China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 181: Bringing the Flying Immortal, the Power of Capital
mid-October.

Liu Yifei appeared on the stage of "The Voice" as a guest.

It was her new song "Like a Fish" that she sang. The ratings of the show that night soared to 5.58%, and the viewership share reached 18.89%!

It reached the highest level since the second season of the show.

Taking advantage of the situation, we promoted a wave of "My Love from the Star", and the effect was also very good.

After the song "Like a Fish" was aired on "The Voice", within just one week, it shot directly into the top ten of major music charts, making it a hit.

In the comment section of the song, there were even rave reviews:
"As the lyrics say, this is a simple song, nothing unique, but I seem to hear Liu Yifei's slightly sad mood."

"So gods can sing? This song is very nice."

"Tianxian has released albums and held concerts before, but probably no one remembers what she sang."

"This song "Like a Fish" is really nice."

"Have you noticed that the songwriter of this song is Zhou Lang."

"Upstairs, isn't Mr. Zhou Zhou Yutang's vest?"

"That's him! Last year he competed with Jay Chou on the charts. This year he stopped singing and just wrote songs for the gods to sing."

"One thing to say is that Zhou Yutang wrote this song very well. Liu Yifei's singing skills are not great, but when she sang this song, it sounded very tasteful."

A song by Zhou Yutang.

This directly brought Liu Yifei back into the public eye after being dormant for more than half a year.

Many passers-by were even attracted by this song and became fans of Liu Yifei.

The huge fan base began to gradually gain strength, and in the next few days, the song reached the top three positions in major music charts.

"Xiao Zhou, I've been on many music charts."

When Liu Yifei called, her happy voice sounded a little cute: "My mother didn't believe it at first, but I showed it to her and she was shocked."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "Because you sing well."

Liu Yifei confirmed: "No, it's because of your song."

She knows her singing skills well.

It definitely can't be said to be that superior.

Aunt Liu has been in a state of shock and confusion these days.

When she learned the news, she was in disbelief at first.

Think about it too.

Back then, she took Liu Yifei to study at Neon for a long time. Various senior musicians made an album for her and spent countless resources to promote it.

Liu Yifei sang hard and danced passionately, but in the end, she didn't even get splashed.

Now Zhou Yutang wrote a song for her.

No resources were spent on promotion.

It became an immediate hit and topped the charts of major music charts.

The audience is a very simple and realistic creature. If the song you sing is good, then I will support you. If the song is not good, it will be useless even if the gods come down to earth.

Soon after, Zhou Yutang received a thank you call from Aunt Liu.

After hanging up after a polite exchange, Zhou Yutang began to arrange the next promotion and marketing plan for "My Love from the Star".

After being in the industry for several years, he has a lot of experience.

If you want your work to be popular, the quality itself is very important, and the marketing hype must also keep up.

At this time, the fashion magazine "Harper's Bazaar" exposed the cover character of Silver Ten.

The striking looks of Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei also aroused heated discussions:

"What kind of beautiful CP is this?"

"Wow! Zhou Yutang's style in this set of photos is really incomparable and beautiful!"

"Support Liu Yifei, come on!"

"This couple is so sweet! I beg you to stay together, it's so delicious!"

"Zhou Yutang, the hatred of seizing his wife will never be forgotten!"

"The shot of fireworks falling like meteors is really beautiful. It seems to be a concept image of the TV series "My Love from the Star"."

"I'm even more looking forward to the TV series. It seems to be starting in just over a month."

This Bazaar double cover can be said to have received rave reviews. Together with the song "Like a Fish", it not only made Liu Yifei famous after a long silence, but also raised people's expectations for the TV series "My Love from the Star". further.

"Breaking the domestic TV series single episode sales record!"

"Zhou Yutang's new work is a TV series of movie quality!"

"A stunning combination of an alien male god and a female star!"

A series of promotional releases almost knock people out.

Liu Yifei had been silent for more than a year. When she appeared in the public eye again, she was taken away by Zhou Yutang.

Various filming behind-the-scenes will be released one after another, which will continue to increase the popularity of "My Love from the Star".

Zhou Yutang was invited to participate in this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner.

Last year, due to the special circumstances of the Southwest, the Bazaar Charity Night was very low-key, but this year, a large red carpet of dozens of meters was laid outside the Yintai Center.

The bosses of entertainment companies in the industry and top celebrities came one after another.

Su Mang was graceful and greeted everyone in front of the signature wall. When she saw Liu Yifei holding Zhou Yutang's arm, her eyes lit up and she took the initiative to greet her:

"Yu Tang, Yifei, you are here."

The enthusiastic response to the Harper's Bazaar Silver Ten double cover gave her a huge surprise.

"Hi, Miss Su."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, and Liu Yifei also said hello politely.

Su Mang is a very smart woman. She knows that she will get rich rewards for placing her treasure on Zhou Yutang, so she behaves extremely diligently.

Without much chatting, after signing their names, Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei walked into the dinner venue under the guidance of the staff under the sudden flash of lights.

"Yu Tang!"

Huang Xiaoming, an old acquaintance, walked up to Liu Yifei with a smile as soon as he saw her, and also said hello to Liu Yifei: "Yifei, you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Brother Ming."

Speaking of which, the three of them actually knew each other on the set of "The Condor". At that time, Liu Yifei was still a very cute little girl. She is just as beautiful now, but her overall temperament is a little more mature.

Huang Xiaoming seems to have grown again. He is several centimeters taller than usual tonight.

Several people entered the venue and found their positions.

The seating arrangement at the Bazaar Charity Banquet is very telling.

The bigger the seat, the further forward.

For example, Zhou Yutang and Huang Xiaoming sat at the front table. This time, Su Mang specially arranged Liu Yifei next to her. At the same table were Fan Xiaopang, Li Binbin, and Xu Jinglei.

All beautiful women.

It's a status symbol.

There are countless envious eyes looking at this side from behind.

Liu Yifei sat obediently next to Zhou Yutang, but Zhou Yutang had friendships with several big flowers at the same table. After greeting them one by one, Huo Siyan, a social butterfly from Huayi, came over without even talking to Huang Xiaoming.

Zhou Yutang was also very helpless.

Huo Siyan had made private appointments with Zhou Yutang many times without getting a response, but still persisted in showing her goodwill with a smile on her face.

Apart from her, there were also female stars who kept glancing in this direction, like a female temptress seeing Tang Seng.

"what's the situation?"

Liu Yifei was a little confused and felt like a light on her back.

To say that Zhou Yutang is very popular, it is not that great.

Huang Xiaoming, on the other hand, crossed his legs like an old man and exchanged information about Huayi Company with Li Binbin beside him.

Zhou Yutang leaned over and explained in a low voice: "Jiangdong Entertainment has collaborated with the Beijing Art Center on a palace drama. It is a key project for next year. There will be many female characters in the drama. We are planning to cast a cast at the end of the year. This is probably for this purpose. Come."

In this way, Liu Yifei understands.

The reason is very simple.

A rare opportunity.

Now that you greet Zhou Yutang respectfully, he may not be able to remember you, but if the facial recognition is successful, you will definitely make money by then.

But if you don't take the initiative to say hello to Zhou Yutang now, he will definitely not remember you.

Women in the entertainment industry are so realistic and proactive.

When the topic came up, Xu Jinglei was very interested and asked proactively: "Yu Tang, have you decided on the heroine?"

Fan Xiaopang and Li Binbin’s ears perked up.

"deal."

As soon as these words came out, several big beauties instantly lost interest.

Due to their status, they only target movies. In addition, they can also appear in phenomenal hit dramas, but if they are not the heroines, they will naturally lose interest.

"Yifei, your song is so popular recently. When will "My Love from the Star" be released?"

"Probably in December, Yu Tang is arranging it."

"I wish you a huge ratings hit in advance."

"Thank you." I was sitting chatting with Huang Xiaoming, but I didn't expect that Wang Zhonglei, who was not far away, took the initiative to come over with a glass of wine and said, "Yu Tang, it has been decided on the 30th. Do you want to see it together then?"

Wang Zhonglei was talking about the listing ceremony of Huayi Company.

Mr. Wang is about to become one of the bosses of a listed company, his face is red.

"I'm not going to join in the fun."

Zhou Yutang said a few polite words and sent Mr. Wang away, but he didn't take it to heart.

Hundreds of celebrities came to the scene today. Some of them just wanted to be on the red carpet and gain exposure by naming and criticizing a certain actress.
Jackie Chan is undoubtedly the protagonist tonight. He spent a lot of money and even brought out his own personal collection.

Zhou Yutang also took pictures of a few things. In the end, Huang Xiaoming donated 50, and he also donated another 50, which was considered a token of appreciation.

Another day.

in the car.

Zhou Yutang gave the Cartier crystal necklace he photographed to Liu Yifei.

"Like it?"

"Xiao Zhou, how did you know I like you?" Liu Tianxian looked surprised.

"There is a tacit understanding."

Zhou Yutang said shamelessly.

He was very sure about Liu Yifei's preferences. When the auction came out that night, he keenly noticed Liu Yifei's eyes shining.

He also specially photographed a few pieces of jewelry for later use. This was considered a small surprise for Liu Yifei.

Not only that.

Zhou Yutang also accurately predicted that Liu Yifei would most likely give him a luxury watch that cost hundreds of thousands that night.

really.

Liu Yifei happily put away the necklace and rested it in Zhou Yutang's arms for a while. As if she remembered something, she took out an exquisite box from her bag:

"Xiao Zhou, I will also give you a watch."

time flies.

It’s the end of October in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Yutang is in the capital and is also concerned about the operation of the "Sword Rain" crew.

After receiving a report from Chen Xi, Liu Shishi had joined the team, but teacher Wang Xuexi had to take leave to attend the Golden Rooster Awards, and the leading actor Deng Chao also asked for leave.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Nanchang. Deng Chao is a native of Nanchang and was invited by the organizer to become the ambassador of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

The Golden Rooster Festival is definitely not as influential as the Golden Horse Awards, because the nature of the awards is governmental to a certain extent and represents the meaning of radio and television to a certain extent.

Since 2005, it has been held every two years, alternating with the Hundred Flowers Awards.

For example, "Assembly" in 07 was nominated for the Grand Prize this year. One of Zhou Yutang's "Those Years" and "The Lonely Agent" was nominated for best music, and the other was nominated for best editing.

They were all consolation awards and did not mean much, so Zhou Yutang asked Wen Muye to see the world.

Brother Chao is also making a glorious return to his hometown this time. He was nominated for the best supporting actor in "Assembly" and also performed "The Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion: The Feast" in Hanfu.

This year's Golden Rooster Best Actor is Wu Gang, the teacher Zhou Yutang found for Liu Tianxian in Renyi.

This person started acting in dramas in the 80s and was a mainstay in the arts. Later, he moved to the film and television industry, and he has mastered all kinds of roles quite well.

The two teachers that Zhou Yutang found for Liu Tianxian were Zhang Songwen, a double-actor, and Wu Gang, the newly minted Golden Rooster Award-winning actor.

The TV Emperor and the Movie Emperor all started to work together, and no one else was treated like this.

This year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor went to Wang Xuexi, and Chao Ge's trip was in vain again.
However, Wang Xuexi is also the King of Wheels in "Sword Rain", so it can be considered that the good news has not gone to outsiders.
Zhou Yutang won the two compensatory consolation prizes of Best Music and Best Editing, which is better than nothing.

Xiaogangpao was the biggest winner at this year's Golden Rooster Awards, winning Best Director and Best Feature Film for "Assembly".Several awards for best screenplay.

Zhou Xun won the best actress crown with "Li Mi's Conjecture" and Jiang Wenli's "The Beginning of Spring".

This is the end.

The 35-year-old Zhou Gongzi became the first actress in the Chinese film industry to win three gold medals.

10 month 30 day.

The listing of Huayi caused a big earthquake in the entire entertainment industry.

The first batch of 28 GEM companies were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Huayi Brothers closed at 70.82 yuan, an increase of 28.58% from the issue price of 147.8 yuan!

Feng Xiaogang holds 288 million shares with a book value of 2.04 million yuan, Zhang Jizhong holds 216 million shares with a book value of 1.53 million yuan, and Zhou Yutang, like Huang Xiaoming, holds 180 million shares with a book value of 1.27 million yuan!

The rest, Luo Haiqiong, holds 54 shares with a book value of 3823 million yuan, and Li Binbin, Ren Quan, Zhang Hanyu, Hu Ke, and Kang Honglei each hold 36 shares, with a book value of 2550 million yuan.

overnight.

Stocks that were originally worth several million had a few zeros added to them.

Zhou Yutang did not go to the scene, but after watching the live video online, the frenzied scene was like a group of demons dancing in the Hong Kong movie "Big Era".

It is worth mentioning that.

After chatting with Zhou Yutang last time, Zhou Xun went back and bought 18 shares, which are now worth 1274 million yuan.

On the evening of the day Huayi went public, Mr. Zhou called Zhou Yutang. His voice could not suppress the surprise: "Yu Tang, you are really amazing."

The newly minted three-gold Grand Slam actress also realized what the power of capital is. Her voice on the phone was filled with shock, and she also admired Zhou Yutang's vision.

It only cost her a few million to take on a movie, but now she made tens of millions without any effort.

It’s great to have a friend who can make you rich!

of course.

The capital behind Huayi also benefited greatly.

Ma Yun holds 1382.4 million shares with a book value of 9.79 million yuan, Jiang Nanchun and Lu Weiding hold 590.4 million shares with a book value of 4.19 million yuan, and Yu Feng holds 495.4 million shares with a book value of 3.52 million yuan.

Founding shareholder Wang Zhongjun holds 4390.8 million shares with a book value of 31.1 billion yuan, and Wang Zhonglei holds 1389.6 million shares with a book value of 9.84 million yuan.

Wang Zhongjun even said boldly: "I want to make Huayi the Time Warner of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Mr. Wang is still very courageous and has worked hard for several years to get listed.

Huayi Company’s next project plans were immediately revealed after the listing.

First, the movie "To Youth" co-produced by Huayi and Zhou Yutang will be released during the Spring Festival in December.

This year's little steel cannon was absent from the Lunar New Year festival. Unexpectedly, Huayi actually seized Zhou Yutang's trump card. Although Zhou Yutang himself did not star in it, as long as it is a film and television project he does, it is enough to make people look forward to it!

Second, next year Huayi Company will release big-budget movies such as "If You Are the One 2", "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" and "Tangshan Earthquake".

Besides.

Huayi will introduce Hello Kitty Entertainment Park for animation industry layout, and cooperate with Giant Group Shi Yuzhu. It will use 7000 million yuan of the super-raised funds to invest and control Huayi Giant by acquiring equity and increasing capital, acquiring 51% of Huayi Giant's shares. Equity.

Cinemas, TV series, film and television theme parks and new media are also within the company's development scope.

As soon as the project plan at the press conference was published in the newspaper, Huayi's stock price rose again, firmly establishing its position as the entertainment leader.

A huge tsunami followed in the entire film and television industry.

All the film and television companies in the industry with traditional business models were dumbfounded!
Here we are still adding rifles to Xiaomi, but you are using Italian cannons?
Film and television companies can still play like this! ?

overnight.

Huayi Company directly became a behemoth with a total market value of more than [-] billion, equivalent to fifty Yinghuang Entertainment!
This has undoubtedly changed the pattern of the entire film and television industry, and also announced that the entire entertainment industry has entered the era of capital.

Damimi seemed to have installed a monitor next to Zhou Yutang, and whenever he made money, she would send her caring and considerate greetings: "Yu Tang, have you really made hundreds of millions!?"

Hearing that Zhou Yutang became a minority shareholder of Huayi and made hundreds of millions overnight, Da Mimi felt a little dizzy.

Zhou Yutang explained: "This stock will not be sold in the short term."

The Huayi shares in his hands will be lifted from the ban next year, but the annual transfer ratio will not exceed 25% of the shares held.

You can also use subsequent operations to cash out during the peak period of Huayi stock.

Anyway, the initiative is in his hands.

..............................

a few days later.

Zhou Yutang was in a meeting at the company and received a call from Li Shuang: "Yu Tang, Wu Kebo from Chengtian Culture wants to invite you to dinner."

"I don't know him. Why does he want to have dinner with me?"

"He has the intention of injecting capital into Jiangdong Entertainment."

"Go back."

Zhou Yutang said directly without thinking.

He had never dealt with Wu Kebo, but from being around the industry, he knew that this man was the boss of Chengtian Culture.

In the past two years, Wu Kebo also used many methods to list Chengtian Culture, and formulated a backdoor listing plan, targeting Xiangjiang Jiahe Film Company.

It's a pity that Zou Wenhuai has not been able to bite off this old and hard bone for a long time. Unexpectedly, he turned his attention to Jiangdong Entertainment.

to be frank.

Wu Kebo's vision is still good.

Jiangdong Entertainment has been very popular in the industry recently because its reputation is so great. The film and television projects it has done are either phenomenal or blockbusters, and its overall profitability is frighteningly high.

If the size of Chengtian Culture and Jiangdong Entertainment were combined, they might be able to overpower Huayi.

but.

This person has a deep relationship with Japanese capital, and Zhou Yutang does not want to have anything to do with him.

I don’t even want to talk to him.
