Chapter 157 Big Red Big Purple(1/2)
Since the online music festival ended, Xu Xiaoling found that the people and things around him were changing day by day.
First of all, she learned from Lin Jing that the sales of "Drunken Queen" on Big Goose Music had increased significantly, and it directly entered the top three best-sellers.
This made her and the other six members of T9 extremely excited. You must know that this was something they had never expected to happen. Even when they were the most popular in the past, their single sales could only be within one to two weeks of their release. Once it enters the top ten best sellers, it will plummet all the way down, and you can't even touch the edge of the top twenty best sellers.
But this time, "Drunk Queen" is really different. Starting from the second week, sales surged, and then entered the top three best-sellers in the third week. It seems that it may even continue to hit the market.
Secondly, the number of job offers and notices from T9 suddenly increased to the point where Lin Jing was smiling and frowning every day, with no choice.
Since Jin Ying'er quit the group, the company has allowed the seven of them to develop independently. The job offers and announcements they can get are usually for individuals, and almost none of the T9 group as a whole has been sent to them.
But now things are suddenly different. The latest job offers and announcements are sent to all of them.
In other words, they can unite again and take over the work as a team.
This has always been what Tong Xiaoling has hoped for. From the beginning, she did not hesitate to remortgage her house and spend money to buy songs just to realize this wish. Now she has obviously achieved it.
Finally, the T9 team has more people.
Originally, the most basic configuration for each of them was their manager Lin Jing, plus a small assistant.
Three people like Chu Xiaoling, Qu Qingcheng and Zhou Zhou, because they are relatively popular and usually have a lot of work, will be assigned an additional execution agent, that's all.
But things have changed in the past two days. The headquarters of Fresh Fruit Cloud has assigned each of them an executive agent, plus a team of five makeup artists and stylists.
By the way, there is also a nutritionist.
The treatment feels quite luxurious, and the troops are strong.
All these things made Chu Xiaoling realize that their T9 seemed to be becoming "popular".
And it became "red" very quickly, so fast that she was caught off guard.
It was like they had just participated in a talk show and returned to the company. The bus had just stopped and everyone on the bus had not gotten off the bus when they saw the door open and a group of people getting on the bus from outside.
"Welcome home our big star!"
The first person to take the lead is Liu Qirong, the company’s CEO.
He clapped his hands and said loudly with a smile on his face.
Behind Liu Qirong, there were also the company's vice president and the directors of several important departments of the company. They all got into the car with smiles on their faces and applauded along with Liu Qirong.
Everyone in the car felt flattered. They didn't expect such a fight and couldn't help but stand up.
Lin Jing quickly greeted the unexpected company management: "Hello, Mr. Liu, Mr. Xu..."
Seeing this, other people also said hello.
"No need to be restrained, you're welcome..."
Liu Qirong waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then said: "The main reason is that I heard that you will be back today, so I specially put aside the work I was doing and came to pick you up in person, so that I can come and see our big star. We...well, everyone has worked hard, all of you have worked hard, and I thank you on behalf of the company."
These words are really touching. The boss of the company and a group of management personnel came to greet me in person and even picked me up in the car. It definitely felt a bit grand.
Everyone in T9 was confused. Looking at Liu Qirong and the smiling faces of the management, they felt that the scene in front of them was not real.
In their impression, only when T9 debuted and their first album was a hit, the company boss greeted them.
That time it seemed that he was not as enthusiastic as this time. Liu Qirong only stood in front of the company gate waiting for them, instead of "cannot wait" to welcome them on the bus like this time.
"Come on, girls, let's get off the car and have a small meeting first after returning to the company. Then I have reserved a seat at Cuiying Pavilion tonight, so we will treat it as a celebration banquet for you."
Liu Qirong smiled and waved his hand, extremely heroic.
When everyone heard "Cuiying Pavilion", they couldn't help but be speechless.
It is the best restaurant in the local area, and it is a Michelin four-star restaurant. It is the best in terms of environment and price.
Liu Qirong booked a restaurant like this for a celebration banquet. It was so generous and a bit heroic.
Everyone in T9 and their team got out of the car and walked into the company.
Along the way, everyone paid attention to them.
Liu Qirong also made a point of applauding as he walked, and motioned for others to applaud together.
As a result, everyone in the company applauded knowingly, and the whole atmosphere was really like welcoming a hero's triumph.
Under such a situation, no matter what thoughts are in their hearts, they will be infected. Not only are the seven people in T9 high-spirited, but even Lin Jing is also in a happy mood, with a smile on her lips all the time.
After entering the conference room, Liu Qirong spoke first, which basically affirmed the performance of T9's new song and asked them to keep up their efforts.
It was only then that everyone at T9 figured out that the sales of "Drunk Queen" were better than they had imagined. Although the new week's data had not yet come out, the company had obtained the sales from Big Goose Music in advance.
According to internal news, "Drunk Queen" has already reached the top of the best-seller list.
The best-selling one...
Several people in T9 couldn't help but look at each other, with deep surprise in their eyes.
This was an achievement they had never achieved even when they were at their peak.
Unexpectedly, just when they were facing disbandment, they suddenly hit the top spot with a single.
People often say that life is impermanent, nothing more than this.
This good news was enough for everyone in T9 to digest, and they were all shocked to the point where their minds went blank.
After the meeting, Liu Qirong asked everyone in T9 to take a short rest before attending the celebration banquet in the evening, but called out Chu Xiaoling alone.
As Lin Jing's manager, she naturally did not leave and stayed with Chu Xiaoling.
Liu Qirong said: "Xiao Ling, this new single is so good this time. As the leader of T9, you have contributed a lot. I am very happy and want to thank you for the company... Well, I heard that you mortgaged your house to buy the song.
In this way, I will compensate you with the money, and the company will also buy out the mortgaged house for you as a reward for you."
This is what giving money as a reward means...
Xu Xiaoling pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and said "Thank you, Mr. Liu", and accepted it naturally.
What you get in your hand is yours. Others have given it to you. If you don’t take it, it will be for nothing.
She is no longer a young girl who just debuted. If she had been in the past, she might have been embarrassed to take it, but after experiencing so much in the past two years, her skin has naturally become thicker, so she doesn't feel guilty at all.
Liu Qirong took a deep look at Chu Xiaoling and then said: "There is one more thing I want to talk to you about."
"You say."
Xu Xiaoling looked like he was listening carefully to the leader's speech.
Liu Qirong continued: "It's like this. Mr. Chen Jingxiang gave me a call before and said that the movie "I Want to Take You on a Travel" that you shot before was not finished yet. During this time, you were busy with the production of your new single.
Things have delayed a lot of time, so he hopes that you can return to the crew and finish filming that drama first."
Xu Xiaoling blinked and replied: "I follow the company's arrangements."
She didn't say she was willing or unwilling, which was a wonderful answer.
Liu Qirong glanced at Lin Jing and continued to explain: "Our company also has investment in this drama, and the shareholders attach great importance to it, and I can't be perfunctory with Mr. Chen. After all, there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future... Well,
I have communicated with Mr. Chen in advance, and he understands your current situation, so he will try his best to let the director concentrate on your scenes and shoot them in a short time, so that you can finish the film in advance."
After a slight pause, Liu Qirong asked Xu Xiaoling in a friendly voice: "What do you think of this arrangement?"
Chu Xiaoling was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Liu Qirong would ask this question. It felt like he was discussing with her, rather than the boss of the company ordering her to do something.
This feeling was very novel, which made her a little uncomfortable, but it also made her think of more things, but she was just not sure.
Chu Xiaoling didn't say anything. Liu Qirong turned to look at Lin Jing and asked in a soft voice: "Lin Jing, what do you think?"
Lin Jing had been listening by the side and nodded: "Mr. Liu, I think it's okay."
Although her face didn't show much expression, there was a wave of excitement in her heart.
Liu Qirong actually lowered his body and spoke to her with such an attitude. This was completely different from the previous period.
You must know that before "Drunk Queen" was released, Liu Qirong's eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose every time he saw her.
Now like this...
All I can say is that he is very changeable.
Compared to Chu Xiaoling, Lin Jing can think of more things and knows some things well, but she won't show any clues on her face.
"Xiao Ling, what do you mean?"
Liu Qirong asked again.
When Xu Xiaoling heard that Lin Jing had agreed, he smiled and nodded, repeating what he said before: "I will listen to the company's arrangements."
Although the words are the same, the meaning is completely different.
Liu Qirong smiled: "Okay, it's decided. You guys should go back and have a rest. We'll have a good talk at the company celebration banquet in the evening."
Lin Jing and Chu Xiaoling walked out of the conference room.
Just then, Liu Qirong's female secretary, dressed in a flashy dress, walked over and met her head-on.
Lin Jing was about to say hello, but she didn't expect that the other party had already spoken first: "Manager Lin, Xiao Ling."
While speaking, the female secretary was smiling all over her face, without any trace of her indifferent attitude.
Lin Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Secretary Xun, Mr. Liu is still inside."
