Chapter 124: He Yixuan

~14 min read 2,714 words

After Gong Jiajia and Jin Li left.

Sui Lingfang took He Yixuan to attend the audition.

In the car, He Yixuan hesitated for a moment and asked a question:

"Sister Fang, since Sister Jin Li has such a good relationship with March Sky, aren't you afraid she'll be poached by Tianding instead?"

Sui Lingfang smiled and said decisively, "No need to worry about that. Jin Li isn't that kind of person."

She paused, "Besides, Tianding Entertainment couldn't possibly offer a higher price than Chenxi. In the entire industry, it's impossible."

When Chenxi Entertainment poached Jin Li, the timing was quite special.

At that time, President Xiao was putting great effort into the entertainment sector and needed a pillar to make Chenxi Entertainment's name known.

Jin Li's data happened to be suitable, so they chose her, and the contract signed was no different from charity.

Not to mention that for the three years after signing Jin Li, because of her health, Chenxi Entertainment had always been supporting her.

With Jin Li's character of repaying kindness.

No matter how big the chips Tianding Entertainment offered, as long as she liked staying at Chenxi Entertainment, she would absolutely not run away.

Sui Lingfang had that much confidence.

Sui Lingfang regained her focus, "Let's not talk about Jin Li anymore. Let's talk about you."

"Are you confident about this audition? Do you want me to rehearse with you?"

He Yixuan took a deep breath and said nervously, "I've rehearsed with the teacher several times, and the teacher said my acting is fine."

"As long as I'm not so nervous and perform normally, there won't be any mistakes."

"By the way, Sister Fang, do you know how Sister Jin Li usually acts? If possible, I want to learn from her."

He Yixuan had also gathered the courage to ask this question.

In the past, her personality was mild, and she didn't dare to express her thoughts in front of Sister Fang.

But Gong Jiajia was completely different from her; the two had two different personalities.

Gong Jiajia's personality was more direct and more fiery.

He Yixuan took it all in and was very envious.

She also wanted to learn to be more direct, just like Gong Jiajia.

Sui Lingfang was a bit surprised to hear this and looked up to size her up.

In the past, He Yixuan would absolutely not ask her about these things; she would only think about what she had to do to do better.

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and said, "I'd love to help, but when it comes to acting, Jin Li relies more on talent."

"Xi Sister Meng Ze also took on a drama and had a meeting with Jin Li and me, and she also asked about Jin Li's acting skills. Jin Li's answer at the time was:"

"She didn't do any special practice. Once she got the script, she felt she should act it that way, so she acted it that way."

"I didn't expect the performance effect to be quite good, and both the director and screenwriter were praising her."

He Yixuan understood and said softly, "So Sister Jin Li is a talented actor. Then there's indeed nothing to learn. She's really amazing."

She lowered her head, hiding the complex thoughts in her eyes.

He Yixuan couldn't tell if this was admiration or jealousy, or a sense of powerlessness that she would never be able to surpass.

On the other side.

Jin Li and Gong Jiajia went to Tianding Entertainment.

Someone was already waiting on the first floor.

It was an agent who hadn't been working for long, taking the two of them to March Sky's small recording studio.

This agent was very talkative.

But mainly talking to Gong Jiajia, not daring to strike up a conversation with Jin Li.

Finally, Gong Jiajia and this agent exchanged business cards.

After the agent left, Jin Li said thoughtfully:

"I was wondering why Sister Fang specifically instructed me to keep an eye on you before we came, fearing you'd be poached by Tianding Entertainment."

"Looking at it now, Sister Fang's worry is very reasonable. You are unexpectedly more popular than me."

Gong Jiajia held her forehead, feeling that her previous behavior seemed a bit rash.

She also felt very nervous after arriving at Tianding Entertainment.

Seeing someone chatting with her, she took the initiative to chat with them to ease her nervousness.

Gong Jiajia hurriedly handed the business card to Jin Li and asked remedially, "Then, should I hand it over?"

Jin Li shook her head, "No need, keep it. Just consider it expanding your own network."

Seeing that Gong Jiajia was still very nervous, Jin Li was afraid she would overthink it, so she patted her shoulder and said freely, "Don't take it too seriously. I'm not as worried as Sister Fang."

"Whether an entertainment company is good or bad, artists have eyes to see."

"Some companies have good resources, but once they sign an artist, they only give them routine resources. If they can be promoted, they promote them; if not, they leave them be."

"And some companies, although their resources aren't great, will go all out for every artist."

"What kind of company to choose, artists also need to understand comprehensively and cautiously."

"You just signed with Chenxi, I'm not worried you'll break the contract and leave."

"On the contrary, I encourage you to look around more and understand the current state of the industry. Decide in ten years whether to continue."

Gong Jiajia asked suspiciously, "Sister Jin Li, what do you mean by deciding whether to continue in ten years?"

The contract she signed with Chenxi Entertainment was for ten years.

Could it be that in ten years, she would most likely not renew her contract, or even leave the entertainment industry?

For Gong Jiajia, who had just made up her mind to venture into the entertainment industry, "giving up the entertainment industry" was simply impossible.

Jin Li looked at Gong Jiajia carefully, sizing up her eyebrows and eyes.

She replied, "It's nothing, I was just saying it casually."

"The entertainment industry isn't as easy to mix in as you think. Perhaps in ten years, you'll have different thoughts."

"At that time, the connections accumulated in these young years will be able to bring you great help. Whether you continue or change careers, it will be useful."

Gong Jiajia nodded ignorantly.

She was just here to practice singing and record a song to see; she didn't want to discuss such future issues with Sister Jin Li.

But Jin Li was different.

Jin Li looked at Gong Jiajia again.

While she was sizing up Gong Jiajia, she also observed her physiognomy.

Who would have thought that this little girl in front of her, who looked like she was striving to chase her dreams, would experience a major change in her fortune in ten years and engage in work completely different from now.

One can only say that things are unpredictable.

A flash of thought crossed Jin Li's eyes, and she shook her head lightly.

However, it was still too far away from Gong Jiajia's ten-year fortune, and perhaps something might change along the way, which is hard to say.

It can be left for future observation!

Jin Li thought to herself: Later, when I have time, perhaps I can write a book based on Gong Jiajia—

"Human Observation Diary".

In the small recording studio.

Jin Li gathered all her thoughts and sang the Pink Girls' group song "Little Star Wish" with Gong Jiajia.

This song was very cheerful and lively, fitting the girls' fantasies about a beautiful life, with a catchy melody and lyrics that were easy to sing.

When it was released three years ago, it instantly became a street song in every major street.

You could hear it wherever you went, and everyone, young and old, could hum a few lines.

It was also at that time that netizens labeled "Little Star Wish" as a "spit-take song" (catchy but shallow).

Put to the present, the reputation of "spit-take songs" was mixed.

Although the content might not necessarily be good, the popularity was definitely high.

Not to mention that three years ago, people's disdain for "spit-take songs" was greater than their praise.

So when "Little Star Wish" was released, it even damaged the reputation of the Pink Girls a bit.

But looking at it now.

The previous "spit-take song" had instead become the youth of a generation.

The internet is very developed now, and people have to come into contact with a lot of information every day. Communication is no longer closed off, and "spit-take songs" have become increasingly hard to find.

Many singers have the goal of singing a few "spit-take songs" in their lifetime.

Jin Li and Gong Jiajia practiced for three hours.

Here at March Sky.

They had just finished recording their commitment and boarded the nanny van.

Zhang Guang was also in the car, mentioning the results of their last commitment.

He said happily, "The luxury brand 【Rain Bell】 is satisfied with your attitude, dress, and level of care during your last commitment."

"After preliminary contact, the company has confirmed that 【Rain Bell】 is interested in choosing you as their spokesperson."

"So young men, starting today, you can focus your efforts on 【Rain Bell】!"

Chen Lin said "Ah," and grabbed his hair with a headache.

He remembered the devilish period of chasing endorsements in the past.

During that period, they not only had to run normal commitments but also many unconventional ones.

These unconventional commitments were all aimed at brand endorsements.

If effort could yield results, that would be fine.

At that time, they ran day and night, aiming for ten brands, but in the end, they only secured endorsements for three.

Even so, Brother Guang still said their record was brilliant.

There are many artists in the industry who try hard but can only secure one, and many come away empty-handed.

Yan Xingdong remembered those busy days in the past and also asked with a headache, "What is the intensity of the endorsement sprint? Do we have to go all out to secure this endorsement?"

Zhang Guang said without hesitation, "Of course. Next month is the Q3 quarter. If you can secure the 【Rain Bell】 endorsement at the beginning of Q3,"

"Not only can you max out the Q3 KPI, but at the same time, I can guarantee you will have relatively free rest time."

"That's a full three months. Don't you want to have a good rest?"

Luo Yi lowered his eyes and sighed, complaining for once.

"Which company makes artists pull KPIs? And whose company's artist KPI is measured by top luxury endorsements?"

"I don't know if Tianding thinks too highly of March Sky, or if they don't treat March Sky as people at all."

He had no opinion on running regular commitments.

But unconventional commitments not only disrupt the artist's schedule but also put the artist in a relatively tense state.

Because the artist doesn't know if there will be unconventional commitments to run during their rare rest time.

At the same time, unconventional commitments have "urgency."

It doesn't necessarily find you when you are resting; it is also very likely to be inserted into regular commitments.

Last year.

For brand endorsements, the unconventional commitments March Sky ran were three times the regular ones!

Although they received a generous reward after running the commitments, and their wallets were forced to bulge three times.

But that was the struggle period.

They have now reached a stable period; endorsements are very stable, commitments are very stable, and their state is mature and stable.

If many unconventional commitments are inserted, it will disrupt their stable state.

Zhang Guang saw that they were all discouraged, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then I'll call 【Rain Bell】 and say you have no intention of being their spokesperson."

Yan Xingdong, "But that's 【Rain Bell】!"

Luo Yi, "A top luxury brand that specializes in Chinese men's Hanfu, and also has widespread influence abroad. Once you become their spokesperson, even if it's just for the Greater China region, the influence can radiate globally."

Chen Lin, "The most critical thing is, the clothes designed by 【Rain Bell】 are damn good-looking. I've been eyeing their 'Noble Son' series for a long time, but I've never been able to borrow them."

Speaking of this, Chen Lin couldn't help but turn to look at Gu Cheng, who had been silent.

"Gu Cheng, don't you have an opinion?"

Gu Cheng was looking at his phone and said nonchalantly, "I have no opinion, as long as there is time to study."

He was chatting with Jin Li.

Gu Cheng: 【Finished the commitment, have you finished practicing?】

Jin Li: 【Finished, the Tianding staff gave me a card so I can eat at the cafeteria. I plan to take Gong Jiajia with me.】

Gu Cheng: 【I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat when I get back to the company.】

Jin Li: 【Aren't you all going to have a group meal?】

Gu Cheng: 【No, no time for that. Eating at the company is more comfortable.】

After Gu Cheng sent this message, he said to Zhang Guang, "Brother Guang, send me back to the company first. I won't go to the group meal. Jin Li is waiting for me at the company."

"I'll eat while studying with her later. If there's anything, come to the company to find me."

Gu Cheng's words left Zhang Guang speechless.

He had heard Chen Lin mention before that Gu Cheng had gone crazy studying.

Looking at it now.

No way, he really went crazy?

Is it that he hasn't run enough commitments, he isn't tired enough, or is studying a kind of deep relaxation for a top student?

Zhang Guang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Wait, you said Jin Li is there too?"

Gu Cheng, "Yes, she asked me this afternoon if she could borrow Tianding Entertainment's big studio for recording. I said I couldn't borrow it, but I could give her March Sky's exclusive small studio."

"After she finished filming the public service charity short film this afternoon, she took Gong Jiajia, an artist from the same company, and has been recording in the small studio."

Zhang Guang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll send you back to the company first."

Chen Lin just wanted to say something, but suddenly his mouth was covered by Luo Yi and Yan Xingdong together.

Ten minutes later.

The car drove to the company gate, and Gu Cheng got off first.

Chen Lin wanted to follow, but was pressed back by Luo Yi and Yan Xingdong together, while continuing to cover his mouth.

Brother Guang watched their actions without a word.

He also got off the car, let the assistant drive, and sent the others to the group meal.

The assistant was one of their own.

Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi finally let go. Chen Lin regained his freedom and said speechlessly, "Why do you always stop me? I want to go to the company too!"

Yan Xingdong asked, "What are you going to the company for?"

Chen Lin, "To play!"

Luo Yi, "What's fun there? Are you going to find Sister Jin Li to play?"

Chen Lin nodded, "Yes, I'm going to find Sister Jin Li to ask about Sister Pearl. Is that not okay?"

Yan Xingdong, "Tsk, no sense."

Luo Yi, "Heh, destined to be alone."

Chen Lin was confused, "What on earth are you talking about?"

Yan Xingdong shook his head, "Nothing, just felt that it would be too boring for Luo Yi and me to go to the group meal, and wanted you to come along."

Chen Lin shivered, "Why did you suddenly become so mushy? Can you be normal?"

"Besides, we can also eat at the company cafeteria; we don't have to go outside."

Luo Yi asked back, "What's the matter? You also want to study with Gu Cheng and Sister Jin Li?"

Chen Lin was silent for a while, then suddenly thought.

These two people, when they study, are both people who don't recognize their own kin.

He coughed and said with drifting eyes, "Forget it, eating outside is also quite good." ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
