A few days later, Li Zhen's entertainment company had signed 20 artists.

There are 8 singers, 4 men and 4 women.

The remaining 12 are all actors, 6 of whom are men and 6 of whom are women.

Although there aren't many people yet, the entertainment company can at least officially start operating.

Li Zhen was present during both the interview and the signing of the contract.

After the signing ceremony, she left, leaving everything to the entertainment company's manager and supervisor.

In addition, Li Zhen's special assistant, Qian Ming, also stayed at the company to preside over meetings and handle some tasks within his capabilities.

Before leaving, Li Zhen specifically instructed Qian Ming not to disturb her unless it was something particularly important.

She wants to enjoy life to the fullest.

Li Zhen only appears when there are important decisions or major events in the company.

Qian Ming was put in charge of all other matters.

That evening, Li Zhen was listening to music and painting in the pavilion in the courtyard.

On the small table next to the drawing board, the phone, which had been perfectly still, suddenly started vibrating for more than ten seconds, forcing Li Zhen to wipe her hands and pick it up.

As a result, the caller ID on the phone showed Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu greeted him excitedly on the other end of the phone:

"Hi, Zhen'er, long time no see, I'm Xiao Yu!"

Li Zhen adjusted the volume of her Bluetooth earphones slightly:

"Hi, Xiao Yu, long time no see."

Xiao Yu:

"Zhen'er, it's been so long since we last met, I miss you so much! I really miss you so much!"

Since returning to Kyoto after his last departure, Xiao Yu has been busy again, with one acting role after another. He finally managed to take a break and call Li Zhen.

Li Zhen: "Yeah, I miss you so much too! You seem to have been quite busy lately!"

Xiao Yu's eyes reddened, filled with immense guilt:

"Yes, I've recently taken on two more projects, so I'm very busy every day. However, during my breaks from filming, I still think about you over and over again. It's a pity that I'll have to be busy for a while longer before I have time to see you."

Li Zhen comforted me gently, "It's alright. You're so busy, you must rest well and take good care of yourself. Don't overwork yourself. By the way, why did you call me today? Besides missing me, is there something else?"

Xiao Yu nodded and confessed truthfully:

"Yes, I do have something very important to tell you. Yesterday, a director I used to know contacted me. He asked if I knew you and if there was any way to find you. I was completely stunned. I thought, how did he know I knew you? That's really strange!"

Li Zhen asked in surprise, "Oh? So how did you tell him?"

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, "I told him that I have a friend who seems to know you, and I can help him get in touch with you."

"Didn't you ask him what he wanted from me? Let me guess, uh... he wouldn't want me to become a singer or participate in some talent show, would he?" Li Zhen could roughly guess the answer to the director's behavior.

Xiao Yu nodded: "He does want to invite you to participate in a program, but it's not a talent show."

"Oh?" Li Zhen smiled, puzzled. "What kind of program is that?"

Xiao Yu said with a serious expression, "It's a program similar to a music variety show, but it's also a little different."

Li Zhen clicked her tongue, feeling very curious: "What's different about it?"

"This show is a music variety show with travel as its theme, but it is not a single variety show but a dual show. While traveling, you can write and sing songs along the way."

"There are also some tasks that the guests need to complete," Xiao Yu explained in detail.

"what?"

Li Zhen felt incredulous, but she was also very frank, asking, "But I'm neither a singer nor an actress, so why would they want to invite me?"

She's just an ordinary person!

Ordinary people can participate in your variety shows at will.

Li Zhen was completely baffled.

Xiao Yu then explained to her, "It's like this, their variety show doesn't only invite celebrities. The guests include actors, singers, and ordinary people, but most of them are from the entertainment industry. It seems there are only two or three spots for ordinary people."

"Huh?" Li Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "Only two or three spots? How could I possibly get one?"

This...this...this is really not right!

Xiao Yu said, both amused and exasperated, "Isn't it because you've become so popular lately? Look how many followers you have on Douyin and WeChat!"

Most popular celebrities don't have as many fans as Li Zhen.

Xiao Yu had already looked at Li Zhen's homepage on both platforms before calling her.

To be honest, in less than a month, Lee Jung's fan base has surpassed that of this top-tier celebrity.

Xiao Yu has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he has tens of millions of fans on various platforms.

As a result, in such a short time, Li Zhen's fans on several platforms have become equal to his.

He really felt like crying.

Someone who didn't want to enter the entertainment industry became an idol in the hearts of countless people almost overnight. This is something that is extremely difficult for many ordinary people.

So to be honest, he envied Li Zhen.

Li Zhen shook her head, puzzled. "I don't know. I haven't been paying much attention to how many fans I have lately."

“Before, we only saw millions.”

"Does it have tens of millions now?"

"That's right!" Xiao Yu almost laughed herself to tears.

"You'd better use your brain! Go check right now, your followers have already surpassed mine!"

"Huh? No way?" Li Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, then she exited the call and went to the Douyin platform.

Click to go to her own homepage.

Upon closer inspection.

Number of followers: 1998 million.

Xiao Yu has 1450 million fans.

Li Zhen was stunned for a while, then logged out and logged into Weibo.

Her number of followers on Weibo is even more outrageous, exceeding that on Douyin.

Weibo followers: 3299 million.

However, Xiao Yu has 3266 million followers on Weibo.

She actually outperformed Xiao Yu on both platforms.

After quitting Weibo, Li Zhen was now left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Xiao Yu then asked on the other end of the phone, "Well, you should have seen it by now, right?"

"Hmm." Li Zhen nodded blankly, unsure of what to say.

Xiao Yu then asked, "Now you should believe how popular you are, right?"

"Hmm." Li Zhen nodded again, but her expression was still a little blank.

"Xiao Yu, what should I do? How come I suddenly have more fans than you, a big star?"

This is absolutely terrible!

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then said jokingly, "Looks like you're quite destined for the entertainment industry!"

"I didn't want you to get involved in this mess, but Director Xu has been kind to me, so I can't just leave without helping you at all."

"However, the decision of whether or not to participate in that variety show is yours!"

"If you're willing to participate, go and have some fun. That variety show is quite interesting. If you're not willing, I'll go and explain it to Director Xu."

"It's no big deal!"

"Hmm, let me think about it first!" Li Zhen hadn't really made up her mind yet and wanted to think about it some more.

Xiao Yu's gentle voice rang out again, "Okay, just call me when you've made up your mind."

"No matter what, I will always support you! I support all your decisions."

Hearing Xiao Yu's heartwarming words, Li Zhen felt a warmth in her heart. "Okay, thank you. I'll call you back later."

"Okay, I have to go now. That's all for today, bye-bye!" Xiao Yu said goodbye to Li Zhen gently.

Li Zhen replied softly, "Okay, bye-bye!"

After ending the call with Xiao Yu, Li Zhen packed up her paintings and went back to her room.

After washing her hands, she went upstairs.

Li Zhen lay on the bed, eyes closed, mind blank, just sitting there in a starfish position.

No one knows how long she pondered, until she got hungry, and then she left the second floor and went to the lobby on the first floor.

Two chefs had already prepared a meal for her in the hall.

After finishing her meal, Li Zhen went back upstairs again and spent nearly an hour thinking before making a decision.

After making her decision, she called Xiao Yu back. When Xiao Yu received the call, she really didn't expect that she would call her back so late at night.

Xiao Yu originally thought that Li Zhen probably hadn't thought it through today and would have to wait until the next day to give him an answer.

The result... well, it's great!

Li Zhen told Xiao Yu on the phone that she was willing to participate in that variety show. It's just about having fun, and traveling is what she's best at.

Xiao Yu didn't notice anything unusual about Li Zhen's emotions, so she was certain that Li Zhen genuinely wanted to participate in the program.

He was happy and excited about Li Zhen's decision.

Finally, he told Lee Jung that the filming of the program would begin in about a week.

During this time, she can rest at home and organize her belongings.

When Li Zhen heard that the recording of the program was still a while away, she was no longer so nervous or worried.
