Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 212 The Green God of War?!
The era of decisive victories with super weapons is long gone, and the era of superstar dominance has also come to an end!
In the 21st century, embrace systems and win in this era!

This isn't just true in the military field; it's also true in the entertainment industry...

…………

If your personal abilities aren't outstanding enough and the platform, production team, or program group doesn't want to take a liking to you, don't worry, the company can bring you resources.

If you lack assertiveness and don't know your strengths, that's okay. The company's producers will plan your development path and decide whether you'll be a stage performer or a visual member who enhances the average appearance in the group.

It's okay if you can't speak well. The company's playwrights are all professionals. They can write an interesting script for you, and you just need to memorize it.

It's okay if you can't dance. As long as there are people in the group who can dance better than you, the choreographer will arrange a back position for you.
Can't sing? No problem. Not only in recording studios, but also on music shows and variety programs, the audio can be edited in post-production.
If you're not good-looking enough, that's okay. Our company has skilled face sculptors, makeup artists, hair stylists, and photo editors.

No topic, no unique features? No problem. The company can generate buzz and continuous exposure for you through overwhelming marketing.

In societies like Japan and South Korea where class distinctions are already rigid.

Without the help of a company or agency, newcomers in the entertainment industry will find it virtually impossible to secure any performance opportunities.

…………

In fact, this trend also applies to Huayu Entertainment. After 2015, no newcomers have emerged who went solo or worked independently.

Even seemingly independent studios have received substantial investments from powerful investors!

…………

In the global entertainment industry, entertainment, politics, and business are all closely intertwined.

Entertainment acts as a lubricant, a middleman, and a mouthpiece; it's a crucial part of the power struggle...

Those who set up entertainment companies and agencies in various countries are basically big shots in the industry.

These individuals have accumulated a vast network of connections and a strong reputation in the local entertainment industry over decades, enabling them to provide newcomers with ample entertainment, political, and commercial resources.

Even in Europe and America, politics has long been intertwined with entertainment. The entertainment industry is highly involved in politics and is the stronghold of the Democratic and Green parties, and has even produced many top politicians and presidents.

For example, a "true stock market guru" is the ultimate ruler of the entertainment, political, and business worlds—a unified entity!
In short, it's incredibly difficult for a company to enter the local gaming market in a foreign country...

…………

Of course, the solution is also simple and straightforward: just jump into the country's House of Cards game!

Place your bets big! And become the big winner!

Win and you gain four years of market share! Lose and you're out!
The flower language of the Chifeng double-flowered jasmine is "willing to accept defeat after a bet!"

………………

The situation Tiger Shadow Star Glory International Department is currently facing is basically unsolvable until they win a game of House of Cards...

However, Lin Xingzhuo knew that what Ai Shangzhen said was true.

But in those entertainment industry novels from my past life...

The protagonist, through songwriting and leveraging his father's connections, stirs up various factions, causing even top stars to fawn over him...

Now, they are offering generous artist terms and preparing future hit songs, while signing newcomers who have had a difficult debut and are still unknown.

It failed again!! And it failed twice!
This is simply a disgrace to time travelers in urban entertainment!

Thinking about it makes me less angry!
TMD!

Lin Xingzhuo moved the chair forward again! She grabbed his hair!
Targeted assistance must not stop!!!
………………

During Ai Shangzhen and Lin Xingzhuo's video chat.

Although Lin Xingzhuo kept moving the chair, he steadily controlled his breath using the breathing techniques from "Hua Shao Style Oral Muscle Group Function Strengthening Training Notes," maintaining clear delivery of his lines without any flaws.

If Tsui Hark saw this scene, he would definitely curse out loud.

Flop!!
When filming dramatic scenes.

Lin Xingzhuo's breathing was unstable, resulting in stiff and hesitant delivery of his lines, requiring dozens of takes for each scene!

But now he's displaying the stable breath control of a top-tier professional host?!

…………

Ai Shangzhen recalled the recent private warning from the program producer, Ahn Joon-young, and said:
"Brother Zhuo, after this competition, I feel that the Mnet production team seems very dissatisfied."

"Especially since the international department rejected the 'Profit Sharing Agreement for Talent Show Artists' offered by the TV station, and producer Ahn Joon-young was furious during the last behind-the-scenes footage recording!" Lin Xingzhuo felt his spine suddenly straighten, and his muscles twitched slightly uncontrollably...

He gasped, his toes snapping shut and then relaxing, his fingertips gripping the edge of the table so tightly his knuckles turned white from the force.

However, Lin Xingzhuo's breathing remained steady, his speech fluent, and he remained calm as usual.
"I've spoken to Ding Ye about this, and he said he'll handle it."

"I will remind my sister-in-law again later about the policy risks in the Japanese and South Korean markets."

Ai Shangzhen said, "By the way, my guest singer in the top 16 competition, that Japanese artist, seemed to be having a very pleasant chat with Xu Lu."

Lin Xingzhuo's voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Is it that Japanese actress who's been embroiled in negative news?"

An assistant from the international department appeared on camera, handing over the subsequent Busan itinerary. Ai Shangzhen took the itinerary and said as she looked at it, "Yes, she's really having a tough time."

"My radio show, which I hosted for five years, was replaced, and all my long-term contracts with teen magazines for photo shoots were terminated."

"I participated in Super Star K because of a previous cooperation agreement. Now that I'm back, I'll be completely out of work and will be sidelined by the company."

"If our company's international department is willing to sign her, she can proactively talk to the agency and apply for a reduction in part of the artist contract transaction fees..."

Lin Xingzhuo let out a sigh of relief and said, "You get what you pay for! We don't just buy any cheap stuff..."

Ai Shangzhen, dragging her suitcase with one hand and holding her phone in the other, said, "But I really think she's quite pretty."

"I'm sending you a photo. Registration is about to start. I'm logging off now..."

Lin Xingzhuo and Ai Shangzhen ended the video call.

Half a minute later, Lin Xingzhuo received a photo of Ai Shangzhen and her Japanese guest singer on QQ.

What the hell!

Satomi Ishihara?!
Ishihara still sports short hair and a green sweater! The Green Warrior!

…………

2009 was a major low point in Satomi Ishihara's acting career.

Her starring role in "Nurse Xiao Kui" resulted in dismal ratings...

She began acting in "My Grandfather" at the age of 16, which established her image as a "traditional girl from a working-class family".

At 23, facing the rise of actresses like Aya Ueto and Haruka Ayase, and the fierce competition among pure and innocent actresses in the Japanese entertainment industry, she was clearly out of touch with the times.

…………

The contradiction between her innocent and lively persona and her increasing age is just like that of Zhou Xun in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

However, Zhou Xun was 43 years old when he suffered the market backlash, while Satomi Ishihara faced this situation at the age of 23...

…………

She was named the "ugliest morning drama actress in history" by The Fashion magazine.

His radio show "SAY TO ME!", which he hosted for five years, was also replaced by a newcomer, and he lost a stable media platform.

All 15 magazines that had worked with her for eight consecutive years terminated their contracts, and she lost all her advertising endorsements, resulting in the loss of all commercial exposure opportunities.

Her agent advised her to take a break from work to regroup, and the company initiated a freeze on her career. At the same time, rumors circulated about trading away Satomi Ishihara's artist contract...

According to Weekly Bunshun, Hokuto Group, S1 No.1 Style, MOODYZ, and SOD Group have all extended offers to them...

………………

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the picture of the green-sleeved war god on the computer.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!
The wooden table legs made a persistent, dry creaking sound as they rubbed against the floor…

Li Bingbing crawled out from under the table, wiped the milkshake from the corner of her mouth, and glared at Lin Xingzhuo.

Then he leaned in and tried to kiss her.

Lin Xingzhuo must taste it!

Hey!
This woman is ruthless!
Even tigers don't eat their cubs!
Stop! Stop!

Woohoo...
