Relying on love in the entertainment industry

Fang Nan worked really hard.

He spent a lot of time that night, delineating some thematic directions suitable for Hu Menghan.

In fact, album planning has something in common with writing articles or painting. First of all, a theme needs to be delineated.An album can be a narrative novel, a collection of lyric poems, or a short story, but it must not be generally lyric poems, half of which are strange tales.

Unity is very important.

After the theme is determined, you can start to choose songs for this theme, or create songs in a targeted manner.

Because Fang Nan didn't know Hu Menghan's public image and personal information, he searched the Internet and inquired about the other party's personal information, and the focus of the inquiry was her film and television works.

"You Fall in Love with Me on the Bar", "The Magic of the Glass Shoe", "A Moment of Love", "The First Princess"...Fang Nan just clicked on a drama and opened it for 10 minutes, but the reading was not halfway through I couldn't go on struggling anymore, and retreated suddenly.

——What is this all about?

Fang Nan didn't believe in evil, and clicked on another one, but this time he didn't even persist for 10 minutes, and died in battle.

——This girl, what kind of magical stuff did you shoot?

Fang Nan looked at this bunch of scenes that seemed to be excessive PS, and listened to those lines that sounded like a shameful Play, and felt that his outlook on life and the world had been baptized, and he couldn't recognize the world anymore.

Is Hu Menghan really a famous actress?

With such doubts in mind, Fang Nan began to search for a bunch of things—the evaluation of actors and TV dramas, the ratings of TV dramas, the popularity of actors... Then, he felt that his values ​​were challenged again.

In terms of topicality and number of fans, Hu Menghan is indeed a well-known actress, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a popular actress.

But contrary to her popularity and popularity, it is her word of mouth and evaluation of her works.

There are many comments on Hu Menghan on the Internet, but more than 80.00% of them are either black or bad. "Queen of Thunder", "Queen of Mary Sue" - based on Fang Nan's viewing experience of more than half an hour before, these are actually not unfounded attacks.Fang Nan also felt that her drama was quite shocking.

But other than that, a lot of remarks are not bad comments, but to the extent of personal attacks - ugly, plastic surgery, poor personality, exaggerated acting skills - these are no longer attacks, because some more Dirty words have already set off these words, but the words are reserved.

Fang Nan blinked, wondering if the other party and he saw the same person.As far as the experience of meeting during the day was concerned, Fang Nan didn't feel that the girl was as bad as those posts said.

Of course, Fang Nan couldn't say that he knew the actress named Hu Menghan at first glance, so how much of these remarks were true and how much was fiction, Fang Nan decided not to draw conclusions for the time being.

To be honest, Fang Nan felt that he was a bit confused about the situation in the domestic entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, the more popular the works, the more people criticize them. This is normal, and there is no need to make a fuss.But this kind of scolding is based on the huge popularity base of the work, that is, although there are many people scolding, there must be more people who like it.

However, Fang Nan searched for Hu Menghan's works, and found only scolding but no praise on the Internet, but the ratings were surprisingly high, which made people feel very surprised.

There may be three reasons for this: one is that the people who comment on the Internet are not the same group of people who watched it on TV. If so, Fang Nan feels that the taste of mainstream TV viewers in China is really bad; the other is that they are the same group of people .This situation can be divided into two types. The first is that the speaker does not like these TV series, but there are really no other excellent movies to watch, so he scolds while watching; the second is that the speaker really likes such TV series. The subject matter and content, but even so, it is still necessary to criticize and criticize the unsatisfactory parts.

If it's the former, then in terms of ratings, the current survival status of CN's film and television industry is really worrying; if it's the latter, it shows that the mental state of people in China today is very distorted.

Either way, it makes people feel depressed, uncomfortable, full of unsmooth feeling that it is difficult to breathe.

Fang Nan tried to adjust his mentality for a while, and comforted himself: It's just because there are no good works.

In his heart, he always believed in one thing.Regardless of the social environment, people will always pursue the best and most beautiful things, so truly outstanding things will always be sought after and loved.

This kind of thinking is somewhat idealistic, but even if Fang Nan encountered some bad things, Chu Xiting could not change his values ​​after all. He was very firm from the beginning to the end that it was Chu Xiting's fault, not the world. They all showed Chu Xiting's selfish, self-centered, and good at venting anger.

Fang Nan has always been a person who believes in clear rules more than unspoken rules, in talent and hard work more than in tricks and taking advantage of circumstances.

He will never...will never attribute some occasional bad luck and personal mistakes to this society, to innocent people who stand on another side-blaming the darkness of society and the filth of human nature when things go wrong, but in fact People with such extreme feelings are truly dark and dirty.

Fang Nan had seen that ugly appearance before, so she would never let herself become that ugly.

He got rid of all distracting thoughts and began to think about the theme of the album he had chosen for Hu Menghan.

I can't watch the TV series, but I can still take a look at the general story introduction and plot analysis.After a rough scan, Fang Nan roughly understood Hu Menghan's image and role on the screen.

Generally speaking, it is mainly the image of Marysu and Cinderella.

He didn't know what Hu Menghan's current attitude was, whether she wanted the released album to maintain her original on-screen image or better make a breakthrough, so he thought about a few more plans, and prepared to communicate with the other party before finalizing the plan.

The next day Fang Nan went to Wanzhong, and after meeting Hu Menghan and Yan Li, the other party gave him a stack of information about Hu Menghan.In this stack of materials are Hu Menghan's personal information, details of the vocal music courses she is taking, and Wanzhong's investment plan for her album, and the expected return.

In addition, the other party also gave Fang Nan Wanzhong the right to select new songs that are currently in stock and unreleased.These are original songs submitted by some unknown songwriters to Wanzhong, hoping to sell them at a good price. Some of them have already bought the copyright, while the other part is still to be determined.

Of course, if Fang Nan wants to invite other songwriters he knows or doesn't know well, Yan Li is willing to give him this autonomy as long as the budget is not exceeded.

Fang Nan glanced roughly at the information Yan Li gave him, and found that there was no entry about the specific content of the album, so he asked, "What are the requirements for the album's positioning?"

Yan Li said: "Menghan's main fans are boys and girls. We hope that the whole album will be as youthful and lively as possible, or a little sentimental. The most important thing is not to be too adult. There are no special requirements, you are free to play as much as you like."

Fang Nan said: "Do you want to maintain the current image, or do you want to be slightly different from the screen image? I watched some of her TV drama descriptions last night, and I have some ideas in this regard. I need to confirm with you."

Yan Li was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with great interest: "If you maintain the current image, what do you think?"

Fang Nan said: "If you want to maintain the current image, I have a rough idea for the theme of her current works. What do you think of the theme of...'Ai Li is King'?"

Yan Li was taken aback for a moment, and repeated: "Airi is king?"

Fang Nan said: "Didn't I have a general understanding of the types of TV dramas she acted in? To be honest, don't be angry... I think the movies she acted in are quite sua."

Hearing what he said, Yan Li was not annoyed, he just smiled lightly and said, "Nowadays, this kind of subject matter is easy to sell."

Hu Menghan himself said: "This is the truth, and I won't be angry. In fact, Mr. Fang, what you want to say is not that those dramas are very su, but Su and Lei? I think so too. It makes me feel like I'm taking a class to liberate my nature... I feel that after acting in these idol dramas, I won't be able to let go of any drama."

When she said this, her tone was flat, with a shy and soft smile on her face, which was completely different from the image in the play.

Hearing what she said, Fang Nan felt a sense of admiration for her for some reason.

Probably because dedicated people are always worthy of respect.

Hu Menghan continued: "...But it is actually very rare to find a drama that is really good-looking and not bad. On the contrary, it is easier to mass-produce this kind of film that captures a certain itching point of the audience-although I also want to shoot that kind of drama. It is a popular and classic film, but there is no such ability nowadays, so it is quite satisfying to be able to shoot such a drama. After all, food must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step... right?"

Fang Nan nodded in agreement and said, "You are right."

Then he said: "Actually, I don't have any opinions on your TV series. On the contrary, I think 'Su' is a kind of desire that most people have naturally... If a person thinks that a TV series is ugly, then It's not because it's so bad, it's just because it's illogical and not convincing enough."

"Closer to the subject, someone told me before that there are two types of love songs, one is to make the listeners feel emotionally resonated with the singer, and the other is to make the listeners feel that the song is sung to them. If Hu Ms. Your original image of 'Mary Sue' or 'Cinderella' as an entry point, no doubt you should use the first one... that is to let the fans' feelings resonate with you."

"This resonance point is 'being loved by others'."

"So, the theme I set in advance is called 'Love is King'."

"Whether it's the heartthrob heroine or Cinderella, in your plot, the heroine should have the power to dominate the entire plot because she is loved by others, right? Let's not talk about the values ​​it conveys How, I just say that the fans of these dramas should be eager to be 'loved' and then 'gain power' because of it - and this is what they like these dramas and resonate with the heroine."

In this regard, it is only natural that Hu Menghan himself would be attacked as an actor.Fans relate to heroines because they want to be them, not because they like them.But when it is impossible to become the heroine, a large number of people are destined to compare with the heroine and find fault with each other—and the theme Fang Nan chose used this resonance method again.

But songs are different from TV shows.In the song, the image of the singer will be blurred to form a symbol, while the feelings and thoughts will be magnified several times, so it is easier to resonate, and it is less easy to pick details.

"The theme of 'reigning in love' roughly expresses an image of 'because you love me, so crown me as your (female) queen', what do you think?"
