China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 688: Official announcement of Nazha, causing a sensation

The Jiangdong team caught this huge wave of traffic and stood at the center of the storm.

"Commander Zhou, awesome!"

Wanda Prince Wang also posted a Weibo to celebrate.

He is also an avid gamer and even registered as a professional player in his own IG team.

He received start-up funds for several small dream goals from Wanda’s Wang, and even announced that he would integrate the e-sports industry.

At present, the business is only halfway started and we are working hard to integrate the Sanlitun bar street.

Just last Halloween, some netizens revealed and posted a picture of Wanda Xiao Wang's luxury drink bill that cost him hundreds of thousands of yuan at a bar in Sanlitun that night.

There was feasting and feasting, and people were intoxicated.

The female internet celebrity who opened a Taobao store and was a hot topic some time ago is now a thing of the past.

Xiao Wang never lets himself be too lonely. With beautiful women around him, he is indescribably happy.

but.

He's been in trouble recently.

A female model wrote a short essay about him on Weibo, saying that the alcohol she drank with Xiao Wang was problematic.

Wanda Xiao Wang was a firecracker who got mad at anyone and started firing immediately: "In order to get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she betrayed her best friend. She has a very bad character at a young age and was kept by an old man. She introduced her classmates to other old men for kickbacks.

Some people say that I am bashing her because I failed to have sex with her. Come on, I have failed to have sex with her many times. Who do you think I am bashing?
You've been hanging out with rich guys since high school. How many times have you cheated on your boyfriend? Can you count them?"

Wanda Xiao Wang directly sued him for defamation and only claimed 1 yuan, which was quite willful.

Netizens were so excited to watch the fun that they left messages on Zhou Yutang's Weibo, calling on Governor Zhou to come out and take charge of the situation.

"When did Shanghai Theatre Academy produce such a talent?"

Ni Ni suddenly blurted out, "But I heard that the wine was drugged. Could it be obedient water?"

"What kind of nonsense is this? Where did you hear this?"

Zhou Yutang didn't quite believe that Wanda Xiao Wang, who had the power of money, would drug people.

"Online."

Ni Ni argued: "The current Internet environment is too bad, overseas fraud and online gambling are very serious, and there are also some kind of ecstasy drugs and obedient water..."

Well, it seems that the work is too leisurely.

Zhou Yutang began to reflect on whether the burden he had given was not heavy enough, and then he said, "Have you finalized the speech for the summit in two days? Also, the PPT for the year-end summary and the film and television plan for the beginning of next year can be prepared."

Ni Ni: “…”

Zhou Yutang had just heard the inside information from Tian Ming a few days ago.

It was just in November when the incident happened.

The former private equity giant who was once a powerful figure was taken away directly from the Hangzhou Bay Bridge.

There was no room for reaction.

The stock market has experienced major fluctuations this year, with A shares plummeting from a fierce attack on 6,000 points to a defensive battle at 3,000 points.

Countless people lined up to go to the rooftop, and countless masters lost their heads.

The private equity boss who is worshipped as a god by retail investors is suspected of manipulating the securities market with the amount reaching dozens of small targets. He is going to go to jail.

The one who was given the title of female stock god by people in the entertainment industry is still enjoying herself.

and.

The miraculous operation began again.

Before Alibaba Group extended an invitation to Youku Tudou’s board of directors and announced that it would fully acquire Youku Tudou Group.

The female stock god and her husband seemed to have anticipated this.

They made a low-key move in advance, frantically acquired shares of Youku, and waited for Alibaba's strategic layout to advance so as to cash in profits immediately.

"Tsk tsk, another two small goals."

People who don’t understand her might think she is really a born stock god.

After this news broke, everyone realized that the so-called female stock god was actually involved in insider trading.

After being named, the other studio responded quickly and posted a lawyer's letter, stating that it would take legal action to protect its rights.

Ni Ni looked at the female stock god covering her mouth in public relations on all platforms, and was a little indignant: "Boss, what kind of background does she have to have such a great influence?"

Zhou Yutang leaned over and whispered something in Ni Ni's ear.

The water here is very deep.

Kevin, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, brought his team to Beijing in early November.

I had a meeting with several Chinese producers of "The Meg".

Immediately afterwards, at the Film Bureau's lead, co-organized Film and Television Leaders Summit by Shanghai Film Group, China Film Group, China Directors Association Organizing Committee and other parties, more information about the Sino-US co-production "The Meg" was revealed.

Many conditions had already been negotiated privately before, and the purpose of holding this summit was to build momentum.

A cocktail party was arranged afterwards. The Warner Palace Fighting Champion of this year was in high spirits, with a smile all over his face. He enthusiastically shook hands and hugged Zhou Yutang:
"Zhou, congratulations on the huge success of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in the North American market."

"Warner's publicity and promotion are still on point."

Warner was responsible for the film's overseas distribution, and the North American box office grossed $1.28 million.

Compared to some box office monsters, it’s not that impressive, but it makes money in US dollars, which is pretty good.

As soon as Kevin took the position, he received a big gift package for newcomers and tasted the sweetness of cooperation with Zhou Yutang.

Whether it's "The Conjuring" or "The Purge" or last year's "Lucy".

They were all crazy money-making works, which brought huge profits to Warner Group and helped Warner become one of the top six Hollywood studios.

“I wonder, are there any plans for a sequel?”

It’s no wonder he cares so much; that’s always been the way Hollywood works.

As long as a movie can bring capital-level returns, sequels will continue to be released until all value is squeezed out.

"Take it easy first."

Zhou Yutang smiled and raised his glass to him: "I have other projects to do."

The selling point of this series of movies is the magic show.

When the first part came out, the audience was amazed.

By the time the second part came around, the expectation threshold was raised. Although it continued the popularity of the previous work, it is also a qualified commercial blockbuster.

But it is not difficult to see from the overall reputation that most of the audience are actually a little aesthetically fatigued.

"I heard from Bob that your movie Joker is a waste of your talent if you make that kind of art film."

Kevin also raised his glass, showed a kind smile, and tried to make a rosy promise: "Look at Marvel's superhero blockbusters. In the future, Warner will promote the DC Universe, which will be no worse than the Marvel Universe."
We have cooperated so many times, why not cooperate once more, with the popular series of heroes in the DC universe, as long as you agree, other conditions can be negotiated, including giving you a share of the box office revenue. "

"Oh?"

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the guy.

Perhaps it’s because seeing Marvel making so much money that the Warner executives are jealous and salivating.

How to realize the value of the DC Universe is also a problem that Warner has been trying to solve in recent years.

The great director Nolan made a good start in directing Batman, but he retired at the peak of his career and recommended Zack Snyder to Warner.

While The Owl Kingdom and Sucker Punch both lost money, Man of Steel made a profit of $4270 million.

If you don’t make a big profit, you will lose money.

Capital is so ruthless.

When you have no value, you will be abandoned without hesitation.

Director Zack Snyder currently has two projects on hand, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Justice League", which have not yet reached the kill line.

But this does not prevent Warner Bros. from starting to prepare and look for more big directors who are capable of converting the value of IP into US dollars.

Warner's financial department has calculated the exaggerated return on investment of several projects co-produced with Zhou Yutang, which still makes Hollywood feel incredible.

He also witnessed Zhou Yutang's miraculous use of five million US dollars to win the biggest prize at the Oscars.

Not to mention the crazy appeal of this Eastern entertainment industry tycoon in Asia.

In the eyes of this year's Warner Palace Fighting Champion.

Zhou Yutang is the chosen one.

So he gritted his teeth and added weight: "Zhou, if you are willing to take over, then I will make the decision and let you get a portion of the share and have the final editing rights of the new project."

"Are you serious?"

“Of course.”

This method of increasing money is really powerful, even Zhou Yutang is a little tempted.

This kind of superhero project, if managed well, has the potential to generate a billion-dollar box office.

"I need to think about it."

Seeing a smile on Zhou Yutang's face, Warner Palace Fighting Champion felt slightly happy.

His goal had been achieved, so instead of pressing him, he raised his glass towards him:

"Cheers to a wonderful night."

After the summit, the picture of Zhou Yutang shaking hands with Warner CEO, Ren Zhonglun, La Peikang and others dominated the headlines of major entertainment portals that day.
Many related news that broke out at the summit were officially announced by several producers, shocking the entire Chinese film and television industry.

[After "The Great Wall" opened the precedent for Sino-US co-production of blockbusters, another co-production blockbuster is coming! ]

[The Sino-US co-production "The Meg" project, which is controlled by Dongwu Films and Warner Bros. and jointly produced by China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, and Ruyi Culture, has officially started! ]

[The total investment of the film is 1.5 million US dollars. It will be directed by Joe Detto and produced by Zhou Yutang. It will star Guo Dashensen and Guli Nazha! ]

[Zhou Yutang: This is the first deep-sea monster blockbuster controlled by China. We do not rule out the possibility of exploring Chinese marine myths and developing a Chinese-language deep-sea adventure film! ]

For a moment, the media was in an uproar.

At that time, the Chinese film industry was booming and the entire film and television circle was in an uproar.

The Jiangdong Group has been making a lot of big moves this year, but this $1.5 million Hollywood A-level production can definitely be called a king bomb.

"This guy is really capable of making trouble."

In the Huayi conference room, Mr. Wang saw the news, curled his lips, and felt a little sour in his heart.

"Is Ke Liming familiar with him?"

When the King saw Colin Ming's Confucianism in the producer column, his brows knitted together.

"It seems that Zhang Qiang from Alibaba asked Han Sanping to connect me with Zhou Yutang last month."

The manager of the public relations department spoke up.

"This guy is also a big shot. He wants to expand the Confucian culture?"

President Wang tapped his fingers on the table, but his heart was slightly moved: "Ye Ning, he seems to have a good relationship with Zhou Yutang?"

"We have been cooperating for several years, so it should be reasonable."

If Colin can do it, why can't my king do it?

With Zhou Yutang around, Jiangdong Entertainment is booming. Huayi cannot beat it, but it can also find another way to achieve a win-win cooperation.

The key is to get on board and then proceed with capital-level operations.
As soon as the official announcement of "The Meg" came out, it was like a meteorite hitting the earth, causing huge shock in the film and television industry.

There are also many viewers watching the fun online.

"She's not a celestial being?"

"I thought it was a sister."

"The Grand Commander has a very good eye. Congratulations to the beautiful Nazha!"

"To be honest, Nazha is so beautiful that it's understandable that Governor Zhou couldn't resist her." Although Guli Nazha is a top-tier actress born in the 2s and her recent starring role in "The Martian" was a box office hit, it was indeed a boost for her to be cast in "The Meg."

This is the heroine of a Hollywood A-level blockbuster movie project, and she has divine resources that even big stars in the circle would envy.

The fans of various groups were very lively, and an anonymous netizen even posted a photo of Nazha and Zhou Yutang having supper together during the recent movie roadshow.

Naturally, the video was quickly deleted by all major platforms, and then there was a rumor that the main creators were having a normal dinner together.

This sudden official announcement certainly surprised many people, but the most fans could say is "Wow" about this movie with a cost of over 10 billion RMB.

But the melons that should be eaten are all eaten.

Everyone has long loved to hear about Zhou Yutang's gossip, and it is basically no secret.

At the beginning, she called him a scumbag and said some obscene words like "I'm sorry, goddess" and "number one sister".

But as his power grew and his position became higher, such voices became less and less common, and public opinion gradually shifted.

The bystanders who are just watching the show are not fools either.

If it weren’t for the brainless die-hard fans who have a built-in filter for female celebrities, no normal person would think that there is any female celebrity in the circle who is worthy of Zhou Yutang.

He is handsome and rich, but not married yet.

The male god of billions of girls in Asia and the national husband in the hearts of countless girls.

There are even marketing accounts that value traffic more than their lives. They fabricate a story that Governor Zhou is spotted by a big shot with a red background and wants to introduce him to the female juniors in his family in the hope of joining forces and integrating resources and connections.

Of course, some of the discussions are not groundless.

But those who know the inside story will not tell it, and the occasional information that is leaked will be fleeting.

Nazha’s team had already written a short essay, saying that this is the brother they recognized as soon as they entered the entertainment industry.

It's reasonable for a brother to take care of his sister, right?
Some actresses who got the news in advance and are still working in public relations are so envious that lemon trees are popping out of their eyes and their jealousy is so intense that their cells are breaking apart.
"The news from there is that there was no audition and it was directly decided."

"Gulinaza is really lucky."

"The Grand Commander seems to be particularly fond of beauties from Northern Frontier. Jiangdong has signed three female artists from Northern Frontier."

Guli Nazha had just made a stunning appearance in "Now You See Me 2" and then she got another offer from a Hollywood A-level production.

His status has been rising step by step, and now he is an international celebrity.

It would be a lie to say I don’t envy the big and small actresses in the entertainment industry.

Only fairies and the No. 1 sisters have enjoyed such divine treatment.

After the official announcement of the heroine of "The Meg", the media flocked to the film, wanting to get first-hand interview materials.

But at this time, Nazha was already abroad.

The preparatory work for this Hollywood A-level blockbuster will not be short. She will have to spend at least several months preparing before joining the crew.

Language is one thing, and there are also a lot of underwater scenes in the play, so Nazha had to undergo intensive diving training in advance.

She is abroad, living in a property owned by Zhou Yutang, which has its own heated swimming pool.

But I didn’t forget to send Zhou Yutang the swimsuit photos.

Zhou Yutang ignored the agent girl by the pool and listened to Nazha talking about a breakup in the entertainment industry: "Brother, do you know that Wang Luodan posted a short essay on Weibo, saying that he broke up with Zhang Jiajia."

"When did she start dating Zhang Jiajia?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned.

No matter how you think about it, it's hard to put Wang Luodan and Zhang Jiajia together.

The latter is also one of the author's most successful cases of transitioning to the film and television industry.

"Passing By Your World", which was written by himself, is directed by Beijing-based famous director Zhang Yibai and produced by King of Sunglasses, who is escorting it and is still hyping it up.

There is also another movie called "The Ferryman", which is even more explosive.

It attracted investment from Alibaba, with Zhang Jiajia directing and starring in the film, and invited Liang Chaowei and Jing Chengwu to star in a powerful lineup. Before the filming even started, the slogan of creating a super IP had already been shouted out.

"It's been a few months. The last time we went shopping, we were photographed. I heard that the pressure was too great, so we broke up."

Nazha knows all about this: "There is also the one who is very serious about Xue Xia, who also got divorced quietly. When he was handling the property transfer procedures at the Housing Management Office Transaction Center, the staff revealed the news, but it seems that he left the house with nothing."

"You are abroad, where did you get the news?"

"Xiaoyu's group, it's so interesting to listen to her talk about these things every day."

Nazha said cheerfully: "Brother, Ni Ni is here too, do you want me to add you to the group?"

"I'll forget it."

Zhou Yutang was also originally in Mao Xiaoyu’s gossip group.

But every day when I log into WeChat, I see 999+ messages, which is really unbearable.

So he left the group. Nazha, Liu Shishi and others would occasionally chat with him about gossip, which was quite interesting.

The post-production work for the final season of "Joy of Life" has finally been completed.

Zhou Yutang personally supervised the production, and the final season continued the tone of the previous two parts.

But in terms of excitement, the film has many climaxes and is much more exciting than the second part which focused more on the foreshadowing, so it can be considered a perfect ending.

"The Rise of Phoenixes" is the appetizer, the upcoming "The Journey of Flower" is expected to be a hit at the beginning of the year, and "Joy of Life 3" starring Zhou Yutang herself is the ultimate bomb, with the potential to be the best drama of the year.

"The screening can be arranged now. How is the preparation for "The Lonely and Great God" going?"

"Mr. Zhou, we have obtained the overseas filming permit, and the actors' contracts and schedules have also been arranged..."

Jiang Xueruo is reporting on the preparatory work, and she is truly a strong woman in the film and television industry.

Zhou Yutang gave orders and she was responsible for their execution. She did things as neatly and efficiently as always, without any procrastination.

The army has not moved, but the food and grass go first.

Before the official shooting, the crew's logistics must be prepared first.

After taking a look at the site survey photos on the tablet, Zhou Yutang nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Ruolan is still receiving one-on-one private training.

At that time, Liu Tianchi will also join the group.

"Mr. Zhou, how do you feel about managing a $1.5 million production?"

"It's okay. I have run many projects in Hollywood, and this time there are several powerful companies supporting this fund together, so the pressure is not that great."

Zhou Yutang in the picture is relaxed and talks freely: "The sequel of the Conjuring series will be released soon, and there may be a new project directed by me next year."

"A new project?"

"There is a Hollywood project, and we are still discussing it. I can't reveal too much details yet."

"Then I wish Mr. Zhou all the best."

Zhang Ruolan was lying on the sofa in her apartment, watching the latest interview clip about Zhou Yutang on Bilibili.

Nazha’s recent rise to international fame doesn’t make much of a difference to her, after all, it’s too far away.

However, receiving the first payment from the company made her excited.

College students work part-time as models, naturally not because they love the modeling career.

Just as she grabbed the olive branch thrown by Zhou Yutang, it was not for art.

After deducting the company's share and taxes.

One hundred and twenty-eight thousand.

It certainly can't be compared with the pay of some big stars.

It's not even as much as the tuition for further studies at the school at the foot of the mountain.

But Zhang Ruolan was already very satisfied.

At least she works part-time as a model, taking on odd jobs here and there, and each job only makes a few thousand yuan at most.

There is always progress.

Is not it?
As soon as she received the money, she transferred it to her family and kept some for herself for living expenses.

I took some time out to treat Zhang Yuxi to a big meal that she would normally not afford to have.

She is always grateful to this best friend.

If it weren't for Zhang Yuxi, I might have been just an insignificant internet celebrity and eventually graduated from the College of Continuing Education of Hangzhou University of Science and Technology.

Then you enter the society step by step, and perhaps achieve nothing.

I went on blind dates arranged by my family, got married and had children, and lived my life in obscurity.

And now.

Her life became different because of meeting Zhou Yutang.

Every night before going to bed, I always feel a little unreal and wonder if I am dreaming.

Until the book filled with many biographies of Ji Eun-tak appeared in front of me.

Zhang Ruolan was finally certain that she was the lucky one.

In my sister's words, it must be because your ancestors did good deeds that Governor Zhou chose you to play the leading role in his new play.

Thinking of her sister, Zhang Ruolan realized that this year's Double Eleven was approaching.

The temperature has started to drop in Beijing, but my hometown is in the south, so it should be fine.

She is the eldest sister in the family. Her two younger sisters grew up wearing her old clothes. Now that she has the financial ability, she will definitely compensate them.

She opened Xiaohongshu, a treasure APP she discovered by accidentally clicking on an advertisement while watching a live broadcast on Bilibili.

Artists from the Jiangdong group have already settled on Xiaohongshu, as well as many famous internet celebrities, who share interesting content on fashion, skin care, makeup, food, travel, etc.

"Sisters, this is probably the most detailed shopping guide shared for this year's Double Eleven. Dong Ge can't live like this anymore, so you must get skin care coupons."

"On Taobao, there are discounts on several brands that you definitely can't miss."

Zhang Ruolan, like many other young girls, was eager to buy something and quickly added a lot of things to her shopping cart.

There are new clothes for my younger brothers and sisters at home, and there are also many for myself.

Women, you must be nicer to yourself.

Shopping is undoubtedly a very happy thing. Zhang Ruolan was surprised to find that many internet celebrities were recommending the new autumn and winter styles of Yu Sheng Clothing.

After asking my younger brothers and sisters for their opinions, they actually also liked the Yu Sheng brand.

This Jiangdong treasure clothing brand has become popular among the younger generation in China, just like Adidas and Nike in China ten years ago, and is deeply loved by the people.

Even Zhang Ruolan's parents were quite supportive.

There is nothing else to say, even Governor Zhou occasionally wears Yu Sheng when he goes out in private, and the grade of this brand has instantly risen.

Besides, Zhang Ruolan had participated in brand shooting part-time last year and knew more inside information.

The clothes are designed by famous designers.

It is fashionable and stylish, made of solid materials, and most importantly, it is not expensive.

Apart from Yu Sheng’s autumn and winter coats, the rest of the items cost no more than two or three hundred yuan, which is a small amount of money to get both the inside and the outside.

This year, Yu Sheng Clothing signed Guli Nazha and Dilraba Beijiang sisters as their spokespersons.

A large proportion of Reba and Nazha’s fans are female fans, and their purchasing power is quite strong.

Promotional photo for the website homepage.

One is bright and generous, the other is exquisite and beautiful.

They complement each other and maximize the fashion expression.

Zhang Ruolan looked at it for a long time.

She wondered if that day would come for her too.
