For no other reason than it's simply bad luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li blinked. \"That's good then; I happen to be very effective against such people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li said seriously, \"A koi fish can also dispel bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Sui Lingfang burst into laughter. \"If you can be this witty on a variety show too, I'll have less to worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the decision to accept the engagement was made, Sui Lingfang quickly contacted Lian Baozhi's agent. Both parties were efficient, and the cooperation contract was signed that afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, as Lian Baozhi emerged from the dance studio, her agent said, \"It's done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Baozhi raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression relaxing. \"So easily? Did Chenxi Company give you any trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent shook her head. \"No. This stage is a good opportunity for Jin Li; they wouldn't let it slip away easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reminded, \"The contract is already signed, so it's too late to say anything now, but I want to remind you again: do not underestimate Jin Li's strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although netizens call her the 'Half-Session Diva,' even if she was slacking off in the second half, her ability still surpasses that of ordinary singing-and-dancing idols.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Baozhi took a sip of water, tilting her slender neck slightly upward to reveal her beautiful swan neck; even in private, she paid great attention to her image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, she scoffed indifferently. \"Then let Jin Li try to steal my spotlight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've watched her videos; at that level, even I could do it. Her past fame was all luck, riding the wave of the 'Pink Girls' trend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving the past aside, she has been resting for three years, her body is weak, and she spends every day live-streaming her studies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by her posture, I know she hasn't been practicing singing or dancing. Compared to these, I may not match Ji Qinglian, but against Jin Li, I am more than sufficient!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finally secured a mentor position on \"PICK~Next Stop Diva,\" Lian Baozhi valued this opportunity immensely and would never allow anyone to ruin it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, her status as a top-tier star was somewhat unstable, with netizens constantly criticizing her online for lacking representative works.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are defined by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone with no representative works performed better than Jin Li on the show, what would those netizens have left to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang arrived early at Jin Li's studio apartment, bringing a nutritionist with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting today, you must start exercising; otherwise, I'm truly afraid you'll faint during the show. The nutritionist is here to regulate your body. We won't arrange a diet for weight or fat loss; she will specifically manage your muscle gain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang circled Jin Li. \"With these thin arms and legs of yours, let alone high-intensity dancing, I feel you'd struggle to carry an empty box to the second floor. You must exercise properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li was also aware of her physical condition. If she truly intended to dance on stage, she couldn't attempt high-difficulty routines and could only perform simple hand gestures and leg movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that would be too boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shared her plan with Sister Fang: she did not intend to dance on the comeback stage but would sing purely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang hesitated slightly, but Jin Li added, \"Unless you really want me to go there as a mere vase, just selling cuteness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your singing...\" She dragged out the tail of her words, very hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li said firmly, \"It's still better than dancing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her determination, Sui Lingfang said no more. \"Fine, arrange it as you wish, but you must spend two hours every day exercising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li gave her an OK sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment had an area for exercise; being a high-end complex where everyone was busy with work, it was basically empty during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one was truly worried, one could also book the apartment's private gym, which cost money but offered decent service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit small, but made up for it with complete equipment and a clean environment, saving the trouble of running around elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company attached great importance to Jin Li's comeback stage; whether they could sustain the traffic depended entirely on whether this shot would hit the mark!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the company specially rented a nearby apartment short-term for the nutritionist to facilitate daily supervision of Jin Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such \"surveillance,\" Jin Li's daily routine became even more regular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, exercise for one hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Return, take a shower, and start a live stream for studying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exercise for another hour in the afternoon, rest a bit, skip the study live stream to work on music instead, then continue the study live stream in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li felt that this body possessed some musical talent; becoming an idol girl group member was quite a fortunate accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing inspiration from her memories, she began modifying songs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, it was complicated; the copyrights for all \"Pink Girls\" songs were held by their former agency. When that agency dissolved, the song copyrights were purchased by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, they did not know who had bought them and could not contact the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that even if they wanted to sing their group songs now, they couldn't, as they lacked the copyright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some teammates had sung the full versions on shows without receiving any breach-of-contract notices. After several instances passed without issue, everyone assumed it was permissible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Jin Li planned to sing a group song on the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this day and age, selling nostalgia is a trump card; whoever plays it knows the effect. Some stars can still sell nostalgia, while others want to but cannot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no professional vocal rooms nearby, Jin Li moved to the gym to practice singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The private gym had recently been booked by someone else, a young, tall guy with a good physique; his loose clothing vaguely outlined his solid muscle lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man was just like her, fond of mystery; he always appeared dressed entirely in black, covered from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, after he finished using it, Jin Li would take her turn. After Jin Li finished, it would be his turn again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they met more often, they developed a nodding acquaintance, occasionally exchanging words, but these were limited to greetings like \"You're here,\" \"Good morning,\" or \"Good afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the fifth day that Jin Li got stuck for a long time while revising a song; she repeatedly failed to perfect a small section, became so immersed that she forgot about the handover time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that tall young man opened the door, he heard Jin Li anxiously singing that same passage over and over. After listening for a while, he simply could not bear it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you know how to practice breath control? Where is your vocal coach?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was exceptionally clear and pleasant, carrying a magnetic quality; this was the longest sentence he had ever spoken to her since they first met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li looked up at him in a daze and suddenly realized an obvious oversight—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company assumed that, as a former girl group member, she was proficient in both singing and dancing, capable of handling things on her own; furthermore, since she no longer danced, there was no need to hire anyone to choreograph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they had all overlooked one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the fact that while Jin Li had some foundation, she actually knew nothing about vocal techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm done for, Jin Li thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt so stupid she wanted to go crash her head against a block of tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here we go, good night! Thank you everyone for your recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and comments; I have read every single one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1484,"2026-06-15T01:57:26.148Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3d59b618c344b85fdba38cfcebd4739873d43d0f889648e8b1434b0313ec47c7","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-15","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-13",794,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--cover.jpg"]
