[Entertainment circle] Bo Bohu who pulls radish

Luo Xinduo knew very well that with the expiration of the contract this time, she would usher in a very important turning point on this road, and asked herself that in her eyes, the decision to renew the contract this time was actually in disguise. A kind of thinking about whether I will continue to be an "idol singer" in the future.

She clearly understands the current situation. Although among the new generation of girl groups, there are few or only "purely active" idols who have successfully won the newcomer award and the best girl group award. The women's group with major achievement awards on the road.

To be honest, for Luo Xinduo, she has already reached the front line of the Top level in this path of female idol, and to put it bluntly, there are still higher titles like the title of "Empress" of her seniors when she was young. The existence of an epoch-making "climbing level" in the concept of girl groups.

But for Luo Xinduo, she actually doesn't have such a big desire. It is not easy to achieve the first-line Top, and to climb to the top, not to mention whether this matter is really necessary, is whether there is another chance to succeed. These questions are very worthy of Luo Xinduo's thinking.

Thinking about her current situation, although the two girl groups related to her, whether it is Mamamoo or GFRIEND, have successfully created a "first-line miracle" that is rare for small companies, and even one of them is more in line with the public's definition of "standard girl group". GFRIEND has just won the titles of "Best Girl Group of the Year" and "Best Song of the Year".So much so that as a related contact of the two groups, many viewers who pay attention to Kpop define her as a "girl group koi".

But in reality, for her, the two groups now are Mamamoo, who has already used her "unique style" to get on the right track. Since she doesn't match her "concept" well, it may not be a good thing for her to return to the group. good thing.

As for GFRIEND, although their concepts fit together, the opposite sides belong to two companies after all.

Although Sushi Music has offered a very good condition for her in the return of several cooperations, but such a condition is still based on the fact that her popularity and traffic are far higher than those of other members of GFRIEND. Only under the premise can it be established.

And now, after she accompanied GFRIEND at the beginning of the year and successfully appeared in the circle with the "New Year Song" "Time Passes", GFRIEND itself soon succeeded in "You and Me" without her participating in the comeback Take a few.

So at this moment, GFRIEND has already taken shape. In this case, the value of her existence has actually begun to "weaken". Therefore, although it may be seen from the current point of view, because she has a good relationship with several members of GFRIEND. Well, if everyone has adapted to the operation of the group, and she herself does not occupy the company's "personal resources", they may not have any big opinions on her.

But even if the members have no opinion, what about the company?The company wants to make money, and thinking back to the super generous share that Sushi Music gave to Rainbow Bridge for her joining, Luo Xinduo is sure that if it weren't for the fact that no one would have thought that "The Passage of Time" would immediately become popular when it came out. At this level, it is absolutely impossible for sushi music to give them such a generous share.

So this in itself is a hidden danger, although if she really wants to act as a member of GFRIEND and take the attitude of sushi music towards herself, it is not impossible to go to sushi music after the contract at Rainbow Bridge ends.

But Luo Xinduo asked herself, not to mention the so-called "moral issues", just talking about herself, knowing that if she went to Sushi Music, she would definitely not be as free as she was in Rainbow Bridge, and it was almost impossible for her to do this decision.

She is very clear that for Rainbow Bridge, although she is not strictly a member of Mamamoo now, and her studio is a separate venture and has not been listed under the name of Rainbow Bridge, which makes her face The connection between the Internet and the Rainbow Bridge is not strong.

But no matter what, she made her debut among the first-generation girl groups launched by Rainbow Bridge, and as the first first-generation artist who successfully got out of the group and brought "big profits" to the group or the company, even if the company is big or small Xiaozai is always the same before the benefits, but the first-generation artists will be different from the next-generation artists after all, and from the current point of view, she does not believe that Rainbow Bridge will really do nothing when her contract ends After that, let her leave automatically.

And when Rainbow Bridge finds a way to discuss contract renewal, that is the most convenient time for her to make a request, but this time, she feels that regarding her identity as an idol artist and the form of signing with the company...

"Maybe it's time to redefine it cautiously."

Luo Xinduo felt that she had to rethink her position as an artist, and...

"She doesn't seem suitable to continue being an idol artist now, does she?"

Luo Xinduo looked at the door of her house, or in the direction of the "opposite door" of her house, sighed slightly, then shook her head with a smile.

She knows that many things should be carefully planned now.

This year is the end of 2016. Excluding the last few days, counting as 2017, the exo where Bian Baekhyun is working has already debuted for the fifth year. If there is no accident, according to what Bian Baekhyun said before, Judging from the fact that their company will start preparing for his solo album this year, there is a high probability that their team will start to change from the planning direction of "focusing on group activities" to carrying out "individual activities" in the next few years.

And once they start to carry out individual activities on a large scale, each of them will have less and less influence on the team. By then, Baekhyun will be 25 years old at the moment, and Nanchao algorithm will be 26 years old. As the period of military service approaches , fans' "rigid requirements" for him to set up a single character will also become lower and lower.

So looking at the relationship between the two of them now, the biggest problem is actually myself.Idol is a kind of professional ability to sing and dance, but also to give fans a fantasy image that tends to be "boyfriend and girlfriend status".

Therefore, based on the general aesthetics of the public, when the composition of fans of idol artists is mainly concentrated in "young groups" such as "students", the most sensitive aspect of love is nothing more than following the "sunshine youth type", which is similar to "standards". Male idols with the image of "school girl", and female idols with "gentle goddess type", which is the so-called "pure school beauty".

These two types of idol artists, when their own image is closest to the so-called "campus aesthetics", are often the most difficult type of artist for fans to accept their love for.And her image just stepped on "all minefields" in this regard.

The pure image, the personality of a schoolmaster, the template of a standard campus goddess image, at this point is just like the image of the "standard idol" when she debuted and went out of the circle, the more her personality is in line with the public's perception According to the standard of the idol profession, the corresponding audience's "sensitivity" to her violating idol taboos is higher.

So the top priority is, if she really wants to continue this relationship and prepare for the "openness" that will be revealed later, then she must stop as soon as possible, as soon as possible The trend of dividends brought about by standard idols.

Only in this way can we truly stop the loss in a timely manner, so from all aspects, the best and most direct solution for her now is undoubtedly...

"Find a suitable opportunity to terminate your activities as an idol."

The choice between career and love, after all, is the time to choose between the two.But for Luo Xinduo at this moment, since she has already reached the heights that the first-line girl groups can achieve in the "normal state", she actually doesn't have too many regrets.

In addition, she still has her own "video production studio", she understands that even if she really abandons her identity as an artist, she still has other life goals to pursue.And she knew very well that it was impossible to be an idol for a lifetime.

At this point, just like Sushi Music has been trying to find ways to help GFRIEND transform into the circle with a pure power style, in fact, this is essentially because the career life of idol artists is too short, and pure artists are flaunting a young and pure image Under the premise that the career life is shorter, it is a compromise that has to be made.

So no matter where you go on the road of being an idol, you will have to face the problem of career transition sooner or later, now that you have made certain achievements on this road.Well, on the premise that her career life is limited, she actually doesn't dislike the so-called transformation or even "changing careers". She just didn't think that her idea of ​​"transition" would come so early.

In 2016, when the new year has not yet come, she is still 20 years old in essence. Even if she uses the Southern Dynasty algorithm, she is only 21 years old. In fact, she is in the "golden age" of an idol's career. She knows that she is making In fact, this decision has no "professionalism", but in her opinion, it is good to have something like "professionalism", and having too much professionalism may not be a good thing.

In addition, it was an accident that she was able to step into this industry, so when she thinks that she is satisfied with being able to get to where she is today, she really doesn't mind suspending her so-called "great future" ",and……

"If you want to be happy in your life, you can't just have a career, can't you?"

If you are too greedy and want to have both, it is easy to become empty-handed, but is she going to make a decision so quickly, and is Baekhyun worth it for her to choose to give up what she has already got? ...

Luo Xinduo thinks she has no answer, but at least so far, she knows that she wants to try and take a gamble.

So a few days later, as the year-end schedule was coming to an end, Sushi Music began to discuss the future with Luo Xinduo's Rainbow Bridge as promised earlier because of the sprint for the year-end awards. Years later, when GFRIEND will have Luo Xinduo participating in their first comeback in 2017, Luo Xinduo took advantage of this wave of discussions to propose to the producers representatives of the two companies that she would like to start a transformation idea.

At the same time, it also indicated that GFRIEND's return this time is likely to be her last wish to return as an "idol".

The heavy news is cast. To be honest, at this moment, I really have to be so direct with the representatives of the two brokerage companies, and express such willingness without any prior preparation. It is absolutely impossible to be completely free of any panic.

She just knows this kind of thing very well, and the longer it is delayed, the easier it is to involve more people and things, so she feels that at least for now, given that she has a general idea and plan, she should arrange it as soon as possible. In this way, the information is notified to the representatives on both sides as soon as possible, and the teams on both sides are given a period of time to prepare. This is what she can and must do. It is the "responsibility" to minimize the impact of her decision.

It's just that she didn't expect that for her decision, the representatives on both sides, apart from contacting Luo Xinduo and not many representatives of sushi music, changed their expressions slightly, revealing some unexpected expressions. On the contrary, Jin Daoxun, the representative of Jin Daoxun, had an expression of "as expected", and although he did not directly agree with Luo Xinduo's sky, he also gave Luo Xinduo a certain amount of support, and told the sushi music in the meeting that it could Using the concept of Luo Xinduo's "graduation album" as an affirmation of GFRIEND's new album promotion gimmick.

Such a straightforward and neat decision was completely beyond Luo Xinduo's expectation.

In her eyes, even if her daily running schedule is not as much as that of Mamamoo's O'Neills, and even if she has some profits, the company still needs to share with Sushi Yuyu.

However, considering her own traffic and the benefits she brought from her trip in China, Luo Xinduo believes that the benefits she has brought to the company, as well as the market value, are impossible for a big company to give up so easily. A "traffic artist" who has formed and has considerable market value.

What's more, Rainbow Bridge at this moment is just a girl group that has just managed to touch the "medium-sized group" because of its first-generation girl group, Mamamoo broke through and squeezed into the so-called "four-generation girl group and five kings", and Luo Xinduo went to get results after Solo. The "small and medium-sized planning agency" of the batch tail of the planning agency.

The company's development is still at a point in time to find a breakthrough point, so even if Luo Xinduo's contract is about to expire, Luo Xinduo doesn't think Rainbow Bridge will have any idea of ​​"renewing the contract" with her at all. Therefore, after the meeting that day, Luo Xinduo didn't bother to grind, and directly expressed his doubts to the representative of his company after the sushi music person left.

She didn't understand why her representative's reaction seemed to have been expected long ago, but whoever wanted to face her question, Jin Daoxun's reaction was...

"Because I know very well that with your personality, you will propose this intention, which means that you don't value the status of an artist so much, so after confirming that you are basically not likely to choose to go to other companies and become Rainbow In the case of Bridge's competitors, I think we can change to another way of cooperation."

"Another way of cooperation?"

Luo Xinduo blinked her eyes, she was a little puzzled, because she couldn't think of any other way to cooperate with Rainbow Bridge if she was not going to be active as an idol artist at the moment.

After all, even considering her own "video production studio", she may have a lot of contacts with Rainbow Bridge in terms of business. Such a long "cooperation experience" will definitely give Rainbow Bridge a "friendship price" that is completely different from other companies, and even put it on the market, it may be compared to a "family price" with more advantageous prices. .

Luo Xinduo couldn't figure out the possibility of a "new cooperation model" between herself and Rainbow Bridge, but it was at this moment when her doubtful voice just fell...

Jin Daoxun: "How do you think the last time you cooperated with the so-called "goose" over there in Huaxia?"

"Goose? It's good, wait...it means you mean..."

At that second, Luo Xinduo's first reaction was that Rainbow Bridge might want to transfer her contract to Huaxia's goose factory to earn a wave of "medium price difference", but in the next second she changed her mind. I denied this guess that was too "first reaction".

Her contract with Rainbow Bridge only has half a year left, and the transfer of the contract needs to be approved by the person concerned, and the half-year period has already indicated that "I don't want to continue to be an idol artist for a long time" In case of going to the event.She doesn't think her contract has any transferable value when it's about to expire.

However, what she didn't know was that she completely misunderstood what Jin Daoxun meant this time, because the reason why Jin Daoxun mentioned this "big factory" in China was...

Kim Do-hoon: "Have you ever thought about trying to be a 'variety show producer'?"

"Variety show producer?"

Luo Xinduo raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard the words. She didn't expect that her representative would suddenly mention such a thing, but at the same time, if it was this identity, considering the existence of Goose, a big Chinese factory, she would also I can roughly think of what my representative is referring to, but why is it a variety show producer?

Luo Xinduo was a little puzzled. After all, although she also tried the identity of a producer early, the MV producer she tried was essentially because of the "game artist" major she studied, and she was good at special effects In the case of similar post-production, it can be regarded as a "professional counterpart".Can variety shows be produced?

Sorry to say that Luo Xinduo is the type who is willing to follow variety shows, but making variety shows?Sorry, as a so-called "insider", I have more or less received some small variety shows on weekdays, especially the post-editing of the idol group "self-made group variety" of small and medium-sized brokerage companies, and the outsourcing of special effects production , she thinks that even if she had participated in a lot at the beginning.

There was even a variety show proposal for Mamamoo and GFRIEND, two groups that are related to themselves but have almost completely opposite styles and concepts, to "swap MV shooting".

But in the final analysis, the proposal and the production are completely two-level matters. The proposal is just a proposal. That is to consider and bear the risk of ratings after the later broadcast.

Luo Xinduo doesn't think that a layman can easily control the elements. However, Jin Daoxun said that Luo Xinduo didn't need to be so nervous at the same time:

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you a suggestion and I'm not asking you to start planning and producing immediately. I mean, since you don't plan to carry out activities as an idol artist for a long time, why don't you try to make an MV in your own right? Under the condition of being a human being, use your identity as a star producer to try more other related productions."

Kim Do-hoon: "Although there is indeed a big difference between MV production and variety show production, in the final analysis, whether it is an MV or a TV series; a movie, or a variety show, in the final analysis, it is to tell a story" It’s just a complete” story. It’s not a bad thing for you to participate and try more, and in this regard, it’s not impossible for the company to escort you…”

Luo Xinduo: "So what do you mean?"

At this point in the conversation, Luo Xinduo felt as if he had finally grasped what Jin Daoxun was referring to. At the same time, after seeing the big change in Luo Xinduo's expression, Jin Daoxun on the other side also knocked on the table clearly. Signaled Luo Xinduo to "return to his senses" and continued:

"Although our company is not a well-established production company, and since the main business is music production rather than program production, the majors are not so suitable, but our company has a large group of producers. After being around for so long, you must still have the connections you should have, and in your case, I think judging from the level and creativity of our MV planning you have given us so far, I don’t think you have no talent in this area at all, so... ..."

"So what are the conditions?"

Luo Xinduo interrupted Jin Daoxun's "eloquent talk" as if he was a little interested when he heard this.

Although she admits that Kim Do-hoon's proposal to try "variety show production" after giving up her status as an idol artist, she herself feels that there are too many problems and difficulties that are difficult to solve, but at the same time she has to admit that if she If she can really make such a name for herself as a variety show producer, then not to mention how good she is, at least if her professional status can be recognized.

Then the combined identities of the MV producer plus the variety show producer, and the two post-producers can definitely weaken the public's positioning of her as an "idol artist" to a long-term extent. When Baekhyun really develops to the point where he wants to make it public, he has already transformed into a producer in the eyes of the public, and he may not even plan to appear as an idol artist or even an "artist" himself...

"Although it is bound to be controversial, at least it should be relatively more tolerant."

……

Luo Xinduo didn't expect that one day she would fall in love with her, because of such a "detailed" reason, she had the idea of ​​trying a "new career form", but the same thing fell in love with her. It's not that there is no practical value at all, and...

"As for my suggestion on this point, I actually hope that you will not think about letting go of your idol status so quickly."

Kim Do-hoon: "You can try to get in touch with variety show production first, and then the company will give you corresponding support, and if you don't let go of your idol status for a while. Don't you have the best one right now?" Isn't it a cooperation platform?"

"You mean goose?"

Well, now Luo Xinduo roughly understood what Kim Dao-hoon meant, and at the same time Jin Dao-xun continued to explain after Luo Xinduo pointed out the core of his opinion:

"That's right, goose. Regarding this point, first of all, our company does not have a branch in Huaxia, so for Huaxia's entertainment company, you are now a "sweet potato" who has no agency in China but has a huge traffic. So my suggestion is that you simply sign your Huaxia contract under the goose platform, and then you can also use this wave of signings to obtain a certain amount of variety show production resources. At that time, your studio itself will have post-editing capabilities. , and then our team here will assist you when you are not proficient in business in the early stage, I think this possibility is very high."

"So what are the company's conditions? Although I admit that your proposal is indeed quite feasible. But at the same time, if I start to try to transform into the field of variety show production as you said, then I categorically It is impossible to have too much time to be an "artist", so I want to know what value I can have for Rainbow Bridge? So that the company is willing to help me like this?"

That's right, she knows very well that even if the cooperation between the two parties can be regarded as pleasant, in the final analysis, all cooperation should be based on a relatively balanced and reasonable distribution of benefits for both parties.

This is all about cooperation, but now, under Jin Daoxun's suggestion, what value can Luo Xinduo create for the company?This Luo Xinduo has to figure it out, and Jin Daoxun, who had expected this for a long time, nodded slightly and continued:

"I hope you don't terminate the contract with Rainbow Bridge."

Luo Xinduo: "Huh?"

Jin Daoxun: "Don't worry, we will definitely revise the terms of the contract, but this time in our new contract, Rainbow Bridge only has the agency right for your activities in the Southern Dynasty, and as long as you name it, We may not have any requirements for you to perform performing arts activities."

"Then what can the company get?"

Hearing this, Luo Xinduo was a little surprised that Jin Daoxun only asked for a "right to name". After all, it can't be said that the name is useless, but at least for now, it is nothing in Luo Xinduo's eyes. The "pure name" of the actual income itself really doesn't have much meaning, but Kim Dao-hoon's explanation for this is...

"In the future, I hope that Rainbow Bridge can develop to the point where it becomes a listed company."

Luo Xinduo: "Is it public?"

Kim Do-hoon: "That's right, it's listed. I think it's impossible for you not to know a company, especially an entertainment company, when it's going public. To a large extent, the company's artist lineup and future development potential will be considered."

Luo Xinduo: "I know, but then? With the current situation of Rainbow Bridge, if it wants to develop to the point where it will hit the market, that is, the subsequent combinations launched by the company will develop very smoothly, and it will take several years. Is it too early to think about this now?"

"That's why I hope you can keep in touch with Rainbow Bridge in this way. Anyway, your contract is about to expire, and you don't have much intention to continue to be an artist, so why don't I invest a little bit, if you really can eat To become a variety show producer who has successfully gained a foothold in the Chinese market, then in the future, I hope you will give me the opportunity when our company's Chinese artists who debut next go to China to develop."

Kim Do-hoon: "And if you really become a variety show producer worthy of attention, then even if it is actually just a nominal name, when the audit agency audits the company, it will add a considerable amount to the company's valuation. The bargaining chip, I say you can understand."

……

It must have been waiting for her here.

After Jin Daoxun's voice fell, Luo Xinduo was silent for a few seconds after listening to Jin Daoxun's words, and then gave a proposal that could be tried.

In her judgment, Kim Do-hoon's proposal is feasible to a certain extent, but apart from her own efforts as a producer and the assistance of Rainbow Bridge, there is another more critical factor in this feasibility, That is the support of the goose factory.

Luo Xinduo can't guarantee that her agency contract for Huaxia events will be so attractive that the other party, as a super-large comprehensive platform in the Huaxia market, will be willing to support her.

This in itself is a difficult thing to achieve, so in the situation where everything is out of order, the key points have not been settled, and no amount of planning is just empty talk.And compared to these temporary lies, she must seize the time to follow up her next "MV shooting" task related to the collaboration with Baekhyun, and she is expected to work with GFRIEND next. Once, it may be the last time I return as a "girl group member".

Anyway, the so-called "variety show producer" has not been written yet, so when Rainbow Bridge said that it would serve as her agency in the Southern Dynasty and help her connect with Goose Factory, There is no need for Luo Xinduo to think about it, just wait for the news.

The most important thing for her now is to hurry up and do a good job with her current ones. The itinerary has already been set, and considering the MV filmed with Bian Boxian, the plan is to cooperate with her to go to Huaxia to shoot another A material framing, when going to China to shoot on-site, there are some things...

(0//0)(0//0)...

"I'm thinking about something."

Luo Xinduo shook her head blushing at the thought of this, wanting to get rid of a lot of "messy" thoughts in her mind, but it's okay for anyone to think about this kind of thing usually. It really became out of control, so that in the next few days, Luo Xinduo's mind would always be affected by the appearance of those "or or that" chores from time to time.

So that until Luo Xinduo followed the photographers of his own studio as originally planned, he went to Huaxia to select the scene and collect materials at the time of the beginning of 2017, even if Bian Boxian's itinerary was It will be a few days until Luo Xinduo confirms the selection of the material and the scene, and then he will arrive after finishing the trip to the Southern Dynasty.

But for Luo Xinduo, during the entire voyage, he clearly realized that according to what someone said that day, as this wave of filming trips to China is about to begin, certain things will follow without accident The general development of Luo Xinduo's mind became more and more chaotic.

Nervous, flustered, excited...

Compared with when it is in progress, it is obvious that the impact of an event on people is actually more likely to occur when the parties involved know it in advance but it is the stage of formal development.And more importantly, because I inadvertently mentioned to my parents some time ago that I might go to Yunnan for filming, my parents are sure that she will not be able to go home for the Spring Festival this year.

So in the phone call before she was about to board the plane, the two elders who had fully confirmed Luo Xinduo's itinerary made a formal decision, and planned to travel directly to Yunnan while they had time.

Then when the time comes...

"Should I say hello to him in advance?"

Luo Xinduo, who was disturbed by various "urgent matters" on the plane, completely fell into "insomnia" in the entanglement.

The author has something to say: The chapter that was not uploaded last night, let me put it together tonight.
