Chapter 744: Grasp the Opportunity to Change Destiny!
Next, Jin Li maintained a stable study life.
She worked hard to absorb knowledge at the university and didn't join the crew, so she could focus on her studies.
To cooperate with her schedule, the reading originally set by Director Chu in the afternoon was also moved to the evening.
Days passed silently, without waves.
Suddenly one day, Jin Li received a WeChat message from Jian Liting.
She invited herself to participate in a play.
The name of this play is "Abyss," which is an original integrity play in a certain city.
When Jin Li received this WeChat message, she was a bit surprised.
Because she was studying at Qingbei, people in the circle knew that she wanted to focus on her studies, so she didn't invite her to participate in activities related to the circle.
And Jian Liting invited her to participate in the play, Jin Li subconsciously felt that it was not simple.
The last time she contacted Jian Liting, Jian Liting said that she was suppressed by the company and could not participate in better announcements.
Even if the announcement party found her, the company would recommend it to other stars.
Currently, she can only maintain her life by performing plays.
Maybe because the possibility of plays going out of the circle is too small, the company doesn't want to force her into a hurry, come to a fish-dead-net-broken, so she and the company maintain this stalemate.
From the experience of her dealing with Jian Liting before, Jian Liting is a proud person. If she hadn't suffered from mental illness, she would have been working hard on the actor's road.
Even if she couldn't make a big explosion, she would strive to maintain her good reputation in the industry and constantly hone her acting skills.
At that time, Jin Li felt that this was an actor with a sense of belief.
And through her physiognomy, it can also be seen that she is a late bloomer.
Before becoming a late bloomer, she will encounter many storms.
But as long as she can carry it, after the wind and rain is the rainbow.
Jin Li pondered for a while and sent a message: 【Did you have something happen?】
She didn't get a reply immediately.
An hour later, her phone vibrated, Jin Li opened it, and it was Jian Liting's reply.
The content of her reply was a bit complicated.
Jian Liting: 【That message just now was sent to everyone. I sent it to all the stars in the circle, and only got a few replies. Among them, only you asked me if something happened. Other replies to me were refusals.
My mood is a bit complicated. I feel that I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I am still alone, lonely and helpless, without even a friend.
Those people I used to think were friends now only avoid me】
Jian Liting: 【But I really have no choice. The reason I sent this WeChat message to everyone is not to test how far my relationship with those stars can go, but to ask for help】
Jian Liting: 【It seems that someone in the circle is unhappy with me, specifically targeting me, making me unable to receive popular and hot plays on the market.
I haven't worked for two months. If I don't perform in plays again, I won't be able to maintain my current life.
So I tried to send WeChat messages to everyone, to see if I could get one or two people's help, join this play, and bring it to life...】
Jian Liting explained the cause of the matter very clearly. Jin Li could feel that under her extremely restrained words was the self-mockery of being cold-hearted.
She couldn't help but recall Jian Liting's physiognomy before. There was a shallow vertical line between her eyebrows.
At that time, she felt that if this vertical line continued to deepen, it would affect her career, and even force her to retreat and no longer walk on the actor's road.
But the vertical line she saw at that time was very shallow. This just represented one possibility, and it was very likely not to happen.
So she didn't take it to heart.
Now listening to Jian Liting say this, the vertical line between her eyebrows seems to have deepened a lot.
Jin Li directly dialed the voice call.
Jian Liting answered quickly.
Jin Li said calmly: "Don't worry, tell me the specific reason. You think you offended who, you should have a suspected candidate in your heart.
And how did that person target you, your company? Is it really not doing anything? Have you sought help from the company?"
A bitter smile crossed Jian Liting's face.
If it weren't for the last resort, she wouldn't have sought help from Jin Li.
She sent messages to many stars, and had already put down all pride and face to find a way to survive.
"The person I offended might be the newcomer the company is trying to support. She has only debuted for a year, her momentum is very fierce, and she has some acting skills.
The first idol drama she filmed exploded, and the company gave all my resources to her. She films at least three plays a year, and doesn't have to worry about not having anything to film at all.
I don't know how I offended her. She has targeted me everywhere this year, and later even ruined the plays I participated in, and even used money to smash people, asking them not to invite me to perform."
Jian Liting took a deep breath, and a touch of hatred crossed her eyes.
"I mentioned this to the agent, but she only told me to endure it.
Reflecting to other senior executives of the company, they didn't take it to heart, and instead told me that people are young and don't understand things, and I am an old senior in the circle, don't care about a newcomer.
Sending WeChat messages to you is my last struggle. If no one responds, I will have a fish-dead-net-broken with the company!"
Jin Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, dare to love and hate, very Jian Liting's style.
She has always believed that Jian Liting has a trace of madness in her bones, but it is usually suppressed.
If she really listened to the company's arrangements, she wouldn't insist on publishing a book, writing down the experience of the treatment before.
Even more wouldn't care about her past at all, and reveal the scars of the past in front of everyone.
She should have become a puppet carefully shaped by the company, and every move was monitored by the company.
Jin Li pondered for a while and said: "I understand, now I just want to ask you one thing, do you still like acting, do you want to continue?"
Jian Liting was stunned, and then nodded firmly.
"I like acting, I want to continue acting, it is a career I have loved all my life, even if I got lost halfway, but I believe that one day I will come back!"
Jin Li couldn't help but smile.
Her smile was bright and brilliant, like a warm sun in winter breaking through the continuous haze of many days, shining on the earth.
She suddenly mentioned another thing, "Liting, actually, the first time I saw you, I wanted to say that I have a fate with you."
Jian Liting's eyes were blank, "What?"
Jin Li returned to the topic: "When will your play be performed? I'll see if I have time."
Jian Liting still hadn't reacted.
After a while, she said: "You... you just agreed?"
Jin Li said calmly: "I have to determine the time first, otherwise I may not be able to arrange it."
Jian Liting's breathing was rapid, a flush crossed her face, and she clenched her fists tightly, with ecstasy in her heart.
She succeeded!
She finally met someone who was willing to pull her!
At this time, she suddenly remembered the scene a few years ago. When she was most down and out, it was also Jin Li who pulled her.
In terms of time, Jian Liting couldn't determine it yet, but she promised Jin Li that she would definitely pick the time when she was most free.
As long as Jin Li was willing to join this play, there was no need to worry about the play being aborted, it would definitely be performed smoothly, and maybe it could become a hot style.
Jin Li also received the script of the play "Abyss" on the same day.
After reading it, she let out a long breath.
This play presents the complexity and greed deep in human nature to the audience without reservation, and warns of the danger of losing "small sections" through the fall trajectory of the main characters.
Because the play involves realistic plots, it needs to be reviewed by relevant departments before it can be performed publicly.
Jian Liting was able to get this play, and she must have put a lot of effort into it.
And the play she carefully selected can also mobilize the audience's emotions very well.
This is an element that a hot play must have.
Sui Lingfang called her and told her about the work arrangements for the weekend. Jin Li told her about taking over the play.
Sister Fang was stunned for a while, and then asked puzzledly: "Play? Why did you think of taking the play? I remember you are not interested in the play, right?"
Jin Li said lightly: "Because I didn't understand it in detail before, and the attraction to me was insufficient.
But I have learned about it recently, and I feel that the play is quite interesting, so I plan to take this play to hone myself."
Sui Lingfang said casually: "That's fine, if you are interested, then go try it. Send me a copy of the production team and actor list of the play you took, and I will let the team investigate."
Jin Li: "Uh......"
It was rare to see her stuttering like this, and Sui Lingfang immediately became vigilant.
"What's wrong? Not convenient to say? What kind of play did you take?"
Jin Li blinked innocently, "It's a very serious play. The script of the play is absolutely no problem. It's just that the production team and other actors are still in preparation. The known actors are me and Jian Liting."
Sui Lingfang: ......
"I thought you were really interested in the play, and I wanted to help you pick some excellent play scripts to let you hone your acting skills. As a result, you are going to poverty alleviation?"
Jin Li: "Uh......"
Mentioning "Jian Liting," Sui Lingfang had a deep impression.
After all, when contacting "Assassination" before, she also contacted this actor.
She also felt sorry for knowing Jian Liting's illness.
Later, the illness was cured, but I don't know why, Jian Liting's company has been suppressing her, not giving her exposure, and in the last two years, she has been in a state of no one.
If Jin Li didn't mention this name, maybe after another period of time, this actor would be completely forgotten in her mind.
Now that Jin Li mentioned it, she remembered everything.
Sui Lingfang said seriously: "Jin Li, our energy in the entertainment industry is limited. It's good to be able to take care of ourselves. It's very difficult to help others every time."
Sui Lingfang is worried that after you help her, you will cause other troubles, and she may not necessarily remember your goodness."
Sui Lingfang's underlying thoughts were more direct, but she didn't say it.
She thought, Jian Liting is not an artist of Chenxi Entertainment, why help artists of other companies?
If Jin Li wants to help, then the company must include Jian Liting, which is a cost-effective deal.
This actor's acting skills are okay, but she has a very stiff relationship with the company, very unlucky, belonging to the type of talent that is not met.
Besides, "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't manage the frost on others' tiles," this is very common.
How can anyone be helped? It's not the world police, and it's necessary to maintain the peace of the entertainment industry.
Jin Li understood Sister Fang's potential meaning.
She pondered for a while and said: "I remember that Jian Liting's contract with her old owner will end next year. Do you want to talk to her in advance?"
This was said very implicitly, and it was almost the two words "digging people" that were said.
Sui Lingfang was a bit moved.
In her view, Jian Liting is a first-line artist with strength. Who would dislike the first-line artists on hand?
First-line artists usually don't lack announcements, and their reputation is guaranteed, and agents can get stable commissions every month.
Sui Lingfang quickly made a decision: "You send me the script first, and I will find a time to contact Jian Liting to see what her thoughts are."
After Jin Li hung up the call with Sister Fang, she habitually opened WeChat to post moments.
Suddenly, she turned to the emergency notice sent by Director Zheng Chengxin.
【"Desperate Counterattack" crew is urgently recruiting female No. 4 (the original actor retired from the crew due to physical reasons), if interested, private chat! If interested, private chat! Welcome to introduce actors with empty schedules, and will give a good introduction fee! Details please call 135XXX, Address: XXX Film and Television City】
Seeing this circle of friends, she immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Jian Liting.
Jian Liting first returned a question mark, and then quickly sent a voice message.
She asked very worriedly: "Can I do it? I'm afraid the company will intervene and give the opportunity I finally got to the newcomer who is very popular in the company."
Jin Li also replied by voice: "You go try it first, Director Zheng may not necessarily hire you.
If he hires you, your company dare not say anything. He is a well-known director in China anyway. Your company is too late to hold him, and dare not go against him."
Jian Liting's heart was set, and she dialed the phone number in the screenshot.
Director Zheng heard it was her, and a picture flashed in his mind.
"I remember you. You acted in a certain period drama before. Although the results were average, your performance won the candidate for the best heroine that year."
Jian Liting's eyes flashed with tears, "Yes, yes, it is the play "Road Home"."
Speaking of which, this play was her highlight moment in her acting career, and she won the nomination for "Best Heroine" that year.
It is a pity that talent is not as good as capital, and the "Best Heroine" of that year was finally taken by the person supported by capital.
Jian Liting didn't expect that Director Zheng still had an impression of her.
Director Zheng also remembered more things about Jian Liting at this time.
A few years ago, she was still a first-line little flower with good momentum. The plays she acted in, although none of them exploded, had a good reputation. In the circle, she was a very stable artist, and using her would not go wrong.
It's just that I don't know why, she has been silent for the past two years, and I have never heard any news about her again.
Director Zheng said quickly: "I need you to rush to the crew to audition today. If possible, you have to start filming today."
Jian Liting's heart jumped heavily, knowing that this was one of the few opportunities she could grasp.
She also said very refreshingly: "Okay! But Director Zheng, my company may not necessarily agree to let me take this play."
Director Zheng frowned: "What do you mean? Since you don't want to take it, why call me?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood."
Jian Liting hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to take it, but the company doesn't let me take it, doesn't want me to take it. If they know I have your resources, they might contact you and recommend my role to other artists in the company."
Zheng Chengxin's brows relaxed, and he said strongly and decisively: "You don't have to worry about this. I will talk to your company, you hurry over."
"Okay, Director Zheng!"
Jian Liting responded quickly, feeling that the palm holding the phone had a lot of sweat.
