Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

As the group left the room to head to the awards ceremony, they ran into Lin Youyu and Tian Xiwei backstage.

The two held hands and whispered to each other, oblivious to everyone else.

Liu Zhongze and Lin Youyu made eye contact. Before Lin Youyu could say anything, Tian Xiwei stepped in to stand up for Lin Youyu.

"So you're the bastard who bullied Xiao Yu? What good are your skills? With your sister Tian's resources, she can make sure you never get any film or television resources in the entertainment industry again with just one word."

Tian Xiwei glanced at Liu Zhongze and said coldly, "If you kneel down and apologize to Xiao Yu now, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you can expect to be blacklisted."

Liu Zhongze never imagined that one day he would hear about his own ban from someone else.

Putting aside the consequences of the ban, the prerequisite for such a ban is that Liu Zhongze must have some popularity.

I never expected that Tian Xiwei would go to such lengths to stand up for Lin Youyu based solely on information leaked online. She's definitely a hopeless romantic.

However, Liu Zhongze had seen Tian Xiwei's photo before, and based on the photo alone, he could barely give her an 8.8.

But now, even with makeup on, this woman doesn't have the poses of Lin Luoying and Jiang Yue. She only deserves a 7.5 out of 10. She's considered pretty among ordinary people, but not a great beauty, and certainly not the same woman under the spotlight in the photos.

"Ha, you've never seen a female celebrity as beautiful as Sister Tian before, have you? Staring at me like that, do you believe I'll poke your eyes out with my finger?"

"Tian Xiwei, that's enough."

Tian Xiwei sized up Zhao Dekai, covered her mouth with her hand, and asked her assistant who was not far away.

Upon receiving the assistant's reply, Lin Youyu finally wanted to explain the situation. He had just opened his mouth when he heard Tian Xiwei say, "Don't worry, I've got your back. Don't be afraid. This is the awards ceremony backstage; he won't dare to hit you."

Seeing this, Lin Youyu naturally showed an innocent expression, and then gave Liu Zhongze an apologetic look. He did not intend to explain any further.

Tian Xiwei showed a disdainful expression and said, "I thought it had some big backing, but it turns out it's just a low-level horror film director. These days, who with even a little talent would make a horror film? Isn't this just a practice film for newbies?"

Tian Xiwei's words left Zhao Dekai speechless. Even at his peak, he couldn't shake the popularity of the person in front of him.

Don't underestimate any popular celebrity who frequently appears on variety shows. If they join your production team, you can freely criticize their acting.

However, if you want to guarantee box office success, you must feign compliance and get the companies behind the popular stars to handle the marketing. This can greatly reduce the pressure on box office revenue.

This is also why the young actor with the nickname "Four Characters" has been so active on the big screen in recent years. It's not because he acts well or has a good image, but simply because he has a lot of online traffic.

It was supposed to be a group of two debuting members, but they insisted on including one more person. In the end, this person still managed to capture most of the initial popularity of the two members and successfully transformed their image with a tough persona. This is something worth pondering.

It is no coincidence.

As long as you are a darling of capital, even if you are not good at business, not good-looking, or not good at singing, as long as you do something abstract, capital can make you have a large number of haters.

Because the attacks are organized and disciplined, these negative messages do not affect the artists' lives. Instead, they attract the attention of uninformed passersby, who feel that their idol has done nothing wrong and is being attacked by the entire internet.

It's like when a stock market tycoon is about to leave, and they sell off short-selling stocks, making the stock seem like it's on the verge of collapse.

A large number of fans and retail investors bought shares, turning the originally empty company into an unimaginable force. This stock, which was also known as "Hacked You," finally survived the difficult period and became a hot commodity.

Of course, the typical example of this is that idol trainee who practiced for half a year. In the future, as long as he cried in front of the camera about the pain he suffered during that time, his fans and family would definitely support him and make his rankings soar like a rocket.

"Director, you'd better not get involved."

Liu Zhongze stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Dekai.

He looked at Tian Xiwei and calmly said, "Is smearing and blacklisting your Jiujiang Film and Television Company's style?"

Lin Youyu's expression changed, and he said, "Liu Zhongze, what nonsense are you talking about? Who works for Jiujiang Film and Television Company!"

Lin Youyu's strange reaction startled Liu Zhongze. Then, as he thought about it more deeply, an idea gradually emerged that told him the reason.

If he doesn't acknowledge the strength of his own company, then there must be something about his company that is detrimental to Tian Xiwei's company. Whether it's a former business rival or a hidden company that's planning to acquire it, it's quite intriguing.

"Baby, why did he say you're from Jiujiang Film and Television Company?" Tian Xiwei stared at Lin Youyu with wide eyes, looking obedient and sensible, completely unlike her previous arrogant demeanor.

Staff members passing by would pretend not to see it, after all, there are too many conflicts between artists. Just a matter of positioning is enough to cause a blood feud between the fans of both sides, and even to the point that the two artists never speak to each other again.

Lin Youyu grabbed Tian Xiwei's hand, making the most of his youthful face, and said, "How could that be, baby? I know you hate Jiujiang TV the most, how could it be related to the Jiujiang Film and Television Company behind Zhejiang TV?"

Liu Zhongze smiled, as if other people's problems were much more serious than his. If he could explain himself clearly, Lin Youyu's fate would probably not be much better than his.

The scandals of a minor celebrity are nothing compared to the gossip of a top star. If a strange relationship is revealed, it will attract countless onlookers and frequently trend on social media.

Before Liu Zhongze could speak, a familiar middle-aged woman walked over from the other side. She whispered something to Zhao Dekai, then turned and left.

"I..."

Liu Zhongze had barely uttered a word when Zhao Dekai pulled him away, turning to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Liu, is this kid really from Jiujiang Film and Television Company?"

Liu Zhongze nodded.

Zhao Dekai's expression immediately turned ugly. He said, "Lin Lianhua just came over. She's not only the decision-maker of Jiujiang Film and Television Company, but also the woman of the director of Jiujiang local TV station. It's a powerful alliance. Even the director of Hunan TV wouldn't dare to offend Lin Lianhua."

Liu Zhongze asked in confusion, "Who is Lin Lianhua?"

"Oh, I forgot Lin Lianhua has given herself a fancy name now, Jenny Lin. Remember, never mess with her, or you won't have a good life in the country anymore. She's a woman who can turn the tide with a flick of her wrist!"
