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

Chapter 233: Please release more "My Love from the Star" series!
Suddenly, Ikeno made a "three" gesture in the direction of Jin Xia.

The old lady was taken aback, her face slightly flushed. She lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes to hide her embarrassment. After a while, feeling that it was about time, she magnanimously gestured a "five".

Chiye was surprised.

This summer, she waved her hand triumphantly, indicating that it was no big deal.

"OK."

Ikeno turned back with satisfaction, and Kanatsu nodded in satisfaction as well.

Both of them were quite satisfied, but Chi Ye's die-hard fans were very dissatisfied... Zhu Yaolin and the four-character idol, whose popularity was overshadowed, as well as many people in the industry, were also dissatisfied.

"He's trending at number one right now?"

In the second row, Zhu Yaolin frowned: "Even when I won Best Actor, I couldn't surpass him?"

"It's his 'rumor' with this summer... These two are too good at creating hype, from variety shows to real life. With the halo of Professor Chi and Cheon Song-yi, they can overshadow others as long as they make a little noise."

A producer friend next to me laughed: "Don't worry, even the four-character name is being suppressed."

"...Whether he is suppressed or not is not important, I am the Best Actor."

Zhu Yaolin felt a little uneasy—anyone would be unhappy if they encountered something like this at the moment of their "ascension." He was supposed to be treated like a protagonist, but you just took it away from him.

Of course, Zhu Yaolin felt that Chi Ye stole his spotlight, especially at the most crucial juncture of his career, which was very unfair.

But Lin Yangqianrui also felt that Zhu Yaolin had stolen his Best Actor award, especially at the peak of his career—which was very unfair.

Meanwhile, Ikeno is even more of a mystery. His B-rated drama "My Love from the Star" is still going strong, and he really doesn't understand what's so great about that crappy idol drama.

"Keep buying. The positive topics should not only surpass Zhu Yaolin's, but also Chi Ye's. That lousy supporting male character singing and dancing is so damn annoying."

Seizing the opportunity, Si Zi sent a WeChat message to his agent.

The agent quickly replied: "OK, also, it's not one person, it's two people."

[That girl, Jin Xia, was annoying to many, but she was redeemed because of a terrible drama.]

"Aren't you planning to collaborate with her on your next project?"

Don't even mention it, I was rejected.

【what? 】

The agent was bewildered: "Who would reject you? And why?"

Just mentioning those four words makes me angry. It would be fine if you had a reason, but this summer's refusal was completely unreasonable. If I had to say something, it would probably be that she didn't want to cooperate.

As for why he didn't want to cooperate, he was very sensitive about his pride and didn't want to find out any further.

No, why?

You're just a minor actress who gets some popularity through idol dramas, yet you "dare" to actively reject me, the hottest "billion-dollar actor" in the Chinese entertainment industry?
Don't forget, just a year ago, you could only play supporting roles in my movies!
Si Zi was really frustrated. He felt that anything related to Chi Ye would bring him bad luck... He... He craved attention. Who said he didn't like attention? It's just that he didn't grow up to be good-looking. Who wouldn't want more people to like them?

Ding dong.

The agent sent another WeChat message, but this time it wasn't the message itself, but a Weibo link.

He paused for a moment, clicked in, glanced at the page, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

……

11 o'clock in the evening.

The 37th China Golden Rooster Awards ceremony has officially concluded.

Of course, the end does not mean the end. Since it is a rare annual gathering of industry professionals, a banquet will be arranged in the evening after the ceremony. In addition, there will be related interviews and reports from various official media tomorrow.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Chi Ye was pulled aside by Director Zhang of "Loop" and several actor friends from "My Love from the Star" to exchange pleasantries. After he finished exchanging pleasantries, he was about to go find the old lady when he noticed the hand gesture Coco was making to him.

People from China Film Group came; we've arranged to have dinner together tonight.

Chi Ye could only glance at the crowd but did not see the old lady. He could only follow Coco to see the person in charge of China Film Group.

……

the other side.

This summer, immediately after the ceremony ended, she was "surrounded" by a group of people.

However, those who can attend the Golden Rooster Awards are either big names or have powerful backgrounds, so they certainly won't be so blatant. The so-called "surrounding" is just a warm exchange and social interaction.

Previously, this summer's personality was not very likable in the industry. Not only did the general public dislike this drama queen, but even people within the industry complained about her dramatic temper.

Not to mention, the film industry has never seemed to treat her well.

But today is different.

To be precise, it's the difference in "assets" this summer and now.

—Didn't you hear what Ikeno said today?
This summer, Ikeno Studio became a major shareholder!

Those projects and blockbuster hits that Ikeno mentioned are almost all "works" from this summer.

Those brainless teams outside are releasing press releases and hiring online trolls to market and lick Chi Ye's boots, but licking Chi Ye is nowhere near as fast as licking Jin Xia.
If they wanted to, they thought it would be easier to act in a work by Ikeno this summer.

"Xiaxia, which collection was that dress you wore at the last show from? I searched for ages but couldn't find it."

"Congratulations, Xiaxia."

"Congratulations?" Jin Xia looked at the young actress born in the 95s in front of her with little interest, a bit confused: "Congratulations on what?"

Xiaohua blinked: "Didn't Ikeno win an award...?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

The Empress Dowager realized what was happening and was overjoyed: "Then you should congratulate me more."

Everyone: "..."

not far away.

Sheng Ning was smoking with her arms crossed, quietly watching this side.

"Sister Ning, Sister Ning."

Suddenly, a voice that was both strange and familiar rang out. Sheng Ning was startled and turned around to see Sister Shang sneaking over.

"You...how did you get here?"

Sheng Ning was genuinely surprised.

Among the four little actresses, Shang Jie has the best interpersonal relationships, but this does not include Sheng Ning... because Sheng Ning herself has a bad temper, and the outside world has always compared the two. Some say that Sheng Ning is the leader of the four little actresses, while others say that Shang Jie is.

Therefore, given Shang Jie's personality, she was unable to develop a good relationship with Sheng Ning.

Of course, this "not getting along well" is relative. Compared to others, at least Sister Shang can "communicate" with Sheng Ning.

"I... I was just bored and came here for a stroll."

Sister Shang blinked and glanced at the smug Jin Xia as if by accident: "Oh dear, Xia Xia, this shareholder, is very busy now."

Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow and looked at her suspiciously.

Sister Shang remained calm and continued, "We haven't gotten together in a long time. How about we grab a bite to eat together later?"

Sheng Ning stared at her: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm leaving."

When Sister Shang met Sheng Ning's imposing phoenix eyes, she lowered her head somewhat guiltily, kowtowed three times in a row, and then turned and ran away.

"Is she sick?"

Sheng Ning felt even more puzzled, finding Shang Youshu's behavior very strange... as abstract as ever.

……

Before Shang Jie could even begin to persuade Shi Jinwei, she gave up and ran away, leaving her in a less than pleasant mood. But soon, her eyes lit up when she saw Shi Jinwei standing alone at the door, looking in a certain direction. "Weiwei, Weiwei."

Shang Jie leaned closer, peeking in with the same curious expression: "Are you looking at Chi Ye?"

Sister Pliers: “?”

Sister Shang's face turned serious: "I've been diagnosed with an illness."

Shi Jin was slightly startled: "Ah? What illness?!"

"...It's hard to say."

Shi Jin frowned slightly as she looked her over: "Is this from the show last time? Are you... alright?"

"It's nothing, it's just hunger."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinwei felt even more flustered, but seeing Sister Shang emphasize "hunger" again, she realized what was going on and looked at her speechlessly: "Who did you learn this from, sister? Don't joke about things like this."

"Oh... I just saw you were sad... Weiwei, let's go eat something delicious, okay? I'm hungry."

Sister Shang put her arm around Shi Jinwei, and her "wandering hands" subtly patted Sister Pliers' buttocks, winking as she said, "Spend some time with me tonight."

Shi Jinwei blushed slightly and slapped Shang Jie's hand away: "Stop fooling around, what are you doing!"

"Hehe, elbow thud."

While praising Shi Jinwei, Sister Shang also called to her assistant, "I'll order Chi Ye to give you a definite answer about the cooperation later!"

Shi Jinwei immediately shook her head, instinctively saying, "No, that's not what I meant. I just came here to get some fresh air..."

"Don't be so hard, Weiwei, or I'll soften you up."

Shang Jie treats other women just like any other girl treats her best friend; she can be as "violent" as she wants in private conversations.

Shi Jin remained silent for a moment before asking, "Are we going to eat at Wallace?"

Sister Shang asked in surprise, "You want to eat congee?"

Shi Jinwei: "...Sister, stop talking, it's disgusting."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, we're not having Western food today, we're having Chinese food."

Sister Shang smiled and left with Shi Jinwei.

……

One o'clock.

Ikeno and Coco's group came out of the private room.

—The dinner was over, and we didn't really talk about anything productive. It was just a matter of getting acquainted. At the very end, we mentioned a few things about China Film Group's investment in "The Martian".

It's clear that after experiencing "The Fortress of Shanghai," they have some lingering effects on science fiction films, especially projects led by actors like Ikeno. If it weren't for instructions from above, they probably wouldn't have wanted to get involved.

"Brother Chi, it seems like everyone in the bureau is putting on airs."

As they left the venue, Coco remarked with a touch of melancholy, "Is it because of 'The Fortress of Shanghai'?"

"Not exactly."

Ikeno thought for a moment and said, "This award has actually made many people quite unhappy, but there's nothing they can do about it."

"...Brother Chi, the way you're saying that sounds like you're showing off."

"It's not just a coincidence, I'm just pretending."

cocoa:"……"

Ikeno Raku then let out a long sigh: "The film industry is different from the drama industry. Many people have been in the industry for ten or twenty years, and the industry has already been established. It's not something you can just blend into."

“Take the Beijing circle and China Film Group for example. These people have their own connections at the top. If you are softer, they may accept you. If you are tougher, they will think you are deliberately showing off.”

Chino also had a bit of a headache: "This B circle... really does feel like an old lady's foot binding cloth."

"what?"

"Stinky and pretentious."

"..."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me check the time... Xiaxia is already asleep... Never mind, I won't call."

Chi Ye took out his phone, about to dial Jin Xia's number, but then noticed the time and put the phone down.

"Brother Chi... things are in trouble in the backyard, someone's causing trouble again."

At this moment, Coco also opened WeChat, glanced at it a few times, and looked tired: "The few Weibo posts you made today caused a fight between the toxic solo stans and the CP fans."

Ikeno: "...It's okay, don't worry about it."

After "My Love from the Star", Ikeno's personal popularity reached its peak, attracting countless fans, most of whom were female.

Among these female fans, the most numerous are toxic fans, who are mostly girlfriend fans or wife fans and are one of the "mortal enemies" of various CP fans.

Today, Chi Ye interacted with Jin Xia on Weibo in various ways, which obviously provoked these fans.

However, Ikeno's team's method of managing fans is actually very advanced. In other words, although Ikeno's toxic fans are usually very crazy, they are always kept within a certain range by the team. At most, they will complain in private supertopics, but they will not cause any trouble.

The current situation can only mean that there are rivals stirring things up behind the scenes, deliberately fanning the flames.

"How many people have been blocked by my top current? They keep messing with me like this every day."

Chi Ye muttered something, opened Weibo, glanced at it, and found that it wasn't just the CP fans of Du Wei and Chi Pan Xia Yu who were fighting, but even the CP fans of Shi Jin Wei, Shang Jie, Sheng Ning, and Ran Qiao were fighting.

He paused, then posted a single sentence on Weibo using his own account: "Shh, goodnight."

The CP fans and toxic solo stans, who had been completely swayed and were practically tearing each other apart, suddenly fell silent—at least they stopped jumping around in the super topic.

Instead, they all went to his location to farm data.

“If you keep doing this, Brother Chi, you’ll lose a lot of traffic.”

Coco witnessed the whole process and was a little worried: "Several young actors have been exposed recently, and they are all sucking your blood."

Ikeno's forceful approach may seem to solve the problem, but in reality, every time he uses it, many die-hard fans who can't stand it will choose to leave.

Commonly known as washing powder.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages, but for Ikeno, it doesn't matter.

"It's okay, they'll come back."

Ikeno looked up at the sky: "I'll come back next time it snows."

Coco was taken aback: "Huh? Why?"

"Because 'Goblin' airs on snowy days."

The concepts of gaining and losing fans only apply to "ordinary top stars" like Yu Yan.

For Ikeno, once he reaches this position, he will never go down.

Can't stand it? If you can't stand it, then just make a few more "My Love from the Star" movies.

……

At the other end of the dinner party.

The China Film Group representative got into the car, holding his phone: "Yes... well, how should I put it... there's no way around it, the higher-ups want to support science fiction films, so we have to invest whether we want to or not, we have to show some attitude."

"Yes, yes, I know 'The Fortress of Shanghai' lost a lot of money, but with this news, the few capital firms that can afford to play this kind of project should not be short of money... Hmm, 'The Martian' is a project that Chi Ye did himself, so he must be short of money... Is '749 Bureau' going to increase its investment?"

"...Let me think about it. I don't think these people in the Beijing circle are very reliable."
