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

Xu Qingyi picked up her teacup and gulped down the tea; her laughter had really made her thirsty.

After finishing her tea, Xu Qingyi didn't forget to bring up the important matter: "Let's get down to business. What brings you to the company specifically to see me?"

I just happened to catch up with them and we chatted briefly about their new schedules.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou immediately replied truthfully, "I was mainly struggling with choosing my future career path and wanted to ask for your advice..."

"Huh?" At first, Xu Qingyi didn't react, but then she realized that Li Zhou believed that she was "unparalleled in talent".

She blinked, then suddenly looked worried: "You didn't do so many bad things and get your comeuppance, did you? Did your brain get fried?"

Li Zhou: "..."

He didn't say anything, but finally picked up the teacup on the table without drinking.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the owner of the office, serving tea and seeing guests off.

The spacious general manager's office suddenly fell silent. Finally, Xu Qingyi spoke first: "Okay, okay..."

"I know you suffered hardships during your time living in Shenzhen, and I also know that hardship is the breeding ground for literature..."

Seeing that Li Zhou was still just stroking his teacup, remaining silent and not even looking at her, Xu Qingyi finally gave in completely: "I truly believe you have creative talent!"

After a brief pause, she felt she should show the same sincerity she had initially displayed when she persuaded Li Zhou to participate in the talent show.

Therefore, Xu Qingyi stated in a serious tone: "The company will do its best to meet your necessary needs for artistic creation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhou's face lit up with joy: "The boss is very generous."

"I happen to have a small favor to ask the boss for; I'd like to voluntarily become part of the ruins..."

Perhaps due to the overwhelming stress she had experienced since morning, Xu Qingyi calmly typed out a question mark: "?"

Li Zhou briefly explained his views.

What does it mean that only by becoming ruins can there be no houses left to collapse? What does it mean that with so many haters, you should know how to go with the flow and strive to become more popular the more you hate them? What…

After listening patiently for a while, Xu Qingyi nodded and said knowingly, "I understand. You're a leopard can't change its spots!"

Li Zhou sighed, sounding quite serious: "That's a very unpleasant way to put it..."

"After I take on screenwriting as a side job, I'll definitely only be able to collaborate with friends who want to be actors..."

"To put it another way, I'm clearly sacrificing my personal reputation to usher in a golden age for the entertainment industry, allowing it to flourish and achieve new heights!"

Looking at Li Zhou, who was speaking eloquently, Xu Qingyi clicked her tongue in amazement: "You used to at least keep things a little secret, but now you have absolutely no shame."

Li Zhou disagreed: "Nonsense. I was only photographed by paparazzi because I wasn't hiding myself from people."

"Fortunately, I don't have to hide it from anyone anymore. Whoever takes a picture and posts it online will increase my popularity."

Xu Qingyi could only shake her head repeatedly: "You're hopeless."

"Why did God have to give you a succubus face? It really proves the saying, 'Evil lives on for a thousand years'..."

Li Zhou promptly shut up and remained silent.

It must be said that Xu Qingyi came from a very good family and was well-informed from a young age. She never looked down on someone like Li.

Otherwise, at her early twenties, if she really got angry, she might even want to throw all those seven or eight kinds of things directly into the Pearl River...

...

……

Although Li Zhou took the initiative to call and explain, Wang Xiaofei, the content supervisor of Taobao and head of one of its studios, was not happy.

It's worth noting that Wang Xiaofei was the one who actively invited Li Zhou to play the male lead in this S+ drama.

He really thought highly of Li Zhou's face and his performance in the drama.

The result was such a clean rejection.

After a moment's thought, Wang Xiaofei muttered casually, "It would be best if he really wasn't confident in his acting skills..."

Given his status and position, he certainly didn't have the actual ability to influence Li Zhou's resources, but...

It's easy to stir up some drama in the industry by simply spreading a few words.

Since it was already clear that they would not cooperate, and all his enthusiasm had been wasted, Wang Xiaofei certainly wouldn't hold back his displeasure.

It was noon, so the news became gossip among the top circles of the industry within two minutes...

"Really? That iQiyi's S+ drama offered Li Zhou the lead role but he turned it down?"

"It should be true. After careful consideration, Taoyuan asked the production team for a sky-high salary of 2800 million, but Li Zhou rejected it in the end."

"There are rumors that Li Zhou felt he wasn't confident about playing the lead role, so he politely declined the production team's offer."

"..."

The news naturally reached Shen Junyi's ears very quickly.

After listening to his agent, Lao Huang, explain in detail the news that was currently only circulating in a very small circle, he felt terrible.

What does "什么叼" mean?

The production team has already proactively invited the male lead? Why am I still in communication with them?

Putting that aside, Shen Junyi pondered for a long time before asking, "Even 2800 million couldn't persuade him?"

"Maybe..." Old Huang didn't know the specifics either, but this was indeed a reasonable guess. "Maybe he really doesn't want to act right now."

Shen Junyi muttered to himself, "Why is that...?"

Old Huang: "..."

Why else could it be? Because he's always had a very good business schedule.

Everyone in the industry knows that Li Zhou has an overwhelming number of acting offers, but he simply can't find the time.

Popular celebrities want to participate in S and S+ projects because they want to increase their commercial value, but Li Zhou doesn't lack resources in this area.

Why waste your energy acting and suffering for it?

It's not like you can become a hit just by acting in a movie or TV series.

These days, appearing in movies and TV series often results in a bloodbath.

...

……

.........

Just at noon, Li Zhou returned to his residence in Zhujiang New Town.

It is a newly built commercial and residential hotel-style mansion.

The room is located on the 27th floor at a corner, and the advertised view is a 270-degree panoramic view.

Three bedrooms, two living rooms, 180 square meters, listed price 1800 million.

As Li Zhou sat down on the living room sofa, Yang Sisi, who had followed him in, quickly arranged for lunch to be brought over.

Li Zhou hardly needed to worry about anything related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Assistant Yang Sisi will do a very good job.

Within two minutes, Li Zhou was eating the meal that had been packed from a nearby five-star hotel.

During Li Zhou's meal, Yang Sisi brought up a recent piece of gossip from within the entertainment industry.

There's talk in the industry that Li complained about the 2800 million yuan salary being too low, and people are criticizing Li for being ungrateful...

Finally, Yang Sisi concluded: "...It is now basically certain that it was Wang Xiaofei, the content supervisor of Taobao, who actively leaked the news."

Li Zhou: "..."

After a moment's thought, he wasn't particularly surprised.

In his past life, Li had seen many instances of people turning their love into hatred because they were politely rejected.

The other person will usually say... "I just want to help you like everyone else, even if you just glance at me, it's fine if we don't add each other on WeChat."

There's a 25% chance of triggering a subsequent outburst of rage... "Li Zhou, you deserve to be an orphan, you deserve to have a bunch of ex-girlfriends!"

All of the above is because Li Zhou selectively accepts high-quality temporary job opportunities found by her seniors and juniors.

However, in reality, Li Zhou has a very good reputation for making friends; people are almost proud to be his ex-girlfriends...

Then, Li Zhou made arrangements: "Have the team use this incident to find a way to market the negative buzz surrounding 'Li Zhou acting like a diva'."

Yang Sisi agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Her core responsibility as an assistant has always been to relay information promptly, without her having to worry about whether the task is feasible.

Because, from the past to the present, Xu Qingyi has always paid direct attention to core matters concerning Li Zhou's career planning, risk management, and so on.

After a brief pause, Li Zhou instructed, "Also, have the company find a few young actresses who want to act in modern urban dramas..."

"They could be colleagues, but they must have acting experience, outstanding looks, and a desire to become a top star..."

Li Zhou has already chosen his first original TV series project on Blue Star...
