Chapter 226: Too Deep into the Play?
Qiu Qiwen's mood was a bit complicated. Knowing that the actor decided was not Xu Wenwen, she was a bit surprised, and at the same time felt relieved.
She and Xu Wenwen were not in a competitive relationship. She was first-tier, and Xu Wenwen was only a second-tier with relatively good strength. From the perspective of popularity, she won completely.
If it weren't for the "Dream Builder" incident, she might never have paid attention to Xu Wenwen.
She asked Jin Li: "Don't you consider going to this crew to guest star in some roles? Anyway, you are resting now."
Jin Li thought about it and said: "Forget it. Before I joined the crew, they wanted to find me to play the female lead, but I had already signed another drama.
Now although I have finished filming, the "Assassination" crew has had so many messes, they are overwhelmed, so I won't add trouble to them. Temporarily arranging a guest role might require modifying the script."
Qiu Qiwen said with a smile, "You might think that about other actors, but definitely not about you. I think the crew is dying for you to make a cameo, just to see if they can rub off on your koi luck."
Jin Li smiled and didn't think much, just taking it as a joke.
The "Assassination" crew found an actress, and all the investors felt a heavy stone fall in their chests, especially since this actor was Jian Liting, who had a good reputation in the circle, which made them even more at ease.
If they knew that Director Yan had thought about changing actors, they probably wouldn't be able to laugh now.
Sui Lingfang began to ponder the promotional events for Jin Li.
During the New Year, it was impossible for her not to participate in any promotional events, and the filming of "Relaxed Slow Life" was scheduled for next week.
This filming time would be relatively long, filming for a week directly, and filming the broadcast volume for the next two months.
After finishing "Relaxed Slow Life," then participate in a few award ceremonies, as well as various year-end summary banquets, and then it would officially enter the stage of lying flat (crossed out) — recuperating.
She flipped through the mailbox again and again, browsing the promotional events that came, and suddenly, Sui Lingfang paused and stopped at a promotional event.
"Wang Wang Livestream Public Welfare Charity Auction?"
Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows and became interested. Wang Wang is going to...
Interesting, really interesting.
Jin Li finished the livestream in Chenxi Entertainment's office, and it was already evening.
She stretched her body lazily, looking at the sunset in the sky outside the window, feeling that "the sunset is infinitely good, and today was not wasted."
Sui Lingfang knocked on the door and walked in, looking satisfied at Jin Li's state: "Jin Li standing by the window, the sunlight spilling in through the clear window, casting bursts of light and shadow on her face."
She didn't speak, but took out her phone and snapped a bunch of photos.
Jin Li cooperated with her lens and made various poses. She liked using the scissor hand, which was simply a classic photo gesture.
After a while, Sui Lingfang stopped shooting and admired the beautiful photos in the album, and couldn't help but say: "Your skin condition has been getting better and better recently. These pictures are sent out, and they don't need fine-tuning at all."
Jin Li leaned over to look: "Not to that extent, I didn't wear makeup."
Sui Lingfang: "As long as the lip color is sufficient, it is equivalent to wearing makeup. In the past, when I was commuting, I didn't have time to apply foundation, so I just wiped lipstick, and my face could be white by several degrees."
Jin Li didn't believe it at first.
But seeing herself with a good complexion in the photo, she had to admit that Sister Fang made sense.
Jin Li: "Then send it out like this?"
Sui Lingfang put the phone away instead: "No, we can be casual when we look at it ourselves, but we can't be casual with fans. I'll send the pictures to the fine-tuner later and let them fix it, trying to restore your true beauty."
Jin Li complained: "It's all fine-tuned, what's true and what's not?"
Sui Lingfang smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Go, let's eat first, and I'll tell you something on the way."
"Wang Wang Livestream Public Welfare Charity Auction?" Jin Li sat in the car and heard about this promotional event mentioned by Sister Fang, which was very unexpected. "Is Wang Wang determined to engage in the charity field?"
Sui Lingfang nodded affirmatively: "I also felt unexpected when I received this promotional event, so I checked it on the internet and asked someone to ask about Wang Wang's recent dynamics.
I found that in the past six months, Wang Wang's enterprising heart in the charity field has been very strong. It has suffered too much in this regard, so it wants to make up for it quickly."
As for where it suffered?
That is naturally caused by Maozhao.
At the beginning, Maozhao became famous by relying on Jin Li participating in public welfare livestreaming activities, and firmly grasped the variety show "Relaxed Slow Life," reversing its destiny, surpassing Wang Wang in publicity and promotion, and welcoming the largest download volume in history.
Up to now, it has strongly become one of the top livestreaming software.
If someone mentions Wang Wang, they will inevitably mention Maozhao.
Speaking of Maozhao, one will inevitably think of Wang Wang. The two companies can be said to be completely locked.
Originally, Wang Wang Livestream was the leader in the livestreaming software field, and Maozhao was still far behind. It was only because of the difference in the names of the two that it left some impression on the audience.
But now, Maozhao's active users, customer retention rate, etc., are completely not losing to Wang Wang Livestream.
Especially during the time when Jin Li was sitting in town on weekends, it surpassed Wang Wang in one fell swoop, which made Wang Wang feel very crisis-ridden, and it had to make up for it in a hurry.
Projects not done, hurry up to keep up.
Tracks not opened, follow suit.
Stars that Maozhao licked desperately, hurry up to pry the corner...
Sui Lingfang: "Don't tell me, Wang Wang's move is quite useful. In the past six months, it has held several large-scale charity activities, and its reputation on the internet is relatively good. Netizens like to see large enterprises do public welfare charity."
Not knowing what she thought of, Sui Lingfang smiled lightly: "So, didn't this hit you, wanting you to participate in an online public welfare livestream auction?
The auction is only open to stars, elites from all walks of life, and leaders. I looked at the invitation list, and it is still quite large. More than 10 first-tier stars have been invited."
Jin Li thought: "Did all those stars accept it?"
"Yes, maybe they knew you were the most difficult to deal with, so you were the last one they invited. Wang Wang Livestream specifically told me that the stars appearing on the list have all been invited."
Jin Li thought for a moment and decided to participate: "Time, place."
Doing public welfare charity is a good thing.
Once a person has power and money, they will always want to pursue some fame, or things like merit.
This is to give back to society and do good deeds, and she has always admired those great good people.
Sui Lingfang asked instead of answering: "Don't you consider Maozhao?"
Jin Li: "If Maozhao invites me to participate in public welfare activities, I will also participate if I have time. My cooperation with Maozhao is just a cooperative relationship, not a binding relationship."
Sui Lingfang appreciated Jin Li's attitude very much.
Public is public, private is private. Although the cooperation with Maozhao is deeper, it does not mean that she has to be tied to this software.
If Maozhao resents Jin Li because Jin Li participated in Wang Wang Livestream's public welfare, then they can be considered to know in advance what kind of company Maozhao is.
She said: "Your idea is very correct, and I also suggest you participate in Wang Wang's livestream. Doing public welfare charity is a good thing. We didn't have the ability before, but since we have the ability, let's participate more."
Sui Lingfang changed the subject: "But Maozhao's mood cannot be ignored. If Maozhao gets this news from news media, it will be a bit inconsiderate."
She pondered: "Let's do this, I will make a call to Maozhao in the afternoon and tell them about this first, even if it is a notification."
Jin Li nodded: "It's good to do this."
At the same time, the "Assassination" crew.
Jian Liting has been in the crew for three days.
If on the first day, everyone didn't know her strength.
Then, when it was filmed three times and passed for the first, second, and third day, and the filming progress was extremely smooth, the crew staff understood a fact:
This is a very powerful actor!
Compared to the previous newcomer actor, it is simply heaven and earth!
Gu Cheng, who has many rival scenes with Jian Liting, has a deeper experience. When filming, he felt a pressure.
This pressure was brought by Jian Liting.
Obviously, Li Feifei, played by Jian Liting in the drama, is the weak one. The weak one has no momentum in front of the bully, but her excellent acting skills can make Gu Cheng feel a suppression in emotional expression.
Gu Cheng felt that his emotions were not as intense as Jian Liting's.
Jian Liting's acting is called real acting, while his acting can only roughly imitate the surface without knowing it.
Gu Cheng thought about it again and again and decided to find Director Yan Jianqiao.
In a small room, Yan Jianqiao was carefully maintaining his camera, wiping it repeatedly with a cloth.
Hearing Gu Cheng's request, he pondered for a few seconds and said: "You want to reshoot, I support your idea. The scenes you acted with Jian Liting these days are different from the pictures filmed in the past. Your acting has become different."
He paused: "But the crew's progress has been dragged for a month and a half. If you want to reshoot the single scenes that have already been filmed, the progress will have to be dragged for another half month, which is equal to dragging for two months. The investors..."
Gu Cheng said without hesitation: "I will go to convince them. What I am worried about is whether it will cause trouble for other actors."
Yan Jianqiao waved his hand: "No, other actors are supporting roles, and they are not famous in the circle. They will all cooperate. It's just reshooting it again.
It just so happens that I also let them ponder how to act again, striving to polish this one better."
Speaking of this, Yan Jianqiao suddenly asked Gu Cheng a question: "What do you think of Jian Liting's acting?"
Gu Cheng didn't understand: "Her acting is very good. I have benefited a lot from it and learned many acting skills, so I realized my shortcomings."
Yan Jianqiao's expression was a bit solemn: "It's very good, good to the point of being a bit unreal. This is not the level that acting skills can play... but it may also be that I think too much, after all, she can adjust her mentality every time she films."
Gu Cheng didn't quite understand what Yan Jianqiao meant. When he videoed with Jin Li at night, after finishing a set of math papers, he mentioned it.
Jin Li repeated curiously: "Not the level that acting skills can play, could it be that she experienced it personally, so it doesn't look like it was acted out at all?"
She said so, Gu Cheng understood a little.
"Jian Liting's acting is very powerful, very real. This is the most real reaction I have ever seen when facing bullying, as if watching some documentaries."
Jin Li: "Maybe it's because the acting is too powerful, so it gives the director such an illusion. Actors who are too deep into the play will also come to such a state. Maybe she is into the play. You, as her opponent, should pay more attention to her psychological state."
Gu Cheng had never tried to be into the play. This was also his first time filming, so he specifically asked Jin Li for advice on the state of being into the play.
Jin Li said concisely: "The simplest judgment method is that you can't come out. The actor can't come out of the role she plays.
I have read the script of "Assassination." In the early stage, the female lead is in a hostile relationship with you. She dare not resist you. She is just a weak person.
So, according to the script's instructions, if Jian Liting can't come out of the role of Li Feifei, then at any time in the crew, even outside the play, she dare not look at you, and at the same time, she will feel deep fear of you."
Gu Cheng thought thoughtfully.
He had very little communication with Jian Liting. If Jin Li didn't specifically ask him to pay attention to her expression, he wouldn't pay attention.
When filming the next day, Gu Cheng specifically stared at Jian Liting.
From the scenes, her acting was impeccable, and every move made people feel that the substitution was full.
Originally, he felt that Xu Wenwen's expression was very good before, but people are most afraid of comparison. Compared with Jian Liting, Xu Wenwen fell behind instead.
Xu Wenwen's acting was only partially deepened, but another part floated on the surface, making people feel that she used skills.
But Jian Liting's acting made people unable to feel these at all.
—She seemed to have really turned into Li Feifei.
"Cut, passed!!!"
Following the director's order, Jian Liting sat casually on a flower bed to rest.
Gu Cheng thought about it and walked over with the script directly: "Sister Liting, I have some questions I don't understand, can you help me answer them?"
Jian Liting looked up and said with an unchanged face: "Where don't you understand?"
When the two were communicating, other crew staff were also watching silently.
Now they are more and more comfortable watching these two people. How could the days in the crew be so annoying in the past? Now the days are the days that workers should live.
Filming three times, passed!
Filming twice, passed!
Filming once, it's not that there is no!
So refreshing!!!
Gu Cheng opened one of the plots: "I don't quite understand what kind of performance is needed in this scene. The script just wrote smile, but I feel that the emotion can be more intense. Maybe changing to big laugh would be better?"
Jian Liting thought: "No, I feel that hooking the corners of the mouth and smiling casually is better. These things are like home-cooked meals for your role.
So from his psychological world, these things are not enough to stimulate him, and cannot bring freshness, so doing these things is a bit boring, you just smile casually."
Gu Cheng suddenly asked: "Sister Liting, are you okay?"
Jian Liting looked at him with confusion.
Gu Cheng said softly: "Your hand holding the script has been shaking. Are you very afraid of me?"
Jian Liting's expression stiffened. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
