Lu Han returns to China and signs with Coral Entertainment! This quickly became the headlines of entertainment news. These EXO members are currently quite special.
Their activities in the country were previously limited, so they are not well-known, or at least not well-known to the general public.
However, they are quite popular in the fan circle and have accumulated a considerable number of fans. Moreover, because they are a popular Korean boy group, they have a great aura and are still closely followed by industry media.
At first, there was a lot of excitement when Mou Fan returned to China. Now Lu Han is back again and has joined forces with Coral Entertainment, so naturally the momentum is even greater.
These two are considered to be the most popular among the four Chinese members, and they have performed well in the group.
A handsome and cool guy style!
The other one 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 extremely large.
Of course, these two styles are not popular with boys, especially the latter, who might regard them as "sissy", but fortunately Lu Han does not need to be liked by them, and these boys do not pay him money, so he can do whatever he wants.
However, Wei Yang still explained it to prevent anyone from slandering him.
As for the previous life, in the early days of the Four Returnees, Lu Han was the one who was criticized the most, the other being Huang Zitao.
The latter is easily criticized because he cannot speak, is too impulsive in many things, has no outstanding business abilities or achievements, and relies on his family's wealth to work on his own, but has no resources in the circle, so he naturally encounters obstacles everywhere.
The entertainment industry is about connections and resources. It’s not something you can get into just by having money. Otherwise, it would have been the world of coal bosses and real estate developers long ago.
That is to say, the Internet learned its lesson and became one step ahead in its skills, using platforms to buy at the bottom and various interest bundling, coupled with massive amounts of funds, to both attack and defend, and thus gain a lot of voice in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, it is important to have money in the entertainment industry, but it is not easy to make it in the entertainment industry just by having money.
Otherwise, even if you are Mr. Wang, if you rush in rashly and have no support in the circle, you will be expelled in disgrace at best, or be skinned and eaten and your blood will be drunk at worst.
Huang Zitao has always been regarded as the youngest of the four returning sons, which has a lot to do with the fact that he does not have strong entertainment capital behind him.
Of course, there are gains and losses. After all, although you are not famous enough, at least you are free, which is what others expect. However, in this way, you will face a lot of suppression and attacks, and if you don’t have enough ability, you can only endure it yourself.
What is a little different between Lu Han and him is that Lu Han is a big tree that attracts the wind and is hated by others.
In the early days of his previous life, Lu Han should have been the one with the fastest development, and his momentum was slightly better than Mou Fan. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that he would be targeted by all parties.
Mou Fan is protected by the Beijing circle, so the damage is 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. He had some power, but it was far from enough to withstand these storms.
In addition, Lu Han himself has the image of a pretty boy, and many people actually dislike this kind of effeminate aesthetic. He is also from the Korean wave and is the most popular, with all the buffs stacked up, so naturally he becomes a target.
When it comes to the derogatory stereotypes of the time such as fresh meat, sissy, and pretty boy, Lu Han is always the first to be associated with them.
To be honest, this kind of attack brought Lu Han a lot of exposure and also refined and united his fans.
Everyone in the fan circle knows an operation called [fan abuse], that is, the more attacks the main idol receives, the more united the fans will be. Lu Han's various data are so beautiful, which is deeply related to the fact that he was attacked from all sides and aroused the fans' hatred of the enemy.
But the price he paid was that Lu Han's popularity plummeted, and he became one of the most hated artists on the entire Internet.
After Lu Han made an official announcement, his various resources dropped drastically. On the one hand, fans had conflicts over the relationship, but another important reason was the public’s previous severe collapse of perception of him.
It was not until Lu Han relied on variety shows and his persistence in his relationship that he gradually restored public reputation.
More importantly, the collapse of his competitors and even teammates one after another further highlighted that he was the cleanest traffic artist. His stupid move of officially announcing his relationship at the peak of his career also became a proof of his being a real man.
As a result, Lu Han's popularity among the public continued to rise. The young actor who was most criticized back then turned out to have 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's school, Boss Wei will not sit idly by and watch his cash cow become a target.
It is inevitable that traffic stars will be criticized! But Lu Han must not become a representative and typical example of this, and give up all his popularity among passers-by. This is not recognized by Boss Wei or even Coral Entertainment.
Since its development, Blue Whale has not been without controversial artists. Da Mimi and Guli Nazha have both experienced the wave of black and red, and Xiao Zhao also did not have a smooth journey in the beginning.
It’s controversial, and you can tolerate a lot of black fans, but you must never give up your basic base of passers-by, which is very fatal to an artist.
Moreover, Blue Whale’s most abundant and powerful resources are film and television resources. If an artist’s popularity among the public decreases, it will cause great harm to film and television projects. Therefore, artists from the Blue Whale series always insist on maintaining their base among the public as much as possible.
People like Da Mimi and Nazha also have various operations to whitewash and restore their reputation, which Blue Whale has always attached great importance to.
So Wei Yang personally gave instructions that Lu Han should still focus on being a singer for now, and he would 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 there was no hope for Lu Han’s acting skills, and he probably couldn’t even compare to Nazha, who at least was a professional actor.
Therefore, if he wants to avoid appearing timid, make the best use of the film and television resources allocated to him, and give a brilliant performance, 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 role Lu Han was suitable for.
At present, I am basically leaning towards the direction of teenager, younger brother, and young man.
In this regard, his teammate Zhang Yixing has set a good example. He does not care about the size of the role and just picks the right one. With his popularity, as long as he performs well and gets a good project, he will get good reviews.
So Wei Yang talked to Yang Tianzhen and called Lu Han personally.
Tell him not to be anxious, and to first pick a few roles in suitable projects to show his face, with emphasis on two projects, and perform as well as possible, and the company will build momentum for him later.
Before that, Lu Han had better train his acting skills. When the initial timing is right, the company will tailor a project for him based on his strengths.
This is the biggest confidence of Blue Whale in packaging artists! Why Blue Whale always promotes the right person? It is because the roles will try 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, artists are often forced to take their chances or even be forced to play a certain role.
If the role is suitable, it's fine, but if it's not, it's a lose-lose situation.
If a project fails, you lose money; if an artist fails, the situation can be mild or severe; it may be harmless, but it may also be a complete failure.
So, Lu Han’s first project was to be assigned to "Entertainment Legend", where he played a silly, cute and kind-hearted extra.
The screenwriting department of Blue Whale also received the task and took out a college-themed TV drama script "Go Go Squid!" that had been prepared long ago, and made some modifications to the important characters in the script according to Lu Han's situation.
Wei Yang had written this script a long time ago. He originally wanted to shoot it himself, but due to various delays, it was put aside.
Now that times have changed, it is impossible for Wei Yang to play this kind of group-oriented campus youth drama with his current status.
Originally, Zhang Ruoyun was considered, but later it was discovered that he was more suitable for costume dramas and various idol dramas, and there were many scripts with themes that suited him.
On the contrary, Lu Han has a narrow acting range, but he looks young and has a cheerful personality, so he is quite suitable to play an ordinary college student. Maybe he can even create a CP with him and guide newcomers.
However, Boss Wei still gave some instructions to Yang Tianzhen, asking her to keep an eye on Lu Han.
This guy has a problem with his relationship! Boss Wei doesn't mind his artists dating. It's human nature for men and women to love each other. He himself has several women, so there's no reason to stop them.
But you can have a relationship, but it cannot affect the interests of your boss.
He admitted that it was very manly of Lu Han to officially announce his relationship at the peak of his career. He himself couldn't do that and he admired his courage and determination.

But now that he is his employee, Wei Yang will never allow Lu Han to do such a thing. It might cost the company half of its top stars, and the price is too high.
If Lu Han didn't want to hide it from the outside world, he could also discuss it slowly and solve the problem properly. There was no need to be so uncompromising.
From an emotional point of view, he is a man, but from a business perspective, this is really a stupid move.
Wei Yang is now increasingly becoming a capitalist, and capitalists are cold-blooded and ruthless by nature. Except for himself and a few close people, many of their considerations for the company tend to be based on profit.
If it had been Lu Han's doing this three years ago, Boss Wei would have applauded and strongly supported him.
But now he wanted to prevent such things from happening as much as possible. The little conscience he had left was not going to interfere directly with her feelings, and he was willing to solve the problem in a roundabout way.
"I'm still soft-hearted."
Wei Yang sighed a little. He thought that he was sometimes kind-hearted. Look at the methods used by real capitalists. They were ruthless and smart.
If it is inconvenient for him to take action, he will stay behind the scenes and arrange for a senior executive to come out and break up the couple. After the situation is resolved, he will come out to act as a good guy, "deal with" the senior executive, and then appease him with a few words to win over the hearts of the people.
The matter was resolved perfectly, the bad guy was killed, and he himself was still a good man who stood up for his employees.
This is what a master does! Boss Wei felt that he was still a little 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. When playing this kind of routine of being both a good and a bad person, he was also less calm and frank.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the heart is not cold enough, and the skin is not thick enough.
However, Wei Yang also felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing!
He has everything he needs now and his career is successful enough, so there is no need for him to be too inhuman. It's 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 complete slave to money.
Thinking about it this way, Wei Yang was actually glad that there was a gap between him and those old capitalists. To round it off, he was still a kind and amiable good boss.
Wei Yang thought so, and many crew members of "Operation Mekong" also thought so.
It hasn't been long since Wei Yang left Thailand last time. Wei Yang is still very familiar with Thailand and has quite a few connections. When he is tired of filming, he will also arrange some small benefits for the staff.
He would also go out to relax with several senior executives and core creative staff of the crew.
Of course, these times we went back to formal occasions.
Are you kidding? This movie was produced by the public security department. Even if it was set abroad, Boss Wei would not dare to commit a crime against the law.
It can be said that the movie "Operation Mekong" is the most plain-looking crew Wei Yang has shot since his debut, with almost no actresses.
This made Boss Wei a little uncomfortable.
He has been in the industry for so many years, and life on the crew is actually not boring. He has actresses he is familiar with in every crew.
It's not that he has any ulterior motives, or that something has to happen, but having a girl to shake things up at least makes him less lonely. Just chatting with a bunch of men may be fun for a day or two, but it will become boring after a while.
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 weapons, so there is naturally no shortage of shooting ranges in a place like this.
The last time Wei Yang was filming "Detective Chinatown", he didn't have many fighting scenes, and he had Gao Yuanyuan and some clubs to relieve his boredom, so he naturally didn't pay attention to these things.
There were many gun battle scenes in the filming of "Operation Mekong". Wei Yang had done training in China and wanted to practice after coming abroad, and then he discovered paradise.
In fact, there are live-fire shooting venues in the country, and some related businesses and high-end clubs can apply for them.
Wei Yang once was a member of a shooting range in China, but there were too many restrictions in the country and his identity was sensitive, so Wei Yang couldn't help but feel restrained.
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 seemed to have a military background. It even had mortars and old armored vehicles, as well as light machine guns and heavy machine guns. As long as you can afford the bullets, you can use them.
This is the best way to play! As a man, how many people don't like to play with guns and cannons? The country is also strictly controlled. Now, it seems that eunuchs have grown roots and met peerless beauties. There are also wealthy people who pay for the bills, and they all have a great time.
Even director Dante Lam and the producer turned a blind eye and later even joined in on the action.
Therefore, every time Boss Wei went to the shooting range, in addition to his bodyguards, there were at least a dozen crew members, and as many as a reinforced platoon. They fired bullets like crazy, and the bullets they fired in a few weeks could wipe out all the Japanese in Hengdian for half a year.
The crew even jokingly formed a team based on the members' places of origin, and named it the [Shandong, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Sichuan... The Allied Forces of 26 Provinces and Cities Going to Thailand].
Wei Yang, who contributed money and manpower, served as the commander-in-chief and political commissar, commanding 26 columns with a total force of nearly 150 people. He was considered a small warlord in Southeast Asia...
