Chapter 720: Cohabitation Exposed

However, Chenxi Entertainment's response was not very effective.

Many people were only willing to believe what they wanted to believe.

【Jin Li still has so many high-end luxury endorsements on her back; she definitely can't issue a statement about retiring from the industry this year. The company must be helping her cover it up.】

【I've always felt that Jin Li is like a breeze drifting outside; only in film and television dramas can I see her human side.】

【Actually, I think it's quite good for Jin Li to keep being an actress. As long as she is still performing, I am willing to follow her.】

【Getting into Qingbei can be considered the peak of one's life. It's quite normal for her to want to retire for the sake of her studies.】

【Actually, don't you guys feel that Jin Li has always lacked a sense of being a "living person"?】

It's not that she has a faint sense of death, but rather she lacks that "living" quality; she seems to have no desires at all.

Acting is a rare way to amplify her desires, but even within the plays, her performance is extremely exquisite and precise, without a single flaw, yet the aura of a living person is insufficient.

But in the two works released recently, I have been able to feel her emotions, which is very rare.】

The rumors about "Jin Li retiring" on the internet were still spreading wildly, but fortunately, at this time, Jin Li announced a new endorsement.

——Global Spokesperson for Jin Bafu Jewelry!

Another luxury jewelry brand, and one that specializes in gold jewelry; the future is limitless.

Once this endorsement was announced, not only were netizens amazed, but even the stars in the industry couldn't help but marvel: where on earth did she find these resources?

Lian Baozhi saw the official announcement on the internet and quietly logged into her blog using a burner account.

She checked in on Jin Li's blog, and by the way, liked and commented to boost the data.

She was a loyal, die-hard fan of Jin Li; as long as Jin Li didn't retire, she would never have a mental breakdown.

What was singing "No More Meeting" in a wedding dress? Even if she announced she was getting married, it wouldn't matter.

As long as Jin Li remained active in the entertainment industry and kept acting, she would always support her.

She scrolled to Jin Li's official announcement of the Jin Bafu gold jewelry endorsement, and her manager, Lv Jieshan, scrolled to it as well.

Lv Jieshan said with immense curiosity: "I have never heard that Jin Bafu had any intention of looking for a spokesperson, and their company headquarters is in Hong Kong."

"I remember that for this brand, let alone looking for a spokesperson, they rarely even invite stars to Hong Kong to participate in events."

"This is a very old brand with great popularity in Hong Kong; people who like to buy gold jewelry all know its name, so it doesn't need promotion at all."

"Where did Jin Li find this connection, or is it that Chenxi Entertainment's network has already reached Hong Kong?"

The more Lv Jieshan thought about it, the more she felt that Jin Li's connections were unfathomable.

"After 'Counterattack' became a hit, it not only broke the box office record for the eighth-ranked film in the mainland, but its overseas popularity also surged, and even the company has become so powerful."

"She is on the path to becoming a top superstar. If her fame goes a step further, she might even have the potential to become a global superstar!"

Lian Baozhi skillfully finished boosting the data, switched out of her burner account, and put down her phone.

"Sister Shan, Jin Li's fame and popularity are both very strong; maybe Jin Bafu wants to use her popularity to open up the mainland market."

Lv Jieshan shook her head: "You don't understand. You aren't interested in gold. Among the three most famous and oldest gold brands in the country, Jin Bafu Jewelry is one of them."

"No matter how many emerging gold jewelry brands there are, they can't compare to those three old brands. They don't need to open up the market at all, because they represent the market themselves."

"Besides, how would young people have the money to buy gold? You know how serious the rise in gold prices is; it's all older people buying it."

"If young people really want to buy gold, they usually consult their elders and then learn about Jin Bafu Jewelry."

Lian Baozhi shrugged: "Then she just has the charm to get Jin Bafu to sign her, doesn't she?"

Lv Jieshan nodded: "Right, I don't know how many stars in the industry are going to have a mental breakdown because of Jin Li again."

Lian Baozhi laughed: "This can cause a breakdown? That's a gold jewelry brand; even without Jin Li, they were destined not to get it."

Lv Jieshan: "People's jealousy often isn't because they can't get it themselves, but because when others get it, they always feel that others have stolen their opportunities."

She changed the subject: "But you're right, Jin Li is no longer on the same level as all the first-tier stars now."

"With such high popularity and overseas heat, it's not just Jin Bafu Jewelry; I'm afraid other world-renowned foreign brands have all set their sights on Jin Li."

"Those brands have always wanted to enter China and grab the market. Everything about Jin Li is what brands are looking for; there's no need to compare with her anymore."

Lv Jieshan suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, you participated in a show yesterday; did you cross paths with Li Xunfang? Is she still acting crazy?"

Lian Baozhi nodded: "I did see her yesterday. It was just a nod of acknowledgment; she looked at me once and then looked away."

"Some media wanted to interview us. I didn't mind, but Li Xunfang dodged it. I don't know what trick she's come up with again."

Li Xunfang's development over the past two years hasn't been great, but it hasn't been terrible either.

Although her popularity has declined, her precarious position in the film and television industry has stabilized; she is no longer someone who can't even participate in a single film or television drama.

She can still land lead roles from time to time, and she has made up her mind to hone her acting skills.

The honing has had some effect; although her performance is still stiff and rigid, it's not as unnatural as it used to be, and it's better than the new actresses who just entered the industry.

She is pretty and has popularity and heat. Many new actresses who just entered the industry can be the female lead in web dramas, so why can't Li Xunfang be the female lead?

You have to know that the ones she is taking now are all web dramas!

In other words, her resources have been downgraded, and her popularity has been downgraded, but she hasn't been kicked out of the film and television industry.

Before, after she and Li Xunfang swapped scripts, the film and television drama she starred in was a complete success.

And although Li Xunfang's one failed, its popularity and heat were not low either.

If it hadn't encountered her sniping, it might have been a small hit.

Lv Jieshan thought of the gossip she had received recently and asked: "Do you feel like there's something wrong with her?"

Lian Baozhi was stunned.

"What's wrong? Are you talking about her resources? Or something else?"

As for resources, the manager knows better than she does.

She is a star and has to participate in shows every day; she doesn't have that much time for gossip.

Following Jin Li is already enough; she doesn't need to follow the movements of her enemies as well.

Lv Jieshan: "It's about her complexion and appearance. Do you feel that her complexion has been particularly good lately, glowing with health, and she always has a smile on her lips?"

"Did you notice her when you participated in the event yesterday?"

Lian Baozhi really wanted to nod and say yes, but when she recalled it carefully, she shook her head.

"After crossing paths with her at the event site, she didn't come near me, and I didn't pay special attention to her, so as not to be photographed by the media."

She asked: "Why are you suddenly curious about Li Xunfang's appearance?"

"Is there some new high-tech in the industry? Did she get an injection and rejuvenate her appearance?"

"After all, Li Xunfang isn't young, but she has always maintained herself well."

Lv Jieshan hesitated for a moment and said: "No, I received a piece of news a few days ago. This news has been circulating in the industry for a while. It wasn't sold by paparazzi; it was leaked by insiders around Li Xunfang."

"Rumor has it that she got married this year, and the person she married is a famous investment tycoon in the industry. It is said that this tycoon was still married last year."

Lian Baozhi said without thinking: "Do you think she might have interfered in someone else's relationship?"

Lv Jieshan shook her head: "No, I actually think the point isn't about the relationship."

"If they can really get married, it means that the tycoon has already divorced in advance, and there's nothing to discuss about past relationship history."

"If you really want to get into it, every person who has broken up and started dating a new girlfriend can be called an interloper by others."

"Unless their lives really have no intersection at all, otherwise, relying on just a mouth, who can explain it clearly?"

"I'm worried that after Li Xunfang gets married and gets the tycoon's resources, it will have an impact on you."

Lian Baozhi thought for a while and shook her head: "It won't have an impact anymore."

Her eyes were firm: "Starting next year, I have decided to shift my work focus to acting, rather than running around on variety shows."

"I don't have very good variety show banter, and I don't want to expose my true personality too much in front of the camera; I want to keep some privacy for myself."

"So being an actress is my best choice."

"And in the field of acting, I can guarantee that Li Xunfang cannot surpass me; she isn't as ruthless as I am, nor does she have my determination."

"At most, she can achieve high popularity in variety shows, but she is no match for me in acting."

Seeing that she had a plan in mind, Lv Jieshan didn't say anything more.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover; people in the industry have been circulating it for a while, and the news of her marriage won't be hidden for long. We'll know when the time comes."

As it turned out, the two didn't wait for the paparazzi to break the news about Li Xunfang, but instead waited for the paparazzi to photograph photos of Jin Li and Gu Cheng entering and leaving an apartment together.

Once this photo came out, the comment sections of Gu Cheng and Jin Li set off another storm.

The level of chaos was comparable to a gathering of demons at the Bright Peak, jointly besieging the CP fans.

It really confirmed that saying——

Only a real "sister-in-law" can make the solo fans have a mental breakdown.

So, the solo fans of Gu Cheng and Jin Li all had a mental breakdown.

Jin Li's side was a bit better; through fan meetings, some fans had already let go of their obsessions, and they all understood Jin Li's determination.

But Gu Cheng's side was really caught off guard.

But strictly speaking, it was actually Gu Cheng's side that started releasing signals very early on.

In interviews over the past two years, Gu Cheng didn't hide his appreciation for Jin Li, feeling that she was the most outstanding young actress he had ever seen.

And in school life, he often took the initiative to sit in on classes in the Philosophy Department; this was already an open secret.

Even when buying an apartment, he had to buy one in the same building and live next door.

And this year, the rumors about "being together" were also initiated by Gu Cheng posting on his blog, expressing that he wanted to pursue her and hoped to be given a chance.

The signals released were so obvious.

If Gu Cheng's fans couldn't see this, they wouldn't be qualified fans.

After all, even passersby eating melons could feel his spring-like heart.

However, facing the paparazzi's revelations, neither Gu Cheng nor Jin Li, nor the companies behind them, made any response, carrying out the "scumbag" policy to the end.

It was also at this time that Gu Cheng announced a new endorsement; he was promoted to the global spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling!

【Hahaha, those fans who said they wouldn't boost Gu Cheng's rankings anymore and that his career would get worse and worse can stand up and get slapped in the face. He has been promoted to the global spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling!】

【Wasn't Gu Cheng already the global spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling? Is this hyping up an old topic?】

【I checked, Sanyue Tian used to be the global spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling.】

【And this time, Ru Meng Ling promoted Gu Cheng to global spokesperson individually, in his personal capacity; the gold content of this is higher than that of the team!】

【Don't look at how Gu Cheng hasn't seemed to be working much in the past two years, but he is also a winner of five billion in box office. That's right, the global box office of "Counterattack" has already reached five billion!】

【Jin Li brings prosperity to her husband, no doubt.】

【No wonder I felt he looked very handsome in recent photos of Gu Cheng, full of the aura of a husband. So he really is dating Jin Li, and they are even living together.】

【Falling in love is the best medical beauty for a man.】

Not only did Gu Cheng announce a new endorsement, but he also announced joining a big-budget film, claiming an investment of over one billion!

【Breaking news! The long-running bestseller novel "Desperate Counterattack" has decided to be adapted into a movie, and the live-action male lead is set as "Gu Cheng"!】

【Breaking news! The official side of "Desperate Counterattack" says they have been in contact with Jin Li, hoping she can be the male lead's white moonlight!】

【Explosive! "Desperate Counterattack" is a hit before it's even aired. Who will the two female leads be?】

Regarding the news about living together, Jin Li had already heard it from her manager and didn't make any statement, also telling the company not to respond, handling it coldly.

As for the script of "Desperate Counterattack," she actually knew about it earlier than the news revealed.

Gu Cheng had come to find her a few days ago to discuss this script and asked if she could take it.

Jin Li quite liked discussing with him.

The two people had different ways of thinking and could gain different insights.

But one thing is certain: a good script can transcend the shackles of thinking.

Whether it's a male actor or a female actor, seeing this script, they can all recognize its excellence.

In Jin Li's eyes, the script of "Desperate Counterattack" was excellent.

She felt it was much better than the second part of "Dawn."

Both were doomsday themes, both related to redemption, and both had to find the source of pollution.

But "Desperate Counterattack" didn't come up with anything new like "Dawn 1," but was a standard commercial film cool-text template.

If compared with the script of "Dawn 1," she would prefer "Dawn 1" more.

But if compared with the script of "Dawn 2," she preferred "Desperate Counterattack."

The reason was simple: the plot design of "Desperate Counterattack" was more satisfying than "Dawn 2."

And although this script said there were two female leads, there was actually only one.

The male lead's sweetheart was a white moonlight who had died long ago. For the male lead, the white moonlight was the female lead, but the white moonlight's scenes were very few.

And the female lead in the script was the male lead's partner.

Among all the actresses, her scenes were the heaviest, so she could bear the weight of the female lead.

This female lead had a crush on the male lead, but the male lead didn't like her. In the male lead's eyes, the two were just partners, and there was no romantic plot.

For a survival film set in the doomsday, wanting to talk about romance was a luxury.

After all, just to survive, they had already exhausted all their strength. ===== CHAPTER 721 =====
