I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 630 Let's form a band and charge forward!
On this day, Xi Jiayou, the leader of the trainee team, felt like he was dreaming.

He not only met a senior who was very friendly to newcomers and helped them join a variety show, but also saw the senior's good friend.

This is yet another shining star in the singing field, unmatched by anyone in the entire company.

They greeted them and asked if there was anything they were not used to at the company, and what they felt could be improved.
The trainees were flattered and speechless with excitement.

Xi Jiayou, as the team leader, was the first to come to his senses and replied, "We are doing very well in the company, and the company's welfare system is becoming more and more comprehensive."

Last month we felt we spent too much on food, so this month the company set up a cafeteria and provides meal subsidies, which almost cover our lunch expenses for the entire month.

The company isn't a charity; it's impossible for them to operate the canteen completely free of charge.

Not to mention the wide variety of food available in the canteen, including some buffet-style dishes and private stir-fries.

Just supporting the waiters and chefs is a considerable expense.

Therefore, Chenxi Entertainment considers the company's development status and allocates meal allowances to celebrities according to their tiers.

For top-tier celebrities like Jinli, the company tops up her meal card with 3000 yuan every month. The meal card can only be used for canteen consumption, cannot be withdrawn, and cannot be accumulated. It is settled monthly.

Second-tier celebrities earn 2000 yuan, while third-tier celebrities earn 1000 yuan.

As for trainees who have no reputation, it's 500 yuan.

The canteen at Chenxi Entertainment doesn't set prices as high as restaurants outside. A meal costs about 15 yuan, which is enough to fill even up trainees who burn a lot of calories.

Isn't it just that we can use the meal allowance provided by the company to solve one meal a day?

Jinli's phone vibrated a few more times as Xi Jiayou answered.

She looked down and saw a look of surprise in her eyes, then couldn't help but smile.

Xi Mengze noticed and asked curiously, "What good thing has come knocking this time?"

Jinli asked happily, "How do you know this is a good thing?"

Xi Mengze clicked his tongue. "Do you know what Sister Fang has been nagging me about lately?"

Before Jinli could answer, she immediately said, "She complained that I'm not serious about my studies and that I'm too playful, not even as good as you."

Look at all the endorsements and collaborations you've landed this month! Even top-tier brands are vying to collaborate with you and are practically giving you money.

I can't even be bothered with endorsements from second- or third-tier brands, but I can't bring myself to endorse those internationally renowned brands either. In short: she thinks I'm not hardworking enough!

As Xi Mengze spoke, he even argued quite reasonably, "It's better for her to compare me to Mingzhu than to you!"

How many points did you get on the college entrance exam? How many points did I get? How can you compare? I'm just not as good as you, so what!

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? I heard my name."

Qi Guanmingzhu found the private room, pushed open the door, and casually asked.

When Xi Mengze saw her, his eyes lit up: "I told Jinli that instead of comparing me to her, Sister Fang should compare me to you!"

Qi Guanmingzhu laughed: "What a coincidence, Sister Fang also compared me to Jinli, trying to use Jinli to motivate me to take on more gigs, but I felt that those gigs were meaningless, so I turned them all down."

Then Fangjie got very angry and said that I didn't learn the good things and only learned bad things from Jinli.

Jinli can turn down many gigs because she has the talent and confidence to back up her work. She doesn't lack exposure or money, yet she tells me I have nothing and to go make movies.

Upon hearing this, Jinli and Xi Mengze both laughed.

They knew that Qi Guan Mingzhu hated filming the most. It wasn't that she hadn't filmed before, but after filming, she became very annoyed by the filming process.

In Mingzhu's worldview, everyone who is good at acting has a latent form of schizophrenia.

Yes, Jinli was one of the people she was complaining about.

Fangjie suggested that Qiguan Mingzhu go to film a movie, but she'd probably be better off taking on more variety show appearances. At least some variety show scripts aren't that many, and they're quite fun to do.

Of course, in these variety shows, as long as there was a stage, Sister Fang would help Qi Guanmingzhu secure it.

Let her hone her stage presence; perhaps one day, China will also have its own dedicated stage for idols.

Jinli said, "I thought you were coming back tonight when you messaged me earlier. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Qi Guanmingzhu sat down next to Jinli and said casually, "I didn't originally plan to come to the company. When I came back, I called Sister Fang and she said that Mengmeng and you were both at the company. Mengmeng is teaching you to sing, so I came back to the company to take a look."

How's your song practice going? And who are these guys—"

She took a special look at the group of trainees who were trembling with fear and didn't even dare to sit down.

Judging from their reserved demeanor, she could tell at a glance that these people weren't celebrities.

Jinli introduced them to Qiguan Mingzhu again and briefly explained the arrangements for them.

"These people were sent by the company to the variety show 'Shining Glory,' you've heard of that show, right?"

Qi Guanmingzhu nodded and said calmly, "This year's talent show is the most talked-about, but it's not as impressive as the talent shows of previous years."

Recently, variety shows have been doing all sorts of outrageous things in an attempt to regain public attention. Although these outrageous actions have trended on social media, it seems they've mostly been driven by fan backlash, attracting very few viewers.

Jinli said, "They performed well in the variety show, but they all became stepping stones for June Summer, so they were eliminated in the first round of performances."

Later, the producer of "Shining Glory" specifically contacted the president, saying that he wanted to invite these eliminated trainees back to participate in the revival competition.

But I felt that rather than going back to being a stepping stone, it was better to start afresh, so I recommended a brand new farming-themed reality show to the company. I thought their personalities would be perfect for participating.”

Qi Guanmingzhu agreed, saying, "Yes, it's better to participate in a brand new program than to return to the original one. With the support of Tianding Entertainment, June Summer will definitely dominate the member slots."

Struggling is useless; it only makes one's death more dignified, but ultimately, death will still occur.

She looked at the group of timid trainees and said, "Jinli is good at judging people. Since she thinks highly of your personalities, then you should do your best."

In the entertainment industry, personality is very important. Constantly dwelling on past regrets and missed opportunities will prevent a star from moving forward. On the other hand, a star who is indecisive and hesitant will also lose sight of their direction.

Take a step-by-step approach to participating in announcements, and choose the best announcement based on your own circumstances.

If you can't judge the announcements, then trust your agent's decisions. They may not be the most talented, but they definitely have more access to information than you do.

Qi Guanmingzhu suddenly thought of something and said, "If you think the choice of the agent is unreliable, you can also ask us."

"Since you're your seniors, even if you just call us 'senior sisters,' we'll all help you take a look."

The trainees were stunned, a wave of emotion washing over them.

Once again, I feel that Jinli and the others are very kind people, and Chenxi Entertainment is a warm and welcoming family. Xi Jiayou said with a serious expression, "We will work hard and thank you for your guidance, senior sister!"

He figured the three of them must have a lot to talk about, so he quickly pulled the other trainees, who were still in a daze, away, saying they had to rehearse a dance later and were running out of time, so they had to leave.

After the trainees left, Jinli looked at Qi Guanmingzhu and Xi Mengze, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

How about we form a band?

"It's not like you're thinking, actually forming a band. How about we act as a band to help Mengmeng with her singing?"

Jinli said with great interest, "Look, Pearl is back and has time, and I also have time recently. It's been at least a week since Mengmeng's performance."

"Don't the fans really want to see us reunite? We can't be a full pink-clad girl group, but we can at least have a partial reunion. How about the two of us go and help out at a performance?"

Before Qi Guanmingzhu could react, Xi Mengze slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Brilliant! Brilliant! How come I didn't think of that!"

"Isn't Pearl lacking a stage? How about I give her a singer's stage?"

Jinli and Xi Mengze both stared intently at Qi Guanmingzhu.

Qi Guanmingzhu finally realized what was happening and said with a wry smile, "I do need a stage, but I never expected to be able to stand on the singer's stage all at once."

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not that I don't want this stage, nor that I don't want to work with you, but this stage is too big and doesn't allow for mistakes. I'm a little worried that I'll drag you down."

Xi Mengze immediately replied, "No, on the contrary, I'm really happy to be able to collaborate with you on stage!"

Jinli also said, "Mengmeng is eager to admit defeat. We two good-for-nothings went to her and did her wish, carrying two people. I don't believe she can become a god."

Xi Mengze: "Yes!"

Qi Guan Mingzhu: ...

But is it really okay to curse yourself like this?
Besides, is there really absolutely no hope of winning the title of King of Singers?

Although Qi Guan Mingzhu knew that her abilities were average, she never underestimated the power of sentimentality. After all, it was sentimentality that allowed her to maintain her status as a top-tier star.

After a long while, Qi Guanmingzhu finally made up his mind.

"If you don't mind me holding you back, then go for it!"

The three of them put their hands together, pressed them down heavily, and shouted the slogan they used to shout every time they went on stage when they were still a pink girl group:
"Pink-clad girl, keep charging forward!!!"
-
The three of them went to the agent's office together. Fortunately, the agent had been staying at the company to work overtime recently, so they weren't worried about not being able to find him.

They shared their thoughts with Sui Lingfang.

Sui Lingfang was initially surprised, but then thought the method was quite good.

She said, "Are you sure you really want to appear together? Then I need to talk to the production team beforehand to see if it's feasible."

Xi Mengze was stunned: "Would the production team really refuse? I thought they would be happy to do this kind of hype and publicity stunt."

Sui Lingfang said meaningfully, "We have to give other singers some face, otherwise it will be difficult to invite people for the next episode. It's a live broadcast, and some singers even suspect that other singers are lip-syncing. What can we say about that?"

She then changed the subject, "But don't worry, the production team will most likely approve it. The King of Singers competition needs hype, and with you joining, at least they won't lack hype."

"If they hadn't dared to accept the offer, they wouldn't have been able to produce so many seasons, and they certainly wouldn't have been able to continue recording after offending so many singers."

They originally wanted to stay in the office to listen to Fang Jie's conversation with the program team, but Fang Jie kicked them out early, saying:
"If you're going to do it, then do it well. Don't let others look down on you. Let everyone see the strength of the former Asian girl group. Start practicing intensively tonight!"

If the practice hadn't been mentioned, things would have been fine, but once the rehearsals actually started, Qi Guanmingzhu felt that today was the beginning of her nightmare.

One is a singer with a naturally beautiful voice, possessing a unique, delicate quality, and exceptional talent.

One is a diligent player who can become stronger through learning, and the more he learns, the stronger he becomes, and the more courageous he becomes in battle.

What about her?
She has neither a good voice nor the joy of making progress in her studies. Qi Guanmingzhu really finds it difficult!

One night, she was hit hard once, twice... N times.

If it weren't for her competitive nature, she might have given up after just one night.

God knows how much pressure she felt being with the two of them, so anxious that she couldn't help but pick up her phone late at night and complain to Ji Qinglian, her former team leader.

Although you weren't with Dawn Entertainment, you left your legend.

[Mengmeng invited me to collaborate on a stage performance, but I feel she has no teaching ability whatsoever; she's simply copying the methods you used to teach us.]

[Oh my god, I'm almost 30, not like before! This energetic young woman in her early 20s can't handle it!!!]

Captain, what can I offer to summon you? I suddenly realize how fortunate I am to be under your command; at least I'm never the worst one.

The next day, Ji Qinglian saw several WeChat messages on her phone and silently typed a "?".
-
Jinli and the others were rehearsing with such fervor that Xi Mengze vowed to pass on all his knowledge to them before boarding the plane.

If everyone's practice progress bar could be displayed, then Jinli and Qiguan Mingzhu's proficiency would definitely increase by +1 +1 +1...

At the same time, Ya-jun held another small meeting, and this time the debate became quite heated.

Should we accept the betting agreement from Chenxi Entertainment?

“We all know it’s impossible to sell 1000 million women’s watches in a quarter, and Jinli didn’t try to capitalize on that.”

但是卖出500万件跳到了6%，还有200万件定到了5%，所以晨曦娱乐方预估销量是200万件？”

"It's very possible, but not absolute. The key point is that a 5% sales bonus is given for just 200 million units sold, which seems a bit too much."

"Yes, this condition must be lowered!"

Having been negotiating this matter for some time, the person acting as the liaison between the two parties finally spoke up:
"Communication is impossible. Chenxi Entertainment has set this condition firmly. They said if we want to cooperate, we will cooperate according to this condition. If we don't accept it, then we won't cooperate."

These words caused an uproar among the others.

"That's outrageous!"

"Our Ya-Jun is so famous, artists are begging to work with us!"

"Fine, we won't cooperate then! We're not looking for Jinli anymore!" someone said angrily.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.

It was the person in charge who spoke up again: "We can choose not to cooperate, but in that case, you can boost these sales figures?"

The person immediately shut up, and the scene fell silent.

If they hadn't tried to boost sales of women's watches despite working with numerous celebrities, why would they have sought out Jinli and been willing to offer sales commissions as a form of profit sharing?
