Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

Half of them is the male lead of the show.

Jiang Chengyu only vaguely recognized the actor.

But when he introduced himself, he said his name was Sheng Yilun, a name that Jiang Chengyu found very familiar.

The other two are Yu Menglong.

Jiang Chengyu hasn't watched many of this actress's dramas, except for "Go Princess Go" and "Eternal Love".

However, his death... has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories and speculations online.

Jiang Chengyu seriously observed the gossip for a while.

There's something I'm not sure if I can mention.

Jiang Chengyu remembers clearly that when the news of this person's death first came out, it was all the rage online for the first two days.

Jiang Chengyu spent those two days playing on his phone and scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

At least two out of ten videos are related to this matter.

Then, most of the comments section consisted of conspiracy theories speculated by netizens.

The kind that's terrifying when you think about it.

The key point is that, starting from the third day, Jiang Chengyu started using Douyin again.

Even after scrolling through a hundred videos, it's extremely difficult to find another one related to Yu Menglong...

The last actor from the "Go Princess Go" cast that Jiang Chengyu recognized was Peng Yuchang.

This person needs no further introduction.

The chosen actor for the male lead in later manga adaptations.

From his breakout role in "Take My Brother Away" to his phenomenal popularity with "Back to Field"...

However, it wasn't just these three people who surrounded them.

Jiang Chengyu stood still and responded to everyone's greetings.

Even if each person only says one or two sentences, it still takes a considerable amount of time.

With such obvious changes appearing together among the main actors, it's no wonder that others would notice.

The director, who was sitting and waiting for the stage crew to clean up the set, noticed the actors getting excited and turned to ask the people behind him.

"What's going on over there?"

"Director, I'll go take a look right away."

The person who answered the call quickly ran out of the sunshade.

Before long, the errand boy returned with the message.

"Director, Jiang Chengyu is here."

"Looks like they've come to visit Zhang Tianai on set."

The production team couldn't possibly be unaware of who Jiang Chengyu was if they cast Zhang Tianai as the female lead.

Upon hearing Jiang Chengyu's name, the director instinctively stood up from his chair.

"Jiang Chengyu?"

"Everyone else was chatting with the actors, why didn't anyone tell me he was coming?"

The assistant director chimed in, "Shall I go outside and ask?"

The director thought for a moment and said, "This isn't urgent. Just remember to ask."

"Is the producer still at the hotel and hasn't come over?"

"Call her and tell her Jiang Chengyu has arrived."

"They should be quite familiar with each other."

The assistant director immediately ran to the side to make a phone call.

The director then walked towards Jiang Chengyu.

"Teacher Jiang, you're welcome to visit our group on set!"

The director's laughter grew louder as it approached.

Jiang Chengyu, who had just finished exchanging pleasantries with the actors, turned around and continued exchanging pleasantries.

"Director, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Our small film crew usually doesn't have anyone coming."

After a few polite words, the director asked, "Is Teacher Jiang here to visit Zhang Tianai on set?"

"Yes, I happened to have some business in Hengdian, so I just stopped by to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the director turned to Zhang Tianai and teased, "Tianai, you're really tight-lipped."

As he spoke, the director explained to Jiang Chengyu, "We had dinner together yesterday, and during our casual conversation at the table, our producer mentioned you, but Tian Ai didn't say a word."

"Haha." Jiang Chengyu chuckled and changed the subject.

"Who are you the producer?"

"Oh, our producer is Gan Wei, you should know her, right?"

"She didn't come to the film set today; she's at the hotel."

"Our assistant director just called her to tell her you've arrived, and she said she's coming right now."

"You even told me to keep an eye on you and not let you get away."

"Haha." This time Jiang Chengyu was genuinely laughing.

"How could I possibly run away?"

Tell her to take her time, not to rush, and that I'll wait for her.

If the director doesn't mention Gan Wei, Jiang Chengyu will forget that "Go Princess Go" is a drama produced by the Yue family.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, the assistant director ran over and said that the crew had already cleared the set.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu said, "You guys get to work, don't worry about me."

"I'll sit here and wait for Gan Wei."

After watching the director and Zhang Tianai and the other actors leave, Jiang Chengyu sat in his chair and leisurely played on his phone.

While playing, they waited for Gan Wei.

Speaking of Gan Wei, what the director just said wasn't a lie.

The two are really close.

However, there was no romantic relationship between the two.

However, their relationship did indeed begin with a personal affair.

Here we must mention Jiang Chengyu's three ex-girlfriends: Qin Lan, Li Xiaolu, and Yang Mi.

They're all members of the Teddy Sisters!

Gan Wei was ranked as the "Fifth Sister" among them.

Given this network of relationships, it would be difficult for Gan Wei to avoid dealing with Jiang Chengyu.

Here's a side note.

Jiang Chengyu sometimes felt that his womanizing was also a way of doing good deeds.

For example, because of him, Qin Lan avoided two huge pitfalls: Huang Xiaoming and Lu Chuan.

For example, because of him, there is no longer any possibility for Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng.

For example, because of him, Dong Xuan will never have any further involvement with Gao Yunxiang.

For example, Alyssa Chia.........

Isn't this considered doing a good deed?

If the actresses from his previous life knew about this, Tong Liya might not know, but Dong Xuan, Qin Lan, and Jia Jingwen would all have to kowtow to him...

Let's get back to the point.

Jiang Chengyu's connection with Gan Wei extends beyond the Teddy Sisters group.

Or rather, it was precisely because of the Teddy Sisters group that Gan Wei was able to have a deeper connection with him later on.

This is purely a business matter.

In 2005, the Lok family began its foray into the entertainment industry.

Starting in 2007, the Le family began to pay attention to film and television copyrights.

By 2009, Le's officially established its film and television copyright strategy.

But then Le discovered that other film and television copyrights were easier to acquire and cheaper.

But how come the copyrights to all those classic dramas and those with high rerun rates are in Jiang Chengyu's hands?

At that time, the Le family could not be adequately described simply as "wealthy and powerful".

So without even thinking, Lao Jia just wanted to throw money at Jiang Chengyu.

Jiang Chengyu cannot be brought down by Lao Jia's money.

He can distinguish between a full meal and a full meal every day.

If Jiang Chengyu owned the film and television copyrights, in future generations, he could earn tens of millions a year without doing anything.

Unless he's insane, Jiang Chengyu would never sell film and television rights.

Moreover, the price offered by the Le family was really not high.

Therefore, Jiang Chengyu's refusal was perfectly reasonable.

Then the situation reached a stalemate.

Le's film and television copyright strategy could not be advanced.

Afterwards, Lao Jia raised the price three more times, but Jiang Chengyu remained unmoved.

This put Lao Jia in a difficult position.

He said many unpleasant things in public.

Jiang Chengyu originally didn't want to sell, but he wanted to rent.

After what Lao Jia did, even he doesn't want to rent it anymore.

Then Gan Wei, posing as Jiang Chengyu's best friend from his three ex-girlfriends, came to his door.

They used every trick in the book: appealing to emotions, reasoning with people, playing the victim, and feigning pitifulness.

It took more than half a month of persuasion to get Jiang Chengyu to agree to sign a high-priced exclusive film and television copyright licensing contract.

Of course, she didn't use herself; she pushed Huo Siyan towards Jiang Chengyu...
