Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 66 Are celebrities so poor they can't afford to eat?

Such a person, after venturing into the business world, could only find himself at a junior executive position in a listed company, earning around a million a year, despite his outstanding education and experience. A million-dollar annual salary is already an astonishing figure for ordinary people.

But what if we compare them to celebrities?
Currently, based on market rates, aside from third- and fourth-tier celebrities, such income can no longer be considered that of a star; it can only be considered that of an internet celebrity, just like Li Fangfang.

If we consider the salaries of second-tier celebrities, how much would they be paid for a single film?
Generally speaking, a second-tier celebrity earns around 500,000 yuan per episode for a TV series. For a movie, the fee is around 12 to 13 million yuan.

Furthermore, considering the working pace of celebrities, filming a 30-episode TV series, even for the lead actors, would take approximately three months to complete.

However, they can continue to participate in performances and commercial activities during the three-month period.

Assuming a per-episode fee of 500,000, then the total fee for a 30-episode TV series would be 15 million. In other words, the income of a second-tier star in three months is equivalent to the income of a top-performing student in fifteen years!
Of course, in reality, not all of the 15 million in film and television fees that celebrities receive are actually earned. After deducting taxes, agency fees, and other expenses, the final amount they may only receive is 5 to 6 million.

However, the production company actually spent 15 million to pay the stars' salaries.

then.

Based on these figures and logic, top talents should receive higher salaries.

A million-dollar annual salary is simply not enough to meet their needs; their salaries should be increased to fifty million or even one hundred million.

But is this reality?

Obviously unrealistic.

However, this unrealistic idea actually became Li Fangfang's reasoning for explaining why teacher celebrities should receive high salaries.

This is absolutely absurd and ridiculous!

After hearing these words, the mature and rational people shook their heads in silence.

……

However, the celebrity's fans, as if they had discovered a new world, praised these words.

"aweason!"

"This older sister is amazing!"

"Thank you, Queen Fangfang, for explaining this to our idol."

"That's right, our idols stand out from countless people, so why shouldn't they receive high salaries?"

"I suddenly feel that our idols are paid too little."

"They even felt that with such pay, they wouldn't be able to afford to eat."

"Support the Queen of Rants!"

"That perfectly expresses my feelings, it's fantastic!"

When Li Fangfang put forward her second point, her approval rating soared again.

"8%"

"8.5%"

"9%"

"9.6%"

"10%"

……

Within just one minute, the approval rating rose to 10% again.

This means that approximately four million people support her.

If she hadn't made those inappropriate remarks, these words might have garnered 20-30% support, which is nearly five million people.

The viewers in the live stream didn't understand this and started cursing.

What are you talking about?

Is that even human language?

"What do you mean by 'can't afford to eat'? Do your celebrities eat gold and diamonds?"

"These people seem to have no brains."

"If you don't intend to use your brains, please donate them to those in need!"

"I'm speechless, truly speechless." "What's wrong with young people these days? Don't they have any basic values?"

……

These viewers really don't understand why these people are like this.
These statements are completely illogical, and these people actually think they are correct!
This is the terrifying power of die-hard fans.

That's exactly why.

Although those words were clearly nonsense, they came to them as the truth.

This is precisely why agents are willing to go to any lengths to achieve their goals.

He was betting that these young, brainless fans would be fooled because they were not fully mature and were easily deceived by sweet words. As long as they kept fawning over, praising, and flattering the celebrities, they would support them.

More importantly, these die-hard fans are far more valuable than other ordinary fans.

Generally speaking, fans can be divided into three levels.

Level 1: Casual fan.

These fans just like you a little, they'll occasionally check in and support you depending on their mood.

The second level is the true fan.

These fans have commercial value; they will spend money to support their idols as long as they endorse products or star in movies, regardless of whether the films are good or bad.

The third level is the die-hard fan.

The ultimate level of fan is the die-hard fan.

They would obey every request of their idols, listening to them even more than their parents and friends.

They would even borrow money to spend on celebrities.

Now, Li Fangfang's agent wants her to say these things mainly to attract a large number of genuine fans and a small number of die-hard fans.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the 20 million fans in the live stream,

Attracting two million genuine fans and half a million die-hard fans is enough.

From a business perspective and in terms of personal fame, this is more meaningful than gaining 40 million followers on Weibo.

why?

Because one can generate revenue, while forty million is just a number.

There is a huge difference between the two!
In other words, would you choose a hundred fans who wouldn't spend a single penny on you, or one fan who is willing to spend money on you?
Of course the latter.

Li Fangfang's agent was keeping an eye on her comments while also paying attention to the reactions of the fans in the live stream.

When she saw the comments favorable to Li Fangfang, and with her approval ratings rising, her agent finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Li Fangfang briefly, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes conveyed his thoughts.

Li Fangfang also noticed her agent's gaze.

Seeing those supportive and encouraging looks, she couldn't help but smile.

She knew that her and her agent's plan had succeeded.

That's why she plans to work even harder to speak well of all the celebrities.

She didn't intend to think too much about it, nor did she consider whether the logic was right or wrong.

She has only one goal.

Speak up for celebrities!
She's willing to be a die-hard fan of all celebrities.

With this viewpoint in mind, Li Fangfang quickly began to elaborate on her third point of view, which supports the idea that celebrities should receive high salaries.

"Actors and singers face immense pressure and extremely demanding requirements."

"No celebrity can imagine how much pressure they are under."

"For example, when a singer releases a new song, even if the song is very good, there will inevitably be a lot of different opinions."

“Various professional trolls will come and comment on the details with targeted remarks, criticizing whether the song is bad or even questioning whether the singer is suitable to sing the song.”
