Chapter 134: Gu Cancan's feelings
Gu Cancan brought the three of them to the kingdom of Wa.
This time, she didn't just come to buy Yamaha's vOCALOID software, the v family obviously got it as long as she had money, and more importantly, she wanted to try to contact a local entertainment company in the country to promote the girls' generation she created in the country.
It has always been the idol of the stick country and the Japanese country that is popular in China, and the Chinese artists who are popular in the Japanese country can be counted on two hands, Gu Cancan is not convinced, the girl's generation is good in appearance and talent, and she plans to let the three of the girl's generation be used as a stepping stone to enter the Japanese country.
In fact, the main thing in this visit is to contact the local entertainment media company in the country and sign the brokerage contract of the three of them.
Before coming to the Wa Kingdom, the Bright Times had already contacted several well-known entertainment and media companies in the Wa Kingdom, and some of them were very arrogant, but more of them released goodwill to the Bright Times and agreed to further contact and negotiate with the people of the Bright Times.
So this time, in addition to Gu Cancan, her assistant and a translator, there are also three young girls from Girls' Generation, as well as Cui Linian, the vice president in charge of external relations business, and Jiang Meiying, the head of the administration department.
Cui Linian also joined the bright era some time ago, and was in charge of foreign business in a well-known entertainment media company in China.
Wu Neixun learned that Gu Cancan was going to come to the Wa Kingdom, he was very excited, and he took the initiative to ask himself to pick up the airport, Gu Cancan felt her enthusiasm, and finally agreed, anyway, Wu Nei's family is also a local snake in the Wa Kingdom, and with Wu Neixun's company, he must not encounter some dirty things.
From Huaxia to Waguo, the plane is three hours, which is shorter than the time from the capital to Shanghai.
In the blink of an eye, I had already arrived in the country of Wa, and after completing the formalities and leaving the airport, I happened to see a sign holding up his name and a nearby Takeuchi smoke.
Two years have passed, Wu Neixun has not changed much, his appearance and height coincide with what he remembered, and even his hairstyle has not changed, Gu Cancan walked towards Wu Neixun with a smile.
Wu Neixun also recognized Gu Cancan at the first time, she was surprised that Gu Cancan ran two steps, stopped in front of Gu Cancan, and the smile on her face was about to overflow: "Cancanchan, long time no see." ”
"Hehe, Takeuchi-san, long time no see." Gu Cancan thought to himself about the title of Cancan sauce, but he was really not used to it.
She knows the calling habits of the Japanese people, and adding "sauce" after the name means cordial.
At this time, the boy who was called Watanabe's brother by Takeuchi came over and said a string of Chinese to Gu Cancan with a smile.
Gu Cancan only knew a very limited number of Chinese words, and basically did not understand the meaning of what this person said, and only felt as if he was greeting himself.
"Chancan-chan, he, he's a friend of mine, he was introducing himself just now, saying it's a pleasure to meet you." Wu Neixun also looked helpless and sorry, simply translated his words, and explained their relationship.
It turned out that this boy's name was Watanabe Kiichi, who was Takeuchi's childhood friend, and Takeuchi came to China as an exchange student the year before last, and became good friends with Gu Cancan, so Watanabe Kiichi also knew Gu Cancan. Later, Gu Cancan chose to participate in the supergirl draft, and walked into the entertainment industry step by step, and the whole person gradually became more and more famous.
Therefore, when he learned that Gu Cancan was coming to the Wa Kingdom, and Wu Neixun would go to pick up the plane, the dead face also came.
Gu Cancan didn't know the reason, she was very puzzled at the moment, what was the situation?
Gu Can felt a little dazed, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his heart.
In Gu Cancan's heart, because of the kindness that Wu Neixun released to her before, as well as the intention of taking the initiative to make friends, he regarded Wu Neixun as a friend and trusted her more, otherwise he would not have let Wu Neixun come to pick her up when he came to the country this time.
But Wu Neixun actually brought a man, which made Gu Cancan feel a little offended.
Wu Neixun hurriedly explained: "Chancan-chan, he was my childhood friend, because of me, she came into contact with your work and was deeply attracted. Brother Guiyi is also your fan, this time I came to pick up the airport, and he knew that he had to come along. ”
After listening to Wu Neixun's explanation, Gu Cancan knew in his heart, and nodded a little at Watanabe, who was smiling at him.
On the way to the hotel, Gu Cancan and Wu Neixun had a car, although Watanabe Guiichi looked a little ruffian, but he was still quite polite and a little gentlemanly, and he got into another car, and he didn't want to be in the same car as Gu Cancan.
In the car, Wu Neixun explained: "Cancan sauce, Brother Guiyi's family is also in the film and television media industry. ”
Gu Cancan was surprised: "Wouldn't it, such a coincidence?" ”
"Well, Brother Guiyi's family is the majority shareholder of Peace and Smile Film and Television Media Company."
Gu Cancan was really surprised at this time, the name Heping and Smile sounded very strange, more like a film and television company with a name was also within the connection of the bright era, Gu Cancan had plans to visit Heping and Smiling Film and Television Media Company, but he didn't expect to see the son of the major shareholder so early.
It's really a coincidence that there is no book.
Next, Gu Cancan knocked on the side to learn about the company Peace and Smile, which is similar to what she knew before, this is a singer-based media company, which is not particularly powerful in the country, but has a certain strength in the singer performance market.
The showbiz environment of the Wa Kingdom is very different from that of China.
If the biggest difference may be that the artists of the Japanese Kingdom are relatively poor......
Huaxia's super first-line stars, such as Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa, have a salary of nearly 100 million yuan for participating in movies, reaching a high of 80 million. The salaries of first-line films such as Liang Chaowei, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng have also reached 30 million, of course, they are all recognized as powerful. But the salaries of those small fresh meat traffic actresses, the movie salaries are also about 10 million, and the TV series salaries are more terrifying, around 50 million to 100 million, which is incredible.
And the country of Wa will take the more familiar Aragaki Yui to compare, her latest work, the price of the third season of "Code Bule" is only 1.7 million yen per episode, which is converted into less than 110,000 yuan, which is difficult to hire below the fourth or fifth line in China.
Yui Aragaki is at the peak of her career, and her salary is only 1.7 million yen per episode, and the price of the actor who is not as famous as her is even lower.
It should be noted that each Japanese drama is only about 11 episodes, that is to say, at the level of Yui Aragaki, the remuneration for filming a drama is only about 2 million yuan. In the Chinese entertainment industry, Internet celebrity leading actors must have this number.
In terms of data, in terms of salary, Chinese stars are properly unbeatable, even if we look at the world, probably only Hollywood can compete with us.
Moreover, compared with the cruelty and competition in the entertainment industry of the Japanese country and the stick country, my country not only has a lot of money, but also can deduct the map, touch the fish, and hype up the popularity from time to time, no wonder everyone wants to come to Huaxia to make a profit, more money and less cool and crooked!
In addition to the salary, professionalism is also very criticized.
At present, the Chinese entertainment industry can be said to be a pot of porridge, with a chaotic division of labor among artists, an imperfect system, unprofessional staff, and a lack of audience cognition.
In Gu Cancan's view, the lack of gradual development in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the influx of a large amount of capital in recent years, has led to extremely unhealthy development.
Now the domestic entertainment industry has not yet reached the crazy influx of hot money like in later generations, and heroes from all walks of life want to enter the entertainment industry to get a piece of the pie, and at that time, it will only be more chaotic.
waited until the time for Gu Cancan's rebirth, and those big local people realized that they couldn't support the ratings and box office by relying on traffic. When the TV station and filmmakers find out the real working methods and core needs of the works, and when the audience cultivates normal aesthetic taste and movie-watching attitude, the Chinese entertainment industry may be on the right track, and it is still too early to say this.
Gu Cancan came to the Wa Kingdom to see if he could learn from the experience of the Wa Kingdom.
Because the entertainment industry in the country is quite mature, you can get a glimpse of it from a certain Ivy......
In the Wa Kingdom, artists are roughly divided into several categories: actors, singers, funny artists (hosts and funny guests), idols (idols).
Chinese artists are more chaotic, there are funny artists + actors (a certain super Bo), there are idols + actors + singers (members of idol groups), and there are too many cross-border situations.
As with the stage of social development, the more detailed the division of labor, the higher the maturity, so it is obvious that the maturity of the Chinese entertainment industry is quite low.
The Japanese entertainment industry pays attention to character design, and if the character design collapses, the basic artist career will come to an end.
This can well explain why some artists make mistakes and it's over, and some artists make mistakes and the public acceptance is very high.
For example, Becky is a strong artist, she is not very talented and beautiful, she is popular because of her own image, and strives to have a positive image, so Becky's incident completely collapsed, and it is basically difficult to have a way back.
Gu Cancan used to admire Becky very much, really, she is really 360° without shortcomings, the kind that men, women and children will like. Becky was already a woman in the top5 before the accident, and her favorability was positive, but the character collapsed and fell too fast.
If someone pays attention to the entertainment industry in the Wa Kingdom, they will find that there are many middle-aged artists or funny artists in the Wa Kingdom, and being exposed as a cheating scumbag will not affect their careers, because these people's personalities are a little lustful and a little romantic, and they usually don't shy away from talking about cheating in marriage on the show, so this kind of peach news has a limited impact on them.
This is also a strange thing in Gu Cancan's opinion.
There are all kinds of Japanese artists, there are little white faces who rely on their wives to eat, there are those who like young girls, and negative characters are not easy to be popular if they don't have other strengths, but the risk is low, and they can't collapse.
How can I say this, although Gu Cancan doesn't approve of this very much, but from a certain point of view, it also shows that the entertainment industry of the Japanese country is very mature, and the attitude of the Japanese people towards artists is also very mature: artists are commodities, as long as they meet the expectations of the people, the people are willing to pay.
GU CANCAN WENT TO BUY VOCALOID, AND THINGS WENT SMOOTHLY.
At this stage, VOCALOID is actually not very mature, and Yamaha has not sold a few sets in total, and it is simply overjoyed that a media company from China came from afar to buy it.
Gu Cancan proposed that Bright Times should become the only agent in Huaxia, and Yamaha quickly agreed, although the minimum annual sales were stipulated, but it was only 50 sets, and it was a big deal that Bright Times paid the money himself.
Winning the only agent in Huaxia, the bright era can develop virtual singers without worries, and there is no need to worry about someone copying it at any time.
After this matter was done, Gu Cancan and others continued to have an in-depth understanding of the Japanese market.
Through understanding, Gu Cancan found that the hierarchy of the Japanese entertainment industry is really strict.
The hierarchy of the Japanese entertainment industry is unimaginable in our opinion. An idol is an idol, an actor is an actor, and a singer is a singer, and there is a definite social class among them, so that the status of an actor must be higher than that of an idol.
If you want to cross the line, most of them can only go from the first level to the next level, if the idol actor is too angry, he will shoot some photos with broken scales, and the photo can't save his career, so he will transform into a funny artist.
Of course, there are also those who cross the line upward, but they only rely on the old label to gain popularity to maintain their existing acting careers, and they basically cannot break through in terms of identity representation. Such as Takuya Kimura, even though he has frequently performed in film and television dramas in his life, his biggest identity recognition is still an idol.
This is a kind of rigidity in the entertainment industry of the Japanese Kingdom, and the age of three basically sees the old, of course, you can also understand it as standardization and socialization.
In the eyes of the Waguo Artists Office, the artists under them are commodities, and the audience is the consumers.
Therefore, in the Wa Kingdom, celebrities are very pure commodities, commodities that cater to the market, which creates a situation. Film and television media companies pursue standardized stars, and the audience's needs are standardized.
Of course, our domestic stars are also commodities, and the audience is also consumers, but our national stars are very lucky, because our entertainment industry is basically undisciplined and uniform, and people have very low requirements for them.
The problem caused by this is that celebrities have a loose attitude towards fans and have no spirit of service.
The value of our domestic stars depends on the popularity support, pay attention to popularity, not popularity, not the audience but popularity, and popularity can actually be faked, otherwise the word traffic star will not be produced.
Well, regarding popularity, about traffic, Gu Cancan has a lot of say, because she is very good at this. After thinking deeply at this moment, Gu Cancan felt a sense of shame......
In fact, we can carefully recall, for example, how the recent craze of a certain star was formed.
It's all routine, it's basically like this: Hey, who's who has suddenly become so popular all over his (her) news recently, who is this, why don't I know? Hurry up and check it on the Internet, oh oh, it turns out that he is so popular, this young man is like this.
Unconsciously, you feel that this person is really very hot, and then he (she) is really hot.
In such a situation, the celebrity's drama is filmed for advertisers, and the character design is made for investors, all of which are just bargaining chips for money.
Therefore, most of the stars have almost no clear images, and the audience almost relies on jokes and special effects subtitles.
In such an environment, the needs of stars and the needs of the audience are basically unequal, and the audience is too easy to fool.
