Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

The organizers of the Mnet Asian Music Awards did invite Gu Zhiyan to participate.

But he was too pressed for time, so he didn't go.

Lin Yun'er and Li Zhi'en originally thought they would see Gu Zhiyan on their private days, but they were greatly disappointed.

Naza and Lin Yun'er are acquaintances; they filmed "God of War Zhao Yun" together.

Lee Ji-eun frequently visits China, and she naturally knew about the rumors surrounding Nazha and Gu Zhiyan.

Naza was easy to coax, and Lee Ji-eun quickly became familiar with her.

She even has a better relationship with Naza than with Lim Yoon-ah, who is also from South Korea.

There's no way around it; we used to be rivals in our careers, and now we're rivals in our relationships too.

It's because Gu Zhiyan and her two friends have a close relationship in South Korea; the mainland is just too far away.

As a result, Lee Ji-eun and Lin Yoon-ah came to the capital with Na Zha.

That fool, Nazha, didn't even realize he'd let the wolf into the house.

Naza was in a bad mood, but there's nothing that can't be solved with one pee. If one pee doesn't work, then do it a few more times.

When Naza left, you couldn't tell that she had been crying because she was being attacked online just two days earlier.

As a top-tier celebrity, she is still very busy, especially as the end of the year approaches.

As soon as Naza left, Lin Yun'er and Li Zhi'en immediately began their "competition".

Fortunately, Gu Zhiyan was capable enough to make them take turns resting.

"Brother Xiaoyan, you said you'd write a song for me!"

Li Zhi'en, slumped in Gu Zhiyan's arms, pouted.

Goodness, I forgot about that. I did promise her that when Li Zhi'en came to Beijing last time.

"I wrote it a while ago, but I was too busy and forgot to send it to you. I'll send it to you tomorrow."

Gu Zhiyan's words are pure lies; he's just making things up.

However, I still have a few songs in my head that I can use directly.

Well, let's distribute the benefits evenly!

Arrange for Zhang Hanyun, Zhang Liangying, and Lin Yun'er to all be included.

"Brother Xiaoyan, you're so kind."

Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, Li Zhi'en, who had been feeling weak all over, immediately became full of energy again.

Everything went completely automatic.

……

The next day, Gu Zhiyan took the time to write the songs for Li Zhi'en and Lin Yun'er.

"Rollin," a song performed by a girl group, is a perfect fit for Lim Yoon-ah, who comes from a girl group background.

"Traffic Light," a ballad, is perfect for Lee Ji-eun.

Both of these songs later became the number one hits on the Gaon monthly chart in South Korea, and were extremely popular.

When Lim Yoon-ah received the song, she was much more surprised than Lee Ji-eun, since unlike Lee Ji-eun, she knew nothing about it before.

Therefore, Lin Yun'er studied Chinese very diligently that evening and mastered the Chinese way of addressing elders.

As the most popular female celebrities in South Korea, Lee Ji-eun and Lim Yoon-ah naturally didn't stay in Beijing for long.

Both of them left quite pleased with themselves.

Li Zhi'en: Xiao Yan has finished writing the song he promised to give me.

Lin Yun'er: Xiao Yan wrote a song for me on his own initiative.

Well, Gu Zhiyan didn't say anything, and the two of them kept it from each other. Neither of them knew that the other also had songs.

I imagine the expressions on the two young ladies' faces will be quite interesting when the song is released.

After all, Gu Zhiyan wrote both the lyrics and the music; it's obvious at a glance.

After seeing off the two Korean ladies, Gu Zhiyan finally stayed at home peacefully for a few days.

At the end of December, Gu Zhiyan went to the China International Exhibition Center (New Venue) to attend the "Penguin Star Awards" held there.

Speaking of the "Penguin Star Awards", we must mention the "Screaming Night" held by kiwifruit at the beginning of the month.

Nazha won the title of "Screaming Goddess" for her role in "Go Go Squid!", which was also the most popular drama of the year.

Although Gu Zhiyan was unable to attend due to time constraints, Kiwi still graciously bestowed upon him the title of "Screaming God".

This is also the first time a platform has awarded an award to an artist who was unable to attend.

Kiwi: There's no way around it, this is the big boss, we have to take good care of him. At the beginning of the year, there was "Go Go Squid!" and at the end of the year, there was "Joy of Life", which broke various records on the platform one after another.

Well, since "Joy of Life" was broadcast on both Tencent Video and Tencent Video, iQiyi awarded the title of "Drama of the Year" to "Go Go Squid!"

Weibo and Tencent: What a suck-up! We can do that too!

Yuku: I don't deserve a name?

Given how much these major platforms fawned over him, they even created a competition for the number of awards last year, giving Gu Zhiyan several awards in total.

Therefore, this year Gu Zhiyan arranged for Xiuxiu to inform them in advance not to make it too exaggerated, one is enough, it doesn't matter if there is none.

Okay, Gu Zhiyan has gotten a bit arrogant and doesn't care about the awards from the major platforms at all.

But their awards are really not very prestigious.

Major platforms: No? That won't do!

If we don't give Gu Zhiyan an award, won't she be subjected to cyberbullying?

Not only will the platform be chased and cursed by fans, but the award-winning celebrities will also suffer.

Since Gu Zhiyan said he only wants one, then let's leave the biggest one for him!

As soon as Gu Zhiyan arrived, she instantly became the most eye-catching person in the entire room.

As the only top-tier celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, he graced the ceremony with the prestige of the hit drama "Joy of Life" and the 3 billion yuan box office success of "Better Days".

Whether it's rising stars like Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, and Kun Kun, or established stars like Lu Han and Wu Caifeng, they all pale in comparison to Gu Zhiyan's star power.

Let us welcome the king!

I must say, the atmosphere here really had that vibe.

Wherever Gu Zhiyan went, people stood up to greet him.

Especially those artists who were not familiar with Gu Zhiyan or who were young, he bowed deeply to greet them.

Since Gu Zhiyan entered the venue, the live broadcast camera has never left him.

This scene was witnessed by countless netizens watching the live stream.

"Rise, all of you, and pay homage to your King!"

"Tsk tsk, Brother Yan's entourage, anyone who didn't know better would think some big shot had arrived."

"Brother, are you still living in the last century? Gu Zhiyan is a real big shot now! Whether it's TV series achievements or movie box office, is there anyone in the entertainment industry who can compare to him? Moreover, his own company is also investing in film and television; he's already a major investor."

"It's said that Gu Zhiyan's company's annual revenue is higher than some listed companies. It's hard to imagine that this is a company that serves only one person!"

"It's not surprising at all. Gu Zhiyan's company basically only invests in projects he stars in. Just look at the ratings of the TV dramas and the box office of the movies he stars in. Not only has he never lost, but they are all huge hits."

"There's one more thing missing upstairs. Gu Zhiyan has so many hit songs that are popular all over the internet. The copyright fees alone are an astronomical figure every year."

"According to sources, Gu Zhiyan is now worth tens of billions."

"Holy crap, he's definitely a real pro!"

"Don't be surprised, this doesn't even include Gu Zhiyan's intangible assets. If his company goes public, his net worth will immediately increase many times over."

"Wow, anyone who marries Gu Zhiyan would be so happy. He's so handsome and talented, no wonder so many female celebrities look at him like they want to eat him alive."

……

A net worth of tens of billions?

Gu Zhiyan had no idea he had so much money.

Although he earns a lot, he also spends a lot, and he has to pay taxes.

Song copyright revenue, film and television investment revenue, actor salaries, endorsement fees...

Roughly calculated, it should be several billion, right?

Gu Zhiyan wasn't really clear on the specifics, because film and television projects have long investment cycles and slow returns, so he hadn't calculated them and didn't care much about them.

Xiuxiu should know these things best.

Of course, if the company really goes public, his net worth will definitely skyrocket, easily increasing several times or even dozens of times.

Quite a few venture capital firms have come to encourage Gu Zhiyan to take the company public; they are really envious.

Going public is great, everyone can get a piece of the pie.

But Gu Zhiyan had no such intention. He didn't want to exploit others or be led by the nose in the future.

Fortunately, Gu Zhiyan has a strong background, so some people are just envious and don't dare to have any bad ideas.

Besides, having a lot of money is just a number; as long as it's enough to spend, that's fine.

To borrow a phrase from a prominent internet figure: He's not interested in money!
