Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Nishimiya Ayako never imagined that one day she would be so popular.

That was after she bought 20 copies of the album. When she looked back, she saw a lot of surprised and envious faces. Some girls even had surprise in their eyes.

Then Nishimiya Ayako was surrounded by those girls.

Of course, these girls were not greedy for money. They were actually the administrators of Alan's fan club. They surrounded Nishimiya Ayako in the hope of getting her to join Alan's fan club.

"Big sister, please join us. You will definitely become our good partner."

"That's right. Our fan club will also organize many activities. Not only will there be Alan's autograph, but also posters, peripherals and various rewards. Sometimes you can even meet Alan in person."

"We have many like-minded friends. The fan club will update a lot of new news about Miss Alan every day."

In the eyes of these girls, generous fans like Nishimiya Ayako are the goals that must be fought for.

As a singer's fan club, it is necessary to undertake many tasks to support the singer, the most important of which is to help the singer boost sales in the first few days before the album is released, so as to help the singer to be on the major music charts.

This is especially important for idol singers.

Take the AKB group as an example. The resources that their members can obtain are basically determined by the fans' purchase of the album and the votes in it.

As for ordinary idols, the songs they release are basically able to rush to the major charts with the efforts of fans. The performance is basically determined by whether the fans' wallets are full or not.

There are pros and cons to doing this.

Of course, most of the benefits are obtained by the agency, which is the main way for the company to make money. A small part is returned to the idol and becomes his salary, of course, including a series of expenses.

As for the disadvantages, the efforts of fans are basically giving money to the agency.

Just like a male idol singer who has set a record, his song has obviously broken many records on the music chart. Logically speaking, this kind of song should at least be sung in the streets and alleys, but in fact, most of the people who have heard this song are just his fans.

Because other people are not interested in the songs of this idol singer, only his fans are interested.

This has something to do with the quality of the songs and the positioning of the agency. When the agency creates an album for the singer, many agencies actually position the album to satisfy the fans, so the songs are often secondary. The main thing is to shoot MVs, to show the beauty and handsomeness of the idol, as dazzling as possible.

Because this is the only way to attract fans to buy.

And the fans pay money and get satisfaction, and the agency can also make a profit, and how many albums can be sold is also the key for the agency to determine the value of an idol.

In fact, a queen-level singer like Alan is already very good. Her number of fans may not be as many as those super popular idols, but her fame is higher. Many people may not be very interested in Alan as a singer, but they will also be interested in her songs.

In addition, the quality of Alan's albums in recent years has been good, so those who don't like chasing stars and simply like music will also buy Alan's albums to listen to.

Of course, this does not prevent her fan club from wanting to support the idol.

Naturally, fans like Nishimiya Ayako who are generous with their money are the main targets they want to attract. Internet hot spots can rely on everyone's efforts, but things like this that impact album sales actually mostly rely on wealthy fans to come forward.

This is like a host who earns one million yuan a month, of which 900,000 may be contributed by those local tycoon fans, but the number of these local tycoon fans generally does not exceed 5% of the total number of her fans.

Terrible fan economy.

Nishimiya Ayako handed over all her contact information, and the girls got the contact information and completely treated Nishimiya Ayako as their own. One of them even took the initiative to ask Nishimiya Ayako if she wanted to be the administrator of the fan club.

For a queen-level fan club like Alan, even if the company does not manage it carefully, there are tens of thousands of active users every day. Naturally, one administrator is definitely not enough. In fact, Alan's fan club currently has nearly 200 administrators in total, and at least 20 are online at the same time every day, responsible for content review of fan forum posts and other issues.

Ayako Nishimiya looked very mature, and they thought she would be a good manager.

Unfortunately, Ayako Nishimiya had no interest in this and declined their invitation, which the girls expressed regret for.

"Sister Ayako, I have a car, let me take you home." A girl who had already bought the album heard that Ayako Nishimiya and the others were going to take a taxi home, and immediately took the initiative to step forward and said.

"No need to bother." Ayako Nishimiya wanted to refuse, but the girl pulled her towards the parking lot without saying a word. Sakurai, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

The girl did have a car, a Toyota Prius, which showed that the girl's family was well off. In fact, she had just bought ten sets of limited editions.

On the way to send Ayako Nishimiya home, the girl kept instilling Alan's goodness into Ayako Nishimiya and Sakurai.

"I really didn't follow stars before. Whether they were local stars or foreign stars, I had no interest in them. Until I met Alan."

"I was first attracted by her voice, which was as ethereal as an angel. During that time, I suffered from mild depression, but after I heard Alan's singing, I felt like my soul had been purified."

"I started trying to get to know this girl, and then I realized that she was a singer from China. Her struggle, her hard work, and her talent all began to fascinate me. Of course, what I like most is her Kindness and kindness.”

"No matter how busy she is, she will take some time to come to the support club every week to chat with us. This is not the condescending reply of other idols. It is like a friend. We can tell her our worries and she will do the same. She patiently answered our questions like a big sister.”

"Of course, she will occasionally make secrets, joke with fans, and even play pranks. Every April 1st, she will register an account and post a post in the fan club. If anyone can find her first, Then she will help the fan fulfill a wish. This is already a reserved project of our fan club. Sister Caizi, you missed April Fool’s Day this year, but you can participate next year, it is guaranteed to be fun.”

Caiko could see that when the girl named Onodera Sakura said these things, her happiness came from the bottom of her heart.

She was also very pleased. She felt that Alan must be very happy to have such fans. She hoped that Alan could continue to be happy like this.

If Saiko is like an elder, analyzing the content of Onodera Sakura's words completely from the perspective of an observer, then Sakurai on the side is completely involved in the fans, echoing Onodera Sakura's words excitedly.

Fortunately, she still retained her sense and did not tell anyone about her acquaintance with Alan.

"By the way, Sister Alan will often take us to do charity activities. I know you must have thought of asking our fans to donate money, right?" Onodera Sakura looked at Ayako and Sakurai, as if she had seen through their thoughts.

In fact, she didn't see through anything. Ayako and Sakurai didn't react at all from her words.

However, this does not prevent Onodera Sakura from being proud, because her idol is different from those who she thinks are "stinky fish and rotten shrimp". Her idol is unique and worthy of her constant praise.

With a proud smile, Onodera Sakura began to explain the reason to Ayako and Sakurai.

"Haha, this is indeed what many artist fans do. They pay money to gain a good reputation for their artists, but the artists themselves actually don't pay any love at all. This is why I have never been a star-chasing person before. I always I think they are too hypocritical. Sorry, I got a little off topic.”

"The reason why I say Sister Alan is different is because the charity she does with us does not require donations, or it is not just donations. We will take one day every month to do charity in person, and Sister Alan will do the same. If you need to donate, we will discuss it together and determine the amount of donation. Sister Alan will bear half of the cost every time."

"She never encouraged us to raise large sums of money for charity like advertisements. She taught us that everything must be done in moderation and not to exceed what we can bear. Appropriate support is the greatest support for her. "

"I know she is doing this for our own good, but we still want to do our best to help and support Sister Alan, Sister Caiko, Sakurai, are you right?"

Sakurai immediately nodded in agreement: "Love for idols must be given without reservation."

This statement immediately got the absolute approval of Onodera Sakura. She felt that she liked this little girl Sakurai a little bit. Although she was young, she loved Sister Alan very passionately and was a very qualified fan.

"I think what Alan said is right. Everything must be done within your ability. I think she doesn't want to see you over-consume in order to support her, thus affecting your own life. For Alan, this kind of support has the opposite effect." It’s a harm.”

Onodera Sakura choked at these words, but did not refute. She knew that what Ayako said was exactly what Alan meant, but it was contrary to what she hoped.

But looking at Ayako's gentle and concerned eyes, Onodera Sakura really couldn't say anything to refute. She also knew that a woman of Nishimiya Ayako's age would not be easily persuaded to get excited.

"Take your time." Onodera Sakura felt like she had a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Because of the close distance, Onodera Sakura sent Nishimiya Ayako to her doorstep in less than ten minutes. Looking at the exquisite single-family villa, Onodera Sakura completely understood why this sister Ayako could spend 100,000 days without changing her expression. Yuan bought those albums.

Her family background is very good, and the key is financial freedom. Onodera Sakura quickly analyzed Nishimiya Ayako's situation, and then waved goodbye to Ayako with a bright smile.

In fact, Ayako could see through all of Sakura Onodera's little thoughts.

No matter how much a child hides his thoughts, they will be exposed in the eyes of adults. This is caused by age and experience.

However, Nishimiya Ayako didn't feel any resistance, otherwise she wouldn't have left her phone number and Internet account. She wanted to integrate into this group and get to know Alan better.

After withdrawing her thoughts, Nishimiya Ayako found that Sakurai beside her had opened the album package.

"Auntie, the album cover is a cute lamb, and it's wearing a crown." Sakurai saw Nishimiya Ayako looking over, and immediately showed her the album in his hand and shared what he liked.

"It's really cute." Nishimiya Ayako commented with a smile.

Unlike the previous singers, the cover is not made with their own carefully designed looks. This time, the cover of Alan's new album is actually a lamb stepping on clouds.

"Eh? It's wrong?" Sakurai fiddled with the album for a while, and suddenly found a problem, which also attracted the attention of Nishimiya Ayako.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the quality of the album?" Ayako asked.

This situation is rare, but it is not uncommon. No matter how strictly the quality is controlled, there will always be mistakes, just like the factory never fills in the pass rate as 100%, that is purely fooling people.

Ayako thought that she and Sakurai were "lucky" to buy defective products, but Sakurai quickly denied it.

"It's not the quality of the album, it's the song list. Why is "She Used to Live" not the main song?" Sakurai asked in confusion while handing the song list to Nishimiya Ayako.

The main song of the album is usually the first song on the song list, which is also an unwritten rule in the industry.

Of course, some singers may shuffle the order when releasing an album, but generally regular companies will fill in the song list according to this rule, and Alan's company is naturally a regular record company. In the past few albums, the main songs have never been shuffled.

What puzzled Sakurai even more was that she thought "She Used to Live" would be the first main song, but in the song list, this song was only ranked third.

Why did the two songs above have the song "She Used to Live"?

Nishimiya took the playlist and said she didn't understand it, so Sakurai quickly explained the reason to her. After listening to it, Nishimiya didn't care as much as Sakurai did, and said with a smile: "We'll know after we listen to it, right?"

"That's right, we'll know after we listen to it." Sakurai immediately clapped his hands, found the remote control, and turned on the TV and stereo at Nishimiya's house.

"Wait a minute." Nishimiya Ayako looked at Sakurai and wanted to put her CD into the stereo, and immediately stopped him.

Under Sakurai's puzzled eyes, Nishimiya Ayako pointed to the limited edition albums on the table and said expectantly: "We play limited edition albums, don't they say there are MVs in them?"
