Hello, let me begin by saying that I love your posts and I love your opinions, analysis, and point of view, I think you have a rare mind and I'm glad you're covering BL as I think it's a very complex and dynamic genre in today's industry.

I work as a middle management business consultant, related to management of PR and marketing although not for film industry, but i've had experience in handling products as a brand manager so i imagine the case with GMMTV and other TV productions are smiliar if we can replace 'product' with 'artists' in this case.

I have some questions relating to the branding of First and Khaotung as a CP by GMMTV, for the life of mine I just could not understand the business reasoning behind it for several reasons:

1. They are both versatile actor with good experiences on their belt and so far has chemistry every other actor they played with. it might be a bit of a waste for GMM to lock them both in a pair.

2. At the time it seems Gawin and First was more popular than FK, it should be easier and less risky to market and sail this pair, this pair also have the advantage of being in a more well known series (Not Me).

3. Both First and Khaotung relationship dynamic seems to not fit any existing mould that current BL pairs have (e.g. there's no clearly defined S/U between them), this seems risky and might not be well received by typical BL fans (esp. Thai Fans).

4. GMM has been trying to replicate OffGun formula a lot, all of GMM other CP seems to follow OG formula to an extent, which is not the case at all with FK.

5. All of the series that both acted as a pair in (Eclipse, Moonlight Chicken, and OnlyFans), are series that i think contain mature themes and not generally something that caters to the taste of Thai BL fans.

This question has been bugging me for awhile. The funny thing is: I am personally a SomSom, an FK stan :D I love them both very much and I absolutely love them together, but the decision to pair them together just doesn't make sense to me, I don't understand what GMM is trying to do here with both of them.

Sorry it's a bit long and thankyou so much if you decided to answer this :)

Hi! Thank you!

(As usual I did this and then Tumblr ate it. I am so tired of this bullshit, why can't they fist the undo bug in the new editor? OR stop forcing us toe USE the damn thing.)

1. They are both versatile actor with good experiences on their belt and so far has chemistry every other actor they played with. it might be a bit of a waste for GMM to lock them both in a pair.

I don't think they will in the long run, I think they are just co-branding at the moment, probably because of all the sponsorship offers. And because they've been recast a few times as a pair since The Eclipse.

They seem to be having a good time with it.

I could be wrong. I picked K a while back as one of the GMMTV stable who was too versatile for them (and valuable to them because of that), and they'd never co-brand him in a big way (after the failure of Tonhon Chonlatee). Then The Eclipse happened.

But to be frank? From the actor career perspective? If they can co-brand into consistent leading roles... F & K are probubly gonna - it's better money than character work and solo or side couple gigs.

Gawin doesn't co-brand. Never has. Seems like he never will. He clearly doesn't like shipping culture or anything about it. (Doesn't like reality TV shows or variety or anything like that, either.) Which I get. Oh boy do I. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in his rider that he won't cater to performative ships. I've always suspected this is because he's half American. (And East Coast to boot.) He's... tough.... reads as a little grumpy and reserved. Won't soften his IRL image to cater to the public. It's a very individualistic attitude.

It's certainly clear he's turned down sponsorship gigs (as a co-brand), and if he took one in the future it'd have to have a dump truck of money attached. I was legitimately shocked he took on Be My Favorite.

So far as Not Me is concerned? Now it's too late, that ship has sailed. So to speak.

Yep, they are more like Nanon & Ohm. I'm actually pleased that GMMTV is letting them do this and not trying to force seme/uke on the brand.

It's a model set up somewhat by TayNew. I mean GMMTV tried to force that one, but as Tay said, "Just look at him, he's huge."

They always managed a very brotherly casual fun ship.

4. GMM has been trying to replicate OffGun formula a lot, all of GMM other CP seems to follow OG formula to an extent, which is not the case at all with FK.

Yes, because it's the most profitable formula. Especially in country. I would put EarthMix in as their clearest successors.

Parent houses always lack imagination.

Find a money-making formula. Repeat it until the audience gets tired or supersaturated or both. It's how market capitalization works.

To change is to impact the bottom line and that is dangerous. Generally speaking, it takes small upstart companies to truly effect change in this regard.

OffGun is an interesting case because Off was so resistant to the brand at first. He's come around, but it took a while.

Yes, it would be interesting to chart their sponsorship gigs. My guess is it's more global brands or those with an eye to the global market that use them.

I'm thinking it's a lot more like KARD in Kpop (performing better outside of country than in-country). Or the way Ukiss was for Japan. (An expansion intended group tailored to that market).

A country with an active and intentional soft power usually has subdivisions of effectiveness in the ranks of that power's product (in Korea's case Kpop, in Thailand's case BL). Stars that do better overseas - individuals, couples, groups. Ones that do better in specific countries.

A clever product manufacturer looking to contract with one of these branding elements, tracts this (popularity figures and market reach) and picks their representatives accordingly, and in accordance with their expansion interests.

#ABL talks about couple branding and Thai BL shipping as a market share #this industry is grasping and advantageous and kinda gross #that's the entertainment industry for ya #thai bl #firstkhao #OffGun #TayNew

p’jojo being, as always, the first thai director to challenge fatphobia in the thai entertainment industry in any real way, is not surprising at all for me. love molly’s character so much, they’re important for so many communities and especially the non-binary & plus size communities. that’s it, I have to make a video on all the groundbreaking characters p’jojo has created bc this man is singlehandledly the best director who represents minorities in thai dramas <3

#axelle rants #jojo tichakorn #the warp effect #silvy pavida #like literally starting to write the script of that vid as we speak I fucking love this man #also I cannot emphasize how much seeing silvy a singer who I've been following indepentendly of gmmtv interact with new & jan from my first #- thai series ever is crazy to me icjduhsicu #the thai entertainment industry is forever tiny as hell

Do you ever feel that following actors on social media or knowing so much about how they interact "off screen" distracts from their acting performance? While watching Only Friends I can't help but be taken out of it because I keep thinking about interviews and tweets and what fans speculate about the actors. And that stinks because their acting is really good and I want to enjoy the performance for what it is. Or it's just a me problem?

ABSOLUTELY. It is not a you problem fam. It’s the now of things. If we are talking about the Thai entertainment industry specifically, they make good business with fan service and a very special brand of parasocial relationships with artists. I’m not a promo material girl, I don’t follow actors, I don’t watch streams, games or reality tv. I try to dodge it as much as I can. I’m not on twitter ! (I know!) I thirst a good photoshoot at best. I do follow crew (writer,filmmaker, cinematographer etc.) because I’m passionate about the work and even this can go on mute if need be.(for exemple hearing Jojo say he had to edit the show to protect the actors was kinda painful to hear)

I have the privilege of speaking a lil Mandarin (Chinese tik tok knows everything) and knowing some Thai fans to keep me away from trash and give a lil tea ON SHOWS.

But I totally understand you and I know that my way of things is hard to do. I’m old and Aaliyah’s death kinda vaccinated me against “parasociality” you feel me. But I feel you deep deep deep.

Video

youtube

I’m usually not a behind-the-scenes kind of person when it comes to watching non-drama-related material of my favorite performers, but I thought this English-subbed interview with Ohm and Perth (who are in Double Savage together) was particularly poignant from a mental health perspective. Both of them have been through very low periods in their careers (@bengiyo kindly filled me in on the history of PerthSaint and how that acrimoniously ended vis à vis their beefing management teams), and I found it particularly moving as to how strongly they recommend mental health services for actors growing up and working in the Thai entertainment industry.

(@miscellar, you might find this interesting, as we were talking about the off-stage issues surrounding Make It Right, how young the actors were, and how shipping culture is particularly heinous, especially from adult fans to teenage actors. I’m glad I watched this interview as a recent MIR convert.)

I think this video is worth watching as we’re seeing cyberbullying rise and sustain, as it has been towards Ohm over the past couple months, and how it’s increasing against the GMMTV dudes who made apologies this past weekend.

I do not understand the Thai policy on guns shown in TV shows. They’re blurred out when at a distance, but not always? And seemingly never when shown in closeups? What is going on.

so based on @mematryoshkame's comment on my other post (and bc i am wildly procrastinating lol) i went searching for the ultimate thai bl mom.. and even though no one really asked, it turns out we have a couple contenders! tao sarocha watittapan was tharn's mother in tharntype, shin's mother in 3 will be free, and tinn's mother in my school president. but then there is also june poramaporn jangkamol: pharm's mother in until we meet again, kuea's mother in cutie pie, and cake's mother in my only 12%. so there you have it folks. enjoy some completely free and unsolicited information :)

#posts for a niche audience #meaning me and one (1) beloved mutual #idk i just like knowing random stuff like this #kinda funny how small the thai entertainment industry is sometimes #anyway that's all i've got 👍#thai bl #bl series

Who is going to tell Nott that posting intimate pictures with your costar on a private Instagram story is a good way to get caught

#why would you ever trust the internet?#Idc if it's only 12 followers #if even one person sees #it's leaked #these people have too much trust #and they work in the entertainment industry so surely they're smarter than this??#war of y #bl thai #billyseng

Hi!

"2 Moons The Ambassador" is airing currently, and there are very few takers of the show. Also, it isn't available outside of Thailand, because it seems like "Motive Village" was scared of the backlash from the international audience, so went ahead with the project anyways, but decided to release it only for domestic audience. It looks like since they have the rights for the franchise, they wanted to mint money out if it, as much as possible, and as long as they possible can, given that this one is the last instalment of the story. Screenplay, Casting, Acting, and Direction seems to taken a backseat completely. I have huge respect for the boys involved in the project, it's just that I'm intrigued with the level of competition in the BL business that's forcing young talents to work with unprofessional production companies.

When I asked about audiences opinion on Reddit, someone pointed out that there is a possibility that sometimes certain films/series are rolled out as it could be a case of money laundering. Not sure how to react to it, many just concurred with that thought especially when if the production company happens to be shady. And this is a case in point with any show business around the world, just that its often talked in hushed whispers, unless the paparazzi uncovers the truth on the tabloids.

In one of our previous discussions, you did mention not being a fan of "2 Moons" and not having any expectations from "2 Moons The Ambassador" either. But my question isn't about the "2 Moons" franchise per se, but more so about understanding the eco-system of BL business.

So,...my questions to you are:

How far are BL filmmakers wanting to go mainstream, aware of the fact that the they have an increasingly “Attention Deficit” audience watching their content? (Which means,…what worked earlier may not work today, and that the audience may either get bored, or rebel over a particular trope being repeated without logic.)

How far is the BL industry good at marketing their series, especially if it comes from a fairly new production company? Are the producers doing enough, or are they content with the domestic market, keeping the international audience as an option anyway?

For a BL producer, which market is more important, the domestic market (like airing the series on a local channel), or the international market (like selling the rights to an OTT platform to be streamed), or BOTH?

Are there BL Filmmakers who don’t wish to grab the attention of the International audience, and are quite happy selling their content to be streamed only and only on domestic platforms? Is there a specific strategy to this to avoid any kind of criticism, given that global audience are known to be pretty opinionated and vocal?

Barring a few sensible BL dramas, has visuals and soft-core scenes become the primary motive to make a BL series, and that story and other technical aspects like screenplay, cinematography, dialogue, and direction completely lost its relevance in the BL industry in the mad race to claim the numero uno spot on social media?

Again, sorry for taking so long to answer these. Crazy busy these days. This is gonna be one of those ones where I’m not sure I can answer your questions, since I've never actually worked in the film industry in Thailand at all. Or had anything to do with it quite frankly. It's certainly not an interest tree large enough to have hired anybody like me ever.

1. How far are BL filmmakers wanting to go mainstream, aware of the fact that the they have an increasingly “Attention Deficit” audience watching their content? (Which means,…what worked earlier may not work today, and that the audience may either get bored, or rebel over a particular trope being repeated without logic.)

I think this is more a history of market trends. We see this all the time with everything. It's not quite the same thing but take for example the Roomba. When a product like this first enters the market there's usually only one or two versions to choose from, they're usually very expensive, and difficult to get a hold of. Then as distribution gets better, the technology becomes less proprietary, and more people have access and interested in making/owning such things, more and more versions hit the market, the price gets driven down to as low as it can possibly go. And you end up with a lot of trashy products and poor imitations. Eventually, everybody who wants one, and can afford one will own one. The manufacturing (production) companies that can't become profitable will go bankrupt, or start making something else.

The trend dies down in the market shrinks.

Or, more commonly in the entertainment (and Fashion) industry a new fad will come along.

2. How far is the BL industry good at marketing their series, especially if it comes from a fairly new production company? Are the producers doing enough, or are they content with the domestic market, keeping the international audience as an option anyway?

I actually expect that the trend for BL will die back down before Thailand (in particular) actually gets good at marketing to an international audience.

3. For a BL producer, which market is more important, the domestic market (like airing the series on a local channel), or the international market (like selling the rights to an OTT platform to be streamed), or BOTH?

From what I can tell, domestic seems to be the priority for most of the smaller pulp Thai production houses. Or lack of marketing entirely. (Let's be clear if the production house is on YouTube they're actually concerned with sales - sales and marketing are two different things.) I just don't think any of the houses even have advertising departments attached to them.

It's pretty clear that whoever was behind KinnPorsche, and GMMTV, are pretty focused on the international market. Where as these days Wabi Sabi (in bed with iQIYI) and some of the middle range houses, are interested in targeting streaming services. Which means they're tailoring their contact to a very specific corner of the international market, which is based on the viewer numbers (& country of origin) for those services.

I don't know how intentional they're being about this, but they have to have this end goal of distribution in mind.

And I would bet my bottom dollar that Korean BL production houses have nothing but the international market and streaming platforms in mind.

4. Are there BL Filmmakers who don’t wish to grab the attention of the International audience, and are quite happy selling their content to be streamed only and only on domestic platforms? Is there a specific strategy to this to avoid any kind of criticism, given that global audience are known to be pretty opinionated and vocal?

Maybe? Possibly some of the more Indy and now defunct houses like the one behind ITSAY? I don't think they particularly care what the audiences say or how those audiences behave online, so long as they are watching and talking about the show. Whether that's negative or positive. The numbers don't lie.

Let’s take LITA as a case in point. A highly derisive piece of BL cinema. But I would swear on whatever you want me to swear on that Mame is going to get the funding for another one. Because the point is: we talked about it, and blogged about it and shared gifs. Whether engagement is negative or positive is irrelevant to the fact that, from sheer numbers of eyeballs watching, the show can be considered successful by Thai BL standards.

It would be a pretty poor business plan from anybody in a film industry as small as Thailand’s not to take the international audience into consideration, or at least want to produce content that could be repackaged and exported.

5. Barring a few sensible BL dramas, has visuals and soft-core scenes become the primary motive to make a BL series, and that story and other technical aspects like screenplay, cinematography, dialogue, and direction completely lost its relevance in the BL industry in the mad race to claim the numero uno spot on social media?

I actually ran the stats on this. And percentage wise to the amount of BL that is currently being produced, we have the same amount of high heat (11%) as we did last year and that’s less than in previous years.

In other words, we're seeing more round numbers of high heat content, because there is more BL being made in general.

I would also argue that it's not necessarily talked about more than some of the other BL either. Remember the waves that Bad Buddy caused at the beginning of this year? Or The Eclipse? Those are very low heat BL.

Given the way these things work: we are going to continue to see the same percentage of very high-quality content with good production values (which has been, and always will be, small - and I suspect will be mostly dominated by Korea & Japan), the same percentage of pulps, and the same percentage of low heat.

We are just getting more of everything right now. We're at the top of the trend. I'm not sure if it has peaked, exponential growth is incredibly hard to predict (especially in the entertainment industry). We will know at the end of next year - if the numbers go back down. (I think they might, but I have been very wrong before.)

They may travel a lot or get caught up in that often, maybe they have to study really hard?

Yoon Phusanu my beloved never disappoints and has indeed hired a gaggle of lawyers to go up against Y.Entertainment.

youtube

You can watch his whole press conference (with English subs) here.

It includes highlights such as:

Yoon would like to be fairly compensated because he has to provide for his family. His family are seven cats. He's brought pictures.

He's now officially gone freelance and Y.Ent are no longer allowed to use his name.

Yoon hasn't been paid in a very long time, even though he's tried to negotiate and reach an agreement. He's tired of having to run after his money.

He's "only" owed about 100.000 baht (~2.555€ / 2772$ / £2,192) but Yoon's lawyer states that this is a systematic problem and lots of actors in Series Y (Thai BL) aren't fairly compensated. Several actors have reached out to him personally. He also says that he doesn't put blame on the companies because Series Y is a very competitive field. Still, young actors should be careful about who they work with and stand up for themselves if they aren't treated fairly.

They're showing pictures of Yoon's cats again. Yoon has to provide for them, after all:

Yoon doesn't have acting work lined up right now but he's actively looking for new projects and is in talks to join a new agency.

I'm not sure if this only affects Yoon or the other actors who are owed money by Y.Ent as well but apparently the cut-off date for payment was 11 March. He was offered money after that date but didn't take it because he already knew that he wanted to terminate the contract. Apparently, he had been with Y.Ent for over 4 years and the contract was supposed to be a six year contract (I'm not too sure about this one since the subs are terrible and so is my Thai lmao). Because he's been with them for so long, the whole thing pretty much blindsided him.

Yoon's mother is supportive of him acting in Y Series.

Many other Thai BL actors have talked to Yoon about being treated unfairly and he wants to spread awareness about that.

Apparently, Y.Ent never stated a reason for not paying him. They only told him that he'd be paid at a later date.

Yoon's lawyer says that he has every right to sue but for now he only wants to negotiate. He again urges young actors to thoroughly check who they're working with.

Yoon is asked if this disagreement will cause him problems with other companies down the line but he says that he doesn't believe it will negatively affect him as he's trying to solve the issue peacefully.

Yoon's lawyer again says that actors should read their contracts very carefully. Some contracts don't give the actors any rights but only duties. They might then have to hire a laywer to be able to break contract.

Yoon then says that sometimes he wasn't sent the script before filming and when arrived on set all he'd be given was an old brief that he'd already read. He was then asked (by other crew etc) if he'd practiced his lines which of course he couldn't. This embarrassed him.

The lawyer also adds that there is often a discrepancy between the number of episodes in a series and queues for a shoot. I'm guessing that he means that the actors won't realise that they actually have to work more hours for less money (since compensation seems to be based on episodes rather than hours worked?). This is very difficult to renegotiate and almost no actor in their 20s can afford to settle this in court.

This isn't the first time Yoon has spoken up against the mistreatment of himself and other Thai BL actors in the industry and I'm so glad he has the means to stand up for himself when so many other actors obviously can't.

Fans are so quick to blame bad shows and weird behind-the-scenes stuff on the actors themselves when in reality it's so often due to mismanagement and mistreatment. Imagine not even having a script on shooting day (yes, I'm aware this is common practice in soap entertainment but these are rookie actors without the experience and support that seasoned soap actors have - also in this case it seems to have surprised even the crew on set). No wonder things were akward in Unforgotten Night. Do you really think actors who don't have a script get to practice and negotiate their intimate scenes together?

And judging by what Tor Atagorn has spoken up about recently (and many other actors have alluded to in the past) this is only the very tip of the iceberg, with young and inexperienced actors deliberately trapped in contracts that they have no way of getting out of on their own.

Yoon's lawyer urged young actors to be more aware of who they're working for in order to better protect themselves. In a similar vein, BL watchers should ideally be more aware of whose shows they're watching and what companies have a shady track record.

If nothing else, do it for the cats! These actors have children they need to provide for, after all!

#yoon phusanu #thai bl #unforgotten night #for him the series #jane watches stuff #i need a tag for bl industry things #bl industry #(perhaps?)#pls assume i've been replaced if i ever NOT talk about mistreatment in the bl industry #this is so very important to me #i've seen it happen in the games industry #and we should fight and show support whenever we can #because passionate and young creatives are so easy to exploit #and most people seem to think it's okay because they like the game or series or movie they get out of it

According to the latest interview with Saint Suppapong, The Sign cost almost 100 million baht to make! Everyone was telling him not to do it, that he could not handle it, that it couldn't be done, that CGI was way too expensive. And he still did it because he wanted to challenge himself and push the boundaries of the Thai entertainment industry. And he paid for it out of his own pocket, no outside sponsors. And he had the guts to hire a complete newbie for one of the leads. And he also worked as an advisor for the drama in religious matters because he himself is very religious so he was very careful to get it right. Holy smokes! Saint Suppapong, I salute you!

(I wonder if religion is one of the things over which he and Babe bonded because they seem like two peas in a pod in this matter.)

I Can See You

summary: You meet Rachel's costar at the academy gala, what will happen next? (tom blyth x actress!reader)

inspired by I Can See You (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift

💋⚘️❤️‍🔥💥🍬💄

As an actress, I spend a 70% of my time meeting and interacting with actors, actresses, singers, directors, producers, and people who work in the same industry as i do. A 90% of those people are just passers, travelers that only visited my life. Only very few manage to stay, important enough to make me care for and about them: true friends. Like Rachel Zegler, for example. I met her at the 2022 Golden Globes afterparty, and we kicked off a nice friendship. And a rather weird one, might i add. Rach and I enjoy playing rather exquisite games: i make her try the most horrendous food i find, and she tries to find the perfect man for me.

-Rach, I already told you- i tell her, laughing without even trying - I've lost hope! You gotta accept that i don't have a love life!-

-You're lying to yourself! - she smiles with me- You think I haven't seen the way you look at every couple we meet?-

Maybe she was right. I haven't had a boyfriend in years, maybe I am a little touch-starved. But that was until I met him.

You brush past me in the hallway

And you don't think I, I, I can see ya, do ya?

I've been watchin' you for ages

And I spend my time tryin' not to feel it

As an actress, i spend a lot of time bring invited to galas and events. Tonights entertainment was the Academy's annual gala. I picked out a gorgeous black sparkly dress that caught everyones attention, as I imagined. Getting out lf the car, I slowly made my way to the red carpet, starting to pose for the flashing cameras. Shouts and screams came from everywhere i went. Not only for me, of course; in fact, thay were yelling Rachel's name too when i arrived. She came up to me and gave me a big hug, as we started to take pictures together. I also noticed that a certain co-star of hers, was looking our way. Don't you think I can't see you?

But what would you do if I went to touch you now?

What would you do if they never found us out?

What would you do if we never made a sound?

As an famous actress, I can't just do whatever I want and say whatever i please. The cameras are everywhere. But God, did I want to go talk to you.

'Cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me

And I could see you up against the wall with me

And what would you do, baby, if you only knew?

That I can see you

As an actress, people expect me to be there when they need me, available for everyone and waiting for directions. But, only this time, I was waiting for something else to happen. When I walked down the hidden hallway on my way to the women's bathroom, you were there. I didn't want to do anything reckless! But here we are.

And we kept everything professional

But something's changed, it's somethin' I, I like

They keep watchful eyes on us

So it's best that we move fast and keep quiet

You won't believe half the things I see inside my head

Wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet

Tom and I started dating shortly after the gala. Being with him was everything I needed: he's a gentleman, a caring person, a funny one, and of course, a very sexy one. The weeks passed and we were both as happy as ever. After the night we met, the cameras that caught our longing stares published the photos and the public strted going crazy, speculating and giving their opinion about our encounter. Oh, they have no idea.

That I could see you throw your jacket on the floor

I could see you make me want you even more

What would you do, baby, if you only knew?

That I can see you

They had no idea that how it was being In a relationship with tom. The envious fangirls wished they were me. They don't I know that I can see him for what he truly is. They don't know that I can see him discarding his clothes on the floor. Yes, even that leather jacket of his that I love so much

I could see you in your suit and your necktie

Passed me a note saying, "Meet me tonight"

Then we kiss, and you know I won't ever tell, yeah

And I could see you being my addiction

You can see me as a secret mission

Hide away and I will start behaving myself

I remember how I pulled you closer by your tie, and unbuttoned your shirt. How you admitted you've been watching me for ages. How we agreed to keep this a sceret, However, I knew he'd be like a drug. And I get drunk on it whenever he's around

I can see you.

I can see you, Tom.
