Chapter 594 594. Reversal
Looking at the five fledgling children, the manager felt a little headache and felt that it was time to find time to teach them some rules in the entertainment industry.
At least we must first change our emotional and impulsive habits.
You have to know how many rising stars who originally had unlimited potential had their careers suffer a huge blow just because of one thing or a word, causing their originally dazzling stardom to dim in an instant. They could have been on the front line or even higher, but in the end But he can only carry a negative image and remain in the circle.
In the view of the agent, as long as the five members of the WIN group do not commit suicide and follow the company's arrangements, they will definitely have a place in the entertainment industry.
If nothing else, look at the united reaction of fans today. This is a very good phenomenon.
The cohesion shown by the fan group also reflects their support for this group to a certain extent. What's more, as long as the fan group has experienced similar group incidents like today, the cohesion will inevitably increase greatly. By then, the WIN group will Loyalty will also be higher.
This is one of the reasons why the company did not give a positive response immediately after learning about the situation, nor did it allow the group members to tell fans the truth in private.
There is also another purpose, which is naturally to create hype. In order to cooperate with the media, the company even issued an announcement that was obviously perfunctory to fans.
This announcement comes after fans petitioned for more than an hour, and the incident has been successfully fermented due to the unity of fans.
"As for the many WIN fans who have questioned the company's regulations, the company guarantees that all assessments are conducted in a fair and just manner, and the fans' suggestions will be considered by the company as appropriate."
In a very short announcement, it first mentioned the word "fairness", and then used "discretion" to treat the fans' petitions, which immediately made the fans feel unhappy.
"Fair assessment is your obligation, but what we want is a group of five people, not even one less!"
"What does discretion mean? When I hear this word, I feel perfunctory. Do you mean that one of them must be eliminated?"
"I don't care, every member of the WIN group represents a finger. If one is missing, it means it is disabled and incomplete."
"Yes, no one can be missing, five of us are of the same mind!"
Putting on a perfunctory attitude when the fans were at their most enthusiastic, which naturally dissatisfied the fans, ushered in a new wave of petitions and even a lot of protest posts.
Many media reporters who followed the progress were laughing at whether Huayi's public relations hired temporary workers today, and they would post such vague posts. They were not here to put out the fire. This was simply adding fuel to the fire.
You must know that fans are very enthusiastic about using their own power to join the five members of WIN group. However, Huayi's post seems to be mocking fans for overestimating their capabilities, especially the last one of 'considering it as appropriate', then The perfunctory smell can be smelled through the screen.
This boosts morale and makes fans who feel hopeful about success accept it.
It can be said that this announcement immediately put Huayi Company into a passive position. It is estimated that in the eyes of this group of young fans of WIN group, the favorability has dropped to a negative number.
"The public relations employee who issued this announcement may leave his job tomorrow."
"How long do you think it will take for Huayi to issue a new announcement?"
"I guess I have to wait for a long time. Huayi also wants to save face, okay? I can't just do what you say. I have to give myself a step down."
"Hahahahahaha."
In a group of reporters, several reporters did not hide their sarcasm and chatted happily. While they were laughing at Huayi's failure in crisis public relations this time, they were showing off how they would deal with it. In the office of Kyoto Entertainment News, several colleagues showed mocking expressions at their remarks.
"These guys are really ignorant. They only see the surface of things, but they still look complacent."
"I guess he's a rookie."
"But Huayi is really ruthless. As soon as this announcement came out, these fans became more determined to help WIN group, and their loyalty increased greatly."
"It's just that I lost some favorability points."
"That's not right." A middle-aged man wearing glasses suddenly walked out of the corner. After everyone saw him, they quickly stood up to say hello, calling themselves editor-in-chief.
"Fans and agencies are originally on opposite sides, so how can we talk about favorability? Instead of pursuing such unrealistic things, it is better to let its groups enjoy the maximum benefits. The decision-makers of Huayi's promotion this time are deeply Know this well."
While the editor-in-chief was praising, Nie Wei, as the decision-maker for this temporary publicity, was also discussing this matter with Wang Zhonglei.
“It’s hard for an agency to have a good impression in the eyes of fans. After all, if you want idols to make money, they have to work. But if you let them work, fans will think you’re tired of them. If you don’t let them work, and Regardless of whether you can make money, fans will definitely accuse you of not paying attention to their idols, and they may even accuse you of hiding their idols."
"It's true, there is such a big difference between being an actor's manager and being an idol's manager. It's a great knowledge." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.
Nie Wei also summed up this point after having a lot of experience in the original time and space.
Often, the relationship between the management companies that create idols and fans is not very good, but those management companies that focus on managing actors will have fewer conflicts with fans.
The main reason for this is that idols need exposure all the time, while actors do not.
Of course, it is also related to the different fan audiences between the two, but since Huayi wants to be an idol group, it must have some understanding of the relationship between idol groups, fans and management companies. Nie Wei spent some time sorting out the relevant information. Taking advantage of today's incident, he showed it to Wang Zhonglei and asked him to learn from it a little, so that he could avoid detours when managing this group in the future.
Moreover, Huayi is currently investing more and more in creating idols. In the past, there were Cheng Kun and Fan Binbin, and now there is the WIN group, and F4. Especially the latter two groups, although the focus will be different in the future, they will definitely follow the idol route for a period of time. Be prepared in advance and be prepared.
"Well, benefiting the group is indirectly benefiting the company, and don't you have a killer weapon?" Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.
"That's right, that's why I called you here at this time, brother Zhonglei. We are also actors in this play."
The previous ambiguity was just a cover to make the fans united against the enemy and face the big boss of Huayi more cohesively, but Huayi has made a decision after all, and all five people will stay.
This is the result that fans want, but it must be solved in a reasonable way, otherwise if fans know that their protest is just a waste of time, the feeling of being deceived will instantly destroy the cohesion and loyalty that has been hard to gather now.
The blow to the WIN group will be great at that time, and it is very likely that the five big boys will debut with the name of "liar".
And how to make up this lie is also very simple. After all, the results of the five people have not been announced publicly, and only a few people know about it. They have all been ordered to keep their mouths shut by Wang Zhonglei. In addition, Nie Wei, Wang Zhonglei and Luo Yuan, as the final examiners, have to play another discussion plot, and the content is not important. What is important is to highlight that because of the wishes of the fans, the three finally unanimously decided that all five people should stay.
Nie Wei and others quickly found a good time to complete this video, and then Nie Wei personally supervised the editing to ensure that there was no trace of the clues.
The petition of tens of thousands of fans did not end there. Although the climax faded, the follow-up was very strong.
Every day, a large number of fans would leave messages on Huayi's official website, and the impact caused also attracted a lot of spectators. In just a few days, the number of paying fans in the fan club, which had just exceeded 10,000, increased by more than 5,000.
Many of these new fans got to know this group through this "petition event", and many were even moved to join because of the unity of WIN fans. This influence was also fed back to the fans of WIN, making them feel more honored and proud, and their heart to help idols became more determined.
The only pity is that Huayi Company has not responded since the announcement, which made fans very anxious and had a very bad impression of Huayi Company.
This situation continued until the last episode of "WIN's Victory Formula" was broadcast.
When the five people finally faced the final assessment, the fans outside the screen probably had their heartbeats faster than the five people who were taking the test at that time.
When Fu Xinbo made a mistake and sang out of tune, I don’t know how many of Fu Xinbo’s fans forgot to breathe at this moment, and their hearts tightened with Nie Wei’s frown.
“Will our Baozi be the one eliminated?”
“Don’t be such a pessimist, Baozi is so good, how could he be eliminated, definitely not.”
“I saw Nie Wei frowning, it’s not my illusion.”
“He really frowned, Baozi sang out of tune in that part, alas, the situation is not good.”
With the broadcast of “WIN’s Victory Formula”, the handsome Fu Xinbo has become another popular member of the group besides Purbajia with his good looks and good personality. Because Fu Xinbo always likes to make a puffy face action, fans who like him also gave him a very vivid nickname, Baozi.
In the past, when fans saw Fu Xinbo puffing up his face, they would call him cute. But this time, seeing Fu Xinbo puffing up his face but with a lonely expression, fans could no longer call him cute, but only felt indescribable pain.
Those girls with overflowing maternal love even wanted to hug him directly in their arms and comfort him.
Just when Fu Xinbo's fans thought it was not good, Zhang Xiaochen's fans suffered a bigger blow.
As soon as Zhang Xiaochen entered the room, Luo Yuan "interrogated" him. Luo Yuan's sentence "Call people in order of grades, you are the last one" made Zhang Xiaochen's fans feel chilled and a little angry.
"Who is this woman? Can she talk?"
"Is it so discouraging? Do you have to label our Xiaochen as 'last in last place' before the assessment?"
"Xiaochen, don't be influenced by this woman. You must perform well."
While Zhang Xiaochen's fans were cursing Luo Yuan, they couldn't help but worry about Zhang Xiaochen. No matter what, there was one thing that was absolutely true, that is, their favorite Zhang Xiaochen was really the last one among the five and the member most likely to be eliminated.
The only thing that comforted Zhang Xiaochen's fans was that Zhang Xiaochen performed very well afterwards, and several judges' eyes clearly showed satisfaction.
Soon, it was finally time to announce the results.
When Wang Ge came to their dormitory with the final results, I don't know how many people in front of the TV were nervous.
It was not surprising that Purbajia, Zhang Dianfei and Zhang Chao were selected, especially the first two, who have always been the best in the team, and their performance has not been lower than the top three in three months.
And Zhang Chao's fans were also very proud. The big boy who cried because of his last place in the first week finally caught up bravely and won Wang Zhonglei's praise on the spot in the end-of-month assessment. Even Nie Wei applauded.
His efforts deserved this position.
On the contrary, the fans of Fu Xinbo and Zhang Xiaochen were the most nervous. Originally, the results of these two were the last two, and Luo Yuan also said at the time that their scores were not much different. Although Fu Xinbo had a small advantage, he did not perform well in the last assessment.
Although Zhang Xiaochen was the last one, his performance in the last assessment was good. No one dared to give an accurate answer to who would be eliminated in the end.
"No matter what the result is, we must not let the eliminated one leave. After the show tonight, we will immediately organize a second petition. We must let Huayi see the persistence of our fans and make them compromise." The fan who organized the first petition posted again.
There were countless responses below.
"That's right, five people, no one can be missing."
"Five people, five fingers, no one can be missing."
"Support, count me in."
"I will also participate, let Huayi see the power of our fans."
"Kyoto fans who have the ability and time can sign up. If the online petition doesn't work, we will go to the gate of Huayi Company and sit in silence until they agree!"
Soon, Brother Wang announced the fourth candidate, Fu Xinbo. His fans were relieved, but Zhang Xiaochen's fans almost went crazy because of this.
As for why it was almost, it was because after announcing Fu Xinbo's selection, Brother Wang actually announced that Zhang Xiaochen was also selected for the group.
Zhang Xiaochen was choking on the TV and looked confused, and the fans outside the TV were also confused. The next moment, before the fans could recover, the TV screen turned and seemed to return to the moment when Zhang Xiaochen had just left the practice room.
Nie Wei, Wang Zhonglei and Luo Yuan discussed the issue of whether Fu Xinbo and Zhang Xiaochen should stay or leave. In the end, because of Nie Wei's words "the wishes of the fans are the most important", Zhang Xiaochen, who was originally facing elimination, finally entered the group as he wished.
This scene also made the fans in front of the TV finally understand the reason for this result. At that moment, all the fans who participated in the petition activity suddenly felt a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts.
I have maintained my idol's star journey with my own efforts. Is there anything that can make fans more proud than this?
No! ! ! This is what fans are most proud of!
As a result, Nie Wei became the best boss and senior in the eyes of WIN fans. Countless fans of WIN, especially Zhang Xiaochen's fans, left messages on Nie Wei's blog to express their gratitude, but they didn't know that the "last elimination rule" was actually created by this guy they were grateful to.
In addition to Nie Wei being grateful to many fans, Huayi Company also saved a little image. At least in the eyes of fans, this is a brokerage company that is willing to listen to the voices of fans. Just based on this point, it is much better than many brokerage companies in the country.
As for WIN itself, it has benefited a lot. Because of this incident, the cohesion of fans has instantly improved by several levels. I am afraid that many fans of senior artists who have debuted for many years may not have such a high cohesion.
And those media who once laughed at Huayi's response plan were dumbfounded. The strong Huayi actually compromised with fans, but did not give people a sense of weakness. Instead, it also reflected a humane corporate culture and strongly brushed a wave of public favor.
The key marketing of WIN was also very successful.
Thanks to 0773, hlnzou, and linyufeiyang for their support. There was a sudden power outage at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. It was said that the handlebars of the subway construction nearby dug up and cut off the power. I thought it would be repaired quickly like in the past, but there was no power all day until 3 o'clock this morning. It was not my wish to stop updating, and I sincerely apologize here.
