China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 863: Seeing the building rise, and seeing it collapse

Liu Yifei, who had just returned to Beijing, accompanied Zhou Yutang to attend the charity concert held at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center.

This year, the Jiangdong Charity Foundation reached a cooperation with Special Olympics International.

We then collaborated with Mingjie Company to hold a charity concert.

The purpose is to create conditions for the disabled groups in China to participate in Olympic-style sports training and competitions.

All proceeds from the concert after deducting costs will be donated directly to a special fund jointly established by Jiangdong Entertainment Charity Foundation and the International Special Olympics.

"Fuck, the Grand Admiral is at the scene!?"

"The person wearing a mask next to him is Liu Tianxian. It's him. It must be him."

"Here is the picture. JPG!"

“I envy the brothers who are here.”

There were about 4,000 spectators at the concert.

Some netizens who were at the scene also posted photos of Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei.

With the momentum of the huge hit "Snow", this pair of god-like CP has now come down to earth and their popularity can be said to be invincible.

"Mr. Zhou Yutang is a very influential figure worldwide, and 530 million Special Olympics athletes around the world will thank him for his kindness.

Let us work together to promote the whole society to build an atmosphere of acceptance, equality and respect for people with intellectual disabilities."

Tim Shriver, president of Special Olympics International, first spoke in bird language.

Then, Gu Shuhang, President of East Asia, came on stage and repeated it in Chinese.

When Zhou Yutang appeared on the stage, the atmosphere exploded and almost blew the dome off.

"Wow!"

Tim seemed to have not expected Zhou Yutang to be so popular, and his mouth opened into an O shape.

The live broadcast rooms of Bilibili and Weibo were also bustling with activity.

In a short period of time, the population soared from more than 150 million to more than 800 million.

And the number is still continuing to rise.

Tonight's concert is also a team-building event for Miss Liu's best friends.

Jane Zhang and Yao Beina are both guest performers at tonight's concert.

The two of them had just sent the message and were now backstage putting on makeup and getting ready to perform on stage.

"Sister Xun, congratulations, you're the global ambassador."

Liu Yifei, wearing a spaghetti-strap long dress with floral patterns, brushed her hair by her ears and smiled as she congratulated Mr. Zhou.

Just now, Mr. Zhou received the appointment letter as the global ambassador of the International Special Olympics from Zhou Yutang and Tim.

The title of International Special Olympics Ambassador is quite valuable.

Yao Ming and Li Na of China are image ambassadors.

"Congratulations to me for what?"

Mr. Zhou was wearing a white women's suit tonight, and he smiled aggressively, "I should congratulate you. "Snow" is so popular now."

Miss Xiao Liu adopted dozens of stray cats.

Mr. Zhou is also keen on charity.

In recent years, she has used her influence to speak up for special children almost every year.

Mr. Zhou is also one of the organizers of today's charity concert.

"That's also Xiao Zhou's credit."

Liu Yifei raised her chin towards someone, looking a little proud.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's all thanks to your Xiao Zhou."

Young Master Zhou rubbed his arms and shook his head repeatedly: "I really can't stand you young people, you are so corny."

On the surface, she gives the impression of a delicate and frail girl from the south of the Yangtze River, but in fact, she is a bit boyish, especially her voice, which is quite distinctive.

“Is the sequel about to start filming?”

"We just had a meeting a few days ago, and Xiao Zhou even asked the master to calculate the date."

Liu Yifei sighed: "This time it might be a two-season shoot. I was planning to travel abroad."

"In the sequel, you're going to be the Queen of Western Chu?"

Mr. Zhou said excitedly: "The makeup photo you sent me last time was quite exciting."

“There are a lot of scenes in the second season.”

Liu Yifei nodded: "But I'm a little unsure, Sister Xun, can you help me analyze it."

When Zhou Xun and Zhou Yutang founded Shanxia School together, Mr. Zhou himself was a visiting professor.

Liu Yifei and Princess Tian were both among the first batch of students at Shanxia School.

Miss Liu gets along very well with Mr. Zhou, and often discusses acting with her privately, asking her for advice.

"I've read the original novel."

Master Zhou said disapprovingly: "What's so difficult about this? You can do this or that."

Liu Yifei tilted her head: “?”

Zhou Xun is the most typical talented contestant, and her acting depends entirely on her aura.

From her perspective, it did provide Liu Yifei with some ideas.

The atmosphere of the charity concert was quite lively. In addition to Mingjie's Xu Song, Li Ronghao and other big names, Lu Han and Wang Jiaer also took the stage to sing.

After it was over, Master Zhou used the fairy to control Governor Zhou and arranged a private dinner party.

During the meal, the topic of the film "Time Raiders" by Jiang Dong family came up.

In fact, Su Lun was not very famous, but he was chosen by the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, and many people were interested in him, including those big stars.

"Boss Zhou, do you think I have a chance?"

"Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Zhou Xun's straightforward answer left Zhou Yutang a little speechless.

Mr. Fan tasted the sweetness of the "Beijing Meets Seattle" series and wanted to take over, so Mr. Zhou also came to join in the fun.

"Anyway, I have a hostage in my hand, so you think about it."

Young Master Zhou acted like a bandit. Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth and laughed secretly. He raised his elbow and hit her rudely.

"Hiss, Sissi, you beat down my big bear."

Master Zhou crossed his arms over his chest and took a deep breath.

Zhou Yutang held his forehead with his hand, he simply couldn't bear to watch.

Can you call that a big bear?

It can't be said to be mediocre, but it can also be said to be a sure thing.

"Sister Xun, I'll give you one chance to say it again."

"I'm asking your Xiao Zhou to do something for me."

"Is there anyone who would beg you for help like this?"

That was really unreasonable and infuriating. Zhou Yutang was amused by it: "To be honest, this role is not suitable for you. It has almost been decided."

"Who?"

Liu Yifei was also a little curious.

"Tiantian."

"Oh, that's okay."

Mr. Zhou nodded suddenly.

She knew a little about the Sweet Princess's background.

She gave flowers to someone when she was a child, and now when she debuted she had the governor write her song for her and even wore overalls to shoot a MV.

It’s not shameful to lose to this sister.

Mr. Zhou just mentioned it in passing and didn't take it to heart.

As they were talking about this year's art exam results, Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered something else and asked leisurely, "What's the matter with you snatching someone from Jiang Dong?"

Dongsheng Entertainment, which was jointly opened by Mr. Zhou and the beauty from Xichang, has also been recruiting recently.

Zhou Shufang recently reported on her work. There was a little flower in the Jiangdong database, but it was snatched away by the Dongsheng Entertainment agency department.

It has always been Jiangdong Entertainment that has cut into his company, this has never happened before.

Because Mr. Zhou has an ambiguous relationship with her boss, Zhou Shufang comes here specifically to test the waters.

"Wow, Boss Zhou, your business is so big, and Bilibili is about to go public, and you still care about artist management?"

Mr. Zhou's voice softened:
"I feel like I have a connection with this little girl, so I plan to take good care of her. At worst, I'll ask my Sissi to pay with her body, and come and beg for mercy on my behalf."

"I'll pay you back."

"I don't want him to pay me back, just talk nicely and don't hit me!"

In front of her acquaintances, Liu Yifei was very relaxed and started fighting again.

Mr. Zhou was just talking tough, but he was no match for Liu Yifei, who had received martial arts training in advance to join the group.

Looking at the two girls making a fuss, Zhou Yutang just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

The income of the artist management department accounts for a relatively small proportion of Jiangdong Entertainment’s overall revenue.

Lu Han, Nazha, Reba and other popular top stars are all making a lot of money. Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Ye from the 95flower team are in the queue.

Top-level resources are limited, and even our own artists cannot share them.

Other new and emerging stars will have even less chance of getting on the table.

"Sister Xun, who can make you think so highly of him?"

"Let me show you, this girl really has a good foundation."

Zhou Xun turned on his phone and showed it to Liu Yifei.

"I feel a bit like Zhou Ye."

"Now that you mention it, they are somewhat similar."

Mr. Zhou was also stunned, and he took out Zhou Ye's photo to compare. At this time, Zhou Ye had already played Zhang Songwen's eldest daughter in "The Accidental Murder".

She is also Kim Shin’s sister in “The Lonely and Great God”.

The most amazing scene was the one where she died tragically in a palace dress, which earned her some fame.

The person Mr. Zhou was talking about was Zhang Jingyi, who looked about 60% similar to Zhou Ye.

But upon closer inspection, there are some differences.

Zhou Ye's eyebrows, eyes and bones convey a sense of coldness and aloofness as sharp as a knife.

Zhang Jingyi has soft and dull facial features, as gentle as satin, giving her the feeling of a heroine in a youth pain literature.

The big stars of the same generation as Zhou Gongzi gradually retreated behind the scenes.

Mr. Zhou, who has failed in love, is full of energy and is ready to use his energy and resources to train new people.

After the dinner, Zhou Yutang sent Liu Yifei to her car and they went home.

I had just arrived home and was hugging Tianxian intimately when I received a call from Mr. Zhou.

Cultivating immortals and seeking the truth are major matters in life. Zhou Yutang didn't want to bother with it and even turned off his mobile phone.

But Master Zhou persevered.

Seeing that the call couldn't go through, he turned around and called Liu Yifei repeatedly.

Although Xiao Liu was in a state of confusion and love, she still retained her last bit of rationality.

Her crystal white ears were stained with an intoxicating red glow, and she reached out to answer the phone:
"Um, Miss Xun?"

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Xun muttered, "Why does the sound sound so strange?"

“I’m running.”

"I'm really impressed by you young people. You start exercising right after you get home."

Zhou Xun didn't care and continued, "Where's Boss Zhou?"

"I'm taking a shower."

"Then ask Boss Zhou to answer the phone later. I forgot to tell him something urgent and only remembered it when I got home."

"Then I'll call him."

The annoying voice had a hint of coquettishness, and Liu Yifei pushed Zhou Yutang away without much strength.

"Xiao Zhou, don't move. Sister Xun must have something urgent to tell you."

After tidying up her slightly messy skirt and waiting for about three or four minutes, Zhou Yutang slowly answered the phone.

"Boss Zhou, do you know what's going on with LeTV?"

"I'm not a LeEco shareholder, why are you asking me?"

Zhou Yutang was a little angry as his spell was interrupted by Mr. Zhou's smoky voice. He took the water handed to him by Liu Yifei and took a sip.

"Brother, please, I still have more than 3,000 to take back."

Zhou Xun wanted to cry but had no tears: "Including Chen Kun, the two of us invested almost 7,000."

Unable to bear the pestering any longer, Zhou Yutang gave her some inside information.

After the two of them finished talking, Liu Yifei wiped the AD calcium milk from the corner of her mouth and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Zhou, can we get her money back?"

"of course can."

"Really?"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.

"In dreams, yes."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "Just wait and see. I guess we won't be able to find anyone soon."

"No way."

Liu Yifei hesitated and said, "Isn't there a lot of good news about LeEco's new energy vehicle project?"

"You believe this too?"

Zhou Yutang just smiled and didn't explain.

Just a while ago, LeTV was shocked by the collapse of its capital chain, and Boss Jia has come up with a new job.

It was officially announced that the new energy vehicle project, which is an important part of LeEco’s ecological chain, has achieved a major breakthrough and has been hyped for a long time.

After cultivating immortality, his magic power increased greatly and his spirit was full of vitality.

Zhou Yutang is as self-disciplined as ever.

I got up early and worked out before going to the company.

Liu Yifei slept until noon, then she took out her phone from the bedside table and looked through the news. Her pupils trembled.

"Mr. Jia has officially resigned from the position of Chairman of LeTV.com, and has also resigned from his positions as a member of the Nomination Committee, Audit Committee, Chairman of the Strategy Committee, and Compensation and Appraisal Committee of the Board of Directors, and has withdrawn from the Board of Directors.

Mr. Jia will no longer hold any position in LeTV.com, and the company's board of directors agrees to apply to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for a suspension of the company's shares for a total period of no more than six months starting today."

"Xiao Zhou is right."

Liu Yifei hadn't fully digested the shock of the news yet, and murmured with some admiration.

She is not completely unfamiliar with business.

After all, he had been around Zhou Yutang for a long time and knew a little about the power relationships.

Boss Jia cut ties with LeTV, which was a groundbreaking move that caused a huge uproar in the film and television industry.

Zhou Yutang was in the company and had just finished a meeting when he received calls from celebrities with whom he had a good relationship, such as Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao.

In the eyes of ordinary people, celebrities seem to be wearing some kind of filter, making them dazzling.

In fact, I am just an ordinary person, and it is very exciting to encounter such things.

To be honest, Zhou Yutang admires Boss Jia very much.

It is indeed unique. LeTV, which he owns, is the earliest video platform to hoard copyrights.

What he is best at is making PPTs and telling stories to people. No one in China can match him.

Moreover, the situation of LeTV, which specifically targets celebrity leeks, is not just that Mr. Zhou and the girls from the West Factory are trapped.

People in the circle, such as Mr. Bai and Mr. and Mrs. Deng Chao, all started with an investment of more than 5,000.

Other stars such as Huang Xiaoming, Saozi Lu and others, ranging from thousands to hundreds, generously donated money and worked hard to support Boss Jia's dream.

This amount of money is not a small sum for a celebrity.

"I want to ask, if Boss Jia runs away, what will happen to the LeEco employees?"

"Mr. Jia, what about the promise to build the LeEco ecosystem and produce supercars?"

"Boss Jia said he would return to China next week, I believe him!"

"I feel a little emotional. It has only been a few years since LeEco went from its heyday to its current state."

"It's still more stable to be the Grand Commander. Jiangdong is getting bigger and bigger now."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the news online and saw all kinds of reports.

It really answered that sentence.

I saw him build a tall building, I saw him entertain guests, and I saw his building collapse.

This matter involved a wide range of people and many of them were unlucky, but for Bao Qi, it was a blessing in disguise.

His divorce lawsuit with Ma Jinlian was known throughout the country. Later, during the lawsuit, he transferred part of his valuable investment in LeTV to Ma Jinlian.

Now, the equity is frozen.

Ma Jinlian is ultimately just a mirage, an empty dream.

Sure enough, he went crazy on Weibo.
******
"It took only two weeks for Bad Genius to surpass 1 billion at the box office, a conscientious domestic film for the summer season!"

In exactly fourteen days, "The Gunman" achieved a box office achievement of 10 billion.

The internet was full of celebratory news, although the single-day box office was inevitably reduced to more than 20 million due to the impact of the Minions.

But considering the production cost of this film, it has achieved an exaggerated return on investment.

Many film and television companies in the industry are watching the box office performance of this movie silently while being envious to the point of tears in their eyes.

He was more concerned about it than Zhou Yutang and had already figured it out clearly.

After deducting special funds and miscellaneous taxes.

The box office share that Jiang Dong received was even higher than the annual profit of some film and television companies!

The vice president of Penguin Pictures was very proud and let slip in a media interview:

“Mr. Zhou’s name is a guarantee of the profits of film and television projects.

At that time, the trailer of "In the Snow" had not been released yet, but with the endorsement of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, the entire series cost had been recovered, and the overseas copyrights of many countries were sold, with a total price of no less than tens of millions of US dollars. As for other details, I can't say too much, you can imagine it yourself."

How to imagine this?

Film and television companies in the industry dare not even think about it!
Because it's really too exaggerated.

This summer, Zhou Yutang has been a stunner on both big and small screens, making clouds and rain with just a flip of his hand.

Since the broadcast of "In the Snow", CCTV has been ranked first in the national TV ratings.

Moreover, it is far superior to other local satellite TV stations!

More than halfway through the broadcast, the number of online views has exceeded 380 billion.

Famous scenes such as Nazha’s white fox face, Lao Huang’s death in Wudi City, the prince being granted the Dahuang Court, and Li the Sword God, continue to dominate the top 3 hot searches on Douyin and Weibo.

Even the villain is Chen Xiao!
The number of reposts of several Weibo posts discussing the plot exceeded one million!

Including the mobile game of the same name launched by Xingchen at this time, as well as genuine peripheral products, all of them were sold out.

According to the current phenomenal popularity of "Snow", the overall project revenue has not yet been disclosed, but it is undoubtedly a shocking figure.

Even the People’s Daily published an article commenting:

“Congratulations to Bad Genius for breaking the billion mark at the box office, and congratulations to Snow on its huge success.

The sale of overseas copyrights is a major step forward in cultural exports.

This new era of martial arts drama uses modern audio-visual language to activate traditional cultural IP and create a new paradigm for content monetization in the market.
This summer, belongs to Zhou Yutang!"
