I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 495 A Justified Threat! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Hao Zhongyi Entertainment hadn't even witnessed Qi Guanmingzhu's prowess yet, but instead approached two artists from Chenxi Entertainment.

There are some veteran employees at Hao Zhongyi Entertainment. In their impression, Jinli is the easiest to handle among the four.

Because of her poor health, she often dragged the team down and was criticized by the media, and she also lacked confidence.

As for Xi Mengze, the older employees didn't really remember him. He was okay at everything, but also mediocre at everything.

Before, when they were in the team, none of them knew that Xi Mengze could sing so well.

Therefore, they first set their sights on the golden pear.

Jinli's private phone number has never changed.

It was already night, and Jinli had just finished get off work on set when she received a phone call from Chen Qin.

Chen Qin said, "Today, an unknown number kept calling you. It was a landline, and I thought it was a scam call, so I didn't answer."

Usually, if you don't answer one of these scam calls, they'll call from a different number. But this one has been calling repeatedly, four times already.

Jinli unlocked her phone and raised an eyebrow: "00852-2XXX, the phone shows this is a landline call from Hong Kong. Has the scam already spread to Hong Kong?"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

On her way to the cafeteria, Jinli received another call on her phone from the same number.

Chen Qin glanced at it and muttered, "Why are these scam calls so persistent? Do they know you're gullible and rich?"

Jinli answered the phone casually, but what came through was a somewhat unclear Cantonese-accented Mandarin.

"Jinli, I am the head of the talent agency department at Hao Zhongyi Entertainment Company. My surname is Chen, you can call me Mr. Chen."

Jinli paused, then replied, "Hao Zhongyi Entertainment? What do you want with me? We have no cooperation whatsoever."

Chen Sheng's voice was gloomy on the phone: "I want to know if you were behind Qi Guanmingzhu's final choice of Chenxi Entertainment. Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason why she would give up signing with Hao Zhongyi Entertainment."

Jinli was delighted.

This was the first time she had been so blatantly provoked.

"So what if I did it, and so what if I didn't?"

Chen Sheng: "You didn't do it. We misunderstood you. We apologize. If you did—"

He paused, his voice turning sinister and cold: "You will pay the price!"

"Hao Zhongyi Entertainment wanted to sign Qi Guanmingzhu and groom her as a superstar. Because of your personal selfishness, a superstar has fallen. You have ruined her!"

"Once we sign her, we'll get her two international film roles, working with international superstars in martial arts films. That will attract a lot of attention!"

"Don't think that just because Qi Guanmingzhu signed with Chenxi Entertainment, we can't do anything else. The competition has only just begun, and your resources are nothing special. You have no idea what you've given up!"

"Fighting you in music copyright lawsuits is our way of returning the favor. We will also expand our presence in mainland China, as we have a large number of Hong Kong star resources at our disposal, and we will snatch your gigs!"

Chen Sheng spoke in a condescending tone.

“If you’re smart enough to cooperate more with the company, we can still shake hands and make peace. Jinli, you’ve worked in Hong Kong before, you must know how advanced this place is.”

Jinli laughed out loud.

"My resources are waiting for you to come and take them. If you can take them, it means I'm not as strong as you."

"As for why Qi Guanmingzhu didn't choose to sign with your company, don't you ever think about whether it's your own fault? Don't push all the problems onto others. Times have changed, open your eyes and look at the world."

"By the way, how old are you now?" she suddenly changed the subject.

Just as Chen Sheng was about to answer, Jin Li continued, "Never mind, that's not important. You should spend more time online and connect with today's young people. People who don't know you might think you're stuck in the last century."

"If phone threats were effective, what would be the point of having police? Oh, by the way, every call I make will be recorded, so please be careful what you say. If anything happens to me during the announcement, you will be prime suspects."

"After all, you are the first person to openly threaten me, and I highly suspect that you have malicious intentions."

Chen Sheng's face darkened even more after hearing what she said.

Didn't the veteran employees say that Jinli was the easiest to bully? How come she's so sharp-tongued?

He doesn't really go online much. After all, when he was the company president, every minute of his time was worth tens of thousands of yuan. Where would he find the time to go online?

Only the poor resort to the internet to numb themselves.

Don't be fooled by the abundance of information online; it's all outdated information. Truly wealthy people don't tell others how they made their fortunes.

Feeling humiliated, Chen Sheng angrily retorted, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, things change. Hao Zhongyi Entertainment is not what it used to be. You look down on us!"

Jinli: "If telling the truth is considered looking down on someone, then you need to cultivate yourself more."

"By the way, my time is very precious. If you want to chat with me again next time, please confirm the time with Chenxi Entertainment first. My calls are charged by the second. Bye."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone decisively.

Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng, who were standing to the side, were a little dumbfounded, as they rarely saw Jinli so angry.

Chen Qin asked cautiously, "Jinli, what happened? Did someone call and threaten you?"

Jinli snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "It was a call from Hao Zhongyi Entertainment. Pearl signed with Chenxi Entertainment, and the people there hold a grudge against me. They called specifically to settle scores with me."

She sent the phone number to Sui Lingfang and then blocked her.

"Tell Sister Fang to contact the person on this phone and, if necessary, have Chenxi Entertainment file a lawsuit against me for violating my personal safety."

The chances of winning the lawsuit are slim.

But it can also be a way to annoy Hao Zhongyi and have some fun.

What Jinli was even more curious about was what had happened to Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, which had suddenly reorganized and was acting so arrogantly, even saying that it wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

She thought of the guesses her sisters had made before.

"Could it be that Hao Zhongyi Entertainment has really received renewed investment and support from wealthy families and has even partnered with a mainland company?"
-
This was the first time Chen Peixian had ever had her phone hung up on by someone, and she said angrily, "This person is so rude!"

His assistant bowed and served him carefully.

"Mr. Chen, what did Jinli say?"

Chen Peixian glared at him, her tone icy: "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong? Jinli is the weakest of the four, and also the easiest to bribe?"

The assistant immediately straightened his chest and said, "I absolutely did not hear wrong. The veteran employees all say that Jinli is the easiest to bully!"

When the pink-clad girl group became incredibly popular, the veteran staff didn't dare to criticize the other members, but they dared to speak ill of Jinli to her face, and Jinli would always lower her head and remain silent!

Chen Peixian's brows were so furrowed that they could almost trap a fly.

"Then why is she so arrogant towards me?"

The assistant was also puzzled, but then a sudden inspiration struck him, and he said confidently, "I understand."

Chen Peixian looked over.

Assistant: "She's definitely bluffing!!"

"She's being rude to you because she's the weakest, so you won't notice her vulnerability. Actually, she's terrified right now and is probably already on the phone with her manager discussing what to do!"

To confirm her opinion, the assistant even cited an example of what happened when she called Xi Mengze.

“We tried calling Xi Mengze before, but we couldn’t get through. This proves that Xi Mengze is not afraid of us. Jin Li’s call also went unanswered at first, but we finally got through later, which proves that she is still afraid of us!”

Chen Peixian asked suspiciously, "Is that really true?"

The assistant opened her sincere eyes wide: "Really!" Chen Peixian thought for a moment, but still felt something was off, so she called back.

The results showed that Jinli was on a call.

He didn't know that if a number is blocked, it will keep saying "busy" or "out of service area".

Chen Peixian put down her phone, patted her assistant on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "You're right."

He smiled dismissively: "So what if she's a top-tier celebrity? She still has to succumb to capital. If I take action, she'll either retire from the industry or switch agencies!"

The assistant believed Chen Peixian's words without a doubt.

After all, the Chan family behind Chan Pui-yin has always been one of the five most powerful families in Hong Kong.

Previously, Hao Zhongyi Entertainment dominated the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it was run by the Chen family.

Although the business later fell apart due to the division of assets among the wealthy family, this time, also due to the division of assets among the wealthy family, President Chen decided to take over Hao Zhongyi Entertainment and was determined to revitalize it.

With sufficient capital, this company is absolutely poised to grow into a large and powerful enterprise!
Sui Lingfang spent the whole day coordinating Qi Guanmingzhu's announcements, and she has to make a special trip to Tianding Entertainment tomorrow.

Because Tianding Entertainment signed many co-branded endorsements for Qi Guanmingzhu during the three-month contract period, they will need to work with Ji Qinglian to maintain them in the future.

Therefore, she needed to obtain all the joint contracts and the Fushun timeline, as she was exercising Qi Guanmingzhu's right to review the contracts.

After she finished her work, she received a message from Chen Qin and hurriedly called Jinli to find out the details.

Jinli had finished her meal and returned to her guesthouse to rest.

Sui Lingfang cut to the chase and asked, "I saw the message Chen Qin sent me. Hao Zhongyi Entertainment called and threatened you, telling you not to meddle so much, and that you have to give way to them and cooperate with them more?"

Jinli calmly replied, "Yes."

Sui Lingfang blurted out, "How dare they be so nosy!"

Jinli was also curious about their thinking; their way of speaking seemed to be stuck in the last century.

Sui Lingfang asked, "So what should we do now? Send a warning letter directly?"

Jinli said thoughtfully, "I have a feeling this matter won't end easily. Let's wait and see. You should gather all the materials first."

Sui Lingfang: "Okay!"

Jinli: "Hao Zhongyi Entertainment contacted me, and I guess they also contacted Mengmeng. Ask her if she has been threatened."

Sui Lingfang has not yet received a message from Xi Mengze, who is currently on vacation again.

The mental state is very beautiful.

As her agent, she would see Xi Mengze's schedule and cry tears of envy.

After hanging up the phone, Sui Lingfang immediately dialed Xi Mengze's number.

"I didn't receive a threatening phone call from an entertainment company in Hong Kong!"

Xi Mengze was completely confused: "I didn't receive any calls from strangers. Could it just be a conspiracy against Jinli, thinking she's easy to bully?"

Sui Lingfang: "No matter what, please be careful lately."

Xi Mengze later checked and realized that he always turned on the call reminder function when he was on vacation.

You can't get through to her if you're not a friend in her contacts.

She even made a special call to Jinli to express her condolences.

Xi Mengze said in a confrontational tone, "Jinli, if Hao Zhongyi Entertainment threatens you again, just release their call records and let mainland netizens tear them apart!"

Jinli smiled, her eyes crinkling slightly: "Good idea."

The unexpected phone call did not disrupt Jinli's pace.

The next morning, we had to rush to perform a literary play.

As filming progressed, Jinli had perfectly captured the "village official's authority," making filming go smoothly on set, with problems usually arising from the performances of others.

The fact that the cast is too young also has its drawbacks; Jinli is unable to draw more inspiration from veteran actors to improve her acting skills.

She can only be a leader.

Given Jinli's habits, once she becomes a leader, she will basically set off a fierce competition among all the crew members.

By the end, you'll find everything you could possibly want.

This time is no exception.

The filming efficiency improved dramatically, and even if there were retakes or NGs, they would immediately consult with the senior members of the crew.

Now everyone is no longer afraid of Jinli and Xu Wenwen, and they all want to get some guidance from them.

Originally, it was the young actress Wang Hongdou who was bolder and asked more questions, but later Ma Mingqi also boldly asked Jinli questions.

Generally speaking, Jinli spends her time studying during breaks, and many less experienced actors don't dare to disturb her too much.

Ma Mingqi is different.

He asked Jinli questions without expecting her to answer, even if it was just talking to himself, but he wanted Jinli to know his attitude.

His agent is still on set, coming every day to keep an eye on Ma Mingqi's filming.

Ma Mingqi is also very funny; every time he comes to ask Jinli a question, he has to pull his agent along.

In a corner of the film crew, everyone was whispering among themselves.

"He's here again, eagerly trying to bother Jinli, and even dragged his manager over. Jinli can't ignore him. She's never seen a celebrity as shameless as him!"

"Ma Mingqi is like a stubborn plaster!"

Some staff members held a different opinion, saying uncertainly, "But I saw that Jinli was not bothered. She was still brushing her hair with her head down, only occasionally responding with a few words."

"How could I not be bothered? I'll be disturbed as long as someone is standing in front of me. Jinli just has a strong ability to concentrate, she's not a robot that can completely block out noise!"

Ma Mingqi deliberately dragged his agent to show off in front of Jinli.

Compared to his manager, he appeared even more obsequious, saying with a flattering expression, "Jinli, my manager said he wants to learn from you, so I've come to bother you again."

"You can answer if you want, or you don't have to say anything if you don't want to. It's okay, I understand."

“My agent said that my acting is a bit superficial and not solid. Several of my NGs today were because they were too superficial. I want to ask how to improve this situation.”

Jinli glanced at him and said, "Go to the village chief's office more often, see how the village chief handles things, observe more, and think more."

Ma Mingqi looked enlightened: "You're absolutely right."

Luo Fan also spoke up: "Think more about Jinli's suggestion, and don't always bother her."

Ma Mingqi: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the village chief right now!"

As he and his agent passed by the group of people discussing the matter, Ma Mingqi, with his back to them, revealed a disdainful smile.

He thought to himself, "You all don't understand anything. The reason I brought my manager to Jinli's place is because Jinli thinks highly of my manager!"

"I need to show Jinli how obedient I am to my manager in order to have a chance to switch to Chenxi Entertainment together."

"A bunch of ants, how could they possibly know my lofty ambitions!"
