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

What exactly is Chapter 386 excited about?

Two supreme masters in one family!

This is the "shock" that the cast and crew of "Zhao Zhao Zi Qing" brought to the Chinese entertainment industry tonight.

In a drama featuring a strong female lead, the female lead's career inexplicably collapses, followed by the male lead using a secondary account to criticize her and pleading with viewers to continue watching the show. The production team then quickly distances themselves from the controversy.

Finally, the male lead publicly criticized the production team, suggesting that the team had never treated him as a "star" and that the conflict had been brewing for a long time.

The onlookers enjoyed the drama, "Zhao Zhao Zi Qing" had a good time, and Ikeno also had a great time.

That's how it should be. If this show doesn't have some exciting moments to make it break out of its niche, who will still pay attention?

As a result, the highly anticipated drama "Zhao Zhao Zi Qing" may die before it even begins. Not only did it fail to meet the expectations of Tencent and its investors, it also died at lightning speed before it even started airing.

Its speed is so fast that it can be described as a great spectacle in the Chinese entertainment industry.

That night, the Chinese entertainment industry was bustling with activity, and the creators of Tencent Video and "Zhao Zhao Zi Qing" were unable to sleep a wink.

As the sun rises again and a new day begins, all the anger, resentment, and bitterness quietly accumulate, waiting to be released.

"Brother Chi, we need to go check out the film set and the concert venue today. We have to fly back tonight..."

Coco followed Ikeno closely, speaking rapidly about his upcoming work arrangements.

After leaving Hunan TV last night, Chi Ye didn't have a moment to rest. "Love O2O" is scheduled to premiere on the 21st of this month. It will be available on iQiyi and broadcast on Hunan TV.

In terms of resources and platform alone, the lineup of completely newcomers in "Love O2O" is nothing short of a miracle.

Of course, if you see the production company behind this show and the boss who is more famous than the actors in the show, you might understand all of this.

"It seems we won't be able to wait until the premiere of 'Love O2O'."

"...Brother Chi, are you afraid you won't be able to go on your honeymoon with Sister Xiaxia?"

After all, they've only been back for a few days. This summer, they'll be joining the cast of "My Sassy Girl" in three days, and Chi Ye will be busy with concerts, so they really won't have time for a honeymoon. This rare moment of leisure is just enough for them to see each other.

"It's really time to retire."

Ikeno didn't refute Coco, but instead said something unusual.

Coco paused, then laughed: "If you retire now, what will happen to the company and us?"

"...I'm not your father, what you do is none of my business."

Ikeno's lips were still coated with honey as always.

Coco stopped chatting with him and said, "I won't go in. You go by yourself."

Chi Ye glanced at her, shook his head without saying a word, and turned to walk into the private room of the upscale private club.

Inside the private room at this moment.

Zhang Qing, the powerful figure behind Wen Tiaotiao, was fiddling with tea sets when he saw Chi Ye enter. He paused, then stood up, smiling and extending his hand: "President Chi, I've heard so much about you."

Ikeno shook hands with him, sat down opposite him, and said bluntly, "Just say what you have to say."

If Wen's mother hadn't called him personally, he wouldn't have bothered to come at all.

However, Wen's mother was one of the few "elders" in the industry who treated him well. When he was targeted by the Beijing circle using their privileges, although Wen's mother didn't end up helping him much, it was clear that she did put in a lot of effort.

However, although Chi Ye agreed to meet the so-called big shot behind Wen Tiaotiao, he did not let Wen's mother come along.

There's no other reason than I don't want blood to splatter on those pretentious show-offs.

"Just say what's on your mind, I'm in a hurry."

Zhang Qing was taken aback, then slowly sat down and looked at Chi Ye with a smile: "President Chi is really outspoken... Well then I won't stand on ceremony with you. It's like this, Tiao Tiao really did something wrong this time. I only found out later. She was so out of her mind... Sigh."

"To be honest, we actually had many opportunities to become family... I mean, you've vented your anger and gotten the result you wanted, so could you... be lenient this time? I'll definitely repay you handsomely after this."

As he said this, Zhang Qing looked at Chi Ye with a sincere expression.

Chi Ye remained silent: "You really don't hold back."

Zhang Qing: "???"

"This has nothing to do with me."

Of course, Chi Ye would not admit that he was the one behind this. He said bluntly, "As for Wen Tiaotiao hitting someone, I can let bygones be bygones."

Zhang Qing: “…”

I didn't even touch you, but I tripped over the sign next to you. Now you're saying you won't pursue it, and you're acting all magnanimous?

Ugh, disgusting!

Zhang Qing is a complete outsider and was one of the leaders of the many people within Tencent Video who disliked Chi Ye.

This time, he thought he had lowered his stance enough for his mistress, but seeing Chi Ye's reaction and attitude made him feel as if he had been slapped a few times - I've already done this much, and you still won't let it go.

Young man, isn't this a bit too much?
His eyes lost their smile, and his voice turned cold: "President Chi, leave some room for others to live. This is the advice I want to give you today. Many times, there's no need to go too far. If you don't let others live, do you think they'll let you live?"

"No matter what circle you're in, having more friends is always better than having more enemies, don't you think?"

Chi Ye actually nodded in agreement: "Mr. Zhang is right."

He genuinely believes that.

Having reached this point, Ikeno has grown a lot compared to before.

Looking back on everything he's done, he was somewhat unscrupulous in his actions, but that wasn't a flaw in the Chinese entertainment industry; in fact, he was just as adept at making enemies.

In fact, if he had been willing to give up some of his interests back then, his situation would likely be better than it is now.

If he could do it all over again, would he get along well with other people?
Maybe, but more likely it won't.

However, he does find a more subtle and mature way to deal with things, and perhaps if he had just been more gentle, many of the subsequent events would not have occurred.

Of course, it's all hindsight now, but at least Ikeno really dislikes Zhang Qing.

Chino knew that it was this group of people who had been secretly plotting against him, like venomous snakes in a gutter, always ready to strike him from time to time.

Although he hasn't suffered any major losses so far, he still feels disgusted and resentful.

Now that Wen Tiaotiao's incident has come to light, the other party immediately wants to ask him to "let go" of Wen Tiaotiao by saying, "Let bygones be bygones."

The slightest disobedience or displeasure would cause him to immediately change his attitude. Ikeno felt that the other party might have overestimated his status and underestimated his current abilities.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

Ikeno didn't plan to stay any longer; as it turned out, favors were the hardest to repay.

This time, Zhang Qing didn't stop him again. He just stared coldly at Chi Ye's back until he disappeared. Then he picked up his phone and made a call: "The loss of 'Zhao Zhao Zi Qing' is huge, but now is not the time to hold people accountable. Now that the platform has lost this show, the year-end finale 'Chang Shou Ming Yue' will have to be brought up."

"But...didn't you say you were aiming for the top drama of the year...?"

The person on the other end frowned and hesitated.

"We cannot allow Ikeno to gain momentum."

Zhang Qing's face was gloomy: "I just met with him. If you let this kind of person gain power, we will all suffer."

"...No way, Lao Zhang."

The person on the other end chuckled: "Just a minor celebrity or small business owner, why are you so upset? Didn't you manage to keep him in check the last few times?"

"I see you guys keep praising this Ikeno Tadakatsu, it's really a bit obsessive. What's with all this talk about how powerful he is? We've messed with him so many times, but I've never seen him dare to fight us head-on. He always just hides in the back and acts like a coward."

"...This son of a bitch ruined Tiao Tiao's life."

Zhang Qing was extremely depressed: "She cried to me all night last night. What could I do? After all, we have a child together. Even if I don't see her, I have to think about the child."

"Alright, alright, I told you long ago that Wen Tiaotiao is not right in the head and that you should avoid her as much as possible, but you didn't listen. Now you see, you have to clean up her mess again."

His companion shook his head and joked, then decided not to take it seriously and opted to move up the ranking.

That's right, he's not an employee of Tencent Video, but he has a crucial influence on the platform.

He is a shareholder of several major film and television companies in the industry. Note that this is not just one, but several. He owns at least three or four of these companies, such as Huayi Brothers, and holds a significant number of shares in them.

Among them, due to his relationship with Zhang Qing, he has earned the most money on Tencent Video in recent years. No matter how bad his videos are, Tencent will buy them, which is like picking up money while lying down.

"The Long Moon" is the first project he organized himself. Before that, he had always appeared as a film and television investor.

So in a sense, "The Long Moon" can be considered his first time and also his "white moonlight". This drama is not a simple ancient romance, but a philosophical masterpiece full of ideas and profound connotations.

To this end, he spent a lot of money polishing the script, hiring more than a dozen top screenwriters in the industry to polish it. He also cast the biggest names in the industry. He did consider Ikeno, after all, Ikeno has been the biggest name actor in recent years.

But the result was naturally not very good.

Such a masterpiece, which holds special significance for him, should not be something he would change so easily. But on the other hand, he is confident that it will achieve good results no matter when it is broadcast, so he doesn't care.

In addition, Old Zhang was clearly really angry this time, so it's only right that he should teach Chi Ye a lesson.

Want the company to truly establish itself? Promote your own people?

Just think about it.

……

The earlier release date for "The Long Moon" is great and exciting news for both those inside and outside the industry.

Because this drama was touted as having a sky-high investment from the start of filming, and it also featured one of the most popular celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, Tencent's top artist, Xiao Zhan.

The female lead has been cast as an international film star.

With its star-studded cast, it has been widely regarded as the most likely blockbuster this year, second only to "Goblin".

Because of the cast, the show has attracted a lot of fans. So when Tencent Video announced that "The Long Moon" would be released earlier, it dominated the trending topics and overshadowed the originally popular Wen Tiaotiao.

Furthermore, everyone has their own understanding of this move by the penguin.

"The goose is really in a hurry."

"Hilarious! They're rushing to bring in the eldest prince to save the day when the second prince (Zhao Zhao Zi Qing) is about to die."

"Goose is really something else, but as a fan of Zhanzhan, I feel like I'm enveloped in happiness, like I'm bubbling over."

"Goose, you're too kind! Promoting the show on fixed screens before it even airs, huh? Trying to copy our 'great' 'Goblin' and kiwifruit?"

"It's hilarious. Fans of a certain show are still praising it. I really don't understand what's so great about a show that starts getting viewership and promotion months before it even airs. If another show received the same treatment, it would be just as popular."

"Learning how to cook kiwifruit is tough, but I've finally mastered it this time, and I'm very satisfied."

"Hurry up and bring it up. Long dramas are getting worse and worse lately, they're so boring."

"I'm really suffering from a drama drought. I was looking forward to 'Zhao Zhao Zi Qing,' but someone is really cunning, so I can only watch the better 'Chang Shou Ming Yue' instead."

The conflict between Chi Ye and Tencent Video is no secret. This is known not only to people in the industry, but also to outsiders, especially fans who are often in contact with the artists' teams.

Xiao Zhan's fans are among the most knowledgeable of them.

Their hatred for Ikeno and Ikeno's fans is absolutely indescribable.

Let's put it this way: in their hearts, without Chi Ye, Xiao Zhan's career development would definitely be the undisputed No. 1 in the Chinese entertainment industry, with endorsements and business deals galore, and a plethora of good scripts to choose from.

But because of Chi Ye's existence, this thirty-something-year-old old Bi Deng still refuses to step down. He can even make it to the trending topics with a fart, squeezing out his brother. It's really disgusting.

What kind of good person is an artist who openly dates while also profiting from their fans?
Despite Chi Ye's current popularity, within their fandom, she has long been categorized as someone to be avoided or considered a "pitfall."

This kind of idol is something that the fandom wouldn't even glance at, because it's no less than encountering a toxic element in a novel. To the fandom, the crimes committed by Ikeno are too numerous to count.

"The effect is quite good."

Zhang Qing was very satisfied with this scene. A top-tier drama should act like a top-tier drama. If the release date is being moved up, there should be some kind of commotion.

However, the reactions of Chi Ye and the production team of "Love O2O," who were the other "protagonists" in the incident, were somewhat disappointing—there was surprisingly little reaction from them.

This is really illogical. After all, everyone is waiting for Ikeno's reaction. It's like I've been jumping around you the whole time, but you don't even look at me. You could slap me, but how can you not even look at me?

The production team of "Love O2O" was completely baffled by this. They were surprised and delighted by the sudden influx of all sorts of mindless comments: "Did this overwhelming amount of popularity just fall into our laps like this?"

As for the claim that "The Long Moon Shines Brightly" was moved up in time to "target" "Love O2O," why hasn't Ikeno reacted...?

Nonsense, this play isn't even a work by Ikeno. Aside from having Ikeno's name attached, I really can't think of any other connection between them.

I can't figure out what the other side is so excited about.

　Sorry, it's a bit late today.
