Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.
Chapter 97 Reality and Reality
The influence of "My Love from the Star" is terrifying. As long as Zhang Yang doesn't mess things up, he will be the most popular young actor in the Chinese entertainment industry for the next few years, without exception.
The entertainment industry is the most pragmatic circle. Faced with a rising star like Zhang Yang who has both popularity and capital, his colleagues with high emotional intelligence are naturally willing to support him.
"You only started getting into the film and television industry last year, right... That's amazing."
Liu Yifei's tone carried a hint of sourness. She had been in the film industry for many years and had worked with many big names, such as the Kung Fu Emperor and Big Brother Dragon. In the end, they were all just nodding acquaintances. Unlike Zhang Yang, who had so many people willing to give him a platform.
"Mr. Zhang, how do you usually deal with them? Could you teach me how to expand my network?"
Looking at Yang Mi's expectant face, Zhang Yang fell silent. Some things just can't be taught.
If Zhang Yang were simply a wildly popular celebrity, few people would give him a second glance. The reason so many people support him is because he is the second son of Xuewei Beer, and he has capital.
Capital is the real reason why these people flock to it.
Neither Liu Yifei nor Yang Mi have any real resources. Even if Liu Yifei has a strong backing, it won't bring any benefits to these people, so naturally they are unwilling to go out of their way to support her.
Meeting Yang Mi's inquisitive gaze, Zhang Yang only replied with one sentence: "Mi Mi, relying on others is unreliable. Only when you build your own network will others rush to flatter you. So, work hard. The day you become a force to be reckoned with, the entertainment industry will be full of smiles."
Just as Yang Mi was about to say something, the car arrived at the hotel where the premiere was being held.
"Time to get off the bus... Control your expression, there are quite a few reporters today."
Of course, reporters also need holidays, but Zhang Yang pays them so much that some reporters from other places don't mind making a trip to the capital to work overtime.
Zhang Yang was willing to spend money because he hoped "You Are the Apple of My Eye" would get more exposure. It's going to be released tomorrow, and he's already taken all the steps. How could he be stingy with this last bit of effort?
When Zhang Yang walked down the red carpet with Liu Yifei on one arm and Yang Mi on the other.
Click click click!
On both sides of the red carpet, reporters were snapping photos non-stop, the flashes so bright they were blinding!
The fans' screams were deafening, reaching the heavens.
"Aaaaaah!! Sisi, look at me!!"
"I love you, Zhang Yang!!"
"Zhang Yang, look here!!!"
"Zhang Yang, Qianqian, please get married right now... I'm a huge fan of your pairing!!"
The shout was particularly loud. Zhang Yang felt Liu Yifei's arm, which was linked with his, stiffen. He glanced in the direction the sound came from and realized that it must be an actor he had paid to hire. He would definitely give him an extra 100 yuan as a reward after the event.
Listening to the frenzied shouts of Liu Yifei and Zhang Yang's fans, Yang Mi felt very envious. Zhang Yang's words in the car earlier flashed through her mind. She decided that she must become a capital in the future, not for anything else, but just to stand in the center of the spotlight.
Amidst the cheers of her fans, Liu Yifei waved continuously.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, Liu Yifei saw some guests that Zhang Yang had not mentioned.
Among them were Xu Guangtou and someone who surprised Zhang Yang—Huang Xiaoming.
Standing next to Huang Xiaoming was not Yang Ying, but Li Feier.
While Li Feier's pleading certainly contributed to Huang Xiaoming's visit, Huang Xiaoming's own desire to come was the primary reason.
No one understands the influence of Zhang Yang's "My Love from the Star" in Korea better than Li Feier, who has personally experienced all of this. Although she cannot debut due to the bankruptcy of her Korean company, she still wants to get to know Zhang Yang!
"Mr. Zhang, I wish the movie great success."
Looking at Huang Xiaoming's smiling face, Zhang Yang had a few questions in his mind. He was practically at odds with Wang Xiaoer from Huayi Brothers. What was the meaning of Huang Xiaoming, the top star of Huayi Brothers, attending the premiere of his movie?
Fortunately, Li Feier, who was next to Huang Xiaoming, cleared up Zhang Yang's doubts. She said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, I often hear your name in Korea. When you go to Korea to promote your work, I can be your tour guide."
Li Feier's words were a bit ambiguous. Indeed, she is a heartthrob killer in the entertainment industry, with rumored boyfriends spanning China and Korea, earning her the nickname "Xiao Yaxuan of the Chinese entertainment circle."
Li Feier's words made Huang Xiaoming feel a little embarrassed, while Zhang Yang did not respond to Li Feier, but instead smiled and shook hands with Huang Xiaoming.
"We have a lot of guests today, so please forgive us if we are not attentive enough, Brother Ming."
"It's okay, you go about your business."
After saying goodbye to Huang Xiaoming and Li Feier, Zhang Yang took Liu Yifei and Yang Mi to meet Chen Daoming and Wang Jinghua.
"Sister Hua, Teacher Chen, thank you for your support!"
Wang Jinghua chuckled and said, "What kind of talk is that? You're getting out of touch."
"Hello, Teacher Chen! Hello, Sister Hua!"
The two smiled and nodded in response to Yang Mi's greeting, but didn't say anything. After all, Yang Mi's status was different from theirs; they only nodded because of Zhang Yang.
The group started chatting, with Liu Yifei standing to the side the whole time, looking like an outsider. Yang Mi wasn't much better off, even worse than Liu Yifei, like a maid.
At this moment, Fan Bingbing walked over. Upon seeing her, Zhang Yang quickly greeted her, "Sister Bingbing, long time no see!"
"Has it been a long time?"
Seeing that Fan Bingbing was implying something, Zhang Yang almost choked on his saliva. He knew that he absolutely could not back down at this moment, otherwise Fan Bingbing would think that he was guilty and would always tease him about today's incident in the future.
"Ahem... As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns, hasn't it been a long time?"
"Oh, I see... Then why didn't you ask me to walk the red carpet with you?"
Seeing Fan Bingbing teasing him, Zhang Yang could only laugh it off: "I was just worried that you're too busy, Bingbing-jie, to have time."
Noticing Liu Yifei's embarrassment, Fan Bingbing gave Zhang Yang a look, then smiled and said, "Little brother Zhang Yang, you should go and entertain the guests first. After all, you are the host, and it wouldn't be good to neglect them."
"OK..."
Turning his head, Zhang Yang bumped into Li Shaohong, Lin Yushen, and Li Lin!
Lin Yushen looked at Liu Yifei and Yang Mi on either side of Zhang Yang with a playful expression.
Yang Mi is an old acquaintance of Li Shaohong and Lin Yushen, but she is not very familiar with Li Lin. However, after working together on the TV series "The Dream of Red Mansions" and "Swords of Legends", they have developed a fairly good relationship.
Thus, this place became Yang Mi's home turf, while Liu Yifei remained like an outsider.
Seeing Zhang Yang's pleading look, Lin Yushen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, let's go over there. I have something to discuss with you privately."
After the two walked to the side, Lin Yushen gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up: "Wow, my Yang-ge is amazing! Taking two A-list actresses to the red carpet at once, this is definitely going to be a headline story tomorrow!"
"It's alright, I just learned a lot from you, Brother Lin."
"Watch out, or I'll sue you for defamation. I'm not as cunning as you..."
After joking around with Lin Yushen for a few minutes, Zhang Yang took Liu Yifei and Yang Mi to greet the others. Well, actually, Zhang Yang wanted to leave Yang Mi there, but she wouldn't budge like a leech. What could Zhang Yang do but let her do as she pleased?
At worst, I'll give her a good beating after the premiere tonight.
