I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 154: Cantonese songs are popular, Koi Thumb Puff is officially launched, and its ability to bring goods is questioned

Li Xunfang didn't expect that Lian Baozhi would dare to retort her, and she secretly remembered her.

Qiu Qiwen glanced at Lian Baozhi. After all, she had been a mentor on the same variety show before, but she and Lian Baozhi did not have a good relationship.

In my impression, Lian Baozhi always targeted Jinli, but why did she start to target Li Xunfang at this time?

Another first-line female star came over. This star had a hit costume drama this year and is currently very popular.

Li Xunfang smiled and said a few words to her, and the female star responded indifferently.

It’s not that I don’t want to talk to her, but I’m a little slow to warm up and not very enthusiastic towards people I don’t know well.

Marchday's appearance on the red carpet caused a commotion among reporters, and the noise of them being asked to take pictures was comparable to that of fans chasing after their idol.

When Li Xunfang heard this, she couldn't help but say enviously, "Marchday is still so popular, even after so many years."

After she finished speaking, no female star responded to her, which made her feel a little embarrassed, so she simply shut up and stopped talking.

The on-site director controlled the camera, scanning every area and adding shots of the stars.

The stars in other areas were all talking and laughing, but the star in Li Xuanfang's area didn't communicate at all and was very silent.

Naturally, there are fewer shots of their area.

After March sat down, Chen Lin looked around, trying to find someone he knew.

Gu Cheng's voice came: "Don't look at it, none of the pink girls participated in this event."

Chen Lin's eyes widened: "How did you know?"

Gu Cheng waved his phone and said, "I asked directly in the group."

Chen Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "I forgot that I could ask in the group, but don't you think it's not good to ask them in public whether they participated in this event?"

Gu Cheng did not comment: "Xiao Lin, only those who have never participated in it will think that this kind of activity is important.

But the sisters are tired of participating in these activities, so they don’t care. When the Pink Girls were in their heyday, they ran as many announcements as we did. "

Yan Xingdong agreed and said, “Yes, no matter how popular we are, we can’t break out of Asia.

But Pink Girls burst out at that time and were almost named the "No. 1 Asian group". What kind of activities have they not participated in?"

To put it bluntly, the sisters are more pragmatic.

Rather than engaging in formalism and supporting brands for free, they would prefer to gain actual benefits.

Ru Meng Ling made this event very popular, but did not pay any announcement fees to the stars.

Celebrities come here because they want to make friends with the brands and take some beautiful red carpet photos.

Nowadays, many award ceremonies, XX nights and dinners held by major video platforms are attended by freeloading celebrities.

Although this kind of ceremony doesn't cost money, celebrities can't help but attend.

For example, for the annual awards ceremony, celebrities who don’t have any works shortlisted cannot go even if they want to.

As for other kinds of scream nights, if you don't go, netizens will think that you are not high enough and that is why you were not invited.

Unless the celebrity is well-known enough, even if you don’t participate, netizens will not think you are unqualified.

For example, in this event, all the sisters of Pink Girls did not come, but netizens certainly did not think that they were not qualified, they just thought that they did not want to come.

Chen Lin figured out the relationship and sighed again: "I'm not as open-minded as them. When will I be able to get to this point?"

Luo Yi saw through his inner thoughts: "If you could get to where they are, you would definitely retire and not stay in the entertainment industry."

Yan Xingdong said with a smile: "Get ready, I see the camera is coming."

The other people immediately straightened their expressions, appearing gentle, polite and approachable.

With the emergence of waves of screams, it seemed as if the hot summer had begun. All the stars joined the wave of scrambling for exposure, frequently contributing beautiful pictures to Ru Meng Ling's activities, and becoming one of the hot searches after another.

Summer in the eyes of others: crystal clear ice, wind chimes, streams, lemonade, fireworks, sunsets, and unbridled rain.

And the summer in Jinli's eyes: observing, doing exercises, reading scripts, continuing to observe, doing exercises, reading scripts, the damn sun.

The day before the song list of "I'm a Singer" was released, Sui Lingfang called Jinli, hoping to get help from her.

Sui Lingfang was very helpless in her words: "I don't understand why she doesn't sing classic love songs to expand her advantage, but is very stubborn and wants to sing in Cantonese.

She told me that the Cantonese market is huge and that many Cantonese songs were popular in the last century, but the market is different now.

The decline of Cantonese is inevitable. Didn’t you see that there hasn’t been a single Cantonese hit this year? ”

Jinli comforted her and said, "Sister Fang, maybe Mengmeng wants to cooperate with the program team. If she sings classic Mandarin love songs, she will have too much advantage.

In just two games, she has defeated all the veteran superstars. It's embarrassing for others!"

Sui Lingfang was speechless: "But the program team asked her to avoid love songs."

Jinli immediately responded: "But it is impossible to avoid it. If you don't play to your strengths, aren't you just waiting to be scolded?
So Mengmeng still has to sing love songs, but she can also sing some niche love songs. "

Sui Lingfang said helplessly: "I finally understand that you are on Xi Mengze's side and are helping her to convince me.

In my opinion, since the program team dares to do a live broadcast, it is impossible for the votes to be manipulated too much. There is absolutely no problem for Xi Mengze to sing her love song as usual.

Why should we listen to the program team? They are the ones who arranged the live competition, so it is difficult for them to fish in troubled waters. "

Jinli couldn't help but laugh. Sister Fang was probably just saying this in anger.

According to the past popularity of "I'm a Singer", even if Xi Mengze does not cooperate with them, they will find other singers to cooperate.

It seems that there is little room for maneuver in live streaming, but it is not completely impossible.

For example, some singers’ performances are almost the same and they can all make it into the top three. Then if the third becomes the first, and the first becomes the third, the audience won’t be able to tell the difference.

After all, the strength is too close, and they are on par with each other, so the voting depends on luck.

Jinli said: "After all, this is the requirement of the program team, so we just cooperate. If we offend them, there will be no good consequences.

In addition, the third round of competition will be held the day after tomorrow, and everyone’s attention will be on the singers who top the charts. If we don’t make some changes, we may not be able to grab traffic from them. Singing Cantonese songs is a good entry point.”

Sui Lingfang was silent for a while, then gave in: "Okay, I can't compete with her anyway, you can send her a message and tell her to stop being an ostrich and reply to my message quickly, I have several more endorsements to connect with her."

Jinli couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sui Lingfang snorted: "Don't laugh at me, I'm investigating and looking for your endorsement. There are two light luxury brands with good reputations, and I'm talking to them.

When you are filming "Dream Builders", maybe you should take some time to shoot a few commercials."

Jinli immediately said: "No problem, just follow the signed contract."

Her contract didn't mention that she had to take time off to shoot commercials, but it did mention that she had to record "Leisure Slow Life" every weekend. Now that "Leisure Slow Life" has stopped airing, she can use the weekends to do something else. Of course, if there is nothing to do, she won't go out of her way to run announcements.

Jinli reminded her: "Except for the more urgent endorsements that need to be handled, please don't help me take other notices, and I won't participate in brand event notices."

Sui Lingfang responded: “No problem, just focus on finishing the filming of Dream Builders and ignore the outside world.

You can play the leading female role in your first movie. Your starting point is much higher than other artists."

She didn't ask Jinli to act well, for fear of putting too much pressure on her.

Even though she is an outsider, she knows that movies and TV series are different.

Jinli can act well in TV dramas, but not necessarily in movies. Sui Lingfang thought, just treat it as an experience to increase your experience in making movies.

She didn't expect Jinli to gain any benefit from this film.

Time flies fast, and with the tinkling of wind chimes and the hot sales of chilled watermelons, it is August in the blink of an eye.

Jinli finished her observation in the Physical Village and officially joined the crew to film.

A lot happened in July.

The second half of the third episode of "Leisurely Slow Life" was released. Netizens saw the adapted stage performance by Marchday, Jinli, and Qi Guan Mingzhu, and finally knew the final result.

Marchday's stage performance slightly surpassed Jinli and her partner's, and this episode was on several hot searches.

Netizens have all lamented that anyone who can become a top star, even if they were a top star in the past, must have some skills.

Marchday worked non-stop for more than a dozen events, and Chen Lin was so tired that he fainted on the spot.

As the captain, Yan Xingdong stood up and apologized to the fans for failing to manage the sleep of the group members.

Xi Mengze sang two Cantonese songs consecutively in the third and fourth episodes of "I'm a Singer", which made him famous overnight and set off a trend of retro Cantonese songs.

International chart-topping singer Adam became an internet sensation with the song "My Lucky Husband", and Xi Mengze is another artist who can compete with him.

The song "Silly Girl" makes people hate, love and be obsessed with her.

The song "Rascal" makes people feel bitter, painful and sad.

With her performance of "Rascal" in the fourth episode, she took first place directly, crushing a group of veteran superstars and allowing the entire network to once again see her strength as a singer.

Chenxi Entertainment struck while the iron was hot and officially announced three endorsements for Xi Mengze within seven days, all of which were popular second-tier fast-moving consumer goods brands.

Industry analysts believe that if Xi Mengze continues on this momentum, as long as he does not make any mistakes in August, he will probably become the most popular artist of the month and win a quarterly contract with a first-tier brand.

This is really something I can’t envy.

If an artist is the hottest artist of the moment, first-tier brands will extend an olive branch to him/her.

The reason why Xi Mengze can take on so many endorsements is because he is so popular.

At the same time, artists such as Li Xuanfang, Lian Baozhi, and Qiu Qiwen also made efforts to break away from the influence of past public opinion and appeared very actively in July.

And what is Jinli doing at this time?

After not showing up for nearly a month, she finally posted an advertisement on her blog.

The Koi Thumb Powder Puff designed by Jinli is officially launched!
Jinli: [I tried it for a month and gave it to other people. They all felt it was well made. The tail part can handle difficult details such as the nose, and it can also be used for koi graffiti makeup. It just costs a lot of materials hhh]
After she posted this blog, she also took a photo. There was a shiny little koi at the end of her eye, which was pressed out with a thumb puff.

Fans rushed into Jinli's blog and were first shocked by her beautiful pictures. Her pores were very small, she was almost bare-faced, and the pictures were taken in high definition!
[My skin is so good, where are those people who sell facial masks? Go find her quickly!]
[The Koi eyeshadow is so cute! ]
[Is this the thumb powder puff? When I was a cosplayer, I really liked the small powder puff. There are actually two sizes of it.]
This business blog did not become a hot topic, and Domi Cosmetics did not intend to buy popularity, but wanted to see Jinli's ability to bring goods.

They have pre-produced 10 Koi powder puffs, as there are two specifications, sponge version and suede version, with a stock of 5 each.

After Jinli posted this blog post, Domi Cosmetics also launched the thumb puff simultaneously and put a front-page introduction in the flagship store.

In the first hour, sales growth was very slow, with only a dozen or so shipped.

This made Mr. Nan a little nervous. Wouldn’t this sales volume be too bad?

Normally, when they launch new products, the sales volume is not this high. Is it because they don’t organize any promotions and 10 yuan per piece is too expensive?

They have done market research on powder puffs. The better ones cost dozens of yuan, while the ordinary ones cost three or four yuan.

But because this is a small powder puff and does not use as much material as the large powder puff, Domi Cosmetics positions it as a high-end product, so the price is 10 yuan.

As an affordable cosmetics brand, this price is actually a bit risky. Some people inside wanted to set it lower, but President Nan refused.

When some employees saw the sales volume, they couldn't help but murmur: "I've never seen such poor sales volume for a new product!"

Another employee said: "Because what is launched online is makeup tools, not makeup, many people are not interested."

"But Jinli posted a blog, doesn't she have a lot of fans?"

"Having a good reputation doesn't mean fans are willing to pay her."

"Is this a pounce?"

"With this kind of sales data, won't the warehouse be stuffed?"

……

"Boss Nan, what should we do? It's been online for an hour, and only a thousand pieces have been sold!"

In the office, the director in charge of online sales came to General Manager Nan to complain.

"I said that the operations department is unreliable and won't arrange promotion and hot searches. We must rely on Jinli's ability to bring goods.

Now, with this kind of sales data, the whole industry knows that we are exaggerating, it is too bleak!"

President Nan hesitated and said, "Actually, judging by the sales of new products we release every time, selling a thousand units an hour is already pretty good."

The director said, "But our new products are all cosmetics that cost tens or hundreds of yuan! This powder puff is only 10 yuan, and the cost is 3 yuan. The best profit is 7 yuan. Once the sales volume is low, the profit will be low."

Calculated based on cost, the profit of Koi Thumb Puff is actually very high, but the key is that the pricing is very cheap.

Even if you earn all of it, you will only make 7 yuan.

Compared to other cosmetics launched, which have a profit of at least 30 or 40 yuan, this amount of profit is just a drop in the bucket.

President Nan said with a headache: "It's only been an hour. Let's wait and see and collect the data for the day."

The director hurriedly said, "If sales are not good, please don't blame me, President Nan. I really tried my best to do promotion and marketing. If you want to blame someone, blame the operations department."

·
After the online sales manager left, President Nan opened Jinli's blog again and suddenly found a problem.

In the past, Jinli’s blog posts would quickly reach 999+ comments.

But this time, after an hour, there were only 300 comments. Perhaps it’s because the promotion was not seen by fans?
President Nan looked at the date. Today was a working day and it was noon, so he decided to wait and see the sales data in the evening.

Ask for monthly tickets, dears~
