unless a hundred-ton monster or a special assault team showed up, they couldn’t kill him in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This even led to a minor trend among some Beijing-based Weibo users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go for a stroll along Zhichun Road where Weibo is headquartered or Dong Sanhuan where Yi’an is located, and see if you can “accidentally” spot Yan Li’s car, then take a photo and post it on Weibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li always knew many people were idle, but he hadn’t expected them to be this idle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Yan Li’s trending topic gave Maybach a slight breakout, making many people who knew nothing about cars aware of the name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mention “Yan Li’s same model” and “worth tens of millions,” and everyone instantly understood its value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens joked that this year’s best car advertisement and tagline were from “The Snail House” and Song Siming’s line: “Men with backbone all want a Land Rover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best spokesperson is Yan Li—he single-handedly turned Maybach into the ultimate symbol of luxury cars in countless hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Yan Li seriously consider asking Maybach for advertising fees—if not, at least give him two new cars for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Li truly dared not ask—he feared Maybach might actually give them to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not exaggerating—Fan Xiaopang even called him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car brand in “Du Lala’s Promotion” had approached her to discuss having Yan Li make a cameo driving their car—base fee 2 million, close-ups extra 1 million, and if he delivered related lines, another 2 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because the brand was mid-range—if it were a luxury car brand, they’d gladly spend tens of millions on product placement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time, luxury brands assign value to people, but Yan Li’s level of status and influence can assign value to luxury brands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In June, the White Magnolia Awards were held in Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Infiltration” achieved huge success; lead actors Sun Honglei and Jiang Xin both won Best Actor and Best Actress, along with the Golden Award for Best TV Series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Chao from “The Righteous Path of Humanity” won Most Popular Male Actor, and screenwriter Jiang Qitao won Best Screenwriter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, another major contender, “My Commander My Regiment,” won only the Audience Most Watched Award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stark contrast in outcomes was called a major blow to Huayi, further seizing discourse power in the Chinese-language film and TV industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was overstated—it was just the White Magnolia Awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Huayi never held discourse power in Chinese-language awards; otherwise, Feng Kuzi wouldn’t have been screaming in rage two years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Commander My Regiment” lost for reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its style was unappealing on one hand—it had high critical praise but lacked sufficient public support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Infiltration” and “The Righteous Path of Humanity” were not only popular but also received high public ratings, with almost no obvious flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Commander My Regiment” was surrounded by controversy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who liked it loved it; those who didn’t thought it was preachy, slow-paced, and overly theatrical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, although “My Commander My Regiment” had no biased agenda, in this special year of tribute productions, it certainly didn’t gain any advantage compared to dramas centered on the CCP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there was Yi’an’s backing and support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of awards, Yi’an hadn’t previously placed much emphasis on them, and their productions leaned commercial; now, aiming to become the industry leader, they naturally had to ramp up efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, Yi’an even established a dedicated PR team to leverage its multiple high-quality productions and shine brightly across major awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Magnolia Awards were just one of them—they had plans for the Feitian and Golden Eagle Awards, had already secured the Hundred Flowers Award for film, and were now targeting the Huabiao and Golden Horse Awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the above were only top-tier awards; lower-tier ones weren’t even worth mentioning—they were taking every award they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Honglei was fine—he’d won a White Magnolia before—but Jiang Xin was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Magnolia Best Actress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its value now didn’t surpass the Golden Eagle or Feitian, it was still a Best Actress title—one of the highest honors in television, the dream of countless actresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, since “Infiltration” premiered, Jiang Xin felt she was living a dream so intoxicating she couldn’t wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drama exploded in popularity, her fame skyrocketed, and she instantly became a top-tier star; soon after, she signed with Yi’an, and in just over a month, her endorsement, commercial, and advertising deals exceeded double digits—she was making piles of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the rush of fame and fortune had even settled, another White Magnolia Best Actress trophy was placed in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weibo was already buzzing, dubbing her the first 80s-born White Magnolia Best Actress and the youngest ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Sun Li not won the Golden Eagle Best Actress back in 2004 for “Jade Guanyin,” Jiang Xin’s titles could’ve been even richer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, at just 26, Jiang Xin’s win was worthy of major celebration—Hairen and Yi’an both intended to mold her into a powerhouse leading actress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years in the industry, Jiang Xin finally experienced what it meant to be super-famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the other Seven Fairies benefited from the buzz—someone noticed that among the Seven Fairies, only Yang Xue had interacted to congratulate Jiang Xin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-acknowledged rift among the Seven Fairies had another concrete piece of evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after the incident trended on hot search, only Li Bingbing and Li Lin spoke up—Fan Xiaopang, Dong Xuan, and Hu Siyan remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, a reporter visited the set of “The Beauty’s Scheme” and interviewed Hu Siyan on the matter; the latter claimed she’d sent a text message to wish Jiang Xin well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, in a Weibo exclusive interview, Jiang Xin revealed that Fan Xiaopang and Dong Xuan had both sent her congratulatory texts—but she never received Hu Siyan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Siyan nearly exploded—people have dignity, we’re all civilized—don’t you understand the rules?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was forced to post another Weibo congratulating Jiang Xin and try to save face in the comments, claiming she might’ve sent it to the wrong number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens concluded: if she hadn’t sent it, their relationship was clearly bad; if she sent it to the wrong number, it meant they had no private contact—not even each other’s phone numbers saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Siyan: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li found the whole thing curious; after Jiang Xin returned to Beijing, he specifically asked her about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Dong Xuan and Bingbing really send you congratulatory texts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both now knew Jiang Xin had a relationship with him; based on their personalities, he doubted they’d be that generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Jiang Xin shook her head: “Neither sent one—I made it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why only expose Hu Siyan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin blinked: “Those two I can’t afford to provoke—this one I can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You say this woman is shrewd—she starts stirring trouble right after becoming famous; you say she’s not shrewd—yet she knows to pick the softest targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin pressed on: “Did that Hu woman come to you complaining? Don’t you dare take her side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li had no interest in meddling in their womanly squabbles, but he still warned her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re alone; they’ve got a whole team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Siyan was easy to provoke, but the Teddy Sisters’ group wasn’t—no matter how fake their internal bonds, they stuck together against outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Hu Siyan not made herself look foolish, the Teddy Sisters might’ve already launched an attack; even now, with Jiang Xin’s rising popularity, one tiger still couldn’t fight off a pack of wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If she dares attack me, I’ll go to Xuan-jie and surrender—I don’t believe Xuan-jie won’t pull me out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their relationship had cooled over the past two years, their old bond still existed—if Jiang Xin truly begged, Dong Xuan might not stand idly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s ancient history. Before, Dong Xuan helped you because of Qin Lan; now, she might join in cleaning house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li’s circle of women all had some connection with each other; after Jiang Xin and Dong Xuan grew distant, Jiang Xin was one of the few completely outside the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qin-Dong alliance, including Wang Ou and others, had vague awareness of this—but Jiang Xin still thought they were at odds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Qin Lan, who fought shoulder to shoulder with her, Dong Xuan might not help Jiang Xin—someone who’d betrayed her—and might even join in to vent her anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll go to Bingbing-jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin realized her mistake—she even rarely added “jie” when referring to Fan Xiaopang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Li cruelly shattered her illusion: “You forgot how they treated you during ‘The Legend of Yang Yuhuan’—why would she even acknowledge you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xiaopang wouldn’t take a woman of Yan Li’s as a little sister—she’d have done it long ago, especially since their relationship had always been bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin did the math—damn, she’d offended all three giants; she had almost no place left to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um... is Wang Ou from your company easy to get along with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin turned her thoughts to Wang Ou—though Yan Li had never confirmed it, the industry widely accepted her as his woman; Jiang Xin had even heard rumors that Wang Ou held a prominent position at Yi’an and was highly valued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no personal connection or conflict with Wang Ou—perhaps they should reach out, form an alliance for self-preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li gave her a strange look—one had a violent temper, the other wasn’t gentle either; if they clashed, they’d definitely fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relying on others isn’t real strength—you’re famous now, you have leverage; the right path is to build your own team and stand alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li believed Jiang Xin and Wang Ou would never get along—neither was willing to take a back seat; Wang Ou was the leader of their little circle, and Jiang Xin would never accept being second-in-command—so the best solution was to go independent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin spat out, pointing at Yan Li: “Are you still thinking about Li Lin? Afraid to let Fan know, you’ve got her here, and Yang Xue—of the Seven Fairies, she’s the only one you haven’t gotten, and you want me to help you complete your collection?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this? Is he really like that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I meant you should make some friends, form a small team—where did you get that idea? And...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li suddenly narrowed his eyes at Jiang Xin: “I remember last time Yang Xue came to me and said something strange, all jumbled up—I was busy then and didn’t think much, but now you’ve reminded me—did you say something to her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin, who had just been furious, instantly deflated—how was this bastard so sharp? One sentence and he connected the dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Yan Li reacted quickly—he’d been informed by his intelligence network; at the time, he’d thought it wasn’t serious and planned to settle accounts later, and now it had resurfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell the truth—if I suspect anything, I’ll call Yang Xue right now; if your story doesn’t match, you’re in trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li watched Jiang Xin fidgeting and darting her eyes, knowing she was fabricating excuses, and immediately pressed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Xin grew quiet: “I was just curious about your relationship, so I asked her—nothing more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t mention Li Lin either? That day Yang Xue brought her up to me— if you didn’t say anything, why would she mention Li Lin out of nowhere?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li pressed further; Jiang Xin hesitated, then admitted with a guilty look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only mentioned it twice, didn’t reveal much—could she have figured it out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mouth? Don’t call you Jiang Xin—call you Jiang Loudspeaker.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xue had indeed figured it out. Jiang Xin had asked her whether she was the only one of the Seven Fairies who had no connection to Yan Li—of course Yang Xue would guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Xue wasn’t like Jiang Xin; she kept her mouth shut tight, telling no one—not even Yan Li. Just now, Yan Li had been bluffing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casting Jiang Xin as Cui Ping in “Infiltration” was pure typecasting—no, even Cui Ping had more discretion than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin knew she’d messed up and came over to massage his shoulders and rub his back apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll talk to Yang Xue—she won’t blab.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not worried about Yang Xue—I’m worried you’ll spill it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li scoffed, then grew serious: “My reputation’s already trash—what does it matter? She’s divorced and single. Even if it got out, it’d just be another rumor, maybe make Bing Bing throw a fit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t care—but Li Lin might not handle the gossip. She’s starting a new life. Raising a child alone is hard enough—don’t make it worse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xin muttered under her breath: “You knew she was raising a kid, yet you still won’t let it go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li laughed bitterly. This woman had been famous for barely a few days and was already getting arrogant—give her an inch and she’d take a mile. She needed a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Yan Li picked her up and carried her inside, to properly teach her how to keep her mouth shut…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Yan Li was kicked out by Jiang Xin. She could accept being punished, but this bastard had dirtied her White Magnolia Award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li felt wronged—he hadn’t touched it; she’d brought it in herself as a prop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, after a good chat with the newly minted White Magnolia TV Queen, Yan Li was in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Bingbing had won the Hundred Flowers Best Actress twice and the Huabiao Best Actress once. Jiang Xin now added a White Magnolia TV Queen. Let other women work harder—maybe Yan Boss could complete a full sweep of Chinese film and TV queen titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li figured he’d never win a Best Actor award in his life, so he’d soothe his wounded soul with these Best Actress and TV Queen titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His good mood lasted until afternoon, when he attended the signing ceremony for Sun Li and Hu Ge with Yi’an (film and commercial contracts), and a reporter asked him a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you view being called one of Beijing’s Four Young Lords?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li was stunned: “Am I one of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this year, media outlets had begun promoting the so-called “Beijing Four Young Lords,” with Weibo acting as one of the behind-the-scenes promoters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combination of second-generation rich and female stars drew the most attention, so the media hyped it relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the “Beijing Four Young Lords” label hadn’t solidified yet—there were multiple versions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most popular version was the Weibo version: the four Yan Li had originally intended to promote—Wang Dashao, Wang Ke, Wang Le, and Wang Xiaofei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dashao had enough clout and a stellar record: he’d made headlines with two generations of Little Swallows, and this year, after his current girlfriend’s death, he attended her funeral as her boyfriend—perfectly crafted persona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Le was known for spending lavishly: he had a celebrity stepmother, rumors with female stars like Niu Mengmeng, frequent contact with Fang Zuoming, son of Cheng Long, and this April he was exposed for cohabiting with Prince Zhou—his fame skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, Wang Ke and Wang Xiaofei had lesser status, but one was married to Liu Tao, the other dating the starlet Zhang Yuqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, both were extremely active on Weibo; Weibo, chasing traffic, gave them extra exposure, helping them form the “Beijing Four Young Lords” alongside the first two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this most famous version, there were other candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They still mostly had ties to the entertainment circle, but weren’t limited to Beijing—for instance, the Hong Kong Ho family member, the boastful powerhouse Yang Dashao, Hu Jing’s Malaysian businessman husband, Xiao S’s husband, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li never expected to get dragged into it—he was both amused and annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, my parents run a small-town restaurant. My family’s standard poor peasant stock—I don’t deserve the title ‘Young Lord.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li’s reply wasn’t polite—he was genuinely annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of those people relied on their fathers or brothers. He’d built everything from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even their parents might be his peers—or even lower in status. To lump him in with them was to forcibly turn him from an entrepreneur into a playboy—equivalent to an insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After replying, Yan Li ignored the media and went to speak with Sun Li and Hu Ge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After “Infiltration” became a hit, Yi’an signed Sun Honglei and Jiang Xin under a split-contract model and now wanted to expand further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They contacted many stars—progress was mixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some artists refused—they didn’t want to leave. Nie Yuan, for instance, felt comfortable at Ciwen and had little interest in moving into film—he didn’t want the hassle, so he declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were blocked by their companies. For example, Tong Dawei: unlike Hai Run, which had grown complacent and focused on TV, Orange Sky, after acquiring Shaw Brothers, still had ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, Orange Sky would never allow its top star to sign with Yi’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, as an industry leader, Orange Sky still had some film and commercial resources that could satisfy the artist’s needs—so they ultimately held onto Tong Dawei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Li understood. Everyone had their own path and their own struggles. He’d prepared for this—he didn’t force anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some refused, but others were willing to cooperate—Sun Li and Hu Ge were prime examples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Run had already let go of Jiang Xin; letting go of Sun Li wasn’t a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t refuse anyway. Sun Li was married to Deng Chao and knew Yi’an’s strength better than anyone—Hai Run couldn’t compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Hai Run refused to release her, Sun Li might actually leave—and Yi’an was ready to sign her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Sun Li was close to Fan Xiaopang, who approved of her signing with Yi’an, this resolved internal issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sun Li had Deng Chao—internal support, plus a power couple that could bring Yi’an more benefits—a major plus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Run was now eyeing an IPO and couldn’t afford to lose a pillar like Sun Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting her and Jiang Xin sign split contracts with Yi’an was a compromise to keep them from leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Hai Run made this concession, Tang Ren had even less reason to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>",3221,"2026-06-19T16:16:54.562Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d019a58019f2fc106c06263597183459c0f1f7c0447dcc5a0a13341634fcf805","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-360","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-358",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-cover.jpg"]
