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

This was absolutely unacceptable to Wu Qian.

If any other celebrity or artist were to steal Wu Qian's show, Wu Qian would definitely not let them get away with it.

But this is Lü Ming!
As Lü Ming's old rival, Wu Qian hated Lü Ming to the core, but he also knew that the methods he used to deal with celebrities would be completely useless against Lü Ming.

Although he is a bit of a womanizer and has two close friends, Gulnazar and Dilraba, they have not done anything illegal or against moral principles like he has done.

Besides, neither of them is married, so it can't be said that Lü Ming doesn't even have the right to choose.

As for any other dirt on us, there's even less to dig up; there's not much to begin with.

Besides, the official media all stood up for Lü Ming back then. If they were to slander Lü Ming with baseless accusations, it would be absolutely useless and might even alienate the official media.

Unless Lü Ming reveals his weakness one day, Wu Qian and the others have no way to deal with him in his current situation.

You should know that after Wu Qian made some outrageous remarks at the press conference for Stephen Chow's big-budget Journey to the West sequel, as arranged by Hua Yue, his own company had already issued a gag order against him, forbidding him from saying anything more about Lü Ming outside.

Thinking about this, Wu Qian became angrier and angrier, wishing he could rush to Lü Ming's side right now and give him a good beating.

However, considering Lü Ming's terrifying combat power, Wu Qian quickly put the idea aside and didn't think about it anymore.

He's small and skinny, no match for Lü Ming.

The only chance now is this movie!

For Wu Qian, the only chance to outdo Lü Ming right now is the big-budget sequel to Journey to the West that he is currently filming, starring Stephen Chow. If he can make a good movie, all the current problems will naturally be solved. They won't even need to curry favor with the director of the Spring Festival Gala program; the director will take the initiative to invite them.

"What an overestimation of their abilities!"

Thinking back to when Lü Ming said he wanted to make a movie to compete with him, Wu Qian couldn't help but laugh.

He doesn't even look at the scale of his own film production. It can be said to be the most anticipated film in China this year, without a doubt. What does Lü Ming have to compete with him?
Moreover, Wu Qian had heard that Hua Yue hadn't said or done anything in order to target Lü Ming.

As a leading enterprise in China's entertainment and film industries, Huayue wields considerable influence throughout the sector.

After Lü Ming announced that he was going to make a movie, Hua Yue had already spread the word in the industry that anyone who worked with Lü Ming should never think about working with Hua Yue again.

While such threats may not be very effective against top artists and directors in the industry, they can be quite powerful for ordinary actors and staff.

It's important to understand that even if Lü Ming offended Hua Yue, he would still be one of the top celebrities in China, and even if he stopped making movies, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

However, for ordinary actors and staff, offending Hua Yue could have serious consequences.

Over the next few days, news about Lü Ming's participation in the Spring Festival Gala continued to circulate, significantly increasing the Gala's popularity compared to previous years, especially among the younger generation.

In recent years, with economic development and the diversification of entertainment options, the Spring Festival Gala has lost its popularity among the younger generation, and many people are not even particularly interested in it.

However, the news that Lü Ming would participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala has increased the younger generation's anticipation for the event.

Originally, everyone thought that even if Lü Ming appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, he would sing "Ode to Young China," after all, the song is so widely sung, and it can even be said that Lü Ming completely opened up his national popularity with this song.

But no one expected that Lü Ming would choose another song, a song they had never heard before.

Although people are not fond of the Spring Festival Gala production team, they also know that they would never say that just any song can be included in the Spring Festival Gala.

Since it was selected by the Spring Festival Gala program team and Lü Ming, this song must be pretty good.

Especially in the last two days, there have been frequent leaks of inside information and sources, saying that this is a new song that Lü Ming wrote in just a few days, that its quality is no less than "Ode to Young China", and even that some Spring Festival Gala staff members revealed that Feng Xiaogang and other members of the Spring Festival Gala directing team couldn't help but shed tears after listening to the song, which has made everyone even more curious.

What kind of song could be so good that it could move a professional like Feng Xiaogang to tears?
As for the online claim that Lü Ming spent a few days creating the work, and that its quality was no less than that of "A Young China's Manifesto," no one seemed to take it seriously.

How many days?
Is its quality no less than that of "A Young China"?
How can it be!

Even if people don't deny Lü Ming's talent, and don't believe that Lü Ming could create a new song of comparable quality to "Ode to Young China" in just a few days, it's most likely just propaganda from the Spring Festival Gala production team.

Compared to the heated discussions online, Lü Ming was not paying attention to these messages at the moment.

In the past few days, Lü Ming's assistant, following Lü Ming's instructions, has been calling some of the candidates Lü Ming had previously selected. Most of the unknown actors were fine, but some of the candidates for important roles were a bit worried, and many of them asked to talk to Lü Ming.

"Brother Baoqiang!"

After listening to his assistant's words, Lü Ming thought for a moment and then called Bao Qiang.

As one of the two male leads in Lü Ming's "Detective Chinatown," Bao Qiang's character Tang Ren can be considered the soul of the entire film.

The reason why the movie "Detective Chinatown" was so successful in the previous life was largely due to Bao Qiang.

If possible, Lü Ming would not want to replace some of the key characters, especially Bao Qiang, the soul of the character. It would not be easy to find an actor who could portray Tang Ren so vividly.

However, after receiving Lü Ming's call, Bao Qiang hesitated and did not give Lü Ming a reply.

"I'm not saying anything more, I'll take this role!"

On the other side, Baoqiang, who was on his way home, immediately realized why Lü Ming was calling when he received the call. Looking at the photos in his hand, he couldn't help but say with a hint of resentment.

To be honest, as a celebrity who came from humble beginnings, Bao Qiang has always had a good reputation in the industry for his conduct and interpersonal skills.

Baoqiang has never refused to help any friend in the industry who asks for his assistance. Moreover, Baoqiang personally thinks highly of Lü Ming, and their relationship has always been quite good, both in previous programs and in their everyday interactions.

So when Baoqiang first received the call from Lü Ming's assistant, he intended to accept Lü Ming's invitation.

Putting aside the possibility that making this movie could further his relationship with Lü Ming, even if it doesn't succeed this time, there will be more opportunities for collaboration in the future.

On the other hand, the character sketch that Lu Ming's assistant sent him was quite good, and the whole script and story didn't seem bad either. It wasn't the kind of thing that was made up or filled with shoddy work. It might actually turn into a good movie.

However, just as Bao Qiang expressed some ideas, his agent Song Zhe quickly stepped forward and stopped him.

According to Song Zhe, Lü Ming's film has absolutely no chance of success. If it fails, it will be even more difficult for Lü Ming to enter the film industry in the future, so that favor is worthless.

Besides, Baoqiang is an artist under Huayue Entertainment.

Although Baoqiang's popularity and reputation mean that his relationship with Huayue is not one of superior and subordinate but rather more like a cooperative one, he should at least give Huayue some face and there is no need to offend Huayue to the point of no return.

Especially now that Huayue has made it public, if Baoqiang, an artist under Huayue, collaborates with Lü Ming at this time, how will people view Huayue?
After being persuaded by his agent Song Zhe, Bao Qiang hesitated, unsure whether he should accept Lü Ming's invitation.

However, recently, his wife had heard some rumors and started whispering in Baoqiang's ear, telling him to listen to Song Zhe and not accept Lü Ming's invitation.

However, this made Baoqiang suspicious. He remembered some rumors from a while ago and secretly asked someone to help investigate his agent and his wife.

Today, the investigators sent Baoqiang some photos.

After seeing these photos, Baoqiang finally understood why his wife was speaking up for his agent. They were sleeping in the same bed, so naturally they were speaking in unison.

Thinking of this, Bao Qiang, who had been somewhat hesitant, naturally had no more hesitation and immediately accepted Lü Ming's invitation.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Baoqiang!"

After hearing Baoqiang's answer on the other end of the phone, Lü Ming glanced at his worried assistant beside him and was somewhat surprised. He wondered why Baoqiang had agreed so readily, leaving him unable to say the words of persuasion he had originally planned.

After dealing with Bao Qiang, Lü Ming called Chen Chichi and Xiao Yang repeatedly to persuade them.

Chen Chichi and Xiao Yang were actually somewhat tempted by Lü Ming's invitation, but they still hoped to have a personal talk with him.

Since "iPartment" years ago, Chen Chichi's career in the entertainment industry seems to have been shackled. He has never been able to get rid of the role of "Zeng Xiaoxian", and the audience has not been able to accept it.

In recent years, due to setbacks in his career in the entertainment industry, Chen Chichi has had to shift his focus to the variety show scene.

Although he has made some name for himself because of "Running Man," it would be a lie to say that Chen Hechi doesn't want to be an actor.

After receiving Lu Ming's introduction and assurances, Chen Chichi quickly accepted Lu Ming's invitation to play the role of the police chief.

As for the threat from Huayue?
If Bao Qiang isn't afraid, then Chen Chichi is even less worried.

It's important to understand that although Chen Chichi's fame and status are not as high as Bao Qiang's, his family background is better. Director Chen is a relative of his, so he doesn't care about Hua Yue's attitude at all.

Compared to Chen Chichi's extensive considerations, Xiao Yang's approach was much simpler. He had already agreed, but simply hoped to have a chat with Lü Ming.

As an online singer, becoming an actor is Xiao Yang's dream.

Xiao Yang really didn't know how Lü Ming knew his name. The gap between them was too big. Lü Ming was an absolute king in the Chinese entertainment industry, while he was just a nobody.

After a brief chat with Lü Ming, Xiao Yang quickly became convinced that Lü Ming was not joking and genuinely intended to invite him to play a small supporting role in Lü Ming's film.

If Chen Chichi and Bao Qiang weren't worried about Hua Yue, then Xiao Yang could be said to be completely unaware of the meaning of fear.

Anyway, he has no reputation in the entertainment industry, so even if he is blacklisted, it will not have any impact on Xiao Yang.

With these key personnel confirmed, preparations for the entire "Detective Chinatown" movie are almost complete.

As Lü Ming's directorial debut on the big screen, he quickly held a press conference to officially announce his new film, "Detective Chinatown".

After news broke that Lü Ming would be directing and filming his own "Detective Chinatown" movie, it quickly sparked heated discussions online.

After all, when Lü Ming first said he wanted to make a movie, everyone thought he was just joking. Even if he did make one, it would just be a collaboration with someone else. No one expected that Lü Ming would actually decide to make it himself.

Becoming a director is no easy feat.

While there was heated discussion online about Lü Ming's "Detective Chinatown," Lü Ming himself made a grand appearance on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

At the crucial time approaching midnight, the song "Where Has the Time Gone?" brought countless viewers to tears, with many listening to the song while preparing to go home.

No one expected that Lü Ming's song "Where Has the Time Gone" would be so influential, not only on par with "Ode to Young China," but even surpassing it by several points.

As the Spring Festival Gala came to an end, Lü Ming's "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" quickly took over the top spot on the trending searches, becoming the number one drama series during a hiatus on video platforms such as Tencent Video and iQiyi. The popularity of Hu Bayi, played by Lü Ming, not only did not disappoint, but also rose even higher, making him a king-level figure in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

At the end of the year, "Detective Chinatown," which Lü Ming had been preparing for and filming for a year, was finally released. It competed with "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," starring Wu Qian, and not only defeated Wu Qian's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," but also set a new box office record in the Chinese entertainment industry.

A multi-talented king in film, television, music, and variety shows!

The most prestigious title bestowed upon Lü Ming by the Chinese entertainment industry! (End of Chapter)
