My Side Job is a Trader

Chapter 289 Change

In any era, celebrities who play big names are not loved by people. Even if Xia Mo is very popular now, as long as she meets some seniors with high status, she will show her true colors as a traffic star with a vain reputation.

The crew hadn't wrapped up yet, and the Internet was already very lively.

Among them, the focus is on today's delicate and expensive traffic stars, and the one who has been mentioned the most is naturally Xia Mo.

There is a lot of crusade on the Internet. It can be seen that the traffic stars who have been hyped by capital in recent years have indeed done a little too much. Their audience is mostly younger students. Of course, there are also some 30-40 year old Sister fans, aunt fans.

Under the operation of capital, these young handsome men and beautiful women only need to go through a few months of training before they can form a group and make their debut through the draft. This is the mainstream practice of many companies.

During the audition process, depending on everyone's popularity, some artists with many fans will be cultivated by the company. With the support of massive resources, they will eventually become popular traffic stars.

Many traffic stars clearly know their position. They are the company's cash cows. When they get older, they will be replaced by younger traffic stars.

However, with the popularity of traffic stars, in order to maintain their popularity, they also began to get involved in the filming of film and television dramas. In addition, the company behind them is not short of money. They only need to invest some money to get some roles. These people rely on investment to enter the crew People who are also known as "bringing capital into the group", many directors are helpless in comparison, as long as the performance of the play is passable, they just turn a blind eye and close their eyes.

In the beginning, these operation teams were quite self-aware, and only wanted some minor supporting roles. Later, with the rise of online video platforms, some Internet companies also began to get involved in the film and television industry. Although they brought a lot of money, they came with It is the performance appraisal often used in the Internet industry.

For the film and television industry, these Internet companies are basically outsiders. However, because the bosses in this industry are highly educated people, they are self-righteous and often point fingers at the production of film and television works. As a result, over the years, in order to pursue these indicators, film and television dramas have ignored their own quality.

And with the participation of the Internet, as long as a certain drama becomes popular, there will be many movies and TV dramas of the same type following suit, so the homogenization of movies and TV dramas in the market is becoming more and more serious.

Later, in order to increase the ratings of their own film and television dramas, many companies began to use some popular traffic stars to play the main roles.

It was really effective at the beginning. Almost all the film and television dramas filmed by traffic stars became popular, and the capital involved in the investment and production behind them also made a lot of money, so more and more capital began to follow suit.

Strange to say, with the influx of capital, many actors with good acting skills gradually gave way to those traffic stars and took up supporting roles, while more and more famous actors began to take a temporary break as if they had made an appointment. As if to make way for these traffic stars.

After a long time, the audience is not a fool. They gradually began to reject and dislike the more and more similar film and television dramas. There were such signs before, and now such absurd things as heating the pond with hot water, people seem to have found a catharsis mouth, and began to vent their dissatisfaction with the current development of the film and television industry on the Internet.

The operation team behind some traffic stars rushed out to fight the fire.

Moreover, these people are very skilled in this kind of public relations, spending money to block hot searches, and then post some traffic star topics to make the support group top the hot searches.

They are all born in the Internet, so they are very familiar with the Internet. The memory of the Internet is limited.

Xia Mo has also started to keep a low profile in the past few days, she will deliberately disguise when going out, for fear of being targeted by some good entertainment reporters.

Li Shenghua had a special conversation with Xia Mo, the details of which are naturally unknown, but from the internal announcement later, we can know that Xia Mo may have to wait a while if he wants to be promoted to the first-line star, at least until the limelight passes. Only by gathering popularity again can they hit the front line again.

Li Xueer didn't care about these things at all. She brought her assistant Ya Yi and manager Lu Lu to the Beijing Normal University's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" to audition.

Li Guosheng first took a look at Li Xueer, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt satisfied. At least Li Xueer's petite figure fits the setting in the original book that Huang Rong was born in Jiangnan.

"Miss Li, how about this, you try this part of Huang Rong's scene and see the effect."

Li Xueer nodded, took the script and read it, and then signaled Li Guosheng to start.

In just a few minutes, Li Xueer acted out Huang Rong's witty and playful nature.

Li Guosheng looked at Li Xueer, his eyes sparkled, and he decided on the spot to let Li Xueer play the role of Huang Rong.

Seeing that the audition was over, Li Xueer left first, and when the crew interviews were over, she came over to formally sign the contract.

"It's great, it's just Huang Rong herself. I didn't expect such a big surprise in this casting. Although he is a newcomer, his lines and demeanor are very good. It seems that Zhou Wei has a good eye."

Later, the crew finalized some role actors, and then contacted Li Xueer's agent, Xia Lu, to sign the contract.

At this moment, a woman named Ai Xiaoqi came to her door. She wanted to arrange for an artist named Lin Zhenzhen under Jiaqi Film and Television Media to play the role of Huang Rong.

Li Guosheng frowned, and said, "Miss Ai, I'm sorry, I already have a suitable candidate for the role of Huang Rong, why don't you choose an important supporting role!"

Ai Xiaoqi is completely domineering. After all, Jiaqi Film and Television Media is the main investor who supports the remake of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". So according to the unspoken rules, she is the producer of the film crew and has a lot of power. If it weren't for Li Guosheng's status in the industry, even if he, a director, would not be as effective as her.

Ai Xiaoqi was a little displeased, and said, "Didn't you sign a contract with him yet? Even if you signed a contract, you will be in breach of the contract. At worst, our company will pay the liquidated damages for you. What do you think, Director Li?"

Li Guosheng insisted: "No, if you don't want this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" to be the same as the "divine drama" outside, just trust me, can you?"

"No, Lin Zhenzhen urgently needs a film and television drama to consolidate his popularity. I will not make any concessions on this point. I hope that Director Li will not delay the shooting because of a little-known actor."

"Miss Ai, is this a threat to me?"

Li Guosheng is very dissatisfied with these outsiders who always point fingers at random, but for the sake of investment, he suppresses himself as much as possible. Now that Ai Xiaoqi said this, he felt angry.

It's not that Ai Xiaoqi has never dealt with directors before. As long as money makes the way, these directors will eventually choose to compromise. However, I didn't expect that Li Guosheng was really the same as the rumors, with a more rigid personality, almost refusing to give in.

Ai Xiaoqi was obviously a little annoyed, and scolded: "Okay, I hope Director Li will not regret it."

After speaking, he left without looking back.
