Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

How long it takes for someone to go from being unknown to being famous is unknown to others, but Zhang Yang's answer is 5 days!

In just five days, with the hit drama "My Love from the Star," Zhang Yang became the hottest male celebrity. If we were to make a comparison, he would be comparable to the F4 who burst onto the scene in the year 5.

With a viewership rating exceeding 8 and an average rating exceeding 6, this not only sets a record for the fastest viewership growth on Jiangsu TV, but also marks the highest viewership rating for a Jiangsu TV drama in the past five years.

In this visual feast, the most dazzling focus is undoubtedly Zhang Yang, who plays Professor Li Qingyan. The young man who was initially ridiculed as "Fan Bingbing's pretty boy" has now completed an epic leap from "unknown" to "known to everyone".

Discussions about Zhang Yang are everywhere online, including portal websites, forums, and QQ groups, but Zhang Yang has no time to pay attention to them. He is currently focused on rediscovering his own body.

What is Zhang Yang doing right now? He's in a state of emo.

That was a system that could help him reach the pinnacle, and it just collapsed like that. Fortunately, the data leakage gave him a lot of benefits. Suddenly, he gained knowledge such as fighting techniques, music theory, and cinematic language in his mind. Things like his voice have also been modified. Otherwise, he would have really cried his eyes out.

Before the system crashed, Zhang Yang checked his attribute panel: Energy 15 (peak value for a normal healthy adult is 10), Constitution 15 (peak value for a normal healthy adult is 10), Strength 15 (peak value for a normal healthy adult is 10), Agility 15 (peak value for a normal healthy adult is 10), and Willpower 5 (peak value for a normal healthy adult is 10).

The other four attributes are fine, but what's with this 5 in willpower? Doesn't that mean he can't resist temptation at all?

Damn it, is Zhang Yang really that kind of person? He, Zhang Yang, swears that he is truly irreconcilable with gambling and drugs.

After a moment of reflection, Zhang Yang continued to familiarize himself with his body. Tong Xiaoya had already left; she had been quite frightened last night. Fortunately, Zhang Yang had stopped her from making any unnecessary moves, otherwise, the whole world would have known.

Zhang Yang's current state is quite miraculous, as if an ordinary person has gained a century's worth of internal energy, and he needs to adapt to every move he makes.

After trying to sing "The Mute," Zhang Yang discovered that he could produce an electronic sound effect without the help of a million-dollar sound engineer.

"Haha, this can be used as a trump card. Next time someone questions my singing skills, I can just go all out against them."

"I've not only gained so many benefits, but all the music, movies, TV series, novels and other things from my past life are stored in my mind like a hard drive. So even without the system, I can still be a long-lasting star in the entertainment industry."

Thinking about the wonderful life ahead, Zhang Yang's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

Just as Zhang Yang was fantasizing about discussing scripts with various beautiful female celebrities, his phone suddenly rang. He saw that it was Wang Jinghua calling and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Sister Hua, are you here now to speak on behalf of which TV station?"

Wang Jinghua coughed awkwardly on the other end of the phone, then said seriously, "Zhang Yang, I'm not here to persuade you, but my son is pestering me. He knows I know you and insists that I ask this big star for a few autographed photos."

"Sister Hua, please stop teasing me. Someone as busy as you wouldn't be calling to ask for an autograph."

Wang Jinghua toned down her joking tone: "Zhang Yang, I really have something to say when I call this time. Recently, quite a few investors have contacted me, all very interested in your Aikun Fried Chicken. You know, ever since 'My Love from the Star' became a hit, the concept of 'fried chicken and beer' has completely gone viral."

As she spoke, Wang Jinghua named several well-known investment institutions, all prominent figures in the industry: "They all want to get involved, to help Aikun's rapid development, and to build it into our own Chinese fried chicken brand. What do you think?"

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Yang said in a half-joking tone, "Sister Hua, do I look like that kind of entrepreneur?"

Zhang Yang's words left Wang Jinghua completely bewildered: "Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, since so many investors are optimistic about it, why don't I just sell Aikun as a package deal?"

"Sold?"

Zhang Yang's words truly surprised Wang Jinghua: "Zhang Yang, are you sure? Aikun Fried Chicken is a golden goose!"

Zhang Yang wasn't surprised by Wang Jinghua's astonishment. He calmly replied, "Sister Hua, it's precisely because it's a golden goose that I'm planning to sell it. After all, my energy is limited, and acting is my main job. Running a rapidly expanding catering business isn't our forte."

Zhang Yang's words made Wang Jinghua fall into deep thought. As the co-founder of Kyushu Investment, she immediately realized the value contained in Zhang Yang's words.

A moment later, she raised her head, her eyes sharpening: "Zhang Yang, since you've decided to sell, let's keep the profits within the family. Let Kyushu Investment get involved first, and we'll buy a portion of the shares. This way, we can maintain the upper hand in the negotiations and also get a share of the profits in the final transaction."

Zhang Yang wasn't too concerned about Wang Jinghua wanting a piece of the pie. He figured it didn't matter who he sold it to; if Wang Jinghua wanted a ride, he'd give her one.

"Sister Hua, it's fine for Kyushu Investment to participate, but I have three conditions: First, the valuation must be fair; second, the transaction must be quick; and third, the transaction must be in cash, I don't accept stocks or anything like that."

Zhang Yang's words delighted Wang Jinghua, but she still offered a final word of advice: "Zhang Yang, are you really not going to regret it? Aikun Fried Chicken has so much capital backing it. As long as you manage it well, you can definitely make it the top fried chicken brand in China."

"Sister Hua, thank you for your kindness, but I know my own family's affairs. If Kyushu Company wants to get involved, you need to push this matter forward as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will push forward with the progress of Kyushu Investment. Also, you can rest assured, I will definitely help you find a good buyer for Aikun Fried Chicken."

After hanging up Wang Jinghua's call, Zhang Yang pondered what to do next.

Now, he has become a popular star and has initially established himself in the entertainment industry. The question now is whether to continue filming TV series or movies.

In the end, Zhang Yang decided to stay calm and not be reckless. In 2008, the film market had not yet taken off. Even if they managed to make "Ne Zha" and get a box office of 300 to 500 million yuan, they would be lucky.

It's not that the movie is bad, but piracy is rampant these days. Even if you don't have any problems, the movie might be leaked as soon as it's released. This has happened more than once or twice.

If you want to break into the film market, you'll have to wait until the end of 09 or 10, when the number of big screens in theaters explodes, before the box office will see a leapfrog growth.

Therefore, Zhang Yang still wants to produce a TV series to solidify his popularity. As for which TV series to choose, he will naturally take advantage of the popularity of Korean idol dramas.
