Chapter 538: Tear it apart!

~15 min read 2,848 words

April, the season of grass growing and warblers flying.

The weather warms up, the air humidity increases, entering the frog breeding period, and male frogs will croak loudly by the water to attract female frogs.

This is also the period when grass and trees grow wildly, and patches of new green background cover the residential area.

Seeing Jin Li's phone ringtone rang, very fittingly changed to "Little Frog".

"The happy pond is planted, dreams become the ocean, bulging eyes and big mouths, also singing loudly..."

"Seeing Jin Li, have you checked your grades?"

On the phone, Xi Sister Meng Ze's voice was so high that it was a bit distorted, asking impatiently.

Seeing Jin Li looked at a pond outside the floor-to-ceiling window, where lotus flowers were planted, and she also raised three koi fish.

Every time the nutritionist finished matching the meals these few days, she would go to feed the koi fish with great interest, and then say with emotion:

"So fat, what a pity they can't be eaten!"

Seeing Jin Li regained her senses and said: "It won't refresh until noon, there are still two hours left."

Xi Sister Meng Ze sighed and said: "Why is it so slow!"

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but speak for the official website: "The grades are announced more than half a month later every year, and it hasn't changed year after year."

Xi Sister Meng Ze acted like a spoiled child: "Whatever, it's just very slow!"

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help laughing: "If you have time to care about me, you might as well choose songs and rehearse carefully. 'I Am a Singer' has been very popular on the internet recently, and everyone is looking forward to your first performance."

Xi Sister Meng Ze said indifferently: "For the sake of publicity, this program officially announces a first-line singer every week, all of whom are very controversial singers, or rely on their outstanding song selection ability to satisfy the audience. I'll just sing simple love songs."

Xi Sister Meng Ze changed the subject and asked cautiously: "Seeing Jin Li, if you don't pass this exam..."

Seeing Jin Li interrupted: "There is no if, I will definitely pass!"

Xi Sister Meng Ze looked around. Qi Guan Mingzhu and Sui Lingfang were both by her side. They hadn't contacted Seeing Jin Li for a long time, fearing to disturb her review, and no one dared to ask about Seeing Jin Li's grades.

Finally, only she could go out.

Xi Sister Meng Ze: "Okay, let me know when you pass, I'll treat you to hot pot!"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "You can pick a seat now."

Xi Sister Meng Ze raised her eyebrows: "So confident?"

Seeing Jin Li said lightly: "I didn't treat the academic ability test as a real exam at all; it was just an ordinary test."

For more than half a month, besides the "I Am a Singer" program team absorbing heat, it was the discussion about March Sky and Seeing Jin Li that was more frequent.

March Sky was a contract issue and a fan riot issue.

Seeing Jin Li was still the "college entrance exam hype" issue.

Even though she had clearly stated that she would not respond again, many netizens would still pop up to discuss it every few days.

Seeing Jin Li's grades hung on many people's minds.

Many brands knew that the academic ability test was just an outpost, and the real battle would be after the college entrance exam. Once Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam results were not ideal, endless slander and abuse would follow.

This is an era of "celebrities have no privacy", an era of the public, and an era where as long as you don't do it right, you will be picked on by a magnifying glass.

In this era, fans' money is easy to earn, but the public will also be very harsh on artists who have made money.

The more positive, the more they want to destroy it.

Especially Seeing Jin Li.

Seeing Jin Li has been red again for the past two years, and the road she has traveled is too positive!

She is like a perfect person, placed on the altar by the media, and cannot have the slightest mistake.

Even though she has given up a lot of exposure and even though she lives in seclusion, netizens and paparazzi still like to bring her out to talk about it.

The reason is nothing else. In everyone's eyes, she is an excellent artist with a very positive image.

Everyone loves to see the drama of excellent artists falling off the altar and their image collapsing.

Once Seeing Jin Li makes a mistake, the verbal criticism will come quickly.

The news released by the three major marketing accounts is just an appetizer. Once her college entrance exam results are not good, even netizens will join the crusade—

"Look at that artist, she has insisted on live-streaming studying every day for the past two years, but she only got into a third-tier university, the most ordinary university. It's all a show!"

The better the artist's positive image, the higher the requirements netizens will have for them.

Just like the problems that can be seen in reality.

A person who has been a good person for many years suddenly did a bad thing, which does not conform to the impression others have of a good person, and the good reputation will plummet.

People will say: Look at so-and-so, he is not very good either!

A person who has been a bad person for many years suddenly did a good thing, refreshing others' impression of him, and the reputation will actually recover.

People will say: Look at so-and-so, he actually does this kind of thing. He doesn't look as bad as imagined. Tsk, the pitiful person must have something hateful!

The world is always harsh on good people and tolerant of bad people.

The initial attitude towards both cannot be treated fairly.

Netizens' attitude towards Seeing Jin Li is also the same.

As the time for the academic ability test assessment to be announced gets closer, netizens' discussions about Seeing Jin Li on the internet are getting more and more frequent.

【So nervous, won't she even fail the academic ability test?】

【(Wiping sweat) If you don't pass this time, you can continue to take it in the second half of the year, and you can take it next year. What are you anxious about?】

【I feel like the public opinion on the internet wants Seeing Jin Li to be finished. Can't you think of some good things about others?】

【I think Seeing Jin Li is just using the college entrance exam to hype. An artist, while taking care of work, still has to study, and doesn't want to study silently. Every time she has to open a live stream with great fanfare!】

【If this kind of sloppy attitude can also be tested very well, then where do you put the high school students who have been sitting in the classroom for three years working hard to solve problems?】

【So you are jealous of Seeing Jin Li. Is it hard to admit she is excellent?】

【The students who really want to take the exam are not as high-profile as Seeing Jin Li!】

【No, if you don't discuss it, which eye did you see it was high-profile? Is live-streaming studying high-profile? You just can't stand others being good!】

Not to mention the malicious comments on the internet, whether it is the navy bought by the opposite side.

Just say Seeing Jin Li's current situation, it has indeed been placed on the shelf by the articles issued by the three major marketing accounts.

Damn marketing account!

Netizens only discuss the present, but people in the entertainment industry can see more.

Every month this year, many brands' personal risk ratings for Seeing Jin Li will be adjusted upwards.

The closer it is to the college entrance exam, the higher Seeing Jin Li's reputation will be.

The academic ability test is just a small threshold. To be honest, if Seeing Jin Li can't pass it, the risk will be quickly lifted, and we will see next year.

If you can't pass, then continue to study. The public opinion's attitude towards Seeing Jin Li's live-streaming studying is still very recognized.

But live-streaming is live-streaming, and studying is studying. Once you participate in the college entrance exam, everyone's attitude will change again.

Because she is an excellent artist, even Seeing Jin Li's fans hope she can hand over a very good result.

Either, don't give people a chance to look forward to it.

Once given, as an artist, you must show greater expectations and realize it, complete it!

Once the academic ability test is passed, the controversy over Seeing Jin Li will continue until the results are released after the college entrance exam ends.

After Xi Sister Meng Ze hung up the phone, she said to the two: "Seeing Jin Li sounds in a good mood and hasn't been affected by the internet public opinion."

Sui Lingfang and Qi Guan Mingzhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xi Sister Meng Ze looked at Sister Fang: "Can't you suppress Seeing Jin Li's heat?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "Can't delete it anymore. Originally, the public wasn't staring at Seeing Jin Li, but the three major marketing accounts pulled Seeing Jin Li out."

"Even if Seeing Jin Li says she won't respond anymore, netizens will still discuss it repeatedly. Only when her college entrance exam ends and the results are released will these discussions end."

She was a bit fortunate that March Sky was exposed by the paparazzi for disbandment, sharing most of the firepower.

Otherwise, the questioning of Seeing Jin Li on the internet would be even more surging.

Inside Tian Ding Entertainment.

Zhang Guang, on behalf of March Sky and others, went to the company for contract negotiations.

Now March Sky couldn't show up at all. Once they showed up, it was hard to guarantee what the agitated fans would do.

In excitement, even idols would be beaten!

"65%, this is the company's bottom line. If March Sky doesn't agree to this profit-sharing ratio, then there's no need to talk later!"

The CEO of Tian Ding Entertainment said with a tired expression.

These days, March Sky's fans make trouble at the company entrance every day, disturbing the travel safety of everyone in the company.

And the company can only bear it!

Because the fans only gather at the main entrance, they disperse immediately when the police come, and gather again when the police leave. It's impossible for the police to watch Tian Ding Entertainment 24H.

Coupled with the fact that the renewal contract with March Sky hasn't been signed, the company can't let March Sky post a blog to express their position.

Once they post a blog, countless fans will question them why they want to disband!

If March Sky doesn't give a clear reply, perhaps they will lose a large number of fans.

What Tian Ding Entertainment wants is for each member to maintain high popularity after developing independently, rather than each retreating into ordinary first-tier stars.

So Tian Ding Entertainment doesn't want to wait any longer.

March Sky's contract expires in June, and Tian Ding Entertainment must reach a renewal with March Sky in April!

Zhang Guang looked at the CEO and said unmoved: "The bottom price they want is 70%."

The CEO rubbed his eyebrows: "The company has never offered 70% to popular artists, unless March Sky is outdated."

But March Sky is far beyond the outdated standard determined by Tian Ding Entertainment.

Even if it's an ordinary first-tier artist, as long as there is a group of loyal fans supporting them, they are not outdated.

Zhang Guang: "You can set a precedent for March Sky, letting them, who have the strongest money-making ability, enjoy the best profit-sharing treatment."

The CEO looked up, his eyes sharp: "Impossible!"

"Tian Ding has never set a precedent for offering 70% to popular artists, never!"

"Zhang Guang, you know this opening cannot be opened. Once it is given to March Sky, other artists will make the same request."

Don't worry about scarcity, worry about inequality; it's just that simple.

Zhang Guang said expressionlessly: "They want 70%, this is the final bottom line."

CEO: "The company can make concessions in other aspects, such as co-branded products—"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a noise came from outside, and a group of Board of Directors' princes led by He Yan broke into the CEO's office.

The assistant's voice of wanting to stop but not wanting to stop came—

"The CEO is negotiating with people, you can't go in."

"Get out of the way!"

He Yan kicked open the opaque glass door that was not locked with his feet in a violent temper.

Zhang Guang saw this scene, feeling a bit regretful in his heart: If it was locked, how wonderful it would be, he could see a great spectacle.

In a company with an unknown number of billions, a PR department head, just relying on the identity of a Board of Directors' prince, dared to kick the door of the CEO's office!

This kick was not the youthful vigor of a young man, but the face of a CEO.

Unfortunately, the door was not locked.

The door was kicked open with one foot, and He Yan broke in arrogantly.

The young man Zhang Guang had seen when eating with the department head was also inside, as well as the young man who appeared in the confidential meeting room discussing the contract, and some people who had never appeared in Tian Ding Entertainment but had positions in the company.

They were all very young without exception.

He Yan stared fiercely at Zhang Guang, "Uncle, don't listen to his ghost talk. He has already established a company in secret, wanting to jump ship, and wants to dig March Sky away!"

As soon as the words fell, the assistants, department heads, and managers who wanted to stop but arrived late were all stunned.

The CEO's face changed greatly, and he roared: "Close the door!"

He Yan walked to the door, and the CEO roared again: "You go out too, you can't come in without my permission!"

He Yan and other young people paused.

The CEO was rarely furious: "Are you the CEO or am I the CEO? I haven't resigned yet, all get out!"

The young people's faces changed, and finally they left.

But before leaving, everyone didn't forget to stare at Zhang Guang.

In the office, the CEO was silent.

Zhang Guang broke the silence first and said: "CEO, I have worked in Tian Ding Entertainment for 15 years. Six years ago, I excavated March Sky. Five years ago, they participated in the talent show and became popular. I treat them like sons."

"Before I met them, March Sky already had two to three years of trainee experience. This is a group of teenagers chasing dreams. That snowy night that winter, I saw them and promised to give them the best treatment and bring them out."

He said word by word: "I cannot let them down!"

The CEO roared in a low voice: "But Tian Ding Entertainment has also been kind to you. Is this how you repay the company? You have protected March Sky these years, it is the company helping you cover the bottom, it is the company giving you confidence!"

Zhang Guang was silent.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I know, you gave me great authority, allowing me to shape them, and also allowing them to avoid many big troubles."

"If Tian Ding Entertainment didn't have ideas about March Sky, I wouldn't want to leave the company, and they wouldn't want to leave the company either."

"But look at those young people who broke in, arrogant and domineering, doing things without considering the consequences. Such important things are not reported to you privately but are shaken out in public (if the news is spread, Tian Ding Entertainment will only be at a disadvantage). Tian Ding Entertainment chose them, which is self-destruction."

"I don't think that group of people can lead Tian Ding to go on!"

"You don't want March Sky, but this is my son, I must arrange them well!"

"And you." Zhang Guang's voice became more hoarse.

"You can let the company you built collapse. You can be cruel, why can't I?"

The CEO looked decadent.

"Zhang Guang, my power in the Board of Directors is too small, I can't stop it."

Zhang Guang stood up and said loudly: "Help me pass a message to those people on the Board of Directors. If they want to make things big and expose March Sky's black material, just wait for those brands to demand huge liquidated damages and see if Tian Ding Entertainment can afford to pay!"

At this moment, he walked out with his chest held high and proudly. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
