China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1061 Jing Tian: He's Different

"I say molasses is the sweetest. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"After all the twists and turns, nectar is the best choice. We've been through thick and thin together for over ten years, and this bond is priceless."

"The person upstairs is right! Every time Mimi mentions Mr. Zhou, her tone is very special, and her eyes are so gentle they're almost dripping with tenderness. You can't fool anyone."

"I'll only say 'perfect match' once."

"Heh, you came back from Spain looking all humiliated, and you still have the nerve to brag? Being completely outmatched by Teacher Fan isn't even as shameful as it should be."

"Hilarious! Fan Bingbing is a genuine Venice Film Festival Best Actress winner, her award is incredibly prestigious, and you dare to brag about your Golden Deer Award?"

"You upstairs is fucking stupid!"

"Bounce!"

"."

Since they've chosen the path of gaining notoriety through controversy, they must bear the consequences of any backlash from the resulting negative publicity.

For every fan who elevates you to the heavens, there's an equal number of haters who wish they could trample you into the mud.

Every time Yang Mi makes headlines, it's accompanied by a storm of controversy.

Yang Mi, whose inner strength had long been cultivated, seemed completely oblivious to this. She even had the leisure to log onto Weibo and post a selfie of herself pouting and kissing the Golden Deer Best Actress trophy.

"Bringing a cute little deer home~ Thank you to all my fans for your support! [Heart][Sprinkling flowers]"

This Weibo post was like a rallying cry, and the fans collectively celebrated.

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan, best friends from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, also reposted in support, subtly showcasing their sisterly bond.

Their respective fans followed suit, and surprisingly, even fans of the actress Liu Yifei came to support her.

There's no other reason than that Teacher Fan has been in the spotlight too much lately, with all sorts of articles online criticizing and belittling her, sweeping across all female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, including the usually low-key Liu Yifei.

With fans united in their hatred of the enemy, they surprisingly formed a joint attack on "Bingbang," reminiscent of the six major sects besieging Bright Peak in the past.

After receiving the award and finishing up with an offline business announcement for a luxury brand, Yang Mi took some time to return to her company, MiXing, for an important meeting.

On the surface, it seems like a peaceful and idyllic scene.

But only Zeng Jia, who has been Yang Mi's sister for over ten years, knew that Yang Mi was probably about to explode with anger.

After the meeting ended, Zeng Jia couldn't help but ask with concern, "Mimi, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Yang Mi spoke calmly, though a fleeting, strange glint flashed in her eyes.

"It's good that you're alright. Don't take the random comments online too seriously."

Zeng Jia observed her expression, not discerning much emotional fluctuation, and said, "Don't worry, this time it was that guy surnamed Fan who went too far. We're not easy to bully. I've already arranged for my PR team to prepare a press release."

In today's film and television industry, the industry giants led by Jiangdong are said to possess a million-strong Jiangdong navy.

Even small and medium-sized film and television companies maintain professional public relations teams, and the annual expenditure on public opinion monitoring and guidance is an astonishing astronomical figure.

"never mind."

Yang Mi shrugged and said indifferently, "I guess it wasn't her who did it. Maybe someone is trying to stir up trouble."

It's common for celebrities to engage in backstabbing and smear campaigns. According to Zeng Jia, it's nothing more than releasing smear articles to drag Teacher Fan down with him.

Such petty tricks are hard to hide from those who are observant, and they are rather low-level.

Aside from everyone hurting each other, what benefits are there?
More importantly, Yang Mi didn't want to be seen as "narrow-minded and vindictive" in Zhou Yutang's eyes.

This is actually detrimental to her overall strategy of taking things slowly.

This little thought is naturally not something to be shared with outsiders.

"Honey, you have such a broad perspective."

Zeng Jia paused for a moment, then hugged Yang Mi's arm and said eagerly, "You're so beautiful and sensible. If I were Zhou Yutang, I would cherish you and hold you in the palm of my hand."

"Stop being so mushy."

"Oh, right, I heard the sound of wind."

Changing the subject, Zeng Jia tentatively asked, "Everyone says that Jiangdong has started a new 'Mulan' project, which is going head-to-head with Disney, and they're going to do a global release... Do we have any chance to try and get one?"

If Yang Mi were to land this top-tier role, it would greatly enhance her status and international reputation.

Honey Travel is largely a large-scale operation built on Yang Mi's personal star power.

If they could take this opportunity to gain a share of the profits, their business would take off.

Mentioning this, Yang Mi's previously calm face darkened, and she shook her head slightly, "There are too many people eyeing this kind of project, and the competition is extremely fierce."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Zeng Jia urged, "This is a rare opportunity. After being trampled on like this by that Fan guy, he wants to be fair and will have to make amends."

"You don't understand. Some things were decided before this project even started."

Yang Mi interrupted Zeng Jia, and for a fleeting moment, a hint of disappointment crossed her delicate face.

However, things calmed down after a short while.

For some unknown reason, Yang Mi's dark, bright fox-like eyes suddenly narrowed, and a meaningful smile curved her lips:

"The opportunity has come."

On the night Teacher Fan won the Venice Film Festival, she looked at Zhou Yutang with tender affection in her eyes on the podium.

The video clips, analyzed frame by frame by various marketing accounts and then spliced ​​together through editing, have driven casual netizens crazy.

These past few days, the "Ice Sugar CP" (a popular pairing of two celebrities) have been incredibly powerful, launching attacks everywhere.

He joined forces with Tianxianfen, Baiwan Xiaoshizi, and several other female celebrities' fans who had stories with Zhou Dudu, forming an alliance of eighteen warlords, and fought them off in turn online.

The battle was so fierce that it shattered the sky and extinguished the sun and moon.

Fortunately, Jiangdong Entertainment was well-prepared. Through pre-planned marketing, the public's attention was cleverly shifted to Fan Bingbing's new film "She Kills," creating a positive feedback loop.

Although the film's opening day box office did not reach the level of a phenomenal blockbuster, it has firmly carried the banner of Chinese-language films in the current relatively quiet period, and its performance can be described as remarkable.

However, no one expected that on the 16th, someone in the Chinese entertainment industry would have the audacity to openly "steal a woman" from Zhou Yutang.

"Twelve years have passed since we met, and autumn has arrived once again. Happy birthday to my dearest woman!!"

Li Yu, a well-known female director in the industry, posted on her Weibo account right on time to celebrate Teacher Fan's birthday, and also shared a photo of the two of them from twelve years ago.

In the photo, Teacher Fan's black hair cascades down her shoulders, and she is standing head to head with Li Yu, looking intently at the camera.

Although it was taken with an old-fashioned landline camera and has black and white pixels, its beauty is still undeniable.

Most importantly, there's an indescribable intimate and ambiguous atmosphere flowing through the photos.

At that moment, Teacher Fan, who was on a roadshow in another city, seemed to have a telepathic connection and immediately forwarded the post on Weibo, responding with a shy emoji and a heart.

Oh wow, it's confirmed, Teacher Fan is a lesbian.

Netizens were in an uproar again.

Teacher Fan and Li Yu are a golden duo who complement each other perfectly.

The two have collaborated on films such as "Apple", "Buddha Mountain", "Double Exposure" and "Ever Since We Love". Whenever Li Yu starts a new film, she always asks Fan to play the female lead. Fan also won the Best Actress award at the Tokyo International Film Festival for her role in "Buddha Mountain".

Now they're exchanging affections and confessing their love on Weibo, looking like they're overflowing with romantic feelings.

Although Chen Duling was abroad, she didn't forget to surf the internet, her gossip spirit burning brightly: "Boss, is Li Yu and Teacher Fan really having an affair?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yutang suddenly stopped in his tracks, a question mark slowly appearing on his face.

Chen Duling, who was following behind him, did not expect the sudden stop and bumped into her boss's broad and muscular back, which he had built up over a long period of exercise. She quickly steadied herself.

"Why do you ask?"

"Sister Ning said that looking at their eyes and interactions in the photo, she felt that their relationship was unusual and that there was a story behind it." The Sister Ning she was referring to is Sun Yining, a member of Rocket Girls known for her good looks and unique personality.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible"

Zhou Yutang glanced at the photo and waved his hand dismissively: "Don't learn bad things from Sun Yining."

He had heard that Sun Yining, the visual center of Rocket Girls, was a heartthrob who charmed countless girls at autograph sessions, earning her the nickname "Queen of Picking Up Girls."

"It's everywhere."

Chen Duling's pretty face was slightly flushed; some parts of her face were soft, but her lips were truly hard.

However, Li Yu's meddling actually did Jiangdong a favor.

Jiangdong Entertainment's public relations department cleverly took advantage of the situation, stirring up the waters of the fishpond and diverting the overly concentrated focus of public opinion.

At the same time, the domestic TV drama market continues to be a vibrant and thriving place.

Just like the phenomenal hit drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" during the summer, a successful hit drama can make people rise to fame as easily as eating and drinking.

Wu Jinyan was just a nobody back then, but she became a sensation with her role as Wei Yingluo, instantly rising to the ranks of a top-tier actress, and became so arrogant that she forgot herself.

The same is true for "Ashes of Love," which is now a hit on both TV and online platforms. With its massive viewership, the male lead, Deng Lun, has reaped huge benefits.

Before this, he was just a nobody.

Within days, he gained a million followers on Weibo, his status skyrocketed to that of a top-tier actor, and he was inundated with business offers.

In addition, Chen Yuqi, who is under Tangyan Studio, and another newcomer, Luo Yunxi, also benefited from the drama to some extent, so they were all on the same table.

Yang Zi, the female lead of "Ashes of Love," is the focal point of the entire drama. Originally a top-tier actress, she has surpassed the two beauties from "Chinese Paladin" to rise to the top, resulting in a surge in popularity and making her even more sought-after.

She also has another highly anticipated urban romance drama, "Go Go Squid!", directed by Jiangdong's top director Lin Yufen, waiting to be broadcast, and her future looks bright.

Just as her career was at its peak, Yang Zi was suddenly rumored to have broken up with her boyfriend, which quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens.

However, this had nothing to do with Zhou Yutang. After her short vacation in Italy, Gulnazar returned to China to attend her scheduled events.

Zhou Yutang and his team flew directly to Daiying to handle club-related matters.

Liverpool Football Club's operations are now managed by a professional team.

However, some key operational decisions still require his personal approval as the boss.

When he received the call from Princess Sweet, Governor Zhou had just finished a meeting with Liverpool FC executives and even had a taste of authentic fish and chips.

"Good evening, Brother Yu Tang."

After adjusting the camera angle, Jing Tian's bright and beautiful face appeared on the screen.

The background is her cozy and comfortable boudoir. The sweet princess seems to have just taken a bath, her hair is slightly damp and casually draped over her shoulders, and she is wearing a loose-fitting off-white cotton T-shirt.

The neckline was a bit low, revealing her fair neck and snow-white skin beneath.

And, those enviable curves that seem ready to burst forth.

Hearing faint sobbing sounds from the other end, Zhou Yutang frowned slightly and asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Who's crying over there?"

"Oh, it's Kiyoko in the living room."

Sweet Princess turned around, stuck out her tongue, and said in a low voice, "She and her boyfriend, you know, so-and-so, just broke up, and she's in a bad mood, so she's staying here tonight."

“I know that. Dudu just gossiped about it yesterday, ‘You like the sea and I loved you,’ right?”

"Goose, goose, goose, goose!"

Princess Sweetie on the other end of the video was stunned for a moment, then was amused by Zhou Yutang's sudden gossip and accurate witty remarks, and laughed out loud like a goose.

The fact that Zhou Dadudu, who is a powerful and busy figure in the entertainment industry, would pay attention to the breakup gossip of a minor celebrity is quite endearing.

Kan Qingzi on the other end cried with a sorrowful expression.

Princess Sweet laughed so hard her shoulders swayed, making her appear even more charming and adorable.

She had a slender waist and full breasts.

The nickname "Big Sweetie" is well-deserved, especially at this golden age. She's a mature woman with a youthful charm, and her allure is undeniable.

Even through the screen, Zhou Yutang could truly feel what it meant to be tangibly charming and alluring.

I can't help but recall that night in the car, that unforgettable soft, rounded feel.
Zhou Yutang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he somewhat laboriously looked away from the screen, taking a tactical sip of water.
"I watched the trailer for 'Sito', and it looks pretty good. I hope you'll work hard on the promotion during this period."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Jing Tian seemed to sense the heat in his gaze; her cheeks flushed, and she awkwardly adjusted her bra strap, changing the subject.
"Brother Yu Tang, how's everything going on your end? When are you coming back to China?"

"Things are going fairly smoothly, but I'll probably be busy for another two days."

"."

To be honest, there's really nothing fun to do in Britain, and recently there was even some ridiculous protest.

Aside from making a brief appearance at the club, Zhou Yutang was practically glued to the hotel after arriving, spending all his time in meetings, which was truly a miserable experience.

After chatting with Princess Tian for a while, Zhou Yutang browsed some film and television news.

This year's Qixi Festival seems to be cursed, with several celebrity couples breaking up.

So much so that the media is jokingly calling autumn a season for breakups.

Xiao Ma's breakup with that young man who debuted through a talent show even involved the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

Now, Sweet Princess's best friend Kan Qingzi's breakup with her boyfriend has also made headlines.

The most talked-about topic is still the breakup scandal of Yang Zi, a top-tier actress.

Zhou Shufang, being experienced, quickly released an official statement, which was nothing more than a standard public relations statement such as "due to busy schedules and infrequent meetings, the artists have decided to return to a friendship after careful consideration."

On the other end of the video call.

Jing Tian put down her phone and turned to comfort Kan Qingzi, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, you'll cry away all your good fortune."

"Sweetie, no man is any good."

"Exactly, they're all bad."

"Who were you video chatting with just now?"

Kan Qingzi raised her red and swollen eyes and sobbed as she said something.

"what?"

Jing Tian's expression was slightly unnatural: "You heard everything?"

She went to the bedroom to turn on the video call, afraid that her best friend might do something rash, but she didn't close the door.

"I heard a little bit when I passed by on my way to the toilet."

Kan Qingzi immediately perked up: "Is it President Zhou?"

"Don't tell anyone, we're not in that kind of relationship."

Jing Tian's heart skipped a beat, and she spoke with a hint of unease.

It would be strange if it wasn't that kind of relationship.

He calls me "Brother Yu Tang" so sweetly it's almost sickening.

"Sure, Sweetie, you're quite the hidden gem!"

The sadness from the breakup was instantly overshadowed by this shocking revelation. Kan Qingzi was now completely unable to dwell on her grief and couldn't help but tease him:

"Someone just said that all men are bad, so does that mean Governor Zhou is included in that category?"

"Forehead."

Jing Tian was taken aback by the question, and blushed as she retorted, "One thing is one thing, he's different."
