Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

After its broadcast, "Eternal Love" achieved a viewership rating of over 1 on both Shanghai TV and Zhejiang TV, with the highest single episode rating exceeding 2.

The online streaming platform saw explosive popularity, with total views exceeding 3 million within 12 hours of its release and 10 billion within 48 hours.

The main Weibo topic quickly garnered 26 billion views, with the lead actors Yang Mi, Zhao Youting, Gu Zhiyan, and Dilraba frequently trending on social media, sparking widespread discussion.

Supporting actors such as Zhang Binbin, Zhu Xudan, and Huang Mengying have also frequently trended on social media due to topics related to their roles.

There was even a phenomenon of "trending on social media for each episode," with almost every episode generating new points of discussion.

The ending theme song "Liang Liang," sung by Gu Zhiyan and Zhang Hanyun, has become a hit across the internet, topping the charts on music platforms such as Tencent Music and Kugou.

The lyrics and melody of "Liang Liang" closely match the main storyline of Bai Qian and Ye Hua's tragic love across three lifetimes in the drama.

When the plot reached its crucial and heart-wrenching moments, especially the climax of "Su Su jumping off the Zhuxian Terrace," the playing of the song greatly enhanced the tragic atmosphere and evoked a strong emotional resonance among the audience, making "I'll play 'Liang Liang' for you" a popular internet meme.

Right now, the entire Jiaxing Media group is in high spirits.

The phenomenal hit TV series "Eternal Love" was like a timely rain, not only helping Jiaxing Media win its capital bet without any major setbacks, but also greatly enhancing Jiaxing's market valuation, industry position, and brand influence.

Da Mimi has been sending Gu Zhiyan a lot of messages lately to share her joy.

She was so happy that she sent Gu Zhiyan many selfies.

The content is a bit too explicit; if it gets leaked, it could cause a huge uproar online.

This was tough on Gu Zhiyan; life on set was truly bland and tasteless.

When filming "Wolf Warrior 2", Li Yitong was by his side, but now he's all alone.

Gu Zhiyan felt that Da Mimi was doing it on purpose, and he was determined to teach her a lesson when he returned to China.

The female lead in the TV series is in a good mood, but the male lead is a little upset.

Zhao Youting cursed Gu Zhiyan countless times in his heart.

His marketing of "transformative acting skills" not only failed to make a splash, but was even compared to Gu Zhiyan.

Then, she was "outshone".

Her acting skills were overshadowed, and her looks were overshadowed.

The "Being Outshone" team has gained another powerful member.

The male lead's popularity is actually lower than that of the supporting actors.

"Gu Zhiyan, the song 'Liang Liang'", "Gu Zhiyan's white-haired look is the best", "After Zhiyan, there will be no more Donghua", "Gu Zhiyan and Dilraba, the Dongfeng CP"...

Besides Yang Mi, Gu Zhiyan was the most frequently trending topic.

The popularity of Gu Zhiyan's pairing with Dilraba Dilmurat even surpassed that of his pairing with Yang Mi.

Zhao Youting: Damn it, does being a top influencer make you so great?

It's hard to say about other top celebrities, but Gu Zhiyan is truly remarkable.

Because of him, the female celebrities started fighting again.

The hit drama "Eternal Love" made the on-screen couple Gu Zhiyan and Dilraba Dilmurat extremely popular.

The most pitiful one is Sister Meng; the popularity of her CP with Gu Zhiyan has been completely suppressed.

Unfortunately, the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" pales in comparison to that of "Eternal Love".

But Gu Zhiyan and Sister Meng's CP fans were not discouraged; they had to fight even if they couldn't win.

The two sides' CP fans started tearing each other apart at the slightest disagreement.

This was like lighting a fuse, with Gu Zhiyan's pairing with Na Zha and someone else joining in, and even Chen Yao's fans, who weren't very prominent at the moment, getting involved, directly starting a massive melee.

Four actresses got into a fight over Gu Zhiyan, a rare sight that netizens flocked to watch.

Its popularity was unparalleled for a time.

A feud between several female celebrities directly propelled Gu Zhiyan, who was in Africa, to the top of the trending searches.

This is truly a case of "though I'm no longer in the game, my legend lives on."

In this four-way battle, the ultimate victor was Dilraba.

There's no way around it; the TV series is currently airing, and with the support of this phenomenal hit, even the most formidable fans of a certain individual can't withstand its power.

……

Morocco has a harsh environment, with desert heat, sandstorms, tornadoes, and huge temperature differences between day and night, all of which pose huge challenges to the film crew and actors.

As a sniper, Gu Zhiyan had to lie fully armed on the sand where the surface temperature exceeded 45 degrees Celsius. He felt like he was "about to be roasted," but fortunately, he had excellent physical fitness.

The crew also needed to drive deep into the desert and mountains for filming, which was a harsh environment.

Director Dante Lam insisted on shooting on location, refusing studio shooting, and even used real explosives for all the explosion scenes.

This pursuit of ultimate realism brings unparalleled visual impact, but also greatly increases the danger and uncertainty of filming.

For example, during a mountain blasting operation, despite a safety assessment, debris from the explosion still flew far and hit staff members.

The actors worked very hard, and during breaks in filming, the greatest pleasure for this group of grown men was to get together and chat, finding joy in their hardship.

At this moment, everyone was discussing the incident where several female celebrities got into a fight because of Gu Zhiyan.

"Brother Yan, you're awesome!" Zhang Yi gave Gu Zhiyan a thumbs up.

Zhang Yi is the male lead in this movie, and he's a bit of a closet pervert.

Actually, he got lucky.

Initially, director Lin Chaoxian invited Huang Xiaoming to play the role of Captain Yang Rui in this movie, but Huang Xiaoming refused outright, saying, "My baby is pregnant, let's work together next time!"

I bet Xiaoming's emotions are complicated after "Operation Red Sea" is released!

It is said that after being rejected by Huang Xiaoming, Lin Chaoxian approached Wu Jing, but Wu Jing was busy with his film "Wolf Warrior 2" and had no time to act.

As a result, the role fell to Zhang Yi.

"Brother Yan, do you have any tips on how to get girls to like you?" Wang Yanlin asked cheekily.

"This thing requires modeling skills, you'd better give up, you won't be able to learn it."

Gu Zhiyan shook her head, looking as if to say, "You're beyond saving."

"Damn, I'm not bad looking either!" Wang Yanlin said indignantly.

"You're far from good enough. Brother Du has a much better chance than you." Gu Zhiyan turned to look at Du Jiang.

Du Jiang waved his hand: "Forget about me, I've been married for several years already."

"What's there to be afraid of? Your wife isn't here. Just bragging a little."

"Speaking of which, my wife is a big fan of your drama. Before she joined the crew, she even asked me to invite you to have dinner together after you returned to China so we could get to know each other."

"No problem, let's get together sometime."

Gu Zhiyan was just saying it; he had no intention of going.

Du Jiang's wife is no pushover; with his immense charm, what if...?

Ahem, Gu Zhiyan quickly pulled himself back to reality. He'd been having these random thoughts lately; it seemed he'd been holding them in for too long.

I miss my older and younger sisters back home...
