I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 219: The sword is still sharp, and the person is more beautiful than the flower (asking for monthly ticket)

Jinli thought for a moment and asked, "The heroine deserted the battlefield, and Assassination has been filming for a month. Will it cause any trouble to the crew?"

Sui Lingfang said bluntly: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Jinli's eyes flashed with interest: "Tell me everything."

Sui Lingfang: “I think this is a good thing for the crew. According to the information I received, because the new actors had no acting experience, even after a month of filming, the crew didn’t even finish the first climax scene.

For such obvious dragging behavior, kicking the person out early can help replace him with a more efficient one, who might be able to finish a big scene in a week. From this perspective, replacing him is actually better.”

"But."

Sui Lingfang changed the subject, "If a crew frequently changes actors, it is not a good thing for the director.

This means that the director has no vision for people, which will make people question whether he can make this movie well. If it is an experienced director, the investment can be more assured, but this is Yan Jianqiao's first time making a movie.

From this incident, I doubt his ability. He made the same mistake that almost all new directors make. "

Jinli asked curiously: "Common problem?"

Sui Lingfang said bluntly: "You have high aspirations but low skills. You always want to achieve everything in one go. You want to complete the journey that others have worked hard for ten years just by filming a drama."

Jinli's eyes flickered slightly, and she probably understood.

Sister Fang is accusing Yan Jianqiao of being too ambitious.

Sui Lingfang: “New directors always like to learn from famous directors and want to discover unique actors on their own, but they are just newcomers when it comes to filming a movie, so how can they guide others?
In my opinion, Tianding Entertainment should not give Yan Jianqiao too much freedom. They should start tracking him from the script adaptation, stop the process as soon as there are any problems, and let their internal staff take over the show.

It would be best if Tianding had already chosen the actors, so Director Yan only needs to think about the plot and how to film it well.”

Jinli shook her head and said softly, "Famous directors have their own pride, and new directors have their own pride. If Tianding Entertainment had done this from the beginning, Yan Jianqiao might not have chosen to shoot it."

She paused, and said without any bias: "He is a new director. He invited Gu Cheng to shoot his first film, and he also got investment from so many people. It is normal for him to have some pursuit.

If this drama was poorly made, it would just be a small wave rushing into the sea and would soon be submerged under the sea. As for the newcomers, netizens are already used to it.

But if it’s well shot, I have a feeling it will be a huge surprise to many people.”

Sui Lingfang thought: Why does this sound familiar?

Oh, isn't this the same argument she used to persuade Jinli to take on "Dream Builder" and "And Then There Were None"?

However, their situations are very different.

Jinli is a popular actress who takes on unpopular scripts.

But in the drama "Assassination", except for Gu Cheng, all other actors are newcomers. This is clearly using popular stars to lead newcomers!
If it weren't for the novelty of the script and Gu Cheng's willingness to shoot it, Sui Lingfang would not have convinced the company to invest.

She glanced at Jinli and said, "You know director Yan Jianqiao very well."

Jinli shook her head again: "I only met him once and had dinner with him once, so we are not very familiar with each other.

The impression he gives me is that he is very persistent. Perhaps he needs to fall hard before he can grow up. "

Sui Lingfang didn't say anything.

Not to mention directors, as long as you are a working person, who hasn’t gained experience through falling down countless times?

If this happened to another artist, Sui Lingfang would still remain calm.

But Chenxi Entertainment participated in the investment of "Assassination". As a senior executive of the company and a matchmaker, she could get some share of the profits of "Assassination".

When she thought about Yan Jianqiao wasting a month's time with the company's investment money, she felt her heart bleed.

In her mind, she has transitioned from "If I had known, I would have hired mature actors to film this", to "If I had known, I would have let Yan Jianqiao be a pure screenwriter, and they would have used the gimmick of Gu Cheng's participation to find a famous director", and then to "If I had known, I would not have invested in the first place"! -
In the crew of And Then There Were None.

Ren Changtao prepared a large bouquet of flowers and walked towards the crew.

He remembered that today was the day Jinli finished filming, and he had prepared a grand wrap-up banquet for Jinli.

The crew seemed a little deserted, with only a few staff members walking around busily.

Ren Changtao wondered, could it be that Deng Zexu sent a group of people back?
When he arrived at the filming location, he only saw the veteran actor who played the judge filming the final execution scene!

Because special effects were needed, the crew specially used a green screen. In order to better capture the actors' expressions, a bunch of patches were pasted on the veteran actor's face.

Most of the staff gathered at the shooting site, watching the veteran actor's final performance.

Some people saw Ren Changtao, especially the flowers in his hands, and looked a little strange.

Ren Changtao looked around but didn't see Jinli, so he pulled a staff member to ask, "Where is Jinli?"

The staff member was stunned for a moment, "Are you looking for Jinli?"

He had a deep impression of Ren Changtao. After all, it was the first time he saw an actor who would often go to the crew for no reason after the filming was completed.

He said, "Why don't you come in the morning? Jinli's final scene is in the morning!"

Ren Changtao: …

"I played games all night last night and I was resting this morning. I thought I would have to shoot all day, so I got up at noon to prepare." His expression became increasingly uglier.

"Click!!"

Suddenly, Director Deng in the front shouted, smiling happily, "It's done! It's over! Congratulations to Uncle Wei for wrapping up! Congratulations to the entire crew of And Then There Were None for wrapping up!"

Everyone cheered!

Uncle Wei, who had just been immersed in the performance with a serious expression, felt relieved and started clapping with a smile.

This made Ren Changtao's gloomy expression stand out in the crowd, especially with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Uncle Wei probably understood something and didn't want the young man to lose face, so he walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"I didn't expect that I, an old man like me, would get flowers when I finished filming. It's really surprising."

The staff members standing nearby suddenly had an idea and said, "Uncle Wei, it's clear that you are still as sharp as ever. You can still fight in the entertainment industry for another 30 years!"

Uncle Wei laughed and scolded, "No, it would be a happy ending for me if I can live to the day of receiving my pension."

Deng Zexu saw Ren Changtao and walked over without bothering to clean up.

His friend was still daydreaming, so he couldn't help but touch him and reminded him, "Why don't you give the flowers to Uncle Wei?"

Ren Changtao suddenly came to his senses and mechanically handed the flowers forward.

Uncle Wei smiled and said, "Seeing this bouquet of flowers makes me feel a little younger."

Ren Changtao adjusted his attitude and said with a grin, "Yes, Uncle Wei, I think you are prettier than flowers!"

Uncle Wei laughed and scolded a few more times.

After the crowd dispersed, Deng Zexu pulled Ren Changtao aside and whispered, "Why didn't you come this morning?"

Ren Changtao curled his lips and said, "It's my fault that I didn't ask you about the wrap-up time. I was sleeping in the morning."

Deng Zexu patted him sympathetically.

"In fact, I came in the afternoon and nothing went wrong. Jinli's final scene was very important, and I didn't expect that I could finish it in one morning. But she was in good shape and dared to fight and fight, and she finished the filming in the morning. I couldn't keep her there."

He paused, "Also, it's a good thing that you didn't come. Jinli's agent Sui Lingfang also came this morning. Her agent is very powerful and must know what you are planning."

Whether young people are courting someone or dating, they don't want to be watched by their elders, and they don't like their elders to get involved. Ren Changtao felt better when he heard him say that.

"What are you going to do for the wrap party? Have you booked a hotel?" he asked.

Deng Zexu shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "These past few days I have been thinking about how to shoot the final climax scene. I have been thinking about it day and night. How can I have time to think about where to hold the wrap party?"

His father is a famous director and he took him to the crew since he was a child. Through his father's influence, Deng Zexu knows that the style of each crew is different.

Some crews are very stereotyped.

Everything must be done according to rules and regulations, and I hate changes the most.

Some crews are very humane.

We will make concessions wherever possible, and the quality of the photos will not be bad, but the scheduled shooting date will often be delayed.

Some crews are a combination of the two. Everyone works with each other in the crew and is as close as brothers outside the drama.

This was Deng Zexu's first time filming a movie. He did not waste his energy on things that were irrelevant to the filming. After filming, he went to look at the pictures and think about how to edit them. He had no time to greet other people.

Therefore, apart from the gathering when Ren Changtao finished filming, and the few times they ate the fish that Jinli gave them as a snack, their crew didn't have any other gatherings.

Ren Changtao: "I have booked the Rongsheng Hotel tonight."

Deng Zexu raised his eyebrows. Needless to say, this must be prepared for Jinli.

He patted Ren Changtao on the shoulder again, "Come on!"

Then he turned around and shouted to the crew members who were busy packing up, "Everyone hurry up and go to Rongsheng Hotel for dinner. Our Master Ren will pay for the drinks tonight!"

The crew immediately whistled, cheered and applauded.

Jinli didn't know that this incident also happened in the crew in the afternoon.

She added all the actors in the crew on WeChat, but no one told her specifically. She only saw one veteran actor posting flowers on his Moments.

Jinli gave a thumbs up and commented: [Uncle Wei is so handsome! ]

Uncle Wei quickly replied: [Haha, it’s from Xiao Ren. You left too soon. He also prepared some for you! We have to attend the wrap-up party later. Do you want to come over?]

Jinli: [I'm already on my way back to the company. I'll definitely come back next time! ]

They still have to take a four-hour drive.

After a while, there was a "ding dong" sound from her cell phone. It was a message from Gu Cheng.

【Are you on vacation? 】

Jinli: [No, I finished filming (grin)]

Gu Cheng: […You finished the filming so quickly. It’s a pity that I can’t make it in time. Otherwise, I would like to attend your wrap-up party.]

Jinli: [-_-|| No need to rush over. Even I didn’t attend. I finished filming in the morning and was taken back to the company by Sister Fang in the afternoon. Director Deng was busy filming and didn’t tell me about the wrap party. I didn’t know they were going to hold it.]

Seeing this, Gu Cheng exited the message box and opened WeChat Moments.

An hour earlier, Ren Changtao posted a message on WeChat Moments:

[Prepared a small gift for her that I like [a big bouquet of roses.jpg]]

Ren Changtao was a newcomer, and their only common friend was Jinli, but Jinli did not reply to this circle of friends.

And Jinli said that she had left a long time ago.

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then took a screenshot of the post and sent it to Jinli.

Gu Cheng: [Who did he give it to? ]

Jinli: [? ? I didn’t see his circle of friends, but I found this [Uncle Wei holding flowers and smiling.jpg]]

A faint smile appeared on Gu Cheng's face.

Gu Cheng: [It seems that he respects this senior very much]

Jinli: [Should be]

Jinli: [By the way, how is the crew of "Assassination"? Are you still staying with the crew to film? ]

Gu Cheng: [Yes, recently the director is shooting supporting roles first, there are many of my personal scenes, so I just happened to shoot them together, don’t worry]

Jinli: [Have you found a replacement actress? ]

Gu Cheng: [Not yet, but the director has been calling since this morning, so he should be able to find her soon.]

Jinli: [Is Brother Guang very angry? (囧)]

Gu Cheng: [He was so angry that he wanted to fire Yan Jianqiao! ]

Jinli laughed, and the picture came to her mind.

When Jinli returned to South City, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

After driving for an entire afternoon, everyone was a little tired. After quickly eating dinner, they went their separate ways to rest.

Sui Lingfang said to Jinli: "Remember to come to the company tomorrow morning. I will have a small meeting with you."

Jinli nodded. This was also a tradition of Chenxi Entertainment.

She left first, and Chen Qin was about to leave, but was stopped by Sui Lingfang: "Xiao Qin, I have something to ask you, is Jinli doing well in the crew?"

She just asked casually to find out about the artist's life in the crew, but she didn't expect Chen Qin to look hesitant.

Hesitation is very telling.

Sui Lingfang's expression became serious: "What happened? Did Jinli tell you not to tell me?"

Chen Qin immediately shook her head: "No, Sister Jinli didn't tell me anything. I didn't know whether to say it or not... It's about Ren Changtao. I think he seems to be pursuing Sister Jinli."

"Ren Changtao?" Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows. The son of actor Ren!

It's a good idea to say it or not.

Chen Qin: "It's him, the one who played the playboy in the script. He was the first to die. He didn't leave the crew after the filming was finished. He always stayed around Sister Jinli and was always bothering me, trying to find out what Sister Jinli liked. I don't like him."

Sui Lingfang asked curiously: "Does Jinli like it?"

Chen Qin shook her head: "I don't know, but I think Sister Jinli should have guessed it a little bit."

"Jinli doesn't have much interaction with him?"

Chen Qin said honestly: "No, I was usually present when he came to see Sister Jinli, and Sister Jinli didn't shy away from talking to him in front of me."

Sui Lingfang understood that Jinli looked down on her.

She couldn't help but smile: "Xiao Qin'er, you can reveal Jinli's preferences appropriately in the future, there is no need to be so cautious, just think of it as letting Jinli make another friend.

What's more, my Jinli's hobbies are innocent, she is just addicted to burning incense and studying, which is not a big deal."

Chen Qin nodded, not quite understanding.

Sui Lingfang let her go with satisfaction. She just didn't want to see some big bad wolf taking away the little white rabbit that she had taken care of so easily.

It's holiday, please give me a monthly ticket~
