Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen

Chapter 258: A Different Way to Debut


Actually, not much post-production was needed. They just had to edit the footage from the various cameras, add a subtle filter to adjust the color for a more polished look, and include a few transition effects. That was basically it.

After all, it was just shot in a recording studio, so there wasn't much room to get overly creative.

"Great work, everyone! You can all head back and get some rest. I'll talk to Director Cao about this—it'll be paid time off!"

After the work was done, Chu Tian smiled at the staff still waiting by his side for further instructions.

The earlier parts of his announcement were fine, but those final words, "paid time off," really struck a chord with them.

"Yay! Thank you, President Chu!"

"There's no need to thank me. Hurry back and rest. Keep up the good work in the future, and aim for a quick promotion and a raise."

What boss doesn't make grand promises? The only redeeming quality Chu Tian had was that he himself was capital. But he lacked that predatory instinct, the one that seemed to be in the very blood of capitalists from birth.

In any case, he had lived on the yellow earth and grown up under the red flag. He was accustomed to the hardships of the working class, so why twist the knife further?

With the finished video in hand, Chu Tian returned to the studio.

If it weren't so close, the commute alone would have been a nightmare.

It wasn't that he didn't want to do the work at this studio; the main issue was that the setup was still a bit lacking. After all, they were just starting out, and there was so much equipment to acquire.

Many of the previous promotional videos for Xu Qingqiu had been outsourced. The entire studio didn't even have its own editing or post-production staff.

It seemed Sister Hua was also planning to invest in equipment. Short videos were becoming increasingly popular, and if they didn't keep up, they'd truly be left behind.

"Yiyi, busy?"

"What's up, Brother Tian? Just let me know."

Yiyi had only been back for two days but was already engrossed in her work. She was quite different from the little snack fiend who used to idle around munching on treats.

It was just that this heavy Northeast accent of hers was a bit much.

"Who did you learn this from? Did you go to the Northeast for special training?"

"Huh? No? Oh, my roommate during training was from there. I don't know why, but her accent was just so infectious. She always insisted she was speaking standard Mandarin, and now I've gone off track too."

Her accent was indeed quite off; she'd completely lost the original pronunciation.

Chu Tian was almost used to it by now and couldn't be bothered to ask further.

"Take a look at this video. Then, have someone register an account on A-Station under the studio's name and upload the video."

"Okay, is this the video of that singer you mentioned? Do we need to coordinate with the marketing department?" Yiyi asked curiously, taking the USB drive.

"Not for now. Let's see how it performs first."

Promotion was definitely necessary, but Chu Tian wasn't sure if this song would be effective.

If it became as popular as it was in his previous life, they could then ramp up the promotion.

But if it sank without a trace and no one paid it any mind, then even with promotion, the impact would likely be minimal, and it would just be a waste of money.

"Okay, Brother Tian, leave it to me."

Sigh... The little foodie who used to call me 'Brother Chu Tian' was gone, replaced by a busy little bee who constantly addressed me as 'Brother Tian.'

Watching Yiyi bustling about, he wasn't sure if this path was good or bad for her.

Who wouldn't prefer to just laze around and wait for things to happen? And yet, a life filled with busy, meaningful days seemed to hold more significance.

Ultimately, the kind of life one prefers is a personal choice.

He himself would love to just laze around, but it wasn't as if he had the chance.

Chu Tian lamented his fleeting youth and his seemingly ever-more-distant dream life, a look of desolation on his face.

Yiyi, meanwhile, was becoming increasingly decisive and efficient.

"Yuan, do we have an A-Station account?"

"We don't? Then register one and post this song on it."

"What? We have to answer questions? Figure it out. Get outside help or search online, whatever it takes. Just hurry up, register the account, and then upload the video."

Under Yiyi's instructions, any problems were quickly resolved.

Once the account was registered, the new video was uploaded.

Under an account named 'Xu Qingqiu Studio,' a new video appeared.

The video was titled: 'What is a Sound Monster? Singer Li Guang: One Man, Multiple Roles! Let "Dalabengba" Take You into the Legend of the Hero and the Dragon!'

The video had just been uploaded, so hardly anyone had seen it yet. Building influence would take time.

But just because the public hadn't seen it didn't mean everyone was unaware—like the people within the company.

Yuan: Yiyi just had me upload a video to A-Station. It seems to be a debut song composed by Youmeng for a new singer. It's absolutely incredible! I highly recommend everyone check it out!

Yueyue: What song is it? Are the new singers debuting? And what's A-Station? Which video platform is that?

Flower Moon Girl: A-Station is a video platform; you can think of it as a site focused on the anime community. Let me go take a look now.

Lin Xiaomiao: Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be a debut song? Why is it on an anime site? Are they planning to go the anime route?

Yuan: I'm not sure, but the song is strange and quite catchy. You guys should listen to it, then you'll know. I can't quite describe it.

As Yuan made the announcement in the group chat, colleagues who were secretly slacking off all perked up with interest.

Some who didn't know what A-Station was were asking for the link, while those in the know had already started searching.

Flower Moon Girl: Sister Yuan, what's the video title?

Yuan: [What is a Sound Monster? Singer Li Guang: One Man, Multiple Roles! Let "Dalabengba" Take You into the Legend of the Hero and the Dragon!]

Flower Moon Girl: Huh? What kind of title is that?

Yuan: I don't know, that's the copy I was given, but I think it's spot-on!
