I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 582 Strive to Strive for Ambition
He Yan frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

He asked, "What did the police say?"

The same question was asked by Li Xunfang.

"What did the police say?"

Just ten minutes after Zhao Rui said to wait and see, the police responded to the netizen who reported the incident.

The police have not yet issued a statement, and usually no special statement is made for such incidents. However, some netizens reported the incident to the police on the spot and received a written response immediately.

[Police have been dispatched to the scene to investigate and have confirmed that Jinli and Gu Cheng's scores are accurate!]

The netizen immediately posted the reply online.

Besides sharing this picture, the netizen also expressed great admiration, saying, "At first, I thought it was a publicity stunt. Since the child really likes to follow celebrities, I was afraid he would imitate them. So I let him go out to work and study part-time."

Unexpectedly, Jinli and Gu Chengzhen achieved such high scores. Amazing, truly amazing!

These two celebrities are amazing! My child really likes Gu Cheng, and I think I can use this to motivate her to study harder. Even her idol got such high scores, so she needs to work even harder. I don't need Tsinghua or Peking University, at least she should get into a top-tier university (lol).

This netizen was the first to post it, and later several other netizens posted their conversations with the police, all of whom confirmed that the results were true.

After posting their stories, these netizens even turned around and called on everyone—

[Stop calling the police station! Save your resources and give the lines to those who need them more!]

Now, those netizens who had been jumping up and down accusing the results of being fabricated were speechless.

Jinli and Gu Cheng's fans didn't let them off the hook, digging up their previous comments and tagging them one by one.

Come out here and take your punishment!

[Didn't you say it was fabricated? Why aren't you out now? Who said they'd eat history live if the results were real?!]

[You bark and bark! You were so loud before the results were announced, and you're still barking now that they're out. Even the police say the results are real, so what more do you want to say?]

The haters were proven wrong, they've fallen silent, they're playing dead.

As for those online trolls...

The online trolls were silenced by the fans.

Online trolls are paid to do things, but that doesn't mean they want to go to jail.

Spreading rumors based on established facts can lead to legal consequences.

Even if the client offers a high price for this deal, if it can't be done, it simply can't be done.

Moreover, since this termination is due to force majeure, major marketing companies are not required to refund money.

Netizens were shocked, and industry peers were even more shocked.

Even Lian Baozhi, a silent fan of Jin Li, couldn't help but ask upon hearing Jin Li's score and the possibility of getting into prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University:
"Sister Shan, is this result real?"

Lu Shanjie said with a sigh, "It seems fake, doesn't it? When I first learned about this result, I also thought it was fake."

"Netizens were even more skeptical than I was, and they even called the police. The police responded quickly and personally confirmed that the scores of both celebrities were genuine!"

Lu Shanjie looked at Lian Baozhi, who was in shock, and suddenly said, "I remember your education level isn't very high either. Have you ever thought about pursuing further education?"

Lian Baozhi was stunned for a while, then suddenly understood what her agent meant and quickly shook her head.

"No, no, I don't want to take the college entrance exam again, I can't do it."

I can't get that high a score, so I shouldn't embarrass myself. I could spend two years, maybe even ten, and still not do well!

She was very self-aware; she was simply not cut out for studying and had no interest in it.

Jinli is able to persist in doing practice questions and live streaming every day, accepting public supervision, and has a very strong ability to withstand pressure.

She can't.

Even a single criticism from netizens would likely break their spirits.

She has been in the entertainment industry for several years, and as a celebrity, she is able to remain calm in the face of attacks from haters.

But learning is different!

As a poor student, I often struggle to absorb information during study sessions, and I can't understand practice problems. I constantly doubt whether my study methods are effective...

Even a few criticisms from netizens can really break a person's defenses and cause them to break down.

In unfamiliar territory, she doesn't have such a strong mental defense.

Lu Shanjie said with a sense of disappointment, "Jinli and Gu Cheng have already paved the way. As long as celebrities persist in studying through live streaming like Jinli, let alone enduring two years, even just enduring one year to take the college entrance examination and walk into the examination hall, they will be praised by netizens."

Look at Jinli and Gu Cheng, they're all trending on the top of the blogs, attracting so much traffic. To reach that scale, you'd need to invest at least tens of millions in marketing and promotion!

As long as you persevere, reaching the top tier is just around the corner. I won't always worry about you being affected by negative publicity from LP Company; you're one of the most positive stars!

Lian Baozhi refused to accept the pie in the sky offered by her agent.

"The reason why Jinli and Gu Cheng caused such a sensation is because they have good grades, so netizens praised them, were shocked, and lost their composure."

If it were any other celebrity, they wouldn't be the subject of such widespread online discussion if they had only gotten into a regular university; they would at least have gotten into a top-tier university.

Sister Shan, don't think getting into a top-tier university is easy. Think about how many students there are nationwide, and how many can actually reach the cutoff score. Just one point can make a huge difference between millions of students!
It's so hard to get a good score on the exam!

Seeing that her own artist was not easily fooled, Lü Shanjie could only give up in frustration.

She seemed to have thought of something and said, "You went to support Jinli's movie before, and netizens saw it and posted it online. Jinli also said something nice about you on her blog. It seems like you two have a pretty good relationship."

Anyway, she always manages to find that her artists are browsing Jinli's blog.

I don't know what's so interesting about it. Jinli rarely posts on her blog, and when she does, it's all business-related.

When she's not posting, her blog's comment section is full of netizens making wishes.

Lu Shanjie was shocked every time she saw those comments.

Not only Jinli's fans like to take photos and make wishes at the spot, but even ordinary passersby like to leave a "I was here" message.

If the power of a vow could materialize, Lü Shanjie felt that Jinli had probably already attained immortality.

Lian Baozhi, unaware of her agent's thoughts, cautiously said, "I offended her when we appeared on a variety show together years ago."

Later, when my wife got into trouble, she specifically sought out Jinli, hoping to reconcile with her. That's when my relationship with Jinli improved somewhat. My acquaintance with her is only superficial.

Lu Shanjie smiled and said, "I think Jinli doesn't dislike you, nor has she kicked you when you were down. You two have even interacted. Now that she got such good grades, shouldn't you post a blog to congratulate her?"

Lian Baozhi was somewhat tempted by the idea, but hesitated and asked, "Will it work?"

Lu Shanjie said, "She's so popular right now, even if you don't try to piggyback on her fame, many other celebrities will rush to do so. What difference will one more person make?"

Lian Baozhi's eyes lit up.

Tianding Entertainment President's Office

After the assistant told He Yan the results of the police investigation, he was not surprised to see He Yan's ashen face.

He Yan was silent for a moment before saying, "Is it possible that the police are also involved—" The assistant's eyelids twitched, and he quickly interrupted, "President, be careful what you say!"

He Yan shut his mouth.

He glanced at the statements released by Chenxi Entertainment and Guangyue Media again, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "They only released the overall score, but didn't show the individual subject scores. Who knows if there's something fishy going on?"

He Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Aren't there many people on the internet who don't believe the announcements and statements? Surely some people suspect they're fake. How about we don't call on online trolls to spread false information, but instead buy traffic for these people to gain greater exposure?"

The assistant hesitated and said, "We can do that, but President, those people might be sued by both companies because of the huge exposure."

He Yan said indifferently, "If we don't buy him traffic, other artists will. That's the power of public opinion. Before they spread those unfounded rumors, they have to bear the corresponding responsibility."

He didn't recognize the executioner at all.

The assistant glanced at the president a few times silently before leaving to run errands.

Not long after, He Yan's phone rang. It was a call from the head of a high-end luxury brand.

The man said, "He Yan, I can't keep my promise to you. The cooperation with Liu Yuexia is completely canceled."

He Yan's face instantly turned ugly.

"Uncle, I didn't ask you to hire June Summer as a spokesperson. These are all businesses owned by our relatives. Can't you even let him attend a new product launch event?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but our brand plans to have March Band as our spokesperson. Zhang Guang has made it clear that June Summer cannot appear in any group with March Band. How am I supposed to choose?"

"Xiao Yan," the man said earnestly, "you should think less about crooked paths in the future and focus more on how to expand the company and cultivate more outstanding artists, instead of just relying on connections!"

"As long as your artists are outstanding, not only me, but also the heads of other brands will be eager to sign your artists without having to beg anyone."

He Yan's face contorted with anger. He took a few deep breaths and tried to remain calm as he said:
"Uncle, June Summer is just starting out, and its popularity is already quite good. Everyone needs a period of accumulation. I'm just helping to speed up that process. Believe me, June Summer has even greater potential than March Sky."

The man shook his head and said, "Xiao Yan, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but I really can't. I called this time specifically to remind you that Zhang Guang is a veteran in the industry and knows the rules well."

Tianding Entertainment is a large and powerful company, so they're not afraid of offending them. But they have March Sky in their hands, which is their biggest trump card. You'd better make peace with them as soon as possible.

"June Summer is just a new team, not worth Zhang Guang's attention. As long as you speak politely, he'll give you face out of respect for Tianding Entertainment."

With a "beep," He Yan's phone was disconnected.

He angrily gripped his phone. What the hell? He, the president of Tianding Entertainment, had to beg Zhang Guang to show mercy!
He refused to believe it; Tianding Entertainment was a large and powerful company, so why would it be afraid of stars and agents who switched companies?

However, He Yan was soon proven wrong.

That phone call was just the beginning; after that, he kept receiving phone calls.

All the resources he had previously secured for June Summer through personal connections have fallen through!
Some of these people were the ones who flattered him when he first approached him, trying to curry favor with him, which is why they were willing to give June Summer a notice.

Some people helped him after he mentioned it to them through an introduction, and the other person was willing to do him a favor.

Some of them were recruited through various personal connections.

The seemingly enormous network of connections crumbled like a broken spiderweb the moment Gu Cheng announced the scores; a mere stone thrown into it was enough to break it under the weight of the broken web.

No matter how much He Yan pleaded or even threatened them, those people refused to budge.

The company has already sent out some of the announcements and schedules to June Summer, and netizens have all seen them.

But these brands would rather breach the contract than give June Summer a notification.

There's only one reason: the brand prefers to invite March Band to participate in the event!
At this moment, He Yan understood why March Sky was always considered the pillar of Tianding Entertainment and enjoyed the best resources.

"Old He, hurry up and go talk to Zhang Guang to make peace, otherwise every time Tianding Entertainment launches a group, he will target it, and the brand will only have to choose one of the two."

The industry insider on the other end of the phone advised.

He Yan's face turned ashen, and he said fiercely, "Tian Ding Entertainment has so many artists under its umbrella, I don't believe they can all be blacklisted!"

"Yes, Zhang Guang can't possibly shut down those senior people with extensive connections, but he only needs to keep an eye on you promising newcomers!"
Tianding Entertainment is a large and powerful company, but it's impossible for them to invest in everything just to promote newcomers.

"beep--"

He Yan's face turned pale and then flushed as the phone was hung up on him again.

online.

The impact of Jinli and Gu Cheng announcing their results continues.

Guangyue Media has launched a strong counterattack against Tianding Entertainment's suppression over the past few days, which has garnered widespread support within the industry.

Although Jinli had no obvious competitors, she made Chenxi Entertainment and its artists famous.

Not only are Jinli's appearances in high demand, but other artists under Chenxi Entertainment are also experiencing a surge in appearance requests.

Sui Lingfang casually answered a phone call.

Since the announcement, she has received many calls from unknown numbers, but she has not answered any of them.

Unless a contact person is noted.

Even if there are notes, she will consider whether to answer based on the importance of the position.

Ha, it's a buyer's market now. Take it or leave it, there are plenty of people who will buy.

"You want to book Jinli for work? What do you want her to do? Participate in a talk show? Oh, no way." Sui Lingfang's red lips curled slightly, her words carrying a hint of pride.

"She has already been scheduled for an interview with CCTV and will not accept any interview invitations within a month."

"Oh, you're willing to wait three months?"

Sui Lingfang considered for a moment and said, "I can schedule a time for you, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to pick you up within three months. I can only schedule a time for you, and I'm not sure if I can definitely pick you up. Moreover, there is a high chance that it will be delayed until within five months."

The person on the other end of the phone was saying something excitedly, but Sui Lingfang only said, "It's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you, but with Jinli's score, I won't tell you what her market value is. Even if you offer more money to cut in line, I can't make any promises to you."

As you know, you're not the only one who wants to raise the price. Also, Jinli specifically told me to book according to normal rates and not to inflate prices privately, so everything must be done through official channels.

Of course, according to normal market prices, the price of Jinli has already doubled compared to the previous day.

However, if left unchecked, it's normal for prices to triple, quadruple, or even five or six times.

Jinli was respectfully invited into a conference room by Zou Da.

The screen was already filled with a dense array of schedules.

After hanging up her private call, Fangjie rushed to the conference room, already holding a large stack of notices.

She quickly got to the point: "Before the scores came out, several luxury brands contacted me, saying they wanted to talk about Jinli's gigs. I said I would contact them after the scores came out. Should I contact them now?"

Everyone in the team has worked as an agent before and is very knowledgeable about artists' affairs.

Zou Da said, "What contact? We don't need to take the initiative to contact them. Let them come to us. It's not like we're begging them for announcements. They're the ones who need Jinli to do the publicity."

Just then, Jinli's phone rang.

She looked down and saw that it was a call from Dai Xueling, the president of Fangfei.

Jinli had a premonition that this time, the caller would give her a surprise.
