Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Gu Zhiyan was a little surprised by the box office performance of "How Long Will I Love U" on its opening day, but not too much of a surprise.

If a movie like "Us and Them," filled with melodramatic and overused plots, can gross 2.85 million yuan on its opening day, it's reasonable for "How Long Will I Love U," with its more novel plot, higher quality, stronger cast, and more extensive publicity, to achieve the same result.

Da Tiantian was clearly extremely excited about the box office results. Just a moment ago she was limp as a board, but now she was full of energy.

"Thank you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Da Tian Tian rolled over...

She clearly attributed her success to Gu Zhiyan.

How should I thank you?

Of course, a drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return!

……

As a fantasy romantic comedy, "How Long Will I Love U" accurately captured the viewing demand during the "520" period.

Its lighthearted and fun "corny pickup lines" easter eggs and themes about love and choices have also sparked a lot of discussion and spread.

On May 20th, a Sunday, with the combined boost from both sides, "How Long Will I Love U" set a new single-day box office record, reaching 3.27 million yuan, once again breaking the record for the highest single-day box office for a domestic romance film.

"Tian Tian, ​​it's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Gu Zhiyan said to Da Tiantian, who was still full of energy in the middle of the night, with a helpless expression.

"You go to sleep first, I'll watch for a while longer," Da Tiantian replied without looking up from her phone.

These past few days, Da Tian Tian has been in this state every day. As soon as she finishes a promotional tour, she holds her phone and scrolls through various comments about the movie online, grinning like an idiot at the screen as she scrolls.

She even read some of the positive reviews over and over again, never getting tired of them.

There's nothing we can do; Da Tian Tian has never received such treatment before.

Audiences gave her performance in the film full recognition. Although there were some dissenting voices, they were insignificant. The vast majority of comments were praise, and she received high praise.

"Da Tian Tian is so pretty and cute, I'm a fan now!"

"Da Tian Tian acted very well, beyond my expectations."

"She's really good. After all, she's a professionally trained actress, so she has some acting skills."

"I became a fan of Da Tian Tian after watching 'The Glory of Tang Dynasty,' and this movie certainly didn't disappoint me."

……

Given this situation, Da Tian Tian's excitement is understandable.

Even though Gu Zhiyan played two roles, switching seamlessly between the poor boy Lu Ming and the real estate tycoon Lu Shiyi, delivering a textbook-worthy performance, it still didn't bring as much surprise to the audience as Da Tiantian.

After all, audiences are used to Gu Zhiyan's brilliant performances; it would be news if he ever underperformed.

A top student who has always been number one in the grade has once again achieved first place. But what could be more newsworthy and eye-catching than a class slacker suddenly breaking into the top ten?

"How Long Will I Love U" has grossed over 1.5 billion yuan in its first ten days of release.

Da Tian Tian has completely shed the label of "box office poison".

Of course, besides the praise, there were also some unfriendly voices, among which the loudest were those mocking Da Tian Tian for "clinging to someone's coattails".

Da Tiantian didn't care about these comments at all; she had come here specifically to curry favor with Gu Zhiyan!

Besides, what's wrong with hugging your own man's thigh?

She hugs him not only in the play, but also off-screen, which infuriates those haters.

Da Tian Tian has a good attitude, and her fans have a good attitude too.

Fans know better than anyone what Da Tian Tian's situation was before "How Long Will I Love U". Every movie she made flopped, and she was labeled as "box office poison" and "Da Tian Tian who can't be made famous". But Gu Zhi Yan took her to new heights.

Fans readily accepted this "clinging to someone's coattails" argument, without finding anything wrong with it at all.

"Sucking up to someone's coattails? That's right, that's exactly what it means to suck up to someone's coattails! It's so sweet to be sucking up to someone's coattails, I really hope I can do it a few more times."

"Haha, some fans are getting impatient because they can't hug each other. I bet they'll hug each other more enthusiastically than anyone else if they get the chance."

"This is a classic case of sour grapes, they're just jealous of each other."

"Which female celebrity in the industry wouldn't want to work with Gu Zhiyan? Unfortunately, there's only one Gu Zhiyan, and not just anyone can latch onto his coattails."

"Sucking up to powerful figures? Which female celebrity has the ability to carry the box office on her own? Every single one of them is sucking up to powerful figures!"

"Gu Zhiyan and Da Tiantian have such great chemistry! Da Tiantian, stop just clinging to his coattails, try harder to win Gu Zhiyan over!"

"Support, support! I really want to see them fall in love. It's better to let our Da Tian Tian have a chance than to let someone else have a chance."

……

Da Tian Tian's fans used to be afraid to speak loudly online, because they lacked confidence.

This time, I've finally gotten my revenge!

The haters were also helpless in the face of this reaction from Da Tian Tian's fans.

The point you attack is not only ignored by the other party, but they are even proud of it, and there's nothing you can do about it!

Xu Zheng was the happiest person about the box office success of "How Long Will I Love U".

Based on the current box office trend, it's no problem for the film to break 25 billion yuan, and if we're lucky, 3 billion yuan is not out of the question.

The entire film only cost 30 million to make, and with the marketing and distribution expenses, it only cost a little over 40 million. They made a huge profit!

Following Wu Jing, Xu Zheng became a staunch "Gu Zhiyan fan," praising Gu Zhiyan to the skies on various occasions and clearly stating that inviting Gu Zhiyan to star in the film was the best decision he had ever made and the greatest honor of his life.

When Gu Zhiyan returned to the film crew after finishing the roadshow, the cumulative box office of "How Long Will I Love U" had exceeded 2 billion yuan.

The voices that previously questioned Gu Zhiyan's ability to carry the box office have disappeared, and the internet is now filled with praise for him.

After all, the "burden" Da Tiantian, who countless big stars couldn't carry, took off thanks to Gu Zhiyan. Need I say more about the quality of this box office?

Gu Zhiyan's reputation for "bringing good fortune to his daughters" has become even more widespread.

After all, if Gu Zhiyan can make even the "box office poison" Da Tiantian work, is there anyone he can't make work?

Replace Jing Tian with any of them, they'd be fine too!

Many proactive female celebrities began to try every means to get in touch with Gu Zhiyan, inquiring everywhere about his contact information.

The entertainment industry isn't that big, and many people have Gu Zhiyan's contact information. If you put in a little effort, it's not too difficult to find out.

Recently, Gu Zhiyan has been extremely bothered by a lot of random phone calls, and even received quite daring photos from female celebrities.

Is he that kind of person?

Gu Zhiyan took a quick look at the photos and then deleted them. After all, some of the photos had a high artistic value, and it would be a shame not to take a look.

Those who posted the photos indiscriminately were naturally blocked by him.

You should never associate with this kind of person.

Just as Gu Zhiyan was about to settle down and focus on filming, the entertainment industry was hit by an unprecedented earthquake!
