I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 311 Kindness and Character

But the results on the first day were not amazing.

"And Then There Were None" was launched on the Kiwi platform on a Thursday. By Friday, a large number of students had gone home for the holiday and joined the recharge army, allowing the platform to add another 500 million members.

Then came the entire weekend, and the results achieved over the weekend were also very gratifying. The platform has maintained a relatively high growth rate of new members.

When And Then There Were None became a big hit on the online platform, it also fed back some of the popularity to Jinli's currently airing Dream Builders.

[I went to watch And Then There Were None on purpose. I heard from netizens that Jinli’s performance in The Dreamers was not bad either, so I came to watch it on purpose. The result was really good! ]

[I was attracted by Jinli's performance in And Then There Were None, and I bought the movie Dream Builder to support her. I didn't like this kind of theme at first, thinking it was too fake, but after watching it, I was moved to tears...]

[Coming from And Then There Were None. When this movie was first released in theaters, I complained that it was advertised too frequently and half of the good reviews were definitely exaggerated.

But after it was launched on the video platform, I became a member and watched it. Then I felt that the high ratings and good reviews were reasonable.

I can’t buy the movie ticket for And Then There Were None, but I can buy the movie ticket for Dream Builders. I came here to watch it and found that it is also a good movie! 】

[I have to say, Jinli has a good eye for movies! ]

[I feel that Jinli's acting is so great, I don't feel out of place at all! ]

Director Zhong specially called Jinli during lunch break and showed her the recent movie review of "Dream Builders". He sighed:

“It seems that I benefited from the success of And Then There Were None, but in the final analysis, it was all because of you. You have a very good reputation among the audience and are well-liked by the public.

Fans from And Then There Were None have given positive reviews to The Dream Builders, which has also boosted the ratings of The Dream Builders on the movie website!"

Jinli smiled slightly, without being modest.

Sister Fang called her yesterday and told her that many people chose to watch "Dream Builders" after watching "And Then There Were None".

Sister Fang specifically told her: "Fortunately, these two films were released one after the other during the summer vacation, and they were not released together. Otherwise, the fans would fight, and it would be difficult for you to promote them."

Now, August is already halfway over, and those netizens who were not optimistic about "Dream Builders" at the beginning are being slapped in the face by the box office of "Dream Builders" every day.

From the first day it was released, this film topped the daily box office charts and has never fallen down since then.

Every day, be a champion!

Originally, the box office of "Dream Builders" had fallen back to more than 30 million, but benefiting from the traffic brought by "And Then There Were None", yesterday's daily box office record returned to its peak of 60 million!

None of the films released in the summer season in August could beat "Dream Builders", and as for films that were on par with it, there was none.

It can be said that "Dream Builders" alone dominates the entire August summer season.

But Jinli would not think that the box office recovery of "Dream Builder" was entirely due to her own reasons.

The reason why the audience likes her is because she acts well and chooses good scripts.

If the director of And Then There Were None was bad, the script was bad, and the production team was not strong, she would not have received so much support from netizens.

An actor's greatest charm, that is, influence, cannot be achieved by one person alone.

A good team, a good script, good supporting roles, good production... Only when every link is done well can an actor reach the pinnacle.

So even though Jinli knew that "Dream Builder" was the daily box office champion, she remained calm and didn't feel proud.

She did not make this drama successful by herself, but the drama and she made each other successful, which led to its current popularity.

Jinli looked at Director Zhong and said, "It's not just And Then There Were None that has driven the demand. We have been carrying out a 'Drama Roadshow Promotion' these past few days. Netizens have been very receptive to it and it's very popular online. This has definitely boosted the box office of Dream Builders."

Director Zhong shook his head and said, "There are only a few people in front of us during a drama road show. It can't create such an influence on the Internet. You are definitely a major contributor to the box office. This is undeniable."

Without waiting for Jinli to speak, he continued with a smile: "When the box office of "Dream Builder" reaches 15 billion, I will hold a celebration banquet and definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Jinli raised her eyebrows and said cheerfully, "Then I will accept it without hesitation!"
-
While Jinli was chatting with Director Zhong, the young actor finished his lunch break and came to the rehearsal room.

The drama roadshow arranged by Director Zhong was not very onerous, with only two performances a day.

One in the afternoon and one in the evening.

However, due to venue limitations and the large number of onlookers, it was not convenient for them to rehearse on site, so each warm-up rehearsal was conducted in the hotel's own dance studio.

It is also because of this that the crew did not frequently change locations for the "drama roadshow" promotion, unlike flash mob promotions, where they traveled to different cities every day.

Instead, he settled down in one city, and even the location has basically not changed.

At the beginning, when there were two drama performances a day, some actors felt stressed and sometimes broke down and cried.

But as they gradually adapted, the actors felt that this intensity was okay.

After all, the drama is not very long!

But since they have to perform every day, some actors may feel restless and want to take a break, go out and have some fun, or take on other announcements.

The latter is the most important.

One of the actors looked up and saw that the heroine Jinli was not there, so he started discussing in a low voice with other actors.

"How's it going? Did you get your leave?"

The other actors shook their heads and said, "No, I didn't dare to tell Director Zhong, for fear that he would tell me not to come."

The actor who started the conversation also sighed: "I don't dare to tell Director Zhong, but my agent keeps urging me, I don't know what to do."

Due to the huge box office success of "Dream Builders", the value of all the actors in this film has skyrocketed.

A large number of invitations are sent to the actors' companies. The companies want to make money and are eager to take all the invitations.

But actors are human beings after all, not machines, and there are only so many announcements they can run in a day.

The company can only carefully select and announce those with good quality and high unit price.

However, just when the company had almost signed the announcement for them, they encountered a very big problem. That was that Director Zhong refused to let them go to run the announcement.

Because they have to participate in roadshows every day, they cannot squeeze out time to run a complete announcement, and if they want to run, they can only take leave.

But if one person is missing from a drama performance, it may lack a sense of completeness.

Moreover, there is no other actor who can replace the roles they play, which creates a vicious circle.

This results in the fact that the higher the box office of "Dream Builders" is, the more popular they are, but the less they benefit from the film.

This is not the way to go.

By the time the films are removed from cinemas, their popularity will probably have died down!

"No, I have to tell Director Zhong. My agent has been pushing me. I told her that the director refused to let me go, but she didn't believe me. She's getting upset with me! I can't possibly offend my agent because of Director Zhong. I have to make a living, too. If this is the only movie I can be famous for, this period of time is when I can make the most money. I can't miss it!"

An actress said through gritted teeth.

The other actors looked at her with a thoughtful look on their faces.

Only Xu Wenwen heard this and said sarcastically, "Don't make it sound like Director Zhong wants you to sacrifice your interests and forces you to do this.

During the flash mob promotion, Director Zhong asked if you could continue with the drama roadshow, and if you had any difficulties, just speak up.

It was you all who were dazzled by the high box office at the time, and agreed without hesitation to continue participating in the promotional activities.

You are the ones who promised to stick to it, and now you are the ones who want to regret it. You have taken advantage of everything!"

A young actor said, "Sister Wen, this is a different time.

At the time we told the news to the company, and they were very happy and let us continue to follow the crew to promote the show, but now the company wants us to go out and make money, which we don’t want to do either.”

"Yeah, it's rare that the film is so popular, but as actors we can't go out for announcements. We've already finished filming, so why are we being controlled more strictly than when we were filming?"

Xu Wenwen said coldly: "Your notice is important, but my notice is not important, and Jinli's is not important?

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

She is more famous than any of us here, but since she has already promised Director Zhong and has turned down many announcements, don't blame everything on the company. If you are really scared, let your agent talk to Director Zhong.

If you clearly want to run the announcement, don't put it down to other reasons, it'll seem artificial and cheap!"

"But Sister Wen, not everyone works for a company like yours and Jinli's. Our company doesn't give us the right to choose at all. This is the only opportunity we can seize!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Jinli walked in with an indifferent look, and no one knew how long she had been listening outside.

She walked in front of everyone and said thoughtfully, "Those who want to go to the announcement, come and sign here. I will talk to Director Zhong on your behalf to see if the frequency of the drama can be reduced to give you some time to go to the announcement."

Everyone looked at Jinli in shock. They didn't expect that Jinli would be willing to communicate for them.

They thought that these big stars only needed to take care of themselves and didn't care about the lives of the young actors at all.

And in the final analysis, they did breach the contract after all, but... there was really nothing they could do, this was most likely the only opportunity in their life!
Everyone lowered their heads in shame, regretting what they had said badly about Jinli before!
Xu Wenwen opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Jinli's eyes.

Jinli shook her head gently at her.

Almost all the actors came over to sign, only two very young actors stayed. These two actors played nurses in the crew.

Jinli asked them: "Your agency doesn't allow you to run announcements?"

The two young actors said embarrassedly: "We haven't signed with any company, no one wants us.

After Dream Builders became popular, some third- and fourth-tier small companies contacted us, but we all felt that it was not a good idea and did not sign. "

One of them said: "I applied to a big company based on my performance in Dream Builders, but they said that I was able to find this play more because of luck rather than good acting skills, so I still didn't accept it."

Jinli thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You can come with me to the next drama road show. I'll see if I can get the director to adjust your roles and try to get you paid."

One actor bravely asked, "Sister Jinli, are you going to run along the whole time and not go to the announcements? Will this have an impact on you?"

Jinli smiled slightly: "No, don't worry about me, don't worry."

After Jinli walked out the door, Xu Wenwen followed her out, and everyone else couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect Jinli to be so nice. I thought she was aloof and I was afraid that the little actor would get involved with her!"

"Yeah, but if you think about it carefully, we imagined her to be too much of a big star. After promoting together for so long, Jinli has never acted like a big star."

"I think Xu Wenwen's temper is worse than hers!"

In the corridor outside, Xu Wenwen chased Jinli and called her.

Jinli stopped walking, Xu Wenwen frowned and ran over, asking: "Do you really want to communicate with Director Zhong? You shouldn't have taken this matter on! It's obviously their fault, they went back on their word!"

Jinli asked her back: "Do you know how many students study acting every year? And how many of them can enter the entertainment industry?
After entering the entertainment industry, how many people can make movies?

After making a movie, how many people's movies can achieve the box office like "Dream Builder"? "

Xu Wenwen's face looked heavy.

Jinli said: "They are right, it is indeed one in a million that they can get such an opportunity.

I have seen a piece of data before. Just last year, the total number of performing artists in China's entertainment industry, including actors, singers, internet celebrities, and directors, was close to 240 million.

Hundreds of thousands of new people enter the entertainment industry every year, but how many of them can appear in front of the public and stay? "

Jinli sighed: "Sister Wen, I won't think that everyone can be like me because of my experience.

Even the rise of the Pink Girls back then was largely due to luck. It wasn’t easy for them.”

She patted Xu Wenwen on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy for you either. Don't be too hard on yourself and be more tolerant of yourself."

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Jinli smiled and said, "And I think, even without you, I can still hold on to this drama.

Don’t netizens say that I am the soul of the drama? As long as I don’t leave, the drama can continue to be performed, and netizens will agree with that.”

Xu Wenwen's voice was a little difficult: "But you have sacrificed your own interests to help us, otherwise you should just stop acting——"

Jinli interrupted, "No, I'm fine."

She said casually, "Originally I didn't plan to run announcements during this period, but wanted to devote myself to the promotion, so I didn't make any sacrifices, I just made it happen, don't make me sound so great."

Jinli turned her back to Xu Wenwen and walked towards Director Zhong's room.

But in Xu Wenwen's eyes, the figure was extremely majestic.

She thought that she might never be able to be like Jinli in her life.

Some people are kind only on the surface and only talk but do nothing.

Some people never claim to be kind, but everything they do shows their concern and support for those working in the performing arts industry.

When writing, I actually wanted to arrange a more straightforward face-slapping scene for Jinli. For example, without these actors, she could hold the whole scene by herself and make these newcomers regret it...

But in the process of writing, Jinli's kind nature repeatedly corrected my thoughts, and finally presented the picture of Jinli "petitioning for the people". Some readers may feel uncomfortable, but from Jinli's character, this is what she would do.

This chapter is not about right or wrong, but more about dilemmas. The dilemmas of new actors have been clearly written.

As for Xu Wenwen, her interests must have been damaged by the publicity. This was the best film she had ever made, but she gritted her teeth and persevered because she had agreed to it before. Her company is only a third-tier company, and she faces a lot of pressure.

What I want to express is that people like this who are strict with themselves cannot tolerate any flaws and are also very harsh on themselves. They live under high pressure every day. I hope that people like this can be more tolerant of themselves.
