Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Wang Jiaer talked about how he went from Hong Kong to South Korea alone to become a trainee for his dream. From the beginning, when he couldn’t communicate in Korean and was isolated, he gradually integrated into the company. How hard it was to practice and how difficult it was to debut.

Idols who come back from abroad seem to be filled with bitterness.

Wang Jiaer's complaints sounded good to Nie Wei. After all, Wang Jiaer's agency was from South Korea. For example, the one who ran away from South Korea almost described himself as Yang Bailao when he returned to China. And those agencies All the bosses have turned into big bad guys like Huang Landlord.

But is the actual situation really so serious? In Nie Wei's opinion, it may be 50% true, but it is also 50% exaggerated.

During the debut period of idols, whether abroad or domestic, there is no one who is not tired. This has nothing to do with exploitation. No matter how strong the management company is, idols are still newcomers when they first debut. If they do not appear on shows, do commercial performances, and do not promote songs, where will they go? attention?

In this period, there is no need to race against time too much.

As for sharing, South Korea is really stingy and exploits newly debuted idols ruthlessly.

However, they are not much better at home. The reason why those guys who came back were able to sign big contracts as soon as they returned to the country is because they have already become popular in Korea and have gained a foundation of popularity, so they are no longer considered newcomers.

And the most important thing is that these domestic companies are all taking advantage of ready-made products, but South Korea has really trained these guys for many years. Isn’t all the cost involved?

Just like the contract that Zhou Duoduo and Huayi signed with Huayi, they were all divided into 28%. The six of them would get the "2" together, and the company would keep 80%.

And this contract can be regarded as the top conscience in the industry. When many young idols first debuted, they received only 91% or even 5% of the share. When placed in some large groups, it is simply a corporate system. Small idols cannot You get a share and only a fixed salary, just like white-collar workers clocking in at work.

After all, those who open entertainment companies are capitalists, not philanthropists. The wool comes from the sheep. It is certain that the contract share of idols in the past few years is small. Originally, because they are newcomers, their ability to attract money is not good. If they make concessions on the share, the agency will really It will become a charitable enterprise.

But everyone understands the truth, but it’s a pity that fans are not willing to listen.

Anyway, if the agency wants so much share, it is squeezing their idols. Arranging so much work is also squeezing their idols. They have to perform on stage even though they are injured. Emmm... This is really squeezing their idols. Health is still very important. Overdraft. The physical health of idol members is obviously somewhat stable.

Wang Jia'er poured out a lot of bitter words. Nie Wei could see that this child was really holding a lot of things in his heart. He might not be able to talk to the people around him at ordinary times. Today, with the help of wine, he made another group of new friends and let him I felt like a friend that I liked very much, so I talked a lot about it.

"Bitter first, then sweet. The days will get better and better in the future. Come, let's have a drink." He Jiong comforted Wang Jiaer warmly, and then immediately changed the subject.

Talking too much about this kind of thing is not necessarily a good thing. Fans will feel sorry for their idols, but some passersby will think that Wang Jiaer is trying to sell his character, so some words must be limited in moderation.

He Jiong's interruption point is a very suitable point. It can not only allow the audience to understand the hardships of Wang Jiaer's efforts through Wang Jiaer's words, but also not cause boredom because he complained for too long.

Nie Wei saw this and decided to help the boy.

After clinking glasses with He Jiong and Wang Jiaer, Nie Wei took a sip of liquor and then talked about his debut.

Nie Wei rarely talks about past events because he is living a very happy life now, but to help his little brother who is pleasing to the eye, he took the initiative to bring up the past events today. In fact, it was nothing. It was just when he first debuted and was not famous. But because Nie Wei experienced it personally, it made people feel very unusual.

"When I was filming with Shu Chang, she would follow me and call me 'brother' and 'brother'. I thought it would be good to have more sisters, so I accepted her as my sister. Who would have thought that I would She thinks of me as her sister, but she thinks of me as her husband. What a pity, I was too stupid and young at the time, and I accidentally fell into her trap."

Nie Wei leaned back in his chair and sighed.

The friends around him all laughed at Nie Wei's words, but when many people laughed, they were also envious from the bottom of their hearts. Nie Wei could say this and dared to say this, which proved that the relationship between him and Shu Chang was It's really good, but if you tell others that your husband and wife never quarrel, there may be problems in the relationship.

After all, how can people get along with each other without conflicts? Even children and their parents who have been closest to each other since childhood will have the habit of looking down on each other. What's more, couples who have been together for a shorter period of time, if love goes to their heads for a while, can they still be together? It's impossible to be unconscious all the time, but if you really can be unconscious for a lifetime, Nie Wei feels that you are really capable.

After Nie Wei finished speaking, he turned the topic to Zhou Duoduo.

The little girl was so smart that she started chatting along with Nie Wei's sigh just now. What's particularly interesting is that what she said was obviously the same thing as Nie Wei, but the content was completely different.

"I don't know my brother. He approaches my sister-in-law in the name of a man. In fact, he just wants to show his affection to her because she is beautiful. He even recognized a sister. In fact, he is taking care of her and preparing a future wife for himself. My sister-in-law is just like a little white rabbit. She is very simple and was deceived by my brother in a few moves..."

Seeing Nie Wei hurriedly covering Zhou Duoduo's mouth, the others laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Later, Hu Jun, Song Qian, Liu Xiyun, Huang Ting, Xie Na, Jia Ling and others talked about the difficulties they encountered when they debuted. Nie Wei did not forget to take care of Mu Han. He not only introduced her to several celebrities, but also took the opportunity to let Mu Han perform some talents.

Everyone comforted each other and warmed each other. Finally, they chatted with laughter until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then they finished the warm-house banquet.

Several children stayed behind to wash the dishes and clean the table. Teacher He wanted to help, but was persuaded by Nie Wei to go back. After all, several men drank a lot of wine today. Nie Wei was fine, but Teacher He and Hu Jun were obviously a little drunk, so Nie Wei asked them to rest early.

Nie Wei helped the children wash the dishes, and then returned to the second floor. However, he did not go to bed directly, but sat down on the sofa in the leisure area.

Boil water and make tea. Nie Wei looked at the bright moon outside the window. After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhou Duoduo also came to the leisure area in pajamas.

Feeling the extra warmth beside him, Nie Wei smiled and asked, "How is life after debut? Are you satisfied?"

"Not good." Zhou Duoduo leaned on Nie Wei's shoulder and pouted her lips to answer. This answer was not that Zhou Duoduo wanted to act like a spoiled child, but it was really not very good.

It has been half a year since their team debuted, but the results achieved are far from expectations.

According to the company's plan, they were supposed to hold their first concert in August, but now because of the low popularity, the concert can only be postponed indefinitely.

What hurt Zhou Duoduo was that some media outside said that they were Huayi's first "failed idol group", and this title hit Zhou Duoduo and her teammates hard.

Nie Wei actually understood their situation, so Zhou Duoduo didn't need to explain anything more.

In fact, compared with other groups that debuted at the same time, Zhou Duoduo's group is still the most watched one, but compared with the company's senior girl groups, Zhou Duoduo's group seems to be a bit of a failure.

You should know that when their group debuted, not only did they make a documentary, but the company also invested several times more in publicity than Song Qian's group, and even sent Song Qian and her group abroad to develop for this purpose, just to make way for this group of newly debuted girls.

It's a pity that Huayi chose the wrong path for the girls.

When Zhou Duoduo and her group debuted, they followed the Chinese style, rather than the current mainstream electronic music and pop styles. The Chinese style is actually not uncommon. There was Jay Chou before and Xu Song after. During this period, many excellent ancient style works emerged. But in the final analysis, the Chinese style is not mainstream in the Chinese music circle, and it is even a niche in the world music circle.

This led to the fact that after these girls debuted, many people liked them, but it was difficult for them to break out of the circle and be recognized and accepted by the public.

The debut song "Hong Zhaoyuan" given to them by Nie Wei has already rushed into the Star Music Chart and won the first place for several weeks, but it was useless. The popularity of the members could not be accumulated. In addition to Zhou Duoduo, only Huang Ting and A Qiao had some popularity, and the remaining three became soy sauce roles.

This is a failure for Huayi, a very failure!

"A bit confused?"

"Well, I've been running various activities and appearing on various programs recently, but I just feel that what's the point of doing these things mechanically? I feel that it doesn't help the group's situation at all. It doesn't seem to save lives, and there is no hope at all. It seems to be hanging on to life." Zhou Duoduo's description is very accurate. At present, the group relies on these popular members to use exposure to support it, so as not to fall into despair.

But this is obviously not a long-term solution. The company is also discussing whether the team should transform and not focus on the Huaxia style, but change to other styles.

But some people think that if the Huaxia style is successful, Zhou Duoduo and others will become a symbol of the Huaxia girl group, and their achievements will be higher than those of the first-generation idol girl groups such as Song Qian.

Nie Wei thinks that these people are taking it for granted and will not turn back even if they hit the wall.

"Do you want to participate in the variety show that Teacher He and I mentioned today?" Nie Wei suddenly asked.

"What variety show, talent show? But I've already debuted." Zhou Duoduo was surprised.

"It doesn't matter if you debut. This variety show is for idols like you. Let me tell you about it." Nie Wei told Zhou Duoduo about the variety show he planned.

"Produce-101" is the name of this variety show.

It's called a talent show, but it's actually a microcosm of a practice room, which is the so-called girl group debut plan. The participants are all trainees selected by major companies and some idols who failed to debut.

Finally, some top talents will be selected and a temporary new group will be formed to operate.

There are many benefits. These trainees can debut through this program, and failed idols can also get a new life through this program. During the broadcast of the program, these participants can also gain considerable popularity, and the group formed at that time will also be very eye-catching.

Although the temporary group will be handed over to Fanxing Company for operation, the time will not be too long. Two years is just right. When the time is up, these children will go back to their own homes. By then, they will all be mature idols and can become the leading artists of major companies.

Nie Wei explained it to Zhou Duoduo, and the latter understood this variety show very well.

"It's a cruel competition system, but it's also very exciting. I think it will definitely attract people." Zhou Duoduo commented. She is an experienced person, and the cruel competition system makes her yearn for it. After all, she also climbed up step by step among hundreds of trainees. Only such a competition system will make her feel exciting.

However, she is still a little hesitant, because if she participates in this variety show, it means that she will be away from the team for two years. After two years, what will the team look like? It is even uncertain whether it will still exist.

"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer from chaos." Looking at Zhou Duoduo's tangled expression, Nie Wei said.

Zhou Duoduo was stunned for a moment when she heard these eight words. When she came back to her senses, her eyes were no longer erratic, but became much firmer.

"Brother, can Huang Ting also participate? It's a pity for her to stay in that group." Zhou Duoduo was actually hesitant about Huang Ting before. This is her good friend. They grew up together and debuted together. She didn't want to leave her behind at this time.

"Of course, no problem. And that A Qiao, I'm going to send her to that show."

Zhou Duoduo didn't say anything else, but leaned closer to Nie Wei. She had a feeling in her heart that this variety show was specially made by her brother to save her idol career.

But is this idea a bit too absurd? Zhou Duoduo shook her little head.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay. I'm just sleepy. I'm going back to sleep." Zhou Duoduo came back to her senses and felt that her previous actions were so stupid, so she ran away quickly.

Watching Zhou Duoduo's slightly embarrassed escape, Nie Wei looked at her dotingly until her back disappeared in the corridor.

Every two minutes, another girl appeared in the leisure area.

"Teacher Nie, do you want coffee?" Song Qian asked Nie Wei, holding a bag of coffee beans.

"Why don't you try the tea I brewed?" Nie Wei invited with a smile. Song Qian did not insist. She put down the coffee beans, sat on the sofa opposite Nie Wei, and poured herself a cup of tea.

"It tastes good." Song Qian did not know how to taste tea, but she just thought that the tea smelled pleasant and tasted good.

After drinking a cup of tea, Song Qian spoke again.

"Teacher Nie, I want to ask you a question." Song Qian said, but as soon as she finished speaking, Nie Wei also put down the teacup and said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, I also have a question to ask you."
