Chapter Seventy-Six: I Shouldn't Be a "Star"

In the morning, the conference room. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

All thirteen people in the studio are here.

"Arrived, then I'll talk about it!" Jiang Xia said after watching everyone sit down.

The others didn't know what Jiang Xia was going to say when he called them over, You Fangfei just knew that Jiang Xia didn't want to sign the contract, why didn't he want to sign it, but he didn't understand.

"Just now, Sister Fang Fei asked me to sign a contract, an artist contract in our studio. I didn't sign it, and I was approached once before, and I didn't sign either. Let me tell you why. Jiang Xia sat there and said plainly.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xia, waiting for him to give a reason.

"It's not that I don't want to sign an artist contract, but I want to talk about how this artist contract should be signed. First of all, I don't accept any commercial gigs, and secondly, I don't accept any interviews. Again, I don't go to any shows, I don't participate in any interviews. ”

Jiang Xia said his decision.

The whole room was petrified.

"I didn't hear clearly, what did you just say?" You Fangfei asked.

Gong Shan asked, "Are you serious?"

"Are you kidding?" said Zhang Pengpeng's eyes widened.

Jiang Xia took in everyone's expressions and smiled, "I'm surprised, right? Yesterday's incident taught me a lesson, I don't understand the entertainment industry, I really don't understand. I didn't want to make that much effort to figure it out, so I thought of the easiest way to save effort. ”

", if you don't participate in commercial performances, how can you make money? If you don't accept any interviews, how can you become famous? If you don't participate in any program interviews, are you kidding me? What are you doing? Are you making a star?" You Fangfei said angrily.

Jiang Xia smiled: "Then what if I'm not a star? I don't hype, I don't cooperate with the media, but my works are good enough, I don't believe that good works will be buried." ”

"Just kidding, I'm afraid of deep alleys with the smell of wine, this idea, if you don't hype, if you don't increase your fame, how can you make money? Don't participate in commercial performances? Just point to commercial performances to make money, if you don't make money, why are you still an artist and a star?"

You Fangfei seemed to see a joke, and seemed to be angry with Jiang Xia.

"This is the gap between our two views, I can be an artist, I can make my debut. But I don't want to be a star in the broadest sense of the word.

In this year, exposure represents everything, and people who don't know anything can be hyped up as stars. People who don't have acting skills can make money as first-line stars and have the exposure of first-line stars. People who are sensational can become famous overnight, but those who really work hard are unknown.

This kind of society is pathological, I can't change the society, then I can only insist on being myself. I won't accept everything that ordinary celebrities use to become famous, I don't understand the entertainment industry, so I'll use my own methods, my stupid methods to break into the entertainment industry.

I don't believe that in this entertainment industry, without publicity and hype, my works will be unpopular.

I firmly believe that good works are always good works, even if I don't participate in any interviews or performances, they will still shine as they deserve.

I firmly believe that my work has reached a level of influence that even if I don't give interviews, the media will rush to report it.

I firmly believe that I am not a star, just by relying on the influence of my works, I am also a star!"

When Jiang Xia said this, he was not impassioned, he was not enthusiastic, he was still so plain, as if he was stating a fact.

He said it firmly, so that You Fangfei, who was angry before, fell silent.

In the current entertainment industry, there are really few people who settle down to make works. How did many celebrities become famous? Participate in one or two dramas casually, and then hang the name of a model or actor, show their faces wildly in various programs, mix their faces with familiarity, add a little hype, and break the news, and they will become famous inexplicably.

Before the celebrity list came out, a person who had just debuted for two or three years had no representative works. is purely familiar with mixed faces, and there are more fans than first-line stars.

Is this normal? It's abnormal, it's very abnormal.

The entertainment industry is already impetuous, but now it is even more impetuous, it seems that a casual person can become famous after packaging, whether it is notoriety or good name, with attention, he can proudly say that he is a big star.

This is the status quo of today's entertainment industry, everyone has such an understanding, as long as you are famous, you can make money. Circle money, crazy circle money, become famous, all kinds of means come out, just to become famous.

Jiang Xia was disgusted yesterday, and that girl wanted to become famous, so she was disgusted by the way. Can you say that she is wrong? A backup dancer with 10,000 followers, now with more than 200,000 followers, it's very simple to make money next.

After the celebrity list was opened, it had a very negative impact on the star-making of major companies, but the impact was not very large, but it took a longer time. The work that could be completed in two years will drag on to four or five years, and many stars can still be created after all.

If Jiang Xia takes this path, he believes that with the help of You Fangfei and the exposure of several of his identities, as long as he participates in a few interviews and buys some media, as long as the quality of his works can keep up, it is almost certain that he will enter the third-tier star in a year.

But he didn't want to do this, after arguing with You Fangfei about the route of Gong Shan's new album that day, he made up his mind not to publicize it, not to cooperate with the media, and to rely on simple works to see if he could become famous.

"Your idea is very good, but can you make money by doing this?" asked You Fangfei.

Not only You Fangfei thinks so, but the rest of the studio also thinks so. Jiang Xia, it's true that you want your work to be king, but if you don't participate in commercial performances and don't accept media interviews, when will you become famous?

No matter how plain Jiang Xia said and how firm his determination is, he can't avoid this problem, how do you make money?

Jiang Xia asked rhetorically: "Why am I making money? Do you think I'm short of money?"

Hearing Jiang Xia's words, the rest of the studio rolled their eyes at the same time. Can you think of the feeling of rolling your eyes together among the twelve people? Among them, there is a strong man like Wang Ke, who is more than 1.9 meters tall.

It's too beautiful for me to look at!

After Jiang Xia asked rhetorically, they remembered that it seemed that Jiang Xia's child had never been short of money. As a local tyrant in the studio, he bought a car of 400,000 yuan, took it out without blinking, injected capital into the studio, 1 million, and turned around in minutes.

Talking to such a tyrant to make money, it seems a little wrong?

"Okay, I admit that you have money, but do you know how much money you can make after becoming famous? Don't say anything else, this year will pass soon, do you know how much Shanshan has earned in a year? Uncle Lang, tell him!"

"Forty-two million! This is still the result of not participating in many commercial performances in the second half of the year!" Lang Qing said.

You Fangfei continued: "Your family is very rich, we all know this, but if you want to come up with more than 40 million at once, I'm afraid it's impossible, right? This is still this year, next year, Shanshan can quadruple this price, and 100 million can't be beaten." Do you think you're rich, you're that rich?"

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Why do I want so much money? Money is a good thing, I know, but I don't deliberately pursue it." I have enough money to live the life I want, so why should I live a life I don't want to make money?"

Jiang Xia's reason was released, and everyone was silent again. It makes sense that there are two kinds of rich people, one is still working hard and wants to make more money, and the other is living the life they want and enjoying life.

The mentality of most people in the studio is in the first type, when they have money, they want to make more money and make money. Even Gongshan is like this, only Jiangxia does not have this mentality.

Maybe it has something to do with his experience in his previous life, he didn't have so much money in his previous life, he had so much money all of a sudden, he didn't know how to spend it, he was already better than his previous life, and he was very satisfied.

may also be related to his experience in this life, his family has always been very rich, he has never pursued anything, and he has never wanted to make a lot of money.

is satisfied, but doesn't want to make a lot of money, why do you want to be a star you don't want to be, like Gong Shan, busy catching up with announcements every day, and you can't be idle for a year or two.

"No, you don't want to make money, why do you want to be an artist and a star?" You Fangfei asked puzzled.

"I didn't say I didn't want to make money, I just didn't want to make money in a way I didn't like. I said that I am not a star, I am not as exposed to the light of the camera as a star, I just want to get some works out, so I need to be an artist. Jiang Xia said seriously.

"Well, I can't convince you. Then you don't want me as an agent when you do this?" You Fangfei said helplessly.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "That's right, I called everyone here, just to say such a proposal." I'm not a star, I don't sign an ordinary contract, I sign an exclusive contract. My work hangs in Gongshan Studio, but the profits earned by Gongshan Studio need to be shared with me, and I want half of it. I only need half of the net profit, if my work loses money, how much money I lose, how much money I pay to make up for it. How?"

"I've never seen you sign a contract like this!" You Fangfei said.

Jiang Xia shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now you see it!"

You Fangfei was so angry that she wanted to slap the table, but Gong Shan grabbed her. Lang Qing opened his mouth and asked: "Then after your work is handed over to the studio, the studio will promote your work, do you agree or not?"

"Promise!" Jiang Xia nodded, "My work, you can promote it however you want." But I myself will not cooperate with the publicity, what I said above is limited to me, not limited to my works. However, it's better not to hype, I'm annoyed with unfounded hype. ”

"You mean, you make a work in the studio, and then leave it to the studio to help you run it, and you don't care how you run your work. Oh, except for the hype. You don't come forward, you don't give interviews, you don't accept commercial performances. Then the profit from the work will be split in half with you, and if the work loses, you will lose all of it, right?" You Fangfei asked after calming down.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "That's right, that's the case." The premise is that this is limited to musical compositions. If it's a film or television work, then we have to talk about it separately, how about it?"

"What do you think? It's a question for the whole studio! You Fangfei said.

"If I don't promise you, won't I sign a contract and won't produce a work?" asked Gong Shan, raising his hand.
