Chapter 172: Tense Walk Preparation

September is a very calm month for many people.

Students who have finished their summer break have to return to campus to study.

Stars who ran around for jobs during the summer schedule also reduced their appearance frequency in September, so as not to let netizens feel disgusted by dense exposure.

The water park, which specifically increased its efforts for the summer schedule, could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer receive so many tourists.

Jin Li ushered in the finish in this calm!

The mood at the finish was excited, but after returning to the hotel, her body was exhausted.

Even though the work intensity of the "Dream Builder" crew was not high, acting is equivalent to doing a project. After acting, it is the end of the project.

All the pain, sorrow, joy, and tears invested in this project drew a period after the project was completed.

It seems that all the emotions of these days have been thrown away.

Jin Li couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

She suddenly thought that she didn't have to get up early tomorrow, didn't have to take the shuttle bus to the crew, didn't have dozens of people greeting her with smiles, and the director didn't ask her to look at the shooting in the lens...

Oh, Xu Xu Wenwen wouldn't come to find her to chat at night, Chen Qin didn't have to go to help her get a lunch box, and she would never eat the thirty-yuan luxury lunch box given by the crew again!

Jin Li felt a bit regretful.

The taste of the crew lunch box was quite good, and she liked it very much.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell was knocked, and Chen Qin stood outside, already packed up, and wanted to go to the finish banquet with her.

Jin Li walked out and found that Xu Xu Wenwen and her assistant had also come out.

Xu Xu Wenwen looked at her and said: "Go together?"

Jin Li nodded.

The opening ceremony and the finish banquet of the crew are a kind of ritual sense. If you don't do these, you feel that you don't have a beginning and an end.

Arriving at the finish banquet, watching everyone mingling, greeting each other, and talking about the future of this drama together, Jin Li finally had a trace of reality.

It's over.

It's really finished filming.

Others were drinking alcohol, drinking drinks, and the atmosphere was very free.

No one specifically brought a wine glass over, insisting that Jin Li drink, and if she didn't drink, she wouldn't give face.

Chen Qin specifically told her about the finish banquet yesterday, searched online for how to tactfully refuse to drink, and practiced with Jin Li several times.

On the way here, Chen Qin also reminded Jin Li several times not to forget the practice yesterday.

It seems that Sui Sui Lingfang told her something privately. Chen Qin was determined to make her not drink a drop of alcohol, but Jin Li didn't like drinking either, and those practices were quite interesting, so she cooperated and learned a few times.

But nothing happened at the finish banquet tonight.

Even the people who found Jin Li were not many.

Xu Xu Wenwen and she were left alone, so they simply sat together and chatted.

"You are not participating in the finish banquet for the first time, right? Do you feel any difference between the finish banquet of a TV series and the finish banquet of a movie?"

Jin Li recalled and said honestly: "This is the first finish banquet I have participated in. Last time, "Ruyi Langjun," because I went to save the emergency, I left after filming the scenes. Later, they still had to film, so I didn't participate in the finish banquet."

She smiled: "But the crew was very loving and specifically prepared a finish cake for me. At that time, the atmosphere was very pleasant, just like now, very free."

Xu Xu Wenwen looked at Jin Li a few times, wanting to say something, but didn't say much in the end.

She only said: "Director Zhong's crew is a bit different from other crews. Among the directors I know, only the crew managed by Mo Xiaosheng can compare with him. They are all strictly managed."

"Strictly managed?"

Jin Li asked puzzledly, "Is it very strict? I think it's okay."

Xu Xu Wenwen smiled: "We go to work on time and finish work on time. If there is anything, we let the assistant communicate with the field staff. We didn't participate in the internal affairs of the crew, and we didn't see it, so it's normal that you don't understand."

"Now it's useless to tell you this. After you stay in a few more crews, you will be able to feel the difference."

Jin Li nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When it was late, Jin Li discussed with Xu Xu Wenwen and returned to the hotel together to say goodbye to Director Zhong's table.

Director Zhong drank some alcohol and talked a bit more.

He looked at the two and said: "You are the new generation actors with not bad acting skills I have ever seen. You may become popular very quickly, but you must be cautious and keep your original intention."

Director Zhong's assistant reminded on the side: "Director, one of them has been in the film and television circle for three years, and the other was once popular all over the country. Both have a sense of proportion."

Director Zhong smiled and patted his forehead: "Drunk, forgot that your identities are not simple."

Xu Xu Wenwen and Jin Li both smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."

Director Zhong had a very good impression of the two.

Jin Li's acting skills are like a piece of uncut jade, which can be carved well again.

And although Xu Xu Wenwen has the arrogance of young people, she can also bend and stretch and doesn't add trouble to the crew.

Although both are very famous, compared to those top-tier little fresh meat and little fairies in the circle, their professional attitude is nothing to say.

Jin Li thought of Sister Fang's explanation and took the initiative to open her mouth: "Director Zhong, if there is a chance in the future, I want to cooperate with you again."

Director Zhong said: "That is definitely possible, as long as the performance of this drama is not bad."

Someone asked: "What if the performance is bad?"

Director Zhong smiled and said: "Then I guess I won't dare to film for three years."

Hearing this, Jin Li couldn't help but look at Director Zhong a few more times.

It seems that Director Zhong is also very uneasy about this drama, but he never said it. At least when filming, he never showed such worry.

Jin Li and Xu Xu Wenwen walked outside and waited for the car together. Xu Xu Wenwen returned to the bathroom halfway.

Chen Qin and Xu Xu Wenwen's assistant stood on the side of the road and chatted, talking about the interesting things that happened in the crew.

Jin Li also joined in.

She had nothing to share. In the crew, she was either filming or reading, but it didn't prevent her from being in a good mood and being a prop on the side.

The car arrived, and Xu Xu Wenwen also came out. Everyone took the car back to the hotel together.

They participated in the finish banquet of "Dream Builder" up to here.

When Jin Li returned to the hotel to rest, she heard them saying in the WeChat group that they were going to continue to the second place.

The energy is really vigorous, and it is really happy!

As if unloading a heavy burden, Jin Li slept extremely comfortably tonight.

And Xu Xu Wenwen, who was next door to her, spent a sleepless night.

When she went back to the bathroom, she ran into Director Zhong and plucked up the courage to ask him about acting.

With her current level, can she not play supporting roles in the future, but play the heroine?

Zhong Zhong Wentai thought for a while and said: "Yes, you can polish it again, you can play the heroine. Your current acting skills are better than many new generation actors, but you have to take the strength route, which is different from the idol route."

Xu Xu Wenwen suddenly asked: "Director Zhong, how are my acting skills compared to Jin Li?"

Zhong Zhong Wentai was a bit surprised: "You have cooperated with her, you should have noticed it."

Xu Xu Wenwen smiled bitterly: "Yes, I can feel it, but I am thinking whether Jin Li brought a bit of true color performance, so she could suppress me."

Zhong Zhong Wentai didn't answer clearly, only said: "You haven't seen the public welfare film Jin Li filmed yet, you can go and see it when you have time."

Holding such a doubt.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Xu Wenwen immediately searched for Jin Li's public welfare film to watch.

Both roles have a strong desire for knowledge.

One is to benefit mankind through knowledge, which is beneficial for thousands of years. The other is self-improvement, and after learning, revitalize the mountain village.

Although these two roles are somewhat similar, under Jin Li's interpretation, they are completely two acting styles!

Xu Xu Wenwen let out a long sigh and completely gave up.

No wonder Director Zhong let her specifically watch the public welfare film. If she had seen it earlier, perhaps she could have accepted the fact that Jin Li's acting skills were outstanding earlier.

Xu Xu Wenwen tossed and turned in the quilt, thinking vaguely before falling asleep:

She wouldn't just give up like this.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, she will continue to work hard!

"Director Zhong's pressure is great, which director's pressure is not great when filming a biography?"

Sui Sui Lingfang set off in person to pick up Jin Li, not returning to the company, but turning to the Fang Fei headquarters halfway. Jin Li had to make arrangements for the walk without stopping.

It is September 15th now, and there are not many days left until the 23rd.

Last time Jin Li thought that if she didn't finish filming, she would ask for a day off to walk the show, which was unrealistic.

Not to mention flying from the country to abroad, just the flight time would take seven or eight hours. After landing, she had to rehearse, adjust the fit of the clothes, and makeup.

Not to mention having to train to walk the stage, etc.

Just say it's the 15th now, and it's already a bit rushed. The models hired by Fang Fei started preparing in August.

For well-known clothing brands, the fashion week walk every year is very important. It is held only twice a year. This is an opportunity to express the brand's clothing concept this year to the whole world.

If Jin Li doesn't finish filming again, Sui Sui Lingfang will take the initiative to contact Fang Fei and withdraw her walk quota this year.

Fang Fei has called twice to confirm because of this walk, one time more urgent than the other.

Sui Sui Lingfang thought, if Fang Fei calls a third time, this walk opportunity will also be blown.

So as soon as she picked up Jin Li, she stuffed a tablet to Jin Li, letting her look at how models walk the show, as well as some stage walk tutorials taught by well-known models.

Whether it is useful or not, look at it first!

Jin Li also watched for an hour. When resting, she chatted with Sui Sui Lingfang about what Director Zhong revealed last night.

Sui Sui Lingfang continued: "Actually, in terms of biography, if it weren't for Director Zhong to film it, I wouldn't let you take it. But if you change to a director with a smaller reputation, the resistance will be heavier, and it will die faster.

Last time netizens said your academic qualifications were low and you were not worthy of acting, only exposing this problem, which is already not bad. At least the netizens resisted only you, not this drama.

Director Zhong is willing to film this drama, and the netizens' scolding is already considered less. This is all the strength brought by the previous "City Drifting Diary." Even if netizens feel he can't film well, they are willing to give a chance."

Jin Li was thoughtful.

Sui Sui Lingfang sat in the back seat, sitting side by side with her, and added:

"But you don't have to worry very much. According to my estimation, after this movie is broadcast, it is more likely to sink into the sea and not set off a ripple."

Jin Li was silent, "Sister Fang, when you persuaded me to take "Dream Builder" at the beginning, you didn't say that."

Sui Sui Lingfang smiled: "I wasn't wrong at the beginning. Director Zhong Zhong Wentai is in charge, bringing his own popularity, and he is a big director. The quality of the movie filmed is guaranteed. Since he dares to film, he must have a bit of certainty."

She changed the subject, "But it doesn't mean that every movie filmed will explode.

This is like writing a novel. How many novels are updated in a day, but how many can be seen?

Not to mention that now AI writes novels. Recently there is a trending search, that daily update of 4,000 is not as good as AI one-click completion. How do you compete with machines, and how do readers know that the novels they read are written by real people?

Novels are afraid of being the same, and film and television dramas are also afraid of being the same. Wanting to stand out from it is extremely difficult. And "Dream Builder" is a biography theme, a cold type."

Sui Sui Lingfang said very definitely: "If there is no official support, who would film it?

Director Zhong is willing to film, which can guarantee quality, but it does not mean that the audience will buy it.

A few years ago, there was a movie of the same biography type, which invited big directors, big stars, top-tier little fresh meat, and powerful movie kings to participate in the filming.

As a result, what was the box office of that movie? It had long been cold!

So I understand Director Zhong's pressure very well, but no matter what, being able to film it is very helpful to you."

Jin Li also understood.

Many jobs are not for the sake of being popular, stars may just be to maintain exposure.

And many movies are not necessarily able to achieve results after filming.

Stars go to film, maybe just to open up a new career and get a new stepping stone.

She needs an opportunity to enter the film circle, and Director Zhong feels that she is suitable to be the heroine, so this is done.

Based on Sui Sui Lingfang's analysis, no matter what others think, Jin Li has lowered her psychological expectations a lot.

Hurriedly came to the Fang Fei headquarters.

What came into view was a building with a sense of design. Although it was for clothing, there were not many clothes inside, but there were many dazzling color collisions.

Every piece of color on the wall tiles and floor was different, and the color collision in each area was also different.

Sui Sui Lingfang's excited voice came from her ear, "Is this the legendary 'Color Inspiration Hall'? Sure enough, there are many colors!"

Seeing Sister Fang so excited, Jin Li couldn't help but look a few more times, still feeling that this place was a bit like...

A colorful kaleidoscope, which can be changed into another color with a random turn, making people dazzling.

She didn't understand this aesthetic, but it didn't prevent her from respecting their expression.

Those who engage in art always have some extraordinary pursuits.

It's just that Jin Li is more worried now that they can't find the office hall well. Each area is about the same to them.

Fortunately, there is someone guarding the lobby on the first floor.

Hearing Sui Sui Lingfang's movement, someone came to them, recognized Jin Li, and took her to the fitting room without saying a word.

Jin Li finally saw the dress named "Fire."

Before, she only watched through photos, but now seeing it with her own eyes, she only had one feeling:

Too beautiful!

This piece of clothing changed Fang Fei's usual style and was not made into a cheongsam, but into a dress.

Dazzling fiery red covered it, dividing the levels through gradient colors.

Its design is very bold. The tail part did not collect the line, but presented a free and loose expansion, looking very casual.

Jin Li stepped forward and touched it gently.

She found that this was actually through careful stitching and tailoring, creating a free and romantic atmosphere.

A familiar yet strange female voice sounded from behind: "How do you feel about this dress?"

Jin Li said without thinking: "Very beautiful."

"Very different."

"It is very unique."

Finally, Jin Li paused and said softly: "I feel it seems to have life, just like a dazzling moving fire."

This dress is not designed to be old-fashioned. From the top to the hem, it is a very fluffy design, and there is no place to highlight the body lines.

Rather than saying it is a piece of clothing, it is better to say it is a concept for the development trend of clothing in the future.

In Jin Li's eyes, it is very charming.

Dai Xueling smiled lightly, "I really didn't look wrong, you and 【Fire】 are really a match."

Jin Li recognized her and was about to say something, but Dai Xueling took the lead and said:

"I won't say polite words, you go and try the dress first. You won't have time to rest until the official walk." ===== CHAPTER 173 =====
