Chapter 337

This was also the first time Jin Li had heard this news.

At the time, she had heard from March Sky that Yu Guan Mingzhu's company was very dissatisfied with the appearance fee and certain terms of the contract, and wanted to increase the fee.

So March Sky came to her first, asking her to find out what Yu Guan Mingzhu's thoughts were on the matter.

After Jin Li asked Pearl, Pearl was extremely angry, saying that she hadn't received any news from the company at all!

How she negotiated with the company afterward, Jin Li didn't know; she only knew that Pearl continued to record 'Leisurely Slow Life.'

After all, this show was a breakout variety hit, having carved out a path to survival among various revived old-school variety shows. Now that they were continuing to record the second season, everyone hoped for the original cast without any changes.

Hearing Sui Lingfang say this now, it was easy to imagine that Pearl was likely able to settle this matter only by promising the company many unequal conditions.

Sui Lingfang concluded: "So, Century Entertainment's core interest matrix based on 'Yu Guan Mingzhu' clearly isn't working; they should have changed direction long ago!"

She said bluntly: "Jin Li, I'm speaking the truth, just listen to it casually and don't take it to heart.

If I were a senior executive at Century Entertainment, I would do everything possible to use Yu Guan Mingzhu's popularity as a springboard to quickly support the artists the company has cultivated.

This artist certainly wouldn't reach Yu Guan Mingzhu's peak, but as long as they could become a first-rate star, that would be a success, and there would be no need to tie all interests to Yu Guan Mingzhu.

Otherwise, once the artist encounters a scandal or their popularity drops too quickly, the company will face a major crisis."

Jin Li thought for a moment and spoke specifically about what she had seen and heard today.

She didn't mention what kind of mood Pearl was in, only that her company's opinions were very inconsistent with her own.

"I feel like we don't have to wait for those bad things to happen; just looking at the present, her company is likely already facing a crisis.

They always place their interests on Pearl, expecting her alone to support everyone in the company, treating her like a marionette... Given Pearl's temper, it will explode very soon."

Jin Li said honestly: "To be honest, the fact that Pearl has been able to endure until now is already a sign that her temper has improved. Back when she was still in the group, she wouldn't have endured it at all; as soon as something went against her wishes, she would immediately lash out."

Sui Lingfang's expression shifted slightly, and she tentatively asked: "Why did you suddenly ask about her company's affairs? Could it be..."

Jin Li nodded lightly and said calmly: "If you still want to invite her to join the company, you can start taking action now."

Sui Lingfang's eyes changed, and the aura about her shifted abruptly, possessing a sense of decisive ruthlessness.

She guaranteed to Jin Li: "Don't worry, if Pearl comes to Dawn Entertainment, we will definitely give her a reasonable career planning scheme. No matter what, it will definitely be better than staying at Century Entertainment. We highly respect the wishes of every artist."

Not knowing what she thought of, she quickly added: "What I just said was based on Century Entertainment's standpoint and didn't consider things from the artist's perspective.

But if Pearl comes to our company, we will serve the artist in everything, and we will absolutely not arrange for her to mentor newcomers!

In our eyes, she still has great potential for development. Didn't she say on the show that she wanted to transition to singing and dancing? I think that's a very good idea.

Everyone is trying their best to avoid this track; if she is truly interested in entering it, she could instead become the number one person in this field!"

Seeing that Sister Fang was about to continue speaking endlessly, Jin Li hurriedly called for a stop:

"You guys arrange it, don't come asking for my opinion. My opinion is that her ideas should be the standard. When you poach her, I won't provide extra help; at most, I'll help you put in a few good words."

Sui Lingfang wanted to say something, but Jin Li spoke first: "Sister Fang, treat it with a normal mindset. Our company isn't some big first-rate company either; Pearl might not necessarily want to come over."

Sui Lingfang paused, sighed heavily, and said bitterly: "Sigh, when will Dawn Entertainment finally be able to stand tall!"

Jin Li said pointedly: "That will have to wait until Dawn Entertainment has the ability to create a new first-rate star; perhaps that would be healthy development.

Although Meng Meng and I are still active in the entertainment industry, as you said, it's inadvisable for a company to rely on just one or two artists to deliver profits. You need a continuous ability to create stars to last a long time.

For example, Tian Ding Entertainment is like that; their ace group March Sky has always been shining in the entertainment industry, but during this period, Tian Ding has also launched several new first-rate stars. This is where you can see a company's strength and foundation."

Sui Lingfang thought for a moment and, with earnest advice, said to Jin Li: "Jin Li, we are still very different from Century Entertainment."

Jin Li: "Hmm?"

Sui Lingfang: "Century Entertainment could have just coasted, but they insisted on relying on Yu Guan Mingzhu to work hard to earn money, so they booked her for appearances that didn't fit her artist image. But we are different."

She said quickly: "Dawn Entertainment is completely coasting, just waiting for mature artists like you to carry us!"

Jin Li:...

Suddenly, she had the feeling of: "Writer's Assistant, you are already a mature piece of software; you should learn to write code yourself."

Jin Li couldn't help but chuckle; she knew Sister Fang was joking.

If they were really completely coasting, they wouldn't have hired so many employees or signed so many newcomers. From this, it could be seen that Dawn Entertainment still had great ambition.

It's just that sometimes luck is so mysterious.

Those they try hard to promote just don't become popular, no matter how many resources they pour into them for years.

Those they don't pay much attention to, however, end up unexpectedly exploding in popularity.

Jin Li stood up and walked out; she had finished chatting with Sister Fang, and for the remaining time, she had to rush back to her apartment to do practice problems.

Upon reaching the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head: "By the way, Sister Fang, I forgot to tell you, March Sky said they would invite me to be a special guest for their concert. I'll have to set aside time to practice singing and dancing then."

Before she could react, a suppressed scream from Sui Lingfang reached her ears.

"March Sky invited you, so they must have invited Yu Guan Mingzhu too. Ji Qinglian is at Tian Ding Entertainment, so she will definitely be invited as well. If the three of you appear...

No, if all three of you appear at the same time, can the appearance of the other three be far behind? Perhaps March Sky can really summon the Divine Dragon at the concert!"

Jin Li hurriedly covered her ears and ran away.

As expected of an agent, the perspective on problems is different from that of a star.

She only knew she had to practice singing and dancing, had to clear her schedule in advance, and had to choose her songs, but Sui Lingfang had already thought of N, N+1, N+2, and all sorts of other consequences.

So, even though Sister Fang no longer had the conditions to summon the Divine Dragon, why did she hope so much that others could?

Have you asked for the Divine Dragon's opinion??

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed it wasn't just Sister Fang; the entire internet hoped that Pink Girls could reunite once.

For a moment, Jin Li thought about whether to facilitate a reunion, but in an instant, she cast the thought to the back of her mind.

Forget it, it's too tiring. It's fine to just go out and play together privately; reuniting and doing promotional work and such... I want to coast _(: 3」∠)_

Returning to the apartment, Jin Li sent a message to Yu Guan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian each, then threw her phone aside and immersed herself in her studies.

When she was halfway through studying, Gu Cheng joined her.

When Jin Li did practice problems until her shoulders felt stiff and she had to stretch her body, she would glance at Gu Cheng.

Seeing that he was still wearing makeup while doing practice problems, and that his hair was styled with hair gel for a stage look, it was clear he still had night appearances to run.

So he was squeezing in time to study whenever he could.

To be honest, whenever she felt she was very diligent, Gu Cheng would bring her back to reality.

She actually wasn't as diligent as the netizens said; her long study sessions were all based on not having to run appearances.

If she had to run appearances, she couldn't guarantee she would have time to do problems every day; she had to squeeze out time like squeezing a sponge.

Compared to her, Gu Cheng was the true master of time management.

He was truly able to multitask, maintaining his focus even in a noisy environment; his willpower was very firm.

Whenever Jin Li wanted to be lazy and relax, but saw Gu Cheng's diligent and serious profile, she would have a feeling of...

Ah, she wasn't worthy.

Jin Li patted her cheeks, went to the bathroom to wash her face, thought for a moment, and simply took a gift a fan had given her—

A "Victory in the College Entrance Exam" ribbon!

The company worried that gifts fans gave Jin Li might contain toxic items (this had happened to other stars before), so the company would help her unpack every gift in advance rather than letting her bring them back herself.

Gifts that she was allowed to bring back after unpacking would be disinfected for her in advance.

This ribbon had been disinfected.

Jin Li tied the ribbon on her forehead and returned to her seat.

【She only rested for five minutes; even squatting in the bathroom takes longer than that. What a terrifying study-grinder!】

【She's here, she's here, this powerful woman is bringing her belief in victory... wait, she's re-entered the live stream with her victory ribbon!】

【When I heard Jin Li announce she would take the college entrance exam next year, I didn't feel nervous. After all, I've been following her study progress and have also learned all the content for the third year of high school science, and I consider my grasp of every knowledge point to be decent.

But now, seeing the "Victory in the College Entrance Exam" ribbon Jin Li is wearing, I'm suddenly very nervous. It's really time for the college entrance exam... I... can I do it?】

【We "Anglers" cannot say we can't!!】

【Anglers... what a fitting fan title. Once you enter the fishing gate, you're an angler for life! I hope everyone can catch a big Koi and land on shore!】

"Old Kong, is this the study streamer you were talking about? Why is this person so young?"

At the same time, in a different setting.

Kong Lingxian's team had already conquered the cancer of the wheat world—scab disease. Recently, they had been organizing the relevant data and had reached the final stage, soon to submit their manuscript to "Nature."

Kong Lingxian was very confident that if the manuscript passed, it would definitely gain a prominent introductory position in "Nature."

Their results were very impressive!

Kong Lingxian recommended the study streamer named "Jin Li" to his old friend with great enthusiasm. "I heard she isn't even a professional study streamer; her main profession is as a star, and she has filmed many TV dramas and movies.

By the way, didn't you go see 'Dream Builder'? How could you not recognize that this person is the female lead in it!"

Duan Hong put on his glasses to check carefully and suddenly realized.

"I was wondering why she looked so familiar; so it's that actress. She looks much better in person than in the movie; she was more ordinary in the movie. I didn't expect her to have such star quality!"

Duan Hong frowned: "But that's not right. Why is she a study streamer instead of being an actress?"

Kong Lingxian said: "She's doing this as a side job. She said she didn't continue her studies after finishing middle school and has always regretted not going to college, so she is self-studying high school content to fulfill a dream."

Duan Hong couldn't stop nodding: "Not bad, she's a young person who knows how to improve herself."

He changed the subject and asked suspiciously: "So is it really useful? Can it bring you experimental inspiration?"

Kong Lingxian thought for a moment and said: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just that when I enter her live stream to watch her study, I keep thinking myself, and I feel that the process is more focused, and then inspiration just bursts forth.

I also heard Xue Hao and Zou Weichun mention her when they came to attend a technology conference, so I entered her live stream with skepticism.

Anyway, Jin Li's live stream is very quiet, with only the sound of her doing problems. Watching the live stream while thinking about problems doesn't affect anything.

Old Duan, I'm recommending it to you because I truly feel it's useful. If you don't believe me, forget it."

Kong Lingxian made a move to take back his phone.

"Hey, wait!"

Duan Hong immediately snatched his phone away. "Let me take a look first. If you don't even let me see it, how would I know if it's effective?"

Kong Lingxian rolled his eyes: "Use your own phone to watch; I want to watch her live stream too."

Duan Hong was already watching intently and waved his hand to tell him to go away, but Kong Lingxian kept trying to take back the phone.

"Let's watch together, let's watch together. Let me see if it works or not first; I'll download this whatever live streaming software it is after I finish watching!"

Duan Hong pushed Kong Lingxian's head away, occupying two-thirds of the screen, as immovable as a mountain.

Kong Lingxian shook his head helplessly and scolded: "You old Duan, I shouldn't have shared it with you if I had known!"

Although he said that, the expression on his face was smiling.

Jin Li didn't know that one big shot had introduced her to another big shot.

She continued to immerse herself in doing practice problems.

In a certain QQ fan group named 【Anglers Born to Fish for Koi】, many people were sending messages, and the group chat was very active.

【Shui Ruying】: Did you guys record the video of Koi tying the "Victory in the College Entrance Exam" ribbon?!

【Shui Ruying】: I'm obsessed with Jin Li; she's really so good-looking, both youthful and hardworking. This is the youth movie I imagined!

【You Zuo】: Recorded, recorded, still recording. I'll put the video in the group files after I finish recording!

【? yu?】: So are we really going to edit the video? Won't this project be too big?

【Su Zixi】: Strongly support! My youth was just like Koi's, always accompanied by a sea of problems. Seeing her is like seeing myself during my youth; I miss that time so much... If possible, I want to record these clips too!

【Li Chun Daji】: I've decided, I'm also going to join in editing the Koi growth documentary. Our China should also have our own "Flying Girl," which will be "Jin Li's Story of a Poor Student's Counterattack"!

【lazywetry】: How about we give Jin Li some face and call it "Koi's Story of a Study God's Growth," smirk. jpg~

【Love Watching Little Pikachu】: It's good, I love watching it, edit it quickly. If you need financial support, just tell me!

【Niu Niu Happy】: Support!!!
