Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Recording songs, filming movies...

Before they knew it, Gu Zhiyan's scenes had come to an end.

He was "unemployed" once again.

However, he did not leave Shanghai, but instead moved directly into Tang Yan's house in Shanghai.

How could he refuse his older sister's kind offer?

During this period of unemployment, Gu Zhiyan began to pick up books again.

The reason he did this was because he had registered for this year's bar exam.

I can't waste all these years of learning; I need to get the certification first.

If he ever gets tired of the entertainment industry, he might just go back to his old ways.

Preparing for the bar exam was relatively easy. Gu Zhiyan was already a top student, and after being reborn, she found that her brain was even more useful, practically a "super brain".

Is this some kind of hidden perk for reborn individuals?

Xiuxiu has been busy registering her studio during this time.

Let's set up the framework while we still have time; it's something we'll have to do sooner or later anyway.

Gu Zhiyan spends her days reading books, playing games, and taking walks downstairs whenever she has free time.

Life was so pleasant.

Before they knew it, it was mid-to-late September, and Gu Zhiyan had completed the two-day bar exam.

The moment I stepped out of the exam room, I felt a great sense of relief.

Clear-headed!

"Brother Xiaoyan, how did the exam go?" As soon as Gu Zhiyan came out of the exam room, Xiuxiu, who was waiting outside, asked him.

There was no other way; Xiuxiu insisted on coming to accompany her during the exam.

"good."

Once Gu Zhiyan said that, Xiuxiu understood.

"Okay" means "very good," and "know a little" means "know a lot."

Brother Xiaoyan is usually too humble and low-key when he speaks.

Gu Zhiyan had some free time again. Although Xiuxiu had tried her best to find roles for him, the results were not ideal.

This isn't Xiuxiu's problem; it's Gu Zhiyan's problem.

It's really difficult for newcomers without a company or connections to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.

Even if Gu Zhiyan is incredibly talented, it won't be easy for her to get a role in a TV series she's in before it airs and before she has any fame.

"The Journey of Flower" was lucky, while "My Sunshine" relied on Zhao Liying's connections.

With nothing to do, Gu Zhiyan wasn't in a hurry. Over the next period of time, he reorganized all the songs that he remembered from that time that hadn't been released yet, and arranged for Xiuxiu to register the copyrights.

As a reborn person, it would be a disservice to the title of reborn person if I didn't copy something.

He even considered copying all the famous online novels from his previous life, but he couldn't remember them at all. Who could remember those millions of words at a time?

I really admire those who are reborn and write online novels.

"Xiao Gu, come to Beijing Tangren Film and Television. There's a role you'd like to audition for."

In mid-November, Gu Zhiyan received a phone call from Lin Yufen.

It seems that the drama Lin Yufen mentioned last time, which was scheduled to start filming at the end of this year or early next year, has entered the preparation stage.

Although it was called an audition, Lin Yufen had already secured the role for Gu Zhiyan.

The reason he was asked to make this trip was because Tang Ren's CEO, Cai Yinong, wanted to meet Gu Zhiyan.

This is inextricably linked to Lin Yufen.

This is the first time Lin Yufen has taken the initiative to ask for a role, even though they have worked together many times.

This courtesy must be given.

Moreover, Lin Yufen praised Gu Zhiyan to the skies in front of Cai Yinong.

He also told Cai Yinong: Gu Zhiyan hasn't signed with a company yet, so it would definitely be a good deal to sign him if we had the chance.

Lin Yufen meant well; after all, it's really difficult to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry without a company or connections.

Little did they know that Gu Zhiyan had no intention of signing with a company at all.

Having spent most of his previous life as a slave, and then given a second chance with a system by his side, to go back to being a slave for others is simply insane!

Cai Yinong immediately became interested in Gu Zhiyan and planned to meet him in person. If Gu Zhiyan was really as good as Lin Yufen said, then she would sign the contract.

To be honest, Tangren Film & Television is getting worse every year.

It's no surprise that Tangren's popularity is no less than that of Noon Sunshine today. In the period drama market, it is unparalleled, standing out from the crowd, with every production becoming a hit.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Heroines of the Yang Family, The Legendary Twins, Young Warriors of the Yang Clan, Scarlet Heart, The Flying Fairy from Heaven, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, The Legend of the Mermaid...

"Scarlet Heart" can be considered the last glorious chapter of Tang Dynasty dramas.

Subsequently, Tangren Media broadcast dramas such as "The Legend of the Wind", "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" and "Qin's Moon", which generated buzz and popularity, but received mixed reviews and their ratings were not ideal.

During the same period, Yu Zheng's team continued to produce results.

His "Palace" series, "Beauty" series, "Legend of Lu Zhen" and other works have all achieved great success, with almost every one of them being a hit.

Tang Ren's dramas are profound in their themes and excellent in their production. Moreover, most of the stories end in tragedy, giving them a classic tragic romance feel.

Yu Zheng's dramas are fast-paced, brightly colored, and feature vivid characters, making them more like the fast-paced, exciting novels we read today.

As people's pace of life accelerates and life pressures increase, dramas that people can sit down and watch are often not as popular as those female-centric, wish-fulfillment novels.

Ancient costume dramas have a direct counterpoint to Yu Zheng, and the fantasy dramas that Yu Zheng excels at also encountered Huanrui Century in 2014.

The 2014 TV series "Swords of Legends" was a huge hit, dominating the summer season and making Huanrui Century a fortune and a national sensation.

Before Yu Zheng came Huan Rui.

The Tang people were in an awkward situation, caught between a rock and a hard place.

While facing external threats, internal troubles also continued.

First, Lin Gengxin took the company to court and terminated her contract.

Now, the company's popular young actor, Jiang Jinfu, has a dispute with the company over contract issues and has proposed to terminate the contract.

The company's top female employee, Liu Shishi, has lost interest in her career and started dating Longrich.

The current top star, Gulnazar, can't hold her own.

If it weren't for Hu Ge holding things together, the company would be finished.

Cai Yinong is exhausted. She naturally takes great care of promising young talents.

However, Gu Zhiyan was unaware of these matters for the time being, treating it as a regular audition, and set off for the capital.

Gu Zhiyan was not alone on this trip; Xiuxiu accompanied him as well.

On the way, Xiuxiu was a little down: "Brother Xiaoyan, am I really useless?"

"What do you mean?"

"We haven't found you a role after all this time, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"It's not your fault, I'm the one who held you back. After all, I'm not famous yet. Don't worry, once I'm famous, you'll have plenty to do..."

Little girls are so easy to coax. After a few words, Xiuxiu was full of energy again.

Xiuxiu: Brother Xiaoyan is such a nice guy!

Not only did he not blame her, he also took all the responsibility upon himself.

No wonder even a top-tier celebrity like Tang Yan has fallen for her.

After getting off the high-speed train, Gu Zhiyan took Xiuxiu straight to Tangren Film and Television.

As for why people take the high-speed rail instead of flying, it's naturally because the high-speed rail is more cost-effective.

Gu Zhiyan: What cost-effectiveness? It's just because the airfare is too expensive and I'm too poor.

Unfortunately, as a newcomer, his current salary is pitifully low.

It's normal for the pay to be low, and Gu Zhiyan doesn't care.

The most important thing now is opportunity.

In the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, opportunity is the most important factor for newcomers to make a name for themselves!
