Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

"Sister, it's been a long time."

"Come here, let your big sister give you a hug."

Yang Mi gave Gu Zhiyan a big hug.

Mmm, that feels good.

"You brat, you have no conscience at all. You never even send your sister a message." Yang Mi slapped Gu Zhiyan's butt.

This older sister is becoming increasingly outrageous.

"Um, I was just worried about causing a misunderstanding."

"Oh, you're worried about causing a misunderstanding? Why weren't you afraid when you touched your sister?"

"Sister, don't slander me, that was a massage."

"Aren't they all the same?"

Gu Zhiyan was speechless for a moment, as if there really was no difference.

Seeing Gu Zhiyan's expression, Yang Mi was secretly amused: "I'm not teasing you anymore, I have something important to discuss with you today."

"What's wrong?"

"Write a song for my sister."

"Is your sister planning to switch careers and become a singer?"

"What nonsense! I don't have time to sing. It's the theme song from 'Eternal Love'."

"Oh, this? No problem, I'll give it to you in a few days."

Gu Zhiyan readily agreed, saying that there was one readily available.

"Don't try to fool your sister." Yang Mi glared at Gu Zhiyan.

In a few days?

Creating a song that fits a TV series is no easy task.

This is why Yang Mi didn't know Gu Zhiyan's past achievements; even a few days was too late.

"How could I dare to be perfunctory with you? Don't worry, Sister Bao will be satisfied."

Seeing Gu Zhiyan's confident demeanor, Yang Mi didn't say anything more.

Anyway, the TV series won't air until next year, so there's plenty of time. If we're not satisfied, we can just have that brat rewrite it.

"By the way, how's your movie coming along?"

"Sigh, it's still a long way off. We won't finish filming until next year."

"Is this movie that difficult to make?" Yang Mi asked curiously.

"It's definitely difficult. It's a military action movie, with a lot of big scenes, which is manageable. But Africa, you don't know, it's very chaotic..."

Gu Zhiyan told Yang Mi about his experiences filming in Africa.

Robbery, wild animals, warlord conflicts, disease...

Yang Mi was stunned by what she heard.

"You brat, I don't know what you were thinking, taking on this movie. You could easily make a lot of money while filming it."

Gu Zhiyan: Not only will this movie earn more money, but the hidden benefits are countless.

I estimate that after this movie is released, he will become the number one celebrity.

His performance far surpasses that of many new generation actors.

However, Yang Mi's idea is not wrong.

With Gu Zhiyan's current earning power, she could easily rake in huge sums of money by participating in a few variety shows and doing a few commercial performances.

But who would have thought that a military action movie could break various records in Chinese film history?

It even broke the Chinese film box office record, reaching the 5 billion yuan level.

"Sister, there's no end to making money. Besides, I'm still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money. I'll just take on any good movie I see."

"Wow, I didn't realize you were so ambitious. But I get the feeling you're being sarcastic."

"Uh, no, no, I wouldn't dare."

Gu Zhiyan didn't mean it that way, but Yang Mi couldn't help but take it personally.

Yang Mi is truly a "workaholic" in the entertainment industry.

They worked like mad to fulfill the performance-based agreement.

Making movies, TV series, appearing on variety shows...

During this time period, anyone who turns on the TV can easily see her.

Her work and GG (Girl's Name) flooded various channels, which boosted her popularity to a new level.

However, with more than a dozen productions a year, and sometimes even filming multiple projects simultaneously, how could she possibly settle down and focus on acting properly?

It's understandable that he was criticized for his poor acting skills.

Even so, without the drama "Eternal Love," she most likely wouldn't have won the betting agreement.

All I can say is that she was lucky; there just happened to be a huge hit during that period.

After chatting for a while, Yang Mi got up to say goodbye.

She still has engagements to attend, and her schedule is very tight.

Normally, inviting her to write a song could have been discussed over the phone, but thankfully she made time to come in person.

She just wanted to see Gu Zhiyan, and after meeting and chatting, she felt much less stressed.

"Go for it, little brother! We're waiting for your victory!"

"Don't worry, sister, we have to win!"

"I love your confident look, so here's a reward for you."

Yang Mi suddenly turned around and kissed Gu Zhiyan.

"Sister, this..."

"Let me tell you a secret, my divorce is almost settled. The next time we meet, I'll be single. I'll give you a good reward then, okay? Are you excited?"

To say I'm not looking forward to it would be a lie.

This is Honey!

However, Gu Zhiyan suspected that her sister was just making empty promises.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's the reward?"

"You'll see next time we meet. Goodbye."

Yang Mi waved and walked away gracefully.

Flirt and run, typical of Yang Mi.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Zhiyan set off for Shanghai.

This year's Bolognese dinner will be held in Shanghai.

On this day, most of the entertainment industry's attention was focused on Gu Zhiyan and a certain top celebrity.

The media flocked to the scene, chasing after the hot topic.

When Gu Zhiyan arrived in Shanghai, she was immediately surrounded by media and fans as soon as she got off the plane.

Fortunately, there weren't many people.

The main reason is that Gu Zhiyan did not disclose his itinerary to anyone.

It's estimated that these media outlets and fans were specifically waiting at the airport.

They were really patient. If Gu Zhiyan hadn't taken a plane, they would have been waiting in vain.

Gu Zhiyan briefly answered the media's questions, dismissed them, and then turned to walk towards the fans at the scene.

A group of teenage girls.

Wow, so handsome!

"My brother saw me. I'm not doing well. I feel like I'm suffocating. I'm going to die."

"Brother Yan, could you please sign your name for me?"

"I want one too! I want one too!"

A group of girls immediately surrounded Gu Zhiyan.

"Please be quiet and maintain order. Clear the passageway. This is a public place, so please don't inconvenience other passengers."

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Gu Zhiyan spoke up to remind him.

Yes, these fans are quite obedient; they immediately did as Gu Zhiyan said.

"If you want an autograph, please line up and come one by one. Everyone will get one, but before I sign, I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"Judging from your appearance, you're all still students, right?"

A group of girls nodded in agreement.

"I remember today isn't the weekend, don't you guys have classes? Did you skip class?"

The fans all shrank back, because Gu Zhiyan's expression was rather serious at that moment.

"I understand why you're all like this. Instead of studying properly, what are you doing chasing after celebrities? You're not allowed to do this again. I don't care what you do during the holidays, but you must study hard at school the rest of the time, understand?"

"understood."

"It will never happen again."

The fans' voices were pitifully soft; the combined voices of the group weren't even as loud as Gu Zhiyan's voice alone.

Regardless of what she thought, Gu Zhiyan continued, "As my fans, you all should know that I'm a top student. So if you can't study hard, then you don't deserve to be my fans. If I see anyone skipping class to chase after stars again, then I won't acknowledge you as my fan. Hmm, you'll be expelled from the fandom."

The fans were almost in tears.

Little did they expect that they would be scolded for chasing after a celebrity.

At this moment, Gu Zhiyan was no different from the school's dean of students in their eyes.

"This won't happen again. Let me sign autographs for everyone first."

Upon hearing this, the fans obediently lined up for autographs.

"Alright, stop looking so sad. Those of you who got autographs, don't leave yet. Judging from your expressions, you must have been waiting for a long time. You haven't even had lunch yet, have you? I had someone buy lunch for everyone."

Gu Zhiyan's approach can be seen as a combination of harsh criticism and sweet words.

The young girls had never experienced anything like this before, and they were instantly moved to tears.

I feel like my idols are so special; they actually care whether they've had lunch and even treated them to a meal.

He really... I'm so upset!
