Chapter 1149 1249. Two groups running in parallel? No!
On October 30, the live broadcast of the finals of "PROUDCE-101" was held at the Mercedes-Benz Center in Mingzhu City.
Fifteen thousand tickets were sold out in less than ten minutes after the sale started. Many people who wanted to buy tickets clearly saw that there were tickets on the page, but when they refreshed the page, the tickets were gone.
The tickets that originally cost only six hundred yuan were sold for three thousand yuan in less than half a day, and the VIP tickets for the front field, which cost twelve thousand yuan, were directly sold for five figures.
In addition, there are 1,500 tickets that are evenly distributed to each girl's fan club, allowing them to distribute them themselves.
In addition, the bosses and families of the brokerage companies of the final selected trainees will also be present to let them witness the moment when the trainees finally make their successful debut after accepting three months of brutal competition.
When Nie Wei got off the plane, it was already 4:20 pm. There were less than three hours before the live broadcast of the show started. Excluding the journey, Nie Wei only had about an hour left.
Nie Wei went home, took a shower, changed into a suit that he had prepared long ago, and headed to the venue by car.
He has been very busy in the United States recently, but he has not ignored the dynamics in China, especially the competition that his sister participated in. Of course, he would not ignore such an important matter. Although he has not watched the show, at least Nie Wei will take time to watch the results of each episode.
Now that it is the time for the finals, Nie Wei also put down his work and returned to China, ready to witness his sister's glorious moment with his own eyes.
After Nie Wei arrived at the venue by car, he met Zhou Aiguo and Su Qing who came from Kyoto in the backstage.
When the two saw Nie Wei, their faces instantly bloomed with smiles, and Su Qing even held Nie Wei's hand tightly and kept asking about his well-being.
"My baby, are you eating well and living well in the United States? You've lost weight."
"Mom, I've gained two pounds in this period of time."
"Don't stay up late. Staying up late hurts your body, especially your heart and soul. You look so tired. Why don't you pay more attention to your body?"
"I usually go to bed early and get up early. Today it's because I took too long on the plane."
"Tell me about you brothers and sisters. How come you both entered the entertainment industry? Now everyone is away from home. It's hard for me to see you." Su Qing's eyes were red as she spoke.
Originally, Nie Wei was alone in the entertainment industry, and at least Zhou Duoduo accompanied Su Qing every day.
But in the past two years, Zhou Duoduo has also entered the entertainment industry. Su Qing rarely sees the brothers and sisters a few times a year. During the Chinese New Year this year, Zhou Duoduo missed the New Year's Eve at home for the first time, which made Su Qing very sad.
In addition, Zhou Duoduo participated in this program and had no communication for three months, which made Su Qing feel even more uncomfortable. You know, even if you can't see Zhou Duoduo and Nie Wei, they will at least call her a few times a week. But now they haven't even called Zhou Duoduo for three months. It's conceivable how much parents miss her.
"Mom, it will be fine after today. They will have a week of rest after the competition. She can stay at home with you all the time." Nie Wei comforted Su Qing, and the latter smiled again after hearing this.
But Nie Wei didn't tell Su Qing the truth. This week may be the only opportunity for Zhou Duoduo to have a long rest in the future.
According to the news from Fanxing Company, the effect of "PROUDCE-101" is huge. Although these girls haven't finished the competition yet, the group work has been booked for half a year, and the individual work will only be confirmed after the final list is determined. At that time, it will definitely be no less than the group work.
The live broadcast will take three hours, and Su Qing went to the bathroom in advance. Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Aiguo, who had been silent on the side, spoke.
"Nie Wei, don't feel burdened. Your mother is just sad now. In fact, she is so happy to see you and Duoduo achieve such good results on TV. Recently, she has been telling everyone how promising her daughter is and how she always wins first place in competitions."
"I know you and Duoduo will be very busy in the future, especially Duoduo, who may be busier than before, but this is your own life. Don't feel burdened because of us, because that is your life, the life you want to live."
"And we are actually living a good life. Your mother is about to retire recently, and I am also going to take her on a trip around the world. Just like you young people say, the world is so big, and we old people also want to go around."
"Uncle, you are so fashionable. You even know this." Hearing the popular words blurted out by Uncle Zhou, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing.
"Although your uncle is old, he keeps up with the trend." Zhou Aiguo said very complacently. He is indeed a fashionable uncle. Especially after resigning from his position in the company, he has let himself go more and more. His dress is getting younger and younger. He will play with and learn about the popular things.
Su Qing can't compare to this. Su Qing's hobbies are cultural relics, reading, or taking care of the family. Unless it is necessary, she is not curious about the popular things that young people do.
"It's good. This time, Shu Chang and I went to Europe to live for a while. We had a lot of fun and saw the aurora. I will write a travel guide for you and you can take my mother to go around."
"Okay, you arrange the route for us and we will enjoy it." Zhou Aiguo laughed, his expression was very yearning.
"What are you laughing about?" Su Qing, who had just opened the door after returning from the bathroom, heard the father and son laughing happily there, so she asked casually.
"Let's talk about travel. Didn't Nie Wei take Xiao Shu to Europe for a few months a while ago? I thought that when you retire and have time, I will take you to Europe to play." Zhou Aiguo said.
"Okay, I used to go to Europe to attend exhibitions or seminars, and I didn't have time to have fun. When I retire, we can go there to have fun." Su Qing is not opposed to traveling abroad at all.
After all, she also liked to go out when she was young, especially because of work. She has been to many places, but she has never browsed the local places properly. This has to be said to be a pity, and Su Qing is very good at foreign languages. Even if she travels abroad, there will basically be no communication barriers.
In fact, the problem of communication barriers prevents many elderly people from traveling abroad. Without this problem, many people are willing to go abroad to play.
Seeing that his mother was willing to travel, Nie Wei was also very happy. What he feared most was that Su Qing would do nothing after retirement and stay idle at home, which would surely make her sick.
Now that she was willing to travel abroad and her family had the conditions, Nie Wei really had to plan a long-term travel route for the two elders.
Time soon came to 7:30 in the evening. The audience and fans had entered the venue half an hour ago, and the guests also began to enter one after another.
Nie Wei came to the scene today on behalf of Huayi. He was accompanied by Luo Kai, who was nominally the highest supervisor of the company's practice room, although he basically never managed any trainees.
In addition, Jing Bairan and Zheng Shuang also accompanied Nie Wei to attend. The two stars came to support the scene.
Originally, the seats for the relatives of the stars were separated from the seats of the company's bosses, but Nie Wei specially arranged for his parents to sit with him. At that time, Zhou Duoduo on the stage would be able to see the three of them at once as long as she looked over, and there was no need to divide her attention to look for them.
When Nie Wei showed up at the venue with his parents, there was a huge exclamation of "Wow".
Obviously, no one expected that Nie Wei, who was preparing a new movie in the United States, would actually show up at the venue. You know, the program team had not promoted this news before.
It's not that the program team was hiding it, but until Nie Wei's plane landed, he was not sure whether he could catch up with the live finals. Naturally, the program team did not dare to promote Nie Wei, who was not sure whether he would be there, at the risk of disappointing the audience.
Besides, this is a live broadcast. As long as Nie Wei shows up, the audience who get the news will definitely rush into the live broadcast room.
Zhou Duoduo, who was rehearsing on the stage, heard the exclamations of tens of thousands of audiences at the scene, and subconsciously looked towards the entrance. Nie Wei, Zhou Aiguo and Su Qing were standing there waving and greeting her.
Zhou Duoduo was not surprised that her parents would come, because she had called them before, but Nie Wei's appearance really surprised Zhou Duoduo. She was stunned for a moment, and even forgot that she was rehearsing a dance. She stood in the middle of the stage, letting the music ring in her ears, but she had forgotten what to do.
"Wow, it's Senior Nie Wei." The trainees on the stage were obviously also frightened by the earth-shaking exclamation at the scene. Seeing Zhou Duoduo's reaction, they followed her gaze and saw Nie Wei at the entrance.
At this time, several girls forgot that they were rehearsing, and all excitedly surrounded Zhou Duoduo and looked at Nie Wei in the distance.
"Duoduo, your brother really came to see you on the scene. He loves you so much."
"Duoduo, I am a loyal fan of your brother. Can you let him take a photo with me later?"
"Senior Nie Wei is so handsome."
"If I can have one tenth of the popularity of Senior Nie Wei, I will be satisfied."
On the stage, they are idols in other people's minds, but after Nie Wei appeared, all these girls became fans of Nie Wei.
Zhou Duoduo tried to stay calm, but the corners of her mouth gradually rose, her eyes narrowed into a crescent, and with the dark circles accumulated from three months of hard work, she smiled like a little panda.
Ignoring the teammates who were shouting beside her, Zhou Duoduo came to her senses and immediately waved her arms happily towards Nie Wei and her parents.
"Duoduo is waving at us, you should do the same." Su Qing followed Zhou Duoduo, raised her arms and waved happily, and did not forget to tell Zhou Aiguo and Nie Wei beside her to do the same.
Zhou Aiguo's face turned red. He was too embarrassed to do such a childish action in front of so many people.
Nie Wei, who was standing by, also pretended to ignore it.
Su Qing obviously guessed what the father and son were thinking. She rolled her eyes at them, but she didn't force them to do it.
Zhou Duoduo was obviously much more excited when she saw Nie Wei appear. For a while, she became the most active kid on the stage, laughing and making noises. Especially Huang Ting and Yang Xiaoli, the two people who had the best relationship with her, were almost driven crazy by her.
Fans at the scene watched Zhou Duoduo "bullying" Huang Ting and Yang Xiaoli but laughed so hard. The live broadcast room was also filled with bullet screens. The fans of the three companies were very happy to see that the relationship between their idols was so good.
Taking advantage of the time before the opening, bosses from other companies kept coming to visit Nie Wei.
Basically, they handed over a business card, chatted for a few words at most, and talked about some unreliable relationships, trying to make themselves familiar in front of Nie Wei.
After all, both Huayi Group and Fanxing Group are at the level of towering trees in the industry.
Huayi focuses on drama, music and idol groups, while Fanxing is the industry's variety show overlord. The two companies cover almost all mainstream businesses in the entertainment industry, and Nie Wei is the big boss of these two companies, so everyone naturally wants to curry favor with them.
Of course, there are some people who don't have good taste, such as the boss of Y Entertainment.
When greeting, she implicitly proposed that Nie Wei would allow the members of their group to run in parallel. Obviously, the boss saw that the show was so popular and the two members who were not popular suddenly became popular, and she had the wrong idea.
But this time, because the contract clearly stipulated, the other party could not use small tricks and could only lure Nie Wei with benefits.
"The benefits of running two groups in parallel are huge, and our company will also devote all resources to promote the members. This is of great benefit to the members and even the group..." The boss of Y Entertainment said while throwing a wink at Nie Wei, and the bosses of the nearby companies also listened with their ears perked up.
If Nie Wei gives in to Y Entertainment, then they will definitely hope that the two groups will run in parallel.
All this is because of the distribution of the profits of the temporary group to be formed.
After the group debuts in the future, 11% of the profits will be shared by each member, that is, if the group earns 100 yuan, each member can get 1 yuan.
In addition, 22% is distributed to the agency, which is distributed according to the number of selected people.
As for the remaining 67%, it is all the profits of Fanxing.
Calculating, a brokerage company can actually get at most 6% of the profits, but if it can get popular members to come back and bring the idol group of its own company, then 50% or even 80% or 90% of the profits will belong to the company.
The difference between them also prompted them to be very eager for the two groups to run in parallel.
It’s a pity that this is completely a delusion. Before the boss of Y Entertainment finished speaking, Nie Wei interrupted her expressionlessly.
"It's up to us to do what the contract says. The so-called running two groups in parallel is impossible."
"But..."
"No buts."
Nie Wei's tough attitude made the boss of Y Entertainment a little embarrassed. His seemingly gentle smile became a little stiff. The bosses of other brokerage companies who were listening carefully also put away their thoughts at this time. They dared not offend Nie Wei.
