Artist New Media Index Ranking No. 1: Tang Yan
…
…Fourth: Wei Yang …Fifth: Liu Shishi
…
…Chapter 19: Zhao Liying In the nanny car, Tang Yan was in an especially good mood as she was looking through her phone.
Although I had expected that "Fall in Love with You" would perform well, I didn't expect it to be so impressive.
As far as female lead dramas are concerned, this can be said to be her best and most popular work.
If we only consider the bonus for the artists, the character of Zhao Mosheng changes from a lively, cheerful and sunny girl to a somewhat introverted and sensitive one after experiencing family changes, which is really pitiful.
But these misfortunes and difficulties in life did not defeat her. In the face of difficulties, she remained strong and independent, yet kind, which makes her a very likable character.
It can be said that the level and character arc of this role are definitely among the best in Tang Yan's career.
Haitang Duoduo in "Joy of Life" is a little thin, and Gu Li in "Tiny Times" is even more incomparable. Those naive characters 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% to 70% of the charm, it will be enough to win countless fans.
She silently gave a thumbs up to [Tang Yan] and [Wei Yang], and then gave a thumbs down to [Liu Shishi] and [Zhao Liying]. Only then did Tang Yan leave the page and concentrate on watching her fans fight against the black fans.
In fact, a few days ago, she was criticized by the black fans and fans of her rivals and she was so upset that she didn't check her Weibo for several days.
Now the situation has improved and Tang Yan has recovered. She keeps her phone in her hand and checks Weibo every once in a while.
"arrive."
The driver stopped the car. Tang Yan took a look around and got out of the car wearing only sunglasses. After walking a few steps, she ran into a dozen young girls who surrounded her in surprise.
"Sister, we are all your fans. We like you very much. Can you please sign an autograph for us?"
The assistant who was accompanying him instinctively came out to stop him: "Sorry, we just finished an event and we are a little tired..."
"It's okay, just a few people."
Tang Yan smiled, spoke gently to the fans, then carefully signed autographs and took photos. The driver and bodyguard watched the fans and the surroundings vigilantly to prevent any accidents.
Celebrity artists basically have this configuration, with assistants and bodyguards playing the good guy and blocking and covering up the bad guys.
In this case, if the stars don't want to care, they can just leave. After all, they are just "poor people" arranged by the agency and dare not resist. Even if they have many fans, they will not be angry.
If you are more polite, you can give an apologetic look, or say a few nice words to comfort the other person, and everyone will be happy.
And if the stars are willing to give some benefits to their fans, then they should just be good people. With the "unsympathetic" staff as a backdrop, they will appear more friendly and kind, and the fans' inner favor towards them will double.
These are all little tricks used by the management team. Staff members who are insensitive, lack vision, and are uncooperative will not become close friends of the stars.
"Great, I've been waiting for you for two days, and finally you've arrived."
"Come on, Tangtang!"
"We will always support you."
“…”
Fans encouraged and said goodbye reluctantly. Tang Yan personally held the two gifts sent to her and waved in response: "Thank you. Be careful when you go back."
After getting on the elevator, Tang Yan opened the gift in a good mood. Inside was a Begonia Duoduo doll. She liked it very much and even took a photo with her mobile phone.
The assistant next to him, who was also holding a gift, joined in the fun and expressed it in an embarrassed tone.
"Sister, these days there are fans of yours squatting in the company every day, and some are mailing gifts from other places. The storage room at the front desk is almost full of gifts."
The large number of fans shows that Tang Yan is very popular now! It has been almost a year since Coral Entertainment was established, and it is no secret that the company is located in Shanghai.
In the past, there were fans lurking nearby, but they were mostly scattered and rarely gathered in groups. In the past half month, they have become quite concentrated, and most of them are Tang Yan’s fans. The reason is self-evident.
"You guys go over and take care of it later. If it's snacks or something, share them among everyone. Don't let them go bad."
"Sort the other gifts and letters and show them to me later."
Tang Yan made arrangements. As a top star like her, she has a lot of fans. Even if only a small number of them send her gifts, the number will still be considerable.
The food couldn’t be kept, and she couldn’t finish it all by herself, so she basically shared it out.
She kept all the letters and either kept or gave away the gifts. Tang Yan originally planned to sell them, not for the money, but mainly because she couldn't store them anymore.
There are many gifts that are not needed by myself or the people around me, and it would be a pity to just leave them in the corner gathering dust, so it is better to sell them to people who need and like them.
But doing so was more or less a waste of the fans' kindness, so Tang Yan later learned two tricks from Wei Yang.
One way is to find the person who gave the gift, then send the gift back with an autographed photo. The postage doesn’t cost much, but the surprise will definitely be huge.
But doing so is too troublesome and wastes manpower and material resources, plus it is difficult to get the address, so Wei Yang cooperated with the official fan club to raffle off these gifts to fans as a benefit on platforms such as Weibo and fan groups.
In this way, it is not so troublesome and can also enhance the internal cohesion of fans. It is a relatively good method.
Tang Yan is not the only one who does this with Wei Yang. It has even become the standard way for Blue Whale artists to deal with fan gifts.
As more and more people did this, a rule was formed, and even the fans of each group knew about it. Many people had given gifts and drawn gifts, and they accepted them well.
"This little crystal dolphin is quite interesting."
Arriving at the company's floor, Tang Yan pulled out a gift she liked, played with it with a smile, and walked to the front desk.
Although Coral Entertainment and Blue Whale are closely related, their companies are not located in the same place.
This is also expected. There is competition between the two sides to a certain extent, and some artists have grudges against each other. There is no need for them to get together.
Although Coral Entertainment Company is not very large, it is quite grand, occupying almost half of the floor.
In addition to basic facilities such as conference rooms and office areas, it also has its own training rooms, rehearsal halls, dressing rooms, costume rooms, audio-visual rooms, photo studios, 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 domestic entertainment agency, so their move is naturally extraordinary.
As the top female star of Coral Entertainment, Tang Yan’s status in the company can be imagined. She even has her own independent office and exclusive office area for the team.
This is also the only one in Coral Entertainment at present. Including Da Mimi, it only has an independent office, but the studio team itself is not on the Coral side.
Tang Yan returned to her office and was about to continue opening her gifts when her executive agent arrived.
In name, Tang Yan's agent is Yang Tianzhen, but Yang Tianzhen also has to manage the company, so he 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, including a luxury brand."
Tang Yan's eyes lit up: "Which one?"
"BAIIy, or Barry."
Tang Yan has heard of this brand and she has a bag of this brand at home.
It can be considered an international brand, probably between the first and second tier, and is lower in grade than the Chanel and LV that Liu Shishi and Liu Tianxian are exposed to.
In the luxury goods industry, there are clear levels of division between first-tier and first-tier, and between top luxury and top luxury. Although two different brands may seem very similar, the actual gap is as huge as a chasm.
But Tang Yan didn't expect to compete with the two Lius. Both of them have broken into the circle, but their strength is not something she can match at the moment.
For example, Xiao Zhao...
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Tang Yan's face. Among this group of top actresses, the two Lius have already established connections with high-end luxury brands, and some even have more than one.
The extremely popular Da Mimi is also not short of favor from brands. Previously, only Tang Yan and Xiao Zhao did not have such resources.
Tang Yan was not favored because she was just one step short and her hard power was at the bottom among the others.
Xiao Zhao's problem is completely with his style. He has limited attraction to high-end luxury brands, so he is determined to leverage his advantage of being popular with the audience and insists on cooperating with popular brands.
In the past, Tang Yan herself did not endorse any luxury goods, so the eldest brother did not talk about the second brother.
But now, she is expected to become a spokesperson for luxury goods, and Xiao Zhao’s situation becomes rather awkward.
Just for this reason, Tang Yan felt that even if she could earn less money, she had to kill this cooperation, so that she could later give Zhao a good scolding.
Tang Yan was discussing endorsement cooperation with her agent when her assistant suddenly knocked on the door to report the news.

"Sister, the boss is here."
In Coral Entertainment, most people in the company call Yang Tianzhen Mr. Yang or Teacher Yang, while a very small number of close associates and senior employees have different titles for them.
But the title "Boss" has never been used by anyone, and at some point it became a nickname for Wei Yang.
"Why is he here?"
Tang Yan was surprised and happy. Wei Yang seldom came to Coral Entertainment and they mostly contacted each other by phone or online.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look."
Tang Yan hasn't seen Wei Yang since Zhao and Liu returned to Shanghai after the Spring Festival. Not long ago, "Silent Separation" became popular and Wei Yang called her frequently, but they didn't have time to meet.
He came suddenly this time. Thinking about the WeChat message she had sent to the other party before, Tang Yan couldn't help but suspect that he came to find her specifically.
…
"Of course I'm here to see you!"
Facing Tang Yan's question, Wei Yang answered decisively, and then added a sentence as if nothing had happened.
"Just a little errand."
Yang Tianzhen on the side couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. As the person in charge of Coral Entertainment, she was no match for Wei Yang and Tang Yan's secret affair, and even Da Mimi had her suspicions.
In addition, she had originally jumped from Fan Xiaopang's job, so she knew what the situation was like over there.
Therefore, she is one of the few female employees under Wei Yang who has no filter for him, sees through his shameless scumbag face, and sneers at him.
Of course, there is also a certain degree of knowledge that Wei Yang would never fall in love with her, so she gave up and turned love into hate.
"I knew it."
It’s no wonder that Tang Yan likes to play the role of a naive girl. She is indeed a little love-savvy. When she meets Wei Yang, she becomes less shrewd than before and sits down happily leaning against Wei Yang.
"Come to my place for dinner later. My mom gave me a bunch of delicious food for the New Year. I left a lot for you."
"Okay."
Wei Yang certainly wouldn't spoil the fun, so he coaxed her a few words and then continued the previous topic with Yang Tianzhen.
What he said just now was not a lie. Wei Yang came here for no big deal. He came here partly for Tang Yan.
After all, the work just became popular, and Wei Yang knew that she was eager to share it with him, so he came to support her. He also wanted to see what Coral Entertainment’s next arrangements for Tang Yan were.
This is the actress he had worked so hard to promote. Her fame and reputation are much better than in the original time and space. Wei Yang doesn't want her to be ruined by Yang Tianzhen.
"…Nowadays, the sugary queen style is very popular, and there is a certain market for sweet dramas. It can be salty or sweet, but we prefer to lean towards professional elites. Of course, we will not let go of the field of ancient costumes easily."
Tang Yan's personal style is not as prominent as that of the others, which is her disadvantage and means that the audience's memory of her is shallow.
But this is also one of her advantages, that is, she is a jack of all trades and can play almost any role.
Therefore, Tang Yan is suitable for a wide range of roles, but the company hopes that she can play more queen-like roles.
Not only is it more in line with the style and has more outstanding features, it also has the highest reputation and recognition from the outside world.
"Actually, I really like to film 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 the role of a silly and sweet girl. Not only does it feel easy to play, she personally also likes this style of work.
Women, more or less, all have similar aspirations.
Some people prefer to be a queen or empress, while others are willing to be a Mary Sue wife, to be cared for and pampered.
Wei Yang roughly understood Tang Yan's thoughts. For example, he preferred to play villains, preferably those who were sinister and inhumane.
He knew that Tang Yan was not a very career-oriented person, which was similar to Liu Shishi. If they had a choice, they would rather stay at home and 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 can choose some scripts she likes to perform. If she really likes a script, she can also discuss it with him and make arrangements as appropriate.
"My dear, you are so good to me."
Tang Yan bit Wei Yang regardless of the fact that Yang Tianzhen was there. Yang Tianzhen couldn't bear to watch it and felt a little resentful.
In this case, Tang Yan has someone behind her, so how can she carry out her work...
Wei Yang ignored her. Tang Yan was originally brought here by him to help open up the situation for Coral Entertainment, not to be a slave.
If Yang Tianzhen wants to exploit her, she can find someone else. Her woman is not a tool to make money, and Boss Wei is not that poor.
But he was his own general after all, so after Wei Yang gave him a stick, he also fed him two sweet dates.
"Blue Whale is preparing an urban drama about a group of urban women. If you can find the right ones, you can cast all five female protagonists."
"Are you talking about Ode to Joy?"
Yang Tianzhen had obviously done her homework, or had been eyeing this project for a long time. Now that Wei Yang had given the green light, she was overjoyed and started to make plans 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 out, 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 out. And the obedient girl Guan Juer is just right for our company's newcomer Xu Lu."
"The role of Qu Xiaoxiao is a bit crazy, and it's not easy to find one. I remember there was a concubine named Reyiza in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This girl has a wild vibe."
"Fan Shengmei... I'll go talk to Mimi. This character has a lot of depth, maybe it can impress him. At worst, I can add more scenes and give him some benefits."
“…”
Yang Tianzhen is ambitious and ready to do something big, and even has Da Mimi in his sight.
Fan Shengmei is the second female lead, and even the second female lead is a bit dangerous. Her character is not likable, but even Wei Yang doesn't dare to say this, which shows how bold Yang Tianzhen is.
This is to tie "Ode to Joy" directly to Coral Entertainment, not only to make it a signature drama, but also to promote several other newcomers at once.
