Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

As the largest media city in China, Donghai City has countless daily newspapers published on the street every day.At this time, Li Wei was in the chairman's office of the Kirin Group headquarters, watching the briefing about yesterday's Golden Melody Awards made by the assistant's office. Li Wei spent a lot of time reading the thick stack of newspaper clippings.Basically, Li Huiwen's achievements in winning the Grand Slam are the main direction of reports in major newspapers.In addition, Li Huiwen's style is also a favorite of many editors and critics, and the source and detailed price are analyzed one by one.

Of course, Li Wei's appearance also became the focus of the media.Different from attending the award ceremony as an idol or singer in the past, now Li Wei is already a big force in the record industry.With the continuous decline in sales of physical records, the original golden record industry entered the Warring States Period. After continuous mergers and bankruptcy, there are only three record companies left in the world, two of which are headquartered in China, and one Also set up the Asian market headquarters in China.

Huaxia Music Group has always occupied [-]% of the global market share by relying on the male idol group of Smart Office and the female idol group of Pingcross Office; the Universal Music Group headquartered in Citigroup relies on their singers around the world, It has also won [-]% of the market share; although the established Asian Music Group is not as strong as China Music and Universal Music, they also cooperate with another idol training institution-Metropolis Brokerage Company, and they also use a group of old singers Supporting the stage, Asian music also has a [-]% market share.

Although Kylin Music is a rising star, with the joining of popular idols such as Li Wei, Zhou Xiao, Li Huiwen, and Wen Jing, it also cultivated new idols such as EVA, Times Girls, and Miracle Girls, so it also took [-]% of the market.As for the remaining half of the share, it is divided among other large and small music companies or independent record companies.And according to the analysis of many professionals, although Kylin Music Group is a rising star, it has the greatest potential.

Although APEX's transfer to Kirin-related companies has little impact on Smart, after all, although APEX has the title of "National Tiantuan", it has not released an album for many years.Although APEX's singles are still bound to top the weekly charts as long as they are released, the real measure of sales is album sales.

On the annual album list, the top three sales in the past ten years are Storm (Smart Office), DNH36 (Pincross Office) of Huaxia Records, and Firefly Academy (Metropolis Brokerage) of Asia Records.Even if the Kirin Group has released a lot of diamond-selling records in the past one or two years, it is not enough to put it in the ten-year big data.Moreover, the data of the last ten years also shows a problem. The sales volume of Storm has gradually caught up with and surpassed that of DNH36. At the same time, the internal sales data of Firefly Academy also shows that the men's department of Firefly Academy, which was originally the mainstay, began to be replaced by private girls who were born in the form of a girl group. Firefly Middle School catches up with the men's club of Firefly Academy.

"Taking advantage of the momentum of the Grand Slam, the company is planning to plan your 15th anniversary concert. Are you okay?" Li Wei found Li Huiwen and told her about the latest arrangements. "The company will release "Thank You for Listening~[-]th Anniversary Debut Commemorative Album~" for you this year. The company has no plans for sales or awards for this album. It will release a double-disc set completely according to your and fans' ideas. Album. The new songs of the album will be gradually released at your concert, and we will release two works, the album and the live video of the concert, at the end of the year.

To tell you the truth, this is most likely your last work.In the next few years, your singles and albums will no longer be the focus of the company's work. If you are willing to release them, the company will also collect songs for you, but the promotional resources will not be tilted towards you. .Presumably you also understand that your current status has already caused many companies to target us. If you still have ambitions in the music industry, you will inevitably incur retaliation. "

An entertainment industry with a good ecology should have a self-elimination mechanism, but the idol cultivation mechanism leads to the elimination mechanism will actually not work well.If the market in which the entire entertainment industry is located is large enough (such as China and the United States), then it doesn't matter if the self-elimination mechanism is not working well, because the market is large enough to eat.But if the market is not big enough (such as Japan or South Korea), once there is a problem with the elimination mechanism, then the market will go wrong.

To put it simply, why did Kim Jong Kook enlist in the army immediately after winning the grand slam of the three major music festivals?Quite simply, Kim Jong Kook has reached the pinnacle of K-pop, and he has attracted too many resources to himself.If he doesn't leave the pop music scene, what about the junior newcomers?It's like the so-called "tip pinching" in agriculture, which is to artificially destroy the "apical dominance" so that nutrients can be distributed to other shoots.

So when I think of SMAP, do you really think that Keiko Fujishima has to destroy SMAP just because it is not her own power?Grandma and aunt are both businessmen, and they will not struggle with money. The reason why SMAP had to be disbanded was because SMAP absorbed most of the firm's resources. If they continued to exist, then Arashi and the like would never be able to allocate enough resources.This is not SMAP's wish, but TV stations, advertisers and Johnny's must be the first to find SMAP.If all resources are concentrated on SMAP, what will happen to the subsequent teams?Therefore, the final dissolution of SMAP is not only a forced choice of the firm, but also the choice of the entire Japanese idol circle.

Some people will say, why was AKB48 not forced to disband?It's very simple, because AKB48 hasn't blocked the way yet.You can count how many programs Nakai Masahiro and Katori Shingo have to host each week, and how many Japanese TV dramas Kimura Takuya, Kusanagi Goro and Inagaki Goro are starring in, so everyone knows how much SMAP has sucked up the entire Japanese entertainment industry. Resources, and if half of these resources can be allocated to Johnny's other combinations, what will happen to these combinations?So, this is the tragedy of the small market.

Li Huiwen also has this problem in Kylin Music.After all, Kylin Music is not Huaxia Music or Universal Music. Kylin Music can only have one or two main singers a year. If there are too many singers, there will not be enough resources.So after Li Huiwen got the award she deserved, she naturally had to take care of her younger brothers and sisters to the top.

Li Huiwen has figured this out a long time ago. The money she has earned from Kylin Music in the past two years is enough, and the Kylin Group has also designated a follow-up development plan and financial plan for herself. It can be said that Li Huiwen can live even if she retires now. Very moisturizing.For an old singer who has struggled in the music industry for 15 years, Li Huiwen has nothing to lack, which means she has no motivation.So she also decided to transform into a film and television actress and fashion designer after a commemorative concert, and if she releases another record, she will release some songs she likes.

After the Golden Melody Awards, Li Wei began to closely monitor the post-production progress of "Redemption" in the post-production department.Because according to the time, Li Wei is about to release the advance promotional video of "Redemption".The pre-promotional video generally includes the main creative personnel, the concept of the movie, and the elements of the movie.The announcement of movie elements is conducive to the labeling of movies by major movie websites, and after watching the first promotional film of "Redemption", many movie websites have posted three labels of "drama/suspense/crime".Movie sites usually have two to three tags, occasionally four.

Generally speaking, the choice of the first label is relatively limited, and the five labels of drama, animation, documentary, song and dance and comedy are selected, indicating the largest category of the movie.The following tags are cross-selected, trying to summarize the elements contained in the movie.The corners of Li Wei's mouth twitched when he saw that "Redemption" was labeled as "crime" and "suspense".However, the first trailer edited according to my own requirements can only see the actor being sentenced, the so-called heroine being murdered, the actor being imprisoned, and life in prison.In fact, "crime" is a fairly popular label, but without the support of the two labels "action" or "cop and bandit", the popularity of "crime" will drop a lot; now

The most deceitful thing is that there is also a so-called "suspense" label, who knows that the label "suspense" is easily classified into "genre movies" and "cult movies" with labels such as "horror", "science fiction", and "magic" in this category.Mainstream films include commercial films and literary films, while non-mainstream films include independent films, genre films and cult films.Independent films are generally classified into non-mainstream films because of low production costs or lack of reputation of directors. However, there are many styles and themes of such films, and many of them can be classified as mainstream films in the end.But genre films and cult films have really fallen into the abyss of non-mainstream. Not only mainstream theaters and art theaters are insensitive to such films, but the chances of public release are the kind of dilapidated small movie theaters or specialized cult theaters.Or just enter the movie channel, and it's not the flagship channel of the movie channel, it's usually only shown on suspense channels or horror channels.

"Although the movie "Redemption" contains 'crime' and 'suspense' elements, it is not just a suspense movie." Li Wei had to explain a thing or two about his movie on his social media.

However, it seems that not many people paid attention to my explanation, and many people who eat melons said, then you hand over the original film.So Li Wei could only change his clothes in frustration, preparing to participate in the red carpet show of the Academy Awards tonight.

Since Li Wei is already the operator of a film company, the time for Li Wei to walk the red carpet is relatively unpopular.Li Wei was a little dissatisfied after seeing the arrangement, but it was not easy to challenge the organizing committee.It's very simple, I don't have any works to be nominated, and it doesn't matter if the organizing committee doesn't invite me.At the same time, I am not a performer or award presenter, and the media's excessive coverage of me will actually affect the attention of the Academy Awards, so the organizing committee naturally arranged for me to go to the garbage time.

Fortunately, Li Wei's popularity is really high. Even in the unpopular period, media reporters and fans on both sides of the red carpet still gave Li Wei the greatest enthusiasm.However, the question asked by the reporter still focuses on "Real World". Since the release time of "Real World" missed the registration time of this year's Golden Image Awards, "Real World" can only be put in next year.Therefore, the reporter wanted to know how Li Wei felt, and Li Wei smiled and expressed respect for the registration rules of the organizing committee.

After Li Wei accepted the interview in the media area, he quickly walked through the rest of the red carpet, and then went straight to the seat arranged for Li Wei by the organizing committee.Not beyond Li Wei's expectation, his seat is really lonely.

Li Wei shook his head and sat down.Not long after, the main guests of this year's Academy Awards arrived one after another.Many of them were known to Li Wei, so Li Wei stood up to say hello a lot.
