Baiyou Entertainment Company is one of the many entertainment companies in S City.
Baiyou Entertainment has not been established for a long time, but it has continued to grow. It was established in 2008, and it has been ten years now. This entertainment company was founded by an old artist. After its establishment, within ten years, it has become a popular entertainment company.
Many celebrities have become famous, including two first-tier stars, five second-tier stars, and many third-tier and below-tier stars. These stars are not only movie or TV stars, but also singers, models, and the like.
Li Ziyu is a female artist under Baiyou Entertainment Company. She is a second-tier movie star. In fact, she could have become a first-tier star. Unfortunately, two years ago, there was a scandal about being a big name, and she was criticized by many directors and producers.
The filmmakers and screenwriters resisted, and she had no chance to be a first-tier star, so she could only hang out in the second-tier stars. Even so, her status among the second-tier stars in the company was also precarious, and she was at the bottom.
Li Ziyu is thirty years old this year. Although she looks only in her mid-twenties, she has been in the industry for more than ten years and has been in a tepid state. Moreover, she is the first one after the establishment of Baiyou Entertainment.
When she first signed a contract with an artist, the company gave her a lot of resources and took her to various crews to film. However, many film and television dramas became popular. The male and female protagonists turned red and purple, and so did the supporting actresses. However,...
That's her, tepid.
In all the film and television dramas that Li Ziyu stars in, the audience will be able to recognize her when they see her, but they just can't pronounce her name. She belongs to the type where people who are famous in dramas are not popular.
Li Ziyu was born in a major, so she definitely has some acting skills. In the past ten years, her acting skills have been steadily improving, but she is not popular. Two years ago, she could have been able to rely on the most popular movie at the time.
She was famous in a movie, and the role was the heroine. However, after signing the contract, when it was about to start filming, she was suddenly exposed to be a big name, and then the contract was terminated and a temporary replacement was made. Not only did she lose the role of the heroine
, he was scolded so badly by netizens that he started to become autistic.
What's interesting is that the actress who replaced Li Ziyu is also from Baiyou Company, named Xu Lulu.
Xu Lulu is twenty-five years old this year. She is young, good-looking, good-looking, and has a lot of traffic. The only shortcoming is that she is not from a professional background. She has some acting skills, but it is not proportional to the salary she gets.
After all, now is an era where everything is fast-paced. It doesn't matter whether she has acting skills or not. As long as she can be popular and good-looking, she will be popular and make money.
Xu Lulu joined Baiyou Entertainment five years ago, but she is still a third-tier starlet, a walk-on. However, because she is young and beautiful, she has received a lot of favor. After signing with Baiyou Entertainment,
Soon he played the fifth female lead in a movie, and Li Ziyu was the second female lead. The movie was very popular. Except for Li Ziyu's second female lead, the other actors were all popular, and Xu Lulu also became popular.
Because this drama became so popular, it gained a large number of fans and traffic.
From that time on, the company began to give Xu Lulu certain resources. Although Xu Lulu did not have a professional background, every film and television drama she appeared in became a hit. As a result, her net worth began to skyrocket. In just five years,
In this period, she became one of the two first-tier stars of Baiyou Entertainment Company. However, as her senior, Li Ziyu has always been a second-tier star. It is impossible to say that she is not envious and jealous.
Two years ago, when Li Ziyu received the lead role in that movie, she was very excited and happy. She felt that her chance to make a comeback had come and she could finally become a first-line star. On the day she signed the contract, she posted it online
Weibo caused a big sensation. However, before she was happy for a few days, it was revealed that she was acting like a celebrity on the set and was terminated.
Before, Li Ziyu's fans thought this was a good opportunity for Li Ziyu to make a comeback. However, after the scandal was exposed, it quickly aroused abuse from many people. At first, Li Ziyu's die-hard fans defended her, but those who abused Li Ziyu were too
The fans couldn't stand it anymore. More importantly, Li Ziyu didn't speak out from the beginning to the end, which made the fans very disappointed. As a result, many fans began to quietly lose their fans.
After Li Ziyu's scandal broke out, Xu Lulu took over Li Ziyu's role and played the heroine. After the movie was released, it reaped a huge box office, and Xu Lulu became a first-line star and was nominated for Best Actress. Although
I didn’t win any prize, but being nominated is a symbol of my strength.
Compared with Xu Lulu's popularity, Li Ziyu was much more miserable. Although the agency carried out public relations operations afterwards, Li Ziyu's reputation and image were still affected a lot. In the past two years, she has not
She has received some decent scripts. Although she has also participated in some film and television dramas, her beauty and ratings are not very good, and there are fewer and fewer fans supporting her. The reason is because of the incident two years ago.
caused by scandal.

Baiyou Entertainment Company, in Li Ziyu's office.
Li Ziyu was sitting in front of the sofa, holding her laptop and browsing Weibo, while her agent was sitting nearby.
"Zi Yu, the company recently invested in a new movie. The heroine was originally said to be yours, but that bitch Xu Lulu took it away." The agent said with an angry look.
Li Ziyu did not raise her head and was still scrolling on Weibo silently. When she heard her manager's complaint, she said lightly: "Just take it away. Anyway, she is now a first-line star, and the company still expects her to make money."
"Even if she is a first-line star, you should still fight for it. You haven't had a good work in two years, and you are already thirty." The agent continued to complain.
"Strive for?"
Li Ziyu raised her head, looked at her agent, and smiled. The smile was bitter, but more of a helpless one. She shook her head and said, "Is it useful to fight for it?"
"Then you can't stay silent like you are now. Thirty is a hurdle. If you still don't have good works, the company will probably give up on you." The agent said angrily.
The entertainment industry is like this. Every star has an agent. Of course, there are some stars who don't have an agent. However, these artists without agents are all veteran actors. They have already become famous. It doesn't matter whether they need an agent or not.
, anyway, there are many people looking for them to film, and they never lack resources. It just depends on whether they are willing. However, Li Ziyu is different. She is just a small artist who has been in the industry for more than ten years and is still a second-tier star. It is very likely that in a few years, she will become a second-tier star.
In the year, she was no longer even a second-tier star, and as her manager, Chen Xiaohong, her interests were directly related to Li Ziyu. How could she not be anxious when she saw Li Ziyu's situation?
After hearing Chen Xiaohong's words, Li Ziyu closed his notebook with a dazed look in his eyes.
Yes, before she knew it, she was already thirty years old. She made her debut at the age of nineteen and started to enter the film and television industry when she was in school. In the past ten years, she has filmed numerous films and television dramas, large and small, but
, is in a tepid state. Although Baiyou Entertainment Company has given her a lot of help in terms of resources, she is still not popular after a long time, which also makes the company have the idea of giving up on her, but no matter
No matter how you put it, she is a second-tier star. She has good looks, figure, and acting skills. She still has a good chance of becoming a first-tier star. However, Li Ziyu seems to have reached a ceiling and can never break through.
Two years ago, that movie was the company's final plan to make her popular. The script was very good, and the other stars were all seasoned actors. As long as Li Ziyu performed well, she was not required to have explosive acting skills, as long as she showed
With her own abilities, she was actually very promising to become a first-line star. However, a scandal caused her to completely lose this opportunity.
The person who caused Li Ziyu to fail was actually not herself, but Xu Lulu.
It is actually common for celebrities to play big names in the entertainment industry. Of course, this phenomenon has only begun to occur in recent years. In the past, those veteran actors competed for their acting skills, and directors also valued their acting skills. However, it is different now
Nowadays, people's living standards have improved, the pace of life has become faster, and aesthetics have also undergone new changes. The audience no longer likes those powerful actors, but begins to pursue good looks. As long as they look good, they can become famous.
Being popular will bring traffic and sky-high remuneration. It is precisely because of this that they have no time to polish their acting skills. While they are still popular, they start to make money crazily. As long as the money is not provided,
I won’t film. Anyway, if you don’t want me to film, there are many people who want me. Just act like a big name. Anyway, I have a group of idiot fans. Who should I be afraid of if I have traffic?
It is precisely because of this mentality that although there are often some rumors on the Internet about Xiaohuadan acting like a big name on the set, they are soon whitewashed. Some people support them, and those old actors who were once famous for their acting skills are
Actors, the pay they get is only one-tenth of those of these stars. Sometimes, their unintentional remarks can offend many people and cause a war of words on the Internet.
Li Ziyu's so-called big name two years ago, in fact, there is no such thing at all, it is just someone deliberately trying to smear her. As for the statements issued by the so-called directors, producers, and screenwriters, they are just intentional.
The purpose is to attack Li Ziyu, and the person behind all this is actually Xu Lulu.
People in the industry knew this very well, and Li Ziyu also knew it. After the scandal broke out, she once thought about explaining it, but the company had already begun to give up on her, and even if she did,
Is it useful?
Obviously, it is useless. Her explanation will only cause a bigger scolding war. The best way is to remain silent. It is precisely because of her silence that many fans have lost their followers, and it is impossible for her to become a first-line star.
Even in a few years, no, in a few years, she won't even be a second-tier star.
Is Li Ziyu jealous?
She must be jealous, and extremely jealous. She is also an artist. Who doesn't want to be famous? No one thinks money is hot. She is older than Xu Lulu, has a better background than Xu Lulu, debuted earlier than Xu Lulu, and has acting skills.
She is much better than Xu Lulu, but she is not popular. Who makes her not as young, beautiful and understanding of the rules as Xu Lulu?
She is already thirty years old and cannot continue like this.
In fact, Li Ziyu already knew what Chen Xiaohong just said. Why didn't she want to stand up? However, her opportunity was snatched away by Xu Lulu again. She hated this woman so much that she wished she would die soon.
"Ding dong."
Just when Li Ziyu was thinking wildly, her cell phone rang, and it was a text message notification.
Li Ziyu picked up her phone and looked at it, and found that it was a text message from an 'acquaintance', and this 'acquaintance' was none other than Xu Lulu.
"Hyatt Hotel, room 5116, I have something to tell you."
The text message was very simple, but Li Ziyu frowned. She looked at the phone with a puzzled look on her face, not knowing what Xu Lulu wanted to do. However, after thinking about it, she stood up.
"Sister Hong, I have something to go out for."
"Where to go? I'll go with you."
Although Chen Xiaohong had been complaining just now, when she heard that Li Ziyu was going out, she immediately put forward her thoughts.
"No, I'll just go alone. I'll be back in a while."
"You really don't need me to accompany you?" Chen Xiaohong asked unwillingly.
"It's really not necessary. By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Please help me buy some gifts. I'm going to give them to my parents."
"Oh, okay then."
Chen Xiaohong did not persist.
Li Ziyu wore a red fleece on the bed, took a bag, put on a hat and sunglasses, walked out of the office, left Baiyou Entertainment Company, and headed to the Hyatt Hotel.

CSY, in Xu Lang's office.
After Xu Lang received three bouquets of flowers and three couriers, Xu Lang felt a pain in his balls when he saw the sender's name.
Just now, he was gloating about Qin Mingyue being pursued by Fan Yang, but now, he couldn't laugh at all.
Ye Du sent white roses, which fit her temperament very well, while Ye Xuefei sent a combination of white roses and red roses, ninety-nine, which was also the largest of the three bouquets of flowers, and Ning Yanran sent
It's a red rose.
The flowers were secondary, but the contents of the three express delivery items were unusual.
What Ning Yanran gave was a ZIPPO lighter, while what Ye Du gave was a belt, and what Ye Xuefei gave was much more luxurious. The package was large, with a set of clothes inside, and everything from the inside to the outside.
, shirts, suits, trousers, leather shoes, belts, ties, wallets, socks, and even underwear are all available, and they are all famous brands. Well, the world of the rich is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
Although Xu Lang doesn't pay much attention to luxury goods, he still has some experience. These things given by Ye Xuefei alone cost at least six figures. Xu Lang's balls ache just thinking about it. No wonder when Lu Xing came in just now,
His expression is so complicated.
Xu Lang sat in the office, hesitated for a while, repackaged the three packages and put them in the corner, preparing to return them to them the next time he saw them.
Outside the office.
"Lu Xing, who gave those things just now?" Fan Xian asked curiously.
"Who else could it be? It must be Ning Yanran, the newly appointed captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team, Ye Du, and Ye Xuefei, the big boss of the Ye Group." Fan Yang said sourly from the side.
"Besides flowers, what else is there?" Fan Xian asked again.
Fan Yang and Luo Jiayan also looked at Lu Xing curiously, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
However, Lu Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific gifts, but I feel that those things must be very expensive."
"Oh, that's it." Fan Xian said thoughtfully.
"Nonsense, it can't be expensive. That Ye Xuefei alone is a very rich man. How can the things she gave you be so cheap?" Fan Yang rolled his eyes and said.
Speaking of Ye Xuefei, Luo Jiayan and the others thought of the first time they saw Ye Xuefei. She was a completely cold and charming woman, just like an iceberg. Only when facing Xu Lang, she was
The ice and snow will melt, and Ye Xuefei's background was also known to the members of CSY after the Zou Renjiang case. In the recent Sun Wenyao case, Ye Xuefei was also involved, so they still envied Xu Lang, a little bit.
Jealous.
"By the way, which one will Brother Lang choose?" Lu Xing asked.
"I think it's Ye Du. After all, they grew up together." Luo Jiayan said first.
"I think it's Ye Xuefei. I heard that they were married as children. Moreover, Ye Xuefei is so rich. If you marry Ye Xuefei, you won't have to fight for the rest of your life."
"I think it should be Ning Yanran." Lu Xing said.
"I think it's Ye Du."
"I'm jealous that you are Ye Xuefei."
"...."
As a result, everyone started arguing about who Xu Lang chose to be with. In the end, everyone focused on Xiao Yueyue, who was eating melon seeds and watching a show.
"Xiao Yueyue, who do you think your father will choose?" Luo Jiayan asked.
Everyone also looked at Xiao Yueyue, but Xiao Yueyue rolled her eyes and said angrily: "How do I know?"
"Then which aunt do you like?"
"I like them all."
"Then which one do you like best?"
"I......"
"uh-huh."
Just when they were surrounding Xiao Yueyue and asking Xiao Yueyue who she liked, there was a cough from behind. Everyone turned around quickly and found Xu Lang looking at them with a gloomy face.
Perhaps out of guilty conscience, perhaps because they were talking about the leader behind his back, everyone quickly returned to their seats and pretended to be working. Then, they looked at Xu Lang carefully, not giving him a chance to get angry.
Xu Lang opened his mouth and was about to say something when the phone rang.
"Hello."
"A murder occurred at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. CSY, please come over."
