Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Although Guo Qilin is the lead comedian on the crosstalk stage, his skills as the supporting comedian are also quite strong.

No wonder he's a crosstalk performer; his tongue is incredibly smooth.

They are also incredibly smooth when it comes to flattery.

"Brother Yan, I admire those of you with high education the most, unlike me who didn't even finish junior high school."

Although his words had a hint of flattery, Gu Zhiyan could tell that he was quite sincere.

It's also clear that this child still harbors resentment about dropping out of junior high school.

"Academic qualifications do not represent ability. A person can be without a diploma, but they cannot be without culture. Just read more books in the future."

Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. Since it involved other people's family matters, Gu Zhiyan couldn't say much.

"What are you two talking about?"

A voice rang out, interrupting Gu Zhiyan and Guo Qilin's conversation.

"Song Tie!" Gu Zhiyan blurted out upon seeing the newcomer.

There was no way around it; it was a conditioned reflex. Gu Zhiyan had liked the actress Song Yi in his previous life, especially her role as Yu Manli in "The Disguiser," which left him feeling uneasy for a long time.

When surfing the internet, I got used to calling him Song Tie, Song Tie.

Speaking of which, this girl looks quite different from Da Tian Tian when she wears a cheongsam.

"My name is Song Yi, Yi, not Tie!" Song Yi was speechless and gave Gu Zhiyan a coquettish glare.

She was initially apprehensive about acting alongside Gu Zhiyan. Although Gu Zhiyan had a good reputation, who knew if it was true or not?

These top celebrities are not easy to deal with.

Now it seems that Gu Zhiyan is indeed as rumored: a nice person with no airs.

"Oh, isn't that what netizens call you? Everyone's quite puzzled, wondering why such a pretty girl is called Song Tie?"

Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, Song Yi realized that Gu Zhiyan had definitely called her that on purpose. Come to think of it, a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University couldn't possibly not know how to read, right?

Gu Zhiyan: That's not necessarily true. After all, even the presidents of top universities can mispronounce words.

"I think you did it on purpose. Don't call him Song Tie anymore, it sounds awful."

"Okay, Tiezi." Gu Zhiyan readily agreed; if he couldn't be called "Song Tie," then he wouldn't be called "Song Tie."

Song Yi: ...

"You rude guy, you should call me 'sister' by right, I'm older than you."

"You're wrong. You should call me 'brother.' I'm Fan Xian, and you're Fan Ruoruo." Gu Zhiyan shook his head.

"Brother, can you stop calling me that?" Song Yinuo said softly.

Gu Zhiyan was immediately taken aback. He thought Song Yi would continue to argue with him, but he didn't expect her to change her expression in an instant and start acting cute.

No wonder he's an actor.

"Hmm, you're a quick learner. I'll look after you on set from now on."

"Then Ruoruo thanks you in advance, brother."

Wow, you've really gotten into acting.

Guo Qilin, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, felt that the two were flirting.

As expected of Brother Yan, he lives up to his reputation!

Hmm, I need to be more careful on set in the future and stay away from these actresses. I can't let Brother Yan misunderstand anything.

Li Qing, Li Chun, and Chen Yao all clearly have a special relationship with Brother Yan, and it's not impossible that the person in front of us will be the same in the future...

I can't speak for other aspects, but at least he's quite adept at reading people and situations.

At the same time, the press conference venue suddenly became noisy.

Chen Daoming, the "top influencer in the uncle circle," has arrived.

It is said that Chen Daoming was originally determined not to take on the TV series "Joy of Life", but it was his son-in-law who persuaded him to accept it.

Oh, Chen Daoming's son-in-law is one of the investors in this TV series.

This veteran actor, known to the public for his imperial roles, is not just an actor; he is also the chairman of the China Film Association. It is no exaggeration to say that he is highly respected.

So as soon as he arrived, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and people came forward to greet him.

"Let's go and pay our respects to our seniors." Gu Zhiyan waved his hand.

"Brother Yan, you go ahead. I'm just a nobody, I'm not qualified to get involved." Guo Qilin shook his head like a rattle drum.

"He's not a tiger, he won't eat people, what's there to be afraid of?" Gu Zhiyan said with exasperation when she saw Guo Qilin's cowardly appearance.

He just looks a bit serious. Director Chen is like that all the time, but he's actually very kind and approachable in private.

Guo Qilin: That's Chen Daoming! Just one glance from him makes me a little nervous.

"Brother Yan, please let my brother go."

"Alright then," Gu Zhiyan ignored Guo Qilin and turned to Song Yi: "Ruoruo, do you want to come with me?"

"I...I think I'll pass."

Song Yi's performance wasn't much better than Guo Qilin's.

"You guys... never mind, I'll go by myself."

Gu Zhiyan shook her head and walked over by herself.

Song Yi: My adopted older brother is really brave!

Sure enough, Gu Zhiyan found that she hadn't guessed wrong; Chen Daoming wasn't as scary as she thought.

Before he could even say hello, Chen Daoming, seeing him approach, greeted him with a broad smile: "Oh, Fan Xian is here."

"Your subject Fan Xian has come to pay his respects to Your Majesty."

Wow, this young man is quite something. In the entertainment industry, which young person doesn't treat him with utmost respect, not even daring to breathe loudly?

I've never seen anyone as calm and composed as Gu Zhiyan.

He knew Gu Zhiyan, this young man; who in the entertainment industry hadn't heard of this rising star who had become famous in the last two years?

I heard he's a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University; he's really something.

Having not encountered a young person who piqued his interest for a long time, Chen Daoming became intrigued: "Oh? Then why don't you kneel before me?"

"Your Majesty, this scene is not in the script."

"Haha, you little rascal..." Chen Daoming laughed heartily and pointed at Gu Zhiyan.

This scene surprised many people. Why would Chen Daoming, who is usually serious and even stern, treat Gu Zhiyan differently?

It's worth noting that Chen Daoming has never really been interested in young, popular male celebrities.

The way everyone looked at Gu Zhiyan immediately changed.

Guo Qilin: Brother Yan is awesome, he can even handle Chen Daoming.

Song Yi: This cheap older brother is indeed extraordinary.

Chen Yao: Brother Xiao Yan is still as amazing as ever!

All the main creators were present, and the press conference for the start of filming of the TV series officially began.

After all the formalities were completed, there was an interactive session where the media and audience members asked questions.

Gu Zhiyan and Chen Daoming were naturally the focus of media attention.

These were all minor incidents for them, and they handled them with ease and composure.

As soon as the press conference ended, the related topic became a trending topic on social media.
