The Entertainment Empire That Started With Divorce

Chapter 128 Liu Yiyi’s fish and bear’s paw
Goodbye Liu Yiyi, same as before.

Still arrogant, still like a swan, even if Fang Mo's crazy racing has reached a higher level and has become the hottest commercial director in the industry, his attitude remains the same.

Although he wasn't as cynical as last time, he didn't turn flatteringly either.

Don't tell me, the little girl has a pretty cool temper.

……

"Xiao Fang, eat more..."

There was a lot of fun at the dinner table. The two men, Fang Mo and Gu Wensheng, chatted, and the two women, Xiao Wenxiu and Liu Yiyi, chatted. The only overlap was that Xiao Wenxiu asked Fang Mo to eat more from time to time. The lunch was very rich, so you're welcome.

Of course Fang Mo was not polite. Although he had nothing to talk about with Liu Yiyi, he was still very comfortable with Xiao Wenxiu's cordial reception and did not treat him as an outsider.

As for Liu Yiyi, she ate and drank silently like a bystander, having nothing to talk about and pricking her head.

Just say something when asked.

"Xiao Fang, you are also in the entertainment industry. Please comment objectively on Yiyi's career..."

Suddenly, a bad topic.

After hearing this, Liu Yiyi immediately raised her head and acted a little displeased, "Auntie, my career is very good and no need to comment, please don't talk about me..."

Liu Yiyi's career is nothing to talk about. Isn't it just a street fight? As for exposing scars.

"Let you fully realize the reality."

Xiao Wenxiu is welcome, her family has persuaded many times to quit the circle and stop setting up any studio. The family is not short of money but can't stand it. Leave the circle as soon as possible to find a man with a suitable job and a suitable job, and get married.

The more people get involved in the entertainment industry, the less they want to get married.

"Xiao Fang, please speak boldly."

It's just that Fang Mo was scratching his head a little. What should he say? He laughed and said nothing.

"It's okay, just talk about it..."

At this time, Gu Wensheng also picked up the topic, obviously deliberately, "The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, whether they are relying on themselves or family members like us, they are all authorities, and it is useless to say anything."

"Fang Mo, tell me what you think."

Liu Yiyi's face was very dark, and she was also embarrassed. She stuck her chopsticks into the food in the bowl and stared at Fang Mo, as if warning her not to speak, or not to speak nonsense.

"Uh, it's so difficult..."

Fang Mo laughed bitterly and teased himself.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters. The teacher and his wife obviously asked him to rely on facts and future development to express his views and ask Liu Yiyi to give up. There is no hope for your career.

"Theoretically speaking, Yiyi's appearance is not bad. She has never heard of singing, but her voice is also good..."

Fang Mo saw that he had pushed it, but he was not afraid of offending anyone in front of the teacher and his wife. Anyway, you told me, "It's just that the overall environment in the music scene is not good, and the meaning does not have a clear self-positioning."

Liu Yiyi frowned, unhappy.

Fang Mo shrugged, "An artist must have works that can be sold, hits."

"Just like Jiang Bo, who has not had much fame or opportunities for more than ten years, but when he encounters a crazy series, he takes advantage of the momentum and instantly goes from the seventh or eighth line to the front line. There must be accumulation of the previous ten years, but in the end it still depends on the work, and the same goes for singers , no matter how good the appearance condition is.”

"Artists rely on their works to become popular."

……

Gu Wensheng and his wife, as well as Liu Yiyi, listened quietly. Artists must have representative works and popular works. Fang Mo didn't need to explain this issue. Everyone present knew it.

The Liu family is not short of money, and Gu Wensheng, a teacher from Jingying Film School, will not be short of resources either.

Although I don't really support Liu Yiyi's career as a singer, but it will also give me some help. At least I can help by inviting some famous songwriters and composers, and then I can get some cooperation.

It's just a pity that none of the three albums have been popular. The quality of the title song is also very good, but it hasn't made waves and the announcements haven't stopped.

"Professional things should be done professionally."

Fang Mo smiled slightly, "Yiyi's biggest mistake was to set up her own music studio. Although it seems that she can have a lot of resources to cooperate with, it is better for a professional company to package and build the singer."

"It's useless to go it alone and win cooperation with many industries. They won't do their best and can only talk about their own cooperation with you, but it won't be in-depth."

"Unless the work can explode."

Whether it’s a singer or an actor, it doesn’t mean that you can become popular just by singing a few songs and acting in a few movies. It doesn’t mean that you think the music is good, and it doesn’t mean that you can become popular. It doesn’t mean that you can become famous by playing a role in a big production. The market, fans and moviegoers are the best judges. No way. It’s not that the work is not good, it’s that the people are not good.

Liu Yiyi has a good appearance and a good voice, but it is not surprising that she is not popular.

In the entertainment industry, there are many singers with better images and better voices than Liu Yiyi. There are even some singers who are not lacking in various resources but are also not popular, which is normal.

It's not because your name is Liu Yiyi that you can become popular, it's not that you can be popular because you are beautiful, stop dreaming.

"Xiao Fang, listen..."

Suddenly, Xiao Wenxiu handed Fang Mo his mobile phone. They were some of Liu Yiyi's more popular songs. The quality and production were not bad. What was the problem?
Liu Yiyi did not speak, silent.

"Too serious."

Seven or eight minutes later, Fang Mo listened to some of Liu Yiyi's best-rated songs and then spoke.

"Perhaps from a professional music perspective, these songs are good, but they are too serious, that is, they are not catchy and catchy enough, and they are too serious."

Liu Yiyi frowned and frowned.

Fang Mo took a bite and said, "No matter how artistic the song is, it's useless if it doesn't resonate. It's not as effective as the Internet's divine songs and mouth-watering songs. Demonic brainwashing is better than no impression at all. There must be a person or song who can break out of the circle. This part is a bit difficult, singing is easier.”

Liu Yiyi is very arrogant. She grew up in a privileged family and got involved in the entertainment industry because of her hobby. Therefore, whether she succeeds or not is just a matter of fun. She has no intention of speculating on scandals or creating some characters. She focuses on her songs.

Packaging, the arrogant little swan is flying in the sky without landing, and the fans can't feel the kindness, so don't mention the human aspect, Liu Yiyi has no chance.

It's almost enough to make a divine song.

……

After listening to Fang Mo's point of view, Gu Wensheng, his wife and Liu Yiyi were all thoughtful.

They are academics, and their top-notch thinking means they automatically ignore or reject wild ideas. If their music pursues sung songs and divine songs, it would be too unseemly.

So neither Liu Yiyi nor Gu Wensheng and his wife ever thought of singing some garbage songs.

Yes, it is.

In their opinion, rhythmic saliva songs with no nutrition are garbage songs. If Liu Yiyi sings such songs for nothing, she will not sing them. If she wants to sing them, she will sing them well.

Just like if you are making a movie to win awards, you should be afraid of art films and don't think about selling box office.

Liu Yiyi is like this when comparing her career as a singer. She wants to sell her audience well with her artistic songs.

In a word, you have your cake and eat it too.

"Yiyi, do you understand..."

Xiao Wenxiu sighed softly, while Liu Yiyi still frowned and said nothing. Fang Mo's words meant that she had fundamentally rejected her career development and was in the wrong direction.

She strongly disagreed with this. "Is it wrong to pursue Zhengge?"

Liu Yiyi was a little confused. She didn't want to sing a slobbery song. She couldn't afford to disgrace this person. He was too rubbish.

"That's right, I don't mean that."

Fang Mo quickly spoke up, "I'm just commenting on the fact that it's not popular. Just like there are still many directors who make art films without asking for box office hits, the same goes for singing. You can sing well without asking for hits, but if you want to be popular, leave It’s easier to sing over the beat.”

"Of course, it's not completely impossible to get a real song. If the song is high-quality and classic enough, and the right time and place and the right people are available, it just depends on luck."

"Half a year, two years, five years."

"The entertainment industry is so big. Everyone is in the industry, and there are a lot of people who haven't been popular for more than ten years. The nearby Jiang Bo is an example, isn't it?"

After saying that, Fang Mo stopped saying anything. It was so easy to have both your cake and eat it, but it was not good to be too greedy.

Liu Yiyi is arrogant and wants to gain fame and fortune without bowing her head. The world does not revolve around you.

Even if Fang Mo is now reborn in time travel and has the earth's entertainment background in his mind, he is not so arrogant that he would suppress this world over anyone else. What a joke.

The economy is developed, but the entertainment industry is in the desert. What's the point? Unless the government controls it.

Because as long as people have enough to eat and drink, they will pursue various spiritual enjoyments, including music, film, television, dance, entertainment, etc. This is inevitable.

Only in novels can there be a possibility of mismatch between entertainment and economy, just to show off.

It's a pity that this world is not that kind of world. Fang Mo doesn't want to crush the whole world. He just wants to make more money and enjoy the world more without wasting money.

……

After lunch, Fang Mo chatted at Gu Wensheng's house for a while, then left and returned to the hotel.

The topic has already been pointed out, that's enough.

It's not that Liu Yiyi can't be popular, there are too many music lyricists and composers in Kyoto, even if you filter, you can get a suitable song or a semi-divine song.

As for whether it can be successful, it depends on whether it will be successful when put on the market. Fang Mo cannot judge this.

If we continue to follow the previous path without success for two years, we may encounter opportunities to explode next year or the year after that.

But these are none of Fang Mo's business. Just express your own opinions and solve the problem without getting involved.

For professional matters, find a professional.

If Liu Yiyi runs her own studio, she might as well let a professional music company take a stake in it and package it. While packaging the character itself, she can also look for suitable songs and focus on her own self-development. If she wants to become popular, just wait.

Maybe the flowers have faded and it’s all in vain.

"Yiyi, please think about it..."

After Fang Mo left, Gu Wensheng went to the study to work on some of his work. Xiao Wenxiu continued to have an in-depth conversation with Liu Yiyi in the living room, "Our starting point is wrong. If you just like music, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether it's popular or not. Anyway, I won’t starve to death.”

"But if you want to make some achievements, whether it's a blockbuster album or an increase in fame, etc., you must have commercial attributes and a foundation of popularity."

"Well, I see."

Liu Yiyi replied softly. Fang Mo had made it very clear. She was not stupid and understood very well.

If you want to make some achievements, you have to make a choice. Whether you stick to yourself or cater to the market, you have the fish and the bear's paw.

I want to take both ends, waiting for God's will.

This result is acceptable or unacceptable, it’s just that no one in the entertainment industry wants to be popular. Although opening a studio at the beginning was indeed a bit of a joke, but it’s not pretty if you can’t make any achievements, it’s too embarrassing.

It doesn't matter whether it is a hit or not, but being popular can mean you are successful, just like whether a movie is a box office hit or not is a measure of a director's success or failure.

"Coming back so soon?"

Xiong Bin was surprised when he stepped off the hotel.

Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would be more convenient to return to Hangzhou, but let’s forget it. Those who are so grown-up and not Mid-Autumn Festival will be the same. People in the entertainment circle don’t care about any festivals, so let’s stay in Kyoto.

Xiong Bin has a family, not an orphan.

"I'll be back after dinner."

Fang Mo shrugged, "It's just a common meal. Besides, we have a big family gathering in the evening. Why stay there? Come back early and feel comfortable."

Yes, Xiong Bin asked no more questions.

……

"Ding dong, ding dong ding dong..."

In the second half of the afternoon, Fang Mo and Xiong Bin chatted for a while in a simple hotel and then arrived at a villa area in the suburbs.

Tonight is celebrating the festival at Xu Hao's house. This guy is not short of money. The conditions of his wife's family are very good. The couple are both actors and have their own careers. Although they are not first-line over the years, they have saved a lot of money.

In fact, Jiang Bo had never been unable to afford food before. He had no shortage of small jobs, and at least his average monthly income of over [-] yuan was no problem. It was not much for an actor, but it was quite a lot for the general public.

Relatively speaking, a monthly income of over [-] in Kyoto is above the chest, second only to the neck and head.

"Hey, you arrived quite early..."

It was Jiang Bo who opened the door. This guy from Xu Hao’s family often came. Only got close after collaborating on the crazy series.

This year, Jiang Bo and his wife frequently visited Xu Hao and his wife's house, eating and drinking many times.

"Just arrived, just arrived."

Jiang Bo greeted Fang Mo Xiong Bin with a hip-hop greeting, as if he were at home. Xu Hao was also in the living room. There were many customers of various kinds on the coffee table. It was obvious that the two of them were eating snacks, chatting and spanking happily.

As for their intended wife, she was not at home at this time, but went to the supermarket for shopping.

Shop for a variety of dishes to eat and drink in the evening.

"The atmosphere in the community is quite strong..."

Xu Hao's villa community is a high-end residence. There are many directors or artists in the industry living there, as well as other industry elites in society. They sometimes visit, but most of the artists are busy, and they are not well-known and do not often visit. Drop by to avoid suspicion.

The property management side usually decorates the entire community, and today there are all kinds of decorations during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are only a few wealthy owners who can afford to buy a house here, and there are not many celebrities in the industry.

The various services of the property are in place.

Otherwise, if any problem annoys a certain owner, such as a big star or director giving you negative publicity, the overall price of the villa may be reduced.

At that time, house prices could keep rising, and there were publicity about who lived in the house, such as celebrities and directors.

This is not to say that celebrity directors are superior to others, but to the outside world, celebrity directors are on the bright side and are the group of people who most directly increase the reputation of housing prices.

Of course, the real estate developers behind the construction of this high-end villa area are not unknown.

There are many things where there are problems and dissatisfactions, but usually they don't cause too much trouble and they sit down to discuss. At least Xu Hao has been staying here for many years and it's very smooth.

"Director Fang, buy one?"

Xu Hao smacked his lips and wanted to be a neighbor.
