Chapter 345 Coral Entertainment Is Established, and the Running Man Is Selected
"Coral Entertainment was officially established, and artists such as Tang Yan, Lou Yixiao, and Wang Kai officially announced their joining"
"Wei Yang's new capable general, Yang Tianzhen behind Master Fan"
"Layout of artist management territory, Wei Yang's entertainment kingdom"
"Yang Mi Studio x Coral Entertainment's major cooperation, the person in charge of Meiya: It is not convenient to disclose"
"An insider broke the news that Liu Shishi wanted to leave Tangren, and the three beauties of Sword and Sword gathered at Coral Entertainment? 》
"..."
After the Spring Festival, before the popularity of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" dropped, a big news broke out in the entertainment industry.
Yang Tianzhen, vice president of Fan Xiaopang Studio, officially announced the establishment of Coral Entertainment and announced a number of contracted artists.
These include Xiaosheng [Wang Kai] who became famous for "Shanshan Is Here", core creator of "Love Apartment" [Louis Yixiao], well-known veteran actor [Liu Lin], singer [Huang Ling] [Xue Zhiqian], comedian [Sha Yi]……
Of course, the most important one is the joining of Tang Yan, one of the most popular little girls today, and the announcement of cooperation with Yang Mi Studio.
Damimi is still an artist of Meiya, but she has reached a cooperation with Coral Entertainment in the name of the studio, even on a semi-affiliated basis.
Normally, this situation is definitely not allowed, but Meiya didn't say anything, which showed that an agreement had been reached.
After winning two popular actresses, Da Mi Mi and Tang Yan, Coral Entertainment became famous in one fell swoop, and their backgrounds immediately began to be revealed.
Due to various subsequent cooperations, it was impossible to hide it from others, and Wei Yang had no intention of hiding it, and was easily picked out of the shareholding structure by the outside world.
Except for Yang Tianzhen’s personal shareholding, the boss behind the other three companies holding shares in Coral Entertainment is Wei Yang.
This incident did not go beyond everyone's expectations. This group of artists are basically close to Wei Yang. To bring this group of people together, and even have Tang and Mi in charge, only Boss Wei can do it.
Compared with Blue Whale Company, Coral Entertainment is an artist manager and follows the marketing traffic route, so it works in a relatively high-profile manner.
At the company's press conference, Yang Tianzhen, CEO and chief manager of Coral Entertainment, revealed a lot of shocking news.
These materials may be true or false.
Some of them were kept pressed by Blue Whale, just waiting to build momentum for Yang Tianzhen.
Some are uncertain, or even false news, and can be blown out first, as long as the news is not said to death.
This situation is very common in the entertainment industry. The most basic thing is the mystery of casting. Setting a project and "pulling" a bunch of stars is very popular, but in the end most of them are unfortunately missed.
Wei Yang seeks stability, and the company focuses on film and television production. Therefore, apart from daily publicity, many of Blue Whale's development policies are not disclosed to the public.
Yang Tianzhen started out as a publicist. He has developed a lot as an artist and the principle of confidentiality is not involved, so he went big.
"Our company will launch a series of artist + production projects with Blue Whale and Jade Shrimp, including many key IPs..."
The fat Yang Tianzhen took the microphone and talked to the audience: "Tang Yan, for example, will participate in "Why Shengxiaomo" next, Yang Mi will star in "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Wang Kai and Yi Xiao are both in in………"
"In addition, we also plan to develop "Zhu Xian" with Yang Mi, and "The Legend of the Pearl of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty" with Tang Yan..."
"Currently, the Chinese version of "Run" is in the process of discussing personnel. We are also actively contacting the producers and have made some breakthroughs..."
"We have also reached strategic cooperation with many companies such as Blue Whale, Guangguang, Tangren, Orange Sky, Galloping Pony, Keton Media, Tianyu, etc..."
If Wei Yang were here, he would give Yang Tianzhen a thumbs up. This is so classy.
Seven truths and three lies, even if it fails later, there are enough excuses to smooth things over.
It is true that Tang and Mi participated in "Why is the Shengxiao Silent" and "The Legend of Ancient Swords"? Needless to say more about the former, but the latter is all about selling money to Mi Mi.
"Zhu Xian" is more nonsense. The copyright of this book belongs to Huanruina.
The reason why she got involved with Damimi was not because of Wei Yang, but because Huanrui used this project to win her over, claiming that once Damimi passed, she would be the producer of "Zhu Xian" + Baguio.
This is true. Damimi almost played Baguio in her previous life.
However, due to various reasons in the later period, the two parties eventually parted ways. As a result, when Huan Rui was filming "Qing Yun Zhi", Baguio asked Xiao Zhao, who had a lot of traffic at the time, to come to the rescue.
As for "The Legend of the Pearl of the Tang Dynasty", it is actually "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty". The copyright of the book belongs to Wei Yang, who also adapted the script. However, the project was approved early and Tang Yan was not decided. Yang Tianzhen then made nonsense.
If "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" hadn't already been decided, Wei Yang even suspected that Yang Tianzhen also assigned the show to artists from Coral Entertainment.
And "Run" is not lying. The original running men's team has basically confirmed Xue Zhiqian and Sha Yi.
This is also the reason why Coral Entertainment signed two people.
Xue Zhiqian is very easy to sign. Let's not talk about his old friendship with Wei Yang. As far as his career is concerned, he has been working alone, and Wei Yang has given him a hand.
Previously, he had a falling out with his old club, Shangteng Entertainment, and was kept in the dark for several years. His career was not as good as before. The contract was terminated just last year, and he was recruited by Wei Yang not long after.
This guy only wants to make music, and the requirement for joining the new company is that he must produce an album, and he must have musical autonomy.
Apart from that, everything else was arranged by Wei Yang. To put it bluntly, the friendship between the two and Wei Yang's status was here, so there was no need to trick him into being a has-been singer.
Sha Yi is even simpler. This guy is in an awkward situation now. He has a first-class national popularity, but he doesn't have many film contracts. He wants to squeeze into the path of serious dramas, but people treat him as a comedian.
The Sun Ce in "The New Three Kingdoms" and Xiao He in "The Banquet of the King" worked hard to act, but the audience either played memes or didn't remember them.
Instead of hanging around in some low-cost dramas, it is better to join Wei Yang, change the track, and enter the field of variety shows.
Xue and Sha are both well-known variety show players later. They are quick to react, full of laughs, and good at playing memes and shaking baggage. They also have enough audience appeal.
Add Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang who have already been selected, and Chen Chichi who Wei Yang decided to keep after thinking about it, and Rouba who has had wonderful variety show performances, and the Running Man team is basically formed.
The rest only needs 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 it has to be considered again.
However, with the previous few people, there is no need to worry about the variety show effect, as long as you find someone who is not bad.
"Run" is true, and the subsequent strategic cooperation in 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 entering the casting range of major companies. It sounds very powerful, but it is actually not very useful.
Take Blue Whale as an example. The company's candidate list has at least hundreds of actors, and at the critical moment, it still depends on its own people.
So this strategic cooperation has been truly achieved and is considered to be one of its own. In fact, only Blue Whale is the only one.
There are also a few other companies that are allies of Wei Yang, such as Tangren and Guangguang, which will be included in the priority list for casting.
However, this is not completely nonsense. With the support of Wei Yang, Coral Entertainment can also enter this network of relationships 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 not controlled by 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 its own artists will have a better reputation.
As for those traffic artists who make money but have mediocre reputation, it is all the fault of Coral Entertainment. They eat the bonus of traffic and make money from the fan circle. It is all the idea of Yang Tianzhen, the marketing king. Wei Yang is just an ordinary major shareholder.
This trick is not smart, and Wei Yang did not think that he could really stay out of trouble. As long as there is someone to bear most of the firepower for him, it is enough...
…
Yang Tianzhen is blowing the horn, and the media is taking notes below. They are all knowledgeable and of course know that there is water in it.
But what does it have to do with them? The media only needs traffic and popularity. The things are all said by Yang Tianzhen. There is no need to consider whether it is true or not. They hope that the more they blow, the better.
And Coral Entertainment has unexpectedly been on Weibo Hot Search and has been firmly on the list.
That's right, after the Spring Festival, Weibo Hot Search was officially launched, one or two years earlier than the original time and space. Naturally, there is a proposal from Boss Wei.
And "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and Coral Entertainment have also become the first batch of experiencers of Weibo Hot Search.
Yang Tianzhen's personal Weibo gained millions of followers in just a few days, catching up with ordinary stars.
Putting aside the establishment of Coral Entertainment, many people are more concerned about the information Yang Tianzhen revealed 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-level Korean variety show, and even many die-hard fans of the Korean version of Running Man boycotted it and asked not to make a domestic version.
Wei Yang didn't quite understand what these people were thinking. If you like to watch the Korean version, you like to watch the Korean version. What does it have to do with you to make a domestic version.
Later, I thought about it and it was understandable. Just like when "My Love from the Star" was filmed in the Korean version, there were also many drama fans and his fans who stopped it. It felt like something they liked was being ruined.
But understanding is understanding, but such a large-scale project, and even the subsequent revenue may involve billions of dollars, is not something that can be abandoned by a group of fans boycotting.
Not to mention that Wei Yang disagreed, even the Korean side disagreed. Wei Yang gave a lot of licensing fees.
And to put it bluntly, most of the so-called Chinese die-hard Korean variety fans watch variety shows through pirated channels.
It's fine if you don't spend money, but you don't let others make money. There's no reason for them to make money...
Amid the boycott, Blue Whale also announced the news of purchasing the copyright to produce "Running Man", and the cooperation unit was officially Shanghai TV, which has the best relationship with Wei Yang.
Zhejiang TV was not as sincere as Shanghai TV in terms of conditions, so Wei Yang passed.
For publicity considerations, Blue Whale did not announce the seven-member group that had basically been decided, and the outside world was also disturbed and speculated.
Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang, Tang Yan, and Yang Mi are all among them, and there are some more promising variety show stars, such as Teacher He, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Xie Na and others.
Especially Huang Bo, even Wei Yang didn't expect that the popularity would be so high. On the one hand, it is a high emotional intelligence character, and on the other hand, it is the addition of two 1 billion+ movies.
