Chapter 694 Solid Evidence of Ambiguity, Heading to Jinse to Shoot the Cover of the September Magazine
Fans of the two are aware that this is just a joke.
But other uninformed netizens don't know that!
Upon seeing this trending topic, they excitedly clicked to watch, and then...

[This is a scam!!!]
[I dodged real-life scams, but I couldn't escape online scams!]
[Please pay me back for this message, and also compensate me for emotional distress, unfulfilled expectations, unfulfilled joy, and being deceived.]
[It has to be said, even UC's shocking news department is no match for them (utterly dumbfounded)]
[Congratulations to Vitamin for creating a brand new news style term: "Imaginative Style"!]
Although netizens were tricked into clicking, they all left a friendly comment and then left.
Regardless, this trending topic eventually spread and went viral on various social media platforms.
Some netizens didn't even read the content of this trending topic clearly; they just saw the title and started commenting.
[It's finally official! We've been waiting for a year!]
Ever since they both took the college entrance exams in the same year, I've been eagerly anticipating their official announcement. They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven, compatible in every way from academics to careers to personalities!
My daughter deserves the best!
Currently, it seems that only Gu Cheng in your circle doesn't look like a "ninth-tier loser" (someone who didn't pass the college entrance exam).
Congratulations! Time to set off firecrackers!
Can I dream about participating in a reality show about living together after marriage?
Wow, the lady upstairs is really daring! I only dream of being a dating reality show observer and I already think that's pretty imaginative~
[They're so newlywed, I love it! Go on a dating reality show, I want to watch!]
Because netizens were discussing it enthusiastically, everyone was offering their congratulations and blessings.
This led to...
Many brands that were originally aware of the inside story have begun to doubt themselves.
Actually, that trending topic on the internet wasn't something netizens deliberately made up or spread rumors about; it was something Gu Cheng and Jin Li released together, right?
For example, could this be a way to gauge public opinion on the two being together?
Or perhaps, it's through netizens' words that their true relationship has been confirmed.
People from many brands and entertainment companies have been discussing this in group chats these past few days—
So, are Jinli and Gu Cheng really dating? I thought it was just rumors from netizens, but they definitely have a lot of vitamins in their bodies!
[I have no idea! The media didn't reveal anything about it, nor did they capture any pictures of them on a date!]
No, I suddenly realized something. The media did take photos, but they were almost always at large gatherings, so they only captured group photos, not intimate shots!
So, are the two really dating? Can someone give me confirmation? All I see are rumors circulating online.
[It seems real, but it's not certain yet because neither the celebrity's nor the company's accounts have made any statement!]
[Okay, what a disappointment. I thought we could invite them to be the spokespeople for our wedding photos. One is so cool and handsome, the other is so beautiful and cute, the wedding photos would definitely be stunning!]
have to say.
Brands and industry insiders are more imaginative than netizens.
Not only wedding photos, but even maternal and infant companies have contacted Chenxi Entertainment asking if they could hire Jinli to endorse their milk powder.
If you don't want to endorse baby formula, you can also endorse various pacifiers, baby clothes, baby feeding items, etc.
All of Morning Light Entertainment: ?
No way, everyone's still wondering if the two have officially announced their relationship, and you guys are already moving so fast, fast-forwarding to marriage and having a baby, and the baby's already out there??
The contact person from the maternal and infant group replied with utmost solemnity and seriousness:
[It's okay, you can still endorse my baby and maternity products even if you don't get married or have children!]
Morning Light Entertainment: ...
Perhaps we should be glad you didn't add "not dating" to your endorsement?
Anyway, the employees of Chenxi Entertainment couldn't understand it.
They immediately relayed the feedback to Sui Lingfang.
However, Sui Lingfang couldn't understand it either.
"There's no official announcement. Where did this news come from? The two of them have never made an official announcement, nor will they make any public statements. Let netizens think and speculate as they please, as long as the two of them don't show affection in public."
Creating a romantic pairing with co-stars, becoming regular acting partners, and eventually even becoming their boyfriend/girlfriend—this is something only short drama actors do.
Currently, no actor in a long-running drama series dares to walk this path in public.
Even the most famous couples keep a low profile in public, which is to take care of each other's fans.
After all, not all fans are CP fans; many just want to see celebrities focus on their careers.
Sui Lingfang was also afraid that her judgment was inaccurate, so she specifically asked Jinli, "Have you and Gu Cheng officially announced your relationship?"
Jinli looked at her blankly: "Huh?"
Seeing her like this, Sui Lingfang understood everything.
Well, another blunder.
This misunderstanding led many netizens to believe that the two had officially announced their relationship.
She recounted what had happened online. Jinli was about to say not to worry about it, and if all else failed, to post an official statement and respect the choices of both artists.
But before she could say those words, Sui Lingfang's phone rang.
It was Zou Da calling.
"What's going on with Gu Cheng? Is he planning to go public?"
Upon hearing this, the two were stunned once again.
Jinli opened her blog, and the number one trending topic was #GuChengResponds#, followed by a trending item icon.
Clicking through, it became clear that Gu Cheng's response wasn't to the official announcement of their relationship, but rather a meaningful statement:
I've always wanted to pursue her, I wonder if I could be given a chance?
Jinli: ...
The smile at the corner of his mouth was hard to hide.
Sui Lingfang clicked her tongue and shook her head, saying, "Young people, that's just how they are, not mature at all! They get all worked up after a few comments from netizens."
She originally wanted to say a few words of criticism, but when she turned around and saw her artist smiling so happily, she stopped talking.
Let's see.
This is youth!
Let's seize the last moments of youth and enjoy one last crazy adventure!
A youth who isn't a little romantic is wasting his youth; a young person is one who dares to love and hate.
Jinli suddenly thought of something and looked up at Fangjie.
When Fangjie saw her bright eyes, she instantly understood what she wanted to do.
She immediately turned her head away, then turned around and shouted:
"I don't know anything. You didn't see me, and I didn't see you!"
Jinli chuckled.
As Fang walked, she kept reminding him, "I know you young people are full of passion, but you still need to be more mature and composed!"
Jinli smiled again. She logged into her blog, intending to type something, but then felt it would be too reserved.
After some deliberation, I remembered that this year is the Year of the Horse, so I posted a picture on my blog—it was an emoji.
A galloping horse is running, and four large characters are written below its hooves:
Bring it on!
Although their interaction didn't result in an official announcement, it completely solidified the ambiguous atmosphere between them.
Those netizens who successfully saw the interaction can finally sleep soundly tonight. The responses from both parties not only satisfied netizens but also their fans.
[That's enough, that's enough. They're both top-tier celebrities. For the sake of their careers, they can stay single for another 10 years.]
Do you know how much courage it takes for celebrities to announce their relationships and marriages? Although it can open up many opportunities, it can also lead to them being left behind by other resources.
Dating isn't so bad, but marriage and having children have the biggest impact on female celebrities. Married female celebrities can no longer play the leading lady in idol dramas, and a bunch of haters will keep attacking them.
You're married and you're still kissing other people? Do you deserve it? Go back and be someone else's wife!
[Male celebrities' resources have not been affected much. There are still male actors who are married and have children who are active on screen. Last year, they took on several leading roles in historical romance dramas.]
[That's great. I'm so happy to have witnessed this. I hope the next time I see news of their marriage.]
Actually, I'm still waiting for an official announcement...
[Is this any different from an official announcement? This is already the maximum level of transparency they've achieved while prioritizing their careers! Even if they were living together, I'd be okay with it.]
Dating is ultimately a private matter for celebrities. It's understandable that they don't want to discuss it publicly. In the past, actors would get married if they wanted to, and if they didn't, they would just let it be.
Whether celebrities' love lives are worthy of public discussion and should be a focus of public opinion is, in my opinion, the real question worth exploring.
Did you go see a movie because the person in question is single, or because they are talented and the film was well-made?
……
This interaction between the two sparked a discussion among many netizens online.
According to the fandom theory, celebrities who are promoted by fans with money cannot betray their fans' love, so they cannot date.
Even if we were to talk, now would definitely not be the time.
Wait until the celebrities are in their forties, when they're old and their looks have faded, then you can start talking to them.
However, the fan culture cannot be applied to Jinli and Gu Cheng.
The two have long since moved beyond the stage of relying on fans for support, and even without fan support now, they still have a strong following among casual viewers.
Their popularity among casual viewers alone is enough to make them stand out to advertisers and brands.
Besides, even if he really loses his fans, he still has a huge fanbase of shippers...
So it doesn't matter how the two of them respond, or whether they get married or break up in the future.
The fact that the public recognizes their talent is what keeps them in the entertainment industry.
After the two interacted and responded, they stopped paying attention to the subsequent development of public opinion.
We can't manage it all.
If it's just a few scattered interactions, we can still chat.
But with hundreds of thousands of comments in the backend, it takes more than ten seconds to load them all, so we can't possibly handle it all.
Human energy is limited; if we were to look at each item one by one, we couldn't withstand such a drain.
The following day, Jinli went to the headquarters of "Jinse" to shoot the cover of the September issue.
Coming here to shoot at this time is actually a bit rushed.
Fortunately, the September issue will be released on September 15th, not September 1st. As long as we work quickly, there shouldn't be any problems.
This summer, the popularity of "Counterattack" was unparalleled, and Jin Li was able to land the top magazine covers in September and October in succession, all thanks to "Counterattack".
Therefore, it was inevitable that she would incorporate elements related to comebacks when shooting covers.
After some discussion, the theme of "Jinse" was directly set as "powerful".
Therefore, Jinli appears on the cover of a major magazine as a shrewd and capable businesswoman.
However, her strength lies in her eyes and temperament, rather than in her clothing style.
If your clothing style also leans towards a cool and austere look, then doing this will make you look too much like a business magazine, such as the kind of magazine that focuses on industry trends and conducts interviews.
"Jinse" is a fashion magazine.
Therefore, they need to incorporate fashion elements into the theme of "powerful" elements, and at the same time, let Jinli showcase next year's trending color - bright red.
Therefore, "Jinse" prepared ten sets of clothes for Jinli.
Five of the sets were bright red, while the other five were different colors.
Each outfit has a different design and cut.
Some are gentle and charming, some are elegant and graceful, some are innocent and pure, and some are cold and fierce...
If Jinli hadn't tried on all the clothes one by one, she wouldn't have realized that the simple bright red color could express so many emotions.
However, she does rarely wear bright red clothes, which is why she seemed surprised.
She usually chooses bright red only when she needs to attend important occasions and needs to command respect.
She felt that this color was very dignified, solemn, and suitable for taking on important responsibilities.
So Jinli was quite pleasantly surprised to see herself wearing several red haute couture outfits that expressed different emotions.
She even asked Jinse's editor-in-chief on the spot which brand these clothes were from and whether they could be pre-ordered.
The editor-in-chief asked with a strange look, "Why did you decide to buy it?"
Jinli: "I think I can wear it next year for Chinese New Year, it's festive and joyful."
The editor-in-chief smiled and said, "Then congratulations, you don't need to pre-order anymore, you can just get it directly from the brand."
Jinli: ?
Editor-in-Chief: "These clothes are all provided by Fangfei. You are its global spokesperson, and you need to wear Fangfei clothes for any important appearances."
After we confirmed you as the cover model, we contacted Fangfei. These several bright red haute couture gowns are all unique to Fangfei and were not sold to the public; they are intended to be part of next year's spring collection.
The editor-in-chief said with admiration, "Jinli, you got your hands on Fangfei's unreleased haute couture two months in advance!"
Jinli blinked.
Okay, I'm so smart, how come I didn't know that?
This wasn't the first time Jinli had collaborated with "Jinse," nor was it the first time she had dealt with the editor-in-chief.
With a prior foundation of cooperation, the progress was particularly rapid.
She finished shooting three sets in just one day.
Based on the efficiency of the first day, it seems that it will take four days to shoot all ten sets?
No, Jinli went into overdrive the next day and bought five sets!
Even Jinse's editor-in-chief couldn't help but exclaim: "Jinli's performance on camera is getting better year by year, and this year's performance is even better than last year's."
Her powerful aura made me tremble involuntarily when I caught a glimpse of her gaze.
He further suspected that Jinli's five sets of photos taken today were not because she was only capable of shooting five sets, but because the staff couldn't keep up with her pace.
The photographer had a blast shooting these past few days, but the makeup artist was under immense pressure.
It's impossible to resolve, it's simply impossible to resolve!
