Which top celebrity doesn't support a few female stars?

At first, Li Zhou, who was new to the film set, found everything somewhat novel.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had personally visited a film set.

Shooting endorsement gigs is different, for example, the three endorsement gigs last month didn't even have a director, just a photographer.

Although a three-to-five-minute-long GG video might take three or four days to film, it was just Li Mou acting as a one-man show from beginning to end.

Unlike now...

Li Zhou watched as executive producer Huang Jie led the director, lead actors, and others in burning incense and offering prayers...

Watching them recite auspicious phrases like "Good luck with the start-up"...

Watching them unveil the large red cloth covering the main camera...

Then, Li Zhou hurriedly carried a bag of red envelopes that he had prepared in advance and went forward to distribute them to the main creators and staff one by one.

They also offered their blessings: "Good luck on the start of filming," "Smooth filming," "Great sales," and "May your career flourish."

Considering that Li Mou has some popularity and his role as a producer in distributing red envelopes is not limited to that of a producer, he also participated in the group photo at the start of filming.

Amidst laughter and chatter, Yang Changzhi busied himself preparing the film set for shooting.

He used to be a freelance director, more accustomed to emphasizing efficiency.

Li Zhou didn't deliberately get closer; he just observed from a distance...

They seemed to have mumbled a few words over there, and then someone picked up a megaphone and shouted, "Start!"

Five cameramen started pushing their cameras, and the opening scene was a simultaneous five-camera setup.

While Li Zhou was amazed by the scale of the scene, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Such a large-scale scene in the very first scene, the pressure must be immense..."

"Acting is indeed not an easy job, no wonder everyone emphasizes that actors must have a sense of conviction."

Leaving aside the past, even Li Zhou now has experienced countless close-up shots of cameras.

Last month, I attended an entertainment gala in Shanghai. During the red carpet event, there were at least a hundred cameras shoving into my face.

The "Bagua Table" that went viral overseas was even filmed from all angles, including front, back, left, right, and right.

However, those can all be considered relatively natural states.

Unlike now, where actors are filmed by five cameras and still need to immerse themselves in their roles and act out the story.

Moreover, it was the very first scene, so it was bound to be a great start, and the pressure was immense.

However… just as Li Zhou was sighing, a voice blared from the loudspeaker again: “Good!”

It's easy to see that the first scene has come to a perfect end.

Li Zhou: "..."

He didn't understand, but he had a mouth.

He then looked at his assistant, Yang Sisi, who was standing beside him: "So, is acting really that difficult?"

"It may be difficult, or it may not be difficult," Yang Sisi, who had made great progress, answered flawlessly.

Of course, she also knows how to be an assistant, and then explained: "It's not difficult to do things that only require everyday emotions, like what just happened."

At this point, Yang Sisi paused and pointed to the filming area not far away: "It would be more difficult if they suddenly started arguing like this."

While they were still chattering away, the second scene was already being filmed under the overall coordination of director Yang Changzhi.

Su Yuran, who plays Xu Yan, and Chen William, who plays Shen Haoming, got into a prop car and started bickering from zero frames.

From Li Zhou's perspective, this is the most memorable scene from "Give Me Your Light" that can be highlighted and spread.

The plot is... Shen Haoming said Xu Yan has good acting skills, but he doesn't know what she's lying to me about.

Xu Yan said that there are many scams out there.

Then the two of them got really into their conversation, and what followed was a classic scene...

Xu Yan: ["Then look for the reasons within yourself. Look for the reasons within yourself. Is it because you're old-fashioned and your vision is outdated...?"]

"Your slicked-back hair never changes, and that suit—it's a semi-permanent three-piece set. What's wrong? Are you bedding?"

"And you wear glasses? Are you nearsighted? What are you doing wearing them every day? What are you pretending for, trying to look like some old-fashioned rich guy!"

"..."

From a distance of ten or twenty meters, Li Zhou quietly watched the two actors arguing inside a car that was actually stationary.

Then Li Zhou suddenly pulled out his phone and started typing rapidly on the screen...

"Perhaps a sense of conviction can be strengthened through emotional immersion?"

"Understanding the character's behavior might make it easier to empathize with the performance..."

"Forgetting you're acting makes it easier to get into character..."

"..."

Li Zhou took notes as he watched. When someone called for a stop, director Yang Chang stepped in to give instructions, and Li Zhou continued to jot down the notes...

"No acting is without mistakes. Don't expect to get it right in one take. It's okay if you make a mistake; you can adjust..."

"However, if we could request to see the surveillance footage, seeing it from a third-person perspective would make it clearer where our problems lie, right?"

"..."

Li Zhou did not forget that the reason he chose to work part-time as a screenwriter on TV series projects was because he felt that his acting skills were not good enough.

He also didn't forget that sooner or later he would have to accumulate some film and television achievements to extend his career as an artist.

Therefore, observation is just a process; recording, understanding, and then applying it are Li's core objectives.

To put it simply, from the perspective of an ordinary passerby on Earth, Li Zhou believes that traffic idols can be roughly divided into two types.

One is Brother Kun, and the other is Brother Yuan.

The former was criticized for two and a half years, but still managed to turn the tide because he does have some talent that can be recognized.

The latter, film and television, failed to develop, and music, which was called Berkeley online courses, was mainly due to a lack of talent.

To be fair, Li Zhou is currently in a state of flux, with some aspects of his life seemingly shifting from one of the world's best to another.

That's why he treats any artistic works exported to the outside world in a public capacity with such caution.

For example, although he started writing songs for himself on the 12th, he is still adjusting his state.

Screenwriters, unlike other types of screenwriters, are behind-the-scenes figures.

Even if "Give Me Your Light" flopped badly after its premiere, it was because the script written by screenwriter Li Zhou was bad, and the blame could even be shifted to the director and actors.

Top star Li Zhou can also directly sever ties with screenwriter Li Zhou.

...

……

Seeing the director and actors in the filming area making repeated adjustments, Li Zhou paused his observation and began to rest.

Seeing this, Yang Sisi, who was sitting at the small table, poured Li Zhou a cup of tea at the right time.

Observer Xiao Li has her own separate work area on set, complete with a sunshade, fan, tea table, tea, and recliner.

Moreover, his entourage was no less impressive than that of the lead actors, also featuring a motorhome and a nanny van.

The difference is that the lead actor's salary is paid by the production team, while Xiao Li's daily salary is supported by Shengshi Entertainment.

Sipping his warm tea, Li Zhou sighed softly, "Is the entertainment industry winter going to reach me too?"

"After all that swapping and exchanging, the resources aren't anything special..."

Yang Sisi knew that all she had to do at this moment was listen.

Zhang Qiming's initial plan was quite good; he thought he could exchange roles for resources from all sides.

They were all in the entertainment industry, and of course they all understood the concept of resource exchange, but no matter how they tried, none of them could interest Li Zhou.

However, the resource exchange was successfully completed.

For example, through Zhang Qiming's efforts, the agency behind the second female lead managed to exchange for a variety show opportunity.

Li Zhou directly assigned the task to Su Yuran, instructing her to continue building her public image and popularity.

After a moment of reflection, Li Zhou suddenly asked, "Has the team found out who's been buying smear articles against me lately?"

Not long ago, a large number of new smear campaign articles suddenly appeared and spread wildly on multiple platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu.

The other party's method is very low-level; they just read the same draft to different people.

But if it works and lasts long enough, it can evoke feelings of disgust and aversion in passersby.

"My colleague is still working on it," Yang Sisi replied. "I asked a few minutes ago, but they still can't pinpoint the exact person."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Li Zhou asked again, "Who are the suspects?"

"It's almost certain that they aren't the post-00s generation's up-and-coming geniuses; it's probably Song Mingche and his group."

"So, he's a true top-tier contestant?"

"right."

"Does Song Mingche have any dirt on him that we can use to attack him?"

"The team probably doesn't have it."

"Let's just have a magic clash then. Who it is isn't that important. Let's just muddy the waters first."

"clear."
