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

Chapter 45 The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky is high enough for birds to fly! Giving the Chinese entertainment industry a little shock! [Seeking monthly votes]

[He still has to be a nobody!]

He certainly didn't disappoint me!

[This is a ridiculous combination of "Shen Te Miao Ming Tian Re Si" (a popular internet slang term for "awesome" or "troublesome"). Are you trying to make me laugh to death?!]

The nascent CP (couple) fans immediately scattered the moment they heard this name!

[Other people's pigeons are just reaping profits; they can publish a book for 200 yuan, or at worst, sell socks for 3,000 yuan, pants for 5,000 yuan, and hats for 8,000 yuan. But you're just throwing around brands worth 500,000 yuan. Are you even human?!]

[They have no joy in victory in their eyes, only a thirst for wealth!]

[I was so impressed by how good he sounded, I was even prepared to spend 50 yuan to buy it as a souvenir. But then I heard that this washed-up actor was saving up to make a TV series, so I immediately bought all the SVIP activation codes and sent them to the guys in the live stream!]

[The boss is so generous!]

Who gave him the confidence to film a web series?

[Just hearing the phrase "a washed-up actor wants to film a movie" makes me dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor with my toes!]

Check out "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine," produced by Huayue. Oh, it was taken down by the platform because it was too offensive. Oh well, never mind!

Why are these dead memories suddenly attacking me?!

[Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!]

[He's already been fired by Huayue Entertainment, what kind of movies can he possibly make now? They've even posted a blatant blacklist. After today, he'll be completely forgotten in the Chinese entertainment industry.]

[I've been a fan since he debuted as a relatively unknown actor. If he continues to appear on variety shows, I'll fully support him. But if he wants to act, I support a boycott!]

【Agree! 】

[His crazy antics on variety shows only hurt other guests, but if he were to actually make a web series about it, it would be a disservice to the eyes of millions of viewers!]

[Is it just the eyes? Who bears the emotional trauma?]

It's been a whole year since "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" aired. Those who were traumatized back then should have recovered by now. But hearing that he's going to make another film has brought back the fear of being dominated by a washed-up actor!

Hahaha, you guys are going too far!

The reason why Dilraba and netizens reacted so strongly is because they had heard about Lü Ming's story, which included some victims.

At his peak, Lü Ming became a top star with his stunning looks that were a game-changer for the Chinese entertainment industry. Although Huayue was ruthless, they still held a 91% revenue share in their hands, so they did not neglect to develop Lü Ming's commercial value, creating two web dramas and a single for him.

The drama "The Splendid Romance" mentioned by netizens is one of them.

Before the web series aired, many female fans were very fond of his looks, calling him "Gege" all the time. However, after the web series premiered, Lü Ming experienced a large loss of fans. After all 41 episodes of the series were broadcast, he lost more than half of his fanbase, which was already a sign of his career collapsing.

Because his acting in the show was so terrible, coupled with the passionate accusations from netizens, KuYing completely removed the show from its platform just one week after it ended, making it impossible to even search for it.

Realizing the situation was turning against him, Hua Yue immediately pulled his second web series, which was already halfway through filming. The production company quickly deleted all of his scenes and temporarily found a male lead to replace him.

Of course, that show ultimately flopped completely.

Since then, Hua Yue has never arranged any film or television resources for herself.

As for the single that was released, it was the kind of song that even a million sound engineers couldn't save. Even if some artists wanted to defend themselves, their idol was just tone-deaf, and there was no way to defend him. This battle also caused Lu Ming's fan base, which had already shrunk due to his cringeworthy TV dramas, to shrink even further.

Since then, both his acting and singing career paths have been blocked. Those who still dare to surf the internet with the 'nameplate' fan label are basically just fans who are attracted to his looks.

Even so, during that period, through various endorsements and variety show appearances, Lü Ming generated over 100 million yuan in profits for Huayue!
This is why idols have such a high status in the Chinese entertainment industry. A top idol with no skills can generate hundreds of millions in revenue for a company. If they also have some acting skills and can sing like a karaoke star, their earning power will increase exponentially.

The internet changes very quickly, and even those who experienced it firsthand have forgotten about this incident that happened a year ago. But when Lü Ming mentioned the keyword "filming," it immediately prompted the victims who had witnessed that period of history to come forward and make accusations.

Some of the later fans, seeing how confident Lü Ming was, felt that the doubting netizens were exaggerating, while others were intrigued and wanted to see for themselves.

Although the show had been taken down for a year and could no longer be found through official channels, modern netizens are good at finding history, and soon clips of the show appeared on various short video platforms.

The onlookers were initially excited to search for the story, but after witnessing firsthand Lü Ming's past high-level acting skills, they all became depressed.

#One act of extroversion resulted in a lifetime of social withdrawal!#
#苯ACAacting. #
#The unsolvable historical problem of how to commit the perfect crime has finally found its best answer today: blatantly embarrass someone to death!#
Can someone who has suffered emotional trauma seek compensation from their abuser?

#The end of the Chinese entertainment industry! A washed-up celebrity openly stated that he would self-finance a web series that viewers would rave about. #
#Huka is no longer content with using food to create history; he intends to use web series as a form of intellectual debate to poison the audience!#
#Huayue's ban, seemingly targeting obscure celebrities, is actually saving the world!#
Some strange terms quickly appeared on Weibo's trending topics list, and they rose very rapidly, with a high number of likes!
……

After the awards ceremony, the filming of the first episode of Running Man came to an end.

Deng Chao suggested that everyone have a dinner together to celebrate that evening. After all, whether it was Lü Ming's final comeback against Kim Jong-kook, which saved everyone from the crisis of being caught in a media storm, or the sky-high popularity of Running Man, it was all worth sitting down and celebrating.

But Lü Ming was too drunk. After quickly adding everyone as friends, he took a taxi and left.

Teacher Huang and Wu Qian, who were harboring a lot of bad intentions, were very disappointed.

That night, in addition to the hashtag #ActingSkillsOfUnknownActress# causing a stir on Weibo, the super topic related to Running Man was also extremely popular. Most importantly, this Running Man craze had spread to major short video platforms, and it was once flourishing everywhere. Its influence and reach were so great that it swept across the entire Internet.

The next day.

When Lü Ming woke up, he found a huge number of missed calls on his phone. It was a sea of ​​red, with all sorts of different numbers. Among them, Song Zhe's missed calls numbered a whopping 99+, which was quite conspicuous.

Lu Ming casually added Song Zhe to his blacklist and then called his assistant Xiao Ya back.

"Ming-ge, you finally called back! Where are you now? I arrived in Hangzhou last night, but you kept calling me and wouldn't answer. I was so worried!" Xiaoya's voice was urgent. "Our situation is extremely dire!"

"Why is it so serious?" Lu Ming had been recording a program all night and went to a hotel to sleep afterward, so he was unaware of the online commotion. However, judging from Xiao Ya's tone, Lu Ming guessed that it was probably because he had caused trouble for Hua Yue again by using that loan app.

He sent Xiaoya an address, then opened his phone and started browsing the internet.

When Lü Ming saw the termination agreement released by Huayue Guanwang, his eyes lit up: "It was settled so easily?"

Lu Ming had originally thought that if Hua Yue didn't let go of the installment loan issue, he would have to find a way to disguise himself as a member of Hua Yue's royal family and cause trouble everywhere in the entertainment industry with that label. However, he didn't expect that he had only caused a little trouble, but Hua Yue couldn't withstand the pressure and cut ties with him at lightning speed.

Upon learning that he was bound to this unscrupulous company at the beginning of his transmigration, Lü Ming felt extremely disgusted. In the days that followed, while secretly drinking to become stronger, he also concealed his true abilities and pondered how to regain his freedom. The shackles of the contract remained a thorn in his heart.

Now that his goal had been achieved and he had finally regained his freedom, he felt incredibly refreshed and light from head to toe.

"Now we're truly free to leap like fish in the sea and fly like birds in the sky!"

Just then, the doorbell rang. Lu Ming went to open the door and saw Xiao Ya rushing in: "Brother, did you just go online to find out what's going on?"

"I've seen it! Now I'm really going to take off!" Lu Ming nodded, his face beaming with excitement. "You should also hurry up and resign from Huayue. We'll open our own studio and prepare to give the Chinese entertainment industry a little shock!"

Xiaoya: "?" "Takeoff? And open a studio?" Xiaoya's watery eyes were full of surprise. Seeing Lü Ming's excited face, although she didn't want to shatter her idol's dream, she still said rationally:

"Brother, it's true that it's good that you've successfully terminated the contract, but the problem is that you've now been blacklisted by Huayue. You know how much power Huayue has. They're involved in all the major projects in the Chinese entertainment industry, from online platforms to TV stations. When they say they're blacklisting you, they really mean they're not leaving us any room to survive."

"And most importantly, these things!"

As Xiaoya was filled with worry, she took out a thick stack of documents from her briefcase, all of them lawyer's letters.

"That cocktail manufacturer, the installment loan company, and Huayue have all sued you, with the penalties for breach of contract reaching billions of yuan!"

"You brought all the way from Shanghai with these scraps of paper?" Lu Ming took the paper, both amused and exasperated, and casually tossed it into the trash can.

He had studied the contract with Huayue himself. The reason he was sure that the path of causing trouble would work was because Huayue's restrictions in this regard were very vague. Even if there were disputes later, he could win 100% of the time, no matter where the matter went.

After all, according to normal thinking, no one would joke about their future, so Huayue also suffered from its lack of experience in this regard.

Those messy penalty fees and lawyer's letters are only good for scaring legally illiterate people who have no similar experience.

The other two brands did suffer considerable losses, but if they really wanted to claim compensation, they should go to Huayue, since Huayue arranged the event. He was just an employee who was ordered to perform on the show, and he could reasonably stay out of it.

As for being blacklisted, he's not afraid at all!

This kind of soft blockade, implemented through cooperation, requires a certain level of social skill and understanding.

As a time traveler, Lü Ming was all too aware of the ins and outs. If he had no value, the business partners would just do him a favor out of consideration for Hua Yue. But with his current popularity, he didn't even need to show any talent that would redefine netizens' understanding; his mere traffic was enough to break this unspoken rule.

If Hua Yue were to bribe his way into blocking him from the entertainment industry, that would indeed be a minor problem. Of course, it would only be a minor problem. At worst, he could temporarily leave the entertainment industry and switch careers to become a live streamer on Douyin.

The internet doesn't just revolve around Huayue. They're a behemoth in the Chinese entertainment industry, but they're nothing compared to the rest of the internet.

Lü Ming believes that with his advanced concepts and experience, he can make a fortune by live-streaming and selling products on short video platforms and occasionally entertaining viewers. Once he has accumulated enough wealth, he can invest in making his own videos. It's just an extra step and a roundabout way of doing things.

As for Xiaoya, she had been with him for a long time, and she came to check on him the moment she learned that he had been blacklisted. Her stance was self-evident.

He needed people right now, and Lü Ming didn't mind letting Xiao Ya ride the fast track to wealth with him.

He was just about to explain the ins and outs to Xiaoya when his phone suddenly rang. After Lü Ming answered, Gangzi's laughter came from the other end: "Young man, what do you think now?"

"I've never felt so refreshed!" Lü Ming said with a smile.

Since participating in the Mushroom House episode, Kiwi TV has been reaping the benefits of its popularity. Although Lu Ming doesn't know the other party's revenue data, it's not hard to guess that the other party must have made a fortune during this period, especially after taking over the Running Man live stream.

Gangzi had taken so many benefits from me, so his call after Huayue threatened to blacklist me was clearly well-intentioned.

"You've got a good attitude, which is typical of you." Gangzi was a little surprised by Lü Ming's reaction, then laughed and said, "Now you have two paths in front of you."

"Please speak," Lü Ming said politely.

"First, you'll be signed with Kiwi Holdings' agency from now on. Your treatment will be on par with top-tier celebrities. You don't need to worry about the blacklist from Huayue anymore. It's no exaggeration to say that you can appear on any variety show in the Chinese entertainment industry that you want right now!"

Xiaoya, who was frowning with worry, widened her eyes in shock upon hearing this!

Kiwi fruit platform!

One of the three giants of today's internet video platforms, and also one of the largest investors in the domestic entertainment industry, it invests in hundreds of TV series and dozens of big-budget movies every year. It is a real capital. Although the several brokerage companies under its control do not have any big names, precisely because of this, Lu Ming will definitely receive preferential treatment in resources after joining. The boss has made such a generous promise, there is absolutely no reason to refuse!

Xiaoya excitedly hugged Lü Ming's arm, her big, watery eyes filled with excitement; she was practically ready to snatch the phone and agree immediately.

"Why don't you suggest the second option?" Lü Ming said dismissively.

Xiaoya: "??!"

Oh no, it seems Ming is still drunk!
Even Gangzi on the other end of the phone was surprised by this answer: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I've worked my whole life and I don't want to work for others anymore. I want to live for myself," Lü Ming said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Gangzi couldn't help but remind him, "After you join, you'll receive preferential treatment in terms of resources. This is an opportunity that not everyone gets. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to act in a drama? The company can arrange an acting training class for you. You're still young, and if you're willing to learn, honing your acting skills shouldn't be difficult."

"As long as you reach the passing grade, I can tailor-make a drama with the male lead just by saying a word to you."

Xiaoya almost screamed when she heard this.

"Mr. Gang, I never eat pancakes," Lu Ming said with a smile. "Besides, I finally managed to get away from Huayue, and I can't possibly repeat the same mistake. Surely those brokerage companies that Kiwi have contracts that aren't signed for only one year at a time?"

All the entertainment agencies in China, even the most ethical ones on the surface, only offer five-year contracts.

"What 'General Manager Gang'? Call him General Manager Wang!" Gangzi, on the other end of the phone, was initially annoyed, but then suddenly widened his eyes in astonishment: "Did you deliberately cause trouble?!"

"Let's talk about the second option," Lü Ming said without elaborating.

But Gangzi had already guessed it.

Recalling how Lü Ming had previously made exaggerated accusations about cocktails being all about technology and ruthless techniques, and how he readily agreed to help "promote" installment loans without asking for any benefits, only to then expose the truth and lead netizens to fleece the platform, it's clear that no normal person would do something so thankless.
He had previously thought Lü Ming was a bit slow on the uptake, but after this brief conversation, Gangzi suddenly felt as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

but……

You're a nobody who can't act or sing, and is good for nothing except abstract art and a handsome face. What are you trying to achieve?

Even the self-proclaimed well-informed CEO of an internet company was shocked by Lü Ming's outrageous actions.

If the goal is simply to make money, wouldn't it be better to stay at Huayue and work peacefully? Why create such a huge mess!

After a long silence, Gangzi spoke in a complex tone:

"You've done me a huge favor. I can help you secure some gigs on other variety shows."

"In addition, Director Jiang asked me to pass on a message that Running Man can give you a spot as a regular MC! There are still 11 episodes to record. The TV station quoted 100 million per episode for the appearance fee, and Kiwi is sponsoring an additional 50, for a total of 150 million per episode. For 11 episodes, that's 1650 million before tax, to be paid in one lump sum."

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Xiaoya was still regretting that Lü Ming had rejected the good thing, but when she heard the good news from the other end of the phone, her fair and delicate face immediately turned rosy.

Lü Ming smiled and said, "Okay!"
