I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 222 The Birth of the Liver Emperor, Second Trial (asking for monthly tickets)

However, matters like the broadcast of TV shows and movies are completely influenced by the producers, and it is not up to the actors to decide.

Of course, actors also want to be broadcast one after another, and it would be best if they were exposed all year round, but the reality is that it is difficult for things to happen as expected.

After Sui Lingfang finished talking about "Dream Builders", she mentioned "And Then There Were None".

"I talked to Deng Zexu and he said that he has already started editing and plans to personally supervise the film. I guess this film may be released faster than The Dream Builder."

Jinli was a little surprised, but not very surprised.

Affected by the efficiency of editing, the subjective factors of the director's will, and some objective factors that cannot be controlled by human intervention, such as policy changes, it is very likely that the first film will not be released yet, but the later film will have already been released.

Film and television dramas often have a characteristic.

Dramas that are filmed and broadcast immediately can be released quickly. On the contrary, dramas that have to be revised several times after filming and during which many policy changes occur are difficult to be released.

This is also a kind of curse.

Sui Lingfang asked about her plans: "It's already January, and the Chinese New Year will be on February 2rd. What announcements do you want to take?"

Jinli asked: "What does Sister Fang think?"

Sui Lingfang said with great joy: "It's impossible for you to film a movie, unless you play a supporting role, but playing a supporting role will consume too much of your current popularity. My suggestion is to participate in a few variety shows. You don't need so many, just one or two will be enough."

Jinli thought about it and realized that no matter how relaxing the variety show was, she still had to face the camera.

Some actors feel that there is no difference between variety shows and acting, and they have to follow the predetermined script.

With her physical condition, she cannot participate in high-intensity competitive games, so she can only go for knowledge-based or relaxed and casual styles.

As for knowledge-based variety shows, her diploma is a flaw, so let's just forget about it.

If you want to relax and unwind, "Leisure and Slow Life" is enough for you.

Jinli said: "The inventory of "Leisurely Slow Life" that I filmed before has been broadcast, and I will definitely have to reshoot it in January. I will not participate in other variety shows, and I will just take on some endorsement activities."

She has been filming "Slow Life" all the time. Even when she was filming "And Then There Were None", she would take time out every month to shoot for two days.

From the current perspective, this variety show has not lost much traffic after being changed from weekend to monthly broadcast, and it has already shown signs of becoming an evergreen program.

When Sui Lingfang heard her say this, she felt sorry but also understood.

At least Jinli is still willing to participate in the endorsement activities, and blogs and other social platforms can update a group of beautiful photos of Jinli.

"Okay, I'll talk to 'Leisure and Slow Life'. You should take a good rest during this period of time."

Sui Lingfang paused and said earnestly: "Jinli, you have to learn this thing step by step, don't be too anxious."

I have to say, Jinli's hard work in the crew and studying abroad was a bit scary to her.

Hurry up and get up early!

Even she, a worker, felt it was a nightmare!

Jinli smiled lightly, revealing two dimples on her cheeks, looking soft and harmless.

She said, "Sister Fang, I'm not in a hurry. I will follow the steps that my body can accept."

After the meeting with Sui Lingfang, Jinli returned to the apartment. On the way back, she received a message from Ji Qinglian, and her expression paused.

She thought about it and sent a message back.

The crew of "Assassination", afternoon.

Qiu Qiwen and other first- and second-tier stars have entered the shooting location, which is the school, where they will audition.

Not only that, they will also act opposite Gu Cheng in person, as the director wants to see the level of chemistry between the male and female leads.

Gu Cheng personally auditioned, this was quite a big deal.

The little celebrities who came for the interview in the morning did not receive such treatment.

"Gu Cheng, how do you feel? Are you okay?" Zhang Guang came to Gu Cheng in advance and asked about his condition.

Gu Cheng nodded, "It's OK. I filmed this scene this morning. It's not difficult for me."

This time he accompanied the audition on short notice by Director Yan without any prior communication.

But Gu Cheng knew that this was Yan Jianqiao's style, so he didn't say anything in the end. If he could help in any way, he also hoped to help the director choose the heroine as soon as possible.

Just don't let him decide.

Zhang Guang felt relieved when he saw that he looked fine. Gu Cheng had to film during the day and attend March Day's high-intensity announcements at night. He was the one who suffered the most among all the members.

So he paid more attention to him during this period.

Gu Cheng said to him in return: "Actually, you don't have to stay with me all the time. You can go take care of other artists. The crew is here and won't leave. The staff all respect me, and Xiao Tong also takes good care of me."

Zhang Guang snorted coldly, "You are so easy to worry about. I didn't come here to keep an eye on you. I came here to keep an eye on the other one."

Gu Cheng stopped talking.

Yan Jianqiao's shooting style is indeed very different from that of Tianding Entertainment.

Another half hour later, the audition began.

The first person to come on stage was a second-tier female star who had recently starred in a very popular ancient costume drama and was very famous in the circle.

Gu Cheng quickly got into the role, transformed into a torturer, and cooperated with other actors. In the meantime, the heroine, as the new clown in the clown game, witnessed how Gu Xiude abused others and trembled in fear when listening to the screams.

In this scene, the heroine shows fear and panic, and at the same time paves the way for her subsequent fearful begging for mercy. The overall emotional atmosphere is one of panic, fear, and depression.

Men have some violent genes in their bones, so it is not difficult for them to show violence.

This scene seems to be a picture of equal strength, but the "evil" of the male protagonist is more dependent on the "fear" of the female protagonist.

If the heroine's performance couldn't keep up, the hero's evil would seem less terrifying.

Yan Jianqiao put the audition in this scene to really test the female star's acting skills.

When the second-tier actress heard other people's screams, she couldn't stop shaking, covered her head, and tried desperately to hide in the corner. She didn't even look at Gu Cheng the whole time.

Yan Jianqiao had a blank expression on his face, and deep down he was not satisfied with the actress's performance.

This was not the scene he had imagined.

In his imagination, the heroine can be very scared, but in her fear she also wants to see the hero committing violence, so that she can be led to beg for mercy later because of being too frightened.

Then it's the second actor's turn, the third actor's turn...

Finally, it was Qiu Qiwen's turn to audition.

She is the second to last cast member.

She took a deep breath and came to the designated location, and the moment the shooting started, her expression changed.

Ever since she knew that the grown-up heroine would be played by Jane Li Ting, Qiu Qiwen felt that she had no chance to play the heroine in her youth.

But Gu Cheng is so popular, and this drama is invested by Tianding Entertainment, so it is bound to be a real hit. So Qiu Qiwen thought about it and decided to take part in the audition and fight for a chance.

In a panic, she cried and covered her eyes with her hands, quietly opening the gap between her fingers, and using that tiny gap, like a glimmer of light in the darkness, she watched the male protagonist committing violence.

Gradually, the light in those eyes became dimmer and dimmer, leaving only tears of fear, like a dam bursting in despair!

Director Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and some crew members nodded.

The live performance was amazing. After Qiu Qiwen finished her performance, it was the last one, Xu Wenwen, to perform.

Qiu Qiwen passed by her, and the two of them never looked at each other from beginning to end, as if they were just strangers.

Xu Wenwen stood in the designated place, and to everyone's surprise, she posed in a tied-up position!
Yan Jianqiao couldn't help but straighten his body, and in the camera, Xu Wenwen took out a big white flour bun from her arms and stuffed it directly into her mouth, using it as a substitute for blockage.

Her body was tied up and her mouth was stuffed. She shook her head in fear and made a choking whimpering sound like a small animal.

It was as if someone was forcing her to watch this scene.

The moment she heard the scream, tears started to flow from her eyes. Her body kept shaking. She wanted to retreat, but was tied up tightly.

Unable to break free, one can only accept the predetermined fate.

The clown chosen for the clown game will be the one to be abused next time she stands on the podium!

Everyone who heard Xu Wenwen's sobs could not help but feel the same way, and some people even turned their heads away because they couldn't stand it.

This actor's appeal is even stronger, as if she is really facing a scene of violence. Her current situation is very helpless, which makes people feel pity for her future fate.

Qiu Qiwen watched Xu Wenwen's performance silently, and turned around and left the crew before her performance was over.

No need to look at the results later.

She thought she couldn't compete with Xu Wenwen.

But in fact, this does not mean that Qiu Qiwen cannot perform better than Xu Wenwen. After all, in the crew, filming is not just the decision of the actors.

If other leading actors, directors, or screenwriters have better ideas, they will be proposed for adjustment.

Just because Xu Wenwen could think of this way of expression doesn’t mean that others couldn’t think of it, so when the day of on-site shooting really came, all the scenes that were decided were the best of the best.

But no matter what, as an actor's ability to respond to emergencies, Qiu Qiwen admits that she is not as good as Xu Wenwen.

When Xu Wenwen finished her performance, there was applause from the audience, which was a treatment that no other actor had received.

Yan Jianqiao thought for a while and suddenly said, "Shoot one more scene."

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never heard that they had to shoot two more scenes. Was this something the director added at the last minute?
Xu Wenwen quickly responded by asking, "What play?"

Yan Jianqiao said: "After the heroine grows up, she returns to school to take revenge. She transforms from a victim of violence to a debt-collecting devil, and she uses violence against those who commit violence on campus, tit for tat."

Since Xu Wenwen had not seen the subsequent scenes, he added: "You can regard yourself as a messenger of justice."

Xu Wenwen: "Be your own judge?"

Yan Jianqiao: “That’s about it.”

Xu Wenwen: "Give me five minutes."

"Okay!" Yan Jianqiao said quickly.

Zhang Guang stood up and walked out. The following performance was meaningless and he felt that he did not need to watch it.

Gu Cheng took advantage of the break to come out for some fresh air. When he saw Brother Guang coming outside, his face immediately darkened and he couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Guang heard the laughter and glared at him. "He wants to kick out the adult female lead we chose, and you're still laughing. Is this the director you chose?"

Gu Cheng's smile remained unchanged as he said lazily, "Brother Guang, this is also the investment you chose. You were also optimistic about him at the beginning."

Zhang Guang said depressedly: "How could I know that he would shoot movies in this style!"

Gu Cheng said: "Don't worry, maybe it's not what you think. The contract has been signed, and Director Yan may not dare to break it."

Zhang Guang chuckled, "How do you know he doesn't dare? He dared to hide it from us at the beginning and immediately decided on the heroine in his youth."

Gu Cheng: "You didn't sign a contract at the time, so he took advantage of this loophole.

The actress he found was indeed talented, but she was too new and didn't know how to cherish opportunities. You can't talk to people about hard work and perseverance at a dreaming age. Everyone needs a process of adaptation."

He changed the subject and said, "Director Yan has learned his lesson this time, and he will be more cautious next time. If he really didn't take you seriously, he wouldn't have deleted and revised the script again and again because of the company's request."

There was a thoughtful look in Zhang Guang's eyes.

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Let's go back and take a look, so that the director won't think too much. I still hope he can film well."

Every director has a different filming style. If you follow the director's ideas, you can make the drama a success.

So signing actresses without their consent is still tolerable.

At least for now, didn’t Yan Jianqiao say that he would replace the adult heroine who had already signed the contract?
Zhang Guang and Gu Cheng returned together and watched Xu Wenwen's second performance.

Then the interview ended.

The second performance was a scene in which Xu Wenwen played the adult female lead and confronted a violent student. In this scene, she was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, completely different from her cowardly and trembling self in the past.

It is hard to imagine what kind of things could have happened to cause a person's personality to change so drastically.

This scene was not one that resonated deeply with emotions, so the other staff members did not applaud and they immediately dispersed after the performance.

Seeing that the director didn't say anything, Xu Wenwen quickly left the crew.

I was told before the interview that the notification would be issued in two or three days.

Gu Cheng and Zhang Guang were also preparing to leave.

Yan Jianqiao suddenly called Gu Cheng: "Chengzi, wait a moment, I want to talk to you about something."

Zhang Guang said: "I'm waiting for you in the car now."

During this period, he didn't even look at Yan Jianqiao.

Gu Cheng came to Director Yan and asked, "What's the matter, Director?"

Yan Jianqiao asked him to watch Xu Wenwen's performance on camera, replayed both performances, and asked, "What do you think of her acting skills?"

Gu Cheng said: "It's better than the first one you picked."

Yan Jianqiao's face darkened: "Can you please stop mentioning Li Xiu'e?"

Gu Cheng glanced at him and said, "You still care too much about her. Look at it more openly. The more you care about her, the less you want people to mention her."

Yan Jianqiao: "...I don't care, I'm just depressed!" He paused and asked, "Do you think this person can play two roles and also play the adult female lead?"

Gu Cheng shook his head: "Director Yan, this is up to you. I won't give any opinions. I'm just an actor."

Yan Jianqiao said vaguely: "The contract..."

Gu Cheng: "I don't have the right to communicate either. If you have any opinions, talk to my agent directly. Only if you convince him, you can convince Tianding Entertainment."

Yan Jianqiao seemed to be deflated and immediately wilted: "It's okay, I'll think about it..."

Ji Qinglian had just arrived in a teahouse somewhere in East City, where her agent Zhang Ziqiang had already arrived.

Ji Qinglian's phone vibrated, and when she looked down, she found that it was a text message from Jinli.

Before she came again, she told Jinli about her plan to change entertainment companies and asked for Jinli's opinion.

Jinli: [I have no objection, you don't have to worry about my feelings, just do whatever you want]
Ji Qinglian felt relieved. Her words were enough.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival (*^▽^*)
