China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 613: The Grand Commander has a conscience, but not much

The capital city is so big that it is full of hidden talents and there are countless delicious restaurants.

Zhou Yutang had never been to this private restaurant of a famous Huaibei chef located on the East Fourth Ring Road of Beijing.

But Li Xin said that the taste is excellent and she often comes here for dinner with her girlfriends.

Zhou Yutang didn’t know whether the taste was good or not, but the environment was indeed nice.

After renovation, the courtyard house incorporates the ancient charm of Jiangnan, which is eye-catching.

The still charming proprietress, speaking with a northern Jiangsu accent, came out personally to entertain guests with great enthusiasm.

She naturally knew Zhou Yutang.

I'm afraid there are very few people in the Celestial Empire who don't know the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Jiangsu Province is also known as the bulk province, and the north and the south look down on each other. But no matter whether people from southern or northern Jiangsu, when they talk about Zhou Yutang, they will give him a thumbs up with pride.

It was just that this capable proprietress had seen the moment when Li Xin and Zhou Yutang walked in together.

There was a moment of surprise.

The trembling pupils and slightly excited expression all released certain information:

It turns out that the gossip was true, you two are really in love! ?
They are a perfect match, really.

After satisfying the proprietress's request for a photo, Zhou Yutang successfully entered the box.

Li Xin was probably a little embarrassed by the boss lady's excessive enthusiasm and auntie smile, and explained with a blushing face: "Boss, the dishes made by the boss of this restaurant are really delicious. I have eaten here several times, and the prices are not expensive. But I don't know why, the business is not very good."

"Even good wine needs a bush."

Zhou Yutang smiled and unpacked the tableware: "It's not popular now, but it may not be popular in the future. Maybe next time we come, we won't have a seat."

When he came in just now, Zhou Yutang was wearing a mask and a hat, but he keenly observed that several passers-by seemed to recognize him.

His eyes were filled with a mixture of surprise and excitement, and he subconsciously took out his cell phone.

Once the photos are uploaded to the Internet, there will definitely be a large number of fans coming to check in.

The roadside stalls that Zhou Yutang and Gao Yuanyuan ate at in Chengdu have all become popular check-in spots for internet celebrities.

The two were chatting while the proprietress served the dishes quickly. The first dish served was a famous Yancheng dish, beef with vegetables.

The cooked beef is marinated in sauce and fried with a secret water-ground chili sauce. It has a salty and slightly spicy taste and is garnished with lush green vegetables. It looks very appetizing to eat with rice.

It's a pity that the timing is not right. This dish would be perfect only when the Shanghai green is frosted in the twelfth lunar month.

Then, several dishes such as shredded radish with black seeds, stewed vegetables, taro and shrimp soup were placed on the table one after another.

Li Xin held his cheeks with both hands, and saw Zhou Yutang swept away everything in his path, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with satisfaction.
"Start moving, what are you looking at?"

"Ah."

Compared to Zhou Yutang's bold and open eating style, Li Xin's eating style is much more ladylike.

He put a small mouthful of rice into his mouth and ate a piece of beef, chewing it at least thirty times before swallowing it.

After eating and drinking, the proprietress refused to take the money, so Li Xin secretly put 500 yuan under the plate, which was more than enough.

"where to?"

"Can you go to the movies with me?"

Li Xin raised his head, as if he had finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

"Come on, which one do you want to watch?"

"The boss must have watched "My Lucky Star" many times."

"Not much, maybe seven or eight times?"

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

Li Xin had a slight smile on his face as he scrolled through the Maoyan app on his phone: "Then let's watch 'Gone Girl'."

"can."

Zhou Yutang nodded and sent a message to Ni Ni.

Notify the manager of your own cinema to arrange the showtime.

I had wanted to watch the martial arts film "A Man's Martial Arts" that Bao Qie had been longing for for a long time, but it premiered today and will not be released in theaters until two days later.

"Gone Girl", directed by David Fincher and selected by Li Xin, was released in North America only last month and received rave reviews.

The media on the other side of the ocean all agree that this is a strong contender for this year's Oscars.

Driving an inconspicuous black Cayenne, we soon arrived at the cinema not far from the dinner place.

We entered through the VIP channel and the cinema manager arranged a couples' room for us.

There are only Zhou Yutang and Li Xin.

Batman is not in Gotham punishing criminals, but begins to compete with his wife in wits and courage.

His wife is even more amazing. She has been a child prodigy with a dazzling halo since childhood, and her life has been easy for her.

She was very careful and after realizing that her husband was cheating on her, she planned a fake death.

The whole story is thrilling and exciting, with various twists and turns, and the content is also very profound.

Zhou Yutang was watching intently when suddenly a flash of inspiration came into his mind.

A seemingly gentle and beautiful, but actually scheming, crazy and critical wife takes revenge on a cheating husband.

With this as the core, I made a TV script, which might sound a bit scary, but I expect it will be a very interesting story.

He does what he thinks and writes down his ideas on his phone.

Li Xin glanced at Zhou Yutang.

It is said that serious and focused men are the most attractive. At this moment, his perfect and cold profile undoubtedly has the magic to make a girl's heart beat.

Li Xin looked at Zhou Yutang's phone and gradually immersed himself in it. When he saw him stop, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's next?"

“There is nothing below for the time being.”

Zhou Yutang simply wrote down the fragments of inspiration and had a rough outline of the story.

The specific characters and complete plot will be handed over to Jiangdong Entertainment's creative center and gradually improved.

The movie ended. It was great, but there was no applause.

Because there were only two people in the theater, Li Xin came out and talked about the plot excitedly.

She was very interested in the actress in the film, a blonde white woman whose name was Rosamund Pike in the subtitles: "Boss, is she mixed race?"

"No."

Zhou Yutang once met this very elegant actress at a dinner party in Hollywood.

Fair skin, beautiful face and long legs.

Produced with the authentic British Union Jack.

Many names of European and American celebrities are transliterated by the media in China.
This actress, whose original name is Rosamund, is a bit eccentric.

She felt that this was disrespectful to Chinese audiences, so she asked her husband, who had a deep understanding of Chinese culture, to give her a meaningful name. She can also speak a few words in Chinese.

"Oh I see."

After listening to Zhou Yutang's words quietly, Li Xin said enviously, "Her acting skills are really good."

"It's very good."

Zhou Yutang smiled gently: "Maybe I'll have a chance to win an Oscar this year."

He also has a business in Hollywood, and Zou Zhongyan reports to him regularly.

So I know a lot about what's going on in Hollywood.

Batman's performance in this film is very solid, but he is just a supporting role to complement Rosamund Pike.

After the movie, Li Xin seemed to have something to say, so Zhou Yutang took her to a leisure club with good privacy.

Li Xin came out today, obviously dressed up carefully.

With her black long hair and light makeup on, her eyes and teeth appear brighter and her skin is smooth and plump, as white as snow.

She was wearing a knee-length skirt, a pair of high heels on her slender white legs, and her handbag was held in front of her, making her look taller and more beautiful.

In early November, the temperature in Beijing suddenly dropped at night.

The way she is dressed, she has style, but her beauty is a little chilling.

Zhou Yutang couldn't bear to see it, so he put his windbreaker on her. Li Xin felt warm all over, and even warmer in her heart. She raised her little face and smiled gracefully:
"Thank you, boss."

"Is there something you want me to do today?"

"what?"

After being reminded by Zhou Yutang, Li Xin remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something. He blinked innocently, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and lowered his head again.

Her beautiful cheeks were filled with worry, and her slender white fingers were twisted together.

obviously.

Since her debut, she has had a big tree protecting her. She is not the type to ask others for help, and she has no experience in this area.
After hesitating for a long time, he spoke in a low voice: "It's Zhang Tianai, you may have forgotten."

"I used to share a dormitory with you and Xiao Zhao, right?"

"Boss, do you still remember?"

Li Xin's eyes were a little surprised and a little delighted: "She is currently auditioning for the role of Princess Consort. I don't know if she can pass it. I haven't been able to sleep for several nights."

"So she asked you to help intercede?"

"Um, not really."

Li Xin stroked the hair beside his ear unnaturally: "I want to ask for her, is there a chance?"

It was indeed difficult to lie, but I couldn't say that I wanted to take this opportunity to see him.

"You guys have a good relationship?"

"It's OK. When we were in college, we often attended classes, rehearsed, and went shopping together. Zhang Jiao worked very hard. After graduation, everyone was busy with their own things, so we had fewer opportunities to meet. We only chatted in the group, but when we were free, we would occasionally make plans to go out for dinner and singing together."

"Well, I see."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "Let's take a look when we get back."

"Thank you, boss."

Li Xin, who had put aside his worries, had clear eyes and a pure smile.

“Don’t keep saying thank you.”

Zhou Yutang said nonchalantly: "I didn't promise anything. In the end, it all depends on her ability."

When doing a project, profit is definitely the top priority. If Zhang Tianai meets the requirements, Zhou Yutang wouldn't mind giving her a chance.

After all, he is a company employee, so the benefits won’t go to outsiders.

"I know."

Li Xin looked down at his feet.

I lagged behind slightly, and looked up from time to time at the tall and straight figure in front of me, who was only wearing a white shirt.

I don't know where the impulse came from, and I put it into action. Before Zhou Yutang turned around, Li Xin hugged him from behind:
"Boss, lend me a hug, just for a few minutes."

The bright moonlight fell on earth, entangled with the quiet and gentle night breeze. The original artistic conception was quite beautiful, but it was completely destroyed by Zhou Yutang after more than ten seconds:

"How many minutes do you want to hold me for?"

Li Xin blushed and let go, wrapped in his windbreaker, and murmured, "Boss, don't always be so nice to girls. It's easy to make people feel troubled."

"???"

A question mark appeared on Zhou Yutang's face. He didn't feel like he was flirting with a girl.

"I am very happy tonight."

Li Xin suddenly pulled Zhou Yutang's arm and said with a smile: "Let's go back."

On the way to send her home, Li Xin spoke very little and Zhou Yutang was driving attentively.

The music in the car was "Southern Girl", a niche folk song.

"In a northern village, there lived a southern girl. She always liked to stand by the road in a flowery skirt~~~"

"She doesn't talk much, but her smile is so calm and elegant. Her gentle eyes are filled with sadness of missing you~~~"

Zhou Yutang liked this niche singer named Zhao Xiaolei very much, and sent him to Fanyue Community with ease.

As a popular young star in the entertainment industry, Li Xin has already bought houses in her hometown and Beijing, and lives in the same community as Nazha.

"arrive."

"Boss, would you like to come up for tea?"

"Who drinks tea so late at night?"

Zhou Yutang laughed: "Not going to sleep anymore?"

"Oh."

Li Xin responded, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car reluctantly, but he did not forget to remind him, "Boss, drive slowly on the way back."

The person had left, but the car seemed to still be filled with the fragrance of Li Xin. Zhou Yutang opened the car window.

I wanted to smoke after a long time, but I couldn't find the cigarette box after groping in the car for a long time.

I remember that they were clearly there, but Miss Liu might have confiscated them during a surprise inspection.

After calling Wang Qiang who was following behind, Zhou Yutang moved to the back seat.

Brother Qiang is a smoker, usually smoking about a pack a day.

Zhou Yutang turned his head and lit a cigarette, puffing out white mist. He stretched his hand out of the car window, the spark of the cigarette butt burning quietly between his fingers.

"Brother Qiang, are sister-in-law and Xiaoqiang used to living in the capital?"

"Boss, thanks to you, Xiaoqiang was admitted to No. 101 Middle School. Everything is fine at home." "Xiaoqiang has good grades and will definitely have a bright future."

Hearing this, the wrinkles on Wang Qiang's simple face smoothed out as he smiled.

A man from the countryside joined the army, then entered the society and struggled hard, and fortunately met Zhou Yutang.

I have been his bodyguard until now.

He helped his parents build a grand townhouse in his hometown, and with the help of his boss, he bought a house in Beijing and brought his wife and children over.

Wang Qiang is very satisfied with his life and is full of gratitude to Zhou Yutang.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is willing to take a bullet for his boss if necessary.

Sometimes, men are just that simple.

We were chatting in the car, and before we had even finished smoking, the light in Li Xin's room came on, and she sent a WeChat message:
"Boss, good night, Moon Expression."

"Good night."

Zhou Yutang sent a message to ask Wang Qiang to start the car. He turned his head to look at the scene outside the car and quickly retreated to the back.

Start to reflect on yourself intermittently.

There must be nothing wrong with his emotional intelligence.

He has also realized that his relationship with Li Xin seems to have crossed the line.

It was probably a kind of ambiguity that hadn't been revealed yet, just a little bit away from causing a huge rift.

Zhou Yutang had extraordinary self-control and was able to control himself in the end.

Although Li Xin was the candidate for daughter-in-law that Queen Mother Wang initially favored, Zhou Yutang just thought it was a joke and did not take it seriously.

Zhou Yutang had no idea when he was nice to her. He only remembered that sometimes he couldn't manage his time well and even forgot to reply to her messages.
There are a group of fish in the fish pond, and the moral bottom line is a bit low.

The Grand Commander gave his remaining conscience to this foolish fellow villager who was defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars by a liar.
"Zhang Tianai (real name Zhang Jiao)."

"Photo.jpg"

"She has played the third female role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Swordsman", "The 36 Stratagems of Love: The End of the War", the second female role in "The Best Time", and the second female role in "Heroes of Tongbai"..."

Lin Liang was very efficient and had submitted the progress report on "The Princess" by the evening.

Zhou Yutang's gaze stayed on the photo on the tablet screen for about ten seconds.

He has always had a good memory and had some impression of this girl.

After guest-starring in two Jiangdong-themed dramas, before being recruited by Yang Tianzhen, she worked alone and played the second and third female roles in several TV dramas that sounded like flops as soon as the names were heard.

Situations like Zhang Tianai's are the norm in the entertainment industry.

Without the support of a big boss behind the scenes, without a bunch of film and television resources to provide, and without marketing press releases, it is ultimately a low probability event to become an overnight sensation.

But at least she tried hard enough.

Just looking at her figure in the photo, she must have undergone extremely rigorous training.

There was a sound of water splashing in the bathroom, and Liu Yifei was still taking a shower.

Zhou Yutang spent a few minutes reading the report and dialed Lin Liang's number: "I've read the report. Zhang Tianai's conditions are not bad. Ask Director Liang. If he has no objection, then we can decide."

"Also, don't worry too much when you do things."

"Mr. Zhou, I understand."

This evening.

Eliminated Zhou Yutang who went to the fairyland again.

Many people didn't sleep well.

After receiving the news, Zhou Shufang tossed and turned all night.

Yang Tianzhen immediately passed the good news to Zhang Tianai and asked:

"Xiao Ai, how is your relationship with Li Xin?"

"It's pretty good." Zhang Tianai was still a little dazed and hadn't digested the surprise yet.

"Then you should thank her very much. She helped a lot in this matter."

"Well, Sister Yang, I know."

"It's good to know the number."

Yang Tianzhen advised earnestly: "If you have nothing else to do, go to bed early and stay in good shape. This is a project that the big boss has specifically asked you to do. You must seize the opportunity. Director Liang will hold a script reading session soon."

"Sister Yang."

Zhang Tianai said solemnly: "I will definitely not let you down."

She remained calm on the surface, but the rapid rise and fall of her big bear betrayed that her heart was surging like the tide.
"Jiangdong Entertainment's movie viewing event has sky-high prices. "Joy of Life 2" will be broadcast in Shanghai and Blueberry TV, aiming to be the best drama of the year!"

"Sun Li rushed to Beijing for an audition. The leading actress of "Legend of Miyue" may have been chosen. LeTV will start a war of film and television IPs!"

"Jiangdong Entertainment and Bilibili jointly produced the online drama "Go Princess Go", with Zhang Tianai as the heroine, and she will play with popular young actors Li Jian and Yang Yang!"

The film and television industry in early November was as cold and deserted as the weather in Beijing. However, after a few pieces of news came out, the industry exploded again.

The film viewing event in Jiangdong was not closed in nature. After all, more than a dozen TV stations sent senior executives from the film purchasing departments and people from video platforms.

There were dozens of people in total.

Of course there must be a traitor inside.

Some of them were press releases issued by Jiangdong’s public relations department, aimed at muddying the waters.

Netizens are extremely curious about how much money Zhou Yutang made, but unfortunately Jiang Dong did not announce the specific price of "Joy of Life 2" to the public.

But everyone in the industry knows that Shanghai TV and Blueberry TV have already announced that they will compete with Mango TV's "Empress Wu Zetian".

"Brother Chao, there's no need to say thank you. I just mentioned to Director Zheng that it all depends on Sister Li's own strength."

Zhou Yutang received a call from Deng Chao, but he didn't take his thanks to heart: "I also want to thank you on behalf of Yuner for taking care of her on the set."

"It's as it should be. It's just a small matter. Yoona is very polite."

Deng Chao laughed heartily and said, "I heard you have a guest appearance in a play, when will you come over?"

"There are a lot of things going on right now. It will take some time after the Bazaar dinner."

"Okay then, let's talk about it when we meet in the crew."

After hanging up the phone, Deng Chao called Sun Li again and reported the call in detail.

"Well, well done. Producer Cao Ping just sent me a message asking me to sign the contract tomorrow."

"So fast?!"

"Boss Zhou has already spoken, so Director Zheng must give him this favor."

Sun Li said with emotion: "We owe a big favor this time."

Although this S-level project, which is comparable to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", has not yet been officially launched, it has already been targeted by big stars in the circle.

It is very difficult for Sun Li to get the role.

You are Princess Hairun, and the big girls like Huayi also have backgrounds. There are undercurrents and battles behind the scenes.

No wonder those big names are thinking about it.

Zeng Li benefited from the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and became a top-tier actress. People in the circle call her "Empress". Who wouldn't be envious?

"Wife, Yu Tang has a lot of face."

Deng Chao coughed lightly and began to take credit: "But your husband, I also have the credit for recommending you."

"Deadly."

Sun Li's voice was filled with joy: "I'll reward you when you finish filming and go home, but why do you want me to take care of Lin Yuner?"

"You know her relationship with Yu Tang."

Deng Chao only said half of his words. There was a tacit understanding between husband and wife, and Sun Li understood instantly: "So it's true."

"What else do you think? Yesterday I heard someone send a voice message to Zhou Yutang, saying something like Oppa Oppa. It gave me goose bumps."

"Oppa." Sun Li suddenly pinched her throat and started to clamp.

"Wife, please be normal. I'm so scared."

"Virtue, isn't that what you men like?"

"Love O2O" has finished broadcasting, and the average viewership ratings of the finale finally exceeded 2.

But this is not the end, the subsequent heat is still continuing.

The exclusive online playback volume of Bilibili exceeded 80 billion, and there were more than 200 hot search topics on Weibo alone.

Guli Nazha is so popular that her commercial announcements are scheduled until after the New Year. She has firmly established herself as a top-tier "90s flower".

Chen Xiao also caught this wave of traffic and became another most popular young actor in the Jiangdong faction after Zhu Yilong and Zhang Ruojun.

Even Yang Zi, who played the heroine's best friend, attracted a large number of fans.

Of course, the influence of the hit drama is not limited to this. The "Alluring City" launched by Xingchen Games has also become unprecedentedly popular, and has made it into the top 3 of the App Store's free list and the top 3 of the best-selling list.

In the film market, the smoke of the National Day period has cleared, and "Lost in Thailand", which has been extended, continues to move towards 15 billion.

The box office performance of Yinghuang's "One Man's Martial Arts" on the first day was not very satisfactory.

The team of Wang Baoqi + Zhen Zidan + Wen Yongshan + Bai Bin only reported 22 million on the first day, which is shocking.

"Bao Qie is such a good actor"

Zhou Yutang took time out to accompany his good sister Reba to watch a movie.

It completely subverted the audience's previous perception of Wang Baoqi.

In the past, Sha Gen, Xu Sanduo, and Mr. Shu were all simple and naive.

In this movie, Feng Yuxiu, who is obsessed with martial arts, gets crazy and violent, making people worry that he will kill Yuzhou Dan.
Over the years, Bazaar has always been the first to send invitations to Zhou Yutang.

Whether he comes or not depends entirely on his schedule and mood.

Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are not here this year, and the long-lost teacher Fan sent a connection request, so Zhou Yutang is naturally not afraid of a fight.

Outside the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing.

A red carpet dozens of meters long was pulled up early in the morning.

On both sides were reporters from various media outlets who had come to stake out the situation.

Watching stars like Yao Chen, La Ying, Feng Shaofeng, Wu Yifan, Li Yuchun, Xu Jinglei, Huang Xiaoming, Qin Lan, Shu Qi and more walk on the red carpet.

The stars are shining and many big names are gathered.

The huge crowds of media and fans at the scene were immediately excited.

Some people took out their mobile phones, while others raised various cameras and equipment and took pictures non-stop.

"Wow, Song Hye Kyo, Song Hye Kyo is here too!"

"Who else hasn't arrived?"

"Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, Zhou Yutang."

"Shit, why is there a traffic jam?"

When Zhou Yutang and Ni Ni arrived, the car stopped and the Bazaar staff were terrified.

Soon even Su Mang came over in her high heels to apologize, saying that there was a small temporary problem.

Then Teacher Fan called and started to speak in a coquettish tone that gave Ni Ni goosebumps: "Honey, I've been bullied."

She is the rich lady Fan Ye, but now in front of Zhou Yutang, she looks like a concubine seeking favor.

"Who dares to bully you, Teacher Fan?"

"Su Mang deliberately put Zhang Ziyi in front of me. I can't swallow this." Teacher Fan, who is good at acting, said pitifully.

"So you're waiting in the car, ready to outlast me?"

Zhou Yutang leaned back in the leather seat, his posture relaxed and comfortable.

In such occasions, the order and time of stars' appearance are fixed.

Su Mang's arrangement this time was to put her best friend Zhang Ziyi, with whom she was very close, behind Teacher Fan.

These two big stars are old rivals. They had a direct quarrel on the show a few years ago and almost came to a fight.

Zhang Ziyi has been gaining momentum internationally recently, and Gong Er has won all the domestic film awards, both big and small. Wu Baige's Oriental Titanic will be released soon.

He shows his affection with Wang Banbi from time to time, gaining enough exposure, and he is also having a hot relationship with Su Mang, just to overshadow Teacher Fan.

Teacher Fan was not the type to suffer a loss, so he stopped the car far away, put up the international seal, and called for external help.

"Dear, if you help me this time, I will promise you anything."

After Teacher Fan made a series of unequal conditions, Zhou Yutang reluctantly nodded.

Send a message to Su Mang directly.

Soon, Zhang Ziyi walked onto the red carpet with a gloomy face.

She dared to challenge Fan Binbin, but she didn't have the courage to challenge the Governor of Jiangdong.

Teacher Fan wore a strapless milky white diamond-studded dress today and carried a Louis Vuitton diamond-patterned handbag. Her hairstyle was similar to that of the ladies in the Republic of China, with delicate, slightly curly hair.

Her thickly painted red lips parted slightly, making her look charming and beautiful.

When he saw Zhou Yutang, he gave her an unreserved hug of love, which triggered thunderous screams and cheers from the audience.

Teacher Fan saw the opportunity quickly and hugged Ni Ni, who was wearing a suit and skirt next to her, so it didn't seem so deliberate.

"Let's go."

Facing countless cameras and flashes of light, Zhou Yutang remained calm and composed as he walked onto the red carpet with two beauties on his left and right.

It is truly a beautiful sight.
