Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Chapter 135 Laying out the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" IP Series

Tang Lou's request was exactly what Tang Lou had planned.

The original plan was to revive Pan Yueming's popularity before starting the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series.

This time, for the Tang Lou adaptation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light," Pan Yueming will play Hu Bayi, and Zhang Yuqi will play Shirley Yang. As for Wang Pangzi and Da Jinya, they will remain the same as before.

Tanglou previously acquired the copyright to all of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, so currently no major platforms have had the opportunity to acquire it.

Having memories of his past life, Tang Lou is well aware of how terrifying the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series is, and how terrifying the returns can be.

Therefore, in order to better develop the film and television projects of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, Tanglou set up a company specifically to operate related IPs and derivative products.

The first book I'm going to choose for Tanglou is "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City". This story is a very classic and well-received work in the "Candle in the Tomb" series.

The most important thing to make a good adaptation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is to respect the original work and restore it as faithfully as possible.

Therefore, investment in this drama is indispensable; props, sets, and costumes all require meticulous production.

After finalizing the plan, Tanglou prepared to make the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series the most important project for Coolcat.

Not only is it a web series, but Tang Lou also plans to film a movie once the popularity picks up.

After having this plan, Tang Lou quietly replied to Zhang Yuqi.

"That depends on how you perform tonight."

Tang Lou and Zhang Yuqi had already had in-depth exchanges, so there was no longer any sense of boundaries in their conversations.

After interacting with so many female celebrities, Tang Lou also discovered the fun in it. Indeed, every beauty has her own merits and her own regrets.

Therefore, taking turns enjoying different things can indeed bring about a variety of completely different experiences.

This also made Tang Lou understand why the ancient system of having three wives and four concubines, and the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards, could remain in place.

Zhang Yuqi was quite satisfied with Tang Lou.

After receiving Tang Lou's message, Zhang Yuqi was just wondering what reason to give.

Whether she could get the role or whether filming could start was out of her mind; she was now more interested in meeting Tang Lou.

Although Zhang Yuqi appears carefree, straightforward, and uninhibited, she is actually quite traditional and conservative when it comes to men. She can only accept one relationship at a time and become completely immersed in one relationship.

Therefore, after having this ambiguous relationship with Tang Lou, Zhang Yuqi maintained a clean reputation outside and rejected the advances and ambiguous relationships of other men.

Zhang Yuqi's several interactions with Tang Lou also made him realize that Tang Lou was both passionate and ruthless.

This guy's passion is truly like a flame, irresistible and irresistible, while his ruthlessness is like turning your back on someone once he's done with his pants on.

This has happened so many times, and he has never stayed with her even for one night. He always takes advantage of her and then runs away.

However, the more Tang Lou acted this way, the more Zhang Yuqi became fascinated by it.

Of course, besides this attraction, Tanglou's professional capabilities also impressed Zhang Yuqi.

He had begun to blindly worship Tang Lou, who was the most talented producer he had ever met in the entertainment industry.

Zhang Yuqi is actually in a rather awkward position. Although she started out as a "Star Girl" (a term referring to actresses discovered by Stephen Chow), she has very limited access to good film and television resources. She wants to maintain her status as a top-tier star, but she doesn't have many outstanding works to her name.

This made her look forward to Tanglou even more and yearn for the Ghost Blows Out the Light series.

In order to leave a good impression on Tang Lou and achieve a good performance, Zhang Yuqi went all out this time, making a lot of preparations and preparing a lot of new technologies to give Tang Lou a good experience.

Upon arriving at the villa in the tenement building, Zhang Yuqi walked in with captivating charm...

Tang Lou was also pleasantly surprised by Zhang Yuqi's new ideas today.

Three hours later, Zhang Yuqi left the villa in Tanglou with a satisfied expression.

Tang Lou lay panting on the sofa.

"Goodness, I'll have to rest for a few days now."

"Looks like besides work, I also need to work out more."

After resting for a while, Tang Lou went to his study and began preparing for the web series "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

The next day, Coolcat Video established a brand new project team specifically responsible for the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series.

This drama is still primarily funded by Tanglou's own entertainment company, with Tanglou also providing the copyright, and it was co-produced with KuMiao.

Tanglou did this to ensure that the majority of the profits from the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series remained in their own hands, while also firmly holding onto the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" IP.

The fact that Tanglou was able to do this is undoubtedly due to his unique vision and production capabilities.

Besides producing its own content, KuMiao also collaborates with many excellent external teams to produce web dramas and variety shows.

Tanglou's handling of the situation was, of course, for the sake of maximizing profits; such a unique and top-tier IP couldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of KuMiao.

The status of tenement buildings and the personal resources and value of individuals are now vastly different from what they used to be.

Tanglou has gradually transformed from a simple employee of Coolcat into an entertainment mogul who can be treated as an equal and whose collaboration methods can be freely chosen.

Tanglou now has sufficient capital and means to engage in this kind of deep partnership with KuMiao Video.

Tang Lou's willingness to work on Kugou Music is simply due to the platform's extensive resources, connections, and comprehensive support.

This saves them from many of the problems they would have to face if they were working alone. Tanglou's production model and investment approach are also a win-win situation for both them and the KuMiao platform.

Now, it's not that Tang Lou needs KuMiao Video, but rather that KuMiao Video needs him.

If Tang Lou hadn't been willing to stay at Kugou Music, platforms like Tencent Video and iQiyi would have been willing to pay exorbitant prices to poach him should he have expressed a desire to switch platforms or have other intentions. Therefore, Shen Yan and the Alibaba Digital Media & Entertainment Group turned a blind eye to Tang Lou's actions. As long as Tang Lou was at Kugou Music and his projects were broadcast on Kugou Music, other details of cooperation and production and investment methods were easy to discuss.

And indeed, every project in Tanglou has brought surprises to senior leaders and outstanding achievements to the platform.

This project, "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," has allowed Tanglou to forge a unique path.

Tanglou has absolute control over the IP copyright and creative rights of "Ghost Blows Out the Light". As long as the project is successful, Tanglou and the platform can make huge profits.

After Tanglou gradually demonstrated its comprehensive capabilities, the Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group leadership team began to assign Tanglou more tasks.

In addition to Coolcat Video, the leadership team also gave another company in Tanglou, Coolyang Entertainment, a new task: to help Alibaba achieve similar success in theatrical releases.
