The real entertainment food chain, who is the big fish, who is the small fish and who is the shrimp?

I watched many reports of fans supporting idols and watched many videos of idols jumping out of the street, which made people feel that their star status is too high now.

In fact, what we see from reports and videos is always superficial, and there is also a food chain in the entertainment circle. A star is not the one with the highest status, and sometimes his status is even as humble as that of ordinary fans.

This article will talk about the food chain existing in the entertainment circle, and see who is the big fish, who is the small fish and who is the shrimp in this food chain.

First, the stars are divided into traffic and coffee places

In an entertainment activity, KIWI, a traffic student, couldn't find his seat all over the venue because the staff forgot him. The picture of KIWI wandering around the venue looking for a seat looked rather funny and sad.

In other activities, there has been news that "a small amount of fresh meat is sitting in the front row, and senior old players are in the background".

Not to mention the joke that Zhu Shimao took Peisi Chen, Ying Da, Vivian Wu and others to participate in Happy Camp and was rejected as "no wrist".

It can be seen that in the entertainment circle, a small amount of traffic is the original sin. No one cares about your masterpieces, how good your acting skills are, and whether you are virtuous or artistic. As long as you have traffic, even a scandal is better than no traffic and no topic.

So, are top traffic stars big fish in the entertainment circle?

of course not.

second, there are directors, agents, platforms and companies behind the stars.

No matter how awesome the stars are, they have to listen to the directors when filming. Of course, the premise is that the big directors have a strong voice in choosing actors, and the stars who are awesome are also "vulnerable groups" in front of the big directors. Like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Xiaogang Feng, Zhang Jizhong and others we are familiar with, they can basically take all the stars in the entertainment circle in terms of status, no matter how big the stars are, they should be honored to cooperate with them.

There are also platforms that can condescend stars, such as TV media, video websites, top fashion magazines, etc. They are the units that provide and create traffic, and the size of star traffic directly depends on whether enough traffic can be supplied.

Therefore, many stars condescend to give gifts to the staff and hosts when they were on Happy Camp. What they really care about is not these hosts, but Hunan Satellite TV, the entertainment platform behind the hosts. Compared with these platforms, the stars are also considered the weak side.

In addition, brokerage companies are also strong in front of stars, such as the famous Huayi Brothers Company, which once gathered a group of top directors and stars in the entertainment industry, and had a strong voice over the work arrangements of these directors and stars, and even decided their career prospects, and the stars dared not say anything about it.

So, are these brokerage companies, brokers, media and big directors big fish?

not yet.

Third, investors and capital are more powerful

In the movie "Big shot", there is a role called General Manager Sun. In the film, he is known as the "China film and television investment tycoon" and can decide the role candidates of many films. In fact, General Manager Sun is a film and television investor who can directly decide all the employment plans of a certain film and television drama.

It is said that the great director is great, but in the process of filming, the director has to listen to the producer, who represents the investors.

On the Internet, we often see photos of some stars or even big stars being robbed in wine shops. Most of the middle-aged people who look slightly greasy around the stars are investors or people in the investment circle, and anyway, both directors and stars can't afford to offend them.

in addition, the concept of investor is relatively specific, and there is a broader name in the field of investors, capital.

Big capital can control film and television companies and media, not only a single star, but all screenwriters, directors, producers, brokers and brokerage companies involved in the film and television industry have to listen to the baton of capital.

Wang Hailin, a famous screenwriter, has said many times that investors are the root cause of the rampant drama in the film and television industry. Screenwriters don't want to write drama, but you have to listen to capital. Without capital, there is no money, and there is no money to make any drama.

So, is capital the biggest fish?

Of course not. There is also a term called political business. Let's see which word comes first.

The simplest case is that a single document from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television can shake the whole entertainment circle and even change the pattern of the whole entertainment circle. For some capital, they may not even be able to broadcast the finished play, and all the investment money will be wasted. Who do you think is awesome?

Having said that, who is the big fish and who is the shrimp in the entertainment circle?

Actually, it's simple. The audience is both big fish and shrimp. With so many products produced by the entertainment circle, the ultimate consumers are still the audience, and the audience is the ultimate shrimp, even plankton.

However, the audience also has the right to choose. If the audience collectively boycotts a certain work, a certain star, a certain platform or even a certain capital, no matter how big the fish are, they will stop eating, and they don't need to file with the SARFT. For reference, they are in Jing M.Guo.

Therefore, water can carry a boat or capsize it. In the final analysis, the audience is shrimp and the biggest fish.
