I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 682 She has grown into a towering tree (Seeking monthly votes)
"Let's Farm, Boy" became a huge hit as soon as it premiered!

It swept all the charts on Tencent Video, dominating them all to become number one!

In addition to the phenomenal level of discussion on the site, many people also joined in the discussion on other social media platforms.

There's been a lot of discussion about it on platforms like blogs, Douyin (TikTok), and Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book).

Although it didn't make it into the top 10 trending topics on these platforms, it did manage to squeeze into the top 30.

Therefore, "Let's Farm, Boys" became a huge hit, becoming an instant sensation upon its premiere and achieving widespread popularity.

The production team was well-prepared.

They seem to have great confidence in this variety show, and they started creating related merchandise even before the show was released.

For example, the "farming boy band" jokingly referred to by netizens goes live every night to sell agricultural products, all of which are labeled "Farming, Young Man".

Before "Let's Farm, Boys" was released, the farming boy group came up with all sorts of creative ideas in the live stream.

Now, variety shows become hugely popular as soon as they air, and the agricultural products from "Let's Farm, Boys" are selling like hotcakes.

For the "farming boy band," no amount of praise or likes online is meaningful.

After all, which company doesn't have an online army of trolls?
Likes and trending topics can all be marketed.

The reason they felt the show was a hit was because they posted 20 agricultural product links on Douyin Video within 10 minutes of going live, and all of them sold out!
The speed of sales left them speechless.

Keep in mind, they didn't do any advertising!

They haven't even gotten to the product sales stage yet!

Originally, all aspects of the live stream were designed around selling products, but now, the products are sold out in just 10 minutes.

How are they going to sell products? How is this show going to continue?
The farming boy band expressed their melancholy.

Their expressions became even more melancholy when they saw the comments from many people in the comment section requesting to add more orders.

The team leader said, "Our official flagship store link has always been posted on the announcement. Actually, this batch of goods was hard-won, and the villagers worked overtime to pack it up."

The stock previously available on the official website has been completely purchased by your enthusiastic support through official channels.

Some netizens pointed out that there simply aren't enough to buy.

The team leader explained, "Because we started our live stream quite early, even before the program went live, we were already helping our village sell agricultural products."

We were lucky; our livestreaming room had a lot of viewers, so even though the show wasn't airing, the sales results were still pretty good.

This has resulted in almost all of our goods being sold off.

Now that the show has aired, it's receiving rave reviews. Because of their love for the show, people have come to the official flagship store to place orders, clearing out all the remaining stock, even the hardest-to-sell agricultural products.

"Regarding the issue of production capacity, we are also communicating with the villagers to see if they want to purchase agricultural products from other surrounding villages and help them sell them together."

But here's the problem: how can we ensure our quality control is done properly?

The captain's explanation has once again boosted the audience's positive feelings towards "Let's Farm, Boys".

In the program, they diligently performed farm work.

Outside of the program, they are also diligently helping to promote and sell agricultural products.

They have a firm grasp on their original intention of "helping farmers"!
Having seen too many production teams that are two-faced, the sudden appearance of an innocent-looking one is a bit jarring.

"Let's Farm, Young Man" is the most positive variety show I've seen this year!

Those TV programs that claim to help farmers and promote intangible cultural heritage should really learn from "Let's Farm, Young People." They show how to combine the program's theme with its original intention, genuinely benefiting farmers, instead of just creating a gimmick and appealing to sentimentality.

In the area of ​​helping farmers, the "Let's Farm, Young Man" program team really did not exploit farmers.

The basic selling price is the same as the purchase price.

But that doesn't mean the show doesn't make money.

Not to mention that after the show became popular, advertisers competed fiercely for advertising slots within the show, with prices reaching almost astronomical levels.

In addition to the most common advertisements, "Farming, Young Man" is also actively releasing merchandise.

The decision to produce this merchandise was made only after the show became a hit.

The production team launched various life-size standees, cards, posters, keychains, postcards... all of which transformed the grains into the commercial value of "Let's Farm, Young Man".

Every time the official flagship store releases a new batch of goods, they are sold out within ten minutes!
There is a phenomenon of supply falling short of demand in the market.

And this is only the result after "Let's Farm, Boy" has been airing for two weeks.

It's easy to imagine that as the show airs more and more and lasts longer, the number of fans will also increase, showing an explosive growth trend.

At this time, industry insiders also began to inquire about who the investors behind this variety show were.

Before "Farming, Boys" came out, who would have thought that slow-paced variety shows could be done like this?
Who would have thought that some netizens actually only wanted to see farming and a bumper rice harvest?

Some media outlets that specialize in analyzing content believe that the reason why the variety show "Let's Farm, Boys" became so popular is because the show treats the audience as human beings and does not manipulate their intelligence through malicious editing.

Meanwhile, viewers saw a peaceful and prosperous country, and a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature in this variety show!

The show has all the laughs that variety shows need.

The kind of ideas that variety shows need are also present in "Let's Farm, Boys".

The humanistic care that variety shows lack, "Let's Farm, Boys" has more of.

Under these circumstances, the show's explosive popularity became inevitable.

"Who exactly had such vision to develop this variety show?"

Industry insiders went to great lengths to inquire, and finally found out it was Chenxi Entertainment.

"Isn't Chenxi Entertainment just a retirement company? When did it start producing its own variety shows?"

"Can it even farm? Let's make a farming reality show!"

"I don't believe that given Morning Light Entertainment's preference for a comfortable lifestyle, they would invest in such a variety show. To be honest, it's quite intriguing that they can even produce their own variety shows."

Some people even wondered if it was the behind-the-scenes tycoon who invested in Chenxi Entertainment who was using Chenxi Entertainment as a springboard to invest in variety shows that he favored.

On the surface, it's Chenxi Entertainment that's making the investment, but in reality, it's the big boss behind the scenes who's controlling things.

After much inquiry, it was finally the "Farming Boys" who revealed the information to netizens during their live stream.

"This variety show is actually one that Jinli is quite optimistic about."

“Back when we were participating in the talent show, we encountered some malicious editing. Her manager was paying attention to us and mentioned it to Sister Jinli.”

Later, we were all eliminated and went home. Sister Jinli met with us the next day to encourage us.

The captain recalled the scene at the time, and even now, thinking back on it, he still can't hide his excitement.

"She said that a temporary victory is not a victory. The road of life is long, and you can always take a detour to overtake others." "She also said that she did not see the dejection of losers in us, nor was she disturbed by the online abuse. She had a good mindset and that we should participate in variety shows to spread happiness to everyone."

The captain paused, then said with immense gratitude, "It was Jinli's one sentence that changed our destiny."

"Sister Jinli thought our personalities were great and wanted to invest in us to make a variety show. Later, when the company's senior management found out, they also wanted to participate in the investment, so 'Let's Farm, Boys' was a joint investment by Sister Jinli and the company."

“When the company was filming, they wanted to replace the actors, thinking it would be safer to replace them with someone with some fame. It was Sister Jinli who firmly chose to use us, which is why we were able to meet you.”

"We cherish this opportunity. While filming the program, we were also thinking about how to promote it. The filming period lasted for half a year."

The team leader smiled and said, "Now that the show is a hit, we can rest assured that we haven't let Jinli down for her support."

The news spread quickly.

Soon after, the hashtag #JinLiParticipatedInInvestmentIn"FarmingYouth"# trended on social media!
After reading the whole story, netizens couldn't help but sigh:
As expected, Jinli lived up to her nickname "lucky koi".

I knew such an amazing variety show couldn't possibly be produced by Chenxi Entertainment.

If they had that kind of strategic thinking, they wouldn't have signed so many trainees in such a dismal environment for talent shows, leaving them unsure how to manage them.

Jinli certainly has a keen eye; the scripts she accepts are mostly hit dramas, showing she cherishes her reputation. This incident demonstrates her willingness to give newcomers opportunities.

[Chenxi Entertainment is trying so hard to latch onto Jinli's coattails. Signing an artist like her is already incredibly lucky; they can't expect to sign a second one (doge)]

The topic has sparked heated discussions online.

In real life, Chenxi Entertainment is also very busy.

The number of film and television scripts originally submitted to Jinli increased rapidly after efforts were made to secure overseas distribution channels for "Counterattack".

Now that everyone knows that "Let's Farm, Young Man" was founded and invested in by Jin Li, all sorts of weird and wonderful projects have come to Jin Li, wanting her to see if she can invest.

Sui Lingfang went to Tsinghua and Peking University campuses to find Jinli and help her with her gigs.

On the way, she brought it up specifically, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation:

"Now the president complains every day that he is running an entertainment agency, not an entertainment investment company."

Film and television production companies and variety shows are approaching us, trying to secure investment. It's one thing, but then there are all sorts of other unheard-of, unpredictable investment projects trying to cash in, treating Chenxi Entertainment like a bunch of suckers.

Jinli chuckled.

Before the live stream, the group of teenagers asked her if she could talk about how the farming community attracted investment and if she could reveal her secrets.

She answered, "Yes."

Everyone's investments are legitimate and aboveboard, not some shady business, so there's no need to hide them.

Moreover, even if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it forever.

If people in the industry really want to find out, they can find out very quickly.

There's no need to hide it.

After the news was leaked, many projects came knocking on their door seeking investment, which was exactly what Jinli and the company had anticipated and had already made preparations for.

But this attracted a lot of scam projects, and no one expected that Chenxi Entertainment would be considered a "pig butchering scam".

Jinli participated in Fangfei's event this time.

Previously, she endorsed Fangfei's new store in Beijing, offering personalized services, which attracted many wealthy people.

The bespoke service was a great success, and Fangfei even entered the custom wardrobes of some wealthy families, gaining unprecedented influence.

Many scions of wealthy families wear Fangfei's custom-made clothes and frequent high-end occasions, attracting the attention of other scions of wealthy families, who then place orders with Fangfei.

Because of the excellent results, Jinli was once again invited by Fangfei to participate in the private customization business event.

This time, the attendees were mostly tycoons with net worths in the hundreds of millions; none of them were ordinary people.

Jinli even saw a legendary celebrity at the event.

Well, anyway, the big boss has plenty of money, more than he can spend.

She took a photo with the celebrity's wife, who specifically asked her how she learned and if she had time to be a private coach, assuring her that she would not mistreat her and could be paid according to her fee for filming.

Jinli was somewhat surprised and politely declined.

"My learning method is actually very simple. It's all publicly available online, and you can find it with just a search. It really tests your self-discipline."

If we're really talking about learning techniques, professional teachers are far more experienced than I am. Thank you for your kind words, Madam.

The lady said with some regret and great hesitation, "Oh, actually I wanted you to be my son's girlfriend. My son is already in college this year. I really like you, and I wish I could marry you!"

Jinli was even more surprised.

Such absurd plots used to only occur in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

She asked curiously, "Don't people from prestigious families usually value marriage between equals and look down on celebrities in the entertainment industry?"

That's true.

in the country, no matter how successful a celebrity is, they will still be called an "actor".

Actors are heartless, prostitutes are ungrateful.

How many years has this saying been passed down?

The lady said very sincerely, "Other celebrities may not be able to do it, but you are different."

I've investigated you. You never attend drinking parties. Chenxi Entertainment is very laid-back and won't let you attend dinners with investors. You have no bad habits, and you're intelligent, self-disciplined, and hardworking.

Even after starting work, you didn't forget to study again and got into Tsinghua or Peking University. You meet all my standards for a daughter-in-law.

She paused for a moment and then said, "In addition, you are very lucky with money. Every project you invest in and every script you film has never lost money. I think that's very important."

Jinli understood.

In the end, good fortune in metaphysics outweighs everything else!

No wonder many media outlets like to use the phrase "bringing good fortune to her husband" to describe the achievements of female celebrities.

Of course, it's not uncommon for media outlets to describe male celebrities as "lucky for their wives," but it's rare.

For men, people prefer to use the phrase "get promoted, get rich, and have their wives die."

Jinli politely declined again.

She was not humbled when facing immense wealth; she handled things with grace and charisma.

That's the allure of success.

Even if people here don't invest in her new film, or even threaten to blacklist her in the industry, Jinli isn't afraid.

Because she has already grown into a towering tree, unafraid of any wind or rain.
