Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 181 Club Gathering, Reba's Resentment
Scene from the Weibo Night event!

With Gu Yang and Yang Mi finishing their speeches and stepping down from the stage, this grand event came to an end.

At the end of the ceremony, Cao Guowei, Chairman and CEO of Sina and Chairman of Weibo, joined the guests to complete a public welfare calligraphy work entitled "Making the World a Better Place with the Power of Weibo".

The party has successfully concluded!

The lights in the Water Cube gradually brightened, and the projection of "Weibo Night 2017" slowly faded away on the blue membrane structure of the dome.

Staff have begun removing the seats, and cleaning staff are pushing carts through the aisles, collecting the support items and water bottles left behind by fans.

Gu Yang stood at the entrance of the artist passage, like a dutiful old father, taking stock of his own artists.

Zhou Ye was looking down at her phone, the screen displaying the trending topic #GuYangZhouYeHeadPatting#, and she was leaving comments on it with her alternate account.

"Gu Yang and Zhou Ye are such a good match!"

Tian Xiwei was signing autographs for fans with great energy, her red dress standing out against the white wall.

Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Ruonan stood side by side, exchanging a few words from time to time, while Zhang Yifan obediently helped the staff tidy up their things.

The most eye-catching one is Meng Ziyi, who is standing in the center.

This artist from Yuekai Entertainment was wearing a jacket from Xinghe Media and holding a Xinghe exclusive support banner.

She looks every bit the boss of Galaxy Media!
Her agent stood three meters away, shrugging helplessly at Yuekai's boss, Jia Shikai.

"Sister Meng, your boss is glaring at me over there."

Gu Yang pointed in Jia Shikai's direction, half-jokingly.

Meng Ziyi didn't even look up, continuing to flip through the red carpet photos in her camera: "Never mind him, I'm going to come to Xinghe Media sooner or later anyway!"

? ? ? ? ?

Gu Yang was a little confused.

Why are you making such a big fuss about coming?
Your boss is right next to you.
Is this appropriate?

Jia Shikai finally couldn't hold back any longer and walked over, with Yang Yang following behind him, suppressing a laugh. "President Gu, isn't this poaching a bit too blatant?"

Jia Shikai complained, half-jokingly, "You've even changed into your company's jackets?"

Gu Yang smiled and raised his hands in surrender: "President Jia, you are right. It was Teacher Meng who felt cold and borrowed our staff's jacket."

Jia Shikai shook his head helplessly and turned to Meng Ziyi: "Will you come back with us?"

"No, no!"

Meng Ziyi shook her head and quietly moved half a step closer to Gu Yang.

He had no choice but to leave dejectedly with his artists.

Just as Gu Yang and the others were about to leave, a deep voice came from behind: "President Gu, please wait!"

Wang Changtian, chairman of Enlight Media, strode in, followed by Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Brothers and Sun Zhonghuai of Tencent Video.

"What brings you here, gentlemen?" Gu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Wang Changtian patted him on the shoulder: "Want to go grab a drink?"

He lowered his voice, "Let's also talk about the overseas distribution of 'Better Days'."

His gaze swept meaningfully over the artists behind Gu Yang.

Gu Yang understood and turned to his artists, saying, "You guys go back first. Ruonan, take good care of everyone!"

"Okay, Mr. Gu!" Zhang Ruonan replied obediently and contacted the staff to arrange a vehicle.

Watching his artists leave one after another, Gu Yang loosened his tie and followed the bigwigs toward the VIP passage.

As they walked, Wang Zhonglei joked, "The artists from President Gu's company are all so young! It seems the entertainment industry will belong to you young people from now on!"

Gu Yang tilted his head slightly in response to Wang Zhonglei's teasing: "President Wang is too kind. We juniors still need your guidance."

Wang Zhonglei suddenly lowered his voice: "I heard that Netflix wants to buy the overseas rights to 'Better Days'?"

His gaze was meaningful. "The price is at least 30% higher than the domestic market price, right?"

"Chairman Wang is really well-informed." Gu Yang chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it. "However, I am more concerned about cultural export; price is secondary."

On the other side, Meng Ziyi had already taken out her phone and started making arrangements: "Sisters, it's a long night, how about we play some mahjong?"

She smiled slightly, "I just bought an apartment in Longhu Yanlanshan Villas, the environment is wonderful!"

“Okay, okay!” Zhou Ye was the first to respond. “Sister Meng, I want to sleep with you tonight!”

"I think I'll pass..." Tian Xiwei felt that Li Yitong wasn't there today, and she might be bullied if she went.

Zhou Ye suddenly grabbed her arm: "Xiao Tian, ​​I heard you're really good at mahjong?"

His eyes held a defiant glint.

"Go ahead, Xiaotian. I heard you like sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour pork with pineapple? I specially asked my assistant to order takeout. There's a lot of food! You won't be able to finish it all if you don't go..."

"I even ordered you milk tea!"

"Gudong"

Tian Xi swallowed hard, and after a fierce internal struggle, said, "Then... let's go!"

"Otherwise it would be a waste..."

Her agent has been strictly following Gu Yang's instructions and has begun to control her diet.

So, in order to get a good meal, she decided to infiltrate the enemy's lair. As long as she could get enough to eat...

Zhang Jingyi stood silently to the side, without saying a word!

"Yifan, go back first." Zhang Ruonan, like a dutiful patriarch, put the youngest Zhang Yifan into the van. "It was instructed by President Gu."

He turned to the others and said, "I'll take her home and then come back."

……

A black minivan turned onto a tree-lined road on the East Fourth Ring Road. The wrought iron gate at the end slowly opened, and the vehicle drove over the gravel road and stopped in front of a beige European-style building.

The moment the carved bronze door was pushed open, the warm light from the crystal chandelier, carrying a faint scent of cedar, wafted out.

The club's high-ceilinged lobby was covered with dark red Persian carpets, and oil paintings hung on the walls. Leather sofas formed several semi-open chat areas, and each carved coffee table had an ice bucket and a plate of cut fruit.

Behind the solid wood bar on the left, the bartender is stirring the whiskey in his glass with a silver spoon, while on the entire wall behind him, various spirits gleam with an amber glow under the spotlights.

The innermost glass door leads to the terrace, where rattan tables and chairs are arranged in a staggered manner, and a green wall is wrapped with warm yellow string lights. In the distance, the neon lights of the CBD are reflected on the artificial lake, shimmering in the sunlight.

Wang Zhonglei casually picked up the champagne in the ice bucket and shook it: "Old Tian really knows how to choose a place; even the vintage of the champagne was chosen perfectly."

Wang Changtian greeted everyone with a smile: "Please sit down. Order whatever you like to drink. Our bartender has won an international gold medal."

Gu Yang leaned back on the leather sofa: "No wonder President Wang brought us here. It's definitely more classy than those trendy bars outside."

Just then, a commotion arose outside the door.

Huang Xiaoming, impeccably dressed in a suit, entered arm-in-arm with Baby. Her black evening gown accentuated her long, slender neck, and the diamond bracelet on her wrist swayed gently with each movement, gleaming coldly.

"Mr. Wang has booked the whole place again?" Huang Xiaoming smiled and raised his champagne glass in greeting, while Baby greeted Wang Changtian familiarly: "I heard that Enlight Media is about to release another blockbuster?"

Before Wang Changtian could reply, Yang Mi's laughter rang out.

She was arm in arm with Liu Shishi, and behind them was Dilraba in high heels; the three of them walked in as if they were on a whirlwind.

"Everyone's here? Sorry I'm late." Yang Mi walked straight to the bar and gestured with her chin to the bartender. "The usual, on the rocks."

Liu Shishi walked to the sofa area and greeted Baby with a cheek kiss. After Dilraba came in, she found a sofa in a corner and sat down by herself.

"I'll go say hello to Dilraba..."

"Go ahead, don't worry about us old men!"

Wang Zhonglei had an "I understand" look on his face!

When Gu Yang sat down next to Dilraba, the leather sofa sagged slightly with his weight.

Dilraba was scrolling through her phone, her snow-white thighs peeking out from under her red velvet skirt.

"Why are you here? Did you come with Yang Mi?"

He stared at the wisps of hair peeking out from behind her ears, his voice unconsciously lowering.

Dilraba paused for a moment, then placed the phone face down on her lap. When she looked up, a hint of a smile played at the corners of her eyes: "Mr. Gu, are you asking a question you already know the answer to?"

"With the opening of a new studio, I have to learn to find resources on my own. I heard that several bosses are here. If I don't show up, I won't even get a share of the profits later."

Changing the subject abruptly, she leaned closer, the base notes of her perfume mingling with the scent of citrus filling his nostrils: "But most importantly, I heard you're here too."

Gu Yang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he beckoned to the waiter to order two glasses of red wine: "Stop being so glib, you're a big boss now."

How is the new team integrating?

"We're still short a lot of people. Only after becoming a boss myself did I realize how many things there are to worry about!"

Dilraba lowered her head and took a sip of red wine, but her eyes never left his expression. "Someone did volunteer, but unfortunately..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Mi's laughter came from afar.

She paused, then her voice suddenly softened: "Gu Yang, do you still stand by me when you said you'd support me that day?"

"Of course it counts! What kind of people does your studio need? I'll help you find them..."

Gu Yang was interrupted by Reba's soft laughter before he could finish speaking.

Her fingertips slowly circled the stem of the wine glass, leaving crimson streaks on the glass, much like the turbulent yet restrained emotions she felt at that moment.

She looked up, her gaze meeting his directly. "I need a partner who truly cares about me."

"Even though he owns half the shares, he never shows his face in the company. When new employees ask, I have to say that President Gu is extremely busy."

"But you're very nosy about some small things!"

"Someone gave me a bouquet of flowers, and I took a picture and posted it on WeChat, and you immediately started asking who sent it!"

She deliberately frowned, but her tone carried a hint of coquettishness that she herself didn't realize, "Mr. Gu, are you here to be a shareholder or a housekeeper?"

Yang Mi's laughter drifted from afar again, mingling with the clinking of glasses, but it couldn't drown out the heavy breathing between the two.

Gu Yang suddenly leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her reddened earlobe: "So, does this big boss think I'm meddling too much or too little?"

Dilraba bit her lower lip, her heart pounding in her chest.

She grabbed his wrist with her other hand, about to retort, when she suddenly felt a warm touch under the table.

Gu Yang's leather shoes had somehow reached her ankles, gently rubbing against them through her stockings.

She trembled, her nails digging unconsciously into the flesh of his wrist, only to be met with even more unrestrained actions from him.

"Gu Yang, could you..." she whispered, her eyes filled with a mixture of shame and anger, "either leave me alone, or..."
