China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1027 One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand; God's favored eyes
In the eyes of movie fans, the special effects of the two-part "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series are absolutely world-class.

The special effects in this painstakingly crafted production by Ning Ying are probably only worth five cents.

As it turns out, the audience's judgment was accurate.

With a box office of 1830 million yuan on its opening day, and a dismal start with a score of 3.1 on Douban and 4.0 on Mtime, the reputation of "Shura Brother" is indeed terrible.

Maoyan is extremely strict with its competitors; "Asura" only received a score of 4.9 at the start.

It does have a score of 8.5 on Alibaba's own platform, Taopiaopiao, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is nothing more than self-consolation.

With the disappointing performance of "Hidden Man," "Dying to Survive" still dominated the summer box office.

With July more than halfway through and the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day just around the corner, the media has started reporting on films like "She Kills" and "Shadow".

"The movie poster for 'She Kills,' starring Fan Binbin, Chen Xiao, Li Xin, and Xin Zhilei and directed by Cao Baoping, has been released in advance, and Fan Binbin looks stunning at a new level!"

"Shadow," directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Zhu Yilong, Hu Jun, Wang Qianyuan, Wang Jingchun, and Wu Lei, is set to be released during the National Day holiday. It is a film that uses ink painting to depict Eastern political intrigue!

"Two films controlled by the Jiangdong Group have been submitted to the 75th Venice International Film Festival and will compete for awards..."

Venice has always been a lucky place for Chinese-language films, with Hou Xiaoxian, Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yimou, Jia Zhangke, Li An, and others achieving success there.

Last year, the Grand Commander captured a lion single-handedly, which made him famous.

Seeing the power and influence of the Jiangdong family, people in the industry are all amazed.

This year, two giants are rising together once again.

Both Cao Baoping and Zhang Yimou are prominent figures among China's top directors.

Jiangdong Group is now a highly influential media empire worldwide, and with its sights set on the Golden Lion, it might very well have a chance to win it again!

Because the boss was inconsistent in his work, Chen Xi, as the producer, felt desperate.

Her professionalism was impeccable; she accompanied the entire promotional tour for "Dying to Survive," traveling around half of China for over half a month, which must have been exhausting.

After the roadshow ended, they started working on the arrangements for the Venice Film Festival.

After she took the initiative to report the situation, Zhou Yutang spread his hands and said lightly, "Chen Zhiheng has made all the arrangements. You just need to take the team there in advance."

Chen Xi: "."

The epic transfer saga of "Where is Luo Ge going?" has finally come to an end.

Because of the intervention of the owner of Liverpool's Eastern club, the Italian powerhouse Juventus accelerated the transfer process.

With mutual affection, this earth-shattering deal was quickly struck.

Real Madrid officially announced Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Italian giants Juventus in the early hours of the morning, and Juventus subsequently confirmed the completion of the transaction on their official website.

According to Italian media reports, Juventus have signed Cristiano Ronaldo to a four-year contract for a transfer fee of €100 million, payable in two installments. This transfer fee breaks the world record for the transfer fee of a player over 30 years old, previously held by Bonucci.

"A sensation in the football world! The landscape of Serie A may be rewritten!"

"Commander Zhou's carelessness led to the downfall of their star player, and Juventus has once again claimed the title of Champions League King, their momentum unstoppable!"

Several news stories that dominated the trending topics in foreign media in various countries still bear the shadow of the Grand Commander.

When the news reached China from overseas, Red Army fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rumors that circulated recently were quite detailed: after finishing his trip to China, Cristiano Ronaldo did indeed fly to Liverpool and party at a local nightclub for a night, a story that was also reported in The Sun.

Now everyone has realized what's happening.

What is this wave?
This was a coordinated effort between Governor Zhou and Ronaldo's team to carry the sedan chair.

Every step is a meticulously designed routine.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yutang's personal account posted on Instagram about Luo Ge's transfer to a new team.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is an incredible superstar in the world of football."

He has never stopped moving forward, striving to become a better version of himself through hard work and dedication, and to achieve even greater success.

The legend continues.

This Instagram post quickly sparked heated discussions on the international internet.

Luo Ge, a seasoned internet surfer, left a comment in both Portuguese and Chinese: "An incredible trip to the East, my brother, he's the best director in the world!"

She also posted a photo of herself shaking hands and hugging Zhou Yutang.

Luo Ge has a whopping 1.33 million followers on Instagram. Zhou Yutang's social media accounts, including her Instagram account, are basically all managed by her assistant.

I am not very active on it, but as a young super-rich person who is a lot of talk about around the world, the team often posts some official and forward-looking remarks, which also attracts a lot of fans, and now has tens of millions of fans.

The collaboration between two outstanding individuals from different fields garnered over 680 million comments and likes.

Unintentionally, a new record was set—the comment with the most likes in Instagram history!

"Boss, some fans have suggested that you make a football-themed movie."

After browsing through the comments on foreign websites, Chen Duling found them quite interesting.

"Kung Fu plus football, is that a good idea?"

The first thing that came to Zhou Yutang's mind was Stephen Chow's classic film, "Shaolin Soccer".

Football-themed biographical films have been made abroad before, but they haven't been very successful.

There's a group of posts in China that repost foreign media news commentaries, and the comments section is filled with jokes and discussions about this matter.

Most people are still proud, after all, as a prominent figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, having such prestige among foreigners is something only Scorpion Daddy can achieve.

"My dad said, 'Has Juventus lost their minds? They actually spent so much money to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, who's over thirty years old?'"

— Chen Duling's father was a Juventus fan, and since Juventus is located in Turin, Old Chen had a brilliant idea and named his daughter Turin.

Old Chen is quite concerned about football news, and he harbors some resentment about it.

"Our uncle still has a narrow perspective."

Zhou Yutang said calmly.

On the surface, it seems that he gave Ronaldo a boost, causing Juventus to suffer significant financial losses.

But Juventus' management isn't stupid; there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

For example, they might use this globally sensational transfer to generate hype at the capital level.

Within days of the official announcement of the deal, Juventus' stock price surged by 20%, with the paper profit alone enough to fully cover the transaction costs, or even more.

In other words, Juventus not only made a profit but also benefited from Ronaldo's popularity for free, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

However, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong was not at a loss either.

With the transfer saga of "Where is Ronaldo going?" coming to an end, the World Cup final is also being played in Russia.

In the end, the French team defeated Croatia 4-2, winning the World Cup title again after 20 years.

This marks the second time in French history that the team has lifted the World Cup trophy.

Most importantly, France's young star Kylian Mbappé rose to fame in this match!
"At just nineteen years old, he has reached the pinnacle of world football; Mbappe's future is limitless!"

"Zhou is an incredible guy. He has eyes that are blessed by God. This young French superstar is a deal that Zhou strongly advocated after taking over Liverpool, and now it has yielded at least several times the return!"

This World Cup trophy is an honor that even the two football legends have never touched but have always dreamed of, and now it has been won by a 19-year-old newcomer.

Although this is the result of the whole team's efforts, Mbappe's contribution is indispensable.

Throughout the tournament, Mbappé made 7 appearances, contributing 4 goals and 1 assist, undoubtedly the attacking core of the French team's victory. "Boss, here's an email from Ai: PSG has officially offered €100 million to acquire Mbappé."

There have been many things going on abroad these past few days. Chen Duling excitedly ran over to tell Zhou Yutang the good news, her clear eyes sparkling with excitement.

Her little head was spinning rapidly.

At the current exchange rate, 1 million euros is approximately equal to 7.85 million yuan.

Zhou Yutang only spent 1850 million euros to take the Tortoise from Monaco back then, and now he has made a fortune.

"Those people wearing white headscarves must be rich."

Zhou Yutang sighed, then firmly refused, "Reply to Xiao Ai, not for sale."

"what?"

Chen Duling was stunned: "That's a hundred million euros!"

If she were faced with such a huge sum of cash, she would probably knock Mbappe unconscious and airlift him to Paris.

However, considering Governor Zhou's wealth, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

A few small goals are really nothing to the Grand Commander, the richest man in the country.

"Tell Xiao Ai that this is not for sale."

Zhou Yutang said confidently, "Unless the White Turban offers an irresistible price."

If Coutinho can fetch a sky-high price, there's no reason for Mbappe to be cheap.

The White Turban family is rolling in money; they spent over 200 million euros last year to acquire Neymar. Mbappe, a native of France, is definitely not going to be priced lower than that.
The fierce competition expected during the summer movie season in the domestic film market did not materialize.

Since the release of "Dying to Survive," it has unsurprisingly held the top spot.

After 18 days in theaters, it has topped the summer box office with a total box office of 34.69 billion yuan.

The movie "Shura Brother," which claims to define the name of Eastern fantasy, only grossed 4847 million yuan in its first three days of release.

Compared to Shura, even the controversy surrounding "Hidden Man," which had just crossed the 3 million mark, gradually subsided.

It was at this point that the producers of Asura finally succumbed to the pressure and issued a public announcement: "After a decision by all investors, the film Asura will be withdrawn from theaters and suspended from screening starting at 10 p.m. on July 15."

Here, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the audience who have accompanied and supported us along the way.

We apologize to the viewers who were unable to watch the film.

"If we retreat now, it will be too late to save them."

At this moment, Governor Zhou had just come out of the CCTV building.

The sequel to "Snow in the Wind" premieres tonight. He had just taken on a last-minute interview with CCTV, and upon receiving this news, he felt a bit wistful.

The film and television industry is so cruel; for every success, countless others perish.

When all horses are silent, and they gallop along this path, only a few will ultimately rise to the top.

This is a high-stakes gamble by Ning Ying, betting the future of the entire group.

Without a doubt, the game is over.

During the prime July film season, apart from Zhou Dudu reigning supreme in the Chinese film industry, various film companies were engaged in fierce competition.

The entertainment industry is constantly rife with drama and scandals.

First, Gao Yunxiang's case in Australia went to trial for the second time, and all of Gao's endorsements in China have also been terminated.

This marked the official end of his acting career.

Although they haven't officially announced it to the public, their marital relationship is already over.

From love to marriage, it all ends up being a mess.

However, my sister seems to have come to a realization: in her thirties, it's the perfect time to build her career.

Goddess Long has been frequently showing off her close friendship with Teacher Fan lately, from opening a restaurant together to doing beauty live streams. Together with another Taiwanese high-ranking official and leggy beauty, Zhang Junmi, she has solidified her position as the left and right protectors of the Bin Party.

The fall of a powerful official is less talked about than the swallows that once graced the mansions of the wealthy and powerful flying into the homes of ordinary people.

At this time, with Yao Lai backing her, Feng Feng had access to a wealth of fashion resources, and her collaboration with American rapper Travis Scott, "Like That," debuted in the top 100 of the Billboard charts.

This also makes him the first Chinese male singer, apart from the Jiangdong Girls' Group, to break into the Top charts, and he was incredibly popular for a time.

So when he dropped the bombshell, the entire industry was still in an uproar.

Companies across the film and television industry are watching the spectacle, or perhaps they have other ideas.

A top celebrity not only means massive online traffic, but also makes all their endorsements and business deals highly sought after.

The agency behind Feng Feng is in a frenzy, trying to put out fires and suppress online public opinion.

Zhou Yutang doesn't even need to search for these kinds of gossips; she can get the standard answers from Mao Xiaoyu immediately.

Governor Zhou couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Behind him, Chen Duling glanced at Zhou Yutang's twitching shoulders out of the corner of her eye and gave a barely perceptible purse of her lips.

That unscrupulous boss has absolutely no self-awareness!

The one who takes a hundred paces laughs at the one who takes fifty?
Not long ago, she was controlled by a vixen twice in a row, which led to a last-minute change of her schedule, leaving her secretary quite resentful.

In a fit of anger, she only dared to spit it out in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yutang seemed to sense something and turned around, looking at him suspiciously, and asked, "Were you talking about me behind my back?"

"No way, that's impossible!"

Chen Duling was startled and her body trembled.

Head held high, his face seemed to bear the words "loyalty" written all over it.

The highly intelligent secretary had her own way of handling things, casually changing the subject: "Boss, there might be a problem with Shen Teng's movie promotion schedule next month."

"You've taken on a new role?"

"Yes, it's Han Han's movie, 'Pegasus'."

When the secretary mentioned it, Zhou Yutang remembered.

I think I heard Li Jian mention in a football group that he was going to make a cameo appearance in a racing movie, which is expected to be released during the Spring Festival this year.

"This year's Spring Festival film season is going to be interesting."

Aside from Jackie Chan's "The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang," which is the first to be released during the Spring Festival, Jiang Dong's "Detective Chinatown 2" is waiting to be shown.

Now that Han Han has joined the fray, things have gotten lively.

In the top-ranked matches of the Chinese server, aside from Jiangdong Grand Commander standing proudly at the summit, overlooking all other mountains, there is also the one who is the most outstanding director.

The three veteran directors still possess profound knowledge and expertise.

The National Preceptor, Feng Xiaogang, and the poet—each possesses remarkable achievements and honors, and their status is beyond question.

Then there are the three rising stars of the film industry, the three generals of Jiangdong, as well as Cao Baoping, the number one director of suspense and crime films in China, who is also inseparable from the Jiangdong faction, and Xue Xiaolu, the number one female director in China. They are all top-tier directors.

Like Zhou Dudu, Han Han also transitioned from being a writer to working in the film and television industry, and has also established himself in the film circle.

Anyway,
Han Han, nicknamed "Northern Qiao Feng," certainly has a better reputation than Guo Jingming, nicknamed "Male Murong."
