I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 575 Auspicious Sign of Purple Qi Coming from the East

Some people worked overtime late into the night, some were excited to meet their idols, and some received a last-minute message about a change in the competition format.

When Sui Lingfang received the message from the "Shining Glory" program team, Jin Li had already arrived at the conference room and met with the trainees from Chenxi Entertainment.

Every trainee was excited about this meeting.

Normally, they spend all their time in the dance studio at the company, with a very busy schedule every day.

Other celebrities often bump into Jin Li, who is back at the company for a meeting, or Xi Mengze and Qi Guan Mingzhu, but these trainees have never encountered them.

They were training before the celebrities arrived at the company.

Even after the celebrities left the company, they continued training.

This is the hardship of being a trainee.

But if they don't even endure this little bit of hardship, how can they stand out from the crowd of trainees?

Many people who have practiced dancing since childhood and have strong dance skills have plunged headlong into the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot.

So what advantages do people like them, who have no background and only rely on their looks, have?
Therefore, every trainee practiced with all their might, all for the sake of that belief in their heart that they wanted to stand out from the crowd.

They didn't know if their efforts would be rewarded.

But at least after participating in this variety show, they met the stars they had always admired, and everyone was very happy.

Only at this moment do I realize that all the sacrifices and forbearance were worthwhile.

Jinli pushed open the meeting room door and was greeted with a warm welcome from everyone.

Jinli looked at the youthful faces and waved to them.

"Hello everyone, have you all had dinner?"

The team leader replied, "We ate something when we got back to the company. Everyone was really looking forward to seeing you, and some of us couldn't eat much."

Jinli smiled and said, "I still need to eat something. Sister Fang, could you order me a few low-fat meals?"

Sui Lingfang knew that she had something to talk to these trainees, so she went out to order food.

In the meeting room, Jinli inquired carefully about their usual practice intensity and asked them how they felt after participating in the talent show.

The trainees looked at each other, unsure whether to tell the truth.

Jinli couldn't help but laugh at their cautious manner: "The atmosphere at Chenxi Entertainment is quite different from other companies. You can rest assured in front of me. Even if you complain about the company to me, I won't care and I won't spread it around."

After Jinli said that, all the trainees eagerly spoke up.

She asked this question because she figured that since she had already met them, she might as well listen to the trainees' thoughts and see if she could offer some suggestions for improvement to the company.

Well, entering the idol group might just be a momentary impulse for the CEO, but the dozens of people he signed all came with dreams in their hearts.

A person's most precious 20 or 30 years of youth may very well be consumed in a company.

If possible, Jinli hopes that everyone's efforts will be rewarded, and that her expectations will never be disappointed.

The relationship between a company and its artists can be complex, but it can also be very pure.

Even after artists achieve fame and success and open their own studios, they still choose to remain affiliated with a company, allowing the company to share in the profits.

The artist is grateful for the company's support when she was struggling, and she doesn't forget to repay the company after she becomes famous.

Even worse, some companies have incurred debts of tens of billions of yuan due to reckless investments. Artists, not wanting their companies to go bankrupt, will desperately accept gigs or hold concerts in hopes of saving the company from its decline.

Artists and companies are never just adversaries.

Chenxi Entertainment treats Jinli very well, and Jinli also hopes that Chenxi Entertainment will become even better.

"The daily schedule is very intensive, as if they want us to become dance masters overnight."

"We can't stop, and we dare not stop. Every day we are collapsing and rebuilding, and then collapsing again. But the teachers we've invited are all very good. They don't use oppressive teaching methods, and they even encourage us."

Jinli asked, "What about the agent? Did the agent speak ill of you?"

The other trainees dared not speak and all turned to look at their captain.

The team leader hesitated for a moment and said, "The manager didn't belittle us, but he would often sigh at us, saying that our foundation was too poor and it would be difficult for us to compete with other boy groups. He said some very negative things, which made us feel very negative as well."

Jinli carefully observed the space between their eyebrows, raised her eyebrows, and looked a little strange.

Logically speaking, after being eliminated from a talent show, they should have been frowning, indicating a setback in their careers.

The problem is, their brows are adorned with a purple aura coming from the east!

Moreover, this purple aura is not something that will arrive in the future, but rather it has arrived now.

Could it be that, without the company's knowledge, the trainees' reputation has been reversed? Many people believe that their talent has created opportunities for them in the future.

Because she had recently connected via video to the Taoist temple statues and prayed across the internet, she received some divine power, so Jinli still had plenty of divine power.

This time, in addition to seeing auspicious purple aura, I also noticed some unusual things.

What was thought to be a lost cause actually harbors a hidden hope, and this hope is very strong. With just a little effort, they can reignite the fire in their careers.

Unfortunately, the fire was extinguished by an even stronger force shortly after it started burning, so it couldn't generate any power.

But it doesn't matter.

The moment the flames were lit, their bodies began to accumulate energy. Although the flames were blown out midway, the energy remained stored within them.

When the right opportunity comes in the future, it will spring back to life and reignite an even stronger flame.

Moreover, the arrival of this flame occurred at two specific points.

It could arrive next year, or within three years; it depends on the choices these people make.

Jinli's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked as she came to her senses, "Do you want to change your agent?"

The trainees were speechless, taken aback by Jinli's blunt words.

No, is it so easy to change an agent?
Is it really okay to just say it directly?
Shouldn't we say it privately?

Jinli saw the expressions on their faces and smiled indifferently: "Your manager is also a newcomer and lacks experience."

If you are having trouble communicating with him, I suggest you switch to another agent.

Of course, I won't replace you with a senior agent. You're all newcomers, but I'll try my best to arrange someone whose energy is compatible with yours, someone who can encourage and support you as you move forward together.

You don't need to worry. As long as I say the word, that agent won't dare to resent you, much less make things difficult for you.

Seeing how easily Jinli spoke, the trainees looked at each other and began to speak up boldly as well.

“If you can change, then change. I’m really fed up with my manager’s constant sighing. We’re just newcomers, we can’t compete with those experienced boy groups, but he always wants us to be better. Isn’t that just making things difficult for us?” “Yeah, actually I’ve always wanted to tell my manager not to compete with others, because we can’t compete anyway. But as soon as I bring it up, my manager says I have no ambition, that a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general isn’t a good soldier, which makes me really depressed.”

Finally, the composed captain said something insightful: "Actually, our manager is also anxious and really wants to make us famous. He's always there for our training sessions, afraid that we'll slack off."

He simply had too high expectations of us, and we could never quite meet them. Plus, we tend to believe that as long as we try our best, we'll often see no reward; in other words, we have a rather laid-back attitude. That's why we sometimes disagreed with our agent.

“However,” the captain emphasized, “it’s not that we can’t work out with this agent, it just takes some time. As we gain more resources and become more famous, the agent won’t slack off; he’ll only push us harder.”

Jinli understood. "After saying all that, you just feel that the manager is putting too much pressure on you."

The trainees all nodded.

Jinli understood their thoughts and said calmly, "Then find someone who can understand you. But you need to think carefully. Every agent has a different style. Finding someone who is equally easygoing may not necessarily make their careers better."

She paused, then said with great interest, "Every choice you make, every major decision you make, will affect your future, so think it over carefully. It's not too late to give me an answer tomorrow."

What choice will you make this time?
Jinli was a little curious.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this choice will determine whether they become wildly popular within a year or within three years.

The topic suddenly became somewhat heavy, so she immediately changed the subject, asking how their variety show filming went.

Compared to complaining about the company, complaining about talent shows makes people want to vent more.

"It's terrible. They maliciously edited our performance and didn't give us the original stage performance they designed."

"You want to compare us to June Summer, but you don't think about why you always compare the bad to the good. If you're so capable, compare the good to the good."

"I think we put a lot of effort into our performance on the first stage. Our breath control was very stable and there was no tremor when we sang live. It's a pity that we were eliminated in the end."

One trainee mentioned the first public performance stage, and other trainees immediately followed suit, complaining that the production team was spreading false information and just wanted to film them making fools of themselves.

"After our performance, we found out that only three teams chose to sing live, while the other dozen or so teams lip-synced with backing vocals, so they only needed to focus on dancing. It was very unfair to us."

The team leader summarized: "The production team didn't want us to stay for that long in the first round. It's normal to be eliminated in the first performance. We had already accepted this result, so we didn't feel anything after we were actually eliminated."

We had packed our luggage a day in advance, and after the production crew took us back to our dorm, we immediately took a taxi and left without anyone having to urge us.

Jinli praised them, saying, "They have a great attitude."

She explained, "This is your first time participating in a talent show, so you're not very familiar with the process. Compared to hard skills, variety shows value entertainment more."

So don't feel down or regretful about being eliminated so quickly. Just think of it as a variety show. The reason you were eliminated wasn't because of your abilities, but because the production team wanted to create conflict.

Everyone knew that Jinli was trying to comfort them, but it has to be said that after talking with Jinli, their previously low spirits were rekindled and their fighting spirit was rekindled.

Sui Lingfang came in at this moment and served them a low-fat meal.

Jinli and Fangjie sat on the other side and talked about some follow-up work.

The trainees didn't dare to turn their heads to look at them, nor could they hear anything, because they were quite far apart.

Jinli and Sui Lingfang were discussing the trainees, and the trainees were also discussing Jinli.

They were all very excited, feeling like they had met their idol, who was perfect.

"Before I became a trainee, when I saw pictures posted by others, they all said that Jinli was approachable and had no idol airs at all. Now that I see her, she really lives up to the reputation!"

"Jinli has such a wonderful personality. She actually listened to my complaints. It feels like a dream."

"Captain, will we ever be able to reach the same level as Jinli?"

The captain shook his head: "Sister Jinli is no longer an idol, she has switched to acting. In the idol world, Pink Girl has become a legendary existence, irreplaceable and unbreakable."

He paused for a moment, then said wistfully, "If I become an actor, perhaps there's a slight chance I can catch up."

Unfortunately, Chenxi Entertainment is not providing them with acting opportunities right now; they only want them to pursue an idol career.

However, these trainees don't really care whether they become idols or actors.

As long as you can become famous, what does it matter whether you're an idol or an actor?

Sui Lingfang was also chatting with Jinli.

She didn't come in at the exact time; rather, she received a message from Jinli and pushed the door open at just the right moment.

The weight-loss meals arrived early, but to her surprise, Jinli chatted with the group of trainees for half an hour.

She asked curiously, "Why have we been chatting for so long? Did you reveal some interesting gossip?"

Jinli shook her head: "No, I was just curious about their trainee training, so I asked a few more questions, and also asked about my thoughts on participating in the talent show."

Sui Lingfang asked, "How do you feel?"

Jinli smiled gently: "They are all innocent children. The company should protect them well."

She didn't mention changing their agent to Sui Lingfang; she'd talk about it tomorrow.

Jin Li reminded Sui Lingfang of a text message she had received earlier.

"This message was sent by the production team of 'Shining Glory.' I don't know why it was sent to my phone. It should have been sent to their agent. At first, I thought it was a scam text message, but after checking, I found that it was the official account of the program."

Jinli asked curiously, "What did they send you?"

Sui Lingfang chuckled softly: "A revival tournament format."

"Resurrection? The resurrection tournament is starting so soon?" Jinli was a little surprised.

Although she doesn't watch variety shows much, she knows that talent shows can't start a revival round right after the first performance.

They were eliminated right from the start and didn't even build up any popularity, so how can they be revived?

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Yes, I just found out, and I also thought it was outrageous. I treated it as a funny text message and didn't reply."

Jinli suddenly thought of the trainees' faces. Could it be that the purple aura and vitality they were nurturing came from here?
Things are getting more and more interesting.

Whether or not they participate in the revival competition will also affect the timing of their sudden rise to fame.

Jinli specifically said, "Sister Fang, I feel that such a large production team wouldn't deliberately send the wrong text message. Since you didn't reply, there might be follow-up contact."

"Let me know what the company's plans are next; I'd like to hear some gossip."

Sui Lingfang glanced at Jinli and asked suspiciously, "Do you know something?"

Jinli waved her hand nonchalantly: "No, no, I'm just an idle bystander."

Sui Lingfang's doubts deepened.

It would have been fine if Jinli hadn't specifically mentioned it, but as soon as she did, she felt something was off, and the "lucky koi radar" in her mind started working again.
