Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Gu Zhiyan replaced Li Qing and sat down at the mahjong table.

After playing several rounds of mahjong, Chen Daoming began to question his life.

Is this kid really that lucky?

"Again!" Chen Daoming refused to believe in bad luck today.

"Uncle Ming, it's getting late, let's play again tomorrow," Gu Zhiyan advised.

"Two more rounds, two more rounds, then we'll call it a day." Chen Daoming refused to "give up easily."

"Alright, the last two laps." Gu Zhiyan nodded.

It seems Chen Daoming hasn't given up.

Gamblers always think they can turn the tables, but little do they know...

"To be continued tomorrow!"

After two laps, Chen Daoming left with just that one sentence.

They're still not convinced and plan to get revenge tomorrow.

As Chen Daoming left, the others looked at Gu Zhiyan as if they had seen a ghost.

God of Gamblers!

Is this what a top student is like? They're better than everyone else at everything?

They just don't understand the world of top students!

"Brother Xiaoyan, won't Teacher Chen be angry if you do this?" Yaomei asked with some concern.

"Yeah, bro, you're too ruthless. You've driven Teacher Chen to the brink of despair," Song Yi chimed in.

The others also looked worried.

"It's alright, you all underestimate Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen has a broad perspective, don't worry about it." Gu Zhiyan wasn't worried at all.

Angry? Angry about what?

It's just losing at mahjong, no big deal.

If Chen Daoming gets angry over something like this, then he's nothing special.

Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey bro, you won pretty much today, you have to treat us to dinner!"

As soon as Xin Zhilei made this suggestion, everyone else expressed their agreement.

They've even started discussing what to eat.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Gu Zhiyan naturally wouldn't refuse: "Treating you to dinner is no problem, but I have to play mahjong with Teacher Chen tomorrow, and I'm going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal the day after tomorrow. Wait for me to come back, and I'll treat you all to a big meal then. You can discuss what you want to eat in the next few days."

I estimate that the money I win won won't even cover the cost of this meal, and I'll probably have to spend a lot more.

It's just for fun, nothing serious.

However, the cost of a meal is just a drop in the bucket.

It's getting late, and we have filming tomorrow, so everyone should go home and rest.

Not long after Gu Zhiyan returned to her room, Li Qing arrived.

These people seem to have planned it all out; they've never had a car accident, and their schedules are remarkably regular.

Gu Zhiyan even suspected that they had planned this in private.

"Brother Xiaoyan, you're amazing! Could you teach me how to play mahjong sometime?"

Li Qing's mahjong skills are limited to simply knowing how to play.

"We can talk about that later when we have time. Let me teach you how to play poker first."

Next, you play a six, and I play a nine. It's a lively game...

……

With so many people talking, the news that Gu Zhiyan had utterly defeated Chen Daoming at the mahjong table by the next day had already spread throughout the entire crew.

Fortunately, everyone was aware of the situation and deliberately avoided mentioning Chen Daoming during the conversation.

Everyone knew, except Chen Daoming, who was unaware that everyone else knew.

This actor, who specializes in playing emperors, is just like a foolish ruler from ancient times, completely deceived by everyone.

As soon as today's filming wrapped up, Chen Daoming couldn't wait to invite everyone to play mahjong.

The result was naturally no different from yesterday.

Chen Daoming was numb. It seemed that Gu Zhiyan was truly skilled at cards, not just lucky.

"Are you going to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning." Gu Zhiyan nodded.

"Go early and come back early, don't delay the filming."

Chen Daoming said this, but that's not what he really thought: Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave, preferably a few days later, so I can regain my confidence!

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Today, Chen Daoming didn't ask to play two more rounds like he did yesterday, so the game ended earlier than yesterday.

"Brother Xiaoyan, when will I be able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala?" After a period of exercise, Yao Mei asked with great anticipation when the topic of Gu Zhiyan appearing on the Spring Festival Gala came up.

"Don't worry, this day will come sooner or later."

Gu Zhiyan wasn't just trying to comfort her; Yao Mei did indeed appear on the Spring Festival Gala later on.

That year at the Spring Festival Gala, Yao Mei's French curly hair, pink shirt paired with jeans and white high heels stunned netizens, instantly making her an internet sensation and earning her the title of "Most Beautiful Leading Lady of the Spring Festival Gala."

"Mmm." Yao Mei nodded obediently.

……

There's a saying that the Spring Festival Gala programs "change in taste and change in timing."

The former aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal and style of the program.

The latter ensures the program length is accurate by cutting or adjusting it to match key moments such as the midnight bell.

Therefore, even if a program passes the initial review, there is no guarantee that it will be broadcast live on New Year's Eve; it may be modified or replaced until the last minute.

Gu Zhiyan had no such worries. When the Spring Festival Gala director invited him to participate, just to be on the safe side, he originally wanted him to sing an old song.

With the new year bringing new beginnings, Gu Zhiyan, having already prepared several songs suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage, proposed creating a new song.

Upon hearing this, the director said, "Okay, the new song is even better, but the quality must be guaranteed. Send me the demo first."

So, Gu Zhiyan sent over the recorded demo of the song.

After listening to it, the director immediately called Gu Zhiyan and said that the song was great and it was the one!

They promised that the song would definitely appear on this year's Spring Festival Gala stage.

Gu Zhiyan didn't think the director was fooling him, because the song was worth it.

The CCTV studio, the rehearsal site for the Spring Festival Gala.

Most people look nervous when faced with an unknown fate.

Gu Zhiyan also saw many acquaintances, but everyone was busy and didn't have time to chat for long. They simply greeted each other and went about their own business.

Even Da Tian Tian only came over for a short chat, expressed her longing, and then left in a hurry.

In this busy and tense atmosphere, Gu Zhiyan is an outlier.

Sigh, this is really boring.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before it was Gu Zhiyan's turn to perform on stage.

Gu Zhiyan was naturally not intimidated at all; the Spring Festival Gala stage was no different from any other stage.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, before he even began to sing, the judges in the audience were already nodding in approval.

Excellent! Superb poise, confident and composed, with a steady stage presence...

Gu Zhiyan didn't think much about it and focused entirely on singing.

I begin to paint this land, and the bloodline of our nation stretches for thousands of miles.

For six centuries, the descendants of the dragon have weathered many storms.

……

A single scale, an inch of heart; the story is so poignant, I can't bear to listen.

To lift up the nation's destiny and revive it once again.

Wandering the heavens and earth in search of dragon scales, the dragon's bloodline has grown into a lush forest.

……

That's right, Gu Zhiyan will be singing "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year.

This song, with its poetic lyrics, showcases the grandeur of the Forbidden City and the profound heritage of Chinese civilization.

The song's melody is grand and majestic, with a Chinese style as its foundation, creating a magnificent musical imagery reminiscent of the Forbidden City.

The melody also contains a kind of national spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Gu Zhiyan's singing skills are beyond question. He used his deep and magnetic voice and added the highly explosive "angry voice" technique to sing out the "backbone" and pride of China.

When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted!
