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

The assistant knew perfectly well what these reporters were thinking; they simply wanted to get some big news out of Lü Ming.

The assistant wouldn't let them have their way.

Putting aside Lu Ming's current popularity, any casual remark he makes could cause a huge uproar. Moreover, due to the suddenness of Wu Qian's provocation, the assistant couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

After all, Lü Ming's current focus is still on the novel "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," and he can't let these things affect his work.

In the assistant's mind, it would be very easy for Lü Ming to enter the film industry. If he wanted to, there would be plenty of production teams willing to hire him. However, the assistant couldn't help but consider that with Lü Ming's current popularity and reputation, not just any production team could invite him.

Besides, the assistant knew what Wu Qian and Hua Yue were really up to. They just wanted to use Lü Ming's popularity to promote their big-budget sequel to Journey to the West. The assistant didn't want them to succeed.

Seeing the assistant's actions, the entertainment reporters below were clearly a little nervous. They had waited in the cold wind for so long just to get some big news from Lü Ming. If Lü Ming didn't say a word, wouldn't their wait have been in vain?

To be honest, it's not that they're just waiting in vain. They can still make things up or fabricate stories, but nothing has the same explosive effect as when Lü Ming says it himself.

"Lü Ming, are you afraid of Wu Qian?"

Just as the entertainment reporters were about to say something more, Zhuo Wei's subordinate, after receiving instructions from his boss, suddenly spoke loudly.

Hua Yue and Wu Qian had anticipated this situation and knew that Lü Ming would most likely not accept interviews from reporters at this time, but this was not the outcome they wanted.

What they wanted to see was Lü Ming spouting nonsense in front of so many cameras, just like Wu Qian, preferably breaking down in a fit of rage, so that the topic alone would give them a huge boost in popularity.

Therefore, Pei Siqian and his group specifically sought out Zhuo Wei and spent a large sum of money to have him provoke Lü Ming in the same way he is doing now.

After all, no matter how much Pei Siqian hates Lü Ming, he still needs to save face.

Even if they were to do this, it shouldn't be done by people from Huayue; it would be better to find paparazzi like Zhuo Wei to do it.

When Zhuo Wei received the task from Hua Yue Pei Siqian and Wu Qian, he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

Because of the previous incident, Zhuo Wei and his studio were blacklisted by Lü Ming and could no longer get any information from him. This was not good news for Zhuo Wei, who called himself the number one paparazzi in the entertainment industry.

It's worth noting that Lü Ming is currently the most popular and talked-about celebrity in the entire entertainment industry. Even his every move can attract considerable attention online. In fact, some behind-the-scenes footage of Lü Ming filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" can dominate the trending topics on Weibo for a day or two.

Since being blacklisted by Lü Ming, Zhuo Wei and his studio have been unable to obtain any news or information from Lü Ming in a timely manner. They can only act as "middlemen" and repost news that others have posted online. This has made many netizens who follow Zhuo Wei dissatisfied. In a short period of time, the number of followers on Zhuo Wei's accounts has dropped significantly, which has even affected their income.

People follow you, Zhuo Wei, because they want to see the latest news and the biggest juicy gossip. Otherwise, who would want to follow a paparazzi like you?

In terms of ordinary news reporting, Zhuo Wei can never compare to those professional entertainment news media.

As the uncrowned king of the entertainment industry, Zhuo Wei has always been the one being begged and flattered since he entered the industry. This is the first time he has encountered someone like Lü Ming who doesn't care about him at all and has blacklisted him.

Originally, Zhuo Wei had sent his men to follow Lü Ming for a period of time, hoping to dig up some dirt on Lü Ming and let him know that he shouldn't have offended him.

However, despite tracking it for a long time, they failed to uncover any major news.

So, Zhuo Wei, who had originally intended to cause some trouble, immediately arranged for his subordinate, who was present at the scene, to speak up and provoke Lü Ming after receiving the money from Pei Siqian and Wu Qian.

If Lü Ming gets so enraged by their provocation that he breaks down his defenses, then their plan will succeed.

"Is that you speaking?"

Upon hearing the provocative remarks of Zhuo Wei's subordinate, Lü Ming, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and pointed at the man, asking him a question.

"It's me!"

Seeing the finger Lü Ming pointed at him, Zhuo Wei instinctively panicked. He knew that Lü Ming was notorious among paparazzi for being vindictive. Even his own boss had suffered greatly for offending Lü Ming, let alone him, a mere paparazzi. He feared that if Lü Ming made a statement, he could forget about working in this industry forever.

However, when he thought about the bonus his boss had offered him, he realized that if he could anger Lü Ming, he could get a hefty bonus, and then he could simply change careers.

"I want to ask you if you're afraid of Wu Qian, which is why you don't dare to enter the film industry and compete with him?"

Thinking of this, he deliberately repeated what he had just said, and provoked Lü Ming again.

The entertainment reporters standing by looked on with amusement, since they weren't the ones who had offended Lü Ming. If Lü Ming said something explosive because of this guy's provocation, they would be doing him a favor.

"Boss, just ignore him!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Lü Ming's assistant knew that his boss was being stubborn and quickly tried to persuade him.

"fine!"

Lu Ming gently reassured his assistant, then looked at Zhuo Wei's smug subordinate below and said, "I know exactly what you're thinking. I know you want to get some big news out of me."

"Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to your comments, but since you're always so aggressive and trying to use me for your own entertainment, then I'll grant your wish!"

"You guys said I'm afraid to enter the film industry, so I'll go in and see what kind of monsters and demons this film industry is that can scare me so much that I don't dare to go in!"

"Since your movie is scheduled for release during next year's Spring Festival, let's have a competition! I'll also release mine next year!"

Boom~~~
Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, the reporters present were stunned. Then, they seemed to go crazy, frantically crowding around Lü Ming and shouting questions.

"Lu Ming, have you made your choice yet? Can you tell us what kind of movie it is?"

"Lu Ming, which renowned director in the film industry are you planning to collaborate with?" "Lu Ming, what are your thoughts on your first foray into the big screen? Are you a little nervous?"

Despite the reporters' relentless questioning, Lü Ming acted as if he hadn't heard them. Under the protection of his assistant and Hunan TV security personnel, he left the group of reporters, leaving them in suspense.

After Lü Ming left, the reporters present quickly posted the information they had just received online.

The news that Lü Ming was about to make a movie ignited the entire internet. Weibo's top headlines were full of news about it, even overshadowing the popularity of Hunan TV's Golden Eagle Awards. As for what Feng Teng said, no one paid any attention.

When netizens saw these messages, they were stunned and didn't know what had happened. They turned off the TV for a short while, but it felt like they had missed an eternity.

Everyone already knew about Wu Qian's provocative remarks against Lü Ming at the press conference for Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West. After all, these days any news that can get involved with Lü Ming's name will become a hot topic, let alone involving two big celebrities like Stephen Chow and Lü Ming.

Everyone originally thought that Lü Ming would ignore the provocations from Hong Lei and his group online, just like he did back then. But to everyone's surprise, this time Lü Ming seemed like a completely different person and responded directly.

This is not only a direct response to Wu Qian's provocation, but also a plan to make a movie to compete head-on with Wu Qian during next year's Spring Festival season.

It's worth noting that this year, due to Lü Ming's soaring popularity, many of his fans were looking forward to seeing him shine on the big screen.

In recent years, many popular celebrities have managed to get onto the big screen by leveraging the fan economy, promoting themselves as movie actors and such, which is laughable.

Most of those celebrities who make movies are complete frauds. They have absolutely no acting skills and are far from meeting the requirements for making movies. They are just scamming fans out of movie tickets.

Even Wu Qian, due to his popularity, managed to get a role in Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West and become the male lead.

Because of Wu Qian's provocative remarks at the press conference, Wu Qian's fans seemed to have received some kind of order and started to mock Lü Ming online, saying things like Lü Ming didn't dare to enter the film industry for fear of being exposed.

When they heard these comments, Lü Ming's fans almost couldn't help but laugh.

According to Lü Ming's fans, his acting skills are more than enough for making movies. They wouldn't say he's outstanding, but he's definitely not bad. Otherwise, a big-name director like Zhang Yimou wouldn't want to work with him.

Lü Ming's fans believe that with his acting skills, he could make a name for himself even if he went into making movies.

Lu Ming's decision to make a movie had already excited his fans and netizens for a long time, but they never expected that Lu Ming would also be preparing to challenge Wu Qian.

They love a good show!
Aside from some of Lü Ming's fans who were worried, the vast majority of netizens were happy to see this scene.

[The struggling actor is finally getting ready to make a movie! Movie buffs are ecstatic!]

I can't wait to see this unknown actor's big-screen debut! I've decided I'll definitely watch it multiple times and contribute to the box office success!

Why wait until next year's Spring Festival? I really can't wait! I wish I could see this obscure actor's big-screen debut tomorrow!

[Can anyone tell me which director this unknown actor is going to work with, and what movie he's making? I have absolutely no idea!]

I don't know either, this guy Huka really whetted everyone's appetite!

[Could it be Zhang Yimou? I've heard he's always wanted to work with those washed-up actors!]

If that's really the case, then it's perfect. With Zhang Yimou and some unknown actors, I can't imagine how they could lose.

[Impossible! Zhang Yimou's film has already been greenlit, and the cast and crew have been selected. It's impossible for any unknown actor to work with him this time!]

[Oh? That means it's all over? This washed-up actor is facing Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West. The competition is fierce!]

To be honest, I don't think any washed-up actor can compete. Stephen Chow's reputation speaks for itself, and his previous works were so excellent. I simply can't imagine how a washed-up actor could possibly win!

[This unknown actor is too reckless. Even if he's entering the film industry, there's no need to create such a huge challenge for himself! This is Stephen Chow!]

Am I destined to fail for the first time in my life as a nobody because of Wu Qian?

[Haha, the thought of your Lü Ming losing to my brother makes me want to laugh!]

Although everyone is looking forward to Lü Ming's big-screen debut, most people don't have much confidence in Lü Ming's competition with Wu Qian.

If it were merely a competition between Lü Ming and Wu Qian, they wouldn't be worried at all; they couldn't see in any way that Wu Qian could defeat Lü Ming.

But this is a movie!

It's not just a competition between Lü Ming and Wu Qian, but a competition between two films.

Based on the reputation and success of Stephen Chow's previous film, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," as long as Wu Qian's performance this time isn't too bad, the final result won't be too bad. It's definitely possible to get a box office of over a billion yuan, and there's even a chance to break the box office record set by Stephen Chow's previous film, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

As for Lü Ming?
No matter how brilliant his achievements are in the TV drama and variety show circles, or how exaggerated his popularity and influence are, he is still a newcomer in the film industry.

Even if Lü Ming has a lot of box office appeal, it's impossible to expect his fans to contribute over a billion yuan to the box office!

You need to know that movies and TV series are different.

Watching TV or online dramas is free, but buying movie tickets requires real money.

In everyone's opinion, it would be considered a very good result for Lü Ming's big-screen debut to gross over 100 million yuan. (End of this chapter)
