It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 304 A Promising Market

"The premiere data of "Longing for Life" has come out, and the first broadcast ratings of 2.13 have already exploded. Now the station is already preparing for the second season of filming, and it is estimated that filming will start again in the new year. The increase will not decrease, let’s look at the edge of the eye when the time comes.”

"Xiao Xu, this is the third episode. You have to wait until next week. If you have time then, remember to watch it and contribute a little ratings to yourself. I still have some news to tell you."

Xu Lai listened carefully to what Teacher He was saying, kept nodding his head and said yes, he didn't say much, and wanted to hear the so-called inside news from Teacher He again.

"Teacher He, tell me."

"Xiao Xu, haven't you set up your own personal studio now? If you have enough funds now, you can vote for the second season of "Longing for Life." Teacher He said.

"Huh?" Xu Lai was stunned by the thunder, and was dumbfounded, "Do I still need to invest in the second season?"

The premiere of the first season has already exploded, and Xu Lai is still needed to invest?Shouldn't this be investors waving money to find program groups to invest in?Now should be the time for the program group to select investors, instead of looking for Xu Lai, the new little boss, right?

"It wasn't necessary at first, but if you have the funds, I can give you a little share. After all, the first season was so good, you put in so much effort, and this time the publicity has taken you and Xiaolu into account." It’s cheap. Teacher Huang and I both invested money in it, and now you are the only one missing. You should be interested, right?” Teacher He laughed.

Is this more than just an interest?This is simply coming to sleepy to send a pillow, okay?Xu Lai is still having a headache here. Apart from his own work, the studio has no other income. Then at this time, Mr. He came to deliver good news to Xu Lai.

However, the coincidence of the good thing is quite puzzling. Xu Lai still wanted to clarify the matter, so he continued to ask: "Is there such a good thing?"

He couldn't help but have a little hometown accent.

"Of course there is such a good thing! But there are also requirements. You still have to be a regular guest in the second season, you know? After the Chinese New Year next year, you have to spare time. I know you are busy opening a new studio, but there are It’s better to give up and gain something.”

"Is that all?" Xu Lai felt a little more at ease, but still wanted to see if there was any other explanation.

"It would be even better if you could write a theme song for "Longing for Life". Of course, the price should still be based on your market price."

"Mr. He, I feel relieved when you say that." Xu Lai smiled and joked at Teacher He.

"Hey, do you still think I'll cheat you? What about the trust between people? I'm going to be sad when you say that." Teacher He pretended to be angry.

"Mr. He, I can definitely trust your character, but I just think my luck is a little bit good, so I can't believe it." Xu Lai smiled and said haha, trying to get away with it.

"I know, I know, you are also a small boss now, and all the people in the studio have to be taken care of by you, so you are right to be cautious." Teacher He expressed his understanding and told Xu Lai, "I know you are young People are more relaxed now, but sometimes you have to be more cautious, you know? There are a lot of people cheating money in the circle, so be careful and don't talk about it."

"I see." Xu Lai smiled and thanked Mr. He for his concern, but this is not over yet. As a variety artist, Mr. He has a very keen sense of variety shows. Although others are in the mainland, they have already paid attention to the other side of the coast. up.

"Do you know that "Product 101" is being previewed in South Korea?" Teacher He suddenly mentioned this unknown variety show in South Korea that is currently being filmed and will soon release a promotional video to be broadcast.

"I've been busy with the studio and the contract recently, so I haven't paid attention to these... What's wrong with Mr. He?" Xu Lai was confused when he heard Mr. He's words.

"This show is a talent show. Although there is no difference in the operation process of the talent show in mainland China, the type of the show is far from the talent show we have now. We choose singers, and others choose singers. Girl group idol."

"Look at our mainland now. Most of them are looking for singers. There are really very few idols. This part of the market is huge, but there are very few people in the mainland now. Now there are only a few Xiaolu and the others who are carrying it, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV is already filming a talent show called "Burning Boys", so according to this trend, there will be more and more talent shows like this in mainland China."

"And Xiao Xu, your trainee resources in South Korea should be very good. I said, do you want to try to train a few excellent trainees? Then they may not debut in South Korea. You can send them back to the mainland. , maybe the development will be much better than in South Korea."

As Teacher He said, the information exposed by these few paragraphs of analysis for Xu Lai is not one or two points.

The first is that the idol market in mainland China has been developed by Lu Han and the others, but the successors have not seen the shadow. The idol market in mainland China is still very large. Now it is too late to train trainees to make their debut on talent shows in mainland China. Take a share.

The second is that mainland capitals have begun to realize the role of traffic, so they have also begun to seriously cultivate mainland idols. Referring to the trainee model in South Korea, they have created a mainland version of tea eggs (burning boys are like this coming).

The third is Xu Lai, who is actually very close to this matter now. He is from mainland China, and he is backed by SM Company, a company rich in trainee resources. Going back to the mainland may also kill the Quartet.

Moreover, as Xu Lai is now a shareholder of SM Company, he has just signed a contract with SM Company and is still in the honeymoon period, so it is not a problem for him to have two good trainees, right?And earning money is everyone’s earning money. The studio has shares in SM Company. In terms of trainee resources, this is still very friendly to Xu Lai.

After being taught by Teacher He, Xu Lai became acutely aware that the path of "traffic idol" was profitable. Not only could he make money with his own traffic, but he could also make money by cultivating some traffic idols.

He relies on SM's mature trainee training concepts and systems, and the trainees he trains should be very competitive among those trainees in mainland China who are still trying to train through trial and error.Moreover, the trainees he trained do not debut in South Korea to compete for the market, but return to the mainland to open up new markets. There will not be much hindrance on SM's side.

This... is promising.

Xu Lai suddenly discovered the whereabouts of his studio funds.
