“…… In a way, you've become the near-top of the pyramid, in other words, you've become a superstar who can shock the world, but ......"

"But what?"

"But you find out you're still a worker. You shoot films, hold concerts, shoot commercials, release albums, and publish photos...... Day and night, but what is the result? The money you earn in all aspects, not 20%-30% of the profit is tucked in the company's trouser pocket, which is still secondary, you also have to accept the company's management of you, and you have to fulfill every notice arranged by the company for you one by one, and the rest days are minimal, very few, and even all year round. Sometimes I can't close my eyes for several days in a row, just to catch up with the crew's progress. Xiaojun, celebrities are products produced by entertainment companies, although this doesn't sound very impressive, but it is true. But then again, the company's commission is also a matter of course, after all, the creation of an artist requires the company's heavy packaging and all-round promotion, and the funds required for these two points alone are beyond your affordability. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Jing looked at Xiao Chengjun a little proudly, he thought that his professional analysis and familiarity with the entertainment industry could get Xiao Chengjun an affirmative or adoring look, but he didn't know it......

"I understand what you said, artists recruited by a company through a series of forms such as drafts, competitions, and introductions all need the support of the company's funds, and the company does nothing more than to make money, I don't understand, but Bai Jing, you told me so much, what does it have to do with Chi Mo's fading out of the entertainment industry?" Xiao Chengjun asked.

It can be seen that Xiao Chengjun has some understanding of the so-called "rules of the game" in the entertainment industry, after all, any industry pays attention to an input-output ratio, which is nothing more than the difference in products, the products of media companies are media, the products of film and television companies are nothing more than technology, and the products of entertainment companies are nothing more than star artists...... Wait, it looks like I'm pulling away, drag it back and continue.

Compared with the rules of the game in the entertainment industry, Xiao Chengjun wants to know why Chi Mo quietly faded out of the entertainment industry in his golden age......

Faced with Xiao Chengjun's straightforward question, Bai Jing snapped his fingers and said, "Good question!" Say a thousand things and ten thousand, I just want to make a point, Chi Mo is a master who is not willing to be a star and is controlled by others, he is very ambitious, and his mind is even brighter, to be a star? Hehe, it's just Qu Cai. Do you know that after he retired from the entertainment industry, he immediately established his own company, Star Entertainment Co., Ltd., and his move was nothing more than to focus people's attention on "Blowing the Horn" and his personal attention to his company! This is pushing the boat along the trend of "Blowing the Horn", completely borrowing strength, to put it more bluntly, he is doing this to use the popularity of "Blowing the Horn" to promote his company! And do you know what acceptance speech he said when he walked to the podium at the award ceremony of the 17th Chinese Film Golden Wing Awards after winning the Best Supporting Actor award? ”

Xiao Chengjun gave an interested look back.

"He was holding the golden-winged trophy in his hand and said, 'When I go back, I'm going to put this trophy in the most conspicuous place in my company office, and every time I see it, it makes me very motivated, thank you.'" In other words, while showing how important the award is to him, he also indirectly advertised his company very implicitly. Did you know that this awards ceremony is a star-studded event? Not to mention how many celebrities and big names were on the scene, let's just say that there were many media reporters present, such as local TV stations, radio stations, newspaper media, and online media...... In addition, this award ceremony is still CCTV's 6 sets of live broadcast, CCTV! How many people pay attention to this award ceremony don't need me to say more, in addition to winning the award, Chi Mo didn't spend a penny to advertise his company, do you say Chi Mo is not a good person?! ”

After that, Bai Jing picked up the water cup on the table and drank the remaining warm water in the cup, leaving no half drop.

At the moment, Xiao Chengjun was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but before he could ease up, at this moment, with a "bang", Zhang Shaoyu's belated footsteps stopped in front of his and Bai Jing's table, and gasped and said, "Let's go, the car is outside the door." ”

……

Although the winter in Beijing is a bit cold, the good thing is that the weather today is clear and sunny.

In a café called "Violet" on the first floor of Xidan Joy City, Chi Mo is sitting by the window with two men.

Far from the extravagant retro European style, the décor is minimalist, with red brick walls, warm grey cement polished floors, wood-colored round coffee tables, and even the ceiling without any ceiling treatment. But even so, everyone is the owner of this shop to cut corners and save costs, if you come carefully, it is not difficult to find that the furnishings here really took a lot of work.

The fabric model shelves in the window, the black walnut lighting 86 switches, the intricate arrangement of industrial wrought iron water pipe wall lamps on the wall, the European-style wrought iron round antique vanity mirror, the American-style country-French romantic neo-classical carved retro wardrobe, etc., all reflect the unique design concept and unique aesthetics of the owner of this store.

This is called Jane Decoration, Heavy Decoration!

Bathed in the sunlight outside the window, the handsome face of the extraordinary ink in the window is illuminated by the sunlight, the edges and corners are more distinct, the eye sockets are deeper, and the brightened places are glowing with warm bright yellow.

Sculpture! Definitely a work of art by Michelangelo!

Before Chi Mo could speak, the person opposite seemed to be unable to hold his breath first.

"Chi Dong, why do you have time to come here today? If I'm not mistaken, it seems that there are no important customers to meet here today. A man wearing a very exaggerated and avant-garde black gothic coat, with a ponytail on his head and black rivets the size of a thumb nail on his earlobe, was sitting opposite Chi Mo, stirring the cappuccino in the cup in his hand leisurely, and said calmly to Chi Mo.

If you want to say that a big man wears an exaggerated trendy dress with big earrings, he actually wears pigtails, how strange this person's outfit is!

Although it is in Beijing, located near Xidan, which is more prosperous in Beijing, there are relatively a lot of fashionable hipsters in strange costumes, but there are really few people dressed like this on this street, which can be described as very small.

Could it be that this person's profession has something to do with makeup and styling? That's right! This person is the gold medal image consultant of Xingyao Entertainment Group, and also a national first-class makeup stylist, known as Shang Yong, known as the "gold medal makeup artist", he is a rare talent that Chi Mo spent a lot of money to dig from CCTV, responsible for the styling design and image creation of many first-line stars of Xingyao, in addition, Shang Yong also founded his own makeup brand - VK.

In the face of such a heavyweight, Chi Mo just handed over a very indifferent look, and said, "You just eat these?" ”
