Coral Entertainment, conference room "At present, we have started an exclusive cooperation with Penguin Music. The latter 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 particularly favored by various variety shows now. He has received three or four invitations, including a permanent guest, as well as invitations to two comedy movies and a TV series..."

"Since we reached a cooperation agreement with Liu Feiren, more than a dozen brands have approached us. After evaluation, we found 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..."

"According to Blue Whale's plan, we have been negotiating with several suitable candidates. The progress is going smoothly and we hope to obtain some of the agency rights..."

CEO Yang Tianzhen is currently reporting to Boss Wei, mainly focusing on several members of "Running Man".

After this variety show became a huge hit, every 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 now joined Coral Entertainment, but the terms of his contract are different from those of ordinary artists. It is more inclined towards cooperation, and Coral only has partial agency rights over him.

But this is a good thing, because Liu Feiren is extremely valuable. His commercial value is much higher than that of the others, including the now extremely popular Rouba.

The title of Asia's Flying Man is not undeserved. He was originally semi-retired, his commercial value plummeted, and he even planned not to renew many of his brands when they expired.

As a result, things looked brighter than expected. The hit show "Run" became a huge hit, and Liu Feiren's popularity increased instead of decreasing, and he even made it from the sports circle into the entertainment circle.

However, the operations in the entertainment industry are different from those in the sports industry, so Liu Feiren simply cooperated with Coral Entertainment.

This was mainly due to his trust in Wei Yang. The reasons that Wei Yang had used to convince Liu Feiren had basically been achieved, and the results were even better than originally expected. Of course, Liu Feiren chose to continue to believe in Boss Wei.

At the same time, a large part of Liu Feiren’s popularity now relies on "Running Man", so this can also be regarded as a kind of interest bundling.

In this way, both parties don't have to worry about Liu Feiren and "Running Man" separating. One side provides popularity and the other side provides operation, and they cooperate to make money and achieve a win-win situation.

Right now, these people from "Running Man" are all cash cows for Coral Entertainment. They are so popular that even Tang Yan and Da Mimi have to stay out of the limelight.

Yang Tianzhen also paid more and more attention to them. On the premise of making money, he arranged development paths for them according to their personal styles and inclinations.

Coral Entertainment does not want them all to be hindered by "Running Man", and all-round development is the only way forward.

It's actually a good thing that they each have their own suitable paths. They can feed back with the popularity of "Running Man" and develop more efficiently. Then, they can give back to "Running Man" with the achievements of these careers, killing two birds with one stone.

So the company did not stop them, but instead supported the careers of several people.

Xue Zhiqian likes music, so he decided to become a singer. Sha Yi couldn't escape the habit of being a comedian, so he settled in comedy.

Of course, they cannot give up their variety show base. In addition to "Running Man", they will be active in many variety show occasions in the future.

In comparison, Liu Feiren is actually quite awkward. His performance in "Running Man" is not bad, but it is mainly his character setting + personal aura that makes him not particularly suitable for variety shows.

In addition, he has not given up on returning to the game, so Coral Entertainment mainly focuses on commercial aspects for him, while also figuring out a development path that is suitable for him.

He is not very good at acting or singing, so he should focus on variety shows, preferably the kind that can bring out his personal strengths.

In addition, because Blue Whale is preparing for "Dad is Back", Coral Entertainment followed suit to see if it can get some of the operating rights for some cute kids and fathers.

"Where Are We Going, Dad?" has proven that these kids' ability to make money is even more terrifying than many first-line stars. Not only do they dominate the children's market, but they can also derive into some other fields.

Wei Yang has already prepared to learn from "Where Are We Going, Dad?", so he not only wants to enjoy the show, but also these cute kids are within his target.

This is especially true for artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, many of whom develop in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Not only can they sign cute babies, they can also take over the agency rights of their celebrity fathers in the mainland, getting both of them together.

It’s just that Wei Yang doesn’t want to promote too many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, so “Dad is Back” will only have one or two Hong Kong and Taiwan artists at most, and the main focus is still on mainland artists.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yang."

After listening to what Yang Tianzhen said, Wei Yang was still very satisfied. After all, Coral Entertainment has been established for less than a year, and it has achieved its current development, even if it has borrowed the momentum of "Running Man", which is already very impressive.

After getting the recognition from Boss Wei, Yang Tianzhen 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 have made a breakthrough so quickly?"

Although her words were a bit flattering, they were also sincere.

Tang Yan and Da Mimi in the early stage, and the current "Running Man" trio, were all signed or arranged by Wei Yang. From a strategic point of view, Wei Yang is the one who deserves the credit.

However, Boss Wei obviously had no need to compete for credit with his subordinates. He just praised and encouraged them and also brought them good news.

Wang Kai, who is being trained by their company, will become the second male lead in Wei Yang's new drama "Langya Bang".

This made everyone very happy. Although Coral Entertainment and Blue Whale are from the same family, everyone knows that they were raised by their stepmother.

Naturally, they heard about Wei Yang's new work "Nirvana in Fire" and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they also knew it would not be easy.

Not to mention the heroine, the three members of the Blue Whale are not easy to deal with, and there are also Fan and Liu in the outside world.

The second and third male leads thought that their chances were not high, don't forget, Li Jiahang and Qiao Zhenyu were there, but they didn't expect that a pie in the sky would fall on Wang Kai's head.

Wei Yang could roughly guess what several people were thinking and couldn't help but shook 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 contracts and is not suitable for the role of Prince Jing. Qiao Zhenyu is suitable, but he is more famous, has more film contracts, and his cost-effectiveness is lower.

After all, "Nirvana in Fire" has Wei Yang and Liu Shishi in the cast, and the other actors are not bad either. There is no need to bring in Qiao Zhenyu. It would be better to support Wang Kai.

There are not many good male actors in the Blue Whale series, which has always been a headache. If there is one more who can take up the mantle, it will be the best.

Thinking of this, Wei Yang couldn't help but think of another thing: "What do you think of that person named Zhang Ruoyun?"

Yang Tianzhen and the other vice president looked at each other. The latter was a little hesitant, but still spoke frankly.

"His shortcomings are that his acting skills are not that good, but his strengths are that he is handsome, obedient and able to endure hardships, his work attitude is quite serious and his personality is relatively stable."

Yang Tianzhen added: "I also have a high sense of identification with the company."

“This is very important.”

As mentioned before, Blue Whale has been lacking a male idol star after 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 replacement for Wei Yang in the idol drama field.

Before that, they investigated many people, including Chen Yao under Si Yatou, Huanrui's newcomer Li Xfeng, 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 an assistant director, and so on.

There are still many good candidates, but there is no one that Boss Wei is satisfied with.

This gave Yang Tianzhen a headache, but she didn't know that Boss Wei was also having a headache. It's true that you don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you do.

It’s no wonder that others look down on domestic entertainment. These people are the backbone of the future 85-95 generation. Many of them are criminals, and those who did not break the law have also had their reputations ruined.

There are a few others that are not dangerous, but Boss Wei is not very interested in them.

For example, Li Xian and Ren Jialun are not particularly good-looking, and the former looks poor in ancient costumes, while the latter is very concerned about styling, so they are not considered.

Chen Yao is young and handsome, and he looks good in ancient costumes, but he is already taken.

He is the dead girl's trusted and beloved general. Given the relationship between the dead girl and Wei Yang, there is no way the other party would let him go.

Zhu Yilong is not bad, but what Blue Whale lacks the least is his type. He has more or less similarities with Wei, Qiao, and Wang. What the company wants is a young idol, not a universal substitute.

So, just when Boss Wei was looking for a way out and was ready to consider the choice between taking down Yang Yang or training an unknown newcomer, someone recommended a candidate to him——

Zhang Ruoyun! Wei Yang certainly knew this guy, after all, "Joy of Life" was a show that took advantage of him, and he was known as the "standard male lead in online novels", but this title now also belongs to Wei Yang.

In fact, Wei Yang had thought about Zhang Ruoyun before, but like Chen Yao, he was already taken.

Moreover, he is not just someone who has a boyfriend. His boss is his biological father, Zhang Jian, who is a well-known figure in the Beijing circle, involved in real estate and entertainment. He was the one who planned and filmed the drama "Snow Leopard".

This guy has a lot of connections in the Beijing circle and has considerable resources. No matter how capable Boss Wei is, can he snatch the son away from his father?

The answer is yes! Zhang Ruoyun's parents divorced when he was young, and he didn't have a good relationship with his father. Of course, they are father and son after all. He was able to star in "Snow Leopard" and "Black Fox" thanks to his father's efforts.

However, the father and son have differences on future development.

Zhang Jian is relatively conservative, and with limited resources, he focuses on mainstream themes. However, Zhang Ruoyun has her own ideas. She does not want to be confined to anti-Japanese war and spy war dramas, and for emotional and independent reasons, she wants to break free from her father's control.

This can be felt from the fact that Zhang Ruoyun later tried his best to get involved in online dramas. He really didn't want to be too closely tied to his father.

Later, there was a drama where father and son went to court, but there were many different opinions about the right and wrong in the process. Some said that the father was cheating his son, while others said that the father and son were acting in cahoots.

But no matter whether it was the discord between father and son or he wanted to get rid of the reputation of relying on his father for support, Zhang Ruoyun was determined to seek other development opportunities.

And in this circle, there are a few companies that can compare to Boss Wei.

Not to mention, Coral Entertainment has made it clear that their goal is to cultivate new top idols, and if the conditions are met, resources will be fully allocated.

So the rest was easy. Zhang Ruoyun didn't give it any second thought and was determined to sign a contract with Coral Entertainment.

He was already somewhat famous, and other company bosses would never let him go no matter what. But Zhang Jian was his biological father after all. Although the father and the father had their differences, his son insisted on doing so, and since the prospects were indeed promising, he readily chose to let go.

As a result, Zhang Ruoyun successfully joined Coral Entertainment and became a key seed artist for training.

The first resource was the blockbuster project "Gu Jian Qi Tan", which was led by Da Mimi and Rouba. Later, due to an unexpected role, Qiao Zhenyu came to the rescue and played the second male lead. This lineup would make other young actors envious.

In fact, in Wei Yang's opinion, Zhang Ruoyun's ancient costume looks not as good as her modern ones, and he is actually the type who relies on appearance.

However, in comparison, he is tall, has a good figure, has no obvious flaws, and is easy to style, so he can maximize his advantages in ancient costumes.

He is still quite optimistic about Zhang Ruoyun. The era of traffic is coming, and having a top-tier young actor in hand will bring many advantages and benefits.

"Please arrange for me to meet him later."

"What about "Nirvana in Fire"?"

Seeing that Boss Wei was in a good mood, the deputy general manager wanted to give Zhang Ruoyun a chance as well. Wei Yang thought about it and shook his head.

"There are no suitable roles. It's a waste to play a small supporting role. Maybe there will be a second film later. I will look for opportunities then."

"clear."

From Wei Yang's perspective, he might favor his friends, but he will not suppress any of his own artists. If the opportunity is right, he would like all of his artists to 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 playing a supporting role in the first part.

The business of the meeting was almost over, and 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 highest decision-makers are three people, Wei Yang, Yang Tianzhen, and his confidant who holds some of Wei Yang's shares and is responsible for supervision. Many of the company's core strategies are known to only these three people.

"Boss, this is the information of the four members of EXO. We have also contacted them implicitly. Here is the general feedback."

Wei Yang flipped through the documents, then looked at Yang Tianzhen: "Who do you think is the most suitable person for us to sign?"

Yang Tianzhen didn't hesitate: "Lu Han."

"Why?"

Wei Yang shook the file: "From the information we have contacted, Wu is the most active and has the highest popularity. 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 is as popular as Wu, has a good reputation, and has received good feedback from us. He and Zhang Ruoyun do not conflict with each other in terms of their paths. Instead, they can complement each other and he is the most suitable candidate."

"As for the remaining two, one is somewhat similar to Wu, and has not responded actively to us. I guess he has a target in mind. The other one has no plans to cooperate with a domestic company for the time being, so Lu Han is the most suitable candidate."

After hearing this, Wei Yang smiled with satisfaction and closed the file: "Then talk to him."
