In previous lives, there are usually several ways for brokerage companies to support new employees.
One is to sign an artist and arrange for him to participate in talent shows. Through secret operations and public opinion hype, he won a high ranking, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop.
South Korea's "Produce 101" broke out and the entire series was faked. Especially the third and fourth seasons, before the show started, the debut list was decided.
Therefore, those fans who have truly watched the show and spend real money to support their idols are actually all trapped by the program team.
One is to sign an artist and arrange for a filming. Start with a supporting role and accumulate popularity step by step. Coupled with media hype, it gradually becomes famous.
Many celebrities on Wireless TV became famous like this. After the artist training class or the beauty pageant of Hong Kong Sisters, they signed a contract with Wireless TV and started from supporting roles and slowly got to the top.
For example, after Ouyang Zhenhua graduated from the artist training class in 1982, he first played a supporting role, played a little beggar in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and played a bachelor in "The Deer and the Cauldron"... It was not until 1992 that he finally played the leading role in "The No. 1 Royal Court", and he was tempered for ten years.
One is to sign an artist and not rush to let him film, but help him slowly gain popularity through mv, advertising and other channels.
For example, Taiwanese artist Zeng Kaixuan, whose famous work is Jay Chou's mv "I Don't Worth". His pure and lovely temperament immediately fascinated the fans of blockbusters.
The first time the mainland street photography goddess Gao Yuanyuan is well-known was the advertisement for clear mouth lozenges she took. The sentence "Do you know the taste of clear mouth" fascinated many boys.
Another type is to use online media to hype it up and then go from online to offline.
For example, Huang Cancan, the school beauty of Wuhan University and Chen Duling, the school beauty of China Southern Airlines, both became famous with the help of online media. When Gulinaza applied for Beijing Film Academy, she also hyped up the topic of "The Most Beautiful Art Candidate" online.
...
Through the draft, Lin Qingxia has been pushed through the draft, and this path is temporarily unavailable.
Let’s not talk about the fact that there are no talent shows like “American Idol”, “x-factor”, “American Got Talent”, and “Voice of the United States”. Even if there are, Lin Qingxia does not have a skill to stand out.
Singing, dancing, magic, acrobatics, oral skills... She is not good at everything. Apart from being beautiful, she has no obvious advantages.
But the Americans are not interested in Chinese appearances, so this advantage is equivalent to not being there. Since this is the case, becoming famous in talent shows is basically a dead end.
By playing supporting roles, you can slowly accumulate popularity and slowly gain the upper hand... This is a very safe approach.
maggie q Li Meiqi first played a supporting role in "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Die Hard 4". After gaining popularity, she got the chance to star in the American drama "Nikita".
However, this steady approach is not very suitable for Lin Qingxia. It is mainly because it takes time to do so.
Li Meiqi has been in Hollywood for nearly four years before becoming the protagonist. Lin Qingxia only has half a year for the time. The time is too short and she has no time to accumulate popularity slowly, so she must speed up.
It is even more impossible to hype through the Internet. At this stage, there is no Internet yet. Even Apa.com, the predecessor of the Internet, has just completed the experimental stage.
Therefore, Ye Jin can choose the third way, which is to increase popularity through mv, advertising and other channels.
But it is difficult to get Lin Qingxia to take on advertisements.
No America advertising company will use Chinese model advertising to attract domestic customers.
The people of Asiatica do not worship Chinese, but discriminate and exclude. In this case, the use of Chinese models will not only not increase sales, but will easily have negative effects.
Unlike the mainland, because Chinese people have been in financial difficulties for a long time and are far behind European and American countries, they generally tend to [worship foreign countries and fascinate foreign countries], and choosing foreign models to advertise makes the products look more classy.
So the remaining one is to shoot mv.
mv is the abbreviation of music video (music video). It was born very early and appeared in the 20s. And to this point, the forms of mv are also diverse, including singing and dancing (such as Elvis's "Jailhouse rock"), and like story sketches (such as Xu Rongjie's (The Legend of the Bird Heroes)).
The singer who really pushed MV to a new level was Michael Jackson. His "Thriller" (Thugger) MV is thirteen minutes long, and is a short film with stories, music, exquisite production and excellent special effects.
After its release, it amazed the world, not only increased the newly launched mtv by millions of users, but also doubled the sales of the album "Thriller". To this end, Michael Jackson also specially launched a music video with sales of more than one million sets.
Ye Jin also wants to imitate Michael Jackson and Jay Chou to release the song MV and choose Lin Qingxia as the heroine. As long as the MV can be broadcast on TV, she will have a certain popularity.
After all, Ye Jin is now well-known in America. He dare not say that he is a first-line superstar, at least he is a popular young actor.
...
Michael Ovez and others also agreed with Ye Jin's proposal.
The investment in MV shooting is very small, only 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars. Moreover, the money can be applied to the record company. After all, MV shooting can stimulate record sales and is beneficial to the record company. In the past life, in America, the production cost of MV was basically a singer, and the record company invested half of the time.
"Ye, I can recommend the MV director to you." Roland Berkins smiled, "It's absolutely top-notch in technology, and it's guaranteed to satisfy you."
"Yes, we can also help you run this project," Long Mayer smiled. "Even the mv script can be written for you, you can leave it all to us."
"Okay, since you are so intentional, I'll leave it to you." Ye Jin nodded.
He really has no experience in shooting MVs. How can he integrate sound and painting, how can he highlight the theme, and how can he highlight Lin Qingxia... He is not very clear about these. After all, MVs are not ready for him to plagiarize.
"Don't worry." Michael Ovez agreed happily.
MV invests up to 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars, not a big project. Caa costs 10%, and it only makes one or two thousand dollars.
But the reason why he was so excited was mainly because he found a new market that had not yet been developed, that is, the MV market. The America music scene released tens of thousands of songs a year, and a large number of them were filmed as MVs and sent to the TV station for broadcast.
Suppose the production cost of an MV is 20,000 US dollars, one hundred songs are 2 million US dollars, and one thousand songs are 200,000 US dollars. The commission is one tenth, which is 200,000 US dollars, and two million US dollars. For Caa, this is already a lot of money.
