Chapter 712

A beautiful and fashionable magazine cover, combined with excellent marketing, the October issue of *Nianhua* exploded, which became an inevitability.

This publication is very beautiful, Jin Li obviously likes it more, and specifically took photos and sent them to Gu Cheng to see.

Gu Cheng: [Like the October issue of *Nianhua*?]

Jin Li: [Like~]

Gu Cheng: [Do you prefer taking ancient style photos?]

Jin Li: [Should be, but changing into ancient style is very troublesome.]

Gu Cheng: [Find a time, let's go take ancient style art photos.]

Jin Li: [Okay!]

The next day, Jin Li learned from Sui Lingfang about the final results of *Counterattack* in the mainland.

——The global box office reached 4.8 billion, and this number is still being refreshed every day!

Sister Fang said: "Because *Counterattack* has been taken off the shelves in China, the media has not continued to track and report.

But with the current trend of global box office, I think it should not stop at 9th place."

Jin Li asked curiously: "What is the result of 8th place?"

Sui Lingfang: "5 billion, 7th place is 5.5 billion."

Jin Li thought for a while, "*Counterattack* is only 200 million box office away from 8th place. With the global sweeping degree, this 200 million should be no problem.

It's just that the distance to the 5.5 billion of 7th place is a bit suspenseful. If there is no accident, it should be fixed at 8th place."

Sui Lingfang said excitedly: "But even if it is just this result, it is very good. After all, from the beginning, we never thought that *Counterattack* could impact the top 10 of the mainland film history box office."

From the beginning, everyone just hoped that it could become a dark horse and win big with small.

Later, it was found that it was becoming more and more explosive, and began to have expectations, hoping that it could break into the top 10 of the mainland film history box office.

As a result, after breaking into the top 10, it was found that it still had the potential to continue to rush up, and how many places it could rush to later were all accidents.

It is already very good to be able to rush to the 9th place in mainland film and television. I didn't expect that there is still hope to rush to the 8th place.

Sui Lingfang sighed: "After this battle, your reputation is completely out.

I don't have to worry about your film contract anymore, but I am worried about which one to help you choose. All good projects will be prioritized for you. This is the appeal of the 10 billion box office queen!"

Sui Lingfang didn't know what she thought of, and said with some regret:

"It's a pity that *Counterattack* is a youth inspirational movie, and there is little room for your acting skills to play. You can't see how powerful your performance is. You should have no fate with major awards."

Jin Li smiled slightly: "There are gains and losses. It is a youth inspirational film, but it can sell better than commercial films, which has already proven the potential of youth themes.

Even if I can't win acting awards, *Counterattack* itself should be able to win many major awards by virtue of the movie."

Sui Lingfang took a long breath and said in a slightly excited voice:

"*Counterattack* can't let you impact the film queen, but another film that might let you impact the film queen has been changed."

Jin Li's mind flashed, and she and Sui Lingfang said together: "*Dawn 2*!"

Since it was determined that *Dawn* was going to shoot the second part until now, a year has passed, and the script has also been polished for a year.

This is a real commercial blockbuster.

If it is shot well, it can not only win the box office in the mainland, but also win a considerable box office globally.

This kind of film is very money-sucking.

But it is often popular but not good.

So after the excitement faded, Jin Li appeared calmer.

"I haven't seen the script of *Dawn 2* yet. I have to see the script to know how the adaptation is. And *Dawn 2* is a thorough commercial blockbuster. In terms of utilitarianism, it is much stronger than *Counterattack*.

*Counterattack*'s positive energy theme is very difficult to win the film queen, *Dawn 2* is afraid it will be even more difficult."

It is still a bit difficult to play the complex inner drama of characters from films related to movie special effects.

If you put the background in a specific environment and only show the character's emotions, then every actor is estimated to go to act in horror movies.

What else can bring more emotional performance than horror movies?

But the selection of the film queen is not judged like this.

Especially the domestic selection.

Chinese movies prefer actors to use an introverted emotion to express the complexity of characters.

So Jin Li didn't look down on *Dawn 2* from the bottom of her heart, nor did she look down on *Counterattack*, which had already achieved many commercial achievements.

Instead, she looked more favorably at *Invisible Secret*, whose script had not been polished. This drama is her trump card to impact the drama queen.

It is a pity that Yiyi Media does not make movies, otherwise it would be better to make it into a movie.

The drama queen and the film queen, naturally the film queen has more gold content.

After Sui Lingfang talked with Jin Li, she immediately couriered the script of *Dawn 2* to Jin Li.

Jin Li received the script, studied it seriously, and felt a bit strange.

She looked at the script with great expectations, but the feeling it gave her after reading it was a bit short of the standard she imagined.

But she couldn't say where it was strange, after all, she rarely watched doomsday movies.

After seeking the director's consent, Jin Li took the script to Gu Cheng to see.

Although Gu Cheng is not a doomsday fever fan, the movies he has watched are definitely more than hers.

In addition, Gu Cheng is also learning photography, perhaps he can give her a brand new interpretation from the perspective of shooting:

Why did the director arrange to design this plot, how does he want to shoot, and what is the picture sense he wants?

Jin Li attaches such importance to this script for one reason: this time the Ruan Ruan she plays is no longer the second female lead, but the veritable first female lead.

*Dawn 2* except for the male lead appearing from time to time, acting as a relatively key character.

The original female lead determined by *Dawn 1* has completely no sound, directly cutting her off, and only knowing that she is missing in the conversation of characters.

Apartment.

Jin Li knocked on Gu Cheng's door after the live broadcast study at night.

The two apartments are face to face.

Gu Cheng opened the door and handed Jin Li a key.

"Don't knock on the door in the future, just open the door and come in."

Jin Li took the key, but said: "That's so embarrassing, what if you are doing other things, I broke in rashly and disturbed you."

Gu Cheng closed the door and touched her forehead with his forehead.

"First of all, I don't feel disturbed by anything you break in. You can know everything about me."

"Secondly, you are my girlfriend. There must be me in your life, and there must be you in my life. We adapt to each other until we are completely used to each other's existence."

"And then——"

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes, staring at her eyes, his eyes sinking.

He deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I want to give you all my bank cards, but I'm afraid you won't want to take them."

Jin Li bumped his chest lightly with her head, pushing his body away a little.

"Guessed right, I don't want to take it. This is the money you earned. Your money belongs to you, and my money belongs to me."

Gu Cheng wanted to say something, Jin Li stretched out her hand and resisted his lips.

"I know what you want to say, but I don't think it's necessary to be so anxious, and I don't think money should be an obstacle for us."

"Our money views and values are different. I don't want to control you, and I don't want to be controlled by you."

Gu Cheng blinked, "Then let's take a step back and change to another way."

Jin Li asked curiously: "What way?"

Gu Cheng: "Let's set up a joint account, deposit money into it every month, and use that card for our respective living expenses."

"I think I'm quite easy to raise, I don't need to spend a lot of money, my living expenses with you are about the same, don't believe it, come and see?"

Jin Li stared at him for a while and smiled: "Okay."

Gu Cheng couldn't help but kiss those bright eyes and pinched her waist.

Seeing the reflection of the two in the mirror, like vines clinging to each other and growing.

Everything is natural, and beauty happens.

Sofa.

Jin Li lay in Gu Cheng's arms and asked about the script of *Dawn 2*.

"I always feel that this script is a bit wrong, but I can't say where it is wrong.

From the structure, it is a very standard commercial film, and there seems to be nothing to criticize."

Gu Cheng rubbed her waist, thought for a while, and said: "I think the problem might be here.

The script design of *Dawn 2* is too standard, just like a script produced in an assembly line, with the same structure as a popcorn commercial film, so it makes you feel wrong.

Your subconscious thinks it can be done better, and you can't tolerate its too standard mediocrity."

Jin Li suddenly realized.

"I have watched the movie *Dawn*, although I haven't watched your script, but from the structure of *Dawn*.

I can see what Director Chu wants to express, and his first attempt to integrate comedy elements into it.

So the movie *Dawn* is not a standard commercial film, adding a lot of personal concepts that Director Chu wants to express, this is his brand new attempt.

Undoubtedly, this attempt was successful, but when it came to the second part, Director Chu returned to his cautious self, not as bold as the first part of *Dawn*, he chose to return to the commercial film track he was more familiar with."

Gu Cheng's words turned.

"But Jin Li, assembly-line standardization does not mean it is not excellent. The structure of many commercial blockbusters in the world is similar, but there are differences in content.

But when to abuse, when to be cool, and how to advance the cool feeling, they have already explored a set of formula processes."

Jin Li pondered: "So you mean, this script is actually very excellent, but I have too high requirements for it."

Gu Cheng nodded: "But this is just the first layer of meaning I want to express."

"You should also have heard the second layer of meaning. Director Chu did not choose to continue to break through, but retreated to the track he was more familiar with.

But he has been operating that track for many years, and the audience is already used to his style. If he doesn't make a breakthrough, the box office of this movie is estimated to not exceed the first one."

"And my opinion is, I have the same idea as you. I think the script can be done better, rather than a routine production."

Gu Cheng thought for a while and put forward his ideas more specifically.

"In the first part, Director Chu wanted to open up more audiences and also wanted to impact the Spring Festival file.

Although it was not shown in the Spring Festival file in the end, the integrated comedy elements also made many audiences feel refreshed, feeling that he was boldly trying to break through.

And he integrated it just right, adding some warmth to the cold doomsday, although this warmth looks more like a sarcastic mockery.

Comedy films are all tragedies in the end, his humor also has a tragic core, giving the film a bit of depth, the first part is not a pure commercial film."

"I think in the second part, he should continue the practice of the first part and add some funny elements to increase the depth of the movie.

But once comedy elements are added, the plot needs to be changed.

So I just put forward an idea, you are the lead actor, how to perform this drama, whether to change it, depends on you."

Jin Li considered it carefully, "I think you are right, I hope this series can go longer, rather than blindly continuing the plot of the first part and acting as a shadow."

"I will consider it carefully and then communicate with Director Chu."

Gu Cheng touched her head and pinched her ears.

"It's already very late, hurry up and sleep, I have to rush to eight tomorrow."

"Okay."

Jin Li was about to get up, but was pulled back by Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng said lowly: "The weather is quite cold today, I didn't install heating, you help me warm it up."

Jin Li laughed, "Okay."

She was completely embraced by Gu Cheng, with a great sense of security.

Suddenly, she grabbed the pair of hands on her lap and threatened: "Didn't you say you were sleepy, why don't you hurry up and sleep."

Gu Cheng laughed lowly, "Well, sleep."

Jin Li seemed to hear Gu Cheng's nagging between half-dream and half-awake.

"I will warm the quilt for you in the future."

She thought, others have to turn on heating in winter, she may have to turn on air conditioning in winter.

After rushing to eight, Jin Li contacted Director Chu and expressed her thoughts.

She thought for a while and said: "Actually, the role of Ruan Ruan doesn't have to be the protagonist of the second part. She is more suitable to leave suspense and push the story to develop further.

If a brand new protagonist is used, it can continue your style of the first part."

Director Chu said in a deep voice: "I understand all your thoughts, I will consider it again."

Jin Li hung up the phone and had no time to think about Director Chu's complex mood.

And when she received Director Chu's call again, it had been a week.

This time, Director Chu gave a more shocking message.

"You are right, the role of Ruan Ruan is not suitable to be the heroine of the second part, it is more suitable to leave suspense, so I plan to use the clone created by Ruan Ruan's tissue fluid to become the protagonist of the second part.

By you, to continue the style concept of the first part, and Ruan Ruan and the male lead will appear at critical moments."

Jin Li thought for a while and felt that this idea was good.

"Director Chu, I hope to see your new script as soon as possible, I think this is more interesting."

Coming to November.

The Jin Li fan meeting that Chenxi Entertainment had hidden for a long time finally started publicity.

Chenxi Entertainment directly issued a message on the official blog:
