Chapter 179: In everyone

Lv Shanjie laughed, satisfying Lian Baozhi's mood for eating melon.

"It is said that she had to enter the "Changle Palace" crew to film all day today. She was filming fine in the morning, but in the afternoon, she should have received the news that Fang Fei officially announced Seeing Jin Li as the spokesperson, so she didn't film anymore. Originally, there was a big night scene in the evening, but she skipped it."

Lian Baozhi laughed, "Is this a mental breakdown?"

The news from the crew spread so fast; it seems everyone is a melon-eating fun-seeker.

After eating the melon, Lv Shanjie seriously brought up another matter, "I think we can snatch Li Xunfang's announcements."

Lian Baozhi was stunned. Wait, how did eating melon reach her own head?

"The route I take is different from Li Xunfang's. Announcements suitable for her aren't necessarily suitable for me, and our images have a big gap. If it were the old me, I could snatch one, but now I can't snatch it, right?"

Before LP collapsed, she was known as the "sexy and bold" otaku goddess.

After LP collapsed, she stepped on LP without hesitation, and her style had changed to a "straightforward" persona.

To be honest, although she is first-tier, every time she participates in announcements, other first-tier celebrities rarely talk to her, and those second- and third-tier small celebrities don't dare to come up.

What they fear is that if she is unhappy, she will explode the news. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes.

Therefore, entertainment industry revelations are really not something you can reveal just because you want to.

If it weren't for the urgency to change to a new image, Lian Baozhi and Lv Shanjie wouldn't have chosen to reveal LP's fierce news on the roast conference.

Once the news is revealed, advertisers, investors, including artists in the circle, will all stay away from her.

Lian Baozhi's popularity had long been falling.

Lv Shanjie said: "It was very difficult to snatch before, but now anyone with eyes can see that Li Xunfang is declining. She can't compete with Seeing Jin Li; this is a signal.

Before, no one dared to snatch her announcements for fear of being retaliated against, but now it might not be the case. Once she is not as strong as before, there are plenty of people who want to pull her down."

Lv Shanjie changed the subject.

"We don't have enough to snatch variety show announcements, but we might be able to try TV series announcements."

Lian Baozhi said uneasily: "Sister Shan, I don't know how to act!"

Lv Shanjie said strongly: "You have to know even if you don't. Compared to variety shows, the exposure effect brought by TV series is better. I see Li Xunfang accepted two costume dramas at once; I'm afraid she already regretted it. Let's try to see if we can snatch her second costume drama."

Lian Baozhi said hesitantly: "That's a TV series Chenxi Entertainment set up for Li Xunfang. The quality might not be good, right?"

Lv Shanjie pondered: "This is really hard to say. If it were very bad, Li Xunfang's team wouldn't have taken a fancy to it. They hate it now, doesn't mean the script is bad. When celebrities accept a drama, personal perception occupies the majority."

Some dramas look like hits at a glance, but they can't stop some celebrities from not wanting to film, fearing controversy after filming.

Li Xunfang is in this situation now. Even if the quality of these two dramas is up to standard, after being designed by Chenxi Entertainment, she probably wants to get rid of them.

What they need to do now is to see how to snatch this piece of cake without anyone knowing.

After Lian Baozhi finished listening to her analysis, she said without objection: "Okay, I listen to you for everything."

……

Not long after Seeing Jin Li finished the call with Xi Sister Meng Ze, she received a message from Xi Sister Meng Ze.

【OK, already negotiated with Lianhua. She is coming over to be my guest singer. We decided to sing the group song "Yi Yao"】

Seeing Jin Li recalled the song "Yi Yao."

How to put it, this song is relatively lyrical and gentle, not suitable as a competitive track, but very suitable for the vocal lines of Qinglian and Sister Meng Meng.

Out of grasp of the stage, this song is most suitable for them to sing. If they changed to other songs, they might not be able to perform so stably.

They have more than a dozen group songs. The difficulty of this song is not great, and choosing this one in the end also means compromising with time.

Rehearsal is definitely not possible tonight.

Tomorrow is Friday, Qinglian will fly over to practice with Xi Sister Meng Ze, and they have to perform on Saturday night. Whether Qinglian can restore her previous state after not singing for a long time is also a problem.

Thinking this way, "Yi Yao," which is not very difficult, is really the most suitable for them.

But once this song is chosen, Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but frown.

It is basically a refusal to enter the next round.

After all, in the singer-helping-singer segment, every singer will definitely use their big moves.

Seeing Jin Li sighed. This is the helplessness of competitive programs, right? Three months of long-term ranking, every week there will be different accidents and surprises.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, everyone can never predict which one will come first.

Taking advantage of the time she still has, Seeing Jin Li opened the script of "And Then There Were None" and worked hard to write character biographies.

The character she is playing is a teacher.

In the original work, this teacher seems very innocent, her profession is also legitimate, and her performance on the isolated island is also very normal.

But she also has her own sins to atone for.

In the original work, she was the tutor of her lover's younger brother. In order for her lover to obtain the property, she stood by and watched when the brother drowned while swimming for the first time, leading to his drowning.

She has no legal responsibility, but her lover left her because he saw through her intentions. Later, by chance, she told the judge about this.

This character stayed until the end on the surface, and although her scenes were longer than others, they weren't much longer.

After all, this is a story of 10 people. Not only do they have to divide time for everyone to tell their deaths and sins, but they also have to give people time to think on the big picture.

Since it is a remake, the script will of course make some changes.

Just as there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, the script of "And Then There Were None" also added another direction of thinking from the director and screenwriter.

Seeing Jin Li grabbed time to finish the original work and compared it with the adapted script, finding that the screenwriter had intensified the personality of each person.

The boundary between good and evil became very distinct.

Some characters felt relieved when they died, repenting for the mistakes they made all their lives. Death is a relief for them.

But some characters, even when they died, were unrepentant until the end and did not realize their mistakes.

And the teacher played by Seeing Jin Li stood on the side of evil.

She didn't feel ashamed of the sin of standing by and watching, but her suicide and death were just influenced by the desperate atmosphere on the isolated island.

Even if she killed the last person, she still couldn't escape the predetermined fate. The bizarre deaths of one person after another completely crushed her spirit.

Finally, she also ended her life in the way predicted by the nursery rhyme.

The prophecy originally made for crime happened to confirm the prophecy after the teacher's death. This closed loop is incredibly stunning.

Seeing Jin Li wrote down notes brush-brush-brush.

This novel didn't spend much ink to show the criminal methods, let alone have a soul character to peel the cocoon layer by layer. What it has is the understanding and interpretation of human nature.

When facing the edge of life and death, sin and punishment, when past actions are uncovered, some show innocence, some think it is irrelevant, and some are deeply repenting...

The final big boss, the judge, after completing the justice in his heart, also decided to end himself with a gun.

He seems to have a fearless heroic spirit, but when he called the guilty people to this isolated island and used means beyond the law to convict them one by one, can such behavior be called "justice"?

Human nature, it can be said, has been played through.

Seeing Jin Li wrote down the last word of the character biography, read the content from beginning to end, and found that she didn't have much personal analysis of the character, but preferred to analyze the whole drama.

She thought to herself, perhaps this is the charm of classics.

It seems to use characters to tell stories, but in fact, the story controls people from beginning to end.

Just falling to the character itself, acting to the end, is this based on the story's design to show step by step, or did the character's personality finally make such a choice? Who can say for sure?

Seeing Jin Li not only analyzed it herself but also searched for many reviews online, deepening her understanding of "And Then There Were None" from different perspectives.

——Everyone has an isolated island in their heart. It seems to be full of people, but it is actually decadent and lonely.

This isolated island in the story can also correspond to the side of human nature in everyone's heart that is trapped by their own sins, humbleness, and darkest side.

Seeing Jin Li put down her pen, exhaled a long breath, and suddenly showed a bitter smile.

First acting as a great person, then acting as a classic, Sister Fang is really trying to toss her to death!

The scripts she picked for her are all so "weird."

For a moment, she didn't know if Sui Lingfang thought too highly of her, or if she looked down on herself too much.

Seeing Jin Li felt a lot of pressure. After deciding to take "And Then There Were None," many thoughts flashed through her mind, but there was never a thought:

She didn't want to film.

On the contrary, she felt blood boiling for being able to film such a script.

The next day, the weather was cool.

Sui Lingfang sat in a car with He Yixuan and Gong Jiajia, telling them the precautions for filming later, while Seeing Jin Li's car led the way in front.

The total endorsement advertisement for Domi Cosmetics had already been negotiated. It should have been filmed when filming "Dream Builder," but it was pushed until after filming.

Although Fang Fei's advertisement is also very important, everything pays attention to first come, first served. Seeing Jin Li has to solve Domi's advertisement first.

The group drove to the headquarters of Domi Cosmetics.

In the car, Gong Jiajia looked around and asked curiously: "Sister Fang, will we be in the same filming room as Sister Seeing Jin Li later?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "Of course not. She is scheduled for the third floor, and the whole floor is vacated for her filming. You are scheduled for the second floor, and there will be other photography personnel responsible."

Gong Jiajia said regretfully: "Thought I could see Sister Seeing Jin Li's filming scene."

Sui Lingfang smiled: "If you film fast, I can take you up to see it, to see what the filming room of a top-tier celebrity is like in advance, so you can have an impression."

Gong Jiajia looked at He Yixuan, "Sister Yixuan, do you want to go see it?"

He Yixuan nodded, "Yes, I'm also very curious."

Sui Lingfang said tirelessly: "You two must grasp this opportunity well. If it weren't for Seeing Jin Li's relationship, you wouldn't have been able to take down these two endorsements. If not for anything else, even for Seeing Jin Li, you must work hard..."

Gong Jiajia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, not noticing that He Yixuan's expression was a bit faint.

She looked at Gong Jiajia and thought, newcomers are really good. They just joined the entertainment industry not long ago and think that by relying on diligence, they can mix in the circle.

She is different.

She has long been immune to the set of chicken blood and moral kidnapping.

"So we are going to film at Fang Fei's side the day after tomorrow, and we have to catch a flight tomorrow night?"

In Seeing Jin Li's car, Chen Qin confirmed the itinerary with her; she had to book the ticket in advance.

Seeing Jin Li nodded and said: "According to the announcement, that's how it is. You book it first, use that card of mine. This kind of itinerary cannot go through the company's account."

Driver Xiao Cheng asked while driving: "Giving Domi two days to film, don't know if it's enough."

Seeing Jin Li said calmly: "It should be enough. If it's not enough to film during the day, I'll continue filming at night. These two days must be livered down; Fang Fei's side cannot push the date."

And Domi's side, it has been delayed too long, and it cannot be pushed anymore.

Chen Qin asked: "Working overtime at night to film for them, will there be overtime pay?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled and didn't speak.

Driver Xiao Cheng answered: "There is no such thing as overtime pay in the entertainment industry. This is different from normal work. If you can't finish filming, you continue filming. You must act according to the contract."

Chen Qin nodded: "Okay, I see the "Dream Builder" crew takes weekends off and never works overtime. I thought other announcements were like this."

Seeing Jin Li pondered: "I haven't filmed many dramas, but from Xu Wenwen, I learned that in movie crews, "Dream Builder" seems to be quite rare. I don't know what other crews are like."

Chen Qin made an itinerary record and said with a smile: "If it's very rigorous, then it tests my ability as an assistant. At least I don't have to be terrified and think I'm eating for free!"

Seeing Jin Li and Driver Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing.

When not filming or running announcements, Seeing Jin Li's team is indeed the most relaxed.

This time, Seeing Jin Li returned from Paris after walking the show and entered the recuperation period. Her rest was a holiday for the team.

It's a real holiday.

Other celebrities, when resting, still think about posting beautiful photos to operate, but Seeing Jin Li is different; she has been studying.

Chen Qin and Driver Xiao Cheng didn't receive a private message from Seeing Jin Li during their holidays.

They wanted to know Seeing Jin Li's movements, so they had to go to the livestream room to watch them themselves.

Oh, have you been studying?

Then it's fine.

Boss studying = nothing = team nothing to do = continue holiday.

If Seeing Jin Li hadn't suddenly notified Chen Qin to go out to film commercials, Chen Qin would have felt a bit panicked receiving her salary.

As a life assistant, she could actually be so idle?

What should she do if her artist is too independent?

This salary is received with shame!

At the same moment, Gu Cheng, busy with leisure, didn't forget to call Yan Jianqiao on the way to run announcements.

Yan Jianqiao is the director of the script "Assassination" and the person who has communicated the most with Gu Cheng recently, surpassing the call duration between Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li.

When Gu Cheng called, Yan Jianqiao hadn't woken up yet, and the alarm clock hadn't even rung, but he was woken up by the phone ringtone.

As soon as he saw the caller ID was "Gu Cheng," he had a headache.

Yan Jianqiao turned over, reached out to cover his ears, and muttered like a spell: "I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear..."

Soon, the phone ringtone stopped, and Yan Jianqiao felt comfortable, but the next second, his phone vibrated "ding-dong ding-dong" again.

This time it was a WeChat bombing.

Yan Jianqiao sighed, picked up the phone to look, and suddenly his face changed. He immediately called Gu Cheng.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"

Chen Lin yawned, leaned his head against the window to sleep, and bumped into several bags.

He touched his head, turned to look at Gu Cheng, "Your phone has been ringing, aren't you going to answer it?"

Gu Cheng said lightly: "Not in a hurry."

Chen Lin tilted his head, feeling strange. Wasn't it quite urgent when calling before? Now it's not urgent again.

After a while, the phone ringtone hung up and turned into a message from WeChat.

"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz, buzz buzz..."

Gu Cheng didn't even look.

Then the phone ringtone rang again. She still didn't rush, and had time to pull a "Five-Three" from her bag, spin her pen, and felt she could solve a math problem first.

Others were annoyed by the vibration. Yan Xingdong said: "Luo Yi, go check Gu Cheng's phone, what's going on?"

Yan Xingdong sat in front, Luo Yi sat in the back, between Chen Lin and Gu Cheng.

Luo Yi glanced, raised her eyebrows: "Director Yan is calling. What's going on? Didn't he not answer when Orange called before? Now he's rushing to call back."

Yan Xingdong "tsk"ed, urging Gu Cheng to answer quickly.

"It's not like you're dating, what are you acting like love-hate? Answer quickly, we still need to make up for sleep."

Gu Cheng answered unhurriedly.

Yan Jianqiao's voice came immediately, asking anxiously: "Seeing Jin Li also wants to invest in my drama, is this true?"

Gu Cheng asked back: "Why do you sound so excited?"

Yan Jianqiao is also in his twenties, a young and sharp director, only a bit older than Gu Cheng, and the two didn't use polite words when communicating.

Yan Jianqiao said without concealment: "That's Seeing Jin Li! The koi in the entertainment industry. Which of the dramas she acted in and the variety shows she participated in isn't popular? If she is optimistic about my drama and wants to make an investment, then I have even more confidence!"

Gu Cheng said: "I showed her the script, and she is indeed interested in investing."

Yan Jianqiao's expression moved: "Then can you pull Seeing Jin Li over to act—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Cheng.

"Don't think about it, impossible. She has already accepted other dramas. Besides, you haven't even modified the script; how can you let people participate?"

Yan Jianqiao sighed and grabbed his head fiercely.

"Gu Cheng, it's not that I don't want to modify it into a movie script, but there is so much content in the TV series. Every one of them is the essence. Converting it into a movie requires different entry points and perspectives!"

Gu Cheng proposed: "Then what if it's expressed in two movies? Split into two parts, the first part writes about the youth period, and the second part writes about the adult revenge period."

Yan Jianqiao's eyes lit up, pondering: "Two parts... I have confidence in two parts, but can the theater side talk it over? Is it to film it all at once, or film a part first to test the water?"

Gu Cheng said: "Film it directly. Don't go to theaters; we'll make online movies." ===== CHAPTER 180 =====

Gu Cheng said: "Let's just film it directly. We won't release it in theaters; we'll make it a web movie."
