Chapter 171 Return to Yun City, Group Meeting
Xie Qingyu's prediction was quite accurate. He set out to return to Yun City on the morning of the third day after arriving in Hai City.
Under the personal supervision of Hu Xuan, the relevant departments of Yunchuang Media completed the team building work with amazing efficiency.
You know, with Xie Qingyu's current popularity, people in the company are almost scrambling to join his team.
However, Hu Xuan insisted on strict screening and conducted a comprehensive investigation from professional ability to personality compatibility. The team list was not finalized until the evening of the next day.
In fact, he could have returned a day earlier that night, but the trip was postponed to the third day, mainly because he had to deal with the distribution rights issue of the two original songs "Monsoon" and "Day and Night" that he performed on the show.
According to the Copyright Law, unless otherwise agreed, the copyright of a musical work belongs to the creator himself.
Now that Xie Qingyu has signed with Yunchuang Media, the company will take over the distribution of these two songs, and the program platform will no longer be responsible.
In other words, the platform mainly connects with the entire MYST7 group, rather than individual members.
After returning to Yun City, as soon as the plane landed and taxied, Hu Xuan received a message from the ground staff that many fans who came to pick her up had gathered in the airport arrival hall.
She turned to look at Xie Qingyu, who was wearing a bucket hat and a mask, and said hesitantly, "There are quite a few fans over there. Do you want to go through the VIP channel?"
As a senior agent, she instinctively tends to avoid possible safety risks.
Xie Qingyu tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his slender fingers. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "How's the order at the scene? Has it caused congestion?"
His voice came through the mask, with a somewhat muffled texture.
Hu Xuan raised an eyebrow in surprise, then understood. "Not really. The fans were standing in an orderly manner on both sides." She paused and added, "It looked like it was organized by the fan club. They were holding up support signs, but they didn't affect other passengers."
"Then let's go through the normal passage." Xie Qingyu pushed down the brim of his hat, a faint smile in his voice, "Don't let them wait in vain."
Hu Xuan couldn't help but look at the young man again.
After so many years in the entertainment industry, she has seen too many artists with polarized attitudes towards their fans - either over-catering or avoiding them.
Xie Qingyu's way of handling the situation, which maintained distance while maintaining warmth, was a rare example of sobriety.
As the cabin door opened, Xie Qingyu adjusted the position of his mask and walked towards the exit at a leisurely pace.
Hearing shouts from afar, he looked up slightly and saw fans standing neatly in the pick-up area, holding light signs with his name on them, but no one crossed the cordon.
"Qingyu baby, mommy misses you so much!!!"
"Today is Kukuyu's~~"
"Xie Qingyu, I love you, take care of yourself!"
"We will always support you!"
Amidst the shouts, Xie Qingyu stopped, bowed slightly towards the fans, and then made a "hush" gesture, indicating that everyone should keep quiet and not disturb other passengers.
This simple action immediately lowered the volume of the atmosphere, and the fans tacitly changed to waving.
When walking out of the airport passage, Xie Qingyu suddenly raised his hand, pushed his fisherman's hat back, and took off his mask.
This casual action caused a burst of cheers from fans, who then tacitly formed a human wall to block the photographers outside.
"Baby, can you please receive the letter?" A girl with a ponytail carefully handed over a letter.
There were handmade flowers on the envelope, and a Q-version of him was drawn with colored pens. The strokes were childish but full of childlike fun.
Xie Qingyu curved her eyebrows and reached out to take it: "Thank you." The moment her fingertips touched the envelope, a suppressed cheer erupted behind her.
As if a switch had been turned on, fans took out carefully prepared letters and small gifts from their bags - plush pendants, handmade dolls, embroidered stickers... These were all small items that were inexpensive but full of thought.
Xie Qingyu's hands were soon filled, and her slender fingers could hardly hold the increasing number of envelopes.
Hu Xuan handed over a brown paper bag at the right time, but tacitly did not do it for her.
She knows that fans care most about this sense of ritual of hand-delivery.
In addition to that, there was a bouquet of flowers. When Xie Qingyu walked to the nanny car, her arms were already full of flowers.
Pink and white baby's breath, light blue hydrangea, bright yellow sunflowers...flowers of various colors are particularly bright under natural light, as if they are embracing the entire spring in advance at the end of summer.
After carefully placing the gifts, Xie Qingyu suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to the group of fans not far away.
The eyes of several sentimental girls in the crowd were already red.
"Goodbye, baby. Will we meet again next time?" A voice came softly, as if talking to itself.
Xie Qingyu, who was about to get in the car, suddenly stopped, turned his head and accurately found the source of the sound, blinking in that direction: "Of course."
The car door slowly closed amid the screams of fans.
Xie Qingyu lowered her head and sorted the letters in her arms, her fingertips stroking the carefully decorated envelopes.
Hu Xuan looked at his focused profile in the rearview mirror and smiled in good spirits. Some people are born to be in the spotlight, not only because of their talent, but also because of the gentleness that cherishes every thought.
Yueyu Times Culture Media Co., Ltd. is the operating company specially assigned by Grape TV for MYST7.
Although the company is not large in scale, it is responsible for operating this group and it cannot be said that it does not attach importance to it.
And judging from the platform's intention, the "Road to Star Dreams" project should continue, so this company will probably specialize in operating limited groups that debuted through auditions in the future.
But that’s all in the past. Currently, MYST7 is the only group operated by this company and the leading boy group of Grape TV, so they are definitely treated like their own sons.
Xie Qingyu was reading the brand cooperation information sent by Hu Xuan when a message from Leo suddenly popped up on his phone:
[Leo Dog (Leo): Where's my brother? [Puppy wagging its tail.gif]]
Xie Qingyu switched to the navigation and checked the estimated time of arrival:
Yu Yuzi (Xie Qingyu): About 20 minutes. Are you all here?
As soon as the message was sent, I received a reply:
Leo: We're here! They're so noisy, I'm staying far away and being super quiet. Come sit next to me [Puppy spinning in circles.gif]
Xie Qingyu looked at the dog emojis jumping on the screen, as if he could imagine Leo waiting for him eagerly in the conference room.
He chuckled, sent a nodding cat emoticon, and continued to study the information.
I had just opened it when messages from several other sources came in one after another. Some were implicit, some were brief, some were suggestive, and some were violent.
Forget it, there is no need to look at the information. It will probably arrive after you reply to these messages.
As soon as the car stopped in front of Yueyu Times and Xie Qingyu got out, he saw Leo jumping towards him.
Wei Liangchen followed closely behind, and the two of them hung directly on him, one on the left and one on the right.
"Brother! Give me the bag!" Leo quickly snatched his backpack.
"Are you tired, benefactor? Let me give you a massage!" Wei Liangchen pretended to pinch his shoulders.
Other members also slowly gathered around and sent out warm "greetings".
Xie Qingyu looked down at his empty hands, then glanced at the two 'human-shaped pendants' hanging on his body, and sighed helplessly.
The bag is gone, but the burden has doubled.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was making noise, he looked up at the company's building and the surrounding environment.
The location far away from the city center makes the surrounding environment particularly quiet and the greening is quite well done. Of course, those who understand will understand that this location is mostly chosen to avoid fans from gathering and causing trouble.
But breathing in the fresh air and listening to the noisy chatter of the members around me, I still feel better.
With the arrival of Xie Qingyu, the group meeting officially kicked off.
The content of the meeting mainly revolved around several core sections: group positioning and goal planning, resource allocation and member division of labor, operation and management structure, initial event planning, fan operation and commercialization path, etc.
Xie Qingyu quickly browsed the terms of the contract and found that they were basically consistent with Hu Xuan's previous analysis.
The platform adopted a compromise strategy in business contracts, retaining personal business contracts but firmly controlling group endorsement rights.
The contract period is clearly set at two years, which means that MYST7 will exist as a two-year limited group.
Based on industry experience, this cycle is indeed not long. Many groups may face disbandment just as they have accumulated fans.
Especially for the concept group positioning envisioned by the platform, time is even more urgent.
However, there is an interesting clause in the contract: after the two-year term expires, if the members wish to continue activities with the original team, Yueyu Times will have priority in operation.
Xie Qingyu tapped this clause lightly with his fingertips, and the corners of his lips raised slightly. The platform seemed to be quite confident in their team spirit.
In the conference room, the legal teams of each brokerage company are confirming the details one by one.
Hu Xuan sometimes communicated with other agents in a low voice and sometimes put forward suggestions for revisions.
After several rounds of negotiations, the final version of the contract was unanimously approved.
When the seven contracts were signed one after another, the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper was particularly clear in the conference room.
Xie Qingyu raised his eyes and looked around. Ding Zai was winking at him, You Jinzhao was secretly moving his stiff wrist, Bai Lang still had a blank expression but sat upright... These partners with very different personalities were now closely linked by a contract.
In the next two years, they will jointly write the story of this group.
No matter what the outcome is, the choice at this moment has already destined this experience to become an unrepeatable chapter in each other's lives.
The most important contract issue has been properly resolved, and the next step is the specific arrangements for each sector.
The album preparation work has been officially put on the agenda. Currently, there are a considerable number of tracks included, but they are still undergoing strict screening.
The platform insists on taking the high-quality route, so it naturally has to be extremely cautious. If the quality of the works cannot continue the level during the program, it will not only be branded as ugly, but the group may also be labeled as "poor quality of works after formation."
Therefore, the importance of this first album is self-evident.
Xie Qingyu flipped through the project plan and noticed that the first regular album would include 10 tracks, of which the debut song "Mystery Love" had been confirmed, and the remaining 9 were still being carefully selected.
Seeing how much importance the platform attaches to it, it will surely not let them act on their own.
Taking into account the production cycle, how to fill the gap in between depends on how the company plans and manages.
Another key issue is positioning within the team.
The C position is self-evident, but the captain's position is even more crucial, not only holding real power but also shouldering heavy responsibilities.
At first, the members tended to nominate Xie Qingyu, whose leadership ability in the show was obvious to all.
But after weighing the pros and cons, Xie Qingyu politely declined.
After all, in the coming year, he has to participate in intensive group activities and prepare for the college entrance examination. The principle of biting off more than you can chew is true everywhere.
Out of consideration for the group, the other members did not insist.
Finally, after collective negotiation, the position of captain of MYST7 was awarded to Gu Yan - with the way this "human shrewd" deals with things, he will never let his team suffer.
The meeting lasted until dusk, during which time everyone just had a quick meal.
For ease of management, the seven of them will be staying in a dormitory tonight.
The special vehicle for picking us up was already waiting downstairs.
The luggage will be delivered later.
After saying goodbye to Hu Xuan, Xie Qingyu and the other members boarded the nanny car back to the dormitory.
