Chapter 393 Coral Young Man Zhang Ruoyun, the Four Returning Sons Choose Lu Han
Coral Entertainment, conference room
“At present, we have started an exclusive cooperation with Penguin Music, which promised us to promote Xue Zhiqian’s new album. At the same time, we plan to hold more than 10 concerts for him next year. In addition, the "I Am a Singer" column has also contacted us…”
“Sha Yi is now particularly favored by various variety shows. He has received three to four invitations, including a permanent guest, two comedy movies, and an invitation for a TV series…”
“Since we reached a cooperation agreement with Liu Feiren, a total of more than a dozen brands have found us. After evaluation, there are four brands that are most sincere and suitable for Liu Feiren. The first one is Cadillac. They have cooperated with Liu Feiren before and plan to renew the contract this time. The second one is Meizu Mobile Phone…”
“According to the plan of Blue Whale, we have been negotiating with several suitable candidates. The progress is relatively smooth and we are expected to win some agency rights…”
CEO Yang Tianzhen is reporting to Boss Wei, mainly focusing on several members of "Running Man".
After this variety show became popular, each member received extremely high benefits and their careers advanced by leaps and bounds.
Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang and Chen Chichi are not their own artists. Rouba belongs to Blue Whale, and the rest are under the management of Yang Tianzhen.
That's right, Liu Feiren has also joined Coral Entertainment now, but his contract terms are different from those of ordinary artists. It is more inclined to cooperation, and Coral only has partial agency rights for him.
But this is very good, because Liu Feiren is not ordinary valuable, his commercial value is far higher than that of several other people, including Rouba, who is now very popular.
The title of Asian Flying Man is not covered. He was originally semi-retired, his commercial value plummeted, and even many brands were not going to renew when they expired.
As a result, the dark clouds and the flowers turned bright. The popularity of "Running Man" made Liu Feiren's popularity increase instead of decrease, and even broke into the entertainment circle from the sports circle.
However, the operation of the entertainment circle is different from that of the sports circle, so Liu Feiren simply cooperated with Coral Entertainment.
This is mainly due to trust in Wei Yang. The reasons that Wei Yang used to persuade Liu Feiren have basically been realized for the most part, and the effect is better than originally expected. Liu Feiren certainly chose to continue to believe in Boss Wei.
At the same time, a large part of Liu Feiren's popularity now relies on "Run", so this can be regarded as a kind of interest binding.
In this way, both parties do not have to worry about Liu Feiren and "Run" being separated, and then one party provides popularity, the other party provides operation, cooperates to make money, and achieves a win-win situation.
At present, these people in "Run" are all cash cows of Coral Entertainment, and their momentum is so strong that even Tang Yan and Da Mimi have to avoid the limelight.
Yang Tianzhen also pays more and more attention to them. On the premise of making money, she arranges development routes for them according to their personal style and inclination.
Coral Entertainment does not want them to be tripped up by "Run", and all-round development is the hard truth.
They have their own suitable routes, which is a good thing. They can just feed back with the popularity of "Run", develop with half the effort, and then give back to "Run" with the achievements of these careers, killing two birds with one stone.
So the company did not stop them, but supported the careers of several people.
Xue Zhiqian likes music, so he will go in the direction of singers. Sha Yi can't get rid of comedians, so he is rooted in comedy.
Of course, they can't give up the variety show as their base camp. In addition to "Running Man", they will be active in many variety shows in the future.
In comparison, Liu Feiren is actually quite embarrassed. His performance in "Running Man" is not bad, but it is mainly his personality + personal aura, which is not particularly suitable for variety shows.
In addition, he has never given up on returning to the competition, so Coral Entertainment mainly focuses on the commercial aspects of him, and at the same time figures out a suitable development route for him.
He is not very good at acting or singing, so he still has to focus on variety shows, preferably the kind that can bring out his personal shining points.
In addition, because Blue Whale is preparing for "Dad is Back", Coral Entertainment will follow up to see if it can get some operating rights for some cute kids and fathers.
"Where Are We Going, Dad" has proved that these kids have the ability to make money, which is more terrifying than many first-line stars. Not only do they dominate the children's market, but they can also derive some other fields.
Wei Yang is ready to learn from "Where Are We Going, Dad", so he doesn't just want to eat the show, but these cute kids are also within his target.
Especially for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, many of them develop in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Not only can they sign cute babies, but they can also take over the agency rights of the celebrity fathers in the mainland, and the father and son are packaged together.
It’s just that Wei Yang doesn’t want to promote too many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, so "Dad is Back" has at most one or two Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and the main focus is on mainland artists.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yang."
After listening to Yang Tianzhen, Wei Yang was still very satisfied. After all, Coral Entertainment has been established for less than a year. It has achieved its current development, even if it is borrowed from the east wind of "Running Man", it is already very eye-catching.
With the recognition of Boss Wei, Yang Tianzhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his chubby face.
"It’s all because of your good command, otherwise how could we open up the situation so quickly."
Although her words are a bit flattering, they are also sincere.
In the early stage, Tang Yan and Da Mimi, and now the "Running Man" trio, were all signed or arranged by Wei Yang. From a strategic point of view, Wei Yang is the well-deserved first credit.
However, Boss Wei obviously did not need to compete for credit with his subordinates. He just praised and encouraged them and also brought them good news.
Wang Kai, who was trained by their company, will become the second male lead in Wei Yang's new drama "Nirvana in Fire".
This made everyone very happy. Although Coral Entertainment and Blue Whale are from the same family, everyone knows that they are raised by their stepmother.
Wei Yang's new work "Nirvana in Fire", they naturally heard about it and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they also knew that it was not so easy.
Not to mention the female lead, the three of Blue Whale are not easy to mess with, and there are also Fan and Liu from the outside world.
They think the chances of the second and third males are not high. Don't forget that Li Jiahang and Qiao Zhenyu are there, but they didn't expect that the pie in the sky would fall on Wang Kai's head.
Wei Yang could roughly guess the thoughts of several people and couldn't help shaking his head.
In his heart, Coral Entertainment is indeed not as good as Blue Whale, but it is far from being raised by a stepmother, and important resources are also open to them.
Besides, Li Jiahang has his own film contract and is not suitable for the role of Prince Jing. Qiao Zhenyu is suitable, but he is more popular, has more film contracts, and lowers the cost performance.
After all, "Nirvana in Fire" has Wei Yang and Liu Shishi in charge, and the other actors are not bad. There is no need to pull in another Qiao Zhenyu. It is better to support Wang Kai.
There are few male actors in the Blue Whale series that can be shown off, which has always been a headache. If there is more, it will be a banner.
Thinking of this, Wei Yang couldn't help but think of another thing: "What do you think of the one called Zhang Ruoyun?"
Yang Tianzhen and another vice president looked at each other. The latter was a little hesitant, but still honest.
"The disadvantage is that his acting skills are not good, but he is handsome, honest and obedient, can endure hardships, has a serious work attitude, and a stable personality."
Yang Tianzhen added: "He also has a high sense of identity with the company."
"This is very important."
Wei Yang nodded and smiled: "He is also half a prince. If you can't control him, he will easily run away."
It has been said before that Blue Whale has been lacking an idol male star since Wei Yang entered the film industry.
Qiao Zhenyu and Wang Kai are not bad, but they are not idol stars, so both Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment have been looking for a substitute for Wei Yang in the idol drama field.
Before this, they investigated many people, including Chen Yao under Si Yatou, Li Xfeng, a newcomer of Huanrui, Yang Yang who had a quarrel with Rong Xinda, Li Xian, a student of Beijing Film Academy, Deng X, Zhu Yilong, Ren Jialun recommended by a deputy director, etc.
There are still many good seedlings, but there is no candidate that Boss Wei is satisfied with.
This makes Yang Tianzhen quite headache, but Boss Wei is also headache. It is really not known until you check, and you will be shocked when you check.
It is no wonder that others look down on domestic entertainment. These people are also the backbone of the future 85-95. Many of them are lawbreakers, and those who do not break the law have also collapsed.
There are a few who are not dangerous, but Boss Wei is not very interested.
For example, Li Xian and Ren Jialun are not particularly good-looking, and the former is poor in ancient costumes, and the latter is very dependent on styling, so they are not within the scope of consideration.
Chen Yao is young and handsome, and his costumes are good, but he is already in a relationship.
He is the confidant and favorite of Si Yatou. With the relationship between Si Yatou and Wei Yang, the other party will never let him go.
Zhu Yilong is not bad, but what Blue Whale lacks the most is his type. He has more or less the same style as Wei, Qiao, and Wang. The company wants young idols, not all-purpose substitutes.
So, just when Boss Wei was looking for a way out and was ready to consider whether to take down Yang Yang or train an unknown newcomer, someone recommended him a candidate -
Zhang Ruoyun!
Wei Yang certainly knew this person, after all, "Celebrating Yu Nian" was fleecing him, and he was known as the "standard male protagonist of online novels", but this title now belongs to Wei Yang.
In fact, Wei Yang had thought about Zhang Ruoyun before, but like Chen Yao, he was already in a relationship.
Moreover, he is not just an ordinary person with a husband. His boss is his biological father Zhang Jian, who is also a well-known figure in the Beijing circle. He is involved in real estate and entertainment. The drama "Snow Leopard" was planned and filmed by him.
This guy has a lot of connections in the Beijing circle and has good resources. No matter how capable Boss Wei is, can he snatch his son from his biological father?
The answer is really possible!
Zhang Ruoyun's parents divorced when he was young, and he and his father did not have a good relationship. Of course, no matter what, they are father and son. He can star in "Snow Leopard" and "Black Fox" because of his father's efforts.
However, the father and son have differences in future development.
Zhang Jian is more conservative, and with limited resources, he mainly cultivates the main theme, but Zhang Ruoyun has his own ideas. He doesn't want to be trapped in the anti-Japanese war and spy war dramas, and wants to get rid of his father's control for emotional and independent reasons.
This can be felt from Zhang Ruoyun's desperate efforts to get into online dramas later. He really doesn't want to be too tied to his father.
Later, there was a drama of father and son going to court, but there were many different opinions about the twists and turns during the period. Some said that the father was pitting his son, and some said that the father and son were playing a double act.
But whether it was the father and son's discord or he wanted to get rid of the reputation of competing with his father, Zhang Ruoyun was determined to seek other development.
And in this circle, there are still a few companies that can compare to the thigh of Boss Wei.
Not to mention, Coral Entertainment also made it clear that they are here to cultivate new top idols. If the conditions are agreed, the resources will be fully allocated.
So the rest is simple. Zhang Ruoyun almost didn't give it a second thought and signed a contract with Coral Entertainment no matter what.
He was somewhat famous, and no matter what the boss of another company said, he would not have let him go, but Zhang Jian was his biological father after all. They had differences, but his son insisted on it, and the prospects were indeed promising, so he happily chose Let go.
As a result, Zhang Ruoyun successfully joined Coral Entertainment and became a key seed artist to be cultivated.
The first resource was the blockbuster project "Gu Jian Qi Tan", led by Damimi and Rouba. Later, due to an unexpected role, Qiao Zhenyu came to the rescue to play the second male lead. This lineup will make other niches envious. die.
In fact, in Wei Yang's view, Zhang Ruoyun's ancient costumes are not as good as modern ones, and he is actually the kind of person who likes looks.
However, in comparison, he is tall, has a good figure, has no obvious flaws, and is easy to style, so he can maximize the advantages of ancient costume.
He is quite optimistic about Zhang Ruoyun. The traffic era is coming, and having a top-notch niche student in his hands has many advantages and benefits.
"Arrange to meet me later."
"What about "Nirvana in Fire"?"
The vice president saw that Boss Wei was in a good mood and wanted to give Zhang Ruoyun a chance. Wei Yang thought about it and shook his head.
"There are no suitable roles. A small supporting role is too much of a waste. I may shoot a second part later, so I'll look for opportunities then."
"clear."
From Wei Yang's point of view, he may be willing to marry others, but he will not suppress any of his own artists. If the opportunity is right, he hopes that all his own artists will become famous, so that he can make more money.
Since Boss Wei mentioned the second part, it is very likely that Zhang Ruoyun will be given an important role in the second part, which is much more valuable than the supporting role in the first part.
The main business of the meeting was about to be discussed. Several senior executives left. Boss Wei went to Yang Tianzhen's office and took a look at the real confidential documents.
Coral Entertainment has only two shareholders, and the top decision-making is made by three people, Wei Yang, Yang Tianzhen, and their confidants who hold part of Wei Yang's shares and are responsible for supervision. Many of the company's core strategies are only known to three people.
"Boss, this is the information of the four EXO people. We have also contacted them in a vague way. Here is the general feedback."
Wei Yang flipped through the documents and then looked at Yang Tianzhen: "Who do you think we are most suitable to sign?"
Yang Tianzhen did not hesitate: "Lu Han."
"Why?"
Wei Yang shook the document: "Judging from the information I have contacted, Wu is the most active and the most popular. Why not choose him?"
"I have done a background check. This person is too impetuous, frivolous and ungrateful. He is not a good partner. Moreover, he conflicts with Zhang Ruoyun's line to a certain extent."
"On the contrary, Lu Han's popularity is not inferior to Wu's, his reputation is good, and his feedback to us is not bad. Moreover, he and Zhang Ruoyun are not in conflict with each other, but can complement each other, making him the most suitable candidate."
"As for the remaining two, one is somewhat similar to Wu and has not responded positively to us. He probably has a goal. The other has no plans to cooperate with domestic companies for the time being, so Lu Han is the most suitable candidate."
After hearing this, Wei Yang smiled with satisfaction and closed the document: "Then let's talk to him."
