China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 656: Su Hu Gang Boss, Wan Niu's Undue Courage
"What are you looking at?"

Noticing that Zhou Yutang's eyes stayed on her legs for five seconds longer, Yang Mi's lips curled up in pride.

"Why did you suddenly change clothes?" Zhou Yutang looked away as if nothing had happened: "I've never seen you dressed like this in the airport street photos."

"Brother, walking in high heels is tiring, okay?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes elegantly, lifted her hair, and came closer with a scent of fragrance: "I can't embarrass you in an occasion like that at night."

I have a dinner appointment with Su Xiao, the helmsman of SMG Shangshi Pictures, tonight.

Da Mimi's outfit, which has a bit of subtlety, is very eye-catching.

For a man, it is undoubtedly a great honor to be able to attend a dinner party with a woman like Yang Mi.

But beauty is the least valuable thing in the game of capital.

When Yang Mi entered the venue holding Zhou Yutang's arm, she felt what it meant to be presentable.
"Mr. Zhou."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Yu Tang, come quickly, I'm waiting for you."

When we walked into the private room of this club which was not open to the public, everyone at the table stood up.

There are Ren Zhonglun from China Film Group, Tian Ming from Mingjie, and Su Xiao, the CEO of SMG Shangshi Pictures.
Zhou Yutang took Yang Mi to sit down. He sat next to Su Xiao, and Yang Mi sat next to Tang Lijun.
"Boss Su, thank you for your help this time."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou. That was really not a decent thing to do."

Yang Mi observed everyone at the table out of the corner of her eye. Zhou Yutang and Su Xiao were exchanging polite greetings.

Tian Ming was talking to Ren Zhonglun, and there were a few other bigwigs in the Shanghai circle.

As for the charming mature woman in burgundy dress next to her, Da Mimi was not unfamiliar with her.

The night before yesterday, photos from the backstage of the Magnolia Gala were leaked, and someone was smart enough to figure out that this was Tang Lijun, the former deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai TV Festival executive committee.

He is also a key figure in SMG now.

SMG, the full name is Shanghai Media Group, which is Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group Co., Ltd.

Shanghai Tomato TV, known as one of the Big Three in the industry, is a satellite channel under SMG.

This alone is enough to illustrate the background and status of this company.

With the label of wholly state-owned enterprise, it is a well-deserved giant in the Shanghai circle.

It is rumored that Tian Ming, who has an unfathomable background, was the director of Shanghai Tomato TV.

Later, he left the system and founded Mingjie with Zhou Yutang, dominating the domestic variety show market.

Da Mimi is a very smart person.

She attached great importance to this trip to Shanghai as it was related to the company's financing prospects, and had privately conducted background checks with Zeng Jia before coming.

Some things can only be understood and do not need to be discussed openly.

The Magnolia incident the day before yesterday was probably the result of some people in the box pushing behind the scenes.

The rules are often in the hands of a small number of people.

What seems incredible to outsiders is often just a matter of a word in the eyes of those in a higher position.

The above is just a sentence. The important thing is that the result satisfies Zhou Yutang. As for the subsequent impact, that is a headache for the people below.

Although there are many internal factions in the entire Shanghai circle, a collective interest group has been formed with Zhou Yutang as the center.

Like a giant beast, it overlooks the bustling Shanghai.

The outside world jokingly calls Zhou Yutang the mainstay of the Su-Hu Gang, but in fact, this man has far more power than the outside world imagines.

Da Mimi deliberately leaned over, her soft body almost touching Zhou Yutang's arm, and whispered something in his ear.

Facing the gazes of everyone at the table, the smile on that face with exquisite makeup became even sweeter.

She enjoyed being the center of attention, especially being highly regarded by so many Shanghai bigwigs.

——The identity of Zhou Yutang’s woman brought her an unprecedented sense of security.

The men talked about topics that men should talk about, such as the Shanghai Film Festival and the booming stock market.

Tang Lijun approached Yang Mi with a smile: "Mi Mi, how do you maintain your skin?"

"Oh, Mr. Tang, you have such a good temperament."

Da Mimi is always ready to praise others.

After just a few words, they became close.

Tang Lijun pulled Yang Mi's arm and asked in a low voice: "Mi Mi, I heard that Mr. Zhou is also a shareholder of Mi Xing Media?"

Yang Mi left Jiangdong and set up his own business, Mixing Studio. It grew bigger and stronger over the years and was officially renamed Mixing Media this year. It also went through a backdoor listing on the New Third Board's Xi'an Tongda, and can be said to have a strong momentum of development.

"Boss Tang, I took the shares."

Yang Mi looked towards Zhou Yutang with a tender look in her eyes: "But he doesn't interfere with the company's operations..."

"Just call me Sister Tang. It's true that Boss Zhou has such a big business."

All bigwigs in the circle, apart from their signature companies, have other private investments to maintain a steady increase in wealth.

Tang Lijun asked about the specific operating conditions of the honey bank, and after a long pause, she asked, "Is the honey bank seeking financing recently?"

"Sister Tang, are you interested?"

Yang Mi's face showed just the right amount of surprise.

"It's our President Su, who wants to talk to you."

Tang Lijun raised her red wine glass towards Yang Mi, with a smile on her face: "Mi Mi, I think I can congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you, Sister Tang!"

Yang Mi drank the red wine in the glass without hesitation, and a charming blush appeared on her cheeks.

There were constant cheers and applause during the meal. In such occasions, women are definitely indispensable to liven up the atmosphere.

Tang Lijun was good at this and was very active. Zhou Yutang also had something to talk about with Su Xiao: "Boss Su, I heard that Chairman Wang, who came in this year, is going to do something big?"

Last year, Shanghai giant SMG also underwent a series of integration changes. Wang Jianjun, who succeeded Li Ruigang this year, is a female hero who can rank among the top in the Shanghai system.

"Mr. Wang has great ambitions."

Lidya Su said implicitly: "I will resign from the company in a while. Lemon will be waiting for me. Mr. Zhou will give me more guidance and advice."

"I don't dare to give instructions, but we can communicate more."

Zhou Yutang was not surprised: "With President Su in Lemon Pictures, the future is limitless."

Su Xiao is the president of SMG Shangshi Pictures and is quite active in the Shanghai circle.

Such well-known TV series and movies as "Dwelling Narrowness", "My Fair Wife", "Go Lala's Promotion", "The Cliff", "Ups and Downs", "Little Daddy" and so on are all produced by this person.

Similar to how Noon Sunshine was born out of Shanying, Su Xiao also established his own business and founded Lemon Pictures.

Lemon may not be very famous at the moment, but the team led by Su Xiao are all the elite team of Shangshi Pictures.

"Mr. Zhou, Lemon is just starting out, and the market trends in the TV drama industry are unpredictable. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Traffic + IP, urban campus youth emotions, middle-class anxiety family dramas, these tracks all have their own bases, and President Su has done a great job."

Zhou Yutang didn't play tricks and said bluntly: "Lemon has just started, so it's best to be steady and start with urban emotions and middle-class anxious family dramas. With President Su's foundation, there will definitely be no problem."

Urban campus youth emotional dramas are the basic foundation of Jiangdong Entertainment.

As for the middle-class anxiety family drama, it was also a new track proposed by Zhou Yutang at a company meeting not long ago.

China's unique national conditions determine that education is an eternal theme for middle-class families.

Senior high school entrance exam, college entrance exam, kindergarten to primary school
Everyone goes through something like this, and this type of family drama has an inherent advantage in terms of immersion.

A shrewd person like Zhao Yanzi, who has been around in the capital market, even came back to bring in funds to star in the family drama "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" because he had his eyes on this market.

"I have learned a lot from Mr. Zhou's speech."

Su Xiao listened carefully and was deeply moved.

Zhou Yutang doesn't talk much, but what he says is very useful.

"Mr. Su, you're welcome."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "We are all family, we can cooperate more in the future."

"Since we are all family, Mr. Zhou, I will give you a lowdown."

Lidya Su took a sip of wine, leaned closer, and had an inexplicable look in his eyes: “Lemon has just reached an agreement with Tencent to develop the film and television copyright of Fighter of the Destiny.”

"Oh, that's a big IP, congratulations to President Su."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

A few years ago, when Mao Pang was still fighting with Shen Ji and his gang for the monthly tickets on Qidian.com, Jiangdong Entertainment acquired the film and television copyrights of most of his early works at a low price.

But after the "Joy of Life" series became a huge hit, the price of online literature copyrights soared, Mao Pang's net worth increased a hundredfold, and his works also became popular IPs in male-oriented film and television.

Last year, there was an internal struggle within Yuewen, and it split into two, with the main site being spun off into Chuangshi Chinese.

Mao Pang is the founding general recruited by the Chuangshi team. His new book "Fighter of the Destiny" was first published on Chuangshi last year.

He had just published a book when a film and television company came to him in advance to reserve the rights for film and television adaptation, and the price he quoted was in the eight figures, which caused a sensation in the online literature circle.

However, the film and television companies were ultimately unable to disrupt Tencent, a country with plenty of money, and were ultimately absorbed by Tencent internally.

The huge success of the "Joy of Life" series made Tencent's film and television department so envious that their eyes turned red. They planned to develop their own series, so they found Su Xiao and planned to jointly develop the project.

"Is Mr. Zhou interested in participating?"

Su Xiao finally revealed his purpose: "In online voting for male lead, Mr. Zhou always comes first, and the author himself also wants Mr. Zhou to play Chen Changsheng."

"Mr. Su."

Zhou Yutang smiled and declined: "My schedule may not be free even next year."

He also knew about "Fighter of the Destiny". The male protagonist, Chen Changsheng, had a clean appearance and clear temperament. He was a young man who possessed maturity and wisdom beyond his age.

This definition of clean appearance = Leon Lai = Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang is known as the white moonlight in the hearts of female authors, and she has a very good grasp of her temperament.

But he had no interest in the role, and his evaluation of the novel was not as good as Mao Pang's earlier works.

In fact, this applies to most authors.

Before he became famous, he was penniless and devoted all his energy to writing books, thinking all day long about how to write better books.

When you become financially independent and the world is so attractive, shouldn't you devote some energy to enjoying life?
Last time Zhou Yutang arranged for someone to bring Fatty Mao backstage at a Girls' Generation concert, Fatty was so happy that he almost fainted.
Su Xiao looked regretful. Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled, "With President Su's connections and resources, and Tencent's Yuewen as support, Lemon can proceed step by step and there is no need to rush into big projects."

Da Mimi was busy talking to Tang Lijun, but her ears were already perked up, and she was about to take out her notebook to write down Zhou Yutang's words.

The Grand Commander was talking to Su Xiao about the operation of the company, and there was a lot of useful information in their conversation.

This is like a poor student who hears the reference answer and just copies some of it, which can benefit the honey industry endlessly.
…………

The dinner ended with both the guests and the hosts having a great time.

Driving back to Tomson Yipin.

Maybe it was because she drank a few more glasses, but Yang Mi was a little excited. She hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and asked, "Is what you said to Lidya Su true?"

"hehe."

"Just tell me."

Da Mimi doesn’t act coquettishly often, but when she does, she is really charming and beautiful.

Her hands were tightly clamped by the beautiful legs wrapped in stockings, feeling the wonderful touch, Zhou Yutang revealed the inside information to her:
"Last year, Lemon received an angel round investment of 30 million from Mingjie. This year, Tencent invested 100 million in the A round, and then it will start the B round of financing."

"Su Xiao is ambitious and more capable than those who followed him out of the system."

When Su Xiao leaves SMG, like Hou Hongliang, he will not be left alone.

Many of his old subordinates wanted to follow him. Except for Su Xiao, Zhou Yutang and the other founders of Lemon Pictures were no strangers.

Mingjie has settled down in Shanghai. The TV drama version of Jiangdong's "Love Is Not Blind" was previously handed over to Shangshi Pictures for operation. The people in charge of Lemon Pictures all came from the system.

Xu Xiaoou, a royal sister who speaks softly and has lingering charm, is vigorous and resolute in her actions. She has been the producer of Shanghai-based high-quality TV series such as "Du Lala's Promotion", "Dwelling Narrowness", and "Ups and Downs". In terms of ability, she may not be inferior to Jiang Xueluan, director of Jiangdong TV drama department!
There is also Chen Fei, whom Zhou Yutang has also met. He is a second-generation like Tian Ming.

He joined the Shanghai Television System right after graduating from Fudan University. With a clear career plan, he became the deputy director of the SMG Film and Television Center of Dragon TV at a young age.

After giving Da Mi Mi a brief explanation, Yang Mi was a little surprised: "No way, Zhang Jiayi and Huang Sanshi are also shareholders of Lemon?"

"Do you understand now?"

Zhou Yutang's hand moved along the black silk-wrapped thighs, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The Magic City Fruit Company, invested by Zhang Jiayi and Huang Sanshi, also holds shares in Lemon. It is not much, but it is still a shareholder.

"No wonder."

Yang Mi held Zhou Yutang's mischievous hands tightly, preventing him from moving forward.

Zhang Jiayi can be said to be a fixture at the Magnolia Awards ceremony every year.

It's not that Uncle Zhang's acting skills are invincible, he's just acting in a Shanghai-style play, and of course the Shanghai circle will support its own people.

There is also Huang Sanshi. It is also interesting to ponder why he was nominated for Best Actor over Li Xuejian.

"By the way, Yu Tang."

Da Mimi leaned softly against Zhou Yutang, and said in a soft voice: "You said that the urban workplace is a good track. Our company has received a script. Please help me take a look when you are free."

"No time."

"Please help me first. I will agree to whatever you want to do tonight."

"Is it really possible to do anything?"

"I, Yang Mi, keep my word!"

"Don't regret it, where is the script?"

Zhou Yutang became interested. He didn't expect Yang Mi to be well prepared. He quickly took out a file bag from his bag.

The driver Zhou Tai slowed down the car, and Zhou Yutang took a look at it.
"Dear Translator?"

"It cost more than one million to buy the copyright."

After taking a rough look, Zhou Yutang gave a fair evaluation: "Congratulations, you found a bargain."

From his perspective, this book is not exquisite at all, and many of the lines and plots are awkward at first glance.

But among the current domestic workplace romance dramas, it is definitely above the passing line.

Especially the female lead Qiao Fei, it is estimated that many female audiences can resonate with her, and Da Mimi will probably reap some benefits.

The reason why Mixing Company was able to succeed is not only because Yang Mi is very hardworking, but also because the team under her is really capable, at least many times stronger than the makeshift team of Tangyan Studio.

"mua!"

Da Mimi was overjoyed and came over and kissed Zhou Yutang on the cheek.

After putting the script back into his bag, he opened it and took a look at it again, as if he was afraid it would fly away. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter: "Yu Tang, Tang Lijun congratulated me tonight. Do you think there is any hope for financing?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at it casually: "What do you think?"

"Geez, you're annoying."

In fact, Yang Mi knew clearly that since a person like Tang Lijun had spoken, it was probably not without purpose.

But at times like this, women are always more inclined to be guided by men in a strong way.

"SMG wants to sign a gambling contract. There may be pitfalls. You should be careful."

Zhou Yutang listened to their conversation and reminded them.

"If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Do I still need to bet against SMG?"

While they were talking, the cell phone vibrated, and Zhou Yutang began to reply to Yijie's message in front of Da Mimi.

Da Mimi found that her question was indeed a bit presumptuous.

It is widely rumored that SMG is a media aircraft carrier with a market value of hundreds of billions, but it is still smaller than the Jiangdong Group.

The market value of Mingjie Company alone is nearly 100 billion yuan. What is really scary is the domestic entertainment leader Jiangdong Entertainment that has forced Huayi to bow its head.

He has dominated the film and television industry for several consecutive years, like a savage beast lurking in the abyss, arrogant and domineering.

That is Zhou Yutang’s real foundation.

Yang Mi glanced at the man beside her who was lowering his head to reply to the message.

The dim light in the car made the angular and stern profile even more alluring.

The collar of his shirt was slightly open, and the scent of hormones silently diffused in the car.

Yang Mi suddenly licked her beautiful lips.

Tie up your hair.

Then, he slowly lowered his head.
When Zeng Jia received Yang Mi's call, she was still in a meeting with Zhao Ruoyao.

In order to expand the Mixing Company, Yang Mi transformed herself into a desperate woman, and Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao also worked equally hard.

Socializing, networking, connections...

Yang Mi is either filming or on her way to an appointment.

They arranged everything for her behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, the company's financing progress was not smooth.

Capital is not a philanthropist. Mixing Media has too shallow a foundation, and the only card it can play is Yang Mi.

After hearing what Yang Mi said, Zeng Jia opened his mouth wide, jumped up from his seat, and said in a lost voice: "Mi Mi, are you kidding?"

Zhao Ruoyao next to him also had his pupils dilated and his eyes widened.

"It's true, Sister Jia."

Yang Mi's voice was filled with surprise, and there was also a gentle moan that sounded like a cry of pain.

"Mi Mi, what are you doing?"

"I was... I was running and sprained my ankle."

"Don't work too hard. After the Shanghai Film Festival is over, there will be a press conference for "The Bounty Hunter" and the recording of "Chef Nic 2". Then there will be a press conference for Director Guo's "Tiny Times" and promotion work for Director Dong Runnian's "City of Love."

Zeng Jia knew all about Yang Mi's schedule, while Zhao Ruoyao was more concerned about financing:
"What does Tang Lijun mean?"

"SMG is interested, but from what she said, she wants to sign a bet contract."

"On gambling?"

Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao looked at each other and nodded: "As long as the conditions are right, we can talk."

After ending the call, the two sat there with complicated expressions.

There is shock, joy, and longing for a better future.

They looked at each other in silence for a long time.

They ran around for financing, but it was not as good as Zhou Yutang showing up for a meal.
Zhou Tai was sent to the underground garage of Tomson One and then tactfully left.

In the blind spot of the surveillance, the shock absorption system of the low-profile Mercedes-Benz S500L was subjected to a one-hour high-intensity test.
Da Mimi couldn't wait to report to Zeng Jia about tonight's battle situation.

With his legs a little weak, he helped Zhou Yutang up the stairs.

When opening the door.

"How did you come?"

Tang Yan, who had changed into sexy pajamas in advance, was stunned the moment she saw Yang Mi.

The smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Da Mimi also felt a little uncomfortable.

She used this place as a secret base for her trysts with Zhou Yutang.

Especially when you stand at a high level and look down at the brilliant lights of Shanghai, with stars filling the sky of the entire bustling city, and your body truly feels fulfilled from the inside out.

There is a feeling of life being complete.

It’s a pity that the addition of Tang Yan ruins the fun.

However, Zhou Yutang gave her a reassurance, and the company's financing was in sight.

With all the good news, Da Mimi was in a good mood. She smiled and gave the confused Tang Yan a loving hug: "Tangtang, don't you welcome me?"

sometimes.

Women's friendship is so real and abstract.

Tang Yan had been on a roll last year, getting a lot of endorsements and even showing signs of challenging Yang Mi's status as a top star.

The two groups of fans recently had a conflict over the TV version and the movie version of Zhao Mosheng in "Fall in Love with You Again".

As a result, Tang Yan was flipped over by Reba's female supporting actress in "Diamond Lover", and the fake dress incident broke out, and she was mocked by countless fans of the rival family
The upward momentum was abruptly curbed. There is also a drama called "The Princess Thief" to be aired, but it will flop as soon as you hear the name. It would be a blessing if the star's status does not drop.

Da Mimi actually felt a little sorry for her.

The main reason was that she agreed to Zhou Yutang's request in the car, so she took a step back flexibly.
The news that marketing guru Jia Shikai resigned from Huanrui made the headlines in the entertainment section.

Huanrui reposted Jia Shikai's Weibo and left a message: "Tomorrow will be better."

"This guy is quite talented."

Zhou Yutang was sitting in the car, waiting to pick someone up, listening to Ni Ni talking about news in the circle and making casual comments.

Many people don’t know that this person left Mango Group in his early years and joined Tangren, where he became a senior executive.

At that time, most of Tangren’s marketing was done by this person.

Binding hype is a basic skill.

Provoking trouble, then playing the victim, and then buying marketing press releases, with the Internet army giving likes and controlling comments...

All at your fingertips.

The key point is that he parted ways with his previous employers in a friendly manner and did not break up. This is enough to show that he is indeed very capable.

"Because you, the boss, have pointed it out, now he doesn't dare to touch Jiangdong artists."

Ni Ni pursed her lips and chuckled: "But it's a bit surprising that Yang Yang can follow him."

Yang Yang first ran away from Xingyunda, then got close to Huanrui, and recently was in a lawsuit with Xingyunda, and then turned around and followed Jia Shikai to leave Huanrui.
Now, many netizens mock him for being a traitor.

"Shishi is here."

I was chatting with Ni Ni in the car when I received a message and then the door of the business car opened.

"Honey, I feel like you don't seem to be in good spirits today."

Yijie got into the car carrying a small bag, greeted Ni Ni first, and then gave Zhou Yutang a warm hug.

Seeing that someone was in low spirits, Liu Shishi felt a little concerned.

"The boss has a cold."

Ni Ni, who was standing next to him, explained but complained in her heart.
“Can that be spiritual?”

Practicing Taoism in Beijing, and spending the past two days with Nazha.

Last night, the two beauties of Fairy Sword were together again.

Even if the commander-in-chief is a brave man with the courage to resist even the most powerful women, he still can't withstand it, right?
