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

DoubleTree by Hilton is located next to Jianji Shopping Center, the most central business district in Heyuan.

In one of the rooms in the presidential suite on the 24th floor, the curtains were suddenly slightly lifted.

The view is just right, allowing one to look down at the bustling Yue Wang Avenue outside the window.

As night falls, a colorful stream of cars moves slowly, racing each other towards their destinations.

Occasionally, a car will find the right moment to accelerate and squeeze into the narrow gap ahead.

Just like now...

Standing behind the curtains, separated from Ning Xixia, Li Zhou suddenly ripped off the jingling bear chain.

Seize the opportunity and firmly grasp that pair of sincere consciences that beat passionately because of youth.

They pressed the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window a few millimeters closer.

Looking blankly at the traffic outside the window through the glass, Ning Xixia felt a sense of loss: "This... through a layer, it suddenly feels very unreal."

She didn't live to see the surge that should have arrived as scheduled.

The next second, Ning Xixia suddenly said decisively, "I must find a way to solve this problem."

Li Zhou simply listened.

This wasn't the first time; he still took the initiative to ensure the safety of both parties.

As for Ning Xixia having her own thoughts and decisions, that's another matter.

Moreover, compared to all of these, Li Zhou values ​​more... "Safety first when traveling."

Unless Ning Xixia can find a way to resolve all the security risks at the same time...

...

……

Good news sometimes comes in clusters.

The following afternoon around 4 p.m., Li Zhou was taking a break after finishing a scene when Yang Sisi rushed over and handed him her personal cell phone, saying that director Yang Changzhi had called.

After glancing at the words "Director Yang Changzhi" on the screen, Li Zhou answered the phone.

"President Li, I hope I haven't disturbed you?" Although Yang Changzhi was quite excited, he still politely greeted him first.

Li Zhou smiled and replied, "No problem, Director Yang, what good news do you have?"

Relieved, Yang Changzhi reported over the phone, "Just now, filming for 'Xu Wo Yao Yan' wrapped up completely, and it was a great success!"

"We strictly adhere to the filming quality requirements..."

Listening to Yang Changzhi's excited report on the wrap-up of filming, Li Zhou did a quick mental calculation.

从6月22号开机到今天的9月6号，前前后后满打满算，只用了77天。

It was 23 days faster than the planned 100 days, which is very efficient.

As for the shooting quality, that's actually the aspect you don't need to worry about the most.

Although neither executive producer Wang Juan nor producer Huang Jie were on-site, director Yang Changzhi took the initiative to ensure the quality.

Compared to his nonchalant attitude when he first received Li Zhou's invitation at the end of May, Yang Changzhi is now obsessed with joining Shengshi.

So what if he has his own studio? He still has to work as a freelancer, and he doesn't like working as a freelancer at all.

If you can eat your fill every day, who the hell would want to go hungry for nine meals in three days?

Shengshi, this very special entertainment company, is actually going to become a film and television brand. How could Yang Changzhi not know to become a veteran director?

After listening to Yang Changzhi's concise and to-the-point report, Li Zhou sincerely said, "Director Yang, you've worked hard."

On the other end of the phone, Yang Changzhi said repeatedly, "It's not hard work at all, it's all what we should do."

He then immediately added, "Because some editing work was done during filming, I am confident that I can complete all post-production by the end of the month."

Li Zhou didn't waste any time: "How much more funding do we need?"

Having anticipated this, Yang Changzhi immediately replied, "At most, we'll need to add another 400 million."

Li Zhou said frankly, "Okay, I'll coordinate."

Although the additional 1.2 million is only 3.3% of the total production cost budget of 400 million, it still involves a lot of procedures.

The main point is that if the normal process is followed, the budget will usually have a slight surplus.

Moreover, Yang Changzhi wasn't trying to show off.

The reason he clearly stated that he could strive to complete post-production by the end of the month was because Li Zhou had proposed the idea.

In short, Li Zhou wanted to get "market validation" as quickly as possible.

Although his current screenwriting skills and market acumen have already made Tencent Video, backed by the giant Tencent, willing to pay for his services;

However, regardless of the circumstances, it still needs to be tested by the market.

The faster it is approved, the faster subsequent plans can be implemented.

That's all.

He, Li Zhou, is already 21, 23 (by the lunar calendar), 25 (by the real age), and 30 (by the real age), almost 40... Time waits for no one!

If we keep wasting time, when will we ever earn enough to make 10 billion? Are we going to wait until we're too old to even use our teeth?

This absolutely cannot be done!

...

Li Zhou immediately turned and dialed Zhang Qiming's number, getting straight to the point: "Xu Woyaoyan has finished filming..."

"There are two things I'd like to trouble you with, Mr. Zhang. First, to coordinate with all parties to add a total of 500 million yuan to the production budget..."

"Secondly, we need to start marketing now. From today until the show premieres, I want Su Yuran to be a trending topic on social media at most every three days..."

"Use whatever means are available, without any taboos."

After making all the arrangements in one go, and hearing Zhang Qiming's response, Li Zhou made another call to Su Yuran.

The arrangements were briefly explained.

Finally, Li Zhou emphasized: "Whether you understand or not, you must still execute. You must understand in the process of execution. This is the final price you will pay."

Unlike a previous time when she had shown some slight resistance, Su Yuran readily agreed on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, President Li, I understand."

"If this show becomes a hit, everything that has happened in the past or is about to happen will become my path back to the past!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou didn't hold back his praise: "Excellent, excellent, with that kind of awareness, you have the makings of a top star..."

"..."

With Li Zhou's arrangement, everyone within Shengshi, the crew of "Xu", Yang Changzhi, Su Yuran, and others got moving.

...

To be fair, Su Yuran has the advantage of being older, giving her ample room to take the shortcut of rapid progress in the demonic path.

Once Su Yuran reaches the top of the 00th level of the wreath, a great scholar will naturally debate with her.

Therefore, Li Zhou has always been willing to use his personal influence to promote her and lead her down the path of being both controversial and famous.

In fact, there's no need to wait for the future; Li Zhou has already gained popularity through several previous hype campaigns.

Whenever Su Yuran is mentioned in public discourse, Li Zhou's name inevitably comes up.

They're completely bound together now.

It's important to understand that given Li Zhou's current popularity and influence, the cost of expanding her reach beyond her current niche would be extremely high.

Not long ago, Li Zhou let Shengshi's team do some calculations.

If he doesn't have any effective works to support him, the cost of maintaining his current popularity alone would be enough to create several popular stars.

Based on comprehensive calculations, Su Yuran's act of giving back can save approximately 40%-60% of the expenses.

In other words, if we take Su Yuran as an example, spending one cent to promote Su Yuran can achieve the effect of three cents.

In conclusion, after settling this score, Xu Qingyi's only thought at the time was: "You're really something..."

"You're wasting your talent being a star. You use the company's money to promote the actresses you want to promote, making money off people, gaining favors, and generating personal buzz."

Regardless of Boss Xu's opinion, Li Zhou's initial strategy of raising female celebrities has already begun to show results.

Because, besides Su Yuran, there is also Ning Xixia.

Although compared to Su Yuran, Ning Xixia, who is categorized as one of the "95 Flowers" (a term referring to actresses born in 1995), is much more difficult to promote, it doesn't matter anymore.

On the day "Chinese Paladin" started filming, Li Zhou appeared as the producer and had already successfully secured the lead actress Ning Xixia.

At the time, several marketing accounts repeatedly brought up the interaction between Li Zhou and Ning Xixia at the entertainment awards ceremony.

Afterwards, whenever there was talk about Ning Xixia, Li Zhou's name would appear, with people criticizing him for flirting with other women while simultaneously contributing to the buzz.
