Chapter 1346 1448.
Suhang in April is in the rainy season, with rain falling three or four days a week. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, and the venue of "Idol Sports Games" is an indoor stadium, so a little rain will not affect the filming.
"Sister Tongtong, put on your raincoat first. We will park at the entrance of the hotel later, and we will get wet when we get off the car." The new assistant handed Mao Tongtong a white raincoat.
"No need, it's just a few steps." Mao Tongtong didn't want to wear a raincoat because it was troublesome.
"But what if Yiwan is sick?" The assistant was particularly cautious and thought of the worst, and then persuaded Mao Tongtong to put on a raincoat again.
In desperation, Mao Tongtong had to put on the raincoat.
But when she arrived at the entrance of the hotel, the light rain that had just been falling stopped. Mao Tongtong thought that the raincoat was worn in vain.
The hotel room had been booked long ago. After Mao Tongtong came to the room with the room card, she didn't pack her luggage and fell directly on the bed, sighing tiredly.
She was very tired.
From her debut to now, this is the most tiring half month for her.
Since becoming Dior's brand ambassador, the company immediately arranged a spot for Mao Tongtong to watch the Dior spring and summer show. She also took several photo pictorials for Dior's early summer fashion with several other brand ambassadors.
In addition, Mao Tongtong, who has a bright and sweet smile and a pair of good teeth, received a toothpaste advertisement for the first time in her life.
From this point, we can also see how strong Fanxing's ability to develop the commercial value of a star is. As long as you have an advantage, the company can convert it into actual value for you.
You must know that Mao Tongtong smiles very sweetly and has very white teeth. This is a fact that has always existed, but the previous agency was "blind" and could not see Mao Tongtong's advantages in this regard. Of course, it may also be that they found it but could not do it, and they did not have enough energy and could not contact resources, wasting the artist's advantages in vain.
In addition, Mao Tongtong was on the hot search twice this month, both of which were related to DIOR.
This is actually the benefit of signing a contract with a top brand. It is far more than the endorsement fee. The top brand will invest a lot of publicity fees, which can bring great popularity to the artist.
Just like this time, the hot search on Fanxing Weibo and the millions of popularity on Doudou are all the results of DIOR's investment in publicity.
Mao Tongtong felt interesting when she thought about it. Whether it is Weibo or Doudou, they are all products of Fanxing Group, and she is an artist of Fanxing. As a result, DIOR not only has to pay her a signing fee, but also spend money to make herself on the hot search. No one else can do this business.
Of course, DIOR is not stupid. Weibo has 1 billion users and Doudou has 600 million users. The two together almost cover all the current Chinese netizens, especially Doudou. The current average daily active users have exceeded 200 million. It can be said that it is currently the most popular mobile short video APP in China.
Spending only one-tenth of the price of TV advertising or even less, you can let so many people know about your products. This is also a very profitable thing for manufacturers.
"I'm so tired. I don't want to work anymore." Mao Tongtong, lying on the bed, complained lazily.
Mao Hui, who just came in, heard this and laughed and scolded, "You little bitch, you're so ungrateful. If the female artists in the same building knew what you said, they would definitely roll their eyes at you."
"Mom, you don't feel sorry for me." Mao Tongtong pouted and said coquettishly.
"Why shouldn't I feel sorry for you? I bought a pigeon for you and prepared to make pigeon soup for you." Mao Hui held the ingredients in her hand and said, "I also asked your uncle to bring local wild ginseng from the Northeast. Just two small roots cost 5,000 yuan, which is expensive. But this thing is very nourishing. I guarantee that you will be full of energy after eating it. You can also win a championship in the competition in two days."
"Oh, don't mention the competition. I'm so worried." Mao Tongtong turned over and lay on her back with lifeless eyes.
Recently, the company arranged another activity for her, which is to participate in the idol sports meeting that will be held soon. When Mao Tongtong heard the news, she was very resistant.
On the one hand, it is because she does not like sports very much. Apart from yoga and other body shaping exercises, she rarely participates in outdoor activities. This is why her skin is super white. If it does not absorb ultraviolet rays, the skin will naturally be very white.
On the other hand, it is because of her age. Although she looks very young, she is actually 31 years old. The idols participating in the idol sports meeting are all children in their teens and twenties. She is afraid that she will become the oldest player if she participates. Women, even if they are not old yet, are still very sensitive to the topic of age.
The Supernova Games lasts for seven days, which is a week. One day is for the preparation work such as team division, entrance ceremony, physical fitness test and project selection. In the remaining six days, three days are for intensive training. After all, many sports such as high jump, archery and table tennis added this time require skills. Some people have signed up, but they don’t know how to do these sports, so they must be taught intensively.
The remaining three days are the real competition days.
This week is actually a rare time for Mao Tongtong to relax. During these seven days, the company only arranged a half-day product endorsement activity for her, and the rest of the time was spent preparing for the sports meeting. For Mao Tongtong, who did not pursue academic performance, this was like a vacation.
Over there, Mao Hui was preparing ingredients with an induction cooker, and her mouth was not idle, asking about Mao Tongtong's recent situation.
"It seems that the company has another endorsement, which should be a sports brand, but it should be just an advertisement, not an endorsement."
"Then it's the crew's business. The TV series will take about two to three months to shoot, and there are three filming locations, mainly in Mingzhu City, and Nanhai Island and an ancient town in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I have seen the photos, they are all beautiful places. We can travel around the local area during our rest time."
"Okay, I'll listen to you then." Mao Hui replied with a smile.
In the past half month, her mood has obviously improved a lot, and she feels that the world has become colorful. This is naturally because her daughter's career has ushered in a major change. After a series of setbacks, it has finally rebounded.
This can be seen from the number of active people in Mao Tongtong's fan club.
Before joining Fanxing, the average daily posts of Mao Tongtong's fan club were only about 200, and in the super topic of Weibo, Mao Tongtong's total number of posts was less than 40,000, and the number of fans was only 30,000.
Compare it with the current popular stars, such as Yang Xiaoli, who debuted for more than a year, with more than 500,000 posts on the super topic and nearly 800,000 fans.
This set of data comparison is particularly heartbreaking. You have to know that Mao Tongtong, a predecessor who debuted for nine years, is not as popular as Yang Xiaoli, who debuted for less than two years.
But during the period of joining Fanxing, the data of Mao Tongtong's super topic has doubled.
This is real popularity, not bought by brands or companies. The most intuitive is Mao Tongtong's social platform. Originally, if a message was released, it would be considered a good result if it could exceed 1,000 in 24 hours. However, recently, the number of comments on each message has more than doubled, and sometimes it can even be close to 10,000.
Because Mao Tongtong's career has improved, those silent fans have also become active.
This is a very good phenomenon, because the active fans will also promote the popularity of stars, and their value will also rise. At that time, new fans will be attracted to join, which is a virtuous circle.
Mao Hui was thinking that her daughter's new play must be a big hit, and with the support of Fanxing's resources, she would soon become a big star.
In the suburbs of Kyoto, in a semi-underground rental house in a community, a hunched man who looked unhealthy was lying on an iron mesh bed in a daze.
The semi-underground house was damp and dark, and the owner of the house was obviously not very hygienic. The house was full of garbage and filled with a sour and pungent smell, but the man seemed to be unaware of the bad environment and lay motionless on the bed.
Until a phone ring broke the silence, the man touched the mobile phone on the bedside, saw the caller number, and his face was full of struggle.
After waiting for a minute, the man did not dare to answer the phone.
The phone stopped ringing, and the man breathed a sigh of relief, but before he lay down, a text message was sent to his mobile phone.
After opening the text message, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the man's forehead.
The phone rang again soon. This time the man answered the phone without hesitation. It was unknown what they talked about. When he hung up the phone, his face was pale and he was determined and fierce.
Nie Wei had been busy for more than ten days and was free again.
The post-production of "Fantastic Beasts 2" has been basically completed. The remaining work is fine-tuning. Nie Wei does not need to watch it. He will send it to him for a time period to take a look. If Nie Wei thinks it is okay, he will pass it. If not, he will continue to adjust it.
The release date of this movie in the summer vacation has also been confirmed to be July 6.
If nothing unexpected happens, the screening rate should be between 40 and 50. With the increasing prosperity of domestic films, the screening rate of more than 60 is rare in such an important period.
Nie Wei can get a screening rate of more than 40, which is still the guarantee of his reputation for many years. Of course, it also has a lot to do with his own theater chain.
During this period, the main rivals were Spider-Man 3 and The Lion King from Hollywood. In addition, the Hong Kong films Line Walker 2 and Drug War 2 were also strong rivals. The previous two films had very good reputations. Although many Hong Kong films’ sequels were not as good as the first one, with the support of the previous good reputation, as long as the quality of these two films was up to standard, the box office would not be bad.
When people are busy, they can be idle and have nothing to do.
Especially for people like Nie Wei who are used to being busy, they are not used to it. Seeing this, Shu Chang asked him if he wanted to go to the sports meeting together?
Nie Wei listened and was also very interested. It should be interesting to see so many good-looking young people running and jumping below, and sitting in the stands to eat and drink.
So two days before the start of the sports meeting, Nie Wei and Shu Chang came to Suzhou and Hangzhou together.
After resting for a day in Taohuayuan, Nie Wei also came to the hotel where the players stayed, mainly to find Zhou Duoduo.
This girl did not go to Taohuayuan, but stayed in the hotel. In her words, people cannot be separated from collective life, which makes them seem too special.
In fact, even if she stayed in the hotel, it was still very special. On the first day, her door was knocked dozens of times, all by people who came to get familiar with her.
Then she received a lot of gifts, none of which were expensive, mostly snacks, and some CDs and the like. After all, everyone was an idol, and when giving gifts, they usually gave their own albums.
Huang Ting shared the room with Zhou Duoduo. Xiang Yixing also wanted to live with Zhou Duoduo, but unfortunately there was no chance. Zhou Duoduo still competed as the captain of HELLO GIRLS in this sports meeting, so naturally she had to live with the members.
This was a rare time for the team to get together. There were eleven people, and no one was missing this time. All of them came.
The next time they can get together like this, it will probably be the time for the farewell concert.
After all, in the past year or so, everyone has their own careers. For example, Zhou Duoduo, Yang Xiaoli, and Xiao Caihong have begun to try to develop in the film and television industry.
For example, RAP Ya has begun to take the international route. After all, if your appearance is not good enough, it is easy to be criticized if you brag about your appearance, but it is okay to say that you have a high-end face and international style. Moreover, if you brag about this kind of thing once, someone will laugh at you. If you brag about it ten times, someone will agree with you. When you brag about it a hundred times or a thousand times, most people will believe it.
There are also those who are not easy to position like Lai Xiaoqi. She is too short, and it is difficult to find actors who can act with her when acting. She cannot support the character of the heroine. After all, young male artists nowadays are basically over 1.8 meters tall. Female actors are too short, which can easily make the audience lose interest.
As for singing skills, her voice is not outstanding, and her dancing is only good, but not outstanding. She tried variety shows, but the response was not very enthusiastic. Her fans are very ordinary, but passers-by think it's okay. It's just so different, and it's hard to position her.
After more than a year of development, as the popularity brought by the show faded, the gap between popular members and unpopular members became more and more obvious. For example, several foreign members, except for group variety shows, it is difficult to see her shadow on any popular program or hot search list.
This is unavoidable, it is determined by the market.
Just like He Dabao in the Super Girls talent show, she couldn't compare with Zhang Liangying and Bibi in singing skills, and couldn't compare with Li Tianhou in specialness, so she was at most fourth. Later, the market also positively recognized how correct the ranking of this talent show was. The development status of several people was almost the same as the ranking of the talent show.
It was a coincidence that when Nie Wei arrived, Zhou Duoduo was eating hot pot in the room with her teammates. As a result, when Nie Wei entered the room, he saw a group of beautiful girls devouring it.
All the girls were shocked to see that it was Nie Wei who entered the room.
Especially Yang Xiaoli, after seeing Nie Wei, he immediately dropped his chopsticks, stood up and quickly explained: "I didn't, no, I didn't eat, I lost weight..."
