Kim, known as the “top-tier young male singer”, was having lunch when he received the call from George.
This situation was the first experience of its kind.
In a rage he didn’t care about lunch, so he hurried to the airport with several assistants and bodyguards.
He wants to fly to Aurous Hill as soon as possible, and he can’t delay any longer.
Unfortunately, once he is in Aurous Hill, basically no one is available there to receive him.
Because he had arranged several people in advance to fight for selfies and handshakes with him none of them could be contacted without exception.
So now he needs to go there in advance, but there is not even a local person who can pick him up from the plane at the airport.
Although the Zhong family’s business is quite large, almost all of their business is concentrated in North China.
Aurous Hill has nothing to do with their business activity, and there is no branch or office in that part.
So after arriving in Aurous Hill, he will be like a foreign tourist touching the ground for the first time. Once in the city, he is like a blind man in the middle of the night.
On the way, his life assistant, a young girl in her twenties couldn’t help but ask him:
“Master, we are going so hastily this time, the airport pick-up ceremony that was arranged before is not scheduled for this time slot…”
The current entertainment industry pays attention to traffic in everything.
If the celebrity goes out, if there is no fan to pick up the plane, it will definitely be regarded as a dead thread.
Therefore, many of the celebrities beyond actual popularity do not have many fans.
If they want to create the illusion of their extreme popularity, they must buy a bunch of group performances in advance and let them gather at the airport to act as fans who are there for the pick-up of their favorite star.
In addition, airport photos are also an important channel for celebrities to appear on hot searches.
Generally speaking, male and female celebrities will dress up brightly in advance, and then arrange for highly skilled photographers to take photos at the airport, and then let the top photo editing experts tinker the photos to perfection.
After that, the photos will be posted online, and by spending time and Public relations and advertising fees these materials can be posted on hot search on major online platforms in an instant.
Nowadays, the hot search for this thing is like a star’s life-saving pill.
The bigger the star, the more often you must get a hot search every once in a while.
Those who can’t get the spot often will die;
Those who can only last for a year and a half are half dead;
Only frequent, regular, or all-time hot searches will be recognized as the industry’s top performers.
Once you are labeled as top-notch, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
For example, the top-tier star can be paid more than 100 million yuan for a TV series, and they can endorse a product at random, and the endorsement fee will have to be tens of millions.
Kim’s so-called top-notch male singer title actually works like this all the way.
Every time he goes out of town, he has to take care of at least a few hundred fake fans to pick him up from the plane at the airport, and he spends money to hire a group of so-called “crazy fans” to follow him frantically.
His all-time favorite drama is to send out press releases to condemn these fans who seem to be crazy, and then spend money to promote his words as well.
In this way his words can get a hot search, probably with the title: “Kim is troubled by crazy fans in a certain place, and he publishes condemnation.”
He will also use such hot searches to include the lively passersby and netizens, and then use a lot of photos of retouching pictures, rebranded songs, etc.
Then combining his various talented, hardworking, and rich second-generation personal settings. These unaware passers-by become his fan.
This kind of gameplay has long become a standard operating procedure in the entertainment industry.
If a celebrity arrives at a certain place where no one picks up the plane and does not have a beautiful and handsome airport photo, they will definitely become the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.
Therefore, after Kim heard that the pick-up and shooting couldn’t keep up, he was furious and asked angrily:
“What’s the matter? I am going to Aurous Hill. Is there not even a pick-up arrangement?”
The female assistant hurriedly said: “Master, you originally planned to fly to Aurous Hill tomorrow morning, so all the things are arranged by George for tomorrow!”
With that, the female assistant hurriedly took out a notepad, flipped through it, and said: “George has already booked it with the local group leader in Aurous Hill.
At nine o’clock tomorrow morning, 500 people will arrive at the Airport for the group performance. In the lobby, these are all acting like fans.
This pick-up is very big, and then we will first buy you a hot search for your arrival in Aurous Hill and pick up a large number of fans;”
“In addition, there are ten groups of photographers who will arrive at the airport at 9 o’clock tomorrow.
They will be ready to capture you at various locations in the airport, and then send the original photos to their editing team.
The edited pictures will be sent to me as soon as possible, and then you will personally select the ones you are satisfied with.
Then we will follow up and purchase the second hot search, which is your fashionable outfit at the airport.”
“In addition, there are more than 20 senior actors who will act as your crazy fans. Then they will drive you all the way from the airport to the hotel, and you will stop halfway to their car.
Condemn them, and then we will buy another hot search where you condemn the fanatical attitude of these fans;”
“According to the original plan, these crazy fans will knock on the door of your room at night, and even trick you into opening the door in the name of a waiter, and then rush in desperately to take a photo with you;”
“According to George’s arrangement, you will call the police directly when the time comes.
After the police come out, the secretly arranged reporter will film the whole process and post it directly to the Internet that evening.
We will follow up on your fourth hot search on the day. This is a hot search where you are severely harassed by crazy fans and eventually had to report to the police for help;”
“Four hot searches a day will definitely make you the king of topics in these two days!”
Kim said coldly: “You tell me, these are useful for a sh!t now? I am fcuking going today, not tomorrow!
I want you to advance all these arrangements for today! Advance to two hours later!”
The female assistant said helplessly, “Master, the problem now is that I can’t reach George, and the materials, such as banners, pennants, and light signs, will arrive in Aurous Hill tonight.
So if we pass now, these will not be able to keep up with us.”
“Grass!” Kim said angrily: “How can I say I am the hottest male singer now.”
“If I go to Aurous Hill without a fan to pick me up from the plane, if I pass it out, I won’t be laughed at by others?”
After that, he said undoubtedly: “Hurry up and make arrangements for me!”
“You call the group leader directly and say that I will double the cost. After an hour, he must bring three hundred people to the airport to wait for me.”
If you can’t get the aid materials within an hour, find a few young women, ask them to bite their fingers, and write blood notes on the white T-shirts.”
“Welcome to Aurous Hill. As long as they are willing to write blood notes, one person will be given an extra 5,000!”
The female assistant said helplessly: “Master, the group leader in Aurous Hill was contacted by George, and I don’t have his contact information either!”
“Grass!” Kim slapped her face and yelled: “If you don’t have any contact information, you can think of a solution.”
“I don’t care what the hell you do. If you can’t figure it out, I’m asking you only once!”
The female assistant was slapped in the face, and the aggrieved girl almost cried, and choked up:
“Master, otherwise, you can wait a few hours, let me go there in advance and arrange things over there before you fly from here… …”
Kim cursed: “Why will I have to wait until you fcuking go there? Now George is missing.”
“If I can’t find the fans, many things will have to be repeated. Now there are only three days left before the concert. It is all too late?!”
The female assistant at this time, clutching her flushed face, cried and said, “Master, these are George’s work mistakes. You can’t vent all your anger on me. It’s not fair to blame me…”
“Fair to your sister!” Kim said with disgust: “I fcuking want you to solve the problem for me now, instead of letting you throw the pot here!
I don’t want to care if George is dead or alive. You must arrange things for me! Otherwise, I will fcuking kill you!”
The female assistant was frightened by Kim’s fierce appearance. She didn’t dare to find any reason for herself, so she nodded and said aggrieved:
“OK, master, I will find a way to contact the local public relations resources…”
Kim said: “Remember, I only want female fans at the scene, not male fans! Don’t give me a bunch of big bosses yelling at the airport, I can’t afford to ***** that person!”
Last year, when Kim’s plastic surgery was finally regarded as small and effective, in order to highlight his personality of the top singer, he began to hire a large group of actors to play fanatic fans everywhere.
Although he himself has a certain real fan group, because his level is indeed relatively average, even if the fans are brainwashed and like him, they are still far from being fanatical.
Therefore, every time you want to frantically hype your own popularity, you have to spend money to hire a group of actors to act as fanatic fans. Only in this way can you achieve an eye-catching effect.
But once, because the matchmaker didn’t confirm in advance, he made a big joke.
On that day, in order to save trouble, the person in charge of taking the opportunity directly summoned more than two hundred group performances of the war films that had just finished filming from the film and television city.
Because they were shooting war films, these group performances were almost all male. And all of them are five big three thick and gray-headed.
It turned out that such a group of people arrived at the airport and shouted slogans like “Kim, I love you”, which made Kim disgusting enough.
What’s more fcuking embarrassing was that there are still many group performances in it, and they came here wearing the military shoes of the Eighth Route Army on TV, which was regarded as ironclad proof.
What makes Kim unbearable most is that the people who saw this, shot the live video, and post it to the short video platform to mock him.
There are even short video bloggers who specialize in publishing gossip in the entertainment industry, using all kinds of obscure pronouns to mock Kim, saying that he can even buy fake fans to who can overturned cars, and sooner or later they will be confused enough to crash one to him.
The incident that time rushed directly to the hot search list. In the end, the Zhong family spent tens of millions looking for relationships and requesting deletion of posts before finally smoothing the matter.
Therefore, Kim will never allow such a thing to happen even once!
The female assistant didn’t dare to delay, and on the way to the airport, she began to ask people to inquire about Aurous Hill’s local resources, especially female resources, through various relationships.
You know, people who can find hundreds of young girls in a short period of time are very rare even in a big metropolis.
The group leader among the extras does not have so many resources in his hands.
Because the general group leader also docks a large number of group performances, not only young girls, but all kinds of men, women, and children.
To put it harder, even if it is a woman boss in a nightclub, there can be as many as hundreds of girls under her control.
Just when the female assistant thought she was desperate and could do nothing, one of her old classmates in Aurous Hill pushed her a WeChat business card, and then sent a voice message saying:
“Maggie, the person I pushed for you, You hurry up and contact her, her name is Wendy Willson, the general manager of Aurous Hill Shangmei etiquette company.”
“This woman is not easy. She has at least 500 or 600 local courtesy ladies in Aurous Hill. Now more than half of the full-time courtesy ladies in Aurous Hill have signed her company, and there are also many part-time courtesy ladies.”
“If you take the job from her, you can probably solve your needs if you find her. If she can’t solve them, then I guess no one in Aurous Hill can solve them. After all, there are two or three hundred young and beautiful girls are required in a short time. It’s hard to find.”
After listening to this voice, the female assistant was so excited that she was about to cry, and quickly replied: “Oh my dear sister, you saved my life! When I get to Aurous Hill, I will definitely take time to treat you to a big meal!”
The other party smiled and said, “What are you doing so politely with me? I just asked you about this person. You should contact her as soon as possible.
When to have dinner, I will wait for you to finish your work. I’m here to invite you!
You have come to Aurous Hill all the way, and I, the host, should do my best. How can I let you invite me to dinner? Our old classmates will laugh at me if it spreads.
The female assistant hurriedly said: “We have been in a relationship for so many years, so I won’t be polite to you anymore. I will come to you when I finish my business first!”
After that, she quickly added Wendy’s WeChat.
Wendy’s WeChat nickname has now been changed to “Shangmei etiquette Wendy”, and her profile picture has also been changed to a professional photo of herself wearing a professional suit and smiling.
Wendy has done a very good job during the recent period.
Because she changed the etiquette company, which misappropriated and even oppressed the etiquette ladies, and devoted herself to the welfare of the etiquette ladies group, so now the ladies in this business of the Aurous Hill trust her very much.
Moreover, with Charlie’s face, Orvel and several of his capable officers, including Abner, usually help her to introduce various resources, so she not only does a big business, but also in Aurous Hill, The competitors do not dare to provoke her.
Shangmei etiquette company has more and more business, and there are more and more etiquette ladies. The company has not only changed to a larger venue, but also successively bought several minibusses and buses to pick up etiquettes in the city and for various activities around.
In addition, Wendy also specially invested in the acquisition of a closed dance training studio, used the dance classroom as a training venue for etiquette ladies, and also hung up a huge sign and named it Shangmei etiquette training base.
In order to set up this training base, she specially invited ladies of etiquette who have participated in world-class events such as the Olympics and Asian Games to be teachers, which immediately improved the overall quality of the ladies working under her.
In the past, Aurous Hill, and even most of the courtesy ladies across the country, actually didn’t have any professional skills.
The industry does not have high requirements for them. It is just that they have to be beautiful, good-looking, and well-built.
If it is an ordinary business activity, let them be responsible for welcoming guests; if it is a large-scale exhibition, let them make a guest appearance.
Car models; sometimes some press conferences, political and business activities, they will also be used as a showcase, as long as they wear similar uniforms and stand on the scene with a smile, the whole event can be more perfect.
However, there is often a demand for high-end etiquette ladies in the market, such as various large-scale competitions and various official activities. At this time, some professionally trained etiquette ladies are needed.
Wendy has grasped this quality now, and the rank of Shangmei etiquette company has been improved a lot. Some large-scale official events in the city will find them to cooperate, so the popularity is also relatively high.
At this time, she happened to take the staff to class at the training center and saw someone adding her as a friend. The remark was: “Hello, my name is Maggie Chen, and a friend introduced a business to ask you for cooperation!”
Wendy didn’t think much about it, so she directly clicked through.
As soon as the other party’s friend applied, that woman immediately sent a voice: “Hello, Mr. Willson, because of business reasons, my side urgently needs 200 to 300 young girls. I will come to Aurous Hill Airport in two hours. We need fans to pick up from the plane, I wonder if you can help here?”
After hearing this voice, Wendy was a little surprised for a while.
She has been a courtesy lady for a long time, and the time to run Shangmei is not too short. She has taken a lot of all kinds of activities, but she has never taken up the job of pretending to be a fan and picking up the plane at the airport.
So, she replied a little apologetically: “I’m sorry, Miss Chen, we have not done this business before and are not very good at it. In order not to affect your business development, I suggest you find some professional companies to do this.”
Maggie became anxious when she heard this.
Looking for a company that specializes in this area?
Professional companies are not absent, but they all have to prepare resources in advance.
She can’t say that she can’t find the group leader George docked with. Even if she can find him, it is even more impossible for the other party to temporarily adjust the schedule for tomorrow morning to two hours later from now.
Because these people are not focusing on this project all the time. Those group performances are like taxi drivers. They are either running the single job or the work is in another place.
If you make an appointment, you will use the car at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. He can only make sure that no other work will be held at this time tomorrow.
Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to want to temporarily change the appointment time, and to change two to three hundred people in one go.
Because of this, Maggie felt that in Aurous Hill now, only Wendy could do this.
Because she is different from the group head, the group head is only an intermediary and has no absolute control over the following group performances, but Wendy is different.
She has her own company, and her own company directly signed hundreds of etiquette ladies.
The young ladies are all her employees, and she must have absolute control over her own employees.
Therefore, she hurriedly pleaded, “Mr. Willson, I really have no other choice now, so I can only ask you for help. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t done this kind of business.
In fact, this is very simple. It only requires you to coordinate. Well, when the time comes, let them appear at the designated place at the designated time, and then call out the slogans which we will share with you.”
After Wendy listened, she still didn’t want to take on such a job.
Under her management, the company has already embarked on the fast lane, all aspects of the operation are very smooth, the cash flow is also very abundant, and the profit margin is relatively high.
In this case, she really didn’t want to take on this kind of weird job.
Therefore, she was still very sorry and said: “I’m really sorry Miss Chen, this business does not match our company’s business, to be honest, I am not very interested in it, so please forgive me.”
When Kim on the side heard this, he immediately yelled at Maggie in anger, “*****! A company of etiquette, what the hell it has to do with me she says?! Tell her! 300 people, I will give 300,000, 1,000 per person!
This price is much higher than the normal price of the courtesy lady, as long as she is not a fool, she will definitely not refuse!”
Maggie had to continue to send voice messages to Wendy: “Mr. Willson, do you think this is okay? You will give us three hundred courtesy ladies. We only need them to pretend to be fans at the airport for about half an hour. As long as you agree, We can pay you 300,000 here!”
Three hundred thousand is indeed not a small amount.
Generally speaking, an ordinary extra actor, who works hard for a day, earns between 150 and 200.
The salary of a lady of manners is slightly higher, but it is basically in the range of 500 to 1,000 throughout the day.
There are not many courtesy ladies who can exceed 1,000 a day, unless you go to the auto show to make a guest car model, it is possible to get such a price.
However, Wendy carefully weighed it and decided to refuse, because she had never done anything like this, and she was worried that it might cause any trouble.
So she replied: “I’m really sorry Miss Chen, we really can’t pick this up.”
Maggie’s heart suddenly became extremely helpless.
She looked at Kim on the side and asked subconsciously, “Master, what do you think of this?”
Kim’s expression was very gloomy, he really didn’t expect that the other party would refuse to open up at this price.
Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Wendy’s decision as a way of holding back.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: “*****! It’s nothing more than asking for more money! Tell her, we won’t talk nonsense with her, a price of 600,000!”
Maggie hurriedly sent a voice message to Wendy: “Mr. Willson, then we will increase the remuneration to 600,000. Is this always okay?”
Wendy was indeed a little moved.
Today is a working day, and it is still Tuesday. Most of the work of a company like them that specializes in etiquette is concentrated on the weekend.
Because most business events are held on weekends.
In addition to the two busiest days on weekends, there are more things to do on Monday and Friday.
Because Monday and Friday are the first and last days of the working day, many companies and institutions will choose these two days for any major activities.
From Tuesday to Thursday, there is really not much work to do. Most of the etiquette ladies are resting these days, so the company also chooses to train them in batches during these days.
Today, there are hundreds of full-time courtesy ladies in her company who are resting. Except for one hundred and fifty people who are receiving training, the rest are taking a break.
Therefore, as long as she decides to take over this business, she can make sure that within ten minutes, she can sort out a specific list of three hundred people.
Just one trip to the airport, two or three hours before and after, can create 600,000 of income for employees and the company, which is indeed a bargain in Wendy’s view.
Although she had never dealt with this business herself, she thought she could try it out for pay of 600,000.
Since the cooperation agreement of Shangmei etiquette company is that the lady of etiquette will take the big head and the company will take the small head, so as long as these three hundred people go to the airport, everyone can have an income of more than 1,500. For them, It is also a rare and good opportunity.
Thinking of this, Wendy couldn’t help thinking: “Maggie is giving such a refreshing price. It seems that she is really anxious. According to market rules, the more urgent work, the more rewards you can get.
After all, in the industry, this can be regarded as an emergency. Rescue is like fire fighting. As long as you find someone to help in the industry, the price will be higher.
This is also the industry rule that everyone knows well, so even if I ask her for more, It is also natural and understandable.”
Immediately, Wendy said, “Well, Miss Chen, everyone is doing business here, so I won’t hide it anymore.”
“To be honest, you are really putting me in a stubborn situation. You will need people in two hours. Time is too tight; and if you want to have 300 people, the number is too big.”
“Many of my employees are now at work, and some are on vacation. If we coordinate 300 people, they will definitely have to put off a lot of work, which will have to pay Party A a lot of liquidated damages;”
“Even if employees who are on vacation are called to work, they have to double their salary according to the holidays.”
“And if we are in a hurry, everyone may not be able to use public transportation. Most people have to take a taxi. The airport is so far away, and the cost increases a lot…”
“So if you really want to do it here, I have a minimum of 1 million. If you think it’s ok, I will coordinate. If you think the price is too high, it doesn’t matter. You can look for other companies!”
Wendy herself is not a silly and sweet thing. Although she hasn’t done much business before, she has suffered from the sadness of the world in the past two years.
Therefore, she now knows the basic law of survival in society, which is to do her best to fight for her own interests.
Moreover, now she is not alone, and there are hundreds of young girls eating with her behind her.
Naturally, she wants to fight for more benefits for everyone.
When Maggie Chen heard that Wendy was asking for one million, she immediately looked at Kim on the side.
She is just Kim’s assistant. Whether the money should be spent depends entirely on his meaning.
Kim’s expression was extremely ugly at this time.
He gritted his teeth and said: “This woman’s appetite is really not small! She dares to ask for a million from me for such a small matter.
It is clear that she is going to knock me off! Do you really not think I’m being taken advantage of?”
Seeing Kim’s anger again, Maggie said hurriedly: “Master, then I reject her now?”
Kim glared at Maggie, and cursed: “Do you have any brains? Now refuse her, what should I do if no one is found later, when I arrive in Aurous Hill?
How do you send today’s press release? How do you buy hot search?”
After that, Kim said with a cold face: “You tell her that one million is one million, but I will pay 500,000 first, and the remaining 500,000 will be paid after the work is over.”
Kim’s thinking is very simple. For such a hasty matter, there is no time to sign the contract. Everything is verbally agreed upon. First, pay 500,000, and then it will be impossible to pay the remaining 500,000.
Regardless of Kim’s big family, he is also a first-line star, but the sunk cost he invested in the early stage was too large.
In order to maintain his “top-tier” label, he needs to continue spending money, so he pays special attention to cost.
What makes him even more annoying is that in order to pursue Sara, he chose the music line to cut in. In recent years, the singer’s ability to attract money is far worse than that of actors.
Regardless of how various performances, variety shows, and announcements can make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year in revenue, the cost of promotion and marketing behind each year is basically equal to the income.
If the huge gold mine of Sara cannot be settled soon, Kim even has the idea of quitting the entertainment industry.
