This was Lin Mu Ci’s first time seeing the world popularity table displayed by the little system.
“Given personal time at the Super Bowl to perform your single. World popularity +5%.”
The little system explained to Lin Mu Ci.
“The Super Bowl is a very important program.”
“Because its viewership in foreign countries is extremely high. It’s recognized that only global top-tier artists get personal performance time; only globally sensational and popular artists can enjoy this unique treatment.”
Hearing the little system say this, Lin Mu Ci immediately asked.
“What about Ling Qian He? Does he have this treatment?”
Lin Mu Ci wanted to know this. The little system heard Lin Mu Ci’s words and immediately scratched its head. After a moment, the little system hummed.
“He does.”
“Ling Qian He does indeed possess this treatment.”
“Moreover, Ling Qian He has appeared in the Super Bowl for two consecutive years, with his performance during halftime lasting a full thirty minutes.”
“The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the North American NFL professional American football league and has extremely high attention. That’s why he became globally famous overnight!”
So that’s how it was.
Lin Mu Ci indicated she understood.
“However, it’s very difficult for female artists to step onto this stage. And you are an Asian star…”
Lin Mu Ci calmly retorted.
“Isn’t there the example of Ling Qian He?”
The little system chuckled foolishly.
“Yes, there’s the example of Ling Qian He. But… anyway, I think you can try.”
Lin Mu Ci continued to look at the table.
“UN Goodwill Ambassador…”
She wasn’t surprised by this.
She did engage in charity, but this wasn’t something that could be rushed.
“Officially announce boyfriend. If the object is Ling Qian He, world popularity +5%.”
Lin Mu Ci looked at this entry and was a little displeased.
“Are you my system or Ling Qian He’s system? Which side are you on?”
The little system just chuckled foolishly.
“This requirement shouldn’t be too much, right?”
It wasn’t too much, but— Lin Mu Ci took a deep breath, then said coldly.
“Put it aside for now.”
It was still too early for her to announce a boyfriend.
She wanted to push her career further.
She didn’t want to be tied down with Ling Qian He so early!
Of course, the most important reason was that she didn’t want that guy Ling Qian He to get too smug!
Lin Mu Ci’s fingertips gently tapped on the pop-up window that appeared before her.
After a moment, Lin Mu Ci saw a task she could accomplish.
“Facilitate the launch of the program ‘I Repair Cultural Relics Globally’! Protect ancient sites. Accept interviews. Global popularity +3%.”
This one was feasible. She pointed to it and asked the system.
“What is this?”
The little system explained to her.
“This is because a certain unlucky TV station planner had a project that couldn’t proceed due to lack of funding, called ‘I Repair Cultural Relics Globally’.”
“The producer of this program is similar to Wu Min Long; he’s also gone all-in wanting to make a program, sold his house, and wants to create a program that protects cultural relics and promotes global cultural exchange.”
“But this program is currently facing great resistance.”
“It cannot proceed.”
“If it continues on its current trajectory, he will go bankrupt and commit suicide by burning charcoal to avoid implicating his wife and children. And this project will be forever shelved.”
This program seemed to have great potential.
Lin Mu Ci continued to read.
“Help Wu Min Long complete his film.”
“Become the female lead in Wu Min Long’s film.”
“Global popularity undecided. System estimates between 5% to 10% popularity.”
“‘I Thrive in the World of Scum Abuse’ is released. Gain popularity based on the film’s reception. The current film has not yet been released. System estimates gaining popularity around 10%!”
Looking at it this way, although her current popularity was only 23%.
If two films were successfully released, coupled with the dating show’s boost.
By the time the girl group Era disbanded and she went solo, her popularity could smoothly soar to around 50%!
This rate of increase was incredibly satisfying.
However, thinking about Wu Min Long’s film, it would probably be very arduous to shoot.
He was from a martial arts background, so his requirements would definitely be stringent.
It meant that as soon as she finished filming here, she would immediately have to join the crew there.
Thinking about it, Lin Mu Ci couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Too tiring.
If it weren’t for the desire to quickly reach 90% world popularity, she wouldn’t have scheduled her work so tightly!
She didn’t even have time to catch her breath.
But thinking that Ling Qian He’s workload over the past five years could only have been greater, she couldn’t help but admire him.
Ling Qian He was truly driven.
She looked at the table provided by the little system again and, after thinking for a moment, asked the little system.
“Is the guy who came up with ‘I Repair Cultural Relics Globally’ about to die? Can he hold on for a little longer? I’m about to film a variety show, and then I have Wu Min Long’s movie to take on, so I’m really spread too thin…”
The little system responded naturally.
“He’s not about to die immediately, but—”
The little system was also a bit troubled.
“His situation isn’t very optimistic either. The main issue is that his program requires too much investment, and ordinary investors really can’t afford it.”
“You could find someone to help him first.”
“There’s a large funding gap, and no one is willing to take on his project for the producer. He has no connections, which is very troublesome.”
“Of course, once this project launches, the returns will be huge. It’s considered one of the most profitable projects globally for gaining fame, especially since it’s about promoting cultural relics… If done well, it’s also a form of external publicity.”
Lin Mu Ci immediately made a decision.
“Then I’ll have my mother look into whether this project has investment value.”
“As for the producer, how about He Yun Ru?”
She had asked He Yun Ru before. After she finished “I Thrive in the World of Scum Abuse,” she wouldn’t be preparing for her next film for a while. She would likely just oversee the film’s post-production! So she would have free time.
Moreover, she came from a prestigious family and indeed had deep feelings for classical relics. Having her take on this project would be most suitable!
The little system told her to make her own decision. Lin Mu Ci immediately displayed her demeanor as a strong woman. She directly called He Yun Ru. Upon hearing her words, He Yun Ru was initially a little surprised, then immediately nodded in agreement.
“I’ll go take a look.”
“If this project is good, I can certainly take it on.”
“If it’s done well, it’s very merit-accumulating, after all, it’s about spreading and promoting our culture. We truly have many excellent things passed down from history, and these good things indeed need to be seen by others!”
He Yun Ru liked the project very much.
“If he really does it well, not just squandering money or deceiving for projects, I’m certainly willing to give it a try.”
“But the prerequisite is funding. Channels.”
“This project needs to be sustainable.”
“I started my career in finance and have managed businesses; I can’t engage in losing ventures.”
Lin Mu Ci found the guy’s contact information online. He used to be a documentary director and had made quite a few well-known documentaries. It was just that due to disagreements with his superiors, he had left his original unit to go solo, posting many of his own photography works on his account.
She sent the contact information to He Yun Ru and could patiently wait for news. She trusted He Yun Ru to handle things.
He Yun Ru then thought of something and asked her.
“Xiao Ci, did you lend Kanner, the design director of Kanai, Zi Mu’s ‘Nine Heavens Phoenix Palace’ dress?”
“To help him design jewelry?”
Lin Mu Ci nodded.
“Yes. Why?”
He Yun Ru chuckled lightly over the phone.
“It’s nothing. I just feel like you seem to have a very good relationship with Zi Mu. I know a friend who also really wants a dress from Zi Mu. It’s said she’s going to be married into a very high-status man, so she really wants a dress from Zi Mu as her engagement gown. She’s offering a very high price.”
“Eight figures!”
“She’s very sincere, which is why I thought to ask you, Xiao Ci.”
“Are you willing to be a bridge?”
“She comes from a wealthy family herself, perhaps you know her, Xiao Ci. Her name is Shi Fang Fei, and her family is in real estate.”
A wealthy family marriage? A man of high status?
Lin Mu Ci’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be Ling Qian He? If he was going to get married without her knowing, she would… she would grab a knife and kill him!
And He Yun Ru’s next sentence made Lin Mu Ci deeply relieved.
“Her fiancé is the CEO of Feng Corporation, Feng Yu Ting.”
Lin Mu Ci was slightly taken aback.
Feng Yu Ting is getting engaged? She hadn’t heard any such news.
The little system slowly grumbled in her mind.
“Don’t believe it, don’t believe it. It’s all fake.”
“This is a show put on by Feng Yu Ting and Ling Qian He for the shareholders. The Ling family is about to hold a new shareholder meeting.”
“Shi Fang Fei was originally chosen by Madam Ling as a marriage alliance partner for Ling Qian He.”
“Ling Qian He didn’t want her, so she was passed to Feng Yu Ting. I don’t know what deal he made with Feng Yu Ting… to get Feng Yu Ting to agree to the marriage.”
“Since Ling Qian He guessed that you have a system, it’s become difficult for us to monitor some of his actions…”
“However, his blackening value has been quite stable, fluctuating around 50%.”
“Anyway, his collaboration with Feng Yu Ting is probably intended to pit Feng Yu Ting against them.”
“Feng Yu Ting is playing along? He probably has his own subtle thoughts and calculations.”
“The two men are calculating against each other, you shouldn’t get involved in this mess, should you?”
Lin Mu Ci also felt that she should stay away from such scenes of undercurrents between men.
However, He Yun Ru then asked her.
“Xiao Ci? If it’s convenient for you, Shi Fang Fei wants to meet you with her fiancé.”
“She seems to be a fan and likes you quite a bit. Her parents are close friends with me, and when she made this request, I couldn’t easily refuse, Xiao Ci?”
She tried to communicate with Lin Mu Ci.
Lin Mu Ci coughed, unsure whether to refuse or accept. She was certainly not afraid of a rich young lady; she herself was a human embodiment of wealth and splendor. She wouldn’t lose in terms of wealth.
But if Feng Yu Ting were also present… the situation would likely get a bit out of control.
Moreover, besides Ling Qian He, Feng Yu Ting now also knew her secret, knew that she was the older sister Mu Ci from five years ago who was with Ling Qian He…
Lin Mu Ci pursed her lips, thinking that hiding wasn’t a solution. It might be better to take the initiative. To see what cards Feng Yu Ting was planning to play.
So she raised her head, a clear smile in her eyes.
“Okay.”
She agreed!
Feng Yu Ting, he couldn’t be more of a lunatic than Qian He, right?
With outsiders present, Lin Mu Ci felt he should at least maintain some decorum!
