Chapter 89

"Concert tour?"

Seeing Jin Li was very surprised and asked: "What kind of move is this? The program has already finished recording, why are they holding a concert tour now?"

Before Fang Jie could answer, Gu Cheng said: "It's very normal for talent shows to hold tours. It's to consolidate the popularity of the contestants after the show ends, and also to conduct a second round of popularity monetization.

It's called the 'PICK~ Next Station Diva' concert tour, but it's actually the concert tour for the officially debuted girl group. Occasionally, they'll play on nostalgia, and the production team will invite some other eliminated girl groups.

But that's only occasionally; the main focus is still on promoting the debuted girl group.

Also, they have to put in a lot of effort regarding the guests. They must invite currently popular singers so that fans feel the ticket price is worth it, which can also indirectly raise the girl group's market value.

Look, even currently popular singers are coming as concert guests—doesn't that just show how hot the girl group is?"

Seeing Jin Li suddenly understood.

When she had researched the information before, she only looked up to the end of the recording and didn't dig any deeper; she hadn't expected there to be so many tricks involved.

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, Sui Lingfang finally opened her mouth: "It's pretty much as he said. Yesterday, the person in charge of 'PICK~ Next Station Diva' called me personally to communicate, saying they really hope to invite you and Meng Meng as guests."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a moment and shook her head: "I'm not interested in participating in the concert, and isn't Meng Meng on vacation? Can she go?"

Sui Lingfang: "I've communicated with her; her stance is that if you go, she'll go."

Seeing Jin Li still said: "I'm not going."

Sui Lingfang didn't force it. Although the appearance fee offered by the production team was very sincere, she understood Seeing Jin Li's temperament.

She wasn't someone who loved money.

If she really loved money, she wouldn't be taking vacations every few days.

"Fine, I'll reply to the person in charge later." Sui Lingfang said this and turned to look at Gu Cheng, "We won't be going, but you guys probably will."

The March Sky boy band had a very close relationship with the production team, after all, they were the ones who were made famous by the same type of talent show.

It's said that being able to invite March Sky as mentors this time was also based on that original relationship.

Who would have thought Gu Cheng would say quite decisively: "No, March Sky won't be going either."

Sui Lingfang was a bit surprised, "Not going?"

【Suddenly remembered Ji Qinglian in the show before, echoing what Seeing Jin Li said, covering her mouth and snickering. jpg】

Gu Cheng smiled lightly, looking a bit shy, but his attitude was unexpectedly firm.

"Boy bands and girl groups shouldn't get too close to begin with, especially this kind of girl group that's like a junior sister to us. Agreeing to be mentors in the first place was already repaying a favor.

During the recording of the show, March Sky already tried our best to lead them. The road ahead is one they need to walk themselves."

A look of contemplation flashed through Sui Lingfang's eyes.

That's what he said, but she always felt there was more to it.

After the meal, Gu Cheng helped wash the dishes and then said goodbye to Seeing Jin Li; he had other bookings to attend to in the afternoon.

But those weren't group activities, but individual ones.

Ever since the recording of 'PICK~ Next Station Diva' ended, the individual schedules the company arranged for them had become more and more frequent, and the intention to split them up had become increasingly obvious.

After Gu Cheng left, Sui Lingfang said: "Don't let Gu Cheng's young age fool you; he seems quite capable of handling things and is rather steady."

Seeing Jin Li had just finished washing the grapes and came out of the kitchen, placing the fruit platter on the living room table. She smiled upon hearing this: "He's alright, he's a good person."

Sui Lingfang had originally wanted to say something else, but as soon as she heard Seeing Jin Li's assessment of him as a "good person," she suddenly felt relieved.

——The "good person" card is the most lethal!

"I just sent a message to Zhang Guang asking why the March Sky boy band isn't participating in the concert tour later on, and I got a more detailed reply from him."

Sui Lingfang had a look of gossip on her face, "If Zhang Guang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the March Sky boy band had such a bitter falling out with 'PICK~ Next Station Diva' back then!"

Seeing Jin Li was stunned, "Bitter?"

Sui Lingfang grabbed a grape and bit into it fiercely, "The March Sky boy band and the production team had a fight after they formed the group. They released news of a concert tour without their consent.

Of course, that's not the main point; holding a concert tour after forming a group is very normal, and March Sky had been prepared for it. But the production team played a dirty trick—they actually wanted the fans to crowdfund the concert!"

What do you call this?

This is called a free ride!

Sui Lingfang continued: "Such a big production team, how could they not even have the money to hold a concert?

And back then, in order to support the four of them to debut, it's said—and I'm just hearing this from others—the fans spent 100 million!"

The grape Seeing Jin Li was holding dropped.

"100 million???"

What is the concept of 100 million?

Even with the inflation of today, it's still an explosive number.

Sui Lingfang nodded: "When the production team was filming the show, they discovered the super high popularity of the March Sky boy band, so they desperately abused the fans.

In order to make their fans unleash even greater energy, they kept releasing news that they had to reach a certain amount of votes, or the production team wouldn't consider letting them debut together as the original members.

The fans panicked right then and there, panicking from the first episode to the last. Especially on the night they formed the group, they clearly maintained a dominant lead from start to finish, but the fans were still worried that others would steal the victory, so they voted desperately."

After finishing, she ate another grape and sighed: "That 100 million in votes was just the power unleashed on the night they formed the group.

Think about it, how much money did the production team fleece from them from the start of the show to the end? They finally managed to debut successfully, and in the end, even the concert tour had to be crowdfunded by fans?

I don't know what other stars think, but March Sky couldn't tolerate it, which is why they started a fight with the production team.

Plus, Tianding was very strong. The group contract signed back then stated that the March Sky boy band was jointly managed by the production team and Tianding; Tianding didn't completely lose their say.

So after some communication, the concert tour was ultimately not held, and Tianding Entertainment also redeemed the full management rights of March Sky from the production team."

Seeing Jin Li understood and summarized: "Not only did the fans spend a lot of money, but in the end, Tianding Entertainment also spent money, and a huge sum at that."

Sui Lingfang said with the attitude of a gossip: "That's for sure. Anyone with eyes can see that March Sky is a treasure bowl!

I don't know how Tianding Entertainment communicated with the production team, but it's said that Tencent let them go very quickly. Could it be that they were holding some dirt on the production team?"

Seeing Jin Li thought to herself: On this point, I'm afraid only the parties involved know for sure.

Sui Lingfang said: "Maybe the production team also realized afterward that they had squeezed the March Sky boy band too hard. These past few years, they've been trying to repair the relationship, but with little success.

And look, just as the boy band came over, they are now trying to do a girl group and are vigorously inviting the March Sky boy band to participate.

No matter how bad the production team is, they were seen by everyone through this platform back then, so they ultimately came over to be mentors.

Now that the show's recording has ended, I think the production team won't be able to invite March Sky anymore!"

Seeing Jin Li didn't know what she was thinking of, but asked: "Since the boy band unleashed such huge money-making energy back then, what about this girl group they're promoting now?"

Sui Lingfang spread her hands, "It's not working."

"I mentioned to you before that the girl group here just never quite reached the level, which is why the production team came up with so many tricks to abuse the fans.

Although the variety show 'PICK~ Next Station Diva' is very popular, the fans' spending on idols is far behind that of the boy band.

According to the news I heard, on the final night of forming the group, the three teams combined only received 30 million in votes. This isn't the power unleashed by one team, but three.

Think about it, compared to March Sky's 100 million, how big is the gap?"

Seeing Jin Li compared them and suddenly felt a bit of pity for the production team.

It's like a chasm!

"The production team should be quite regretful. If they had known that the later talent shows would become increasingly difficult to run, they should have treated March Sky well back then, instead of squeezing them to death."

Sui Lingfang ate another grape and said like she was watching a show: "Exactly. These capitalists, once they smell the scent of money, they sweep through like a hurricane, not caring about the future at all.

If they had managed the boy band with care back then, they wouldn't be in this position now, begging them to participate in a concert tour.

What a great favor of promotion, just squandered in vain."

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "If one could know the future, there wouldn't be any beggars in the world. How can so many futures be predicted?"

Sui Lingfang also smiled: "That's true. Now everyone takes one step at a time, not asking to reach the sky in one leap, just asking to be down-to-earth and steady."

Seeing Jin Li nodded in agreement, looked up at Fang Jie, and suddenly her expression became a bit subtle.

Perhaps because she had been communicating with her, it triggered her ability to read faces.

Why is there another cluster of pink in Fang Jie's brows?

Another sign of the Red Phoenix star moving.

Seeing Jin Li's eyes were a bit strange, thinking: So Fang Jie is also a sentimental person at heart.

It's just that I don't know who the object of this new Red Phoenix star movement is.

Seeing Jin Li asked in a low voice: "Fang Jie, how have things been with Zou Da lately?"

Sui Lingfang was a bit strange when she heard this and asked: "What do you mean how have things been? Lately, we've just been busy screening bookings for you. When I'm very busy, he helps me look after He Yixuan."

Seeing Jin Li wouldn't give up and asked: "No other progress?"

Sui Lingfang sensed something, sat up a little straighter, and looked at Seeing Jin Li with a half-smile.

"Why, are you trying to play matchmaker?"

She was amused, "I was just wondering why you sometimes ask such strange questions. How did you get the idea that Zou Da and I are a match?"

Seeing Jin Li:...

It's not what I think, it's what your heart thinks!

It's just that many times, the parties involved don't realize it, and by the time they do, I'm afraid that fate has long since vanished.

Sui Lingfang ate another grape, "Forget it, stop letting your imagination run wild. I don't do office romances; Zou Da and I are just colleagues."

KO!

Seeing Jin Li silently lit a candle for Zou Da in her heart. The other object of the Red Phoenix star movement is scoring big points. Da Ge, you have absolutely no chance now.

Zhong Wentai's script arrived faster than expected.

Seeing Jin Li had only been holed up in her apartment for three days before she was called to the company by a series of calls from Fang Jie.

Fang Jie said excitedly: "The script is here. I flipped through it casually; Zhong Wentai wants you to be the female lead! That's the female lead!

Seeing Jin Li, you are the company's hope; you are about to become the next Best Actress!"

Seeing Jin Li broke into a cold sweat: "Fang Jie, calm down, calm down!"

After hanging up the phone, Seeing Jin Li returned to the live-streaming room and explained to the netizens: "Suddenly have something to attend to, no live stream this afternoon. Everyone, do as you please."

When Fang Jie called, she had only just started her afternoon live stream and hadn't even gotten into the zone with her studying.

She didn't expect to have to go busy immediately.

After Seeing Jin Li finished speaking, she ended the live stream.

The live-streaming room went black, but the house hadn't disappeared yet, so comments could still be posted.

【How many days has it been? It's been three days!】

【What did I just see? I saw a currently popular artist, at the peak of her popularity, actually live-streaming her studies for three consecutive days, from morning till night, like a precision question-drilling machine T^T】

【Is Li Bao finally going to have work?】

【Can you stop being such a grinder?】

【Brothers, who's going to open another study room? I want to join!】

【I'm joining too!】

【I'll open one, you guys come in. Room number:】

The netizens silently put down their phones.

Thinking to themselves, they and a grinder are destined to be unable to communicate.

Seeing Jin Li arrived at Chenxi Entertainment.

Before she even went to the management department where Fang Jie was, she ran into Gong Jiajia just as she arrived at the company lobby on the first floor.

Seeing Jin Li was stunned for a moment, immediately understood something, and said: "Congratulations, you signed with Chenxi Entertainment, right?"

The corners of Gong Jiajia's mouth kept curling upward, unable to hide her excitement, and she nodded heavily:

"Yeah, I just signed today. I didn't expect Chenxi Entertainment would actually sign me!"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "Don't belittle yourself. I've always thought your ability is quite strong."

This was the truth.

At the very least, in 'PICK~ Next Station Diva', Gong Jiajia's ability was always among the top few.

Just because the production team didn't favor her doesn't mean her ability was weak.

Although the label of "loser" is hard to shake off for a while, as long as she participates in a few more competitions and brings back a championship, it'll be fine.

It's not easy to clear someone's name.

But isn't it simple to clear up a single incident?

Gong Jiajia didn't commit any principled errors.

After chatting casually with Gong Jiajia, Seeing Jin Li took the elevator to find Sui Lingfang.

As soon as Seeing Jin Li left, the artists who had been silently watching from the sidelines couldn't help but crowd around Gong Jiajia.

"Hey, are you that close with Teacher Seeing Jin Li?"

"Does Teacher Seeing Jin Li like you a lot?"

"The company should arrange for you to run bookings with Teacher Seeing Jin Li, right? After all, she was always supporting you on the show..."

Chenxi Entertainment is just a small company with few artists, almost one a month, so the number of artists is limited.

And following Seeing Jin Li's explosion in popularity, Chenxi tightened its signing threshold, making it not as easy to get in as before.

Gong Jiajia was the first artist signed by the company after Seeing Jin Li's comeback, and especially since she was close with Seeing Jin Li, there was that bond.

People who can be artists aren't stupid; everyone has brains and eyes, and they will think and watch.

Before long, Gong Jiajia was surrounded by people.

The people gathered on the side didn't see another artist enter through the main door—it was He Yixuan.

He Yixuan just glanced at that side, didn't walk over, and silently took the elevator upstairs.

But she could feel many eyes staring at her from behind.

The elevator door closed.

He Yixuan finally took a deep breath, her expression not as tense.

She took a stress-relief squeeze ball out of her pocket and squeezed it fiercely, then squeezed it again, and again!

"Ding-dong!" The elevator door opened.

He Yixuan returned the toy to her pocket, exhaled lightly, and her face returned to a look of indifference.

Many people wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

But she wouldn't let them!

At Sui Lingfang's place.

Seeing Jin Li pushed the door open and walked in, finding Fang Jie intently looking down at a script, not noticing the movement outside.

Another script had already been prepared for her, so Seeing Jin Li simply sat down and started reading it.

After Sui Lingfang finished reading, she wondered why Seeing Jin Li hadn't come over yet, looked up, and found that she had already arrived and was reading the script.

She didn't disturb Seeing Jin Li and silently poured her a glass of water.

After a while, Seeing Jin Li put down the script.

She reached out to rub her bulging temples and said with some exhaustion: "The performance difficulty of this script is extremely high."

A good script has a plot that can touch people's hearts and allow the audience to resonate emotionally.

For Seeing Jin Li, every plot point in this script tugged at her heartstrings, making her emotions rise and fall along with it.

It's just that neither of them expected this script to be a biography!

Seeing Jin Li said bluntly: "I lack acting experience, and it's even more impossible for me to film a famous person. I can't act in this film."

Sui Lingfang's heart sank slightly.

When she was reading the script, she felt Seeing Jin Li wouldn't easily accept it, but she didn't expect Seeing Jin Li's attitude to be so direct.

Sui Lingfang hesitated for a moment, "Maybe Director Zhong just took a liking to your temperament? Perhaps you are really suitable to play this person?

There are almost no video materials left from back then, only a few words of record. If it's filmed as a movie, it requires some imagination."

This script tells the story of the female physicist He Hui (a fictional character in the text), who, feeling that the country was backward and equipment was insufficient, went abroad to learn advanced technology and achieved brilliant success in foreign laboratories.

But when she realized her motherland needed help, she abandoned the luxury abroad and resolutely returned to develop the country, building from scratch.

She not only produced the nuclear emulsion detector but also built physics laboratories, high-altitude cosmic ray observation stations, and made outstanding contributions in high-altitude balloons, high-energy astrophysics, and other fields.

Devoted her life to the cause until the very end!

As such a great scholar, Seeing Jin Li asked herself if she could carry the weight of this role.

Simply put, in two words: unworthy!

After hearing Seeing Jin Li's explanation, Sui Lingfang was silent for a while and said: "But you have to know, there are many, many scholars like He Hui.

If only written records are left, don't you think it's a pity? Don't you want more people to understand these scholars?

Film is the seventh art, combining text, image, and sound. It can evoke resonance, express human emotions, and make people deeply feel those beautiful sentiments.

Seeing Jin Li, I know your concerns; you feel your ability is insufficient, but the director knows your concerns better than you do."

Fang Jie paused, "Director Zhong not only wants to write it but also film it, personally selecting the roles. If he thinks you're suitable, there must be a reason."

She said from the bottom of her heart: "Why don't you step out of yourself and look at it from an outsider's perspective? If you were given an opportunity to promote those scholars with great brilliance, would you be willing to promote them?"

Seeing Jin Li said without thinking: "I am willing. I hope more people can know them, not just limited to a small piece of text."

Sui Lingfang's brows relaxed, and she smiled: "That's right.

Whether it's filmed well or not, once it's filmed, someone will watch it and understand it, so just film it first! Let future generations judge the rights and wrongs; you only need to ask your own heart if you want everyone to see these scholars."

Seeing Jin Li's brows were tightly knit.

She felt Fang Jie had given her a difficult problem.

On one hand, she believed her ability was insufficient.

But on the other hand, she truly wanted more people to understand the lives of these great scholars.

After being silent for a long while, Seeing Jin Li let out a long sigh.

She lay back in her chair, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm giving up. You pass my worries and concerns to Director Zhong. As for what he thinks afterward, I won't care. If..."

Seeing Jin Li paused, "I mean if he really still wants me to be the female lead, then let's film it."

She added: "I'm not the one who will suffer a loss. If it's not filmed well, it's his reputation that suffers. Let him consider it carefully."

Seeing Jin Li agreed with Fang Jie's idea.

In the film field, Director Zhong is more famous than her. Writing, selecting, and directing himself, the pressure will only be greater than hers.

If it's filmed and people scold it, netizens will only scold: What a trash director, selecting all this junk!

If Director Zhong insists on bearing this pressure and still thinks she is suitable to play He Hui, then she will also show her sincerity—

I'll accompany you to the end!

Sui Lingfang was beaming: "That's the sentence I was waiting for! I'll reply to Director Zhong right now, so you don't change your mind later!"

Seeing Jin Li said with a wry smile: "Fang Jie, don't rush, convey it properly."

Sui Lingfang smiled: "That's Director Zhong Wentai! Who wouldn't rush? If you miss this village, there won't be this shop!"

That day, Sui Lingfang replied to Director Zhong, detailing Seeing Jin Li's concerns, and then waited for a reply.

Director Zhong gave a reply the next day: 【Understood. The film is still in preparation, the script still needs to be revised. Let's talk after it's revised.】

After Sui Lingfang finished reading, her heart was a bit uneasy.

It wouldn't be that after revising, this originally scheduled female lead gets changed to a female third or fourth lead, right?

However...

Sui Lingfang looked down at her phone screen.

Seeing Jin Li was live-streaming her studies in her apartment. If you want to see what she's doing, just enter the live-streaming room.

For Seeing Jin Li, as long as it can help people understand that history, it doesn't matter if it's a female third or fourth lead.

Even if there's no role, she'd probably be happy to help promote it when it goes online.

Sui Lingfang let out a long sigh.

Seeing Jin Li is good at everything, but her heart is too kind, without any sense of competition.

Other artists are grinding for bookings and resources, but she insists on grinding for studies!

Forget it, forget it. As long as she doesn't go to a Daoist temple to become some lay practitioner and retire, everything is fine.

At Seeing Jin Li's place.

After ending the live stream in the morning, she received a message in the March Sky group chat while eating lunch.

Yan Xingdong: 【Emergency assembly, emergency assembly! The company requires us to come up with a group variety show plan in the next few days. When should we hold a meeting to discuss it?】

Chen Lin: 【Meeting? Online meeting? Video call?】

Yan Xingdong: 【No, I feel like doing it that way is too slow. @Seeing Jin Li @Qiguan Mingzhu, do you two have bookings this afternoon?

Are you free to come over, or should we come to you? The location can be at your company, or ours.】

Holding a meeting to discuss a group variety show plan isn't very serious.

Actually, it should be held in a private place with a nice, relaxed environment, making it easier for everyone to relax and speak freely.

If it were just Seeing Jin Li, Yan Xingdong would feel that's fine, but adding Qiguan Mingzhu, whom he doesn't know very well...

He felt that the location for the first discussion should be somewhere everyone feels safe.

On the other hand, if paparazzi take photos, it's also easy to explain.

Seeing Jin Li: 【I'm free this afternoon.】

Qiguan Mingzhu: 【I'm free this afternoon too.】

Yan Xingdong: 【So where to?】

Qiguan Mingzhu: 【Let's go to Tianding. I haven't seen what a big company in the industry is like yet, I want to go take a look~ Liyu, what about you?】

Seeing Jin Li: 【I have no problem! Actually, I also want to go to Tianding to see if a big company is very impressive!】

Yan Xingdong: 【So-so.】

Chen Lin: 【Just like that.】

Luo Yi: 【Actually, it's all about the same. We don't really go to the company much.】

Gu Cheng: 【Don't feel pressured.】

Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu:???

Do you guys know that what you're saying is very contradictory?

By the afternoon, Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu met up and took a taxi together to the East City, where Tianding Entertainment is located.

The two got out of the car, and under the scorching sun, Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu looked up at the tall building in front of them, falling into a moment of silence.

Qiguan Mingzhu said uncertainly: "This doesn't look like 'so-so', right?"

1, 2, 3... 13, 14, 15... Good heavens, I'm getting dizzy counting, I'm not counting the floors anymore!

Seeing Jin Li also said uncertainly: "Maybe this kind of building, in their eyes, just belongs to 'so-so'?"

Qiguan Mingzhu twitched the corners of her mouth, "High-rise buildings in the commercial center are just like this. The last time I saw a building this tall, it seemed to be called 'Southern Power Grid'?"

Seeing Jin Li was silent, then whispered: "It's a well-known big company in the industry after all! Compared to our former agency..."

She suddenly fell silent.

She had been to her former agency, Hao Zhongyi Entertainment. Hong Kong has a special location where every inch of land is worth gold. In terms of company building scale, it really wasn't as... big as Tianding Entertainment.

"Are you Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu?"

Perhaps because the two had been standing at the entrance for a while, and they weren't using the fan entrance but the special entrance for business, which is always guarded, they were noticed by the guard.

The guard had been notified that two special guests would be coming in the afternoon, so after careful confirmation, he stepped forward to ask.

Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu both nodded.

The guard picked up a black walkie-talkie and said: "Teacher Seeing Jin Li and Teacher Qiguan Mingzhu have arrived at the entrance."

A voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Okay, I'm coming out now."

Before the person receiving them arrived, Chen Lin, who had been guarding the first floor, spotted the two first and told the team leader.

And so, the March Sky boy band ran out personally to receive the two sisters.

"You're here!"

"That was fast, no traffic jams?"

Everyone exchanged polite greetings. Gu Cheng was holding two umbrellas, politely handing one to Qiguan Mingzhu, and then opened the other one, handing it to Seeing Jin Li.

Seeing Jin Li shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not hot."

Gu Cheng stood beside her, tilted the umbrella toward her, and whispered: "I'm a bit hot, but it's not good for a big man like me to use an umbrella. You help me cover it."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes curved, and she smiled: "Alright."

The group walked into the Tianding Entertainment building.

The receptionist arrived late and apologized repeatedly: "It took some time to come down from upstairs, sorry about that!"

Qiguan Mingzhu said: "It's okay. So where are we discussing?"

Yan Xingdong: "The conference room. I had the company clear a conference room for us."

Qiguan Mingzhu: "Then let's go now?"

Luo Yi said: "Let's go."

The group came in with a rush and went up with a rush.

The receptionist was left standing there in a daze, her mind still echoing with what her supervisor had specifically told her in the morning.

"When you see the members of Pink Girl, keep your mouth sharp and sweet. Introduce Tianding Entertainment along the way, such as what advanced equipment we have, how many artists we have, what the system is like, how much we respect artists, how good the benefits are, how high the salary subsidies are..."

However, now—

Reception? Non-existent!

Introduction? Non-existent!

Saying nice things? Non-existent!

Cold sweat broke out on the receptionist's forehead, and she was so anxious she didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered—go find the supervisor!

As these people all left, in the first-floor lobby, the employees who had been silently watching Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu were discussing quietly.

"Did you see Seeing Jin Li just now?"

"Saw her, super cute, she really is a sweet girl! I saw her smile, and it felt like the whole world brightened up. There are really stars in her eyes!"

"Did you see Qiguan Mingzhu?"

"Saw her, such a domineering imperial sister type, wearing a JK uniform, just like a senior student protecting her juniors!"

"Hey, our company has too many male artists and too few female artists. There isn't a single one like Seeing Jin Li or Qiguan Mingzhu."

"Like them? Then you might as well go be reborn."

The group arrived at the floor where the conference room was located.

Seeing Jin Li looked at the conference rooms they passed and couldn't help but give Gu Cheng a thumbs up, sighing: "Your company is truly impressive!"

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Maybe because I see it often, I don't feel it's that amazing, but if compared with companies in the industry, it's probably okay."

Chen Lin chimed in: "LP Entertainment can't compare to us either. Their building is ten years old, ours is three years old!"

Qiguan Mingzhu said thoughtfully: "I've always heard that LP Entertainment and Tianding Entertainment have a bad relationship, and the artists under them don't get along well either. Now, do you even have that damn competitive spirit regarding company scale?"

Mingzhu doesn't speak unless she has something to say.

Once she speaks, it has that two-dimensional flavor.

That damn competitive spirit!

Yan Xingdong pushed the door open and said with a smile: "It's true that the relationship isn't good, but it's not to the point of being so confrontational with their artists.

Didn't we record a show with Senior Ji Qinglian from LP Entertainment before? We all got along very well. As for company scale, there's no need to compare."

He paused and said lightly: "Isn't it an obvious fact that LP Entertainment's scale can't compare to Tianding? Why compare?"

Qiguan Mingzhu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"You're right, a ten-year-old company and a three-year-old company aren't on the same level."

Seeing Jin Li listened to their conversation and asked Gu Cheng beside her curiously: "Is your relationship with LP really that bad?"

Gu Cheng leaned over, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "There are many old grudges, accumulated one by one, so it counts as a feud, but it's not a big deal."

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but tilt her ear; it was a bit ticklish.

Everyone sat down, and Yan Xingdong didn't waste time, talking about business.

He first stated the plan he had come up with, and then showed everyone the other three plans provided by the company.

Seeing Jin Li felt the first plan was okay.

That is, the one they had come up with before. It looked quite normal, but there were many details that needed to be perfected, and it was more of a general direction.

Then she looked at the plans provided by Tianding Entertainment.

They were one worse than the other, one more exaggerated than the other, one more outrageous than the other.

She discovered that Tianding Entertainment seemed to like going to extremes, wanting to do everything to the limit.

Just like the domineering CEO mode Yan Xingdong mentioned before, it appeared in this plan, which could be described as spending money like water.

If they didn't go with this mode, they would go with the "poor to the point of absurdity" mode, as miserable as possible, with the audience specifically coming to watch the stars make fools of themselves.

Although they brought out this plan, Tianding Entertainment also wrote 【After discussion, this mode is not advisable, for reference only】 on the first page of the plan.

The last plan was the standard variety show plan on the market.

Following this plan, there wouldn't be any mistakes, and perhaps they could even harvest a wave of praise and popularity, and make a lot of money.

So Tianding Entertainment internally preferred this plan, with 【Strongly Recommended】 marked on the first page.

Yan Xingdong asked: "Which one do you like?"

"The first one!" 5 voices in unison.

Yan Xingdong spread his hands, "Then we'll have to work a bit harder and strive to perfect the first plan today to finish the task."

While they were discussing, the receptionist also found the supervisor and explained the situation.

The supervisor didn't know what to do either.

Why doesn't the March Sky boy band play by the rules?

So the supervisor found Zhang Guang again, asking Guang Ge to talk to them.

As soon as Zhang Guang heard, he laughed and scolded a few times: "These little brats! Forget it, I'll go listen to what their meeting is about. It sounds quite decent."

In the conference room.

Qiguan Mingzhu finished listening to Yan Xingdong's thoughts and said: "I think Liyu's idea is good. We are all from groups, so musical elements cannot be lost.

Since we are doing a variety show, although it's just a group variety show, we should go all out and try our best to do it well. But if you say we should hold a concert every episode, that's too deliberate."

She paused, "My idea is, why not be more casual and natural? Let's have a trip that says 'let's go', and sing whenever we want. Less script, more interaction, focusing on casual 'giving up'."

"'Giving up'?" Yan Xingdong asked with great interest.

"Yeah, when I travel, I go wherever I want. I don't set a plan or goal for myself, only visiting one place a day, so it's not that tiring.

I think the variety show can convey this concept to everyone: relax, don't be so rushed. We aren't only going to that place once, so slow down and carefully experience and feel things."

Seeing Jin Li understood what Qiguan Mingzhu meant and asked: "If we want to focus on being casual, then what about the professions we experience?"

Qiguan Mingzhu: "That would definitely be arranged casually too."

She countered: "Do you really have to experience a certain profession? Why not experience whatever you see on the road?

There's no rule that you have to experience it for a day or two. Experiencing it for two or three hours is also an experience, and in the process, we can also understand the difficulties and problems behind these professions, embodying a kind of humanistic care."

Look, hasn't the perspective been opened up!

Haven't the promotional slogans been found!

"Well said!" Zhang Guang, who had walked into the conference room for a while, couldn't help but clap and cheer, "Your idea is quite interesting. Have you done planning before?"

Qiguan Mingzhu was a bit embarrassed after being praised like that.

"No, I just like going out to various activities, so I understand some situations."

Zhang Guang: "That's great. I was worried this group variety show would be a mess, but with you here to grasp the general direction, there shouldn't be any problems."

Qiguan Mingzhu: "Hey, I was just saying it casually."

Zhang Guang: "No, no, I really think what you said is particularly good, better than the brains of that group of planners in the company."

The supervisor and receptionist who followed Zhang Guang in couldn't help but look at each other.

Look, this is the art of speaking!

In just a few words, hasn't Qiguan Mingzhu's favorability toward Tianding Entertainment increased?

They discussed for an afternoon.

Seeing Jin Li and Qiguan Mingzhu were invited by Zhang Guang to taste the cafeteria of Tianding Entertainment.

Zhang Guang had something to do temporarily, so he wouldn't eat with them.

As soon as the manager left, Chen Lin completely relaxed, and his mouth became bolder.

"I feel like Guang Ge isn't my manager, but more like your manager."

Seeing Jin Li said with a smile: "He has other motives!"

Qiguan Mingzhu: "I saw through what he wanted to do at a glance, but I just didn't say it."

Luo Yi smiled: "Come on, eat. Our company might have some problems elsewhere, but this cafeteria is beyond reproach.

Every time we return to the company after finishing bookings, we'd rather eat in the cafeteria than outside. Even the senior executives in the company, as long as they don't need to go out for social engagements, all eat in the cafeteria."

Tianding Entertainment's cafeteria uses a buffet mode.

The portion of each dish isn't large, but once it's low, it's immediately replenished, always keeping it fresh.

After Seeing Jin Li sat down, she scanned the surroundings and found that it seemed to be all company employees; she basically didn't see any stars.

She couldn't help but ask: "Don't stars come to the company? I don't seem to have seen a single one today."

Gu Cheng opened a bottle of water for her and handed it over; Seeing Jin Li took it and took a sip.

"It's not that they don't come, but they've all gone out to run bookings. They're too busy and have no time to come. Unless they finish a booking and return to the company to report, they can't be seen.

So we aren't very familiar with other artists in the company; we basically don't meet in the company. Instead, we have more opportunities to meet when we go to participate in some booking activities."

Qiguan Mingzhu thought for a moment: "As expected of a big company, it can't be compared to a small company. I can almost call out the names of all the personnel in my company."
