Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 455: Money really allows you to do whatever you want!

"Is he your role model?"

Upon hearing these words, Little Ma immediately perked up.

Zhou Yang actually took him as a role model, so Yu Zheng must be an extraordinary person. Such talent is exactly the kind of partner that Tencent needs!

After hanging up the phone, Little Ma immediately ordered someone to investigate Yu Ma to see if he was suitable for cooperation.

At the same time, Zhou Yang revealed a sly smile on the other end of the phone.

"Jingmin, Aunt Yu, I've brought you a great opportunity. Don't let me down! You must hold off Ali and Penguin!"

A hint of worry flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes.

Both Ali and Tencent are giants, and with Pony Ma proposing to acquire Yangtian Film and Television Media Group for hundreds of millions of yuan, they seem to have made up their minds to enter the film and television industry.

"Oh, the film and television industry?" Zhou Yang suddenly realized.

He recalled that Ali and Tencent had just entered the entertainment industry in this parallel world, and had only acquired a few video platforms.

The online novel sector seems to remain untouched, with major online novel platforms still operating discreetly and not attracting the attention of large investors.

"I'm going to act before them!" Zhou Yang made up his mind.

The potential of online novels should not be underestimated. Just like Zhou Yang's memories from his previous life, works such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Joy of Life" have already exceeded a market value of billions.

Therefore, it can be said that adapting online novels into movies and TV series is a huge gold mine!

This is a goldmine closely related to the film and television industry, and Zhou Yang would naturally not miss this opportunity!

When Zhou Yang decided to acquire the top five male and female online novel websites in the current online novel market, he immediately contacted Chen Tianzhen and asked her to come to his office.

As soon as Chen Tianzhen sat down, Zhou Yang immediately gave her a task.

"Sister Tianzhen, I'm planning to acquire the top five male and female online novel websites in the current online novel market. You should quickly find someone to negotiate with them, even if it's at a tenfold premium, you must get them!"

Chen Tianzhen was stunned when she heard Zhou Yang's suggestion.

"Xiao Yang, are you kidding me? Acquire an online novel website? And at a tenfold premium? How much profit can online novels bring? It's just a bunch of ordinary people reading online novels. Even if you bought all the online novel websites in the country, the annual profit wouldn't be as high as our Yangtian Film and Television Media Group."

Chen Tianzhen's words are true. In the current world, there is not much capital involved in the field of online novels, let alone IP adaptation. It is extremely rare.

Instead of spending money to acquire online novel websites, it would be better to make more movies to earn money.

"Ahem, Sister Tianzhen, who says that people who like reading online novels are tasteless? I appreciate online novels. Many works are of high quality and rich in content, comparable to top-tier anime and Hollywood movies. Bringing online novels to the screen would be a huge success!"

“We need to enter this field quickly, otherwise it will be terrible if other companies beat us to it. I want to see the acquisition results within a week!”

Finally, Zhou Yang issued an emergency order directly to Chen Tianzhen!
A week later, a bombshell news story quickly topped the social media trending list!
……

"#Actor Zhou Yang's Yangtian Film and Television Media Group has successfully acquired several well-known online novel websites for a staggering 5 billion yuan, attracting widespread attention!"

Upon seeing this astonishing news, netizens were incredulous. "This news is insane! A few online novel websites worth that much money? That's ridiculous!"

"Indeed, only tasteless losers read online novels; these websites are not worth much money at all."

"If the news is true, then Brother Yang may have gone against his original intention. It would be more meaningful to use the 5 billion yuan investment for charity or to support film production, while investing in the online novel field seems to be a deviation from his original profession."

"That's right, how about donating the money to those in need?"

"That's definitely fake news. Isn't Yang Ge supposed to be filming a Marvel movie? How could he possibly have time to acquire an online novel website?"

"Sigh, there are many excellent works in online novels. Don't look at online novels with prejudice, okay?"

"Heh, isn't it just that the male protagonist is surrounded by a group of girls, or the female protagonist is surrounded by a group of boys? Online novel authors and readers are just losers without any ambition of their own!"

"..."

Just as netizens were questioning and discussing the authenticity of the news, Zhou Yang suddenly posted a Weibo post to officially announce it.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: I want to clarify that Yangtian Film and Television Media has indeed completed the acquisition of several online novel websites and is preparing to enter the online novel field. I hope everyone will view online novels without prejudice, because the content of online novels today is pure and full of positive energy, giving rise to many excellent works. For example, Penguin Reading's 'Live Stream, I Angrily Confront Millions of Parents' is an outstanding work. I admire the author Sun Kongkong very much because he is as shameless as I am, haha."

"Of course, more importantly, even our overseas friends love online novels. Like anime from Japan and movies from the US, online novels are a leading force in the export of Chinese culture, possessing immense potential for adaptation into film, animation, or television series. We have already begun discussions with our authors regarding film and television adaptations, and we believe the final result will be a pleasant surprise for everyone! #"

Zhou Yang's Weibo post successfully resonated with a wide range of online novel readers.

"Brother Yang is absolutely right. Online novels are in no way inferior and shouldn't be exaggerated!"

"In fact, online novels are very popular abroad and have huge market potential!"

"That's right. I've seen reports before about a foreigner who successfully overcame his drug addiction by reading online novels. That's the charm of online novels!"

"As a reader, if my favorite online novel is adapted into a film or television series, I will definitely give it my full support!!"

"Me too, I just hope that novels won't be arbitrarily altered when adapted into film or television!"

"..."

With more things to do, Zhou Yang's life became busy again.

He was busy overseeing the production of "Thor" and "Captain Earth," while also discussing film and television adaptations with authors from several online novel websites.

After a week, Thor was finally completed and the first global trailer was released.

In the trailer, Xu Jingjiang portrays Thor with dashing style, wielding a giant hammer and battling the world. The special effects are captivating and exhilarating for viewers!

At the same time, Zhou Yang led his team to immediately launch a global promotional campaign for "Thor".

Although Xu Jingjiang is the lead actor in this drama, the media still focused their attention on Zhou Yang, because apart from Zhou Yang, the other actors are not well-known abroad.

The only relatively well-known actor is Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, but he is just a minor actor in Hollywood.
