"Coral Entertainment is officially established, Tang Yan, Lou Yixiao, Wang Kai and other artists officially announced to join"
"Wei Yang's new right-hand man, Yang Tianzhen behind Fan Bingbing"
"Planning the Artist Management Map, Wei Yang's Entertainment Kingdom"
"Yang Mi Studio and Coral Entertainment have a major collaboration, Meiya executive: It is not convenient to disclose"
"Informed sources revealed that Liu Shishi wants to leave Tangren, and the three beauties from The Legend of Sword and Fairy gather at Coral Entertainment?"
《……》
After the Spring Festival, the popularity of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has not yet subsided, and a big melon broke out in the entertainment industry.
Yang Tianzhen, vice president of Fan Xiaopang Studio, officially announced the establishment of Coral Entertainment and announced several signed artists.
Among them are Wang Kai, a young actor who became famous because of "Come on, Mr. Shan", Lou Yixiao, a core creator of "Love Apartment", Liu Lin, a well-known veteran actor, Huang Ling, Xue Zhiqian, singers, Sha Yi, etc.
Of course, the most important thing is the joining of Tang Yan, one of the most popular young actresses today, and the announcement of cooperation with Yang Mi Studio.
Da Mimi is still an artist of Meiya, but she has reached a cooperation with Coral Entertainment in the name of her studio, and it is even semi-affiliated in nature.
Normally, this situation would definitely not be allowed, but the fact that Meiya didn't say anything meant that an agreement had been reached.
Coral Entertainment became famous overnight after signing two popular actresses, Da Mimi and Tang Yan. Immediately, people started digging into their backgrounds.
Later, due to various collaborations, it was impossible to keep it secret, and Wei Yang had no intention of hiding it at all, so his shareholding structure was easily revealed by the outside world.
Except for a small portion of shares held personally by Yang Tianzhen, the bosses behind the other three companies holding shares in Coral Entertainment are all Wei Yang.
This matter was not unexpected by everyone. These artists were basically all close to Wei Yang. Only Boss Wei could bring these people together, with Tang and Mi in charge.
Compared to Blue Whale Company, Coral Entertainment is an artist agency that focuses on marketing and traffic, so it tends to be more high-profile.
At the press conference held by the company, Coral Entertainment CEO and chief agent Yang Tianzhen revealed a lot of explosive information.
Some of this information is true and some is false.
Some of them were held by Blue Whale all the time, just waiting to build momentum for Yang Tianzhen.
Some are uncertain or even false news, so you can spread them first, as long as you don't say anything fatal.
This situation is very common in the entertainment industry. The most basic one is the mystery of casting. When a project is decided, a group of stars are "pulled" together and the rumors are spread as if they are incredible, but in the end most of them miss out regretfully.
Wei Yang seeks stability, and the company focuses on film and television production, so apart from daily promotion, many of Blue Whale’s development policies are not disclosed to the public.
Yang Tianzhen started out as a publicity artist, and since there are many artist developments that don’t involve the principle of confidentiality, she did it on a large scale.
"Our company will launch a series of artist + production plans with Blue Whale and Jade Shrimp, including many key IPs..."
Chubby Yang Tianzhen took the microphone and talked to the audience: "For example, Tang Yan will star in "Silent Separation" next, Yang Mi will star in "Swords of Legends", Wang Kai and Yi Xiao are also in it..."
"In addition, we also plan to develop "Zhu Xian" with Yang Mi, and "The Legend of Pearls of the Concubines of the Tang Dynasty" with Tang Yan..."
"Currently, the Chinese version of 'Running Man' is discussing the cast, and we are also actively in contact with the production side, and have made some breakthrough progress..."
"We have also reached strategic cooperation with many companies including Blue Whale, Enlight, Tangren, Orange Sky, Pony.com, Croton Media, and Tianyu..."
If Wei Yang were here, he would give Yang Tianzhen a thumbs up. What he said was very thoughtful.
Seven are true and three are false. Even if it fails later, there are enough excuses to smooth things over.
It is true that Tang and Mi participated in "Fall in Love with You" and "Swords of Legends". There is no need to say much about the former, and the latter all depends on Da Mimi to make money.
As for "Zhu Xian", it's more ridiculous. The copyright of this book belongs to Huanrui.
The reason why she was related to Da Mimi had nothing to do with Wei Yang, but Huanrui used this project to win her over, claiming that once Da Mimi went over, she would be the producer of "Zhu Xian" + Bi Yao.
This is true. In her previous life, Da Mimi almost played the role of Bi Yao.
But due to various reasons, the two sides eventually parted ways, resulting in the fact that when Huanrui was filming "Fights Break Sphere", Bi Yao asked Xiao Zhao, who had a high popularity at the time, to save the show.
As for "Legend of Pearls of Tang Dynasty Concubines", it is actually "The Glory of Tang Dynasty". The copyright of the book is in Wei Yang's hands, and the script has also been adapted, but the project was launched too early, and Tang Yan has not been decided. Yang Tianzhen was just talking nonsense afterwards.
If "The Journey of Flower" had not been confirmed, Wei Yang even suspected that Yang Tianzhen had also given this drama to the artists of Coral Entertainment.
And "Running Man" did not lie. The initial running man team had indeed basically confirmed Xue Zhiqian and Sha Yi.
This is also the reason why Coral Entertainment signed the two people.
Xue Zhiqian was easy to sign. Not to mention their long-standing friendship, from a career perspective, he was originally fighting alone, and Wei Yang was giving him a hand.
Previously, he had a falling out with his former employer, Shangteng Entertainment, and was put on ice for several years. His career was not as good as before. He just terminated his contract last year and was recruited by Wei Yang shortly afterwards.
This guy is determined to make music, and his requirement for joining the new company is that he must release an album and that he must have musical autonomy.
Sha Yi's case is even simpler. This guy is in an awkward situation now. He has a high national popularity, but doesn't get many film offers. He wants to move into serious dramas, but people treat him as a comedian.
Sun Ce in "The New Three Kingdoms" and Xiao He in "The Banquet" both worked hard to act out their roles, but the audience either made fun of them or didn't remember them.
Instead of hanging around in some low-budget dramas, it is better to join Wei Yang, change track and enter the field of variety shows.
Xue and Sha later became well-known variety show hosts with quick reactions, plenty of laughs, and were good at making gags and telling jokes. They also had enough popularity with the audience.
With the addition of Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang who have already been selected, as well as Chen Chichi who Wei Yang decided to keep after much deliberation, and Rouba who has had wonderful performances in variety shows, the Running Man team is basically formed.
All that’s left is to find a so-called “big devil”. Wei Yang prefers to find a real sports star, but the personality of a sports star may not be suitable for variety shows, so he needs to consider it further.
However, with the previous few people here, there is no need to worry about the variety show effect, as long as we find someone who is not a slouch.
"Run" is true, and the subsequent strategic cooperation on movies is also true, but the actual situation is not as exaggerated as Yang said.
The so-called strategic cooperation is nothing more than the list of actors being included in the casting range of major companies. It sounds great, but in reality it is of little use.

Take Blue Whale as an example. The company has at least hundreds of actors on its candidate list, but at the critical moment, it still depends on its own people.
Therefore, the only company that has truly achieved this strategic cooperation and is considered to be a member of our team is Blue Whale.
There are also a few companies allied with Wei Yang, such as Tangren and Guangxian, which will be included in the casting priority list.
However, this is not complete nonsense. With the support of Wei Yang, Coral Entertainment can also enter this network and exchange interests.
This is the biggest core competitiveness of the new company Coral Entertainment.
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a branch of the Blue Whale Artist Management Department. It is not as important as the direct line, but it is also not under the control of anyone and is not bound by the parent company.
In the future, Blue Whale will pay more attention to film and television production, concentrate on shooting high-quality films and television, and improve the reputation of its own artists.
As for those traffic artists who make money but have mediocre reputation, it is all the fault of Coral Entertainment. They reap the benefits of traffic and make dirty money from fan circles. It is all the idea of Yang Tianzhen, the marketing king. Wei Yang is just an ordinary major shareholder.
This move was not very clever, and Wei Yang did not expect to be able to remain unscathed. As long as there was someone who could bear most of the firepower for him, that would be enough...
…
Yang Tianzhen was bragging and the media were taking notes. They were all knowledgeable people and of course knew there was some water in it.
But what does this have to do with them? The media only needs traffic and popularity. Everything was said by Yang Tianzhen, so there is no need to consider whether it is true or not. They just want the news to be blown as much as possible.
As expected, Coral Entertainment also topped the Weibo hot search list and remained at the top of the list.
That’s right, after the Spring Festival, Weibo hot searches were officially launched, one or two years earlier than the original time and space. This was naturally due to the suggestion of Boss Wei.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and Coral Entertainment also became the first batch of users to experience the game on Weibo's hot searches.
Yang Tianzhen’s personal Weibo gained one million followers in just a few days, catching up with ordinary celebrities.
Putting aside the establishment of Coral Entertainment, many people are more concerned about the information revealed by Yang Tianzhen this time.
For example, the casting of several dramas and "Running Man".
There is no doubt that the latter is extremely popular. After all, it is backed by a national Korean variety show. There are even many die-hard fans of the Korean version of Running Man who boycotted it and demanded that a domestic version not be filmed.
Wei Yang didn’t quite understand what these people were thinking. If you like to watch the Korean version, then watch the Korean version. What does it have to do with you if the domestic version is made?
Later I thought about it and it was understandable. Just like when the Korean version of "My Love from the Star" was being filmed, there were also many fans of the drama and his fans who tried to stop it. They felt like something they liked was being ruined.
But understanding is one thing, but a project of this magnitude, which may even involve billions of dollars in subsequent revenue, is not something that can be abandoned just because of a bunch of fans’ boycott.
Not to mention that Wei Yang disagreed, even the Korean side disagreed. The licensing fee Wei Yang paid was quite a lot.
And to put it bluntly, most of the so-called die-hard fans of Korean variety shows in China watch them through pirated channels.
It’s fine if you don’t spend money, but you also don’t let others make money. There’s no reason for them to make money…
Amid the boycott, Blue Whale also announced the purchase of the copyright to produce "Run", and the partner was Shanghai TV, which had the best relationship with Wei Yang.
Wei Yang passed on Zhejiang TV because the conditions it offered were not as sincere as those offered by Shanghai TV.
For publicity reasons, Blue Whale did not announce the seven-member group, most of which had already been confirmed, causing a lot of confusion and speculation from the outside world.
Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang, Tang Yan, and Yang Mi are among them, and there are also some more promising variety show stars, such as Teacher He, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Xie Na, etc.
Especially Huang Bo, even Wei Yang didn't expect that the support would be so high. On the one hand, it is because of his high EQ character, and on the other hand, it is the bonus of two movies with a budget of over 1 billion.
