Chapter 683 Breaking the circle [asking for a monthly ticket]
"Do you have any explanation?" Zhao Mingyang looked at the female manager Wu Li and asked.
"I saw that many people secretly gave gifts to the director," the female agent reminded, meaning we had to give some too.
"Oh ~ those are them. I am different from them. I never play such vain tricks." Zhao Mingyang said.
The female manager Wu Li didn't say anything. She felt that Zhao Mingyang still didn't understand the entertainment industry. In fact, Zhao Mingyang felt that this manager had not stepped out of the traditional model.
This is broadcast on the Internet platform. There are no rules anymore. All Internet companies have the final say. They all rely on data to speak. It depends on the popularity. Whoever is more popular will give the picture to whom. This is the reality. Everything
It is produced for shooting that users love to see.
Directors work part-time, which is why many big-name directors are unwilling to cooperate with Internet companies, because no one has the authority to invest in film, television, dramas and variety shows. The final authority lies with Internet companies. They have a group of people who specialize in marketing.
personnel.
Just like many people will think that this show is good, how can they invite their favorite stars? In fact, the variety shows produced by Internet companies are based on user feedback. Whoever you like, I will give it to you. When the audience
You will definitely pay, and you won’t feel bad if you sign up as a member.
In this process, all departments are screws, including the director, so each agency stopped currying favor with the director and began to spend all their money on Internet marketing.
Zhao Mingyang knew that this program must have footage of Meng Xiaoxian, and the director did not have the authority, and the post-editing had to be done in accordance with the requirements of the platform. The final decision was not made by the director, but by the platform. To put it bluntly, it was the platform’s operating department that made the decision.
, they have a group of professionals who are engaged in marketing and operations. They first operate a few shots and then edit them based on feedback, rather than editing first. What comes out of the editing is bound to be controversial.
So, why did Zhao Mingyang want to please the director? He bought food and drinks for everyone. Everything was in accordance with the contract. What could they do to Meng Xiaoxian? There was nothing they could do.
After Meng Xiaoxian finished filming, Zhao Mingyang saw all the stars returning to their RV.
Meng Xiaoxian also came over and took Zhao Mingyang into the RV, as well as her manager. The curtains were all opened. Because there were guests, especially those of the opposite sex, you couldn't close the curtains to prevent them from hearing what was said, but you had to let them
They saw that nothing dirty happened in the car.
The secrets in the entertainment industry are indeed beyond what ordinary people can imagine, and they are even more afraid of being plotted against.
Plastic sisters, knife-inserting teachers, these are all phenomenal words in the entertainment industry.
Meng Xiaoxian's agent is very professional. Zhao Mingyang's sudden appearance is bound to attract people's attention. If Meng Xiaoxian and Zhao Mingyang get into the RV and close the curtains, the news will soon spread throughout the Internet.
Then various marketing accounts add fuel to the fire, but if Meng Xiaoxian, her agent, and Zhao Mingyang are in the car and the curtains are opened, these people can't make a fuss about it. If Meng Xiaoxian is in the car and the curtains are closed, it will basically be fine.
"How was the shooting with Sister Xian'er?" Zhao Mingyang looked at Meng Xiaoxian and asked.
"It's not bad, but I feel too tired. Everyone is acting and looking for a camera position, and some people directly perform dialogues and deliberately find contradictions. After filming, they all went back to their RVs to rest.
There is no personal communication, but in front of the camera, everyone seems to be familiar with each other," Meng Xiaoxian said.
The agent poured a cup of tea for Zhao Mingyang and prepared a fruit platter for Meng Xiaoxian.
In the distance, someone is already staring here, asking who Zhao Mingyang is. They just want to know something.
Zhao Mingyang looked at Meng Xiaoxian and said, "I'm here mainly because I want to talk to you about the later stages. Sister Wu, please sit down and listen. Stop working."
The female agent sat next to Meng Xiaoxian, wondering what Zhao Mingyang was going to say.
Zhao Mingyang looked at them and said: "Sister Xian'er, originally this is acting. With the camera here, you can't let these celebrities show their true selves in front of the camera.
Just like you eat and live together, and when you stay at night, many people use their clothes to cover the camera, and then seem to sleep in the room. Most of them go directly to the RV to rest or go to a nearby hotel, and then come over early the next morning.
Pretending to sleep in the room to fill in the footage.
They are all shot for the audience, and the audience does not understand this. So in this short period of time, what do you want to show in front of the camera? Do you know? It is the effect, it is the topic, and it is to make the audience discuss you.
The audience can only see you in the camera, they can't see anything else, and they don't understand anything else. It's all about the camera directly giving the audience an answer and feeling.
It's like making a movie or a TV series. If you don't have a sense of presence, the program team won't be able to give you shots later, so you have to change."
Meng Xiaoxian's manager Wu Li asked: "Isn't this character already created? An ancient style character, a literary and artistic design."
"Those characters are not suitable for variety shows. Variety shows are trimmed from beginning to end, excluding commercials, etc. One episode only lasts less than thirty minutes. There are eight people in total, plus flying guests and some amateur shots. It is divided into each person's body.
It usually doesn't last more than five minutes, and there are group shots, so how do you always steal other people's shots?
Create buzz, attract traffic, the audience likes to watch it, and the platform also likes it, then that’s fine, but you must not bring in previous characters.
I am afraid of this, so I came here to remind you not to use ancient style or literary designs. The character design changes at any time according to market demand.
This is your first time participating in the recording of this type of program, and there will be several more in the future. As long as you have established yourself as a variety artist, there will be a steady stream of variety shows coming to you."
Wu Li nodded. She knew about Zhao Mingyang's operational capabilities and had heard about it. She looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked: "So, what character should Xian'er choose?"
"Among you guests, are there some who like to pretend to be literary? Some of you like to pretend to be intellectual?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"Yes, there is one who likes to say a few words in English and also likes to say that he studied abroad and stuff like that." Meng Xiaoxian said.
"That's it? I've investigated the backgrounds of this group of people. Sister Xian'er, you are the only one who graduated from a serious cultural college, and you have been studying Chinese studies since you were a child. Those people are no match for you. In culture
In this case, you can point it out directly.
If you find that the other party has made a mistake, say it directly. For example, if the other party says something that you think is wrong, say it without giving the other party any shame.
You can also dig holes for the other party. For example, you say that graduate students have the highest academic qualifications.
Some people in this group will definitely ridicule you for being ignorant and say that you are a doctor. At this time, you can turn against the generals.
Just say that the highest academic qualification in our country is postgraduate, which is usually subdivided into master's degree and doctoral degree. People generally refer to master's degree students as "graduate students" and doctoral students as "doctor" and "doctor" are also graduate students. And the so-called postdoctoral students
In fact, it is just an experience after obtaining a doctorate, and it is neither a degree nor a professional title.
You see, when you say this, you highlight the difference between you and them. This is called digging holes to slap the opponent in the face and highlighting yourself."
Meng Xiaoxian looked surprised and said: "Isn't this bad? Isn't this offending people?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. If you offend them, you'll be offended. If you don't offend them, this group of people may offend you. You must make them afraid to confront you. How many people in that circle are originally from the same company?"
Yes, and if you have social contact with them, you may be the only outsider in their eyes.
They are not stupid, they all know that they want the camera and the topic, so you might as well just take the position. I just saw it, people were in groups and left you at the back. This is just isolation.
The camera cannot be given to you alone, and priority must be given to those who speak interestingly and interact more. They are already squeezing you out in disguise and not giving you the camera, and you are too stupid not to notice.
Sister Wu noticed it and asked me to give the director a gift. Let me tell you, it’s useless. The management is an Internet company and only cares about the popularity.
The other person likes to pretend to be knowledgeable, so you slap her in the face, say a word, and then draw inferences, but don't overdo it, it will make people disgusted. Use it once or twice occasionally.
Let’s talk about the other guests, a new-generation male artist who likes to act silly and look ignorant, naive and cute. Then you attack him on this point. Doesn’t he consider himself a creative musician every day? He pursues variety in singing.
Then you talk about music with him, and when he talks about it, you sing a cappella directly, show off your basic skills, and compare with him. You can use him to gain traffic. He has many fans, so it will definitely become a topic.
For example, if he is pretending to be stupid and cute, just say... You are so happy. I envy your innocence. People in their twenties are like teenagers. I don't know, I thought you were pretending. Fortunately, we are together.
, I know you are like this.
Isn’t this the topic that comes up? The audience is not stupid. Why can’t they see that a person in his twenties is pretending to be like this? This is the other person’s personality, but fans can’t accept it, so they will attack you and abuse you.
, you will bring your own topic traffic every day,
And another group of viewers really like you for being upright and not following the rules of the world."
Wu Li thought carefully about Zhao Mingyang's words and then looked at Meng Xiaoxian and said: "I think Mr. Zhao is right. Your topic is obviously declining now and your resources have reached a bottleneck. It's better to go ahead and do it.
It is impossible to socialize with those people in the future, and you can only do two episodes of this show. Later, you will be replaced by another person who cannot come due to the early work schedule, and you will have to get a temporary one for you.
Have a reason to quit to make way for your replacement.
Originally, you could have filmed more episodes, but you were suddenly replaced by someone else. This program team was not authentic to begin with, and there is no need for us to be transparent. The advice given by Mr. Zhao is really useful."
Meng Xiaoxian cannot accept this setting. Doesn’t this become a mindless troll?
If you don't understand the ways of the world, you will do the things of a sinner.
There are no pitfalls when it comes to human relations and sophistication.
"True me, true temperament, be yourself, that's all, new character design, haven't we just started recording? From now on, you will make this character design. I will arrange for a few staff members from the company to come.
If you have nothing to do, just fight with people in the company, chat, eat and drink. Once the camera opens, you will enter the character. I will ask the company to send three screenwriters to write a character script for you alone.
Remember Sister Xianer, what I want is not your nonsense, but my true self. I don’t want to tolerate it, don’t want to deal with it, don’t want to lie to myself. Life is only 30,000 days, and you have already passed 10,000. Don’t you want to
Wrong yourself,
This is what you want to say to backstage interviews. On the show, try to show the good side of your life, criticize them, but still cook breakfast and dinner for them to show off your cooking skills, and take the initiative to cook and wash dishes.
, take the initiative to mop the floor and clean to show your diligence. While others go to hotels and RVs to rest, you rest in your room.
I will arrange for someone to come and help you check whether there is any surveillance or other equipment installed in the room. After they are criticized by you, they will definitely arrange for someone to use their third vision to take pictures of your bad side. I will also arrange for people to take pictures.
.
At that time, even if there is no camera, you have to follow the standards of having a camera and leave the other party speechless. When the filming is over, leave directly and don’t have anything to do with this group of people. After the show is broadcast, I guarantee that you will come out
Circle, break out of the circle for the second time, this time you break out of the circle better than before.
Because you haven’t fully entered the fandom culture before, you can definitely do it this time, because there are fans fighting for you, and only fans fighting can be topical.”
