China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 807: Starlight Feast, the Great Leader of the Times

Shanghai Theater Academy.

To celebrate the successful rehearsal of the group segment performance assignment, Tian Xiwei and her team members went to a dinner at Haidilao near the school.

Different from ordinary clear-minded college students.

As a freshman in the performance department of an art college, the main focus of freshman year is learning professional skills, including how to voice lines and simple performance presentations.

It is also the age full of youth, and even though I am tired, I feel fulfilled.

Every time I make a little progress, I always feel like I am one step closer to my dream.

When young people get together, most of the things they talk about are entertainment-related, and the topic focuses on Wanda Xiao Wang, who has been in the spotlight recently.
"Wang Xiaocong directly booked an island in the Maldives for his birthday party, and many second-generation rich internet celebrities attended."

"Looking at the circle of friends, it seems that senior Bai from the third year has passed away."

“Rich people really know how to have fun.”

"No matter how rich you are, you are not as rich as Governor Zhou."

"Oh, that's right. Don't forget to grab the red envelopes at the Starlight Awards tonight. One hundred million red envelopes, so generous."

In the hearts of boys, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong is almost a god-like existence.

Tian Xiwei’s best friend Xiao Lu is also her loyal fan.

Tian Xiwei himself didn't quite understand why 100 million yuan was burned every year, but he was also shocked.

One hundred million is not just one hundred yuan. If you have one hundred million, you won’t have to work for the rest of your life.

"By the way, who do you think is better, Hu Bayi or the old professor who showed up at the end?"

"It must be Lao Hu and his group. The tomb-raiding trio is the protagonist."

"That may not be the case. After the Guanshan Taibao, his methods are also very impressive."

"They are not as good as the chain of our ancestor Zhang San..."

Recently, the TV series "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was popular, and then the sequel movie was released, and the box office has reached 1 billion.

The boys in the group suddenly started arguing, while Tian Xiwei, Xiao Lu and other girls started talking about Dilraba Dilmurat.

Xiao Lu, my roommate and best friend, said with envy, "Xiaotian, you are so lucky. Senior Reba came to the drama roadshow the day before yesterday, and I actually got to take a photo with her."

"Haha, I just happened to meet you. Senior Reba is really nice."

Tian Xiwei's face is a little chubby, and when she smiles, there are shallow dimples on both sides of her cheeks.

"Why don't we have such good luck?"

Several girls expressed envy when they talked about it.

Di Lieba is on the star artist track and is now a top-tier actress born in the 1990s and the face of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

As soon as Tian Xiwei posted that photo, she immediately became the prettiest girl in the circle of friends.

"Hey, I heard that Yang Mi will also come to this Starlight Awards."

"Is Tang Yan here?"

“It seems he is here too.”

"No wonder Liu Shishi didn't come."

"But Zhou Yutang seems to have reconciled with Liu Shishi. Last time when Yijie was sick, he rushed back from the overseas crew. A few days ago, someone broke the news that they had dinner together."

College students are always so carefree. After the dinner, they return to the dormitory, take a shower and open Bilibili.

The red carpet show of the Starlight Awards would not begin until the evening, and the tempting advertisement for the new season clothing of Yu Sheng attracted Tian Xiwei and her roommates.

"Zhang Ruolan's top is really beautiful."

"The price is not expensive, only 288."

"I placed the order."

Girls who can afford to attend art schools generally have good personal and family conditions.

Some even go out to do some part-time jobs.

After some joyful shopping, several girls started their sweet ranking game.

……

The red carpet for the Starlight Awards will start at 6pm.

Generally, celebrities come one to two days in advance to prepare their dresses and rehearse.

Zhou Yutang had a meeting to attend in Beijing, and by the time his private plane landed in Haojiang, it was already past 1:30 in the afternoon.

In the Hong Kong and Macao areas, Zhou Yutang is known as the media tycoon of the mainland.

However, despite his fame, he is very low-key.

At this moment in Haojing, there is an entertainment tycoon who acts in a more high-profile manner.

That is the CEO of Moon Entertainment.

He is powerful and wealthy, and is involved in both black and white business. It is said that he has connections with everyone.

He is the "little gambling king" after Mr. He!
Even in the mainland, one can often see news reports about his success.

Either he spends tens of millions to buy diamond rings and mansions for his mistress, or several women compete for his favor, playing a real-life version of The Legend of Zhen Huan.

"The Legend of the Gods", which wanted to bombard the domestic entertainment industry this year but ended up becoming a laughing stock, is a movie produced by Moon Entertainment under President Hua and the Longwu family.

As soon as Zhou Yutang arrived in Haojiang, he felt the hospitality of the CEO of Moon Entertainment.

Ever since he came to Macau to film a few years ago, he has been trying to get close to people relentlessly.

At that time, Zhou Yutang was still young and inexperienced, and he refused to accept the generous price offered privately.

We are not the same kind of people.

Just look at his nickname.

Wash rice and cook.

In recent years, we have also actively expanded into Southeast Asia in an effort to expand and strengthen the gray industry.

Jiangdong is at its peak, so how could Zhou Yutang fall for his tricks?
After answering the phone, Zhou Yutang refused Mr. Hua's invitation to dinner without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hua, I'm a little tight on time today."

"What are Mr. Zhou's plans for next?"

"Mr. He invited me to have tea."

"..."

The person on the other end of the phone fell silent and laughed: "Some other day... let's make an appointment some other day."

No matter how domineering he is.

If you want to make a living in Haojiang, you have to look at the He family's mood.

Zhou Yutang soon stopped taking him seriously.

Now he can be said to be able to hear directly from heaven.

Even the gambling king has to treat him with courtesy, so even if he had eight hundred guts, he would not dare to act rashly.

……

Zhou Yutang has worked on several projects in Haojiang.

For example, in the three films of the "The Thieves" series, casinos were used in filming, and it was Miss He who arranged the venues.

She only charged a symbolic amount of money, but whenever there was any trouble, she helped to deal with it.

These are all human feelings.

We have maintained a good relationship over the past few years, and it is only right and reasonable for me to visit that old senior.

After getting off the plane, he got into the special car arranged by Miss He. Zhou Yutang couldn't help feeling sad when he met the gambling king this time.

I can’t bear to see heroes grow old.

Mr. He is six years older than Zou Wenhuai.

Both Zou Wenhuai and Mr. He were powerful figures of the last era.

After meeting the big guys of the old era, the ship of the new era is heading towards the Grand Lisboa Hotel where we are staying.

This is the He family's property. After Zhou Yutang's itinerary was confirmed, Miss He made the arrangements personally.

As for why I went to the Grand Lisboa Hotel, it was just because of time management.

Before the Starlight Awards began in the evening, Zhou Yutang met Da Mimi and Tang Yan in the suite of the Grand Lisboa Hotel.

Da Mimi and Tang Yan are also fish in the fish pond.

At first, it was just lust because of her beauty, then over time, I fell in love with her, and now it is impossible for me to let go of her.

But Zhou Yutang never thought of restricting Da Mimi and Tang Yan from having a normal relationship and getting married.

Just saying it in advance.

If the fish wants to swim out of the pond while maintaining a relationship with him, then everyone can part ways amicably.

After all.

After all, the positions of the two beauties in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in Aquaman's heart are not as high as those of Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.

However, Da Mimi and Tang Yan held her thighs tightly and refused to let go.

Female celebrities in the entertainment industry seem to have countless fans, but in fact their private social circle is not large.

Especially for career-oriented female celebrities, who spend most of their time at work and have little time for socializing, they have even fewer people to choose from.

According to the law of natural development, the most likely possibility is that Da Mimi and Tang Yan fell in love on the set.

But there is an additional arbitrary Governor Zhou in the internal entertainment.

Whether it is Da Mimi or Tang Yan, this road is almost blocked. In the past two years, the male actors they have worked with are basically all artists from Jiangdong Entertainment.

Take the tool man Kaikai Wang for example. He has acted with Da Mimi and Tang Yan successively, and knows about the ambiguity between Governor Zhou and them.

He was walking on thin ice, keeping his distance at all times, fearing that he would be liquidated by the governor if he stepped into the company building with his left foot.

The team around Da Mimi and Tang Yan also includes Zhou Yutang's people.

The specific situation is crystal clear.

Considering that Tangmi and the other man have reached the age of being as strong as tigers and wolves, Governor Zhou is also very diligent in feeding the fish.

"You guys also sent a fruit basket to Shishi?"

After eating the sugar and tasting the honey, Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

Just last month, Liu Shishi was hospitalized due to illness, and Da Mimi and Tang Yan both sent her fruit baskets and nutritional supplements anonymously.

"There are also bird's nests and ginseng... Please don't think badly of us, okay?"

Da Mimi gave him a reproachful look, gathered her hair behind her head and shook it vigorously.

Tang Yan snorted lightly, and even unreasonably clamped Governor Zhou with her long legs.

Humans are inherently complex animals.

It is true that they stabbed their best friends in the back, but that does not stop them from having good hearts.

Thinking of our old friendship, I don’t want to see Liu Shishi get into trouble…

"It was probably digested by Lao Cai."

"As long as it comes to your mind."

Tang Yan hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and said, "Aren't you walking the red carpet tonight?"

“I don’t walk red carpets.”

……

time flies.

As the amber dusk falls, the red carpet show of the Starlight Awards officially begins.

This year's Jiangdong Starlight Awards was held grandly at the Venetian Macao's Cotai Arena.

A hundred-meter red carpet was laid out at the scene early on.

All the popular celebrities attended the event in their best attire.

Handsome men and beautiful women, shining stars, glittering in Macau, are no less spectacular than those award ceremonies.

There were hundreds of domestic and foreign media outlets, huge crowds of people, and all kinds of cameras and long guns, like a lush bush.

As a friendly team of Jiangdong, A Fei Studio was not absent. Xiao Hu, who was wearing a press card, looked around and asked:

"Brother Fei, isn't the Grand Admiral walking the red carpet today?"

"Mr. Zhou will go directly to the inner field later."

Ah Fei was quite calm and composed, and arranged his work in an orderly manner.

"Zhang Yuqi is too bold. This skirt is so transparent."

"Senior Reba is so beautiful."

"Yang Mi's look today is very queen-like, and Tang Yan is also in good shape."

"Wow, Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi are so beautiful."

"Among the five beauties of Ode to Joy, it seems that only Zeng Li is not here?"

"I haven't seen Zeng Li open for business in a long time. Is she traveling again?"

At 6 o'clock in the evening, after the B station's Starlight Awards officially began, all the girls in Tian Xiwei's dormitory gathered in front of the computer screen.

A few women are performing a show, chattering and it is very lively.

As soon as the red carpet of this Starlight Awards opened, it became a hot topic.

Xiao Lu was browsing Weibo and said with deep emotion: "General Zhou is so generous that the hosts are actually Sister Chen Chen and Teacher He."

One is the number one host of Tomato TV, and the other is the pillar of Mango TV.

Apart from the Starlight Gala organized by Zhou Yutang, it is rare to see these two hosts on the same stage in other occasions.

In fact, the quality of a grand gala can often be seen from the host.

For example, last year's Scream Night organized by Kiwi Entertainment randomly picked a new host to control the event. As a result, there were many speechless and embarrassing scenes, which were directly criticized by netizens and became a hot topic.

Only those experienced hosts know how to control the rhythm without stealing the limelight from famous artists.

While various female stars were competing for beauty, Zhou Yutang and Miss He entered the backstage together.

In this kind of occasion, the seat represents one's status and one cannot just sit anywhere.

There is no doubt that Zhou Yutang and Miss He's seats are in the middle of the first row.

Miss He said with a pleasant face: "Mr. Zhou, you have traveled a long way. Thank you for your hard work."

It's really hard to deal with two fierce and ferocious women.

But Zhou Yutang was still in high spirits and said with a smile: "I would also like to thank Miss He for helping to arrange the venue."

"It's my duty. It's nothing."

Miss He brushed the hair by her ears and smiled softly, "Ni Ni is very capable. She did a great job at this Starlight Awards."

Chen Duling looked curiously at Ms. He, who was graceful and chatty with her boss.

The experience is legendary.

Ms. He, who is regarded as a legendary figure by Chen Duling, was chatting and laughing with Zhou Yutang.

But I didn't have the heart to watch the opening performance of the Starlight Awards on the stage. My mind flashed back to the sunny afternoon.

"Dad, he's gone."

"Well."

In the garden, the old man sat in a wheelchair, basking in the warm sunshine. With his narrowed eyes, he was filled with infinite nostalgia and murmured, "The young are indeed formidable."

Miss He was standing next to the old man.

At this moment, the wind suddenly blew.

The two nurses who were watching over him 24 hours a day suddenly became nervous.
"Sir, you should go back to your room and rest."

"Let's go."

Miss He took the blanket from one of the nurses, considerately covered her father with it, and pushed the wheelchair back herself.

"I used to think that this person was following Zou Wenhuai's old path and wanted to become big in the entertainment industry and enter Hollywood...

Now it seems that I underestimated him.

His ambition goes far beyond this.

Entertainment companies are just the beginning. Artist management, distribution business and other upstream and downstream aspects of the entertainment industry are not the key.

The short video platforms that have been developed now are unstoppable. Do you think the number of downloads abroad has also increased?"

"Yes, Daddy, he has already acquired the Musical.ly platform. Tiktolk is now the most popular video software abroad."

"I'm not even 30 this year... It's hard to imagine what I'll be like in 10 years."

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is he the one who organized the Starlight Awards tonight?"

"Yeah, a lot of celebrities came, it was quite lively."

"You can go and show your support. If there is anything you can do to help, please do so."

Miss He's mind was inexplicably associated with that overly handsome young man.

In a way, these two people have a lot in common.

No wonder there is a feeling of regret that we met too late and a sense of mutual appreciation.

After all, the old man was getting old, and his emotions were a little unstable. After talking a few more words, he started coughing.

"Daddy, are you okay?"

"fine."

The old man patted the back of his daughter's hand and said, "I heard... that you have been in contact with Zhou Yutang?"

"I've contacted him several times, but he still hasn't agreed... I feel like..."

"You don't like it?"

“That’s a little bit of the point.”

"You will be the head of the family from now on. If anyone is restless, you should punish him."

The old man's face, which was covered with the frost of time, showed a warm smile: "As for abandoning a child, you should make a decisive decision when necessary, and don't be soft-hearted..."

"I understand."

Miss He nodded solemnly.

Only she knew how deep the murderous intent was hidden in the old man's gentle voice.

I wonder if it reminds me of the glorious years when I danced on the tide of the times.

The old man occasionally caught a glimpse.

The aura of the great man of the past can still be vaguely seen.
