In Hua Country, male celebrities undoubtedly hold a significantly higher status than female celebrities, which can be easily inferred from box office takings and international influence.
The simplest fact, among the top ten highest-grossing actors, nine are male, with only one top-tier female celebrity whose box office reached 9.7 billion, ranking eighth in Hua Country.
If we speak of the domestic situation, where the number of clearly top-tier male and female celebrities are roughly balanced, hovering around seventy or eighty each, the disparity becomes quite apparent when looking at international superstars.
Among male celebrities, at least seven or eight have international influence, including Wang Guangju who has won an Academy Award, and gods of song like Dong Jianhua who have received Grammy Awards!
When it comes to internationally renowned actresses, indeed, there was a time, two or three decades ago, when there was a group of women who reached this level. However, as time went by and they aged, these once incredibly popular top-tier actresses almost all retired. On the other hand, for male celebrities, it can be said that the older they get, the more valuable they become. There are several like Wang Guangju, almost fifty, yet known as the ageless male god, which has resulted in a current Hua Country entertainment industry full of numerous male superstars internationally, while the number of world-class female celebrities is solely represented by the newly risen Ding Xiaoni.
Among many top male artists, there are also some who rose to stardom based on their looks, flow superstars who, despite mediocre acting skills, have managed to become momentarily popular by leveraging their extremely high attractiveness and back-end team operations. Even compared to these actors valued for their looks, Wang Guangju, with his 99-point attractiveness, is hailed as the epitome of male human beauty.
...
In entertainment, there are quite a few female celebrities with 99-point attractiveness, such as the newly emerging Ding Qian, who has been called the strongest trainee right from her debut, and who, with the strong promotion from Shi Yuan Entertainment and her intense beauty, climbed to the super top-tier superstar level in just over a year.
Besides Ding Qian, others with 99-point attractiveness include Shi Yuan Entertainment’s former top sister Lin Wanqiu and the super top-tier female star Zhao Ling’er, known as the fairy sister, among others.
In the entertainment industry, there are at least five female celebrities whose beauty is rated 99 points, but among male celebrities, only the ageless male god Wang Guangju has such a high rating.
Moreover, even when compared to the so-called Four Heavenly Kings, their looks still fall short of Wang Guangju’s.
Wang Guangju, known as the pinnacle of male beauty, commands over a billion loyal fans worldwide, ranking as Hua Country’s box office champion with 30 billion in ticket sales. In addition, he has released dozens of songs that have become classics, and Wang Guangju, the uncrowned king, single-handedly carries the weight of the whole Tianhua Entertainment on his shoulders. It’s no exaggeration to say that half of Tianhua Entertainment’s 85-billion fortune and its swift rise from a small company to the fourth-ranked powerhouse in the entertainment industry within just over a decade are attributable to Wang Guangju alone.
If someone had suggested before to poach Wang Guangju from Tianhua Entertainment, Tian Yong, the chairman, would certainly have fought tooth and nail against it, even to the point of mutual destruction. That’s because Tian Yong knows all too well that Tianhua Entertainment could survive without him as chairman but absolutely not without Wang Guangju. Once Wang Guangju leaves, the whole company would rapidly decline and might even verge on bankruptcy.
Thus, before now, Tian Yong had never even contemplated letting go of Wang Guangju, his cash cow, not even entertaining the thought.
However, at this moment, here at the sports center in Magic City, as Wang Guangju earnestly and passionately performed onstage, Tian Yong’s mind was racing, his heart seemingly about to leap out of his throat.
Right now, next to him, Mr. Chu from Magic City, representing the most powerful company in the entertainment industry, Shi Yuan Entertainment, was proposing a trade for Wang Guangju. Of course, the offer was not an overbearing demand, but rather a generous pitch.
The proposed package included superstar Wang Tuo, among the latest top-line male celebrities, three super top-tier celebrities in total, plus an investment of 15 billion, and even an invitation to join the Longevity Club!
These were their complete terms, and in that moment, Tian Yong did not instantly refuse. Not solely due to his fear of the proposer’s power or the repercussions of declining their offer, but because the terms were genuinely enticing; Tian Yong was truly tempted.
Although Wang Guangju is an international superstar, a pillar of Tianhua Entertainment, trading him for three super top-tier celebrities wasn’t out of the question. With the additional 15 billion investment, Tianhua Entertainment would enter a rapid development phase, eventually breaching the 100-billion valuation mark, thus propelling Tianhua Entertainment into the top three of the entertainment industry.
Tian Yong knew that the entertainment industry was undergoing a major reshuffle. As Shi Yuan Entertainment continued to expand, the top resources of the industry were being gobbled up. If he chose to stand still instead of progressing, it would amount to regressing.
