On September 24, Longtao Entertainment officially announced the three newly signed newcomers, namely Doggie Tao, Li Haoze, and Lu Xue. While welcoming them to join, they also put forward their expectations for them. Love, continue to write a new chapter."
It is reported that "Longtao Entertainment" is a Beijing-based film and television entertainment company mainly engaged in performing arts brokerage, film and television investment, production and distribution business. It was founded in July 2018. The founder is Huang Zhongdong, and Huang Zhongdong is The biological father of entertainer Huang Zitao. Unfortunately, Huang Zitao's father, Huang Zhongdong, passed away due to illness in September last year at the age of 52. Currently, Huang Zitao is specifically responsible for everything at Longtao Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd.
The three newcomers officially announced this time, Li Haoze and Lu Xue are "white background" amateurs, and Doggie is a contestant of "The New Generation of Rap" and an acquaintance of Longtao Entertainment.
"The New Generation of Rap" is a rap music program produced by Station B. The 11th issue has Hot Dog, Ma Siwei, Ding Zhen, and Rich Brian as rap base mentors. Li Yuchun is a special witness. Official, and Huang Zitao is the manager of the rap base with the highest position in the program. This program brings together rapper enthusiasts from all over China. Through various performance assessments, music creation and competitive performance, the "generational expressers" who represent the voice of the new generation are selected. To put it simply, it is actually a live music talent show. These participating rapper enthusiasts can enter the entertainment industry through such a stage.
Step.jad, who participated in the "The Voice" competition this year, was a contestant in last year's "New Generation of Rap". His representative works include "Everything gonna be alright" and "Playboy". His rap style is very In line with public taste. In addition, "New Generation of Rap" also has artists from Longtao Entertainment signing up to compete, such as newcomer Doggie Tao, who has just been officially announced as signing, and Shi Xitong, who signed a contract last year.
Shi Xitong was born in 2000. He signed a contract with Longtao Entertainment at the beginning of last year and officially became a contracted artist. In April of the same year, he signed up for the interview of "The New Generation of Rap" and successfully passed. In July, Huang Zitao was officially announced as the manager of the rap base of the show. Some people said that the boss and his artists appeared on the same show, and this series of operations were arranged in advance. However, Shi Xitong said: "I didn't know Huang Zitao at all at the time. I will come as a mentor." But no matter what, Shi Xitong's performance has been witnessed by everyone. The original work "Even If You Live in the Second Dimension" successfully "out of the circle" and won over 200 hits at Station B. With a playback volume of 10,000, he also released his first self-created EP "GIFTS", participated in music variety shows on local satellite TV, held a personal tour, and even appeared on the China Central Radio and Television Station's 2021 Online Spring Festival Gala.
Some people say that Shi Xitong’s achievements depend on his own outstanding musical talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, thanks to the generous resources provided by Longtao Entertainment.
Doggie's real name is Yao Haoyue. He was born in 1998 and graduated from Shenzhen University. Before participating in the show "The New Generation of Rap", he had released two or three songs, and later signed up to participate in the talent show "The New Generation of Rap". "Youth 3" competition, and then chose to withdraw due to personal reasons. Doggie does not have outstanding facial features, and his skin is relatively dark. He has a messy and curly hairstyle, and his whole body is full of hip-hop elements. His acting style and personality are very consistent with the image of a rapper.
Doggie is a newcomer who just signed a contract with Longtao Entertainment this year. Before that, he was an "unknown person" with no enthusiasm and no resources. I wonder if he will be better after joining Longtao Entertainment. Like Shi Xitong, what about having more and better filming resources?
In fact, Longtao Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd. has been recruiting new people. In July last year, it was officially announced that it would launch a trainee audition recruitment plan, recruiting newcomers between the ages of 17 and 25 who have acting potential, regardless of gender, nationality, or background, as long as they have good conduct and are passionate about acting.
This year, the Internet revealed that Longtao Entertainment has once again launched the "2021 Trainee Recruitment Plan", adjusting the age to 16-23 years old, and the starting price of remuneration is 800 yuan/day, and it also accepts model shooting notices. Child stars are notified that they will not be paid but will be paid, and they will also need to pay a 20 yuan membership fee.
It is understandable for entertainment companies to recruit potential newcomers from the society. However, under the background of "Operation Qingming", the radio and television has explicitly banned minors from participating in auditions and joining the "rice circle" However, in the recruitment plan of Longtao Entertainment, there are still three recruitment information targeting minors. The first is "Celebrity Image", which targets minors aged 1-17, regardless of gender, and is mainly trained on a short video platform; the second is "Art Candidates", which targets art candidates in the first, second and third year of high school; The third one is "future trainees", targeting primary and secondary school students.
The culture of children not learning well and scrambling to make their debut in the draft has long been a pain in the hearts of many parents. Now, under the call of radio and television, everyone has responded and strongly demanded that minors be prohibited from participating in the draft. In August this year, an "idol boy group" composed of seven children with an average age of about 8 years old, disbanded on the spot due to pressure from public opinion three days after officially announcing their debut.
The revised recruitment plan exposed on the Internet was launched in June this year, while the radio and television announcement on minors participating in the draft was issued in August this year. I don’t know that as the main person in charge of Longtao Entertainment Did Huang Zitao fulfill the requirements of the radio and television and remove minors from the recruitment targets?
