Chapter 67

Originally, we were going to discuss this matter.

In theory, this is a very common resource exchange in the circle. Glory is very popular, so naturally many people want to get a piece of the pie. But when Su Ning heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.

His expression already explained his attitude.

Su Ning does not mean to look down on idol dramas. Idol drama itself is a very broad concept. If you must say, the palace fighting drama he is going to produce also has some ancient idol attributes.

A good idol drama is a resource that any company and artist would love to have, but everyone in the industry knows that the series of idol dramas produced by Yuedong recently are really not good. They are just trying to attract some traffic to deceive fans into paying, and they have nothing to do with good works.

Su Ning then asked in detail, and sure enough, it was exactly as he thought.

Some excellent and solid idol drama scripts are hard to get even for young actors with decent popularity, so it is impossible for them to be given to idols who have never acted before.

Zhu Lan has been cooperating with Yuedong for a long time, or the Shen family has always had such a relationship. It is indeed a good way to make money. She looked at Su Ning's expression and wanted to persuade him.

"Mr. Su, it's a very normal choice for idols to act in movies when they become famous. They can play the leading role right away. Many people don't have such an opportunity." She said, "If you think about it carefully, this is clearly a win-win situation."

How could Su Ning be so easily fooled by these few words?

When filming a drama, besides the cast, casting is also very important. Otherwise, Shen Mingzheng would not personally hire someone for the leading role of a drama. In the conventional thinking of the industry, if a famous person or someone who is a hot topic is cast as the leading role, the drama is almost halfway to success.

But where there are good characters, there are naturally bad characters.

This kind of crudely made drama can be shot and put on the Internet platform within a few months. As long as there is traffic, there is no loss. It can also negotiate with advertisers for product placement and hang a Glory PPT. Even if the script is not out, it can attract investment and advertising resources. It is a steady profit.

Of course, he also knows that this is an easy way to make money, but the quality of the dramas produced in this way is often not guaranteed. This is not in line with his consistent work philosophy, nor does it meet his requirements for light and shadow entertainment.

None of Glory are professional actors, and they haven't been famous for long. Although their fans are enthusiastic, they have not yet established themselves in the idol circle. Su Ning is not stopping them from filming, but he thinks it is not the right time yet. The seven of them are all around 20 to 22 years old, so young, there is no need to leave so quickly.

Eat your meal one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

It may sound appropriate for young idols to act in idol dramas, but acting in a drama and being on stage are completely different things. It is irresponsible to send them to act without thinking of the bigger and better resources.

The topic was getting more and more dead end. Su Ning was still sitting there, but his hands were tightly gripping the back of the chair, which showed that he was a little angry.

"impossible."

He said, "Don't talk about it. Glory won't act in that kind of drama."

What he said was as hard as nails and iron, and Zhu Lan couldn't break it.

She originally thought that this person was a little different from Shen Mingzheng, but now it seems that in some matters, he is simply a copy and paste, leaving no room for error.

Mr. Sheng was naturally unhappy about his repeated setbacks, but he didn't lose his temper for the sake of Zhu Lan's face. He whispered, "Okay, if that's the case, forget it."

Then he turned and left.

Zhu Lan was helpless and sighed, "You, Mr. Su, you should look at the long-term. Why make such a fuss?"

After a while, she reminded him again: "Yuedong has cooperated with the Shen family a lot, and the old man values ​​it very much. If you really want to be in the Shen family... you should attach importance to this cooperation."

Her instructions were obvious, but Su Ning shook his head.

"If Mingzheng were here, his reaction would be the same as mine," Su Ning said, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Zhu Lan couldn't figure it out. Before she left, she reminded Su Ning: "If you make this decision, you must bear the consequences."

Su Ning knows.

He could accept having to switch to a smaller platform, but he would not sacrifice the future of others.

As soon as Zhu Lan left, many people started to come in. The heads of various companies in the industry kept coming to say hello. Although the previous negotiations had fallen through, Su Ning still had to maintain the necessary business relationship chain. Regardless of his current mood, this was one of the reasons why he came here.

Be angry, but don't bring it to work.

The "Audience Choice Award" is a comprehensive award in the entertainment industry. In addition to the idol category, it also has awards for movies and TV series. Many actors and actresses from all walks of life come, and idols are just a part of them.

Glory is now preparing to walk the red carpet. The Audience Choice Awards is the first major awards ceremony they have participated in in the true sense. The weight of the award ranks among the top five nationwide and it is also very important in the idol circle.

In particular, Glory was nominated for an award - this year's Most Popular Newcomer Group Award.

The audience voting phase in the early stage was already a complete mess. Although there is still a judging session, it can be said that it is a popular choice. Fans jokingly said that they came and just waited to receive the award.

After a while, Su Ning, who was in the backcourt, saw Glory coming in. But when Li Chu and the others came over, although he still kept a decent smile on his face, Su Ning glanced at him from a distance and knew that he was not as happy as before he came.

The show hasn't started yet, so everyone is allowed to walk around. Su Ning waved his hand and Li Chu came over on his own initiative.

"What's wrong?" Su Ning looked at him standing beside him and asked him in a low voice, "Who here offended you? Tell me."

Li Chu shook his head and said, "No one provokes me."

Although he said so, he still pouted slightly in front of Su Ning, looking as if he had suffered some injustice.

He didn't know how to tell Su Ning. Maybe it was because he had protected her too well during this period of time, and he almost forgot how complicated this circle was.

It started with a small incident when they were walking on the red carpet. They happened to meet Liu Hao. They wanted to invite everyone to go in together, but they were stopped by the organizer and even Liu Hao's company agent.

"It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate," the other side said, "The seats on the red carpet are reserved, he can't go in with you."

Lin Zhi also explained: "It's okay, we are good friends who know each other, we don't mind."

The organizer looked at him and explained helplessly: "Even if you agree that it's not possible, and you don't mind, the people behind you will mind. There are several actors behind you, and the order will be messed up later."

This statement almost made it clear that Liu Hao's status was not high enough.

In fact, Liu Hao’s performance as an idol in releasing songs is not bad. He even received the invitation letter tonight and was even nominated for the new artist award, which is enough to show that he has some fame. However, his performance and popularity cannot be compared with Glory.

Originally, everyone was just having fun together as friends, and the red carpet was just a ceremony to walk in, they didn't think too much about it.

It's not like Glory hasn't met other people in the entertainment industry before. Everyone is very friendly as soon as the variety shows or activities start recording. The Blue Hat Band they met before didn't have any airs at all. Even when they met other idol groups, such as the seniors from Qilin, Qu Shoubai would go and say hello to everyone and get along well with them.

The award ceremonies for some other smaller awards are more like a gathering for fun. To them, it seems like another form of large-scale variety show, which is not so obvious.

The older and younger generations, actors and idols, it turns out there are such strict rules here.

They certainly would not argue here, and had no intention of making things difficult for the organizers. They first apologized politely and said they were sorry that they had not thought it through. Liu Hao also didn't take it to heart and walked through the red carpet first, and the matter was over.

But Li Chu was still somewhat affected.

He realized that in the top stage of Vanity Fair, the "Audience Choice Awards", even the slightest difference in treatment can reflect the difference in status, so it is particularly strict. This time, the young idols feel like they have entered a new world.

——It turns out that the time to walk on the red carpet, the length of time to stay, the order of interviews by the host, the clothes worn, the jewelry and watches worn, and the seats after entering the venue all have rules and can be compared.

I used to think that this was just a comparison made by fans when they were bored, but in reality, this matter is clearly made public in this circle.

Li Chu's attitude towards the stage is relatively pure. He has been looking forward to this award for a long time, but such a scene makes him feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Mr. Sheng came over again, and even came up to us, looking very concerned, and asked, "What's wrong? Who here has offended our Xiao Chu?"

But Li Chu's aggrieved face was immediately put away in front of outsiders. He didn't know this person, so he immediately stood next to Su Ning and said, "No, I just want to talk to President Su."

He was a little affected by the environment, but after telling Su Ning about it, nothing happened. He was not such a fragile person. Shen Mingzheng happened to be away, so he just took the opportunity to act coquettishly.

Su Ning also stopped him and turned around and said, "Mr. Sheng, this is still a ceremony, there is no need to be so anxious, right? Besides, I think we have already discussed it before."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you guys chat," he left quickly and raised his glass to Li Chu again, "Today's award ceremony is very interesting. You are still young, so watch more and play more. You don't have to listen to the agent for everything."

Li Chu frowned, feeling uncomfortable with what he said.

What's wrong with him just listening to Su Ning?

Afterwards, Su Ning comforted him and coaxed him to make him feel better. There were many cameras and some media here, and they couldn't be photographed with any unhappy look. Besides, the show was about to start, and the two of them couldn't stay together for too long.

"It's okay, I'm here, don't worry about him," Su Ning said, "It's almost time to start, be good, go back and sit with them first."

Li Chu nodded. After returning to his seat, he approached Qu Shoubai and said, "I think the person in charge of Yuedong is very strange. It seems that Mr. Su doesn't get along with him. Captain, go ask him. I think he is targeting our group. It's weird."

Su Ning is like this. If there is a problem, he will solve it himself, but Li Chu is not someone who is waiting for him to save him.

If something happens, he won't sit and wait for death.

Qu Shoubai is very good at socializing. He started looking for his phone to ask people when he heard the words. Zhou Heng and Wang Ruoyi were standing next to him and also heard what he said. Ji Mowei thought for a while and said, "Be careful today. I don't think it's that simple."

The seven of them nodded in unison.

What happened on the red carpet was just a small shock. The people at Glory were not new to the world and they quickly adjusted their mood.

The idol award ceremony was not that fast, and there was also a performance by Glory in the middle, singing a ballad. Their treatment today was actually quite good, but after the singing, Zhu Lan and Mr. Sheng were waiting there, just like waiting for something to happen.

“Well sung!”

Mr. Sheng smiled and said, "Would you like to take a rest over there? I have prepared a rest room."

Li Chu frowned when he saw him like this, but remained polite and said, "No, the ceremony isn't over yet, we have to go back. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Okay. Your President Su is really insisting on his own way. Xiao Chu, I think you are straightforward," President Sheng said, "Actually, it's like this. We at Yuedong Video want to find you to film a movie. They are all very good roles. As you have seen today, actors have always had a very high status in the circle. Many idols want to film a movie..."

He said a lot of things in that place, but the members of the group looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, there is something going on here.

This man deliberately stopped them when Su Ning wasn't looking and said these things. His words were really eloquent, but the seven people took a step back without leaving a trace.

Acting? That's a nice way to put it.

In their eyes, the next album was more important. Moreover, after Li Chu's reminder, the exciting products they had just searched and seen were really not that good.

Zhu Lan didn't say much, but she kept staring at the actions of the seven people, wanting to see their reactions now that Su Ning was not around, and whether they could be persuaded.

Even the most popular celebrities in the circle were very excited to see Mr. Sheng's status, but these seven young idols who looked young and gullible were not very excited. Instead, they looked at them very warily, and became more and more wary as they talked.

Zhu Lan:……?

Wait, didn’t Glory fans say that these seven guys were pretty smart?

She felt that even when Su Ning was not around, these people seemed to be on his side, and he was not as gullible as people said on the Internet.

Two of them were top artists. She didn't say a word and just stood aside. Zhou Heng and Wang Ruoyi looked at her like a liar, as if this was some kind of scam.
