China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 819: Strong Ban, "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" Explodes into Popularity

Lao Mouzi can be called the king of the industry.

Zhou Yutang is even worse than that.

Regarding Zeng Li’s pregnancy, we must make a follow-up plan.

With his current energy, it would not be difficult for him to take care of all aspects.

After two days of tenderness in Jingzhou, Zhou Yutang flew straight to the capital as there was a meeting to be held at the Navy Department.

"La La Land," which was originally expected to be a hot Oscar favorite, unexpectedly suffered a surprise defeat at the American Cinematographers Guild Awards, losing to "The Long Way Home."

Zhou Yutang didn't care about the appetizer before the Oscars.

Anyway, this is destined to be a successful project, it’s just a matter of how much profit you can make.

Before Bob Deng led his team to Beijing, Da Mimi's "Eternal Love" was broadcast on Mango TV.

Mango TV intends to make a good start in the new year and has invested a lot of publicity resources in this fantasy drama.

In addition, with the support of Jiangdong's large entertainment ecosystem, such as Bilibili and Douyin, the homepage of the app will push advertisements as soon as you open it.

Including some variety shows that were recorded in advance, news about the two top female stars, Da Mimi and Reba, were flooding the screen.

"The cool night turns my thoughts of you into a river, and turns into spring mud to protect me."

"The fleeting years brush against the lover's sleeves, and the fragrance flows into the water"

Before the TV series was aired, a new song called "Liangliang" suddenly became popular on Douyin along with the TV series trailer.

It topped all major domestic music charts with an overwhelming momentum.

This is the ending song of the TV series "Eternal Love", written by Liu Chang, composed by Tan Xuan, arranged by Wei Guoyun, and sung by Da Mimi and Yang Zongwei.

"Are you kidding? Big Mimi can sing?"

"Village Internet? Haven't you heard of "The Offering of Love"?"

"Haha, Sister Mi saved countless vegetative patients back then, her merits are immeasurable."

"You know what, Da Mimi's singing is really nice."

"Yang Zongwei is so strong that he can even carry Da Mimi."

“Ahhh, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms is so good, I highly recommend it!”

The resurrection of the memories of "Love Offering", which had been dead for several years, stunned countless netizens.

Facts have proved that as long as there is a recording studio, even Da Mimi can be called a queen of singing.

Of course, the most important thing is the clothing design, which was managed by the behind-the-scenes team of Jiangdong Entertainment and was well received.

In the trailer, Da Mimi's Bai Qian, Kai Kai's Ye Hua, and even Reba and Chen Yao are all exquisite.

The stills released in the early stage were captured by countless people and used as wallpapers.

After the TV series was broadcast, both the scene props and the action special effects were magnificent and gave people a visual impact.

"Congratulations Sister Mi!"

"I wish Sister Mi's ratings will reach new heights!"

The first shot of the new year was a blast, and the crew of "Negotiator" sent their congratulations one after another.

The average viewership on the first day was as high as 1.98%. Within 12 hours of its release, the number of views on both platforms reached 6 million.

We are all insiders and we know very well what this data means. It is definitely an unstoppable explosion.

"Thanks to everyone for your hard work during this time."

Da Mimi was still wearing an OL suit, with the capable charm of an urban beauty. After greeting everyone, she turned around and said, "Director Liu, I need to take a few days off."

"Ah, okay."

Director Liu Yizi sighed, feeling quite helpless.

The biggest selling point of "Negotiator" is Yang Mi, and most of the scenes revolve around her.

In order to catch up with the progress, everyone even spent New Year's Eve on the set.

Now that Da Mimi has asked for leave, we can only readjust the production schedule.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" also relies on her to support its traffic.

"When can we finish shooting here?"

"If everything goes well, the Shanghai scenes will be almost finished in two weeks, and then we will switch to America for filming."

"The Oscars are at the end of the month, right?"

Yang Mi said thoughtfully.

"Ok?"

Liu Yizi glanced at Da Mimi.

How many dishes?

This is a TV show that makes money, and you still want to go to the Oscars?
Of course, I can only say this in my heart and definitely not in front of Yang Mi.

This respect must be shown to Mr. Mi, the one who gives out money.

"Boss, 'Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' is really popular."

Chen Duling came in with a stack of audience ratings reports in her hand. Zhou Yutang sank deeply into the sofa chair and casually placed his legs on the leather footstool.

He took the report and took a look at it, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Bilibili did online distribution, and Youku obtained the online broadcasting rights.

It has only been online for 48 hours and the number of views across the entire network has exceeded one billion, and the number of views is still increasing rapidly.

The success of "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" at the beginning of the year undoubtedly gave Jiangdong Entertainment a shot in the arm and boosted morale.

Mango TV is going to set off fireworks to celebrate, and the subsequent follow-up broadcast has been agreed upon and will be held on Jiangsu TV and Blueberry TV.

The first-tier satellite TV stations are the ones that take over, and other TV stations don’t even have a chance to get in.

It’s the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and work in China has not resumed yet.

A piece of news came from the other side of the ocean, which caused a slight shock to the domestic entertainment industry.

The Long Island Police Department in America announced that a driver was stopped and searched late at night.

Contraband was found and Zhou and another man in the car were arrested on the spot.

Needless to say, Zhou's reputation in China has long been as notorious as a rat crossing the street.

After his arrest, many netizens spread the news, which made people very happy.

Unfortunately, this is a capitalist society.

Money can make the mill push the devil.

Blueberry TV spent a huge amount of money to recruit him.

Even though the show later failed, Zhou was still at the forefront and making a lot of money.

Not to mention becoming a rich man, achieving financial freedom in this life will not be a problem.

He had just been in prison for one day, and after paying bail, he was quickly released with the help of a lawyer.

“If one lacks personal morality, one harms only oneself, not society; if one lacks public morality, one harms only society, not oneself.

Those who possess both personal and public morality are saints.

I am not a saint, so I am not without faults. I am sorry for disturbing everyone’s New Year celebrations and accidentally stealing the spotlight from the Eagle Sauce’s Great Leader and “Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms”. I would like to express my deepest apologies.”

The public relations team was very quick and immediately published an article on Weibo in China.

He showed an attitude of admitting his mistake and even joked that he had stolen the top spot on the hot search list for "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

The PR team is making their calculations, thinking that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. As long as they play dead and dodge the attack, they can make a lot of money in the future.

However, netizens had no intention of letting him go and launched a fierce attack on his social media platform.

How can a guy who beats his father-in-law, leaving him half blind, and then abandons his wife be a good person?

Not long after he posted this Weibo, his account was banned.

"boss."

Chen Duling asked cautiously: "Does he have a grudge against you?"

After returning to work, she was still a little uncomfortable not seeing Ni Ni.

After the new year, Ni Ni was officially parachuted into Xiaohongshu as a senior executive, and also applied for an MBA at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

After all, a good blacksmith must have strong skills. Zhou Yutang provided a platform, but Ni Ni had no relevant professional or management experience.

If you want to secure a senior position, you still need to have basic professional capabilities.

So she was too busy with her tasks and naturally had no time to take care of Zhou Yutang's schedule.

Currently, the business of Zhou Yutang's assistant team is basically under the transitional supervision of another old man from Jiangdong named Chen Ning.

Chen Duling was responsible for helping her.

Chen Duling had not been following Zhou Yutang for a long time, and she seemed to have seen Zhou teasing about Zhou Yutang's scandals before.

The few phone calls Chen Ning just made were to handle Zhou's affairs.

Chen Duling couldn't help but think that this was a revenge plot instigated by Governor Zhou.

"It's better to get rid of it. Out of sight, out of mind."

Zhou Yutang only said this lightly, but Chen Duling felt a sense of murderous aura.

Apologize?

An apology is not enough.

This is to directly nail him as a bad artist and make him unable to make a comeback.

Normally Zhou Yutang treats people around him in a gentle manner, which makes it easy for people to ignore him. Only at this time did he occasionally show his true colors, and Chen Duling noticed it.

It turns out that my boss really holds the power of life and death.

As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, it is too easy for him to suppress anyone he wants.

The Jiangdong Group’s multi-channel ban is just the beginning.

Then Blueberry TV quickly stepped down and sued Zhou.

Because his contract with Blueberry TV has not yet ended.

During the contract period, BlueBerry TV suffered economic losses due to the negative impact on its own image.

When it comes to flour, he is a bad artist. No matter how much he eats, he will have to spit it out when the time comes. These are all later stories, so I won't go into details.

This year's Spring Festival movie collection has broken last year's Spring Festival box office record for several consecutive days.

But there is no blockbuster like "The Mermaid".

"Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back", which Mr. Wang boasted would hit a box office of 30 billion or even higher, crashed midway before it really took off.

"It's a bad movie with good intentions. Xu Ke's special effects are amazing. Can Stephen Chow star in it himself?"

"The acting skills of Ke Ke are really unbearable to watch. Can you learn from Ren Lu Han and develop your professional skills?"

"He's a top star, how can he have time to learn acting?"

"Lu Han is also a top star. It seems that Governor Zhou is really the conscience of the industry. When Lu Han returned to China, he really studied basic acting skills for a year before starting to act."

"I'm so disappointed, Mr. Xing, I don't owe you any box office revenue anymore."

The combination of genius director Xu Ke and domestic film box office record holder Zhou Xingxing, these two great directors, is undoubtedly the most anticipated by movie fans.

However, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

After the box office exceeded 5 billion in 10 days, its single-day box office was surpassed by "Kung Fu Yoga".

Last year, Stephen Chow’s sentimental marketing was a success, and this year Jackie Chan followed suit, raking in 6 million in 8.74 days.

The two were at odds with each other, with "Sisters Who Make Waves" making a fortune quietly and breaking through the 4 million threshold.

The lineup of Han Han + Zhang Ruojun + Deng Chao + Li Xin is also guaranteed to generate certain topics and traffic.

There is some distance between him and his elder brother, but he is also quite stable.

On the contrary, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2", which had a very powerful opening, did not gain momentum.

After six days of release, the film grossed 5.6 million yuan. However, after the box office revenue accumulated from the early publicity and promotion was realized, word of mouth declined and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The single-day box office dropped to less than 40 million, and was even overtaken by "Boonie Bears: Fantasy Space", which was really surprising.

There is a lot of controversy, including in the film and television media.

Unexpectedly, Bao Qie was open-minded and took the initiative to say: "This is my first time making a movie, so there are many shortcomings. I accept everyone's opinions and criticisms.

But for me, it was an experience from which I learned a lot.

Yu Tang said that I still have a lot of room for improvement.

I will continue to move forward and become a better director. I believe hard work can change everything!"

Wang Baoqi is such a person, he has his own ideas in his heart.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiangdong Entertainment announced a major news.

"Supervised by Zhou Yutang, co-produced by Dongwu Pictures, China National Navy, Wanda, and Shanghai Film Group, co-directed by Lin Chaoxian and Lu Yang, and co-starred by Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Zhang Hanyu, Li Jian, Reyiza, Xing Jiadong, etc., the film Operation Red Sea will officially start shooting in March!"

With the success of "Tiger Mountain" and "Mekong River", "Operation Red Sea" has attracted attention from all parties since its launch.

Now that the cast has been announced, it’s like a bombshell that will blow up the entire industry.

For actors, participating in a military group drama is also a kind of official recognition.

On the TV screen, the popularity of "Eternal Love" has completely risen.

After four days of broadcast, the average viewership remained stable at over 2%, making it a sure hit at the start of the year.

As the TV series becomes popular, the hot searches on Weibo have dominated the screen for days.

Da Mimi, who is at the peak of her charm, plays the most beautiful woman in the world.

The seal of certification from Governor Zhou is indeed very convincing.

The momentum is so strong that it is catching up with the two Lius.

As for Reba’s nine-tailed red fox, it is equally soft and cute.

King Kaikai’s ancient costume looks like an ascetic male god, and he has attracted many fans.

A hit TV series brought in huge traffic, and even Gao Weiguang and Chen Yao, who were brought into the crew by Da Mimi, benefited from it.

Of course, they may make a small profit, but the bulk of the profits still go into the pocket of Zhou Yutang, who manages the entire project.

According to incomplete statistics from film and television companies in the industry.

Not to mention the increase in membership of Bilibili, the video platform's patch and embedded advertisements alone have reached 2 million per piece, and the advertising revenue alone is guaranteed to exceed million.

This is not over yet.

Jiangdong’s approach to IP development is now quite mature.

With the hit TV series paving the way, derivative products of "Eternal Love" are also being launched simultaneously.

This includes the web game of the same name from Xingchen Games, as well as IP licensing to more than 50 brands in clothing, beauty, food and beverages, home furnishings, etc., and the number is still growing.

The hot sales of investment and advertising also made the senior executives of Alibaba Pictures jealous.

It's like being excited like a chicken with blood.

Even TV dramas are like this.

When the movie is released, won’t it be ready to take off by standing on the shoulders of giants?
The movie is expected to be released in the summer, but that doesn't prevent Alibaba from taking advantage of the current popularity of the TV series and doing marketing work.

However, at this moment, Big Honey is in the limelight, and the bees are holding their heads high.

Seeing Ali using Yang Mi to carry the sedan chair for the heroine Tianbao in the movie version, they immediately swarmed over and shouted slogans with unlimited arrogance:

"There will be no Bai Qian after Yang Mi!"

"Tsk, Da Mimi and Tianbao are also fake sisters?"

Zhou Yutang also found it a bit funny when he saw the quarrel between the two fans.

Just before the Starlight Awards before the New Year, Da Mimi and Tianbao posted a beautiful photo on Weibo.

They were just like good wild friends, and the fans of both groups were having a great time.

Now the TV series started off with a bang, and the situation immediately broke out at the speed of light, blocking Tianbao's retreat.

In the entertainment industry.

When interests are involved, how can there be any friendship?

Many times, even the celebrities themselves may not want to quarrel.

But the entire interest group around us.

It will definitely add fuel to the fire.
