Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

After recording "Happy Camp" and having an art discussion with Ms. Li Qing, Gu Zhiyan participated in the recording of "Day Day Up" the next day.

After finishing the recording of two variety shows, Gu Zhiyan's promotional mission was officially completed, and she immediately rushed to Guangdong Province to film "Operation Red Sea".

The actors didn't have many scenes, and Gu Zhiyan's scenes were completed a month later.

Meanwhile, "Princess Agents" had already been airing on Hunan TV's "Youth Time" weekly drama slot for some time.

The premiere of "Princess Agents" achieved a viewership rating of 1.17, securing the top spot among satellite TV channels in its time slot.

The online broadcasting platforms are iQiyi, Tencent Video, Youku, Mango TV, Sohu Video, and LeTV Video, which will broadcast the content simultaneously.

Within 12 hours of its release, the video had accumulated over 4 million views across the entire network.

The series immediately topped Weibo's trending topics and various charts after its premiere, with the main hashtag #PrincessAgents# exceeding 17 billion views in its first week.

Sister Zhao also topped the new media artist index list, creating a wildly popular phenomenon of "everyone watching the show and everyone discussing it".

The ratings were high from the start and continued to rise. The ratings broke 2 after a week of airing and broke 3 after half a month.

Topics related to "Princess Agents" have become incredibly popular on social media platforms, sparking huge discussions on platforms such as Weibo.

When Gu Zhiyan went to Beijing to attend the premiere of the movie version of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", the main topic of the series had already garnered over 100 billion views, and even the supporting characters in the series frequently appeared on the trending search list.

The number of online views has exceeded 350 billion, setting a record for dramas broadcast simultaneously on TV and online.

Lin Gengxin was undoubtedly outshone by Gu Zhiyan. Although he was mentally prepared, he still called Gu Zhiyan and chatted with her for a while, and successfully got Gu Zhiyan to treat him to a meal.

Gu Zhiyan's portrayal of Yan Xun is a complete arc, from a sunny and cheerful prince of Yanbei to a revenger who gradually "darkens" after experiencing a major upheaval in his family. The dramatic twists and turns in his fate are full of dramatic tension, deeply moving the audience.

Gu Zhiyan's nuanced acting skills accurately portrayed Yan Xun's transformation from beginning to end.

Especially in key scenes such as "Nine Nether Terrace", his highly infectious performance deeply shocked the audience and became a direct catalyst for the spread of the topic.

Topics such as "Yan Xun, a dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse", "Yan Xun, the Nine Nether Terrace", "Yan Xun's Dark Turn", and "Yan Xun's Severed Finger" frequently trended on social media.

To be honest, this TV series didn't really enhance Gu Zhiyan's career; it just gave him another memorable TV role.

The biggest beneficiary of the huge success of "Princess Agents" is actually Ms. Li Qing.

After many years in the industry, she has finally become a household name with her role as Princess Yuan Chun.

Li Qing portrays Princess Yuan Chun as kind, lovely, and passionate, capable of both extreme love and hate. In the drama, she experiences everything from her innocent and naive beginnings to her dark transformation after the fall of her kingdom, making her a character that evokes both love and hate.

Moreover, she is naturally suited to the "beautiful, strong, and tragic" genre, and the character of Yuan Chun perfectly embodies this trait.

In the scene of Yuan Chun and Yan Xun's wedding, Li Qing perfectly portrayed the scene where Yuan Chun, after learning of Yan Xun's rebellion, knelt down and begged her father to rescind his order, and prostrated herself at Yan Xun's feet, pleading desperately.

Her crying scenes were incredibly moving, bringing tears to the eyes of many viewers. Netizens showered Li Qing with praise for her acting skills, and "Li Qing's acting skills" even topped the Weibo real-time hot search list.

Topics such as "Yuan Chun's wedding", "Yuan Chun's dark turn", "Yuan Chun being humiliated", "Li Qing's crying scene", and "Feeling sorry for Yuan Chun" frequently appeared on Weibo's trending searches.

Miss Li Qing has been riding high lately. She's noticed that she seems to have exceptionally good luck whenever anything involves Gu Zhiyan.

Not only did she get a trending topic at the last Bulgari gala, she also became Bulgari's brand ambassador.

She acted in so many dramas but didn't become famous, but her first collaboration with Gu Zhiyan became a hit.

However, she is now a little conflicted.

The hit drama "Princess Agents" has made the tragic love story of Yan Xun and Yuan Chun a hot topic.

Miss Li Qing is currently debating whether or not to promote her and Gu Zhiyan's on-screen couple.

"Big sister, what are you still hesitating about? After all these years in the industry, don't you have any idea what your situation is like?" The manager looked at Li Qing with a disappointed expression.

"You'll get scolded for doing that; I got really scolded last time."

Li Qing felt a little scared when she thought about how she was chased and scolded by Na Zha and someone's fans because of the Bulgari dinner last time.

"What celebrity doesn't get criticized? Compared to fame, what's a little criticism? Look at Li Yitong, who got criticized along with you last time, how did she handle it?"

Li Qing truly admired Li Yitong.

Perhaps because "Wolf Warrior 2" is about to be released, these sisters have been posting photos of themselves with Gu Zhiyan taken in Africa on Weibo every few days, and some of the photos are quite intimate.

Naturally, she was chased and scolded by fans of Nazha and Dilraba, but Li Yitong didn't care at all and continued to post.

Li Yitong: What's a little criticism compared to trending topics!

"Let me tell you, Gu Zhiyan is a hot commodity right now. Many female celebrities want to create a CP with him but don't have the chance. Besides, your relationship with him is already special. What's wrong with creating a CP? If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will. I advise you not to be foolish," the manager continued to earnestly persuade.

Which celebrity doesn't want to be famous?

Li Qing was no exception. What her agent said made sense. So what if she was scolded?

Even if it's a case of being infamous, it's still fame, which is better than being lukewarm and ignored, right?

Once the thought came to mind, I suddenly felt the vastness of the world.

Having made up her mind, Li Qing no longer hesitated: "Then let's intensify the hype!"

"My little aunt is here! This should have happened a long time ago. I'll arrange it right away." Hearing Li Qing say this, the agent was overjoyed.

Gu Zhiyan's career is booming, and being associated with him would be very beneficial for any artist.

Besides, it's just a publicity stunt for the couple, not an official announcement of their relationship. Even if Gu Zhiyan really can't make it one day, they can just untie the pair. Isn't that how it's always done in the entertainment industry?

Moreover, in Li Qing's agent's view, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Gu Zhiyan's outstanding qualities will only make her more and more popular.

As Li Qing's team heavily promoted her and Gu Zhiyan's on-screen couple, things unfolded exactly as Li Qing had predicted, and she was criticized again.

However, unlike last time when she was completely helpless, she managed to put up a fight this time, thanks to the popularity of "Princess Agents".

Moreover, this "CP-grabbing war" is even more massive, with Nazha, Dilraba, Chen Yao, Meng Ziyi, and even Li Yitong, who has no collaborative works released yet and relies entirely on photos to create a CP, all getting involved.

That was a chaotic battle!

Li Qing used to think Li Yitong was shameless, but now she completely understands Li Yitong's constant attempts to take advantage of others.

Thick-skinned people eat their fill; thin-skinned people don't get any.

During this period, she frequently appeared on trending searches by taking advantage of the popularity of "Princess Agents" and riding on the coattails of Gu Zhiyan's popularity.

As brand awareness soared, brand collaborations that were previously unthinkable began to come one after another.

Bulgari even promoted her to brand ambassador, and after a while, they will have her collaborate with Gu Zhiyan on a GG endorsement shoot.

Wow, it smells so good!
