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

"Hey bro, got another project coming up?"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's answer, Gangzi quickly asked Lü Ming a question.

Having tasted success, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune.

"I do have an idea!"

After hearing Gangzi's question, Lü Ming briefly explained the copy of "Ghost Blows Out the Light - The Ancient City of Jingjue" that he had in his hand.

Upon hearing Lü Ming's account, Gangzi immediately became anxious.

Others may not know this yet, but surely Gangzi knows that the popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" proves Lü Ming's creative ability.

Therefore, even before seeing the script for "Ghost Blows Out the Light - The Ancient City of Jingjue", Gangzi had already predicted that the script would definitely be good and might even be another hit.

If penguins were to poach it, that would be a disaster!

For these video platforms, the effectiveness of a hit work can be clearly seen from the recent example of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

Originally at a disadvantage in the competition, kiwifruit has made rapid progress recently due to the hit drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer". It has even made the penguin look up. Although it has not yet reached the point of being able to dethrone the penguin, it has made kiwifruit firmly establish itself and greatly increased its market share.

Gangzi was even thinking about deepening his cooperation with Lü Ming during this period, hoping to bring down Tencent.

If Tencent poachs Lü Min, wouldn't all the things he's been thinking about lately have been for nothing?

Thinking of this, Gangzi's face showed obvious impatience, and he quickly said to Lü Ming, "Brother, no matter what conditions Tencent offers, we at Kiwi will agree! We've been cooperating for so long, anything is negotiable!"

Gangzi wasn't someone who had lost his mind; he clearly understood the gap between their kiwifruit and Tencent Video.

Despite the recent surge in popularity of kiwifruit, it seems poised to dethrone Tencent Video from its leading position.

But Gangzi, the CEO of the kiwifruit company, knew that it was just a facade of vanity.

Even with the immense popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," this one series alone cannot bridge the gap between them.

As things stand, Tencent Video remains the leading video platform. In terms of both money and resources, Tencent far surpasses Kiwi.

So after promising that they wouldn't offer a lower price for kiwifruit than Penguin, Gangzi also took the opportunity to appeal to Lü Ming's emotions.

"I know!"

After hearing Gangzi's words, Lü Ming nodded.

Lu Ming had a very good impression of Gangzi, after all, Gangzi had provided considerable support to Lu Ming, not to mention that Gangzi was one of the investors in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", and their previous cooperation had been very pleasant.

However, Lü Ming also knew that things were different now than before.

Feelings are feelings, and relationships are relationships.

However, Lu Ming did not agree to such a big investment. Instead, he told Gangzi that they should find a time to talk about it in person.

For the next period of time, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" continued its powerful momentum, sweeping across the entire film and television industry. In the face of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", all kinds of records were as fragile as paper and were easily pierced.

Even "Boss & Me," which was everyone's only hope, was like a weak child in front of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," and was instantly defeated.

Although Zhang Xianzong, played by Lü Ming, was not the main character in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," the role was so outstanding that Lü Ming's acting skills stole the spotlight from the main characters.

With the continued airing of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", no one questions Lü Ming's acting skills anymore.

Even Zhang Yimou, in an interview, talked about Lü Ming's acting skills, believing that Lü Ming's acting skills are definitely among the best of the younger generation, and even some veteran actors cannot compare to him.

Even at the end of the interview, Zhang Yimou mentioned his desire to collaborate with Lü Ming.

Seeing this situation, almost everyone knew that Lü Ming's power was now secured.

If there were any concerns before, such as the project starting strong but ending weakly, or the potential backlash from public opinion, then now there are no concerns at all.

With this level of popularity and traffic, anyone who can invite Lü Ming right now is practically making money with their eyes closed.

Just as everyone was eager to contact Lü Ming, a rumor suddenly exploded throughout the circle.

[Tencent Video and iQiyi are vying for Lu Ming's new project!]

When this news came out, the entire industry was in an uproar.

Viewers outside the industry may only focus on the plot of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", Lü Ming's acting skills and some CP gossip, but people inside the industry have already dug up the main creative team and some inside stories after "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" became a hit.

In the eyes of those viewers, perhaps they only saw Lü Ming's acting skills and his perfect appearance.

However, they clearly saw Lü Ming's almost superhuman creative ability.

In their view, the reason why "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" became a hit was not only because of Lü Ming's acting skills and the traffic he brought, but more importantly because the story of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" created by Lü Ming was very good, which attracted viewers to watch it.

Otherwise, relying solely on gimmicks wouldn't be enough to maintain the current level of popularity.

So when people heard that Lü Ming had a new work, the whole industry was in an uproar.

Some investors, in particular, were practically waving their checks around, eager to pay Lu Ming for an investment opportunity.

If this had happened before "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" aired, even if Lü Ming had begged these investors, they would have refused without hesitation, and even if they had agreed, they would have attached many conditions.

After all, at the time, almost everyone thought that the 40 million yuan investment in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" would be a complete loss.

However, the current situation tells everyone that the 40 million investment was a huge success.

Given the current popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," Lü Ming's 40 million yuan investment has almost increased tenfold.

Moreover, this is just the direct income. Considering the subsequent copyright income and various derivative income, it can be said that one show like "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" could support a film and television company for more than ten years.

Not to mention, for many people, money is not important.

Especially for some giant companies that want to enter the film and television industry, they don't really care about income; what they care about is this opportunity.

Once they can get in touch with Lü Ming, they can easily break into the film and television industry.

So when this news broke, everyone frantically tried to connect with Lü Ming and get an investment opportunity for him.

"Holy crap, this guy!"

When Sister Mi learned of this news from some people in the industry, she was equally shocked and immediately called Dilraba to inquire about the matter.

You know, during this period, with the continued popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", apart from the happy look on Dilraba's face when she became popular, Sister Mi often sighed with resentment, and regretted that she had not invested in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer".

Although Sister Mi saw the potential of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" and spoke up about it, she didn't pay much attention to it at the time. If she had known that "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" would become such a hit, she would have gotten involved no matter how much Lü Ming refused.

After all, such a lucrative opportunity had once been right in front of her, but she failed to seize it.

Every time I see the popularity of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" rise to a new level, I feel my heart aches a little more.

"what?"

When Dilraba was out running around doing promotional activities, she received a call from her boss and looked puzzled, not knowing what Honey Sister meant.

Didn't your man tell you he has a new work?

Honey quickly forwarded the message to Dilraba and asked her anxiously.

"I don't know, I've never asked him any of these things!"

Reba looked at the message that Sister Honey had forwarded and replied calmly, as if she didn't take it to heart.

"You!"

Honey shook her head, then told Reba the purpose of her call, asking her to ask Lü Ming if the news was true.

"All right!"

Faced with Sister Mi's request on the other end of the phone, Reba really couldn't refuse, so she sent a message to Lü Ming.

[Gummy Bear: They say you're making a new movie, is that true?]

Lu Ming was discussing investment matters related to "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" with Gangzi when he received a message from Reba. After briefly telling Gangzi, he left the meeting room of Kiwi and made a phone call to Reba.

"How did you know?"

Lu Ming was a little curious about how Dilraba knew about it, since he had just talked to Kiwi about the collaboration, and even Dilraba knew.

Are there really kiwifruits that leak air like this?

"My boss told me this and asked me to ask you if it's true?"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's question, Reba spoke somewhat shyly, and then told Lü Ming what Sister Mi had asked her to inquire about.

"oh oh!"

Hearing Dilraba's answer, Lü Ming wasn't surprised. After all, with Dilraba's boss, Sister Mi, being a member of the industry's capital, it wasn't surprising that she knew some of this information. He then nodded and said, "There is such a thing, but it's still under discussion, and it can't be confirmed yet!"

"Uh-huh!"

Reba nodded, briefly explained her feelings, and then hung up the phone, telling Sister Mi, who was waiting, what Lü Ming had told her.

"thank you!"

After learning about the situation from Reba, Sister Mi thanked Reba and then quickly got to work.

After hanging up the phone, Lü Ming returned to the Kiwi Fruit meeting room, where Gangzi and the others were still looking at the script of "Ghost Blows Out the Light - The Ancient City of Jingjue" that Lü Ming had brought.

"Brother, let's not say anything more, we're voting!"

As Gangzi listened to the research information reported by his subordinates, he patted his chest and assured Che Lüming, "If you agree, we'll provide you with money and resources, and we guarantee you the best treatment."

According to the information reported by his subordinates, the script quality of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is no worse than that of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," and may even be better in terms of storytelling.

In Gangzi's opinion, this novel, "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," has almost all the potential to become a blockbuster.

"I estimate the investment for this film, 'Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City,' to be around 100 million yuan."

"I can play the male lead!"

"I want half of the script fee plus the lead actor's salary!"

After hearing Gangzi's words, Lü Ming thought for a moment and then shared his thoughts.

After hearing Lü Ming's words, Gangzi nodded, not thinking that Lü Ming's offer was an exorbitant demand.

Given Lü Ming's current popularity and influence, even just his lead actor salary would be at least tens of millions. Adding script fees and other expenses, getting half of that shouldn't be a problem.

Most importantly, if Lü Ming were to play the lead role, it would almost guarantee that "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" would become a hit.

"Brother, we're all on the same side, so just tell me straight, what conditions did Tencent offer?"

Gangzi looked at Lü Ming standing in front of him and asked him directly.

It means that Gangzi and Lü Ming have a good relationship; otherwise, asking such a question would be extremely presumptuous.

"His offer is better than yours!"

Lu Ming looked at Gangzi, who was being very direct, shook his head, and told Gangzi about the conditions that Penguin had offered.

Hu Tao, you're not human!

When Gangzi heard the terms offered by Tencent Video from Lü Ming, his hatred for Hu Tao surged like the Yangtze River, never ceasing.

If Hu Tao were standing in front of Gangzi right now, Gangzi wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could stay calm.

After all, Tencent Video was too ruthless. Hu Tao's offer was completely targeted at Kiwi. In addition to offering a higher and better price than Kiwi, he was willing to give Lü Ming the top price that had never been seen in China before for "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue", and he also offered some resources that Kiwi could not provide.

It's worth noting that for many years, Tencent Video has been the undisputed leader among domestic video platforms.

Over the years, Tencent Video has accumulated far more resources than kiwifruit.

In particular, some of these promises were ones that Gangzi absolutely could not make.

After all, it's not that kiwis don't want to, it's that they really can't.

In other words, given all the current conditions, kiwifruit is almost completely lagging behind.

Whether it's price or resources, it can't compare to Tencent Video.

The only thing they could rely on was the friendship between Gangzi and Lü Ming.

For a moment, Gangzi fell silent. (End of Chapter)
