Since Cen Yu'an and Zhu Yuan's conversation revolved around how to help newcomers quickly rise to prominence in the entertainment industry, Le Xi and the two young male celebrities that Zhu Yuan was mentoring could also participate in the discussion.

The two people this time are about the same level of fame in the entertainment industry as the one last time. They were both promoted by Zhuyuan using similar methods and resources.

That's why I came here fully armed today, just in case someone takes a picture of me.

Actually, what Cen Yu'an wanted to say was that the weather in April wasn't cold at all, and was even a bit hot.

I understand why you wear sunglasses when you go out.

Wearing masks and jackets, are you afraid passersby won't know you're celebrities?

It's okay to be photographed, as long as it doesn't cause a commotion.

Gossip reporters usually ask celebrity agents for money after taking photos, and Zhuyuan has the money to solve their problems.

After the meal, Cen Yu'an had a pretty good understanding of the unspoken rules of the Chinese entertainment industry.

The two also suggested that Lexi could follow them on the Dayan platform, and they would help promote her new drama.

They had already come up with a reason: they said they would just pretend to be Lexi's fans.

Because the public's standards for female celebrities are higher than those for male celebrities.

If a female celebrity has close relationships with many male celebrities, haters will call her a "womanizer," "despicable," and so on.

Female fans of male celebrities are also less likely to accept their idols getting close to women.

However, when someone says they are their own idol, fans are much more forgiving of their idol's idol.

This will also increase Lexi's social standing.

It was truly kind of them to do this, and Cen Yu'an and Le Xi both thanked them very sincerely first.

One of them, Zhou Zhou, said that Zhu Yuan had given him a second chance at life, and he would take good care of Zhu Yuan's friends.

Of course, they had also overheard Cen Yu'an and Zhu Yuan's conversation. They naturally wanted to curry favor with a boss who was even more powerful than Zhu Yuan.

From what they were saying, it seemed like the boss liked girls or something, so they figured they had no chance.

But who cares? We're still relying on Zhuyuan, so it's worth it to provide some value to our sugar daddy.

They quickly finalized their plan.

Upon learning that Le Xi could play the guqin and perform sword dance, they quickly came up with a ready-made reason.

After that, I first looked for an opportunity to follow C09 and Lexi's Douyin accounts, then spent a few days in their live streams, sending Lexi gifts and praising her performance.

Finally, I'll openly promote my "idol" on my own Big Eyes platform one last time.

In the future, they can directly help promote Lexi's dramas, so fans won't feel awkward.

As a new generation of actors, they have around 1000 million fans.

While it cannot be guaranteed that all of them are rational fans, for Lexi, this can be considered a kind of expansion into new circles.

Some fans who already follow both the entertainment industry and live streaming groups are surprised to find that even celebrities watch Lexi's live streams, and they think Lexi is amazing.

It can be considered a type of diversion-type solidification powder.

Of course, these are just minor details; getting to know more people in the entertainment industry won't hurt Lexi.

More importantly, it's what Zhuyuan called "capital".

The entertainment industry isn't something you can just do out of passion. Without connections or resources, you'll often be replaced in roles without warning.

Even after filming begins, the investors can simply add a female lead on the spot, forcing the original female lead to either leave or become a supporting character.

Endorsements go without saying; top-tier luxury brand endorsements are not something ordinary celebrities can get. Even for second-tier brands, it depends on the number of fans.

Having a large following is one thing, but you still have to guard against being sabotaged.

It all boils down to one word: money.

This was simple for Cen Yu'an, but it required a lot of effort.

Zhou Zhou and his team at least have a company and agents, and with Zhu Yuan acting as a go-between, many things can be accomplished.

But Le Xi is still in the broadcasting department, and Shengshi Film and Television Department doesn't care about her or assign her a dedicated agent.

So it's relatively more troublesome.

Zhu Yuan introduced one of her acquaintances' agents directly to Cen Yu'an:

"It's not a big deal. This person has made a few international stars, so she owes me a favor. I asked her to help you out, her 'little sister.' As for the IP she's interested in, just pay for it, and I guarantee it'll be a hit!"

That's good, but we still need to talk to Shengshi about it.

It would be best if Lexi could adjust her livestreaming and filming schedules. Also, it would be helpful if the film and television department could lend a hand.

Then the only option is to have Lexi re-sign her contract. Otherwise, no matter how many achievements you make as a member of the broadcasting department, the film and television department won't benefit from it, so why would they help you?

It might be easier if Cen Yu'an personally helps Le Xi talk to him later.

After the meal, the activities that Zhu Yuan and her friends did were not suitable for children.

Cen Yu'an and Le Xi went for a walk on the beach.

A gentle evening breeze blows, and the sand on the beach is soft enough for early summer.

The two walked to the beach, where many people were gathering seafood with flashlights, shovels, pliers, and buckets.

This activity is suitable for children.

Cen Yu'an found a local and bought his shovel and bucket at a high price, and went digging with Le Xi.

Beachcombing is an incredibly exciting treasure hunt!

As the tide recedes, the beach near the shore transforms into a mysterious and alluring treasure trove, hiding all sorts of amazing finds.

The first thing that catches the eye is those colorful and uniquely shaped seashells.

Occasionally they would encounter a few large crabs, but the man from before refused to sell his claws, and Cen Yu'an and Le Xi didn't dare to catch them with their bare hands. They could only watch the crabs crawl away from them and be caught by the people next to them.

I saw several children gathered around a few piles, digging with shovels, and then I heard a gasp.

Le Xi pulled Cen Yu'an and ran over. Sure enough, they dug up a lot of sea snails.

They are either small and exquisite, like delicate handicrafts; or enormous, like ancient horns.

Lexi grew up in an inland city and had never seen anything like this before. She was incredibly excited to see the sea for the first time in Yangshi.

But after that, I passed by the coastline every day on my way to work, so it wasn't anything special anymore.

But this was my first time going beachcombing.

Is it really that interesting?

She decided to order two complete sets of beachcombing tools as soon as she got back, and that she would come with Sister Xiaoyu again next time.

We should also wear rubber boots like them and go down to catch some big crabs.

Today, all I can do is learn from these kids how to dig in the sand.

After only a few shovelfuls, they unearthed several large seashells, each one bigger than a person's face.

However, the colors are rather limited, all being a pale white.

A little girl nearby, accompanied by her mother, ran over and asked Cen Yu'an and Le Xi:

"Sister, I haven't found a big seashell today. Can I trade these two small red seashells for one?"

The little girl is so cute, of course you can.
