China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 677: The Emperor of Internal Entertainment, the Most Beautiful
Jiang Shuying, who just took on the big job of "Mr. Good".

When a reporter asked about their relationship during an interview on a certain program, Jiang Shuying hesitated and said, "The past is the past, I hope everything will be fine in the future."

The media has a sharper nose than a dog.

Such an ambiguous answer made them sense that something was wrong in her relationship with Hu Ge.

"I want to say that I have loved, I love the memories, I love the girl I know, I am already content, when I wake up from the dream, I look at the world from afar, I am sorry, I have let everyone down."

"I will continue to enjoy my time alone. Loneliness is precious and solitude is hard to come by."

Hu Ge posted several Weibo posts that night, causing an uproar in the entire circle.

"Old Hu, you're not drunk, are you?"

Zhou Yutang was working overtime on post-production at the company in the evening. He called Liu Shishi after receiving the message.

"I just had a few drinks, it's not a big deal."

"It's not a big problem, it just became a trending search."

Zhou Yutang teased, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing."

Hu Ge's voice was inexplicably low: "In fact, we rarely met last year. It's still decent to break up now, but I'm a little unwilling."

Zhou Yutang thought about it.

Last year, Lao Hu seemed to be busy with the drama performance of "Dream Like a Dream" led by Lai Shengchuan.

"Just take it easy. Let's have a drink together in a few days."

"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk."

Hugo laughed.

You can tell that although he is pretending to be nonchalant, his laughter cannot hide his loneliness.

This eight-month low-key relationship has come to an end. The people in Hu Ge’s studio reacted quickly and deleted those Weibo posts in seconds.

But the Internet has memory, and the screenshots have been firmly nailed to the entertainment headlines.

Hu Ge is one of the most popular young actors in the domestic entertainment industry besides Zhou Yutang.

Now "Now You See Me 2" is being promoted vigorously, and there is also a Jiangdong S-level drama, in which he is also the male lead.

Zhou Yutang was chatting with Liu Shishi when he suddenly received a call from Li Binbin. He was a little surprised:

"Sister Binbin?"

"Yu Tang, it's me."

Li Binbin smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries. Without further ado, he asked directly, "I heard that you just came back from Hollywood. Have you reached an agreement on the project with Warner?"

"Sister Binbin, your information is really accurate."

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yutang's lips.

It’s not easy for any big actress to become famous.

Sister Lianhua’s overall abilities are no worse than Teacher Fan’s. With the help of her best friend Wendi Deng a few years ago, she made it into Hollywood and has all the information channels there.

Zhou Yutang's collaboration with Warner on "The Meg" has not yet been officially announced, but she has already received inside information.

Sister Lianhua tried hard to build closer relations, and her cautiousness mixed with attempts to please, simply trying to get the role through the back door.

Zhou Yutang smiled and calmly dispelled her thoughts: "Sister Binbin, the leading actress has been chosen."

Several reports from Hollywood, along with Zhou Yutang, crossed the Pacific Ocean and set off a sensation in the domestic film and television circles.

"Hollywood princess Anne Hathaway has been hand-picked by Zhou Yutang to star in the musical romance film La La Land, which is co-produced by Jiangdong International Films and New Line!"

"The gold medal producer under the Oriental Entertainment tycoon has completed a meeting with the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures and will soon officially announce a major Sino-US co-production project!"

"It is reported that the film "The Meg" jointly produced by Jiangdong International Pictures and Warner is in preparation. The production cost is 1.5 million US dollars, and the actors are to be determined!"

……

Anne Hathaway, who just starred in "Interstellar" last year, took a pay cut to take the "La La Land" job, but it did not cause much waves in China.

After all, according to the information disclosed, the production cost was only 3000 million US dollars.

It might be considered a big project in China, but in Hollywood, it can't even be ranked.

On the contrary, it was the Hollywood A-level production "The Meg" that attracted the attention of many actresses in the circle.

How to improve the status of celebrity artists?

The most direct and effective way is to star in influential commercial productions.

The fact that capital is willing to pay for celebrities to participate in such projects is also a recognition of the value of the celebrities themselves.

"Could it be Fan Binbin?"

Li Binbin, who received the news of the internal appointment from Zhou Yutang, didn't sleep well for several days.

She and Teacher Fan are known as the "Double Ices" and have often been compared to each other by the media.

Sister Lianhua appears to be calm and composed on the surface, but she is secretly competing with Teacher Fan.

She used all the connections she could. According to the information she had obtained, Zhou Yutang had taken Teacher Fan to a private cocktail party in Los Angeles.

However, Zhou Yutang did not reveal much information, which made her anxious.

the other side.

Teacher Fan followed the crew to Vancouver to continue filming and also received the news.

After receiving Zhou Yutang's definite reply, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

but.

Since neither Liu Yifei nor Liu Shishi are the heroines, Teacher Fan feels balanced.

After all.

Zhou Yutang is at the helm of Jiangdong. When he manages high-quality film and television projects, the first thing he considers is definitely the artists from his own company.

Reba has been in the limelight recently. "Pretty Li Huizhen" continues to be a hit, with the highest ratings exceeding 2, and her popularity has soared.

Business resources came one after another, and I was extremely busy.

In addition, the second part of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series is scheduled for next year, so she will need to devote a lot of time to training to adapt to the role.

Nazha has been quite free recently, except for appearing on the cover of ELLE magazine in October.

In addition, there are several variety shows to promote the movie.

In the remaining time, I will do yoga and Pilates.

Or go shopping and relax.

When she heard that Zhou Yutang had returned from abroad, she immediately dressed up beautifully and rushed to the company.

Zhou Yutang was working on the post-production of Tang Detective at Vision Media downstairs, so she chatted with Mao Xiaoyu about the gossip about the number one actor in Tangren.

"We broke up a long time ago, but it just hasn't been revealed yet."

"Is this true? Why did you break up?"

"Why did they break up? We just had a fight. Last year, Lao Hu focused on performing in a play, and the two of us didn't communicate well. Gradually, there was more and more estrangement between us, and we were apart more and more, so we broke up."

“It’s quite a pity.”

The breakup between Hu Ge and Jiang Shuying is the hottest social topic at the moment, and even Jiangdong Company is watching the news.

When she heard that Zhou Yutang had come up, Nazha stood up and returned to her own little world, saying confidently:

"Brother, I think I need to spend more time with you, otherwise you might not want me anymore one day."

"You are my sweetheart, how could I not want you?"

You have to be more subtle with Da Meiyu, but be direct with Nazha.

As expected, Nazha's eyes were full of smiles:
"Really?"

"When have I ever told a lie?"

"Ah, but I see those big foreign horses, each one is very big."

Naza looked at her own small chest and sighed: "Brother, you won't dislike it, right?"

"It's okay, the little ones are cute too."

Zhou Yutang's lips, of moderate thickness, unconsciously lifted slightly.

He is surrounded by flattery and deception in the business world.

When I'm with Nazha, listening to her clear and nonsensical speech, I sometimes feel relaxed unconsciously.

This has nothing to do with appearance, the key is emotional value.

Without dwelling on the big bear issue, Zhou Yutang coaxed her a little bit, and Nazha became cheerful again, sharing that she had just been shopping in Sanlitun with Jiang Shuying not long ago.

"Are you familiar with Jiang Shuying?"

"Not very familiar."

Nazha smiled and said, "We met on a variety show last time. I think we got along well. She even said she would book a theater to support us. When will we start the roadshow?"

"Wait until the end of the month. I've already told Zhou Shufang that you should reserve your time from the second half of the year to the first half of next year to study spoken English first."

"elder brother."

Nazha suddenly raised her head from Zhou Yutang's arms, as if she had thought of something. Her bright eyes widened and glowed, "You mean, the movie The Meg?"

"Yes, don't tell anyone yet."

Zhou Yutang rubbed Nazha's delicate face with a hint of pampering, "When the time comes, Chen Xi will take you abroad for secret training for a period of time."

In this version of "The Meg", he slightly changed the script, and Nazha played the leading female role, the Chinese female scientist.

"Are you going abroad again?"

"I'll come to see you then."

"Brother, you are so nice to me!"

There is less than half a month left until the release of "Now You See Me 2".

The Sixth Princess made an appointment for an interview program in advance, and Zhou Yutang gladly accepted the invitation.

As for popular outdoor variety shows such as Go Fighting and Running Man, they were left to Deng Chao, Nazha, Hu Ge and Jay Chou.

This kind of highly competitive outdoor program requires everyone to disregard their image and let go of all kinds of mutual harm and fighting to achieve the desired program effect.

With Zhou Yutang's status, who would dare to make fun of him?

It's a bit like the emperor's secret visit, which goes against the original intention of the program and doesn't seem to be very interesting.

Hu Ge, on the other hand, was unsuccessful in love but extremely successful in his career.

The impact of the breakup continues to ferment.

However, Tangren's number one brother did not mention this matter in public.

He was so busy that after the Noon Sunshine drama "The Disguiser" was completed, he immediately got another big job.

Mr. Jiang Wei, who directed "The Hidden Corner", is back to shoot the urban workplace drama "The Hunting Ground", and has already cast Hu Ge.

After consultation between Jiangsu TV and Shanghai TV, they both officially announced that "Nirvana in Fire" starring Hu Ge will be broadcast on September 9th.

Meilang from Jiangzuo is cold and weak, with an elegant temperament.

During prime time on several TV stations, the trailer for Nirvana in Fire was played on loop.

"The Burning Sun has been released for three weeks, and the total box office has reached 4.92 million yuan. The daily box office is still stable at million yuan, and the million yuan threshold is just around the corner!"

Relying on word of mouth, the company has come this far with perseverance. In the medium term, the company increased its investment in publicity resources and indeed achieved returns beyond expectations.

Such outstanding box office performance has attracted the attention of film and television companies in the industry.

This doesn't seem like a realistic movie at all, and its box office performance is even stronger than many so-called commercial films.

Industry experts analyzed that this might be the result of Jiangdong’s famous brand, the current popularity of crime drama movies, and Jiangdong’s multi-channel publicity.

Since the beginning of the year, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" had 19.39 billion, "The Accidental Detective" had 15.31 billion, and "The Piano Tuner" had 9.12 million, plus the current box office of "The Sun Also Rises".

Jiangdong Entertainment’s box office revenue is nearly 5 billion!
Including "The Return of the Great Sage", which has completed its extension, the total box office has reached nearly 70 billion!
The industry has seen Zhou Yutang’s horrific achievements, like an emperor dominating the film and television circles of the Celestial Empire.

In addition to being shocked, it is still shocking.

After Zhou Yutang made youth campus themes popular, new traffic codes emerged. A large number of crime-themed movies sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, and at the same time, many animated film projects were also launched.

Also at this time.

"Mission Impossible 5" and "Minions" were released one after another.

These two imported blockbusters were a huge hit on the first day, with both box office revenues exceeding 100 million yuan, which made the domestic films released at the same time suffer a great loss. The ceiling was decorated with lights simulating the starry sky, which shone dimly.

It fell on Liu Yifei, who was wearing a black floral dress, making her skin, as white as snow, seem to be glowing.

She leaned back on the comfortable sofa, hugged her shoulders with both hands, and said nonchalantly:
"Brother Tom is so handsome."

"It's still a little worse than me."

Hearing a hint of sourness in her tone, Zhou Yutang pursed his lips slightly.

Since returning from Hollywood, Zhou Yutang has been involved in many scandals.

The more outrageous statement there is that the big-mouthed beauty who has been badly criticized in the past two years cheated on her husband and clung to the thigh of an oriental entertainment tycoon.

There are many similar scandals.

Liu Yifei couldn’t accept it at first, but after seeing it more often, she gradually understood it.

A man like Zhou Yutang, who is handsome, wealthy, generous, considerate, romantic, has unique taste, and has a high status and profound temperament.

For women, it has a fatal attraction.

She's not the only one who likes it.

Zhou Yutang has a strong resistance to beauty.

She was very relieved about this.

Sometimes Liu Yifei would just ignore him, and occasionally she would lose her temper, which was like telling Zhou Yutang:
——Come and comfort me.

Of course Zhou Yutang would not compete with Nicole's ex-husband.

Lao Deng is 53 years old this year.

Tom Cruise also burned himself in this movie.

That stunt shot of him hanging from the plane.

No CGI technology was used. In order to achieve the best shooting effect, Tom Cruise personally took part in the film and actually hung on the side of the plane.

Admirable indeed.

Anyway, Zhou Yutang, who cherishes his life, feels that he can't do it.

He folded up the partition in the middle of the seats, locked them together to form a bed, then reached back and put his arms around Liu Tianxian's soft waist.

The thin skirt felt like gauze. Liu Tianxian struggled a little: "How shameless! Don't move, you stinky little Zhou."

"Okay, okay, I won't move."

Although he agreed verbally, Zhou Yutang's hand was very obedient. He skillfully sneaked in and suddenly landed on the plump thigh of the fairy.

The long-lost wonderful and delicate touch, a little higher, was clamped tightly, and Miss Liu's voice trembled: "Not here."

“There’s no surveillance.”

The gentle voice broke down Miss Liu's defenses.

To be honest, she was very satisfied with the environment of this exclusive starry sky cinema. It was obvious that Zhou Yutang had put a lot of thought into its arrangement.

As for Zhou Yutang.

In his own Jiangdong Cinema, he is the one and only king.

It is not difficult to specially customize an exclusive starry sky cinema open only to him.

Post-production work for a movie is rather boring, but taking a break from the busy schedule to meet a beauty is quite interesting.

It was a pity that he was not able to achieve the achievement of cultivating immortality in the cinema. His phone kept ringing several times. His desire receded like a tide. Zhou Yutang picked up the phone and saw:
"Mr. Han?"

"I'm a retired comrade, just call me Lao Han."

Liu Yifei blushed and straightened her dress. Her interest was interrupted. Zhou Yutang teased, "Boss Han, I heard that your Emei Film Studio held a Jianghu Sword Contest in Chengdu last month?"

"What sword fight?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Just a few old friends, a small gathering, how is the post-production of Tang Detective's movie going?"

"It will take some time."

"Do you have time tonight? Zhang Qiang is in Beijing and wants to talk to you."

"Mr. Han, since you asked, I must be free."

After hearing what Han Sanping said, Zhou Yutang came back to his senses and smiled helplessly, "Boss Han, from what you said, you want to help Brother Qiang?"

"Just a meal, Curry is here too."

Han Sanping smiled and said, "You can talk however you want. I'm just delivering a message."

"Then let's just do business?"

“It has to be business as usual.”

Across the phone, the two foxes, one big and one small, smiled at each other.

it is more than words.

The fact that Zuoshandiao was able to organize this dinner party was already a favor.

Zhou Yutang’s interests must not be reduced by a single cent.

"Xiao Zhou, do you have anything to do tonight?"

"Han Sanping invited me to dinner in the evening."

Zhou Yutang had already stood up and glanced at the customized Tissot watch: "It has something to do with you."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Yifei smoothed her soft black hair and opened her bright eyes with some curiosity.

"Brother Qiang from Alibaba, the one who made the promise to Aunt Liu."

The Zhang Qiang mentioned by Han Sanping is Brother Qiang, the CEO and executive director of Alibaba Pictures and a giant in the film and television industry.

Before following Teacher Ma, Brother Qiang had always worked with Han Sanping and belonged to the Emei Film Studio faction.

That's why big brother Han Sanping came forward to set up this situation today.

"That was a long time ago at Emei Film Studio."

Following Zhou Yutang down the exclusive passage directly to the garage, Liu Yifei was quite interested in these old stories in the film industry.

She wanted to know, so Zhou Yutang told her the trick.

The younger generation may only know the well-known film and television leaders such as Jiangdong, Huayi, Guangxian, and Bona.

In the eyes of the older generation, the Shanghai Film Studio, Changchun Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, Emei Film Studio, and Bayi Film Studio of the last era are the eternal beautiful memories of Chinese films.

Emei Film Studio was established in 1958, and Han Sanping started working at the studio in 1975.

He started as a lighting master and became the director of Emei Film Studio. He then rose rapidly to become the leader of the Chinese film industry.

This experience is legendary.

There are also many famous actors who have the label of Emei Film Studio.

Such as Feng Zhe, Li Yalin, He Xiaoshu, Jin Di, He Xiaoshu, Pan Hong, Zhang Fengyi, Sun Chun, etc.

There is also Zhu Lin, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, who is loved by the audience.

Even many big names active in the entertainment industry today have deep ties with Emei Film Studio.

Li Xuejian won the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award for his performance in the Emei Film Studio's Jiao Yulu; Zhao Benshan's earlier film All Guests Are Guests was co-directed by Emei Film Studio director Ma Shaohui; Ge You's film The Troublemakers was directed by Emei Film Studio director Mi Jiashan.
After integrating resources in 2003, Emei Film Group was formally established. It has developed from a simple film studio to a film and television industry group that integrates the entire industry chain of film and television product production, distribution, and screening.

Along the way, we imparted knowledge to Miss Liu, and the dinner venue in the evening was a high-end private restaurant in Beijing.

"Sorry, there was a traffic jam. I've kept you waiting for a long time."

When Zhou Yutang walked into the box, Han Sanping stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Yutang is here, Yifei is here too, come and sit down."

"Mr. Zhou, Yifei."

Zhang Qiang and Ke Liming also stood up together. When they saw Liu Yifei, they were a little surprised, but quickly greeted her warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Ke."

After Liu Yifei greeted everyone politely, she sat down next to Zhou Yutang.

"Mr. Zhou's film 'The Return of the Great Sage' has a total box office of 19.18 billion yuan, which is really a benchmark for the entire Chinese animation industry. Audience demand is strong, and it is entirely possible to apply for a one-month extension key. There is a good chance that it will break 20 billion yuan."

Coley Ming of Ruyi Films is an eloquent speaker, and he starts off with an emotional exclamation of praise.

"Haha, Mr. Ke, you're flattering me."

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "This is the limit of my potential. There's not much point in staying any longer."

"Monster Hunt" used every trick in the book, and the first key extension is about to end, with a total box office of only 16.45 billion.

"Boss Zhou is still at a higher level. I'll toast to you."

Ke Liming was very straightforward. Zhang Qiang was interested in the cinema chain's affairs. "Mr. Zhou, you must have heard about the recent "Hundred Regiments Offensive". It was quite a big deal."

"This is a red-letter document from seven ministries. Cinemas also have task targets."

"Haha, eat food, eat food, this restaurant tastes good."

Han Sanping didn't let the topic continue and invited them to eat.

Tonight a veteran Sichuan cuisine master will be cooking in person.

The gourd duck, Kung Pao chicken, rose beef, bud tripe, mandarin duck fish cake, etc., are all delicious.

This was Zhou Yutang's first time coming to this place.

The mountain eagle hides quite deeply.

Zhang Qiang chatted with Han Sanping about the old days of Emei Film Studio. Han Sanping put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Times are changing too fast. Even a retired old man like me can't understand the current film market."

"Yes, if you don't keep up with the times, it will be difficult to make a name for yourself in the future."

Zhang Qiang continued, "Boss Zhou, Boss Ke and I are both very sincere about the project of Eternal Love."

Cooperate to develop copyright according to their ideas.

At that time, Liu Yifei will play Bai Qian, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Zhou Yutang plays Ye Hua, a man with divine grace and a smile that can make the three thousand worlds shine.

This pair of perfect couples, coupled with "Eternal Love", the most popular IP of fantasy romance.

By then, the box office will be a huge hit, no doubt about it.

"There is data logic behind any commercial development of IP. When we at Alibaba develop IP, we first analyze big data, including potential markets, expected consumer data, and merchant data."

Zhang Qiang is undoubtedly a talent, and he also has a background in investment banking.

One big pie after another, all exaggerated.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your kindness. Forget about the cooperation. My schedule for the next two years is full."

Zhou Yutang raised his glass towards Zhang Qiang and said with a smile, "The film copyright is fine. You can contact Li Shuang when the time comes. I wish you all the best in the development."

"Xiao Zhou, the people at Alibaba are really brave enough to brag."

After the dinner, Liu Yifei couldn't help but say in the car: "The project hasn't even been completed yet, but they're guaranteeing a 2 billion box office."

"How can it be so easy to collect data, promote IP hot spots, and create hot products on an assembly line?"

In fact, the concept of creating film and television IP was first proposed by Zhou Yutang.

At that time, it directly led to version updates in the film and television industry. Later, Zhang Yiming's ByteDance became popular, and the Jiangdong film and television industry gained another weapon, big data.

But at the end of the day, content is king.

The audience is not stupid. If your movie is not good, you will be ridiculed even if you market it to the sky.

Jiangdong Entertainment has Zhou Yutang in charge. The minimum requirement for the film and television projects produced by the company is to be high-quality, and at least the audience must think they are good.

“Then do you still sell copyrights?”

"Sell, why not sell?"

Zhou Yutang laughed: "He wants the movie rights, just give it to him."

By then.

The TV copyright of "Eternal Love" is still in its own hands, and the profit from reselling the movie copyright can be hundreds of times.

Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that great?

As for Alibaba’s strategy for creating blockbuster entertainment big data.

I can only wish Brother Qiang good luck.
