Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 268 Extreme Challenge (Third Update)
……

……

"You're asking me to go?"

Gu Qing twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she maintained her composure and simply said, "Tell them they're not available."

"Uh... okay, there really isn't much availability."

Li Li paused for a moment, then thought carefully, "Then there's the promotion of 'The Mystic Nine,' 'The Left Ear,' 'Detective Chinatown'..."

I'm so busy with work, I don't have time to film.

Halfway through the count, Li Li suddenly realized—her artist was making excuses far too readily?

This is a fairy-like beauty!

But after thinking about it again, I think it makes sense.

The entertainment industry today is no longer the seniority-based world it once was.

In her early years, the "Fairy Sister" collaborated with superstars like Chen Long and international star Li Nianjie, and a few years ago with top middle-aged actors and directors, but all her films flopped at the box office.

Gu Qing, Chris Wu, and Lu Han, three top idols, each starred in a movie that grossed more at the box office than their star-studded cast.

The era of the entertainment industry has completely changed.

Invariably, popular actors will appear in every film directed by a top director.

Even the most aloof and superior "gods" have to lower themselves to ride the coattails of young, top-tier celebrities.

Moreover, from a commercial perspective, female viewers are far more willing to spend money on male stars than male viewers are willing to spend money on female stars—top male stars are simply more valuable than top female stars!

"You even called out my baby's name?"

Li Li suddenly straightened her back, all her previous fear of the "celestial halo" vanished, and when she dialed the phone, her voice even carried a hint of firmness: "I'm busy!"

Liu Tianxian's team doesn't want to know how they will react, nor do they need to know.

In the entertainment industry, only those who can make money are the real bosses!
……

Two days later, on the eve of the promotional event for "The Mystic Nine".

It is worth mentioning that,
The location where this drama is broadcast is no longer Huangguo Guard, which Gu Qing is familiar with.

Instead, Dongfang TV spent a large sum of money, outbidding Huangguo TV, to buy the independent broadcasting rights for this drama.

In recent years,
Dongfang TV has big ambitions.

From its exclusive location as the venue for the Shanghai International Film Festival to its high-quality New Year's Eve gala, which is funded by substantial investments each year, everything is geared towards today's young people.

Especially after the Running Man show became a huge hit,

With a keen business sense, Dongfang TV immediately copied and produced its own male-centric variety show, "Go Fighting!"
It also focuses on outdoor reality shows.

The traffic driver is 'Little Sheep', a former teammate who was recently criticized by Chris Wu as a scheming bitch.

The other five members are: Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Huang Xiaochu, Wang Xun, and Xiaozhu.

The first season of "Go Fighting!" aired in 15 and encountered some controversy when it first aired.

Running Man fans have publicly mocked him quite a bit.

Although the first season of "Go Fighting!" had low ratings, it received excellent reviews and had a very high level of audience engagement.

Now, in its second season, viewership has begun to climb steadily.

Especially with the neighboring Running Man suffering a major blow, Gu Qing's departure and Lu Han's joining the show resulting in mediocre program quality.

This has led many viewers of the Running Man show to become regular viewers of Go Fighting!

After achieving success in two areas, Dongfang TV naturally had to start with film and television.

Gu Qing's new drama is their clarion call to counterattack.

Backed by the city of Shanghai, their main selling point is that they're 'not short of money'!
Even though Gu Qing had just finished filming "The Imperial Doctress," Dongfang TV was already planning to hold talks with her.

Quality is not something you need to care about at all.

Top-tier celebrities guarantee high viewership!
Gu Qing's biggest competitive advantage over Wu Lu is his ability to direct television dramas!

Compared to using movies to gain recognition,
The path to success lies in television dramas and web series!
This is a fact that has already been proven in the future of the Chinese entertainment industry!
……

"咚咚-"

When there was a gentle knock on the door, Gu Qing was practicing her gaze in front of the mirror.

Hearing the noise, he paused, walked to the door and was about to turn the handle when he stopped alertly: "Who is it?"

"it's me--"

A rough female voice, deliberately lowered, came from outside the door.

“Liying…”

Gu Qing chuckled, but before she could even utter the word "sister," a fragrant breeze stopped her from speaking.

With a "click," the door slammed shut.

Two young people in their twenties, like dry tinder and raging fire, immediately started burning.

Sister Zhao: Twenty-eight is still twenty!

She can't lose!

After one hour--

"Stop, stop, stop, I give up."

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Little Zhao, her face flushed, nestled in Gu Qing's arms and suddenly bit his collarbone, grinding her teeth. "Little brother, you've really made something of yourself! I heard even Liu Yifei is vying to act in a movie with you?"

"Stop joking, we have a press conference later." "I've never even met her, what does she see in me?"

Gu Qing pushed her head away and tapped it again.

"Of course she's after your body!"

Sister Zhao rushed over again, hugged Gu Qing, and affectionately kissed his cheek. Her eyes were filled with sadness and grievance as she said, "Liu Tianxian is so beautiful. If you really saw her, you might immediately fall for someone else."

Every female artist who has acted in Liu Yifei's three dramas must have felt inferior and desperate.

This woman is truly unparalleled in her time.

"I'm afraid we won't see each other for a while. I've asked the company to cancel our movie project."

Gu Qing said casually.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a weight on his body.

"real?!"

Zhao Liying suddenly sat up, her eyes shining brightly, and the corners of her mouth uncontrollably turned up.

But then,

She seemed to realize she was overreacting and quickly pursed her lips, but couldn't suppress the joy in her eyes and brows.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't push it for you, I just think that script is really bad."

Gu Qing shook her head left and right, dodging the attack, "Don't kiss me randomly, what if there are any marks and they notice?"

"Yes, yes, it wasn't pushed for me. At worst, if people find out, we'll just get married publicly!"

Sister Zhao is obsessed.

"I'm afraid that won't work," Gu Qing finally said softly.

Zhao Liying looked up abruptly, her breath caught in her throat, shocked and conflicted, yet also mentally prepared.

In the entertainment industry... is there any such thing as pure love?
Who can accept their loved one filming a kissing scene?

As long as we uphold the bottom line, there is no problem.

"Little brother, have you fallen for someone else?"

Zhao Liying's face drained of color. She tried to remain calm and part ways amicably, but she could still hear her voice trembling slightly.

She's a little...unable to accept it.

But Zhao Liying had no choice but to accept reality.

Her appearance,

Among the many glamorous female stars in the entertainment industry, she is neither outstanding nor sophisticated.

Otherwise, the brand wouldn't have canceled her endorsement because they thought it was tacky.

The gap between her and Gu Qing is really too big.

In terms of status,

She's a top-tier actress, while the other is a top star; their earning power is worlds apart.

As for appearance

Zhao Liying looked at Gu Qing's face, which she found so captivating.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that if Gu Qing had long hair, she could probably beat her up.

It seems to reflect Liu Yifei's peak status in the hearts of her male fans.

Zhao Liying felt that Gu Qing was just a carbon copy of the character for girls.

and,

Gu Qing's earliest breakthrough in the Chinese entertainment industry was a marketing campaign about 'SM's escaped goddess'!
Many fans and passersby, upon first seeing him, did not scoff or despise him, but instead argued that 'Kris Oh and Lu Han' were the true faces of SM Entertainment.

At first glance, I subconsciously placed him on the same level as Wu Lu.

Subsequently,

She joined Running Man thanks to her huge popularity, and after the first episode aired, she went from an ordinary person to a top celebrity!

Sister Zhao was experiencing a huge psychological letdown.

Gu Qingjing looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed: "Do you know that I'm still two years away from the legal marriage age?"

"Your suggestion is illegal..."

"I--"

Sister Zhao was stunned for a moment, her face turning from white to red. She was both annoyed and amused, and bit Gu Qing's shoulder hard. "Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"Also, when I said I was getting married, I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously."

After venting her frustrations, Zhao Liying recovered and pretended not to care, saying, "I'll say it again: I'll marry you the day I become a top female celebrity."

"Then you'll have to put in some effort."

Gu Qing sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until you..."

We have to hold on!

Sister Zhao sat down hard and said fiercely.

"..."
