Chapter 217: Near the End, *Assassination* Starts Filming!

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was December.

The *And Then There Were None* crew had already killed 6 people, and it wasn't far from the end.

Jin Li was still immersed in filming, watching the sea silently in her spare time, not saying much.

But what made Chen Qin relax was that at least when she looked at the sea, she wouldn't forget to do questions. It seemed that she had an agreement with Gu Cheng about learning. No matter how busy she was, she had to complete a task of memorizing words every day.

Chen Qin quietly told Sister Fang about this.

Sister Fang smiled lightly: "Jin Li is fine. You should take care of her diet more."

Chen Qin responded with a good.

The diet she arranged every day was also quite interesting.

When in doubt, worship the gods.

Chen Qin put the small wooden sign with the name of the food into the lottery bucket every day, and whichever one jumped out, she would make it. This was an extra meal for Jin Li.

The main food for three meals a day still followed the crew's boxed lunch.

As the day of the end got closer and closer, Ren Zhangtao also became active, asking Jin Li questions from time to time.

Chen Qin looked at him with a strange look.

When you need you, you don't appear, and when you don't need you, you bubble up, right?

When Jin Li was free, she would communicate with Ren Zhangtao, and if she was busy, she would be blocked by Chen Qin.

The crew here was orderly, and the entire Chenxi Entertainment was also developing steadily.

Xi Sister Meng Ze already had a resident music variety show. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the songs adapted every week were what she liked, and there was no pressure to sing.

On the show *I Am a Singer*, netizens recognized Xi Sister Meng Ze's strength, and on the resident music variety show, netizens also recognized Xi Sister Meng Ze's talent for adapting music.

She was a huge treasure, able to sing, dance, and adapt, and was held in a very high position by netizens.

In addition to the two major first-tier stars Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze, the second-tier stars pushed by Chenxi Entertainment were also developing well.

He Yixuan and Gong Jiajia were both key training objects, with one announcement after another, all arranged according to what suited them best.

One specialized in acting, stayed in the crew, and waited for the gathering to be broadcast.

One specialized in music, stayed in variety shows, and occasionally received reminders from Xi Sister Meng Ze, and the momentum was very strong.

Overall, Chenxi Entertainment could be considered flourishing.

He Yixuan finished the cameo of the fourth female lead in the previous crew, only rested for half a month, and then rushed into a new modern crew to play the second female lead.

"Sister Yixuan!"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came. He Yixuan looked up and felt that the artist who appeared in front of her was a bit familiar, but she didn't remember where she had seen him.

Cheng Zhizhi smiled shyly, his temperament was very clean, a bit like the neighbor's younger brother type, fresh and refreshing.

"Are you..." she asked hesitantly.

Cheng Zhizhi smiled and said: "You forgot me? We met on the stage of the *PICK~ Next Station Diva* finals before. You were brought by your manager, and I was brought by my manager."

He Yixuan suddenly realized.

"I remember, your manager is Zhang Guang, and your senior brothers are Sanyuetian. When my manager saw you at the time, she thought you were a layman and wanted to sign you!"

Cheng Zhizhi smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I admire you very much. I have watched the programs you recorded. Your acting is much better than mine. Please give me more advice in the crew!"

He Yixuan smiled lightly: "Advice is not worth mentioning, we learn from each other. By the way, what role are you playing?"

Cheng Zhizhi: "The male lead Zhang Xuan."

The smile on He Yixuan's face faded even more. Male lead...

She had acted in no less than three plays. In this fourth play, after three rounds of screening and striving, she finally won the second female lead.

When she met Cheng Zhizhi before, he was just a newcomer who hadn't debuted for long. It hadn't even been a year, and the campus drama he participated in could be the male lead.

He Yixuan said sternly: "Your acting is more powerful than mine. I should learn from you."

Cheng Zhizhi scratched his head embarrassedly, "No, no, this play was fought for me by Guangge, saying it was originally for Senior Gu Cheng, but Senior didn't like it, tried to recommend me, and then I was selected."

They were all fighting for resources. People's managers took the initiative to help ask for resources, and when she wanted resources herself, she was criticized by Sister Fang...

He Yixuan tried hard to suppress the sourness in her heart and said: "Then let's work hard together and strive to film this play well!"

Coming to December, Lian Baozhi's *Jia Ou Tian Cheng* also started filming.

She took an acting class for a month, almost pushed away all announcements, from morning to night.

Lian Baozhi didn't have any determination to "become a god of acting", and didn't expect herself to be amazing, she just wanted the first film and television drama she tried to not be filmed so ugly.

As the first trial work, if the acting and reputation are not good, then there will basically be no follow-up.

She couldn't decide the reputation of film and television dramas. This requires the efforts of all staff, but acting can still be controlled by herself.

Lu Shanjie stayed in the crew for three days, just wanting to see Lian Baozhi's performance and see if the crew was reliable.

Lu Shanjie unexpectedly found that this grass-roots team built temporarily was not as bad as she imagined.

Although the coal boss was skeptical about the investment in film and television dramas, because he started work very early, he paid very quickly, and the crew would not have the risk of capital rupture.

And Lian Baozhi's acting, to be honest, gave her an unexpected surprise.

Lu Shanjie didn't need to ask how the director felt. Just seeing the director always smiling when filming, she knew he must be very satisfied.

Before leaving, Lu Shanjie held a small meeting with Lian Baozhi and said: "I received news that the *Embroidered Uniform Guard* filmed by Li Xunfang finished filming last week, but it finished very low-key. Everyone didn't know, and it didn't spread."

Lian Baozhi raised her eyebrows, "This doesn't look like Li Xunfang's style."

Lu Shanjie was noncommittal: "I guess it might be because the quality is too poor, even Li Xunfang's team doesn't want to do publicity, so they plan to be low-key."

Lian Baozhi pulled the corners of her mouth, "Her mind is all on running variety shows. The director asked her to film, and should have expected this result."

Lu Shanjie: "I know you have a grudge with her on *Run with All Your Might*. Although you didn't quit the program team in the end, the program team also deleted your highlights, focusing on leaving Li Xunfang's.

If you are holding your breath, vent this breath in the *Jia Ou Tian Cheng* crew, act well, film well. If the reputation of this play is better than *Embroidered Uniform Guard*, you will win!"

She smiled and said: "At that time, I will definitely buy articles for you, let those gossip accounts step on her and praise you!"

Lian Baozhi breathed a sigh of relief, "I dare not think so much, I just want to finish this play well."

Lu Shanjie affirmed: "Believe me, after this play is broadcast, Li Xunfang will definitely regret it!"

Lian Baozhi seemed to be infected by her confidence, and the hesitation in her heart was swept away, leaving only firmness.

December, near the end of the year.

There are constant crews filming, and there are constant crews finishing.

While the crew Jin Li was in was finishing, *Assassination*, which Gu Cheng had been preparing, finally started filming.

This play was originally made as a TV series, but later because of the scale problem, it couldn't be filmed. Under Gu Cheng's suggestion, it transformed into a web movie.

It is easy to say that it was adapted from a TV series to a movie, but Yan Jianqiao was striving for perfection and dragged it for two months to change the script.

From the beginning of the preparation, it seemed a bit unsmooth.

And at the beginning of the filming, it proved this unsmoothness again.

"Cut!!"

"Li Xiue, your expression is too terrified. You just transferred, and you don't know what the clown game popular in this school is at all, so when you hear about this game, your first reaction is curiosity, and you have to actively join.

You are eager to join this game to better integrate into this class, but what have you performed? You know the future!"

In the busy crew, Yan Jianqiao shouted with a megaphone.

They were filming in a classroom, surrounded by a bunch of group actors acting as students.

Li Xiue hurriedly lowered her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, director, I will film it again!"

Li Xiue is a young actor found by the director, a proper high school art student, currently in the second year of high school, and the academic pressure is not heavy.

Because the image and temperament are good, the director sent her an invitation.

Li Xiue originally wanted to act, received the director's invitation, hit it off, and quickly signed the contract.

The speed was so fast that Tianding Entertainment was stunned.

Because at that time, Tianding Entertainment had already contacted a child star who had been filming for a long time in the circle.

That child star was in the second year of high school and wanted to participate in the art exam. After reading the script, she felt it was good. As long as the time could be adjusted to the winter vacation filming, she basically had no problems.

Everything was discussed, and they just signed the contract, but they didn't expect Yan Jianqiao to call directly and say that he had found the heroine for the high school period.

Zhang Guang:...

After Zhang Guang found out, he complained about Yan Jianqiao several times in private.

If he weren't the director and screenwriter of this play, and also participated in the investment, otherwise, according to this practice of stuffing people in without asking, he would have been kicked out of the crew long ago.

Fortunately, the young actor was found by Yan Jianqiao, but the actor who grew up was still found by Tianding Entertainment.

Afraid that Yan Jianqiao would stuff someone into the group again, Tianding Entertainment quickly knocked down a newcomer actor with good acting skills, about 25 years old, who had filmed no less than 10 plays and had been the lead in modern and ancient plays.

The scenes of *Assassination* are not complicated, almost all are shots of the school.

In order to allow actors to have more substitution, Yan Jianqiao filmed in the order of the script.

And just this opening scene, it took half an hour to film, and Li Xiue was stuck here when she heard about the clown game.

Yan Jianqiao said: "Rest for ten minutes, Li Xiue, come here."

The group actors dispersed, and Gu Cheng's assistant Xiao Tong handed him warm water to moisten his throat.

Xiao Tong said in a low voice: "Gu Ge, is the young actor found by the director reliable? Why does it look like she can't act at all? Isn't it said that she is an art student? Don't art students need to take acting exams?"

Gu Cheng drank water and said lightly: "Need, but she is in the second year of high school and hasn't had any acting training. She is a blank sheet of paper in front of the camera. Treat her as a pure newcomer."

On the first day of filming, because a small lens was stuck, it was a bit unworthy.

What was filmed on the first day was the heroine transferring to a new school. When the bell rang, the students in the class slipped away immediately to see who the protagonist of the "clown game" was today.

And among them, the heroine Li Feifei grabbed her desk mate and asked curiously what the clown game was about.

Yan Jianqiao was right. This purpose only needs to show the heroine's curiosity.

But Li Xiue had read the script and knew that the so-called clown game was actually a bullying game, and she would soon become the heroine in this game.

Before filming this scene, Li Xiue felt scared first.

Physical reaction is the most honest.

Li Xiue's current filming showed her true inner thoughts.

She was afraid of bullying, so she was rejecting the clown game, rejecting to act down.

But the bullying performed in the crew is not the real bullying in life. As long as you can distinguish the difference, there will be no problem with the performance.

What's more, this is only the first day of filming.

Just started filming, and she was so empathetic to the character's tragic encounter later, how should she film later?

If Li Xiue kept filming this scene badly, Gu Cheng thought, he would suggest Yan Dao to put the bullying scenes up for filming in advance.

Li Xiue's current performance is very suitable for filming those scenes.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng took out his phone and looked at it, and sent a few messages to Jin Li.

Gu Cheng: 【I joined the group】

Gu Cheng: 【First performance, a little nervous, the progress of the crew seems a bit unsmooth, the heroine is too nervous】

Gu Cheng: 【How is your play?】

After sending it, he put away his phone and waited to continue filming.

At the same time, here in Jin Li, her progress is getting smoother and smoother.

After the difficult stage in the middle, every scene had to be filmed three or four times by the director, Jin Li seemed to have come out of it, and it became a pass once again.

The later it got, the more stable her performance was.

Some staff watched her filming and suddenly found in surprise that the old drama bone acting opposite her would reshoot, but Jin Li didn't reshoot!

Even if reshooting, the problem was the old drama bone, not Jin Li!

Comparing this way, can Jin Li's acting be called an old drama bone?

The staff whispered on the side, discussing the changes in Jin Li's acting.

"I don't think it's that exaggerated. The old drama bone has filmed so many plays, it's too difficult to catch up. It should be that she is more in the play, understands this character well, and is in a good state recently."

"Yes, acting is also related to the actor's state. In the case of being in the play, it can be comparable to the old drama bone, but the experience is definitely not comparable."

"By the way, do you feel that Jin Li is becoming more and more like two people?"

"Yes, yes, yes, she in the memory is flamboyant and confident, full of ambition, but she in the villa is very haggard, with a feeling of being tortured by life!"

This extreme difference in performance is also the reason why everyone thinks Jin Li's acting is good.

She just acted out the sense of fragmentation of personality!

And in the crew at this time, Vera, played by Jin Li, sat in the living room again.

She stared at the sea not far from the window, and her eyes suddenly changed at a certain moment.

This moment of change represents that she fell into memory.

"Cut!!" Deng Zexu looked at this scene with satisfaction and shouted loudly: "Passed!" ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
