Chapter 461 Wei Yang: There Is Still a Gap Between Me and the Older Generation of Capitalists

Lu Han returns to China and signs with Coral Entertainment!

It quickly became the headline of entertainment news. EXO is currently quite special.

They had limited activities in China before, so they are not well-known, at least not well-known to the public.

But they are quite popular in the fan circle and have accumulated a considerable number of fans. Moreover, as a popular Korean boy group, they are still very popular with the media in the industry.

At first, there was a lot of excitement when Moufan returned to China. Now Lu Han is back and has joined forces with Coral Entertainment, so the momentum is naturally greater.

And these two are also the most popular two among the four Chinese members, and they have performed well in the group.

One is a handsome and handsome man!

The other is a typical weak flower boy!

There is no doubt that these two styles are among the most popular styles among female fans, so their fan base, especially female fans, is very large.

Of course, these two styles are not liked by boys, especially the latter, who may regard them as "sissy", but fortunately Lu Han does not need to be liked by them. These boys don't pay him, so they can do whatever they want.

However, Wei Yang still explained it to prevent someone from smearing and leading the rhythm.

In the previous life, in the early days of the four returning sons, Lu Han was the one who was the worst attacked, and the other was Huang Zitao.

The latter was attacked very simply because he couldn't speak, was too impulsive in many things, and had no business ability and achievements to show. He also relied on his family's wealth to work alone, but he had no resources in the circle, so he naturally ran into obstacles everywhere.

The entertainment industry is about connections and resources. It's not that you can go smoothly just by having money, otherwise it would have been the world of coal bosses and real estate developers.

That is to say, the Internet learned a lesson later, and it was more skilled. It used the platform to buy at the bottom and various interest bundles, and then matched it with massive funds, and fought all the way, and then occupied a lot of voice in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, it is important to have money in the entertainment industry, but it is difficult to get out of the door just by having money.

Otherwise, even if it is Wang Dashao, if he rushes in rashly and has no support in the circle, he will either leave in disgrace or be skinned and eaten.

Huang Zitao has always been regarded as the youngest of the four returning sons, which is more or less related to the fact that he does not have strong entertainment capital behind him.

Of course, there are gains and losses. After all, although he is not popular enough, he is at least free, which is what people expect. However, in this way, facing a lot of suppression and attacks, he can only endure it by himself without sufficient ability.

Lu Han is a little different from him. He is hated by others because he is a tree that attracts wind.

In the early days of his previous life, Lu Han should have developed the most rapidly, and his momentum was slightly better than that of a certain fan. In this case, it is inevitable that he will be targeted by all parties.

A certain fan was protected by the Beijing circle, so the damage was limited. Lu Han also cooperated with Yang Tianzhen in his previous life.

But at that time, Yang Tianzhen was just one of the bosses of Yi Xin Entertainment, which had just been established not long ago. He had some power, but it was far from enough to withstand these storms.

In addition, Lu Han himself has the image of a flower boy. In fact, many people dislike this kind of feminine aesthetics. He is also from the Korean wave and is the most popular. The buffs are simply stacked, so naturally he became a target.

When it comes to the derogatory stereotypes of the time, such as fresh meat, sissy, and pretty boy, Lu Han was the first to be criticized.

To be honest, this kind of attack brought a lot of exposure to Lu Han and also refined and united his fans.

Everyone in the fan circle knows an operation called [abuse fans], that is, the more the main idol is hit, the more united the fans are. Lu Han's various data are so beautiful, which is deeply related to the fans' hatred of the enemy caused by the impact from all sides.

But the price is that Lu Han's popularity among passers-by plummeted, and he once became one of the most hated artists on the Internet.

Later, Lu Han officially announced that his various resources dropped off a cliff. Fans had conflicts because of the relationship, and the public's perception of the relationship was too severe before.

Until Lu Han relied on variety shows and persistence in his relationship, he gradually restored the public's reputation.

More importantly, the collapse of other competitors and even teammates made him the cleanest traffic artist. The stupid move of announcing his relationship at the peak of his career also became a proof of [real man].

As a result, Lu Han's popularity among the public has been rising. The young idol who was the most criticized back then has become the one with the best reputation.

So this world is sometimes full of black humor, which makes people laugh and cry!

But let's not talk about what happened in the previous life. Now that Lu Han has joined Wei Yang, Boss Wei will not sit back and watch his cash cow being used as a target.

It is inevitable that traffic stars will be scolded!

But Lu Han must not become a representative and typical example of this, and give up all his popularity among the public. This is not recognized by Boss Wei or even Coral Entertainment.

Since the development of Blue Whale, it is not without controversial artists. Da Mimi and Guli Nazha have both experienced the wave of black and red, and Xiao Zhao was not smooth sailing at the beginning.

Controversy is controversial, and it is acceptable to have many black fans, but the basic base of passers-by must not be abandoned. This is very fatal to artists.

Moreover, the most abundant and powerful resources of Blue Whale are film and television resources. The collapse of the popularity of artists among the public will cause great harm to film and television projects, so the artists of Blue Whale always insist on ensuring their basic base of passers-by as much as possible.

People like Da Mimi and Na Zha also have various operations to whitewash and restore their reputations, which Blue Whale has always attached great importance to.

So Wei Yang personally gave instructions that Lu Han is still mainly a singer, and he will make arrangements for film and television resources. But don't be greedy and seek perfection.

The best one is the one that suits you!

Boss Wei knew very well that Lu Han's acting skills were not worth expecting, and he probably couldn't even compare to Na Zha, at least the latter was a professional.

So if he wanted to not show his weakness, digest the film and television resources allocated to him as much as possible, and perform brilliantly, he should act in his true colors and arrange roles that fit his image and personality as much as possible.

Wei Yang was still confident about this, because he had the experience of his previous life, and he knew what roles Lu Han was suitable for.

At present, he basically leaned towards the direction of teenager, younger brother, and newborn calf.

In this regard, his teammate Zhang Yixing set a good example. Don't worry about the size of the role, just pick the right one. With his own popularity, as long as he doesn't act badly and encounters a good project, he will get good reviews.

So Wei Yang talked to Yang Tianzhen and called Lu Han in person.

Tell him not to rush, first pick a few roles in suitable projects to show his face, and focus on two projects, and try to perform as well as possible, and the company will build momentum for him later.

Before that, Lu Han had better train his acting skills again, and when the initial opportunity is right, the company will tailor a project for him according to his strengths.

This is the biggest confidence of Blue Whale in packaging artists!

Why Blue Whale is always right in promoting people is that the roles will try their best to adapt to the conditions of the artists, and even tailor-made projects for the artists. As long as the project is popular, the artists will benefit a lot.

Unlike other companies, which lack resources and confidence, artists often need to try their luck or even force a certain role.

If the role is suitable, it's fine, but if it's not suitable, it's a double loss.

If the project loses, it's a loss of money, and if the artist loses, the situation may be minor or serious. It may not be a big deal, but it may be a complete failure.

Lu Han didn't expect that Boss Wei would personally ask about his development, and he knew him quite well. He was grateful and the few unfairness in his heart also dissipated, and he said he would obey his command.

So, Lu Han's first project was to be assigned to "Entertainment Legend", playing a stupid and kind-hearted supporting role.

The screenwriter department of Blue Whale also received the task and took out a college-themed TV series script "Together in the Classroom" that had been prepared long ago, and modified the important characters in it according to Lu Han's situation.

Wei Yang had written this script a long time ago. He wanted to shoot it himself, but later it was delayed and he put it aside.

Now that time has passed, it is impossible for Wei Yang to play this kind of campus youth drama with a group portrait with his current size.

Originally, Zhang Ruoyun was considered, but later it was found that he was more suitable for various idol dramas with ancient costumes, and there were many scripts suitable for his subject matter.

On the contrary, Lu Han has a narrow range of roles, and he is young and cheerful. He is quite suitable to play an ordinary college student. Maybe he can also stir up a CP and guide newcomers.

However, Boss Wei still told Yang Tianzhen to keep an eye on Lu Han.

This kid has a problem with his relationship!

Boss Wei doesn't mind his artists dating. It is human nature for men and women to love each other. He himself has several women, so there is no reason to stop them.

But dating is allowed, but it cannot affect the interests of the boss.

He admitted that Lu Han was very manly to announce his relationship at the peak of his career. He himself couldn't do it, and he admired his courage and boldness.

But now that he is his employee, Wei Yang will never allow Lu Han to do such a thing. Maybe it will ruin half of the company's top stars, and the price is too high.

Lu Han doesn't want to hide it from the outside world, so he can slowly discuss and properly solve the problem. There is no need to leave room for maneuver.

From the perspective of emotion, he is a man, but from the perspective of commercial interests, this is really a stupid move.

Wei Yang is now increasingly thinking of capitalists, and the nature of capitalists is cold-blooded and ruthless. Except for himself and a few close people, many of their considerations for the company tend to be based on interests.

Three years ago, Boss Wei would have applauded and strongly supported Lu Han's case.

But now he wants to prevent such things from happening as much as possible. The little conscience left is not to directly interfere with his feelings, and is willing to solve it in a roundabout way.

"I'm still soft-hearted."

Wei Yang sighed a little. Sometimes he is still kind. Look at the methods of real capitalists, which are ruthless and smart.

If it is not convenient for him to take action, he will hide behind the scenes and arrange a senior executive to break up the couple. After that, he will come out to be a good guy, "clean up" the senior executive, and appease him to win people's hearts.

The matter was perfectly resolved, the bad guy was killed, and he was still a good man who stood up for his employees.

This is a master!

Boss Wei felt that he was still inexperienced. Compared with these older generation capitalists, he was not lacking in ruthlessness when he took action, but he was sometimes soft-hearted when choosing whether to take action, and when playing this kind of routine of being both a boss and a shill, he was also less calm and frank.

In fact, to put it bluntly, his heart was not cold enough, and his face was not thick enough.

However, Wei Yang also felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing!

He has nothing to lack now, his career is successful enough, there is no need to be too unhuman, and it is also good to have some shortcomings and human touch.

Making money is important, but if you lose your original intention because of it, you will become a slave to money completely.

Thinking about it this way, Wei Yang was actually glad that he was different from those old capitalists. To put it in a rounded way, he was still a kind and amiable boss.

Wei Yang thought so, and many crew members of Operation Mekong also thought so.

It wasn’t long since Wei Yang left Thailand last time. Wei Yang was still very familiar with Thailand and had quite a few connections. When he was tired of filming, he would also arrange some small benefits for the staff.

He would also go out with several senior executives and core creators of the crew to relax.

Of course, this time they went to formal occasions.

Just kidding, this movie was produced by the public security department. Even if it was abroad, Boss Wei didn’t dare to go against the wind.

It can be said that the movie "Operation Mekong" is the most plain crew since Wei Yang debuted, with almost no actresses.

This made Boss Wei a little uncomfortable.

He debuted for so many years, and the crew life was actually not boring. Every crew had familiar actresses.

This was not because he had any fancy ideas or had to have something happen, but having a girl to change things up, at least chatting and talking was not lonely. Just chatting with a group of men was lively for a day or two, but it was boring after a long time.

Fortunately, Wei Yang soon discovered a new entertainment, which was to take a group of men to shoot guns.

As mentioned before, Thailand does not ban guns. Wei Yang's bodyguard team has guns. Such a place naturally has no shortage of shooting ranges.

Last time, Wei Yang did not have many fighting scenes in "Detective Chinatown", and he had Gao Yuanyuan and some clubs to relieve his boredom, so he naturally didn't care about these.

This time, there are many gun battles in "Operation Mekong". Wei Yang has done training in China, and he wanted to practice when he came abroad, and then he found paradise.

In fact, there are also places for live-fire shooting in China, and some related businesses and high-end clubs can apply.

Wei Yang once ran a member of a shooting hall in China, but there are too many restrictions in China, and his identity is relatively sensitive, so Wei Yang can't help but let go.

But in Thailand, there is no such concern. As long as you have money, you can play with rocket launchers.

This is not an exaggeration. The shooting range that Wei Yang found seems to have a military background. There are even mortars and old armored vehicles. What kind of light machine guns and heavy machine guns can be used as long as you can afford the bullets.

This time it can be considered to be fun!

As for men, how many of them don't like to play with guns and cannons? The domestic control is strict. Now, eunuchs who seem to have grown roots have met peerless beauties, and there are big families paying for them, so they all have fun.

Even director Dante Lam and producers turned a blind eye, and later simply joined in.

So, every time Boss Wei went to the shooting range, in addition to his bodyguards, there were at least a dozen crew members, and at most a reinforced platoon, crackling and firing crazily. The bullets fired in a few weeks could cover the Japanese in Hengdian for half a year.

The crew also jokingly formed a unit, combined with the members' hometowns, called [Shandong, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Sichuan... Twenty-six Provinces and Cities Coalition Forces Going to Thailand].

Wei Yang, who contributed money and effort, served as the commander-in-chief and political commissar, with 26 columns under his command, and a total force of nearly 150 people, which was considered a small warlord in Southeast Asia...
