Chapter 460 Lu Han Returns Home, Yang Tianzhen's Spring

Magic City, Airport

Yang Tianzhen led the team personally, watching the passengers coming and going, until he saw several figures in the VIP channel, his fat face showed a bright smile, and he quickly greeted them.

"Xiaolu, welcome back to China."

"Mr. Yang, thank you for your help."

The speaker was a young man with dyed white hair, handsome eyebrows and wearing a mask, who was Lu Han who had just returned to China.

As a member of the popular Korean boy group EXO, and the only four Chinese members, Lu Han not only appeared in Korea, but also had a good influence in China, with a large number of fans, and could be said to be a top seedling.

Domestic related entertainment companies have long been eyeing these Chinese members of EXO and have had contact with each other.

Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment are naturally no exception. They have long determined Lu Han as the first candidate, and Yang Tianzhen has personally flown to Korea for negotiations several times.

After a series of contacts and arrangements, the results were remarkable, and Lu Han finally joined Coral Entertainment.

In May, the first Chinese member of EXO, Moufan, announced the termination of his contract with the company and took the lead in returning to China for development.

As soon as he returned to China, he became the male lead of the new movie directed by Xu Cainv. Later, I heard that he was also favored by Director Guan and is expected to participate in "Old Cannon" starring Feng Kuazi.

From these two movies, we can actually see that the capital behind Moufan is the Beijing circle.

At this stage, this guy has not yet gained momentum, and the connections and resources he has contacted are not enough. He has just entered the Beijing circle. When he becomes a top star, he will receive continuous support.

If Wei Yang remembers correctly, the capital behind Moufan in the later period includes Jingcheng Wentou and Huayi Group, and Brother Cheng Long is also a key figure.

In addition, Moufan is closely tied to iQiyi, and later he began to contact Penguin. In addition to the endorsements of major high-end luxury and business brands, the personal capital volume alone is more than 1 billion.

However, no matter what the future of Moufan is, his investment in the Beijing circle has more or less helped Coral Entertainment.

Lu Han is a real Beijinger, and he actually prefers to develop in Beijing.

But resources are limited. Moufan has already taken the lead. The competition within the Beijing circle is fierce. Lu Han has a shallow foundation in China, so he has to choose carefully.

At this time, Coral Entertainment, on behalf of Blue Whale and the increasingly powerful Shanghai circle, extended an olive branch to Lu Han, which made Lu Han begin to lean towards it.

Finally, in October, Lu Han was temporarily freed and officially returned to China for development on the grounds that his original company could not provide future development plans and his body had symptoms under high-intensity work and pressure.

Of course, this is only a stopgap measure, and the contract has to be slowly resolved. However, Lu Han has returned to China, and other things are not a problem. It is nothing more than negotiating to spend more money to compensate.

Compared with those costs, Lu Han is the most valuable talent, and can even be described as a treasure pot.

Yang Tianzhen is very satisfied with this new general!

Da Mimi has left, Tang Yan has been hit hard by Zhao Liying, and although Zhang Ruoyun is popular, her foundation is still shallow and she can't stand alone.

If Coral Entertainment wants to maintain its position or even go to the next level, it needs to create a new star trump card, and the shorter the time, the better.

There is no doubt that this young man with excellent conditions in all aspects meets her needs very well.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go first and take you to see where I live."

Yang Tianzhen did not say too much nonsense and took people away directly.

Lu Han had just returned to China and was in a city where he was unfamiliar with the city of Shanghai. Naturally, the company had to help him prepare in many aspects.

After a while, Yang Tianzhen led Lu Han to a house. The area was not large, less than 300 square meters, with four bedrooms and two living rooms, warm decoration, and the key was convenience.

This is a high-end hotel-style residence with complete supporting services. Yang Tianzhen even found a special team of housekeepers for it. It is most suitable for people like Lu Han who have just come to Shanghai and are busy with work. There is no need to worry about trivial matters. If you need any service, just tell the housekeeper.

"You can go shopping by yourself. If you are not satisfied, we can change it. There is not much else in Shanghai, but the house is definitely enough."

"No, it's already very good, better than I thought."

Lu Han shook his head. He was speaking the truth. Although he is now famous, his income is not particularly high.

One is that EXO has only been popular for two years, and they debuted in 2012. Naturally, the benefits are limited in a short time.

Another is that they are trainees, and the Korean company's share is quite demanding. The remaining profits have to be shared by more than a dozen people. Even if they make more money, it is conceivable that they will have such a thin share.

Moufan and Luhan were both in the rising period of development in Korea. They resolutely returned to China to develop, and even broke up with their old companies. In fact, they took considerable risks.

On the one hand, the temptations and prospects given by domestic companies are many, and on the other hand, there are indeed conflicts with Korean companies, and a lot of dissatisfaction has accumulated.

In Korea, Luhan's place of residence is not bad. After all, he is a member of a popular boy group, so he doesn't have to squeeze into an apartment with several people.

But there is no such luxury as this person. From this point of view, Luhan feels that his choice to return to China is a good idea.

After settling down, Luhan did not stay in his residence for a long time, but went to the company. Yang Tianzhen did not stop him and took him to visit Coral Entertainment.

Although Coral Entertainment is a pure artist agency, its scale is not small.

The artist team alone is not a small number, and there are also many departments such as publicity, public relations, advertising, performing arts, training, logistics, etc., with a total of no less than 300 staff members, and the office area occupies an entire floor.

This also surprised Lu Han a little. You know, EXO's parent company SM company only has a few hundred employees.

Although Coral Entertainment is also ranked in China, in his impression, it is just a company under Blue Whale. He didn't expect it to be so generous.

Yang Tianzhen saw Lu Han's shock and was secretly proud of herself.

New generals must be won over and valued, but they must also be punished.

This is what she learned from Boss Wei. In management, it is often the best way to use kindness and force, especially when it was not smooth sailing to regain Lu Han.

Coral Entertainment was the first batch to contact EXO members. Moufan returned to China in May, but Lu Han delayed until October. During this period, there were many differences, which delayed the negotiations.

Not to mention that Lu Han himself wanted to develop in Beijing, there was another point that the two sides were deadlocked for a while.

That is, Lu Han relied on his popularity and wanted to strive for more independence and autonomy, and even form a cooperative relationship like Da Mimi before.

This is obviously unacceptable to Coral Entertainment. Lu Han is now quite popular in China, but he is far less popular than Da Mimi at that time.

At least the latter can support a mainstream project, while Lu Han has not yet proved himself in China.

Not to mention that Da Mimi's popularity and fame are all-round, while Lu Han's main audience is fans and teenagers. Even if the latter has higher commercial value, it is not enough for Coral Entertainment to give in to this extent.

Moreover, Coral Entertainment signed Lu Han just to make money. How could it spend a lot of effort to cultivate him and let him run away.

In addition to making money, Da Mimi can also sleep with Boss Wei, and even have a threesome. Can he accompany him?

Even if he can accompany him, Boss Wei will not do it!

So Coral Entertainment will never agree to this. Even if it can agree to let Lu Han set up a studio, all kinds of agency contracts must be represented by Coral Entertainment, and this is not negotiable.

To put it bluntly, Boss Wei wants to be a tool for him to make money, not a stepping stone for others to become famous.

You can be famous and make money, but the premise is that Boss Wei must make more money.

Although Lu Han was somewhat confident, he was still far behind the giant Blue Whale, so the negotiation ended with Lu Han's compromise.

But Yang Tianzhen was still a little worried, so she deliberately showed her muscles to shock Lu Han and make him obey her orders.

Yang Tianzhen was not easy to be the CEO of Coral before, at least she could not command the most famous artist Tang Mi.

Fortunately, now that Da Mi Mi is gone, Tang Yan is relatively easy to talk to, and Yang Tianzhen has also made certain achievements. Her power in Coral is growing day by day, so she can't stand anyone challenging her, so she hopes to suppress Lu Han.

Coral Entertainment has one Tang Yan, which is enough, and all other artists must be instructed by her.

Therefore, this time Yang Tianzhen deliberately wanted to show the strength of Blue Whale, which can not only give a warning, but also make Lu Han more confident and boost morale.

"At present, our company has more than 20 artists, including some first-tier top-tier and second-tier popular artists, as well as many new generation talents. The boss has personally said that we will focus on supporting you post-90s in the future..."

There are talents in every generation, and the new generation is better than the old!

This sentence is particularly important in the entertainment industry. A considerable part of the rise of Blue Whale and Coral Entertainment is that they have seized the big bonus of post-80s artists, especially the 85 flowers, so they can dominate the field of artist management.

Having tasted the sweetness, Wei Yang will naturally not give up the next wave of benefits.

Blue Whale will focus more on film and television production in the future. In addition, it already has the trump cards of the two 90s flowers, the two beauties of Xinjiang Province, so the task of developing and cultivating post-90s artists is given to Yang Tianzhen, which is also the key strategy of Coral in the future.

At present, Yang Tianzhen has signed several newcomers, both men and women, but the one he values ​​most is Lu Han.

His popularity base can maximize the digestion of Coral Entertainment's resources and quickly become popular in a short period of time.

Yang Tianzhen really hopes to develop. Not only will the company have another treasure pot, but it will also be a major achievement in supporting the new generation of talents. It is a good explanation to Boss Wei and can also let the outside world see the prospects of Coral Entertainment.

Wei Yang opposed Blue Whale's listing, but he never said that Coral Entertainment could not be listed.

If the development goes smoothly and is in line with the interests, Boss Wei does not mind operating Coral Entertainment to go public and make money.

Anyway, Blue Whale owns shares of Coral Entertainment, which will not affect the cooperation between the two parties. Moreover, when it goes public, it can also sell some shares and tie up the leading artists.

Huayi and many other companies have proved that celebrity shareholders are very beneficial to the stock market, especially at the peak of the traffic era.

Coral is listed! ?

This is a big temptation for Yang Tianzhen, who owns shares of Coral Entertainment, so she is particularly active in developing the company.

But it's too far to talk about these now. Yang Tianzhen just mentioned it briefly, and more of it is to introduce the company.

"There are no outsiders here. I have also made it clear that you understand the relationship between our company and Blue Whale. With this big tree behind us, we don't have to worry about film and television resources."

"And not only Blue Whale, but also many film and television companies such as Tangren, Jade Shrimp, and Shangshi have strategic partnerships with us. To put it bluntly, we are qualified to share a share of these companies' high-quality projects."

"In addition, I guess you also know that the boss has now acquired a video website, and it is currently developing very well."

"Once the boss completes the resource platformization, then with PPTV as the center, the resources and channels we can access will be unimaginable. At that time, there will be so many resources that we may not have enough resources in our company."

"..."

Yang Tianzhen smiled happily. Joining Boss Wei was definitely her wisest decision. Lu Han's eyes also lit up.

Although he looks young, he is actually smart in business. In his previous life, he participated in a lot of business investments and was worth a lot of money.

He knows very well what it means to own a big platform. It is a real giant.

It's a very simple point. As mentioned earlier, except for a few companies with capital like Blue Whale, the project does not worry about sellers, so they can shoot the drama first and then sell the goods.

Most other crews actually start looking for sellers at the beginning of preparation, and even start shooting the drama after the seller nods.

Otherwise, after the drama is finished, it cannot be sold, and all the money is in hand. Small companies and independent producers may go bankrupt.

Therefore, having a strong platform can not only communicate directly with countless crews, but also directly interfere with the specifics.

For example, there is a costume drama. The producer took the script and project to PPTV. PPTV thought it was good and could pre-order it, and even continue to provide some financial and resource support, but one of the conditions was that the protagonist used people from Coral Entertainment.

Do you think the film company agrees?

If you are the protagonist of Huayuwen, of course you can directly fight back, or even turn around and find another platform, become famous and slap your face, but the reality is that the film company will basically choose to compromise.

There is competition and collusion between platforms. If they really focus on your project, they can find a way to reach a tacit understanding with several other platforms to make you agree obediently.

It is conceivable that if most of the crews that come to PPTV for cooperation arrange a few roles in this way, plus its own channels, Coral Entertainment’s artists are really not enough.

This is just the basic operation. If the platform is really strong enough, there will be more routines to play.

In the peak period of the later generations, several major video websites jointly monopolized the variety show and TV drama market, and most of the entertainment industry had to look at their faces.

Coral Entertainment is backed by PPTV, which can be said to be a direct subordinate. Compared with other artists, it has too much advantage.

Just based on this, Lu Han was excited, not to mention that Yang Tianzhen also introduced him to the music, fashion, and business resources developed by Coral Entertainment in the past two years.

Compared with the brilliant film and television resources, these aspects are still inevitably "mediocre", but they are also better than Lu Han imagined.

At this time, he realized that he really underestimated the energy of the big boss who had built countless foundations in just a few years, and signed with Blue Whale.

Lu Han is also ambitious!

Especially in the Beijing circle, there is another teammate Mou Fan, and he is unwilling to bow to that scum.

Looking at Lu Han with a flickering look in his eyes, Yang Tianzhen knew that his goal had been achieved, and he felt particularly comfortable.

His boss has too many layouts in Huadan, the market has been emptied, and the competition is too fierce, but there is still a blue ocean in the field of young male stars.

Zhang Ruoyun has already achieved a lot. Now that she has Lu Han and two top male stars, it is time for Yang Tianzhen to be proud of herself…

————

ps: The temperature in Shandong has dropped sharply in the past few days. I am not feeling well. Several people in my family are sick. There are many things to do.

So the update may not be stable, but it should not be interrupted. I will resume as soon as possible. I hope everyone will forgive me.
