What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 470 Artists from Tongji Entertainment? The misunderstanding is resolved
Chapter 470 Artists from Tongji Entertainment? The misunderstanding is resolved
Some of the other leading actors in "Wulin Gaiden" actually had the same idea as Diao Hongwu.
Originally, even some artists from the three majors would definitely choose to change jobs and go to Tongji if given the opportunity.
What's more, they are unknown artists from small companies.
I won't miss such an opportunity anymore.
However, in the end, the matter could not be negotiated.
Mainly because Xu Ji had already decided not to sign new players at that time.
In fact, the acting skills of several people are not a big problem. Since they can pass the audition, they must have passed the test.
However, the casting of "Wulin Gaiden" was actually based on the characteristics of the characters.
Although these actors performed very well.
But Xu Ji actually feels that there may not be roles suitable for them in the future.
Moreover, the drama "Wulin Gaiden" is still too classic, and it is easy for actors to be limited by the role itself.
Such a situation is difficult to completely avoid.
Coupled with the current situation of Tongji Entertainment, Xu Ji actually feels that joining Tongji Entertainment has delayed a few people.
After all, it is easy for a few people to follow other actors and choose their roles most of the time.
In this case, aside from the fact that it would be difficult to get suitable roles, even Tongji's own projects probably don't have roles suitable for them.
The key is that if this continues, it will not be easy for a few people to make money.
After all, other people in the company are actors and actresses, and they don't do variety shows or commercials.
Obviously not every actor is qualified to do this.
It's better to let a few people rely on the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden", at least there will be no shortage of acting, and there will be no shortage of various related activities and endorsements.
Whether they can escape the limitations of their roles in the future depends on them.
But there will definitely be no shortage of money to make.
Overall, Xu Ji considered the issue from their perspective.
...
"Wulin Gaiden" did not become popular overnight, but as word-of-mouth gradually fermented, I suddenly discovered that this drama became popular.
Even in the first three days of the previous broadcast, not many people paid attention to it.
Except for one hot search on Weibo when it premiered, there wasn’t much discussion afterward.
But this does not prevent this drama from being extremely sticky for viewers who follow it, and basically no one abandons the drama.
And the advantage of sitcoms is that many of them are composed of independent unit stories.
Even if you suddenly follow other people to watch it in the middle, you can still watch it.
Even if I missed watching two episodes, I won’t have much trouble understanding the plot.
Of course, the key lies in the attractiveness of the plot itself.
The relaxed and funny atmosphere of the sitcom itself can indeed allow the audience to follow it without thinking too much.
The viewing experience is still very relaxing.
Previous sitcoms also had some audiences.
Just because you can't make much money, many big companies look down on you.
However, the sophistication of production and the polishing of scripts by small companies have ruined the reputation of sitcoms.
The sudden appearance of "Wulin Gaiden" this time has restored the reputation of sitcoms.
If nothing else happens, a large number of film and television companies will follow suit and film dramas on this theme.
After all, sitcoms still have the advantages of low investment costs and low risks.
If it really becomes popular, even if it is not as phenomenal as "Wulin Gaiden" this time, it will definitely make a lot of money.
But obviously, there are companies that have successfully made money by following the trend.
But in the past, so many film and television companies that followed Feng Tongji Entertainment’s new drama themes, most of them lost money.
There is no script to support it, and some companies are not even willing to spend money on production costs.
If you really want to rely on luck, it's not that easy.
With the emergence of Tongji Entertainment, China's film and television market has generally become a trend where good money drives out bad money.
The audience is not stupid either.
If the show is not good to watch, the audience will definitely not buy it.
...
Of course, although "Wulin Gaiden" is now gradually becoming popular.
However, the previous speculations of the three major platforms were correct. The subject matter of sitcoms is too special, and in fact, they cannot capture all the audiences.
Including several dramas that were aired before, I still drank a little bit of soup in March.,
But in comparison, the popularity of the drama "Just Meet You" is getting less and less popular. As the president of Penguin Video, Xu Sheng is of course a little dissatisfied.
He had expected that this urban romance drama would at least be popular throughout March and become the most popular drama of the month.
Now it seems that there is basically no need to think about it.
Fortunately, it has also received a lot of views in the past, and the growth in the number of members is in line with expectations.
It’s not a big profit, but at least it’s not a loss.
However, the two dramas aired after "Wulin Gaiden" include one each on the two major platforms of Kiwi and Tudou Video.
They jumped without any suspense.
On the first day of broadcast, even though relevant announcements had been made, not many people paid attention to it.
The number of views has not exceeded 20 million.
This kind of result is definitely a loss for two dramas that only updated two episodes after their first broadcast and invested almost 100 million yuan.
Kiwi is okay, apparently able to keep his composure.
In other words, we can accept such losses.
But Tudou Video failed, after the data was poor on the first day of broadcast.
The playback volume dropped even more severely on the second day.
On the third day, I simply cut off my arm to survive and released all the remaining 20 episodes of the show.
I just hope that while the popularity is still there, more viewers can sign up for membership to follow the show.
This can also recover some of the losses.
...
Station G, the follow-up development of "Wulin Gaiden" is actually in Chi Jiang's prediction.
This result did not surprise him at all.
The main reason is that he has watched the entire show before, so even though it is a sitcom, he is still confident in the quality of the show itself.
Anyway, at least it won’t be the kind that will make station G lose money.
Of course, Chi Jiang never expected that the follow-up "Wulin Gaiden" would have such phenomenal popularity, with even men, women, and children chasing it.
And Tong Ji has obviously once again set a new ceiling for sitcoms.
From Chi Jiang's point of view, although this was not the first time, it was still something he couldn't get used to.
Including unpopular themes such as martial arts that Tong Ji had previously filmed, these were all things that Chi Jiang could not understand.
There is always a feeling that Xu is going crazy with all kinds of attempts and experiments.
But the drama that was produced was so complete that it instantly became a ceiling among dramas of the same type.
It’s completely impossible to tell that this is the first time filming this type of drama.
It was obvious that Xu Ji was either trying or acting on a whim.
For others, such an unpopular subject that cannot produce results may be a challenge, or even, to put it harshly, a suicide attempt.
But in Xu Ji's opinion, it was all out of interest.
I didn’t even think about whether there would be any problems with the script I wrote.
The market has also proven this. From the beginning to now, there has been no rollover.
...
However, with the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" at this time, Chi Jiang put down his worries about this drama.
But I had to cheer up again.
Because March is about to pass, and in April, their contract with Station G and Tongji Entertainment will expire.
Then it will be a tough battle that needs to be fought.
At present, Chi Jiang is not sure whether the other three major platforms will compete with their G station for this exclusive cooperation spot.
Penguin Video would probably give up at that time, after all, they had already signed a cooperation agreement with Phoenix Entertainment.
But the remaining kiwis and potato videos will not necessarily be given up.
It is even possible that he is preparing to discuss an exclusive cooperation with Tongji.
...
"Wulin Gaiden" is still on the air, but at the same time, the Weibo accounts of Yu Li, Xu Yan and Wang Yuhong were updated at the same time.
A preview of the trio's next new song was announced.
From the time I terminated my contract with Phoenix Entertainment to now, less than a month has passed.
During this period, except for discussing the termination of their contract with Phoenix Entertainment, the three of them actually did not appear in the public eye.
In fact, since the end of the Spring Festival Gala, the popularity of the three of them has dropped a lot.
But the new song announced by the three this time is still a collaboration type, and it still attracted a lot of attention.
It's just that some netizens' impressions of the three of them are no longer as good as before.
The main reason is because when I was in Phoenix Entertainment, I took advantage of the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala and accepted a lot of variety shows and commercials like crazy.
Although this is a normal operation, it is still easy to ruin the goodwill of passers-by.
Phoenix Entertainment is not unaware of this.
Making such a decision is also a helpless move.
The main reason is that the Spring Festival Gala became very popular overnight, and the popularity went away as quickly as it came.
Coupled with the fact that the three of them could not sing the song "Love" when they were unable to perform, their popularity has already declined visibly.
Under such circumstances, the most critical thing is to increase exposure in a timely manner and stabilize their popularity.
At the very least, it can increase the audience's impression and at the same time retain some of the fans who became fans of the three of them because of the Spring Festival Gala.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with such a decision according to common sense.
It's just some ordinary passers-by who don't buy it.
"Why are they coming out again? During the Spring Festival Gala, you could see them in various variety shows, and I almost vomited."
"I also think that if you don't have a sense of variety and still go on variety shows every day, it's crazy to make money."
"I'm not interested. I feel like if it weren't for Yi Yun's song, these three people really wouldn't have much of anything special."
...
Forget about the malicious intentions of passers-by.
But obviously, fans of the three of them don't quite understand.
Because not long ago, there was suddenly no news about Yu Li and the others.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that some die-hard fans will be dissatisfied.
"I disappeared for so long, why was there no explanation at all?"
"You don't take your fans seriously at all, at least send a tweet!"
"Although I now know that I am preparing a new song, it would be too much to not reveal any information."
Obviously, although Yu Li and the other two people actually have no idea in this regard.
But after becoming popular during the Spring Festival Gala, the three of them still attracted many fans with their young and handsome looks.
There are also so-called rice circle fans.
In this case, it is indeed helpful to the artist's career.
Although everyone in the fan circle is shouting about it, there are still so many traffic stars who choose this path. Apart from having no other choice, it is actually because they have reaped the dividends in this area and are reluctant to give up.
But Yu Li and the others obviously didn't know this either.
They didn't expect that just a simple preview of a new song would suddenly lead to everyone shouting and fighting.
Obviously it wasn't like this before.
But they are obviously not yet familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry.
This situation is all too common.
Some celebrities and entertainers, after becoming famous overnight, may become popular in less than half a year, or even in a few months.
This is a very normal phenomenon.
He was even considered very lucky.
After all, there are more artists, and they don’t even have the chance to become popular overnight.
From his debut to his final exit from this industry, he never had a real hit.
Many people are lucky enough to be able to make a living without being forced to change careers.
...
"What do we do now?"
In Rongcheng, Yu Li saw that their reputation online was getting worse and worse, and the comments section was full of scoldings.
Suddenly I felt a little overwhelmed.
Mainly because the three of them had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing before.
This is all the responsibility of the company or broker.
But now that we have come to Tongji Entertainment, Tongji’s way of handling these matters basically seems simple and crude, that is, he is too lazy to pay attention to it.
Because Tongji’s artists all rely on their works to make a living and are not so-called fans, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to these.
Moreover, I rarely appear in public, and most of the time I rely on my own works to get the most hot searches.
"Ask Sister Man."
Wang Yuhong also said helplessly.
...
After listening to what the three of them said, Youman seemed quite calm.
"Is your new song ready to be released?"
She obviously didn't notice it either.
"It shouldn't be important. I'll use Tongji Entertainment's official Twitter account to help you promote the new song."
After hearing Youman's words, the three of them nodded in agreement, but they were still a little worried.
But not long after, with the dynamic update on Tongji Entertainment’s official Weibo account, it was announced that Yu Li and the others had signed a contract with Tongji and were preparing to release a new song.
They immediately discovered that things had taken a huge turn.
Moreover, the news about their new song has directly moved from the original tenth trending spot to the top trending spot.
The faces of so-called passers-by in the comment section are also completely different.
"Ah? Have you signed a contract with Tongji? Or is it a new song written by Xu Ji? Damn it, I have to look forward to it!"
"The misunderstanding has been resolved. I originally thought he was an annoying little traffic star. Now that he has signed a contract with Tongji, there is no need to worry. I am looking forward to new songs."
"I told you that the new song was written by Xu Ji! When will it be released? Hurry!"
...
After reading the comments, the three people raised their heads and looked at each other in confusion.
Before this, I never thought that just an article from Tongji Entertainment could bring about such a big change.
Obviously, none of them realized the reputation and popularity of Tongji Entertainment among online netizens.
For some other artists, even those from the Big Three, people may not even know the name of their management company.
But Tongji is different. Even if he just signed a contract, he has the identity of an artist under Tongji Entertainment.
Most netizens subconsciously attribute him to outstanding singers, and even if he is not well-known, it does not prevent many people from paying attention to the singer himself because of Tongji Entertainment.
