Chapter 682: Sweeping the National Day box office, the top brother Zhou Yutang

At such an ordinary wedding banquet.

I heard the news that Meituan and Dianping are about to merge.

Zhou Yutang was surprised.

He had heard Wang Xing mention it before.

But at that time, it was just an intention. Now Shen Nanpeng has put it on the table, and the capital game has basically been completed.

After a slight change of mind, Zhou Yutang raised his glass and smiled: "Congratulations to Mr. Shen in advance."

According to the current size of Meituan and Dianping, the valuation of the new company will probably not be less than 15 billion US dollars.

In this way, the shares held by Shen Nanpeng's Sequoia Capital are still above Alibaba and Tencent.

This young and precocious Zhejiang businessman will become the behind-the-scenes helmsman of this 100 billion aircraft carrier.

"Haha, there are still some details to discuss."

Shen Nanpeng is of moderate stature, pushing the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, with an elegant temperament and a faint smile on his lips:

"Mr. Zhou is also a shareholder, and there will be many places for cooperation in the future."

There is nothing wrong with this.

The venture capital company controlled by Zhou Yutang invested a lot of money in Meituan in its early stages.

However, it basically did not ask about the specific operations of the company.

This year, Meituan also hired Liu Tianxian as its spokesperson at a high price.

"The personnel structure of each company remains unchanged, and each brand business operates independently."

"Wang Xin and Zhang Tao will serve as co-CEOs and co-chairmen at the same time."

"Why, do you want to have two people in charge?"

Zhou Yutang joked.

"Haha, aren't you Mingjie two people in charge?"

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Ma Ge took the initiative to move closer and said, "Mr. Zhou, I wish the Jiangdong team good results in the world finals. I heard that Game Science is working on a domestic 3A game project recently?"

"Mr. Ma is really well-informed."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If there is a need for funds, Tencent is very interested in following the investment."

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised: "Feng Ji and his team are not very successful in "God of War", so Mr. Ma is still following up?"

"I am not investing in the game department, I am investing in Mr. Zhou."

Two groups of wise lights reflected behind the lens of Brother Ma, Zhou Yutang smiled and declined: "Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your kindness, for now."

In the past, they made a fortune in a low-key manner, but now that Jiangdong has become bigger, they can't be low-key even if they want to.

As soon as Jiangdong Entertainment's film and television projects were filed and approved, film and television companies in the circle immediately began to study and follow suit.

The same is true for Xingchen Games. For several consecutive years, they have been making a lot of money by taking advantage of the trend of Jiangdong's popular film and television IPs, which naturally attracted the attention of the game circle.

This includes Tencent.

This year, Xingchen's MOBA mobile game "Honor of Kings" has been officially tested on Android and IOS platforms.

It has been soaring on the global mobile game best-selling list.

A few days ago, Chen Min went to Beijing to report on his work and reported that Tencent had prepared two teams and quietly operated two mobile game projects that followed the trend.

One has died, and the other is still lingering on.

In the invisible place, there is also an extremely tragic silent fight.

Xiao Ma Ge's meaning is that if you can't beat them, you want to join them, acquire some shares of Xingchen Games, and deepen the cooperative relationship.

Zhou Yutang didn't nod for the time being. It's not that cheap.

By next year, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will almost be released. By then, the valuation of Xingchen Games may have to double several times.

Ni Ni is right next to him.

Watching Zhou Yutang chatting and laughing with Shen Nanpeng, Xiao Ma Ge and others.

She looks calm on the surface, but her heart is full of ups and downs.

"Wow, Zhou, this is such a romantic love story."

The melodious music sounded, and Bob, the old man, was more excited than his own wedding.

Zhou Yutang also clapped his hands softly: "Who said it wasn't?"

Milk tea was wearing a long white wedding dress, inlaid with countless pearls, dazzling and eye-catching.

Dong Ge was also dressed in a white suit, with a spring breeze on his face.

Ni Ni followed the applause, but suddenly remembered a joke on the Internet:

As long as you have money and your girlfriend is still in kindergarten.

This is a joke that has come true.

The love between Dong Ge and Milk Tea has always been controversial.

The two are 19 years apart, and Dong Ge and his father-in-law are only two years apart.

The father-in-law did not come to the scene today, but I don’t know why.

The wedding was very successful, and the dinner was held at a resort hotel.

The guests had a great time.

It can be seen that Dong Ge was very happy. He hugged Zhou Yutang familiarly and said kindly:

"Yutang, thank you for your hard work. You put down your work and made a special trip."

"Just to be lazy, when will my sister-in-law give birth?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at Milk Tea's slightly bulging belly.

Dong Ge and Milk Tea broke up this year, and he talked to him about it. Later, Milk Tea compromised.

Now it can be regarded as a pregnancy marriage, but Dong Ge has made detailed arrangements for the property.

"Probably, in March next year."

When Dong Ge spoke, he smiled happily and his eyes were bright.

I think so. What else can a man ask for when he is so successful in life?

"Dong Ge and Milk Tea Sister got married on National Day. The domineering president got the beauty!"

"Milk Tea Sister married a super rich man 19 years older than her. It is important for a woman to marry the right one!"

"At the wedding, there were many bigwigs. Zhou Yutang and Xiao Ma Ge were chatting and laughing!"

After the wedding in Australia, the press release was arranged.

Not only in China, but also in major foreign media, it was reported.

After all, Dong Ge is the head of Jingdong with a market value of 40 billion US dollars, so he still has some face.

After the wedding.

Zhou Yutang had a private chat with Shen Nanpeng, Xiao Ma Ge and others, and he didn't mention it much.

But he didn't stay long.

He took a private plane back to China the next day.

The National Day battle is in full swing.

The Sino-Korean co-production "The Third Way of Love" was hit hard when it was released, and it failed to reap the benefits of the National Day.

Because nearly 90% of the screenings were absorbed by Hong Kong囧 and The Magic Pirates.

"On the first day of the National Day holiday, at 2 pm, in just six and a half days, the box office of Lost in Hong Kong in the mainland exceeded the 1 billion mark!"

"The single-day box office of Now You See Me 2 closed at 232 million, and the total box office exceeded 1 billion, setting a new record for the fastest box office to break 1 billion!"

"Guo Fan ascended to heaven and entered the 1 billion box office club in one step. The miracle continues!"

After Lost in Hong Kong entered the National Day holiday, the box office rose against the trend, and the single-day box office closed at over 100 million for two consecutive days.

The Magic Group, jointly promoted by Jiangdong Group, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda Group, etc., has a stronger momentum and has achieved a curve overtaking on the second day of the National Day holiday.

On October 3, the box office of Now You See Me 2 closed at 145 million again, and the total box office climbed to 1.517 billion.

A series of records of domestic films were shattered.

The entire Chinese film industry was shaken by it.

"To be fair, Zhou Yutang's box office appeal in today's film and television industry is unmatched.

In order to create a group image, the sequel to The Devil's Gate seems to have reduced Zhou Yutang's sense of invisibility, and the content of Tang has decreased. Some plots cannot stand scrutiny, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits. The overall quality of the movie can be given 80 points, which is a qualified commercial blockbuster.

For a new director like Guo Fan, he can be given 90 points for being able to achieve this level.

Such a box office is probably the choice of the market."

A certain influential expert in the film and television industry spoke out.

As the movie is popular.

The reputation of Hong Kong囧 has fallen at a light speed, and the reputation of The Devil's Gate sequel is slightly inferior to the previous one.

But this year's National Day file, there are only these two strong films colliding.

If the audience is allowed to make a choice, most of the audience will still choose The Devil's Gate.

After all, the bald man surnamed Bao and Baoqiang's box office appeal are not at the same level.

Zhou Yutang's amazing magic show in the rain has become a hot topic on social media with the help of publicity and marketing.

Many viewers went to the cinema for this reason, and even watched the show again and again after reading various details on the Internet.

Moreover, compared with the Hong Kong囧, which was promoted by Xu Guangtou alone, the main creators of the roadshow of the Magic Thieves can be said to be luxurious.

At present, "Nirvana in Fire" is still on the air, and Jiang Zuomeilang personally appeared to promote the roadshow, which was very popular.

Deng Chao has no idol burden and is particularly good at creating an atmosphere. He interacted with the audience during the roadshow and played funny tricks repeatedly.

Nazha's face is still there, and her beauty alone makes the headlines.

This year's League of Legends S5 World Finals will be held in Paris, France.

Xiao Ma Ge talked about this at the wedding. Tencent took action as early as 2011 and spent 400 million US dollars to acquire 93% of Riot Games' shares.

This year, it swallowed up the entire Riot Games in one go.

Today, Riot Games is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent, but in terms of operations, it is still fully responsible and independently operated by the original founder and management team.

Among the plans that Xiao Ma Ge drew for Zhou Yutang, there was a plan to tilt Riot's official resources to support the Jiangdong team.

Zhou Yutang also paid attention to the performance of his own team.

Strictly speaking.

It was somewhat disappointing.

Last year, the dynasty was not half established, but it collapsed in the middle, and unfortunately lost to the Samsung team and lost the chance to defend the title.

This year, the Jiangdong team has undergone a major change.

After the top laner and jungler left the team, the support also retired and became an assistant coach.

Today's mid laner is still Faker.

The AD player is still UZI.

The support is the newcomer Meiko.

The top laner is the talented rookie Flandre.

It's also interesting to say that this kid was originally the king of passers-by in the national server, and later joined the private team of the B station anchor Dong Xiaosa to participate in the anchor network competition held by the live broadcast platform.

As a result, he unexpectedly broke through the top laners of all lanes, made a big splash, and successfully won the championship.

Flandre was signed by Jiangdong along with the support player of Dong Xiaosa's team because of his obvious talent.

As for Jiangdong's jungler this year, it is Peanut, a South Korean player.

This is also a talented newcomer discovered by the coaching staff.

The current lineup has been running in for a season, and finally entered the global finals as the No. 2 seed.

The entire e-sports circle is also surging.

Last season's champion Samsung team was directly emptied.

Wanda Xiaowang used his money power, and IG signed Samsung's star player Rouji and jungler Kakao.

Another wealthy team EDG, the son of the CEO of Hopson Development Group, also spent a huge amount of money to win another Samsung star player Pawn.

As for last year's Samsung champion AD Rat King Imp, he was signed by the old Chinese e-sports team LGD.

He formed a twin star with Gao Dewei, swept the LPL, and won the summer championship.

"This year is the most promising year for LPL."

Zhou Yutang occasionally visits B station to watch live broadcasts. During a roadshow a few days ago, he accidentally clicked into the live broadcast room of this year's champion mid-lane Gao Dewei, and saw him playing the newly launched Langya Bang web game live.

"Oh, this Langya Bang B web game is really fun. I tell you, I am the number one in combat power in the entire server!"

The little fat guy seemed to have recharged a lot of money. An audience in the live broadcast room recognized Zhou Yutang's ID and swiped the screen crazily. Gao Dewei was very excited and said on the spot:

"Fuck, the Grand Commander is here too. I heard that the Grand Commander also likes to play games. This year's champion rewards skins. What kind of hero skin do you want? I will choose it when the time comes."

Crazy!

This little fat guy knows how to make live broadcast effects.

Zhou Yutang ignored his inflated speech and switched to Zhou Erke's live broadcast room in a blink of an eye. It sounded pleasant and swiped a hundred spaceships.

This is the most valuable gift for B station live broadcast at present, priced at 1,000 yuan each.

Zhou Erke, who was singing her famous song "Walking in the Cold Wind", was almost crying with excitement, and thanked her top brother a thousand times.

Then, on the same day, the news that Zhou Yutang rewarded a female anchor became a hot search.

"Brother, don't be fooled."

Nazha saw the news and felt a little sour, and revealed indignantly:

"This kind of female anchor only looks good in the video, but in fact, they all use beauty cameras. In reality, they must be ugly, and they are A"

This is not without reason.

Once the beauty is turned on.

Everyone is Yutang and Yifei.

Let these so-called beautiful anchors show their faces offline, and seven out of ten will die in the light.

Because they have to be on camera, all kinds of shortcomings of the head, face and figure will be magnified.

In this regard, most Internet celebrities and celebrity artists are definitely not comparable.

Nazha relied on her appearance to fight a bloody road from the involution of the domestic entertainment.

Now it is recognized that the 90s flower god has a face, and the country is there.

But she said that people are a bit unreasonable.

Zhou Yutang, who returned to the roadshow team, looked at Nazha's steamed dumplings again and was a little surprised.

I felt even more relieved.

The efforts I spent in the past were not in vain. Nazha had a hint of secondary development.

Although it was not big.

But at least the child would not have to go hungry in the future...

The National Day holiday is over.

In the Chinese film market, apart from "The Magicians" and "Lost in Hong Kong", Tom Cruise and the Minions were easily sent away.

The Sino-Korean co-production blockbuster with Sister Lianhua and Song Seung-heon only reported a total box office of 67.2 million, and was directly buried in the ground.

"Now You See Me 2" was released for 11 days, and the total box office was 1.873 billion, and the 2 billion box office was within reach!"

"The cumulative box office of "Lost in Hong Kong" was 1.486 billion, and the single-day box office fell to more than 10 million, and its potential will be exhausted."

This battle between dragons and tigers has finally come to an end. The next imported blockbusters "Ant-Man" and "007: Spectre" are ready to take over.

However, La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun appeared in public several times, laughing harder than AK, and even the hotel for the celebration banquet had been booked in advance.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhou, before the filming of the movie, I didn't expect to achieve such box office results. For a new director, I have gained too much.

I also thank my relatives and friends who have always supported me, including fans who walked into the cinema, and the audience who gave pertinent opinions.

Finally, I want to say to everyone that the road ahead is long and there is a long way to go.

The story of the magic thief is not over yet, and I will continue to work hard to bring more exciting movies to the audience [fist]."

Guo Fan, who reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted, was a little emotional. He posted a long article on Weibo, briefly stating his mental journey when filming this movie.

He also actively interacted with fans below and accidentally let it slip.

The next movie may be a science fiction theme.

"Oh my god!? Could it be that The Three-Body Problem is coming!?"

"It's possible. The copyrights of Liu Cixin's novels are all in Jiangdong's hands. It all depends on the Grand Commander's idea."

"One person wrote in blood that the Grand Commander will invest in The Three-Body Problem. I will definitely contribute to the box office!"

"+1!"

"+10086!"

The netizens were very excited, and all media were reporting on the matter.

This year, Liu Cixin made a big splash abroad and won the Hugo Award.

Since then, Chinese science fiction has entered everyone's field of vision, and many netizens have gone to Zhou Yutang's Weibo to comment.

"This colander."

On the way to Huang Xiaoming's wedding, Zhou Yu shook his head and laughed: "Why did you spoil the plot?"

In fact, a few years ago, he formulated the development route of the entire Jiangdong Film and Television.

Multi-type film and television flourished, actively laid out, and promoted the heavy industrial commercial blockbusters of China.

It was just that the conditions were not mature at the time, so they could only accumulate strength silently. Now that everything is ready, it is natural to prepare for the project.

The National Day holiday is over, Deng Chao and Hu Ge are still on the roadshow, but Zhou Yutang's roadshow is over ahead of schedule.

Many media reporters couldn't find anyone even if they wanted to interview him.

Reporter A Fei, who is also from Shandong Province, met Zhou Yutang at the airport and asked him about this matter a little excitedly:

"Mr. Zhou, is Director Guo's revelation on Weibo true? Is Jiangdong going to invest in "The Three-Body Problem"? "

"Several projects, including "The Three-Body Problem", have been filed and approved, but which one to shoot first needs to be evaluated."

Guo Fan leaked the news in advance, and Zhou Yutang saw an acquaintance he liked, so he simply gave him some information:

"I can't say too much about other things, but Guo Fan has been confirmed to direct. We expect more information in the first half of next year. Please pay attention to the official website information then."

Among the senior executives of Jiangdong, several of them originally complained about Guo Fan's handling of such a large film and television project.

It was Zhou Yutang who made the decision and appointed him.

After seeing the amazing box office returns of "Now You See Me 2", all the doubting voices disappeared.

Only a group of voices eulogized him.

Praise Zhou Yutang for his "insight and vision", and praise Guo Fan for his "late bloomer and extraordinary talent".

What they play is reality.

A Fei received the explosive news, and his hands were shaking with excitement. He was greedy for more, and continued to ask:

"Then can you tell me the progress of the casting for your next film and television project "The Lonely and Great God"?

"For this play, it will be finalized this month at the latest."

Recently, life has been really good, and relatives and friends have been getting married.

In addition to Brother Dong, Huang Xiaoming's wedding can be said to be a major event in the entertainment industry.

This guy is well-known for his connections. From the boss of a film and television company to all the behind-the-scenes personnel in the circle, they all came to support him.

Dior Creative Director Raf Simons personally designed and had craftsmen spend thousands of hours making a Western-style wedding dress, which made Qin Lan radiant.

The B station live broadcast platform broadcast the entire wedding from all angles and received a lot of attention.

On the wedding day, it almost dominated the headlines of major entertainment portals.

Zhou Yutang lent his private plane to Huang Xiaoming to take the bride back to his hometown, which was also a good talk for a while.

Lin Liang was so worried that his hair fell out recently.

As an old minister of Jiangdong who had the merit of following the dragon, his status may not be as good as Li Shuang.

But in the entire Jiangdong system, he undoubtedly occupies a very important position.

The chief casting director appointed by the Grand Commander.

Zhou Yutang's play, whoever he wanted to use, was done by him.

This "The Lonely and Great God" is no exception.

The big boss is very busy and has to manage his time, so he has become a hands-off boss.

Lin Liang can understand the big boss's hard work and took on the preparatory work for the drama.

The supporting roles are okay, they are all acting talents.

The problem lies in the heroine of this S-level drama.

It is a magical resource that the actresses in the circle are fighting for.

There are open and secret arrows, and the bloody storm continues.

Today, a popular actress came out of Jiangdong for a secret audition, and the next moment the opponent began to release negative press releases.

There is a professional term for this in the entertainment industry called "explosion prevention".

That is, using unconventional means to prevent the opponent from suddenly becoming popular.

There are several actresses with good conditions and promising prospects, but they were exposed at the critical moment and were removed.

For such a big project, Lin Liang would not take the risk of using problematic artists.

The beauties around Zhou Yutang were also secretly trying to find out the news.

Even Liu Tianxian and Yijie, who seemed to not care, came to Lin Liang privately.

"Mi Mi/Tang Tang/Bin Bin/Yuan Yuan, I'm just running errands for the boss. This condition was set by Mr. Zhou, and he has the final say on who to hire. Yeah, don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

Lin Liang said similar words many times, and then turned around and reported to Zhou Yutang in detail.

He could understand the thoughts of those women, who were probably worried about causing Zhou Yutang's disgust, but Lin Liang knew better who was paying him.

"Don't worry about them, select according to the conditions, and communicate more with Teacher Yu and Director Lin."

Zhou Yutang's reply was concise.

He only looked at the final list after screening.

"The Unbreakable Love Letter" cut in the middle, and after Lin Liang followed up on the project, he continued to audition.

You want to break the atmosphere of the little white flower, right?

China is so big, there are so many beauties, there will always be one that can satisfy the boss.

PS: This heroine should be guessed by no one
