"What, what you want to say has something to do with fans?"

Although Li Zhina asked William Wang to speak, he didn't know what William Wang wanted to say, so he was also a little curious. However, when the topic came to this, he seemed to understand something.

"Our company doesn't have a relationship prohibition clause in the contract with them, and I don't expect the children of our company to be scolded if they fall in love......"

"Well, that's what I thought before." William Wang smiled, "Everyone is freer and good for everyone, but yesterday I understood some truths......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the girls sitting on the sofa in front of him waiting for Wang William's lecture.

"You have to figure out first what you are. This is very important when you are on the cusp of returning. William Wang said seriously.

"What is it...... 1，2，3…… Hello seniors, we are Dreamcatcher. ”

Irene's way of complaining was very chic, and the other girls sitting next to her instinctively greeted each other.

It can be seen that they are really skilled.

William Wang was stunned for a moment and smiled.

"That's right! You're a Dreamcatcher, you're an idol, right? ”

"Of course, isn't this nonsense!" Li Zhina followed up and complained.

"So idol...... What is the difference between actors and singers? William Wang asked seriously.

Be quiet.

"It's all like and appreciate, but why are you idols, not actors, not ...... Something else, whatever. William Wang added, asking.

"Because we're all singing and dancing......" Irene thought for a moment and answered.

That's the answer she can think of.

She should be considered an actress now, right? I've acted in two movies in Hollywood!

But...... Why does it still feel like idol?

What's the difference?

"Nope." William Wang shook his head, "Why aren't the singers who sing and dance?" ”

"Singer...... We're singers too! ”

"No, you're idols." William Wang corrected Irene.

It seems like it's a bit of a detour.

The whole room, including Kim Hyung-seok, who was interrupted because the recording was interrupted, and he didn't leave or stay, was all wrapped in.

Only one person seemed to understand.

"I see what you're talking about." Zheng Duohui answered next to him, "It's just that you are talking to the children now, is it appropriate?" How old are they! Only Hyomin and Irene are 20 years old......"

"It's good for anyone to understand what they are and what they want early." William Wang shook his head at Zheng Duohui and looked at the group of girls again, "Idol is not a singer, because idol doesn't need singing skills." ”

As he spoke, William Wang pointed to Kim Hyun-ah, Park Hyo-min and Irene.

The three eldest sisters, second sisters, and third sisters who were pointed out all blushed.

"Idols aren't dancers either, because you don't dance very well."

This time, it was referred to as IU and Kei.

"You don't have to be particularly good at acting, so you're not an actor."

Bae Suzhi was also shot.

"You don't even have to be pretty, because there are so many beautiful people, you don't have to be you." William Wang glanced at it and felt that this sentence was difficult to give an example in the company, so he didn't refer to people.

But the truth of this sentence is there.

Several of the girls nodded.

"So as an idol, why do you have so many fans supporting you?" William Wang seriously raised a question. "What do they like about you?"

"Maybe I think Kei is cute...... "Irene was already dizzy, but still trying to sort out the order, pointing at Kei, "Maybe it's just the good Hyuna and Hyomin who like to dance, or the good IU who sings......"

"Then do you think Hyuna is the best at dancing? Is IU the best at singing? William asked Irene rhetorically.

"Better ......"

When this kind of thing is said in the most word, everyone is empty-minded.

"Is she dancing as good as Park Jin-young?" William Wang asked rhetorically.

A few girls laughed.

"How can that be compared to ......" Kim Hyun-ah is still a little knotted about leaving onderGirls, but she is also very frank when she talks about it.

If you can't compare, you can't compare.

"That's right! Then why do you like you because you dance so well? William Wang asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

"Sometimes it doesn't make sense to like someone." William Wang laughed, "For example, I suddenly thought, wow, Kei's coquettish appearance is so cute, I really want to have a sister or girlfriend like this!" Well, I'll decide I'm a fan of hers...... It has nothing to do with whether or not there is anyone cuter than Kei. ”

"Well, yes! And that's kind of a point! Irene seemed to grasp a bit of a lifeline, "We always have something to like, that's why we are liked!" ”

"Well, a lot of people will like you guys a lot, and then, spend money." William Wang nodded, "Then which fans are willing to spend money on you?" ”

"Fans should be willing......" Irene didn't quite understand the reason for the question.

"Are you sure? There are almost 200,000 people in your official fan club. William Wang smiled, "There are also fan support clubs that you can join without paying money, which claims to have 500,000 people, how much can your album sell?" Can 200,000 be sold? ”

"This ......," Irene was a little embarrassed by the rhetorical question, "most people don't use CD players to listen to songs anymore!" Album sales are definitely going to be less......"

"But it still sells 100,000 copies, or more." William Wang corrected, "In other words, there are many people who will buy your albums, even if they don't buy them for themselves." ”

"Well, some people even buy a lot of them at once and give them to a coffee shop or convenience store so they can play our ......songs," Park Hyo-min nodded, they all knew about it.

"Yes! Have you ever wondered why? William Wang continued to ask, "They buy a lot of your albums, maybe it may be so that you can make more money, but they also go to the TV station to hit the charts, can you earn that money?" But they still spent it without regrets, why? Hungry? ”

"This ...... I don't know. Irene was stunned.

How is it possible to know......

"Boss, they haven't lived through the era of the HOT and Crystal Boy wars, so they can't understand this." Zheng Duohui, who was next to him, interjected again.

"I don't understand, so I'm going to tell them." William Wang actually didn't experience the era that Zheng Duohui said, at that time, he was in the United States! "Because for fans, idol is a kind of belief and a kind of dependence."

"I said, don't talk about it like some organizations......" Li Zhi, who was next to him, couldn't listen to it anymore.

Sure enough, the ability of the mouth cannon is not as good as that of a god like William Wang! One by one, it can also be raised to this height......

"The essence is like this, why can't it be said." William Wang shook his head, "Idol may be a role model I want to live in, and it may be what my imagined other half will look like...... Wait, so, what is idol? It's just a place there, a character, a character who is needed. ”

"Personality?" Irene showed up just in time to cheer up.

"Yes, the persona." William Wang nodded, "Who is Irene from Dreamcatcher?" That's not you Bae Joo-hyun, that's a so-called No. 1 god, and she can go to Hollywood movies to be an action actress, a big beauty with a cold face, who will occasionally be coquettish and like to pick her hair...... Wait, wait, that's the sum of all the settings that the company put on you when you debuted and after that, and you're an actor who plays this persona. As for the fans, they are the viewers who spend money to buy tickets for the character you play. Those who don't spend money are not fans, at most, they are spectators. ”

After speaking, William Wang pointed to the girls present.

"And you're all actors, playing the setting that the fans and the audience are willing to spend money on. It's just that most of you may be acting now on your own, performing in your true colors, so you don't realize it. ”

"Since it's all true performances, does it make sense to say such things?" Irene looked a little puzzled.

Of course, it's more about the praise.

"Absolutely." William Wang nodded, "One day, you will change, for example, ten years later, Kei you will also be 26 years old, at that time, do you still have to pretend to be cute?" ”

"That ......" Kei was stunned for a moment, a little unable to answer.

"It's when you become Zheng Duohui like this, I want you to be coquettish......"

"Boss, do you think I won't beat you?" Zheng Duohui was furious.

The girls all laughed.

But they all seem to understand what William Wang means.

"You'll grow up, and your fans will grow old with you." William Wang said with a smile, "But there are some things that will not change, that is, those things that can make them like you and are willing to spend money for you." Those things are probably the things you performed in your original colors...... Because that's where you set it up right now. That's what you're doing as idols. You can change careers to become singers, dancers, and actors in the future...... But before that, you are idols, you carry some expectations and even beliefs of many people, you can't be sorry for them, because they will spend money for you, they will quarrel with people who don't like you on the Internet for you, even if you know that you are wrong, you still believe in your own rightness...... You have to understand that no one is really stupid, they are stupid just because they believe that you will not let them down. ”

"Not all fans are like this......"

"If you can't do this, most of the fans won't be willing to spend money for you." William Wang shook his head, "Fans who won't spend money for you...... What are you going to do? If you are all this kind of fan, where will the company get the money for you to prepare for your return! ”

"But it's too tiring to live like others." Irene uttered something that was grossly inappropriate for her age.

"But they gave you a stage, so that the company, the TV station, and those commercial occasions outside can invite you to sing and dance." William Wang shook his head seriously, "They are the ones who have fed you, so that you can live, and even one day in the future you can take a helicopter, a yacht, and live in a villa...... All this money they gave you. You don't have to earn this money, but as long as you are still an idol one day, then I'm sorry, the way the fans want is the way you have to show, this is professionalism. ”

"Boss, your words are too heavy." Zheng Duohui glanced at several children.

Park Hyo-min, Kim Hyun-ah, and the older ones are fine, but the younger ones are obviously frightened.

But I just think it's hard to lose weight, as for being said to be such a serious sin?

"You can sing different songs, dance different dances, play various roles, and your fans will support you, even if your songs are not the best, your dancing is not the best, and the play is even a mess." William Wang doesn't seem to mind that these girls are afraid, he just wants to make things more serious: "As long as you are you, your fans will support you, just like "Inception", which is about to be released in China, I know that someone in Irene's fan forum is organizing everyone to go to the private room to watch the movie...... But you have to understand that you are not you, not you as a living person, but Irene of Dreamcatcher, and you are just the perfect person to play the role. Unless you, and Li Zhi, both of you decide to destroy that character, even if you quit the circle, the role you play will always exist in the minds of your fans. ”

"So, as an idol, it doesn't matter if you play a good role or anything else?" Li Zhina was speechless beside him. "Then why do we go to such great lengths to ask them to sing?"

"A good song and a good stage are the capital of your fans when they show off to others, which will make more people like you and make those who like you more determined." William Wang looked serious, "Life is already so cruel, who wants to be on the side of the loser?" ”

"It's like watching football, except for the national team, when you watch European teams, no one likes a weak team." Kim Hyung-seok, who had been silent beside him, finally interjected. "You have to be good enough for someone to find out what you're good about and like you, and you're always going to be good enough to keep that good in front of your fans."

It can be heard that he completely agrees with William Wang's point of view.

"You can't get fat, you can't fall in love, you can't ......" Irene's words seemed a little depressed, "What's the point of living!" ”

The topic finally returned to the starting point of today's conversation.

"You can get fat, you can fall in love, but don't be seen by fans, don't be photographed by the media." William Wang replied seriously, "But do you promise that you will be able to do it?" When you're fat, walk down the street and see someone next to you filming you...... Well, it's still the age of smartphones, and when you see a person who picks up a phone and points it at you, do you run? As for falling in love...... Unless you are at home every day and don't go anywhere, as soon as you go out, taxi drivers, gas station waiters, hotel aunts...... Can you guard against it? As long as you can, then you are free, the company doesn't care. Just like before, you guys got fat, did the company say anything? No. But when it comes to returning, you are about to stand in front of the camera, and you don't want to lose weight...... Do you feel worthy of the fans who paid for your albums? ”

"But you have to be undetected...... Park Hyo-min smiled. It's too hard, isn't it? ”

"This kind of company will write the love prohibition clause into the contract, because the children who have just debuted are young and don't understand these truths, so it is better to directly stipulate the contract and enforce it. And when you reach an age where you don't need these terms, if you don't understand these truths...... Then it's time for you to be eliminated from the idol industry. William Wang replied to the 22-year-old girl. Our company doesn't have this clause, so maybe in a few years, you will all feel that you have met a good person, and then you will think, I am just singing and dancing, can fans leave my private life alone! Well, now I'm going to tell you, fans can't care, but they can dislike you, and then they will even become your anti fans because they suddenly found out that they loved the wrong person before, and then they turned into your anti fans because of love and hate, and then ......"

William Wang spread his hands.

"Didn't you ask me before, why is it so difficult to turn an idol into an actor?" Zheng Duohui said in a somewhat complicated tone, "Today your seniors told you in words that you can probably understand, because of your fans. They will love you unconditionally, and naturally they will turn to unconditional hatred because of betrayal. If you want to be an actor, you can't be an idol anymore, and then, it's equivalent to abandoning your fans......"

"Then if I want to be an actor, won't I never have a chance?" Bae Xiuzhi suddenly regretted a little, "I knew that I was like Sister Seung-yeon......"

"Seung-yeon? Still trying to interview for a supporting role but can't get it, are you sure you can stick to it like her? William Wang asked Pei Xiuzhi rhetorically. And you? Because you're a member of Dramcatcher and you've already played a supporting role in a brilliant legacy, do you think she envies you? ”

Be quiet.

"You are developing well now, whether it is in China, in the island country, or even in the United States, you have fans." William Wang saw that Pei Xiuzhi couldn't say a word when he was reprimanded, so he continued, "As an idol, these care and love come easily, but you have to understand that this is not a matter of course, do you know how many people I have in my fan club now?" Not half of you. ”

"Really...... fake," Jisoo said with a look of disbelief.

"As of now...... The number of paying fans of your senior fanclub, who claims to be a superinternational superstar, is less than 20,000. Li Zhina picked up his mobile phone, flipped to the webpage, and checked it, "Not only is it less than half of yours, but it is not even one-tenth of yours." Even your personal fan club doesn't have a fan that doesn't have more than twice as many fans as him. ”

Be quiet.

The girls all looked at each other.

"That's the number of members who are willing to pay an annual fee every year to become your fans, and you're up for yourself." William Wang added, "You must learn to be grateful, and you can't pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the bowl to scold your mother." It's just to lose weight, if it weren't for them, how could you still have so many delicious foods to eat fat? ”

"We get it, senior." Irene saw this, and it should be that William Wang had nothing to say, "We'll pay attention to it later." ”

"Well, self-management, maintain yourself in the best state you can have, stay away from unnecessary scandals, and then work hard to do what you want to do...... William Wang nodded, "If you can't even do this, then maybe you can't do anything that requires your efforts." Compared with becoming a big actor and becoming a national singer, control your weight and try not to be found out by fans about falling in love...... It's all too simple to be simple. ”

"Okay, senior, don't talk about it." Irene interrupted William Wang's nagging, "So, Kim Taeyeon-senpai broke up with you because she didn't want her fans to find out about the affair with you?" ”

"But isn't it already an open secret that something is going on between them?" Jisoo next to him looked incomprehensible, "Even we know ......"

"As long as Taeyeon doesn't admit it, then there is none." William Wang sighed softly, "In the future, your fans may also face this day's ......."

"It really feels so silly......" Park Hyo-min's eyes became a little complicated.

"Silly? That's the fans! William Wang nodded, "So if possible, try to be nice to them!" Play your part. ”

"Got it! We'll do our best! This time we're fighting for ...... Take twenty one! Kei shook his fist and looked like he was going to fight.

"Take it easy! Twenty? You have a bit of a digital concept, okay! ”

The statement of the busy was immediately suppressed by a group of sisters......
