China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1096 The Strongest Dinner Party in the Eastern Hemisphere, Governor Zhou in High Spirits
I was scrolling through news articles about La Peikang promoting a patriotic blockbuster by China Film Group.

Zhou Yutang's eyebrows were slightly raised.

He suddenly remembered a crucial question.

Wolf Warrior is the absolute lead actor in this movie. If he really went to climb Mount Everest, how could he take the Earth on a journey?

With this in mind, he casually made a phone call to Wu Jing.
"Brother Jing, have you arranged all the schedules?"

"rest assured."

Wu Jing laughed heartily, "I had already communicated with Chairman La in advance, and we will definitely set aside two weeks to fully cooperate with the roadshow. It won't delay anything."

"See you at the premiere then."

Zhou Yutang's brows relaxed, indicating his satisfaction with the result.

The roadshow plan for "The Wandering Earth" was already set in advance, and even he personally led the team to do the roadshow. How could Wolf Warrior possibly do it?

If Wolf Warrior can fight over a hundred people, then it's perfectly reasonable for the lead actor in the film to take on more promotional responsibilities and travel to a dozen or so more cities for the director, who has difficulty managing his time.
After chatting for a while, they vaguely heard a loud, clear cry of a baby. Zhou Yutang smiled and asked, "Is your second child awake? He sounds quite lively."

Wu Jing's second son was born in September of this year.

Speaking of Wolf Warrior, he's truly a genius at naming his children. His eldest son is named Wu Suowei (meaning "Wu Doesn't Matter"), and his second son is named Wu Lü (meaning "Wu Worry").
According to him, brothers getting together means being carefree.

Xie Nan and the woman in green had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship in private. They often exchanged tips on raising children.

Wu Jing also rushed home to become a super dad after attending the China Film Group's press conference.

"Hey, don't mention it!"

Hearing Zhou Yutang ask, Wu Jing said with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "That kid makes a ruckus every night, it's more tiring than filming. Your daughter is much more worry-free."

Zhou Yutang could imagine Wu Jing frantically trying to soothe the child, and he couldn't help but feel smug.

In the words of a top-rated postpartum nanny, the genetic advantage is quite obvious.

Governor Zhou's two daughters showed signs of being different from ordinary children from birth, and they are destined to be extraordinary people.

That's a bit of an overstatement.

With a father who is the richest man in the country, the two princesses of Jiangdong were born with the power of money.

Zhou Yutang didn't really care about their talents. With him backing them up, there were no surprises. He just hoped they would be healthy and happy.

All the groundwork laid during this period paid off; Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan's relationship has progressed to the point where they can occasionally book beauty spa appointments.

After moving into Donghu Manor and living together, the two sisters will likely get along even better.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou was resting with his eyes closed, dreaming of Donghu Lake, when his phone rang again.

This time, the caller ID showed it was JD.com's "Dong Ge" (Liu Dong), who sounded very warm: "Yu Tang, when are you arriving? I've already arranged a place. We must have a good get-together tonight."

"It will be another half hour to Xiaoshan."

Zhou Yutang glanced at his watch. "Brother Dong, I heard that the Dongxing Bureau you set up last year was quite a spectacle?"

"Those are all names that netizens made up."

Dong Ge smiled in a very approachable manner: "You know what, with you here this year, who knows what kind of rumors will spread about the Jiangdong Bureau."

The general once said that people must eat.

Gathering for meals is a fine tradition in China, and it is also a traditional feature of the World Internet Conference.

JD.com's CEO, Liu Qiangdong, and Meituan's CEO, Xingzi, had a dinner together during the Wuzhen Internet Conference.

Participants included executives from companies such as Tencent, Meituan, Didi, and Xiaomi.

The photos later somehow ended up online, immediately attracting widespread attention and ridicule from netizens.

Because the organizers were Dong Ge and Xing Zai, they named it "Dongxing Dinner Party".

As you can see, Pony Ma of Tencent rightfully took the center position, enjoying drinks and conversation with several other spirited internet tycoons.

Ding, the CEO of NetEase next door, was not to be outdone, and several CEOs from 360, Baidu, Sohu, Xiaomi, JD.com, Tencent, and other companies also made appearances.

These people gathered together were like several mountains of gold, their brilliance dazzling, almost blinding netizens.

As a result, it has attracted a lot of attention, and various rumors about wealthy circles have been rampant on forums such as Zhihu, which Zhou Yutang has also heard about.

Wuzhen doesn't have an airport, so this time he flew directly from Beijing to Xiaoshan, a journey of less than two hours.

Upon landing, a private car was already waiting, and we headed straight to Wuzhen.

Every December, Wuzhen, the permanent venue for the World Internet Conference, attracts countless eyes from around the world.

This year's event is of an even higher standard, far surpassing previous years.

Longxuan's number two was in Beijing last night to preside over the Huabiao Awards, while the number one was in Wuzhen a few days ago to attend the opening ceremony of the 5th World Internet Conference.

Almost all the big names in China's technology and internet industries were present.

Even people from overseas came to join in the fun.

At this moment, Wuzhen has the feel of a martial arts gathering in a wuxia novel, where heroes from all over the world gather.

After Long Xuan, the top leader, finished his opening speech, leaders from the Cyberspace Administration of China were also present to oversee the event.

Since the goal is to grow bigger and stronger, in addition to the two Mas of the Celestial Empire, the powerful Governor Zhou of Jiangdong is also indispensable.

If we're talking about the same super-rich people in China, Ma Xiaoma and Ma Dama became famous long before Governor Zhou.

Regardless of wealth, just in terms of appearance and temperament, Zhou Yutang could easily defeat anyone, big or small.

Even Li, the CEO of Baidu, who is known as a scholar-general, is slightly inferior.

He became the richest man in China at the age of thirty and is considered the most handsome man in Asia.

There was no need for deliberate marketing; when Zhou Yutang's huge image poster appeared on the LED screen of the main venue of the Wuzhen Internet Conference, it was extremely convincing.

Not only did it attract passersby to stop and take photos, but it also trended on social media in multiple countries.

The leader from the Cyberspace Administration of China thought he was fully prepared, but it turned out that he had underestimated Zhou Yutang's global influence.

Since the news was released that Governor Zhou had endorsed this year's Internet Conference.

The news attracted overseas media, directly boosting the international attention on the Wuzhen Internet Conference by an order of magnitude.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Wuzhen Internet Conference this week generated a level of online buzz comparable to the phenomenon of "Produce 101".

The leaders were naturally satisfied with the results.

If this grand event is a complete success, it will be a significant achievement in his political career.

……

"China is an incredible country with a rich history and culture spanning five thousand years. It has also nurtured an astonishing number of outstanding talents who are hardworking and intelligent. Their speed and efficiency in execution have left a deep impression on me."

Zhou is one of the best among these elites, and I am his biggest fan.

I heard he's filming on set, and I had to go back to China to handle urgent matters. I'm so sorry I didn't get to see him this time, but "The Wandering Earth" is about to be released worldwide, and I can't wait to go to the cinema."

Don't assume that foreigners don't understand social etiquette.

Ma Shengke understands this perfectly.

Due to an unexpected situation at his company, he had to rush back to deal with it. After attending three themed forums, he left early and just happened to pass by Zhou Yutang.

However, before his departure, he gave an interview to the media, and even remembered to promote "The Wandering Earth," which immediately sparked heated discussions on the Chinese internet.
"Ma Sheng is a good person to get along with, he really knows how to handle things!"

"Why is 'The Wandering Earth' so popular overseas?"

"Recently, there has been a lot of publicity for this film overseas, and many Hollywood stars have been sharing and supporting it on social media."

"The IP address upstairs is in America, so we have to believe it."

"It's not that 'The Wandering Earth' has a lot of prestige abroad, but that the Grand Commander carries a lot of weight!"

"."

The vast majority of ordinary netizens don't care about this or that technological development.

Work is tiring enough, so I only go online to relax and watch some fun.

Ma Sheng is considered a prominent figure in America, especially since he frequently interacts with Governor Zhou on social media, attracting considerable attention even domestically. However, compared to Ma Sheng, Zhou Yutang's innate ability to generate public attention is far more significant.

When the dual aura of an entertainment superstar and a top tycoon falls upon one person at the same time, they naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Yutang has become accustomed to this attention and is not bothered by the pressure at all.

For Chen Duling, who was traveling with him, such an opportunity to get up close to so many super-rich people was a rare one.

Online, so-called industry insiders often anonymously reveal various inside stories of the super-rich.

For example, Governor Zhou and Brother Dong, two seemingly disparate brothers, became close friends and joined forces to fight against Ali Jack Ma Balabala.

It is also said that Pony Ma of Tencent pledged his allegiance to Jiangdong and reached a deep strategic cooperation, clearly dividing the entire internet industry into factions.

However, reality is far more complex than the rumors suggest.

For example, Zhou Yutang and Dong Ge did have a honeymoon period of close cooperation.

However, as Douyin and Toutiao, both under the Jiangdong Group, have integrated e-commerce and built a complete ecosystem, they are now in competition with JD.com.

The relationship between the two became somewhat delicate.

However, a full-scale confrontation is not necessarily the case.

Putting aside their personal relationship, Jiangdong and JD.com still maintain multiple collaborations in fields such as e-sports.

In reality, business alliances and mergers are never simple binary oppositions. At this level, they are more complex patterns where each party is intertwined with the other.

Just like today.

Pony Ma, who had just finished attending a major conference during the day, was being escorted to the hotel lobby by a group of Tencent executives.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside.

"General Manager Zhou from Jiangdong has arrived!"

Someone shouted, and everyone, including Little Ma, turned their heads and looked towards the door.

"Mr. Ma?"

The Tencent executive next to him said softly.

"Go and see."

Brother Ma smiled slightly, took the lead, and led everyone out to greet them.

All I saw was a luxury van parked in front of the hotel, and then a tall, elegant figure in a black coat stepped out of the car with composure.

Zhou Yutang waved to the media reporters who were waiting outside the hotel.

The organizer was very thoughtful; the event he was in charge of was scheduled for tomorrow. Tonight, at Dong Ge's kind invitation, I went to the gathering he organized.

As soon as Zhou Yutang entered the hotel lobby, she paused and immediately noticed two beams of light shining from behind Little Ma's glasses, like flashlights.

"Yu Tang, you've finally arrived! It's been so long!"

Little Ma stepped forward quickly, his smile quite warm.

"I am flattered and honored that Mr. Ma personally came to greet me."

Zhou Yutang smiled and extended her hand to him.

The two shook hands and hugged, then patted each other's shoulders familiarly.

Reporters outside the hotel jostled to get forward, and flashbulbs went off everywhere.

This meeting of two internet giants is a rare sight and is destined to be tomorrow's headline.

In recent years, Tencent and Jiangdong have also carried out in-depth cooperation in many fields and are well-known strategic allies.

However, there is competition in some areas.

For example, Tencent's attempt to copy Starry Night Games from Jiangdong was not something that could be accomplished overnight. However, their attempts to create a knock-off failed, and several attempts did not make a splash.

They had no choice but to reluctantly pay an even higher price and choose to cooperate with Starry Sky Games to get a share of the profits.

Furthermore, Tencent's relentless promotion of Weishi is fundamentally aimed at wresting market share from Douyin in the short video market.

The love-hate relationship, and the hate-love relationship, has recently extended to the film and television industry. Tencent and iQiyi have once again colluded to compete against Tencent's S+ level big-budget production, "The Story of Minglan".

In the business world, profit always comes first.

However, when the two met in person, they found themselves having a very engaging conversation, ranging from internet technology trends to the development of the film and television industry, and even the field of artificial intelligence.
Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air as they strolled arm in arm, enjoying each other's company.

They are like two wild brothers who have been separated for many years.

The two talked for a while in the lobby, which excited the media reporters present. The security personnel were sweating profusely and had to form a human wall by holding hands.

Fortunately, Zhou Yutang didn't stay outside for too long. He went into the private room while talking with Brother Ma.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"Yu Tang!"

"President Zhou has arrived."

The previously noisy private room suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Immediately, greetings and greetings arose one after another.

Zhou Yutang responded calmly, shaking hands with each person to greet them.

Dong Ge goes without saying, and Zhou Dudu also has shares in Meituan. Xingzai, who seems honest and doesn't talk much, is practically one of our own.

A glance swept across the room and it was clear that, apart from those from Alibaba, almost all the major players in China's internet industry were present, and everyone had a warm smile on their face.

Polite greetings were inevitable, but when it came time to take a seat, Governor Zhou declined three times, but was forced to sit down in the center of Chunshan.

As is customary, a photo should be taken.

Chen Duling, who was entrusted with this task, looked at the scene in the camera.

Centered on Zhou Dudu, to the left are Tencent's Pony Ma, ByteDance's Zhang Yiming, and Xingchen's Chen Min.

On the right are Dong Ge, Xingzai from Meituan, Uncle Chen from Bilibili, and others lined up in a row.

Needless to say, this seating arrangement speaks for itself.

Aside from the slight disappointment that Jack Ma wasn't there, this All-Star lineup is arguably the strongest dinner party in the Eastern Hemisphere right now.
……

The enclosed elevator could no longer contain the deep affection between the two.

The metal door reflected the entangled figures of the man and woman, their passionate kisses continuing from the elevator all the way to the thick carpeted hallway.

Then, until the door opens.

Those plump, long legs, encased in flesh-colored stockings, naturally wrapped around Governor Zhou's waist.

The buttons on Fan Meiren's satin shirt popped off as Zhou Yutang's heel hit the door.
At least tonight, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong's heart is ice-cold.

There are quite a few jokes online that say Fan Bingbing, who is stunningly beautiful and outshines the entertainment industry, is completely out of place at this Internet conference.

That's just a stereotype from netizens.

The beauty brand under Teacher Fan's management has now become one of the top three sellers in the entire online beauty product category.

I even claim to be a mentor to 100,000 online celebrities.

Even after getting intimate, they didn't forget to livestream it to their families; their professionalism was outrageous.

Zhou Yutang leaned against the headboard, watching the woman who had been as languid as a cat just moments before now intently adjusting the angle of the ring light.

The table was quickly filled with various products from her brand, which made me feel a sense of awe.

He stood up, patted her plump buttocks, and glanced at her sideways.

Her eyes, brimming with charm, were enough to make any man's heart flutter. She spoke with a mixture of coquettishness and reproach:
"What do you want to do?"

[P.S.: I'm so frustrated watching the game, I need votes, please give me monthly tickets!]
