I refuse to be a plagiarist

"Three months, as expected..."

A look of understanding appeared on his face.

When seeing the performance list before, Hasegawa Hide had made a simple guess in private, and the answer given by the girl now is basically not much different from the result of his previous guess.

“With so much time, if we can use it to plan something, we can easily double our current size.

Do you believe it?

".....Tell me about it."

People are creatures who like double standards.

Although she is also good at making exaggerated statements for others, it does not mean that Yukinoshita Haruno likes to hear others make exaggerated remarks.

So when faced with someone's outrageous statement, even though the relationship between the two was very good, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in her heart.

Faced with the girl's hesitant look, Hasegawa just smiled slightly and then expressed his thoughts.

That's the school idol...the group version!

"...The reason why we were able to achieve such success this time, in the final analysis, the most important factor is you, Yukinoshita, as the team leader."

"I?"

"Well, whether you want to admit it or not, that's the truth.

Even if I had the club members secretly promote it in advance, without you, no one would be willing to come here to buy it."

It’s very real and helpless.

Faced with Hasegawa Hide's conclusion, even though Yukinoshita Haruno knew that the other party was telling the truth, she still couldn't help feeling suffocated in her heart.

After all, if we look at it this way, the reason why they can achieve today's results seems to be more important than everyone else's efforts because of their own "personality" as a home team.

Compared to this, all the others seem to have become insignificant bonus points.

This stark reality was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the strong-willed Yukinoshita Haruno.

"So what exactly is this 'better solution' you're talking about?"

There was a hint of anger in his tone.

If it was someone else, it would be fine.

But the one who cruelly revealed the cold truth in front of him was precisely the guy in front of him whom he cared about!

"Haha...it seems that you still doubt me, Yukinoshita."

Facing the childish appearance of Yukinoshita Haruno, Hasegawa grinned and actually felt that the other party was inexplicably cute.

Then, in the girl's puzzled gaze, he briefly explained to her the operating model of the fan circle traffic stars.

".......You have so many friends. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a few guys with suitable looks to form a temporary team, right?

Three months' time.

I'll promote it in nearby campuses in advance. At the same time, I'll prepare a few songs for them and have them practice in private.

It doesn’t matter how good it sounds, as long as it stays in tune, it’s considered a success. Anyway, the audience who will come at that time basically don’t come for their skills...”

His well-reasoned and well-founded statement fully reveals his control over the market and understanding of fan culture.

Looking at Hasegawa Hide's eloquent and high-spirited appearance, the girl was shocked and suddenly realized that her understanding of this boy was still too superficial...

Chapter 83: Marketing ideas that ruin people’s character

".......Perhaps these mass-produced 'idol groups' are far inferior to the results of everyone's previous practice in terms of hard power, and even their singing skills are not as good as those of a layman like me who took a month of temporary cram school.

But so what?

For some viewers, they may not care too much about these things. As long as the idol they are chasing is handsome and beautiful, they think it is worth their time, energy, money, and even IQ..."

Carefully analyzing the psychology of the current traffic idols called "idols" and their audiences.

It is said that the easiest money to make is from women, otakus and children, and this thing, which is like a rallying cry, perfectly integrates these three groups together.

No brain, persistence, impulse buying........

It has to be admitted that in any level of consumer market, for businesses, such groups are the most worthwhile to win over.

Because once this group of people undergoes simple purification, they will become a renewable resource like leeks, which is inexhaustible.

Hasegawa Hide can guarantee that his words were only about the marketing ideas of the product and were definitely not alluding to anything else.

Of course, Yukinoshita Haruno was very clear about the truth he wanted to express.

After all, in addition to being a politician, her father was a big businessman who started out in real estate a long time ago.

Although the nature of the products was quite different, she had more or less heard about some general marketing ideas when she was a child.

After her initial dissatisfaction was gradually replaced by surprise, the look she gave the other person became solemn and profound.

Different from his initial creative talent, this time the girl sensed something even more terrifying from Hasegawa Hide!

"But Hasegawa...

If you do this, aren't you worried that someone will say something unpleasant after watching the performance?"

He tentatively asked the boy in front of him.

Since it is a marketing method, word of mouth is naturally very important in her opinion.

In response to Yukinoshita's question, Hasegawa Hide, who did not notice the other party's expression at the time, gave his answer decisively without even thinking:

“They can say whatever they want.

We only have one chance to perform. Although the public opinion may sound harsh, no matter how much they try, can it change the fact that we succeeded in the school festival?

Looking back, sometimes if we don’t handle black stuff well, it may bring popularity and traffic to our products.”

At this point, he couldn't help but think of some guys who liked to buy trending searches in the women's restroom.

In this era where the Internet is crisscrossed and traffic is king, the most terrifying thing is not being criticized by others, but having no one.

After all... haters are fans too!

“Besides… we knew from the beginning that our quality was not good, so we couldn’t expect everyone to like our products.

It's just a school festival activity. Those who pursue quality and depth should just give up.

Those who can come here to play probably don’t have the extra energy to carefully figure out the profound meaning behind a certain stall…”

Unscrupulously expounding his simple and crude marketing concept.

And the most important thing is that in Hasegawa's system, this quickly formed "idol group" is like a consumable disposable battery. Once something goes wrong in the process, it can be discarded like garbage.

As the person behind the scenes, you can enjoy the final results as you please without having to worry about things like reputation.

Give a simple example.

Everyone likes to criticize a certain artist named Xiao, but how many people care about the team behind him who is responsible for operations and shares the profits?

Probably not.

Eat everything, flatter and leave, shoot one shot and move to another place...

The boy's unethical marketing concept instantly refreshed the girl's perception of him.

"Hasegawa, if you ever get into business, I think... you'll become a very dirty guy."

The tone was full of complexity.

However, facing the girl's evaluation of himself, Hasegawa Hide raised his eyebrows and seemed to be a little unimpressed:

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

【...】

"Why do you think so?"

"Ah, why...

As for the reason, I think you, as a young lady, should know it better than me."

He smiled and shrugged at the girl in front of him who was holding her forehead with her hand.

In Hasegawa's view, capital is something dirty from the very beginning.

In this profit-seeking circle, no matter what methods and means the parties use, the one who can make huge profits at the lowest cost in the end is the real winner.

For example, the atrocities committed by the colonists in South America back then were typical of the most typical, as they brought huge profits without any investment.

Of course, as for the despicable behavior of setting up a "Thanksgiving Day" after killing all the Indians, that is another topic.

And what about the approach he just mentioned?

Bad, irresponsible, and even a little bit mean!

However, it is undeniable that as a means of capital marketing, this idea is very worthy of reference.

After all, from experience, if this is not successful, there will be no such thing as traffic star assembly line packaging in the world...

"...Of course, if it were you, Yukinoshita, my method might not be suitable."

"Ok?"

“This is actually just my guess.

If the purpose was just to achieve an amazing result, the Yukinoshita in my mind would not have spent so much time preparing.

This school festival program should have a more important meaning to you."

As he spoke, he observed the expression on Yukinoshita's face.

And when he saw the strange look that flashed across the girl's eyes, he knew that he had guessed right this time.

"really......

If it is really what I guessed, then this kind of plan, which may be accompanied by risks, will naturally not be used anymore.”

His tone returned to its usual casual tone.

Faced with the boy's attitude of letting things go, Yukinoshita, who had just been thinking seriously, crossed her arms across her chest and turned her head away unhappily:

"Hmph~

What do you mean by 'may be accompanied by risks'... You, the plan you just proposed is simply walking on a tightrope!"

"Huh? You can't say that.

The reason why I didn’t say anything final just now is because that plan, which seems to be very unethical, actually has the potential to take into account both reputation and profit at the same time…”

He refuted the other party seriously.

The reason Hasegawa Hide dared to say this was precisely the collection of works from another time and space that was sleeping in his mind...

Chapter 84: Learning is the ladder of human progress

[If I have the chance in the future, maybe I can try to set up an office for fun...]

So I thought in my heart.

The casual chat with Yukinoshita Haruno gradually aroused an lingering thought in Hasegawa's heart. Although the process might be full of ups and downs, no one would want to refuse a way to make money quickly.

The disgusting yet desirable smell of money of capitalists...I guess this is the reason.

After the banquet, there is sadness of parting.

At the fork in the road, everyone exchanged each other's Line numbers and contact information, and finally embarked on their journey home.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that, except for a few individual members, after tonight, they might never have the chance to meet in real life again.

But even so, this experience of working together has left this day deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Perhaps in the future, after a long time, they will meet each other on the street after they have gone their separate ways, and then say to each other, "Long time no see..."

————————————

Acting with others is undoubtedly a very tiring thing.

That night, Hasegawa went back and had a good sleep. He didn't get out of bed until almost noon the next day.

There are no mountains of missed call IDs on your phone.
