Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 267 Su Yunjin doesn't need to repay what she owes me!

……

……

"what?"

"Liu Tianxian?"

Gu Qing held her phone, her brows furrowed slightly, her tone genuinely bewildered.

How did he get involved with this legendary "most resilient" big shot in the industry?

The two people are completely unrelated.

Their debut time, career path, and circle of friends have no overlap whatsoever.

If one had to pinpoint even the slightest connection,

She was probably dubbed "Little Liu Yifei" by the media when she debuted.

"Could it be because of my relationship with my senior sister that this celestial being herself found out?"

"Is she here to judge me?"

Gu Qing felt even more confused.

Trending topics are no joke; they either involve spending real money or are major, widely anticipated headlines.

The "collaboration" trending topic that suddenly appeared out of nowhere is clearly the former—and it was paid for by the woman's company.

"Sister Li."

Gu Qing really couldn't understand, "Am I really that charming?"

Hearing this,

On the other end of the phone, Li Li praised him indignantly, "Little Gu, you must not underestimate your market appeal."

The number of actresses in the industry who want to work with you could circle the film studio three times over. You're so beautiful, and you're also known for your "miracle cure" physique; anyone who works with you becomes a star..."

She paused, then her tone shifted to a more professional analysis: "However, the fact that their company is willing to spend money to buy this position certainly doesn't mean they're just trying to promote you."

They must have their own agenda.

Don't worry, according to industry practice, with this level of 'pre-launch', they'll contact us officially soon to discuss the details.

Li Li spoke with certainty.

In the entertainment industry, buying so-called trending topics inevitably requires communication between the two artists' companies.

Just like the common practice of creating hype around scandals.

This level of celebrity collaboration and hype, launched unilaterally without prior notice, is tantamount to declaring war and can easily create enmity.

If any other celebrity dared to do this, Li Li would have already made a phone call and launched a full-scale attack.

But the other party just happens to be 'Liu Tianyi' (a famous Chinese actress) —

These three words themselves represent a terrifying "immunity".

Li Li knew all too well about this person's popularity and public image.

From those born in the 80s and 90s with their youthful memories, to those born in the 2000s who are just getting acquainted with the entertainment industry, and even many male viewers and older generations, the "Fairy Sister" has an absurdly high level of public favorability.

Having made so many films with mediocre reviews or even flopped, any one of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses would probably have been ruthlessly eliminated by the market long ago.

Yet she has consistently maintained her position as a top-tier actress.

A true "blood bank".

There are absolutely no competitors in the same race!
Not to mention,
There are also many male celebrities in the industry who are eager to work with her. During interviews, they often look like they've been hooked and can't stop smiling.

Li Li was also afraid that her little boy wouldn't be able to resist the charm of the fairy sister.

"What do I care about their company's plans?"

Gu Qing's voice interrupted her thoughts, her tone crisp and decisive, showing no trace of the flattery or surprise of being favored by a "celestial being": "Call them and tell them to withdraw!"

"They withdrew?!"

Li Li raised her voice in astonishment, "Xiao Gu, this is an olive branch that Liu Tianxian offered herself! Their buying trending searches could very well be a signal that they intend to collaborate!"

"She's a celestial being, and I'm a sage king, but what's the use?" Gu Qing said irritably, "What kind of drama can I collaborate with her on? She's tough and can withstand a lot of attacks, but how many hits can I take?"

He doesn't have any special feelings for Liu Tianxian.

Gu Qing's childhood was filled with Hunan TV's Golden Eagle Cartoon Channel and children's channels. He started watching the Legend of Sword and Fairy series from the third installment.

He had only seen clips of Liu Yifei's three classic dramas that established her status: "The Story of a Noble Family," "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and "Chinese Paladin 1," and had never watched them in their entirety.

The only one I watched seriously was "Dream of Splendor," a story about a man who "wandered for half his life and returned still a period drama."

Aside from that, his impression of this "celestial beauty" was limited to the labels "good-looking" and "bad movies".

Ten years from now,

Gu Qingzhen couldn't recall any critically acclaimed or commercially successful movies starring this "celestial beauty".

It was a complete flop in terms of both critical reception and box office performance.

"Then...then should I go and sound them out first?"

Seeing Gu Qing's indifferent attitude towards Liu Tianxian, Li Li, being a woman herself, felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

This attitude of being immune to the "fairy sister" aura is probably the most genuine desire of many female artists in the industry.

The call ended.

He composed himself and devoted another half hour to recording until the end credits song was perfectly finished.

I had just left the recording studio and gotten back into my car when...
Li Li called right away, her voice carrying a mixture of relief and complex emotions, as if she had just known.
"Xiao Gu, we've figured it out. The source is Liu Tianxian and Chris Wu's companies, who signed a film contract."

"A movie starring Liu Yifei and Chris Oh?"

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and her expression suddenly became strange.

He seemed to have seen this movie in the Abi parody video section before.

It's that line: "Su Yunjin, how are you going to repay what you owe me?!"

So Young

A heartbreaking coming-of-age film that grossed just over 300 million yuan.

The plot can be roughly summarized as follows: High school students sitting next to each other → The male and female leads don't have a good first impression of each other → Then the male lead takes the initiative to approach the female lead → The female lead gradually develops feelings for the male lead → They can't be together for various reasons → The male lead keeps trying and they finally get together → They eventually separate for various reasons.

Not to mention,
The awful product placements and Kris Wu's exaggerated, over-the-top acting in the show are enough to make anyone cringe.

"Yes, I heard it's a youth film."

Li Li explained with a smile: "But before filming started, Chris Wu revealed that scandal. Naturally, Liu Yifei was extremely unwilling to be paired with him as a couple."

Especially considering her "pure and innocent" image, if her fans knew she was acting out a romantic relationship with...that kind of person, they'd probably protest en masse.

"So, here we have this 'collaboration' trending topic today—it's their company pressuring investors to replace her!"

Li Li excitedly said: "Currently, the only top-tier young actors who can replace Chris Wu in terms of status and type are you and Lu Han."

Lu Han's schedule is conflicting; he has to record Running Man and film the movie version of "The Lost Tomb," and also…

She wasn't optimistic, saying, "Lu Han's temperament and height are not as suitable as yours for playing a couple with Liu Yifei."

Whether it's physical fit, acting reputation, or your unique and widely recognized youthful charm, you are the ideal choice for this youth film.

"The investors, Liu Yifei's team, have specifically requested that you be cast in the role."

Li Li's tone betrayed her excitement.

In her opinion, this was an incredible stroke of luck! Liu Yifei and Gu Qing starring in a youth romance film?

Just thinking about this combination is exhilarating!

It would be an injustice if the box office didn't explode!

No wonder it stayed at the top of the trending searches as soon as it appeared; the fans are probably going to go completely crazy!
