Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

Zhang Qilin knew that Gu Liangyuan was giving him the exposure opportunity, and there must be a purpose behind it.

But he didn't understand the key point for the time being.

So he pretended to be thinking, but secretly he calmed his mind and focused his spirit.

The Celestial Compass appeared before my eyes.

In my heart silently:

"A daily divination to predict the fortune of recording a friend's blessing for Ren Weiyi."

The compass shimmered with light, and the runes on the surface of the divination tube flickered.

Before long, a jade stick flew out of the tube.

A message appeared before Zhang Qilin's eyes:

[Neutral draw, draw]

Help Ren Weiyi record a friend's blessing video, which will be broadcast on TV. Because of your excellent image, you will attract many fans with good looks, which will provide you with many conveniences for your future development at the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

However, this also marks you with the Xinghuo Group's label, and your future actions will be seen as tied to Xinghuo Media in the eyes of the outside world. It will take a great deal of effort to remove this label.

(Choose to cooperate, reward: Temporary Popularity Perception Talisman +1; refuse to cooperate, reward: Temporary Spiritual Clarity Talisman +1)

After reading the information on the fortune slip, Zhang Qilin shook his head to himself.

It seems that Gu Liangyuan still doesn't intend to let him go.

To be honest, he was somewhat tempted by the fact that he could gain a lot of fans.

Fans are not only a necessary condition for unlocking the next level of divination, but they can also help him secure better conditions at the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

Because of his appearance, the teachers at the Beijing People's Art Theatre had some prejudice against him.

If he had the support of fans, his internship at the Beijing People's Art Theatre would be easier.

However, the price of agreeing is also very high. Once you are labeled with a certain faction, it will take a great deal of effort to remove it.

Zhang Qilin weighed the options in his mind, deciding which path would be most beneficial to him.

Gu Liangyuan's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of urging:

"Qi Lin, don't hesitate any longer. Given your relationship with Ren Weiyi, you should know how much I paid to get him to agree to give you this opportunity."

Zhang Qilin looked up at Gu Liangyuan, whose face showed a worried expression.

If one didn't know that Gu Liangyuan had tampered with the contract terms, just looking at his expression, one would really think that he was thinking of himself in everything.

Zhang Qilin's face immediately showed gratitude, and his tone was sincere:

"Mr. Gu, thank you so much for thinking of me. This talent show is so popular, it's an honor for me to appear on the program..."

Before Zhang Qilin could finish speaking, Gu Liangyuan interrupted him with a smile:

"Then what are we waiting for? I'll take you to the studio right now and record the video quickly, lest something goes wrong."

As he spoke, Gu Liangyuan was about to start the car.

Zhang Qilin immediately stopped him:

"President Gu, although I really want to film it, I'm already considered an unaffiliated member of the Beijing People's Art Theatre. In order to leave a good impression on the theatre, I need to ask them what their requirements are for this kind of thing."

Gu Liangyuan paused, looking at Zhang Qilin in disbelief.

Everything was going smoothly, so why did an unexpected problem arise at the last minute?

And this reason is actually quite difficult to refute.

His mind raced, and he instantly came up with a new solution.

Gu Liangyuan said to Zhang Qilin:

"How about this? Let's go record it first, and then you can go back and ask. I don't think the Beijing People's Art Theatre will object, since it will increase your exposure. Even if the Beijing People's Art Theatre really disagrees, the video just won't be broadcast."

Gu Liangyuan spoke eloquently, seemingly leaving room for him in every way.

But Zhang Qilin knew that once the video was filmed, it would not be easily discarded as Gu Liangyuan had said.

If he does anything against Gu Liangyuan's wishes, the other party can deliberately leak the video to the media.

Then, with a few persuasive words that are hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, he'll be in a situation he can't clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

This is nothing more than the most basic operating method of black PR.

Zhang Qilin's face showed gratitude:

"President Gu, I am very grateful for your consideration in every way, so I should not waste your resources. I think I should ask the Beijing People's Art Theatre for their opinion first."

"Qi Lin, there's no need to consider these things between us. As long as it helps you, wasting a few resources is nothing."

"The kinder you are to me, the more grateful I will be. I have to go now, but I will contact you as soon as I have any news."

With that, Zhang Qilin opened the passenger door, quickly got out, and drove away.

Watching Zhang Qilin leave, Gu Liangyuan didn't start the car immediately. He simply loosened his collar and unconsciously tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.

He stared into the distance with a gloomy expression.

He never expected that something he was so confident about would turn out this way.

The resources he provided included exposure, popularity, and opportunities to be associated with popular talent show contestants.

Either way, these are opportunities that newcomers in the entertainment industry would kill for.

But Zhang Qilin's reaction was different from everyone else's.

There are always various reasons for refusing.

This is too abnormal.

Is this young man naturally alert and deep-thinking?

Or did he hear some rumors and learn something he shouldn't have?

It seems things are more complicated than he anticipated.

To carry out President Li's orders, he had to push Zhang Qilin into a corner and make him beg for help.

Thinking of this, Gu Liangyuan's eyes turned completely cold. He started the car and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

After Zhang Qilin left, he turned a corner and continued driving until Gu Liangyuan's car was out of sight.

He then raised his hand and hailed a taxi.

After getting in the car, he told the driver his destination and then closed his eyes to check his reward.

A thought flashed through his mind, and a message appeared before his eyes.

[Reward: Luck Value +3, Temporary Spiritual Clarity Talisman +1]

Zhang Qilin had no desire to complain about the luck value anymore.

His attention was focused on the newly acquired talisman.

As he became aware of it, the specific information about the temporary talisman appeared before his eyes.

[Temporary Spirit Altar Qingming Talisman]:

Once activated, it can bring the mind into a state of high alertness and calmness, effectively eliminating external interference.

When reading scripts and analyzing characters, it is easier to capture the complex and subtle aspects of human nature beneath the words.

At the same time, they have a vague intuitive warning of deliberate guidance, hypocritical flattery, or potential traps in other people's words.

Upon seeing the description of the talisman, Zhang Qilin thought it was excellent.

Especially in a highly competitive place like the Beijing People's Art Theatre, having this talisman in an emergency allows him to understand the characters in the script more quickly than others.

This will give him a greater chance of securing a good role.

Just as he was happily acquiring a useful talisman, his phone rang.

Zhang Qilin took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Thinking of yesterday's interview, Zhang Qilin immediately answered the call.

"Hello."

A serious voice came from the phone:

"Excuse me, are you Zhang Qilin?"

"It's me. May I ask who you are?"

"This is the Actors Center of the People's Art Theatre," the voice on the other end said clearly and professionally. "You are being informed that you have passed our intern actor interview. Please report to the theatre at 8:30 a.m. the day after tomorrow to complete the necessary procedures. Please do not be late."

"Okay, thank you. I'll definitely be there on time the day after tomorrow," Zhang Qilin replied.

"Hmm," the other party said without saying anything more, and then hung up the phone.
