China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 721 New Variety Show Project, the Most Beautiful Legs in Shanghai
"Or do you have someone suitable for Jiang Ni in mind?"

"If you can speak, then speak more."

The up-host named Adou continued to ask, and Li Xin tilted his head, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

It fell on Zhou Yutang.

She was looking forward to the answer to this question.

Is it Liu Yifei or Liu Shishi?

Or……

As for Li Xin, his heart was also beating slightly.

With such amazing resources right in front of us, it would be a lie to say that I am not excited about them.

Among all the celebrities in the entertainment industry, how can there be anyone as calm as a chrysanthemum?
But being tempted is one thing, and Li Xin knew that the final decision on this project would be made by Zhou Yutang himself, so after hearing that the company had launched "Snow", he only hinted at it privately.

She was also one of the first artists to sign a contract with Jiangdong, and maintained a good relationship with Lin Liang.

Ni Ni roughly understood her boss's thoughts and was only thinking about how he would deal with the aftermath.

Zhou Yutang looked calm, glanced at the sharp-tongued boy, and responded calmly: "It's not convenient to disclose this at the moment. We'll see after the audition. If the casting is confirmed, there will be a notice on the official website."

Then we talked about the behind-the-scenes footage of the "Joy of Life" series and the upcoming plot.

The materials are in place and it’s over.

Next, Li Xin, Reba, Zeng Li, Tian Yu and others as well as Internet companies such as Tencent will hold door-to-door activities in an effort to continue to push up the popularity.

Zhou Yutang will also cooperate with the publicity, but his schedule is very tight. He has a meeting at Mingjie in the afternoon and has to return to Beijing the next day.

Currently, I have only booked one with Sina, as well as two interview programs, and I have to go to South Korea at the end of the month.

Unexpectedly, I met the famous host of Mango TV unexpectedly at Mingjie Company.

Wang Han just walked out of Mingjie Company with his assistant.

When he saw Zhou Yutang, who was surrounded by people, he was stunned for a moment, then a flattering smile appeared on his face and he took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

After a brief greeting, Wang Han wisely led his men to retreat.

Arriving at the garage and getting into the business car, the assistant said with emotion: "Brother Han, Governor Zhou has a very strong aura."

He has been working with Wang Han for several years. Zhou Yutang had appeared on Happy Camp and Day Day Up in his early years, and they even had dinner together.

But the current Grand Commander of Jiangdong is dignified, calm and composed, completely different from before, which makes him think of Director Mango.

"He is now the top star in the domestic entertainment industry."

Wang Han pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, replied to the message and made a joke.

"Brother Han."

The assistant suddenly had an idea, and said in a slightly excited tone: "It is said that Governor Zhou is very popular in Jiangsu and Shanghai, and Mingjie is deeply connected with Shanghai Tomato TV and Jiangsu TV.

If you jump to the Magic City Station or the Jiangsu Provincial Station, you can deepen your cooperation with Mingjie in the future, and won't you be able to board the big ship of Jiangdong?"

Mingjie basically monopolizes the domestic ace variety shows. For the host, personal ability is one aspect, but the platform is crucial.

Wang Han also smiled meaningfully: "We'll see when the time comes. It's not a bad thing anyway."

……

Zhou Yutang glanced at Wang Han's departing back. Zhang Yibei and several Mingjie executives also talked about Wang Han.

The main pillar of Mango TV also has business dealings with Mingjie Company.

He seems to be restless recently. He has been in private contact with Shanghai Tomato TV and Jiangsu TV. He may be preparing to change jobs.

When Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang into the meeting room of Mingjie Company, she saw the senior executives who were in their seats stood up together.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Everyone sit down."

Zhou Yutang pulled out a chair and sat down, exchanging a few words with Ni Ni beside him.

The latter nodded and quickly turned on the computer. The technician helped connect the projection equipment with familiar movements.

The boss was going to give a speech, so as an assistant, she had to prepare a PPT for the speech in advance.

In the past, I had to stay up late to do it myself. Recently, a top student from the Southern Airlines joined the assistant team. He is very good at making PPTs, which saves Ni Ni a lot of work.

Mingjie's senior executives stared at the screen intently.

However, when they saw that Zhou Yutang's strategic layout for the company's next stage of variety shows was actually to shift from outdoors to indoors, they immediately started a heated discussion.

Is this a counter-version play by the Grand Commander?
Putting aside TV stations, what about online variety shows that are prepared to be produced on video platforms?
A manager from the variety show department raised his hand, and after Zhou Yutang nodded, he stood up and asked:

"Mr. Zhou, outdoor variety shows are the company's basic source of income. The model of studio variety shows has declined. Is this open to discussion?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, outdoor variety shows are the mainstream now."

"Studio variety shows like Kuaiben have been eliminated."

Immediately, several voices were heard.

Ni Ni took a quick glance and compared it with the information that came to her mind. The person who was speaking was basically the person in charge of the outdoor variety show project prepared by Mingjie.

Ever since Zhou Yutang started the outdoor variety show trend, countless TV stations have followed suit.

But how can a makeshift team compare to the rich experience of Mingjie's regular army?
Most of them sank silently into the bottom of the Huangpu River, but a small number of them stood out from the others and ate a lot of food.

"Are you the general manager of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'" Zhou Yutang took a sip of water to moisten his throat and calmly asked the first person who stood up.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you still remember me."

"The General Administration of Press and Publication will soon implement new policies to strictly control the participation of minors in reality shows. In the future, all parent-child reality shows will not be approved..."

"In addition, at present, the homogeneity of outdoor reality shows is increasing, and the weak ratings of traditional TV channels are gradually becoming apparent. Mr. Tian and I agree that we should increase the layout of video platform network variety shows."

Zhou Yutang's calm voice, like thunder, exploded in the conference room.

It was definitely not a wasted trip to the Beijing Trade Fair after the New Year. If you want to get things done in China, you cannot do without the system.

Follow policy trends and combine market feedback.

This is the right way to go.

Ni Ni supported her chin with her slender white palm and swept her eyes across the conference room.

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, I admired Zhou Yutang's wild ideas from the bottom of my heart and enjoyed it even more.

Zhou Yutang had already told her this news.

The sky is falling for Mango TV this time.

The total investment in the two seasons of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was no less than 2 billion yuan. This cut resulted in huge losses.

For Mingjie, it may be a pity, but it is also within an acceptable range.

After all, with trump cards such as "Go Fighting", "Running Man", "The Voice of China", and "Longing for Life" in hand, the world is mine and it will not affect the overall situation.

"There's no need to be too pessimistic. Outdoor variety shows will still be the mainstream. We just need to prepare for a rainy day and make plans in advance."

Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming are a well-known golden pair.

One is responsible for strategy and the other is responsible for execution, and they have always been successful.

To a certain extent, Zhou Yutang, who is at the helm behind the scenes, has no less influence than Tian Ming. On the contrary, because of the halo of success superimposed on him, everyone in Mingjie Company respects him like a god, and no one questions the vision of the Grand Commander.

After the brief meeting, the top executives were still digesting the shock caused by Zhou Yutang's words.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

The project manager of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" just now looked dejected, as if he had stepped into empty space from a great height.

Simply put, his bonus is directly linked to the project. Now that the project is about to be stopped, what should he do next?

Some people looked at him with sympathy, while others simply ignored him.

The senior executives who had proposals for studio variety shows in hand were feeling uneasy.

Since the Grand Commander has said so, it is imperative for the company to promote the studio variety show project next. Who knows, this wave of wealth may fall on me.

Wu Tong, whose name was specially mentioned by Zhou Yutang, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention and was a lucky person worthy of envy.

"Old Xu, who is this Wu Tong?"

"It seems to be from Zhejiang Province. Is it the people led by Director Wang?"

"I'm not familiar with him. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would choose his general. Old Wu's plan didn't pass?"

"Alas, Mr. Zhou gave him the variety show that Blueberry TV had booked to collaborate with."

"This kid is really lucky."

"."

As the leader of the domestic variety show industry, Mingjie started out with music variety shows. In recent years, the popularity of music variety shows has declined slightly compared to its peak, but it still has a fairly stable base.

"Go Fighting" and "Running Man", the two outdoor competitive variety shows planned and promoted by Zhou Yutang, are truly the best shows ever.

"Flowers and Youth" and "Sisters Over Flowers" were also promoted by Zhou Yutang. The "Flowers" series of travel variety shows took the audience to appreciate the customs and cultures of various countries. The copyright was exported to South Korea, and both the ratings and reputation were very good. The rural leisure variety show "Longing for Life" is even more of a money-making beast.

Even though he has several ace variety shows in his hands and can make a living for the rest of his life, the person at the helm is Zhou Yutang, so he will never allow such a thing to happen.

You can’t just rest on your laurels when doing variety shows.

The most important thing is to adapt to and grasp the market trends, keep up with the trend of the times, rely on the B station platform, keep improving, and create greater glory.

Mingjie intends to increase the proportion of studio variety shows and has run many projects. Last year, "Happy Comedians" on Shanghai Tomato Channel received very good response.

Blueberry Channel has never been short of money, and it wants to become bigger and stronger, so it booked a variety show with Mingjie in advance.

Apart from the program production costs, the most important thing is the investment revenue which is linked to the ratings.

This is a special treatment enjoyed exclusively by Mingjie, the leader of domestic entertainment variety shows.

Mingjie Company, which is now on the right track, has a very mature variety show operation system and is a professional substitute with a good reputation.

From the early stage of feasibility market analysis, to the company's internal planners making a complete plan, and then seeking the approval of the board of directors, mainly approved by Zhou Yutang and Tian Ming, and then proceeding. The Celestial Empire is so big that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Wu Tong started from the bottom and worked his way up to the position of production team leader in the company. He proposed many variety show planning proposals, which Zhou Yutang reviewed. The one he is interested in now is "Ace vs. Ace" proposed by Wu Tong.

“We will bring together all the popular IPs from variety shows and movies on the market to create a studio variety show that has both a sense of confrontation and can bring joy to the audience.”

Ni Ni sat in on the private meeting between Zhou Yutang and Wu Tong.

According to the tentative plan, whether it is the sitcom "Wulin Waijia", or "Running Man", or the "Asian Blade" series that is being promoted simultaneously with the movie, they can all be regarded as ace IPs that are familiar to the audience.

A young man from Zhejiang Media Group, who jumped from Blueberry TV to Mingjie, is only 30 years old this year, but he has taken on a variety show project that may be worth hundreds of millions of yuan. No wonder he was so excited that his hands were shaking.

"Why are you dazed?"

Seeing that Ni Ni was still in a daze, Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her: "Have you arranged the restaurant for tonight?"

"I've already reserved a seat."

With a deep sigh in her heart, Ni Ni followed Zhou Yutang towards the elevator.

Before every date with a woman, Zhou Yutang was in a good mood. Ni Ni took the opportunity to ask, "Boss, is that actor variety show you told Wu Tong about just a rosy promise to him?"

"How can this be called empty promises? This is called fully inspiring the will of young people to strive for success. If he does a good job in this project, the actor variety show can be handed over to him."

"Joy of Life's main creators visited Bilibili and interacted with fans in a friendly manner!"

"The Grand Commander is a real-life overbearing CEO. Li Xin looks amazing in his raw photos!"

"The ratings of Celebrating Yu Nian 3 soared on Jiangsu TV last night, with the highest ratings exceeding !"

It was a short two-hour flight from Shanghai to Beijing, and Zhou Yutang slept all the way.

It is true that the schedule during this period was too tight, with continuous back-to-back travel, even a god's physique could not withstand it.

He took the warm towel handed over by the school beauty stewardess, wiped his face, and regained his former spirit.

After browsing the film and television news for a while and replying to the messages from several girlfriends, Zhou Yutang looked out the window.

I couldn't help but recall the bustling night view of Shanghai that I saw last night when I was sitting by the window in a private room in a high-end restaurant on the 29th floor of Hotel Indigo on The Bund with Tang Yan.

Michelin-starred restaurants are impeccable in terms of the control of ingredients, cooking and presentation of dishes.

Of course, what is more unforgettable to him than the delicious food is the beauty.

Tang Yan has the shallow and intoxicating dimples on her cheeks and the pair of slender legs that reach her shoulders.

Liu Shishi just went to Hong Kong the day before yesterday to attend a brand event and had a two-day schedule. As a good friend of hers from Legend of Sword and Fairy III and a local of Shanghai, Tang Yan played the role of host and entertained the Grand Commander.

They are all popular actresses. Da Mimi has endless notices, and Tang Yan is also very busy.

She will soon partner with last year's popular Jiangdong actor Kaikai Wang in the drama "The Princess Weiyoung" which is primarily controlled by Huace and co-invested by Tangtang Studio.

Tang Yan Studio is obviously not strong enough to get an investment share of this project from Huace, but it is different with Zhou Yutang's words.

After the plane landed, Zhou Yutang withdrew his thoughts. Ni Ni beside him was still chatting with Mao Xiaoyu. He leaned over to take a look and was immediately happy.

The famous writer Han Han was on the hot search list on Weibo, right below the hot search list of "Joy of Life 3".

Last night, Han Han, the national father-in-law, suddenly posted a photo of a Japanese female teacher who looked like him on Weibo without any warning, and played a joke:

"The economy is bad, so I'm doing some part-time work."

"You know what, they are a bit similar."

Attached below are the comparison photos spoofed by netizens. Zhou Yutang had a smile on his face and was chatting casually with Ni Ni when Liu Tianxian called.

I don’t know what wrong medicine Miss Liu took recently.

The constant concern and concern for each other day and night made Governor Zhou, who was suspicious by nature, suspect that something had gone wrong.

But according to the insider's report, everything was normal. Zhou Yutang was a little confused and could only wait until he could find out the truth when he was cultivating immortals.
The announcement of the preliminary examination results of the Film Academy's School of Acting has caused a stir.

Although the Film Academy reduced its admission quota, nearly 10,000 candidates still applied for the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy this year.

In the past few days, various media outlets have sent people to interview at the school gate.

Nine out of ten candidates interviewed said that they decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy's School of Performing Arts because of the influence of Zhou Yutang.

Zhou Yutang declined to be an examiner for the art exam this year, but heard from Teacher Yao in the group that the beauty of the West Factory has made a comeback.

Teacher Wang Jinsong has a lot of clever ideas. He placed a standee of Governor Zhou, the glory of Beijing Film Academy, at the school gate, which attracted countless candidates to check in and take photos.

Although there are many applicants, the art examination is ultimately like a competition of thousands of people crossing a single-plank bridge.

I don’t know how many people had their dreams shattered overnight.

Because nearly 80% of people were eliminated in the initial test alone.

The remaining approximately two thousand candidates will enter the re-examination, which will add a talent show segment based on the initial examination, mainly testing students' artistic talents in vocal music, body shape and other aspects.

Another batch needs to be brushed down.

As long as you pass this level, you will have one foot in this circle.

The princess from Beijing successfully entered the re-examination round.

Zhou Ye was also very happy to share his achievements with Zhou Yutang on WeChat.

Zhou Yutang could feel the girl's excitement and joy, and responded by patting her on the head.

He was not surprised at all. Even though he didn't say hello, Zhou Ye had already registered internally.

How can the Beijing princess's family of performing arts and the weight of nearly a hundred works in 14 years compare to a word from the Grand Commander of Jiangdong?

"Operation Mekong," a police and gangster action film adapted from a real-life major case, was produced by Soochow Films, co-directed by Benny Chan and Lin Chaoxian, and starred by Zhang Hanyu, Xie Tingfeng, and Li Xin. It took more than five months of arduous filming and has finally been successfully completed!"

"General Zhou showed up at the wrap party, and the crew raised their glasses together. Xie Tingfeng was unable to attend due to schedule conflicts, but he sent his best wishes from afar."

In late February, the last shot of the film was filmed at the Liushenmen headquarters, fully displaying the atmosphere of a great country.

It was originally planned to be completed in mid-February, but due to various accidents during the filming, the lead actor Xie Tingfeng broke his leg, which slightly delayed the progress, but it finally ended successfully.

Zhou Yutang sent out the executive director Lao Suan, who got tanned immediately.

When asked how he felt, his eyes were clear and he grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Just one word: tired.

The main filming locations of this movie were in tropical areas such as Thailand and Malaysia. Just imagine how exciting the high-temperature action scenes were.

The mountain and jungle environments in the Silver Triangle are even harsher, with snakes, insects, rats and ants being commonplace.

The most crucial thing is that they spent more than half a year on the crew, even spending the New Year abroad, which was an extremely severe test for the mental state of the entire crew.

When Zhou Yutang was doing the rounds at Sina, he received a message from Zhang Ruojun.

It just so happened that Brother Long was also in Beijing, so he invited the three brothers to have a small gathering at YuJian Hotpot.

Recently, Haidilao has been negotiating an acquisition with Yu Jian. Mr. Fan has a small stake in the company and has been extremely excited these days.

"Brother Tang, do you have to be so cruel?"

Zhang Ruojun still smiled like a husky: "First, he killed the first sister, and now he won't let his brothers go either."

"Your drama is good. I'm following it."

Zhu Yilong adjusted the ingredients according to the taste, and Zhou Yutang agreed with Brother Long's opinion.

"The Imperial Doctress" released after the new year was no match for "Joy of Life 3", and its good brother Zhang Ruojun's "The Young Marshal" was also defeated.

In fact, the TV series produced by Changchun Film Group in collaboration with Xiaoma Pentium and others can definitely be called masterpieces.

In addition to the most popular young actor Zhang Ruojun, there are also veteran actor Li Xuejian and powerful actress Song Jia.

Director Zhang Li is a famous director in the drama circle who made the masterpiece "The Ming Dynasty". Others such as Bai Yu, Liu Yan and others are also online. The first broadcast had a viewership rating of 1.332, even surpassing "The Imperial Doctress".

"If the mountain doesn't come toward me, I will walk toward the mountain."

"There are two kinds of books: those with words and those without words."

There are clips of this drama on Bilibili, Tik Tok, and other major forums.

I have to say that Li Xuejian's acting skills are really amazing, and Zhang Ruojun's acting skills have also stood the test and received rave reviews.

If it was released in any other time slot, it would have a high chance of sweeping the top spot, but unfortunately it was a bit unlucky and encountered "Joy of Life 3" starring Zhou Yutang.

This season is coming to an end, continuing the reputation and popularity of the previous two seasons of "Joy of Life", and it became a huge hit when it was aired after the New Year.

The Battle of Dadong Mountain, the Kyoto Rebellion, Chen Pingping's death, and Fan Xian's assassination of Emperor Qing
The whole plot is well-written with many climaxes.

The reputation of the drama has been maintained, the ratings have been steadily increasing, and the two stars have been broadcasting simultaneously, taking turns to top the list, which can be said to be an explosion.

It is undoubtedly a phenomenal hit, and the industry has even given it the title of the best drama of the year in advance.

Film and television dramas of this level are of great benefit to the main creators, not to mention Zhou Yutang, who is now a legend in the domestic entertainment industry and is at the peak of his career.

With the overwhelming popularity, all the main creative members of the crew were promoted.

The heroine of the entire "Celebrating Yu Nian" series, the chicken leg girl Lin Wan'er, has become the white moonlight in the hearts of many people. Li Xin's popularity has suddenly increased again, and she has completely consolidated her position as a first-line young actress.

The actors who reaped the biggest benefits were Xin Zhilei, Wu Gang, Reba, Tian Yu and others in the drama.

The main creators of "Joy of Life" expressed their sincere gratitude to Zhou Yutang in person or in front of the media.

Wu Gang, who was originally deeply involved in drama, was not very famous, but became an overnight sensation because of Chen Pingping in "Joy of Life".

He then played Li Dakang in In the Name of People and became the most popular actor, receiving numerous film offers.

Wang Qinian, played by Tian Yu, is also a super popular supporting actor in the TV series "Joy of Life". He is now the number one golden supporting actor in the drama circle.

Reba’s Fan Ruoruo is soft and cute, and carrying a sniper rifle is also a classic scene.

But when it comes to changing one's fate, it has to be Xin Zhilei.

An unknown 18th-tier celebrity gained countless fans because of his role as Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of Northern Qi in “Joy of Life”.

With the title of "Pig Girl", she brazenly joined the ranks of second-tier actresses.

Although she still has some shortcomings compared to the top female stars, she has become the object of envy of many female artists.

After all, they became famous through this battle, and now they have even made it to the red carpet in Berlin.
