Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 347: Artist Management Development! A Lot of Problems

"Tell me more about it." Zhang Yang suddenly became interested.

He has his eyes on several future artists who have good reputation and acting skills and will become popular as long as they produce good works.

Even though the company currently has Zhao Liying, Li Yitong, Reba and Wen Yongshan, Liu Shishi and Nazha have also been booked, and there are also male artists such as Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, Yu Haoming and Hu Yitian, but this is actually nothing.

Even if he doubles his salary, he still has the ability to lift everyone up and help him make a good drama.

But Mo Xiangwan said that some problems had occurred.

Luck finally ran out?
"Wei Daxun has plans for himself. He wants to develop in the peninsula." Mo Xiangwan sat down on the sofa and began to report: "So he declined our invitation."

Go to the peninsula to develop?
Zhang Yang searched his memory and found that this was the case.

The restriction order on Korean culture has not been issued yet. Now is the honeymoon period between China and South Korea, and cultural and artistic exchanges are frequent.

EXO reached its peak as soon as it debuted, the trend of boy and girl groups was blowing in the country, coupled with the thriving fan economy, the emergence of celebrity investment stocks, and the likes of Internet giants.

Indeed, many people have turned their attention to the peninsula, typical figures among them are Lin Gengxin and Zhang Tangzhu.

Zhang Tangzhu even invested heavily in Sino-Korean co-production of TV series, but in the end they all failed due to the restriction on Korean culture.

If it weren’t for “Come on, Mr. Love” saving him, this legal star would have been finished long ago.

Wei Daxun did have this choice.

"Then forget about him for now, he's not an essential artist." Zhang Yang smiled faintly.

He planned to contact the people from the Chenhai branch on the peninsula.

If you can sign, then sign. If you don’t sign, it doesn’t matter.

"Song Yi finally chose to sign with Zhang Han's studio." Mo Xiangwan continued, "I heard that Zhang Tangzhu promised her three female lead roles, two of which were co-produced by China and South Korea, and since they were old classmates..."

"Really? Then forget about it for now." Zhang Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Song Yi, nicknamed Tietie, is a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, just like Wei Daxun.

Like Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Li Qin and others, he has participated in "Dream of Red Mansions".

She has filmed many dramas, has good acting skills, and is pretty, with fair skin, good looks and a good figure.

Unfortunately, she never became popular until she was about to give up her acting career, when she became famous for her role as Yu Manli in "The Disguiser".

Her role as Fan Ruoruo in “Joy of Life” was also impressive, and she is a female artist worth cultivating.

Since we can’t sign the contract now, let’s wait until “The Disguiser” and “Joy of Life” start filming.

He has acquired the copyright of the novels of these two plays at a "high price".

"Zhang Tianai has already agreed to play the female lead in a TV series after we offered her the conditions." Mo Xiangwan continued to report: "But a few days ago, her agent reached an agreement with Xitian Film and Television Culture, and she decided to join them."

Zhang Yang almost spit out the water in his mouth: "."

Xitian is a film and television culture company founded this year. It has extensive connections behind it and is favored by capital giants. It was originally on track to sign the peak Wu Xiubo and Wang Xiaochen to directly arrange for him to act with Hu Ge, as well as Yuan Hong's wife Zhang Xinyi, one of the representative actors in the uncle circle Li Guangjie, and Song Zuer, who could have been among the top among the 95 flowers, who starred in Qu Chuxiao in "The Wandering Earth".

As for these people, they either became unpopular or became legal experts. At best, they were exposed for their dirty laundry and their situation got worse and worse.

"No need to work hard. It's not necessary." Zhang Yang didn't care much.

The reason why I want to sign Zhang Tianai is because she has a green face.

The entertainment industry will see fair, thin and young skin as the mainstream aesthetic, but that is the result of capital chasing profits.

If a truly talented and good-looking actor can come up with a suitable script, it is not impossible to promote him. In fact, it will be more cost-effective. It can be considered as a hobby for him.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed.

"You will not be able to star in 'Go Princess Go', but that necklace is suitable. I can give it to her as a gift and promote other artists signed by the company at the same time." Zhang Yang thought secretly.

I hope this cousin named Zhang will not regret it in his dreams at midnight.

"As for Wang Chu, her family said that her studies are more important, and she cannot play Song Yi's past life or childhood." Mo Xiangwan continued to report.

"Huh?" Zhang Yang found it funny: "She could refuse a good role?"

He remembered clearly that Wang Chu would enroll in the Shanghai Theatre Academy Affiliated College to study in high school next year, and would be admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy three years later.

Thinking that she would be his junior in the future, and that she did resemble Liu Yifei from some angles, he thought of asking her to play the heroine's childhood, just like Jiang Peiyao played Gao Yuanyuan's childhood.

If Wang Chu does not have some of the problems that are rumored online in the future, he will sign a contract with a company that will train 85 and 90 flowers in the ancient costume drama market. If there are problems, he will not sign the contract.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected at the first step, which was really beyond his expectations.

"They are willing to play this role, but the price they ask for is a bit unreasonable." Mo Xiangwan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he added: "And I think they are mainly unwilling to sign the supplementary agreement."

"Is that so?" Zhang Yang nodded slightly: "It seems that they also know the benefits of marketing little Liu Yifei and don't want to give others a handle."

The so-called supplementary agreement means that after Wang Chu plays the role of Little Song Yi, he can no longer privately market "Little Liu Yifei". Once verified, it will be considered a breach of contract and he will need to pay compensation and make a public apology.

Paying compensation is a small matter, but apologizing would mean social death, and you would not be able to hold your head up high in the entertainment industry anymore.

Some people are like this, they are clearly riding on the popularity, but on the surface they hate being compared. Zhang Yang did this not because he was bored, but it was a request for help from Liu Yifei in her spare time.

"Let her be. She's too shortsighted." Zhang Yang smiled indifferently.

There are many people who can play the role of Xiao Song Yi. There are many female artists in the circle who are a third of what Liu Yifei looks like and have become famous.

"As for Li Qin, Rong Xinda was willing, but she refused." Mo Xiangwan told Zhang Yang another piece of news that surprised him.

"She herself doesn't want to?" Zhang Yang rubbed his fingers together. "This really makes me look at her in a new light."

Li Qin joined Rong Xinda in 08 for her role as the young Xue Baochai in A Dream of Red Mansions. Since then, she has been promoted and starred in many dramas as female protagonists, such as The Sky of Love, The Return of the Daughter, and White Deer Plain (supporting role). She has a large user audience on TV, but her face is familiar but she is not well-known.

As Rong Xinda continued to decline, the vitality of the series was out of touch with the needs of the modern film and television market. Li Qin, a woman who was very good at ancient costumes, did not star in any hit ancient costume dramas between 12 and 16.

It was not until 16 and before 18 that Rong Xinda signed her film and television contract with New Classics, retaining the agency contract.

She only became famous for her role as Yuan Chun, the second female lead in the 17 TV series "Princess Agents".

It also laid the foundation for her later role as the second female lead, Chicken Leg Girl, in "Joy of Life".

Zhang Yang let Mo Xiangwan contact him because he wanted to get Li Qin's film and television contract in advance, and accept all the contracts after her contract with Rong Xinda ended in 17.

Such a good-looking person, with good looks, strong plasticity, an audience base, and very good character, who is just lacking a female artist for TV dramas, should of course be signed.

"Then you should spend some time to keep in touch, but you don't have to lower yourself." Zhang Yang said after a moment's hesitation: "Just show that the door of Chenhai is always open to her."

As time went by, Li Qin's mentality naturally changed as he watched his old friends become more and more popular.

Now he is still reluctant to give in because of his old employer, but he will compromise in the end.

Once you have tasted the "delicious" food of Chenhai, you will never be able to give it up.

"I understand." Mo Xiangwan made another note in the book, and then said: "Unlike Li Qin, Zhu Xudan does have the intention to join our Chenhai, but the contract has already been signed with LeTV."

"Has it been signed?" Zhang Yang was unaware of this.

What he knew about Zhu Xudan was that he was one of the Four Heroes of the Bamboo Forest in "Eternal Night Starry River".

It was the gutless action that made Yu Zhen yell "Go to hell".

It is also a slightly tipsy track with Yan Ni, just like mother and daughter.

He only knew that Zhu Xudan also graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and signed with Jiaxing in mid-15, and thought he was a free agent now.

"You should keep in touch as well. I'll find a way to get a contract from LeTV later." Zhang Yang seemed very calm.

As powerful as LeTV is now, how miserable it will be in the future. It can be said that they have sold everything they can, let alone a small artist?
When we cooperate with LeTV on "Go Princess Go", we will also be able to get in touch with Zhu Xudan.

"The last one is Peng Yuchang." Mo Xiangwan closed the notebook.

"Even my cheap junior is unwilling?" Zhang Yang smiled.

In fact, it’s not very surprising. Peng Yuchang was also a lone ranger in the original time and space.

He has a good vision, good luck, and a keen sense of smell. He has made a name for himself in the TV drama, film and variety show circles, and has also established his own network.

And his thinking was very clear. Since he couldn't get into the performing arts department, he accepted the transfer and entered the puppet show department, thus entering the circle in a roundabout way.

"That's not the case." Mo Xiangwan smiled and shook her head: "I can tell that he is very excited, but he seems to have some concerns? He always hesitates to speak."

"Concerns?" Zhang Yang found it interesting and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll talk to him in person."

The situation regarding the company's recruitment of artists has come to a temporary halt.

Zhang Yang actually has a list with the names of Meng Ziyi, Bai Lu, Wu Lei, Tan Jianci and others on it, but the time to discover them has not come yet.

"You keep busy. I'm going to write the script."

Zhang Yang went back to his office.

Time passed quickly and it was the next morning.

Zhang Yang drove to Shanghai and took a walk back to school.

Give a small gift to each teacher and good friend.

I was busy until the evening and left, then called to meet Peng Yuchang, who had just started his junior year.

"Hello, senior. Thank you for treating me to dinner." Peng Yuchang smiled shyly, but his optimistic personality was already revealed: "I didn't expect that after a little hesitation, there would be such a good thing."

"I'm currently working on a play in Shanghai, so I'd like to invite you." Zhang Yang smiled faintly and asked with interest, "My agent told me that you seem to have some concerns about joining Chen Hai."

"Just treat me as your senior and tell me what your concerns are."

Hearing this, Peng Yuchang hesitated for a moment: "I don't think Chen Hai and I are suitable."

"I'm so ugly."

Zhang Yang:?
