Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

"Plan? He's just a lecherous old man who only cares about picking up girls. What kind of plan does he have?"

Su Mingsheng was very unhappy.

I think my sister-in-law pays too much attention to that old pervert and overestimates him.

"shallow!"

Lin Wanqiu's voice had become somewhat serious.

"Given Mr. Zhao's status, position, age, and experience, do you think he would go to such lengths for a washed-up female celebrity, especially one who has been involved in scandals?"

"If Mr. Zhao really wants a woman, what kind of woman can't he find? For example, Jiang Yushi, who is by his side, would definitely rush to pounce on him if Mr. Zhao just nodded."

This time, Su Mingsheng did not refute.

Indeed, a man who can casually pull out a billion dollars will never lack women around him.

Moreover, Zhao Hong'an is not only rich, but also has a very mysterious background.

"Then what was he after? A billion! Even if you have money, you don't spend it like that, do you?" Su Mingsheng was still somewhat unconvinced.

"flower?"

Lin Wanqiu smiled faintly.

"Some people spend money simply to spend it. Others spend money in the hopes of earning back several times, even ten times, the amount."

Su Mingsheng was slightly taken aback.

"Sister-in-law, you don't really think that old man's investment in Song Ci's movie will make a profit, do you?"

"The film market hasn't been doing so well these past two years. Only 'Ne Zha 2' had a decent box office during the Spring Festival two years ago; have any others managed to break through?"

"This old man just throws out a billion, and that's just the first phase of investment... Could it be that he's planning to invest two billion?"

"Even if he recreates the legend of 'Ne Zha 2' and breaks box office records, the money he earns probably won't even reach two billion, right?"

"He's absolutely doomed to lose money. Haha."

Su Mingsheng's sarcasm was undisguised.

"You think you're doomed to lose money because your understanding hasn't reached that level."

Lin Wanqiu gave Su Mingsheng a dissatisfied look.

"I originally thought that Mr. Zhao invested in Song Ci's film production and helped her return to the entertainment industry in order to sleep with her."

"However, when I saw that he insisted on paying double the salary based on the peak period of Song Dynasty porcelain... I knew that I was being superficial. Mr. Zhao must have a long-term plan."

Su Mingsheng frowned.

"Giving high pay means you have a long-term plan? Sister-in-law, I don't quite understand?"

"That's right, you don't understand," Lin Wanqiu said. "Think about it, if a washed-up female celebrity who has been exposed for scandals were to suddenly receive a billion yuan investment from a powerful investor, allowing her to direct and star in a movie, do you think that would generate enough buzz?"

"What's more, Song Ci already has a following; she's just been quiet for the past two years because no one has offered her roles. Adding this topic to Song Ci's name will surely boost her popularity instantly, won't it? Isn't this drama already a hit before it even airs?"

Lin Wanqiu's eyes sparkled; the more she thought about it, the more she realized it made sense.

"Sister-in-law, are you overthinking it? Song Ci has been involved in scandals before."

Seeing Lin Wanqiu's admiring tone, Su Mingsheng felt even more envious.

"So what? Do you think this scandal is anything to a financial tycoon who can casually throw out ten figures to invest in a film?"

"Aren't there plenty of people who become famous online through controversy? Take Zhang Weiyi, for example. After her marriage to Dong Xuan was revealed, how badly was she attacked on variety shows?"

"Zhang Weiyi also received guidance from a master. The master didn't explain anything throughout the whole process, just let you criticize him without arguing back."

"Because he knows that when things are at their most critical, if you go against the consensus of the entire internet, you're just asking for trouble."

"Only after netizens have had enough of criticizing her, and even started to feel a little sorry for her, will some people start to jump out and defend Zhang Weiyi."

"At this time, Dong Xuan and Zhang Weiyi reappeared. Zhang Weiyi also changed her personal image, and suddenly went from being black to red."

"Zhang Weiyi was originally just an unknown stage actor, and Dong Xuan had been out of the spotlight for many years."

"But look how famous they became after this remarriage! The couple is on variety shows all the time, their schedules are packed, and Dong Xuan is overwhelmed with variety show offers."

"This is a perfect example of turning from black to red."

"Of course, the premise is that Dong Xuan and Zhang Weiyi don't actually have any solid dirt on them, they haven't done anything that violates public morality, and they have a lovely little daughter, which is a huge plus."

"Song Ci's situation is actually the same. She was exposed for a scandal, but everyone in the industry knows that it was a frame-up. It was because Song Ci was unwilling to bow down to the big shots and unwilling to be subjected to unspoken rules that she was ostracized by the industry."

"As long as a big shot like Zhao Hong'an is willing to support Song Ci, she can immediately clarify the situation."

"Song Ci was embroiled in a scandal at the height of her popularity. Although there was no conclusive evidence, it prevented her from getting any more roles and forced her to fade out of the entertainment industry."

"Fans have been cursing her for two years, which is long enough. They've vented their anger, and some people have even started to sympathize with her."

"At this point, her scandal was cleared up, and then a big investor invested a ten-figure sum to support her and make blockbuster films... What a huge gimmick! It would be hard not to become famous."

"I even suspect that Mr. Zhao drew inspiration from Dong Xuan and Zhang Weiyi's public relations incident."

Lin Wanqiu was quite moved.

The more she analyzed it, the more she felt that Zhao Hongan was truly thoughtful and far-sighted.

The more Su Mingsheng listened, the more he felt it made sense.

Even so, he was still unconvinced.

"Even so, with such a huge investment, he still won't be able to recoup his costs. Having viewership is one thing, but ultimately, the film itself has to be good to become a hit... A blockbuster like 'Ne Zha 2' is something you can only hope for once."

Lin Wanqiu thought for a moment and then said:

"I can't quite figure out Mr. Zhao's business strategy yet, but I believe he must have his reasons."

"He could have signed Song Ci for a very low fee, or even for free, but he insisted on paying more than twice the highest fee."

"His investment is so large... I believe that after Mr. Zhao has created so much hype and gained so much traffic, he will definitely have a backup plan."

"Mr. Zhao is leading the way, but we can't even see his strategy clearly. That's the difference."

Lin Wanqiu sighed.

Lin Wanqiu's favorability +5, currently at 85.

Lin Wanqiu's admiration for Zhao Hong'an was tinged with a touch of curiosity.

I remembered that Zhao Hongan had promised her a Porsche 911, and it was almost time to give it to her.

Then I'll be able to see Zhao Hong'an again...

Lin Wanqiu suddenly realized that she was actually looking forward to meeting Zhao Hong'an, and her pretty face blushed.

Su Mingsheng noticed the slight shyness on his sister-in-law's face, and felt a surge of annoyance, clenching his fist.
