147. Industry Outlook
Xiao Chu really didn't expect that Xin Xiaotian would still be so proud, or arrogant.
Sure enough, everyone has an unknown side that should not be underestimated.
Just when he was in a reverie, Xin Xiaotian suddenly touched him lightly with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of tonight's theme?"
Tonight's theme?
Xiao Chu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Tonight's theme is "Future Market Trends, Traffic is King, or Quality Oriented".
Xiao Chu also didn't expect that Xin Xiaotian would ask himself this question.
After thinking about it, this question is not so simple, it seems that there are only two options, but in fact, there are many aspects involved.
Especially in Xiao Chu's previous life, Earth Huaxia also had such a problem, and he couldn't say a word or two clearly.
So he asked, "What do you think?"
Xin Xiaotian didn't seem to have so many scruples, and when he heard Xiao Chu's rhetorical question, he said with disdain: "Of course it's quality-oriented, no, it should be changed to two words, it's quality first!"
Xiao Chu was a little surprised, Xin Xiaotian said so sonorously, and landed soundly, which surprised him again.
He couldn't help but ask, "What do you say, why are you so sure?"
Xin Xiaotian said: "Although the traffic in this era is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is in the entire network environment or in the audience market of film and television benchmarking, in fact, they are only a minority. β
"It's just that their voices on the Internet are louder. β
"It is always the silent majority who really grasp the market orientation and determine the performance and influence of a film and television drama. β
Xiao Chu asked: "I'm afraid it's not so optimistic, right? The current music market, TV drama market, and the impact of traffic seem to be getting bigger and bigger?"
Xin Xiaotian was very proud: "So what? It's just some waves above the tide, and the real mainstream of the market is still the tide and ocean currents under those waves!"
After speaking, Xin Xiaotian glanced at Xiao Chu again, "What, do you think that traffic can really be the king in this era and sweep the entire film and television circle? Or are you, the screenwriter of Xiao Da, want to stand up for traffic?"
Xiao Chu replied very calmly: "Of course not, I also believe that the future will be, and it should be quality-oriented, but I am not as optimistic as you." β
"When the Internet, the media, and even life are filled with the hustle and bustle of traffic, and the voice of the real public cannot be heard, many people in the industry are afraid that they will be misled. β
"Actors, singers, investors, film and television companies, they only see these people online and offline, and when they hear these voices, especially when a small number of people rely on traffic to grab considerable profits, it is difficult for others not to move closer to it. β
"At that time, within a certain period of time, it is easy to form the phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, and the traffic will be higher and higher, and the really good works and good artists will not get exposure, and the market will easily become impetuous, and even collapse. β
Xin Xiaotian frowned, "Do you think the traffic will wash everything?"
Xiao Chu smiled and said his true opinion, "No, I think traffic is just an artificial false prosperity, and it only takes an opportunity to easily break down." β
Xin Xiaotian looked at Xiao Chu with some suspicion.
Xiao Chu didn't explain further.
In fact, when he said this, he was still in the experience of his previous life.
Earth China, the same surging traffic is huge, it seems that the entire film and television industry is affected by it, especially in the music market, variety shows, and TV series.
But in fact, those so-called top streams are just a faΓ§ade.
The number of likes, comments, and retweets on Weibo is easy to play, and the number of video clicks is also fake.
But there is very little traffic, which can support the ratings.
In the field of films, which require real money, it is even more prototyped.
At one time, all kinds of traffic stars were popular with capital, entered the film industry, and played the leading role, among which they even partnered with famous directors and superstars, but the box office was very strained.
Before Xiao Chu "crossed over", it can be said that no traffic idol had supported the box office of any movie.
Those so-called top performers with tens of millions or even more than 100 million fans have appeared in front of the box office of the movie, and even lost their own reputation, and have been ridiculed by the group.
And in horizontal comparison, whether it is the North American film and television circle on the other side of the ocean, or South Goryeo next door, what really dominates the market is still quality dramas and word-of-mouth dramas.
Therefore, Xiao Chu is confident in the current traffic swiping and thinking.
It's just the situation, it's not good to talk to Xin Xiaotian in detail.
Real film and television people, calm down and do a good job, is the future of this industry.
And the audience is also growing up slowly.
Xiao Chu is full of beautiful yearning for the prospects of the film and television industry.
That's how it should be.
......
Xin Xiaotian walked away with a wine glass.
Xiao Chu raised his glass, silently toasted him, and turned to another place.
Wandering around the high-end and gorgeous venue, Xiao Chu suddenly saw a figure in a corner, drinking alone.
Xiao Chu didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly felt that this figure was a little familiar, so he walked over.
"Drink, come, one!"
This figure drinking alone was a man, and when he heard the movement, he raised his glass and invited, regardless of who the person who came.
Xiao Chu touched him and him.
"Little brother, a little eye-catching, did you make your debut?" the man asked with a little drunkenness.
Xiao Chu shook his head, "No, I'm a screenwriter, not an actor." β
"Screenwriter, screenwriter, there are not so many rights and wrongs, as long as you stay behind the scenes and write with peace of mind. β
Xiao Chu smiled and sighed with some emotion.
The man in front of him is called Ren Hongyu, who debuted as a student many years ago and starred in many popular TV series, and can be said to be one of the most popular students that year.
But because of the matter of marriage and affection, it has fallen, and the reputation has been turned over, but the popularity has disappeared.
The image is good, and the acting skills are also very good, but there is no drama to play.
Xiao Chu had read a little news about him on the Internet before, saying that he was a down-and-out agent, and begged the entertainment tabloid to interview him, hoping to increase his exposure and receive the announcement.
The quasi-first-line movie stars of the year have fallen to this point, which is also heartfelt.
No wonder on such occasions, a person hides in a corner and drinks sullenly.
"It's a pity that you have such a good image and are not an actor. After Ren Hongyu took another sip of wine, he looked at Xiao Chu and said.
Xiao Chu said with a smile: "Master Zu doesn't appreciate food, and he has no talent for acting." β
Ren Hongyu laughed at himself: "Well, it's okay, otherwise if you become an actor, even if you become popular for a while, you may ......"
I couldn't go on, so I poured myself a glass of wine again, held it high and said, "Little brother, come, have a drink with me." β
Xiao Chu said: "Teacher Ren, are you drunk?"
Ren Hongyu nodded, "A little, go to bed after drinking this cup." β
Immediately, Ren Hongyu didn't care about Xiao Chu, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, then tilted his head, and fell asleep leaning on the chair.
It's really said that you can sleep and have a character.
Xiao Chu was dumbfounded, drank the wine in his cup, and left.
He came here because he felt that Ren Hongyu, whether in terms of image or experience, was very similar to the starring role of a popular online drama in his previous life.
