This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss-Chapter 14: 0
Chapter 14
After setting up the concert, Jiang Juyou propped up her head and sighed, "Just one concert has exhausted all my brain cells."
She glanced down at the memo list on her phone, and there were still so many things that needed to be added. Thinking of this, she sighed again.
"What is one-on-one chat again?" Jiang Juyou didn't find this when she did her research before, but she could still look it up now. She entered the keywords into the search bar and many highlighted words jumped out immediately.
There are apps like this both domestically and abroad. You need to pay a subscription fee to use them. For fans, it's a one-on-one chat, for artists, it's a big group chat.
After reading it, Jiang Juyou tilted her head, "Wouldn't screenshots of this just spread everywhere?" After saying this, she refuted herself, "Oh right, it can be set so screenshots can't be taken."
"But what's the point of that, I can still use another phone to take pictures... And if I were an antifan, I could also pay to subscribe and then go in to make trouble. There are plenty of lunatics like this in fan circles, some even like to scold their own idols."
"But should I really give up the majority for the sake of this minority?"
She wavered back and forth on that line, constantly rebutting herself and analyzing it over and over. In the end, Jiang Juyou gave up on this feature.
Looking at it from the fans' perspective, they would look forward to this feature. Of course, more frequent replies would be better, but if not frequent, then it would be a pity for that money.
In addition, she had just mentioned the possibility of antifans going in to verbally abuse others, which simply could not be avoided. So she had to think of a way to communicate like this, where fans could supervise each other.
Jiang Juyou's brain shut down again. She leaned against her chair like a vegetable, staring blankly into the distance.
"From ancient times until now, what methods of communication are there...writing letters, telegrams, chat rooms, adding friends...writing letters, telegrams...writing letters!" Jiang Juyou suddenly sat up straight, and her eyes lit up, "Writing letters!"
It was as if her meridians had been unblocked. Jiang Juyou said in one go, "A fixed number of letters written each month, the letters opened and read by the artist will have an on-screen announcement, and fans can also read the letters opened by the artist! This allows mutual supervision!"
To avoid forgetting, Jiang Juyou quickly typed this out.
There were additional conditions after.
"Annual members get one letter a day, monthly members get seven letters a month, non-members get one letter a month."
"The monthly subscription fee is 29 yuan."
In addition to concerts requiring an annual membership to purchase, other paid features could be purchased separately.
For example, members-only behind-the-scenes videos with a monthly subscription fee, also 29 yuan.
Of course, there were also features that didn't require payment. Jiang Juyou had also set up functions similar to Weibo on the platform, where fans could comment and post pictures below.
There was also a function similar to WeChat, where fans could apply to add each other as friends.
The main purpose of this feature was for another major function—the marketplace.
When she was chatting with Li Yao and the others earlier, they had strongly requested a function where fans could trade items, so this feature was created just for this section.
The homepage of the marketplace would display various posts selling and buying items. You could also search precisely by keywords. The best part was it would display the highest and lowest prices of items that day, for the convenience of fans when trading.
In addition to this major section, there was another feature that Jiang Juyou had thought about for a long time—merchandise design.
She didn't plan on hiring specialized designers. Instead, she welcomed all kinds of designers to actively participate.
Regardless of the type or artist, there would be a fixed quantity of new merch every month, and it could only be purchased on the first day of each month.
Only the quantity ordered within the 24 hours of the first would be produced. At other times if you wanted to purchase again, you could only wait for others to refund or buy from other fans.
And except for anniversary comebacks, there would be no reselling.
The designer teachers would receive 10% commission on merchandise, the more sold, the more they make. Another 10% would be used for charity, and the remaining portion would be split between the company and artists.
The designer teachers were not limited by identity either. Whether they had studied design or not, they could try. Because there were templates, as long as it passed review it could go on sale.
Jiang Juyou looked at the features she had just finished with great satisfaction. "I won't have to bear the reputation of selling ugly merch from now on."
The other big use of this feature was to encourage the development of subgroups for each artist. Subgroups and fanclubs could upload items they wanted to sell here without bearing any costs, and the profits were transparent, so casual fans could easily calculate how much they earned.
If they sold things under the artist's name or raised funds elsewhere, the company would file litigation.
The idea was that earning money was fine, but the company had to get a cut too.
In this period where subgroups and fanclubs were secretly earning money, this method could get many that wanted to make money to participate, and the more subgroups there were, the more output there would be, and the fan circle would become more lively.
Currently there were five sections: "Concert Purchase", "Marketplace", "Merch Purchase", "Fan Friends", and "Artist Interaction".
The "Artist Interaction" section had the most features, including letter writing, watching videos, artists posting, and streaming.
The above was all the features Jiang Juyou's little head could think of right now, but to prevent issues with needing to modify and add on later, she stared closely at the screen and read it over several times, yet really couldn't think of anything else to add.
Finally before submitting, Jiang Juyou supplemented a few more points:
"Screenshots and recordings are prohibited in this app. If recorded by a third device, the screen will turn white."
"Plug-ins for ticket snatching and snatching goods are prohibited in this app."
"Paid features of this app will go online on December 1 this year."
It was like handing in an exam. Jiang Juyou looked over it at least eight hundred times before finally not being able to find anything else that could be added, and clicked submit.
"Ding—"
"Mission Complete"
Seeing the displayed words, Jiang Juyou heaved a long sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to slide down and relax for a bit, she heard the prompt that she had leveled up, even two levels in a row!
"Hahahahaha I knew it! A task this complicated must give more experience points!" Seeing the new loan amount credited, Jiang Juyou's mouth nearly split to the back of her head.
Jiang Juyou narrowed her eyes with a smile. "Hehe, I have money again!"
She was just like a nouveau riche, immediately spending the money that had arrived.
Jiang Juyou selected three more people on the FA Market, including an actor. Next was waiting for the contracts to be completed.
What was more important was unlocking the various facilities at the venue. As Jiang Juyou unlocked them, she complained.
"It's understandable that the square screen needs to be unlocked, but why do the restrooms for the audience need to be unlocked too, and even one by one!"
"Ah...the concert seats need to be unlocked too!"
After unlocking the seats, Jiang Juyou was about to exit when she saw the entrance was still grayed out. "Don't tell me even the entrance and exit need to be unlocked?"
Jiang Juyou clicked on it, and sure enough it displayed [Locked]. She was so exasperated she nearly had a heart attack.
Clutching her heart with her eyes closed, she unlocked the QR code entrance and exit.
Not only did she unlock it, she also changed its name.
From the original [Random Entertainment Company] to [Galexy World].
The two million was gone within minutes, leaving just over 700,000. This scene was very similar to Jiang Juyou's account after paying off her credit card bill every month. Of course it was better now, because her small part time wages were gone after paying her credit card bill.
Jiang Juyou had been busy with many things today. She went to bed earlier than usual, falling asleep as soon as she hit the bed, as if someone had knocked her out with a club.

Speaking of summer, it was always unbearably hot. Just thinking about having to face 40+ degree weather every day after waking up made everyone dearly miss the cold, dry winter.
Gao Xiayu and the others met at the subway entrance, then walked towards the company together.
Without shame, each person was protected from head to toe, not missing hats, masks, or gloves. It wasn't to avoid being recognized, but to avoid sun damage.
The few of them, bundled up tightly, ran towards the practice room. As they ran, they said:
"Ahhh we're late!"
"Hurry up next time, Chi Qiao!"
"I couldn't get on that bus, what do you expect me to do!"
"I'm dying of heat, dying of heat! I hope the teacher has turned on the AC already!"
They turned the corner to the back door of the venue, said hi to the security guard before going in, and raced each other to tap in and authenticate once inside the building.
When they got down to the basement level -1 in the elevator, their voices and breathing suddenly slowed, afraid of getting caught coming late by the teachers.
But in reality all the staff were upstairs in a meeting right now—
