What Chen Minhao said was not to flatter Kang.
But Chen Minhao felt that he had recognized a different Kang Hui.
Chen Minhao carefully recalled the past. Although Kang Hui often talked about money, what she did basically did not involve money. Instead, it was entirely to fulfill her ideal: to turn her artists into global superstars.
Kang Hui is still under a contract with Shenmeng Agency, which means that Kang Hui's income is linked to the performance of her artists. In other words, the more money Chen Minhao makes for the company, the more money Kang Hui will make. many.
But whenever Chen Minhao's interests conflicted with the company's interests, Kang Hui stood by Chen Minhao without hesitation, because Chen Minhao represented the possibility of realizing her ideals.
In a sense, Kang Hui is not a good employee or a professional workplace manager. She mixed too much of her own personal emotions in her professional work. This emotion is of course poison to Zhang Jianzhang, but to Chen Minhao, this emotion is not honey, but a double-edged sword.
For Chen Minhao, if he sets up his own independent studio in the future, and Kang Hui remains his manager, if his goal has always been to move closer to the goal of becoming a global superstar, the two of them can go hand in hand. But one day Chen Minhao changed his mind, and Kang Hui might have separated from him.
But it was not until this moment that Chen Minhao truly identified Kang Hui as his future core team. Because although Chen Minhao doesn't say it, his goal is to become a global superstar.
This road is difficult, so Chen Minhao needs a team to stand behind him to support him. Kang Hui is very capable, but not the strongest. Kang Hui is kind to him, but there are many ways to repay his kindness.
You can't be selfish as a person, but ideals are selfish things. Sometimes if you don't spend every penny, you will miss it by a thousand miles. The ideal is defeated, but there is no starting over in life.
Chen Minhao was thinking about the future, and Kang Hui was silent. She felt that she was touched by Chen Minhao's words: "People with an idealistic core live a refined egoistic life." No one has ever done anything to her. Such an accurate and objective evaluation.
Chen Minhao was the first to break the silence and said: "As for the Chinese music scene, no matter what we do, it is better than nothing. I hope that because of my existence, I can inject new vitality into the music scene."
Kang Hui nodded and said, "Okay. I hope we can bring some positive influence. But having said that, after you won the two Golden Melody Awards, you have almost risen from the second tier to the first tier."
Chen Minhao took a sip of coffee and asked: "Sister Kang, how are the first, second, and third lines you often talk about divided?"
Kang smiled back and said: "This is just a rough distinction people make based on celebrity popularity, and there are no very strict boundaries. Compared with this classification method, I prefer another current professional classification method-artist life cycle theory.
The first stage of an artist is that of an idol, which means the artist is well-known, popular, and has his or her own core fan base. You were probably at this stage in "Artist Producer".
The second stage is traffic stars. Compared with idols, one of the distinguishing characteristics of traffic stars is that they have left the village. In other words, they have broken through the circle and become familiar to the public, and they have become topical and have greater commercial value.
After "Bing Di Lian" and "The Best of Us" aired, you probably became a traffic star. Follow-up Paris Fashion Week, college entrance examination results, Burberry posters and other hot topics are just adding bricks and mortar, and they cannot make you reach the next level and become a superstar.
The third stage is superstars. Generally speaking, traffic stars have their own masterpieces through transformation. They no longer need to rely on fans to drive box office and ratings, and can withstand the test of the market.
At present, you are still far away from top-level traffic. In terms of film and television, you have no representative works that can stand out.
In fact, the transition from the second stage to the third stage of superstardom is an insurmountable gap for many traffic stars. It is easier said than done to have one's own masterpiece. Masterpieces can be found but not sought.
Especially now that there are so many opportunities to make quick money, few traffic stars are willing to sit down and polish their works. After all, time is money to them. So, when you suggested that you go to college to study acting specifically, I was very pleased.
The term traffic star is fluid. No one will always be a traffic star. There will always be fresher talents. Therefore, there are not a few traffic stars who want to transform, and few of them succeed.
Because people who are not in the fandom nowadays have a natural repulsion towards people who are labeled as popular celebrities, and subconsciously reject the movies they appear in and the music they sing. Therefore, except for Burberry and a few big sports brands, I basically don’t let you accept advertisements. At the same time, I am particularly restrained in your fan behavior because I am afraid that passers-by will regard you as a traffic star.
But now that your fan base has grown, management costs have skyrocketed, and the inflated comments of passerby fans and prostitute fans may make all our previous efforts in vain and make you no different from other traffic stars.
In short, you need to come up with some masterpieces in film and television as soon as possible to stop others' mouths. Your audition for "The River Flows Quietly" stirred up many people's nerves. I guess they might make a fuss about a singer who doesn't sing well and comes to the film and television industry to act. Therefore, no matter what, we must win the next one for "The River Flows Quietly" and "Detective" to prove that our music is great and our performances are also good. . "
Chen Minhao said confidently: "Don't worry, from the time I found a teacher at China Drama in January to now, it's been almost a year, and I haven't had a single day of dawdling."
Kang Hui chuckled and said, "That's good. By the way, when your movie comes out next year, you can release a good quality album, and your base will be stable."
If everything goes well by then, it would be nice to make another movie in which you are the protagonist. In this way, when the movie is broadcast and your popularity is relatively high, we will leave the company to open an independent studio, and then we will be able to take on new work. "
Chen Minhao nodded and asked, "Sister Kang, have you told Mr. Zhang that I want the music management business to be independent?"
Kang Hui rubbed his head and said: "I haven't seen him in the past few days, and I haven't spoken yet, so I haven't had time to talk to him, Mr. Zhang. But it's okay, you don't have to worry, I'll take care of this matter On the body."
Chen Minhao has always been more confident in Kang Hui's working ability. After all, Kang Hui said that if he wanted to eat peaches, she would find a way to pick them.
Chen Minhao had classes in the afternoon. After paying for their coffee, he went back to school.
On the way back to school, Chen Minhao's cell phone rang, and it was a number that he had never recorded. In order to avoid Huang Feifei's own incident from happening again, Chen Minhao answered the phone.
"Hello, Xiao Chen. I'm Lu Huiping. Tomorrow is the weekend. Do you have time? Let's come out and chat."
The artist life cycle theory is not completely original and is based on some opinions on the Internet.
