Chapter 176: Do you want me to sell my body or offer myself? (6K, seeking monthly votes)
I originally thought the two of them would continue to fight it out in such a methodical manner.
But unexpectedly, the very next day, Li Xunfang's side launched a public opinion war first.
Today, a hot search suddenly climbed to the top of the list, and that hot search was clearly aimed at Jin Li—
#Is Jin Li's popularity really this high? #
Chenxi Entertainment detected it, and while checking, they summoned the Public Relations Department to carry out counter-PR; even Jin Li knew about this matter.
Because when Zou Da called Sui Lingfang, Jin Li happened to be right beside her, so she heard it.
Clicking into it, it was all black fans guiding the narrative with negative rumors.
【She only played a supporting role, and because that drama became popular, she got a bit of fame, but there's no reason for her to be more popular than the female lead, getting on hot searches every other day; I don't understand (shrugs)】
【What works does Jin Li even have?】
【Why is her popularity so high? Could it be that she bought an annual package here on the blog, learning from foreign celebrities?】
Among the vast sea of black fan comments, only a few were genuinely speaking up for Jin Li.
【It's normal for Jin Li to be popular. The drama "Ruyi Langjun" only made Jin Li successful; if others had Jin Li's acting skills, they could be popular too.】
【You can't even see a single variety show that Jin Li participated in!】
【Which celebrity can make it onto social news? Why don't you try burning incense and scratching a card to win 200,000 and see?】
【Hey, I'm not Jin Li's fan, but every time I go on the blog, I search for Jin Li's news. I just enjoy watching her updates, is that not allowed?】
【+1, Jin Li has never been on my follow list, but every time a hot search related to her appears, I will definitely click to watch it.】
Chenxi Entertainment's Public Relations Department urgently held a small meeting, using half an hour to discuss three PR plans.
But when it was really time to implement them, Jin Li suddenly said: "Why don't we wait a bit longer? I feel like public opinion has changed."
Sui Lingfang had been discussing and hadn't looked at her phone; hearing this, she glanced over: "What change?"
Jin Li blinked her eyes and smiled faintly: "The netizens speaking up for me seem to be a little bit numerous."
Sui Lingfang hurriedly opened her phone to look.
At this look, her eyes lit up.
Whoa, it's more than just a little bit numerous; it's practically a great victory in the counterattack!
Those black fans started arguing with normal netizens. Originally, the netizens couldn't be bothered to get involved, but they were forced into the fray by the black fans' spraying.
【I took a look at your homepage; are you Li Xunfang's fan? May I ask what representative works your idol has? The only award she won was for a supporting role, and your idol also plays supporting roles. What's the matter, a supporting role looking down on a supporting role?】
【Li Xunfang runs to variety shows every day; may I ask what representative works she has?】
【If the popularity of variety shows is all superficial, then why are celebrities flocking to them, and there are even reports that variety shows offer higher pay than acting?】
【I check in on Jin Li's homepage every day, just waiting for her monthly scratch-off lottery. Don't you dare drive away my God of Wealth~】
【Just because Jin Li livestreams her studying every day and doesn't fake things, so what if her popularity is high? Should down-to-earth celebrities lose to those who play tricks?】
Sui Lingfang let out a long sigh of relief.
"I was originally worried that your homepage would be swarmed by black fans for team-building, but I didn't expect this hot search to hang so high, and many netizens are instead speaking up for you one after another."
She said happily: "There are benefits to not accepting random announcements; netizens all think you are down-to-earth!"
Jin Li also smiled: "Believe it or not, if I don't livestream for one day, the netizens will probably turn around and scold me for not working hard."
Sui Lingfang patted Jin Li's shoulder and said with a smile: "Oh my, netizens also want to see you; they treat you like they're raising you.
Going from a poor student to a top student, how exciting is that! Now that there are still few announcements, you should livestream a bit more."
At first, Sui Lingfang really didn't want Jin Li to livestream, thinking it would take up too much time.
And livestreaming studying every day, if she wasn't cut out for studying and ended up not getting into college, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
But now, Sui Lingfang doesn't think so anymore.
Jin Li livestreaming her studying every day has instead given netizens another channel to understand her.
Most importantly, she persisted!
Netizens have a very good impression of down-to-earth celebrities, so for this hot search, there were also many netizens who frequent the livestream room speaking up for Jin Li.
Thinking of this, Sui Lingfang turned around and said eagerly: "You haven't livestreamed today, right? Did our meeting occupy your space? We'll leave now, we won't affect you."
Jin Li was caught between laughter and tears as she pulled Sui Lingfang back.
"You sit here; I'm not livestreaming here. Chen Qin specifically found me a livestream room. You work hard; I'm going to study now."
After Jin Li left, Zou Da asked: "Then are we still doing the PR?"
Sui Lingfang looked at the netizens' comments a few more times and shook her head: "Not doing it; why waste this money? The netizens have already actively helped us solve it."
She said triumphantly: "People with a good reputation, even Heaven will help them. Those who secretly buy hot searches and black fans are going to suffer a big loss!"
……
In Li Xunfang's studio.
Zhao Rui looked at the public opinion on the internet. Before it hit the hot search, the comment section was entirely occupied by black fans.
After it hit the hot search, she had originally thought about relying on the previous comments to steer the narrative, but how did the netizens become so smart? Everyone refused to be fooled and instead turned around to speak well of Jin Li.
Zhao Rui thought with a gloomy face, it must be that the narrative steering wasn't done hard enough!
She then called the black fan studio.
As soon as the call connected, the other party was actually more anxious than her: "Jin Li's fans are too numerous; the package you set before can't hold up. You must add money!"
Zhao Rui frowned tightly: "I set a 50,000-yuan package, which is enough to hype up an ordinary hot search. Why do I still have to add money?"
"That's Jin Li; her public reputation is so good. Before, it wasn't on the hot search, which is why it was hyped so smoothly. Now that it's on the hot search, others see it and will all speak well of her.
Besides, you can't provide actual negative rumors. Repeating over and over that she has no representative works, isn't that fooling people?
People aren't stupid now; they aren't easy to fool. You guys hurry up and think of new negative rumor points, such as dating, breach of contract, bad character, acting like a diva, and so on."
Zhao Rui said decisively: "Just follow the points you mentioned to smear her. We'll increase the money to 100,000."
The other party said vigilantly: "We are just movers here; we don't do the work of fabricating rumors. You must provide detailed negative information to me, otherwise we won't post it!"
Zhao Rui gritted her teeth. How come today's black fan studios have so many issues!
"Fine, we'll provide it here. You hurry up and send people to counterattack for me!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and transfer the money to me. We can only do things after we get the money."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Rui called the team to think of negative rumor copy, trying to expand from Jin Li's announcements as much as possible.
On the other hand, she called Li Xunfang to report the black fan studio's demand for a price increase.
Zhao Rui said: "Xunfang, that side demands 300,000 to be able to contain it. I think..."
Li Xunfang was running announcements and had just rested for a moment on the spot. Hearing this, she said decisively: "Transfer it to them. You must ruin Jin Li's reputation!"
Zhao Rui smiled silently at the corner of her mouth and said with a tense face: "Okay."
Li Xunfang actually didn't want to launch the hot search to spray Jin Li today.
It was the mole she inserted into Fang Fei who told her that the upper management would be holding a meeting in these few days to thoroughly decide on the spokesperson, and this time the endorsement specifications were very high; it was a Greater China region endorsement.
If the Greater China region endorsement is done well, it will be upgraded to a global spokesperson in a few years!
Because of this endorsement matter, Li Xunfang had already invested a lot of money into it, just like a gambler who had gambled until their eyes were red.
She wouldn't allow herself to retreat at a critical juncture!
That's why she was so eager to ruin Jin Li's reputation, letting Fang Fei give up on choosing Jin Li due to public pressure.
Zhao Rui received the 300,000, but only transferred 50,000 to the black fan studio, and also called to urge them again: "You guys move faster!"
At the same moment, after the black fan studio hung up the phone.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Boss, with only a 100,000 package, can we stop the current situation?"
The boss shook his head, "Of course we can't stop it. Even the top-tier 300,000 comment package can't stop it."
He flipped through the netizens' messages in the comment section, feeling that the public's favorability toward Jin Li was too high, and they were much more tolerant of her than of ordinary celebrities.
The boss said: "For a celebrity like Jin Li who has a very good public reputation, if you want to smear her, you have to specifically customize a PR plan, starting at a million. Just coming up with a temporary negative rumor, that's impossible."
He changed the subject, "But we aren't doing Jin Li's business. Her rival gives us money, so we do it according to their ideas.
If the money isn't enough, then just ask for more. It's fine as long as every comment of ours is real. Also, tell the brothers under you not to argue with netizens, lest they get angry and waste several comments."
The boss emphasized: "Every comment of ours gets paid, but replies don't!"
……
Jin Li came to the livestream room and started the livestream.
Today she was still studying physics, and her learning progress had already reached the second semester of the second year of high school.
Ever since she finished filming and finished the fashion show announcements, and resumed her daily livestreaming, netizens had been asking her why she kept watching physics and if she was going to study science.
In her spare time, Jin Li was also thinking about this question.
Her excellent memory clearly meant she was better at liberal arts, but she was personally more interested in science.
This system of technology was completely different from the theological system.
She was very interested in this system.
Plus, she investigated the employment prospects of liberal arts and science, and Jin Li felt that the range of choices for studying science would be a bit larger.
She was a celebrity, and looking at it now, her future life could be guaranteed.
Then her studying now was more to fulfill the obsession of this body wanting to go to college, and at the same time, it was to survive.
Within these two major goals, she chose the subjects she wanted to study more, which was not a problem at all.
After getting into college, she could still choose the major she liked.
So, considering everything, Jin Li indeed liked science a bit more.
If her 【Twice the Result with Half the Effort】 state hadn't continued to upgrade, Jin Li wouldn't have dared to play so big and would have only dared to choose liberal arts.
But with this state, Jin Li was also confident that she could carve out a path to survival in science.
Not enough intelligence? Diligence makes up for it!
Not enough time? Efficiency makes up for it!
Perfect!!!
【The Jin Li you follow has started a livestream~】
Netizens received this message and stole some time from their busy schedules to pour into the livestream room.
Some people had already discovered that with Jin Li's company, they actually had more passion for work, and their efficiency was higher.
They didn't know if it was the power of the soul, but seeing so many people working hard, they also got fired up!
So, slacking off at work to watch Jin Li's livestream wasn't actually slacking off, but to work better.
Now that they thought about it, they were also moved by themselves; they were simply the chosen workers!
【First!!!】
【Starting the livestream in the morning? Looks like I'm going to study for a whole day again today!】
【Family, what should I do? After Jin Li went to film "Dream Builder," her physics improved by leaps and bounds. I can no longer keep up with her learning speed!】
【Family, here's a trick for you: hurry up and increase your study intensity. Tutoring, you deserve it!】
【Um, cough cough, private tutoring for a fee is illegal...】
【I'll let my college student son tutor me; let's see who dares to say it's illegal (angry) (furious)】
【Family, Jin Li is being questioned about her popularity on the hot search. Good heavens, is it a joke that she has hundreds of millions of popularity points every time she livestreams?
Hurry up and rush it; don't act like we friends in the livestream room don't exist!】
After Jin Li started the livestream, she didn't look at the comment section, focusing on her own world.
So she didn't know that the netizens were all standing up for her.
When she finished self-studying the content of one unit, she opened the "Five-Three" and started doing the practice questions for that unit.
Many people preparing for graduate school or civil service exams would watch Jin Li do questions when they were bored.
At this look, people noticed a problem.
【Hiss—have you guys noticed? Jin Li seems to have become smarter!】
【I noticed it too. Before, when she finished self-studying the content of a unit, it was often not up to standard, but now it's completely up to the standard of an excellent student!】
【+1, I'm thinking, is it because the physics questions in this unit are relatively easy?】
【Not at all, they're quite difficult, at least harder than high school physics. The difficulty of each grade level is upgraded layer by layer.】
【I noticed it long ago; her question-solving has become fast and steady, but it's limited to physics. Looks like she's had a breakthrough.
You guys can wait until she studies math in the afternoon; the accuracy rate isn't as exaggerated as physics, but it's still a big improvement compared to before!】
The netizens didn't guess wrong. This time, Jin Li livestreamed for a whole day.
From morning until nine in the evening, Jin Li finally finished work and went home.
Coming to the company to clock in and study, she is probably the first person among all celebrities.
Returning to the apartment and opening her phone, she found that everyone in the big group was discussing her hot search today.
Seeing her pop up, Ji Qinglian initiated a video call.
She asked: "What wrong medicine did Li Xunfang take? Why did she suddenly want to mess with you? Does Fang Fei have any new moves?"
Jin Li shook her head: "I don't know. I haven't received any news from Fang Fei."
Ji Qinglian sighed: "This is very bad. You have too few people."
Sanyuetian and others also joined the call. Yan Xingdong asked: "Why don't I let Brother Guang help you ask? He knows some senior executives in Fang Fei."
Jin Li said lightly: "No need to ask; it can't affect me much."
Ji Qinglian thought of today's trending search situation and smiled: "That's true. The netizens automatically helped you roast the haters; you didn't even need your fans to step in. That's really something."
Ji Qinglian recently communicated with her agent and decided to come out to run announcements.
Currently, the arrangement of announcements is reasonable, and Zhang Ziqiang is cautiously maintaining his relationship with her, so Ji Qinglian's mood is quite pleasant.
But everyone knows that by next year, there will be no shortage of tearing each other apart.
Jin Li looked at the people who joined the video call and found that in Sanyuetian, only Gu Cheng was not there, so she asked curiously: "Where is Gu Cheng?"
In the past, when she was there, Gu Cheng would always come.
Not seeing her this time, Jin Li instead found it a bit strange.
Chen Lin shouted: "Don't mention it. Gu Cheng has become obsessed with filming that "Assassination." Recently, she has been trying to persuade the director to change the TV series into a movie, and even said she wanted to invest herself."
Jin Li's expression paused.
Before, when she was still filming "Dream Builder," she saw Gu Cheng often reading the script of "Assassination," and they even agreed to discuss it when they had time.
Unexpectedly, it still couldn't be filmed now.
Yan Xingdong said: "Don't worry about this matter. If Gu Cheng loves to toss, let her toss. Anyway, she has plenty of retirement money. I'll mention "Leisurely Slow Life"; it's going to restart broadcasting in October. Let's discuss whether it should be a weekly broadcast or changed to a monthly broadcast."
Ji Qinglian is not a regular guest of the program, so she doesn't participate in the discussion, just listening on the side.
When she first heard Yan Xingdong say that it might be changed to a monthly broadcast, her eyelids couldn't help but jump.
She thought Sanyuetian was really big-hearted. Was it because it was a group variety show produced by the company that they were so willful? Where is there a popular variety show that changes to a monthly broadcast?
Can netizens bear this grievance?
But after Yan Xingdong's careful analysis, she suddenly felt again that while a weekly broadcast is certainly good and can unite fans.
But compared to the development of each group member, a monthly broadcast is imperative.
Because Sanyuetian participating in other announcements can bring more profits than variety shows.
And having to take out two or three days every half month to record has already disrupted their announcement arrangements.
Ji Qinglian, who hadn't run announcements for a long time, knew their announcement volume and suddenly felt envious.
Jin Li listened for a while and nodded in agreement: "Actually, I also hope it can be changed to a monthly broadcast. That way, I can also free up some time. I plan to continue accepting dramas next. I'm afraid I can't participate in a weekly broadcast."
Yan Xingdong said: "I just put forward an idea. The specifics still need to be discussed with Brother Guang and Chenxi Entertainment. Anyway, this is our group variety show, and there is no capital interference, so we can be more flexible."
Ji Qinglian suddenly said leisurely: "Did Tianding Entertainment dump all its resources on you Sanyuetian?"
Yan Xingdong was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly: "No, other first-tier artists have just as many announcements!"
Ji Qinglian suddenly said very sincerely and earnestly: "You say, if I jump ship over there, is it too late?"
Jin Li coughed heavily several times.
Yan Xingdong looked at Jin Li, then at Ji Qinglian, his conscience jumping back and forth between the company and friendship. Finally, he betrayed friendship and said:
"Of course you can! What our company lacks is all-around talent like Sister Qinglian who can sing, dance, and act! Brother Guang would definitely welcome your joining very much!"
Yan Xingdong thought, after hanging up the call, he must hurry and find Gu Cheng.
That, let Gu Cheng go coax her, cough cough cough.
He really didn't mean to snatch someone.
But a big pie fell from the sky; he couldn't not take it!
……
When Gu Cheng returned to the villa, she didn't expect to hear such unstable words from the mouth of the usually steady captain.
"I snatched someone from Jin Li, wanting to pull her teammate Ji Qinglian to Tianding Entertainment. You communicate with Jin Li; if she's angry, you help her vent her anger."
Gu Cheng lazily lifted her eyelids, looked at Yan Xingdong, twitched the corner of her mouth, and was a bit speechless.
She opened the refrigerator, found a bottle of sparkling water, and drank it gulp by gulp.
Yan Xingdong saw her drinking happily, felt thirsty himself, and followed suit by picking up a bottle to drink.
Gu Cheng quenched her thirst before saying: "How do you want me to help her vent her anger? Sell my body or offer myself?"
"Pfft—"
After Yan Xingdong sprayed it out, he immediately started coughing, and it took a long while before he said: "Don't have such unhealthy thoughts. How are you so..."
Hu... hu... thirsty.
Gu Cheng rolled her eyes at him, "It's you who thinks Jin Li is too petty. Ji Qinglian is her teammate and good friend; she won't force her teammate to do things she doesn't like.
If Ji Qinglian really intends to come to Tianding Entertainment, Jin Li will definitely support it. Everyone also knows Ji Qinglian's character; she is a career-driven woman.
To tell you the truth, if she ran to that amateur troupe of Chenxi Entertainment, Chenxi Entertainment might not be able to handle her. Besides—" 【184】 Gu Cheng's eyes darkened slightly, and she muttered a few words softly. 【185】 Yan Xingdong didn't quite understand, but it seemed like she said something about, delivering to the door, and, nobody wants? 【186】 Yan Xingdong looked at Gu Cheng and suddenly felt she was a bit pitiful, patting her shoulder and saying: 【187】 "You can use this matter to deliberately talk to her. Do you want brother to teach you a few tricks? You can..." 【188】 Gu Cheng's phone rang, interrupting his words, "You better manage yourself first; you can't even sort out your own affairs." 【189】 She lowered her head to look at her phone, the corners of her eyes lifting slightly, looking a bit happy, and turned to leave. 【190】 Yan Xingdong smacked his lips and said somewhat unsatisfied: "We can communicate and exchange with each other. Anyway, we are all single dogs; no one is more experienced than anyone else!" 【191】 Gu Cheng waved her hand and said lazily: "Not chatting anymore, I'm going to offer myself." 【192】 Yan Xingdong sprayed out another mouthful. 【193】 This child, can you be a bit more reserved!!! 【194】 Gu Cheng returned to the bedroom, first tidied up her appearance, and then made a video call to Jin Li. 【195】 Jin Li answered quickly. 【196】 Gu Cheng found that she was wearing a pure white dress with lace trim, and could only see the clothes above her neck. 【197】 She immediately looked away, "Are you going to sleep?" 【198】 Jin Li: "Yeah, just preparing to rest. I happened to think of your script before sleeping and wanted to ask about your plans." 【199】 Gu Cheng said apologetically: "Then let's talk tomorrow. You rest first." 【200】 Jin Li was just about to say okay when she suddenly discovered that Gu Cheng didn't dare to look at her, and her ears were especially red. 【201】 She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and suddenly looked down at herself. 【202】 Although she was wearing pajamas, she was wearing what she should be wearing... 【203】 A sense of mischief suddenly surged in Jin Li's heart, and she asked: "Why don't you dare to look at me?" 【204】 Gu Cheng shook her head slightly, "No." 【205】 It was just that her gaze still hadn't shifted over. 【206】 Jin Li smiled and said: "Alright, I wish you a good dream tonight." 【207】 She hummed softly and hung up the phone. 【208】 Gu Cheng reacted belatedly. 【209】 Wait, she was teased, right??? 【210】 She touched her face, feeling it was a bit hot, but also very happy, the corners of her mouth rising, giggling foolishly. ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
Gu Cheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he muttered a few words under his breath.
Yan Xingdong didn't quite catch it, but it seemed to be something about... delivered to the door, and... nobody wants it?
Yan Xingdong glanced at Gu Cheng, suddenly feeling he was a bit pitiful, and patted him on the shoulder, saying:
"You can use this incident to intentionally strike up a conversation with her. Do you want your brother to teach you a few tricks? You could..."
Gu Cheng's phone rang, interrupting him. "You'd better take care of yourself first; you can't even sort out your own affairs."
He lowered his head to look at his phone, the corners of his eyes lifting slightly, looking quite happy, and turned to leave.
Yan Xingdong smacked his lips, feeling unsatisfied, and said: "We could communicate and exchange ideas. Anyway, we're all single dogs; no one has more experience than anyone else!"
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said lazily: "No more chatting, I'm off to sacrifice myself."
Yan Xingdong spat out another mouthful.
This kid, can't you be a little more reserved!!!
Gu Cheng returned to his bedroom, first tidied up his appearance, and then made a video call to Jin Li.
Jin Li answered quickly.
Gu Cheng discovered she was wearing a pure white top with lace trim; he could only see the clothing from the neck up.
He immediately averted his gaze. "Are you going to sleep?"
Jin Li: "Mm, I was just getting ready to rest. I happened to think of your script before sleeping and wanted to ask about your plans."
Gu Cheng said apologetically: "Let's talk tomorrow then, you rest first."
Jin Li was just about to say okay when she suddenly noticed that Gu Cheng didn't dare look at her, and his ears were especially red.
She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and suddenly looked down at herself.
Although she was wearing pajamas, she was still dressed properly...
A sense of mischief suddenly welled up in Jin Li's heart, and she asked: "Why don't you dare look at me?"
Gu Cheng shook his head gently. "Nothing."
But his gaze still didn't shift over.
Jin Li smiled cheekily and said: "Alright then, I wish you sweet dreams tonight."
She hummed softly and hung up the phone.
Gu Cheng realized it only after the fact.
Wait, was he being teased???
He touched his face, feeling it was a bit hot, but he was also very happy, the corners of his mouth lifting as he giggled foolishly.
