Chapter 453: Bluffing is both true and false; worshiping Zhong Kui, getting the mantra to avoid villains

When Seeing Jin Li heard "Li Bao," her heart swayed for a moment.

She felt as if her body had also turned into a tilde, floating there, floating, floating.

Her eyes curved and she smiled, her eyes like a quiet lake, gentle without losing strength, and she crisply responded: "Okay!"

"Wait until I see Zhong Kui and ask the Daoist priest, then I'll video call you."

Gu Cheng looked at her focusedly and responded softly.

"I have my phone right by my side, I'll answer immediately when you call."

The two looked at each other in a daze for a long time, without words, just looking at each other like this.

It was Chen Lin who couldn't hold it anymore and squawked next to Gu Cheng.

"Sister Seeing Jin Li, we have been too unlucky recently. A new minister of the public relations department came to our company and always wants to interfere with our announcements. That minister is specifically here to hold us back..."

Gu Cheng pushed Chen Lin's head away in disgust and quickly said to the screen: "You go ahead and get busy, we'll talk later. Just treat Chen Lin's words as wind in your ears. I'm fine recently, very good."

The smile in Seeing Jin Li's eyes deepened, and she didn't feel curious about what Chen Lin mentioned.

When Gu Cheng wanted to tell her, he would naturally tell her.

After hanging up the video call, Sui Lingfang, who was sitting in front, turned to look at Seeing Jin Li, and only after confirming that she had hung up the video call did she say:

"I have some impression of the new minister of the public relations department of March Sky."

Seeing Jin Li raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "You know him?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head amusedly: "How could I know this kind of rich second generation? It's because I've had more contact and exchanges with Zhang Guang recently, and heard him mention the new minister of the public relations department a few times."

Chen Qin had heard the conversation between Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li before, and the auntie smile on her face never went away.

But she knew that Seeing Jin Li didn't want people to probe into her life, so she could only endure the excitement in her heart and didn't dare to ask.

Now all the excitement turned into curiosity about the new gossip, and she asked excitedly:

"What is the reputation of the new minister of the public relations department of Tianding Entertainment? Is his education very high, and his connections very wide?"

Sui Lingfang said leisurely: "The education is very high, he studied at a famous university abroad and studied business administration. His connections are also very wide, knowing a bunch of foreign alumni."

"So his connections are all abroad, but the domestic structure is not clear at all. But because the names of those foreign alumni sound very bluffing when spoken out, they fooled some high-level executives of Tianding Entertainment so happily that they couldn't find north, thinking that under his leadership, March Sky could move towards the path of international superstars."

Although Gu Cheng didn't say it, Seeing Jin Li felt that the personnel changes of Tianding Entertainment belonged to common sense that artists needed to know, so she also participated in the gossip.

"Are they all bluffing? Is it really bluffing, or is it fake bluffing?" Seeing Jin Li asked, pointing to the key point.

Sui Lingfang thought of what Zhang Guang said, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"To be honest, it can be considered true. The new minister of the public relations department is called He Yan. He studied abroad from elementary school and read all the way to a doctorate."

"He Yan's circle of friends is all presidents or CEOs of major brands, and these CEOs are all young and promising. The brands they started are decent, although the brand fame hasn't reached the country, but under the packaging of rhetoric, many people will feel very powerful."

Seeing Jin Li understood, and the word "but" must follow.

"But," Sui Lingfang changed the subject, "Tianding Entertainment's high-level executives don't go abroad much, and don't pay much attention to foreign trends. They only know internationally famous luxury brands."

"There are too many brands they don't know, and it's normal for high-level executives to be fooled for a while. According to He Yan, these are all foreign second-tier brands with great potential, and some are even light luxury first-tier brands with no fame in the country."

Chen Qin: "So, do these brands really have such great potential?"

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "They are all companies started by a group of rich second generations who don't lack money at home. No one treats them as a real industry to eat, so you say how great the potential is?"

"Consumers in this country are not easy to fool, are foreign consumers who don't know the industry easy to fool? Domestic media can collect money to publish reports for brands, can foreign media not?"

"Speaking of public opinion charging and manipulating public opinion, these methods are still spread from abroad to the country."

"Those brands ask people to polish and process them, and then publish a few reports, and when they spread abroad, they become well-known local brands."

Xiao Cheng sighed: "It's really clever to fool people!"

Sui Lingfang "um-hummed," "Tianding Entertainment is not a stupid person. They must have seen that the reports of these brands are very good, so they think He Yan can take March Sky to international superstars."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes flickered slightly, hearing a different meaning from Sister Fang's words.

"Does this mean that Guang Ge is going to be fired?" she asked.

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "No, Zhang Guang made the March Sky boy group popular and created so much profit for the company. He already has a portion of Tianding Entertainment's reward equity in his hands."

"Recently, March Sky members have participated in personal announcement activities individually. Tianding Entertainment wants Zhang Guang to lead a new boy group team and release March Sky. Currently, they are just discussing it."

She paused, "After all, things like manager adjustment not only need to obtain the manager's consent but also the star's consent."

"March Sky is different from ordinary artists, and Tianding Entertainment doesn't want to fall out with them because of changing managers."

A thoughtful look flashed in Seeing Jin Li's eyes.

"What about He Yan? Doesn't He Yan know that these brands are just empty shells? Doesn't he consider March Sky?"

Sui Lingfang curled her lips: "People are only staying at Tianding Entertainment for a few years, and it's not certain whether they will stay later, so what do you think?"

"He pulls March Sky to participate in these brand activity announcements and endorse brands, getting praise and vanity among a bunch of foreign friends, and then collects some benefits, makes a profit, and leaves."

"And these brands offer March Sky a high announcement price. If someone in March Sky is short-sighted and is fooled into participating in the announcement, then he can be considered successful."

Once there is the first time, there will be the second, the third... endless.

Seeing Jin Li thought to herself, no wonder Chen Lin said that the minister was here to hold them back.

But looking at Gu Cheng's calm appearance, perhaps for March Sky, the problem is not big.

Chen Qin didn't know what she thought of, searched around with her phone, and then her eyes lit up and said:

"Sister Fang, March Sky's contract with Tianding Entertainment expires in July next year. Since that He Yan wants to use March Sky, can we strive for March Sky to come over?"

Sui Lingfang: "The idea is good, but don't think about it anymore."

"Not to mention that March Sky is still Tianding Entertainment's cash cow, it's hard to say what Tianding will choose. Besides, every member of March Sky is gradually developing independently, and their wings are full. Then why should they cooperate with the company?"

Sui Lingfang had the idea of digging March Sky over after hearing Guang Ge's complaints.

But just thinking about it, she knew it was impossible.

This temple of Chenxi Entertainment is still too small.

Don't look at Chenxi Entertainment managing Seeing Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze quite well, that's because these two stars already have fame and resources, and the company just helps with planning services.

Chenxi Entertainment also has self-knowledge, knowing that such stars don't use the channels they provide, so they gave up a lot in terms of sharing.

But male stars are different from female stars.

Male stars are often more enterprising. Once they leave the company, they will think about opening their own company and engaging in investment.

Sui Lingfang said: "If I were March Sky, I wouldn't fall out with Tianding Entertainment. I would set up a personal studio and hang it under Tianding Entertainment, which can borrow Tianding Entertainment's momentum and have great independent rights."

This is also the most common practice for many stars after leaving the company.

Seeing Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze can actually set up personal studios, and Chenxi Entertainment has talked to them about it, but they are not interested in this aspect.

After all, the environment they are in at Chenxi Entertainment now is almost the same as a personal studio.

And they can also enjoy some support from the company in the company.

If you open a personal studio, everything has to be done by yourself, and you have to find an office location yourself. Just thinking about it feels troublesome.

The group of people came to the Daoist temple. Walking in, it was a street specifically selling peripheral products of the Daoist temple.

People came and went around. Seeing Jin Li observed that the most sold were portraits and statues of Zhong Kui, both of which are suitable for placing at the entrance or directly facing the outside of the main door.

Zhong Kui specializes in catching ghosts and driving away evil. He is the only "God of All Responses" among the folk gods of Daoism, and can suppress villains and resolve right and wrong.

Besides Zhong Kui, some gods also have similar functions.

Guan Gong uses loyalty and integrity to deter villains, protect the body and avoid disaster. He is the God of Wealth and the Dharma-protecting God.

Wang Lingguan has fiery eyes and golden pupils, can identify good and evil, and drive away evil spirits. He is the first Dharma-protecting God of Daoism.

White Tiger God guards the right side of the Daoist temple, mainly killing and driving away evil, and preventing villains from plotting. He is one of the four images. But there are taboos for worshiping the White Tiger God. The White Tiger is a fierce god and needs to be balanced with the Azure Dragon. Do not worship alone.

Today they were not in a hurry, and just happened to encounter a lecture and Dharma meeting held by the Daoist temple. Listening to the Daoist priest talk about the gods blessing the earth and all things, they also learned a mantra to avoid villains.

Seeing Jin Li heard the folk mantra for the first time. This kind of mantra is different from the orthodox method. It doesn't need too many rituals to be performed immediately, and the mantra is also very short, while the orthodox method is relatively long.

In terms of function, folk mantras are sometimes effective and sometimes ineffective, belonging to "side doors and side methods."

But because the orthodox method is too cumbersome to perform, it is not conducive to promotion among the people, so the Daoist priest will concentrate on researching some short mantras.

The mantra learned in this Daoist temple is, recite silently in the morning: "Heaven is clear and earth is peaceful, evil spirits do not invade; righteous energy protects the body, villains stay away."

After Seeing Jin Li finished reciting, she had no feeling at all. This mantra had no effect on her.

Instead, the other three felt that reciting this mantra silently in the Daoist temple made their spirits seem better and their eyebrows clear.

Seeing Jin Li thought: Perhaps this is the power of the heart, idealism, everything is possible.

Arriving at Zhong Kui Hall, Seeing Jin Li worshiped earnestly and focusedly, and also hung all the amulets she bought around her waist, worshiping with her.

After worshiping, she donated a sum of merit silver. Because the amount was too large, she was invited into the compartment by the Daoist priest to chant scriptures and pray for them alone for a while.

After chanting the scriptures, Seeing Jin Li asked the Daoist priest if she could use her phone to photograph Zhong Kui.

The Daoist priest looked hesitant, "Zhong Kui the god does not like to be photographed. Several up-masters came to photograph before, saying it was to promote mythology and intangible cultural heritage, and wanted to photograph Zhong Kui in the hall."

"We couldn't resist them, and holding the idea that letting more people know is also a great achievement, so we let them photograph."

"As a result, a few days later, these up-masters returned with pale faces and thick dark circles, saying that they dreamed all day long, dreaming of ghost walls..."

The Daoist priest carefully examined Seeing Jin Li for a few times, shook his head cautiously and said: "This lay Buddhist, I observe your physiognomy is a face of a red-faced thin life, not as honest and solid as those up-masters, lay Buddhist, forget it?"

Chen Qin thought, this Daoist priest probably doesn't watch entertainment news.

Now when talking about Seeing Jin Li, who doesn't praise her for her good luck, deep foundation, and soaring after becoming popular again? How could she be a red-faced thin life?

The other three looked strange, all doubting the Daoist priest's vision of people.

On the contrary, Seeing Jin Li was not surprised. This body was already like a candle in the wind when she arrived. Now it is just relying on the spiritual power of the gods to forcibly continue her life.

Of course, because of the change in spirit and energy, the appearance will also change.

Appearance comes from the heart, it's not just talk.

Now evolving into a face of "red-faced thin life" is already good. When she first arrived in this body, it was a "face of death," the kind that would inevitably kick the bucket in a few days.

Seeing Jin Li smiled and said: "Daoist priest, I am a small and famous star. I want to take a few photos to promote the Daoist temple culture. It should spread wider than those up-masters. If Zhong Kui knows, I don't think He will blame me. Can you give me a chance to photograph?"

"This..." The Daoist priest was very hesitant.

Chen Qin immediately took out her phone to search for Seeing Jin Li's information and hurriedly introduced: "Our Seeing Jin Li is a very famous star, I didn't lie to you, she looks exactly the same as the star in the photo!"

Seeing Jin Li cooperated and took off her mask and hat.

Chen Qin felt that this experience was very novel. In the past, she had to hide and hide wherever she went.

As a result, now she is showing her face openly, and she still needs to find ways to prove that she is extremely popular.

This Daoist priest couldn't make up his mind alone, so he called several Daoist priests to discuss together. A slightly younger Daoist priest recognized Seeing Jin Li and blurted out:

"Seeing Jin Li, you finally came to our Daoist temple!"

Everyone:???

The young Daoist priest said embarrassedly: "I occasionally have free time, I will watch your livestream to study Daoism, and I know you are a Daoist culture enthusiast who likes to visit Daoist temples."

This Daoist priest said to the other older Daoist priests: "This is the star I mentioned to you before. Our Daoist temple's incense suddenly became prosperous two years ago. I said at the time that it might be because a star likes to visit Daoist temples, attracting many media to promote it."

The other Daoist priests suddenly realized, and one said: "Last time a few young up-masters came, they also mentioned a star called 'Seeing Jin Li', could it be this one?"

The young Daoist priest nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, it's this one!"

"So you are Seeing Jin Li!" The other Daoist priests looked at Seeing Jin Li with burning eyes, feeling that she was covered with a layer of dazzling golden light of the God of Wealth.

Chen Qin's hanging heart slowly let go.

This script is right.

This world is indeed the world she knows.
