Chapter 490 The mother-in-law is visiting her son-in-law and the annual party cannot be stopped.
Zhou Yutang has been dealing with veterans in the system such as Tong Bureau and Han Sanping all day recently.
He has some success in thick black science, and is especially good at observing people.
But at this time, she was still a little unsure of what Aunt Liu was thinking. Her mature and beautiful face seemed a little pleased, but also a little complicated.
After about half a minute of silence, Aunt Liu quietly said: "Xiao Zhou."
"Um?"
Zhou Yutang responded.
Except for Miss Liu, only Aunt Liu shouted like this.
I got used to calling him like this when I met him on the set of the Divine Condor. Later, Aunt Liu called me Director Xiao Zhou for a while, but finally changed it back.
In fact, sometimes, the title reflects the relationship status between two people. Zhou Yutang understands that in Aunt Liu's heart, she is probably treated as one of her own.
"Auntie is old. I can't control the affairs of you young people."
"Auntie, if you go out with Sissi, others will definitely say you are sisters."
"Sissi has followed me around since she was a child and has suffered a lot. In this circle, it is actually not easy to get to where she is today."
Aunt Liu waved her hand, her expression calmed down, she looked at Zhou Yutang, and said seriously: "In the future, I will probably have to rely on you to take more care of Sissy."
"Auntie, don't worry."
Zhou Yutang quietly affirmed Aunt Liu's contribution: "Actually, you helped her even more in life."
"What I can do to help her are these little things."
As expected, Aunt Liu had an imperceptible smile on her face, and she felt helpless: "Sissi has actually been very good and obedient since she was a child, but the older she gets, the more rebellious she becomes. Whatever I say, she will confront me."
"Sissi loses her temper occasionally. If she loses her temper, it's not because she's annoying you, but because she wants you to coax her more. If you give her a step down, Sissi is still very sensible."
Zhou Yutang listened quietly and put out the cigarette he had not smoked.
Aunt Liu seemed to have said everything on her mind in one breath.
Probably all adults are always children in the hearts of their parents.
Although Aunt Liu is not very professional, she really has nothing to say when it comes to taking care of her daughter.
Zhou Yutang thought for a moment before speaking: "Auntie, Qianqian actually has some ideas."
"Sometimes, her ideas are very simple and naive."
Aunt Liu shook her head, turned around and said with concern: "You just came back from America. Is the business going well?"
"It went pretty smoothly."
Zhou Yutang smiled: "There is a script over there, which is quite suitable for Sissy."
"Is it the "Super Body"?"
"Auntie also knows?"
"I heard someone from the company said, will you go home for the New Year this year? If not, come home to celebrate the New Year together."
Aunt Liu always had a smile on her face and took the initiative to invite: "Anyway, it's close to your place. I'll invite Changchang to join us. There are many people during the New Year and it will be more lively."
"I have to go home to celebrate the New Year this year. Grandma is not in good health."
"Then you really need to go back and see the old man. You seem to have bought a lot of houses. Are you optimistic about real estate?"
Aunt Liu asked with interest.
"Real estate will revitalize the country, and buying a house will be a good investment within at least ten years."
Zhou Yutang said without blushing or heart beating.
His mind changed slightly, how could he not understand that his secret purchase of a large villa near Tianxian's house had long been in the hands of Aunt Liu.
Needless to say, Aunt Liu must be well aware of the matter.
"That's really something you can consider."
Aunt Liu nodded thoughtfully.
Putting aside her emotional life, she fully recognized and even admired Zhou Yutang's investment vision.
Being able to start from scratch and achieve a net worth of tens of billions in the entertainment industry, and even prosper in Hollywood, it is difficult for anyone of his age to match him.
Even Lao Chen fell short.
Liu Yifei has made a lot of money in the past few years. She stays at home when she is not filming. Aunt Liu is basically in charge of the money.
Aunt Liu's thinking is still stuck in the old way, and she is very satisfied with the relatively conservative investment method of house.
While chatting with Aunt Liu about investing, Liu Yifei came in from the outside with Shu Chang, wrinkled her nose, locked eyes with Zhou Yutang, pouted and said:
"Xiao Zhou, why are you smoking again?"
"Did you believe me when I said I didn't smoke?"
Zhou Yutang looked innocent.
In fact, he was not addicted to smoking, but during this period he often hung out with smokers like Han Sanping, Li Lu, and Kong Sheng to talk about the drama "In the Name of the People".
Everyone smokes, and if he doesn't smoke alone, he doesn't seem to be a gregarious person.
Rather than passively inhaling second-hand smoke, it is better to harm each other with them.
The dinner was finally over, and then everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.
Zhou Yutang was too embarrassed to abduct her daughter in front of Aunt Liu, so she only handed the document bag containing the script to Liu Yifei on the pretext that she had a meeting to attend.
Liu Yifei didn't feel bored either. Shu Chang was playing with her tonight.
Her home was fully equipped with KTV, gym, etc., and the two girlfriends had a lot of fun. After taking a shower, they watched the popular "Celebrating More Than Years" in the movie theater and chatted.
Shu Chang held Liu Yifei's arm with a narrow smile on his face: "Sissi, tonight is the time for the mother-in-law to see her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more satisfied she becomes."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I think Auntie is very satisfied with Zhou Yutang."
Any child who had a miserable childhood is always more judgmental than his peers, and this is the case with Shu Chang.
In front of her best friend, she couldn't help teasing her: "In my opinion, someone really wanted to go back with Boss Xiao Zhou at night. His car even drove away, and he watched eagerly for two miles."
"Changchang, I'm going to kill you."
Liu Yifei took action even though she said nothing.
She keeps exercising for at least an hour every day, and she also does yoga. It's so energizing, and there's no pressure to suppress Shu Chang with force.
While the two girlfriends were playing around, Shu Chang accidentally touched that spot, his pupils were shaking, and he couldn't help but said: "Sissi, why have you gotten bigger!?"
The scale of conversation between good best friends is absolutely beyond imagination. Shu Chang is very familiar with Liu Yifei's figure.
"I want you to take care of it?"
Liu Yifei became angry, slapped the hand away, and adjusted her shoulder strap.
Having fun and having fun together, sisters watching dramas together and chatting together are also one of the joys of life.
I happened to see the kiss scene between Fan Xian and the chicken leg girl.
When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, the man was laughing among the bushes.
Paired with soft and soothing BGM, the atmosphere is full and the picture is picturesque.
Shu Chang had to admit that Zhou Yutang did have a versatile physique.
The main reason is that he himself is one of Asia's top looks, and the actresses who have played lovers with him include Zeng Li, Liu Shishi, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, Gao Yuanyuan, and Li Yao.
They are all recognized as top goddesses in the industry. Even Gulinazha, the little flower from Koto who recently became famous because of "Now You See Me", also stands out for her beauty.
Every time a couple plays together, it gives the audience a visual enjoyment, so natural that it doesn't look like a performance at all.
Seeing Li Yao's cheeks flushed, his red lips slightly parted, the shyness in his eyes seemed to pull out thin threads.
Shu Chang couldn't help but secretly praise that this Jiang Dong Xiaohua's acting skills are really good.
Secretly observing Liu Yifei's expression, he found that there was no displeasure on her face. Shu Chang was even more impressed. Seeing his best friend's phone screen light up, he received a message from Xiao Zhou, and her beautiful face instantly He smiled from the bottom of his heart.
After the TV series ended, listening to the ending song and chatting about the plot with Liu Yifei, Shu Chang asked: "Qianxi, I recently watched your Xiao Zhou's "In the Snow", and I feel that this novel will be very exciting if it is made into a TV series. .”
"Xiao Zhou already said he wanted to take pictures."
"Then do you know when filming will start?"
Shu Chang immediately became interested, pulled Liu Yifei and said excitedly: "I feel that you are very suitable to play the heroine Jiang Ni."
"I don't know either. Xiao Zhou said that "In the Snow" has many big scenes and is more difficult to shoot, so I will give it a try with "Celebrating More Than Years" first."
Liu Yifei obviously knows a lot of inside information: ""Now You See Me" is also a very important attempt, and it seems to be quite successful so far."
"How can your Xiao Zhou be so rich?"
Shu Chang poked Liu Yifei's waist: "I just saw media reports the day before yesterday, saying that he bought several batches of the most advanced equipment, had in-depth cooperation with Warner, and has been cultivating high-level special effects talents. He was burned by that special effects company With at least tens of millions of dollars, Vision Media is the top special effects company in the country."
“Vision Media’s special effects are really good!”
Listening to Shu Chang praising Zhou Yutang, Liu Yifei felt happier than praising herself. With a smile on her face, she suddenly remembered something and got up from the bed: "I forgot the script he gave me."
Holding the script, the two girlfriends lay on the bed together, crossed their white legs, looked at the words on the cover of the script, and read out softly:
""Super Body"!"
"Evolve from human to god!"
"Wow, Sissi, your Xiao Zhou is so kind to you."
After reading the script with Liu Yifei, Shu Changdu said with sincere emotion.
This script written by Zhou Yutang is a movie with a female protagonist, and the whole story seems to be very smooth and refreshing.
In particular, the heroine was miserable in the beginning, but in the end she evolved from a human to an almost god-like existence, killing like crazy, which really felt like an explosion.
Recently, some media have reported on Zhou Yutang's projects in Hollywood, including the sequel to "The Conjuring" series, as well as a handshake photo with the great French director Luc Besson, which have all appeared in domestic entertainment news.
Now that the project has just been negotiated, the script has been given to Liu Yifei, and the heroine has obviously been pre-determined.
If the actresses in the circle knew about it, they would be jealous to the point of separation.
The night is getting darker.
The best friends were lying on the same bed having a heart-to-heart talk, and Shu Chang suddenly asked a question: "Sissi, have you ever thought about marrying Zhou Yutang?"
"I forgot which book I read about it. Marriage is a kind of gamble. Men bet with freedom, and women bet with happiness."
"So philosophical."
Shu Chang was unsure: "Did Zhou Shuren say that?"
"Probably, I don't bet anyway."
Liu Yifei hugged Shu Chang and murmured: "My mother is also married, so what? In the end, she got divorced. I don't believe in marriage. After going through so many things, I believe in my own feelings."
She looked at the soft and bright moonlight outside the window and said calmly: "No matter what other people think or say, as long as I like it, that's enough."
This year's Hong Kong films seem to be like men who have reached middle age and are already weak, and suddenly they raise their heads in a rare and stubborn way.
First, the box office of "Chill" exceeded 300 million, and the Lunar New Year movie "The Grandmaster" also became a hit at the box office.
It's just that the reputation of this movie is polarized. Those who like it highly praise it, while those who don't like it have a lot of doubts.
The title of the film was obviously "The Grandmaster", but the final film turned out to be "The Second Legend of the Palace".
Zhang Ziyi plays the role of Gong Er in it. She is lonely and beautiful, and the arc of the character vaguely suppresses Ip Man of Liang Tianwang.
But no matter what, the international chapter can be regarded as turning around. Even though it was rejected by Zhou Yutang, it is still proud of the success.
She is still in America, participating in various cocktail parties during the Oscar awards season, and has not forgotten to post several Weibo posts a day to promote it.
The time quickly came to late January.
Companies are busy holding annual meetings.
This year's 360 annual meeting invited the national treasure goddess Takizawa Lola, who became popular in the island country when she debuted, as a special guest at the annual meeting, causing an uproar in the circle.
There are even more naughty ones.
At NetEase's annual meeting, Ding Sanshi dressed up as a zombie in Qing Dynasty official uniform, and thoughtfully gave his employees entrance gifts, small Durex umbrellas.
Perfect World executives take the lead in cosplay
Zhou Yutang is more down-to-earth, and he always feels a bit ashamed when he does all those bells and whistles.
Jiangdong Entertainment's side is a simple bonus of tens of millions to commend employees for their performance.
In addition, there are 20 Mercedes-Benz cars cooperated with the owner, including 4 Mercedes-Benz new E260L, 10 Mercedes-Benz Smart, and 6 Mercedes-Benz C200.
There are also 100 units of the iPhone 5 and the latest iPad, which were just released in September this year.
Others, such as the 10,000-yuan travel lucky prize and the 1,000-yuan New Year shopping card, are all awarded through draws to outstanding employees who have made outstanding contributions to Jiangdong Entertainment for a long time.
"Boss Zhou is awesome!"
Luo Zhixiang and Zhou Yutang hugged each other cordially.
"Thank you for your hard work, little pig."
"It's okay, I happen to have an event here and stopped by to perform."
Luo Zhixiang said with a naive smile: "Maybe if I'm lucky, I can win a big prize."
In front of Zhou Yutang, he didn't show off at all like the Asian Dance King.
Tonight's guest performers, in addition to him, also include singers such as Deng Ziqi, Jin Zhiwen, and Li Mochou.
The singers from the Good Voice department are all Zhou Yutang's old members, and they will come as soon as they are called upon.
The night was so star-studded that it was no less than a small concert.
For ordinary employees, the happiest thing is taking photos and signing autographs with celebrities, and being able to listen to music live. The atmosphere is indescribably lively.
"Wow, Nini, you won the car!?"
Mao Xiaoyu, who was lucky enough to win the luxury cruise family package this year, pulled Ni Ni beside her with a face of surprise and said.
Colleagues in the company around him also expressed envy of Ni Ni and excitedly exchanged their prizes.
"Well, what a stroke of luck."
Ni Ni smiled with white teeth, but her eyes fell on Zhou Yutang who was talking to Li Shuang.
She was "lucky" and won the grand prize, a Mercedes-Benz E260L.
Since his debut, he has acted in "The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling". He was a newcomer at the time and actually didn't make much money.
Later, she sided with Lao Mouzi and was like a duckweed involved in the dispute between the two Zhangs. She had the title of Mou Girl, but before she could realize it, she was hidden by Zhang Dapao.
Ni Ni was originally going to find a class, but she didn't expect to be scooped up by Zhou Yutang with just one word.
The value of this car will not be less than 600,000, which is not a small amount for her.
Compared with Rong Xinda who confiscated the cars as prizes for its actors, Jiangdong Entertainment was quite generous and even arranged car taxes, insurance, and license plates for the winning employees.
If you follow Zhou Yutang's direct lineage, your luck will not be too bad.
Soochow Pictures and Vision Media both held separate annual meetings, and Enlight Media's shareholder Zhou Yutang also attended the annual meeting.
Except for the annual meeting of Mingjie Company, which was held before the holidays before the new year, Zhou Yutang was busy attending the annual meetings of several companies and never stopped.
Toutiao’s annual meeting is relatively simple.
Today, Zhang Yiming leads a team with nearly 100 technical personnel.
At first, this group of technical geeks were a little excited that their big boss was a big star, but their offices were all in the Jiangdong Building, so they couldn't look up or down.
That exciting feeling quickly faded away.
Zhou Yutang walked around the office area of Toutiao to get a sense of presence. After listening to Zhang Yiming and several key staff reporting on their work, he couldn't help but say:
"Brother Yiming, you better not try too hard."
"how?"
Zhang Yiming pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Look at your hairline."
Zhou Yutang pointed at Zhang Yiming's hair, which had a tendency to move back more and more.
But obviously, he didn't listen.
Instead, Zhou Yutang became more and more excited about the development of Toutiao.
Zhou Yutang’s career focus is undoubtedly on the entertainment industry, but he also has other industrial layouts, and Toutiao is one of them.
At this stage, several of the largest Internet companies in China have their own technology giants in foreign countries.
For example, Alibaba is China’s Amazon, Tencent is China’s Facebook, Baidu is China’s Google, and Weibo is China’s Twitter.
Today's Toutiao, which he and Zhang Yiming created, took a different approach, relying on algorithms and personalized recommendations to move content instead of buying content.
To put it simply, it uses algorithms to realize big data mining so that 1,000 people can see 1,000 different versions.
If you want to see black stockings, then all I will show you is black stockings.
If you want to watch games, the content pushed will be game content.
This is what Zhang Yiming and his team are doing.
It's like an emerging monster that's steadily growing.
Give it time.
It is inevitable that he will fight his way out of the giants' attack.
