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

Given Ning Xixia's current popularity, her joining the group naturally made her the top female star of the event.

After all, including her, Shengshi Entertainment finally managed to gather 10 signed artists again.

Incidentally, after Li Zhou made the suggestion to Xu Qingyi last time, the remaining 7 people were all actors.

They're not young people; you could think of them as versatile, everyday supporting actors—the kind of actors are needed in every kind of film and television production.

For example, four of them are currently working on the set of "Give Me Your Light," playing roles such as General Manager Zhang and Director Zhou.

It is a fixed character in the drama, with a complete character setting, multiple scenes, and even scenes with the main actors.

In short, after careful consideration, Zhang Qiming specifically reserved Li Zhou as his go-to supporting actor...

Since Ning Xixia had decided to stay in Guangzhou permanently, Zhang Qiming quickly stepped in to make arrangements.

An office was also arranged for her on the 7th floor of Shengshi.

Having just joined Shengshi, Ning Xixia knew to integrate into the team first. On the first day, she followed Li Zhou's example and didn't leave the company until 5 o'clock.

Then, at 10 a.m. the next day, I came to work at the company like a regular worker.

After a brief visit to her own office, Ning Xixia quickly took her tablet and computer to Li Zhou's office.

She deliberately sat down in the chair in front of the desk and said in a formal tone, "President Li..."

"This is my preliminary understanding of the role that I worked on overnight. Some of it came from a dream. Please feel free to correct me."

Seeing Ning Xixia's businesslike demeanor, Li Zhou didn't waste any more words and carefully reviewed Ning Xixia's notes.

Then I pointed out the misunderstandings and gave some of my own subjective opinions.

After listening, Ning Xixia immediately understood and humbly accepted the explanation.

Without lingering for a moment, she gracefully left the office.

Looking at the already closed office door, Li Zhou sighed softly, "That was a quick reaction."

Unlike Su Yuran, who remained only verbal despite being rejected several times, Ning Xixia reacted almost immediately.

Immediately switch to the normal contact mode to eliminate the impact of the unspoken rules at the beginning.

Li Zhou was so certain because Ning Xixia had deliberately not taken the medical examination report with her yesterday.

The medical examination report can be summarized in just four words: no sexual contact.

The involvement of major internet companies in the entertainment and film industry has indeed led to a redistribution of power within the sector.

This has ushered in the era of big data-driven traffic distribution, and some celebrities and internet personalities have actually managed to make a living on their own.

Li Zhou is the most special case among them. When he participated in the talent show, he was deliberately suppressed by the program team on multiple occasions.

However, it must be admitted that to go further, one still needs someone to support them. Li Zhou had Boss Xu, which is why he was able to become a top star.

The lead role in an S+ long-running drama would be an advantage for Ning Xixia, and some clues can be gleaned from her medical examination report.

In the past, she only had two minor hit dramas, and probably didn't pay the price that others wanted, so no one offered her this kind of opportunity...

The office was quiet for only a moment before Li Zhou looked at the monitor and quickly resumed typing away on the keyboard.

A dozen minutes later, he finished writing the last paragraph and clicked publish...

This is Li Zhou's 9th update since he uploaded "The Three-Body Problem" to Wenyue last month.

With such poor update quality, it's clear that without editor approval, there's no traffic, and to date, there are 0 readers.

Fortunately, Li Zhou didn't expect to become world-famous immediately after the announcement; he was taking it slow, and things would eventually take off...

...

As Li Zhou observed...

In the morning, Ning Xixia came to his office again, still displaying a humble attitude of seeking advice.

However, the compiled content is much more extensive, including elements of the script's plot.

For example, why was Ling'er's affection for Li Xiaoyao so unwavering from the very beginning?

As she spoke, Ning Xixia walked around the desk and came to Li Zhou's side.

Li Zhou continued to explain in detail: "Your understanding of Zhao Ling'er's personality traits in the early stages is very inadequate..."

As a retelling creator, he is certainly very clear about the role and significance of each character in the plot.

Not to mention a core character like Zhao Ling'er.

"At the beginning of the story, Zhao Ling'er has very little contact with the outside world. Her special qualities are that she is untouched by worldly dust, innocent, clean, and bright..."

"They have a very shallow understanding of society, like a teenage girl who has never used a mobile phone before, and they don't understand the wickedness of people's hearts..."

Li Zhou described the character of Zhao Ling'er in the original drama in great detail.

After listening, Ning Xixia replied, seemingly understanding but not quite, "I can understand it, but I feel like I can't quite grasp the part about naivety and inexperience."

Glancing at Ning Xixia's conscience lightly resting on his shoulder, Li Zhou sighed, "There's no way you can hold on to it in this state."

Before Ning Xixia could say anything, Li Zhou added, "Haste makes waste."

Seeing that Ning Xixia remained unmoved, Li Zhou had no choice but to cut to the chase: "The Legend of Sword and Fairy will start filming by early September at the latest. If you still can't get the mood by then..."

"I really will find someone else to play Zhao Ling'er."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Xixia straightened her back in just 0 seconds.

Li Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was no saint, but he valued direct benefits more now.

Standing up and looking at Ning Xixia, Li Zhou said seriously, "Study the character carefully and make Zhao Ling'er the white moonlight in the hearts of those born in the 00s and 10s."

Ning Xixia nodded vigorously.

Li Zhou added, "Furthermore, from a non-actor, non-professional perspective, I think your biggest problem right now is that you want to act too much."

"I wish I could smoke a cigarette in eighteen different ways..."

"The public generally believes that good acting is something that doesn't look like acting. When a normal person smokes, they do whatever feels comfortable."

Finally, Li Zhou frankly stated, "Of course, I'm even worse at acting; all I can do is ramble on and on. You can only look inward for answers."

Ning Xixia listened attentively and bowed slightly, her tone sincere: "Thank you for your guidance, President Li. I will carefully study and adjust accordingly."

She really listened to what she was told.

After leaving Li Zhou's office, Ning Xixia tidied herself up briefly, applied to the company for temporary seclusion, and then, on a recommendation, took her assistant to a small island to experience the feeling of being isolated from the world...

...

……

On Thursday, July 17th, at 10:7 AM, Li Zhou updated his Douyin and Weibo accounts simultaneously.

The background shows Li Zhou sitting in the main control room of the recording studio on the third floor of Shengshi Entertainment, with his back to the control panel and the main recording studio, speaking in a calm tone.

It was pushed to his followers on Douyin in 0 seconds...

"Starting in May, I would spend four or five lunch breaks each week checking my private messages on Weibo and Douyin..."

"I've seen the hardships and unhappiness that many friends have experienced in their lives..."

"I've thought of so many comforting words, but sometimes language and words really do have power, and sometimes they're just fucking bullshit..."

"After all that, all I can say in the end is, don't give up on living a good life first..."

"Later, I wrote a new song..."

"I hope everyone enjoys listening to this..."

The video ends with the intro to Li Zhou's new song.

Meanwhile, at the same time the video was updated, Li Zhou's new song had already been exclusively released on Tencent Music...
