Chapter 715: Poaching people
And just when "Desperate Counterattack" signed Gu Cheng as the male lead, the crew also found Chenxi Entertainment, hoping to let Jin Li play a role in it.
The crew couldn't contact Jin Li directly. Now Jin Li is too popular, and her private number is hard to get.
And the means of bypassing the company to contact artists are not glorious, making it look like sneaking around.
So the crew went to contact the company openly.
Sui Lingfang came to Jin Li's apartment outside Tsinghua and Peking University the next day, mentioned this to her, and brought the script of "Desperate Counterattack" by the way.
Jin Li had already read the script, but she didn't tell Fang Jie.
After hearing Fang Jie's intention, she picked up the script and flipped through it. It was almost the same as what she had seen before, with little change.
After Sui Lingfang finished reading, she said: "'Desperate Counterattack' wants to find you to play two roles."
Jin Li raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Two roles? There is no twin setting in this script, right?"
Sui Lingfang smiled: "It's just two roles, or let you choose one from two."
"Whether it's the male lead's white moonlight or the heroine with more scenes, they want you to play them."
"If you don't want to play two roles alone, then choose one role from them. The decision is up to you."
Jin Li pondered for a while and shook her head: "The heroine and the white moonlight are too similar, which makes it easy for the male lead to be unable to distinguish his feelings. I won't play the heroine."
Sui Lingfang: "Then play the male lead's white moonlight, as a guest appearance, and you can come back in less than 7 days of filming."
Jin Li nodded: "This is fine."
She suddenly thought of something and teased: "Actually, the role of white moonlight can be dug deeper."
"If Desperate Counterattack has the intention to shoot the second part, it can start from the role of white moonlight, be resurrected and trained into a big villain, etc., that would have a very exciting rival drama with Gu Cheng."
Sui Lingfang had read the script and she understood what Jin Li was talking about.
It happened that "Desperate Counterattack" was a long cool text novel. The novel is currently being serialized and has not been finished, divided into several units.
The first part is just shooting one of the units.
She said: "I will feedback your suggestion to the director. Maybe they also want to shoot like this. The novel is a novel, and adapting it into film and television must make some changes."
"But the first part is estimated to be unable to change too much, it has to wait for the second part."
Jin Li nodded: "I am not the lead in this play, the scenes are few, and it doesn't take up much of my time. I'll take it to play."
Sui Lingfang said meaningfully: "Whether you take it to play or want to see someone, you know in your heart."
"As long as it doesn't affect your work, everything is easy to talk about."
After mentioning "Desperate Counterattack", she mentioned the script "Invisible Secret".
"I heard that the adaptation of this script is not going well. After all, it is a new screenwriter, and being able to write this script is based on temporary inspiration."
The new screenwriter said he only spent three days to finish the script creation.
This is a TV series script. It can be finished in three days, which is very consuming of inspiration, so if you want to adapt it, you have to rely on inspiration.
Yiyi Media is worried that it will delay your business, and wants to ask if you can communicate with the screenwriter."
Jin Li was strange.
"Their screenwriter needs inspiration, what does it have to do with me? Does inspiration come when communicating with me?"
Sui Lingfang said: "This is a request made by the new screenwriter. They said that when this screenwriter created this script, the first impression was that he wanted you to participate, and he created the protagonist with your image."
"If you can communicate some ideas with you, he can adapt more smoothly."
Jin Li was stunned for a moment: "Is it such a coincidence?"
Sui Lingfang shook her head, "It's not a coincidence. I think this screenwriter is aiming at you."
"At that time, in order for the counterattack to win the movie market in Southeast Asia, you spread the news of cooperation with Yiyi Media."
"The media broke the news in great detail, saying you will star in a self-made TV series of Yiyi Media."
"Yiyi Media's screenwriters are all straw bags. They can't think of good scripts themselves, so they get buyout scripts through gray transactions."
Sui Lingfang sorted out the information she had heard and continued:
"This new screenwriter should have learned about Yiyi Media from the media, so he submitted the script to it."
"Originally, it was a public submission to the mailbox, but under the operation of those straw bags, it became a buyout, and it was not known by the senior management."
"If it weren't for this thorough investigation, Yiyi Media's senior management wouldn't have thought that the mailbox for public solicitation of scripts would become a link in the gray industry transaction."
Jin Li said: "He looks a bit unlucky."
Sui Lingfang nodded: "It is said that when Yiyi Media found him, this screenwriter had already joined an advertising company and did not intend to engage in the screenwriter industry."
"Think about it, just as the first script of a new screenwriter, he created it with such inspiration. It is a pity not to take this route. Fortunately, Yiyi Media poached him."
Jin Li lowered her eyes, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, and suddenly said: "Fang Jie."
Sui Lingfang: "Hmm?"
Jin Li: "Is the company considering shooting film and television dramas? Even if it is just some low-cost web dramas or short dramas."
Sui Lingfang frowned and shook her head: "No, the company currently estimates that it only dares to enter the variety show industry, because our farming variety show has been done."
Jin Li smiled: "If you don't take a step forward, how do you know you can't?"
The topic changed a bit fast. Aren't we discussing the new screenwriter and Yiyi Media? Why are we suddenly discussing shooting web dramas?
Sui Lingfang followed her words and said: "So?"
Jin Li: "Poach this new screenwriter. If Yiyi Media doesn't value him enough, since he has inspiration in creating scripts, I believe this is not his end."
Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows, and became interested, "Do you want to invest in him?"
Jin Li nodded: "Yes."
"If the company doesn't sign him, can I sign him?"
She paused and said helplessly: "Recently, there is too much money to spend, and I want to try hard to spend money."
Sui Lingfang: "...... Baby, don't say that when you go out."
Jin Li looked over, her eyes full of doubt.
Sui Lingfang: "Too ordinary, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death."
Jin Li: ......
Jin Li arranged to meet with the new screenwriter of Yiyi Media next weekend.
The new screenwriter expressed with great sincerity that he would fly to the Imperial Capital in person, cooperate with Jin Li's time, not affect her work, and only take time to communicate with her.
Jin Li asked a few questions about whether the travel expenses and food and lodging were reimbursed?
She had already added the new screenwriter's WeChat, named He Wuyou, and the meaning of the name was very good.
He Wuyou: [Ah? Can I still ask the company for reimbursement? I am the one who wants to see you.]
He Wuyou: [The company doesn't want me to see you, thinking it's a waste of time, but I still want to talk to you.]
Jin Li: [So Yiyi Media didn't reimburse you, you paid for it yourself?]
He Wuyou: [Yes, I don't know about this, wait a minute, I'll ask the company if they will reimburse it.]
Jin Li: [You are also for the sake of the script, forget it, I will reimburse you.]
She pushed Sui Lingfang's business card over.
[You add her, she is my agent, I have already arranged it.]
Sui Lingfang saw that there was a new stranger added to WeChat, and she was a bit puzzled about who this "He Wuyou" was.
Until she received the WeChat sent by Jin Li, her eyelids jumped.
It seems that Jin Li really wants to sign this new screenwriter, even if Chenxi Entertainment has no plans to shoot short dramas or web dramas, she still wants to sign.
She thought of the money constantly increasing in Jin Li's bank card, and suddenly she was relieved.
With so much money, even if she shoots a dozen bad films, it is enough for her to spend.
And this money will come continuously.
It is impossible that none of the films have broken even.
When the script was being promoted, the news that Li Xunfang married a certain investment tycoon in the circle was finally broken.
The news Sui Lingfang received here is that this news was specifically released, and it is very likely to be Li Xunfang's handwriting.
Because that investment tycoon is quite low-key, and getting the certificate is also very low-key, looking like he wants to hide the marriage.
But Li Xunfang is a star who really needs to hype up popularity.
Her combination with this tycoon will be of great help to her connections and resources.
Before this news was broken, the popularity on the internet was occupied by Gu Cheng and Jin Li, and their news could often be seen in the top 10 of the hot search.
Either take turns, or one of them must be on.
And the news of Li Xunfang's hidden marriage came out, occupying the headlines of major newspapers, and for a while, the limelight was unparalleled, and major resource errands came to the door one after another.
Sui Lingfang learned about this and gossiped with Jin Li.
"Li Xunfang's career in the past two years is not very good, barely maintaining the status of a first-tier artist, but it is also continuing to decline."
"As a female star, getting married when she is still young, she has enough courage."
"But marriage has both pros and cons. Although she chose a tycoon and can enjoy many high-quality resources, those blue-faced confidants in the past can no longer help her."
Jin Li heard her say this, and then remembered.
Li Xunfang's private life is very chaotic, and she was exposed before for dating multiple men in one day.
In the morning, she wasn't catching this trip, at noon she was catching that trip, and in the evening she was catching another trip, all meeting different men.
And Li Xunfang changed from a small model to a first-tier big star, and there must be many ways to manage connections in the middle.
Once married, the methods she used before would not work.
Jin Li listened to it as gossip and said lightly: "This is her choice. Her personality is very tenacious. It is difficult for her to disappear completely in the entertainment industry. She has been sinking and floating for these years."
"Even if she gets married and settles down, her career is stable and prosperous, but a decision she makes a few years later will ruin her career, and no one can save her."
"However, she has been working hard in the entertainment industry, and she will have no worries about money for a lifetime."
Sui Lingfang was stunned and asked: "How do you know so much, did you specifically ask someone to calculate her?"
Jin Li smiled: "No calculation, just reached some conclusions by looking at her face, and it may not be accurate."
She changed the subject, "By the way, Fang Jie, do I have a Jin Bafu opening event to attend next weekend?"
Sui Lingfang returned to her senses: "Yes, I originally wanted to arrange an errand for you every day for those two days, and you can participate in two brand events."
"But didn't that kid He Wuyou want to talk to you about script adaptation on the weekend?"
"The other brand event is not important, so I helped you push it. You just became their global spokesperson for Jin Bafu, this cannot be pushed."
Jin Li: "Okay, can I let Gu Cheng see this script? I want him to give me some opinions."
Sui Lingfang: "You decide for yourself, the script we submitted to you is decided by yourself."
Jin Li didn't care about Li Xunfang's follow-up, but Lian Baozhi's agent Lu Shanjie still cared very much.
Lian Baozhi just finished participating in a variety show and came to the nanny car, and heard Lu Shanjie say seriously:
"Just got the news from the variety show side, saying that the next flying guest is not going, you don't need to participate."
Lian Baozhi nodded and closed her eyes to rest.
This situation is quite common, after all, it is a flying guest.
Participating in one episode is a flying guest, and participating in two, three, or four episodes can also be called a flying guest.
Anyway, the contract signed is not resident, and resident must be there every episode.
She has been a flying guest for variety shows for these years, basically only participating in three episodes, or shorter.
Excellent performance and high popularity have the opportunity to become a resident guest.
But this opportunity is not common for her.
Because her personality cannot be greatly magnified in the variety show, but will expose shortcomings.
The company is worried that she will say the wrong thing in the variety show, and the external copy says she is true-tempered.
Low EQ: can't speak.
High EQ: true-tempered.
Lian Baozhi feels that she used to be a person who knew how to drill, otherwise she wouldn't have killed out of LP.
But as she went to film film and television dramas and wanted to transform into a powerful actor, she found that she really didn't like to be hypocritical with others.
Lu Shanjie's voice came from her ear, "You only participated in one flying guest episode. According to the contract, there should be at least three episodes. The errand party actively compensated us, and the compensation has already been hit."
Lian Baozhi frowned and opened her eyes.
"What does this mean...... We were not naturally eliminated, but squeezed out by air-dropping?"
Lu Shanjie nodded: "Yes."
She said with a solemn expression: "If I guess correctly, it is Li Xunfang. In a few days, the variety show will officially announce the new guest. See if it is Li Xunfang, it is ten or nine times out of ten."
Lian Baozhi: "Does that investment tycoon also participate in this variety show?"
Lu Shanjie: "You also know that people are investment tycoons. This is a popular variety show. It is normal for him to participate. It is also normal for other shareholders to give him face and support his new wife."
She sighed for a long time, "Li Xunfang has started, and what I worry about most is you. You have been stepping on her resources for these years."
"Now she is supported by someone again, although her popularity has declined a bit, it can be hyped up."
"Plus the relationship with her husband, I am afraid it is difficult for you to participate in a relatively excellent variety show."
Lian Baozhi pondered for a while, not as pessimistic as the agent.
"This also gives me more time to film. In terms of variety shows, people have resources, connections, and channels. If I can't compare, I can't compare."
"I don't believe that with her acting skills, any director dares to pull her to act."
Lu Shanjie doesn't believe it either.
But can't resist people wanting to please the investment tycoon?
However, there is only this one way left for now.
Suddenly, Lian Baozhi didn't know what she thought of, and said: "Let's take the invitation from 'Desperate Counterattack', I want to go for an interview."
Lu Shanjie frowned tightly: "But they let you play a supporting role!"
Lian Baozhi said indifferently: "But that is a movie, and a supporting role can circle a wave of fans if played well."
