China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1076 Reciting Poetry and Tasting Sweetness, Defeat at Maicheng

This is the flower of worldly wealth and honor that is blooming before us.

Upon hearing Governor Zhou's gentle and kind words, the weariness and fatigue of the past few days seemed to vanish instantly.

The tender affection flowing from those big, bright eyes could melt even the hardest iron.

"Brother Yu Tang, do you know about Xiao Tong's situation?"

"Which Xiaotong?"

"Mao Xiaotong."

"Didn't she just break up? What happened now?"

Zhou Yutang didn't have time to pay too much attention to gossip, but he had heard Chen Duling mention that this girl had been cheated on by a scumbag. Now that Jing Tian brought it up again, he was a little curious.

Jing Tian has many friends in the entertainment circle, including the members of the Running Man cast, as well as Tian Liu, Hao Hao, and even her college classmates Tan Songyun and Kan Qingzi, with whom she has a good relationship.

Mao Xiaotong is also a member of the Sweet Princess's best friend group.

When it came to her best friend's experience, even the usually mild-mannered Sweet Princess was indignant:
"How could there be such a person? They are utterly shameless!"

The background of this sweet girl, Mao Xiaotong, is actually quite bumpy and tragic.

Unlike most celebrities in the industry, she doesn't have a family to support her or a pre-planned career path.

She was thrown into a trash can by her biological father, and her parents later divorced. She was raised by her mother alone.

To have reached the second-tier status in the industry today, I really don't know how much hardship he endured.

This girl has finally made it through the tough times, but first she was cheated on by a scumbag, and then her irresponsible father went on a variety show and made outrageous remarks, asking his daughter for 50 million yuan. It's absolutely outrageous.

Zhou Yutang's values ​​were shattered, and she joined Princess Sweet in fiercely criticizing her scumbag father who was sucking his daughter's blood.

As they talked, the two of them unconsciously sat closer and closer together.

They were so close that their legs were almost touching.

In fact, whether a woman rejects physical intimacy is one of the most direct indicators of her interest in a man.

If a girl has a physical aversion to you when you're together, you'll notice that her subtle body language will unconsciously distance her from you.

In this situation, nothing you do will help advance the relationship.

Conversely, the same principle applies.

Zhou Yutang never takes the initiative, but sometimes he doesn't even need to.

There's no need to be too deliberate; it's something that will happen naturally.

As the two chatted, Zhou Yutang's hand seemed to be drawn by a magnet, landing on those beautiful legs.

Jing Tian looked in his direction, her large eyes sparkling as if they could speak:
"Brother Yu Tang, between my legs and Tang Yan's, whose legs are prettier?"

Since her breakout role as the lesbian flight attendant in "Breakup Buddies," Tang Yan has been recognized as having amazing legs in the entertainment industry, and has since landed several endorsements for stockings.

Women often display their proudest strengths in front of men they care about.

Just like the classic question that Tang Yan once asked Zhou Yutang: between her and Gulnazar, who has the most beautiful legs?

Ding Jianguo, the god-sister of Governor Zhou, also has very popular and beautiful legs that are white and slender.

Even her best friend Jiang Shuying, ever since netizens praised her beautiful legs, has made sure to show off her long legs whenever she appears in public, and seems to be transitioning into the "leg goddess" category.

However, as far as Commander Zhou, who had experienced countless battles, was concerned...

Each has it's own benefits.

The sweet princess can perfectly pull off a cheongsam, and her legs are in no way inferior to those of Tang Yan or Gulnazar.

Standing at 168cm tall, she has naturally excellent proportions. Her dance background since childhood, combined with Pilates and yoga, along with appropriate strength training, have contributed to her success.

Her legs were straight and slender, with smooth and beautiful lines, and an indescribable warmth and plumpness.

"It has to be you."

Giving a standard answer in more than three seconds is disrespectful to the Grand Commander of Jiangdong.

The answer is you.

If Nazha asks that question, then she must have the most beautiful legs in the world.

Having received the answer she wanted, Princess Sweetie was overjoyed and immediately moved her legs even closer to his.

Jing Tian blinked: "Brother Yu Tang, could you give me some pointers tonight? I'm not quite sure how to handle the role of a firefighter."

Firefighters must know how to put out fires.

Zhou Yutang is known for his kindness, so he gave Princess Tian a good lesson.

From body to mind.

From the inside out.

He imparted the essentials of firefighting without reservation.

Princess Sweet is very perceptive and has a very thorough understanding of the character.

This year's TV drama scene can only be described as a battle of titans.

The Grand Commander's final dance in the snow was a phenomenal performance, undeniably securing the title of drama of the year ahead of schedule.

Secondly, the TV series "Story of Yanxi Palace", "Ashes of Love" and "Si Teng" were all phenomenal hits.

The competition was so fierce that even Yang Mi's leading lady drama "Legend of Fuyao" and Tang Yan's "Return to the World" couldn't squeeze into the top ranks of their respective periods.

If October was entirely dominated by Sweet Princess's drama "Rattan," then Tencent's S-level mega-project "Ever Night" is destined to be the most anticipated TV series after "Rattan."

After "Joy of Life", Yuewen Platinum Author Mao Pang has already proven himself to be a top male-oriented IP author. His works were then absorbed by Tencent.

Now that Tencent Video is backing this show, production costs are naturally not a problem.

With veteran actors like Jin Shijie, Ni Dahong, Zheng Shaoqiu, and Hu Jun, plus Leon Lai, who hasn't had any new works in a long time, the cast is absolutely luxurious.

After the broadcast of "Sito" ended, the promotional campaign went into full swing, immediately taking over on both Tencent Video and Bilibili platforms.

As for why Bilibili was able to obtain the online broadcasting license, it is naturally because the two major companies reached a private deal and exchanged resources.

With Governor Zhou in charge of Jiangdong, it's virtually impossible for Tencent to achieve a comeback in the film and television industry.

However, it's unrealistic for Jiangdong to completely eliminate Tencent, which has a strong foundation.

From a business perspective, while competition is naturally present, the consensus reached by both parties is to expand the market through partial cooperation.

Since it's a collaboration, there's no reason for Tencent to be the only one benefiting from the partnership. Tencent's copyright channels should also be open to Tencent.

Just like with the previous "Fighter of the Destiny," which featured artists from the Jiangdong region, Jiangdong naturally wants to get a piece of the pie with this project, which is expected to be a hit.

However, "Ever Night" is not truly invincible. At this time, Mango Entertainment, which had just had a pleasant collaboration with Jiangdong Entertainment, turned around and switched to Kiwi Entertainment. The two companies came together to plot a big plan.

"The Rise of Phoenixes," adapted from Tianxia Guiyuan's novel "Huang Quan," boasts a super-luxurious star-studded cast, including the "Western Depot's Flower" Bai Baihe, Zhao Lixin, Ni Dahong, and other veteran actors, and its promotional campaign was equally impressive.

Chen Kun is back with another divine performance, and his film has been acquired by Netflix at the highest level, soon to be translated into more than a dozen languages ​​and expected to be broadcast globally.
"Ever Night" VS "The Rise of Phoenixes"!
When these two sides clash, it's like a needle against a wheat awn, full of tension and conflict.

This blockbuster from Tencent Video has achieved exceptionally strong performance on both Tencent Penguin Pictures and Bilibili, perfectly capitalizing on the popularity of "Sito".

It completely overshadowed other dramas released at the same time, such as "The Rise of Phoenixes," which was a collaboration between several companies including kiwifruit, Cehua, and Mango TV.

Chen Kun's fans were originally looking forward to the arrival of the "depot flower" from the Western Depot, but when the premiere ratings came out, they were completely disappointed, leaving the production companies, including kiwifruit and mango, in a state of panic.

"The factory beauty isn't doing so well; she can't even beat Arthur."

"There's nothing we can do, it's all the Grand Commander's fault for making Cat Fat's novel so popular. 'Ever Night' can be considered a conscientious adaptation of male-oriented fantasy novels!"

"Despite its flaws, the production is sincere and it's a top-notch work among similar films." "Arthur is still too inexperienced. Can't he control his facial expressions? He keeps making a crooked face, which is embarrassing to watch."

"After all, they are newcomers, but they do respect the original work quite a bit, and the on-location shooting has a cinematic quality."

"I heard that the special effects were done by Jiangdong's Vision Media."

"That explains it."

"."

Vision Media, which handled the special effects production for the entire project, delivered a truly satisfactory result.

This further solidified its position as the leading domestic special effects company.

Although Chen Feiyu's acting skills have been criticized by netizens, he is riding the wave of opportunity, and even a pig can fly.

It was indeed worth the poet Chen's painstaking efforts; once the divine pancake was fed into Arthur's mouth, it successfully propelled him to power.

She rose to fame by stepping on the top-tier coffee shop's most beautiful girl, which can be described as instant success.

As for the female lead of this drama, Yuan Bingyan, who plays Mo Shanshan, she also benefited from the popularity and became a minor celebrity for a while.

"Ahhh, congratulations, Xiao Yuan! Mo Shanshan is so beautiful! 'Ever Night' is super good! I'm watching every episode! [heart][sprinkling flowers]"

Zhou Yutang saw that her good friend Dilraba posted a congratulatory message on Weibo, along with a selfie of herself watching a drama on her tablet.

Subsequently, Zhong Chuxi also reposted the Weibo post, and several fan groups started a team-building activity in the comments section.

Dilraba is undoubtedly a top-tier celebrity, while Yuan Bingyan and Zhong Chuxi, who are also at the table, are both second-tier celebrities. The entire dormitory is considered one of the more prominent star-studded dormitories in the industry.

First recite the poem, then taste the sweetness.

Governor Zhou, who had been so engrossed in his pleasures that he forgot about his homeland, finally turned back to his loyal, scattered hometown.

First, he made an appearance in Yancheng.

This was also a pre-arranged itinerary.

Ningbo gained fame with the movie "Caught in the Web," and Qingdao became a domestic tourist destination after "The Lonely and Great God." Recently, the hit drama "Si Teng" has boosted the cultural tourism of Yunnan, the filming location.

With such a gem preceding them, the local leadership in Yancheng also got the idea.

This is to take advantage of Jiang Dongjia's new drama "Squid Game" to transform a local abandoned amusement park into a theme park related to the TV series, attracting tourists to come and take photos.

This matter would certainly benefit the development of cultural tourism in his hometown, so Zhou Yutang thought about it and agreed.

After finishing my social engagements, I also went to watch a Jiangsu Provincial City Football League match.

Compared to the frenzy at the start of the season, the Scottish Premiership's popularity has actually cooled down somewhat, which is understandable.

It started with the province of Buqi, and the neighboring province of Zhejiang also came up with some ideas, and then launched the Zhejiang Basketball League (Zhejiang BA), which has gained some popularity.

Soon, various sports leagues, such as badminton and table tennis, sprang up in other provinces across the country, creating a sports craze.

But when it comes to viewership, the Jiangsu Provincial City Football League is undoubtedly the most popular in China.

Without the intervention of the Football Association, the "Thirteen Protectors of Jiangsu Province" were all grudges, making the match extremely exciting.

Zhou Yutang is still conducting research in Wuxi, and his planned trip to South Korea has been cancelled.

In the League of Legends World Championship held in October, the Jiangdong team, which was hailed as a top powerhouse, surprisingly lost to the South Korean powerhouse GEN·G with a score of 2:3 in the quarterfinals.

Prior to this, Jiangdong, hailed as a potential contender for a five-time world championship, suffered a crushing defeat, shocking the gaming industry both domestically and internationally.

"Aaaaaah! I burst into tears when I saw the crystal explode... My dream of becoming a five-time champion is shattered!"

"Damn it! What were the coaching staff doing?! The draft picks in the last game were just awful!"

"The players aren't in good form either; it feels like they've suddenly forgotten how to play the game."

"Damn it, I'm going all in for a 3-0 victory. Forget about flying, let's just swim back."

"."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the comments online.

Aside from a small number of fans who were still trying to comfort the team, it was a complete day of derision for haters.

This gaming and esports scene is starting to resemble the entertainment industry.

The Jiangdong team had previously been too dominant and powerful, garnering a huge fan base in China, but also attracting a large number of haters.

"Boss, Manager Liu's resignation letter has been submitted."

Chen Duling also harbored some resentment, as she was eagerly anticipating the finals in early November, when she would be going to South Korea with her boss.

At that time, she will be able to enjoy a paid vacation and go to the scene to watch the opening stage performance and the final of Rocket Girls' final.

Now, Governor Zhou's trip to South Korea has been cancelled at the last minute.

This means that her vacation is naturally over.

"Old Liu did a good job leading the team, what would be the point of replacing him?"

Zhou Yutang said calmly, "Have him submit a summary report."

There are many objective factors that affect esports competitions, and it is not true that having strong theoretical strength guarantees a consistent victory.

More importantly, it depends on how well the players' favorite heroes fit the current version, as well as their on-the-spot competitive state and mental adjustment on the day of the competition.

Jiangdong team has a strong background and has won many victories over the years, which has led to a certain degree of arrogance throughout the club.

Before the competition even started, the club manager made a solemn promise to guarantee a spot in the finals.

In addition, the designers made adjustments to the game version, causing their own players to feel somewhat out of place with the current version's strengths.

This defeat is to be expected.

After all, Samsung is a super team that brings together the top players in the entire LCK, and in terms of strength, it is actually on par with Jiangdong.

Zhou Yutang has no intention of removing Manager Liu for the time being.

Although this person has become a bit arrogant, he is indeed capable, and the club's overall operation over the past few years has been quite successful.

However, given Jiangdong's massive investment, which places it at the top of the alliance, if it fails to even successfully operate an aircraft carrier, then its position will naturally be adjusted accordingly.

Jiangdong suffered a crushing defeat in the semifinals, while RNG and EDG were eliminated in the quarterfinals, respectively, leaving both teams to return home empty-handed.

In the entire LPL, only Wanda Xiaowang's IG remained. Also in the quarterfinals, IG narrowly defeated LCK champion KT with a score of 3:2.

"Boss Zhou, calm down. There are winners and losers in a competition."

Wang Xiaowang, the head of Wanda Group, personally led a team to South Korea to oversee the battle and called Zhou Yutang to express his condolences.

In the entertainment and business world, Xiao Wang couldn't fit into Governor Zhou's circle at all; he could only talk to his father when he came.

But when it comes to games, we get along very well.

When Zhou Yutang has some free time, he'll play games with Xiao Wang to relax.

"It must be hard to hold back laughter, right?"

Zhou Yutang said calmly.

"Nothing of the sort, we're all brothers, haha."

Wang Xiaowang of Wanda Group finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

IG's roster has just been formed this year, and their performance is not very stable. In several LPL matches against Jiangdong, they were defeated every time. Netizens joked that this was the relationship between the Prime Minister and Meng Huo.

Now that the Prime Minister has suffered the tragedy of Wuzhang Plains, it is not impossible for Meng Huo to become king.
