I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 200 Joining the crew of And Then There Were None, the huge pressure brought by the veteran actors
Jinli took a plane back to South City and immediately went to the company for a meeting. This time, she mainly talked about the live broadcast effect of "Leisure and Slow Life".

Chenxi Entertainment likes to give summaries to artists so that they can understand the impact of each of their announcements.

On the one hand, it allows them to realize how great their influence is, and on the other hand, it allows the company to realize whether there is any deviation in the company's positioning of celebrities.

As for "Leisurely Slow Life", Jinli has definitely delivered an answer that satisfies the investors.

Putting aside other things, the two hot searches related to Jinli that are still on the list are not exaggerated.

After Sui Lingfang finished talking about the live broadcast effect, she mentioned Wangwang again and said with a smile:

"That time you and Gu Cheng live-streamed your study session at night, and Wangwang got a lot of views. Wangwang was tempted to get into the live-streaming business, and has been looking for celebrities in the circle these days."

She changed the subject: "But no famous star in the circle responded. I know a few stars who are preparing to take graduate school entrance exams, but they didn't agree to Wangwang."

Jinli thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the materials that graduate students are going to read are very different from the materials that high school students study, and the audience may not be interested in them."

Sui Lingfang agreed: "That's the reason. Apart from you, other celebrities in the circle don't dare to live broadcast their studies."

Jinli suddenly had an idea: "I think Wangwang is on the wrong track. If he really wants to do live learning, he can just open a public study room.

Then, various types of learning videos can be opened in the study room, such as "lectures by famous experts", which can attract a large number of people to watch.

This can also attract other audiences to come, not necessarily to learn, but to listen as long as they are interested, which can broaden their horizons.”

Her idea is easy to understand.

Take Maozhua Live for example. The audience who are learning with her now actually have a strong purpose and are determined to gain something.

But in fact, many people want to learn and understand certain things, not necessarily in order to become experts in a certain field, but simply to gain some experience.

Jinli feels that learning live broadcasting can be transformed into a learning classroom.

Live streaming is just a novel form, but there are many ways to learn.

By taking advantage of the convenience of the Internet, live streaming platforms can develop more ways of learning instead of relying on celebrity live streaming to drive the trend.

She is still studying now, but what will happen when she gets into college and stops live streaming? Will the study room have to be abandoned?

When Jinli thought of this result, she felt a little sorry.

Sui Lingfang thought for a while, her eyes twinkling: "You are definitely opening up a new learning track!"

Why can’t self-study video websites be established?
Isn't it because the purpose is too clear that it inherently keeps some audiences out?

Sui Lingfang said: "Your idea is good. Now you and Mao Zhua have a good cooperation. Why don't you tell Mao Zhua about this idea and see if you can set up a separate department to do it."

At this point, she suddenly added, "Forget it, I'll talk to Cat's Claw for you. If they really set up another department, you must occupy a position in it and get a salary, otherwise it will be a waste of your creativity."

Ordinary people’s creativity is worthless and no one will use it even if they are shared.

But when she reached Jinli's position, her only thought was that she was valuable.

There are also some celebrities in the circle who are directly hired as XX employees of a company. They do not participate in the internal operations of the company, but they can all receive an annual salary.

Sui Lingfang felt that she could make Jinli a partner of Mao Zhua.

Jinli nodded, winked and smiled mischievously: "Sister Fang, I feel that you are becoming more and more reliable!"

Sui Lingfang hummed and said proudly: "This is called professionalism!"

That afternoon, Xi Mengze did not go to any announcements and came directly to visit Jinli's apartment.

The location for this shoot was just an ordinary town. Because the shoot lasted only two days and Jinli had no time to go out and play, she didn't bring any souvenirs for Xi Mengze.

Xi Mengze waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I traveled every day for a while, but I didn't bring any for you, did I?

Nowadays, souvenirs are all similar and are all produced in Yiwu. If I really want one, I can just go to Yiwu and take a look.”

Jinli shook her head: "That's different. What I bring back to you is different from what you buy yourself."

She changed the subject, took out three scratch tickets from her bag, and said with a smile:
"So I prepared some local scratch tickets for you. I saw a lottery station when I was visiting the park and bought a few."

Xi Mengze's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it and scratched the card, "This is good, I hope the God of Wealth will bless me and win the grand prize!"

Jinli's koi fish is surprisingly good when applied to herself.

But it may not work when used on others.

None of Xi Mengze's photos hit the mark.

Although it is a bit regrettable, this is a common thing when buying lottery tickets. Those who win consecutively are a bit abnormal.

Xi Mengze put the lottery ticket down, rolled his eyes, and said:
"By the way, do you remember the restaurant where we had dinner with Yan Jianqiao last time and saw Lian Baozhi with a strange man?"

Jinli looked at her meaningfully, "This is the purpose of your trip, right? Tell me, what gossip have you heard?"

Xi Mengze chuckled and said, "I didn't ask about this, it was Sister Fang who asked about it.

I sent the photo to Sister Fang, and she thought the man looked familiar, so she asked him about it. It turned out that the man was a director named Zhuang Fan.

"Zhuang Fan?"

Jinli shook her head. "I don't have any impression. Is he a famous director?"

Xi Mengze: "He's just a new director, but come to think of it, he and you do have some history. He once invited you to play the leading role in his drama. The script was pretty good, and Sister Fang chose you to trick Li Xunfang."

Jinli suddenly realized.

She remembered!
"That's Zhuang Fan. I remember that Sister Fang mentioned two scripts to me. The characters in both scripts overlap with Liu Ci, the character I play, but they are also full of character arcs, and the personality and story lines are very full."

Sui Lingfang had specially selected those two scripts and asked her whether she wanted to take them. Jinli read them all and decided to turn them down.

Having one Liu Ci is enough, she doesn't want to be restricted.

What matters in a script is the content. Unless you want to take the role, you will pay attention to the director and the production team. Jinli knows the names of the two directors, but she can't remember them for a while.

After Xi Mengze mentioned this, she remembered everything.

Jinli asked curiously: "But I remember that those two dramas were both snatched by Li Xunfang, so why did Director Zhuang Fan and Lian Baozhi..."

Xi Mengze chuckled again, looking cunning.

"I just received news today that Li Xunfang has decided to withdraw from the filming of "The Perfect Couple" due to notice issues. This is the drama directed by Zhuang Fan."

Jinli's eyes flickered slightly: "So Director Zhuang Fan wants to cast Lian Baozhi as the leading actress?"

Xi Mengze shrugged, "I don't know. The new female lead in "The Perfect Couple" has not been announced to the public yet, and the news is still kept secret."

She vowed, "Just wait and see what happens next. Lian Baozhi deliberately snatched Li Xunfang's drama, even if it was a drama she didn't want, Li Xunfang would not swallow her anger."

Although on the surface, the handover seemed normal.

But in fact, Lian Baozhi must have poached the girl in advance.

If a first-line star like Lian Baozhi hadn't taken over, "The Perfect Couple" would not have given up on Li Xuanfang immediately!

Xi Mengze said with a look of excitement, "Li Xunfang doesn't like being outshined, and Lian Baozhi has always liked to be the first in everything since her debut. There will definitely be a fight between these two!" Jinli glanced at her, "Why do you look so excited?"

Xi Mengze immediately sat up straight with a gentle smile on his face: "I'm just an ordinary person who likes to eat melons."

Jinli couldn't help but complain: "I think you are the kind of person who would cheer for others if a fight broke out!"

Xi Mengze smiled at her softly, with a hint of shyness in his eyes.

"How could that be? I am a weak woman and I cannot stand bloody and violent content."

Jinli: ...

If she didn't know that Xi Mengze liked to watch "domineering and forced love", "SM control desire", and "irresistible pheromones of female A and male O", she would have really believed it.

Soon it was November 11th, and Jinli officially joined the crew of And Then There Were None.

This time Sui Lingfang had time, so she brought Jinli to the crew.

Other members of the crew have arrived one after another. When the director saw them, he was very enthusiastic and did not show any aloofness as a director at all.

Not only did he personally run around for them and arrange accommodation for Jinli and her assistant, he also personally took them on a tour of the scene.

Jinli was a little frightened by Director Deng Zexu's enthusiasm.

The director of any film crew I've been to before has never been so "friendly".

The stagehand came over and asked the director about the circuit problem. Deng Zexu apologized and said, "I'll go do something first. You guys go shopping by yourselves!"

Jinli said quickly: "Director Deng, go ahead and do your work, we can do it ourselves!"

People who don’t know would think that this was the tour guide they hired!
The location where they started filming was on the small island. Director Deng just mentioned that a friend of his owned a villa on the island and rented it to him at a very low price.

After Deng Zexu left, Sui Lingfang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered to Jinli:

"Morning Light Entertainment saw that the investment in this drama was not very large, and since you were willing to take it over and were optimistic about the prospects of this drama, they also invested a little, probably about 40% of the shares."

Jinli now understood why Director Deng was so enthusiastic about her.

It turns out that she is a member of the funding team!

Jinli was a little doubtful, "Sister Fang, Director Deng is so enthusiastic about me, I'm afraid he will lower the quality of the movie, turn a blind eye to my acting skills, and dare not criticize me."

Sui Lingfang shrugged.

“After all, this drama is his, and Morningside Entertainment cannot interfere. If he gives you special treatment because of this, there is nothing we can do.

Jinli, you have to get used to this phenomenon gradually. As your fame and popularity grow, many people in the circle will compliment you. "

She said earnestly: "I am not worried about other people's compliments, I am worried that you will lose yourself in the compliments."

Jinli thought for a while.

After a long while, she said, "What should I do? I'm already worried about the quality of this movie."

Sui Lingfang did not comment, "Maybe you can trust the director a little more. I just saw the other actors he invited. They are all veterans in the industry whose works are popular but they are not famous. You must be under a lot of pressure."

At first, Jinli didn't understand what Sui Lingfang meant.

But when the official shooting started the next day, she immediately felt a tremendous pressure when acting opposite the "veterans" as Sister Fang called them.

Those people seemed to be the characters themselves!

Their every move, tone of voice and expression are exactly the same as the feeling conveyed by the original work.

They themselves have already transformed into that character!
This is more than just seniority, this is already a veteran actor!

Jinli has always been filming with people of the same age, and has mostly acted opposite them.

Because she is very talented, her acting skills have always surpassed those of her peers.

Even when acting opposite Xu Wenwen, who has excellent acting skills, Jinli can quickly find her own rhythm and successfully drag Xu Wenwen into her rhythm.

But this time, "And Then There Were None" does not have distinct protagonists and supporting characters. Every character can be said to be the protagonist and is punished for the crimes he has committed.

This also means that those veteran actors don’t need to give up their roles at all.

They don't need to hide their edge and prepare for more important roles.

At the same time, their characters' plots do not need to give way to the protagonist; each of them is the protagonist.

This also leads to the fact that veteran actors love to show off their acting skills.

On the first day of filming, Jinli felt like she couldn't breathe.

As for her previous worry that Director Deng would give her special treatment because she was an investor, this was not a problem.

Because even Jinli thought that her performance was too bad!
Without the director asking for a retake, Jinli took the initiative to stand up and apologize to everyone for a retake.

What we filmed today was just a very peaceful scene.

Everyone was invited by the rich man to come to the island together, where they gathered together to talk and communicate, and by the way, explained their identities and origins.

Every character speaks in a way that fits their personality, whether it's smiling, frowning, pausing, or wondering... everything is just right.

Even one of the male actors who was also from the new generation, Jinli felt that he performed better than herself.

This actor was just a college graduate and had never had any acting experience before.

On the first day of filming, Jinli felt that she was off to a bad start and her performance was very poor.

But she had already asked the director to NG ten times in a row, and she felt embarrassed if she continued to do so.

After ten times, the director didn't let her do it again, so Jinli didn't dare to ask for it again.

night.

Jinli called Sister Fang and said with great pressure and indescribable excitement: "The actors here are so amazing!"

She said honestly, "I don't think I can keep up with their pace."

Sui Lingfang seemed to have expected this and said with a smile: "Don't you want to hone your acting skills?
You should be thanking me for arranging a crew with so many veteran actors for you. Study hard. Everyone in this drama is a huge treasure."

Jinli asked back: "Even if it's that new generation actor who has never been exposed to acting?"

Sui Lingfang said affirmatively: "Yes, in this drama, you can feel the pinnacle of true self-acting!"

The birthday of the God of Wealth refers to the birthday of Li Guizu, the civil God of Wealth, and Zhao Gongming, the martial God of Wealth, who are believed by the Chinese. This day is the folk God of Wealth Festival of the Chinese people. Every July 7, people set off firecrackers to celebrate the birthday of the God of Wealth, and hope that this day is a good omen, and some businessmen will be blessed and make money.

The official and Taoist gods named him Li Guizu (popularly known as the God of Wealth), while the Chinese folk beliefs call him Zhao Gongming (popularly known as the God of Wealth).

The so-called birthday of Li Guizu, the God of Wealth, is actually the day when Li Guizu attained enlightenment and became an immortal in Taoism. There are also two versions of the birthday of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth: one is the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month, and the other is the 15th day of the third lunar month.

I wish you all a happy God of Wealth Festival today~
