I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 257 Hope Primary School is built, bring you a handful of soil, sell bamboo umbrellas
Lian Baozhi was previously a first-tier star thanks to variety show reviews.

She had come into contact with many idol groups before, most of which were second- and third-tier and their strength was not that good.

Some of the singers I met were really good, while others were just fake.

This made her always feel that "idol = lack of ability".

But after seeing Xi Mengze and Jinli's live performance today, she realized that she was wrong, and very wrong.

There are people with strong abilities, but they don't have a good opportunity or channel to display their abilities, and instead are overtaken by those who seek to gain attention through showmanship.

To be honest, she herself is also one of those who seeks to attract attention, but it is not too late to realize this now.

Lian Baozhi let out a long breath and turned to look at the scenery outside the car window.

She is still young and she can get up again.

If there is no announcement, then she will try hard to create one.

If fate doesn't favor her, then she will fight for herself and create a way out!

Lian Baozhi said: "Sister Shan, I plan to stay close to Li Xunfang when I participate in the variety show tomorrow and interact with her more. If Li Xunfang can't hold back, she will probably be photographed hating me. We must seize this opportunity."

Lu Shanjie patted her shoulder gently and said, "I'm glad you can figure it out. Now is not the time to save face."

……

We can't fly together when we come here, but we can when we go back.

Jinli stayed in Xi Mengze's lounge for a while, and Chen Qin reminded her that she could take a car to the airport.

When she stood up to clean up, Xi Mengze also stood up and cleaned up together.

Jinli asked doubtfully, "Are you leaving too? Why don't you stay for a few days?"

Xi Mengze smiled and said, "Yes, I asked your assistant for your flight and bought a seat next to you so we can go back together.

I won't play anymore. If I continue playing, my agent will get annoyed with me. I've already had enough of playing around these days after flying here for rehearsals. It's just right for me to go back with you and chat."

Jinli's smile became even brighter, "Okay!"

Life on the crew may seem exciting, but it is actually very monotonous. There are not many opportunities to communicate with the outside world, and the only thing one can access is the online world.

However, in order to stay calm and get into the right state during the performance, actors often disconnect from the Internet.

Even if I stay connected to the Internet, I won’t browse the information online too much for fear of being affected.

Being an actor is a very emotionally sensitive profession.

Not long after they went out, they met March Tian who also went out. The corridor was quiet with only the sound of the luggage wheels rolling.

Xi Mengze turned around and saw Yan Xingdong. His eyes lit up and he waved at him.

Yan Xingdong also nodded at her, quickly pushed the luggage up, came to Xi Mengze, and asked: "Are you guys flying back too? Which flight?"

Xi Mengze mentioned an airport, and Yan Xingdong said, "What a coincidence, I'm going to this airport too."

Xi Mengze: "What a coincidence?"

She saw Gu Cheng and suddenly understood: "You bought it with Gu Cheng, right? Gu Cheng and Jinli have to film tomorrow and have to fly back tonight."

Yan Xingdong: "Yes, so you bought it with Jinli?"

Xi Mengze: "Yes, I want to chat with her. We haven't seen each other for more than a month. Even though we are in the same company, the chances of meeting each other are still rare."

Yan Xingdong and Xi Mengze walked side by side and chatted: "We are not looking for Gu Cheng to chat. We have something important to discuss with him. We want to discuss the filming of the next episode of "Leisure Slow Life"."

Gu Cheng walked up to Jinli and talked to her about the performance. He was surprised at her physical condition and asked, "Has your body become very good, like that of an ordinary person?"

Jinli shook her head: "No, I'm still a little weaker than a normal person, but I can concentrate my strength a little bit. I can handle one or two performances, but not more."

The friends all had people to chat with, so Chen Lin and Luo Yi automatically joined a group and walked to the back of the team.

Chen Lin looked up and glanced at the two couples in front of him, and quietly asked Luo Yi: "Do you feel that the atmosphere between these two couples is a bit weird?"

Luo Yi asked: "What atmosphere?"

Chen Lin groaned: "The atmosphere of good friends?"

Luo Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Your practice is not enough. Open your eyes wider and try harder."

Chen Lin sighed: "I don't know what Sister Zhenzhu is doing. I want to invite her to play games. She is very good at stealing towers!"

Luo Yi glanced at him and said, "Do you know what the atmosphere between you and Sister Pearl is like?"

Chen Lin was curious: "What?"

Luo Yi: "The line puppy is spinning around online asking for love."

Chen Lin: ???
He didn't know what Luo Yi said, but he felt it was not a good thing, so he jumped and pressed his head in his arms.

Just as a group of people walked out of the passage, they were greeted by a flash of lights, and several of them were photographed by the paparazzi.

This photo was posted by paparazzi. The highlight is not that Jinli, Xi Mengze chatted enthusiastically with Gu Cheng and Yan Xingdong of Marchday, and they looked close, but that -

[Luo Yi and Chen Lin are real! ! The elder brother dotes on his younger brother! It’s such a great atmosphere, isn’t it? So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! ]
……

After Jinli returned to the crew, everything was calm.

The turmoil on the Internet does not affect here. Even if the staff in the crew see some news, they will not be foolish enough to look for celebrities to verify it.

What is the identity of a celebrity and what is their identity?
Even if you are in the same crew, it doesn't mean you can have a good relationship with the star.

A lot of things happened outside of filming.

A few years ago, Want Want Live held a charity auction and sold March Day’s Jade God of Wealth at a sky-high price. Combined with the auction items of other celebrities, a total of more than 70 million yuan in donations were received.

Want Want Live has set up a special project team, which does not even take a break during the Chinese New Year, just to make sure that the donations will be used.

The original plan was to build only one Hope Primary School, but it turned into building two, the other one being a Hope Middle School, both of which need to be equipped with corresponding teaching resources and equipment.

Originally, only the most basic facilities could be arranged, but with huge funding, the facilities can be built in accordance with provincial standards.

In addition, charity lunches, dinners, scholarships, etc. are all provided in one go without the need for additional fundraising.

Maybe charity is addictive.

This is a bit like shopping, both make people spend money like water. The feeling of money being emptied in an instant is a relief.

Therefore, after the construction of the first Hope Primary School started, Want Want Live announced that it would make charitable donations every year to donate to the schools to be built.

The senior management of Want Want Live was excited and thought that in addition to giving rural children the opportunity to get an education, they also hoped that they could have a better education, so they decided to spend a lot of money to hire outstanding teachers.

This is a privately established school. Unlike public schools, private schools can generously adopt some incentive dividends.

Want Want Live is willing to allow teachers to participate in teaching dividends. For every college student they teach, they can receive corresponding bonus incentives.

This is an unspoken understanding in the industry, and Want Want did not elaborate on this aspect.

However, some well-informed people had already received the news through other places and called on their relatives who were studying in the education industry to give it a try.

Under the charm of money, the first Hope Primary School specially sponsored by Want Want Live was built in just three months.

The construction team worked throughout the Chinese New Year period, only taking one day off on the Spring Festival.

As soon as this one was completed, people were immediately drawn to the second middle school without wasting any time.

On the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Hope Primary School specially invited March Day to witness the ceremony.

The school was completed so quickly, which had a lot to do with the Jade God of Wealth donated by March Day.

This activity was very meaningful. Even Gu Cheng, who was still working hard in the crew, did not refuse and specially asked Director Yan for a day off.

At this point, "Assassination" has come to the end of the second part. The enemies have been dealt with one by one, and the inside stories from many years ago have gradually been revealed.

The plot is getting more and more exciting, with climaxes one after another. Director Yan's requirements for the crew are getting stricter day by day, loose on the outside but tight on the inside.

Gu Cheng suddenly asked for leave, and Yan Jianqiao was not happy at first.

But when he heard that the Hope Primary School sponsored by Want Want Live had been built and that March Day had been invited to cut the ribbon, Yan Jianqiao let them go without saying a word.

"You told me earlier because of this matter. I promised you yesterday. This is a good thing. Don't waste time. Go early and come back early."

After Director Yan finished speaking, he kicked Gu Cheng out of the room because he still had to draw the storyboards.

Gu Cheng returned to the aisle helplessly.

He actually wanted to discuss the plot with the director. He felt that there was a place where Gu Nian De did not do well and it could be revised.

"Gu Cheng, why are you here? Did you have trouble asking the director for leave?"

Jinli also came to the aisle and asked curiously.

She had made an appointment with Director Yan to visit him at 7pm to discuss the plot line.

Gu Cheng said: "When the director heard that it was the school's delivery and ribbon-cutting ceremony, he immediately agreed and even kicked me out, but I still wanted to discuss the plot with him."

Jinli smiled and said, "It's such a simple thing. You come in with me. You had an important part tomorrow, but you suddenly wanted to take a leave. The director is probably also worried about the teasing. Let's discuss it."

Gu Cheng had exactly the same idea.

Back to the director's room, with Jinli accompanying him, Yan Jianqiao said nothing.

The three of them efficiently determined tomorrow's scenes, as well as what role Gu Cheng would take over when he returned the day after tomorrow.

After the discussion, Jinli left with Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng asked, "Is there anything you want when I go there this time?"

Jinli's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at Gu Cheng, feeling that he was making small talk.

Schools are built in mountain villages, what can there be?
Could it be possible to ask him to bring back some mountain products?
Thinking of this, Jinli couldn't help but smile. Not to mention, if she really made this request to Gu Cheng, he would probably agree, but he still wouldn't bother him.

Jinli shook her head and said softly, "There's nothing I want. Please pay attention to your safety."

Gu Cheng didn't continue with this topic, but turned to studying and sent Jinli to her door.

After Jinli went in, Gu Cheng suddenly said, "Why don't I bring you some soil from school?"

Jinli didn't react, "What soil?"

Gu Cheng: "Wangwang Live has invited all the celebrities who donated to come and cut the ribbon, and will also broadcast it live simultaneously. You were supposed to go too.

It's a pity that you can't ask for leave because the crew is busy with filming. I shouldn't ask for leave either, but this school was built so quickly, and Marchday put in a lot of effort, but it's not okay to leave."

His eyes became brighter and brighter, like the bright stars in the sky: “So I’ll bring you some soil from school.

I won’t bring the ribbon for the ribbon-cutting ceremony as we cut it into pieces, but I can bring you some soil from school.

Just think of it as if you have come to that piece of land. This is Hope Primary School. I think the soil there must also be pregnant with hope.”

Jinli stared at him for several seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter and said softly:

"Silly boy, no matter where the soil is, it breeds hope. But if you have time, please bring me some. You are right. Just consider it as me having been to that land."

……

On the day when Gu Cheng went to Hope Primary School, Dong Junmin's small shop, which inherited the intangible cultural heritage - bamboo umbrellas, was suddenly flipped over by Jinli on her blog and liked.

Jinli had ordered the bamboo umbrella during the Chinese New Year, and it was kept in the express cabinet outside the apartment until it was delivered after express delivery resumed after the Chinese New Year.

Chen Qin went to the apartment for Jinli yesterday and got some daily necessities. She also picked up the express for her and brought it to the crew.

When Jinli saw the bamboo umbrella, she quickly remembered the netizen named "Dong Junmin".

At the beginning, she thought that intangible cultural heritage was not easy to inherit, so she supported him and placed an order.

Bamboo umbrellas are not cheap. Dong Junmin sells them for 500 yuan each in his online store, and that’s just the basic model.

Jinli bought a fine model that cost one thousand yuan.

Now that she had received the goods, Jinli held it in her hand and examined it carefully. From her point of view, the craftsmanship of this umbrella was amazing.

This is handmade, not machine-made. From some subtle details, you can see that some of the sharp edges of the umbrella have been carefully polished.

Because they are all made of bamboo, some patterns are carved on the umbrella surface with a carving knife. Even the handle at the grip has dragon and phoenix carvings, which feels solid and beautiful to hold.

She also received a letter written by Dong Junmin.

Of course, I got the printed version.

The general meaning is to thank every customer who buys an umbrella and thank them for contributing to the bamboo umbrella shop.

Jinli held an umbrella and walked around the crew to try out the feeling.

Chen Qin exclaimed: "This umbrella is so beautiful when it is opened, but can it really keep out the rain?"

Jinli: "Of course, bamboo umbrellas have been passed down for thousands of years, and the craftsmanship was already very perfect in ancient times. If it leaks, it means it was not made with care."

The sun is out today and the temperature has risen, but under the umbrella, I can feel the cool shade effect.

The stagehand came running over and shouted, "Jinli, the director is looking for you."

Jinli walked over holding an umbrella.

Even the stagehand looked at the bamboo umbrella several times and said to Chen Qin behind him: "What kind of umbrella is that? Is it a prop from the crew? It's pretty."

Chen Qin shook her head: "No, Sister Jinli bought the bamboo umbrella herself, woven by hand, and used intangible cultural heritage techniques."

The stagehand smiled and said, "I told you, the people in the props group are not so clever and skillful. This umbrella is so beautiful. Can you help me get a link from Sister Jinli? I want to buy one too."

Chen Qin said cheerfully: "Okay!"

Jinli walked slowly towards them holding a bamboo umbrella. She was wearing the costume of an art teacher provided by the crew. Combined with her pure character, the costume was mostly made of flowing silk fabrics.

The combination of the two gives it the gentle beauty of the Jiangnan water towns.

After Yan Jianqiao finished discussing the subsequent scenes with her, he took another look at the umbrella in her hand and said casually:

"You look very pretty in this outfit. When the time comes, hold this umbrella in the rain and trample those bad guys under your feet."

Jinli replied in surprise: "Didn't you say you were going to use a black umbrella?"

Yan Jianqiao: "That was my original plan. After all, a black umbrella is solemn and dignified. But I suddenly thought, isn't it interesting that you wear this outfit with a bamboo umbrella and use the most innocent face to do revenge?"

Jinli thought for a while and said, "Let's shoot two versions and see which one works best."

Yan Jianqiao: “Okay.”

It doesn't take much to shoot two or three more scenes, even if it's wasted, it's still a waste of Jinli's time.

After finishing work in the evening, Jinli returned to the hotel to rest and saw the umbrella in the corner.

So I opened my phone, logged into the blog, forwarded the link to Dong Junmin's online store, and gave it a thumbs up.

Jinli: [I received the goods, the workmanship is very good (picture.jpg)]
On the other side, Dong Junmin was reading business books in the school library, such as "The First Time Doing Business", "Losses in Business", "100 Skills You Must Learn to Do Business"...

The more he read, the more worried he became. He put the book down and rubbed his forehead.

When the online store first opened, it could sell two or three swords a day. Now, it hasn’t sold a single sword in half a month. Business has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Every customer who bought the bamboo umbrella gave it a positive review, but the high price still kept people away.

Although this is done for fun during the winter vacation, learning skills from a master, shooting videos, preparing an online store, and releasing new products...which one of these does not consume energy?
When doing anything, I am afraid of not having a sense of accomplishment.

Dong Junmin now feels that his enthusiasm has been exhausted. He has tried many methods in the past half month, but he has not been able to sell a single umbrella.

Maybe he should close the online store?
