I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 577 Call the Police if You Dare to Force It to Stop (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The president of Chenxi Entertainment is not one to dawdle.

It's fine if the opinion is uncertain, but once it's confirmed, it's executed decisively.

Half an hour later, all the agents in the meeting received a group message from the CEO—

[Trainees from the company will not participate in the "Shining Glory" revival competition!]

The agents were all a bit confused when they received this message.

They were discussing it not long ago, and a decision was made in less than half an hour. Does the president have some other tricks up his sleeve?

The agents thought of Sui Lingfang, who had spoken with the president alone, and went to her specifically to find out what was going on.

Ignoring her colleagues' curious glances, she said in a nonchalant tone, "I just shared my thoughts on this variety show with the president. Whether or not to have our company's trainees participate in the revival competition was the president's own decision."

After his colleagues left, Zou Da also came over to inquire about the news.

He was different from others; he understood Sui Lingfang better and thought about her more deeply.

The president's decisive rejection of the "Shining Glory" revival competition must have been due to Sui Lingfang providing better suggestions and ideas.

Zou Da asked, "I don't want to know what specific suggestions you made. I just want to know if your proposal might hide any huge gossip, whether we need to do crisis public relations, and if so, in what aspect, so I can be prepared."

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "Don't worry, there won't be any gossip or public opinion crisis. Once the news gets out, no one will say anything bad about our company."

It's perfectly reasonable for a company to invest in variety shows and have its own trainees participate.

However, this needs to be kept secret at this stage.

It's still far from certain; we can make an official announcement once everything is more or less in order.

Of course, the more important reason is that if the news that Jinli was going to invest in this variety show is spread too early, then all sorts of big investors will want to get involved, and Chenxi Entertainment may not be able to get involved.

At that point, even the trainees might not be guaranteed to be from their own organization.

Hearing her say that, Zou Da felt relieved. "Then I'll continue working on Jinli's public relations plan."

Upon hearing this, Sui Lingfang asked curiously, "How many public relations plans did the company come up with for Jinli?"

Zou Da gets a headache just thinking about it.

"We came up with eight plans, but the CEO felt they weren't enough and asked us to come up with two more to make a total of ten. But my team really couldn't come up with anything, so we decided to think of solutions for two extreme scenarios."

With only two days left until the college entrance examination results are released, the company has been making preparations well in advance.

Once Jinli's results are released, a corresponding public relations strategy will be developed based on online public opinion.

It's better to be well-prepared this time than to be caught off guard.

Sui Lingfang raised an eyebrow: "Extreme situation?"

Zou Da: "We don't usually consider extreme cases in public relations, such as doing extremely well or extremely poorly, because it's too difficult to achieve in reality."

Sui Lingfang's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly said casually, "In the case of an extremely good exam result, you can think more about how to guide public opinion so that people don't think there's something fishy going on."

Zou Da was taken aback.

A moment later, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Have you received any word from her, or did Jinli tell you something? Tell me more specifically, what score might she get?"

Sui Lingfang smiled faintly and remained silent. Only after Zou Da repeatedly urged her did she utter three words:

"Guess for yourself."

Zou Da: ...
-
Before Sui Lingfang could tell Jinli about the company's decision, someone else received the news even faster than Jinli.

That was Lin Yaofu.

She has spies within Chenxi Entertainment; the text message that the president sent to the group was forwarded to her by some people.

Lin Yaofu frowned slightly and pressed the informant for details: "Does your company have any other plans for those trainees?"

The informant replied, "No."

Lin Yaofu frowned even more; she couldn't understand it.

If there are no other plans, then "Shining Glory," which is currently quite popular, is the only opportunity that Chenxi Entertainment can seize.

They actually want to give up such a great opportunity. What are they thinking at Chenxi Entertainment?

Lin Yaofu decided to wait a little longer.

She had personally called the president of Chenxi Entertainment, who said he would consider it and give her a formal reply.

Less than half an hour later, she received a call from the president of Chenxi Entertainment.

As expected, they brought up the issue of not participating in the knockout stage.

Lin Yaofu asked, "Does your company have any other arrangements for these trainees, such as having them participate in another variety show?"
Forgive my bluntness, but the fastest way for trainees to become famous is to debut through a talent show. This allows them to quickly accumulate popularity and cultivate a large fan base. If you still want them to follow the idol route, "Shining Glory" is their best choice.

The president of Chenxi Entertainment was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

But that's a golden pear!

No matter how excellent Lin Ya-fu's production team is, it can't compare to the good luck of her own artists.

The president once again declined the offer with impeccable discretion, without revealing a single word.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yaofu, with a sullen face, asked her assistant to check if any other companies were planning to hold talent shows recently.

If Chenxi Entertainment rejects her, it's either because someone else has extended an invitation to them for another talent show, or because Chenxi Entertainment has already arranged another variety show for the trainee.

Lin Yaofu leans more towards the former.

After all, none of the trainees are famous now, so what kind of shows can they be scheduled for?

Variety shows are meant to make money, not lose money.

While the assistant went to check, another staff member knocked on the door and came in, leaning over to say something.

After listening, Lin Yaofu frowned impatiently: "Go back and tell Tianding Entertainment that I have full authority over the revival competition, and they cannot interfere."

If they have any objections, they should talk to another investor. We also invested in "Shining Glory," so Tianding Entertainment isn't the only investor in this variety show.

If Tianding Entertainment hadn't interfered so much with the program and been so eager to make June Xia famous, she wouldn't have had to start the revival competition so early.

The variety show seems to be doing well right now, but only she senses the crisis. If this continues, the viewership will definitely gradually decline.

The key to making variety shows is on-camera presence and comedic timing, but she didn't see any redeeming qualities in those June Summer members.

Neither their personalities nor their way of dealing with people are suitable for variety shows.

If the production team hadn't covered up a lot for them, June Summer's scandals would probably have been exposed online long ago.

Lin Yaofu said expressionlessly, "This is a variety show. We're here to make money, not to be June Summer's nanny. Give me your exact words, and let them think what they want."

She had already envisioned a brilliant scenario: trainees from Chenxi Entertainment would return to the competition through a revival round, facing off against June Xia.

But now, with talented trainees not participating in the revival competition, she has to come up with another solution.

This doesn't stump her, but it does make things tricky for her.

Jinli soon learned of the company's plans. Sui Lingfang suggested, "We need you to come to the company to discuss the investment. Also, the results will be released the day after tomorrow. You can stay at the company tomorrow. After the results are released, there will be a lot of announcements and arrangements that need to be changed. I need to contact you frequently."

If your grades are outstanding, I'm worried the paparazzi will relentlessly pursue you. It's actually unsafe for you to stay alone in your large apartment; you might as well come to the company to hide."

Jinli thought for a moment and said, "How long do you think it would be safest to stay?"

Sui Lingfang: "At least a week."

She did the math for Jinli: "On the day the scores are released, major brands will call me asking for your results. We can't refuse, because it will affect whether your appearance fee increases or decreases."

Brand endorsement deals are manageable, but you can't just take endorsements and not participate in other events; you also need to prepare for some reality shows.

The audience is very curious about you. You can participate as a guest on some popular variety shows to satisfy their curiosity, and the pay is also high.

There are also some important announcements that the company can't make decisions for you directly; you need to make the decisions yourself. I think a week is a conservative estimate; half a month would be safer.

Chenxi Entertainment isn't without places to stay; Jinli stayed there before, and the conditions weren't bad.

So she said, "Then I'll go live at the company for half a month tomorrow and get everything sorted out at once."

Relieved to have found a cooperative artist, Sui Lingfang jokingly remarked:
"I just ran into Zou Da. He was having a lot of trouble. The CEO asked them to come up with ten public relations plans for your score. They came up with eight, but couldn't think of any more. They're planning to make the other two extreme cases."

"Extreme conditions?" Jinli asked curiously.

Sui Lingfang: "The results are either extremely good or extremely bad, and the conditions are very difficult to meet. It's just to make up the numbers for the president."

After hanging up the phone, Jinli suddenly remembered something and sent a message to the pink-themed girls' group.

I'll be staying at the company for the next two weeks. Anyone want to share a room with me?

Not long after the message was sent out, Xi Mengze was the first to raise his hand, but Qi Guanmingzhu immediately exposed him.

"Don't give me that. You're going to participate in 'I Am a Singer' in a few days. Sister Fang would rather you sleep in the variety show to perfect the arrangement of every song. How could she possibly let you live in the company?"

Xi Mengze also contradicted Qi Guanmingzhu: "You've been traveling abroad for so long, and now you say you want to sing and dance. You have to practice dancing every day, how do you find the time to stay at the company?"

Mengmeng and Pearl were bickering, while the others watched and cheered them on, making the group chat quite lively.

This group chat also brought out Ji Qinglian, who had been lurking and busy with announcements.

Lotus: [Ask Chenxi Entertainment if I can stay there for a while; I want to lay low for a bit.]

Jinli's eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately asked, "They'd definitely be happy for you to come, and they'll go out of their way to entertain you. But why did you suddenly want to come? Did something happen to Tianding Entertainment?"

Lotus: [It's hard to explain in a few words. I'll talk to you again at Dawn tomorrow. I'll probably be hiding for three to five days.]

Carp: [Good]

Jinli immediately sent the message to Sui Lingfang, who replied with several big exclamation marks, expressing her delight in receiving Ji Qinglian!
She had wanted to talk to Ji Qinglian for a long time, but unfortunately, she didn't have many opportunities to meet, and each time it was just a fleeting encounter.

Sui Lingfang is a strong woman, and so is Ji Qinglian; both prioritize their careers.

Once we can start chatting, we'll probably be on the same wavelength.

Time flew by, and the next day arrived quickly.

The results of the college entrance examination will be released tomorrow. Jinli packed some of her luggage and told Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng in advance to pack some as well, since they would also be staying at the company.

These two people are her assistants, and they need to run errands for her outside.

Even if she goes to the company, it doesn't mean Jinli can come and go as she pleases.

They actually set off quite early, fearing that paparazzi would come to ambush them at noon, so they left at six o'clock in the morning.

After setting off, Xiao Cheng frowned and, unusually, uttered a curse word.

"There were more than a dozen cars following behind, they almost crashed into us, are they crazy?!"

Jinli and Chen Qin looked at each other in disbelief. They had considered the possibility of paparazzi following them, but they hadn't expected them to be so aggressive.

Jinli asked, "Can we get rid of it?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "We can't shake them off in the city, so we have to drive outside the city. But this time we're going to Chenxi Entertainment openly and legitimately, so it's fine if they follow us. I don't believe those people would dare to stop me in the city."

Jinli said decisively, "If they dare to force us to stop, we'll call the police. The windows of this car have been reinforced; they can't break them."

"Okay." Xiao Cheng was relieved to receive Jinli's confirmation.

She deliberately slowed down a bit, because this was the city center, an area where pedestrians dart around, and it wouldn't be good if she hit someone while driving too fast.

Yes, Xiao Cheng will never admit that she deliberately drove slowly to suffocate the paparazzi.

Let's all slow down!

If they dare to overtake and force you to stop, then call the police.

The paparazzi in the car naturally noticed this situation and also noticed that the car was slowing down.

Some paparazzi couldn't help but say, "Brother, why don't we overtake her?"

As a result, the paparazzo was immediately punched on the head: "Why are you chasing her? Do you know where she's going? How can you get there before her?"

"do not know."

"So you wanted someone to get out of your car when you overtook it?"

"Can't you?"

The paparazzo who assaulted the man sneered, "Sure, but this is the city center. Look at all those cars around here. If we dare to overtake and force them to stop, we'll block people from getting to work, and they'll dare to call the police."

You just got your driver's license, and I think you don't want it anymore. Once the police arrive, it'll be difficult for anyone to handle! If this makes the headlines, all the other paparazzi will be ashamed of you!

Celebrities were already rude to paparazzi, and after the news broke that Jinli had been forced to stop, they became even more hostile towards them.

Given this precedent, celebrities will probably call the police next time they encounter this situation.

Tsk.

Being a paparazzi these days is tough!
Especially on the road, when they see traffic police squatting by the bushes early in the morning checking who is riding an electric bike without a helmet, the paparazzi dare not make any rash moves.

Morning Light Entertainment received advance notice and went to pick up Jinli.

With the company's vehicles escorting her, Jinli entered the company smoothly.

When Sui Lingfang heard about the scale of the paparazzi following them, she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"It's a good thing you were asked to hide at the company, not outside, otherwise those paparazzi would definitely keep chasing you."

Xiao Cheng and Chen Qin helped carry Jinli's luggage to the company's top floor, which had been completely emptied yesterday to make room for Jinli.

Of course, it was also to welcome Ji Qinglian's arrival.

The company originally used the top floor to store miscellaneous items, but they built several rooms there so that senior executives could stay overnight if they stayed to work overtime.

The company also charges for accommodation, but the price is half that of other guesthouses, and the environment is much better.
