I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 175: A strange script, neither the male nor female protagonist is a good person (5K monthly ticket required)
Li Xunfang still does not intend to give up the online public opinion war.

Today's hot search is #Is Jinli really that popular#, tomorrow's hot search is #Jinli plays big#, and the day after tomorrow's hot search is #Jinli's winning is fake#...

Anyway, whatever can create a gimmick, do it.

Li Xunfang's team never tires of smearing her, and netizens who had been fooled for three consecutive days finally realized that something was wrong.

[Can't you give me some real information? It's always just hearsay. I also heard that the world will end next year. It was predicted by the Mayans!]
[It is said that I am Qin Shi Huang, give me money!!]
[It is said that I am a descendant of the Zuan people, give me money!!]
[There is not even a picture, bad review! ]
But Li Xunfang's team seemed not to have seen the comments from netizens, and they were still happy to hype up Jinli and make her a hot topic.

Now even netizens know that Jinli was protected by someone, otherwise why would so many "rumored black materials" come flooding in.

Some people who are curious even pulled out the celebrities who had worked with Jinli and analyzed which celebrity had screwed her.

Some people also talked about Li Xunfang, but the news was quickly covered up by public relations.

"Fang Fei's spokesperson will be released soon, otherwise Li Xuanfang wouldn't keep holding on to you."

In her free time, Jinli chatted with Gu Cheng via video call, wanting to talk about the script.

Gu Cheng started by asking about the latest entertainment hot spots, all of which were related to Jinli.

Jinli said helplessly: "Although I am very happy that she put me on the hot list for free, I don't want to be rumored all the time. I hope Fangfei will announce the spokesperson as soon as possible, whether it's me or Li Xunfang."

Being on the trending search list is a good thing.

But Jinli felt weird about being on the hot search list based on the black material that was not true at all, and it felt like she was taking up social resources.

Moreover, she didn't think there was anything worth discussing, but netizens still participated in the discussion with real emotions.

It's just a bunch of rumors, aren't you tired of it?
Gu Cheng said: "Don't worry, it will probably be just these few days, otherwise she wouldn't be so crazy about you."

He changed the subject, "But the methods used by her team are quite low-level, and it feels like they are just wasting money. People in the industry can tell at a glance that it was done by her. It seems that she is very afraid of you."

Jinli said: "Everyone competes based on their own abilities. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Cheng smiled and said meaningfully, "She must have heard some rumors and thought Fang Fei was very fond of you, so she resorted to this desperate measure."

Jinli shook her head, then she didn't know.

After all, Chenxi Entertainment does not have such power to bribe Fangfei’s internal staff.

Moreover, important developments like those of a spokesperson are not something that ordinary people can know about.

It is difficult to bribe such a person.

Jinli said, "Let's talk about your drama "Assassination". I heard Yan Xingdong mention it. You want to turn the TV series into a movie, and you want investment?"

Curiosity flickered in her eyes. "Can you show me the script? Is this play really that good?"

Gu Cheng said readily, "Okay. Originally it was not possible, but I made it clear that I wanted to participate in the investment. On the contrary, I can show you the script. The identity of an actor is different from that of an investor."

This was their first video call, and they were not discussing study, but career. Jinli felt it was quite fresh.

Gu Cheng sent her an electronic version of the script, and since both of them had nothing to do, they read the script together.

Gu Cheng naturally continued to figure out the role, while Jinli read it quickly.

Jinli's expression fluctuated with the plot, sometimes frowning, sometimes cheerful, sometimes solemn, and finally silent.

After reading it, she took a deep breath and said, "No wonder it can't be made into a TV series. This narrative style is easy to touch the line, and the early youth period may not be able to attract everyone to watch.

I think the focus of this script is in the second half, which is the scenes after adulthood. It gives me a sense of pleasure of revenge, and the emotional line of this drama——"

Jinli couldn't help but frowned, "Suspension Bridge Effect?"

She was not sure, so she searched on Wikipedia.

The suspension bridge effect is a psychological term that refers to dangerous or stimulating situations that can promote mutual affection.

When a person is crossing a suspension bridge, in this tense environment, his heart rate will involuntarily speed up.

But when he meets another person, he will interpret this accelerated heartbeat as his attraction to the other person.

The suspension bridge effect can be explained as when we have strong feelings for someone, we become particularly sensitive and cautious because we are afraid of losing the relationship.

Jinli feels that the heroine in the story has such feelings for the hero, so she thinks that the hero is her salvation.

After the male protagonist died, the female protagonist became a teacher and fell in love with the male protagonist's younger brother who was studying.

The emotional line of this drama is very complicated, but in the simple and straightforward plot line, there is a sense of complementation.

The straightforward becomes less straightforward, and the implicit becomes less implicit.

Jinli finally understood why Gu Cheng was obsessed with the drama "Assassination".

These days she checks in and studies at Chenxi Entertainment, and also reads scripts in her free time, but the scripts handed to her have never been as special as "Assassination".

Strange and amazing.

"Assassination" tells the story of school violence in the early stage, and turns into a revenge drama in the later stage. The little girl who was originally bullied grows up with difficulty and becomes a teacher.

But the shadow of her childhood did not disappear, and she decided to take action against the children of those who had committed violence against her.

Yes, children.

The heroine decided to take revenge on their children by using her identity as a teacher.

Fight violence with violence, and blood with blood.

Of course, there is still screening involved. If the children have done nothing wrong, the heroine will not frame them.

But if the child is also an abuser, the heroine will implement her plan.

So Jinli thinks the plot line is simple and straightforward, but the obscure and complex love line makes the plot confusing.

More importantly, the so-called male protagonist is not a good person.

That’s why it’s not easy.

The male and female protagonists of this drama are not good people.

As a victim of abuse, the heroine sought shelter from the male abuser while seeking self-help.

The male protagonist went from being ridiculed at the beginning to being accepted later, and then he died accidentally while saving her, becoming a permanent thorn in the female protagonist's heart.

When the heroine grew up, she took revenge by making every child experience the pain she had once suffered.

But in the process, she also showed mercy to the hero's younger brother.

18 years have passed, and it seems like we are back to the starting point.

The protagonist's younger brother has a different personality from the protagonist, but the kind of family will determine the kind of child you raise.

The younger brother is not a good person either. He is also an abuser, but with the favor of the heroine, he is able to escape from the scene and escape every time.

At the end of the drama, the heroine achieved the justice she wanted and was put in prison.

You say this drama is exciting, and it is quite exciting. The revenge in the end is really cruel.

But you may feel unhappy, but the protagonist's younger brother can always escape danger because of the damn "white moonlight".

In the end, the hero's brother came to his senses and became a good man after the heroine was put in prison.

But is what the audience wants to see about honest people?
No.

What the audience likes to read most is the kind of exciting stories.

But here comes the problem.

Every screenwriter or director who pursues a cool story always has to add something different to elevate the theme, as if this would embellish the complexity of human nature.

Jinli gave a lot of analysis, and after finishing, she looked at Gu Cheng deliberately, wanting to hear his thoughts, and ended up looking into his smiling eyes.

Jinli blinked, "Why are you smiling so cunningly?"

Gu Cheng was happy: "I was not sure about the prospects of this drama. Maybe I was the only one who thought it was good. I showed it to other members of March Day and they all thought it was a bit weird and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

But only your reaction was different. Seeing you like this, I felt that I had made the right choice in choosing this drama. It has great potential to be a hit. I reaffirmed my thoughts. "

Jinli thought for a moment, put away the teasing on her face, and said slowly: "Although I have never invested in a film or TV series, if I were to choose, I would choose this to invest in. I hope it can be filmed."

Gu Cheng asked back: "Don't you think the second half is not exciting enough?"

Jinli raised her eyebrows: "Of course I'm unhappy. Why should I let the hero's brother go? But it is precisely because of the heroine's partiality that the weakness of human nature is revealed.

Humans are not perfect creatures. They have emotions and are selfish, so she is biased. It is precisely because of this bias that I don’t think she is a good person, at least not a good person in the traditional sense.

How much impact does school violence have on a person's youth? To paraphrase a popular saying: Some people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while others use their whole life to heal their childhood.

Jinli paused and said, "The heroine seems to have grown up, but her time is forever frozen in the year when the hero died. Her appearance will age, but her heart will never get out of it." Gu Cheng looked down at the script, the tip of his pen poking a small dot from time to time, thinking about something.

Jinli propped her chin up with her hand, tilted her head and waited quietly.

When Gu Cheng is quiet, he looks quite handsome.

The room is well lit, but his outstanding facial features can be divided into light and dark lines. When he frowns slightly, he looks like a young man in trouble, and when his brows are relaxed, he has the handsomeness of a beautiful jade-like beauty.

No wonder the director wanted Gu Cheng to play the male lead.

No wonder fans say he is suitable to play the campus idol.

Jinli suddenly replaced Gu Cheng as the male lead of the show. With such a handsome face, it is impossible that when he kills people with a smile, his fans will praise him.

Tsk, that's crazy!

"Jinli, Jinli?"

A clear voice came, and Jinli came back to her senses, meeting Gu Cheng's worried eyes, "Are you okay? You've been distracted for a long time."

Jinli shook her head. "No, I see you've been thinking about it. Have you figured it out?"

Gu Cheng said: “My original idea was to ask the director to compress the plot of the TV series into that of a movie, use the movie distribution channels, and make some investments.

But after listening to your analysis, I suddenly felt that it would be a bit difficult to film both the youth and revenge plots in a 90-minute film. "

He paused and said, "I was thinking, how about making it into two parts?"

Jinli thought about it and said bluntly: "I understand your idea, one for the youth line and one for the revenge line, but I think the content is a bit fragmented. Others make movies in series, and few people do this.

Even if there is, only big directors do this. But even big directors will mess up when making two films, so I don’t recommend you to do this.

Also, are you sure it can be shown in theaters? If it's just one part, maybe there's a chance, but if it's divided into two parts, that's very difficult."

Gu Cheng pondered and said, "What if we don't use the movie channel but the online movie channel?"

Jinli was a little surprised: "Online adult?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "Yes, this is also an idea that I suddenly had. I think that the online movie channel is more suitable for the director to play his role, and it can be more flexible in the adaptation of the subject matter, and it is relatively easy to pass the review."

Jinli lowered her eyes to think, then nodded: "This is a good idea."

Gu Cheng looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Do you want to invest?"

Jinli's eyes lit up: "Can I vote too?"

Gu Cheng asked back: "Why not? But if you really want to invest, don't invest too much. I'm afraid that I will lose money and then I will hurt you."

Jinli said quickly: "If I lose money, I will blame you."

Gu Cheng smiled but said nothing.

After Jinli hung up the call, she still hadn't figured out what Gu Cheng's smile meant.

When she started studying, it suddenly occurred to her.

If she really relies on Gu Cheng, she will probably be the one who suffers!
Gu Cheng might even wish she would rely on him? ?

Jinli suddenly felt her cheeks a little hot, and waved away the wind gently, not knowing why she felt hot.

……

Although Jinli was very interested in the script of "Assassination" and was really willing to invest, she never thought about playing the female lead.

Because she was already choosing a script with Sister Fang, and she picked "And Then There Were None" which Sister Fang had specially reserved for her.

"And Then There Were None" is a classic suspense novel. There are many movie adaptations based on it, but the most familiar one is the foreign version.

In the conference room, Sui Lingfang explained the pros and cons of participating in this drama.

She first told him the bad things to see if Jinli could accept it.

"The downside is that there are already good examples before, so people will be very critical of your performance and the plot, but the director will definitely make some changes to everyone's stories, so you will have a large number of fans of the original novel finding fault."

Jinli nodded, it was understandable to remake a classic.

Some fans of the novel will even resist remakes in order to prevent the classics in their minds from being ruined.

But for creators, it is a huge temptation to transform the medium of novels into film and television dramas, stage plays, animation games, etc.

Everyone wants their work to be remembered in other forms.

However, creators have no say in adaptations, and capital, driven by profit, often makes magical changes to works, which is an inevitable problem.

Jinli asked: "What are the benefits?"

Sui Lingfang said: "Your acting skills can be honed. Through my personal connections, I have asked some movie stars what kind of movies can help them hone their acting skills quickly.

The advice they all gave was to remake classics.

Remaking classics will force actors to repeatedly ponder how previous performers performed, forcing themselves to act in a unique way. Under this kind of pressure, the actors' acting skills will improve quickly.

Although netizens will still complain about your acting skills after a classic is made, actors will feel comfortable performing other original dramas afterwards.”

Jinli thought thoughtfully: "Tempering... Pressure is motivation. Either you are dragged down, or you take a step forward."

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Yes, so it depends on your choice. If you don't want to shoot, we can also take a step back and shoot a TV series."

She smiled and said, "At least there are still many people who want to film a TV series with you!"

The successful portrayal of the character of Liu Ci gave Jinli great confidence.

Jinli shook her head: "Just take "And Then There Were None". You'll be joining the crew in November, right?"

"Yes, are you sure you want to answer it? Then I will give you a clear answer now."

Jinli affirmed: "Take it!"

Sui Lingfang picked up her phone and suddenly saw a message. She couldn't help but screamed, "Fang Fei's spokesperson is out!"

Jinli also quickly opened her phone, "Has the official website announced the news?"

Sui Lingfang was a little incoherent and said anxiously: "No, no, the person in charge who contacted me sent me a message, it's not on the official website, let me check...

Tian, ​​Jinli, congratulations, you have become the spokesperson for Fangfei China!"

Sui Lingfang screamed like a groundhog again, and fireworks burst out in Jinli's mind.

After nearly half a year of competition, it is not easy to finally settle the matter!

Fang Fei informed Jinli in advance, and after confirming the time for taking promotional photos and advertisements with Jinli, she announced the news on the official website that afternoon.

Fangfei: [Congratulations to @Jinli for becoming the spokesperson for Fangfei in China. Welcome to join Fangfei! Picture.jpg]
With just a few simple words and a specially processed picture of Jinli cheongsam, Fangfei was confirmed as the spokesperson for the triennial campaign.

After this news was announced, the tag #Jinli becomes Fangfei's spokesperson# instantly became the number one hot search and reached the top with an unrivaled momentum.

All hot searches have to give way to her.

Coincidentally, among the top 20 hot searches, there is a tag called #锦梨赢造假#.

This tag is associated with becoming the spokesperson for Fangfei, and netizens often click on them together, only to find out that the fraudulent winning was actually a mistake and there is no evidence at all.

Smart netizens have already started to think about conspiracy theories.

[These days, Jinli's negative information is everywhere. It turns out that it is all to steal Fangfei's piece of cake. The gossip public account is not lying to me! ]
[So who has been bashing Jinli?]
[Li Xunfang, she has released a lot of soft ads for Fangfei in the past few months, and isn’t she popular with brands?]
[Li Xuanfang already has so many spokespeople, there’s no need to do this, right?]
[Those rubbish endorsements can’t be compared with top luxury brands. The endorsement fees from these top luxury brands are generally not very high, but the influence they bring to the stars is very strong. Jinli’s net worth will skyrocket! ]
Netizens guessed correctly.

Jinli's worth has indeed skyrocketed.

What he regretted the most was that he had been negotiating with Chenxi Entertainment about a brand that sells light luxury bags. Previously, the two sides had been engaged in a tug-of-war over the issue of endorsement prices.

Now that Jinli has become the spokesperson for Fangfei, the light luxury brand immediately stopped bargaining, but Chenxi Entertainment instead offered a price three times higher than before.

The affordable luxury brand also readily agreed.

Because they know that as Jinli becomes the spokesperson for Fangfei, soon some top luxury brands will set their sights on Jinli.

Top luxury brands are very cautious when selecting brand spokespersons.

But selecting brand friends, brand ambassadors, brand publicity officers... doesn't mean that a star can only be one among many brands.

If you don't act quickly now, it might be hard to get Jinli's endorsement.

Besides, even if Jinli's endorsement fee increases, it will not be a loss for the affordable luxury brand.

Because Jinli's image will be well-known throughout the world under the operation of top luxury brands, other brands can gain international fame for free by joining Jinli.
