Chapter 460: Chenxi Attacks Idol Trainees, Seeing Jin Li's New Investment Ideas

~13 min read 2,586 words

Seeing Jin Li pointed out the details she had just observed: "Has Chenxi Entertainment recruited more stars?"

In fact, many stars had come up to the third floor in the past, and Fang Jie's office was in the innermost part, so on her way to Fang Jie's office, she always ran into stars greeting her.

But today, looking at it, there were a lot of people standing there, and judging by their dress and appearance, these people were basically stars.

Sui Lingfang nodded: "You were filming in the crew and didn't know. Starting last month, the company changed the first floor and added an exhibition hall for outstanding artists.

They also changed the third floor, changed the layout of the agents' offices, and also rented another floor of office space above.

Chenxi Entertainment now has a total of 4 floors available, and the newly opened floor is specifically for training trainees. The artists you see outside are all newly arrived trainees."

Seeing Jin Li frowned: "Idol economics is not easy to do. In this regard, Tianding Entertainment is professional, and Chenxi Entertainment probably can't afford to throw money at it."

Every idol has to undergo preliminary investment, and music and dance training courses are not cheap.

This kind of training is different from outside interest tutoring classes; the industry will specifically hire well-known teachers in the industry to train, and each class is several times more expensive than so-called interest classes.

Besides that, they have to be promoted before they debut, and they have to have exposure.

Only with exposure can they attract the attention of netizens, become their fans, and contribute to the idols' debut voting.

In addition, if you want to package people to be star-studded, money is indispensable.

There is a saying that Seeing Jin Li still agrees with—

All the beauty in this world is filled with the smell of money.

If you don't have money, no matter how good your beauty is, it can't be maintained, and a person's most beautiful years are only those few years.

She didn't undergo medical aesthetics, nor did she do much skincare, but her skin was still tender; this wasn't because her innate foundation was really that good.

It was because she often went to the Daoist temple to infuse divine power, and the divine power would spontaneously help her maintain her beauty, keeping her body in its best state.

She was a special case; female stars in the circle were quite competitive about beauty and skincare.

Even Gong Zitong, who cared the least about her image among the Pink Girls (her resident variety show was an outdoor variety show), would undergo medical aesthetics once every two or three months.

She joked in the group that she was still slacking off and not as diligent as other female stars.

From this, it can be seen that in terms of beauty and skincare, stars spend the most, after all, they rely on their faces to eat.

And trainees have to undergo corresponding packaging before they even debut.

—Pretty faces, strict body management, and all-big-brand clothing.

Sui Lingfang sighed softly.

"I mentioned it to the president, but the company previously invested in several film and television dramas, especially your 'Assassination,' which gave the company relatively high profits.

The president didn't want to keep the money sitting there, but to invest it, but the risk of film and television drama projects is too great, and in the case of not being able to guarantee that they can be broadcast, the president didn't want to continue investing.

After asking the senior management of Tianding Entertainment, he became greedy for idol economics, feeling that the profits inside were huge, so he also wanted to learn from others and do it. Isn't that why they have been recruiting troops and expanding the venue?"

The company's will will not be reversed by individual will.

Since the company has too much money to burn and wants to throw money out, Seeing Jin Li no longer expresses opinions on this matter.

Instead, Chen Qin asked a question with foresight.

"The company has recruited so many trainees, they must adopt an elimination system. The training of trainees is very cruel, and it would be good if half of them can stay next year.

But Fang Jie, if the company wants to push the remaining trainees to debut, does Seeing Jin Li have to lead them?"

Driver Xiao Cheng immediately echoed: "Fang Jie, this won't work. Sister Seeing Jin Li runs errands and studies every day, she is already very tired."

Sui Lingfang's expression became serious: "Don't worry about this. When the president wanted to do trainees, I had already repeatedly emphasized to him that I would not let Seeing Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze lead people."

Her words turned: "The president also indicated that he just wanted to try it out. If the trainees can't fight for a position themselves, then forget it, and it won't disturb Seeing Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze."

Seeing Jin Li thought in her heart, to tell the truth, if Chenxi Entertainment really begged her to lead a newcomer, as long as it didn't affect her errands and life, she wouldn't mind leading them.

Isn't it just leading someone in some activities, letting the newcomer get to know other people in the circle, and brushing their face? What's so difficult about that?

She wouldn't bundle the newcomer together just to push them out on a variety show.

On the contrary, Chenxi Entertainment's indifferent attitude towards newcomers made Seeing Jin Li feel even more that they couldn't succeed.

Recruiting people as trainees, giving them resources, and drawing a pie called "dream," but not giving them the channels to rush out, how do you expect them to get ahead?

Before the Pink Girls group became popular, they all participated in several music-related errands, went to various radio programs to hit the charts, and attended various small activities.

Although the level of these exposures was very small, it was still exposure.

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while and said: "If the company needs my help to lead artists, I can take them to participate in some brand activities. Brands are easy to talk to about this point."

In many first-tier luxury brand activities, it's not just first-tier stars who can participate; many second- and third-tier stars can also be inserted by the company throwing money.

And first-tier stars don't just participate in first-tier luxury brand activities.

For well-known second-tier national brands and third-tier brand activities that are gaining momentum and throwing money desperately, first-tier stars will also participate, but participating in such activities, the errand fee will be more than first-tier luxury brands.

But she has several brand endorsements in her hands, as long as she wants to take newcomers to participate in activities, she can take them in without spending money.

These resources are also resources, and Seeing Jin Li feels that they don't need to be wasted, it's just a matter of doing it casually.

"As for variety shows, I think it's better for the company to participate in some investments, so that trainees can show their faces on variety shows, and trainees won't have no channels for exposure."

A smile appeared on Sui Lingfang's face, and she shook her head and said: "Seeing Jin Li, you are still too kind."

Seeing Jin Li said frankly: "I just feel that some things are not as serious as you think, and it's quite good to do a good deed casually."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while: "I will tell the president your thoughts, but your schedule is very tight, don't even think about leading newcomers this year and the first half of next year."

"Next week you have to go to film 'My Mediocre Life,' and you will be soaked in the crew, unable to spare the schedule. After filming, you have to go all out to prepare for the college entrance exam, stop all errands, so until the college entrance exam results come out, I won't arrange any errands for you."

"As for the variety show investment you mentioned, I will give key feedback to the president."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while and sighed: "But I think he probably won't invest heavily. The feedback from film and television is too slow, and variety shows need to be monetized through advertisements. After the economy gets worse, this becomes even more difficult."

"And now variety shows are all aimed at making money. Everyone wants to invite popular internet celebrities or stars with high topics to participate. Trainees are equivalent to laymen. Even with Chenxi Entertainment's investment, it's probably very difficult to squeeze them in."

This is actually very easy to solve: let Chenxi Entertainment invest heavily in a variety show and occupy the right to speak in the variety show.

As an investor, a Party A father who needs to be served, he can insert any artist he wants, even if they are all layman trainees.

However, it is clear that Chenxi Entertainment is worried about the repayment of the film and television sector and is unwilling to spend great effort.

Just.

Quite flashy.

It made Seeing Jin Li feel shy.

Compared to other first-tier stars, her film, television, and variety show resume is actually a bit thin; after all, taking the boutique route cannot be compared to chasing quantity.

But in terms of endorsements, her achievements are already on par with popular first-tier artists.

And if you look closely at the film and television section of her resume, they were all obtained in the last two years, and almost every one of them is a hit, or has stirred up super high discussion on the internet.

Seeing Jin Li's achievements in film and television are already quite dazzling.

It's just that her achievements in endorsements are even more dazzling.

Chen Qin looked at the introduction the company had listed for Seeing Jin Li and suddenly said: "I think brands are much more sensitive than those people who invest in film and television dramas; they know better which star is popular or not."

Driver Xiao Cheng suggested: "Sister Seeing Jin Li, do you want to take a photo with your standee, holding your chibi image in your hand?"

Seeing Jin Li readily agreed: "Okay!"

If Chenxi Entertainment hadn't set up an exhibition hall for her, she wouldn't have realized that she had produced quite a lot of work in the last two years.

Hey, she really is too diligent!

So, is it okay to take a proper rest?

Seeing Jin Li was originally a bit hesitant about how long to take a vacation after filming "My Mediocre Life," whether to take half a month or a month?

But she has decided now: after filming, she will go into seclusion to study, then take the college entrance exam, and stay on vacation until the end of summer break when the exam results come out!

She not only took photos in her own exhibition hall but also ran to Meng Meng's exhibition hall to take photos with her standee.

After taking the photos, Seeing Jin Li looked at them. The phone's built-in soft light and skin-smoothing features made the person in the photo look very soft, her body glowing white, and she looked to be in great condition.

And the outfit she was wearing was all styled by Sister Fang according to the brands, so she didn't send them to Chenxi Entertainment's professional retouching team and uploaded them directly to her blog.

Before long, fans came one after another to like the post.

【Sister is so beautiful!!】

【Checking in, today's merit +1+2+3+4+5+...】

【Where is this? Why didn't I know there was a Seeing Jin Li exhibition today? Chenxi Entertainment didn't post a notice!】

【This lobby looks so familiar. There's actually an exhibition for Meng Meng too. I remember now, isn't this Chenxi Entertainment's lobby?!】

【Crying, tempting me again... Chenxi Entertainment's lobby isn't open to fans. When will they let fans in to check in? Even if we can't go inside, just standing outside to take a photo would be fine.】

Xi Sister Meng Ze was surfing the internet and saw a bunch of fans tagging her, only then discovering that Seeing Jin Li had posted photos with her standee.

Xi Sister Meng Ze quickly commented: 【!!! Has the company lobby actually become like this? I haven't been back to the company in a long time. Wait for me, I'm rushing back now!】

Seeing Jin Li replied to Xi Sister Meng Ze: 【(Hooking finger) Come quickly, let's have hot pot.】

The two of them are in the same company, so interacting is normal, but this blog post blew up the other members of Pink Girls.

First, Xi Sister Meng Ze forwarded the blog post Seeing Jin Li had posted to the Pink Girls group chat, showing off that she actually had an exhibition hall and asking if the others had one.

The others:...

They really didn't have one ╮(╯_╰)╭

Even Ji Qinglian, who is at Tianding Entertainment, didn't have one.

Tianding Entertainment's first floor also has an exhibition hall for outstanding artists, but it only displays photos of the three most outstanding artists, one of whom is the boy band March Days, and the other two are very prominent idol artists.

Tianding Entertainment is professional at producing idols.

In terms of seniority, just by virtue of the fact that the Pink Girls she was once in almost became an Asian supergroup, Ji Qinglian is definitely at the top of the list at Tianding Entertainment.

But it's a pity that imported talent can't compare to locally cultivated talent, and Ji Qinglian's popularity is indeed not as high as those two idol artists.

Because of Xi Sister Meng Ze's showing off, the other sisters all clicked on this blog post and used their main accounts to leave comments for Seeing Jin Li.

Yu Guan Mingzhu: 【Don't invite me to hot pot @Seeing Jin Li】

Ji Qinglian: 【Where is my hot pot @Seeing Jin Li】

Yu Lina: 【Hot pot hot pot @Seeing Jin Li】

Gong Zitong: 【You come over, I'll treat you to wild hot pot @Seeing Jin Li】

The six members of Pink Girls all moved out, pushing Seeing Jin Li's blog post to the number one spot on the trending search, and number one in real-time discussion across multiple platforms!

A bunch of content creators seized the opportunity, flipped through their own video archives, and if they had videos of Pink Girls edited, they spent money to boost traffic and expand exposure.

If they hadn't edited Pink Girls, they stayed up all night to edit, seizing this wave of traffic.

The whole internet set off another wave of nostalgia. Influenced by this, Pink Girls received many invitations for large-scale song and dance variety shows, and even the "slacking queen" Seeing Jin Li didn't escape; but that is a story for another time.

Seeing Jin Li went directly to the third floor of Chenxi Entertainment.

She discovered that the layout of the third floor had changed a bit. In the past, there were independent manager offices, but this time the offices had become a semi-open, transparent glass layout. Many managers' desks also had artists standing there, with managers and artists discussing things with each other.

It looked full of talent and flourishing.

When the managers saw Seeing Jin Li arrive, they greeted her one after another.

"Seeing Jin Li is back!"
