Chapter 68

Sister Fang called Jin Li early the next morning.

She specifically timed it.

It was just when Jin Li had finished worshipping Mazu and bought breakfast back to the hotel.

Before, she went to the Tianxuan Temple with Jin Li and experienced the days of cultivating one's body and nature in the Daoist temple, so she already knew very well Jin Li's mysterious worship of the Daoist temple.

She is not clear about others, but if it were Jin Li, Sui Lingfang has no doubt that when Jin Li decides to retire from the entertainment industry, the thing she most wants to do is definitely to stay in the Daoist temple.

Even if she were a sweeping aunt, she would be happy.

On the phone.

Sui Lingfang said vigorously: "I received your message last night. Let me tell you my thoughts first.

I investigated Xinyue Entertainment. To be honest, this second-tier company is more capable than our company, and it is relatively lucky.

They have always had resources in the film and television circle, have cooperated with some directors, and hold some micro-video competitions every year to discover new directors.

I say it is lucky because according to Xinyue's development plan, the first-tier star they first supported should be in the film and television circle; I didn't expect them to support Qiu Qiwen first.

So this makes their resources a bit conflicting and unable to keep up with Qiu Qiwen's requirements, but because of their strength in the film and television circle, they can also pull some top resources for her.

If you have the intention to develop in the film and television circle in the future, relying on this opportunity to lay a good foundation with Xinyue Entertainment is worth it."

Sui Lingfang said this, a bit unwilling.

In the final analysis, Chenxi Entertainment's resources still cannot keep up, and they can only rely on announcement merchants to take the initiative to find Jin Li, unable to actively pull resources for Jin Li in the film and television aspect.

If the company's hard power kept up, then there would be no need to pay attention to the olive branch handed over by Xinyue Entertainment.

Jin Li thought for a while and said: "Sister Fang, you know, I didn't want to participate in the 4th season originally. If I can hook up with Xinyue Entertainment by being low-key, I am willing.

But there is a problem. This is just a private communication between me and Qiu Qiwen. I am not sure about Xinyue Entertainment's thoughts."

This kind of resource exchange is useless for stars to talk to stars; both companies must confirm the intention of cooperation so that it won't be easy to turn against each other.

Sui Lingfang said: "Okay, I know your thoughts here. I will contact Qiu Qiwen's manager."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Li also made a call to Qiu Qiwen.

When she left yesterday, she and Qiu Qiwen exchanged phone numbers, saying to contact if there is anything.

Jin Li told Qiu Qiwen her thoughts. Qiu Qiwen had just woken up, and her expression was still a bit ignorant.

Jin Li's "willing to cooperate" smashed over, immediately making her sober up a bit.

Qiu Qiwen said: "Okay, I will tell my manager."

She hadn't told her manager about the resource exchange yet, but as long as Jin Li agreed, she had ways to persuade her.

After Jin Li hung up the phone, Qiu Qiwen also hurriedly called the company.

Time flew by, and it came to the recording site of the fourth season of 《PICK~Next Station Queen》.

This time it was recorded in advance again.

The list of trainees eliminated in the previous season still has to wait three days to be finally determined.

As long as it is not the last moment, the ranking cannot be settled, so the existing teams all have to perform.

It was also on this day that the second advertisement Jin Li filmed for Duomi Cosmetics was officially launched!

The advertisement was released on Duomi Cosmetics' blog. Once launched, it reached millions of views in half an hour.

In the video.

Jin Li was wearing a black cheongsam, slowly strolling on the bustling pedestrian street.

The surroundings were full of red lights and green wine, and countless signs were flickering, giving a sense of paper-drunk and gold-obsessed.

Under the boundless night sky, the sequins on Jin Li's clothes were looming, as if dotted with stars and galaxies, and every step she took was swaying with charm.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to say the scenery set off the person, or the person set off the scenery.

She picked up a drink and sipped it slowly, greeted her passing friends with a smile, and after entering the store, she tapped her fingertips and bought many items casually: clothes, bags, shoes, perfume...

After shopping, Jin Li returned to the apartment.

The indoor light wasn't that bright, turning into a soft warm yellow, with a dreamlike feeling.

Jin Li sat in front of the vanity mirror, tilted her head slightly, her expression showing a bit of exhaustion, and looked at herself in the mirror with some confusion.

She suddenly opened the eyeshadow box, crushed the rose-colored powder with her fingertips, and drew casually in front of the mirror.

One stroke, two strokes, three strokes...

A small fish was born nimbly under her hands.

Jin Li couldn't help but smile.

【Ah ah ah, sister kills me! My life is all yours!】

【So sweet, I'm going to be drunk to death in her dimples!】

【The sweet-smiling Li Bao is the cutest. The domineering female president style in the opening scene stunned me!】

The video continued, and Jin Li began to remove her makeup.

The makeup removal here was accelerated, and it was all removed after a few seconds.

Jin Li lowered her head to clean up the cotton pads, looked up at the mirror, and suddenly raised her cheeks, facing the koi in the mirror.

The rose-colored koi was gently printed on her cheek.

【Ah ah ah, full marks for details!】

【My god, so beautiful!】

【Am I the only one who feels that the quality of Duomi Cosmetics' eyeshadow is very good? It can actually be so pigmented on the mirror!】

Jin Li, who had removed her makeup, pushed the door open. Her best friends were already waiting for her in the living room. Everyone drank drinks, ate fried chicken, sang K... and played to their heart's content.

At the end of the advertisement, Jin Li's voice came—

"Life is diverse, anyone can choose the way they like, you are already very beautiful."

Netizens who finished watching the advertisement all gave it a like.

【No product was promoted throughout the whole process, and not a word about Duomi Cosmetics was mentioned, but Duomi Cosmetics was being talked about throughout the whole process】

【The highest realm of advertising is to make people watch it, with silence winning over sound!】

【There was no promotion, but this advertisement made me feel warm after watching it. I suddenly want to buy Duomi Cosmetics】

【Finally, appearance anxiety is no longer marketed. Jin Li, I'm crying to death, you filmed it so well, woo woo!】

【I asked a friend who works at Duomi Cosmetics. He is a senior manager and revealed a piece of news to me. It is said that the idea for this advertisement was proposed by Jin Li. A senior executive supported Jin Li very much, so he made the decision to film according to Jin Li's idea.

If it weren't for that senior executive being so firm, this advertisement probably wouldn't be in this style. Really thank him for his discerning eyes!】

【Is the advertising industry finally going to make its own voice heard?!】

【Everyone, let's roll up according to this standard. I've already started to hate that kind of hard-stuffed advertising!】

Duomi Cosmetics launched this advertisement simultaneously and also conducted placement simultaneously.

From this day on, many people brushed up on this advertisement when surfing the Internet and remembered Duomi Cosmetics one after another.

Two hours after the advertisement was launched, the official flagship stores of Duomi Cosmetics on every shopping platform! Exploded! Orders!

President Nan specifically sat in the sales department to listen to their online sales feedback while confirming the heat of the advertisement.

"How much is the hot search?"

"#Jin Li wears a cheongsam to endorse Duomi# has already rushed to the first place. The reviews are overwhelming, especially our eyeshadow, which has been asked about by many netizens in the comments."

"How is the inventory of goods?"

"Every platform has exploded with orders. According to this trend, I'm afraid it will be sold out tonight."

As this employee was speaking, he suddenly yelled, "The Pinduoduo platform is already out of stock. President Nan, are we still going to do the ten-thousand-person group-buying lucky charm set?"

Other employees also said: "The inventory on the Taobao platform is not much either. President Nan, our promotional activities haven't been launched yet. Are we going to push them out now? According to the current momentum, the activities haven't been launched yet, and I'm afraid they will all be out of stock."

President Nan's complexion changed, and he was hesitating.

Previously, he was worried that the response to this advertisement would not be good, so he applied for a new product sales activity.

For Jin Li's first advertisement, Duomi Cosmetics focused on foundation and lipstick.

For the second advertisement, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it focused on eyeshadow and makeup remover.

The sales activity was naturally a bundled sale of eyeshadow and makeup remover.

While he was hesitating, another employee said: "President Nan, the eyeshadow here at Xidong is all sold out."

"President Nan, the eyeshadow and makeup remover here at Taobao are gone. I found that other products in the same series are also being cleared out rapidly."

"President Nan, the big data on customer purchases within two hours is out. Customers are more inclined to buy the full set of 【Koi Good Luck Makeup】 products!"

"President Nan, are we still going to do this activity?" someone asked again.

President Nan slapped the table and said excitedly: "Do what? Don't do it!

The goods are about to be sold out, which proves that they are not worried about selling. Why do any activities? Do it when it can't be sold. Hurry up and cancel those activities I applied for before!"

And here at Jin Li's.

She was still unaware of the newly launched advertisement.

When the advertisement was launched, Sister Fang sent her a WeChat message and shared the link. She also didn't follow the recording today and was increasingly at ease with Jin Li.

Jin Li was recording seriously and didn't look at her phone.

This recording lasted for two hours.

This time the girl groups finally didn't cry, Jin Li didn't say anything cheesy, and the comments of other mentors were also normal.

Everyone has a bright future!

The halftime break ended, Jin Li felt that her state could still hold up, so she continued recording. This time she changed seats and sat with Qiu Qiwen.

Since she had reached a cooperation with Qiu Qiwen's company, besides being low-key, Jin Li also wanted to see if she could help Qiu Qiwen pull some camera time.

It's a matter of mutual benefit. Help if you can; anyway, it has no effect on her.

During this recording, Jin Li specifically observed Qiu Qiwen and found that her comments were actually quite good, more professional than Lian Baozhi, but she just seemed too professional, leading to being a bit serious.

Variety shows want a cheerful attribute; even if you are serious, you have to speak in the right way.

So Jin Li often added one or two sentences after Qiu Qiwen finished commenting, making the overall atmosphere more relaxed, which could be considered as playing the straight man for Qiu Qiwen.

The trainees couldn't feel this change in wind direction, but Lian Baozhi could feel it.

It was break time again.

Lian Baozhi went to the restroom and bumped into Ji Qinglian.

Both of them were standing in front of the mirror touching up their makeup. Lian Baozhi specifically asked: "Did you have a falling out with Jin Li? Why is she helping Qiu Qiwen pull camera time and not helping you pull camera time?"

Ji Qinglian glanced at her and didn't speak.

Lian Baozhi smiled, "Qinglian, you and I are artists from the same company. You and her are already in the past, and you are not in the same company, so you can't support each other. If you cooperate with me and squeeze out Jin Li's camera time—"

Ji Qinglian shook the water droplets on her hands and interrupted: "Do you think it's still interesting to compare with her now?"

Lian Baozhi frowned slightly.

Ji Qinglian took a tissue to wipe her hands and said lightly: "There is also a difference between first-tier stars. She just didn't encounter the selection. When the selection month comes, you see if Jin Li can reach the first tier.

Besides, she has popularity when she wants popularity, and reputation when she wants reputation. Where do you get the confidence to compare with her, and where do you get the confidence to be better than her?"

Ji Qinglian turned around, looked down at Lian Baozhi, and said slowly: "Baozhi, I think people should have self-knowledge, but you seem—"

Her tone paused, and she gave her a brilliant smile, "Always unable to recognize your own positioning."

Lian Baozhi stared at Ji Qinglian's back, clenched her fists, took a few deep breaths, and fiercely pulled out a few tissues to wipe her hands.

On the other side, here at Jin Li's.

She took out her phone to look and finally discovered her newly launched advertisement.

Gu Cheng was sitting next to her, holding a book, preparing to discuss a question with her.

He naturally knew how to do it.

But this question had a strong deceptive nature; one must understand the essence of the theorem to be able to solve it. He wanted to see if Jin Li could solve it.

Turning his head, he saw her looking at her phone seriously, her eyes shining brightly.

Gu Cheng asked: "What are you doing?"

Jin Li: "Watching the advertisement. The second advertisement I filmed for Duomi Cosmetics has been released."

He leaned closer, "Let me see too. I heard this advertisement was filmed very interestingly, and it was your suggestion?"

Jin Li looked at him curiously, "How do you know?"

Gu Cheng smiled: "There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. If you want people not to know, you must not do it yourself."

Chen Lin pushed the door and came in. Seeing both of them staring at the phone, he also followed over to look.

This look was extraordinary.

"Wow, this advertising creativity is great. I also want to film such an advertisement!"

"What advertisement?"

Ji Qinglian just pushed the door and came in when she heard Chen Lin's shouting.

"Sister Jin Li's new advertisement, it's quite good. Not a word about the brand was introduced, but the core that the brand wants to promote was expressed throughout the whole process."

Everyone watched it several times and expressed their opinions one after another, all feeling it was good.

Gu Cheng asked: "Is it difficult to draw a fish with eyeshadow?"

Jin Li shook her head: "Drawing isn't difficult, it's just a bit difficult to color in the mirror. Fortunately, its eyeshadow has good pigmentation, so I drew it in two or three strokes."

Luo Yi was a bit surprised: "Listening to what you mean, you drew this yourself?"

Jin Li nodded: "Yes, I drew the fish myself."

"That fish looks very cute. Sister Jin Li, can you draw one for me too? I feel like I can get some good luck."

Just as Chen Lin made the request, the face approaching Jin Li was pushed back by a hand.

"Draw what? You're a man wearing a koi makeup, aren't you ashamed?"

Gu Cheng pulled Chen Lin away and incidentally stuffed the book in his hand to Jin Li, "There's still some time, do this question first."

Jin Li nodded, "OK!"

She specifically told Chen Lin: "It can't be drawn today. I'll draw it for you when I have time in the future."

Chen Lin nodded hurriedly. He decided to draw a koi on his face and then go scratch cards.

Who said a koi must be a woman? He just wants to be a male koi!
