Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

Chapter 129 The "Chinese Rap of China" team betrays Kiwi

During the filming of "Day and Night," another major event occurred in the entertainment industry.

Bai Baihe was photographed in Thailand interacting intimately with male model Zhang Peng, sparking rumors of her infidelity.

This immediately sparked heated discussions online, and Bai Baihe's career was completely ruined.

Bai Baihe has basically secured her position as the box office queen.

She rose to fame with "Love is Not Blind" and later starred in "Monster Hunt" which grossed 24.29 billion yuan. She also starred in several other excellent films such as "Go Away Mr. Tumor" and became a 60 billion yuan box office queen.

Based on her career trajectory, she was poised for even more opportunities, given her outstanding image and acting skills, which garnered widespread recognition from audiences.

After the "one-finger Zen" incident, Bai Baihe lost all her commercial endorsements overnight, her roles in the movies she had already agreed to were replaced, and all her variety show invitations were canceled.

Online, she has been directly accused of being a modern-day Pan Jinlian, and is considered to be on par with Ma Rong not long ago!

This incident also sparked heated discussions within the "Day and Night" production team.

Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong were also gossiping.

"It seems that the professional ethics of artists are still very important. Otherwise, a box office queen who has worked so hard to become could be plunged into the abyss like this."

"Originally, her career was going to flourish and she would be making a fortune. It's such a pity."

"However, looking at Yu Fan's ugly face, it's really hard to understand why Bai Bai would fall for a man like that."

As soon as she said this, Yang Chaoyue immediately made a shushing gesture to Zhou Jieqiong.

Zhou Jieqiong immediately understood; the male lead of this drama, Pan Yueming, had just gone through something like this.

Dong Jie did not have an affair with Wang Daniao, who is extremely ugly.

Therefore, many times, the thought processes of some women are truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, there are too many such things in the entertainment industry, making it difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

"Boss, what's your opinion on Bai Baihe's cheating scandal?"

Zhou Jieqiong has become quite familiar with Tang Lou during this time, and she even created a small group chat with Tang Lou and Yang Chaoyue.

I saw the gossip news that two people in the group forwarded, as well as Zhou Jieqiong's question.

Tang Lou also sighed. This matter had caused a great uproar in his previous life. At the beginning, during the "One Finger Zen" incident, Bai Baihe was really criticized severely. Later, Yu Fan admitted that they had divorced, which relieved Bai Baihe of the public pressure.

However, their concealment of their divorce still made netizens very unhappy.

Bai Baihe's image has already collapsed, so even normal interactions after the divorce are still of no use.

Speaking of this year's cheating scandals, Bai Baihe was just the appetizer. There was an even more explosive one later on: the hair-doing incident between Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang.

During a live stream, Jia Nailiang claimed that Li Xiaolu had gone to get her hair done, but in reality, she was photographed spending the night at PG One's house.

PG One even wrote a Christmas reindeer song, making the whole thing incredibly ironic. Jia Nailiang also became one of the cuckolds, on par with Wang Baoqiang.

Tang Lou, after some reflection, shared his thoughts in the WeChat group:

"Bai Baihe's career is basically over, and she'll likely have few more opportunities in the future. As for her and Yu Fan, it's highly likely that they secretly divorced long ago and are now living separate lives."

In the entertainment industry, many couples conceal their divorce in order to protect their reputation and image, and continue to make money together as business partners under the guise of a marital relationship.

However, Yu Fan and Bai Baihe were photographed by paparazzi.

In fact, Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei were in the same situation; they also secretly divorced and went their separate ways.

Following Liu Kaiwei and Wang Ou's "script reading in the dark," Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei have also publicly announced their divorce.

Tang Lou's takeaway from this experience is that he should not get married or formally establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Just keep a low profile and protect yourself privately.

Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong both seemed to understand Tang Lou's opinion.

While "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2", "Rock & Roast", and "Day and Night" were airing simultaneously in the Tanglou area.

Other platforms aren't so easy to navigate.

Especially Kiwi Films, which was completely overwhelmed by Cool Cat led by Tang Lou, has just held a project approval meeting for a new variety show.

Based on the original development momentum, the platform's strategic direction, and Gong Yu's personal vision and ambition, this brand-new variety show, "The Rap of China," was bound to be approved and prioritized.

However, the current revenue of kiwifruit is weak, and there are fewer and fewer sponsors and GG merchants. This variety show, which has an investment of at least 2 million yuan, is really under a lot of pressure to produce.

Moreover, this is a music program, and the show "The Big Band" on Kugou Music has already spoiled the audience's tastes and standards.

Now that Kiwifruit has launched a music variety show, will it become a stepping stone for Coolcat, just like Tencent Video's "Scream King"?

Compared to Tencent Video, Kiwi's funds are extremely limited. This investment project, worth over 200 million yuan, absolutely cannot afford to fail.

Therefore, Gong Yu was in a very difficult position.

This discussion brought together all the elite talents from Kiwi's variety show production department.

First of all, this program was jointly promoted by Chen Wei, the vice president of Kiwi Fruit and a gold-medal producer, and Che Zhe, the general director of the "Masked Singer" series.

Chen Wei was very confident in his project proposal.

"Mr. Gong, this project does indeed require a very large investment, but we are absolutely confident that we can make it a hit variety show. This program will definitely allow us to break through the pressure from Tencent Video and Youku Video, and prove our variety show production capabilities at Kiwi Video once again."

Che Zhe was equally confident: "President Gong, if you can make variety shows like stand-up comedy and band culture successful, there's no reason why our hip-hop shows can't succeed."

"Hip-hop rap is definitely a style that young people love. It's cool, stylish, and unique."

Che Zhe has produced many high-quality variety shows and can be considered a top-notch producer.

With the strong encouragement of Che Zhe and Chen Wei, Gong Yu really wanted to do this program.

However, considering the platform's current financial situation and its future strategy of austerity, Gong Yu ultimately chose to suspend the project.

"Chen Wei, Che Zhe, unless you can keep the production budget below 50 million, which is the current budget limit for variety shows that our platform can accept."

Gong Yu really didn't dare to gamble. What if he invested 200 million yuan, and when it was launched, KuMei also released a variety show to compete with it? Wouldn't that mean repeating the same mistake?

The kiwifruit industry is already severely damaged and cannot withstand repeated failures.

Chen Wei and Che Zhe were very disappointed with Gong Yu's decision.

With less than 50 million, how could they possibly produce the show they envisioned, "The Rap of China"?

Chen Wei is very disappointed that neither Kiwifruit nor Gong Yu now have the guts to gamble on a variety show worth 200 million yuan.

"The Rap of China" is a project he has been planning for a long time and is determined to do.

If the kiwi fruit project is successfully developed, then he and Che Zhe will set up a studio together, take the project proposal to other platforms, and seek investment to produce the program.

Of course, to achieve this goal, they could only bid farewell to kiwifruit with tears in their eyes.

A good bird chooses its tree to perch on; the kiwifruit and gongyu fruit have lost their original appeal.
