Chapter 599: Interview from Official Media!

Since Jin Li's livestream was cut off at Cat Claw, Chenxi Entertainment, due to the influence on the internet, let Jin Li stop livestreaming.

Wait until the storm completely subsides before opening the broadcast.

During this period of suspension, Jin Li was constantly confirming her future announcement itinerary.

Because the college entrance exam had to clear the itinerary for several months, it seemed that it was returned after that, and there were arrangements every day.

Even if she is still living in Chenxi Entertainment, there are still announcements!

Yes, people from China News want to interview Jin Li.

China News is a first-class media in

When interviewing celebrities, China's official media will also investigate their political background.

Only after confirming that three generations of their family have a clean record with no blemishes, and that the individual themselves has no stains, will they proceed with the interview and promotion.

And to meet the requirements for an interview with China News, that celebrity must be exceptionally outstanding.

Jin Li happened to satisfy this condition.

She has a good image, works hard enough, possesses an elegant temperament, and with the aptitude of an ordinary person, she gained admission to the nation's most prestigious university through long-term persistence.

This story sounds inspiring just by hearing it, and she can become a role model for external publicity.

After learning of Jin Li's scores, China News contacted her very actively, hoping to use her achievements to inspire thousands of examinees.

When the staff at Chenxi Entertainment received the email from China News requesting an interview, they all thought they had misread it; later, they checked the address on the email one by one, confirmed it was a genuine official email address, and immediately told Sui Lingfang.

Sui Lingfang immediately called the number provided in the email.

Upon confirming that Jin Li might not be able to go to the television station for the interview, the person from China News immediately said, "Is Jin Li at the company? If she cannot come over, we can go there."

Sui Lingfang hesitated slightly and said, "That wouldn't be very appropriate, would it? If it gets out, would it violate your taboos, or would your people think Jin Li is acting like a diva?"

She was not only worried about the website's staff thinking she was acting like a diva, but also worried that netizens would think Jin Li had become arrogant after learning about it.

The person on the other end immediately said, "Not at all, not at all. Because we only select the most outstanding artists for interviews, it often happens that artists cannot make it to the studio.

You know XXX, right? This is the celebrity we interviewed in our last season. After we finalized him, he was filming on set, and the production team couldn't let him leave, so we went to the set ourselves to interview him.

And there was the XXX before that; she was winning an award abroad at the time, and we also personally traveled abroad to interview her."

Sui Lingfang had turned on the recording while talking to the person from China News on the phone.

Now, hearing them say this, she felt even more relieved.

It seems they are also often chasing hot topics and current events, so that's fine.

She said Jin Li was free for the next week, and the people from China News didn't dawdle, setting the interview for the very next day.

Inside Chenxi Entertainment.

The company was especially lively today; many celebrities who rarely came to the company were here, and the trainees were all gathered together.

Everyone was excitedly discussing the news about Jin Li.

Even though her scores were no longer the latest news, they had triggered a very powerful long-tail effect.

It is foreseeable that until school starts in September, Jin Li will remain a topic of conversation for many people.

And every year during the college entrance exam season, her story and scores will be brought up again, enduring and never fading.

"I clicked on Jin Li's previous live stream video this morning, and Maozhua told me the traffic was too high and asked me to visit later. They actually crashed!"

"This bug hasn't been fixed yet, and it's already noon. Netizens say the storage video lines and the live stream lines don't use the same server. Because too many people are visiting, the servers Maozhua ordered aren't enough and need to be upgraded."

The artists were discussing Jin Li's scores, and everyone felt a sense of shared honor!

Since her scores were made public yesterday, all of their announcement resources had visibly improved, and the quality of the variety shows they participated in was getting better and better.

Their managers said that if the company hadn't limited the number of recent announcements, the offers coming to their door could have filled their schedules for a whole week!

However, everyone knew that the reason those offer-makers were looking for them was that they all wanted to get news about Jin Li from their mouths.

The reason these people were still sitting here was that Jin Li was currently doing an interview with the people from China News in the conference room not far ahead.

These people all wanted to show their faces in front of the China News staff and leave an impression.

At the same time, they also wanted to show their faces in front of Jin Li, hoping for her guidance in the future if there was an opportunity.

They had inquired clearly: Jin Li had a very good temper. If they met outside, as long as they could find a topic to chat about, Jin Li would listen and then converse with them for a few sentences.

They came here this time because they wanted to be able to create topics in the future!

To avoid only being able to dryly say "Hello, Senior Sister" when meeting Jin Li outside.

Of course, there were also some artists who came purely to see Jin Li and worship this great god.

The people outside the conference room were waiting excitedly, while inside, Jin Li and the China News staff were having a heated discussion.

Skipping a long string of opening remarks, the host finally began to ask:

"I've read a lot of news about you online, especially your self-account of your past life on the live streaming site. So, is the reason you've always wanted to go to college because working was too bitter?"

Jin Li nodded: "Yes, working was very bitter. Back then, I spent all day thinking about whether I would become different from who I am now if I had continued my studies."

Host: "After you became a celebrity, your living conditions were worry-free. Why did you still want to go?"

Jin Li said: "Because being a celebrity is also bitter!"

The host was stunned for a moment; this answer was quite unexpected.

Celebrities who have reached a certain status rarely promote the idea that this job is bitter, and the outside world assumes these hardships are what this profession should endure.

Jin Li said: "Celebrities have to provide people with good emotional value. You have to keep smiling every moment, and you have to pay attention to your appearance and grooming. You have to be exquisite at all times, maintain your weight, and have abundant physical strength... These are actually not simple things to accomplish."

She recalled the images in her mind: "Especially when your physical strength is poor, your body is average, and you have to hold one busy concert after another.

Some cities are very large, and there are a lot of audience members, so you have to add shows, holding concerts for two or three days in a row. This is actually very terrifying for me.

Many people will think it's because you want to make money that you keep adding shows, but in fact, many times we have no choice. Some artists or groups that become popular right after their debut actually have no right to choose.

Even for me now, having struggled in the industry for many years and seemingly having many choices, once I get to the scene, I often can only follow the arrangements.

I think this profession can be described as 'an arrow shot has no turning back.' There are many unexpected situations on site, and often only the celebrity can come forward to appease them, even if it's not my responsibility."

Jin Li walked out of her memories and smiled: "However, the hardship of being a celebrity matches this income. Many people are dying to suffer and are willing to pay with abundant physical strength just to earn a little more money."

The host asked many questions, and this interview was extended from the originally scheduled two hours to two and a half hours.

At the end, the host mentioned a question that netizens were very concerned about.

"You said you wanted to say goodbye to the past and start a brand new life, so everyone is worried that you will retire from the industry.

What I want to ask is, do you have other ideas? Besides being a celebrity, do you want to try another kind of life? Does this have anything to do with the university you want to attend and the major you chose?"

Jin Li said: "First of all, I want to clarify one point: I will not retire from the industry. Although being an artist is very tiring for me and my body is actually a bit weak, being an artist also has many benefits.

I have always felt that an individual's voice is too small, but when the voices of countless people gather together, it becomes a massive force.

As a celebrity, it is very easy for me to twist the voices of many people into one. I think this identity is very good; I can use it to do many meaningful things and better give back to society."

Jin Li suddenly asked the host back: "Do you believe in cause and effect?"

The host was stunned: "What?"

Jin Li: "You reap what you sow.

Everyone likes me very much and wants me to continue this career. I often think, is my becoming an artist also what society hopes for me?

But why should it give me this benefit?

I can become famous mostly because I stepped on the trend of the era, so I think it's hard for anyone to replicate me or become me, because my success is more created by the era, and has very little to do with individual effort."

Jin Li couldn't help but smile when she said this: "After all, my physical strength wasn't enough before; if I were put in the present, I would probably be scolded into retiring."

The host also smiled, "So you want to do something for society, for this era?"

Jin Li put away the smile on her face, her expression very solemn: "Yes."

"The era created me, and society gave me wealth, so I also want to give back to the era and society, and speak up for more meaningful things that need to be inherited. This will also become one of the focuses of my future work."

After the interview ended.

The people from China News wrote an article reporting on this interview, in which a paragraph read:

【Jin Li believes that her success is created by the imprint of the era, but I don't think so. From her, I saw humility, low-key behavior, and a love for life.

A person who is so strict with herself and perseveres will shine in any era.

She is the artist with the strongest sense of social responsibility among all the new generation of artists I have ever met. Every step she takes is very clear, and she is clearer about what she wants to do than her peers.

From Jin Li, I saw the attitude of contemporary youth. She is so broad and vast, with a kind of radiance emanating from the inside out.】

Inside Chenxi Entertainment.

The interview was extended by half an hour and ended smoothly. A group of people came out of the conference room and were greeted by the cheers of many artists and managers; it was very lively.

The reporter from China News couldn't help but say: "Your company is the management company with the best atmosphere I have ever seen. In other companies, it is rare to see artists so lively and playful."

Sui Lingfang took a group of managers to host the China News staff for a meal; this lunch was something she had pestered them for a long time to get.

The people from China News originally planned to leave immediately after the interview, but later, using the excuse "Don't you want to see what the company Jin Li chose is like?", they persuaded this group of people to stay for a while to take a look.

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "Perhaps it's because our company is young enough and small enough."

"As the company grows bigger, perhaps the system will become stricter, with clear distinctions between superiors and subordinates, but I hope this touch of human warmth can be preserved. It is one of our company's corporate cultures."

"Sister Jin Li!"

Compared to the people from China News, the artists were obviously more enthusiastic about Jin Li. Several trainees even boldly walked over and mentioned their recent training to Jin Li.

Seeing this, the reporter couldn't help but ask: "Does Jin Li always get along well with the company's artists?"

Sui Lingfang looked over and smiled: "If I said she has a good relationship with all the artists in the company, that would be too fake."

The reporter also laughed.

Sui Lingfang: "Chenxi currently has thirty artists, and fifty trainees have been signed. With so many people, it's impossible for Jin Li to know them all.

What you see are the trainees in our company. They participated in a talent variety show before, and the process wasn't very pleasant. Jin Li knew this was the first boy group the company wanted to launch, so she specifically met with them after they were eliminated to encourage them."

The reporter asked in surprise: "Was this Jin Li's own initiative?"

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Yes, she said she had team experience and could give them some advice from someone who had been there. It just so happens that the artists in the company seem to worship her quite a bit, and she also wanted to meet the newly signed artists."

The reporter said: "Jin Li seems to care very much about young artists."

Sui Lingfang agreed immensely: "That's right. She often takes her own announcements and shares them with other artists, and the company didn't require her to do so. These were all her own initiatives.

Jin Li believes that people are living and resources are dead. She can't finish all those resources, so she pushes the company's artists up. She pushes as many as she can; don't waste resources."

Upon hearing this, the reporter teased: "It's a pity that Chenxi Entertainment isn't listed, otherwise you should give Jin Li some shares. I feel she cares more about the company's development than many others."

Sui Lingfang didn't speak, but she thought the same in her heart.

This reporter was her soulmate!

Chenxi Entertainment could develop into what it is today, and Jin Li definitely deserves the credit.

If the president hadn't used Jin Li's fame to recruit people, it would have been impossible to recruit such excellent trainees so quickly, and the business wouldn't have advanced so fast.

Because Chenxi Entertainment's foundation is very weak and it has no connections in the industry, the reason most of the artists can get announcements is because of Jin Li.

Jin Li thinks Chenxi gave her great freedom, but isn't she also a benefactor to Chenxi?

The reporter looked around Chenxi Entertainment and had other thoughts in mind. In the subsequent interview and promotional article, he specifically mentioned the company, Chenxi Entertainment.

【After Jin Li became popular again and re-entered the public eye, many people only focused their attention on Jin Li herself, ignoring the company behind her.

A relaxed and free atmosphere, no sense of hierarchy, young, upward, and energetic—a free and easy company culture might be the key to being able to carry an artist like Jin Li.

Artists are not products packaged for sale, but people with thoughts. A free, unconstrained soil might be the only thing that can create and bind a unique soul.】
