My capital is quite large.

The night at Zijinshan Manor in Jinling is deep and tranquil.

The water ripples in the spacious, luxurious, temperature-controlled bathtub.

Yang Mi leaned limply against Li Feng's chest, her fair skin flushed a charming pink from the warm water.

The two-hour-long session of servicing her had almost exhausted all her energy.

All of this was because she was holding a grudge.

During the New Year's Eve gala, Yang Mi was sitting in the audience when Liu Yifei held up the Weibo Queen trophy amidst the attention of everyone.

She lost, and she was extremely unwilling to accept the defeat!

"Why should I?" Yang Mi asked herself countless times in her heart.

She's a woman who has been branded in the most private part of her body!

They paid the most irreparable price, and also sold their souls and bottom lines.

And what about Liu Yifei?

Yang Mi is absolutely certain that the aloof and ethereal fairy sister does not have such a humiliating private mark on her body!

Since she paid the heaviest price, why shouldn't Yang Mi be the one standing on the highest podium in the end?!

"Boss..."

She drew out the last syllable, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness, yet also a perfectly placed touch of grievance, "At the party the other day, Yifei was holding that real diamond trophy, he looked so impressive. I was watching from below the stage, and I was so envious."

Li Feng leaned against the edge of the bathtub, letting her wrap herself around him.

He could certainly hear the sourness and probing in the little fox's words, but he was indeed in a good mood tonight.

"Envious?" Li Feng reached out and pinched her chin.

"What, you think I'm resentful that I gave her the Queen's trophy?"

"How could they dare?"

Yang Mi then rubbed her cheek against Li Feng's palm. "Yi Fei is a senior after all. He has good movie resources and high national recognition. I'm just a young actress who started out in TV dramas. How can I compare to his deep foundation?"

Hearing this probing question tinged with resentment, Li Feng raised an eyebrow with interest.

"Yang Mi, do you think that Liu Yifei's star power has always overshadowed the rest of you because of his big-screen presence?"

Yang Mi paused for a moment, a hint of doubt showing in her watery fox eyes.

Is not it?

In this era's entertainment industry hierarchy, movie stars are always the most prestigious.

Those who make TV dramas are trying every possible way to squeeze into the film industry, as if only by appearing on the big screen can they be considered to have truly ascended to the top.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Li Feng shook his head.

"You guys in the Chinese entertainment industry are all trapped by those traditional, outdated ways of thinking."

"In the past, stars who wanted to become famous and become national idols could not do without the support of the big screen. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Stephen Chow are representative examples. That's because entertainment was scarce in the past, and movie theaters were the only holy land for creating gods."

"But times have changed!" Li Feng's voice echoed in the empty bathroom.

"With the rise of the internet and mobile networks, young people's access to information has become completely fragmented. The old method of relying on the big screen to create legends is about to be swept into the dustbin of history!"

"Let me tell you a very counterintuitive truth that traditional filmmakers will find: if we look ten years ahead, what truly makes a female star a household name and establishes her national recognition and die-hard fans will not be movies, but television dramas!"

Yang Mi's eyes widened in shock, and she involuntarily slowed her breathing.

Think about it carefully.

"Why does Liu Yifei have such high national recognition? And why can she overshadow you guys so much? Is it because she starred in those few mediocre Hollywood action movies? Or is it because she acted in Tsui Hark's 'Detective Dee'?"

"Of course not!"

"Her real strength lies in those three nationally hugely popular TV dramas from back then! 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' and 'Chinese Paladin 1'!"

"It was these three TV dramas, which bombarded her daily on major TV stations and were repeatedly edited online, that propelled her to god-like status! This is the undeniable power of TV dramas to create idols in the internet age!"

Li Feng looked down at Yang Mi, who was in his arms and looked completely shocked, and continued:

"Look at yourself, and then at Tang Yan and Liu Shishi."

"What caused your three to skyrocket in popularity? Was it because of 'Aftershock'? Wrong! It's because of 'Chinese Paladin 3' that you all starred in!"

"Television screens combined with trending topics on Weibo – this is the key to creating stars in the future!"

"But there's still a huge group of people in the mainland entertainment industry who are desperately sucking up to the Hong Kong film industry, thinking that they can rise to fame just by playing a decorative role in a Hong Kong film. They haven't realized that the Hong Kong film industry is already half-dead!"

"Going to make movies to enhance your resume is fine, but if you lose your core television drama audience, you're digging your own grave!"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Li Feng's logic for creating stars dispelled the fog in Yang Mi's eyes!

Exactly! TV dramas are the real secret weapon for gaining fans!

He's always envious of Liu Yifei's big movie projects, but he's overlooked his own core strengths.

A burning ambition ignited in Yang Mi's fox-like eyes. She suddenly turned around in the water and pressed herself tightly against Li Feng from behind.

Two soft mounds, separated by damp moisture, gently rubbed against Li Feng's back.

"Boss, you're amazing..."

Yang Mi rested her chin on Li Feng's shoulder, her red lips pressed against his earlobe, her voice sweet and cloying.

"They're busy filming on set every day, how would they understand these grand principles of changing times? If it weren't for your guidance tonight, boss, they'd still be foolishly trying to snatch up movie scripts."

She clung to him seductively, half-coquettishly and half-pleadingly, saying:

"But boss... even if I know TV dramas are important, I can't tell which scripts will be huge hits. What if I take on a bad role? Wouldn't that be a waste of your investment in me?"

"Boss, you have such good taste, why don't you pick a TV series that's bound to be a huge hit for me... As long as you give it to me, I'll serve you like this every day from now on~"

Feeling the touch on his back, a smile flashed in Li Feng's eyes.

I'm not afraid of you wanting it, I'm afraid you don't have any ambition.

Li Feng scooped her out of the water, splashing water everywhere.

He looked at the little fox in his arms, filled with ambition, and uttered a single word:

""palace"."
