Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Under the strong pressure from the tenement building, Coolcat's purchasing team immediately contacted KBS TV station in South Korea.

The negotiations between KBS and Kiwi were already at an impasse. Seeing that Kiwi was hesitant while the Cool Cat team came with great sincerity, a decision was quickly made after comparing the two sides.

They eventually signed him for $20 per episode!

This was significantly cheaper than Tanglou had originally anticipated, but it still set a record for the copyright price of a South Korean drama in China.

Tanglou purchased exclusive online broadcasting rights, therefore, this drama can only be streamed on Kugou Music.

After Tang Lou strongly advocated for KuMiao to purchase the exclusive online streaming rights to "Descendants of the Sun" for a high price of $20 per episode, the industry was shocked, and opinions were divided.

After summarizing the gains and losses of the previous year, Gong Yu has also learned from his mistakes this year and devoted a lot of energy to producing his own dramas and variety shows.

Under his strong advocacy, two web series are in production during this period.

One of them is "The Best of Us", and the other is "Yu Zui".

These two dramas were the culmination of Gong Yu's hard work. In fact, both of them were phenomenal hits in their previous lives, achieving both critical acclaim and high viewership.

In terms of self-produced variety shows, Gong Yu is collaborating with Ma Xi of Miwei Media, and the phenomenal variety show "Qipa Talk" Season 3 is also in preparation.

Gong Yu spent too much energy on these dramas and variety shows, which led him to temporarily abandon his investment in "Descendants of the Sun".

Following the development of the previous life, in the first half of 2016, with "The Best of Us", "Yu Zui" and "Descendants of the Sun", especially the phenomenal masterpiece "Descendants of the Sun", Kiwi Fruit established its reputation and status as a premium self-produced web drama and a top-rated online variety show.

That same year, kiwifruit gradually gained momentum, while Coolcat lacked a competitive premium product and gradually fell behind.

However, in this life, Tang Lou first secured the exclusive online broadcasting rights for "Descendants of the Sun," essentially cutting off Kiwi's wings.

Moreover, "Sito" is also in production, which is a trump card that can compete with Kiwi.

In addition, "Heart Signal" will be another card that Tanglou will play next. With this, the balance of power will shift, and it will be hard to say what will happen in the first half of the year!

Regardless, Tanglou has lost its chance to defy fate in the kiwifruit industry.

Gong Yu is still slow to realize this, and he doesn't seem to care much about the loss of the copyright to "Descendants of the Sun".

"Since Cool Cat spent so much money to buy it, let him have it."

"I believe that the first half of this year will be the year of our two dramas. I estimate that Tanglou has run out of ideas and can't produce any good original content, so they can only go back to the old ways and buy licensed dramas."

Gong Yu offered his assessment, after all, even the most talented producer cannot produce five or six hit shows in a row.

Last year, being able to produce shows like "Produce 101," "Eternal Love," and "Go Fighting!" was already incredibly lucky.

A person may be successful for a time, but good fortune cannot last forever.

"Perhaps this time, the attempt by tenement buildings to compete for market share through licensed dramas marks the beginning of their decline this year."

"This has further strengthened my resolve to invest in creating original content!"

"Through these self-produced contents, we aim to cultivate our team and partners, enabling us to achieve industry-leading self-produced content capabilities!"

Before Gong Yu even saw the Tanglou purchasing the copyright, he had already envisioned the kiwifruit industry standing out in the first half of the year.

Shen Yan also paid attention to public opinion within the industry!

Shen Yan was somewhat surprised that Tanglou had spent so much money to pre-purchase the copyright of a South Korean drama that had not yet been filmed.

However, he firmly supports Tang Lou, and now that Tang Lou has been granted upgraded authority, this is the first time he is making independent decisions. How could he, as the leader, possibly undermine him?

Shen Yan directly expressed his strongest support and also expressed his complete trust in Tanglou and absolute delegation of authority during the business unit meeting!

This makes the success of the drama "Descendants of the Sun" crucial. If it succeeds, Tang Lou's position will become more and more secure, and he will become a true big boss of Cool Cat.

However, if the show fails, Tang Lou's newly promoted position may be in jeopardy, and some of his authority may be restricted.

This is something Shen Yan really doesn't want to see.

Shen Yan wanted Tang Lou to truly grow up and become capable of standing on his own.

He can then focus more on management upwards. He wants to take another step forward and, with Tang Lou in to, strive for even greater heights!

Alibaba's Digital Media and Entertainment Group is not just about Youku; it includes other parts as well.

Shen Yan has great ambitions. If he can keep moving up to a big platform like Alibaba, and even become an Alibaba partner, then fame and fortune will be on another level.

As for Tang Lou, will he become the head of Alibaba's Digital Media and Entertainment Group in the future?

This is Shen Yan's expectation and wish for Tanglou.

All of this depends on the smooth progress of the tenement building project, without any mistakes or errors!

After finalizing the "Descendants of the Sun" project, Tang Lou returned to the production team to serve as the producer of "Si Teng," a drama on which Tang Lou also had high hopes.

After all, this year's kiwifruit market is unprecedentedly strong. Only by bringing out enough trump cards can we compete with, or even suppress, it!

Jing Tian and Zheng Shuang were overjoyed after Tang Lou continued to join the crew.

Due to the series of operations of Tanglou, the release and premiere of some TV series have also undergone some changes.

In particular, Zheng Shuang's film "Chronicle of Life" filmed last year was delayed by a few days before its release.

In its previous life, this drama was also a hit drama at the beginning of 2016.

This series also had its online streaming rights acquired by KuMiao's purchasing department last year, and it performed very well after being launched on KuMiao.

It immediately surged to the top spot among online dramas released in the same period!

Zheng Shuang, as the female lead, has become one of the most popular actresses in the hit dramas that premiered at the beginning of the year.

Her portrayal of Wei Linlang has become one of Zheng Shuang's signature roles!

With the popularity of this drama, Zheng Shuang has further solidified her top position among the four little actresses born in the 90s!

This momentum is comparable to that of Dilraba last year!

All of this was naturally included in the design of Tanglou. With the popularity of "Chronicle of Life", Zheng Shuang has definitely become the number one actress on the hot search list at the beginning of the year.

At this time, Tang Lou's decision to cast Zheng Shuang as Shen Yindeng in "Si Teng" was a stroke of genius!

As a result, the drama "Si Teng" has once again become a hit before it even airs.

The foresight and vision of the tenement building have also earned it high praise from the outside world.

In fact, a legend began to circulate in the entertainment industry that collaborating with Tanglou would guarantee instant fame.

Last year, Dilraba experienced a similar situation. During the filming of the Tanglou project, "Diamond Lover" became a huge hit, and then "Eternal Love" became another phenomenal hit.

This year, during Zheng Shuang's participation in the filming of the Tanglou project, "Chronicle of Life" became a hit. So, will "Si Teng" also become a phenomenal hit?

Against this mystical backdrop, the entire crew of "Si Teng" was full of energy and finally wrapped up filming smoothly as planned.
