964"
Two million sales, Ye Xing accounts for a quarter.
The fans in the audience were noisy, but the lucky moms didn't laugh, because Pei Luming's ranking has not yet come out.
Time seemed to be stretched at this moment, and Pei Luming's results were delayed.
Just as everyone was eagerly waiting, Pei Luming's name suddenly popped up on the screen.
"Circlecenter-Pei Luming: 507963"
ranked second -
at this time, the loudest cheers so far broke out in the field, and all of Ye Xing's fans stood up and applauded to celebrate this moment.
If you didn't hear this sound, you wouldn't know that there were so many Ye Xing fans at the scene.
"This is even more amazing, just one ticket away..."
"The dramatic effect is full."
"No, isn't the point that the two of them have a combined sales volume of one million?"
"Don't argue, you two are both TOP, okay?"
"Damn, why is my baby in Group A? If he went to Group C, he could still compete with Pei Luming."
No one expected that the sales volume between the two of them was only one ticket away. Ye Xing's fans at the scene were laughing so hard that their faces were about to break, while Pei Luming's fans sat in their seats speechlessly, looking like they didn't want to say a good word to the world anymore.
With this result, there is no need to wait for peripheral data, it is 100% that Group C will win.
This ranking screenshot has also been moved to other platforms. Looking from top to bottom, every data is full of dramatic effects. Group C has opposing TOPs, and of course other groups also have them. The battle has already begun before the performance is over.
In addition to Ye Xingjia, the fans at the scene are also very happy. The seven people in their group are overwhelming and directly ranked at the top.
After laughing, I remembered that I didn’t watch this during the debut competition, and my smile disappeared immediately.
This small event to generate revenue for random entertainment has become a small climax in the three months since the program was broadcast. This video was even cut into several parts and moved to the entire network by the marketing account. The names of Pei Luming and Ye Xing were once again remembered by the public, and they also deeply remembered that the two were TOP and the world enemy.
After such an intense mid-field activity, the people who have to perform must be under great pressure, and the one who bears this is Sang Mo from Group C.
He stood backstage and moved his body, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear that his heart would stop beating after stopping.
Because of the pressure, he felt as if his chest was being squeezed all the time, and it was difficult for him to breathe.
"You can go on stage now!" The staff member held the intercom and waved to Sang Mo, who was standing by, asking him to stand on the lift.
Sang Mo closed his eyes and clenched his fists, then turned and walked towards the stage.
The backstage was preparing for the group stage, no one was watching the live broadcast, and the fans at the scene were still talking about the rankings just now, and were a little absent-minded about the stage that was about to start.
Sang Mo squatted down and adjusted his earphones, and the lift started to move at this time. He quickly changed his state and stood up.
The fans who were still discussing something immediately focused their attention after noticing that it was Sang Mo.
In addition to Sang Mo, there was also a street lamp on the lift. A familiar melody sounded. Sang Mo, wearing a white shirt and jeans, raised his left hand and looked at the time as if he was waiting for someone.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew on the stage, blowing up the corners of his clothes, and the big screen was also equipped with a picture of rain.
It was "Stay" with a storyline.
The dynamic dance music with a repetitive rhythm was very brainwashing.
Sang Mo sang and slowly moved forward from the main stage. The dancers also came on stage at this time. The fans in the audience also screamed very politely -
"Ahhhhh male bodhisattva!"
"What the hell?!"
"Come to my side! Come here!"
Sang Mo held a microphone and had to coordinate the dance moves with his other hand. He couldn't take care of his clothes at all.
The whole dance route was set up with fans, blowing desperately at him under the stage. At this time, Sang Mo realized that it was not good. He forgot to put on the anti-exposure tape that he should have put on. The corners of his shirt were uncontrolled at this time, flying with the wind. The clothes were tightly attached to his body, and the six-pack abs inside were faintly visible.
Who has the energy to talk about the rankings now? Everyone is staring at Sang Mo. The row of fans closest to the stage has already started laughing, showing all eight teeth in a very standard way.
Standing on the stage is when things really start.
The whole stage has a lot of Freestyle parts. When he sings "oh-whoa", Sang Mo will fall to the dancers on both sides with the music, and the stage has long been surrounded by fans with fast movements, baring their teeth and wanting to reach out to catch the attention.
Everyone is watching happily, but Jiang Juyou, who is staring at the screen, frowned. She feels the pressure Sang Mo feels when facing this stage. She can see that he wants to appear a little more relaxed, but it is still very obvious.
But Jiang Juyu could understand his behavior, because Sang Mo's was the last cover stage, and after he finished, it would be the original stage for each group, with sandwiches from the front and back, so nervousness was inevitable.
The original song did not have too many high notes, but after the adaptation, a lot of improvised high notes were added to the last chorus. Sang Mo sang with his arms open, feeling that he had let go of the fear.
Jiang Juyu turned around and waited to go on stage.
Just as she was about to check the status of the microphone, she suddenly heard a very clear cracked sound from the earphone.
The group of people in the backstage who had already put on earphones probably heard it too.
Pei Luming looked at the screen and couldn't help shrinking his body when he heard the cracked sound. "It's over..."
Everyone was attracted by this sound and looked over and stopped in front of the screen.
Gao Xiayu also clenched his fists.
This was the first stage error in two seasons of the show.
You can imagine how serious this error was.
But Sang Mo on the stage acted as if nothing had happened. After completing the last part, he bowed to the fans in the audience and quickly ran off the stage.
"Did you break your voice just now?"
"Very good, it's live singing, and the mic is loud, I like this sincerity."
"I can't really tell."
"Singing and dancing at the same time is already pretty good."
"Ah - this is the downside of live broadcasts, I want to see Jiang Zhi's expression when he hears this!"
The screen flashed a section of reactions to Sang Mo's breaking voice just now. Sang Mo, who had just stepped off the stage, quickly returned to the backstage, while Jiang Juyou came on stage with her skirt lifted up, with a smile on her face, not at all as serious as everyone expected.
She spoke the interlude on the stage, and the screen started to discuss.
"Is this the first mistake that Sang Mo has made in two seasons?"
"It was just a broken voice. Which singer has never made mistakes? It's better than lip-syncing and tuning."
"But I think he handled the broken voice very well. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it."
"You make it sound like Sang Mo had a broken voice throughout the whole performance. So what if he broke a high note? He's not the lead singer."
"Ah? Weren't you guys trying to be the lead singer a few days ago? Now you're not the lead singer anymore?"
The quarrel on the screen didn't stop until the VCR of Group C appeared.
The preparation process for the third public performance had been shown before. The VCRs for each performance mainly played some clips of their practice.
The big screen went black, but a piece of audio that didn't sound like it was recorded by professional equipment came out -
the screen converted the voice into words to make it easier for the fans at the scene to hear clearly.
"Teacher! Something happened!"
"Teacher, teacher!"
"What happened?"
Pei Luming and Sang Mo's anxious voices came out. With just three sentences, they caught the attention of all the audience.
The screen lit up, and the shaky lens showed how suddenly the camera was turned on.
The staff followed Pei Luming and Sang Mo upstairs to Gao Xiayu's dormitory. Gao Xiayu was wearing pajamas and appeared in the public eye for the first time with such a haggard look.
His hair was messy, his eyes were red, and the other team members standing beside him turned around one by one, and were recorded by the camera.
Chen Wu looked at the teacher with a heavy face, "Teacher, Brother Xia Yu has lost his voice."
There was a gasp in the audience, and everyone realized that in last week's episode, Chen Wu was the one who led the practice, and Gao Xia Yu was standing by with a cup holding the whole time, watching. They thought Gao Xia Yu had a sore throat due to a cold, and the program team asked him to talk less and rest more.
"I was suddenly stabbed in the heart..."
"Please don't do this every time, I'm not feeling well."
"Why did you suddenly lose your voice?"
"Then will Gao Xiayu not play today?"
"He didn't even practice with the show last week! How can he play?"
"Will he be eliminated..."
The entire VCR revolves around Gao Xiayu. He went to the hospital for a check-up and found that he lost his voice due to too much stress, and the burden of managing the entire team fell on Chen Wu.
The things that were originally handled by Gao Xiayu were handed over to Chen Wu, and all fans followed Chen Wu to feel how Gao Xiayu usually worried about the team.
"I'd be under a lot of pressure too."
"It's unjust that Gao Xiayu doesn't make her debut, even if the producer is Jiang Juyou..."
"I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to have a heart attack."
The screen changed and the words 3 a.m. appeared on the screen.
When it came back on, it was Chen Wu and Gao Xiayu in the practice room together. The two of them were silent, practicing over and over again as if they were going to break their bones.
The fans in the audience held back their tears with their mouths clenched.
Just when the fans thought this was the limit of being stabbed, they suddenly saw Chen Wu raise his head, probably crying.
He said, "...No, I have to debut."
"I have to debut."
The screen suddenly cut to the backstage interview room. Yao Shuo pursed his lips and said, "Chen Wu is also under a lot of pressure. Before the second public performance, his grandmother fell ill and went to the hospital. Maybe..."
Then the screen switched to Pei Luming, who looked like he had cried and his eyes were red. "Little Wu didn't say anything. He kept everything to himself. I'm worried that he will get hurt. I hope the two brothers can rely on us."
Fans really hate random entertainment. Every time, the suspense is left until the end, catching people off guard.
But from this video, fans also know why Chen Wu is the one speaking today, and where Chen Wu went when he suddenly disappeared from a show last month.
The screen turned dark and the VCR ended.
The fans in the audience have not yet come out of their sad mood.
But there is someone who doesn't understand the situation, and suddenly asked the person next to him in this silence -
"So Gao Xiayu will be on stage today?"
--------------------
Fans: The big bad guy who picked up my heart and put it down again!
Currently, the progress of this article is one-third, and it is almost half. Then the main line is that Jiang Juyou operates the boy group. The film and television department and the variety show department are mainly to reflect the expansion and growth of random entertainment. There are not many roles, but if they are written, they are very important.
The male and female protagonists are platonic, spiritual love!
