Seeing that his own popular student has been "poached" is irreversible, the agent should not come late to break the ice and take the initiative to tell the marketing account of the artist's bad past when he was young, and a spectacular collapse of the "staffing" event started on the Internet.
Two weeks after the launch of "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", the audience's comments are very similar: true, true to the "penetration industry". As described in the core plot of episodes 17 and 18, each clause points to some chaos in the entertainment industry: the competition for stars is often just a token of chasing traffic; The so-called "crisis management" may also be a bit of a grasp of "thick black science"; Some "bloody" troublemakers are not so much the savage growth of the marketing number as the "revelations" behind the marketing number; In the Internet era, the "people set" often collapses, lifting curtain after curtain of shame cloth that does not match morality.
By the end of "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", if the audience is still keen on revealing the entertainment circle in a "right seat" way, then this work is not as "bold" as it claims.
For practitioners in the circle, boundless feelings have emerged as early as the show was launched. IP superstition, script "magic change", artists playing, fans chasing private affairs... Following the birth of a work, pieces of pieces are familiar in recent years. Everything is based on data, flow and capital, and creation is put in a less important position. "Blame you for being too beautiful" almost "reflects the bizarre and bizarre nature of the entertainment industry".
As always, it is the virtue of a workplace drama to dare to "knife edge inward" to analyze the industry. But this time the situation is special. The more it "penetrates the industry", the more people have mixed feelings - to write about the industry with reflection, which is of course the merit of creation; However, what needs further observation is that this industry play dares to start from itself and get rid of some of the "fallacy" rules disclosed by it - abandoning those curious and pompous dramas and publicizing the true "soul of the industry".
As for the strange things in the entertainment industry under the surge of hot money, they have broken through one by one
Mo Xiangwan, played by Qin Lan, is a gold medal broker. With her work as the center, the plot radiates like an Ukiyoyo painting in the performance circle in recent years. At that time, capital settled in and many industries crossed the border to participate in the development of the entertainment industry. For a period of time, hot money surged, and the mode of capital operation was once above creation as the standard. At the same time, the rise of the Internet and "food circle culture" has also accelerated the fission of the entertainment industry. All these things are what people in the play are accustomed to, and they are also strange things in the entertainment industry that are constantly disclosed in reality.
In the play, Mo always faces her workplace problems and asks for solutions; Outside the play, the audience summarized four aspects of chaos.
Spend money to make a big play: both the United Media and Qili Culture in the play want to do "s+" level big projects. Although the original intentions of the two companies are different, the purpose of going straight to interests is so consistent that the marriage between film and television and capital is inevitable. Infatuated with "big ip+traffic": Yu Jiang, played by Wang Yaoqing, wants to compete for the copyright of "Biography of Cloud Xiang", and also binds the original author's subsequent trilogy. The businessman calculates that it is not a dream to make profits of 100 million yuan with three top ip and two "top class" actors under the company. "Tear" is the first word: tear resources, tear positions, tear awards, tear competitors... In order to win for Lin Xiang's role in the big ip drama, Mo Xiangwan asked the drama party to change the main male drama into the main female drama, and proposed to bind their own artists to form a group of cps; In order to grab resources, Lin Xiang forced the female owner of the new play to the second female part, but he had to catch up with the progress by means of cutting images, green screen shooting in the shed, etc. The "fan economy" is placed above the works: for its artists, Mo Xiangxi often talks about the "big data era", and everything depends on fans
"Blame you for being too beautiful" is like a sword, which pierces the bubble verified one by one in reality with the plot progress. As witnessed by the capital market, many "VAM agreements" may have hidden dangers. Those who advocate "ip and traffic" will eventually understand that ip is just a noun, the content is not up to standard, and the audience will not just pay for "the name of ip"; "Top flow" is not a panacea. The acting skills are not up to the standard. The greater the flow, the greater the criticism. The vicious competition between companies will inevitably suffer. However, "rice circle culture" and "fan economy" can also be overturned sometimes.
Apart from the "Your Circle Is Really Chaotic", what can this play leave behind
It is undoubtedly the ambition of the creators to expose the shortcomings of the entertainment industry in the form of drama. Entertainment events that are always "hot to see" can be performed in the play. Audiences who watch the play while "playing and watching" also call them "cool".
But that may be the problem. After revealing some of the truth of "Your Circle is really messy", what can this play leave behind?
As far as the play "Blame you for being too beautiful" is concerned, it captures "reality", but it lacks a kind of examination. It does let the audience see through some phenomena that the entertainment industry has experienced or is experiencing, but it still remains to strengthen the stereotype that the industry is "big dye vat", "thick black science", "dark forest", etc. More subtly, looking at the creation of the same type, "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful" is not the first drama set in the entertainment industry. In 2019 alone, there were many works such as "The King Behind the Scenes", "Hot Search Queen", "Fall in Love with the Big Dipper Boyfriend", and "The Most Shining Star in the Night Sky". They started from a variety show producer, actor, screenwriter and other cultural and entertainment professions. Although these works have different levels in the concentration of love and radiation to reality, similarly, the entertainment circle in the story has been portrayed as a "Shura Field", and people in the circle have to perform "mind attack".
In order to advance from a "real" workplace drama to a "smart" workplace drama, Blame You Are Too Beautiful still needs more objective perspectives to broaden the audience's understanding of the industry, and should also have more positive output of industry values to tell or prove what the industry should adhere to, namely, "drama is bigger than the sky", "quality is king" and "craftsmanship spirit". At the end of the whole play, if the audience is still keen on revealing the entertainment circle in a "right seat" way, then this work is not as "bold" as it claims.
