I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 581 Feeling proud
Because Jinli video-called Gu Cheng, Zhang Guang also unexpectedly learned about Jinli's score.

He sent an invitation via his phone: "Jinli, is your company interested in issuing a joint performance statement with Guangyue Media?"

Jinli paused for a moment, then looked at Fang Jie, who was busy on the phone discussing public relations with Zou Da, and simply handed the phone to Fang Jie.

Sui Lingfang was taken aback when she heard Jinli's words, then her eyes lit up.

This seems like a very promising opportunity!
If two celebrities announce their results one after the other, it's easy for netizens to compare them and decide who is more outstanding.

However, if they announce it together, it proves that the two celebrities have a good relationship and are not afraid of comparisons.

In addition, although Jinli is quite popular, Guangyue Media, which was jointly established by March Sky and their manager, is also gaining popularity.

The joint statement from the two companies represents a powerful alliance, consolidating the popularity of both celebrities and preventing the discussion from being scattered among netizens.

This is a good thing for both Jinli and Gu Cheng.

Without consulting Zou Da, Sui Lingfang readily agreed: "Okay, let's issue a joint statement on our achievements, and then connect to a video conference in five minutes to share our public relations strategies, how about that?"

Zhang Guang readily agreed, "Okay!"

Jinli originally thought she didn't have to do anything, but Fangjie still dragged her down to a meeting.

Fangjie said earnestly, "You got such good grades, and the company is worried about how to promote them. It just so happens that you are here. Please feel free to share your ideas. We will do everything in your best interest."

Jinli thought it was her birthday because of her gentle and considerate nature.

She is the birthday goddess, she is the oldest.

Jinli smiled and said with a smile, "Okay."

Upon arriving at the lower floor, before even entering the conference room, she was greeted by a host of envious glances.

One of the agents suddenly mustered up the courage to say, "Jinli, well done!"

Jinli raised her eyebrows and smiled at him.

Seeing that she wasn't angry, the other agents boldly said, "Jinli, well done!"

Jinli, we are so proud of you!

"Jinli, study hard, you're doing great!"

As she spoke, applause erupted from the audience, with everyone genuinely applauding Jinli.

They are proud of Jinli, and they are honored by Jinli.

Such a talented artist, actually from their company, actually right next to them!
Two years ago, Jinli started live-streaming her studies every day, but everyone was skeptical, thinking it was just a publicity stunt.

But no one expected that this persistence would last for two years.

After several months of consistently live streaming, many people in the company changed their opinion of her, believing that she genuinely wanted to learn and make up for her past regrets.

At that time, they never imagined that two years later, Jinli would resolutely step onto the stage of the college entrance examination, and would overcome all obstacles to achieve a high score of 685!
If they had known Jinli would end up like this, they should have struck first and snatched Jinli from Sui Lingfang.

The person in front of you is not just an artist, but a shining God of Wealth and a gold ingot!

With her around, Chenxi Entertainment won't have to worry about its performance for the next 5 years, and their jobs will definitely be secure.

Sigh, I regret it so much!

Compared to Jinli's modesty and reserve, Sui Lingfang was like a victorious rooster, walking into the conference room with her head held high.

She noticed the looks her colleagues were giving her—looks filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

But what can I do?

Jinli, this high-performing stock, is hers!!

Upon entering the conference room, the team members were already inside, and Zhang Guang from Guangyue Media also appeared on the big screen.

Jinli noticed that Gu Cheng was also next to Zhang Guang.

Jinli waved her paw at him, and Gu Cheng winked at her.

Zhang Guang had already come up with a public relations plan, but when he communicated with Zou Da, he found that the plan that others had come up with was more complete, which did not seem to be something that could be thought of in a hurry.

Zhang Guang couldn't help but ask, "Did your company estimate Jinli's score in advance? Did you know she would get such a high score? This plan is very detailed, considering all kinds of outcomes and having very effective countermeasures."

If they hadn't guessed beforehand that the student would get a high score on the exam, what family would have come up with all sorts of promotional slogans and counter-attack methods?

It's only been half an hour since the results were announced. Humans aren't AIs; they can't immediately come up with a detailed plan to cope with four or five days of work.

Zou Da touched his nose sheepishly: "No, we didn't put any pressure on the artists. Jinli has never asked her how she did on the exam since it was over."

Zhang Guang was puzzled: "Then how did you come up with such a perfect plan so quickly?"

Zou Da: "Ahem, our CEO was farsighted. He had us create 10 plans, but when we ran out of plans, he took extreme scenarios into account."

We envisioned two scenarios: Jinli performing extremely poorly and extremely well on the exam, and we even developed detailed plans for each. We never expected that we would actually have to use one of those plans today.

Mentioning this, Zou Da's expression became somewhat dazed.

685 points!

In fact, the score was even better than the extremely good scenario he had envisioned.

When he initially envisioned a score of 985 for Jinli, everyone thought it was wishful thinking and a pipe dream. They submitted this proposal with the intention of deceiving her.

And it actually came in handy!
Fortunately, despite his bluffing, he was actually working on a serious plan that could be used immediately.

When Zou Da learned that Gu Cheng had scored a high score of 730, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

However, after Zhang Guang mentioned that Gu Cheng had attended a prestigious university abroad, everyone was no longer so surprised.

Excellent!
Excellent people are excellent no matter where they go.

Gu Cheng's score was originally supposed to be hidden, but because he was a member of the general public taking the college entrance examination, the process he went through was different from that of students taking the college entrance examination.

The government has set up special enrollment quotas for members of the public, which will not take up the enrollment quotas for full-time students, so the scores are not masked (this is a special setting for the work, and it is not the case in reality).

There was already a solution available, and Zhang Guang felt that even with further improvements, it wouldn't be much better, so he said:
"Let's use your plan. You don't need to monitor Gu Cheng's public opinion; we have people on our side doing that. We'll work together to see if there's any comparative public opinion surrounding the two celebrities and intervene in a timely manner."

Zou Da readily agreed.

With the two companies working together, the efficiency was incredibly fast.

Ten minutes later, a statement was issued across the entire internet.
-
The scene shifts back to before the discussion between Chenxi Entertainment and Guangyue Media.

Because the two companies have not publicly released the results of the two artists' exams for a long time, many netizens believe that the two stars did not do well.

Even though Jinli's fans later went online to refute the rumors, saying that everyone was immersed in joy and had no interest in going online, some of the public opinion was suppressed.

However, after half an hour, there was still no response from the two major companies, and these public opinions resurfaced, even more so than before.

People in the industry can tell at a glance that it's a competitor stirring up trouble.

Tianding Entertainment.

He Yan specifically asked his assistant, "Have our online trolls been mobilized yet?" The assistant replied, "Yes, President. Right now, the internet is full of criticism of the two celebrities, but—"

He hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Aren't we being too hasty? It's only been half an hour; it might be announced soon."

He Yan rolled his eyes: "Have you ever seen someone who did well on a test not announce their results immediately?"
Chenxi Entertainment is a small company, you could say it lacks experience, but is Guangyue Media a small company? Zhang Guang has been in the industry for so many years, do you think he would be completely unprepared?

"So, those two celebrities must have done poorly on the exam," he said with absolute certainty.

"Besides, we only hired online trolls to push things up, and many other celebrities followed suit. We're not the only ones stirring up public opinion now."

He Yan smiled confidently: "Even if these two companies want to retaliate later, they won't be able to find fault with Tianding Entertainment. After all, our company is so big."

It must be said that He Yan is very confident.

But even He Yan didn't expect that when the results were too good, it would also throw the experienced company into a panic.

Ten minutes later, on the blog.

The internet is already filled with criticism.

[The results haven't been announced yet, so the score must have been terrible. It's been so long, the statement should have been released by now, or should we continue to discuss it?]

[Let's all go, this announcement will probably be released tonight.]

[I noticed that Jinli's older fans did quite well on the exam. Could it be that Jinli burned herself out to light up others?]

[Haha, it's all just a show. You really think Jinli wants to go to university?]

I told you she was just putting on a show; she just happened to pass the academic aptitude test.

I just don't understand those who say it's a show. Did they not do any practice questions or study? Or are they just using this popularity to fleece their fans and sell products through live streaming?

If live-streaming learning every day is just for show, then your celebrities could also profit from this traffic! I'd definitely watch it every day!

Suddenly, a lot of comments targeting Jin Li and Gu Cheng appeared online, and the fan clubs of the two stars were swamped.

Originally, Gu Cheng's fans only wanted to do public relations for Gu Cheng, but later they saw that many netizens were criticizing Jin Li and bringing up Gu Cheng as well, saying that Gu Cheng was also putting on a show, which made these fans unhappy.

They don't like Jinli.

But they livestream every day, without accepting tips or selling products. They just quietly practice their problems. How can they put on a show?
Who puts on a show like this?
Those celebrities who openly glance behind them on the red carpet to see if there are any obstacles, and then faint after a moment of disbelief, none of them say it's just for show!
As for Gu Cheng, he didn't even do a live stream; he went to take the exam secretly.

Even many of their fans are unaware of this, let alone considering it a publicity stunt.

Therefore, in order to salvage Gu Cheng's reputation, Gu Cheng's fans also helped Jin Li with public relations.

[Yes, yes, yes, your cat boy does live-streaming sales every day, saying that filming is so hard, that he's filming until 3 a.m., and that he soaks in clean mineral water for half an hour and says he feels bloated. This isn't just for show.]

[Your White Rabbit sister has to fight for top billing when she participates in variety shows. She wants a glamorous stage but doesn't want to practice dancing. She even gangs up with others to ostracize another celebrity and vote her out. Isn't this just a show?]

[What? Your favorite celebrity is already filming short dramas? You keep posting pictures of their classic characters every day, and recently they're even going to play NPCs at tourist attractions during summer vacation to get a second job. They keep selling nostalgia. Isn't this just a show?]

It has to be said that Gu Cheng, or rather, the fans of March Sky, are indeed formidable. They have been able to dominate the internet for so long by building their reputation through one achievement after another.

Just as the fans of the two celebrities were embroiled in a fierce battle with others, and netizens were focusing their attention on the infighting between fans, haters, and online trolls.

Suddenly, both Guangyue Media and Chenxi Entertainment issued a joint statement.

Chenxi Entertainment: [Chenxi Entertainment and Guangyue Media jointly announced that artist @Jinli scored 685 points in the college entrance examination, and artist @Gucheng scored 730 points in the college entrance examination.]

The two artists encourage each other in their pursuit of a balance between their studies and careers, showcasing the positive spirit of contemporary youth.

We refuse to trivialize the fruits of our labor. Both artists cherish this achievement, and this is the last time we will make a statement regarding it; we will not comment further in the future.

Morning Light Entertainment will grow together with its artists and strive to give back to the public with better works.

Guangyue Media's statement was almost identical to Chenxi Entertainment's, except that the subject was changed. It first mentioned Gu Cheng's achievements, and then Jin Li's achievements.

Because neither artist wanted to use their achievements as a point of boasting or publicity, neither company released specific scores for each subject.

The release of this statement shocked all netizens, who then went on a frenzy of discussion on the official media accounts of the two companies.

Before long, Jinli and Gu Cheng were trending on social media!
#Jinli actually scored 685 points#
#Gu Cheng actually scored 730 points#
#The company says Jinli and Gu Cheng encourage each other#
#Why do celebrities score so high on the college entrance exam?#
#So smart people get exposed online every day#
Are Jinli and Gu Cheng's scores real?
#Is Gu Cheng the top scorer in the province or city?#
……

The two celebrities practically dominated the trending topics, occupying the top ten spots, and even taking turns topping the trending list.

Moreover, their names occupied a significant portion of the top ten trending topics, with each related topic experiencing an astonishing surge in popularity.

Even casual netizens have joined in this time, with some expressing shock, others disbelief, and still others believing the company is telling a huge lie.

A small group of people said the results were fake and threatened to report them to the police for false advertising.

But this time, the two companies were just observing the drama online and responded incredibly quickly.

Netizens didn't believe it, so they posted screenshots of the two people's scores, removing the individual subject scores and showing the total score.

When a netizen called the police, they said they welcomed the police to come and question them and were willing to cooperate fully with the investigation.

After receiving reports from netizens and numerous complaints of fraud, local police quickly dispatched officers to the two companies to review the data.

Netizens waited anxiously, frantically expressing their disbelief online.

Is the gap between people really that big? Let's not even talk about Gu Cheng; he graduated from a prestigious foreign university and always seemed to come from a well-off family, receiving an elite education from a young age. But what about Jin Li? What does Jin Li have?

Jinli's fans: [Jinli has perseverance ^_^]

[Jinli only has a junior high school diploma, how could she get such a high score? I don't believe it, it's fake!]

Jinli's fans: [You're just jealous! ^_^]

Is Jinli cheating?

Jinli's fans: [Be careful, everyone has to be responsible for their words, and fans are no exception.]

Not only do netizens not believe it, but even many industry insiders don't believe it.

Jinli is filming every day, and although she studies via live stream every day, she only studies for a few hours. How come she scores better than students who go to school every day?
"It's fake, it's fake, it's all fake!"

Upon hearing Jinli's score online, Li Xunfang couldn't help but say sourly.

"Sister Zhao, can you help me hire some online trolls to smear Jinli, saying that her company falsified scores and that Jinli cheated!"

Zhao Rui cautiously said, "It's better not to buy. A large number of online trolls entered the market before, but they stopped after they learned that some netizens had reported it to the police. Let's wait for the police report."

If they continue their offensive now, they'll likely be held responsible later; they're all just observing and waiting to see what happens.

Li Xunfang didn't believe it.

He Yan also didn't believe it.

"730 points, 685 points, these scores are enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, how did they get these scores? This is absolutely a lie, false advertising!"

He instructed his assistant: "Find a group of people to make phone calls and complain that they are engaging in malicious marketing, creating a negative social atmosphere, and promoting the idea of ​​getting something for nothing!"

The assistant took out his phone, about to make a call, when a message notification popped up on his phone.

The assistant paused, his expression complicated, and said, "President, the police have released their investigation results, and some netizens have already received a response from the police."
