Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

After the celebration party for "My Love from the Star" ended, Zhang Yang began preparing for the live broadcast on Raccoon Voice. During this time, he also took some time to go home and have a meal with his parents and visit his grandparents.

Of course, Zhang Yang didn't forget his promise to Wang Like, so he gave her a portion of the script for "The Heirs," waiting for her to take the bait.

Just as Zhang Yang was practicing his singing, he unexpectedly received a private invitation from Yang Mi's agent, Zeng Jia. The location was set at an extremely secluded members-only private club, which is known for protecting the privacy of its guests and is the first choice for many important business meetings.

Yang Mi?

What did she ask me to do? Was she also trying to win the lead role in "The Heirs"?

To meet or not to meet?

The answer, of course, is yes.

Three days later, Zhang Yang, accompanied by his private bodyguard Chen Wen, came to the private club to meet Yang Mi and Zeng Jia.

Bringing bodyguards is, of course, for safety. Zhang Yang doesn't want to be performing some kind of aerial acrobatic act for no reason, and there might even be two extra watches in his pockets.

When Zhang Yang saw Yang Mi in the private room, even he, who was used to seeing beauties, had to admit that Yang Mi was stunning. She truly deserved to be the female celebrity with the most fans for her body; she was indeed incredibly curvaceous.

Today, Yang Mi didn't choose the usual sexy dress or smart suit. Instead, she wore a dark purple silk shirt with matching high-waisted wide-leg pants. The top two buttons of the shirt were casually undone, revealing a slender collarbone and a full pearl necklace.

She leaned back on the vintage leather sofa, the soft lighting softening her overly sharp eyes and adding a touch of languor and mystery, making the whole scene resemble a scene from a Hollywood Golden Age movie.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming."

Yang Mi stood up to greet him with a polite smile and graceful movements, inviting Zhang Yang to sit down. Zeng Jia, meanwhile, skillfully prepared red wine and cigar cutters.

After exchanging pleasantries, the waiter left, leaving only four people in the private room. Yang Mi gently swirled the red wine in her glass, the amber liquid rippling in the crystal glass, and she got straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll be frank. I want to leave Rongxinda. I wonder if you would be willing to take me in?"

Zhang Yang was shocked by Yang Mi's words and couldn't understand why she wanted to switch jobs to his company.

In his previous life, Zhang Yang had been a fan of Yang Mi for a while. He knew that after leaving Rongxinda, she spent some time in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, then established her own studio, and later started a company, becoming the first person to win a bet with capital and directly advance into the realm of capital.

Now, Yang Mi is actually going to switch jobs to her own company.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yang understood her purpose in doing so.

He took a sip of wine and looked at Yang Mi with a frank gaze, without beating around the bush: "Miss Yang, I am very touched by your high regard for me. However, the female lead for 'The Heirs' has been basically decided, and even the second female lead is in the final negotiation stage."

Upon hearing Zhang Yang's words, Yang Mi's fingers paused slightly, a fleeting hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she instantly regained her composure. She didn't press the matter, instead smiling, "It seems I'm a step too late. So, Mr. Zhang's meaning is..."

"Ms. Yang, to be honest, I really have high hopes for your future. If you switch to my company, although I can't give you the lead role in 'The Heirs,' I can get you another role in a drama."

Zhang Yang leaned forward slightly, looking intently at Yang Mi, his voice full of seduction: "I can guarantee that you can participate in the new drama from the script development stage. I can guarantee that this drama will be a true masterpiece, not like 'Little East Evil'."

Zhang Yang's offer was big and appealing enough. He not only promised her the absolute female lead role but also gave her the right to participate in the creative process, directly hitting Yang Mi's heart that yearned for a voice.

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia exchanged a glance. She understood that this was the best offer she could get from Zhang Yang at the moment. Instead of forcefully fighting for a role that had already been decided, it was better to secure absolute control over the next project.

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Mi finally smiled, picked up her wine glass, and said, "It seems I need to get Sister Jia and Rong Xinda to complete the formalities as soon as possible so I can focus on preparing for my new film."

Zhang Yang also raised his glass, a deep smile on his face: "Yang Mi, believe me, you will definitely not regret the choice you made today."

The two clinked glasses, the crisp sound echoing in the quiet private room, and an alliance that mutually benefited was quietly formed.

Yang Mi received a highly tempting promise of the future and a higher-level cooperation platform, while Zhang Yang effortlessly gained the future renowned Boss Yang. As for the rest, there's no rush.

.....

Zhang Yang naturally prepared the TV series that made her a huge star in her previous life for Yang Mi, not "Palace", but "Swords of Legends".

It's only the end of 2008 now, and the game version of Gujian Qitan hasn't been released yet. Even if there's an idea, so what? It's just a coincidence. After all, any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.

In the original timeline, "Gu Jian Qi Tan: Qin Xin Jian Po Jin He Zai" was released on July 10, 2010. With more than a year to go before its release, Zhang Yang didn't need to buy the copyright at all. Instead, after filming "Gu Jian Qi Tan", he could still make a "Palace".

...

The popularity of "My Love from the Star" did not decline after the finale; on the contrary, it became even more popular with the start of its second run on satellite TV. This also led to more attention being paid to the live stream of the male lead, Zhang Yang, on Raccoon Voice.

Many people online are discussing whether Zhang Yang's live streaming debut will be a disaster.

"I can't wait! I'm so excited! Just thinking about Zhang Yang's impending downfall makes me want to roll around on the floor with joy!"

"I don't know where Zhang Yang gets his confidence from. He's been lying so much, does he really think he has singing skills?"

"I'm just waiting to see what happens. Whether it turns out badly or not, I'm already totally won."

Some paid online trolls are constantly fanning the flames.

"If Zhang Yang's livestream doesn't go wrong, I'll immediately livestream myself eating shit!"

"Do you think Zhang Yang will desert his post at the last minute?"

"Probably not, he's not stupid."

"Hehe, he's been quite quiet lately, not causing any trouble at all."

"So, this is called having self-awareness. Now that they know to keep a low profile, they're just trying to muddle through."

"The person upstairs is right."

They spoke with conviction, like wise men who had seen through everything and grasped the truth, their tone unusually certain.

So what is Zhang Yang doing right now?

He's doing.....

Yu Na leaned against Zhang Yang's chest and glared at him irritably.

Zhang Yang could only smile awkwardly at this; he had simply been too excited and had driven too recklessly.

At that moment, Zhang Yang realized a truth: no matter when you're on the road, you can't drive aggressively, otherwise the engine will roar.

"Zhang Yang, so many people online are skeptical of your livestream, are you really sure you're okay?"

"Don't worry, I've made thorough preparations since I dared to do a live stream."

Seeing Zhang Yang's certainty, Yu Na didn't say anything more.

"Sister Na, you should work out properly these days. A lot of your scenes next year will involve wire work. I'll be heartbroken if you get injured."

"Hmph, you feel sorry for me, yet you tormented me like that just now."

"Who can blame me when you're so charming, Sister Na?"
