Chapter 201

Seeing Jin Li didn't quite approve of Sui Lingfang's statement.

"How can you be sure he is acting naturally, rather than his acting skills being good in the first place?"

The actor they were discussing was named Ren Zhangtao, a pure newcomer who didn't attend a film school but an ordinary undergraduate school.

The only thing worth mentioning was his cheerful and sunny appearance, without the powdery air of current idol male stars.

And Ren Zhangtao played the playboy Marston in the crew, who was also the first character to die.

Although Sui Lingfang couldn't see Seeing Jin Li's expression, she could hear her lack of confidence just from the tone of her voice.

She just didn't believe it emotionally, which didn't mean she didn't believe it rationally.

Sui Lingfang said in return: "Whether he is acting naturally or not, I believe you already have the result, so I don't need to say anything more."

Seeing Jin Li was silent for a while, rubbed her face, and sighed:

"You're right. Ren Zhangtao does put a lot of pressure on me. He is smiling all day in the crew, without any pressure, and has a very good relationship with many seniors.

I originally thought his performance while filming would be different, but I didn't expect him to be in a very relaxed state while filming, just like in daily life."

Seeing Jin Li thought of the scenes filmed today, couldn't help but pause, and said with a solemn expression:

"He is even more relaxed while filming than in daily life; he is simply acting the playboy naturally. Could it be that his daily activities are either partying or having fun?"

Sui Lingfang couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Jin Li was a bit anxious; if it were her usual calm and rational self, she would definitely not ask this question.

An actor's acting experience is certainly related to their own experience, but it doesn't completely follow the experiences they have had.

Some people haven't been to prison, but that doesn't prevent them from acting out the demeanor of being in prison.

Some people haven't been high-level executives, but that doesn't prevent them from acting out the decisive decision-making of high-level executives.

Sui Lingfang said: "Seeing Jin Li, you feel he is acting naturally based on his performance in daily life and filming, but my judgment method is different from yours; I judge from his family background."

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but be stunned.

Sui Lingfang waited specifically for Seeing Jin Li to join the crew and experience a day of crew life before telling her how extraordinary this crew was.

She was afraid that if she said it in advance, it would put pressure on her acting, or even make her a bit afraid to join the crew.

Although Seeing Jin Li might not necessarily be afraid.

But as an agent, she had to think of a foolproof plan.

Now that Seeing Jin Li felt a lot of pressure in the crew, Sui Lingfang felt she could tell her about this crew.

On one hand, it could relieve her pressure, and on the other hand, it would also make her not care too much about her own shortcomings in acting.

Sui Lingfang said: "Ren Zhangtao is actually the only son of Best Actor Ren and has always been well protected. I only knew this news after Chenxi Entertainment invested in this drama."

There are actually not many actors in the industry who can be called Best Actor.

Best Actor is selected every year, and people are nominated every year, but Best Actor is not produced every year.

The selection committee feels that no one can bear the weight of Best Actor, preferring to leave the award vacant rather than forcing it on one of the candidates.

Sui Lingfang: "As the only son of Best Actor, Ren Zhangtao has been exposed to many actors with excellent acting skills; his father is his best object of observation.

But if he really had talent in acting and wanted to enter the entertainment industry, his father would have paved the way for him long ago, instead of waiting until after he graduated from college to let him in."

Fame should come early.

This is a golden rule in the entertainment industry.

It's not that late bloomers can't succeed, but the suffering endured is too much.

Why did others have to be late bloomers? Wasn't it because they had no opportunity in their early years?

With a father who is a Best Actor, there are plenty of opportunities.

That's why Sui Lingfang tended to believe Ren Zhangtao had no talent for acting, but Director Deng still invited him to perform, so it must be that this character's traits overlapped with his own.

"After knowing Ren Zhangtao's background, I also asked Director Deng if he specifically invited Ren Zhangtao to act because his father is a Best Actor. Director Deng said no without even thinking.

Director Deng said it was because Ren Zhangtao could play this role well and could act naturally, so he let him act. It just so happened that Ren Zhangtao was interested in remaking classics, so he took it.

That's why I asked you: do you think it's natural acting, or is his acting skill excellent in the first place? In this regard, as an actor in the same group, your feeling will be deeper than mine."

Seeing Jin Li pondered for a while and said affirmatively: "He is acting naturally; I didn't see any traces of performance in him. He enjoys filming in a very relaxed state."

Sui Lingfang said: "You will come into contact with more geniuses in the future. I believe the pressure he brings to you will not defeat you."

Seeing Jin Li sighed again.

The point now is not natural acting.

The point is that everyone's acting buff is fully stacked; everyone looks like a monster of hell-level difficulty, causing her, a mortal koi, to be unable to hold on.

It seems only Director Deng can have some topics with her.

Director Deng is a newcomer director; sometimes he even has to ask the actors for their opinions on the filmed scenes.

Just like sometimes after she finishes filming, she will ask the veteran actors for their thoughts.

Seeing Jin Li comforted herself, but who knew Sister Fang would drop another bombshell—

"By the way, forgot to tell you, Deng Zexu is also the son of a famous director. His father, Deng Chang, is still active in the film industry and can be considered a pioneering figure in Chinese cinema.

The movies Deng Chang filmed have a strong personal style, carrying a bit of satirical traits of gods and ghosts. People who like it will like it very much, and people who don't understand it will hate it very much.

The only pity is that Deng Chang doesn't film commercial movies much, saying to the outside world that he is afraid of flopping, so he has been spinning around in art films.

Oh, by the way, the horror movies he filmed have the highest box office in China."

Sui Lingfang suddenly thought of something and said: "'And Then There Were None' is a suspense movie, and the people dying one by one don't appear in the form of horror, but because this is an adaptation, Deng Zexu might borrow his father's style."

"Crack."

Seeing Jin Li seemed to hear the sound of herself shattering.

She said calmly: "Sister Fang, is there anything else you haven't told me about this crew? Tell me all at once; I can accept it."

Sui Lingfang covered her mouth and giggled: "Really nothing else. A famous director's son, a Best Actor's son, plus everyone else is a veteran actor, and you, a newcomer—that's it."

Seeing Jin Li:...

So, only she is a pure newcomer with no characteristics.

Seeing Jin Li was silent for a long time and said helplessly: "Sister Fang, I find you really think highly of me.

For the first movie, you let me challenge a high-difficulty character biography; for the second movie, you directly stuffed me into a classic adaptation drama, and the actors I'm acting with are one stronger than the other. My luck is really too good!"

Sui Lingfang said happily: "This is very good. You are a newcomer; stepping on all the mines that seniors have stepped on is an achievement that many people cannot reach.

And just because you are a newcomer, the audience won't have expectations for your acting. No expectations, no harm, right?

If you act well, that's an unexpected joy; if you act poorly, that's within reason.

Don't underestimate the gold content of the two movies you entered the film industry to shoot. Many famous actors want to shoot them but dare not shoot them because of this or that!"

Sister Fang is telling the truth.

Seeing Jin Li also feels that as a newcomer to the film industry, she is very lucky to be able to receive these two special types of dramas as soon as she enters the industry.

But pressure is one thing; if she cannot break through under pressure, then these two dramas are likely to be her only two dramas.

Seeing Jin Li is not as optimistic as Sister Fang thinks; the audience will not fall twice on a young actor.

She knows very well that her moat is not that deep, and the only thing she can rely on at present is the path of studying hard.

Unknowingly, she needs to rely on studying hard to maintain her physical health.

Her career also needs to rely on studying hard to maintain public favor.

Seeing Jin Li took a deep breath and said: "Sister Fang, my performance in this drama might not be very good, but I should be able to learn a lot of things.

Whether it's natural acting or veteran actors, their landing point is on acting. Although the pressure given to me is great, it also gave me a lot of nutrients. I will work hard!"

Sui Lingfang encouraged her: "Come on, I will also work hard to negotiate the next contract for you."

After hanging up the phone.

Sui Lingfang looked at the opening data of "Leisurely Slow Life" today, a flash of thought crossed her eyes, and she turned to dial Zhong Wenkun's phone.

"President Kun, what do you think about the matter discussed with you yesterday?"

After receiving Sui Lingfang's proposal about Seeing Jin Li yesterday, Zhong Wenkun attached great importance to it and held a group meeting that day.

The group meeting felt that it was doable.

So the next day, Zhong Wenkun proposed in the headquarters the plan of "creating a learning category in the Maozhao live streaming room."

He enlarged and bolded a person's name on the PPT, and that was "Seeing Jin Li."

At first, others saw the idea he proposed and felt it was inexplicable; they were just a live streaming website and didn't do videos.

Of course, this is not to say that video websites are not as good as live streaming websites, but if you really want to talk about it, the scale of video websites is much larger than live streaming.

Live streaming occupies the "instant" feature, but it also belongs to the video category.

Some bloggers don't like live streaming and prefer editing videos; many netizens actually don't watch live streams and prefer scrolling through videos.

If you really want to talk about it, live streaming is just a partition of video.

But for an app to develop, it must first have distinct characteristics. Maozhao started with live streaming, and they set a three-year plan at the beginning of the year—

Deeply cultivate the live streaming field and make live streaming bigger and stronger!

Now suddenly creating a learning category, and a category specifically for learning videos, don't you think it's a bit strange?

However, as soon as they thought of Seeing Jin Li, they all couldn't help but stop talking and listen to Zhong Wenkun's reasons.

Zhong Wenkun said: "This idea was actually proposed by Seeing Jin Li. She believes that she cannot always do learning live streams.

When she finishes the exam and goes to university, she cannot maintain such high-intensity problem-solving. Then how will the learning users we cultivated be retained by Maozhao?"

He specifically paused to give everyone some time to think, and then continued:

"We have never considered this problem, but after being proposed by Seeing Jin Li, I realized that a part of Maozhao's daily traffic is raised by netizens who study.

Everyone look at my analysis: the activity of Seeing Jin Li's live room fans, online duration, number of app logins... are all among the best among other anchors.

Others watch live streams, perhaps because of temporary hobbies, but learning has nothing to do with hobbies. This is a protracted war; on the contrary, it can absorb netizens in a large age range.

Therefore, rather than discussing whether to open a learning partition today, it is more about discussing whether we need to retain this part of the learning customers brought by Seeing Jin Li!"

Zhong Wenkun said every word with force.

After a meeting, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Everyone at the meeting expressed their own opinions, and everyone argued constantly, just like fighting with their mouths.

But the meeting was not for quarreling, and it was definitely not for the East Wind to overwhelm the West Wind.

It was to understand everyone's concerns, and if they want to retain this part of the customers, whether Maozhao's existing users can integrate.

Making an app also requires positioning and understanding the customers within the website.

There is no reason to do live streaming, but run to advertise to netizens who like watching sports events. Even if traffic is attracted, how many people can be retained?

Similarly, Maozhao couldn't retain netizens who like learning at all.

But it just so happened that the website had a Seeing Jin Li...

At this time, Zhong Wenkun received a call from Sui Lingfang.

He immediately answered, and after listening to Sui Lingfang's question, Zhong Wenkun pondered for a while and said:

"I personally tend to do it, but the voices within the website are not unified, and I'm afraid it will need to be discussed for a long time."

Sui Lingfang said happily: "This is a big event, and it should be discussed more. If Maozhao has any questions, you are welcome to find Seeing Jin Li at any time."

Zhong Wenkun thought to himself that if it weren't for Seeing Jin Li suddenly proposing this idea, Maozhao wouldn't have to hold meetings every day.

But this is also for the good of the website; Zhong Wenkun can distinguish good from bad.

He said: "Find a time, I must visit Seeing Jin Li; I am very curious about how she came up with this idea."

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "That will have to wait until Seeing Jin Li finishes filming."

On the internet, as soon as the variety show "Leisurely Slow Life" went online, it dominated the trending list again.

Last time during the live stream, Luo Fan was unknown.

This time in the variety show, Luo Fan was quite a big hit; three of the ten trending topics were his, and the remaining two were divided by Seeing Jin Li and Qi Guan Mingzhu.

【hahaha what kind of drink killer is Luo Fan?】

【He is really seriously watching drink videos and making them according to the guide (covering face)】

【As long as he looks at the comment section... he will know that many beautiful drinks are good-looking but useless (crying and covering face)】

【Family members, who understands, I will go to the bathroom if I drink XX Yakult (pain mask)】

【As long as a drink is mixed with three flavors, my stomach reacts immediately~】

【Am I the only one who is fine no matter what I drink?】

【Upstairs, understand the dragon fruit banana juice set (funny)】

"Leisurely Slow Life" resumed broadcasting and changed to monthly broadcasting. Tianding Entertainment actually has a lot of pressure, and internal opinions are great.

But because this is March Sky's group variety show, March Sky occupies a lot of discourse power. Becoming popular was an accident, but it still cannot change the essence of this being a group variety show.

So Zhang Guang still suppressed all voices and supported March Sky's decision.

Now it seems that giving them great freedom in this group variety show is right.

The resumption results are gratifying!

Zhang Guang's hanging heart finally let go. When he went out to greet other colleagues, he would say a few more words and ask them if they had watched "Leisurely Slow Life."

Not for anything else, just to make these colleagues sour to death.
