Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 300 Divine Beauty VS Celestial Beauty? (4K)
……

……

After filming Running Man, the hustle and bustle of the farewell banquet subsided.
Gu Qing did not rush to leave Anxi, but instead stayed at the hotel.

Coincidentally,
The organizer of the Bazaar Charity Gala was "Moon Terrace," and he became one of the earliest artists to "prepare" for this grand event.

It has to be said that Su Mang is a master of traffic generation.

The Harper's Bazaar Gala she curated, ostensibly a charity event, was in reality more like a glamorous fashion show and a battleground for celebrities.

Especially at the end of the show, the final group photo of the artists concealed countless intrigues and rivalries.

Being positioned in the center of a group photo with top fashion brands can have a significant impact on one's future status in the fashion industry.

The off-stage discussion revolved around the list of invited celebrities.

This year, Bazaar has come up with a new idea, dividing the team into "Goddess Team" and "God Team," both of which are currently popular online terms.

The list of invited artists is even more interesting.

The leaked lineup of goddesses online has already sparked heated discussions: Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Yang Ying, Yang Mi, Ruby Lin, Teacher Liu Tao...

How to arrange the relationships between these female constellations, which are entangled in some way, whether overt or covert, is itself a major drama.

Meanwhile, the male god team boasts an even more explosive level of popularity: Gu Qing, Lu Han, Chris Wu, and Li Yifeng—the original four top idols have all gathered together!
With the addition of Zhang Yixin, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, and others, it can be described as a star-studded "battle of the gods."

The popularity of this live-streamed extravaganza will undoubtedly be immense a week from now.

……

The hotel suite was softly lit.

"Xiao Gu, a designer from Bazaar has designed a set of clothes with a charity theme and would like to invite you to model for the gala."

Li Li showed the design on the tablet to Gu Qing, but her eyes were hard to take off Gu Qing, who was trying on clothes.

Gu Qingzheng opened her arms, and under the guidance of Guan Qiwen, the makeup artist and assistant carefully put on a loose, elegant, and flowing white gauze robe.

Hearing this,

Gu Qing glanced at the tablet, then looked away: "This aesthetic... is too advanced, I can't appreciate it."

Upon hearing Gu Qing's explicit rejection, Guan Qiwen, who had been keeping a tense and slightly nervous expression, subtly smiled, feeling that he had been taken seriously.

"Uh...it is a bit...special."

Li Li couldn't help but show her disdain as she looked at the design drawings. "Then let's just cancel it. Anyway, Teacher Guan has already made thorough preparations."

These brightly colored outfits, like seaweed, which artist could resist them?
Why are stylists' aesthetic sense getting lower and lower these days?

Li Li thought to herself, "It's really easy to make a living in the fashion industry."

“Mr. Gu, this outfit is in the Wei-Jin style, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the fashion world and the changing trends in public taste.”

Guan Qiwen spoke at the opportune moment, his voice carrying a professional air. "Men's clothing during the Wei and Jin dynasties generally featured loose-fitting robes with belts. The sleeves of the upper garments were wide and could reach the ground, with belts tied at the waist that fluttered in the wind. The emphasis was on flowing simplicity, a combination of elegance and ethereal beauty."

Therefore, I specially used the finest light gauze to make it, with a simple white shirt as the main color, paired with a black lacquered gauze canopy to add a sense of nobility, and a pair of upturned shoes on the feet, perfectly matching the free and unrestrained temperament of the Wei and Jin dynasty scholars.

"Teacher Guan, how should I style the hair bun?"

Sister Xu held up the comb and asked, feeling utterly useless.

“Let it hang loose,” Guan Qiwen said confidently, “and just secure it with a simple jade hairpin.”

The famous scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties valued authenticity above all else. It was common for them to bare their chests and bodies when drunk, and wearing elaborate hairstyles was considered deliberate.

He smiled, with a touch of modernity, "Isn't there a popular saying online these days: 'The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were absurd yet beautiful'? It's very popular among young people."

"Popular with young people?"

Gu Qing straightened his wide cuffs, unconcerned. "That's because the marketing accounts only pick out the 'good' parts and don't tell young people that the underlying tone of that period of history was 'absurd,' and that the decadent lifestyle of the gentry was 'good.'"

His understanding of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in his previous life was not profound, because the textbooks he read in school found this period of history disgusting and chose to gloss over it.

Gu Qing was unaware of the Wei-Jin trend that was sweeping the internet at the time.

And now,
Gu Qing only understood how terrible the dynasty was after he had thoroughly read various historical books and realized that those marketing accounts that followed the trend in his previous life had praised it as a magnificent and prosperous era with free and open people and extraordinary love.

"If they traveled back in time and were tied up like sheep by the Hu people and roasted over a fire, they would know what beauty is."

"Oh no, the shot didn't turn out well."

Guan Qiwen's smile froze, and he was somewhat at a loss. He hadn't expected that his proud attempt to "fit into trending topics" would backfire so badly.

Didn't they say that young people really like it?
"Mr. Gu, I designed a few other sets. Why don't you try another one?"

Guan Qiwen was very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Qing softened his tone: "Teacher Guan, please don't misunderstand. It has nothing to do with clothes. I like traditional clothing. It's just that I don't approve of those marketing accounts that deliberately obscure history."

Restoring our traditional clothing and promoting the beauty of Hanfu and our nation is not a crime; you can design it however you want.

The beauty of Hanfu deserves to be recognized.

He knew that traditional Chinese style would be the mainstream in the future, and the government would vigorously promote it, so this path had to be taken steadily.

Guan Qiwen breathed a sigh of relief, his face regaining its radiance: "Mr. Gu, if you like it, that's fine. I misunderstood."

At this time, during the changing of clothes,

"It's Basha calling."

Li Li received a phone call and went outside to answer it.

About ten minutes later,

When he returned, his expression was somewhat strange.

"Sister Li, what new requests does Bazaar have?"

Gu Qing turned his head and looked at her hesitant expression, a familiar feeling of "something's about to happen again" inexplicably rising in his heart.

The fashion industry and the entertainment industry are really quite different.

In the entertainment industry,
When Gu Qing participates in any event, the organizers would be so grateful if he wasn't late that they would even thank him for being so dedicated, let alone make any demands of him.

In the fashion industry,
As the most important calling card for artists, even the biggest stars have to put on a smile when they come here.

Acting like a diva?
Almost no celebrity who dares to act like a diva in the fashion world ends up with a bad ending.

"It's not that there are any new requirements... but rather,"

Li Li cleared her throat, her expression subtle. "This year, Bazaar, in collaboration with blogs, has launched a new segment called: 'Celebrity Couple Interaction Heartbeat Value' Voting."

Viewers will vote for their favorite on-screen or online couples, and the top-voted couples will have the opportunity to receive an invitation to a special interactive segment at the gala dinner.

"so?"

Gu Qing broke out in a cold sweat whenever he heard the word 'CP'. He had a bad feeling. "You're not going to tell me that I'm on the list again? And not a low one at that?"

"It's more than just not low..."

Li Li chuckled, a hint of helpless schadenfreude in her voice, "Xiao Gu, you've taken the top six spots on the list...."

"what?"

Gu Qing was truly stunned, even stopping the movement of adjusting her cuffs. "The top six? All of them are me?"

He almost laughed in anger, "What am I? A born CP holy body?"

"The one ranked first next to you..."

Seeing that Gu Qing was on the verge of collapse,

Li Li quickly added, "It's not Yang Ying, it's not Yang Ying, Xiao Gu, don't worry."
"The blog has secretly changed the poll; to avoid conflict, they specifically moved your couple to sixth place." "That's good."

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

But Li Li paused, then added, "However, the seventh place is Yang Ying and Huang Jiaozhu."

Gu Qing: "???"

He looked at Li Li expressionlessly, "Are you sure this is called 'avoiding conflict'?"
This is clearly like throwing sparks into a powder keg!

BYD's blog is truly profiting from human suffering!

"There's nothing I can do, Xiao Gu. Too many people want to see some entertainment."

Li Li said with distress: 'Although the two of you talked it out in private...'
But the rival fans who dislike you, and the general public who just want to watch the drama unfold, are all actively voting for both of them, just waiting to see what happens.

Li Li also felt very troubled. "Xiao Gu, you started out with CP (couple pairing) and your influence is deeply rooted."

The CP (couple) fans accumulated in the early stages are incredibly loyal and dedicated; they won't leave even if you try to drive them away.

It wasn't just her who found it tricky and difficult.

In the future, the two teams of "Bo Jun Yi Xiao" fought tooth and nail, tearing each other apart countless times, taking the torment of fans to the extreme.

However, the number of fans who ship the two as a couple has not decreased at all. Even five or six years later, even if they don't appear in the same frame, just being in the same place will definitely make it to the trending topics.

This is also one of the core reasons why the two of them later became top celebrities.

Without this group of loyal fans who ship the couple, they would have faded out of the entertainment industry long ago.

“Xiao Gu, unless there is a way, that is, from now on, we will not appear in the same frame, either she is there but you are not, or you are there but she is not, and let time erase this influence.”

Li Li shook her head, "But I think even if you were willing, she wouldn't. How could she have risen from a small-time model to where she is today?"
"He has no acting talent, and can't make a living in the industry based on his work alone. He's unwilling to sever ties with his most important fan base."

"To dare to cut off one's own arms is to truly sever both of one's own arms!"

"She's barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes, so why should I be afraid?"

"It's not me who's embarrassed. If you're so capable, then hurry up and get it up there."

Gu Qing hoped that Master Huang could lend a hand.

He then asked, "Who are the top five?"

He couldn't quite place it at first.

Li Li suppressed a laugh and counted on her fingers: "Fifth is your 'Word Spirit CP' with Nazha (Legend of Nine Tails Fox); fourth is your 'Pure Spirit CP' with Chen Duling (Left Ear)."

Third, there's your 'anime convention sibling couple' with Liu Shishi..."

"Secondly..."

Li Li kept him in suspense, looking at Gu Qing with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "Little Gu, guess who it is?"

"You still need to guess?"

Gu Qing said naturally, "It must be Li Ying... Wait!"

He suddenly stopped. "Wait, if she's second, then who's first?!"

Gu Qing wouldn't be surprised if Zhao Liying and he both came in first place.

Thanks to the immense popularity of "The Mystic Nine," a drama series comparable to "The Journey of Flower," their public image and popularity are absolutely unmatched.

But suddenly an extra candidate appears.
Gu Qing really couldn't understand it.

Does he know so many female celebrities?

And even if they know each other, why would the audience and passersby be so enthusiastic about voting, and why would they vote so highly?
This makes absolutely no sense!

"Sister Li, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me."

"Well then, I'll tell you, but don't be surprised, Xiao Gu."

Li Li took a deep breath and uttered each word slowly and deliberately: "Liu—Tian—Xian!"

"Who?!"

Gu Qing suddenly turned his head, the movement so large that it startled his assistant who was adjusting the belt around his waist.

"Liu Tianxian? I don't recall ever seeing her or the boss before!"

"They haven't even exchanged a single word! How could they be a couple?"

"Are those people who voted crazy?!"

The others in the room gasped softly, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Have you guys forgotten about that trending topic from before?"

Li Li reminded her, "It's that youth film from last time, the one where their team wanted to contact you to fill in."
Although it didn't work out, it still became a hot topic!

"Sister Li, is it because of this?"

Zhao Ya couldn't help but interject, "Just because of this unfounded rumor of 'recasting,' they can get second place?"

"Just because of that."

Li Li nodded naturally, "You underestimate Liu Tianxian's influence."

"Especially for the current box office of [The Left Ear], although the daily increase is only 10 to 20 million, it is difficult to break through 1 billion, but it is expected to reach 900 million in box office revenue."

It has already broken the record for the highest-grossing youth film in Chinese film history. And this is a campus film! Do you know how much money it made?

"It completely ignited a craze for youth films!"

"Especially now, many people online are complaining that the plot of 'The Left Ear' is bad, and that the young actress named Chen Duling's acting is too wooden and stiff, and her looks don't match the character."

If Liu Yifei and Xiao Gu were cast as the male and female leads, this film's box office would definitely easily surpass one billion!

Li Li pulled out a video: "And recently, a video blogger edited Liu Yifei's scenes from 'Love Announcement' into her scenes with Xiao Gu in 'The Left Ear'."
The video views exploded!

She turned her phone screen towards Zhao Ya, "One is a 'goddess of beauty,' the other is a 'celestial being.' Would you like to see them appear together or film a movie?"

Zhao Ya glanced at her boss's profile, then her gaze involuntarily drifted to Liu Yifei's classic scenes on the screen.
then……

She nodded honestly: "...I want to see."

"It's over now!"

Li Li put her phone away. "Even you, one of your own, want to see it, let alone those eagerly waiting casual fans and Liu Yifei's die-hard fans!"
How many movies has she starred in over the years? Fans constantly criticize the scripts, the male leads, and the production quality… but now…
Xiao Gu, this "box office miracle," has become their fans' only lifeline!
Can't the fans just scramble to vote for her and put her next to Xiao Gu? Are they expecting you to "bless" their idol?

"I can't heal."

Gu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.
Given the quality of those youth film scripts, if he were to go and film them, he'd probably be called "box office poison" by Liu Yifei's fans afterwards.

"So, Liying is still in first place?"

“Yes, it’s Liying.” Li Li nodded. “However… the votes between them are extremely close, only a few hundred thousand votes apart.”

"..."

Gu Qing was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly took out her phone, quickly typed a message, and sent it.

The content consists of only a few simple words.

"Sister Zhao, you need to perk up!"
