Chapter 351 Ancient Doctor, the Person Protected by Chuguang Media [1st Update]
This call was made to the headquarters of Tianxing Entertainment.
This year, Tianxing Entertainment is more popular than Chuguang Media because the top performers in the "Youth 101" group are all from Tianxing Entertainment, as is Ye Xi, a top female celebrity.
But in reality, it's because Chuguang Media had already expanded its market to the international film and music industries a few years ago, and international film queens like Xie Manyu no longer work in China.
After joining Chuguang Media, Shang Yaozhi, a top-tier actor, has also begun to engage with the international market.
In terms of influence, Tianxing Entertainment still can't compare to Chuguang Media.
Last year, Tianxing Entertainment partnered with the international entertainment company Times Media in order to compete with Chuguang Media.
Therefore, Tianxing Entertainment attaches great importance to this "Youth 202". They want to create stars artificially, and they must create another top male star. Even if they can't surpass Shang Yaozhi, they must at least be on par with him.
"What's going on with Producer Li?" Chen Li frowned. "Why is he getting involved?"
"Sister Li, I asked them. It was Chuguang Media that called," the assistant on the other end of the phone said. "They said there was unfair competition, and if it's not dealt with, they'll withdraw their investment."
Chen Li scoffed, "Then let them withdraw. Who's afraid of who? Didn't we invest?"
"But...but Sister Li...Chuguang Media invested 600 million." The assistant wiped her sweat. "We only invested 200 million, and the company is currently facing a cash crunch. If Chuguang Media withdraws its investment, this will..."
Chen Li's face turned pale and then red. In a fit of anger, she blurted out, "I'll just say it straight: companies like Chuguang Media are doomed to fail sooner or later."
In the era of massive data usage, who still sticks to the old ways?
All it takes is hype; no real ability is needed to rake in a lot of money.
Chuguang Media still claims to only train actors and singers, and Chen Li believes that it will eventually be replaced by Tianxing Entertainment.
Chen Li was furious. After thinking for a moment, she dialed another number.
In any case, she would try her best to prevent Yun and Yue from participating in the competition.

In mid-January, the second ISC training camp also began.
Ying Zijing left the Ling family mansion and moved to an apartment in the training camp.
Because Xiu Yan was kicked out last time, an extra spot was opened up and given to another true academic genius, which improved the atmosphere considerably.
"Ying, classmate." After not seeing her for several months, Zuo Li greeted her happily, taking off his hat to show his face. "Look at my hair, isn't it so black and thick?"
He's already the guy with the most hair among all the physics professors.
Ying Zijing looked at his messy, bird's nest-like hair: "..."
She felt it was necessary for Shaoren Hospital to replace Zuo Li's hair growth shampoo with a hair loss treatment.
“Professor Herwin called me a few times.” Zuo Li put her hat back on, looking somewhat aggrieved. “Why did you agree to go to his lab? We knew each other first, didn’t we?”
Ying Zijing glanced at him and said calmly, "Because he is the top expert in the field of quantum mechanics."
“That works too.” Zuo Li thought for a moment, “Anyway, you’re Chinese and you’ll have to come back. Perfect, you’ve learned all his techniques, so you can secretly teach me when you come back.”
Ying Zijing pondered for a moment: "But you never know. I'll also go to the capital. We'll see then."
For her, nothing was more important than resolving Wen Fengmian's matter than her family.
Zuo Li nodded: "Anyway, I've already given you an associate professorship in the physics department, so you can come whenever you want."
Ying Zijin nodded and went upstairs.
The phone rang at that moment; it was Jiang Ran calling.
"Father Ying, listen to me." His voice was more serious than ever before. "Whatever you do, never tell anyone that you saved me. Xiu Yu and I know this, that's enough. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow.
She suddenly felt that her son cared about her.
"I know," Ying Zijing said calmly. "Don't worry, nobody believes me."
Jiang Ran: "..."
He couldn't refute that.
Like ancient martial arts, ancient medicine requires years of accumulated knowledge and experience.
Aside from a few highly talented individuals, the older generation is generally more skilled.
Jiang Ran has also met many geniuses.
Ancient martial arts were predominantly male, while ancient medicine was predominantly female.
There are three very young traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, all of whom are women and are only twenty-five years old this year.
Especially Lin Qingjia, the stepdaughter of Lin Jinyun, the head of the Lin family, has a high talent for ancient martial arts and is also good at medicine.
So even though her mother was just an ordinary person, no one in the Lin family dared to utter a single word.
After all, there are very few people who are proficient in both ancient medicine and ancient martial arts; one might not appear for decades.
But Jiang Ran had never seen anyone like Ying Zijin before; she wasn't just a genius, she was a god.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.
“Father Ying, you don’t know,” Jiang Ran said again, “the Fu family’s ancestor actually gave my mother a beauty pill that could extend her life by eighty years.”
Ying Zijing's eyes narrowed slightly: "The 'fu' in 'rising and falling'?"
“Yeah,” Jiang Ran muttered. “That ancestor is way older than my dad. My dad was terrified. Even Shi Fengyi isn’t that valuable. It’s really strange.”
Ying Zijing didn't speak again; she fell silent.
She has already figured out the reason for this.
Fu Xi is a good disciple in every way, except that she is sometimes too generous and doesn't know how to take care of herself.
A drug that extends lifespan by eighty years might damage one's own physical essence.
Ying Zijing put down her phone and patted her head.
If necessary, she still needs to make a trip to the field of ancient medicine.

On the morning of January 23, "Youth 202" released photos of 101 contestants.
Some have been heavily edited, some haven't.
Yun and Yue didn't have any makeup, but her natural face actually outshone the other contestants.
[Holy crap, I'm dead! What an incredibly handsome young man! His looks are killing me!]
[Just a heads-up: this contestant is named Yun Heyue, he's 20 years old, an independent trainee, and has incredibly strong singing and dancing abilities. There are dance clips of him on Bilibili, and his singing is amazing!]
[Vote for him! This incredibly handsome young man absolutely has to debut!]
The internet is buzzing with excitement. "Youth 202" also started recording this afternoon, and it will be edited and uploaded to Grape TV over the weekend.
At this moment, the contestants are lining up to get their makeup done.
The production team provided a dedicated makeup artist and a dressing room.
Ying Zijing continued to act as an assistant, following Yun and Yue in.
Yun and Yue typed something for her to see.
"Sister, I'm going to the restroom, wait for me a moment."
Ying Zijin nodded, entered the dressing room first, and sat down.
At that moment, a staff member walked in, fuming: "Who let you in? This is Sister Ye Xi's private dressing room. If you break anything, can you afford to pay for it?"
Ying Zijing turned her head, her eyes indifferent, her pupils as white as snow: "A private dressing room, deliberately assigned to a contestant?"
The staff member flinched slightly, but still feigned toughness: "So what if it's on purpose?"
Ying Zijing ignored him, picked up her phone, and called her female secretary: "Find a top-notch makeup artist in a dressing room that's been cleared out in the company, and bring a set of the best cosmetics. I'll bring someone with me."
Chuguang Media is only a ten-minute walk from here, and they acted very quickly.
The only downside to losing her divine calculation ability is that it wastes her time.
Fortunately, judging by the time it takes, I'll recover soon.
Ying Zijing got up and left the dressing room.
Yun and Yue returned just then, her eyes filled with inquiry.
"Let's go." Ying Zijing said lazily. "The cosmetics here are too cheap. I'll take you somewhere else."
Yun and Yue immediately understood what had happened. She held up her phone, which displayed a single sentence.
Sister, I will definitely work hard to earn money for you!
**
Inside the dressing room.
The staff member rearranged the chairs and sneered, "What are you pretending for? Do you really think you're some company boss? Tch."
An assistant, how dare he put on airs.
Five minutes later, Ye Xi arrived at the dressing room.
This is indeed Ye Xi's private dressing room. She is the initiator of this boy group and has brought a lot of buzz to the show.
“Sister Xi.” Her assistant helped her with her bag, “Sister Li deliberately assigned Yun Heyue’s dressing room to you. Won’t that have any impact on you? He’s very popular online.”
"Sister Li is my mentor after all," Ye Xi said calmly. "I can help her with this little thing. If something goes wrong, it's the production team's responsibility."
As she spoke, she picked up the primer and foundation from the side and began applying makeup.
After applying foundation, she picked up the concealer.
The assistant suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Xi, your...your neck..."
"What?" Ye Xi lowered the mirror, and with a tremor of her hand, the mirror smashed onto the table.
There were red spots on her neck, and they were still growing, already reaching her chin.
Ye Xi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Who came in? Who touched my cosmetics?!"
The show is scheduled to be recorded this afternoon. How can she host it looking like this?
The staff members standing nearby were also stunned.
Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, he shouted, "Yes! Yun Heyue's assistant!"
The assistant was also furious: "Then why don't you bring her here right now? Sister Xi's face is insured; even if she pays with her life, it won't be enough!"
Ye Xi is currently very popular, and she and Shang Yaozhi have a lot of CP fans, who are even more popular than her own fans.
After something like this happened, the fans were so angry that they practically tore Yunheyue's assistant apart.
The clouds and the moon will also perish.
The remaining updates will be at 7 PM.
There hasn't been a big update yet, but we can look forward to an extra chapter, lol.
