This place was originally an abandoned factory. After SNH48 rented it, they built three floors and turned it into a living center - a dormitory for little idols.
The conditions can be imagined.
Some rooms have no windows, the walls are moldy, the ceilings are leaking, and the area is small. Two people live in a room, and there is basically no room for anything except two beds, a table, and a wardrobe.
Don't feel bad, Korean girl groups are even worse. Some live in basements with tin foil on the windows. It's good to be famous and you can change to a spacious apartment. If they are not popular enough, they will be disbanded.
Early this morning, the little idols who are used to staying up late and having a disrupted schedule got up to clean and tidy up their rooms.
This is required by the company.
Just yesterday, the company held a meeting for them and announced an important news: 99 Entertainment invested in SNH48 and became the largest shareholder, and will fully cooperate in the future.
99 helped them create an APP called Pocket 48.
Little idols and fans can see the latest information, performance schedules, live broadcasts, interactions, etc.
Liu Weiwei initially hoped that all of them would go to Midou for live broadcasting. Wang Zijie was quite aware of this. If they all went to Midou, she would be left out, and she would rather not invest than agree.
Later, each took a step back and broadcast live on Pocket 48, but the live broadcast platform was shared with MiDou.
To put it simply: the little idol broadcasts live on Pocket and can also see it on MiDou. When netizens click on it, the title will display "So and so from MiDou".
This made the girls very excited and hugged their thighs.
They come from all over the country, some from very wealthy families, some from ordinary families, but they came to this group because they lacked channels to enter the entertainment industry.
At this moment, in the dance room of the Life Center.
The top four in this year's general election, Zhao Jiamin, Ju Jingyi, Li Yitong, and Huang Tingting, are practicing "Seaweed Dance". Yes, it's "Seaweed Dance" again.
Yao Yuan wants this bad song to become popular all over the Internet in the shortest possible time...
"Okay, it's almost done!"
The teacher clapped his hands and said, "We will shoot together later and the material will be uploaded to MiDou."
"But Mi Dou isn't online yet?"
"Nonsense, of course I know, I mean upload it online!
Remember, you will regularly shoot short videos in the future, or let fans cut videos. MiDou will be a good platform for attracting traffic. Your live broadcast will also be shared, and a large number of netizens will flock to your live broadcast room. Can you stay?
It depends on your ability to live there."
This word is a bit like keeping a benefactor.
In fact, the nature is the same. What do idols rely on to make a living? They rely on fans to make a living. Without fans, they are nothing.
Just as he was talking, someone suddenly came running up: "Mr. Liu is downstairs!"
"Hurry up, keep dancing!"
"Pretend to work hard!"
The teacher quickly directed the four people to continue dancing with seaweed and seaweed...
at the same time.
A car parked downstairs of the Life Center. As soon as the door opened, Liu Weiwei got out. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she complained: "Your place is quite remote. Baoshan is already remote enough. I didn't expect the dormitory to be even more remote."
"Every inch of land in Shanghai is precious, and we have to feed and feed more than 100 people. There is nothing we can do."
It was difficult for Wang Zijie to enter the girls' dormitory, so he was accompanied by a female vice president. She led Liu Weiwei upstairs. She was actually very embarrassed because there was really no way to look at this miserable place, but she insisted on coming to inspect.
Sure enough, Liu Weiwei looked disgusted.
I was even shocked when I saw a windowless room. The lights had to be on in broad daylight, otherwise it would be pitch black. Not to mention the moldy walls.
However, each room has its own bathroom and air conditioning, which is okay.
"Is your accommodation a little too bad?"
"Your family has a big business and is used to being rich. Don't mind if I tell the truth..."
The female vice president said: "They join the group to become stars, we join the girl group to make money and profit. It is the relationship between the company and its employees.
Those with good qualifications may become popular in the future, and we will be rewarded.
Those with poor qualifications may not even have many fans, so don’t we have to support them? It’s like a wage earner who has food and accommodation in Shanghai, a monthly salary, and opportunities to perform. This kind of accommodation is already great.
Got it!"
"Well, that makes sense!"
Liu Weiwei nodded and said: "When you have no money, there is nothing wrong with you. If you don't improve the salary of employees when you have money, it will be unreasonable."
"No way, we are just starting out, and we will definitely change to a more comfortable dormitory in the future!"
The female vice president smiled.
I visited a large circle and saw more than a hundred girls. They were all amateurs. Some of them couldn't even put on makeup and looked at themselves timidly in their pajamas.
This feels really different from the formal entertainment industry.
They are different from art school students. Art school students have a unique temperament that can be recognized at a glance.
Finally, when we arrived at the dance studio, Ju Jingyi and the others were still dancing. Liu Weiwei looked at them for a while without saying anything, and then went to the cafeteria on the first floor.
It’s not a meal, there’s no one there, so we just sit down and talk.
Mi Dou is planning a program, tentatively called "National Beautiful Girl", which will select featured members from SNH48 and create a live broadcast variety show.
Find a few celebrities to serve as "mentors" and train these girls in singing, dancing, hosting, etc. to show the "most authentic" life state.
Then perform, PK, eliminate...
Later, Tencent launched a "Produce 101". The traffic overlord at that time was based on this set of processes, and eventually formed a "Rocket Girls", including Meng Meiqi, Wu Xuanyi, Yang Chaoyue and others...
Yang Chaoyue, who is good at singing, dancing and acting, is the most popular.
She is good-looking, has a strong sense of variety, has quick reactions, and has a rare gimmick: the koi girl!
Once upon a time, people on the Internet were all worshiping Yang Chaoyue and forwarding that famous picture, hoping to gain some koi physique. This was probably one of the most awesome marketing cases in the entertainment industry.
"Produce 101" is selected from girl groups across the country, and "National Beauty" is a low-end version that can only be played in SNH48. If the effect is good, then expand the scope and the real Produce Camp will come.
This was naturally Yao Yuan's idea. He wanted to seize this mode first to avoid being snatched away.
"We don't do those traditional talent shows. Our selling points are young, amateur, and well-educated. The first season is just a test, and the scale is not too big. You select 36 people to participate in the show."
"The basic model is to set up an academy for beautiful girls. We have Fei Yuqing as the dean. The teachers include Wang Sulong, Zhou Shen, etc., all of whom are young people."
"The whole process will be broadcast on Midou. This is our support plan..."
Liu Weiwei came up with a plan and the other party turned over it.
Hiss!
The female vice president took a sip of Hangzhou delicacies: Lanzhou ramen, braised chicken, Northeastern dumplings, Shaxian snacks, Chongqing noodles bala bala...
Although people say it is a small test, it is already a huge resource support for SNH48. My goodness, isn’t the era of girl groups coming?
(besides……
It actually has a thousand chapters, none of the previous books have reached a thousand chapters)
