Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Everyone was full of admiration when they heard that Tang Lou had already taken care of Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi in advance.

Shen Yan was also somewhat taken aback.

"Some time ago, I heard that Gong Yu from Kiwi Fruit wanted to collaborate with Director Lin after seeing the huge success of 'The Journey of Flower,' but Director Lin declined Kiwi Fruit's invitation. It turns out that he had already reached a cooperation agreement with Tang Lou beforehand."

A mid-level manager remarked that the competition among peers for high-quality resources is fierce. Regardless of the project's prospects, Coolcat has already taken the lead in vying for Lin Yufeng, a top-notch director.

"With the addition of renowned director Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi to the production team, the project's chances of success are indeed very high!"

"With the investment from Jiaxing Media and Lin Yufeng, the funding problem has indeed been solved."

The most difficult problems were resolved by Tang Lou in just a few words, and Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi's strength and status were undeniable.

Tang Lou then elaborated on some viewpoints and market analysis. Based on his experience from his previous life and his grasp of the future situation, Tang Lou's words were irrefutable.

With the script, director, actors, and funding all in place, the project's approval was officially confirmed.

Shen Yan was very satisfied with Tang Lou's performance.

"Now that the basic framework has been set, Tanglou will take full responsibility for officially promoting this project, with all departments providing their full support."

"As for funding, besides what we negotiated for the tenement buildings, I will also make some contact."

Thanks to the meticulous preparations made by the landlord, the entire meeting concluded efficiently and achieved remarkable results.

After the meeting, Shen Yan immediately started making arrangements with the CFO.

Three days later, all the funds were in place.

In addition to the 120 million yuan approved by the group, Shen Yan, for certain reasons, also brought in Tianyu Media as one of the investors, who invested a total of 50 million yuan.

Jiaxing Media received 40 million, while Lin Yufeng's company invested 30 million.

2.4 million is enough to complete this project!

Tang Lou was still somewhat wary of Shen Yan's attempt to bring in Tianyu Media.

After all, Tianyu Media has a lot of artists, and they have high hopes for this drama, Tanglou. They can't let the quality drop because of the actors.

Therefore, as the producer and controller of the project, Tang Lou added a clause when signing the investment agreement with several investors: in order to ensure the quality of the work, Tang Lou has the right to veto the selection of actors for the roles!

With funding secured, the project officially commenced.

The studios in the tenement buildings also began selecting employees.

Originally, the "Produce 101" project team selected a few people, and then the human resources department recruited a few more.

Li Jing was one of the first to defect to Tanglou and has been in charge of coordinating various departments. He is also a long-time employee of Coolcat.

Chen Ling is in charge of finance and is also a seasoned veteran with many years of experience. She is meticulous and thorough in her work.

The others are all capable of handling things independently. Tanglou's studio doesn't have many people, but it basically takes care of everything.

After completing these tasks, Tanglou is also ready to monetize its copyright investments.

The copyright of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was purchased for three million yuan, and then the film and television adaptation rights were licensed to KuMao for ten million yuan.

After making a profit of seven million, he immediately invested the profits in the stock market.

Once everything was ready at Tanglou, they immediately contacted Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi's team.

The first important step begins: auditions and casting!

Aside from Yang Mi being chosen as the female lead, the remaining roles will need to be filled through auditions.

Of course, Tang Lou gave Lin Yufeng some suggestions for the roles, but the final decision would only be made after Lin Yufeng reviewed them.

The TV series, directed by Lin Yufeng, starring Yang Mi, and with an investment of nearly 300 million yuan mainly invested and controlled by KuMiao, has attracted attention from all sides of the entertainment industry after it issued a casting notice.

Universities, film and television companies, and artists from all walks of life are preparing to participate in this audition.

Tianyu Media.

The leader of Revelation Online has a good relationship with Shen Yan, so he participated in this investment.

As investors, they naturally wanted a piece of the pie, so their team sent two actors over.

One of them is Zheng Shuang, a popular female star whom they value highly.

Zheng Shuang's career has been very smooth; she reached her peak right from her debut.

In 2009, she starred in the youth idol drama "Meteor Shower" and became an instant hit with her role as Chu Yuxun, earning a nomination for Best Actress at the 25th Golden Eagle Awards.

In 2011, she played the role of Peony in the film "Painted Skin" and won the Best New Performer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Last year, she collaborated with Yang Mi on the role of Xiangling in "Swords of Legends", and won the 13th Huading Award for the most popular film and television star among national audiences.

This time, Zheng Shuang has her eye on the role of Bai Fengjiu.

In Zheng Shuang's view, she was an employee of the investor, Tianyu Media, and had previously worked with Yang Mi on "Gu Jian Qi Tan". The directors of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Liang Shengquan and Lin Yufeng, can be said to be a golden duo for many years. With this connection, Zheng Shuang was determined to win.

In her view, the audition was just a formality. With her popularity and her relationship with Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi, she didn't need to prepare anything extra.

Besides Zheng Shuang, another young actor being groomed for a major role in Tianyu is Yu Menglong.

However, Yu Menglong is not famous yet; he is simply Zheng Shuang's underling.

Yu Menglong cherished this opportunity and spent a lot of time understanding the role he wanted to audition for before the audition.

Just days after the casting announcement for "Eternal Love" was released, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" was officially launched.

This web series, directed by Lin Yufeng, became an instant hit with viewership upon its release.

Meanwhile, its rating on Douban soared to 8.6, making it a hit web series with "zero negative reviews".

The explosive popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" has once again ignited the influence of self-produced web dramas, and has also prompted major video platforms to continue to increase their investments.

Lin Yufeng, the director of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," has once again attracted the attention of major video platforms, with two consecutive hit dramas demonstrating her strength.

However, Tanglou had already beaten them to it.

The immense popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" made Lin Yufeng and Yang Mi admire Tang Lou's vision and judgment even more.

After witnessing Tang Lou's abilities and vision, Yang Mi valued the "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" project even more.

It also became the highest priority project for the entire Jiaxing Media. In order to obtain the greatest benefits, Yang Mi brought all the artists under his management.

In addition to Dilraba Dilmurat, who was originally scheduled to participate, Gao Weiguang, Zhang Bingbing, Zhu Xudan, Liu Ruilin, Wang Xiao, Dai Si, and others also participated in the audition.

The audition was held at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. In addition to the artists associated with the investors, Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong, who were invited by Tanglou, also participated in the casting.

Of course, many students from the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Institute also signed up for the audition.

The audition venue was packed with people, and the audience was incredibly enthusiastic.

After all, it's a huge investment of nearly 300 million yuan, backed by the current number one video platform, Kugou Music, and directed by Lin Yufeng, so the chances of it becoming a hit are still very high.

Tang Lou, as one of the producers and investors of the show, also came to the audition.

The vice dean of the Shanghai Academy of Drama personally came to receive Tang Lou's team. Seeing Tang Lou standing in the center and Lin Yufeng willingly taking a backseat, the vice dean was quite surprised.

The fact that he is such a young person in charge speaks volumes about his abilities and his position within Coolcat.

As the vice dean of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, I am of course very welcoming to big names like Tang Lou from KuMiao Video, and I look forward to more collaborations in the future.

The vice president treated Tang Lou with great politeness and enthusiasm.
