Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

A surprising scene unfolded as female celebrities took turns approaching Gu Zhiyan to exchange pleasantries and say hello.

People like Fan Bingbing and Nini, who had crossed paths with Gu Zhiyan, came over and chatted for a bit. Of course, all the actresses who had close relationships with Gu Zhiyan were also there.

These older and younger women naturally asked Gu Zhiyan about her plans after the event.

There were too many people, and Gu Zhiyan dared not agree to anyone's request. She replied to everyone, and the director only granted her two days off. The filming schedule was heavy, and she had to rush back to the set tonight.

Moreover, Gu Zhiyan did not lie; he assured Guo Fan that he would only take two days off, so as not to delay tomorrow's filming.

Besides this, some of the sisters naturally had other things to do.

Da Mimi then told Gu Zhiyan about her plan to officially announce her divorce.

"Little brother, I'm planning to officially announce my divorce these next few days, so I'll be counting on you from now on," Da Mimi said pitifully.

Gu Zhiyan saw right through her; Yang Mi was definitely acting like a drama queen, and she was much richer than him.

"Don't worry, sister, I'll take care of you from now on," Gu Zhiyan said, playing along with Yang Mi's performance.

"So my love for you wasn't for nothing. But I was just joking. I'll take care of you from now on." Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, Da Mimi laughed very happily.

"Okay, if I ever can't make it in the future, I'll just go live off my sister." Gu Zhiyan glanced at Da Mimi's chest, which trembled as she laughed.

"You want to eat? Then don't rush back today, I'll make sure you eat your fill." Da Mimi puffed out her chest and looked at Gu Zhiyan with seductive eyes.

"I really want to stay, but I have no choice; I have to rush back." Gu Zhiyan shook her head helplessly.

To be honest, he was really tempted to stay just now, but when he thought of the group of older and younger women there, he immediately dismissed the idea.

This is a chaotic battlefield; we can't afford to get hurt.

"Alright, I'll visit you on set when I'm free." Da Mimi didn't say much more.

"I'll be waiting for you anytime, sister. By the way, when do you plan to make the official announcement?"

"I'm still considering the exact date, but it'll probably be around the end of this month. What's up?"

"It's nothing. We'll wait and see. We'll postpone the official announcement for a while. My sister wants to get more trending topics and keep the buzz going for a longer time. I'm afraid someone will steal the spotlight from us."

"What could possibly steal the spotlight from my divorce announcement? Things have been calm in the industry lately, nothing major has happened. What rumors have you heard?" Da Mimi asked curiously.

"I'm not really comfortable saying that. Anyway, if you trust me, just wait and see. We should have a result by the end of this month at the latest."

Under normal circumstances, the public announcement of divorce by Yang Mi, a top-tier celebrity and queen of controversy, would naturally generate a lot of buzz.

But when it comes to "getting your hair done," the outcome is really hard to predict.

In order to see the couple's final performance together, Gu Zhiyan, who originally did not plan to accept any invitations to perform on any TV station's New Year's Eve show, specially accepted the invitation from Hunan TV's New Year's Eve Gala.

"If anyone else said that, I would definitely ignore them, but since you, my little rascal, have said it, I'll listen to you."

Even if Gu Zhiyan's words were unreliable, Yang Mi decided to listen to him. A few days earlier or later wouldn't make much difference; it was more important to let her little brother know that she doted on him.

As soon as Yang Mi left, Da Tiantian immediately ran over.

She pouted and looked at Gu Zhiyan with a pitiful expression.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a public place, she would probably be in tears right now.

Compared to Yang Mi's over-the-top acting, Da Tian Tian's emotions are truly genuine.

"Okay, I'll make time to visit you after I'm done with this busy period," Gu Zhiyan said, making empty promises.

"You said it yourself, don't lie to me."

"I'm absolutely not lying to you." Gu Zhiyan said this with a hint of guilt, as he had been extremely busy lately.

After finally managing to coax Da Tian Tian away, the other sisters came looking for her one by one.

Gu Zhiyan felt like she could open a bakery. She had drawn countless cakes that night. Damn, it was more tiring than filming a movie.

It seems I need to calm down and avoid getting involved with girls in the future.

Gu Zhiyan had just made up her mind to settle down and cultivate her character when Li Qing came to visit. Well, she did, and she brought a girl with her.

Li Qing was still a little confused after being glared at. What was wrong? What had she done wrong?

Could it be that Gu Zhiyan found out that one of their people had secretly asked Xiuxiu for help in getting a role in a TV series?

Gu Zhiyan knew that Li Qing had contacted Xiuxiu, as Xiuxiu had told him about it immediately.

We'll help our own family whenever we can.

This TV series is the first project Gu Zhiyan will take on next year; it's "Joy of Life," adapted from the online novel of the same name.

The contract had already been agreed upon with the production team some time ago, and the production team was naturally overjoyed that Gu Zhiyan could join the show.

You should know that right now, there's a huge line of people wanting Gu Zhiyan to act in movies.

With male-centric dramas flopping one after another these days, to be honest, the production team isn't very confident either. Gu Zhiyan's addition can be seen as adding an extra layer of insurance for the drama's ratings.

As one of the most popular celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the lead actor in a film with a box office of 6 billion yuan, Gu Zhiyan has never lost a film since his debut. His achievements in television dramas are even more remarkable.

As soon as the news of Gu Zhiyan playing the male lead in "Joy of Life" was released, GG merchants flocked to him, and the female roles in the drama immediately attracted fierce competition among female stars in the industry.

Li Qing sought Xiu Xiu's help because the competition for the role was fierce. Although she had a good talk with the production team, it wasn't a sure thing.

Does Xiuxiu have any influence?

Without a doubt, Gu Zhiyan not only plays the male lead in this drama, but his company also has an investment share in it.

The production team spent a lot of money to win over Gu Zhiyan, but it was all worth it.

To put it bluntly, if the production company has already decided on the female lead, and Gu Zhiyan disagrees and refuses to work with them, the production company will immediately replace her.

Gu Zhiyan already has this kind of influence.

He just never acted like a diva; he rarely interfered with the casting process.

This time it was an exception. In addition to speaking up for Li Qing in her bid for the female lead, he also got Chen Yao a minor role.

Actually, this isn't an unreasonable request, and the production team is happy to do it.

Not only that, but in order to accommodate Gu Zhiyan's schedule, the production team also postponed the start date of the TV series.

"Brother Xiaoyan, let me introduce you. This is Lin Yun."

Li Qing, who was glared at, couldn't understand it and was too lazy to think about it anymore. She pulled the girl next to her over and introduced her to Gu Zhiyan.

To be honest, Li Qing was also driven to desperation by Lin Yun. She knew exactly what kind of person Gu Zhiyan was.

Moreover, she got along well with Lin Yun during the filming of "Battle Through the Heavens".

"Hello, Brother Xiaoyan, it's nice to meet you." Lin Yun extended his hand and greeted him generously.

"Hello there."

Gu Zhiyan squeezed the other person's soft, boneless hand, smiled and nodded, then looked at the girl in front of him, a former "Stephen Chow Girl" with very distinctive features...
