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

This level of hype is already a bit too much.

Don't tell me this is a web series that hasn't even been broadcast or filmed yet. Even when Zhang Yimou made his movies back then, it didn't have this kind of popularity. Even those wildly popular variety shows didn't have this kind of buzz.

To put it bluntly, if the quality of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is decent, it will almost certainly become another blockbuster.

However, if the quality can be maintained at the baseline of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", or even better, even Deng Chao and the others dare not guess what the final success will be.

This might set a stunning record for the domestic online drama and film and television industry.

Faced with this situation, not to mention Sister Zheng and the others, even top female stars in the television industry like Sun Li couldn't resist such temptation. After all, who wouldn't want their fame to be even greater?

Especially when Sun Li learned that even some film industry actresses were getting restless, she went to Deng Chao and asked him to inquire whether she had a chance.

"Um, I'm really a little embarrassed!"

After hearing Deng Chao's inquiry, although Lü Ming was somewhat tempted, he ultimately declined, saying, "We can only cooperate in the future!"

To be honest, if Sun Li were to play the role of Shirley Yang, putting aside her salary and other expenses, the sheer amount of buzz she generated would be phenomenal.

However, in Lü Ming's view...

On the one hand, Sun Lina's age and appearance are not quite suitable for the role of Shirley Yang.

As a serious investor and creator, Lü Ming must be responsible for his work.

On the other hand, Lü Ming had no interest in carrying the bridal sedan chair for others; he was only filming this to promote his own people.

Sun Li is good, but she's definitely not as good as someone from your own side.

"fine!"

Deng Chao wasn't dissatisfied with Lü Ming's answer; he was just fulfilling his wife's request. After saying that, he couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Lü Ming, "Who are you planning to cast as Shirley Yang? I heard that Baby seems to be interested in the role as well."

"Hmm~"

"In terms of casting suitability, we'll probably find a beautiful, young actress!"

After hearing Deng Chao's question, Lü Ming thought for a moment, then a face appeared in his mind, and he said to Deng Chao.

"Hey hey hey!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's reply, Deng Chao chuckled knowingly on the other end of the phone, as if he had guessed something, and teased, "You've got plenty to choose from. There are so many beautiful and young actresses in the industry. Take care of yourself!"

"Would you like me to teach you some techniques or something?"

"Old men shouldn't pretend!"

After hearing Deng Chao's teasing, Lü Ming glanced at himself and launched a scathing attack on Deng Chao on the other end of the phone, "Even if you're on drugs, an old man like you wouldn't understand the bravery of us young people!"

"Fuck off!"

Deng Chao's face darkened, and after hurling insults at Lü Ming on the other end of the phone, he finally hung up.

Just as Deng Chao said, Baby called immediately after Deng Chao hung up the phone.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lü Ming for a while and getting to know each other better, Baby also inquired about the character 'Shirley Yang' from "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

Despite the fact that Baby's popularity and online traffic are comparable to those of second-tier actresses due to her relationship with Huang Xiaoming and her appearance on "Running Man," Baby herself knows her own situation very well.

She's even less stable than Sister Zheng. Although Sister Zheng has become increasingly obscure over the years and has made many bad movies, she has at least worked in the film and television industry and still has a few representative works to her name.

Forget about what you took out, just tell me whether you took it out or not.

But Baby is different. Although she started as a model and has also worked in the film and television industry, she has mostly played minor roles.

Although they have gained some traffic and popularity due to some news and variety shows, it's all baseless. They don't have any representative works to speak of, and they can't even produce anything worth mentioning.

Therefore, if Baby wants to truly establish herself in the mainland entertainment industry, she urgently needs a work like this to prove herself.

Especially after seeing Dilraba, who originally had less popularity than him, rise to become a top-tier actress with the role of "Yue Qiluo" in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," he felt even more envious.

So, after thinking it over, Baby called Lü Ming to ask about his attitude.

If Lü Ming were willing to give her the role, she would actually be willing to 'pay' some price.

Although she is still in an ambiguous relationship with the leader, and even her appearance on "Running Man" was arranged by the leader.

However, compared to Lu Ming, a promising talent, the leader is clearly at a disadvantage.

Putting aside Lü Ming's current potential, in terms of appearance alone, the leader can't compare to Lü Ming!

Lü Ming is so handsome!

Her perfect looks alone are enough to make many female stars in the industry lose their composure.

Both are unmarried!
If something could happen between her and Lü Ming, that would be even better.

However, faced with Baby's overt and covert temptations, Lü Ming held firm to his principles and rejected her.

Although Lü Ming didn't consider himself a good person, he still had no interest in touching a married man.

He's not some naive newbie like Song Zhe; he's not only involved with married women, but he even goes after his sister-in-law.

Although Baby was a little unhappy after hearing Lu Ming's rejection, she didn't say anything.

Just because we can't cooperate doesn't mean we have to offend Lü Ming!
Baby isn't stupid; with Lü Ming's momentum, he's bound to become a big shot in the industry in the future.

Offend a powerful figure who brings his own resources?
She is not stupid!

After hanging up with Baby, Lü Ming was also a bit annoyed, so he turned off his phone and lay down on the sofa.

"Boss, boss!"

He didn't know how long he had slept, but in his hazy state, Lü Ming seemed to hear his assistant's voice. When he opened his eyes, his assistant was standing in front of him, holding something that looked like an invitation. "Boss, we've been invited to the Harper's Bazaar gala."

"Oh, they rejected it!"

Lu Ming rubbed his eyes, squinted, and spoke to his assistant, Xiao Ya.

In the past, Lü Ming might have been somewhat interested in these gatherings within the industry, but now he has little interest in them.

Even the prestigious Bazaar Fashion Gala held little interest for him. Let alone in the current situation, if he went, it would be a nightmare, and he'd be driven crazy by those people.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Xiao Ya said with a hint of disappointment, "Then I'll refuse. I'll just say you're not interested in the eight million invitation fee!"

"what?"

Upon hearing his assistant's words, Lü Ming's eyes instantly cleared. He snatched the invitation from the assistant's hand, who was about to turn away, and said seriously, "How can you refuse this? It's all about social obligations. If you refuse, how will your boss ever get ahead in the business!"

"Boss, are you sure it's not because of the eight million invitation fee?"

The assistant was quite skeptical of Lü Ming's words and asked him with a hint of doubt on her face.

"Of course not! Your boss has such noble sentiments, how could he possibly compromise his principles for a little money!"

Upon hearing his assistant's words, Lü Ming's face darkened. He quickly changed the subject and asked the assistant, "When was it?"

"Three days later!"

Seeing Lü Ming's expression, the assistant stopped provoking her boss and instead told him the date of the Harper's Bazaar gala.

"No problem, just tell them I went!"

Lu Ming nodded, then instructed his assistant, "Tell them to transfer the money quickly!"

For Lü Ming, he never felt he had too much money.

These rich bastards' money is too good to pass up; even if you can't spend it all yourself, donating it is a good thing.

That's eight million!
You should know that even though Sister Mi brought in five people, she only gave Lü Ming a total of ten million.

Now, all it takes is one trip to earn eight million; why not?

Let alone that it was just a battlefield, even if it were hell, Lü Ming would still have to go and experience its flavor.

After receiving Lü Ming's reply, the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala was very excited and immediately spread the news that Lü Ming would be attending the event.

It's important to know that during this period, it wasn't just Harper's Bazaar that invited Lü Ming; he was rejected by almost everyone.

And now, Harper's Bazaar has also taken the lead.

When news broke that Lü Ming would be attending this year's Harper's Bazaar Gala, it immediately caused a stir in the industry.

You know, everyone has tried every possible way to find Lü Ming these past few days, but apart from a few people, no one else has even been able to get his contact information, let alone see him.

But now, Lü Ming is attending this year's Harper's Bazaar Gala.

For many people, this was an opportunity. Suddenly, invitations to the Harper's Bazaar Gala, which were already in high demand, became even more sought after. Even some actresses and TV stars in the industry started contacting the Harper's Bazaar Gala, wanting an invitation.

Upon seeing this, Su Mang, the person in charge of the Harper's Bazaar gala, couldn't help but nod.

That eight million invitation fee was absolutely worth it!

It's worth noting that the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala is a major annual event in the Chinese entertainment industry, considered one of the most prestigious and prestigious events in the circle. Su Mang and his team hadn't originally planned to invite Lü Ming.

Although Lü Ming's popularity and influence definitely met the invitation criteria, Harper's Bazaar still had some reservations at the time, considering the various public opinions and discussions surrounding him.

However, Harper's Bazaar panicked after "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" became a hit.

If these top-tier social media platforms in China can't even invite a rising star like Lü Ming, it will be a significant blow to Harper's Bazaar's reputation.

So after that, Harper's Bazaar started sending invitations to Lü Ming, but Lü Ming simply ignored them. His assistant didn't even tell him before rejecting them.

Upon seeing this situation, Su Mang, through some insider information, decided to give Lü Ming an invitation fee to see if he could invite Lü Ming over.

After all these years, the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala has lost its initial grandeur, especially due to various overt and covert issues, which has led to a growing number of A-list celebrities choosing not to attend.

Although the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala has never paid any invitation fees over the years, Su Mang decided to make an exception for Lü Ming, considering his current popularity.

Fortunately, her decision did not disappoint her.

After news spread that Lü Ming had agreed to attend this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala, their invitations became highly sought after. Not only did investors and celebrities who hadn't been invited before start vying for the invitations, but even some online platforms began raising their prices to broadcast this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala.

Based on the information received so far, this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala will reverse the downward trend of the past few years and may even set a record since its inception.

Over the next few days, celebrities who managed to obtain invitations began their journeys to Shanghai to prepare for the event.

Those third- or fourth-tier celebrities who didn't get invitations also seized the opportunity. Although they couldn't get into the venue, they could still get in from the outside.

Even if they can't stop Lü Ming, it's still good to show their faces.

Perhaps because he learned that Lü Ming was going to the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala, Lü Ming had two days of peace and quiet.

On the night before the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala, the organizers released the list of celebrities attending the gala online.

When those netizens saw the list, their eyes widened in astonishment.

Wow, how many celebrities are there?

[Half of the entertainment industry has come to participate, what's going on this year?]

[That's easy! See that name at the top? Even a washed-up celebrity is here. With his current popularity, who would refuse?]

[Does this unknown celebrity have such a big reputation? How can they attract so many people?]

[Brothers, you're still too young. You simply don't understand the appeal of a star who has acting skills, popularity, and can even create their own content!]

As someone in the industry, I can only say one thing: almost everyone there was there because of that washed-up celebrity.

Wow, that's amazing!

[I'm ecstatic about the nameplate! I'm going to the event tomorrow to bet on the flop!]

[Still calling him a nobody?]
