Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Among the cast of "Joy of Life", Gu Zhiyan naturally has the highest popularity and discussion.

The famous scene of "Fan Xian composing a hundred poems while drunk" has gone viral on short video platforms.

When Gu Zhiyan was filming this scene, the fact that he drank too much and ended up in the hospital was brought up again.

Coupled with the outstanding storyline of the TV series, it sparked countless heated discussions.

"No wonder Gu Zhiyan has achieved what she has today; she really puts her life on the line when she's filming."

"This scene gave me goosebumps, it was so exciting and so good."

"Gu Zhiyan's performance was absolutely amazing; it was like watching a celestial being descend to earth."

"Brother Yan, you're so handsome! What is the appearance of an immortal? This is it!"

"A graceful figure on the road, like jade, a gentleman in white, unparalleled in the world."

……

Gu Zhiyan, the male lead, is trending on social media every few days, while Li Qing, the female lead, is a bit frustrated.

Despite being the lead actress, she didn't even have as much popularity as many of the supporting actresses.

It's truly heartbreaking.

The biggest impact of the first season of "Joy of Life" on Li Qing was that it gave her national recognition, and "Chicken Leg Girl" became an important label in her career.

However, the actual benefits brought about are relatively limited, resulting in the unique phenomenon of "the show is popular but the actors are not."

The supporting actresses Song Yi, Li Chun, and Xin Zhilei all had a stronger presence than her. Some viewers even said after watching the show, "I remember the villains and supporting characters, but I don't remember the female lead at all."

It's no wonder Ms. Li Qing was upset in this situation!

Feeling depressed, Li Qing went straight to the set of "Si Teng" to seek comfort.

Fortunately, filming for "Si Teng" has been completed in southern Yunnan, and the production team is currently filming some period costume scenes and studio scenes in Hengdian.

Otherwise, Li Qing really wouldn't have had time to travel to such a far place as southern Yunnan.

Li Qing's arrival freed up Gu Zhiyan, and the four young ladies were able to make a perfect mahjong table.

Gu Zhiyan was exhausted from playing mahjong with Da Tiantian, Sister Meng, and Zhou Ye, so she had to find a way to help them win.

Furthermore, the difference in the number of wins for each person should not be too large.

With Gu Zhiyan's deep comfort, Li Qing's mood improved significantly.

However, Li Qing only stayed in the film crew for three days before leaving. As soon as she left, Gu Zhiyan was dragged to the mahjong table by Sister Meng.

Sister Meng has really developed a strong mahjong addiction lately.

Fortunately, filming for "Sito" is nearing its end.

A few days after Li Qing left, Zhou Ye and Sister Meng also finished filming and left the crew.

In mid-December, filming for the entire series of "Si Teng" wrapped up.

Da Tian Tian and Gu Zhi Yan returned to the capital together.

Da Tian Tian, ​​who originally planned to have a child after filming "Si Teng", has backed out and plans to wait two years.

She was genuinely "frightened" by the crying and fussing of the child.

"Sister Liying, kids are so hard to soothe, they're always crying."

Da Tiantian handed the child to Zhao Liying and sighed.

"Kids are all like that, they'll be fine when they get older. Last time you told me that TV dramas should have kids, why have you changed your mind now?"

While patting the baby, Sister Zhao asked.

Da Tian Tian: "I feel like I can't handle kids, it's too difficult, and I'm still a kid myself."

Zhao Liying: ……

A thirty-year-old child?

Well, Da Tian Tian's personality is indeed like that of a little girl.

"You don't need to look after the baby. If I weren't so reluctant to leave the baby, I would have gone back to work right after my postpartum period."

"Forget it, forget it, let's talk about the child in a couple of years," Da Tiantian shook her head. "By the way, Sister Liying, when are you planning to make a comeback?"

Sister Zhao: "I'm making a comeback soon. Although I'm reluctant to leave my baby, I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I stay here any longer."

……

Da Tiantian stayed home to keep Xiao Zhao company, while Gu Zhiyan was too busy and basically didn't stay home much.

As soon as Gu Zhiyan arrived in Beijing, photos of her leaving the airport went viral.

This also led to Gu Zhiyan and Da Tiantian not daring to leave the airport together.

Besides the wildly popular "Joy of Life," "Better Days" has also finished its run, with a total box office of 31.23 billion yuan.

This box office figure is twice as high as in the previous life.

On the one hand, there were no strong competitors during the release period, and the publicity and promotion were in place.

The other party, of course, is Gu Zhiyan.

It's a consensus among countless moviegoers that Gu Zhiyan's movies are bound to be good; this reputation is built on his numerous excellent works.

Furthermore, with Gu Zhiyan joining the cast, the filming rate is much higher than in the previous life.

A larger fan base, stronger box office appeal, more screenings, more effective marketing, better performances...

This box office performance is not surprising.

At this point, Gu Zhiyan's personal cumulative box office had suddenly reached 280 billion.

Countless netizens have predicted when Gu Zhiyan's cumulative box office will surpass 30 billion, making him the first "30 billion box office man" in the entertainment industry.

Well, there's no point in predicting it; everyone agrees it'll happen in the next movie.

With both the TV series and the movie being huge hits, Gu Zhiyan is now truly at the peak of her career.

Even the smallest noise can make it to the top of the trending searches.

This also meant that Gu Zhiyan had no free time as soon as he arrived in the capital, because the news of his return to the capital could not be kept secret at all.

I met with Zhang Yimou first, but we didn't talk about anything important, just chatted. The filming date for "Cliff Walkers" had been set long ago, and filming would start on New Year's Day.

Zhang Yimou's invitation to Gu Zhiyan was partly to catch up, and partly, of course, to generate buzz before the film's production began.

So the two of them didn't deliberately look for a very private place, and soon the topic of Gu Zhiyan's collaboration with Zhang Yimou soared to the top of the trending search list.

I don't know if the media actually captured it, or if it was arranged by Zhang Yimou.

With the addition of the Imperial Advisor and Gu Zhiyan, the power was like dropping a giant bomb in the circle.

Gu Zhiyan and Zhang Yimou are set to collaborate on a new film.

Gu Zhiyan will play the male lead in Gu Zhiyan's new movie.

[Zhang Yimou X Gu Zhiyan, who can resist them?]

[The male lead for Zhang Yimou's new film has been cast. Who is he?]

……

Netizens are also discussing it extensively.

"Zhang Yimou's movies have amazing visuals, but the plots are really not that great, especially in recent years. Gu Zhiyan is working with Zhang Yimou; won't that drag her down?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Gu Zhiyan can even handle Da Tiantian, so why can't he handle Lao Zhangzi?"

"The director's movie is alright, and with Gu Zhiyan in it, I'm quite optimistic about it."

"That's true, at least Zhang Yimou's movies aren't too bad, and they're watchable."

"Putting everything else aside, with Gu Zhiyan around, no matter how the movie turns out, the box office shouldn't be too bad."

……

Zhang Yimou: ...

I have a "MMP" in my head, but I'm not sure if I should say it?

Moreover, the revised script can definitely withstand scrutiny.

Zhang Yimou attached great importance to this film, regarding it as a battle to "rectify" its reputation.

With Gu Zhiyan as the male lead, if he still can't stand up for himself, wouldn't he be laughed at to death?

This time, Zhang Yimou has ambitious plans.

……

In the past, the female lead was always the most talked-about character in Zhang Yimou's films.

Now the style has changed drastically, and the male protagonist has become the most talked-about person.

Who can blame them when this person is Gu Zhiyan?
