Launch the horizontal screen first, and we can also help it advertise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them are first-line stars who invested in *Return to Youth*, so naturally, they want to promote it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, this traffic is free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have this status and don't mind being sponged off by the works they invested in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don't promote it, what if it’s lacking in exposure, leading to poor results? That would be a huge loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a wall between stars and internet celebrities, and another wall between internet celebrities and streamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although good internet celebrities and streamers now earn money not much less than second-line stars, there is still a big gap between internet celebrities\u002Fstreamers and first-line stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gap lies in popularity and influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internet celebrities and streamers focus on that specific group of people, while stars are different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stars face the general public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If two first-line stars promote a vertical screen short drama, the agency might not allow it, and fans might feel they are lowering their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it’s promoting a high-quality horizontal screen short drama, that’s fine; many famous directors also promote them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two finished talking about this and started caring about each other’s love lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiguan Mingzhu thought of the gossip news she saw recently and couldn't help but ask: \"Are you sure, you’ve chosen Gu Cheng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li nodded, \"Mm, he is very good to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiguan Mingzhu sighed: \"I didn't expect that among us, you would be the first to settle a romantic relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li said with a smile: \"Maybe it’s because I’m often sick, so I cherish everything in front of me more and cherish the people who appear by my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once my heart is clear, I won't refuse, because my future has no tomorrow, so I tend to go crazy when I meet someone I like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, I am happy and happy today, and that is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiguan Mingzhu said enviously: \"I don't have such an open-minded mentality as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated and said: \"Regarding the beginning of a relationship, I am always very hesitant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afraid of being hurt, afraid that the result won't be as good as I think, afraid that various changes will occur in the future, afraid that even the most loyal feelings will be worn away over time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I too cowardly?\" Qiguan Mingzhu asked unconfidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li shook her head; this kind of performance is the performance of a normal relationship, because of the fear of losing, so one will be anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingzhu having this mentality proves that she is already in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she is very afraid of the beginning of a relationship, she has already fallen into it unknowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li said: \"Don't be afraid of the future, don't be afraid of the beginning; every experience is a scenic line in our lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some people cannot accompany you for a long time, but the experience they bring you can become a part of your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being too afraid of losing and therefore unwilling to start proves that you value this relationship very much and don't want to lose it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But have you thought about it? If you always choose not to possess, then this relationship is destined to end without a result.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possessing might also have no result, but not choosing to start means you don't even have the qualification to give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li hugged Qiguan Mingzhu and said softly: \"I hope we can both be happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiguan Mingzhu’s eyes flashed, and a glimmer of crystal flashed in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she thought of a lot, with fear and anxiety about the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she discovered that if she were asked to choose to give up the upcoming relationship now, she would actually feel regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret that it never started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiguan Mingzhu took a deep breath, \"You are right, without a beginning, where would there be an end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The future may not necessarily be better than the present, but if it was never possessed, then there is destined to be no future for the two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li thought for a while and said: \"And maybe the person you chose has feelings in their heart that are even firmer than yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since being admitted to university, the divine power in her body has been sufficient, and the rate of loss has not been as fast as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also means that the ability attached to her can last longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the skill of physiognomy has always been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Qiguan Mingzhu’s physiognomy seriously and found that this was her best \"red phoenix heart movement\" (romantic encounter) in the next 5 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she doesn't grasp this opportunity, then her future marriage path will be bumpy, or even no marriage, single for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the physiognomy, the object of this romantic encounter is her \"right fate,\" and they can be together for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also thought of the scene a few days ago when chatting with Gu Cheng, Chen Lin specially grabbed the phone to ask about her recent situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, she had also seen Chen Lin’s physiognomy, which was consistent with Qiguan Mingzhu’s current physiognomy; both would have a romantic encounter recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, the object of his heart’s movement is also his \"right fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two did not appear in front of her at the same time, so she couldn't see the marriage line connecting the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the similar physiognomy, one can also see a thing or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, it’s these two people, no doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People often say \"husband and wife physiognomy\" because once they become husband and wife, the two people’s fate and feng shui overlap, so many details tend to be consistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiguan Mingzhu and Chen Lin do look like a couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jin Li actually doesn't care whether she can facilitate the two people’s marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hopes more that when Mingzhu is old, looking back on the past, she won't feel regret because she never started this relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future self and the past self, including the childhood self, have different ideas at every stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the elderly, the tolerance is higher, and the happiness index will also be higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those embarrassing things that were once thought to be shameful, when recalled, are instead a precious memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is feared is not the embarrassing things, but looking back at the past and finding that one’s life was like a pool of stagnant water, except for work, there was only work, without even a deep impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning the past and having nothing to say, that is the most regrettable thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li rarely acted as a relationship master, and when sleeping at night, she was still thinking that if Pearl wanted to talk to her tomorrow, she could talk about her own experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the development of her relationship with Gu Cheng was a matter of course, without any melodramatic things as a catalyst, silently guarding and accompanying each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't expect that the next day, Pearl would get up early and leave the flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She left in a hurry; at that time, Jin Li was out running, and when she came back, she only saw the note Pearl left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Have something to deal with, leaving first, will gather again next New Year】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li thought to herself, Pearl is probably busy dealing with relationship problems; I don't know if I can hear other news next New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally thought she could spend two days leisurely, but not long after Pearl left, Xi Mengze also moved into her flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike Pearl, Xi Mengze came here for a vacation, and she would stay until after the New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But like Pearl, Xi Mengze also has relationship problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't said anything yet, but as soon as Jin Li saw her physiognomy, she couldn't help but be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brows and eyes contain evil, but cheeks are like spring breeze, corners of the mouth carry a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good fellow, this is a peach blossom curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who did she provoke to form such a heavy evil spirit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li asked: \"What wind blew you, this busy person, over here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze said with a grin: \"Can’t I just come over to find you to play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li: \"Possible, but definitely not now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The end of the year is our busiest time. As the lead singer of Dawn Entertainment, the company must have connected you to a bunch of evening party performances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not busy making money at the end of the year, but instead came to my side; you must be seeking something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze’s mouth twitched, and her face collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing can be hidden from you. Alright, I came here to take refuge, to avoid a star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li asked curiously: \"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze said a name, and Jin Li couldn't help but be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had an impression of this male star because he had won the Best Actor award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has deep seniority in the circle, but his age is not much older than theirs, at most 5 years difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he debuted as a child star, he has deep seniority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and Huo Sichen... one is a singer and one is an actor, and you have never acted in a play, how did you meet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze said helplessly: \"A few months ago, I went to the TV station to record a program, and he happened to be recording a program too. Our program halls were next door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the recording times were about the same, the hotel we stayed in was also the same, so we always met when going out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We met many times, so he added my WeChat and asked me out to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought that those who go to eat are stars in the industry, including actors and singers, and it was a public dinner, so I agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, my performance was quite mediocre; I didn't communicate with people very actively, just eating quietly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning this, Xi Mengze frowned, her expression puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really didn't understand what Huo Sichen saw in her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her appearance is not the most beautiful in the circle, only her singing voice is passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her personality is not lively, instead a bit quiet, very lazy, and she doesn't move if she doesn't have to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She likes to play, travel everywhere, and doesn't like to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Huo Sichen is different; he is a recognized workaholic in the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her personality is the opposite of his; logically, they shouldn't be able to get together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that dinner, he has frequently asked me out to eat. At first, it was a gathering with many people, but later it became eating alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I didn't know it was just the two of us eating alone, and after I went, I found out and immediately left with an excuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since then, he still frequently asks me to eat, and I am a bit annoyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze’s voice is nice, even if it’s a complaining tone, it sounds a bit like coquetry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been finding excuses to refuse. As an adult, I have refused to this extent; they should understand what they should understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he just doesn't understand and keeps chasing me. Whatever announcement I participate in, he follows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My announcements are clearly not public, but he always has a way to get my schedule. I suspect someone in the circle is leaking information to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze was very distressed, \"Just this time I participated in the New Year’s Eve party, he also chased after me, and the program was even next to mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many people here know he is chasing me and tease me when they see me, asking how we are progressing. What progress? I wish I could stay far away from him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li: \"So you are avoiding him, simply not even participating in the Spring Festival Gala, and taking an early vacation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze nodded, \"Yes, yes, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li shook her head: \"This is not a long-term solution. You can't never participate in announcements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your announcements are already very few. Although his announcements are more than yours, his influence is great, and the announcement parties are willing to give him face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as he knows your announcement schedule, it is very easy to move out of the announcement and participate with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze said speechlessly: \"Then what can I do? I’ve escaped to the point where I don't want to work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li looked at her physiognomy; this peach blossom curse is not just a peach blossom curse brought by one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to form an evil spirit means it is involved with several people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked, \"There’s more than one person pursuing you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze was shocked, \"You even know this? How did you figure it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li said leisurely, \"The news of the Film Emperor Huo pursuing you in the circle is spreading like wildfire; isn't it normal for me to know some news about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze thought that was true, and her shoulders slumped again, \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand and swore to the heavens, \"I really didn't flirt with those people, but I don't know what's going on; they just set their sights on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides this persistent Huo Sichen, there are several other celebrities who confessed on WeChat that they like me; I don't even know what's going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes I really want to find a master to calculate if my romantic luck has been particularly strong these past few years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li thought to herself, it’s more than just strong; it’s so strong that it could form malevolent energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not handled well, she might end up a celebrity who collapses due to scandals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then have you thought of a solution?\" Jin Li asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze shook her head, looking at her expectantly, \"I just don't know what to do, that's why I wanted to ask you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li pondered, \"Does Sister Fang know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She knows, but not the full picture. She only knows Huo Sichen is pursuing me; she doesn't know other celebrities are pursuing me too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li spoke slowly, \"I do have a method, but this method is rather unconventional. Once used, it will also affect your reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Mengze's eyes lit up, \"Tell me quickly, what is the method?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li said meaningfully, \"Since there are so many flies, why not find a legitimate boyfriend to block them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have a 'main palace' partner, those celebrities will have some reservations; they don't want to be scolded by netizens for wanting to be a 'male mistress'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?? The Film Emperor has appeared, the original plot flashes by. Does everyone remember? Jin Li is a transmigrator, and Xi Mengze is the true female lead in the book.\u003C\u002Fp>",2770,"2026-06-15T03:50:02.582Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9ef884ea9129a27c59fbaea6c2d78d7b57bac500f42e87d73a2c78a3d295f02f","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-724","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-722",794,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-famous-by-burning-incense-cover.jpg"]
