China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 682: Sweeping the National Day file, the top brother Zhou Yutang

It was just an ordinary wedding banquet.

I heard the news that Meituan and Dianping are about to merge.

Zhou Yutang was surprised.

He had heard Wang Xing mention it before.

But it was just an intention at that time. Now that Shen Nanpeng has put it on the table, the capital game has basically been completed.

Zhou Yutang thought for a moment and raised his glass, saying with a smile, "Congratulations in advance, Mr. Shen."

Based on the current size of Meituan and Dianping, the valuation of the new company will probably not be less than US$150 billion.

As a result, the shares held by Shen Nanpeng's Sequoia Capital are still larger than those of Alibaba and Tencent.

This precocious and successful businessman from Zhejiang Province will become the behind-the-scenes helmsman of this trillion-dollar aircraft carrier.

"Haha, there are still some details to discuss."

Shen Nanpeng is of medium height. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. He has an elegant temperament and a faint smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhou is also a shareholder, so we can have a lot of areas for cooperation in the future."

There's nothing wrong with that.

The venture capital company controlled by Zhou Yutang invested a lot of money in Meituan when it was starting out.

However, they basically do not ask about the specific operations of the company.

This year, Meituan also spent a large sum of money to invite Liu Tianxian to be its spokesperson.

“The respective personnel structures remain unchanged, and their respective brand businesses operate independently.”

"Wang Xin and Zhang Tao both serve as co-CEOs and co-chairmen."

"Why, are you going to have two people in charge?"

Zhou Yutang joked.

"Haha, aren't you Mingjie the two people in charge?"

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed.

Brother Xiao Ma took the initiative to move closer and said, "Mr. Zhou, I wish the Jiangdong team good results in the world finals. I heard that Game Science is working on a domestic 3A game project recently?"

"Boss Ma is really well-informed."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If there is a need for funds, Tencent is very interested in following the investment."

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised: "Feng Ji and his team didn't seem to be very successful with "God of War", so President Ma wants to follow up?"

"I'm not the investment and travel section, I'm the investment director Zhou."

Two bright rays of wisdom were reflected behind the little Ma Ge's glasses. Zhou Yutang smiled and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ma, but I won't use it for the time being."

In the past, people made their fortunes in a low-key manner, but now that Jiangdong has become so big, it is impossible to be low-key even if they want to.

As soon as Jiangdong Entertainment’s film and television project was registered and approved, film and television companies in the industry immediately began to study and follow suit.

The same is true for Xingchen Games. For several consecutive years, it has made huge profits by taking advantage of the trend of Jiangdong's popular film and television IPs, which naturally attracted the attention of the gaming circle.

This also includes Tencent.

This year, the MOBA mobile game "Honor of Kings" strongly promoted by Xingchen has been officially launched on Android and IOS platforms.

It has been soaring on the global mobile game best-selling list.

Chen Min went to Beijing to report on his work a few days ago, and reported that Tencent had prepared two teams and quietly operated two copycat mobile game projects.

One has died, and the other is still alive.

In the invisible places, there was also an extremely brutal and silent battle.

What Xiao Ma Ge meant was that if he couldn't beat them, he wanted to join them, acquire some shares of Star Games, and further strengthen the cooperative relationship.

Zhou Yutang didn't nod for the time being. How could such a good thing happen?

By next year, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be almost released, and by then the valuation of Star Games may increase several times.

Ni Ni is right next to her.

Watching Zhou Yutang chatting and laughing with Shen Nanpeng, Xiao Ma Ge and others.

She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

"Wow, Zhou, this is such a romantic love story."

As the melodious music sounded, old Bob was more excited than when he was getting married himself.

Zhou Yutang also clapped softly: "Who said it wasn't?"

Milk tea wore a long white wedding dress inlaid with countless pearls, which was dazzling and eye-catching.

Brother Dong was also dressed in a white suit, looking very happy.

Ni Ni clapped along, but suddenly a joke on the Internet came to her mind:
As long as you have money, your girlfriend is still in kindergarten.

This is a joke that shines into reality.

Dong Ge and Milk Tea’s love affair across generations has always been controversial.

The two are 19 years apart in age, and Dong Ge is only two years younger than his father-in-law.

My father-in-law didn't come to the scene today, but I don't know why.

The wedding was a success and the dinner was held at the resort hotel.

Guests enjoyed themselves.

It can be seen that Dong Ge was very happy. He hugged Zhou Yutang familiarly and said in a friendly voice:

"Yu Tang, thank you for your hard work. You put down what you were doing and came all the way here."

"I'm just taking a break. When will my sister-in-law give birth?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at Nai Cha's slightly bulging belly.

Dong Ge and Milk Tea broke up this year, and Dong Ge had a heart-to-heart talk with him. Later, Milk Tea made compromises and concessions.

Now they are getting married with a baby, but Dong Ge has made detailed arrangements for the property.

"Probably, next March."

When Dong Ge spoke, he smiled happily and there was light in his eyes.

Come to think of it, if life is so successful, what else can one ask for?

"Brother Dong and Sister Milk Tea got married on National Day, and the domineering president got the beauty!"

"Milk Tea Sister married a super rich man 19 years older than her. It's important for a woman to marry the right one!"

"At the wedding, there were many big shots, Zhou Yutang and Xiao Ma Ge were chatting and laughing!"

As soon as the wedding in Australia was over, the press release was already arranged.

Not only domestic, but also major media abroad reported on it.

After all, Brother Dong is the head of Jingdong, a company with a market value of 400 billion US dollars, so he has some status.

After the wedding.

Zhou Yutang had a private chat with Shen Nanpeng, Xiao Ma Ge and others, so he won’t mention it much.

But he didn't stay long.

The next day he returned home on a private plane.

The battle for the National Day holiday is in full swing.

The Sino-Korean co-production "The Third Way of Love" suffered a heavy blow when it was released and failed to reap the benefits of the National Day holiday.

Because nearly 90% of the screenings were taken up by Lost in Hong Kong and The Black Panthers.

"On the first day of the National Day holiday, at 10pm, in just six and a half days, Lost in Hong Kong's box office in mainland China exceeded billion!"

"Now You See Me 2" grossed 2.32 million yuan in a single day, and the total box office exceeded 10 billion yuan, setting a new record for the fastest box office to reach billion yuan!"

"Guo Fan ascended to the top in one step and entered the billion box office club. The miracle continues!"

After Lost in Hong Kong entered the National Day holiday, the box office rose against the trend, with the single-day box office exceeding 100 million for two consecutive days.

The Magic Thieves, jointly promoted by Jiangdong Group, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda and other forces, have a stronger momentum and have already overtaken their competitors on the second day of the National Day holiday.

By October 2, the box office of "Now You See Me 1.45" once again closed at 15.17 million yuan, and the total box office climbed to billion yuan.

A series of domestic film records were shattered.

The entire Chinese film industry was shaken by this.

"To be fair, Zhou Yutang's box office appeal in today's film and television industry is unmatched.

In order to create a group image, the sequel to The Magic Snipers seems to have reduced Zhou Yutang's presence, the content of Yutang has declined, and some plots cannot stand scrutiny, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits. The overall quality of the movie can be given 80 points, and it is still a qualified commercial blockbuster.

For a new director like Guo Fan, being able to achieve this level of performance deserves a 90 point score.

With such box office results, it is probably the market’s choice.”

A well-known expert in the film and television industry has spoken out.

As the movie becomes popular.

The reputation of Lost in Hong Kong has been declining rapidly, and the reputation of the sequel to The Marauders is also slightly inferior to that of the previous film.

But this year's National Day holiday only has these two blockbuster films competing with each other.

If the audience were allowed to choose, most would still choose the Magic Thieves.

After all, the bald guy named Bao and Baoqiang's box office appeal are not at the same level.

Zhou Yutang's stunning magic show in the rain has become a hot topic on social media thanks to publicity and marketing.

Many viewers went to the cinema for this reason, and some even read various details online and went to watch the movie a second or third time.

Moreover, compared to Lost in Hong Kong which relied on Xu Guangtou to carry out the promotion alone, the roadshow creators of The Thieves are truly luxurious.

Right now, "Nirvana in Fire" is still on the air, and Jiang Zuo Meilang personally appeared on the promotional roadshow, which has generated huge popularity.

Deng Chao has no idol baggage and is particularly good at creating an atmosphere. He interacts with the audience during the roadshow and often shows off.

Nazha's face is still there, and her beauty alone makes the headlines
This year's League of Legends S5 World Finals kicked off in Paris, France.

Pony Ma talked about this at the wedding. Tencent took action as early as 11 and spent 4 million US dollars to acquire 93% of Riot Games' shares.

This year, it went all out and swallowed up the entire Riot Games.

Today, Riot Games is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent, but in terms of operations, it is still fully responsible and operated independently by the original founder and management team.

The plan that Xiao Ma Ge painted for Zhou Yutang included a plan to allocate Riot's official resources to support the Jiangdong team.

Zhou Yutang also paid attention to the performance of his own team.

strictly speaking.

Somewhat disappointing.

Last year, the dynasty was only halfway established when it collapsed. Unfortunately, they lost to the Samsung team and lost the chance to defend the title.

This year, the Jiangdong team underwent a major change.

After the top laner and jungler left the team, the support also retired and became an assistant coach.

The current mid laner is still Faker.

The Ad player is still UZI.

The support is the newcomer Meiko.

The top laner is the talented rookie Flandre.

It's interesting to say that this kid was originally a national server king, and later joined the private team of B station anchor Dong Xiaosa to participate in the anchor network competition held by the live broadcast platform. As a result, he unexpectedly broke through all the lanes, made a big splash, and successfully won the championship.

Because of his obvious talent, Flandre was signed by Jiangdong along with the support player of Dong Xiaosa's team.

As for Jiangdong’s jungler this year, it is the South Korean player Peanut.

This is also a talented newcomer discovered by the coaching staff.

The current lineup has been working together for a season and finally entered the global finals as the No. 2 seed.

The entire e-sports circle is also in turmoil.

Last season's champion Samsung team was directly hollowed out.

Wanda Xiaowang used his money power and IG signed the star player Rouji and jungler Kakao from the Samsung team.

Another wealthy team, EDG, is the son of the chairman of Hopson Development Group. It also spent a huge amount of money to sign another star player, Pawn, from Samsung.

As for last year's Samsung champion AD Rat King imp, he was signed by China's veteran e-sports team LGD.

He formed a twin star with Gao Dewei, swept the LPL and won the summer championship.

"This year is the most promising year for the LPL."

Zhou Yutang occasionally visits Bilibili to watch live broadcasts. During a roadshow a few days ago, he accidentally clicked into the live broadcast room of this year's champion mid laner Gao Dewei, and saw him playing the newly launched Langya Bang web game live.

"Oh my, this Langya Bang B web game is really fun. I tell you, I am the strongest player in the server!"

The fat guy seemed to have recharged a lot of money. Some viewers in the live broadcast room recognized Zhou Yutang's ID and swiped the screen frantically. Gao Dewei was very excited and said something outrageous on the spot:

"Oh my god, the Grand Commander is here too. I heard that he also likes playing games. This year's champion will be rewarded with skins. Whatever hero skin you want, I'll choose it then."

mad!
This little fat guy can create live broadcast effects.

Zhou Yutang ignored his inflated speech and immediately switched to Zhou Erke's live broadcast room. He found it pleasant to listen to and casually swiped a hundred spaceships.

This is the most valuable gift currently offered by Bilibili Live, priced at 1000 yuan each.

Zhou Erke, who was singing her famous song "Walking in the Cold Wind", was almost crying with excitement and expressed her gratitude to her top brother.

Then, the news that Zhou Yutang gave a reward to a female anchor became a hot topic on the same day.

"Brother, don't be fooled."

Nazha felt a little sour when she saw the news, and she revealed indignantly:

"This kind of female anchor only looks good in the video, but actually uses a beauty camera. She must be ugly in real life, and she is also an A-rated girl."

This makes sense.

Turn on the beauty filter.

Everyone is Yu Tang and Yi Fei.

If these so-called good-looking anchors were to appear on camera offline, seven out of ten of them would fail in the spotlight.

Because they have to be on camera, all the flaws in their heads, faces and bodies will be magnified.

In this respect, most internet celebrities definitely cannot compare with celebrity artists.

Nazha has fought her way out of the involution of the domestic entertainment industry with her good looks.

Now recognized as the beauty of the 90s, her face is as good as her country.

But she said that people were a bit unreasonable towards A.

Zhou Yutang, who returned to the roadshow team, looked at Nazha's dumplings again and was a little surprised.

I feel even more relieved.

All the hard work she put in was not in vain, Nazha is showing signs of secondary development.

Although not big.

But at least the children won't have to go hungry anymore...

The National Day holiday is over.

In the Chinese film market, apart from "The Martian" and "Lost in Hong Kong", Tom Cruise and the Minions were easily sent away.

The Sino-Korean co-production blockbuster with Sister Lianhua and Song Seung-heon only reported a total box office of 6720 million, and was directly buried in the ground.

"Now You See Me 2" was released 11 days ago, and the total box office revenue has reached 18.73 billion yuan. The billion box office revenue is just around the corner!"

"The cumulative box office of Lost in Hong Kong was 14.86 billion, and the single-day box office fell to over million. Its potential is about to run out."

This fierce battle between dragons and tigers has finally come to an end, and the next imported blockbusters "Ant-Man" and "007: Spectre" are ready to take over.

However, La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun appeared in public several times, smiling harder than AK, and even the hotel for the celebration banquet had been booked in advance.

“Thanks to Mr. Zhou, before the filming started, I didn’t expect it to achieve such box office results. For a new director, I have gained a lot.

I would also like to thank my family and friends who have always supported me, including the fans who came to the cinema and the audience who gave me constructive suggestions.
Finally, I want to say to everyone that the road ahead is long, but there is still a lot of time to go.

The story of the magic thief has not ended yet, and I will continue to work hard to bring more exciting movies to the audience [fist bow]."

Guo Fan, who reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted, was a little emotional. He posted a long article on Weibo, briefly describing his mental journey while filming this movie.

She was still actively interacting with fans and accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

The next movie may be science fiction.

“Holy crap!? Could it be that The Three-Body Problem is coming!?”

"It's possible. The copyrights of Liu's novels are all in Jiangdong's hands. It all depends on the Grand Commander's opinion."

"I have written in blood that the Grand Commander will invest in the filming of The Three-Body Problem and I will contribute to the box office!"

"+1!"

"+10086!"

Netizens were very excited and various media outlets were reporting on the incident.

This year, Liu Cixin made a big splash abroad and won the Hugo Award.

Since then, Chinese science fiction has entered everyone's field of vision, and many netizens have gone to Zhou Yutang's Weibo to leave comments.

"This colander."

On the way to Huang Xiaoming's wedding, Zhou Yu shook his head and laughed: "Why did you spoil the plot?"

In fact, a few years ago, he had formulated the development route for the entire Jiangdong Film and Television.

Various types of film and television are flourishing, and active layout is being made to promote China's heavy industry commercial blockbusters.

It’s just that the conditions were not ripe at that time, so we could only accumulate strength silently. Now that everything is ready, it is natural to start preparing for the project.

The National Day holiday is over, Deng Chao, Hu Ge and others are still continuing their roadshow, but Zhou Yutang's roadshow schedule was announced to end early.

Many media reporters couldn't find anyone even if they wanted to interview them.

A Fei, a reporter from Shandong Province, met Zhou Yutang at the airport and asked him about this matter a little excitedly:

"Mr. Zhou, is what Director Guo revealed on Weibo true? Is Jiangdong going to invest in The Three-Body Problem?"

"Several projects, including The Three-Body Problem, have been filed and approved, but which one to shoot first still needs to be evaluated."

Guo Fan leaked the news in advance, and Zhou Yutang saw an acquaintance he liked, so he simply gave him some information:

“I can’t say too much about other things yet, but Guo Fan has been confirmed to be the director. We expect to have more information in the first half of next year. Please keep an eye on the official website for information then.”

Among Jiangdong's senior executives, several initially had complaints about Guo Fan taking charge of such a large film and television project right away.

It was still Zhou Yutang who made the final decision and appointed his generals.

After seeing the amazing box office returns of "Now You See Me 2", all those skeptical voices disappeared.

Only the voices of praise remained.

He praised Zhou Yutang for his "keen eyes and divine vision" and praised Guo Fan for his "late bloomer and extraordinary talent."

Playing is real.

Ah Fei received the explosive news and was so excited that his hands were shaking. He was still eager for more and continued to ask:
"Then can you please tell me about the casting progress for your next film and television project, "The Lonely and Great God"?"

"For this drama, it will be finalized this month at the latest."

Life has been pretty good lately, with many of my friends and relatives getting married.

Apart from Dong Ge, Huang Xiaoming's wedding can be said to be a major event in the entertainment industry.

This guy is well-known for his connections. From the bosses of film and television companies to various behind-the-scenes personnel in the circle, they all come to support him.

Dior creative director Raf Simons personally designed the Western-style wedding dress and had craftsmen spend thousands of hours making it, making Qin Lan radiant and stunning.

The B station live broadcast platform broadcast the entire wedding from all angles and received a lot of attention.

On the wedding day, it almost dominated the headlines of major entertainment portals.

Zhou Yutang lent his private plane to Huang Xiaoming to pick up his bride back to his hometown, which was also a good thing at the time.

Lin Liang has been so worried lately that his hair has been falling out in clumps.

As an old minister of Jiangdong who had served the emperor well, his status might not be as high as Li Shuang's.

But in the entire Jiangdong system, it undoubtedly occupies an extremely important position.

The chief casting director appointed by the Grand Governor.

No matter who is chosen for Zhou Yutang's plays, he has to decide on the right actors.

This "The Lonely and Great God" is no exception.

The big boss has a lot of things to do every day and he also has to manage his time, so he has to become a hands-off boss.

Lin Liang was able to understand the hard work of the big boss and took on the early preparation work for the drama.

The supporting roles are okay, they are all talented actors.

The problem lies with the heroine of this S-level drama.

It is a magical resource that actresses in the circle are scrambling for.

There were constant attacks from both sides, and a bloody storm.

Today, a popular actress came out of a secret audition in Jiangdong, and the next moment her rivals started releasing negative news.

There is a professional term for this in the entertainment industry called "explosion-proof".

That is to say, use unconventional means to prevent the opponent from suddenly becoming popular.

There were several actresses with good conditions and promising prospects, but they were brought down because of scandals exposed at critical moments.

For such a big project, Lin Liang would not take the risk of using problematic artists.

The beauties around Zhou Yutang were also secretly trying to find out the news.

Even though Liu Tianxian and Yijie didn't care on the surface, they both came to see Lin Liang privately.

"Mi Mi/Tang Tang/Bin Bin/Yuan Yuan, I am just running errands for the boss. This condition was set by Mr. Zhou, and he has the final say on who will be hired. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

Lin Liang repeated similar words many times, and then turned around and gave Zhou Yutang a detailed report.

He could understand those women's thoughts, probably because they were worried about arousing Zhou Yutang's disgust, but Lin Liang knew better who paid him.

"Don't worry about them, select them according to the conditions, and communicate more with Teacher Yu and Director Lin."

Zhou Yutang’s reply was concise and to the point.

He only looks at the shortlist after screening.

In the middle, a film called "Unbreakable Love Letter" cut in. After Lin Liang followed up on the project, he continued with the auditions.

You want to break the atmosphere of the little white flower, right?
China is so big and there are so many beautiful women that there is always one that can satisfy your boss.

ps: No one should be able to guess this heroine
