China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 131 "Latent" explodes in popularity, the king of ratings
A romantic talent named Zhou?

Is there any other talented person named Zhou in the entertainment industry?

Looking at this seemingly outrageous title, Zhou Yutang's thick sword-shaped eyebrows were raised slightly.
"Zhou Yutang, a popular young boy from the mainland, is not a raptor. His exposure rate in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry has been extremely high recently. First, he was highly valued by Boss Yinghuang Yang, and then he was favored by Boss Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest. After the production of "The Alone Agent" was completed, I went shopping with two young models in Central for one day, and the intimate behavior shocked Hong Kong and Kowloon."

"Actually, Zhou Yutang is handsome. There is no doubt that wherever he goes, women have inexplicable and ambiguous relationships with him. Let me review Zhou Caizi's previous scandalous relationships, including popular actresses such as Liu Yifei, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liu Shishi. They have all had scandals with him, which shows that this romantic and talented man has extraordinary strength."

Attached below are several candid photos of Zhou Yutang, Wen Yongshan and Yang Ying getting into the car after getting out of the cafe, and taking photos while shopping in Central.

"It's over!"

Mao Xiaoyu, who was in the passenger seat, was still a newbie. When he saw this title, his palms became sweaty in panic.

I feel very guilty!
It was all due to his failure to fulfill his job responsibilities that led to such a big scandal this time.

Xiao Yu is really angry. This tabloid is completely irresponsible and lies nonsense.

I followed him all the way as a nanny and saw clearly.

The boss's trip the next day was to go shopping, and he also gave himself a luxury bag.

Hong Kong paparazzi have no heart, how can they bear to slander such a good person like their boss?

Mao Xiaoyu was very dissatisfied, but he had never experienced this kind of battle. He was still a little panicked when something happened. He asked anxiously: "Boss, what should I do now?"

"What do you mean?"

"This scandal, do you want to hold a press conference and explain it clearly in advance? I can testify."

"Ask Sister Shuang how to deal with it."

Zhou Yutang had just handed the phone back when his own phone rang. It was Liu Shishi's call.

I happened to pass a speed bump and my phone almost fell over.

Must buy a Mercedes Benz!
Among the cars Zhou Yutang has ridden in, Tian Ming's Mercedes-Benz is the most comfortable.

After looking at all the car models, I came back and planned to order a Mercedes-Benz S500L, which cost just over 200 million.

Regarding the scandal, Zhou Yutang reported it to Liu Shishi in advance and explained a little bit that it was arranged by Yinghuang.

Shi Shi asked him what color dress he would wear to the Golden Horse in the future. This time the two of them walked the red carpet together, and she had to book a matching dress in advance.

After chatting all the way, we returned to the studio.

Mao Xiaoyu found Li Shuang and said weakly: "Sister Shuang, there's something wrong. There's a scandal over in Xiangjiang."

"Oh, you said that, it's not a big problem."

Li Shuang held a stack of meeting materials and didn't care at all: "The studio will issue an announcement in two days, let's hold the meeting first."

She is even worse than Zhou Yutang. Zhou Yutang is originally a romantic and talented person, so scandals are just scandals.

meeting room.

I held a meeting with several core members of the studio.

Li Shuang reported on his work.

The first is the return of funds brought by the "The Voice" program, and he is planning to take advantage of the real estate turmoil in the capital to buy a house as a Jiangdong base.

We have already contacted Jiujiufang and are looking for her, and we expect there will be definite news before the year.

Then there is copyright.

Recently, many people have come to Kodong Studio to buy copyrights, mainly for works in the youth romance genre, which are now the public secret of wealth in the film and television industry.

According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, hundreds of youth love-type films and television works have appeared in the film and television industry.

Zhou Yutang is now well-known. The "Introduction to Architecture" he wrote has already attracted the attention of a coal boss, and the bidding price reached 300 million. It is said that he came to the studio with a sack of cash, and the heroine was appointed there. Let Zhou Yutang play the leading role again, and the salary will be 380 million.

This is the price of a mainland star.

The coal bosses were generous with their moves, but Zhou Yutang was not prepared to sell the copyright.

"Next year or the year after that, I'll do it in my own studio."

Zhou Yutang is very optimistic about this script, especially the heroine. If she plays the role well, she will be very eye-catching, and the popularity effect may be no worse than in "Those Years".

"Where's the "To Our Fading Youth" that Zhao Yanzi wants?"

"She came to join in the fun no matter what. She didn't sell it."

Zhou Yutang shook his head.

He didn't really want to have anything to do with this guy.

She can just do any project that can make money, and no one is familiar with it, so why should she get a piece of the pie?

"Then I'll call over there."

Li Shuang nodded, admiring Zhou Yutang in his heart.

Since last year, Zhou Yutang has been hoarding copyrights.

At that time, she also felt that Zhou Yutang's behavior of spending millions at one time to buy the copyright was very wasteful, and she felt a little distressed, because at that time the studio had just started and there was not much money in the account.

However, by now, the price of copyrights for youth love genres that have been accumulated one after another has at least increased several times from the original basis.

Now it seems that this is definitely a very cost-effective investment.

When the topic of copyright came up, Zhou Yutang suddenly thought of something: "Sister Shuang, please contact Qidian Chinese website to discuss the film and television copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"."

"What kind of novel? It sounds weird."

"Tomb Robbery, this novel is really well written."

"Okay, leave it to me to talk. Don't forget there will be a press conference for "Latent" later."

Hand over the work matters and let Li Shuang implement them.

"Latent" is about to premiere. Today, the studio has arranged a press conference. In a few days, the creative team will be traveling around to promote it.

When he came out, he met Zhang Songwen. He was wearing a suit. He took deep breaths. Zhou Yutang smiled teasingly and said, "Teacher Songwen, how do you feel?"

"very nervous."

Zhang Songwen was a little embarrassed and touched his styled hair, and said with a smile: "There must be at least dozens of media here. It's the first time I see this formation, and my palms are sweaty."

"Hey, hey, Mr. Zhang, don't move, your hair will be messed up later."

Assistant Wenwen quickly stopped him, and Zhang Songwen withdrew his hands and laughed.

"Where's Sister Li?"

Zhou Yutang turned to ask Zeng Li, and the beauty in Tsing Yi rolled her eyes at him: "It's okay, the reporters will definitely besiege you later."

Compared to Zhang Songwen, Zeng Li was much calmer and was in a joking mood.

After all, she became famous after filming "Want to See You".

This time, the four golden single broadcasts are fully booked, so naturally they want to build enough momentum for the launch of "Latent".

Zhou Yutang is so popular that he is still a major investor, so he must shoulder some of the heavy publicity responsibilities.

After waiting for a while, Huang Xiaoming also came. Zhou Yutang stepped forward and hugged him.

"Brother Xiao Ming, thank you for running back and forth."

"It doesn't matter, I also have a role in it."

Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.

This guy really knows how to be a good person. "The Wind" is still being filmed. He specifically took a day off from the crew of "The Wind" to attend the press conference here.

"Zhou Yutang, you just had an affair with two beautiful models in Xiangjiang. What do you think?"

"It's all irresponsible and random reporting by tabloids. I'm not familiar with Hong Kong, so I asked the crew to take me around and planned to buy some gifts for my friends. I didn't expect such outrageous scandals to spread. Today is the TV series "Latent" press conference, please ask some relevant questions.”

"Zhou Yutang, you created "Latent", and Jiangdong Studio is still the main investor. Why did you choose Zhang Songwen to be the male lead? As far as I know, he has never played a male lead before?"

"I spent several months working on this script. At that time, I felt that Teacher Zhang Songwen was the most suitable candidate to play Yu Zecheng. His acting skills will definitely surprise everyone."

"Mr. Zhou, what are your expectations for the ratings of this show?"

“It’s hard to say yet, but I personally think there is hope of breaking ten.”

"What!? Break ten!?"

The media reporters at the scene were in an uproar and became more excited at the same time.

Click!Click!
The whole place was illuminated by flashlights, shining crazily.

Along with the buzzing discussion!
This is really dare to say.

Now, unlike a few years ago, generally speaking, a drama with a rating of [-] is a small hit, and a drama with a rating of [-] is a phenomenal TV series.

Zhou Yutang was very calm about the media's reaction, but continued to add fuel to the fire with a smile: "I think "Latent" has hope of competing for the best TV series of the year."

"Why is Zhou Yutang so crazy? Is it realistic for a middle-aged actor who has never played a leading role to be the lead actor and dare to say that the ratings have exceeded [-]?"

"Realistic or not, it will be front-page news tomorrow."

"Haha, if this can break ten, I will live broadcast eating."

"I think this young man has good vision. He might be really surprised."

"My taste is indeed good. I saw that the two Hong Kong girls in the newspaper were very on point."

"Haha, you are a romantic and talented person. Let's go to Xiangjiang and let yourself go."

The conference is over.

The reporters seemed to be celebrating the New Year.

We are all peers and have personal friendships. The news should be timely and the press release should be prepared immediately.

Ever since Zhou Yutang debuted, he seems to have had a body that absorbs heat. Either because of scandals or because of his popular works, he is often on the headlines of various entertainment pages.

If one were to select a media reporter’s most popular award, then Zhou Yutang would undoubtedly be among them.

"You really dare to say it."

In the evening, Zeng Li leaned in Zhou Yutang's arms and browsed the entertainment portal on her mobile phone. She saw that the press conference news of "Latent" had been posted on the front page. There was no doubt that it was Zhou Yutang's doing, so she couldn't help but give him a sideways look: "You didn't deal with the media like this before. Where did you get your ideas?"

In today's press conference, ever since Zhou Yutang said those words, the media reporters at the scene seemed to be on steroids.

"I learned this from Xiaogangpao. It's no exaggeration to say that no one pays attention to it."

According to Zhou Yutang's observation, every time Xiaogangpao is about to release a work, he often talks wildly.

There are benefits to doing this. Anyway, the attention is in place.

Of course, there is a limit, it should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to suffer backlash like a small steel cannon.

"It's hard for you to learn well, but you'll slip away when you learn badly."

Zeng Li laughed angrily.

"Sister Li, you are attracting media attention for free. How can you say you are a bad person? Are you promoting your work?"

Zhou Yutang is getting thicker and thicker: "Besides, I really have confidence in the TV series "Latent"."

"Can it really break ten?"

The beauty in Tsing Yi seemed to be infected by Zhou Yutang's confidence, and she was also looking forward to it.

The ratings exceeded [-]. Before she met Zhou Yutang, she wouldn't have dared to think about it, but this man seemed to have unlimited possibilities.

"It's very difficult, but it may not be hopeless." Looking at Zhou Yutang's confident face, Zeng Li asked abruptly: "By the way, what's going on with the scandal?"

"Sister Li, I'm very angry just talking about it."

Zhou Yutang magically took out an exquisite small box from his pocket, which contained a pair of green earrings: "Sister Li, you should know how professional I am in filming. I have never been out since I have been on the set. I want to give You bought a gift and asked two girls from the crew to lead the way, but I didn’t expect the paparazzi in Xiangjiang to be so rampant."

"Come on, I'll put it on for you."

"It's really pretty. You have a good sense of aesthetics."

"The main thing is that Sister Li, you are beautiful. I think the color of these earrings matches the blue skirt better."

"Old Zhou."

It was a little late when Zhang Songwen got home. As soon as he opened the door to the courtyard, he heard the sound of the frying pan being served.

Then a strong aroma of spicy and sour shredded pork wafted out from the kitchen.

This small farmhouse is located on the outskirts of Beijing. Although the rented house is simple, he has carefully taken care of it and planted many flowers, plants and vegetables in the yard. Now it looks very interesting.

"came back."

Zhou Yiwei, who lived together in the same house, was wearing a bear apron and was busy in the kitchen: "We will prepare two dishes tonight. Let's have a few drinks. Oops, why is the soy sauce gone? Go to Lao Lin's place to get some soy sauce."

"Don't do so much, we won't be able to finish it all."

Zhang Songwen took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the soy sauce bottle and walked out of the yard.

I met some aunties from my neighborhood, greeted them with polite smiles, and chatted a little with Lao Lin at the grocery store in the village.

puff!
The lid of the green bottle of snowflakes was knocked open on the corner of the table.

The two sat opposite each other. Zhou Yiwei took the initiative to pour the wine and said with a smile: "The braised pork is sweet, the hot and sour shredded pork, my specialty, and the braised pig head meat. We often eat it from Lao Wei's." Yes, let’s do it on time tonight.”

"It's a matter of time. After so many years, I finally got to play the male lead."

Zhang Songwen drank the whole drink in one gulp. Maybe it was because the weather was a little cold, so he pursed his lips and said, "Lao Zhou, don't make fun of me. It will be broadcast soon. I feel very uneasy right now, for fear of betraying Yu Tang's trust."

"Song Wen, you can do it."

Zhou Yiwei also drank a drink and said in an excited tone: "Do you know what people in the industry say about Zhou Yutang now? The projects he invests in will never fail. You have to have confidence in yourself and in him."

"You should have confidence."

Zhang Songwen felt relieved. He looked out the window and beyond the small courtyard, looking very far away.
He has been dormant for many years, just waiting to make a big splash.

that's it.

After a series of publicity efforts, the drama "Latent" was launched to everyone's expectation.

The premiere ratings directly surprised everyone.

Four satellite TV stations, Beijing, Magic City, Yuqing and Chengcheng, broadcast it simultaneously during prime time. The ratings of Beijing TV reached 8.1 that day.

Shocked the industry!

Beijing Satellite TV is a first-tier satellite TV platform, but it has never had a drama with a first-day rating of over 8. This is also the TV series with the highest ratings on its first day of broadcast in the history of Beijing Satellite TV!
And the other side.

Rongcheng, Magic City, and Yuqing also all achieved their highest local ratings peaks.

The most outrageous.

These four satellite TV stations actually ranked among the top 10 national satellite TV stations in terms of ratings for the same time period with the help of the drama "Latent"!

Beijing Satellite TV and Magic City Satellite TV ranked first and third respectively, while Yuqing Satellite TV and Rongcheng Satellite TV ranked sixth and eighth respectively!
What concept?
This has never been such a glorious moment for Beijing and Shanghai TV.

It’s at its peak right from the start!

Rongcheng and Yuqing TV's usual ratings are at least in the middle of the national satellite TV channels, but they were directly promoted to the top TV stations in the country by the drama "Latent".

Simply incredible.

Not only was the industry shocked, it also sparked heated discussions online again:

"The plot is very compact, and the suspense is high at the beginning. I was quite nervous about the assassination."

"Zhang Songwen's performance is really good. I found that the rhythm of this drama was so well controlled. It made me nervous to death."

"This is a spy war, thrilling and thrilling. The acting skills of all the actors in the drama are outstanding. This drama is truly a masterpiece!"

"I can't help but want to read further. I'm willing to pay. Can you let me look at the back first?"

"Haha, my old man just stepped down from his position, and even he was fascinated by it. This show is really amazing."

"The script was written by Zhou Yutang. He is really amazing. I have a hunch that this drama will become a god."

Once "Latent" was aired, it received rave reviews from the audience.

Subsequent ratings also continued to rise, triggering enthusiastic responses from the media and the Internet.

Every day, the ratings of "Insidious" are soaring. It's only halfway through the broadcast, and the ratings have already exceeded [-].

This is a true out-of-circle explosion.

Zhang Songwen, who had been dormant for several years and no one knew about him, once "lurked" and the whole world was shocked.

During this period of time, Jiangdong Studio received 27 endorsement contracts from Zhang Songwen!

Of course, these endorsements need to be carefully screened, and only one or two of them can be finally signed, but there is no doubt that they are very high-quality endorsement contracts.

Zeng Li's performance as Cuiping, who is both rustic and cute, also received great praise.

Because of this role, many of the laughs in "Latent" - every time Yu Zecheng said something very romantic to Cuiping, it was turned into a comedy by Cuiping's ignorance and bad temper.

It's like playing the piano to a cow, and the two people seem to be trying to communicate on different channels, which makes people laugh and cry.

This is also an adjustment to the tense and exciting hidden plot.

Allow the audience to soothe their emotions.

As the plot of "Insidious" slowly unfolded, the audience suddenly discovered that every character in this drama is so vivid that people can't help but be amazed:
Yu Zecheng is cautious and lurking.

Stationmaster Wu is a cunning and cunning man with a hidden knife in his smile.

Cuiping is rustic, funny yet confident.

The duplicitous official Lu Qiaoshan.

The cruel and vicious Li Ya.

Of course, Xie Ruolin played by Zhou Yutang is indispensable.

This is obviously just a supporting role, but it is surprisingly popular.

The main reason is that he always talks nonsense as soon as he appears, and the various golden sentences in "Latent" began to sweep the entire dynasty this winter.

"Emei Peak, you can still take a photo alone, it's quite romantic. Webmaster Wu, are you trying to laugh me to death?!"

"Xie Ruolin's lines played by Zhou Yutang are the most interesting. Hahaha, I want to die laughing."

"Those officials talk all about doctrines, but in fact they only think about their damn business. Do you really dare to say this!"

"Here are two gold bars. Can you tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty? It's really fucking reality."

"If there is peace in the future, there will be no doctrine. What will there be? Only money! Zhou Yutang, do you want to go in?!"

"Zhou Yutang is very conscious. Have you forgotten? While filming, he even helped the police catch a fugitive."

for a while.

"Insidious" blew by like a hurricane, and the entire month of December was filled with reports about the show.

Even the things that happened during the filming period in the past few months were uncovered and once again became a hot topic in the news. The photos of Zhou Yutang and his upright and sinless people have become a hot topic nowadays.

Before the TV series was finished, the number of topics on Baidu Tieba exceeded [-], and there were tens of thousands of posts. Tianya Community and Douban were crazy about hundreds of posts, all of them analyzing the plot and characters.

This is not finished.

Even the same green desk lamp that appeared repeatedly in the play was sold out, which shows how popular "Insidious" has become.

The original author, Mr. Long Yi, saw his copyright fees increase several times after the broadcast of "Latent". He was full of praise for Zhou Yutang in an interview: "The original work only has less than [-] words, and Yu Tang has exerted great creativity. It took so much strength and imagination to write this script, and I feel so amazing!”

Even an old leader of the China Television Artists Committee could not help but write a drama review article himself:
[Zhou Yutang, who created "Latent", is the dark horse of the screen or the king of ratings? 】

I think so.

It no longer seems appropriate to call Zhou Yutang a dark horse.

What is a dark horse?

Used specifically to describe winners who are beyond everyone's expectation.

After "Want to Meet You", Zhou Yutang can be called a ratings dark horse, but the high ratings of last year's "Let's Get Married" were enough to prove his ability.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" made him extremely popular, and "Those Years" is also a surprise work for young people.

This "Latent" adapted by him also gave me a great surprise. It is different from the grand narrative discourse of previous domestic theme themes, and uses very life-like and authentic language dialogue to create characters and enhance the sense of substitution.

This drama is the first domestic espionage suspense TV drama. Its ratings have begun to break through the top ten, and there is no doubt that it will become a palace-level screen classic.

Ouyang Changlin once said that this young man has mastered the ratings code of this era.

I deeply agree.

Zhou Yutang is undoubtedly the king of ratings.

I have always been a middle-aged person who is not star-struck, and perhaps I am still what students call an old-fashioned person.

But I am a fan of Zhou Yutang.

Each of his works is a rare masterpiece.

I am looking forward to what kind of surprises his other movie "The Lonely Agent" will bring me.

"Mr. Cai, no, I'm just as popular."

"Brother Chen, the king of ratings is really exaggerated. In fact, I didn't expect that there would be such a big response."

"Mr. Wu, what, you are also following the drama?"

"Mr. Han, do you have something important to discuss? Then I'll go over to China Film Academy."

Zhou Yutang sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, constantly answering messages and phone calls.

Mao Xiaoyu could see through the rearview mirror that although his boss said he was calm and gentle, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

There was also a sense of pride in her heart.

"Latent" is a hit.

Koto Studio is also completely popular!

China Film Group.

Office of the Chairman.

Han Sanping leaned on his seat and looked at the ratings report of "Latent" handed over by his subordinates with a red face.

This TV series with the main theme can actually achieve such amazing ratings. As a producer, he is also proud of it.

At a meeting a few days ago, I was personally commended by a top leader, which was a full recognition of his work ability.

Seeing Zhou Yutang push the door open, Han Sanping stood up on his own initiative, took out his collection of top-quality tea leaves and made a cup of tea for Zhou Yutang, with an extremely eager tone:

"Yu Tang is here, come and sit down, I have something good to tell you."
