I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 537 Numerous Obstacles, No One Is Willing (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Chenxi Entertainment did not hide the fact that Yu Linling had sent someone to talk to Jinli.

As for Yu Linling, she didn't secretly go to see Jinli either.

Although the two arranged to meet at Chenxi Entertainment, their meeting was conducted openly and honestly.

Soon.

Everyone knows about Chenxi Entertainment, and many people in the entertainment industry know about it as well. What was originally a discussion limited to a small group of people has been quickly expanded.

A paparazzi posted this news online, which immediately sparked discussion among netizens.

Many netizens believe that Jinli's career luck is very good this year.

In the past, Jinli didn't announce many endorsements, but each one was significant. This year, however, she seems to be rushing to announce all sorts of things.

[Yu Linling sent someone to meet with Jinli. What did they talk about? Isn't Yu Linling focused on menswear?]

Those in the industry know that Yulinling has always had the idea of ​​entering the women's clothing market.

Big brands really have a keen eye; they knew Jinli's results were secure this time, so they quickly sent someone to communicate with her.

Netizens were confused.

Many people in the industry are also puzzled.

They felt that Jinli was somewhat counter-cyclical.

With the economic downturn, most celebrities have reduced their appearances and endorsements.

But look at Jin Li. As other artists decline, Jin Li rises. Not only are her collaborations thriving, but she has also secured two new product endorsements.

Top-tier artists of Jinli's caliber all felt the pressure.

Resources are limited.

Jinli announced several endorsements during the economic downturn, which reduced the amount allocated to them.

Suddenly, the "college entrance exam hype" that had just subsided reappeared on the internet.

However, this time, many netizens were smarter and didn't jump into the trap immediately.

I was thinking, Jinli hasn't even taken the college entrance exam yet, so why don't we wait until after her exam to create some hype, and then we can criticize her? (Clever)

[Those who say he's just hyping it up, why don't you learn from him and livestream yourself reading every day? Even if you can manage to watch for an hour every day, let alone two hours, then I'll agree that you should join in the hype.]

[Sour grapes. This person has persevered for two years and has finally made it. We welcome other artists to try if they want to.]

This time, a lot of online trolls have joined in, saying that Jinli only gained traffic and popularity through gimmicks, and that her actual strength is average.

This time, Jinli's official fan club responded quickly, listing out all the achievements Jinli has made in the film and television dramas she has participated in over the past two years.

Putting aside the fact that every TV series is incredibly popular, "The Dream Builder" was a summer blockbuster last year.

Achieving the second-highest box office ranking during the summer season is no joke.

Others use hype to make money out of thin air, but Jinli achieved the second-highest box office ranking last summer just by using hype. Why don't you try using hype too?

[There's nothing to criticize. They haven't even taken the college entrance exam yet and you're all jumping out at this. A mere invitation from Yu Linling has made you all so defensive? Why don't you let Yu Linling meet you too?]

same moment.

Even Baozhi saw the news online and was curious about "Yulinling and Jinli meeting".

She asked her agent, Lü Shanjie, "Has Yu Linling decided on Jin Li?"

Lu Shanjie couldn't say for sure either.

Because it's rare for executives of luxury brands to go out of the way to meet with celebrities, if their whereabouts are revealed, it's highly likely that they're planning a collaboration.

but……

How long has it been?
The news of Yulinling selecting a global women's clothing spokesperson had just been released, and now Jinli is about to snatch the prize?
One moment there's Fangfei's summer clothing and Rumengling's new perfume, and the next there's Yulinling's global women's clothing.

Lu Shanjie felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of this.

Jinli's current popularity reminded her of several celebrities.

After a barrage of brand endorsements, some of those celebrities faded into obscurity, while others shone even brighter and embarked on the path to becoming international superstars.

The agent murmured, "Something's not right. Aren't they worried that Jinli's college entrance exam results are bad? Why are they making such a big fuss about it so soon?"

She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and made a call.

A moment later, Lü Shanjie's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, she looked intently at Lian Baozhi: "We were all deceived by Jinli. Yulinling only talked to her first. My friend told me that Yulinling's manager is currently meeting with a second female celebrity, so the cooperation has not been finalized yet. Yulinling is just looking at people on a large scale."

Lu Shanjie was delighted, which meant that the ownership of this pie had not yet been decided.

Even Baozhi is a top-tier artist, and she's been doing well lately. Lu Shanjie thinks she could compete for that position.

In the eyes of top-tier celebrities, Yu Linling's foray into women's clothing is a new attempt, and even if Yu Linling approached them for endorsement, they might not necessarily agree.

Brands choose celebrities, and celebrities also choose brands.

He doesn't even look down on top-tier celebrities, but he does look down on someone like Baozhi.

Who would complain about having too few endorsements? It's not like all celebrities only accept the best deals.

Compared to the agent's delight, Lian Baozhi curled her lip, thinking that Yu Linling had no taste.

With Jinli's dedication to learning through her daily live streams, who can match her positive image?

She also has a relative who is a senior in high school. She met that relative during the Chinese New Year this year and asked him if he knew about Jinli's live stream.

Her relative was a cousin from several generations removed. He had a student-style haircut, wore glasses, and had a few pimples on his forehead. He was quiet and reserved at the dinner table.

But when she asked about Jinli, he looked up and said with great interest:
"Cousin, do you know Jinli's live stream? I thought only students like us would watch her live stream to study."

Lian Baozhi said with a smile at the time, "I watch it occasionally when I have free time. Her live broadcast room has a kind of magic that makes people feel calm. Even if you do nothing, just watching makes you feel very peaceful."

"By the way, you're a senior in high school, and you've watched Jinli's live streams. What do you think of her grades?"

My cousin excitedly gave me a thumbs up: "Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

Before she could ask, her cousin rattled off a whole bunch of things: "The practice tests she did were all from other provinces. That province is known for its intense college entrance exams, and its tests are famous for their difficulty. Our school doesn't usually give us tests from that province, for fear of discouraging us!"

"Jinli handles those test papers with ease. If she were to take the college entrance examination in our province, it would be a game-changer. She could easily score high marks in math and physics."

Even when Baozhi heard her cousin praise Jinli, she felt a sense of pride.

"Do you think she can get into a university?"

My cousin said confidently, "Of course she can. Getting into a bachelor's degree is a piece of cake. If she wasn't lying in her live stream, her grades should be good enough for a top-tier university."

The memory ends.

Lian Baozhi looked up at her relieved agent, and thought to herself:
When Jinli's college entrance exam results come out, you'll be shocked!
online.

When the person in charge of Yulinling appeared at the second celebrity's company, the online trolls stopped attacking Jinli, and the netizens' enthusiasm also faded.

But because of this online uproar, few people noticed one piece of news: Zhang Guang led the March Sky group to Tianding Entertainment!

While sitting in the car, Zhang Guang opened the trending topics and saw the news about Jin Li. He shook his head and chuckled.

Some celebrities are truly destined to meet.

It's either you steal my popularity, or I steal yours.

Either you help me divert attention, or I help you divert attention.

Every time netizens click on the trending topics, they find that March Band and a member of Pink Girl are always on different news at the same time.

Although their news content was completely different, they both trended at similar times.

Zhang Guang put away his phone, turned around and said, "When we get to the company, don't say anything, I'll handle everything."

Don't make a sound if they say anything nasty; I'm worried they might secretly record it and use it against you.

Recording is a common practice in the entertainment industry.

Many workplace power struggles in dramas are created by celebrities scheming against their companies.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yan Xingdong asked, "Brother Guang, will the company leak any juicy gossip about us?"

Zhang Guang shook his head: "I've left you a way out, don't worry, the company definitely doesn't want to pay a huge amount of brand breach of contract fees, but—"

He then changed the subject: "Your contract with the company expires in June. Due to the terms of the contract, the company will not take action against you before the contract expires."

But once the contract is officially terminated, the company might hire online trolls to smear you; they don't want your reputation to be good.

Zhang Guang remained calm about this.

“I’m not worried about these petty tricks at all. If we encounter any rumors, we’ll send a lawyer’s letter. As long as Tianding Entertainment doesn’t come out in person, everything will be fine.”

In terms of public relations, March Sky couldn't offer Zhang Guang any help.

The only thing they can do is not hold others back.

Yan Xingdong glanced at Chen Lin. He wasn't worried about anyone else, but he was worried about Chen Lin's mouth.

Chen Lin knew his own personality, so he specially took out two earphones and said with a grin:

"While you're negotiating, I'll listen to music. That way I won't hear anything, right?"

The others nodded in satisfaction.

Ignoring what you hear is the best policy; Xiao Lin has learned her lesson!
Soon, the March Sky group, led by Zhang Guang, entered the company.

This time, everyone in the company looked at them with complicated expressions.

As soon as March Sky got on the elevator, the receptionists couldn't help but huddle together and discuss it.

"You're back to discuss the contract, right?"

Will they renew the contract?

"Probably. The company has proactively announced such a great contract. Tianding Entertainment is a big company, and I've never seen such a high revenue share offered to popular artists before!"

"But Brother Guang is experienced and capable. He single-handedly made March Band famous. If he really goes out and starts his own company, March Band might support him."

One of the receptionists whispered, "Don't just talk about March Band. Haven't you noticed that there have been a lot more veteran artists looking for the president these past few days?"
I once overheard someone walk in while on the phone, complaining that the CEO was giving new employees such high commissions while giving veterans such low ones—it was unfair.

"Yes, these elderly people are unwilling and feel wronged. I think it will be very difficult for Sanyuetian to sign this contract with Tianding."

……

same moment.

In March, the group entered the CEO's office.

The group exchanged glances, and they all sensed a solemn atmosphere in the air.

Zhang Guang and March Sky had just sat down on the sofa and hadn't even spoken when the door to the president's office was opened.

A veteran A-list celebrity walked in. His temples were slightly gray, but his eyes were bright. Even in his old age, one could still vaguely see the dashing and heroic spirit he had in his youth.

Everyone jumped to their feet, including March Sky and the others.

This veteran artist was one of the earliest artists under Tianding Entertainment. Although he is still a top-tier star, he has retired and enjoys a high status in the hearts of many netizens.

For veteran artists like these, netizens don't see them as artists, but rather as "veteran artists".

"Teacher Wang, what brings you here?" Zhang Guang asked humbly, his head slightly lowered.

The president's tone was equally respectful: "Mr. Wang, what do you want to discuss? I'll have someone help you resolve it; you don't need to come in person."

Old Wang said calmly, "No, I came here to see you, President."

Old Wang deliberately slowed down his movements, scanning the entire March Sky Plaza before finally focusing his attention on the president.

He said meaningfully, "President, it's good that young people are ambitious, but the company can't spoil them too much and give them the best of everything. They'll just feel that it's their due, not that they're grateful."

Zhang Guang's expression changed slightly.

Mr. Wang: "When I was young, Tianding Entertainment encountered five crises. Three of them told me that they couldn't continue and wanted to terminate my contract and set me free, but I chose to stay and stand with the company through thick and thin."

Ultimately, I witnessed firsthand how Tianding overcame one obstacle after another until it became a top company in the industry.

Tianding's reputation has never been built on concessions, but on the collective hard work and dedication of everyone involved. I only hope that the CEO won't break the traditions that have been passed down through generations.

He sighed heavily: "A big ship is hard to capsize. This time you gave such good benefits to others. What will the old people think? They will only feel disheartened! Some people have worked hard for the company their whole lives and can't even get 70% of the profits. Now a junior has taken it."

"I didn't want to come, but too many old friends asked me to come, so I'll take advantage of my seniority and tell you something. Some rules, once broken, can never be repaired."

The company has already been facing many challenges lately, and I don't want you to make a rash decision without considering the bigger picture. Tianding Entertainment is everyone's company, not just one team's!

Old Wang's words were clearly pointed at something.

Everyone knows who he's targeting.

After finishing his sentence, Old Wang turned and left without looking back.

In March, everyone looked at each other, when suddenly they heard Chen Lin hum softly. They all looked at him with a hint of envy.

I should have known they were wearing headphones too.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Guang sat down again and looked at the president.

The president took a deep breath and was about to speak when the office door opened again.

This time, however, it was Ming Yingyue who walked in.

The president frowned slightly, and for the second time felt that the office door needed to be replaced.

He took the phone from Ming Yingyue, and the caller ID displayed the words "Board of Directors - President Xiong".
