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

In fact, there are people attacking Li Zhou on the Chinese Internet all the time, and this is an unorganized, large-scale, spontaneous, and proactive act.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Heizi's occasional "moved" tears; he'll quickly turn around and start digging in all sorts of angles, like...

"Dare to criticize my brother Zhou's singing and dancing? I'll make you listen to 'Zhou You Shine' ten thousand times!"

"You dare say 'ili'? You're courting death! Just wait until your household registration book starts to bleed..."

"My brother Zhou is definitely the most self-disciplined person in the Chinese entertainment industry. He deleted all his friends immediately after his official debut, cutting off all ties with the past..."

"..."

In comparison, it's obvious that these are marketing accounts that have taken orders to rewrite smear articles, and their impact in the short term is more limited.

The only difference is that the latter will only make passersby feel disgusted and annoyed, while the former can assimilate more passersby into becoming haters.

Even black traffic is still traffic.

Therefore, after the team discovered the organized smear campaign by online trolls at the beginning of the month, Li Zhou didn't pay much attention to it.

The reason we're suddenly stirring things up now is because "Give Me Your Light" has already started filming.

Li Zhou needs to find some new opportunities to promote Su Yuran and create more buzz.

Increase popularity and buzz to reduce the likelihood of the show flopping.

Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives...

Despite repeated adjustments, director Yang Changzhi was still not satisfied with the performance of the male and female leads in their confrontational scenes.

However, Yang Changzhi had talked to Li Zhou beforehand, and based on his experience, he knew that such a scene was easy to spread, so he was not in a hurry.

So, taking advantage of the halftime break, Su Yuran excitedly ran over to Li Zhou's place to mooch some tea.

Watching Su Yuran finish her tea, Li Zhou smiled and said, "Yuran, you might have to work hard to create some more hype in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuran nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'll do whatever President Li says."

She has one good quality: although she's still a college student, she never regretted getting on the wrong path and cooperated very firmly.

After agreeing, Su Yuran asked curiously, "But what's going on lately that we can hype up?"

Li Zhou didn't hide anything from him and talked about the smear article: "...I'll make a big fuss about it, and then I'll find an opportunity for you to get involved and clean things up."

"How exactly to proceed depends on the collective wisdom."

After hearing the whole story, Su Yuran's eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea: "Simple, link all the smear articles about my private life to me..."

"If that doesn't work, release two more real intimate photos. Once it causes a huge uproar, we can say it was just filming a movie. That way, we can kill two birds with one stone."

Li Zhou didn't care about creating scandals, but still shook his head: "This is a last resort."

"I have high expectations for you, and I don't really want you to resort to tactics like creating scandals that you've already used before."

Having studied emotional intelligence guidelines, Su Yuran is adept at grasping the key point: "How high?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou glanced at Su Yuran lightly: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Su Yuran: "..."

Seeing Su Yuran choke on her words, Li Zhou suddenly understood the satisfaction that Boss Xu had felt when he said those words.

So much so that he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Just wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later..."

...

……

Su Yuran had just gone back to continue filming when producer Huang Jie came over.

Li Zhou greeted her with a smile, "President Jie, would you like some tea?"

This wasn't his first time meeting with the main crew members; he had already "adapted to local customs."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Li," Huang Jie replied with a smile.

Here's an interesting phenomenon: people with common surnames usually address each other by their given name plus their title, such as calling Huang Jiejie "General Manager".

The exception is the person with the highest status in the entire system/project, who can be addressed in any way.

The main reason why Li Zhou is being targeted is because it's common knowledge that Huang Jie and others have strong connections to the entertainment industry, so they actively avoid mentioning "Zhou".

After sitting down at the table and drinking half a cup of tea, Huang Jie calmly got down to business: "President Li, the preliminary filming plan has been drafted..."

"Preliminary overall budget proposal..."

"Preliminary..."

With each sentence she spoke, Huang Jie would take a folder out of her briefcase and place it on the tea table.

By the time she finished speaking, the tea table was already full of folders, and Yang Sisi quickly started organizing them.

Finally, Huang Jie concluded: "Lingnan Audiovisual has also provided an answer..."

"Tomorrow, the Guangzhou Film and Television Industry Service Center will send a team of about 10 people to provide services and coordinate filming registration and other related matters..."

After listening patiently, Li Zhou asked in return, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be reported to Director Juan?"

Huang Jie quickly explained, "President Li has misunderstood. I've already reported it to President Juan. This is to inform you."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou said nothing more.

He simply waved his hand and didn't take the folders that Yang Sisi had already organized.

These folders only need to be taken back to Shengshi Entertainment so that relevant company personnel can organize, archive, and keep copies.

Because it involves finance and a range of other matters, Li Zhou obviously couldn't possibly know everything...

For example, Li Zhou also learned that the film crew could seek help from relevant units to coordinate matters such as filming approval, site occupation, and temporary traffic control, which are usually the audiovisual plans of the provincial radio and television station.

For example, in Guangdong, known as Lingnan Audiovisual, large film crews are usually provided with special support services by the city where the filming takes place.

If the city where the auction is located has not yet established a physical auction agency, the publicity and cultural tourism departments will coordinate the response.

For example, Li Zhou only recently figured out the significance and division of labor among the many titles in the crew.

The order in which the credits appear at the beginning and end of the credits generally represents the power structure within the production team.

The common order of credits is: Producer → Executive Producer → Chief Producer/Producer → Director

The executive producer oversees the direction, shooting quality, and resource coordination; the chief producer oversees implementation and controls costs.

The difference in their positions on Tencent Video also reveals the extent of their power.

Executive producer Huang Jie is only the vice president of Tencent Video's content production department;

The executive producer, Wang Juan, is the co-president and chief content officer of Tencent Video...

As the executive producer, Huang Jie will be stationed on set throughout the entire process to oversee and coordinate everything.

Wang Juan only visits the film set occasionally, and has previously stated that she will not interfere with filming in principle.

As for the producer with the highest decision-making power...

Zhong Huai, chairman of Tencent Video and vice president of Tencent, was very busy and only managed to meet with Li Zhou briefly in Guangzhou.

He entrusted Li Zhou with all the decisions that required the producer's approval at the production team level.

In addition, Zhong Huai made a promise that, based on the broadcast performance, he would receive sufficient resources to support the show on the streaming platform, namely Tencent Video…

...

……

After finishing her tea, Huang Jie chatted with Li Zhou for a few more minutes before getting up and leaving.

Every word and action showed due respect and etiquette.

Lunchtime arrived quickly.

Observer Xiao Li only briefly lost focus, but afterwards continued to diligently observe and record.

The notes on my phone are almost a thousand words long.

Li Zhou was originally planning to eat the crew's boxed lunch with them, but Wang Juan suddenly appeared and organized a dinner party.

The director, lead actors, and other key creative personnel were invited.

At the dinner table, the conversation mainly revolved around the plot of "Give Me Your Light" and its market relevance.

It can be considered, in a sense, an informal creative work and market analysis discussion.

Wang Juan needed a more precise positioning for market promotion, so she raised many of the questions...

"The opening is very exciting and fast-paced, like a short drama, which really gets the audience emotional. Will the ending be...?"

The first to respond wasn't Li Zhou, but director Yang Changzhi, who stated unequivocally: "It will cause controversy, but it's necessary!"

"Sometimes we are misled by the voices of some viewers; currently, female viewers account for over 80% of the long-running drama market..."

After analyzing the situation, Yang Changzhi concluded, "Actually, I still hope to marry into a better family..."

"Of course, in the early stages of promotion, we still need to focus on highlighting the female lead's eccentricities, her strong personality, and so on..."

Seeing that things had already come to this point, Li Zhou naturally wouldn't add anything unnecessary.

After all, he's just an ordinary creator; he doesn't know anything about scripts.

After chatting about related matters for a while, Wang Juan took the initiative to change the subject again and started talking about casual things.

Li Zhou mostly listened to these things and rarely spoke.

When Yang Changzhi expressed how worry-free the cooperation with Tencent was, he casually mentioned Taobao: "I heard that Taobao has a serious internal power struggle..."

"Rumor has it that the heads of several content studios at Taobao have been making quite a fuss lately..."

The people at the table couldn't help but gossip a bit.

Wang Juan, who was also good at fitting in, chimed in, "It was Wang Xiaofei who started the trouble; I heard he's already been demoted."
