Chapter 629: The Chosen Clown, Shockingly Generous
Crack!
A slap on the buttocks of a blond man with a height of at least 1.78 meters.
The plump butt | buttocks that cannot be covered by the thin piece of cloth.
Unyielding trembled left and right a few times, showing excellent elasticity.
Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly, and he quietly distanced himself from the wretched old Bob.
But when the bronze-skinned girl turned around and saw Bob, an old man, she actually gave him a flirtatious look.
“Wow.”
Bob exchanged a few words with the Brazilian beauty, and after seeing her off, he turned around and said plausibly: “Zhou, go to the Golden Globe Awards and take a look. These girls, they are like beautiful angels, they can soothe our wounded hearts.”
“If I win the award, will today be a good day for us to celebrate?”
Zhou Yutang saw through this old man's dirty thoughts at a glance.
“Yeah, I can’t hide anything from you.”
Old Bob smiled and did not forget to take care of Brother Dong: “Enjoy it, there are enthusiastic girls here, they You know what you should do, and there are still a lot of empty rooms. You can play whatever you want.”
The security with loaded guns and live ammunition ensures that this gold-selling cave is foolproof.
Neatly manicured gardens filled with fragrant flowers.
In the sparkling swimming pool, beauties in bikinis shuttle gracefully like mermaids.
Ni Ni came over and whispered, she is a very famous supermodel in Victoria’s Secret.
Follow Bob to the second floor, and to the soft beats of jazz played by the live band, we arrived at an open terrace.
Zhou Yutang looked around the room. The bright crystal chandeliers reflected magnificent light, and there were elite white men wearing haute couture suits talking.
A girl in a maid outfit with a big heart came forward to provide services.
Old Bob was like a mouse rolled into a rice vat, grinning from ear to ear, which was even harder to suppress than AK.
He is obviously a veteran of the entertainment industry. He greets acquaintances from time to time, and introduces Zhou Yutang and Brother Dong to his friends. Some of them seem to often appear in news reports in the United States.
“It’s so open.”
It’s an eye-opener for Dong Ge who has struggled through hard times.
After Jingdong went public, Brother Dong is now worth tens of billions and is also a business tycoon.
Although he is not as popular as Jack Ma, he has also been invited to give lectures at famous schools at home and abroad, and many fans and fans have taken the initiative to post.
But those little girls, in front of these professional players, really lost their charm.
That’s why I say that the entertainment industry is full of people.
Brother Dong feels that every time he hangs out with Zhou Yutang, his worldview will be greatly impacted
“The Victoria’s Secret supermodel is well-deserved, and her average bust size is no less than 80CM.”
"Walt?"
A question mark slowly appeared on Brother Dong's face. He looked at it secretly for a few times, quickly looked away, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Yutang next to him: "How do you know?"< br>
Zhou Yutang was very calm: "My eyes are rulers."
Brother Dong: "."
Ni Ni, who followed Zhou Yutang silently, finally met the man as he wished Legendary supermodel Miranda Kerr.
This legendary supermodel, after accumulating wealth by walking on the catwalk, created her own personal brand and has initially achieved a class jump.
She is the doyen of those models who want to get ahead with their bodies.
But in such a big shot, the attitude is still respectful.
Ni Ni usually studies fashion a lot, but she recognized many famous models, such as Elsa Hosk, Laissa Ribeiro, and Stella Maxwell
Anyway, Zhou Yutang didn't know any of them, so he only looked at them with admiration, watching those long legs moving, which was indeed full of vitality and charm.
It's a pity that these women don't quite meet Zhou Yutang's aesthetic taste.
He is a traditional and conservative man after all.
I prefer oriental girls with temperament.
Soon, he met the target of his trip, Joaquin Phoenix.
This year, Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy for his role in "Inherently Evil", but unfortunately he lost to Michael Keaton of "Birdman".
This is not the first time the two have met, but Joaquin Phoenix's impression on Zhou Yutang is as melancholy and reserved as ever.
He can feel it.
Under this deep temperament, there seems to be an explosive power.
Hollywood celebrities gather here and movie stars are everywhere, but two brothers have won the Venice Golden Lion Best Actor one after another. They are probably the Phoenix brothers.
Joaquin Phoenix, like his late brother River Phoenix, both possess overflowing acting talent that is visible to the naked eye.
This is also what Zhou Yutang determined to be the best candidate to play the clown after screening and evaluation.
When it came to the movie, Brother Dong was a little uninterested, so he went to exchange life with a girl who looked like she was of mixed American and Japanese descent.
Zhou Yutang and Joaquin Phoenix were sitting and talking.
An intermediary sent an invitation, so Joaquin Phoenix naturally knew why Zhou Yutang was here.
In other words, Zhou Yutang has offered him olive branches many times through Bob or Zou Zhongyan this year.
According to Hollywood's argument, this mysterious Eastern entertainment tycoon who is the fastest rising in Hollywood may be worth tens of billions, but Phoenix doesn't care.
He has his own pursuit.
At first I was dismissive of superhero projects that were not challenging.
No one would make such a shallow popcorn movie.
He had no interest in it.
However, after Zhou Yutang won the Palme d'Or and became famous in the world of film, Joaquin Phoenix finally faced Zhou Yutang's invitation seriously again.
The reason is also very simple. Not everyone can achieve such outstanding results at this age.
He said that this is not a superhero blockbuster in the ordinary sense.
It’s just that Zhou Yutang rarely participates in Hollywood activities, and the two have always lacked opportunities to meet.
Zhou Yutang made the invitation without even coming up. After some polite greetings, he told him the whole story seriously.
"He's a madman!"
Listening to Zhou Yutang's bewitching words, Joaquin Phoenix felt like he had goosebumps on his body.
Even the sitting posture has become much straighter invisibly.
On the table is a copy of "Vanity Fair". In order to commemorate Heath Ledger, who has been passing away for 7 years, it is re-releasing the photos taken of him in the past.
Heath was 21 years old at the time, with a bright and carefree smile.
Turning another page, the crazy clown makes people shudder.
“His clown is an unsurpassed classic.”
Even an acting genius like Joaquin Phoenix also expressed admiration.
Zhou Yutang rolled up Vanity Fair, tapped the table gently, and said with a gentle smile: "I believe in my own vision, and I also believe that you are the actor chosen by God to perfectly interpret my version of the clown."< br>
The invitation was polite but not too eager. Jacques was a little moved and told the truth frankly: "Zhou, you are a very capable director. Thank you for your regard for me, but I will not be there next year." I signed two films, so."
The implication is that the schedule is up.
This is also normal.
Only the low-class ones don’t have time to pick their feet at home.
Although Joaquin Phoenix is not a top celebrity like Leonardo, the Venice Best Actor is well-established in the independent film circle and is a favorite partner of many major directors.
The two of them chatted for less than half an hour when Brother Dong came back.
So fast?
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised, but didn't care and continued to draw: "You can go back and read my script before making a decision. This project can wait until next year. We will continue to communicate and have to do a lot in advance. Be prepared, I promise, this is definitely an opportunity not to be missed for you."
His expression was extremely confident.
The voice seems to have a strong appeal.
Joaquin Phoenix was startled for a moment, then nodded solemnly and raised his glass towards Zhou Yutang,
"Okay, I'll think about it seriously."
"Cheers!"
Ding!
The shaking red wine glasses clinked together.
Liszt's "Dream of Love" has a beautiful melody, like a dream.
The candlelight shines on the graceful woman opposite Zhou Yutang.
That red dress looks even more brilliant.
I am in my thirties this year and am at the peak of a woman's charm.
Zhou Yutang knows.
Compared with her beauty, the wisdom of the woman with a master's degree from MIT is a more valuable asset.
It was this woman's encouragement and urging that to some extent promoted her husband John Henry's decision to acquire Liverpool at a low price a few years ago.
The middleman of this conversation was Tom Vaughn, a famous Hollywood television producer.
This is also one of Zhou Yutang’s reasons for coming to America.
Tom is an old friend of Henry, the owner of Fenway Group. The two jointly purchased the Boston Red Sox of the American Major League Baseball Team for a sky-high price of US$690 million. That was also where Henry's dream began.
“Linda, I don’t think you need to introduce me more?”
Tom, a typical elite white old man with thinning hair, took the initiative to introduce him.
"Of course, Mr. Miracle from the East, that's the popular name here now."
Linda smiled sweetly and raised her wine glass towards Zhou Yutang.
Zhou Yutang was observing her, and the proprietress of Fenway Group was also looking at this Hollywood money printing machine with the same curious eyes.
Detailed background information shows that the variety show that this Oriental entertainment tycoon managed behind the scenes in the past two years has become popular all over the world.
In recent years, he has run several series of movies, causing a stir in Hollywood.
Not only did it help Warner push Disney to the top of the top six Hollywood net profit lists.
He himself also gained unimaginable wealth from it.
This does not include his industrial layout in China.
Obviously he was young and handsome, but his strong aura and undisguised ambition in his deep eyes reminded Linda all the time.
This is a person who can be compared with her husband.
His net worth may even be stronger than that of old Henry.
Of course, it was not just Zhou Yutang’s influence in the entertainment industry that impressed Linda even more.
The background information of Shentong Guangda shows that this year, Tongque Fund, which he operates behind the scenes, teamed up with Wanda to bid for Infront Sports, strongly attacking International Management Group (IMG) and TPG, including Silver Lake Capital Holdings. A dozen capital giants including Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Providence Fund, Blackstone Fund, and Europe's largest private equity fund CVC, which are controlled by the fund!
Infront is the world's second largest sports marketing company and one of the world's largest sports media production and broadcast companies. It is a hot commodity in the capital market.
Western capital markets all know that Wanda, the Chinese giant, swallowed up AMC at a sky-high price.
But this is the first time that Tongque Fund controlled by Zhou Yutang has emerged as a prominent figure in the Western capital market.
This is enough to make him famous in one battle.
Linda glanced at the big burgundy waves beside her ears, exuding the charm of maturity | a woman: "Mr. Zhou, I like your movies very much, and I am looking forward to the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie. Released."
"Miss Linda, I'm honored to hear you say that. I hope I won't disappoint you then."
Having dealt with Ocean Marathon a lot in the past few days, Zhou Yutang had already formed an immune mechanism. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he talked about the proposal to acquire Liverpool.
"Linda, you are a woman full of wisdom."
"I should know that your husband hopes to replicate the success of the Boston Red Sox in Liverpool, but unfortunately it backfires."< br>
"Maybe the situation is not that bad."
Linda looked calm and calm.
"We should recognize the reality. Fenway Group overestimated the strength of Liverpool and underestimated the difficulty of maintaining these assets, which is why the situation is so bad."
Materials carefully prepared by Zhou Yutang , causing the woman to fall silent: "Even though Liverpool had top stars like Gerrard back then, the era of Torres and Reina has passed.
We need to look forward, so move forward with this deal The deal was reached in order to have enough funds to repay bank debts, thereby improving the club's cash flow situation by exempting interest-bearing debt repayments, helping the club's balance sheet move forward, and allowing the team to return to competing for the championship. Come in."
"Mr. Zhou, you are well prepared."
Zhou Yutang continued slowly: "The United Kingdom has been pushing forward with Brexit, which is very likely to lead to a mid- to long-term result, which is the depreciation of the pound. At that time, the value of the club will also shrink. This has nothing to do with the investment decision made by Mr. Henry. Contrary."
"The value of the club will shrink, which is indeed worth worrying about."
Linda suddenly asked: "Then why are you still pursuing this matter?"
< br>"Since you have done in-depth research."
Zhou Yutang showed a meaningful smile: "Then it should be clear that under the general trend of China wanting to increase its international influence, there are some things that cannot be measured by money. ”
Linda nodded suddenly.
She thought about what the background information showed that this young entertainment tycoon had an unfathomable background in China.
When it comes to cake painting, Zhou Yutang is definitely a professional.
Tom is also involved, but Linda's attitude is very interesting.
She didn't resist. She seemed moved, but she didn't agree to anything. She wanted to go back and talk to old Henry in detail.
Ni Ni was quite interested in the negotiation, which lasted for more than an hour.
After the beautiful woman hugged Zhou Yutang face to face, carried her bag and swayed her hips and left, she stepped forward and asked:
"Boss, how was the conversation? How are you doing?”
“I’ll see you in London in a few days.”
Zhou Yutang took a sip of ice water, feeling cool in his throat, and replayed the conversation in his mind.
In fact, since the other party can sit here, it shows that there is a certain intention and the acquisition is promising.
After all, Henry is an old American speculator, and all he cares about is profit.
The current performance of Liverpool cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, it can also be said to be extremely bleak.
Suarez went crazy and bit someone in the World Cup and was sent to Barcelona. He suffered a brutal defeat in the league and failed to even qualify for the group stage of the Champions League.
When Fenway Sports acquired Liverpool Football Club in 2010, it only spent £300 million.
Zhou Yutang wants to take over Liverpool, and the early stage team has already taken over a series of docking and negotiations, and the latest valuation of the club's entire assets is priced at 600 million pounds.
In just a few years, it has already tripled!
Even for Henry, it is a tempting number.
Tom, a key figure in the Fenway Group, is interested in investing in the NBA team, and he will do his best to lobby Old Henry.
As long as this deal is completed, he can privately obtain some Hollywood resource replacement.
"Boss, why do you want to invest in football."
"Because I like it."
"This answer is a bit willful."
"It's not just because I like it."
On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Yutang looked through the background information compiled by Ni Ni in his hand and said indifferently: "Do you remember that I will attend the research meeting led by the Long Propaganda Department in the second half of this year?"
"You have participated in many such meetings in the second half of the year."
"Only the one where the big boss was there, Mr. Wanda and Brother Belt were both there."
"Oh, I think Get up."
Ni Ni tilted her head and thought for about ten seconds, and then said: "Not long after, the central government issued "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Sports Industry and Promoting Sports Consumption." The overall reform and development plan has been implemented, and it seems that the big leader even left you to talk for a while. "
This is also the best time that Zhou Yutang has been waiting for to promote the acquisition.
Such a huge amount of funds is of course due to personal preferences and investment considerations, but it is also inseparable from the tilted support of national policies.
Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between styles and genres.
Driven by the current new economic normal, local capital giants represented by Wanda Group and Alibaba Group are about to enter the global sports market in order to expand their brand effects and expand the Chinese sports industry abroad.
Zhou Yutang inspected teams from the five major European leagues in advance.
The Premier League is the most commercialized league and is known as the first of the five major leagues.
The first thing to consider is the giants in the Premier League.
Manchester United and Manchester City had no chance, and Arsenal was taken over by Kroenke.
Now the Kroenke family holds more than half of the shares, and there is another major shareholder, a super-rich man named Da Mao, who wants to wrestle with the Kroenke family. The internal situation is a bit chaotic.
If you wanted to enter the game a few years ago, it would not be difficult. In today's era of global capital, there is very little room for maneuver.
But then again, Zhou Yutang did not have the same amount of funds as he does now a few years ago.
Finally, the professional business team compiled several feasible acquisition plans based on data analysis.
First, the Milan duo in Serie A.
Second, the Premier League Reds Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Third, La Liga team Atletico Madrid.
According to Zhou Yutang’s expectation, the business negotiation team was once close to reaching an agreement with AC Milan, the Milan duo that he liked more.
But the Benister family was extremely difficult to deal with. Suddenly the lion opened its mouth and wanted to kill this Asian who seemed stupid and wealthy, and raised the price to 800 million euros.
Milan’s market value is at most 500 million euros, and after the acquisition, it will have to bear more than 100 million in debt.
It’s not that Zhou Yutang can’t afford the money, he just doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.
Weigh the interests and retreat immediately.
Then he set his sights on England’s top club Liverpool.
If you want to do it, do something big.
The final cost, including the difficulty of negotiation, is definitely higher than that of the Milan duo, but the Premier League's commercial operations and degree of globalization crush Serie A.
The annual dividends from broadcasters and the Football Association are at least tens of millions of euros.
In the next few years, it may even soar to over 100 million.
Zhou Yutang deeply tied up with his partner Wanda to take the lead and finalized the acquisition of 20% of the shares of La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid at a price of 45 million euros.
Although there are still some contract terms that are still being negotiated in the end, this is basically a done deal and is just waiting for an official announcement.
In addition, domestic Suning and several capital giants are also preparing to take action.
Sports marketing is a shortcut for the internationalization of Chinese brands, and it is also the most subtle and silent marketing method.
Of course.
Zhou Yutang has more far-reaching considerations.
This acquisition is also related to the future promotion of the short video global layout of Jiangdong's byte series.
The domestic film and television industry is also as lively as ever.
This year, Hui Province Taiwan is gearing up for a big show, setting up a stage for the National Drama Festival.
The show came to a successful conclusion a few days ago. The best actor was won by uncle Zhang Jiayi. The two major dramas "One Servant, Two Masters" and "The Man" have withstood the test of the audience in terms of reputation and ratings.
Mr. Zhou, who had just been having fun at Disneyland with Liu Tianxian, turned around and won the Best Actress award.
This is her first return after an 11-year absence from the screen, and her acting skills in "Red Sorghum" have also been recognized.
But the biggest winner is none other than the artists of Jiangdong Entertainment.
As the leading actor in "The Story of Ancient Swords" and "A Little Smile Is Allure", Chen Xiao's two hit dramas helped him win three popularity awards.
Gulinazha was also so popular that she won the title of Most Popular and Commercially Valuable Actress.
It is not certain how authoritative these awards are.
There are dozens of awards, large and small, and as long as the invited celebrities are present, you will not leave empty-handed.
Zhou Yutang did not attend, but Jiangdong artists expressed their gratitude to their boss.
“Boss, the invitation letter from the Berlin Art Director has been sent over.”
“He recommended it for me. I don’t have any works. What did I do in the past?”
Zhou Yutang’s response to becoming popular Xie Bumin: "This year, Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" will be the only one in China, right?"
"Yeah."
Ni Ni continued to report on her work.
Zhou Yutang is in the United States and has not forgotten his domestic work arrangements.
"Nirvana in Fire" has started shooting after the press conference. It is estimated that Lao Hu will stay on the set during the Chinese New Year.
Liang Shengquan, who came from the Tang Dynasty, is really something. Since he took over the project of "Prince Concubine's Promotion", it has been completed now.
The progress of another web drama "Wuxin Master" directed by Li Guoli, a Tang Dynasty man, is not optimistic, and it will not be completed until at least a few days ago.
There are a lot of love affairs in China recently.
The biggest news is that Xu Jinglei openly told the media at an exchange meeting at Renmin University to promote her new film,
She and her male friends who have known each other for many years call each other every day to keep in touch. But our relationship is very pure...
The host asked if her male friend was Zhou Yutang, and the princess from the Beijing Circle smiled and said nothing.
"..."
Zhou Yutang, who was abroad and was shot even while lying down, did receive comforting news from Xu Jinglei after accompanying him at the Golden Globe Awards.
But other than that, the two really didn't chat much.
While he was busy promoting the acquisition, he also had to manage his time. How could he have time to talk to Xu Cairen?
But the media was very excited and hyped it up again.
The scandals between Zhou Yutang and the four major actresses are also commonplace.
The even more exciting news is that Xu Jinglei revealed that Wu Yifan’s first love was at the age of five.
However.
Soon the audience’s attention shifted to a piece of gossip spread from Hollywood back to China.
It is suspected that Zhou Yutang brought his good brother Dong Ge into a carnival party in a mysterious mountain villa.
According to Hollywood gossip, there were many big names and more than 20 supermodels present, including some female artists and stars in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
The paparazzi secretly took blurry photos from a distance.
Just looking at his temperament, he is like a firefly in the dark night. He is definitely the Governor of Jiangdong.
Ni Ni next to him is very recognizable, and there is another person who looks like Brother Dong.
Soon some netizens discovered that Brother Dong had been on a business trip in America these days, and the two brothers once got together in a certain restaurant.
The major forums on the Internet exploded instantly.
"No, brother, you were running with the Golden Ball a few days ago, and I was comforting you. Is that how you play, right?" - Feng Zhongye 1993
“Forget it, just play if you want to, remember to wear an umbrella and don’t get caught up.” - There is a little loli in my family
“Brother Dong did it too.” ——The elegant and easy-going Erha
“It must be Zhou Yutang who led Brother Dong astray.”——Chen Yue Yixiao
"Made, I saw those photos of supermodels. They have such big legs, 屮!" - Sun Jiasheng
"The last word "屮" upstairs is quite the essence." - Luzhuxuan
“I don’t envy the mandarin ducks, I don’t envy the immortals, I envy the governor every day.” - A fatal blow
For Zhou Yutang, this revelation is nothing.
After all, he is a natural scandal maker, and his glorious record can be checked.
Including domestic big and small actresses, South Korean girl group facades, and even intimate photos with several Hollywood celebrities have been leaked
The Jiangdong navy has been desensitized.
Except for the Tianxian fans and Yijie fans who have criticized it, most netizens just enjoy watching movies and watching movies.
Even Brother Dong was photographed, which surprised many netizens.
Previously, Brother Dong had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a righteous look. He had some idol baggage.
What is presented to the public is a relatively low-key image of a decent entrepreneur who wants to lead his brothers to become bigger and stronger.
When the photos of entering and leaving the private party were released, the personality collapsed a bit.
But he listened to Zhou Yutang’s advice.
Be real, there is no need to set up an overly decent persona.
Look at Sohu’s Zhang Hu, who is not only romantic and happy every day, but also lives a cool life.
However, the public relations departments of Jiangdong and Jingdong were not idle either. They immediately launched emergency public relations, saying they had urgent projects to discuss.
It doesn’t matter whether netizens believe it or not.
After this wave of operations, the milk tea sister who has been in a cold war has been unable to sit still.
She seemed to realize that Brother Dong was not so easy to handle, and took the initiative to send a signal of reconciliation to Brother Dong.
Brother Dong is a blessing in disguise, but Zhou Yutang is miserable.
Liu Tianxian was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
