Chapter 617

Today's promotional announcements involved traveling to various places to promote, rather than holding a film press conference.

Jin Li stayed with the crew for a day, running a total of 4 promotional events: one in the morning, one at noon, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

She worked continuously without stopping to rest, and even ate her meals in the car while it was driving to the next promotional spot.

It wasn't just Jin Li; all the crew members were this busy.

Some supporting actors, although they basically couldn't get the interview microphone and didn't have to rack their brains to answer questions, appearing very relaxed, being a vase is also a technical job.

Standing in one place for a long time without being allowed to speak or move around is also very uncomfortable.

Talking actually helps to distract one's attention.

So everyone was very tired.

But this hardship was worth it!

Every time they arrived at a promotional site and heard the fans in the audience shouting the name of "Dawn", no matter how many times it happened, it was heart-stirring.

Every time, it made one's heart race, and one felt honored to be a part of it.

——How fortunate, this is the film I participated in!

Even Jin Li had this feeling; from the shouts of the enthusiastic fans at the scene, she felt everyone's satisfaction with the film "Dawn".

Today was probably the last itinerary of the month with the crew, so Jin Li forcibly endured the fatigue of her body and cheered herself up to face the fans with a smile.

Such high-intensity exposure would be too much for even a normal person to handle, let alone Jin Li, whose body was already weak.

Even though her physical condition had been improving daily since the college entrance exam results came out, she still couldn't handle it.

So after the evening promotion was over, she had no strength left and collapsed on the back seat of the car.

Chen Qin sat in the front row, turning her head from time to time to look at the back row. Seeing Jin Li looking so listless, she said with some worry:

"How about I take you to the hospital? Your physical condition looks a bit bad."

Jin Li took a deep breath and shook her head: "No need, just let me rest for a while."

She smiled and said casually: "If you take me to the hospital, the doctor probably won't find anything and will just think I'm quite healthy."

Chen Qin:?

She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and urged Jin Li to rest quickly.

After giving her instructions, Chen Qin picked up her tablet, organized Jin Li's recent announcements, and started writing and drawing.

About 10 minutes later, she glanced back at the back again, worried, and froze.

She had assumed Jin Li was resting by sleeping, but it turned out she was doing practice problems?!

Chen Qin thought she had seen wrong, blinked her eyes, and then opened them wide to look back again.

Hmm, after confirming the look again, that bright notebook had a few large characters on it—

"Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulation: Chinese College Entrance Exam Sprint Edition"

Chen Qin's mouth hung wide open, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

This, this, this...

My artist has already been admitted to university, why is she still grinding?

Could it be that she is dissatisfied with this score and plans to go back and reshape it?

Don't, wow, grinding once is enough, don't grind a second time, wow!!

If Jin Li really retook the college entrance exam next year because she was dissatisfied with her score, Chen Qin didn't know how Morning Dawn Entertainment would react, but she knew the netizens would definitely lose it.

Is this the world of geniuses???

Perhaps Chen Qin's gaze was too aggressive, causing even Jin Li, who had entered a state of concentration, to notice. She couldn't help but look up and happened to meet Chen Qin's complex gaze.

Silence, silence.

Silence is the Cambridge of tonight.

Seeing Chen Qin not speaking for a long time, Jin Li took the initiative to break the silence: "What's wrong?"

Chen Qin said with a complex expression: "Jin Li, are you dissatisfied with your college entrance exam score and planning to repeat a year?"

Jin Li looked down at the 'Five-Three' in her hand, feeling somewhat like crying, Chen Qin had misunderstood.

Please let me explain this... but I don't know how to explain it at all... forget it, I won't explain it.

Jin Li adjusted her mood, straightened her expression, and said: "No, I am very satisfied with my college entrance exam score, I have no plans to repeat, and I don't want to take the college entrance exam again."

"Because it was a bit boring lying in the chair, and I happened to see a 'Five-Three' in the interlayer in front, so I took it to do some problems. Don't worry, I'm just doing this as a hobby, there's no other meaning."

Chen Qin was speechless.

In the world of geniuses, doing practice problems is just a hobby; it's really hard to understand!

Chen Qin urged repeatedly: "Don't overwork your brain, don't overwork your eyes, it's a bit dark in the back, turn on the small light, tell me in time if you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself, we have at least a 5-hour drive back to Morning Dawn Entertainment this time."

Jin Li smiled and said okay, looking as obedient as could be.

But the next second, she lowered her head again and started doing problems again.

Chen Qin took a deep breath.

For the first time, she experienced the kind of powerlessness that Sister Fang described. This generation of artists is really hard to manage; they don't understand their world at all!!

It was already 8:30 PM when Jin Li finished the last promotional event of the evening with the crew.

She returned directly to Morning Dawn Entertainment without staying another night at the hotel.

By the time she returned to Morning Dawn Entertainment, it was past midnight.

Sui Lingfang hadn't fallen asleep; she had been working overtime at the company, waiting for Jin Li to return.

Receiving the message from Chen Qin, she specifically went to the underground parking garage and saw Jin Li, who was looking a bit listless.

At this time of night, it's normal for an artist to be low on energy.

Sui Lingfang didn't think much of it, gave her a big hug, and told her to go up and sleep quickly.

After Jin Li rested, she called Chen Qin over, her eyes filled with doubt.

"I didn't tell you to leave at noon? Why did you drag it until the evening to leave? Did you attend some crew party temporarily?"

Chen Qin shrank her body. She had originally wanted to help cover it up, but Sister Fang would definitely see the related news tomorrow, and Sister Jin Li's state tomorrow probably wouldn't be very good, so she simply said timidly:

"Sister Jin Li increased the announcements privately. She thought it was rare to come to the crew once, and wanted to give the crew more exposure. She is also a member of the crew, so she helps where she can."

Sui Lingfang felt her temples throbbing.

She took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally.

"So how many events did she run? I only arranged that one in the morning for her. Don't tell me she ran all day, running until the evening before coming back."

Chen Qin swallowed her saliva and said nervously: "Um, that's just as you thought, she ran all day, a total of 4 events, and only headed to the company after finishing the evening one."

Sui Lingfang's eyes widened first, then she looked at her as if she were looking at an ignorant child.

"Jin Li ran so many events, she must be very tired. You could have explained the reason to me, and then let her rest in the hotel for the night and come back the next day."

Chen Qin said weakly: "I said the same thing, but Jin Li refused. She said she wanted to fill out her volunteer application at the company as soon as possible, didn't want to fill it out outside, and didn't want to wait too long."

Sui Lingfang held her forehead.

It's not that Jin Li isn't good, it's just that sometimes she is so sensible it makes one's heart ache, making one wish she were more rebellious.

After a while, she thought of a solution and said: "Jin Li can't leave the company tomorrow, the paparazzi outside are all blocking the way. You were lucky not to be blocked when you came over this time."

"How about this, Jin Li's favorite thing is to go pray. Even if she can't go to the site to pray, she can pray through the mobile phone screen. Didn't she often ask you to take the phone to the Taoist temple outside and let her video call to pray for a while?"

Chen Qin nodded: "Right, when filming 'Dawn', the crew needed a lot of martial arts scenes, and it was very hard every day. Sister Jin Li prayed via video call quite frequently back then."

Sui Lingfang: "Then you go to the Taoist temple tomorrow, video call her so she can pray, and be happy."

Chen Qin said hesitantly: "Sister Fang, is this kind of thing really useful?"

Sui Lingfang: "I don't know if it's useful, but I think as long as she likes it."

Chen Qin thought it made a lot of sense and opened her phone to look for the nearest Taoist temple.

Before long, Sister Fang also joined in, discussing the scale of the Taoist temples, and finally decided on the one with the best incense for her.

Jin Li didn't expect that when she woke up the next morning, she would be able to enjoy the "loving prayer" from her manager and assistant.

When she woke up in the morning, Jin Li's body was still a bit uncomfortable.

Although she didn't have a fever, she felt dizzy and weak all over.

Running the announcements yesterday was still a bit too ruthless, with no rest throughout.

Even when there was a gap for rest, because she didn't need to take the college entrance exam anymore and stopped doing practice problems, she couldn't recover her energy.

When Jin Li got up, she thought she had to find a way to enter a state of concentration anytime, anywhere.

Doing practice problems was no longer an option, and reading books didn't have a strong effect on focusing.

Before long, her eyes lit up, and she thought of a way to enter a state of concentration very well—

Jigsaw puzzles or building models!

In this process, she had to discard external things and immerse herself wholeheartedly.

While looking for the pattern of every gap and buckle, she had to mobilize concentration; once she lost focus, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Jin Li just opened the Taobao page and typed in 'jigsaw puzzle', and what caught her eye was a picture of "Fish Playing with Lotus".

The lotus was beautiful, and the golden koi was also very cute, so she placed the order immediately.

Besides that, she also bought many landscape puzzles, each picture making one feel vibrant.

"Knock knock!"

The door was suddenly knocked on. Jin Li opened the door, and Sui Lingfang stood at the doorway, smiling kindly.

"At this time, I thought you should be awake. Your routine is still the same as before; you haven't slacked off just because you got into university."

Jin Li nodded, moved aside to let Sister Fang in, and poured her a glass of milk by the way.

Actually, her spirit was still a bit weak, and her limbs were sore and weak.

But she didn't want Sister Fang to worry too much, so she tried her best to keep herself looking as normal as before.

"Since you're awake, I have something to tell you."

Sister Fang suddenly took out her phone. Jin Li looked over, and on the screen, Chen Qin greeted her without speaking.

Jin Li was stunned. Chen Qin... eh, wait, why didn't she see Chen Qin knock on the door to call her today, but instead Sister Fang came over? Where did she go?

The next second, the camera flipped, and a statue of a deity appeared before her.

Jin Li was stunned again.

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "We all know you like going to Taoist temples; it makes you feel very good. You were too tired yesterday, and today you have to fill out your volunteer application, so you don't have time to go out."

"So I let Chen Qin make a trip, and you can pray via video call to relax your mood."

Jin Li bloomed with a big smile.

She said very sincerely and gratefully: "Sister Fang, you gave me this gift, I'm so happy, you saved my life!"

Sui Lingfang handed the phone to her, "I'll go out first. When you're ready, come out and go to the conference room downstairs. We'll fill out the volunteer application there and discuss your next work content by the way."

Jin Li carefully took the phone and said: "Okay."

Sui Lingfang instructed: "Happiness is the most important thing. If praying once isn't enough to make you happy, then let Chen Qin run more and pray to a few more."

Jin Li's eyes smiled like crescent moons, "One is enough, I'm very happy to see the deity."

Half an hour later, Jin Li came to the conference room and returned the phone to Sister Fang.

Sui Lingfang looked at Jin Li. She didn't know if it was because she had put on some light makeup, but she always felt her complexion was much better than when she first met her.

If Sister Fang knew Jin Li wasn't wearing any makeup at all, she would probably be even more surprised.

The others in the team looked at Jin Li as if they were looking at a God of Wealth. If they weren't discussing things, they would have shaken hands with Jin Li to rub off some wealth luck.

Just a moment ago, they calculated the fees for all the advertising endorsements and various variety show announcements Jin Li had received this month, and it had already exceeded 100 million!

Although Jin Li and Morning Dawn Entertainment have a 20/80 split, 20 million is also not a small amount for the company.

And what did the company pay for this?

Oh, the electricity and water bills for two floors.

The food expenses were all paid for by Jin Li herself!

Sui Lingfang looked at Jin Li and said: "Currently, many brands want to launch joint collaborations with you. I'll send you the list later."

"Besides the common bags, beauty products, and shoes, there are also various daily necessities in life that want to launch joint collaborations with you, such as laundry detergent, toothpaste, etc."

"By the way, are you interested in milk tea collaborations? A tea brand is very interested in you. Speaking of which, the name this brand chose is also quite interesting."

Jin Li asked curiously: "What's it called?"

Sui Lingfang: "It's called 'Koi Tea'."

"Such a coincidence?" Jin Li didn't quite believe it.

Sui Lingfang handed over the information on "Koi Tea", "It really is such a coincidence. The founder founded the company ten years ago and did it in the local county. Previously, they opened five stores, and this year it expanded to fifteen."

"Their president called the company, saying they wanted to cooperate with you, specifically emphasizing that for the 10 stores expanded this year, the investors were all aiming at the name, feeling that the two characters 'Koi' have a very good meaning, so they vigorously invested money for them to develop."

"The condition they offered is that if you launch joint products with them and become their brand ambassador, they can give you dry shares."

Jin Li thought for a moment and shook her head: "15 stores are still too few. Whether it can develop to the scale of a group still depends on their management."

"If there is no reasonable rules and regulations, blind expansion will face many problems. Let's talk about cooperation when they become more mature and become one of the top 5 tea brands in the industry."

Everyone discussed for a while, and soon it was time to fill out the volunteer application.
