Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Da Mimi stayed for only an afternoon before leaving in a hurry; she was still very busy.

She was well-fed and full of energy this time.

Although the matter with Jiaxing has been resolved, the start of a new career is bound to be full of complexities.

September arrived before we knew it, and the weather in Shanghai was still very hot. Filming for "You Are My Glory" was also gradually coming to an end.

Gu Zhiyan could see the three young ladies chatting animatedly with their heads tucked together from afar.

"What are you talking about?"

"Brother Xiaoyan, come and eat some melon seeds!" Zhu Xudan said excitedly.

Reba and Daxizi nodded with shining eyes.

What kind of melon should we eat?

I didn't see any watermelons either!

Gu Zhiyan was curious. Judging from the girls' enthusiasm, could there be some big scandal in the entertainment industry?

That shouldn't be the case; he doesn't recall any major scandals during this period.

"What melon? Let me see."

Zhu Xudan immediately handed the phone to Gu Zhiyan.

Gu Zhiyan immediately understood. She thought it was some big scandal, but it turned out to be a fight over billing order.

The person involved was an old acquaintance, Peng Yuchang.

The movie "The Last Wish" has recently been embroiled in a "battle for top billing" between two male actors.

Previously, Peng Yuchang was listed first in the cast announcement and was regarded by the outside world as the leading man. However, after the premiere event, some of Peng Yuchang's fans discovered that Peng Yuchang's name was listed second in the movie's opening credits, while WDL was listed first.

Subsequently, Peng Yuchang and WDL fans launched an online war of words regarding the order of billing.

In fact, the so-called ranking is a symbol of an idol's influence and appeal in the minds of fans.

This saying, which has been passed down through generations, is not related to the amount of screen time the lead actor has; it mainly concerns the "center stage" treatment.

When promoting a work, the lead actor is often placed in the center position, and their name is listed first in posters and other promotional materials. When the work wins an award, it is also attributed to the lead actor.

After reviewing the details of the incident, Gu Zhiyan realized that the production company's actions were indeed unethical.

Since it's a dual male lead story, why did the promotional campaign focus on Peng Yuchang being the lead actor, while WDL didn't step forward to say that he was also the lead actor?

After Peng Yuchang spent a year promoting the film, the production company pulled this bizarre move of having two male leads, which vaguely gives the impression of a cuckoo taking over someone else's place.

However, considering that this movie is backed by Taiwanese capital, such shady tactics don't seem too surprising.

They often do this: suppressing mainland actors and promoting their own people.

Gu Zhiyan particularly disapproves of the idea that domestic actors can still make money off domestic audiences.

Gu Zhiyan has never experienced any battles over billing order because no one dares to compete with him now, and the production company and distributors don't dare to do such a thing.

However, he expressed his understanding regarding the dispute over billing order.

After all, celebrities aren't just themselves anymore; dozens of people behind them depend on them for their livelihood.

It's not that he doesn't want to compete, but rather that the order of billing in the credits is a symbol of an idol's influence and appeal in the eyes of fans. This is what popularity, buzz, and fan base mean.

These are all intangible assets of a celebrity. Even if he doesn't want them, his team will fight for them. As I said before, many people are relying on him for their livelihood... and for a long time.

"Brother Xiaoyan, what do you think about this?" Reba asked.

"The production company acted unfairly. If I were Peng Yuchang, I would definitely fight them to the end. As for WDL, I think he might have been tricked by the production company as well."

Gu Zhiyan said this because Wang Dalu was also a remarkable person.

This man single-handedly swept through the Taiwanese entertainment industry!

This story begins with his later downfall. Initially, this naive and innocent guy spent 3.6 million to fake illness and evade military service. After being caught, the police opened his phone and were so engrossed in what they saw that it was like a person had grown out of a melon!

This draft evasion incident was also full of laughs. In short, it can be summed up as: a clever person racking their brains is no match for a fool's quick thinking.

The person who handles this for WDL is called "Blackie." For this whole process, Blackie usually charges between NT$5 and NT$50.

Among the celebrities caught, Chen Bolin spent the least money, only 100,000 NTD, earning him the title of Taiwan's No. 1 Bargain King from netizens.

WDL actually cost 3.6 million, which means that one WDL is equivalent to 36 Chen Bolin.

Although this guy is pretty shady, he really does help you with things. There are two rounds of physical examinations for exemption from military service in Taiwan: a preliminary examination and a re-examination, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes.

As soon as Blackie received the money, he sent someone to the hospital to help WDL with the initial examination.

But not long after, the black guy himself went inside!

Why? Because this black guy, besides facilitating draft evasion, also made money through fraud, selling illegal drugs, and other unethical means.

But wdl, that silly black guy, didn't know that when he was preparing for the re-examination, he found that he couldn't contact the black guy no matter what.

"Where did the contractor go? They disappeared halfway through the job! Did I get scammed?"

Then, completely bewildered, he called the police, resulting in him arresting himself.

No, what are you saying when you call the police? "Ah, I wanted to evade military service, spent 3.6 million yuan to find a way, and got scammed."

In short, he really wanted to get rid of this black man's whole family, so he found his rich second-generation good friend and said to him, "I can also join the army, but I don't want him to lie to me."

This rich kid's family owns a car company and has a lot of connections in the Taiwanese police force. They introduced him to a captain in the Taipei City Criminal Investigation Division, and that's how WDL so readily filed the report!

On the surface, it was a police report, but in reality, it was about getting the police captain to use his connections to obtain all of Blackie's information so he could retaliate.

When WDL reported the crime, he was careful not to mention his draft evasion, only saying that he had been scammed out of 3.6 million.

The key question is, can you withstand scrutiny for such a major case?

Having connections in the police force is useless!

So, when the police opened WDL's phone, the information immediately matched that on the phone of the black man who had been arrested earlier.

At that moment, no one expected that a wdl overturned would lead to a thriving melon field!

The source of the problem was WDL's phone, which contained a video of him assaulting an Uber driver at H Dao's hands!

The whole thing started simply because he couldn't open the Tesla's door...

The funniest thing is, the video of the beating was fake!

Because H had only managed to inflict minor injuries on the driver, and fearing the video wouldn't be effective enough, they created a fake video to appease WDL.

WDL's intelligence remained consistently high; he didn't realize the video was fake, and he paid H Dao with great satisfaction. He even shared the video of the assault with his friends to show off, which later became irrefutable evidence of his instigation of harm.

The story, full of twists and turns, is not over yet. The Taiwanese police were shocked to discover that WDL's phone contained a veritable universe of Taiwanese entertainment evaders.

Following his lead, the police arrested three groups of Taiwanese celebrities who had evaded military service, including Chen Bolin, Xiu Jiekai, and others, which led to the exposure of the S Group behind them, and even uncovered moles within the police force and prisons!

Because of WDL, a peculiar individual, the Taiwanese police force has achieved several years' worth of results, and the Taiwanese entertainment industry has been almost completely overturned.

You know, this whole thing was originally just a case of desertion, but it turned out to involve collusion with the underworld, a mole within the police, a mole within the prison guards, and a huge S Group. It's so exciting it could be made into a movie.

The most dramatic thing is that WDL spent 3.6 million, but still had to join the army.

WDL is practically a low-IQ crime boss from Taiwan!

Gu Zhiyan was lost in thought when her phone rang.

He looked down and saw that it was Peng Yuchang calling!
