Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

"I only ask that my younger brother not abandon his older sister."

Qin Lan looked at Gu Zhiyan with anticipation.

"Don't worry, sister, I would never abandon you." Gu Zhiyan nodded solemnly.

"Yes, I believe you, sister," Qin Lan said softly, leaning on Gu Zhiyan's shoulder.

This woman is too naive; she's so easily swayed by a man's promises.

However, although Gu Zhiyan is a womanizer, he never plays with emotions and is serious and responsible in every relationship.

He would never let a girl down as long as she was willing to walk with him through thick and thin.

"How many days does Sister plan to stay in the capital?" Gu Zhiyan asked, stroking Qin Lan's shoulder.

"Stay for two or three days. My sister postponed her schedule to come here, so we can't stay too long," Qin Lan said, hugging Gu Zhiyan tightly with both arms, her eyes gazing into his misty gaze. "Love me..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyan raised his hand and pulled off her bra strap, then looked down...

Under Gu Zhiyan's persuasive tactics, Qin Lan quickly became limp and powerless.

A fierce battle soon broke out.

……

Three days later, Qin Lan left.

She originally wanted to stay for two more days, but her agent was getting anxious and kept calling to urge her on. If she delayed any longer, he would just kill her.

After seeing Qin Lan off, Gu Zhiyan immediately got down to business.

That is to take Liu Shishi home.

"Will my auntie dislike me?"

Liu Shishi asked with a worried expression, after all, she was a divorced woman.

"How could I possibly dislike you? Don't worry, Mom loves watching your TV dramas. She specifically told me to bring you home for her to see."

Seeing Liu Shishi's anxious and uncertain expression, Gu Zhiyan offered words of comfort.

If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Shishi will be the first daughter-in-law to let her mother hold her grandson or granddaughter, and for that reason alone, her mother will have to treat Liu Shishi well.

Sure enough, Mom was incredibly enthusiastic when she saw Liu Shishi, pulling her aside to chat and ask her all sorts of questions.

Seeing Gu Ma's reaction, Liu Shishi finally felt relieved.

Yes, my mother-in-law is a very good person, a million times better than the previous one. She treats her even better than her own daughter.

Gu Zhiyan left after only a few days at home.

He was heading to Hunan Province to attend the 12th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, which was being held in Changsha.

As expected, Liu Shishi was asked by her mother to stay for a while.

Gu Zhiyan arrived in Changshi two days early because he was too busy.

The day before, he was going to meet Tong Yaya in secret; the day after, he was going to spend time with Reba.

Both of them were going to attend this year's Golden Eagle Awards, and they had called Gu Zhiyan a few days earlier.

Having finally found a chance to meet Gu Zhiyan, Tong Yaya naturally wouldn't miss it.

Similarly, Dilraba also misses Xiao Yan Ge.

Gu Zhiyan could only transform into a time management master and keep these two apart.

Tong Yaya arrived before him. After getting off the plane, Gu Zhiyan went straight to the hotel that Tong Yaya had booked.

Upon meeting, Tong Yaya couldn't wait to pull Gu Zhiyan aside for a heated and in-depth conversation.

Balcony, bathroom, sofa, bedroom...

Everywhere you look, there are traces left from the exchanges.

After several exchanges, Gu Zhiyan, holding Tong Yaya who was limp and powerless in his arms, asked, "What have you been busy with lately, sister?"

"I've been studying the script lately, and I'll be joining the film crew in a few days," Tong Yaya said softly, nestled in Gu Zhiyan's arms.

"What kind of play is it?"

"In 'A Writer's Odyssey,' directed by Lu Yang, I had a special appearance, and my role wasn't very big."

Gu Zhiyan knew about this movie; Yang Mi had talked to him about it a while ago because Yang Mi was the female lead in the movie.

Gu Zhiyan: "I've heard of this movie; the concept is pretty good."

"Hmm, it's quite novel," Tong Yaya nodded, then asked, "By the way, little brother, do you have a chance to win Best Actor at this year's Golden Eagle Awards?"

"I might win the Most Popular Actor award, but I don't have much of a chance at Best Actor. I've been making movies most of the last two years, and I don't have any outstanding TV dramas to show for it," Gu Zhiyan said, shaking his head.

The last TV series in which Gu Zhiyan played the male lead and has already aired was "Love O2O," but the chances of winning Best Actor for this kind of youth idol drama are basically nonexistent.

If it were "The Story of Minglan," it might have won an award, but "The Story of Minglan" hasn't aired yet.

According to Gu Zhiyan's memory, this year's Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor should be won by Li Yifeng.

This guy beat out a host of talented male actors, including Sun Weimin, He Bing, Zhang Yi, Zhang Jiayi, and Liu Yunlong, to win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

Therefore, after winning the award, he was dubbed "Water Emperor" by netizens.

Similarly, Dilraba won the Best Actress award at this year's Golden Eagle Awards, but was ridiculed by netizens as a "water queen" (meaning a poorly received award).

However, Dilraba's experience was much worse than Li Yifeng's.

The majority of netizens were not convinced by Dilraba's award. How could she win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress with a remake of the TV series "Pretty Li Huizhen"?

Dissatisfied netizens have come to the conclusion that the Golden Eagle Awards are highly inflated, and that Dilireba single-handedly brought the Golden Eagle Awards down from their pedestal, rendering them meaningless.

One was a water emperor, the other a water empress, yet their fates were drastically different.

Dilraba experienced an unprecedented media storm, while Li Yifeng's award did not cause much of a stir.

In Gu Zhiyan's opinion, the fact that Dilraba and Li Yifeng were able to beat out a group of talented actors to win the award must have involved their company working behind the scenes.

The next day, Reba's words confirmed this.

"Brother Yan, you might win Best Actress at this year's Golden Eagle Awards." Afterwards, Dilraba said, leaning on Gu Zhiyan's chest.

Although she had been repeatedly instructed not to reveal any of this information to anyone, she had nothing she couldn't tell Xiao Yan.

"Who told you that?" Gu Zhiyan asked curiously.

Dilraba: "The company asked me to prepare an acceptance speech, saying that I have a high chance of winning this time, but I am a little uneasy. I know that if I win the award, it will not convince the public."

Gu Zhiyan: "Do you want to win this award?"

Dilraba: "I want to."

Gu Zhiyan: "If you were asked to give up now, would you?"

Dilraba shook her head: "I don't want to give up."

Dilraba's reaction was quite normal; as an actress, no one would give up an award that was within their grasp.

"Then you'd better be prepared, you might have to face a lot of negative comments," Gu Zhiyan warned.

Gu Zhiyan did not advise Dilraba not to accept the award; that would be completely insensitive.

If he were in Dilraba's position, he wouldn't give up an award that was within his grasp.

Let's focus on winning the trophy first. The public ridicule and such are nothing to worry about; they'll pass eventually.

Moreover, if you miss this opportunity, it's uncertain whether you'll have another chance to win an award in the future; this could very well be the only one in your lifetime.

Gu Zhiyan already had a plan in mind. He would have Xiuxiu mobilize "800 marketing accounts" to drag Li Yifeng into the mess and share the fire for Dilraba.

Gu Zhiyan felt perfectly justified in attacking Li Yifeng, even though the latter had been badmouthing him behind his back.

Since there's still no result from Zhuo Wei's side, he'll start collecting some interest first!
