Chapter 259 Artist Life Cycle Theory

Chen Minhao's words were not for flattering Kang back.

Instead, 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. It was entirely to practice her ideal: to make her artist a global superstar.

Kang Hui is currently still signing a contract with Shenmeng Brokerage Company, 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 makes. many.

But whenever Chen Minhao's interests conflicted with the company's interests, Kang Hui would always stand by Chen Minhao's side 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. For Zhang Jianzhang, this kind of emotion is of course poison, but for Chen Minhao, this kind of 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 being a global superstar, the two can walk hand in hand. But when Chen Minhao changed his mind one day, then Kang Hui might be at odds with him.

But it was not until this moment that Chen Minhao truly identified Kang Hui as his core team in the future. Because although Chen Minhao didn't say anything, his goal was the same as the 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.

One cannot be selfish in life, but ideals are selfish things. Sometimes if you don’t compare pennies and pennies, you will miss a tiny bit and make a huge difference. The ideal is defeated, but life does not start again.

Chen Minhao was thinking about the future, and Kang Hui remained silent. She felt that she was touched by Chen Minhao's words: "People with idealism at the core have become refined egoists." No one has ever done anything to her. Such an accurate and objective evaluation.

Chen Minhao took the lead to break the silence, and said: "For the Huaxia 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 two Golden Melody Awards, you have almost risen from the second-tier to the first-tier now."

Chen Minhao took a sip of coffee and asked, "Sister Kang, how do you divide the first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier you often talk about?"

Kang smiled back, and said: "This is just a general distinction people make based on celebrity popularity, and there is no very strict boundary. Compared with this division method, I prefer another current professional division method-artist life cycle theory.

The first stage of an artist is an idol, that is, the artist is well-known, popular, and has his own core fan base. You are probably at this stage in "Artist Trainee".

The second stage is traffic stars. Compared with idols, a prominent feature 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 have topicality and greater commercial value.

After "Bindilian" and "The Best of Us" are broadcast, you will probably become a traffic star. Follow-up Paris Fashion Week, college entrance examination results, Burberry posters and other hot spots are just adding bricks and tiles, and they will not make you a superstar.

The third stage is superstars. Generally speaking, traffic stars have their own masterpieces through transformation, no longer need to rely on fans to drive box office and ratings, and can stand the test of the market.

At present, you still have a certain distance from the top traffic. In terms of film and television, there is no representative work that can be achieved.

In fact, from the second stage to the third stage superstar, for many traffic stars, it is an insurmountable gap. It is not easy to have one's own masterpiece, masterpieces can be met but not sought.

Especially now that there are so many opportunities to make quick money, few traffic stars are willing to calm down and polish their works. After all, time is money to them. So, when you suggested that you would go to college to study acting, I was very pleased.

The word traffic star is fluid, no one will be a traffic star forever, there will always be fresher little fresh meat. Therefore, there are not a few traffic stars who want to transform, and almost few succeed.

Because people who are not in the fan circle now have a natural rejection of people who are labeled as traffic stars, and they subconsciously reject the movies they star in and the music they sing. So, except for Burberry and a few big sports brands, I basically don’t allow you to accept commercials. At the same time, I am very 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 is large, the cost of management has increased linearly, and the inflated speeches of passer-by fans and prostitute fans may make us waste all our previous efforts 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 plug other people's mouths. You have to audition for "The River Quietly Flows" which has stirred up a lot of people's nerves. I guess they might think that a singer can't sing well, so they come to the film and television industry to make a fuss about acting. So, no matter what, we have to win "The River Quietly Flows" and "Detective" to prove that we have great music and good performances. . "

Chen Minhao said confidently: "Don't worry, it's been almost a year since I found the teacher of Chinese opera in January, and I haven't wasted a single day."

Kang Hui chuckled, and said, "That's good. By the way, when your movie is released next year, you release another album with good quality, and your foundation will be stable.

If things go well by then, it would be nice to be able to make another movie where you're the main character. In this way, when the movie is broadcast, when your popularity is relatively high, we will leave the company to open an independent studio, and then we can take on new jobs. "

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 tell him Mr. Zhang. But it's okay, you don't have to worry, it's up to me body."

Chen Minhao has always been more confident in Kang Hui's ability to work. After all, Kang Hui said that if he wanted to eat flat peaches, she would find a way to get them.

Chen Minhao still had class in the afternoon, and after paying for the coffee for the two of them, he went back to school.

On the way back to school, Chen Minhao's cell phone rang, and it was a number that had not been noted. In order to avoid Huang Feifei's oolong incident from happening again, Chen Minhao still picked up the phone.

"Xiao Chen, hello, I'm Lu Huiping, tomorrow is the weekend, do you have time? Let's come out and chat."

The artist's life cycle theory is not completely original, and borrows some sayings from the Internet.
