Chapter 110: Devil-like minions
In the middle of the night, Wang Chuyang couldn't resist his curiosity and searched the four words "New Entertainment Three Sons" on the search engine.
From the first one to the hundredth one, each one is a question.
[How to delete the new entertainment ads from Penguin Space]
[How to close the new entertainment promotion of Space]
How to delete...
Wang Chuyang clicked on the first one.
Some people teach seriously, some people's methods don't work, and some people just talk nonsense to earn experience points.
One of them made Wang Chuyang cover his chest.
[That guy called Wang Chuyang is so ugly, it affects the aesthetics of my space. I want to turn off this promotion! ]
Wang Chuyang felt unwell.
However, what Wang Chuyang didn't expect was that he witnessed his fans' first action with his own eyes.
A lot of newly created accounts came to criticize this person.
[Wang Chuyang is so handsome, you say he is ugly? Are you blind? ]
【Haha, just jealousy. 】
[What kind of a douchebag are you? You call me ugly when I'm so handsome? Don't you know what you look like? You're too douchebag! ]
Wang Chuyang had a puzzled look on his face. It’s only been half a day since I released the song, and already I have loyal fans?
In the morning, Wang Chuyang got up and went to ask, only to find out that the fan group had organized into various departments since last night.
If anyone insults the New Entertainment Three, they will insult them back, and ten times as much.
Whenever anyone slanders the three from Xinyu Entertainment, they will find someone to delete the post or scold the other party so much that they dare not say a word.
Wherever the three new entertainment stars appear, there will be people who specifically post their handsome photos, and the fans of each of the three must post at least three posts, and the team fans must post at least five posts.
Whenever...
After figuring out the dozens of things they had to do after becoming fans, Wang Chuyang realized.
"They are... paying to come to work here? And they work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?"
"Brother Han is so scary... Is this possible?"
After arriving at the practice room, Wang Chuyang saw Wang Mo and Lin Jianqiu looking at the same mobile phone.
Of course, it’s not because of how close their relationship is, but because Wang Mo’s cell phone is with Wang Chuyang.
Obviously, they didn't listen to Han Zhou and searched for him online and looked up his account on Weibo.
It is impossible for them to operate their own accounts. It is all in the hands of the company's operations staff.
All arrangements will be made by Sister Hong.
Lin Jianqiu looked a little conflicted .
Because Lin Jianqiu’s fans have dug up all his ancestors.
In the comment section, some fans expressed sympathy for Lin Jianqiu, saying that Lin Jianqiu now has to study and be an idol at the same time. Because his family was poor when he was a child and his foundation was poor, he practiced alone until midnight, practicing everything from vocal music, musical instruments, music theory, dance, and body shape.
Then someone said, "His uncle is called Lin Xiaoxing, and you're telling me that his family has no money?"
Some people even know who his mother is: "Her mother was famous all over the country 20 years ago and was one of the most popular actresses at the time. It is said that she married a wealthy man and retired from the entertainment industry. This person must be Lin Xiaoxing's eldest brother, right? You told me that Lin Jianqiu's family has no money?"
Someone immediately explained: "What does his uncle's wealth have to do with his family? Lin Jianqiu's parents don't have a good relationship with Lin Xiaoxing. Jianqiu never said on Weibo that Lin Xiaoxing is his uncle, and he doesn't want to make trouble. He just wants to make a real debut through his own efforts."
"Lin Jianqiu's family conditions are indeed not good. Although his family lives in Yanjing, it is actually an old and dilapidated house with the whole family crammed into a house of more than 20 square meters."
Lin Jianqiu retreated tactically: "It's not that bad."
"My house is at least 40 to 50 square meters."
Forty or fifty square meters sounds miserable, but it is a property in Yanjing after all. Although it is not worth the money, this kind of contradiction is very common in Yanjing, but overall it is considered an ordinary Yanjing citizen family.
"No, why are they so familiar with me?"
Wang Mo: "Haha, there must be someone in our team who is a double agent."
"On one hand, they are people we planted among the fans, and on the other hand, they are people the fans planted among us."
"These guys might even know what color underwear you're wearing today."
Lin Jianqiu was speechless: "Is this what it means to be an idol? Are you sure this is the case?"
When Lin Jianqiu began to doubt his life.
The HNT trio entered the practice room in silence.
Wang Mo smiled and said, "How is it? Did the video flop?"
Zhang Die: "So far, the number of views has reached 870,000, and there have been 7,800 comments."
Wang Chuyang and the other two were shocked.
It's only been one night, only twelve hours, or half a day, and the data from this video is almost reaching the three-day data standard proposed by Brother Han? ! !
Wang Mo: "So you look so sad, are you actually trying to show off?"
Zhang Die: “You know shit.”
Wang Chuyang took out Wang Mo's mobile phone and entered Bilibili. Without even typing in the search box, he directly browsed to the first video on the homepage, which was "My Skateboard Shoes".
Click in, it says '3411 people are watching, 4519 comments are ready to go'
Wang Chuyang clicked on the video and swiped right.
The first hot comment: "What a garbage, spiritual pollution."
This comment received 75,000 likes.
What does that mean? This video only got 14,000 likes.
Below, everyone was criticizing the song for being too irritating to the ears.
"What the hell are you singing? Can you sing it on tune?"
"This...if I'm not mistaken, at the beginning of the video, they introduced themselves as a trainee group? Are they the kind of trainees I've heard of?"
"No, this dance is poisoning me..."
Wang Chuyang exited the first hot comment and entered the second hot comment.
This hot review reads: "First time listening: What kind of song is this?! Second time: Not as good as "Baby Shark" Third time: Friction! Friction! Like the devil's steps..."
This comment received 47,000 likes and 480 internal comments.
The third hot review: "An old metal nostalgic agricultural rap band from the rural-urban area, HNT, so stupid, so bad to listen to, very confusing."
Fourth hot review:
"Cao Pi: I order you to compose a poem within seven steps!
Cao Zhi: One step... two steps... one step... two steps...
Cao Pi: Well, is it finished? !
Cao Zhi: Step by step, like claws and teeth! Like the steps of a devil! Like the steps of a devil! Like the steps of a devil! Friction, friction! On this smooth ground, friction!
Cao Zhi died (192-232)"
However, unlike the comment section, the barrage is completely the opposite.
The comments are all nice and praising.
Very different from the comments section.
It doesn't feel like the same video!
[It sounds really good! ] [This is a kind of loneliness that I can't understand even after listening to it once]
[The devil's steps, friction!] [I have listened to it more than ten times, and I feel a kind of freedom]
[Can you believe this? This video was really shot in Shanghai. ]
[Hahaha, this guy named Zhang Die dances in perfect sync with the song's rhythm! ]
[Let me put this on the spot. No one in the ghost video section can make this song more ghost-like than the original video. So cool! ]
There are more neutral comments and compliments in the barrage.
There are more neutral comments with insults.
Not to mention the video, this entire comment section seems to have some serious problem.
The Zhang Die trio without makeup also received a lot of comments. Many people said that they were too ordinary and too rural. If their hair was not shorter and not dyed, they would really be rural and non-mainstream.
But some people also say that the HNT trio is simple and sincere.
Then some people studied and found that this song seemed to be written by Han Zhou. I didn’t expect that this trio could get Han Zhou’s song.
But the New World team is controlling the comments.
They just left some comments below, saying that Han Zhou was in the same company as them and that the company paid for Han Zhou's songs for them .
"I knew that once Han Zhou made his move, it would be a carnival for both the ghost animal area and the music."
It is obvious that this video has become popular. The data for three days must have far exceeded the set data basis. Once a wave of craze is created, HNT will be a famous figure on Bilibili, and even become popular in the short video circle.
This kind of weird and animal stuff doesn’t distinguish between different sites, but it’s mostly created on Bilibili, so it will definitely spread out later.
Unlike Yinlang, which mostly relies on the quality of short video production, videos with a lot of fans are not very popular on Bilibili.
"You are going to succeed."
HNT Liu Yanzhou was speechless: "Are you sure this is a success?"
Lin Jianqiu: "So many celebrities are scolded every day, and the more they are scolded, the more popular they become. As long as there is nothing that can morally condemn you and make you quit the circle, then you are considered popular. After all, being black is also popular."
HNT Wei Chengan: "I think I understand."
"The three of us have a very poor foundation and learn slowly. It is very difficult for us to become serious stars."
"So, Han Ge's idea is to make us be laughed at by the whole network, and then increase our popularity and make money."
Zhang Die: "We have been out for so long, are you willing to just quit and go back?"
Liu Yanzhou shook his head.
Wei Chengan sighed.
Zhang Die: "Then let's do it. We'll do whatever Brother Han says."
"I've asked others, videos of this level on Bilibili don't make money in themselves, but after they become popular, many businesses will come to them."
"After the company makes a profit, the amount distributed to us is at least several hundred thousand."
"If there were two more songs like this, we would have enough to live on for a lifetime."
There is a saying on the Internet, especially on certain websites where people like to show off their academic qualifications, that rap provides technical secondary school graduates with a way to enter the entertainment industry, or to get a job.
This statement is also applicable when they evaluate the idol circle.
The existence of idols provides high school dropouts with a way to find jobs.
Although this is partly true, who in society would use academic qualifications as an excuse? Ultimately, it all comes down to who is richer and more powerful. Although it is hard to admit, this is the truth.
If there is an opportunity for a person with no foundation to choose whether to take this path, I am afraid most people would choose to do it.
Some people are born not good at studying, some people don't study seriously, and some people never thought about the importance of studying when they were young.
If these people were asked how to get rich overnight the easiest way would undoubtedly be to enter the entertainment industry.
The prerequisite is that you can withstand being scolded, stand up to gossip, and have thick skin.
Everything is relative.
If there were no such profession, these people would really have no future at all.
At least, among them, some people still have the opportunity to move up by relying on their natural talents . After all, it is also a path.
It's so difficult to work normally and then take off overnight.
This is also the reason why so many young people try hard to break into this circle even though they know that this is not an easy job and that they will be criticized.
Because, at least, on the outside, it looks glamorous and at least you can make money.
What people dislike about idols is never their crazy pursuit of money or the way they behave.
But it’s because I have no skills and no works!
Among celebrities, there are also some who just live a carefree life, make money crazily, create scandals every day, and are criticized for their behavior.
These people are essentially no different from idols.
The only thing that idol economy does is to take this part of the profit, expand the pie and concentrate it.
The most annoying thing about idols is that they have no works, but they try to hype up their rubbish works as great works, and then use their rubbish works to win awards.
Han Zhou knows that once idol culture becomes popular and the idol economy grows, all companies in the entertainment industry will enter this industry.
By then, Han Zhou will be able to suppress others by relying on the quality of his works, break out of this circle, and become the best in this circle.
That's why Han Zhou is so keen on cultivating idols.
Or they slowly release high-quality works but remain unknown, until one day they explode and are recognized by fans as a treasure star.
However, if any company tries desperately to discredit Hanzhou, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Another option is to cultivate idols. If there is a company that blackens Han Zhou’s idols, Han Zhou will cultivate another group of idols.
This model of impacting the entertainment industry is definitely wiser than the previous one.
…
In the conference room, Han Zhou handed the report up to eight o'clock in the morning to everyone.
The three new entertainment companies completed one fifth of the task in less than a day. Yesterday, "The Proud Boy" sold a total of 70,000 copies!
What made everyone present feel even more terrified was...
These 70,000 copies were purchased by 20,000 people.
Because the background data shows that for many accounts, purchases are made using the same IP address to log in to different accounts.
This group of people are really willing to spend money.
I bought a 5-dollar song from an idol I’ve only known for a day? And I spent so much money on repeated purchases?!
Han Zhou: "Idol economy is like this. You can do it easily. You don't even need good works. You can just spend 50,000 yuan to make a song and achieve 50% or even 70% of the results."
Everyone present was hesitant.
The companies present here are not companies without any foundation, but rather established companies in the entertainment industry.
The only one who was not from the entertainment industry was Li Shanghong, the second-in-command of Penguin Video, who had just arrived.
Everyone knows that if you use the same method to operate with rubbish songs, you will be criticized, which is tantamount to being shameless just to make money.
But, making money is making money, why bother with face?
However, if you can make money while maintaining your reputation, or even make more while maintaining your reputation, why not do it?
From the very beginning, Han Zhou injected genes that did not originally belong to this market into the idol market of this world.
That is the quality of the work.
There is a world of difference between a song made with two million yuan and a song made with fifty thousand yuan.
However, Han Zhou can write songs himself, and without the huge cost of purchasing songs, New World can achieve the same quality with only 600,000 yuan that other companies can only achieve with 2 million yuan.
In this regard, Han Zhou has two options.
Other companies don't pursue quality, but Hanzhou is not afraid.
While other companies pursue quality, Hanzhou can even make a little more money.
Fighting each other? Not happening. The idol economy is expanding like crazy now. There is no competition . We need to get a big piece of the old entertainment industry pie first, and then we can compete with each other.
Han Zhou also took out the short video data of "My Skateboard Shoes".
"Ah?" Li Shanghong was very surprised after reading the data: "This data... is less than one day?"
Han Zhou nodded: "The user scale of Bilibili is not large at present, but it is not small either. It is larger than the paid websites."
“The reason why we look at the data of “My Skateboard Shoes” for three days instead of one week is because three days is enough time for “My Skateboard Shoes” to smash the entire Bilibili plate.”
"Before I did this, I had accumulated a lot of experience. I know the results of both operations. To be honest, these two experiments, on the one hand, helped the Lai Geng team to officially stand out in the small circle, and on the other hand, they were done for everyone to see. How do the data look like?"
"I don't need to tell you how much profit these things represent, do I?"
“And that’s just the small part.”
Han Zhou tapped the table: "Peripherals, variety show production, commercial performances, idol variety show pay."
"Also, according to the current idol market, we will only give 10% of all profits to idols."
"It only takes one second-rate idol to make twice as much money as eight years of running a second-tier star!"
“Even more than that.”
"After all, not many young people would be crazy about an old man in his thirties whose works are mediocre, but young people are definitely willing to spend money on a handsome man between eighteen and twenty-five years old."
Mailang's vice president: "Is it necessary to look at the data for the next few days? In my opinion, we have succeeded."
The director of the artist department of Universal China looked at Han Zhou and said, "Mr. Han, I'm afraid this is just a small part of the initial stage of your idol operation plan."
"Since we are all tied to a chariot, can we tell everything now?"
Han Zhou nodded: "I have the same plan."
"For this operation, I hope you guys will stay here and watch the entire seven-day cycle of the newcomer introduction plan."
"Then you can choose the best talent under your own banner and quickly do the same thing."
“I hope that by the time the summer shows come around, we’ll have enough people in-house to allocate all the spots in the group.”
Han Zhou said very seriously: "I really hope you can take this matter seriously."
"Because my show focuses on youth and authenticity."
"In the future, when others follow my example, I will not hesitate to expose their fraudulent activities to the news."
"I will use this method to continuously attack my competitors for any shady dealings. Therefore, there will be no shady dealings in my show. Even if Wang Chuyang and his team don't become the center, or even get eliminated, I won't hesitate."
Mailang's vice president pondered carefully: "I have a question. If we focus on quality when cultivating idols, we can indeed suppress our competitors. However, our competitors are much larger than us. They are enough to ruin the environment and reputation of the entire market."
“How can we maintain our own image?”
This is too easy to do.
For example, words like "little fresh meat" and "little wolfdog".
It only takes one word to label a group of people and then kill them all.
All your efforts will become in vain.
Han Zhou smiled: "This is a matter for the next stage. I will naturally find a way to deal with it when the time comes."
When Han Zhou said this, everyone else knew that Han Zhou had a way that he was unwilling to say, rather than thinking of a solution when the time comes.
