Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Nagasaki Suyo covered her slightly bulging belly and couldn't help but let out a long burp.

She glanced at Lin Yi nervously, and this time he didn't laugh at her, but just said lightly.

"Are you full? If you are, clean up for me!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he stood up and lay down comfortably on the sofa.

Su Shi was dumbfounded. Aren’t you going to do anything?

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and move!"

Lin Yi turned over on the sofa and urged: "I helped yesterday because I was visiting your house. You came to my house uninvited today and ate for free under the pretext of studying. Shouldn't you do something?"

Having said this, Lin Yi paused and stood up.

"Shigasaki-san, you're not going to eat for free, are you?"

Su Shi's face darkened. Without saying a word, he silently picked up the plates and bowls and walked towards the kitchen.

All this is for Xiaoxiang.

Chapter 66: As long as Renna debuts, things will be fine!

Monday, Nebula Office.

Toyokawa Shoko sat opposite Lin Yi with the report of CD sales in the past few days in her hand, frowning and holding her chin, complaining.

"Lin Yi, the sales of the CD are not very ideal. It is far from what we expected!"

Xiangzi expected that after more than half a month of settling down, coupled with the hunger marketing caused by the shortage of goods and the substantial price reduction, quite a lot of people would buy it.

Not to mention that all 2 CDs were sold out in one second, but it shouldn't be a problem to sell them out one after another, right?

But the reality gave Xiangzi a huge blow.

Sales exceeded 2,000 on the first day of reopening, and more than 1,000 were sold yesterday. I'm afraid that today even 1,000 copies may not be sold.

Lin Yi picked up the water cup and took a sip, then said calmly: "This is a very normal phenomenon, Xiangzi, you don't have to worry."

Is "Yugurare" a good song? Yes.

Did it become popular? Yes, but it was only a localized popularity, not big enough or long-lasting enough.

More importantly, the band did not take advantage of the song's popularity to gain attention or hype itself up, so the converted traffic was extremely limited.

Of course, even with limited traffic, Lin Yi suffered a heavy loss not long ago.

To put it bluntly, the band is still at the bottom, and people's impression of it is only that one song, but songs are obviously not necessities of life, and pure songs are difficult to attract people's attention for a long time.

Moreover, Japanese people are more accustomed to offline shopping, and the only channel for selling the band's CDs is the Internet.

If many people don’t buy the CD at the first time, they won’t keep paying attention to it online, and they won’t see it offline, so they will gradually forget about it. At most, they will put the song in the playlist - after all, it’s just a song.

When the storm has passed, the fact that the song can still achieve such sales is already a proof of the song's high quality.

It is normal that Xiaoxiang does not fully understand. After all, she is young and has no relevant experience and knowledge. But Lin Yi thinks it is good for her to be like this.

The current classmate Xiaoxiang is already giving him a headache. If he continues to evolve, how will he still lose money?

Lin Yi said slowly: "The price reduction is controversial, and the band is now caught up in a member replacement storm. It is normal that people are not very willing to buy."

"As long as Niina proves herself in subsequent Lives, things will definitely get better!"

The band's popularity is low, so just make it high again.

Lin Yi had no doubt about Rencai's ability, and he did not plan to postpone the Live time this time.

After the first Live, the band had already proved that they were qualified and they cooperated very well. Lin Yi couldn't find a suitable reason to delay, nor did he want to suppress the girls' enthusiasm.

At the same time, in addition to forming a second band, the system's tasks in this cycle also include holding a special live performance.

The only thing they are capable of doing is to end the band. Before performing a solo live show, it is also necessary to perform several live shows and commercial performances to accumulate experience.

With such strength, it is impossible for the band to end without making money.

Lin Yi had already prepared himself mentally for this. Wasn't it for this that he lowered the price of CDs and formulated new sales strategies?

If you really want to lose money, you have to watch the new band with Ichiri Goto as the core!

Yes, Rencai!

Thinking of this talented lead singer, Xiangzi's confused eyes gradually brightened.

Nina has only been in the agency for half a month, but she has already conquered everyone with her strength.

In addition to her singing skills, she is also extremely talented in writing lyrics despite her amateur background, and her compositions often contain some genius stream-of-consciousness ideas.

It seems like Renai was born to be a rock musician.

With her joining the band, Momoka and Ryo, who were already great composers, have written two great new songs, in a completely different style from "Yugurume".

Although discussions about the details of the song were still ongoing and we hadn't done any ensemble practice, everyone had read the lyrics and sheet music and had practiced privately, so there were basically no problems.

Xiangzi believes that as long as Rencai holds a live performance, all doubts and rumors will disappear, and the agency will be fine again.

Xiangzi was a man of action. She immediately got up and went to Taoxiang and the others to ask for their opinions. After getting a positive answer, she immediately ran back.

Lin Yi looked at the cute girl in front of him with a puzzled expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"Lin Yi——"

Xiangzi's big amber eyes shone brightly as he looked at Lin Yi warmly, "You're right, it's time for Rencai to debut, let the band hold a new live!"

"Niina's debut?"

Lin Yi frowned and asked in surprise: "Have they finished writing their new song?"

Although he was mentally prepared, judging from Xiangzi's daily reports to him, the band's new song was probably still in preparation.

However, recently, because Xiangzi has been busier and busier, the content of the reports sent to him every day has become simpler and simpler.

Is she kidding me?

"Well, it's almost there."

Xiangzi nodded and said nervously: "Momoka and the others suggested that it would be best to schedule the Live time for this weekend."

Lin Yi raised his head, suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"More or less," "This weekend"...

Aren’t these two sentences really contradictory?

He remembered clearly that the last time Taoxiang wrote a new song, it took two weeks from the time it was written to the time it was performed live.

With less than a week's preparation time, is it really possible to get enough preparation to go on stage?

Lin Yi sat upright, looking seriously into Xiangzi's eyes with a stern face.

"Xiao Xiang, have you really been reporting your work to me seriously recently?"

Lin Yi said earnestly: "As an assistant, you shouldn't say such vague words as 'more or less the same'."

When Xiangzi heard Lin Yi say this, he immediately understood what he meant.

She opened her mouth to explain, but when she thought of Lin Yi's trust in her, she lowered her head in shame.

"I'm sorry... this was a mistake on my part."

After Xiangzi admitted his mistake, he told her some details that she had hidden.

"So that's it..."

Lin Yi nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "This matter can't be completely blamed on you, I didn't explain it clearly... Sorry."

Taoxiang and the others had indeed not officially completed the new song; Xiangzi had simply concealed some details.

If every detail was explained clearly, Xiangzi wouldn't have to do any other work every day.

So he was indeed a bit harsh just now.

"It's ok!"

Xiangzi shook his head and said nonchalantly: "We can just communicate well in the future!"

"Ah."

Lin Yi nodded and smiled at Xiangzi.

However, Xiangzi's explanation makes sense. Why was there no movement from the band after the band finished practicing? It shouldn't be impossible to not notice that they were practicing privately, right?

Lin Yi took out his cell phone and looked at the group named [End Band], and doubts arose in his heart.

Will they privately create a new group without their own members?

Chapter 67: There is a traitor, terminate the deal.

When Lin Yi walked into the training room and asked the girls about the situation, this was what they answered.

"We also want to give Lin Yi a surprise!"

"Lin Yi is the president, not the agent. This kind of thing is not important, right?"

"If it's unexpected, there will be bonuses and a feast."

“It’s not appropriate to practice the new song together if it’s not officially finished, so I asked everyone to get familiar with it privately.”

Lin Yi nodded and reluctantly accepted this statement.

He pulled out his phone and opened the [End of Band] group, pointing to the last message sent over a week ago.

"Then what's going on?"

Lin Yi asked with a dark face: "Don't tell me you usually chat privately!"

The girls who finished the band looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Even though this was none of Goto Ichiri's business, she still subconsciously shrank into the corner.

Humph, you guys seem quite united, but do you really think you are a solid block among yourself?

Lin Yi looked in Liang's direction, winked at her a few times, and then made a gesture of counting money.

Money can make the world cool!

Liang's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth to speak.

"We... Ugh!"

Hongxia moved even faster, rushing behind Liang and covering her mouth to prevent her from speaking.

A weak bassist is of course helpless against a powerful drummer.

"Hongxia, what are you doing? Let Liang go."

Seeing that his most loyal minister was being controlled, Lin Yi quickly spoke out to stop it.

Aiyin glared at Lin Yi angrily and said, "Lin Yi! This is a little secret between girls, don't ask about it as a grown man!"

After saying that, Aine looked at Ryo who was still struggling and said sinisterly:

"Liang, there will be no good end for the betrayer~"

“Aine is right!”

Nina on the side agreed with this.

Faced with the covert threats from his teammates, Liang had no choice but to compromise.

After a period of relaxing play, Lin Yi started to talk about business.

"I agree with the live event. As for the time and location, you can discuss it with Xiangzi. Just let me know when you've decided."

The girls who finished the band all looked happy when they heard this.

Knowing that it would be her debut live, Nina nervously took two deep breaths. Momoka patted Nina's shoulder and gave her a reassuring look.

After deciding to end the band's second live performance, Lin Yi went home after get off work.
