Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

If you want to ask who is the most popular idol in China this summer, then half of the people will nominate Li Wei.As the winner of the national championship of the first season of "Asian Avenue of Stars", Li Wei can be said to have had a great time in the past six months.Although the "Peak Night" came to an end last Saturday, Li Wei only had one Sunday off before starting work.

First of all, ATV's music program and variety show sent a video notice. "Popular Center" was broadcast on Tuesday, so Li Wei had to go to the video on Monday; It will be aired on-demand, so the recording time is Thursday.In addition, Shi Liang's "Ghost Talk Library" also invited Li Wei to be a regular cast member, so Li Wei needs to go for an interview on Wednesday.

In addition to variety shows, Liu Wei also invites Li Wei to audition for the costumed palace comedy "The Princess Is Going Out of the Palace" directed by Liu Wei; there is also an additional endorsement contract for non-clothing, and Li Wei is also required to shoot promotional posters and other materials as soon as possible .

"Sister Su, what's the matter? I just ran out of the wolf's den, why do I feel like I've entered the tiger's den again?" Li Wei looked at his schedule and shouted very dissatisfied, "Look, I have my own time except Tuesday. Outside of the time, the rest of the time is working!"

"Be content! How many newcomers can have as many jobs as you now? Only with jobs can you get exposure and make money! Now you are carrying Qilin Entertainment and VTEAM behind you, how can you do it if you don't work hard to make money?" Su Li explained, " By the way, you and I went to see the car on Tuesday. In the future, you will have to catch up with announcements everywhere, and you can’t do without your own nanny car! After making a lot of money, you must have a car, otherwise it will take several months to go out for filming or TV drama location In the barren mountains, it is not convenient to go to the toilet!"

Li Wei shrugged, and then took Li Ke and Peng Duoli to ATV first, because they were going to record "Popular Center".The management team does not have a nanny car dedicated to Li Wei yet, so they will continue to requisition Su Li's SUV.

Music programs reached their peak ten years ago. At that time, as long as it was a comprehensive or entertainment TV station, there must be one or more music programs.Moreover, the music programs at that time were also willing to spend money. They were all beautiful stages, and it took at least three days to record a music program.With the launch of professional music channels such as MTV and BET, music programs have begun to decline. Except for the five major TV networks that each have a fixed music program, the rest of the TV stations have stopped broadcasting music programs.

But even for the five major TV networks, the production budget for music programs has been cut a lot.Among the current five major music programs, only Dongshi's "MusicStation" can be customized for the stage; the music programs that can also have a large stage for performances include PTV's "Golden Nightclub|Club" and Lianshi's "Diamond Stage"; NanTV's "Inkigayo" and ATV's "Popular Center" can only be recorded in the studio as a variety show, but the musicality is slightly higher.

Li Wei is now very popular at ATV. As soon as he entered the gate of ATV, countless people greeted him.Anyway, there is still a little distance from the recording time, so Li Wei has met everyone's requirements.Li Wei took Li Ke and Peng Duoli to the recording area of ​​"Popular Center", and then went to the backstage under the guidance of his assistant.Because Li Wei's level is not high enough, she can only put on makeup in the public rest area.

At this time, there are already many second- and third-tier singers and newcomers in the public rest area. Although Li Wei released a group CD during the Smart Office era, the office did not list AKids as a debut team, so Li Wei has Not even an official debut.As the youngest newcomer in the public rest area, Li Wei had to say hello to all the seniors here.Singers who have debuted for a long time are naturally good to return a gift, but the newcomers are still very sensible to present their works to Li Wei.After all, Li Wei's creative ability is obvious to all, plus Li Wei's home at ATV, these newcomers are still willing to give Li Wei some face.

After putting on makeup, the assistant director notified everyone to prepare for the video, and listed the order of everyone's appearance.Li Wei was the first to appear on the stage, and a certain first-line singer was the last to appear on the stage.In general, the first and last names listed in TV shows and shows are important characters; and the last name is more important than the first. "Popular Center" placed Li Wei as the opening guest, which shows how much ATV attaches importance to this newcomer, and it also makes some people put away their little thoughts.

Since Li Wei did not release an album, Li Wei just sang the song "The Price of Love" that he won at the peak night.Since "Popular Center" is a small booth, there are basically no live audiences.Except for the guests who come to play songs, the rest of the time is spent chatting about gossip in the music industry and flattering each other.Fortunately, Li Wei has received similar training in the office, so when the host brings up the topic, Li Wei can still play a role.

Although Li Wei's performance is still a bit jerky, as a newcomer, Li Wei's performance still satisfies the production team. "Popular Center" is a two-hour program. After deducting the commercial time, it takes about 80 minutes to record the content.For the safety of post-editing, the program group generally requires the host to record for 100 minutes.

After the program is recorded, the production assistant will give all the guests or his assistant an envelope, and the program fee is inside the envelope.By convention, except for the host's remuneration which is settled once a month (some are settled according to the broadcast season), the remuneration of guests (including fixed teams) is settled once a month.Generally, after receiving the envelope, everyone will not inquire about each other's salary. This will not only embarrass the other party, but also easily offend the production team.Li Ke is Li Wei's managerial assistant, and he is responsible for all the remuneration.

Because according to the agreement between Li Wei and his management team, Li Wei can only get his salary after his team has to transfer the share.However, the remuneration for this kind of variety show that is not a large-scale reality show or a large-scale celebration concert is not particularly high, but the recording of this kind of program is not difficult, and the accumulation of a small amount is also an income.Therefore, Huaxia State has a special kind of artist called Announcer, and they make a living by participating in various variety shows.If it is popular, you can get [-] or [-] announcements a month, which not only has a lot of exposure but also a good income.

When the amount of exposure reaches a certain level, some fast-moving consumer goods, food and commonly used pharmaceutical brands like to find them for advertising because of their high cost performance.Moreover, these announcement artists are also the most popular invitees for construction site shows, opening shows, event shows, tail teeth and spring dinners, because most of them can sing, talk, and be funny to drive the atmosphere, which is much better than ordinary artists.

After returning from ATV, Li Ke went to find the financial accountant.At present, VTEAM is temporarily working in a duplex building. The four rooms on the second floor are Li Wei's office, Su Li's office, financial office and personnel office.At present, the finance is borrowed from other companies. Although it is not safe enough, it is cheaper.The personnel administration was recruited by Su Li, but unfortunately they were all newcomers, which made Su Li a lot of trouble.

The downstairs master bedroom was converted into a meeting room; two guest rooms were arranged for four female employees who were not in Donghai City; the dining room and kitchen still played their original roles; the living room became the office area of ​​the publicity center the study room becomes the office area of ​​the planning center; and the small living room is the office area for assistants and others.Although the team has only reached half of the establishment for the time being, this duplex apartment is already full.So Su Li is now looking for a new office location, and at the same time planning to find an experienced administrator.After all, a good executive can provide excellent logistical support to all teams, as well as lubricate the relationship between employees.

On Tuesday, Su Li took Li Wei to the Motor City to choose a car, which was purchased in the name of Kirin Entertainment Co., Ltd.In fact, Li Wei thinks that if he finds a level, he will use a nanny car, which may arouse jealousy.

In the end, Su Li retorted: "Why do you want to put yourself at the level of those rookies? Do you think you will only be a third- and fourth-tier starlet in the future? My dear, your future will not only belong to the music circle, film and television circle, but also belong to Entertainment circles. Fashion magazine editors and fashion designers don’t want to see you sleepy or sloppy in a gossip tabloid! You have to know that the paparazzi are too powerful now, and even beautiful stars can be photographed Like the auntie next door. Do you want to see pictures of you picking your nose, snoozing, yawning, and eating with your mouth in the newspaper? So, be obedient and take the nanny car! Your privacy and image can be maximized protection of!"

Of course, there is no so-called "nanny car" model among the models sold on the market.Generally, nanny cars are RVs or refitted from SUVs, MPVs and other models.Hollywood big stars or domestic superstars naturally use RVs, and they are still two-story RVs.This kind of RV can not only allow actors to still enjoy urban life when shooting in the wild, because there are not only big beds, jacuzzi, game consoles, satellite TV, kitchen dining room, entertainment room in the RV, but also a small bar can be installed. After filming, it is for three or five friends to hold a small party.

Of course, the current Qilin Entertainment does not need to buy such a large RV for the time being. Generally, it is enough to buy an MPV for modification.Li Wei chose a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The original design of this car is close to that of a small RV, so it is no problem to use it as a nanny car.The driver's seat and the rear seat are completely separated, especially after the partition board is raised up, the front and rear seats become two independent spaces.

There are three rows in the back seat, but the last two rows have been converted into single beds, lavatory (integrated toilet, sink and shower room), wardrobe, refrigerator and microwave oven; while the front seat has two seats, and there is also a small Wet bar and entertainment room.Not only can you watch satellite TV, but you can also sing KTV and play video games.Finally, in the car storage area, a wardrobe can also be set up.After all, if Li Wei made too many announcements, he would need to bring more clothes.Su Li checked the interior of the car, and the rear windows all have curtains, which can completely block the shooting of the outside world.

In the end, Su Li put forward several suggestions for modification. One is to enlarge the fuel tank and battery pack, and at the same time install solar energy on the roof; the other is to increase the volume of the refrigerator; A large curtain is added to the rest area at the back to prevent the rest area from being photographed from the car door when the door is opened.The whole car plus modification fees and other seventy-seven eighty-eight eighty-eight dollars, this new car cost nearly more than 60 yuan, and the company account that was just a little bit rich was suddenly emptied.

"Actually, I can buy this car with my own money." Although there is a commission, Li Wei's income is still relatively high.

"This won't work. Since you are signed by a brokerage company, this is what you deserve. We are talking about business," Su Li said, "and I am also a rich man. With your example, we can sign an artist." Come in."

To be continued...

The author has something to say: Informed artists actually belong to the bottom of the entertainment industry, and the ones below them are the so-called young models, amateurs and ShowGirls.

In fact, the income of the vast majority of advertising artists is quite dismal. Taking Taiwan as an example, the income of first-line advertising artists is NT$6000 per installment (about [-] RMB), while the income of ordinary advertising artists is about NT$[-]. .

And how many announcements can you receive in a month?What about tax deductions?Then inform the artist that the installation fee is not low.

Therefore, there are many announced artists whose monthly income hovers around 50K, and even less than 30K.

Basically in Taipei, the income of most people is more than 50K, and there are not as many installation fees and entertainment as artists; while less than 30K in Taiwan is a poor household...

Therefore, it is actually very tragic to announce the artist.The ones who can stand out among the announced artists are basically the ones you often see in "Kangxi Is Coming".

The idea of ​​many Taiwanese artists is to become popular through "Kangxi Is Coming", and then receive events and tails in Taiwan on the one hand, and then come to the mainland to pan for gold on the other.Everyone knows that for a while, mainland variety shows and TV dramas were still very superstitious about Made in Taiwan.
