Chapter 52: The Law of the Jungle in the Entertainment Industry (Thanks to the Ingot King for the reward)

Just a week after the group was formed, "UFO Girl" received endorsements from two well-known brands.

One is "laughing haha" yogurt, a fast-moving consumer product.

One is the "Mabel" brand under the largest Oushiya Group in the beauty industry, affordable makeup.

The nine beautiful girls successfully completed the two commercials, the advertisers were very satisfied, and the girls were also happy in their hearts.

The endorsement fee for an advertisement is several million, and this time the money has doubled!

However, after carefully calculating the remuneration at night, they found that the millions were just legends, and they could get not even a fraction of what they could get.

Here's how the account is counted—

After the "UFO Girl" formed a group, according to the pre-game agreement, each member signed a one-year contract with Seal Entertainment.

During the year, all of their activities were arranged and represented by Seal Entertainment.

In terms of remuneration, Seal Entertainment takes 7 percent, and the rest is distributed to the respective brokerage companies of the members according to the head.

The brokerage company then takes a certain percentage of the commission, so that after the two screenings, the remaining money is the personal income of each member of the group.

For example, the "laughing haha" yogurt that Seal Entertainment talked about to the "UFO Girl" has an endorsement fee of 6 million.

Seal Entertainment took 4.2 million, and the remaining 1.8 million was divided equally among various brokerage companies, with 200,000 yuan per company.

The company will take away another 5-8 percent, and finally a 6 million endorsement, which can be obtained by individual members, more than 100,000, less than 40,000.

What is the evil of capitalist exploitation, there is a living example in front of us!

However, among the nine members of the group, there are exceptions.

Special case one, Xia Xueying.

She signed a contract with Seal Entertainment as a personal trainee. After the seal took 7 percent, the remaining 3 percent went into her purse.

Special case two, Lin Tianlan.

She originally signed a personal brokerage contract with Seal Entertainment. A one-year group contract is considered an agreement.

Draw once or twice, it all depends on how the company considers, and there is more room for operation.

For her, Seal Entertainment generously decided not to take a second commission, so she can also directly get 3% of the remuneration.

And Zeng Xiaoxi, who also signed a personal agency contract with Seal Entertainment during the competition, did not have the good luck of Lin Tianlan.

She, like the other six members of the group who originally had a brokerage company, had to be given a second draw.

That's right, Seal Entertainment treated Lin Tianlan and Zeng Xiaoxi differently. However, capitalists are not philanthropists, and there is no reason to give money to others for no reason.

was polite to Lin Tianlan, and there was a reason for it.

On the night of the final, Lin Tianlan could have won the second place. The third place is also likely to be Zeng Xiaoxi.

But this kind of result is obviously intolerable to other brokerage companies.

"UFO Girl" is the first popular girl group voted by the whole people in China, and its establishment has epoch-making significance.

In such a team, the commercial value of the top three is not the same as that of ordinary team members.

For example, if the girl group goes out to participate in an event and is interviewed, if the time is limited, then it is likely that only the top three will be interviewed, and the other members can only show their faces briefly.

Receiving endorsements, taking on dramas, participating in variety shows, and so on...... Good resources will be prioritized towards the top three. Their worth will also be higher than that of the last few places.

Even if the contract expires a year later and the girl group is disbanded, this achievement, which was once the top three of the first girl group in China, will always be a glamorous and proud stroke in the resume.

In the later stage of the competition, after big data analysis, it is estimated that the top three voted by the founders of the whole people will basically be Xia Xueying, Lin Tianlan, and Zeng Xiaoxi.

The first place, Xia Xueying, is a personal trainee. Helplessly, her popularity is too high, and her background is unfathomable, so she can only endure it.

But the second and third places are also trainees signed by seals?

What kind of reputation are other brokerage companies? Do you send your own artists over to accompany you? This is unbearable!

After some games, when the finals were approaching, it was finally finalized that Song Keren and Xu Yin would be sent to the top three.

As for the ballots, falsification does not count either. His own agency threw money to invest in the artist, and after the money went into the seal's pocket, it was equivalent to the left pocket into the right pocket. The latter ones don't have to be broken.

Lin Tianlan and Zeng Xiaoxi are both from the grassroots.

It's just that Lin Tianlan is very appreciated by Zhen Yangbo, the first brother in the music world, and she herself does have a talent for singing, and the resources she can get in music may not be something that others can ask for.

She has a very good relationship with Xia Xueying, and no one dares to underestimate her based on this alone.

Therefore, after the program team found out that Lin Tianlan didn't care about the ranking, they sent Mao Zhengnan's new song and gave concessions in the contract.

After all, she didn't treat her badly.

As for Zeng Xiaoxi, she has no background, and it all depends on her popularity, so no one will want to give her any explanation and compensation.

So far, I'm afraid she thinks that her popularity has declined at the last moment, so she lost the top three.

What kind of apprehension, insecurity, anxiety, and struggle this girl will experience is her own business. Who cares?

It reminds people of the law of the jungle: natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the jungle, and finally, survival of the fittest.

This is the entertainment industry, the reality is almost ruthless, and it is so real.

After a period of running tours, playing new songs, commercial performances, and endorsement platforms, Seal Entertainment also began to allocate independent resources to each member according to their situation.

Lin Tianlan and Mao Zhengnan's new song "Happy Field" received a very good response and dominated the top of major music charts. Electronic albums sold so high that even the thousands of physical albums symbolically prepared were sold out. Now the company has started to release a second wave of physical albums.

While the company is tailoring a new single for her, it also arranges for her to be a resident guest in the high-rated music program "The Heart of Sound". This opportunity is not easy to strive for, thanks to Zhen Yangbo, who was originally the most important guest of the show, and strongly recommended her. It's done.

He Zhishan, Min Jiayi, An Yiqi and Zhu Yaqing were arranged to act in a sitcom-style youth web drama similar to "Friends". In addition, the resources of several small variety show flying guests were distributed to them.

Zeng Xiaoxi went to a very popular food show as a guest, and was also arranged to play the female number three in the star TV series.

Song Keren originally wanted to go to "The Heart of Sound", but he had no choice but to operate for a long time, but he didn't squeeze in.

had to settle for the next best thing and went to a tepid singing show as a tutor. Regardless of whether the show is cool or not, she herself has finally completed the leap from contestant to mentor quickly, and it can be regarded as the third runner-up of the women's group in vain.

At the same time, she also has a sense of crisis, and found that her resources collided with Lin Tianlan, and began to transform into a singer-songwriter, trying to broaden her path. In this regard, the seal company is also happy to see it.

For the champion and runner-up, Poster Entertainment still attaches great importance to it, and as soon as it came up, Xia Xueying was arranged to be the female lead of a star TV series.

Xu Yin's side arranged the female number one of the online drama adapted from the well-known Internet Small.

As a result, Xia Xueying flipped through the script and said that she didn't want to act.
