Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

On May 5th, "My Sunshine" premiered simultaneously on Jiangsu Satellite TV and Xingyun Video.

After the first two episodes aired, the viewership rating exceeded 1.4, and within four hours of its release on Nebula Video, the number of views on the front end exceeded 50 million, with the total number of bullet comments exceeding 200,000.

Li Chun's Weibo followers increased by nearly 1.5 million overnight.

While this increase may not be as dramatic as Dilraba's breakout role in "Swords of Legends," it represents a significant leap for Li Chun's status.

The top comments section was filled with "Zhao Mosheng is so beautiful", "Chunchun has finally been seen", and "After Si Lili, she has landed another memorable role".

Huang Xiaoming's portrayal of He Yichen has once again propelled him to the top of trending searches.

"Huang Xiaoming is playing He Yichen. Why is this man playing a domineering CEO again? Does he have some kind of obsession with it?"

"Hilarious! Huang Xiaoming really is a 'professional domineering CEO,' but this time he actually did a pretty good job. He's much better than that Lei CEO from last time."

"The cult leader rewarded himself by playing a domineering CEO again."

"Can someone please stop him from rewarding himself with a domineering CEO movie every time he makes a good film?"

Huang Xiaoming posted a still from the show on Weibo with the caption: "He Yichen reporting for duty, sorry to keep you waiting."

The comment section was instantly flooded with fans and casual viewers. The top comment was just five words: "Rewarding myself again." The number of likes surged to 40,000 within half an hour.

Li Chun reposted his Weibo post, adding the comment "Learn law from Lawyer He" and a smiley face emoji.

Huang Xiaoming replied: "Zhao, please settle the tuition."

The interaction between the two on Weibo was screenshotted and circulated wildly by netizens, directly reaching the third spot on the trending topics list.

After finishing work on set, Fu Yibai checked his phone and sent a message to Chen Xi.

"The promotional pace for 'Why Me' is good. We can add fuel to the fire and push Li Chun's momentum even higher."

Chen Xi replied immediately: "It's already being arranged. We'll release behind-the-scenes footage tomorrow, and the main cast will have a live stream together this weekend."

On May 17th, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao's relationship was no longer a secret within the entertainment circle.

The two were photographed returning to Huang Xiaoming's Beijing apartment together more and more frequently, and the paparazzi had accumulated dozens of photos. Several marketing accounts had already begun to test the waters.

Huang Xiaoming discussed it with Lin Wei twice, and finally decided to officially announce their marriage registration on May 27.

On May 27, Huang Xiaoming posted a red-background group photo on Weibo with the caption: "Please guide me for the rest of my life, Yang Tianbao."

Yang Tianbao posted the exact same photo at almost the same time, with the caption "Please give me your guidance".

The comment section exploded instantly.

"What happened? Huang Xiaoming got married?"

"Who is Yang Tianbao? How come they suddenly got their marriage certificate?"

"Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao? Really?"

"Who is Yang Tianbao? I think I've heard of him, but I don't really remember him."

"That newcomer from Huayi Brothers acted in a movie with Deng Chao, but then disappeared from the public eye. It seems like they didn't really promote him after he signed with Huayi."

"This person is quite eligible, he just hasn't encountered any good projects. Being a pampered wife would be nice."

"Getting involved with Huang Xiaoming will definitely boost your resources by several levels."

Within half an hour of the two Weibo posts being published, Huang Xiaoming's post had been forwarded over 200,000 times, and Yang Tianbao's post had been forwarded over 100,000 times.

The top three trending topics were all about the two of them: "Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao officially announced their relationship", "Huang Xiaoming got his marriage certificate", and "Who is Yang Tianbao?" These three terms were listed side by side on the list, all followed by the word "hot".

The netizens' reaction was more intense than expected.

"What is Huang Xiaoming thinking? What works has this woman produced?"

"She is indeed good-looking, but what else is there besides good looks?"

"Xiao Ming is already this age, he could find anyone he wanted, so why did he end up with some nobody?"

"They're a perfect match, what right do you monsters have to object?"

"Have you all forgotten that Huang Xiaoming is Brother Xiaoming? Does he need a woman to have good works? What he needs is someone to warm his bed when he comes home."

"Huang Xiaoming isn't young anymore, what's wrong with him finding a beautiful young wife? As long as he's happy, that's all that matters."

"Exactly, some people are just being sarcastic."

"Does Xiaoming need your permission to find someone?"

"It's just the two of them living their lives, why should outsiders interfere?"

Congratulations on your marriage!

The reactions in the Chenxi Company group chat were completely different from those on Weibo.

Huang Xiaoming posted a group photo with a red background in the group chat, along with the caption: "Thank you everyone, I have a wife now."

The group chat was instantly flooded with well wishes.

Deng Chao sent three "Congratulations" messages, followed by a string of cannon emojis.

Huang Bo typed a long message, the gist of which was that Xiao Ming had finally confessed, and there was one less person to drink with in the future.

Wang Baoqiang sent a string of thumbs-up emojis, and Lei Jiayin sent a red envelope with the note "Happy Wedding, Brother Xiaoming".

The female celebrities were also busy.

Tang Yan sent a message saying "Congratulations, Brother Xiaoming," followed by a red heart.

Yang Mi posted, "I didn't expect you two to actually get together. Congratulations!"

Li Chun said, "Congratulations to Brother Xiaoming and his wife, may your love last forever."

…………

Even Hu Jing, who rarely posts in the group, sent a message saying "Congratulations, Xiaoming."

Fu Yibai saw the message when he came out of the editing room to rest in the afternoon. He scrolled down the messages in the group and a smile appeared on his lips.

Then he went back to his office and took a script out of his desk drawer.

The cover is printed with "The Bravest".

Below the script is a line of small print: Chenxi Media Film and Television Production Department.

Fu Yibai took a picture of the script cover with his phone and posted it in the group chat with a caption.

"A wedding gift for Xiaoming."

You'll be starring in this movie with Tianbao; you can choose your own roles.

The group was silent for a few seconds.

Huang Xiaoming called almost within a minute.

Fu Yibai answered the phone, but before he could speak, he heard Huang Xiaoming excitedly say on the other end, "President Fu, this...this is too valuable."

"What's so valuable about it? You're not the only one making money for the company."

Besides, this is a company tradition, and I gave gifts to Brother Chao and the others as well.

Zhang Xinyu will send you the script later. It's a film directed by Shen Ao; take a look with Tianbao when you have some free time.

"Mr. Fu..."

"Alright, stop with the cheesy stuff, I'm hanging up."

On June 2nd, the entire series of "My Sunshine" finished airing.

The finale achieved a CSM50 city rating of over 2.1, and the cumulative front-end views on Nebula Video exceeded two billion.

With a stable Douban rating of 7.2, it has already received quite good reviews for an urban romance drama.

Li Chun became incredibly popular.

From the start of the series to the finale, her Weibo followers increased from three million to nearly seven million.

Zhao Mosheng became one of the most memorable female characters for audiences that spring.

Commercial offers came in like snowflakes. Lin Wei and her team spent three days screening them and finally settled on an endorsement deal for a high-end skincare brand, an ambassadorship deal for a luxury women's clothing brand, and two magazine covers.

Regarding the TV series, the scripts handed to her filled half the table, but Lin Wei didn't agree to any of them.

"No rush."

You're currently very popular, but you can't just take on any role. The company will make arrangements later.

Li Chun nodded understandingly and didn't ask any further questions.
