Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

In late August, just as the promotional battle between the two dramas, "The Temptation of Going Home" and "The War of the Republic," was about to erupt for their September back-to-school season broadcasts, a "Seaweed Dance" controversy, originating from Douyin (TikTok), began to sweep across the entire internet:

"

Like a seaweed

seaweed

Swaying with the waves

seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, seaweed

Dancing in the waves

seaweed

seaweed

Regardless of the raging waves

I have my own joy and carefree life

The sea of ​​people is vast and boundless.

Drifting with the tide

Life is like a dream.

Where are you, my love?

... "

Led by Lin Youyou, the Candy girl group started their video with a single-finger-to-the-sky hip-twisting pose, which sparked a frenzy of imitations across the internet, once again dominating the short video field after the previous "cat dance" ended.

The popularity was so high that even Zhou Yang, the instigator of all this, couldn't help but sigh: these catchy pop songs are ridiculously cheap in the system's exchange shop, but they are really popular and definitely a money-making and exploitative tool.

He even sometimes thought:

Why not just give up this celebrity status and start an MCN influencer incubation base? Relying on his understanding of the development history of short videos in the past, he could probably make a fortune just by cultivating influencers in various fields.

Furthermore, without outside attention and without any idol baggage, he can do whatever he wants.

However, all of this is just wishful thinking. The reason for bringing out the popular dance from the previous life is mainly to exchange it for Douyin's promotional resources for "The Temptation of Going Home".

"Yang-ge, are you getting ready to go home?"

Zhou Yang left the office, only to be blocked at the door by Lin Youyou and a group of girl group members.

His thoughts were wandering when he was suddenly drawn to the girls' outfits: all of them wore pink miniskirts that showed off their long, beautiful legs, and their upper bodies were covered by matching bow-tie shirts and long, flowing hair.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Youyou explained, "We just came back from a commercial performance event in Shanghai."

"Alright, you guys pack up and go home to rest. I have to go back now."

Since returning from Hunan Province, he hasn't gone out much, and with that vixen Xu Yingfei staying home all day, his addiction hasn't gotten too strong lately.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Youyou suddenly called out plaintively, "Brother Yang~"

"Is there anything else?"

"How about...how about we go home with you?"

As soon as Lin Youyou finished speaking, the remaining girls all showed expressions of longing.

There was a time when, apart from their captain Youyou, the rest of them were practically parched, let alone receiving any special treatment.

Looking at the girls' pitiful and aggrieved eyes, Zhou Yang's heart softened. He pointed to one of the "heavy" girls and said, "She's Xiong Da, let's go with him this time~"

Six at once is definitely not an option; he has to consider his health. This thing is good, but it's also a bone-scraping knife.

The chosen girl, Big Bear, beamed with joy. Lin Youyou generously took her arm and said to the others, "Okay! Lingling, come with me. The rest of you can go back and rest first."

Although Yang Ge chose her, as the team leader, I still have to mentor her and personally demonstrate and guide the newcomer, since Yang Ge's preferences have changed a lot since then.

After everyone else left, Zhou Yang suddenly gently tugged at her ear and said, "You won't feel at ease until you've stuffed them all into my house, will you?"

The latter raised her chin, her little face smug, and said, "It's because they all like you, what does it have to do with me?"

"My house is still too small. How about we buy a villa and keep all six of you as mistresses? What do you think?"

"real?"

Lin Youyou and Big Bear Girl immediately showed excited expressions when they heard this idea.

"Fake!"

"..."

When Zhou Yang brought the two of them home, Xu Yingfei, who had been sitting on the sofa playing on her phone, immediately stood up and said irritably, "Are you planning to get a new girl tonight?"

Zhou Yang then said, "You don't need to work tonight. Let's call a truce."

"snort!"

It was another day of entertainment industry fun. Although Zhou Yang wasn't exactly a competent artist, he was definitely a good older brother. His younger brother was very happy all night. This girl named Lingling was not only exceptionally talented, but also bold and gentle. She even made a hot dog out of his brother, something she hadn't done in a long time...

In the years that followed, both "The Republic of China in Flames of War" and "The Temptation of Going Home" were frantically building anticipation for the upcoming September battle.

The former, in particular, seems to be genuinely favored by the industry, appearing on trending topics and headlines across various platforms as if it were free.

"After three years of hard work, 'The War of the Republic' is aiming for the top spot in the ratings for the second half of the year."

"The War of the Republic of China is poised to be the top drama of the year, and the gap between CTS and Tangtian International in the small screen field may be widened further."

"Wei Han may no longer be a runner-up in the next Feitian and Magnolia Awards; if he wins, he will set a new record for the youngest person to win."

"The Warring States Period" takes you to witness the love, hate and grudges of a wealthy young man during the war years.

"A top-tier cast and crew, this is a must-watch drama series in the second half of the year."

"..."

In comparison, the promotional buzz for "The Temptation to Go Home" was much weaker. On one hand, CTS (China Television System) didn't really go all out. On the other hand, while Tencent Video and Douyin (TikTok), which Zhou Yang had acquired using resources from his previous life, did put in considerable effort in terms of promotion, they weren't exactly mainstream.

As for Hunan TV, the leading local entertainment channel in China, since they didn't buy priority broadcasting rights, they adopted a very laid-back approach to promotion.

Furthermore, whether it's Tencent Video, Douyin, or even Hunan TV, their fan base is generally too young compared to the mainstream audience, while dramas like "The Republic of China in Flames" are clearly aimed at the general public.

September arrived quickly, and Gao Xiaoyu, as usual, came to have dinner with her father.

At the dinner table, Qin Xianming noticed his youngest daughter constantly checking the time on her wrist, so he smiled and said, "Your first project after taking power premieres tonight. Are you worried about it?"

The latter said, "No, I have high hopes for 'The Temptation to Go Home,' and it may even become a new benchmark for our CTS Media's TV dramas."

No sooner had she finished speaking than her older sister, Qin Xue, poured cold water on the idea, saying, "I specifically estimated a loss of fifty million for this new benchmark project of yours."

"Hmph! Sister, please shut your mouth."

"Do you think I can guarantee your new drama won't lose money if I just shut up?"

Qin Xue was not to be outdone and immediately analyzed, "Starting with the behind-the-scenes team, you are far behind your opponent, 'The Republic of China in Flames of War.' Their director is an industry heavyweight, a renowned master of period dramas, not to mention their screenwriter..."

She paused for a moment and then continued:

"On the other hand, while Hu Dabiao has been diligent and experienced over the years, this is his first time taking on a leading role, so it's still uncertain. As for the cast, do you think Zhou Yang can compare to Wei Han, a rising star with considerable talent?"

Seeing her older sister looking down on her lover, Gao Xiaoyu immediately retorted, "How can he not compare? You're just prejudiced against him. If you don't believe me, go watch it yourself on Tencent Video tonight at 8 PM. His acting this time will absolutely blow your mind..."

Seeing the two arguing, Qin Xianming couldn't stop smiling. As he was entering his later years, he really enjoyed the harmonious scene of his family at the dinner table.

After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at his youngest daughter and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you serious about Zhou Yang?"

"Wha...what's wrong?"

The usually stern female CEO suddenly blushed and began to stammer.

Qin Xianming laughed and said, "If that's really the case, why not find an opportunity to have a meal with us so that they can get to know each other?"

"Dad, look at the way my sister talks about Zhou Yang, do you think I'd dare let him come?"

"To change my attitude, you need something. Is it just because he has a lot of scandals or a messy private life?"
