Relying on love in the entertainment industry

Generally speaking, most of the so-called insiders on the third-rate gossip media are not credible. They are nothing more than a gimmick, trying to give people the illusion that the source of the news is reliable.

This has been the practice for many years, and both the public and the media themselves have almost turned a blind eye to such rhetoric.Generally speaking, unless all kinds of entertainment news are accompanied by strong and effective evidence that cannot be denied, most people and even fans seldom really believe such reports-they have a scale in their hearts and decide how much they like it. A certain piece of news, believe it to a certain extent.

So in the face of such news, Yan Li shouldn't be so angry in the first place.

But he had to be angry.

Because this news is actually not fake news.

Wanzhong has always had such a tradition. After the singer's album is recorded, it will go through a very thorough post-tuning to ensure that they at least "sound" can still be passable.

On this point, most people in the industry and some movie fans are well aware of it. After all, Wanzhong has no professional singers at all since the beginning of the album. The general album is not so much a music album, it is better to say that it is not a general filming album. fan benefits.

Singers know that their singing skills are not top-notch, and fans also know that idols' singing skills can only be regarded as passable at best, and they are just willing to fight and suffer.

If they can't sing well, they'll be fans of them. If they sing well, it's a surprise that exceeds expectations. In short, no matter what, it's time to follow the stars.

This is also the reason why Hu Menghan's record is so sensational...because her performance, or Fang Nan's performance in this album has far exceeded many people's expectations.

It’s as if a mother who spoils her child too much hears that her child is going to cook, and expected to be moved by a plate of half-burnt scrambled eggs, but unexpectedly, the child seriously brought out a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs that are suitable for sweet and sour... …a surprise that exceeds expectations will inevitably cause the mother to overreact and give too high an opinion.

So are the fans.

In the past, Wanzhong was not very good at arranging and writing lyrics. On the contrary, post-tuning is the real skilled work for the music department.And Fang Nan has filled the gap of Wanzhong very well, allowing the abilities of both parties to play a huge role in Hu Menghan's album.

This is probably also the best result Wanzhong has achieved since it started to get involved in music.

But even after post-processing, Hu Menghan's album is indeed from the original sound, it must not be said to be a fake, at most it can only be said to be beautified - except for herself, even Fang Nan and her fans are not right How much hope is there for her singing skills, as for her own unrealistic dream that she thinks she can impress the audience with her own strength--little girls always have the right to dream, maybe she can really impress fans if she insists on it for ten years...or Acknowledge reality and no longer indulge in false dreams.

It depends on her future efforts.

But no matter what, Hu Menghan's current album is very successful, so successful that a lot of scripts have been delivered to her, and many singers or artists who have been invited to sing by Fang Nan have appeared overnight.

Under such circumstances, the news that Hu Menghan's album was fake was really a headache for Yan Li.

The recording of the album is not a fake, but it is almost impossible for Hu Menghan to prove that he is the real singer - because for the sake of the album effect, most of Wanzhong's albums are recorded line by line. The different requirements of the album, and the degree of post-packaging are also different, but no matter what... It is really difficult for an actor who can barely record an album to sing live.

Movie fans are irrational, they always expect their idols to be perfect and flawless.They are sometimes tolerant, sometimes harsh, unpredictable, and very instinctive.

Under such circumstances, performing arts companies usually default to the premise that "idols are perfect". Even if Hu Menghan is not perfect, the company must create a perfect image for her.

In this case, it is definitely impossible to directly tell fans that Hu Menghan does not have the ability to sing live.

This dumb loss, Hu Menghan and Wan Zhong had to eat it.

Yan Li was very angry about this. He firmly believed that this incident was someone deliberately targeting Hu Menghan. The only question now is where the targeting came from, whether it was inside or outside the company.

Therefore, on the one hand, he asked the public relations department to launch a crisis public relations plan, try to find ways to reduce the popularity of the topic, and change the trend of public opinion. On the other hand, he began to find some relevant studios to track and analyze the source of the news in private, so as to find out the object of the disturbance.

While Yan Li was busy investigating the lip-syncing incident, Fang Nan had already started preparing for the new job.

Leaving aside the invited songs from the crew of "Listen to Summer", Fang Nan's most important work at present should be the planning of Gallo's album.

If you count the experience in SN, Gallo's album should actually be regarded as his second album.The first album is an English album, the title is called "SkyRacing", and it is an all original music album.

Gallo's album did not sell well or badly on SN.He is also considered a rookie in SN, but the new album is not sold very well due to various reasons. targeted.

The Li family is a well-known capitalist in SN and several nearby countries.Gallo's grandfather started to get involved in electrical appliance manufacturing and electronic retailing when he was young. By Gallo's father's generation, he had basically opened stores under his name all over SN, and even spread all the way to several nearby countries.

They are a well-known Chinese capitalist family in SN, but the Li family never considered getting involved in the entertainment industry from the very beginning. Powerful, if you can’t get out of it, just go home and eat yourself” attitude, strictly upholding the principle that you can give money if you want it, but you can’t open a way for the family, let Gallo fend for himself.

Because of this, after weighing the gains and losses, Gallo resolutely carried his bag and returned to CN with Fang Nan.

He always felt that in SN, when some people looked at him, the hostility, envy, jealousy and hatred were almost overflowing.

In terms of work, Gallo is completely different from Hu Menghan.

If we talk about the difference, the most important thing is the gap between Gallo himself and Hu Menghan in terms of professional quality and basic ability.Hu Menghan knew almost nothing about vocal music, but Gallo began to take voice courses at a very young age, and also majored in music in college.

He has released records and sung live, so he naturally has his own views on album recording.So even if Fang Nan becomes his producer, it is completely impossible for him to make decisions for him in all aspects like he did for Hu Menghan—Gallo must have a complete vision for his album in his heart.

This requires them to negotiate first and then reach a consensus, otherwise the subsequent work will only get twice the result with half the effort.

But before that, Fang Nan followed Jia Luo to meet Chu Xiting again.

This time Chu Xiting took them to visit the main facilities of NJSTAR headquarters and their future work area.In fact, Fang Nan was very familiar with this building, but he also discovered many details that he did not know. Some of them may have been blurred by memory after a long time, and some may have been redesigned later. and decoration.

When Fang Nan came last time, he had already met several key management members of Nanji Star, but not as many as this time.In addition to the management, there are also employees of related departments that the two will have direct contact with later, such as the music production department, the secretarial and public relations department, and the props department, etc.

On the way, Fang Nan even met an old man who was very familiar with him and worked in the company when his father was still in charge of Nanjixing.

Every time Fang Nan saw someone he knew before, he would feel a little nervous. Fortunately, as time passed, the memory of the other party may have blurred a lot. No one recognized Fang Nan as the young and introverted Fang Qing when they were face to face. Sincerely.

While Fang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little bit lost.

He thought he didn't show his disappointment on the outside, but unexpectedly, after Chu Xiting glanced at him, he asked his assistant to buy back a big bag of hot and cold drinks a minute later, and the assistant distributed the hot and cold drinks to everyone However, Chu Xiting brought a cup of hot coffee by himself and handed it to Fang Nan.

Fang Nan was stunned, but heard Chu Xiting say: "Is it a little tired after seeing so many people? It doesn't matter if you can't remember the people, just remember the place. The colleagues' words will naturally come together."

Fang Nan hesitated for a moment, but still took the coffee handed over by the other party.

But until the end, he just held the cup of coffee and never took a sip, as if that would prove that he was actually not willing to accept Chu Xiting's benefits at all.

In the end, Chu Xiting looked at the cold coffee that had been left untouched in a corner of the office, but even his expression turned cold.

After returning home at night, Gallo was surprised to find that Fang Nan had been in the bathroom for a long time.The sound of the water inside repeated many times, but Fang Nan never finished cleaning it up, which made Gallo a little puzzled.

Gallo walked to the door of the bathroom and found that the door had not been closed, but only half-opened. He reached out and knocked on the door lightly and symbolically, and asked, "Can I come in?"

After the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, Jia Luo heard Fang Nan say: "...Come in."

After Gallo went in, he found that Fang Nan was lying on the recliner next to the miniature bathtub, his face was wrinkled as if he had been half-disfigured, and it seemed to be covered with a badly applied mask.

It doesn't look good like that.

But when Gallo saw his appearance, he was obviously happy and asked, "Are you going to change your skin tonight?"

Fang Nan said: "It's less than a month, and it can be used for a few more days. But isn't it going to work at the South Pole Star? I'm afraid I won't have time to clean up and let my skin breathe, so I want to change it first."

Gallo asked: "Didn't it mean that this thing is not only waterproof and breathable, but also can be used for up to two months?"

Gallo remembered that Fang Nan told him before that this kind of simulated skin is not only almost non-existent in thickness, but also has a water-permeable and breathable texture. It is also made of green fiber material, which does no harm to the skin. It even imitates pores and facial hair. this kind of thing.Generally speaking, as long as you are not particularly sensitive, you will not feel abnormal even if you touch it directly with your fingers.

The filler used for facial shaping is also in the form of holes, which will not cause the skin to fester due to long-term airtightness, but it is more troublesome to clean, requiring a special water massage device to rinse.

Fang Nan said: "No way, it's summer now. No matter how hype he talks about the cleaning device, wearing a mask for a month still makes people feel very uncomfortable."

Saying this, the fake skin on his face was almost softened by the potion, Fang Nan stretched out his hand and slowly lifted it off.

As the mask was lifted off, Gallo saw Fang Nan's real face under the fake skin, which was covered by white filling material, which rose and fell from time to time.Those white fillings are a new type of material, soft and elastic, close to the touch of real muscles, but the internal structure is full of tiny pores like volcanic rock, which can be washed and penetrated by water just like the fake leather covering it, but It will not collapse because of this.

Fang Nan used this to change the structure of facial features.

After Fang Nan took off the fake skin, he took the second potion from the sink next to him and began to clean up the white sticky substance on his face.

This process is not only cumbersome, but also the materials used in this disguise are very expensive and difficult to obtain.

Gallo watched him remove his makeup with great interest, and asked, "This really won't damage the skin?"

Fang Nan said, "...I have insurance."

Gallo said, "What's the use of insurance? Nolan, if your face is destroyed, many people will cry..."

Fang Nan glared at him with a slight smile in his eyes, and let him tease him casually. He just slowly applied the potion with both hands to all the places covered by white realistic muscles on his face.

After about two hours, Fang Nan finally changed into a completely different face.If Chu Xiting were here, he would find that the young man who had only been hung on the wall of the piano room by him for many years had finally reappeared in front of him.

It's just that compared to Fang Qingzhi in the photo who smiled brightly and shyly without seeing the haze, Fang Nan's eyes are much deeper, and the indifference and deepness in his eyes make it impossible to understand them at all. as the same person.

It's as if... the boy from the beginning has been completely replaced by some kind of ghost or monster who revived his body.

Fang Nan didn't go anywhere the next day.

The interval between replacing the realistic skin and reshaping the fake flesh cannot be too short.No matter how extravagant the product provider says, this kind of prop makeup has an impact on the human body, so Fang Nan needs to perform a complete and complicated cleaning and maintenance of the facial skin during the makeup change to ensure it No bad lesions will appear due to being in a closed state for a long time.

And Jia Luo, as a very thorough face control who didn't intend to cover up at all, almost even treated Fang Nan differently during the period when Fang Nan showed his original appearance... He was very attentive.

This made Fang Nan feel a little complicated, and wanted to kick this guy.

It is worth mentioning that the news that Wen Rongxi and Chu Xiting had a bad relationship in a private club ended up in the entertainment newspapers, but the picture might not be very clear because of the light. Resolution Fang Nan guessed that it might have been taken by a mobile phone.

No video has surfaced online either, at least not yet.

There were a lot of quarrels on the Internet, but neither Chu Xiting nor the company behind Wen Rongxi responded to the news quickly, neither affirming nor denying it, and directly dealt with the matter coldly.

However, such rumors did not stop afterwards, instead they continued to rage for a period of time, until a navy emerged and began to "infer" that the two heavenly kings in the photo were not at all based on evidence.

In the end, I don’t know if it’s because the navy is too powerful or if the fans just like this. After Wen Rongxi’s manager came out, he liked the other side’s deduced long Weibo, and commented, “Finally, there is someone who understands.” ", this matter was really blurred like this.

At this time, Fang Nan and Gallo have already joined the new job.

For his first Chinese album, Gallo is rather confused.In terms of personality, Gallo himself was originally a singer-songwriter.Almost [-]% of his first album is a single composed by himself.

This is mainly pop music and light rock, with one or two jazz and rap mixed in.

But this is not to say that he is only good at singing these types of songs.In fact, Gallo's singing skills are very profound, and he has a good grasp of various types of music, even operas can be sung decently.

In this case, it stands to reason that he should have no difficulty in coming up with an album.

But this guy has a very serious flaw - his Chinese is too poor, and he has an accent.

For Gallo, who was born in SN since he was a child, Chinese is actually not his mother tongue, at least not his first mother tongue.In fact, Gallo's Chinese is quite good, at least not worse than that of CN people who are accustomed to dialects, and having an accent is not a big problem—singers in many parts of the country actually have dialect-like accents.

In addition, he can also recite hundreds of famous poems, use hundreds of idioms, understand most slang, and understand many common Chinese sentences including "Have you eaten?"

The reason why singers have a very important ability as singers is that when they sing songs in an unfamiliar language, they always have a better pronunciation standard than when they speak in this language.

I don't know the specific reasons for this, but at least from this logic, it shouldn't be difficult for Gallo to release an album.

What is difficult for him is the matter of "creating in Chinese".

Since Gallo is going to debut on CN as a singer-songwriter, his album needs to include at least some of his own songs.But the terrible thing is that his Chinese can basically only be used for daily conversation and reading, and it is too difficult for him to use this language flexibly for artistic creation-this is a banana that is trying to be orientalized recently.

In the end, Fang Nan made a compromise and asked Gallo to arrange the music first, and then considered whether to let him follow the trend to learn to write lyrics, or to use foreign aid when the time came.

This was when Fang Nan and Jia Luo were busy with their new album, but something big happened at People's Entertainment.

Before Yan Li asked someone to track the source of the news that broke out on the Internet. After tracking for a period of time, he collected a lot of IP addresses. After analyzing and sorting out these IP addresses, the other party finally found the real IP of the navy. Through the activity records of the real IP, we found some organized online actions that the other party was involved in before.

Then Yan Li was shocked by the message sent by the foreign aid technician who was investigating this matter, and then became very angry.

It turned out that during this investigation, apart from some behaviors in the navy studio that had nothing to do with Wanzhong, the foreign aid found a bunch of behaviors related to the actors under the name of Wanzhong.

Among them are black actors, black dramas, bad reviews under the endorsement of thousands of famous actors, and black rumors in various popular website forums-some of which are true. , but most of them are just pure fabrications and framing.

Among these behaviors, only one person is always positively flattered or praised.

——Yang Zihan.

Although the other party's investigation involved some means of intrusion or cracking, at least the information in Yanli's computer was semi-public, and it did not need to involve hacking to obtain it.

The only piece of content whose source is unknown is an email address, which is said to be the entrusted email address of some clients who work with Wanzhong.However, the email address looked quite unfamiliar. Yan Li deliberately compared all the emails and contact information of Yang Ziyun and Yang Ziyun's agent that he knew so far, but he still couldn't find any definite evidence to confirm that this matter was related to them.

But even in the absence of relevant evidence, the truth of the facts is quite obvious.

Yan Li frowned and looked at the information for a while, and finally called his assistant, asking her to inform Yang Ziyun and her manager to come to her office.

After the two of them appeared one after another in the afternoon, Yan Li threw the printed materials on the coffee table beside them with a snap.The anger that he almost revealed made Yang Ziyun and his manager feel a thud in their hearts. Afterwards, the manager reached out to pick up the documents that had been thrown on the coffee table, and slowly read them.

And as the documents were turned page by page, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his face became more and more ugly.

Yang Ziyun glanced sideways, but her face turned pale, and her reaction was more obvious than that of her manager.

Yan Li's expression was cold, and he looked at the expressions of the two of them like ten thousand years of ice, and asked word by word: "About this information, do you have anything to explain? Is there anyone willing to tell me what is said in this information?" What's the matter?"
