Chapter 1178 1278. Takeoff

HELLOGIRLS's first mini album was released online, just like people's huge expectations. In just one hour, the digital album sales exceeded one million.

As for the physical album, including pre-sales, it has sold nearly 150,000 copies, which has reached the sales of domestic first-line singers.

And this is only the result of one hour of sales. The consumption power of idol culture has really shocked many people in the circle.

Boss Du has been very busy recently. The company has been out of control. More than a dozen artists have proposed to terminate the contract, including the company's top brother. You must know that this top brother has shares in the company. Even a top brother like him who is a shareholder wants to escape. You can imagine how much of a blow it is to the company's artists.

It was this top brother who first proposed to terminate the contract that so many people followed suit and escaped.

If this is the case, it's fine. In Boss Du's eyes, stars can be promoted. If one top brother leaves, another top brother can be promoted.

Although the agency has suffered a serious loss of talent recently, in Boss Du's view, it has not reached the point of exhaustion.

The top talents either fled or were poached, and those who stayed in the company were those with slightly lower quality. However, as long as the resources were in place, with a good face and the help of 800 YXH, it was not difficult to bring out a star to support the company.

Boss Du had a good idea, but unfortunately, the company no longer had room for her to intervene.

The board of directors had already formally proposed the notice of dismissal of Boss Du as early as last week, and only waited for the shareholders' meeting to vote in a week, and Boss Du would be driven out of the position of the company's leader.

This is the serious crisis that Boss Du has to consider. She even heard that another group of directors who are dissatisfied with her are ready to activate the original terms and completely drive her out of the company.

Boss Du has been running around in recent days, contacting those directors who had made friends before, but unfortunately the results are very limited.

Thinking that there was only one day left before the shareholders' meeting was held, Boss Du felt deeply desperate. However, at this time, the news of HELLO GIRLS's first mini album was a big hit. When she learned that the digital version of the group's first mini album had sold over one million copies in less than an hour, Boss Du felt dizzy.

When she woke up again, it was already the next morning. She was not in her car, but in a hospital bed.

"Why am I here?" After waking up, Boss Du found the assistant still sleeping on the accompanying bed, and asked after shaking her awake.

Seeing that her boss had woken up, the assistant quickly stood up, rubbing her eyes, and replied: "Boss, you fainted in the car yesterday. We were all scared and sent you to the hospital directly."

"By the way, the doctor said that except for your stomach problems, there is nothing wrong with your body. It's just that you have been too tired recently, and your body went on strike for self-protection. Don't worry."

"Yeah." Boss Du nodded silently. She knew her physical condition very well, because she would go to the hospital for a full body check every six months.

After thinking for a while, Boss Du asked about HELLOGIRLS's situation again.

"I heard that their digital album sales have exceeded three million. I don't know about the physical album, but someone on the Internet has counted through several major sales channels. About 260,000 copies were sold yesterday."

Hearing this set of numbers, Boss Du fell silent again, and the whole person seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant.

The news that Boss Du was in a coma and hospitalized soon broke out. Who made her so popular recently? This was the first time that Fanxing Group publicly warned the boss of an entertainment company with a formal lawyer's letter. The whole network regarded her as the first person in the entertainment industry who was not trustworthy.

The other bosses who were ready to follow Boss Du's actions didn't know how lucky they were at this moment. Although they were also warned by Fanxing Group, it was a private warning after all. Although they felt bad, their reputation was not as bad as Boss Du's.

Now that Boss Du has fainted, there are almost no people blessing and sympathizing on the Internet. Under the official microblog of Y Entertainment, there are all sarcasm and ridicule, and there are even curses that Boss Du will never get up.

Y Entertainment also wanted to control the comments at the beginning, but it had little effect. In the end, it had to close the comments to resist the sarcasm of netizens. This is also the first time that Y Entertainment has closed the comments since it started.

This is also a slap in the face of Boss Du.

You know, at the press conference held at the beginning of the year, Boss Du still faced a lot of media and said that Y Entertainment would never close the comments and would be brave enough to accept criticism from the media and the public.

Of course, now Boss Du's words are no longer effective.

Xuanyi and Meiqi also learned a little about Boss Du's situation. They didn't have any sympathy for it, but just felt sad.

A strong woman who was still dominating the entertainment industry just a month ago, she didn't expect to fall into such a state in such a short time.

However, the two girls have been living a very comfortable life these days. They joined the new company and signed another eight-year contract. However, they were very relieved to sign this long contract because their resources were enriched after the contract was confirmed.

In addition to the original resources of HELLOGIRLS, the two also enjoy the resources that the company's artists should have. In the whole group, except for Yang Xiaoli who just joined, there are Xuanyi and Meiqi. Who else can the resources be given to if not these three people?

Of course, Zhou Duoduo, the little princess of the company, is an exception.

Fanxing Entertainment is still best at variety shows. Yang Xiaoli, Meiqi and Xuanyi have received invitations to be regular guests of two new variety shows. The guests they are paired with are all domestic first-line stars, and the three are particularly looking forward to it.

The other girls in the team naturally discovered the changes in the company's treatment of Xuanyi and Meiqi. After knowing the reason, some of them also had some thoughts.

This coincided with Nie Wei's idea.

The order issued by Nie Wei was to first contact those girl idols under those brokerage companies who had previously thought of "two groups in parallel" and were ready to cooperate with Boss Du.

As for the other girls, Nie Wei gave the plan to acquire the other party's brokerage company. Anyway, Fanxing also wanted to expand the trainee department, so it was just right to use the acquisition of the company to win over a group of talents.

Fanxing's high-profile acquisition of the brokerage companies behind the girl idols in the circle also caused a huge response in the circle. Not to mention that it was not successful without commission, this situation alone was scary enough.

Of course, the brokerage companies that were proposed to be acquired were not ordinary people. In order to increase the acquisition price, the bosses of the entertainment companies who were tempted even began to recruit so-called trainees in large numbers, just to shout out a higher price when negotiating with Huayi.

This is quite similar to the situation when some people deliberately enclosed more land in order to get more compensation during demolition.

Of course, Fanxing is not stupid. What kind of people do you dare to sell for money? So the wrangling began. Nie Wei felt that if it didn't take a year or two, it would probably not come to a conclusion.

At the same time, Nie Wei also sold the copyright of this talent show to iFlytek Group for 500 million yuan.

Because Nie Wei poached so much, he knew that if he took the lead in the second season, it was estimated that few brokerage companies would dare to send their precious artists to Fanxing. After all, Fanxing's appearance was really ugly. For those brokerage companies, sending artists to participate in this show was simply a meat bun hitting a dog, and they would never come back.

So Nie Wei simply sold the program directly, and whoever wanted to do it could do it. He used the money from the sale of the program to acquire those brokerage companies and manage these high-quality idols well.

Interestingly, Nie Wei asked his agent Meisa to ask all the girls. Except for a few girls overseas who were a little hesitant about staying in Fanxing, the other girls were either direct or tactful, but basically expressed their hope to stay in Fanxing.

Anyone who is not stupid can see how huge the gap is between Fanxing Group and the previous brokerage company, especially the trainees from several small companies, who even want to transfer their contracts to Fanxing Company immediately. This is also the reason why Nie Wei dared to poach so ostentatiously, because these girls really want to stay.

A week has passed since the launch of HELLOGIRLS's first mini album, and the digital version has sold nearly five million copies, and even temporarily surpassed the sales of a new album of a top Korean boy group on the Fanxing music platform.

Although it is a digital album, and each copy costs only ten yuan, it still has a profit of fifty million yuan in the face of five million copies. This profit is basically the net profit, including the channels of the music platform, which are all owned by Fanxing. There is really no middleman to make a profit.

The sales of the physical album also exceeded 300,000 copies, which were basically bought by fans for collection. These days, many people's computers don't even have optical drives, so what can they use to play CDs.

For this reason, Fanxing also very considerately used the double-disc mode to create this physical album, which is the CD+U disk mode. In addition, the physical album also has youth photos of eleven girls, and the first batch of albums reserved by fans will also have one thousand and one hundred albums with collective autographed posters of the girls.

After all, for fans who buy to collect, these things are the key to motivating them to buy.

However, in Nie Wei's view, the tens of millions earned are trivial matters. The release of this group album has attracted a large number of group fans, which is the biggest gain for these girls.

If a group wants to go long-term, it must have many group fans.

With many group fans, the group will appear very united both internally and externally.

But if there are many toxic fans, like the three girls, passers-by can see the disharmony of this team. There will be quarrels almost every day, and there will be no end. The toxic fans will quarrel for resources, for who has a higher B-level, and they will even step on other members to promote their own idols.

If an idol group is full of these toxic fans, how can it last long?

Before, the fans of HELLOGIRLS were mostly toxic fans, just like the three little ones, and the proportion was even more serious than the three little ones.

After all, the eleven girls themselves came out of the show. They came from different brokerage companies. Even if they had a good relationship during the show, they were essentially competitors. The fans who liked them basically saw the personal charm of the idols, and had nothing to do with the group.

So when this girl group was first established, the most worrying thing for the team of Fanxing was not the operation of the girls, but the relationship between their fans. They really quarreled every day, and there was no day without quarrels.

During that period, they really lost a lot of popularity among passers-by, making countless people laugh.

However, with the release of the new album, a group of fans joined the group and this situation was immediately improved. Although it was not an immediate effect, at least with the increase in fans, there was a buffer zone for conflicts in the middle.

Of course, the current number of group fans still cannot satisfy the operation team of Fanxing. The group fans must have an overwhelming number when facing toxic fans to ensure the basic harmony of the group.

For example, the proportion of group fans of Girls' Generation exceeds 80%, and their fan composition is particularly harmonious, which is also one of the key factors for them to become a legendary girl group.

Of course, this is not of reference value. The reason why the fans of this girl group are so harmonious is that they have experienced events like the "Black Sea". External pressure forced the fans of the girls to become an extremely united group, because at that time they could only hug themselves for warmth, which was too legendary.

In the view of the Fanxing operation team, it would be great to be able to keep the group fans of an idol group above 50%, preferably 60%.

Such a number of group fans can form a suppressive force when facing the fans of any member.

So after the release of the first mini album, the girls were still busy with singing, and the Fanxing operation team has begun to plan a large group variety show for the girls, striving to attract another batch of group fans.

Since it is a large group variety show, it must reflect the sincere cooperation, unity and love between the girls.

Some people suggested travel, traveling together, playing and making noise, which would give people a sense of unity, and some people suggested life, forming a big family and living together, which would give people a warm feeling.

There were many suggestions, but there was no unified direction, and finally asked the company's president Ma Dong.

After listening to these suggestions, Ma Dong made a decision directly. Who stipulated that only one large group variety show could be filmed?

"First film the travel type, then the life type. I will let these girls stay together for the next two months." Ma Dong directly ordered.

In Ma Dong's view, the company is not without production funds. Let alone two large group variety shows, even if it is just one, Fanxing is not short of money.

So just plan two types directly and connect them seamlessly.

The development of HELLLOGIRLS in China has taken the high-speed channel, and on the other hand, Nie Wei's crew filming has gradually become smoother from the initial stumbling.

Especially Joseph, his recent transformation really shocked a lot of people. What's more surprising is that Joseph actually launched a love offensive against Nina.

This has also become a joke for many people in the crew after dinner. Joseph's method of pursuing people is really interesting. Every time he talks about it, everyone will laugh.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
