I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 467 I'm in a bad mood, so I'll buy some scratch tickets first~
Xu Wenwen first looked around.

As celebrities, everyone will subconsciously look for cameras nearby when talking about private matters.

Seeing that there was no one around and the other stars were very far away from them, she spoke softly:

“Since I got the invitation to film “Yulu”, the company was a little dissatisfied, thinking that the whole show was just to set off you, and we, the supporting actors, couldn’t show our own style.

So the company kept talking to me, wanting me to give this drama to another third-tier artist in the company so that they could bring out a second-tier artist for the company.”

Jinli was speechless and choked.

If Xu Wenwen's company really cares so much about Xu Wenwen, then why not just let Xu Wenwen refuse? Why give it to other artists in the company?

Although doing so can ensure the company's maximum interests, the problem is that it looks like paving the way for another artist.

Jinli asked: "You refused, so the company deliberately retaliated against you by giving you a bunch of commercial performances?"

Xu Wenwen nodded gently: "It's about the same. They asked me to practice some popular songs and arranged a lot of commercial performances for me to sing on stage.

I don’t want to make my relationship with the company too strained, and I can also make money by participating in commercial performances, so I have been doing them frequently in the past few months.

But I didn't expect them to be so short-sighted. When I went to Chiquan Village for the script reading, they also took commercial notices for me in the nearby town, so I had to go back and forth between the two places every day.

Xu Wenwen sighed softly: "Jinli, I don't know if it's because I've been running around frequently in the past few months, I feel like I haven't been in contact with acting for a long time.

Today I was the one filming the first scene, and I felt a lot of pressure, and my acting skills seemed to have regressed a lot."

Jinli patted her shoulder gently: "You have been performing for so many years, you are a talented actor, you are just a little rusty now, you will get back to your form after a while, don't worry."

A bitter smile flashed across Xu Wenwen's lips.

"I now only hate myself for not having a strong will. I took on "Mediocrity" because I wanted to reject the bad films that the company offered me. But you can't hide from the monk. I was coaxed by my agent and fell into the vortex of commercial performances."

Xu Wenwen said solemnly: "Jinli, if you want to be a real actor in the future, don't schedule your schedule so closely and leave yourself more free time.

Only when actors can restore their own lives can they recover the energy consumed in filming."

Jinli had never considered this.

Because of her physical condition, she couldn't accept too many notices.

However, if my physical fitness improves in the future, perhaps there will be more announcements.

She kept Xu Wenwen's advice in mind.

Jinli changed the subject and said, "It's still a while before noon, and our scenes won't start shooting until 2pm. Are you tired? If not, do you want to go for a walk outside the village?"

Xu Wenwen shook her head: "Although I was stuck on that scene for a long time, it didn't consume too much of my energy."

She paused and asked curiously, "Why do you want to go outside the village? Aren't you worried about being recognized?"

A smile flashed across Jinli's eyes, "My agent came to Chitang Village today and sent me a lot of photos taken outside the village. I realized that things outside the village have changed so quickly.

If you haven't noticed the scenery outside the village, I suggest you go with me to see it."

Xu Wenwen was not curious at first, but after hearing what Jinli said, she immediately became curious.

What kind of scenery would it be that even Jinli would be amazed by?
Every time after the reading session, she would leave Chitang Village in a nanny car, and she would draw all the curtains for fear of being recognized.

People outside can't see her, and she can't see the outside, so she doesn't know what changes are happening outside the village.

But she vaguely thought of one thing. Since the day before yesterday, it seemed that not long after she drove out of the village, the road outside became extremely congested. She heard her driver honking the horn frantically.

It took more than ten minutes before the road gradually became clear.

The two men simply disguised themselves and went for a walk outside the village.

It's still noon and it's far less lively than in the evening.

But when the two walked out of the village, they were shocked by the vendors of all sizes.

Both sides of the road were crowded with vendors, selling ice jelly, fried skewers, stinky tofu, hand-pulled pancakes...all kinds of food and drinks.

The key point is that even during the day, the flow of people on this road is still considerable.

Xu Wenwen whispered, "I remember that Chitang Village is not a particularly famous tourist attraction. When I came here on the first day, there was no one around."

Jinli added in a low voice: "This village is not developed as a tourist attraction at all. It is just an ordinary small mountain village."

Xu Wenwen: "What should we do now——"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the screams of four little girls who were traveling with her.

"Chitang Village, I saw the words Chitang Village in capital letters. Jinli and Xu Wenwen are filming there, right?"

"Wait a minute, let me turn over the sweet potato to see if it is true."

“Oh, yes, yes, it’s right here. Let’s take a photo and check in. I’ll take the photo for you first!”

Xu Wenwen suddenly stopped talking before she finished speaking. Well, she understood what was going on.

The star effect!
At such moments, she feels that being a star is a very meaningful thing.

Jinli took her for a stroll and found that there were a lot of people in one place.

The people were all crowded together, and cheers could be heard from time to time.

Jinli walked over to take a look, and first saw a vendor selling amulets, which had all kinds of styles.

She took a casual look and saw that they were all some unblessed little gadgets. This kind of amulet could not really work and could only provide psychological comfort.

If conditions permit, it is recommended to buy amulets at Taoist temples or other places.

Walking further, we heard another round of cheers.

“I won, I won 10!”

The owner of the lottery ticket shop held a loud speaker and shouted excitedly: "Family, did you see that? Someone won 10 yuan. Hurry up and follow!"

"10 today, 20 tomorrow, 30 the day after tomorrow... Becoming a millionaire is no longer a dream!"

"You're going to be rich, family!"

"Look at the stone tablet behind me. Do you see the three big characters 'Chitang Village'?

This is where Jinli has been filming for the past few months. Everyone knows that Jinli is lucky, and many fans want to take photos with her, shake hands with her, and take advantage of her good luck.

Huh? I heard someone laughing, why are you laughing? Do you think what I said is nonsense, unreliable, and made up? "

The boss laughed, "I really didn't lie to you. Not only fans and passers-by, but even celebrities in the entertainment industry all want to take photos and shake hands with Jinli."

He took out his phone and opened a photo, sharing it with everyone: "Look, this is Jinli attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Fangfei's new store in Nancheng a week ago. This is an exclusive photo that the station sister took while squatting in the underground garage. I spent 2 to bid for it."

One netizen said: "Why is Lian Baozhi on it?"

"Yes, that profile is Lian Baozhi. Lian Baozhi also participated in Fang Fei's opening ribbon-cutting ceremony that day, and she was wearing this dress."

Boss: "Look, Jinli is signing autographs for Lian Baozhi, and Lian Baozhi is smiling so happily. Even celebrities in the industry are chasing after Jinli and want to take advantage of her good fortune."

"Everyone, come and take a look! Although we can't take pictures with Jinli or shake her hand, we can stand in the same place with her, breathe the same air, and the straight-line distance between us is no more than 500 meters!"

"Buy a scratch ticket and you'll get this lucky koi!"

Jinli watched silently, willing to call this boss a marketing genius.

Can you brag like this even though you're not there?
Many fans present, including passers-by who were just there to join in the fun, really fell for the boss' trick. Under Jinli's gaze, people scratched out their prizes one after another.

“I won! I won 1!”

"I won too. I won three thousand. Oh my god, this is the first time I've won such a large amount. I'm so lucky!"

"I won! I won 500!"

Xu Wenwen was curious and wanted to squeeze into the crowd to buy a scratch card.

Others were just taking advantage of Jinli's luck, but she also touched Jinli's little hand!

She must have little red hands!
Jinli: ...

She didn't dare to squeeze in, and silently watched Xu Wenwen buy scratch tickets at the risk of being exposed.

After a few minutes, Xu Wenwen came back with five scratch tickets. Except for her messy hair style, her sunglasses and mask were still in good condition.

She complained, “The boss is really good at business. He only has two boxes of scratch tickets left, and seeing that there are so many of us, he even thought of raising the price.

If someone hadn't spoken out and reported him to the relevant department for daring to sell to them at a price higher than the retail price, he would not have said to raise the price, but would have implemented purchase restrictions.

Originally, a person could buy 10 scratch tickets, but now they can only buy 5 at most.”

Jinli said: "He can think of selling scratch tickets in this area and hype my luck. I know he is a good businessman."

Xu Wenwen used the room key and started scraping carefully.

The first one didn’t win.

The second one, didn’t win.

She scratched the fourth ticket but still didn't win.

Xu Wenwen's face fell, "What the boss said is all lies!"

Jinli couldn't help laughing and said, "In fact, there are not many people who really win the lottery. Most of those who won large amounts of money were hired by the boss."

Xu Wenwen: "How did you know?"

Jinli said calmly: "These are all marketing tricks."

Xu Wenwen: "Okay."

In fact, Jinli sensed it by feeling, and there was still some protection from Zhong Kui's divine power remaining on her.

She couldn't see ghosts anymore. Even in the first few days of her worship, when her body was filled with divine power, she didn't see any ghost.

But with the help of divine power, he could still feel something strange.

The boss' smile was very fake, and many people who won the jackpot also had fake smiles.

Xu Wenwen no longer had any hope for the last scratch ticket. After scratching it, she didn’t look at it immediately, but instead looked at the stall selling amulets.

She wanted to buy an amulet, maybe it could change her luck?
Some amulets also have the function of changing fortune.

But it just happened by coincidence.

She picked it up casually and suddenly saw a string of numbers in the winning area at the top.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand.

Xu Wenwen was a little unconvinced, so she repeated it again and counted on her fingers.

She excitedly grabbed Jinli's arm and said in a broken voice: "Jinli, did I win two hundred thousand?"

Jinli: "..."

Sister, you said my name!

Fortunately, many people around came for Jinli, and people called Jinli's name from time to time, so many people were not surprised.

Xu Wenwen's shout only attracted the attention of one or two people.

Seeing that they were wrapped so tightly, he lowered his head again.

Jinli took the scratch ticket, counted it for her again, and said in surprise: "I really won 200,000."

Xu Wenwen jumped three feet high with joy, and her sunglasses almost fell off her eyes.

Jinli quickly grabbed her and said, "Someone is watching."

Xu Wenwen sat up straight reflexively, looking gentle and virtuous with graceful posture.

The whole person seemed to freeze for several seconds, then covered his mouth and laughed secretly, constantly making the "2" sign to Jinli.

"Two hundred thousand, this is two hundred thousand?" She said in a suppressed voice, "I understand why so many people like to buy it. The joy of winning is so great."

Jinli commented pointedly: "It's essentially a way of getting something for nothing. Just play with it and don't get addicted."

Xu Wenwen said: "I think buying this is better than speculating in stocks. The money in the stock account evaporates faster."

Jinli was speechless.

There were so many things to compare with, but she chose to compare with Myanmar A, which made her unable to refute.

Jinli said: "You can't claim the prize. This kind of winning amount needs to be claimed at the lottery center. Let your assistant go for you."

Xu Wenwen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let's go back now to avoid any more trouble."

Jinli looked at her: "Are you feeling better now?"

Xu Wenwen: "Of course. I suddenly feel that my worry is hypocritical. Now I am full of confidence. Let the storm come even harder!"

Jinli smiled.

A positive attitude can really change a person, but unfortunately this mentality comes from the stimulation of money.

When Jinli and Xu Wenwen returned to Chitang Village, a villagers' meeting was held in the afternoon.

Except for the villagers who cooperated with the filming, all the villagers who were still in the village, from children of a few years old to grandparents who were a hundred years old, gathered in the ancestral hall.

The village chief seriously discussed with the villagers whether to mobilize the entire village to customize the relevant cultural surroundings for Chitang Village.

It has to be said that the village chief has been following Ye Weijie for a while, and has learned a lot about the new things happening outside.

The village chief said: "You proposed to sell ice cream with Chitang Village printed on it before, which is a kind of ice cream in the surrounding area. Customized ice cream requires the manufacturer to make a special mold, which costs some money.

In addition to ice cream, we can also sell Chi Pond Village postcards, bookmarks, refrigerator magnets, notebooks, stationery, fans, etc. with our Chi Pond Village logo. "

The village chief said this while looking at the notebook in his hand.

He obtained all this information through deepseek, and with the help of AI, he barely understood what it was.

Although he was very confused as to why things could be sold at a higher price just by putting a brand on them, would anyone really buy them?

For this purpose, he specially went to find Ye Weijie and asked him to give him advice.

As a result, when Ye Weijie heard him mention making peripheral products, he immediately said, "Village Chief, this will definitely work. You, Chitang Village, should quickly register a trademark to prevent it from being maliciously registered by others!"

The village chief has one head and two heads.

What is a trademark and what is cybersquatting?
He is just an ordinary village chief, not an entrepreneur.
