Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 55 First Line, Second Line, Third Line

After coming out of the movie theater, Yuan Hua and Yang Siwei found a high-end coffee shop to chat.

The city center is full of big companies and big shops. The people who come here are either high-level elites or leaders. Some people are not very excited after recognizing Yuan Hua, but they just take a closer look, and some don't know him at all.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Yuan Hua sat by the window while sipping coffee and watching the snowflakes fall.

"Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year."

"Yeah, the Spring Festival is just over a month away, and we can have a good year this year."

Just a few days ago, Yang Siwei's salary was raised. In view of Yuan Hua's high grades, she not only got a salary increase, but also got a bonus.

Now her salary is more than [-], and the new year is off to a good start. This year, she set a small goal, salary plus bonus, and she can earn [-] yuan.

Putting down the coffee, Yang Siwei smiled and said, "A few days ago, Mama Yang notified the selection of the Lantern Festival Gala. There were a lot of people who signed up, so I put your name on it."

"Originally, it was just a try, and it might not be possible to be selected, but now it's different, let the bullets fly, it will definitely become popular, maybe it will be this year's box office champion, you can be regarded as a firm foothold among the third-tier artists, and your value will rise accordingly, and you will be selected The odds are high."

"Only the third line?" Yuan Hua was a little embarrassed: "I always thought I was quite popular."

Struggle, going to the beach, let the bullets fly, which one is not a hit, for people like me, Xiaochou, Chengdu, which one is not a masterpiece.

The announcement was received softly, and the business show was too busy, so the business had to make an appointment one month in advance.

There are more media interviews, magazines, and TV stations.

There are as many as a dozen scripts that actively seek him out, the last one is the male number three, and several of them are the male number one, but the scripts are very popular, the names have never been heard, and Yuan Hua didn't take it.

He thought he was in the first line, but he didn't expect to gain a firm foothold in Yang Siwei's mouth that he was only in the third line.

"What you think is just what you think. You have to start from the audience's point of view." Yang Siwei explained to him patiently: "From your point of view, the endless work every day means that you are popular, which is normal."

"But from the audience's point of view, you have just entered their field of vision. Most of your commercial performances and announcements are aimed at a small number of people. There are still many people who don't know you."

"Fighting, you are the number three male number. After the broadcast, Tong Dawei's coat of arms became popular. Your popularity is very low. You only become famous after releasing a few albums and going to Shanghai."

"There is a comparison in the hearts of the audience. Tong Dawei, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Hu Ge and others are only second-tier. You are not popular yet. If the bullets are not released, in a few years, you believe If you don’t believe me, you will completely become a passerby.”

Yang Siwei understands the psychology of artists very well. An ordinary person has hundreds of thousands of fans in an instant. When walking on the street, people ask for photos, autographs, and beautiful female fans show love. There are countless businessmen and bosses who seek him to cooperate. Be polite, and it will inevitably become a little drifting over time.

In his world, he is indeed popular, but in the big world of the entertainment industry, he just changed from a small loach to a small carp.

"That's it." Yuan Hua sighed, he could only attribute it to the untimely birth.

In the previous life, after the emergence of 4G network, the traffic exploded, the information age came more fiercely and turbulently, the entertainment industry exploded, and countless capital ended up speculating on traffic.

Not to mention that one person acted in popular dramas such as Struggle, New Shanghai Beach, and Let the Bullets Fly at the same time, even if he only acted in one of them, his popularity will soar rapidly under the hype of capital.

With the support of more than a dozen variety shows a year, the promotion of hundreds of hot searches, and the efforts of countless marketing accounts and official accounts, it will soon reach the level of public awareness.

Don't you see that Xiao Xianrou has only acted in one or two dramas with a rating of four points, and has become top-notch under the promotion of capital. His popularity is not inferior to that of first-line artists, and his salary is tens of millions.

Now Yuan Hua has three popular dramas and three high-quality songs, no wonder he has the illusion that he is a first-line.

The result is that the standards of the times are different. In this era, artists rely on their works to speak. What is a good work?High audience rating is a standard, but winning is more important.

If you don't carry a few awards, no matter how popular your work is, at most it's just a high popularity, not a "corner", not a star!

Don't you see those CRBT saliva songs, with over [-] million downloads, known to the whole people, old ladies in the country can hum a few words, and singers are making money, but the mainstream media still doesn't recognize them.

Thinking that Yuan Hua was being beaten, Yang Siwei hurriedly comforted him, "Don't think too much, you debuted late, and it's already very fast to reach the third line in a year, and the second line is only a matter of time."

It is unfair to compare Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Deng Chao and others with Yuan Hua, mainly because they want to suppress his heart, fearing that he will be too drifting.

Which one of these people is not the lucky one of the times, talent, opportunity, everything is lacking, and it took more than ten years of filming and filming since college to get to where it is today.

As for Yuan Hua, Struggle aired at the beginning of last year, and Shanghai Beach aired in the second half of the year. In addition to Let the Bullets Fly, which was released today, it will be a full year of debut.

"How long will it take to reach the second line? Who sets the standard?"

"To be precise, there is no standard. The first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier movies were originally created by the film and television companies themselves. They divided the artists in the market into several positions according to their popularity, so as to give different remuneration."

"Over time, other film and television companies and some endorsement companies also refer to this kind of data, and over time, there are first-tier and second-tier sayings."

After glancing at Yuan Hua, Yang Siwei continued: "You can't play a second-line role in a supporting role, no matter how good you are, unless you are the number one male."

"If you're lucky, you can act in two or three male leads with good ratings. If you win an award, you'll be second-tier. For example, Huang Xiaoming and the others are like this."

"If you are lucky, a phenomenal blockbuster drama will win countless awards, such as Bright Sword and Soldier Assault, which will directly push you to the second line, but the possibility of this is very low, and it is rare in ten years."

The entertainment industry is a place of luck. Some people are very talented and good-looking, but after more than ten years, they just can't get popular.

Some people have average looks and poor network resources, but it's just a drama that explodes.

Who do you talk to for reasoning?

"Do you want to play the leading role in a popular drama? Is it so difficult?" Yuan Hua clicked his tongue: "Wouldn't it be more difficult in that line."

It has been a long time since he entered the industry, and Yuan Hua has a deep understanding of how difficult it is to play the leading actor. His original 800 million yuan in the struggle crew was just a third leading actor.

It cost 1000 million to smash the new Shanghai Beach Male No. [-].

He didn't dare to think about the male number one, because he couldn't afford the ratings and didn't have so much money.

Unless she becomes a full-fledged investor like Jing Tian in her previous life, any first-line stars, actor and actress will be recruited as supporting roles, and the producers and directors will work for her.

But how much does that cost?

Yuan Hua still can't afford it.
