Chapter 58: Angry, Shaking, Cold, Don't My Paparazzi Have Face?

Accompanying was impossible.

Chen Lin hadn't played a few notes before he was disliked by Yan Xingdong for playing badly, and was told to take out the electronic keyboard to practice sheet music.

Hearing this, Jin Li asked curiously: "Do you guys carry musical instruments with you?"

Gu Cheng said: "Some work occasions require them. The instruments provided by the organizer are ultimately not as familiar as the ones we usually use."

Jin Li nodded: "Understandable."

She got up at six in the morning, ran a lap, prayed to Mazu, and brought breakfast to the top floor.

It was only six-thirty then.

When she rang the doorbell, she realized it was too early and intended to go back, but the next second, Gu Cheng opened the door for her.

Jin Li was very surprised: "Are you up so early?"

Gu Cheng looked in good spirits, not like he had just woken up.

He shook his head: "I woke up around seven, but I asked Sister Fang about your routine beforehand and knew you wake up relatively early, so I got up early today."

"Ah, Sister Fang?"

Gu Cheng glanced at her and suddenly smiled, half of his body leaning lazily against the wall: "Sister Lizi, you didn't think I'd ask you to study together without greeting your agent, did you?"

Jin Li blinked: "I really didn't think about that."

Gu Cheng said nonchalantly: "But sister's agent seems to care about this. She knows I study well. I told her, and she agreed."

Jin Li also said with great feeling: "My agent is really good to me, nothing to say."

Human hearts are made of flesh.

She saw all the good Sister Fang did for her.

Whether it was the current her or the original owner, the feeling toward Sister Fang was very complicated—not the kind of complicated with ten thousand emotions.

But rather a complicated feeling of wanting to be close, but not daring to be too close.

The original owner was an orphan with no relatives.

During those three years when her health was poor, she didn't run many gigs, but Sister Fang would come to visit her once or twice every month, which made up for her lonely emotions.

Including the current Jin Li, she also regarded Sister Fang as her sister in her heart.

The group struggled until ten o'clock.

Jin Li stretched her body, happily jumped a boy band dance with them, and threw herself into studying again.

This time, she asked for others' opinions and started a live stream.

This live stream was watching teaching videos and taking notes synchronously.

[The Jin Li live stream you follow has started!]

Today is Sunday. As soon as Jin Li started the stream, a lot of people came in.

Fans rushed in to check in first, saying they must listen to the lecture and take notes seriously today.

Fans finished, and it was the turn of the gossip netizens, saying they were just coming to take a look.

After these two main forces pulled by traffic finished posting comments, it was the turn of the serious study people to go on stage.

[abandon, vt. give up, abandon. n. indulgence, fanaticism. access, n. passage, visit, entry. vt. access, approach...]

[Many countries attach great importance to the comprehensive utilization of seawater resources. What substances can be obtained from seawater without chemical changes? A: Chlorine, bromine, iodine. B: Sodium, magnesium, aluminum. C: Caustic soda, hydrogen. D: Salt, fresh water.]

[Which of the following does not belong to the main characteristics of economic globalization? A: Free flow of capital and information. B: High integration of economic interests between countries. C: International large companies become the main body of economic globalization. D: Strengthening transparency of national labor markets.]

Fans looked at this list of questions and fell silent.

Netizens looked at these questions, muttered a few times that they couldn't afford to offend, and bowed down.

Only the civil service exam dogs, high school students, and study-abroad students silently shed tears, wishing to hug each other and shout: "Fellow countrymen! Finally saw you, fellow countrymen!"

Jin Li and Gu Cheng each had one earphone to watch the teaching video. Gu Cheng didn't notice when taking notes and turned to the side, and a small corner of his clothes entered the frame.

Some fans who had been staring at the live stream saw it and kept posting comments asking who the owner of the clothes was.

But they were excited for nothing.

There were tens of millions of people online, and only a few dozen responses.

The world of grind-dogs is just this pure and silent—two ears don't hear things outside the window, one heart only reads the books of sages.

Instead, Yan Xingdong suddenly received a call from his agent.

The agent asked suspiciously: "Are you guys still in the hotel near the production team? A paparazzi contacted me, saying they took a big melon related to you, and asked me for a few tens of thousands to tell me what the melon is."

This was just a fee to buy the news.

After buying the news and knowing what the melon was, they would consider whether to buy the melon from the paparazzi.

That was another price.

But the agent was particularly assured of the San Yue Tian boy band. They had experience practicing abroad, could endure more hardship than domestic trainees, had experienced cruel elimination PK abroad, and cherished the hard-won domestic opportunities.

So the agent wasn't worried that they would mess around. After receiving the news from the paparazzi, he asked Yan Xingdong for the first time.

Yan Xingdong asked: "The hotel near the production team?"

He looked up at the window. The window was open for ventilation, but the curtains were drawn. Occasionally, when the wind was strong, it would blow a corner of the curtain, revealing a little of the scene inside.

Yan Xingdong understood.

It was probably just this sporadic corner that was photographed by the paparazzi.

However, he didn't know what the photos looked like from such scattered angles.

Yan Xingdong said: "You don't have to worry. We are studying with Teacher Jin Li. We opened a presidential suite in the hotel near the Mazu Temple. Everyone is working and studying seriously together right now."

The agent was dumbfounded: "Studying, Mazu Temple, working?"

Strange.

He understood the meaning of these words when said separately. Why couldn't he understand when combined?

Yan Xingdong: "We'll clarify in a moment. This matter is very easy to solve. On the contrary, working with Teacher Jin Li makes our efficiency fly.

I have written most of the music for the new song, Luo Yi has also written most of the lyrics, Chen Lin was urged to practice sheet music, and his piano level has risen. As for Gu Cheng, he said he wants to take the college entrance exam and get into a domestic university."

He said it all in one breath.

The agent was overjoyed when he heard the front, and his mouth twitched when he heard the back.

He was speechless for several seconds, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and finally, he really didn't know what to say, helplessly saying:

"Just pay attention to the measure. Next time you record a variety show, I'll come over too and see who this Teacher Jin Li is, that she can actually cure you guys."

Yan Xingdong looked at Jin Li and Gu Cheng who were still listening to the lecture seriously and sighed: "Nothing else, just grind-dogs."

Staying with these two people, you would feel guilty if you didn't work hard.

After finishing the call.

Yan Xingdong thought for a moment, went to the curtain, and pulled it open.

After pulling it open, he even waved at the window specifically.

Yan Xingdong looked around outside, only to say that the paparazzi's lens was really powerful. Anyway, he couldn't find where they were no matter what.

Everything he saw was empty.

Yan Xingdong turned and said: "Teacher Jin Li, a paparazzi took our photos. How about we enter your live stream to clarify?"

The live stream had already recorded Yan Xingdong's voice. After he spoke, he made up his mind and believed Jin Li wouldn't disagree.

Sure enough, Jin Li said without thinking: "Okay, you guys come over."

[What's going on, what's going on? I seem to have heard my boyfriend's voice?]

[Tell me in detail, how many boyfriends do you have? Dog head.jpg]

[Not many, enough for me to change one every day. Green dog head.jpg]

The camera shook, and Gu Cheng took the phone.

He filmed the presidential suite, the lyrics and music scores, and the "Five-Three" and notes on the table.

Finally, the San Yue Tian boy band and Jin Li entered the frame together.

Yan Xingdong said: "Haha, suddenly appearing, don't know if it scared you guys. We didn't mean it!"

"There's one thing to clarify here. After recording the show, we happened to go play nearby. Teacher Jin Li happened to be nearby too, so she took us to play."

"Today, Teacher Jin Li wants to study, and we also want to create lyrics and music scores, so we called Teacher Jin Li to study together."

"We all knew she was live streaming. Just now, the agent called me and said a paparazzi took photos. I was afraid they would talk nonsense, so I clarified directly through Teacher Jin Li's live stream."

"We are all working seriously, don't spread rumors!"

After clarifying, Yan Xingdong returned the phone to Jin Li.

Jin Li didn't know what to say, so she said: "Everyone heard it. The San Yue Tian boy band has a strong desire to study—no, to work, so we must try our best to satisfy them. Now let's continue studying."

As soon as she finished speaking, she switched back to the lecture channel.

The members of the March Sky boy band looked at each other. Teacher Jin Li was indeed Teacher Jin Li; she didn't try to ride their coattails at all, and she didn't need to.

For grind-dogs, whoever grinds more, grinds more brilliantly, is more worthy of attention.

[Ah, Li Bao's crisp and neat posture is just like a scumbag girl who abandoned me T^T]

[So San Yue Tian boy band and Li Bao are so close privately, they can even study together?]

[Good, good, good, study, study, study, support all your decisions!]

Jin Li was still studying on this side.

On the other side, the paparazzi who stole the photos were miserable!

They were actually specifically here to squat on Jin Li.

It wasn't a secret that Jin Li would stay at the Mazu Temple whenever she came to record the show.

Some diligent paparazzi squatted near the Mazu Temple to steal photos, seeing if they could dig up any big news.

But Jin Li's routine was really too abnormal.

It was abnormal for celebrities, but it was a very healthy level for ordinary people.

Following Jin Li for several days in a row, getting up earlier than a chicken, the result was only photographing morning runs, praying, and buying breakfast.

The paparazzi angrily overturned the table. They were so painstaking, not to photograph these things!

Squatting for several days, finally squatted on Jin Li and San Yue Tian in the same frame, and even entered and exited the presidential suite together.

The paparazzi's eyes lit up. This must be a big news!

After finally taking a few ambiguous photos, they contacted San Yue Tian's agent and were about to talk about the price, who knew Yan Xingdong would pull open the curtain.

Even waved at them!

Wave your mother, do you think you're walking a dog!

Seeing Yan Xingdong greet them openly, the paparazzi had a bad premonition in his heart. Shortly after, his subordinate said:

"Boss, the San Yue Tian boy band appeared together in Jin Li's live stream. They were actually studying. Sigh, these photos were taken in vain. Why are celebrities so hardworking now?"

The subordinate also chattered: "Boss, are these photos still going to be released?"

The paparazzi rolled his eyes: "Release your idiot, delete them! Letting these photos occupy my camera's memory, even for a second, is wasting the camera's value!"

Continued to study for another hour.

Approaching noon, Jin Li saw it wasn't early and ended the stream.

Everyone discussed and felt that the hotel food was a bit greasy, so they simply cooked for themselves. Anyway, the presidential suite was fully equipped with kitchen utensils, and the refrigerator had water and wine.

Gu Cheng specifically asked: "Can Teacher Jin Li eat barbecue?"

In the past, Jin Li couldn't eat it.

However, she planned to pray to Mazu again before leaving, so she said: "No problem, my body is better now, I should be able to eat."

Gu Cheng: "Okay, we'll have barbecue at noon."

They didn't need to prepare ingredients. With one phone call, the waiter automatically delivered the goods.

Knowing they were going to have barbecue, the hotel also thoughtfully asked if they needed skewers, barbecue grills, charcoal, etc., and chefs, all of which could be prepared for them.

Except for the chef, the other materials and tools were all packed by the hotel for the San Yue Tian boy band, counted in the service fee.

This was Jin Li's first time eating barbecue, and also her first time trying iced cola. Smelling this strand of human fireworks, she smiled and bent her eyes.

Gu Cheng handed her a chicken wing and, seeing her happy, couldn't help but ask: "Haven't tried it before?"

Jin Li shook her head: "The gigs were too busy before, and I just ate boxed lunches at noon, rarely having such leisure to eat things."

Later, her health was too poor, and she didn't dare to eat these things, not even drinking iced water, only cooking coarse tea and light rice, less salt, less sugar, less oil, and eating everything lightly.

Today's barbecue was the first time she ate it.

As for even earlier, the experience of working before becoming a celebrity, that's even less to mention.

Same as a worker.

Some people drink coffee at work and eat barbecue after work.

Some people do hard labor at work and... just want to go home and rest after work, not wanting to move at all.

Gu Cheng heard this and said: "When you have time in the future, I'll take you to eat all kinds of delicious food, but it depends on whether your body can bear it."

Jin Li responded refreshingly: "Okay!"

After lunch, the group ran to pray at the Mazu Temple and then parted ways.

Jin Li was still in her home daily outfit, calling a taxi back to the company herself.

Don't say, this home outfit of hers looked quite low-key.

Plus the sun was poisonous outside, she followed the crowd and put on sunscreen ice sleeves, covering the skin of her arms.

The whole person looked ten years older, walking on the road, not attracting any attention at all.

After Jin Li left, the San Yue Tian boy band got into the nanny car sent by the company.

Unlike other top-tier stars who want to solidify fans, their whereabouts are not disclosed to the public, so fans rarely squat on them.

Plus the company's security specifications are high, no matter what activities they participate in, they all have four bodyguards.

The bodyguards are all dressed in low-key outfits, looking like their assistants, but they are actually observing the surroundings.

So San Yue Tian doesn't worry about safety when going out.

After getting in the car, Chen Lin said: "Sister Jin Li is really grounded. She is one of the more simple celebrities I have ever seen."

Luo Yi nodded: "She has no celebrity baggage at all, appearing completely bare-faced, not worried about being photographed and complained about."

Yan Xingdong also agreed: "Her skin is very good, and she looks quite good bare-faced. If I had her skin, I would be willing to be bare-faced every day."

Gu Cheng said thoughtfully: "That's true. She puts on a color-changing moisturizing lipstick, and it's like she's wearing makeup. Her innate foundation is good."

Chen Lin's expression shifted: "Anyway, I feel that Sister Jin Li is open-minded and generous, not sticking to small details. How about we invite her to the group variety show we are about to launch?"

Luo Yi asked back: "Aren't you afraid of rumors?"

Chen Lin thought for a moment: "Inviting a female star is easy to speculate, so how about inviting two? Sister Qinglian is also familiar with us, can we invite her?"

Yan Xingdong shook his head: "No, these two female stars have too much overlap with our business. Both participated in 'PICK~ Next Station Diva.' If we invite Sister Qinglian, netizens will say why don't we invite Lian Baozhi, playing that bullying routine."

Chen Lin was stunned, and it took a long time to say: "That's true."

Gu Cheng suddenly spoke: "Didn't Sister Lizi say that the other members of the Pink Girls group also have good personalities? You can try inviting other members instead of Sister Qinglian."

"And it's good for publicity. Our boy band and their girl group have both stood at the peak of team top-tier. If we do a variety show together, it can also make people nostalgic."

Yan Xingdong pondered: "This idea is good. I'll communicate with Brother Guang later."

When Jin Li was taking a taxi back to the company.

"PICK~ Next Station Diva" finished broadcasting the second episode, and after delaying for a day, finally announced the elimination rules for the second episode—

Full team elimination battle!

The thing the trainees were worried about finally came. The elimination of this talent show was not based on individual units, but on group units!

Jin Li was originally closing her eyes to rest in the car, listening to foreign language listening with earphones, and was disturbed from her concentration by a vibration of her phone.

Opening her phone, it was a message from the girl group chat, and the boy band group chat was also eating the same melon.

Jin Li flipped to the first message. The link was shared by Ji Qinglian. She couldn't help but admire her vigorous energy, being able to eat gossip seamlessly while working.

Truly a time management master!

Clicking on the link, it automatically jumped to the blog trending search.

# "PICK~ Next Station Diva" launches full team elimination battle for the first time # this tag had already landed at the top of the trending search.

[I'm going, waited so long, it's actually full team elimination?]

[When I heard that the third episode was still recorded with the teams from the second episode, I guessed whether it would be team elimination, but I always felt that Penguin couldn't have such determination. Now looking at it, it's interesting!]

[Finished, the team where the contestant I fan is has low comprehensive popularity. Will she be eliminated?]

[So, the popularity value now is no longer looking at individual popularity, but at team comprehensive popularity??]

[Oh, doing a team talent show should be done like this, how exciting!]

Jin Li looked at the updated team popularity list.

There were 12 teams in total, and the second episode would eliminate 2 teams.

Currently, among the TOP1 girl group contestants, only one was in the top ten in popularity, and the others were all in the top 20.

But calculating the comprehensive popularity of all team members, this girl group, which was not enough to compare with the top but more than enough to compare with the bottom, jumped to the first place.

Jin Li flipped down again.

Gong Jiajia's team was in the middle, eighth place. This result shouldn't be worried about being eliminated.

Suddenly, Jin Li paused and saw a contestant in the top ten in popularity in the tenth-place team.

So, would this contestant become a victim of this cruel rule sickle?

Jin Li returned to the company.

Found that even Sister Fang was eating the gossip of the talent show, and the first sentence she asked after seeing her was: "Did you see the news? Full team elimination battle."

Jin Li: "Qinglian shared it with me. I have to say, Penguin really put in a lot of effort this time!"

Sui Lingfang marveled, "It has to be ruthless. Although "PICK~ Next Station Diva" was a top-tier hit as soon as it aired, it's very different from the grand occasion when the San Yue Tian boy band debuted two years ago."

"The San Yue Tian boy band appeared in the first episode and swept the whole show with absolute advantage, and the four of them directly had a popularity gap."

"Originally, that show was going to select 8 members, but their popularity was too powerful, directly forcing the production team to change the rules, becoming only the four of them debuting."

"But look at this girl group talent show, which contestant can do what the boy band did?"

Jin Li pondered: "The boy band and the girl group exert force in different directions and cannot be compared together. But just looking at popularity, it is indeed inferior."

She asked curiously: "Didn't the production team invite foreign trainees back?"

Sui Lingfang clapped her hands: "Yes, why not? They even invited more than a dozen trainees who originally planned to debut abroad to return to China for development, but they couldn't make a splash."

"The stage art is top-notch, the lighting effect is top-notch, and the stage given is also top-notch. Although it's popular, this popularity really can't be counted as top-tier in the domestic entertainment industry."

"The San Yue Tian boy band performed on an old, broken, and small stage, and in the first episode, they could directly reach the first place in popularity, which is many times more than the girl group's popularity now."

"The variety show is already in the second episode, and everything hasn't reached expectations. I think Penguin is going to abuse the fans and rush popularity."

Jin Li didn't express any evaluation of this.

She hadn't done a show and didn't understand what the production team wanted.

She said: "I hope they do this, not to have the opposite effect."

This time coming to the company, the main thing was to discuss the endorsement of Maozhua Live Streaming room.

Sui Lingfang showed her the contract and explained the general terms.

"Maozhua Live Streaming originally wanted to sign a full-site endorsement with you, that is, a total endorsement, but I don't think it's appropriate. Your appeal is only in the [online video education] area, not in other aspects."

"If Maozhua signs you as a spokesperson and then starts singing and dancing, live streaming PK, big stomach king projects, and uses your popularity to engage in some strange projects, we will be very passive."

Jin Li definitely wanted to turn over and become first-tier.

The endorsement signed now, no matter what, has to be for two or three years.

If Jin Li dries to first-tier next year, the previous endorsement doesn't match, it will be mocked by the industry.

So Sui Lingfang was very cautious about Jin Li's endorsement contract.

"I talked to Maozhua separately and set up a public welfare ambassador for you, specifically in charge of the public welfare projects they are about to launch, and in the video education area, you can cooperate with Maozhua for some publicity."

Jin Li asked curiously: "Can they agree?"

Sui Lingfang: "They didn't agree at first, but later I don't know what happened inside them, and they agreed again. Looking at the contract they sent me later, they should be carrying out a lot of public welfare content, quite positive and upward."

Hearing this, Jin Li had no objections: "Okay, then sign it."

Continue to ask for monthly tickets. This month, I want to join the competition for the total list, and I don't know if I can get on it once hhh. The new book has a special sales list on the shelves. I hope everyone doesn't raise the text. We can still rush this list~

PS: Don't raise the text because the data during the serialization period determines whether this book can get more exposure and more publicity opportunities. Good articles are shared, let more people see this book. If you think it's written well, keep reading~ If you can give a comment, that's also excellent.
