Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 138 Old 9th Gate

Chapter 138 The Nine Gates

……

"Of course... I don't want to."

Without even thinking, Gu Qing decisively refused, "Sister Xu, if I sign, I can only act in one S+ film a year. If I don't sign, I can act in as many films as I want in a year."

"Brother, I personally agree with your idea."

As a die-hard fan, Sister Xu naturally wouldn't be angry because Gu Qing refused.

Instead, they joined him in vehemently criticizing Li Yifeng's shamelessness.

"Let's stop here for now. Looks like I need to book my flight back tonight."

Gu Qing hung up the phone.

"Boss, here's your Wu Xie!!"

The assistant wailed, "That Li Yifeng is so shameless! How could he do such a thing?"

Her heart is breaking!
"Sister Xiaoya, it should be your Wu Xie, right?"

Gu Qing shook her head helplessly.

He really wanted to act, but what could he do?
Go sell yourself?

Gu Qing was also very upset.

He prepared for this play for a long time, and even read the original novel from cover to cover.

But who could have imagined that Li Yifeng would pull this stunt?

He had nothing to say but admire him.

I thought the matter was over.
But who would have thought that in the following days,
The Chinese entertainment industry is once again in turmoil.

First, Taoyuan Entertainment announced that Li Yifeng had become an exclusive contracted artist with the platform, causing a major upheaval.

Many brokerage firms were bewildered.
Is this guy an idiot?

Top celebrities signing exclusive contracts?

This means that besides this one platform,
The other two productions are ones you can't even act in.
How much money will this cost?!

Moreover, acting is only one aspect.

You can forget about getting any endorsements, promotions, or anything involving the other two major companies.

The actual losses are too great to estimate.

Then, the next day,
Huanrui continues his antics, announcing that Li Yifeng has successfully landed the role of Wu Xie in "The Lost Tomb".

"Huh? Wasn't Gu Qing supposed to audition for Wu Xie? Where did this Li Yifeng come from?!"

"Bro, did you only recently get online? Even before Gu Qing, there were rumors that Li Yifeng was going to star in The Lost Tomb."

"Fans of the original novel are saying: 'We can't accept it! How does he look like Wu Xie?!'"

"I'm laughing. My Fengfeng doesn't look like him, but you do? Can you go back and take a look at your ugly face?"

"Haha, even in fair competition, he couldn't beat my Fengfeng. Gu Dingliu's acting skills aren't good either."

For a time,

Press releases are everywhere, all criticizing Gu Qing's acting skills as inferior to Li Yifeng's.

The wounded bees are ready to regroup and make a triumphant return.

Unexpectedly,

The press release was issued on the very first day.
Gu Qing directly commented on Weibo, without any pretense.

The first post reads: "What can I do if I can't kill cockroaches by swatting them?" It includes a picture of a shoe insole and a flattened cockroach.

After that, a second message was posted.
"@The Lost Tomb @Huanrui Century @Li Yifeng: 'Stop playing dead, release audition clips and let your fans see who has the best acting skills!'"

They called out names directly, tearing off all pretense of civility.

Gu Qing is very angry right now.

It doesn't matter if I lose the audition.

But can you say his acting skills are inferior to Li Yifeng's?
That's like stuffing cilantro into his mouth!
Who the hell are you trying to disgust?!
At this time of year
Many celebrities treat their blogs like their personal social media feeds, and they occasionally engage in online spats and tag each other in conversations.

At best, they're only at the level of top-tier celebrities.

Today has made history.

Gu Qing's fans were obviously overjoyed.

The assertive and confident person in charge undoubtedly instilled confidence in them.

"Come on, officials, stop pretending to be dead. Release the audition clips of the two people and let the real bystanders judge."

"Don't be angry, little brother. Anyone with a brain knows how Li Moufeng got in."

"They just announced that he had become Taozi's exclusive contracted artist, and then they immediately secured the rights to 'The Lost Tomb'. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on here."

"Hilarious! His face's been slapped so many times already, and he's still trying to scam people?"

After several defeats, the bees were demoralized, their team was disorganized, and they were unable to form an effective fighting force.

They were easily crushed and beaten by the 'Gu family members', and couldn't even protect their own master's comment section.

The Taozi platform was also affected and was bombarded by Gu Qing's fans.

He vehemently criticized Taobao for being condescending and deliberately deceiving his artists into auditions in order to generate hype and increase their popularity.

Tens of thousands of fans flooded the comments section with negative reviews, and many others posted videos online uninstalling the software, with long-time members no longer renewing their subscriptions.

This is obviously a heavy blow to large companies.

Most of the fans of celebrities are paid users of the official content. They are naive, rich, and easy to please. Just praise their idols a bit, and the money will flow in.

Video platforms desperately need people like these. If Gu Qing, as a top influencer, were to have his fans collectively protest, maliciously inflate ratings, and uninstall the app,

This is a major blow to the platform.

By the time we finished lunch,
Gu Qing glanced at his phone and found that there was still no response; the press release praising Li Yifeng's acting skills and belittling him had been taken down.

In the past,

He then stopped, leaving each other with some dignity.

But nowadays,

The best way to deal with cockroaches is the top-voted comment in his comment section: "Increase the dosage!"

"@Huanrui Century @Li Yifeng: Still not posting? Then I'll post it."

Before Gu Qing could make a call,
After his blog post was published,

The loyal 'Sister Xu' called first.

"Little brother, great news! Great news!"

"Momoba has backed down!!"

Sister Xu was very agitated, "They specifically asked me to come and apologize to you."

Gu Qing: "..."

Sister Xu, you've really nailed that elbow!
he likes.

"Sister Xu, a belated apology is meaningless."

Gu Qing definitely wouldn't accept it.

"Little brother, don't worry, how can an apology alone make up for it?"

Sister Xu said excitedly, "A drama! The platform has specially compensated you with an S-level drama featuring the male lead!"

"I…"

"Little brother, let me finish. You'll definitely love this show."

Sister Xu was prescient.

"What show?"

Gu Qing patiently waited.

"The Mystic Nine!"

"The Nine Gates?"

The name of the drama sounded somewhat familiar to Gu Qing.

"This series is the predecessor of The Lost Tomb, and it is also a work by Nanpai Sanshu."

Sister Xu said, "This is what my third uncle told me after you left. He felt that your image and temperament were a perfect match for a character in his work. If you could play the role, it would definitely be a hit!"

"who?"

"Nine Gates - February Red!"

"Er Yuehong..."

Gu Qing vaguely remembered it.

Isn't this just a drama with two male leads, like the one between Lay Zhang and Chen Weiting from a past life?
"I remember that The Mystic Nine's reputation and viewership ratings were better than The Lost Tomb, right?"

I haven't actually watched the Gu Qing drama; I've only occasionally seen some video clips.

He never even got to read the first edition of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles.

It is inferred from this that

The popularity of The Mystic Nine is still higher.

"Sister Xu, your big factory has a really good plan."

Gu Qing was tempted, but her voice remained calm, "Do you want me to have a duel with Li Yifeng?"

"Little brother, you guessed right."

Sister Xu smiled sheepishly.

If two top stars can both star in a drama produced by Taobao, it would put them ahead of the other two production companies.

This has greatly improved her performance.

Furthermore, without a doubt,

Based on the dramatic feud between Gu Qing and Li Yifeng,
Once these two dramas air, the attention from fans and viewers will surely be at its peak!
