Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 119 Tomb Raider Notes
……

……

"It was worth it, today's ticket was worth it."

"I don't even need to watch the rest of the plot. Just look at Gu Qing's appearance. If the show doesn't become a hit, I'll do a handstand and wash my hair!"

"Holy crap, I still can't accept it. It's almost unbelievably beautiful!"

"Why is it that a man can be my type?!"

"I love the long-haired younger brother!!"

Female viewers covered their mouths in disbelief, while male viewers questioned the meaning of life.

Gu Qing's short hair gave them a certain impression.
Simply put: with delicate features, clean and refreshing appearance, and a pair of warm eyes, she gives people the feeling of constantly radiating a friendly aura, making it hard not to feel good about her.

But this kind of beauty is not aggressive at first glance.

Although it can win favor with people of all ages, it is difficult to evoke that feeling of love at first sight.

To put it bluntly, it's lust!

Gu Qing mostly evokes a sense of protectiveness in his female fans, creating a kind of nurturing joy.

But now,
His appearance as 'Sha Qianmo' on screen is a far cry from his usual image as a well-behaved younger brother.

Domineering, melancholic, and stunningly beautiful.
especially,
"Did you kill Qingxu?"

Gu Qing narrowed her phoenix eyes and glanced at her subordinate, her pupils radiating an eerie and sharp light. Her questioning tone made the female audience members stand with their legs together.

Oh no, I want to get a beating from my brother!

"He...is mine."

After Gu Qing protected his subordinates, he coldly said this to Bai Zihua.

"Gu Qing, I want to be yours too!!"

A female audience member shouted this out.

"Hahaha--"

Laughter rose and fell.

Gu Qing looked slightly embarrassed and tried to touch her nose to ease the awkwardness.

But his left and right hands were completely held tightly by Zhao Liying and Jiang Xin, and he couldn't pull them away even if he wanted to.

"Little brother, you are so handsome!"

The empress became infatuated.
This was the first time Jiang Xin had seen Gu Qing's appearance. "Do you know that once you appear in this costume, all of us female artists will be criticized to death?"

"Our tracks are different, so it shouldn't matter, right?"

"How could it not have an impact?"

Zhao Liying stared intently at Gu Qing with her bright eyes, "If the audience sees that we can't even compare to your appearance, won't they ridicule us mercilessly?"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Gu Qing carefully examined herself on the screen, her brows furrowed deeply.

He genuinely thought it was just so-so.

The version of Dongfang Bubai that Lin Qingxia, whom I studied under, is far inferior to hers.

From the dialogue, expressions, eye contact, and even the use of gestures,

In Gu Qing's opinion, none of them were up to standard.

Especially in terms of makeup and styling,
He was wearing heavy makeup, including eyeshadow, and his lips were glossy. If it weren't for his good temperament, he wouldn't have looked vulgar.

He's probably no different from a top male escort at a nightclub.

Of the three dramas she has appeared in so far,
Gu Qing's favorite character is still his third brother, Jin Yichuan, from the movie "Brotherhood of Blades".

The clothes are cool, the action scenes are exciting, and the character is normal.
It gave him a sense of why some actors would rather forgo their pay to participate in a good script.

Good scripts are really too few.

on the screen,
After the standoff between Gu Qing and Huo Jianhua ended, he was temporarily removed from the show.

The audience lost interest in watching and started chattering about Gu Qing's appearance.

Especially for the brands responsible for publicity, their inspiration is flowing like a spring, and they've already figured out how to promote their products.

The production team was also very perceptive.
Since no one was paying attention, they simply turned it off and moved on to the closing segment of the press conference.

The main creative team was called up on stage for a group photo.

After expressing his gratitude, the press conference was adjourned.

Gu Qing had been saying goodbye to Jiang Xin and Zhao Liying, who were reluctant to part, and was ready to leave.

However, the production team persuaded them to stay.
They said it was about the publicity of his personal image and wanted to discuss it in detail.

When Gu Qing and her assistant entered the conference room, in addition to the executives of the three major companies, the production company's producers and investors were also present.

After entering, there was another round of pleasantries.

All they wanted to do was compliment his good looks, hug and shake his hand, trying to take advantage of his status as a top celebrity.

Gu Qing wouldn't keep a cold face. Now that she's in the entertainment industry, it's inevitable to be taken advantage of. As long as it's not excessive, she should still laugh.

Even the most famous people can't escape this common practice.

After generating laughs, the benefits will follow. The production team plans to elevate the pre-broadcast promotion of Gu Qing to a new level, surpassing Zhao Liying and Huo Jianhua, making her the sole core of the drama.

The other three major companies did the same, and the posters on their homepages all tried to place Gu Qing between the male and female leads.

Thankfully, Gu Qing is a normal person.
If it were anyone else, they might have agreed on a whim.

Put a second male lead between the male and female leads?
With his massive following, he could definitely handle it, but the way he tries to profit from it is just too ugly.

"Just continue as usual. I've been trending too much lately, I don't need to be on the hot search list anymore."

Gu Qing shook her head slightly and smiled, "Of course, after the drama airs, I'll happily accept whatever promotion you bosses want to give me."
"But let's not do this before the show airs. The male and female leads are Wallace Huo and Li Ying; I don't need to steal the spotlight."

"Brother Gu, since you've put it that way, how can we brothers refuse?"

"He's become a top star, yet he remains so low-key and humble. No wonder he's so popular."

"Little brother, how about we have dinner together tonight? We can talk about work over dinner?"

The producers from the three major companies asked.

"I'm sorry, everyone, my artist has a schedule tonight and needs to catch the next flight, so there's really no way to go out for dinner."

After expressing her apologies, Zhao Ya skillfully took out her work phone and said, "If it's convenient, we can add each other's contact information. If you have any needs, we can contact each other via WeChat."

"Uh... okay."

If the superficial politeness is done well, they have no reason to be angry.

After adding the assistant's contact information, people left one after another.

—In the car outside the venue,
"Sister Xiaoya, well done."

Gu Qing took the wet wipes that Zhao Ya handed her and wiped her hands.

After being squeezed and held by dozens of people, these hands would probably start to smell pungent if they weren't cleaned.

"Hehe, boss, it's only right."

Zhao Ya laughed happily.

Just as they were about to tell the driver to start the car,
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu, please wait a moment."

A male employee hurriedly ran over.

"Boss, they said the female producer of Peach wants to talk to you."

After understanding the situation, Zhao Ya spoke through the car window.

"Brother Zhou, stop the car."

Gu Qing put down the disassembled wet wipes.

Oh well, I have to wipe it again.

"Mr. Xu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Web series?"

Zhao Ya got out of the car and started chatting with someone.

"Xiaoya, let Sister Xu get in the car."

Gu Qing spoke through the window.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, it was my oversight. Come on, get in the car."

Zhao Ya helped open the car door.

"Brother Gu Qing, you're too kind."

The producer of Peach is a middle-aged woman with a bright demeanor and average appearance. "I've been following you since the Running Man days. I'm a member of your Gu family."

Previously, the film purchasing department was all men, and actresses were required to accompany them for meals and conversations.

After the man retires,
As the tides turn, female film buyers have become the mainstream on major TV stations and video platforms.

We need to have the male actor keep us company while we eat and chat!

"Sister Xu, thank you for your support."

Gu Qing then pulled out a wet wipe and handed it over, asking, "What exactly is this web series you were talking about?"

Things are not like they used to be.

The online drama market is no longer sluggish.

As young people gradually gain more control of the discourse, they are no longer as fond of television as before, and prefer to watch dramas on their mobile phones.

His film, "The Journey of Flower," will also be broadcast simultaneously on online platforms.

Just a few years later, almost all the dramas filmed by top-tier celebrities were released online.

"Brother Gu Qing, this is what happened."

The producer, Peach, beamed with delight as she accepted the wet wipes. "Our platform and Huanrui Company plan to collaborate on an S+ level web series."
It's a very popular novel, I don't know if you've heard of it, little brother, it's called "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment.
"The Grave Robbers' Chronicles?"
