Eyes! Behind the star's misdirection, it is often the agent who is at work

I still haven't forgotten the early hours of August 14, 2016.

That day, because of insomnia, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, picked up my phone and swiped a few times, and closed my eyes pretending to be for a while, but I couldn't sleep.

Seeing that the clock crossed 12 o'clock and entered a new day, but still not sleepy, he picked up his mobile phone again.

This turnover, it is not sleepy at all -

At 0:21, Wang Baoqiang issued a "divorce statement".

The star husband personally broke the news that his wife was cheating.

Even from today's perspective, this is still big news that is enough to shock the entire entertainment industry, not to mention the immature netizens who have not seen many big melons at that time, and this incident has also become one of the must-have questions for the melon-eating masses.

Of course, Brother De does not want to turn over this old yellow calendar, but wants to talk about the relationship between stars and agents.

As we all know, Ma Rong (Wang Baoqiang's ex-wife) cheated on Song Zhe, and he is Wang Baoqiang's agent.

The relationship between the agent and the star is very delicate, and even said that before he discovered the cheating, in fact, his relationship with Wang Baoqiang was recent.

The agent snatched the star's wife, which is the fundamental reason why this matter is so bloody.

And the role of agents in the lives of celebrities does not stop there, they also have various relationships due to different cooperation models.

Some of them are like bosses and employees, some are like sisters and brothers, some are Bole and Maxima, and even some have been in love for a long time and become close to each other.

Of course, there are also those who in the same room, and they don't interact with each other in old and dead.

So, how much influence does an agent have on a star? Why can't stars do without them?

First of all, we must first know the specific work content of the broker's position.

According to the official definition, the relationship between a star and an agent is an "employer relationship".

Agents are to "represent artists, actors and athletes before potential employers, including negotiating contracts and handling other business matters."

It seems that the agent is an "intermediary", helping the celebrity contact notice, right?

But the truth is much more than that, a mature agent must not only help the star create business opportunities, but also analyze the impact of cooperation for the star, and even create a comprehensive career plan for the star.

He must understand what type of artist he is underneath, what kind of announcement is suitable, what kind of scene to shoot, and even know who to fry CP.

In addition, he has to see everything about celebrity hype, public relations, styling, health, and even legal disputes.

Over time, it led to the star being suspended and becoming the "soldier" of the agent.

Put the cart before the horse, so that the star who should have been the pillar of the pillar became a puppet emperor, and was instructed to do something unwilling.

Just like Wang Junkai.

His fans once found out that early Wang Junkai was often interrupted by the agent when answering questions about the other two members, causing Wang Junkai to be embarrassed and stunned.

And Yuan Shanshan.

Because of the bad relationship with the agent, the other party actually used conspiracy in private, and took the initiative to refuse a lot of cooperation without notifying Yuan Shanshan.

This made Yuan Shanshan, who was on the rise, instantly muted, and the suspension of his career has not eased up to this day.

Of course, because of the public image of celebrities, there are many jaw-dropping things, they would rather digest them themselves than make them public.

But recently, there is a drama, from the perspective of people in the industry, really satirizes the current situation of the contemporary entertainment industry, and explains the agent and stars thoroughly.

Although they didn't name names, everyone knew it, and after reading it, they were even more frightened.

It turns out that many times the mistakes made by stars and the forks in the road taken are ghosts behind the back of the agent.

The name of the play is "Spring Warm Sun".

In the film, Huang Zitao plays a popular top traffic star "Song Yang".

The first episode of the show is high-energy, and the opening scene satirizes the phenomena of "data actor", "digital actor", "speculation CP", "traffic actor squeezes old drama bones" and so on.

Such a scale is rare in the field of domestic dramas, and Songyang's relationship with his agent is not shy away.

By starring in "Chocolate Lover", Song Yang won the best actor of an awards ceremony, but the confirmed award presenter temporarily disappeared, and the reason is:

The old drama bone of the award does not recognize Song Yang, thinking that he is a "water emperor"

Song Yang also knows his true strength.

"On the surface, I look very red, fever and cold fart big and small things, tens of thousands of forwards per minute, all are floating clouds, all arranged by the company, planned by the company, and packaged by the company.

I didn't believe in the power of hype before, but now I do. ”

Song Yang understands that everything in front of him is a mirror created by the company, and the so-called "strength" is just a pile of countless false data, and this kind of castle in the air will collapse sooner or later.

If you want to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, you must also have hard power.

For this reason, Songyang no longer wants to cater to the agent to play the "traffic" set, he wants to retreat quickly, look back on the drama troupe he was born in, and cooperate with his mentor "Ding Kemang" in a drama to hone his acting skills.

But as soon as the agent heard this plan, he was immediately angry:

"It takes several months to rehearse a drama from rehearsal to performance, and you can't do it without exposure in these months.

Don't say a few months, just this month you will disappear without exposure! ”

When it came to the troupe, the agent was even more full of firepower:

"Do you know how much it costs for Songyang to act in a play? How much does a movie cost? Songyang has 87 million fans, you can calculate, how much do these fans convert into box office? ”

The stars talk about the future here, the troupe talks about the price here, and the agent really understands the PUA.

Song Yang can only contact the troupe in private, and he has to whisper softly that he cannot be discovered by the agent, and even when talking about cooperation, he has to tiptoe out in the middle of the night.

And when the head of the troupe found Song Yang, the agent could prevaricate the leader in front of Song Yang and send the other party away in three or two sentences.

Song Yang himself did not dare to have a temper at all.

So, what exactly does the broker want Songyang to do?

First, stir-fry CP.

Pull in the popular little Hua Dan "sugar candy", concubine to the camera, whisper in the ear, and then let the reporter take photos and sell them to paparazzi, and you can be on the hot search that night.

After the two people are fried, they will also take couple photos, and the official candy will be issued.

Who is this alluding to? I don't say.

Second, gold trim.

After getting the "Best Water Emperor", she immediately mobilized all the contacts she could and contacted the latest work of Hollywood director "Andile".

This movie is known as a big production, big IP, big star, and an Oscar actor queen.

And the agent painstakingly contacted Andile, not only did not want to be paid, but even "friendly sponsorship" to them, just to win a "male N" soy sauce role for Songyang.

Who is this alluding to? I don't say.

Third, pick up variety shows.

The actor won, Hollywood gold rimmed, Songyang's value went up, how to quickly earn money?

That's definitely not a well-behaved shoot.

Make a variety show, work while playing, millions in minutes, and a small goal can be recorded in a few months, why not?

Who is this innuendo about? I won't say it yet.

It's not so much about helping stars plan their lives, but about treating stars as an investment.

Spend money just to create momentum for the stars, hire water troops, buy fake awards, and set gold edges, and when the celebrity announcement fee is high, immediately sit on the ground and return the funds.

What strength, what long-term, what word of mouth, in the eyes of the agent are all floating clouds.

When the star is older, his face is collapsed, and he can't sell his appearance, the agent will immediately unload the grind and kill the donkey and cultivate the next "top traffic pine poplar".

The love beans of flowing water, the capital of iron fighting, sincerely do not deceive!

Of course, as the protagonist of the series, Songyang firmly opposes the agent's blood-sucking behavior, which is not only a disaster for Songyang, but also irresponsible to fans.

Later, under Song Yang's repeated "consultations", the agent reluctantly agreed to his request and allowed Song Yang to rehearse the drama in the repertory theater.

But as soon as the wind calmed down, she immediately began to be a demon again.

Here, she used all the connections of the company to create momentum for Songyang - "the top superstar does not forget his original intention and returns to his alma mater to take over the drama".

Over there, they immediately contacted the issuing company to raise the ticket price and develop peripheral products.

In this way, a drama that was originally full of art, once operated, became a business conference.

This is not over, after poisoning the drama circle, the agent turned his eyes and stared at the script again.

Since you Songyang want to act in a drama, but I can't waste these two months in vain, I simply regard this as a step, so I ordered:

To make Songyang change from male number two to male number one, the scene must exceed 4/5.

But the problem is that the script is called "Father and Son", which tells the story of an elderly father and son, and the perspective of the script is from the father.

Isn't this change "Son and Father"? The whole script had to be torn down and restarted.

At the same time, the drama troupe learned that the script was greatly changed, and as the son's role increased, the daughter-in-law's role was bound to rise, and this role became a place of contention, and many rich ladies with their backs against big trees gave grace and power, openly and secretly opening the battle for the conference.

The master of the drama troupe, Dinkmang, would never have thought of it.

I want to arrange a drama once, how can I get bigger and bigger, and in the end the project is not my own.

And off-screen we finally know -

How a drama that was originally impeccable from the perspective of production, lineup, and IP was wrapped up in capital and ended up unrecognizable.

Uncover the truth about internal entertainment

The scale of "Spring Warm Sun" is:

It objectively and cruelly shows the various truths of the entertainment industry, and the actors involved are witnesses of all this, even witnesses.

In the process of watching the play, I found that the audience often asks:

Is a broker's wrist really so hard? Celebrities dare not resist?

In fact, many times stars really don't have the right to decide, and the screen seems to be glamorous, but it's actually the same as the plot in "Dead Silence" -

Behind it, a pair of big hands are fully in control.

And the agent phenomenon is only the tip of the iceberg of the performance of "Spring Warm Sun", and there are countless more industry chaos.

The play uses the eyes of insiders to connect all the unspoken rules worth writing about, and uses a group of characters who work hard in the entertainment industry to show the audience the real entertainment industry.

In the past, we always envied the large scale of Korean dramas and dared to shoot and act, but now domestic dramas also have such a large scale.

The unspoken rules in those dark corners finally can't be hidden.
