Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Chapter 154 PG's downfall, Tang Lou's foresight!

Tang Lou was actually more concerned about the upcoming box office battle and how high "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2" could reach.

The 2017 film market has come to a close. According to current statistics, here are the top ten highest-grossing films of last year:

Wolf Warrior 2 - 56.8 billion yuan (Wu Jing)

Wolf Warrior 2 did indeed reach a height that it shouldn't have been able to achieve; it can only be said that the timing, location, and people were all in sync.

This movie also made Wu Jing a box office guarantee. After that, almost every movie Wu Jing starred in became a regular on the box office charts. Besides the movie itself, there are really a lot of mystical factors involved.

Perhaps this is just Wu Jing's personal luck; many things are hard to explain, especially in the film market.

"The Fate of the Furious" – grossing 26.7 billion yuan – can be considered a summary of an era. This series made a lot of money, but after that, foreign blockbusters gradually became less suitable for the Chinese market and were gradually replaced by domestic productions.

"Never Say Die" - 22.1 billion yuan (Happy Twist)

This is also a trendsetter for the future film industry. Many comedy teams have crossed over and achieved many amazing results, especially Happy Twist and the future box office champion, Shen Teng!

Sheep Without a Shepherd 1 – 17.5 billion RMB (Kooyang Entertainment)

Kung Fu Yoga - 17.4 billion yuan (Cheng Long)

Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back – 16.5 billion yuan (Zhou Xingchi)

Transformers 5 – 15.5 billion yuan; Youth – 14.2 billion yuan (Feng Kuzi)

"Dangal" — 12.9 billion yuan (Ah San)

Pirates of the Caribbean 5 - 11.8 billion yuan; Kong: Skull Island - 11.6 billion yuan. Tang Lou's debut film last year, Sheep Without a Shepherd 1, has unknowingly established itself in fourth place, surpassing Jackie Chan's Kung Fu Yoga and Stephen Chow's Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back.

Below him is the renowned Feng Xiaogang, known for American films such as "Transformers" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

Looking at this list is indeed somewhat surreal, after all, everyone on it is a big name.

Feng Xiaogang has made movies his whole life, but none of his films have ever grossed as much as "Sheep Without a Shepherd." Of course, this is due to the factors and limitations of the times.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the level of "Sheep Without a Shepherd 1" is indeed a level that many directors, even top academic directors, cannot reach.

This is enough to make Tanglou proud and honored.

And this time, Tang Lou's "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2" will set sail again.

Based on current trends, domestic films will only get better and better, and American blockbusters are starting to lose their appeal.

Wolf Warrior 2 has indeed injected a powerful boost into the mainland film industry.

Moreover, starting in the last two years, those professionally trained directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kai, and Feng Xiaogang, have become increasingly less competitive.

Their films are undeniably high-quality and well-made, but in terms of subject matter and content, some competitors from other regions are more competitive.

The same applies to the Tanglou team and Happy Twist; moreover, more comedy teams will be vying for a share of the pie in the future.

Regarding his memories of his past life, Tang Lou's most unsettling moment was probably the success of that weight-loss movie, which was truly a tragedy for the Chinese film industry.

Just as Tang Lou was feeling sentimental, the public relations director knocked on the door and came in with a grim expression.

"Mr. Tang, the situation is not good. A contestant on 'The Rap of China' has been involved in a huge scandal."

It was the last day of 2017. Tang Lou was mentally prepared for the arrival of the public relations director. Sure enough, what was bound to happen eventually did happen, and those people still couldn't control their lower bodies.

Seeing that Tang Lou remained calm, even as if he had been prepared, the public relations director was slightly surprised and cautiously reported: "Mr. Tang, one of the most promising and popular contestants in our 'The Rap of China' has cheated on his wife."

Sure enough, PG and Li Xiaolu got together.

The first wave of revelations appeared on Weibo, and it was once again the work of the renowned Zhuo Wei.

"He ultimately reaped what he sowed," Tang Lou said calmly.

"What do we do?" the PR director asked. "Will our show, 'The Rap of China,' be affected?"

Tang Lou shook his head: "No. Don't forget, we didn't sign him in the first place, he has nothing to do with us."

"Gentian should be the one with a headache right now."

Upon hearing Tang Lou's words, the public relations director was slightly taken aback. It was true.

"Damn, Mr. Tang, you really had foresight. So, you saw all along that PG was an unstable factor."

Who would have thought that Tang Lou had already foreseen the future of the two of them at the very beginning of the show?

What a discerning eye!

Wajijiwa.

Longdanni had only signed PG not long ago. She had arranged for PG to participate in several variety shows and had also signed many commercial endorsements.

Just as she was preparing to demonstrate PG's commercial value and the financial returns it had brought her to Tang Lou after the New Year, her assistant came over looking flustered.

"Mr. Long, something terrible has happened! Our star artist, PG, has been exposed!"

Upon hearing this, Longdanni was incredulous: "What did you say?!"

Nicole Kidman just spent a lot of money, and if her career really collapses, she will not only be blacklisted by several TV stations, but she will also have to pay breach of contract penalties for all her commercial endorsements.

"What's going on?"

Gentiani looked serious, still wanting to understand the situation and see if she could resolve it through emergency public relations.

However, things had already spiraled out of control, and the artist had been blacklisted.

Longdanni scratched her head, feeling a mix of anger, helplessness, and heartache.

At that moment, the secretary stabbed him again.

"Mr. Long, Tanglou has issued an official statement."

Longdanni frowned. Tang Lou had actually advised her not to sign with PG before, and she was also curious to see what Tang Lou had said.

Tanglou Entertainment Studio's official Weibo account released a statement:

[Statement Regarding Recent Online Rumors]

Recently, false rumors have surfaced online regarding our company's artists and related individuals. Our company hereby issues the following statement:

Our artists GAI and PGOne were only contestants on the show "The Rap of China" and have no personal relationship or business dealings.

Our company always prioritizes the professional ethics of our artists and conducts rigorous background checks and ethical assessments on all signed artists.

Our company has never had any intention to sign a contract or had any contact with PGOne.

Our company urges all netizens to view online information rationally and not to spread or believe rumors.

Within ten minutes of the statement being released, it was forwarded over 10,000 times.

The comments section exploded: "Holy crap! They didn't sign PGOne? Mr. Tang's prediction was spot on!"

"That was brilliant foresight! They avoided the biggest disaster in history!"

"This PR stunt," someone in an industry group commented, "is a huge success for the company that built the tenement building."

"So which unlucky company signed him and became the sucker?"

"It turns out it was Wajijiwa Entertainment, and Longdanni personally invited them."

"She was so smug before, thinking she'd poached a talent from Tanglou, right? She thought she'd signed a gem. But the truth is, anyone Tanglou doesn't like must have some problem with them."
