Ordinary Road 2010

"Absolutely not."

Peng Yuchen said seriously: "I am from Shu, and I have always respected Zhuge Wuhou."

"But I want to make an inappropriate analogy. Uncle Liu Huang visited the thatched cottage three times and invited him to Wolong to come out of the mountain. In the end, it was only one in three parts of the world."

"If Xiao Gu can work hard with me, I am very sure that we will join hands to create a new dynasty in the domestic idol industry."

As soon as she came up to present such a high hat, Ms. Gu Changge was not moved at all: "With all due respect to Mr. Peng, I did a little homework before coming here today, and the idol industry you mentioned doesn't seem to exist at all. "

This is the point, Peng Yuchen smiled slightly, this is her professional field.

"Before we discuss this topic, allow me to tell you about my past experience."

"I entered this industry by chance, because I studied Japanese in college and was exposed to this information naturally."

"You may know that Japan is the first place where idol artists were born, but Japan is also an isolated island of world culture."

"Until the turn of the century, the Korean entertainment industry began to imitate Japan to create idol artists, and actively promoted them to various parts of Asia, which aroused considerable repercussions."

"I noticed this very quickly. Relying on the huge domestic market, I had a deep relationship with the Korean industry and carefully studied the operation mode of those star-making factories."

"Until last year, I decided to start a business together with a few friends who had ideas, and got a start-up capital."

"As the most important promoter, the company is named Iron Eater Entertainment after my hometown - the auspiciousness in Sichuan."

"I introduce these because I hope you understand that when I claim to be the most knowledgeable and experienced practitioner of the idol industry in China, you will not think that I am talking nonsense."

Peng Yuchen talked about the first half of his life almost in one breath, and stopped for a sip of tea after he finished speaking, to give the other party time to digest.

Gu Changge knew that she was showing her strength to herself. If she hadn't lied about her resume, she might really be qualified to say so.

"So first of all, I must point out a misunderstanding you just had. It cannot be said that the domestic idol industry does not exist at all."

"In fact, people of insight in the entertainment industry have long discovered that this is the general trend in the future. Three years ago, there was a five-member boy group launched in cooperation with South Korea."

"This company has a strong background in China, and it is Shonan Satellite TV, the No. [-] local TV station, so this combination still has a certain influence."

"One of the reasons why I chose to build a women's group first is that I don't want to go head-to-head with them, because my resources are not as good as Shonan TV anyway."

Gu Changge is indeed a layman in this regard, and she knows that her opinion based on hearsay is definitely not as good as that of a real insider.

But she has her own social experience and life experience, and she will not easily take what Peng Yuchen instilled in her seriously.

"According to Mr. Peng, if Xiangnan TV launches its own girl group again, won't you have to give way to them again?"

Peng Yuchen shook his head: "You have misunderstood Ms. Gu. I just said that it is one of the reasons for being a girl group, but it is not the only one, nor is it the most important one."

"I must make one thing clear to you, this is my life's work and I will not give way to anyone."

"Also, in fact, the combination I just mentioned didn't operate successfully, it just had a sense of presence in my own one-acre three-point land."

"I think it's because people from Shonan TV are still habitually making idols in the way they used to do grassroots talent shows, and they don't know the point at all."

Gu Changge put down the teacup: "Mr. Peng, let's put it this way, I'm not interested in your knowledge in this industry."

"Actually, what you are going to sign with my daughter is a trainee contract, right? After signing, she can't even be called an artist of your company."

Peng Yuchen felt that it was finally the right time, and expressed the sincerity she had prepared long ago:

"Ms. Gu, I can promise to guarantee your daughter's debut."

Chapter 135 Ms. Gu, Times Have Changed

After Peng Yuchen's words came out, there was a brief silence.

She thought that Gu Changge was questioning the validity of this sentence, and explained another sentence: "Ms. Gu, although the company has several partners and investors, I have the final decision-making power on business issues."

"This, we can implement in the contract."

Peng Yuchen made a mistake. She thought that the promise of debut was a very important condition, but in Gu Changge's eyes, it was even more true that this was just a small workshop that couldn't get on the table.

What kind of amazing opportunity could it be to promise so easily?

"Mr. Peng, I'll just say it straight. Thank you very much for your love for Xiaowei, but I don't think she will develop well with you."

Did not get the expected positive feedback, and Peng Yuchen did not lose his footing: "Dare to ask Ms. Gu, what do you think is a good development?"

"If Xiaowei really wants to pursue art, I hope she can get long-term study and training in a professional art school, and then enter the industry through more formal channels."

Peng Yuchen tried to educate her: "Ms. Gu, I have to say that your knowledge of this industry may still be ten years ago."

"You have two misunderstandings."

"First, we will also conduct systematic and formal training for trainees, and compared with campuses far away from the front line of the industry, our training will definitely be more targeted."

"And we will also use available resources. In fact, we have a very close cooperation with the Rongcheng Conservatory of Music. It's just that Xiao Gu told me that she hopes to be admitted to a key university in Beijing."

"As for your daughter, since I promise you to send her to debut, we will of course create her with the highest artist standards."

"We don't charge any fees, but invest in real money, and this standard will only be far higher than the standard of the professional colleges you mentioned."

"Secondly, your so-called more formal channels are a false proposition."

"In the past few years, under the impact of the Internet, the traditional recording industry has declined rapidly almost visible to the naked eye, and many famous artists have fallen into trouble."

"By the time your daughter graduates, I doubt whether they really have the ability to introduce new people?"

"As for the film and television industry, it is a very closed circle. Although the mainland has a very special model of sending talents from acting schools to the industry, the chances of this are very slim."

"There are only one or two stars in a class, and most of the rest are unknown, not to mention that they have to go through cruel selection when they enter the school."

"Actually, in the two countries I just mentioned where the idol industry is mature, they are the main way for the industry to absorb young artists."

"Idols must first pass the test of the market."

"Successful idols prove that they can be favored by fans, and then transform into professional singers or actors with the existing popularity."

"I think the emergence of the idol industry is an innovation in the hematopoietic function of the entertainment industry, and it will be an irreplaceable part in the future."

"In the near future, if you meet young actors or singers who are somewhat famous, nine out of ten will be idols."

"Because the current trend has become more and more clear that popularity is the cornerstone that determines everything. Those who are popular are called artists, and those who are not popular can only be called passers-by."

Peng Yuchen's statement is based on her industry knowledge. In the era of mobile Internet, the popularity of her mouth can be converted into traffic.

However, Ms. Gu Changge really disagrees with this view: "I am well aware of how fierce the competition in this industry is, but it is precisely because of this that I must have a solid foundation."

"As the old saying goes, one minute on stage is worth ten years off stage. I don't think the so-called idols you mentioned can go far."

Her prejudice runs deeper than expected.

"Ms. Gu, it is a form of discrimination that you equate idols with lack of strength."

"Because idols usually debut at a young age, the process of growing up after that is also one of their important things to watch."

While explaining, Peng Yuchen was considering countermeasures. She was keenly aware of the information she had revealed to Gu Caiwei, and changed the subject: "Ms. Gu, I would like to ask, have you ever had experience in art?"

"I've sung before." Gu Changge didn't want to have a deep talk with her.

"I heard Xiao Gu say that you taught her to sing Yue opera when she was a child. In fact, I have a little understanding of Yue opera myself."

"I see your figure and appearance. If you can stick to the stage, you will definitely not let the five golden flowers be more beautiful than you."

The so-called "five golden flowers" refer to the five up-and-coming stars vigorously cultivated by the Jiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe in the early 80s. They were once extremely popular, and the most well-known of them should be the famous actor He Saifei who later transformed into a film and television actor.

Gu Changge knew that Peng Yuchen's words were polite. In fact, she gave up singing not because she didn't want to, but because she failed on this road.

"Personally, I appreciate you and other traditional opera actors' emphasis on and persistence in artistic standards, as well as your honing and research on your own skills."

"But I still have to say that times have changed."

"Traditional opera can be taught on a master-apprentice basis. You can practice silently in the audience for more than ten years, and wait until you have mastered your skills before appearing on stage."

"This kind of troupe-style training method can no longer adapt to the fast-paced modern entertainment life."

Not much speculation.

Gu Changge believes that it is impossible to really improve his daughter's artistic talent with this kind of businessman's style that always claims profit.

"Mr. Peng, you have your opinion, and I have mine."

"I don't think we need to force each other to persuade each other, but I will definitely not agree with Xiaowei signing a trainee contract with you."

Peng Yuchen was not discouraged, nor would he give up lightly: "Ms. Gu, it may be influenced by public opinion. You still have many widespread misunderstandings about the idol industry."

"I'm very happy to answer your questions on this matter, and I think we should also respect the opinions of Xiao Gu, the person involved, right?"

Gu Changge sneered unceremoniously: "The biggest difference between us is that what I value is my daughter's future, while what you value is only profit."

Peng Yuchen did not give in:

"I admit that what I value most is Gu Caiwei's economic value, but Ms. Gu, I must pay more attention to whether her acting experience is successful than you."

"After all, even if she fails, it's nothing more than going back to be her rich girl, but I have gambled half my life's accumulation and my entire career."

There is no point in continuing this conversation.

Gu Changge summed it up simply: "I never asked Xiaowei to succeed."

Peng Yuchen's attitude can be said to be a bit aggressive: "Why should we pretend to be noble? I can see that you are not the kind of person who is busy with life."

"But since as a career, one should of course pursue success, isn't the so-called disregarding success or failure just playing tricks?"

"Did you also have this kind of mentality when you were singing?"

Peng Yuchen is not a person who moves emotionally casually, and she doesn't want to win or lose with her mouth. She sees that today may return in vain, and now she hopes to touch her by saying some serious words.

This sentence really made Ms. Gu Changge extremely displeased. She kept her last demeanor, stood up and said, "Don't bother Mr. Peng about the matter between me and Xiaowei."

"Farewell."

Gu Changge walked away, and Peng Yuchen sat silently on the spot, replaying the conversation just now for a while.

She re-examined the furnishings in the house. It is difficult for outsiders to enter such a good place without the guidance of regular customers.

So she stood up and opened the window to look at the scenery. The lake and mountains in the distance set off each other, which can be described as pleasing to the eye.

"Good things take a long time."

Chapter 136 Don't bully the poor

The first meeting between Ms. Gu Changge and Peng Yuchen broke up quickly, but she didn't tell her daughter the news right away.

Because she has decided to make Gu Caiwei change her mind and give up being some inexplicable trainee, but she still has other considerations.

First of all, Gu Caiwei seemed to be deeply poisoned by that Peng Yuchen, and if it was forced, it would be inevitable that the mother and daughter would have direct conflicts, which she did not want to see.

Secondly, Xiao Wei's birthday is coming soon. This is her coming of age ceremony, which is of great significance, and she also attaches great importance to it.

Thirdly, she felt that Lin Yi's attitude on this matter was very suspicious before, and she planned to test Lin Yi's real thoughts.

So she appeared in front of Lin Yi.

This was in Zhao Mingcheng's office. As soon as Lin entered the door and saw Ms. Gu Changge sitting alone, he called out in his heart that old Zhao was cheating.

Hurriedly calling himself here without saying hello in advance, he was actually preaching the imperial decree for Queen Mother Gu?

Old Zhao, your compulsion is broken!

Ms. Gu Changge seemed to know what he was thinking: "I asked Teacher Zhao to invite you, Lin Yi, I have something to talk to you about."

Lin Yi didn't ask why he didn't ask Gu Caiwei to come with him, nor did he ask where Lao Zhao had gone, but he was ready to stand at attention when he was beaten:

"You say."

Gu Changge cut to the chase: "I've already met that Peng Yuchen. I heard from Xiaowei that you met her together during the National Day, right?"

Lin Yi secretly speculated that this meeting was probably not very pleasant.

"Yes, in a Golden Arch on Hefang Street."

"Xiaowei also said that you supported her to become a trainee. I want to know what you think?"

Lin Yi tried his best to downplay his influence: "Aunt Gu, this matter is actually very simple. I only encouraged her after Gu Caiwei made up her mind."

"But I want to say that no matter what kind of dream Gu Caiwei has or what kind of life she wants to pursue, I will support her without hesitation."

When Gu Changge heard this, he found that Lin Yi was still standing there, looking like he was being trained, so he pointed to the empty chair next to him:

"Sit down and talk."

Of course, Lin Yi didn't like standing for punishment, so Gu Changge continued after he sat down:

"Lin Yi, you respect and support Xiao Wei's ideals. I really appreciate your kindness, which means you didn't receive education in Linzhong Bai."
