Chapter 255: The Artist Life Cycle Theory
Chen Minhao's words are not to pat Kang's back ass.
It's Chen Minhao who feels that he has realized a different Kang Hui.
Chen Minhao carefully recalled the past, although Kang Hui often talked about money when she opened her mouth and closed her mouth, what she did basically did not involve money, but it was completely to practice her ideals: to bring her artists into global superstars.
Kang Hui is still a contract signed with Shenmeng Agency, which means that Kang Hui's income is linked to the performance of her artists, in other words, the more money Chen Minhao makes to the company, the more money Kang Hui makes.
But whenever Chen Minhao's interests and the company's interests conflict, Kang Hui does not hesitate to stand on Chen Minhao's side, because Chen Minhao represents the possibility of realizing her ideals.
In a sense, Kang Hui is not a good employee or a professional workplace manager. She mixed too much of her own personal emotions in her professional work, which is of course poison for Zhang Jianzhang, but this emotion is not honey for Chen Minhao, but a double-edged sword.
For Chen Minhao, if he sets up his own independent studio in the future, and Kang Hui is still his agent, if his goal has always been to move closer to the goal of global superstar, the two can walk hand in hand. But Chen Minhao changed his mind one day, so Kang Hui may be separated from him.
But it was not until this moment that Chen Minhao truly identified Kang Hui as the core team of his future. Because although Chen Minhao didn't say it, he had the same goal of aiming at the global superstar.
It's a difficult road, so Chen Minhao needs a team to stand behind him and support him. Kang Hui is very capable, but not the strongest, Kang Hui is kind to himself, but there are many ways to repay the kindness.
You can't be selfish, but ideals are selfish things, and sometimes if you don't compare them, you will miss a millimeter. The ideal was defeated, but life did not start over.
Chen Minhao was thinking about the future, and Kang Hui was silent, she felt that she was surrounded by Chen Minhao's words: "People with idealistic cores have lived into the appearance of refined egoism." "Touched, no one has ever made such an accurate and objective evaluation of her.
Chen Minhao took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "For the Chinese music scene, no matter what we do, it is better than nothing, I hope that because of my existence, we can inject new vitality into the music scene." ”
Kang Hui nodded and said, "Okay." Hopefully we can bring some positive influences. But then again, after you won two trophies at the Golden Melody Awards, you have almost risen from the second tier to the first tier now. ”
Chen Minhao took a sip of coffee and asked, "Sister Kang, how do you often divide the first, second, and third lines?"
Kang Hui smiled and said: "This is just a general distinction made by people based on celebrity popularity, and there are no very strict boundaries. Compared with this division method, I prefer another current professional division method - artist life cycle theory.
The first stage of an artist is an idol, that is, the artist is well-known, popular, and has his own core fan base. You're probably at this stage in "Artist Trainee".
The second stage is traffic stars, compared with idols, a significant feature of traffic stars is that they are out of the village, in other words, they have broken through the circle and become familiar to the public, with a topic degree and greater commercial value.
After the broadcast of "And Dilian" and "The Best of Us", you will probably become a traffic star. The follow-up Paris Fashion Week, college entrance exam results, and Burberry posters are just adding to the hot spots, and they won't make you a superstar.
The third stage is superstars, generally speaking, it is the traffic stars who have their own masterpieces through transformation, and they no longer need to rely on fans to pull the box office and ratings, and they can also stand the test of the market.
At present, there is still a certain distance from the top traffic, and in terms of film and television, there is no masterpiece that can be done.
In fact, from the second stage to the third stage of superstars, for many traffic stars, it is an insurmountable gap. It is not easy to have your own masterpieces, but masterpieces can be met but not sought.
Especially now that there are so many opportunities to make quick money, few traffic stars are willing to calm down and polish their works. After all, time is money for them. So, when you proposed that you were going to a university to study acting, I was very pleased.
The word traffic star is fluid, no one will always be a traffic star, there will always be fresher little fresh meat. Therefore, there are not a few traffic stars who want to transform, and there are almost few who succeed.
Because now non-fans have a natural rejection of people who are labeled as traffic stars, and subconsciously reject the movies they starred in and the music they sang. Therefore, except for Burberry and a few sports brands, I basically don't let you accept advertisements, and at the same time, the behavior of your fans is particularly restrained, just afraid that passers-by will see you as a traffic star.
But now that your fan base is large, the management cost has increased linearly, and the inflated speeches of passers-by and white prostitute fans may make us lose all our previous efforts, making you no different from other traffic stars.
In short, you need to come up with some masterpieces in film and television as soon as possible to gag other people's mouths. You have to audition for "The River Flows Quietly" which has stirred up a lot of people's nerves, and I guess they may take advantage of a singer who is not good at singing and come to the film and television industry to act and make a fuss. So, we have to win one of "The River Flows Quietly" and "The Detective" anyway, so as to prove that the music is great and the performance is good. ”
Chen Minhao said confidently: "Don't worry, from looking for a teacher in January to now, almost a year, I haven't had a day of messing around." ”
Kang Hui chuckled and said, "That's good." By the way, wait until around the release of your movie next year, and you release a good quality album, and your basic plate will be stable.
If all goes well by then, it's best to make another movie in which you're the main character. In this way, when the movie is broadcast, when your popularity is relatively high, we will leave the company to open an independent studio, and then it will be good to take on new jobs. ”
Chen Minhao nodded and asked, "Sister Kang, did you tell Mr. Zhang about what I want to make the music brokerage business independent?"
Kang Hui rubbed his head and said, "I haven't seen him in the past few days, and I haven't opened my mouth yet, so I haven't had time to talk to him Mr. Zhang." But it's okay, you don't have to worry, it's on me. ”
Chen Minhao has always been more confident in Kang Hui's work ability, after all, Kang Hui said that if he wants to eat peaches, she will find a way to pick them.
Chen Minhao still has classes in the afternoon, and after he pays for the coffee for the two, he goes back to school.
On the way back to school, Chen Minhao's mobile phone rang, and it was a number that had not been remarked. In order to avoid the recurrence of the Huang Feifei Oolong incident, Chen Minhao still picked up the phone.
"Xiao Chen, hello, I'm Lu Huiping, tomorrow is the weekend, do you have time? Let's come out and talk. ”
