Zhou Zhuohua was born in Macau in 1974. After founding the “Sun City Group” in 2007, his business expanded rapidly. In addition to the gaming industry, he also set foot in tourism, film production, catering and finance industries. As of 2021, Zhou Zhuohua’s worth has reached 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, and he is a well-known rich man in the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
In 2019, Zhou Zhuohua paid his mistress and mixed-race model, Mandy Lieu, a breakup fee of nearly US$40 million, which made Liu Bili known as “the strongest junior on the surface.” Since then, Zhou Zhuohua’s love history has continued to become a topic among the public after dinner.
Since 2009, Zhou Zhuohua has been involved in the film and television industry as a producer, producer, and actor. He has cooperated with Bona Pictures and Taiyang Chuanhe for many times, and has filmed “Mekong Operation” and “Red Sea Operation”. A so-called “main theme” movie.
On November 1, 2016, Meng Jianzhu, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Communist Party of China, personally met Zhou Zhuohua on the platform of the “Mekong River Operation” at the symposium of the film’s creators. The former Minister of Public Security of the Communist Party of China Guo Shengkun, and the now-defunct political and legal officials Fu Zhenghua and Sun Lijun all attended the meeting.
In January last year, Zhou Zhuohua was interviewed by the Chinese Communist Party CCTV as the president of the Macau Film and Television Production and Cultural Association.
Zhou Zhuohua, who is well-known in the entertainment industry, will naturally not shoot red movies just to promote the “main theme”. In recent years, money laundering through the entertainment industry has become a well-known secret, and an industrial chain has been formed. The insider concluded that the main methods of money laundering through the entertainment industry are: inflated investment in film and television production costs, yin and yang contracts, and false box office revenues.
According to sources, Suncity Group was once a capital chain of Bona Pictures, and Bona Pictures is the main producer of the red film “Changjin Lake” recently promoted by the Chinese Communist Party. Strangely, on June 10 last year, Huang Wei, vice president of Bona Pictures, committed suicide by jumping off the building.
According to sources, as the Chinese Communist Party continues to tighten control over the entertainment industry this year, money laundering through the entertainment industry is bound to be hit. Moreover, what Xi Jinping’s authorities currently attach the most importance to is to prevent the outflow of funds, while Zhou Zhuohua just hit the gun. According to external analysis, after the Chinese Communist Party’s “killing the chickens and the monkeys” this time, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for the wealthy and officials in China to try to transfer capital overseas.
On November 27, the Macau police stated that Zhou Zhuohua’s alleged acts of soliciting mainland residents to conduct online gambling, transferring funds through underground banks and other violations of the laws of the Macau Special Administrative Region “will never tolerate”. On November 28, the Macau police stated that a total of 11 people were arrested in this operation, of which 9 people including Zhou Zhuohua were detained, and a large number of computers, electronic storage devices and 3 million cash were seized.
