Chapter 687 Frustrated Windsor
As the national champion of the sand painting competition last year, Windsora's experience became even more depressed. The 27th round of the competition abroad was cancelled, and various publicity and promotion activities came to an abrupt end after half of the time. The signing company did not even have any explanation.
Her promotion outside is better than helping Lin Zaishan do some sand paintings and MVs online to promote it better.
However, the number of sand paintings MVs released on the beyond website has been reduced and the number of views has decreased.
Without the strong push from the upper class, even ordinary people are not enthusiastic about sand paintings.
This is the most unacceptable reality for Windsora.
Although Lin Zaishan still supports Windsora to continue creating sand paintings, he looked at the carefully designed and produced sand paintings MV, and no one liked them. The enthusiasm of the beyond sand painting department led by Windsora was severely frustrated. Several people, including Yuan Yue, have applied to the company for adjustment departments. They do not want to waste their sand paintings, and making sand paintings makes them really unable to see the future and hope.
Windsora herself will definitely not give up on sand paintings easily.
But the cruel situation made her unable to bear it anymore.
She and Lin Zaishan opened their hearts and talked about the future several times, and each time they showed great concern.
She didn't want to make a name for herself or whatever she wanted. If she wanted to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, she would not continue to choose to study for a doctorate in school.
What she was sad was that the career she loved collapsed, which made her instantly lose her sense of existence in society. No matter how hard she tried to continue making sand paintings, it seemed as if she was entertaining herself and she could not get the recognition of others at all.
Friends around her, like Yuan Yue and others, all left the sand paintings, which caused Windsora to suffer a great setback. She didn't know if she should continue to work sand paintings in beyond company.
She had no problem "entering" herself at school, but she was a director at Beyond and enjoyed high salaries to do these things, but she could not bring any benefits to the company and could even have negative impacts on the company, which made Windsora particularly feel deserving of it.
She had resigned twice with Lin Zaishan, hoping to resign from her position as the director of sand paintings in beyond company, give up the commercialization of sand paintings, and return to school to adhere to and carry forward their hobbies, so that she would not add any burden to beyond.
Lin Zaishan understands Windsora's mood very well.
In fact, not only sand paintings, there are many traditional folk art forms, but they are unsustainable due to insufficient attention and development, and eventually gradually wither and decline. This is the most hurtful for practitioners in related fields.
In a sense, music, as an enduring art form, is also undergoing severe tests, especially in the field of pop music, where the difficulties faced are no smaller than sand paintings.
How many musicians have left this industry sadly because they cannot get recognition and cannot fill their stomachs. This is the most heartbreaking result.
The impetuous society is accelerating the destruction of traditional craftsmen, just as the developing industry is destroying nature.
News always reports how many species are on the verge of extinction today, but who will count and report how many traditional art forms in human society are on the verge of extinction?
One day, will the art form of music be on the verge of extinction?
Lin Zaishan didn't want to see such a thing happen, so he started from small things. Since he met Windsora who loved Sai painting, he would do his best to help Windsora to inherit her craftsmanship.
You can’t say what the emperor likes, but the people will promote it. If you change the emperor later, and he doesn’t like this, will the people just be in vain?
Don’t dare to disrespect if you give good gifts. This is right. But if you can’t say that you can play good football, the whole nation has to promote football sports, that would be too funny.
Some things are promoted and improved from top to bottom, but some things cannot achieve results by relying on top to bottom impetuousness and investment, but must be slowly consolidated and accumulated and developed from bottom to bottom.
Just like the art form of sand painting, it was originally a quiet visual art, and it had to be so exaggerated. Is its ending good?
Now that the above finally stops making a fool of themselves, this will hit the enthusiasm of many sand painting practitioners, but in the long run, this may not be a bad thing.
As long as practitioners can continue to do their work steadily and rely on their own improvements to attract public attention, rather than relying on some force to force the public to see this, people are willing to pay spontaneous attention, and I believe that this industry will still have a good prospect.
Lin Zaishan did not accept Windsora's resignation, and he insisted on letting Windsora be responsible for sand painting projects in the company. He believed that as long as he did it with his heart, he would always achieve results if he persisted.
Compared with previous long-term expectations, their future achievements will not be too brilliant, but compared to the destruction of one day, the achievements they persist in may be more valuable.
As for the sense of identity and presence that Windsora lacks, Lin Zaishan will not be able to help her solve it for a while, and she can only accept and change it slowly.
Also, Windsora felt that the salary of the director she received in the company was too high and she could not achieve corresponding work results at all, which put her on a lot of psychological pressure.
This aspect is easy to deal with. Anyway, the Sha Painting Department is now a bit like a dead end. Lin Zaishan asked Windsora to help her reduce her salary.
Beyond is not short of money now. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to support talents every year is not a big deal for Beyond, but not everyone thinks that money is good. Some people think that money is hot. If the money is too much, it will put pressure on people. In this way, Beyond will pay a high salary to Windsora, which is a bit thankless.
According to Windsora, beyond the salary given to Windsora was reduced to one-third of the previous one, but the sand painting part was still retained.
The Sand Painting Department continued to use sand painting to promote beyond music as planned, and used music to promote the development of sand painting.
After the future, after the beyond film department is established, sand paintings will also become a powerful part of the movies produced by beyond.
Lin Zaishan even thought that the logos of beyond movies in the future will be made of sand paintings. The classic Hollywood logos, like the roar of the lion, the goddess of victory, and the children fishing on the moon, are presented in a variety of ways, but it seems that no film company's logos are presented with sand paintings. If this is done well, it should give people a very high-end feeling and will also give Windsora the greatest confidence and support.
Another thing Lin Zaishan thought about is that Windsora lacks the sense of identity mainly because of the lack of public recognition of sand painting. Often, if an industry wants to gain public attention and recognition, a top star must be produced within the industry to drive the development of this industry.
Looking at the current sand painting world, no one is more competent in the identity of the spokesperson in this industry than Windsora.
Previously, Windsora was the national champion of the sand painting competition and was appointed as an important task to endorse China's painting painting. However, because the sand painting industry fell into an ice cellar, her attention dwindled sharply, and the influence of her spokesperson gradually declined.
To change this situation, there is actually a good way to make Windsora enter the entertainment industry and become a big star in the entertainment industry, and then endorse the industry she is engaged in as a big star, so that the driving effect will become effective.
However, Windsora had talked with Lin Zaishan before, including her parents, and they didn't want her to get into the entertainment industry and didn't want her to go through those complicated trials.
But the situation has changed now. If Windsora wants to continue to devote herself to the sand painting career and use all her strength to promote the development of this industry, then she must make a choice.
Lin Zaishan has been talking about these things with Windsora during this period. Windsora has a certain retreat and hesitation attitude towards entering the entertainment industry. She is actually quite afraid of doing this industry.
Fortunately, having a big backer like Lin Zaishan can help her block out a lot of unnecessary sacrifices and troubles, which gives her a little courage to follow the path Lin Zaishan pointed out for her.
Lin Zaishan asked Windsora to enter the entertainment industry, not to let Windsora take on many shows as an actor, or sing and become a singer. Maybe she is not really the material.
It is still hard to make a conclusion whether Windsora can act or not, but Windsora is definitely not a singer, so Lin Zaishan can see this clearly. Her natural musical feeling is really bad and she is not suitable for singing.
With her very reserved and slightly restrained personality, she doesn't seem to be suitable for acting.
But if you can’t sing or not acting, you must be a big star? This is not necessarily the case.
There are many such examples in another world. Some female stars can become top-notch stars by just walking on the fashion week. There is also the sister who has a coquettish voice. She has a very bad singing skills and her acting skills are not very good, but she has made a fortune by relying on her high emotional intelligence and outstanding appearance.
Windsora's outstanding appearance is her killer weapon for becoming a big star. In addition, she also has magical sand painting skills, which is even better promoted.
If beyond is well operated, he will push Windsora on movies or variety shows he produced. Even if he is used as a vase and decoration for her, he can quickly promote her to become a very popular artist with her talent.
As for Windsora and her parents' concern that the entertainment industry is too complicated and will change the girl's personality, Lin Zaishan can make a promise to them that as long as Windsora is still outside the day, he will be confident that he can help Windsora filter out those black and black rules.
If Windsara becomes popular in the future, she changes herself and wants to climb other high branches, then Lin Zaishan will be out of reach. But as long as she is still outside the day, Lin Zaishan will have the confidence to let her enjoy the pure land in the entertainment industry.
In fact, almost all the artists beyond now have encountered any unspoken rules, including Liu Mengmeng, who wanted Lin Zaishan to hide her so much, and Lin Zaishan was unmoved.
Others like Tang Yaxuan, Zhang Hao and others enjoy the purest entertainment soil. The little soil nutrients with unspoken rules here are just beyond the company's own care for them, and there is absolutely no cross-line thing happening.
Lin Zaishan attaches great importance to the company's reputation and rules in this regard. He will never allow the company's senior management to rely on the rights in hand to disrupt the internal relationships of the company. Some things may happen secretly. Lin Zaishan doesn't know, and Lin Zaishan has no choice but to let Lin Zaishan know, but as long as Lin Zaishan knows, then the senior management will not want to get in the company.
Fortunately, such a thing has not happened yet, and Lin Zaishan couldn't find a chance to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
In the future, beyond will develop and grow stronger. This kind of thing will definitely happen. Rights and ** are born together. This is an eternal truth.
But as the company's supreme leader, Lin Zaishan firmly believes that as long as he is well in this position, the company will definitely develop in a clean direction and will not let these messy things shake the company's foundation.
Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Only by doing your own good first can he truly imitate and convince his subordinates.
Then let’s talk about the classic in "The Analects of Confucius": "If you give me good gifts, no one dares to disrespect; if you like righteousness, no one dares to disobey; if you like faith, no one dares not to be merciless." This is reliable.
...
January 28, 2009.
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Donghai Chemical Group held its annual company commendation meeting and annual meeting.
Lin Zaishan was invited to attend the annual meeting in Donghua and brought Liu Mengmeng and Mi Zhiwen to Donghua's employees with musical blessings from beyond.
This is the 18th annual meeting of Lin Zaishan this year. All the annual meetings he attended were companies that extended a helping hand to him last year during his most difficult time.
Not only that, he didn't even increase the annual meeting price. He gave it 30,000 last year, but he still wanted 30,000 this year. He also asked for 50,000 last year. He didn't raise the price just because he has become a superstar now, so that those companies can't afford him.
What he did was particularly favored by these business people. Many people were willing to make friends with Lin Zaishan because of this.
Chu Liang, the young prince of Donghua who had a conflict with Lin Zaishan last year, is still in charge of Donghua's annual meeting organization and guests. He had just called Lin Zaishan with the idea of taking a chance, hoping that Super Lin could come to Donghua to sing a song for their employees.
As a result, after Lin Zaishan asked about the schedule, he found that he had time that day. Without saying a word, he agreed to Chu Liang's invitation and did not raise the price to perform, and sent other singers to perform beyond the songs, which moved Chu Liang very much.
Chu Liang now completely regarded Lin Zaishan as his elder brother. He drank too much that night and called Lin Zaishan one by one, claiming to be with his elder brother for the rest of his life, making Lin Zaishan laugh and cry.
Diao Yuehan had previously opposed Lin Zaishan attending these unforgettable annual meetings and performances. You should know that top celebrities in the music industry rarely participate in commercial performances of such unknown small businesses. If you want to attend annual meetings of large companies of the Fortune 500 level, you can not only make a lot of money, but also get to know more funders and get to know more useful relationships.
But Lin Zaishan and Diao Yuehan have completely different ideas in this regard.
In Lin Zaishan's eyes, these companies that once gave him timely help are the companies he pays most attention to. As for those commercial performances that can meet big financial owners, he will not participate in any of them and will not make up for the mess.
