Entertainment: I really want to make progress

Back then, the movie "My Sassy Girl" became popular in Asia.

Starring Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun became instant hits, and South Korean director Kwak Jae-yong, whose head was stepped on by Zhou Yutang, was promoted to the list of famous directors.

This love movie subversively breaks the stereotype of traditional Asian women as gentle and virtuous.

So much so that even China has been affected, with a group of "sassy girlfriends" appearing who don't have Jun Ji-hyun's good looks, only have their own tempers, and may not be sincere.

Cha Tae-hyun's harmless face looks like the chosen "coward". Fifteen years later, he is still the same morning cow, but this time his savage girlfriend is Song Qian.

The popular Sino-Korean love movie "My New Sassy Girl" held a press conference a few days ago.

It is said to be created by the original team of the classic, recreating the love myth under the banner of old feelings.

Then it was released in China first, but the reality was quite skinny, with a box office of only 8.45 million on the first day of release.

Except for the new version of "I Believe" that Chrissy sang for the movie, the movie's reputation plummeted. As the heroine, Song Qian was inevitably compared to Jun Ji-hyun.

The results are obvious.

Classic, not that easy to challenge.

Zhou Yutang didn't even watch the movie. He only read the online reviews in the office and called Yang Tianzhen over.

"Boss, I didn't expect this."

Yang Tianzhen's fat face was filled with helplessness.

She is good at responding to emergencies and marketing hype, but she is weak in judging the potential of film and television projects.

When I helped Song Qian manage this resource, my calculations were crackling - Jun Ji-hyun was famous all over Asia, so she could gain some popularity.

Even the follow-up marketing routines were prepared, but I didn't expect to be slapped hard by reality.

"Do a good job in dealing with the aftermath, and don't let Song Qian do this kind of drama in the future."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead: "The company will make arrangements, and let Teacher Pan take care of her in the next play."

"Boss, are you talking about the movie "White Night"?"

Yang Tianzhen reacted very quickly, his fat face moved, and a gleam of light bloomed from the slit of his small eyes.

With "Signal"'s Zhu Yu in front, now the Jiangdong Mist Theater is also popular.

"White Night" starring Pan Yueming was previously released to the outside world in order to buy out the copyright. In fact, Jiangdong's internal executives knew that it was highly regarded by the governor and might become a hit.

"For this project, it will take some time to prepare."

Zhou Yutang nodded and said: "When Cehua's drama is over and before she joins the team, let her go to the mountain school to receive special training. Other film and television work will be put on hold for the time being."

The actor's talent is average and his understanding of the character is not enough?

It doesn't matter.

Yamashita Academy will have full-time acting instructors who will provide one-on-one caring guidance services before joining the group.

Most of the people who open Xiaozao are acting teachers from China National Theater, Shanghai Opera, and Nortel. They have excellent professional abilities. However, they are limited by the students' talent and understanding. Perhaps characters with more complex performance levels are not dare to guarantee the performance. Just like "White Night Chasing the Murderer" "The passionate policewoman Zhou Shutong is guaranteed to be able to fully understand the role.

The pressure to perform in this drama is all on Guan Hongfeng, played by Pan Yueming, who has to play two roles.

In fact, Song Qian is more suitable for variety shows than filming.

Zhou Yutang has paid attention to several of her film and television works after returning to China, but she can only say that her acting skills are mediocre.

However, her cheerful, sunny, diligent and generous personality can easily win the favor of guests and audiences in variety shows.

As long as you accumulate enough nationality, you will still be a first-line star in the big fire.

The Chinese film market is very deep, and South Korean companies cannot understand it. The box office of "Savage Girl" in its first weekend was only over 30 million, and it was undoubtedly filmed and died on the beach before the May 1st screening.

On the contrary, the domestic romance film "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", which was released at the same time, had a box office of over 100 million in its first week, surpassing the imported blockbuster "The Huntsman: Winter's War", which is really unexpected.

April is coming to an end, and Boss Jia is unwilling to be lonely and has made a big move.

He publicly stated that LeTV Pictures gave up the opportunity to go public independently.

The total price was 9.8 billion yuan, and it was acquired by LeTV and became its subsidiary.

LeTV made an announcement, and the entire entertainment industry was shaken by it.

Because as many as 20 celebrities were involved in this acquisition plan.

For example, famous directors Chen Kaige and Guo Xiaosi, as well as actors Sun Honglei, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Tao, etc., all previously held shares of LeTV Pictures.

Some professionals have calculated privately that if the acquisition is completed, Brother Chen Kai will be able to obtain a transaction consideration of over 100 million!

Previously, LeTV has been building a complete ecosystem of "platform + content + terminal + application" based on the video industry, content industry and smart terminals.

LeTV Pictures is a key part of this. According to Boss Jia, it is integrated into the LeTV ecological chain and can better achieve coordinated development.

Becoming bigger and stronger and creating greater glory is just around the corner.

As soon as the major good news came out, investors' eyes flashed, and LeTV's stock price took off.

The celebrity shareholders who originally held shares of LeTV Pictures.

For example, Director Chen Da, Zhou Yutang's old acquaintance Huang Guozhu, and Deng Chao and his wife all became shareholders of LeTV through the share exchange operation provided by Boss Jia.

This is the charm of capital operation. A bicycle becomes a motorcycle, and a motorcycle becomes a Mercedes-Benz.

Millions of dollars turned into tens of millions. The original investment was eight figures, and the valuation was now nine figures.

Everyone applauded and looked forward to a better tomorrow, but at the same time they were tied to the chariot of LeTV.

Huang Xiaoming was in a good mood and distributed red envelopes in the studio WeChat group. The studio staff posted screenshots of the message online, which caused a lot of discussion.

Mr. Zhou, who had just finished filming "When Will the Moon Rise", asked Liu Yifei to drive a kart.

The two girls played wildly for an afternoon, and Zhou Yutang drove to pick them up and was dragged to have a meal.

Mr. Zhou also discussed investment experience with the Grand Commander.

Seeing that Mr. Zhou, who had given all his money to his parents, had now turned into an investment genius and could talk about it clearly, Zhou Yutang was somewhat amused.

"You also invested in LeTV Sports?"

"Yeah, Boss Jia promised to go public within 3 years. Even if it doesn't go public within 3 years, he will personally repurchase the shares at an annual interest rate of 12%. Anyway, it won't lose money no matter how you calculate it."

Zhou Xun also kindly asked: "Xixi, do you want to buy some?"

This year, LeTV Sports just received 8 billion in round B financing, and the post-investment valuation reached 21.5 billion yuan.

Now Boss Jia's LeTV is like a capital behemoth.

Not only did Mr. Zhou invest money, but Chen Kun and dozens of other celebrities also regarded investing in LeTV as a stable financial project. Everyone followed Boss Jia to suffocate for their dreams.

"Sister Xun, I'll let it go."

Liu Shishi's bright eyes turned, and seeing Zhou Yutang's barely noticeable frown, she smiled and declined.

She didn't really understand those capital operations, but she had absolute trust in Zhou Yutang.

When two people get along for a long time, sometimes they don't need to talk, just look at each other's eyes to understand what the other person is thinking.

"There is no free lunch in the world."

It's a rare gathering, but it's pleasant. When it was time to leave, Zhou Yutang hesitated, rolled down the window, and still said something from a friend's standpoint:

"If you can withdraw your shares, withdraw them."

"I'll consider it."

Mr. Zhou was slightly startled, and seeing that Zhou Yutang's expression didn't seem to be joking, he nodded solemnly.

Standing there waiting for the car to go away, she came back to her senses.

If someone else said this, she probably wouldn't listen.

Boss Jia is in his prime, and his promises are still very important.

But Zhou Yutang is different.

Admiring the strong is an attribute engraved in women's genes, and Zhou Xun is no exception.

It is precisely because she saw Zhou Yutang's towering building rise from the ground with her own eyes that she attaches more importance to what Zhou Yutang said.

Even in her heart, for this man who is more than ten years younger than her, in addition to admiration, she also has some subtle appreciation.

He has an impeccable appearance, good conversation, and a sense of fun.

Coupled with the unique depth of a successful man, this is not enough to be described as excellent.

Zhou Yutang has too many characteristics that can make women's hearts beat.

Sometimes even he himself does not realize that even a glance may touch people's heartstrings invisibly.

Of course.

It is not illegal to have a little bit of affection for an excellent man.

Mr. Zhou knew that he was not Zhou Yutang's type.

Considering his current emotional state and standing on the position of Liu Yifei's best friend, she also restrained herself from taking that step.

Just thinking of his last words, even though the weather in Beijing has gradually warmed up.

But Mr. Zhou still felt as if he had been poured with a bucket of cold water.

"Xiao Zhou, are you so pessimistic about LeTV?"

On the way back, Liu Yifei asked impatiently.

"Ah? Is there?"

Zhou Yutang's blank expression made Liu Yifei roll her eyes proudly, humming and stretching out her feet, rubbing them flexibly.

The driver drove without looking away, and her little movements were concealed enough.

The female spy used torture to extract a confession, so Governor Zhou had no choice but to confess the truth.

In front of Mr. Zhou, Zhou Yutang didn't say much, but in front of the naive little Miss Liu, there was no need to hide.

Everyone stood in a different position and looked at things from a different perspective.

What Zhou Yutang saw was Boss Jia, who was able to call the wind and rain, but in fact he was facing huge pressure from all sides.

Mr. Zhou only saw LeTV, which was in a state of turmoil, and with Boss Jia, who was like a flourishing flower, as a guarantee, he could get investment returns, so he naturally felt that he had no worries.

But she didn't expect it.

What if even Boss Jia couldn't cover this bottom?

Several movies that were preparing to impact the May Day period were ready to fight head-on.

The youth campus romance film "Summer Is Here, Elegant Hope for Heaven", produced by the famous Korean director Zhao Zhenkui and co-produced by Wu Yifan and Han Gen, was withdrawn from the fierce competition of the May Day schedule.

The reason is that Boss Shi is not free from responsibility.

The box office purchase scandal of Master Ye in March, and the collapse of Boss Shi's Kuailu Finance, affected the distribution company.

The distribution of "Summer Is Here" was handed over to this company, which was hit by the thunder of the top and directly announced its dissolution on the spot. Withdrawal was also a helpless move.

However.

The scene of "Xuan Zang" co-produced by Huang Xiaoming and Xu Guangtou was extremely lively.

The head of China Film Group, La Peikang, personally stood on the stage, the big director of the 1 billion club, plus the luxurious lineup of Huang Xiaozhu, and the Queen of Heaven personally sang the ending song.

This movie is a Sino-Indian cultural cooperation and exchange project, the same nature as Wang Baoqi's "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two: The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

However, compared to Wang Baoqi and his crew who are still working hard in India, "The Journey to the West" hit the big screen first, and the industry media unanimously predicted that it would be the leader of the May Day schedule.

Zhou Yutang worked in the company's post-production and asked Ni Ni to attend the premiere on his behalf.

There is something for the secretary to do, and now Ni Ni is equivalent to a business card of the Grand Commander.

When she returned to the company in the evening, Zhou Yutang happened to walk out of the editing room with Chen Musheng, and asked by the way: "How is the quality?"

Ni Ni shrugged and smiled helplessly: "I personally prefer Mr. Xue's movies."

She also watched Xue Xiaolu's "The Unbreakable Love Letter" with Zhou Yutang.

Chen Musheng smiled and complimented: "I wish Mr. Zhou a big box office success."

"It's too early to celebrate now, it depends on the audience's feedback."

Zhou Yutang said modestly that he didn't have the habit of opening champagne in advance.

The premiere of "The Unbreakable Love Letter" was held at Tsinghua University.

A large number of media and fans gathered at the premiere early.

Director Xue Xiaolu and the leading actors Teacher Fan, Pan Yueming, Wang Zhiwen and others were all present.

Zhou Yutang personally came to the stage and completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. The thousand seats were not full.

Xue Xiaolu is the first female director in the circle. Of course, compared to this title, her more legendary experience is that she personally brought the Grand Commander to debut.

So today, many media surrounded Teacher Xue and kept asking about Zhou Yutang's past.

Teacher Xue responded to the questions from the reporters on the scene with a smile on her face, revealing a lot of information: "Everyone is very curious about my cooperation with Yu Tang, but it is not that complicated.

Yu Tang was still a freshman at the time, and he came to Xiaodan's office with the script of "Want to See You" and said he wanted to organize a group to shoot a drama. We all thought he was joking.

After reading the script, we realized that he was well prepared, so well prepared that it was surprising.

I have been a teacher for so many years and have seen many excellent students, but I have never seen anyone as motivated as Yu Tang. As teachers, we must of course give a little help within our ability."

Fan Binbin smiled and looked at the excited expressions of the reporters below the stage when they were recording the materials.

I couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yutang, a little absent-minded.

This man seemed to be born to stand in the spotlight. If he had been born ten years earlier and met at that time, how great it would have been.

"Binbin, Binbin?"

"Ah?"

Teacher Fan, who came back to her senses, revealed a hint of cuteness: "Sorry, I just heard Director Xue talking about these old stories, and I felt that they were very legendary. I was distracted."

Wearing a white long dress, wrapped around the moving and graceful curves.

Mature and charming teacher Fan, who was at the peak of her charm, sat there, as beautiful as a picture.

For beautiful women, everyone is always more tolerant, and no one cares about her distraction. The reporter continued to ask with a smile: "How do you feel about filming this movie?"

"In fact, Jiao Ye in the film is quite similar to me in real life."

Teacher Fan stroked her hair and revealed her shortcomings: "In real life, I am not a goddess either. Like Jiao Ye, I am sometimes careless."

She also performed on the spot with Teacher Pan and sang a song "Just Like Your Tenderness".

Naturally, some media also asked Zhou Yutang about her opinion of the movie.

He was familiar with these procedures and smiled lightly: "Teacher Xue's script is a perfect presentation of a romantic love story. You can find the answer in the movie."

The movie "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" actually has nothing to do with Beijing and Seattle.

Jiao Ye, played by Teacher Fan, immigrated to Haojiang with his father at the age of 15. Since then, he has settled in the gambling city and gloriously became a casino public relations woman.

Daniel, played by Pan Yueming, lives in Los Angeles and is a real estate agent.

The love between the two is 11,900 kilometers apart. From the beginning to the end, they communicated through letters. They did not really meet until the end of the film, and finally walked hand in hand on the streets of London.

This also coincides with the title of the movie "The Unbreakable Love Letter".

When the movie was over, Teacher Fan, who hurriedly finished the media interview, quietly got on the passenger seat of the Grand Commander's Maybach S600 armored car.

"This car is nice."

Teacher Fan was very satisfied with the car that the strongest post-80s generation on earth rode with her hips. Of course, she was more concerned about Zhou Yutang's evaluation of the movie.

"How is it?"

"To be honest, this platonic love is a little bit hypocritical."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly: "But Qin Pei and his wife shot this part well."

The perspective of female directors in interpreting love stories is often delicate enough, but sometimes they pursue romance too much, which will appear literary and hypocritical.

"What is the unhypocritical love like?"

Teacher Fan asked this question with a charming look, and Zhou Yutang had already given the answer with practical actions.

Since love can be done, who would talk about it?

.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while, so naturally they had to reminisce.

Driving to Teacher Fan's mansion on Hesheng Xiaoyun Road.

The plum blossoms in Beijing bloomed for the second time.

Zhou Yutang came out of the bathroom first and looked at Teacher Fan's room.

The wardrobe was very large, and there was another compartment, which was full of clothes.

Teacher Fan's room is based on pink and white.

The chandelier emits a gentle light, and the bedspread and even the cat cages of the cats at home are all pink.

You can't tell.

The domineering Fan Ye also has a girlish side.

Zhou Yutang didn't consider himself an outsider. He took out the sparkling water from the refrigerator and poured two cups.

He prepared a cup for Teacher Fan who needed to replenish water urgently.

When she came out, she was lazy like a cat, curled up in Zhou Yutang's arms, enjoying the warmth after a long time.

"When did you become so familiar with Yoona?"

Zhou Yutang was scrolling through Kakao on his No. 2 phone and replying to IU's message.

Suddenly he found that Lin Yuner sent him a photo of her and Teacher Fan.

Lin Yuner is recognized as the face of Girls' Generation, and Teacher Fan is also a goddess in the domestic entertainment industry.

The two girls have different temperaments, but they are both very beautiful. Zhou Yutang saved the photo.

"I met her at a brand event last time."

Teacher Fan placed her smooth beautiful leg on Zhou Yutang's leg and glanced at him: "Your little lover speaks Chinese well and is very polite to call me Sister Binbin."

"She calls you sister, and you call me Baba, how should the seniority be calculated. Hiss!"

Captain Zhou, who was caught with the handle, took a breath and decisively changed his words: "Sister Binbin."

"That's more like it, remember, I'm your sister."

Teacher Fan was very satisfied, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and the two of them talked casually.

She suddenly thought of something, touched Zhou Yutang's arm, and asked: "By the way, what's the situation with "Extreme Challenge"? Why was the last episode directly removed from the shelves? I heard that the higher-ups are going to rectify the reality show. Will it have any impact on Mingjie?"

"There was a little problem, but it's not a big problem."

Feeling Teacher Fan's earnest concern, Zhou Yutang smiled and continued to reply to the message on the number one mobile phone.

"Go Fighting", the successor to "Happy Comedian", continues to be strong in previous seasons and firmly sits on the Sunday ratings leader.

However, since the start of this season, the program last weekend was reviewed and sent back by the higher-ups for revision.

In the last episode of the extreme six-member group, when Huang Sanshi was riding a bicycle in Taiwan, he was hit in an important position.

Now the TV station has issued a notice, and the outside world is speculating.

Teacher Fan was speechless when he heard this, and then complained: "I went to record "Longing for Life" a few days ago, and Huang Sanshi's cooking was really bad."

"What did he cook?"

"He said he wanted to treat me with Shandong Province's famous dishes, so he specially made braised prawns and braised pork with oil."

Teacher Fan curled his lips: "The prawns were so-so, and the pork with oil was sweet and greasy, and it was also very sour. Teacher He kept praising it, and I felt that Huang Sanshi almost believed it himself."

"It's good that I didn't make nine-turn large intestine for you."

Zhou Yutang smiled with a hint of ridicule: "Didn't he take on a TV series?"

"You mean "Midnight Diner"? "

This TV series is adapted from the popular comic of the same name in Japan. Hualu Baina obtained the copyright for film and television adaptation and handed it over to Cai Yuexun to take charge.

The producer recently made a big move, first inviting Huang Sanshi to play the boss, and then announcing that Taiwanese beauties Zhang Junning and Xiao Jingteng and other stars would join.

Anyway, the slogans are loud, the canteen owner Chef Huang is the soul, and each episode will be starred by popular stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, which is expected to set the largest star record in the history of Chinese TV dramas.

"Will that work?"

Teacher Fan thought of the delicious food he tasted in the Mushroom House and expressed deep doubts about the future of this project.

"The acquisition of Haidilao is almost done."

After replying to the second wave of messages, Zhou Yutang finally freed his hands and gently slid on the exaggerated waist and hip curve.

"Really? How much?"

"This number."

Seeing the number Zhou Yutang gestured with his hands, Teacher Fan suddenly stood up, his eyes shining with surprise, "Why are you not excited at all?"

"It's just less than four small goals, what's there to be excited about?"

Zhou Yutang has been deeply involved in the entertainment industry and has not paid much attention to catering. He really didn't expect that the seeds he accidentally planted in the past would now bear rich fruits.

It's also a pleasant surprise.

The entire business negotiation team had been arguing with Haidilao for a while, and the conditions finally offered were quite generous, so he nodded.

Teacher Fan was the second largest shareholder after him. With the shares of Yujian Hotpot Restaurant in her hands, if she cashed out after the acquisition was completed, she could at least make a stable profit of more than 120 million.

You know, she only invested a few million at the beginning, but it was almost the same as what she makes in a year now.

What else do you want?

Teacher Fan was almost fainted by the surprise, and her mind was so complicated that it couldn't be more complicated.

Those black and clear eyes looked at Zhou Yutang faintly, as if they contained affectionate feelings, and there was a kind of soul-stirring beauty.

Looking at the man in front of him was like looking at a treasure.
