Chapter 423: Prepare to Do a Big Job in "Ode to Joy"
Artist New Media Index Ranking No. 1: Tang Yan
…
…Fourth: Wei Yang
…Fifth: Liu Shishi
…
…Nineteenth: Zhao Liying
In the nanny car, Tang Yan was in a particularly good mood while flipping through her phone.
Although it was expected that the performance of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" would not be bad, it was unexpected that it would be so awesome.
As far as the female lead drama is concerned, this can be said to be her best and most popular work.
Considering the bonus to the artist alone, the character Zhao Mosheng changed from a lively, cheerful and sunny girl to a somewhat introverted and sensitive girl after experiencing family changes, which is very distressing.
But these changes and life difficulties did not defeat her. In the face of difficulties, she was strong and independent, and she did not lose her kindness. She is a very likable character.
It can be said that the level and character arc of this role are absolutely among the best in Tang Yan's career.
Haitang Duoduo in "Celebrating Yu Nian" is a little thin, and Gu Li in "Tiny Times" is even more incomparable. Those silly and sweet girls in "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family" are not even worthy of carrying shoes.
Tang Yan doesn't even need to interpret this role to the fullest, as long as she can ensure 50% charm, she will be able to attract countless fans.
Silently, she gave a thumbs up to [Tang Yan] and [Wei Yang], and then a thumbs down to [Liu Shishi] and [Zhao Liying]. Tang Yan then left the page and focused on watching her fans attack the black fans.
In fact, a few days ago, she was once attacked by the black fans and the fans of the rival team, and she didn't check Weibo for several days.
Now the situation has warmed up, and Tang Yan has also recovered. Now she keeps her phone in her hand and checks Weibo every once in a while.
"We're here."
The driver stopped the car, Tang Yan took a look around, and got off the car wearing sunglasses. After walking a few steps, she ran into a dozen girls who surrounded her in surprise.
"Sister, we are all your fans and like you very much. Can you sign an autograph for us?"
The assistant who was accompanying her instinctively came out to stop her: "Sorry, we just finished an event and are a little tired..."
"It's okay, there are only a few of us."
Tang Yan smiled, talked to the fans gently, and then signed autographs and took photos carefully. The driver and bodyguard watched the fans and the surroundings vigilantly to prevent accidents.
Celebrity artists are basically configured in this way. Assistants and bodyguards come out to play the good cop, block and cover the bad guys.
In this case, if the star doesn't want to pay attention, he can leave. Anyway, they are all "poor people" who dare not resist arranged by the agency, and they will not be angry even if there are many fans.
If you are more particular, give an apologetic look, or say a few nice words to coax them, everyone will be happy.
And if the star is willing to give benefits to the fans, then come out to be a good person, with the "unfeeling" staff as a foil, it will appear more friendly and friendly, and the fans' inner goodwill will double.
These are all small tricks of the agency team. Staff who have no sense of propriety, no vision, and can't cooperate will not become close to the star.
"Great, I've been waiting for you for two days, and finally I got it."
"Come on, Tangtang!"
"We will always support you."
"..."
Fans encouraged and said goodbye reluctantly. Tang Yan held two gifts in her own hands and waved in response: "Thank you, be careful when you go back."
After getting on the elevator, Tang Yan opened the gifts in a good mood. Inside was a Begonia doll. She liked it very much and took a photo with her mobile phone.
The assistant who was also holding a gift next to her joined in the fun and said in an embarrassed tone.
"Sister, these days there are fans of yours squatting in the company every day, and there are also special mailings from other places. The utility room at the front desk is almost full of gifts."
The large number of fans proves that Tang Yan is popular enough now!
Coral Entertainment has been established for almost a year, and it is no secret that the company's address is in Shanghai.
In the past, it was not that there were no fans squatting nearby, but they were mostly scattered and rarely gathered. In the past half month, they have been quite concentrated, and most of them are Tang Yan's fans. The reason is self-evident.
"You guys go over and deal with it later. If it's snacks or something, just look and share it with everyone. Don't let it go bad."
"Sort the other gifts and letters, and show them to me later."
Tang Yan made arrangements. A top star like her has a lot of fans. Even if only a small number of them send her gifts and things, the number is not small.
Food can't be stored, and she can't eat it herself, so basically they are distributed.
The letters are all kept, and the gifts are either kept or given away. Tang Yan originally planned to sell them, not for money, but mainly because they can't be stored.
Many gifts are not needed by herself and the people around her, and it's a pity to put them in the corner to gather dust, so it's better to sell them to people who need and like them.
But doing so is more or less a waste of the fans' kindness, so Tang Yan later learned two tricks from Wei Yang.
One is to find the person who gave the gift, and then send the gift back with a signed photo. The postage doesn't cost much, but the surprise is definitely great.
But it is too troublesome to do this, it consumes manpower and material resources, and it is not easy to get the address, so Wei Yang cooperated with the official fan group to give these gifts to fans as a benefit through lottery on Weibo, fan groups and other platforms.
In this way, it is not so troublesome, and it can also enhance the internal cohesion of fans, which is a relatively good way.
Tang Yan is not the only one who does this with Wei Yang, and it has become the standard way for artists in the Blue Whale series to deal with fan gifts.
As more people do this, it becomes a rule, and even fans of each group know it in their hearts. Many people have given gifts and drawn gifts, and they accept it well.
"This crystal dolphin is quite fun."
Arriving at the company floor, Tang Yan pulled out another gift she liked, played with it and entered the front desk with a smile.
Although Coral Entertainment is very close to Blue Whale, the companies are not located together.
This is also expected. There is competition between the two sides to some extent, and some artists have grudges against each other. There is no need to join forces.
Although the scale of Coral Entertainment Company is not large, the ostentation is not small, occupying almost half of the floor.
In addition to basic facilities such as conference rooms and office areas, it also has its own training room, rehearsal hall, dressing room, costume room, audio-visual room, photo studio, etc.
In this regard, Blue Whale Artist Management Department cannot compare with Coral Entertainment.
After all, the former is just a department of Blue Whale, while the latter aims to be the top entertainment agency in the country, so the workmanship is naturally extraordinary.
As the first sister of Coral Entertainment, Tang Yan's status in the company can be imagined, and she even has her own independent office and team-specific office area.
This is also the only one currently owned by Coral Entertainment, including Damimi, which only has an independent office, but its own studio team is not on Coral's side.
Tang Yan returned to her office and was about to continue opening gifts when the executive agent arrived.
Nominally, Tang Yan's agent is Yang Tianzhen, but Yang Tianzhen also needs to manage the company, so she only sets the general direction, and there is someone else who is specifically responsible for her agent.
"Tangtang, good news, two more brands have contacted us, and there is also a luxury brand."
Tang Yan's eyes lit up: "Which one?"
"BAIIy, also known as Bally."
Tang Yan had heard of this brand and she had a bag of this brand at home.
It can be considered an international brand. It probably hangs between the first and second tiers. It is a lower level than the Chanel and LV that Liu Shishi and Liu Tianxian are exposed to.
The field of luxury goods has clear levels, between first-tier and first-tier, top luxury and top luxury. Two different brands seem to be almost too many, but the actual gap is as big as the sky.
But Tang Yan doesn't expect to compete with Shuang Liu. Both of them have broken the circle, and their strength is not what she can compete with right now.
For her, it would be nice to have a luxury product to cooperate with. How many female stars don't have this kind of treatment yet.
For example, Xiao Zhao...
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Tang Yan's face. Among the top beauties in their group, Shuangliu had already established a relationship with Gao She, and some even had more than one family.
The popular Damimi is also favored by brands. Previously, only Tang Yan and Xiao Zhao did not have such resources.
Tang Yan was not favored because she was weak and was at the bottom of the list in terms of physical strength.
Xiao Zhao simply has a style issue, and has limited attraction to high-end luxury brands. He is determined to take advantage of his popularity with the audience and insist on cooperating with civilian brands.
In the past, Tang Yan herself did not have luxury endorsements, and her eldest brother did not talk about her second brother.
But now, she is expected to become the spokesperson of luxury goods, so Xiao Zhao's situation is more embarrassing.
Just for this reason, Tang Yan felt that even if she made less money, she would kill this cooperation, so that she could bury the person named Zhao later.
Tang Yan was discussing endorsement cooperation with her agent when her assistant suddenly knocked on the door and came in to report the news.
"Sister, the boss is here."
In Coral Entertainment, Yang Tianzhen is often called Mr. Yang or Teacher Yang within the company. A very small number of newcomers and senior staff have their own titles.
But no one has ever called him "Boss", and I don't know when it started to become a nickname for Wei Yang.
"Why is he here."
Tang Yan was surprised and happy. Wei Yang rarely came to Coral Entertainment, and most things were done by phone or online.
"Let's go and have a look."
Tang Yan had not seen Wei Yang since Zhao and Liu returned to Shanghai after the Spring Festival. Not long ago, "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" was a hit. Wei Yang called Wei Yang frequently, but there was no time to meet.
This sudden visit, thinking about the WeChat messages she sent to the other party before, inevitably made Tang Yan suspect that she was here specifically to look for her.
…
"Of course I'm here to find you!"
Facing Tang Yan's question, Wei Yang answered decisively, and then added as if nothing had happened.
"Running a little errand by the way."
Yang Tianzhen on the side couldn't help but rolled her eyes quietly. As the person in charge of Coral Entertainment, the intrigue between Wei Yang and Tang Yan couldn't trouble her, and even Damimi was suspicious.
In addition, she originally switched jobs from Fan Xiaopang, so she knew what the situation was like there.
Therefore, she is one of the few female employees under Wei Yang who has no filter for him, clearly sees his shameless scumbag face, and scorns him.
Of course, there is more or less the mentality of knowing that Wei Yang can't fall in love with her, so he breaks the pot and creates hatred out of love.
"I knew it."
It's no wonder that Tang Yan likes to play silly and sweet roles. She does have some love brains, but when she meets Wei Yang, she loses a bit of her past shrewdness and sits down next to Wei Yang happily.
"Go to my place for dinner later. My mom packed my place with a bunch of delicious food during the Chinese New Year. I left a lot for you."
"Okay."
Wei Yang was definitely not going to spoil the fun, so he coaxed him a few words and continued the topic with Yang Tianzhen.
What he said just now is not a lie. Wei Yang came here this time and it was really nothing important. He came here specifically for Tang Yan.
After all, the work had just become popular, and Wei Yang knew that he was eager to share it with him, so he came to support it. He also wanted to see Coral Entertainment's next arrangement for Tang Yan.
This was the beauty he had finally won, and her reputation and reputation were much better than those in the original time and space. Wei Yang didn't want to be ruined by Yang Tianzhen.
“…Tang Yan’s queen style is very popular now, and she also has a certain market in sweet dramas. She can be salty or sweet, but we prefer to lean towards professional elites. Of course, we will not easily let go of the field of ancient costumes.”
Tang Yan’s personal style is not as prominent as the others. This is her disadvantage, which means that the audience has a shallow memory of her.
But this is also one of her advantages, that is, she is a jack of all trades, and can basically play almost any role.
So Tang Yan is suitable for a wide range of roles, but the company hopes that she will play more queen styles.
Not only is it more in line with the style and has outstanding characteristics, but it also has the highest reputation and recognition from the outside world.
“In fact, I like to shoot some dramas like "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family".”
However, facing Yang Tianzhen’s arrangement, Tang Yan also put forward some personal requirements. She is really willing to play a silly and sweet role. Not only is it easy to play, but she also likes this style of work.
Women, more or less, have some similar aspirations.
Some people tend to be queens and empresses, while others are willing to be Mary Sue’s little wife, to be cared for and spoiled.
Wei Yang roughly understood Tang Yan's thoughts, for example, he preferred to play some villains, preferably those who were dark, sinister, and inhuman.
He knew that Tang Yan was not so ambitious, which was similar to Liu Shishi. If they could choose, they would rather take care of their husbands and children.
So Wei Yang did not insist that Tang Yan must shoot the route set by the company.
Within the scope allowed by the company, she could choose some scripts she liked to act in. If she really liked a certain script, she could also discuss it with him and arrange it as appropriate.
"Dear, you are so good to me."
Tang Yan gave Wei Yang a mouthful regardless of Yang Tianzhen being here. Yang Tianzhen was simply unable to bear it and was also a little resentful.
In this way, Tang Yan had someone behind her, how could she start her work...
Wei Yang ignored her. Tang Yan was originally brought in by him to open up the situation for Coral Entertainment, not to be a slave.
If Yang Tianzhen wanted to exploit her, he could find someone else. His woman was not a tool for making money. Boss Wei was not that poor.
But after all, he is a general of his own. After Wei Yang gave him a stick, he fed him two sweet dates.
"Blue Whale is preparing an urban drama about a group of urban women. If you can find the right one, you can arrange all five female protagonists."
"Are you talking about "Ode to Joy"? "
Yang Tianzhen has obviously done her homework, or has long been eyeing this project. Now that Wei Yang has given a definite answer, she is overjoyed and starts to plan for Wei Yang on the spot.
"Andy's role is a Wall Street elite. Tangtang can give it a try. If it doesn't work, the age can be adjusted to a younger one."
"Qiu Yingying is a heartless girl who goes for the cute and soft route. Our company's Mao Xiaotong can try it. And the good girl Guan Juer is just right for our company's newcomer Xu Lu."
"Qu Xiaoxiao's role is a little crazy. It's not easy to find. I remember there was a arrogant concubine Reyiza in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This girl has a bit of wildness."
"Fan Shengmei... I'll go talk to Mimi. This role has depth. Maybe she can impress him. At most, she can add more scenes and promise some benefits."
"..."
Yang Tianzhen is ambitious and ready to do a big job. Even Da Mimi is thinking about it.
Fan Shengmei is the second female lead. Even the second female lead is a little dangerous. Her personality is not likable. Wei Yang doesn't dare to say this. It can be seen how bold Yang Tianzhen is.
This is to tie "Ode to Joy" directly to Coral Entertainment. Not only will it become a signature drama, but also to promote several other newcomers in one go.
