When will I be the queen

This is a very common and conventional way of flattering people, and it is also the safest. In this process, they speculate on CP, abuse fans, and spread some appropriate scandals, all in order to increase the popularity. Wanqianxinghui has many projects, and as long as everything goes smoothly, there will be many opportunities. Therefore, it is also the one who pays the least. Whether the artist can really get up depends on himself. They say it’s strength, but in many cases it’s luck.

He Kai looked at Cai Cai and smiled, no, this is his luck. But to be honest, there are so many artists in Wanqianxinghui, many of whom are better than Meng Ning. Why did you fall in love with Meng Ning?

"Is it because he is the only one suitable for this book?" He Kai wanted to ask.

Xianjun thinks that one reason is that Cai Cai wants to see the finished product of this book. Another reason should be what she said about the market and personality positioning of female-looking male actors like Meng Ning. But why is the latter something Cai Cai needs to worry about? What on earth is this kid thinking?

"Before, Xianjun said that many new people in the company couldn't come out, and they couldn't lead projects." When Cai Cai was taking a shower, he fast-forwarded through all the company's projects in the past two years, and then, how should I say, "These two In 2017, other companies wanted to copy me. Not to mention whether they were successful or not, at least a few of them have reached the second tier. Then the company also signed many female artists, and the projects were all good, and the results were okay. So relatively speaking, It seems that the overall performance of male artists in the company is weaker than that of male artists outside."

Cai Cai continued, "Xianjun said that these male artists can't be brought up. In fact, it should be said that they can't get out. The company has been successful in copying Xianjun, but after a long time, Xianjun himself came here to poke fun. It will only become more and more difficult to come out. I have also looked at the company's projects in the past two years. To be honest, there is almost no innovation, the male protagonist has a flat design, and even the project of Xianjun has little intention. I don't I know what the data is like, but if I only look at the finished product of the project, well, if I didn’t lose money, I’d make a profit.”

Both Xianjun and He Kai were silent. It is true that they did not lose money because they made their money back when they invested in the early stage. Those who lost money were those who invested later.

It can be said that the company has been taking advantage of Cai Cai in the past two years. It’s not that other projects and artists don’t make money, but because Cai Cai makes so much money, it’s almost negligible. Audiences and fans may think that many artists from Wan Qian Xing Hui are prosperous, but in fact, all of them together are not as good as Cai Cai. So the company didn't panic at all. If the Immortal Lord is here to hold the battle, Ten Thousand Stars will be, how should I put it, too lazy to bother, so they will take the safest path. For example, the conventional way of praising Meng Ning.

Cai Cai said it simply, but in fact the company has had a lot of problems in the past two years. It's just that both Cai Cai and Xianjun are very good at making money for the company, so the company has slacked off. To put it bluntly, I just eat Cai Cai to support myself in old age. This is why other companies are jealous and desperately want to create another Cai Cai.

"So you just want to develop a new actor market?" Xianjun still felt that this was not Cai Cai's thinking.

"The main reason is that there haven't been any dramas that have caught my eye in the past two years." She can't film it herself, and if others don't film it, what will she watch? Besides, "When we last met, you kept talking on the phone and in meetings about this matter. I just wanted to share your worries."

The immortal king's eyebrows moved, and he looked at Cai Cai silently, sharing my worries?

He Kaiping laughed, "Baby, from the perspective of the company boss, you are indeed sharing Xian Jun's worries, but from the perspective of a fellow actor, you are finding a match for Xian Jun. ah."

Well, Cai Cai's eyes widened, "How could it be possible!! The Immortal Lord is so strong, who can fight with him?"

"But there are some roles that Xianjun has never played before. He can't play them either." For example, the character design is a character with more elements of a small character. When Xianjun auditioned, he couldn't play it himself. It’s not that the acting is bad, it’s just that you can’t watch it. To put it bluntly, the audience doesn’t accept it. The overall image of the Immortal Lord is too noble. The guy who delivers the food by courier is just a twitchy noble boy, not even a noble boy who experiences life. One is because of Xianjun's appearance, and the other is because of Xianjun's family background.

In a costume drama, you can barely play a civilian scholar, but in the end, if you don't become a prime minister, the audience will curse you. Xianjun has played a gangster, and will eventually become a lawyer.

"Speaking of which, you will also face this problem in the future. But you already have this problem now." He Kai thinks it is not a big problem. There are so many roles and there are endless roles to play. If you don't play certain types of roles, it will have no impact at all.

But Xianjun said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to experience multiple lives through acting? Due to personal limitations, you can't play many roles. Don't you regret it?"

Cai Cai pouted, "Why can't I act? I act myself. I have acted in everything. Acting does not necessarily have to be shown to the audience. It is also important for me to be happy when I act. Isn't it true that only plays that are seen and liked by the audience can be successful?" Call it a good show? If I am happy acting, then it is a good show!"

"." There is nothing to say. Cai Cai's core is stable and strong.

"Besides, why are you looking for a match for the Immortal Lord? Standing out alone is not a problem, spring is when thousands of flowers bloom. Can the Immortal Lord still dominate the entertainment industry, take over all the roles by himself, and leave nothing to others? Then this is He is a real drama tyrant. Not to mention, Xianjun can't do it all. Not to mention, Xianjun is so strong, he can be suppressed easily." Cai Cai believed in Xianjun's strength.

"."I really thank you

The immortal king only thought that the child had a true conscience and was helping him share his worries, instead of being bored and looking for trouble for him.

In fact, after experiencing a global aesthetic regression and then a large-scale comeback, there are many female-looking male actors, but it is true that none has come out, completely lacking the achievements of their predecessors. This kind of actors are piling up in the circle. If they leave, others will feel sorry for them, and they themselves will not be willing to stay. They can't get ahead without roles or projects. They go abroad to perform gay-themed movies, and when they come back, they will have money, status and fame, but There are no mainstream jobs. Some actors find it acceptable, but there are also many who cannot. Whose dream of an actor does not include a National Taiwan University production and an Oriental Star trophy?

"But the roles played by this type of female-looking male actors are all in costume dramas with heavy makeup, and the fairies are the most popular. They play monsters and monsters. After the role became popular for a while, people did not become popular, and they were soon found out. This person. Some analysts say that it is a problem with the fans’ mentality. Without the blessing of the character, very few people will like a thin man who is simply good-looking. Everyone admires the strong. Therefore, some artists will have many personas, such as academic masters, etc. Veteran cadres, straight men, etc., but their help is minimal."

He Kai sighed, "Under patriarchy, it's not just women who are suppressed, but also men with female faces. It seems that whether in reality or in movies and TV dramas, the only way out for men with female faces is to be subordinate to other men." "The situation is actually not that exaggerated, but it is true that it is difficult for such female-looking male actors to find a way out. It is difficult to play with male actors, and even more difficult with actresses. How many actresses are willing to accept a rival actor of the opposite sex who is better-looking than themselves.

"So this part of the market looks big, but in fact, there is no need to occupy good books. There are no good roles suitable for them. Bad books want to set up projects. The investment and return may not be directly proportional. Let them endure it. As long as they are in the circle I have always had a job and survived twenty years. As I get older, I can play more roles. Even if I am not the protagonist, I can become a powerful supporting role and be praised by the audience for my good looks. Compared with other older people who have no role. The acting colleagues are also very good.”

"." Even Zhou Qing and the others, who were sitting very far back, couldn't listen anymore. This is really the ugly face of capital.

Xianjun knew that this was reality, but it was not suitable to tell Cai Cai. He glared at He Kai and directly promised Cai Cai, "I will let people start preparing for this project." Anyway, there will be no loss of money or more. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the point is to make Cai Cai happy, so why not do it.

Cai Cai was still digesting He Kai's words. He nodded blankly to deal with the Immortal Lord, and then asked He Kai, "So those legendary middle-aged people who made their fortunes actually did it through hard work?"

A long-lasting hot topic in the entertainment industry is that of getting rich in middle age. The press releases almost always talk about the accumulation and grievances when they were young. Then when they reach middle age, they have accumulated a lot of experience, have good strength and appearance, and naturally become famous. As if they deserve everything, as if they are destined to become famous in middle age. They are also very happy, even satisfied with their middle-aged popularity. They have no regrets about the depression in the past. They are also grateful for the quiet period in the past. They keep saying that I am the best version of myself now.

But think about it for a moment, if you can achieve the results you have now at a young age, who will survive twenty years?

Inspirational is inspiring, but the cruelty behind it is also really cruel.

He Kai still wants to be fair, "It's not that the company wants artists to waste time like this. You see, there are many people who quit the industry and change careers. Even those who were banned for various violations and crimes, there are also many people who are on stage and behind the scenes. In fact, there are many ways to make money in this industry. Many people are used to living a good life where they can be prosperous and wealthy by selling their faces and words, and they are reluctant to leave. Selling other things is not impossible, but on the table, endorsements and sales, For an 18th-tier young artist, a photo of him holding a product can sell for 30,000 yuan. After having tasted the sweetness of making money, who would be willing to leave if he really couldn't survive.

Didn't you notice that even the rich are working as entertainers and selling goods?

"They have not given up on themselves and are willing to endure it. The company will not receive liquidated damages and will not suffer any losses, so why should they cut off the future of Renjie? Many companies have a large number of zombie artists, signed management contracts, and a large number of loose jobs If you go out, whoever picks it up belongs to you. Aren't you just trying to pick something up and become famous? Who knows which zombie will be resurrected with full health? "

He Kai didn't feel that he was saying something cruel, "Because those who choose to be artists are basically from good family backgrounds, and last but not least, there is no pressure at home. Now it is no longer the old circle of the last century, everyone has a good family background." The debts owed, everyone has a gambling mother who sells her sons and daughters, an alcoholic mother, a domestic abuser, and a father who owes money. They are forced to find no way to survive. Now, everyone's life is better, and there are too many ways to survive, whether on land or at sea. It’s a way to survive, why bother just being trapped in this circle. Not all those who stay are voluntary and unwilling.”

"I would rather be a zombie in this circle than go out to work as a laborer. This is the path they have chosen, and whatever their future is, it is their own fate." He Kai finally started talking, "Actually, many people, Even outsiders can see that they are not suitable to be artists or stars. But they are still trapped in this circle because they are trapped by reputation, contracts, wealth, and family. Every year, people commit suicide, and a large number of people are killed. Artists who have been diagnosed with depression, but you guys would rather die than quit the industry. Is it because they don’t want to? It’s because they can’t quit. Let’s just say you” looked at Cai Cai, “If you quit the industry now, believe it or not, your family At least you have to give up a large portion of your family fortune.”

"Xianjun entered the industry with more than half of his family property, just to protect himself and not let himself get stuck here passively. Wealth and wealth are charming. Many times, it is clear that something is wrong, but there is only one way. When the road gets dark, it may seem that you can’t help it, but it’s actually the path you choose. Some people don’t want to retreat, but they can’t move forward. Some people want to retreat, but they can’t take even half a step back. Being a zombie or a puppet on strings, in fact, It’s all your own choice.”

"There is no industry that is not cruel. Why is the entertainment industry always criticized? Because it is too public."

He Kai was glared at by Mei Zhang several times and didn't say anything more. Cai Cai thought that it was her naivety and good intentions that caused her to do bad things with good intentions. He should speak more, so that Cai Cai wouldn't be in trouble if something happened to him. Sometimes the losses are actually regrets.

Cai Cai frowned, "People die for money and birds die for food. It is never shameful to live a better life. The road is indeed chosen by oneself, but the holes on the road are not dug by oneself." He snorted. , "You only emphasized the individual, but did not mention the environment. Now that the environment is better, more people will be willing to stay in this circle. But a good environment does not mean that the environment is superior. And if we have the ability to create a better Environment, then why not do it? The roads are all made by people, and a good environment is also man-made. I want to see more actors of all kinds standing in front of the stage, instead of cookie-cutter copies. The audience is now well fed Well, then why can’t we eat better?”

He Kai laughed and said, "You are just a drama~~~"

"."certainly not.

Xian Jun nodded at the table, "So you want to push the company's female and male actors first? Be the first to eat this part of the audience market?" You think simply, this is not a trivial matter.

"That's right, you can't mess with us two sheep, right?"

"Do you think no company has thought of it?" Xianjun was not talking about Cai Cai Tianzhen. "There are so many innovative works and new types of artists born every day. But after so long, what the audience likes, in fact, has always been Nothing has changed. From the beginning of the traffic era to the present, there have been countless top actors, almost none of them the same, but they have a lot in common. Actors with outstanding performance firmly occupy the top spot, do they just rely on their acting skills? There are so many niche preferences , but when they are no longer a small minority, there are many, and they will not survive.”

Xianjun agreed with Cai Cai's idea, but he had to make it clear that it would probably not succeed.

"I will have a meeting with the company to make a specific plan. The project will be advanced very quickly, and I will let someone report to you. By the way, you will not lose money if you invest money, but you will not make any profit. Making money depends on luck." Xianjun finally decided and did not continue this off-topic meeting. There is no end to these things in the circle. We can single them out and talk about them all. They are all knowledge and lessons. But people like Cai Cai, who are still moving forward courageously and have a stable core, no matter how much they say. , it’s hard for her to listen to it, so it’s better to talk less and do more.

Cai Cai nodded, "I originally wanted to invest. Why did Meng Ning listen to me and accept this book? How could I not take care of him. I also plan to cover part of the post-production and all the soundtrack."

"." Mei Zhang was dumbfounded. You don’t have to work so hard, right?

He Kai almost couldn't hold his breath, "You are really thankless. Do you know how much your creations are being asked for outside! Are you going to work so hard for such a book? Do you like it so much?"

Cai Cai nodded, saying that he liked it so much, "This is the first time I have seen the gender of the male and female protagonists blurred, without showing off male and female rights. I really like it." So I am willing to work hard and pay for it.

This is really hard to buy for your happiness.

The Immortal Lord covered his face, saying that after saying so much, you really didn't hear a word. "You also need to understand one thing. Although this is your start, no matter what the final result is, it has nothing to do with you." Relationship, you don't have to bear anything." He Kai felt that Cai Cai wanted to change the status quo of female actors and do good things, but this was tantamount to shouldering their success or failure in life. Oh, how can there be such a good thing? Take responsibility for your own life.

Cai Cai blinked, "Of course, I've done what I can do, what responsibility do I have?"

"."Good. little bastard! ! !

After that, Xianjun said that Cai Cai will be an award guest at Oriental Star, "This matter has been revealed, and there will be public opinion on the Internet. If there is a live interview, you can take it and say whatever you want. ”

"." Mei Zhang wanted to curse. Is this a trivial matter? Why didn't you say it earlier! ! Such an important thing! ! !

Gu Sheng laughed, "Originally, I wanted Cai Cai to shoot a vlog, but Xianjun pushed back and said he didn't have time. So I changed it to a live interview, which only lasts a minute or two."

"A minute or two?"

"Well, this is the pilot promotional video for Oriental Star. There will be a formal promotional video later. Cai Cai does not need to participate in the filming of the promotional video. She can make up for it with the live broadcast."

Mei Zhang was still anxious, "Then just say whatever you want, what did you say?"

"You can ask whatever you want. They will send some questions in advance. If you can't talk about it, you can call it back. If you can talk about it, just leave it. They will choose the appropriate questions that they think are good from what they can talk about. Cai Cai Because her face can be read here, if she is corrected in advance, she will definitely betray her, so I can only randomly select questions that can be asked for live broadcast."

"."sorry.
