This star’s style is wrong

"Infernal Affairs" is scheduled to be released on National Day, and Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures immediately began to promote it.

Ark Culture's subsidiaries also promote it together.

When going on road shows, they will also bring along the girl group Fluorescent Girls of Guangguang Entertainment for promotion.

However, the popularity of fluorescent girls has actually become less and less popular.

After all, Fluorescent Girls has been in the group for six years. For a girl group, six years is already pretty good.

Moreover, many of the members of Fluorescent Girls have expired or are about to expire.

actually.

Idol groups usually reach their peak when they debut, and then, depending on the fate of their members, those who are popular become popular, and those who are not popular become obsolete.

For example, entertainment giants such as Chaoyin Culture and Shengqi Entertainment have launched idol groups in the past few years, all of which exist in the form of limited groups.

The limited period of the group is two years, and it will be disbanded after two years.

The reason why these entertainment giants do this is obvious. Idol groups eat youth food. Their popularity will be exhausted in two years, and there will not be much profit in the future.

In fact.

This kind of limited-group idol is most popular three months after the talent show ends. After three months, the popularity drops, and there is only a little residual value left.

Fluorescent Girls has been operating for six years and is already the top girl group.

The reason why it has been able to operate for so long is very simple.

There is work!

One song of "Persian Cat" is enough to last a lifetime, and this song is particularly suitable for girl groups.

Moreover, Fluorescent Girls belongs to the girl group under Guangguang Entertainment.

As for Guangguang Entertainment, Fang Xing owns half of the shares.

During the performance, the fluorescent girl can sing Ark Culture songs at will.

Therefore, fluorescent girls are not short of singing, it just depends on whether they can sing well.

However, even so, six years have passed and the life cycle of a girl group has reached its final stage.

Some of the members of Fluorescent Girls are very popular, and they should be able to develop well after the group disbands.

Some are not very popular and can only take on group work.

Tong Fei did not continue to invest more resources in the fluorescent girl because the contract was about to expire.

Two of their contracts have expired, but they have not left the group yet. They are just continuing to work with the group. You can leave at any time if you want.

Tong Fei has also discussed contract renewal with several teams.

A popular member who doesn't want to renew his contract and wants to go solo.

For members who are more confused, it is useless to renew their contracts.

After the most popular ones left, there were only a few people left, and continuing to form a group of fluorescent girls was just an empty show.

therefore.

Tong Fei is already involved in the second-generation fluorescent girl group and is training trainees.

Some time ago, Tong Fei talked with Fang Xing, hoping to help the Fluorescent Girls Second Generation Group create a group song.

besides.

Tong Fei still wants to renew her contract with Zhou Xueyan, the most popular member of Fluorescent Girls, but the negotiation has never been concluded.

Zhou Xueyan is indeed the type of fluorescent girl who can become famous at a glance.

Whether a star is popular or not can sometimes be determined just by looking at it.

Some celebrities will attract the attention of the audience as soon as they stand in front of the camera.

Zhou Xueyan will do something good when she appears on the show. She can have a good variety show effect. She can sing and dance well. She is definitely popular.

According to Tong Fei's eyes, Zhou Xueyan can continue to develop in the entertainment industry.

So, she wanted to renew her contract.

However, Zhou Xueyan's contract is about to expire, and many entertainment companies want to poach people.

It is not accurate to say that people are poached. After all, poaching people after the contract is over does not violate the contract.

…

Tong Fei made several requests, hoping that Fang Xing could meet and talk with Zhou Xueyan and several popular members.

Fang Xing was busy promoting "Infernal Affairs", so it was delayed for a few days.

This afternoon, I had time to go to Guangguang Entertainment.

Tong Fei quickly called all nine members of Fluorescent Girl back for a meeting.

"I invited Mr. Fang here today, mainly to talk about contract renewal..."

Tong Fei spoke first and made it clear what was to be discussed: "After the contract is renewed, Fluorescent Girls will not disband, but they will develop separately in the future and may perform together several times a year."

This is basically how idol groups develop until the end.

The popular members are busy with work and have no time to perform with the group.

However, no popular members participated in the performance, and no sponsors were willing to invite them.

In the end, the group name will not disband, but they will develop separately, and then perform together at large-scale parties every year to leave fans with a message.

Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

These two are the most popular members of Fluorescent Girls, and both have the ability to fly solo.

Of course, today's idol groups will not publicly announce their disbandment even if they go solo. In the future, if the price can be negotiated, they will still reunite to perform at the party.

However, if the members sign with other agencies, it will be very difficult to integrate.

Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian have been poached by many entertainment companies.

These things are not secrets, Tong Fei has known about them for a long time.

This is common when a contract is about to expire.

Whether or not the contract can be renewed depends on one's ability.

In fact, Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian were very respectful to Fang Xing. When they saw Fang Xing today, they enthusiastically bowed and shook hands.

If it wasn't inappropriate, I might have wanted to hug him and kiss him twice.

They are actually a little nostalgic for Fluorescent Girls, because there were works during the period of Fluorescent Girls.

As long as "Persian Cat" is sung at a concert, the whole audience will sing.

However, if the two of them sign to another entertainment company, they will not be able to continue singing "Persian Cat".

The copyright of "Persian Cat" belongs to Ark Culture.

Fluorescent Girls belongs to a girl group affiliated with Ark Culture, so naturally they can sing this song.

If Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian sign with other agencies and want to sing this song, they will have to talk to Ark Culture's copyright department.

However, this created a competitive relationship, and it was impossible for the Ark Cultural Copyright Department to authorize "Persian Cat" to other entertainment companies without Tong Fei opening her mouth.

Seeing the two people's eyes wandering, Tong Fei said directly: "It doesn't matter. Let's talk it out today. If you want to renew the contract, you can stay. If you don't want to renew the contract, just get together and break up. Don't end up embarrassing everyone."

After many celebrities have contract disputes, they often quarrel with their agencies, which ends up being embarrassing for both parties.

Tong Fei wants to keep these two people, but she won't force them.

Zhou Xueyan took the initiative and said: "I am very grateful to Mr. Fang and Mr. Tong for their cultivation, but the life cycle of our girl group is very short. I want to join Chaoyin Culture's limited group."

Chaoyin Culture is preparing a limited group, which will be accompanied by a limited group talent show.

To put it simply, this limited group talent show is a comeback show for idol groups.

With the ages of Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, if they form a limited group now, they can indeed become famous for another two years.

Moreover, since Chaoyin Culture has poached them, they must have given special conditions, and most likely they have signed a group quota in the contract.

For this kind of limited group talent show, the final number of people in the group is fixed.

Those who did not form a group in the end were actually cannon fodder.

If the contract can guarantee the formation of a group, then it is indeed a good opportunity to become popular.

For Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian, this limited group of Chaoyin Culture is indeed a good opportunity.

Tong Fei once considered asking Fang Xing to write another song for them to keep them.

However, Fang Xing refused.

Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian are standard girl group members. They are passable in singing and dancing, but just passable.

It is difficult for them to sing well in songs that require singing skills.

If there are good songs, wouldn’t it be good for a good singer to sing them?

If it's a girl group dance song, it's also nothing new.

Fluorescent Girls have been around for six years, and it’s not appropriate to create a girl group song about pretending to be Persian cats at this time.

Moreover, Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian don’t want to waste time in Fluorescent Girls because of a girl group song.

It is difficult for a girl group song to make a fluorescent girl famous, but a new limited group, plus a talent show, can make them famous.

The final outcome of many idol groups is the same.

In the end, idol groups all develop independently. Even if they don't announce their disbandment, they still appear to be not disbanding and actually go solo.

Fang Xing has watched several performances of Fluorescent Girls in the past two years. They were at the level of a girl group, and there were no outstanding singers, so it was difficult to switch to being a singer.

There are a few who went to act, but their results were so-so. How they develop in the future depends on luck.

After listening to their opinions, Fang Xing looked at Tong Fei and said, "Since everyone has a plan, it's easy to get together and disperse without disbanding, so just leave the fluorescent girl in the memory of the fans and develop separately." .

"Discuss the following work with Mr. Tong. Whether to renew the contract depends on your own wishes. After separation, everyone will still be a family."

After Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian listened, they stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Fang."

In fact, there are many brokerage companies that will reveal dirty information about artists and threaten them to renew their contracts when their contracts expire.

Fang Xing was very generous. Seeing that they all had plans, he thought it would be better to get together and disperse easily.

Tong Fei frowned, but still wanted to fight for it again: "Xueyan, Qianqian, don't you think about it anymore? If you renew the contract, I will definitely ask Mr. Fang to arrange a new group song for you."

In fact, if Tong Fei really opened her mouth, Fang Xing would still give her a song.

However, the group of fluorescent girls has lost their hearts.

Among the nine fluorescent girls, the reactions were very real.

Those with low popularity want to renew their contracts and stay in the group, while those with high popularity want to develop independently.

Fang Xing could tell that the group was disheartened.

Even though the girl group is in front of the screen and shouts "the team is still together" every day, they still focus on money.

"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. I wish you all a great success in the future." After Fang Xing finished speaking, he stood up and left the office.

Tong Fei also saw the thoughts of several popular members, and called the vice president of Guangguang Entertainment, saying: "Arrange the work behind Fluorescent Girl. In that case, we are holding a farewell concert. The farewell concert is over After that, everyone can develop independently.”

After saying that, she hurried out of the office and chased Fang Xing.

Then, he took Fang Xing to the rehearsal room of Guangguang Entertainment: "Don't leave in a hurry. I'll show you the new people in the company."

She dragged Fang Xing into the rehearsal room, where there were eight or nine girls practicing with the dance teacher.

As soon as Tong Fei walked in, a trainee stopped to say hello: "How are you, Mr. Tong?"

"Hello, Mr. Tong."

Tong Fei gestured to Fang Xing and said, "What's the use of asking me? Let's see who this is."

A group of girls suddenly expressed surprise and gathered around: "Hello, Teacher Fang, Hello, Teacher Fang... I am your fan, a die-hard fan. I have listened to every song of yours."

"I like to watch teacher's TV series, especially Brother Chang Su."

"I really saw a real person today."

Since Fang Xing doesn't necessarily go to work at Ark Culture, subsidiaries like Guangguang Entertainment come even less often.

therefore.

These new trainees recruited by Tong Fei had never even met Fang Xing before.

Fang Xing smiled at the group of girls and said, "Keep practicing and don't worry about me."

Tong Fei clapped her hands and said: "Hurry up, keep practicing and perform better. If Mr. Fang is satisfied and arranges a song for you, it will be your turn to dominate the charts."

A group of trainees quickly arranged their positions and started practicing again.

Tong Feila Fang Xing sat down and said, "This is the second-generation group I plan to promote. Take a look and see which one you like. If it's suitable, I'll arrange one or two songs."

Fang Xing nodded, looked at the group of trainees, and said, "They're all pretty good."

Tong Fei continued: "Chaoyin Culture's limited group program will be broadcast in the first quarter of next year. Judging from Zhou Xueyan and Ren Qianqian's intentions, they must participate. Their contracts will expire next month, so they can't stop it.

“I heard that in Chaoyin Culture’s limited group this time, Zhou Xueyan is not necessarily in the C position, and the trainees she has found are very popular.

"It is estimated that Chaoyin Culture's limited group program will be very popular this time, and Guangguang Entertainment's performance will be severely suppressed by then."

Guangguang Entertainment mainly operates idol groups and has always been run by Tong Fei.

Fang Xing is mainly responsible for producing songs and providing performance resources for Ark Culture.

Now, Fluorescent Girls is about to disband, the farewell concert is over, and the members will go their separate ways.

After that, Guangguang Entertainment's performance could only rely on Shen Xiyin's group.

Shen Xiyin's group is okay. After all, Shen Xiyin's singing skills and timbre are pretty good, so she can be a singer.

It is difficult for girl groups to become evergreen, but big vocals from girl groups can.

But.

After Fluorescent Girls disbanded, only Shen Xiyin was left to support the performance of Guangguang Entertainment, which was also very difficult.

Therefore, the second-generation group will definitely be promoted, it just depends on when.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry about this and said, "Let them practice singing and dancing first, and we'll see when the time comes."

Ever since they saw Fang Xing, these trainees felt like they had been given a boost of blood and practiced even harder.

In the eyes of these young girls who dream of becoming stars, fluorescent girls are their dreams.

Even though Fluorescent Girls is about to disband, it was really popular back then.

If you ask on the street about the song "Persian Cat", almost everyone has heard it.

Therefore, these girls in the second generation group also want to own their "Persian Cat".

Tong Fei still uses the last-place elimination system to train trainees. Now there are nine trainees, and the second-generation group that will be promoted in the end may only have seven people.

If you want to debut as a group, you have to work hard.

Finished dealing with the matter of Guangguang Entertainment.

Fang Xing continued to lead the crew of "Infernal Affairs" on promotional tours, from Donghai TV to Xiangjiang TV, and then to Jiangnan TV.

We went on all the variety shows on David TV to promote "Infernal Affairs".

There is no advertising fee for the crew to participate in these programs.

This is also an industry rule. When celebrities go to provincial TV's top variety shows to promote movies and TV series, there is basically no notice fee, and of course no advertising fee.

The major TV stations did not take any money and allowed Fang Xing to promote "Infernal Affairs" on the program for free, so they were naturally happy to do so.

Because it is not easy to invite Fang Xing, Liu Hanyi, and Liang Youhua to these programs, and it is even more impossible to invite them all at once.

So, this is a win-win cooperation.
