It can be seen from the popularity of female stars, regardless of Hong Kong and Taiwan, just talking about the mainland, if divided by generation:
In the 1980s, there were ancient beauties such as Gong Xue, Zhu Lin, He Qing, and Chen Hong. All of them had masterpieces and left a strong impression on them. They are all treasures in the nostalgic party.
In the 1990s, there were Jiang Qinqin, Gao Yuanyuan, Zeng Li, Hu Jing, etc., and the inheritance was considered orderly.
Entering the new century, the Four Ice Ages began to sweep across, and Liu Yifei became the White Moonlight. After 2010, people such as Da Mi Mi, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Jing Tian, etc. also emerged, and a hundred flowers bloomed, each with its own characteristics, which can be called China Entertainment
prosperous times.
And after 2015, the post-90s Xiaohua took over, and Li Qin, Reba, Nazha, and Yang Zi also have their own audiences.
From now on, it will be useless. Those so-called popular little flowers, just to name a few, Zhuang Dafei, Li Gengxi, Hu Lianxin, Tian Xiwei... Of course they have fans, but they can only enjoy themselves in the fandom.
Its popularity is gone, and no one knows it when it comes to it.
Although there are Yang Chaoyue, Zhang Zifeng, Zhao Jinmai, Song Zuer and others who are relatively popular, but with the same problem, the best among them only have potential. Who would think that they can take the lead?
The only one who seems to be able to take the leading role, Zhou Dongyu, is still favored by Hong Kong circles. In recent years, his popularity has been declining.
The environment is changing, rolls and fast food are coming.
As a result, a newcomer can quickly debut, film, gain fans, and make a lot of money, but this person cannot be able to impress the screen at a young age, just like Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi back then.
As soon as everyone saw it, they were very sure, hey, you are the leaders of this generation, and you will be the backbone of the future.
Such characters have become extinct.
Among female stars, Zhang Zifeng once had this kind of momentum, but it's a pity that she is weak in the middle. If there are subsequent hits, she may be able to rise again.
A male star, um, a four-character prince???
So Yao Yuan couldn't pick out any of them even if he wanted to. He could only collect the big traffic users of later generations, train them, make some movies that are not so bad, and make some programs that are not so rubbish.
By the way: This is also reflected in entertainment articles. There are very few with a background after 2015. Who should be the heroine? No one knows her.
Instead of writing about those little flowers, I might as well write about the courtyard house.
By the way, Qin Huairu’s literary status is almost as high as that of Huang Rong and Luo Bing...

"Hey, where are you?"
"I'm eating out."
"Hurry up and come to the company. If you have something to do...forget it, just take a taxi and come over!"
"Huh? Taking a taxi is expensive!"
"Stop talking nonsense and come back quickly!"
At this moment, in this Shaxian snack restaurant, Yang Chaoyue was only halfway through eating when she was harassed by company personnel. She muttered, stood up reluctantly, and went out to take a taxi.
Taxi, the starting price is 14 yuan!
She took the car and rushed to an office building in the YP district as quickly as possible. She went up to the 22nd floor and found an office room with a "Wenlan Culture" hanging on it.
This company held a selection event, and eight girls stood out and formed a girl group called "Qiuqiu Baby" - which was later renamed CH2.
Yang Chaoyue just signed a contract.
According to the historical trajectory, this girl group will go through some rough singing and dancing training. Its main business is live broadcast and Showgirl. It cannot be scrawled any more and may be disbanded at any time.
But it was lucky and sent Yang Chaoyue to "Produce 101".
"Mr. Zhao!"
As soon as she came in, she was shocked when she saw the biggest boss. Mr. Zhao didn't say much and motioned to enter the back room.
Yang Chaoyue went in confused and saw someone sitting there. She immediately felt uncomfortable. The other person looked at her like she was buying vegetables in a vegetable market, as if she had been stripped clean inside and out.
"What did I ask, what did you say!"
The other party did not introduce himself, but said directly: "Your profile says you are 18 years old, and you haven't changed your age?"
"No, no."
"My hometown is in the countryside of Yancheng?"
"Um!"
"How is your family situation? How are your parents doing?"
"..."
Yang Chaoyue hesitated, and Mr. Zhao said, "Just tell me if I ask you. It's not a bad thing."
She then said: "My family is not very wealthy. My father didn't get married until he was 36. When I was 10 years old, my mother ran away with a Zhejiang man. I went out to work before I graduated from junior high school."
"What have you done?"
"I worked as a female worker in a sewing factory, as a waiter in a hotel, and as a salesperson in a bridal shop."
"Is your name a stage name?"
"It's my real name. My dad originally wanted to call me Yang Fenghuang, but the women's director in the village didn't think it was good, so I called me Yang Chaoyue."
"What talents do you have?"
"Well……"
"Sing any song!"
"Follow my left hand and right hand in slow motion, and my right hand and left hand will be replayed in slow motion..."
Yang Chaoyue started singing "Youth Cultivation Manual" by TFBOYS, the pitch was blurred, there was no rhythm, he just followed his will.
The other party frowned and said: "Dance!"
She bounced twice more.
"..."
The other party frowned, turned around and said, "Is this your potential stock?"
"We haven't trained yet. They are all ordinary little girls, but she has a good foundation and is beautiful. Beauty is the most important thing."
Mr. Zhao said hurriedly.
"Okay, then I'll lower my standards. You can imitate a short plot of your favorite movie or TV show. Anything is fine."
five minutes later.
Yang Chaoyue was kicked out.
When it comes to singing, my voice is mediocre, my talent is poor, and my sense of sound is extremely poor.
Dancing, uncoordinated and clumsy.
Acting, please, this acting is worse than Tsubaki Sannomiya!
The visitor recorded every flaw in the notebook, but he did not deny it completely. Just like Mr. Zhao said, beautiful! These days, being beautiful is a stepping stone.
Moreover, she dares to speak and can chat, and she also has a little bit of cleverness that can survive in society.
This kind of talent was difficult in the past, but it is different now, because there is a new profession in the entertainment industry, variety show star! Even if you are not good at anything, but you have a strong sense of variety show, you can still make a lot of money.
"Yang Chaoyue, 18 years old, 168cm tall."
"Professional training: none!"
"Cabaret performance rating: Hard to describe!"
"Advantages and future development: good looking, good at chatting, you can try variety shows, maybe you will be a potential stock with more training!"
"Overall grade: D+"
The visitor put away the book and asked Mr. Zhao for a price.
"Your contract liquidated damages are 500,000, but in view of your excavation and some initial costs, 1 million, I will take them away!"
The liquidated damages in the initial contract are not very high. Depending on the performance of the members, the contract will be constantly renewed to increase the value. 500,000 is nothing in the entertainment industry, but for children from these ordinary families, it is already a lot of money.
.
Like SNH48, many members are trapped in hundreds of thousands of liquidated damages and cannot terminate their contracts.
"..."
Mr. Zhao wanted to bargain, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to agree.
Looking at this kind of thing, if Yang Chaoyue raises 1 million to terminate the contract, he will definitely feel that he has made a profit. If he poaches people instead, he will definitely feel that he has lost money.
The visitor finished talking and walked out. Yang Chaoyue waited obediently outside.
"Where do you live now?"
"Company dormitory."
"Go back and pack up. Follow me back to BJ tomorrow."
"ah???"
The visitor looked at her confused face and finally smiled and said: "You will be mine from now on. Remember your new owner, 99 Entertainment!"
…
Coming out of the office building, the man felt a little relieved.
Yu Zongguang sent people to search for the young girls of girl groups across the country. He was responsible for the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions. Yang Chaoyue was more difficult, but he finally achieved some results.
Everyone speculates that since Mr. Yu and Mr. Yao have attracted so many young girls, they are bound to cause trouble. When your boss likes to make trouble more than you do, the employees will be motivated and people will have fun all over the world.
