Three days is not a short time, especially for a guy like Tang Zheng who has been suffering for a long time by staying with Tang Xiaoxiao every day. He is careful with Tang Xiaoxiao every day, thinking that he has done a good job, but he never expected that he would still do it. To attract such contemptuous looks and scoldings, it is not enough to teach yourself certain rules in the entertainment industry, and it is not enough to make yourself versatile and good at dancing. You actually need to know how to put on stage and play some tricks when it's time to use Miss Tang. To put it in the original words - I, Tang Xiaoxiao, have not cultivated a little sheep that silently tolerates being bullied by others. If you don’t want to be bullied by others, you can only learn to bully others first.
Three days later, Tang Zheng and Meng Dongxin, a rookie duo in the entertainment industry, basically understood some of the rules of the entertainment industry. Only then did Tang Xiaoxiao let the two of them go with confidence and boarded the train to the northeastern seaside city— Flight from Qinghe City to shoot the MV for this new ep for Yang Man.
Prior to this, Tang Xiaoxiao had already obtained the script and album preview tape of this MV from the company. From a layman's point of view, including the fact that she has never heard Yang Man sing live, Tang Xiaoxiao would feel good about this album. The sound is rustic, with a bit of the shyness of a girl and the infatuation of being in love. , the singing voice is catchy, sweet and fresh, it should be good.
But unfortunately, Tang Xiaoxiao is not only a director and manager, but also a professional musician who started out as a singer. When she became famous, many superstars even asked her to be the producer of their albums. This is what they wanted. A girl idol’s talent, talent and professionalism in music.
To the ears of a professional musician, the soundtrack and editing in this ep are too much, and they are completely superfluous to cover up Yang Man's lameness in singing. Yang Man's voice is a bit hoarse and rough, but he still makes it. She has this sweet and fresh style, and she seems to be a little tone-deaf. Many flaws can be clearly heard in the demo tape of this album, which can only fool laymen and fans.
But no matter how well she sings or the quality of her album, it has nothing to do with her, right? I am just a director shooting a music video. After I finish filming and return the favor, I can just pat my butt and leave. It has nothing to do with me how they want to do it.
When getting off the plane, Tang Xiaoxiao lowered the brim of her hat, wrapped her windbreaker tightly around her, put on her mask again, dragged her suitcase and slowly walked out from the aisle, followed quietly by her personal assistant Xue Xiaohan, and there was no one beside her Take other people with you. The filming this time will only take three to five days to be completed. I don't have to make such a big fuss, making it look like an ancient official patrolling the streets, surrounded by people.
Xue Xiaohan was walking towards the exit while reporting to Tang Xiaoxiao on the development of Deep Blue Software in North America. Tang Xiaoxiao nodded from time to time and expressed his opinions. The two of them traveled quite low-key this time.
Just as the two of them were walking behind, Xue Xiaohan suddenly raised his head and saw a large group of people in front of him, surrounded by a familiar figure who was also walking outside. Outside the exit, there were more than a hundred fans crowding around. The team, holding signs written in Korean, were looking inside eagerly.
"Boss, look in front of you. It seems to be very lively." Xue Xiaohan loves to join in the fun. Seeing such a thing, how could she be left out
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at the Korean text and several posters held by the hundred or so fans, and couldn't help but laugh, "They are acquaintances. You may not remember them, but if Chengzi were here, they would definitely recognize them. It's quite 'unforgettable' to see her. Lee Chan-hee was one of the candidates for Best Actress at the last Asian Television Awards in Seoul, South Korea."
Xue Xiaohan looked at Tang Xiaoxiao with admiration, "Boss, you are so awesome. In my opinion, those Korean actresses all came out of the same mold at once, and you can actually recognize them."
"Khan, I only remembered it because the evening dress on that poster looked familiar." Tang Xiaoxiao said with some shame, "Who can remember what those Korean female stars look like? Except for that wretched uncle Five Entertainment president Li Xiuyin has a distinctive appearance. Apart from me, I can hardly recognize him. The over-developed plastic surgery industry has caused their nation to lose its own characteristics."
Xue Xiaohan nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, Xiaohan, how about we make a bet?" Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled slyly, blinking his eyes as cunningly as a fox.
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao's expression, Xue Xiaohan suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, "Um... boss, what bad idea are you going to come up with again?"
"Hey! Xue Xiaohan, please tell me clearly, what do you mean I came up with a bad idea?!" Tang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said with an unhappy face, "I just want you to understand a fact. The biggest difference between Chinese stars and Korean stars It’s different, do you know where it is?”
Xue Xiaohan shook his head.
"It's very simple. Every time Korean stars travel, no matter where they go, fans must follow them. Otherwise, their super popularity will not be reflected. Especially in places like airports, fans must pick them up. Especially in South Korea, they may think that this can show that they are truly super popular idols. In South Korea, their fans prefer this, but overseas, like South Korea in recent years Celebrities come to China to hunt for gold. Chinese fans are not used to their bad habits. They would go to the airport to pick them up. Unfortunately, they are used to fans swarming around them, so they just Can you think of a way to hire fake fans?"
"Huh?!" Xue Xiaohan opened her mouth wide and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao in astonishment, "No way? You actually hired fake fans?"
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled calmly, "Why not? This kind of thing is a common practice in the industry. When Chinese artists go abroad, if they are not sure that local fans will come back to pick them up, they will also ask South Korea to hire some fake fans. Group. When "Gorgeous Challenge" was promoting in Korea, President Lee Soo-yin asked me if I needed such fake fans to take the opportunity to show off. However, I was more confident in my work, so I refused. According to the price in China, it seems to be fifty yuan per person per hour, plus reimbursement of round-trip travel expenses... In this way, a fan group company with hundreds of people can spend tens of thousands of yuan at most. If planned properly, there may be more If you create a small disturbance, it will be published in a big section of the newspaper tomorrow morning, which is also an investment."
Xue Xiaohan opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and continued to explain, "Compared to the childish behavior of Korean stars, Chinese artists are much smarter. In South Korea, the more fans who pick them up at the airport, the more it represents their popularity, but in China , but the more reporters waiting for interviews at the airport, the more it represents popularity. Fans can hire them for fifty yuan an hour, but reporters are not that easy to fool. So, those Korean sticks The scheming and tricks used by celebrities are too naive compared with Chinese artists."
Xue Xiaohan nodded thoughtfully and raised his thumbs.
As if to fulfill Tang Xiaoxiao's words, Li Canxi and his party who were walking behind Tang Xiaoxiao saw the fans over there and hurried forward. Several thick bodyguards disliked Tang Xiaoxiao and Xue Xiaohan for blocking the way in front, and directly pushed them away. The two people pushed and pushed to the side, and the seventy-year-old man who was also walking beside and carrying a suitcase was also pushed to the side and almost fell to the ground.
Li Canxi, who was walking in the middle, was completely unaware of who she was arrogantly offending
"Old man, are you okay?" Tang Xiaoxiao quickly ran forward and supported the pushed old man with his hand.
The old man in an old gray Chinese tunic suit looked at the Korean stickmen who were walking arrogantly from the side with disgust. He was so angry that he pointed at them without saying a word. All his anger finally turned into a sigh, "These Korean stickmen, In the past few years, given the huge market in China, they have all flocked to China to perform as entertainers, relying on their reputation to be arrogant... They are really a group of uncivilized barbarians!"
For such a cynical old man, Tang Xiaoxiao could only smile and console him softly, "Old man, when you perform your art, you must first sell your virtues. Their virtues will not make a difference in China. It's not worth it for you to argue with such people."
Originally, the old man still had some arrogant thoughts, but when he heard the words "Show your art first, show your virtue", he couldn't help but raise his head, and a hint of admiration burst out from his old eyes, "You are really a good girl. That’s right to the point. My old man likes what he said! It’s well said. Without artistic ethics, there will be nothing!”
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled.
The old man muttered the words "Show your art first and show your virtue". The more you tasted it, the more it made sense, and he left shaking his head.
"This old man, if you give him a hard time, he won't even say thank you." Xue Xiaohan couldn't help but muttered at the side.
Tang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "Xiaohan, do you know who the old man was just now?"
Xue Xiaohan shook his head.
"Xie Kun is a second-generation director in China and an artist of the older generation. Even the top directors in China have to lower their proud heads when they see this old man and respectfully call him "Xie Lao." When you were at the top of the film industry, your mother was still blowing bubbles in her infancy."
"Ah?" Xue Xiaohan stared at the firm and upright figure again, dumbfounded. She really couldn't imagine that such a humble old man, dressed in shabby and old clothes, with a luggage roll on his shoulders, could be so virtuous and respectable.
Tang Xiaoxiao sighed slightly, "This is the older generation of Chinese artists. Their character and talent are equally worthy of our respect. Compared with the glitz and glamor of the current entertainment industry, such old artists are even more precious. .”
"Boss, look, isn't that Yang Man? I didn't expect that she came to Qinghe City on the same flight as us?" Xue Xiaohan suddenly called out and almost applauded, "That... looks like Li Canxi kicked the iron plate It’s up? - South Korea’s Lee Can-xi vs. China’s Yang Man! Boss, guess what, who will win?”
