Chapter 588 It is our duty to win glory for our country
A chiffon polka-dot shirt with a delicate lace knot at the neckline.
Paired with sky blue jeans, it is simple, down-to-earth, and indescribably fresh and sweet.
If it weren't for the two assistants behind Lin Yoona looking around nervously, Ni Ni would have even thought that this was a beauty from some university riding the subway.
Yes, you heard it right.
Lin Yoona suddenly came to China this time and did not notify Zhou Yutang in advance. She did not send the news until she got on the subway in Beijing.
Ni Ni met her at the exit of the subway station and made a greeting gesture: "Yooner, get on the train first. Your Chinese is very good."
"Thank you. You speak Korean very well."
Lin Yoona exchanged a few words with the two assistants behind her and followed Ni Ni into the nanny car.
This is not her first visit to the Chinese capital, but every time she comes, she feels the majestic atmosphere.
Along the way, I admired the scenery outside the window, chatted with Ni Ni, and soon arrived at Jiangdong Entertainment Building.
"Is this JD's headquarters?"
"Wow, it's really impressive. I heard the building is worth hundreds of billions of won."
"Dafa, that one seems to have purchased a lot of real estate in South Korea. He is completely a chaebol, a chaebol!"
Two followers sat in the back and whispered to each other.
It was obvious that they had done Zhou Yutang's homework before coming here, and their words were filled with wonder and even a little awe without realizing it.
"Ni Ni, is the Jiangdong branch moving soon?"
Lin Yoona followed Ni Ni into the company and asked curiously.
"Yes."
Ni Ni nodded and smiled: "We will move into the new building by October at the latest."
Zhou Yutang is somewhat addicted to buying a house.
This year, in order to meet the development needs of the Gangnam South Korea Branch, office buildings were purchased in Cheongdam-dong and Nonhyeon-dong, South Korea.
It is planned to be a new building for the Gangnam South Korea Branch, and the excess will be used for rent.
"Oppa is too rich."
Lin Yun'er felt very melancholy when she heard this.
Just the office building in Cheongdam-dong costs more than 30 billion won, at least more than 150 million won.
She thought about it for a long time before deciding to buy a villa in Jiangnan District.
In the Gangnam area of Seoul, an apartment costs at least 800 million won (about 100 square meters, about 4.5 million yuan).
The most expensive house can cost more than 2 billion won, which requires at least 18 years of salary for an average South Korean family.
In terms of housing prices, South Korea is not much different from China, and everyone is involved in the involution.
And the increase in South Korea is even more outrageous. Zhou Yutang started buying it at the beginning of the year, and it has appreciated a lot now.
When they arrived at Jiangdong Building, Ni Ni led Lin Yuner directly to Zhou Yutang's office. As for the two assistants, of course he would not let them ruin the scenery and had other arrangements.
When Lin Yoona walked into the office, she happened to see Zhou Yutang with his hands on the sofa and talking to someone in a relaxed posture: "Bob, if the box office of "Purge 2" can reach this level, you should be satisfied."
"Hey, Zhou, you are really a genius. If I were a woman, I would love you to death."
The old wall lamp was probably carried away by the surprise and was a little incoherent.
"Purge 2" is scheduled to be released on July 18, the same day as "Purge Day."
It was released in 3,405 theaters in North America, and the box office revenue during its first weekend was US$48.4 million, making it the first box office champion of the week.
It was unusually strong in pulling down "War for the Planet of the Apes: Battle for the Sun and Moon".
It still won the championship in the second week. Compared with the total production cost of only 10 million US dollars, this box office performance is already very explosive.
Now Zou Zhongyan, who is Zhou Yutang's spokesperson, and his partner Bob Lao have become powerful figures in Hollywood.
"Calm down, Bob, you laugh so loudly."
"Okay, okay, I'm so happy."
Old Bob wiped off the saliva and finally returned to normal: "Unfortunately, I guess I won't be able to stay at the top of the box office for too long. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" produced by Michael Bay will be released soon."
The biggest winner of this year's North American summer commercial films is none other than Zhou Yutang.
Although Michael Bay's "Transformers 4" has exceeded expectations at the box office, sweeping the world and raking in more than 1 billion US dollars.
But the total production cost of Tin Autobot exceeded US$170 million.
The industry is more concerned about the return on investment ratio.
At this point, Zhou Yutang, who quietly made a fortune behind the scenes by making two small and medium-budget movies, is like a god.
With a beauty by my side, how could I have the heart to listen to this old man's flattery? He just said a few words and then hung up the phone.
"Oppa, you were so impressive on the phone just now."
"Is it?"
Zhou Yutang held Yun'er's light body on his lap: "Why did you come here suddenly without saying a word?"
"Because I miss Oppa."
What more can be said?
It is our duty to win glory for our country?
The full knight posture ended and she entered the sage mode. Lin Yoona had a seductive blush on her face and her voice was a bit softer than before:
"Oppa, our company seems to be over."
"Why do you say that?"
Zhou Yutang felt inexplicably familiar, as if the first sister had also said this.
"Recently, a member of EXO sued the company and won the lawsuit. Does Oppa know about this?"
"I heard something."
"I heard that a Chinese entertainment company has privately contacted several other Chinese members of the group."
Lin Yoona's deer eyes are clear and smart, and she continued to reveal: "There is also Song Qian from Function Group, and she may also have the idea of returning to China for development."
Lu Han and Jiangdong Entertainment have reached an agreement long ago, and they will just wait until the time is right to bring their talents back to domestic entertainment.
As for Song Qian, she appeared in the "Sisters Over Flowers" variety show on Modu TV, and she was cast in Li Shaohong's TV series, all of which were introduced by Zhou Yutang.
The two have been flirting with each other for a day or two. They will set up a studio just waiting for her to return to China, and it will also be affiliated with Jiangdong Entertainment.
Zhou Yutang, who secretly exploits S\u0026M, has no clue of the mastermind behind it. Instead, he comforts her gently: "At least we still have our girlhood."
"Oppa, there is something wrong with our team."
Lin Yun'er's face wrinkled up and she sighed in distress.
"What happened?"
Just by looking at her expression, one could tell that the woman was at an emotional low, and Zhou Yutang knew very well that Yoona needed to talk.
Also knows how to be a listener.
Girls' Generation, the girl group that has reached the top of Asia, is not as peaceful as it seems to outside fans.
In the past, we all shared hardships together. No matter how hard it was, we were always happy with it. We were really like family.
Now that we have climbed to the top of Asia and it is time to enjoy the blessings, there has been a feeling of discord.
In the final analysis, it is still profit.
Within the group, the popularity of the members varies.
For example, a popular member can earn tens of millions, or even a few million, from personal endorsement announcements, so naturally there will be resentment.
There are also group members who have focused their energy outside the group and begun investing in their own fashion brands.
Recently, SNSD has renewed their contract, and the atmosphere has become a bit tense.
When it comes to this kind of thing, it's hard to say anything from Lin Yoona's point of view.
Normally he acts like a normal person and remains cheerful and lively. But now in a foreign country, in front of Zhou Yutang, he took off his mask without any burden and spoke out his inner thoughts.
"Oppa, you said that we have gone through so many difficulties together, why can't we continue walking together?"
At this time, Lin Yoona's beautiful little deer eyes were filled with moisture, looking particularly fragile and broken.
What a kind girl.
Zhou Yutang felt pity in his heart and patted her shoulder gently: "Things are not that bad. At least after you communicate, there is still the possibility of negotiation. The best result is that you all renew your contracts successfully. Continue to work as a group.”
"So... what's the worst outcome?"
"Because we couldn't agree on interests, someone in your group quit the team."
Zhou Yutang hit the nail on the head: "From the company's standpoint, we will definitely not allow group members to challenge the company's rules."
The reason is also very simple.
Idols are commodities and do not need to have their own thoughts.
Using SNSD's fame to build a personal brand actually harms the interests of the entire collective.
But from the perspective of the group members, this is also a very sensible and reasonable behavior.
After all, no one is eighteen forever, and girl groups have a prime period of ten years at most.
Girls' Generation's idol journey has reached its peak, and there is no way to go.
Unless you transition to an actor like Lin Yoona, not everyone has acting talent, and S\u0026M Company does not have enough resources.
Everyone thinks about their future.
Zhou Yutang's voice was low and light, but it seemed to have a magical power that could make people believe it unconsciously.
Lin Yuner listened very carefully and was silent for a while.
She's not a fool who doesn't understand anything.
On the contrary, he is very smart.
I quickly understood what Zhou Yutang meant, and I couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
Everything he did seemed effortless.
When I first met Zhou Yutang, I was attracted by his deep and calm temperament.
Now as he gets bigger and bigger, his temperament has accumulated and become more mature, which is really fascinating.
Compared with those young masters of the plutocrats, they are as different as clouds and mud.
"I see."
Lin Yoona gradually figured it out, suddenly smiled and said: "If possible, can Oppa help at this critical moment?"
"What level of help are you referring to?"
"If this is really the worst outcome, then with Oppa's ability, Sika's situation should be able to be made less embarrassing."
"You might as well be more clear about what you said."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, and wrapped his hands around Lin Yuner's slim waist.
Girls who practice dancing all year round are different. There is not a trace of fat on their waists and they feel great.
"Isn't Oppa planning to sign Lu Han and Song Qian?"
Lin Yoona tilted her head and blinked her deer-like eyes, revealing a sly tone: "When the situation is really that bad, can you please ask Oppa to sign another Sika?"
Zhou Yutang looked at Lin Yuner intently for half a minute.
It was like meeting her for the first time.
Yoona, who looks innocent and beautiful on the surface, has her own ideas.
"Oppa, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Have you known this for a long time?" Zhou Yutang asked calmly.
"I guess, it feels like it might happen."
Lin Yoona felt a little embarrassed by Zhou Yutang's hot and deep gaze, and muttered: "If Oppa doesn't want to, forget it, I won't tell anyone."
"I have no objection. Of course, this must be based on her own willingness."
Zhou Yutang pondered for a long time, then agreed with a slight smile.
He has a good impression of the Bingshan Queen.
Being ambitious is not a bad thing. From a business perspective, Jessica is firmly in the top three in terms of popularity in Girls' Generation, and if she wins, she will be a qualified money tree.
Seeing the man in front of her agree, Lin Yoona should have been happy, but suddenly she was a little worried: "Oppa, I'm taking the liberty, will this bring you trouble?"
"It's not troublesome."
There was a look of disdain in Zhou Yutang's eyes, and he said in a leisurely manner: "Li Xiuman is not convinced, let him come to me."
With his current strength, he doesn't care about the feelings of S\u0026M Company at all.
The cooperation and layout with Li Fuzhen in South Korea is not something that the S\u0026M family can shake.
In China, it is Zhou Yutang’s home court, and even Huale dared to step on S\u0026M and abduct Wu Yifan.
As long as he wants, he can even overtake S\u0026M in the Chinese market.
"Oppa, thank you."
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."
"That may be true for you, but for me, this is important."
From Lin Yuner's perspective, this is not an easy task.
She took the initiative to move forward and kissed him.
The warm breaths intertwined with each other.
Even the air seemed to be filled with sweet scent.
Zhou Yutang did not forget to pay attention to the development of JD. Entertainment, the South Korean branch.
Apart from Crown Group's new album, the most important thing this year is Wang Jiaer's debut and the film project "Broken Tomb" in cooperation with Showbox.
It has now entered the final casting stage.
This movie has just been approved and has already attracted the attention of the entire South Korean entertainment industry.
Zhou Yutang is the big boss who still suppresses the entire South Korean film rankings.
The script he wrote has a bright future.
What's more, Bong Joon-ho, a leading figure in the South Korean film industry, was invited to direct the film, and Jang Jae-hyun was appointed as the assistant director.
Other characters have also made waves in the South Korean entertainment industry.
I don’t know how many entertainment companies want to join the game and promote people to positions.
Pei Yun sent a report back in late July and initially selected the starring list.
In addition to the default heroine Lee Ji-eun, there are also Chungmuro actor Choi Min-sik, stunning newcomer Yoo Ah-in, and golden supporting role Yu Hae-jin.
With such a luxurious cast, it has been rated as the most anticipated movie of the year by South Korean media.
none of them.
Lin Yoona actually has a work schedule when she comes back to China.
A film and television company in China sent her a film appointment, and she came here to ask Zhou Yutang's opinion.
""Martial God Zhao Zilong"?"
"Oppa, what do you think?"
Lin Yuner held her chin in her hands, with a look of hope on her face.
She is also a little thoughtful.
If you film in China, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to meet Zhou Yutang then.
"This script is terrible."
Zhou Yutang threw aside the script she brought, shook her head, and laughed.
Among the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun's image of a white horse and a silver spear, heroic appearance, bravery, and loyal protection of the Lord has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The historical theme of a famous general was turned into a costume romance idol drama.
From Zhou Yutang's point of view, it has no value at all, and it only makes people laugh when filmed.
I called Li Shuang and got the exact news soon.
The producer is Yongle Film and Television, which has a background in Blueberry Channel. It has produced TV series such as "The Legend of the Gods", "New Journey to the West", "New Water Margin", and "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
It can be regarded as a veteran film and television company in the industry. It seems that various entertainment companies have gone public one after another, and everyone is full of food.
The big guys at Blueberry Station behind the scenes couldn’t sit still anymore and started working.
At the beginning of the year, Huayi announced that in order to strengthen the TV drama sector, it would acquire 51% of Yongle Film and Television for 398 million yuan. Similar to the operation method of acquiring Zhang Guoli Company, the two parties signed a profit-betting agreement.
The big bomb released this year is the project "Martial God Zhao Zilong", which hired Lim Yoona from SNSD to be the heroine.
"That's it"
Lin Yoona was slightly disappointed when she heard this: "Then I'll let the company refuse."
S\u0026M's film and television resources are pitiful, and this project is almost like pie in the sky.
"Let's wait for a while."
Zhou Yutang hugged Lin Yuner and comforted her gently: "There will definitely be a chance."
"Lim Yoona was caught by chance while riding the subway in Beijing, and fans captured beautiful photos."
"Zhou Yutang and Lin Yoona walked together to watch the movie "Wolf Warrior". The South Korean goddess is in love with the Governor of Jiangdong."
Lin Yoona had another announcement, she just stayed in the capital for one night and flew back to South Korea early the next morning.
But a passer-by posted the photos online, which caused a stir, and fans in China were completely outraged.
"By the way, Lin Yoona is so beautiful."
"Zhou Yutang is also super handsome and a perfect match. No need to say more."
"The fans asked Zhou Yutang to rush in. He really came forward when something happened. Tears in his eyes."
"As Sone, I chased her all the way, and I actually have quite a lot of emotions. All old fans know that Yoona's ideal type is no secret. I hope Zhou Yutang will take it easy and treat her better so that Yoona can be happy."
"Okay, okay, I support Zhou Yutang this time."
"Zhou Yutang, your hatred and I share the same hatred."
Some SNSD fans are probably so heartbroken that they can't breathe when they think of their goddess being stood up and kicked by others.
But most of them are just there to watch the fun.
A few days ago, we lost our goddess Tang Wei, but now Zhou Yutang has brought her back to the spot. Everyone is smiling and excited.
On the same day, Zhou Yutang was reported in the official news.
Of course, it was not because of the scandal with Lin Yuner.
It was because of the "China-Korea Film Co-production Agreement" officially signed by the South Korean and Chinese officials.
Netizens are only concerned about the romance between the two, but the attention of the industry companies is all on this agreement.
According to the content of the agreement, from now on, the films co-produced by the two countries will enjoy the treatment of domestic films in the markets of the two countries, and will no longer be subject to the conditions of imported films.
In the past two years, the general trend is that South Korea is actively moving closer to China, and the relationship between the two countries is in a honeymoon period.
As a bridgehead for cultural exchanges, Zhou Yutang's two film projects, "20 Again" and "Broken Tomb", have already come to the fore.
Many film and television companies in the circle have started to think about it.
Everyone who follows Zhou Yutang knows that he has been doing very well in South Korea in recent years. He is literally picking up money with a sack.
Who wouldn't be envious? Who wouldn't be jealous?
