Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

The news that the finale of "My Love from the Star" achieved a viewership rating of over 15% was like a bombshell dropped into the entertainment industry, and the resulting waves swept across the entire sector.

This figure not only broke the record for the highest viewership since the launch of Jiangsu Satellite TV, but also broke the viewership ceiling of provincial satellite TV stations in the past decade, becoming a phenomenal symbol.

At this point, many people will say, shouldn't the highest-rated provincial satellite TV show be "Princess Pearl" on Tomato TV?

The viewership ratings for "My Fair Princess" were very high. In the era of social media, many content creators and entertainment news outlets have reported that the first season of "My Fair Princess" had an average viewership rating of 47%, with a peak rating of 62.8%; the second season had an average viewership rating of 54%, with a peak rating of 65.95%; especially in 1998, "My Fair Princess" achieved an average viewership rating of 62.8% across all of China, creating a viewership legend at the time!

This so-called viewership rating generally refers to the viewership of the broadcasting TV station in that region. Don't you think that if the viewership rating across all of China exceeds 60%, wouldn't that mean that almost half of all TV sets in China were watching "Princess Pearl" during the same time slot? Even the Spring Festival Gala wouldn't dare to boast like that.

A 15% viewership rating is truly a huge surprise, making Jiangsu TV a sensation in the industry.

It's worth noting that Wang Jinghua contacted not only Jiangsu TV, but also several other satellite TV stations and radio stations. This made the executives of those TV stations who missed out on "My Love from the Star" regret their decision.

To celebrate the phenomenal ratings of "My Love from the Star," Jiangsu TV planned to spend a fortune on a grand celebration banquet. Overnight, the phone lines at Jiangsu TV's reception desk were flooded with calls.

"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry, the guest list has already been finalized..."

"Chairman Zhang, we really want to make it happen, but the venue is just too limited..."

"Sister Wang, please consider us for the next event..."

Invitations to the celebration party for "My Love from the Star" instantly became the most sought-after resource in the industry.

The agent of a top-tier actor went directly to the station director's office: "We're willing to bring our own makeup and hair, we just need one entry spot."

Even more outrageous, the team of a popular young actress offered: "We can cover part of the celebration banquet expenses, as long as our artist sits at Zhang Yang's table."

Jiangsu TV had to upgrade the venue at the last minute, and even so, the guest list was expanded three times, which made the person hosting the celebration banquet both excited and worried.

On the night of the celebration banquet, the hotel was packed with fans and reporters early in the morning. The flashbulbs on both sides of the red carpet were as bright as day, a scene comparable to some award ceremonies that love to divide up the spoils.

Interestingly, many celebrities who were not invited attended in full regalia, forcing the organizers of the celebration banquet to add more seats.

When a young actress was interviewed by reporters, she struck a pose and said, "I've always been a fan of 'My Love from the Star,' and I watch every episode."

Even a director who had publicly questioned "My Love from the Star" went around saying with a glass of wine in hand, "I knew long ago that 'My Love from the Star' would be a hit."

Inside the banquet hall, a huge crystal chandelier illuminates the space as if it were daytime, and a custom-made carpet with a soft, luxurious feel is laid out underfoot. The walls are inlaid with carved panels of golden nanmu wood, showcasing understated luxury everywhere.

When Zhang Yang and Fan Bingbing walked into the venue side by side, the entire room fell silent for a second before erupting into even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Yang-ge, long time no see!"

It was Chen Xiao who spoke. After all, he was one of the main actors in "My Love from the Star" and was quite familiar with Zhang Yang.

Seeing how close Chen Xiao and Zhang Yang were, many people decided to befriend Chen Xiao, hoping to indirectly get in touch with Zhang Yang.

After exchanging pleasantries, Fan Bingbing introduced Zhang Yang to some people she knew. Zhang Yang calmly raised his glass in response to everyone's greetings. Amidst the clinking of glasses, Fan Bingbing murmured, "This is the entertainment industry; it only ever smiles at the successful."

The highlight of the celebration banquet was the speech by senior executives of Jiangsu TV. The station director himself went on stage, beaming with excitement, his voice slightly raised.

"Three months ago, when I made the decision to purchase 'My Love from the Star,' although I was optimistic about it, I never expected it to achieve such dazzling success. 'My Love from the Star' is not only a phenomenal TV series, but also a milestone in Jiangsu TV's rise!"

At this point, he raised his glass and cast a precise glance at Zhang Yang and Fan Bingbing in the audience.

"Here, I would like to express my special thanks to two key contributors: Ms. Fan Bingbing, your professionalism, your perseverance, and your insightful investment are the cornerstones of this drama's success!"

All eyes were on Fan Bingbing, who wore a bright red off-shoulder dress, smiled and raised her glass in a toast, exuding a powerful aura, still the queen who commanded the entire room.

The station director then changed the subject, his tone filled with deeper emotion and admiration: "And Mr. Zhang Yang..."

He paused deliberately to ensure everyone's attention was focused: "I must say, you are a benefactor to Jiangsu TV, a rare miracle in the entertainment industry. From being initially underestimated to now being universally adored, you have proven with your talent what true value is! Your performance, your vision, and your relentless pursuit of content have taught us all a lesson. On behalf of the entire Jiangsu TV team, I toast to you, thanking you for bringing us this unparalleled honor!"

As the director of Litchi TV finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue, and all eyes turned to Zhang Yang.

Today, Zhang Yang was dressed in a custom-made dark blue velvet suit from Armani. With his upright posture, he calmly raised his glass under the spotlight and toasted the station director remotely. A calm yet confident smile played on his lips. His composed demeanor showed that he was a person who could achieve great things.

After the speeches, the banquet entered a free exchange period, and Zhang Yang and Fan Bingbing naturally became the absolute focus of the entire event.

Fan Bingbing wore a beige high-end gown, the ostrich feather-decorated skirt swaying gently with her steps, and the diamond necklace around her neck reflected dazzling light under the lights.

She calmly took Zhang Yang's arm, accepting the attention of the entire audience.

Look at how smug she is.

A female celebrity not far from Fan Bingbing whispered to her companion, "She just got the role in 'My Love from the Star' by sheer luck, and now she's the biggest winner."

Another actress chimed in sourly, "I heard that many high-end luxury brands want her to be their spokesperson. I'm so envious! Oh, if only the 'My Love from the Star' production team had invited me to play Zhang Wangshu back then."

In a corner of the banquet, Yu Na silently observed the interaction between Fan Bingbing and Zhang Yang, trying to glean more information from their body language. She noticed that Zhang Yang would slightly turn his body when speaking to Fan Bingbing, a subconscious sign of respect, indicating that Fan Bingbing held a special place in his heart.

Yu Na was truly envious of Fan Bingbing. She had once become famous for her role as Luo Jingjing in "What Can Save You, My Love?", but unfortunately, her subsequent resources didn't keep up, and her fame remained neither high nor low. Now, she wanted to get close to Zhang Yang, this big shot.

"How exactly can I attract Zhang Yang's attention?"
