Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Sister Zhao has made great progress recently, which is a testament to Gu Zhiyan's tireless guidance on her acting skills.

The key point is that Sister Zhao herself realized that the frequent announcements were affecting her filming performance, so she postponed all the announcements that could be postponed, and tried to deal with the ones that she couldn't postpone in one go.

"Aren't you going to the celebration party for 'Wolf Warrior 2' breaking 6 billion?" Sister Zhao asked during a break from filming.

Wolf Warrior 2 broke the 6 billion yuan mark, generating more buzz and discussion than its predecessor and featuring Gu Zhiyan, a top-tier celebrity.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the Chinese people's obsession with "rounding up".

Hmm? We're almost six billion?

That needs to be rounded up!

Six billion and fifty-nine-nine billion are not the same thing.

Zhang Jianing, Gao Lu, Liu Lin, and the others also looked at Gu Zhiyan with curiosity.

As everyone gradually got into character, they weren't as tense as they were at the beginning, and they had time to chat and brag with Gu Zhiyan.

Even Zhu Yilong, the "stubborn one," relaxed quite a bit and started playing games under Gu Zhiyan's "wise leadership."

At this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Zhiyan was full of envy.

Six billion in box office revenue!

It nearly doubled the box office record for Chinese-language films, jumping directly from 3 billion to 4 billion and 5 billion, raising the bar by three levels.

Wolf Warrior 2 has become the only Chinese film in the world's top 100 films, and the first Chinese and Asian film to enter the top 100 of the world's films. In the past, this list was dominated by Hollywood films.

Although Gu Zhiyan is not the male lead, his role adds immense value to the character.

Even Li Yitong, the female lead with fewer scenes, benefited greatly.

Although she had little to do with the success of this film, she truly deserves the title of leading lady in a film that grossed 6 billion yuan.

Through "Wolf Warrior 2", she directly opened the door to the film industry, transforming into a movie star. Compared with her predecessors who were struggling to gain a foothold in the film industry, she directly overtook them by taking a detour.

It was a game-changer for the post-90s actresses.

This propelled Li Yitong to stardom, transforming her from a third- or fourth-tier celebrity into a top-tier second-tier artist.

But she, as a second-tier actress, is much more sought after in the film industry than many first-tier actresses.

This is because she lacks a bit of background; otherwise, she could easily have become a top-tier celebrity.

Of course, given her current momentum, as long as she maintains a stable and continuous output of works and doesn't end up like Lu Jingshan in her previous life, it's only a matter of time before she becomes a top-tier celebrity.

Zhu Yilong couldn't help but fantasize about how great it would be if he were the one to play the role of Gu Zhiyan!

Of course, he wasn't the only one with this idea.

Even top-tier actresses like Zhao Liying, Tang Yan, and Liu Yifei are incredibly envious of Li Yitong.

However, they also knew that even if Gu Zhiyan had actually approached them back then, they would not have been able to act in the film.

Filming in Africa, playing the lead role, and being a supporting actress to Wu Jing, an artist whose status was not as high as theirs at the time—it's all unthinkable.

Gu Zhiyan shook her head: "No, it's pointless. Besides, I'll be very busy in the second half of the year, and I simply won't have much time to waste on this kind of thing."

Wu Jing was extremely excited. He had been getting a lot of flak lately, but he was also enjoying a lot of glory.

He truly put his saying into practice: "If you're awesome, you can't just be awesome for nothing." He participated in numerous seminars and symposiums and gave countless interviews.

He talked a lot and offended quite a few people.

However, Wu Jing really doesn't have any major flaws; minor personality and private life defects can't bring him down at all.

As a leading figure in contemporary Chinese cinema, Wu Jing remains unshaken by any external storms, unless he suffers a major moral transgression.

Wu Jing had invited Gu Zhiyan to these events many times, but he had declined them all.

As the most popular top-tier contestant right now, Gu Zhiyan's goals are not much smaller than Wu Jingxiao's.

Keep a low profile!

Sneaking into the village, avoid shooting; Wu Jing can shield us from bullets.

Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, everyone couldn't help but admire him.

So young, yet so composed; there's no reason why she's become so popular in just over two years.

Gu Zhiyan wasn't lying when he said he was busy. After filming "The Story of Minglan" ended, he immediately joined the cast of "How Long Will I Love U," and he also had many business engagements to attend in between.

Moreover, a "heavyweight" player will be visiting in a few days.

"Cyber ​​Daji" is coming.

Guo Fan has already called Gu Zhiyan and will be coming to visit the set in the next couple of days.

Gu Zhiyan was fully aware of Guo Fan's purpose in coming here.

Gu Zhiyan will definitely be following up on this groundbreaking Chinese science fiction film.

He had the money ready.

As long as Guo Fan dares to ask, he dares to give it to him.

He'll give you whatever you ask for; if it's not enough, he can borrow more.

But it's likely that Guo Fan couldn't possibly use up all the balance in his bank account.

Even though the revenue sharing from "Wolf Warrior 2" hasn't arrived yet, the previous film salary plus album revenue is almost enough.

Gu Zhiyan's album sales have exceeded 200 million yuan. Even after deducting the portions taken by the platform and distributors, he will still receive more than 120 million yuan.

A few days later, Guo Fan arrived as promised.

In a circle of directors who are generally considered "oddballs," Guo Fan's appearance stands out, though of course it can't compare to Gu Zhiyan's.

He was quite handsome, but when he appeared in front of Gu Zhiyan, he looked a bit unkempt, as if he hadn't slept for days.

When Guo Fan arrived, Gu Zhiyan was about to start filming a scene. The two exchanged brief greetings, and Gu Zhiyan arranged for Xiuxiu to greet him, as he needed to finish filming the scene first.

Xiuxiu was wary of Guo Fan. She had inquired about the "Wandering Earth" project; the industry didn't have high hopes for it, the male lead had run away, investors had withdrawn their funding, and the director was begging for money everywhere...

Moreover, director Guo Fan had only directed two youth romance films before.

What makes it even more intimidating is that this is a science fiction movie!

Does China have science fiction movies?

The negative buffs are stacked to the maximum!

Compared to "The Wandering Earth", the difficulties encountered by "Wolf Warrior 2" are almost insignificant.

The only thing that made Xiuxiu feel a little better was that Guo Fan, like Xiaoyan, had a law degree.

Perhaps people with a law background all have some particularly amazing hidden skills?

This is also one of the main reasons why Xiuxiu was willing to calm down and listen to Guo Fan's long speech.

However, the moment this person started talking about movies, he completely changed; his eyes became frighteningly bright.

Guo Fan started his scheme to win over Xiuxiu because the moment he met Gu Zhiyan, he sensed that she wasn't someone who could be easily fooled.

There was no reason, just a feeling.

Moreover, in Guo Fan's mind, an agent can at least be half a home for an artist, and some powerful agents can even decide which roles an artist takes on.

Having won over this seemingly gullible young girl, at least half of the purpose of this trip has been achieved.

What Guo Fan didn't know was that although Gu Zhiyan completely "laissez-faire" towards Xiuxiu, letting her do whatever she wanted on a daily basis.

But when it comes to crucial matters, the final decision rests with Gu Zhiyan!
