Chapter 123: Seemingly Glamorous (Part II)
"That's right, it's the entertainment industry. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Even the most serious person will have a gossip mentality, isn't it interesting to uncover the glamorous surface of the star and reveal the other side?" Qi Chu patted his palms lightly and asked interestingly.
People are really interested in the entertainment industry, in the income of the stars, in the private lives of the stars, in the rules of the circle, in insider trading, etc., in every aspect.
Every time there is a shady scene, it may be a disaster for insiders, but for the public, it is more like a national carnival.
"The public does care about the celebrities' every move, but what does this have to do with the red and blue sides?" Liang Dong asked, still not understanding what Qi Chu meant.
The red and blue sides want to grasp each other's public opinion, however, the entertainment industry is only a component of public opinion, not even the main part. In the eyes of those in power, the entertainment industry is nothing more than an industry, and it seems insignificant compared to the whole country.
Of course, it matters, since the public cares so much about entertainment news, then the red and blue sides will increase their control over the entertainment industry. To put it bluntly, it is an industry composed of a group of celebrities, and if you want to master the entertainment industry, you must first master the stars. How to master the star, in fact, is very simple, use money!"
At this moment, the corners of Qi Chu's mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of a smile that didn't know whether it was mockery or coldness.
"No matter how nice it sounds, no matter how it is promoted, most celebrities enter the entertainment industry with only one fundamental idea: to make money. Speaking of this, he glanced at Liang Dong slightly: "Maybe some people are not for money, their ideas are more pure." For most celebrities, this industry can make money and make a lot of money, which is the main reason why they are willing to become stars. Who doesn't know how muddy this circle is, who doesn't know that the rules are rampant here, and they are still willing to get involved, is it just for fame and ideals?"
Liang Dong was silent, even if he was like him, part of the reason for entering the entertainment industry was for money.
Think about it, if you can't make money by becoming a singer, and you don't have status as a star, there will still be an era of national entertainment, and countless boys and girls will compete to enter the grand occasion of the entertainment industry?
When there is a conflict between the idea and the reality, it is never the idea that persists until the end.
"Celebrities are in it for money, entertainment companies are also in it for money, and in order to make money, they don't mind swaying from side to side and being a wall-to-wall grass. You asked me why I was hiding in the hospital, and I would rather delay the time than be discharged early, so as not to offend the red side. As for why Wenjie would rather harm herself than sing, it is very simple, she has an endorsement from the blue side! As long as she sings a red song, not only will the endorsement be canceled, but she will also have to pay a lot of liquidated damages. Those liquidated damages, it is estimated that she can't afford to pay them!" Qi Chu analyzed a little.
Liang Dong nodded silently: "After all, this is not a simple world, and every brand has opponents around it. If you use a spokesperson with obvious tendencies, you will become the opponent's handle, and the opponent can use this handle to make the opponent hurt!"
Qi Chu glanced at it appreciatively: "That's right, celebrities can touch a lot of things, they can have a chaotic private life, they can touch contraband, and it doesn't matter if they even break the law." Anyway, there is the power to help them smooth it out, and the only thing that cannot be touched is the position. Once you have decided on your position, there is no turning back!"
Qi Chu couldn't say it clearly, but Liang Dong's heart became clearer and clearer.
Speaking of which, it is still a matter of position. If you want to make money on both sides, you can't get the color in advance, otherwise, they will automatically lose a huge market.
"I don't know if Wenjie told you that she has recently been in contact with Mi Guo Entertainment Company and wants to set up her own studio. is ready to dig out new people and recommend them to domestic and Mi Entertainment companies, in this case, she is really not suitable to express her position!" Qi Chu said.
Shang Wenjie is definitely the most difficult one among several groups of singers, her career focus is not in China, and it is impossible to make a positive statement like Sha Yongliang. A song is simple, but she can't afford that price. Compared with the blow in her career, she would rather use self-harm to avoid her choice.
"The same is true for Chen Fanyu, it's not that they don't dare to go abroad, but they can't go abroad. Bai Xuelian needs to use the blue power to promote her internationalization, Chen Fanyu is too close, and Bai Xuelian will be affected!" Qi Chu said the price paid by the rain combination.
"I still don't understand, even if you master the entertainment industry, can you say that the entertainment industry can destroy the foundation of a country?" Liang Dong still can't figure it out, some people are willing to be blue, some people are willing to paint bright red, even if there are two forces competing in the circle, what's the point?
The entertainment industry is just an industry, not even a fundamental industry, even if it destroys the entertainment industry, it is impossible to destroy a country.
Qi Chu nodded: "You are right, the entertainment industry is indeed insignificant compared to the power of the country." However, destroying the entertainment industry can destroy a country's moral bottom line! Have you found out? Every time the entertainment industry breaks out, does the domestic moral bottom line lower a little? Celebrities can't control their belts, and more and more ordinary people can't control their belts. Celebrities are drunk and dream of dying, the public is also starting to get drunk and dream of dying, celebrities are breaking the law, is the public less and less concerned about similar things? Isn't this step by step lowering the bottom line of morality?"
"Moral bottom line!"
Liang Dong's body shook, and he seemed to understand the intention of that force. They are not trying to destroy the entertainment industry, but to destroy the moral foundations of a country. When the moral ground line is getting lower and lower, it will be strange if anything happens in the country.
Qi Chu smiled coldly: "Also, how many times have major events encountered in China, there are always major events in the entertainment industry." Those events obscured the glory that originally belonged to the martyrs, Victory Day, National Day, Army Day, and major scientific and technological breakthroughs in the country, these should be moments of national celebration, but they were stolen from the limelight by the private affairs of a certain star, is this normal?"
Liang Dong recalled for a moment, he really didn't see national-level news in the normal media, and whenever there was national-level news, he would always be snatched away by events in the entertainment industry. He didn't care about it at first, but now when he heard Qi Chu's explanation, he was in a cold sweat. Behind it, it turns out that there is such a complicated reason.
"Now that we know, the upper echelons may not be clear, why didn't they make a move?" After a while, Liang Dong asked bitterly.
Qi Chu glanced at Liang Dong: "Why do you want to make a move? I have already said just now that public opinion is a weapon, and this weapon can hurt people and kill the enemy! Can blue use the entertainment circle, but red can not use the entertainment circle? Under the cover of entertainment news, the state has reported how many important news that have affected countless people and how many events have determined the direction of history. It's just that the public doesn't know, whether it's blue or red, the ignorant people are the best people, why bother to let them be too sober!"
After a pause, he continued: "So it's not that the red song can't be sung, but that you have to watch the chorus, Mango Station rashly announced the red song special, which is equivalent to pit us once." We seem to be beautiful, but in fact we are just chess pieces, and before we reach a certain height, we will only ask for trouble if we rashly show favor to one side!"
"Is this the catastrophe that everyone wants to get through? The program team has indeed dug a big hole for us!" Liang Dong sighed, and it was only at this moment that he could really understand the panic of several groups of singers at that time.
There was the Lin family standing behind him, it didn't matter what he did, anyway, the Lin family's strength was enough to shelter him. Unlike other singers, they either have no power behind them, or their power is limited, and if they rashly show their positions, it is very likely that they will be affected. They don't even have a chance to choose until they have grown to a certain extent.
"Although the program team has cheated a little, it is still a little conscientious, and it has given us some compensation! On New Year's Day, I have a concert in the capital, do you want to join in the fun?" Qi Chu did not say what the specific compensation was, but suddenly talked about the concert.
"Concerts? Haven't you had a concert lately?"
Holding a concert is not a simple matter, you have to greet the local government, relevant units, rent a venue, get a certificate, arrange the background, dance, band, etc., things are very cumbersome, and you can't finish it in a few months.
If you want to start a concert, you have to prepare at least three months in advance, and now there is only a little more than a month to go, does Qi Chu have time to complete the procedure?
Qi Chu didn't answer, just smiled inexplicably.
This smile made Liang Dong understand that the concert should be related to the compensation of Mango Channel.
"If I have time, I don't mind working with my little brother once!"
He also wanted to ask Qi Chu for help, so naturally he would not refuse the invitation.
"Interesting, let's just say it, see you when the time comes!" Qi Chu said happily, with Liang Dong's participation, the attraction of the concert can be added to another layer.
"Okay, yes, but before that, my recording studio will trouble you a lot!" Liang Dong said with a smile.
No matter what the inside story is, life has to go on. Anyway, the choice has been made, so it is better to move on.
"I said, why did you come here all of a sudden, you still have something to ask me for help!" Qi Chu said angrily, and did not refuse Liang Dong's request.
