For the next two months, Xia Muge paid no attention to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was probably destined for fame; without Xia Muge's intervention, his popularity had spread to many corners of the internet.
However, Gu Yu's previous group of fans will basically never come back.
Most of his former female fans couldn't relate to what he had done.
Therefore, most of the people joining the fan group now are male fans.
Compared to female fans, male fans are not as aggressive.
They don't even have the desire to spend money.
This is quite normal. Even on the original Earth, those men who said they would bang their heads against the wall for Liu Yifei had basically never even bought her albums; at most, they contributed to the viewership ratings.
The same applies to this world. Because the responsibility of supporting the family falls on men, they tend to be more restrained in their spending on entertainment.
In addition, games and novels are also eyeing men's wallets, so entertainment stars basically have no chance.
Therefore, although Gu Yu is currently very popular and has the momentum of a top star, his commercial value is actually the lowest among top stars.
Furthermore, his popularity is constantly driven by Feiyang Company.
In contrast, Xia Muge was much more low-key.
He participated in two film crews and then acted in a TV series. Although he had relatively little exposure, it was just right.
Fans won't get impatient waiting, and passersby won't get annoyed by his frequent appearances.
Xia Muge's current status in the industry is only lacking awards to prove it.
Although various awards in the industry have their limitations, they are still a standard for recognizing talent.
"We will be attending a banquet tomorrow night. As the top star of Huayu, you will be attending with Su Feiyan."
Wang Feifei walked over and spoke to Xia Muge.
Xia Muge has attended quite a few of these kinds of banquets.
He smiled and said, "It is my honor to participate with Senior Su."
Su Feiyan is Huayu's top leading lady.
Of course, this actress currently has the idea of starting her own business.
During this period, Huayu had Su Feiyan mentor newcomers and try to capitalize on her popularity, which caused some unpleasantness between the two parties. However, in front of others, both sides still had to maintain a facade.
Su Feiyan smiled and said to Xia Muge, "Hello, little Xia."
"Little Kid" is the nickname she gave him.
Su Feiyan was once a popular young actress, but now she has become a screen queen.
Today, she is also a dominant force on the screen.
Xia Muge and Su Feiyan had acted together before, and he even gave his first kiss in this world during that time.
Xia Muge smiled and said, "Sister Su, let's go together."
"Um."
The two agreed to go together to choose formal wear. This was always a time for them to make connections and gain influence with powerful figures.
Of course, there are a lot of people using facial recognition, and whether you can be remembered by a big shot depends on some luck.
However, Xia Muge basically didn't care who it was.
He doesn't really intend to stay in this industry forever.
"By the way, Sister Fei, do you have a list of people attending the banquet this time?"
Xia Muge asked Wang Feifei for the list.
Wang Feifei nodded: "I can't reveal the specific list, but I can only say that your rivals are not on it."
Xia Muge has many rivals.
After all, his face has brought him a lot of benefits, causing some idols to regretfully step aside.
He was deeply resentful of many idol parties.
Of course, it's not just idol groups that are hated to the core.
The entertainment industry is a zero-sum game. The audience is limited, and most of it is taken up by games and videos. Now, even that small portion has to deal with Xia Muge, this freak.
It's fair to say that Xia Muge can find people who dislike him anywhere in the circle.
That's how it is when someone becomes famous – they attract a lot of trouble.
However, with Huayu backing him, no one is currently trying to trip him up.
...
The banquet was held in a high-end hotel in Hainan.
Hainan is relatively close to Hong Kong and Macau, but relatively far from the central government.
It's a more relaxed place, and many celebrities gather here, drinking and socializing.
Xia Muge took Su Feiyan's arm and led her into the inner area.
The two were a handsome couple, attracting a lot of attention from photographers.
Zhao Sichun also came.
She came to the inner area alone, without a male companion, her bright red dress radiating a striking and flamboyant presence.
She was originally Xia Muge's date, but the company arranged for Su Feiyan to take her place, so she naturally couldn't compete.
Fortunately, during this time, Su Feiyan insisted on leaving, and the company correspondingly allocated some resources to Zhao Sichun.
However, compared to Zhao Sichun, the company actually values another girl named Liu Yan more.
This girl is only seventeen years old, but she already has a touch of nobility in her eyes and brows. Her features are exquisite, and she has unlimited potential for the future.
She hasn't taken on many activities yet, but has been trained by many teachers. Huayu believes that Liu Yan will succeed Su Feiyan in her position.
Zhao Sichun is just a transitional figure.
Zhao Sichun felt somewhat regretful about the company's actions.
Female celebrities have such a short shelf life; she's actually already twenty-three years old this year.
In other industries, twenty-three is still considered young.
However, there are too many beautiful and young girls in the entertainment industry.
Everyone longs to achieve instant success, even at the cost of everything.
Although she had some fans before, she didn't have any advantage in terms of age.
Unless an actress has her own resources or is exceptionally beautiful, it's easy for her to blend into the crowd.
Unfortunately, Zhao Sichun lacks resources; she is pretty but not stunningly beautiful.
She sat quietly in the corner, watching Xia Muge and Su Feiyan sitting in the front row.
Just then, someone else arrived.
It's Gu Yu.
Gu Yu is currently riding high on success.
Under the management of Feiyang Entertainment, he is currently very popular, with three variety shows and two film crews. He is busy every day, but the high-intensity exposure brings high traffic.
Although it's unclear how much money Gu Yu has made for Feiyang Entertainment, he seems to be financially secure now.
However, Xia Muge looked at Gu Yu with surprise in her eyes.
Because he noticed that Gu Yu's eyes were tired and his body was weak.
Clearly, he's pursuing another woman.
During this time, he did not receive any news from Gu Yu, but Gu Yu frequently wrote songs for others, so where did the songs come from?
"Long time no see, Xia Muge."
Just as Xia Muge was pondering, Gu Yu walked over and greeted him in a sinister manner.
The protagonist actually looks more like a villain than the villain himself.
Xia Muge smiled brightly: "It really has been a long time."
