Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The total box office of "The Mermaid" in China is only one step away from breaking the total box office record of "Detective Chinatown".

The 5.3 million viewers in South Korea can be said to be icing on the cake.

As one of the main producers of "The Mermaid", Zhou Yutang undoubtedly made a lot of money.

The hosts of the variety show "Knowing Brothers" couldn't help but tremble when they heard this earth-shattering revenue figure.

And this is just one of the film and television projects Zhou Yutang participated in.

The film and television projects produced by Jiangdong Entertainment are even more amazing.

For example, the recently popular "Celebrating Yu Nian 3" is not only a double explosion in China, Taiwan and the Internet, but also popular in Asia, and its influence is also impressive, which are all considerable economic benefits.

"Wait a minute, President, how do you know the situation of our company?"

Everyone in the classroom was amazed, but Kim Heechul suddenly thought of something and pretended to be horrified: "Do you want to acquire our company?"

"Heechul, that's a good thing."

Jiang Hudong took the opportunity to say: "President Zhou is here to save you."

"That's right, look at Yoona, look at IU, they are now the most popular actresses in the film and television industry." Lee Soo Geun laughed and made fun of him.

"President Zhou is known as God's vision. As long as he sees someone, he will succeed." Retired basketball player Xu Zhangxun also followed suit.

This man was once a pillar of South Korean basketball. He had played against three centers, Wang Zhizhi, Bater, and Yao Ming.

After retiring, he came to do variety shows. He is an old friend of Yang Juhua from YG Company, whom Zhou Yutang had just met last night.

Don't look at the silly big guy who is more than two meters tall. He is quite artistic.

The classroom was noisy, Zhou Yutang looked helpless, Kim Heechul came over quietly and asked in a low voice, "President, do you think I have a chance to become an actor?"

He stroked his long hair, deliberately covered his eyelids with his fingers, and posed in a posture that he thought was very deep and handsome.

"At present, there is no such possibility."

Zhou Yutang looked at him and directly shattered his dream of becoming an actor.

His smile stiffened a little bit, solidified on his face, and finally slowly disappeared and moved to everyone's face.

IU covered her mouth and laughed secretly, and Lee Soo-geun and others laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward, teasing him, a traitor of SM, like a world-famous painting.

As Jiang Hudong laughed, he admired him very much in his heart.

In addition to his impeccable handsome appearance and the aura of a superior who could not be concealed, Zhou Yutang actually grasped the effect of the program very well.

It is worthy of being the king of variety shows who created "The Voice of China", "Running Man", "Flower" and other ace variety shows!

The program's chief PD was even more excited. The recording of this episode started, and there were constant laughs. The ratings were definitely worth looking forward to.

In fact, Kim Heechul had a good relationship with Lin Yuner. Knowing that Zhou Yutang was going to be on the show, he asked Lin Yuner to say hello in advance.

He was originally from the SJ boy group, that is, the teammate of the first generation of returning top streamer Han Geng, and the two had a good relationship.

I am a pretty boy with a feminine appearance. After transforming into a variety show host, I began to let myself go.

Everyone sneered and ridiculed, but Kim Heechul was not hit at all. He said shamelessly: "President, why, give me a chance, I can do anything."

"Then just act out a segment in "Broken Tomb."

Zhou Yutang randomly selected a segment and asked IU and Kim Heechul to improvise on the spot.

He took this variety show to promote the movie. The topic in the front was focused on him, and he had to find shots for IU.

Kim Heechul has not received professional acting training. His performance can be said to be quite picky and funny, and he can't catch up with IU's play at all.

Zhou Yutang commented ruthlessly: "It's better not to hurt the audience's eyes. In fact, being a variety show host is also good."

Kim Heechul drooped his head, like a cabbage damaged by the sun, and completely lost his spirit.

"Haha."

Seeing him being humiliated, Jiang Hudong and others all laughed.

"What about IU's acting skills?"

"IU received a lot of basic training to improve her acting skills, and her level is pretty good among her peers." Zhou Yutang said truthfully.

This is a topic that can increase IU's impression points.

Just imagine, a talented girl, relying on her own diligence and hard work to gain the favor of nobles, and then achieve success, will undoubtedly be recognized by the public.

From the standpoint of an old predecessor, Jiang Hudong also expressed his affirmation to IU. Everyone nodded in agreement, but IU was a little embarrassed to praise him.

At this moment, after Jiang Hudong finished mocking Jin Xiche, his eyes turned and he suddenly directed the topic to Zhou Yutang.

"Chairman Zhou, if you stand in your position, Yoona and IU, who has better acting skills?"

"Yes, Yoona and IU, if you have to choose one, who is better."

The broken-hearted Jin Xiche said loudly, and several hosts such as Lee Soo Geun and Seo Jang Hoon echoed him, hoping that the world would not be in chaos.

It's not a day or two since Lin Yuner and Zhou Yutang were rumored to have a scandal. Not long ago, she was promoting a movie in China and was photographed eating supper with the Grand Commander.

Although there is a public relations press release to explain, everyone in the circle knows what's going on.

On one side is his own baby cash cow, and on the other side is the rumored girlfriend. No matter which one Zhou Yutang chooses, it seems inappropriate.

IU's smile is still sweet, but with her hands behind her back, her body sways gently, and she winks at Zhou Yutang.

The action was concealed, but it was discovered by the cunning Jiang Hudong, who pointed it out on the spot, "What are you doing? This is a foul!"

Kim Heechul pulled his huge body and blocked IU and Zhou Yutang, saying righteously: "Jie Eun, don't interfere with President Zhou's judgment, be fair!"

"If you have to say, the full score is 100 points. At present, both of them are probably between 60 and 70 points?"

Zhou Yutang said calmly: "It depends on the specific role adaptation. It will not exceed this score range. IU's upper limit is higher."

As an international director who has won three major awards in Europe, Zhou Yutang is naturally qualified to evaluate the acting skills of these two people.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Lin Yoona, who debuted as an idol in a girl group, can only take on the kind of vase role. Her performance in "The Mermaid" is somewhat artificial, and her acting plasticity is worse than IU.

"Only 60~70 points?" Jiang Hudong widened his eyes.

"Chairman Zhou's requirements are really strict."

Kim Heechul also suddenly realized: "IU acted very well in "The Tomb Raider", at least 90 points."

IU had a hurt expression on her face. Zhou Yutang touched her head and comforted her: "Ji Eun, hold more concerts in the future. Your fans should like to listen to your singing."

"The chairman wants IU to hold concerts and make money for the company, right?" Jiang Hudong seemed to have discovered a blind spot.

"Ji Eun has made a lot of money, how is her income?"

"Thanks to the chairman, it's not bad."

IU pursed her lips. Zhou Yutang was trying to get shots for her. How could she not understand?

The show continued. Discussing the income of artists was also the main topic of today's show. As a member of a boy band, Kim Heechul revealed a lot of information.

He didn't catch up with the good times. SJ was very popular in the past few years, but the money he made was not much. It was only in recent years that he got better.

Compared to IU who was sent to the peak by Zhou Yutang, it was far behind.

The group has to share the money with the members, but IU, who debuted as a solo artist, earns all the money for herself.

For example, a concert has 20,000 people.

Based on the average ticket price of 800, that is 16 million in revenue.

Of course, we have to deduct the cost of the concert and other miscellaneous expenses, and the company will get about half of the net income, which is 8 million.

If it is the group Girls' Generation, the 8 million is divided equally among the members, and each person will get a few hundred thousand.

The current IU contract is a 50-50 split, which means 4 million in revenue.

This is 208 times the amount, and she is definitely a top artist in South Korea.

But concerts are not held every day. This year, IU's Asian tour at the beginning of the year has been scheduled to continue in Yokohama, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and other places.

Every year, she earns at least eight figures from concerts alone, plus the copyright of the sound source, and business endorsements, etc., which is even envious of Lin Yuner.

The program "Knowing Brothers" is not a very competitive program, and the main theme is relaxation.

Chatting, joking, playing games, and even letting IU dance a girl group dance, it was already seven o'clock in the evening when the program recording was finished.

Zhou Yutang hosted the entire program team to have a dinner at Yujian Hot Pot Restaurant in Gangnam District, Seoul.

For IU, these two days were like a dream.

Knowing that Zhou Yutang was going back to China tomorrow, she felt a little reluctant in her heart. In the evening, she was particularly proactive and kissed Zhou Yutang from the quiet corridor of the hotel.

When the door was closed, it was even more uncontrollable.

From the bathroom to the sofa, and then to the king-sized bed.

She seemed to crush herself in Zhou Yutang's body.

"Oppa, what is our relationship now?"

Looking at Zhou Yutang replying to the message, IU asked this question with expectation on her face. Zhou Yutang's fingers lingered on the pointed and even cheeks like a goose, and smiled gently: "You are my woman."

"How many women do you have?"

IU had already made a psychological assumption that her boss Zhou Yutang, apart from the dazzling halo, is essentially a man with a romantic personality.

But it is very different from those chaebols she saw who crossed the line and used their power to play with women at will.

She even knew that she was beautifying Zhou Yutang out of some psychological effect, but making such a choice was also the result of her careful consideration. At this time, she was a little curious.

"Here, besides Yoona, there is only you."

Zhou Yutang's reply was as frank as always.

Even in front of Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei, he was the same, at most restraining the fact that he was a sea king.

"There's only one?"

IU looked Zhou Yutang up and down with a strange look: "I often surf the Internet, and there are reports that oppa has relationships with FX's Song Qian, Red Velvet's Bae Joo-hyun, and Girls' Generation's Jessica.

Even the entire Tara is your mistress. It seems that there was a rumor about oppa and Yang Chaoyue who is very popular recently last month. Is it really that kind of relationship?"

"Pah!"

Listening to IU's explosive scandals one by one, Zhou Yutang's face appeared black lines, and he slapped her on her perky buttocks.

"Oppa, why did you hit me?"

IU's acting class was not in vain, and her tearful expression was very natural: "You can't bully me just because I'm super cute."

"Stop acting."

Zhou Yutang said amusedly: "Do you think I have so much time?"

Fish farming is also a technical job. Not only does it require a strong body, but it also requires good time management. The most important thing is to provide emotional value to women.

It looks effortless on the surface, but it is actually not a simple matter. Zhou Yutang put a lot of thought into it in private.

IU thought of Chairman Zhou, who had a busy schedule since landing in South Korea, and expressed her understanding.

When you are around this man, you realize how busy he is, the local cowards who show kindness to him, and the celebrities who humble and flatter him.

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, then he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, kissed her innocent cheek, and said in a domineering voice:

"If you want to have a boyfriend and get married in the future, tell me in advance that I don't like my woman to be entangled with other men at the same time."

"Oppa, don't worry, I know what I should do."

IU, who has been sensible for a long time, took the initiative to sit on Zhou Yutang's body and suddenly asked: "Then when I miss Oppa, can I go to China to find you?"

"Of course, let's go change into the student skirt first."

"."

[The viewing scene of "The Broken Tomb" was very popular, and the governor came out to trigger a collective climax among the pickle girls! 】

["Broken Tomb" is expected to hit tens of millions of moviegoers, and is the hottest booking of the year in South Korea! 】

[Zhou Yutang and South Korean sister IU were photographed dating in private! 】

In early March, just such a headline had already caused shocking waves on the Internet in China and South Korea.

Zhou Yutang's trip to South Korea is no secret. He and Ni Ni appeared in IU's concert, and their Douyin videos were also very popular.

I was so excited that I even ran up to sing.

It's just that such a scandal contains not only a rather ambiguous description, but also many unclear pictures.

There are photos of IU smiling sweetly and turning to look at Zhou Yutang with eyes that are almost twitching; there are photos of the two of them walking side by side after getting out of the car when attending an event together; there are also photos of hugs that create a great atmosphere on the concert stage.

I have to say that there are talents among this generation of fans.

The angle of the picture selection is quite tricky, and the two people always look a bit like a couple in an intimate atmosphere.

IU's UAENA and Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Navy had a direct conflict.

For fans of IU's husband, their hearts are broken this time. In their eyes, Zhou Yutang may have become a devil-like existence.

However, many UAENAs actually posted clearly expressing their support for the two to be together.

South Korea is such a realistic society.

Financial status determines everything. In the eyes of these fans, IU has become a phoenix by flying on the branches of a chaebol.

The base of the Koto Navy is larger than that of UAENA, but they are basically all fun-loving people.

I have just finished digesting the sibling relationship between Zhou Yutang and Yang Mi, and I have tasted new melons happily in the past two days.

"The local paparazzi in South Korea have something. Judging by their eyes, it really doesn't look fake."

"First, the second-generation beauty Lin Yuner, and the little queen IU also won. It is the duty of Governor Zhou to bring glory to the country."

"So, here's the question, if you were Zhou Yutang, who would you choose between IU and Yoona?"

"I choose Lin Yoona. The beauty of the second generation girl group is no joke."

"IU, it's really the ceiling of pure desire."

"I want all jpgs."

Zhou Yutang, Tianxian, Yi Jie, Yang Mi, etc. are all old lovers, and they have done a lot of desensitization marketing. Although the popularity is not low, it lacks a bit of novelty after all.

This time it is about the scandal with South Korean queen IU. China’s Tieba, Weibo, and major forums are full of discussion posts about this topic, and it has even become a current social topic.

It just so happened that the goddess Tang Wei's marriage to a foreign woman broke the hearts of many people. Not long ago, she announced her pregnancy to the outside world. Now Zhou Yutang took decisive action and gave a powerful counterattack. If he wins another victory, he can be regarded as earning enough face for domestic entertainment. , Chinese netizens who eat melons are very proud.

The situation in South Korea was even more chaotic. Many South Korean media who wanted to interview the Governor were in a hurry.

However, the Governor of Jiangdong, who quietly returned to Beijing on a private plane, did not take the matter to heart and calmed Yoona's mood a little.

Because she has to take into account her group activities and her personal schedule, Yoona's schedule after the new year is also very tight.

After the extension key for "Mermaid" was approved, Zhou Xingxing recently started the second round of film roadshow promotion, and Yoona will have a Chinese schedule by then.

Zhou Yutang didn't even need to worry. His public relations team responded immediately and jointly issued a statement with IU's management team. The two were good friends in private.

"The box office of Xingye's new film "Mermaid" has exceeded 3.2 billion, breaking the peak box office record of 3.125 billion held by "Detective Chinatown" directed by Zhou Yutang!"

"China Film Group issued a statement stating that the release key of the film will now be extended to June 8!"

""The Storm 3" grossed 1.123 billion at the box office, ranking third during the Spring Festival!"

"The total box office of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King and the White Bone Demon" was 1.225 billion, ranking second on the Spring Festival list!"

The excitement of the Spring Festival stalls has finally come to an end, with "The Wind and Cloud 3" being steadily overshadowed by "Journey to the West: The Monkey King Three Fights against the Bone Demon".

Both parties applied for extension keys, but all were rejected. During the Spring Festival this year, Star Master was finally officially crowned.

La Peikang played a big trick. One month's postponement was not enough. He doubled it and postponed it for four months. The purpose was to continue to push up the box office.

The industry was full of criticism, all because of the ugly appearance of Yin Yang La Chairman.

"Mr. Zhou, is your relationship with IU true?"

"We are just good friends."

"Then the record of "Detective Chinatown" was broken by Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" after less than a month. What do you want to say about this?"

"The box office record is just a number to me. Congratulations to Stephen Chow."

When attending the seminar, Zhou Yutang was inevitably blocked by reporters and asked about this matter.

Although he was suspected of adding fuel to the fire, he did not take it to heart at all, but sent congratulations.

With his status, he did not need to rely on box office records to raise his status.

At this time, he had removed the shackles of being the best in the world, but felt relieved. It was Liu Shishi who knew the cold and the heat and took the initiative to comfort him.

The box office of "The Mermaid" is still growing slowly. In the next Chinese film market, a group of imported blockbusters are eyeing it.

Warner has already notified that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will hold a press conference in China.

Then the creators of The Revenant, which won Leo an Oscar, also set a schedule for promotion in China, and Summit Entertainment's Gods of War: Eyes of Power will be released one after another.

There is also a movie called The True Love Formula for a Female Tomboy, which is invested by a Shanghai Film and Television Company and starred by Zhao Liying, and is also scheduled for mid-March.

After returning to Beijing, Zhou Yutang took the opportunity to accompany Liu Shishi while Tianxian went to Paris to watch the show.

Yijie is sometimes quite gossipy: "Husband, the new star girl signed by Stephen Chow is actually in love with Feng Shaofeng."

"Fei Xia?"

"Do you know her?" Liu Shishi was slightly startled.

"I have some impression. Stephen Chow pushed someone to audition for The Lonely and Great God."

Zhou Yutang reached out and put his arm around Yijie's slender waist. He did remember that this new star girl had a cameo appearance in The Mermaid.

Jiangdong's database contains her dark history, so Zhou Yutang naturally cannot use her.

She is not famous yet, but she is already in love. Stephen Chow is so lucky.
