Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 130 Li Yifeng: I will quit drinking starting today!

Chapter 130 Li Yifeng: I will quit drinking from today onwards!

……

"Gu Qing Wu Xie?! Gu Qing Wu Xie?!"

"boom!"

The conference room door was kicked open, and Li Yifeng, who was enjoying his vacation at the hotel, stormed in, furious. He slammed his hands on the table and roared at his agent.
"Sister Dong, why am I only finding out about this now?!"

"I'm the top male star of Huanrui Entertainment, acting in my own company's script, and I have to compete with others for roles?! What will the outside world think of me?!"

Especially when he was ordering takeout on his phone, he actually saw the following trending search term:

#Gu Qingtian chose Wu Xie#
#DaomuBiFansCarnival#
#Gu Qing - The Most Satisfactory Casting by Book Fans#
How explosive was his mood?

The agent, known as "Sister Dong," gestured for her assistant to leave and gently closed the door. "Fengfeng, Taozi only said they need to re-evaluate."

"What are you assessing? Are you assessing whether I, a top star, am going to compete with others for a role?!"

Li Yifeng ripped open his collar, his chest heaving with rage. "And this damn bastard, why didn't he mention the evaluation when he was begging me to act? Now the show hasn't even started filming and he wants to replace her?"

"Sigh, Fengfeng, what can you do when your competitors are also top-tier celebrities?"

Sister Dong sighed, "This is a mistake on the company's part. We originally thought you were a top star. Even if we gave Taozi an audition opportunity, which artist would dare to come up and choose?"

"But Gu Qing just happened to come; he was clearly here for revenge."

The previous press release about the "cold-resistant school heartthrob"

They've been targeting Gu Qing relentlessly, and fans from both sides are constantly hurling insults at each other.

Now that the main star has taken some time off and has the hugely popular "The Journey of Flower" as a foundation, they have a significant advantage in competing with "The Lost Tomb".

Sister Dong clicked on the screen to open episode 32 of "The Journey of Flower," and the scene of Sha Qianmo covered in blood was displayed on the projection screen.

In the scene, Gu Qing's blood-stained fingers brushed across Zhao Liying's cheek, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and tenderness that was heart-wrenching.

Li Yifeng's expression changed slightly. This was the first time he had seen Gu Qing act. Wasn't this kid a trainee?
Where did you learn acting skills?!
"Did you know? Just this one scene with Gu Qing helped Hua Qiangu's ratings break through to 3.7, which is a percentage point higher than the ratings of your Bone Sword after it finished airing."

"If Wu Zetian hadn't been broadcast on three different platforms and hadn't been heavily promoted, this drama would have already broken the record set by Huangguo TV!"

"Now fans are saying that when Qianmo died, the audience's hearts were broken, but when you, Baili Tusu, died, everyone just wanted to set off firecrackers."

Sister Dong pulled up the public opinion monitoring chart, where the blue curve representing Gu Qing was frantically engulfing Li Yifeng's red territory. "What's more troublesome is that your personalities and business fields have all collided."

"Your persona is that of the nation's school heartthrob, while his is the nation's little brother. Both of you are portrayed as having a sunny and clean image, but he is only 20 years old this year, which makes it easier for him to attract fans."

"In the music industry, your album sales don't even match the sales of one of his songs. In film and television, I heard he has an unreleased drama where he plays the lead role and a cameo role as the third male lead in a movie..."

"Sister Dong, stop talking!"

"Is this the crux of the problem?!"

What will happen to my show?!

Li Yifeng had a splitting headache. He grabbed the gilded lighter on the coffee table, lit a cigarette, and forced himself to stay calm.

He thought of the recent cover of Harper's Bazaar:

Summer cicadas chirping, willows swaying gently,
A handsome young man in a white shirt stood under a tree, gazing at the shimmering lake in the distance. He was truly beautiful and refined, with an elegant and graceful air.

Even if you don't want to admit it,

temperament and face

He... can't compare!
"Fengfeng, I'm not saying all this to embarrass you, but you need to try to focus your mind on important matters."

Sister Dong earnestly advised, "Just because you became a top star after one hit drama doesn't mean you can rest easy. Why are you always thinking about creating scandals instead of acting more during this time?"
"It's one thing to associate yourself with Wu Xin from Happy Camp—she's genuinely single—but why are you pairing yourself with Yang Mi? She's married, didn't you know?!"

"Can you take a look at Gu Qing? Why is he able to threaten you?"

"It's because they know that whether or not your fans support you in the Chinese entertainment industry is the most important thing!"

"Even with Yang Ying, who already has a boyfriend, he refused to create a CP (couple pairing) with her. He'd rather have the fan club disband due to a huge feud than lose his clean image. But what about you?!"

“I…” Li Yifeng was speechless, unable to utter a word due to frustration.

His purpose in creating a scandal with Wu Xin was simple: to gain traffic and exposure.

Zhang Jie, who was also a contestant on a talent show, was on the show so many times that he was practically fed into becoming a top-tier male celebrity.

Of course, whether or not one lives up to expectations in the future is another matter.

But to those in the industry who consider themselves exceptional, what they lack most is opportunity!

But Li Yifeng never expected this.
After "Bone Sword" finished airing, he immediately became a top star of the new generation, so why would he need to create a scandal with a host?
As for why he was involved in a scandal with Yang Mi?
That's even simpler.

He was lusting after Da Mimi's body.

A top-tier actress, curvaceous, sexy and charming, and also possessing wifely qualities.
Who could not love it?
"Now there is only one way left."

Sister Dong pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Even if you compete with Gu Qing on the same stage, with our company as guarantor, you still have a slight advantage over him."

"By the way, how's your script reading going lately?"

Li Yifeng: "..."

"You didn't even look at it?"

"What have you been doing all this time?!"

Sister Dong was going crazy. "You knew you were going to act in 'The Lost Tomb' two months earlier than Gu Qing. Now, book fans are all praising him as the chosen Wu Xie. If you don't work harder, how will you beat him?!"

"The internet is hailing him as the number one actor of the new generation. Even if I actually read the script, how could I possibly outact him?"

Li Yifeng has given up, but he has very high expectations for the company.

"I'm going to act in this drama no matter what, you guys figure it out."

He's a top-tier celebrity, plus the number one star.
If a company can't act in its own scripts, the company itself will obviously suffer the greatest economic loss.

"you--"

Sister Dong wanted to curse, but she forced herself to swallow it back.
There's no way around it, the number one guy is just tough.

"Fengfeng, the company will certainly do its best to help you with your affairs, but during this period, I don't want to see you going to bars or hanging out with any female artists anymore. Just stay home and study your scripts."

Sister Dong said helplessly, "If you don't work harder, then your top-tier status... will probably come to an end."

Hearing this,

Li Yifeng finally felt a sense of crisis.

Losing his top status, isn't that worse than being killed?
Born into a wealthy family, he certainly wasn't short of money.

Before I became famous, I was just casually dabbling in the entertainment industry and didn't think there was anything special about me.

But after becoming a top star,

Overnight, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

Attending ceremonies and banquets, they are always the center of attention.

Girls who used to require some effort now fawn over him like they're free.

It's more than just a "cool" experience.

"We must maintain our top-tier status!"

Li Yifeng was energized.
He made up his mind.
