Therefore, once this news gets out, at least most celebrities in the entertainment industry will hesitate when they receive an invitation to the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala.

According to Su Mang's understanding, the little internet celebrity was just a small company in the industry.

These small fry are the least afraid of being offended.

If the other party cannot give Su Mang a reasonable answer, then Su Mang would not mind using his connections to block the other party.

You have to understand that Lü Ming is Su Mang's biggest financial backer today. If Lü Ming leaves for this reason, those financial backers and sponsors will probably tear Su Mang apart.

She absolutely could not accept this situation happening.

In particular, Kiwi and Tencent Video, which spent a lot of money to buy the broadcasting rights for this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala, did so not for other irrelevant celebrities, but for Lü Ming.

While others may not fully grasp Lü Ming's value, Kiwi and Tencent are acutely aware of just how popular Lü Ming is right now.

Kiwifruit needs no introduction. Thanks to Lü Ming's "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," its data has skyrocketed in various aspects recently, firmly securing its position as the second largest video platform in China, and even posing a slight threat to Tencent Video's leading position.

It can be said that Lü Ming single-handedly solidified the position of Kiwifruit. Even Gangzi is now being praised every day within Kiwifruit. In particular, those executives who hesitated when they saw Lü Ming's public opinion are now completely convinced of Gangzi's vision.

Although Tencent Video didn't benefit from the popularity of Lü Ming's "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," its membership churn reversed instantly after the official announcement that Lü Ming's new drama "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" would be available on Tencent Video. Even the number of registered users, which hadn't grown much in many years, suddenly surged recently.

Hu Tao's recent achievements have reversed his previous slump and earned him praise from the top management of the head office, who encouraged him to continue his efforts and deliver even better results.

Faced with this situation, Kiwifruit and Tencent Video almost worshipped Lü Ming.

It's worth noting that this is because Lü Ming's new drama "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" hasn't been released yet. If "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," which hasn't even started filming yet, becomes as popular as "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," then their level of attention towards Lü Ming will probably be even higher.

The reason why Kiwi and Penguin won the online broadcasting rights for this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala is partly because Lü Ming's popularity has been so high lately that everyone is watching to see when he will make an appearance.

As Lü Ming's first public appearance since "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala is bound to attract widespread attention online, which is also a profitable opportunity for Tencent Video and iQiyi.

On the other hand, they simply want to befriend Lü Ming. Both Kiwi and Tencent Video hope to deepen their relationship with Lü Ming and explore more collaborations in the future.

They even considered driving each other out of the scope of cooperation with Lü Ming, and monopolizing Lü Ming's influence.

Therefore, unless Su Mang is a fool, he wouldn't offend Lü Ming for Lu Chuan's sake.

Others might be afraid of Lu Chuan, the famous director, but Su Mangke wasn't worried at all.

Putting aside the fact that Su Mang has good relationships with the big directors and top actors in the film industry and is not particularly wary of Lu Chuan, more importantly, Su Mang's relationship with the film industry is more of a collaborative one. It's not just that Su Mang needs the fame and traffic in the film industry; those people in the film industry also need Su Mang's connections. No one is afraid of anyone else.

But Lü Ming is different.

What Su Mang needs is Lü Ming's fame and popularity, so that he can attract enough sponsors and investors.

Just like this year's Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala, with Lü Ming in attendance, sponsors didn't even need to ask for sponsorships; they came running to them. Not to mention, the online broadcasting rights for the red carpet and the charity gala, which used to sell for almost nothing, were snapped up for extremely high prices this year.

Su Mang knew perfectly well where all the sponsorships and big spenders this year came from!

They were all brought by Lü Ming.

However, compared to her need for Lü Ming's fame and popularity, Lü Ming didn't have much need for Su Mang and his team's Bazaar Charity Gala.

For other celebrities, the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala might be a way to boost their popularity and expand their social circle, but Lü Ming doesn't need it.

With Lü Ming's current popularity, he doesn't need any channels or anything like that; traffic and everything else just follow him.

If it were Lu Chuan, Su Mang might have hesitated a bit, but when it came to the little internet celebrity that Lu Chuan brought in, Su Mang didn't hesitate at all.

Just a minor internet celebrity!

To put it bluntly, given Su Mang's influence in the industry, let alone banning a small-time internet celebrity like her, he could easily ban even the entertainment and management companies behind her.

After saying that, Su Mang led his men to the scene of the conflict.

"President Su, what kind of people have you invited? How can people of such low character be qualified to attend tonight's charity gala? These people are a disgrace to the entertainment industry!"

Upon seeing Su Mang, Lu Chuan seemed to gain confidence. After giving Lü Ming a provocative look, she quickly spoke to Su Mang, who was rushing over, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Mr. Lü, are you alright?"

However, Su Mang seemed not to have heard Lu Chuan's words at all, and hurriedly walked to Lü Ming's side, asking with a worried expression.

The way he looked at it was as if he were looking at some great treasure!
If they didn't know that Lü Ming had very high standards and wouldn't accept Su Mang even if she came up to him, the two of them would probably be worried about Su Mang.

"President Su, what kind of attitude is this?"

"Didn't you see that I'm the one who's injured? That nobody is just an abuser, how could he possibly be injured?"

"If you don't give me a reasonable answer today, I'm withdrawing from tonight's charity gala!"

Seeing Su Mang's attitude towards Lü Ming, Lu Chuan pointed to her face, which had been slapped red by Lü Ming, and threatened Su Mang with some dissatisfaction.

In Lu Chuan's mind, the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala was Su Mang's lifeline. She believed that if she threatened him a little, Su Mang would definitely come to the reality.

After all, if a director like Lu Chuan were to suddenly leave, it would likely immediately spark various speculations from the outside world and damage the reputation of the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala.

"What attitude?"

Upon hearing Lu Chuan's threat, Su Mang did not apologize as Lu Chuan had expected. Instead, he angrily questioned Lu Chuan, "Director Lu, I'd like to ask you something else. Did we invite you to the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala to make things difficult for you?"

"What do you mean? You brought your people to ruin my livelihood?"

"If you can't manage your people, don't bring them out to embarrass yourself!" Hearing Su Mang's words, Lu Chuan was slightly stunned, still wondering what was wrong with Su Mang. Why would he offend a big director with great influence in the industry for the sake of a nobody like Lü Ming?

However, Su Mang ignored what Lu Chuan was thinking. Instead, he looked down at the little internet celebrity hiding next to Lu Chuan and said with a hint of coldness, "Little girl, what do you think this place is? If you think you can play your tricks on us, you're still too green."

"President Su, I don't understand what you mean. They were the ones who hit me! I'm the victim!"

Looking into Su Mang's cold eyes, the young internet celebrity felt as if she had been seen through. She avoided Su Mang's gaze slightly and said in a feigned aggrieved tone.

"Stop pretending with me, I know exactly what you're up to!"

Hearing the young internet celebrity's aggrieved words, Su Mang showed little sympathy. Instead, he sneered and said, "Little girl, don't worry! Your career is over. There's no place for you in this industry anymore! Also, go back and tell your company boss to give me an explanation, otherwise I think he'll understand what I mean!"

Upon hearing Su Mang's words, the young internet celebrity panicked completely, her eyes filled with fear.

Although she wasn't very famous, she knew just how much influence Su Mang wielded in the industry as the head of Harper's Bazaar.

Perhaps this threat meant nothing to Lu Chuan, but for someone at the bottom of the entertainment industry like her, it felt like a verdict.

Once Su Mang's words get out, there will be no place for him in the entire entertainment industry in the future.

Compared to that, the most crucial thing is Su Mang's threatening words afterward.

If her previous plan had succeeded, perhaps her company's boss might have protected her for the sake of profit. But now she didn't get any black traffic, and she was even beaten up. Moreover, if her company's boss finds out about the situation...

She had no doubt that her boss would not hesitate to throw her out as a scapegoat, making it impossible for her to continue in the entertainment industry and potentially leading to exorbitant compensation payments.

Thinking of this, the young internet celebrity couldn't help but look at Lu Chuan. Now, the only one who could save him was Lu Chuan in front of him.

If Lu Chuan is willing to protect her, perhaps she still has some hope.

No matter what, when she made her move just now, she was still pretending to be acting as if she were Lu Chuan.

"Director Lu."

The young internet celebrity looked at Lu Chuan with a wronged expression and pleaded in her eyes, saying, "Director Lu, I did it for you! If he hadn't mocked you, I wouldn't be in this situation now!"

Hearing the almost pleading words of the internet celebrity beside her, Lu Chuan looked somewhat troubled.

To be honest, when Su Mang declared that he would make it impossible for the internet celebrity next to him to make a living in the entertainment industry, Lu Chuan instinctively decided to give up on her.

Lu Chuan wasn't stupid, so naturally she wouldn't offend Su Mang for the sake of such a minor internet celebrity.

She's just a minor internet celebrity. There are countless minor internet celebrities and actors like her in the entertainment industry. If she's gone, there will be others. Besides, Su Mang's serious expression doesn't look like he's telling a joke at all.

However, when she heard what the internet celebrity said next and saw the teasing expressions on the faces of the people watching around her, Lu Chuan couldn't help but blush.

No matter what, this little internet celebrity was standing up for him. If he couldn't even protect this little girl, how would people in the industry view him in the future?

"Mr. Lu, do you think this is a misunderstanding?"

Lu Chuan patted the hand of the internet celebrity next to him, looked at Su Mang in front of him, and said casually, "Besides, she didn't even get a chance to hit him, did she? Why is a grown man arguing with a young girl? What you should be doing right now is dealing with this guy hitting me!"

After speaking, Lu Chuan pointed to her half-face, which had been slapped red, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Ok?"

"Director Lu, didn't you ask Lü Ming to slap your face? I heard you begged him to hit you! How am I supposed to help you with this?"

Upon hearing Lu Chuan's words, a hint of curiosity flashed across Su Mang's face, and he spoke to Lu Chuan with a serious expression.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Su Mang's serious yet nonsensical manner, Dilraba and Gulnazar couldn't help but laugh. Then, seeing Lu Chuan's angry face, they quickly covered their mouths, but their twitching bodies and furrowed brows proved how much they were struggling to hold back their laughter.

What are you two laughing at?

Hearing Dilraba and Gulnazar's laughter, Lu Chuan's face darkened, and she couldn't help but ask them a question.

"I thought of something happy!"

Dilraba pinched herself, trying hard not to laugh, and then spoke with a serious expression, though it was obvious that she was talking nonsense.

"Yes, yes, I've thought of some happy things too! Don't worry, Director Lu, I'm a man of principle, I would never laugh at you!"

Seeing this, Nazha quickly spoke up, but compared to Dilraba's somewhat more subtle words, Nazha's words were practically stabbing Lu Chuan in the heart.

And it's absolutely impossible for me to laugh at him?

If Lu Chuan believed her, then Lu Chuan would truly be a fool.

"You two have gone too far!"

Lu Chuan spoke to Dilraba and Gulnazar in a fit of exasperation, her eyes filled with rage. She had decided that once they got out of the film industry, she would blacklist them and make sure they could never enter the film industry again.

Given Lu Chuan's influence in the film and television industry, it would be incredibly easy for her to blacklist Dilraba and Gulnazar.

After all, no one would risk offending Lu Chuan, a big director in the industry, just for the sake of actresses Dilraba and Gulnazar.

In Lu Chuan's view, threatening a washed-up celebrity like Lü Ming might be useless, but threatening female artists like Dilraba and Gulnazar would be a piece of cake. (End of Chapter)
