Most of the users of Station C are students, and the main age group of users is between 14 and 24 years old. Traditional promotional methods may not be able to gain their support, and if the video itself is not good enough, it will also have a bad impact on the reputation of Station C.
Based on this premise, Mei Fang formulated a specific shooting plan for the promotional video.
1. The promotional video is expected to be 4 minutes long, including 1 minute of self-introduction and 3 minutes of talent show (guitar singing).
2. The clothes you wear should be youthful and beautiful enough, and at the same time, you should be able to show some of your own two-dimensional attributes.
3. In order to reduce the disturbance in real life, adopt the method of publicity without showing the face.
Of course, after the third point was raised, everyone felt that this approach would be a bit of an attempt to cover up the truth. After all, they had already sung these songs in school, and since they were planning to "debut", they had to be mentally prepared that their secrets would be exposed sooner or later.
Mei Fang's consideration is that it is still 2012 after all, and the hostility on the Internet is far less terrible than it will be ten years later. Yuanyuan Youxi and himself will reveal their identities sooner or later. Not showing their faces will only slightly increase the cost for netizens to dig up their identities and increase Xia Yuan's mystery.
As for the video shooting, Wan Chaoxiong and Xiang Bingbing were invited to participate in the video shooting. After discussing the location, everyone decided to shoot in a small pavilion in the school, ensuring that the background was less recognizable.
After the scene and crew were confirmed, Xia Yuan was worrying about the costumes for the promotional video.
"Ah Fang, Youxi, do you think a sailor suit or a lolita skirt would be better? Or should I just wear the school uniform?"
"The lolita skirt is a bit too 2D, and it doesn't fit the style of a guitar singer. If it's a school uniform... it's like telling netizens that we are from the First Affiliated Normal School of Jiangcheng Normal University."
Lin Youxi gave Xia Yuan her own suggestions, "I think the sailor suit would be better. It fits the youthful and beautiful style that Ah Fang wants, and it's also a bit 2D enough."
"When you think about it, it's true."
Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang thoughtfully, "What do you think, Fang? Do you also think that I look better in a sailor suit?"
"Hmm... Speaking of which, Yuanyuan, can you get me a sailor uniform?"
"Although I can borrow the school ones, the quality is not very good. I will buy them online in the next few days."
"Remember to buy a longer skirt. If you show too much, your dad will be mad if he sees you."
"What do you mean my dad... You pushed my dad out, it's just that Ah Fang doesn't want me to show too much!"
Xia Yuan smiled and pinched Mei Fang's cheek, leaning close to Mei Fang's ear and saying, "Then I can buy two, a long one for recording videos, and a shorter one, and then... wear it for Ah Fang to see, okay?"
Xia Yuan was not yet very proficient in the technique of teasing Mei Fang. She was supposed to attack Mei Fang, but ended up blushing first.
Although Yuanyuan is good at attack but weak in defense, Mei Fang himself is not much better. He touched his nose embarrassedly when Xia Yuan teased him.
"Where did you learn this weird thing? Let's shoot the video first, and we can talk about other things later..."
Seeing that he had succeeded, Xia Yuan stepped up his attack, "So, are you interested? I would only buy it if you were interested."
"Buy them all. It's not like I can't afford them. One more piece doesn't matter... But remember to charge my account. This is considered a public expense."
"I know, I know."
After Xia Yuan finished speaking, she sat on the sofa with a smile and started choosing clothes. Lin Youxi put her arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder and reminded her, "Yuanyuan, when you place your order, remember to buy a few more pairs of pantyhose."
"Pantyhose?"
"Since Ah Fang doesn't want you to show too much, then using pantyhose to cover your legs is also a good choice."
"You mean that kind... ah... um... uh..."
"This store is good, look at this one."
Under Lin Youxi's instruction, Xia Yuan turned to the content that made her blush, and immediately exclaimed: "You, Youxi... Do you like this kind of socks? This is too bold!"
"I don't mind. It's mainly because Ah Fang likes this one more. He must be very excited to see you wearing this, especially the white one."
"When did I ever say I liked pantyhose?"
Mei Fang expressed her protest and dissatisfaction on the sidelines, "Don't make me sound like a pervert."
"You still say you're not a pervert." Lin Youxi bit her lip and questioned Mei Fang, "Have you forgotten what you did to my stockings last time?"
Xia Yuan chimed in, "Ah Fang is only tough with his mouth."
"What weird things are you talking about!"
Finally, Lin Youxi asked Xia Yuan to buy her two pairs of black tights, but after all, they couldn't be worn to school, so their purpose was unknown.
After preparing all the preliminary work, we found a weekend to shoot the video at school.
After spending some time together, Wan Chaoxiong gradually became familiar with the people in the studio. After seeing their performance on stage, he was also full of expectations for Xia Yuan's fame.
"Based on the quality of our single and the professional level of video production, I think as long as we can get a recommendation, we will definitely become the top singer in the music section!"
Xiang Bingbing was also very curious about the result of this video recording, "If Yuanyuan becomes an Internet celebrity in the future, will she no longer have to attend classes?"
"That's not the case... After all, it's just a pure hobby."
Xia Yuan smoothed her hair, rearranged her clothes with the help of Lin Youxi, and then picked up the guitar that Mei Fang handed to her, which made Xia Yuan feel very relieved.
“I also want to develop my career…”
After all, Afang and Youxi are making games and websites, and I have to keep up with them and become an excellent creator...
Xiang Bingbing half-knelt and raised the camera to point at Xia Yuan, "Yuanyuan, are you ready?"
Xia Yuan coughed a few times and then cleared his throat, "We can start now."
"Action!"
Xia Yuan waved to the camera and greeted,
"Hello everyone at C Station! This is Yuan, Yuanbaodesu! Hahaha... This is easy, can you re-record it?"
Xia Yuan greeted Mei Fang outside the camera, but Mei Fang just shook his head. He felt that such a real reaction was acceptable.
"Yeah... our director said we don't need to re-record, so I'll continue... Today is my first time meeting you all, and I want to share with you our team's first mini album "Yuan Xi Xiang Ban". These five songs were created by me, my two childhood sweethearts, and other good friends. I hope you like them! Next, I will perform one of the songs for you, please give me a round of applause to encourage me, crab!"
Xia Yuan first clapped himself a few times, and then played the song "In That Not Faraway Place" live in the video.
Because it was just a song with guitar accompaniment, and Mei Fang wanted to see the feeling of an NG, Xia Yuan's performance was not perfect. There was even a funny scene in the middle where he bit his tongue and sang the wrong words. Although it was not recorded in the video, the sound and actions can be felt.
Xiang Bingbing showed the finished video to Mei Fang and Wan Chaoxiong.
"By the way, do we really not need to re-record this? There are quite a lot of mistakes."
Mei Fang and Wan Chaoxiong shook their heads and pointed their fingers almost at the same time.
"This kind of youthful and unfamiliar but natural feeling, a hard-working girl who strives to pursue her dreams, is the most attractive character of our Yuanyuan!"
"Boss Mei is indeed a man who makes games. You really understand the thoughts of 2D otakus the best. Your speaking style is exactly the same as our Miss C Station!"
"What do you mean by very similar..."
Xia Yuan couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.
The Afang standing in front of you is the real Miss [Shan You Lin Xi], the webmaster of Station C!
But besides feeling emotional, she was also a little worried.
Can a video like this really impress the users of Station C
I changed the last part of the previous chapter after some thought. If you feel it is not right, you can read it again. Can the next chapter be updated before 12 o'clock? Let's wait and see.
