This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

Just when everyone thought the VR headset was the biggest iteration of this game, today's version update made all players jump up in excitement, shouting "amazing!"

"Title: Hot Topic Discussion/Ahhhhh Random Entertainment! You, you, you!"

"This update opened up several previously locked areas, making exploration much more interesting. But that's not even the main point - the main point is that you can make money from this game!"

"Although there's a monthly withdrawal limit of 800 RMB, even if it was just 80, Random Entertainment deserves to be worshipped!"

"Who understands my excitement right now! Ahhhhh!"

Comments section:

"Is Random Entertainment finally going to revolutionize the gaming industry?"

"Finally, I can show my friends what real disappointment feels like - who knows what garbage I've been playing from other companies before!"

"[Holding up sign] Random Entertainment, I miss you from this trash planet."

"Random Entertainment, when will you come save me too? [smile]"

Just looking at the trending words on major platforms, Random Entertainment and "The Strange Realm" have clearly become the two most trafficked terms, leading countless marketing accounts and content creators to chase this trend by frantically posting videos.

Even Timetrain has climbed to top positions on various platform's trending lists.

Putting aside the game itself, which fan base wouldn't be envious of such promotional planning?

Random Entertainment is like that perfect child from another family - every time they appear, fans of other companies curse their own management with bitter resentment, wanting to strangle their company executives out of frustration.

This time, Timetrain's comeback schedule is similar to before, still featuring several weeks of music show performances.

Compared to the previous eight-week promotion period, this time it's only six weeks. But the good news is that their schedule includes many commercial shoots, meaning they've secured quite a few advertising endorsements.

During comebacks, there's always more fighting within fan circles, but the more they fight, the more their performances go viral.

With the boost from "The Strange Realm" game, Timetrain's album has received considerable attention, with all five title tracks dominating the charts.

Although there are other groups in the domestic entertainment industry, and plenty of others pursuing the idol path, Timetrain is by far the most successful, making everyone else look amateur in comparison.

Timetrain's success has greatly encouraged the two groups preparing to debut, for example―

Jiang Wangran improvised a punk-style electric guitar segment to Timetrain's title track, completely reversing its originally depressing yet healing feeling.

Chen Wu watched this with his mouth agape: "..."

Even Sang Mo, who was taking a water break, stopped mid-motion, stunned.

Jiang Wangran had been with the company for a while, and they'd seen him play guitar before, but mostly just teacher-assigned homework like theirs, so Sang Mo and Chen Wu had always assumed his guitar skills were similar to their level.

But hearing him today, they suddenly understood why he was directly assigned to the debut group.

If Chen Wu was the hardworking type, then Jiang Wangran was naturally gifted, especially with an extremely high talent for music.

In the restaurant's private room, Sang Mo counted on his fingers as he introduced Jiang Wangran to Gao Xiayu and the others, "He plays guitar, piano, drums, bass... and he only learned all of these in the past two years."

Beside him, Chen Wu, who fans called a genius producer, said: "...You really should hear his arrangement." He shook his head twice and sighed, "It's incredible."

Across from them, Pei Luming rolled up his sleeves upon hearing this, put one foot on the chair, and said cockily, "Tell him to show us what he's got!"

Next to him, Gao Xiayu didn't even turn to look, just pressed down on his neck to make him sit, explaining to the two across from them, "Please understand, his chuunibyou phase is running overtime."

"I'm about to be a high school freshman!" Pei Luming quickly defended himself.

Across from him, Yao Shuo mimicked mockingly, "I'm about to be a high school freshman!"

Chen Wu looked at Gao Xiayu from across the table, giving him a sympathetic nod, which Gao Xiayu returned.

Taking care of kids is really hard.

Gao Xiayu is Timetrain's leader, and Chen Wu is Equals3's leader, both managing a bunch of rowdy monkeys.

The two who had practice later stood up first, picking up their plates and saying, "We'll head out first, see you tomorrow."

"Bye!"

Today Timetrain had a public fansign event to attend, but it was in the afternoon, so they had some free time in the morning.

Those fans wanting to secure good positions had already started competing for spots outside the Galaxy building since yesterday.

Of course, the three gaming addicts didn't go.

Liu Yue didn't buy many albums this time so she didn't win a spot, Zhou Keke didn't participate in this round of album purchasing so she didn't win either, and as for Jiang Liuxing, she performed as expected.

The three of them were just lying in Liu Yue's nearly 200-square-meter home, with soft carpeting and the air conditioning set to 24 degrees, a mobile fruit cart with chilled watermelon nearby - this summer couldn't be more perfect.

So much so that none of them wanted to get up, delegating all work to others.

The three of them lay flat on the living room carpet, their VR headsets showing a view as if wearing sunglasses.

The azure sky was dotted with white clouds, white waves rolled onto the shore, and they lay on beach chairs, able to enjoy such beautiful scenery without experiencing the summer heat.

"Hope Random Entertainment makes big money and never goes bankrupt."

"Seconded."

"So we can keep playing games forever."

The three uniformly crossed their legs and sighed again at the sky, "Summer is so nice!"

During lunch break, there were quite a few players wearing VR headsets, and Jiang Juyou also put on the headset to experience the passion Cong Lixia had poured into this game.

The game's planning and conception were done by Jiang Juyou, but the visual effects and gaming experience were perfected by Cong Lixia.

During the period when Jiang Juyou wasn't speaking to him, he seemed to be working on this.

The album version of the VR headset had been on sale for a while, but because it didn't have built-in SD settings, everyone could only use poor text to describe the visuals.

Although Jiang Juyou had received the official release version of the VR headset early on, this was her first time wearing it.

"Whoa―"

The overly realistic sensory experience made Jiang Juyou flinch.

"The VR headset version and mobile version are completely different experiences, those who know, know."

"Understood."

"Recommend all sisters get a set, it's true, not just a meme."

Similar reviews were flooding the internet, attracting many review bloggers to try it out. The more praise it received, the more people bought it.

Before playing this game, Jiang Juyou had already watched many review videos, as the VR version had extremely high ratings among gaming bloggers, making even Jiang Juyou look forward to it.

She thought it would meet expectations, but it exceeded them by many times.

All the positive reviews came from the VR headset's wind effects and sound system.

The login interface featured a speeding train, and with the VR headset, you could actually feel the wind blowing from right to left, providing not just visual but also tactile feedback.

The in-ear headphones followed the train's progress, with sound effects moving from far to near, making it feel like the sound was appearing right in front of your forehead.

It wasn't just surround sound or 3D sound, but 3D audio with spatial awareness, making this journey even more comfortable.

Jiang Juyou was still not very skilled, wobbling as she operated the controller. From Cong Lixia's perspective, Jiang Juyou was lying on the office sofa, kicking her feet, busy with something unknown.

She didn't rush to tidy herself up, but first went to the street to see how other players were playing.

The only thing that made this VR game feel like a game was the character modeling. Even though it had skin textures, anyone could tell these were artificial characters at a glance.

Because she was logged into a test account, Jiang Juyou could see other players' in-game names floating above their heads. In other players' views, these weren't visible, so they couldn't tell who was a player and who was an NPC.

Jiang Juyou saw a music festival poster on the street and tilted her head, "Did we plan this event?"

"This was spontaneously organized by the players."

She raised an eyebrow, glancing at the address on it, "These people have even more ideas than I do."

Jiang Juyou took another look at the poster.

"Deadlock Music Festival."

She shook the poster and hailed a taxi at the roadside. After getting in, she said: "Take me to this address for the Deadlock Music Festival."

"Another player?" The driver turned his head, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Jiang Juyou was taken aback, "What's wrong with being a player?"

"Well, players always give low fares, while NPCs leave tips," said the driver.

Jiang Juyou looked him up and down, then quietly complained to Cong Lixia, "The degree of freedom seems a bit too high."

-

After a simple lunch break, the rejuvenated Jiang Juyou had a new inspiration.

She sent a message to the variety show department: "Interested in doing a competitive music festival show?"

"Zhao PD: ?"

"Zhao PD: Please proceed with your pitch."

"Jiang Juyou: Invite about a dozen artists, whether groups, bands, or solo performers, incorporate competitive stage elements, but the final presentation would be at a music festival."

"Zhao PD: Isn't that just moving from a studio to an outdoor lawn?"

"Jiang Juyou: Exactly."

"Zhao PD: Wait! My brain just connected the dots!"

"Zhao PD: You want to create another music festival brand, like the Galaxy venue!"

"Jiang Juyou: Now that the great Zhao PD understands, can we implement it?"

"Zhao PD: I'm going to set up a meeting to discuss it right now."

"Jiang Juyou: Great! Save spots for Timetrain, AIcho, and Equals3."

"Zhao PD: Got it!"

Fans: First time seeing a company complaining that their internal competition isn't fierce enough.
