China Entertainment 1997

If a few people didn't feel deeply about it when they signed the contract, when they arrived at the MV shooting site, they immediately felt the difference.

Wang Ya and Yu Shi were an agent, a crew cut man in his twenties, who drove them from the dormitory to the set in his Toyota.

Ma Yuntao's agent is a chubby middle-aged woman who drives an Audi A4. She always has a calm face and a strong aura.

Anze's agent didn't come. It was said that he was busy with his endorsement deal with Jiao Enjun, who was also under his banner, and sent an assistant to drive with him.

Sun Yanyan was in the worst situation. The filming location was too far away and taking a taxi was too expensive. She took her best friend on the subway for almost an hour in advance and then took a taxi.

When she arrived at the scene, she was secretly heartbroken. Renyi's salary was not high, and she was a newcomer, so she received very little money.

As a result, the round-trip transportation fee for a day now only costs 200 yuan, so she has to make a few days of filming, otherwise she will have to live on rubbish before the crew pays the bill.

After they all arrived, Dili Rouba hurried over. Liu Rui personally led the team and directly got a Mercedes-Benz RV.

Everyone else is dumbfounded. They are all newcomers. Is there such a big difference in treatment...

Of course, it's not that big. A pure newcomer like Dili Rouba is not qualified to own an RV, let alone a Mercedes-Benz.

This car was an exclusive RV assigned to Damimi by the company. Because the crew of "God of Wealth Inn" equipped her with an RV, the car was idle in the capital. Liu Rui used it temporarily to support the newcomers.

Liu Rui got out of the car with Dili Rouba, and several other agents came over with smiles on their faces, especially the woman, whose smile turned into a flower.

"Manager Liu, why did you come here in person?"

"She's new, take her to say hello."

Not long after Liu Rui graduated from college in 1999, she joined Fanxing as an assistant with Hu Jing. She can be considered an old man of Fanxing, and she single-handedly brought out Damimi.

With her seniority, meritorious service, and strong backing, she has a transcendent status among the stars. In addition to Vice President Jiang who is also the director of the artist management department, the two deputy directors have to give her some credit.

"Rouba, this is Sun Ping. You call him Brother Ping. He is the one who takes charge of Lan Xi. This is Teacher Wan, the manager of Liu Yan and Jia Ling."

Liu Rui introduced the two agents who were present today to Dili Rouba. As for the assistant who accompanied Anze, she didn't know him and the other party introduced himself.

After chatting for a while, everyone arrived and everyone headed to the shooting site.

What we shot today was the MV for "The Year in a Hurry". It was also the only MV in which all six people appeared. The theme was youthful campus, with six people and three couples or ambiguous partners.

Director Chen Hanzhu also just arrived, and several agents brought people over to say hello.

A group of pure newcomers, Chen Hanzhu was not very enthusiastic, only when he saw Liu Rui did he smile.

"Xiao Liu is here too."

"Director Chen, I haven't seen you for two months. You are getting more and more energetic."

Liu Rui's status in Fanxing Group is aloof, but she doesn't look down upon anyone. For example, in front of Chen Hanzhu, she would never dare to be trusted easily.

When she was Hu Jing's assistant in the early years, Chen Hanzhu was already the contracted director of Fanxing. Several of Hu Jing's early dramas were directed by Chen Hanzhu.

Now that Chen Hanzhu is a senior executive of the company, Cao Xuan's close confidant, and in charge of the power, even if Liu Rui is protected by Hu Jing, her status is far behind.

Of course, for Hu Jing's sake, Chen Hanzhu would not offend her easily. After all, his confidants may not be as good as Pillow Style.

The two of them each have their own strengths to rely on, and there is no conflict of interest. Coupled with their early relationship, their friendship is pretty good.

In particular, Chen Hanzhu is responsible for reviewing and supervising the content of Fanxing Film and Television, and can also influence casting selection to a certain extent. In principle, Liu Rui may need to ask for help in the future, so she will keep a low profile.

"Director Chen, this is the newcomer I brought. Please take good care of him in the future."

Liu Rui was a qualified agent. He seized the opportunity and helped Di Li Rouba brush her face in front of Chen Hanzhu, who was also very considerate.

"I remember this girl. She performed very well during the interview. If I look back and see a suitable role, I will recommend it to the crew."

"Thank you, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Liu Rui and Chen Hanzhu were chatting and laughing happily, but the other agents were not so proud.

In the same way, "Director Chen, please take care of me", Chen Hanzhu smiled and nodded. His words were beautiful, but they didn't sound nutritious at all, but he didn't give the correct words directly like just now.

"..."

Although the newcomers were not well-known, they had worked hard at the bottom, and they could easily guess the tricks inside, and the eyes they looked at Dili's fleshy face became more and more complicated.

Some people were sour and jealous. Although they didn't dare to say anything openly, they were vaguely estranged and alienated from Dili Rouba. At the same time, there were also people who wanted to approach Dili Rouba intentionally and wanted to have a good relationship with Dili Rouba.

The only one who didn't make any moves was Sun Yanyan. In other words, she didn't want to make any moves, but she just couldn't get through.

No matter how divided the family is, they are all artists signed by Fanxing. She is a non-staff member and is simply ignored by the collective.

Sun Yanyan was very lucky that she managed to trick her best friend into coming here, and at least she had someone to talk to, otherwise she would have been embarrassed to death today.

After dividing the roles, several actors began to put on makeup. They were all makeup artists of the crew, and Dili Rouba was directly the company makeup artist brought by Liu Rui, and was one of the ace makeup artists of the Fanxing makeup team.

The small dressing room suddenly began to be filled with the sour smell of lemon.

This time Dili couldn't bear it anymore, and she whispered to Liu Rui: "Sister Rui, isn't it a bit...extravagant? I'm just a newcomer after all."

Liu Rui rubbed her head and said, "You don't understand. People in the entertainment industry will flatter you and put on a show, so people won't look down on you."

Then Liu Rui took a look at the newcomers and said, "Don't worry, this time it's mainly about showing off your muscles. I will abide by the rules in other crews in the future."

In fact, Manager Liu Da did this on purpose today. Among the new recruits, Dili Rouba, the freshman, is the youngest. The others are not seasoned, but they have also been in the society. .

So Liu Rui planned to shock her, whether it was because of jealousy or flattery, seeing the importance she attached to Dili's flesh and the resources at her disposal, he did not dare to have small thoughts about it easily.

Of course, this was done casually, and Liu Rui didn't take these newcomers too seriously.

If Dili Rouba follows her, it is equivalent to joining the East Palace Party, and her resource status is not at the same level as these people.

Liu Rui didn't have the time to scheming with them. Ever since she saw Dili's pussy, she had only one goal, which was to bring out another top-notch actress in the entertainment industry.

"Rouba, remember what my sister told you yesterday. After filming the MV, you will go to school in Shanghai to improve your business skills. Acting is not everything in Stars, but without acting skills, the road will be bumpy.

As for filming, don't be anxious. If there is a role that suits you, I will naturally fight for it for you. "

Liu Rui attaches great importance to Dili's voluptuous figure. This girl's appearance and figure are very good. She is a natural star. In her heart, she is even ahead of Zhao Xiaodao.

Hu Jing's fame has nothing to do with her. She is the only one who single-handedly brought about Damimi. This is also the moment Liu Rui is most proud of.

If another "big honey honey" can be brought out, manager Liu Da even thinks that Vice President Jiang can make way for her.

Finally, I gave her the job of head of the artist management department. When she takes charge of the Stars Management Department, she will be the number one manager in China...

Dili Rouba didn't know Liu Rui's ambition. In fact, until now, she was still a little confused.

When she signed up for the MV audition, she really didn't have high hopes. She just cast a wide net. Unexpectedly, she got through all the way and won the role. She even signed a contract with Fanxing directly, and her agent was Hu Jing and Yang Mi's agent.

Even though she is new, she understands the benefits that such an agent can bring to it.

Although she didn't adapt to what happened today, she did see Liu Rui's energy and the importance she attached to herself. Dili Rouba felt that she should be obedient and wait to be taken away by Liu Rui.

Liu Rui did not disappoint her. In today's filming of "The Year in a Hurry", she was the C-position heroine of the three pairs of CPs in the MV, which is the main storyline.

At the same time, Dili Rouba also participated in two MVs "Paper is Short and Love is Long" and "Birds and Cicadas". She is also the actor with the most starring roles in Cao Xuan's new album.

It is no exaggeration to say that starring in three MVs of Cao Xuan's new songs can catch up with a TV series with good results.

Especially for a pure newcomer like Dili Rouba, the starting point is very rare, and she may even get into the eyes of some directors.

However, when the filming started, Liu Rui didn't lower her eyebrows much.

The story of the MV for "That Year in a Hurry" is very simple. It's just a reunion of a few classmates and then reminiscing about their youth.

Wang Ya and Ma Yuntao are a pair, and they are happy enemies who fight and fight. Sun Yanyan and Yu Shi are a pair, learning and progressing together, and growing in love over time.

Dili Rouba and Anze are the main plot, and they are also the only ones in the MV who have experienced ambiguity, love, and breakup. This reunion is from the perspective of the two of them, and they can express their feelings about the past years and the disconnection.

Dili's pussy in school uniform is still very beautiful, pure and lovely. Any man who sees it will be reminded of the person he was in middle school.

But in terms of performance, it can hardly be called unsatisfactory, and it can even be said to be the worst among them.

However, it is understandable. It is only October, and it has only been two months since Dili Rouba passed the exam. Military training aside, she has not received much formal professional training, so it is inevitable that she will have a poor foundation.

Fortunately, I am acting in a music video, so the requirements for acting skills are not that high. As long as I can perform a general meaning, I will pass.

And although Dili's body is not good, the other actors cannot be said to be particularly good. If she is a real actor and actress, she will not keep struggling.

Perhaps their overall level is better than some ordinary actors or extras, but they are not particularly outstanding.

Well, except Sun Yanyan.

This girl's acting skills aren't anything special at first glance, but she's good at being solid enough. She went through all the scenes over and over again and couldn't find any obvious mistakes.

This kind of performance can be considered a good actor in normal times, let alone being so well-liked by others. Several agents who didn't pay much attention to her at first also started to discuss it.

"I heard that the boss specially recruited him."

"The acting skills are quite solid, and he seems to be a talented actor."

"He has good looks and good figure, and he has potential."

"..."

The discussion is a discussion, and no one rushes to recruit. There are many capable and potential people in the circle, and not all of them have become famous.

If Sun Yanyan joined Fanxing or was particularly favored by Cao Xuan, they might be tempted, but now she is not from Fanxing, and Cao Xuan did not pay special attention to her afterwards. The situation was quite embarrassing, and everyone was too lazy to bother.

Liu Rui was vaguely fond of him, but he already had Dili's dick in his hand, so he didn't care about it anymore.

The East Palace Party has always valued quality over quantity, so that it can concentrate resources as much as possible.

Damimi is the most popular right now, focusing on movies and TV series.

With her transformation, Liu Rui and the Donggong Party currently supply most of their TV drama resources to Zhao Xiaodao.

Similarly, with Zhao Xiaodao taking over, the resources for various supporting roles or heroines in ordinary dramas are freed up, which can be used to fill the role of newcomer Dili.

If there is one more Sun Yanyan to compete, the resources for the newcomer are enough at present, but as they slowly become famous, no one will have an advantage if they are placed side by side.

Liu Rui was able to push Damimi onto the stage to confront Liu Tianxian in a short period of time. In addition to Damimi herself, the East Palace Party's desperate efforts to throw resources at her was also a key factor.

If he hadn't been desperately trying to win over Da Mi Mi, Zhao Xiaodao would have been promoted 1 to 2 years earlier than he is now.

Of course, after two more years of hard work, Zhao Xiaodao's mentality and professional skills are better, and it will be easier for him to excel after taking the position.

But no matter what, with the lesson learned this time, Liu Rui has no idea of ​​bringing anyone else with her for the time being, at least until Dili's Rouba gets better.

Sun Yanyan also noticed the indifference of the agents. To be honest, she was also constantly fighting between heaven and man.

On the one hand, after all the hard work and hard work, I was admitted to the talent establishment, and I can have an iron rice bowl until I retire.

On the one hand, it is a great opportunity to become famous, and you can earn millions or even tens of millions a year.

Fortunately, Sun Yanyan is a girl and her family conditions are not bad, otherwise she would have resigned from Fanxing long ago, but even so, the balance in her heart is constantly tilting like Fanxing.

After all, everyone is a reality. Not everyone can have the opportunity to earn tens of millions, but is willing to chase the so-called dream with a salary of 1,800 yuan.

Sun Yanyan originally thought that she was not a common person, but today's incident a little irritated her.

Putting the difference in treatment aside, the key point is that you can't even afford a car, so why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?

After the filming of "The Year in a Hurry" was over, Sun Yanyan began to inquire with her work unit to see if there was a way to get the best of both worlds. She had no choice but to resign.

………

The MV was shot very quickly. After all, Cao Xuan only took a few shots himself, and the others worked in groups, so the progress naturally took off.

By late October, several MVs had been successfully produced.

The album is officially scheduled to be released on time on January 1, 2011, so it is planned to start promoting the first promotional song at the end of October.

This album has many high-quality songs, so it is naturally more popular. One song at the end of October, two songs in November, and two songs in December. A total of 5 songs will be released for promotion.

Prior to this, Cao Xuan had only two albums that were so aggressive during the promotion period.

The Chinese-language album "Bright Stars".

English-language album "Legend".

This time, the new album "Dazzling" also follows suit. We don't expect to replicate the miracle of "Bright Stars" back then, but we also hope to be able to match some of the standards.

However, regardless of whether this album can compare to "Bright Stars", at least for the fans, it is really a blessing.

When Cao Xuan forwarded the promotion plan for "Xuan" on Weibo, fans in the comment area rushed to tell each other and were very happy.

[Thank God, Cao Xuan finally remembered that he is a singer]

[5 songs in one breath during the promotion period, he really made me cry to death]

[This is the rhythm of releasing Wang Zha. It seems that the boss is very confident in this album]

【Ah ah ah, why do we still need two months】

[I have started saving money, I want to buy 100 pieces for collection]

[I’m dreaming upstairs, I don’t know about it online, it would be nice to get the physical album]

[Come on, let the Chinese music scene feel the dominance of the big devil again]

[Woo woo woo, do you know how I have spent the past three years? I finally have a new album]

[Well, wasn’t there a picture of “Qing” last year?]

[I don’t care, English albums don’t count]

【……】

On that day, Cao Xuan's new album was not released online, but the promotion plan topped the Weibo hot search list, which also silenced many singers.

According to incomplete statistics, after Cao Xuan announced his new album plan, in less than a week, a total of 21 singers, large and small, announced the rescheduling.

All album singles to be released from December 2010 to February 2011 have been postponed to March 2011 or later.

And as time goes by, it is likely that one after another singers will choose the same operation.

The power of King Cao is so terrifying!

Speaking of which, since the release of "Human World" in the summer of 2007, Cao Xuan has not released a new Chinese album for more than three years.

However, although he has not released an album, his scattered singles and theme songs are still top-notch in Chinese.

"Welcome to the Capital", "My Dream", "Love Each Other", "Ten Thousand Frontiers", "Chapter", "Wish Fulfillment", "Thousands of Mountains and Waters", "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales"...

Pick any song at random, and it is a song that has been extremely influential in the past two years. There are even some Chinese classics that have become the top ten or even the top five of the year.

Nowadays, the Chinese music scene is becoming increasingly lonely, and the music scene has gradually begun to change.

The space for Hong Kong and Taiwan singers is gradually being squeezed by rising singers from the mainland.

According to comprehensive calculations based on the Baidu song search index and related Internet popularity and playback volume, among the top ten singers in the Chinese music scene this year, only four singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan are Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Wang and JJ Lin.

Although it still seems to be half of the country, compared with the early years, except for Cao Xuan who firmly ranked first, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers can almost monopolize the music scene, and the downward trend is visible to the naked eye.

Singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan fell into decline, and those who rose to prominence were Fan Xingxing and Internet singers.

Among them, Fanxing is the top priority. In the previous list, there were six mainland singers, and Fanxing won five of them. Cao Xuan, Gu Miaomiao, Phoenix Legend, Wu Gao, and Zhang Jie have become the most powerful presences in the Chinese music scene. .

The last one is Wang Sulong, who together with Wu Gao and Xu Liang form the Big Three of QQ Star. They are the representatives of current Internet singers. They can even suppress Jay Chou on the QQ Star main platform, and even Cao Xuan sometimes has to avoid his edge.

The prevalence of Internet culture and the rise of Internet singers have pros and cons.

On the good side, the right to speak popularly has been regained from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the Chinese music scene has gradually become more mainstream in the mainland, and many grassroots singers have even been born.

On the bad side, there are no taboos in Internet culture at the moment, and works are both good and bad. There are a lot of lip service and even marginal works.

For example, in 2010, some of the most popular songs included "Brother is Just a Legend", "Love Business", "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong", "Eleven Years", "Who Can You Love with a Broken Heart", "Mistress" and so on.

Whether these songs sound good or not is a matter of opinion, but they really don't have any deep meaning.

If in previous years these saliva songs and internet songs could still be as popular as 50/50 with those connotative songs, this year the ratio between the two is likely to be 64, or even 70/30.

There is no doubt that saliva songs and Internet songs occupy the majority.

Of course, pop songs themselves are cultural entertainment, and Cao Xuan was also a vocalist back then.

Even when Hong Kong and Taiwan's popular culture was popular, there were many songs that were popular, but the packaging was more exquisite, and the lyrics and compositions were more mature. But when it comes to nutrition and depth, many songs cannot be mentioned.

However, Hong Kong and Taiwan's saliva songs at least have a lower limit. The cost of album production is high, and the songs are carefully selected. Even the saliva songs have some merits.

And many of the most popular songs are produced in batches, and then cast a wide net to catch more fish, or even piece together several songs. The quality of lyrics and music of many songs is really unbearable, and the singing skills of the singers can hardly be called excellent. .

Moreover, it has affected the creative atmosphere of the Chinese music scene to a certain extent, and the entire music scene has become somewhat impetuous.

At this year's Music Association conference, some people proposed vigorously banning these online divine songs in order to bring peace to the Internet and the music world.

Cao Xuan objected in real name. He believed that blocking was better than spreading, let alone killing them all with one stick.

Any kind of popular trend grows wildly in the beginning. When the pop music scene first came out in the early years, it was also criticized for its unpopular music, and there were many marginalia and bad songs.

If we want to correct the music scene and correctly guide the development of online songs, we must rectify the names of online singers, establish standards that are accepted by the industry and the public, and the rest will automatically fall into place.

To put it bluntly, it is recruitment.

This group of online singers are very famous now, but they are not looked down upon by others. If the mainstream is willing to accept them, many people will surely come to join them.

When the time comes, we will set an example and form an effective positive atmosphere. At that time, there will be no need for the government to come forward to suppress them. Those singers who continue to cause trouble will be excluded internally.

How can I put it this way? The pop singers of that time, as well as the folk and hip-hop singers in the future, all did it this way, and it proved to be successful time and time again.

As for mainstream acceptance, it is actually very simple. Let online singers appear on more TV shows, evening parties, and award awards.

Cao Tianwang, who had never seen anything before, finally formally proposed the concept of the "Sound of Nature Award" for the first time at the Music Association Conference in the second half of 2010.

The sound of nature comes from "Zhuangzi: Equality of Things": "A woman hears the sound of human beings but not the sound of earth; a woman hears the sound of earth but not the sound of nature.

Lai refers to an ancient musical instrument. The sound of nature is the sound of all things in the world. It is also the most natural and interesting sound in the world. To some extent, it is the highest state of music. Nowadays, it mostly refers to the beauty of music or sound.

Cao Xuan thought about this new award for a long time. At first he wanted to call it the Golden Phoenix Award, as it seemed that this award already existed.

I also planned to call it the Golden Bailing Award, but I thought it was a bit too stingy. The Golden Sound Award was not clear, and the Golden Microphone and Golden Record Player were not suitable, so I finally chose the word "Sound of Nature".

In Cao Xuan's vision, Tianlai will be backed by a publicity outlet, hosted by the Chinese Musicians Association, with the participation of the media and various TV, radio and online platforms, to create the most authoritative pop music awards in the mainland and even China.

Of course, considering that the obstacles from all parties are relatively large, Cao Xuan has also made plans to do it step by step.

For example, now, his banner is to provide awards for online singers at the Tianlai Awards, such as original musicians, so that online singers can enter the mainstream and set a benchmark.

Cao Xuan planned to let the Music Association approve the project first, and then take over the matter himself. Once he has the power, he can slowly add private goods.

Cao Tianwang plans to end his career as a singer with two albums left. He hopes that after retiring, the Tianlai Awards can be officially held. By then, even if he leaves the music scene, he will still have work to do.
