I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 627 Be a decent human being, dear (Seeking monthly votes)

The phenomenal success of the August issue of "Jinse" has given many people confidence.

First, there's Gu Cheng. Many advertisers are no longer limiting themselves to hiring March Sky as their spokesperson, but are instead approaching Gu Cheng for personal endorsement.

March returns to March, and Gu Cheng returns to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng has already proven with his strength that even after leaving the March Sky team, he still has a strong appeal. His near-perfect score on the college entrance exam is no joke.

Several luxury brands want to sign Gu Cheng as their brand ambassador in China. If the collaboration goes well, it's not impossible for her to become their global brand ambassador.

In addition, Jinli has also secured collaborations with many top-tier brands.

She already has a full portfolio of top luxury brand endorsements, covering clothing, shoes, bags, and perfumes all in one place. The only downside is that her cosmetics business is somewhat lacking, and she still maintains a contract with Domi.

As a result, some top luxury brands started targeting her beauty products.

Those brands openly and covertly inquired with Chenxi Entertainment about when Jinli would terminate her contract with Duomi.

Once Jinli terminates her contract, they will not hesitate to choose her as their spokesperson in China.

The company also wants to collaborate with these top luxury brands again, but Domi is different from other brands.

It appears that Domi is the first brand endorsement that Jinli officially announced after her comeback two years ago.

To be precise, before Jinli became a huge hit, Duomi invested in her first because they were betting on her performance on variety shows.

There is a sense of gratitude for being recognized and appreciated.

That's why Jinli ignored whatever little tricks Domi made behind her back.

Domi and Jinli's collaboration has been renewed, with three years remaining on the contract.

Given Jinli's current status, Dumi is indeed not good enough for her. Even if Jinli wants to terminate the contract, Dumi would not dare to ask Jinli for the endorsement fee.

But Jinli had no such intention.

She heard what Fang Jie was saying and first asked, "Has Domi had any product quality issues in recent years? Has it been exposed for any scandals?"

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, as a domestic affordable cosmetics brand, Domi has a good reputation among the public."

Several key products launched in recent years have become enduring bestsellers in the market. Netizens praise the clean ingredients, generous use of high-quality materials, and high cost-performance ratio, comparing them to major brands.

Jinli said, "Putting aside the petty thing about Domi always trying to take advantage of me and not paying me, it does its best for every customer."

It offers the best price and the best results. The difference between it and big brands lies in the fragrance and the feel on the skin. The fragrance is somewhat cheap and the feel on the skin is a bit heavy.

But considering the price, it's all acceptable. So I want to continue working with Domi; I feel that Domi represents my original aspirations.

I hope to find some affordable yet effective products for my fans. Affordable doesn't mean bad. Our domestic cosmetics industry is relatively weak; many big-name cosmetics brands are imported. I hope that Domi can stand up for itself.

Sui Lingfang understood: "Then I'll refuse this collaboration."

Jinli hummed in agreement, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Has Domi contacted me during this time?"

Sui Lingfang: "Yes, I called you three times in the past month, and I wrote them down in the extra notes below your schedule calendar."

Because they were vague and unclear on the phone, I haven't mentioned it to you. But yesterday, Domi called me again and clearly stated that they want to schedule a time next month for you to shoot promotional photos for a new foundation product.

I replied that I'd have to check your schedule and contact you again next month. I plan to talk to you again after you start school.

Jinli nodded again and pondered, "I will indeed be very busy in September. Tsinghua and Peking Universities will be starting, I will participate in military training, and I will also have to attend classes at school."

Sui Lingfang couldn't help but say, "When you don't have classes or it's the weekend, you have to come to attend the event, so your time is quite tight."

Jinli smiled and said, "But it shouldn't hurt to take some promotional photos for them and arrange this trip."

Sui Lingfang sighed inwardly.

With Domi's schedule arranged, it means that one of her scheduled activities for next month will have to be cut, and Jinli will not be working overtime.

Previously, I had to juggle running around for gigs and studying; now I have to juggle running around for gigs and studying, the latter being more physically demanding.

After all, you can learn anything on your own anywhere, but it's different when you go to school.

Chenxi Entertainment relayed Jinli's idea, which relieved Domi, while other top luxury brands were disappointed.

While expressing their regret, they also admired Jinli's dedication to the brand.

"I haven't met such a responsible artist in a long time!" said the China regional manager of a top luxury brand at a private gathering.

"Yes, it's a pity we can't work with her. Otherwise, I really want to work with her. This is what an artist should be called." Another friend who is an executive at a company said the same thing.

"Haha, don't even think about it. Jinli's appearances are being closely watched by those top luxury brands. Working with her is very reassuring and almost a one-time solution. You don't have to worry about anything going wrong."

Compared to those suddenly popular young celebrities, she's much safer. Besides, she's already famous, has a positive image, and a stable public persona. Many brands are practically begging to get associated with her.

A friend joked, "Forget about brands, many official organizations want to hire her to shoot promotional documentaries, using her influence to reach more people."

As far as I know, four official agencies have already contacted her, but I don't know if they can reach an agreement.

"Jinli, you've already gained momentum. I just don't know if you can keep going. Maybe our China can really create a superstar?"

Someone spoke softly, filled with mixed feelings and emotions.

On the other hand, Jinli already has a full list of top luxury endorsements, leaving no room for intervention.

Top luxury brands can't afford to lower their standards and collaborate with Jinli on co-branded products, but many first-tier brands don't care.

As long as we can collaborate with Jinli, we'll take it all, whether it's an endorsement or a collaboration.

Taking advantage of the huge success of the August issue of "Jinse", Jinli received collaboration offers from six top brands, each of which showed great sincerity.

Sincerity can be seen.

By observing how much sales commission these brands give to Jinli, you can tell whether they genuinely want to cooperate and are eager to recruit talent.

Sui Lingfang printed out the brand information and the co-branded products she planned to collaborate on, and handed them to Jinli.

"These are the collaboration invitations the company has recently received from major brands. There are also some second- and third-tier brands lining up to wait for you to favor them, but let's look at the major brands first."

I have a feeling that more big brands will approach you next. Since they can't get your endorsement, they will prioritize getting your collaboration. Collaboration products are already showing signs of becoming a hot seller, and fans will be even more eager to buy them.

So if any top-tier brands launch a collaboration, I'll recommend it to you first.

Five days had passed since the August issue of "Jinse" was released, and those five days were extremely busy.

Jinse and Fangfei both sent Jinli event invitations with generous rewards. Jinli had to attend for promotional purposes and as a global spokesperson.

The event was scheduled for a very tight schedule, and Jinli was a little dizzy from running around.

In this busy situation, she had no choice but to resort to "practice problems" again as her ultimate weapon to regain energy. But last time, when Chen Qin saw her pull out "Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulation" in the car, she asked, "Jinli, do you really like studying?"

What can be said about Jinli?

She could only smile slightly and say that she really enjoyed learning.

Chen Qin: "Since you love studying so much, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

These words were like a thunderbolt, shattering the fog in Jinli's mind and clearing her head!

Yes, why didn't she think of taking the postgraduate entrance exam?
Learning has no end. After completing an undergraduate degree, one can pursue a master's degree, then a doctorate, and finally, further study in a specialized research field.

It's true that you're never too old to learn!

So after that, Jinli used her connections to get her hands on the core textbooks for the first year of philosophy at Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

She's starting to teach herself now, and she'll blow everyone away!

So Sui Lingfang saw that when she handed the documents to Jinli, Jinli put down the book she was holding.

She initially thought it was a script, but after the book was placed next to her, Fangjie realized that it seemed to contain philosophical content.

Jinli took the documents, and Fangjie couldn't help but ask, "What were you looking at just now?"

Jinli flipped to the book cover and showed it to Fangjie. She said casually, "These are some books related to the introduction to philosophy. This is a required course for me when I go to university. This course is to establish the foundation of philosophical thinking and covers the basic concepts, theories and methods of philosophy."

Sui Lingfang: ...

Have some decency, honey.

"Starting to learn on your own so soon? No, can you manage?"

If she remembered correctly, Jinli had been running around doing gigs every day for the past few days.

Apart from the free time in the evenings, I run in the mornings and afternoons, changing to different locations.

She was a little worried that the intensity of the activity might not be enough for her body, and was thinking of canceling some of the activities for her, but Jinli accepted them all.

She said that she had been idle for a while in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, and these two months were a way to make up for it.

Sui Lingfang was deeply moved after hearing this.

But what she didn't expect was that Jinli would still have time to study on her own even when she was so busy!

Is her body Iron Man's?
Will she end up in the hospital after all that trouble?
A deep sorrow welled up in Sui Lingfang's heart.

While she was worrying, Jinli had already looked at all the co-branded brands and products. She was only interested in three of them and originally only wanted to keep three.

But then she thought, some products may not be very practical or interesting in terms of their expression, but they might be very useful once they are made?

With this in mind, Jinli said, "Let them make the product first. I'd like to try their product before discussing cooperation, is that alright?"

Sui Lingfang came to her senses and said, "Of course we can. They're the ones who're begging us for this cooperation, not the other way around. The initiative is with us."

Jinli has reread her introduction to philosophy.

Sui Lingfang fell silent again.

After a while, she said weakly, "Jinli, why don't we take a break? You don't need to push yourself so hard."

Jinli hadn't quite gotten into focus yet. Hearing this, she looked up at her and said earnestly:

"Sister Fang, time waits for no one!"

"If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old."

"Springtime is in full bloom, let's not waste our youth."

Sui Lingfang: "...Why don't you chat with Gu Cheng more?"

Springtime is in full bloom, and youth is in the air; why not fall in love?

Seeing how intensely Jinli was studying, Fangjie became worried about her mental state.

Good news keeps coming!

The movie "Dawn" recently released a promotional poster for 15 billion yuan, and the poster for 16 billion yuan at the box office hasn't even been made yet, but the box office has already gracefully surpassed 17 billion yuan!
Now it's really time to have a celebration banquet.

The summer movie season is not over yet, and popular films have all extended their release dates, inevitably extending into September when new students start school.

During this period, new films were constantly released, attempting to challenge the top three positions, but none of them succeeded.

The new film did bring a splash to the market and continued to expand the audience, but the top three are not so easy to surpass.

Especially "Dawn," which is the king of this summer's box office, has never had a daily box office of less than 50 million. At this rate, it will definitely reach 2 billion in box office revenue.

Such achievements are enough to place it among the top ten in Chinese film history.

As the most popular film, "Dawn" might stay in theaters until the National Day films are released in October before it is completely taken off the screens.

However, the reason why "Dawn" was able to achieve such a rapid box office success is because it is a special effects blockbuster, and its ticket price is generally 5 to 10 yuan more expensive than other films.

After the box office surpassed 17 billion, Chu Chenliang called Jinli and invited her to a celebration banquet.

Director Chu said, "I know you're short on time, but I still hope you can show up and participate. I've prepared a big red envelope for everyone, especially yours, which will be huge!"

I also invited many media reporters; they will provide detailed coverage of this celebration banquet. I hope that the box office of "Dawn" will reach new heights.

Sui Lingfang was right next to Jinli. Jinli gestured for her to bring her schedule and said, "Director Chu, let me take a look at my schedule first."

As she looked at the screen, she pressed the microphone button on her phone and asked in a low voice, "Director Chu is having a celebration banquet on the 25th of this month. Could you spare some time?"

Sui Lingfang: "Okay, I'll clear out your schedule for the last seven days of the month, but—"

She hesitated and said, "You have a schedule every day this month, and you can only rest for seven days at the end of the month to recharge. I'm worried about your health."

Jinli smiled and said, "Sister Fang, it's okay, I can handle it."

She removed her hand and said, "Okay, send me the time, but I probably won't stay for too long and won't be able to stay until the end."

Chu Chenliang said happily, "It's great that you can attend!"

The crew of "Dawn" stopped promoting the show in August. Their fate was sealed. Director Chu was the first to call Jinli, and he would then notify the others.

Notifications to others are much simpler; a group announcement can be sent via WeChat.

After finishing his schedule, Bai Jiang took out his phone and saw this message. He was also excited to learn that the film's box office had surpassed 17 billion yuan today.

Is this what it feels like to be carried away?
