Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"The higher-ups have organized an economic and cultural exchange group to Korea, and the time is probably at the end of the month. Is your schedule okay?"

"Director Tong, since you asked, there must be no problem."

Zhou Yutang has a high level of ideological awareness, and asked casually: "Who is on the list specifically?"

The two countries are now in a honeymoon period of relations. This year, they just signed a film co-production agreement, and there are many similar economic and cultural exchange activities.

"The leader of Alibaba specifically named you as the leader of the team."

Director Tong's voice was neither slow nor hurried: "If there are any difficulties, you can ask."

Now Jack Ma of Alibaba has reached the top of the business world, and his popularity is unmatched. He takes his team to give speeches everywhere, and his adopted sons are all over the country.

Zhou Yutang is also a leading figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. A recent report from CNN praised him as "the most respected young international director in China."

"Director Tong, you're right, I have a little trouble, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Oh."

Director Tong seemed to be in a good mood and made a little joke: "Why, there are still things you can't handle, tell me about it?"

"Director Tong, please don't joke with me."

Zhou Yutang was sweating slightly in his heart, but he still spoke with a thick face: "As for the project of "Operation Mekong", from the time it was discussed to now, I don't know how many versions of the script have been revised, and the effect is still not ideal."

"The main thing is that I am not sure about the direction. You have to come to diagnose and check it, and then I will know how to do it."

"Operation Mekong" was a project obtained through open bidding at the Liushenmen headquarters.

However, this kind of official project has to take into account all aspects, and the script is not so easy to write.

At that time, "In the Name of the People" was named by the big leaders for attention, and special matters were handled specially, so it was given the green light all the way.

This time it is just a regular project, even with the endorsement of the Golden Shield, it is necessary to follow the rules and procedures.

The crying child gets the milk, this truth Zhou Yutang still understands.

Since Director Tong said that he could raise any request, it would be best to solve this problem at the same time.

Director Tong on the other end of the phone understood the reason and laughed: "I have heard about this project. The general direction is good, but some comrades below said that the script content is beyond the line."

"But we have to look at both sides of everything, showing the magnanimity of a great country, and...

Let's do this, the process still needs to be followed, I will hold an internal meeting to discuss it later."

"There is a saying that goes, clearing away the clouds and fog to see the clear sky."

Zhou Yutang smiled slightly in his heart: "Then thank Director Tong first."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, submit a list of accompanying personnel as soon as possible, and then you have to contact them in advance."

With Director Tong leading the meeting and discussion, there will be no surprise in promoting the passage of this project.

This is the national conditions of the Celestial Empire.

Many things have results first, and then there are processes.

Nazha stayed close to Zhou Yutang until he finished talking to Director Tong before coming over, with her big, sparkling eyes: "Brother, are you going to South Korea next?"

"Yes, there are some things to deal with there."

Even if Tong Gang didn't mention it, Zhou Yutang would have to go to South Korea next.

Lu Han's return to China, and the renewal of the contract between Girls' Generation's Jessica Jung and S\u0026M all need to be dealt with.

Pei Yun's role is not enough, and he must come forward in person to cover it.

Zhou Yutang has few scenes left. Nazha joined the crew early, and the filming will be completed by late September at the latest. Then she will start the publicity work of "Love O2O" and shoot the endorsement advertisement of the game of the same name.

"I'm so reluctant."

Thinking that they are about to part, and the next meeting will probably have to wait until one or two months later, Nazha felt a little sad and hugged Zhou Yutang tighter.

She knew that there were many women around Zhou Yutang, but at least during the time Zhou Yutang was in the crew, he put more thoughts on her.

Nazha enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by happiness.

After filming in the day, she would occasionally accompany Zhou Yutang to meet the He family and some other local tyrants in Haojiang.

When they had time, they would go shopping and eat snacks on the streets of Haojiang, and at night, the two of them would be shameless and stick together.

With the intention of pleasing her, Nazha asked for whatever she wanted and was extremely obedient.

It was a pity that Zhou Yutang was too busy with his career and was destined not to stop moving forward for a woman.

Sometimes, Nazha would often think wildly: "If my brother was not so outstanding and not so popular, he would only belong to me."

But that was just a luxury after all.

Zhou Yutang was too dazzling, and all the popular female stars would pale in comparison to him.

Feeling that Nazha was a little depressed, Zhou Yutang put his arm around her fair shoulders and held her light body in his arms.

"Brother, what do you think about me getting breast augmentation?"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhou Yutang's face: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Don't men like big breasts?"

Nazha raised her slender neck, with exquisite collarbone lines, and said naggingly: "Brother, I have consulted a professional doctor. What will happen if a prosthesis is put in? Do you know what the doctor said?"

"What did he say?"

"The doctor gave an example. The same bowl is different when placed under the sheets and under the quilt. The doctor said that if the base is the quilt, it is a thick quilt and you can't see it."

Well, there is no hope.

Zhou Yutang touched Nazha's head and comforted her: "It's okay, small is also cute. At your age, I will work harder and there will be a chance for secondary development."

He did what he said, so he had to comfort her.

Nazha was shallow-minded and easy to coax after all. After a while, she was coaxed by the scumbag's pie in the sky and forgot everything.

What prosthesis, what enlargement, all thrown behind her.

Zhou Yutang saw her holding a mobile phone, and he didn't know why she was happy, and she smiled foolishly from time to time.

When he got closer, he found that she was in her core fan group, and the management was organizing the canvassing of the Golden Eagle Goddess candidates.

The Golden Eagle Goddess is actually the image endorsement of the Golden Eagle Festival, not an honorary award.

The hard standard given by Mango is to be a popular actress with high popularity and natural youthful beauty.

The first Golden Eagle was Liu Yifei.

At that time, Liu Tianxian was a bit invincible. She won the Golden Eagle Goddess by drinking AD calcium milk.

The last Golden Eagle Goddess was Liu Shishi.

The little lions showed amazing fighting power, using the huge difference in votes to pull together and beat all the candidates behind.

Such a domineering election as the Golden Eagle Goddess also made Liu Shishi nicknamed "No. 1 Sister" in the circle.

Having been elected as the Golden Eagle Goddess, she naturally cannot be elected again. This time, without the two Lius, it became lively.

Judging from the number of votes, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Zheng Shuang, Li Xin, and Zhao Liying are in the first echelon.

The second echelon is Zhou Dongyu, Tong Yaya, Guli Nazha, Dilireba, and Yang Ying.

Others such as Yuan Shanshan, Qi Wei, Zhang Jiani, etc. are also considered popular young flowers, but in the middle of the voting, the number of votes has been widened, and they are basically runners-up.

"Brother, do you think I have a chance?"

Naza leaned against Zhou Yutang, unconsciously with a bit of a coquettish tone.

"In my heart, you are a goddess. Your eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, just like stars"

Naza's eyebrows and eyes are smiling like flowers.

It doesn't really matter whether she wins the Golden Eagle Goddess or not.

She has been intoxicated by Zhou Yutang's sweet words that even dogs can hear.

Zhou Yutang knows it very well.

Guli Nazha and Dilireba are likely to be runners-up this time.

Because although Nazha has the box office performance of "Now You See Me", which is enough to surpass all the young actresses, her performance on TV is obviously inferior to Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others.

By the time "Love O2O" scheduled for the National Day is broadcast, the Golden Eagle Goddess has already been decided.

The sisters of Northern Xinjiang will never be separated.

Dilireba, one of the two beauties of Northern Xinjiang, is in a similar situation.

Apart from Shirley Yang in "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", her only well-known role on TV is Fan Ruoruo in "Joy of Life".

After the filming of another "Pretty Li Huizhen" was completed, although the post-production was completed, there was no time to hold a screening.

This year, the drama "Diamond Lover" co-starring with Tang Yan is also in the waiting state.

Relying on the national popularity accumulation of the ace variety show Running Man alone is obviously not enough for Dilraba Dilmurat to be crowned as a Golden Eagle.

In the circle, there is a professional term for this kind of young actress with potential that has not yet been tapped, called "explosive flowers".

In comparison, the most likely ones are Yang Mi and Tang Yan, or Zhao Liying and Li Xin, who also have opportunities.

The person in charge of the Golden Eagle of Mango has contacted Zhou Yutang and hinted at his ideas.

Zhou Yutang has always maintained a good relationship with Mango, and they are deep strategic partners. Now the people who are ranked higher in the Golden Eagle Goddess ranking have more or less some relationship with Zhou Yutang, and his ideas are very important.

But this time, Zhou Yutang is not going to make a move.

Let it go.

Let's see their own luck.

It's late September, and the two Hollywood blockbusters "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: War for the Sun and the Moon" and "The Expendables 3" have passed the mainland Mid-Autumn Festival without suspense.

The former has already broken through 600 million yuan, and the latter is not far behind, ranking second in the Mid-Autumn Festival, with a cumulative box office of 380 million yuan.

Guangguang's "The Four" has reached 191 million yuan, which is considered a slight resistance.

Xie Tingfeng and Tang Wei's "One Life, One World" has been released for three weeks, and the total box office has closed at 203 million yuan, which has created the peak box office record of Xie Tingfeng's career as a leading actor.

In addition, domestic films including the first film "The Intouchables" by the famous TV director Zhao Baogang have all become cannon fodder.

As the National Day is approaching, "Heart Flower Road" has also released the final trailer.

After Zhou Yutang finished shooting from the crew, he returned to Beijing in a low-key manner and received an official invitation letter and related documents.

On the 25th, the entertainment emperor of the Celestial Empire arrived in his loyal Incheon again.

"Ani, Saiyo, Oppa!"

"Aaaaa! So handsome!"

"Congee fish, Niho! Wow!"

...

When walking out of the airport passage, at least hundreds of Kimchi fans gathered, speaking broken Chinese, excitedly expressing their love to Zhou Yutang.

This was a public trip, and Zhou Yutang's fans had already brought it back.

"Hello."

Zhou Yutang waved to the Kimchi fans, showing a bright smile of business nature.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The shutter sounded like a machine gun.

The flash lights kept flashing one after another.

The media at the scene really didn't want to miss a second of Zhou Yutang's return to Korea after a long time.

Zhou Yutang's perfect professionalism also earned him a scream that almost ripped the dome of the airport apart.

There were also many South Korean financial media taking pictures of Jack Ma, but at this time his limelight was undoubtedly overshadowed by Zhou Yutang. After all, in terms of appearance, Mr. Ma was at a disadvantage.

Mr. Ma and Zhou Yutang walked outside with their team.

This strange combination attracted passers-by to stop and watch.

In this small country with a particularly developed entertainment industry, such airport star-chasing happens every day.

But today was a little different.

On both sides of the airport passage, there were two rows of stern security guards in uniform suits.

It was not until they recognized the white-faced, beardless middle-aged man who often appeared in the news media that they reacted:

"Ah, this guy is An Zhongfan, the chief secretary of the Blue House!"

"Nihao, Nihao."

An Zhongfan smiled and took the initiative to walk towards the visiting group.

He shook hands with Jack Ma and Zhou Yutang respectively, and his slightly bulging belly showed his pampered life.

"Hello, Secretary An."

When Zhou Yutang shook hands with him, he inexplicably thought of Cao Zhengchun, the eunuch Cao.

With an interpreter by their side, communication was naturally unimpeded. The few people walked and talked, and soon got on the car prepared by An Zhongfan in advance.

This visit and exchange were all arranged in advance. The car first drove to the Shilla Hotel where they stayed for a short rest, and then went directly to the Blue House in the afternoon.

"Boss, I heard that Kaka attaches great importance to this meeting. A grand banquet was specially arranged in the evening. The standard is very high, and it can almost match the state banquet."

Ni Ni checked the schedule that she had memorized over and over again, and was somewhat excited.

Ordinary people will never have the opportunity to come into contact with such a situation in their lifetime.

"You'd better not expect too much."

Zhou Yutang skillfully logged into Kakao and sent a message to Lin Yuner.

This software is equivalent to WeChat in South Korea, but Yuner is recording a variety show in Jeju Island and will not be back until tomorrow.

It was 2:50 pm that day.

The woman met with Alibaba director Mr. Ma and several vice directors, as well as a group of Jiangdong senior executives led by Zhou Yutang at the Blue House.

The relationship between the two sides is currently in a honeymoon period. Under the background of more frequent interactions, it is a general trend to promote deeper and more comprehensive cooperation between the two sides and encourage investment and exchanges.

The topic of this exchange was "Creating a New Era in Asia". The two sides exchanged views on cooperation in several fields such as e-commerce, games, and entertainment.

Jack Ma was the leader, and Zhou Yutang did not steal the show.

He gave the opportunity to show off to Mr. Ma.

The sales volume on Double Eleven broke through several billion at any time, which almost stunned the Koreans.

If Jack Ma is now the leader of the Chinese business world.

Then Zhou Yutang is probably the king of the Chinese entertainment industry, playing an important role in expanding the scope of cultural exchanges between the two sides.

He talked about this and that, and all he said were polite words.

It was not until the highest-level dinner that Zhou Yutang was able to open his eyes.

What about traditional South Korean bibimbap with tofu meatball soup, plus a table full of exquisitely arranged kimchi and spicy cabbage

It was simply unbearable to look at.

Pei Yun and Li Shuang were both relatively calm.

They had been to South Korea before, and Zhou Yutang had heard from Sister Shuang before that the canteens at South Korean universities were abnormal and ordinary people could never imagine it.

At least the steak was okay at the moment.

Teacher Ma and his friends were also stunned.

They hadn't even started the fight, but it seemed to be over.

The nuts and rice cakes at the back gave people the feeling of unlimited snacks in a 50-yuan buffet near the university.

Is this the high standard of a state banquet! ?

Ni Ni began to doubt her life.

Finally, after completing the process, Teacher Ma was still communicating with Mr. Li of Samsung.

Zhou Yutang took a closer look at Mr. Li, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked a bit elegant.

The old chairman of Samsung has clearly divided the family property. Li Fuzhen has taken over the family's entertainment, tourism and other industries, while the basic plate of Samsung will be handed over to this person.

Mr. Li also smiled back. He seemed to be quite interested in his sister's partner.

The two had little chance to communicate. Zhou Yutang looked at Ni Ni's hesitant expression and smiled softly: "Let's go to SBS TV station first, and then go back to the company later to meet the iceberg beauty, and then call Sister Shuang and Pei Yun to have supper together."

In the evening, Vice President Han accompanied them to eat this high-standard kimchi banquet.

Everyone was not full, but they all pretended to be satisfied.

You still have to do the superficial work, you can't just jump in the face.

Next, Vice President Han entertained Teacher Ma and arranged An Zhongfan to serve Zhou Yutang. They went to SBS TV station together first.

Zhou Yutang has cooperative relations with KBS and SBS in South Korea. Many variety shows and TV dramas are imported into South Korea through these two TV stations.

The travel variety show "Flower Series" is like this. It was broadcast on Mango TV and had good ratings, so it immediately made a killing.

Now Shanghai TV has launched "Sisters Over Flowers", which is exported to South Korea and earns foreign exchange.

On the way, An Zhongfan said, "President Zhou, I have something to ask you."

"Oh? Secretary An, just tell me."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fatty An smiled and said, "There is a chaebol friend whose daughter is a loyal fan of yours. She hopes to have a chance to take a photo with you."

Zhou Yutang looked at Fatty An meaningfully.

When a secretary does something, he must be sensible.

A great eunuch like Fatty An would never suddenly make such a request because of his personal relationship.

Then, there is only one possibility...

He is following his boss's idea, or the request of an important person around his boss.

"Okay."

Zhou Yutang understood and nodded slightly.

There is nothing much to say. Taking a photo will only take a few seconds at most. It will be gone in a flash.

After walking around the SBS TV station, he finally met the daughter of the chaebol.

Zhou Yutang glanced at her casually.

She is at most a few years older than Xiao Jinli, but she is wearing famous brands.

From the perspective of Jiangdong Grand Commander who has been through thousands of flowers, although this kimchi girl tried hard to squeeze out a smile that she thought was pure and sweet, her face and temperament could not hide her arrogance and arrogance.

That is the great sense of superiority brought to her by her family background.

Probably the kind of chaebol rich girl villain who bullies other female classmates in movies and TV dramas.

Faced with such a handsome face, and eyes that even dogs would find affectionate, the kimchi girl was so inexperienced that she was mesmerized and became mentally retarded.

But Zhou Yutang didn't want to get involved in trouble, so he took photos and kept his distance.

"President Zhou, I am looking forward to better cooperation with Jiangdong Entertainment."

Just now, they had a good chat, and old acquaintance SBS Deputy Director Li took the initiative to invite: "There will be a party later, I wonder if you have time?"

"Probably not."

Zhou Yutang glanced at his watch: "I have an important date later."

...

"Sister, the appointment time is almost up, why don't you go in earlier?"

Zheng Xiujing sat in Zheng Xiuyan's white Range Rover.

She couldn't understand why her sister, who was petite, liked to drive such a wild car.

She also couldn't understand why she arrived at the agreed place half an hour in advance, but didn't go in, just sat in the car and waited quietly.

"Ten more minutes."

Jung Soo-yeon checked her makeup, looked down at the time on her phone, and looked up at the brand new building outside the car window.

There are two floors underground, and the logo of the entertainment company on the ground is both flamboyant and eye-catching, with a strong sense of design.

Overall, it is not worse than the buildings of YG, JYP, and SM, the top entertainment companies in South Korea.

Korean media reported some time ago that the office building in Cheongdam-dong alone is worth more than 30 billion won.

Since Zhou Yutang took over, the land price has soared, at least it has risen by more than 2 billion won on the original basis.

Jung Soo-yeon gradually emptied her mind, thinking about how she had secretly asked someone to investigate Zhou Yutang in advance.

He is a star who is popular in Asia, a famous director with international reputation, and a Chinese chaebol with capital that Zheng Soo-yeon can't imagine.

This JD.Entertainment is just the tip of the iceberg of his assets.

Jiangdong Entertainment Headquarters is the leader of the Chinese entertainment industry, and its hit dramas are exported to South Korea, which has a huge influence.

Even the popular national variety show Running Man in South Korea is the result of his other company's behind-the-scenes operation.

Not to mention Zhou Yutang's film and television company in America, which has achieved nearly 1 billion US dollars in box office this year alone.

This is just what Zheng Xiuyan can investigate. There are many materials that she can't access at all.

Zheng Xiuyan sighed faintly while she was absent-minded.

Yoona is really lucky.

She even met such a man.

"Sister, hurry up, here it comes."

The bored sister Zheng Xiujing folded a pair of white feet under her buttocks, and her dark and bright eyes slid around, and suddenly shouted.

"Ah, Jung Soo-jung, do you want to die?"

Dragged back to reality by her sister's high-decibel voice, Jung Soo-yeon trembled slightly like a frightened rabbit: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Sister, I said, the one you are waiting for is here."

...

"President!"

"President!"

The sisters of the Zheng family witnessed the chaos at the gate of JD.Entertainment company, and then the order was restored.

According to their seniority and position, they stood from near to far, like subjects welcoming the emperor's return, bowing humbly and respectfully.

"Wow, big deal."

Jung Soo-jung's eyes sparkled as she watched the stretched luxury car parked at the gate of the company, and then the back door opened, and the tall figure walked out.

Watching Min Hee-jin and the company's senior executives escorting Zhou Yutang into the building, Jung Soo-yeon took out the small mirror in her bag and began to touch up her makeup again.

For some reason, she felt a little nervous when she thought about facing Zhou Yutang next.

"Xiujing, what do you think of my lipstick color?"

"Yes, it suits you very well, very beautiful."

Jryng Soo-jung said perfunctorily: "Don't be so conceited, let's go quickly, the appointment time is coming soon."

The front desk of JD.Entertainment seemed to have been prepared long ago, and led the Zheng sisters to the fourth-floor meeting room.

This was not the first time Zhou Yutang met Jessica.

I vaguely remember that when I went to South Korea for an announcement, I saw Girls' Generation coming to greet and salute in the backstage lounge, and she was in the team.

A very quiet and cold girl.

Later, I also saw the performance of this iceberg beauty on the spot.

Her stage presence is very stable and her strength is very strong.

It was also because after the background check in advance, various specific data analysis showed that she would probably be in the top three in popularity ranking in the group, and might bring considerable profits to the company, so Zhou Yutang decided to take this deal.

Today she wore a pure black low-necked base shirt with a blue high-waisted denim skirt, which was simple and mature, and very fashionable.

"What would you like to drink, coffee or juice?" Zhou Yutang said in English.

"Thank you, a glass of iced Americano."

This iceberg beauty speaks fluent English.

After all, she has a green card and grew up in America since she was a child, so there must be no problem in communication.

"What about you?"

"My name is Zheng Xiujing."

"I asked you what you drink."

". Like her."

The beautiful girl who originally looked quite cold, looked shy and cramped, as if she had a little social phobia: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, we met in China last time."

"Do you still remember me?" Zheng Xiujing looked a little surprised.

"You are the youngest member of the Song Qian group."

Zhou Yutang has always had a good memory.

He remembered the members of the Song Qian group, including Xueli, and the little Shuijing he met at an event in China last time. He heard that she was his fangirl.

Just after they sat down and talked for a few words, coffee was brought in.

Through Song Qian, Zhou Yutang led the entire conversation rhythm until the Zheng sisters were not so tense, and then cut to the point,

"About the contract, won't your family come to listen together?"

"My business."

Jung Soo-yeon said firmly: "You can make the decision yourself."

"Why come here early."

Zhou Yutang's fingers tapped lightly in a rhythmic manner: "You have been waiting downstairs for so long, and you don't come up?"

A smile suddenly bloomed on the face of this iceberg beauty: "I don't want to burden you."
