Chapter 1471 Letter to Mr. Chen

Everyone agrees with the top-down and bottom-up concepts proposed by Chen Hao. There is no one who is higher or lower, it is just a suitable way of expression.

Movies are popular art, but movies cannot truly become a mass act. Even now in the era of self-media and online dramas are rampant, movies still need the expensive soil they need to survive before they can grow into towering trees.

Music is also a popular art. In terms of cost, it relies more on people's talent. With a guitar or an electronic keyboard, you may be able to create songs that are sung around the world.

In Chen Hao's system, movies can widely solicit creativity from the public, and gather a small group of elite professionals to create. A small number of high-quality products can still provide a large number of opportunities. A movie, from the director to the actors, all know the behind-the-scenes work. It can help a large group of people.

Music comes directly from the folk, giving the vast number of music lovers a stage to perform, and giving you a safe and effective way to move up. Don’t worry about why your original songs are not popular. What we have to do is to create an opportunity for you. This will prevent you from thinking about such problems in the future. Once you are not popular, you can directly look for the reason from yourself. You don't need to make excuses to say that you don't have good opportunities. One song can make a singer famous, and several songs can make a songwriter famous. This requires a wider range of screening to get more works from which to choose.

He can grasp movies with one hand and create a bridge of communication, allowing the East and the West to communicate with each other and exchange their works.

Music is not the case. The influence of a few songs or even dozens of songs is not enough to drive more musicians to come to the stage. They still don't recognize you. Only if they can do it themselves can they really do it.

Taking Lele as the basic platform, it adopts the basic model of Good Voice, with the addition of troupe-type selection for dance appearance, and individual competition. It doesn’t matter if you are a little poor in singing or have no performance ability. As long as you are good-looking and can cultivate dance, Then you can sign up, and there will be a long-term selection and training process to determine the debut group; the original channel is also separated from the singing category. Some contestants have good voices and experience in singing, but these are not the most popular. The important factor is that many singers in this type of talent show have not really emerged. Some singers are just talented, but they are stuck because of their common thinking patterns. In an era of looking at face, we need a way to look at talent without looking at face, even if it is It is a small place and worth owning.

The atmosphere of the 'game' that night was very good. They were all veterans, and they knew very well what the current music scene was lacking. After the young people from the Happy Reunion era came, they saw the company's model of training newcomers, and they were full of confidence in the future. .

Over the years, civilian stage audition competitions have been held countless times, and some popular and capable singers have emerged. However, there are only a few left after settling down over the years. The remaining ones are all tepid and really occupy the spotlight. The kings and queens are still those singers who debuted in the traditional way.

What's wrong?

Many people have considered this question, and some people say that Brother Chun is not a queen now?

To be honest, she really doesn't count. At best, she has maintained her popularity for more than ten years and then gradually gained her own status in the world.

Chen Hao still did not dodge this issue. Strictly speaking, he himself is an artist of this type. After becoming famous as an online anchor, he slowly came to reality. It can be said that he is more "lower" than those talent show singers. In the entire entertainment industry, The circle is the lowest and most disliked group. When the word internet celebrity was mentioned back then, in front of real celebrities and artists, even if they didn’t say anything, fans would set the pace. Internet celebrities are nothing, they are just jumping on the bandwagon. Just a clown.

The example of counterattack has completely eliminated such comments in recent years. Why these people still want to find him in the end is not only his personal influence and strength. This reason is also a very important consideration. What does he know? The model is suitable. He knows what the people who were selected are thinking in their hearts. After the general direction is decided, these are not professional things. They want to hear Chen Hao's opinion.

"Actually, it's very simple. Give them a little more time, a little more accumulation, and the contract for the newcomers should be a little more generous. I personally encourage contracts with climbing clauses to be signed for a few more years, so that the company that signs the contract will not feel like it is losing money. Give newcomers a better and more stable growth environment. In the first two years, the company may throw resources at you, but in the third year, when it recycles resources, it won’t be too harsh. In short, you must find a balance point that both parties agree with. , and the last step is to put an end to using the uncontrollable craziness to make money directly after the program becomes popular. I can’t wait to take advantage of the popularity for two or three months to annoy viewers across the country. Take it step by step, take your time, give them some time to learn, and also give the whole country a chance to watch. The audience has some buffering time, like the students in The Voice, who became famous when the show was broadcast, it may be that they sang one or two songs and were recognized by everyone, and then maybe three or four songs.”

"Can these withstand the daily bombardment of entertainment news? Every day the news comes out about what activities they will participate in, what programs they will record, and the most shameless ones are some tour concerts. They are just to make a fortune and leave. As for these selected singers, then Just fend for yourself, get up as soon as you get up, and no one will recognize you even if you don't get up. Just two or three songs, and if you keep singing them for three or two months, the audience will get tired of them. You have good looks and fans, but how loyal are these fans?”

"In the final analysis, we have a platform and a vast world with talents. Then what is required of us is a little bit of patience and openness. The specific framework is specifically arranged for professional people to build it. Can we all do a good job in supervision? Do we have that? Confidence to make some promises to the chosen ones..."

Finally, Chen Hao threw a multiple-choice question back to everyone. You are all seniors and respectable people. If you come to me, I must give you face. Besides, this is also something I am bound to do as a practitioner, but you I can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. I don't have the energy to take full control of such a big thing. It doesn't mean I have to do it.

Since everyone wants to do it, then it is finalized. If the China Film and Television Promotion Association can achieve success, it must resolutely implement what has been finalized without any discounts. At the same time, we cannot boss you around just because it has become big, let alone use the platform to do some messy things. , if anyone says something unfair about the China Film and Television Promotion Association, and it is well-founded, then investigate it from beginning to end, and show no mercy to anyone.

No system can be perfect. All Chen Hao can do is to take into account the reasons of both sides, take more care of the disadvantaged groups, slowly add to the rest, and slowly repair it in the process of moving forward. Huaxia Film and Television The Promotion Association is doing very well, which also makes the big bosses in the music industry in front of them very confident. They have already pledged their votes at the dinner table. At the same time, they also represent some music companies and brokerage companies in the circle and have done so. A verbal promise.

Among this group of people, a verbal commitment is actually enough. The people above have finalized the direction, and there will be specific staff members to implement the specific plan the next day, and the verbal commitment will be put directly on paper in a very short period of time. It becomes a set of terms that everyone can accept, and then the official launch plan will be launched.

Chen Hao raised the possibility that this time, whether it is Lele, the organizer's companies, or even the future broadcast platform, TV or Internet, they are just investors and have no say in the whole process. Only the right to make suggestions and the entire voice is concentrated in the Chinese Music Promotion Association and is controlled by all members.

Of course, it is impossible to be absolutely fair. Chen Hao has never thought of being absolutely fair. If he can be relatively fair, he will have a clear conscience. In other words, that is his highest goal.

It is good to have lofty ideals, but reality is reality. His smartest thing and the most recognized thing by outsiders is what Chen Yuanping told him since he was a child: "People must know how to be satisfied and what satisfaction is."

I just do things with a clear conscience and get the results I want. The result of pursuing goals that are too lofty is that I will always be faced with opportunities that are far away, that I will never get, and I will always feel that I am within my reach. But I find that you can't touch it all the time.

In the end, Chen Hao did not accept the position of mentor, but he accepted the position of chief producer of the show. He also said that he would pay attention to and participate in the whole process. However, he was busy with time and could not nail it down to one place. The entire framework he I guarantee that there will not be any deviation. If there ever comes a day, it will be the day when he is powerless and will leave the show immediately.

He left the show.

This is a very heavy commitment, and his activities are almost universally watched. Once he participates in a program and gives up halfway in the end, there is no need to ask anything, and there is no need for any information from the outside. The whole world will know that it must have appeared on the program. problem, and Mr. Chen's always good and healthy image will ensure that everyone will target the program immediately.

"Mr. Chen must have encountered unfair treatment and seen unfair things, otherwise he would not have left. The program must be full of moths. Such a program should not exist. Even if we can't control the program, we will. Keep your eyes open, we won’t watch a single program like that, and we won’t watch any news related to the program.”

With Chen Hao's promise, everyone firmly believes that if there is any filthy issue that he cannot solve and chooses to leave, then something like this will definitely happen, which will definitely make the show fall from the clouds to the bottom in an instant, and the result of the show will definitely be It's much worse than Chen Hao's departure.

The meal lasted until eleven o'clock that night. Xiaodi was doing promotions in the United States. Chen Hao was too lazy to go back to the courtyard and stayed in the company directly. When he returned to the office, he planned to walk directly into the lounge on one side and borrow the Under the dim light of the wall lamp, I saw the "Salary Plan" plan placed on the desk. I took a bunch of old-fashioned popsicles from the freezer, turned on the headlight of the office, sat back in the chair, and opened the plan book again.

There is actually nothing to see in this thing. It is all comprehensive analysis data collected by professionals who have compiled the data. All he has to do is to see if he can get his own approval. If he gets it, he will make a decision directly and what will happen next. There will be dedicated people to do it.

In view of the recent interoperability between the East and the West, many countries have participated in it, and a chemical reaction has occurred between currency and film remuneration. China has encountered this kind of thing for a long time. Back then, Jackie Chan and Jet Li had a well-established remuneration in Hollywood. After that, I really couldn’t film after returning to China.

When Jet Li was filming "The Proposal", he was getting a salary of about tens of millions in Hollywood. Of course, he couldn't destroy his worth, so it could only be a friendly performance. Otherwise, the tens of millions of US dollars at that time would be converted into Chinese currency. , it cost more than 70 million. At that time, the investment in this drama was only how much, and it was completely impossible to afford this part of the salary. What's more, Andy Lau was also in the drama at that time. Even if he is not an international movie star, his status in the country is no worse than Jet Li. If someone is worth a lot in Hollywood, it's okay for Jet Li to have a higher salary. If it's really much higher, then Liu Tianwang also wants to save face.

Nowadays, Chinese actors go to Hollywood, and Hollywood actors go to China. This has given rise to a lot of remuneration issues. If you really want Chinese movies to invest in US dollars, you must make the movie ticket prices in the Chinese market in line with the international market. There are too many things involved, and neither Chen Hao nor the entire film and television industry can afford it.

What can be done is one thing that everyone has been advocating: "Don't you think you are strong enough and have traffic? High film pay is mainly based on popularity, influence and appeal. If you think you are strong enough, then Get less remuneration, and the remaining virtual part of the remuneration will be directly calculated into the investment. If the movie is successful at the box office, you may get more share. If the movie does not do well at the box office, you will lose money. This risk is shared by everyone. As the protagonist, the movie does not become popular. It is definitely a problem. You are responsible, which means you are not qualified to receive such a high salary."

Based on this, we formulated a set of plans. Many people actually think that this is very good. It is a disguised investment. However, this investment is not about trusting others, but investing by trusting yourself. It is suitable for directors, men and women. The position of the protagonist can even be a three-in-one bundle, or it can be extended to a five-in-one bundle of two men and two women. If we win, we will all earn more. If we lose, it will be normal for us to be less powerful and get less pay.

The remuneration and value of each film is not determined by someone else for you, it is determined by your own strength.

This sentence is the central idea of ​​the entire planning project, and it is also the best way to deal with the current situation where investments are getting bigger and celebrities and artists are becoming more and more valuable.

After Chen Hao signed the contract, he picked up his cell phone and called Guan Hu: "I can star in the film for zero pay, and all the remuneration will be settled in the form of investment dividends. I think I can set an example."
