Chapter 559: Deputy Director Zhao's Promotion and "Go Fighting"



Overnight, Liu Yan's bridesmaid incident came to an end.

Many celebrities, led by Liu Shishi, expressed their support for Liu Yan, shattering the claim that Liu Yan had offended half of the entertainment industry and would have no place to stand in the future.

And combined with the general situation, the Shuangbao couple apologized, some of the best men such as Fatty Du admitted their mistakes, and Young Master Wang gave in.

Although Han Geng and Du Chun pretended to be dead and did not respond even when netizens blocked their doors and mocked them, judging from public opinion and results, it was indeed a rare and huge victory.

Especially netizens, as the main force of this event, they should be proud of it.

The stars who voiced their support were also regarded as "comrades-in-arms" by them, and their favorability ratings increased rapidly. The popularity and reputation of many stars have made great progress.

Among them, Jia Ling, who saved people, and Liu Shishi, who spoke first, stood out the most.

Especially Liu Shishi, not only does she have fame and influence, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was she who took the lead in taking sides, which attracted the Blue Whale series and neutral stars to come out and support her, so she can be said to be the main contributor this time.

Therefore, Liu Shishi was praised to the sky by netizens and gained a lot of fans, who called her "the timely rain in the entertainment industry."

That is because she is a woman, otherwise someone might call her brother and bow down to her...

Liu Shishi was in the spotlight, which made Zhao Liying feel a little jealous.

I swear to God, Liu Shishi and Liu Yan are quite close friends after all, and she really has not dealt with her very often.

The relationship is shallow, and the entertainment industry is full of gossip. Zhao Liying is a person who values ​​her career, so she will naturally not act rashly.

Then he watched as Liu Shishi, with the support of Boss Wei, gained a lot of support.

At this point, it was too late for Zhao Liying to help.

However, even so, Zhao Liying still expressed her support on Weibo @刘妍. She did not ignore Liu Yan because of her personal grudge with Liu Shishi, nor did she choose to remain silent and sing a different tune when everyone in the Blue Whale Department was united.

You know, even with Wei Yang's tacit approval, there were still a small number of artists who were closer to Zhao Liying who adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

It’s not that Boss Wei doesn’t have enough prestige, but that his statement is too ambiguous, so it seems more like Liu Shishi took the lead in this matter, and he only expressed support for Liu Shishi.

That makes sense.

If it was Boss Wei who spoke, everyone would definitely follow suit, but he did not make a formal statement, and the leader was Liu Shishi. If they rashly took sides, it would easily offend Zhao Liying.

When gods fight, the fish in the pond suffer, so it is normal to be cautious. At worst, it will be a little late.

Fortunately, Zhao Liying still has a broad mind and did not let down at the critical moment, which also allowed her and her group to participate.

This also earned Zhao Liying praise from many people, who felt that she was putting the overall situation first. However, compared to the online praise that Liu Shishi received, it can only be said that it was better than nothing.

Zhao Liying now really wants to have a friend who suffers a little loss, and then she can show off her female power and act like Mengchang.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the luck to get that reputation, so she could only do something practical.

Magic City, Blue Whale Building Zhao Liying brought a cup of coffee to Yang Tianzhen, and looked at this woman who was entrusted with an important task by Wei Yang, and went straight to the point.

"Boss Yang, this time we need to work together."

To date, Yang Tianzhen is considered one of the most well-known agents in the industry. He has many top-tier and popular artists under his command. He is also the head and shareholder of the entertainment upstart company Coral Entertainment. In the eyes of some ordinary artists, he is considered a big shot.

But facing Zhao Liying, who is much thinner than her, Yang Tianzhen still dare not neglect her and even feels a little pressured.

"Mr. Zhao, please give your orders."

Mr. Zhao, that’s right, Zhao Liying was promoted again after the great success of “Strategy of the Ming Palace”.

His main job is still Deputy Director of the Television Department, but he has also taken on a part-time job as Deputy Artistic Director of Blue Whale Entertainment.

This position is a newly created one. Previously, Blue Whale had only one artistic director, Liu Junjie, the first director of Blue Whale, the benefactor of Boss Wei, and the director of the Zhenhua Trilogy.

As mentioned before, Liu Junjie is a veteran of Blue Whale and was very kind to Wei Yang. He has been in Blue Whale for many years, working diligently and producing many excellent works.

Liu has extensive experience, great contributions and high prestige, but he is not very suitable for and has no interest in administrative work.

So, Boss Wei arranged a position of art director for him.

This position is more like a nominal position. It is a high-ranking position and nominally has a wide management scope, but it does not carry any power.

It is almost equivalent to the company's vice president. In theory, he can guide, supervise, and even interfere to a certain extent in the work of related business departments such as the TV department, film department, variety show department, and advertising department.

But in fact, Liu Junjie has never fulfilled his relevant responsibilities. All business departments are powerful departments and may not be willing to pay attention to this "mother-in-law".

Therefore, Liu's title of art director is just a nice title and a respected position. If we really want to find an art director with real power, it should actually be Boss Wei.

He has basically done all the work of an art director, and it is his main job content at Blue Whale, but he is ignored because of his position as the boss.

This time, Zhao Liying was promoted to deputy artistic director, which not only improved her rank, but also greatly expanded her actual power.

Just because Liu Junjie doesn't want to be power-hungry doesn't mean Zhao Liying is willing to be a mascot.

She applied for this position because she wanted to further expand her power and voice in the company. Boss Wei gave her a position of deputy art director because he also wanted her to do something.

Zhao Liying cannot provide guidance on most business matters, but supervision is no problem.

Blue Whale is now a large company, and with more people, the water becomes deeper. Wei Yang needs someone he truly trusts to watch over him in the company.

Wei Yang has no shortage of confidants, but Zhao Liying has a special status after all, so she is very suitable to be a spokesperson and a signboard. Supervision is only one aspect, and more importantly, it serves as a deterrent.

Just because I'm not here doesn't mean I don't know, so everyone be quiet.

After Deputy Minister Zhao took on the role of deputy director, his title was changed from Minister Zhao to Director Zhao, which was later simplified to General Manager Zhao for a better-sounding title.

Although Mr. Zhao's scope of authority has been expanded and he has considerable prestige within the company, he did not act rashly and steal business from other senior executives.

In addition to focusing on its own regulatory work, it plans to start a new project and use roundabout strategies to gradually reach out to several powerful departments.

So, this time Zhao Liying did not shoot a TV series, but instead got a variety show from Wei Yang and transformed herself into a variety show producer.

The variety show is called "Extreme Challenge". Boss Wei acquired the copyright from South Korea a few years ago. It is said that Shanghai Satellite TV wanted to buy it but refused.

Strictly speaking, in this variety show, Zhao Liying is kind of picking peaches, because the original team has basically completed the preliminary preparations, and she is an airborne leader.

But Zhao Liying quickly suppressed the noisy voices within the "Extreme Challenge" program team.

Because of her high position, the resources she can mobilize and the voice in the company are much stronger than the original producer.

After showing off a few skills, mobilizing some resources, negotiating with other program groups and departments several times to gain the upper hand, and securing a heavy-duty advertising placement, Zhao Liying successfully gained a foothold in the "Go Fighting" program group.

After that, she took the lead in a key task, negotiating with several regular guests of "Extreme Challenge".

"Can we let Zhang Ruoyun and Lu Han join our show?"

"this……"

Yang Tianzhen knew from the beginning that today was not a good banquet, but she did not expect Zhao Liying to have such a big appetite and wanted to catch her two top stars in one fell swoop.

Just kidding, Lu Han and Zhang Ruoyun are the most popular young actors nowadays. If we can get them both, we won’t have to worry about the attention for the variety show.

But there was no way Yang Tianzhen would agree to this request.

As a top star, he has specific plans for participating in variety shows, especially reality shows, and he can't just participate whenever he wants.

The schedule is the simplest thing. There are many things to consider, such as tone, lineup, exposure, product placement and endorsement conflicts, etc. Some top stars have participated in variety shows at high prices, but the contracts of the programs also stipulate that they cannot participate in related variety shows within a certain period of time to prevent diversion.

And there is another point here, that is, when two top stars participate in a variety show, there are even more tricks involved.

The relationship between Coral Entertainment and the show is already somewhat ambiguous. If they continue to cause trouble on "Go Fighting" or get influenced by it, it will be a lot of fun.

"Boss Zhao, this is really not possible. It's not that I don't give you face, but we are just not destined to be together. Ruoyun has a play in the future and has also taken on a wilderness survival variety show. Lu Han has already contacted "Running Man". The styles of these two variety shows are too similar..."

Yang Tianzhen kept explaining, but Zhao Liying didn't comment. She only believed half of what Yang Tianzhen said.

No matter how busy Zhang Ruoyun is, she can always take a few days off every once in a while to record the fragmented style of "Go Fighting".

Although Lu Han is close to "Running Man", it has not been confirmed yet. It may not be impossible for him to cooperate with "Go Fighting". Besides, these are projects of the same company and there is no ban on competing products. It is not impossible for Lu Han to participate in both programs.

To put it bluntly, these are all difficulties that can be overcome, but Yang Tianzhen just doesn't want to get too close to her and is too lazy to put in the effort to help her.

This is also normal. Don't forget that Yang Tianzhen was close to Fan Xiaopang back then, and they had a very good relationship.

At the same time, the two mainstays of Coral Entertainment at the beginning were Tang Yan and Da Mimi, both of whom had a certain personal relationship with Yang Tianzhen, especially Tang Yan, who is still the number one star of Coral, and Yang is her agent.

So in any sense, Yang Tianzhen and Zhao Liying are not the same kind of people. She doesn't dare to add insult to injury, but she also has no intention of helping her with all her strength.

Zhao Liying talked to her for a long time, and Yang Tianzhen was very humble and spoke in a thoughtful manner, but she just wouldn't give in.

"I still don't believe that without you, the butcher, I won't be able to eat hairy pigs."

After seeing Yang Tianzhen off, Zhao Liying returned to the office. The smile on her face disappeared. She angrily said something harsh and then called her secretary.

"Send the relevant artist information, and ask Director Yan and the others to come over for a meeting."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest look and another greasy fat man came in. They were Yan Min, the director of "Go Fighting", and another producer, Lao Han.

"The talks with Coral didn't go well. We have to think of other candidates."

Yan Min was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Liying to fail. In his impression, Coral Entertainment and Blue Whale were one family, they should be able to succeed.

"It's a bit complicated. It's my fault, but those two are really busy too."

Zhao Liying explained that she still attached great importance to Yan Min, who was hired by Boss Wei from Shanghai Satellite TV himself. She had some unpleasantness with them over this, but they were not reconciled until Wei Yang agreed to broadcast "Extreme Challenge" on Shanghai Satellite TV.

Yan Min holds a high position in Boss Wei's organization.

I heard that it took two years to recruit the talent, and "Go Fighting" was originally scheduled to be broadcast last year, but it has been delayed until now. The project has not been moved just to wait for Yan Min.

Zhao Liying suddenly joined the "Go Fighting" program crew. Wei Yang didn't say much else, but he specifically mentioned Yan Min.

That's why Zhao Liying revealed her shortcomings and talked about the inside story.

The latter sentence was not an attempt to save face. Zhang Helu was indeed very busy.

Moreover, Zhang Ruoyun focuses on film and television, and variety shows are just icing on the cake. Lu Han has "Running Man" in his hands, so they really have enough reasons not to participate in "Go Fighting".

This is also the reason why Yang Tianzhen rejected Zhao Liying.

Otherwise, because of personal grudges, it affects the company's projects and artists. If Zhao Liying makes a small report to Boss Wei, she will be in big trouble.

In fact, Yang Tianzhen still recommended two people to Zhao Liying - Wang Kai and Li Xian, both artists of Coral Entertainment.

However, Zhao Liying knows both of them and has even worked with them before, so there is no need for Yang Tianzhen to recommend them.

What she wants is a top star to increase the popularity of the show. Li Xian is not qualified, but Wang Kai is famous enough, but lacks topicality, and his personality is not suitable for "Go Fighting", so he can only be included in the waiting list.

"Actually, I do have a choice."

Just when Zhao Liying was worried, Lao Han stood up and started talking.

"In fact, I was more optimistic about him at the beginning, but later Mr. Zhao said that he wanted to use the two people from Coral Entertainment, so naturally he would give priority to his own people."

"Now that the situation has changed and Zhang and Lu are no longer useful, we might as well try this alternative."

Yan Min was too lazy to listen to his suspense: "Just tell me who it is."

"Lu Han's Chinese teammates."

"Dangdang? He can't."

The first person Yan Min thought of was the Canadian who was currently at the peak of his popularity. He shook his head repeatedly. This person did not fit his idea of ​​a guest at all, and Zhao Liying also disagreed.

"No, he's from the Beijing circle, and Mr. Wei doesn't like him."

There was no other reason. This one sentence sealed the end of Tantan's future in the Blue Whale project.

"Not him, I'm talking about Zhang Yixing, the well-behaved kid from Hunan Province."

Zhao Liying and Yan Min didn’t pay much attention to idols, and didn’t know much about the candidate, so they specifically looked up some information.

Yan Min made some analysis and said, "You can call him over to have a chat."

Zhao Liying is more concerned about another aspect: "I think he is still in the Korean company, can I take this opportunity to win the agency rights over?"

She is not Yan Min, who only cares about whether the person is suitable or not. Compared to suitability, whether the person is one of her own is also crucial.

It is one achievement if the show becomes popular, and it is another achievement if the show makes one of its own artists famous.

Zhao Liying saw potential and benefits in Zhang Yixing. At the same time, Yang Tianzhen's behavior this time made her a little upset, and it made her intend to cultivate one or two traffic stars to avoid being controlled by others in the future.
