Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Chapter 140 Nothing Tastes Better Than Dumplings

After Uncle Da finished filming and left, the entire crew worked even harder, each person filled with an inexplicable sense of mission.

The entire crew was like a highly efficient and precise machine, polishing its own cinematic miracle with each passing day and night.

Time flew by and it was almost the end of December. The internet was buzzing that day.

Media outlets photographed the little deer and Piwan together late at night, then they entered Piwan's home together and left in the early hours of the next day.

That same evening, Jia Nailiang was live-streaming from his home.

When a netizen asked him, "Where did the little deer go?", he replied with a smile, "My wife went to get her hair done."

This is how the "getting your hair done" meme was born, full of irony.

When Gu Zhiyan asked for leave to attend Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert amidst Guo Fan's resentful gaze, Zhuo Wei's team, known as "the number one paparazzi in the entertainment industry," released the video, instantly igniting the entire internet. "Little Deer Spends the Night at Pi Wan's House" became explosive news.

The title of "Number One Paparazzo in the Entertainment Industry" is well-deserved; Zhuo Wei's ability to provide solid evidence is truly impressive.

The five bombshells his team exposed – Gao Yuanyuan and Xia Yu's relationship, Ma Yashu's extramarital affair, Dong Jie and Wang Dazhi's passionate kiss, the Wen Zhang Yao Di incident, and Wang Fei and Xie Tingfeng's reunion – remain benchmark cases in the entertainment industry to this day.

Zhuo Wei is very adept at using the public's curiosity about celebrities' privacy and their dissatisfaction with the "mask" of the entertainment industry to portray himself as a "fighter" who exposes the truth and purifies the atmosphere.

This gives his actions a certain "righteousness" in the eyes of some netizens, rather than just being seen as voyeurism.

Justice my ass!

It's all about business.

Zhuo Wei's handling of celebrity scandals is a complex process that integrates intelligence analysis, business negotiation, psychological games, and public opinion manipulation; it is far more complex than simply "posting photos as soon as they are taken."

After being photographed in a scandal, Zhuo Wei's team will not release the information immediately.

The first step is that they spend a lot of time repeatedly watching videos and photos, analyzing details, and ensuring the accuracy of the information.

Furthermore, cross-verification of information is conducted, using other channels such as informants, hotel records, and flight information to corroborate the authenticity of the captured content, forming a complete chain of evidence.

Then, they will judge how "explosive" the scandal is.

Is it a top-tier celebrity or a second- or third-tier star? Is it a relationship, infidelity, or a more serious scandal? These factors determine their subsequent investment and asking price.

Before releasing the evidence, the organizers usually take the initiative to contact the celebrity involved or their management company, informing them of the evidence they have.

If a celebrity's team doesn't want their scandals exposed, they will offer a price to have Zhuo Wei "sell" the photos and videos to them, so that they will never be seen again.

This is what is known as "public relations fee" or "hush money".

At this point, the Zhuowei team will consider whether the price is appropriate; the buyout price must be far higher than the potential revenue that can be generated after the news release.

If the news is significant enough to greatly enhance his and his company's industry standing and reputation, he might be willing to publish it for free.

For example, in the "See you on Monday" incident involving Wen Zhang and Yao Di, it was rumored that the other party offered a very high price, but he still chose to make the announcement in order to establish his reputation for "keeping his word".

If negotiations break down, or if Zhuo Wei decides to release the information proactively, he will employ a well-established "combination punch."

Pre-announcement leaks are a classic tactic of Zhuo Wei.

He would post limericks, cartoons, or vague keywords on platforms such as Weibo, such as "XXX's relationship exposed?" or "See you on Monday," which would spark speculation and heated discussions across the internet, generating several days of anticipation for the official revelation and raising public expectations to the highest level.

Then, instead of just publishing on his own account, he will choose to cooperate with one or more large commercial media outlets to provide exclusive or first-release information, ensuring that the news can reach the widest audience as soon as possible.

Sometimes, instead of releasing all the "concrete evidence" at once, they release some vague evidence first and observe the celebrity's response.

If the other party denies or makes excuses, release clearer videos or photos to "slap them in the face," allowing the incident to continue to gain traction and spread multiple times.

After the announcement, he will closely monitor the responses from the celebrity and their team, and be ready to retaliate or provide new evidence at any time.

Zhuowei's team handles celebrity scandals in a very systematic and professional way, which can be seen as a complete "business process". On this basis, they have put on a cloak of "revealing the truth".

As a top celebrity, has Gu Zhiyan ever been targeted by him?

The answer is definitely yes.

However, Gu Zhiyan nipped this idea in the bud as soon as it emerged.

He directly sent someone to warn Zhuo Wei, someone Zhuo Wei naturally couldn't afford to offend.

Zhuo Wei is the kind of person who prioritizes profit above all else and is the best at weighing pros and cons. Do you really think he's some kind of indomitable fighter who dares to expose the secrets of anyone?

They're just bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They immediately back down when they mess with someone they can't afford to offend.

Zhuo Wei even called to apologize in person, but Gu Zhiyan didn't want to have anything to do with such a person and refused his request to come.

Gu Zhiyan simply told him that it was okay to reveal information, but he should know which information was acceptable and which was not.

Zhuo Wei, being a smart person, naturally understood immediately.

After the "hair appointment" incident was exposed, all parties involved began to respond.

Jia Nailiang posted on Weibo that he believes in the little deer and his friends, and asked everyone to give him some space.

Little Deer explained that they were preparing for a hip-hop themed movie that night, and that they were not the only two people with them. They were also discussing the script, and she thanked Jia Nailiang for his trust.

Pi Wan responded that Jia Nailiang and Xiao Milu are his brother and sister-in-law, and that the lack of avoidance caused the misunderstanding.

They say nothing tastes better than dumplings...

As a close friend, Ma Su stepped forward to explain for Xiao Milu, saying that she was also present at the time and apologized to Jia Nailiang.

Ma Su's private life is quite chaotic, which isn't considered a big deal in the entertainment industry. The key issue is that she likes to hang out with a black man, which is a bit shocking.

Moreover, she is a well-known pimp in the industry, though not of a very high level.

As soon as Gu Zhiyan arrived at the party, he found that almost everyone was talking about this matter.

Watching gossip is human nature, and celebrities are no exception.

Guan Xiaotong, in particular, seems to always be at the forefront of gossip, extremely excited. Before the party even started, she enthusiastically ran over to discuss the matter with Gu Zhiyan.

As the gala began, Gu Zhiyan had the privilege of witnessing what netizens called "the most awkward performance ever."

Xiao Milu and Jia Nailiang took to the stage to sing the love song "It's All You." As soon as the two stepped onto the stage, the eyes of the entire audience began to turn meaningful.

These two have pretty strong mental fortitude; they were able to keep the performance going even under these circumstances.

However, there was no eye contact throughout the entire performance, and his expression was stiff.

They are more like two independent singers performing their own parts, rather than a loving couple singing a love song together.

Jia Nailiang's eyes darted around as if he were looking for his contact lenses, while the little deer twisted and turned more enthusiastically than the backup dancers, as if nothing had happened.

This isn't just a variety show performance; it's a real-life version of "The Birth of an Actor."

Gu Zhiyan felt that Xiao Milu should really open a psychological quality training class, after all, there are very few people who can remain calm and bouncy around their husbands in this situation.

At this point, the live stream chat was filled with comments like "getting his hair done," "feel sorry for Liangliang," and "awkward," and the scene in the live stream was completely out of control.

"I want you to give me sweet love"—the lyrics are truly ironic.
