China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 974 Whale Fall Brings Life to All Things, Two Princesses from the North and South

Lu Han's fans were crying and wailing.

There are also malicious bystanders and haters taking the opportunity to stir up trouble.

The rest of the people laughed so hard they squealed like pigs.

This wave of Lu Han's relationship gossip has directly boosted the KPIs of the Chinese entertainment industry this year, and is also the most eye-catching event in the entire Chinese entertainment circle.

If we say that Zhou Yutang pioneered the track of top-tier idols, he is widely recognized as the GOAT.

Therefore, Lu Han is undoubtedly the current top-tier celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry after him.

Last year, his commercial value and traffic data both reached their peak, making him the top of the four traffic kings and successfully topping the list of celebrities who attract money in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Going back six or seven years from this list, there is no doubt that Governor Zhou would have topped the list.

Later, at the request of many netizens, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong was directly removed from the list.

The top spot has been rotated among various groups, including Zhou Hongyi (Milk Tea Girl) and Fan Bingbing (Teacher Fan). Last year, Lu Han topped the list with a peak annual income of 2.8 million yuan.

Not an exaggeration.

One Lu Han is enough to make a company fly.

One person earns more than an entire listed company!

This is also the biggest reason why Yang Tianzhen has the confidence to challenge Zhou Shufang.

Faced with such enormous profits, many people are already calculating their gains.

Once a large number of Lu Han's fans leave, shaking his core fanbase, the brand will inevitably have to reconsider its strategy.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

The traffic that actually fell from Lu Han's head could feed countless people.

"Mr. Zhou, Lu Han lost nearly 80 followers today, and several brands have sent termination notices."

This wave of events is facing the risk of a decline in the commercial value of artists. Even Yang Tianzhen is a little panicked. By the time she took the initiative to report on her work, Zhou Yutang was already on his way to the Shilla Hotel.

This situation was entirely within his expectations.

While there will certainly be some losses, upon closer examination, Lu Han has actually begun to transition into acting since returning to China.

It's good to take this opportunity to refine our fanbase; Jiangdong's PR department had already prepared a contingency plan and was just waiting to get to work.

The driver gradually slowed down, and Zhou Yutang instructed, "The sky hasn't fallen yet. Tell Xiaolu to keep a low profile for a while."

"I understand!"

at this time.

On the top floor of the Shilla Hotel, in the presidential suite.

Yoona, who specially canceled three engagements to free up her schedule, hummed a cheerful tune.

Those slender, white, bare feet trod on the expensive wool carpet, light and agile like a deer in the forest.

I entered the suite's own dressing room.

Holding up several dresses and comparing them, Yoona's gaze finally settled on a pink off-shoulder dress that exuded an irresistible girlish sweetness.

The simple, monochrome off-shoulder design perfectly showcases her enviable collarbones and shoulders.

The skirt can cover up Yoona's less-than-ideal calf curves and also accentuate her mature and sophisticated figure.

"Won't this make oppa swoon?"

Lin Yoona is very clear about Zhou Yutang's taste. With more than ten years of experience on the girl group stage, she also knows how to highlight her strengths to the greatest extent.

As she changed into her dress and tidied her hair, she saw her phone screen light up, displaying a Kakao message from Zhou Yutang.

After wiping off a little lip gloss, Lim Yoona revealed a pure and innocent smile that showed genuine joy.

The soft, stylish lighting from the ceiling shone directly onto her exquisitely beautiful face, which resembled a work of art.

Like a stunningly beautiful goddess descending to earth.

With her legs gracefully crossed, Zhou Yutang turned her head to look out the window.

Actually, he didn't have any particular feelings about this country.

In any case, it was a blessed place that provided him with the starting fund for his dreams, and there were also two beloved concubines from Goryeo there.

It's been a while since I've been here, and it feels like a lifetime has passed.

The last time Zhou Yutang came to South Korea, he teamed up with Jack Ma, and together they received great hospitality from Park Geun-hye at the Blue House.

At that time, relations between the two countries were in a honeymoon period, and both sides originally planned to deepen their cooperative relationship.

Professor Ma even signed a memorandum of understanding with the South Korean Trade Association and reached a cooperation agreement for small and medium-sized enterprises. Unfortunately, the cooperation cooled down later due to the THAAD incident.

This time, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong visited loyal South Korea, but the official reception was not overly extravagant.

But Lee Bok-jin, the eldest daughter of the Samsung conglomerate, still gave her plenty of face.

She wore a meticulously tailored black cashmere women's suit, her legs encased in black stockings, and a pair of understated satin silk low-heeled flats.

Her makeup was simple yet sophisticated, and the perfectly placed single diamond earrings and pearl necklace accentuated her dignified and elegant aura.

Yes, it seems that even her hair exudes femininity.

This was Chen Duling's first impression of Li Fuzhen.

In particular, behind this eldest princess of the Samsung conglomerate stood more than a dozen men in formal attire, who appeared to be senior executives of the Samsung conglomerate in charge of cultural and tourism business.

Security personnel were on high alert, forming a human wall, while local South Korean media, armed with cameras and microphones, crowded together.

They automatically separated when they saw the black Maybach convoy approaching.

Seeing the car door open and a pair of long legs in leather shoes step out, Li Fuzhen brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, stepped forward, and a perfectly curved smile appeared on her lips.
"President Zhou, welcome."

"President Li, you're too kind. Thank you for waiting."

Zhou Yutang, dressed in a light gray cashmere coat, shook hands familiarly with the wealthy heiress.

Li Fuzhen, sitting opposite him, smiled and exchanged pleasantries as he led the way, though his heart was far from calm.

When I first collaborated with Zhou Yutang, I never imagined that he would have such a powerful and influential presence today.

Originally, according to Li Fuzhen's plan.

The intention was to leverage Zhou Yutang to solidify their position within the conglomerate and, incidentally, expand their business in the Tianchao region, making it bigger and stronger.

There had been some unspoken turmoil in her heart, and she wasn't opposed to the possibility of something happening between the two of them.
After all, no matter how prestigious Li Fuzhen's status was, she was still a woman at heart.

Faced with this top male god whose charm captivates young women and housewives across Asia, it's only natural for a divorced man with a child like me to be swayed.

Zhou Yutang was fully aware of this, but he maintained a good sense of boundaries and did not take any steps to advance the relationship.

For him, this was always just a business deal that required precise control and mutual benefit.

He admired the other person's professionalism and ability.

But that's all.

Any ambiguous signals that go beyond the scope of business will become an obstacle in his decision-making regarding the division of interests in the game.

Chen Duling, who was by Zhou Yutang's side, could probably understand this subtle sense of distance.

Sometimes they are affectionate, but sometimes they are heartless.

She was very curious how such contradictory traits could coexist in one person.

The banquet was held at the Shilla Hotel, not in accordance with local South Korean customs.

Li Fuzhen had been dealing with Zhou Yutang for quite some time and knew his tastes.

It remains a light and refreshing Huaiyang cuisine.

Although it cannot compare to the methods of the eight grandmasters under Governor Zhou.

But to be able to taste this flavor in a foreign land is quite a rare treat.

As night deepened and the revelry subsided, Zhou Yutang returned to his hotel room, sinking into the sofa and propping his long legs up on a footstool, finally relaxing completely. Lin Yoona was placing down the warmed sake she had brought over and kneeling beside her.

Slightly curious, she listened to him talking on the phone about the various arrangements for tomorrow's closing ceremony, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yutang suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Oppa, what are you doing?"

The weak resistance, which amounted to nothing, only made Zhou Yutang more tempted. Suddenly, he grabbed the innocent little deer's chin, turned her towards the French window, and then stood up.

Love needs no words; actions speak louder than words.

In the Jiangnan region, skyscrapers stand like a forest, while the Seoul Tower, like a diamond-encrusted scepter, stands atop Namsan Mountain.

The entire city flickered like breathing as the beam of light shooting into the sky from the tower.

Zhou Yutang gently stroked Lin Yoona's delicate skin at the waist with his fingertips, posing this goddess, who was admired by countless people, in a slightly embarrassing position against the window.

The glass reflected the charming appearance of the innocent little deer.

It also reflected the neon lights of the entire city of Seoul, all prostrate at their feet.
"A media tycoon from China arrived in South Korea today and met with Samsung's eldest daughter, Lee Bok-jin, at the Shilla Hotel!"

"The closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics will be held tomorrow, and Governor Zhou will attend in person."

While Zhou Yutang was indulging in the gentle embrace of his beloved concubine from Goryeo, the public relations department in Jiangdong, China, worked overtime through the night.

To the disappointment of many, as Jiangdong's public relations department stepped in overnight, the focus quickly shifted, and Lu Han seemed to be largely unaffected.

In the entertainment industry, results ultimately speak for themselves.

Since shifting his career focus to the Chinese entertainment industry, Lu Han has begun a transformation phase.

He is no longer an idol who relies on the stage.

His starring role in "Fighter of the Destiny" achieved good broadcast results, and the box office success of the "Detective Chinatown" film series further propelled him to stardom.

Beyond the competitions, this PyeongChang Winter Olympics in South Korea has many more profound and important meanings.

You can tell by seeing that the princess from the north brought a high-level delegation to the event.

She did not come alone; she represented the will of the sun.

This is the first time the two countries have fielded a joint team at the Olympics, a rare sight in more than 70 years since the separation of the Korean Peninsula.

Media outlets from various countries have reported on this, especially the northern princess, who is quite outstanding in figure and appearance.

She has also been photographed with the eldest daughter of the Samsung conglomerate, leading many to compare her to Lee Bok-jin.

At the closing ceremony, Zhou Yutang shook hands with the Northern Princess, and the media captured the moment.

The angle of the photo was somewhat subtle, as if the Northern Princess had glanced at Zhou Yutang a few more times, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Domestic netizens watching the live stream started randomly shipping the couple, generating a lot of buzz and diverting some of the attention away from Lu Han.

Even Xigou was gossiping on WeChat: "Brother Tang, don't mess around, I'm really afraid something will happen to you."

"roll!"

Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly.

The netizens of this generation are of such low quality that they have completely demonized him.

If any woman with decent looks has ever been in the same frame or interacted with him, the conversation will immediately veer towards a romantic relationship.

Bizarre comments such as "Zhou Yutang and Li Fuzhen are a good match" and "If Zhou Yutang proposed to the North Korean princess, would she agree?" are repeatedly prohibited but continue to be made.

Of course, the Jiangdong Public Relations Department wouldn't take action unless things went too far.

He makes a living in the entertainment industry, and Governor Zhou is quite down-to-earth. Since everyone enjoys it, it doesn't matter if he entertains the public.

Having seen the world, Chen Duling leaned close to Zhou Yutang's ear and whispered, "Boss, do you think the north ones are prettier, or the south ones are more beautiful?"

"What do you think?"

"Then I still prefer Li Fuzhen."

"Are you sure it's not because of the gift your secretary gave you?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at her casually, and the secretary was instantly dumbfounded: "Huh? How did you know?"

The gentleness of the Goryeo queen did not diminish Zhou Yutang's sensitivity.

He maintained absolute control over his team.

Li Fuzhen is a very methodical woman; she has made arrangements in every aspect to maintain their relationship.

For example, Zhou Yutang's various lifestyle habits and preferences are all meticulously arranged, as is how he treats the key figures in his team.

"If it's a gift from you, then accept it."

It was just a bag, so Zhou Yutang still trusted his secretary to some extent.

However, since the topic of appearance came up, even a well-known person with face blindness couldn't help but mentally assign scores.

These two princesses from the north and south are simply different types and cannot be generalized.

The princess from the south possessed a gentle and virtuous demeanor, and her interactions with others were like a breath of fresh air.

As for the princess in the north, she had a cold and aloof demeanor. When she walked, she slightly raised her head, and her eyes swept around with a hint of eagle-like piercing.

This is just a minor incident; the Winter Olympics are still ongoing.

The entire night in Pyeongchang was illuminated by the final, intense heat of the Olympic flame, seemingly imbued with the vibrant life of early spring.

Zhou Yutang was seated in the VIP viewing area, dressed in a well-tailored black bespoke suit, overlooking this world-class event.

Suddenly, the lights on the main stage dimmed.

Only a few beams of light remained, piercing the darkness like sharp swords, precisely pinning themselves to the center of that area—twenty-four enormous, crystal-clear ice screens, as if cut directly from polar glaciers, were instantly illuminated!

The "BJ 8 Minutes" performance, directed by Zhang Yimou, has officially begun.

Within the ice screen, images flow.

It is evident that the ancient bricks and stones of the Great Wall were rapidly built in the light and shadow, winding and coiling like a dragon soaring into the sky.

Suddenly, it was replaced by a speeding silver high-speed train, roaring through the magnificent mountains and rivers, the pulse and speed of modern China burning hot on this cold carrier.
Twenty-four robots with built-in artificial intelligence programs, representing the 24th Winter Olympics, performed in collaboration with dancers.

With precise movements on the ice, the dancers move in sync with the rhythm of the music and the changing images. Their gliding trajectories are seamlessly linked with the images on the ice screen, creating a breathtaking and magical experience, as if they are walking in a painting.

"Oh my god..."

One of the blonde, blue-eyed foreign guests instinctively covered his mouth.

The foreigners nearby stared wide-eyed, completely captivated by the stunning and magnificent light and shadow.

But what's even more breathtaking is yet to come.

The interplay of light and shadow with physical objects, the perfect fusion of cold technology and human warmth, redefines Chinese aesthetics.

Finally, all the elements converged and froze, and the screen shimmered with light, clearly projecting four Chinese characters – “相约BJ” (Meet in Beijing)!
This magnificent visual spectacle brought the entire Pyeongchang Stadium to a momentary silence.

Immediately, a tsunami of applause and gasps of amazement erupted, almost lifting the roof off.

"That was a great job!"

Zhou Yutang straightened his back and then clapped.

When you're in a foreign country and witness such a scene, a sense of identity that comes from the depths of your blood is naturally evoked.

An indescribable surge of heat, uncontrollable and intense, instantly flowed from my heart to every part of my body.

The title "National Advisor" is truly fitting.

There are always some people who are born for such grand occasions.

The 08 Olympics delivered a perfect performance, and the programs arranged for this year's Winter Olympics have not disappointed either.

The PyeongChang Winter Olympics have come to a close after completing all the formalities, and the organizers even prepared a special banquet for the guests.

It was of a high standard, but it didn't suit Zhou Yutang's taste.

just,

I met Mr. Wen.
