Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 219 Umbrella Species and Flagship Species! The Position Has Been Set!!

With the matter in South Korea resolved, the International Department's Seoul office will handle the follow-up...

Mnet has already succumbed to pressure and signed a framework cooperation agreement with Tiger Vision Group.

As for the Wild Dog Gang, the Seven Stars Sect...

Still trying to cause trouble? You won't eat Enqin? Damn it! I'll treat you to some purple eggs from the air force!!

…………

Seoul International Airport, Terminal 2, South Korea.

Ai Shangzhen went to Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, where the crew of "King of Baking, Kim Takgu" was filming at Palbong Bakery.

Ding Ye is going to Hong Kong to discuss business. Zhu Yilong, an artist from the company, visited the Hong Kong Film Studio on Fushan Road the day before yesterday.

…………

The three parted ways at Seoul International Airport...

Ai Shangzhen really wanted to give Lin Xingzhuo a big kiss.

But while hesitating, Lin Xingzhuo was pulled aside by Ding Ye to talk about something. When he had a moment to himself, another wave of people rushed in, and Lin Xingzhuo had already waved to the boarding gate...

Hesitation leads to defeat, and sincerity is wasted.

Watching Lin Xingzhuo's departing figure as she boarded the plane...

Ai Shangzhen was holding a China Mobile and Xu Liang co-branded card holder, which contained a photo of the two of them taken together when they performed in Xu Liang's play "Ke Guan Bu Ke Yi".

I kind of regret it...

…………

The matter of Ding Ye and Lin Xingzhuo chatting at the airport is quite simple.

Through the connections of her sister-in-law Shen Mojun, Tiger Roaring Kirin Cinemas has made contact with Wang Xiuqiong, the general manager of Golden Harvest Cinemas, and is currently negotiating a cooperation agreement.

Golden Harvest Cinemas has been in poor business since the turn of the millennium.

The company's losses from films such as "The Accidental Spy," "Lucky Star," "Marry a Rich Man," and "Interactive Murder Case" plunged it into a persistent cash flow crisis!

Last year's financial crisis hit Hong Kong hardest as an international financial port.

Golden Harvest, which was attempting to diversify its business in the capital market and reduce its reliance on revenue from a single cinema chain, suffered a devastating blow and heavy losses!
…………

Sister-in-law Shen Mojun and Wang Xiuqiong are old acquaintances.

At a Christie's auction in Hong Kong in 2004, Shen Mojun, the eldest sister-in-law, bought a sapphire necklace designed by Carina Lau for HK$150,000.

While playing cards with Carina Lau, he met Wang Xiuqiong, who was once Raymond Chow's secretary and is now the general manager of Golden Harvest Cinemas.

…………

Golden Harvest Cinemas, which is in dire straits, attaches great importance to this collaboration with Tiger Roaring Kirin Cinemas.

To show her sincerity, Wang Xiuqiong also used her connections to introduce an audition opportunity for a role in a low-budget urban romance film.

Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance arranged for Zhu Yilong to audition.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo filmed "Dwelling Narrowness", "Beauty's Rival in Palace" and "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" this year.

There's also a Zhejiang TV variety show, a CCTV interview, Montblanc's Asia brand ambassador, and the release of two hit songs.

This is definitely a template for a supernova debut!!

Zhu Yilong, who signed with the company around the same time, filmed "Reign of Assassins," endorsed Ai Zhi Wei iced grass jelly, and played supporting roles in the TV series "Confucius" and "Marry In and Get Married Out."

I recently auditioned for several films through the talent agency, but haven't heard back yet.

In short, Zhu Yilong's resources are simply not on the same level as Lin Xingzhuo's.

This situation is due to Lin Xingzhuo's unfathomable policy influence and network of female connections.

More importantly, at the company's strategic level, there is a proactive allocation of resources!

This gave Lin Xingzhuo, who was already incredibly talented, a new level of success in 2009, comparable to Xie Tingfeng's rise to stardom back in the day!
Of course, this is also a common strategy for entertainment companies in the entertainment industry!

…………

In my previous life, starting in the 2015s, Hollywood's liberal left took hold, giving rise to a number of papers on environmentalism, vegetarianism, LGBTQ, and neo-fist movements.

Most of them are forced connections, nonsense, and attempts to fraudulently obtain funding. However, if we look at them ten years from now, they should all be considered top-quality graduation theses from Wuhan University…

…………

Lin Xingzhuo aimed to publish a paper in a top-tier journal indexed by SSCI.

Mining in dung heaps, panning for gold in excrement...

Finally, I found a few truly insightful academic research papers on the entertainment industry.

One of them is a paper from the Yale School of Art titled "The Umbrella Effect: On the Niche Symbiotic Mechanism of Umbrella Species, Flagship Species, and Top Artists in Entertainment Companies."

This paper was published in the Art Bulletin, the journal of the American Art Historical Association, which is ranked among the top 3 in the field of art history and has a rejection rate of over 85%.

…………

The article cites two concepts from the field of environmental protection.

Umbrella species and flagship species.

The umbrella species refers to a representative species in a certain region, and in order to protect it, its habitat must be protected.

In the process of protecting it, other organisms in this habitat are also protected, thus it acts as an umbrella.

Flagship species should serve to educate the public about the importance of environmental protection.

The primary task of every ecological reserve is to establish umbrella species and flagship species for that reserve.

The most typical example is the giant panda.

…………

Conversely, if you present an endangered venomous snake to the public...

It's on the verge of extinction, please save it!!
Many people will definitely feel disgusted, and may even have thoughts like, "It would be better if such a disgusting creature were extinct!" or "Just die already! It's disgusting!"

…………

The entertainment industry follows the same principle. The top talents in talent agencies, film and television companies, and even the mentors and mentors in their respective circles are like the umbrella species and flagship species of their own small plot of land.

By attracting online traffic, film and television resources, fashion resources, and political resources, other artists in the company will also benefit.

…………

This is evident not only in Hollywood, but also in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Historical dramas cannot avoid Tang Dynasty actors, and Tang Dynasty actors cannot avoid Hu Ge (a famous Chinese actress).

When discussing Zhouyi Film and Television, it's often said that if Zhouyi hadn't fallen from grace, after 2015, Yu Bo, the top actor from Zhouyi, would at least have reached the same level of fame as Hu Ge.

If we talk about Huang Xiaoming, the top star of Wayi Entertainment, who has dominated the Chinese entertainment industry for ten years as a domineering CEO;

Even when discussing the Gu Jianfen training class's battle against the Grammys, Liu Huan, the top star, will inevitably be mentioned.
The top members of these organizations brought a lot of traffic to the company, expanded resources, and maintained company stability by mentoring new employees.

In particular, it provides shelter and support to younger generations during times of crisis, helping them withstand pressure!

…………

During his trip to South Korea, Lin Xingzhuo stood up for Ai Shangzhen, which became quite a rumor within Tiger Shadow Star Glory Company.

In short, this Tiger Shadow leader is truly going to take responsibility!

Lin Xingzhuo, the top leader, built his reputation by weathering the South Korea crisis in the International Department!
From this point on, the senior positions within the company were settled, and the artist management department should begin to allocate resources to Zhu Yilong, who was in the same cohort.

…………

Originally, the relationship between Ding Ye and Lin Xingzhuo didn't need any explanation at all...

Moreover, Lin Xingzhuo and Zhu Yilong are not only company veterans from the same period, but they also have an excellent relationship. Some people in the company even ship them as a couple.

However, this is Lin Xingzhuo's current position within the company.

Even if those above don't speak, those below won't forget to try and figure out what they mean.

Therefore, Zhu Yilong's agent, Gu Li, took the initiative to explain to Ding Ye to avoid offending Lin Xingzhuo...

………………

Lin Xingzhuo returned to the capital and rested for a week.

The following week, after winning the gold medal in the Taoli Cup Latin dance competition, Mao Xiaotong, who had been accepted to an advertisement for Betty children's dancewear, returned to Apartment No. 1 in Fudi Capital after completing the photoshoot...
