Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Last time, Reba and Nazha were drunk and not sober.

This time, I didn't drink a drop and was perfectly sober.

Being awake and being not awake are naturally two different experiences.

In particular, neither of them wanted to fall behind the other.

Can I do this? Will it work?

Who's not up to it? I can do this, you try it!

Come on over!

……

Gu Zhiyan glanced at Reba and Nazha, who were already asleep and cuddling together, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

When we wake up tomorrow morning and see each other's faces, I wonder what we'll think?

Dilraba's feelings were complicated, mainly because she lost again last night.

That shameless fellow villager, he actually did that to her again...

No, no, I must get revenge next time.

No, no, there won't be a next time!

This kind of thing only happens once or countless times, and besides, it's already the second time, so how could it not happen again?

Naza was in a great mood. Although she had temporarily lost to Dilraba in her career, she had won in another area!

However, once the TV series she filmed with Xiao Yan airs, she'll definitely surpass Dilraba.

She had complete confidence in Xiaoyan.

The three of them had breakfast together.

Gu Zhiyan noticed that things had been too quiet between the two of them lately, so she said, "You two should still argue as much as you want from now on. No matter how good your relationship is in private, you still have to put on an act for the outside world."

"I understand, Brother Xiaoyan," Dilraba immediately understood what Gu Zhiyan meant, but she stubbornly insisted, "I don't get along with her."

"Why, Brother Xiaoyan?" Nazha asked with a puzzled look.

"Idiot, do you even need to ask?" Dilraba said with a look of "disdain".

"You're the idiot, tell me if you dare," Nazha retorted defiantly.

Dilraba: "Do you understand that 1+1 is greater than 2?"

Naza: "Doesn't 1 + 1 equal 2?"

Dilraba: ...

She began to doubt her own intelligence, how could she be fighting back and forth with such a big idiot?

"Think for yourself, you're hopelessly stupid."

As soon as she said it, Reba felt instantly great, and the frustration of losing to her fellow villager last night vanished in an instant.

"Brother Yan, look at her!"

Naza never thought she wasn't smart enough; it must be that Reba had a problem with her communication skills.

He couldn't explain it clearly, or maybe he was just pretending to know what he didn't, and he even mocked her.

Gu Zhiyan explained, "You two are a unique kind of CP, um, a 'frenemies CP'. Netizens love to see you two not getting along, and your fans are used to it. The more you two argue, the more topics there are, and the higher the popularity, which is good for both of you."

Why do you think there are titles like "Four Great Actresses", "Four Little Actresses", and "Four Dan and Two Bing"?

Some people really weren't qualified, but why didn't the others strongly object? It's actually a win-win situation. Once the name is established, everyone will immediately recognize it when it's mentioned: "Oh, it's so-and-so, and so-and-so too."

Well, the later "Four Ordinary Women" were the ones who really tried to piggyback on her fame.

If you can't make it to the top, then drag everyone down with you.

"Oh, I've got Xiao Yan's knowledge." Na Zha nodded in sudden realization.

As expected, Dilraba couldn't explain it clearly, but she was still very smart and understood as soon as Xiao Yan explained it.

It's quite interesting to think about. They're best friends in private, but mortal enemies in public. How fun!

Dilraba: Pshaw, who said we were best friends for a lifetime?

Naza: Isn't that the truth?

……

After having breakfast and seeing Reba and Nazha off, Gu Zhiyan also set off to meet up with Guo Fan and the others.

The Wandering Earth is scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and promotional activities before its release have already begun.

Before the Spring Festival film season began, the industry generally favored comedy films at the box office, just as the promotional slogan said: "The Wandering Earth, a risky gamble."

"The Wandering Earth" presents enormous challenges and unknowns for the creative team, the market audience, and the entire film industry.

Domestic audiences have too deep an impression of Chinese science fiction, and the vast majority of them do not believe that China can produce real science fiction films, thinking that this is just another case of "selling dog meat under the guise of mutton".

How to get audiences to go to the cinema? Pre-movie publicity is of paramount importance.

Gu Zhiyan also attaches great importance to this work, which is the culmination of everyone's hard work.

He is not only the lead actor, but also an investor.

Fortunately, he doesn't have much to do right now, as he's been focusing all his energy on promoting "The Wandering Earth".

After meeting up with Guo Fan and Liu Cixin, they immediately began the first phase of promotion.

They visited about 20 universities across the country to launch the "Adventure Begins" roadshow.

Many college students are fans of Liu Cixin's books, and university campuses are also a gathering place for young people who have the deepest understanding of "Chinese science fiction".

We will explore Chinese science fiction with universities and interpret it to some extent through Chinese culture, in order to successfully convert the first wave of core audience, mainly science fiction fans.

Universities are Gu Zhiyan's stronghold; wherever he goes, he attracts a large following among college students.

Liu Cixin was deeply impressed, saying that he had never seen any celebrity with such influence and popularity among this group of privileged individuals.

In addition, advance screenings were conducted for cinema managers and theater chain representatives in 13 key box office cities across the country to garner support for scheduling.

The target audience is clearly defined: core science fiction fans, college students, and film industry professionals.

After the first phase of promotion ended, the second phase of promotion was launched immediately.

Film critics, media, and industry elites were invited to preview screenings in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and a trailer and theme song were released.

"Brother, did you miss me?"

As soon as Zhao Jinmai saw Gu Zhiyan, she immediately stepped forward and took his arm, tilting her head and looking at him with her eyes crinkled.

"Yes, I do," Gu Zhiyan reached out and ruffled her hair. "Our Mai Mai has grown taller."

Zhao Jinmai is on winter break, and we're promoting the movie together.

It's been over a year since I last saw her. Although Xiao Jinmai still has a bit of a childish look on her face, she has already grown into a graceful young lady.

Girls really do change a lot as they grow up!

Zhao Jinmai enjoyed the feeling of Gu Zhiyan rubbing her head. It felt like she was back when they were filming together. It was so nice that nothing had changed and her brother still doted on her so much.

"Give."

Gu Zhiyan handed Zhao Jinmai a lollipop.

This lollipop was given to him by a fan; he remembered that girl used to love eating it the most.

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore," Zhao Jinmai said, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

Why is her brother still treating her like a child? She doesn't want to still be seen as a child in his eyes.

Despite complaining, Zhao Jinmai obediently took the lollipop, peeled off the coating, and put it in her mouth.

So sweet!

"Oh, then tell me, how old are you this year?"

Gu Zhiyan looked at the little girl pouting in front of her and chuckled.

"She's already sixteen years old, no, seventeen in the traditional Chinese way!"

"Oh, so that means sixteen years old, a minor!"

Zhao Jinmai: ...

So what if she's sixteen? Lots of her classmates are already dating!

The girl felt a little annoyed. When would she finally grow up and have her brother stop treating her like a child?
