Chapter 456: Chenxi's idol trainee, Jinli's new investment idea
Jinli told the details she had just observed, "Did Chenxi Entertainment recruit more celebrities?"

In fact, many celebrities have come to the third floor in the past, and Sister Fang’s office is at the innermost part. On her way to Sister Fang’s office, she would always meet celebrities who would say hello to her.

But today, at a glance, there were a lot of people standing, and judging from their dress, they were basically all stars.

Sui Lingfang nodded: "You are filming in the crew and you don't know it yet, but the company has changed the first floor since last month and added an exhibition hall for outstanding artists.

The third floor was also modified, the layout of the agent's office was changed, and the upper office floor was rented.

Chenxi Entertainment now has a total of 4 floors available, and the new floors are dedicated to training trainees. The artists you see outside are all new trainees. "

Jinli frowned, "It's not easy to do idol economy. Tianding Entertainment is professional in this area. Chenxi Entertainment probably can't afford it."

Every idol needs to make an initial investment, and music and dance training courses are not cheap.

This kind of training is different from the interest tutoring classes outside. We will specially hire well-known teachers in the industry to provide training, and each class is several times more expensive than the so-called interest classes.

In addition to this, they also have to be promoted before their debut so that they can be exposed.

Only with exposure can they attract the attention of netizens, become their fans, and contribute to voting for their idols' debut.

In addition, if you want to package yourself as a shining star, you need money.

There is a sentence that Jinli still agrees with——

[All the beauty in this world is filled with the smell of money. ]

If you don’t have money, you won’t be able to maintain your beauty, and a person’s most beautiful years only last for a few years.

She has not undergone any medical beauty treatments and does not take much care of her skin, but her skin is still very tender. This is not because she really has a good innate foundation.

It's because she often goes to the Taoist temple to infuse divine power, which will spontaneously help her maintain her beauty and keep her body in the best condition.

She is a special case. Female celebrities in the circle are still quite strict about beauty care.

Even Gong Zitong, who cares the least about her image among the Pink Girls (her regular variety show is an outdoor variety show), will undergo medical beauty treatments every two or three months.

She joked in the group that she was just being lazy and not as diligent as other female stars.

It can be seen that celebrities spend the most on beauty care, after all, they make a living with their faces.

Trainees have to be packaged accordingly before they debut.

——Pretty face, strict body management, and all clothes are from famous brands.

Sui Lingfang sighed softly.

“I mentioned this to the president, but the company has previously invested in several film and television dramas, especially yours, “Assassination,” which brought the company relatively high profits.

The president doesn't want to keep the money and wants to invest it, but the risk of film and television projects is too great. When there is no guarantee that the project will be broadcast, the president does not want to continue investing.

After asking the top management of Tianding Entertainment, he became envious of the idol economy and thought that the profits were huge, so he wanted to learn from them. Aren’t they recruiting people and expanding the venue? "

The company's will will not be changed by individual will.

Since the company had too much money to burn and wanted to spend it, Jinli no longer commented on the matter.

Instead, it was Chen Qin who asked a question very presciently.

"The company has recruited so many trainees, so they must adopt an elimination system. The training of trainees is very cruel, and it would be good if half of them can stay next year.

But Sister Fang, if the company wants to push the remaining trainees to debut, does that mean Jinli should lead them? "

Xiao Cheng immediately agreed: "Sister Fang, this won't work. Sister Jinli is already very tired from running announcements and studying every day."

Sui Lingfang's expression became serious. "Don't worry about this. When the president wanted to be a trainee, I repeatedly emphasized to him that I would not let Jinli and Xi Mengze bring people."

She changed the subject: "The president also said that he just wanted to give it a try. If the trainees can't get a good spot on their own, then forget it. He won't bother Jinli and Xi Mengze because of this."

Jinli was thinking in her heart, to be honest, if Chenxi Entertainment really asked her to take care of some newcomers, she wouldn't mind taking care of them as long as it didn't affect her schedule and life.

Isn’t it just about bringing someone to some activities, letting the newcomer get to know other people in the circle and show off his/her face? What’s so difficult about that?
She won't tie the newcomers together with them on a variety show just to promote them.

On the contrary, Chenxi Entertainment's indifferent attitude towards newcomers made Jinli feel that they could not succeed.

You recruit people as trainees, give them resources, and paint a pie called "dream", but you don't give them channels to break out. How do you expect them to make a name for themselves?
Before the Pink Girls group became popular, they participated in several music-related announcements, appeared on various radio programs, and attended various small events.

Although the level of these exposures is very small, they are still exposures after all.

Jinli thought about it and said, "If the company needs my help to lead the artists, I can take them to participate in some brand activities, which is easy for the brand to talk to."

In many first-tier luxury brand brand activities, not only first-tier stars can participate, but many second- and third-tier stars can also be squeezed in by spending money through their companies.

Moreover, first-tier celebrities do not only participate in first-tier luxury brand events.

First-tier celebrities will also attend events organized by well-known second-tier national brands and third-tier brands that are gaining momentum and spending a lot of money, but the announcement fees for participating in such events will be higher than those for first-tier luxury brands.

But she has several brand endorsements, so she can bring in newcomers if she wants to, without paying any money.

These resources are also resources, Jinli thinks they don't need to be wasted, it's just a matter of convenience.

"As for variety shows, I think it would be better for the company to invest in them, so that the trainees can show up on variety shows and the trainees won't be without any channels for exposure."

Sui Lingfang smiled, shook her head and said, "Jinli, you are still too kind."

Jinli said calmly: "I just think that some things are not as serious as you think, and it's good to make a good relationship."

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and said, "I will tell the president about your idea, but your schedule is very tight. Don't even think about bringing in new people this year or in the first half of next year."

"You will be filming "My Life of Mediocre and Inaction" next week. You have been stuck in the crew and can't spare any time. After filming, you have to prepare for the college entrance examination and stop all announcements. So until the college entrance examination results are out, I will not arrange any announcements for you."

"As for the investment variety show you mentioned, I will give the president some key feedback."

Sui Lingfang thought about it and sighed.

"But I think he probably won't make a big investment. The feedback from the film and television industry is too slow. Variety shows need to be monetized through advertising, which becomes even more difficult when the economy gets worse."

"Moreover, variety shows are all about making money now. Everyone wants to invite popular influencers or celebrities to participate. Trainees are just amateurs. Even with the investment from Morningside Entertainment, it would be hard to get in."

This problem is actually very easy to solve. Let Chenxi Entertainment invest heavily in a variety show and gain the right to speak in the variety show.

As an investor who needs to be supported, he can put in any artist he wants, even if they are all amateur trainees. However, it is obvious that Chenxi Entertainment is worried about the return of the film and television sector and is unwilling to put in much effort.

Instead, an idea suddenly flashed through Jinli's mind, "Does the company have any related variety show investments? I'll invest in one?"

"You want to vote?"

Sui Lingfang looked at her in surprise, then shook her head.

"No, Chenxi Entertainment is not specialized in investment after all, so no one has offered us variety shows. But the company's public email address for film and television dramas always has some film and television drama investments that want to get our favor."

Chen Qin muttered, "Then it seems that Chenxi Entertainment's investment in film and television dramas is more promising. After all, the company's reputation has spread, and many people know that Chenxi Entertainment also invests in some film and television dramas, so they come to recommend themselves."

"The company suddenly switched to promoting idol artists, and the trainees had no exposure and no channels. They could only rely on Tianding Entertainment for support. They even had to figure out the training program for the trainees. It was too difficult to create something from scratch."

Xiao Cheng: "There are talent shows. They should be able to handle so many trainees. I heard that some talent shows last year couldn't even get 100 trainees and had to ask staff to fill in."

Chen Qin shook her head: "It's hard to say. Haven't you noticed that there are fewer talent shows this year? At this time last year, there were already four or five, and they were all very famous."

"But this year, only one was released, and it was urgently stopped before it even entered the finals. It was said that fans just wanted to vote for their idols by simply reading the QR code on the bottle caps and pouring a lot of drinks and milk into the sewer. The waste was serious, so it was not broadcasted."

Xiao Cheng is not a fan of celebrities, so he doesn't know about this, and even Jinli doesn't know.

Jinli asked curiously, "So it really wasn't broadcast?"

Chen Qin spread her hands, "Not only was it not broadcast, it was cancelled the day before the finals. Fans worked so hard to get their idols to debut, but in the end, it wasn't even broadcast. I don't know if we can get the money back. The big brand sponsors may even sue the program team for breach of contract."

What is the talent show economy?
That’s fan economy in its purest form.

Before idols debut, fans raise money to vote for them and reap the benefits.

In the finals, we will compete live and win again in that intense and exciting environment.

Hey, don’t think that the talent show is over and the talent show economy is over.

The idol team selected by "fan voting" can also get sponsored brand spokespersons, and then use their faces crazily on various platforms to attract fans to buy products, thereby making another profit.

Brand endorsement is not the end. Since they were selected through voting and hard work, they must have strong popularity behind them, so they will hold various concert tours to continue to reap the benefits.

When they hold a concert, you can tell whether this idol group is the real deal.

After a few concerts, I can start making my own variety shows.

Everyone has already thought about the content of the variety show, traveling somewhere, speaking their minds, saying goodbye to teammates who have been in the group for a year, and saying goodbye to their youth.

It’s so tear-jerking just thinking about it.

Fans love watching!!!

Insert advertisements into variety shows and make another profit.

Under this model, idol teams that come from talent shows only lose fans for one year, which is considered merciful. They can at least lose fans for two years.

Those who can cut for that long are truly very popular.

Most of the members of those idol groups that have been unable to make any progress after a year were pushed to debut by fake votes.

In those days, there was a girl group that was very popular. There was a girl with single eyelids. It was revealed that the company spent 40 to 50 million yuan to help her get on the charts. As a result, after the one-year group period ended, the investment was not even recovered.

So sisters, whether those idols from the talent shows back then were really popular or just faking it, time will tell you the answer.

Sui Lingfang said: "In fact, since the beginning of the year, there have been rumors that the policy will be tightened. This year, the number of talent shows filed has been cut by more than half compared to last year, but there are still more than a dozen. As a result, the food waste was exposed this year, and all subsequent talent shows were aborted."

"I have three talent shows that invited Jinli to be a mentor. I haven't responded to them yet, and they told me that the show has fallen through."

After chatting, she started talking about business.

Let’s first solve the problem of co-branded products, start the process of negotiating contract terms, and then talk about subsequent announcements.

Jinli's current schedule is quite simple. She will join the crew of "My Mediocre Life" next week. By then it will be December, and she will be filming in the crew until the Chinese New Year next year.

During this period, brand activities can be pushed forward, but some important anniversary activities cannot be pushed forward, and Jinli must participate.

But this is also easy to say. Many activities are held on weekends, and the crew usually gives celebrities a day off on weekends and does not shoot.

Of course, if the crew has to work overtime, it’s hard to say.

However, Sui Lingfang has great confidence in Jinli. Jinli's role as a supporting actress will not affect the filming progress of the crew.

But if you play the leading role, your role should go smoothly and you can basically have weekends off.

Speaking of the crew, Sui Lingfang mentioned the release schedule of "Dawn".

"Originally, Dawn was supposed to be released during the Spring Festival next year, when the box office would be very likely to explode, but the filming schedule is a bit behind schedule, and I'm afraid it won't be finished by the end of December, so it will have to be filmed until January next year."

“No matter how well the director and the special effects team work together, it is impossible to complete the production within a month, not to mention the various reviews and filings that need to be done during this period, so this film is very likely to be pushed to the Spring Festival next year, or the summer or National Day schedule next year.”

Sui Lingfang asked Jinli: "If it is postponed to the year after next, then you will probably only have one TV series online next year. After you finish the college entrance examination, in order to maintain your exposure, how about participating in more variety shows?"

Jinli thought about it and shook her head: "After taking the college entrance examination, I want to rest until the results come out. I'll see then."

Sui Lingfang said simply, "Okay."

It is now the end of the year, and various year-end selections are in full swing, with awards of all sizes coming in one after another.

But Sui Lingfang didn't plan to let Jinli participate.

If I want to participate in the year-end selection, I'm afraid I won't be able to find time to film, so I have to make a choice between the two.

However, the year-end selection will continue until after the Chinese New Year next year, and many platforms will hold annual festivals for film and television dramas in March. Jinli can go to participate after finishing filming "Yonglu" at that time.

You can choose not to go to the small platforms, but you still have to go for the bigger prizes.

"Finally, regarding Cat's Claw Live, I told the person in charge that you would personally attend the meeting tomorrow. The person in charge was very excited. Then I asked him whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He was willing to tell me some news this time, saying it was a very good thing, but he refused to say anything more specific."

Jinli smiled and said casually: "For me, it would be a great thing if they could turn the 'Knowledge Planet' section into an independent APP."

The fan titles and book recommendation activities in the book club are still ongoing~
