Talking about the food chain

After watching many reports that fans support idols and watching many videos of idols jumping off the street, people feel that their star status is too high now.

In fact, what we see from reports and videos is always the appearance, and the entertainment circle also has a food chain. Stars are not the highest-ranking people, and sometimes their status is even as humble as ordinary fans.

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

First, stars are also divided into traffic and coffee spots.

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

In other activities, there has also been news that "small fresh meat flows in the front row, and senior old bones is in the background".

Not to mention that Zhu Shimao took Peisi Chen, Ying Da and Vivian Wu to attend Happy Camp, which was dismissed as a joke with no wrist.

It can be seen that in the entertainment circle, small traffic is the original sin. Nobody cares about your masterpiece, how good your acting is, and whether you are virtuous and artistic. As long as you have traffic, even a scandal is better than no traffic and no topic.

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

Of course not.

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

No matter how good a star is, he has to listen to the director when filming. Of course, the premise is that the great director has a strong voice in choosing actors, and even the best stars are also "vulnerable groups" in front of the great director. People we are familiar with, such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Xiaogang Feng and Zhang Jizhong, can basically cover all the stars in the entertainment circle, and no matter how big they are, they should be honored to cooperate with them.

In addition, some brokers with relatively abundant resources have to surpass the stars in status, such as Wang Jinghua, a famous Beijing-based broker, whose top artists emerge one after another, and can even join her in job hopping. In the face of such a broker, the status of a star is also inferior.

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

Therefore, many stars will condescend to give gifts to staff and hosts when they are at 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, stars are also considered as the weak side.

In addition, the brokerage company is also a strong side in front of the stars. For example, the famous Huayi Brothers Company once gathered a group of top directors and stars in the entertainment industry, and had a strong say in the work arrangements of these directors and stars, and even decided their career prospects. Stars dare not have the slightest say in this.

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

Not yet.

Third, investors and capital are stronger.

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 crocodile" and can decide the role candidates for many films. In fact, General Manager Sun is the film and television investor who can directly decide the employment plan of a film and television drama.

It is said that the great director is powerful, but in the process of shooting, the director also has to listen to the producer, who represents the investor.

On the internet, we often see photos of some stars or even big stars being robbed in the wine bureau. The middle-aged people who look slightly greasy around the stars are mostly investors or people in the investment circle. Anyway, directors and stars can't afford to offend people.

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

Big capital can control film and television companies and media, not just individual stars, 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 plays, but you have to listen to the 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 politics and business. Just see which word comes first.

The simplest case is that a document of 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 capitals, even the finished drama may not be broadcast, and all the money invested will be wasted. Who are you talking about?

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

It's actually simple. The audience is both big fish and shrimp. The entertainment industry has produced so many products, and 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 is, there is no need for SARFT to put it on record.

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