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

Among them, Dilraba and Lü Ming are the most valued by the leaders of Zhejiang TV.

The reason why the previous season of "Running Man" achieved such high ratings can be attributed to the crucial roles played by Lü Ming and Dilraba.

No sooner has the preparation for the new season of "Running Man" begun than many netizens have already requested that Lü Ming and Dilraba be invited to the show, as they are eager to see their interactions on the program.

Besides that, there's the current popularity of Lü Ming and Dilraba.

One is a rising A-list female star in the entertainment industry, with immense popularity and buzz.

The other one is even more outrageous; he can be considered the number one celebrity in terms of traffic and popularity in the current Chinese entertainment industry.

If Lü Ming and Dilraba could be invited to participate in the show, then perhaps this season of "Running Man" could create a viewership record exclusively for Zhejiang TV, and completely challenge Hunan TV.

Not to mention, with Lü Ming and Dilraba's current popularity, as long as we can invite the two of them, all kinds of advertisements and sponsorships will almost flock to us, so there is no need to worry at all.

You can find this out from Hunan TV's "Asian King" program.

Before Lü Ming arrived, the program "Asian King" had already faced various public opinion issues, leading many sponsors to consider withdrawing their support. There were even rumors that Hunan TV's sponsoring partners were considering future collaborations.

However, everything changed after Lü Ming appeared on an episode of "Asian King of Pop".

Not only did it set an unprecedented viewership record for domestic variety shows, but even the sponsors who originally planned to leave stopped their departure and strengthened their cooperation with Hunan TV.

According to information received by the leaders of Zhejiang TV, the sponsorship fees for the later episodes of "Asian King" have reportedly skyrocketed, and even then, many brands are still unable to secure a spot.

If "Running Man" can invite Lü Ming as a guest on the show, then there will be absolutely no problem with sponsoring the program.

For example, the title sponsor of the program they recently discussed has already expressed their hope that Zhejiang TV can invite Lü Ming back again.

If the show can get Lü Ming to participate, then the sponsorship fee is negotiable; they can even ask for an exorbitant price.

Given the current popularity of "Running Man," very few people would refuse their invitation. So, after securing several other guests, the production team of "Running Man" contacted Dilraba and Lü Ming, hoping to invite them to join the show as guests. They offered them an extremely generous price.

"um, yes!"

When Reba asked the question, Sister Mi didn't seem too surprised.

Although Lantai contacted Sister Mi's company, Jiaxing, as one of the company's top stars, Jiaxing immediately notified Dilraba upon receiving the news.

Although the terms offered by Lantai were very good, given Reba's current status at Jiaxing, Mi Jie and the others did not help Reba make a decision, but instead planned to ask Reba for her own opinion.

Honey Sister asked Dilraba about this situation before, and Honey Sister will not have any objection if Dilraba intends to refuse.

"Did you talk to Lü Ming? Did he agree to go?"

Dilraba didn't ask what conditions Zhejiang TV had offered, but instead asked Sister Mi whether Lü Ming had agreed.

For Dilraba, if Lü Ming agrees to go, then she will have no problem.

If Lü Ming doesn't go, then she doesn't have much interest in participating in the "Running Man" program either.

The current Dilraba is not the same Dilraba who didn't have much popularity before, and she needs to rely on participating in the "Running Man" program to increase her popularity.

She is already one of the most popular and high-profile female celebrities in the industry, so she has no shortage of fame.

"I don't know, it seems that Lantai and the others asked Gangzi to contact Lü Ming!"

Honey shook her head, not really knowing what Lü Ming was thinking either.

To be honest, in Sister Mi's opinion...

With Lü Ming's current popularity, even the "Running Man" program might not be able to take notice of him, not to mention that Lü Ming already has a lot on his plate. The filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is not yet finished, and it is currently the most talked-about TV series online.

"Oh!"

"Then I'll ask him."

After listening to Sister Mi's words, Reba nodded and planned to call Lü Ming to ask for his thoughts.

For Dilraba, it had been a long time since she and Lü Ming had seen each other. If they could participate in the "Running Man" program together, they could spend a few days together during the recording, saving her fellow Xinjiang native from monopolizing Lü Ming's time for so long.

"How's the filming of 'Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City' going?"

"It's going well! Progress is going smoothly so far, and it should be almost finished in about another month!"

Upon hearing Gangzi's question on the other end of the phone, Lü Ming thought for a moment and then replied to Gangzi.

Since returning from the "Asian King" program, the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" has been proceeding smoothly. Filming is currently in its final stages and should be completed in about a month.

However, finishing filming doesn't mean it can be released immediately. After editing, promotion, and other tasks are completed, it will take at least a few more months before it can be released.

"That's good! Um... do you have any free time lately?"

Upon hearing that the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was proceeding smoothly, Gangzi felt instantly at ease.

The importance of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" goes without saying. It is the most important project for both iQiyi and Tencent Video. They are both waiting for "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" to become the hit of the year after its release.

In that case, their efforts wouldn't have been in vain.

However, after inquiring about "Ghost Blows Out the Light - The Ancient City of Jingjue", Gangzi did not hang up the phone. Instead, he asked Lü Ming somewhat awkwardly.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Hearing Gangzi's words, Lü Ming was slightly surprised, wondering what Gangzi wanted to talk to him about.

"The second season of 'Running Man' is coming up, and we wanted to ask if you're available. The production team would like to invite you to be a guest host!"

Compared to Lü Ming's indifference, Gangzi was actually a little embarrassed.

The last time Li Yan from Hunan TV invited Lü Ming to participate in that episode of "Asian King," it was through Gangzi who contacted Lü Ming. In the end, the result was not bad. If Lü Ming had turned out the way they initially expected, Gangzi would probably have felt a little embarrassed.

It was only because this matter concerned their kiwifruit that Gangzi felt embarrassed to say anything more.

"Running Man" is a major variety show co-produced by iQiyi and Zhejiang TV, exclusively broadcast by iQiyi. Last season, not only did Zhejiang TV make a significant comeback thanks to the success of the first season of "Running Man," instantly becoming the fastest-growing local TV station under Hunan TV, but iQiyi, which exclusively broadcasts "Running Man," also significantly increased user engagement and membership numbers thanks to the show's explosive popularity.

It can be said that Gangzi got to know Lü Ming because of "Running Man", not to mention the contributions "Running Man" has made to kiwifruit.

Therefore, when the leaders of Lantai approached Gangzi, hoping he could help inquire whether Lü Ming was interested, Gangzi really couldn't refuse.

It's important to understand that while "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is very important, it ultimately belongs to both iQiyi and Tencent Video.

But "Running Man" is completely different.

It's a program dedicated to their kiwifruit.

Especially after seeing that Hunan TV broke the domestic variety show ratings record with that episode of "Asian King" a while ago, and received a lot of praise, no TV station or platform in China is not envious.

Given Lü Ming's current popularity and buzz, if he were to participate in this season of "Running Man," he would undoubtedly break the record set last season. Both Zhejiang TV and iQiyi are very confident in this.

"This might be a bit time-sensitive."

"As you know, the filming of 'Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City' was very intense and the pressure was immense, especially since I just left and it's really not advisable for me to go out again."

Upon hearing Gangzi's words, Lü Ming instinctively wanted to refuse.

What he just said wasn't just an excuse; it was what Lü Ming truly felt.

Firstly, although the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is going very smoothly and in an orderly manner, no one knows if there will be any unforeseen circumstances. If it is delayed, it will be troublesome.

On the other hand, "Running Man" is not the same as "Asian King".

The "Asian King" program only requires one night, and even including the preparation time, it will only take two or three days at most, which will not have a significant impact on the filming work.

However, the "Running Man" program is completely different. Even without considering the time spent running back and forth, the filming and recording of the program alone takes at least two or three days. Adding in the preparation, it means that at least a week of filming time is wasted.

Not to mention they also wanted to invite Lü Ming as a guest host, and planned to have Lü Ming continue filming with the production team.

Therefore, even though he knew that Zhejiang TV was offering an exorbitant appearance fee, Lü Ming still planned to refuse.

"Eh~~~"

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Although he was somewhat disappointed by Lü Ming's rejection, Gangzi didn't say much.

If it were any ordinary celebrity or artist who dared to be so disrespectful and refuse the invitations from iQiyi and Zhejiang TV, they would at least be blacklisted or sidelined for a period of time, if not blacklisted. But Lu Ming and his group had no such intentions at all.

These days, which domestic TV station or online platform wouldn't want to cultivate a good relationship with Lü Ming?

It was only because of their past friendship that Gangzi and Lü Ming had a fairly good relationship; otherwise, given how sought-after Lü Ming was, even a kiwi might not have been able to squeeze in.

Therefore, even though Lü Ming declined their invitation, Gangzi and the others had no objections.

There will be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future, and there is absolutely no need to affect the relationship between the two parties because of this one instance.

And less than a minute after Gangzi hung up the phone, before Lü Ming even had a chance to put his phone back in his pocket, he saw a call from Reba.

Have you received an invitation from the "Running Man" program team?

After the call connected, I heard Reba's impatient voice asking questions on the other end of the line.

"Ok!"

"Gangzi just called to ask, but I didn't agree!"

Upon hearing Dilraba's question, Lü Ming assumed that Dilraba had come to ask for his opinion or something, so he replied.

Why didn't you agree?

Reba, on the other end of the phone, was slightly puzzled. She hadn't expected Lü Ming to refuse the invitation so readily. With a hint of jealousy in her voice, she said, "You're not so happy that you've forgotten about home, are you?"

"What are you thinking about!"

"As you know, I'm currently filming 'Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City,' and I have a lot of work to do. How could I possibly have time to be a host or guest!"

Hearing Reba's voice on the other end of the phone, Lü Ming seemed to picture her pouting and jealous, and quickly explained, "They invited you too?"

"Ok!"

"I was thinking of accepting the show's invitation. We haven't seen each other in so long, and I was planning to take advantage of the recording time to see you. But I didn't expect you to have already refused!"

Dilraba originally planned to accept Zhejiang TV's invitation to participate in the "Running Man" program with Lü Ming, which would be a good way to relieve her longing.

For Dilraba, there was no intention to visit Gulnazar on set, as they were trying to avoid meeting in front of so many people; it seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them.

However, Dilraba did not expect that Lü Ming would refuse so quickly, without even discussing it with her. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and even her voice became low.

Do you want me to go with you?

Hearing the slightly deep voice on the other end of the phone, Lü Ming asked Reba.

"miss you!"

Reba blurted it out almost without hesitation.

"Then go!"

"However, we can't be the host guests. You and I both have other things to do and announcements to make. Let's just have you as guest stars who only participate in one episode!"

After thinking for a moment, Lü Ming spoke to Reba on the other end of the phone.

To be honest, Lü Ming hadn't seen Dilraba for a while, and he couldn't help but miss her.

Since Dilraba wanted him to accompany her for one episode, Lü Ming naturally accepted the offer. (End of Chapter)
