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

Although Zhejiang TV had imagined that their official announcement of Lu Ming and Dilraba as guest stars would cause quite a stir, they did not expect such a strong response.

Less than an hour after the official announcement was released, the names of Lü Ming and Dilraba dominated the trending topics on Weibo, and in a short time, the Weibo post announcing the news had received more than 100,000 comments.

"This level of popularity is really a bit frightening!"

In a garden villa in Shanghai, Baby, lying on the sofa, looked at the news online and said to Xiaoming next to her with a hint of shock in her eyes.

It's worth noting that when Zhejiang TV officially announced their regular guest artists a few days ago, although the discussion was quite good due to the previous season's success, it was still far less popular than it is today.

The top ten trending topics on Weibo were almost entirely occupied by this, even the news of Wang Banbi releasing a new song was drowned out.

"That's normal. You probably don't know what kind of status that guy has in the Chinese entertainment industry right now!"

When Xiaoming heard what Baby said, he didn't seem too surprised. Instead, he said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Given Lü Ming's current status in the mainland entertainment industry, this level of popularity is perfectly normal.

Although Xiaoming is now more involved in the film industry and doesn't have much interaction with Lü Ming, it doesn't mean that Xiaoming is unaware of Lü Ming's name.

Putting aside the fact that it was because of Baby, Brother Xiaoming had been following the previous season of "Running Man" for a long time and naturally knew about Lü Ming, who shone brightly on the show. Not to mention that when Dilraba became a hit because of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," Brother Xiaoming heard Baby say more than once that if it were him, he would do this or that.

Moreover, you should know that Brother Xiaoming is Huayue's top performer, so he naturally knows about what happened between Lü Ming and Huayue.

Brother Xiaoming has witnessed more than once how Huayue's senior executives broke down in anger because of Lü Ming at the company.

In addition, Lu Chuan recently made a statement in the film industry that he would blacklist Lü Ming. At the time, including Xiao Ming and others, everyone thought that no matter how successful Lü Ming was outside, he probably wouldn't have a chance to enter the film industry.

Given the previous situation, no one would risk offending a renowned director like Lu Chuan by casting Lü Ming in their film.

This is why, while many popular young actors are entering the film industry and shooting various movies, Lü Ming hasn't received many offers.

On the one hand, Lü Ming himself was busy filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" and didn't have much time, so he turned down many offers from production teams.

On the other hand, Lu Chuan's threat caused many production teams that had some ideas to stop their work.

According to information that Xiaoming and his friends had gathered at the time, a big production originally intended to invite Lü Ming to play the male lead, but after hearing Lu Chuan's threat and looking at the situation in the film industry, they ultimately chose to give up.

In the traditional view of artists like Xiaoming, film actors are definitely a level above any popular or television actors, which is why so many TV stars try their best to get into the film industry.

Just when Xiaoming and his friends thought Lü Ming had no chance, Lü Ming suddenly exploded onto the scene. On that episode of "Asian King of Kings," he amazed everyone with a near-perfect performance, and even official media came to support him.

After the official media got involved, Lu Chuan's original threat seemed somewhat ridiculous.

Originally, after Lu Chuan's threats, very few people in the film industry dared to hire Lü Ming to make movies. However, after the official media intervened, the situation changed instantly.

Putting aside the level of importance Lü Ming currently receives from the authorities, if Lü Ming wanted, he could get all sorts of positive-energy and officially promoted movies on the air.

Moreover, with official support, some production teams no longer worry about Lu Chuan's threat.

Given Lü Ming's current popularity and buzz, which film company or production team wouldn't be envious?

Even the big-budget movie that Xiaoming is currently starring in is planning to contact Lü Ming recently, wanting to invite him to play the second male lead in the movie. If Lü Ming is willing, the production team can even rewrite the script specifically for Lü Ming to ensure his screen time in the movie.

Even Xiaoming (a famous actor) might not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment; only a few top actors and award-winning actors can enjoy such treatment.

Perhaps in Baby's eyes, Lü Ming is still just the same popular young actor who used to joke around with them on shows, at most he's a bit more popular, and they don't see much difference between him and them.

However, Xiaoming, who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, knows very well what Lu Ming's current status is in the industry.

He's simply incomparable to any of those other top male celebrities!
"Could you introduce me to him sometime? I'd really like to get to know him!"

As if remembering something, Brother Xiaoming spoke to Baby, who was lying next to him scrolling through her phone.

"Shall I introduce you?"

"You two don't have much in common!"

Upon hearing Xiaoming's words, Baby's face showed a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected Xiaoming to value Lü Ming so much and actually intend to take the initiative to date him.

Despite Xiaoming's excellent reputation in the industry and his good relationships with most celebrities, Baby, as his wife, knows that Xiaoming is a proud and arrogant person who doesn't take ordinary people seriously. Moreover, Xiaoming is now almost entirely focused on the film industry and doesn't have much interaction with Lü Ming. Baby never expected that Xiaoming would take the initiative to get to know Lü Ming.

"Who knows if we'll cross paths again in the future!"

"With that guy's talent, he's bound to enter the film industry in the future. Getting to know him now would definitely not be a bad thing!"

"The most crucial thing is that guy's petty personality; I don't want to end up like Hong Lei!"

When talking about Lü Ming's "petty" personality, Brother Xiaoming smiled, not with much belittling intent, but rather with a hint of teasing.

To be honest, Xiaoming quite likes Lü Ming's 'petty' personality; it gives people a genuine feeling.

In the entertainment industry where everyone wears a mask, it's actually quite nice to know such a genuine person.

It's only because he's worried about Huayue's attitude that Xiaoming has gone to contact Lü Ming and befriend him.

Moreover, based on Xiaoming's understanding of Lü Ming, and considering the acting skills Lü Ming displayed in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," he is definitely qualified to make movies, not to mention that Lü Ming also has creative talent that most people don't have.

The wildly popular TV series "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" has proven everything.

With the ability to create such excellent TV series and web series scripts, there's a good chance they'll have the opportunity to create film scripts in the future.
If Lü Ming can create an excellent film script, then he can practically dominate the film industry.

This is why Hong Lei has been feeling quite frustrated in the film industry lately.

Because of his falling out with Lü Ming, coupled with his previous online attacks to defame Lü Ming, Hong Lei now has a very poor public image and is extremely unpopular.

Several film crews that had already cast Hong Lei decided to cut ties with him and replace him with other actors after seeing the online public opinion and receiving some messages of boycott.

Seeing this, other film crews naturally didn't dare to ask Hong Lei to make any movies at this time. After all, these days, three-legged toads are hard to find, but male actors are everywhere.

While male actors like Hong Lei are not everywhere, there are at least a few replacements.

No film crew would risk offending the general public by inviting Hong Lei to make a movie under the current circumstances; after all, there are other options besides Hong Lei.

This resulted in Hong Lei, a top-tier male actor, suddenly finding himself without any acting opportunities.

Under normal circumstances, top-tier male actors like Hong Lei are not exactly swamped with work, but at least they have plenty of opportunities. It's nothing like Hong Lei, who can't get any roles at all.

Seeing Hong Lei's current situation, the person who must feel the most emotional is Huang Yingdi.

If he had been as stubborn as Hong Lei back then and refused to admit defeat, he would be in his current situation.

For Xiaoming, although he may not necessarily need to curry favor with Lü Ming, it would definitely not be a bad thing to be on good terms with him.

"No way, he can actually make movies?"

Upon hearing this, Baby immediately sat up and asked with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

For Baby, her biggest wish is to become a movie actress.

However, at present, this dream is unlikely to be realized in the short term.

As a former model, Baby was able to become a host on "Running Man" thanks to Xiaoming's support behind the scenes.

However, even with Xiaoming's status and connections in the Chinese entertainment industry, it would still be difficult to push her into the film industry. Even though she has appeared in a few movies, she has only been a minor character without a name, and has not even crossed the threshold into the film industry.

Judging from what Brother Xiaoming said, it seems that as long as Lü Ming wants to, he can gain a foothold in the film industry at any time, which makes Baby very envious and jealous.

It's worth noting that Baby has been working in the entertainment industry for quite some years, yet she hasn't even found her way into the film industry.

"Who knows!"

Xiao Ming smiled but didn't explain further.

Meanwhile, in an apartment in the capital.

"I'm not going!"

"I don't want to share the stage with that guy!"

Wu Qian looked at his agent standing in front of him and said to him with a very resistant expression.

Just moments before, Wu Qian was at home discussing the 'tacit understanding' between idols and fans with a female fan who had traveled from afar, when he was suddenly pulled up by his manager.

Wu Qian initially thought something serious had happened, until he heard his agent's words and realized the truth.

It turned out that his agent came to inform him that Zhejiang TV had invited him to be a guest on the first episode of the second season of "Running Man".

Upon hearing this news, Wu Qian immediately decided to decline Zhejiang TV's invitation.

Wu Qian is no fool; he has seen the online discussions and knows that Lü Ming and Dilraba will be guest stars on the first episode of the second season of "Running Man".

The thought of going there to watch Lü Ming swagger around filled Wu Qian with instinctive resistance.

Although Wu Qian loathed Lü Ming and even wished that Lü Ming would die suddenly the next moment, he was also well aware of the gap between him and Lü Ming.

Back when he was on the show "Back to Field", he was a top idol who was sought after by everyone, while Lü Ming was just a minor celebrity whose career was about to collapse and who was not cared about by many people.

But only a short time has passed.

He has now been completely left behind by Lü Ming, and can no longer even catch up with him.

If the "Running Man" program team had only invited him and not Lü Ming, Wu Qian would have definitely agreed without hesitation.

After all, "Running Man" is definitely one of the top variety shows in China right now. With the excellent results of the first season, it has already attracted a lot of attention even before it has started airing. Even for Wu Qian, who is a top star, participating in the show is a boost to his popularity.

However, the "Running Man" production team invited him not because they valued his popularity and buzz, but simply because they wanted to stir up some controversy by recognizing the conflict between him and Lü Ming.

"You must go!"

"This is a company requirement!"

Faced with Wu Qian's refusal, his agent interrupted him without any expression on his face, giving Wu Qian no chance to refuse.

Wu Qian's agent was naturally aware of his ulterior motives.

If it were any other ordinary program, Wu Qian's little tantrum would be understandable, and they might even agree to his idea to appease him.

But not this time.

Putting aside the fact that this invitation came from Zhejiang TV, as the second largest local TV station in China after Hunan TV, Zhejiang TV's influence is absolutely enormous.

Even though Wu Qian's company is not bad among domestic entertainment companies, in terms of influence, it is incomparable to Zhejiang TV.

If their refusal leads to dissatisfaction from Zhejiang TV, it might not result in a complete ban, but it could definitely have a significant impact on them, not to mention that the "Running Man" program is backed by a giant online video platform like iQiyi.

In addition, Wu Qian's company also saw the popularity of the new season of "Running Man". If he could join the show, it would definitely boost Wu Qian's popularity.

Although Wu Qian is still quite popular and can still be considered a top-tier young actor, it doesn't mean that Wu Qian is without pressure.

Since witnessing the rise and popularity of Wu Qian and his group of popular celebrities, numerous entertainment companies have successively launched their own idols and popular artists, putting considerable pressure on Wu Qian. (End of Chapter)
