Chapter 772: Confrontation in another play

Xu Ting was full of expectations that Bai Jiang would reveal some inside information about the crew to her.

For example, did Director Chu lose his temper in the crew?

In the cast of the second part, is Director Chu particularly dissatisfied with any actor and plans to change people?

Or how is the progress of filming, is it always being modified?

She was eager to inquire about the crew’s news, and even more hoped to get bad news from Bai Jiang’s mouth.

But Bai Jiang’s reply shattered the dark thoughts in her heart.

Nothing happened, everything went smoothly.

Bai Jiang even advised her to "tuck her tail and be a person," which made Xu Ting unwilling to accept it.

The crew has to have some problems!

There must be some problems, so she has a possibility to join the crew.

Why can almost all the actors from the first part return to the second part, but only she, the female lead, didn't receive any invitation, and didn't even have a clip to let her appear in the movie for a few minutes!

Xu Ting didn't know what the script of *Dawn 2* was like, but based on the foreshadowing buried in the first part, she shouldn't have disappeared so thoroughly in the second part, with no scenes at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Ting suddenly had a thought:

"Did Director Chu find someone else to replace me and play Su Yuxuan’s scenes?"

This discovery made her even more anxious, and she was always arguing with her agent.

But Xu Ting learned to be smart this time.

Arguing is arguing, and making trouble is making trouble, all in private, not daring to make it public.

She didn't dare to vent her resentment on Jin Li either, fearing being stared at by her and targeted.

Xu Ting did several psychological consultations and had already recognized from the bottom of her heart that Jin Li was a normal person.

But she always felt that Jin Li was very strange, as if she would be very unlucky if she got a little closer, so she was still very afraid of Jin Li.

Seeing that her state was becoming more and more unstable, the agent stopped many of her announcements that required dealing with the media and quickly talked about an acting variety show, letting Xu Ting be a mentor.

Then she packed Xu Ting and stuffed her into the variety show for a closed filming for more than a month.

By then, her state should be a bit more stable.

But the agent, including Xu Ting, didn't know that this variety show would become an indelible black history for Xu Ting.

As a mentor, her acting skills were actually not as good as the students’.

In many segments that tested acting skills, Xu Ting’s performance was devoid of emotion and technique, only knowing how to say lines dryly.

Because her acting skills were too dragging, mentors with real materials looked down on her and always confronted Xu Ting on the show.

After this variety show was broadcast later, Xu Ting was the most scolded, almost burying her entire acting career.

The scene returned to the *Dawn 2* crew.

That night, Jin Li took the initiative to find Gu Cheng. She was very curious about Gu Cheng’s mood when he was in charge of the lens for the first time.

Gu Cheng opened the door and was very happy to see her. He held her tightly in his arms, smelling the scent on her body, and it took a while to separate, but their hands had to be held together.

Jin Li leaned in his arms and asked about what happened today.

"Why did Director Chu suddenly let you be in charge of the lens?"

Without Director Chu’s permission, the assistant director would definitely not let Gu Cheng touch the camera.

Gu Cheng said seriously: "Maybe my sincerity moved heaven and earth, making the impartial Director Chu willing to make an exception, letting me, a rookie, try to feel what it’s like to film a movie."

Jin Li patted his hand, "You speak seriously!"

Gu Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, but I feel that Director Chu does intend to cultivate me."

Jin Li’s brain opened wide: "Could it be that he wants to cultivate a successor, teach you how to film special-effects blockbusters, and you can develop toward special-effects movies in the future."

Gu Cheng continued to shake his head: "Impossible, I am just a novice, with no experience at all."

"If I want to film special-effects films in the future, I might have to try after filming five or six plays. If he wants to cultivate me, this cultivation time is too long."

He thought for a while, "I think he just mentioned it casually, thinking that my ability can be tried, so he let the assistant director let me try."

"Actually, the lens I filmed today is not much. If it can be put into the feature film, it is only ten seconds, which is not surprising."

Jin Li’s eyes curved and smiled: "That’s also very powerful!"

Both of them have scenes to film tomorrow morning, so they rested after chatting for a while.

And on this night, others were also actively looking for a way out.

After Jian Liting added Lian Baozhi, she made a WeChat call with her in the evening, asking what her thoughts were.

Lian Baozhi hesitated and said cautiously: "The reason I participated in drama is that I want to improve my acting skills."

Jian Liting pondered for a while and said: "But participating in drama is not something every actor can improve. It requires a certain talent to have insights."

She explained: "After all, drama pays more attention to the expression of emotion and will not be as restrained as filming. The acting skills that can film movies will appear slightly plain when placed in drama."

"I filmed drama before because I wanted to practice micro-expressions and correct line pronunciation, honing my line skills."

"I can use drama to hone myself, but there are also some actors who have gained nothing even if they appeared in drama, but were instead led astray by the performance of drama."

Lian Baozhi heard what she meant and asked hesitantly: "Do you think I can't gain insights from drama?"

Jian Liting smiled and shook her head, "It’s not what I think, but what you think. Whether you can gain something in drama depends on yourself."

"But I must explain to you that not every effort can be rewarded."

"I’ll give you a vaccination in advance, so you don't gain anything and regret appearing in drama instead."

Lian Baozhi was anxious when she heard it.

"No, I won't regret it. I won't regret every decision I make. Even if I gain nothing, it’s my problem. I won't blame you."

Seeing her like this, Jian Liting felt that she might be sincerely wanting to appear in drama, not just coming to plate a layer of gold and then sending a news report to hype it up.

Now, in order to become popular, actors use all kinds of methods.

For example, going to a certain place for further study, participating in drama to hone acting skills, going to training classes, etc., all wishing to say the news a hundred times.

Let netizens feel that their idol is both enterprising and hardworking.

Actually, they are all hype.

People who are cultivating themselves never announce their learning to the public.

Because they don't have that energy and time.

Jian Liting said: "When are you free next week? Come to me. I’ll have a separate meeting with you to see what role you want to play."

Lian Baozhi was stunned, "Ah? Is it directly role auditioning?"

"Isn't there an acting assessment? Only those who meet the acting standards will be hired, and then roles will be assigned."

Jian Liting’s tone was indifferent, revealing a calm aura.

"You don't need to participate in the assessment, save some time. I have seen your performance in *Desperate Counterattack*. By my standards, your acting skills are definitely passing."

Lian Baozhi’s heart relaxed. Does this count as getting recognition from a peer?

A little happy~

She hasn't been praised by a peer for her acting skills being okay.

Her acting skills were honed by filming every year, one after another, entering the crew seamlessly to polish.

She is not from a professional class and can only rely on herself.

It’s not that she hasn't hired acting teachers, but she couldn't understand the methods and techniques the teachers said, and couldn't do it. It wasn't as fast as her own pondering.

This is also the disadvantage of the wild path.

Because of the lack of basic knowledge of acting, even if she wants to cram, she has to consider the problem of comprehension.

This is like some words being separated alone, every word, sentence, and paragraph is recognized.

But when combined together, she can't understand what it is talking about.

After hanging up the phone, Lian Baozhi told Lu Shanjie the good news and said somewhat proudly:

"Jian Liting recognized my acting skills, didn't conduct an assessment in advance, directly stuffed me into the drama, and I will go to audition for roles next week to see which role is better for me to play."

Lu Shanjie raised her eyebrows, a bit surprised, as if it were the first time she knew Lian Baozhi.

She had been to every crew Lian Baozhi filmed in and had seen her performance in the crew.

Very hardworking, very dedicated, and very desperate.

But in terms of acting skills……

Maybe it was the terrible appearance of Lian Baozhi when she first started filming that left too deep an impression on her, so she always felt—

Lian Baozhi had no talent in filming and could only rely on hard work.

It was also because of this that she never talked to her about film and television dramas that required very high acting skills.

Especially those films that reflect human nature and reveal reality, even if they came to the door, she rejected them.

One is that Lian Baozhi’s acting skills are not enough to support the thickness of this play.

Two is that although she is a bit old, she is well-maintained and can still film idol dramas.

Otherwise, wait until she wants to film later, she won't be able to film, and her face will be full of wrinkles.

Do you have to wait until netizens mock "middle-aged ancient idol" to stop?

But Jian Liting actually recognized Lian Baozhi’s acting skills……

Lu Shanjie thought of the news she had heard before and said: "I received news that Jin Li has an urban suspense drama waiting to be filmed, the plot is reversed and reversed, and the requirements for acting skills are high."

"Originally I didn't want to operate it, because this play has high requirements for acting skills, even if it is just a supporting role, but since Jian Liting thinks your acting skills are not bad, do you want to rush it?"

However, Lian Baozhi didn't listen to anything, only heard "Jin Li has a play in her hand."

She immediately brightened her eyes and said with burning eyes: "Okay, okay, I can cooperate with Jin Li, even if I play the third or fourth female lead!"

Lu Shanjie:……

She helplessly supported her forehead, almost forgetting that her own artist was still Jin Li’s brain-dead fan.

*Dawn 2* officially entered the special-effects filming stage, which is very testing for actors’ performance without objects.

At the same time, since this is a doomsday film, escape scenes are naturally indispensable, so the actors also officially started their "falling and beating" career.

Whenever they want to film escape scenes, Gu Cheng will check the props, scene construction, cushion protection, etc. arranged by the program team in advance.

He wants to ensure that in the process of falling and beating, it will not cause any accidents, and the body can be supported, rather than really falling.

Gu Cheng’s inspection is very detailed. This is not for himself, but for Jin Li.

He has always remembered that Jin Li’s body is different from ordinary people. Although she looks healthy and normal now, once the filming intensity is too high, she will fall into a coma.

It’s not that he hasn't seen the scene where Jin Li fainted because of being too tired. At that time, he was very anxious and wanted to send her to the hospital.

It’s just that Jin Li would often wake up quickly and then say that she didn't need to be sent to the hospital, and she would be fine after resting for a while.

When Gu Cheng checked the props at the beginning, others saw it and didn't say anything.

Because Gu Cheng participated in those scenes.

But soon, the outdoor scenes belonging to "Gu Quan" were finished, but Gu Cheng still came to check the props every day, and others figured out something.

"I feel this is top-level show of affection, saying nothing, just paying silently."

"I finally figured it out. It turns out Gu Cheng checked the props for Jin Li. He is afraid that Jin Li will be injured!"

"Now that you say that, I also figured it out. Although the interaction between the two in the crew is not frequent, they occasionally bump into each other and are just chatting, without making any intimate actions, but I just feel that the two are very affectionate."

Because Gu Cheng checked too meticulously, he really found a few small problems in the prop group and venue layout group.

Fortunately, they were not big problems.

Every time Director Chu saw him stepping on the venue in advance and checking various props and security measures, he just took a look and moved his eyes away.

Until one time, Gu Cheng came to check in advance again, and he couldn't help but tease:

"Should I thank Jin Li, thank him for pulling in such an excellent inspector, saving the crew a lot of trouble?"

Gu Cheng smiled lightly and didn't speak.

Director Chu said meaningfully: "You young people, you are so sticky when you fall in love."

The filming of *Dawn 2* is still continuing, and Jin Li’s other play *Invisible Secret* is also quietly preparing.

This play will definitely have a chance to be filmed next year.

But it doesn't hinder Yi Yi Media from starting to act now, making an appointment in advance, so as not to have no schedule when they want to make an appointment.

And before preparing the cast, they also have to review the script manuscript.

In this regard, Yi Yi Media actively docked with Chenxi Entertainment, and finally saw the new screenwriter of this play in a formal conversation occasion.

People from Yi Yi Media saw He Wuyou, who was wearing a straight suit, suave, and seemed to have everything under control, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"It’s actually him? How could it be him! Isn't he a new screenwriter?"

"Chenxi Entertainment is crazy, letting a novice who has never had screenwriting experience write this play!"

Some people vented their dissatisfaction with this script on He Wuyou.

"No wonder I feel this script is weird. The narrative structure is very different from previous scripts, introducing some new techniques. I thought it was what a big screenwriter thought of, but I didn't expect it to be just a novice."

Although President Yang already knew that He Wuyou was the screenwriter of *Invisible Secret*, he was a big boss, so it was impossible for him to fear him because of this, and he specifically greeted the group of people under his hand, asking them to hold He Wuyou.

So many middle and high-level people in Yi Yi Media didn't know that the person Chenxi Entertainment found was the one who couldn't stay in their company before.

After seeing He Wuyou, the mentality of the people in Yi Yi Media was about to explode.

The manuscript that was barely passed was immediately beaten back.

They "sincerely" put forward opinions to Chenxi Entertainment, thinking that some plots should be changed, and hoped that Chenxi Entertainment could consider it carefully. ===== CHAPTER 781 =====
