Transmigrating to Be a Grand Master in the Entertainment Industry

After being picked up by his master and training martial arts on the mountain for twenty years, Zhao Si finally yearned day and night to descend and venture into the pugilistic world. He harbored t...

Chapter 55: Popularity Soars

Time flies, and the sports meet finally reached its last day of recording. There are only two events left: gymnastics and swimming.

So far, all the gold cups of individual events have been won by Zhao Si, who then placed them in the most conspicuous position in Gu Lingfeng's bookcase, pushing all the trophies and certificates that Gu Lingfeng won during his school days into the corner.

In addition to long jump and 100 meters, Zhao Si broke several records in succession, including high jump, 5000-meter run and javelin.

Zhang Chenggang was determined to get Zhao Si, and he took every opportunity to pull Zhao Si to persuade him, so that everyone knew that he wanted Zhao Si to join the national team. This not only surprised everyone, but also made Zhao Si a little bit of hatred.

Some people are just like that. They're more upset by others' success than their own failures. They just can't stand seeing others do better than they do. Zhao Si might have crushed them on this show, but it's hard to say who's stronger and who's weaker in the entire entertainment industry. They can still console themselves by thinking Zhao Si is just a shrewd idiot with a strong body and a simple mind.

But it’s a completely different story if they join the national team. They are real national talents who will win glory for the country and may even become pillars of the country. How can they not be heartbroken?

However, what they didn't know was that Zhao Si had already rejected Zhang Chenggang a long time ago. Originally, when Zhang Chenggang first mentioned it, Zhao Si was a little interested. After all, a man's lifelong pursuit is to build a country and bring glory to the country. He was not capable of building a country, but he was willing to have the opportunity to bring glory to the country.

However, when he heard that joining the national team would require centralized management and he could not go home every day, he hesitated. When he heard that he had to control his body shape and take stimulants and could not eat delicious food casually, he hesitated even more.

But at this time, he hadn't refused yet, just said he would think about it. Zhao Si told Su Nan about this back in the dormitory. Su Nan, as expected of Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng's love security guard, immediately thought about whether athletes could engage in homosexuality...

In Su Nan's opinion, this should not be allowed, so he asked worriedly: "What if you go to see Mr. Gu?"

Sunan's words were ambiguous, and Zhao Si misunderstood them, but his answer matched Sunan's question. He said, "Then I can only break up with Mr. Gu."

"That won't do! Mr. Gu has been so good to you." Su Nan thought Zhao Si was talking about breaking up. "You can't do this. This is too ungrateful."

Zhao Si was stunned. "? It's not that serious, right? I'll still go home often."

Su Nan was shocked, his mouth hanging open in a daze. After a long while, he put on an expression that said, "Have you forgotten your own limitations?" "We've already separated, and you still want to go back so often? Who do you think Mr. Gu is? Is his house yours for you to leave or come back whenever you want?"

Zhao Si was also shocked. He looked at Su Nan in disbelief, his expression somewhat bewildered. "Are you saying that if I leave, Mr. Gu won't let me go back?!"

"That's for sure!" Su Nan nodded firmly.

Zhao Si still didn't believe it, "But I went there once before and Mr. Gu took me back."

"What?!" Oh my god, Su Nan was shocked. He always thought that Gu Lingfeng and Zhao Si were following the plot of the sponsor supporting the canary, but he didn't expect that the arrogant canary would actually control the sponsor?

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Zhao Si, who looked so innocent, honest and kind, would have such a method? The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Si became subtle and full of admiration.

Zhao Si was frightened by Su Nan's gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I want to see how capable you are." In Su Nan's opinion, although Zhao Si is quite handsome, Mr. Gu is not bad either. Although his character seems to be good, he doesn't see any special charm in him. Logically speaking, Mr. Gu should have seen many handsome guys, so how come he was controlled by Zhao Si?

"Skill? Then I have great skills!" Zhao Si thought Su Nan was talking about his sports and martial arts, and was showing off happily, becoming proud.

"!! I understand!!" Su Nan is worthy of being Su Nan. He thought of it in the wrong way. He couldn't help but quickly glanced at Zhao Si's crotch and then quickly looked away.

Zhao Si didn't notice this. He was still wondering whether Mr. Gu would let him go home. He didn't really want to leave. He just wanted to know Gu Lingfeng's attitude. "If I leave this time, will Mr. Gu let me go back?"

Su Nan thought about it and didn't dare to give any advice easily. "I really don't know about this. Why don't you ask Mr. Gu first?"

Zhao Si nodded thoughtfully, but in the end he didn't dare to really ask Gu Lingfeng. The next day he firmly rejected Zhang Chenggang's invitation, which made Zhang Chenggang very heartbroken. So he took every opportunity to pull Zhao Si to persuade him, and finally made it known to everyone.

Zhao Si breaks records all the time, and the program crew and netizens who follow the live broadcast are no longer surprised. Even netizens who don’t follow the program will see news about Zhao Si on social media from time to time. Of course, this is inseparable from the money paved by the program crew.

But on the sixth day of the show, suddenly an active athlete of the national team liked Zhao Si's hot search. He was a 100-meter runner. I don't know if he just saw the news suddenly or what, but he liked this somewhat outdated news three days after the game.

Marketing accounts got wind of the news and screenshots of athletes liking the posts were circulated everywhere. The program crew added fuel to the fire, and Zhao Si gained several more hot search terms.

I don’t know if it was an agreement or what, but two more athletes liked Zhao Si’s trending search, and there was also a rumor leaked by someone saying that Zhang Chenggang strongly invited Zhao Si to join the national team. For a while, Zhao Si and the Idol Sports Games became unprecedentedly popular.

Zhao Si was completely oblivious to this. He just counted the days every day and hoped the show would end soon. He had never wanted to go home so badly, especially after Su Nan said that day that Mr. Gu would not let him go back. This statement made him very uncomfortable. Whenever he thought about it, he felt a heaviness in his chest, as if something was blocking it.

Gu Lingfeng has been extremely busy these days. In just a few days, Zhao Si's popularity has skyrocketed, and his net worth has also risen accordingly. He has received overwhelming advertising invitations, program invitations, and various endorsements.

The endorsements that came forward this time were not just small brands, there were also many international brands, including sports, mobile phones and even luxury ready-to-wear. Gu Lingfeng picked and chose a few and would make the final choice after Zhao Si's show was over.

One of the mobile phones invited Zhao Si and Su Nan to be the spokespersons. They were the same phone with two different colors, and the brand invited them to endorse one color each. Zhao Si endorsed the warm and cheerful red, while Su Nan endorsed the noble and mysterious blue. Gu Lingfeng thought this brand was quite creative and included it in the alternative plans.
