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

Chapter 33: New singer Ke Ke's solo single, "Encounter"

Based on his personal music library and after careful consideration, Li Zhou ultimately chose the following song for Ke Miaoyin:

"meet"

One of Stefanie Sun's representative works, a song by a "niche singer," is extremely popular, a hit song of the year, and has won many awards.

It might take a while to process the song title and recall the corresponding memories, but as soon as the intro starts, all those memories come rushing back...

♪[I heard...winter leaving...and woke up in a certain year and month...]

Even putting all that aside, after going around in circles, when we hear...

♪[I'm standing in line... holding my love number...]

You'll surely be able to recall those melodies that have flowed through your memory time and time again.

After all... this is a song that will still be among the top 100 hit songs on QQ Music's chart in 2025.

It must be said that the impression left by the original owner during the process of learning artistic talents gave Li Zhou a certain artistic vision.

It makes it easier to determine the suitability of all the songs in your memory.

For example, Li Zhou could clearly tell that the melody of "Encounter" was simple and had a moderate vocal range, making it easy for ordinary listeners to sing along.

For example, he noticed that the arrangement of "Encounter" was also simple, which could better highlight the emotional expression and narrative in the singer's voice.

For example... and so on.

Furthermore, the emotional expression in "Encounter" is relatively delicate, filled with trepidation and longing for an unknown encounter, as well as confusion and anticipation...

It perfectly matches Ke Miaoyin's current emotional state at this age.

It better fits the unique "novelty" of Ke Miaoyin, a wealthy young woman who is in college but suddenly has the urge to try her luck in the entertainment industry.

In short... considering the 1000 million yuan copyright fee, Li Zhou gave Ke Miaoyin two songs to choose from, and she ultimately chose "Encounter".

...

On the third floor of the Shengshi headquarters, in the main control room of the recording studio, which is decorated according to the highest international standards, Li Zhou and Xu Qingyi watched through the glass as Ke Miaoyin immersed herself in recording "Encounter".

As an aside, this recording studio was built by Xu Qingyi at a cost of 8000 million yuan after Li Zhou debuted as a singer and dancer.

It is said that if ranked solely by equipment level, it would rank at least among the top two in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

Never claiming to be number one is a sign of humility ingrained in Mr. Xu's character.

However, after it was built, Li Zhou hardly ever used it. Shengshi rarely signed singers, and the overall idle time far exceeded the usage time...

Xu Qingyi listened intently for a long time, arms crossed, and kept praising, "Boss Li's creative level is just too comprehensive, too high..."

"With just a little effort, it perfectly matched Miao Yin's song, and there were even backup options."

Li Zhou, who has never been afraid of power, simply said, "Boss, outdated words of concern are far less effective than a large sum of money."

Xu Qingyi opened her mouth, but then closed it again; she was somewhat unconvinced and lacked conviction.

Because, on the afternoon of the 23rd, Ke Miaoyin was able to find the film set because Boss Xu gave her the address.

And that very evening, Ke Miaoyin selected a song and began recording her vocals.

However, this was the first time Boss Xu had visited Shengshi Entertainment, ostensibly to inquire about the progress...

Also quick to share the boss's burdens, Li Zhou thoughtfully changed the subject: "Boss, what do you think of Ms. Ke's singing now?"

They didn't let Mr. Xu's silence continue.

Xu Qingyi didn't mince words and answered directly, "I actually prefer to hear the complete performance."

"The way we're recording it segment by segment always makes me feel like the emotions don't flow smoothly when I listen to it..."

Without saying a word, Li Zhou made the arrangement directly: "Listen to the boss and adjust the recording method."

Xu Qingyi: "..."

She could easily understand that she had been used as a pawn.

That bastard Li Zhou clearly already had a plan and was determined to make me take the lead!

So much so that after patiently listening to Ke Miaoyin's complete rendition of "Encounter," Xu Qingyi felt a continuity in the emotions.

She had just finished praising Ke Miaoyin, who had just walked out of the main recording studio, saying, "It's like listening to celestial music; your ears are instantly enlightened."

She then called Li Zhou to her office.

Starting from frame 0, he expresses his resentment at being used as a pawn: "With Miao Yin's affection and admiration for you, you only need to flick your finger and she can sneak into your bed without her family's knowledge..."

Without pausing, Xu Qingyi gritted her teeth and angrily retorted, "Do you have to be so cautious? And why do you have to use me as a shield?"

"What the hell are you so afraid of?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou sighed and said, "I work so hard to make money not so that I can die young, but so that I can live to be a hundred and enjoy my life."

He didn't explain his thoughts much... For example, he was an orphan, had no home, and didn't know what sincerity or care was.

From the past to the present, he has only chosen to befriend people with whom he can communicate on the same wavelength, and he politely declines and stays away from all others.

In short, Ke Miaoyin's family background directly triggered Li Zhou's "lower-level resistance code".

If it weren't for Boss Xu and the potential for profit, he wouldn't have taken this job.

Although Li Zhou's explanation was simple, Xu Qingyi still understood most of the meaning: "You're afraid of Miao Yin, but aren't you worried I'll throw you into the Pearl River?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou casually waved his hand: "I never worry about things that will never happen."

Xu Qingyi: "..."

Never mind. At least this Qili Bali knows to subtly praise my good character and kind heart...

Forgive him this once.

...

……

Later that day, around lunchtime, Li Zhou was having lunch in the tea room next to his office, listening to his assistant Yang Sisi gossip about things inside and outside the entertainment industry.

Over the past two or three days, the "male top star smear campaign" has remained the core focus of entertainment media.

It even unusually remained at the top of Weibo's trending topics... because no other celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry was willing to steal the spotlight and grab the top spot.

As always, Yang Sisi recounted all sorts of gossip, both true and false, in great detail...

"Rumors are circulating that someone is trying to divert attention from the issue, attempting to drag down top female celebrities and even superstars all at once..."

"After all, everyone thinks that it was just that the internet wasn't as developed back then, and that the past of these superstars was actually full of dark history..."

"In response to the statement released by Song Mingche's studio these past few days, netizens have reacted strongly, so Song Mingche's studio's Weibo account has closed the comment section..."

"Currently, no players in the industry have publicly commented on this matter."

"..."

In addition, Yang Sisi also mentioned the actions of izhou and his haters, who, at their instigation, have caused the male idol's fans to frantically trace his origins.

However, so far the results have been minimal.

It should be said that the only side effect is that it keeps the public's attention on this matter high.

Far exceeding Li Zhou's expectations, it can be considered a case of "unintentional success".

Well, Li Zhou's perspective is different from other top celebrities; he doesn't think this is something that could cause someone's career to collapse.

Whether male celebrities admit it or not, the public and fans have always been exceptionally tolerant of them.

This is just a trivial matter of tearing each other apart; it's far from enough to cause a complete collapse.

So... the instigator, Li, was just waiting for the right opportunity to capitalize on public opinion.

……

Time flies, and two more days have passed.

Saturday the 28th.

The three major online music platforms simultaneously released the debut single, "Encounter," by newcomer singer Ke Ke.
