Entertaining Children

"Boss, are there really so many people watching the live broadcast of you and Sister La?" Pei Minyi, who was driving on the way to send Xiao Yao back from Chen Beila's residence, couldn't help asking, "When we left, I saw The number of viewers shown in the live broadcast room is almost four million." When Xiao Yao and Chen Beila were live broadcasting just now, Pei Minyi only needed to help hand things over, and she also watched them with her mobile phone when she had nothing to do. live broadcast.

"There must be moisture." Xiao Yao smiled, "However, this kind of thing happens in any industry. TV stations falsely report ratings, movies falsely report box office, and companies falsely report performance and turnover. It is not uncommon, and it is not surprising. .I heard that the number of viewers shown in the live broadcast seems to be quite large, but I don’t know exactly how large the audience is, and I’m not interested in finding out.”

"What? You also want to start a live broadcast?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Pei Minyi again and said.

When riding alone in a car, Xiao Yao usually chooses to sit in the co-pilot position, and rarely sits alone in the back seat of the car like a boss. On the one hand, he has a good personal relationship with Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi, and it is convenient to sit in front and chat. On the other hand, he thinks that sitting in front can help to keep an eye on the road conditions, and make some appropriate reminders when necessary, which is safer.

"The English training course is over. I'm free recently, so I want to find something to do." Pei Minyi said, "But I can't play games, and it's not like you can play the piano and sing. What can I broadcast live?"

"There are a lot of live broadcasts on the Internet, and not all of them play games and sing." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "There are live broadcasts for eating, some live broadcasts for part-time jobs, and live broadcasts for sleeping. There are all kinds of weird things. You Isn’t it a makeup artist? You can teach people how to do makeup live, and there should be many girls watching.”

"Really?" Pei Minyi said.

"Well, there should be." Xiao Yao nodded and continued, "But I have a request. If you start a live broadcast, no matter how good your grades are, you can't sign a contract with the live broadcast website. Because once you sign a contract, there will be many Restrictions, such as how long you broadcast in a month, you must participate in some activities on the live broadcast platform, etc. You are my makeup artist and assistant, and I may need you to work for me at any time, so you cannot carry other Otherwise, what if there is a time conflict between the two parties? If you want to sign a contract with the live broadcast platform, you will still resign from my side unless you find it first."

"I'm just asking casually. Even if I really go to live broadcast, I will just play casually like you. I will definitely not sign a contract with the live broadcast platform." Pei Minyi hurriedly said, "Your side is my main job."

"Even if you don't sign a contract, you may be able to earn pocket money by doing live broadcasts and sharing income from rewarding props and gifts." When Xiao Yao said this, he suddenly remembered his share of income from props and gifts, and said to Pei Minyi, "You Check my bank account these days. When I was playing on several live broadcast platforms a few days ago, I received a lot of props and gifts. Although I didn’t sign a contract, the live broadcast platform also has to pay me for the money from these props .you check,

If no money comes in, tell Yiran and ask Yiran to go after the money. "Xiao Yao's bank accounts were all opened with the name "Xiao Yao". In order to keep confidential, they filled in Pei Minyi's bank account number when registering.

"Isn't Miss Yi still busy discussing with the music website about the online distribution of the song you wrote for Sister La? You asked her to go after the bill again?" Pei Minyi said.

"There are three websites, one is Youyu's partner, and she has dealt with two of them many times. Let's talk about the songs I wrote and composed. Which website doesn't rush to get it? It's not difficult for her at all. , and don’t need to spend a lot of energy. She’s been quite free recently, otherwise she wouldn’t be the manager of Lajie.” Xiao Yao said with a smile, “After she became Lajie’s agent, besides helping her contact the website publishing Song, the first thing I did was to help Sister La recover the advertising fee that was in arrears. This advertisement has nothing to do with her. It was negotiated by Sister La before. commission, do you think she is relatively free?"

"I just think your boss is really bad!" Pei Minyi smiled, "The assistants want to start a live broadcast, and the agent will go to help people recover after signing a new person. I'm thinking that if we don't find some side jobs by ourselves Do it, relying on you alone, will you starve to death in the future!"

"Won't your conscience ache when you say such things?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You are still working in a musical instrument company and a design studio, and now you are also working part-time as a make-up artist in Yin Xi's studio to earn extra money , while learning to be a stylist from others, I found this side job for you, will I starve you to death?"

"Okay, okay, I'm joking, boss, don't be angry." Pei Minyi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and changed the subject, "How much is the money for that prop? How to deal with it after it arrives, yes Do you want Sister Yiran to transfer it directly to your account?"

"There should be around 200,000 yuan," Xiao Yao said, "You and Yiyi will each get 50,000 yuan as a bonus. It's July now, so let me give you a half-year bonus. In addition, I will give you a bonus of 50,000 for Sister La. Fifty thousand, and the rest will be charged to my account." The tomb detective

"Thank you, boss!" Pei Minyi laughed. "But Sister Yiran and I are members of your private team. It's okay for you to give us bonuses. What's the matter with you giving Sister La money? Do you want to sign her into the company?"

"How can I have a company to sign her?" Xiao Yao said, "Qijia's studio belongs to my parents, and signing artists is my parents' business. I have no right to sign people in the studio. I own a musical instrument company. , a brand design studio, why sign an Internet celebrity? Endorsement? Don’t say it’s inappropriate, even if you ask her to speak for an advertisement, it’s not called signing into the company.”

"Then if you give Sister La money for no reason, will she accept it?" Pei Minyi asked strangely, "She is an artist under Sister Yiran, not yours. Don't you even care about the release of the song you wrote for her? ?”

"What do you mean by no reason? That's the reward I plan to give her, not a bonus." Xiao Yao said, "Didn't I buy a warehouse and plan to convert it into a LOFT? I plan to ask her to help me with the design drawings. She originally studied architecture Designed, worked in an architectural design company before becoming an anchor, and had experience in interior design.”

"But it has been several years since she resigned from the design company and became a full-time anchor," Pei Minyi said uncomfortably, "Does she still have the ability to help you produce design drawings for your warehouse?"

"After she became an anchor, she still drew pictures for the audience during the live broadcast, at least the ability to draw pictures has not been lost." Xiao Yao said, "As for the specific design, she has millions of fans, who watch her live broadcast every day. There are hundreds of thousands of water friends. Those people are not only students, but also professionals who have already worked and engaged in various industries. There are all kinds of talents. On the premise of not disclosing the specific location of the warehouse, I don’t mind. I would even suggest that she put the entire design process as a live broadcast in her live broadcast room, and there will definitely be some water friends who will give her suggestions and ideas."

"Since she has done this kind of thing and has not lost her ability to draw pictures, then she should still have the ability to judge which ones are deliberately messing up ideas and which ones are really feasible. Do you know how many water friends are here? Help her later, what these people work together to complete may be better than what I hired a whole design team to do the design." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Anyway, I am Party A, and if I am not satisfied with the things I made, I can Ask for revisions until I am satisfied."

"Wow~ Boss, you hired so many designers through Sister La?" Pei Minyi said in surprise, "This is the ultimate use of everything! Can you think of this?"

"It's making the best of people!" Xiao Yao shook his head and corrected with a smile, and continued, "I'm still Sister La's manager, and I still handle the warehouse purchase. Even if I don't say it, I still think about it , I mentioned this to me. I have also seen some of the design works posted by Sister La’s fans in the post bar. Now she still has an almighty water friend to help, of course I chose to entrust the design work of the warehouse to her."

"Since you have already made up your mind, why didn't you tell her during the live broadcast just now?" Pei Minyi said, "When you live live together, there must be more viewers than when she broadcasts alone. You can tell her to give her an idea." There should be more architectural designers, right? Wouldn’t the designed things be better?”

"No need," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "everything is too late. I have had enough contact with her recently. If I announce in the live broadcast that I want him to help me design the loft, it will be easy to be regarded as her I hype or I deliberately help her hype and recruit her. Besides, I don’t take the initiative to do this kind of thing. I take the initiative to come to me after discussing with her. This job is still helping her get it. This can increase still The weight of this new manager in Sister La's heart."

"Sister Yiran's agent for a star like her is not enough for her to act as an agent for an internet anchor?" Pei Minyi said in disbelief.

"Her personality is somewhat similar to mine, and she doesn't like to be restrained, so she never found a manager." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "She will still ask her to be a manager, not because she is still famous, but because I still promised not to help her take over the job without authorization. Still, this agent wants to have more weight in her heart and have greater influence on her, relying on specific actions."

"Yeah, another weird one!" Pei Minyi curled her lips and said nothing.

After the live broadcast with Chen Bella, Xiao Yao's career as an anchor has come to an end temporarily. The next day, Xiao Yao and Hong Xiuyan rehearsed together for an afternoon the chorus song to be sung in the "Singer" final. In the evening, Xiao Yao, who had nothing else to worry about, also satisfied Hong Xiuyan's request on the day she arrived, and took her to see the night view of Shanghai as a landlord. Rebirth of Emperor Xining

Shencheng is a super-first-tier big city in China, and it can be regarded as an international metropolis. The night view at night is also very beautiful and worth seeing. Xiao Yao could feel that it was not the first time for Hong Xiuyan to come to Shanghai, but Hong Xiuyan was still very excited and happy. Everywhere she went, she would pull Xiao Yao to give her a detailed introduction.

In such a large city as Shanghai, there are many unique scenic spots and buildings, and it is impossible to finish shopping in one night. When the play was about to end, Hong Xiuyan also asked Xiao Yao to continue to accompany her on night tours in Shanghai in the next few days. Xiao Yao’s two songs for the final have already been selected, and there are still more than ten days before the final, and the rehearsal time is not too tight. It is summer vacation, and Xiao Yao has nothing else to deal with recently, so he agreed down. It's just that he just smiled and promised Hong Xiuyan to be her tour guide in Shanghai, but he had to break his promise because of a phone call.

"Xiuyan is angry, I'm sorry that tomorrow's rehearsal has to be canceled temporarily, we will continue until the day after tomorrow. And I just promised you to be your tour guide in the next few nights. I'm afraid I can't do the night tour of Shanghai." Bund Riverside Beside the guardrail, Xiao Yao walked back to Hong Xiuyan with an apologetic expression after answering the call.

"What happened?" Hong Xiuyan asked with concern and curiosity.

"Nothing happened, it's just that my friends are coming suddenly." Xiao Yao said, "Tomorrow I will fly to Yanjing to pick them up."

"Specially fly to Yanjing to pick up friends? Can't they fly to Shanghai by themselves?" Hong Xiuyan said with resentment, "Are you going to abandon me because of others again?"

"I don't know if they can come to Shanghai by themselves, but they are very important to me, and they are friends from afar. I must go to Yanjing to meet them in person." Xiao Yao said, "I will bring them to Shanghai In the next few days, our daytime rehearsals will continue as usual, but at night, I guess I have to accompany them."

"Why are friends so important?" Hong Xiuyan frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility, Zhanyan asked speculatively, "From afar? From abroad? From the United States?" Xiao Yao seemed to speak English.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao said, "It's the American student band "Immortals". They are on summer vacation and decided to travel to China. I am still a member of this band. When they come to China, I will definitely welcome them of."

"They said they were going to give me a surprise, but they didn't tell me in advance. They knew I was from Yanjing, so they booked a flight to Yanjing directly, and they called me just before boarding at the airport. I'm sure now I can't get them to change to a flight to Shanghai, and when I was an exchange student, I stayed at the home of two of them for a year, and I promised them that I would invite them to my home." Xiao Yao continued, "So I Tomorrow, I will fly to Yanjing and pick them up at the airport in Yanjing. Then I will take them to my house as guests, and after playing for a day, I will bring them to Shanghai."

"So it's them!" Hong Xiuyan felt relieved.

She also knew about Xiao Yao's experience as an exchange student in the United States. Although the media did not report many details about Xiao Yao's life as an exchange student, there were many reports about the student band that once performed on the Oscar stage. All the members of that band were Xiao Yao's classmates in that high school in the United States, and two of them were children of Xiao Yao's host family. They have studied and lived together for a year, and this kind of friendship is obviously not comparable to the friendship between her and Xiao Yao in the entertainment industry.

Immediately, Hong Xiuyan thought of another question, and asked Xiao Yao a little nervously: "Since the "Immortals" band is here, do you plan to change the final chorus song of "Singer"? I know that "IMMORTALS" is your song." Written, you can definitely cooperate with them on the final stage of "Singer"!"

In terms of popularity in China, "Immortals" is not as good as Hong Xiuyan, who has worked hard in the film and television industry in China for several years, but in terms of fame in the world, "Immortals" is much higher than Hong Xiuyan. Moreover, an American band that has been on the Oscar stage looks more stylish and classy than her, a Korean film and television actor. Xiao Yao was originally a member of the band, and his relationship must be deeper than with her. She and Xiao Yao have only rehearsed twice, and there are still more than ten days before the finals. It is not impossible to change songs and guest singers now.

"No!" Xiao Yao laughed, "Didn't I just say that rehearsals for the next few days will continue as usual?"

"But you also reminded me!" Xiao Yao clapped his hands fiercely, "Since they are here, we must give full play to their talents and not waste them! I can let them appear in the solo part of the second round, and we will appear in the form of a band. I will be the sole vocalist and Dean will be the guitarist, this is not in violation of the rules of the program group!"
