After Peng Yuchen's words came out, there was a brief silence.
She thought Gu Changge was questioning the validity of this sentence, so she explained: "Ms. Gu, although the company has several partners and investors, I have the final decision-making power on business issues."
"We can implement this in the contract."
Peng Yuchen made a mistake. She thought that the promise of debut was a very important condition, but in Gu Changge's eyes, it became more clear that it was just a small workshop that could not get on the stage.
What kind of incredible opportunity could it be for someone to agree to it so easily?
"Mr. Peng, let me be blunt. Thank you very much for your love for Xiaowei, but I don't think she will get a good development with you."
Not receiving the expected positive feedback, Peng Yuchen did not hesitate: "I dare to ask Ms. Gu, what do you think is good development?"
"If Xiaowei really wants to pursue a career in art, I hope she can receive long-term study and training at a professional art school, and then enter the industry through more formal channels."
Peng Yuchen tried to educate her: "Ms. Gu, I have to say that your understanding of this industry may still be ten years ago."
"You have two misunderstandings."
"First, we will also conduct systematic and formal training for trainees, and compared to campuses far away from the front lines of the industry, our training will definitely be more targeted."
"And we will also make use of available resources. In fact, we have a very close cooperation with the Chengdu Conservatory of Music. But Xiao Gu told me that she would rather get admitted to a key university in Beijing."
"As for your daughter, since I promise you to send her to debut, of course we will create her with the highest artist standards."
"We don't charge any fees, but invest real money, and this standard will only be far higher than the standards of the professional colleges you mentioned."
"Secondly, your so-called more formal channels are a false proposition."
"In recent years, due to the impact of the Internet, the traditional record industry has declined rapidly and almost visibly, and many famous and famous artists have fallen into trouble."
"By the time your daughter graduates, I doubt they will really have the ability to introduce new people?"
"As for the film and television industry, it is a very closed circle. Although mainland China has a very special model of delivering talents to the industry through acting schools, this opportunity is very slim."
"There are only one or two stars in each class, and most of the rest are unknown, not to mention that they have to go through cruel selection when they enter the school."
"In fact, in the two countries with mature idol industries I just mentioned, they are the main way for the industry to attract young artists."
"Idols must first be tested by the market."
"Successful idols have proven that they can win the favor of fans, and then use their existing popularity to transform into professional singers or actors."
"I believe that the emergence of the idol industry is an innovation in the hematopoietic function of the entertainment industry, and it will be an irreplaceable part in the future."
"In the near future, if you see young actors or singers who are somewhat famous, nine out of ten of them will be idols."
"Because the current trend has become more and more clear. Popularity is the cornerstone that determines everything. Those who are popular are called artists, and those who are not popular can only be called passers-by."
Peng Yuchen's statement is based on her industry knowledge. In the era of mobile Internet, the popularity she talks about can be converted into traffic.
However, Ms. Gu Changge really disagrees with this view: "I know very well how fierce the competition is in this industry, but because of this, it is even more important to have a solid foundation."
"As the old saying goes, one minute on stage takes ten years off stage. I don't think the so-called idols you mentioned can go very far."
Her prejudice is deeper than imagined.
"Ms. Gu, it is a form of discrimination for you to equate idols with lack of strength."
"Because idols usually debut at a young age, their gradual growth process after that is also one of the important aspects to watch."
Peng Yuchen was thinking about countermeasures while explaining. She thought of the information revealed to Gu Caiwei very keenly, and changed the topic: "Ms. Gu, I would like to take the liberty to ask, have you ever had any experience in art?"
"I have sung opera." Gu Changge didn't want to talk to her in depth.
"I heard from classmate Xiao Gu that you taught her to sing Yue opera when she was a child. In fact, I also have some knowledge of Yue opera."
"I think your figure and appearance, if you can stick to the stage, you will definitely not let the five golden flowers stand out in front of you."
The so-called Five Golden Flowers refer to the five rising stars who were vigorously cultivated by the Zhijiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe in the early 1980s. They were once very popular. The most well-known among them is probably the famous actor He Saifei who later transformed into a film and television actor.
Gu Changge knew that Peng Yuchen's words were polite. In fact, she gave up singing not because she didn't want to, but because she failed on this road.
"Personally, I very much appreciate the attention and persistence you and other traditional opera actors place on artistic standards, as well as the honing and research of their own skills."
"But I still have to say, times have changed."
"Traditional opera can be taught through a master-apprentice system. You can practice silently off the stage for more than ten years, and only make your debut on stage after you have mastered kung fu."
"This troupe-style training method can no longer adapt to the fast pace of modern entertainment life."
Not enough words to speculate.
Gu Changge believes that it is impossible for such a businessman to truly improve his daughter's artistic talent.
"Mr. Peng, you have your opinions, and I have mine."
"I don't think we have to forcefully convince each other, but I will never agree to Xiaowei signing a trainee contract with you."
Peng Yuchen was not discouraged, nor would he give up easily: "Ms. Gu, you may be affected by public opinion, but you still have many widespread misunderstandings about the idol industry."
"I am happy to answer your questions on this matter, and I think we should also respect the opinions of the person involved, Xiao Gu, right?"
Gu Changge sneered unkindly: "The biggest difference between us is that what I value is my daughter's future, but what you value is only profit."
Peng Yuchen refused to give in:
"I admit that what I value most is Gu Caiwei's financial value, but Ms. Gu, I definitely value the success of her acting experience more than you do."
"After all, even if she fails, she will just go back and be her rich girl, but I have staked half my life's accumulation and my entire career."
There is no point in continuing this conversation.
Gu Changge summed it up simply: "I never asked Xiaowei to succeed."
Peng Yuchen's attitude can be said to be a bit aggressive: "Why should we pretend to be noble? I can see that you are not the kind of person who is busy with life."
"But since as a career, of course you should pursue success, is the so-called disregard of success or failure just like playing house?"
"Did you have the same mentality when you were singing?"
Peng Yuchen is not a person who gets emotional easily, nor does she want to decide the winner or loser with words. She sees that today is probably going to be in vain, and now she hopes to touch her by saying some serious words.
As expected, this sentence made Ms. Gu Changge extremely displeased. She maintained her final demeanor, stood up and said, "I don't want Mr. Peng to worry about Xiaowei and I."
"Farewell."
Gu Changge walked away gracefully, and Peng Yuchen sat silently, reviewing the conversation just now for a while.
She re-examined the furnishings in the house. It was difficult for outsiders to enter such a good place without the guidance of regular customers.
So she stood up and opened the window to take in the view. The lakes and mountains in the distance set off each other, which was very pleasing to the eye.
