Ordinary Road 2010

"So Xiao Gu, can you tell me what plan or plan you have..."

Chapter 614

Shencheng.

Li Moyan, who was the president of Wanli Travel not long ago, has completely taken over the company since he became the CEO of Musically.

Now it's called Muse.

In order to keep Lin Yi's team as much as possible, she took only one "insider" with her, that is, Han Xue who moved to Shencheng together, basically alone.

As an airborne CEO, she is a little weak, so in addition to recruiting external staff, she does not intend to just let Han Xue be a small secretary.

Muse now has two versions with the same name, which are aimed at the mainland and overseas markets respectively, and they are not connected to each other for well-known reasons.

According to the development strategy that Lin Yi discussed with his senior sister, it was actually a coincidence that the predecessor Musically was able to accumulate such a large user base in the United States.

If this advantage is not properly utilized, the acquisition of 15 billion US dollars will be wasted.

Therefore, the overseas version of Muse is naturally the company's top priority, with Li Moyan at the helm, and most of the costs are spent here.

As for the mainland version of Muse, it is purely for walking on two legs, expanding the scope of business with little effort, and also to cope with the overall competitive situation.

Because after losing the bid for Musically, Zhang Yiming of Byte immediately launched the overseas version of Douyin, named TT.

The war has already begun.

Li Moyan, who has experienced the taxi battle, is not afraid of this, but in order to better focus on the development of the main strategic direction, she entrusted the independent business unit of the domestic version of Muse to Han Xue.

So at this moment, it was Han Xue who received the report first.

"The GIVE ME FIVE girl group under Iron Beast Entertainment opened official accounts on Muse in the name of the group and individual members, and released the first short video?"

"Yes."

After her subordinates confirmed the news, Han Xue still couldn't believe it, and muttered to herself, "What does she mean..."

The guy who reported was quite competent, thought he was asking himself, so he added: "GIVE ME FIVE is the number one girl group in the mainland with national influence. If you open an account on a mature platform such as Weibo, you only need to It can be said to be a regular publicity channel.”

"But our Muse has only recently started large-scale promotion, and most users don't know our existence yet."

"We are currently talking about the entry of a group of Internet celebrities and idol stars who are more popular with young people, so as to attract users and increase the supply of works for Muse."

"So far, GIVE ME FIVE is the most vocal among the invited users who have entered the platform. One proof is that they have become the account with the most followers on Muse in such a short period of time, and they are still increasing."

"It is said that they also announced this account in the fan club, so now a large number of new registered users are rushing to them."

"But the strangest thing is that we didn't invite them."

Han Xue unceremoniously rolled her eyes at her subordinates, does this kind of bullshit need an introduction?

"go out."

The subordinates who didn't know where he was in were expelled, and he didn't know where he had offended the new aunt, so he had to slip away unlucky.

Han Xue knew that her subordinates rated her as "difficult to serve", but she didn't care because her life creed was:

The most important thing is that I am happy, and everyone else stands back a little bit.

Only one person can influence her principle, so that she followed from Beijing to Shencheng, and the current matter is related to that person.

"Gu Caiwei..."

She recited the name silently and pondered for a long time.

At first, I thought it was just a fancy vase, but I had known Lin Yi for a long time, but I didn't expect that one day I would feel embarrassed.

Han Xue finally decided that this matter should be known to Li Moyan, so she ran to the CEO's office to tell the whole story.

"I already know."

Before Han Xue came here just now, she had imagined many situations and hesitated for a long time, but she didn't expect Li Moyan's reaction to be like this.

"Someone reported to you by leapfrogging?"

Probably not, because now in this company called Muse, only the two of them know what entanglement they have with Gu Caiwei.

"GIVE ME FIVE not only entered the mainland version of Muse, they also opened an official account on the overseas version, so I noticed it."

It turned out to be the case.

This was done by Peng Yuchen at his own discretion. He had already decided to enter the Muse platform. The two versions were the same except for the different markets, so why not together?

To be honest, Peng Yuchen gave Gu Caiwei and the others stage names in English in order to enter the overseas market, and he didn't even believe it.

Over the past few years, although GIVE ME FIVE has achieved unimaginable success in the mainland, it has not spent much thought on the outside.

Those rich countries with rich oil and water can't eat it, and the poor countries that are easy to radiate don't look down on them, so they still honestly work on one-third of an acre of domestic entertainment.

Boss Peng will soon be grateful for his wise decision.

"I decided to ask them to be endorsers."

"what?"

Han Xue was even more surprised by this, she could guess that Gu Caiwei's behavior might be some kind of show of favor, but what was Li Moyan's thinking?

"Simple, because they fit."

"Muse was already thinking about hiring a spokesperson. GIVE ME FIVE, the No. [-] girl group, was already on the candidate list. I know you crossed it out."

"Needless to say their influence in the mainland, and this time they entered the overseas edition, which gave me more inspiration."

"After Zhang Yiming launched the overseas version of Douyin TT, he focused the early stage on East Asia and Southeast Asia, which have relatively similar cultural backgrounds."

"This is somewhat different from our market direction of Muse based in North America and radiating to Europe. It may be that he is avoiding its edge, or it may be just a pilot."

"Should we just let him develop?"

"I have already asked the people below to investigate. Although GIVE ME FIVE has not specifically expanded outwards in the past few years, it has a certain fan base in East Asia and Southeast Asia, where idol culture is relatively homogeneous."

"Now is the early stage of the development of the short video industry. Most of the partners we can find, or the main users are Internet amateurs, and at most they are small Internet celebrities."

"In contrast, as a top girl group, their conditions are the best, and they can exert great value in both internal and external markets."

"Now that they have offered an olive branch, we have no reason not to accept it."

It sounds like it makes sense.

Han Xue didn't find anything wrong, but there was something weird about this matter.

Although Li Moyan said GIVE ME FIVE just now and didn't mention the other party's name, it is clear that most of the influence of this girl group can be directly equated with Gu Caiwei herself.

Li Moyan asked Gu Caiwei to speak for him?

Han Xue spit out the old trough from nowhere, and only had the word "outrageous" in her heart!

Muse is still a small company, and the decision-making process is not complicated. Basically, Li Moyan made the decision with one word, and she didn't give Han Xue a chance to question it.

"You go talk."

Chapter 615

When Han Xue met the other party, she still felt very ridiculous in her heart.

When Peng Yuchen saw her, his eyes lit up. Out of his professional habits, he judged that the appearance of the other party was enough to make a debut as an artist, but he was inclined to a charming appearance, which did not match the style of GIVE ME FIVE girls.

After thinking too much, they came to discuss business.

When two people meet, the first reaction in their minds is the same.

not coming.

Han Xue was more direct and simply asked: "Is Gu Caiwei not going to show up today?"

Peng Yuchen replied decently: "I have always been in charge of Vivienne's career. She is an artist. If she talks about things like endorsements in person, then what else do we need our agency to do?"

"If we successfully sign the contract this time, then when we attend the endorsement event, all of our GIVE ME FIVE will be there."

Peng Yuchen emphasizes here that GIVE ME FIVE does not intend to engage in bundled sales, but purely following the wishes of Caiwei.

Han Xue regrets not seeing Gu Caiwei in person, after all, she is the only girl she has been paying attention to for many years, once worked as an undercover agent in the other party's fan group, and even broke the news to the paparazzi.

In this way, the two have a lot of contacts.

Fortunately, she was not entangled, she put on a businesslike look, and asked:

"Before we discuss this matter, Mr. Peng, I want to confirm, what is the reason for the girl group under your company and its members to join our Muse collectively, or whose idea is this?"

"It's purely a commercial consideration."

Peng Yuchen is watertight, "As an artist management company engaged in the performing arts industry, we maintain long-term attention to various media platforms."

"After Muse was launched, based on our own observations and evidence obtained from other sources, we believe that short videos are being liked by a large number of users, especially young people, and may be the next outlet."

"Of course we didn't want to miss this opportunity, so we made the decision."

"Today, on behalf of GIVE ME FIVE, I received your invitation, which may prove that our consideration is completely correct."

Han Xue felt bored without listening to a few words.

She knew that Peng Yuchen was an old man, and he couldn't ask anything out of his mouth, so she gave up the idea of ​​continuing to talk.

"Then let's get down to business."

"Mr. Peng, as you know, Muse is in the stage of vigorous promotion and rapid growth, and we urgently need more traffic support."

"To tell you the truth, we have already done a detailed investigation on your company's GIVE ME FIVE girl group before we met, and think that your artist image, popularity and fan base are very in line with our requirements."

"What's especially rare is that the main force of idol fans are teenagers and students, which is also the mainstream user group of our Muse, with a high degree of fit."

"So there is an invitation from us."

"Let me just say that Muse hopes that GIVE ME FIVE can become the spokesperson of this product and cooperate with us in promoting it both in the mainland and overseas."

Peng Yuchen was not surprised by Han Xue's request. What was a little surprising was that the other party actually planned to sign GIVE ME FIVE for the overseas version as well.

As soon as she thought about it, she knew that Muse probably didn't have a better candidate.

For the overseas fans of GIVE ME FIVE, the company has been in a state of stocking and has provided little support.

The domestic entertainment market is big enough, and after being popular for three years, they have not seen a single capable opponent, so naturally they will not bother to develop outside.

Therefore, it is hard to say how much commercial value the signboard of GIVE ME FIVE has overseas.

Peng Yuchen remained calm, and began to argue with Han Xue about many details of the endorsement.

However, Han Xue is not a long-winded person, so the negotiation came to an end very quickly. The two parties basically determined their general intentions and just waited for their respective decisions.

She took this result and went back to report.

"The attitude of the other party at the event was good, and they promised to cooperate with our publicity as much as possible, and they can make certain promises in the release of Muse's works, and even customize promotional songs."

"I have evaluated the price with the public relations department. It should be regarded as a low quotation within the normal range. If we bargain again, it will appear that we are not authentic."

"Overall, it's a good deal."

Han Xue was not satisfied with explaining the matter, she put her hands on the table, leaned down and moved closer.

"But Mo Yan, do you really want to sign her?"

Li Moyan didn't respond to her right away. Although he listened to Han Xue's oral report, he still picked up the written report she brought and read it carefully before putting it down.

"Why not?"

"You also said that this is a good contract. From Muse's point of view, I can't think of any reason why I should refuse it."

Han Xue shook her head, obviously not satisfied with the answer.

"Don't play tricks on me, Li Moyan, don't you understand what I mean?"

"Then let me remind you again. When I went to negotiate with this agency company today, I didn't see the first sister of the girl group who was rumored by Lin Gossip."

Li Moyan and Han Xue are both from the north.

They can speak clearly, and naturally they can also hear the difference between the anterior nasal and the posterior nasal.

So Li Moyan is very sure that what Han Xue said in a joking tone just now was "Lin (lin) scandal" instead of "zero (ling) scandal".

This topic was still brought up.

In this case, Li Moyan did not evade any more, she said very seriously:

"I am a person who distinguishes between public and private, Han Xue, and you should be the clearest about this."
