This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

Chapter 103: 0103



Chapter 103

The reality show "Random Entertainment" has come at just the right time. As spring begins and graduation season approaches in two months, it's the most urgent moment for students to find jobs.

However, college students who are actually in the job-seeking period won't watch workplace-themed shows that are too heavy on lecturing and showcasing, as that would only increase anxiety. But "Random Entertainment" is different - its entertainment value outweighs its professional aspects.

Its research value is only useful for industry insiders, after all, those people are crazy curious about how Random Entertainment operates and plans.

During the week waiting for the second episode to air, the public watched as the female trainees of Random Entertainment rapidly gained popularity, as if riding a rocket. Before even seeing the people, over a dozen fan accounts had already been opened.

Timetrain's popularity was equally impressive. Having officially debuted, they received many show invitations and traveled to several cities this week to record variety shows.

Fans were ecstatic, waking up to new content every day and being able to say goodnight to each other in 1-on-1 chat rooms before bed. Never had the life of a fan been so satisfying.

So this is what it feels like to be someone else's child.

News related to Random Entertainment basically topped the charts every day. Even if you couldn't see its name in the trending searches, its news was everywhere. There was also good news from the film and television company - Zhai Ke'er, who had returned to the industry two years ago, finally had a work released. Though unintentional, even playing a supporting role, Zhai Ke'er returned to the public eye due to the movie's success.

As it turns out, she's also an artist under Random Entertainment.

Riding on the coattails of Random Entertainment, Zhai Ke'er's popularity increased significantly. Her name was constantly mentioned by marketing accounts, making it difficult not to return to public attention.

Sometimes when luck comes, it's unstoppable. Timetrain's debut seemed to herald the coming of Random Entertainment's era. Everything was so natural, as if it were the trend of the times.

The second episode aired as scheduled, and the audience, who had been curious for a week, scratching their heads about the peripheral planning meeting, was finally about to see it.

[1:55 PM]

[Capsule Rest Area]

After lunch, the six girls were introduced to the capsule rest area by the enthusiastic seniors of Group A2. Here, the production team thoughtfully inserted a segment of the senior's explanation.

"Our company's lunch break is two hours long. Work starts at 2 PM. After you finish eating, you can go to the rest area over there and take a nap. Work notices will only come after 2 PM, so there's no need to rush."

"I'm just pretending to play with my company, I'm really playing with you guys. Considering my salary is being paid to your company every month, why don't you hire me?"

"...Ever since I started elementary school, I've never had such a long lunch break."

"Yes, their company stops responding at 1 PM and only starts working again at 2 PM."

"Your company and my company seem different."

The six of them were resting in the rest area, while Gao Xiayu and the others returned to their dormitory. During the lunch break, the entire company building turned off its lights and pulled down the curtains, becoming completely quiet.

Only the bullet screen comments were restless, with jealous viewers unable to bear seeing them rest.

With three minutes left until 2 PM, the company's broadcast system played sounds of birds chirping and streams flowing in the forest. The curtains automatically rose, and those who had set up small beds at their workstations got up. People from the rest areas also emerged with messy hair, heading towards the bathrooms with their belongings to tidy up their appearance.

"Alright, that's enough. No need to further emphasize that I'm living like an animal."

"I was wondering why Random Entertainment's recruitment was even more competitive than big companies. So you guys have it this good?"

"Random Entertainment only does internal referrals, not open recruitment. This internship opportunity is really rare."

"I can't even imagine what kind of kind, happy, beautiful, and confident person I would be if I had a job that paid over 10,000 a month, with doubled bonuses, 9-to-5 hours, weekends off, and lunch breaks. I would wake up every morning and the first thing I'd do is open the window and say hi to the birds!"

"Can someone from a cushy position make room for me to get in?"

"Indeed, I've only seen people fired by Random Entertainment, never anyone who voluntarily resigned."

At 2 PM sharp, software notification sounds rang out throughout the company.

[Afternoon work content sent]

The six girls, who had finished tidying up their appearance, also received a notification from Jiang Juyou, asking them to go to the meeting room upstairs to prepare for watching the meeting.

The New Employee Department in the morning and the A&R Department in the afternoon are Random Entertainment's largest and most important departments. Jiang Juyou led them to gain a deeper understanding of these two departments. Later, others would need to lead them to understand the work of other departments, and decide which department they want to go to first today.

Since Jiang Juyou personally led them to experience the work content of those two major departments, she naturally hoped they would choose in this direction.

At this moment, the scales in Ling Cheng's heart were constantly swaying.

This morning, they had been circling around downstairs, not yet having contact with the true core of Random Entertainment upstairs.

Now that they've finally come up, their curiosity has become even stronger.

Jiang Juyou's assistant was waiting in the elevator hall. Seeing the dozen or so of them come up, she led them to the meeting room. Pei Luming curiously asked, "...Does Jiang usually come to choose the craftsmanship for small cards?"

"Yes, but that meeting was canceled today," the assistant, knowing what they were curious about, said in advance, "The meeting you're attending is about the next album."

Pei Luming: "...Huh?"

"Wow, the next one is coming already?"

"Wasn't it said that the activity period centers around winter and summer vacations?"

"The second album is ready so quickly?"

When they arrived, people from other departments and groups were walking towards the meeting room with their computers. The assistant brought them in and pointed out a place, telling them to move chairs and find a place to sit themselves.

Just as they had moved chairs and sat down for a few seconds, Jiang Juyou, who had changed into a different outfit, appeared. She was wearing a cream-colored turtleneck sweater, her hair loosely tied back, with some strands escaping around her ears. Due to her quick pace, these strands were fluttering.

Seeing Jiang Juyou appear, Gao Xiayu and the others instinctively wanted to stand up to greet her, but Jiang Juyou raised her hand to stop them, "No need to get up, let's begin."

She walked to the main seat, pulled out the chair and sat down. The staff on the side began to display the PowerPoint.

They thought this part of the content would be skipped, after all, they weren't allowed to hear anything during the morning's big meeting. But as the person on the screen spoke, the production team surprisingly didn't cut this segment out.

"Based on the debut album and group concept, the result we discussed with Jiang last time is still to continue the concept. The theme has been set as 'video games', and this time we'll mainly discuss around this concept."

This meeting was actually a brainstorming session. The long table was filled with snacks and drinks. Jiang Juyou leaned back in her chair, holding a bottle of oolong tea. Seeing the word [Game] written in pixel style on the PowerPoint, she suddenly suggested, "How about actually making a game?"

As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Jiang Juyou put down her oolong tea and massaged her finger joints, "The promotion period for the debut album is..."

"Two months," someone beside her supplemented.

She looked at that person, "Is the schedule full for these two months?"

"Yes, except for the days when they need to go to school after the semester starts, the weekend schedules are all full. They also have quite a few schedules arranged for after school."

Jiang Juyou thought for a moment and tapped the table, "Then let's launch the game two months later, integrate the concept into the game, and it's better if we control the level progress. This way, fans will have the fun of looking for spoilers or playing the game."

"How about this kind of game," said the girl, pointing at the PowerPoint, "Pixel style, clearing levels one by one, like a princess rescuing a prince type."

"Hahaha, princess and prince, so cute! Should we make princess and prince dolls? This can be added to the peripheral candidate list."

"A sickly prince and a brave, clever princess, I love this CP!"

The five people behind: "..."

Feeling a bit strange.

At this moment, the fans in the bullet screen comments were also feeling quite strange.

"I'm listening to them discussing how to fleece me like a leek. Strange, why am I so excited?!"

"Great! I'm the brave and clever princess!"

"What an odd pairing, I love it..."

"They're releasing figurines? Oh my god, not blind boxes for once, thank heavens!"

Bystanders were busy enjoying the show, trying to watch both the screen and the bullet comments, overwhelmed by it all.

"It's getting intense, seeing how fans are teaching the company to fleece them."

"What a brilliant plan! I'm so angry! Aaaaaah! @My idol's company, come learn this!"

"Afraid fans would be bored during the hiatus, so they decided to make a game for fans to play. My idol's company did the same, but not for a comeback, just purely because they saw the leeks had grown and wanted to harvest."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was great. Jiang Juyou even encouraged the trainees to speak up and participate. At first, no one dared to reach for the snacks on the table, until Jiang Juyou opened a pack and had someone pass it to Pei Luming, who had been eyeing it longingly. Only then did everyone start eating.

"For this kind of pre-promotion, I hope we can make it as mainstream as possible. We can't always stay within our circle; we need to find ways to attract people from outside."

Jiang Juyou propped her head on her hand, writing a few words on her iPad: Target audience?

"First, we need to determine who we're targeting with our promotion, what our target demographic is..." Jiang Juyou looked at everyone. The meeting room fell silent for a few seconds as everyone pondered.

Someone said, "I don't think we need to cast too wide a net. Those fangirls are our target audience."

"Me?"

"Well, well, coming for me, are you?"

"I've already got one foot in the door, don't worry. I'll be fully in in a few days."

"Having good promotional strategies is great, but attracting fans ultimately depends on the artists. We need to let them showcase their charm more in the later stages."

"Right, I heard the group variety show is already being planned?"

"That's still just in its infancy. We can only start filming in the summer."

Seeing them discuss topics that shouldn't be mentioned, Jiang Juyou quickly tapped the table to stop them. "Hey, hey, hey, they're still here."

"Oh, right!"

The five of them blinked: "..."

"It's okay, you can tell me quietly [ear emoji]"

"I'm not part of Timetrain, you can tell me."

"It's so painful, hearing about such exciting plans but being told we have to wait until summer to see them!"

The topic was brought back on track. A girl hugging a bag of chips casually said, "...Actually, if we don't consider budget limitations, we could include all the game types we want to make."

Jiang Juyou raised an eyebrow at her.

Jiang Juyou: The company is going to be emptied out again.
