Chapter 118: The demons from all walks of life come to meet, and the dark turns to the light, and this wave will take you a lifetime
Killing is impossible.

There is a saying: Money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat.

Although, you know it's just a bunch of nonsense, some people still fall for it.

What's more, one man's meat may be another man's poison.

There are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people.

Just because one part of the audience doesn’t like it, we can’t deny the likes of other parts.

The market has proven that ancient costume romance dramas still have a large audience.

Haven’t you seen that the wave of calls for "strong female lead" and "no CP" is so high? There are related works, but the results are average.

Even though there are some remarkable achievements, they are still far behind the achievements of the romance section.

The market determines the trend, the trend determines the wind direction, and the wind direction determines the output of creators.

Jinli didn't feel anything about it.

She was mainly attracted by the fact that Liu Ci had a complete growth story and a distinct personality, although his subsequent sacrifice for love seemed too unwise.

But perhaps just because of this, he can become a classic character in the love brain.

How should I put it? Every character has his own destiny.

Those who are destined to be popular will be popular in the future, even if they are not popular now.

Those who shouldn't be popular will become the target of targeted attacks by netizens in a few years, even if they are popular now.

The car drove for about an hour.

The group arrived at director Zhong Wentai's residence.

Director Zhong Wentai has won many honors, but the place where he lives is still very simple, in a mid-range residential area in Dongcheng District.

After Jinli and Xi Mengze got off the car.

They found that the residential area was bustling with young girls and even the air seemed to have a fragrance.

Xi Mengze took off her sunglasses and looked around carefully.

From what she could see, she had already seen no less than three first-tier female stars, as well as some second-tier stars who looked familiar but whose names she couldn't remember.

Except for female stars.

There were also some male celebrities walking around, either making phone calls or chatting with people.

Xi Mengze turned to look at Jinli and whispered, "The competition is fierce!"

Jinli said thoughtfully: "If no one gets the chance to meet Director Zhong, then everyone is on the same starting line."

This trend.

It was Tianding Entertainment's first-line artists who led everyone to get involved.

After Sui Lingfang got off the car, she went to a place that was surrounded by agents.

The agents surrounded an assistant, who was Zhong Wentai's assistant, and was sent outside by him to entertain major companies.

Some agents asked, "When is Director Zhong free?"

"Yes, we have been here for two days in a row. Can we meet Director Zhong?"

The assistant said, "I'm not sure either. Director Zhong will come out when he wants to, and he will call me when he wants to find actors."

While these agents were asking questions, Sui Lingfang squeezed in and handed her visiting card to the assistant.

The assistant took it without saying a word to Sui Lingfang.

Sui Lingfang stepped out and saw some agents from first-tier companies on the periphery.

Seeing that these agents were also waiting here and couldn't get in, she thought for a while and simply turned around to find Jinli and Xi Mengze.

Jinli and Xi Mengze were enjoying the cool under a tree.

Xi Mengze specially prepared a small fan, one for him and Jinli.

With so many celebrities gathered in this residential area, it also attracted some paparazzi to wait here.

Whenever the paparazzi see some familiar stars, they will go and interview them.

This time is no exception.

As soon as they saw Jinli and Xi Mengze, they immediately came over.

A paparazzi asked them: "Can we chat for a few minutes?"

Jinli and Xi Mengze replied generously and casually: "You can ask."

Paparazzi A: "Do you have the confidence to be recognized by Director Zhong and participate in the filming of the public welfare film?"

Jinli and Xi Mengze answered in unison: "No confidence."

Paparazzi B: "Do you think you can gain something from this visit?"

Jinli and Xi Mengze answered in unison: "I don't think there will be any gain."

Paparazzi C: "Then why did you come here?"

Jinli and Xi Mengze answered in unison again: "The agent called me."

The paparazzi were speechless. Is this the main theme of "honesty"?

Sui Lingfang came over and happened to hear Jinli and the others' last answer, and couldn't help but twitched her lips.

She said seriously, "Answer me carefully."

Jinli and Xi Mengze nodded in unison like chicks pecking at rice.

Sui Lingfang then looked at the reporter and said, "You guys should ask nicely, too."

The reporter also nodded subconsciously.

So the two sides conducted a more serious interview.

When the interview was over, the reporter looked at the content and looked worried.

These answers are not very exciting, they are too conventional!
But his colleague said: "Why not release their consistent answers at the beginning and compare them with the latter ones to create a sense of contrast. Netizens might find it interesting!"

The reporter hesitated for a moment and decided: "Okay, let's do it!"

Half an hour later.

Before Jinli and Xi Mengze could wait for Director Zhong's reply, their interview had already caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

[hhh, paparazzi: Can’t you guys say a little more?]
[Why are there so many celebrities accepting interviews recently, and all of them are about public welfare promotion]
[Rumor has it, the Propaganda Department is going to shoot a few public service videos this year, and celebrities are fighting for the resources!]
[A public service video produced by the state? Wow, that exposure is really powerful, it should be torn down!]
The scene shifts back to the residential area.

Qi Guan Mingzhu shared an interview with Jinli and Xi Mengze that she saw online in the [Pink Girls] group chat, and specifically tagged them both.

Pearl: [Did you guys agree on your answers? How come you are so consistent?]
Koi: [No, maybe this is tacit understanding]
Meng Meng: [We are so connected!]
Jinli: [@Pearl@Qinglian@NANA@Tongtong, I didn’t see you guys, why don’t you come and fight for it? ]
Qi Guan Mingzhu: [My company didn’t ask me to go. I thought about it and felt that going would not produce any results, so I decided not to go.]
The members who were tagged also appeared one after another.

They all said that the company had not notified them, or had notified them but they did not want to go.

There are exceptions.

That is Ji Qinglian.

Up to now, her agent has not come out of the police station and the announcement is at a standstill.

The only good thing was that when she joined the crew to film, the director did not allow the actors to accept notices during the filming period.

This time it just happened that she didn't care about anything.

Finished chatting in the [Pink Girls] group.

Qi Guan Mingzhu suddenly had an idea and went to the [March Day] group chat to ask them if they had visited director Zhong Wentai.

Chen Lin: [I’ve been busy running announcements lately and haven’t paid much attention to industry news. Ah, if I want to shoot a charity film, do I have to visit the director specifically?]
Gu Cheng: [Not very clear]
Luo Yi: [No relevant notification received]
Yan Xingdong: [I don’t know either. I’ll go ask Brother Guang]
They were riding in a minivan, heading to the next notification point.

Because the next announcement was more important and involved whether a top luxury contract could be signed, Zhang Guang came in person to keep an eye on it.

Yan Xingdong directly asked Brother Guang about the charity film.

As soon as Zhang Guang heard it, he understood what was going on.

"A charity film? You don't need to visit. Tianding Entertainment has already reported you four.

This matter was also a misunderstanding.

After reporting your name list, the company still wanted to let other actors take the role, so they asked some A-list actors with little hope to visit them, hoping that the director would be flexible because of their sincerity.

But when those A-listers paid their secret visits, they were somehow photographed by the paparazzi.

Although the photo was not uploaded to the Internet, it was widely circulated in the industry.

This led to other companies following suit and sending celebrities to visit as well.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Guang also had a headache.

“After I found out about it the day before yesterday, I personally called Director Zhong to explain everything and apologize to him, and that’s when the matter was finally settled.

But after this incident, Director Zhong will probably be even more ruthless and impartial. It is impossible for me to visit him specially to ask for a favor."

Chen Lin didn't understand and asked: "Why?"

Yan Xingdong first replied in the group: [We don’t need to visit, the company has already registered us.

I only visit those who have little hope, but Guang Ge said it’s useless because it’s too obvious.]
After replying to the message, he also replied to Chen Lin.

"Once the secret affairs are leaked out and brought to the surface, we can no longer fish in troubled waters.

If visiting is really useful, then will Director Zhong still be able to maintain his reputation?

Besides, you don’t even look at how many celebrities went to visit.

No matter how many public welfare short films are shot, they cannot satisfy everyone.

I guess this visit will be called off soon, and Director Zhong will be even more strict in the selection process, and some first-line stars may not be chosen."

Just as Yan Xingdong expected.

After Jinli and Xi Mengze continued to wait for another hour, suddenly, Director Zhong's assistant came over and shouted with a loud speaker:

"Director Zhong will not meet any of the stars, please go back!

Director Zhong also said that he would now start to work in seclusion, and would move into the publicity department tomorrow to discuss the plot with other directors.

Don't come over here again, it's useless, you won't see anyone!"

Jinli and Xi Mengze looked at each other.

My goodness, in order to avoid the celebrities, he even hid in the Propaganda Department!

After hearing what the assistant said, Sui Lingfang decisively took Jinli and Xi Mengze away.

As soon as Jinli and Xi Mengze arrived here, many celebrities stared at them.

There's no way around it; their fame after they got together is greater than any first-line star.

Some stars waited from morning till afternoon, but Director Zhong never called them.

As soon as Jinli and Xi Mengze arrived, those celebrities were worried that they would be snatched away by these two.

Now that even these two have left, other stars are also uncertain.

"Do you want to wait?" other stars asked their agents.

The agent looked hesitant for a moment and glanced around the scene. There were so many stars there!

The agent made a quick decision: "Forget it, let's go back too!
Instead of waiting for this much time, we might as well arrange more announcements for you. Director Zhong probably won’t meet with us.”

More and more stars dispersed, leaving only a few stars and their agents still standing there waiting stubbornly.

Jinli and Xi Mengze got in the nanny car and went to the company for a meeting instead of returning to the apartment.

Recently, "The Mr. Right" has become popular, and Jinli's acting skills have been known to the public, and everyone thinks that she performed well.

Xi Mengze, who is from the same company, also received some script invitations amid this trend.

Sui Lingfang took this opportunity to hold a meeting with them to discuss whether they should go deeper into acting.

Let’s not talk about Jinli for now, let’s discuss Xi Mengze first.

Xi Mengze had already read the scripts handed over by the crews, and his expression was somewhat solemn.

She said honestly: "I don't think I can do it, but it's not because of my bad acting skills, but because the role given in the script is too profound. I don't think I can play it out."

It’s not that I can’t act.

Rather, you can act, but not a role that is too complicated.

Xi Mengze confessed: "Every script handed to me wants me to copy Jinli's route, but this is impossible.

I know myself well. I can’t act as smart as Jinli. It’s my first time filming, so I just need to keep my expression straight. "

Sui Lingfang thought about it and glanced at Jinli.

Jinli blinked at her innocently, "Sister Fang, I'm just acting normally, there's no trick, I can't teach you!"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "I don't expect you to teach me. If acting can really be taught, there wouldn't be so many people who graduated from professional acting schools being criticized for their poor acting skills."

She lowered her head and flipped through the script, then said thoughtfully, "How about this, I'll start with the supporting role of the third female lead, and then slowly transition to the second female lead.

Wait until you feel your acting skills are up to par before you play the leading female role."

Xi Mengze gestured "OK", "No problem."

She thought to herself: Wouldn’t it be better if her acting skills were so bad that she would play the third female role and then no more scripts would be invited?

I can slack off and be lazy again~
But at this time, Xi Mengze was even more surprised.

Her former teammate sitting next to her is so supportive that he will carry her forward for a lifetime.

……

After the meeting, Jinli returned to the apartment and continued to study live.

At the same time, Director Zhong Wentai is here.

He packed his luggage, left his residence in disguise, and took a taxi to the Propaganda Department.

The assistant conveyed his words, not as a joke, but as the truth.

As word of the public service announcement spread these days, more and more celebrities came to him, hoping to be given a spot.

He just received a few stars, chatted with them briefly, and let them leave.

More and more stars came, almost filling up the community.

Even if he didn't go downstairs, it would still have an impact on him, affecting his creative mood.

This was not a solution, so Zhong Wentai simply stayed away.

"The Wentai is here!"

"Haha, looking at Wentai's posture, it seems like he is here to escape from disaster. He has even prepared his luggage!"

In the Propaganda Department, a group of screenwriters who were obviously older than Zhong Wentai started to mock him mercilessly.

Zhong Wentai sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Life is hard out there, so I came here to join you brothers and come up with the script for the public welfare film."

A screenwriter jokingly said: "Why, are all the demons eyeing this piece of Tang Monk meat like you?"

Another screenwriter took over and said, "I have received some news. There are not only female fairies, but also male fairies. The writer is suffering as there are always fairies trying to harm him."

"Hahaha!"

When these words were spoken, even Zhong Wentai couldn't help laughing out loud.

Alas, he knows the urgency of being a star.

But when it comes to selecting actors, not only does he need to agree, but also the approval of the higher-ups.

It's really not something he can make the final decision on his own.

PS: When I went out these past two days, my friends said I had lost weight as soon as they saw me. I said that I had a very hard time last month. I had to go to work and update a lot. I was very stressed and exhausted. Then I went to weigh myself. Damn, I lost ten pounds...

I'm really tired. The updates will slow down this month, and then I will continue to adjust the update time and move it forward.

I found that I could hardly achieve my goals after setting them, so I won’t go into too much detail. Maybe I can do it.

Readers who have been following along all the way probably know which time period I am talking about.

I felt so uncomfortable today when my period came. I don’t know if it’s because of the weight loss. I felt like a gust of wind could blow me down_(:з」∠)_I want to gain back to my original weight!
