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

Chapter 200 Xinghe Media's 2018 Work Plan: Five New Dramas
Zhang Jingyi, standing to the side, wore a beige knitted long dress with a light brown trench coat on top. Her black hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, and she looked as gentle and graceful as a traditional Chinese ink painting.

The two walked together, one bright and flamboyant, the other serene and gentle, truly like a pair of sisters with contrasting styles.

As soon as I entered the lobby, the receptionist immediately stood up and said, "Good morning, Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Ye nodded smugly and casually took out a piece of chocolate from his bag: "Here, San Ya bought it, it tastes alright."

"Teacher Zhou, you're so kind!"

"hey-hey……"

In the elevator, she pointed to the floor plan and boasted, "The third floor is the artists' rest area. I have a private office there, although I only use it twice a year."

"He's the oldest, only a tiny bit younger than Gu Yang!"

She blinked. "I'll take you to sit down later."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Okay."

As soon as the elevator doors opened, I bumped into Zhang Ruonan, who was hurrying past carrying a stack of documents.

Today she wore a smoky gray suit dress, her hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and she had Bluetooth earphones clipped to her ears, looking every bit the professional elite.

"Nan Nan!" Zhou Ye called out to her.

Zhang Ruonan turned around, her serious expression instantly melting away: "Zhou Zhou!"

His gaze shifted to Zhang Jingyi, and he nodded with a smile: "Hello, Jingyi."

Zhou Ye hooked his arm around Zhang Ruonan's neck: "Going to do Gu Yang's hard labor again?"

"Monthly report..."

Zhang Ruonan waved the documents in her hand, then suddenly lowered her voice: "President Gu has been in a good mood ever since he came back. Is there something good happening while you're filming at Sanya?"

Zhang Jingyi was startled and nervously clenched her small hands.

"Really?" Zhou Ye's face broke into a silly grin. "Looks like my treatment was a success."

"What treatment?"

"How was it treated?"

Zhang Ruonan and Zhang Jingyi spoke almost simultaneously.

"We'll talk about this after the meeting; it's very complicated..."

Zhang Ruonan gave a meaningful "Oh," and gracefully left in her high heels.

Turning the corner in the corridor, you can hear Yang Chaoyue's wailing: "Ah, I don't want to jump anymore!"

In the practice room, Zhang Yifan was stretching his legs while holding onto the barre.

She wore a cropped workout outfit today, and her 1.76-meter height made her long legs particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the two pass by, she wiped her sweat and greeted them: "Hello, Sister Zhou! Sister Jingyi, you've come to our company too! That's great!"

The three of them filmed "Better Days" together, so they have a good relationship!
Yang Chaoyue collapsed on the floor, her hair a mess like a bird's nest. Upon seeing Zhou Ye, she immediately rushed over and hugged her legs: "Sister Zhou! Help me! Learning to dance is so tiring!"

"Please talk to Mr. Gu and let me go directly to film the TV series!"

Zhou Ye disdainfully pulled her away: "Go away, you're dreaming before you've even debuted! Do you think being a star is that easy? We need to be multi-talented!"

"Huh? Celebrities need to have special skills?" Yang Chaoyue stared at her blankly.

“Yeah, right!” Zhou Ye said matter-of-factly. “Like me, didn’t I sing on the Spring Festival Gala too?”

"If I didn't sing well, would I have this opportunity?"

"You all know my good friend Meng Ziyi, right? Wasn't her song 'Learn to Meow' very popular? But what good did it do? She still didn't get to perform on the Spring Festival Gala."

Did you guys used to think she sang better than me?

"Let me tell you, I practiced incredibly hard in private!"

"It's because of my usual hard work and dedication that I was able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala!"

"So you need to work harder and prepare better so that you can seize the opportunity when it comes!"

Zhou Ye just kept blowing on and on with his little mouth.

The three girls were completely stunned.

"Sister Zhou, you're amazing! You even sang on the Spring Festival Gala!"

Yang Chaoyue said with a long face, "I'm the dumbest. When it comes to learning a dance, Yifan can learn it after just one try, but I still can't keep up the steps even after three days!"

Zhang Yifan said helplessly, "Shall I teach you?"

"No! You're even stricter than my tutor!"

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Yang Chaoyue then noticed her, her eyes lighting up: "You're the one President Gu just signed..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ye covered his mouth and dragged him away: "Let's go, let's go, we'll be late for the meeting."

? ? ? ? ?

Why didn't you mention you were going to be late when you were bragging?

……

At the entrance to the tea room, Zhao Lusi was slowly stirring her coffee.

Compared to her youthful innocence when "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" first aired last year, she now has exquisite makeup, and a wine-red velvet dress makes her skin look as white as snow.

The momentum was noticeably stronger.

Upon seeing Zhou Ye and his group, she smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Zhou."

His gaze swept over Zhang Jingyi, then paused. "This must be the company's newest artist, right?"

"I'm Zhao Lusi. If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties at the company, feel free to come to me!"

Zhao Lusi displayed the demeanor of a boss lady, feeling that she should take on a few underlings!
Zhou Ye subtly stepped in front of her: "Ruth's been quite free lately, hasn't she?"

"It's alright," Zhao Lusi took a sip of her coffee. "I just finished negotiating a variety show collaboration and another brand endorsement!"

She glanced meaningfully at everyone and said, "President Gu said that company resources should be prioritized for artists with commercial value."

"..."

Just as the atmosphere became tense, the elevator doors opened with a "ding." Shen Wei warmly led Tian Xiwei out: "Little Tian, ​​Old Gu is waiting for you in the conference room."

Today, Tian Xiwei wore an oversized sweatshirt and shorts, and her two fair legs were dazzling.

She chewed her gum and casually hummed in agreement, but her eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Ye: "Oh, it's... Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow: "Why are you here?"

I was finally able to finish filming the movie and part ways with this big project, but I was only happy for a few days before I ran into him at the company again.

She's everywhere! Even at Gu Yang's house!
Zhou Ye was furious!
"Director Gu asked me to come!" Tian Xiwei hopped over, "Although I'm not with Xinghe, my boss is Director Gu!"

"Isn't he supposed to be arranging this year's work?"

Just then, the door to the conference room in the distance opened, and Gu Yang's voice came through: "Everyone's here? Come in and start the meeting."

……

Inside the meeting room, the company's core management team and artists sat on both sides of a long table.

Gu Yang stood in front of the projection screen and pulled up a set of data: "In 2017, Xinghe Media achieved good results."

He clicked the remote control, and the screen switched to stills from "Go Go Squid!", featuring a poster of Zhou Ye and Gu Yang together.

"The viewership rating of 'Go Go Squid!' has exceeded 3, and the online viewership has surpassed 50 billion. Zhou Ye's performance is very solid."

Zhou Ye's lips curled up slightly, clearly satisfied with the result.

The next picture is a still from "Qingqing's Daily Life," in which Tian Xiwei looks gentle and charming in her ancient costume.

"Although 'Qingqing's Daily Life' is a sweet romance drama, it has received excellent reviews, with a Douban rating of 8.2. Xiaotian has gained popularity with audiences!"

Tian Xiwei smiled happily.

Next up is the poster for the movie "Better Days," featuring Zhou Ye's striking buzz cut.

"In terms of movies, 'Better Days' has grossed over 29 billion yuan, and Zhou Ye's acting skills have been recognized once again. Also, Jingyi, your portrayal of Wei Lai was very successful!"

A round of applause broke out in the conference room. Zhou Ye calmly took a sip of water, but the smile in his eyes was hard to hide.

Zhang Jingyi stared intently at Gu Yang, not even hearing what he was saying.

Gu Yang is all she can think about right now!

Finally, stills from the drama "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" popped up on the screen.

Zhao Lusi, dressed in red, looked charming and lively.

"Ruth's 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose' is a low-budget web series, but it has become a dark horse of the year, with Weibo topic views exceeding 30 billion. Congratulations, Ruth."

Zhao Lusi blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Gu..."

This man is really something; he clearly chose the script carefully for her.

Still don’t admit it!

What a coincidence! How could a random web series become a hit?

No, I need to find a chance to properly thank him!

Gu Yang turned off the projector and glanced at everyone: "In 2017, we made steady progress; in 2018..."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips: "We must stride forward...!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense, and everyone sat up straight.

Gu Yang's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, his expression meaningful: "This year, Xinghe Media will have even bigger moves."

"In 2018, the company will no longer be satisfied with operating on a single front." He clicked on the projector, and the screen displayed the preparation plans for five films. "We will launch five projects simultaneously with several companies, including Guangxian and Tencent!"

"First of all, I would like to thank my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, for their support." Gu Yang said in a calm tone, "Tian Zhuangzhuang from the Directing Department, who is also my teacher, personally helped us assemble a professional filming team."

He paused, then added, "At the same time, Guangxian Media also borrowed a mature team from them."

Shen Wei interjected at the opportune moment: "With the talent that the company has accumulated over the past year, we now have two complete teams that can support the filming of four dramas at the same time."

A low gasp of surprise rippled through the conference room.

Gu Yang clicked the remote control, and the screen switched to the first show.

"It Can't Be Hidden"

Starring: Zhao Lusi
"Ruth," Gu Yang looked at her, "the role of Sang Zhi is entrusted to you. Perform it well!"

Zhao Lusi's eyes widened instantly, her fingers gripping the edge of the conference table tightly until her fingertips turned white.

She suppressed her overwhelming joy and nodded with feigned modesty, "Thank you, Mr. Gu. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

She squeezed her legs together tightly, her whole body pounding with excitement...!
He really does love me!
The boss lady's position is secure!

Gu Yang added, "To support the show's promotion, you'll be a regular on 'Mars Intelligence Agency'."

"Ok!"

Part Two, "Hard to Coax"

Starring: Zhang Ruonan
“Nan Nan,” Gu Yang’s tone softened, “the role of Wen Yifan requires a delicate performance, and I’m entrusting it to you.”

Zhang Ruonan wasn't as happy as she'd imagined: "But I have a lot of work right now, and I need to coordinate your schedule..."

She actually prefers being Gu Yang's assistant now!

“Leave the company affairs to Shen Wei,” Gu Yang interrupted her. “You focus on acting.”

Gu Yang glanced at her helplessly. This girl had lost all her fighting spirit and was just trying to please him in different ways every day.

This won't do; he can't take it anymore!

We need to find her something to do; his goal is the stars and the sea…!
The allure of a beautiful woman can be deadly...

Zhou Ye nudged Zhang Ruonan's shoe under the table, raising an eyebrow: "Look how much your CEO Gu dotes on you~"

Zhang Ruonan's ears turned slightly red as she pretended to organize the documents.

"These two dramas are sister productions, and the two crews will be filming simultaneously. Some characters, such as the parents of the Sang family, will need to appear in different productions, so please communicate and coordinate in advance when casting."

"Yes, Mr. Gu!"
