Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

After the audition, Li Wei's life began to enter a dull period.In addition to the regular team of "Ghost Talk Library", Li Wei's program invitations are also decreasing.After all, the promotional period of Li Wei's album has come to an end, and there is no support from other works, this kind of star who lacks topics will naturally be included in the "list of temporarily unnecessary attention" by the producers of the major program groups.Fortunately, Li Wei endorsed non-clothing and there are still some events that he can attend. At the same time, with the release of non-clothing's autumn and winter new styles, Li Wei's commercials and posters have also begun to be promoted across the country, which can be regarded as the last support for Li Wei's popularity.

"Hey, why didn't "VOGUE" release the special feature for you until the January issue of the new year?" Su Li said very depressed, "You only have one program and one advertisement now, I don't know if you will have more at the end of the year. Are you not popular? Will you be invited to the UTV Christmas Eve Concert broadcast live on the evening of December 12 and the Dragon and Phoenix New Year’s Eve concert broadcast live on December 24? , East TV, South TV and ATV's New Year special programs, I wonder if there is any chance?"

"Don't even think about the New Year's Eve at PTV. They have finalized the members of Dragon Team and Phoenix Team as early as the summer vacation. Have you received an invitation for me?" Li Wei replied with a relaxed face, " There is hope for ATV's four-hour special project, the Christmas Eve concert, but if there is still no news by the end of the month, we probably won't have any drama for us. To be honest, except for ATV's New Year's special program, which is more hopeful, the rest , let's not think too much about it. There is no way, who told us that the announcements that we received will all explode after the next year? The cover of the January issue of "VOGUE" will be out on the street in the few days at the end of December; "Probably will be released on the Laba Festival, which is considered to be a Lunar New Year drama at the end of the year. I have confirmed that "Fu from the Tang Dynasty" will be released as a spring drama, so it is probably a late drama at the nine o'clock stage of the Shuimu Theater." Li said. Wei also lay down on the table helplessly, "Oh, why don't we put down our social status and do some variety shows?"

"That won't work! You are not an artist, you are going to be the king of actor and singer in the future!" Su Li flatly rejected Li Wei's proposal.

In addition to not being topical enough now, Li Wei also has a high salary.Su Li's salary is now higher than that of second-tier actors. After all, Li Wei also has a lot of status in the modeling and music circles.Faced with Su Li's offer, naturally many producers of variety shows crossed out Li Wei's name from the bottom of their hearts.If Li Wei really wants to go to a variety show, Su Li can lower the price in the name of "friendship discount" to participate.

But the ecology of the entertainment industry is that once you lower the price, it is very difficult to raise it again.Moreover, if you show up too much in variety shows, you will actually consume too much of your popularity. In the end, the director will not want you to play the leading role, and you will eventually become an announcement artist.This is not Su Li's plan for Li Wei, so even if Li Wei doesn't have a show to go on, Su Li is not willing to lower the price to go on some boring variety talk shows.

But when Su Li had a headache, her cell phone vibrated.She took it out and looked at it, immediately beaming with joy.

"Do you know? I just received an email from Smart Fanzhi. She said that she hopes we can arrange a day next week or next week to record a special program of "APEX+APEX". This program will have three sessions. The first The first link is to announce their 100th single, which is the song you wrote; the second link is a 100-point tour of Donghai City, which requires you to participate; the third link will be their popular single 25 The first special stage for skewers. The average ratings of "APEX + APEX" are generally between 2% and 3%. This special project is estimated to reach an average rating of 5%. Now indoor variety shows can still have 5% The average viewership rating is already the trump card, so I promise it for you. Well, I will go to Smart Dream to record next Friday."

"Let me tell you, there has been no news about their 100th single. It was originally planned to be released in the New Year's file." Li Wei sighed.

Generally speaking, the New Year's file is the release date of the music giants, so those who dare to release singles at this time are definitely things that only the top domestic singers or groups dare to do.Otherwise, even if second-tier singers come to release the film, it is estimated that the sales will be dismal.

"I suddenly thought, should we consider the frequency of my releases? How long is a single? How long is an album? Then, should we do a concert? Should we also mention overseas singles? On the agenda?"

Li Wei's plan is something that every record company will consider. As the sales of physical records begin to shrink, singers tend to focus on singles.After all, the single production cycle is short (usually two to three songs plus the corresponding accompaniment or remix version), and the sales price is low (generally, the price of an ordinary disc is around 9.99 yuan), so the record company can release it very frequently. The single earns fans money, and the low price also makes many junior fans and passer-by fans willing to pay for it, and the sales are easily rushed up.

If the singer or group is not bad, after releasing five or six singles, the record company will take a few more songs and mix the A-side songs in the single to make an album; if the singer or group is weak, Then the record company will release a commemorative album after ten singles are collected, and add a few remixed versions to comfort fans.

When singers release their albums, they usually accompany their concerts at the same time. On the one hand, the concert can bring exposure to the album, and on the other hand, the official sales point of the concert will also take the opportunity to promote the album to fans and boost sales.After about one to two months after the concert, I will release a LIVE album and a live DVD, and then I can make money again.

Although everyone knows that this is a way to make money, but the fans are happy.However, in order not to consume too much fan enthusiasm, the record company will still plan a little bit.

"I think you can consider releasing two to three singles per year. If you have time to release a third single, you can consider releasing it for overseas markets; I suggest releasing an album every two years, because you still have models. Working with actors, one album a year must be tiring. But if you are not satisfied with the current schedule, you can consider releasing a single and an album in the first half of the year. The single is on Valentine’s Day, and the album is on summer.

As for your concert, I think it's better to wait until you have at least 20 hits.Doing concerts now is not just one concert, the domestic tour is at least '6+1', depending on your level.The six arenas always have to sing twice, right?Then there will be two more performances of Guoli or Donghai University, so at least fourteen performances will be sung.Even if you have no problem with your throat, it will take us at least two months to finish.It means that in the past two months, you can only go to some promotional concerts, and you can't do the rest of the work.I guess it will be difficult to allocate such a long time for you at that time, so let's think of a way then. Su Li said, "In the past, APEX and Storm could hold [-] to [-] concerts every year. Do you think they are doing well now?"We can't make up the schedule.Only a music-focused group like the Victory Boys can do it. "

"I see. The first half of the year is a single and an album. By the way, the music awards ceremony will start in December. How did I find out that I haven't received the invitation yet?" Li Wei was a little anxious.

There are seven formal music award ceremonies, and if some wild charts are included, there are at least 20 awards waiting to be awarded in the December music award season.Li Wei didn't believe that he couldn't catch even one, so he was a little worried.Although the digital album of "Asian Avenue of Stars" cannot participate in the mainstream awards, it is also good in the wild list, although this digital album has little to do with me.The important thing is that his first album "BORNTOBEFREE" is eligible.Li Wei also expects this album to open up his own music scene and establish his own status.

"What are you in a hurry for? Am I still talking with the organizers of the major award ceremonies?" Su Li couldn't help but roll a blank look when she saw the anxious Li Wei. "The Golden Melody Awards give you a chance to sing a solo at halftime, and MTV's VMA Music Festival gives you a halftime singing session. In addition, the Golden Melody Awards jointly presented by the four major radio stations allows you to start singing. Other awards Li, I’m talking slowly. By the way, how is the recent ATV concert tour? I think you still have to fly to other places to sing from time to time. If you really feel tired, I will find a way to help you cancel the later concerts. .”

"The platter concert is okay, and I don't need to sing every week. Basically, once every two weeks, there are about three songs, but the pay is very good." Li Wei said, "Besides, they also plan to sing in the New Year During the suspension period, we don't need to offend ATV and Yaxing production, after all, we still have other cooperation opportunities in the second season."

"Oops!" Just as Li Wei was speaking, Su Li's phone vibrated again.This time she glanced at her phone with a very shocked look in her eyes.

"I just received an email from the editor-in-chief of "Friday" magazine. She asked us to verify some things. During the filming of "Da Tang Concubine Fu", did any actors in the play develop feelings? Also, did you play tricks in the crew? Big name?

——Li Wei, since people asked about it, it means that they have already prepared a corresponding report topic.Now whether I respond or not, this topic is estimated to be out on the street in the early morning of this Friday.The company has a dormitory specially arranged for you, so don't go back this Thursday.I'll see if I can get the magazines early and see if I can deal with them. "

"Could it be the crew's hype?" Li Wei asked with a frown.

The crew will hype some news before the filming of the episode is completed or before it is uploaded.For example, a certain actor's scandal, a certain actor's disagreement...to increase the attention of the TV series.

"If the crew is making hype, they either release it on social media or cooperate with entertainment magazines. Paparazzi magazines like "Friday" always find their own hot spots, or others give them the news. Once they bite you, you will be in big trouble. !"

When APEX member Kuang Wei was promoted to the first-line actor, "Friday" published four consecutive special issues "Black" Kuang Wei.For example, Kuang Wei is not on good terms with the team members, and APEX is about to disband; Kuang Wei's late-night hotel recruits girls by phone, and several special service girls enter and leave Kuang Wei's room... This series of news will once again bring APEX, which is just about to take off, to the bottom. All the big brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry came out to endorse APEX, I'm afraid that APEX is really going to sink completely.

At that time, Li Wei was still at Smart Office, and the office was extremely furious at the time, but there was nothing they could do.
