China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 628: Helping Brothers, Golden Ball Losers, Turning to Victoria's Secret Supermodel Show
have to say.

Chen Kaige’s presence is indeed impressive.

The news that "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" had passed the review caused a small shock in the domestic film and television industry.

"Boss, is this okay?"

Ni Ni was a little angry.

"normal."

Zhou Yutang held a mobile phone in each hand and sent messages to Liu Shishi, Liu Tianxian and others.

Liu Shishi has already joined the crew and started training. She has a lot of martial arts scenes in "Assassins 2", so she has to undergo special training under the guidance of a teacher.

Liu Tianxian and Zhou Gongzi had a blast at Hong Kong Disneyland and made the headlines.

"But the higher-ups have already issued a red-letter document."

"Rules are made by people."

Zhou Yutang said calmly without even raising his head: "Poet Chen is a big name in the Beijing circle, and he has deep connections."

Prince Long will soon go to court for a public trial, and Brother Chen Kai doesn't want to cut his scenes.

Therefore, "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" passed the review in such a low-key manner. This is the influence of a famous family.

"Boss, what circle are you in?"

“I don’t mix in circles.”

The calm voice created ripples in Ni Ni's heart.

Her eyes swept across Zhou Yutang's clear jaw and his tall nose, rippling with an inexplicable glow.

Whether it is the Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, or Hong Kong circle.
It seems that nothing matters in front of his boss.

In the past, when she looked at men, she paid more attention to appearance and talent, but now she has been with Zhou Yutang for a long time.

No matter how handsome a guy is, Ni Ni feels nothing for him. Instead, she thinks power and status are the most gorgeous outer garments for a man.

Compared to the connections that Brother Chen Kai has accumulated through his family background.

Zhou Yutang built his empire entirely from scratch and gradually formed the prototype of an entertainment dynasty, which undoubtedly had a fatal attraction to women.

After taking a look at the ratings and comments of the still popular "Joy of Life 2", in the competition for TV screens at the beginning of the year, after Teacher Fan was suppressed by the harmony beast, there is no suspense that "Joy of Life 2" will be crowned the champion.

As subsequent public opinion spread, the new media index exploded and the situation became stable and improving.

After arranging the work at hand, Zhou Yutang took time out and flew to the other side of the ocean.

The long flight in the air, with the company of a beautiful woman and WiFi, I didn’t feel lonely at all.

When the plane landed, Zou Zhongyan and his team were waiting there. Bob, with his bearded face and a pair of sunglasses, was also there and gave a warm hug.

"Hi Zhou, I missed you."

In fact, the two had just met in November. Lao Deng ate Peking duck and visited the Great Wall in Beijing, and even learned a few words in Chinese.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhou Yutang looked at Old Deng curiously.

He was found looking towards his entourage.

"Zhou, I'm going to take you to a fun place this time."

Bob found that only Ni Ni was there. Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi were not there, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Walter?"

"You came just in time."

Bob couldn't contain his excitement: "There will be a private party in a few days, and all the supermodels from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be there."

"Wait, didn't the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show take place in London in December?"

"NINI, you are such a beautiful and wise girl."

Bob was no stranger to Ni Ni, as she had been accompanying Zhou Yutang for the past two years. He smiled and said, "This is not a formal show, but an invitation-only private party for Hollywood bigwigs. I think you should understand."

"Ok."

Ni Ni smoothed the hair beside her ears.

"Behind the Golden Globe Awards?" Zhou Yutang was a little curious.

"Yeah, Zhou."

Lao Deng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Knowing you were coming, I've already secured a special invitation seat. We can go together and see what the Victoria's Secret supermodels are like."

Evil capitalism.

The sugar-coated bullet came so violently.

As a well-educated young man from China, Zhou Yutang wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, Ni Ni beside him moved a little and asked quietly, "Miranda Kerr, will she come too?"

"Yeah yeah yeah."

"Why are you more excited than me?" Zhou Yutang glanced at him.

"Boss, this is a rare opportunity."

Ni Ni put her hands together like a cat, begging, "I want to see the Victoria's Secret supermodel up close, please, please."

"Let's talk about it after we finish our work."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly, thinking of something: "When the time comes, please help me make an appointment with that person. I want to talk to him about the project."

Zou Chongyan was listening nearby and didn't find it strange at all.

She has lived in America for many years and has seen how extravagant Hollywood is.

There is nothing you can't do, only you can't think of it.

It is not impossible for an entertainment tycoon with Zhou Yutang's wealth to choose concubines every day.

Some people indulge in more extravagant activities and even buy private islands, where they live lavishly and enjoy themselves like emperors.

I went to my own company first, and the revenue shares from several movies this year have arrived one after another.

I have to say, US dollars are really good.

Then I watched the finished film "Fifty Shades of Grey" which will be released in theaters next month.

Very pornographic and violent.

Ni Ni originally thought that she was open-minded enough.

But after watching this movie, I realized that I was still too conservative.

Can you still play like this?
Zhou Yutang stood in the perspective of God and overlooked the whole movie.

There are indeed many flaws, such as empty plots and monotonous scenes, but the original work is like this and is more inclined towards stream of consciousness.

But the biggest highlight of this kind of movie is not the plot, but the exciting feeling after starting from the body, facing desires, and breaking taboos.

This is not just soft porn.

In any case, there is absolutely no possibility of releasing it in China, but according to the market research conducted in advance, many audiences in Europe and the United States will buy into this idea.

"Warner will increase its online media promotion efforts. If all goes well, the sequel to Fifty Shades Darker can also be scheduled..."

Bob stroked his beard and was very satisfied with the final result.

"Just follow the original plan."

After reviewing the publicity plan, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

The Golden Globe Awards is a precursor to the Oscars, and before that, there will inevitably be cocktail parties and social events.

There was a cocktail party that night, and it was quite lively. Zhou Yutang and James Wan hadn't seen each other for a while, and they were still as old friends when they met again.

The release date for "Fast & Furious 7" has been set. It will be released on April 4 in North America, and probably during the Qingming Festival in China.

"James, I wish you success."

Zhou Yutang smiled gently: "I have a feeling that this movie may create the pinnacle of your directing career."

"Thank you, Zhou. I hope I can borrow your good words."

The two chatted about James Wan's next project, "The Conjuring 2".

This wonderful combination of Asian faces stood out throughout the entire cocktail party.

One is a rising Hollywood horror master, and the other is an Eastern entertainment tycoon who is at the peak of his career and is known in the industry as a Hollywood money-printing machine.

"Zhou, you're so popular. I guess we have to talk another time."

Scarlett Johansson was the first to arrive. She had just seen Olsen off and saw Anne Hathaway and Zhou Yutang hugging each other affectionately. James Wan joked.

Zhou Yutang touched his nose.

He was also helpless.

I don’t know if it’s Scarlett Johansson, Olsen or Anne Hathaway, but the perfume smell is a bit strong today, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Hollywood star Blake Lively came over again with a glass of wine.

The enthusiastic and unrestrained foreign horses made Zhou Yutang the center of attention at the cocktail party. Even the popular Leonardo came over to say hello.

"He's crazy about winning the award."

The fat guy Harvey teased, and Zhou Yutang also chuckled.

It has to be said that Leonardo is indeed a bit obsessed with awards.

From "The Aviator" in 2005, "Blood Diamond" in 2007, to "Inception" in 2010.
He was nominated all the time and was always a runner-up. Last year's "The Wolf of Wall Street" was very promising and he met Matthew McConaughey again.
Harvey took Zhou Yutang to a secluded place and said, "Zhou, the operation is very difficult this year..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and understood what was going on.

Nine times out of ten, you will have to run along.

The Golden Globe Awards are America's private domain. The theme of the movie "Red Star" is anti-war, but it is not anti-war from the perspective of certain privileged groups in the United States.

A movie that does not conform to the mainstream American values ​​will have a hard time making it work.

"Zhou, don't you feel disappointed?"

The chubby Harvey was a little surprised to see that he was so calm and didn't look lost at all.

Although he might miss out on the highest honor in this entertainment temple, this young man remained calm, which shows that he is truly an extraordinary person in terms of controlling his emotions.

“We Chinese have an old saying.”

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, I'm doomed."

He didn't have much hope when he came here this time.

It doesn’t matter whether I win the award or not. I just have to earn every penny I deserve.

Harvey had an appointment, and his old friend, Director Li An, came up to him again.

"How's Director Li's new project going?"

"I was just about to talk to you about this."

Li An took the opportunity to turn the topic to his new film, wanting to hear Zhou Yutang's thoughts and opinions.

He turned down "The Great Wall" in favor of his new play "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".

A 19-year-old Texas boy named Billy Lynn enlisted in the Iraq War. He survived a firefight, which unexpectedly made him and his comrades the focus of public attention and made them heroes.
I have to say, it’s absolutely correct!
As soon as he started talking, Zhou Yutang knew that this was another award-winning film.

There is no doubt that Li An has the ability. After so many years of working in Hollywood, he is a very capable person.

"For this film, I plan to use Sony's latest F65 camera to shoot 120D movies in 4K at an ultra-high frame rate of 3 frames per second."

He was somewhat restrained at first, but became more and more excited as he talked.

Zhou Yutang's face was moved, and he responded from time to time, as if he was amazed.

In fact, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

120 frames per second ultra-high frame rate?

Won't your eyes get tired if you stare at this for too long?
Although they were friends, their relationship was not that serious. He would definitely not pour cold water on Li An. He did not show any strange expression on his face and nodded in praise:

"Just listening to it makes me feel like it's a grand epic. Director Li is really generous."

"Is Mr. Zhou interested in investing?"

"Does Director Li still have to worry about funding for his movie?" Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, if an Oscar-winning director wants to make a new movie, there are many film and television companies that will wave their checkbooks to pay for it.

“The cost estimate was $4500 million.”

Li An smiled and said, "Now apart from Sony and Bonner, there is still a funding gap of about 1000 million US dollars. I would like to cooperate with Mr. Zhou. I wonder what Mr. Zhou thinks?"

"It's such a good opportunity, I can't think of any reason to refuse it."

"So, Mr. Zhou has agreed?"

Li An's expressionless face revealed a rare hint of excitement.

After so many years, he believes in fate.

For an entertainment genius like Zhou Yutang who has never failed in film and television projects, even if he is tied to his own crew and does nothing but act as a mascot, he can still add some luck to his project.

"Unfortunately, the company has recently launched several new projects and is about to discuss a large acquisition, so capital turnover is a bit difficult."

Ni Ni, who was standing next to her, looked at her boss's handsome face full of regret and quickly turned her head away, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her laughter.

It would be unreasonable if he didn't win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for this acting skill.

The box office revenue that just arrived in Hollywood this year is enough to make many entertainment companies go crazy with envy.

This is just the first batch, and there will be several more payments to come, as well as revenue share from movie-related products.

Ten million US dollars may sound like a huge number, but Ni Ni knows very well that for Zhou Yutang today, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Then, there is only one possibility.

After the two of them finished chatting, Ni Ni came to Zhou Yutang's side and said, "Boss, are you not optimistic about Director Li's project?"

"How did you become smarter?"

Zhou Yutang tapped Ni Ni's fair forehead with his finger.

"Ouch."

In fact, she didn't use much force, but Ni Ni subconsciously cried out in pain, and she gave her boss a look with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Rejected Bob's second one after the reception.

Zhou Yutang returned to the hotel to adjust to the jet lag.

After a busy day, even with his physical condition, he felt a little tired.

Due to the time difference with China, when he was sleeping, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei each had work arrangements.

The day of the Golden Globe Awards soon arrived, and it was extremely lively.

The red carpet had already been rolled out in front of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, waiting for media and fans from various countries.

Zhou Yutang was extremely low-key during his trip to Hollywood this time.

No press release was issued, but several major domestic portals still opened special topics and sent ace reporters to follow up on the report.

The animated film "How to Train Your Dragon 2" successfully topped the list, the TV series category had many unexpected hits, Kevin Spacey won the Best Actor in a Drama Series award, and George Clooney won the Lifetime Achievement Award.

The result was just as Harvey said and Zhou Yutang expected.

"Red Star" came back with a failure, while the Best Foreign Language Feature Film award went to "Leviathan".

Director Andrei Zvyagintsev's first film, "Volunteer," won the 2004 Venice Golden Lion Award.

Then he moved to Cannes, where his 2007 film "Exiled" was shortlisted for the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, and his 2011 film "Irene" directly won the Cannes Jury Special Award.

"Leviathan" also won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes. This person is a world-renowned celebrity in the film industry and is praised for his legacy of Tarkovsky.

The world is so big that there are many hidden talents. Zhou Yutang will not underestimate other geniuses.

The most important thing is the content of this movie, which talks about the social problems of the Russians, about system and resistance, freedom and fantasy.

This kind of realistic work obviously appeals to the superiority-filled tastes of the American judges.

Then, Simmons from Whiplash won the Best Supporting Actor award.

"Birdman" won the Best Actor and Best Screenwriter in the Musical Comedy category, while Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore won the Best Actor and Best Actress in a Drama category respectively.

The Ballon d'Or is really tedious and lengthy.

There are many awards and even more advertisements.

The host kept talking and trying to liven up the atmosphere, but since it was certain that he had nothing to do with it, Zhou Yutang's attention was not at all on the award ceremony.

He received news from his good brother Dong Ge.

Brother Dong is on a business trip in America these two days and happens to be in Los Angeles, so we agreed to have dinner together.

The biggest winner tonight was undoubtedly "Boyhood", which won the Best Picture, Director and Supporting Actress awards in the Drama category.

The director of this film, Richard Linklater, spent a full 12 years truly recording the growth process of a boy, and he deserves the award.

After the Golden Ball Awards, Zhou Yutang met his good brother Dong Ge.

"Yu Tang, you are still young. I heard that awards like these in Hollywood also look at seniority."

Dong Ge was outside the venue, but he also got the news and knew that his brother didn't win the award. When they met, he was like a warm man and comforted him: "There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

"Brother Dong, do you also research the film and television industry?"

"I know a little bit. Sometimes when I was on business here, Bob took me there a few times."

The two looked at each other and smiled in a way that could only be understood.

It's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things.

Zhou Yutang still feels quite guilty. Dong Ge, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also fallen under the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism.

We hadn't seen each other for a while, and we were chatting about the company's investment. When talking about Zhou Yutang's next big acquisition, Dong Ge smacked his lips and said, "Yutang, you're really playing big."

“It may not work.”

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "We need to talk first."

"I wish you success. If you succeed, the country will be turned upside down."

Brother Dong is also looking forward to it.

He knew that Zhou Yutang had been planning to acquire one of the top European football teams, but he didn't expect that he would actually do it.

The funds required are probably not a small amount, and it is not just financial resources that need to be mobilized.

They are all from the same hometown of Jiangsu Province. Brother Dong feels very proud that his brother is so awesome.

The two were chatting excitedly when Dong Ge suddenly received a text message and his face gradually darkened.

"Milk tea sister?"

"Don't mention her."

Dong Ge looked sad and drank the red wine in the glass.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to meet, so we won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

Considering the recent online public opinions, Zhou Yutang had a clear mind.

Now it's his turn to be the warm-hearted man and comfort his brother.

After a few drinks, Dong Ge started talking and pulled Zhou Yutang aside to complain.

Since the two of them caused a public opinion storm when they were together last year, things have been going smoothly for them.

But once the honeymoon period is over, conflicts arise.

After all, there is a 19-year age difference between the two, so there is a bit of a generation gap, mainly in terms of their different social status.

Jingdong is in the period of rapid development. As the helmsman of this business empire worth more than 250 billion yuan, Dong Ge focuses most of his attention on his career.

As a result, there is not much time to spend with Milk Tea Sister.

At this age, Milk Tea Sister has not even graduated from college. Even if she is a little scheming, she is just a college girl.

After all, it's not mature enough.

Perhaps he was intentionally testing Dong Ge's bottom line.

In short.

The two had a quarrel, and Milk Tea Sister cleared her Weibo out of anger.

Brother Dong didn't spoil her either.

Now that she is a public figure, netizens quickly discovered the clues and started speculating.

It was said that Dong Ge abandoned Milk Tea when she got pregnant and gave her 3000 million yuan as a breakup fee.

There are also insiders who revealed that the two have reached the final stage. Dong Ge is dissatisfied with her desire to develop in the entertainment industry and insists on signing a prenuptial property agreement. Milk Tea Sister refuses. The two sides become more and more tense and refuse to give in to each other, and a cold war begins.

There are even conspiracy theorists who mentioned that the breakup was suspected to be related to the investigation of a senior official in Jinling.

The most outrageous one is that Zhou Yutang, the boss of the Su-Hu gang, introduced variety show resources to Milk Tea, but ended up stealing her love, causing the relationship between Dong Ge to break down, and the two brothers became enemies.
There are all kinds of information flying around on the Internet, and it is really difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But some of them were actually guessed correctly by netizens.

It was indeed Zhou Yutang who introduced Milk Tea Sister’s variety show resources.

Dong Ge asked, and of course Zhou Yutang would help with this small favor, it was just a matter of saying hello.

Compared to girls of the same age who are still preparing for final exams and worrying about whether they will fail, they are about to enter the society and be beaten badly.

Milk Tea Sister went straight to the Masu Provincial TV station's "Burning Brain" and completed her debut as a variety show host.

"She still wants to go film."

"Yu Tang, you know how chaotic the entertainment industry is."

Dong Ge drank a few more glasses and was a little drunk: "I support her to have her own career, but I don't want Xiaotian to develop in this direction. Even if she does nothing, I have the ability to give her a good life."

Dong Ge, who worked his way up from the countryside, is a bit chauvinistic and conservative in his thinking.

He felt that instead of letting Milk Tea Sister enter the entertainment industry, it would be better for her to be a full-time wife at home.

Brother Dong does have the confidence.

To put it bluntly, the conditions of the two people are seriously unequal.

Milk Tea Sister’s most outstanding quality is her youth and beauty, but China has a population of more than one billion, so how could there be so many young and beautiful girls?

Even if we add various limiting conditions such as gentleness and virtuousness, there are still a lot of them.

However, super-rich people like Brother Dong, who are worth tens of billions, are rare and are truly dragons among men.

With Brother Jingdong's conditions, even if he is divorced and has a child, he is still a top bachelor. Many young and beautiful girls are throwing themselves at him, wanting to become Mrs. Jingdong.

"do not think too much."

Zhou Yutang was definitely going to help his brother, so he patted Dong Ge on the shoulder and said, "In a couple of days, I'll take you somewhere to relax."

The Golden Globe Awards has come to an end and the news has been simultaneously transmitted back to the country.

A director who loves to recite poetry spent the whole night reading the news and saw that most of the headlines on the entertainment news were "Zhou Yutang disappointed at the Golden Globe Awards."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt a perverse excitement in his heart.

A profile of Zhou Yutang’s disappointment at the Golden Globe Awards was posted on every portal website.

The photographer has great skills and captured the shots at just the right angles.

One can vaguely see a fan-shaped display of complex emotions on that impeccable and stern face: three parts helplessness, three parts contemplation, and the remaining four parts relief.

"Hubby, don't cry, let me hug you."

"When Zhou Yutang frowned, my heart broke."

"Alas, I'm a runner-up again, Grand Commander, when will you win an Oscar?"

"This kind of award requires PR. Zhang Ziyi went to Hollywood a long time ago, and Zhou Yutang has been in China for a while. He didn't do PR, right?"

"No matter what, I will always support Master Xiao Fan!"

"Hey, he must be very sad, right?"

Netizens expressed their condolences.

Even the beauties around him were gentle and considerate, showing great sympathy.

At this time,
Zhou Yutang appeared at the private party of the Victoria's Secret supermodels
