China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 654: Master Hu, Bai Yulan lowers her proud head
Oriental Art Center.

Magnolia Awards Ceremony.

The night was full of stars.

However, what attracted the most attention was not Guli Nazha's stunning appearance.

It’s not the first time that Mr. Zhou has returned to the small screen after twelve years.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhou Yutang, who was accompanied into the award ceremony by Ni Ni, who was wearing a blue suit and skirt that slightly revealed her beautiful legs, and Tang Lijun, the former deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai TV Festival.

As the most watched man in the domestic entertainment industry, the Grand Commander has been stirring up trouble in Shanghai recently.

I only liked the post that questioned Bai Yulan.

It caused a major earthquake in the entire Shanghai area.

Who would have thought that the Magnolia Organizing Committee would initiate a re-examination overnight before the awards ceremony, complete the process at lightning speed, and immediately change the nominations.

They even issued a notice later, stating that the Magnolia Awards upholds the principles of fairness and justice, and expressed sincere apologies to Teacher Li Xuejian and the audience.

"Sister Tang, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

Sitting in the front row, Zhou Yutang expressed his sincere gratitude to Tang Lijun.

This time Bai Yulan had to bow her head. The Grand Commander showed his edge and mobilized a lot of connections.

Tang Lijun, who was once in charge of the two festivals in Shanghai, played a go-between role.

"Yu Tang, the organizing committee really didn't do a good job this time."

Tang Lijun smiled and said, "As long as the result is good, it doesn't matter if the process is a little tortuous."

This woman is not simple.

Ni Ni listened quietly without interrupting.

In terms of beauty, Tang Lijun cannot compare to any of the beauties around Zhou Yutang.

But the charm of some women is not only reflected in their appearance.

As a strong woman who once managed the two festivals in Shanghai, now that she has left the system, she is also the vice president of SMG.

He has high IQ and EQ, and there are things we can learn from his way of dealing with people.

After chatting for a while, Tang Lijun went to answer a phone call.

"There are quite a few acquaintances today."

Zhou Yutang looked back and saw Master Zhou winking at him.

Tonight she wore a white backless dress that showed off her shoulders. Although she didn't have a big ponytail, the transparent tulle design at the waist and back made Miss Zhou look more feminine, which was rare.

"You're awesome."

Zhou Yutang deduced what Miss Zhou wanted to say based on her facial expression and mouth shape.

Many familiar faces came to the scene, including Zheng Xiaolong, Liu Heping, Tong Yaya, Yan Ni, Xiao Songjia, Huo Siyan, Chen Xiao, Chen Baoguo, and Jiang Xin.
"Teacher Tian."

When Zhou Yutang saw Tian Zhuangzhuang walking towards him, he quickly stood up from his seat and took the initiative to walk forward.

We had received news in advance that Li Xuejian had been ill recently and was in hospital for treatment. Tian Zhuangzhuang was his cousin, so he attended the Magnolia Gala on his behalf.

Tian Zhuangzhuang held Zhou Yutang's arms tightly with his skinny hands and said with emotion: "Yutang, thank you for your hard work."

"I did nothing."

Zhou Yutang smiled at Lao Tian with an innocent look on his face.

The master and the disciple's eyes met, and everything was said without words.

After a brief chat, they returned to their respective seats. However, Ni Ni carefully noticed that Tian Zhuangzhuang had a complicated expression.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

If Zhou Yutang had not intervened, it would have been a pipe dream to expect Bai Yulan to bow her head.

In fact, Tangren's No. 1 actor was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor tonight, but he was still catching up with the production team of "The Disguiser" and was unable to attend the event in person.

He had also heard about the Magnolia incident and sent a message to Zhou Yutang, praising him for a job well done.

The award ceremony begins soon.

Compared with previous years, this year's Magnolia Awards has specially added an award for the best seasonal variety show.

In the end, the winner went to Mango TV's signature variety show "I Am a Singer", which surprised Zhou Yutang a little.

As expected, Guli Nazha won the Internet Popular Actress award, while the Internet Popular Actor award went to Jiangdong young actor Chen Xiao.

Last year's "Love O2O" became an instant hit, and later on, the number of views in South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places was quite explosive, with an amazing long-tail effect.

The Best Supporting Actress award went to Qin Hailu for Red Sorghum, while the Best Supporting Actor award went to Feng Yuanzheng for his wonderful performance in Old Farmers.

"Teacher Feng doesn't look that fierce."

Ni Ni beside him muttered softly, and Zhou Yutang found it a little funny, knowing that she was talking about the ferocious expression pack of Teacher Feng that was still on the hot search.

"All Quiet in Peking" won the Best Screenplay and Best TV Series awards, while the Best Director award went to Director Mao Weining of "Ordinary World".

Zhou Gongzi returned to the small screen again and took home the Best Actress award, which brought the atmosphere of tonight's awards ceremony to a small climax.

"I am very grateful to Director Zheng Xiaolong for giving me such a rich and dramatic role. I am very lucky. I am also grateful to all my colleagues who worked so hard on the TV series."

It was still Mr. Zhou's unique smoky voice. After speaking in a standard manner, he rarely said something funny: "Boss Zhou is sitting in the audience. I heard that his new play is still casting. Please consider me."

Some time ago, Jiangdong released several film and television projects, which caused a bloody storm in the circle.

Even the big stars have been tearing each other apart for the first time in a long time, and have been sending out negative press releases to their opponents. Zhou Xun's on-the-spot job application caught many people by surprise.

The applause was accompanied by laughter.

The camera very cleverly focused on Zhou Yutang who was talking to Tang Lijun beside him.

His figure is as tall and straight as a jade tree, and he still has that handsome face that is most handsome in Asia.

Apart from her good figure and good looks, Zhou Yutang's majestic demeanor is even more impressive.

Noticing the camera, Zhou Yutang waved towards the stage with a dazzling smile.

When the Best Actor award was announced tonight, many people were shocked.

Chen Baoguo from "Old Farmer" and Li Xuejian from "Hey, Old Man!" both won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor.

“It’s actually a double yolk egg.”

“Have there ever been a double-yolked egg?”

"Back then, there was a fierce competition among the gods in "Live", "Golden Wedding" and "Crossing the Guandong", and the Best Actor and Best Actress in the TV series all won double yolks!"

"Take last year's Magnolia Awards, for example. Zhou Yutang's In the Name of People, Wu Gang and Zhang Zhijian won the Best Supporting Actor award together."

Generally speaking, double yolk eggs are rare.

Only when the jury believes that two finalists have performed equally well and it is difficult to choose between them will they carefully make the decision to award the prize jointly.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and many eyes suddenly turned to Zhou Yutang.

At this moment, Zhou Yutang raised his head as if looking at the moon, and watched the wonderful performance clips projected on the big screen on the stage with a focused expression.

Chen Baoguo's acting skills are beyond doubt.

He has given wonderful performances in classic TV series such as "The Mansion Gate", "The Emperor Wu of Han", and "The Ming Dynasty 1566".

This time, "Old Farmer" has broken through himself, and this Best Actor trophy is well deserved.

As for Li Xuejian, he played the lonely, stubborn and lovable demented old man Liu Ertie in the TV series Hey, Old Man!

At this moment, a segment with extremely explosive acting skills was shown on the big screen.

This lonely and stubborn old man wanted to drink some wine, so he opened the bottle cap and wanted to drink directly from the bottle.

But because his hands were shaking so badly, he couldn't get the drink into his mouth.

He clenched the bottle tightly with both hands and drank again, but it touched his loose teeth.
In the end, I had to use a large teapot and a towel to drink it.

Good actors, that's what.

There is not a single line of dialogue throughout the entire film, but the loneliness and sadness expressed by the old man are perfectly conveyed to the audience through other means, triggering resonance.

Wow!
There was a burst of warm applause at the scene, as surging as a tide.

The two old men were being polite to each other, and it was Chen Baoguo who gave his acceptance speech first. He achieved the grand slam of winning the three major awards for Best Actor tonight, and he was a little excited.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, wearing a Zhongshan suit, took the microphone from the host with a serious expression: "This is my first time standing on the Magnolia Award podium, and I am accepting the award for someone else. I am very surprised and very happy."

"Li Xuejian should be very happy too. He has some health problems and is currently hospitalized for treatment. He asked me to attend the award ceremony on his behalf. I am honored to receive the award and I thank the organizing committee for being fair and just."

"I would also like to thank all the crew members of the film crew of Hey, Old Man! This award belongs to all of you."

After Tian Zhuangzhuang finished speaking, Zhou Yutang led the applause.

The applause at the scene suddenly broke out like thunder.

At this point, the Magnolia Awards Ceremony gradually came to an end.

Tonight, there was also a "Magnolia Outstanding Contribution Award" and it was given to Ma Shaohua.

After the process was completed, Zhou Yutang and Tang Lijun went to the cocktail party arranged by Baiyulan.

"Yu Tang, Mr. Su is abroad and will return to the Magic City tomorrow. He wants to meet with you."

"Well, Sister Tang, you make the arrangements."

After greeting several key figures, Zhou Yutang was about to leave early, but was pulled aside by Guo Jingyu, one of the judges of this year's Magnolia Awards, to talk.
"Mr. Zhou, you did a great job this time."

"Teacher Guo, I didn't do anything."

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly: "Bai Yulan is fair and just, the whole procedure is correct, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Oh, yes, yes, the procedure is correct."

Guo Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "If the procedure wasn't correct, I would have gone all out to fight the organizing committee tonight."

"what?"

Zhou Yutang looked at the old man with a strange expression.

There is no smell of alcohol on him, which shows that he didn't drink much. How could he be so drunk?

Guo Jingyu opened up and started chatting with Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang didn't know much about him before.

After chatting in detail, we felt that we had a lot in common.

This guy was born in an intellectual family, but for various reasons he did not graduate from high school. Later he joined the Chengde Repertory Theatre, where he worked as a handyman in the theatre management troupe while writing film and television scripts.

Afterwards, he went north to Beijing, and by chance, he worked for Huang Jianzhong. He was the deputy director of the CCTV version of "Swordsman".

He then went out on his own and produced a number of period dramas, including "Iron Pear Flower", "The Matchmaker", and "Brave Heart".

Holding her parents' remote control firmly, the queen mother of Zhou Yutang's family is a fan of Guo Jingyu's dramas.

Jiangdong Entertainment is now at its peak. As soon as news of film and television projects was released, TV stations came knocking on the door.

The period drama project that Guo Jingyu is working on has a similar effect. Before filming even started, all major platforms have heard about it and are already supporting it.

But if you think that he is just a conservative who can secure the basic base of period dramas, you are wrong.

Guo Jingyu brought out a disciple named Xiao Jixiangtian.

Before Jiang Dong, there was an online drama called Soul Ferry that brought a lot of traffic to iQiyi last year, and Xiao Jixiangtian was the screenwriter. Guo Jingyu's Changxin Media was the producer behind the scenes.

I have to say that the film and television industry is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

This person can be both upright and extraordinary, is calm in his work, and has a straightforward personality.

After this conversation, Zhou Yutang believed it 70%. If he hadn't done it himself, this guy would have dared to speak up for Li Xuejian and criticize Bai Yulan in person.
"Mr. Zhou, we may have a chance to cooperate in the future."

"There will be a chance."

"boss."

On the way back to the hotel, Ni Ni, who had done background check, asked curiously, "Changxin Media seems to be a subsidiary of the Internet giant Perfect World."

"Do you really want to cooperate with him?"

She rarely saw someone who could share Zhou Yutang's ideas, and they could even be said to hit it off right away.

"Who can say for sure?"

Zhou Yutang added Guo Jingyu's WeChat and chuckled, "Maybe there will be a suitable project."

The Magnolia Awards came to an end, and the news updated that evening dominated the headlines of major entertainment portals.

"Haha, God has eyes. It seems my opposition is still useful."

"Okay, okay, that's right. Teacher Chen Baoguo performed very well, and Teacher Li's performance deserves the award."

"Good job, Kun Kun, it's all the damn weird Grand Commander, causing me to work overtime with the entire organizing committee for several days."

“The person upstairs, is he really an insider?”

"Magnolia has already issued a notice, how could it be possible that Zhou Yutang is going through a retrial procedure?"

"That's right, Jiangdong navy soldiers, please calm down. The entertainment industry doesn't allow such arrogant people."

"Haha, no need to explain. You might as well take a look at who the woman next to the Grand Commander is."

"What a pair of beautiful legs in stockings. Are you talking about Ni Ni?"

"You don't even recognize Tang Lijun?"

Netizens on online bulletin boards and forums were discussing the matter crazily, digging out all kinds of details.

Da Mimi, who was also very concerned about this matter, received Zhou Yutang's message and knew what was going on:
"It was really him who did it."

Zeng Jia, who had been eating melons for a few days, was also shocked at this moment.

She has been in the circle for so many years, but this is the first time she has seen someone who can suppress Bai Yulan.

But she didn't dwell on it. Whether Li Xuejian won the award or not, it had nothing to do with her.

Zeng Jia was more concerned about other things: "Mi Mi, the film festival is about to open, have you made an appointment with Boss Zhou?"

"We have an appointment for the day after tomorrow."

Yang Mi looked down at her phone and pursed her lips: "The day after tomorrow, Sister Yi will be here."

Zeng Jia didn't care, and said with a hint of excitement: "This time when we go to the Magic City, you must remember that matter, it is very important to us."

"Well, I see."

Yang Mi nodded seriously.

Recently, all the attention of the industry has been focused on Shanghai.

A television festival plus an international film festival, with official publicity and promotion, it brought together more than half of the people in the film and television industry in China.

This makes this prosperous international city more lively than ever before.

Apart from the booming stock market, the most discussed topic in private was the Magnolia scandal that just ended.

Although the selection process announced by the Magnolia Awards includes an item that allows one to raise objections to the organizing committee for re-evaluation.

But the final right of interpretation always lies in the hands of the organizing committee.

Even if there is a re-evaluation, the result will not change at all. This is the unspoken rule.

But the noble Lord Bai Yulan actually lowered her head.

This incident caused such a stir in the Shanghai circle that even people at the bottom of the entertainment industry felt that something was unusual.

It’s just that they have limited ways to obtain information, and right now they can only rely on hearsay and various speculations, without knowing the truth.

But those in the upper circles already had channels and knew that it was Zhou Yutang who was pushing this matter behind the scenes.

"It's really something."

At night, in a private club in Shanghai, Mr. Wang from Huayi was holding a cigar, crossing his legs and commenting, "You've only been in Shanghai for a few days, and you've already caused such a big incident."

"The backbone of the Su-Hu Gang, the entire Shanghai circle is stable."

Feng Xiaogang was also secretly shocked.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the little steel cannon says he doesn’t care about the award.

But when there is a chance to win an award, I will lick it better than anyone else.

But he was repeatedly rejected out of favor, so he could only get angry and humiliated afterwards, and complain and talk nonsense online.

Who has ever seen someone like Zhou Yutang? He usually doesn't show off his reputation as a playboy, but as soon as he showed his potential, he easily dealt with Bai Yulan.

"Let's not talk about that. I'll raise a glass first."

Mr. Wang stood up and raised the red wine glass in his hand, his face glowing with joy as he said, "I wish Huayi Company's market value will exceed 100 billion yuan, and it will become stronger and stronger!"

"cheers!"

…………

"The filming of "Blade of the Assassin 2" was completed today. The crew held a media day and many stills were released!"

After nearly half a year of filming, Lu Yang's second drama finally came to a successful conclusion.

A large number of stills were released in advance, including Zhou Yutang's emperor, Huang Xiaoming's cold and stern Shen Lian in Feiyufu and Xiuchundao, and Liu Shishi's red-skirted warrior Zhou Miaotong...

The previous work can be regarded as the most successful martial arts movie IP in recent years, and the sequel naturally aroused the expectations of movie fans.

Liu Shishi is still dealing with the media. She has a business event the day after tomorrow and won't arrive in Shanghai until the day after tomorrow.

Huang Xiaoming flew directly to Hong Kong. He and Qin Lan were reunited after a short separation. The news of them shopping in the Landmark Plaza in Central just became a hot topic.

The couple has made a lot of money in the stock market recently.

On the evening of the 13th, the red carpet ceremony of the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival was held at the Shanghai Grand Theater.

This time we have a leader from above in charge, and we want to do this beautifully, so there is a big show.

More than 400 filmmakers from home and abroad gathered at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Star bright.

The red carpet is Teacher Fan’s comfort zone.

Today, she made a stunning appearance in a bright red haute couture dress by Stephane Rolland, and walked the red carpet with Taiwan's hottest star Wu Zun and superstar Leon Lai.

Nazha changed into a black sequined haute couture dress today. As she walked, her dress swayed gracefully and sparkled like a mermaid.

Others such as Guo Biting, Zhang Zilin, Liu Yan, Yang Ying, Zhang Xinyu, etc. also competed with each other in beauty, showing off their biceps, legs, or backs.
It is a feast for the eyes of netizens.

Except for Chen Shishi, the three major domestic directors, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Gangpao, were all present.

Jackie Chan, Liu Huohua, Zhou Xingxing, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Leung Ka Fai, Guo Fucheng, Liu Dehua
Foreign stars such as Tom Hiddleston and Sophie Marceau also came to show their support.

Zhou Yutang made the final appearance and strode proudly across the red carpet to thunderous cheers.

After entering the inner field, Teacher Fan kept looking over here, just wanting to find an opportunity to take advantage of.

Guli Nazha stared at him closely, and from time to time she glared at Teacher Fan as if to show her protest.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The two beauties from northern Xinjiang have an old grudge against Teacher Fan. This time Reba said she wanted to teach the old woman a lesson, and Nazha felt that she could do it.

However, Zhou Yutang really didn't have the chance to chat with them.

Say hello to the bigwigs in the system first.

He was surrounded by a circle of big directors, including Tian Zhuangzhuang, Cao Baoping, and Hou Xiaoxian from Taiwan Province.

Even Feng Xiaogang came over to say hello. I don’t know what the little steel cannon had taken wrong, but he came up and praised her with a grin: “Yu Tang, I think Jiang Dong has a good chance of winning the Golden Goblet Award this year.”

"Oh?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at him calmly and said, "Then I'll borrow Director Feng's good words."

Soon, the official opening process began, with Magic City No. 1 taking the stage to deliver a speech.

The opening film was Er Dongsheng's "I Am No. 1", and it really was just No. 1. It can't be said to be mediocre, but it can also be said to have no highlights.

After the opening ceremony, Zhou Yutang was discussing the arrangements for the premiere of "The Tuner" with Cao Baoping, when Ni Ni suddenly came over and whispered something in his ear.

Today, Tang Yan appeared on the red carpet as the leading actress of "Business School Partners".

It was said to be a Sino-Korean co-production, but Zhou Yutang was too lazy to learn more about it. He knew it was a flop just by the name.

"Tang Yan is wearing fake ES couture."

"you sure?"

"Netizens have already dug it up online."

"..."

Today the red carpet is live.

Generally, in such occasions, the celebrity team will arrange a hot search press release.

Before they finished walking the red carpet, Tang Yan's team had already arranged several hot searches in advance, including "#Tang Yan's elegant appearance in an ice-blue long dress is full of fairy spirit#", "#Tang Tang is so beautiful#", etc.

This generation of netizens is comparable to Conan. Some of them are suspected to be insiders in the fashion circle. They found out from various details that what Tang Yan was wearing was not real ES haute couture.

Soon, #TangYanFakeDress# became the hot search.

It's ironic no matter how you look at it.

Female celebrities compete with each other in terms of status and achievements, all they want is a sense of pride; no one wants to be outshined on the red carpet.

Es haute couture dresses are very prestigious in the fashion circle. Da Tiantian failed to borrow one at the beginning, so she spent several million in anger and bought one directly, shocking the entertainment industry.

Nazha wore the new season dress of Es at the Magnolia Fashion Show last night.

But it would be embarrassing to tell others that I was wearing a fake Es dress.

In fact, when Tangyan Studio was connecting with the clothing studio, they were fooled.

In response, Tang Yan Studio quickly issued a statement on Weibo, admitting that the dress was fake and strongly condemning the clothing studio that provided the fake brand dress.
"Ji Rujing's ability is still a little bit inferior to Zeng Jia's."

Zhou Yutang frowned and shook his head.

He owns shares in Mihang and also in Tangyan Studio.

He was very fair in this matter. He did not interfere with the operations on both sides and just let them go. However, the gap gradually emerged.

Yang Mi is able to carry the "Mixing" company forward alone. With Zeng Jiajia and Zhao Ruoyao in management, the company's overall operations are in good condition and it has reached the stage of financing and listing.

Tang Yan's personal studio, however, is still standing still, and is complacent about taking on "A Chinese Odyssey 3".
Just now.

Zhou Yutang suddenly received a call.
