This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Chapter 111 A Sensation! Half of the Chinese entertainment industry is helping promote my drama! We're ecstatic! [Seeking monthly votes]

Simultaneously.

Teacher Huang, Wu Qian, and Li Changfeng, these three "old friends" who hate Lü Ming to the bone, all had different thoughts when they learned that Lü Ming's new drama had been officially announced and scheduled for release.

"This bastard has absolutely no acting skills. He just relies on his money to gather a bunch of nobodies and produce a piece of shoddy garbage, and he even got top-tier recommendations from iQiyi..." Li Changfeng said sourly, "Why?!"

He has acted in three TV series produced by Kiwi in the past, but each time the results were unsatisfactory. Li Changfeng never felt that it was his fault, but rather that the cast was not attractive enough and the platform was unwilling to give him more promotional resources, which led to his failure.

But now, the resource he once dreamed of, and never even dared to imagine, kiwifruit, has been completely wasted?
After repeatedly refreshing the kiwi fruit recommendation page, Li Changfeng felt a pang of envy when he saw that the number of reservations had reached over ten million. He even scratched his head involuntarily.

"With this exposure and these pre-orders, even if the show is a complete pile of crap, the premiere's popularity will definitely skyrocket. If I had these kinds of resources in the past, I would have been a star by now!"

Thinking of this, he became like a starving wolf, his eyes gleaming red, and he was so jealous that his cell walls split apart.

……

"No way, doesn't Kiwi know about Sihuka's reputation? His acting is worse than mine. The fact that his web series got released on Kiwi is already a testament to his connections. And this damn Kiwi is even giving him top-tier recommendation resources. Does this platform not want to stay in business?"

"Sima, this washed-up celebrity, is always trying to attract attention and grab eyeballs. Has he really managed to become a resource-backed celebrity?!"

"Is there any fairness left in the Chinese entertainment industry?!"

"I don't agree!"

In a VIP ward at a New York City hospital, Wu Qian stared at the news on his phone, seething with anger. He muttered to himself in frustration, slamming his fist against the small plastic table in front of him, revealing his deep displeasure.

The nurse guarding the door was terrified by the scene, fearing that Wu Qian's emotional outburst would cause his wound to bleed again. She quickly called Wu Qian's assistant, who had been accompanying Wu Qian at the hospital but had left half an hour earlier to go out for dinner.

Upon learning over the phone that something had happened to their steamer again, the assistant rushed back without even having time to eat. Seeing Wu Qian's flushed face and signs of losing control of his anger, he quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Brother Qian, calm down..."

"Calm down? How the hell can I calm down? Don't you know that this flop's new drama has been officially announced? Ten million additional viewers are watching! With such high popularity, if he takes advantage of this hype to make a fortune from a terrible drama, that would be worse than killing me!" Wu Qian cursed angrily.

"If he actually succeeds, I can't even imagine how that bastard will act all cocky in front of me!"

As if recalling that scene, Wu Qian's face flushed even more, his brows furrowed with anger.

The assistant was completely bewildered, clearly unaware of what was happening online. She first comforted Wu Qian, then took out her phone. After learning the whole story, the assistant was not angry, but rather delighted.

"Brother Qian, we're doomed!"

"He brought this on himself. Who announces a release date just three days after filming wraps up? He's obviously trying to ride the coattails of You Han's hit drama. He's digging his own grave!"

"With his acting skills, you can rest assured. The television industry is no longer the era of easy money. Audiences have grown up and their tastes are more discerning than those of us in the industry. In other words, the television industry has now completely entered an era where strength speaks for itself. If the quality of a work is not up to par, the audience will criticize it mercilessly!"

"And You Han won't miss this golden opportunity, after all, he also..."

"Ahem, anyway, You Han will definitely bombard us!"

"Most importantly, there are also Actor Huang and TV King Hong. This washed-up actor offended these two big shots a while ago. Now he's trying to make money in their territory. I'm sure Actor Huang and TV King Hong won't let this washed-up actor get away with it!"

"Given their status in the film and television industry, if they were to raise their voices, even a washed-up actor might be torn to shreds in less than three days!"

"So you don't need to be angry at all; on the contrary, you should be happy!"

Hearing his assistant's confident analysis, Wu Qian, who was already furious, suddenly paused.

That seems to be the case!

He quickly cooled down after being overwhelmed by the moment. The next second, a notification popped up on his phone that he had been notified of a news update. He clicked on it and went to You Han's homepage, where You Han had already posted a long essay of a thousand words criticizing Hu Ka.

Although the rhetoric was no different from before—he and Li Changfeng had published countless similar scathing statements—this time, You Han was focusing his criticism on Lü Ming's acting skills. The comments section was already filled with a barrage of insults, clearly indicating that this time, the accusation was "justified" and was more well-received by netizens.

After all, saying that a washed-up celebrity has no talent in music or is less attractive than someone in the Chinese entertainment industry is just baseless slander. But if you say that a washed-up celebrity has no acting skills, even fans won't argue with that, because short video platforms are full of compilations of their idols, and the nameplate really can't save face.

In this situation, the online sentiment is almost unanimously in favor of the government!
"Hahahaha!"

"You washed-up guy, if you had just stayed focused on developing your career in the music industry and variety shows, I really couldn't do anything about you. But you've ruined your own career, and no one can save you now!"

Wu Qian burst into laughter. In this short period of time, his emotions had been like a rollercoaster ride. Because of his excitement, his face was even redder than before.

Wu Qian reposted You Han's short essay, adding the caption: "Like a washed-up celebrity, get out of the entertainment industry, get out of the Chinese entertainment circle!"

"Brother Qian, Actor Huang has made a move!" Seeing his idol happy, the assistant didn't care much about his current situation and excitedly said, "Actor Huang's fans have already rallied, and the sentiment is completely one-sided!"

When Wu Qian clicked in, he indeed saw that Huang Yingdi had posted a critical review of the acting skills of the obscure actor.

Between the lines, there is a strong sense of disdain for the new generation of actors and disgust for the "traffic culture." From criticizing Lü Ming for being "malicious" to saying that if the entertainment industry allows this trend to continue, the film and television industry will eventually turn back the clock.

His skill in reaching great heights was clearly far superior to that of Li Changfeng and Wu Qian.

This manifesto resonated with countless fans.

If someone says that the music scene is turning back the clock, then fans will be overjoyed.

After all, the Chinese music scene is completely ruined now.

But if the film and television industry were to turn back the clock, that would be a real disaster!

After all, the film and television industry is thriving now, with more and more good works. It's not that the works of the past were bad. If we only talk about the works of the film industry, whether it's Stephen Chow or the works of Lao Mou, they can be considered the benchmarks of the times.

However, from a macro perspective, the quality of films produced in the past is clearly not as good as it is now.

As for the field of vision...

If viewers were to revisit the love story between Chu Yuxun and Murong Yunhai, they would absolutely be cringing to death in front of their screens.

Therefore, at the urging of Huang Yingdi, netizens began to boycott Lü Ming, boycott his money-grabbing sloppy works for the sake of gaining traffic, and boycott unhealthy trends!

Wu Qian didn't know how the other guys felt, but he was really excited to see the flop suffer.

"Yes, everyone, curse that bastard to death! That's exactly how you should curse him!"

"When he was making enemies all over the Chinese entertainment industry, did he ever imagine that he would end up like this?"

"This is awesome! Go buy me a bottle of vodka, I want to drink my fill to celebrate this historic moment!"

Wu Qian's face was flushed, and his tone was excited. His assistant was completely bewildered. "Brother, you're a patient, and you recently had internal bleeding from your post-operative wound. Now you're going to drink in the hospital again?"

Just as he was about to refuse, Wu Qian stood up from the hospital bed out of excitement. Perhaps it was because he was too bored in the ward every day, or perhaps it was because he was too excited.

When people are overly happy, they unconsciously want to do some physical actions to release it.

Wu Qian did just that. He stood on his hospital bed and leaped, trying to jump from his own bed to another one. But due to a miscalculation, he was still a bit short of the other bed, and his feet only touched the edge. Then he leaned straight back.

Boom! ! !
The dull thud of the back of his head hitting the floor made the assistant's expression change drastically.

He stood up, trembling all over, only to find that Qianbao's eyes were wide open, and after twitching twice on the ground, her neck tilted to the side and she fainted!
"Brother Qian, are you... alright...?"

"Brother Qian, don't scare me! Oh my god, blood, it's blood!" The assistant cried out in panic as he looked at the blood spilling on the floor, "Something's wrong! Someone help! The patient has fallen and is bleeding!!"

Soon, the ward was in complete chaos.

……

After You Han and Huang Yingdi started their feud, and as the controversy grew and the internet was abuzz with discussion, Hong Lei, who had been holding back his malice for a long time, also made his move.

In the afternoon, he published a thought-provoking short essay.

"Thanks to the influx of capital, the television industry now produces as many as two hundred TV series every year. Compared to the past, the film and television resources have expanded more than tenfold!"

"Logically speaking, this gives more actors more film contracts. The original intention was to give those unknown actors a chance to shine, which is a good thing."

"But in fact, this is not a good thing!"

"Why? Before answering this question, let me give you a summary first."

“In the past, out of ten dramas produced each year, seven were masterpieces that people could talk about with great interest!”

"Now there are 200 dramas every year. Logically speaking, even if there are not 100, there should be dozens of works that are recognized by the audience. But in reality, with so many works, very few are truly recognized by the audience and become popular. On average, there are less than 12 per year."

"Many people think that it's because internet companies control the market, but that's not the case."

"What I'm about to say might affect many people's livelihoods, and I might even be isolated from the industry because I offend my peers. But I just can't stand by and watch the video industry develop into this mess!"

"The reason for all of this is..."

“In the past, resources were scarce. A drama had to be meticulous in the casting stage alone. Anyone with poor acting skills or a poor understanding of the character would be eliminated. In such a harsh environment, those artists with bad records had no chance to get ahead!”

"But now the Chinese entertainment industry is no longer short of resources and projects. Those artists with bad records who lack talent can openly get roles through connections. This is what people often jokingly call 'resource-backed artists'."

"The current state of the Chinese entertainment industry is a murky mess, rife with resource-driven celebrities!"

"With connections, they can easily squeeze out talented but unappreciated grassroots actors, and these actors have nowhere to complain. In the end, they can only leave the industry in frustration. In the current era of fan culture, some resource-backed actors can even replace the roles of first-tier actors without anyone noticing. That's right, even I had my role taken away by a resource-backed actor and could only suffer in silence."

"I thought that using connections to snatch roles and blocking the upward path of lower-level actors was the limit of this group, but I never expected that some resource-backed actors would be so outrageous that even the platform would disregard reputation and user experience, and forcibly carry out overwhelming publicity for them!"

"The current entertainment industry belongs to those with connections and resources!"

"Veteran actors are crying in the corner, while those with connections are partying in front of the camera."

"This is a tragedy of our times!"

"Given this chaotic state of the industry, I know that if I don't stand up for my bullied colleagues, the video industry may be completely finished before long!"

"Boycott bad dramas, boycott actors with connections, and restore a bright and clean environment to the television industry!"

"This is not just for me personally, but to prevent every viewer from being poisoned by poorly made and shoddy dramas!"

Huang Yingdi is openly criticizing and retaliating against Lü Ming.

But Hong Lei's short essay is quite good.

He wasn't that aggressive, and he even risked getting involved himself, claiming that exposing industry secrets would affect many people's interests. But in reality, as a top TV actor, whose interests would be affected if he exposed some 'insider information' that was already known to netizens?

It's just a pretext for marketing to fans and increasing goodwill among casual observers.

When the TV King publicly spoke out to expose the industry's inside story, he naturally garnered support from fans immediately. At the same time, he also placed all the blame for the chaotic situation of resource-rich actors in the TV industry on Lü Ming. This combination of actions directly pushed Lü Ming into the eye of the storm.

Even some uninformed passersby would think that Lü Ming had done something outrageous.

After all, in this era that values ​​spiritual enjoyment, who doesn't watch a couple of episodes of a TV series when they have nothing else to do?

If veteran actors are suppressed and talented actors are ostracized, and the television industry is filled with young idols and pretty girls using cringeworthy acting skills to perform love stories, misunderstandings, and trashy soap operas, what a terrible situation that would be.
Just thinking about it sends chills down the spines of the audience!

Ever since.

Fans were outraged and immediately joined forces to condemn Lü Ming's misdeeds from every angle in the comments section. Bystanders were also furious and joined in the condemnation of the washed-up celebrity's crimes.

This massive commotion caused Weibo to crash for up to three minutes!
After Weibo officials quickly fixed the issue, netizens launched an even more intense attack on him.

Lu Ming has almost become a public enemy. From the top 1 to the top 20 trending topics, all of them are related to him. This time, even neutral headlines are few and far between, with most of them accusing him.

"Baby, are you alright?" Reba found Lü Ming and looked at him with concern.

The voices online terrified her, turning her face pale.

"Of course it's great, better than ever before!" Lu Ming gently pinched Dilraba's slightly chubby cheeks: "You can start preparing for your promotion. If you don't go to the selection of the Four Little Actresses this year, no one will dare to take a seat."

Dilraba playfully scolded, "What time is it? You still have the mind to joke around."

She was worried about Lü Ming, but seeing that her man hadn't lost his composure because of the online uproar, she looked relieved.

This guy has an incredibly high level of mental fortitude!
"I'm not kidding, you really can prepare to upgrade your status. The more they make a fuss now, the happier I am. Anyway, when the premiere airs, all these negative influences will backfire on them. Are they criticizing me? They're paving the way for me. Looking back at the history of the Chinese entertainment industry, has there ever been such a grand occasion?"

"Most of the entertainment industry is helping me promote my drama, I'm so happy!"

Dilraba was stunned, somewhat unable to follow Lü Ming's train of thought.

However, let's examine this from his perspective.

It seems that's really the case!
