CHAPTER 26
In the evening, Wang Jie called to notify Li Zixi of a variety show 《Let's Chat》 that she'll be on. This variety show is among the top five rated talk show in the country.
The theme of this episode is: Looking for the *first love in the advertisement.
[*first love – I think this is the 'nation's first love' which would be an actress who looks like your innocent and pretty girl next door]
It mainly introduces some pure-looking actresses who often appear in advertisements. Most of these actresses are models and some have even gone viral.
The guests who will be on the show have already been booked, and there is no Li Zixi in it.
Generally, it's impossible to be invited without a certain degree of reputation. After all, the people in the program group also have to eat. Inviting an unfamiliar celebrity would mean low ratings. The consequence of low ratings is that the funds provided by the station will be reduced, and their treatment deteriorates.
But a few days ago, the head of Muzi Pictures very obscurely mentioned to Wang Jie to let Li Zixi have more opportunities of exposure. Therefore, Wang Jie did everything possible using relationships to get her such an exposure.
Anyway, a few well-known female celebrities have already been invited, it doesn't hurt to add one more. Moreover, Muzi Pictures is also the largest film and television company domestically. Their artists must have their own merits and it is impossible for them to remain anonymous forever. Even if this female star has no shining point, letting Muzi Pictures owe them a favor is a guaranteed profit.
With these idea in mind, the program team readily agreed to their request.
When Li Zixi received the news, there wasn't much feeling because she didn't know the popularity of 《Let's Chat》 domestically. Naturally, she didn't get excited. She just felt that having a backer is good. She doesn't have to bother about these things, the resources fly into her hands.
Wang Jie said that she would gain exposure after this program. She nodded in agreement to applying for a Weibo account.
Until Wang Jie said something like this:
"You are a female celebrity who has no work, no mass base and no popularity. In order to make your Weibo look not so ugly, the company decided to buy you fans. Of course, because you are not popular, buying too much, I'm afraid it will be discovered. So, at first, only 200,000 can be bought. The amount that will be bought in the future will depend on your level of development. So, you should not complain against the company..."
Before Wang Jie finished talking, Li Zixi interrupted Wang Jie's words: "Hold on, Wang Jie. Don't buy fans."
Wang Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "En? Do you have any other ideas? After all, buying fans will be beneficial for you. "
Li Zixi said: "En, I know, the company is doing this for my own good. But I don't want to buy fans, I don't want to take the internet celebrity route. I want to honestly act. 200,000, 2 million, or even 20 million fans make no difference to me. I want the audience to recognize me in the drama, not only on the internet."
Li Zixi paused for a moment, hearing no response from the other end of the phone. She went on to say, "Of course, having more fans is good, but if these fans are following me not because they like me and my acting, what's the significance of that to me? I don't need this so-called glamorized facade."
