The program team lost contact, and the desert island live broadcast reversed the character design

Chapter 257 Breakup!Face changing before broadcast
After Liu Heluo hung up the phone, Yu Haohua, who played the second male lead Ah Jin, also called to congratulate:

"Su Zhe, I heard that "Bad Kiss" was sold?"

Su Zhe asked directly without asking him:

"What do you want to drink?"

Yu Haohua laughed and said:

"You still understand me, as long as the wine management is enough. By the way, I heard that you want to make a movie?"

Su Zhe could see that good opportunities in the industry were indeed rare, so he didn't mind these friends looking for jobs:
"Yes, do you want to participate? But except for the male protagonist, there are not many young male characters."

The second male lead is the father of the male protagonist, and the other male classmates are just tools.

Yu Haohua certainly wouldn't mind being Su Zhe's "father", but obviously Su Zhe would not agree.

Regardless of the chance, Yu Haohua immediately agreed and asked curiously:

"By the way, I haven't asked you the name of the movie yet!"

""Secret"."

Yu Haohua:......

"The wine is no longer fragrant."

Su Zhe:? ? ?
After hanging up the phone, he was a little confused. When he received a call from You Mengli and asked him the name of the movie, he said it again:
""Secret"."

You Mengli pouted, her tone a little aggrieved:

"Are you still keeping it a secret from me?"

"I'm not insured...oh!" Su Zhe was not a fool after all, and finally realized, "The name of the movie is "The Secret That Cannot Be Told"!"

You Mengli was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter:
"Haha! Why did you choose this name?"

Su Zhe smiled bitterly and chatted with You Mengli for a long time. Suddenly his heart moved and he asked:

"Are you interested in acting?"

You Mengli was a little eager to try and replied:
"Okay, I'll make a cameo, just give me a few seconds of footage."

"Guest appearance?" Su Zhe encouraged, "How about playing the second female lead (Qingyi)."

When You Mengli heard that the second female lead had such an important role, she was immediately frightened:

"No, no, I only know music, but I'm not an all-around genius like you. Don't make you lose money."

Su Zhe encouraged her:
"As long as she plays her true character, the second female lead is a school beauty and musical genius at the conservatory, but after meeting the more talented male protagonist, she gradually fell in love with him..."

When You Mengli heard the previous descriptions such as "conservatory beauty" and "musical genius", she couldn't help but nodded and admitted that she was acting in her true colors. When she heard "I like the male protagonist", she blushed, but did not refute, and replied weakly:
"Well, if you want me to act, I'll give it a try."

Su Zhe teased her:

"There's a kissing scene, can you accept it?" (There is)

You Mengli snorted as loudly as a mosquito.

Su Zhe was stunned for a moment and increased his intensity:

"There's also a sex scene." (There really isn't one)
You Mengli’s voice became even lower:

"Just with you."

Su Zhe became even more excited: "And..."

"Stop!" You Mengli finally understood that Su Zhe was teasing her and shouted weakly, "Do you want to show it in Japan?"

"Hahaha!" Su Zhe was amused and laughed.

After casting You Mengli as the second female lead, Qingyi, Su Zhe made a casual phone call and told Yan Xiling.

Yan Xiling was a little helpless:
"Boss, this role doesn't require acting skills, just beauty. It's very suitable for complimenting newcomers. It would be a pity to give it to others."

Su Zhe was silent for a moment, but did not say "You Mengli is not someone else" and asked her curiously:
"Newcomer? Aren't you planning to sign Zhang Yuhan?"

Yan Xiling sighed:

"After being cut off by Qunxing Brothers, our Mary Sue's appeal is still not as attractive as other big companies."

Su Zhe didn't feel surprised or regretful. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. From a rational point of view, it was very suitable to sign Zhang Yuhan. She has good looks and acting skills, and her upward trend is very obvious.

But Su Zhe instinctively didn't like her very much, so just forget about it.

"That's just right. Let's use a newcomer as the heroine of "Secret" and let Mary Sue sign the contract. Our first movie will be for our company, is that okay?"

Yan Xiling did not expect to lose the supporting actress and gain the heroine. She was excited, but also a little worried. She took the overall situation into consideration and said:
"Boss, the film's performance is the most important thing, otherwise we should send invitations to famous actresses, right?"

Su Zhe refused:
"You Mengli and I combined, the traffic is enough. As for the heroine... a famous actress may not be qualified, she needs..."

He thought about the characteristics of the original Gui Lunmei and described:

"Small breasts, talk less, but have a bad expression."

Yan Xiling:? ? ?

Seeing that she didn't understand, Su Zhe added:

"It's just fresh and fresh, the style of a literary goddess, not too pretty."

Although many female stars are very beautiful, they can only show off their power on the small screen. On the big screen, they can only be used as a vase for men's dramas.

This is not the case only in China. In the world, most of the stars with box office appeal are male stars.

However, the few female stars with box office appeal are not particularly beautiful in the industry.

Maybe it's because they mainly rely on drama films, and most drama films require the heroine's appearance to be less dazzling, so that the emotions contained in the plot can be more sincere and moving.

Otherwise, if it were a big beauty, no matter how touching the plot would be, it would be like "seeking sex", and even some plots would be hard to believe.

For example, in "Young You", if the heroine is a beautiful woman and the hero lets her sleep in a cabin he built, the audience will call the police;
Another example is "Love Is Not Blind". If Huang Xiaoxian was a beautiful woman, it would be hard to believe that fan boy Guo Jingfei would dump her and plausibly say he has no regrets.

In short, it was this kind of rule that Su Zhe didn't bother to study clearly and didn't need to write a paper. He just wanted to follow it.

Yan Xiling thought about the conditions he required and named him:
"For example, the Qiu girl Xie Shuru who was just promoted by Director Qiu Da?"

Su Zhe thought of the strange distance between Xie Shuru's eyes and immediately shook his head and said:
"Not too pretty means not too pretty, not not pretty at all."

It would be a bit harsh to say that Xie Shuru is ugly, but among ordinary people, she can only be considered comely, and she really cannot be called beautiful.

"Okay, if the boss just talks, we will lose our legs." Yan Xiling said helplessly, "I will search the circle and I will definitely find the right one!"

Su Zhe asked her to discuss the candidate with director Sun Mei, but was worried that she would have too much say in the casting. After all, Sun Mei was just the new director he had just appointed.

So after he hung up the phone, he called Sun Mei specifically and asked her to "choose the role entirely from the perspective of film quality and not to give anyone face."

"Hey, personnel balance..."

Su Zhe shook his head and sighed:

"A good artist, working on these things all day long is so tiring!"

But thinking about the speed at which Long Aotian made money, he felt balanced again:

For this matter, the office politics in his previous life were not as complicated as before, but the money he earned was more than he could have earned in hundreds of lifetimes.

Fortunately, after arranging his work, he was free again and went to a few business performances for the first time in a long time.

He even looks down on the money of commercial performances now, but being able to interact with fans up close makes him feel happy.

At this time, "Study Boy", as the pre-promotional variety show of "Mischief Kiss", was finally launched.

"Let's Study" is full of newcomers. Only Su Zhe and Liu Heluo appeared in the first few issues, and they can only rely on them as the selling point.

No one is optimistic about this type of variety show, and someone in the industry vowed:
"Su Zhe is crazy! Penguin was deceived! Who would watch a variety show for studying? Why not go to online classes if you have this time?"

"Audiences watch variety shows just to have fun! Study variety shows? It's a done deal!"

In fact, Su Zhe just wanted to give it a try, and he was unsure. After all, he had no similar successful experience in his previous life.

But anyway, the cost is almost zero. If it doesn’t succeed, just organize a study class. It’s not a loss.

But he didn't expect that because all his previous variety shows were so successful, he had gained the blind trust of certain platforms and TV stations.

Some rivals and companies wanted to use this to break his unbeaten streak, and deliberately publicized it, saying that "Study" was doomed.

Don't look at it. It's just a small variety show that sells for 1000 million. It doesn't matter even if it beats Penguin.

But the trust gained from never losing is completely different from having a single save——

The former can be trusted blindly, but the latter needs to evaluate the prospects.

This is something Su Zhe didn't even expect, and he reflected in his mind:
"In the entertainment industry, you must cherish your own feathers."

It doesn’t matter if a variety show crashes once, or even a TV series, because the audience can watch it for free.

But movies are different. You need to spend money to buy tickets. If you are cheated once, it will be difficult next time.

For example, in his previous life, he could watch Shen Teng's movies without thinking. Later, he was deceived by "guest star" and had to watch "Han Teng Liang" first. In the end, he simply stopped being superstitious and waited for word-of-mouth reviews like other movies. Let’s talk about the ratings later.

In fact, I can understand Shen Teng. For the sake of favor, he made guest appearances in various bad movies, which can indeed maintain his good popularity in the industry, but the price is to lose the trust of the audience.

But now that "Study" is about to be launched, Su Zhe can't do anything but hope that the data won't be too ugly and embarrass himself.But I didn't expect that thanks to Su Zhe's appeal, "Study" would become very popular as soon as it was released.

He now has a strong appeal. No matter what program it is, as long as he appears, there will be many fans, variety show fans and passerby fans to take a look.

Although studying is boring, there are still many barrage comments:

[Su Zhe is so awesome. I have a headache when I read textbooks, but I can watch him study, and he is still awesome. 】

[I watched the extra version of the show. Su Zhe really spent a whole day writing papers. He is the king of papers in the entertainment industry! 】

[Should be called the test paper king...]

[Did the sugar canes see it?You gentlemen are studying hard, but you still have time to chase stars? 】

[Su Zhe is such a genius, I believe that if he did not become a trainee and studied normally, he would also be a college champion! 】

So, on the system——

[Form a positive personality: academic master (2%)]

[Drawing reward: fancy billiards (beginner level)]

Su Zhe didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. Looking at the reward again... he was a little speechless.

"Yeah, it's still a reward. Even if the show fails, I won't lose."

Anyway, he only appeared in a few episodes, and then he went to film, so you can't blame him for it.

But he didn't expect that after he and Liu Heluo left, although the clicks of "Study" plummeted, it actually cultivated some loyal viewers.

It is said that some candidates taking the postgraduate entrance examination and those taking the public examination will turn on the program to study together to motivate themselves:
"Look at them, they are so good-looking and they study hard, what right do I have to not work hard?"

This group of people was not large, but at least it maintained the number of clicks on "Let's Study" and did not make Penguin lose money.

And on a certain page, "Study" received a score of 8.9 points!

After all, this kind of variety show has its own political correctness. Even if you don't like it, you still have to praise it against your will as "the intention is genuine."

If you calculate it this way, "Study" is definitely not a failure, and it disappointed people with bad intentions in the circle:

"Can such a strange variety show be successful? What kind of magic power does Su Zhe have?"

"Why are people watching the study? The audience is so doting on Su Zhe! Could it be that you all watch when he leads people to farm?"

"It's unreasonable!"

Su Zhe didn't know what other people in the circle thought, and he himself was surprised.

But in his heart, the success or failure of "Let's Study" doesn't matter, it's just a play.

The key is "Mischief Kiss", which is not only related to his future worth, but also related to Long Aotian's development.

Must succeed!

Su Zhe knew the results of "Evil Kiss" in his previous life, so he was very confident and could stay calm.

But others, including director Zhu Guosong, producer Dong Wenxue, and even manager Yan Xiling, couldn't help but become nervous.

So much so that Su Zhe drank weird coffee for a few days and had to remind Xu Cui:

"Sister, don't get excited, don't use cold medicine as coffee..."

Halfway through his rant, he saw the guilty expression on Xu Cui's face and quickly made up for it:
"But don't tell me, the isatis coffee is quite delicious."

Su Zhe finally made everyone laugh, but Dong Wenxue arrived in a hurry and told Su Zhe bad news, which immediately made everyone scold her:

"Zhang Yuhan said that she has something to do and can no longer participate in any promotional activities."

Su Zhe frowned. The actor's contract stipulated publicity obligations, and Zhang Yuhan had broken the contract.

Of course, she is just the second female lead, so even if she misses the promotion, the impact will not be big, but it does make him unhappy.

——Who would like pigeon spirits?
Not to mention others, they all scolded Zhang Yuhan for being ungrateful.

In the eyes of the industry, Su Zhe, the heroine of "The President" and the second heroine of "Kiss", is Zhang Yuhan's great benefactor.

In front of everyone, Dong Wenxue called Zhang Yuhan directly, turned on the loudspeaker and asked:
"Teacher Zhang, if you don't sign a Mary Sue, I also advise everyone in Xiaoyan to have their own ambitions. I don't blame you, but if you don't even cooperate with the publicity, is it too much to bully others?"

Zhang Yuhan immediately cried pitifully:
"Sister Dong, you and Brother Su are both my benefactors. Logically speaking, I have to go wherever possible! But Director Ma refused to let me take leave. After all, I am the heroine and I can't leave. I just signed with Stars, so I don't dare to play tricks. It’s a big name, otherwise it would be hidden.”

Director Ma is Qunxing's royal director, the person with the highest status among Qunxing, and even the boss has to coax him.

Zhang Yuhan complained for a while, her body was very soft, but her attitude was very firm——

Don’t go!Do not participate in any promotional activities!

Dong Wenxue wanted to say something else, but Su Zhe waved her hand and told her not to waste her words and hang up the phone.

This made Dong Wenxue feel aggrieved and said harshly:
"You bitch! The contract states the publicity obligations in black and white, just wait to receive the lawyer's letter!"

Su Zhe shrugged helplessly, and after seeing her hang up the phone, he said:
"When you say that, it makes us look like villains. In fact, it's her loss if she doesn't come. Just don't regret it in the future."

Stars?Director Ma?He's just a Sunset guy, can he compare to Su Zhe?
But he really doesn’t quite understand:
"What good will it do to her and Qunxing not to participate in publicity? Could it be that Qunxing is deliberately trying to show me power and warn the ambitious new player in the industry - Long Aotian?"

Su Zhe's question was soon answered.

The next day, Qunxing sent a lawyer's letter to Long Aotian, refunding Zhang Yuhan three times the salary for "Kiss" as compensation for breach of contract, but requested that Zhang Yuhan be changed from "Second Female" to "Special Starring".

He also requested that Liu Heluo's name should not be put above Zhang Yuhan's in any publicity channel.

This made Dong Wenxue suddenly realize and told Su Zhe:

"That's it! This Bi Chi has climbed up to the stars, so she doesn't like the second female lead in "Bad Kiss" anymore. She doesn't want to be overshadowed by Liu Heluo!"

Before filming "Kiss," Zhang Yuhan only had one film, "The President," and she relied entirely on Su Zhe to sell the drama. So if she could continue to play the second female lead, she was grateful. Why did she care about her cast?
But after she was noticed by the stars, she suddenly became the heroine of Director Ma's new work. Neither the stars nor herself wanted her name to appear after the female traffic.

Su Zhe knew before that a position in the entertainment industry is not only about face, but also about status, power and interests.

The struggle for position is a struggle for interests and has no solution.

Dong Wenxue immediately shouted angrily:
"Is that all it takes to pay liquidated damages? I can't sue her to death!"

Su Zhe was very calm and advised:

"'Kiss' is about to be released. How can I have time to get entangled in such a bad thing? If I really win the lawsuit, Zhang Yuhan just complains casually, and it seems that I am unreasonable."

Dong Wenxue put her hands on her hips and asked:
"Then spare her?"

Su Zhe shook his head and asked first:

"How is the development of AI face-changing technology?"

Anyway, he remembered that in his previous life, thanks to the numerous celebrities who were in prison, this technology was booming in the film and television industry.

And obviously, stars in any world are the same.

Dong Wenxue immediately replied:
"There are flaws in the temporary replacement, but if we work overtime now to render and adjust it, before it is broadcast, it will definitely be fake and real!"

Su Zhe nodded and said:
"Then tell the stars not to [make special appearances]. They look down on "Kiss" anyway, so we will use Zhang Yuhan's AI to change her face to ensure that she has nothing to do with this drama."

Su Zhe smiled and said:
"The money for the face exchange should be the liquidated damages she compensates."

Dong Wenxue felt very relieved:
"Just do it! Are they still afraid that we will borrow her fame? Bah! Didn't she get all her fame from you?"

Su Zhe was so confident that Qunxing hesitated again after hearing this:

Could "Kiss" be a big hit?Otherwise, how could there be such a strong person?

Generally speaking, when their stars say something, normal companies in the industry will obey them.

Isn't it just changing from "Second Female" to "Special Appearance"? How big a deal is that?They were not targeting Su Zhe, just Liu Heluo.

Therefore, after repeated research, the stars did not agree to change their faces and insisted on "special appearances" so that they could wait for "Kiss" to become really popular.

But Su Zhe didn't tolerate them. Since the other party had broken the contract and paid liquidated damages, Su Zhe had the right to change his face.

As for the face-swap target?

Su Zhe called You Mengli:
"Use your face."

"Ah? Now?" You Mengli whispered, "I'll book the plane ticket right now, don't worry."

Su Zhe: ...

"It's not the usage you think of... Actually it's okay, but I'm talking about AI face-changing in TV series."

You Mengli was shocked and said:
"An actor's house collapsed? It's so miserable for you. Such an unlucky thing happened before the show even started!"

She thought it was because the actor's house collapsed and the TV series was forced to change its face, which was quite common in recent years.

"No, I'm just a little angry and want to be willful."

Su Zhe smiled, and after getting You Mengli's permission, he asked with a wicked smile:

"By the way, what time is the flight?"

"Beep beep..."

Hangs up so fast.
