Not only does it have top designer artworks and trendy Madison Avenue restaurants, it also has the three-Michelin-starred Mark Restaurant.

It is therefore affectionately called the 'Post-Modern Era Hotel' by its beloved customers.

When single men and women meet in a hotel restaurant, there will be an ambiguous atmosphere.

But this did not exist between the Hearst sisters and Li Zhenyu. In order to avoid creating such an awkward atmosphere, Li Zhenyu even brought a female companion with him.

It's better to be cautious. It would not be good if rumors of a king and two queens were spread.

You know what's the worst?

He clearly did nothing, but he was accused of a crime.

Li Zhenyu doesn't like this, he prefers to be realistic.

Therefore, it is better not to cause any scandals for the time being.

"Lydia…Amanda, good afternoon."

Monica pulled out a chair for him. Li Zhenyu took his seat and greeted the two of them. He introduced them, "Monica Bellucci. I think I don't need to introduce her identity in detail."

“You were in Hollywood?”

Lydia just glanced at Monica and ignored her.

Amanda, on the other hand, took the initiative to congratulate her: "Congratulations on getting the role of Bond girl."

Monica smiled elegantly: "Thank you. Actually, this is not something worth celebrating."

There has always been a rumor in Hollywood that anyone who plays a Bond girl will have their career plummet from its peak.

After the heat has passed, it will completely become a small character that no one cares about.

Therefore, only those actresses who need to give it a try will bet their careers and future on it.

Monica Bellucci is obviously among them. She has great fame but no resources.

He can only act in some so-called "art films" to barely maintain the glamorous life of a star.

In fact, the biggest concern for Monica right now is the public's positioning of her role.

Simply put, in the eyes of the film producers and the audience, there is nothing to watch if the ball flower does not take off her clothes, but once she does, she will be restricted and can only become a niche restricted film.

It is impossible for her to really go into the adult entertainment industry and benefit the public, so she is in this awkward situation where she is neither up nor down.

She needs an opportunity, a chance to let the audience get to know her again.

Instead of just using her body and beauty as a placebo to help you sleep at night.

The toilet paper manufacturers should pay her.

Amanda and Monica hit it off immediately and chatted about entertainment, gossip, luxury brands, and all kinds of information related to the fashion forefront.

Li Zhenyu asked Lydia what the important matter was.

"Li, are you interested in working with the Hearst Group?"

"Hurst, what can we cooperate on?"

Could it be that Hearst is going to promote its own K-POP? Li Zhenyu was amused by his own idea.

How could this happen?

"Someone wants to interview you. To be more precise, they want to do an exclusive interview with you."

"for what?"

Li Zhenyu's mind skipped over possibilities one after another.

"Lz."

Li Zhenyu's thoughts coincided with what the other party said.

After thinking about it, this is the most likely answer, and the author's identity has been exposed.

As a new author who wrote a best-selling book like "Fifty Shades of Grey", it is natural that she will attract attention from the media and fans.

In particular, the fans of this book are almost all housewives.

Where is the easiest way to make money in this world?

woman.

Some people would say it’s the children, but who spends the children’s money? 90 percent of it is still women.

Lz is the person who owns a "money printing factory".

"What good will this do me?"

"Fame, social status, civic recognition and attention, wealth."

These are things that ordinary people cannot obtain, but Li Zhenyu can get them just by nodding his head.

But he seemed to be lacking interest, as if he was about to fall asleep from boredom.

"That's not enough to interest you...what do you want?"

“You know, in my country, the three words Li Zhenyu mean everything you said.”

"So, the conditions you offer are not attractive to me at all."

Giving her a few seconds to digest the information, Li Zhenyu continued, "However, there is one thing that I am very interested in."

He wanted to use Hearst's huge news media network to promote his upcoming "All-Star Single."

"A song?"

"Yes, an anti-war themed song."

Lydia had a playful expression and jokingly said, "I didn't know you were a pacifist."

“Peace is also a business. Only those who can make this business a success are the real winners.”

Lydia was very interested to hear him compare 'peace' to business.

However, what she wanted to know now was whose war this so-called "anti-war" theme song was against.

As she thought, Li Zhenyu's creative inspiration indeed came from the US-Iraq War.

"Blaming the government is the public's favorite part. But you don't worry about your development here. I think the CIA has already contacted you."

Under the illusion of freedom, discrimination is everywhere.

A foreigner with great influence and huge wealth, who can come and go freely in American territory.

How is it possible without the CIA's approval?

“I think the public will support me.”

"Well, if you insist, Hearst can promote it for you."

Amanda, who was chatting endlessly with Monica, suddenly interrupted and said, "The premise is that it is good enough."

Li Zhenyu glanced at Lidya, who pointed to the side casually: "Don't look at me, she is the one who can make the decision."

"Of course, Hearst's favor is not something you can get easily."

Li Zhenyu gave an affirmative answer and he had enough confidence in "One Day".

"Hearst invested in BuzzFeed last year. What do you think about running a special issue on it?"

BuzzFeed, the American version of Toutiao, is the originator of viral communication.

Although the emergence of Facebook and Twitter has caused its upward trend to decline significantly, it is still the most popular online social news media platform in the United States.

“I want the overall reach of Hearst, not a small website that it invested in.”

Li Zhenyu didn't know much about BuzzFeed, but he had seen the name in Twitter's report.

Twitter's analytics team commented on it as, 'It's a good idea, but its potential is limited.'

All of BuzzFeed’s content comes from other platforms, and it produces very little content itself.

It is more like a middleman who collects many news media hot spots and delivers them precisely.

Such websites will grow rapidly in the early stages of the industry and appear promising.

But once the economy goes into a downturn, industry development enters a bottleneck period, and competition intensifies, these middlemen are often the first to die.

Because by that time, the price of getting "hot spots" from various companies would be an astronomical price that he could not afford.

Men also need surprises and a sense of ritual! (End of this chapter)
