Chapter 544
Chenxi Entertainment did not hide their intention of sending someone from Yu Yu Lin Ling to chat with Seeing Jin Li.
And on Yu Yu Lin Ling's side, they did not secretly go to meet Seeing Jin Li either.
Although the two parties scheduled their meeting within Chenxi Entertainment, they met in an open and aboveboard manner.
Before long.
Everyone at Chenxi Entertainment knew about it, and by extension, many people in the entertainment industry knew as well; the discussion, which was originally limited to a small group of people, had rapidly expanded.
Some paparazzi posted this news online, immediately sparking a discussion among netizens.
Many netizens believed that Seeing Jin Li's career luck this year was quite good.
【In the past, Seeing Jin Li didn't have many official endorsements, but each one was quite significant; this year, everything seems to be coming at once.】
【Yu Yu Lin Ling sent someone to meet with Seeing Jin Li, what are they talking about? Isn't it focused on making menswear?】
【Industry insiders all know that Yu Yu Lin Ling has always had the idea of making womenswear.】
【Big brands have sharp eyes; they know Seeing Jin Li's performance this time is stable, so they are rushing to send someone to communicate.】
Netizens were confused.
Many industry insiders were also confused.
They felt that Seeing Jin Li was somewhat counter-cyclical.
With the economy in a downturn, most artists have fewer announcements, and endorsements are not as good as before.
But look at Seeing Jin Li; the more other artists decline, the more Seeing Jin Li rises. Not to mention that her joint ventures are booming, she has even secured two new product endorsements.
First-tier artists at the same level as Seeing Jin Li all felt a sense of pressure.
Resources are limited.
Seeing Jin Li announced several endorsements during the economic downturn, so there were fewer left to be distributed to them.
Suddenly, the "college entrance exam hype" controversy, which had temporarily subsided, reappeared online.
However, this time, many netizens had learned to be smart and didn't jump into the trap immediately.
【I'm thinking, Seeing Jin Li hasn't even taken the college entrance exam yet; why don't we wait until she finishes the exam to hype it up, and then we can come back and scold her (smart).】
【To those saying she's hyping it up, why don't you learn from her and livestream reading every day? Never mind two hours, if you can persist in reading for one hour every day, I'll agree that you should follow the hype too.】
【If you can't eat the grapes, you say they're sour. This is her two years of persistence, which counts as making it through; if other artists want to try, we are also very welcome.】
This time, many internet trolls entered the fray, saying that Seeing Jin Li only relied on gimmicks to gain traffic and popularity, and that her actual strength was average.
And this time, Seeing Jin Li's official fan club responded very quickly, listing one by one the achievements Seeing Jin Li had made in the film and television dramas she participated in over the past two years.
Not to mention that every TV series was a hit, just look at "Dream Builder," which was a summer blockbuster last year.
Achieving the second-highest box office in the summer season is no joke.
【Others hype up gimmicks, relying on gimmicks to get something for nothing, but Seeing Jin Li relies on gimmicks to achieve the second-highest box office in last year's summer season; why don't you try hyping it up and see?】
【There's nothing to scold; she hasn't even taken the college entrance exam yet and you're already jumping out in a hurry. Did one meeting with Yu Yu Lin Ling make you so defensive? Why don't you let Yu Yu Lin Ling meet you too?】
At the same moment.
Lian Baozhi also saw the news online and was curious about "Yu Yu Lin Ling meeting with Seeing Jin Li."
She asked her manager, Lv Jieshan: "Has Yu Yu Lin Ling set its sights on Seeing Jin Li?"
Lv Jieshan couldn't be sure either.
Because very few luxury brand heads would go to see a star with such fanfare; if their public itinerary is leaked, then nine times out of ten, they are going to collaborate.
But...
How long has it been!
The news of Yu Yu Lin Ling selecting a global womenswear spokesperson just came out, and as a result, this opportunity is about to be snatched by Seeing Jin Li?
First there was Fang Fei's summer clothing, Ru Meng Ling's new perfume, and now Yu Yu Lin Ling's global womenswear?
Thinking of this, Lv Jieshan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Seeing Jin Li's current momentum reminded her of several stars.
And those stars, after experiencing a round of brand endorsement bombardment, some faded away, but others became even more dazzling and embarked on the path of international superstars.
The manager muttered in a low voice: "Something is wrong. Aren't they worried that Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam results will be very poor? Why are they making such a big fuss so quickly?"
She thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and made a call.
Before long, Lv Jieshan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, as if she had let out a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Lian Baozhi with burning eyes: "We were all fooled by Seeing Jin Li. Yu Yu Lin Ling is just talking to her first. A friend told me that Yu Yu Lin Ling's person in charge is currently meeting with a second female star, so the cooperation hasn't been finalized yet; Yu Yu Lin Ling is just looking at people on a large scale."
Lv Jieshan was happy, which meant that this big opportunity hadn't been decided yet.
Lian Baozhi was also a first-tier artist, and her momentum had been good recently. Lv Jieshan felt she could go and compete for it.
In the eyes of top first-tier artists, Yu Yu Lin Ling making womenswear is a new attempt; even if Yu Yu Lin Ling approaches them for an endorsement, they might not necessarily agree.
Brands choose artists, and artists also choose brands.
Top first-tier artists might look down on it, but a first-tier artist like Lian Baozhi would look up to it.
Who would complain about having too few endorsements? It's not like all artists only take the best.
Compared to the manager's joy, Lian Baozhi curled her lips, feeling that Yu Yu Lin Ling had no vision.
With Seeing Jin Li's drive to livestream studying every day, who could compare to Seeing Jin Li's upright image?
She also had a relative who was a high school senior. During the Chinese New Year this year, she met that relative and asked him if he knew about Seeing Jin Li's livestream room.
That relative was a cousin several generations removed, wearing student hair and glasses, with a few pimples on his forehead, and was silent at the dinner table.
But when he heard her ask about Seeing Jin Li, he actually raised his head and said excitedly:
"Cousin, do you also know about Seeing Jin Li's livestream room? I thought only we students would watch her livestream room to study."
Lian Baozhi smiled and said at the time: "I watch it occasionally when I'm free. Her livestream room has a magic that makes people quiet. Even if you don't do anything, just watching it makes people feel very calm."
"By the way, you are a high school senior and have also watched Seeing Jin Li's livestream room. What do you think of her grades?"
The cousin excitedly gave a thumbs up: "Very powerful, very powerful!"
Before she could ask, the cousin rattled off a lot: "The test papers she does are all from other provinces. That province is a major province for the college entrance exam, and the papers are famous for their high difficulty. Our school doesn't even let us do the papers from that province on weekdays, for fear of hitting our confidence!"
"Seeing Jin Li does those papers with ease. If she takes the college entrance exam in our province, it would be a dimensionality reduction strike, and she could easily get high scores in math and physics."
Hearing her cousin praise Seeing Jin Li, Lian Baozhi also felt a sense of honor on her face.
"Then do you think she can get into an undergraduate program?"
The cousin said confidently: "Definitely, undergraduate is easy. If her livestream room isn't lying, her grades should be able to get into a first-tier university."
The memory ended.
Lian Baozhi looked up at the manager who had let out a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart:
When Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam results come out, I'll scare you all!
Online.
Yu Yu Lin Ling's person in charge appeared at the second star's company, the trolls stopped attacking Seeing Jin Li, and the netizens' enthusiasm faded.
But because of this commotion online, very few people noticed a piece of news.
Zhang Guang took the Sanyuetian group to Tianding Entertainment!
While sitting in the car, Zhang Guang opened the trending search, saw the news about Seeing Jin Li, and shook his head with a laugh.
Some stars really have fate.
Either you steal my popularity, or I steal yours.
Either you help me divert attention, or I help you divert attention.
Every time netizens click on the trending search, they will find that Sanyuetian and a certain member of the Pink Girls will always appear in different news at the same time.
Although the content of their respective news is completely different, the time period for appearing on the hot list is very consistent.
Zhang Guang put away his phone and turned his head to say: "When we get to the company later, don't talk, I'll handle everything."
"If they say anything unpleasant, don't make a sound either. I'm worried they will secretly record it and catch your weak points."
In the entertainment industry, recording is a common method.
Many workplace palace drama plots are contributed by stars and companies fighting each other.
The Sanyuetian group nodded one after another.
Yan Xingdong asked: "Brother Guang, will the company expose our big news?"
Zhang Guang shook his head: "I left you a way out, don't worry, the company definitely doesn't want to pay a large amount of brand breach of contract fees, but—"
He changed the subject: "Your contract with the company expires in June. Due to the contract terms, the company will not take action against you before the contract expires."
"But once the contract is officially terminated, the company might find trolls to splash dirty water on you outside. They don't want your reputation to be good."
Regarding this, Zhang Guang was very calm.
"I'm not worried about these little tricks at all. If you really encounter rumors, send a lawyer's letter. As long as Tianding Entertainment doesn't come forward personally, everything is not a problem."
Regarding public relations, Sanyuetian couldn't bring any help to Zhang Guang either.
The only thing they could do was not hold him back.
Yan Xingdong specifically looked at Chen Lin; he wasn't worried about the others, just Chen Lin's mouth.
Chen Lin also knew his own nature, specifically took out two headphones, and said with a grin:
"When you are negotiating, I will listen to music, so I won't hear anything, that's fine, right?"
The others nodded with satisfaction.
If you don't listen, you'll be quiet; Little Lin has learned to be smart!
Soon, the Sanyuetian group, led by Zhang Guang, walked into the company.
This time, everyone in the company looked at them with complicated eyes.
As soon as Sanyuetian got into the elevator, the receptionists couldn't help but gather together to discuss.
"Are they back to negotiate the contract this time?"
"Will they renew the contract?"
"They should, right? The company took the initiative to announce such a good contract. Tianding Entertainment is a big company, and I have never seen such a high profit-sharing ratio given to popular artists!"
"But Brother Guang has experience and strength, and single-handedly made Sanyuetian popular. If he really goes out to start a company, Sanyuetian might go to support him."
A receptionist whispered: "Don't just discuss Sanyuetian, haven't you noticed that there have been many more veteran artists looking for the president these days?"
"I once heard someone walk in while on the phone, saying that the president gives newcomers such a high share, but gives veterans so little, which is unfair."
"Yes, these veterans are not reconciled, and they also feel aggrieved. I think even if Sanyuetian wants to sign this contract with Tianding, it will be very difficult."
At the same moment.
The Sanyuetian group walked into the president's office.
Several people looked at each other and felt a sense of solemnity in the air.
Just as Zhang Guang and Sanyuetian sat on the sofa, before they could speak, the door of the president's office was opened.
A veteran first-tier artist walked in. His temples were a bit gray, but his eyes were bright. Even though he was old, one could vaguely see his heroic style when he was young.
Everyone stood up, including Sanyuetian and others.
This veteran artist was one of the first batch of artists at Tianding Entertainment. Although he was still a first-tier star, he had already retired and had a good status in the hearts of many netizens.
For such veteran artists, netizens don't think they are artists, but "old artists."
"Teacher Wang, why are you here?" Zhang Guang asked humbly, bowing his head slightly.
The president's tone was equally respectful, "Old Wang, what do you have to discuss? I'll call someone to help you solve it, you don't need to come out personally."
Old Wang said lightly: "No, I came here this time to find you, the president."
Old Wang deliberately slowed down his movements, scanned Sanyuetian, and then focused his gaze on the president.
He said meaningfully: "President, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated, but the company cannot be too indulgent to them, giving them the best of everything; they will only think it's deserved, not grateful."
Zhang Guang and the president's faces changed slightly.
Old Wang: "When I was young, Tianding Entertainment encountered five crises. Three times they told me they couldn't go on and wanted to terminate my contract and set me free, but I chose to stay and advance and retreat with the company."
"In the end, I witnessed Tianding overcome one difficulty after another until it became the top company in the industry."
"The name of Tianding was never given by profit-sharing, but fought for by everyone working together. I only hope that the president will not break the rules that have been passed down."
He sighed heavily: "It's hard to turn a big ship. This time you gave others such good benefits, how do those veterans feel? The veterans only feel cold! Some people have fought for the company all their lives and cannot get 70% of the profit, but now it is obtained by a junior."
"I didn't want to come, but too many old friends called me to come, so I relied on my age to talk to you. Once some rules are broken, they can never be repaired."
"The company has been in turmoil recently, and I don't want you to make rash decisions in an irrational situation. Tianding Entertainment is everyone's company, not a team's company!"
Old Wang's words were obviously pointing at something.
Everyone knew who he was targeting.
After Old Wang finished speaking, he turned and left without looking back.
The Sanyuetian group looked at each other, and suddenly heard Chen Lin hum softly. They looked at him in unison, all a little envious.
If they had known, they would have put on headphones too.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, Zhang Guang sat down again and looked at the president.
The president took a deep breath and was about to speak, but at this moment, the office door was opened again.
This time, it was Ming Yingyue who walked in.
The president frowned slightly, feeling for the second time that the office door should be changed.
He took the phone handed by Ming Yingyue, and the caller ID indicated the words "Board of Directors - President Xiong."
