Majors and careers related to entertainment stars~!

1. Engage in editing, publishing, screenwriting, etc.

An editor is a clerical person with professional qualities who is engaged in writing work in this profession. The most important units include publishing houses, magazines, television stations, online media, etc.

In addition to the care, keen observation, good communication, clear logic and analytical skills required in general work, you also need to have a flexible mind with endless creative imagination. Of course, the most basic Excellent writing skills will also be required.

For example: Yu Zheng is a Chinese film and television screenwriter and producer

2. Celebrity assistant, agent

The agent manages the work of the star and helps the star Choose a job and take the job;

Celebrity agents are generally divided into two categories.

One is a "service agent" who helps the artist handle some things after he or she becomes famous.

The second is "professional agents" who have the ability to develop markets. They develop the potential of artists and help them find opportunities.

Such an agent understands art and management, relies on extensive social relationships, a keen market awareness and a good business mind to "package" artists.

Assistants help celebrities do things. Celebrity assistants can also be called celebrities’ nannies; assistants are actually almost the same as nannies. They have food and daily life, what clothes to wear, and what programs are planned every day.

For example: Yi Yang Qianxi and his agent

3. Film and television drama crew members

The general crew structure is as follows:

Director team: director, assistant director, executive director, scene recorder.

Production team: production director, on-site production, life production, external production, supervision, coordination, finance.

Drama team: drama director, drama manager, drama assistant.

Photography team: photographer, assistant photographer, photography assistant, mechanic, lighting engineer, lighting assistant.

Art team: chief artist, associate artist, art assistant and costume, props, makeup and other teams.

Recording team: composed of sound engineer and recorder.

4. Stylist

An emerging profession, also known as "dress matchmaker". Clothing stylists are collectively known as "Stylist" abroad, that is, overall stylists, and Because the development of street fashion has been accepted by the fashion industry and is recognized by the industry as an indicator of fashion popularity, clothing stylists originated from street fashion and are very popular in foreign fashion circles. They are a newly emerging high-paying profession in the fashion circle.

It is a profession that requires personal aesthetic taste and fashion.

For example: Michela Muratori (Michela Muratori), has collaborated with many stars and big names.

Extended information:

The main work of a celebrity agent is as follows:

1. Package stars in an all-round way. This is the main job of an agent. The work includes understanding the personality characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, styling, speech and behavior of celebrities, etc.

2. Represent celebrities in interviews for advertisements, film appointments, contact performances, etc. to create a platform for interpersonal relationships for celebrities. ?

3. Contact entertainment reporters to create a media platform for star development.

4. Under extraordinary circumstances, help celebrities deal with emergencies, create good development space for artists, etc. ?

It can be seen that the entertainment agent has four positions: he is the business representative and legal representative of the star, and he is also the art consultant and life consultant of the star. The income of a broker or company mainly comes from collecting service commissions, which are generally based on a percentage of business revenue.

my country's brokerage industry system is being improved and perfected. The income is generally set at around 3, which is higher than other service industries. However, there is no fixed income number and it depends on the size of the project.

Some people say that agents are corporate publicists who write news and create hype; others say that agents are assistants who help stars handle odd affairs; others say that agents are nannies who help stars carry things and bags.

In fact, "someone" has made it very clear. These are corporate promotions, assistants and nannies (life assistants), but they are by no means the popular gold medal entertainment agents. It is such a small group that stands at the top of the industry pyramid.

In microscopic terms, a gold medal entertainment agent is to discover a large number of potential newcomers, select the one with the most potential, package it for hype, make a lot of money after becoming famous, and those with good taste will also take it. Give some money to donate to charity.

From a macro perspective, they are building artist brands, attracting millions, tens of millions, or even billions of venture capital, using capitalized operations, and tailoring film, television, and music works with the artist as the center. , make huge profits.

Golden entertainment agents are actually capitalists who make money from celebrities. The younger ones say that an entertainment agent is a person, while the older ones say that an entertainment agent is a team, a company, and an interest group.

As the saying goes, benevolence sees benevolence and wisdom sees wisdom. I only see people who are entertainment agents doing babysitting things. It’s okay if they don’t listen to what he/she says.

Any career is divided into high and low levels. Real wise men look at the sky as the future. Agents who make money are by no means nannies. In fact, what they do is integrating resources, management, and marketing.

Countless people are trying to get into Huayi Brothers, into Taihe Wheatfield, into Rookie Media, into SM, want to be an agent for Lee Hom Wang, want to be an agent for Stefanie Sun, want to be an agent for Andy Lau. , Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Aaron Kwok, and Donnie Yen as agents.

What are you going in for? It’s nothing more than using artists to make money. Even if you don’t join Huayi Brothers or Emperor, but you have negotiated to be the spokesperson for Zhang Ziyi or Jackie Chan, in the face of interests, will Huayi Brothers and Emperor not cooperate with you?

Aren’t you working as a celebrity agent at this time? Celebrity resources in the entire entertainment industry are shared by everyone. Everyone has different visions, and not everyone can see that far.

People who invest in stocks know that any industry can be capitalized. When industrial thinking meets capital thinking, it will fail!

The entertainment industry will never reject the power of capital. Companies such as Polybona, Huayi Brothers, and Enlight Media have actively gone public and have already used the power of capital to play in the entertainment industry.

An actor is new to the entertainment industry. He has no reputation and no experience. He keeps meeting with cast members and auditioning for roles until he plays the leading role or the leading role in a blockbuster. How many years of accumulation and how many failures does it take? .

Furthermore, you may not be able to become a brand if you try hard enough. Are the time costs and opportunity costs high? To put it another way, although he is a nobody, through the efforts of a gold medal entertainment agent, a venture capital invested 100 million in him.

The gold medal entertainment agent formed a team to write scripts around him, hired the best teachers to train his acting skills, and arranged for the most avant-garde styling team to fly over from Europe to design his image. The top-tier director produced it, and the top-tier stars teamed up with him to star in the film.

After the first-line stars arrived, they attracted more funds, and the funds attracted the attention of global media... It is the same actor, with completely different development routes under industrial thinking and capital thinking, and behind the scenes operations All this is - a gold medal entertainment agent.

3. Representative figures and their successful experiences

Wang Jinghua (General Manager of Beijing Chengtian Shiba Brokerage Culture Co., Ltd.) is the first generation of cultural brokers in my country.

Since entering the music industry in 1991, he has created China's first singer group - Brothers (Chu Tong Chu Qi) and powerful singers - Gao Feng, Dai Rao, Bai Xue, Li Huizhen, etc.

In 1993, at the invitation of the best actor Chen Daoming, he became a film and television agent. During his more than ten years of agency career, he achieved many successes and became the number one agent in the Mainland.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, he successively cooperated with well-known actors such as Cheng Qian, You Yong, Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, Hu Jun, Liu Wei, Fan Bingbing, and Su Jin, and established Huayi Brothers Taihe Culture in 2000. BROKERS LIMITED.

With the unremitting efforts of Ms. Wang Jinghua, Hong Kong film and television stars Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau, Michelle Yeoh, Anita Yuen, and Sandra Ng have successively joined the company. They have been highly praised by people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and are known as "gold medal agents" ".

In 2005, Wang Jinghua joined Chengtian Entertainment and officially established Chengtian Shiba Cultural Agency Co., Ltd. In less than a year, Chengtian 18 has rapidly grown into the largest entertainment agency with the largest number of actors and the most professional business operations in China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan).

At present, in addition to acting agents, Wang Jinghua is actively exploring the Japanese, Korean, European and American entertainment markets. Its artists Xia Yu, Li Xiaolu, etc. have participated in the filming of many Hollywood production series under Wang Jinghua's strong recommendation.

Famous directors Jiang Wen, Guan Jinpeng, Liu Weiqiang, and well-known art director Zhang Shuping have joined the company.

According to the analysis of authoritative people in the industry, after gold medal agent Wang Jinghua joins Global Heat Brothers Audio and Video Culture, he will build Global Heat Brothers Audio and Video Culture into the largest and most professional performing arts agency in Southeast Asia and even Asia.

In 2009, she joined Global Heat Brothers Audio and Video Culture in order to build Heat Brothers into a powerful Asian group. Wang Jinghua, this woman was also seen riding a bicycle to meet the crew in 2000.

Now I own several houses in Beijing and a company called "Shiba Culture". The only product the latter sells is celebrities. Some celebrities have been selling for more than ten years, such as Chen Daoming and Carina Lau. , Hu Jun. If you open a class for "artist agents".

Wang Jinghua is a living textbook and examiner, because most of the agents active in the entertainment industry today are her disciples, and the true industry standard for "artist agents" was established from her.

Just like Han Sanping is honored as "Third Master" by the film industry, Wang Jinghua is also honored as "Sister Hua" by the celebrity circle.

Four. Qualities and abilities required by the industry

The ten basic qualities of an acting agent:

First, integrity. That means being honest and reliable, sincere in treating others, seeking truth from facts, being cautious in doing things, and knowing how to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. There are many agents who do things the wrong way, resulting in a bad reputation.

Second, dedication. This is a noble moral character. It means having a love, cherishing and respecting the brokerage profession, and not hesitate to pay and contribute to it, so as to gain a sense of honor and achievement. It is linked to honesty, trustworthiness, quality and efficiency.

Third, literacy. That is to say, agents should have certain comprehensive cultural qualities, including basic judgment ability for the industries they are exposed to. This is also a demand for professional qualities.

Fourth, experience. Agents should have rich life experience and social experience. As a defender of an actor's image, being well-informed is an essential quality.

Fifth, vision. Performing arts agents must have high artistic appreciation ability. The important task of choosing roles for artists and grasping the style of songs often falls on us. The agent must also be an excellent talent scout and have a keen eye for identifying "quasi-stars".

Sixth, opportunity. That is to say, they are good at seizing opportunities. For example, you have many cooperation opportunities. If you do not grasp the key points, you may lose many good opportunities. This requires your business acumen and the ability to predict the situation.

Seventh, public relations. That is promotion. As an agent, you should have the ability to take the initiative, promote your own artists, and have a pioneering spirit like an "insurance person."

Eighth, communication. That is to say, you must be good at communication. The artist may not have time to pay attention to communication with the media and partners because he or she is devoted to creation, so the agent must help him or her do a good job in this aspect and play the role of bridge and communication.

Ninth, care. An excellent agent should also have good affinity and be patient, loving and caring like a friend.

Tenth, mentality. Agents should have strong psychological qualities, be able to adjust in a timely manner and withstand the psychological changes brought about by emergencies and public opinion pressure, and should also have a peaceful and upward attitude.

Only in this way can we achieve lasting development in this industry!

In addition to these ten basic qualities, some people also compare acting agents to almighty supermen. An excellent agent must have extensive social relations, participate in various types of activities, accumulate contacts, and have the ability to help artists become famous overnight or "turn over".

We must not only maintain good relations with the media, but also become friends with various performance organizations, film and television drama directors, and producers in order to obtain more performance opportunities for our artists and enhance their popularity. .

To sum up, agents must have the above-mentioned basic qualities and accomplishments, and remember the four points of "integrity", "dedication", "communication" and "mentality".

Learn to use your own experience, use your unique vision, seize opportunities, use public relations skillfully, care at all times, and constantly improve your qualities. Only in this way can you transform into an excellent agent!

In addition, I think a gold medal agent should also have the following core competitiveness:?

1. Knowledge requirements: Although there are no strict restrictions on academic qualifications for entertainment agents, they are required to have Relevant knowledge of the entertainment industry, business, law, as well as knowledge of image packaging, financial management and foreign languages. ?

2. Skill requirements: As a profession that deals with people, entertainment agents must have flexible and superb social skills, the ability to coordinate various complex activities, and strong observation and adaptability. , as well as good judgment and foresight.

3. Experience requirements: Have many years of working experience as a broker and be good at handling "emergency incidents". ?

Professional qualities: Smart, capable, mature, sophisticated, trustworthy, loyal, strict-mouthed, and an extensive social network are the basic professional qualities of an entertainment agent. ?

Five , College students’ analysis and choice of this industry?

1. Risks and rewards:?

There is a famous saying in Hollywood: "The entertainment industry is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." As an entertainment agent, there are no fixed working hours, and naturally there is little leisure time.

“Being on call at any time” has become the unique characteristic of entertainment agents, so agents can be said to be more tiring than celebrities to a certain extent. It is difficult to determine the exact amount of entertainment agents' income because different stars have different price points.

But what is certain is that celebrities and agents are an economic entity. Although the remuneration received by agents is not comparable to that of celebrities, everyone understands the principle that a rising tide lifts all boats.

Usually agents charge a commission of 5-10% of the star's income, or even higher. If you are an agent appointed by a contract company, your income will be divided into several parts, including salary, bonus, and commission for contacting performances. ?

2. Career trends: ?

Development path: At present, entertainment agents come from three channels. One is family members. As the saying goes, "The good news does not flow to outsiders." Many stars choose When looking for a broker, you have to find “one of your own”.

For example, Wang Leehom’s agent is his aunt, Zhao Wei’s agent Chen Rong is her sister-in-law, and Na Ying’s agent is her sister Na Xin.

The second is people who have been in this industry for a long time. They have not succeeded due to various reasons but are familiar with the industry information. The third is agents with certain professional skills specially assigned by the star’s contract company. . ?

3. Transformation opportunities

Since entertainment agents’ extensive contacts and information sources provide favorable conditions for starting a business, most of China’s earliest agents have now opened cultural communication companies , being both a broker and a boss.

We can see many successful examples earlier. Even if the success of others cannot be copied, there are still many things worth learning from, and we can use this to continuously improve our own abilities, achieve success on the road to job hunting, and achieve success. own dreams.
