Chapter 1159 The entertainment circle in the country of sticks [Part 1]

"No wonder you don't know me, and you don't know the meaning of what happened to me today. In the past ten years, there have been 12 celebrities in our entertainment industry who have committed suicide. They are all popular A-list celebrities, and some died of online violence. More

I was forced to death by unspoken rules. If it weren’t for you today, I might also..."

The woman said, a little choked up. Being a star doesn't mean you make much money, but the risks behind it are countless.

No, Yang Xuan has always liked to watch comedy programs. He only watches the news once in a while. The international situation is something that a celebrity would watch, and he doesn’t need to watch the news every day.

I don’t know much about the entertainment industry in my own country, let alone the entertainment industry in Bangzi country. However, it seems that an artist from Bangzi country committed suicide in the past few years, which caused an uproar.

"Queen of the Reds, check information about Bangzi Country's entertainment industry."

"Wait a moment, data query is in progress..."

In a few breaths, the Red Queen not only searched for the information, but also compiled the information before playing it on Yang Xuan's glasses.

According to the official survey figures released by Bangzi Country, 45.3% of Bangzi Country’s female artists have been asked to accompany male dignitaries, and 62.8% of Bangzi Country’s female artists have been asked by related parties or powerful people in society to receive special treatment. In these horrific situations,

Behind the figures are the huge benefits created by Bangzi Country’s crazy entertainment industry chain and the terrifying curse of the extremely high suicide rate of Bangzi Country stars.

In 2017 alone, the scale of Bangziguo’s entertainment industry reached an astonishing US$42 billion, bringing a large amount of direct or indirect huge revenue to the Bangziguo chaebol group.

But behind these seemingly glamorous entertainment circles, there are horrific news of actors committing suicide one after another.

The Red Queen not only collected news, but also played a slide show of some photos of celebrities who committed suicide in Bangzi Country.

Yang Xuan looked at them and shook his head. They were all in their prime years, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful. It's a pity that being a star in Bangzi Country looked like a life-or-death Hunger Games.

Several celebrities were driven to death by online violence. Yang Xuan scratched the corner of his mouth. It seems that there are more and more keyboard warriors nowadays. The most troublesome thing is that the number of keyboard warriors in his own country has also begun to increase.

However, one good thing about my country is that the IP addresses on the Internet are all bound. In addition, no matter what website or chat software is now real-name, if someone is killed, the initiator will basically be unable to escape.

In Bangzi Country, almost all young people with dreams of becoming stars need to go through hell-like trainee training that is even more terrifying than the college entrance examination.

At first, they let the entertainment company select raw materials one by one. Once selected, they will be required to sign a super-long contract of 7 to 15 years, and the training fees are actually paid in advance.

If the debut is successful, it will be repaid with future income. If not, then he will be burdened with heavy debts and become a loser. After the contract is signed, the hellish trainee career begins.

All selected candidates will undergo an industrialized high-intensity training process, with more than 10 hours of daily practice, and many people sleep less than 3 hours a day.

And this kind of cramming star-making process also faces a huge elimination rate. In the end, only one of the 20 people may actually debut and become a star and be remembered.

However, the life of celebrities is still a slave-like life. Many people can only take one week off every year. In order to maintain exposure and generate revenue for the company, a large number of celebrities have countless announcements scheduled every day. Their lives are either at work or on the way to work.

Anyone who can sleep 3 to 4 hours a day is lucky. Of course, some people can't stand it and want to terminate the contract, so that's cool. The liquidated damages for terminating the contract are generally as high as hundreds of billions of Korean won, which is billions of Chinese dollars.

You must know that this is a star from Bangzi Country. Most celebrities are almost broke. How can they afford billions of dollars in wealth?

Because when Bangzi Country stars were trainees, they had already signed extremely unequal contracts that could be described as slave selling. 90% of the stars’ income was often divided by the company, leaving only 10% for them.

, and this is before tax only.

Of course, there are also those who are unlucky. If the celebrities debuted in a group, then they have to divide the 10% equally before they can finally pocket the money.

If it is a group of five people and the activity is exhausting, each person may only receive 2% of the income.

The cannibalistic nature of capitalism is even more vividly reflected in the entertainment industry of Bangzi Country. Many stars have become trainees.

The moment a student signs a 15-year selling contract with the company, he has become a tool for the plutocrats to make money, no different from a butcher's pig or a dairy farmer's cow.

Of course, some powerful group members will also choose to resist. A few years ago, one group jointly sued an artist management company to stop an extremely unequal slave contract.

That powerful group sold 500,000 copies of their album, and in the end each member only received 10 million won, which is about 60,000 Chinese dollars.

No one can tolerate this. In the country of Bangzi and China, it is very likely that this company will be smashed, and its reputation is definitely bad. There will be no artists or celebrities to join such a blood-sucking company.

Not to mention, this group really got rid of the company contract by relying on the law, and formed a new group to start freely showing off their talents in the entertainment industry of Bangzi Country, but they were quickly blocked by their old club.

All traffic and exposure began to have nothing to do with them.

In Bangzi Country, if you fight against the chaebol group, even if you are a real dragon-slaying warrior, you will not be able to escape the Five Elements Mountains blocked by capital. If you want to get involved in the entertainment industry of Bangzi Country, sooner or later you will have to tolerate sexism, size discrimination, and appearance discrimination.

And all kinds of weird discrimination.

Many celebrities do not even have enough control over their own faces. Under the request of powerful agencies, many celebrities who did not want plastic surgery were forced to have plastic surgery. Some were forced to have their noses padded, and some were forced to have plastic surgery.

I had my eyes opened and my double eyelids cut, and the most pitiful thing was that I was forced to increase my height.

Under the strict requirements of the economic company, you cannot eat too much or get too fat. If it is your choice, controlling your diet may be a personal dedication, but the artists of Bangzi Country must strictly control it under the terrifying oppression of the economic company.

diet.

The company will test the weight of artists almost every week. This sense of oppression is sometimes more terrifying than doping tests in the sports world. In addition, stars in Bangzi Country often face criticism from countless keyboard warriors. If they are not careful, they will

Become a target of public criticism.

From a national idol admired by stars to a shameless scum despised by everyone, it may happen overnight.
