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

Although the upcoming "Who's the Murderer" program that Hunan TV is preparing will not determine the fate of Hunan TV's variety shows, if Zhejiang TV and Shanghai TV are allowed to gradually erode Hunan TV's dominant position in the variety show field, it will inevitably affect Hunan TV in the future.

In fact, Hunan TV can already feel the threat from Zhejiang TV and Shanghai TV. Since Zhejiang TV and Shanghai TV's two programs, "Running Man" and "Go Fighting!", have become hugely successful, they have attracted many powerful brand sponsors in the industry. Even the brand partners that have been cooperating with Hunan TV are starting to get restless.

It's important to understand that businessmen are profit-driven. When people sponsor and advertise on Hunan TV, it's not out of kindness. These brand sponsors hope to see sufficient returns, increased sales, and enhanced brand value.

Previously, people invested in and sponsored Hunan TV because it was the leading local TV station, especially its variety shows, which dominated the domestic entertainment industry and had an influence that covered the whole country. Other TV stations could not have any impact on Hunan TV at all, so people naturally chose Hunan TV to sponsor and advertise.

But things are different now. Although Hunan TV still holds a significant leading position among local TV stations, it doesn't mean there are no threats.

With the benefits of local economic development, Shanghai TV and Zhejiang TV, now flush with cash, began to aggressively challenge Hunan TV, especially in Hunan TV's flagship variety shows, where they managed to carve out a significant portion of the market share with Hunan TV through programs like "Running Man" and "Go Fighting!".

This was naturally unacceptable to Hunan TV, so on Li Yan's advice, Hunan TV invested a lot of resources to prepare a new variety show that suited the tastes of contemporary young people.

This upcoming show, "Who's the Murderer," is very important to Hunan TV, and equally important to Li Yan, who has just become the head of Hunan TV's variety show program.

Since the last show, "Asian King," Li Yan, who successfully salvaged Hunan TV's reputation by inviting Lü Ming, directly took over as the head of Hunan TV's variety show program. The upcoming "Who's the Murderer" is Li Yan's 'opening success' in leading Hunan TV's variety show program.

If successful, everything will be fine, and Li Yan's power and influence within Hunan TV will be further enhanced.

However, if it fails, Li Yan's prestige will be significantly affected, and it may be difficult for him to carry out his work so easily in the future.

Therefore, in order to ensure success, Li Yan specially invited Lü Ming, who was attending the Hunan TV Golden Eagle Awards, to have a discussion, hoping to invite Lü Ming to participate.

Given Lü Ming's current popularity, if he agrees to join, then their newly prepared "Who's the Murderer" program can be said to be halfway to success.

After all, Lü Ming is a variety show icon!
"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday!"

"We've already dealt with Feng Teng; he will never appear on our Hunan TV programs again!"

As if remembering something, Li Yan spoke to Lü Ming in front of him.

Feng Teng's 'question' last night caused quite a stir, but it quickly subsided after Lü Ming mentioned in an interview after the Hunan TV Golden Eagle Awards that he was 'about to make a movie,' which relieved Li Yan and his team.

You have to understand that Lü Ming was able to attend their Hunan TV Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony entirely because of Hunan TV, allowing them to get a huge boost in viewership. The overall ratings were the highest among the Golden Eagle Awards live broadcasts in recent years. If Lü Ming were to suffer any negative public opinion due to their mistakes, they would definitely feel bad about it.

Sure enough, after the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony ended last night, Li Yan had a discussion with the senior management of Hunan TV and sent a notice to Feng Teng and Feng Teng's agency this morning.

That means that from today onwards, the cooperation between Hunan TV and Feng Teng and his management company will come to an end. From now on, Feng Teng and the artists under his management company will not be allowed to appear on any Hunan TV programs. Hunan TV will even pursue their responsibilities based on the subsequent situation.

In short, this is Hunan TV's direct ban on Feng Teng and his management company.

If it weren't for the fear that this matter might cause further trouble and affect Lü Ming, Hunan TV would definitely not have let them off so easily and would have pursued the matter to the end.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Li!"

Lu Ming naturally understood the good intentions behind Li Yan's words, and smiled as he said, "Our studio should also send him a lawyer's letter in the next couple of days!"

What Lü Ming said to Feng Teng during the live broadcast of the Hunan TV Golden Eagle Awards yesterday was not just polite talk or a way to scare him; it was a genuine decision to do so.

After the party ended last night, Lü Ming contacted his assistant and asked her to prepare an invitation to Feng Teng.

Even if we don't send Feng Teng to jail, we won't let him get away with it.

It's worth noting that Feng Teng's behavior yesterday seemed unremarkable, merely expressing some complaints about not winning an award and making some simple 'guesses' about Lü Ming.

However, in reality, Feng Teng's actions had an extremely serious impact, no less serious than the short essay Hong Lei and others wrote online back then, and perhaps even more serious.

Back when Hong Lei wrote a long essay for Lü Ming online, Lü Ming could only be said to have made a name for himself in the Chinese entertainment industry, with decent traffic and popularity, but he was definitely not a top star.

Aside from some of Lü Ming's fans and haters, and some viewers who enjoy variety shows, the vast majority of netizens actually don't know Lü Ming. Many people's first reaction upon seeing Hong Lei's short essay was...

Who is Lü Ming?

But now it's completely different. Now Lü Ming is a top-tier artist in the Chinese entertainment industry, with a significant lead.

Especially after Hunan TV's "Asian King" program, where the official media directly endorsed Lü Ming, almost everyone in China who follows the entertainment industry knows Lü Ming.

With Lü Ming's current popularity and buzz, even the smallest thing related to him can easily top the Weibo trending topics.

If Lü Ming hadn't handled things well last night and had allowed Feng Teng to 'frame' him, the consequences would have been absolutely shocking, potentially even affecting Lü Ming's current status in the Chinese entertainment industry. This is why Lü Ming's assistant was so angry when she heard about it and insisted on filing a lawsuit.

It's worth noting that Lu Ming's assistant is known for being kind and gentle, preferring to stay out of things outside the industry and avoiding any conflicts with people in the circle.

“It’s time to sue!” Teacher He, who was sitting next to him, nodded. Even Teacher He, who is known for being a good person in the entertainment industry, did not think that Lü Ming’s actions were wrong.

Given that Feng Teng's 'false accusations' yesterday could potentially ruin Lü Ming's future prospects, it's perfectly normal for Lü Ming to respond, and even suing Feng Teng would be reasonable.

As someone in the industry, He Jiong knows all too well how much these 'slanderous' and 'speculation' remarks can affect an artist.

Take, for example, the "backstabbing incident" back then. It was because of that guy's baseless accusations that Yin Xiaotian, who was at the height of his career at the time, was embroiled in scandal.

Even if she proves her innocence in the end, it still won't change anything; her popularity plummets.

Were you provoked by those reporters yesterday?

"You're not really planning to go head-to-head with Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, are you?"

After saying this, Teacher He seemed to remember something and suddenly asked Lü Ming with a gossipy look on his face.

If we're talking about the hottest topic online from last night until now, it has to be Lü Ming's interview last night.

Now, almost the entire internet is speculating whether what Lü Ming said last night was true or false. Was he just provoked by those entertainment reporters and said it offhand, or did he really intend to star in a movie to compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West?

Aside from some netizens discussing which movie Lü Ming intends to star in and which big-name director he plans to collaborate with, the vast majority of people believe that Lü Ming's statement was just casual and that it's impossible for him to actually compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget Journey to the West sequel as he said.

In the entertainment industry, it's all too common for celebrities like Lü Ming to make bold statements in front of the camera. Not to mention Lü Ming, even some established A-list actors and actresses have made similar statements, but in the end, nothing came of it.

Unless Lü Ming is an idiot, he wouldn't be so foolish as to jeopardize his future with such nonsense.

Given Lü Ming's current popularity and his acting skills, which are far superior to other popular young actors, as long as he continues to work steadily, he will definitely have no problem making a name for himself in the film industry in the future. In fact, some people in the film industry that He Jiong knows have talked to him about Lü Ming's acting skills.

It's said that Lü Ming's acting skills need some work. If he encounters a good project, he might be able to win some top awards for Best Actor in the future.

If Lü Ming were to actually compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget Journey to the West sequel starring Wu Qian, it would be a huge loss. If he failed, it would be very difficult for Lü Ming to cross over into the film industry in the future.

It's important to understand that the film industry is a place where success or failure is the ultimate standard. Even for a top-tier artist like Lü Ming, if his first film fails, people will start to doubt him, and some big-budget productions will naturally skip him.

Although if Lü Ming said that the interview he gave on camera that day was just some nonsense, it would make those haters rejoice, but compared to those situations, this price is still acceptable.

"Teacher He, what do you think?"

Upon hearing Teacher He's question, Lü Ming did not answer it directly. Instead, he smiled and asked Teacher He in return.

"To be honest, if anyone else had said that, I would have thought they were exaggerating!"

Teacher He gave Lü Ming a meaningful look, and then continued, "But since you said it yourself, I'm a little unsure!"

Just as Teacher He said, if other artists said the same thing, Teacher He would almost certainly think that person was just spouting nonsense and would never be a fool to compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West.

But these words came from Lü Ming's mouth!
Although He Jiong doesn't know as much about Lü Ming as he does about people around him like Dilraba and Gulnazar, after so much time together, He Jiong believes he has a fairly good understanding of Lü Ming's personality.

Lu Ming's somewhat eccentric personality often leads him to do things that others deem impossible.

For example, when Lü Ming said he would make a movie to compete with Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, many artists in the industry and people He Jiong had met thought it was impossible. But He Jiong always felt that something was wrong and that Lü Ming might actually be serious.

It's very likely that Lü Ming is actually preparing to make a movie to compete with Wu Qian and Hua Yue.

After discussing the preparations for the variety show "Who's the Murderer," Teacher He couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Lü Ming about his doubts.

If Lü Ming is really going to do this, then Teacher He is prepared to see if he can provide Lü Ming with as much help as possible.

To be honest, as one of the most famous hosts in the Chinese entertainment industry, Mr. He is known for his extensive network of connections in the entertainment circle. Even in the film industry, Mr. He has many friends.

If Lü Ming needs help, Teacher He will naturally not refuse.

Putting aside the fact that Teacher He and Lü Ming already had a good relationship, no one would choose Wu Qian over Lü Ming unless they were completely stupid.

"Hahaha!"

"Teacher He understands me best!"

After hearing what Teacher He said, Lü Ming smiled and did not deny anything.

Seeing Lü Ming's attitude, Teacher He and Li Yan instantly understood that what Lü Ming said in the interview last night wasn't just a casual remark, but rather a genuine intention to make a movie to compete with Wu Qian and Hua Yue. (End of Chapter)
