Chapter 208: Rule 1

"Teacher, what did you tell my little brother just now? Why don't I understand it?"

After Qi Chu left, Xue Ziqian still didn't suppress his curiosity and asked carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the one hand, due to curiosity, he wanted to know the true meaning of Qi Chu's conversation with Liang Dong. On the other hand, he had a hunch that what happened today might happen to him someday in the future.

Liang Dong turned his head and glanced at Xue Ziqian seriously.

Liang Dong's eyes are calm and quiet, like a bend of turquoise water, obviously there are no waves, but people can feel the undercurrent under the calm. Xue Ziqian was able to look at each other normally at first, but as time passed, he couldn't help but look away from those eyes.

"Okay, since you call me a teacher, there are some things I should tell you!"

Liang Dong didn't mind telling Xue Ziqian some secrets, maybe those secrets would break the best illusion in Xue Ziqian's heart.

"When the guests leave, we can feel free!" Liang Dong did not explain directly, but walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, stretching a lazy waist.

Seeing this situation, Xue Ziqian originally wanted to follow directly, his eyes shook slightly, he first walked to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water for Liang Dong, and then moved a small bench, and primary school students generally sat opposite Liang Dong.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Liang Dong's eyes, Xue Ziqian can always do the right thing at the right time. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's high emotional intelligence, no matter what, it's no coincidence that he was able to be reborn.

He took a sip of his glass before he continued, "Before I answer your question again, I want to ask you one more thing. Do you want to be a singer, or do you want to be a star?"

Xue Ziqian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Is there any difference?"

A singer is not a star, a star can also be a singer, and there should be no difference between the two.

Liang Dong waved his hand: "There is a difference, but there is no difference." If you want to be a pure singer, you have to be like me, focus on music, don't accept endorsements, don't accept commercial performances, and won't participate in TV series, movies, etc., and write your life with music. If you want to become a star, then, like everyone else, you have to go deep into the entertainment industry, form one network after another, and get more resources! Now do you understand the difference between a singer and a star?"

is still the same sentence, a singer must be a star, but a star is not necessarily a singer.

Singers are just a group of stars, stars can be actors, hosts, variety show guests, directors, and even Internet celebrities, all of which form a huge circle, commonly known as 'entertainment industry'.

If you want to become a star, it means jumping into the entertainment industry and competing with other stars for scarce resources. It's just that some of those resources are food, which can help celebrities grow, and some are bait, which can even be fatal after swallowing.

Xue Ziqian didn't know how to answer for a while, just being a singer? He was a little dissatisfied. Do you want to become a star? If it doesn't match the performance at the beginning, will it leave a bad impression in the teacher's mind?

Thinking about it for a while, he still chose to tell the truth: "Teacher, I haven't thought about this problem. ”

It seems that it has not been considered, but in fact the answer is given. If he just wants to be a singer, the moment he hears the question, he will have the answer. When he hesitated, the answer was already obvious.

Liang Dong sighed softly: "I don't know if your choice is right or wrong, so I won't comment, let alone refute your decision." As a teacher, the only thing I can do is to make you more aware of the rules in the circle!"

Liang Dong can protect a student singer, but he can't protect a singer who aspires to stardom. Everyone has the right to choose, and he will not participate decisively.

Although Xue Ziqian didn't know what Liang Dong meant, he couldn't help but have a premonition in his heart. After making his choice, it was as if he had lost his privileges. The premonition was so strong that he felt the urge to regret it.

It's a pity that Liang Dong didn't give him time to regret it, and when he heard that the teacher had already changed the topic, Xue Ziqian could only suppress the remorse in his heart and said softly: "Teacher, please speak!"

Liang Dong didn't know Xue Ziqian's thoughts, and after feeling that Xue Ziqian was ready, he said calmly: "You have lived in the entertainment industry for a while, and you should have a certain understanding of the so-called unspoken rules, and you know the most basic things without me saying more." If you want to know the most fundamental rules in the circle, you must first understand one thing, what is a celebrity?

"What is a star?" Xue Ziqian was stunned, isn't a star a star? What else could it be: "Teacher, I don't quite understand what you mean!"

Liang Dong smiled coldly: "Of course you don't understand, because no one will tell you that celebrities are actually tools!"

Regardless of Xue Ziqian's shocked expression, he continued: "In the eyes of entertainment companies, celebrities are cash cows and money-making tools that can bring them huge benefits. And in the eyes of others, celebrities are another tool, a tool that can make it easier for them to launder money!"

Xue Ziqian really didn't expect Liang Dong to say the view that stars are tools, which broke his illusions about stars. Aren't celebrities the center of public opinion and the darlings of capital? Why are celebrities just tools in the mouths of teachers?

Although he was puzzled, he did not question it, but followed Liang Dong's train of thought, and when he heard about money laundering, he nodded unconsciously: "In the circle, I have also heard some rumors. It's just that I didn't know exactly how to do it!"

Liang Dong is not surprised that Xue Ziqian knows the inside story, money laundering is already a well-known secret in the circle, but some people can participate, and some people just hear about it and get specious rumors.

"It's actually very simple, the stock market, share changes, antiques, so-called ultra-modern art, charity, etc., are all tools of money laundering. I don't know much about other aspects, the only thing I can explain is the entertainment industry. Since you want to be a star, I hope you can remember what I say to you next!"

Only by keeping in mind that when he is faced with those choices, he will not make the wrong choice.

Xue Ziqian's expression was awe-inspiring, which could make Liang Dongdu's face look serious, and the matter was estimated to be more serious than he imagined: "Teacher, please speak!"

"Do you know the reason why celebrities' worth has skyrocketed? Especially in the film and television industry, a good-looking newcomer can be worth more than 10 million, or even hundreds of millions? Is it worth the price themselves? Not only actors, singers, models, etc., but also appearance fees are skyrocketing. Although the main reason is economic growth, popular stars can bring huge returns, and capital is willing to spend a lot of money to invest. In addition to the economy, a more important reason is that black money is gathering more and more in the entertainment industry. ”

"If black money is to be transferred, it is bound to be laundered by some means, and celebrity worth is a good way. The external speculation of the value of celebrities has caused a situation where newcomers are worth hundreds of millions. After the hype is over, there will be black hands who will contact them and come up with some shoddy scripts to cooperate. Some newcomers know well and know the goals of the black hand, while some newcomers are kept in the dark. Why is it that the results of film and television works with large prices are so rough? They don't even need the lead actor to appear in person? It seems easy to earn hundreds of millions in a few days. Actually, the black hands don't expect the work to make money at all, they just transfer the money in this way. ”

"A TV series can transfer nearly 100 million, several TV series can transfer hundreds of millions, and the model can be infinitely circulated, which is the reason why the newcomer's value is getting higher and higher. Because the newcomer is so controlling, he doesn't dare to refuse easily!"
