Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Afterwards, the three of them sat down at a nice Huaiyang cuisine restaurant near the company.

Whether due to excessive pressure or a drinking problem, Lei Mingkai ordered a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) in the middle of the day.

After Zhou Yang filled his glass, he didn't even bother with a glass, directly picking up the decanter and downing most of it. Then, he visibly relaxed and said:

"Yangyang, release as many new songs as you like. You can pick any of the hundreds of new artists in the basement. If you don't like them, have your sister Wang find someone from another company. In short, I'll give you the people and the money you need..."

Zhou Yang picked up the small cup and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Okay."

He then added, "However, I probably haven't had any new songs lately; it seems like I've run out of ideas."

"Haha, you're joking! How old are you?"

Lei Mingkai didn't believe it. Although Zhou Yang's two songs were ridiculed and even criticized by mainstream musicians, he, as the general manager, regarded them as a treasure.

Musicality and artistry are irrelevant to him; as long as a song can make money and promote newcomers, it's a good song to him.

"Oh, right, Yangyang..."

Wang Man put down her chopsticks. "Yesterday, the production company of 'Campus Belle Falls in Love with Me' called and said that post-production has been completed and they hope that you can participate in offline promotions and roadshows."

"The School Beauty Fell in Love with Me"?

Zhou Yang was taken aback when he heard the name.

It was during the filming of this web series that she was known for exploiting the public's interest that her former self was photographed with a blonde foreign language teacher, thus becoming the "foreign language representative" in the entertainment industry.

To put it more dramatically, this show completely annihilated its predecessor and replaced it.

"No problem, just let me know when the time comes, Sister Wang."

From its release in September to November, "Learn to Meow" remained firmly at the top of the hit song charts, even making the music scene somewhat wary of cats.

However, this was its last moment of glory. Starting at the end of November, Yijia Entertainment, a dominant force in the Chinese entertainment industry, announced that two of its top-tier singers would release new songs in December. Subsequently, many other first- and second-tier singers followed suit.

Behind this wave of high-profile song releases, there are three top-notch composers.

The reason why everyone rushes to release songs in December is that they want to have a good omen for the coming year.

This way, you can not only shine at the Golden Wheat Awards ceremony held in February of the following year, but also accumulate and settle your data throughout the year, making it easier to achieve success at the Golden Wheat Awards the year after that.

As the person involved, even if Zhou Yang were to let loose and express herself freely, she would know that she couldn't possibly take on half of the pop music scene with just one song, "Learn to Meow".

Sure enough, on December 1st, new songs sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and even on the hot song charts, most of the top ten were replaced.

This includes "Learn to Meow," which dropped directly from first place to twelfth, while "All the Way to Bloom" firmly held onto its tenth place position.

It's worth mentioning that "The Peak," which was previously thoroughly outclassed by Zhou Yang, managed to secure eighth place despite being surrounded by a host of big names.

This ebb and flow fully exposes the biggest drawback of viral hits: they come and go quickly, the melodies are too simple and tiresome, they cannot withstand the test of time and have no classic qualities whatsoever.

However, Zhou Yang had no time to spare. On the fifth day of December, he received a notice from the production team of "School Beauty Falls in Love with Me" to go to Weibo's headquarters in Shanghai to participate in an offline promotional event for the web series.

Wearing a well-tailored suit, with hair styled smoother than a dog's lick, and a 95-point appearance rating from the system, Zhou Yang's arrival and pen-wielding preparation for signing in caused a frenzy among a group of young female fans.

"Yang Gege, I love you."

"Keep going, we'll always love you."

"Gege is the most handsome, always the most handsome."

"Ah! Pigeon looked at me and even smiled at me."

"..."

After signing her name, Zhou Yang tried her best to appear nonchalant, yet with a smile that hinted at doting on her fans, as she greeted the crowd.

He also noticed that there were at least a dozen signs for "mutton rice noodles," a long-established brand in the food industry, at the scene.

The director, wearing black-rimmed glasses and sporting a gray braid, remarked upon seeing Zhou Yang:

"When the news about you learning a foreign language came out, I was terrified. I thought the show would never air, but then things took a dramatic turn for the better..."

To be fair, as a top star, Zhou Yang's popularity did suffer a significant loss after being forcibly "frozen out" by Wang Man for half a year. However, his activities in the music industry at the same time have increased his depth as an artist.

Even for catchy pop songs, it's not easy to have two hits in a row, let alone a massive hit.

Seeing the director's face full of relief and satisfaction, Zhou Yang couldn't help but retort, "With a show this bad, the State Administration of Radio and Television probably won't even bother to take it down or ban it."

"..."

The so-called offline promotion of online dramas always follows a fixed procedure: the director and main creators answer questions from the media on site, talk about the "heartache and tears" during filming, and explain how difficult it was for them.

As the lead actress, Zhou Yang only needed to cooperate with the host, strike a few poses, and occasionally flirt with the group of female fans in the audience.

After the entire process was completed, the host finally remembered the other supporting actors.

Among the supporting actors, Wei Han, who made a cameo appearance as his homeroom teacher, has the highest status.

At less than 30 years old, he is already a recognized rising star in the music industry, having been nominated for the Feitian and Magnolia Awards several times, and is also a rising star promoted by Tangtian International, a major player in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Besides her acting skills, she is also flawless in her private life and public persona.

Unlike other celebrities who try to hide their marriages, he publicly announced his marriage two years ago.

His wife is an artist in the same company, a minor artist who is not even a third-tier celebrity. Although she is not very famous, her looks and figure are impeccable.

For some reason, Zhou Yang felt that this guy was looking at him with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

Did he find out about that?

After retrieving the explosive information from his predecessor's memory, Zhou Yang felt a sudden jolt.

"Mr. Wei Han, as a rising star in the entertainment industry, how would you rate Zhou Yang's acting skills in this collaboration with such a top-tier actress?"

Wei Han shook his head and said coldly, "He still has a long way to go before he can become an actor."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent, and the surrounding fans booed loudly in support of their idol.

The director gave Zhou Yang an apologetic look, but also seemed a little puzzled. They were in the entertainment industry, had no past grudges or recent conflicts, and were even in the same production crew. Why was she being so disrespectful?

Fortunately, the host reacted quickly, saying, "We all know that Mr. Wei Han is a perfect person outside of work, and we have prepared a special surprise for him..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall, slender woman with long, wavy hair, around 30 years old, slowly walked onto the stage.

A naturally alluring and slutty face always wore a smile as she swayed her slender waist and walked slowly towards us. Her watery eyes were almost drool-worthy, and her glistening red lips made her look like a bewitching fairy.

As soon as she stepped onto the stage, Zhou Yang and Wei Han's expressions changed simultaneously.

The former cursed the organizers inwardly for their blunder, while the latter forced a smile, feigning surprise, and said, "Honey, what brings you here?"

The woman looked at him, her eyes filled with deep affection, and said, "I was attending an event nearby today, and when I heard you were here, I came over."

After saying that, she gave him a tender hug.
