I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 600 The CP name for Orange and Pear: Vitamin (Seeking monthly votes)
After Jinli finished her interview at Chenxi Entertainment, she left the company and went to N City, where the "Dawn" film crew was located.

The journey was smooth, with only a few paparazzi following the car.

Most paparazzi would work on the spot after receiving a response, process it, and send it to the company, which would then publish it through the company's media accounts.

This process was compressed into half an hour by many paparazzi.

If it's any later, I won't be able to get the front page headline.

Time was tight, so they didn't have the energy to continue with Jinli.

"Sister Jinli, should we shake them off?"

Xiao Cheng saw a familiar license plate number behind him in the mirror and asked.

Jinli thought for a moment and shook her head: "No need, let them follow me. I'm going out to participate in an event this time, and I need to be in the public eye, so I can't stay completely hidden."

Xiao Cheng readily agreed.

After she finished speaking, she added with some regret, "I thought I could try out the new techniques I learned today."

Jinli couldn't help but look at Chen Qin, her eyes clearly asking: Where did she learn that?

Chen Qin shook her head: I don't know either.

Jinli: ?
Chen Qin: ? ?

Suddenly, Chen Qin seemed to remember something, took out her phone and opened a video by a content creator. Coincidentally, this content creator was a race car driver.

Chen Qin handed the phone to Jinli, who glanced down and saw that the content creator was teaching everyone how to overtake on curves, how to perform flashy overtaking maneuvers, and how to accelerate overtaking on a straight line...

Jinli remained silent for a moment, then quietly wrapped the thin blanket around herself.

Why am I a little scared?

Not long after Jinli set off, many media outlets published interviews and reports about her.

#Jinli claims she didn't know Gu Cheng was also taking the college entrance exam#
#Jinli and Gu Cheng have some academic discussions#
#Jinli envies Gu Cheng for being so smart#
……

It wasn't even evening yet, but the blog had already reached its peak in terms of page views for the day.

There is a type of fan in the world that was almost non-existent in the past, but once it appeared, it has grown exponentially every year.

The rapid growth has almost overturned the standard system established in the past, which included die-hard fans, career fans, mother fans, and boyfriend/girlfriend fans.

That is--

Horrible CP fans!
Everything can be paired up, breaking the boundaries between ancient and modern times, East and West. The ferocity of the fangs even developed into bestiality!
Of course, pairings between people of the same species are the mainstream, and cross-species love is still rare even in the world of pairings.

Originally, Gu Cheng and Jin Li were pursuing their own careers, one being a member of a boy band and the other a former member of a girl group, and they didn't have much interaction in terms of appearances.

However, the two met by chance during a variety show appearance.

Since then, CP fans have sprung up like wildfire meeting a spring breeze, instantly igniting sparks and joining the carnival of shipping CPs.

Their "vitamin" army expanded rapidly, from a group of only five people to a group of hundreds, then thousands, and after the broadcast of "Assassination", it expanded to a group of ten thousand!

The two celebrities didn't interact much in public, and their fans, known as "Vitamins," only secretly supported each other, remaining hidden among the celebrities' career-oriented fanbases.

However, now that the two of them are taking the college entrance examination together and both have achieved top-notch results, many netizens are even trying to pair them up, thinking that they are both high-IQ celebrities and imagining how good-looking and smart their child would be. At this point, the Vitamin Army has once again expanded at super-fast speed.

They have grown stronger with each trending topic, and have become a force to be reckoned with, capable of competing with the career fans of the two celebrities!

Today's trending topic featured Jin Li's rare mention of Gu Cheng. Regardless of what netizens think, fans are saying it's like Chinese New Year!

[Ahhh, my favorite couple finally started talking about each other!]
[Jin Li doesn't seem to need to avoid suspicion? Wait, it seems she doesn't need to avoid suspicion at all, because the only male celebrity she's close to is the band March Band!]
[Jinli never mentions the male actors she's worked with before!]
[I really want to know how Gu Cheng views Jin Li!!]
[Is there any paparazzi who can infiltrate Guangyue Media and catch Gu Cheng for an interview?]
Because the CP fans were so excited, they quickly created a tag that ranked in the top 20.

#Can Gu Cheng respond to Jin Li?#
Jinli arrived in N City and, reminded by Chen Qin, glanced at the trending topics. She said helplessly, "Only Gu Cheng and I took the college entrance exam. I thought netizens were already familiar with us and wouldn't react so badly just because I mentioned each other—"

She paused for a moment, then said, "What's the big deal?"

Chen Qin could vaguely guess that Jinli and Gu Cheng had a good relationship, but she didn't know exactly how good it was.

Sometimes she would have video calls with the two of them, but they would only talk about problems, so Chen Qin initially thought it was just a friendship of mutual struggle.

It was only after Fangjie reminded her that she suddenly realized: there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women!

Especially for two celebrities with very busy schedules, making time for each other to video chat every day—if this isn't love…

Ahem, stop there.

Chen Qin came to her senses and said, "Since the college entrance exam results came out, you and Gu Cheng have basically not shown up. Even when you do, you never accept media interviews, so netizens don't know your thoughts and feelings."

She suggested, "If you two talk more about each other, netizens won't be as inquisitive as they are now, and they'll be much less curious."

A thoughtful look flashed across Jinli's eyes. "Really?"

Chen Qin said, "According to the theory of acquaintances, if you often talk about each other, netizens will think it is friendship. Only people with something to hide will not have any contact with each other and keep it to themselves."

Jinli nodded: "That makes sense."

"Jinli!"

They only waited a short while before the crew arrived at the designated location and picked up Jinli, taking her to another car.

The production crew is still promoting in N City today, but they need to change the location. The hotel hasn't been confirmed yet, so the crew will send someone to pick up Jinli instead of letting her arrive directly.

The staff member apologized to Jinli repeatedly, looking flustered. "We're so sorry, we left two hours early, but we didn't expect to encounter a traffic accident. We waited at the accident scene for a long time. We're really sorry!"

Jinli said, "It's okay, it's alright."

Chen Qin quickly changed the subject: "Has the crew booked the hotel? Is Director Chu still at the cinema here?"

The staff member said, "It's not finalized yet. Director Chu isn't at the cinema; he's at a hotel near the cinema. He said the crew will set off together after picking up Sister Jinli, as there are some things he needs to discuss with her first."

When Chen Qin inquired about the plot, she learned that the male and female leads were present, with only Jin Li missing. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "We can take a family photo for the upcoming promotions!"

The staff member smiled and said, "We take photos at every stop, and fans and actors from the production team all get to take photos together."

Chen Qin smiled but remained silent.

Aside from the planned promotion for this stop, it's uncertain whether Jinli will be there for the next stop.

Soon, the car arrived at the hotel.

Surrounded by the crowd, Jinli quickly entered the hotel.

Inside a room with floor-to-ceiling windows, Xu Ting was talking to her agent about the current success of "Dawn".

Xu Ting glanced down out of the corner of her eye and seemed to see Jin Li. She straightened up and peered over. Her manager noticed her movement and asked, "What's wrong? What happened outside the window?"

Xu Ting frowned, looked away, and said, "A celebrity checked into the hotel. It seems to be Jin Li, but I couldn't see who it was."

"Jinli?" the agent said subconsciously. "It can't be her. She's so famous and at the peak of her popularity. She must be doing other gigs. She wouldn't come here to promote 'Dawn'."

While actors have an obligation to promote the production, it also depends on how busy they are.

Look at those popular actors, their schedules are packed every day, how can they find time for the film crew?

Without a doubt, Jinli is the hottest of the hottest, the undisputed god of traffic during the summer!
Xu Ting said with dissatisfaction, "She's a supporting actress in the crew, after all. It's normal for her to come and help promote the show. How can we do all the work while she reaps the benefits?"

The agent was speechless at her words. She thought that the entire production team relied on Jinli to generate buzz. It was already good enough that Jinli didn't pursue the matter further. Expecting others to promote the show for free was wishful thinking.

However, seeing the expression on Xu Ting's face, she wisely swallowed her words.

It was obvious to everyone that Xu Ting was acting strangely, especially after mentioning Jin Li; the jealousy in her eyes was practically spitting fire!
The agent said, "No matter what, with such great success as Dawn, you, as the leading actress, will be remembered in film history."

"Dawn" has been at the top of the charts for a week now, while "Air Rescue" in second place is gradually climbing the box office. The gap between the two is very small. You should put in more effort to generate some buzz for the film.

Xu Ting looked somewhat tired: "I've attended every promotional event and roadshow. I've done my best at every single one. I can't figure out what kind of buzz I can create for the production team?"

The agent replied, "Yes, just do your best."

In reality, he sighed inwardly.

Looking at Xu Ting's exquisitely made-up face, he couldn't help but think: the entertainment industry isn't just about being pretty; some people are beautiful, but they just don't have the luck to become famous.

Xu Ting is beautiful and has good acting skills. She has worked hard for many years and has several well-received movies, but unfortunately, she hasn't had a blockbuster hit.

Now that we finally have a huge hit, it's only because of someone else's fame that it's achieved. It's a bit like fate playing tricks on us.

Agent: "I mentioned to you before that you need to change your career path and take on more down-to-earth projects that are closer to people's lives. I've found a script that I like and sent it to you. Have you read it yet?"

Xu Ting said calmly, "I've seen it, but I don't think it's necessary to change my image so quickly. The script requires me to be without makeup and portrays the poor and miserable aspects of people, which doesn't match the image I've been marketing. I don't want to take it."

The agent looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Jinli! Welcome to the film crew!"

Upon receiving news that Jinli had arrived, Chu Chenliang hurried to the reception room.

He reached out and grasped Jinli's hand, his expression somewhat excited.

Jinli was just about to congratulate him on the success of "Dawn," which had been number one since the start of the summer season, when Director Chu said:

"Having shaken the hand of the God of Literature descended to earth, I won't wash my hands anymore. When my niece comes over later, I'll make a point of shaking her hand and passing on my talent to her."

Jinli chuckled, saying with a wry smile, "I can just shake your niece's hand directly. Without you acting as the intermediary, it might be even more effective. I can also sign an autograph and write a blessing for her."

"By the way, how old is your niece?"

Chu Chenliang chuckled: "I've been waiting for you to say that. My niece is three years old this year!"

Jinli was a little confused.

After a long pause, she finally said, "You really are forward-thinking."

Chu Chenliang: "That's called foresight. She was touched by the God of Literature when she was young, which helped her to develop her intelligence early."

Jinli said helplessly, "Director Chu, my score isn't high enough to be called the God of Literature. It's just divine protection. If we're talking about the God of Literature, the only one recently is probably Gu Cheng. He's the truly intelligent one."

Chu Chenliang sighed: "Gu Cheng? I know him, that artist who scored 730. I still don't have his contact information. Isn't that why I never run into him?"

Jinli casually replied, "I have one, I'll give it to you."

As soon as she said it, she suddenly realized what she had said and her eyes widened slightly.

"Is this your real purpose?"

Chu Chenliang immediately assured him with a serious expression, "No, absolutely not, I didn't deliberately try to get Gu Cheng's contact information!"

Jinli: ...

After their conversation, the initial awkwardness between them dissipated, and Director Chu took the initiative to bring up the film's achievements with her.

"The results look good now, but the growth has actually slowed down a bit, which is normal."

Because we did a lot of pre-release promotion, netizens had high expectations for the film, so it achieved its expected success right after its release.

The driving force for future box office growth will ultimately come down to the quality of the films.

Jinli glanced at Director Chu, who spoke with great confidence.

He is quite confident in the films he makes.

Since that's the case, Jinli didn't ask any more questions, and simply said, "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Chu Chenliang shook his head: "The fact that you could take time out of your busy schedule to do two promotional events for us is already a great help to the production team."

Jinli: "This is all I should do. Actually, I want to keep going with the crew for promotions, but my agent and the company don't agree."

She said apologetically, "There are many things that I cannot completely decide."

Chu Chenliang: "The company has its own considerations. Your company has treated you well. They didn't immediately push you out to run around doing promotional appearances. Instead, they made plans for you."

In this industry, I've seen far too many people who are driven by quick profits. Both Chenxi Entertainment and you possess an unusual sense of composure.

Jinli smiled faintly: "I'm not too clear about the company level. As for the artists, I'm probably the most laid-back one among all the artists. I don't have a high need for money."

The two chatted for half an hour before leaving the reception room.

When Jinli came out, she found that the crew members were all standing outside, including the male and female leads.

This made her feel somewhat flattered.

Xu Ting smiled and stepped forward to greet her: "Jinli, long time no see. Congratulations on your high score. I wish you all the best in getting into your dream university."

Jinli politely said, "Thank you!"

Bai Jiang asked curiously, "Have you decided on the university and major you want to attend?"

Jinli nodded: "It was decided the moment the scores came out."

Xu Ting asked, "Is it possible to know?"

Jinli smiled and shook her head: "The company requires confidentiality at the moment."

The atmosphere on set seemed harmonious, so Director Chu took the opportunity to announce that they would go have dinner first, and then change hotels.
