Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Boss, Brother Tai has taken people to receive alms."

Back in the office, Ni Ni made a cup of hot tea, placed it in front of Zhou Yutang, and helped him tidy up the messy documents.

"Um."

Zhou Yutang lowered his head and sent a message to Liu Tianxian, saying smoothly: "It's okay, go back and get some rest early, there's only one hour left in the evening."

I'm going to talk to Zhang Yiming about Douyin tonight.

When Mr. Ma was at the height of his power and gave speeches everywhere and regretted founding Alibaba, the Byte Department was developing equally rapidly this year.

Since recruiting Yang Zhenyuan, a general from Baidu, he has also recruited a group of machine learning algorithm engineers from the core departments of major companies.

Not just domestic.

Even high-end technical talents from large companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have recruited digital talents with high salaries.

I have the momentum to bring all the heroes in the world into my arms.

In addition, Toutiao Artificial Intelligence Laboratory was just established this year.

The most important move is to launch Douyin during the Spring Festival.

This is Zhou Yutang's most important layout.

Liu Shishi is a special elevator that goes up from the underground garage.

Because there are Yu Ji squatting in the grass under Jiangdong Building all year round.

In the next two people's world, she gave Taozi a holiday. In order to avoid trouble, she preferred to keep a low profile.

Counting the floor numbers in the elevator, I reached the ninth floor without any obstruction.

It's past nine o'clock now, and most of Jiangdong's employees have already gotten off work, and the corridor is very quiet.

The voices of voices could be heard faintly. The wall lamps inlaid on the walls were quite artistic. The soft and bright lights shone down, making her shadow grow longer.

Liu Shishi suddenly stepped forward a little childishly, playing with his own shadow.

"Shi Shi?"

Mao Xiaoyu's voice of joyful surprise made Liu Shishi stop. He raised his plain little face with a gentle smile: "Xiaoyu, why haven't you got off work yet?"

"I just have something to discuss with Nini. Where is Taozi?"

"Give Taozi a holiday."

Liu Shishi felt a little emotional. Mao Xiaoyu, who was a little immature back then, is now visibly mature.

It is not difficult to see this from her temperament. In the past, most of the time she wore T-shirts, jeans, white shoes and other outfits that were more youthful.

Nowadays, a professional suit has the style of an elite office woman.

However, he was as enthusiastic as ever. Mao Xiaoyu took Liu Shishi to the rest area in the middle section to talk, "The company has a meeting today, and there are a lot of things."

"Awesome, Xiaoyu, now he is a senior executive of Jiangdong." Liu Shishi joked.

"Ouch, Sister Shi Shi, please don't say that."

Mao Xiaoyu made a speechless expression: "I am a vanguard under the boss. Your wife, the governor, please give me a few good words."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're going to die."

"Oh, Sister Shi Shi, I know I was wrong."

While Zhou Yutang was talking about something, Mao Xiaoyu was very discerning and chatted with the first sister, mainly because he was afraid that she would be bored.

When she received the news from inside, she would leave work.

Liu Shishi walked in the wind and saw Ni Ni sitting at his work station with a serious expression from a distance.

Hit the keyboard every now and then.

"She works so hard."

Liu Shishi was filled with respect in his heart, but when he got closer and took a closer look, he almost fainted. It turned out that he was playing a fish game.

Plants vs. zombies, the bullets are spitting out very fast.

In the end, the surging tide of corpses was not blocked. Ni Ni raised his eyes and saw Liu Shishi, stood up, gathered the tail of her skirt, and smiled sweetly: "Shi Shi, just go in when the boss asks you to come. I'll get off work first."

…

"Huoshan Video continues to promote, sniping Kuaishou, and the headlines' Watermelon Video benchmarks instant shooting

Douyin is the top priority and we will build a short video matrix at any cost.”

When Liu Shishi came in, he happened to hear Zhou Yutang talking, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Apart from Zhang Yiming, who I had met many times, there were two other people in the office.

The eyes of the three people turned as Zhou Yutang stood up, and finally fell on the two people hugging each other gently.

Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?

You asked us to come to a meeting, but didn’t you hear that we had to eat dog food?

Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "Hello, Shi Shi."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

A touch of rouge flashed on Liu Shishi's face.

"Here, let me introduce you."

Zhou Yutang took Liu Shishi to sit next to him and introduced them one by one: "Liang Rubo, you can call him Mr. Liang."

"Zhang Nan, the volcano video you watched was made by her."

"Mr. Liang, Sister Nan, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Liu Shishi greeted them one by one generously.

"Don't bother me, we're done talking."

Both of them also liked this woman with a gentle smile and sitting quietly next to Zhou Yutang.

Despite his status as a big star, Liu Shishi doesn't have the slightest bit of domineering power about him. He looks like a little girl, very approachable.

As a core member of Byte's senior management, I came here with Zhang Yiming today to discuss Douyin's strategic layout.

"Huoshan Video focuses on the sinking market, and its foundation is not as good as Kuaishou. Musical.ly already has a considerable number of users abroad."

"The two people from Musical.ly will join ByteDance after the year, both at home and abroad. I want to be the number one in the industry within two years..."

Liu Shishi listened quietly to the discussion of several people. Of course, the most important thing was that his eyes fell on Zhou Yutang.

It is said that a man is most attractive when he is working hard.

Liu Shishi was convinced.

At this time, Zhou Yutang was full of strong confidence and domineering, and his body seemed to be glowing.

"Videos shot by yourself, paired with music, and quickly created 15-second short videos. The content includes but is not limited to talent shows and comedy..."

It sounds interesting, and Liu Shishi also knows that many short video apps have been released in recent years.

For example, Kuaishou, as well as this year’s Xiaoka Show and Miaopai, have invited many celebrities to advertise.

This new track seems to be the key strategy of Jiangdong Entertainment in the next stage. Liu Shishi was thinking wildly in his mind until Zhang Yiming took the two of them away.

After the unbridled tenderness, Liu Shishi supported the man's chest with both hands, and his cheeks turned red as he talked about business operations, which made Zhou Yutang look at him with admiration. It was rare that she was interested, so she said a few more words,

"Tencent and Toutiao have started a war this year, and several portals seem to be targeting Toutiao..."

"So what? Toutiao's personalized algorithm recommendations lead the industry..."

Gone are the days of the three portals having unlimited success.

The development of Toutiao has not been smooth sailing, but it has been forced to fight its way out of the blockage of the three major portals.

To some extent, even Sina Weibo competes with Toutiao.

Because Toutiao is also constantly optimizing its advertising strategy, it has launched a personalized recommendation information flow advertising model, and accurately delivers ads based on users' interests and behaviors, which actually seizes a large part of Sina Weibo's traffic.

Mr. Cao had a headache and ran towards Jiangdong Building.

But as far as Zhou Yutang is concerned, Weibo now plays a small role in his industrial layout.

——If it wasn’t for the late start, he even had the idea of ​​replacing Sina Weibo.

Later, I thought that my energy was really limited, so I gave up and jointly owned Weibo with Tian Ming, which was just a part of controlling public opinion.

Forums such as Hupu have Jiangdong Venture Capital behind them.

"No wonder I searched "Detective Chinatown" and found a lot of similar news."

“Even if you don’t search, there will be similar news pushed to you.”

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly.

Runwu quietly controls public opinion and lets people see what they want to see.

The omni-channel marketing of the Koto series is quite powerful, which is one of the key reasons why "Detective Chinatown" became a phenomenon.

"You know, Lao Hu recently fell in love with a girl from Beiwu. I heard that his family is quite rich."

"Lao Hu's drama is finished?"

"I took time off to participate in an event, and was photographed."

"."

Hu Ge was not an innocent boy to begin with, and he never lacked women around him.

Liu Shishi was so eager to share that he pulled Zhou Yutang to sit on the sofa in the office and chat.

Zhou Yutang's hands were not idle either. The legs wrapped in black stockings and leggings felt fuller.

Not long after, the coat had been thrown on the sofa aside, and the collar was torn open by someone, revealing a greasy groove.

The two of them are an old married couple, and the classic red and blue nightshade skins have been unlocked. In this regard, they have a perfect understanding.

"Don't do this."

The swan neck was moved back, and his face was as red as cinnabar. Liu Shishi weakly pushed Zhou Yutang with his small hands, his voice was gentle and gentle, and he finally maintained his remaining sanity:

"There is surveillance."

"Now, it's gone."

Zhou Yutang magically took out a remote control, pressed a button, and several cameras fell asleep together.

He put his arms around Liu Shishi's shoulders, held her legs with one hand, lifted her light body up, and walked slowly into the gentle hometown that Nazha loved most...

"On the 22nd day of its release, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" exceeded 3 billion. It has the best schedule for high reputation and praise, setting a record for the highest box office of domestic movies!"

The start was explosive and the stamina was strong.

Zhou Yutang, who is firmly seated as the New Year King, is now the most popular figure in the entire entertainment industry.

During the same period, the total box office of "Old Paoer", which grabbed the Lunar New Year slot, was fixed at 975 million, firmly ranking second on the Lunar New Year list.

Even "The Angel", a collaboration between Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, has a box office of 649 million. On the contrary, "Tomb Raiders" has a terrible reputation, which has backfired on the movie box office. It happened to meet such a strong opponent as "Tang Detective", and the box office declined. A crashing decline.

The box office only reached 584 million, and it was unsustainable, which was shocking.

I originally thought that with at least one billion guaranteed, I would be able to snipe "Tang Detective", but no one expected that it would end in such a dismal outcome.

Countless filmmakers and production companies in the industry have long expected the strong performance of "Detective Chinatown".

But when they saw the box office figures with their own eyes, they were still shocked.

As Zhou Yutang said, the ticket sales of domestic movies have entered the era of 3 billion.

Moreover, the number of theaters and screens is increasing day by day, making the Chinese film market more in-depth.

What a scene full of vitality and all things competing!

Xiaogangpao, one of the three major directors, chose to start filming years ago and took the crew of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" to Huangshan, Anhui for filming.

There were media stills leaked that day.

The mountains are covered with heavy snow, and Teacher Fan, dressed as a country woman, stands in the snow like a cold plum.

Liu Shishi only stayed in the capital for two days, and he had another announcement to make.

She felt a little bit reluctant to leave, but next week was the Tang Dynasty Annual Meeting and the Station B Starlight Awards, so she couldn't be too disappointed to be able to get together again.

This is what the profession of celebrity is like.

Except for those who are too busy at home to pick their feet, all the popular celebrities will basically have a full schedule by the end of the year.

This is especially true for Liu Shishi as the most popular female star.

Zhou Yutang is different. He no longer needs to rely on business announcements to show off his status.

But as the helmsman of the Koto clan, some entertainment is always inevitable.

I attended several company annual meetings, and just came out of the Guangguang Annual Meeting Hotel in the evening. I was scrolling through Moments in the car, and came across the news from the official account of the Film Academy forwarded by Zhou Ye.

In 2016, the School of Performance will reduce enrollment across the board, with the number of places reduced from 50 last year to 45 this year.

This is also the lowest enrollment in the past five years.

However, so far, the number of applicants has exceeded 10,000.

It feels a bit like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Everyone wants to be a star.

They say it’s for art, maybe partly out of ideals.

But the most direct reason is to enter the Vanity Fair and stand out.

Entering the Beijing Film Academy is the first step.

After all, Governor Zhou is now the face of the film academy.

Many of Koto's artists came from film schools.

As long as you can get into Nortel, you might have a chance to be spotted by the Governor, and then stand on the cusp of the storm and take off?

There are not a few young people who have this idea.

Because Zhou Yutang can be regarded as the spiritual leader of the younger generation today. Through his hands, he has created too many miracles, which happened in front of everyone.

When she first debuted, Zhao Liying was just a round-faced little girl. Now she is one of the most popular girls.

Zhang Tianai was originally an eighteenth-tier female artist, but she was promoted by Zhou Yutang and became so red that she became hot.

Zhou Yutang just left a message to support Zhou Ye, but he didn't expect to receive a reply very quickly.

It starts with a few cute emoticons.

Congee Ye also said: "Congratulations on the weekly box office exceeding 3 billion, and it can be even higher!"

Porridge is also Zhou Ye's WeChat nickname. He has the youthful vigor that a girl of this age should have, but also carefully restrains his kindness and desire for expression.

Zhou Yutang found it interesting: "Have you registered for the art exam?"

"Register online."

Qiu also replied immediately: "This year is the first time that the film academy's art exam adopts online registration."

"That's quite convenient."

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you might be the examiner for this year's preliminary exam?"

Zhou Ye sent the message, but felt something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to use the back door, I was just curious!"

This time, there was no reply after a minute. The corners of her mouth that had been raised with excitement dropped again, and she felt inexplicably depressed and uneasy:

"Isn't Zhou Yutang disgusted with himself because he mentioned this?"

She really didn't have any thoughts about this. Although she was a little nervous, the teachers in the art exam training class said so.

Under her conditions, it wasn't a big problem.

Three minutes later, there was still no reply.

Zhou Ye's thoughts were complex and he seemed to want to explain something more, but he didn't know what to say.

It was a bit aggrieved.

She only cares about gains and losses, but Neptune has many more things to consider.

Zhou Yutang, who had just replied to Liu Yifei, Zhang Ruonan, Yang Mi and other messages, finally responded.

Then I saw the dialog box change from "Inputting" to the input status disappearing. After a few seconds, it changed to "Inputting" again and disappeared again.

In the end, Zhou Yutang only sent three emoticons of people sitting on the ground crying, which made Zhou Yutang find it quite funny and continued to reply to the message.

"Dean Zhang told me about this. I was busy, so I pushed it aside."

In the past, I was proud to be a student of the film school, but now it is the film school that takes advantage of the governor.

As for the film academy, they have approached him several times. Every year, they visit Jiangdong to invite Zhou Lang for the film academy's repertoire.

If we can hire this god, the film school will definitely make money. Even if we can't hire him, it won't be a loss.

He also said hello to Dean Zhang of the Acting School for Zhang Ruonan, and they actually talked about it today.

The big red banner announcing that "Tang Detective" has exceeded 3 billion in box office has been put up. When the time comes, Dean Zhang is planning to make another human-shaped sign and place it at the school gate.

Zhou Ye, who was lying listlessly on the bed, suddenly saw the phone screen light up again and sat up.

Congee Ye: "I thought you were angry. o(*￣︶￣*)o"

"This year's preliminary examination has five examiners. In addition to the teachers of the school, there are also social examiners. Lots will be drawn on the same day. The results of the preliminary examination will not be carried into the re-examination, and the results of the re-examination will not be carried into the third examination."

"What is a social examiner? Doubt/DoubtJPG"

"This is a document requirement from the Ministry of Education, and experts are invited from outside the school."

Zhou Yutang smiled and chatted with her about the art exam.

The first test is a three-minute self-selected poem recitation. The second test is the same as the first test. The highest score and the lowest score are removed. The average score of the remaining three examiners is the candidate's final score.

"Have you taken the art exam training class?"

"Uh-huh."

"Those things are of no use to you. Keep a good attitude and show your truest self. Don't wear makeup on the day of the exam. You must wear tight clothes and flat shoes for the physical examination."

"Thanks."

Zhou Yutang's careful instructions made Zhou Ye feel warm and inexplicably moved.

In fact, consolation aside, this art exam is not difficult for Zhou Ye at all.

Because she is a Pisces girl.

Many things are already predetermined.

She was spotted by the Grand Governor of Jiangdong when she was just in high school, and she starred in two Jiangdong dramas in succession.

As long as Zhou Ye's cultural course scores are good, the doors of the three major art colleges in China will be open for her.

At the end of the year, the entertainment industry is keen on making various inventories and lists, including the income of celebrities.

Except for the unfathomable Grand Governor, he is automatically excluded.

According to incomplete statistics, Milk Tea Zhou's cumulative income is as high as 120 million, ranking first among celebrities in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

The most profitable female star is not Teacher Fan, nor Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.

Da Mimi came from behind and topped the income list of female stars in China!

Yang Mi was also a Pisces girl, and it was widely circulated on the Internet. This year, the Mixing Company has grown, and the shadow of Governor Zhou is also behind it.

Now Zhou Yutang is the national husband, and in the minds of countless girls, he is the shortcut to success.

"Atang, congratulations on the big sales of "Detective Chinatown", which has set a new record in the total list of Chinese movies."

In late January, Huo Wenxi came to Jiangdong Building and sent his congratulations with a smile.

"Sister Mani, how is the progress of "Operation Mekong"?"

Zhou Yutang asked about the filming of "Operation Mekong".

The filming of Tyrande was completed at the beginning of the month, and some actors have also finished filming, including the son of Chen Baoguo, the flying emperor.

The Chongzhen Emperor, who had to train his body to be like a crane in the Ming Dynasty, played the big leader of the Six Gates Headquarters in the movie this time.

Zhou Yutang also nodded to his request to bring his son into the group for gilding.

Of course, it was an insignificant small role.

It's okay to do a favor, but he will definitely not joke about his own project.

The next big war scene is the top priority of this movie.

In addition, there is a scene to be filmed at the Six Gates headquarters. It is estimated that it will not be filmed until the overseas scenes are completed after the new year, and then they can return to China.

After talking about "Operation Mekong", Huo Wenxi mentioned the next two film projects.

That is, the film about the gangsters of the underworld that Zhou Yutang gave to Wang Pangzi, "Chu Hao" and Lei Luo, and a film adapted from a comic book, "Kowloon Walled City".

"Sister Mani, Director Wang just talked to me last night, and the script needs to be revised."

"Both films are given to Wang Jing?"

"For "Kowloon Walled City", Wang Jing is not suitable."

Zhou Yutang shook his head slightly: "Let's see if Director Chen Musheng has time."

Wang Jing has shot many types of movies, and is not good at shooting hard bridges and hard horses.

There are many directors in Hong Kong who can shoot this type of film.

For example, Director Chen Musheng, who has worked with Zhou Yutang for many years, and Zheng Baorui, the director of "SPL".

"OK, let me talk to you about who you want to hire."

It's very comfortable to communicate with a woman with high emotional intelligence. Huo Wenxi made his attitude clear, that is, to follow Zhou Yutang's opinion.

The subject matter of Hong Kong movies is limited, the plate is too small, and the upper limit is visible to the naked eye.

These two projects are only rated A- within Jiangdong Company. In Zhou Yutang's opinion, he doesn't care much, at most he will give Xie Miao a thumbs up.

But for Huo Wenxi, it is the most important thing.

Yinghuang has already held a media conference to the outside world, and officially announced on the spot that it will cooperate with Jiangdong on two film projects, which has attracted a lot of attention.

Zhou Yutang took the time to look through the work report submitted by the executive director Lao Suan, and nodded with satisfaction.

Usually, some people who enter the entertainment industry will have better stage names.

For example, the beautiful woman with the moon-like smiling eyes, her original name was Li Xue, which was a bit mediocre.

She took the stage name Li Yitong and was signed by Shangshi Films. She first starred in Ode to Joy and then in the new Return of the Condor Heroes directed by Guo Jingyu. She was chosen to play the role of Huang Rong. It can be said that her road to stardom was smooth.

But Zhou Yutang was still slightly stunned when he saw someone with the stage name Lao Suan for the first time.

The name was a bit strange, but the report was quite organized, and it also included his own experience and feelings with the group.

Lin Chaoxian and Chen Musheng are also the most famous directors in Hong Kong, especially their best action scenes and large-scale explosion scenes, which happen to be the weak points of mainland directors.

Zhou Yutang is intentionally cultivating the next generation of young directors.

Lao Suan is like this, and so is Guo Hu, another executive director in The Lonely and Great God.

He is not too young.

Guo Hu is a disciple brought up by Lin Yufen, and became the executive director of The Journey of Flower.

He works hard and has strong professional ability.

The most important thing is that he has a good character, never does anything weird, coordinates the crew, and just wants to do the project well.

All of this.

Zhou Yutang saw it all, and he has a scale in his heart.

Including Lao Suan, Guo Hu and others.

They can all be of great use in the future.
