Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 978 Li Lianhua Gets Trampled (23)

Yang Mi has been considering a career change...

After all, she's already 32!
To be honest, I'm too old for historical romance dramas and idol dramas...

Actually, she has always acted in both movies and TV series...

There are also many memorable characters, such as Qiu Ya in "Goodbye Mr. Loser"...

But that's just a pretty vase!

Liu Sihui in "Dying to Survive" is no mere pretty face.

Her entrance was marked by a pole dance show!

Is she a patient?

"She isn't, her daughter is!"

Confucius said: Parents are only worried about their children's illnesses.

Compared to the patients, there is another group of people who suffer even more: the family members who are always by the patient's side.

Each character in the film represents a type of person, and Sihui is a typical example of a patient's family member who is at the bottom of society.

She plays a very important role: she is the group leader of a chronic leukemia support group and a leader among online patients…

With her help, Cheng Yong and his group were able to sell the medicine successfully!

Sex scenes:

When the Lord insisted on pulling her into the car, she refused once or twice, but still wanted to get in.

When he's happy, change into your standard underwear, sit on him and move around, and when you sense he's not quite satisfied: there's a hotel downstairs, where you can relax more.

If even a husband who has sworn eternal love can still leave, then what does Yong Ge, whose eyes are scanning her body, want? How can she not give him what he wants?

This plot point also suggests that this was not her first time!
Of course, we can't judge from a moral standpoint either—her daughter is sick, and for Si Hui, whether she dances striptease or sells herself is essentially unimportant. Her safety is at stake, her daughter's life is in danger, and morality is just a naked joke.

Yang Mi portrayed this character very well!

Of course, Fumino's habit of shooting more than twenty takes is also one of the reasons.

Netizens, including independent media, mainstream media, and even official media, have offered various forms of praise…

On August 17th, there's also a film called "Project Gutenberg"...

This year is definitely going to be a very fruitful one for her!
Unfilmed projects include "Something in the Rain," "Little South Wind," and the films "The Captain" and "Shock Wave 2"...

"Little South Wind" is the same as "Dim Fire".

Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng's drama flopped!
A stunning woman bullied by the townspeople, a "slut" falsely accused by her husband, and a goddess in the eyes of high school students...

The Chinese version of "Malèna".

The biggest problem with this drama is that the female lead is unsuitable!
Nursery rhymes can't portray this kind of woman!
She doesn't have that allure...

On the contrary, Yang Mi would be a perfect match!
Oh, she has never rejected television dramas—after all, many actresses in the film industry couldn't make it in the industry and ended up making television dramas.

Zhou Xun has "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", Zhang Ziyi is preparing "The Legend of the Phoenix", and Fan Bingbing is gradually falling into the curse of "The Legend of Ba Qing".

Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Kun and Nini also filmed "The Rise of Phoenixes".

Add Tang Wei's "Princess of the Ming Dynasty"...

The dramas registered for broadcast all have around 100 episodes, and are all adaptations of old-fashioned online romance novels with Mary Sue themes, touted as big IPs and featuring strong female leads. It's rumored that Youku and Tencent Video had a conflict at their employee dinner over the exclusive broadcasting rights to "The Legend of the Phoenix"...

—Initially, it was rumored that Zhang Ziyi would play the female lead and Hu Ge would play the male lead…

Tencent initially acquired the copyright, but it was later transferred to Youku!
However, the consequences of these dramas…

It has been repeatedly delayed, and there has been no news of its release for a long time.

Those rumors, phoenixes, and industries, as they were suppressed, caused the major trends in the industry to shift several times.

The classic Mary Sue story, longer than a foot-binding cloth, has truly become a foot-binding cloth, abandoned by the audience.

These ambitious projects were all renamed, scaled down, and cut several times before being sold off to the platform at a loss. They made a lot of noise but accomplished little, and ultimately failed miserably.

In comparison, the most tragic case is "The Legend of Ba Qing"—it was incredibly popular in 2017, a big-budget production with huge investments and A-list male and female leads, raising high expectations for the series. Then, the second female lead, Ma Su, got into trouble, followed by the male lead, Gao Yunxiang, being accused of sexual assault in Australia…

There was no other way; Li Chen was brought in to save the day. Much of the initial content had already been completed, so they could only rely on green screens and chroma keying.

It's finally over...

The main character, Fan Bingbing, is in trouble again!
I heard the production cost has reached an outrageous 5.8 million...

……

Recently, something happened in the entertainment industry: Peng Yuyan's seat-changing incident.

At this year's Weibo Night, his team tampered with the venue at the last minute, changing his and Li Lianhua's seats, moving Peng Yuyan, who was originally scheduled to sit in the second row, to sit in the first row where Li Lianhua was originally scheduled to sit.

As a result, at a high-profile public event, Peng Yuyan sat in the front row, his seating order surpassing that of Li Lianhua, one of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses.
Then, through a group of marketing accounts, they could boast that his status had surpassed that of Li Lianhua, a top actress in the film industry, and that he would rightfully join the ranks of top stars in the Chinese film industry.

It seems pretty unbelievable, doesn't it?
Peng Yuyan has been very popular in recent years!
His team is amazing!
Capitalizing on public dissatisfaction with the first generation of "traffic stars" (young, popular male celebrities) such as Li Yifeng and Wu Fanfan, who were criticized for their poor acting skills and lack of professionalism, the company heavily promoted Peng Yuyan's dedication and hard work, marketing his muscular physique comparable to that of a fitness coach. Furthermore, numerous marketing materials linked him to true Hong Kong and Taiwan heartthrobs like Daniel Wu and Takeshi Kaneshiro, marketing him as a "universally recognized male god among women" and touting him as "women's dream lover"...

Is there any effect?

Yes, there are. At least the movie resources are top-notch!
If you are not the male lead, you will not play:
Ann Hui's *Our Time Will Come* and *Love After Love*, the popular IP *Wu Kong*, Jiang Wen's *Hidden Man*, Lin Chaoxian's *The Rescue*, Ning Hao's *Tropical Memories*, Guan Hu's *Dog Battle*...

The seat-switching incident occurred before the release of "Hidden Man".

During the promotional period, Jiang Wen showered him with all sorts of "doting praise"...

With so many resources at her disposal, becoming a top-tier celebrity is a foregone conclusion!

Lotus was in an awkward position!

After "The Beauty Inside" in 2011, she spent seven years trying to break into Hollywood, but her efforts were not very successful, and she only acted in two Chinese-language films.

Her co-production film "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" failed to win awards and flopped at the box office. In 2015, "Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal" was a critical and commercial flop during the Spring Festival. Last year, her film "The Nest" had an investment of 1.5 million yuan but a box office of less than 5000 million yuan.

Frankly speaking, Li Lianhua, now 45 years old, the oldest and lowest-grossing actress among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China), is clearly on the verge of being "out of fashion" and "retiring" in the eyes of countless people in the entertainment industry who are quick to criticize and quick to judge.

It's difficult for them to compete with a rising star like Peng Yuyan.

However, Li Lianhua's team responded head-on. Upon learning that her seat had been changed, she disregarded her back injury, wore a haute couture dress and high heels over ten centimeters, and stood backstage for a full five hours. The next day, she revealed the inside story to the public, which was tantamount to directly tearing off the mask of civility.

Although Peng Yuyan apologized, he lost a lot of public goodwill.

But this doesn't mean his "upgrade plan" actually failed; it was just a minor incident.

Then, Shen Yan directly moved up the release date of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" by one week!
This is a direct attack on "Hidden Man"—originally scheduled for release on July 27, giving "Hidden Man" two weeks, but now that's been cut off!
