Chapter 221

After returning to the dormitory, Seeing Jin Li started a livestream and took out her "5-3" workbook to practice problems.

Recently, she had fallen in love with the feeling of practicing problems; as long as one gets started with science subjects, self-studying by comparing with the textbook is often not difficult.

On set, whenever she had free time, she would take out her textbooks to self-study. Self-studying during the day and practicing problems at night had already cultivated a set of study methods unique to her.

However, Seeing Jin Li occasionally looked at the livestream comments and found that the fans who had been watching her livestream had reached Level 9; these were all veteran fans.

And the most frequent comment from veteran fans recently was that they couldn't understand.

【I used to study along with Seeing Jin Li; whatever she studied, I studied, and when she did problems, I watched the screen and did them together. I could still keep up.】

【But ever since Seeing Jin Li said she was receiving some private tutoring and significantly reduced the time spent watching study videos, I've felt a bit overwhelmed when studying along with her.】

【Sigh, for the first time, I feel like I can't keep up with Seeing Jin Li's pace... I've thought about finding time to watch the videos, but I don't know why, without Seeing Jin Li's company, I'm never focused enough and like to slack off.】

Many Level 9 veteran fans commented "+1" under this, as they had the same feeling.

And they believed that as the difficulty of science subjects increased, the gap between them and Seeing Jin Li would only grow larger.

Seeing Jin Li couldn't get into a focused state while doing problems today precisely because she thought of this matter mentioned by the fans.

She looked down at the page where half an hour had passed but only 5 multiple-choice questions had been done, so she simply closed the "5-3" and opened the study video platform.

Netizens were also curious today why Seeing Jin Li kept slacking off, only to see her click on the self-study website interface and stop at the high school math topic.

Seeing Jin Li clicked on the calculator and started adding up the duration of each video. Converted, it would take 100 lessons to finish high school math. Each lesson was 50 minutes, so that was 5000 minutes, which was 83.33 hours.

Calculated at seven hours of work a day, that was 11.9 days.

This time was far beyond her expectations.

It wasn't too much; rather, it was too short!

But thinking about it carefully, it was quite reasonable; having knowledge instilled didn't mean mastering it, and practicing problems was also a process of deepening learning.

Since she discovered that watching study videos didn't take much time, Seeing Jin Li quickly made a decision: "I won't practice problems anymore. I'll have free time after filming, so I'll accompany you to watch study videos every day."

Having said this, she couldn't help but smile: "But you must keep up, because my speed at practicing problems is really fast. If you can't keep up for a day, you'll have to make up for it after class."

Netizens were a bit excited to hear her say this.

【She really is, I'm crying to death (╥╯^╰╥)】

【She's too good to me (puppy tears)】

【What virtue or ability do I have to meet such a study companion? We just felt we couldn't keep up without watching the teaching videos, and she ended up watching them with us T^T】

【Ladies, I want to tip Seeing Jin Li; why can't I find the tip icon?】

【Don't even think about it. Ever since Seeing Jin Li discovered the tipping function, she immediately turned it off. We can only turn our love into comments and come watch every time she livestreams...】

【I was originally just watching for fun and studying casually, but now, I suddenly feel that this college entrance exam isn't impossible to conquer!】

Seeing Jin Li already had a good reputation among netizens, and after this incident, it became even better.

Other celebrities pamper fans by trying hard to operate, posting more beautiful photos, and interacting more with fans.

If fans go to great lengths to pick them up at the airport, they prepare some gifts for the fans, like ordering milk tea.

But Seeing Jin Li's way of pampering fans was very different.

She didn't interact much with fans, and ever since she secured the top luxury endorsement contract for Fang Fei, the beautiful photos she used to post once a month had also stopped.

Yet she livestreamed every day, and even without talking to fans, the sense of distance from them was constantly closing.

And now, she was even willing to watch study videos with the netizens who couldn't keep up with the progress!

Even though Seeing Jin Li was very busy and didn't need to watch videos with private tutoring, she was still willing to do so, which moved the fans very much.

Never mind the fans; even the netizens were moved.

【Confirmed again by the eyes, Seeing Jin Li is a goddess sent by heaven to save a poor little thing like me! (Tears blurred my eyes. jpg)】

Seeing Jin Li didn't know that a small decision that didn't affect her own learning efficiency would make her reputation and public praise even better.

National favorability is something every celebrity pursues.

Although in the entertainment industry, being "black-red" is also being red, and having heat and popularity represents everything, if a celebrity's reputation is very good, they can actually get many opportunities not commonly seen in the circle.

After all, for many official, positive-image endorsements involving state institutions, the government primarily chooses celebrities with better reputations and won't consider choosing those with controversies.

Every path has a threshold, and a good reputation can lower the threshold by half.

If some people haven't felt it, it's because they haven't reached the level where they can come into contact with it.

At night, night fell.

Seeing Jin Li had just finished a set of papers and looked at the time; it was already nine in the evening.

Having sat in the car for a long time today, Seeing Jin Li's head felt a bit dizzy, and even though she entered a state of twice the result with half the effort later, she felt she hadn't fully exerted herself.

Seeing Jin Li simply said: "That's it for tonight's livestream. We'll see you tomorrow morning at eight. Everyone remember to prepare your '5-3'; practice problems for two hours first before watching two hours of study videos. It's still math."

Netizens' bullet comments scrolled by like water.

【Seeing Jin Li actually started playing study previews!】

【I won't buy it, I just won't. I'll just watch your papers. Even if I can't keep up, I'll force myself to keep up. I'm just stubborn (dog head)】

【Okay baby, I'll order the math subject of '5-3' tonight, and I'll be there tomorrow morning!】

【Am I the only one who noticed her start time is actually at eight in the morning!!!】

【Tomorrow is the weekend, and as a worker who doesn't have to go to work, getting up at eight in the morning is really too fatal!】

However, there was no way; Seeing Jin Li was just that strict... and ruthless when it came to studying.

The plans she set, unless an emergency occurred, generally wouldn't be changed.

Netizens had already started tagging Chenxi Entertainment's company account on Maozhao, asking the company to act like humans and arrange as many announcements as possible; they really didn't want to get up at eight in the morning!

And on Seeing Jin Li's side, not long after hanging up the livestream, she received a call from Qiu Qiwen.

Qiu Qiwen's voice was as bright as ever; she was also a very straightforward person who loved and hated clearly.

"Seeing Jin Li, I saw you ended the livestream. Are you not planning to continue tonight?"

Seeing Jin Li shook her head: "Not livestreaming anymore. I plan to relax and go rest."

She took the initiative to ask: "Sister Qiu, is there something you need?"

Qiu Qiwen said embarrassedly: "There is something I want to ask you. I saw the post you made. I heard the 'Assassination' crew where Gu Cheng is wants to find a young actress. I want to try it out. Do you think it would be very awkward for me to play a high school student?"

Qiu Qiwen was older than Seeing Jin Li.

Although there are many actresses in their thirties active on screen in the entertainment industry, there is a significant difference between the state of a thirty-year-old and a twenty-year-old.

Seeing Jin Li was only 26 (having passed her birthday), but she also felt it was hard to keep up with the thoughts of young people.

However, she became famous very early, so even after resting for a few years, she could successfully return to the entertainment industry.

Seeing Jin Li thought for a moment and said: "Sister Qiu, for actors, especially actresses, age has always been a false proposition. As long as you want to play a high school girl, I believe you can adjust your state to be like a high school student."

She changed her tone, "But I've read the script for 'Assassination' and know some of the director's arrangements. The director intends to find different actors to play the high school student and the adult female lead. Why don't you ask who is playing the adult female lead first?"

If the adult female lead is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, then it would be inappropriate for Qiu Qiwen to play a high school student.

A person's appearance cannot change too outrageously.

If it were her choosing the cast, she would definitely choose the same person to play the high school and adult periods, and use a younger actor.

Making someone look younger requires some difficulty; it's not just a facial state problem, but more importantly, an eye problem.

Actresses who have experienced many things, even if their eyes are bright, can still show some signs of weathering.

But the eyes of young people are different—bright and sparkling, making people happy at a glance.

The change in eyes is the fatal flaw of one person playing a character in different periods. If other actors aren't used, this flaw is unavoidable.

Since it's unavoidable, then starting from reality, is it easier to make "the old look young" or "the young look old"?

Seeing Jin Li leaned toward the former.

However, these were just some of her small thoughts. She was just an investor and couldn't point fingers at the filming; too many and too messy voices wouldn't be good for the crew.

Qiu Qiwen was stunned and said enthusiastically: "You're the one who considers things thoroughly. Why didn't I think of this? I'll have my manager go find out."

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "Let me help you find out. The director of 'Assassination' is a newcomer and is wary of you all; he might not necessarily reveal it."

Qiu Qiwen was surprised: "Seeing Jin Li, do you also want to act in 'Assassination'? How do you know so much?"

"Not acting, I just participated in the investment for this play," Seeing Jin Li said lightly.

Qiu Qiwen took a light breath and sighed: "You're awesome. How long have you been acting, and you can already invest in film and television dramas? Why don't I have your foresight!"

The smile on Seeing Jin Li's face deepened.

Must say, it was still a bit secretly satisfying.

After hanging up the phone, she made a video call to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng was still running programs outside; he answered in a hurry. At this moment, he was in the middle of a break, and March Sky was surrounded by a large group of assistants.

As soon as the video connected, Gu Cheng's huge face appeared in front of Seeing Jin Li, with distinct features, giving a feeling of being hit by a peerless beauty.

Seeing Jin Li took a while before saying: "Are you still busy?"

She could see Gu Cheng's eyes looking over, both sides in a very close position, his face as if it were about to stick to her own.

But this was just a visual illusion; Seeing Jin Li's video could fully see her upper body.

Gu Cheng said in a low voice: "Still busy, but not busy now. We are resting. Do you have anything urgent?"

Seeing Jin Li didn't dawdle and asked directly: "An acquaintance called to ask me about 'Assassination,' wanting to play the young female lead, but she's older than me and worried about clashing with the adult actress, so I want to ask who is set for the adult female lead?"

Gu Cheng: "Jian Liting."

He added: "Jian Liting is 28, older than Qiu Qiwen, but their styles are too different. Even if Qiu Qiwen could lower her face to compete, she would be screened out in terms of appearance."

Although Seeing Jin Li didn't explicitly say who came to her, Seeing Jin Li wasn't a person who liked socializing and had a relatively narrow circle of friends. They talked and video-called every day, so Gu Cheng guessed it was Qiu Qiwen after a casual thought.

He didn't think highly of her.

After Seeing Jin Li hung up the phone, she searched for photos of "Jian Liting" and found that this person was jokingly called a "strength-based player with no popularity" by netizens.

Her appearance is dignified and atmospheric, following the Qingyi route, capable of handling many types of roles, and her commercial endorsements are also quite good.

Because she debuted at the same time as Li Xunfang and also acted, she was often compared by netizens, and the result was Jian Liting's complete defeat.

Her acting skills are recognized as good, but she just isn't red.

Even if she has the opportunity to participate in state-produced dramas, she still isn't red.

She did find a few comments from Jian Liting's fans, asking her to interact more with herself, saying that as long as a little bit of Seeing Jin Li's luck could be shared, she might become red overnight.

【Tingting, you're just missing a bit of luck. Hurry up and become sworn sisters with Seeing Jin Li!】

Seeing Jin Li was sweating.

She called Qiu Qiwen again, only saying Jian Liting's name and omitting the other information Gu Cheng said.

Whether it's suitable or not, let Qiu Qiwen judge for herself.

Qiu Qiwen obviously also knew Jian Liting; upon hearing this name, her tone weakened by three points.

"It's actually her. I understand. My appearance is not just a little different from hers, and she's not much older than me..."

Not long after hanging up the phone, just as Seeing Jin Li was about to rest, she received another unexpected call.

"Wenwen, hello."

Xu Wenwen asked straight to the point: "Seeing Jin Li, hello, I hope I didn't disturb you. I just finished filming and got off work, returned to the hotel from the set, and saw your post."

"Gu Cheng's 'Assassination' crew wants to recruit a young female lead. Do you think I have a chance? I want to hear your opinion, can I?"

Xu Wenwen was someone she met while filming "Dream Builder." At first, their relationship wasn't good, but as they spent more time together on set, the two would often gather to discuss the plot and their respective performance methods.

In terms of acting, Xu Wenwen was far ahead of Qiu Qiwen.

And in terms of image, although Xu Wenwen didn't look like Jian Liting, the temperament of the two was somewhat similar. The key was that Xu Wenwen naturally carried a weak, scholarly air.

Just because of this temperament, it was actually very suitable for playing a high school student.

On the other hand, Xu Wenwen was younger than Qiu Qiwen.

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but think that Qiu Qiwen had accidentally leaked the crew's news, lost the "Dream Builder" pie, and then it was snatched by Xu Wenwen.

Were the two of them going to stand on the same starting line to compete again?

Seeing Jin Li said: "I can't make the decision for you. If you want to participate, go try it. If you really want to say, I think which actor is set for the adult period is more critical."

Xu Wenwen nodded and said: "Okay, I won't disturb your rest. Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Seeing Jin Li opened WeChat and found that the post she made in the afternoon had received many replies.

It seems this play was even more watched than she imagined.

For example, the members of Pink Girls, although they weren't interested in participating in "Assassination," all wanted to know which actress would be accepted.

And on the side of the veteran actors, they were very enthusiastic in leaving comments looking forward to Gu Cheng's first work.

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but smile; she had a premonition that as long as Gu Cheng participated in this play, the play was already half successful.
