I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 156 Sales volume exploded, I am not as good as her
Some netizens only found out the next day that Jinli officially announced the Koi Thumb Powder Puff she designed, and they rushed to the flagship store to place an order.

As a result, all flagship stores are sold out, so we can only wait until the product is back in stock before sending you a message.

The next few days will be the busiest time for Domi Cosmetics customer service.

Customer: [When will the thumb powder puff designed by Jinli be available online?]
Customer Service: [Dear, the factory is urgently producing it. You can make an appointment in advance. We will send you a message when the goods are in stock.]
Customer: [I don’t read Taobao’s information very often. Can I pre-order it and wait until the goods are in stock before you ship it to me?]
Customer Service: [Dear, we are registering your request. There is no pre-sale information at the moment.]
Customer: [Do you have a special edition? The one that Ji Qinglian posted a photo of. It must be in color.]
Customer Service: [Dear, after checking, this one is a special edition and there is no plan to produce and put it on the market at present]
Customer: [Feed back my request, I want a special edition with color!!]
Customer Service: [OK dear! ! ! ]
President Nan has been in high spirits these days. Wherever he goes, people praise him for his keen eye for talent. Even the president has personally inquired about the production progress of the Koi Thumb Puff.

The president of Domi Cosmetics lamented: “Many domestic brands don’t dare to hire celebrities as their products are not worth it as the profits are already low and they have to spend a lot of money on advertising.

This time we invited Jinli to be our spokesperson, which was a desperate move. We also launched an in-depth cooperation with her. If we lose money, it's fine, we can just consider it as investing a sum of money. After all, we can afford the loss on the powder puffs.

I didn’t expect the sales data to be so strong. It only took an hour from the official launch of the promotion to the explosion of the warehouse, right?”

The president didn't know what he was thinking of, so he asked, "I heard that Jinli's initial promotion was not done well, and her account was restricted?"

President Nan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously said: "Well, the publicity and operation department must look at Jinli's ability to bring goods before determining the next promotion direction, so no additional publicity was done."

The president frowned and said, “This won’t work. No matter how famous a celebrity is, people still have to know that she is the spokesperson for Domi Cosmetics.

Otherwise, she would only gain fame, but no one would know that she is our spokesperson. Isn’t that a waste?”

President Nan immediately said, "I will have a meeting with the publicity and operations department to see how to do a promotion."

The president thought for a moment and said, "Observe the subsequent sales of thumb powder puffs. If there is a trend of explosive growth, we can invite Jinli to shoot an advertisement."

President Nan said hesitantly: "But President, Jinli also participated in the sales dividend of this product. If we promote it vigorously, the interests of our company may..."

The president smiled and said: "For a popular star like Jinli, as long as we can tie her brand together with ours, why should we worry that her fans won't buy our other products?

Besides, it is precisely because we and Jinli share a common interest that our cooperation can go even deeper. "

President Nan suddenly realized what was going on and immediately praised, "The president is indeed very far-sighted!"

……

The sales of the products endorsed by Jinli exploded, not only making Domi Cosmetics popular in the cosmetics industry, but also the industry was paying attention to her sales data.

Although advertisers cannot obtain Domi’s internal sales data, they can see it with their own eyes!

Each flagship store had to take the powder puffs off the shelves because of how many orders they sold. Adding up all the sales would be Jinli's ability to bring goods.

Not to mention that Jinli was not the only one who contributed to the promotion this time, other members of Pink Girls also helped with the promotion... but this was ultimately Jinli's ability.

When other stars are doing publicity, they can also ask other stars to help promote it, but those stars don’t do that.

Jinli dares to do it and can do it, that is her ability.

And because Jinli worked hard to promote the product, the advertisers all had a favorable impression of her.

Which businessman wouldn’t like to spend one time’s money and get four times the strength?

All of a sudden, more advertisers came to ask Jinli for endorsement.

Fortunately, this time Chenxi Entertainment already has a dedicated person to be responsible for this endorsement business.

Unless the brand that comes to us is a first-tier brand, it will be transferred to Sui Lingfang. If there is no first-tier brand, other people will be responsible for the connection.
-
The disturbances in the outside world did not affect Jinli.

After calling on other members of Pink Girls to help with promotion, she went into seclusion again and spent the entire half month in the crew.

Even the weekends when I have time to rest are spent on the set.

While filming, she also devoted herself to studying physics.

Jinli discovered that the foundation is very important not only in physics, but also in mathematics and chemistry.

If the foundation is laid well, you can extend it step by step and derive more powerful formulas.

If she wanted to understand some advanced laws of physics, she had to learn the basics again.

In order to make the filming smoother, Director Zhong specially hired a physics professor to sit in the crew and provide relevant guidance.

Of course, this professor is very busy and only comes once a week to ensure that the general theoretical direction is correct.

In addition, Director Zhong also hired a university physics teacher.

This teacher is a team teacher. He eats and drinks with the crew just like the actors. He is responsible for answering questions and specifically solving the crew's doubts about physics.

Because Jinli is the lead actress, the movie involves a lot of physical derivation processes, and sometimes in order to inspire people, the character she plays, He Hui, has to give a speech on stage.

Therefore, Jinli must have a lot of physics experience, which also led to the fact that the team teacher would give Jinli special lessons whenever he had time.

It's like getting a physics teacher for free and helping her cram in physics knowledge!
Another shot of a physics experiment.

Although this is a group drama, Xu Wenwen and Jinli have a lot of rival scenes.

When Tong Guijuan was doing the experiment, she did not notice that one of the data was wrong, which caused an error in the instrument and there was a high possibility of an explosion.

At the critical moment, He Hui stood up and calmly asked them to check step by step to determine which step had the problem and then come up with a response plan.

The instruments were making a banging and roaring sound, which made every physicist tremble with fear.

With every roar, their bodies trembled violently.

He Hui found out which data was wrong and immediately adjusted the instrument.

She also had sweat on her forehead. In fact, she was not as calm as everyone imagined. She adjusted the parameters, reduced the pressure, and lowered the scale...

After a series of adjustments, the roar of the machine suddenly became much quieter.

When He Hui stopped, the machine stopped sounding the alarm and resumed normal operation, everyone, including Tong Guijuan, breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly at this moment, Director Zhong shouted "Cut!".

"Xu Wenwen, after Jinli has adjusted the equipment, you must rush over and record the data immediately. What are you still doing standing there?"

Only then did Xu Wenwen realize that she had been so immersed in Jinli's performance that she had forgotten Tong Guijuan's job for a moment.

Tong Guijuan is also an excellent physicist, and her obsession with physics is no less than He Hui.

Although "Dream Builder" is told from He Hui's perspective and mainly describes her great contributions, it does not mean that the brilliance of others should be overshadowed.

A task as serious as making a hydrogen bomb is far from something that can be accomplished by one person alone; it requires the concerted efforts of an excellent team.

Xu Wenwen felt a little depressed, and couldn't help but glance at Jinli, adjusting her state to reshoot the scene that she hadn't finished shooting just now.

Director Zhong prefers long shots when shooting and likes to shoot in one take.

Shooting long shots is very challenging for the actors. If one actor messes up his performance midway, they have to start over.

Fortunately, Director Zhong is not obsessed with long shots and does not require the actors to perform several scenes in succession at once.

In addition, the advantage of long shots is that they allow the audience to watch more immersively, and if you encounter actors with good acting skills, it can also shorten the shooting time.

But short shots also have their advantages.

Many TV dramas like to use short shots to cover up the shortcomings of the actors’ acting skills.

For example, many idol actors join the crew to film a drama, and they have to run around for announcements every day. The scenes they shoot are scattered, and their expressions and movements are not good enough.

But the director can also edit a good fantasy drama by making good use of short shots.

By switching lenses, we can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, while also providing the audience with a greater density of information.

Whether it is a long lens or a short lens, you need to grasp the right degree.

Too many long shots can easily make the audience feel dull and bored.

Too many short shots can easily make the audience confused, feeling that there are suspense everywhere and they don’t know what to say.

"Stuck, passed!"

Director Zhong shouted, then put down the speaker and stared at the screen, replaying the previous scene.

The stagehands asked someone to bring two large basins of chilled watermelon, and also brought in a few oversized fans to blow towards the director and actors.

It was a hot day, and in order to restore the scene at that time, there was no air conditioning installed in the room, only a few old-fashioned fans were blowing.

During the filming, Director Zhong complained that the wind from the fan was messing up the actors' hair and refused to turn it away.

Jinli took a bite of the iced watermelon and felt alive again.

I glanced at my phone and it was 34 degrees Celsius. The koi in the pond were about to be roasted!
Even if there is a big fan, the air it blows out is hot. It is still hot, but it can take away some of the stuffy and humid air.

Originally, the stagehands wanted to bring a large fan that could hold ice cubes and ice water to the crew, with the motor running at full capacity, which would be more comfortable than air conditioning.

But after moving in, I found that Director Zhong’s filming equipment was very delicate and could not stand contact with water.

Once it comes into contact with water, it may become unusable, and you can only switch to a hair dryer.

Jinli glanced at the script. The next scene was a daily scene. He Hui would write letters to her husband in her spare time. During this period of writing letters, she was the most relaxed.

He Hui's husband, who is also an excellent physicist, is leading a team to tackle another problem.

She and her husband are soul mates. They supported each other and grew up together during their studies.

In an era without mobile phones, letters were given great significance.

Jinli thought for a while and stopped eating melon. She wanted to take out the Chinese version of Wu San and do some reading comprehension.

She walked to where she had left her bag before, but it was empty.

Jinli looked around but couldn't find her bag, so she could only ask the busy staff.

While checking the actors for the next show and notifying the venue one by one, the stage manager thought about Jinli's bag.

After a while, he patted his head and said, "Jinli, I put your bag in the car. That position will be captured by the camera, and a modern bag will be very abrupt."

Jinli immediately said: "Thank you, Brother Liu!"

Liu the studio worker couldn't help but say, "Jinli, where's your assistant? The scenes later on are quite important, and you'll have to run around a lot, so it would be more convenient to have an assistant."

Jinli originally didn't want to find an assistant in the crew, as she felt she could take care of herself.

In fact, it was almost the same. I picked up my own lunch box, checked my own parts, and took the shuttle bus back to the hotel by myself.

But she couldn't take care of small things like putting her bag away, and other staff members didn't dare to touch it, so she had to report it to the venue staff and ask them to take it away.

This has invisibly increased the workload of the venue staff.

Jinli said: "I have asked my agent to find one for me, and he will be here soon."

Liu Changwu nodded quickly: "That's good, let her connect with me when the time comes."

While there was still some time, Jinli ran to the bus and took out Wu San.

First, do a few reading comprehension questions to get a feel for it!
Ten minutes later, Jinli's scene continued to be filmed.

She sat by the window, the bright sunshine fell on her, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

Jinli had short hair with bangs. She tucked one side of her hair behind her ear. She lowered her head slightly and wrote the letter gently and quietly.

To the people of Wei:
The experiment is still under testing, and there is a set of data that we are unsure of and needs to be tested as soon as possible.

I was very worried about whether my persistence was meaningful. If the data was fine as others said, then our efforts over the past few months would have been in vain...

Xu Wenwen had no more scenes in the morning, but she did not leave. Instead, she stayed in the crew to observe Jinli's performance.

Logically speaking.

Jinli has never acted in a movie, nor is she a professional actor. She is a novice among novices.

On the first day of filming, Xu Wenwen found out how much Jinli weighed.

But to her surprise, Jinli made progress every day.

As a talented actress, she can dislike an artist based on her likes and dislikes, but her professional ethics do not allow her to say the opposite.

Xu Wenwen had to admit that Jinli was making rapid progress. As the filming of the series got on track, her acting skills were making breakthroughs every day.

To this day, she can still be brought into it by Jinli's acting skills!

Her assistant fanned her and whispered, "Sister Wenwen, your performance just now was very good. You brought Tong Guijuan to life."

Xu Wenwen suddenly said, "What do you think of Jinli's filming of this scene?"

The assistant looked over, rolled his eyes, and said, "She feels pretty, but Jinli is from a girl group, so it's normal for her to be beautiful!"

Xu Wenwen glanced at her and said, "You are smart enough to know that I am beautiful."

She stared at Jinli and muttered to herself, "Director Zhong is famous for shooting small things that show the big picture. It's just an ordinary scene, but he can shoot it so beautifully through light and shadow composition. If it were another director, this scene would probably be mediocre."

The assistant quickly said, "As long as Director Zhong wants to take a photo of you, you can be this beautiful."

Xu Wenwen did not comment. As an actress, she is very satisfied with her face.

It may not be very beautiful, but it is definitely distinctive and memorable at first glance.

Xu Wenwen remained silent and watched Jinli finish filming this scene.

The assistant was about to bring some iced watermelon to Xu Wenwen when she heard the shouts of the field staff. Xu Wenwen suddenly stopped her and asked:
"Do you know how many minutes the Jinli scene took?"

The assistant was slightly stunned. "Five or six minutes? Or ten minutes? It feels quite long."

Xu Wenwen said: "And the director didn't call for a stop midway, he didn't call for a cut until Jinli put down her pen."

The assistant thought about it and realized that it was true.

Xu Wenwen said: "Bring me the letter written by Jinli."

The assistant was a little hesitant, feeling that this was not a good idea and a bit like stealing.

Xu Wenwen urged: "Go quickly!"

The assistant immediately walked over and took the letter off the table.

Xu Wenwen opened the envelope and saw three full pages of paper inside, and remained silent.

The assistant looked over curiously and was also stunned.

"She wrote it all down? Did she make it up herself? The handwriting is pretty nice."

Xu Wenwen said after a long while: "It's not made up. She memorized the entire content of the letter. I am not as attentive as she is."

The assistant was speechless.

She has been following this little ancestor for half a year and knows that she is arrogant and looks down on TV dramas and the actors in them.

This is normal. There is a chain of contempt in the film and television industry. The status of actors in movies is higher than those in TV dramas.

There are not many actors who can convince Xu Wenwen, and Jinli is one of the few.

Xu Wenwen said: "Next time, don't tell others that Jinli's acting is bad. At least in the Dream Builder crew, her acting is pretty good."

She paused, her eyes calm, "But I'm not bad either. I can take better pictures than her, for sure!"

On the other side, the stage manager reported to Director Zhong that Xu Wenwen had taken the letter written by Jinli.

Director Zhong was looking at the camera. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Remember to come back later."

……

Time flies and it is late August.

Jinli has completely adapted to the life on the crew, but this weekend, she had an important matter, so she asked Director Zhong for two days off.

Director Zhong said, "Okay, I'll just move the extras' scenes up here, but what are you going to do on the weekends, shoot an endorsement commercial?"

Jinli shook her head and said seriously, "No, I want to go and pray."

Director Zhong: “?”

Jinli: "The Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month is coming, and I have been invited by the Dragon and Tiger Temple to attend the worship ceremony."

Director Zhong was a little surprised: "It's actually Longhu Temple. It's hard to get an invitation to this temple."

Jinli asked curiously, "Director Zhong, have you heard of it?"

Director Zhong smiled and said: "Some of us who make movies are superstitious. For example, we have to worship the gods before filming and pray for a good omen, hoping that the gods will protect us and prevent accidents during filming.

I have a general feeling about these things, but I have a friend who believes in them very much. Every time he shoots a movie, he pays special attention to the opening ceremony and even invites lion dancers to perform.

I was influenced by him and heard him say a few times that Longhu Temple was more spiritual, and whenever he was filming, as long as he could go there to worship, everything would be fine.

But if they miss the ceremony once, there is something wrong with the crew.”

Jinli couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this a bit superstitious?"

Director Zhong shook his head and said: "Although the process of releasing TV series and movies online has been shortened a lot now, there are still many accidents. No one can predict such accidents. It is better to believe in them than not to believe in them."

He thought for a moment and said, "That's perfect. When you go to Longhu Temple, please pray for my crew and pray for a smooth filming. It would be best if we could win an award or something."

Jinli agreed: "Okay!"

Please give me a monthly vote~ I recommend my old completed entertainment book "Divas' Development Notes", which is also mainly about filming. Tencent also has a short drama with the same name, but the novel is definitely better.
