Chapter 728 "The Purple Star from Heaven" and the Fourth Concubine

The entertainment industry's hot topics throughout July revolved around three men, one woman and two anime characters.

Xiao and Wang from The Untamed

"Dear, Beloved" Li Xian and Gulinaza
There are also Nezha and Ao Bing from "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", especially Ao Bing, who is extremely popular. As a cartoon character, he surpassed Wang Yibo and ranked among the top three in the relevant lists of male artists for several consecutive days.

In the competition for the first place, Xiao Zhan and Li Xian, two new top stars, also engaged in a fierce fight.

Thanks to the bonus of Danmei CP and the residual momentum of "The Untamed", Xiao Zhan achieved good results in the early stage.

But when the reputation of "Dear, Beloved" began to ferment and gain momentum, Li Xian, who already had a greater reputation and more fans, gradually took control of the situation, and in the later period he even steadily dominated the charts.

Xiao Zhan’s fans were very dissatisfied and thought that Li Xian was taking advantage of his seniority and bullying newcomers.

It turned out later that they were the same age, both born in 1991, and both had birthdays in October, Xiao Zhan's at the beginning of the month and Li Xian's at the end of the middle of the month. The former is actually half a month older than the latter.

Of course, in the entertainment industry, age is not the only thing that matters; the time of debut and the time of becoming famous are the key.

Especially the latter, some people have just become popular after ten years of debut, and in a sense they are still "newcomers", while others have debuted for two years and have been popular for two years, and they are still "seniors".

But no matter what, it is really not right to use seniority as a topic for people of the same age.

Who knows, as you keep cursing, you might end up being mocked by others, saying that you have been working for so many years to finally succeed, but you are just an "old waste" and so on.

So Xiao’s fans later started to bring up background issues, saying that Li Xian relied on Coral Capital to suppress Xiao Zhan. Some even went so far as to spread obscene rumors, saying that Yang Tianzhen had unspoken rules.

This situation is very common in fan circles. Top male stars such as Zhang Ruoyun and Lu Han have all been subject to these rubbish rumors.

Many people like to make some sexual attacks, saying that when a female star becomes famous, it’s because she has slept with a handsome male star, and when a male star becomes famous, it’s because he has slept with a female star.

What made Boss Wei feel a little comforted was that Yang Tianzhen blocked a lot of fire for him, and no one spread rumors that these Blue Whale male artists were "ruined" by Boss Wei.

Now these fans of Xiao are making all kinds of conspiracy theories, but they don’t realize that one day, they will also be bitten back.

No matter what, Yang Tianzhen is still single and a female boss in the entertainment industry. Apart from being a little fat, she is also an outstanding woman.

In the previous life, the "financial sponsor" that Xiao later spread was much more outrageous...

There are too many fans who curse the Blue Whale artists!
Fans of artists like Liu Tianxian, Shuangzijie, and Tantan have suffered a lot from Blue Whale artists, and their fans dream of seeing Boss Wei die.

However, for artists like Xiao who have just become popular and are on the rise, there are very few who have fans who provoke Coral Entertainment or even Blue Whale bosses like Yang Tianzhen shortly after becoming popular.

Even if fans start cursing to "stand up for justice", the agents, team and big fans will control it.

On the one hand, they don't want and dare not easily provoke this giant in the entertainment industry. On the other hand, they are also thinking that there might be a chance to curry favor with him. If they offend him, they will block the door to cooperation.

In the entertainment industry, it’s all about personal connections. It’s rare for someone to hang themselves on one tree, so you have to be kind to others at all times.

Although Xiao Zhan's team did not incite or encourage the fans, they also did not impose any restrictions or reminders on the fans, allowing them to do as they please.

This approach, not to mention cutting oneself off from the Blue Whale system, will also increase the difficulty of cooperation out of thin air.

In the future, even if some producers or directors of Blue Whale want to use him, they will be cautious after knowing this to avoid causing trouble.

Many passers-by who are familiar with the entertainment industry expressed their confusion. This guy and his team are so popular that they would make such a low-level mistake.

But soon, insiders and marketing accounts who knew the inside story revealed the truth.

This is Xiao Zhan's token of allegiance!
It has already reached a cooperative relationship with the penguin, and is following the penguin, eager to fire at the blue whale to show its loyalty.

Some people questioned that the gap between penguins and blue whales is too big, and Xiao is just picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons, but some people think that this is where Xiao’s smartest point is.

It is definitely best to develop in Blue Whale, but the key is that Blue Whale is not short of Xiao.

Zhang Ruoyun, Lu Han, Li Xian, Zhang Binbin, Mao Zijun, Blue Whale can easily attract a large number of popular new generation male stars. If that doesn’t work, there are a large group of male stars outside who are eager to work with Blue Whale.

Xiao Zhan simply can't make it, so he might as well join Penguin. With the popularity of "The Untamed", Penguin will provide a lot of resource support.

Not only Xiao Zhan made this choice, but Wang Yibo from Lehua also chose to cooperate with Penguin.

However, his bond with Xiao is not as deep as it is. It is just normal cooperation, and he is not arrogant enough to show his loyalty through Blue Whale. On the contrary, it is said that he has a good relationship with Fan Chengcheng, a national uncle of the same company.

At the same time, Wang Yibao was also flirting with the Alibaba Group. It was said that he was preparing to participate in a variety show on Youku and was negotiating a web drama on iQiyi.

This model is the common way of playing in the entertainment industry!

In this way, artists may not receive full support from a certain platform, but it also means that they can cooperate with any platform, and there are more options and development space.

Both paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. The specific development depends on personal ability and opportunities.

Xiao Zhan was not wrong to choose the penguin, it was even the right idea. His mistake was to provoke the blue whale. Before he could accomplish anything, he cut off one of the retreat routes.

If the cooperation with the penguin doesn’t go well in the future, Blue Whale can forget about it.

IQiyi, Youku and other companies may give him a chance, or they may be concerned about his failure at Penguin and the power of Blue Whale. The outcome can be imagined.

Xiao Zhan is now in high spirits, his fans are delighted, and Blue Whale is watching coldly.

It is now in line with the trend, with Penguin supporting and protecting it. Blue Whale will not retaliate wildly over a small friction, as if it is petty and intolerant.

But Xiao Zhan had better ensure that everything goes smoothly for him, in case he encounters headwinds.

What blue whales are best at is kicking someone when they’re down!
Of course, Yang Tianzhen, the person involved, is not so Buddhist, she still did something.

Maybe it's because he has been with Boss Wei for a long time, or maybe it's just his nature, but Yang Tianzhen is petty and mean.

So, she remained calm on the surface, but secretly arranged for her internet trolls to infiltrate Xiao's fan group, silently fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire.

Among those in the entertainment industry who have contact with fan circles, Yang Tianzhen doesn’t dare to say that she is the best, but she is definitely one of the experts.

For newcomers like these who have just emerged, the fan stickiness is the strongest. You cannot suppress them. The more you suppress them, the more the fans will stand with their idols, and the stronger the cohesion will be.

Later, there was a term in the fan circle called "fan abuse".

That is, the star team will deliberately play the victim to make fans feel sorry for their idols and purify the fans, that is, to enhance cohesion and create and retain loyal fans.

This word may not have come out yet, but the meaning is the same. Yang Tianzhen has a bunch of top stars under him, so how could he not understand this truth?

So at this time we cannot suppress it, but we must support it!

They praise them to the sky, to the point that these fans and even the artists themselves feel that Zhang Ruoyun and Lu Han are trash, Hu Ge and Qiao Zhenyu are just so-so, Wei Yang is a little better but that's all, and our brother/I am the best in the world, a purple star sent from heaven, a saint of the time.

Well, at this point, there is nothing to do and just wait for one of the fans or the artist to blow themselves up...

...

"You are really vicious."

In the Coral Entertainment office, Tang Yan silently complained after listening to Yang Tianzhen's anonymous and changed voice explaining how the water army does things.

Yang Tianzhen was very calm: "Who asked him to provoke me first? In the entertainment industry, he just wants to take advantage without paying any price. There are not so many good things. Even if there are, it won't be his turn."

The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune. There are positive things, but there are more petty intrigues hidden underneath.

Being an artist manager exposes you to much more dark sides than people in the normal film and television industry. In recent years, the artists of Coral Entertainment have become popular one after another, and they have almost dominated half of the entertainment industry. Even with the support of the Blue Whale Group, the confrontation and filth behind it are hard for many people to imagine.

As the first person in charge of Coral Entertainment, Yang Tianzhen not only experienced a lot of dirty things, but also used many cruel and shady methods himself.

Even when she targeted Xiao Zhan, petty revenge was only one of the reasons. The fundamental reason was that his rise might affect the status of the top male stars in Coral Entertainment.

Don't say that Xiao Zhanxian was provoking her. He was just an innocent, kind and handsome boy. He praised Yang Tianzhen as a fairy, so she would not be soft-hearted when she had to take action.

At most, after dealing with the other party, we can find an opportunity to sign the other party into Coral Entertainment and make some compensation.

In fact, Yang Tianzhen likes this situation the most. The one who teases first will be the cheapest. He will feel confident in any way he does, and he will not feel any guilt no matter how miserable the other party is.

"So, after getting to know each other, have your filter for the broker industry been shattered? Are you planning to quit?"

Yang Tianzhen pressed a deep dent in the soft sofa in the office and teased Tang Yan.

As mentioned earlier, Tang Yan is the number one sister of Coral. The two have been working together since the company was founded and have a very good relationship.

Yang Tianzhen, who has always been known for her eloquence, once ran away in panic when asked by a reporter. The reporter asked her who her favorite artist was, Fan Xiaopang or Tang Yan, and Yang Tianzhen didn't know how to answer.

Fan Xiaopang is Yang's benefactor and old boss, and the two have a very good personal relationship.

The fact that Tang Yan was able to stump Yang on this question, even though he had to consider many factors such as her status as the company's top female employee and her emotional intelligence, shows her status in his heart.

It was Boss Wei who suggested that Tang Yan become an agent, but Yang Tianzhen's support was behind her determination and real progress.

It can even be said that in this matter, apart from Boss Wei, the person Tang Yan trusts the most is Yang Tianzhen, while Da Mimi, Liu Shishi and others have to rank behind her.

"You misunderstood. I never have a filter for my agent."

Tang Yan retorted that of course she knew this job was not that simple, but she did not rely entirely on it for a living, and with Wei Yang's support, she was fundamentally different from a normal agent.

Yang Tianzhen of course understood Tang Yan's thoughts, and said sourly: "It's good to have a backer."

Tang Yan was not ashamed, but proud of it: "You are just lucky. If I had changed my career a few years earlier, I would have been the CEO of Coral Entertainment."

"That's fine, let's switch, you be the CEO and I'll be the fourth concubine."

Yang Tianzhen said this quietly, and Tang Yan almost broke down: "How many times have I told you not to call me Fourth Concubine?"

"If not the Fourth Concubine, what else should I call her? Concubine Tang or Concubine Tang. Isn't Concubine Tang a bit low?"

Yang Tianzhen laughed out loud. The fourth concubine was a private joke between her, Tang Yan and Da Mimi.

Liu Shishi is the principal wife, and Fan Xiaopang is also included as Yang Laodong. It is not clear who is older and who is younger. Later, Da Mimi is the third concubine, Tang Yan is the fourth concubine, and Zhao Liying and the two beauties of Xinjiang province are directly ignored.

Every time Da Mimi and Tang Yan quarreled or played with Yang Tianzhen or showed off Boss Wei, Yang Tianzhen would fight back.

Da Mimi accepts this name well, but Tang Yan can't help it every time.

However, Yang Tianzhen still hasn’t figured out Tang Yan’s weak spot.

Is this a derogatory term for the Fourth Concubine?
Are you still not satisfied with the ranking of four, and not convinced that Da Mimi is the third concubine?

After laughing and joking for a while, the two got down to business. The recording of "Me and My Agent" has already started.

Both Yang Tianzhen and Tang Yan are involved and are the core selling points of the show. The entire program revolves around the two main lines of Yang Tianzhen coordinating the overall management of the company and Tang Yan's transformation into an agent, combined with other branch lines such as Coral artists and agents.

At present, the program has recorded two episodes, which will be broadcast in August, and is now planning the recording of the third episode.

In the original plan, Tang Yan had found a suitable material, which was to act as an agent to recruit a popular young actress with a bright future for herself and the company.

But now, there have been some changes in the original plan, and the recruitment is likely to fail.

"Song Zuer, are you sure there is something wrong?"

Yang Tianzhen was a little unhappy. It was a done deal, the artist's new team had been set up, relevant resources were being contacted and negotiated, and the operations team had prepared posters and promotional copy, but the artist didn't show up.

Tang Yan’s face didn’t look good either!
She was the one who strongly recommended this person, and regarded him as the future flag bearer of the 95 flowers, and invested a lot of energy in him.

Song Zuer was able to join the crew of "Snow Swordsman" and play the female lead Jiang Ni. Although the decision-making power lay with the director and producer, she was also the middleman.

In addition, in order to sign people, Tang Yan had to negotiate with her team and the original company a lot. After half a year of hard work, it was all in vain. You can imagine how she felt.

Really, she would rather the other party abandoned her after she had done her work and betrayed her. At least she could take revenge and vent her anger, but now...

Tang Yan took out a few documents and handed them to Yang Tianzhen, rubbing her eyebrows tiredly.

"In fact, I am not particularly sure. You also know that many policies change at any time, and sometimes there are inevitably some omissions. It is sometimes difficult to define whether there is tax evasion or not, but the assessment made by the investigation team I found is that there is a certain risk."

"As you know, this is a very sensitive matter in the current environment. If we really recruit them and invest a lot of resources, and something happens to them, it will be a big trouble."

"It's not a big deal if it's just her, but the key is the reputation of Coral and Blue Whale. We don't have any bad artists who have been banned, not to mention the tax issue..."

Tang Yan didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.

When Blue Whale was working on Huayi and Fengkuazi, it relied on the fact that there were no problems with taxes and it felt justified and had a loud voice.

If it is revealed later that there is also an artist with a similar bad record in their company, it would be a slap in the face.

By then, the whole network will mock you and Boss Wei will be furious. Who dares to take the responsibility?

Yang Tianzhen held the document and couldn't help shuddering. She didn't dare to imagine the horrible scene, but she still felt unwilling.

"Since it happened before joining the company, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, if we clear the hidden dangers in advance, the probability of accidents will be very low."

Not only did Coral Entertainment make an initial investment, she and Tang Yan were also really optimistic about Song Zuer.

Born in 1998, she has good hardware and software conditions. Not only can she compete with the 95 flowers, she can even dominate the 00 flowers.

So even though I knew there were some rumors about his past, I didn't take it too seriously.

They are looking for celebrities, not moral role models. The key is whether they can become popular and how long they can remain popular. As for those rumors, regardless of whether they are true or not, as long as it does not affect the interests of the company, no one cares.

However, to be on the safe side, Tang Yan still sent someone to conduct an investigation, mainly to assess the risks.

Don't spend countless resources and energy to promote something, only to see it suddenly explode.

So you don't have to care what she does, but you have to make sure nothing will go wrong.

As a result, we didn't find out much about the so-called rumors, but we discovered that the economy didn't seem to be so clean.

"I asked, it's very complicated. It's okay for her, but there seems to be something going on with Xitian and her mother, plus some of her early experiences. There are too many risks. It's better to find someone else instead of taking the risk."

Tang Yan straightforwardly dispelled Yang Tianzhen's hope. If possible, she wanted to make this signing happen more than the latter.

But this risk cannot and does not need to be taken. Song Zuer is good, but there are plenty of good newcomers.

No matter how beautiful a vase is, if it has the risk of breaking, it will never be more cost-effective than a less beautiful but sturdy jar…
