Chapter 151: Creation 101!
"Na, these are the materials of the three girls, you can study them slowly!" Shi Ran held a large pile of materials in front of Li Mu, with a gloating expression.
Li Mu was dumbfounded: "Sister Ran, you won't be so ruthless, right?"
Shi Ran covered his mouth and smiled: "Come less, I not only had to take the two of you at the beginning, but also managed the company, so you can't play with a combination?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and retreated, and by the way, he also closed the office door for him.
Jokes aside, Li Mu still picked up the information in front of him very seriously and looked at it, as an agent, knowing his artist is the first prerequisite.
If you don't even know your own artists, how can you plan a route for them, formulate a publicity plan, and then fight for resources?
Even artists who used to be diva often lose a good game because of their unclear positioning.
It's like Zhang Huimei, when Zhang Yusheng was here, all her songs and positioning were very clear, and she took the route of wild beauty and international style, but after Zhang Yusheng left, Zhang Huimei has been eating her old books and going downhill.
Some people may say that after Zhang Yusheng left, no one wrote songs for her, is this really the case?
"My Dearest", "Can I Hold You", "If You Have Heard] and so on are all the works of Zhang Huimei after Zhang Yusheng left, she was already a diva at that time, in fact, there was no shortage of song resources.
To put it bluntly, there is still no one who understands her to make a follow-up development plan for her, in a place like the entertainment industry that is changing with each passing day, don't say regression, even if you stand still, you will be quickly eliminated by this circle.
In general, the agent is equivalent to the artist's guide in the entertainment industry, if even this guide is a "blind man", sooner or later the artist will be brought to the ditch.
The training materials in front of Li Mu are very detailed, starting from their first day of training, they each formulated the training content for them, which ones were effective, which ones were detours, and which ones had not had time to train because of lack of time, this is Sun Ying's style of doing things.
Through this pile of detailed reports, Li Mu also has a general understanding of these three girls.
The youngest Huang Zilan is a naughty bag in the team, straightforward and fast-talking, often making some jokes, and looks like a cute little girl next door.
Shen Meng is the face of the team, gentle and generous, with long hair fluttering, and is the eldest sister in the team.
Liu Qinmei is relatively cold, she usually doesn't talk much, but in fact, she is as careful as a hair, and her treble is very distinctive.
Since he took this job, Li Mu also quickly entered the role, and began to ask the publicity and distribution department for information on some recent variety shows.
Regarding Li Mu's identity as an intern, the company is just having fun, which one really dares to treat the boss as an intern?
The leaders of the Propaganda and Development Department hurriedly asked people to sort out the information and send it to Li Mu.
If you want to say that the most cost-effective and fastest way to promote newcomers in Huaxia has to be a variety of talent shows, and even many famous singers do not hesitate to "return to the furnace and rebuild".
However, only a small part of them have really become popular through variety shows, and the vast majority of them have gradually disappeared from the public's field of vision as the popularity of variety shows fades.
If these three girls want to make their debut, the choice of platform is also crucial, just like the "Voice of Dreams" on the mentor lineup and stage facilities once held by Modu Satellite TV, it can be said that they are all first-class, but what about the final result? None of the contestants who make people remember their names have been launched.
This is very tragic, the most important thing for the entertainment company is whether my contestants can be popular on your show, you don't even have a popular one, is the entertainment company still willing to play with you? This forms a vicious circle, and finally the dream of the voice disappears after a few sessions.
Li Mu took a look, there are four large-scale music variety shows in the preparation stage recently, among which the good voice of Zhejiang Blue Satellite TV is naturally the most concerned.
However, The Voice has always been a one-man fight, and the few pairs that have not achieved too good results have been achieved.
Li Mu couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to discuss with Sun Ying, Sun Ying was also a little undecided for a while, and suddenly her hand in flipping through the information paused.
"Well, why don't you think about it?"
Seeing this information, Li Mu was really stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I always feel a little unreliable, I was eliminated in the first round, do you think it is appropriate to be a mentor?"
Sun Ying snickered: "I think it's very good, so that there is a topic, and you still have money to get as a tutor, and by the way, you can also walk through the back door for the three girls, right?"
Li Mu rolled his eyes, took the information again, and fell into contemplation, there is no doubt that Penguin Entertainment's creation of 101 is hot, even after two years, Rocket Girl is still active in the entertainment industry, this time Penguin Entertainment re-organizes the creation of 101, which will undoubtedly detonate the ratings boom again, and it just so happens that the three girls are also taking the team route.
"Hey, why do you feel that I can't get out of this show?" Li Mu sighed.
Sun Ying gloated and laughed: "You deserve it!"
This can't be reasonable, Li Mu finally accepted the invitation of Penguin Entertainment, of course, Penguin Entertainment also spent a lot of money this time, Li Mu's mentor fee alone is as high as 40 million, and in the end, the production cost of the entire show may exceed 100 million.
.............
Sun Ying "accidentally" revealed the news to the three girls, and then quietly withdrew.
Before she could turn around, she heard a scream from inside, and she couldn't help but laugh and shake her head.
"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, are you? Huang Zilan's little face turned red with excitement.
As soon as the words fell, the cheeks on both sides were grabbed by Shen Meng and Liu Qinmei.
"Ouch, let go, my face is already big, if you pull it again, it won't look good on TV!" Huang Zilan complained.
Shen Meng tried the feel, couldn't stop, and said with a smile: "Since it's all so big, I don't care if it's bigger." Maybe it's more distinctive, and it will be popular as soon as it appears?"
Liu Qin covered her eyebrows and snickered, Huang Zilan slapped her two evil hands away and said coquettishly: "You bully people, see how I clean you up." ”
"Ah~~~"
After a fight, the three girls fell to the floor, panting.
"Hey, you say, can we really be popular?" Huang Zilan muttered.
Shen Meng shook her head blankly, if she had been asked this question three years ago, she would have answered without hesitation: Yes!
But after three years of systematic training, she realized that what she had to learn was far from enough.
Liu Qinmei also stared at the ceiling blankly, silent for a long time, for her, her debut seems to have become an obsession, but when this moment really comes, she is a little afraid.
At this moment, the door to the practice room was pushed open, and a pair of white canvas shoes greeted me.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he saw that he was lying on the ground, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you practicing lying on the ground one by one?"
The three girls blushed slightly, and hurriedly got up.
Huang Zilan asked timidly: "Boss, are we really going to participate in the debut of Creation 101?"
"Listen to you mean that you don't want to make your debut?" Li Mu quipped.
"No, no, no............." Huang Zilan shook her head again and again.
Li Mu waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I came here today mainly to talk to you about what you think of the entertainment industry!"
The three women looked at each other, all of them were at a loss, they had basically spent the past three years in the practice room, and they didn't know much about the entertainment industry than outsiders.
"Let's talk about this circle first, there are mainly such a few components: entertainment companies - media - stars - fans!" Li Mu drew a simple picture on the whiteboard.
"Whether it's an entertainment company or the media, if you want to make money, you can only make money through one medium, and that is celebrities, so what you are facing will be the whole world, and everyone's critical eyes will be on you!"
The three daughters' faces turned pale when they heard this, and even Huang Zilan, who had the most out-of-the-box personality, lost her former agility in her eyes.
Li Mu paused when he said this, and then said: "Don't think I'm alarmist, if you become popular in the future, it will only be even more severe than what I said!"
Huang Zilan's eyes suddenly rolled: "Then how did you face it?"
Hearing her say this, Shen Meng and Liu Qinmei were also shocked, yes, if you want to say red, Li Mu is already standing at the top of the front line, but it seems that he is not affected at all.
Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "Be yourself!"
"Be yourself?" the three girls were all at a loss.
"That's right, no matter how good the character is, it's just a label that others put on you, once you compromise and pretend to live in the eyes of others, you will definitely be very tired, and now it's the era of self-media, you will face more than just the paparazzi, everyone has the potential to become the eyes of the surveillance of you, no matter how well a person disguises, it is impossible to deceive everyone!"
The collapse of personality is a nightmare for any star, and there are many stars in the entire entertainment industry who have fallen in the same place.
But why are so many entertainment companies still rushing to the "transformation" of celebrities? To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than profit-driven.
A good person can even make a star who is not in the stream have the popularity of a first-line star overnight, how can an entertainment company not be impressed?
And for fans, they are immersed in a carefully woven dream, and once this dream is shattered, how much they liked you before, how much they will hate you afterwards, because people are always willing to live in dreams.
Li Mu is reluctant to weave such a dream, in fact, the stars who can really stay popular don't rely on personality!
Who can tell what Andy Lau's character is? What is Alan Tam's character design? and what is Chow Yun-fat's character design?
