Huayu after the system left

........

Regarding Li Xue's entry into the entertainment industry to act.

Zhou Yang neither opposed nor supported it.

One core idea is...

Let's just assume she went in to play.

As for the bold statement about stepping on Liu Shishi, that's quite audacious.

It was just Li Xue venting his resentment.

Even people outside the entertainment industry know that Fan Bingbing is the only female celebrity in the industry who can do this right now.

After all, he was a fierce warrior who had fought his way up since the primitive era.

But what Zhou Yang didn't know was...

When he called Cai Yinong, Liu Shishi, his primary target of suspicion, was right beside him.

Wait until the call ends.

She asked, somewhat curiously, "K-sister, who are you calling an ingrate?"

"Jin Chen, I'm so angry! I don't know who she's hooked up with in Yanjing, she actually managed to go directly to Zhou Yang to talk about terminating her contract."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I do know that."

"Huh? I remember you and her weren't very close."

"We're not close, but I'm certain she got involved with Li Xue."

"Who is Li Xue? It sounds like a girl's name."

"Zhou Yang's ex-girlfriend."

Liu Shishi remained calm as she said this.

It was as if the matter had nothing to do with them at all.

Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong immediately spat out the water in her mouth, wiped her mouth, and asked incredulously, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Jin Chen is Li Xue's best friend. They both came to the Beijing Dance Academy from Jinan. I did a thorough investigation back then. Isn't that what you taught me, Sister K? You have to figure out all of the other person's interpersonal relationships before you take any action."

"My God, why didn't you ever tell me this? If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have signed that ingrate in the first place. What a waste of a leading lady."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi laughed and said, "I did want to say it at first, but Jin Chen kept subtly provoking me, which I found quite amusing, so I didn't say anything. I didn't expect her to be so upset."

"You little schemer, aren't you afraid Zhou Yang will find out?"

"Who told you that your little brother doesn't know? He's so smart, even if he didn't remember who Jin Chen was before, he's definitely figured everything out now."

Cai Yinong immediately asked, "So he didn't know I was involved in what happened back then, right?"

"Don't worry, how could I possibly betray you, my matchmaker?"

"That's good, that's good. I was counting on Zhou Yang to make Tangren bigger and stronger."

Just then.

Liu Shishi received a text message on her phone. After reading it, she smiled and handed it over, saying, "Don't worry, Sister K, my relationship with that brat is much stronger than you think. Even if he finds out, it won't matter."

But Cai Yinong was stunned after reading it.

Because the content was...

Sister, just a routine report: Li Xue and I are getting back together tonight.

She's starting to have some trouble understanding the relationship between the two.

They're like siblings, yet they're incredibly close; but if you say they're lovers, something just doesn't seem right.

In this regard.

Liu Shishi said that she herself did not know.

But one thing is very clear.

That means you absolutely cannot let your little brother be given to someone else.

As for Li Xue, his ex-girlfriend with whom he still has lingering ties, he can tolerate her as long as she doesn't cause any trouble.

Because Liu Shishi knew.

Her real competitor was never a real person, but a two-dimensional character named Lu Xueqi.

A white moonlight that was continuously beautified in Zhou Yang's heart day after day and year after year.

How can she compare?

Liu Shishi knew this very well.

In the past two years, Zhou Yang has devoted a great deal of energy to preparing for "Zhu Xian". The financial expenditure alone has reached nine figures, not to mention the numerous drafts of the script that were scrapped.

She believed it.

Once those things are made public, any major character in "Zhu Xian" will be in high demand.

It's no exaggeration to say that this kind of project, which isn't about making money but about fulfilling dreams, is incredibly successful.

Thinking about these things.

Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel smug.

hum.

My brat refused so readily before, so in the end, I'll have to play the role of Lu Xueqi. There's no one in the entertainment industry more suitable than me right now.

........

If Zhou Yang knew what Liu Shishi was thinking at this moment...

He was definitely on high alert and began laying the groundwork for Chen Duling's role as Lu Xueqi.

The most crucial point is definitely making a promise to ensure that one will never transfer one's bias towards Lu Xueqi to the actress who plays her.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Moreover, Zhou Yang has been busy with more important things these past few days.

I'm learning macroeconomics from Brother Wang.

The aim is to re-examine the entertainment industry from a different perspective, beyond simply considering it a matter of capital.

Zhou Yang then realized that his views were somewhat outdated.

Previously.

He has always believed that there are all sorts of cliques in the entertainment industry.

But in fact.

Those cliques have long since become defunct in name only.

After all, people have subjective initiative, and all those working in the entertainment industry, whether actors or behind the scenes, will move between different circles for various reasons.

Its core driving force is profit.

The closer we get to the present, the more obvious the traces of being driven by profit become.

Modern business is characterized by a community of shared interests, a modern corporate system, and a profit distribution pattern based on equity and nominee shareholding. The entertainment industry has already entered an era of financialization and securitization.

However, many practitioners in the field have not yet felt this change.

Driven by strong inertia, they are accustomed to adding a prefix to their names, such as "circle," making this kind of circle-based language still quite popular.

Especially celebrities.

Just like.

Fabricate a mysterious story about a "Beijing socialite" or a "Hong Kong socialite prince".

This kind of vague narrative based on geographical location, mentorship, and nepotism, filtered through a conspiracy theory lens, mystifies normal cooperation and personal connections.

They then inflated their value through continuous hype.

Essentially, it's the same as the commercial premium generated by starring in movies.

While interpersonal relationships and social etiquette are certainly important, these superficial things are merely side dishes in the face of truly substantial distribution of benefits.

because of this.

Zhou Yang had just realized that it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

Because that group of people were disguised as capital from the very beginning, they circulated and invested in Qing Dynasty dramas while the circle still existed, gradually forming a trend that glorifying the Qing Dynasty could make money.

can only say.

The limitations of the era allowed them to achieve temporary success.

That style of play would be absolutely impossible to implement nowadays.

In other words, they took advantage of the lack of information at the time.

that time.

The entertainment industry is a true pyramid structure, with resources highly concentrated in the hands of a few old-timers.

It not only has film and television resources, but also traditional media such as television stations, newspapers, and magazines, so it can be said that it has almost controlled the entire industry.

Back then, if you wanted to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, you had to fawn over them.

This creates a very cruel reality.

Audiences have never had a say in film and television content.

Six big characters – Take a look if you want, get lost if you don't.

That's why.

Some long-established works start criticizing the audience after suffering a major setback, because that's what they've always done.

It is only now that the internet has developed, greatly weakening the power held by those old-timers, otherwise they could still be feeding the audience shit without restraint.
