Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!

Chapter 37, Chu Yourong's Crisis

The two went to the ridiculously expensive Japanese restaurant they had visited before.

Well, this store, apart from being expensive, doesn't really have any downsides.

The environment is nice, and the food is delicious.

This time, Chu Yourong treated everyone to a meal, and Zhang Xian didn't stand on ceremony. The two of them spent over two thousand yuan on the meal.

After Zhang Xian finished eating, Chu Yourong got down to business: "Decent will officially launch in three days. Have you seen the trailer?"

"Yeah, I saw it."

"I might announce the breakup after this song is released, but it depends on the public reaction."

"I don't understand these things, you handle it yourself, just don't expose me."

Zhang Xian just wants to live a quiet, carefree life.

They're all people with established systems, so there's no need for them to show their faces in public to make money. But Zhang Xian still values ​​the release of "Decent" quite a bit, because the success of this song determines how much money he can earn.

So far, Chu Yourong, the second-best support player, hasn't earned him a single penny!
What kind of assistant is someone who can't help make money?
at the same time.

Banyan Tree Entertainment.

Several senior executives are having a meeting.

"Chu Yourong's new song is being released in three days. Should we try to sabotage it?"

"I think we must stop them, otherwise they'll think we, Rongshu Entertainment, are pushovers!"

"Yeah, we need to teach her a lesson. We need to let her know that without Banyan Tree Entertainment, she's nothing!"

Everyone agreed.

"Director Du, do you have any specific plans?"

President Yu Kai looked at Du Yue, the Operations Director, who was sitting on his left.

With the development of the times, the internal structure of entertainment companies has changed considerably compared to earlier years.

Previously, entertainment companies valued content the most, because only by creating good content could they support their artists and generate revenue for the company.

But things are different now. As long as the content is decent and the marketing is good, you can still make a lot of money.

Therefore, the operations department's status in entertainment companies has risen accordingly.

"It's simple to stop Chu Yourong: just postpone the release of Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren's new songs for three days from now!"

"Anyway, both of their new songs have finished post-production and were originally scheduled to be released this month, but they've been moved up a few days."

Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren are both artists under Rongshu Entertainment and members of "Moonlight Girls," and were Chu Yourong's former teammates.

After the group Moonlight Girls became popular, the company allowed the members to "go solo." However, this solo career was not a true solo career; rather, it involved assigning different work content based on each person's style and strengths. The advantage of this was that it could help the company earn more money.

Moonlight Girls has seven members. If they always take on events as a group, their appearance fees won't be much higher, no matter how high they are.

However, if there are seven artists, even if each individual's appearance fee is not as high as the whole group's, the combined appearance fees of the seven artists will be much higher than the whole group's.

They can also take on different jobs and do different tasks!
Therefore, after Moonlight Girls became popular for a year, they rarely worked together anymore, and everyone went their separate ways.

Of the seven members, four are still deeply involved in the music industry: Chu Yourong, Sun Jiaren, and Xu Yao are three of them.

Sun Jiaren's style is somewhat similar to Chu Yourong's, and their fan bases also overlap significantly. Xu Yao is a vocal powerhouse and is the main vocalist of the group!

"Tell me your specific thoughts."

Yu Kai tapped the conference table lightly with his fingers.

“Sun Jiaren and Chu Yourong have similar styles, and this single is also a sweet girl track. Chu Yourong just announced that she’s getting married, so it’s a good opportunity to do some marketing, create some buzz, and attract all her fans!”

"Xu Yao goes without saying, her talent speaks for itself. She'll bring a professional, overwhelming rhythm, and while we're at it, let's also criticize Chu Yourong's rubbish singing!" "With the two of them attacking at the same time, a two-pronged approach, Chu Yourong's new song will only be a joke!"

Du Yue briefly explained her thinking. In her view as an experienced "operations manager," this battle was bound to be won, and there was no possibility of failure!
Her confidence stemmed from her deep understanding of Chu Yourong, a case of "knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated."

Chu Yourong, this enemy, was practically transparent to her; she could easily manipulate him.

"it is good!"

"Just do as you say!"

"This time we must achieve a resounding victory, and show the other artists in the company who have ulterior motives what happens when they leave Rongshu Entertainment and oppose us!"

Yu Kai looked very serious.

"Mr. Yu, you can rest assured!"

We'll see soon enough!

Du Yue was full of confidence.

Soon after, Sun Jiaren and Xu Yao updated their Weibo accounts, announcing that they would release a new song in three days.

"What? Three days later? I remember Chu Yourong is also releasing a new song in three days!"

"Three days again, why is it always three days after the song is released? Is it some kind of auspicious day?"

"Why are the members of Moonlight Girls fighting amongst themselves? And all three of them are releasing songs on the same day!"

"Chu Yourong has already left the group. It's obvious that her former employer is targeting her!"

"What's so targeted about this? What, are you saying only Chu Yourong is allowed to release new songs, but others aren't?"

"Poor Nai Rong! Her new song is going up against Sister Yao, she's going to be crushed!"

"."

The news that Chu Yourong would release a new song three days later had already been released and was no longer news, but Sun Jiaren and Xu Yao also suddenly announced that they would release new songs on the same day, which immediately sparked discussion among netizens.

Following the announcement of Sun Jiaren and Xu Yao's new song release, Du Yue's marketing team also joined the fray.

"Sister Yao is awesome! She's personally taking action to clean up the house!"

"Chu Yourong is getting married soon, she'll be a married woman soon, but our Jiarenxiang is still the best!"

"I used to be torn between Sun Jiaren and Chu Yourong, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore. Married women, get out of the idol circle!"

"The traitor released a new song so quickly; it was definitely premeditated!"

"Moonlight fans, please remember, the team now consists of six people. Resist the traitors!"

"."

Du Yue has a mature operations team and collaborates with various entertainment influencers and online marketing teams. She only needs to give a direction, and her subordinates just need to follow her instructions.

Her actions did indeed have a good effect. After all, people with independent thinking ability are still a minority. Many people have a herd mentality; if others criticize, they will criticize; if others praise, they will praise.

Therefore, under the guidance of online trolls, the comment section of Chu Yourong's Weibo post announcing the upcoming release of her new song was immediately flooded with criticisms. Seven or eight out of ten comments were negative, and some entertainment bloggers on Douyin were also engaging in commentary that praised one while criticizing the other.

It seemed like only a moment ago, Chu Yourong's reputation collapsed, and she suddenly became a "traitor" that everyone wanted to kill.

Seeing the great success of this marketing campaign, Du Yue, who was staring at the computer screen in the office, was smug and even thought about asking President Yu Kai for credit.

However, she overlooked one thing: originally, the news that Chu Yourong would release a new song in three days did not attract much attention, but now it is almost common knowledge, and the topic of #ChuYourongNewSong# has even become a trending topic.

In other words, while enduring criticism, Chu Yourong also gained a massive influx of attention.

Whether this traffic can be converted into positive feedback depends on the performance of the new song after its release!
