Chapter 12: It's just a little bit, it doesn't matter.
It was almost midnight when we arrived at the hotel.
However, for big cities, this is when the nightlife truly begins.
The hotel is located not far from the Workers' Stadium in Beijing.
The nightclubs and bars there are very famous online.
Various internet celebrities, rich kids, and even some stars go there to play.
Shen Jian was quite eager to see it for himself.
However, after looking at the account balance in my wallet, I finally gave up the idea.
[Current balance: 206007.00 yuan]
I've earned over 200,000 yuan in the past few months just from tips.
I reckon they wouldn't have lasted a single round against those bar girls in the past.
Besides, if I were to sign with Yixin Entertainment...
Staying in hotels in Beijing all the time is not a long-term solution.
We'll need to rent a place later, which will be all expenses.
To become a celebrity, you have to pay for your own living expenses in the early stages.
Even with the company's resources secured, when the benefits will begin to materialize remains uncertain.
Many people believe that once they sign a contract, the agency will give them work, they will earn millions in film fees, and they will enjoy endless glory.
In reality, most entertainers probably don't earn as much as online streamers.
This is also why most people who become famous in the entertainment industry today come from wealthy families.
In this industry, it's hard to last long without money.
But if you have money, you can endure it slowly without worrying about the cost.
Training new employees also incurs costs for the company; it can't just work for love without expecting anything in return.
These resources will be recouped from the artist's earnings after they become famous.
Therefore, Shen Jian is considering the long term.
We still need to be a little more careful with our spending.
The live stream must continue.
He believed that with the support of his "family," he should be able to make it through in his large apartment in Beijing without much trouble.
[Illiterate (Level 2): 90/200] (Reward: 2 points.)
[King of Jokes (Level 1): 77/100] (Reward: 1 point.)
[Related Talent Tree: Not yet activated]
[Current character setting points: 0]
Back in the hotel room.
Shen Jian glanced at his character profile completion status.
The illiterate persona is still half-realized.
As for the "King of Jokes" persona, it should be fully utilized by the time this episode of "Mercury Intelligence Agency" airs.
You can light up the talent tree once then.
I took out my phone and checked the backend of my Douyin account; there were tons of private messages and comments.
Shen Jian thought for a moment.
I simply opened the live stream window.
He just finished recording a variety show, and his family is definitely waiting for news from him. There will be plenty of content to talk about during the live stream.
Soon people started entering the live stream room.
[Oh my god? A live stream at this hour?]
[You've been slacking off, you haven't broadcasted for days.]
[How's the Mercury record coming along?]
[I saw your video today; someone filmed you chatting with Lao Xue!]
[What? Really?]
[Damn, tell me! Were you there?]
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
Perhaps because it was the middle of the night, the number of people didn't increase very quickly.
However, it also surpassed 20,000 online users.
Shen Jian: "Family members, I've lived up to your expectations, I've finished recording Mercury!"
[666.]
[Did you see Lao Xue?]
Shen Jian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I saw it, and I even chatted with Teacher Xue Zhiqian for a while."
[Damn, he got me!]
[Even illiterate people are on variety shows now, I'm devastated.]
Is Lao Xue handsome in real life?
[Where's Da Zhangwei? Is his head spinning?]
[How's Shen Mengchen doing?]
[You don't actually want to go into the entertainment industry, do you?]
There are a lot of problems.
Shen Jian pointed to the exhibition hall: "Family members, bring some gifts, and I'll have a good chat with you all."
[Didn't you upgrade to a sports car?]
[Didn't you see me putting on my sunglasses?]
[You illiterate idiot, you come here begging for food right away, hurry up and tell me!]
[He bought a sports car! Let's talk about Lao Xue!]
Shen Jian looked at the gifts with a serious expression: "Why are you guys, the level 40 or 50 guys, acting like this?"
All you ever talk about is sports cars, it's so tacky. How am I supposed to have a conversation with you about that?
Let's send rockets instead. Only something as technologically advanced and romantic as rockets is worthy of tonight's star stories.
[One more hilarious joke]
[Damn it, do you have any shame?]
[Seriously, aren't you illiterate? Why are you asking for gifts like a poet?]
[It's so unfamiliar, so completely unfamiliar.]
[XX has given away the number one Douyin account!]
Shen Jian clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your support, elder brother!"
Are you blind? I'm a woman!
"Oh, sorry, I misread it. Thank you, ma'am!"
[Speak quickly!]
Shen Jian thought to himself that there was never a "big sister" in his live stream, so the person who suddenly came today was probably there because of the celebrity.
Are you a fan of Xue Zhiqian?
Or perhaps it belongs to someone else.
While it's somewhat unethical to accept gifts from other people's fans.
But if you have a lot of morals, it doesn't matter.
"Teacher Xue is really handsome in person, and he's a super nice person, you know? I was so nervous when I was recording, and he came over and told me not to be nervous."
[I always said Lao Xue's character is impeccable!]
[Wow, I'm so envious! I want to chat with Lao Xue too!]
Has he lost weight recently?
[XXX gave away Douyin account number one]
They gave me another one.
Shen Jian: "Thank you, sister."
[You're not making this up, are you?]
Shen Jian stretched out his palm, palm facing up, then put his middle and ring fingers together and stood them up.
"I swear! I'm telling the truth! Teacher Xue is really amazing!"
[Pfft, hahaha.]
[666, I love your swearing gesture!]
[Hey bro, you're not a DJ, don't scratch the discs, hahaha.]
[? ? ? ]
What are you talking about?
[Children should meddle in adults' affairs.]
[Laughing so hard...]
[One more hilarious joke]
The live stream chat became chaotic.
Gestures are also a meme.
Shen Jian withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and then continued to praise the guests from Mercury.
[XXX sends out carnival gifts]
Shen Jian: "Thank you for the cigarettes, sister!"
[That's right, I'm going to sleep.]
[Wow, as expected, it's the eldest sister seeing Hua Zi off.]
[Damn it! Just by participating in a show and praising a few celebrity guests, I can get a meal. I hate it! I should have just gone to Hengdian World Studios instead of going to university! (╥﹏╥)]
[...]
The live stream lasted about an hour.
Shen Jian looked at the backstage and saw that he had collected about 70,000 to 80,000 sound waves.
Moreover, the meme-worthy character design has been successfully implemented several times.
Know when to stop.
I'm going to end the broadcast and go to sleep.
...
...
Early the next morning.
Shen Jian then received a WeChat message from Lin Youyou, asking him to meet her at the company that afternoon.
I originally planned to look at houses in the surrounding area.
In that case, we can only wait and see.
On the way, he asked Lin Youyou and learned roughly what the meeting would entail.
Yang Tianzhen wanted to talk to him about the upcoming contract signing.
Although "Mercury Intelligence Agency" will not air until next week.
However, Lin Youyou's team has already made a preliminary judgment that there is a very high probability that the performance will exceed expectations.
So the next question is which resource to get and which contract to sign.
According to what Lin Youyou said before, Yixin Entertainment's signing models are generally divided into four types.
One type is a client-side business contract, such as when a top-tier celebrity entrusts Yixin Entertainment with their "public relations" duties, which is a separate business contract.
In addition, there are three types of resource contracts: A, B, and C.
Among them, the A-level resource contract is the best. Being able to get such a contract means that you are an artist that the company is promoting and has the potential to become a top star.
Take Wang Anyu, for example, who is preparing to become a celebrity this year.
As for B-level resource contracts, they will also receive resources from the company, but they will be much worse than A-level contracts. Moreover, the management and packaging of celebrities are on completely different levels.
