Affected by the drama of the entertainment industry this time, "Wandering Planet" and "The Ferryman" have also created a miracle.

Even though the New Year's holiday had ended, and even the first holiday after the New Year had passed, the box office for both films didn't decrease much and continued to be as hot as when they were released.

The previous weekend, "The Ferryman" had a box office of only 5 million, yet on weekdays, it still maintained around 300-400 million.

If "The Ferryman" had such an "impressive" performance, it goes without saying for "Wandering Planet."

Because of its reputation and quality, "Wandering Planet" maintained high box office numbers on weekdays. 310 million on Monday, 280 million on Tuesday, 300 million on Wednesday...

Such figures simply don't resemble the curve a normal movie should have.

There were some who doubted whether Chen Yan and Lu Man were inflating the box office, but when they actually went to see the attendance at the cinemas and the endless stream of audiences who only watched "Wandering Planet," everyone had to admit: perhaps such exaggerated box office figures were true...

Such profound social impact gave a significant boost to the box office of "Wandering Planet."

Even after two weeks, the daily box office of "Wandering Planet" could still rake in about a hundred million.

Keep in mind, in the span of one month, the film's box office had reached a staggering 4.6 billion!

It surpassed "Medicine God" to become the highest-grossing film in domestic movie history!

Thus, the first and second crowns of the domestic box office history both went to Chenlu Film Company.

Moreover, because these two films' achievements were so extraordinary, the third place couldn't even reach half of their success...

Furthermore, with the collapse of Xu Brothers Film Company and the downfall of many first and second-tier celebrities, Chenlu Film Company's glory in the film and entertainment circles was unmatched for a time.

Many insiders who had witnessed the fall of Xu Brothers Film Company and the rise of Chenlu Film Company chatted in small groups with a sense of the times changing and the landscape transforming,

"Xu Brothers just ended like that? I really don't know how to describe my feelings. Do you guys feel the same?"

"Yes. After all, they were a dominant company in our circle for so many years, saying it's over, it just feels like a joke."

"Right. Not just the Xu Brothers, there are also Sister Tao, Sister Zhang, Brother Xu... they all just ended like that. I haven't even come to grips with it, and suddenly I look up and find that the world has changed..."

"Indeed. So many big shots just fell like that. Chenlu Film Company is just too ruthless."

Aside from discussing the fall of Xu Brothers, people were also concerned about the current situation in the circle,

"Do you think the circle will now be dominated by Chenlu Film Company alone?"

"It shouldn't be... They're mainly a production company. Aren't celebrities the most important in our circle? So far they only have Sister Man as their top-tier and Zhao Xiaogu as their almost top-tier celebrity, without a core strength or other top headliners, how can they dominate alone?"

Some agreed, "Yes. I think, with Xu Brothers and Brother Xu, Sister Zhang and others' problems, this is actually our chance. Many film projects and variety shows must be lacking people, this is an opportunity."

"That makes sense... Looking at it this way, is Chenlu Film Company actually paving the way for us?"

Many in these small groups discovered this "opportunity."

After all, no one was blind.

So many first and second-tier celebrities were being investigated and forbidden from working.

Then, the work they left behind inevitably became opportunities for others.

Yet how could Chen Yan and Yang Rou let such hard-earned opportunities slip away to others?

Thus, while everyone in the circle had their own schemes, wanting to take advantage of the situation,

Riding on "Wandering Planet" breaking the 4.6 billion mark and reaching the top of the domestic box office, the figurehead of Chenlu Film Company, the strongwoman Lu Man, posted on her Weibo the poster of "Wandering Planet" as the top of the movie box office!

Moreover, she even retweeted her original Weibo post predicting that "Wandering Planet" would surpass "Medicine God"!

It goes without saying that this blatant display of confidence really excited many of Lu Man's fans and the general public.

Originally, when "Lu Man posted on Weibo," claiming that "Wandering Planet" was a masterpiece comparable to "Medicine God," no one took it seriously.

Most people thought that "Medicine God" was a one-off miracle.

And miracles don't happen again!

Many felt that Lu Man was being overconfident, so they mocked and ridiculed her in various ways.

But now, Lu Man had turned everything around!

She proved all the doubters wrong with strength and integrity: You think it was a miracle because you don't have what it takes. But Sister does!

At this moment, whether it was those who had doubted Lu Man or those who liked her, none had anything to say.

And taking advantage of the attention drawn again, Lu Man made another Weibo post.

[Considering I was right last time, I'll make another prediction. Chenlu Film Company is about to launch a talent show soon. I'll be the initiator and mentor.]

[I think this show will be a huge hit, and it will produce many top-tier celebrities!]

Over the last three or four years at Chenlu Film Company, Lu Man's public image had actually been evolving, or more accurately, fine-tuning.

From initially being known for her beauty and elegance, to being gradually labeled as a strong businesswoman.

And to achieve Lu Man's goal of "living without a mask," Mei Li Sister kept adding tags such as straightforwardness, domineering and a bit of an uncovered clown to her image.

Because this transformation was gradual, netizens didn't notice it. Moreover, they gradually accepted Lu Man's "arrogant and domineering" strongwoman persona.

So even though Lu Man's Weibo post seemed a bit exaggerated, people didn't see a problem with it. Instead, because she had "predicted" correctly a few times before, they began to look forward to this variety show and started heatedly discussing what kind of show it could be that Lu Man was endorsing so much!

While the netizens were fervently discussing it, Chenlu Film's official account added fuel to the fire.

The official account retweeted Lu Man's post and corrected her,

[Sister Man, you got it wrong. We're not launching just one variety show, but two. We've done one for male and one for female talents. The female's is called "Creation Camp" and the male's is called "Tomorrow's Star."]

At first, everyone was engaged in lively discussion, but then they saw Lu Man getting "smacked" by the official account and everyone gathered around to enjoy the drama.

But then, who would have known, Lu Man actually retweeted the official account's post and commented, [Your chicken leg for tomorrow's lunch is gone.]

The back and forth banter between the celebrity and the official account, this novel way of promotion, instantly attracted a lot of attention and led everyone to retweet, take screenshots and share with friends.

And with all the chatter, the names of the two talent shows also gradually became known to the public...

........

Meanwhile, on Qin Island,

In Lu Man's villa,

Lu Man was wearing a fluffy, one-piece, green dinosaur pajama suit, curled up on the couch scrolling through Weibo.

Her dinosaur pajama suit was very well-made, not only wrapping Lu Man snugly inside, but also featuring a long tail and a big head.

Lu Man, originally a vision of beauty, gained a silly cute charm in this outfit.

However, it kept prompting Chen Yan, who was sitting next to her, to tease her.

He would occasionally tug on her tail or her head.

Which annoyed Lu Man enough to occasionally hit him with her thick "paws" to make him back off.

But probably because the fluffy paws didn't hurt when hitting someone, despite Chen Yan pretending to be in pain, he never seemed to stop.

After playing around for a while, Lu Man "roared" and pinned Chen Yan down on the couch, straddling him to stop his shenanigans.

Lying on top of Chen Yan, Lu Man wiggled a bit to find a comfortable position, then asked, "Chen Yan, do you really think it was okay for me to post that?"

Chen Yan, while sneakily reaching for her tail again, responded, "Are you doubting me?"

"Just think about it. The last time I helped you post on Weibo, didn't it prove that I have foresight?"

After hearing this, Lu Man waved his hand away again and pouted, "That's true."

"But, I always feel uncertain, worried that it won't meet expectations."

Chen Yan hugged her and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it."

"Not to mention anything else, just the girl from 'Creation Camp' and Mao Mao from 'Tomorrow's Star' alone guarantee that these two shows can't flop."

"And moreover..."

Chen Yan paused for a moment, "We're not putting all our eggs in one basket, are we?"

"Do you think Mei Li Sister has been idle during this time?"

"She has gone and signed many talented stars and actors."

Holding Lu Man, Chen Yan sat up straight and explained, "Now that the entertainment circle has been completely shattered by us, we must also seize this opportunity to re-establish the rules."

Curious, Lu Man asked, "What rules do you plan to establish?"

Chen Yan replied, "Separate actors from idols to give more opportunities to skilled actors. Let them become more well-known to audiences and allow viewers to see better performances."

"Celebrities can participate in dramas, but they have to learn from these skilled actors, and they must have acting skills to play leading roles."

"Also, I plan to elevate the status of screenwriters within the industry."

"Regardless of whether it's movies, TV dramas, or variety shows, content is actually the most important aspect. Our circle has developed somewhat unevenly in recent years, placing too much emphasis on celebrity effects while neglecting the core element of content."

"After professionalizing the actor's standards and coupling it with good content, our domestic films and TV dramas will also continue to thrive with high-quality productions."

As Chen Yan spoke of his ideas, his eyes were glowing, which left Lu Man, held in his arms, somewhat infatuated.

Actually... she didn't quite understand what Chen Yan was saying.

And she didn't have any grand ambitions to change an industry.

However... men look so handsome when they are serious!

So, she decided to support him wholeheartedly with both hands and feet!

After supporting him in her heart, Lu Man snuggled further into Chen Yan's arms and then asked worriedly, "By the way, Chen Yan. Do you think there won't be any problems with us making such a big deal out of this?"

"Although we won, I've seen in many groups in the circle that we're stirring up too much trouble, and it affects too many people, and it could likely backfire."

"After all, the official side doesn't just look at right and wrong, but also at the impact."

"In the eyes of outsiders, for our own personal interests, we're dragging an entire industry down, and our use of public opinion has been really over the top."

"Also, those top and second-tier stars have powerful supporters behind them, would they just easily concede?"

Upon hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then broke into a smile. He gently stroked her head and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Isn't everything still under my watch?"

"Just be at ease being the strong businesswoman, the superstar. Leave the rest to me, that's all."

Over the years, Lu Man had come a long way from the naive girl who knew nothing. She noticed the slight furrowing of Chen Yan's brows and knew there was something troubling this man, but he didn't want her to worry.

So, she didn't press further but instead snuggled closer into Chen Yan's embrace, hoping her warm body could provide him with more comfort.

She even actively tucked her "tail" into Chen Yan's hands.

This gesture made Chen Yan, who had just returned to his senses, somewhat amused and helpless.

But Lu Man was indeed becoming more perceptive.

These days, Chen Yan certainly was under a lot of pressure.

Because of the earthquake in the entertainment circle, not only He Ruifeng but also Zhao Xuan had called him countless times.

Although they didn't express their stance explicitly, they still conveyed a lot of precious information.

That was, many people above were very displeased with Chen Yan's actions this time, feeling that he made too much of a spectacle for personal gain, making public sentiment hard to control.

Even officially, some department personnel called Chen Yan, hinting that he should show restraint.

But Chen Yan had already cast the dice; telling him to hold back now was absurd.

So, his resolve was to first crush Xu Brothers and swallow up the entertainment circle before anything else.

With the meal already at his lips, how could he be scared off by other people's phone calls? What else would he be able to do in the future?

Therefore, despite succeeding in toppling Xu Brothers and the stars close to them, Chen Yan's enemies seemed to have grown in number.

Additionally, there was the Head of the Zhao Family, who had sat unflappable throughout the turmoil, and Chen Yan felt an even stronger sense of crisis...

Noticing the complexities in Chen Yan's mind, Lu Man looked up, cupped his face, and gently shook it.

Chen Yan, snapping back to reality, inadvertently looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Man said softly, "Chen Yan, I've been thinking, and I want to meet up with Sister Rou, He Mengxue, and Zhao Ying."

Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment.

You all know each other; why do you need to tell me about wanting to meet up?

But then it dawned on him, and he grasped what Lu Man meant by her words. His eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Lu Man...
