I'm already halfway there, and your dormitory should be quite far from the temple.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li: [How about this: I'll bring back some specialty souvenirs from the temple for all of you in March Sky? I'll send photos later so you can choose whatever you like. The temple is quite large, and there are plenty of souvenirs.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng: [^_^]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng: [No need for souvenirs.

Worshipping oneself would create a bad impression. I'll bring back several glittering golden statues of the God of Wealth for you. It's settled!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin: [Raising my hand timidly, Gu Cheng may not want a souvenir, but I really do. Sister Li, could you bring one for me? I feel incredibly unlucky lately.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation between Jin Li and Gu Cheng took place in the group chat created by Ji Qinglian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of their exchange was perfectly normal, nothing hidden; everyone could see their chat history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Qinglian: [+1.

Since it was the weekend, the temple was crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she had chosen a white T-shirt paired with light blue jeans, a beige cap, and a pink face mask, deliberately pulling the brim low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her fair skin, excellent figure, and long, soft black hair flowing freely, she attracted the gaze of many tourists as she walked along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with Sui Lingfang accompanying her, the two walking arm-in-arm, looking around just like other tourists, the situation was much better than if she had come alone. People glanced a few times before looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loved it, loved it. Is this the feeling of safety?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li couldn't help but laugh softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her previous visit had been rushed, daring not to wander, but this time, mindful of buying gifts, she strolled properly with Sui Lingfang, purchasing over a dozen interesting little trinkets upon encountering them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang asked, \"Why did you buy so many?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li replied, \"The items in the temple are all quite nice. I'm buying some to give as gifts. For instance, this red cord seems excellent; it can ward off evil spirits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang hadn't initially intended to buy anything, but hearing this, she felt somewhat tempted. \"Does it really work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li thought for a moment and said, \"Not necessarily. Many things work only if you believe they work; if you believe they don't, then they don't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since a red cord wasn't expensive anyway, Sui Lingfang bought one, praising Jin Li's thoughtful approach to gift-giving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, when you encounter people in the industry with whom you have a decent relationship, give them gifts often. They don't need to be valuable; as long as the sentiment is there, people will remember you frequently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sui Lingfang felt that Jin Li was actually very well-suited for the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was rational, saw things clearly, knew how to conduct herself, and didn't dwell on many matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, though, it was because of her poor health that she couldn't afford to dwell on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, such a disposition tended to lead to a longer career in the entertainment circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars who fretted excessively over immediate gains and losses would fall into mental exhaustion, tormenting themselves and others, resulting in tense relationships with their teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Jin Li and Sui Lingfang were touring the temple, the production team of \"PICK~Next Diva\" held an emergency meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the program's schedule, today, Saturday, marked the broadcast of the upper part of the second episode, while also initiating the first rehearsal for the third variety show segment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the celebrities scheduled for rehearsal had arrived, including Lian Baozhi, the hot topic of the group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her rehearsal was scheduled for the evening, so she didn't need to arrive in the afternoon; she came early specifically to communicate with the person in charge of the program, apologize, and explain that previous errors were due to her manager's mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the program team assigned someone to handle her, they organized a small meeting among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main purpose of this meeting was to analyze the data following the broadcast of the second episode, summarize its highlights, and strive to incorporate similar highlights into the third episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although only five hours had passed since the full second episode aired, whether a variety show would become a hit could often be determined from its initial performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, \"PICK~Next Diva\" always achieved its highest traffic on the first day of broadcast, gradually declining thereafter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the conference room, the analyzed data pointed in two directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first direction was the boy band March Sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>March Sky truly deserved their status as the top boy band of the past two years; they were masters at retaining traffic, with their fans constituting a significant portion of the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second direction was the gimmick of the Pink Girls group reuniting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pink Girls also truly deserved their title as the undisputed top girl band of three years ago; the fans attracted by Jin Li and Ji Qinglian were almost entirely new fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did \"new fans\" mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant these fans hadn't watched the first episode but started directly with the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the new fan data retrieved from the backend, this level of audience attraction was entirely comparable to the results achieved by spending millions on external promotion for the second episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the appearance fee for inviting Jin Li, this return was far too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the combination of the Pink Girls group and the March Sky boy band yielded such excellent results, why don't we continue inviting Jin Li for the third season?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid a stretch of silence, a staff member spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, it triggered a chain reaction; others one after another voiced their agreement, all believing that continuing to invite Jin Li would achieve even better results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only we had known the Pink Girls' fans possessed such formidable fighting power, we should have invited every member of the group from the very start and gathered them all on one show,\" someone said with deep regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person said, \"The planning team actually considered that idea at the time and sent invitations to the other members, but every single one was rejected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the first season began recording, Jin Li was in poor health, so we did not send her an invitation; seeing that Jin Li was not going, the others decided not to go either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, LP informed us that they did not wish for the Pink Girls to reunite. Therefore, even if we had invited Jin Li back then, a reunion would have been impossible; Ji Qinglian would not have come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of LP, everyone recalled the incident in the official group chat where Lian Baozhi and her manager were harshly rebuked, and they could not help but exchange glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, should we continue inviting Jin Li? The third season has no mentor-partner segment; if we truly want her to come, we must devise another approach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-06-15T01:57:26.148Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8d900eb18a488251b6bc0121055ebbc7c2bf935e1f7cf83887a79c4b640733ba","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-46","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-44",794,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--cover.jpg"]
