Chapter 215: Play to the End
Lian Baozhi stood where she was for a while, then walked toward the room where the director was.
Of course, she didn't want to come up with some bad moves.
With her current status, even if she were down and out, she wouldn't need to specifically bribe the director. At most, she would say a few nice words to flatter him, and she wouldn't be willing to do more.
So Lian Baozhi came over this time to threaten.
"Knock knock!"
The door was knocked, and the assistant director and the director were thinking of ways. Hearing the knock, the assistant director responded and went to open the door.
Opening the door, he found it was Lian Baozhi, and he was surprised.
What kind of wind is blowing today? Stars lining up to come to the door?
The assistant director observed Lian Baozhi's expression. Although the corners of her mouth were smiling, the smile looked gloomy and heavy, a kind of smile that wasn't really a smile. She was probably coming with bad intentions.
Lian Baozhi said: "Two directors, can I open the door?"
The director said impatiently: "Open, open, open. Everyone has so many things to do. If it were a male star, there wouldn't be so many things."
Lian Baozhi pulled the smile on her face and said very calmly: "Director, you are joking. Two men alone in a room, maybe the paparazzi will think you are gay."
Director and Assistant Director:...
She walked casually to a corner and leaned against the wall, quite close to the door, both able to keep watch and leave at the first opportunity.
The director asked with a dark face: "Is there anything you want to find me for?"
Seeing that the director was not polite, Lian Baozhi was not polite either, and said straight to the point: "Yes, did Li Xunfang come to you today, wanting to kick me out of the variety show?"
The two directors looked at each other. No wonder Lian Baozhi would come to the door; it turned out the news had leaked.
Without waiting for the director to reply, Lian Baozhi continued: "Director, I have been very attentive to filming this program and have contributed many wonderful shots. If placed in any variety show, it could explode, and the topic degree would definitely be full. I believe you know that too."
Male and female stars can rely on their looks to get ahead. Today it's this one suppressing that one, tomorrow it's that one suppressing this one. Naturally, they can also rely on their bodies to get ahead.
It's not like stars don't market their figures.
It's just that figures usually belong to the field of male stars. Just showing some abdominal muscles can make people scream, while female stars just showing their shoulders to show their career line will attract crazy pursuit from the media—
"Do you have any feelings for the male star you are partnering with?"
"The male star is so much older than you. Do you feel like you are kissing your father when you film a kiss scene with him?"
"Do you think the sacrifice is big for this play?"
"Will someone keep staring at you?"
Because they suffer too much malice, it is easy to make people think about it, so female stars rarely rely on their figures to get ahead.
But it's just rare, not a dead end.
As the social atmosphere becomes more and more open, women are also willing to wear beautiful clothes to show off their figures, not for anyone to see, but for themselves to appreciate.
And Lian Baozhi's thinking is more open and bold. Her outstanding and full figure is both her weakness and her armor. She enjoys the eyes of others staring at her and doesn't feel ashamed of it.
It is precisely because of Lian Baozhi's thinking that she shows her figure generously, and netizens really eat this set.
The director was silent.
He also felt that these materials were put into the variety show, whether they exploded or not, but the topic degree was definitely enough, so he had been tolerating the two female stars tearing each other apart on the show.
But now...
Lian Baozhi suddenly laughed softly and said in a low voice: "I understand your concerns, but I will put my words here too. If you kick me out, I will expose it."
The two directors suddenly looked up at Lian Baozhi, their expressions suspicious.
Lian Baozhi said frankly: "Yes, it's just what you think. Anyway, I have already complained about LP once. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. It's not impossible to complain about *Run with All Your Might* again. I believe the Roast Assembly would welcome me to go again."
"You can kick me out, but I will retain the right to expose, and you are the ones who violated the contract first."
The assistant director's mouth twitched: "We can pay."
Lian Baozhi smiled: "I don't want your money, I just want to play to the end with you."
Now even the director's face was not good.
After Lian Baozhi finished this sentence, she turned and left the room.
She didn't know how the director communicated with Li Xunfang. Anyway, early the next morning, Li Xunfang was still filming with a dark face, and she didn't receive any notice of being fired.
Outside the camera, the two were at odds, ignoring each other, as if they each owed the other fifty million.
Inside the camera, one was smiling brightly, the other was smiling gently, sisters holding hands, doing tasks so united and friendly.
The speed of changing faces made the other three resident guests unreachable.
A resident asked quietly: "Are these two reconciled?"
The older star shook his head: "Have you ever seen people who have reconciled be so stiff outside the camera?"
Su Jiyue vaguely understood something. It should be related to that night.
Anyway, she only needed to know that Lian Baozhi was not kicked out.
On the other side, Jin Li's filming was also going smoothly.
The crew had already filmed the third death.
The person who died this time was a retired general, who was killed by a blunt object piercing the back of his head.
Although the film Deng Zexu filmed was not in the order of the script, he had always followed the order of the task's death line.
In the process of everyone's death, Jin Li also experienced several inner dissections of Vera, and her acting began to sink again.
The sinking here is that she would also do some micro-expression details, but it was not as deliberate as before, but instead diluted the arc of the expression.
It belongs to the kind where you know she did the details, but her details are very light, which won't make people always care about the details, but instead, through these subtle details, it makes people sink deeper.
Deng Zexu discovered this change in Jin Li for the first time, so he changed a filming method.
Originally, as long as Jin Li's performance didn't make mistakes, he would pass it.
But now, he had higher requirements for Jin Li, changing from passing once to reshooting many times.
The veteran actors also noticed Jin Li's transformation and held this young person in high regard.
"She has great spiritual intuition."
"Having gone through the phase of outward expression, she has begun to act with inward restraint; that is no easy feat."
A silent, muted performance is far less eye-catching than an ostentatious one, yet it can strike deep into the hearts of the audience.
At one moment becoming still, at another falling into thought, and at another beginning to fathom the character's inner world.
Greed, sin, cowardice, suspicion... as the storm descends upon this island, everyone is put to the test of self-examination.
Is death the only peace to be found in a place where the soul finds refuge?
Jin Li suddenly thought of the true mastermind behind this film; can his actions truly be considered justice?
The more she pondered, the quieter she became, yet when acting, she was all the more vibrant and vivid.
