Chapter 40: Being Used
Peng Yichen is really on fire.
It's not a fake fire, it's a real fire, it's not a small fire, it's a big fire.
As the hottest female star in China, Yu Jing's love life over the years has been really monotonous, and there are few scandals, let alone a confirmed relationship.
Such a simple emotional life simply cannot satisfy the raging gossip of Chinese audiences.
Except for the ex-boyfriend who broke up within two years of his debut. Yu Jing seems to have had scandals with all the young actors who have played opposite roles, but none of the reporters have come up with conclusive evidence and photos.
Those scandals are like bubbles, and every time Yu Jing's economic team issues a public statement afterwards, these scandals dissipate instantly.
But this time it's different, this time it's Yu Jing who admits that she has a new boyfriend.
As a female star who has played the heroine in every film for five consecutive years, the box office has exceeded 100 million. Yu Jing's influence is unimaginable to ordinary people.
In all fairness.
What makes the news media excited is that the boyfriend who Yu Jing admitted in person for the first time since her debut actually played the hero's rival in the recently popular youth idol drama - Zhao Wenbin.
In recent years, the Internet has gradually emerged, and the ratings of TV stations have deteriorated.
In the past three years, there have only been two TV dramas with a national rating of more than 15%, with the highest rating of 32% for "Dream of Red Mansions" and 38% for "Journey to the West".
But it was a huge production that cost China Television a lot of money and took more than 3 years to shoot.
What about "Tomorrow's Star"? It's just a film director who makes literary films, and he invested less than 10 million yuan and completed the shooting in three months.
To the surprise of all critics and media, such a medium-cost, non-connotative TV series broke 10% in the first broadcast rating of Kyoto TV, reaching 10.7%.
The top ratings of the second day broadcast exceeded 16%.
The highest ratings on the third day of broadcasting exceeded 20%.
After only 5 days of broadcasting, the ratings of "Rising Star" have stabilized at around 30%.
Although it is difficult to surpass the 38% ratings record of "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions" maintains the second ranking in the ratings, and it looks like it is about to be surpassed by this TV series.
Because of the popularity of this TV series, the door of the advertising department of Kyoto TV is about to be squeezed by those manufacturers.
For a time, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet in China were overwhelmingly news about this TV series.
"Tomorrow's Star" is a standard idol drama, which is different from large-scale TV series such as "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions". The biggest attraction of idol dramas is the handsome men and beautiful women, which is the star effect.
Xu Xinhui and Li Bingyan, as the heroes and heroines of this TV series, have grown in popularity at a rate that is like a rocket with a booster, and the first round of the TV series has not ended, and their worth has both mentioned the price of first-line stars, and this price is increasing every day.
The Chinese entertainment industry was shocked by the speed of the growth of the value of these two young people.
The media added fuel to the fire, constantly hyping up the scandal between the two people, wanting to get a piece of the pie in this entertainment feast.
And Peng Yichen, as the supporting actor with the most roles in this TV series, in addition to the male and female protagonists, is also growing by leaps and bounds.
But because after he finished filming "Tomorrow's Star", he joined the crew of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty". Didn't participate in the promotion of "Rising Star" at all. I usually never participate in commercial performances and don't appear on TV shows.
So the outside world doesn't know anything about his situation at all.
In "Tomorrow's Star", Peng Yichen relied on his superb acting skills and outstanding appearance, and was stunned to interpret Zhao Wenbin's more annoying supporting role into a humble son who was infatuated, loved drama, and loved acting, and finally did not get the love of the heroine, and left gloomily.
Such a performance has attracted a large number of fans for him, but Huimin Film and Television doesn't know what to think, but it has never publicized Peng Yichen's information to the outside world. Therefore, the media and fans simply can't find this person, let alone interview and report on him.
What the media never expected was that the boyfriend Yu Jing admitted personally was this "Zhao Wenbin" who had been mysteriously disappeared.
On the night of the official launch of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", when the reporters excitedly took the photo of Yu Jing holding Peng Yichen's arm, they were ready to send it back to the company, and put this blockbuster news on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.
But I don't know which reporter always feels like I've seen Peng Yichen somewhere. When he tried to search for the word "Peng Yichen" on the Internet, he was surprised to find that he was the second male actor in the recently popular Chinese TV series "Rising Star".
This discovery made Yu Jingzhong's news of admitting that she had a new boyfriend have an explosive spread effect.
One is Yu Jing, the queen of Chinese film and television, and the other is Peng Yichen, the second male number of the hottest idol drama at the moment.
How did these two meet?
How do you fall in love?
When is the relationship determined?
Yu Jing is almost 25 years old, but Peng Yichen is not yet 22 years old, Yu Jing is 3 years older than Peng Yichen, can this sister-brother love last long?
All questions must be answered by the person concerned.
The hotel where the crew of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" stayed was surrounded by groups of reporters the next morning, and even the back door was blocked.
All the reporters wanted to interview Yu Jing and Peng Yichen as soon as possible.
After Yu Jing pulled Peng Yichen to say those words, she thought of the reporter's reaction, but she didn't expect the reporter to have such a reaction.
But the agent team was not prepared, they were very busy, and they were busy all night to calm the pressure on all sides.
"Jingjing, I'm not talking about you, you debuted at the age of 20, and it's been 6 years now. It's time for you to be mature, too. How can you say that in front of a journalist. Even if you fall in love, you can talk to Sister Lan in advance, when will Sister Lan stop you from falling in love!"
Yu Jing's agent is a well-known "Iron Lady" in the Chinese entertainment industry, who is resolute and resolute, firm and decisive, and is also famous for the stars who sign contracts with her subordinates, and many celebrities treat her as their own sister.
She relied on this special personality charm and ability to create a great career and achievements in the entertainment industry, and two years ago, she left the state-owned brokerage company where she originally worked and set up an entertainment economic company by herself, specializing in providing various services for her stars.
"Sister Lan, my good Sister Lan. Wasn't the incident of that meeting me in a café exposed by the media? If those reporters were to look into it, they would definitely find out that the had threatened me with a book. ”
Yu Jing took Sister Lan's hand and was coquettish like an ordinary little girl.
Sister Lan looked at the film and television queen in front of her, who looked domineering and noble on the outside, with a flattering face in front of her, and the anger in her heart disappeared ninety percent.
"So, in order to divert attention, you pulled a man you don't know, and introduced him to the reporter as your boyfriend?"
"Sister Lan is wise!hehe!" Yu Jing smiled slyly.
"Well, I'm really heartbroken for your sake. Sister Lan angrily slapped away Yu Jing and shook her little hand.
"I'll communicate with that Peng Yichen's economist first, if the other party has no opinion, they shouldn't have an opinion. ”
Sister Lan took out the phone as she spoke, she was worthy of being the top agent in the Chinese entertainment industry, and asked for the phone number of Peng Yichen's agent Sun Yizou in three or two clicks.
Yu Jing asked Sister Lan knowingly: "Sister Lan, what are you communicating with that man's economist?"
Sister Lan twisted Yu Jing's nose angrily.
"Now, the people of the whole country know that Peng Yichen is your Yu Jing's boyfriend. You can't just make the relationship public and break up the next day. Whether you pretend to be his girlfriend or really be his girlfriend, the relationship between the two of you is not allowed to break off for 3-5 months. Otherwise, your image in the public eye will be completely ruined. You know what?"
"Ah, do you need to pretend for so long? You're not afraid that the boy will take advantage of me. Yu Jing complained with a bitter face.
"Hmph, it's good if you don't take advantage of others, others can take advantage of you?" Sister Lan, who knew that Yu Jing was fine, didn't eat her set.
Don't look at this little girl pretending to be pitiful in front of her, but in front of outsiders, her aura and her means are no worse than herself, the "Iron Lady" in the entertainment industry.
In this year, in this mixed entertainment industry, she has climbed to the throne of "Queen of Film and Television" step by step by relying on her own means, and she can still maintain her self-cleanliness. Never accept the so-called unspoken rules.
Yu Jing's character and methods are by no means imaginable to ordinary people.
"Okay, I'm not going to live here with you for nothing. Tomorrow morning, in the lobby of this hotel, I will hold a press conference with Mr. Xiao of Huimin Film and Television. Make your boyfriend and girlfriend relationship public with Peng Yichen. You prepare me, what to say and what not to say when the time comes, you know, don't give me any more moths. ”
Sister Lan fell down this sentence, turned around and walked out of the business suite where Yu Jing lived alone.
