Zhao Mingyang finally knocked on the car door to remind Xu Qingqing that he was about to open the door. He knocked several times and pressed the car key on purpose, fearing that she wouldn't be able to hear it with her headphones on.
Xu Qingqing quickly closed the window, took off her headphones, and closed her laptop.
Zhao Mingyang gave her five minutes to prepare before opening the car door. Xu Qingqing's face turned red after looking at Zhao Mingyang.
"Do you understand now what this list is for?" Zhao Mingyang looked at Xu Qingqing and asked.
"This~this~is here to film? We don't want to help promote the content of the film, right? We also want to go to the scene to observe?" Xu Qingqing asked.
"Whatever you are thinking, that is illegal. It is never allowed in China. It is also illegal in R. The registered addresses of several entertainment companies in R. are all in the United States. It is equivalent to exporting to domestic sales. Understand.
Yet."
"Then why are they here?" Xu Qingqing asked.
Zhao Mingyang thought for a moment and said: "What should I tell you? This matter is actually not a glorious thing. First of all, this domestic model agency is called an entertainment company, but it has been doing some gray business.
To put it bluntly, it's just a pimp. This entertainment company should contact R's entertainment company, or find some female artists who are not signed by the company.
Reach a short-term cooperative relationship with the other party, such as giving the other party a female artist half a million US dollars at a time, which is a sky-high price for these female artists.
Most contracts are for six months to one year. During the contract period, you must comply with the requirements of the domestic entertainment company.
You know, these female artists can be paid at most thirty to forty thousand dollars for one work, and they can only earn more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars a year at most.
They can directly give them fifty or even one million U.S. dollars, which is a sky-high price for them. Another option is to cooperate with a brokerage company over there to help sell some photo albums that the artists can sell in the market and the domestic market.
The price of a book ranges from RMB 200 to RMB 500. If you buy it, you can participate in fan meetings and interact with fans. When the price reaches a high price, you can sell a ticket ranging from RMB 1,000 to RMB 5,000.
When artists come over, the management company here will arrange for them to go to the bar for catwalks and commercial performances to increase the popularity of the bar and drive consumption to increase the popularity. The appearance fee ranges from 500,000 to 800,000. The bar will try to be fresh. This price is comparable to that of some well-known artists.
The place is pretty much the same.
But many artists are not as well-known as these female artists, and everyone is willing to pay for fresh things.
We also participate in some company annual meetings as a group, especially those of Internet companies. Most of them are otakus. If the entire group is invited to attend, the appearance fee may reach tens of millions.
The price mentioned above for going to a bar is generally the price for one or two artists. If seven or eight female artists go to perform together, the price will be different.
Think about how many bars there are in first- and second-tier cities in China. Some third-tier cities will also invite them. We calculate based on the minimum number, fifty will invite them to perform commercials, which is about 40 million.
This income goes to the domestic agency. After all, the one-time money is given to these female stars. After they get the money, they have to follow the procedures established by the domestic company. This is still a bar performance.
Not counting the invitation platforms of some brands, this is about 40 million.
Then there are the annual meetings of various companies. They usually choose to invite this group of people over in the second half of the year, which costs 50 million.
Including the fan meetings, the income is 40 to 50 million, which is all from the tour in various cities.
Whether you want to make money or not, the next step is to register and operate social media accounts for these female artists, and the accounts belong to this side. Unless the female artists sign contracts with domestic companies, the accounts can belong to them as part of their advertising revenue.
Otherwise, the right to operate the account belongs to this domestic organization, to activate the tipping service, and to receive and forward advertisements. With so many people, this would cost tens of millions in total.
But in fact, this kind of activity can only be organized for one or two years at most, and then it won’t be organized again.”
Xu Qingqing asked in confusion: "Why don't you organize it if you make so much money?"
"The novelty has passed, no one is paying the bill, and these people themselves are not in line with the three views in our opinion. Of course, we need to take care of the performance, and consumers feel that the money spent is a bit expensive, so
I understand that these people are here just to make money and lose their popularity.
The most important thing is that this is easy to get into trouble. As mentioned before, this domestic entertainment company has always been in the gray industry.
We will introduce this group of people to some rich second generation, powerful people, etc. Many people have some fantasies, you know, for example, you fantasize about getting me and doing the same things as me."
Xu Qingqing directly kicked Zhao Mingyang and said angrily: "Go to hell! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Okay, just pretend you don't have it, but many people do. Do you know how much it costs to have a late-night snack with them alone?
Fifty to one million is not worth the money at all, but many rich people don't care, they just want to experience it once and brag to their friends.
This group of people spend hundreds of thousands for a meal and drink, so they feel that this money is worth it. This is the money that this entertainment company underwrites and makes a lot of money.
It is difficult to check the tax on this money. It is basically settled in cash. Think about how many rich people try it. If you don’t have one thousand, you will have one or two hundred.
Therefore, this is real profit. After making money from this group of people, you will basically not be able to make money in the future. The rich and powerful will feel that they will not spend this money a second time because they have experienced it.
With this kind of money, how many young and beautiful people can I find?
Rich people are not stupid either. The first time they spend their money is just for experience and to increase conversation among friends.
Female artists still get a share of this kind of gray business, so they can buy apartments in first-tier cities in Japan every time they come back. Of course they are happy to come, and some will even quit their original careers and concentrate on domestic business and enter the entertainment industry.
The money they make is more than what they made before filming, and there are still people who praise them so much that they are reluctant to go back."
Xu Qingqing looked at Zhao Mingyang and said, "Then how do we operate?"
"It's very simple. Just push a news message on each platform saying that these people have come to China, and just indicate their business cooperation contact information.
They asked us to help send a business cooperation contact information to the entire platform. We have many channels, so we can maximize people’s knowledge of this contact information. There is no need to promote it too much, and people will naturally look for it.
Okay, go up now, what else do you want? Why do you feel so bad?"
Xu Qingqing lowered her head and said with a red face: "Drive, hurry up, find a roadside public test and put me down. I don't dare to walk around now."
When Zhao Mingyang heard this, he immediately understood that he could no longer hold it in and might pee at any time.
Zhao Mingyang has experienced this feeling before and cannot move around.
He quickly drove out and went straight to a shopping mall on the first floor outside, then parked the car, picked up Xu Qingqing and went straight to the bathroom on the first floor of the mall to put her down.
It seems that in the future, Xu Qingqing will still be shown random things, and looking at too much will be harmful to her health.
Five minutes later, Xu Qingqing washed her hands and came out. Her face was red from holding back. She didn't know why she suddenly felt the need to urinate.
But I feel that in the future, for the sake of good health, I should not read random things.
"Why should I go to that event?" Xu Qingqing looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked.
"Participation is also part of the celebrity offline meeting. Of course, it's okay if you don't go. I don't plan to go either. I like to see some positive celebrities." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Then those in your computer..." Xu Qingqing was about to say but stopped.
"That's Hao Ren's computer, it has nothing to do with me." Zhao Mingyang said with firm eyes.
At this time, Hao Ren, who was in the office, suddenly sneezed very loudly and was thinking about me while he was sleeping?
