I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 74: Sales volume explodes, the battle for talent, this terrifying sense of crisis

Until the end of the second dance.

The Marchday boy band returned to the backstage to remove their makeup and ended this announcement. Yan Xingdong was still upset about what Gu Cheng had said before.

While Gu Cheng was going to the bathroom, Yan Xingdong couldn't help but complain to his teammates.

"Five hundred kilograms of tangerines. What's wrong with him? Why did he buy so many? Can one person finish them all?"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "That's why I placed the order with you, so that we can all share some."

Yan Xingdong: "Even the four of us can't share all 500 kilograms."

Chen Lin was surprisingly perceptive this time: "Then I know why the oranges were ordered to your house, because your house is closest to the company, so it is convenient to take the oranges to the company for distribution."

Yan Xingdong: ...

He said earnestly: "Xiao Lin, you are not smart when you should be smart, but you hurt me when you shouldn't be smart."

Luo Yi patted Yan Xingdong on the shoulder and said, "Please be considerate. Gu Cheng is still in adolescence.

Besides, men always have some bad days every month."

Yan Xingdong complained: "You are not much older than him, why do you make it sound like you have seen a lot?"

Luo Yi shrugged and said with emotion: "Looking at Gu Cheng and the youngest, I already feel that I am old. I don't have as much trouble as they do."

……

Jinli here.

The live broadcast continues.

The live broadcast started at 3:20 in the afternoon. Mao Zhua didn't dare to let Jinli broadcast for a long time this time.

Every hour, someone would come and ask her to rest for ten or twenty minutes.

If Jinli refuses to rest, Maozhua will use persuasion.

Several employees came over one after another to persuade her to take a rest, and even Sister Fang followed suit to join in the fun - she didn't persuade them, she just served as a supporting role.

The employee whispered: "Jinli, Jinli, you should take a rest."

Sister Fang shouted: "That's right!"

The employee whispered: "Jinli, your health is the capital for your struggle."

Sister Fang shouted: "That's right!"

The employee whispered: "Jinli, rest is for the long-term future."

Sister Fang shouted: "That makes so much sense!"

Jinli: ...

She held her forehead helplessly and said, "Isn't it okay for her to divorce?"
She just felt that she could hold on for two hours before taking a break, and there was no need to rush for just one hour.

They are all too nervous!

Although it's a rest, it's impossible for Jinli to do nothing.

Instead of closing her eyes and waiting for her energy to slowly recover, she simply took out the five-three exercises and practiced them, so that her energy would recover faster.

While brushing her teeth, Jinli ran out of water to drink, so she picked up the cup to pour some water.

The layout of the live broadcast studio is very simple, and the water dispenser is placed outside the bathroom door.

She arrived at the door, and before she walked in, she heard some artists discussing.

"Jinli has absorbed all the popularity of the live broadcast. I am also broadcasting live, but my popularity is not as high as that of a small anchor. It is meaningless to participate in this announcement."

"Yeah, I saw so few people came today, and I thought we could share some of the attention, but I didn't expect Jinli to be here too. We are here to serve as supporting roles for her."

"Say less. This kind of public welfare project is not popular in the first place. It's good enough if someone watches it."

"Isn't this too tiring? The notice fee is so little, but there are so many things to do. It's fine if Jinli works hard on her own, but why do we have to work with her? I think the entire Chenxi Entertainment has to play supporting roles for Jinli!"

"Sister Jinli." He Yixuan walked over along the corridor, also holding a cup of water in her hand, asking for water.

When she came over, she just heard the last sentence and looked at Jinli nervously.

Jinli silently filled the cup with water, then put the lid on tightly and walked into the bathroom.

The artists were concentrating on putting on their makeup and didn't pay any attention.

You won’t know until you go in.

As soon as she entered, Jinli saw several Babagan oranges thrown on the ground as if to vent anger, like soft, rotten and dilapidated pits.

Jinli could no longer hold back her anger.

"If you have any complaints about me, you can tell the company and your agent not to participate in any announcements I invite you to, and don't appear on the same stage with me."

Her voice suddenly rang out, and everyone stopped what they were doing, a little panicked.

Why is Jinli here?

Did she hear all the discussions just now?
Jinli squatted down and picked up the smashed oranges.

"If you don't want to eat the fruit, you don't have to take it, but if you take it, don't waste it. We've been taught to 'love food' since kindergarten, right? Are you worse than a fish with a nine-leaky mouth?"

These artists are all from Chenxi Entertainment.

When she met Jinli in the company, she would greet him in a friendly manner. She had seen some artists so many times that Jinli could still remember their appearance.

They didn't dare to contradict Jinli.

When Jinli scolded them, they all lowered their heads and could not see Jinli's expression, and Jinli could not see their expressions either.

There was a moment of silence.

Jinli frowned, threw the rotten orange in her hand into the trash can, and left without looking back.

Even if you are arguing, someone has to join in the argument.

She is not the dean of studies, so it is enough for her to remind them here. What they do with the rest is their business.

After Jinli left, the artists breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone touched another person and asked, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"

The man said: "My popularity is low, and the company may not renew my contract next year, so there is no need to please Jinli.

I wanted to talk back, but I don’t know why, when I saw her angry, I felt a little scared, as if a noble person was going crazy.”

"Hey, I feel the same way. Jinli's aura is too strong!"

He Yixuan walked in.

There were a few artists in the group who had a decent relationship with her and were usually very friendly to her. I didn't expect them to join in the discussion.

She didn't continue what Jinli said, but said: "You guys should stop discussing, this is just a job. Since you have accepted the job, do it well and don't complain. Besides, Chenxi's price for us is not low."

He Yixuan paused, "You may not know, but Sister Jinli participates in live streaming for free, and she doesn't take any notice fee."

Others exclaimed.

"Free?"

"She's crazy, working so hard for nothing!"

No one doubted what He Yixuan said. After all, they had the same agent, so it was normal for them to know some information.

Some people sneered, "He Yixuan, don't be so quick to criticize us. You are the one who most hopes that Jinli will fall, right?"

He Yixuan frowned: "I'm just talking to you about work. Since you've accepted it, do it well. Those who have to get up at four or five in the morning to sweep the streets are all working hard. We are just live streaming to sell goods, which is far less hard than theirs."

"Okay, okay, you are a person of high moral character, you don't complain, you don't fight for anything.

People who don't know would think you have a very good relationship with Jinli.

But you were still thinking about the little notice in her hand, and you wanted to ask Sui Lingfang for it, but you were scolded by Sui Lingfang!"

Other artists are afraid of Jinli, but not He Yixuan.

If it were in the past, they might not have dared to compete with He Yixuan.

But it's different now.

"He Yixuan, Jinli said something about us, we admit it, she has the qualifications, but what qualifications do you have to say something about us?

Don’t forget, the reason why you can reach the second line is because all the high-quality notices we can get are allocated to you by the company!
We were all signed into the company in the same batch, and just because you are good at acting nice in front of your agent, you quickly rose to the top.

Others can criticize us, but you can’t. You can become the second-tier without the notice of everyone here!"

The artist who might terminate his contract next year is not afraid of He Yixuan at all, his mouth fires like a machine gun.

"You are devoted to Jinli. Does Jinli know that? Why don't you see Jinli helping you?"

He Yixuan was also angry, secretly clenched her fists, and said sarcastically: "What does it have to do with you? Besides, you won't see it even if I promote you!"

She turned around and quickly left the bathroom.

If we keep arguing, I feel like we might even end up fighting.

……

Today’s live streaming of goods has ended successfully!

Jinli guessed correctly, today's sales were three times that of yesterday.

Although the stock of Babagan oranges was not completely sold out during the live broadcasts over the past two days, there are not many left, and they can be sold online.

As soon as she got in the car, Sui Lingfang handed her a towel.

"Wipe your sweat. I see you're sweating all the time. But your body can't stand the air conditioning for a long time. The air conditioning in your area has been turned off. Can you still bear it?"

Jinli took the towel and wiped her neck first, then smiled and said, "Sister Fang, who can't stand the treatment I give you as a local emperor?
It’s fine that Mao Zhua was worried that I would faint again, but why did you join in the fun and urge me to take a break after broadcasting for an hour?

You know, even when I was recording "PICK~Next Stop Queen", I basically took a break every two hours, my body could handle it."

Sui Lingfang shook her head cautiously: "The intensity of the work is different. Variety shows don't require you to talk so much."

Seeing that Jinli was in good condition, she put her worries aside and said, "But since you mentioned variety shows, I have something to tell you.

You explicitly refused to film the fifth episode of "PICK~Next Station Queen", and other talent show production platforms have been inviting you to guest star as a mentor. "

Jinli shook her head: "Those talent shows have been filmed halfway, so forget about the guest appearance."

Sui Lingfang nodded: "I think so too, and it's not good to reject Penguin and then participate in other talent shows.

So those platforms came up with a new idea and wanted to invite you to be a mentor for next year’s talent show.”

"Next year?" Jinli was surprised.

"It's only April now, has the war for talent already begun?"

Sui Lingfang said helplessly: "Seeing that Penguin succeeded, I was jealous of the huge traffic, but you didn't pay attention to the follow-up of "PICK~Next Stop Queen".

I also saw that those platforms have been inviting you, and even announced the appointment of mentors for next year, so I searched for relevant information and found that the fans behind the contestants of the Penguin variety show have already reached tens of millions!"

"Tens of millions, all raised by fans?" Jinli was a little confused.

She thought it was outrageous, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that this was the pattern that idols followed.

Otherwise, why are so many companies unwilling to give up on promoting top idols?
Once idols become powerful, their ability to reap money is like a whirlwind that blows through the land, killing everyone without leaving a single person behind.

"It was only four million in the fourth phase, but it has reached tens of millions in the fifth phase? Why is it increasing so fast?" Jinli was puzzled.

Sui Lingfang said: “Because this time it involves advertising resources, it’s not a last-place elimination, but to bring top resources to the teams that are already in the front row.

As the Penguin team started the last-place elimination system, fans desperately supported the entire team in order to prevent their beloved popular players from being eliminated.

On the other hand, the top five teams also started competing for resources. The team with the highest ranking in the fifth round will be able to endorse the new lemon tea product. "

Jinli raised her eyebrows: "Endorsing the new Lemon Tea product? This is a bit heavy." Lemon Tea is a well-known milk tea brand in China.

According to incomplete statistics, if a person only drinks five cups of milk tea a month, one of the cups ordered is lemon tea.

Although it is a milk tea brand, the beverages it specializes in are mainly lemon tea series.

Jinli has never drunk it, but she has seen many advertisements for lemon tea.

“Yes, the industry thinks it’s a big deal. Ning Ning Tea is willing to cooperate because it is optimistic about the talent show model of “PICK~Next Stop Queen”.

Therefore, these tens of millions of votes were not born out of the last-place elimination, but were won through competition for resources.”

Sui Lingfang paused, "I feel like the company behind the contestant is in trouble."

Jinli: "Is it worth it for the company to spend money?"

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "That depends on their company and whether they think it's worth it.

Some people believe that the initial investment is for better subsequent income, while others believe that the real skill is to carve out a path in the fierce competition.

Some stars are promoted by companies and spend their entire lives repaying the companies’ investments, but some stars rely on their own abilities to make a name for themselves and start making money as soon as they debut.

I can only say that the competition is too fierce now. There are all kinds of people trying to take advantage of the situation. It is far from being as pure as before. The ability of the players is no longer the only criterion for determining the results. "

Jinli nodded in agreement.

Without talking about the old talent shows, let’s just take Marchday as an example.

That was truly achieved through popularity!
Companies of other contestants wanted to vote, but were discouraged when they saw the terrifying popularity value.

Jinli's phone vibrated several times.

Gu Cheng: [Do you still need to study at night?]
Jinli glanced at the time. When she returned to the apartment, it should be ten o'clock in the evening.

Gu Cheng: [I plan to take time to study for more than an hour and rest at 11 o'clock. If you want to study, let's study together through the video. I will teach you the questions you don't understand.]
Jinli looked solemn.

She originally felt that it was a bit bad to trouble Gu Cheng, but she never expected that Gu Cheng was even more stubborn than her!
Although she also planned to study after she returned.

But she studies to survive.

Gu Cheng studies simply out of passion!

The beloved curly dog ​​turned out to be so scary!!

Jinli: [Study! I'm still in the car, I'm doing the questions now, I'll video chat with you when I get back to the apartment]
She put down her phone and took out a WuSan ​​from her bag.

Sui Lingfang looked at her phone and asked, "Jinli, do you want to go for a midnight snack? There's a dessert shop that seems pretty good. I saw people in the circle recommend it several times."

"Jinli?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, Sui Lingfang turned her head and her breathing stopped for a few seconds.

Emma, ​​this kid is doing exercises again.

She hesitated for a moment, did not disturb her, and lowered her head to continue looking at her phone.

Forget it, send her back and let her eat by herself.

Return to the apartment.

Jinli quickly made a video call and Gu Cheng picked up the phone.

Because it was late, she didn't plan to do a live broadcast.

After studying with Gu Cheng via video for several times, the two of them had a tacit understanding. They adjusted their phones respectively and then lowered their heads to do their own things.

Sometimes, even when talking, they don’t even look up at each other. One asks questions directly and the other answers directly.

——Everyone is staring at the topic.

Time passed quickly and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Gu Cheng put down his pen and closed the exercise book on time, regardless of whether he had finished the question or not.

Jinli is different.

If she has finished the questions at the designated time, it is fine. If she has not finished them, she will not rest until she finishes them.

Gu Cheng waited quietly for more than ten minutes.

Jinli finally finished the last question of the big question and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't check the answer.

If the answer is wrong, it will take some time to figure out why it is wrong.

Jinli felt a little tired and wanted to go to bed.

She looked up and found that Gu Cheng hadn't turned off the video. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Cheng said: "I have something to tell you, have you ever considered hiring a tutor?"

Jinli was stunned, "Tutor?"

She hesitated and said, "To be honest, I haven't considered it. I have to run around for announcements in the entertainment industry during the day, and sometimes I have to rush to announcements at night. My schedule is too irregular.

Unless I hire a private tutor to keep up with my schedule, but I don’t think that’s necessary. I can just use my fragmented time to study on my own.”

Gu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Then you have to work harder. I have taught you for a while and found that your foundation is very weak. I guess it is because you did not lay a good foundation in junior high school.

Although there are many differences between the knowledge taught in junior high school and high school, many people work hard in high school and make rapid progress, becoming excellent students.

However, elementary and junior high schools have actually been cultivating students' logical thinking abilities.

If you develop your own way of thinking, it will be easier to learn high school content.”

He changed the subject and said, "You don't have any method, you can only summarize it slowly by yourself, and this process takes a lot of time.

If you have a private tutor, and the teacher teaches you her methods, you will feel much more relaxed. "

Jinli thought for a few seconds, "I still want to summarize it myself."

Her situation is special.

I study by myself so that I can control my physical condition. If I had a tutor with me, maybe something would be discovered.

Jinli didn't dare to gamble on the possibility of not being discovered.

Gu Cheng nodded and asked, "When do you want to take the college entrance examination?"

Jinli was speechless.

She hadn't thought about it.

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Jinli, learning needs a sense of achievement, so that you will be happier the more you learn, and the same is true for people doing things. If you invest for a long time but never get a return, you will not be able to persist.

At your current pace, even if you study on your own for three years, you may not be able to take the college entrance examination. Your time is too fragmented. "

Jinli asked humbly: "Then what should I do? I still want to take the college entrance examination as soon as possible."

Gu Cheng said pertinently: "You should first summarize a set of learning methods."

After talking with Gu Cheng for half an hour, Jinli's confusion was alleviated a lot.

The window of the soul that had gradually become blurred seemed to be polished a little brighter.

After hanging up the video, she first looked at her phone, thought for a while, and changed the note on Gu Cheng’s WeChat to [Gu Juanjuan·Orange].

Then she walked to the window, looked up at the bright stars in the night sky, and made a decision in her heart.

Learning is a must.

But the burning of incense at the Taoist temple cannot stop!

Early the next morning.

Jinli came to Chenxi Entertainment for a meeting.

Every time a phased announcement is over, she returns to the company to listen to the next plans and arrangements.

Out of consideration for her health, Sui Lingfang refused to accept any offers to endorse a brand or participate in brand events.

“The brands that have invited you are all second-tier brands. You already have an endorsement for all Domi products, so there is no need for you to participate.

If those brands want you to be their spokesperson, then you can participate, but if they just use you as a tool to take advantage of your popularity, forget it.”

Jinli nodded, "That's what I think. I won't take any activities from second-tier brands. I'll just focus on the activities for Domi and Cat's Claw."

Sui Lingfang continued, "The company has received several scripts, some of which invite you to play the leading female role, and some invite you to play the second or third female role. You don't have any announcements next, do you want to try to film a movie?"

Jinli asked: "How long will it take?"

Sui Lingfang opened one of the scripts and said, "This is the female lead. The company is quite optimistic about this one. The production is not too big or too small, and the director is not too big or too small. Considering this is your first time acting, it should take four months to shoot."

The normal filming period for a female lead role is three months.

Jinli is a complete newcomer, so it's normal to need an extra month.

Jinli shook her head: "No, four months is too long. Find something shorter, preferably within a week."

The two searched again.

I found them, but I wasn't very satisfied with those characters.

Nominally she is the third female lead, but in reality she is just a cameo character.

His role was not important. He just waved his hand, turned around and said a few words when he appeared on stage. It was nothing interesting.

Sui Lingfang rubbed her brows and threw the script in her hand on the table.

“Forget it, there’s no good script, so let’s not shoot for now. I was planning to let you participate in a game variety show.

That variety show had a high viewership rating and people often watched it while eating. But the game intensity of that variety show was quite high, and I was worried that you couldn’t handle it, so I didn’t accept it for you in the end.”

After thinking it over, she simply said, "Why don't you participate in the sixth episode of "PICK~Next Stop Queen"? Penguin has been asking me if you want to go. If you want to come, you can find a name."

Jinli shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not interested in variety shows now. If I were interested, I wouldn't just take on one variety show."

She added: "Marchday's group show was scheduled to be filmed in May, and now it's April. Before that, I want to adjust my condition first.

Sister Fang, since there is no suitable notice, how about I take a break for a while?"

Sui Lingfang was speechless.

"You are the first artist to openly tell me that you want to take a break, and you are at the peak of your popularity."

Jinli smiled sweetly: "I'm not feeling well, please forgive me!"

Sui Lingfang looked down at the itinerary and drew a few circles with a red pen.

"It's okay to take a break, but if a high-quality notice comes to you, you still have to go out more often. By the way, how do you plan to take a break?"

She was about to promote the overseas travel package that she hadn't mentioned before, but the next second, Jinli said: "I want to go to the Taoist temple to cultivate my body and mind."

Sui Lingfang: …

You really love the Taoist temple deeply.

When leaving the company, Sui Lingfang specifically told Jinli: "Fortunately, the Taoist temple does not accept laymen, otherwise I'm really afraid that the Taoist temple will snatch people from me."

Jinli blinked and paused slightly.

After getting in the car, she opened the window and whispered, "Sister Fang, you got something wrong."

"what?"

Jinli: "The Taoist temple also accepts lay disciples, that is, the converted disciples who do not become monks and practice at home, and are also called Taoist laymen."

She smiled and said, "But don't worry, I'm not interested in being a lay Buddhist."

The car drove away for a long distance, but Sui Lingfang still stood there, silent.

It’s over. What should I do now that I feel an even greater sense of crisis?
The update is coming, continue the 6K update!
