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

What do you mean he's afraid and doesn't dare to venture into the film industry?

Since they insist on provoking us like this, then Lü Ming will just do as they please.

To say that Lü Ming was completely unprepared and rashly decided to make a movie and enter the big screen without any preparation would certainly not be the case.

Lu Ming's original plan was to wait until the release of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" and solidify his position in the television drama industry before considering making a movie.

Lü Ming has no worries about the success of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

It's worth noting that the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is nearing its end. Lü Ming has also seen the early filming results, and with the support of Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen's acting skills, the quality is much higher than in the previous life.

In Lü Ming's mind, this "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" far surpasses his previous work "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" in terms of both storytelling and plot appeal.

Given the success of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" and the current popularity of Lü Ming, "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is expected to perform even better.

Since there wasn't much pressure, Lü Ming could confidently move forward his film career, which he had originally planned for the future.

"Uh-huh!"

After hearing Lü Ming's words, Dilraba didn't ask any more questions, but instead nestled comfortably in Lü Ming's arms.

Others may still have some doubts about Lü Ming, but Dilraba only has faith in him. No matter what decisions Lü Ming makes, Dilraba will only firmly support him.

What happened to Stephen Chow?
In Dilraba's heart, Lü Ming is a genius, and nothing can stump him.

"It's still early, let's keep trying!"

Feeling the delicate skin pressed against his chest, Lü Ming felt the flame in his heart, which had been somewhat dimmed, reignite, and then he pressed down on her.

The next morning, after sending Reba to the airport, Lü Ming went to the private restaurant he had arranged to meet with Li Yan.

After signing my name for the waiter who led me at the door, I was then led by this excited waiter to a private room at the back.

Lu Ming pushed open the door to the private room and immediately saw Li Yan and Teacher He sitting inside.

"Our newly crowned Golden Eagle Award winner for Best Supporting Actor has finally arrived!"

"This private restaurant serves very authentic Hunan cuisine. It's usually not easy to book a private room, and we only managed to do so by using your name!"

After seeing Lü Ming enter the private dining room, Li Yan smiled and politely invited Lü Ming to sit down next to him.

"Brother Li, you're too kind!"

Lu Ming sat down with a smile, and greeted Teacher He next to him, "Teacher He, it's been a long time!"

"What do you mean 'long time'? We just met last night!"

Teacher He knew Lü Ming's temperament, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Lü Ming and just joked with him.

"Brother Li, just tell me, what do you want from me?"

After eating a simple meal and exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lü Ming looked at Li Yan, who seemed hesitant to speak, and smiled as he put down his chopsticks and said to him.

To be honest, although Lü Ming didn't have many collaborations with Hunan TV, his collaborations with Li Yan and He Jiong were quite good, and their relationship was also quite good; they could be considered friends.

"Since you've put it that way, then I won't beat around the bush anymore!"

Hearing Lü Ming's words, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Teacher He beside him and said to Lü Ming, "Our Hunan TV would like to invite you to participate in one of our variety shows!"

"You're inviting me to participate in a variety show?"

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, Lü Ming was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said as if he had remembered something, "Brother Li, isn't Hunan TV afraid?"

It's worth noting that the first variety show Lu Ming participated in after his transmigration was Hunan TV's "Back to Field," and the original-flavored braised pork intestines dish is still a memorable moment for him on variety shows.

However, after Lü Ming's machinations, he directly caused Hunan TV's well-known variety show "Back to Field" to be shut down, and it has not been restarted yet.

Many people blame Lü Ming for the show's closure, and even many within Hunan TV think so.

Therefore, after the show "Back to Field" was shut down, Lü Ming went on to participate in Zhejiang TV's "Running Man!", Shanghai TV's "Go Fighting!", and even online music talent shows, but he never collaborated with Hunan TV again.

Although Lü Ming was able to participate in Hunan TV's variety show "Asian King" again after Gangzi intervened, he has not had any other variety show collaborations with Hunan TV.

As a leading local television station in China, Hunan TV is famous for its variety shows. Whether it's "Happy Camp" or other variety shows like "Day Day Up," they are all top-tier variety shows in China.

Originally, a top-tier artist like Lü Ming would definitely be the artist that Hunan TV most wanted to collaborate with. However, because of the show "Back to Field", Hunan TV has always been hesitant.

As a result, Hunan TV didn't benefit much from Lü Ming's rise to the top of the Chinese entertainment industry; only the variety show "Asian King" could be considered to have gained a little bit of support.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Li Yan naturally understood what Lü Ming meant and said it nonchalantly, as if he didn't care at all that "Back to Field" was temporarily suspended because of Lü Ming.

This wasn't just polite talk; it was Li Yan's honest opinion.

Although Hunan TV is where Lü Ming rose to fame, thanks to his performance on "Back to Field," Hunan TV didn't enjoy much of the benefits he brought. Instead, Zhejiang TV and Shanghai TV all benefited from it.

With the addition of Lü Ming, the variety shows "Running Man" on Zhejiang TV and "Go Fighting!" on Shanghai TV have posed a significant challenge to Hunan TV's leading position among local TV stations. In particular, the episode of "Running Man" in which Lü Ming participated recently even surpassed the ratings of Hunan TV's flagship variety show.

This inevitably made Hunan TV's internal staff wary.

They found that the challenges they faced were mainly due to two reasons. First, Hunan TV had fallen behind its audience in recent years, and its variety shows were still stuck in the old mindset, which was becoming less and less attractive to young viewers. The other reason was Lü Ming.

After some internal discussions, Hunan TV decided to prepare a new variety show that would appeal to young people. The station invested no less resources in this show than it had for the previous show, "Asian King," and even brought in Li Yan, the head of Hunan TV's variety shows, to be in charge of the new show.

Li Yan's first requirement as the person in charge of this new variety show was that Lü Ming must be invited to participate in their Hunan TV's new variety show; otherwise, even he couldn't guarantee success.

With this year's experience, Lü Ming has become a guarantee of success for any television program.

It's become almost a law: if you can get Lü Ming on the show, it's guaranteed to be a success. "Mango TV takes this variety show very seriously. Whatever your conditions, just let us know, and we'll meet them!"

After giving a brief explanation, Li Yan patted his chest and assured Lü Ming.

In order to invite Lü Ming, Li Yan even planned to offer Lü Ming a one-day appearance fee, which would definitely shock the entire entertainment industry if word got out.

This price has definitely broken the record for appearance fees for mainland Chinese artists on variety shows. Even some top international artists may not be able to get such an appearance fee.

Li Yan didn't care at all about the exorbitant appearance fee he had asked for.

Putting aside the fact that Hunan TV is rich and powerful and has invested a lot of resources in this new variety show, even the appearance fee, which is considered exorbitant, is just a small amount of money for Hunan TV, which they can easily afford.

Besides, in Li Yan's view...

As long as Lü Ming accepts Hunan TV's invitation, the initial recruitment of endorsements and sponsorships alone will be enough to recoup Lü Ming's appearance fee, and he might even make a huge profit.

This isn't just Li Yan making things up.

Li Yan didn't need to say much about Lü Ming's popularity; any variety show Lü Ming participated in would see his endorsement and sponsorship fees skyrocket.

Even before Li Yan and his team had this idea, Mango TV's long-time main sponsor immediately called, offering to pay Mango TV's exorbitant appearance fee on the condition that Mango TV give them the title sponsorship for the new program.

In addition, they also paid Hunan TV the full sponsorship fee that was originally due.

It's safe to say that if Hunan TV can invite Lü Ming to join their new variety show, they can recoup their initial costs just from various sponsorships and title sponsorships.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Brother Li, but I..."

After hearing Li Yan's offer, Lü Ming was tempted, but considering his plans for next year, he decided to decline Li Yan's invitation.

Lu Ming's work schedule for next year was already fully booked, and with his sudden decision yesterday to make a movie, time has become even more scarce.

This morning, Lü Ming's assistant called to complain, saying that he didn't know where he would find time for Lü Ming to film a movie next year.

Time is already so tight, there's really no time to film this new variety show for Hunan TV.

"Don't rush, let us explain first!"

Seeing Lü Ming's expression, Li Yan seemed to have already guessed the situation. He pointed to Teacher He next to him and said, "Tell Lü Ming about this new variety show!"

"The name of this new variety show is 'Who's the Murderer'. We plan to invite several regular guests, and the show will focus on celebrities solving cases!"

"These are some basic program plans."

"Currently, the guests we've confirmed are myself, you, and Xiaosa. As for the others, they haven't been decided yet."

"As for the time issue you're concerned about, that's even easier to solve. Our new variety show is an indoor show, so it doesn't require much time at all. We can arrange it entirely according to your available time!"

"As for the program's arrangements, we plan to collaborate with iQiyi and Tencent Video, with all three video platforms broadcasting it simultaneously!"

After hearing Li Yan's words, Teacher He nodded and then explained in detail to Lü Ming the variety show they were preparing called "Who's the Murderer".

Especially according to He Jiong and the others, this variety show was filmed almost entirely indoors, so there was no need for Lü Ming to travel back and forth.

Furthermore, considering Lü Ming's involvement, this "Who's the Murderer" program, apart from a main storyline, has no other script. It is entirely up to Lü Ming and the other celebrity guests to improvise. All of this can be written into the contract.

"That's quite interesting!"

After hearing Teacher He's introduction, Lü Ming couldn't help but say, "Isn't this just like a murder mystery game, only it might look a bit more formal?"

As a loyal fan of murder mystery games, Lü Ming played them frequently before his time travel, so he was quite familiar with the show.

Even though this variety show was only broadcast on Hunan TV's own online video platform in the previous life, it still had a considerable influence.

It's unclear what Hunan TV is thinking, but they're planning to abandon their exclusive broadcasting rights and instead partner with iQiyi and Tencent Video for the show. That would undoubtedly boost the show's influence even further.

I need to think about it!

Thinking of this, Lü Ming nodded and said to Li Yan beside him.

Although Lü Ming was somewhat interested in the program, he also knew that it wasn't something he could just agree to casually; doing so would be completely disrespectful to his assistant's job.

He still needs to talk to his assistant to see if he has time next year.

If he could find the time, Lü Ming would like to participate.

"no problem!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, a hint of excitement flashed across Li Yan's face.

This matter is pretty much settled!
Based on Li Yan's understanding of Lü Ming, if Lü Ming had no interest, he would have refused their invitation without hesitation.

Now that Lü Ming says he needs to think about it, it's clear that he's interested in their new variety show. He'll probably go back and talk to his assistant and others to see if he has any free time.

Li Yan could understand this. After all, as a top star in the entertainment industry, Lü Ming already had a lot of work, and with this sudden addition of a movie project, it wouldn't be easy for him to squeeze out any time.

However, since Lü Ming is interested, then this matter is unlikely to have many problems.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It's worth noting that Hunan TV is under considerable pressure due to the challenges posed by Zhejiang TV's "Running Man!" and Shanghai TV's "Go Fighting!". Therefore, Hunan TV sees this new variety show as their most powerful counterattack against the challenges from Zhejiang TV and Shanghai TV.

As the key figure in this new variety show, Lü Ming is the most important one.

It's important to know that not only netizens online call Lü Ming the "Saint of Variety Shows," but even high-ranking officials at local TV stations like Hunan TV consider him key to the success of their variety shows. (End of Chapter)
