Chapter 697
Seeing Jin Li didn't pay attention to the fact that Tianding Entertainment temporarily stopped their announcement activities because of June Summer's black materials to avoid the limelight.
But she knew that with the explosion of "Let's Farm, Teenagers!", those trainees who once had uncertain futures also became popular with the variety show.
Recently, when Sister Fang picked her up to participate in event announcements, the words "Farming Boy Band" frequently appeared in her mouth.
Sui Lingfang: "Originally, the company thought of a team name for them. On the day "Let's Farm" went online, this team name was also made public."
She shrugged and said helplessly: "But I don't know why, netizens prefer to call them Farming Boy Band, and the spread of this name is further, and it is easier for people to accept."
"So just after two days, not even three days, the company quickly deleted the blog post that made their team name public, and re-edited one and posted it."
Those trainees officially debuted as the Farming Boy Band.
Netizens discovered this operation and even mocked us in turn, saying that we knelt down really fast, and also said that the team name "Farming Boy Band" is the general trend, telling us not to go against the will of heaven."
Seeing Jin Li chuckled and said happily: "Actually, this is a good phenomenon. Netizens are willing to joke with you, which means that the company's impression in the minds of netizens is not bad."
Sui Lingfang couldn't help but nod, "That's true."
Now there are many companies that make idols popular. Although they made money, their reputation in the hearts of netizens is not very good.
Especially in the hearts of fans, the reputation is even worse.
In the eyes of fans, the announcements of their own brothers/sisters are getting worse and worse, or not good enough, clearly they could be better, etc., all because of the company's inaction.
In the hearts of some fans, their idols are in a state of being oppressed in the company.
Even if the idol has clarified many times for this, it is still useless.
Fans: Don't let you think, I want me to think.
Fans only believe what they think in their hearts, not the clarifications of idols and companies.
Once clarified, that means the idol is forced!
There seems to be a natural contradiction between fans and companies, and there are few relationships that are good.
Of course, some companies can attract a wave of fans because their performance ability is very strong.
Whenever they think their idol has been wronged in the original company, they will recommend their idol under the official blog of those powerful entertainment companies.
In the past, this grand occasion only appeared in large, top-tier entertainment companies in the industry.
But in recent years, there have been many messages from netizens asking for jobs for their idols under Chenxi Entertainment's official blog.
Originally, fans only asked for jobs for stars like actors and singers, letting Chenxi Entertainment contact them if they felt they were not bad.
Now that the "Farming Boy Band" has exploded, fans seem to have discovered a new continent, feeling that Chenxi Entertainment also has the strength to create idol teams.
So they went to the official blog one after another to introduce the boy bands or girl bands they were fans of.
The most outrageous thing is that in the past, Tianding Entertainment was also one of the members recommended by fans for their own masters, but because Tianding threw all resources on June Summer, it caused dissatisfaction among many fans.
The reduction of announcements for their own idol teams is the best evidence.
The fans of those idol boy bands actually ran to Chenxi Entertainment, hoping they could poach Tianding Entertainment's idol teams!
【With your management, the team I'm a fan of will definitely be able to become popular again. They are very strong!】
【Chenxi Entertainment, go! Break the roots of Tianding Entertainment for me!】
【The old emperor is dead, the new emperor should be established. It's time for Chenxi Entertainment to receive Tianding Entertainment's legacy. Hurry up and use commercial means to collapse Tianding Entertainment. I don't believe that such a large company as Tianding doesn't evade taxes (dog head)】
Because of the explosion of the Farming Boy Band, plus many netizens came to leave messages one after another, hoping that Chenxi could take in the idol groups they were fans of.
Those few days made Chenxi Entertainment so inflated that they thought they were some first-tier entertainment agency.
But they are just a small second-tier one!
Although the president of Chenxi Entertainment is indeed inflated.
After all, the idol teams recommended by netizens are relatively mature, and the other one has a fan base.
Furthermore, these boy bands were trained by Tianding Entertainment, and their basic business ability is completely up to standard.
If they could really be poached, then that would be...
The president's dream had just risen, and it was immediately extinguished by other executives.
"President, this month's employee salary has not been paid yet."
The president looked down and couldn't help but stare, just the salary has to be paid tens of millions?!
Have they recruited so many people at Chenxi Entertainment?
The finance department replied calmly: "Yes, you previously absorbed many trainees and new actors, and they all need to undergo preliminary training."
"Because it is too expensive to invite outside teachers to come over to teach, we recruited them and hired teachers to serve in long-term positions."
"The company's employee salary payment this month has increased significantly, and part of it is the salary of these teachers included in it. Previously, this part was included in another section."
"Besides that, every trainee and new actor has signed a contract with us for three to five years, so they are also considered company employees."
"But they don't have a non-responsible base salary, but the monthly clothing fee is also quite a lot, plus the media interviews we specially spent money on, and some miscellaneous exposure... these have all been included in my employee salary expenditure."
The president heard this and reluctantly accepted this expenditure.
If it weren't for the several advertising fees from "Let's Farm, Teenagers!" this month, he would have doubted whether he could come up with this money.
Thinking of these large expenditures one by one, the president of Chenxi Entertainment had a headache.
The company is developing well, but the faster it develops, the greater the investment.
Now it's in the burning money stage, being able to return blood instead of being crushed by debt is already very good.
Many companies with good prospects carry huge debts behind them.
This is what the saying goes: the more you earn, the more loans you have.
However, these companies are all high-quality assets. If the presidents of these companies go to the bank, bank managers are eager to lend to them, fearing they won't borrow.
The company is running well and developing at a high speed every year, so it will definitely not be unable to pay back.
One can win over a big client, and two can solve the bank's annual lending indicators. Why not do it?
Although the president of Chenxi Entertainment has never been to a bank, many bank managers have already asked him through various channels whether he needs a loan.
If the company wants to expand its scale, financing is not impossible.
However, the president didn't take these to heart.
50% of Chenxi Entertainment's shares are held by President Xiao. This company is actually a company solely invested in by President Xiao.
As long as President Xiao has no listing plan, Chenxi Entertainment has no listing plan.
In addition, Chenxi Entertainment is operating well and has three big stars pressing the line, so it is not afraid that subsequent resources will not keep up.
Without financing, but able to do better than other entertainment companies with financing, the president can proudly say:
Who else but me!
However, just as he had just recovered his mood and was preparing to regroup, the finance department said another sentence lightly.
"President, this month's salary expenditure is already small. According to my statistics, next month's salary expenditure will be twice this month's."
The president almost thought he heard it wrong, twice... twice?
He was shocked and said: "How can it be so much? Haven't all the planning arrangements been developed and arranged properly?"
The finance department said: "You previously said you wanted to add a few singing practice rooms. The extra 10 million expenditure is to build top-level singing practice rooms."
"This singing practice room is not considered particularly top-level. Many private singing practice rooms built by first-tier singers cost tens of millions. I still want to ask you if you want to upgrade it."
Manager Liu is in charge of this piece, and he believes that Chenxi Entertainment has top-level singers like Xi Sister Meng Ze, and not building a top-level singing practice room is a waste.
The president frowned: "Old Six said it? I remember he wasn't very money-saving before?"
This "before" refers to the period when Chenxi Entertainment had not yet developed at high speed.
As the person in charge of the company's procurement and venue planning, Old Six exerted a style more stingy than the finance accountant, accurately and strictly controlling the budget.
The finance department remained calm and rational.
"After Xi Sister Meng Ze won the championship of "I Am a Singer" last year, she became popular again, and for a while, she was more popular than Seeing Jin Li."
"But she didn't want to run announcements frequently to consume her popularity, so Team Leader Sui Lingfang took many film and television OSTs for her."
"You should not know how many film and television OSTs she sang in the last three months of last year, a full 30, and all OSTs were recorded by renting top-level practice rooms."
"Just the rental fee alone cost 3 million."
The president of Chenxi Entertainment said without hesitation: "Build! But don't build tens of millions, build 10 million, as long as it can be used."
The explosion of the "Let's Farm" variety show made Chenxi Entertainment's development also surge, as if it had boarded the east wind.
Everything that couldn't be pushed forward before was quickly pushed forward this month.
All the projects that were only waiting for a tail-end were closed this month, and the funds were recovered.
Everything that only had a prototype was brought out with a plan this month, and then quickly pushed forward.
The company has different performances in different periods. Obviously, Chenxi Entertainment has officially entered a period of high-speed development.
It just depends on how long it can continue to surge forward and to what extent it can surge.
Chenxi Entertainment is developing better and better, which is definitely helpful to Seeing Jin Li.
Her team is more perfect, and at the same time, they also know how to fight for benefits for her.
In the past, Chenxi Entertainment's confidence was entirely because Seeing Jin Li's status was there. They couldn't lower the status of a first-tier top stream, so they had to set the standard high.
Although Sui Lingfang had tried hard to negotiate with brands, she still felt that she didn't have enough confidence.
Later, she realized that this lack of confidence was because the company was a bit empty.
Let alone those first-tier entertainment companies, just say Guangyue Media, which was established not long ago, sat firmly in the first-tier company chair as soon as it was established.
Clearly it was just a new company, but it had the ability of a first-tier company.
That's why it was defaulted to be first-tier by the industry as soon as it was established.
Although Chenxi Entertainment is developing well, everyone still feels that it is just a second-tier one. When brands and announcement parties negotiate, it is inevitable that they will have a trace of being high and above.
The only thing that is better is that Seeing Jin Li's fame is really too big, so those announcement parties honestly follow the market price.
And now, because Chenxi Entertainment has also become hot because of the "Let's Farm" variety show, the industry knows their ability to grasp the wind direction, and the eyes of people in the industry looking at them are different.
Sui Lingfang felt it soon, this confidence brought by the company.
She actually felt it faster than the president, that Chenxi Entertainment had already sat firmly in the first chair of second-tier companies and was launching an impact on first-tier companies!
This is not to say that she has divine calculation and predicted it in advance.
It is that the attitude of those announcement parties towards her has already shown the attitude of negotiating with first-tier companies, and they will give her respect.
And all of this, although Sui Lingfang knows it is not entirely brought by "Let's Farm," it is also because of this variety show that some changes have been caused.
Seeing Jin Li saw Sister Fang recently and felt that she was full of smiles.
After asking casually, she realized that the company's development had become better and better.
Sui Lingfang said: "I think it's still your unique eye. When you decided to invest in "Let's Farm," no one was optimistic about its prospects, but you just felt it could."
"If the company hadn't followed up with investment, where would the company's business be now?"
Seeing Jin Li shook her head: "Everyone has opportunities, but not everyone can grasp them."
"I am optimistic about it, but if the company didn't do promotion outside, "Let's Farm" might not be so smooth."
"I personally only want to invest and don't want to participate in other things, but I know that a good project doesn't mean it will get better and better just because it pulls money."
"If the person who operates this project is not attentive, no matter how good the project is, it will die."
Seeing Jin Li smiled slightly, her expression soft and said: "Sister Fang, this is what Chenxi Entertainment deserves."
Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "Tomorrow, the "Counterattack" crew will show a wave of behind-the-scenes first. They specifically told me not to let you post to promote it."
Seeing Jin Li was stunned, "Don't need me to promote? Then how are they going to promote?"
She looked at the time, it was already mid-June. If "Counterattack" was to be released in July, it would be just right to start promotion now.
It won't be too early, nor too late.
One month of promotion time is a movie exposure that people can accept relatively well.
But it's really strange not to need her to post a blog.
The influence of stars is actually quite strong. Now every film and television crew must let stars cooperate with promotion.
For a drama, if the star doesn't promote it, it lacks the help of fans, and it is very likely that it will be cold and no one will know.
Sui Lingfang thought of the phone call she made to Director Xu yesterday and said: "He believes that no matter you or Gu Cheng, your usual exposure rate is already very powerful, so there is no need to warm up for the movie in advance."
"Otherwise, if you appear in front of the public frequently and are over-exposed, it will instead cause the audience's resentment."
"So he decided to quietly explode some clips and behind-the-scenes through the revelation of a netizen, to arouse some audience's interest in this drama, and then like spontaneous promotion like tap water."
"He calls this promotion method 【Tap Water Recommendation Method】."
Seeing Jin Li:...
It was the first time she heard of this promotion and marketing method, but after thinking about it, she felt it might work.
Open and honest promotion, the audience doesn't care.
Through secret revelation promotion, netizens might be interested.
