The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 2: Let's start with the new character design

[Character Design Panel Updated]

[Current character setting: Illiterate Level 2 (0/200) Completion reward: '2' points.]

[Literacy Skill Tree: Not yet unlocked]

Current points: 1/point

[Tip: Setting one character unlocks the exchange section.]

1: Redeem a new character design, complete it, and earn points.

2: Light up the talent skill tree of the relevant character to unlock talents by completing the proficiency.

Please select.

As Shen Jian signed the agreement, he kept glancing at the notifications that flashed by.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

In theory, one must acquire talents and skills to enter the entertainment industry.

The prompt only states that it is a talent related to the current persona.

Currently, he only has one persona: illiterate.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the talents related to illiteracy are mostly things like social dancing.

But he knows all of these things, and he's incredibly skilled at them.

This is how I became popular in the last few months – thanks to this live stream.

Therefore, it is not necessary at the moment.

Besides, I can't keep working in the entertainment industry as an illiterate person forever.

He needs more character development and to acquire more points to unlock related skill trees.

"1. Exchange for a new character design."

[Note: Redemption successful!]

[Note: The panel will be randomly selected from the four main character design categories.]

A. Personality traits, such as: straightforward, down-to-earth, cunning.

Category B: Talent Areas, such as: Arts and Literature, Drama Queen, Comedy Prodigy, CTR.LQ.

C. Lifestyle identity category, such as: small-town exam taker, grassroots, foodie.

Industry-specific qualities, such as: dedication, time management master, and walking hormones.

and many more.

-Start Random-】

[A: A cool and aloof male god.]

[B: King of Jokes.]

[C: Lesbians.Gays.Bisexuals.Transgender! (abbreviation: LGBT)]

[D: Doting on his wife.]

Please select your new character card.

"..."

Shen Jian stared blankly for two seconds as he looked at the random character card.

Could it be that I completed the illiterate task too smoothly, thus reducing the probability of getting a random good character?

What the heck are these LGBT and wife-doting things?

He's a decent man who's got a wife but no girlfriend.

Obviously, it should be passed over immediately.

And being aloof is not his style.

Besides, don't be aloof when you first join the company. The best strategy is to be enthusiastic and get close to General Manager Yang.

In the end, it seems that only this "King of Jokes" is left.

This persona seems a bit difficult to cultivate.

After all, I've never been a person who's good with words.

Fortunately, the illiterate persona has evolved to level 2, so it can be done simultaneously.

Illiterate + King of Jokes

Wait to get more points.

With other personas and unlocking your talents and skills, you can rise quickly and make a lot of money.

"Choose bi."

[Newcomer Card Distribution]

[King of Memes: 0/100 (Level 1) - Skill tree not unlocked.]

[Completion Reward: 1 Character Design Point]

My mind kept flashing through suggestions.

They were also busy with their own work.

The agreement has been signed.

On the other side,

Yang Tianzhen exuded a murderous aura.

If murder is not a crime

She wished she could bury the entire team alive.

Signature via voice...

How could he even think of that!

What the hell is this if not illiteracy?

From head to toe, only his hateful face is somewhat presentable, but unfortunately, he also has a mouth and a cerebellum.

All of that is superfluous.

Since starting her agency, she has never been so dissatisfied with a newly signed artist as she is now.

After all, he is a renowned top agent in the industry.

Yang Tian is truly arrogant and won't allow such scoundrels to work under her.

She once said: No matter how obscure a star is, as long as she wants to promote them, they will definitely become famous.

And indeed, she has done so over the years.

Many artists have risen to stardom and become wildly popular under her management.

For example, Wang Anyu, who is currently being heavily promoted by the company, or Li Xian, who became popular a few years ago, and so on.

But at this moment,

Yang Tianzhen began to doubt herself.

There's always this damned sense of destiny that my lifelong reputation will be ruined in the hands of this man in front of me!

If I really take him with me... will we even be able to get to the other side?

She was already overweight.

If he's involved, will the ship sink?

No!

I absolutely cannot be a lover with an illiterate person.

a long time.

"Mr. Yang? What's wrong? The agreement is finalized, would you like to say a few more words?"

"Oh..." Yang Tianzhen came back to her senses and took a deep breath.

It's too late to go back on your word now.

Fortunately, it's only a temporary agreement.

Will we be able to get a 'formal resource contract' from Yixin Entertainment?

We also need to look at market feedback and data.

"Shen Jian, from now on, you're not an internet celebrity but an artist. You need to be mentally prepared."

Going forward, you must improve your overall qualities, pay attention to your words and actions. Leaving aside talent, you need at least a basic level of education. I think you understand what I mean.

Shen Jian: "Yes, I'm a sensible person. I understand what you mean by 'understand'. I understand."

"..."

"..."

[King of Jokes +1]

Yang Tianzhen felt exhausted: "The first appearance is very important. In this kind of variety show that promotes new talents, there may be new talents from other companies on the show. Although there is competition, you don't need to be too nervous."

I'll have my team communicate with you beforehand, discuss and rehearse, and they'll tell you how to perform. Just relax.

"As for mindset..." Shen Jian calmly crossed his hands in front of his nose: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I'm the same as you."

"Um?"

"I'm not good at causing trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. I'll do a good job."

[King of Jokes +1]

"!!!"

"..."

The air fell silent once more.

The team members were stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ancestors, can you please stop talking?

You didn't even graduate from elementary school, what are you doing quoting famous people?

Besides, Mr. Yang is still young. If you don't act up, nothing will happen, but if he doesn't act up, he'll be going through menopause!

You're nothing like her!

Yang Tianzhen rubbed her face vigorously, trying to clear her breast ducts as much as possible.

It's hard to imagine how many gynecological diseases could be automatically cured and lifespan extended if I strangled Shen Jian right now and turned him into a human skin kite.

"Alright, that's settled then. See him out."

Goodbye, Sister Yang.

"!!!"

One word, "sister," and goosebumps erupted all over my body.

Shen Jianqian had just stepped out of the office.

Then they heard Yang Tianzhen's furious roar:

"You're all committing atrocities, aren't you? You don't want to work here anymore, do you? If you bring me another one like this in the future, I won't hesitate to fire you all and clean house!"

"I'll do it."

Shen Jian suddenly returned, holding a rag in his hand.

"Sister Yang, let me help you clean it. But your door looks pretty clean, should I wipe it again?"

Everyone: "..."

Yang Tianzhen: "--Get lost!"

Shen Jian: "Oh."

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

[Illiterate +1]

[One more hilarious joke]

...

Step out of the office.

Shen Jian returned to the reception hall.

Afterwards, a staff member gave him a brief tour of the company.

Yixin Entertainment is a well-known agency in the Chinese entertainment industry, and it has a large number of artists under its management.

Celebrity posters can be seen on the walls of every department.

Wang Anyu, Li Xian, Bai Yu, Ma Sichun, Zhu Yawen, Zhao Youting, and many other top-tier actors.

Of course, some are tied to related businesses, such as operations, public relations, or publicity modules, and are handled separately by Yixin Entertainment.

Others, like Shen Jian, were directly signed into the company.

The process is complete.

After enjoying another free employee meal.

Shen Jian then returned to the hotel.

He is not from Beijing.

Previously, I had always been doing live streams from my hometown.

Fortunately, live streaming has become incredibly popular in the past few months, and he's made some money from playing PvP (player versus player) battles.

So hotels are still affordable.

But I signed with the company.

I'll definitely need to rent a place in Beijing for convenience in the future.
