Chapter 2153 The ups and downs of the entertainment industry

The intrigue in the entertainment industry is much more serious than in other places.

To be honest, many places have the habit of zero-sum games, but in this entertainment industry, this situation basically does not happen.

Under normal circumstances, the artists who can really make big money in the entertainment industry are the top artists.

There is a saying in the entertainment industry that 5% of the people make 95% of the money in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention making money as a group performer, what you earn as a group performer is just hard-earned money, and it may not be much more than what you earn in a factory.

The difference is that as a group performer, you may have the opportunity to become famous and make a lot of money.

This is a key reason why those extras receive very low salaries, but some people still persist for three to five years, ten to eight years.

Therefore, of the cake in the entertainment industry, 5% of the first-tier and super-first-tier superstars will take 90%.

The remaining second- and third-tier characters, and even the supporting characters below, can basically take away 5% of the cake. The remaining group performers account for more than 80% of the artists.

If the group is an artist. And these extras basically share the remaining five percent of the cake.

Therefore, it can be seen from this point that the entertainment industry is a zero-sum game where the winner takes all.

Generally speaking, when comparing the income of second- and third-tier artists with the first-tier and above-tier ones, the gap is much larger than that of the average person.

Therefore, the entertainment industry is actually a winner-takes-all game. If artists are not counted, then producers, bosses, etc. may actually earn more.

For example, the Wang Brothers of Huayi Brothers are one of the more successful examples. Even though Feng Gangpao seems to have made a lot of money, in fact the Wang brothers made most of it.

Of course, the Wang brothers were actually envious of Ye Ming's ability to make money. As the boss of Brilliant Film and Television, Ye Ming's ability to make money has always been envied and hated by many people.

No matter what it is, this shows that the higher you go in the entertainment industry, the more you will make. Therefore, more people in the entertainment industry are sharpening their heads to climb up. If you can climb up, it's a success.

Therefore, sometimes, the entertainment industry is actually a little crueler than everyone thinks, and the intrigues and transactions behind it are much higher than those in the general industry.

Because most people in the entertainment industry are acting people, because most people in the entertainment industry rely on this to make a living, right?

Therefore, the intrigues in the entertainment industry are even more intense. It's just that the darkness hidden under the spotlight will not be exposed casually under normal circumstances.

Zhao Wei sighed on the side: "The current record market is partly occupied by computers, and also these talent shows have poached some resources. Therefore, it is increasingly difficult to make records now." .

Ye Zi, in fact, when we debuted, making records was still very profitable, right?"

This is Zhao Wei's emotion. After all, Zhao Wei is actually a singer, and he is an actor, but he is good at acting and singing. This is a successful route that Zhao Wei has taken.

The first album [Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei] sold 800,000 albums, which is quite a terrifying sales volume for a newcomer.

Of course, it is because of the glory of Princess Huanzhu. The second album is actually Zhao Wei's first pure solo album [The Great Spell of Love].

The first album was actually produced in conjunction with Huanzhugege. The second album is a truly personal album. This album sold 1.5 million copies.

Among them, the love spell, ear piercing, etc. were all very popular at that time.

But it can be seen that the second album actually has the light of Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei.

The third album "Love is Deep and Rainy" sold one million copies, "Love is Deep and Rainy, Farewell Station" is a classic that has been sung for a while.

Now it sounds like these two songs are also very touching. therefore. From these records, it can actually be seen that Zhao Wei is also relatively successful as a singer.

Later, Zhao Wei's and Shangguan Yan's were also very good, but after that, the record market as a whole was not good.

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Wei actually felt deeply. Under such a situation, Ye Ming actually felt quite strongly about this.

Even if Ye Ming releases an album now, it will not be able to achieve the same sales as before.

This is determined by the times. Records do not necessarily die immediately, but physical records are slowly declining. This is absolutely unquestionable.

Therefore, Ye Ming nodded and said: "The development of history is like this, the record market is an example of this, and the talent show market is actually shaped by the times.

If there is a market for those stars who were drafted, it proves that they have merit.

In fact, it proves that these people are indeed making money now.

This is also an important reason why TV stations go to great lengths to create talent shows.

There is no way to stop it. This is the inevitable development of history. "

In fact, even Zhao Xiaodao, to be honest, came from a talent show. therefore. In this talent show, there's no telling which person will be successful in the future.

The first time Zhao Xiaodao rose to prominence in the entertainment industry, it was basically a promotional advertisement for a website with that guy Fan Datou.

A tsundere little beauty named Runan Zhou. Na Ying said unhappily: "What musical attainments can those young people have?

There are a few people who have real talents and learning, but they are all flashy things.

I think back when we debuted, how much hardship we endured and how much time we endured before we had a chance to succeed.

But these young people can achieve the results we achieved in three to five years, or even ten to eight years in two to three years, or even one year.

It’s really hard to see through this era. "

Na Ying In fact, this is a complaint of the older generation of artists. It is really changing from time to time, but I may not be able to keep up with the formal complaints.

This is still a diva of Na Ying's level. Although the talent show and the Internet have an impact on the record market, for an actor of Na Ying's level, the impact is actually not big.

But in such a situation, at this time, it is actually so simple. For those second- and third-tier singers, maybe there are no third-tier singers in the current record market.

Because if the singer is a third-tier singer, basically no company is willing to release a record for such a singer.

Because you will lose money. After all, big stars like Princess Wang, Na Ying and Zhao Wei have a certain fan base. Under normal circumstances, these big stars will not lose money when they release records.

There is no doubt about this. After all, big stars are big stars, and fans alone have strong purchasing power.

But if you are a third-tier singer who wants to be a singer, you want to make a record.

Now it seems that it is not that easy. Ye Ming smiled and comforted everyone and said, "Actually, this matter is not as pessimistic as everyone thought.

After all, times are changing, but we can also change. If the tree is moved, it will die, and if the person is moved, it will live. In fact, this is basically the principle.

I won’t say that everyone will understand this very well. It’s just that it may be difficult for everyone to accept this situation for a while.

We are still the same people, but the entertainment industry is no longer the arena we are familiar with.

This is not a big deal, we will just make certain changes ourselves when the time comes.

Yes or no? There may not be room for us to perform in current talent shows, but maybe in the near future, there will be some variety shows that will be a stage for us to perform.

At this point, I think everyone should look forward and not be so pessimistic. "

Anyway, from Ye Ming's point of view, it's hard for others to say anything about variety shows, but Na Ying later became a relatively big beneficiary of variety shows.

In fact, in the new century, the influence of Na Ying's group of singers has been declining day by day. This is an indisputable fact.

Even Na Ying, the mainland queen of the entertainment industry, is actually slowly declining in influence. It's just that Na Ying's grades were too high and the decline was not so obvious.

But after all, it is in the process of continuous decline. Fortunately, Na Ying also adjusted her mentality in time and participated in the talent show China Singing.

Anyway, with this program, Na Ying once again consolidated her popularity.

Regardless of the rumors that Na Ying acted so domineeringly on this show later. But at least Na Ying is indeed the beneficiary of the talent show.

Therefore, when it comes to such a thing, Na Ying is the kind of singer who knows how to change in the entertainment industry.

It is actually not easy to maintain popularity. This is actually the case. If you move a tree, it will die, but if you move it, people will live.

This is basically the truth. Na Ying didn't know at this time that she would also rely on variety shows to make a comeback in the future.

In a matter like this, there were some problems that Ye Ming couldn't say much about.

Because actually, I don’t want to spoil anything. If there are too many spoilers, it means there is no meaning.

Moreover, Ye Ming himself feels that he may have the opportunity to launch other variety shows.

Because time waits for no one, if some variety shows are not released in advance, it will be a bit embarrassing if the main show is released first.

Therefore, Ye Ming said some words himself, but what he said was somewhat unclear.

If you can understand something, you can understand it. If you can't understand it, it's just that the time has not come yet.

At this point, Ye Ming could only say sorry now.

At this moment, Na Ying said very nonchalantly: "Let's talk about it later, anyway, it doesn't look promising now.

The record market as a whole has no sales, which makes many singers feel helpless.

Nowadays, some singers have switched careers to become actors and hosts.

The purpose is to be able to eat enough and get more opportunities to brush my face. "

This is actually very helpless. After all, the entertainment industry is such a cruel place.

No matter how it is said, at this time, if you can have enough to eat and stabilize your popularity, that is the most important thing to do.

As for some singers becoming actors, hosts, etc., whether this betrays the name of singer is actually not that important at all.

After all, if you can stabilize your popularity, that is the most important thing.

Maybe Na Ying can't hold back that face now. After all, Na Ying is also the Queen of Heaven, as famous as the Queen of Heaven.

Therefore, at this time, the queen actually has the airs of a queen. When the day comes when Queen Na Ying truly lets go of herself, that will be the time for her to make a comeback.

This point is actually that simple.

Change leads to generalization, and generalization leads to change. This is actually an example of this.

Ye Ming frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

After all, there are some things that you should not try to change. There are some things that Na Ying needs to figure out on her own.

The princess is the kind of person who is difficult to understand, but the princess is a maverick, so she has the qualifications to be aloof.

This is not something that other singers can learn.

Therefore, even if the princess did not become a mentor later, her popularity was still no worse than that of Na Ying.

This is also the true influence of top divas. A princess is a princess, one of a kind.

Ye Ming glanced at Na Ying and said, "Sister, the record market is half-dead now. You can't just say that all those singers are starving to death, right?

Therefore, it is inevitable for someone to do other jobs. At this point, we actually don’t have to be harsh on others.

Some things are out of sight and out of mind.

And for some things, even if you see them, you can just pretend not to see them.

It's okay to say these things in private, but if you say it like this in front of reporters, it's easier to offend people.

Although you are not afraid of those people, under such circumstances, it is better not to offend others casually. "

Na Ying is the kind of straight-tempered and carefree person, at least on the surface, she is just like this, a Northeastern girl.

Therefore, in such a situation, Na Ying sometimes spoke with poor attention in front of some reporters.

Some of them really didn't pay attention, and some of them may have done it on purpose.

However, some words, if not said, would offend a lot of people.

On this point, as a friend, Ye Ming still has to advise Na Ying.

After all, friends are friends, and friends also have the obligation to persuade.

Of course, there were some things that Ye Ming tried to persuade. As for whether Na Ying would really listen, it was hard to say.

After all, Na Ying is also a stubborn person. Ye Ming also understands this very well.

I knew that Na Ying had this kind of personality, so I just talked about some things without expecting that Na Ying would definitely listen. (To be continued)
