Chapter 193: Leisurely Slow Life

Jin Li interviewed a total of 5 teachers.

Each teacher had a different teaching style; some, even when teaching online, were very passionate, as if they were in a large classroom.

Some had a quiet style, preferring to discuss things face-to-face with Jin Li like friends.

Some would explain the knowledge first, then have Jin Li practice problems, identifying gaps from the incorrect answers...

Jin Li ultimately chose a private female teacher with a gentle style. She really liked the face-to-face discussion method, which gave her more inspiration and helped her enter a focused state of "getting twice the result with half the effort."

After choosing the teacher.

Jin Li immediately took two classes totaling 3 hours, grinding away the afternoon. She left one hour in the middle to do test papers, during which she would open the live stream to accept supervision from netizens.

After finishing the class, she also closed the live stream.

Jin Li let out a long sigh, leaned back in her chair, and looked up out the window, seeing the pink afterglow of the sunset again.

Today's scenery was very beautiful; the sky was a golden-pink, like a high-end oil painting.

She rotated her neck, feeling that she might need to go to a Daoist temple to pray. Perhaps she had been studying too hard lately, and her energy was being consumed quickly.

But there was no other way.

There wasn't much free time left for her to study, and she wasn't studying full-time, so she had to work harder to barely keep up with the normal learning speed of students in school.

After casually eating dinner at the Chenxi Entertainment cafeteria, Jin Li returned to her apartment.

In the March Sky group chat.

Yan Xingdong sent a message: 【dd, can we gather in half an hour?】

Chen Lin: 【1】

Luo Yi: 【1】

Gu Cheng: 【1】

Jin Li also typed a 1 with interest, then discovered that Qi Guan Mingzhu also responded with a 1 very quickly.

Yan Xingdong directly initiated a video call, and everyone entered the multi-person video.

He got straight to the point regarding the filming of "Leisurely Slow Life," "It's set for filming on the 28th of the end of the month. There will be selective simultaneous live streaming, and it will be released the following week after editing. Do you have any good theme ideas?"

Chen Lin pondered for a while: "Go to an anime convention?"

Yan Xingdong rejected it without thinking: "No, there are too many people, it's hard to arrange."

Luo Yi: "Indoor games?"

Yan Xingdong didn't look at the video, but turned to look at Luo Yi beside him: "What exactly is it like?"

Luo Yi said slowly: "Drink tea, chat, and play Chinese chess."

Everyone suddenly fell into a silence, all looking at him with a somewhat indescribable expression.

This kind of hobby...

Young but acting old?

No, it should be that although the body is young, the mindset is already aged.

Seeing them silent, Luo Yi thought they didn't know how to play Chinese chess, and added very down-to-earth: "I can also play Fight the Landlord and Mahjong."

Yan Xingdong was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head: "Indoor filming alone isn't enough with these elements. I feel that as a comeback show for the variety program, the theme isn't grand enough."

It was Gu Cheng's turn. Gu Cheng said very straightforwardly: "Outdoor sports. Recently, our country's tennis players won the Olympic championship, hasn't that set off a tennis craze? Let's do a tennis sports episode."

Qi Guan Mingzhu suddenly said: "This is good, it's best to add a soccer one too. The contrast between the two sports will be as tragic as it gets."

Jin Li rarely got it, and laughed: "You're really mean!"

Qi Guan Mingzhu glanced at her: "I think the mermaid advertisement you filmed for Duomi is quite good. If I didn't think it was difficult for you to learn scuba diving temporarily, otherwise I would have insisted on you showing off synchronized swimming."

Jin Li retorted: "Just keep treating me as omnipotent!"

Gu Cheng suddenly blurted out a sentence: "Cardcaptor Sakura · Jin Li."

Jin Li looked over in astonishment, and said incredulously: "Gu Cheng, when did you become so naughty, actually daring to tease me!"

Her dignity as an older sister!

A flash of deep laughter passed through Gu Cheng's eyes, and he raised the corners of his mouth: "No, in my eyes you are indeed omnipotent and full of vitality, just like Cardcaptor Sakura."

Jin Li held back her laughter, kept a straight face and said: "Even if you are complimenting me, it is wrong for you to discuss me like this. Next time, just say such things to me privately. Don't say it in front of everyone, give me some face."

The others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was Jin Li's turn to offer advice. She thought for a long while before saying:

"How about cooking? Make it into a food program, or a program selling food. I think the barbecue episode before had a pretty good reaction, and food programs are all much the same, so planning is very convenient.

This time, let's not do barbecue, change to other food, or open a food cart ourselves, or everyone go together to explore the food night market."

She felt that doing it this way was simple, which is why she said it.

Yan Xingdong was thoughtful: "Is it similar to the mode of Chinese Restaurant? It's not impossible. This theme is very ordinary, but also common, and relatively easy to design. As for that outdoor activity—"

He paused, "The idea is good, but don't you think it's too tiring? Do you want to be more tired filming a variety show, or more relaxed?"

The others thought about it and voted for food one after another, even Gu Cheng and Qi Guan Mingzhu were no exception.

Two words: lazy.

With the theme confirmed, the meeting for "Leisurely Slow Life" ended, and the next was personal rest time.

The others in March Sky and Qi Guan Mingzhu exited the video call very tacitly, and in the blink of an eye, only Jin Li and Gu Cheng were left.

Jin Li was still thinking about which subject's test paper she should do, when Gu Cheng asked her: "Did you find the teacher today?"

Jin Li came back to her senses and said with great interest: "I found one that I think is quite suitable. That teacher likes to communicate and exchange with me, guiding me with the attitude of a friend. If you are free tomorrow, let's listen together..."

Gu Cheng and Jin Li started chatting here.

Chen Lin also privately poked Qi Guan Mingzhu, very calmly made a video call, and chatted with her about the coconut water sent over some time ago.

"I'm drinking it, it's quite delicious, and the packaging is beautiful. Sister Pearl, your taste is really good!"

First, it was a compliment as usual, then Chen Lin asked her what anime conventions she had attended recently, what hot-blooded anime she liked to watch, and tried hard to find a topic.

If he couldn't find one, he could still bring out the big killer move of games!

Yan Xingdong didn't drag the group down either, and took the initiative to find Xi Sister Meng Ze, asking if she was there and if there were any shoujo anime she thought were good to recommend.

Even if there was no topic, he had to try hard to find one.

Yan Xingdong kept in mind to try hard to chat with the other party first; once they were familiar, the relationship would be familiar.

In the whole villa.

Luo Yi walked around and found that he was the most idle, a lonely person.

Luo Yi:???

He shook his head and sighed like a little old man.

Young people, how can falling in love be more interesting than being single? You all can't see through it!

Early the next morning.

Jin Li continued to punch in at the company. There was still some time before the filming of "Leisurely Slow Life," and she would enter the crew to film after not long.

Jin Li planned to take time to do character biographies in the evening recently, and familiarize herself with the characters again.

She specifically asked the director if she needed to enter the crew early to feel the atmosphere of filming in advance.

The director was instead flattered and said: "No need, no need, everything will be arranged according to your schedule. Just enter the crew within the specified time."

Jin Li: "I can go in and experience it now."

The director then said embarrassedly: "But the venue hasn't been rented yet. How about you go to the island for a vacation and feel the atmosphere of the isolated island in advance?"

Jin Li then understood the operation mode of this crew.

Different from Director Zhong's pursuit of excellence, the "And Then There Were None" crew was a small crew, and the investment amount was not abundant, completely coming in on a tight budget.

To be honest.

Even the TV series Jin Li filmed before felt richer than "And Then There Were None." Before entering the crew, she had a different feeling from the previous two crews.

This director had a feeling of holding her up.

Jin Li felt it very clearly.

This feeling was a bit subtle. No one dislikes being valued by others, but in the crew, if the director is not the sole controller and has delegated this power to the actors.

Jin Li didn't know what would happen, but she had a premonition that it wouldn't be too wonderful.

"When I am about to enter the crew, I will communicate with the director again and let him treat me as an ordinary star."

Jin Li thought so, walked out of the elevator, and headed to the lounge.

"Jin Li!"

Suddenly, a voice came, Jin Li turned her head to look, and found it was He Yixuan.

He Yixuan asked somewhat hesitantly: "Sister Jin Li, can I ask you about the crew?"

Jin Li saw something and said: "Let's go to the lounge to talk."

He Yixuan nodded quickly.

After they left, other stars watching couldn't help but gather together, whispering.

"Why did He Yixuan call Jin Li? Is she trying to curry favor with her?"

"Maybe the agent has something she needs to pass on."

"I felt He Yixuan was very arrogant before. As a second-tier star, just because she was brought by Sui Lingfang, she has always enjoyed high-quality resources... But didn't she try her best to avoid being in the same frame as Jin Li before?"

Someone said with unclear meaning: "Gong Jiajia and He Yixuan have a good relationship. Gong Jiajia has always greeted Jin Li enthusiastically, and even said outside that they have a good relationship, and I don't know how much care she has received openly and secretly. I'm afraid He Yixuan is jealous!"

"Haha, a high-minded nature, also can't escape the fate of bowing to popularity!"

And the two who entered the lounge were discussing another matter.

He Yixuan asked Jin Li for advice humbly: "Sister Jin Li, how to balance the mindset in the crew?"

Jin Li couldn't help but be startled, "Mindset?"

She thought He Yixuan was going to ask about acting.

But if she really asked about acting, she would be helpless.

After all, she was very proficient in the skill of "drama queen" in the Heavenly Realm, this was completely a true-to-life performance.

She asked: "Did you encounter anything in the crew?"

Jin Li remembered that a drama He Yixuan acted in was the third female lead, and it was exchanged from New Sharp Entertainment. She didn't know what price Sister Fang paid.

Or maybe no price was needed, just to deepen the relationship with New Sharp Entertainment.

After He Yixuan finished filming that drama, she hadn't entered the crew for a while, why did she bring up this question now.

He Yixuan took a deep breath and told about her encounter in the previous crew.

She really couldn't understand, so she wanted to ask Jin Li.

"There are too many miscellaneous people in the crew, some people are very gossipy, deliberately walking in front of me to speak loudly, the words said are also very disturbing, and they are spreading false news in secret..."

Jin Li listened for a while and probably understood a little.

He Yixuan was still too pretentious!

She wanted to sell a good image in front of the director too much, wanted to maintain the stability and harmony of the crew too much, so she kept tolerating those people and things.

As a result, she tolerated and tolerated.

Others said more and more excessively, and she couldn't help but have her mindset explode!

Jin Li's eyes curved and she smiled, saying easily and casually: "Yixuan, why don't you stop treating yourself as a star."

He Yixuan was stunned and couldn't help asking: "What kind of statement is this?"

Jin Li said: "As long as you don't think you are a star, then your mindset can be opened up, and you can be yourself more freely. If it were an ordinary person, if others found fault with you for no reason, wouldn't they fight back?"

He Yixuan nodded hesitantly: "I would scold the person who deliberately found fault for three hundred rounds."

Jin Li glanced at her, not expecting her to have such fighting power.

"That's right, you open up your mindset. When I enter the crew, I won't think I'm a star, and I won't have star baggage. I'm just an ordinary person, and I have my own joys, angers, sorrows, and joys.

If I encounter someone deliberately finding fault, I will also say it back to their face. Correct if there is any, and encourage if there is none. You don't need to impose too high requirements on yourself."

She paused, "Blind tolerance is undesirable, it will only make others think you are weak and bullyable. Appropriately returning the color, even if it goes to the director, don't be afraid."

He Yixuan looked at Jin Li.

Jin Li was also looking at her, with a confident smile on her face, and said softly: "Behind you, there is Chenxi Entertainment supporting you!"

He Yixuan's eyes suddenly became hot, and she turned her head slightly.

Half a year ago, she didn't think the company was very powerful and could help her.

But after more than half a year, think carefully.

She is making progress, and Chenxi Entertainment is also making progress, gradually being recognized by the industry, and also gaining the admiration of some people in the circle.

And all this was brought by the person in front of her.

At noon, Jin Li ate with Sui Lingfang.

Sui Lingfang asked curiously: "I heard you ran into He Yixuan this morning, and even went to the lounge to chat alone?"

Jin Li nodded and smiled: "Really nothing can be hidden from you. Don't tell me, you were tipped off by other stars?"

Sui Lingfang smiled faintly: "Where do I need to be tipped off? Other stars were standing at the washbasin when I went to the restroom, probably deliberately saying it for me to hear."

Jin Li was curious: "How did those people pass the word?"

Sui Lingfang said faintly: "Probably that He Yixuan wants to put down her status and hug your thigh, and also that she was given many recommendations and still not satisfied, asking you for recommendations, and not being focused on her own announcements, etc."

Jin Li glanced at Sister Fang: "Then what about you, what do you think?"

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows: "So didn't I come to ask you face to face? What did she chat with you privately?"

Jin Li: "Asked me some questions about how to adjust the mindset in the crew. I combined my own experience and gave some answers, hoping it would be helpful to her."

She changed the subject and pointed out: "Sister Fang, I feel you have some prejudice against He Yixuan. You still remember the matter of her wanting my announcement before!" ===== CHAPTER 194 =====
