China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 719: A Thirty-Year-Old Woman, Yang Mi's Shock
The relationship between Jiangdong Group and Tencent is currently in a honeymoon period.

Zhou Yutang nodded and allowed Tencent to participate in its own "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series of film and television projects.

On the one hand, it is to ease financial pressure.

After all, it is impossible for an online drama project with a cost of 1.5 million to pay so much money out of one's own pocket.

Tencent is extremely rich. It paid a premium to get the entry ticket and even has to use other resources to exchange it.

For example, Xingchen Games and Douyin have used Tencent's promotion channels to varying degrees to continue to attract new users.
"How much money did this bastard man make recently?"

In Beijing, Da Mimi, who had just woken up, watched the video of the joint press conference of Tencent and Jiangdong Announcing the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" film and television project, threw the tablet in her hand aside, muttering to herself.

Jiang Dong's "Detective Chinatown 1.5" released years ago perfectly continued the popularity of the Magic Pirates series, with a total box office of over billion yuan. It not only broke the peak box office record of the Chinese-language film industry, but also had a miraculous return on investment compared to the investment of only million yuan.

Now, the box office of "The Mermaid" is expected to reach 3 billion, and Jiangdong Entertainment is also one of the producers.

The 3rd season of Joy of Life, released after the Chinese TV drama series, set a record for single-episode sales in the Chinese TV drama industry.

Yang Mi used to pay more attention to her own status, but now that she has sat at the capital table, her perspective on things has subtly changed.

Stand at another angle.

I suddenly discovered how powerful the energy Zhou Yutang possessed was.

There are a lot of things to do today, but Yang Mi is trapped in the warm bed.

I wanted to lie down for another five minutes, but I opened my phone and couldn’t stop watching TikTok.

This Douyin was like a worm in her stomach. It knew what she wanted to see and pushed several short videos of Zhou Yutang.

There is his rags-to-riches story, a clip of his interview with the recently popular Stephen Chow, and news about his upcoming appearance at the Beijing TV Drama Fair.
Yang Mido glanced at the interview that Zhou Yutang and Di Lieba did together as a brother and sister for the promotion of "Joy of Life 3", and then the report that they were photographed going out for a midnight snack together.

"Slutty fox."

She pursed her lips and slid her slender fingers to cancel the like that she had accidentally clicked.

At the premiere of "The Mermaid" a few years ago, she had everything right, and she thought she could spend a memorable and enjoyable night with that man.

As a result, they were blocked by the two beauties from northern Xinjiang.

Da Mimi was very upset about this and reviewed and analyzed the situation afterwards.

As for these two beauties from Northern Xinjiang, Nazha is okay. She is pretty but doesn't seem to have much brains.

But this Reba is definitely not as simple as the cheerful and sunny foodie beauty she appears to be.

Although she is younger than me, she is very scheming, has great tea skills, and knows how to please men. I must be on guard against her.

I was browsing Douban to find some negative information about Reba, when my assistant called me.

"Sister Mi, the TV drama spring trade fair starts at 10:30 today, you can get up and get ready."

"Got it. Do you have any other plans this afternoon?"

"There's a fashion shoot."

"Push it to tomorrow afternoon."

After chatting casually about work for a while, Yang Mi checked the time and got up from the bed.

She took off her pajamas, soaked in the bathtub, and then wore only tight black lace underwear. She looked in the mirror and admired her naturally well-proportioned body.

The fair and slender neck and the beauty mole under the delicate collarbone are both very charming, and the curves where they should be are even more amazing.

The beautiful legs are slender and not skinny at all, and thanks to the well-trained waist that is as thin as a willow, the hip line is even more eye-catching.

At this time, Yang Mi thought of Reba, who was also marketing her waist-to-hip ratio, and couldn't help fantasizing in her mind,
"What did that bastard do after having supper with the Northern Frontier vixen last night?"

Yang Mi is very confident in the Jiangdong Grand Commander's resistance to beauty.

Judging from the average speed at which the man replied to messages, it was very likely that he had made love with that Northern Frontier Green Tea girl last night and then fell asleep in each other's arms.

She couldn't help but bite her teeth lightly, feeling a little resentful in her heart.

Zhou Yutang never concealed the fact that he was a sea king, nor did he promise her anything.

Instead, it helped her a lot.

When she got out of Rong Xinda and signed with Jiangdong, she got a lot of Jiangdong's resources, which helped her career to reach a higher level.

But ever since Yang Mi left Jiangdong Entertainment and started her own company, Mixing Media, she has not participated in any major projects controlled by Jiangdong.

Sometimes I think about it, Zhou Yutang is rich and powerful, and has everything under her control in the entertainment industry. Isn’t she also a big star with a net worth of over 100 million?

Even though their identities and status are very different, as long as Yang Mi doesn't rely on others, she can live a very comfortable life.

Thirty is a rather awkward age for a woman.

Even though your charm is at its peak and you have seen the world, you cannot avoid being urged to get married by your family.

She would always feel unwilling to find someone to rely on.

Once you have seen the sea, you will never be impressed by other puddles. Yang Mi always compares the men who tried to court her with Zhou Yutang in her mind, and all of them end up in complete failure without exception.

The most ridiculous one is a certain young Hong Kong tycoon who claims to have an extraordinary family background and is worth billions.

As a result, he met the Grand Commander and Boss Yang of Yinghuang chatting and laughing at a fair event. When he approached them, his attitude was respectful and humble.

Yang Mi figured it out.

In this extravagant circle, there is no such thing as perfect love.

What can she get by having a relationship with these men who score 60 or 70 points?

Sweet words and vows of love may move a young girl, but they are meaningless to a mature woman.

Besides, what if they got married?
Maybe they will change their mind and divorce in the future. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

In this case, why not find someone who can give you psychological and physical satisfaction, and who you can admire and respect from the bottom of your heart?
".I like the gentleness that is unique to women in their thirties
I know that the loneliness in the middle of the night is unbearable. You said you were too busy at work for thirty years without realizing it.
Picky, rotating, you choose again and again"

The message alert from the mobile phone interrupted the melodious song. Yang Mi glanced at it and her eyes lit up instantly.

Very good, that man will definitely attend the trade fair today.

Lei Zi's singing seemed to make Yang Mi feel happy unconsciously.

She opened her specially customized wardrobe with full action and chose a suitable outfit from the wide variety of brand-name clothes.

Yang Mi looked at herself in the full-length mirror again.

A white V-neck slim-fit shirt made of silk, with the cuffs rolled up, revealing a section of snow-white arms.

An elegant and delicate diamond-studded butterfly clavicle chain rests on her fair chest, complementing her pair of platinum diamond butterfly-shaped earrings, both of which are new models from Tiffany's series.

It is luxurious yet low-key, and beautiful in a relaxing way.

She felt like something was missing, so she took out a Piaget POSSESSION series ladies' watch from the cabinet under the dressing table.

The price is not too expensive, but it has a strong sense of design, and most importantly, it has a business atmosphere which is very suitable for today's occasion.

The lower body is a very comfortable black hip-hugging suit skirt, which tucks the chiffon shirt into it. The tight fit highlights the curve of the hips and makes the two already superior legs look even more slender.

The weather in Beijing is still a bit cold after the New Year, so Yang Mi chose CALZEDONIA letter stockings to match, and wore a pair of high heels.

The red lips are a little too bright, but overall, she has a strong aura without losing the charm that a woman should have.

When she arrived at the trade fair, she heard the thunderous cheers of the bees.

"Wow, Mimi is so beautiful!"

"Honey, I love you."

"The domineering female CEO is so cool and beautiful."

Yang Mi got out of the business car carrying her bag. She was not wearing a mask and waved naturally to the fans around her.

I even recognized a fan who was following me and chatted with her for a few minutes.

The full name of today's trade fair is the Beijing TV Program Spring Trade Fair.

It was a TV drama promotion conference organized by the Tianchao Radio and Television Program Production Association under the guidance of Long Xuan and the Radio and Television Bureau.

It aims to provide a platform for communication, cooperation, display and transaction for the film and television industry, and to promote the creation, production and dissemination of Chinese film and television dramas.

Relevant persons including domestic and foreign film and television production companies, broadcasting organizations, actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. will participate.

To some extent, this is a weather vane for China's film and television industry.

Mixing Media received financing from Shangshi Pictures last year, and its morale is high after the huge success of "The Pancake Man".

He has invested in several film and television projects in succession, especially those dramas, which are probably the main source of income for Mixing this year besides Yang Mi Business.

So this time all the top executives came out, and Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao had already arrived.

As one of the owners of Mixing Media, Yang Mi, who has a very busy schedule, attended the event in person, attracting a lot of media attention.

Standing at her own booth, Da Mi Mi, dressed in a suit and uniform with a Mi Hang Media logo on her chest, talked eloquently.

"I think this trade fair provides us with a good platform and has made a great contribution to promoting the prosperity and development of China's film and television industry."

Da Mimi’s words were as beautiful as she was.

There were industry insiders, reporters, and fans who had sneaked into the scene, all of whom were either holding professional equipment or raising their phones to take photos.

"Mi Mi, I heard that Mi Xing Media's "Dear Translator" is a collaboration with Jiangdong Entertainment. Can you introduce it to us?"

"of course can."

Yang Mi smiled happily and said: "At that time, Mixing had just started, and I took the script to ask Mr. Zhou, and he said it was no problem and the project could be done.

With his words, I felt relieved. Jiang Dong has rich experience in successful workplace dramas, such as "Misaeng" and "Mind Game", which are rare masterpieces. "Dear Translator" is also a workplace drama, but the professions are different. I think this is really an opportunity worth trying."

The reporters' eyes have begun to light up.

Everyone knows that Yang Mi has a close private relationship with the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Today, Mixing Media is promoting "Dear Translator", and it's even endorsed by the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, so it's really worth looking forward to.

The Jiangdong booth was the center of everyone's attention. Several TV station executives, who had not expected to find a bargain here, came forward to test the price.

Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao couldn't suppress their smiles.

Zhou Yutang is indeed a god-like figure who can turn stone into gold.

Just after Yang Mi intentionally released information such as "The Grand Commander of Jiangdong is very optimistic about this drama" and "It is of similar quality to "Misaeng", the heads of the film purchasing departments of several TV stations expressed great interest.

It was getting lively here when suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Boss Zhou is here!"

Everyone in the entire booth turned their heads, and some passers-by who were just watching the fun followed the crowd and rushed towards the Jiangdong booth.

During the Chinese New Year period, Governor Zhou stayed at home and rarely went out. This was his first appearance in a public event after the Chinese New Year.

"Jia Jie, I'll leave this to you. I'll go take a look."

After dealing with the deputy director of the Taiwan Film Purchase Department of Gan Province, Yang Mi turned around and handed the stall to Zeng Jia, and also brought her assistant to join in the fun.

Jiangdong's booth was naturally located in the most open central area, but the organizers still underestimated the popularity of the Grand Commander.
The surrounding aisles were packed with people, causing the security personnel on site to sweat profusely as they used electronic loudspeakers to maintain order.

When Yang Mi came to find Zhou Yutang, she was also speechless.

There are three layers inside and three layers outside. How do I get in?

The sister is a popular female star and has some idol baggage. Fortunately, the staff of the organizer was sharp-eyed and recognized Da Mimi. They enthusiastically made way for her and she was finally able to enter.

"It's Yang Mi! It's Yang Mi!"

Most of the people bustling around her were people from the industry, and they recognized her instantly.

Female celebrities who are very popular in China are always the focus of attention wherever they go. It is not uncommon to see them surrounded by fans and admired by them.

But today at the trade fair, if you throw a brick down, you might hit a famous producer, director, or the owner of a film and television company.

In such an occasion where there are relatively many high-end people, she has become the center of attention, with men around her staring at her and women looking at her with envy.

Yang Mi instinctively showed a professional and decent smile on her face and waved to the crowd.

Zhou Yutang just glanced at him casually, then turned around and started chatting with the middle-aged man in the executive jacket.

However, the attention of those around him was drawn to him.

You Xiaogang, chairman of the China Television Drama Production Industry Association, Zheng Xiaolong, a famous director in the drama circle, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, followed by a few people.

Leader Long Xuan, who often appears on TV news, also smiled and nodded at Yang Mi.

——Yang Mi was enjoying this moment quite a bit.

I'm actually already in this circle and can be considered a respectable figure.

If that man was standing on the top of the mountain, then I should also be standing above halfway up the mountain, right?
"The big star is coming."

"Good leadership."

Maintaining the necessary respectful attitude and polite greetings, Da Mimi said in her unique honey voice: "Director You, Director Zheng, please stop joking with me. Who dares to call himself a big star in front of President Zhou?"

She did not show excessive closeness to Zhou Yutang, but several people around her felt that the relationship between the two seemed not simple.

It was just a minor incident and no one cared about the details.

The official party set up the stage today, Zhou Yutang and the leader Long Xuan were the protagonists, and Yang Mi's presence was just a decoration.

It was precisely because of the important leader Long Xuan who was in charge and the need to make the scene beautiful that Zhou Yutang took out a day from his busy schedule.

Jiangdong Entertainment expected to cancel the movie screenings after the Spring Festival and put dramas such as "Signal" and "Ode to Joy" at this trade fair.

Including the recently completed "My Dangerous Wife" and "The Lonely and Great God", they also quietly appeared at Jiangdong Entertainment's booth.

"We must promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. Main-theme film and television dramas will be the top priority in the future."

The leader's speech was of high quality and very contagious.

But for industry insiders on the scene, Jiangdong Entertainment’s new drama is undoubtedly more attractive.

The poster of "Signal" starring Zhang Songwen and Li Xian exudes a suspenseful and mysterious atmosphere.

Zeng Li, Jiang Xin, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong, the five beauties from "Ode to Joy" dominate the screen with beautiful posters.

The stills of Gao Yuanyuan's perfect wife image attracted a lot of attention, but what was even more eye-catching was the concept poster of Zhou Yutang and Zhu Yilong walking out of the hazy fog side by side.

It has a strong sense of atmosphere and is bound to arouse people's imagination.

After the media finished taking pictures, the leader gave a brief speech and left the trade fair first. The Jiangdong Entertainment booth immediately became abuzz with excitement.

"Director Jiang, I want to talk to you about the first broadcast rights of "Signal"."

"I'll ask my boss for instructions. The price of Ode to Joy is not a problem."

"Director Jiang, can you please excuse me? When will Mr. Zhou's film, The Lonely and Great God, be released?"

Directors of film purchases from various TV stations and video platforms came in an endless stream, and the huge crowd almost submerged the Jiangdong booth. Jiang Xuehun and his team were busy receiving them, and they were so busy that they had almost no time to rest.

Many reporters from various media also came and took photos of the lively scene in the Jiangdong exhibition hall. Many industry insiders were moved.

“There have been trade fairs before, but nothing like today.”

"It's different when Zhou Yutang attends. His popularity is so high that he directly brings the whole trade fair to life."

"There are too many wolves and too little meat. This year, Jiangdong has only produced a few TV series. It's not a big deal. If you want to get a chance to watch Jiangdong's TV series, forget it."

"If I can't get those two, the "Dear Translator" co-produced by Jiangdongjia and Mixing Media, and the "Mr. Good" co-produced with Lemon Films are also worth a try."

"."

Yang Mi was a little dumbfounded.

Isn’t this too popular?
In the past, I got the information about Jiangdong's new drama being a big hit from news reports or Zhou Yutang's nonchalant words.

Only by being there can you truly feel the popularity of the film and television dramas produced by Jiangdong Entertainment.

Especially when she followed Zhou Yutang and saw the respectful attitude of the heads of the film purchasing departments of the first-tier TV stations, Da Mimi was a little shocked.

"That new drama hasn't even been finished yet, and people are rushing to buy it?"

"The Lonely and Great God" is still in post-production since it was completed last year, but several wealthy TV stations have already contacted it privately to make offers.

Moreover, the price quoted is even higher than that of the currently popular "Joy of Life 3".

Although the number of episodes is not as many as "Joy of Life 3", the price is still incredible. Once the news gets out, I'm afraid the entire film and television industry will be shocked.

The most important thing is that this is just a tentative price, leaving some room for improvement.

The purpose of making an early bid is to cut the Gordian knot, get ahead of competitors, and get a share of this hit drama starring Zhou Yutang.

However, Zhou Yutang was calm and not in a hurry to make a decision. He just let Jiang Xueruo talk first.

Yang Mi followed Zheng Xiaolong's group to the dinner, and then got into Zhou Yutang's car tacitly.

She is also a woman and she has physical needs.

The driver drove away first in the Maybach S600 armored sedan that was recently reported in the news as the Grand Admiral's car, and temporarily changed to a more low-key Mercedes-Benz S500.

In front of everyone, she acted as if nothing had happened. But when they were together in private, Yang Mi held Zhou Yutang's hand tightly with her legs, and she was unable to control her emotions.
"'Signal' is the first series to be exclusively broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV. The package price for 1.25 episodes is million yuan. LeTV, Tencent, and iQiyi have all expressed interest."

"The first round of Ode to Joy was won by Shanghai and Jiangsu Province, with 580 million per episode and 2.44 million in the first round. The video platform is still negotiating."

“Mango TV wants to book the exclusive first round of broadcast of “The Lonely and Great God” in advance, and the price is 950 million per episode.”

After sunset, Yang Mi leaned on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, listening to Jiang Xuhui reporting on the other end of the phone, her pupils dilated.

I used to feel a little complacent because the price of "Dear Translator" was raised to 300 million per episode because of Zhou Yutang's name. Now I think I was too narrow-minded.
None of Jiangdong's new dramas had a first-round box office of less than 300 million per episode. The little money he earned was nothing compared to Zhou Yutang.

The first round sales prices of "Signal" and "Ode to Joy" were still within her understanding, but "The Lonely and Great God" was too exaggerated.

Just based on Zhou Yutang's concept poster, a short clip, and not even a finished film, it was easily sold at a sky-high price.
"Is Mango TV having a hard time?"

Yang Mi couldn't keep calm. She stood up on her elbows, her body trembling.

"Let me tell you this, the price of a video platform is at least twice that of a TV station."

Zhou Yutang's fingers lingered on the softness that he could not grasp, with a faint smile on his face.

Da Mimi didn't care about the slight pain. Her mind was working rapidly. She felt that she couldn't figure out the account, so she turned around and took out her cell phone to calculate the income for Zhou Yutang.

Many times, making TV series in China is more profitable than making movies.

In addition to the first round of TV series, including online broadcasting rights, advertising investment, second and third rounds and overseas copyright sales, the subsequent income is also considerable.

The most important thing is that video platforms are spending money like crazy, and high-quality dramas are a guarantee of traffic, so it is not surprising that the copyright price of a single episode is higher than that of traditional channels.

Since the entertainment industry entered the capital era, the market has become so exaggerated.

After being reset to zero several times, Da Mimi's heart began to beat wildly. "Just in this trade fair, the first round of sales of the four dramas combined can exceed 700 million!?"

"No, no, we have to give him a share of our own Dear Translator."

Huayi's Mr. Wang and his bosses are still trying hard to hype up the de-filming business and the development of finance and real estate, but Governor Zhou's first profit of the year easily surpassed Huayi's entire year profit.

Admiring from a close distance the natural charm revealed in the beauty's wide-open eyes, and playing with the honey-like flesh indulgently and wantonly.

Zhou Yutang's lips curled up slightly, and his deep eyes were like the weeds on the wasteland being ignited.
