Chapter 506 Opening up New Markets
Newcomer actress Lillian stood in the office anxious, pacing back and forth like an actress with exaggerated acting skills in a bad movie, wishing she could have the word "anxiety" etched on her face.
"What to do, what to do? People are coming, coming."
"1.97 million, 1.97 million. If I fail in my performance, Principal Peggy won't kill me, right?"
Principal Peggy in front of the mirror:...
Is she that scary?
Does she look like a principal who would murder her right-hand subordinate for a mere 1.97 million?
At most, Lillian’s salary will be deducted for 10 years.
"Hasn't Sister Lilian been performing in Xuecun for more than half a year? Why does she look so nervous?" Wang Erya, a new member of the audience, was very puzzled.
"Lillian, stupid!" Lili in Wang Erya's arms took the opportunity to pull her away.
Jiang Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because...the other party gave me too much."
Jiang Qi just brought himself into it and felt that if the unlucky actor standing in the school director's office was him, he would probably be nervous too.
However, Jiang Qi will most likely not be nervous because of the 1.97 million, he will only be nervous because he is about to appear in Ms. Xu’s vlog.
Although Ms. Xu had been out of business for more than a year, two passers-by called her two names that did not belong to her at all. But Jiang Qi, as a party A who specializes in hot search and purchase marketing, has some understanding of what contemporary netizens like.
Netizens will definitely like the content that Ms. Xu just captured in her vlog.
I'm not sure whether Ms. Xu can become popular with Jiang Qi with this vlog, but a hot search is definitely a sure thing.
Brokerage companies are willing to spend 1.97 million to go through the back door, and they certainly don't mind spending an extra 2 million to buy a hot search.
I hope Ms. Xu can become famous with today's vlog. Jiang Qi just checked her agency online. There are quite a lot of has-been artists, and it is simply a shelter for has-been artists.
As long as Ms. Xu can become popular with her vlog, not to mention a second collaboration, three or four collaborations are also possible!
Just when Jiang Qi was complaining in his heart, Ms. Xu's group of four people had already arrived at the door of the school director's office.
The three passers-by were all very nervous, but Ms. Xu looked calm.
The cameraman is still the eldest brother. The eldest brother is holding a mobile phone in his hand and his voice is trembling with nervousness: "Sister Xu, you look so calm! Aren't you nervous? My teeth are chattering with nervousness. It was me the last time I was so nervous. When my wife gives birth to a baby.”
Ms. Xu:…
Brother, please stop talking. This vlog of mine is going to be trending. I'm afraid that if I say too much, the editor will cut it out, and I won't be able to finish kneeling on the washboard when I get home.
"I was born with facial paralysis." Ms. Xu said expressionlessly, completely showing off her face.
Not only was her face paralyzed, she was heartbroken.
The heart is as gray as death.
Why are the tourists in this amusement park so strange? They are familiar with each other and enthusiastic. They really pick up the topic, are really helpful when there is a lot of work, and really join in the fun.
In fact, Ms. Xu herself didn't even notice that her behavior was quite strange today.
Since she passed away, Ms. Xu's temper has become very irritable. Because I can't show my violent side in front of the camera, I have to suppress my anger from time to time, and I will become very bitter and mean behind the camera.
If in normal times, three passers-by mistakenly identified her as two other female celebrities who had nothing to do with her, and kept chatting with her, Ms. Xu would have been furious.
But today, she felt that her emotions were very stable.
Just... unexpectedly good mood.
I even found the long-lost happiness of being a passerby.
Despite what most celebrities say, they don't want to be too much in the spotlight, don't want to be recognized by others as soon as they go out, and don't have a private life of their own. When they really have no way to be recognized, that's when they truly collapse.
Just look at Ms. Xu and you will know that after she became famous, people said she looked like a celebrity, but that celebrity was not her.
Ms. Xu politely raised her hand and knocked on the door three times.
no respond.
The mop girl was still holding on to the mop she had snatched, and asked nervously: "Sister Xu, was the knock on the door so quiet that Principal Lillian didn't hear it?"
Ms. Xu could only knock on the door three times.
Now there was a reaction inside. Lillian, who had tidied up her appearance, opened the door with a smile on her head and bright red hair, and said enthusiastically: "Are you...are you here to hand over the explosion fragments?"
Lilian looked at the four people outside the door in confusion, wondering why it was different from what she had promised. During the meeting yesterday, she didn't say that Ms. Xu had brought the team.
Lilian glanced at her elder brother who was holding a mobile phone in confusion.
Also bring a cameraman.
Didn’t you agree to vlog? Is bringing a cameraman a little too fake and deliberate?
Sure enough, she didn't understand the world of celebrities.
"The four of you discovered it together?"
Ms. Xu nodded without taking off her gloves. She opened the plastic bag and took out the red explosive fragments: "Yes, the four of us found it when we were cleaning together."
Ms. Xu felt that this moment was probably her most selfless moment since her debut.
1.97 million krypton gold project, share it if you want to share it.
Oh, she is such a beautiful person.
Lilian scratched her head in annoyance, and her originally smooth red hair was suddenly messed up. She turned sideways and motioned for everyone to come in first: "Your explosion fragments are not intertwined, but I didn't expect that four people would find one explosion fragment at the same time."
"The four of you started my hidden plot at the same time. Theoretically, I should give each of you four a special gift. But I haven't prepared so many gifts here. Wait a minute, I'll call Pei and ask him. Principal Ji.”
Then Lillian took out her cell phone and started making a call.
Four people:......
Principal Peggy:…
The eldest brother dedicatedly pointed his cell phone camera at Lillian to record this moment.
While Lilian was on the phone, the four of them began to curiously look at the school director's room, which had never appeared in the guide.
Even Ms. Xu came in for the first time.
According to Lilian's request, the school director's office is the first office on the right after entering the castle gate. On the only way from the gate to the auditorium, every visiting student will see this school director's office.
Of course, in terms of decoration and area, the school director's office is far inferior to the principal's office.
Principal Peggy's current principal's office is the original principal's office. The items in it originally belonged to Principal Peggy, and the style is also the style she likes. Even the exaggerated round table was chosen by Principal Peggy herself.
The school director's office is just an ordinary teacher's office, an ordinary one. The original owner of this office loved raising all kinds of small animals, so the office has a lot of toys for furry animals such as lions, tigers, and black bears, as well as some animal supplies.
There is even a display case in the office that contains a variety of animal eggs that have long since failed to hatch.
None of the four of them were particularly brave and dared to rummage through the boxes in front of Lilian. The way of exploration was mainly by eyes, and they would never dare to reach out to rummage.
After scanning the entire office with his eyes, the broom boy exclaimed: "It turns out that Principal Lillian likes to keep pets. Are the ones in that cabinet some animal toys?"
Ms. Xu also keeps pets. She has three cats and five dogs at home, and she thinks she knows a lot about pet products.
Ms. Xu shook her head: "It's probably not a pet toy, just a collection of models."
"How can a pet toy be so big? Even a giant Alaskan can't use such a big toy. Tigers and lions are about the same."
The eldest brother laughed loudly: "Sister Xu, you are so funny. How can anyone keep those things as pets? It is illegal."
In less than two minutes, Lillian's call was over. Lillian, whose acting skills were not good enough, improved significantly under the guidance of Principal Peggy. When she faced the camera again, her expression became much more natural.
"The principal said that although there are more visiting students who triggered the task at the same time this time, the prizes must be treated equally and everyone should receive them."
"Okay!" The mop lady cheered.
"Congratulations to the four of you, each of you received an exploration gift package!" Lilian took out a large bag from behind her desk, "Also known as the Magician's Gift Package."
"This big gift package contains a complete set of textbooks for various courses at the Incredible Magic Academy, including a wand, a staff, a magic book, a brick, and a basic crystal ball."
"I have only prepared two copies of this gift package here. There are still two copies left and you need to stay with me for a while. Assistant Professor Wang will deliver them later."
"I know there are a lot of things. You can leave the gift bag here for storage first. Just remember to pick it up when you leave school."
"Also." Lilian took out an oversized form from the drawer, "If you can, you can sign this as a souvenir."
Lilian gave the four people a signed form indicating the completion of the hidden plot, which will be posted in the auditorium for public display. It is regarded as a medal for the successful person.
The signature must be signed, and the four of them signed their names with a stroke of their pen.
The mop girl looked at Ms. Xu's name and was a little surprised: "Hey, sister Xu, you have the same name as a female star!"
"No wonder you are so good-looking. Are all people with this name good-looking?"
Ms. Xu:…
asphyxia.
You even recognize my name, but you still can't recognize me?
Ms. Xu cried in her heart.
I just took advantage of my time to do a little plastic surgery, fine-tuning my nose and chin, and doing a radio facelift. Is the difference that big?
Ms. Xu asked with tears in her eyes: "Who is more beautiful, me or that celebrity?"
"You look good!" The mop lady said without any hesitation.
Ms. Xu: ().
Because Ms. Xu earned 1.97 million yuan, Jiang Qi has been paying close attention to Ms. Xu’s Weibo in the next few days.
It’s no secret that Lilian’s hidden plot was opened by four lucky players. The super long hidden plot has been opened. This hidden plot will bring an epic update to the Incredible Magic Academy. This kind of blockbuster news aroused heated discussions on various relevant forums on the day it was launched. There were tens of thousands of comments under Wang Xinghua's post in Xiao○shu, all discussing this matter.
The topic on Weibo is not small either. Many netizens who have grabbed tickets to the Incredible Academy of Magic like to show off their tickets under the lottery post on the amusement park's official Weibo.
Over time, it became a discussion forum for the Mysterious Magic Academy. You can tell which topics are the most popular by looking at the highly praised comments. When European emperors discover something new and good, when posting on Moments, Weibo, or a short book, they will not forget to post one more in the comment area of that Weibo post.
It can be said that the comment area of the official blog and the comment area of Wang Xinghua's super long guide are the social forums of the Incredible Magic Academy.
Naturally, the four-person group's signatures were photographed and posted by netizens, and Ms. Xu's name was inevitably brought up for discussion.
But no one thought about Ms. Xu. After all, Ms. Xu had been out of fashion for a while, and the days when she could be trending on Weibo if she posted anything were long gone. Her previous Weibo post hinting that she had won the ticket was not seen by many people at all. Except for her few fans, few people combined the name with Ms. Xu herself. Everyone was making fun of the European Emperor and the celebrity with the same name. .
If there are fans of Ms. Xu who really speculate that this European Emperor is Ms. Xu herself, they will be pulled out and ridiculed by netizens.
Jiang Qi originally thought that Ms. Xu would immediately post on Weibo to admit that Ou Huang was him, but in the end Ms. Xu did nothing and was silent.
What’s even more outrageous is that this matter is being discussed more and more online.
As three other lucky passers-by posted about their gift packages, the boring discussion thread about whether the fourth person had the same name or was the real Ms. Xu became more and more popular. Bored netizens dug up Ms. Xu’s previous Weibo posts and speculated that the lucky European emperor might actually be Ms. Xu herself.
This boring topic is even forwarded by marketing accounts.
All of the above made Jiang Qi suspect that Ms. Xu's agency had spent money.
But...what's the point of spending money on something like this?
You should just publish the vlog and then spend money on marketing!
Is it really because the brokerage company is too rich and has nowhere to spend the money? This can explain why this agency has signed so many outdated artists.
While Jiang Qi was puzzled, the vlog was finally posted.
Get angry as soon as you send it out.
The kind that is extremely hot.
It was so popular that when Jiang Qi was eating in the staff cafeteria, he could see Liu Lan laughing wildly while watching Ms. Xu's vlog, and then pulling Qin Can to watch it again, and the two of them laughed together like idiots.
Ms. Xu’s vlog can be summed up in one sentence:
The broken travel routine of a has-been female star.
The photographer brother made his C-level debut in Ms. Xu’s vlog.
Facts have proved that the eldest brother was somewhat bragging when he boasted about himself, especially when he said that he takes photos and videos of his wife and daughter when they go out to play.
Absolutely impossible.
The eldest brother had several shots that made Ms. Xu who was 1.7 meters tall look like 1.5 meters tall.
360 degrees are all blind spots.
This made Ms. Xu’s makeup look even worse.
After separating from the group of four, Ms. Xu persisted in chatting with several other passers-by and asked them if they thought she looked like a female celebrity.
Everyone said they looked alike because Ms. Xu was beautiful.
As for who she specifically looks like... there are many who she looks like, but there is no Ms. Xu herself.
Maybe it was there, but it was cut because it didn't have the effect of the show.
Regarding the fact that Ms. Xu is not like herself, some enthusiastic netizens actually helped Ms. Xu cut a comparison video.
The makeup she wore in the Magic Academy that day really didn't look like her, so no wonder the passersby.
All in all, Ms. Xu’s vlog is out of the spotlight.
I got out of the circle in the form of sand sculpture videos.
Ms. Xu also really became famous.
The outdated female celebrities become famous because they look like most of the entertainment industry, but they just don’t look like themselves.
As for the popular, European, and down-to-earth route that the agency originally set for Ms. Xu...
Forget it, it’s not important.
Xiaohong relies on support, and Dahong relies on fate. Ms. Xu has no destiny to follow these routes.
.
"Second order! 900,000! No need to operate behind the scenes! Wow, our second cooperation came too quickly. Ms. Xu's agency is really wealthy. It deserves that the outdated artist under him has become famous!"
Jiang Qi looked at the new cooperation invitation sent by the brokerage company and praised his boss's magnanimity from the bottom of his heart.
Today, a mere 900,000 yuan cooperation order is indeed not a big deal for Jiang Qi.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the business of the amusement park is booming. Every day is worth hundreds or tens of millions, and 900,000 is nothing.
But I can't stand it. This 900,000 yuan is a business without capital.
Not only is it cost-effective, but it can also help with publicity.
After Ms. Xu became famous, the popularity of the Incredible Magic Academy also increased to the next level. Ms. Xu has many new fans who want to come to the Magic Academy to get the same card as their idol. Now it is even more difficult to get tickets for the school. The difficulty of getting tickets every day is no less difficult than getting tickets for celebrity concerts.
If the amusement park hadn't deliberately cracked down on scalpers, it would have been harder for ordinary people to grab tickets.
"The other party has a very good attitude and has a very strong intention to cooperate. However, there may be more people coming this time, which will take up part of the ticket quota. But there are also advantages. We do not need special treatment. You can come however you want, as long as Lillian Just a little trouble." Principal Peggy was also very happy with such a big order from the sky.
"What do you mean there are more people?"
"Didn't Ms. Xu become famous through vlogging? She seems to have recently accepted a new popular variety show and an urban light comedy. His agency feels that although there is a conflict in the route, he will cooperate with our amusement park There is no problem with this matter, and the general direction is right.”
"This cooperation should be a trial. Ms. Xu will bring a professional photography team and two colleagues who are also outdated to shoot a video to show their faces."
"The specific content needs to be discussed in detail, but we will definitely not let the other party affect the normal operation of the school."
"If I'm not wrong, Ms. Xu's agency may want to cooperate with our amusement park for a long time and try other projects, such as Snow Village, Taiping Town, and Art Museum."
"We should test the waters this time and see if our amusement park is compatible only with Ms. Xu, or with other artists in their company, and whether we can get a few more."
Principal Peggy's use of the word "fishing" is very expressive.
Jiang Qi held his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "I heard that people in the entertainment industry are more feudal and superstitious, and they especially like to ask fortune tellers from masters."
"Why don't we recommend Assistant Wang to give their boss a fortune and see if they can get a long-term cooperation and sign a contract worth 10 million a year, which can be regarded as adding a stable income-generating project to our amusement park."
"The most important thing is to open up the market. We have connections in the entertainment industry."
Principal Peggy:…
Principal Peggy began to think seriously.
“Is Assistant Professor Wang’s deception okay?”
"I think it's okay. Assistant Coach Wang has been timid in the past two years. If he was brave, he would have entered it long ago with his level!"
