This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

You shouldn't have said that!

Wu Qian's agent looked at Wu Qian, who was comfortably sprawled on the sofa scrolling through news on his phone, and said to him with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Wu Qian's remarks at that press conference were not discussed with his company or even with his agent. After receiving assurances from Huayue, he spoke without thinking.

This situation caught Wu Qian's entertainment company completely off guard, and they only learned about it after receiving numerous calls from partners.

Upon learning of this situation, Wu Qian's entertainment company was completely dumbfounded, never expecting that Wu Qian would have such audacity.

They had no intention of offending Lü Ming!

They are different from Hua Yue, and they don't have much of a grudge against Lü Ming; they rarely even cross paths.

Although their relationship with Lü Ming wasn't very good because of Wu Qian, it didn't mean they considered Wu Qian their enemy.

On the contrary, in their view, the 'love and hate' between Lü Ming and Wu Qian was nothing, just some common conflicts in the entertainment industry, and it was nothing compared to other relationships that were like fighting to the death.

In their minds, this was a good thing for Wu Qian.

If it weren't for the 'love-hate relationship' between Wu Qian and Lü Ming, "Running Man" wouldn't have invited Wu Qian to participate in the first place.

It's important to understand that "Running Man" is not in the same dire situation it was in the first season, where they couldn't even invite a decent celebrity.

With the explosive popularity of the previous season of "Running Man," the hosts and guests of the show gained immense fame through the show. As a result, countless people wanted to participate in the show, and even some top-tier celebrities in the industry have subtly expressed their desire for an opportunity.

When they learned that "Running Man" was preparing for a second season, Wu Qian's company contacted people hoping to get him involved, but the "Running Man" production team rejected him without hesitation.

what?
Is he just a popular young actor in the entertainment industry trying to squeeze in?
Do you think you're Lü Ming?

Originally, Wu Qian's company was planning to give up, but then suddenly received an invitation from the "Running Man" program team to be a guest in the first episode of the second season of "Running Man".

Wu Qian's company isn't stupid; they naturally understand why the "Running Man" production team changed their attitude.

It was because Lü Ming agreed to participate in the first episode of "Running Man" that the "Running Man" production team saw the 'bond' between Wu Qian and Lü Ming, which is why they invited Wu Qian to participate.

Although the reason may seem a bit unpleasant, the result was good.

The company behind Wu Qian clearly understands what is most important for a popular celebrity like Wu Qian: exposure is the most crucial factor for him.

Only continuous exposure can maintain Wu Qian's popularity!
If Wu Qian is considered a talented performer, his company might hesitate to extend such an invitation, as a poor performance on the show could negatively impact his image.

But Wu Qian lacked the ability!

He sings okay, but he's definitely not top-notch; he's just good enough to fool his fans.

In the eyes of professionals, and even in the ears of ordinary music lovers, Wu Qian's songs are not considered very good. Apart from Wu Qian's fans, no one else appreciates them.

Needless to say, his acting skills are terrible. He wouldn't even pass muster for a music video, let alone a movie or TV series.

Perhaps Wu Qian's fans still have some expectations for him, hoping that he can show outstanding acting skills like Lü Ming, or even just one-third or one-tenth of Lü Ming's acting skills, which would be enough for them to brag about.

However, the company behind Wu Qian is well aware of his abilities. If Wu Qian had any acting skills, they would have taken action long ago, instead of waiting for other popular celebrities to have already succeeded in this field before helping Wu Qian find some good film and television resources.

Their original plan was to arrange for Wu Qian to hone his skills in some ordinary small productions first. If he showed some potential, they would then continue to arrange for him to work in these productions and see if he could establish himself in the film industry.

If that doesn't work, then he'll find an opportunity to make a big profit. As long as Wu Qian's base remains intact, even if he can't make it in the film industry, he won't starve.

However, they did not expect that Wu Qian would be chosen as the male lead in Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West. This is a top-tier production and is definitely the most anticipated film in the film industry this year and even in recent years.

Wu Qian's company was naturally very pleased with this situation.

After all, Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West already has a very successful predecessor. As long as Wu Qian doesn't perform terribly, the results will naturally not be too bad. In fact, Wu Qian might actually make a name for himself in the film industry, which would definitely be good news for their company.

They had originally planned to hire an acting coach for Wu Qian after the press conference for Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, and also to celebrate for him. However, before they could even begin, Wu Qian directly mocked Lü Ming at the press conference.

"What are you afraid of?"

"He's just someone who works in television, while I'm going to be rooted in the film industry. What am I afraid of?"

Upon hearing from his agent, Wu Qian put down his phone and said nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal.

In Wu Qian's mind, he was going to establish himself in the film industry and become a top-tier film actor, so why should he be afraid of Lü Ming?
Previously, because Wu Qian mainly worked in variety shows, although he deeply resented Lü Ming, he couldn't do anything too outrageous, given Lü Ming's immense influence in the variety show and drama circles.

If Lü Ming were to publicly announce that almost no variety show in China would invite Wu Qian, this would naturally be unacceptable to Wu Qian at the time.

If Wu Qian cannot continue to appear on various variety shows and programs, his popularity will definitely plummet. After all, the entertainment industry lacks everything except handsome, popular celebrities like him.

But things are different now. He's a movie actor now, and the male lead in Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West. He's bound to become a top-tier artist in the film industry in the future, so why should he be afraid of Lü Ming?
If Lü Ming can influence Wu Qian in the television and variety show industry, can Lü Ming also influence him in the film industry?
it's out of the question!

Despite his success in television and variety shows, Lü Ming has no foundation in the film industry and has never acted in a single movie.

Furthermore, given the difficulties faced by television actors and artists transitioning to the film industry in recent years, people are worried about whether Lü Ming can adapt. After all, many television personalities who enter the film industry have struggled to adapt. To put it simply, take Hu Ge, the top star of Sugar Man, for example. He was once incredibly popular, especially during the airing of the hit drama "Chinese Paladin," when almost everyone knew him.

Even so, the path of that sugar figurine king into the film industry was not smooth at all. He made no name for himself in several films in a row. Although he was very unwilling, he has now returned to his loyal television industry in a 'shameful' manner. It is said that he is preparing to film a TV series recently.

Since the top sugar figurine maker failed, Lü Ming might also fail.

Besides, unlike in the television and variety show industries where he has the support of Tencent Video, iQiyi, and major TV stations, Lü Ming in the film industry actually has quite a few enemies.

Not to mention the famous director Lu Chuan, who had previously blacklisted Lü Ming in the film industry, and for a long time Lü Ming couldn't get a single film offer, all because of Lu Chuan's 'efforts'.

If it weren't for Lü Ming's participation in Hunan TV's variety show "Asian King," which prompted official support for him, he probably wouldn't be receiving any offers from film crews now.

Besides Lu Chuan, Lü Ming's biggest enemy in the film industry is Hua Yue.

While Huayue's influence in the television and variety show industries may not seem particularly exaggerated, its influence in the film industry is quite significant.

As a leading company in the domestic entertainment industry, Huayue has not only invested in and produced a large number of films, but also has a large number of top film actors under its wing. It can be said that one company supports half of the actors in the mainland film industry.

Although Hua Yue didn't say it directly, she subtly indicated to many production teams that had previously tried to invite Lü Ming that if they invited Lü Ming and his studio's artists, Hua Yue would sever ties with them.

Even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha!
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!

As long as Lü Ming hasn't made a name for himself in the film industry, no one in the industry would risk offending Hua Yue, a giant in the film industry, for the sake of someone who might become famous.

"What an idiot!"

"If he had accepted Hua Yue's submission back then, I'd probably be the one suffering now!"

Thinking of this, Wu Qian said with a disdainful smile.

During this time, Wu Qian also learned about some of the conflicts and inside stories between Lü Ming and Hua Yue.

If Hua Yue had accepted Lü Ming's offer when he wanted to get involved in Lü Ming's "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," then Hua Yue wouldn't be targeting Lü Ming in the film industry now, and he wouldn't have given up the opportunity to star in Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West.

In Wu Qian's mind, he didn't think that Lü Ming had given up such an opportunity on his own initiative. Instead, he felt that Lü Ming had offended Hua Yue, which was why he was abandoned.

How could anyone refuse such a golden opportunity?
This is a Stephen Chow movie!

It's no exaggeration to say that there were countless people in the entertainment industry who wanted this role, and Wu Qian simply couldn't believe that Lü Ming could refuse such a great opportunity.

It's safe to say that if Lü Ming accepts this film, he can easily establish himself in the film industry and even become one of the most watched actors in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Those were just things Lü Ming said to save face, merely an excuse for his elimination.

Now, this opportunity has been given to Wu Qian. He will seize Lü Ming's luck in the film industry and become a top film actor that Lü Ming envies. He may even have a chance to touch the Best Actor position in the future.

Wu Qian had no doubt about this at all; it was just acting!

That's not a simple matter. If Lu Ming can do it, then I certainly can too.

Besides, Wu Qian is very confident in his acting skills. His fans and "girlfriends" were all fooled by his superb acting skills.

"Then you shouldn't have said those things at the press conference. Doesn't that leave absolutely no room for reconciliation?"

Upon hearing Wu Qian's words, a hint of emotion flashed across Wu Qian's agent's face, and he couldn't help but speak up.

While Wu Qian's words have some merit, there was no need to offend Lü Ming so severely that there was virtually no room for reconciliation.

In today's mainland Chinese entertainment industry, film actors hold a very high status.

Perhaps it shouldn't be said that film actors hold a very high status in the mainland entertainment industry, but rather in the entire global entertainment industry.

Especially those movie stars and top actors with influence, whose status is second only to top directors, and who can even sit down and negotiate with capital, are simply incomparable to ordinary TV drama actors and variety show performers.

This is why so many actors are desperate to break into the film industry.

Take Wu Qian for example. If he can make a name for himself in the film industry, it will definitely be a leap forward in his career. He will have more confidence when facing Lü Ming, and even if he offends Lü Ming, it won't have much of an impact.

But confidence is just that!
At least for now, Wu Qian hasn't made a name for himself in the film industry; he's just been chosen as the male lead in Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West.

If the final results are good, then everything will be fine.

However, if the final results are not ideal, Wu Qian, who stepped forward at this point, will inevitably suffer a backlash, and everyone will blame him for the failure.

By then, Wu Qian will not only have no foothold in the film industry, but he may not even be able to maintain his original base.

By then, retiring from the entertainment industry might be a pipe dream for Wu Qian. (End of Chapter)
