"After the New Year, would you be interested in spending some time in Sangzhou?"

Zhao Wenyao looked at Lin Rui with anticipation.

"No."

Lin Rui shook his head.

Just kidding, he's doing just fine in Xiazhou, why would he go to Sangzhou for no reason?

Furthermore, Sangzhou has a somewhat unique geographical location, separated by a sea that is the territory of the floating island nation. Unless a dedicated international air route is opened, one must take a long detour through Taizhou, Fazhou, and Nanzhou to fly to Sangzhou.

This flight alone takes more than ten hours. Are they just bored?

Furthermore, Lin Rui doesn't want to neglect his important work after the New Year as he will be focusing his energy on filming "The Legend of 1900".

"Do you perhaps plan to go directly to Lizhou after you've been promoted to a prominent position?"

Zhao Wenyao frowned slightly: "This is actually the choice of most people, but it also has a drawback: it's easy to fall behind the pace of Lizhou."

Lin Rui listened politely as always.

He felt that this guy was really overthinking things; he had absolutely no intention of going to Lizhou.

He had no idea what the situation was in Lizhou, so how could he talk about getting things done in one step?

However, this is a good opportunity to find out about Lizhou.

Lin Rui realized that Zhao Wenyao was a complete chatterbox. As long as he pretended to be a well-behaved student listening attentively, this guy would definitely tell him everything he knew.

"My understanding of Lizhou is still rather limited. I wonder if Teacher Zhao could..."

"I am unworthy of the title 'teacher,' I dare not accept it. Fusheng, I am a few years older than you, just call me Brother Zhao."

Don't say it.

Zhao Wenyao was extremely pleased to be addressed as "Teacher Zhao," and was in a great mood: "I visited Lizhou once in my younger days. If the entertainment industry in other states is stagnant now, then Lizhou is paradise on earth!"

"Of course, the prerequisite for developing in Lizhou is to have the qualifications of a celebrity."

"It's no longer a competition between states; you can think of it this way: Lizhou is a battlefield between nations!"

"Cultural warfare".

At that moment, Zhao Wenyao's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Only artists who have visited Lizhou can truly appreciate its indescribable cultural atmosphere.

"At that time, I had just become a celebrity and got used to being flattered. Over time, I also became blindly arrogant."

"It wasn't until I went to Lizhou that I realized I was just a foolish frog in a well."

"From that moment on, I secretly vowed to become a celebrity and then go to Lizhou to make a name for myself!"

Zhao Wenyao became more and more excited as he spoke.

Lin Rui asked curiously, "Is the cultural competition in Lizhou very fierce?"

"fierce?"

Zhao Wenyao shook his head and said seriously, "My biggest feeling can be summed up in one word: fight!"

"Celebrities are vying for it, people from all walks of life are vying for it, and even government officials are vying for it!"

Even celebrities can suffer serious setbacks if they are not careful. But as long as they don't die, they can reap rich rewards.

"In Lizhou, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded!"

Seeing Lin Rui deep in thought, Zhao Wenyao smiled slightly, stood up, and gently patted Lin Rui's shoulder.

"Fusheng, I have high hopes for you and look forward to your future performance."

"I hope that one day we can fight side by side in Lizhou."

After saying that, Zhao Wenyao left.

As soon as he left, people immediately extended olive branches to him.

Zhao Wenyao then went to that table and started talking to the man and woman.

Compared to Fu Sheng, who has just been promoted to a first-tier celebrity, Zhao Wenyao, who is about to ascend to the throne of celebrities, is clearly more worthy of this group of people's friendship.

Fu Sheng still shows unlimited potential, but potential is full of too many variables. In terms of importance, it is far less than Zhao Wenyao, who is already a sure thing to enter the ranks of celebrities.

What these celebrities need are not reserve personnel with unlimited potential, but immediate combat power like Zhao Wenyao who can be deployed to the battlefield immediately.

Of course, some celebrities did try to strike up a conversation with Lin Rui, but the topics they discussed were mostly trivial.

At this time, many people received the message.

Lin Rui naturally received it as well; it was sent by Xu Hongzhuo.

"Go to the 16th floor of the hotel immediately for a meeting."
