Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Gu Zhiyan sensed that someone was watching him, turned his head, and met Tong Yaya's gaze.

Huh, why is this woman suddenly blushing?

And those eyes look strangely familiar...

Full of doubt, Gu Zhiyan looked at Da Tiantian again, and good heavens, her face was much redder than Tong Yaya's.

What are these two women talking about? They both seem a bit off.

Gu Zhiyan was also very curious and planned to ask Da Tiantian about it privately.

After lunch, they chatted for a while before leaving the Mushroom House.

"Tian Tian, ​​what were you and Tong Ya Ya talking about during dinner?" Gu Zhiyan couldn't help but ask as soon as they got in the car.

This time, Xu Zheng learned his lesson and sat directly in the passenger seat, refusing to sit in the back as a third wheel.

"Ah, no, we didn't talk about anything." Da Tiantian's tone sounded slightly flustered.

I definitely can't let Gu Zhiyan know about such a private matter.

"Are they saying bad things about me?" Gu Zhiyan decided to try and trick Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian quickly explained, "No, no, I was just praising you for being so amazing."

They praised him for being amazing, and they even blushed. Just think about the way Tong Yaya looked at him.

Gu Zhiyan instantly guessed what the two were talking about.

Da Tian Tian is really naive. Isn't she afraid of someone stealing her home?

"Don't tell everyone everything in the future." Gu Zhiyan rubbed Da Tiantian's head.

"I...I didn't say anything wrong, and Ya Ya wouldn't say anything wrong either." Da Tian Tian was a little unsure of herself.

That's practically an admission of guilt.

Gu Zhiyan shook his head speechlessly. This silly girl.

No wonder Tong Yaya contacted him before leaving the Mushroom House, exchanged contact information, and whispered a few words to him.

First, she praised his cooking, then expressed that she would like to eat his cooking again if she had the chance.

Is it simply because she wants to eat his cooking?

Gu Zhiyan didn't see it that way, but why was she a little excited?

The entertainment industry is indeed a big dye vat. He was originally a model young man with such upright values, but now he has been unknowingly led astray.

Sigh, it's all because of the bad environment!

In the following days, Gu Zhiyan took Da Tiantian on several shows to promote "How Long Will I Love U".

After a week-long promotional trip before the film's release, Gu Zhiyan finally returned to the set.

During this time, Gu Zhiyan also talked with Xu Zheng about his new movie, which was also in preparation for writing the movie song.

Although Gu Zhiyan already had a song, she still had to put on an act.

A few days after returning to the film crew, Gu Zhiyan sent the song she had written to Xu Zheng, which was naturally the song "As Long As We Are Ordinary" from her previous life.

Moreover, the movie theme song was sung by Gu Zhiyan and Zhang Liangying.

Xu Zheng readily agreed to Gu Zhiyan's suggestion that Zhang Liangying sing with him.

He was extremely satisfied with this song.

Besides, he already owes Gu Zhiyan a lot of favors, so how could he possibly refuse such a small thing?

Besides, Zhang Liangying is quite talented; she's a recognized OST queen in the industry, not some unknown nobody.

After confirming the matter with Xu Zheng, Gu Zhiyan immediately called Zhang Liangying to tell her.

Zhang Liangying was overjoyed upon receiving the news and immediately said she would come to visit Gu Zhiyan on set in a few days.

In a few days?

In a few days, Gu Zhiyan will be leaving the film crew again to go to Beijing to attend the premiere of "How Long Will I Love U".

Zhang Liangying probably won't see anyone if she comes at this time.

The film's promotional tour will begin immediately after the premiere.

The time that followed was truly restless.

After hearing Gu Zhiyan's explanation, Zhang Liangying was a little disappointed but also expressed her understanding, and told Gu Zhiyan that she would attend the premiere of "How Long Will I Love U".

Thinking about this, Gu Zhiyan still felt a bit overwhelmed.

There were just too many older and younger women who wanted to come and support them. Except for a few who were too busy to come, almost everyone who could come did, so Gu Zhiyan didn't have to ask for permission.

These women really put their hearts into Gu Zhiyan's first solo film project.

Although it was a bit of a headache, Gu Zhiyan wasn't too worried because the older and younger women were all very understanding. At worst, they would just have a little spat if they didn't like each other, but they definitely wouldn't go too far and make things difficult for Gu Zhiyan.

The Northeastern tigress, the Sichuan-Chongqing tyrannosaurus, the Hubei Eba, the Shandong female Chiyou... none of them exist!

Gu Zhiyan was a bit overwhelmed, while Xu Zheng and Su Lun were overjoyed. These celebrities are not so easy to invite on a regular basis.

Besides, it's really not worth asking for a favor at the premiere of a low-budget romance film.

As expected, Brother Yan is still the best!

Xu Zheng felt that inviting Gu Zhiyan to play the male lead was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Just look at the current online buzz; even before the premiere of "How Long Will I Love U" has been held, there's already a lot of discussion about the movie.

Most people came for the male lead, Gu Zhiyan.

His fans are already itching to buy tickets to see the movie.

Don't underestimate Gu Zhiyan's fans. Not only is his number of fans the largest on the entire internet, but they are also the most willing to spend money. Just look at the sales of fashion magazines Gu Zhiyan has shot and the merchandise related to his movies and TV series.

The sales volume and revenue were simply outrageous.

Moreover, Gu Zhiyan has a huge number of wealthy female fans. Whenever a movie starring Gu Zhiyan is released, a large number of fans will book out the entire theater to support it.

Unlike some popular celebrities who boast about having a huge number of fans across the internet and create incredibly impressive data on various platforms, their true colors are revealed when it comes to actually spending real money.

Later, a martial arts film starring a top-tier celebrity experienced the bizarre phenomenon of negative box office growth.

Fans from the entertainment industry have brought their "data manipulation" tactics directly to the film industry.

Various "brother fans" bought refundable movie tickets to boost their ratings under the organization of their fan leaders, and then refunded the tickets at the last minute. In some cases, the refund amount was even more than the original purchase price, resulting in the bizarre scene of a shrinking total box office.

You can keep boosting the TV series' ratings, then brag about it and that's it.

Movies require real money to buy tickets, yet they still do this kind of thing. They want to do it but are unwilling to spend the money. It's truly speechless.

Compared to movies, data in TV dramas is much easier to falsify, and that's what "data workers" do.

While there are various underhanded tactics involved in movie box office manipulation, it is infinitely more difficult to fake and is much easier to expose.

Take, for example, the recently released film "Us and Them," directed by Liu Ruoying and heavily reliant on nostalgia.

On the film's opening day, approximately 38 abnormal ticket refunds appeared on the Maoyan platform, involving box office revenue of approximately 1300 million yuan.

The normal refund rate in the industry is between 0.2% and 0.3%, but the refund rate for this film once reached as high as about 6%, which is obviously abnormal.

This is a new type of fraudulent method that uses pre-sale data to manipulate cinema scheduling, obtain high screening quotas, and then collectively refunds tickets, essentially a "get-rich-quick" scheme.

This tactic was discovered the first time it appeared and had a very negative impact on the film's reputation.

Therefore, some top celebrities are very unrealistic and their popularity is largely based on hype from their fan base.

Xu Zheng knew all about this old fox.

In his view, compared to those "fake celebrities," Gu Zhiyan is the true top star.

Brother Yan, you're really tough!
