Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 812 New Custom Series & Signing?
The issues reflected in this turn-based confrontation are actually quite interesting.

This situation is actually not the first time it has occurred.

As domestic music variety shows enter their golden age, a large number of music critics have been pushed to the front of the stage to act as "topic makers" for the shows.

The quarrels between music critics, singers and the public became the main attraction that spread inside and outside the program.

The most typical example.

Two years ago, Phoenix Legend adapted Ning Luo's "Under the Sea" on a music variety show, which was mocked by the judges present as "rustic" and was given the lowest score by the 100-member jury, causing great controversy online.

The public and the judges had completely opposite attitudes.

After the song was released, the number of listeners exceeded 300 million overnight and it became an instant hit on the entire Internet.

Ning Luo inexplicably reaped the benefits~
The program crew is obviously happy to see this situation happen, and may even be fanning the flames behind the scenes.

On the other hand, the attitudes of Brother Gui and music critic Liang Yuan are also very interesting.

Even though he was deliberately trying to create hype and increase traffic, Gui Ge's attitude was obviously a bit too aggressive, as if he was mistaking rudeness for his true nature.

But this is also the norm in the circle.

For example, Ms. Wei.

For example, Da Mimi casually slapped the reporter or fangirl’s cell phone away.

Uh. .

It seems that I was criticized very badly this time. It was really rude.

There was also something a little off about the music critic's attitude, and his words were full of daddy tone.

"As someone who has been in the business longer than you, I can say I have some say over that."

"My job is to look after musicians like you. I can't have such an attitude."

And later on, this guy was obviously a little too excited by Brother Gui and his fans, and he directly posted dozens of angry messages on Weibo.

The reviews also began to go beyond the scope of music critics and began to criticize Guixiong's personal ethics and professional ethics.

Ning Luo was all too familiar with this situation.

This situation often occurred in the early days of his debut when he was besieged by numerous music critics.

At the beginning, they might have simply made comments, or they might have been trying to take advantage of the popularity, or they might have received money from one of Ning Luo's rivals and came out to make a sniper attack.

But in the end, people usually transfer their resentment to Ning Luo himself because of the honeyed words of Ning Luo's fans, and all kinds of accusations are thrown at him.

It's as if they are some kind of authority.

These people often say things like, "If there is no freedom to criticize, then praise is meaningless."

But the funny thing is, when this rule comes into effect on themselves, most of them will break down on the spot.

After all, there are only a very small number of people who can truly uphold the qualities of a "music critic" and accept the way things are in today's era of universal entertainment.

This situation did not improve until Ning Luo achieved success after success and became increasingly popular.

On the one hand, it was because his competitors gradually stopped paying.

On the other hand, a large number of music critics at the time were later subjected to endless purges by Ning Luo’s fans.

In the first two years after his debut, if anyone dared to mess with Ning Luo, his fans would really bite them.

Ning Luo also cleaned up, or rather bribed, a group of people himself.

He doesn't need criticism, just praise is enough~
The more the better~
Because there are already enough people around him criticizing him.

After a delicious hotpot meal and three bottles of beer, Ning Luo collapsed on the sofa, catching up on the latest episode of "The Elite".

After the fat girl cleaned up the leftovers in the hot pot, she drank a glass of beer to rinse her mouth. Then, under the disgusted gazes of the three men, she burped heartily, patted her belly, and started talking about work.

"First, we have reached an agreement with Cartier. The custom series is called 'Luoshui', which includes rings, earrings, necklaces and other jewelry lines." "It's a good name." Ning Luo joked: "The iconic element of this series is not a turtle carrying a book~"

"What a mess..." Sister Ni, who was drinking water, almost spit it out and slapped him on the thigh in amusement.

"Those foreigners probably don't have such a high cultural background~" the little fat girl added.

Ning Luo casually said, "No matter if it's there or not, remember to remind them. If they really borrowed it, mark it clearly at that time, so as not to cause trouble for everyone."

The chubby girl raised her hand to her cheek and made an artificial OK gesture.

Seeing that the three of them didn't seem to care much, Sister Ni muttered sourly, "You're exaggerating. It's only been a few months since the Dior custom series was launched, and now there's a Cartier custom series, and it's a jewelry line. I don't think there will be YSL, LV, or something like that later."

"TOD'S·N capsule series, huh~ we also get dividends~~" the makeup artist who was swinging a hula hoop nearby added breathlessly.

"..."

Ning Luo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he glanced at the makeup artist's sister's shaking white legs.

Why is this sister becoming more and more astringent?

I guess I'm going to get hurt.

The chubby girl coughed twice and continued, "Anyway, this series has just begun preparations, and we don't know exactly when it will be released. It's enough to know that this thing exists."

"Also, regarding the new album signing event, fans are very eager for it. Should we do it or not?"

Ning Luo glanced at the little fat girl and asked, "Who has higher support from the fans or the team?"

"They're all tall." The chubby girl spread her hands.

Ning Luo curled his lips, "I don't have time, so I won't do it."

An album signing event, as the name suggests, is a fan event that provides fans with an opportunity for face-to-face communication in the name of signing and selling albums.

However, due to limited places, the winners will be decided by lottery after purchasing the album.

In fact, it is somewhat similar to "drawing a small card" and is still a promotional method.

The domestic entertainment limited group and the Peninsula band particularly like this method, in order to achieve the goal of shipping out a large number of physical album orders in a short period of time.

During the artist's comeback period, there are many high-frequency autograph sessions, with an average of six or seven sessions per week.

However, in recent years, as the sales of Peninsula band’s physical albums have increased rapidly, autograph sessions have gradually become a way of “repaying the loan.”

When idol groups like Peninsula release records nowadays, their agencies usually reach agreements with multiple record companies and ask them to scan the barcodes of the albums in advance.

This way, the album becomes sold.

This is also the reason why the first-day sales of idol groups such as Peninsula easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.

The process of record companies selling to fans is actually equivalent to resale and will no longer be reflected in the charts.

In the past, agencies would inflate stocks by buying back albums.

Now, the method is to have idol groups hold frequent and long-term autograph sessions to boost sales, allowing record companies to slowly sell out the goods they stockpiled in advance.

But in fact, in the end, only about 50% to 60% are actually sold, and the rest are basically disposed of as waste.

But even so, the record companies still make some money.

This is the "false prosperity" of the Peninsula entertainment industry today.

Ning Luo felt that he had not yet fallen to the point where he needed to rely on this method.

It's not enough to embarrass that person.

Besides, signing books will be very tiring.
