This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 52 Celebrities and Internet Celebrities

Li Chuan just said it casually, but Liu Yuning took it seriously.

However, this is also normal.

After all, in most people's minds, being a celebrity is indeed more promising than being an Internet celebrity, and even many Internet celebrities think so.

Like Liu Yuning, there are not a few Internet celebrities who squeezed into the entertainment industry after they became popular, but very few of them finally made it to the top.

Regarding this phenomenon, Li Chuan has always been noncommittal.

He has no control over what other Internet celebrities think and do, but he will definitely not do it himself.

Li Chuan's thinking is different from most people's. In his opinion, being a celebrity is no different from being an Internet celebrity. They both make money by selling their faces and setting up their IPs.

He has no movie dreams, no music dreams, and no yearning or longing for the entertainment industry.

He is only interested in money.

Is being a star more profitable than being an Internet celebrity?
This is not necessarily true.

Many celebrities look glamorous on the surface, but they don't earn much money, and they may not even be able to afford a house.

Superstars like Jackie Chan and Andy Lau, many people think that their assets are in the tens of billions, but if you look carefully, you will know that this is not the case at all. It is already very good for them to keep assets of several hundred million .

The real moneymakers in the entertainment industry are those traffic stars.

With the release and implementation of the salary limit order, the earning power of traffic stars has also been greatly reduced.

The top Internet celebrities, such as sister Ya, Jiaqi, Xinba, Sydney, etc. of the later generations, have the ability to make money and can beat many celebrities.

Many celebrities have been busy for a whole year, and the money they earn may not be as good as Sister Ya and the others who sell goods for a few hours.

"The end of the universe is selling goods"

Although this sentence is a joke, but when you think about it carefully, there is still some truth.

Why did the celebrities of later generations devote themselves to live streaming?
Isn't it because selling goods can make money?

As for those stars who do not participate in live streaming, they have no influence, but they cannot fully transform their commercial value.From the perspective of "traffic economy", this is a waste of resources.

Of course, many celebrities do not want to bring goods, but dare not bring them.

They are afraid of being backlashed by their own fans, which will lead to the collapse of the character set.

The phenomenon of "fan backlash" not only exists, but also exists on a large scale.

Later in 2022, many celebrities were unable to work due to the epidemic, so they wanted to start a live broadcast on Douyin to earn some extra money, but they were forced by their fans to close the gift.

These fans don't even think about why their idols are broadcasting live, and they really think that their idols are exchanging feelings with them.

This is the limitation of many big-name stars.

They have already been promoted by their own fans, and they can't show their face at all, or dare not show their face to start live broadcasts to make money.

Internet celebrities don't have this concern.

In the eyes of the world, it is normal for Internet celebrities to open live broadcasts to receive gifts and sell goods. After all, they rely on this to make a living.

Therefore, although the social status of Internet celebrities is not as good as that of celebrities, they can put down their burdens and make money without any scruples. The advantages in this aspect cannot be underestimated.

Because of this, Li Chuan has no interest in being in the entertainment industry or being a star.

The reason why he said that to Liu Yuning just now was that he wanted to find a topic to chat with and compliment him by the way.

Just because he said that doesn't mean he thought so.

And Liu Yuning's reaction now is obviously to take what he said casually seriously.

"That..." Li Chuan scratched his head and said, "I don't plan to enter the entertainment circle for the time being."

"Why?" Liu Yuning said with a serious face: "Brother Sen, I'm not talking about you. I have more experience in this industry than you. As far as male stars are concerned, there are too many good-looking and handsome people. If you have an opportunity, you must seize it." .The male lead of a web drama, although the role is not big, but the size is also an opportunity, you..."

"For the time being!" Li Chuan raised his hand and interrupted: "Yuning, I appreciate your kindness, I really want to go, but there is still a mess at my company, and I won't be able to go for a while. "

"Then close the company."

"This... how can we just shut it down, there are dozens of people waiting to eat."

"Then when are you going to wait?"

"Uh...in another year or two, don't worry."

"Oh, that's fine. We are Internet celebrities, and we are easy to be looked down upon in this circle. You can make sure and tell me later. Let's hug each other and take care of each other."

"Good good."

Li Chuan nodded again and again, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

'It can be regarded as coping with it. '

'This Liu Yuning is a little too enthusiastic. '

'Thanks to my thick skin, otherwise I would be a bit overwhelmed. '

Li Chuan thought to himself.

"Brother Sen, Huang Zitao, do you know each other?" Liu Yuning said suddenly.

"Ah? Oh, I've heard of it. What's the matter?"

"In the web drama I filmed before, the leading actor was Huang Zitao."

"Oh, and then what?"

"Let me tell you some gossip, Huang Zitao..."

Li Chuan's face suddenly became black.

……

From the airport to the hotel, including during dinner, Liu Yuning kept talking about his involvement in the entertainment industry.

Li Chuan was not interested in these things, but he had to pretend to be very interested.

No way, who told him to say it before, in order to avoid being labeled as "hypocrisy", he had to do so.

The whole process was quite painful.

After the meal, Li Chuan couldn't stand it any longer, so he immediately asked to do the right thing - make a video.

Video content, the design is relatively simple.

At the beginning, Mr. Sen stood in front of the camera, holding a microphone, and said, "Sing a song for everyone today."

Then, the music sounded, and Mr. Sen sang along with the rhythm.

"Honestly speaking, could it be me who was obsessed with ghosts..."

(Singed by Liu Yuning, Li Chuan was just lip-syncing)
Mr. Sen sang a short section, and Liu Yuning also walked into the screen holding the microphone.

He sang as he walked, and came to Mr. Sen.

When Mr. Sen saw Liu Yuning, he froze in place, and then silently put down the microphone.

During this period, the rhythm of singing continued.

After Liu Yuning finished singing, Mr. Sen said, "Why are you here?"

Liu Yuning: "Why can't I come?"

Mr. Sen: "Who told you to come?"

Liu Yuning: "Didn't you ask me to come?"

Mr. Sen: "Oh, so I asked you to come, what did I ask you to do?"

Liu Yuning: "What do you think?"

Mr. Sen: "Oh! I remembered!"

After the words fell, Mr. Sen and Liu Yuning looked at the camera at the same time, pointed forward, and said in unison: "Double Eleven, we will see each other!"

At this moment, a poster jumped out of the video screen.

The upper part of the poster is a half-length photo of Mr. Sen and Liu Yuning. Next to Liu Yuning's half-length photo is a line of words:

【Guest: Modern Brothers—Liu Yuning】

On the lower half of the poster, there is also a line written in larger font:
[Double Eleven, Mr. Mori's live broadcast event special, we will see you there! 】

The duration of the video is estimated to be about 30 seconds, there is not much content, just a simple linkage, and an advertisement by the way.

The content is simple, the angle is fixed, and there is almost no difficulty in shooting.

Li Chuan found a circular staircase inside the hotel as the background, and handed it over to Zhu Chenwei to hold the mirror. The group worked hard for half an hour, and everything was done.

After the video was shot, Li Chuan exchanged greetings with Liu Yuning for a while, and then parted ways.

Li Chuan took Zhu Chenwei and drove towards Feng Timo's house in a luxury car.
