Chapter 1499 1601. The punishment of being forgotten
HELLOGIRLS fans are very welcoming to Nie Wei, even more enthusiastic than welcoming their favorite idols, and their mouths are as sweet as they can be.
At the same time, each fan did not forget to praise Nie Wei and their idols at the same time.
The idea of these fans is very simple, that is, they want to please Nie Wei so that Nie Wei can take care of their idols.
It is very simple and even naive, but also very direct, which can make people clearly feel the sincerity of this group of people.
This is why so many young people want to be idols. This feeling of being loved and pampered by countless people is really good, Nie Wei thought.
Each fan of the support items is 100 copies, no matter how many fans of this artist are present, it is exactly 100 copies, the reason is very realistic, it is not the lack of treatment that is worrying, but the inequality.
Fan groups will compare treatments and attach great importance to this.
In fact, most of the quarrels between fans online are due to the treatment issues. They think their idols are treated unfairly, so they will quarrel with the agency. If they think that someone in the group is not as strong as their idols, but has better resources than their idols, they will also quarrel with the agency, and at the same time quarrel with the fans of the idols' teammates.
This is why fans of only one idol are loved and hated.
They love to support only one idol. In order to support her, they can do data all night, or eat white rice with pickles for a month. They save money to help their idols hit more places on the music charts.
Many of them even pay without asking for anything in return. They will be happy for a long time just by watching the idols' data grow and the good results they have achieved.
But they are also hateful. Many fans of only one idol often overdo it when defending their idols, and they will do whatever it takes to attack their opponents. Looking at the quarrels of various fans, it is really like a collection of various blockbusters, such as Infernal Affairs, Dark Flower, and Gunfire...
Compared with fans of only one idol, group fans are much more peaceful.
Just like the little girl in front of him, Nie Wei asked her who she liked, and she said the names of Xuanyi, Meiqi and Xiaojing. Nie Wei asked her, Xiaojing has fewer fans, can I give you Xiaojing's support items?
The little girl glanced at Nie Wei and nodded shyly, indicating that she could.
Group fans are so easy to talk to, because they love many people, so they are more tolerant. Their fighting power may not be as strong as that of the only fans, but at least they are gentle and will not create wars within the group.
This is also the main reason why Nie Wei immediately arranged a group EP for HELLOGILRS after signing them.
It is to help them increase some group fans as soon as possible.
The company will then create a group variety show for them. This series of means is for one purpose, that is, to increase group fans.
After all, group fans are the foundation of a group and a necessary condition for the healthy development of the group. More group fans can not only suppress the fights between the only fans, but also enhance the image of the idol group.
The reason why Girls' Generation experienced a black sea was that when they first debuted, there were too many fans of the group, which offended many rivals and ruined the group's popularity.
But after the black sea, the group experienced a low point, and the fans of the group finally united together due to external pressure, which led to the later miracle of Girls' Generation.
Of course, group fans are not without weaknesses. The integrity of the members is crucial to group fans, so when there are changes in the group members, it is often the time when a large number of group fans leave.
Later, Girls' Generation's popularity dropped sharply due to the departure of a certain member, which is also due to this reason.
So Nie Wei is now actively negotiating the contract issues of some members, striving to keep them in the group, which is good for both HELLLOGILRS and them personally.
After all, the brokerage companies behind these girls are not as good as Fanxing. Fanxing can provide them with many high-end resources, which are things that their brokerage companies cannot do. Staying in Fanxing and returning to their original brokerage companies have completely different prospects for development.
Being in Fanxing means walking on a smooth road, with a smooth path, while returning to the original company is like walking on the Shu Road, which is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Nie Wei really despises these entertainment companies. What do they have?
At most, they cultivate idols, introduce them to some variety shows, and produce a few barely acceptable music. Even then, they still have to rely on the popularity of the idols themselves to fight for resources.
For these girls, with their current popularity, such an agency has become a burden to them. Not only will it not help them improve, but it will also drag down their careers and suck their blood.
But it is different in Fanxing. Fanxing can make them regular guests of first-line variety shows, and can also allow them to enter top crews to play important roles. They can even invite big producers in the industry to create albums specifically for them, and invite excellent creators to create songs for them.
And these are resources that their original agencies cannot provide.
As for feelings and loyalty, how much are they worth in the face of reality? This is a business deal. Where is the loyalty? How much favor have you given to these girls to make them loyal in the face of interests?
After all, they are not stupid, and this separation may make a world of difference.
The signing event was very popular, but it also brought a problem. The originally scheduled one-hour time was not enough. After all, fans came to the scene in person and waited for a long time. As an idol, they naturally had to give some special treatment.
Like handshakes, writing a short paragraph of blessings and chatting for a few words are all fine.
There is a need for communication between idols and fans. Occasionally, idols can give back to fans, which can also promote fans' loyalty.
And the mall obviously didn't want HELLOGILRS to leave like this. After all, the popularity of the scene is one aspect. If HELLOGIRLS leaves now, it will not be good for the image of the mall itself if the remaining nearly a thousand people make trouble.
After a brief discussion between the two sides, it was decided to extend the signing event for another half an hour.
As a result, the girls still had dinner in the car, but this time they changed to high-end sushi and fast food at noon, so the girls were very happy.
Seeing their happy look, even Nie Wei was affected, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
There was one last trip left that day, but this time it was no longer a group trip, but a small team trip for Xuanyi, Meiqi and Yang Xiaoli.
The minibus first sent the three girls to the radio station, and Nie Wei got off with the three girls.
Nie Wei could see that the other girls who did not go back were more or less sad. After all, the artist's schedule indirectly reflects the market value of the artist. Especially for girls of this age, they would rather be busy than idle, because that would make them feel insecure.
This was also Nie Wei's last trip today.
The three girls took Nie Wei and others to the radio live broadcast room. The radio station was naturally very surprised about Nie Wei and the Infinite Challenge program team, and enthusiastically invited Nie Wei to be a special guest, but Nie Wei refused.
He was just here to be an assistant, not to steal the limelight.
This radio station belongs to Kyoto TV. Since the new leader of Kyoto TV took office in 2010, the style of this TV station has undergone a major change, and it has begun to become more inclined to the young people's market.
In the past ten years of development, Kyoto TV has gradually gotten rid of the shadow of Huaxia TV and has its own characteristics.
Fanxing Group has always been the goal of Kyoto TV. As the largest entertainment company in Huaxia, its headquarters is located in Kyoto. In the eyes of Kyoto TV, Fanxing Group is a thigh worth hugging.
Unfortunately, Fanxing Group is not too interested in Kyoto TV. After all, this TV station cannot compare with Mingzhu TV in terms of manpower, material resources or financial resources. If there is no major problem in the cooperation between Fanxing and Mingzhu TV, it will naturally not lean towards Kyoto TV.
Of course, there is cooperation. After all, no one is the only one these days. For this innovative TV station, Fanxing Group headed by Nie Wei is quite optimistic, especially in recent years, the cooperation between the two sides has increased day by day.
For example, this time when HELLOGILRS's new album was premiered on the radio, Fanxing Group chose Kyoto TV.
The girls entered the live broadcast room to prepare for work, and Nie Wei took advantage of the time when the Infinite Challenge program crew was filming the girls to call Xu Ling aside.
Xu Ling was a little nervous because she knew she made a mistake today.
The issue with the model in the studio at that time seemed to have nothing to do with her, but in fact, Xu Ling made obvious mistakes in handling the problem.
Especially after Uncle Cai knelt down, she did nothing to deal with it. When Xu Ling reflected on herself afterwards, she realized how dangerous the situation was at that time, and how serious her inaction was.
"Mr. Nie, I was wrong about what happened today." Without Nie Wei saying anything, Xu Ling took the initiative to admit her mistake.
She was even grateful to Nie Wei for not scolding her directly in front of the children, saving her some face.
"When you entered the industry, your predecessors should have taught you about the relationship between agents and artists?"
"Yes."
"Tell me how much you remember."
Xu Ling organized her words and said, "There are three relationships between agents and artists. The first relationship is called a service relationship, which means that all our work should be ahead of the artists. As agents, we have already thought of all the possibilities without the artists asking."
"The second relationship between artists and agents is a partnership."
"We should not only take good care of artists in life and work, but more importantly, create value-added space together."
"The last relationship between artists and agents is an emotional relationship."
"Because this job requires a long time of contact with each other, it is easy to develop feelings. We face various things together, share joy together, and bear loss together. We must tolerate each other, understand each other, encourage each other, and make progress together."
Nie Wei listened silently and said, "As an agent, you remember these principles more clearly than me, but remembering is one thing, and you have to do it. I will fine you one month's bonus for what happened today. Do you have any objections?"
"No, thank you, Boss." Xu Ling was really relieved when she heard this punishment.
Nie Wei was just giving Xu Ling a small punishment for a big warning.
The incident did not cause serious consequences, so Nie Wei just wanted Xu Ling to remember the lesson this time. There was no need to lose her face or severely punish her for something that did not happen.
After all, Xu Ling was leading the HELLO GILRS, a group of twenty-year-olds. If she lost her dignity, how could she discipline these girls?
So this punishment was just a reminder for Xu Ling.
The radio recording lasted about an hour. In the middle, the producer of the program group tried to invite Nie Wei once again, but was still rejected by Nie Wei.
When the program was finally coming to an end, Nie Wei, who was standing outside the window and observing secretly, asked Xu Ling beside him: "Have you arranged everything?"
"It has been arranged. The other children are waiting in the hotel." Xu Ling replied.
Originally, after accompanying the three girls to record this radio program, Nie Wei could go off work. As for the interviews in the later stage of the program, it would be better to do it another day.
However, thinking about the process of getting along with the girls that day, Nie Wei felt that it was a bit hasty to say goodbye like this, so he decided to treat all of them to a meal.
Xu Ling found that Nie Wei was very considerate. When booking the hotel, Nie Wei specifically asked the girls what they liked to eat.
This is a very small detail, but it is this detail that makes Xu Ling feel from the bottom of her heart that Nie Wei is a good man, regardless of Nie Wei's identity.
The answer Nie Wei got from Xu Ling was not complicated at all, just delicious food is fine.
So the restaurant Nie Wei booked was also very real. It was not a fine private restaurant, nor a high-end hotel, but a seafood city, where he ordered a lot of abalone, lobster and king crab.
When the girls saw that the high-end ingredients that they usually only bought occasionally to taste were now served on the table like cabbage, they all cheered excitedly.
Seeing the happy faces of these girls, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing.
It was really a simple and beautiful age, because a little bit of delicious food would make them so happy, and they were especially easy to satisfy.
"Protect them well, let them focus on their careers, and don't let other unnecessary affairs affect them." Nie Wei whispered to Xu Ling beside him.
Xu Ling nodded gently and agreed: "Don't worry, President Nie, I will protect them well, because there are stars behind me."
Nie Wei accepted Xu Ling's compliment with a smile.
While eating happily, Yang Xiaoli suddenly remembered something and asked Nie Wei: "Brother Nie Wei, have you thought of the punishment for the bet we made this morning?"
As soon as Yang Xiaoli said this, everyone else looked at Yang Xiaoli in horror. Zhou Duoduo, who was sitting next to Yang Xiaoli, wanted to cover her mouth with her hand, but Yang Xiaoli still finished speaking.
Nie Wei was stunned.
If Yang Xiaoli hadn't reminded him at this time, he really wouldn't have remembered the punishment.
