China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 661 sparked heated discussions, wise and powerful

In the cheerful and melodious music.

Using the form of a pseudo-documentary, it presents a pristine and natural paradise to the audience.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful."

Wang Yiran's eyes lit up, and she felt a refreshing feeling coming towards her.

You know how stressful it is to work in this big steel city, Shanghai.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city and living in such a leisurely and natural environment, this is what she longs for in her heart.

As the advertisement for Jiangzhong Monkey Mushroom Rice Porridge started playing, Wang Yiran turned on the TV in the living room, tuned to Mango Channel, and turned down the volume.

As a die-hard fan of Jiangdong, she also did not forget to contribute to the ratings.

“Why are there so many product placements?”

Wang Rongran was not interested and just wanted to fast forward.

The host Mr. He and the veteran Huang Sanshi are both well-known variety show stars to the audience.

She wants to see handsome guys!
She wants Zhou Yutang!
However, it was the beautiful captain of the Function Group, Song Qian, who caught her eye.

Then, the MCs arrived at a completely unfamiliar small village.

After moving into the Mushroom House, the few of them got used to each other and the atmosphere was warm and natural.

Especially the cute little Shiba Inu, which soon attracted a lot of comments:
"So cute, I want to get one."

"Where's Zhou Yutang? Why hasn't the boss come out yet?"

"Why rush? Make sure you have enough foreplay."

Several celebrities are self-sufficient, working in the fields and having to rely on themselves for food.

A stove was being built over there. The camera turned and Zhou Yutang's handsome face appeared on the screen. "I heard there's a very interesting show. They invited me to have a feast."

When he first appeared, the members of the Mushroom House were collectively shocked.

Everyone was amused when seeing Song Qian's exaggerated acting and attentiveness under Huang Sanshi's guidance, and the screen was filled with comments.

"Song Qian has a bright future."

"From the way Zhou Yutang's mouth curled up, I knew Qianqian had secured the female lead in that TV series."

"Teacher Huang is giving a lesson to everyone. Take your notebooks and write it down."

Wang Yiran couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wang Rongran, however, had a rebellious mentality and rolled his eyes: "Flattering."

Wang Yiran ate potato chips and shook his head: "You are still young, you will understand when you enter society."

"So what? I will never be so humble again."

"Are you a pig? Can't you tell that they are doing a variety show effect?"

Wang Yiran felt that her cousin was sometimes really annoying, so she slapped her on the butt. Wang Yiran cried out in pain and finally became obedient.

The sisters are very close to each other and it is common for them to play around with each other.

In fact, when Zhou Yutang arrived at the Mushroom House, he didn’t act like a boss.

It is time to work, and there is no need to be pretentious.

Especially taking care of Song Qian, watching him swinging an axe and chopping wood like flying, the comments were very cheerful:
"This axe has taken at least 20 years of skill."

"Oh my god, the overbearing president can actually do farm work."

"The dog is so cute, I really want to have a repair dog!"

Wang Rongran held his chin with both hands, became more and more absorbed in the story, and became more and more curious.

I often heard my cousin tell me that Zhou Yutang started from scratch and built the Jiangdong entertainment dynasty.

From the show, he seems to be very efficient and humorous, which makes people feel comfortable, but I don’t know what kind of person he is in private.

The two sisters watched and chatted.

Everyone in the Mushroom House has their own duties.

Huang Sanshi cooks and turns into a chef.

Teacher He helped out and provided various emotional values.

The female team leader Song Qian disregarded her image and rolled up her sleeves, even daring to grab Kun Kun...

"Isn't there a game segment like name tag tearing in this show?"

Such a question suddenly floated across the barrage.

Wang Yiran quickly typed and explained, "This is a rural life variety show. There is no such thing as strong confrontation..."

In recent years, audiences have become accustomed to variety shows such as Running Man and Go Fighting, where the guests compete in a battle of wits and courage, with fierce confrontations between the guests.

Sometimes, conflicts among guests are deliberately created to make the show hot spots.

None of these can be found in "A Longing for Life".

There is no intrigue, no scheming.

There are more than 30 kinds of crops in the mountain fields. 1000 corns are equivalent to 3 months of rent. One pound of meat requires 200 corns. If you want beer, you can exchange it for fried melon seeds.
Whatever you want, you have to work hard for it.

Even big stars have to work in the fields.

Zhou Yutang quickly integrated into the pastoral life with birds singing and flowers blooming. After hard work, he made a fire and cooked a meal. Everyone was in a good mood and chatted about family matters and sang songs.

Some viewers felt that it was very relaxing and natural, and the show was very interesting.

Some viewers also thought it was rather bland and were somewhat disappointed.

The first episode of the show is almost over, and a preview of the guests for the next episode has also been released.

He deliberately used a voice changer to make it difficult to identify his true identity, and the sense of anticipation rose instantly.

Wang Yiran couldn't wait to check Weibo and forums to see the audience's reactions. A lot of discussion posts had already popped up:

"This is probably my favorite reality show so far this year. There are no mission settings, no plot themes, just like an old friend's farm stay, simple and slow life, it's very interesting to watch."

"Escape from the city, live in the countryside, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Zhou Yutang is quite good at variety shows. I suggest you stay here permanently."

"I guess the production team can't afford the Grand Commander. The most tearful thing is that Song Qian was so lonely last night. Who hasn't had the feeling of secret love? And Zhou Yutang is also very caring towards Song Qian. This Zhou Gou...why don't they just stay together?"

"Indeed, except for his philandering nature, Zhou Yutang's other qualities are really top-notch. It's normal to like him."

"I was so amused by a comment last night. The governor chose to go to the countryside to farm because of the stock market losses."

“Who knows when the second issue will be updated?”

"Please, please update it again, I will do anything!"

There are a lot of viewers paying attention to the new variety show "A Longing for Life".

Large-scale, multi-channel pre-publicity, coupled with Mango TV's continued use of Zhou Yutang as a hype gimmick, attracted countless viewers to stay in front of their TVs.

Many people just came to watch out of curiosity, but were attracted by the show.

It's not that the content is too explosive, but the rhythm is lifelike, plain and interesting, which makes people read it smoothly.

With the domestic entertainment god himself as a guest, “A Longing for Life” became a hot search on the night the program was broadcast.

At this time, Zhou Yutang was in London, because there was a time difference between the two places.

It should be midnight in China, but it is evening here in London.

Zhou Yutang had just finished a meeting with the data department of Jiangdong Sports Company when he received a message from Ni Ni: "Boss, the ratings are out. Mango TV's first episode averaged 3.07% and an audience share of 11.54. The online broadcast data will be counted later!"

The data department of Mango TV was so excited that they stayed up all night and reported the ratings data as soon as possible.

"so tall?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly surprised.

According to original expectations, the premiere ratings would eventually exceed 2, which is considered an ideal state.

This is already enough to qualify for a first-tier variety show.

I really didn’t expect the first broadcast to exceed 3 viewers. This is an unexpected surprise.

The Mango TV program team also submitted a report analyzing and summarizing the reasons for success and listing areas for improvement.

The program format, in which new and old friends chat and joke, share their insights into life in the context of rural life, has attracted many viewers who are under pressure from the city.

This also includes viewers who have been devastated by the recent avalanche-like stock market crash.
There are related hot search articles on the Internet. The governor suffered losses in the stock market and chose to go home to farm...

Entertaining yourself and enjoying nature is also a way of life.

Judging from the current ratings for the first episode, as long as the subsequent ratings can be maintained, another hit variety show will be born.

The first to try it out was Jiangzhong Group. The Hougu Rice Porridge launched by the company was sold out on the night the program was broadcast.

Other cleaning products, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, mobile phones, e-commerce, automobiles, food, condiments, home appliances, APP, and beauty products.
Sales have increased to varying degrees.

"Mr. Zhou, the prices for single-episode and full-season placements of 'Longing for Life' have come out."

The next day, when Zhou Yutang was enjoying dinner at a high-end restaurant in London, his general Zhang Yibei, who was in charge of variety shows, also called to report.

The first season of this program has about 5 rounds, and each round is recorded for about 3 days.

This adds up to about 15 days in total, and the total time is about 2 to 3 months.

But it doesn’t mean that all the hosts and guests stay in the Mushroom House. They also have work schedules, so the first season spans a longer time.

"Well, you said."

I heard from Zhang Yibei that Mango TV's "Longing for Life" is seeking advertising investment, and it's another astronomical figure.

Zhou Yutang put down his knife and fork, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he asked for a bottle of champagne.

The top domestic variety shows can sell for 5 million yuan in sponsorship fees for just one season, and with advertising investment, the starting price is billion yuan.

Those ace variety shows produced by Mingjie signed profit-sharing contracts with the TV stations. Even if the TV stations took the bulk of the revenue, they could still make a lot of money by eating the meat.

After the broadcast of "A Longing for Life", it was very popular, and the online broadcasting website B also received a large wave of traffic, and the number of member registrations increased significantly.

The trailer for "Wuxin: The Monster Killer" has been released and has attracted a lot of attention.

Good news came frequently from the country.

Liverpool Club's summer transfer window also went smoothly.

The Anfield Stadium was covered with a magnificent golden glow by the sun.

Zhou Yutang rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows and pushed the football into the blind corner of the goal 25 yards away.

There was a cameraman following him, recording the heroic performance of this wealthy owner on the football field.

"Amazing!"

Liverpool sporting director Edwards exclaimed in surprise, and Liverpool club executives applauded.

Who says foreigners don’t understand the ways of the world?

Zeng Li pursed her lips, withdrew her affectionate eyes from Zhou Yutang, and turned to talk to Ni Ni about her travel experience.

Ni Ni also admires Zeng Li very much.

The Qingyi Lady, who is so popular that she is extremely popular, basically only takes on one play a year.

Apart from the endorsement notices on hand, I spend most of my time enjoying life.

"Ode to Joy" has announced the main cast of actresses and has entered the final preparation stage. She is also traveling leisurely in the UK.

To be precise, it was a visit to relatives and a trip at the same time.

Zeng Li's sister settled in the UK after getting married.

After walking around Anfield.

Zhou Yutang, his team in the Premier League, Liverpool club executives, and new Liverpool coach Klopp, who had just agreed to a contract, started a meeting about the summer transfer window.

The Premier League season ends in May.

Liverpool performed poorly at the beginning of last season, but after the change of ownership, the king returned and the morale of the team was high. At the end of the season, they suddenly exerted their strength and won a series of consecutive victories.

The final season rankings are Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal in fourth place, with Tottenham and Liverpool in fifth and sixth place respectively.

The bad news: no Champions League.

Good news: there is Europa League to play.

Some friends may wonder why the sixth place can play in the Europa League.

This is thanks to the new policy of the Premier League this year: the fifth place in the league, the FA Cup champion and the League Cup champion will participate in the Europa League.

Chelsea won the League Cup and therefore finished sixth in the league, taking their place in the Europa League.

At the beginning, there were a lot of curses from the Red Army fans.

That's how fans are.

Even if the team wins, it will be criticized if the game is not entertaining enough.

But most of the abuse was borne by King Dalglish. Zhou Yutang was just the boss behind the scenes and did not participate in the specific operations.

After the end of the season, the official announced the termination of the contract with head coach Rogers.

"I have to say, boss, you have a good vision. Although there are many senior executives who are opposed to the Mbappe deal, they think it is not worth investing such a high transfer fee in a player who has not proven himself."

A middle-aged white man with glasses named Edwards said with spit flying: "But I must say, this is the future of the team."

A British orthodox Union Jack background.

This guy has no background as a professional player. He graduated from the University of Sheffield with a degree in information engineering. He first worked as a data analyst and scout in Portsmouth. Later, somehow he got enlightenment in Longchang.

His most commendable achievement was leading Portsmouth to win the second FA Cup in the team's history in the 2007-2008 season.

Fenway Group's old Henry recruited him, but he did not get along well with Liverpool's two coaches, Dalglish and Rogers.

Edwards believes more in data models, while those traditional coaches are quite conceited about their own vision.

Zhou Yutang took over old Henry's job, and Edwards immediately started to lick his new boss.

His attitude, ability and understanding of football club operations were recognized by Zhou Yutang.

So, he gloriously became a slave of three surnames.

He is still in the top management of Liverpool and often makes King Dalglish angry. The one who was sarcastic just now was the team's meritorious player Dalglish.

He worked very hard, and the two deals that were previously favored by the club owner Zhou Yutang have been completed under his promotion.

The two companies purchased Monaco's young talented player Mbappe for a total price of 1850 million euros.

He has not played for the adult team yet, but is known to have a lot of talent. However, he sprained his ankle not long ago, so he is suspected to be a glass man.

Suddenly, a wealthy man from the East made an offer, and the high-level meeting of the black shop Monaco quickly approved the deal.

Both parties were very satisfied and the club leased the boat back to Monaco for free for one year.

The other one is Kante, the beast midfielder of Caen in French Ligue 900, who is even cheaper at only million euros.

The former are the team's future reserve talents and will not have much impact on the future team coach's lineup planning.

This also shows that Zhou Yutang has a clear plan for the future of the Red Army.

The latter is a plug-and-play talent who achieves great things with little money, which just makes up for Liverpool's weakness.

"You are the wisest boss I have ever met."

After being given instructions, Edwards immediately expressed his loyalty. In fact, he was somewhat impressed by his new boss's vision and decisiveness.

Of course, I admire him more for being so rich and knowing how to spend money.
"Boss, you know a lot about football."

The new coach Klopp also praised the young Eastern tycoon who generously offered a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros.

"That's it for now. Report any situation at any time."

I took a few photos in the locker room meeting and shaking hands with the team's new coach Klopp, which was considered to have completed the publicity mission.

At the Sir Thomas Hotel, Liverpool's traditional gathering place, Zhou Yutang and club executives raised their glasses together.

As the club's owner, Zhou Yutang made no secret of his ambition: "I want the Red Army to stand at the top of Europe again within three years."

Next, Zhou Yutang did not plan to do any micro-management.

Professional matters should be left to a professional team.

In the past era of Ferguson and Wenger, a head coach with an extraordinary status was in charge of almost all the affairs of the club.

Such times are over.

In the future, football clubs will also be operated in a more scientific manner to ensure that they can maintain their competitive position while continuing to make profits.

No one thought of it.

At the beginning of the month, I was still dreaming that the A-share index would reach 6,000 points.

It unexpectedly fell by more than 17% in the next 30 trading days.

It fits that sentence exactly.

I saw tall buildings go up, and I saw them collapse.

9000 million retail investors in A-shares fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

Those who have not experienced this stock market crash will not understand the despair felt when the market opens green every day.

The technical adjustment that experts promised did not come. Since the end of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, a new batch of investors rushed into the market to buy at the bottom and save the market, which triggered a rapid and sharp decline in prices.

At a recent corporate forum, Mr. Wang of Huayi had already called out the slogan of sprinting towards 100 billion yuan, but ended up suffering a heavy blow, with Huayi's stock price falling back to more than 70 billion yuan.

Wang Changtian of Guangxian is also having a hard time.

Mingjie, the entertainment leader, has also suffered a certain impact, with its market value evaporating by billions.

Some media outlets even compiled a list of celebrities in the film and television industry who suffered losses during this month's stock market crash.

Huayi's stock price plummeted, and Huayi's Wang Da and Wang Xiao finally overpowered Zhou Yutang in this matter.

Brothers Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming also lost a lot of money, including CEOs of listed companies such as Wang Changtian.

How can there be no eggs in a full nest?
Zhou Yutang, who suffered such a huge loss for the first time, was quite open-minded about it.

This magnificent trend is absolutely beyond human control.

but.

Mingjie Company is not completely without any response.

Zhou Yutang attached great importance to this matter. While he was in Shanghai to attend the Shanghai Film Festival, he spent a large part of his energy on this aspect.

As early as late June, Mingjie Company had already issued an "Announcement on Suspension of Trading Due to Major Events" with sufficient reasons.

“The company is planning major overseas investment projects related to its business operations.

The areas involved in this investment project are mainly related to the Internet and film and television industries. The company's investment amount is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan.

Given that this investment project involves multiple listed companies and there is great uncertainty, in order to safeguard the interests of the majority of investors, the company has applied to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for a suspension of trading of its shares! "

The suspension of trading caused by the merger of listed companies is a practice allowed within the rules of the game.

As for when the stock will resume trading, it is hard to say.

After all, for a project with such a large amount of funds, the procedures to complete the transaction are relatively complicated and a lot of information needs to be submitted.

Anyway, it's all about the interests of each other, and there is a lot of flexibility in the specific results and time of completion.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission has asked the company's management to prohibit selling within six months.

It doesn't matter.

Neither Zhou Yutang nor Tian Ming will definitely sell it.

There is no tide that only rises and never recedes. Mingjie, who has monopolized China's variety shows, has been too popular before, so it would be good for him to cool down.

Tian Ming, the CEO of Mingjie Company, flew to the UK at the end of June.

At that time, the variety show "The Voice of China" was a typical example of cultural export, which made the leaders at the top very proud.

Tian Ming took the lead in signing a cooperation contract with the British TV station, and the profit-sharing contract signed was also linked to the ratings.

The ratings of variety shows are declining now, and are certainly not as good as when they first started, but they make money in pounds, which is still pretty good.

"I'm afraid that many people will lose their heads this time."

When the two brothers talked about this matter, Tian Ming revealed some inside information.

"Brother Ming, what do you say?"

"If the situation continues to develop within the time limit, someone will have to be held accountable."

Tian Ming's information will basically not be inaccurate.

The panic is serious, and even the entry of the national team will be of no help. The market cannot be saved by just a statement from the securities firms.

Those who are in their positions cannot escape, including Lemon Man, who has been in the limelight in private equity, and he will probably have to go to jail.

Now that Mingjie is suspended from trading, this matter has little to do with Zhou Yutang.

After several days of meetings to explain the club's affairs clearly, Zhou Yutang was about to return and finally had time to take care of his own personal affairs.

On the way to the restaurant where I was going to meet Zeng Li's sister.

Zhou Yutang closed his eyes and listened to Ni Ni's report that the directors of the film purchasing departments of several TV stations had already gone to Beijing.

Several dramas produced by Jiangdong in the first half of the year were all very popular.

Although he has reached a tacit understanding with Zhou Ningfeng in private, this is the Internet age, and Jiangdong Entertainment's film and television information is no secret.

"Let Sister Shuang talk slowly. It's not a loss anyway."

"As for Detective Chinatown, Tyrande has already made contact. Lin Liang said he's waiting for you to make the final decision on the casting."

"Wait until I get back."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly.

He has been following the preparation progress of Detective Chinatown.

Once I finish the things at hand, I can go back and advance the project.

The Thames sparkles and reflects the stars.

The meeting place was set at a high-end Chinese restaurant run by a Chinese.

Zhou Yutang was really not interested in fish and chips, but he certainly wouldn't treat his stomach badly.

Zeng Yu was about to meet her "brother-in-law" for the first time and was extremely excited.

At first, Zeng Li hid the truth from her family, but gradually she could no longer hide it.

The main thing is that the sisters grew up together, and they can talk about anything and never shy away from talking about their feelings.

But when Zeng Li revealed her cards, Zeng Yu was still confused.

When my elder sister was working with the Grand Commander in "Want to See You", rumors of an elder sister-brother relationship began to circulate.

Zeng Li didn't admit it at the time, so it turns out that it wasn't a rumor! ?
Even though Zeng Yu settled abroad, the name Zhou Yutang is still well-known.

In the past ten years alone, who among the Chinese has not watched the TV series and movies produced by Jiangdong Entertainment?
The number one person in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Call the shots in Hollywood!

Countless brilliant achievements and halos added to Zhou Yutang's divine glory.

The thing that had the biggest impact on Zeng Yu was that Zhou Yutang spent billions to acquire Liverpool.

This incident not only caused a sensation in China.

It even has a great impact worldwide.

She saw it with her own eyes.

British media, both large and small, have reported on this matter in a very grand manner.

They collectively call him the entertainment tycoon from the East.

It is quite similar to the grand occasion when Abramovich took over Chelsea.

ps: Even dogs don’t trade in stocks!
