Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 120: Playing Brothers with Yang Zi?
……

……

"The Grave Robbers' Chronicles?"

"Teacher Gu, have you seen it?"

"Of course I've seen it, Pingxie... oops, I mean Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie."

Gu Qing almost blurted out, "I've read this novel, it's quite good."

The Grave Robbers' Chronicles is Nanpai Sanshu's masterpiece.
It began being serialized online in 2006 and quickly attracted the attention of a large number of readers.

The novel features Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, Wang Pangzi, and others as the main characters, and revolves around an adventure story centered around a mysterious Warring States period silk scroll.

Its nine volumes sold over 1200 million copies, becoming a legend in the publishing industry.

The most outrageous thing is,
Uncle San started writing fan fiction about tomb raiding on Tieba because he found following the updates of Ghost Blows Out the Light too slow and wasn't satisfied with the content.

Therefore, the shadows in the novel are very similar to those in Ghost Blows Out the Light in the early and middle stages.

Later, after being praised by fellow forum members, I tried posting on legitimate websites, which led to my instant fame.

of course,

Although it is a tomb raiding novel, most readers of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" are more interested in the "brotherly relationship" between the two main characters.

Usually, most novel readers are male, but this one is unique in that the number of female readers far exceeds the number of male fans.

This is also inseparable from the deliberate use of blank spaces in Uncle San's writing.

The buzz surrounding the "Pingxie" pairing on Baidu Tieba back then was comparable to the "Huangye rivalry" between Hongmao Tiandi and Xie Lingyun.

It became so popular that it went viral and even trended on social media multiple times.

"Teacher Gu, it's great that you've seen it."

The producers of Peach were very excited, saying, "Huanrui is planning to produce an exclusive drama with our platform, so we were able to get one of the lead roles."

"Ms. Gu Qing, have you considered taking on this role?"

Who do I play?

"Wu Xie! The protagonist of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles."

"Me? Wu Xie?"

Gu Qing opened her eyes slightly, questioning the meaning of life.

Does he have the same delicate temperament as the young master?

Outside the car window,
Zhao Ya, who was eavesdropping, almost couldn't help but let out a sharp scream.

"Sister Xu, what you said must be wrong."

Gu Qing snapped out of her daze and asked, puzzled, "Even if Huanrui is willing to give up a lot in its cooperation with your platform, it shouldn't be enough to relinquish the decision-making power for the male lead to you, right?"

"Um... Professor Gu Qing, you guessed right."

The producer of Peach awkwardly crumpled the wet wipes into a ball. "This drama is positioned as a dual male lead series. Huanrui gave the role of Zhang Qiling to Yang Yang. The contract has already been signed. He's the kid who played the role in the new Dream of Red Mansions."

As for the male lead, Wu Xie, Huan Rui said he could compete with Li Yifeng, a male artist under his management, and let his performance speak for itself.

"Li Yifeng?"

Gu Qing slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Isn't this blatantly using traffic to bully people?

Who can compete with the four top stars for the lead role?

The only possibility of being able to compete is if the opponent is also one of the top four celebrities!
and many more,

He seems to be a top star, right?

"Teacher Gu, if you were to compete with Li Yifeng, our platform would definitely support you!"

"There'll be nothing Huanrui can do if he's dissatisfied then."

"That's what the producer of Peach said confidently."

She's definitely not a mindless fan...

Ok,

She's actually a die-hard fan of Gu Qing.

After watching the two episodes of "The Journey of Flower" at the press conference, especially Gu Qing's performance after her appearance, I was impressed.

She was certain that this show would be a huge hit.

When,

With the boost from the wildly popular drama "Gu Qing", the show's popularity will definitely reach new heights.

"I was doing this for the platform's benefit, was I wrong?"

She comforted herself, and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

Rather than having Li Yifeng from their rival company play 'Wu Xie',
Of course, she supports Gu Qing, the idol of hers.

"Will you be playing Wu Xie?... "

Hesitation was evident in Gu Qing's eyes.

In his previous life, he had certainly watched the TV series "The Lost Tomb" starring Li Yifeng and Yang Yang.

The plot quality is a mess, a complete disaster.
It's really hot!

The show's ratings were driven to record highs by enthusiastic fans.

Yang Yang, who played Zhang Qiling, was a male artist who had been famous since childhood, and his status as a first-tier male star was directly challenged.

This will also lay the foundation for him to become one of the four top celebrities in the future.

Currently,

Gu Qing's criteria for acting are only two: "Good ratings but poor reviews, good reviews but poor ratings."

This novel, "The Lost Tomb," clearly meets the first criterion.

"Could she play brothers with Yang Zi...?"

Gu Qing's expression changed, her eyebrows furrowed, and she was caught in a dilemma and struggle.

"Little brother, look..."

"Peach's producer asked expectantly."

Made,

That's it!

Wasn't his brother's sacrifice even greater?

When is the audition?

Gu Qing took a gamble.

If Yang Zi dares to cheat him
He will definitely throw a 'deliberate punch'!
“Brother, it’s still early. We’re still planning. We have at least another month.”

The producer of Peach couldn't stop smiling. "You have plenty of time to prepare."

We chatted briefly for a few more minutes.
Zhao Ya opened the car door and saw the person off.

When she got back into the car, she secretly observed through the rearview mirror, and was in a state of extreme excitement.

"Go ahead and call out if you want."

Gu Qing lowered her head and wiped her hands.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Boss!! You are Wu Xie himself!!"

After Zhao Ya finished speaking, her face flushed with excitement, "Li Yifeng looks so old, how could he possibly play the innocent and naive Third Master well?"

"Boss, this role is perfect for you!"

"You are the chosen one!!"

"Alright, alright, whether we get selected or not is another matter."

Gu Qing felt that the chances of being selected were only fifty-fifty.

Although he has platform support, Li Yifeng is an artist under Huanrui Entertainment.

They have the home advantage, so their chances of winning are higher.

"The only thing we can do is improve our acting skills."

Gu Qing pinched the bridge of her nose. "Sister Xiaoya, remember to buy me a set of the original novel when you get back."

"receive!!"

……

Four days passed in a flash.
June 9th, evening: 7:50 PM.

——Little Bilibili

Room number '667': Title: "Qiwu's Singing Hut"

"If you shed a single tear, if I can stay with you when we grow old."

"To turn to ash in the mist and waves is a perfect departure..."

Qi Wu sang the last line of the lyrics for "Puppet Show" to the accompaniment.

The live stream had nearly two thousand viewers, and the chat was filled with scrolling comments.
"Good Ting! Good Ting!"

"Goddess Qiwu, could you please sing 'Watching from the Sidelines' again?"

I want to hear "Just Met You"!

Fans enthusiastically showered the fans with gifts.

"Sorry, everyone, it's almost 8 o'clock, I have to go support my little brother's TV series."

Qi Wu was dressed in an ancient-style gauze dress, her beautiful face showing anticipation.

"Is it Gu Qing?"

"Haha, the streamer is also a member of the Gu family?"

"Double chef ecstasy!"

"Upstairs, didn't you know that when the streamer covered 'Puppet Show,' Gu Qing liked and commented on it?"

Gu Qing's casual comment

This caused Qi Wu's popularity to more than double during this period, with his number of fans reaching over 600,000.

Almost now,
The top tier of content creators in the traditional Chinese style circle on Bilibili.

How could Qi Wu not become a fan of Gu Qing?
She's good-looking, sings well, and her career is soaring.

These are angels!

"I remember Hua Qiangu was adapted into a web series, wasn't it?"

"Qiqi, you can watch it in the live stream."

There were bullet comments reminding people.

"right."

"But wouldn't that be against the rules?"

Qi Wu smiled happily, "Forget it, who cares? I'm not short of money!"

She was very happy to be able to support Gu Qing with the fans in the live stream.

"By the way, kids, if you're at home, you can turn on the TV and tune to Huangguo TV. That counts towards your little brother's viewership."

Qi Wu is meticulous; she had already switched the TV in the living room to Huangguo TV.

"Qiqi is too thin!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

quickly,

With nearly two thousand people watching, Qi Wu clicked on the first episode of the web series that was updated and released.

"Clear Men's -"

The nearly 90-second advertisement caused all viewers to suddenly go black.

"I'm speechless. Ads used to be 30 seconds long, how come they've all gone up to 90 seconds now?"

Qi Wu was so angry that she opened her phone and bought a membership, "Does this mean I'll have to get a VVIP membership to watch this in the future?"

Finally, the ads were skipped.

The first episode of The Journey of Flower finally aired.

"A cursed lone star, haha, I didn't expect female-oriented novels to follow this formula, the protagonist dies wherever he goes."

"Zhao Liying is so cute, she doesn't look out of place playing a young girl at all."

"Yes, yes, yes, I love her most in 'Boss & Me'. She can portray a naive and innocent character without making the audience feel disgusted. Her acting skills are absolutely top-notch."

"Good heavens, it's white tofu!"

"I'm moved to tears, it feels like stepping back into the world of Chinese Paladin!"

The number of comments in the live stream chat skyrocketed.

Where is my younger brother?

Qi Wu wanted to fast forward, but was afraid of missing Gu Qing's appearance.

Just like countless fans who were tormented in front of their television sets.

at last,

When the second episode aired, Gu Qing and Huo Jianhua confronted each other.

The live stream chat froze as soon as Gu Qing's face was brought to a close.

"???"

"!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Qi Wu covered her face with both hands and screamed.

at the same time,

"Gu Qing has made her appearance."

"It exploded! It exploded!!"

"It used to be 1.8, now it's 2.3!!"

"It's still rising! It's still rising!"

The production crew was also shouting.

Gu Qing's three-minute scene has ended.

The ratings settled at '2.7'!
Although not as exaggerated as the 3.0 rating of the premiere of "The Empress of China".

But they have exclusive rights to broadcast it!
not to mention,
As for the actors, there's the ongoing publicity stunt involving Bingbing and Li Chen as a couple.

In this drama, besides Gu Qing,

But there was nothing there!

After the two episodes aired,

The average viewership rating for "The Journey of Flower" remained at 2.2.

Currently, a TV series is considered to have a good viewership rating if it breaks 1%.

The TV series "The Journey of Flower" achieved a viewership rating of over 2.

It's definitely going to explode!!
