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

Although the story version is simpler than the script, which includes scene descriptions, action prompts, and character dialogues, the core remains the same.

All necessary elements are included.

Boss Xu Qingyi prefers the story version, as she feels it offers more room for imagination.

As one of the most renowned directors in Chinese-language film and television, and an occasional screenwriter, Chen Anqiang certainly has a keen eye.

In fact, Chen Anqiang was already captivated just by reading the descriptions of the main characters.

He felt that Li Zhou was simply a genius among geniuses.

With just a simple design, the story was enhanced, the underlying logic was improved, and it could even help pass censorship...etc.

Having entered the film and television industry in his teens and worked his way up for three or four decades, Chen Anqiang has experienced several eras of development in Chinese-language film and television.

I have also met many industry geniuses.

However, at least at this moment, he felt that even those already famous geniuses were far inferior to Li Zhou.

So after making a quick decision, Chen Anqiang was quite decisive: "After arriving in Guangzhou these past two days, I've heard some rumors..."

"I heard that the TV industry is offering you 4000 million yuan for a leading role right now?"

Li Zhou naturally didn't hide anything: "That's right. But I participated in the investment, so this fee is a bit of an investment bonus."

After a moment's thought, Chen Anqiang stated frankly, "In my experience, the filming and production costs of this film will not exceed 9000 million..."

After a slight pause, Chen Anqiang chuckled and said, "The film industry doesn't have salary caps like the television industry, so how about a 5000 million yuan salary?"

Li Zhou: "..."

Before he could say anything, Chen Anqiang added, "Of course, there's another way to cooperate..."

"You acted for free and received a percentage of the box office revenue. Since you're also the screenwriter, you can combine all the revenue sharing into one calculation."

Li Zhou: "!"

Is this the charm of a great director? I love it!

Yes, Li Zhou's current film and television investments may yield high returns, but these are investments after all.

Pay is a completely different matter.

In a more complex sense, this represents Li Zhou's status, position, and recognition as a celebrity in the entertainment industry, and so on.

To put it simply, this is money... pure silver!

Now, Li can not only choose a 5000 million yuan salary, but also choose to exchange the salary for box office revenue sharing.

Simply perfect.

Li Zhou didn't hesitate much and decisively chose 0 pay.

Even though he's short of money now, he'll use the money to continue investing in film and television projects, so there's no need for him to go through the extra step of paying taxes.

With the basic cooperation agreement reached, Chen Anqiang stated frankly, "The original script was also good; I need time to coordinate and handle things..."

"The earliest it might be able to be turned on is October."

Li Zhou was overjoyed and quickly and frankly mentioned some of his recent plans.

Of course, he still needs to act in "Chinese Paladin" first, so that he can actually get used to the role of an actor.

It's also about putting your observations and conclusions into practice and making thorough preparations before acting in a movie.

After finishing speaking, Li Zhou immediately stated his position: "Of course, I will try my best not to take on multiple projects at once."

In response, Chen Anqiang casually waved his hand: "It's alright. Even if you don't film multiple projects at once, you still have a packed schedule. I know how busy top stars are."

Li Zhou simply nodded silently.

He didn't say anything more about how he, as a top star, wasn't busy or that he had absolute control over his schedule.

Too cocky.

This is inconsistent with Li's low-key style since childhood.

...

……

After successfully coordinating all the film-related matters, Li Zhou felt much better.

Although Chen Anqiang's visit was related to stories about behind-the-scenes capital changes in the industry, Li Mou was just a minor celebrity. Compared to the overall landscape of the entertainment industry, he was nothing more than a nobody.

Having a basic understanding is enough; there's no need to worry about so much in advance.

So, that afternoon, Li Zhou, who was in his office with nothing to do, finally started thinking about buying a house.

"Once filming for 'Promise Me Your Dazzling' wraps up, Tencent will pay another 40% of the production cost, bringing my total to 2048 million..."

"That should be enough to buy a detached villa in one go."

After searching online, Li Zhou felt that none of the options met his expectations, so he promptly consulted Xu Qingyi, a wealthy third-generation heir from Guangzhou.

"Boss, do you have any spare detached villas in excellent surroundings, with top-notch facilities, and priced under 2000 million?"

Xu Qingyi on the other end of the phone immediately replied, "No."

"I don't own many properties in Guangzhou, but I do have some that meet your needs, though they're only worth 2000 million..."

The words weren't finished, but the meaning was completely conveyed.

The sensible Li Zhou didn't waste any more time and said, "Sorry to bother you, goodbye, boss."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Xu Qingyi was stunned for a few seconds. Weren't they going to try to negotiate?

Of course, she didn't know that in Li Zhou's mind, buying a house was a lifelong matter, there were no shortcuts, so there was no rush...

……

In the following days, Li Zhou went to the company every day, mainly to chat with the company's contracted actors who would be starring in "Chinese Paladin".

On the one hand, he observed the actors' daily training, such as reciting lines, and summarized it into his personal record library.

On the other hand, it also helps these actors become more familiar with the story of "Chinese Paladin".

Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was Sunday, August 17th.

At 10 a.m., new singer Ke Ke released her second song, "The Fruits of Summer".

It's still free, and it's still available on all platforms.

However, unlike when Keke released her first song "Encounter," all music platforms promoted it immediately.

In addition to homepage promotions and user message pushes on the platform, it also promotes itself on social media platforms such as Weibo and Douyin.

Nothing else, the lyrics and composition section just has two simple letters: li

If they don't provide enough promotional resources, netizens will probably start to think that the entire operation team of the music platform is brain-dead.

As it turns out, it was thanks to their quick hands and feet that they succeeded.

Because, at just 10:03 AM, Li Zhou updated his Weibo status...

[A new singer I admire, Ke Ke, just released a new song. I've already listened to it, and it's really good...]

My assessment is that this is a very special song that is not easy to sing off-key.

The lyrics are not sentimental, the melody is not intense, and the singing is not shouting, perfectly expressing the emotion that "love is restraint".

I believe it will soon become the best example of "restrained urban love songs" in Chinese music!

At the end of the Weibo post, Li Zhou thoughtfully included a link to the song, allowing users to access it directly with one click.

Leaving aside the rapidly growing and noisy comment section, countless people clicked on the song titled "Summer Fruits".

The tinkling drumbeats of the intro begin, followed by human voices—

♪[Maybe only by giving up... can I get closer to you... only by never seeing you again... will you remember me...]

♪[Time accumulates...the fruits of this summer...]

"..."

♪[Don't deliberately say...you still love me...when you've seen all the ebb and flow of life...as long as you remember me...]

"..."

♪[If you dream of me... please hold me tighter...]
