New Age Artists

Chapter 568 That’s right! The “red energy” is purely Fatty Fan!

After hanging up the phone, Shen Santong regretted it very much.

In short, I regret it.

Sometimes, people can't avoid exploring their own attributes.

Fat Fan let out several breaths and complained a lot.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost suffocated and didn't dare to make any sound.

Shen Santong ignored him. As the Great Emperor Santong, his soul was wandering in the void at the moment. He always dared to challenge his own limits.

That's what competition is all about, you have to swing your sword against the stronger one.

Fan Bingbing has always wanted to attend the Weibo Party with him, but Shen Santong refused early on in the spirit of not letting life affect work and not being partial. Meeting today is his compensation.

Compensation is also part of the job.

Serious face.

Thinking about the upcoming premiere of "Palace", although it is just a drama launched by Deep Sea Culture, it is far from his level, but as a boss, it is normal for him to care about the studio of his branch company, and as a person who values ​​friendship, it is normal for him to care about his good buddies, right?

Shen Santong could hold up Fan Xiaopang with one hand and suppress Da Mi Mi's long-range harassment with the other.

However, there were some unexpected events. Unexpectedly, Yang Mi was having a reunion with the Teddy sisters.

Who would have thought that it wasn't just Yang Mi, but Qin Lan, Huo Siyan, and Li Xiaolu were right next to her, and that Yang Mi couldn't keep her phone safe and it was snatched away.

This Yang Mi is very good at using the phone, but I didn’t expect that she can’t even protect her own phone.

The power balance has shifted slightly.

It became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Thinking of "camel", Shen Santong remembered that Nietzsche used "lion, baby, camel" to describe the different stages of life, in order to illustrate a certain philosophy.

In short, Shen Santong was a little caught off guard.

No one can defend against it, Fan Xiaopang has refined the ultimate battle robe.

The supreme divine weapon.

Black stockings over white stockings, this way of wearing was studied in depth by Fan Xiaopang himself, and after iterating and receiving feedback, he finally portrayed the ultimate pattern.

The outer layer of black stockings highlights charm, mystery and sexiness, while the inner layer of white stockings provides a half-covered, pure mood.

Visually, the inner layer of white lace, set off by the black silk, melts the two temperaments together.

The battle robe is just a prop. If you want to unleash its full power, you need to be strong enough.

Fan Xiaopang is not one of those poor students with a lot of stationery. Her looks are never inferior to anyone in the entertainment industry when it comes to appearance.

Now is the time when she is in the best condition.

Being famous does not just mean fame, but maintaining a high level of competitive state for a long time.

Just like professional athletes, they can only maintain their peak mental and physical state by constantly participating in competitions and higher-level competitions.

If you leave this competitive environment, your condition will decline rapidly.

The same is basically true when celebrities leave their professional environment.

In the previous life, Shuangzi’s scandal collapsed a few months ago, and the photos that came out were so old.

There is no doubt that Fan Xiaopang is at the peak of her career. She has basically secured her position as the number one female star. Not only is she popular, but her popularity is pure.

After "The Shallows", "Running Man" and "My Love from the Stars", he has made efforts in all aspects of movies, variety shows and TV series, and his star status has reached the top.

In his prime years, in peak professional condition and with good interactions with the outside world, today's Fan Xiaopang is much stronger than Fan Xiaopang in his previous life.

The profession of celebrity is similar to the gods set in Western DND.

It is not the gods who possess the priesthood, divinity, and godhead, but they who shape the gods.

The main god of a powerful pantheon cannot completely possess his "self", or the more powerful he is, the less he can possess his self, and his personality will also be affected by his priesthood.

Only some ancient gods still have a certain power after getting rid of their priesthood and divinity, but they are very few.

The temperament displayed by the star actors in phenomenal movies is often healthier and more casual, without having to worry too much about their image.

Wu Jing has encountered various deconstructions and can't find a way out in her life or work, so she just uses emoticons, but it does not affect the audience's recognition.

In other words, moviegoers don’t pay much attention to team-building activities in a certain circle.

Even if there was an impact, it was very small. After the movie became a big hit, the image was revived.

Before the film industry formed a self-circulating cycle that did not require audiences, movie stars who were able to sell well were like ancient gods who were born and raised. They needed the support of the audience but were not dependent on the audience.

For movie spending that costs real money, it is difficult to create a phenomenon by just selling misery and marketing.

This was broken after the "self-loop".

"She's Missing", "Red River", "All or Nothing", "Hot as Hell", etc., have lost the effect of breaking the circle, and their models have become similar to TV dramas.

The TV series here refers to the TV series market after most viewers have been driven out.

Compared with stars from movies, young actresses in the TV industry need to be careful to maintain their own image even if they have reached the top level. The entire network only allows retouched photos to appear, which are very "refined" but lack vitality.

For idols, their character is completely determined by their personality. If the inner character and outer personality do not match, it would be like a god absorbing an inappropriate priesthood or godhood, and the result would be the collapse of his idol.

In his previous life, Fan Bingbing was a marketing hype man. After he left Huayi, Wandao agent joined the team and at the same time sought to make some art films, such as "Apple" and "Guan Yin Mountain". He was "black and red" and "running with illness", and his image had many impurities and chronic diseases.

If the "red energy" is regarded as a certain energy attribute, then Fan Bingbing's power in his previous life was very mixed. After practicing magic, he became stronger, but his foundation was weak and rather complicated.

After the collapse of the house, the "red energy" can no longer be obtained from the country, but from Southeast Asia.

If Todai is described as a spiritual place, it would be a top-level spiritual place.

The spiritual power is pure and vast, and is regulated by the Central Holy Land.

Even if it absorbs a relatively mixed amount, it is still a very pure power when placed outside a top-level spiritual land.

Southeast Asia is filled with low-level spiritual power, which is extremely complex and even if you add them together, it would only be a few levels at most.

To use an example from novels about cultivating immortals, it is very difficult to produce a top-grade golden elixir, let alone become a great cultivator at the level of transformation into a spirit.

Without the nourishment of spiritual land, Fan Bingbing's cultivation level continued to decline. When he was nourished by top-level spiritual land, the side effects of practicing magic could still be suppressed. But when his cultivation level was no longer there, all the side effects would come.

This life is different. Shen Santong didn't let her star in any so-called art films.

If you want to go higher, these are not only meaningless, but also have side effects.

Take female stars for example. Bai Baihe was the most powerful actress in her prime. Does she need recognition from the so-called international A-class actress?

Moreover, art films are completely dominated by external narratives.

The characteristic of the Five Dynasties films is that the East China Sea was in a state of stagnation for thousands of years, that is to say, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were all the same in their concepts.

The subtext is that this side is static, while ocean civilization is fluid, so ocean civilization is needed to inject vitality.

Regarding the latter, some directors do not say it explicitly, but logical facts point to this.

By the time of the sixth generation of directors, it was even more explicit and went a step further, opening up the subtext and completely denying everything.

To put it nicely, it is based on rebellion and reflection, and highlighting individuality is the banner, but in fact it is a complete collapse of one's own beliefs.

Today's Fan Bingbing has not taken any radical actions. Compared to his previous life, he has rebuilt his foundation. In addition, he has top-notch qualifications and is well-informed. It is normal that Shen Santong cannot withstand him.

Emperor Santong returned from his journey through the vast starry sky and immediately turned the tables: "Isn't it for you? If it wasn't for you, would I have considered being a good brother as part of my cosplay?"

"How innocent I am!"

Shen Santong thought so.

"Get lost, you are a super scumbag." Fat Fan had long been immune to Shen Santong's double-faced behavior.

Shen Santong was really wronged: "It's not that you are unhappy, so I compensate you!"

When Fat Fan heard this, he got angry: "You can't be satisfied with the domestic ones, find a foreign one!"

"What nonsense! For the promotion of the movie! I never delay important matters." Shen Santong didn't understand. When was there any time when he didn't do this?

The criticism has always been for the purpose of promoting the film, and it is natural to fight against external narratives for the sake of domestic film narratives.

Fatty Fan said with disdain: "I don't trust you! I can't say anything else, but you absolutely can't trust me when it comes to flirting with other women."

"Alas, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be." Shen Santong sighed.

"Speaking of the Teddy Sisters, do you think they are innocent?" Fan Bingbing said sarcastically, "They are indeed a good match for you. You should go over there."

"Why should I accompany them? They are just having a party with their sisters." Shen Santong was puzzled.

Fan Bingbing can speak: "Teddy is missing a tooth!"

Shen Santong was shocked: "No, how can you talk like that? I'm not a dog. Even if I am a dog, I'm not a Teddy."

"Haha, you are not a dog, you are a teddy bear."

"I'm not."

"Yes, yes."

Shen Santong was really tired.

Misunderstanding, too many people misunderstood him.

That was all due to my ignorance when I was young!

Besides, I have never driven a black car!
If we really talk about having fun, there are many people who play much more fancy and outrageous than him.

Not to mention our rival Hollywood, that thing is incomparable.

Compared to Hollywood, even the cesspool smells good.

Just take some of my colleagues and some coal bosses for example, they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

Even when doing engineering work, there are many ways to do it.

Having lived two lives, Shen Santong can be said to be extremely restrained.

Black cars don’t drive at all!

Who drives a black car? He definitely hasn't driven one!
In addition, given the sensitive nature of their identities nowadays, we can only maintain a few of them, no more than ten at most, or at most a dozen or so.

Gatherings like the Teddy Sisters and other invitations were nothing compared to the hints Shen Santong had received.

Didn't he really think that Gan Wei and the others just invited him to have a meal?

In the past two years, Shen Santong has not been to any entertainment venues, and even has less entertainment.

Perhaps this is the price of supporting Huayu Entertainment.

As the Three-Way Emperor, he must turn his back on temptation if he wants to suppress the unknown.

Not only are the tricks gone, but female celebrities can't just communicate whenever they want. They have to be mindful of the impact.

It seems like every day there is only work and requests from my alma mater.

Some junior high school students need one or two opportunities, including junior high school students who are directors and photographers, as well as other junior high school students who are screenwriters. I can’t say that I will respond to every request, but I basically have an arrangement for all of them.

In addition to that silly woman Tang Yan, there were many similar requests from the Central Academy of Drama, and they agreed without much hesitation, because she had some connections with the Shanghai Theatre Academy from her hometown.

Shen Santong does not allow his relatives to enter the company, except for some supporting enterprises, but he is more tolerant of requests from colleges and universities.

It's not easy to just ignore it and not involve too much exchange of interests. We always have to recruit new people and always have to employ people.

It's like when there's a doctor in a village or family, you go to the hospital to make an appointment and ask for help. There's not much benefit, but there's no harm either. Basically, you'll help as much as you can, and you'll have a good reputation in your hometown.

Shen Santong thought of himself as a saint.

Although he considers himself an ordinary person, his inner excellent qualities cannot be concealed.

"I'm not Teddy!" Shen Santong cared about this very much.

Fan Xiaopang tidied up, ventilated, asked her assistant to come in, and helped her change into a set of Tang Dynasty costumes so that she could cosplay Wu Zetian.

In peak condition, she is truly elegant and graceful.

"You're not, you're not." Fatty Fan comforted him casually. After changing into his clothes, he was completely focused on them. He turned around and asked Shen Santong for his opinion: "What do you think of this outfit?"

It is also the dress for tomorrow's Weibo party. She originally wanted to get a dragon robe.

Shen Santong suggested that there was no need to be too unconventional.

She has dozens of similar costumes. The movie and TV series "Empress Wu Zetian" were shot consecutively with a total investment of 200 million yuan, which is the main resource to maintain her status.

Just her custom-made clothes cost tens of millions, which was a huge investment.

"Very good. I'm really not Teddy, why do you think of me in this way?" Shen Santong's mind was still on the previous version.

"Look at my dress first." Fat Fan was really speechless. It was just a joke, why did Shen Santong care so much?

This man is really something. He just wants to have fun, but he has to find all kinds of excuses for himself.

Fan Bingbing thought of something: "Are you going to fight luxury goods to the end? This time Dior contacted me and not only can they lend me clothes for customization, but they will also pay me for wearing them. Do you think I should agree?"

Shen Santong was relieved. He was not Teddy: "Once I hit you, your united front value will be revealed."

In the past, when it came to custom-made dresses, it wasn’t the celebrities promoting the product, but rather they had to be rented for a fee!
The endorsement fees for top luxury brands have never been high, and it cannot be called endorsement fees. There were no opportunities in mainland China before, but only in the last two years.

Even in later generations, when the mainland luxury consumption market is the biggest growth point for some brands, the endorsement fees are still very low and the status of spokespersons is not high.

Some celebrities are even willing to reduce their endorsement fees in order to get film pay, and a large amount of money is spent on public relations.

In the last attack, not only did I not make any money compared to what I earned, I even lost money.

The reason for the series of strange phenomena is that luxury brands are very consistent in their approach to China, and PUA has formed a chain that not only looks down on China, but also despises it.

Even if organized groups occupy the market, they are vulnerable to attacks by unorganized groups.

If you want to rent a new dress for the season and have it custom-made, you not only need to have status and spend money, but you also need to please the person.

The title of luxury goods endorsement is tied to the celebrity status, and there are multiple levels such as spokesperson, brand ambassador, brand friend, and brand experience officer, with a complete set of rhetoric for each level.

Luxury goods, magazines, and media form a set of narratives that serve as the etiquette of the PUA entertainment industry.

In this etiquette system, not only does Chinese entertainment have a low status, but even luxury goods consumers do not have a very high status either.

They use ugly dresses to deliberately tame the public's aesthetic taste, and suppress truly popular stars openly or covertly.

Some celebrities would rather not make money but compete for endorsements just to occupy a position in this order and then talk about other celebrities.

In her previous life, when she was at the peak of her career, Bai Baihe was far ahead in terms of audience popularity, but so what? If you don’t appear in a certain magazine, people won’t recognize you as a “big star”.

Who will approve it?

First of all, let’s exclude the audience, which is actually some media.

I think the reason why Shen Santong continues to be attacked is also because he was given the title of "Four Dan and Two Bing" back then.

He was not sensible at that time, and this matter touched upon the core interests of some media.

Of course, if it happens again, he might, with a high probability, perhaps, definitely do the same.

The more some media are entangled with luxury goods, the more they become obsessed with Western narratives and that system.

However, when some negative news, even if it is fabricated by themselves, spreads to the outside world, they will immediately shut up obediently. Not only will they shut up themselves, but they will also use various means to reduce the heat.

"I belong to me, you belong to you. If there is money to be made, just agree to it." Shen Santong told Fan Bingbing that he should make money if there is money to be made.

He never wanted to overthrow anyone, and objectively speaking the timing was not right or ripe.

He just doesn't accept PUA.

Fan Bingbing also wanted to cooperate and breathed a sigh of relief.

She is very ambitious and is also trying to create some brands of perfumes, facial masks, etc. She is also learning from the experience of some European and American celebrities in building their own brands.

"You are very beautiful." Shen Santong looked at Fan Bingbing wearing this luxurious dress and suddenly got an inspiration. He asked several assistants to go out.

The assistant was speechless, as he was used to it.

This pair of dogs always have a falling out.

"You're Teddy!"

"Absolutely not!"

"that is!"

“I am I am.”
