How can I get confused with the top start

"I think we still have a good relationship", "Maybe we can sign him back", "I think it's okay, we worked together happily before", "Xiao Feng, you have always had a good relationship with artists, this matter I leave it to you"...

There was a lot of noise in the conference room, and Mr. Zhang frowned. He looked at the shareholders and executives in front of him, especially two of them were relatives. After a few minutes, he finally couldn't help it. He raised his voice and said, "Is there a passion? Our company Why is the head artist like this, I really think I don't know what you have done?"

"Do you really think that Chu Zhi is happy to cooperate with us, Kangfei Entertainment?" Mr. Zhang asked.

A few people in the conference room laughed and didn't say anything else. The unreasonable remarks in front of them were mainly due to their green eyes. Even if Chu Zhi didn't endorse at present, or released an album to test his "actual combat ability", even if the fans had half the purchasing power of the peak period, they would not The entertainment industry is also unique!

From the side, Sister Feng applauded Mr. Zhang in her heart, and gave a few instructions, thinking that others were stupid, and would still sign back, so what kind of incense was there.

Speaking of which, she and Chu Zhi had a bit of a crush on each other. Thinking of this, Sister Feng smiled unconsciously. She felt that the most correct decision she made in the second half of the year was to say hello to her and call to remind her.

"But just in case, Sister Feng, you'd better go try it." After getting angry at the executives in the meeting room, Mr. Zhang turned his head and said to Sister Feng.

"..." Sister Feng was speechless, a group of people wanted to fart.

Chapter 49 Look, what is a professional

Disciple of Big Cat: [Congratulations to Brother Nine for finally proving his innocence. 】

[Thanks to the evidence you collected, otherwise it would not be so easy. 】Chu Zhi replied.

Disciple of Big Cat: [Ninth brother, I have a document here, you can read it when you have time. 】

As he spoke, a document was sent by WeChat, the document was named "Analysis List of Domestic Brokerage Firms", and Chu Zhi accepted it.

Open it subconsciously, oh, this document is too complete, it is simply the homework of a large data due diligence company.

[Orange Sky Guanyu Entertainment Co., Ltd., whose business covers film, TV production, music and musical production, artist brokerage, advertising and new media, etc., is one of the entertainment companies with the strongest comprehensive strength in China...]

The following is a general introduction. These things can be queried on the Internet. Those that cannot be queried are reviewed and scored from five aspects: "star-making ability", "resources", "publicity and public relations", "performance", and "path suitability". , the sight is Chu Zhi.

The reason why Chu Zhi feels professional is not because there are too many words, and it is not because the words are too dense to read. The main reason is that the words are simple and clear, and the words are straightforward. At the beginning, he wondered whether the five aspects overlapped, such as resources and publicity ability. Strong, isn't it the ability to make stars?

Only by reading the report can I get a deeper understanding. There is an interesting phenomenon in the entertainment industry. The companies with the best star-making ability are the waist companies. The tricks of the giants are to dig back after the stars become famous. Chu Zhi immediately understood what caused this situation. The most important factor is that there is internal pressure in large companies, many arrangements cannot be implemented, and there are too many artists and resources are scattered, and it takes too much time to integrate.

In the questionnaire sent by Su Shangbaifa, the ones with the highest star-making ability are companies like Siba, which master the process of templates and can continuously launch products, which may be criticized by the audience.

橙天冠宇作为三大，造星能力73分、资源88分、宣传和公关90分、绩效69分、路径合适60分。

Especially for the item that the path is suitable, just after passing the pass, Su Shangbai analyzed that Orange Sky Guanyu's long-term route has always been the film market, and there are not many layouts in the record field. Thirteen of its wholly-owned holding companies are film and television companies. Streaming can make money, but it can't make big companies change their strategies.

"This is the legend that you know me better than me? Especially the item [Appropriate Path], from the development plan to the road development of each company, it is clear."

"The young man who can write this report came to our company to apply for a job in his previous life. I have to give him a department manager." The boss's blood in Chu Zhi's body awakened.

"Wait—" Chu Zhi reacted, and immediately switched back to the chat channel, half an hour had passed.

[Brokerage companies are too important to artists. I know Brother Jiu is a person with his own ideas. I hope these data can provide some help. 】

【What Brother Nine promised, try to eat on time, you should be able to do it. 】

[I was careless, brother Jiu has always kept his word. 】

[The company still has a meeting to host, so I'll log in first. 】

There are four messages in total, the latest one is 23 minutes ago.

As for presiding over the meeting, Xiaobai is basically sure that there is a company at home to inherit, no—it has already gone home to inherit it.

It's also because the statistics are so good, that's why I was fascinated after just looking at it. Chu Zhi replied: [Sorry I was fascinated by reading it just now. I have to pay attention to three meals a day. The documents are very helpful. There are tens of thousands of words in this survey, which is a waste of your time. 】

After replying, Chu Zhi was going to switch back the file, and Xiaobai also said to go to a meeting, but before he could cut it, it showed that there was a reply——

Disciple of the big cat: [The previous four items of star-making ability, resources, publicity and public relations, and performance were written by people from the market research department. I only analyzed the "suitable path", so I didn't waste much time. 】

Disciple of the big cat: [Ninth brother and I are sorry or something, so we will see each other. I am very happy to spend a little time to make Jiu brother's star career open. I will continue the meeting and leave first. 】

During the meeting, I can reply in seconds, the key is still the host, who is too good, Chu Zhi quickly replied "Busy, business matters. 】

An hour later, Chu Zhi went through the entire document, and the top three brokerage companies, Two Hearts Entertainment, Frog Frog Frog, and Sun Chuanhe scored the top three.

Sun Chuanhe, who was valued by Chu Zhi before, scored third. First Two Hearts Entertainment has exaggerated resources in endorsements and fashion circles, while Frog and Frog are good at making stars and publicizing, and they are relatively strong in organizing fan groups.

None of the three companies have top stars, and Sun Chuanhe, which ranks third, produces film and television resources. It can win more drama series adapted from popular IPs, and has cooperative relationships with many top music producers in the industry.

Earn money by endorsement, earn money by harvesting fans, earn money by works (whether good or bad), three directions.

"The simplest seems to be two-hearted entertainment... What if there is a little heartbeat."

Under the fierce inner competition, Chu Zhi still insisted on the initial choice—Taiyang Chuanhe, besides earning money, she also had a little artistic pursuit.

"The works of an artist are more important, especially as a singer, if he can become a world-class pop king like MJ and Elvis Presley, it will be a bit exciting to think about it." Chu Zhi muttered, after all, the moon abroad is rounder, so the growth of leeks abroad is also better. , Sharpen the knife and rush to the pigs and sheep.

"Wait, the world-class king of pop seems to be only American, a manifestation of cultural hegemony?"

Suddenly discovered this, the most famous singers on earth in the world are Jacky Cheung, Teresa Teng, and Jay Chou.

The most recognizable region of the three is Asia. It is a little bit reluctant to say that they are the king of pop in the world. Others say what awards they have won in the United States, and what are the top-selling traffic singers. .

This is even more so in the parallel world, where there are Asian-level superstars, none of whom can reach the popularity of MJ and Madonna.

"Let's take our time." Chu Zhi thought for a long time, and finally ended with this sentence, no one knew what was going on in his mind.

Chu Zhi silently set a small goal in her heart, and in the Golden Eagle Building far away in Star City, another discussion related to Chu Zhi happened.

Pei Louguo held the budget statement and invited nominations. His appearance was a typical "leadership appearance". Unlike Wang Ke, whose appearance was a little rough, the law lines on Pei's face would give people a sense of seriousness once he was unsmiling. Hou Yubin, the dictionary master, is a bit like that.

The serious atmosphere formed a coercion, and the staff in the room bowed their heads in silence, and they didn't look at Pei Louguo anyway.

A [Creativity Conference] was held in the meeting room. The theme was to conceive more ideas for variety shows, but it was actually just to discuss who the guests should invite. "Dream of Red Mansions" is a successful variety show. If it is not in the live broadcast mode, the calculation method of popularity clicks is different. Enter Mango TV In terms of variety shows, it should be second only to Celebrity Detective and I'm Really a Big Star.

If it is so successful, it should be well maintained, and don't think about reform and progress.

Chapter 50 Probably not

"Li Xijun, Zheng Min'an, and Li Xiuxian are all H country stars in a row. Have you considered the issue of the show's reputation and the topic of fawning on foreigners?" Pei Louguo tapped on the desktop.

again? The staff of the program production team of "A Dream of Red Mansions" heard what the chief producer said, and they understood in their hearts that he had made up his mind completely and checked all aspects. The extra question is just to hear ideas that fit his decision , To put it bluntly, I am looking for approval.

The man with glasses took the lead to speak: "Our Mango TV user catalog is all biased towards young people. This part of the audience is the main group of star-chasers, many of whom are fans of the princess group. They have a good impression of Korean stars. In this episode, we flew to country H to shoot Zheng Xuyao. The number of clicks increased by 58% compared with the previous period, and it also set the second highest viewer retention data for the show.”

Quite right, what he wanted to hear, Pei Louguo asked: "What is the princess group?"

"The name of the domestic fans for the Qingzhen GZ group." The man with glasses answered eloquently: "Originally the group's GZ is the abbreviation of Goodyear. Princess Qingzhen's regiment."

The man with glasses said popular science: "Princess Qingzhen is a very famous princess in country H. So far, the place in Seoul is named Xiaogongdong, which is named after her."

It's a bit exaggerated, Pei Louguo doesn't believe what the man with glasses said, because most star-chasers don't even know the names of the princesses in their own country, how can they know the name of the princess in the small country of Danwan?

"Not all of them know. Newly joined fans will think that the princess group is just the translation of GZ, but the core fans are all familiar." The man with glasses smiled bitterly: "I will know, and it was my ex-girlfriend who gave me science."

"Alternative cultural invasion." Pei Louguo realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Producer Pei, it's not that exaggerated." The spectacled man and the staff present all smiled, feeling that the chief producer was worrying unnecessarily. Invasion or something is too far away from them.

"So far, there have been two invasions of the Korean wave. The Korean dramas invaded from the end of the 90s to 2000. At that time, a group of bitter dramas were introduced, which made Korean style makeup popular in Asia. At the same time, they even changed their eating habits to a certain extent. Otherwise, who Would you like Bulgogi and kimchi army pot?"

Pei Louguo's expression became more serious as he spoke, and he continued: "Around 2010 was the second Hallyu invasion, and it was the girls' and boys' groups that came over. Korean clothing once again conquered cities in Asia, SJYP, BNX, SZ, Hazzys, etc. Brands have taken advantage of this wind to rise, and they have also forcibly torn off a share of the big domestic market that originally favored European, American, and island countries."

"You guys are right. In a way, Hallyu is not just a cultural invasion, because it also includes economics and import and export trade." Majoring in Economics and Trade, the research object of his graduation thesis is the economic benefits brought by Hallyu to Country H. Even though he has graduated for many years, he is still a visiting professor of International Economics and Trade at Nankai University.

In many cases, common sense can be deceiving. Common sense tells you how a TV program producer can be a visiting professor. Pei Louguo is really like that. People on the earth can’t think of Zheng Yuan who sings 1 reasons. He is a Beijing Opera Vocational College. He is also a visiting professor of the music department, and Pang Long, who sang two butterflies, is Shen Yin's lifelong professor.

The seriousness in the words of the chief producer made everyone here pay attention to it, and no one wanted to be invaded by culture. It has been 20 years since I said this, and it seems that the Hallyu wave has come back for the third time...

"Then shall we carefully discuss the invitation of Lee Seok-joon, Jung Min-an, and Lee Soo-hyun?" an employee asked.

"We must invite. The GZ group is very popular. We will invite other TV stations if we don't. It doesn't make any difference." Pei Louguo's tone was a little harsher, and he said: "It's really not good for Korean stars for three consecutive episodes. Let's invite another domestic artist. Stuck in the middle."

"Now your task is to think about it carefully. Which artist in China is good? Let's discuss freely." Pei Louguo spoke in a deliberative tone in the first half, and said directly in the second half: "Who do you think is better, Chu Zhi or Wu Tang? "

Yoho, it's Wu Tou and Chu Wei who speak, and it's capricious to have sponsors on the show.The key is backed by Mango TV, and they are also confident in their status. After all, inviting top-tier artists is not a matter of money or not.

If it is the front, the staff present don't know how to propose, but they can breathe a sigh of relief as soon as they say the second half of the sentence, the freedom of the specified scope is the freedom of social animals.

"Although Chu Zhi has now proved her innocence and her popularity is picking up, I feel that Wu Tang's support is even stronger."

"I feel that Chu Zhi's popularity should be higher than before after turning over. Looking at Weibo Chaochao in the past few days, the popularity is higher than that of Wu Tang, Li Xingwei, and Shen Yun."

"Hotness doesn't mean popularity. Don't you understand such a simple thing? Wu Tang's new album is about to be released, and there must be more topics. If I can plan it and accidentally expose new songs, I'm lucky to be able to create a famous scene in variety shows."

"Wu Tang's fee is definitely higher than Chu Zhi's. Chu Zhi has also composed two songs, and we can also shoot and create them. We can also play with them if there is a lot of enthusiasm. Considering the cost performance, I strongly recommend Chu Zhi."

After arguing endlessly, Pei Louguo listened to the discussion of the staff, and after ten minutes, he had a decision in his mind.

He said: "Just Chu Zhi, Chu Zhi has collaborated with us on two programs before, Director Wang also mentioned a few words to me, saying that he is very good at being a human being."

There will be many fragmentary problems in live variety shows, which require the cooperation of artists. Pei Louguo is just to be on the safe side. Anyway, he will leave it to Korean stars to gain popularity. It is good that domestic stars have no faults and no merits.

The next step is to negotiate the remuneration. Pei Louguo also generously gave the price of first-line stars, 300 million soft girl coins for a single episode. According to the university's high-level calculation answer, it is less than 20 per episode.

Don't think that the price is very high. If it is Wu Tang, it will be at least 2000 million, because the episode of "Dream of Red Mansions" takes several days and takes about a week, and the super first-line stars are top-notch. The quotation for recording the whole season of variety shows is 5000 million to 1 million. The specific price depends on the number of episodes. The base price of a single episode is 450 million, which takes about two days.

Needless to say, Chu Zhi could get a price similar to that of Wu Tang, or even higher, which means that his popularity has returned, but his strength has not yet been well recognized by the producer.

The budget was 400 million, and the asking price was 300 million. After the price was negotiated, the frog hat staff in the meeting room smiled. He is one of the screenwriters of "A Dream of Red Mansions". When you meet a talkative artist, the plot will be much easier to write.

Variety show promotion is an unscripted live broadcast, but no one really believes that it is unscripted, right?

At the end of the creative theme meeting, Pei Louguo looked at the form and talked to himself, the words were convincing himself——

"There shouldn't be. There won't be a third Hallyu invasion. Now the domestic groups and singers are not much weaker than the H country groups, and the TV dramas should not lose to the H country idol dramas."

The Road to Fandom

Chapter 51 Dream of the Red Chamber

Chu Zhi gained a certain amount of fame on Chinese poetry websites, not because someone discovered how good the little poems are, but mainly because within three weeks, they were selected as "Good Poems of the Day" three times, and once selected for the essay competition.

Since ancient times, literati have favored each other, and the number of words in small poems is small. It seems that the threshold is low and the literary content is shallow. Thirty or forty words can earn 500 yuan. Kindergarten math calculations cost more than ten yuan per word, and the price-performance ratio is too high.

Shangqiong Biluo: "Huainan, the poems are well written, but they are a bit short. I didn't know until I came to China Poetry Network for two or three years. It turns out that the reviewers on the website like short poems."

Huanghe Shanren: "Modern poetry can have more or less syllables, long or short rhymes, and rich and colorful genres, but I don't think there is no aesthetics at all, otherwise it will only lower the bottom line of poetry."

Ruin: "It's more like a QQ signature, I don't think so."

I didn't call my father or mother to greet my family, and the message was more literary, more of a hidden needle in the cotton, questioning Huainan's background.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the core factor is still a good poem every day. Only one poem is selected in a single day, and even if there is no good work, the position will be left empty.The cake is too small, let one person eat it, of course they will be attacked by the crowd, Chu Zhi remained unmoved, and posted two more songs today.

["untitled"

"Yue'er, what are you waiting for?"

"Hail to the sun to whom I will give way."

"Great Man"

A great man is a born child, and when he dies,

He gave the world his great childhood. ]

Poetry has a long way to go, and Chu Zhi didn't care about the specifics. Regarding the brokerage company, there have been some changes in the past few days, and it is still at odds with Sun Chuanhe. Even Sun is the best offer of all companies.

The person who contacted Chu Zhi was the head of the artist department of Sun (one of the shareholders). After the discussion failed, today's boss Huang Bo (chairman) called and said to find a time to meet.

"Okay, we'll meet and talk at that time." After hanging up the phone, the other party offered an A+ contract, which has great autonomy. The minimum condition in Chu Zhi's mind is an S-level contract. The studio is attached to the company.

Special explanation, A+ contract is a first-class contract, S contract is a super-first-class contract, there is no such thing as S+, S++, or S-level is S+, "+" is an additional condition, who does not add some conditions when signing a top-tier contract?Even if the details of each entertainment company are different, there is no difference in the general classification, which belongs to the default rules.

The additional condition that Li Xingwei signed with Da Hua is the title song of each album, the company must use all resources to collect songs, and he needs to be satisfied.The additional condition that Chu Zhi signed with Kangfei before was that Kangfei waived the right to terminate the contract, and the income from peripheral photos would not be divided into two items.

"Chu Zhi still disagrees?" the head of the artist department asked.

Huang Bo, the boss of Sun Chuanhe, said: "I didn't say whether I agreed or agreed. We will meet in Shanghai on December 15th and talk again."

The head of the artist department had a smile on his face. Regardless of whether Chu Zhi's appeal was the same as before, even if it was only half of the peak, it would be good to sign a contract with the company. In the view of the head manager, if the artist agreed to meet offline, it was basically stable.

"Wait, no, why is NO.15, that is, more than ten days later?" The head of the artist department realized that something was wrong, even if there was a schedule, one or two hours should still be spared.

""Dream of Red Mansions", Chu Zhi wants to be on Mango TV's variety show and then ask for the price." Boss Huang Bo hit the nail on the head.

The head of the artist department couldn't help but smile. Dream of Red Mansions is a highly discussed variety show at the moment, but it doesn't have the ability to make the stars take a step forward. Chu Zhi's thinking is still too young.

"It's okay to wait a little longer." The boss Huang Bo said, and then he asked about the company's business.

The entertainment company's business negotiation is very boring. What is more interesting is that Chu Zhi discovered a new system achievement——
