China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 600: The Highest Standard Reception, Iceberg Beauty Sisters

"We are organizing an economic and cultural exchange group to go to South Korea. The time is probably at the end of the month. Is your schedule okay?"

"Director Tong, since you asked, there will definitely be no problem."

Zhou Yutang was very conscious and asked casually, "Who is on the list?"

The two countries are now in a honeymoon period of relations. They just signed an agreement on co-production of films this year, and there are many similar economic and cultural exchange activities.

"The leader of the Ali team specifically mentioned your name."

Director Tong said calmly, "If you have any difficulties, you can ask."

Now Jack Ma of the Alibaba Group has reached the top of the business world. His popularity is unmatched. He takes his team to give speeches everywhere, and his adopted sons are spread all over the country.

Zhou Yutang is also a leading figure in China's entertainment industry. A recent CNN report praised him as "the most respected young international director among Chinese audiences."

"Director Tong, please tell me, I have a little trouble and I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Oh."

Director Tong seemed to be in a good mood and made a little joke: "Why, is there something you can't handle? Tell me about it."

"Director Tong, please stop making fun of me."

Zhou Yutang was sweating inside, but he still spoke up with a thick face: "As for the project of Operation Mekong, from the time it was discussed to now, the script has been revised several times, and the effect is still not ideal."

"The main thing is that I'm not sure about the direction. I need you to take my pulse and check it out, then I will know what to do."

"Operation Mekong" was a project won through public bidding at the Liushenmen Headquarters.

But this kind of project involves official projects, and all aspects have to be taken into consideration, so the script is not that easy to write.

At that time, "In the Name of People" was specifically mentioned by senior leaders for attention and was given special treatment, so it was given the green light all the way.

This time it is just a routine project. Even with the endorsement of Golden Shield, we still have to follow the rules and procedures.

Zhou Yutang understood that the crying child gets the milk.

Since Director Tong has said that we can raise any requests, it would be best if we could solve this problem at the same time.

Director Tong on the other end of the phone understood what was going on and laughed: "I have also heard about this project. The general direction is good, but some comrades below have complained that the content of the script is over the line."

"But we must look at both sides of everything, showing the magnanimity of a great country, and.
Let’s put it this way. We still have to go through the process. I’ll hold an internal meeting to discuss this later.”

"There's a saying that goes, clear the clouds and see the clear sky."

Zhou Yutang was slightly happy: "Thank you, Director Tong."

"Don't be too busy thanking me yet. Submit a list of the accompanying personnel as soon as possible. We will need to contact them in advance when the time comes."

With the Children's Bureau taking the lead in holding a meeting to discuss the issue, there should be no surprise in pushing this project through.

This is the situation in China.

For many things, the results come first and then the process.

Nazha stayed close to Zhou Yutang the whole time, and waited until he finished talking to Director Tong before coming over. She opened her big, sparkling eyes and asked, "Brother, are you going to South Korea next?"

"Well, there's something to take care of over there."

Even if Tong Gang didn't mention it, Zhou Yutang would have to go to South Korea next.

Lu Han's return to China and the contract renewal of Girls' Generation's Jessica Jung with S&M need to be dealt with.

Pei Yun’s weight is not enough, so he has to come forward in person to cover it.

Zhou Yutang doesn't have many scenes left. Nazha joined the crew early and will wrap up filming by late September at the latest. Then she will immediately start the promotion work for "Love O2O" and will also have to shoot a commercial for the game of the same name.

"I'm so reluctant."

Thinking that they were about to separate and that the next meeting would probably have to wait another month or two, Nazha felt a little sad and hugged Zhou Yutang even tighter.

She knew that there were many women around Zhou Yutang, but at least during the time Zhou Yutang was in the crew, he paid more attention to her.

Nazha really enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by happiness.

After finishing filming during the day, he would occasionally accompany Zhou Yutang to meet the He family and some other local tyrants in Haojiang.

When they have free time, they go to the streets of Haojiang to go shopping and eat snacks, and at night the two of them spend the night together without any shame.

With the intention of pleasing others, Nazha gave in to everyone's requests and was extremely obedient.

It’s a pity that Zhou Yutang is too busy with his career and is destined not to stop moving forward for a woman.

Sometimes, Nazha would often have wild thoughts: "If only my brother wasn't so outstanding, not so popular, and only belonged to me."

But that is just wishful thinking after all.

Zhou Yutang is too dazzling. All the popular female stars pale in comparison to him.

Feeling that Nazha was a little depressed, Zhou Yutang put his arm around her fair shoulders and held her light body in his arms.
"Brother, what do you say about me getting a breast augmentation?"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhou Yutang's face: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Don't men like big ones?"

Nazha raised her slender neck, with her delicate clavicle lines, and said in a nagging voice: "Brother, I have consulted a professional doctor. What will happen if a prosthesis is put in? Do you know what the doctor said?"

"What did you say?"

"The doctor gave an example. The same bowl will look different if it is placed under a sheet or a quilt. The doctor said that if the base is a quilt, then it is a thick quilt and you can't see it."

Well, that's hopeless.

Zhou Yutang touched Nazha's head and comforted her, "It's okay, small ones are also cute. At your age, I will work harder and you will have a chance to develop again."

If you do what you say, you will have to comfort her.

Nazha is a simple-minded person and easy to coax. After a while, she was lulled into oblivion by the scumbag’s promises.

Forget about prostheses, enlargement, etc.

When Zhou Yutang saw her holding the phone, he didn't know why he was so happy and kept grinning foolishly from time to time.

When I got closer to take a look, I discovered that she was in her core fan group, watching the manager organizing votes for the Golden Eagle Goddess candidates.

The Golden Eagle Goddess is actually just the image ambassador of the Golden Eagle Festival, not an honorary award.

The rigid standard given by Mango TV is that the actress must be popular, highly popular and naturally youthful and beautiful.

The first Golden Eagle Award winner was Liu Yifei.

At that time, Liu Tianxian was a bit invincible. She won the Golden Eagle Goddess title by drinking AD calcium milk.

The last Golden Eagle Goddess was Liu Shishi.

The little lions showed amazing fighting power, using their huge advantage in votes to pull together and defeat several candidates behind them.

Her election as the Golden Eagle Goddess in such a domineering manner also earned Liu Shishi the nickname "No. 1 Sister" in the circle.

Having been elected as the Golden Eagle Goddess, she naturally cannot be elected again. This time, without the two Lius, things will become lively.

Judging from the number of votes, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Zheng Shuang, Li Xin and Zhao Liying are in the first tier.

The second echelon includes Zhou Dongyu, Tong Yaya, Guli Nazha, Di Lieba and Yang Ying.

Others such as Yuan Shanshan, Qi Wei, Zhang Jiani, etc., are also considered popular young actresses, but in the middle of the voting, the vote gap had widened and they were basically runners-up.

"Brother, do you think I have a chance?"

Nazha snuggled up to Zhou Yutang, and her tone unconsciously became a bit coquettish.

"You are a goddess in my heart. Your eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, just like stars."

Nazha's eyes were full of smiles.

It doesn’t really matter whether you win the Golden Eagle Goddess award or not.

She was already intoxicated by Zhou Yutang's sweet words that were so affectionate that even a dog would find them so affectionate.

In fact, Zhou Yutang knew it very well.

There is a high probability that Guli Nazha and Dilraba Dilmurat will be runners-up this time.

Because although Nazha has the box office performance of "Now You See Me" which is enough to surpass all the young actresses, her performance on TV screen is obviously inferior to that of Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others.

By the time the drama "Love O2O" scheduled for the National Day was broadcast, the Golden Eagle Goddess had already been decided.

The sisters from Northern Xinjiang will never separate.

Di Lieba, one of the two beauties in northern Xinjiang, is in a similar situation.

Apart from Shirley Yang in "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", her only well-known role on TV is Fan Ruoruo in "Joy of Life".

After the filming of another drama "Pretty Li Huizhen" was completed, although the post-production was completed, there was no time to hold a film screening.

This year's "Diamond Lover", which he co-starred with Tang Yan, is also in the process of being broadcast.

The national popularity accumulated from the ace variety show Running Man is obviously not enough for Dilraba Dilmurat to become a Golden Eagle Award winner.

In the circle, there is a professional term for this kind of young flowers with potential that have not yet been tapped, called "flowers waiting to explode."

In comparison, the most likely ones are Yang Mi and Tang Yan, or Zhao Liying and Li Xin, they all have chances.

The person in charge of Mango Golden Eagle has contacted Zhou Yutang and hinted at his thoughts.

Zhou Yutang has always maintained a good relationship with Mango TV and they are deep strategic partners. Those who are currently ranked high for the Golden Eagle Goddess have more or less some relationship with Zhou Yutang, so his ideas are very important.

But this time, Zhou Yutang was not prepared to take action.

Just let it be.

It depends on their own luck.

By the end of September, the two Hollywood blockbusters "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Expendables 9" were released during the Mid-Autumn Festival in mainland China without any suspense.

The former has already broken 6 million at the box office, and the latter is not far behind, ranking second during the Mid-Autumn Festival with a cumulative box office of 3.8 million.

The box office of Guangguang's "The Four" reached 1.91 million yuan, which was considered a slight resistance.

Xie Tingfeng and Tang Wei's "One Life, One World" has been released for three weeks and the total box office has reached 2.03 million yuan, which has created the peak box office record in Xie Tingfeng's career as a leading actor.

In addition, all domestic films, including "The Intouchables," the first film work of the famous TV director Zhao Baogang, have become cannon fodder.

As the National Day holiday approaches, "Lost in Thailand" also released its final trailer.

After Zhou Yutang finished filming, he returned to Beijing in a low-key manner and received an official invitation letter and related documents.

On the 25th, the entertainment emperor of China once again arrived in his loyal Incheon.

"Ani ah Saiyo, oppa!"

"Ahhh! It's so handsome!"

"Eat fish in porridge, Nihao! Woai Ni!"

……

When walking out of the airport passage, at least hundreds of Korean fans gathered, each speaking broken Chinese, excitedly expressing their love to Zhou Yutang.

This time it was a public trip, and was brought back by Zhou Yutang’s fans here a long time ago.

"Hello."

Zhou Yutang waved to the Korean fans and gave a bright business smile.

Crack! Crack! Crack!
The shutter clicks like a machine gun.

Flashes of light kept flashing one after another.

The media at the scene didn't want to miss even a second of Zhou Yutang coming to Korea again after a long time.

Zhou Yutang's perfect professionalism also earned him screams that almost ripped the airport dome apart.

There are also many South Korean financial media taking pictures of Jack Ma, but at this time his limelight is undoubtedly overshadowed by Zhou Yutang. After all, in terms of appearance, Mr. Ma is at a disadvantage.

Teacher Ma and Zhou Yutang walked outside with their team.

This strange combination attracted passers-by to stop and watch.

In this small country where the entertainment industry is particularly developed, such star-chasing at the airport happens every day.

But today is a little different.

On both sides of the airport passage stood two rows of stern security guards in uniform suits.

It wasn't until they recognized the white-faced, beardless middle-aged man who often appeared in the news media that they realized:
"Oh my god, this guy is Ahn Jong-beom, the chief secretary of the Blue House!"

"Mud howl, mud howl."

An Zhongfan smiled and walked towards the visiting delegation.

He shook hands with Jack Ma and Zhou Yutang respectively. His slightly bulging belly showed that he lived a pampered life.

"Hello, Secretary An."

When Zhou Yutang shook hands with him, he inexplicably thought of Eunuch Cao Zhengchun.

With an interpreter by their side, communication was of course smooth. They talked as they walked, and soon got into the car that An Zhongfan had prepared in advance.

The itinerary for this visit and exchange was arranged in advance. The car first drove to the Shilla Hotel where we were staying for a short rest, and then went directly to the Blue House in the afternoon.

"Boss, I heard that Kaka attaches great importance to this meeting and has specially arranged a grand banquet tonight. The standard is very high and it is almost as good as a state banquet." Ni Ni checked the itinerary that she had memorized over and over again, feeling somewhat excited.

Ordinary people will never have the chance to come into contact with such a situation in their lifetime.

"You'd better not expect too much."

Zhou Yutang skillfully logged into Kakao and sent a message to Yoona.

This software is equivalent to WeChat in South Korea, but Yoona is recording a variety show in Jeju Island and will not be back until tomorrow.

It was 2:50 p.m. that day.

The woman met with Alibaba director Mr. Ma and several vice directors, as well as a group of Jiangdong executives led by Zhou Yutang at the Blue House.

At present, the relationship between the two sides is in a honeymoon period. Against the backdrop of more frequent interactions, it is a general trend to promote deeper and more comprehensive cooperation between the two sides and encourage investment and exchanges.

The topic of this exchange was "Using a New Era in Asia", and the two sides exchanged views on cooperation in several areas including e-commerce, games, and entertainment.

The leader is Jack Ma, and Zhou Yutang does not take over the lead.

The opportunity to show off in front of others was given to Teacher Ma.

The sales volume on Double Eleven easily exceeds hundreds of millions, which almost makes the Koreans dizzy.

If we say that Jack Ma is now the leader of China's business world.

Then Zhou Yutang is probably the king of China's entertainment industry, and plays an important role in expanding the scope of cultural exchanges between the two sides.

He talked about all sorts of things and all that, and all he said were polite words.

It was not until the highest-level dinner that Zhou Yutang was truly enlightened.

What about traditional Korean bibimbap with tofu meatball soup, plus a table full of exquisitely arranged kimchi and spicy cabbage?
Just couldn't see it.

Pei Yun and Li Shuang were both relatively calm.

They had been to South Korea before, and Zhou Yutang had heard from Sister Shuang before that the cafeterias at South Korean universities were abnormal and something ordinary people could never imagine.

At least the steak was okay for now.

Teacher Ma and his friends were also stunned.

They hadn't even started fighting, but it seemed like it was over.

The nuts and rice cakes at the back felt like unlimited snacks at a 50-yuan buffet near a university.
This is the high standard of a state banquet! ?
Ni Ni began to doubt her life.

After finally completing the process, Mr. Ma was still communicating with Mr. Li from Samsung.

Zhou Yutang took a closer look at Mr. Li, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked quite elegant.

The old chairman of Samsung has already divided the family property clearly. Li Fuzhen has taken over the family's entertainment, tourism and other industries, but Samsung's core business will be handed over to this person.

Mr. Li also smiled back. He seemed to be quite interested in his sister's partner.

The two of them didn't have much chance to communicate. Zhou Yutang looked at Ni Ni's hesitant expression and smiled softly, "Let's go to SBS TV first, and then go back to the company later to meet that iceberg beauty, and then call Sister Shuang and Pei Yun to have a midnight snack together."

In the evening, Vice President Han accompanied us to enjoy this high-standard kimchi banquet.

No one was full, but everyone pretended to be satisfied.

You still have to do some superficial work, you can't just jump right in and show off.

Next, Vice President Han entertained Teacher Ma and arranged for An Zhongfan to serve Zhou Yutang, and they went to SBS TV station together first.

Zhou Yutang has cooperative relationships with South Korea's KBS and SBS, and many variety shows and TV dramas are imported into South Korea through these two TV stations.

This is the case with the travel variety show "Hua'er Series". It received good ratings when it was broadcast on Mango Channel, and it immediately achieved three goals with one stone.

Now Shanghai TV has launched a show called "Sisters Over Flowers", which is then exported to South Korea to earn foreign exchange.

On the way, An Zhongfan said, "President Zhou, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Oh? Secretary An, you can go ahead and tell me."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fatty An smiled widely: "I have a tycoon friend whose daughter is a loyal fan of yours. She really hopes to have a chance to take a photo with you."

Zhou Yutang looked at Fatty An meaningfully.

When being a secretary, one must have a sense of propriety in what one does.

A chief eunuch like Fatty An would never make such a sudden request because of his personal relationship.

Then, there is only one possibility...

Is he following his boss's ideas, or the requests of important people around his boss?

"can."

Zhou Yutang understood and nodded slightly.

There's nothing much to say. Taking photos or group photos only takes a few seconds at most and it's over in a flash.

After walking around the SBS TV station, I finally met the daughter of the chaebol.

Zhou Yutang glanced at it casually.

At most, he is a few years older than the little koi, but he is wearing all branded clothes.

From the perspective of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, who had been through many beautiful women, even though this Korean girl tried hard to force out a smile that she thought was pure and sweet, her face and temperament could not hide her arrogance, coldness and arrogance.

That was the great sense of superiority that her family background brought her.

She is probably the kind of rich chaebol girl villain in movies and TV dramas who bullies other female classmates.

Faced with such an incredibly handsome face, and eyes that even a dog could feel were affectionate, the inexperienced Korean girl was bewitched and turned into a moron.

But Zhou Yutang didn't want to get involved in trouble, so he kept his distance when taking photos.

"President Zhou, I look forward to better cooperation with Jiangdong Entertainment."

We were just having a great chat, and my old acquaintance, SBS Deputy Director Li, took the initiative to invite me: "There will be a party later. Do you have time?"

"Probably not."

Zhou Yutang glanced at his watch and said, "I have an important appointment later."

……

"Sister, the appointment time is almost up, why don't you go in earlier?"

Krystal Jung was sitting in Jessica Jung's white Range Rover.

She couldn't understand why her sister, who was petite, liked to drive such a wild car.

I also don't understand why she arrived at the agreed location half an hour early, but didn't go in, but just sat in the car waiting quietly.

"Ten minutes left."

Jessica Jung checked her makeup, looked down at the time on her phone, and looked up at the brand new building outside the car window.

There are 2 underground floors and 9 above-ground floors. The JD.Entertainment company logo on the outside of the building is both bold and eye-catching, with a strong sense of design.

Overall, it is no worse than the buildings of YG, JYP, and SM, the top entertainment companies in South Korea.

Some time ago, Korean media reported that the office building in Cheongdam-dong alone is worth more than 300 billion won.

Since Zhou Yutang bought the land, the price of the land has skyrocketed, at least increasing by more than 20 billion won from the original basis.

Jessica Jung gradually became distracted, thinking about how she had secretly asked someone to investigate information about Zhou Yutang in advance.

He is a star popular throughout Asia, an internationally renowned director, and a Chinese tycoon who controls capital that is beyond the imagination of Jessica Jung.

This JD.Entertainment is just the tip of the iceberg of his assets.

Jiangdong Entertainment Headquarters is the leader in China's entertainment industry, and its hit dramas are exported to South Korea, with a huge influence.

Even the now popular national variety show Running Man in South Korea is the result of behind-the-scenes manipulation by another company of his.

Not to mention Zhou Yutang’s film and television company in America, which has achieved nearly 1 billion US dollars in box office revenue this year alone.

This is only what Jessica Jung was able to investigate. There is a lot of information that she has no access to at all.

Zheng Xiuyan was absent-minded and let out a soft sigh.

Yoona is really lucky.

She even met such a man.

"Sister, hurry up, it's coming."

The bored sister Zheng Xiujing folded her pair of white feet under her buttocks, her pair of dark and bright eyes moved around, and suddenly she screamed.

"Hey, Zheng Xiujing, do you want to die?"

Being pulled back to reality by her sister's high-decibel voice, Jessica Jung trembled slightly like a frightened rabbit: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Sister, the one you've been waiting for is here."

……

"President!"

"President!"

The Zheng sisters witnessed with their own eyes the chaos at the gate of JD.Entertainment company, and then order was restored.

They stood in order of seniority and position, from nearest to farthest, like subjects welcoming the emperor back to the court, bowing humbly and respectfully.

"Wow, big hair."

Zheng Xiujing's eyes were shining as she watched the stretched luxury car stop in front of the company's gate. Then the back door opened and the tall figure walked out.

After watching Min Hee-jin and the company's top executives escort Zhou Yutang into the building, Jessica Jung took out the small mirror from her bag and began to touch up her makeup again.

For some reason, she felt a little nervous when she thought about facing Zhou Yutang next.
"Xiujing, what do you think of my lipstick color?"

"Yes, it suits you very well. It's very beautiful."

Zheng Xiujing said perfunctorily: "Don't be so conceited, let's go quickly, it's almost time for the appointment."

The front desk of JD.Entertainment seemed to be ready and led the Zheng sisters to the conference room on the fourth floor.

This was not the first time Zhou Yutang had met Jessica.

I vaguely remember that when I went to South Korea for an announcement, I saw Girls' Generation coming to greet me in the backstage lounge, and she was in the team.

A very quiet and cool girl.

Later, I also watched the performance of this icy beauty live.

The typhoon is very stable and very strong.

It was precisely because after the advance background check and various specific data analysis, she would probably be among the top three in the group's popularity ranking and might bring considerable profits to the company, so Zhou Yutang decided to take over the deal.

Today she is wearing a pure black low-necked base shirt, paired with a blue high-waisted denim skirt. She looks mature, simple and fashionable.

"What would you like to drink, coffee or juice?" Zhou Yutang said in English.

"Thank you, an iced Americano."

This iceberg beauty speaks fluent English.

After all, I have a green card and grew up in America, so there should be no problem in communication.

"What about you?"

"My name is Krystal Jung."

"I asked you what you wanted to drink."

".Just like her."

The pretty girl who originally looked quite aloof now looked shy and awkward, as if she had a little social anxiety: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We met in Heavenly Kingdom last time."

"You still remember me?" Krystal looked a little surprised.

"You are the youngest member of the Song Qian group."

Zhou Yutang has always had a good memory.

He remembered the members of Song Qian's function group, including Xue Li, and also the little Shui Jing who he had met at an event in China last time. He heard that she was his fan girl.

We had just sat down and talked for a few words when coffee was brought in.

Through Song Qian, Zhou Yutang led the entire conversation until the Zheng sisters were no longer so tense, and then he got to the point.
"Would your family like to come and listen to the contract?"

"my business."

Jessica Jung said firmly, "You can make the decision yourself."

"Why did you come here early?"

Zhou Yutang tapped his fingers rhythmically: "I've been waiting downstairs for so long, but you don't even come up?"

A smile suddenly appeared on the face of this icy beauty: "I don't want to be a burden to you."
