Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

After hearing Chen Daoming's relayed words, Wang Er hurriedly left. A bunch of troublesome things were waiting to be dealt with. His heart was bleeding, but he was also extremely relieved.

Although the losses were heavy, there is still room for recovery as long as Gu Zhiyan agrees not to interfere again.

Compared to the Wang brothers' hectic schedule, Gu Zhiyan's life was much more comfortable and carefree, with his daily routine of filming and communicating with girls.

As filming of the TV series proceeded smoothly, Chen Yao and Li Qing finished filming and left the set one after another.

That's right, Li Qing, who played the female lead, finished filming even earlier than Song Yi.

Unfortunately, although Li Qing is the female lead, she spends most of her time as a "sidekick" to the male lead, and her screen time is not as outstanding as that of Song Yi, who is a supporting female character.

Ms. Li Qing finally landed the lead role in a big-budget TV series, but her screen time was pitifully small.

Li Qing had complained about this to Gu Zhiyan, who just smiled and didn't say anything more.

What's the point of having a lot of screen time if the TV series is lukewarm?

"Joy of Life" is a hugely popular drama, and after the series aired, not only the main characters but even the supporting characters became incredibly popular, making many people in the industry extremely envious. It's no exaggeration to say that "everyone got a piece of the action."

However, Li Qing only complained a little. In fact, she was already very satisfied. Playing a couple with Gu Zhiyan, and as the male and female leads, would make other people extremely envious.

For example, Li Yitong, Jin Cheng, Meng Ziyi...

Oh, those two from Xinjiang must be incredibly envious. Thinking of this, Li Qing even felt a little smug.

Whether Dilraba is envious or not is unknown, but Nazha, being a love-obsessed person, is definitely envious and has taken action.

She is currently vying for the lead role in a TV series adapted from the modern romance novel "Stewed Squid with Honey" by online author Mo Bao Fei Bao.

However, her competitors were too strong, and she had almost no advantage.

Yang Zi debuted as a child star, and the sitcom "Home with Kids" established her extremely high popularity. However, because the character was so deeply ingrained in people's minds, her appearance changed after entering adolescence, which led to a narrowing of her acting roles and even suggestions to give up acting.

However, the film "Battle of Changsha" successfully helped her shed her child star label, and her acting skills gained widespread recognition in the industry.

Subsequently, she played the unlikable but genuine "Qiu Yingying" in "Ode to Joy," which, while generating controversy, also proved her ability to portray complex characters.

To be honest, from all aspects, Naza is indeed no match for him.

This was before "Ashes of Love," the drama that helped Yang Zi rise to become a top female celebrity born in the 90s, was even broadcast.

The only thing that Nazha has over Yang Zi is that he's better looking—well, much better looking.

However, being too good-looking is not always an advantage, as it can easily lead to being labeled as a "pretty face".

Based on feedback from various sources, it's almost certain that Naza will be eliminated.

Nazha was unwilling to give up and sought help from Cai Yinong.

"President Cai, the company needs to work harder! I really want to play this role." Na Zha looked at Cai Yinong with a wronged expression.

"Nazha, the company has done everything it should have done, but I'm powerless to do anything more."

Speaking of this, Cai Yinong is also filled with sorrow. Not to mention that Na Zha is now vying for the female lead role, even Chen Yao's supporting role in "Joy of Life" was still secured through Gu Zhiyan's efforts.

It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years... Back in the day...

I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more upset I get!

However, thinking about Chen Yao's situation, Cai Yinong had an idea, and it seemed that there might be a way.

"Mr. Cai, is there really no other way?" Na Zha asked, looking disappointed.

Seeing Nazha's expression, Cai Yinong felt even worse; every look in her eyes seemed to say: the boss is incompetent.

Cai Yinong made a tough decision and decided to give up completely.

One by one, they've all been taken advantage of by Gu Zhiyan. They're his own women, so if he doesn't put in the effort, who will?

Besides, as a member of her "family," Cai Yinong feels perfectly justified in using Gu Zhiyan.

It is true that with a single thought, the world expands.

Cai Yinong even wanted to ask Gu Zhiyan if he was still accepting new members, and if other female artists under Tang Ren's company could also help mentor them.

Even if Gu Zhiyan had a different idea, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to "sacrifice" herself.

Gu Zhiyan: ...

That old woman is dreaming!

"Nazha, I have a good idea here. Would you like to try it?" Cai Yinong, who was very insightful, coaxed Nazha.

"President Cai, what's the solution? Tell me!"

Upon hearing Cai Yinong say that she had a solution, Na Zha's eyes immediately lit up.

"Ahem... Well, you can tell the production company that you can get Gu Zhiyan to play the male lead in this TV series. They'll guarantee to give you the female lead role, and no matter who else comes, they won't be able to take it away."

"Really? If Xiao Yan plays the male lead, they'll give me the female lead role?" Na Zha asked, still somewhat doubtful.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem."

Cai Yinong: This silly girl has absolutely no idea about Gu Zhiyan's current industry status!

As long as Gu Zhiyan stars in it, it's guaranteed to be a hit drama with high viewership ratings; this is based on past successes.

Moreover, Gu Zhiyan is now a movie star, the only "10 billion yuan box office man" in Chinese-language films to date. For him to "condescend" to star in a modern romance film, or even a TV series, is a stroke of good luck for the production company.

Let alone asking for a female lead, if you make any other requests, the other party will happily nod and agree.

"Isn't it wrong to lie like this?" Naza asked after a moment's hesitation.

"How can you say I'm lying? I'm telling you to really go and get Gu Zhiyan to play the male lead." Cai Yinong rubbed her forehead and said speechlessly.

This silly girl is hopeless.

Sure enough, while God opens a window for people, He also closes a door.

They gave her beauty, but closed a door called "intelligence."

Gu Zhiyan? That's a prodigy, he's not among them.

"This...this isn't really appropriate, is it? What if Brother Yan is inconvenienced? I don't want to cause him any trouble."

Nazha was still hesitant.

Cai Yinong: You brat, you're hopelessly infatuated with love. You're still thinking about Gu Zhiyan.

"Why don't you not make such definitive statements? Just tell the production company that you've tried your best to get Gu Zhiyan to act in the film. They'll believe you. After all, it's no secret in the industry that your relationship with Gu Zhiyan is special. As for the outcome... well, whatever the outcome, they'll wait. Let's keep them calm first."

Cai Yinong paused for a moment, then continued, "Then, you should sound out Gu Zhiyan's opinion. What if he agrees? As for whether it will bother him, let him decide for himself. Gu Zhiyan is much smarter than you."

"That's right, Brother Yan is the smartest." Na Zha nodded hurriedly.

Upon seeing Na Zha's reaction, Cai Yinong immediately felt that everything was settled.

It would be most appropriate for Nazha to approach Gu Zhiyan herself; she wouldn't have to lower herself to beg him.

Hiding behind the scenes and devising strategies suited her perfectly.

I have a plan: I'll act first and report later!
