I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 621 Admission Notices and Major Announcements: The End of the Universe is Metaphysics! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The netizens' voices were conveyed to Jinli through her agent.

When Sui Lingfang asked this question, she hesitated and said, "Should we reveal our majors as soon as the admission notices arrive?"

She knew Jinli's chosen major a long time ago, but she didn't reveal it immediately because she was afraid it would cause controversy.

Because the major she chose... it's both useful and useless, but not entirely useless either; it's a major that will leave people wondering after you've chosen it.

To avoid fans starting an argument, it's better not to make it public in the first place.

Jinli thought for a while and said, "Originally, I wanted the media to announce it when I participated in military training, but now I think that the media might make up some convoluted and bizarre stories after they know about this major, so it's better if we announce it here first."

Besides, making it public now won't overshadow the buzz surrounding the high scores. I'll just take a photo as requested when I receive my acceptance letter.

Her university acceptance letter hadn't arrived yet, but the gifts Jinli sent to her fans came first.

Ever since Jinli mentioned wanting to respond to the gifts her fans sent her via LED screen, Sui Lingfang sent someone to specifically inquire at the LED screen rental center. They obtained the contact information of the person who rented the screen from the security guard and successfully contacted the fan.

Sui Lingfang learned from her fans how many LED screens were displaying blessings for Jinli.

Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.

Fans actually placed the message in 20 different locations, and each area had a different message. These 20 screens carried nearly a thousand blessings written to Jinli.

After learning that so many areas had been affected, Jinli really wanted to go and check it out herself.

Unfortunately, she was too popular at the time and couldn't go out easily, so Chen Qin had to do it for her, taking photos at every place and compiling all the blessings for Jinli to review.

To reciprocate the fans' sentiments, Jinli had a sudden inspiration and arranged for different handwritten blessings to be given to each area.

For others, it might be difficult to come up with twenty versions of the same topic, but for Jinli it was very easy, after all, this was a high score of 145 in Chinese.

The news spread online first, but Jinli's account did not specifically promote it.

Pikachu: [I went to check out the same LED screen that Jinli posted today, and found that besides the fans' responses, Jinli's response was also online! Am I the first to know? Ahhhh, I'm so lucky and happy!]

This fan's blog post was quickly cited by well-known media accounts, and soon the hashtag #JinliRespondsToFans'HandwrittenBlessings# trended on social media.

This sparked a trend of people taking photos and videos on LED screens.

Jinli's fans flocked to take photos under the twenty LED screens, and long queues formed in some places, causing traffic jams. The traffic police even put red separation ropes on the screens.

Local businesses had a bright idea and started offering a variety of snacks.

Over time, some places have even become popular snack streets, boosting the local economy.

Netizens took pictures of Jinli's handwritten blessings and posted them online, praising the light and beautiful handwriting, which showed that she had put in a lot of effort.

Jinli: Thank you for your blessings. I saw them all. I am very pleased that you have made progress in your studies and that you have a positive influence on me.

As I said before, going to school is not the end of one goal, but the beginning of another, and I hope this is true for you as well.

Life has no perfect answers, nor are there any choices that cannot be made wrong. Be brave enough to try different lives, live freely and wonderfully, and have no regrets in this world.

Illness cannot take away our will; may our spirit of learning live on forever!

She wrote twenty such return messages, each with a different message.

As fans watched the blessings slowly appear on the screen, tears welled up in their eyes.

This is the star they admire, and also the guiding star on their life's path. Whenever they are tired and weary, they can turn on their live stream and find Jinli's live stream is always there.

[I'm so happy to be a fan of Jinli! I'm crying so much!]

This must be one of the most worthwhile celebrities to follow in recent years!

[Having been a fisherman for a while, Jinli's fan group is managed purely by fans, without any official manipulation or guidance. The data for the products she endorses is all genuine.]

This kind of celebrity isn't measured by simple chart rankings; their popularity is deeply ingrained in the public consciousness. The saying "whoever gets Jinli wins the world" has become a consensus among many brands, and many are vying for her!

At the same time, the box office of the TV series "Dawn" was also boosted.

During this summer's box office season, "Dawn" was consistently in the top tier, never falling out of the top three and maintaining its number one position for an extended period, which was already quite impressive.

The daily box office for the TV series "Dawn" is unlikely to break any records.

As a result, because of Jinli's handwritten letters to fans, the box office saw a counter-trend increase, turning a steady decline into an unusual peak.

On this very day, the daily box office revenue once again exceeded 50 million!
Leaving everyone else in the dust!
This made other summer releases grit their teeth in disbelief. What kind of incredible luck did "Dawn" have to run into Jin Li's explosive success this year?
"My Chief and My Soldiers" has long since collapsed under this impact, focusing only on maintaining its third-place position. Meanwhile, "Air Rescue Operation," which has been a perennial runner-up, has had no choice but to remain firmly in second place after several failed attempts to break into the box office.

Now that "Dawn" is seeing its box office rise against the trend again, they can only feel envy and jealousy.

It's impossible to surpass it now. The total box office of "Dawn" has exceeded 15 billion yuan, and it's just a little bit away from being recorded in the history of Chinese films.

This result puts them far ahead of the second and third place teams, yet they remain calm and even joke about the first place team's performance.

While chatting with a friend, the director who was always second best said with a smug look on his face, "I bet Chu Chenliang is regretting it now. He should have promoted Jin Li as the main character and Xu Ting as the supporting character when he was promoting the film. Otherwise, the box office of 'Dawn' could have gone up a lot more."

"That's not a good idea. The audience can usually tell the difference between the main characters and the supporting characters," my friend replied.

The perennial runner-up scoffed: "How can you tell the difference? Jinli's scenes are only 10 minutes shorter than Xu Ting's!"

If Xu Ting's team hadn't promoted her as the female lead before she even joined the cast, Chu Chenliang could have easily claimed that Jin Li was the real protagonist!

He paused, then said, "And if you look closely, Dawn's second part, Apocalypse, has already come out. They even said they would explain in detail whether Jinli died or not in this series. It's obvious that they're making a second part with Jinli as the protagonist."

However, the choice of the lead actress has remained a mystery, as Chu Chenliang hasn't announced it yet. Just wait and see; given the current buzz, he'll soon officially announce the true female lead for the second season!

Indeed, only the most cunning and shrewd can understand the thoughts of the most cunning and shrewd.
-
"Jinli, Director Chu just called to ask me if you've received your acceptance letter and if you plan to go public with it." Jinli asked curiously, "Why is he suddenly curious about this?"

She did know that some of Director Chu's younger colleagues admired her, and Director Chu had once asked for her autograph on their behalf.

Does he perhaps want to make a copy of his acceptance letter and take it back to inspire his younger relatives?

Sui Lingfang said mysteriously, "Because he wants to seize this hot topic and create synergy with it."

This was a novel idea, and Jinli asked with interest, "How do we seize it?"

Sui Lingfang said, "As you know, the second installment of the Dawn series of films, Apocalypse, has been confirmed, and the script is being expedited."

Based on the information he has released, netizens are speculating that Director Chu will reveal to the audience in the second film whether you died in the final scene of the first film.

If they didn't die, would they retain their consciousness, and what changes would occur after their body merged with the viral sample...?

Based on this existing information, viewers know that you will still have a significant role in the second part, but it's unclear whether you'll be the female lead.

Director Chu's hints are quite obvious, but the audience still has a lot of disagreement about whether Jinli will be the female lead in the second part.

Just like the drama "Dawn", Jinli was clearly the main character promoted, but she was labeled as a supporting character.

However, her screen time in the movie was only 10 minutes less than the female lead's, and her scenes were more complete than those of both the male and female leads.

In the minds of many fans, this film was actually starring Jin Li, but Xu Ting had the advantage in terms of official title.

The online debate over who should play the female lead in the second installment has already sparked several rounds of heated arguments.

The female celebrities involved include not only Jin Li and Xu Ting, but also other female celebrities who had previously worked with Director Chu, and their teams also got involved.

This has kept the topic of Dawn Part 2: Apocalypse firmly at the top of the list.

A thoughtful look flashed across Jinli's eyes. "So, Director Chu wants me to announce that I'm the lead actor in the second part when I release my acceptance letter?"

Sui Lingfang nodded: "That's his idea."

Jinli said meaningfully, "I thought he would keep this hype buried until the script for the second part of Dawn came out before making it public."

Sui Lingfang also laughed: "Maybe it's because you're so popular now that you're getting restless. After all, the script is only just starting out, and we don't know how many years it will take to polish it."

But your current popularity and buzz are undeniable; who knows what will happen in a few years?

Jinli thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very familiar with this traffic-driven approach. You can discuss it yourselves. If you agree with Director Chu's idea, I can cooperate."

Sui Lingfang: "Okay, the company also thinks it's better to finalize it sooner rather than later. Verbal agreements are ultimately based on conscience, but a written agreement is more reassuring."

But before Sui Lingfang could finalize the deal with Chu Chenliang's team, Jinli received her Tsinghua and Peking University admission notices that very afternoon.

Not only Jinli, but netizens across the internet have long coveted this admission letter.

Effort doesn't guarantee a reward, but if there is a reward, it will be even more inspiring!
Two years of hard work day and night, countless sleepless nights, all for this small acceptance letter.

This thin little piece of paper carries an incredibly heavy weight.

Online, netizens have started another round of discussion.

[Breaking news! My distant cousin messaged me saying her Tsinghua and Peking University acceptance letters have arrived. Has Jinli's not arrived yet?]
[What? Tsinghua and Peking University have already started sending out admission notices?]
[My friend in Beijing received it yesterday. Considering the varying delivery speeds across different provinces, I didn't share this information.]
[It should arrive today, right? If not, I'll have to wait until tomorrow. I have such a bad feeling about it.]
[I have a bad feeling, what if Jinli doesn't get into Tsinghua or Peking University? After all, she barely made it. If the major she applied for is very popular and she didn't agree to be assigned to another major, that would be terrible.]
Now that Jinli had received her acceptance letter, she and Chenxi Entertainment no longer hesitated. They concealed the personal information written on the letter and revealed Jinli's name and the department she was admitted to by Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

First of all, the EMS envelope that arrived had a very eye-catching slogan on it, which highlighted the spirit of Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

"Tsinghua and Peking Universities, your lifelong pride!"

Upon opening the envelope, the same slogan was prominently displayed on the notice cover.

Upon opening the admission notice, you will see a small, laser-engraved 3D model of the school gate. On the blank page, the new student's name, gender, date of birth, major, admission category, and admission batch are listed.

In addition, there was another slip of paper explaining the funding policy, which detailed the scholarship and other financial support policies.

In recent years, Tsinghua and Peking Universities have also included a book personally selected by the university president in their admission notices. This time, the book is "Ordinary World," and a signed letter from the president is also included.

[Dear Jinli, as your principal, I present you with a copy of "Ordinary World," hoping you will strive for excellence amidst the ordinary!]

Netizens clicked on the picture of the admission notice, curious to see what major Jinli had been admitted to.

You won't believe it until you see it; many people are surprised to learn that Tsinghua and Peking Universities actually have such niche majors—

Department of Philosophy

Jinli has been admitted as a freshman in the Philosophy Department!
Netizens shared their thoughts and comments:

I only found out last year that Tsinghua and Peking Universities also have archaeology departments, and major museums sent books to the top scorers in the college entrance examination in the provinces that chose this department. But today I learned about another unpopular major - philosophy!

Will Jinli receive modern and contemporary poems and songs from newspapers in various provinces this time?

[Hey, I've noticed you guys have a lot of misconceptions about philosophy. Do you think philosophy is for training poets? No, no, no, Tsinghua and Peking Universities have already completed the construction of a complete system from undergraduate to postdoctoral research stations.]

The areas that need to be studied include Marxist philosophy, Chinese philosophy, foreign philosophy, logic, ethics, aesthetics, religious studies, and philosophy of science and technology.

This department was designated a national key first-level discipline a long time ago. After one year of study, students will choose a specialization: Philosophy, Religious Studies, or Science and Logic.

I just looked up the philosophy department and found that it focuses on the study of Taoist thought, such as the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi and the Huang-Lao school, which are academic research areas.

The study of religion may involve Taoism, such as religious practices and rituals, and involves the study of philosophical classics and ideas.

[Wait a minute, one of the directions in philosophy is religious studies, and Jinli's hobby is going to Taoist temples to burn incense. No way, is she really going to become a nun and retire from the entertainment industry someday?! She even majored in Taoism in college!!]

The last comment caused panic among many fans.
