Chapter 245: Red Carpet Battle, Love Rival Appears (6K)
Jin Li's eyes were slightly bright: "Tianding decided to let me perform?"
Sui Lingfang: "In fact, they hope more that this drama can flow away and stop losses in time, but due to the will of Sanyuetian, plus Zhang Guang's mediation, and Chenxi Entertainment decided to add investment again, so Tianding made concessions."
Jin Li was very surprised, "Chenxi Entertainment added investment? Sister Fang, I have never heard you mention it."
Sui Lingfang raised her head, put on a cool and dragging face, and said lightly: "You are busy studying every day, so I won't tell you the trade-offs inside.
Chenxi and Tianding held three meetings during this period, firmly demanding that you be the female lead, and your identity is also suitable.
Tianding saw that we insisted on filming, and reluctantly agreed to continue filming, but they still wanted to wait to see if there were more suitable female actors.
Unfortunately, they waited for a week and couldn't wait, and finally had to make concessions, deciding that you would be the female lead.
I won't tell you about the interest exchange during this period. You only need to know that Chenxi has fought for a great benefit for you."
Jin Li asked: "What benefit?"
Sui Lingfang: "You were originally an investor. Now the crew adds investment, and the dividend ratio is readjusted. We fought for you that you don't need to add investment, but the dividend ratio remains unchanged.
It is equivalent to the part you originally needed to add, all converted into the salary that should be given to you. In addition, the salary you can actually get is five million."
Jin Li "um" said, "As a female lead, this salary is a bit low."
Sui Lingfang: "The crew's funds are tight and can't open a lot of cash flow, so we used the salary you should get to offset the dividends."
Jin Li nodded: "I can understand, if it were me, I would do the same."
Sui Lingfang felt relieved. Although she knew that Jin Li would probably agree, she was also worried that she would have opinions if she made this decision for Jin Li in advance.
Jin Li is indeed very reasonable.
She continued: "But this is just basic interest. The biggest benefit Chenxi fought for you is not the dividend salary, but publicity."
"Publicity?" Chen Qin on the side couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it publicized under the banner of Gu Cheng?"
Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "If it were before, yes.
Publicity is biased towards Gu Cheng because he is popular and the drama can be sold, but everyone knows that the script is biased towards the female lead, so I requested that the publicity be equal billing for male and female leads, and open publicity together."
The publicity of film and television dramas is very important.
The direction of publicity represents the focus of that film and television. If the publicity is all carried by Gu Cheng, then even if this drama explodes, the benefits belong to Gu Cheng.
Even if everyone knows this is a big female lead drama.
But if the two are equal billing, Jin Li can also enjoy the dividends brought by the explosion drama. The most intuitive performance is the increase in salary.
In addition, the extra billing also involves other things, all involving the interests of stars, not the face problem that the outside world thinks.
Sui Lingfang didn't say that when Gu Cheng made the request for Jian Liting to withdraw from the crew permanently and add investment, her first reaction was to let Jin Li perform.
By reason, Jin Li couldn't get this cake.
This drama has Gu Cheng's investment, Tianding spends money on publicity, and Sanyuetian will also publicize with maximum strength, which will definitely explode, at least it can explode in the early stage.
Although the second filming is not smooth, industry insiders will definitely be able to recognize the joints.
If Tianding continues to film, this drama has a head.
So Sui Lingfang decisively let Zou Da break the news the next day, forcing the crew into an unfavorable situation, and then quickly contacted Tianding, under the banner of worrying about the failure of filming and deciding to save the emergency crew.
She originally wanted to settle the dust before telling Jin Li.
Didn't expect Jin Li to express her performance a few days later, which is even better, without spending effort to persuade.
The interest wrestling in this is far from as easy as the outside world thinks.
When Jin Li and Sui Lingfang were communicating, Sanyuetian also took another car to the awards ceremony scene.
Brother Guang mentioned the announcement arrangement after them on the car.
Sanyuetian has no holidays for the New Year. They have to run announcements from the second day of the Lunar New Year, and they can only rest for one day on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This is still Zhang Guang's mercy to let them go, otherwise according to the company's plan, they should go to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year.
They are not given free time on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It was Brother Guang who considered that they had to run announcements on Yu Lin Ling's side at the end of the year, and didn't have so much time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, so he declined the Spring Festival Gala production team.
Zhang Guang said: "Yu Lin Ling will call me in these few days to determine your endorsement status. If you can't get the domestic spokesperson, you will wait for a more powerful announcement intensity."
Chen Lin complained: "Don't, Brother Guang, I can't even do seven hours of sleep now, let us go!"
The other three were very calm, and Chen Lin played a one-man show alone.
He felt something was wrong, looked left and right, and asked: "Don't you feel tired?"
Yan Xingdong asked back: "Just a domestic spokesperson, do you think we can't get it?"
Luo Yi: "District domestic, it has long been officially announced. Yu Lin Ling has been dragging it for so long, it must be because they want to give us a big one, need to hold several meetings, and persuade more people."
Gu Cheng raised his head from the script and teased: "Little Lin, Brother Guang is deliberately teasing you. Only you will be fooled every time."
Chen Lin: "...... Obviously it is you who are old and calculating!"
Zhang Guang continued: "The drama 'Assassination' has been pulling for so long, and it has finally been decided. Jin Li will take over this drama, and it will start on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
Yan Xingdong and others were very surprised, turned to look at Gu Cheng, and found that Gu Cheng was also surprised.
"Jin Li?"
Gu Cheng was not as happy as imagined, frowned, and asked: "Why not notify me in advance? I didn't know before. She didn't audition, right?"
Zhang Guang thought about their friendship. Jin Li could take over this drama, Gu Cheng would be very happy, but now it seems that he is a bit opposed.
Zhang Guang asked: "Are your relationship not good? Audition? The crew is like this, and you need any audition? Wait for Yan Jianqiao to go bankrupt for the third time?"
Gu Cheng said seriously: "It's not this problem. The 'Assassination' script involves bloody and violent content. High-intensity filming will naturally cause huge pressure on people, plus the influence of the psychological level. Jin Li's body is weak, she shouldn't film this drama."
Gu Cheng paused and blamed instead: "Did you put pressure on her? Brother Guang, even if there are no actors coming, you can't rely on her investment to—"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhang Guang shouted, he was more confused the more he listened.
"So you mean, Jin Li's body is weak, this drama is not suitable for her... No, Gu Cheng, are you too worried about her?"
"This drama was not found by us, but her manager took the initiative to find us, saying that Jin Li could perform.
I can clarify the principle problem with you. Tianding did not force Jin Li to take this play at all.
In addition, you will invest in 'Assassination' because you are optimistic about the prospects of this drama. Jin Li is also very optimistic. How can she not perform?"
This rhetorical question left Gu Cheng speechless.
Yan Xingdong and others didn't say a word, picked up the fruit brought by the car, and ate melons to watch the play.
Chen Lin didn't know what he thought of, and picked up his mobile phone to send a message.
Chen Lin: 【Orange doesn't want Jin Li to perform, what is this mentality?】
Yan Xingdong: 【Old mother's mentality, afraid that the daughter's body is not good and can't accept it】
Luo Yi: 【Distorting this mood into parental love, I disagree. This is clearly a boyfriend's worry about his girlfriend!!!】
Those three exclamation marks represent Luo Yi's confirmation that Gu Cheng has fallen, and he has fallen not lightly.
Gu Cheng had a breath stuck in his chest, frowning and sending a text message to Jin Li.
He didn't want to question anything, but sincerely felt that this drama would bring great pressure to Jin Li.
If the pressure is not great, how could the two female leads have problems one after another.
He doesn't care about other actors filming this play.
But if Jin Li has a problem, that won't work.
……
The car drove into the underground garage. The stars waited in the lounge first. The organizer specially arranged a shuttle bus, and the appearance of each star was arranged in order.
The order Jin Li got was appearing in the middle and back.
Chenxi Entertainment only had her to get a participation quota. The company originally wanted to arrange one for He Yixuan, but He Yixuan's crew was still filming and couldn't spare time to come.
So Chenxi Entertainment only came with Jin Li. She scanned the lounge and didn't know any stars.
Originally thought it would be boring for an hour, but the stars who appeared in front had some problems, forcing the stars who entered later to make up forward.
Jin Li listened to the broadcast and found that she was afraid she would have to go on stage in half an hour.
The broadcast called a star to go out. The star was sitting in front of Jin Li. Hearing this, he couldn't help standing up and muttering:
"Here again, every time I come early, there is no good thing. Those little stars who appear first have so many moths
"Everyone wants to arrive late, damn it. Do they really think arriving late will give them a few more seconds of exposure? Believe it or not, the camera will be cut off entirely. It's a pity my company specifically bought me a mid-field seat..."
Jin Li's eyes flickered; so that's how it was.
She had heard before that big-name stars deliberately arrived late just to grab the last appearance slot.
Has this trend now spread to small stars?
Big-name stars usually appear in the mid-to-late stage; small stars don't dare to grab the later appearance slots, but grabbing the mid-field is still doable.
It's just that this time, the grabbing was obviously quite fierce. After the small star in front of her left, the broadcast called several more stars, but none of them went out.
A few minutes later, the order could only keep cycling downwards.
In less than half an hour, it was Jin Li's turn.
Appearing early means being relaxed early, and she might see acquaintances in the seating arrangement and be able to chat, so Jin Li didn't want to delay her appearance and immediately walked out.
There was a person in charge at the exit arranging the coordination, shouting into the headset: "The next one to appear is Jin Li. What, delay? Over there wants to delay?"
"How can we delay, brother? Everyone behind her is also a first-tier star. If she delays, others will definitely want to delay too."
"Understood, others don't matter, but Jin Li must delay, right? Then I'll shout now—"
The person in charge was holding the walkie-talkie when suddenly a person appeared in front of him. Jin Li said: "No need to delay, I'll appear now."
She said very decisively: "Once I delay, the first-tier stars behind definitely won't come out either. Someone has to close the show; I'll do it!"
The person in charge was shocked by her decisive momentum and immediately said: "Alright, you just go out; that car outside is arranged for you."
Jin Li walked out, a luxury car was at the very front, and someone got out of the car to open the seat for her.
When Jin Li went out, Sanyuetian and the others had just arrived at the lounge and couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the broadcast.
Chen Lin asked: "Is Sister Jin Li going out so early?"
Yan Xingdong frowned: "The organizer's ranking is a bit problematic. We haven't even heard of the stars following Jin Li."
Gu Cheng: "Obviously a work error."
Luo Yi thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, Sister Jin Li probably doesn't care."
If their own manager knew about this, he would definitely scold the organizer bloody, and they would also call Zhang Guang to let him solve it.
However, for this matter, Sister Jin Li probably won't call the manager, but whether Sui Lingfang will let it go is uncertain.
The reporter area on both sides of the red carpet was boredly playing with their cameras.
"When will it be the first-tier stars' turn to appear?"
"It's only four o'clock now, it won't be that fast. At least wait until five o'clock to have first-tier stars, and the live streaming traffic on the internet isn't that big yet."
"Why does it feel like the stars are coming slower and slower? Many small stars can walk for a few more minutes."
"Ha, could it be that there aren't many people left behind, and there are very few small stars who got off-site spots this year?" a reporter joked.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, the live broadcast announced Jin Li's arrival.
The reporters on both sides immediately widened their eyes: "Holy crap, it's only four o'clock. How is this organizer doing things? Some colleagues haven't even arrived yet!"
"Forget what they think, let's hurry up and take pictures, take a few more to finish the job!"
Some reporters didn't know what they were thinking, so they hurriedly took out their phones and made a call, all calling colleagues to come over, and some directly reported to the editor-in-chief, feeding back that Jin Li was walking the red carpet early.
After the editor-in-chief learned the news, many bloody speculations immediately appeared in his mind, all of which could just be sent out as instant news.
Jin Li had just gotten out of the car, and several media outlets on the internet had already sent out news about Jin Li through flash news.
【Jin Li walks the red carpet early, suspected of being targeted by the organizer!】
【Organizer makes things difficult for Jin Li!】
【Big shock! Jin Li becomes an abandoned pawn at the awards ceremony, arranged to walk the red carpet with 18th-tier stars!】
Because well-known big Vs forwarded it, it fermented on the internet very quickly.
Sui Lingfang hadn't received the news yet, but Zou Da saw it and immediately called her.
"Did Jin Li report to you about walking the red carpet early?"
Sui Lingfang was stunned: "What, walking the red carpet early?"
Zou Da: "I sent you the link, take a look."
Sui Lingfang quickly browsed through it, her face gloomy: "I'll communicate with the organizer immediately."
Zou Da: "Can Jin Li withdraw from the red carpet?"
Sui Lingfang sarcastically said: "How can she withdraw after showing her face? Just promote it according to the media's speculation. If the internal personnel management is improper, why should Jin Li be responsible for the consequences?"
"These organizers are just dog-eyed and low-looking, deliberately letting Jin Li walk with 18th-tier stars!"
It doesn't matter what kind of moths those small stars make.
But Jin Li is first-tier, and first-tier has its own face and status.
If there is no difference between first-tier and 18th-tier, then why is everyone desperately rushing to first-tier?
This difference is not just the difference in salary; the treatment received is an all-around crushing.
Sui Lingfang thought for a while and simply made a mistake, creating a trending search for #Jin Li is being suppressed#!
Awards ceremony scene.
Jin Li appeared on the red carpet wearing Fang Fei's cheongsam. As soon as she walked up, reporters on both sides roared desperately.
"Look here!!"
"Look here, Jin Li!"
"Jin Li daughter, smile one!"
"Jin Li God of Wealth is the most generous!"
"Jin Li daughter, how many test papers did you finish today?"
Reporters, in order to make Jin Li laugh and make the expression on her face more vivid, said all kinds of crazy things.
Jin Li originally maintained a "noble and cold" posture, but couldn't help but break her defense upon hearing this, her eyebrows curved as she held back her laughter.
The moment the smile appeared, the camera flash almost created an ocean of light.
Netizens who rushed to the live broadcast room along the trending search heard the reporter's crazy words and couldn't help but get angry.
【Big bold! Is "daughter" something you can call? That's clearly my baby!】
【The only thing I agree with is that the daughter did a few test papers】
【Hahaha, Jin Li really held up a number—2. She was so busy today, she actually did two test papers??】
【Strictly speaking, it's two and a half. I watched her do it in the live broadcast room. The third one was halfway done when the manager called her to do her hair. Oh, by the way, she started the live broadcast at six this morning (smile)】
【Terrible volume king...】
Because the reporters were very enthusiastic, Jin Li stayed on the red carpet for at least ten minutes. The host looked at the end with a smile and didn't urge her.
But Jin Li was a bit embarrassed and left the red carpet regardless of the reporters' retention, signing her name.
The host's interview was very calm, without any controversial questions. It should have been specifically greeted to show mercy.
Under the leadership of the commissioner, Jin Li sat in her exclusive seat. The commissioner very diligently handed her various fruit plates and asked if she wanted to eat a box lunch.
Don't say, Jin Li was really a bit hungry, so she nodded and said yes.
The commissioner was slightly stunned, feeling that Jin Li was very different from other stars, not caring about image problems at all. Few stars choose to eat box lunches at the awards ceremony.
Even at this point, the camera rarely falls on the inner field, and even 18th-tier small stars don't eat.
It feels quite kind and grounded.
The commissioner said: "I'll arrange it now, wait a moment."
Jin Li nodded again, "Thank you."
After the commissioner left, she picked up the fruit plate and ate some. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Jin Li."
Jin Li turned to look, and Ren Zhangtao's playboy face appeared in front of her.
Jin Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Long time no see, you came too."
Ren Zhangtao explained: "I'm not qualified to come, I bought a sponsorship spot to get in. Long time no see, how have you been lately?"
He didn't say that even if you buy a sponsorship spot, the position will be arranged at the very back.
This position now is because he deliberately exposed his identity and greeted the organizer, letting the organizer arrange it.
What he wanted was not the position of a first-tier star, but the position behind the first-tier star, and he specifically requested to sit behind Jin Li.
The organizer didn't know he had acted in a drama, just thought he was chasing stars, so they gave it very readily.
Jin Li replied: "I've been doing quite well lately, how about you?"
Ren Zhangtao sighed, "No, I'm not doing very well. My old man heard that I went to film and wanted to arrange for me to enter the entertainment industry, but I don't get along with him and want to join another company."
He changed the subject, "By the way, Jin Li, is your company still recruiting stars? Is the standard high? Can I get in?"
Jin Li asked in surprise: "You want to come to Chenxi?"
Ren Zhangtao nodded: "On the crew, I have more contact with you, and I feel your company is quite good. Other companies have great restrictions on stars."
Jin Li said honestly: "That's because my company needs me, and I'm not a newcomer, I have a certain choice. From the ability of the companies in the industry, Chenxi Entertainment is not short of money, but very short of connections."
Ren Zhangtao smiled and said lightly: "The thing I lack the most is connections."
Jin Li thought for a while, it really is like this. With a father who is a movie king opening the way, Ren Zhangtao lacks nothing. No matter which company he goes to, he will have very good treatment.
I heard from Deng Zexu before that Ren Zhangtao's father didn't think highly of him and suppressed his son's interest, so Ren Zhangtao agreed to come to perform to fight for a breath.
Looking at it now, the problem should be solved.
"How about this, after going back, I'll mention it to the manager and let her take the initiative to contact you."
Ren Zhangtao immediately said okay, and grabbed Jin Li to ask some questions related to Chenxi Entertainment, until the lunch box arrived, and Jin Li stopped talking and focused on eating.
There was one more first-tier star in the field, and because those walking the red carpet now were all small stars, at the request of netizens, the camera scanned the field from time to time.
Jin Li and Ren Zhangtao's "eager communication" was also seen by netizens.
【Who is that star, looks good!】
【Looks like the relationship with Jin Li is very familiar】
【Three seconds, I want this star's information!】
【Asked AI, it told me there is no star with the same appearance???】
【Could it be a layman who was very lucky to draw into the inner field?】
【Wait, can laymen draw inner field tickets? Aren't the ones released all outer field tickets?】
Gu Cheng was doing problems on one side while occasionally scanning the live broadcast, seeing the interaction between Jin Li and Ren Zhangtao, his eyes couldn't help but darken.
Chen Lin was playing games while occasionally scanning the live broadcast on Gu Cheng's phone, and also saw this person, couldn't help but ask: "Who is he?"
Gu Cheng said lightly: "An 18th-tier star who filmed with Jin Li on the same crew."
Chen Lin teased: "Brother Gu, how can an 18th-tier star sit in this position? Even if you don't like others, don't belittle others like this."
Gu Cheng then added: "A second-generation ancestor relying on his father."
Chen Lin's eyes turned, pulling Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi to eat melons together.
In the end, Yan Xingdong was still supernatural, took a photo and sent it to Zhang Guang, and then got the answer—
"The precious son of Movie King Ren who has been hidden for more than 20 years, deep and unrevealed, dragon without seeing the head or tail!"
Chen Lin was speechless for a long time, and said sincerely: "Captain, please extract the key points next time, thank you."
Yan Xingdong said coldly: "Mature team members will reflect on themselves."
Chen Lin couldn't tell for a moment whether this was saying he was naive or stupid.
However, Chen Lin's mentality is super good. He doesn't care about the disrespect of that son surnamed Yan. As long as the mentality is adjusted well, everyone has to call him dad.
Chen Lin asked again: "So what is he looking for Jin Li for? Is the relationship really good? This kind of background doesn't need to climb connections with stars, right?"
Yan Xingdong: "I can really give an answer to this. Brother Guang said this person is looking for an entertainment company. He received the news in advance and is preparing to contact him in the next few days."
"With a movie king dad and a business tycoon mom, his future as a star is absolutely limitless."
Chen Lin specifically looked at Gu Cheng and sighed: "This competitor's weight is very heavy!"
Luo Yi: "If you can join Chenxi Entertainment, that is near the water tower."
Yan Xingdong: "... You guys take it easy, didn't you see someone is on the verge of running away?"
