Regarding Zhu He, Li Miaomiao's only comment is: "Really, she is an actress."

Before pushing open the door of the meeting room, she turned to Lin Zhique and added, "You have to get used to it."

Zhu He is full of style today, wearing a long silk printed dress with charming eye makeup, standing in front of the window smoking a cigarette.She turned her head, with a smile on her lips, and looked up and down at Lin Zhique majestically.

Lin Zhique looked directly at her.

Li Miaomiao introduced her to Zhu He, and Zhu He said, "You look familiar. Where did you work before?"

Before she could answer, Zhu He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands dramatically: "Forget it, I don't care." Her voice was as crisp as a lark, "I am Zhu He, you and I are very destined, we are both birds."

Lin Zhique raised half of the corner of his mouth.

I don't know if the woman in front of me has forgotten that they only had a very unpleasant confrontation a few months ago.

Zhu He crossed his legs and sat down.

"I heard that you don't have much experience in our industry, and I don't know what you expect this job to bring you when you come here today. What I want to remind you is that things must be far from being as simple as you imagined , just like when you listen to a song and even sell a record, you can hardly imagine how difficult the process of making this record is, and how many people have to risk everything for it. The entertainment industry is a glamorous sweatshop, no A place suitable for ordinary people to dream of luxury and luxury."

It seems that I have not forgotten.

Zhu He snuffed out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand.

"Anyway, you're welcome to work with me. I want you to be someone who can do things. Someone who can make records, not just sell them." She raised her hand in a flirtatious gesture. "Please" gesture, "Okay, please sit down, we have a meeting."

It's not too harsh a showdown.

Li Miaomiao handed Lin Zhique a heavy folder, which contained not only contestant information, but also program planning and brand information of various sponsors.Zhu He and Li Miaomiao began to discuss the offline platform activities proposed by the sponsors. Lin Zhique didn't say a word, and Gu Zi carefully read the follow-up competition system.

Except for some extra entertainment plans, the competition system of several rounds is basically the same, with three-party decision-making, the professional judges select the player with the worst performance on the scene, and the audience votes to select the player with the lowest popularity. The jury decides the final elimination result.

Wen Wen, who was supposed to be in the top four, was upset, and Lu Shan was added to the top ten. Compared with her known history, the variables have increased sharply.

Compared with other contestants, Du Siren is neither a music major nor has he ever worked as a singer. His singing skills are not enough. He is a frequent visitor of PK station with Tao Lexin. Every next competition will be very difficult.

Unless it is changed to an elimination mechanism that is beneficial to her...

Zhu He's voice rang in her ears: "Zhi Que."

She looked up.

"Did you hear what we said just now?"

She didn't listen carefully, intermittently, it was nothing more than an exchange of interests with sponsors.

But she still answered without hesitation: "Compared to TV programs or the Internet, the influence of offline promotion is a drop in the bucket. Distracting players' time and energy to help brand platforms does not help their popularity much, and it is too commercial. On the contrary, it made the audience feel that we are eager to consume players." She quickly flipped through the sponsorship contract to confirm a certain clause, "...the contract did not specify this event, and if the sponsor does not add additional fees, I don't think it is necessary."

She knows the rules of the workplace: a meeting is to sum up some nonsense that everyone knows.

Zhu He smiled contemptuously: "The sponsorship contract is directly signed by the brand and the program group. Even if there is an additional fee, we will not participate in the split. What's the point?"

Li Miaomiao is turning a ballpoint pen: "Since the program group wants to sell this favor to the brand, and the brand is unwilling to pay extra for the performance, the program group should refund us the sponsorship fee in the early stage. Anyway, so many businesses are vying to enter the venue now. , there is no shortage of money."

Zhu He denied again: "After all, we are still the title sponsor. Once the money is refunded, there is no actual investment. If there is a dispute, we will be wronged and we will lose our way."

Lin Zhique understood the core of the conversation: the capital behind the two women represented by the two women in front of him would never allow himself to suffer the slightest loss in this cake-sharing meeting that had not yet officially started—the program group sold it. People get higher sponsorship fees, but love doesn't get any benefits. If there is no benefit, it will be a disadvantage.

While thinking, she flipped through the qualifications of more than ten sponsors page by page.Some of them are well-known brands that she recognizes and is familiar with until 2019, and some are short-lived and gradually declining. A few of them have no impression at all.

She took a pen to circle a few big brands that will develop well in the future.

Zhu He squinted at her sliding nib.

She said: "My opinion is that all brands that want to participate in the event should be asked to sign the endorsement letter of intent in advance, and the time is set before the top five competitions. In the brand auction, according to the bid level, after the competition, the top five players will be signed as spokespersons for a period of three years. If the letter of intent is not fulfilled, liquidated damages will be compensated according to the percentage of the endorsement fee."

She has her own selfish motives, if the ending cannot be changed, at least she can win the endorsement of a big brand for Dusi people.

Zhu He paused for three seconds, and then replied with a half-smile: "It's a direction that can be considered. You can follow up on this plan, and give me the intention and bid of the brand before the event starts to land. You can decide the starting price yourself , However, if the brands communicate with each other and lower the price in the auction, I will not accept it."

Lin Zhique was silent for a few seconds.The workplace in the entertainment industry has shown its true fangs in front of her, and it is definitely not something that can be fooled by just talking about it.

The discussion on this matter went back and forth a few more times, and Lin Zhique finally found an opportunity to strike a needle: "Miss Zhu, do you think there are some problems with the current competition system?"

"Ok?"

Zhu He lit a cigarette again.

"Even if it's a tripartite decision, we should distinguish between the primary and the secondary. If you value strength, the weight should be tilted towards professional judges. If you want to cater to the mass market, you should give more decision-making power to the audience and let [-] non-professionals decide the final result. , It’s not reasonable at all. For the audience, even if they vote desperately, they may not be able to keep their favorite players. This kind of interaction, the experience is too bad, and it will affect the connection between the product and the user..."

Li Miaomiao frowned with a smile: "What did you say? You mean, contestants are products, and audiences are users?"

It was her occupational disease.

"... What I mean is that the audience's sense of participation should be increased. It would be better to change the elimination result to a text message voting."

Zhu He interrupted them impatiently: "Of course I have thought about it. The program team is not willing. They think that the current competition system has a higher fault tolerance rate and can give people who are capable but not popular one more chance. The competition is fair and the competition is fair. I'm too lazy to praise people who have no personality."

She was not smoking a lady's cigarette, and the white mist she exhaled had a strong smell of tobacco.

"Forget it, I will have a meeting in Taiwan tomorrow, and I will bring this up again. Do you want to smoke?"

Zhu He opened the cigarette case to Lin Zhique with playful eyes.

Lin Zhique blinked slowly.In the blink of an eye, she decided what attitude to put on.

She reached for a cigarette, and lit it skillfully with the lighter on the table.

Zhu He seemed a little surprised that she accepted it so calmly, so he looked away and asked Li Miaomiao, "Where is Sanshui? Do you smoke?"

Li Miaomiao asked back: "If I don't smoke, will I be looked down upon by you?"

Zhu He replied: "Why do you spend your emotions looking down on you? There is no one, you, me, she, outside of work, each is in charge, and there is no need to be consistent."

They each smoked their own cigarettes, and after a moment of silence, Zhu He said again: "An artist may be a product, but a user may not necessarily be an audience."

When she said this, Lin Zhique was looking through the registration forms of the contestants.Chen Jia's copy was too tidy, except for the required items, the others were all blank, and only two words were filled in the column of single interest and hobby: music.Du Siren's copy is especially long-winded, full of writing, and many smiley faces and hearts.Dialect is worthy of being a rich lady with a high degree of education, with handsome and neat handwriting, Tao Lexin drew a big fire-breathing dinosaur on the lower part of the form, and the column of Lu Shan's motto read: Give me freedom or give me death.

They are absolutely not.It is by no means a product that is built layer by layer with cold code, fast iterative design, and content that caters to one demand after another and finds a balance between the interests of multiple parties.

"Jia, have you seen the new staff member's sister? She is very good-looking, even more beautiful than Sanshui's sister."

Du Siren heard Tao Lexin talking.They are making up and preparing to record the assembly video and number plate selection before the show starts.

Chen Jia's tone sounded a little impatient: "Are you in a beauty pageant?"

Tao Lexin acted like a baby: "I didn't mean that."

Then there is a voice in dialect: "Happy heart, misfortune comes from your mouth, don't point and point at others."

Then Tao Lexin stopped talking and was silent for dozens of seconds. Du Siren heard her move to the other side, next to Zhou Zipei in the Shenyang competition area, chattering like Zhou Zipei in Northeast dialect.She could almost imagine dialect's awkward and calm expression.

Du Siren opened her eyes, the makeup artist met her gaze, and smiled politely at her.It's not the same guy who did her makeup more than a month ago.That's okay, so I don't have to do it lightly, and the brush goes straight into her eye sockets.

From the mirror of the dressing table, she saw Lu Shan walking behind her, speaking loudly to the dialect: "A Yan, can you help me see which of these two necklaces is better? You have the most discerning eyes."

Lu Shan was the one who didn't get used to Tao Lexin the most. When Fang Yan was crying angrily, Lu Shan heard it in the room, rushed to the next door, lifted her out of the bed and cursed at her.Lu Shan is different from the Dusi people. Lu Shan is the one who stands up for her friends, while the Dusi people are the ones who talk with their friends all night long.

As for Chen Jia, she didn't know how to deal with herself, so she walked away silently.

Du Siren turned her head and saw Chen Jia sitting next to her, lowering her head to untangle the tangled earphone cable.

The door of the dressing room was pushed open, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Li Miaomiao walked in first.

There was another person behind her, blocked by her and the door frame, only one shoulder was exposed.

Du Siren subconsciously wanted to stand up.

Even if it's just the body line on one side, she can recognize her.

The makeup artist exclaimed: "Hey, hey, it will be fine soon, don't move."

The volume of Li Miaomiao's voice could be heard clearly in the whole room: "Good morning, everyone. Let me introduce our new staff to you. In the future, I will be in charge of your brokerage work with me..."

The man behind her entered the room.

Du Siren raised his eyes, smiled at Tao Lexin who was leaning on the table next to him, and said, "You're right."

Tao Lexin didn't seem to hear her words clearly: "Huh?"

"It's really beautiful," she said.

The weekly meeting place of the program group is just upstairs from the dressing room.Right now, the brief meeting was over, and Zhu He took the elevator downstairs alone. She had no expression on her face, and she didn't want to stay too long for a second. When the elevator door opened on a certain floor, she just cursed: "Damn, he Damn, a bunch of hypocrites."

At the meeting just now, she once again proposed to modify the competition system so that the audience voted to determine the final elimination candidate, but was rejected again.

A young boy stood outside the elevator door.

The boy met her eyes, startled by what she said, and froze in place.

Seeing that he looked familiar, she thought for a few seconds and then recalled that he was a musician who helped accompany him in the show.

The elevator door freezes for a few seconds with the boy, pops out again, and is about to close.Zhu He stretched out his finger and pressed the door open button.

She put away the fierce light that accidentally leaked just now, and smiled at him: "Can you come up?"

The boy bowed his head and answered yes.She noticed that he was blushing.

He walked into the elevator and stood with his back to her, with his head bowed all the time, with a slender figure and messy hair.

It was stuffy in the narrow elevator, Zhu He unbuttoned one of his own.

Recently, she feels that life is a bit boring.

She spoke to him and said, "Hey, can you play the guitar and the piano?"

The boy turned his face and looked at her cautiously out of the corner of his eye.

"……Um."

"Ten years ago, I met a boy who was very similar to you, a little shy and very talented. Later, I made him a superstar."

The boy turned his head.

She smiled at him.
