Chapter 243 Red Carpet Fight, Love Rival Appears (6K)

Jinli's eyes lit up: "Did Tianding decide to let me perform?"

Sui Lingfang: "In fact, they hoped that the show could be aborted and the losses could be stopped in time, but under the will of Marchday, plus Zhang Guang's mediation, and Chenxi Entertainment's decision to make additional investment, Tianding gave in."

Jinli was surprised. "Additional investment in Chenxi Entertainment? Sister Fang, I've never heard you say that."

Sui Lingfang raised her head, put on a cool face, and said calmly: "You are busy studying every day, so I won't tell you about the trade-offs involved.

Chenxi and Tianding held three meetings during this period, insisting that you be the female lead, and your identity is also suitable.

Seeing that we insisted on filming, Tianding reluctantly agreed to continue, but they still wanted to wait and see if there was a more suitable actress.

Unfortunately, they waited for a week but still got nothing, so they finally had to give in and decide that you would be the female lead.

I won’t tell you about the exchange of interests during this period. You just need to know that Chenxi has secured a great benefit for you.”

Jinli asked: "What benefits?"

Sui Lingfang: “You were originally an investor. Now the crew has made additional investments and the dividend ratio has been redistributed. We have managed to get you to the point where you don’t need to make additional investments, but the dividend ratio remains unchanged.

This means that the additional amount you originally needed has been converted into the additional salary you should receive. In addition, the actual salary you can get is 5 million."

Jinli hummed, "As a leading actress, this pay is a bit low."

Sui Lingfang: "The crew is short of funds and can't withdraw much cash flow, so we used the salary you should have received to offset the dividends."

Jinli nodded: "I understand. If it were me, I would do the same."

Sui Lingfang felt a little relieved. Although she knew that Jinli would most likely agree, she was also worried that she would have objections if she made this decision for Jinli in advance.

Jinli is indeed very reasonable.

She continued, "But this is just basic benefit. The biggest benefit Chenxi has secured for you is not dividends or remuneration, but publicity."

"Promotion?" Chen Qin couldn't help asking, "Aren't they promoting it under the banner of Gu Cheng?"

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "If it was before, yes.

The publicity favors Gu Cheng because he is popular and the show can be sold, but everyone knows that the script favors the female lead, so I asked them to promote it as an equal for the male and female leads and start the publicity together. "

The promotion of film and television dramas is very important.

The direction of the promotion represents the focus of that film or television.

If Gu Cheng is responsible for all the publicity, then even if the drama becomes a big hit, all the benefits will go to Gu Cheng.

Even though everyone knows that this is a female-led drama.

But if the two of them have equal roles, then Jinli can also enjoy the dividends brought by the hit drama, the most direct manifestation of which is the increase in pay.

In addition, the ranking also involves other things, including the interests of the stars. It is not just a matter of face as the outside world thinks.

What Sui Lingfang didn't say was that when Gu Cheng asked Jian Liting to withdraw from the crew permanently and to increase investment, her first reaction was to let Jinli play the role.

Logically speaking, Jinli couldn't get this piece of cake.

This drama is invested by Gu Cheng, Tianding is spending money on publicity, and Marchday will also promote it with the greatest effort. It will definitely be a hit, at least in the early stages.

Although the second take was not smooth, there must be stars in the industry who can recognize the key points.

If Tian Ding continues to film, this drama will have something to offer.

Therefore, Sui Lingfang decisively let Zou Da reveal the news the next day, forcing the crew into an unfavorable position, and then quickly contacted Tianding, under the banner of worrying that the filming would not be successful and decided to join the crew as an emergency.

She originally wanted to wait until the dust had settled before telling Jinli.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Jinli said she would act, which was even better. There was no need to bother convincing her.

The conflict of interests involved is far from as easy as the outside world thinks.

While Jinli was communicating with Sui Lingfang, Marchday also took another car to the awards ceremony.

Brother Guang mentioned the subsequent announcement arrangements to them in the car.

Sanyuetian has no holidays during the Chinese New Year. They have to run around for promotions starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year, and they only have one day off on the first day of the Chinese New Year.

It was only because Zhang Guangda was merciful and let them go, otherwise according to the company's plan, they should have participated in the Spring Festival Gala this year.

They don't even have time to rest on New Year's Day.

It was because Brother Guang took into consideration that he had to attend Yu Linling's event at the end of the year and would not have enough time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, so he declined the offer from the Spring Festival Gala program crew.

Zhang Guang said: "Yu Linling will call me in the next few days to confirm your endorsement status. If you can't get a domestic spokesperson, you can expect even stronger announcements."

Chen Lin complained, "Come on, Brother Guang, I can't even get seven hours of sleep right now, please let us go!"

The other three were very calm, and Chen Lin was the only one performing a solo.

He felt something was wrong, looked around, and asked, "Don't you feel tired?"

Yan Xingdong asked back: "It's just a domestic spokesperson, do you think we can't get it?"

Luo Yi: "For a domestic company like this, the official announcement has already been made long ago. Yu Linling has dragged it out for so long, she must want to give us a big one. We need to hold several meetings and convince more people."

Gu Cheng looked up from the script and said expressionlessly, "Xiao Lin, Brother Guang is teasing you on purpose, and you are the only one who gets fooled every time."

Chen Lin: "...It's obvious that you guys are all very shrewd!"

Zhang Guang continued, "The show 'Assassination' has been delayed for so long, and it has finally been decided. Jinli will take over the show, and work will start on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

Yan Xingdong and others were very surprised. They turned to look at Gu Cheng and found that Gu Cheng also had a look of surprise.

"Jinli?"

Gu Cheng was not as happy as he had imagined. He frowned and asked, "Why didn't you inform me in advance? I didn't know about it before. Did she not go through the audition?"

Zhang Guang thought that given their friendship, Gu Cheng would be very happy that Jinli could take over the show, but now it seems that he is actually somewhat opposed.

Zhang Guang asked, "Are you guys on bad terms? Audition? What's the need for an audition when the crew is already like this? Are you going to believe Yan Jianqiao and wait for his third bankruptcy?"

Gu Cheng said seriously, "That's not the problem. The script of Assassination involves bloody and violent content. High-intensity filming will bring great pressure to people, plus the psychological impact. Jinli is weak, so she shouldn't film this drama."

Gu Cheng paused and turned around to accuse: "Did you put pressure on her?
Brother Guang, even if no actors come, you can't just rely on her investment—"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhang Guang shouted quickly. The more he listened, the more confused he became.

"So what you mean is that Jinli is weak and this drama is not suitable for her... No, Gu Cheng, are you too worried about her?
We didn't find her for this drama. It was her agent who approached us and said Jinli could play the role.

I have to clarify this matter of principle with you. Tian Ding did not force Jin Li to take on this role.

Besides, you invested in "Assassination" because you are optimistic about the future of this drama. Jinli is also very optimistic about it. Why can't she act in it?"

This rhetorical question left Gu Cheng speechless.

Yan Xingdong and others said nothing, picked up the fruits they brought from the car, ate melons and watched the show.

Chen Lin didn't know what he was thinking of, so he took out his cell phone and sent a message quietly.

Chen Lin: [Chengzi doesn't want Jinli to act, what's her mentality?]
Yan Xingdong: [The mentality of an old mother, worried that her daughter is in poor health and cannot accept it]
Luo Yi: [I don’t agree with distorting this feeling into parental love. This is clearly a boyfriend’s worry for his girlfriend!!!]
Those three exclamation marks meant that Luo Yi was sure that Gu Cheng had fallen, and had fallen badly.

Gu Cheng felt a breath stuck in his chest, frowned and sent a text message to Jinli.

He didn't want to question anything, but he sincerely felt that this drama would bring a lot of pressure to Jinli.

If the pressure wasn't great, how could two female leads have problems one after another?

He didn't care if other actors encountered problems while filming this movie.

But if something goes wrong with Jinli, that won't work.

……

The car drove into the underground garage and the stars waited in the lounge first. The organizer specially arranged a shuttle bus and arranged the order for each star's appearance.

Jinli got the order to appear in the middle and back field.

She was the only one from Chenxi Entertainment who got a chance to participate. The company originally wanted to arrange one for He Yixuan, but He Yixuan's crew was still filming and she couldn't spare the time to come.

So only Jinli came to Chenxi Entertainment.

She glanced around the lounge and didn't recognize any of the stars.

I thought it would be boring for an hour, but something went wrong with the star who appeared first, so the stars who came in later had to move forward to make up for it.

Jinli listened to the broadcast and found that she might have to go on stage in half an hour.

The broadcast called out a celebrity, who was sitting in front of Jinli. Hearing this, he stood up and muttered:

"Here we go again. Every time they come early, nothing good happens. Why are those little stars who come out first causing so many problems?

Everyone wanted to come later, arrive later, dizzy, did they really think that coming later would give them a few more seconds of exposure? Believe it or not, all the shots were cut off, it’s a pity that the company specially bought me a midfield seat…”

Jinli's eyes flickered slightly, so that's what was going on.

She had heard in the past that some big-name stars would deliberately arrive late just to be the last to appear on stage.

Has this trend now spread to young celebrities?

Big-name stars usually appear in the midfield or backcourt. Small stars don’t dare to rush to appear at the back, but they can still rush to the midfield.

But this time the competition was fiercer. After the little star in front of her left, the radio called a few more stars, but no one came, so the order had to continue to pass.

In less than half an hour, it was Jinli's turn.

The sooner you come out, the more relaxed you will be. You may see acquaintances in the on-site ranking and chat with them. Jinli did not want to postpone her appearance and walked out immediately.

There was a person in charge at the exit who was making arrangements and shouting into the headset, "The next one to appear is Jinli. What, postponed? They want to postpone it?

Why postpone it, brother? There are all first-line stars behind her. If she postpones, others will definitely want to postpone as well.

I understand. No matter what happens to others, Jinli must be postponed, right? Then I will shout now—"

The person in charge was holding the intercom, and suddenly a person appeared in front of him. Jinli said, "No need to delay, I'll come out now."

She said decisively: "If I delay, the next line will definitely not come out. Someone has to close the shop. I'll do it!"

The person in charge was shocked by her vigorous and decisive momentum and immediately said, "Okay, you can go out. The car outside is arranged for you."

Jinli walked out, and a luxury car was in the front. Someone got out and opened the seat for her.

When Jinli went out, Sanyuetian and others had just arrived at the lounge and were stunned when they heard the broadcast. Chen Lin asked, "Sister Jinli is going out so early?"

Yan Xingdong frowned: "There is something wrong with the organizer's ranking. We have never heard of the star who follows Jinli."

Gu Cheng: "Obviously there was a mistake at work."

Luo Yi thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, Sister Jinli probably won't care."

If their own agents knew about this, they would definitely scold the organizer and would also call Zhang Guang to ask him to resolve the issue.

However, regarding this matter, Sister Jinli probably won’t call her agent, but it’s not certain whether Sui Lingfang will let it go.
-
The press areas on both sides of the red carpet were playing with their cameras out of boredom.

“When will it be the turn of the A-list stars to appear?”

"It's only four o'clock now, it's not that fast. We have to wait until five o'clock to get a first line. The live streaming traffic on the Internet is not that large."

"Why do I feel like the stars are coming slower and slower? Many young stars can walk a few minutes longer."

"Ha, could it be that there aren't many people left behind? There are very few young stars who got the off-field spots this year?" a reporter joked.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the voice of Jinli's arrival came from the live broadcast.

The reporters on both sides immediately widened their eyes. "Fuck, they are here at 4 o'clock. How do the organizers do things? Some colleagues haven't come yet!"

"No matter what they think, let's take pictures quickly and take as many as possible!"

Some reporters thought of something and quickly took out their phones to make a call, calling their colleagues over, while others reported directly to the editor-in-chief, reporting that Jinli would walk the red carpet ahead of schedule.

When the editor-in-chief learned the news, many ridiculous speculations immediately emerged in his mind, which could all be published as breaking news.

Jinli had just gotten off the car when several media outlets on the Internet released the news.

[Jinli walked the red carpet early, suspected to be targeted by the organizer! ]

[The organizer makes things difficult for Jinli! ]

[Big shock! Jinli became an outcast at the awards ceremony and was arranged to walk the red carpet with 18th-tier stars! ]

Because it was forwarded by a well-known celebrity, it quickly spread on the Internet.

Before Sui Lingfang received the message, Zou Da saw it and called her immediately.

"Did you know about Jinli's early red carpet walk?"

Sui Lingfang was stunned: "What, walking the red carpet in advance?"

Zou Da: "I sent you the link, take a look."

Sui Lingfang quickly browsed through it, her face darkening, "I'll communicate with the organizer immediately."

Zou Da: "Can Jinli remove the red carpet?"

Sui Lingfang sneered: "Why withdraw after showing up? Just publicize it according to the media's speculation. Why should Jinli be held responsible for the consequences of improper internal personnel management?
These organizers are just looking down on people and deliberately let Jinli go with an eighteen-tier star!"

It doesn’t matter what weird things those little stars do.

But Jinli is a first-tier star, and first-tier stars have their own reputation and status.

If there is no difference between the first-tier and the eighteenth-tier, then why are people rushing to the first-tier cities?

This difference is not just in the pay, the treatment received is overwhelming in all aspects.

Sui Lingfang thought about it for a while, and simply went with the flow, creating a hot search for "Jinli was suppressed"!

The scene of the award ceremony.

Jinli appeared on the red carpet wearing Fangfei's cheongsam. As soon as she stepped on the red carpet, reporters on both sides roared desperately.

"look here!!"

"Look at me, Jinli!"

"Girl Jinli, smile!"

"Jinli God of Wealth is the most generous!"

"How many test papers did Jinli girl finish today?"

In order to make Jinli laugh and make her facial expressions more vivid, the reporter said all kinds of outrageous things.

Jinli had been maintaining her "noble and cool" demeanor, but she couldn't help but break down when she heard the words, her eyebrows curved as she tried to hold back a smile.

The moment the smile appeared, the flash of the camera almost created a sea of ​​light.

The netizens who rushed to the live broadcast room following the trending search heard the reporter's wild words and couldn't help but get angry.

[How dare you! How dare you call a female goose? That's obviously my cub!]
[The only thing I agree with is that the girl did a few test papers]
[Hahaha, Jinli actually counted - 2. She was so busy today, but she actually did two test papers? ? ]
[Strictly speaking, it’s two and a half. I watched her do it in person in the live studio. She was halfway through the third one when her agent asked her to get her hair done. Oh, by the way, she started the live broadcast at 6 o’clock this morning (smile)]
[The terrible scroll king...]
Because the reporters were so enthusiastic, Jinli stayed on the red carpet for at least ten minutes. The host watched her from the end with a smile and didn't rush her.

But Jinli felt a little embarrassed, and left the red carpet and signed her name despite the reporters' requests.

The host's interview was very calm, without any controversial questions. He must have been warned to go easy on the host.

Jinli sat in her exclusive seat under the guidance of the commissioner. The commissioner attentively handed her various fruit plates and asked her if she wanted to have a box lunch.

Don't mention it, Jinli was really a little hungry, so she nodded and said okay.

The commissioner was slightly stunned, feeling that Jinli was very different from other stars, not caring about her image at all, and few stars chose to eat boxed lunches at award ceremonies.

Even at this point, the camera rarely focuses on the backstage, but even the 18th-tier celebrities don't eat it.

It gives people a very friendly and down-to-earth feeling.

The commissioner said, "I'll arrange it now, just wait a moment."

Jinli nodded again, "Thank you."

After the commissioner left, she picked up the fruit plate and ate a little. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, "Jinli."

Jinli turned her head and saw Ren Changtao's cynical playboy face appear in front of her.

Jinli was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Long time no see, you are here too."

Ren Changtao explained, "I'm not eligible to come. I bought a sponsorship quota to get in. Long time no see. How have you been lately?"

He didn't say that even if you buy a sponsorship spot, you will be assigned a seat at the back.

He was in this position now because he deliberately revealed his identity and greeted the organizer, who arranged it for him.

What he wanted was not the seat of a first-line star, but the seat behind a first-line star, and he specifically asked to sit behind Jinli.

The organizer didn't know he had acted in a play and just thought he was there to chase stars, so they gave him the money readily.

Jinli replied: "I've been doing pretty well recently, how about you?"

Ren Changtao sighed, "I'm not doing well. My old man heard that I was filming and wanted to arrange for me to enter the entertainment industry, but he and I don't get along, so I want to join another company."

He changed the subject, "By the way, Jinli, is your company still recruiting celebrities? Are the standards high? Can I get in?"

Jinli asked in surprise: "Do you want to come to Chenxi?"

Ren Changtao nodded: "I have met you a lot in the crew, and I feel that your company is very good. Other companies have very strict restrictions on celebrities."

Jinli said honestly: "That's because my company needs me, and I'm not a newcomer, so I have a certain degree of choice. Judging from the capabilities of companies in the industry, Chenxi Entertainment is not short of money, but it lacks connections."

Ren Changtao smiled and said calmly: "What I lack the most is connections."

Jinli thought about it and realized that it was true.

With a father who is a movie star paving the way for him, Ren Changtao has everything he needs and will be well treated no matter which company he goes to.

I heard from Deng Zexu before that Ren Changtao's father did not think highly of him and suppressed his son's interest, so Ren Changtao agreed to let him perform in order to save face.

Now it seems that the problem has been solved.

"How about this, I'll tell my agent about it when I get back and ask her to contact you."

Ren Changtao immediately agreed, and then asked Jinli some questions related to Chenxi Entertainment. It was not until the lunch box arrived that Jinli stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

There was one more A-lister in the venue, and because those walking the red carpet were all small stars, the camera would scan the venue from time to time at the request of netizens.

Jinli and Ren Changtao's "enthusiastic communication" was also seen by netizens.

[Who is that star? He looks good!]
[Seems to be very close to Jinli]
[Three seconds, I want this star's information!]
[I asked the AI, and it told me there is no celebrity with the same appearance???]
[Could it be that he is an amateur who was lucky enough to be selected to go to the backstage?]
[Wait, can an amateur actually win the inner field ticket? Aren’t all the tickets released outside the field?]
Gu Cheng was doing the questions while occasionally glancing at the live broadcast. When he saw the interaction between Jinli and Ren Changtao, his eyes darkened.

While playing games, Chen Lin occasionally scanned the live broadcast on Gu Cheng's phone and saw this person. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"

Gu Cheng said calmly: "An 18th-tier actress who has filmed in the same crew as Jinli."

Chen Lin teased, "Brother Gu, how can someone who can sit in this position be an 18th-tier person? Even if you don't like someone, you can't belittle them like this."

Gu Cheng then added: "He is just a second-generation rich kid who relies on his father."

Chen Lin's eyes turned, and he pulled Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi over to join him in enjoying the show.

In the end, it was Yan Xingdong who was very resourceful. He took a photo and sent it to Zhang Guang, and only then did he get the answer.

"Actor Ren's precious son who has been hiding for more than 20 years!"

Chen Lin was speechless for a long while, then said sincerely: "Captain, please focus on the key points next time, thank you."

Yan Xingdong said indifferently: "Mature team members will extract it themselves."

Chen Lin couldn't tell whether this was saying that he was childish or stupid.

But Chen Lin has a very good mentality. He doesn't care about the rude words spoken to him by that kid named Yan. As long as he adjusts his mentality, everyone has to call him dad.

Chen Lin asked again: "So what does he want from Jinli? Are they really good friends? With this background, he doesn't need to get close to a celebrity, right?"

Yan Xingdong: "I can actually give an answer to this. Brother Guang said that this person is looking for an entertainment company. He received the news in advance and plans to contact him in the next few days.

With a movie star dad and a business tycoon mom, he definitely has a bright future as a star."

Chen Lin deliberately glanced at Gu Cheng, sighed and said, "This competitor is very important!"

Luo Yi: "If I can join Chenxi Entertainment, I will be in a great position."

Yan Xingdong: "... Take it easy, don't you see someone is on the verge of going berserk?"
