As long as it is a Vanity Fair, with the temptation of fame and fortune, all kinds of forces will enter the market, and it will be a mess, a mixture of fish and dragons, and there will always be confrontation, collision, agreement, and compromise...
To break it down, there are only a few types of forces in the entertainment industry: film and television schools, actors and directors, production agents, movie theaters, film and television companies, major TV stations... Of course, among these forces, entertainment reporters are a must.
A special existence that cannot be said.
In 1999, the entertainment industry was not called the entertainment industry, but the entertainment industry. For people in the entertainment industry, acting was a job. Outside of work, everyone could have their own relatively independent real life. However, for people in the entertainment industry,
Life is acting, acting is entertainment.
The reporters who entered this circle at this stage were the first generation of entertainment reporters in China. At this time, Chinese entertainment information programs began to sprout, and the first generation of entertainment reporters emerged, active in the entertainment circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
Compared with those who entered this circle four or five years later, the first generation of entertainment reporters have broader network resources and a more solid artist foundation, because reporters and artists at this stage can still become friends outside of work.
This thing is obtained with professionalism and character.
Until twenty years later, Andy Lau would often invite a group of older generation entertainment reporters in Shanghai to have dinner. Although they had retreated to the second line, Andy Lau was still grateful for their previous reports. Peng Bo was lucky enough to attend once, although he was a first-class reporter.
Famous financial reporter.
In mainland China, the first generation of entertainment journalists are actually more like corporate publicists for celebrities. They have close relationships with celebrities, have their own set of operating rules, and know what can and cannot be said.
Regardless of whether they attend various press conferences, they can get carriage fees ranging from 200 to 500, and get along well with the entire entertainment industry. For example, at today's annual meeting, there are many reporters, and Ofelia has to prepare for each one.
The reporter sealed a red envelope.
Many of these people later developed into celebrities' agents or promoters, and some even reached the top of entertainment companies. It must be said that they are a huge force.
This close and harmonious phenomenon between entertainment journalists and celebrities lasted for five or six years, until Liu Xiaoqing was imprisoned in 2002, Zhang Junyi and Zhao An bribed and accepted bribes, and the Gao Feng incident occurred in 2003, which broke the operating rules of entertainment news at that time.
The second generation of entertainment reporters was born.
Most of the second-generation entertainment reporters focus on exposing scandals and exposing secrets. In addition to appearing in public places for face-to-face interviews with celebrities, they sometimes follow and take secret photos. Their identity is somewhere between entertainment reporters and paparazzi. Although this job
It's hard work and turbulent, but it still attracts many people who are curious and have professional abilities.
…
Peng Bo's car arrived at Bar Street, but what he didn't know was that Nicholas Tse and Ren Xianqi's cars also arrived at Bar Street, followed by Li Bingbing who was looking for Peng Bo.
These popular stars in 1998 gathered at O'Felia. A group of entertainment reporters who could only interview the content related to O'Felia's annual meeting wanted to make exclusive or in-depth reports.
Invited or uninvited, the bar streets are full of entertainment.
The reporters who had heard that several celebrities had come to Shanghai had already been contacting the celebrities' agents and preparing their own stories.
"Zhao Wei entered the park97 bar, I'm ready to go in." Finally, a paging report was sent to the editor. Fang Yi, a young female entertainment reporter, walked into the bar. Her target was the actress who became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places last year for "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
Xiao Yanzi, "Zhang Yun?"
Just when Fang Yi entered the bar, she saw a college classmate who was also wearing interview equipment. "Are you here to interview Mr. Peng too?" the other party said.
"Mr. Peng, who is Mr. Peng?" Fang Yi searched quickly in her mind, but she just couldn't remember such a star. Yes, everyone calls celebrities by their first names, and rarely calls them sir or miss.
of.
"It's Mr. Peng from Forbes and Time Magazine. He's been in the spotlight recently. You've heard of the Rich List and the Real Estate List. He's currently making a list of Chinese celebrities. Ofelia is also a sponsor of this list. He also participated in today's Europe
Feiya’s annual meeting, as well as this year’s four major beauties and four young students..." Zhang Yun herself had attended the annual meeting and was deeply impressed by this tall man who spoke humorously on the stage.
"Quick, I want exclusive news. Others have already taken the lead." In the silhouette of the lights, she has seen many colleagues, including those who participated in the Ophelia annual meeting, and some who did not attend the annual meeting. They must have met several celebrities in advance.
Have an appointment.
Amid the din of music, Zhang Yun picked up the phone again, "Really? Isn't this a mess? Come on, Fang Ti, Ren Xianqi, and Nicholas Tse have also arrived at this bar. Which one do you want to interview?"
While they were talking, the two of them walked hand in hand, but no one in the crowd who was dancing happily paid attention to them.
"Let me interview Mr. Peng." Fang Yi hesitated no longer. She looked at Zhang Yun. The two squeezed through the crowd and finally climbed to the second floor.
"Teacher He?" There was already a crowd of people standing in front of a private room on the second floor. They all had long guns and short cannons, and they had equipment in their hands. They looked like they were traveling together.
The Teacher He mentioned by Fang Yi was He Xi, a senior reporter from China Women's Daily. He turned his head and waved to Fang Yi, and then glanced at the closed door of the private room.
Peng Bo in the private room didn't know that both Nicholas Tse and Ren Xianqi had come to this bar tonight, but as a financial reporter, he knew how stupid it was to shut out so many colleagues.
You can reject one person, but now you are rejecting a group. There are so many reporters. Each reporter has a different style and personality. But if you look down on this industry, the pens in the hands of all of them will write you down.
You can't find a single dirty word in this dirty laundry.
"Let everyone come in and drink together." Peng Bo stood up and pushed away Zhao Wei's bodyguard. There were two staff members outside, trying to drive away reporters. Peng Bo quickly stopped him.
In the crowd, he saw He Xi, the great entertainment reporter of later generations, and Ren Xiangjun, later known as China's number one entertainment reporter.
"Teacher Ren, Teacher He, sit inside." Peng Bo invited with a smile. He picked up a few cans of drinks and handed them to the reporters in front of him.
Fang Yi took the drink he handed over and felt warm in her heart on this cold winter night.
"Mr. Peng, can I interview you?" He Xi's face relaxed. He didn't expect Peng Bo to be so approachable.
He Xi did not sit down on the sofa. He and many reporters today came here for Gong Li and several other celebrities at the annual meeting, but they discovered that the producer of the celebrity list that has been rumored for a long time in the entertainment world recently.
I temporarily changed my mind and wanted to interview Peng Bo.
This was the first time he and Peng Bo met, so etiquette must not be messed up.
"Teacher He, of course, I'm glad to be interviewed by you. It's too chaotic here. Do you think you should go to my car or continue here?"
In 1999, many entertainment reporters resented being called "entertainment reporters." Entertainment reporters from more than 20 media outlets even jointly declared that they were not "entertainment reporters," but "cultural reporters."
They claim that they are different from paparazzi. They mainly report cultural and entertainment news. They chase the documentary lives of celebrities while running, and capture the unknown side of artists while squatting. They will not make any extensions or exaggerations to the entertainment news they report.
And have certain moral standards, you can gossip but not vulgar.
"If you don't mind, let's go together." Peng Bo looked at everyone and then at He Xi. It was getting late. After the interview, he had to try to publish the article as soon as possible. It is estimated that everyone had to stay up all night to write the article. They were all colleagues.
, he knows this industry very well.
He Xi nodded, "In this way, two questions for each person are not enough to ask more questions." Peng Bo smiled and said, "People will not return until they are drunk, we will not return unless we ask, don't crowd the people behind, everyone has a chance, be careful not to
If I fall, I will try my best to cooperate with the interview."
Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little moved. In contrast, Zhao Wei was sitting in the corner of the sofa. No one paid any attention to her. Everyone became quiet under Peng Bo's greeting.
If this was an artist, he would make reporters feel at ease. Fang Yi secretly said.
