620: Chapter 620: A girl group within a talent agency! At least they can make money!

Su Yang took a quick look at these special buffs and soon ruled out Media PR and Crisis Management.

This aspect could be outsourced to Xingli PR.

The Artist Cultivation Efficiency boost could also be outsourced to Yanhu Education!

As for the Artist Loyalty boost, since there were contracts in place, Su Yang felt it could be put on hold.

Marketing Planning Ability refers to formulating effective market promotion strategies to increase an artist's popularity and market value; Su Yang thought it was quite good!

Negotiation and Communication Ability leans towards an agent's professional skills, referring to the ability to negotiate and communicate with merchants, directors, investors, and fans; it was considered a quite useful ability upgrade.

Market Insight Ability refers to helping the company better understand market demands and industry trends, thereby providing artists with more precise career planning and market promotion strategies.

Strictly speaking, these three abilities were all quite good and very suitable for an agency.

After thinking about it, Su Yang decided to choose Marketing Planning Ability.

[Ding~ Your Xinghuo Agency has gained a 15% boost in Marketing Planning Ability!]

[Ding~ Detected that the number of full-time employees at Xinghuo Agency exceeds ten. You have received an achievement reward: 2 spirit Points, Intermediate Star Aura Talent, and your Xinghuo Agency has gained a new permanent special buff!]

[1. Negotiation and Communication Ability boost, 2. Media PR Ability, 3. Crisis Management Ability, 4. Market Insight Ability, 5. Artist Loyalty boost, 6. Artist Cultivation Efficiency boost, 7. Artist Moral Standards boost...]

Su Yang hesitated for a moment before choosing Negotiation and Communication Ability!

There was no other reason; his Business Deduction ability could, to a certain extent, supplement the role of Market Insight Ability. He could make artists famous through their works!

Although Su Yang could also handle negotiations and communication, he certainly wouldn't personally help artists negotiate commercial performances or communicate with fans; many tasks still had to be handled by the agency!

[Ding~ Your Xinghuo Agency has gained +30% Marketing Planning Ability and +15% Negotiation and Communication Ability!]

Adding the 3 Charm points to his physical attributes, Su Yang then turned his attention to the Intermediate Star Aura Talent...

After reading it, he felt a bit helpless; this thing was just a charm and aura amplifier!

The higher the personal charm, the stronger the effect, which would make him appear more "dazzling."

At the same time, it would amplify his aura and presence, making his every move and every word more emotionally infectious, enhancing his emotional influence on others!

For making empty promises or hyping people up... it should be very effective!

After acquiring Lirong Media, Yu Siying increased the employees' salaries by one thousand and purchased social security for those who didn't have it, bringing their loyalty almost to the passing line of 60.

Su Yang personally went to Lirong Media to meet the company employees and signed artists.

Including that girl group and several trainees.

Dou Lirong even had them perform their talents for Su Yang.

How to put it?

Dou Lirong's eye for talent was not bad.

The artists and trainees she signed indeed possessed a certain degree of talent in dance and singing.

The four-member girl group had decent strength, with at least three having a standard level in professional dance.

Among the girl group, Diao Xueying's appearance and figure were quite impressive; her dancing was the worst, but her singing seemed pretty good!

Although Yao Yujia's appearance was slightly inferior, her looks were very recognizable.

Youthful, lively, sweet, and adorable.

Her dancing had considerable infectiousness, her eyelashes were long, and her eyes, which formed crescent moons when she smiled, seemed to speak.

Facing the big boss, Su Yang, who stood in the dance studio with a wooden face, staring at them with a scrutinizing gaze.

When Yao Yujia danced with the other three, the others were either nervous or lacked spirit.

Only she would use her eyes to communicate with Su Yang while dancing, as if she really treated Su Yang as her fan.

When it came to the wink at the end, Su Yang slightly suppressed the corners of his mouth from turning up; he was genuinely charmed!

Unfortunately, there wasn't really a stage suitable for girl groups in the country.

Even the super popular girl groups created by Tencent Video in collaboration with various entertainment companies inevitably faded quickly, ultimately having to rely on TV dramas to stay relevant.

Except for Diao Xueying and Yao Yujia, the other two girls, although they danced very hard, didn't have anything that left a deep impression on Su Yang.

If Su Yang remembered correctly, Diao Xueying and Yao Yujia were the two who had debuted in South Korea.

Returning to the office, Dou Lirong asked Su Yang how he felt about these newcomers.

Su Yang said in a calm tone, "If they take the girl group route, it will be hard for them to develop in the country!"

"How about letting them act?"

"Have they had plastic surgery?"

"No!" Dou Lirong shook her head, "They all have natural faces; I only recruit good-looking ones!"

Thinking of Yao Yujia's acting talent, Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "That Yao Yujia could perhaps be cultivated; start with small supporting roles."

"What about Diao Xueying?"

"You can have her and the other girls try it too, or you could consider transferring them to Spark Media to become influencers. If that doesn't work, just let them go; don't waste their youth!"

It's not to say that those without acting talent can't be actors.

It's just that their achievements will be limited, lacking that spark!

If it's an idol drama, the requirements for acting skills aren't that high.

In the early days, many singers went to film idol dramas and became actors.

Many of them had no talent, but through seriousness and hard work, their performances in idol dramas were passable; at least the audience could accept them.

Since they were now all artists under Spark Entertainment, Su Yang didn't mind giving them a chance to try.

"Thank you, Boss!"

Su Yang reminded, "In the future, when Xinghuo Agency signs new people, it must go through my approval!"

Dou Lirong nodded, "I understand, Boss!"

Yu Siying had already reminded her of this.

"After Tang Ximing and An Xinlei's TV drama airs, they might become popular. You need to plan ahead for them and respect their opinions!"

"Okay, Boss!"

"The agency still needs to recruit people. You are responsible for posting the recruitment notices, then send the resumes to my work email; I will select people slowly!"

"Hmm!"

Just as Su Yang and Dou Lirong were talking in the office.

Inside the dance studio, four young and beautiful girls were leaning against the wall, sitting on the floor in a row.

Yao Yujia took a small sip of water and broke the deathly silence of the dance studio:

"The big boss standing over there looks so scary. By the end of the dance, I was relying entirely on muscle memory, and my face was stiff from smiling, but he didn't react at all; he's simply... cold!"

The girl next to her also nodded, "Yeah, he clearly looks very handsome, but when he stared at me, I felt my legs go a bit weak!"

Diao Xueying pulled her hair in distress and said, "I messed up the dance steps!"

Li Yijia: "I messed up too; I followed Sister Xueying and messed up..."

Diao Xueying quickly said, "You can't blame me!"

Yao Yujia whispered, "I wonder what the big boss thinks of us..."

Li Yijia whispered, "It would be great if the boss could let us go into acting. I heard that Spark Entertainment has a lot of resources in TV dramas and short dramas, and there's a satellite drama about to air on Matong Station... If that doesn't work, being an influencer is not bad either; at least we can make money!"
