Chapter 203: A "Divine Special"

It's approaching noon.

Yang Xiao found a restaurant outside the school and arranged a meal for everyone.

At the same time, Luo Yao and Tan Yue, as alumni of the same school, were introduced to each other by Yang Xiao.

"Hello, my name is Luo Yao, are you 'Xiao Yue'? You are even more beautiful in person than in the documentary."

"Thank you, you are beautiful too."

In comparison, Tan Yue was a little reserved, but she still felt Luo Yao's kind compliment, and the two women quickly became familiar with each other.

Luo Yao majored in history, while Tan Yue majored in economics.

After some communication between the two girls, they found that their dormitory buildings were actually next to each other, the former was in Building 6 and the latter was in Building 7. They added each other's contact information.

During the time in Wancheng, Tan Yue, Yang Xiao and the other two spent a lot of time together and became more talkative.

Seeing Luo Yao standing calmly with Yang Xiao at this time, he naturally guessed the relationship between them.

I just don't know why, but I feel an inexplicable strange emotion in my heart.

Tan Yue looked at Yang Xiao and said, "Yang Xiao, I still want to thank you for your help during the holiday."

Her brother Tan Bin also echoed, "Brother Xiao, you are so awesome. Later, Brother Yu and my sister went to buy some more goods, using the big speaker of the 'Jiangnan Leather Factory' that you recorded, and their business was booming."

"I should thank you. The documentary has attracted more attention from netizens because of your appearance."

After learning about Yang Xiao's influence on the Internet, Tan Yue felt that the documentary's popularity had nothing to do with her.

Because in her opinion, with such vigorous promotion, such beautiful songs, and the participation of celebrities, it is inevitable that it will become popular.

Even the 5000 yuan "remuneration" I received felt unworthy.

After all, as far as she knew, it seemed that only she and Luo Fuxing were paid.

The other "Shamatte members" who appeared on the screen just had a few midnight snacks and booked a few tickets to the roller skating rink.

However, now that everyone is familiar with each other, she has also learned to joke:

"If I had known you were so famous on the Internet, I should have asked for more money for your appearances."

"Next time there's a chance, the pay will definitely be more than this."

Yang Xiao knew she was joking.

In fact, "Xiao Yue" has become very popular since the documentary was broadcast.

It has attracted a lot of attention from people in society.

Even some artist media companies that saw business opportunities contacted Yang Xiao, wanting to obtain Tan Yue's contact information for a fee.

They wanted to package her and hype her up to make money, and some of them had ulterior motives.

Yang Xiao also told her that this was an opportunity to make money and gave her the choice.

Fortunately, Tan Yue kept her original intention and never thought about it in this regard.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable. Some of her classmates from her hometown went online during the holidays and recognized her in the documentary. They called to verify the information, causing a small sensation.

Some ignorant classmates leaked her information online, which led to some speculators finding Tan Yue.

However, they were still rejected by Tan Yue one by one.

Finally, she was so annoyed that she changed her cell phone number.

Zhou Hongyu seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, Luo Yao, weren't you more famous than Tan Yue?"

"That's nothing. Compared to 'Xiao Yue', I'm far behind. No one recognizes me now."

Luo Yao waved her hand, then glanced at Yang Xiao, "Besides, the protagonist that time was the person next to me."

"Oh?"

Seeing that Tan Yue was interested, Zhou Hongyu immediately explained with a smile and told her about Yang Xiao’s previous account being exposed.

"At that time, Yang Xiao neither denied nor admitted it, and netizens did not take it seriously. On the contrary, half of Luo Yao's face was photographed in the photo that broke the news, and many netizens called her a 'stunning beauty with a side profile.'"

After hearing these interesting stories behind the scenes, Tan Yue realized that Yang Xiao and Luo Yao were classmates.

At this time, Luo Yao said with a somewhat embarrassed look:

"Zhou Hongyu, don't mention this anymore. 'The profile killer' or something like that, if you tell others about it, they'll make people laugh to death."

"What's the big deal? If I had known earlier, you should have come to Wancheng with us. Then we could have Yang Xiao film you in it, and the documentary would have been more popular!"

Zhou Hongyu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Alas, I just don't know if anyone will be able to recognize me and Yuanbao after we go to school."

Li Yuanbao smiled and nodded: "I just don't know if college students play the Shamatte and Spirited Youth style, otherwise the two of us are considered high-ranking figures in the family."

Zhou Hongyu said: "Brother Xiao, why did you insist on wearing a mask? Isn't it good for us to become famous together?"

“Do I still need to be famous?”

Yang Xiao smiled and was too lazy to say anything more.

Being exposed online is not a good thing.

Only Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao can still be complacent now.

He could only be thankful that his decision to wear a mask was the right one.

If this kind of dark history is dug up by netizens in the future, won’t people be laughed to death?

After dinner, Zhou Hongyu prepared to accompany Tan Yue to apply for a student loan.

Ever since Tan Yue received Yang Xiao's 5000 yuan salary, she never thought of spending Tan Bin's several thousand yuan of "hard-earned money".

Although tuition fees are waived now, there is still no money for living expenses.

She even wanted to do odd jobs in her spare time and send money back to her grandparents in her hometown to improve their lives.

Everyone said goodbye at this time.

Tan Bin and Tan Yue came here early this morning. They didn't have a place to stay yet, so Li Yuanbao took them to the house rented by Yang Xiao to stay for two days.

Then, Yang Xiao and Luo Yao took her to the downstairs of her Aunt Chen's house.

In order to avoid meeting her future mother-in-law, Yang Xiao decided not to go up with her.

He knew that after he showed up, Liu Xiaolan would probably have to explain some things to Luo Yao, which would be somewhat inconvenient for him.

The next day, Luo Yao and her classmates would start military training, and after dinner, Liu Xiaolan would send her back to school.

The military training lasted for a total of 7 days, and then it was Yang Xiao's turn to start the school year at Shenzhen University, so the two of them had no chance to meet for the time being.

After sending Luo Yao off, Yang Xiao had nothing else to do, so he took a taxi to Shenzhen South Science and Technology Building.

He first went to hang out with Huang Zhengfei's team.

I was concerned about the progress of the "Kuaiya" project.

Yang Xiao was very pleased to see that the folding beds purchased with the help of the administrative department of Shiguang Culture Media had arrived.

The shower room is also nearing completion.

Yang Xiao gave some casual encouragement, which made the technical staff feel under great pressure.

after that.

Yang Xiao came to the Time Culture Media Company next door.

The office of Deputy General Manager Zhang Yue.

Since the short video department was split and merged into Wanhe Tianyi in Yanjing, Shiguan Culture Media now only has a music department.

Zhang Yue reported the recent situation: "Boss, there are too many companies trying to poach our artists recently, and the prices are getting higher and higher."

"Oh? Who are they looking to recruit? How much are they offering?"

"Benxi, Wang Sulong and Xu Liang, these three offered the highest bids. A company offered 50 million for Benxi's contract transfer fee, and the other two offered no less than 30 million."

"Let them all go away." Although the price was not low, Yang Xiao had no intention of selling it at all.

The artists that I have worked so hard to cultivate are not intended to be a one-time deal!
Yang Xiao has always paid attention to the IP development of artists.

For example, Benxi, Xu Liang and Wang Sulong have countless fans from primary and secondary schools.

Once the stationery manufacturers, clothing brands, endorsed products, etc. are utilized well, the profit will be more than tens of millions!
Today, Shiguang Culture Media Company has also established a public relations department.

Write soft articles and manage fan culture for Yang Xiao’s artists.

Of course, because of their fan base, it is limited to these three "non-mainstream" top artists.

Others do not have this treatment for the time being.

Yang Xiao pondered and murmured, "So many colleagues in the industry are eyeing us and want to take advantage of us. It seems that our Shiguang Culture Media is still too low-key."

Low-key?
Not low-key, right?
Zhang Yue muttered to himself.

In her eyes, although their Shi Guang Culture Media is not the leader in the industry, it is also a well-known company in the industry, right?
Now that he has three hotshots, Benxi, Wang Sulong and Xu Liang, who dares to underestimate them?
The songs that have topped the charts on major music platforms in the past few months have all featured artists under their company.

I won’t talk about Benxi and the other three, as they have fixed positions on the list.

With the documentary released by Yang Xiao not long ago.

After the song "People Without Ideals Don't Feel Sad" became a hit, niche bands like the New Pants Band also attracted the attention of netizens.

"Youth" is still being broadcast on major TV stations.

Including those folk singers, don’t they occasionally release a few songs that make it to the charts?
Their company is not very famous, but it is also quite famous.

How can Yang Xiao be said to be low-key?
Zhang Yue really didn't understand.

In fact, in Yang Xiao's eyes, he thinks being low-key is understandable.

Although Benxi and the other three are currently the most money-making, their status is actually not that high.

The reputation in the outside world is both good and bad, and it is often criticized.

After all, she is an internet singer, so she can only endure the slanderous remarks that are not worthy of public display.

As a result, in the eyes of some members of the public and established media companies, Shiguang Culture Media Company is not considered to be very powerful at all.

Because there is not even an artist who can open a solo concert.

This is indeed their weakness.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said:

"Now everyone is saying that the Chinese music scene is dead. I think we need to focus on promoting an artist to save the Chinese music scene and give it some strength."

"Boss, who are you pushing?"

"Let's recommend Lin Wantong. There is no suitable candidate at the moment. Make her the current queen of the Chinese pop music scene."

"it is good."

Zhang Yue nodded, not at all surprised by the result.

Benxi is too young, and Wang Sulong and Xu Liang’s singing skills are not that good, so they are really not suitable.

If we talk about the most suitable candidate, it would really be Lin Wantong.

With her excellent singing and songwriting abilities, coupled with the popularity brought by the song "Boy", she is now known as the little queen.

Yang Xiao made this decision because of this consideration.

"I will prepare a few songs for her later. Please inform her so that she can be mentally prepared. Also, arrange a professional management team for her immediately, and the public relations department can also start working."

"Okay, boss."

Zhang Yue was already familiar with these processes, and the so-called public relations department's work was also very simple.

Just write various soft articles.

For example, write some interesting stories about Lin Wantong's creation.

It indirectly expresses her dedication to music, her kindness and generosity, her respect and tolerance for industry seniors and juniors, and so on.

Anyway, it’s just about creating a persona for the artist and then promoting it vigorously on various platforms.

It is convenient for creating momentum and subsequently attracting fans.

They were so familiar with this set of tricks under Yang Xiao's instruction.

"In addition, I will update my emotional stories on Weibo again in the near future and strive to publish another book in three months."

"Boss, you don't know that you haven't updated for too long recently. All the private messages on Weibo are urging you to update. You've also sent a lot of soft ads. Some fans are clamoring to stop being your fans."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue complained bitterly.

Because Yang Xiao’s recent Weibo account has been handed over to her for operation.

Although he said he would stop being a fan, his fan base continued to grow thanks to the popularity of the previous documentary. Zhang Yue was really shocked by Yang Xiao's influence.

After listening to this, Yang Xiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have other plans for the future. We at Shi Guang Culture Media can no longer keep a low profile. It's time to speed up."

After finishing his instructions, Yang Xiao returned to his own office.

Turning on the computer, Yang Xiao retrieved the song information from the hard drive for which the copyright had been registered in advance, and sent it to Zhang Yue, asking her to contact Lin Wantong to record the new song as soon as possible.

"Alas, the only area where there is still a chance is music copyright."

This "Queen Creation Plan" was not Yang Xiao's sudden idea, but just the first step for his Time Culture Media Company to expand forward.

After the split of the video department, Wanhe Tianyi was established.

This incident made Yang Xiao deeply aware that the price war for video copyrights had already been in full swing.

The money burned is easily billions!
Yang Xiao didn't even have the chance to intervene and could only watch.

Fortunately, music copyright has not been taken seriously yet.

He still has a chance to join the game!
It's not too late!
We can't waste any more time!
A group of folk singers such as Zhao Lei, Brother B, and Madi were signed before. Even if the copyrights of these singers' works are in hand in the future, it is far from enough.

His goal is to hoard singers’ copyrights, which will all be money in the future!
Similarly, copyright is the only weapon to integrate the music market!
Create a diva?
It's just a small step, and there will be more combination punches to follow.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Zhang Yue pushed the door open and walked in. She had a few manuscripts in her hands and looked a little strange:
"Boss, these are the works you sent to me, prepared for Lin Wantong?"

"Well, didn't I make it clear? Together with the few singles she released before, will they be integrated into an album?"

"But. Well, it's okay."

Zhang Yue was stunned, then felt that it was a bit redundant and returned to his office in dejection.

She stared blankly at the manuscript on the table.

"Bubble", "In My Singing Voice", "Walking in the Rain", "Walking in the Cold Wind", "The Thief of Time".
She had received the document from Yang Xiao earlier and read it word by word.

These lyrics are of high quality, obviously.

But, boss, you just said to send the work to me later.

When you say "after", shouldn't it be after a while, at least ten days?
It was only more than ten minutes?

So you went back to your office, turned on your computer and sent an email?

These songs should have been prepared a long time ago, right?

Well, I shouldn't question the boss's creative ability.

More productive than the sows at my grandma’s house!
