If last year's competition only boosted Li Mengjiao's popularity in school, at the end of April the 2005 second Super Girl auditions were officially launched, and overwhelming publicity followed.
Dairy brand advertisements and promotional songs shot by Li Mengjiao frequently hit the screen, and it was only in the provincial key that she truly received the treatment of a "big star".
The students don’t understand who is a celebrity or not. They only know that when they go home and turn on the TV, they can always see advertisements for Li Mengjiao. She is definitely a big star!
TV advertising was only one of the channels for publicity, and the 30 million promotional fee was incredibly powerful. Soon everyone discovered that the advertising columns at the bus stops had been replaced with advertising posters of Li Mengjiao at some point.
"Sour and sweet is me!"
In advertisements and posters, a girl with twin ponytails says this line endlessly, and her brainwashing ability is comparable to that of melatonin.
Brands and drinks are popular, and Li Mengjiao is also extremely popular!
Many commercial actors sent invitations to Li Mengjiao, wanting her to perform the advertising song live. All Li Mengjiao could do was cooperate with Hunan Satellite TV's competition promotion and Mr. Liu's schedule, and she reluctantly refused all other invitations.
Yuan Fenghui takes a long-term view and does not regret the income from those commercial performances.
When Li Mengjiao was highly exposed and popular, Mr. Guan did something that slapped him in the face.
He had previously removed Li Mengjiao's albums from the shelves. Now that Li Mengjiao's popularity is soaring, if those albums piled in the warehouse are not sold at the opportunity, are they really going to be left to grow moldy?
Mr. Guan removed Li Mengjiao's album from the shelves to make Li Mengjiao give in.
Later, I couldn't save my face, and in order to flatter Xu Mei, I really bit the bullet and downloaded Li Mengjiao's album.
This is Mr. Guan’s “ban” on Li Mengjiao!
Li Mengjiao won the endorsement and was tied to the dairy brand and this year's Super Girl draft. The manager's blocking seems particularly ridiculous. Should we continue to block it? It can't be blocked at all!
So he slapped himself in the face and put Li Mengjiao's album on the shelves again.
Previously, music critics scolded Li Mengjiao's first album as useless, and now they are again paying people to "overturn the verdict" on Li Mengjiao's album.
The manager's cunning operation confuses the consumers.
The public's memory is not so forgetful, and they vaguely remember that a few months ago, there was news all over the Internet criticizing Li Mengjiao's first album for being terrible, and Li Mengjiao disappeared immediately.
It has only been a few months. Not only has Li Mengjiao returned to the public eye, but has the evaluation of her first album been completely different?
In 2005, some consumers were no longer as easy to be deceived as in previous years. There were doubts on the Internet and the music critics paid by Mr. Guan to dissent. Mr. Guan also paid for the trolls to get rid of them. There was a quarrel between the pros and cons.
It's impossible to communicate.
Everything attracts attention only when there is controversy. The doubts of sober people will make the album sell better. After all, if you want to criticize the album as bad, you must first buy the album and listen to it.
Li Mengjiao suddenly gained so much momentum. Of course, the happiest thing is her loyal fans who have liked her since the competition!
They almost thought Li Mengjiao had withdrawn from the circle, but they didn't expect Zaizai to be so upbeat and kill such a beautiful retaliate!
——My favorite little cutie is so awesome!
Fans cheered and encouraged Li Mengjiao everywhere, trying to consolidate Li Mengjiao's popularity.
Both advertisements and promotional songs are very suitable for Li Mengjiao. More and more new fans are joining the camp of old fans. Several major competition areas have launched auditions one after another. There are contestants who imitate Li Mengjiao's dress in advertisements every day, including knee socks and plaid skirts.
It sold out of stock, and the twin ponytail suddenly became the most popular hairstyle this year.
Of course, in the fans' minds, Li Mengjiao is the most suitable for the same clothes and hairstyle.
They are not as good as Li Mengjiao, they imitate subconsciously in order to get closer to Li Mengjiao.
Li Mengjiao found out that her album could be found in the video store again, and scolded Mr. Guan for being shameless.
"Teacher Yuan, are we just going to watch him make money?"
Shi Guan always gets things done faster than anyone else, and now that he has found out that it is profitable, he shamelessly re-releases the album, which makes Li Mengjiao very angry.
Yuan Fenghui's eyes sparkled, "Would I take advantage of him so much?"
Yuan Fenghui committed suicide and went to Hunan Province alone.
When he came back, he got a new contract for Li Mengjiao.
Yuan Fenghui asked Mr. Guan to modify the album sharing ratio!
The new album sharing ratio, not to mention compared with big-name singers, is at least much better than Xu Mei's.
Mr. Guan wants to take advantage of Li Mengjiao’s current popularity, so he must pay the price!
Thinking of Guan Zong's heartache, Li Mengjiao turned from anger to joy: "That's about the same. Even if the money you get is donated, it's better than leaving it to those people like Guan Zong!"
Li Mengjiao said it casually, but Yuan Fenghui took it seriously.
With Li Mengjiao's current momentum, her first album is back on sale, and the final sales volume will definitely be very good.
This money was indeed obtained for free. According to the original sharing agreement, no matter how much he earned, Li Mengjiao would only get a small part.
This was the compromise Li Mengjiao made by not signing a long-term contract.
Everyone should be responsible for their own choices.
Now that the manager is managing the losses and Li Mengjiao is gaining momentum, the manager pinches his nose and gives in.
No matter how confident Yuan Fenghui is, she has been in the industry for many years. She knows that no star can always be at the top. No matter how popular the superstar is, there will be career troughs. Just like the global superstar MJ, isn't he also plagued by sexual assault scandals all the year round?
There is a huge difference between Li Mengjiao and MJ.
MJ had his career trough, and Li Mengjiao's stardom was also inevitably ups and downs.
In fact, there is no need to worry when you are at the top of your career, because it can bring benefits to others, and people in the circle can tolerate no matter how big the fault is. Just like the manager who is arrogant but respectful, he affirmed Yuan Fenghui's request to modify the share ratio.
I hated it so much that I had to agree to Yuan Fenghui's request.
But when Li Mengjiao is a little tired in her career, villains like Mr. Guan will definitely jump out and trample on Li Mengjiao to avenge today!
What Yuan Fenghui can do is to eliminate hidden dangers virtually.
Life is not a movie. Yuan Fenghui cannot hire a killer to assassinate Mr. Guan to avoid future troubles, but she can make Mr. Guan jump up and down like a funny clown.
Thinking of this, Yuan Fenghui asked Li Mengjiao: "If I really donate the proceeds from your first album, will you be willing to do it?"
Li Mengjiao was stunned.
Teacher Yuan's mind jumps so fast that most people can't keep up.
But it’s money you picked up for nothing, so just donate it.
Li Mengjiao didn't have a specific idea at this time. She didn't know how much money she could get after Yuan Fenghui renegotiated the album sharing ratio. This album was released before Li Mengjiao signed with Tianjiao Film and Television. Naturally, the income does not need to be divided with Tianjiao, but at most.
Part of it goes to Yuan Fenghui, and the remaining proceeds belong to Li Mengjiao personally.
That would be a very big benefit.
Li Mengjiao was confused and Yuan Fenghui laughed: "It's okay if you don't want to, but I have to discuss this matter with your parents."
"Can I tell Wen Ying?"
"...You can tell her if you want."
——Wen Ying, Wen Ying, is Wen Ying your mother or your father?!
Yuan Fenghui rolled her eyes at Li Mengjiao and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
As long as the general direction is good, Yuan Fenghui will not waste time arguing with Li Mengjiao now. Li Mengjiao will drag her into "silly thinking" and then use her rich experience to defeat Yuan Fenghui.
