Chapter 116 Settlement Rewards

After practicing his lines for three hours, Zhang Qilin stretched.

I glanced at the time; it was already ten o'clock.

He was about to go online to see what was going on.

At that moment, several messages popped up in front of him.

[Unaffected by external factors, reward: Luck Value +5, Popularity Fragment +1]

[Danger cleared, Reward: Luck Value +5, Clear Stream Mark Fragment +1]

[Real fans: 10000]

[Increased fan activity rewards +20 Luck Points]

[Passerby favorability increases, reward: Luck Points +30]

[Popularity surpasses 100 million views, reward: +50 Luck Points]

[First appearance on CCTV, significantly boosting commercial value, rewarding +100 luck points]

A series of notifications scrolled down, making Zhang Qilin jump up in surprise.

You should know that in the past, the system would only give you about 5 points of luck each time you avoided danger or completed a lucky divination.

I never expected that appearing on CCTV would bring me such a rich reward.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, realizing that to quickly accumulate luck points, he needed to stir up trouble, something big.

The greater the impact, the greater the reward.

But then I thought about it again. With my current strength, if I really went too far, I might not even have time to suffer the backlash.

Let's wait until we're strong enough before doing anything.

Of all these rewards, the one that made him happiest was finally reaching 10,000 real followers.

[Open the altar and ask for directions] requires 1 active followers + luck value ≥ 1000 to unlock.

Now, the fan requirements have been met, all that's missing is luck points.

He silently said to himself, "Check my luck value."

[Luck Value: 530]

Looking at the luck value, there are still 470 points needed to unlock the altar and ask for directions.

Zhang Qilin pondered how to steadily earn enough luck points without making any mistakes.

He has been in this world for several months and has been staying at the Beijing People's Art Theatre. Besides focusing on honing his acting skills, there is another very important reason.

Unlock the way and ask for directions.

It's not about leaving the Beijing People's Art Theatre after unlocking it, but about going far in the future.

The Beijing People's Art Theatre is considered a rare place of integrity in the entertainment industry, but even so, Daily Bu still finds it a bit challenging.

Moreover, many seemingly top-tier resources in the entertainment industry are, in most cases, traps disguised as sugar.

The core capability of "Open the Forum and Ask for Advice" is to help him avoid risks at key junctures such as script selection and variety show contracts, making it clear which are real opportunities and which are pitfalls.

The entertainment industry has always been ruthless, let alone a newcomer like him who hasn't even reached the top tier yet.

Even for those currently popular top-tier celebrities, it's a matter of minutes if capital wants to take advantage of them.

The Beijing People's Art Theatre is his safe haven now, but he can't stay in the ivory tower forever.

Sooner or later, I'll have to go out and face that dazzling world.

However, the prerequisite for going out is unlocking new capture abilities.

After figuring out what to do, Zhang Qilin went online to check the situation.

He was busy rehearsing all day, and when he got home in the evening, he practiced the basics and didn't pay attention to anything online.

He never expected that simply appearing on CCTV would bring him so many rewards.

Zhang Qilin opened his phone and was greeted by a deluge of messages related to him.

His topics continue to dominate the trending searches on Weibo.

Screenshots and videos of his performances on CCTV have gone viral online, sparking heated discussions among fans and casual viewers in the comments section.

"This screenshot of him in red is absolutely stunning; it perfectly captures the air of a noble young master."

"The adaptation of 'Coral Song' is truly amazing. I've listened to it on repeat countless times, and it gets better and better with each listen."

"That improvisation segment was absolutely amazing."

He saw these positive comments, but he knew that the entertainment industry was ever-changing and he couldn't let the current popularity cloud his judgment.

He continued browsing and found that in addition to praise for his performance, there were also many speculations about his future development.

"With his looks and acting skills, I wonder when he'll enter the film and television industry?"

"Zhang Qilin is so popular right now, he'll probably get a lot of offers, and we'll likely see his work soon."

He smiled as he looked at this. Knowing Pu Cunxin's temperament, no matter how good the resources were, he would definitely block them for him.

He also checked some industry news websites, where articles pointed out that Zhang Qilin's emergence has injected new vitality into the entertainment industry and may lead to a new trend.

Some people have compared him to other young actors of the same generation, believing that he has a clear advantage in terms of acting skills and potential.

However, amidst these praises, there were also discordant voices.

"It's just luck that she got on CCTV; whether she can stay popular is still uncertain."

"There must be someone backing him up, otherwise, out of so many people appearing on CCTV, how come he's the only one who's become so popular?"

Faced with these questions, Zhang Qilin simply smiled.

Such voices are unavoidable in the entertainment industry.

Instead of wasting his time reasoning with these people, it would be more effective for him to respond to their doubts with his own strength.

After reading all this, a question popped into his mind: Am I really that popular?

Just because someone appeared on CCTV, the internet reacted like it was Chinese New Year.

Even if Jing Tian was involved, it would be impossible to achieve this level.

With questions in mind, he called Meng Tingyun.

As soon as the call connected, I heard a busy signal coming from the receiver.

Then Meng Tingyun's voice was heard: "Brother Lin, is there something you need?"

"Sister Meng, why is there such a big commotion today?"

There was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone, and then Meng Tingyun briefly recounted what had happened.

After listening to Zhang Qilin, he realized that the reason he was getting so much attention today was because he had been used as a scapegoat.

He was secretly pleased, never expecting there to be so many stories behind it.

It's just too coincidental that the cash cows of those two companies were exposed one after the other at this particular time.

I wonder which great philanthropist did it.

Currently, he is the biggest beneficiary of this incident, while Gu Liangyuan of Xinghuo Media is the most unfortunate.

There are now many memes about him online.

I imagine he wasn't feeling too good either.

After understanding the whole story, Zhang Qilin thanked Meng Tingyun's team for their hard work in maintaining the relationship and then hung up the phone.

He stood up, turned off the computer, and went out into the yard.

Standing under the old jujube tree in the yard, I took a deep breath of the cool night breeze.

He looked up at the sky, where stars twinkled.

The tranquil courtyard house seemed like a completely different world from the uproar online.

Tonight's appearance was a success; at least it gave many people who were previously unfamiliar with him a preliminary impression of him through television.

But this is only the beginning.

The hype will fade, and the topic will cool down.

He will attract more attention within the industry, including well-intentioned appreciation, but also scrutiny and potential competition.

To establish himself in the entertainment industry, he needs solid work, continuous exposure, and a stable public image and professional reputation.

The stage of the Beijing People's Art Theatre is the foundation of all of this.

He stood in the middle of the courtyard, letting the night breeze clear his mind.

After this incident, Gu Liangyuan's life will definitely not be easy, but Xinghuo won't do anything to him openly.

For ordinary people, many things can be salvaged simply by apologizing and punishing those responsible.

However, many companies would rather pretend to be dead and be criticized than give the public an explanation.

For the companies involved, even if they deal with the individuals behind the scenes, they won't bring it out into the open for others to see.

Because they can't let insiders think that the boss is a ruthless person who discards his employees after they've served their purpose, otherwise the company can't function.

Having figured this out, Zhang Qilin didn't expect Xinghuo to give any explanation.

But one thing is certain: Xinghuo will never dare to provoke him again.

After standing under the tree for a while, he turned around and went back inside to wash up.

After getting into bed, he opened a classic novel as usual, read for a while, and then went to sleep when he felt sleepy.

That night, online discussions about Zhang Qilin not only didn't subside, but actually became even more heated.

Discussions about Zhang Qilin on Weibo are particularly lively.

The hashtag 【Zhang Qilin's Coral Ode】 remained at the top of the trending searches for several hours, with over 200 million views.

Netizens not only discussed his singing, but also the impromptu performance of the rickshaw driver segment, which was extracted and spread wildly on various platforms.

"His acting is absolutely amazing. You can't tell at all that he's the handsome guy who sang 'Ode to Coral'."

"The Beijing People's Art Theatre is indeed the Beijing People's Art Theatre; their skills are truly exceptional."

"Spark Media must be kicking themselves right now. How could they not have signed such a promising talent?"

"@SparkMedia, is your lawyer's letter ready? CCTV-1 is waiting for you~"

Jokes mocking Xinghuo Media are popping up everywhere.

Some netizens turned screenshots of Gu Liangyuan's previous interview into memes, captioned "I'm suing CCTV?"

Am I worthy?

Even more extreme, some people put a photo of the CCTV building together with the logo of Xinghuo Media, with the caption "Xinghuo Media's latest strategic partner".

5:30 a.m. the next day

Zhang Qilin is stretching in the rehearsal hall.

Li Wei and the others gathered around, their faces filled with excitement and envy.

Li Wei's eyes sparkled: "Brother Lin, we all watched yesterday's show. You were so cool on stage."

"Exactly, our QQ group exploded last night, everyone was talking about you," Lin Yue chimed in excitedly. "The song 'Coral Song' is so beautiful, my parents even called to ask if you're my classmate."

"Brother Lin, you really made our Beijing People's Art Theatre proud last night," Zhao Hong said excitedly.

Li Xiang, standing next to him, chimed in, "Yes, yes, we were all stunned. The internet is full of praise for you, and many people are discussing your future development."

Zhang Qilin said with a smile, "We were lucky, and it's also thanks to the teacher's guidance. If you practice hard, you'll have opportunities in the future."

Li Wei's eyes lit up: "Really? We have a chance to appear on CCTV?"

"As long as you lay a solid foundation, getting on CCTV is only a matter of time," Feng Yuanzheng said as he walked over.

Hearing what Teacher Feng said, all the interns became even more excited.

Feng Yuanzheng clapped his hands: "Time's up, everyone start practicing. If you don't master the basics, how will you have a chance to appear on CCTV?"

After hearing Feng Yuanzheng's words, everyone dispersed.

Feng Yuanzheng looked at Zhang Qilin with a gratified expression, but said aloud;

"Maintain a positive attitude and avoid arrogance."

Zhang Qilin nodded with a smile.

11:30 PM

Zhang Qilin is getting food in the cafeteria.

Whether you know them or not, everyone you meet will say that the show was well-performed.

He would also humbly say that he still needs to learn from the teachers.

After getting his food, he sat by the window, eating while scrolling through his phone.

Sudden.

The phone screen flashed, indicating that someone had called.

Zhang Qilin looked at the name and saw it was Lin Xinru.

He couldn't help but frown.

He really didn't want to have much contact with this person, lest he be betrayed later.

But it's not good to have the phone ringing incessantly in the cafeteria right now.

After thinking about it, he answered the call anyway.

As soon as the call was answered, a woman's voice with a Taiwanese accent came from the other end: "Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Qilin?"

"It's me, Miss Lin. Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhang Qilin asked.
