Chapter 357 A Divine Combination, A Huge Explosion in the Entertainment Industry [3 Updates]
Producer Li's hand trembled, and the thermos cup fell directly to the ground.
His expression froze, as if he were hallucinating: "Who did you say? Whose call is that?"
Qin Lingyu is an anomaly in the entertainment industry; she has no company and no agent.
Except for the initial period after she returned to China, Chuguang Media helped her find venues for her tour in 30 cities across the country.
From then on, all of Qin Lingyu's activities were arranged by herself, based on what she wanted to do.
Qin Lingyu is very lazy. She prefers to be idle whenever possible and tells her fans to find their own food and not to always make her work.
This kind of attitude would be considered negative in the entertainment industry.
Traffic is not something that lasts forever.
But Qin Lingyu's constitution is amazing; she has always been able to become popular.
Even so, Qin Lingyu's fan base only grew.
Because of her excellent gaming skills, when she's in a good mood, Qin Lingyu will go to the Shark Live platform to start a game live stream, carry her fans, and even help them recharge and buy equipment.
Qin Lingyu has been single for three whole months since her last public appearance, but there are still quite a few projects waiting for her to call.
In fact, many production companies were willing to postpone their projects in order to wait for her.
Producer Li and director Li, who are all in the industry, are well aware of Qin Lingyu's habit.
Therefore, they did not expect Qin Lingyu to come.
But now?!
Producer Li immediately jumped up and snatched the phone from the director's hand again.
His voice was trembling and out of tune: "Hello."
"Hello, this is Qin Lingyu." The woman's voice on the other end of the phone was lazy and chuckled. "Are you guys short of a boy band initiator? I happen to be free and want to drive an idiot crazy. Do you think I'm up to the task?"
"Sure! Of course!" Producer Li barely suppressed his elation. "As long as you come, you can make as many idiots as you want angry to death, we'll do it for you!"
Qin Lingyu: "...No need for that."
She was just used to bickering with Qin Lingyan, always trying to get the upper hand verbally, and neither of them wanted to be the one being teased.
"Mr. Qin, when do you have time?" Producer Li asked. "I'd like to come and sign the contract with you."
"We can finish today." Qin Lingyu opened a can of beer. "I need to be done before seven o'clock so I can go get some barbecue."
"Definitely, definitely," Producer Li readily agreed.
After the call ended, he let out a long sigh of relief and slumped back into his seat, exhausted.
But less than two seconds later, he jumped up again.
"Quick! Pinch me!" Producer Li's expression was frantic. "Pinch me and tell me this isn't a dream!"
The director hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped Producer Li across the face.
A clear handprint was left behind.
"Hahaha, it's not a dream!" Despite being slapped, Producer Li was overjoyed. "It's real! It's real!"
He really was able to cooperate with Qin Lingyu!
"Brother Li, something's wrong!" The director suddenly realized a serious problem. "We've already contacted Actress Xie's side, and now you've agreed to Teacher Qin's request. What are we going to do with these two?"
An international film queen and a top-tier celebrity—you can't afford to offend either of them.
Moreover, the order of billing is also an issue; if it's not handled properly, the fans of both sides could tear the production team apart.
"Damn it, who said there can only be one initiator for a boy band? Who said that? Did I say it? Did you say it?" Producer Li couldn't calm down at all. He started gesturing wildly, hands on his hips, laughing hysterically. "There are only two of us, hahahahaha, damn it!"
The director stood aside, wondering if he should slap Producer Li a few more times to bring him to his senses.
But in reality, he was also internally furious.
Xie Manyu's star power directly elevated the "Youth 202" program to a higher level.
If Qin Lingyu comes again, things will be even more complicated.
Both of them have a large fan base overseas, which is enough to make the show popular abroad.
From this moment on, "Youth 202" is no longer just a simple talent show.
In all their years in the entertainment industry, they have never encountered such an amazing combination.
"Quickly, get everyone ready." After dancing for a while, Producer Li finally came to his senses. Of course, he wouldn't forget the most important thing. "I'll personally prepare the contracts and invite Teacher Xie and Teacher Qin over to sign them!"
"Once the contract is signed, we'll post it on Weibo, hahaha! I'll slap Ye Xi and her bunch of idiot fans until their faces are swollen!"
Before the director could react, Producer Li had already dashed out of the room like the wind.
The assistant director came in at that moment and was slammed against the wall by the door.
He walked in, covering his nose, puzzled. "Director, what happened to Brother Li? I see a handprint on his face. Did his wife hit him?"
The director's hands were still trembling. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
After barely calming his agitated emotions, he finally spoke softly, "No, he's gone mad."
"Crazy?" the assistant director joked. "Why are they crazy? Is Xie Manyu coming?"
Upon hearing this, the director stopped smoking and stared directly at the assistant director.
The assistant director felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze and instinctively pulled his coat tighter around himself: "Director, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You've got a bright future ahead of you, kid." The director walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with great satisfaction, "Look, from now on, I won't worship the mountain god or hire a feng shui master when I start filming. I'll just worship you, my prophet, how about that?"
Assistant Director: "???"
**
As China's top entertainment company that consistently rakes in money, Chuguang Media had already prepared numerous risk mitigation plans when it invested in "Youth 202" in order to prevent such unforeseen circumstances.
After Ye Xi posted that Weibo post, Chuguang Media activated its backup plan and arranged for one of its actresses to go there.
Although this actress isn't a top star, she has a high level of national recognition and is well-liked in the industry. She's friends with many celebrities and happens to be one of the targets that Ye Xi's fans dare not criticize.
He's been scolded; I doubt anyone will cooperate with Ye Xi anymore.
To everyone's surprise, the "Youth 202" program team actually managed to invite Xie Manyu and Qin Lingyu.
As soon as Ying Zijing returned to the ISC training camp, she received a call from her female secretary: "Boss, it's incredible! My daughter and my goddess are going to perform on the same stage!"
Ying Zijin: "..."
She genuinely didn't realize that her secretary was a true fangirl.
This celebrity chase led to a family, saving them the trouble of getting married and having children.
Ying Zijing turned on her computer: "Your daughter?"
"Qin Lingyu, the enchanting fairy!" the female secretary was still screaming. "Ahhh, I'm dying! Boss, could you use your privileges to get me a ticket for the first row of the inner section?"
"Sure, I'll deduct it from your salary."
"..."
The female secretary went to work with tears in her eyes.
Ying Zijing looked at the photo of Qin Lingyu that her female secretary had sent her and felt a sense of familiarity.
She opened a chat window and contacted Qin Lingyan.
[Baby face, do you have other relatives?]
Qin Lingyan was still sulking when she saw these words, and she exploded even more.
Yes, she's dead!!!
Qin Lingyu is your sister.
Qin Lingyan was startled when she saw this line of text.
[Wow, how did you know?]
Although their names clearly indicate a connection, there are many people in the world with the same first and last name, let alone similar names.
Qin Lingyu and he really don't look alike; one has a mature, sophisticated face, while the other has a youthful, innocent face.
[I'm guessing, her eyes look a bit like yours.]
"She's nothing! I'm prettier than her. Look at how ugly she is, I'm embarrassed to even say she's my sister."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow.
She opened the list of national goddesses selected by Weibo last year.
Qin Lingyu has topped the list of goddesses.
She received a total of over 50 million votes, while Ye Xi came in second with just over 9 million.
Since they are both top celebrities, there is no harm without comparison.
The photo used in this ranking is a cosplay picture of Qin Lingyu, who is cosplaying a character from a currently popular MOBA mobile game.
Mulan.
Despite being clad in armor, her stunning figure was undeniable; she truly deserved to be called a celestial being.
Ying Zijing casually typed a program on her computer and imported the photo into it.
In just a few seconds, the photo's clarity reached its maximum, to the point where you could even count the number of eyelashes.
Ying Zijing zoomed in on the photo and could clearly see the calluses on Qin Lingyu's hands.
These kinds of cocoons are not something most people have.
She seemed to be deep in thought, and slowly typed out a sentence.
[Your sister is an assassin; becoming a star in the entertainment industry is actually a good way to cover it up and avoid being discovered.]
