Chapter 248 is a hit even before it airs.
On what was supposed to be an ordinary day, a long-silent group chat suddenly erupted into chaos.
Princess, please get rich: "Sisters, wake up! Day and Night Entertainment has launched a talent show! 'Star Making Lab,' go watch the trailer! My long-dormant talent show spirit has been instantly ignited!!!!! I can't wait to watch it!"
The escaped female monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain: "Wow, I watched it a long time ago. The quality is amazing! The 3-second preview video shows even more beautiful faces behind pretty ones. I love them all. Is this right? Can they all debut?"
The old man who went on a rampage cosplays a maid and the handsome young man goes: "I cried. It's been so long since I've seen a talent show with no ugly men. It's good for my eyes. I've really had enough of those ugly contestants."
Lina Beier: "So none of the sisters ever left. Our group can be lively again."
The escaped female monkey from Huaguo Mountain: "Outrageous! The full episode hasn't even aired yet, and it's already trending on Weibo. The contestants all have their own supertopics, and some of them already have tens of thousands of fans. It's so hot!"
The escaped female monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain: "The voting channel is open, anyone want to invest? [Evil grin]"
The old man who went on a rampage cosplays a maid and the handsome young man goes: "Investing is risky. I'll wait and see. I bet this draft will be the most bloody and turbulent in history, and the one where investors lose the most."
Lina Beier: "@RampagingOldManCosplayMaidGoingHandsomeYoungMan You're right, but I've already invested in TOT, and more than one of them. I can't stand it anymore! I don't need them all to debut, but Headband Guy absolutely has to debut! Please!"
Princess, please get rich: "I also love the headband guy's face. He's super popular right now! I heard he comes from a professional dance troupe, so his dance skills are definitely top-notch. He's a sure-fire star!"
The escaped female monkey from Huaguo Mountain: "The information of these contestants has been thoroughly investigated on Douban. I heard there are many ordinary people among them, and their information is impossible to find. I'm getting more and more excited for my husband, Anohana."
The old man who went on a rampage cosplays as a maid and the handsome young man goes: "Do the talent scouts at Day and Night Entertainment use microscopes to find people? When it comes to discovering high-value contestants, Day and Night Entertainment is the best! I declare that I will be a lifelong fan of President Bai's career, and I beg President Bai to keep the talent show business going forever!"
Lina Beier: "Wow, the mentor list was just announced, and it's trending again! It's all top-tier celebrities!"
The escaped female monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain: "Yu Xinglan doesn't count... but he's the only one who came from an idol background, which makes sense."
The old man who went berserk, cosplaying as a maid, and the handsome young man going: "Huh? Holy crap, he's here as a mentor! I used to be a fan of his for a while, but I remember he disappeared for a long time. My ex-husband has made a powerful comeback???"
Lina Beier: "Whispering, me too. He should be considered the number one tragic hero, right?"
……
This group is a small group of girls who are fans of talent shows. They are not fans of any particular star, but rather a group of young girls who simply enjoy the talent show process.
Moreover, they are typical "March Show Fans," meaning they will stop being fans within three months of the show ending, focusing on falling in love with each new face they like and always being attracted to fresh ones.
With the release of the program trailer, the group chat was buzzing with discussion.
It wasn't just them; almost everyone who had ever been involved in any entertainment industry, whether it was K-pop, Chinese entertainment, or just a casual observer, was drawn in by this unprecedented buzz.
The Chinese entertainment industry hasn't seen so many fresh faces in a long time. Short video platforms have seen a surge of derivative videos, with various science popularization, prediction, and reaction videos emerging one after another, pushing the show's popularity to new heights time and time again.
The show "Styling Lab" became a hit even before it aired, successfully making its debut.
After it became popular, many things became easier to do.
When the project manager pushed open the door to Bai Li's office, the company's investment hotline had already been ringing off the hook.
"Mr. Bai, excuse me, we urgently need to discuss advertising slots for the program with you. In addition to the advertisers we contacted before, we have added 239 more potential brands, including 47 leading brands and 12 international luxury brands."
Recently, the project manager has been visiting Bai Li's office much more often these past two days.
After all, with the show's broadcast approaching, many major decisions need to be finalized by Bai Li's side, such as the issue of advertising slots.
Bai Li had anticipated this situation, so she did not sign any contracts with advertisers in the early stages—the prices for advertising space varied greatly depending on the time period.
Before, Day and Night Entertainment had never produced a talent show, so advertisers were unsure about the show's popularity and reception, resulting in less than ideal pricing for advertising slots.
But times have changed. The potential of "Star-Making Lab" is obvious to all, and the price of advertising space is not what it used to be.
This time, the business director came with the project manager, and he readily handed over the list of brands: "These are the top sponsors selected by the marketing department based on public opinion. Please take a look."
Bai Li casually flipped through the list and found many familiar names.
They are all major international brands, and they have plenty of money.
Bai Li chuckled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Advertising space has always been a matter of whoever offers the most gets the ad space.
Especially with programs that have such high viewership, the competition for advertising space is even more intense.
Bai Li plans to raise prices on the spot: "The original plan remains unchanged, but the price of the original advertising space will be tripled, and we will give priority to contacting major brands."
The price increase of three times is just right to the acceptable threshold of those big brands.
Other smaller brands have basically already exited this competition, so there's no need for them to stay in touch.
Bai Li calculated the huge advertising fee that was about to be received and sighed inwardly: Why is it so difficult to spend even a little bit of money?
The initial investment in talent shows can be recouped through advertising revenue.
Not to mention the additional commercial revenue that can be generated after the show airs.
what happened?
This time, it seems she's about to make a fortune again.
After reviewing the list, Bai Li returned it to the project manager.
The follow-up coordination will be handled by a professional team, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
She only needs to focus on the big picture.
As a seasoned and experienced employee, the project manager immediately assigned personnel to carry out the instructions upon receiving them.
With the show about to air, expectations are high, and it's a time when they can't afford any mishaps.
The project manager had just left when a new internal call came in.
It's the personnel department.
"Mr. Bai, Yu Xinglan and his agent have arrived at the company. Would you like to come for the interview in person?"
