Chapter 446 "Surprise"
Shang Qianyu opened the official group chat, and the first thing she did was to open the chat history and start climbing the stairs from the top down.
As a star active in the fan group, she wanted to smoothly connect with the chat content of the group members after a day's work, so she had to spend some time climbing the stairs every day to see what the fans talked about in the group today.
And some fans would x-on:Shang Qianyu from time to time.
Unlike many stars or operators who would be flooded with messages as soon as they appeared in the official fan group, making it impossible for people to chat normally, Shang Qianyu's fan group did not have this phenomenon at all.
Even if Shang Qianyu himself appeared in the group, there would be no meaningless flooding of messages. Sometimes, if the fans were happy to chat, they would ignore Shang Qianyu's speech and continue chatting.
So in other groups, because the stars had little time to bubble up, the fans would go crazy when they saw the stars themselves, resulting in a large amount of meaningless content flooding the screen, and finally causing the stars to be unwilling to join the group chat. In the vicious cycle, the atmosphere of Shang Qianyu's fan group is much better.
At first, the atmosphere of the fan group was no different from other fan groups, but after a long period of operation, when everyone knew what kind of person Shang Qianyu was, the atmosphere suddenly improved.
"Let's see what the group members are talking about first." Shang Qianyu rubbed his eyes, "Does anyone miss my mother Luo Ruying?"
As a result, after climbing the stairs for seven or eight minutes, Shang Qianyu could only see a few related topics in the group, and they were basically skipped after a sentence.
Even though Shang Qianyu and the operation had tacitly agreed that the group could discuss Luo Ruying's related content, the fans were still more conscious, without excessive discussion, or even little discussion.
"Are you really that sensible?!" Shang Qianyu couldn't help but think of Luo Ruying's bright and smiling expression when she left the floor, "Let's discuss more!"
After complaining, she closed the chat history, turned on the keyboard, and started typing text.
"I'm home from get off work, come and look here quickly, I'm going to announce a big news today!!!"
Seeing Shang Qianyu appear at this point, everyone is no longer surprised.
"Oh, remember to eat and drink more hot water."
"I have read it, please leave."
"I was on a business trip in Southeast Asia recently. Guess what I encountered? [Picture], I encountered your pirated peripherals, hahahahaha!!! The workmanship is so poor, hahahahaha, it feels inexplicably funny! Do you want me to buy one and mail it to you?"
Although the privacy of artists and employees is almost impossible to investigate due to the group's strong confidentiality mechanism and system rewards, the address of Kuiguang Group itself is public.
If you want to mail something to Shang Qianyu, just mail it directly to Kuiguang Group, and the operator will naturally collect it on your behalf.
"Hahahaha! Can the person above bring me one? I want it!"
"By the way, Xiao Shang, have you asked your boss if he is going to protect your copyright overseas? Although this thing is funny, it should infringe your copyright, right?"
"..."
Seeing that the topic was deviating again, Shang Qianyu quickly spoke up and interrupted the group members' chanting: "This is the company's legal department's business. I don't know much about it. Didn't you see that I came to announce an important thing today!"
"You have important things every day, right?"
"Remember the last time you said this with great fanfare, it was because the ramen gave away half a soft-boiled egg?"
"Your reputation is bankrupt, Xiao Shang, alas."
Seeing that everyone still didn't take it seriously, Shang Qianyu got angry, and didn't keep people in suspense, and said directly: "I saw Luo Ruying in the company today, in person, in person!"
"Do you understand the value of seeing Luo Ruying in person?"
After saying this, the people in the group were silent for a moment.
A few seconds later, a flood of messages came out: "Really?! Did you meet her in person? I have a friend who works in the group, and he has met you in person hundreds of times, but he has never met Luo Ruying."
"How is it, how is the real person compared to the one on camera?"
"By the way, are you going to get your autographed photos?"
"You are as excited as meeting a fan. I had the same feeling when I first met you. Alas, I was too young and impulsive at that time."
"Have you asked Xiao Luo what the plot of the second episode is?"
"Be careful, don't be so easily seduced by others."
"No way, the moment I saw Luo Ruying, I felt that she was so healing, super gentle and sweet!"
"..."
Seeing that the topic was back on track, Shang Qianyu sent a satisfied emoticon and continued: "Don't worry, she is really a very good person! Very Very good, very good!"
"How long have you known her? Are you so sure? It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust your IQ."
"What's the matter with the person above? What truth are you talking about?!"
"Yeah, how can you be so sure after just meeting her?"
Thinking that Luo Ruying was the company that accompanied him from an 18th-tier group to a first-tier star, Shang Qianyu resisted the urge to reveal the secret and forced a suspense: "I signed a confidentiality agreement with the company. There are some things I can't say, but I am sure and certain of one thing, that is, Luo Ruying will not collapse 100%, don't worry."
Someone in the fan group immediately wailed: "It's over, this level of mind is exactly the same as when I was chasing stars before, you are hopeless!"
"Uh, how can there be 100% people who will not collapse? Isn't this too absolute?"
"I choose to believe Xiao Shang this time. Actually, she has never made a mistake in major matters. Since she can say that, she must be more or less confident."
Shang Qianyu smelled the aroma of food coming from outside the room and typed a few points faster: "Yes, my mother Luo Ruyin is the best in the world. Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to eat. I'm going to eat steamed pork ribs today. It's delicious. Bye~"
"Wait, I remember you said something like 'Mom loves you Luo Ruyin' before? How come the seniority is reversed after meeting each other? Can this be reversed?"
"Don't eat, come back quickly! I need an explanation!"
"Aren't you one of the group's elders? Aren't you the first-line star that the group has cultivated from scratch? Where are your seniors? How come you recognize someone else as your mother?"
"Alas, Xiaoshang is embarrassed every day, I'm used to it."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Luo Rujin opened an official fan group yet? I want to be a messenger and send out today's chat records to see what everyone thinks."
"You're still thinking, some people have already taken action. Yes, that person is me!"
"Okay, let me see what other groups say."
"..."
...
The next day, in the luxurious conference room next to the president's office.
Yang Ruoqian, Qi Mu and several executives from the operations department pushed the door open.
"Mr. Yang."
"Good morning, Mr. Yang."
Yesterday afternoon, they had a discussion on how to expose Luo Rujin's true identity.
But it was close to the end of get off work at that time, and this matter was unprecedented in the entire entertainment industry, so they couldn't discuss a plan.
Some employees thought it was better to be conservative and try not to shock fans too much when exposing their identities, so as to avoid any stress reaction and leave appropriate room for remediation for possible mistakes afterwards.
Another part of the employees held the idea of either not doing it or doing it big, and believed that this exposure must be shocking enough and unexpected enough. They thought that the proposal of gradual progress was too conservative.
In short, the executives were roughly divided into two factions, radicals and conservatives.
The reason why no specific idea was finally put forward yesterday was because General Manager Yang felt that the radicals were too conservative.
In the end, under General Manager Yang's veto, everyone could only give up temporarily and discuss it again the next morning.
Yang Ruoqian saw that everyone was here and nodded: "Sit down, everyone's suggestions yesterday were a bit inappropriate and not thorough. Do you have any new ideas today?"
After the discussion the day before, the conservatives were completely defeated under the suppression of General Manager Yang, so everyone had to move in the direction of the radicals.
An operations manager raised his hand, and after getting Yang Ruoqian's approval, he said, "After the filming of the TV series "Beginning" is finished, we can organize an online event to expose Luo Ruzhen's true identity live during the event."
"By the way, we can take pictures of our computer room and those advanced equipment to show everyone how much effort the group has put into this."
"As for the moment when the identity is exposed, we can just say that Luo Ruzhen is actually just a synthetic virtual personality without any preparation. What do you think?"
The person who spoke was the conservative yesterday. After every punctuation mark of the plan was rejected by General Manager Yang, they had to change their strategy and make the plan more radical.
The radical employees immediately expressed different opinions.
"Not so good. Luo Ruying's current publicity is completely based on that of a first-line star, and the effect is also very significant. She is now very popular on the Internet and in the entertainment industry, and there are so many sponsors who want her to endorse their products."
"How can online exposure alone be enough?"
"I think we can directly hold an offline fan meeting and organize activities in the name of Luo Ruying. Finally, when it is unveiled, we can just put a machine there and say that this is Luo Ruying, so that everyone, including reporters, will be surprised. This is the right thing to do."
"Think about it, a person who is covered with a veil of mystery and whom many people have been looking for but can't find, turns out to be a How shocked would they be to see a machine that could only greet all fans through the screen? "
"They took gifts, cameras, and autograph papers to ask Luo Ruyin to sign and take photos, but they saw a machine. How shocked would they be?"
"Seeing it with my own eyes, it is more effective than online live broadcast."
"And fans are the main consumers. Holding an offline fan meeting can also indirectly increase the sales of our surrounding industries."
"..."
"I think you are still conservative. It should be like this..."
In the meeting room, the managers of the operation department discussed one after another, while Yang Ruoqian and Qi Mu watched in silence.
Qi Mu is the secretary, responsible for recording.
Yang Ruoqian is the boss, responsible for the final decision.
After several plans were roughly proposed, the managers of the operation department finally stopped discussing and turned their attention to Yang Ruoqian.
"Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
"I think the framework of the second plan is good." Yang Ruoqian quickly went through the plans and sighed: "Although it is still too conservative, the basic framework is there. I will tell you a few ideas, and you can follow the original plan and add what I said."
These managers all insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone else.
After all, everyone has more or less achievements, and when faced with an unprecedented case, even the most capable person can only come up with a logically self-consistent plan, but it is extremely difficult to convince others.
At this time, it is best for General Manager Yang to come forward in person and come up with a plan.
General Manager Yang is very experienced in turning unprecedented things into classic cases, and when he comes to practice, everyone will feel more confident.
Sure enough, General Manager Yang actually already has a plan in mind.
"Mr. Yang, please go ahead."
Yang Ruoqian knocked on the table and said, "First of all, the idea of the offline fan meeting is correct, but the content is not rich enough."
"If you want to be shocking enough at the end, you must have enough foreshadowing, otherwise the foreshadowing is insufficient, and the reversal will appear weak."
"You just mentioned the autograph activity, why didn't you continue? Do you think the machine can't sign?"
"This is the result of being too conservative."
"Why can't the machine sign? Aren't the documents you usually print also printed by the machine?"
"Sign, all the fans present sign one copy, and we will pay for the signature paper!"
Yang Ruoqian looked at the confused eyes of the audience and was more satisfied with the plan in his heart: "Moreover, your final plan came to an abrupt end when the identity was exposed... It seems that the whole project ended after the identity was exposed."
"After the identity was exposed, a concert must be held immediately."
Speaking of this, Yang Ruoqian went over his thoroughly perfected plan in his mind.
What the supervisor just said was right. The offline fan meeting was indeed shocking enough, but there was also the risk of increasing peripheral profits, which had to be prevented.
So he simply went all out and started all the projects that cost money.
Yang Ruoqian didn't believe that once their identities were exposed and everyone realized they had been cheated and fooled by the machine signature, they would still go to the concert.
How much of a loss would it be to spend money to hold a concert without ticket revenue?
A concert full of empty seats, just thinking about it makes people happy.
Sure enough, an operator immediately expressed his concerns: "Mr. Yang, what if someone who bought the ticket can't accept the fact and wants a refund?"
Yang Ruoqian looked at him puzzledly and said, "Then refund him. Remember, you must design the refund process as simple as possible, and the server must be good."
"Okay, that's all. Time is tight. Go and do it quickly. Dismiss."
