China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 601: Emperor's enjoyment, Lin Yuner's surprise

If you come too early, you will appear anxious.

Coming too late would be disrespectful to Zhou Yutang.

Neither of these two approaches is appropriate.

Jessica chose to come early and wait in the car.

Wait until the appointed time and go up on time, so that it won't be a burden to others.

Zhou Yutang held the coffee cup with one hand, his bony fingers resting on the rim of the white porcelain cup, like some kind of beautiful work of art.

He was not very familiar with Yoona's iceberg teammate, so he did not chat about anything else.

The topic mainly revolved around her contract. Jessica spoke first: "Although Yoona didn't say anything, I am very grateful to her. Otherwise, JD Company would not have contacted me on its own initiative, right?"

Zhou Yutang's expression was calm, still without any disturbance.

The metal spoon stirred gently with his fingers, and it made a crisp sound when it hit the wall of the coffee cup.

Although he didn't answer, his attitude said a lot. Jessica continued, "I'm sorry. If this will cause trouble to Yoona and you, then just pretend that I haven't been here today. It's my business, and there's no reason for you to bear the responsibility."

Oh wow, quite loyal.

Zhou Yutang's lips, of moderate thickness, lifted slightly at this moment, revealing a brilliant smile that dazzled the Iceberg sisters: "Yooner has told me the specific situation. What you are worried about is not a problem."

"If you have no value, we wouldn't be meeting today. We are just taking what we need. But I want to know what you want."

I don’t know if it’s because rich and powerful people are easy to trust, or if it’s Zhou Yutang’s innate personal charm.

Jessica pursed her lips, hesitated a little, and finally said what had been pent up in her heart for a long time.

Originally, they were close sisters who were very close to each other, but things turned sour when it came to renewing the contract with the S&M company.

Zhou Yutang looked like he was listening attentively, but in fact he was not very interested in knowing their internal affairs. His mind was just racing, weighing the pros and cons.

Zheng Xiujing looked up from time to time, secretly glanced at Zhou Yutang, and then quickly lowered her head again.

"That's right, Jessica."

Zhou Yutang took a sip of cold and bitter coffee and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to your company and talk to Lee Soo Man. As for the subsequent impact, you don't need to worry."

"I'm a little curious about why you want to sign your agency contract with JD. Of course, you don't have to answer."

"President Zhou, I want to be responsible for my own life."

Jessica pursed her lips, raised her head, and her cold eyes sparkled: "Until now, my life has only been lived as Jessica of Girls' Generation. From now on, I want to be Jessica Jung."

"Wow, sis, I never realized before that you could have such a handsome moment."

Coming out of the JD building, night fell in Seoul. Krystal looked back at the bright lights. Only then did she take off the mask of a cool lady and looked exceptionally lively.

She even deliberately imitated Jessica's tone and accent: "So far, my life has only been as Jessica from Girls' Generation. Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

"Yeah, do you want to die?"

Before she could finish her words, Jessica suppressed her with force.

In fact, Jessica is just a weakling. On the contrary, her younger sister Krystal inherited the excellent genes of her parents' athletes and has outstanding athletic ability.

But she just didn't resist.

Letting her angry sister mess up her hair was a reward for the important choice she made in her life today.

"Xiu-jung."

After playing around for a while, the Iceberg sisters started the car and left. At an intersection, they encountered a red light. Jessica's expression was a little confused:
"Do you think tomorrow will go well?"

"Please, how should I know?"

Krystal rolled her eyes unladylike and scrolled through her phone: "But I think he should be able to fulfill his promise. At least he deserves your trust."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Victoria trusts him very much, and I believe in her choice."

Jessica knew that her sister was talking about Song Qian.

A Chinese idol working in Korea.

However, when Jessica saw Krystal's eyes smiled into crescents when she mentioned Song Qian's name, she was still a little jealous.

Even older sisters don’t get this treatment.

But she also recognized Song Qian from the bottom of her heart and even admired her.

A Chinese person is extremely popular in the South Korean entertainment industry. She has experienced many hardships during her time there, and she almost raises little Krystal as her own daughter.

"Sister, look at this."

Krystal handed over her phone like she was offering a treasure.

The hot search headlines on major South Korean websites are all about Jack Ma and Zhou Yutang, with all kinds of flattering words that make people feel a little sick.

Jessica had heard of Jack Ma before.

This is the most successful businessman in China and has a strong influence worldwide.

In the latest "World's Top 200 Billionaires List" released by Bloomberg, Mr. Ma's personal assets exceed US$250 billion, ranking around 20th in the world.

You should know that the personal assets (not family assets) of the heads of South Korea's top chaebols, Samsung and Hyundai Motor, are only ranked outside the top 100.

Zhou Yutang did not appear on this list, but he has been vaguely mentioned as a possible hidden super-rich man in China.

Putting aside the part of his assets that he cannot confirm and count, just based on the obvious share assets, he is indeed not as good as those old Dengs on the list.

Each of these old men has accumulated wealth for at least several decades, with assets often amounting to hundreds of billions.

of course.

In terms of age, Zhou Yutang has a great advantage.

These old men are all very old. For example, the former chairman of Samsung was hospitalized due to myocardial infarction two months ago.

It is quite amazing that Zhou Yutang can achieve this level at his current age.

If we wait a few more years, maybe a group of old guys will die of old age.

Jessica handed the phone back and murmured, "What an amazing person."

look up.

Just then the green light at the intersection ahead came on.

This big and small iceberg stayed in JD company for half an hour and then left.

As for the results of today's communication, Jessica's performance surprised Zhou Yutang a little.

Judging from her expression and subtle movements, she was probably a little nervous, but she was very honest and had her own ideas.

Although it is not known whether she has the ability to support her ambition, not all idols have the courage to make such a desperate move.

Is this putting all your hopes on yourself?

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "Ni Ni, what's the schedule for tomorrow?"

"I'm going to visit Lee Ji-eun on the set of 'The Tomb Raider' this morning. I'm meeting Lee Soo-man in the afternoon. I'm going to have a date tomorrow night. I'm going back to Korea the day after tomorrow morning to attend the premiere of 'Heart Flower Road'."

Ni Ni didn't need to look at the itinerary, she had already memorized it.

The schedule for this exchange group is very tight. Teacher Ma has to fly back to China in the evening, and Zhou Yutang only has two days of it.

Time is tight, but there are a lot of things to do.

Zhou Yutang first held a meeting with the senior management of Jiangdong South Korea branch.

The branch has gone through the transfusion period of the past two years, and its overall operating conditions are currently stable and improving.

This year, Lee Ji-eun officially released her third album "Modern Times". The title song "My Past Story" successfully topped the charts of the top ten music websites in South Korea, including Melon, Mnet Music, and Soribada.

Her position as a top solo female singer is unshakable.

Wang Jiaer also made his successful debut as a member of a boy group.

"I was not used to it at first, but he was willing to put in the effort in singing and dancing, and now he performs well on stage."

After taking Wang Jiaer's profile and scanning it, Zhou Yutang instructed Pei Yun: "He can write songs by himself. You can try to train him to be a creative singer in the future. Go and say hello to the people from SBS and KBS. This is my person. Please take care of him when he appears on variety shows in the future."

Wang Jiaer is one of our own, and Zhou Yutang invited the industry’s top music teachers to teach him, and also specially sent him to JYP’s Gorilla for training.

The teachers spoke highly of his talent.

The current plan is to first accumulate certain stage experience through the boy band, and then appear on variety shows in both countries to attract popularity for him. The future is promising.

Zhou Yutang focused on the work report submitted by Min Xizhen.

The Tara girl group operated by Jiangdong Company has already earned back the money spent on buying out the contract.

The Crown girl group was criticized in South Korea in the past few years and fell from the peak to the bottom.

He was rescued by Zhou Yutang and achieved miraculous rebirth.

They are now part of the T1 girl group below Girls' Generation, but their popularity in China can compete with that of Girls' Generation, and they will also have a domestic concert tour this year.

According to fans, the Crown is also known as the Wanyan Group.

There are loli, mature sister, sexy long legs, pure sweet girl and so on.

There is a UP host named Master Qi on Bilibili who plays the Crown Group’s MV on a loop 24 hours a day and is quite popular.

Then there is the future girl group project.

Jiangdong Entertainment follows local customs, and its trainee department basically adopts the mature system of the South Korean entertainment industry.

According to the trainees' qualification evaluation, they are divided into classes of different levels such as ABCD. They are assessed every time to eliminate or upgrade.

It's just like raising a Gu.

The members who are able to survive for a few years and make it to the finals and finally debut successfully are all outstanding in their professional abilities.

Min Hee-jeong took Zhou Yutang into Class A's practice room to take a look.

The little koi has become more and more beautiful, with her hair tied into a cute ponytail. She dances to the rhythm of the music with Cheng Xiao, Kim Ji-soo and other trainees.

"hoo~hoo~hoo~hoo~"

“never ever ever never~~~”

Zhou Yutang watched for a while behind the screen in the cubicle
To be honest, among these trainees, Xiao Jinli's dancing is pretty average, at least not as beautiful as Cheng Xiao's.

But I found a good song.

Min Hee-jin was very good at reading people's expressions and explained, "This is the title song of Park Ji-yeon's first solo album from the group Tara this year. It ranked third on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart, which is a pretty good result."

The dance teacher of the trainees in Class A is Bae Yoon-jung, who was also Park Ji-yeon’s dancer in “One Second”.

Needless to say, Ni Ni memorized the title of the song. She knew Zhou Yutang's tastes very well and often played Tara's songs in the car.

Zhou Yutang didn't disturb the little koi either.

According to Min Hee-jin, Bae Yoon-jeong's demands are abnormally strict.

According to her request, they have to practice until at least 11 o'clock tonight. If any member performs poorly, they will be prepared to burn their youth until one or two in the morning.

Just practice cooking more.

Zhou Yutang agreed with this statement.

Jiangdong Entertainment's South Korean branch has a relatively simple business structure, aiming to operate a complete industrialized system and continuously export entertainment talents to China.

While having dinner at the hot pot restaurant, Zhou Yutang heard another interesting thing. China's Huale Entertainment, the company where Han Gen worked, also established a branch in South Korea this year and was considering operating a girl group.

But Zhou Yutang did not regard him as an opponent, as the resources that both sides could mobilize were completely at a different level.

He ate meat, and Huale could only follow behind and drink some soup.

When you are abroad, being able to eat hot pot is a very happy thing.

At least it was more to Zhou Yutang's liking than that high-end dinner.

As the dinner was almost over, Zhou Yutang received a call from An Zhongfan, who repeatedly invited him and said that he had plans in the evening.

It just so happened that Pei Yun and Li Shuang were enjoying some private time together, and Yoona wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Zhou Yutang was a bit bored, so he decided to go and experience the nightlife in South Korea.

An Zhongfan's identity was sensitive, so he did not show up himself. He asked Deputy Director Li, an old acquaintance of Zhou Yutang, to show up and find someone who was more playful to lead the way.
"Shengli, President Zhou is my honored guest, you must entertain him well."

"do not worry."

Lee Seung-ri from YG nodded and said, "We will definitely make arrangements to satisfy Chairman Zhou."

He never expected that the big shots would ask him to entertain Zhou Yutang.

This is definitely an opportunity for him.

As long as the task can be completed, there will naturally be benefits. If you cling to Zhou Yutang's thigh, you will take off on the spot.

Zhou Yutang felt sad.

This guy is a member of the popular Korean band Big Bang after all, so why does he look like a brothel madam?

However, it has come.

He wanted to try how deep the water was on this side of the country.

night.

On the streets of Jiangnan, neon lights flash with psychedelic and gorgeous lights.

Lee Seung-ri's nightclub is in a good location, right in the prime area of ​​Gangnam District.

Zhou Yutang entered the venue directly through the VIP channel and went directly to the private room on the second floor. Holding the railing, he overlooked the scene below through the one-way glass.

"President Zhou, um... Don't worry later."

Li Shengli specifically added: "The mobile phones of the girls who come in have been taken away. No filming is allowed. Whatever you want to do is fine."

Developed countries, so open?
Zhou Yutang put his legs on the coffee table, stretched out his body and looked relaxed, then he took out a cigarette.

pat.

Li Shengli immediately leaned forward and tried to cheer him up: "President Zhou, what style do you like?"

"There are many types of beauties in the store at night. Whether you like students, office ladies, hosts, teachers, or nurses, it's all fine. You are my most distinguished guest."

"Any type is fine?"

"No problem at all, it's their honor."

Li Shengli made a gesture, and his men brought two tablets, and the surveillance cameras were aimed at the women in the nightclub.

Zhou Yutang thought for a moment and roughly understood the routine.

For those women who come to nightclubs, it is difficult to refuse an invitation from a popular idol to have a drink in the VIP box.

As long as you walk into the box, you're doomed. They'll force you to drink and drug you, and take you away all at once.

Even after taking videos and photos, most women will not make it public.

Zhou Yutang looked at him as if he was looking at a stranger.

I originally thought that I was playing around with several people and my moral bottom line was a bit low, but I didn't expect there would be such a person.

However, Zhou Yutang does not have any sense of helping others, nor does he want to meddle in other people's affairs. At most, he will not work with this person to do anything that is harmful to the world.

"President, how about nightclubs in China?" Li Shengli was still trying to find a topic.

"It's not as good as your way of playing."

Zhou Yutang had accompanied Huang Xiaoming to nightclubs in Beijing several times before, but each time they just went there to watch the fun.

At that time, he was not yet extremely famous, but with his handsome face, he was attractive enough to attract many women, and many beautiful women threw themselves into his arms.

Zhou Yutang always kept himself under control.

He was only interested in making progress, so he didn't care about those mediocre women.

Those women who come to nightclubs are a mixed bunch, who knows if they are clean or not?

"President, from now on you will be my super VIP. As long as you ask, I will arrange everything for you and let you experience the enjoyment of an emperor."

Lee Seungri continued to lick him humbly: "There are many members of boy bands there, and they often come here to play. Do you have any type that you like?"

Feeling sad about the darkness of the Korean entertainment industry, Zhou Yutang threw the tablet aside and asked, "Are there any trainees?"

"Our company's trainees can be arranged immediately."

Li Shengli became excited instantly.

The phone vibrated, Zhou Yutang lowered his head to reply to Yoona's message, then looked at Lee Seungri, who had already stood up and called someone.
"Ani ah Saiyo."

Soon, the YG trainees that Lee Seung-ri brought stood in front of Zhou Yutang.

Yg company is planning to launch a girl group. These are the trainees who have been selected as the reserve team for YG's future girl group. They must have good figures and their looks are at least above average.

Especially under the atmospheric lighting, a girl who scores 7 points can at least achieve an effect of 8.5 points.

Some girls looked nervous, while others boldly looked at Zhou Yutang curiously and even flirted with him.

"Brother, this is a trainee from our company's reserve girl group."

The title has been upgraded from "President" to "Brother", and Li Shengli feels that his network management is about to usher in victory.

"Jinnie Kim, Lisa, Han Seo Hee"

"You're all adults, right?"

"These girls are all the reserve members of the company's future girl group. They are all adults."

Li Shengli lowered his voice and said, "Brother, if you like someone younger, I have a way."

Give birth to life. Give birth to life.

Speaking of YG girl group, Zhou Yutang became interested.

Jiangdong will also have a girl group plan in the future, and YG company is also considered a rival. The person standing in front of us may very well be the rival of Jiangdong girl group in the future.

It's always good to know yourself and your enemy, and to understand the situation better.

Lee Seung-ri is trying hard to introduce Kim Jenny and Han Seo-hee.

Both of them are rich Korean girls who love to have fun, but they don’t fit Zhou Yutang’s aesthetic.

The other Lisa is from Thailand, with the typical Southeast Asian girl looks, with a big mouth when she smiles, and a bit of wild feeling.

Zhou Yutang observed the situation and had an idea in his mind.

Judging from the appearance alone, they are definitely not as good as the Jiangdong girl group.

Xiao Koi and Kim Ji-soo, Cheng Xiao and Sakura Girl, who have basically confirmed their debut, either have very good looks or have special skills in singing, dancing and variety shows.

That’s all YG is?

No, YG does have something.

The beautiful lady named Han Ruixi stroked her palm when shaking hands just now.

Although he is young, he knows a lot of tricks.

Zhou Yutang ignored her. He felt the admiration of his sisters for a while and watched them dance. Then he became a little bored:
"You didn't force them?"

"Brother, I just sent a message, and they came here on their own."

Li Shengli smiled and said, "You are so charming. I think they all like you. Do you want to drink some more wine with them?"

His flattery was not very clever, and it didn't matter whether it was true or not. Zhou Yutang waved his hand:

"Forget it, let them go back."

"what?"

Li Shengli was slightly stunned: "Brother, why don't you play with them for a while?"

"no need."

Zhou Yutang shook his head.

He just wanted to see the quality of YG's prospective girl group members.

Now it seems that the advantage is on me.

Lee Seung-ri next to him was a little confused.

Weren’t we just chatting happily?
Shouldn't we drink some wine next, get the atmosphere right, and then everything will fall into place.

But Zhou Yutang didn't play by the rules at all.

Li Shengli didn't quite understand Zhou Yutang's thoughts and didn't dare to ask more.

People in this line of work have to be tactful, so I had to ask someone to call a taxi to send them back.

Of course, the little prince of nightclubs still has a way.

It's so hard to meet such a super big shot, a god who can even call the wind and rain in Hollywood, I must lick him well.

Maybe he has a project to start, or other opportunities for cooperation, which can help him take himself to the next level in this circle.

However, Zhou Yutang, who suddenly received a call from Yoona, didn't have the patience to play with him anymore, so he withdrew at the right time.

“I really can’t tell.”

Ni Ni watched Li Shengli walk all the way to the parking lot, bowed humbly and waved, and listened to Zhou Yutang talk about what happened in the nightclub just now, with some emotion:
"I had a high school best friend who used to like him. If she knew he was this kind of person, she would probably be shocked."

"Tell your bestie to be careful. This kind of person will be ruined sooner or later."

"Boss, how do you know?"

"He thought that by building his network of contacts, he was qualified to sit at the table and become a chess player, but he didn't realize that when someone wanted to use him, he would be a discarded pawn."

Looking at Zhou Yutang's stern face as he lowered his head to send a message, Ni Ni nodded thoughtfully.

An idol who looks glamorous and high above everyone else.

In front of power, he is like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

Lin Yoona had already learned about what happened to Jessica at JD Company tonight, and suddenly rushed back to Seoul from Jeju Island to give Zhou Yutang a surprise.

But when she arrived at Zhou Yutang's room in the Shilla Hotel, she felt a little embarrassed.

After she opened the door, she didn't have time to say anything or react before Zhou Yutang dragged her over.

He turned around and pushed her against the entrance.

The two couldn't help but look at each other, and a thin thread seemed to be pulled out in their eyes.

Lin Yuner, who is as pure as a little deer, still has impeccable appearance. Zhou Yutang can even feel the warm and sweet breath she exhales.
"Oppa, carry me and take a bath."
