I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 606 This batch of artists is so hard to manage, Jinli, stop getting involved!
Today's promotional announcements involve traveling to various locations to promote the film, rather than holding a film promotion conference.

Jinli spent the whole day on set, doing a total of four promotional events: one in the morning, one at noon, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

They worked non-stop without stopping to rest, and even ate their meals in the car, which was heading to the next promotional location.

Not just Jinli, but all the crew members are this busy.

Some supporting actors may not get to hold the microphone for interviews or answer questions, and they may seem to have it easy, but being a decorative figure is a skill in itself.

It's really uncomfortable to stand in one place for a long time, without being able to talk to you or move around.

Talking can actually help to distract you.

So everyone is working very hard.

But it's all worth it!
Every time I go to a performance venue and hear all the fans chanting the name "Dawn," I feel excited no matter how many times I experience it.

Every time, it makes my heart race and fills me with pride.

How fortunate I am to have starred in this movie!
Even Jinli felt the same way. From the enthusiastic shouts of the fans at the scene, she sensed everyone's satisfaction with the movie "Dawn".

Today is probably Jinli's last day on set this month. Despite her exhaustion, she forced herself to smile and face her fans.

Such intense exposure would be difficult even for a normal person, let alone Jinli, whose body was already very weak.

Even after her college entrance exam scores were released and her health improved day by day, she still couldn't hold on.

So after that promotional event that night, she was completely exhausted and collapsed in the back seat of the car.

Chen Qin, sitting in the front row, occasionally turned to look at the back row. Seeing Jinli's listless appearance, she said with some concern:
"How about I take you to the hospital? You look a bit unwell."

Jinli took a deep breath and shook her head: "No need, just let me rest for a bit."

She smiled and said casually, "If you take me to the hospital, the doctor probably won't find anything wrong and will think I'm perfectly healthy."

Chen Qin: ?
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and urged Jinli to go and rest.

After giving her instructions, Chen Qin picked up her tablet and started organizing Jin Li's recent announcements, writing and drawing.

About 10 minutes later, she glanced back again, still worried, and froze.

I thought Jinli was resting by sleeping, but it turns out she was doing practice problems?!
Chen Qin thought she was seeing things, so she blinked and then opened her eyes wide to look back.

Yes, after checking again, I saw several large characters marked on that brightly colored notebook—

Five Years of College Entrance Examination Preparation and Three Years of Simulation: Chinese Language College Entrance Examination Intensive Edition

Chen Qin's mouth was agape, and she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

This is this...

My idols have already been admitted to university, why are they still taking exams?

Could it be that she's not satisfied with this score and is planning to go back and retake it?
No, once is enough! Don't roll it a second time!
If Jinli really retakes the college entrance exam next year, citing dissatisfaction with her score, Chen Qin doesn't know how Chenxi Entertainment will react, but she knows netizens will definitely lose their temper.

Is this the world of geniuses?
Perhaps Chen Qin's gaze was too aggressive, because even Jinli, who was focused, noticed it and looked up, meeting Chen Qin's complicated eyes.

Silence, silence.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Seeing that Chen Qin remained silent for a long time, Jinli broke the silence and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Qin asked with a complicated expression, "Jinli, are you dissatisfied with your college entrance exam results and planning to retake it?"

Jinli looked down at the practice book in her hand, feeling like crying. Chen Qin had misunderstood.

Please let me explain... but I have no idea how to explain it... never mind, I'll just not explain at all.

Jinli composed herself, straightened her expression, and said, "No, I'm very satisfied with my college entrance exam results. I have no plans to retake it, nor do I want to take the exam again."

"I was a bit bored lying in the chair, and I happened to see a '53' practice book in the compartment in front of me, so I picked it up and did some practice questions. Don't worry, I just did some practice questions as a hobby, I didn't mean anything by it."

Chen Qin remained silent for a moment.

In the world of geniuses, doing practice problems is just a hobby; it's truly baffling!

Chen Qin repeatedly reminded him: "Don't overwork your brain or your eyes. It's a bit dark in the back, so turn on the small light. If you feel unwell, tell me immediately. Don't push yourself. It will be at least a 5-hour drive back to Chenxi Entertainment."

Jinli smiled and said "okay," looking as obedient as could be.

But the next second, she lowered her head again and started working on the problems again.

Chen Qin took a deep breath.

This is the first time I've truly experienced the sense of helplessness that Sister Fang described. This generation of artists is so hard to manage; I don't understand their world at all!
-
Jinli finished her last appearance for the evening's filming session at 8:30 PM.

She went straight back to Chenxi Entertainment and didn't stay at the hotel for another night.

By the time we got back to Chenxi Entertainment, it was past midnight.

Sui Lingfang didn't fall asleep; she kept working overtime at the company, waiting for Jinli to come back.

Upon receiving the message from Chen Qin, she made a special trip to the underground parking garage, where she found Jinli looking somewhat listless.

It's normal for artists to be tired at this time.

Without thinking much, Sui Lingfang gave her a big hug and quickly told her to go upstairs to sleep.

After Jinli had rested, she called Chen Qin over, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Didn't I tell you to leave at noon? Why did you only leave in the evening? Did you attend some film crew gathering at the last minute?"

Chen Qin shrank back. She had originally wanted to help cover it up, but Sister Fang would definitely see the news tomorrow, and Sister Jinli probably wouldn't be in a good state tomorrow, so she simply said timidly:

"Jinli has increased her appearances in public appearances. She thinks it's a rare opportunity to come to the film set, and she wants to give the film set more exposure. She's also a member of the film set, so she'll help if she can."

Sui Lingfang felt her temples throbbing.

She took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally.

"So how many shows did she run? I only scheduled the morning show for her. Don't tell me she was running all day and didn't come back until evening."

Chen Qin swallowed hard and said nervously, "Yes, it's just like you think. I was running all day, a total of 4 events. I only rushed to the company after finishing the evening event."

Sui Lingfang first glared at her, then looked at her as if she were an ignorant child.

“Jinli must be very tired after running so many events. You can explain the reason to me and let her rest at the hotel tonight and come back the next day.”

Chen Qin said weakly, "That's what I said too, but Jinli refused. She said she wanted to fill out the application form at the company as soon as possible, and didn't want to fill it out outside or wait too long."

Sui Lingfang sighed. Jinli wasn't bad; she was just sometimes so sensible it was heartbreaking, which made her want to be a little more rebellious.

After a while, she came up with a solution and said, "Jinli won't be able to leave the company tomorrow. The paparazzi outside are blocking the way. You guys are lucky that you weren't blocked this time."

So, Jinli's favorite thing to do is to pray, even if she can't go to the temple in person, she can still pray through her phone screen. For a while, didn't she often ask you to take your phone to a Taoist temple so she could video call and pray to her?

Chen Qin nodded: "Yes, when filming Dawn, the crew needed a lot of action scenes, and it was very hard every day. Jinli would video call to say goodbye quite often back then."

Sui Lingfang: "Then you should go to the Taoist temple tomorrow and video call her to pray and make her happy."

Chen Qin asked hesitantly, "Sister Fang, is this really effective?"

Sui Lingfang: "I don't know if it will work, but I think it's fine as long as she likes it."

Chen Qin thought it made a lot of sense, so she opened her phone to look for the nearest Taoist temple.

Soon after, Sister Fang joined in, discussing the size of the Taoist temple, and finally decided on one with the best incense offerings for her.

Jinli never expected that when she woke up the next morning, she would be greeted with a loving "goodbye" from her manager and assistant.

When Jinli woke up in the morning, she still felt a little unwell.

Although I don't have a fever, I feel a little dizzy and weak all over.

Yesterday's schedule of appearances was a bit too much; I didn't get a break at all.

She finally had a break, but because she didn't have to take the college entrance exam anymore and didn't do any more practice questions, she wasn't able to recover her energy.

When Jinli woke up, she thought to herself that she still needed to find a way to enter a state of focus anytime, anywhere.

Practicing coding problems is no longer effective, and reading books doesn't help to concentrate.

A moment later, her eyes lit up; she had thought of a way to easily enter a state of focus—

Puzzle or model building!

In this process, she had to abandon all external things and immerse herself in it wholeheartedly.

You have to be focused while searching for the patterns on each gap and buckle; if you lose focus, all your efforts will be wasted.

As soon as Jinli opened Taobao's page and started the puzzle, a picture of "fish playing with lotus flowers" caught her eye.

The lotus flowers were beautiful, and the golden koi fish were adorable, so she immediately placed an order.

In addition, she bought many landscape jigsaw puzzles, each picture of which made people feel full of life.

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Jinli opened the door, and Sui Lingfang stood in the doorway, smiling kindly.

“I thought you should be awake by now. Your routine is still the same as before. You haven’t relaxed just because you got into university.”

Jinli nodded and stepped aside to let Fangjie in, and poured her a glass of milk.

Actually, she was still a bit weak, and her limbs were sore and weak.

But she didn't want Fang Jie to worry too much, so she tried her best to remain as normal as before.

"You just woke up, and there's something I need to tell you."

Fangjie suddenly took out her phone. Jinli looked at it and saw Chen Qin waving to her on the screen without saying anything.

Jinli was taken aback. Chen Qin... wait a minute, why didn't she see Chen Qin knocking on the door to call her today? Instead, it was Sister Fang who came over. Where did she go?
The next second, the camera flipped, and a statue of a god appeared in front of her.

Jinli was stunned again.

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "We all know you really enjoy going to the Taoist temple; it makes you feel good. You were too tired yesterday, and you have to fill out college applications today, so you didn't have time to go out."

So I asked Chen Qin to make the trip, and you can pray via video to relax.

Jinli blossomed into a big smile.

She said sincerely and gratefully, "Sister Fang, I'm so happy to receive this gift from you, it saved my life!"

Sui Lingfang handed her the phone. "I'll go out first. Once you're done, come down to the meeting room. We'll fill out the application forms there and discuss your upcoming work."

Jinli carefully took the phone before saying, "Okay."

Sui Lingfang instructed, "Happiness is the most important thing. If one prayer isn't enough to make you happy, then let Chen Qin go and pray to more people."

Jinli's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled. "One is enough. I'm happy just to see a deity."
-
Half an hour later, Jinli arrived at the conference room and returned the phone to Sister Fang.

Sui Lingfang glanced at Jinli and wondered if it was because she had put on some light makeup, but Jinli looked much better than when she first met her.

If Fangjie knew that Jinli wasn't wearing any makeup at all, she would probably be even more surprised.

When the rest of the team saw Jinli, they smiled as if they were seeing a god of wealth. If they weren't discussing something, they would shake hands with Jinli and try to get some of her good fortune.

Just now, they calculated the fees for all the advertising endorsements and variety show appearances Jinli has received this month, and it has already exceeded 100 million!
Although Jinli and Chenxi Entertainment split the profits 20/80, 20 million is still a considerable sum for the company.

What did the company contribute to this?
Oh, the water and electricity bills for two floors.

Jinli paid for all the food herself!

Sui Lingfang looked at Jinli and said, "Several brands want to collaborate with you on co-branded products. I'll send you the list later."

Besides common bags, cosmetics, and shoes, they also want to launch collaborations with you on various everyday products, such as laundry detergent and toothpaste.

By the way, are you interested in milk tea collaborations? There's a tea brand that's really interested in you; speaking of which, their name is quite interesting.

Jinli asked curiously, "What's your name?"

Sui Lingfang: "Let's call it Koi Tea."

"What a coincidence?" Jinli was a little incredulous.

Sui Lingfang handed over the information about "Koi Tea Drinks". "It really is such a coincidence. The founder started the company ten years ago in the local county town. He opened five stores before, and this year he has expanded to fifteen."

Their president called the company, saying he wanted to cooperate with us. He specifically emphasized that the investors who opened 10 stores this year were drawn to the name "Koi" because they thought the word had a good meaning, so they invested heavily in their development.

Their offer was that if you collaborated with them on a co-branded product and became their brand ambassador, they would give you a stake in the business.

Jinli thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "15 stores are still too few. Whether they can develop into a group depends on their management."

Without reasonable rules and regulations, blind expansion will lead to many problems. Let's wait until they become more mature and become one of the top 5 tea beverage brands in the industry before discussing cooperation.

After discussing for a while, it was soon time to fill out college application forms.
