Chapter 113
"My bias isn't from the domestic entertainment industry... I don't know if it's possible. Are there any leeks who can answer this?"
Comments section:
"...It's a new idea. Why didn't I think of printing my bias myself?"
"It probably won't work. sjyl is very strict about copyright."
"My bias can wait, let me print ten or eight copies of my own selfies first!"
"Can we really print mochi cards? I've been craving this card for so long. If I can't have my bias's card, I might as well have one of myself!"
"sjyl wrote the rules in their announcement. You can exchange print attempts by buying peripheral small cards or participating in promotional mini-games, but you can't print celebrity images."
"The theme is narcissus, right? I guess they want fans to pay more attention to themselves."
"Fifteen hours until the doors open... The wait is agonizing. Have you all decided what photos to print?"
"You can tell the female group's planners want to attract female fans. They haven't cared about male creatures from start to finish."
Event planning had always been Jiang Juyou's forte, so she was responsible for the promotion and activities of the female trainees. She came up with ideas, and her subordinates implemented them.
The theme of this exhibition was self-love, inspired by those trainees who possessed a charm completely different from the previous batch. Their confident, self-loving allure attracted countless viewers to stop for them.
The pop-up store shared the same theme, focusing more on the fans rather than promoting the trainees.
Among fan circles, girls make up a large proportion. As girls, they can't resist beautiful and lovely things. They always dress up prettily when going to fan events, so they surely wouldn't be able to resist a pop-up store with this theme.
On the day of the exhibition, things went exactly as Jiang Juyou had predicted. Just the queue outside was a feast for the eyes, and judging from their outfits, there were even many girls who weren't from fan circles.
Each of them was dressed up from head to toe, with even their hair strands exuding refinement.
"Oh! It smells so nice!" Jiang Liuxing sniffed around in the queue like a little dog. She was surrounded by beautiful girls, some of whom had sprayed perfume. Standing outside, the fragrance would scatter with the wind.
The weather was getting warmer, and the blue sky above had turned into a perfect mode for an outing. The clouds looked as if they had been pinched into various shapes, and just looking at them improved one's mood.
The queue outside the venue had already stretched to the main entrance of the Galaxy peripheral building. In the past, people would have become impatient with such a long queue, but today, for some reason, the good mood hadn't been ruined.
On-site staff members were holding megaphones, and a few were pulling small carts, distributing chairs to the girls in the queue.
"Hello everyone, today's event will admit people in batches. The waiting time might be long, so if any customers get tired of standing, please raise your hand, and we'll provide chairs for you."
As soon as the staff members finished speaking, the girls in Jiang Liuxing's area all raised their hands obediently like elementary school students, waiting for the teacher to distribute chairs.
They were considered early arrivals, having gotten there an hour before the exhibition started, but the queue had already stretched out onto the street. In the past, if Jiang Liuxing encountered such a long queue, she would definitely have been the first to turn around and leave. But this event was just too tempting, and with so many people here today, the crowd would only grow larger after today's news spread.
After queuing for another hour, it was finally their turn to enter.
Just crossing the square, climbing the steps, and entering the main doors of the venue felt like entering a different world—
"Wow—"
The few dozen people who entered in this batch exclaimed in amazement as if they had never seen anything like it before.
Dry ice machines had been added at the entrance, with white mist spreading across the ground. It felt like entering an otherworldly paradise. Once inside, everywhere they looked was pink, from elegant and cute flesh pink to intoxicating magenta.
They hadn't taken two steps before Jiang Liuxing heard the continuous sound of phone camera shutters behind her.
The staff member leading them in quickly introduced: "The center of the exhibition area is perfect for taking photos and checking in. There are also makeup stations for touch-ups, and we've invited professional idol makeup artists. We even have stage-appropriate costumes available, so you can experience what it's like to sing and dance on stage as a female idol. If you're interested, please check with the staff at the service desk."
"If you want to print your own small cards, you can do so according to the rules in the handbook. The points you earn can be exchanged for self-print attempts."
"Those small rooms over there are stages. If you have dance talent, you can go try it out. That's the game area where you can film your own exclusive dance direct cam. If you dance to a stage produced by Random Entertainment, you have a chance to win a large number of points!"
The staff sister said a few words, and they responded with several "wows." Every activity on-site precisely hit the excitement points of girls.
Jiang Liuxing flipped through the small booklet she had been given and found the idol experience she was interested in earlier. Then she looked and said, "Damn— It costs over 5,000 to experience."
Zhou Keke gasped when she heard this, while Liu Yue raised her eyebrows in pleasant surprise, "That's so cheap?"
"This is cheap?" Jiang Liuxing stared at her.
Liu Yue folded her arms and looked down at the booklet, "In Korea, just makeup and hair would cost two or three thousand, not to mention costumes. Five thousand yuan is considered cheap."
Seeing the envious expressions on these two, Liu Yue chuckled, "Come on, big sister will treat you two."
"This doesn't seem right..." Jiang Liuxing pretended to be coy.
Zhou Keke also said, "It's too expensive, no need."
"I'm not doing it for free. You two give me the points you exchange with the five thousand yuan. I want to print small cards," Liu Yue said as she opened her phone's camera to check her makeup.
After the event started, the term [sjyl] became a hot topic on various social media platforms, especially in those entertainment circle groups on small forums. It felt like the entire internet had turned pink today, with images from the event site filling Douyin.
Random Entertainment was called a marketing powerhouse, but every time its marketing results were very positive. This term might be derogatory for others, but for Random Entertainment, it was a "false accusation."
"It is I! Who insist on searching for Random Concubine's name! It is I! Who insist on letting them hold events! It is still I! Who insist on watching! If you must blame someone! Blame me!"
"Speechless, when someone gets full marks every exam, you don't praise them but praise yourself?"
"If all circles could cut leeks with some sincerity like Random Entertainment, how could they fail to cut me?"
"How is it a marketing powerhouse? Would they push it to you if you didn't search for it every day? If you're not interested, just swipe past. Why come in looking for a scolding?"
"They make waves because their events are well-organized and praised to the point of trending. I don't even want to say anything about some people's marketing, it's just self-indulgence."
"Goodbye @my bias's company. By the time you read this letter, I will have married into the old Random family. But don't worry, I'll still come to see my sons and daughters often. The reason for remarrying is simple: they hold me in the palm of their hand. Here, there are 580 yuan front-row concert tickets, 50 yuan small cards that can be sold for 100, makeup that won't hit my eyes, and operational planning I don't have to worry about. Everything is good here, don't miss me."
The jokers online took Random Entertainment's event planning strategy everywhere to compare and criticize. Those fans who were criticized were so frustrated that they wanted to drag out their bias's company boss and make him kneel in front of Random Entertainment to see.
This was just based on knowing the on-site layout. When the details of the on-site activities were leaked, the girls who couldn't go to the site today all turned into sour lemons.
"Why has my world turned red? Oh! It's my red-eye disease acting up again!"
"Ahhhhh why are the other venues only officially opening tomorrow?!"
"I'm seriously going to storm Random Entertainment, no joke, just you wait."
"We can experience idol makeup and styling!!!! No kidding, beauty bloggers will be swarming the place tomorrow!"
"Not just that, if you spend over 10,000, you can get a 3D printed figurine of your idol (of yourself)"
"You have no idea how crazy it is here, I'm almost dying of happiness inside. If it weren't for the time limit, I wouldn't want to leave today!"
Meanwhile, three people who had just experienced idol makeup and styling were now wandering around the exhibition hall in performance outfits, looking for photo opportunities from various angles.
Two of them, wearing shorts and a skirt, were climbing up and down without caring about how ungraceful they looked, holding up their phones to take photos of Zhou Keke. Zhou Keke, who was usually somewhat introverted and socially anxious, was now having her first real photoshoot of her life, guided by two professional fansites.
Aliali: 67358287d72ede934945062f"Um... could you please take a photo for me?"
Liu Yue had just put away her phone when she felt someone tap her shoulder from behind. She turned around and suddenly realized this person looked familiar.
"Hmm—" She tilted her head.
Jiang Liuxing also looked over, and as soon as their eyes met, both of them exclaimed, "Oh!"
"The one from the rookie list!" Jiang Liuxing said to Liu Yue.
Ling Cheng, meanwhile, was looking at Jiang Liuxing, swallowing the words she was about to say. She was still holding her phone, having snuck out during her lunch break to take a few photos before leaving. But since she came alone, she had no one to help her take a full-body shot, so she had to ask for help.
"You want a photo, right? Give it to me!" Jiang Liuxing reached out her hand.
"Ah! Thank you!" Ling Cheng exclaimed happily!
The fan club squad was finally complete.
Two lucky fans, one whale fan, and one NPC.
