Debut!
"Creating gods?" Ji Yunding looked at Ji Liuxing and another stranger in his 40s or 50s, and pointed at himself with some confusion, "Me?"
"That's right." The stranger nodded. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is An Ming, and I'm in charge of handling matters related to ghost stories and public opinion."
The invasion of ghost stories is getting worse and worse, and the public is experiencing an irrepressible panic. People are paying close attention to the situation of ghost stories, which leads to a high level of discussion. The relevant information spreads quickly and widely, and the impact is extremely serious.
Although a relatively complete and strict legal system has been established to deal with rumors related to ghost stories, practical problems still exist.
The suddenness, uncontrollability and increasing frequency of ghost stories make it impossible for public opinion to either ignore them or completely resolve them, and we can only try to guide them.
"Mr. Ji Liuxing's health condition has been reported to the government half a month ago. Now, society needs a new star who can reassure people." An Ming said seriously, "Considering your status, age, talent and achievements, there is currently no one more qualified than you."
Blood Rain is one of the most common weather stories, involving the largest number of people and the widest range of people. Ji Yunding's elimination of it is a great event worthy of universal celebration. If we take this opportunity to push Ji Yunding to the front and create a new star investigator with significant personal charm, it will definitely be a great benefit for stabilizing public opinion in the future.
A monster newcomer, he has only been in the industry for half a year and was just an ordinary person before that... Adding all these things together, the confidence that Ji Yunding can bring to people may be no less than that of Ji Liuxing.
"That being said." Ji Liuxing interrupted An Ming, "You have to think about it carefully. This may not be a good thing for you."
"Mr. Ji Liuxing..."
"I've said this before at the meeting. My position is that the investigator's personal wishes take precedence." Ji Liuxing leaned back against the sofa, looked at the ceiling and sighed, "This girl is different from me. She still has a long life ahead of her. Please go sit in the reception room outside for a while. I want to talk to Ji Yunding alone."
An Ming opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't argue. This team leader always did things with a broken jar style, especially when he was working with the investigation team and the administration - a dying man was not afraid of anything.
"Team leader?" Ji Yunding tilted his head.
Ji Liuxing sat up straighter and looked directly at Ji Yunding: "Student Ji Yunding, you have to think carefully about this matter. In the current situation, the exposure of people related to the weird is ridiculously high. Once you agree to it, there is no turning back unless the fight against the weird is completely over.
Not all people in the world are rational and reasonable. Some people will question you, comment on your abilities, words and deeds, past and even your appearance. Even worse, they will slander you for no reason, frame you and make up rumors. Especially now, people die every day because of strange stories.
"Why didn't you come to save my family?", "Why weren't you there when a strange story happened?", "Why were you photographed eating out? Do you have a lot of free time?"... There will definitely be comments like these. In extreme cases, they may even come and stake out on you, scold you at the very least, or even throw some dangerous liquids at you."
"Team Leader, it's really not easy for you..."
With such a detailed and precise description, Ji Yunding could immediately guess that these were probably things that Ji Liuxing had actually experienced.
After all, the last person to be created as a god was the one in front of him.
"Don't worry about me for now, the focus now is you." Ji Liuxing shook his head, "You have another problem - your starting point is too high. I have no doubt that you will achieve greater success in the future, but public opinion will not wait for you."
Ji Yunding thought about it and finally said, "I understand all this, but do I have the right to choose?"
The matter of Blood Rain involved too many people. As long as public opinion was left to its own devices, Ji Yunding would naturally be exposed to the public, whether she was willing or not - this was something she had no power to stop.
Ji Liuxing smiled and sighed: "Student Ji Yunding, repeat after me - 'This world will not turn without me'."
"This world...will stop spinning without me?"
"Yes, with this confidence, you should think about your ideas carefully. The key is what you want to do and what is the best choice for you."
Ji Yunding picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, then thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer for the moment.
To be honest, if it was when he first entered school, Ji Yunding would have probably refused it outright, but till now, Ji Yunding always felt that something was not right with him.
"I also want you to think about it more, but because of the red alert bloody rain, the whole society is waiting for news. So... you only have two days to think about it."
………………
"So, that's it." Ji Yunding lay on the table in the dessert shop and weakly told Li Fengqing what happened. "When I enrolled in school, I just wanted five insurances, one housing fund and thirteen salaries..."
"I was wondering why someone told me not to disclose relevant information. Is that the case?" Li Fengqing handed the fried dough twist to Ji Yunding. "But you came at the right time. Someone who may be able to help you will be here this afternoon."
"Who is it?"
"Here I am." Li Fengqing raised his head and pointed in the direction of the store door with his chin.
Ji Yunding looked over and saw a man wearing sunglasses and a mask walking in.
"Um...suspicious person?"
"No, it's Brother Ye Buli!" Nan Xun hurried in behind him, "He said he wants to help you promote it a little bit, and he has contacted Miss Li Fengqing before."
Ji Yunding and Li Fengqing pulled the curtains in the store, hung up a sign saying "temporarily closed", and sat down to watch Ye Buli put on makeup.
In the previous ghost stories, Ji Yunding had not spoken much to Ye Buli, and now he didn't know how to ask.
"By the way, I'm really sorry about what happened before." Nan Xun spoke first, "I don't know what happened... At that time, I just felt that the whole world was trying to harm me."
"That's nothing. You didn't cause any real trouble anyway." Ji Yunding shook his head. "Before I entered school, as an ordinary person, I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't make such a mistake when I was involved in a ghost story. Besides, protecting ordinary people is also part of my job."
"Brother, you should learn how to talk like other people." Nan Xun complained as she put makeup on Ye Buli, "It's hard for the PR department to get negative news about you being a big shot."
"I've tried to talk less."
"Being a star is very hard." Li Fengqing took over at the right time and tried to change the subject to let Ji Yunding ask, "Do you usually run into trouble when you go out?"
Ye Buli thought for a moment and replied, "It's not bad, except for the occasional illegitimate fans sneaking into the hotel..."
"This is already scary." Li Fengqing complained.
"This is how the industry is." Nan Xun sighed, "Brother Ye Buli is still okay, after all, he is a singer. Those little stars who are purely idols are more troublesome."
"My first agent once told me that in the entertainment industry, we only do two things: depict dreams or depict reality."
Ye Buli was obviously used to chatting while putting on makeup, so she didn't make Nan Xun's makeup distorted.
"Because of ghost stories, the atmosphere in the country is becoming more and more panic-stricken. There are more and more messy nightclubs and bars, and people need to vent their fears. Compared to those messy places, celebrities are at least decent... maybe."
"perhaps?"
"Brother Ye Buli, this is an industry secret. You can't offend your peers anymore." Nan Xun said, "Sorry, we can only go so far. Mystery is also very important in our industry."
Ji Yunding shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then lay back on the table and continued to worry.
"In short, most so-called 'stars' are just playing a 'persona'. Grasping the persona, finding a position, transforming... As long as it's not exposed, not many people really care about the real thing. Everyone comes here to enjoy the beautiful dream, and the only thing that is truly precious is the love that the fans themselves give."
Hearing this, Ji Yunding suddenly thought of something and looked up abruptly.
"ah."
"What's wrong?"
"It's alright. Could you please tell me more about 'personality'?"
………………
"Debut?" Ji Liuxing looked at Ji Yunding in front of him and was a little speechless for a moment, "Even if you want to refuse this, you don't have to resign..."
Moreover, the industry span is too large.
"I don't really mean to debut. What everyone needs now is a character that can bring hope instead of me." Ji Yunding said seriously, "I have an idea. Team leader, what do you think of the name 'Yun Xiaoji'?"
Yes, Ji Yunding doesn’t even know how to name something.
"I want to put all my achievements under this name, and then set up a social account and let Mr. An Ming manage and operate it. I will personally review and approve the messages sent out."
Ji Yunding explained his plan to An Ming, who was called by Ji Liuxing.
"Besides, other people can also use this method. On the one hand, it can make the public more aware of the profession of investigators, reduce their fear of us, and make it easier to carry out our work; on the other hand, it can also generate income."
"Um... generating income?"
"I just learned this today. Cheering for the people you like is called 'I support'." Ji Yunding clapped his hands. "In this world, everyone is protected by investigators. There are some weird people, but there must be many normal people who want to express their gratitude."
There are not necessarily many unreasonable people in the world, but unreasonable people are too conspicuous. The harm caused by a bad remark can even exceed hundreds of compliments.
People tend to focus on negative comments, which makes them easily hurt.
"Or we can create a new science app for ghost stories, attach pseudonyms of investigators who are willing to participate, put up their records, make slight changes based on their personalities, and package it into a 'personality' for operation.
While protecting the privacy of investigators, it also allows them to conduct audio-only live broadcasts, which is also beneficial for popular science.
Besides, isn’t it also a problem for investigators to find jobs after retirement? I think this could be helpful as well.”
From the confused expressions of Ji Liuxing and An Ming, we can fully understand the saying "every different profession is like a different mountain".
"Of course, we need to find professionals from Mr. An Ming to consider the specific plan, but in short, let's debut together!"
