#202 - Leopard Tooth Live's Offensive (2-in-1 subscription required)
In Candied Haw's consistent view, having paid such a high price to become an idol trainee, one should never become the least popular member of the group, but should stand in the center position.
Until one day, becoming a top idol, holding concerts at the Bird's Nest in the Imperial Capital and the Tokyo Dome!
And then, singing one's debut song while crying!
And accepting the crazy, tearful calls from the die-hard fans under the stage.
Only then can one be considered to have lived a relatively successful idol life.
Therefore, although Candied Haw only received the fourth-lowest number of votes in the first popularity vote of Sweetness Girls 101 (the bottom three were the Tang Tang sisters), she still practiced diligently every day.
In the girl group's first single MV, "Love Election," Candied Haw stood on the very edge, but soon, sharp-eyed fans discovered that she was the most hardworking girl in the entire group in terms of singing and dancing.
Slowly, she began to accumulate her own fans.
However, just as her singing and variety show skills were constantly improving, an unexpected trouble occurred.
It turned out that Sweetness Girls 101 and the boy group "Oriental Bulletproof," which belonged to the same brokerage company, were participating in the same variety show.
During a game interaction between Wu Fan, the leader of the boy group, and Candied Haw, Wu Fan had to put a cake on Candied Haw's head. If she couldn't maintain her balance, she would be covered in cream.
During this process, Wu Fan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, said:
"Mine is very big, please bear with it."
Candied Haw thought that the other party was making a sexual joke at her, and immediately retorted:
"That's it? Can you even do it, you weakling."
At that time, Wu Fan instantly felt like his sore spot had been poked, and his face immediately changed.
This incident almost interrupted the live broadcast of the show.
Although the host cleverly smoothed things over, the public opinion did not subside.
After the show aired, the boy group's fans rushed to Candied Haw's Weibo to scold her:
"My brother was just doing it for the show's effect, why are you so sensitive?"
"Eighteenth-tier unknown idol, it's a great honor for my FanFan to interact with you and help you gain traffic."
"Why are you so disrespectful to your senior? You must apologize to my brother!"
Because these two idol groups belonged to the same brokerage company—Jenny Turtle Studio.
Soon, Jenny Turtle's official Weibo issued an apology letter in the name of Sweetness Girls 101.
However, sharp-eyed boy group fans quickly discovered that Candied Haw's name was not in the joint signature of this apology letter.
It turned out that Candied Haw had been dissatisfied with the brokerage company's handling of the matter and resolutely refused to apologize.
As things reached a stalemate, the fans of Oriental Bulletproof decided to unite and do something ruthless at Sweetness Girls' concert.
A week later, at the next Sweetness Girls 101 tour concert, the anti-fans under the stage colluded with each other and uniformly turned off all the glow sticks, leaving the Sweetness Girls in darkness.
Many of the girl group's idols insisted on singing the song "Love Election" on stage, and then cried on the spot after going off stage.
This incident is the very famous "Black Sea Incident" in the history of Sweetness Girls 101.
After the Black Sea Incident, Candied Haw continued to argue with the anti-fans on Weibo.
The anti-fans said:
"With such a stubborn personality and being so sensitive, what kind of idol are you? Pay attention to seizing the opportunity to enter the factory."
There were also some trolls acting in reverse, adding fuel to the fire and saying some lewd jokes in the comment section.
Faced with various criticisms, Candied Haw directly released a trump card, posting a new photo on Weibo.
In this photo, Candied Haw made a measuring gesture with her index finger and thumb towards the camera,
And attached a text below: Small is also very cute.
Unexpectedly, this matter did not break the defenses of the anti-fans and trolls, but instead broke the defenses of the public opinion circle in neighboring Korea.
Obviously, this matter had nothing to do with Korea, but Korean men forcibly took it upon themselves,
A washed-up idol from China actually dared to ridicule across borders?
They were outraged!
Sweetness Girls 101 also completely lost the Korean market because of this.
Faced with an increasingly uncontrollable washed-up idol, Jenny Turtle Studio had long wanted to abandon her.
But if they took the initiative to terminate the contract, they would have to pay compensation, so the studio began to provoke internal conflicts. On the one hand, they told the Tang Tang sisters and other washed-up idols some unfounded and malicious rumors about Candied Haw,
On the other hand, they deliberately tilted the company's publicity resources towards the washed-up idols other than Candied Haw, which also led to the Tang Tang sisters' ranking surpassing Candied Haw in the pre-election voting before the second general election.
Candied Haw believed that the Tang Tang sisters must have reached some unspeakable deal with the brokerage company, so the relationship between the two parties gradually became estranged.
The brokerage company was intentionally dividing Candied Haw from other trainees, deliberately disgusting Candied Haw, making her feel that she couldn't stay any longer and voluntarily withdraw from the group.
So in the end, the tired Candied Haw decided to leave.
Although the Tang Tang sisters tried their best to persuade her to stay, Candied Haw only left the three sisters with a lonely figure, packing her things.
The eldest sister Cotton Candy said with tears in her eyes: "Do you think we will feel better this way?"
Candied Haw sighed:
"But my pain is above yours."
She left without looking back, packing her things.
This public opinion storm fermented to the end, and both sides were tired of arguing. The scolding war ended with an article of crusade by Wu Fan's private fan:
"Why is FanFan Brother a God?"
"First of all, it is Candied Haw who committed the sin of arrogance, not focusing on her own cultivation,
Relying solely on hugging FanFan's thigh to蹭 traffic, and being complacent when briefly at the peak,
Even allowing fans to say words that offend FanFan's godhood such as 'weakling', such an idol is destined to not go far,
The fact is also true, after offending the Korean market, the studio completely froze her. She, who is not skilled in her craft, can only say 'I will be back' at the moment of life and death, and ultimately did lose her life, becoming a stepping stone for FanFan's deification."
……
Returning to reality from past memories, Candied Haw let out a long sigh.
After frowning and reading this interview with the Tang Tang sisters, her head was full of question marks,
She didn't know what the CEO of Peach Blossom Village was thinking, actually choosing these three big smarties to be in charge of the live broadcast business. Isn't this just running into the line of fire?
But in a sense, she felt fortunate about this.
If the other party's executives were someone else, she might still have some competitive pressure, but the minds of these three are really too easy to guess.
After all, the abilities and IQ ceiling of the three sisters are here, they can't make any big waves.
For example, on the matter of launching the virtual idol Vtuber, she predicted the other party's prediction.
Her eyes sparkled with brilliance, looking at Cotton Candy's confused face on the screen, she smiled slyly:
"Tang Wanru, how will you respond to my next move?"
……
In the next few days, Leopard Tooth Live began to announce some live broadcast plans centered around Candied Haw's virtual image.
Candied Haw's debut on Leopard Tooth Live will be held on Halloween soon.
At that time, Candied Haw's real person will appear in a Halloween-themed cosplay image, and her avatar will also appear at the same time.
In this live broadcast debut, Leopard Tooth Live exclusively customized Candied Haw's idol photo album, which includes both Candied Haw's real-person swimsuit appearance and the original character setting manuscript of virtual Candied Haw, which also has Candied Haw's signature and lip print.
Fans only need to open a 12-month Guardian (similar to D station's Captain) on Leopard Tooth Live on the day of the premiere to get this photo album.
On the day of the Halloween live broadcast, Candied Haw will also personally have video chats with the big brothers on the fan list, and she will also use a paintbrush to draw simple sketches of the images of the big guys on the leaderboard and give them to them,
In short, this event focuses on enhancing the sense of participation.
Candied Haw needs to increase the gift revenue of the live broadcast debut, and these activities are undoubtedly to stimulate the audience to spend.
Only if the data of the live broadcast debut looks good can she gain a foothold in the Liu Group surrounded by wolves.
In addition to the stimulating activities for the first day's revenue, Candied Haw also proposed some plans to improve the quality of virtual idols:
First of all, Leopard Tooth Live will invite well-known domestic music producers to release original songs exclusively for virtual Candied Haw, and this song will also be released as an album later.
Immediately afterwards, Leopard Tooth Live will launch a virtual idol voice actor dubbing plan to perform plot dubbing for various beautiful girl characters in Youyi Company's games.
Even more outrageous is that Leopard Tooth Live will launch a web application for virtual idols on the homepage of the live broadcast platform, where players can interact with Candied Haw wearing various Halloween costumes.
These plans caused an uproar on Weibo as soon as they were announced.
Netizens' comments began to flood the screen:
"Goodness, Liu Group not only paid Candied Haw's sky-high liquidated damages, but even used the resources of the group's game department to promote Candied Haw. It seems that Liu Lan has spent a lot of money to enter the live broadcast industry."
"Damn? This photo album is simply my dream! 12 months of Guardian is nothing, this photo album is a lifetime memory!"
"That virtual idol applet sounds so interesting, I really hope it can be officially launched soon!"
"Halloween cosplay live broadcast? Will the anchor play the 'trick or treat' game?"
"Is the trick you mentioned serious? What kind of egg is it tricking, funny.jpg"
"Everyone upstairs is taken away."
"Candied Haw's live broadcast debut will shock the entire live broadcast circle, I said it!"
Along with the preheating of various channels, the number of live broadcast reservations for Leopard Tooth Live's Halloween debut has reached 5 million, directly breaking the new record for the number of live broadcast preheating in the live broadcast industry!
……
Just as the entire network's public opinion fell into excited anticipation, in the live broadcast department office area of Peach Blossom Village, the eldest sister Cotton Candy looked at the news reports and the opponent's number of reservations with a serious face.
Goodness, I didn't expect Candied Haw to release such a ruthless move as soon as she came up.
The girl's eyes gradually dimmed, and she vaguely felt that Peach Blossom Village's live broadcast platform was about to be completely defeated by the other party.
At this time, a prompt popped up in front of Lu Yu: 【The Tang Tang sisters feel desperate because of the terrible strength of the live broadcast competitor, a critical hit occurs, leisure points -26】
After seeing the deduction record, Lu Yu frowned and immediately called the eldest sister to the office to inquire,
After the other party said the content of Leopard Tooth Live's debut and the surge in popularity across the network in one breath,
Lu Yu was immediately overjoyed,
This is really wanting to sleep and a pillow is delivered!
Cough, keep a low profile, keep a low profile!
Don't let the Tang Tang sisters see the arc of my mouth that I can't stop bending.
The latest novel is first published at 六 9 书 吧!
Lu Yu felt that, in a sense, when the competitor is too strong, the employees will subconsciously emo, but as long as they survive this uncomfortable stage, they will completely give up involution.
So, this time, he wants to use Leopard Tooth Live, a powerful competitor, to completely cut off the employees' thoughts of becoming small involution kings.
The person in charge of Leopard Tooth Live, thank you for the assist I sent!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu curled his lips and smiled:
"It's useless to waste time here thinking wildly. Including your live broadcast team, everyone go home and simply pack your things. Let's take the evening bus to depart."
At this time, Liu Mengyuan, who was sitting next to her, was a little confused: "Pa-pack things, what for?"
"We haven't had team building for a long time, let's go to Disneyland in Jianghai City for a 3-day 2-night team building trip!"
That's right, when employees are shocked by competitors, the best approach is to directly interrupt the other party's train of thought, and not let the other party come back to their senses and start involution counterattack.
……
That morning, all Peach Blossom Village employees received this team building notification email.
Some new employees who joined the company were a little confused. It's not the end of the year yet, why did President Lu choose such a time to do team building?
But when they asked the old employees next to them, they were even more shocked.
It turned out that this was already the nth team building trip of Peach Blossom Village this year.
Zhang Fan smiled and said: "President Lu probably feels that it has been too long since the last time we went to Gusu Ancient City to eat, drink and have fun, so he decided to let everyone relax again."
The new employees asked cautiously: "Brother Fan, what do you mean by too long?"
Zhang Fan tilted his head: "I can't remember clearly either, probably... last month?"
"……"
The new employees looked complicated, goodness, their previous companies may not have had team building more than once a year.
As a result, you have team building here every month, and you still think it's been too long?
However, when these employees thought of the company's other heaven-defying benefits, such as the 543 working system and reducing efficiency and increasing costs, they suddenly felt that everything became reasonable.
This President Lu is really a great philanthropist.
【30 newly hired employees of Peach Blossom Village feel happy about the company's frequent team building, a critical hit occurs, leisure points +200】
Lu Yu smiled slightly when he saw the system light curtain prompt.
This is just the beginning!
After all, Disneyland is just in the eastern suburbs of Jianghai City, and hasn't even left the city, so this team building can only be regarded as an appetizer for the next series of eating, drinking and playing plans.
Whether it's the game business or the live broadcast business, in this cycle, I will definitely lead you to lie flat with all my strength!
As long as you don't trigger a system warning, you little fellows can slowly indulge in pleasure, hehehe!
...
That afternoon, the bus chartered by Peach Blossom Garden Company arrived at Disneyland.
For many fresh graduate employees from other places, this was their first time visiting Disneyland.
The bus shuttled through the busy streets of Jianghai City, and the new employees gathered excitedly, holding park maps and discussing their tour routes.
When they arrived at Disneyland, the sun was already setting, and the park's lights were dazzling.
The employees got off the bus with great excitement, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.
Everyone first went to Disney Town and bought some souvenirs, all shopping expenses were reimbursed by the company.
Then, everyone entered the Disney Castle.
The lights on the castle looked particularly warm at night, like a palace in a fairy tale, and everyone took out their phones to take pictures with the castle.
Lu Yu bought 3-day all-inclusive tickets for everyone, so today, they briefly played the projects around the castle first.
Soaring Over the Horizon, Pirates of the Caribbean, TRON Lightcycle Power Run...
When the employees got on the Ferris wheel, the surrounding night scenes seemed to turn the fleeting moment into eternity, and the feeling of soaring in the night sky made everyone excited and scream.
After that, they got on the Adventure Isle roller coaster. In the thrilling roller coaster rotation, everyone screamed from time to time, and waved their arms and laughed wildly, fully releasing the fatigue accumulated recently.
Immediately afterwards, the employees visited the Future World Science Museum, where they sat on suspended seats and experienced the magical journey of flying over the canyon brought by the giant screen.
As night fell, the fireworks of Disney Castle bloomed, and the colorful lights reflected the smiling faces of the employees.
[Employee Liu Mengyuan experienced the TRON Lightcycle Power Run, feeling happy, triggered a critical hit, Leisure Points +20]
[Employee Mo Xiaoxuan experienced the roller coaster, feeling happy, triggered a critical hit, Leisure Points +18]
[Employee Wan Xiaotong experienced Soaring Over the Horizon and the fireworks show, feeling happy, triggered a combo, Leisure Points +28]
...
Lu Yu happily watched the system light screen constantly harvesting new Leisure Points.
Since the start of this cycle, because a negative work alert was triggered, the system restricted a wave of the company's eating, drinking, and playing team building activities. Now, with the smooth completion of the expansion, the various business lines no longer have such urgent tasks, and he must earn all the points back.
After watching the fireworks show, Lu Yu took everyone to the restaurant on the second floor of the castle.
The restaurant here was directly booked by Peach Blossom Garden tonight.
People in Mickey Mouse and other classic Disney character costumes shuttled between the tables, constantly taking photos with the girls.
The first dish was the signature dessert - a Mickey Mouse-shaped rainbow cake. The cake was colorful and lifelike, and everyone couldn't help but take out their phones to take photos and share them on WeChat Moments.
The cake melted in the mouth, with a moderate sweetness, making people intoxicated.
The main course was a set meal inspired by Disney animated films. Each dish was carefully plated, presenting classic scenes from the animations.
Some were grilled chicken legs with a Zootopia theme, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and some were seafood platters with a Star Wars theme, fresh and juicy.
The main course was classic fairy tale-themed sandwiches and vegetable salads. Snow White was cleverly depicted on the sandwich, making people reluctant to eat it.
The Marvel character vegetable salad was fresh and juicy, and every bite was unforgettable.
Lu Yu looked at Liu Mengyuan beside him and smiled, "How is it, are you used to the food? Do you think it's not as good as Teacher Fan Jing's cooking?"
"It's different."
Liu Mengyuan tucked her long hair behind her ears, took a small bite of the Mickey Mouse cake, and shook her head:
"Each has its own advantages. The chef's skills here are also okay, and the most important thing is the fresh atmosphere. After getting used to a certain chef, it's good to change it up occasionally."
Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
Very good, girl, you have already understood the essence of the threshold theory of enjoying life.
That's right, that's how it should be. Life is about constantly enjoying leisure. Why bother with those lousy jobs?
So, he sighed, "Actually, life is like this. Experiencing different atmospheres may bring new gains."
Liu Mengyuan felt a jolt in her heart as she ate!
Here it comes!
Lu Yu's development hint!
She looked up at the Tangtang sisters opposite her and found that their eyes were also full of excitement!
