Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

The most glamorous thing in the entertainment industry is idols, and the bottom of the entertainment industry is also idols (not to mention the gray area of ​​photo stars and romantic action movie actors).The reason is simple, the shelf life of idols is usually only three to four years; and their best viewing period is the year of their debut.Generally speaking, audiences and critics will be very tolerant when singers and actors hit the so-called "newcomer wall" in their second year of debut; Will be crowned FLOP hat.This may be unfair to the idols, but who makes the idol's debut threshold the lowest?

Find 100 to 200 [-]- and [-]-year-old teenagers to train for two or three years, and half of them will be eliminated every year.Finally, select the best among the best and arrange about five of them to debut. Basically, the company will be able to pay back its capital in the first year.These teenagers don't need special talents, as long as their facial features are correct, if not, they can also choose plastic surgery.Then they sang saliva songs and danced blade dances, and countless young people screamed for them.They released several versions of their albums at a time, and then rushed to the top of the sales list by relying on the mindless consumption behavior of fans.Immediately afterwards, advertisers came to catch the heat. After a few advertisements and endorsements, an idol group's annual income is at least tens of millions.However, according to the strict contract of the brokerage company, these children can earn more than enough food and clothing in one year.So the fans felt distressed and spent desperately, otherwise next year, your idol will quietly bid farewell to the entertainment industry.

This is a cliff full of flowers, attracting countless boys and girls to climb up desperately, because they firmly believe that the last Iron Throne full of thorns belongs to them.And like other brokerage companies, Kylin Brokers will also launch a boy group and a girl group every year. If the sales are not satisfactory, there will be a backup group to replace them immediately; If you spend resources, it will depend on the fate of the regiment in the future.

Liuli Amber is the main girl group of Qilin Brokers. The three pure and lovely girls are quite attractive in the otaku market. In the first half of the year, two consecutive singles also won the weekly charts.And SunnyGirls is the senior sister of Liuli Amber. They have debuted for three years and are in the throes of idol group transformation.The sunny and vigorous image is no longer suitable for them, and the cool and slightly sexy|sexy route has not yet been recognized by the market, so they were told that if the next single did not improve, then the group would be abandoned by the company.

So when two people from different groups received invitations to audition for Li Wei's new film, the blessings they received seemed to be a little different.Liuli Amber is still on the rise, and everyone has their own resources. Some people are mainly in the advertising market, and the endorsements are soft; some are mainly in the variety show market, and they can watch it almost every day when they turn on the TV.So everyone is very happy that Ji Caixuan was able to get the arrangement of the company to make a movie, and the worry in the bottom of my heart about the disbandment due to internal strife due to resource differences has dropped a lot.But SunnyGirls is not so good internally. After all, everyone's only activity is to act as background artists in the variety shows of several seniors, which is not a little bit worse than the big hits back then.Now his captain actually has an audition invitation from a great director, God knows if this is the prelude to the company's plan to dismantle the group?With a different atmosphere in the group, the two boarded the nanny car arranged by the brokerage company, and then rushed to Li Wei's studio for an audition.

In the car, the agent specially asked: "I won't say much about Mr. Li's company. Think about the seniors he made popular. If he can support you, then your popularity will rise to a higher level." There is no problem. In addition to being a top planner in the entertainment industry, Mr. Li is also one of the best directors in the film industry. Have you read "My Diary of a Broken Love"? If it wasn't for the fact that there was no suitable candidate, the role of Bai Lili It’s ours. Imagine for yourself, if you were Bai Lili, what would you be now? Idols can only be for a while, but actors can be for a lifetime. There is no problem. You are also lucky this time, please give me Grab it!"

Both Li Wei's studio and the headquarters of Kylin Entertainment are located in the Kylin Building, while the headquarters of Kylin Brokerage is located with the Kylin Art School due to business needs.After all, Qilin Art School is located in the suburbs, and Qilin Real Estate also bought a lot of land back then, so it developed the so-called Qilin Star Apartments here, and several small apartments were separately enclosed for the use of its artists.Although many fans really bought a house because their stars lived here, this is not the case in reality.In order to keep stars and fans from disturbing each other, the real area for artists to live in is directly connected to the dormitory area of ​​Qilin Art School with a separate door, while the interior is separated by a small river.But even if you wade through the water, it's okay, because there are still walls blocking it.

Now Ji Caixuan and Xia Lan are not rich, so they are renting the apartment provided by the company.This kind of apartment will provide housing subsidies because you are a contracted artist under the company, so basically you only need to bear half of the utility bills to live well, so many artists who have just debuted in the company and do not want to live in the dormitory will come here rent.After all, it is a little bit bigger, and the company has a nanny car to pick it up; even if it is really a small coffee with low popularity, the bus and subway going out here are also very convenient.

After arriving at the Qilin Building, the manager took the two girls straight up to the floor where Li Wei's studio is located.Like all the first-time visitors to Li Wei's studio, Ji Caixuan and Xia Lan were also surprised by the purely casual office environment of Li Wei's studio.

The agent lowered his voice and said: "Although Li Wei's studio is not included in the Qilin Group, everyone in the group knows that this is the boss's own son! Their tea room was specially authorized by Starbucks, and their small The screening room is also the best in China. What 8KUHD picture quality, what Dolby Atmos... Tsk tsk, the construction cost alone scares me to death. ——Let’s go to their audition room first. Don’t be scared later! The audition room in the studio is completely a small theater stage."

Because of the shock of having Starbucks as a tea room, the two girls didn't have much feeling for the audition room like a small drama stage.Of course, this is because the two girls are not actors with professional backgrounds after all.If you are a serious professional actor, you will know a lot more about the stage of dialogue drama.Simply put, stage and stage are not the same.Some stages look very simple, but they are designed by masters. The sound engineering is very good, and the sound can be transmitted far without too much effort.The first place Ji Caixuan and Xia Lan went was the backstage. There was a small dressing room in the backstage. After the makeup artists, hair stylists and costume stylists confirmed their identities, they began to work professionally.

Xia Lan debuted for a long time, and also worked in the crew for a while.The make-up brand used by the make-up artist of the crew determines the sufficient production cost of the crew, and the make-up used by Li Wei Studio for the audition actors is actually the number one brand in the circle.The price of this brand is not enough to scare people away, but the output of this brand is not high, so they adopt a membership customer system.To put it simply, if it is not a customer recognized by others, they will not sell it yet.However, there is a reason why this brand is so popular among actresses in the industry. The makeup feels good and fits well, and the most important thing is that it does little damage to the skin.Female celebrities more or less rely on one face for food, so naturally they take extra care in skin care.Many actresses spend two hours obediently removing make-up, cleaning, and maintaining after the show, even in the middle of the night, lest there will be problems on their faces when they get up early tomorrow.Seeing that such a professional makeup brand is used here, Xia Lan immediately had a very high evaluation of the real financial resources of Li Wei's studio.

The two people who had put on makeup were in front of the acting director at this time, and Li Wei usually would not let the audition personnel go on stage without any preparation.Li Wei can accept that the actor's acting skills are not high enough for the time being, but he has high requirements for the actor's understanding and attitude.The two girls went on stage after being guided by their instructors, and in front of the stage were screenwriter and director Li Wei, producer He Zhao, casting director Long Liping, marketing director Song Hengqing, and business director Xie Bin.After Ji Caixuan and Xia Lan calmed down, they performed a plot of "The Brilliant Red Maple" according to Li Wei's request.

In comparison, Ji Caixuan's acting skills are a bit immature, but her spirituality is still enough; while Xia Lan committed the common problem of many novice actors, that is, acting too hard.Fortunately, these two people are still working hard, Li Wei nodded and thought that these two people can still pass the test.Producer He Zhao looked at the salaries of the next two actors and felt that the price/performance ratio was very advantageous, so he agreed.Song Hengqing and Xie Bin evaluated the appearance of the two people from the perspectives of audiences and advertisers respectively. They felt that the two people were very attractive to young people and young brands, so they also gave their opinions.

When the two came out after taking off their makeup, the agent held the hands of the two in surprise, "Congratulations! You will be the heroine of Mr. Li's new film soon. By the way, this is the script of this drama. In the past few days, you have to read the script well. And then the content of the script can’t be leaked, not only can’t you show it to your friends, even your teammates can’t read it. It will be hard when filming. Fortunately, Mr. Li’s crew is not short of money. There is a caravan on location, you can go to rest when you are tired. Be smart when you are on the crew, everyone is more experienced than you, don’t offend others! There are also masters of make-up and lighting, don’t look down on others, but It's easy for people to blackmail you. Let's stop here today, you go back and rest. I will find time to ask the company to arrange someone to tell you about the taboos of the crew, don't think it's my company's crew and don't care about it!"

The two girls were sent back to the apartment by the agent in ignorance, and the team members also learned the result immediately.Liuli Amber naturally proposed to have a big meal to celebrate, because they knew that as long as Ji Caixuan opened up the situation on the big screen, the whole group would benefit, and even they would have a chance to be discovered by the director.But SunnyGirls have different expressions internally, those who have a good relationship with Xia Lan will naturally send blessings, while those who have a bad relationship with Xia Lan will make all kinds of sour words.Everyone is not stupid, SunnyGirls has reached the end of the group, unless the sales of the next single brings a new turn for the group, otherwise everyone will have to think about their own future.

Generally speaking, even after the top group disbands, at most half of them can stay in the entertainment industry.Among these people in the entertainment circle, it is estimated that only one can maintain a more popular popularity than the team period, and the rest are struggling in the entertainment circle.And Xia Lan can participate in Li Wei's new film, so future contract renewal will naturally be given priority, and the rest of the people will have to consider whether Qilin's agency is willing to renew your contract.
