I'm not just a director

Zeng Li's drinking capacity is average. She drank about three bottles of beer at the barbecue stall.

Under the illumination of the light, her fair skin was covered with a layer of rose red.

Those big eyes also became a little blurry at this time.

"Come on, let's drink some tea first. Seeing as you are like this, you definitely don't drink much."

Jiang Peian put the teacup in front of Zeng Li and said with a smile.

"Ah."

Zeng Li nodded.

Jiang Peian was a little confused, was this girl really here to drink tea?

Just now she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Neither of them spoke now, and the silence in the room was a little awkward.

"Lizi, what are your plans for the future? Will you always stay in the art troupe?"

Jiang Peian asked, breaking the silence.

"Fortunately, it's good to be in the group. There are no such strong restrictions. Apart from performances and training, most of the time is quite free."

Zeng Li replied.

"Have you ever thought about going to a brokerage company?"

Jiang Peian asked, this girl had actually been in a tepid state in her last life.

Later, after the short video broke out, she seemed to start to exert her strength, but by that time it was actually a bit late.

Although she has also appeared in one or two popular TV series, she is basically the mother of those little flowers or celebrities.

The "acting cycle" of actresses is very short. Except for a few elderly actresses who are still playing the role of the heroine, most of them play supporting roles.

This kind of actresses who insist on playing the heroine of idol dramas even in their old age, later generations of netizens have a very unique name for them "Yatou Jiao".

It was originally used to poke fun at the phenomenon of "old people acting young" in film and television dramas.

For example, in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties 3", Liu Xiaoqing, who is nearly 60 years old, plays a princess of the Northern Desert.

There is also Gu Manlu, played by Carina Lau in "Half a Lifetime", who has won the oiran title three times in a row.

The mismatch between the makeup and the actual age of the actress creates a very fragmented look.

The famous members of the Yatou Cult in later generations include Wenli Yatou, who played the middle-aged idol with Ming Daoshang.

And Ma Yili, who wears iron bangs and charms half of the men in Dragon City.

In these dramas, the actors are usually cast because the story spans a long time.

So I made a cameo role in my youth.

It’s just that the final effect is too inconsistent.

Many people can't help but ask: Why not just find a young actor to play the character when he is young?

Just like "Daming Palace Ci".

Princess Taiping's girlhood and adulthood.

Played by Zhou Xun and Chen Hong respectively.

Each of them shows the characteristics of Princess Taiping at different ages.

The growth and transformation of Princess Taiping along the way are very convincing.

Especially Zhou Xun's agility left a deep impression on everyone.

But in fact, there have been successful cases of acting for all ages contracted by one person.

Liu Xiaoqing himself once acted from the age of 15 to 80 in "Wu Zetian".

The round face is combined with Mao Geping’s uncanny makeup skills.

So that age will not be a factor in the drama, even though Liu Xiaoqing was already 40+ at the time.

This is one of the "girl teachings".

The second is to force a group of middle-aged people to interpret a "childish" story.

That is the so-called "middle-aged Mary Sue".

This is considered the hardest hit area in recent years.

Wen Li's "Love at the Corner" is a typical example.

And Liu Tao's "Stars and Sea" is not to be outdone.

When two adults fall in love, it's both crude and crazy.

It can be called an all-round dimensionality reduction attack on IQ.

Because of this drama, Liu Tao has also been criticized a lot.

Some people call her the female version of Jin Dong, firmly occupying the top spot among female dominations.

No matter how many roles I play, they all seem to fit together...

I can only say that the roles of those actresses are too stereotyped.

Those who can take pictures, those who love taking pictures, and those who are popular are just a few.

And then there are so many actresses, young, middle-aged... all trying to compete for these characters. What's the result?

There are just a lot of mismatches and dislocations.

Fortunately, Zeng Li in later generations did not take this evil path, which was one of the reasons why Jiang Pei'an had a good feeling for her.

Let’s make whatever money we should make, but we can’t ignore the life and death of the audience.

After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Zeng Li looked up at Jiang Pei'an and said with a smile:

"Does Director Jiang want to invite me to join Starfire?"

Jiang Peian said firmly:

"Of course, Spark can give you the freedom you want, and it can also help you take your career to the next level."

Zeng Li shook his head and said:

"It stands to reason that Director Jiang personally invited me to join the company because you are optimistic about me, but I also have my own ideas. I'm sorry."

After hearing her words, Jiang Peian was not disappointed. It was a personal choice, just like Wu Jing, everyone has their own pursuit.

Seeing Jiang Pei'an didn't speak, Zeng Li bit his lower lip and asked a little aggrievedly:

"You're angry?"

Jiang Peian looked at her in confusion:

"what happened?"

"Are you angry because I didn't listen to you and didn't join Starfire?"

Jiang Peian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Where is this? He shook his head and said:

"I'm not angry, I just think that everyone has their own ideas. You, like Wu Jing, have your own opinions. This is good, keep it up.

It is very important to have your own opinions and persistence in the entertainment industry. What you fear most is losing yourself in this big dye vat. "

Seeing that Jiang Pei'an's expression didn't seem to be fake, Zeng Li's heart dropped.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't want to join Starfire, it's that she doesn't dare.

She and Hu Jing are good friends, and Hu Jing is Jiang Peian's girlfriend.

She knew what she was thinking. If she chose to join Starfire, how embarrassing would it be if she didn't see her when she looked up?

Others may not be able to see it, but she can't pass her own test.

In fact, the best way is for her to stay away from Jiang Pei'an and completely strangle her own thoughts that she shouldn't have.

But... this man is like a spark in the night sky, always attracting me to rush towards him regardless of my own safety.

What if I confessed my love to him?

Zeng Li was startled by the idea that suddenly came to her mind.

Maybe she was drunk, or maybe she had suppressed this thought for too long, so she couldn't help but continue to think about it.

If he accepts her, then she can never see Hu Jing for the rest of her life and maintain an underground relationship with Jiang Peian.

Originally, public figures would not reveal their emotional state casually.

but……

"It's getting late, I'm going back first."

Zeng Li stood up to say goodbye. Perhaps because of the drunkenness just now, her head felt a little dizzy when she stood up.

Jiang Peian came over and helped her.

"Pear, are you okay?"

Jiang Peian asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just, just..."

Looking at Jiang Peian's handsome face, Zeng Li seemed to be still immersed in the random thoughts just now.

"Hmm~"

She suddenly leaned forward and kissed Jiang Peian's cheek.

Then she woke up suddenly, her pretty face as red as if stained with blood, and then fled the scene without looking back. Jiang Pei'an just stood there.

"What's this called..."

Jiang Pei'an touched his cheek. Although Zeng Li had left, her fragrance was not yet filling the air.

……

The next day, on the set of "Painted Skin".

Jiang Peian got up early and rushed to the set.

When he arrived at the set, he discovered that Zeng Li was waiting on the set wearing a costume and looking listless.

This scene seems to have happened on the set of "Kung Fu"...

Thinking of the kiss yesterday, Jiang Pei'an seemed to still be able to feel her touch.

It happened that Zeng Li also discovered him at this time. Just when Jiang Peian wanted to say hello, Zeng Li walked away from the set without looking back.

"Hey, why did you bother me last night?"

A joking voice sounded, and Jiang Pei'an knew who it was without turning around.

"Master Zhou, you haven't woken up yet. What are you talking about in your sleep so early in the morning?"

Jiang Peian smiled bitterly.

"You are the male lead, and Lizi is the female lead. When I said you were struggling last night, it must be because you two stayed up late again to play together. Am I talking nonsense?"

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Well, it's a duet. The plot is really awkward. I don't know who wrote it."

Jiang Peian smiled bitterly.

"Who else could have written it? Of course it was our Director Jiang. How was the result of the scene between you two yesterday? Was the battle intense?"

Zhou Xun had a gossipy look on her face, always feeling like she was driving.

"Well, it's just average. It's better to play fiercely with you."

Who is Jiang Peian? He is so thick-skinned that he has begun to turn his back on guests.

"Tch, that's boring. Come to my room tonight and I'll show you what my real skills are. I'll make sure you run away."

Zhou Xun was not to be outdone.

The crew members on the side were trembling with fear as they listened to the two people's arrogant remarks and did not dare to say anything.

Damn it, can you listen to this without money?

"No nonsense, where is Wu Jing, is he still asleep?"

Jiang Peian couldn't match Mr. Zhou's shame and changed the subject.

"Tch, he must still be asleep. He's out of luck today."

Zhou Xun pursed his lips and expressed disdain for Jiang Peian's abrupt change of topic.

After Zhou Xun left, Jiang Pei'an began to have a headache. Judging from Zeng Li's appearance just now, it was obvious that he remembered what happened yesterday after he woke up.

But the key is that she didn't do anything, she was just like a victim.

The two of them have several rivalry scenes today, so it's not an option to keep doing this.

"Director, the set has been set up, get ready for the show."

Chang Xiaoyang came to Jiang Peian and said.

"Ah, okay, you go call Li and Zeng Li, I'll put on makeup first, and you can help her get familiar with the plot first."

"Okay, I'll go there first."

An hour later, Jiang Peian put on makeup and rushed to the set, where Zeng Li was already waiting for him.

Jiang Peian is a tall man of over 1.8 meters. He looks tall and strong wearing ancient costumes.

However, his face is that of a handsome scholar. When wearing this kind of loose cannon, he has a rather refined feeling of a prince.

Jiang Pei'an glanced at Zeng Li, but Zeng Li's eyes were a little evasive at this time.

Seeing Zeng Li in this state, Jiang Pei'an had an ominous premonition. Today's scene will probably take a long time to shoot.

Sure enough, after Chang Xiaoyang started shouting, Zeng Li couldn't get into the state.

"Ka, Pei Rong, your eyes are so affectionate when you look at Wang Sheng, don't be shy."

"Hey, tell me the words. Peirong, don't forget your lines."

"Click..."

After checking several times in a row, Chang Xiaoyang finally discovered that Zeng Li was in poor condition.

Jiang Peian waved his hand towards him and said:

"Take a break first, and I'll communicate with Lizi."

"it is good."

Chang Xiaoyang nodded helplessly. This was the first scene of the day and he had been NGed so many times in a row. There would be several more to come.

Did you drink yesterday? If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have gone!

No matter what Chang Xiaoyang thinks, Jiang Peian has already communicated with Zeng Li.

The temperature had already risen at this time. The temperature was too high, so Jiang Pei'an took Zeng Li to the dressing room.

"pear……"

"Director Jiang, it's my problem. I will perform well later. Please give me another chance."

Zeng Li lowered his head, interrupted Jiang Pei'an, and said quickly.

"You look up into my eyes."

Jiang Peian said expressionlessly.

"I……"

Zeng Li slowly raised his head, but his eyes were still a little evasive when he looked at Jiang Peian.

Jiang Peian pointed to his cheek and said:

"Is it because of this..."

Zeng Li was about to speak when Jiang Peian interrupted her and said:

"I can pretend that nothing happened. It's just that you drank too much yesterday and put yourself into Pei Rong's role.

I can understand this. After all, you have worked hard to study the role before. It is normal that you can't get out of the role of Pei Rong. And I remember your acting class..."

"Pei Rong wouldn't do such a thing."

Jiang Pei'an was still talking, but Zeng Li suddenly interrupted him.

"what?"

Jiang Peian looked at her and asked.

Zeng Li looked at him at this moment and said word by word:

"Pei Rong's love for Wang Sheng is silent, she is willing to give up everything for Wang Sheng to become a demon.

And her love is also casual, never as bold and wanton as Xiao Wei's. Her love is restrained, so she will not do what she did yesterday. "

Jiang Peian nodded. Zeng Li had figured out the role of Pei Rong very well... No, are we talking about characters?

Jiang Pei'an was a little confused. He said what he just said just because he was afraid of embarrassing her. What was Zeng Li doing?

Destroy it?

Jiang Pei'an's doubts were not solved yet, so he heard Zeng Li continue:

"Pei Rong and I have the same thing, but there are also differences. Loving someone is something that is suppressed deep in the heart, but when it can't be suppressed anymore, it surges out like a flood."

"Director Jiang, I like you!"

Zeng Li looked at Jiang Peian with burning eyes.

This time, her eyes didn't escape.

……

"It seems that the battle is very fierce."

Outside the house, Zhou Xun drank herbal tea, glanced at the dressing room and said.

"What's the situation? Is there a fight? Why don't we all stop filming? Is it over?"

Wu Jing yawned, lazily walked over and asked.

"You are just a mountain cannon."

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes at him and said.

"No, Sister Xun, your senseless words make me very uncomfortable. What happened?"

"Nothing happened."

"Nothing happened. What are you doing sitting here? Where is Boss Jiang?"

The two of them chatted with each other.

Chang Xiaoyang was the only one with a sad look on his face. It was time to take a photo. When would they come out?

How sad! (End of chapter)
