China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1030 Female Celebrities Go Crazy for Him Tonight

Originally, both the outside world and his team and the production company behind the scenes had high expectations for the final dance of the Beiyang Trilogy.

However, the results they have now presented are clearly not satisfactory to everyone.

Rumors of Jiang Lang's creative talent running dry are rampant online.

I reckon Jiang Wen was exhausted during the roadshow.

On the contrary, Wang, who had always kept a low profile, became the lucky one in the eyes of many people in the film and television industry.

At that time, everyone feared Governor Zhou's power and postponed their schedules.

Only Old Wang dared to take a step forward.

It was this crucial step that allowed Old Wang to get a piece of meat.

No one expected that "Animal World," produced by Enlight Media, directed by Han Yan, and starring top idol Feng Xiaogang, would become the second-best domestic film of the summer season.

Thanks to the contrast with its competitors, "Animal World" grossed a total of 6.84 million yuan in its first three weeks of release.

While it can't beat the big brother, The Medicine God, its box office performance is as stable as Mount Tai compared to the previously heavily promoted "Hidden Man" and "Asura".

Although the daily box office has dropped to just over ten million.

Given the current situation, it's clear that it can go even higher, and the 7 million box office threshold is within reach.

As July entered its second half, Huayi Brothers, which had been keeping a low profile for some time, began to stir again.

"The final trailer for the action-fantasy film 'Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings,' directed by Tsui Hark, produced by Chen Kuo-fu, written by Zhang Jialu, and starring Mark Chao, Feng Shaofeng, Lin Gengxin, Ruan Jingtian, Ma Sichun, and Liu Jialin, has been released!"

"A genius director has ushered in a new era for Chinese fantasy martial arts blockbusters, featuring heroes and the boundless elegance of the Tang Dynasty!"

Huayi has recently been embroiled in a tax scandal, with rumors circulating that some of its managers have been taken away by law enforcement.

The stock price plummeted for several days, and now they are trying to use their latest "Detective Dee" series to sweep away the downward trend.

Happy Twist has also been busy, with the promotional work for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" continuing.
"Rocket Girls' new song 'Calorie' will be released globally as an insert song for 'Hello Mr. Billionaire.' Please look forward to it!"

"Shen Teng and Mary, the golden duo, will make you laugh until you drop! Happy Twist will save you from your unhappiness!"

"The first concert of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong will be held in Xihong City!"

"."

These smooth combos, especially with the gimmick of Governor Zhou, immediately caused a sensation across the internet.

Zhou Dudu, who is popular on both the big and small screens and whose popularity is unmatched, has been known for his outstanding talent since his debut, including in the field of music.

The song "Want to See You," which is the same name as the TV series, was a huge hit. He even appeared as a guest at concerts by artists like 500 and Jay Chou. During that time, he released a few songs as a hobby, such as "Anhe Bridge," "Chengdu," and "The Wind Rises," all of which are classics that are still sung today.

But they had never actually held a concert, which had always been a regret for the Jiangdong Navy. I never expected to see it in a movie.

The entertainment headlines on major portal websites, the hot posts on forums, and the trending topics on Weibo were all about Governor Zhou singing Xihong City.

The overwhelming popularity has made everyone at Happy Twist laugh so hard they're practically doubled over.

"Singing on the road?"

When Chen Duling received the call from Zhang Cheng of Mahua, she was somewhat impressed; he really dared to ask such a question.

"If Mr. Zhou could cooperate, that would be wonderful."

"I will convey Mr. Zhang's words to the boss, but it's best not to have too high hopes."

Despite her polite and tactful words, Chen Duling turned to Zhou Yutang and, unsurprisingly, was rejected by Governor Zhou.

He's not even planning to participate in any promotional events, let alone sing.
Just being able to attend a premiere is enough to justify the shares he received from Mahua FunAge.

At the same time, more than a dozen films, including the movie version of "iPartment", "The Island" (Huang Bo's directorial debut), "The Wind Guardians" (the first animated film in the Painting Rivers and Lakes series), and Hollywood blockbusters such as "Skyscraper", "Ant-Man and the Wasp", and "Mission: Impossible – Fallout", officially announced that they will enter the summer box office in August to compete for viewership.

The entire Chinese film market is about to become a meat grinder.

The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak.

Most of these films will inevitably become cannon fodder.

"The sequel to 'Snowy Mountain' is so good, isn't it!"

"The Grand Commander is indeed the chosen one from ancient times, and his reputation as the foremost of the Four Beauties of the World is well-deserved."

"This is the pinnacle of historical dramas in my mind after 'Joy of Life.' Only a god can surpass a god!"

At this moment, Zhou Yutang had truly forged his golden body and attained godhood.

The hit drama "Snow in the Wind" continues to be a sensation, sweeping the entire internet with its phenomenal popularity. News about the show has been prominently featured in the film and television news section.

Governor Zhou was in a good mood, simply putting on a show of inaction and enjoying the peace.

Let's see what the fans are saying:

"Brother, it's okay if you don't participate in the promotional tours, we'll watch it ourselves, please don't leave the industry!"

"Ahhh, Grand Commander, don't go!! Please make another hundred million movies! [crying][crying][crying]"

"Honey!!! I won't allow you to leave the industry! If you leave, who will I watch? No one else has the same charm!"

"I've made enough money and reached the pinnacle of my status, but please don't take away my source of happiness, Grand Commander!"

"."

If other celebrities put on a bad show during promotional events, they'd be labeled as lacking professionalism.

However, when this matter was brought up with Zhou Yutang, people on various social media platforms were everywhere trying to explain and exonerate the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.
My boss is truly a unique individual.

Chen Duling couldn't help but smile wryly when she thought of Zhou Yutang's self-righteous manner.

"Coming to the Jiangdong Building every day, isn't that also considered door-to-door sales?"

With the TV series "Snow in the Sky" currently airing, Liu Yifei and other actors from the cast are appearing on various variety shows.

"Dying to Survive" aims for 4 billion yuan in box office revenue. The main cast and crew, led by Zhang Songwen, went on a nationwide roadshow, their shoes practically smoking from running. However, director Zhou Yutang only made a few public appearances.

The Grand Commander has fought for so long, can't he at least enjoy himself a little?

Liu Bei still harbored this intention.

Since his debut, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong has fought countless battles, never suffering a defeat. Despite his great reputation, he also feels a sense of emptiness.

He is a human being, not a god.

Everyone has emotions, so Governor Zhou, unable to resist feeling a bit lazy, put aside all the roadshow and drama promotions and stole a few days of leisure.

However, an ambitious person can never stay idle. As the first Chinese science fiction film, "The Wandering Earth" held great significance in Governor Zhou's mind.

While taking a break, he focused most of his energy on the post-production of "The Wandering Earth".

Jiangdong Entertainment is like a high-speed train, and the other projects are also progressing smoothly.

Having single-handedly directed "The Silent Truth," Lao Suan is now experienced and the envy of many lower-level directors in the industry. Having honed his skills with the Mist Theater series "The Untouchable," and with veteran actors like Ning Li and Bai Yu, who recently rose to stardom with "Guardian," he enjoys considerable attention.

After a huge hit, he took on a new project in the Jiangdong Mist Theater. Sometimes, when luck comes, you can't stop it.

Meanwhile, Xin Shuang's "The Hidden Corner" has finally started filming.

Jiang Xuerou made a special trip to Japan to meet with Ye Ning and oversee the production of "It's Your Turn".

This is a self-produced drama on an overseas platform. With veteran director Chen Zhengdao at the helm, it's a solid project. Shen Ao can take this opportunity to gain experience.

Tonight, Douyin experienced a surge in traffic, putting unprecedented pressure on its servers.

Because the Emperor-certified account of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong actually started a live stream.

Watching the excitement is an innate trait of Chinese people, and netizens who had received the news in advance through various channels flocked in.

The moment I entered, I was struck by the Grand Commander's divine beauty.

You can vaguely see that it's a study background, with a wall of books behind it, as well as various antique calligraphy and paintings.

The team had already brought professionals to debug the equipment in the afternoon, but Zhou Yutang only realized that the camera was a bit wrong after the broadcast started.

"Who applied the beauty filter?"

TikTok now boasts incredibly powerful and flashy beauty filters.

One or two ordinary girls put on a beauty filter and think they are 7-point beauties with 1.8-meter-long legs.

Zhou Yutang wasn't interested in this thing. After examining it for a while, he turned off the beauty filter.

Instead, the soft lighting made this handsome, cool profile—which redefined the word "handsome" and had no bad angles—look even more real and natural.

There are handsome men everywhere in the entertainment industry, but those so-called handsome men immediately become ordinary people in front of Governor Zhou.

Before the Grand Commander could even speak, the girls were already soaked.

The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed to tens of thousands, and the barrage of comments flooded the entire screen.

"Aaaaaaah, my husband, kill me!"

"Why does this man look like he's shooting a movie poster even when he frowns!"

"The Jiangdong Navy has arrived uninvited after twenty years; the Grand Admiral is awesome!"

"Hilarious, Governor Zhou has only been in the business for about ten years."

"Honey, honey, say something!"

"Why has the gift interface changed? Is this some kind of privilege?"

"Good evening, everyone. I've been busy with the post-production work of 'The Wandering Earth' lately, and I have a lot of meetings to attend. I haven't had much time for promotional tours, so I'll take some time to chat with you all via live stream tonight."

Zhou Yutang then turned on his microphone and greeted everyone.

Chen Duling, who was watching from the side, was a little shocked by the skyrocketing number of viewers.

As soon as the Grand Commander started his live stream, no one watched any other live streams on the entire platform. Even other streamers rushed over to send him gifts.

She immediately contacted the person in charge of Douyin Live to urgently expand capacity.

Douyin specially granted Zhou Dudu a special privilege for his live stream tonight.

"Please don't send gifts, it doesn't matter."

Gifts were flooding the screen, making Zhou Yutang a little dizzy. He hadn't done much live streaming and was clumsy with the controls, so he casually said, "All the gifts from this account will be used through the Jiangdong Charity Fund to subsidize families of leukemia patients."

Gulnazar took the lead and Dilraba, who was filming a travel variety show abroad, was not to be outdone.

The three beauties from "Chinese Paladin" have teamed up and seem to be competing with the "Fairy Sister" faction. Teacher Fan has also joined in the fun.
Zhou Yutang even saw the little fox spirit's ID.
Never before have so many female celebrities appeared in a single live stream.

Female celebrities went crazy for him tonight, sending gifts and comments everywhere, turning the entire online community into a chaotic mess, while netizens were thoroughly enjoying the gossip.

Zhou Yutang turned off the gift effects and continued, "To be honest, I didn't expect 'Dying to Survive,' a film with such a heavy realistic subject matter, to have such high box office returns. However, next month there's Mahua FunAge's 'Hello Mr. Billionaire,' so everyone can look forward to it. That movie is of good quality."

Zhang Cheng, the founder of Mahua FunAge, who just gifted 100 Carnival gifts in the live stream, pouted his lips into the shape of a Nike logo.

With the Grand Commander's advertising campaign, he can save millions in publicity costs.

Although he didn't participate much in the promotional tour for "Dying to Survive," Zhou Yutang revealed some behind-the-scenes anecdotes during a live stream. He suddenly leaned closer to the camera, then turned around and said, "I just saw an audience member ask what's on the bookshelf in the back?"

"Those are figurines. The one on the left is a character model from Genshin Impact. What game is that? miHoYo is still developing it."

"On the right is a figure of Erlang Shen Yang Jian, a preliminary model for a new Journey to the West themed game from Youke. I can't give away any spoilers yet, so please show your support when it's released."

miHoYo went all in, and Game Science also went all out.

Money was provided when needed, manpower was provided when needed, and with the Grand Commander of Jiangdong paving the way, the progress of Genshin Impact and Black Myth was even smoother than expected.

However, the overall project is massive, with too many details to be perfected, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Chen Duling reacted quickly, blocking the initial model behind her.

After casually chatting about the recently popular Rocket Girls, Zhou Yutang chuckled and said, "I don't watch many girl groups, but Junior Sister Hu is alright."

The screen was instantly flooded with "?", and the gift effects almost crashed the server.

Oh right, right, you don't watch much of that, but the visual center of Girls' Generation is always surrounded by gossip and rumors, right?

There's also the Crown Girls group, rumored to be Zhou Dudu's exclusive consorts, and they haven't had any dating rumors for years.

After a pause, he slowly added, "As you all probably know, Rocket Girls will be collaborating with 'Hello Mr. Billionaire.' The new song is finished recording, and it's pretty good."

The barrage immediately erupted with comments tagging the Douyin accounts of the Rocket Girls members, and several of the parties involved, including Hu Lianxin, quickly appeared and each sent ten Carnival views.

After Rocket Girls joined the group, Zhang Ruonan, the new generation's first love and white moonlight, also began to make her presence felt.

This top Douyin influencer has the presence to rival the entire Rocket Girls group.

There were so many sisters giving gifts that Zhou Yutang didn't show favoritism. She simply read out the names briefly before continuing, "It seems everyone really likes 'Snowy Landscape.' The beginning is just setting the stage, but the later parts of the story are even more exciting."

"I'm currently working on post-production for 'The Wandering Earth,' and I have several important meetings to attend."

"Maybe next month, I have to do a cameo role in 'The Squid Game,' my schedule is really full."

Of the several projects that Jiang Dong's family was working on simultaneously, "Squid Game" was still the highest priority.

Because both "The Silent Truth" and "The Hidden Corner" only have influence within China.

However, the murder mystery game genre of "It's Your Turn" is too niche and has low expectations.

Only "Squid Game" capitalized on the global popularity of battle royale games to target overseas markets.

For this reason, Governor Zhou even went so far as to persuade Wen Muye, one of the three great generals of Jiangdong, to personally carry out the operation.
