Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 187 of "My Love from the Star" is scheduled for release on satellite TV.
Since Ji Heming's scandal broke, the landscape of top celebrities in the entertainment industry has been in a state of "chaos".

Yu Yan and Si Zi's positions remain unshaken, and they look down on the market gap left by Ji Heming—both of them have already reached their peak, and they can't absorb much more.

Chu Hanzhou, one of the "Four Orphans," made no outward moves, but secretly he was actively marketing to fill the market gap left by the prison's leadership, while Peng Chen was visibly eager to rise to the top.

Looking down from above, it's clear that the young male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are all harboring their own agendas and fighting their own battles.

Ikeno is a rather prominent character among them.

He "personally" caused Ji Heming's death, and then with the support of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and "Singer", his marketing continued and his status rose a little bit every day.

Everyone knew he had received enough benefits.

But when I actually saw that he could now go toe-to-toe with Yu Yan and even take the number one spot in single sales on the first day, I still felt like my worldview had been reshaped and my previous understanding had been "shattered".

—After destruction comes reconstruction and rebirth.

This day, though short, allowed people in the industry to completely "recognize" Ikeno anew.

Chi Ye now.

"Ikeno's new album sold 7300 million copies on its first day, 8 more than Yu Yan's."

Hong Kong, light and shadow pick up dreams.

Holding the report in her hand, she had barely rested all day since learning yesterday that Chi Ye might "win" against Yu Yan, and had been keeping a close eye on the "battle situation".

At this moment, looking at the report in her hand, her feelings were so complex that they were hard to describe.

They actually... won.

Ikeno won against Yuyan…

How unfamiliar are these words?

I still remember that just a year ago, Chino was an unknown nobody, struggling with his contract with Yuena, and I ended up helping him resolve it.

Back then, he was able to appear at the New Year's Eve gala thanks to the support of the "See You" program team. At that time, no one would have thought that this person who was almost unknown in the industry would be able to "go head-to-head" with Yu Yan in less than a year.

How magical!

Thinking about these things this year, I inexplicably recalled something that she said to me this summer: "Auntie, I have a very good eye."

"...You do have a good eye, better than mine."

This year I'm grumbling.

"Mr. Sui, we still can't get through to Mr. Ming on the phone, what do you think..."

Sister Zhang came over and suggested, "Why don't you... try calling it with your own phone?"

After regaining her senses this year, she wasn't surprised at all: "Forget it, let's just pretend nothing happened and save him some face."

"Well... actually, Mr. Ming is doing this for your own good."

This year, after a pause, he said sincerely, "Please don't say that... I want to have many more years."

Sister Zhang: "..."

……

Chaotian Entertainment.

Jinming turned off his phone in advance and then stared at the trending topics online in great confusion: "It's incomprehensible... Given Yuyan's past professionalism and strength, it's really illogical that her performance this time is so disappointing, which is hard to accept."

Translation: Yu Yan has diarrhea?!
"I heard that their team didn't let the fans push their sales, in order to boost the album's cumulative sales."

"That's what the assistant next to me said."

“Even if there are objective reasons, it is by no means an excuse... He is Yu Yan, he cannot ‘lose’.”

Jinming does not agree with this reasoning. He feels that since everyone has praised you so highly and the market has made you a "god," you must have the halo of a "god" and cannot shed blood—not even a drop.

"Many companies are trying to get Ikeno to write songs for them. Look at our movies..."

"Wait, what's the rush? It's just one song, how could he really beat Yu Yan?"

We wave goodbye today and tomorrow.

Are you kidding me? You want him to go ask Ikeno to write a song for him?
It would be better to kill him.

The assistant was not surprised and nodded as he reported on other tasks.

……

at the same time.

People who used to look down on Ikeno, despise him for just riding on his coattails, and even hate or oppose him...

Regardless of what they say, they all suddenly realized their mistake at this moment and corrected their attitude, whether actively or passively.

Things are not what they used to be.

Ikeno now definitely deserves to be called the "double top" among the "Four Great Double Explosions and Double Tops".

As for why it wasn't a "double explosion" or even a "Big Four"...

It's very simple. He has too few film and television works, and he hasn't had a truly blockbuster drama yet. Moreover, the so-called "defeating" Yu Yan in sales on a single day is just a standard that everyone tacitly agrees on.

In fact, the first day's competition was just an appetizer; sales of both singles and albums are cumulative.

Just like with the albums "Reboot" and those of Hua Yichen and Shi Jinwei, what everyone is looking at is the final cumulative sales figures.

On the first day, Chi Ye had just defeated Yu Yan when Yu Yan's fans, who had gone crazy, instantly overtook him and the gap between them widened.

With 7300 million views on the first day, Ikeno's fanbase has reached its limit, and casual listeners are even less likely to continue buying his singles.

Sales naturally began to lose momentum.

of course.

No matter how much momentum he lacks, as the first person in the Chinese entertainment industry to "go head-on" with Yu Yan and "successfully" do so, everyone now looks at Chi Ye with a certain strange emotion.

The recording of "Let's Go Together" is on its last day.

Ikeno and Jin Xia are about to leave for their next engagement...

Actually, there aren't many left, because Director Liu has already sent word that "My Love from the Star" has passed censorship and is now just waiting for its release date and the final issue of its broadcast on a major television network.

on site.

Ikeno is discussing the issue of broadcasting "My Love from the Star" on satellite TV with Director Liu, Kuying, and other key investors of "My Love from the Star".

Did Hunan TV reject it?

In the Penguin Meeting group chat.

The person in charge who had previously upgraded the treatment of "Loop" from A+ to S+ frowned, surprised: "With your connection to Ikeno, how could you refuse?"

Ikeno didn't say anything, because Coco had always been in charge of this matter.

Coco explained, "The schedule over there is quite tight; the dates were already booked, and there's no way to cut in line... Well, we're currently in contact with several other top-tier satellite TV stations."

"...Okay, let's do it as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, then we'll just do online streaming or individual streaming. Going on satellite TV isn't that important right now."

The person in charge of CoolCinema sensed something was off about Coco's tone and wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

After discussing the release date of "My Love from the Star" for a few more minutes, everyone left the meeting room.

Then, Coco called Chi Ye alone and said bluntly, "There's a problem, it's been intercepted."

Chi Ye was not surprised at all: "Yu Yan?"

"Well, Mango TV was about to close the deal, but then the production company for Yu Yan's new drama sent a message, and then..."

Coco didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear—Hunan TV chose Yu Yan over Chi Ye without hesitation.

There was actually a little incident involved.

Yu Yan's new script was originally sought after by several TV stations, but in the end, Yu Yan's team decided to broadcast it on Tomato TV. Due to "last-minute reasons," they planned to participate in Tomato TV's New Year's Eve Gala.

Thus, Chi Ye, who is also scheduled to participate in the Tomato TV New Year's Eve Gala this year, naturally doesn't need to think about having the headlining treatment.

But perhaps they found out that "My Love from the Star" wanted to air on Hunan TV, or perhaps it was for some other reason...

In short, the production team of Yu Yan's new drama changed their minds at the last minute and started contacting Hunan TV again.

Furthermore, the new drama was ultimately scheduled to air on Hunan TV.

The release date was "coincidentally" the peak winter break season that "My Love from the Star" was aiming for. That's why Coco said it was "cut off".

It was indeed intercepted, and it was intercepted without any attempt to conceal it.

—After this conflict, Yu Yanfang finally stopped being aloof, and Chi Ye really angered them.

If Yu Yan's team targeted Chi Ye before simply because of the relationship between Yue Na and Tencent, then now... it's purely a personal grudge, and an irreconcilable one at that.

Are you trying to scam me?
What I'm doing right now is you.

I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm targeting you.

Chi Ye showed no emotion about this. After listening to Coco's story, he thought for a moment and said, "Since Mango TV has chosen Yu Yan, let's contact Tomato TV."

"That's what I thought too."

Coco nodded.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Ikeno was about to hang up the phone.

"Brother Chi..."

Coco paused, then reminded him, "Yu Yan seems to be really anxious this time. We need to be prepared to be targeted."

"know."

Ikeno hung up the phone, not taking the matter too seriously.

against?

How to target it?

Hasn't he been targeted enough before?

It's not like it'll hurt you, so come if you're in a hurry.

……

Yu Yanfang and Yue Na's targeting of Chi Ye was more intense than expected.

Two days later, Ikeno, who was still running around for publicity and promotion, received a message that several big brands that had intended to hire him for endorsement and cooperation because of the incident that broke out a few days ago had all stopped responding.

Coco found out that it was Yu Yan's team that had contacted them, and two days later, Yu Yan won several big-name endorsements that she had previously "looked down on".

It's not just about endorsements. Although Yu Yan's team didn't make any official statements in the event announcements, everyone in the industry has recently heard a rumor: Chi Ye cannot appear at the events Yu Yan is at.

It's either me or him.

This single rumor caused several events that Ikeno was in contact with to be canceled on the spot.

In fact, whether it's endorsements or events, given Chi Ye's current status and popularity, especially since she has just proven her "strength," Yu Yan cannot completely eliminate her.

Many manufacturers and event organizers who couldn't afford Yu Yan to hire him were very willing to cooperate with Ikeno.

But the attitude of top manufacturers and luxury brands towards Chi Ye is obvious—between Yu Yan and Chi Ye, is there any need to ask who to choose?
the other side.

It's not just that resources within the industry are being snatched away in various ways.

Even outside the entertainment industry, the official flagship stores for products and snacks endorsed by Ikeno have been affected.

A large number of "unknown passersby" began to give negative reviews and boycott products endorsed by Ikeno, which triggered a backlash from Ikeno's fans.

This behavior has caused a huge uproar and chaos in the merchants' comment sections.

Several manufacturers even received numerous complaints in a single day, leaving them overwhelmed and stressed.

— Such attacks and reports from trolls don't actually have a significant impact on large companies; in fact, they might even make people dislike Yu Yan's fans more.

However, Ikeno, who brings "trouble," also leaves a bad impression.

And... those reports are really annoying. Who in business likes this kind of trouble?

this day.

A senior executive from Master Kong who had been in contact with Chi Ye called: "Chi Ye, our customer service receives thousands of complaint calls every day... You'd better come up with a solution, many people are annoyed."

"Okay, I see."

Chi Ye exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, hung up the phone, and muttered to himself, "They're probably hoping your brother dies."

This kind of thing is actually quite common in fandoms, but because Yu Yan has a huge number of fans, the impact is even worse...

Chi Ye believes that Yu Yanfang would not do such a thing; this is probably a spontaneous action by a group of fans.

But... who cares if you did it spontaneously?
Now that you've fallen into my hands, I'm determined not to let you have an easy time.

That very day, Chi Ye instructed Coco to secretly gather and organize various pieces of information. This would be a weapon, a weapon to "kill and steal" at a crucial moment.

Thus, the entire month of December was spent in this atmosphere of impending storm, with the two "top influencers" clashing.

On the evening of the 31st, Chi Ye appeared on Tomato TV, making his first appearance as the headliner of a major satellite TV station's New Year's Eve gala.

Yu Yan appeared on Hunan TV, also as the closing act, but no major conflicts occurred offstage.

However, within a short period of time, Yu Yan officially announced on Weibo the release date of her new drama "Wild Crossing" during the winter break at the beginning of this year, and the next day, Chi Ye officially announced the release date of "My Love from the Star" - one on January 2nd and the other on January 5th.

So far, things have been relatively normal. Every year during the summer and winter vacations/Spring Festival seasons, it's just a stage for various platforms and top influencers to compete, nothing out of the ordinary.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yan's fans felt that the name "Wild Crossing" was very unlucky!
It contains the character "野" (wild)!

Isn't this just giving Ikeno an opportunity to piggyback on someone else's popularity?
When Yu Yan's team learned of this news, they didn't think much of it at first, but upon closer reflection, they also felt it was extremely unlucky.

So, not long after, "Wild Crossing" was changed to "Difficult Crossing".

Because the incident escalated so much, the official announcement of the release date for Kiwi's new Lunar New Year S+ ancient costume drama "Folding Moon" went unnoticed.

"Damn it, did Tencent and Coolfilm conspire together? They're not including us!"

The kiwifruit executives were furious and immediately called Sheng Ning, a shareholder and the lead actress of the TV series "Zhe Mingyue".

Subsequently, Sheng Ning and Peng Chen joined forces to promote the product, finally attracting everyone's attention.

Thus, the three S+ platforms for stock buying at the start of 2026 have officially taken the stage.

1 month 2 number.

Chi Ye appeared at the CCTV building for the Nth rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. At the same time, he was on the phone saying, "The publicity is all done. Just wait, it's about to air... Don't stop. Have your relatives keep stocking up... the more the better."

Inside the same building.

Sheng Ning stubbed out her slim cigarette, a disdainful smirk playing on her lips: "He must be getting targeted terribly lately."

"Yu Yan wants to rely on one person to boost his popularity, and no one can withstand that."

The agent nodded.

"Hmph, now he knows how 'gentle' I was to him back then, doesn't he?"

"That scoundrel, he even filmed kissing scenes, and he seemed to enjoy it."

After Sheng Ning finished speaking, she turned to her agent and asked, "Yu Yan didn't come to rehearsal today?"

"The movie 'Difficult Crossing' will be released tonight, and he has an event on Douyin."

The agent checked the time: "We're airing tomorrow, so I'll have to take leave for the next rehearsal. After today's rehearsal, I have to fly over immediately to join the rest of the crew."

"I see."

Sheng Ning crossed her legs, and a figure appeared in her phoenix eyes. She curled her lips and sneered, "He's not in a hurry at all, huh?"

……

"Yu Yan really does keep his word. He does what he says. It's either me or him, and he really didn't come."

On the other side, Chi Ye jokingly teased Xiao Liu, wishing him well: "May his new drama, as its name suggests, 'difficult to overcome'."

Xiao Liu: "..."

……

That evening, Yu Yan's first major production of a modern romance drama in two years officially premiered on Tencent Video and Hunan TV.

From this moment on, the most exciting annual Spring Festival film season officially begins.
