Chapter 67
It turned out that 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 showed his attitude.
Su Ning does not mean to look down on idol dramas. Idol drama itself is a very broad concept. If you have to say it, 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 trick fans into paying for them, 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 so popular that even young actors with good traffic can’t grab them, so it’s 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 it can be said that the Shen family has always had such a relationship. It is indeed a good way to make money. She looked at Su Ning's face and wanted to persuade him.
"Boss Su, it's a very normal choice for idols to act in dramas when they become famous. They can play the leading role right away. How many people don't have such an opportunity?" She said, "Think about it carefully. This is clearly a win-win situation."
There was no way Su Ning could be so easily fooled by these few words.
When filming a drama, besides the crew, casting is also very important. Otherwise, Shen Mingzheng would not personally hire someone for the leading role of a drama. According to conventional thinking in the industry, if a famous person or someone who has become a hot topic is chosen as the leading role, the drama is almost halfway to success.
But where there are good roles, there are naturally bad roles.
This kind of shoddy drama can be shot and released on the Internet platform within a few months. As long as there is traffic, there is no loss. You can also negotiate with advertisers for product placement and hang a Glory PPT. Even if the script is not out yet, you can attract investment and advertising resources. It is a sure win.
Of course, he also knows that it is easy to make money this way, but the quality of the dramas produced in this way is often not guaranteed. This is not in line with his usual work philosophy, nor does it meet his requirements for light and shadow entertainment.
None of Glory members are from professional backgrounds, they haven't been famous for long, and although their fans are enthusiastic, they haven't completely established themselves in the idol circle. Su Ning is not stopping them from filming, but he feels that 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 in such a hurry.
Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
It sounds like it's appropriate for young idols to act in idol dramas, but performing a drama and being on stage are completely different things. It seems like a bigger and better resource, but it's irresponsible to send them to act rashly.
The topic was getting more and more into a dead end. Su Ning was still sitting there, but his hands were clenched on the back of the chair, which meant that he was a little angry.
"impossible."
He said, "There's no need to talk about it. Glory won't act in that kind of drama."
He said it with such finality that even Zhu Lan couldn't change his mind.
She originally thought that this person was a little different from Shen Mingzheng, but now it seems that in some matters, he is just a copy and paste of Shen Mingzheng, leaving no room for any leeway.
Mr. Sheng was naturally unhappy because he kept hitting a wall with him, but he didn't lose his temper because he cared about 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 again: "Yuedong and the Shen family have a lot of cooperation, and the old man attaches great importance to it. If you really want to be in the Shen family... you should attach importance to this cooperation."
Her instructions were clear enough, 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: "You make this decision, and you must bear the consequences."
Su Ning knows.
He can accept having to switch to a smaller platform, but he won't sacrifice the future of others.
As soon as Zhu Lan left, many people came in one after another. The heads of various companies in the industry kept coming to say hello. Although the previous talks broke down, 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 section, it also has awards for movies and TV series. Many actors of all kinds come, and idols are just a part of them.
Now Glory is also preparing to walk the red carpet. The Audience Choice Awards ceremony is the first time they have participated in a serious major award. The importance of the award ranks among the top five nationwide and it is also very important in the idol circle.
In particular, Glory has been nominated for an award - this year's Most Popular New Group Award.
She had already taken the lead in the early audience voting phase, and although there is still a judging phase, she can be said to be the popular choice, and fans jokingly said that they came and just waited to receive the award.
After a while, Su Ning, who was in the backstage, 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 looked 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 welcome to walk around. Su Ning waved his hand and Li Chu came over on his own initiative.
"What's wrong?" Su Ning saw him standing beside him and asked him in a low voice, "Who offended you here? Tell me."
Li Chu shook his head and said, "No one provokes me."
Although he said that, he still pouted slightly in front of Su Ning, looking as if he had suffered some kind of injustice.
He didn't know how to tell Su Ning. Maybe he had protected her too well during this period of time and he almost forgot how complicated this circle was.
There was 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 red carpet has reserved seats, he can't go in with you."
Lin Zhi also explained: "It's okay, we are good friends, we don't mind."
The organizer looked at him and explained helplessly: "Even if you agree, you don't mind, but the people behind you will mind. There are several actors behind you, and the order will be messed up later."
These words almost made it clear that Liu Hao's status was not high enough.
In fact, Liu Hao’s performance in releasing songs as an idol is not bad. He even received an invitation letter tonight and was even nominated for a 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, so 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 show or event starts recording. The Blue Hat Band they met before didn’t put on airs at all. Even when they met other idol groups, such as the seniors from Qilin, Qu Shoubai would take everyone to say hello and get along well with them.
Some other award ceremonies for smaller prizes are more like a gathering for fun. To them, it seems like another form of large-scale variety show, which is not so obvious.
Seniors and juniors, actor idols, it turns out there are such strict rules here.
They certainly would not argue here, nor did they mean to embarrass the organizer. They first apologized politely and said sorry that they had not thought it through. Liu Hao also didn't take it to heart and walked on the red carpet and went in. The matter was over.
But Li Chu was still somewhat affected.
He realized that in the top-level fame and fortune stage like the "Audience Choice Awards", even the slightest difference in treatment can seem to reflect the difference in status, so he is particularly strict. This time, the young idols feel like they have entered a new world.
——It turns out that the time to walk the red carpet, the length of time to stay, the order of interviews with the host, the clothes, 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 something fans compared when they were bored, but in fact, this circle clearly made this matter public.
Li Chu treats the stage more purely and 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 him, looking 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 Mr. Su."
He was a little affected by the environment, but after he told Su Ning about it, it was no problem. 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 blocked 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, watch more and have more fun. You don't have to listen to your agent on everything."
Li Chu frowned, feeling uncomfortable with what he said.
What's wrong with him just listening to Su Ning!
After that, Su Ning comforted him and coaxed him to make him feel better. There were many cameras and some media here, and he couldn't be photographed with a gloomy 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 weird. It seems that Mr. Su doesn't get along well with him. Captain, go ask him. I think he's targeting our group. It's weird."
Su Ning is like this. If there is a problem, he will solve it by himself, but Li Chu is not someone who is waiting for him to save him.
If something happens, he won't sit there and wait for it to happen.
Qu Shoubai is very good at socializing. He started looking for his phone to ask people when he heard it. Zhou Heng and Wang Ruoyi were nearby and also heard it. 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 inexperienced and 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 they finished singing, Zhu Lan and Mr. Sheng were waiting there, like they were waiting for someone to come to them.
“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 CEO Su is really stubborn. Xiao Chu, I think you are straightforward," said CEO Sheng. "Actually, we at Yuedong Video want to find you to act in 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 act in movies..."
He was blocking the way and saying a lot, but the members of the group looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes.
Sure enough, something is happening here.
This person had deliberately stopped them and said these things when Su Ning wasn't looking. His words were very eloquent, but all seven of them took a step back without leaving a trace.
Acting? That sounds good.
In their eyes, the next album is more important. Moreover, after Li Chu's reminder, the outputs of Yuedong that they just searched and saw 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 stars in the circle were very excited to see someone of Mr. Sheng's status, but these seven young idols who looked young and gullible were not that 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 weren’t very smart?
She felt that even if Su Ning was not there, these people seemed to be on his side, and they were not as easy to deceive as people said on the Internet.
Two of them were artists from Jianfeng. She didn't say a word and just stood aside. Zhou Heng and Wang Ruoyi looked at her as if she were a liar, as if this was some kind of scam.
