Chapter 772: 771. Breaking through the 40 million mark Chapter 772: 771. Breaking through the 40 million mark Because of a viral video that robustly attracted a wave of new fans, Tang Shu was currently sitting in the Starshine dia office, being… nagged by his own top agent.
“I’ve been talking for so long, did you actually listen to anything I said, oh great ancestor?”
Luo Lin, parched from speaking, grabbed the tea beside her and gulped it down.
Tang Shu nodded, “I understood. My fan base has been growing too quickly, and it’s about to break through the forty million landmark, so you all are fretting over what benefits to give the fans.”
“Exactly! So what on earth are your thoughts?”
What a concise summary!
Luo Lin pricked up her ears, ready to listen, but she was t with a very indifferent look from Tang Shu. She swore, she absolutely saw the disdain in her artist’s eyes!
“Aren’t you Starshine dia’s number one agent, and as the head of the PR departnt, shouldn’t you be providing with a few options to choose from?”
“…”
Luo Lin was left speechless by this remark.
“True, but dear , if you could reflect upon your conscience, when have you ever listened to ? You’ve entirely transford the previous fan benefits that we organized. Don’t you know that yourself?”
Speaking of this, Luo Lin felt a mixture of pride and helplessness.
The pride ca from the fact that the events Tang Shu had organized were not only highly effective but also incredibly creative; they were well received by the loyal fans and even set a trend within the industry. The helplessness was because the starting points previously set were too high, and the events were so unexpectedly brilliant that the PR departnt’s ideas now seed insufficient to satisfy the fans’ expectations.
As an agent, Luo Lin was in a state of delightful agony.
Hearing this, Tang Shu actually nodded in agreent, “You’re right, your plans… tsk.”
Luo Lin: “…”
What’s with this contemptuous tone?
All the PR staff’s painstakingly conceived A-grade plans just dismissed by that single scornful sound coming from you?
Ouch! Good heavens, please send soone to take care of this enchanting being!
Luo Lin took a deep breath and tried to smile, “Then, oh great ancestor, what do you suggest we do this ti?”
Tang Shu actually gave it so serious thought, nesting on the sofa in the rest area, habitually pinching the cushion in his arms, and after a long pause, ca up with an idea.
“If I invite them to the Imperial Capital to watch a performance, could the company reimburse their travel expenses?”
“Performance? What performance?”
As for reimbursing travel expenses, they’d done it before, so it was entirely possible to sort out.
“My performance.”
“…Wait, why would you have a performance?”
Upon hearing these two words, Luo Lin tensed up reflexively, “Hey great ancestor, you’ve not done sothing incredible behind my back again, have you? Did you accept a comrcial performance on your own?”
“You know, I’ve been working with Teacher Ke’s theater group since late September, playing a role. Next month is my debut.”
It was already late October and Tang Shu had been “employed” at the theater group for a good while. He’d mastered the role of Qingyi quite thoroughly, having rehearsed four or five tis with Master Yan’s troupe, and had reached the minimum standard to take the stage.
“I’ve received a notice from the theater group; there’s a performance on November 10th at the Imperial Capital’s First Theater. Tickets will go on sale online five days in advance. If you think this plan works, you can let Shen Yan buy the tickets online.”
The Imperial Capital’s First Theater is the leading theater venue, and Master Yan’s featured stage plays are of 500-person capacity, which allows the audience to see the actors on stage very clearly.
The more Luo Lin thought about this suggestion, the more feasible it seed. What could be more thrilling than seeing your idol perform on stage in person?
“Your idea is excellent; it’s settled then!”
The tickets for the play weren’t too expensive, Starshine could afford it!
That’s how generous they were!
Seeing Luo Lin’s face filled with excitent, ready to give it a try, Tang Shu smiled with her lips parted.
“Do you feel like my plan is better than what your PR team ca up with?”
“…”
Luo Lin’s expression changed visibly from excited to blank at the speed of light.
Geniuses, indeed, are the most annoying.
***
The weather gradually cooled down as the ti quietly moved into November.
By the ti the seventh episode of “Journey Together” aired, Tang Shu’s Weibo followers had broken the 40-million mark.
At Starshine dia, Shen Yan, who was always watching the data, cheered loudly with a “Oh yeah!”, rubbing her hands together and posting a ssage under their boss’s Weibo.
[Tang Shu VIP: To celebrate reaching 40 million followers, we are now drawing 300 lucky fans to give away theater tickets, as well as reimbursing round trip travel and accommodation expenses…]
After much discussion between Luo Lin and Tang Shu, they finally reached a consensus on giving away theater tickets. However, the operation was slightly altered; in order not to affect other theatergoers, the 300 lucky fans would be divided won over three performances for the giveaway.
For these three performances, Tang Shu was the actor, playing the role of Qingyi in two of them, and the other was a role organized by Teacher Ke, currently in the rehearsal stage, expected to run towards the end of November.
With the update of the Weibo ssage, a huge wave of fans hit, leaving comnts in the section.
“What, what, this ti the fan feedback is actually giving away theater tickets?”
“I don’t quite understand, what’s that got to do with our uncle?”
“I’ve been looking forward to the fan feedback news for a long ti now, and every ti uncle gives us benefits, they’re always so creative; it’s just that this ti I also can’t figure it out—”
“emmmm~~~ my brain suddenly feels inadequate!”
Yes, most fans were puzzled by this ssage.
In fact, Shen Yan hadn’t ntioned in the content that Tang Shu also participated in the play. Following Luo Lin’s logic, it was intended to surprise the fans!
Afterward, many long-ti fans in the comnts section started guessing.
“Doesn’t matter what it is, I bet there’s a surprise, and a big one at that!”
“When has uncle ever played by the book? No need to talk, I’m securing that ticket!”
“Exactly, the most important thing right now is to secure one of the 300 tickets!”
“Sohow, I feel uncle is holding back a big move; I’m kind of looking forward to what’s it going to be?”
“This ti it’s really mysterious! But the more mysterious it is, the more powerful the follow-up will be. So let’s just look forward to it!”
“Uncle has never let us down, there’s nothing to worry about, just get ready and go for it—”
…
Everyone joined the mass floor stepping, vying to secure one of the 300 spots.
At the sa ti, another account of Tang Shu’s, “For Giving”, was concluding its series of videos on herb gathering.
The herb gathering tutorial series, which had gone on for over a month with nearly 20 videos, added to the previous Processing dicinal Materials series, ant the account had released a total of over 100 videos.
