Chapter 1517 1619. Souvenirs
Looking at the crying and laughing fans outside the window, Nie Wei suddenly felt that the feelings of this group were really pure. As long as they were connected to their idols, sadness was so simple and happiness was so simple.
After Nie Wei arrived at the stadium, she was invited backstage by her manager.
Standing at the door, Nie Wei did not walk in immediately, but gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in." When the first knock on the door rang, Yang Xiaoli, who was sitting at the door, had not yet reacted. When the second knock on the door rang, Yang Xiaoli said casually.
When she saw that the person who opened the door was Nie Wei, she was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, her feelings doubled.
Yang Xiaoli may seem carefree, but in fact she has a very delicate mind. After all, she has been working since she was sixteen or seventeen years old. The social training has allowed her to passively learn the good ability of observing words and expressions. Nie Wei's actions just now are a big plus in her heart. kind of.
If they were ordinary leaders, they would never knock on the door of their subordinates' offices, because in their hearts they feel that these subordinates are one level lower than them, and the concept of respect is virtually erased from their minds.
What's more, Nie Wei only came in with her permission after knocking on the door, which was also polite to girls of the opposite sex like them.
This kind of politeness will invisibly draw a distance between the two parties, but it will not make people feel alienated. On the contrary, it will give people a very fulfilling sense of security even if they are not particularly familiar.
And what girls need most is a sense of security.
Nie Wei didn't know that the girl at the door had thought so much in that moment. He was specially invited by the manager, so he was not prepared. Seeing the girls looking at him, Nie Wei smiled and encouraged: "The director said everything is ready The lighting engineer and sound engineer also told me that I will give you the best light and the best sound in the world, and the stage designer also promised that I will give you the most gorgeous stage.”
"So you can feel confident and show your best self on stage."
"By the way, I also prepared a small gift for each of you, as a souvenir." Nie Wei waved to the assistant on the side, who understood and handed the handbag in his hand to Nie Wei.
"Meiqi, this is yours."
"Yang Xiaoli, this is yours."
"Little rainbow..."
Every time Nie Wei took out a box, he read a person's name, and then handed the gift box to them with his own hands.
"Can I open it?" Xuan Yi took the box and was particularly curious about what was inside, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Nie Wei smiled.
Hearing this, the girl who had received the gift before couldn't wait to open the box. When she removed the packaging and saw a jewelry box that looked like it, Yang Xiaoli couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, it couldn't be a diamond ring. "
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Nie Wei couldn't help complaining that he was too arrogant to give diamond rings to eleven girls. If this spread, his reputation would be ruined.
The other girls were also amused by Yang Xiaoli's words, and judging from the size of the box, it didn't look like a diamond ring box.
"This is a watch." Xuan Yi hadn't opened the box yet, but looking at the logo on the gift box, she instantly guessed what was inside and looked at Nie Wei in surprise.
Nie Wei smiled and nodded.
Compared with famous watch brands such as Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, and Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet is still relatively unknown among the general public in China.
But anyone who plays watches knows that this brand is actually no worse than the previous three.
As Switzerland's top watchmaking brand, an important reason why its brand cannot be popularized is its output. Each Audemars Piguet watch requires several months of work by a professional watchmaker to complete, which also determines the product production capacity of this brand. Some, and with such a huge investment in the product itself, it is natural that the product can only be positioned for top users.
The watch that Nie Wei gave to the girls was the Audemars Piguet classic series Royal Oak Offshore women's watch. The case is made of stainless steel and is set with diamonds. The dial is surrounded by thirty-two diamonds, with a total weight of about 1.02 carats.
The price of each watch is 220,000 yuan, which seems expensive, but in fact it is a basic price among watches of this brand.
And when you think about this group of girls making six or seven million for the company in less than half an hour, these watches together only cost more than two million, so they are nothing.
"This has our signatures on it!" Yang Xiaoli suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Where is it?" Lai Xiaoqi quickly approached and asked, holding his watch.
"It's right here, on the back cover." Yang Xiaoli pointed to the signature on the back cover and looked at Nie Wei movedly: "Brother, you must have put too much thought into this gift."
Everyone heard what Yang Xiaoli said, and at this moment they were all flipping through the back covers of their watches, and sure enough they found their signatures on it.
The value of the gift had just been quietly popularized by Xuan Yi, but compared to the seemingly expensive price, the girls were actually more moved by the thoughtfulness.
Of course, if you were to give something to a street stall or something like that, even if it had a girl’s name written all over it, you would probably get a look of disgust.
Of course, except for those who are handsome, there is a high chance that they can do whatever they want.
"Brother, put it on for me." At this moment, Zhou Duoduo handed the watch to Nie Wei and said coquettishly.
Nie Wei took the watch with a smile and helped Zhou Duoduo put it on. This made the girls beside her extremely envious. After all, Zhou Duoduo was the younger sister and could only ask for this.
Nie Wei didn't wear it for long in the lounge. After giving the gifts, he left. After all, the girls were about to go on stage. What they needed most at this time was a comfortable environment to keep them in a good mood. Nie Wei's presence would undoubtedly make the girls nervous.
And today, Nie Wei was not the only star who came to the scene. Many artists who had time in Kyoto came to support the scene.
The girls of HELLOGIRLS have met many people in the circle in the past two years, most of whom are variety show hosts. After all, they often participate in some interview programs or reality shows, and unknowingly made a lot of artist friends in the variety show circle.
The second is friends in the film and television industry. Filming is the easiest way to get along with each other. Many girls in HELLOGIRLS have been involved in the film and television industry, and naturally met some friends during the filming process.
There are also colleagues. Everyone is in the idol circle. They see each other every day. They meet more often and naturally get to know each other.
Moreover, the idols are of similar ages. In addition, they are in the same circle, so they have more common topics.
The least known is probably the music industry. On the one hand, these professional singers in the music industry don't really look down on idol artists, and on the other hand, the two sides are actually competitors.
This is very strange. Although idols are competitors, because of the special nature of the idol industry in China and the vast market, there is not so much gunpowder between them. However, in the traditional record industry, there is a lot of hostility towards idol singers.
Because idol singers broke their traditions and disrupted their market.
Originally, the sales of singers' records mainly depended on the quality of the album itself. Everyone ranked based on the quality of the songs, and fame was just an addition. But when it comes to idols, the situation is completely reversed.
Fans don't care whether the idols' songs are good or bad, as long as they are sung by idols, they are good to them.
If the songs are really good, they should praise them to the sky. For ordinary songs, they should praise the idols for their good singing skills. As for some bad songs, they should simply praise the idols for their handsome looks.
The fan filter makes them not care about the quality of songs at all, and they are also irrational when buying albums. Normal people buy digital albums, one copy is definitely enough, but fans are different, they buy ten or hundreds of copies.
This also caused many albums with excellent quality to not get good results on the sales charts, thus losing a relatively good publicity channel, but the albums of idol artists with mediocre quality are hanging high on the charts, breaking a bunch of records.
Seeing those mediocre songs surpass their own carefully produced songs, anyone would feel unconvinced.
To use an old saying, the achievements of idols are somewhat "unworthy of their positions", and those who are narrow-minded will inevitably be jealous.
Dozens of stars sit in a row, which represents the girls' connections in the entertainment industry.
There will also be a comparison in this process, because many stars still hold banners or towels for support in their hands. Fans will definitely compare with each other after the concert. One says that many stars have taken our idol's banners, and the other says that our big name has taken our banners.
Generally, fans will go to the social accounts of these stars to express their gratitude at this time.
Big-name artists don't care about this popularity, but for second- and third-tier artists or some outdated artists, this is a good opportunity to promote themselves. This is why more and more stars are willing to cooperate with idols in the past two years. After all, the popularity of traffic idols is really not covered. Just posting a message will get tens of thousands of comments. Many first-tier stars can't do this.
The concert started on time. The lights and smoke of fans covered the stage. Eleven girls slowly rose from the lift to the stage. The scene also rang with screams and shouts as the girls made their stunning appearances.
Pink is the support color of HELLOGIRLS, but it is not the only support color, because each member has his own unique support color, such as Yang Xiaoli's support color is light purple, Xiao Caihong is golden yellow, Xuanyi is light blue...
Because of the support color, the fans of these idols have also fought a lot.
After all, many idols like the same or similar colors, which often causes dissatisfaction with the idols. Because of the support color, these fans have fought a lot in the past two years, and even became a hot search several times.
In Nie Wei's opinion, it's not that these fans are bored, but that they want to get what their idol wants most from the bottom of their hearts.
It can be said that during the period when fans love an idol, the word that runs through it is "fighting".
From small things like fighting for seats in the team, fighting for cheering colors, fighting for styles, etc., to big things like fighting for endorsements, fighting for rankings, fighting for film and television music and other resources.
Some fans even want to fight for rest time for their idols and try to interfere with the work of the agency.
These fans are like soldiers, fighting for their idols all the time. Enthusiasm is their health bar. When the enthusiasm is exhausted, the soldier in the team will disappear.
Enthusiasm cannot be maintained for a lifetime, so this is also the main reason why idols can't wait to think about changing careers at the peak of their popularity, and they themselves are also very clear about this.
The concert is still going on.
Compared with those professional singers, even the few vocalists who are recognized as having good singing skills, in fact, in the entire music circle, their voices are not that amazing. At least in Nie Wei's opinion, the strength of these girls is still quite immature, and there is still a clear gap compared with those singers who are recognized as having good singing skills in the music circle.
The same is true for dancing.
This is why every time I see an idol selection program, a bunch of people are advocating that someone's strength is good, why can't he get on, who's strength is not good, why can he be selected, and so on.
In Nie Wei's opinion, using strength to measure idols is a joke in itself.
The standard for measuring idols should be special. If you really want to rely on strength, you should participate in the Youth Song Competition or KOD, which only competes with professionals, or participate in China Good Voice or This is Street Dance.
Such programs really look at strength.
As for idol selection, strength is indeed an important part of idols, but it is only a part. In Nie Wei's opinion, the standard for selecting idols should be not obliterated by the crowd, and being able to stand out from the crowd. This is the most important standard for becoming an idol.
There is no shortage of girls with pretty faces or good figures in the idol circle, and there is no shortage of girls with strength, but there is a shortage of girls who can make people shine.
After all, strength can be acquired through training, and even if it is not good enough, you can still get by. On the contrary, the characteristics of shining eyes cannot be learned.
The girls' strength is mediocre, but fortunately they are cute enough and good at creating an atmosphere. Suddenly a wink can make the fans at the scene scream for a long time.
But as time passed, the concert gradually entered the second half.
Especially when the girls were speaking about the disbandment on the stage, the crying of the fans at the scene was so loud that it could be heard from the stands to the vicinity of the stage.
Just like laughing is contagious, crying is also contagious.
When the fans cried, the idols on the stage couldn't help crying. When the idols cried, the fans in the audience cried even more fiercely.
Nie Wei even saw several female stars not far away with wet eyes, wiping their tears with tissues. As for whether they were really moved or just riding on the popularity, Nie Wei was not sure.
Nie Wei couldn't just sit there and watch indifferently. After all, her own sister was standing on the stage, also shedding tears with her companions.
