Chapter 18: A World Where Everyone Suffers Together Has Been Achieved

What Seeing Jin Li didn't know was that the people coming to her livestream room to watch her study now were no longer just fans; some were just passersby.

Because Seeing Jin Li would go to study as soon as she started the livestream and didn't interact much with fans, her livestream room was tagged with labels like "Self-Study Room," "Study," and "Struggle."

And this, coincidentally, attracted a batch of college entrance exam, postgraduate entrance exam, and civil service exam dogs.

They entered Seeing Jin Li's self-study room without even knowing that Seeing Jin Li was a celebrity.

Mainly because the comment section was very quiet. After a few days of novelty, Seeing Jin Li's fans didn't talk much; they either silently accompanied her or just stopped watching.

A blank comment section, a quiet streamer grinding through "Five-Three" without saying a word for an hour—what is this called?

This is called misery loves company!!!

And so, the dogs posted a comment to check in before studying, and the style of Seeing Jin Li's livestream room changed to this—

【honest adj. honest; upright, brave adj. brave, loyal adj. loyal; faithful...】

【"Air power bank" is a device that realizes energy storage through compressed air. It can store energy during low electricity usage and release energy during peak usage. In a certain working process of an "air power bank," the p-T image of a certain mass of ideal gas is shown in the figure. The corresponding p-V image of this process could be...】

【Which of the following animals in the idioms is not a poikilothermic animal—A. Cup bow snake shadow, B. Rush like ducks, C. Frog at the bottom of a well, D. Like a fish in water】

Netizens watching the fun entered Seeing Jin Li's livestream room excitedly, then suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Jin Li's fans entered the livestream room again and blinked several times.

Their first reaction was: Did I enter a celebrity livestream room? / Did I enter the wrong livestream room?

It must be said that no matter where it is, in the real world or on the internet, study dogs can always make people feel sad and tearful upon hearing them.

And the blow caused is absolutely a double blow from body to heart.

The melon-eating netizens and fans looked at the dense study check-in comments, and only one thought remained in their minds:

How are they, still, rolling???

A world where rolling dogs and non-rolling people suffer together has been achieved.

Seeing Jin Li had been busy studying these past few days, and things were calm, but the attention on the internet regarding "PICK~ Next Stop Diva" had never decreased.

The first episode had finished recording and entered the editing phase.

First, there was a leak from a passerby that a bombshell would appear at the opening of this episode: their former senior would return to this stage.

This made many netizens guess that the top boy band "March Sky" would be summoned back to strongly support the new program.

The fans of 【March Sky】 were all looking forward to their stage, every one of them hungry for it, spontaneously going to the blog to create heat for the variety show.

Later, the various mentors were not to be outdone, scrambling to leak fierce news about the stage.

Such as "First time using electronic music style, human voice comparable to electronic music," "What kind of treasure girl is this, good at both singing and dancing," "Beautiful dance flips the crowd, restoring the two people's god-like synchronization"... one after another dominated the trending headlines.

By comparison, Seeing Jin Li, who was thrown out by the program at the beginning to attract attention, seemed somewhat obscure among this pile of bombardment trending topics.

Seeing Jin Li wasn't anxious about this at all, but Sui Lingfang was a bit anxious.

On the third day after the program recording ended, she sought out Seeing Jin Li and asked with a serious expression: "Should we also buy a trending topic to follow along?"

Seeing Jin Li asked back: "Is this your idea?"

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Not just my idea, it's also the company's idea."

Seeing Jin Li remembered the split she signed with the company. Because the split ratio reached an unprecedented 20/80, she had to pay 80% of the public relations fees.

If they were to buy a trending topic, she would be paying the bulk of it.

Money wasn't the issue; if she didn't have money, the company would help her cover it, but the problem now was—

Is a trending topic actually worth buying?

This question is one that accompanies a celebrity throughout their entire career.

Some celebrities never get popular, feeling that they have no heat and are unrecognized talents.

Some celebrities buy trending topics every day and play the lead in every production, but they just can't get popular.

Some buy a little, push a little, and become an overnight sensation.

Looking at the three situations, most are actually the first and second types.

Seeing Jin Li pondered for a moment and shook her head: "Don't buy."

She said frankly: "Fang Jie, I don't think my stage is beautiful enough to the point of buying a trending topic. Those mentors dare to buy because they have the confidence, and I don't have that confidence."

Sui Lingfang was speechless.

She generally doesn't like celebrities being too naive, but for Seeing Jin Li, sometimes she hopes she can be a little naive.

Sui Lingfang said temptingly: "Really don't buy? The company will help you pay the PR fee; you don't have to pay."

Seeing Jin Li smiled sweetly, decisively and clearly: "Don't buy."

Sui Lingfang:...

Two more days passed. "PICK~ Next Stop Diva," originally scheduled to air on Sunday, suddenly dropped on Saturday, catching many platforms off guard.

Besides Penguin TV airing this talent show, Kiwi TV, Blue Sky TV, and Cool Cool TV all launched other talent variety shows to target this one.

The goal was to get a piece of the pie, snipe its upward momentum, and fiercely divide the traffic!

Industry insiders discussing Penguin TV's sudden airing all felt it was a wise move, a trick of "crossing the sea under the cover of heaven," locking the traffic into their arms in advance.

They discussed their things, but for one industry insider, things were not going well at all.

Inside Chenxi Entertainment.

Sui Lingfang called Lian Baozhi's manager again and asked her: "The first episode has already aired today; do you still not know the rehearsal notice for the second episode?"

Her manager played dumb: "I don't know. Everything waits for the staff's notice; they haven't said anything over there."

Sui Lingfang was laughed at by anger: "Luo Meimei, you'd better explain clearly to me. This call is being recorded from start to finish. Unless the program team doesn't want Seeing Jin Li, otherwise I will expose all our call records and see who loses more face!"

"Don't be ungrateful. Tell me the rehearsal date immediately. Don't play that set your artist is used to playing on me; these kinds of conspiracies are things I've already played with and discarded!"

"How much energy do you think your artist has? If you lie about the rehearsal date and ultimately affect the stage effect, delaying Penguin TV from making money, do you think Penguin TV will continue to cooperate with you?"

"It's just a superficial small A-lister. Your artist's A-list status isn't even stable yet, and you want to play tricks on me? Let's wait and see who is begging whom!"

Sui Lingfang dropped the words, hung up the phone, and waited calmly.

One, two, three, four...

In less than five seconds, the phone rang again; it was Lian Baozhi's manager calling back.

In this call, she told them the rehearsal time in a very polite manner.

When Sui Lingfang heard it was today, her eyes went black. ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
