Chapter 136: A Sweet Burden
The world always sees only those who stand at the top, but not the bones at their feet. To become a star who is in the limelight, his feet may be the North Drifter full of blood and tears and the ignorant teenager who dreams of stardom.
To become a star, hard work, hard work and luck are all indispensable, so it seems that appearance is not the most important thing.
In today's China, the TV talent show has not yet been born, and there are only two ways to become a star, either to be admitted to an art school, or to join a record company or an acting company.
There are not many art colleges in Huaxia, and the admission rate, which is more exaggerated than the thousands of troops crowding the single-plank bridge, has blocked the vast majority of children with star dreams from the door of the entertainment industry. As a result, more and more young people are looking for a way out in major record companies and performing arts companies. And these poor children who regard singing and acting as their lifelong struggle have become the tools of these companies to collect money.
As a river, it is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, except for a few materials that are particularly superior, most of the trainees have to pay high training fees. Take a top record company like Shanghe as an example, the training cost for half a year is 150,000 yuan. If you are able to sign a contract after the training, half of the fee will be refunded to you. If you can't sign it, you can choose to try it out at another company or continue the training. Even with such a high cost, when recruiting students for the training course every three months, people still rush to sign up, and there are even many people who are willing to pay a high price for a seat. There is never a shortage of fresh blood in this circle, and there are always only a few who occupy the top position.
Shanghe is a responsible company and will carefully select suitable candidates to enter Aamp; amp; R department training, not suitable people, even if you are willing to pay more, will not be put in at will, of course, you have a deep relationship is naturally not difficult, but if you want to be able to sign, it depends on how hard your background is.
It is more difficult for large companies to enter, but some other small companies will not scruple so much, generally open training courses all year round, learn as you go, and the tuition fee is much cheaper, three to forty thousand a semester. I don't care about anything after I finish learning.,I'll just help you make a zuò singing sample and send it to a big company.,If you're lucky, you'll be favored by a big company.,If you're unlucky.,You'll lose another money.。 There are also some companies that will let you go to bars to sing or run in various places, in the name of accumulating performance experience, but in fact, they have to squeeze the surplus value out of these pink newcomers.
As for the unspoken rules that everyone cares about, of course there are, but they are not as exaggerated as everyone thinks. Large companies are relatively few, and many of them are actually voluntary, and there will be no persecution of high-ranking officials or rich people in China like in South Korea in the previous life.
Entering the company for training is only the first small step for you to embark on the road to stardom, the company will position you according to your image, idol singer, powerful singer or variety show, and then start training according to your direction. Every year, the people who come to the training are like carp crossing the river, but there are very few carp who can make their debut in the dragon gate.
When you get the approval of the company, the company will start selecting songs and recording records for you. This is the door to star for you. But whether you can really become famous or not is also destined for three points, and seven points depend on hard work.
When your record is recorded, the company will allocate a promotional budget for you. A portion of the budget is spent on advertising, art, and promotion. When the artists, designers, and advertising writers got to work, Aamp; amp; The date of the album's release will be decided by the personnel of the R department and the publicity department, the marketing department and the sales department.
The Distribution & PR Department (among other departments) will plan live performances and promotional tours, as well as arrange for artists to appear on radio and television. The label must determine whether the promotion of the artist is national, regional, or local (depending on how much the label is willing to spend).
As the album's release date approaches, all departments of the record label will work diligently to guarantee the media coverage and exposure of the artists. A record label is like a machine, where all the parts work together to make an artist's album a bestseller and ensure the success of everyone involved, such as the artist, the radio station, and the CD store.
As a newcomer during the publicity period, you not only have to grovel and need the support of your seniors, but also ask your grandfather to tell your grandmother to find more ways to announce and play songs.
Finally, when you are about to get ahead after all the hardships and feel that you are not far from fame and fortune, when you look back at the deed of sale that you signed 82 Kai or 91 Kai, you will begin to wonder what this qiē is all for in the end?
But even so, the incomparably glamorous profession of stardom still attracts countless people to moths to the fire, and Cheng Xiaoyu in his previous life also had a dream of stardom. But now that he was so close to that dream, he felt that it was no more than that. Because it is light, I don't know how to cherish it, which is the inferior nature of people.
The performance on the stage is really lackluster for someone with a high level of appreciation like Cheng Xiaoyu now. It's just that these young and young faces are still eye-catching, and their singing skills are also good, and most of them choose lyrical songs, and there is nothing to sing fast songs. Because fast singing requires more singing skills and table ability. Occasionally, there are singing and dancing, and that action is also very stiff and childish in Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, of course, this is also the reason why he has relatively high requirements. Anyway, some of the audience around him reacted very enthusiastically, which made Cheng Xiaoyu lament that today's entertainment industry is underdeveloped.
The four judges will not score everyone like in the exam, they will only write comments on their own forms, the particularly outstanding ones will be praised, the particularly bad ones will point out what is not good, and the average ones will say that they are good, and then tell you to work harder.
After all, this is not a TV audition, and there will not be many venomous judges. There are no kind and pure teachings, and some are just casual comments.
But the audience playing soy sauce was still very enthusiastic, and the applause never stopped. Luo Ping'an is also from the planning department, so he took up positions for several contemporaries he was familiar with in advance, and Ma Guoli and Qin Senmei both had places to sit. Compared with Cheng Xiaoyu, who was standing on the side and his legs were a little numb, he was much happier.
At this time, Su Yuxi and their combination came to the stage from the back door, Cheng Xiaoyu was also looking forward to looking at them one by one, there is nothing to say about their appearance, except for Su and Xu Ernu, the other four are also very beautiful, although they are not so out of the ordinary, but they are also a big section above average. The figure is also good. Xu Qinning is the tallest, but the flat shoes she wears, and the others who are a little shorter wear shoes with heels, so they all look about the same size, and they have the aura of the Nine Mousse Model Group in their previous life.
These girls are all high-quality idols selected nationwide, and they are all trainees who do not need to pay training fees, and they have also practiced for more than a year, and they showed a different temperament from other trainees as soon as they came on stage.
Six young and beautiful girls, all wearing white or pale pink slightly wide T-shirts, all blue hot pants, slender legs are eye-catching and reverie, Cheng Xiaoyu feels that the white legs make the air burn by the sight.
Especially Su Yuxi and Xu Qinning, Su Yuxi's legs are better than the proportions, and the waist, abdomen and hips outline the perfect golden ratio line, which is really redundant if you add one point, and if you subtract one point, it looks like a beautiful and flawless work of art.
And Xu Qinning is a typical model with a nine-headed body, her legs do not belong to the bamboo pole type, beautiful and round, just the right amount of plumpness, which adds to the fatal temptation. According to Cheng Xiaoyu's words, this is more than enough to play for a lifetime.
Cheng Xiaoyu sighed loudly, fantasizing that one day, two women, one black and one white, would stand in front of him. However, this kind of thing, Cheng Xiaoyu only dares to think about it in his head, if it can really be realized, let him live a short life of ten years, it is estimated that he will be willing.
The song sung by the six girls is called "Sweet", which is a song in their album that has been recorded, and the style belongs to the song that is fresh and cute and a little naughty. There are also some simple dance moves in the singing room, and Cheng Xiaoyu knows at a glance that Shanghe does not attach much importance to choreography, and the dance requirements for trainees are far from professional.
In Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, singing such songs is really a waste of the talent of these girls. Although Su Yuxi and their women's group are selected according to their appearance and figure, and their requirements for singing skills are not high, but when they listen to Cheng Xiaoyu's ears at the level of the sky, they still sing not badly, at least they do not belong to the incomplete pentatonic sound. The best singers were Su Yuxi and another girl with a red headband. However, at this time, the Huaxia women's group did not have a clear division of labor, and almost evenly distributed the length of a song, without dividing it according to singing skills, which made Cheng Xiaoyu very puzzled.
Listening to a song made Cheng Xiaoyu, who had endured the baptism of a Korean girl group full of regrets. This "Sweetness" is too cute and too sweet from the perspective of the style and lyrics, and with Su Yuxi's ungodly figure and appearance, there is a sense of disobedience.
Maybe it's because the planning department of Shanghe has seen too much of the cute girls of AKB and 48 in Japan, and thinks that girls can sell cuteness. Cheng Xiaoyu analyzed the current music environment, this song may not gain young fans, but it is far from being able to kill all ages. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know how Su Yuxi chose the other tracks of their album, but he could judge the general direction of the entire album based on this song.
This is too far away from Cheng Xiaoyu's imagination, these girls rely on their instincts and beauty to support the performance, and there is no strong expression, of course, this is also related to the artistic conception of the song. It's not just that, it's also a big problem with styling and makeup.
It's not too wrong to have a wide T-shirt with hot pants, but the T-shirt is also too big to show off the curves of the girl's upper body. You should be able to wear a pair of colorful football socks on your legs, and the bonus will be more. There were two hairstyles that were not crisp enough, too heavy and looked unlayered. Some of the makeup was too thick, some didn't wear it at all, well, yes, his sister didn't wear a little makeup.
Cheng Xiaoyu sighed, feeling that he had a long way to go.
