"Since most of the people in our class like Xiang Shang, you must know what his most popular work is, right?" Ye Qisheng said in a relaxed tone.”
"'The Prince Loves the Frog'!" The entire class answered almost in unison.
Ye Bisheng couldn't help but laugh." It seems that everyone knows Xiang Shang quite well. In addition to the drama 'Prince Fell in Love with Frog', its theme song' Frog Fell in Love with the Prince', is also familiar to everyone, right?"”
"I'm not unfamiliar with it!"
"Prince Frog, love and kill each other!"
"Haha…"
After all, the students were young people. When they talked about these things, they all had a common topic.
After the students quieted down, Ye Shengsheng continued,"Other than the TV series and the theme song, he also released a movie back then.”
"'The King's Man'!" Many students took the initiative to answer.
In the past two years, Xiang Shang had been very popular, and it was the kind of popularity that exploded for no reason. His promotional posters could be seen everywhere, and his promotional videos were also everywhere on the Internet. It was impossible not to know about it.
"Does anyone know how much the movie cost and box office sales were?”Ye Qisheng asked.
This question stumped quite a few students. Usually, everyone would just watch a movie for fun. There was nothing artistic about this kind of movie. Most of them would forget about it after watching it. Who would pay attention to this?
However, everyone had a cell phone. This information was easily found out by searching online.
Therefore, the first student to find out said,"The production cost is only a few million, but the box office sales are 85 million!”
"Wow, the profit has increased by more than ten times?”
"Even if we deduct the box office earnings, the investors can still make a lot of money!”
"No wonder so much capital is invested in movies. It's a profitable business!”
"I've learned. When I have money in the future, I'll invest in movies!”
“……”
"For celebrities, they either have to be able to find a path that suits them through various trials during their prime, or seize the opportunity to complete their initial accumulation and advance themselves to the capital before oppressing the newcomers!”
" This is also the path of the growth of many capitals since ancient times," Ye Bisheng said." Through bloody or peaceful methods, they complete the primitive accumulation of capital. After they become capital, they turn around and want to exploit the people who were originally of the same kind in order to obtain the profits to maintain their own development!”
"The means of capital are nothing more than this. This is the case for countries, organizations, and individuals.”
Then, he wrote the words "studio" on the blackboard.
"A studio is a symbol of a celebrity's initial success. It means that the celebrity has received a certain amount of recognition from the audience and the capital. It also means that the celebrity has a certain amount of influence in the entertainment industry and has a certain degree of independence.”
"But…" Ye Qisheng knocked on the blackboard and said loudly,""Even at this stage, this celebrity is still just a tool!”
The students below the stage were in an uproar. They couldn't accept that their idol was just a tool.
Ye Yisheng knocked on the podium, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and continued to talk,"Since everyone likes Xiang Shang, let's use Xiang Shang as an example to explain why they are tools!”
"In the past few years, the entire entertainment industry has been crazily promoting young hunks. Why? Because they could bring in huge profits.”
"With the rising value of celebrities, the management companies behind them can naturally earn a lot of money. The popularity of the market makes it possible for lousy films with young hunks to earn huge box office earnings, allowing the film companies and distribution companies to eat their fill.”
"However, with the exposure of the industry's insider news, we all know that young hunks have almost become an industry. The management company will train trainees in batches and push them to debut. As long as they become popular, they will be arranged to appear in various variety shows, television dramas, and movies to recover the investment in them as quickly as possible.”
"Once these young hunks lose their reputation and are boycotted by the market, the capital will abandon them as quickly as possible and then push new young hunks to debut.”
"When many young hunks are popular, their salaries can be as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. However, once they are not popular, they can't even afford to rent a better house.”
"Why? This was because 70% to 80% of the profits they earned were taken away by the capital behind them. Only a small portion was left for them. This was accompanied by many harsh conditions.”
"This is an industrial chain. Every young hunk in this industrial chain is a tool used by capital to gain benefits. They don't even have the ability to get rid of control.”
When Ye Bisheng was studying abroad at Yingjiang's home, he had also worked for Wall Street's big bosses. He had also earned a very generous salary and supported himself to finish his PhD. He was very familiar with the various modes of capital manipulation in the entertainment industry.
He had even participated in the acquisition of some small entertainment companies with high-quality young hunks. There were many insider information and rules. If he did not understand them, he would not even be able to do his job well.
Don't think that there are no young hunks overseas. There are no fewer young hunks overseas than in China. It's just that China doesn't know about them.
The most famous one in China was Baby Jia from Maple Leaf.
The capital of various countries harvested the wallets of fans through young fresh meat. It could be said that it was basically the same.
Looking at the dazed students, Ye Shengsheng smiled and said,""Actually, you don't have to be too conflicted about the words 'tool man'. In this world, who isn't a tool man? I am, you are, everyone is. It's just that the capital that is squeezing us behind our backs is different!”
"We feel that it's not worth it for these young hunks here, but maybe they're actually very satisfied with this life of fame and fortune?”
The students nodded in agreement. After all, the sages had once said," If the child is not a fish, how can he know the joy of a fish?"
Seeing the students gradually calm down, Ye Shengsheng continued,"Everyone should have heard of Kerry Media, right?”
"I know!" The students shouted in unison.
Kerry Media was Xiang Shang's management company. It was only a small sect in the entertainment industry and did not have much capital. However, because of Xiang Shang, it was still considered well-known.
Ye Shengsheng then wrote three names on the blackboard: Zhao Lin, Li Kanyu, Xiang Shang.
