Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

……

……

"Why is Da Bingbing here? Hasn't she been blacklisted yet?"

In the fan area outside the red carpet, someone lowered their voice, their tone full of surprise and confusion, their eyes fixed on that silver-white figure.

"What ban? Our Bingbing is innocent! Ahhh!! Bingbing is so beautiful!"

Immediately, fans retorted excitedly, raising their voices several decibels as they waved their light sticks, their eyes filled with fervent defense.

now,

Despite being at the center of a controversy, Bingbing still appeared at the Bazaar Charity Night in a radiant manner.

She wore a silver-white fishtail gown, the skirt flowing like water, outlining her graceful figure. Every step she took was composed and elegant, the hem of her skirt lightly sweeping across the red carpet, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light.

The rumors and speculations flying around seemed to have nothing to do with her; she remained the charismatic female star standing under the spotlight.

This calm and composure instantly gave the fans present a great deal of confidence, and their originally low spirits were ignited, with cheers rising and falling.

"Ni Ni! Ni Ni looks so cool today! Is it true that there are rumors online that she and Jing Boran are dating?"

In the crowd, someone pointed at Ni Ni, who was dressed in a sharp suit on the red carpet, and excitedly nudged their companion.

"The photos have already been leaked, how could they be fake?"

His companion immediately chimed in, his tone confident, his face beaming with the joy of having found real candy.

"There are so many real couples today! I think I saw Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin. They've officially gone public with their relationship, and they look so good together."

Someone else murmured in admiration, their gaze sweeping over the two people standing side by side not far away, their eyes filled with envy.

"Boring, so boring. I still miss Gu Qing and Liu Tianxian from last year. When the two of them were on screen together, the atmosphere was amazing, it was a visual feast."

Some people pursed their lips, their tone full of regret, and couldn't help but reminisce about the famous scene at last year's Bazaar Charity Night.

"Can Bazaar give an encore? I really want to see them together again, even just standing side by side would be great."

Those around immediately echoed, their tone full of anticipation, which drew nods from many people nearby.

The fans outside the venue reacted lukewarmly, lacking the expected excitement and fervor. Most of them were there for the top-tier celebrities, not for the second or third-tier stars.
Faced with the red carpet lineup, it's hard not to feel bored; people just mechanically wave their light sticks and occasionally let out a few sparse cheers.

However, with Deng Chao's appearance, a considerable commotion was finally stirred up at the scene.

"Brother Chao!! Ahhh!!"

Gu Qing's fans were the first to react, holding up banners with Gu Qing's name on them and cheering wildly, their voices penetrating the crowd and ringing out loudly.

As Deng Chao got out of the car, he clearly saw the group of fans holding up banners with Gu Qing's image and cheering him on, and a bright smile instantly spread across his face.
He waved vigorously at them, then pointed behind him and mouthed clearly, "My little brother is behind me."

"Really?! Really?! My little brother is coming?!"

The fans jumped up excitedly, their previously low spirits instantly ignited, they waved their light sticks even more vigorously, their eyes fixed on the entrance to the red carpet, full of anticipation.

As time ticked by, the red carpet show drew to a close, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense and exciting.

"Next—"

The host, Li Xiaofeng, suddenly raised his voice eight octaves, his tone filled with joy and excitement, even with an undisguised fan tendency, and his whole being exuded elation.

All the cameras instantly focused on the red carpet entrance. Reporters jostled each other, afraid of missing the best shooting angle. They raised their cameras and video cameras, focusing precisely. The air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the last guest to walk the red carpet tonight!"

Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions, and then spoke in a powerful voice that resonated throughout the entire venue.

"Gu Qing—!!!"

The moment the words fell,
"Ahhh!! My little brother is out!!"

"Gu Qing! Gu Qing!"

Screams, cheers, and applause instantly merged into a deafening roar that nearly lifted the roof off the stadium.

Outside the venue, fans jumped and waved light boards, their shouts echoing through the sky for a long time.

At the end of the red carpet, a black, extended sedan slowly came to a stop, its body lines sleek and elegant.

The car door slowly opened.

Amidst the uniform black suits and white shirts worn by male celebrities, Gu Qing's choices are always unexpected, consistently bringing fresh surprises.

He is one of the few male celebrities who can pull off vibrant colors.

Gu Qing wore a crimson stand-up collar long gown, a carefully modified Hanfu style that retained the charm of traditional clothing while conforming to modern aesthetics.

The fabric is made of the finest Song brocade, with a delicate and soft texture. The subtle patterns appear and disappear under the light, like a flowing landscape painting, with every inch exuding exquisiteness and sophistication.

A matching palace sash was tied around her waist. The sash was smooth and flowing, with a small, exquisite white jade safety buckle hanging from the end. The jade was warm and translucent, and it swayed gently as she walked, making a soft sound, which added to her elegance.

That crimson was neither the flamboyant and passionate bright red, nor the somber and oppressive dark red, but rather a hue between vermilion and rouge, like the last brilliant rays of sunset on the horizon.

It's like the most vibrant and fiery maple leaves in late autumn, bright yet elegant, gentle yet powerful.

This outfit accentuated his handsome features, making him appear refined and otherworldly.

The flashes went wild instantly.

The sound of camera shutters was so dense, like a torrential downpour, crackling and popping incessantly, almost forming a continuous sound. The viewers in the live stream felt as if their eyes were being blinded by the bright daylight of the spotlights.

The reporters had only one thought in their minds—they'd waited for the right person!

They frantically pressed the camera shutter, wishing they could fill the memory card with photos, their lenses closely following Gu Qing's figure, afraid of missing any subtle moment.

"Gu Qing! Look here! Over here!"

"Little brother! Over here! Look at the camera!"

The reporters shouted at the top of their lungs, almost screaming themselves hoarse, just to get Gu Qing to look at their cameras.

Faced with such enthusiastic reporters, Gu Qing felt embarrassed to quicken her pace. She could only stop and nod slightly to the cameras in all directions, revealing a gentle smile, and wave her hand gracefully.

That sense of relaxation and composure is simply too captivating.

There was no deliberate fawning or obsequiousness, nor any affected aloofness or arrogance; he simply stood there naturally, radiating his own light.

The chat in the live stream was completely insane, with dense text covering the entire screen, layer upon layer, making it impossible to read the specific content.

The screen was filled with excited screams and shouts from fans, and exclamation marks.

"Ahhhhh, this little brother is so handsome!! I'm going to die on the spot! His looks are just too amazing!"

"Who says the red carpet is only for female celebrities? This guy's look is absolutely divine, he looks amazing!!"

"Who took this picture?! Who took this picture?! The photographer deserves a bonus! The camera work is amazing, every frame is absolutely stunning!"

"I want to take screenshots! I want to use them as wallpapers! Every frame is amazing, I can't bear to delete them!"

"Looking for the same style! Link please! I know I can't wear it, but I still want to own it!"

How loud were the fans' screams?
The many artists inside the venue were chatting in small groups, enjoying a relaxed atmosphere, but they were startled by the deafening screams coming from outside. They all stopped talking and looked surprised.

Everyone looked at each other, and without much thought, they knew that it was Gu Qing who had arrived. Only he could cause such a sensation.

Sister Zhao's heart skipped a beat, her relaxed body suddenly stiffened, and she stood up abruptly, supporting herself on the table with both hands, slightly tiptoeing, and looking up at the entrance.

She thought her slightly out-of-character behavior would attract strange looks from those around her, making her feel somewhat embarrassed.

But the next second,
Zhao Liying then realized that she had been too low-key.

"Gu Qing? Is Gu Qing here?"

Surprisingly, many people—including many influential figures in the fashion industry who control industry resources—left their seats and headed towards the entrance.

"Hey, hey, I can't see."

Zhao Liying was so anxious that she kept standing on tiptoe, but her petite figure was still only visible as a dark mass of heads among the tall and strong crowd.

"Alright, alright, Liying, you should rest now."

Seeing her like this, Li Binbin couldn't help but laugh and rub his forehead. Especially noticing the amused looks from the other celebrities at the table, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly reached out to pull Zhao Liying back to her seat.

"With so many people around, how could your brother have time to come looking for you? After the banquet, invite him out for dinner so you can catch up, right?"

"All right……"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liying looked at the still bustling activity at the entrance and felt a strange sense of inferiority. She obediently sat back down, but couldn't help turning her body to the side, glancing at the entrance from time to time.

She really hadn't seen Gu Qing for a long time. Ever since they parted ways on set, they had been busy with their own work, and the longing in her heart had quietly grown. Now it was overflowing, all written on her round, chubby face.

Gu Qing walked slowly into the venue. His unique crimson robe, paired with his handsome face, amazed everyone present. The people around him exclaimed in amazement, their eyes following his figure closely.

Before Gu Qing could react, a burst of enthusiastic and continuous cries of "little brother" came rushing towards him, instantly enveloping him and making him feel dizzy.

"Little brother, it's been so long! So long!"

"Come, come, little brother, sit here, this is a good spot."

Even Su Mang from Bazaar came over quickly to greet him, her face beaming with smiles. She took Gu Qing's arm and introduced him enthusiastically: "This is our Bazaar's account manager XX, general manager XX, and this famous fashion designer. They are all your loyal fans. They were so excited to know you were here, little brother. They've been looking forward to seeing you."

Before Gu Qing could even react, she was surrounded by a group of fashionistas dressed in outlandish outfits.

This person shook hands, that person wanted to take a photo; the scene was so lively it was almost crowded.

"See that? That's what you call a top star! The moment the younger brother walked in, almost the entire audience stood up!"

"Haha, my little brother is so popular, he's the center of attention wherever he goes."

"But I'm a little annoyed. Why is Su Mang smiling like a madam? Can you let go of my brother? It's disgusting to look at!"

The live broadcast footage was particularly interesting.

When Gu Qing shook hands with someone, she clearly wanted to pull her hand away from the one that Su Mang was holding tightly, but she had only pulled halfway when Su Mang forcibly pulled it back.

To avoid an awkward situation, he could only force a gentle smile and shake hands with the person using his other hand.

During the group photo, Su Mang clung tightly to Gu Qing, insisting on squeezing into the frame. When introducing people, she spoke exceptionally loudly, as if afraid others wouldn't know how close she was to Gu Qing. The scene was rather unseemly.

Seeing this, Gu Jia's fans were furious and kept spamming the live stream with complaints, their words full of dissatisfaction and defense.

After finally getting through the thick wall of people, Gu Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief. Her eyes subconsciously scanned the crowd, her brows furrowed as if she were searching for something, and her pace slowed down involuntarily.

"Who is the younger brother looking for?" The live stream chat was instantly flooded with question marks, everyone was very curious.

"Oh my, little brother, you've finally arrived."

A high-pitched, effeminate voice suddenly rang out, carrying a deliberate obsequious tone, instantly blocking Gu Qing's path.

Most of the celebrities present tonight, even if they were excited, simply sat in their seats and turned to look at Gu Qing, or waved to him from afar, maintaining basic decorum and not rushing to leave their seats to curry favor.

But tonight, only one person, disregarding everyone's gaze, stood up from his seat, squeezed through the crowd, and rushed towards Gu Qing with a big smile on his face.

That is—Zhang Dada.

He wore a brightly colored suit, the garish colors of which clashed with his short stature.

Her face was painted snow-white, with thick foundation, and she looked bloodless, like a paper doll. When she smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were particularly obvious, making her look extremely incongruous.

Upon seeing Zhang Dada in this state, Gu Qing couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back. For the first time, she wished that her memory wasn't so good, as all sorts of images of this person instantly flooded her mind.

Zhang Dada is so eager to become famous, and he's too good at riding the wave of popularity.

Zhang Dada rose to fame by crying on "I Am a Singer," but was also bluntly ridiculed by music critics, becoming a veritable buffoon in the eyes of the audience. It was precisely because of this that Chen Sicheng made a controversial decision to invite Zhang Dada to make a cameo appearance as a transgender waitress in "Detective Chinatown 1."

Zhang Dada's natural acting skills brought the character to life, making it seem as if the role was tailor-made for him, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

But it is precisely because of this cameo role that
After the release of "Detective Chinatown 1" and its subsequent popularity, Zhang Dada began to frantically try to ride on the coattails of the film crew, managing to get attention from everyone in the crew.

When interviewed by reporters, he boasted that he was a close friend of every actor in the crew, even though he had only made a cameo appearance in the film for two or three days. He went on and on, his words full of pride.

In subsequent variety shows, he displayed an arrogant and smug attitude, looking down on ordinary people and disrespecting his peers. His words and actions had an extremely negative impact, provoking strong resentment from the audience.

"Little brother~ When will Detective Chinatown 2 start filming? Did you reserve a role for me? I'll definitely act for free and promise to give a great performance."

Zhang Dada, with her delicate fingers, winked at Gu Qing and spoke in a coquettish tone that made Gu Qing feel uncomfortable.

The strong, pungent scent of his perfume hit Gu Qing, making her frown and forcefully suppress her discomfort.
Even Su Mang, who was standing to the side, was disgusted. His old face scrunched up, his eyes filled with disgust. He almost couldn't help but curse, but he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Firstly, he has a powerful background and a considerable network of connections.

Secondly, some people in the fashion industry have unique tastes and particularly appreciate his "alternative" style;

In addition, he is extremely obsequious and willing to put aside his pride to praise a group of top female celebrities to the skies, thus becoming a member of the female celebrities' "girlfriends group".

It's worth mentioning that Zhang Dada has two close female friends whom she considers to be the best.

One of them was Yang Ying, who was facing away from Gu Qing, looking down at her phone, her fingers swiping the screen aimlessly, seemingly focused but actually absent-minded.

another,
Yang Mi, who was busy filming on set, was unable to attend the social event.

"When filming will start depends on Brother Sicheng's arrangements, I'm not too sure either."

Gu Qing was overwhelmed by the strong perfume on Zhang Dada. She forced a polite smile, gave a brief reply, and tried to turn away.

"Hey little brother, I heard you and Mimi are working together on a new movie? Why isn't Mimi here today? Is she not feeling well?"

Zhang Dada, shameless as ever, stepped forward again, blocking Gu Qing's path once more, showering her with concern and asking questions incessantly, his tone full of deliberate care.

"Sister Mi is filming on set and has a tight schedule, so it's inconvenient for her to leave."

Gu Qing quickly scanned her surroundings, turned aside, held her breath, and pursed her lips, wanting nothing more than to get rid of the person in front of her as soon as possible.

"Little brother, don't be in such a hurry. Can I visit you and Mimi on set in a few days? Who knows, I might even get a small cameo role, and then we can work together again."

Zhang Dada once again intervened, eagerly reaching out to tug at Gu Qing's sleeve with a fawning manner.

"Sorry, Mr. DaDa, I have something to attend to. Let's talk about it later."

Gu Qing could no longer contain herself, and even her usually excellent composure crumbled, a barely perceptible hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.

He flicked his sleeve sharply, the movement swift and decisive, ignoring Su Mang beside him, and strode past the two of them, heading quickly toward the tables inside the venue.

The force of the swing was considerable. Zhang Dada, who was already short and slender, staggered several times from the force and stood awkwardly frozen in place, his outstretched hand still hanging in mid-air. The smile on his face froze instantly, making the scene quite comical.

A chorus of suppressed laughter erupted from the audience, with many people unable to resist looking down and chuckling.

"Hahaha, awesome!! Little brother, don't give him face! Well done!"

"That Zhang Dada is disgusting. What's the meaning of him blocking his brother from leaving? It's never going to end."

"If you're going to try to ride the wave of popularity, can you at least do it at a charity gala? Don't you even consider the occasion? You have no sense of propriety."

The fans in the live stream applauded and cheered when they saw this, filling the screen with applause.

Even the haters who always disliked Gu Qing couldn't help but applaud when they saw Gu Qing's decisive actions towards Zhang Dada.

Zhang Dada is such a strange person; with his words and actions, he has aroused public outrage and has absolutely no popularity among casual viewers.

"Little brother~ It's been a long time."

As Gu Qing walked further in, she encountered many familiar celebrities along the way, who all waved and greeted her warmly and kindly.

Most of these people are acquaintances.

From Zhang Binbin to Yang Mi's three best friends whom she met while filming "Tiny Times," they all greeted him with smiles.

In particular, Xie Yilin, who had worked with him on Running Man, possessed the lively and entertaining personality typical of Taiwanese celebrities. He excitedly screamed like a little fan, "Xiao Nai, I love you—"

Her straightforward and funny behavior, unlike Zhang Dada's exaggerated and offensive actions, actually made everyone around her laugh, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Despite the warm greetings from everyone, Gu Qing didn't stop walking. He simply put his hands together, bowed slightly to the crowd, and apologized for his haste. Then he quickened his pace and continued walking inside.

In the beginning,
The minor celebrities who greeted Gu Qing on the periphery thought that Gu Qing was unwilling to stay because they were too low-profile.

But they soon noticed that as Gu Qing walked by, many top-tier celebrities stood up to greet him.
Even the glamorous Bingbing and veteran diva Liu Jialing, as well as the highly respected director Feng Xiaogang, smiled and gestured to him.

But Gu Qing did not stop. He still clasped his hands apologetically and walked straight to the innermost table.

Such a rapid pace is actually not elegant, and even seems somewhat reckless.

But with Gu Qing's stunning good looks and the striking crimson robe he wore, every movement he made exuded beauty.

Instead, he gained more understanding and appreciation from people, who all felt that he must have something urgent to do to be in such a hurry.

This made the artists present even more curious about where he was going.
The camera in the live stream followed Gu Qing closely from the very beginning, never stopping and tracking her throughout the entire process.

until--

Yang Ying, who was sitting at table A4, heard Deng Chao's enthusiastic voice from table A3 next to her: "Little brother, who are you looking for? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she swiped her phone screen, her breathing became erratic, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

Strands of hair gently slipped down her delicate, downturned face, concealing a barely perceptible hint of panic.

An incredible thought quietly appeared in her mind:
He...could he be here to see me?

Sitting on the outside, Yang Ying couldn't help but quietly lift her fair face. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced slightly to the left and could clearly see a tall and slender figure walking briskly towards her.

Her position was very clever; she sat on the outermost side, her snow-white back facing the direction Gu Qing was coming from.

Beside her, Huang Xiaoming, to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, smiled and looked at Gu Qing as she approached. He had initially intended to wave to her, demonstrating his magnanimity and friendliness—

But I never expected it.

"call--"

Yang Ying's fair back suddenly felt a cool breeze gently brushing against her.

Gu Qing is gone.

He walked quickly, without stopping, and as he passed behind her, a cool breeze swept through him.

The wind gently brushed against her bare shoulder blades, like a soft feather brushing against her, carrying a faint chill before quickly dissipating.

There was no stopping.

There was no turning back.

There was no eye contact, no greeting, not even a glance from the corner of her eye, as she had imagined.

Yang Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the phone screen until her knuckles turned slightly white, before she slowly loosened her grip.

She lowered her eyes and continued looking at her phone, but she couldn't concentrate on a single word on the screen.

A moment later,
Yang Ying heard a sweet, heartfelt laugh coming from the right side of table A5, filled with surprise and shyness.

"younger brother……"

Seeing Gu Qing stride quickly towards her, Zhao Liying's previously blank mind instantly went blank, and her breathing became rapid with nervousness. Until their eyes met in mid-air, she instantly understood the message in his eyes—

Gu Qing... came to see me?!
In that instant, Zhao Liying's mind went completely blank, and all her thoughts came to a standstill.

She watched as the figure in the crimson gown walked briskly through the noisy banquet hall, bypassing countless people who tried to strike up a conversation or exchange pleasantries with him, heading straight towards her.

Gu Qing walked quickly, her clothes swaying gently with each step, and the white jade safety buckle at her waist swayed softly, making a faint sound.

"younger brother……"

Sister Zhao's voice was so soft it sounded like a dream, tinged with disbelief.

Next second,
The crimson sleeves gently brushed against her shoulders, carrying a faint, clean, and pleasant scent of soap.

Gu Qing gently wrapped his arms around her back, the pressure just right—neither offensive nor perfunctory, but full of reassurance.

His chin rested gently on the top of her head, his breath warm and steady, falling on her hair.

Only a gentle voice reached my ears, carrying a sense of relief that I had finally arrived at my destination:
"Found you..."

In an instant,
Sister Zhao blushed deeply, her body went limp, and she pressed her cheek against Gu Qing's shoulder.

All eyes in the room were drawn to this scene, and the entire place fell silent for a moment.

The male celebrities' relief and admiration, and the female celebrities' envy and jealousy, reveal a wide range of human emotions.

The live stream chat was completely exploding, with dense text flooding the screen, making it impossible to read the content. It was filled with the excited screams and exclamations of the fans.

"Aaaaaaah!! I hugged him!! I hugged him!! I didn't see that right, did I?!"

"Gu Qing came specifically to find Ying Bao!! He walked through the entire banquet hall just to find her!!"

"I'm dead! I'm dead! I'm dead! What an amazing plot! It's so addictive!"

"It took him a full three minutes to walk from the red carpet to the A5 table! Three minutes! Just to find her!"

"Sister Zhao's expression! She never expected this! She thought Gu Qing was here to see someone else! She was so pleasantly surprised!"

"Is this what mutual support is?! Is this what mutual support is?! I'm totally dizzy!"

"Call an ambulance quickly, I need emergency medical assistance!"

The barrage of comments was dense and layered, filled with screams and exclamation marks, causing the live stream to freeze instantly.

The hug was brief, seemingly lasting only a moment before quietly ending.

Subsequently,

Gu Qing turned to Li Binbin and Huo Jianhua at the table, her voice filled with surprise and delight: "Sister Bingbing, Brother Hua! Long time no see!"

He also gave the two a brief hug and a handshake, saying in a lighthearted tone, "I'll be right back, I'll be right back, I'll go say hello to everyone first."

finished,

He quickly turned around and hurried back the way he came.

"Binbin, Sister Yilin, I'm so sorry, I was in such a hurry just now."

Gu Qing returned to the first table and greeted the artists who had greeted him earlier but whom he had only briefly passed by. He was sincere and humble in his attitude.

His movements were natural and fluid, and his tone was sincere and earnest, as if the "trek" he had just made across the entire banquet hall was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

Zhao Liying remained standing there, staring blankly at Gu Qing's departing figure. She remained stunned for several seconds before slowly coming back to her senses and gently sitting back down in her chair.

Her round, chubby face turned an unbelievable shade of red.

Sister Zhao covered her face with her hands, then quietly lowered them after a few seconds, only to cover her face again, repeating this several times…

I'm completely overloaded.
