Chapter 297
Under Li Xunfang's strong request, the Blue Sky platform finally decided to put this play online.
Her statement there was not unreasonable.
Li Xunfang's status itself was higher than Lian Baozhi's, and she was an old person in the circle in terms of film and television dramas; there was no need to be afraid of Lian Baozhi because of recent controversies.
The variety show field belongs to the variety show field; film and television dramas are not like variety shows, which can be played just by relying on publicity and memes.
Some stars have a sense of variety, but they just can't act.
Some stars are good at acting, but they are too serious.
So just two days later, Li Xunfang's *Embroidered Uniform Guard* also landed on the Blue Sky platform and officially went online!
This airing was also without any warning, catching netizens off guard and also catching the industry by surprise.
But in Lian Baozhi's eyes, it was no different from good luck falling from the sky!
She was very excited to say to Lu Shanjie, who came to the villa to specifically pick her up to run announcements, "I didn't expect Li Xunfang to think of this move, wanting to fight me; I thought she would hide from me forever!"
Before, she provoked repeatedly in variety shows and various occasions, but Li Xunfang didn't take the bait; why did she want to fight hard with her this time?
I really want to drill into Li Xunfang's brain to see how she thinks.
Lian Baozhi was worried that this play had no hot spots; look, Li Xunfang sent her head to the door!
She is familiar with clinging to people to hype!
A smile crossed Lu Shanjie's mouth; she didn't expect things to go so smoothly; after all, in their plan, the most ideal situation was to fight Li Xunfang's play.
Everyone fights with real swords and guns, which can instead stimulate many hot spots.
Before, she specifically stared at *Embroidered Uniform Guard*, wanting to go online synchronously with this play, and specifically went to various cocktail parties to inquire in many ways.
But the people at the Blue Sky platform covered it tightly and wouldn't reveal a word.
If she had known they would come to the door, she wouldn't have had to spend so much effort before and drank so much wine in vain.
Lu Shanjie said, "I don't know what they are thinking, but the advantage of this matter is on our side. Li Xunfang's status has always been stronger than yours, so you had to pull her to hype together before to borrow her fame to increase your fame.
Falling into film and television dramas, her advantage is more obvious than yours; after all, she has won the Best Supporting Actress award, and she has filmed at least six plays; now it is her 7th starring play.
She is willing to fight you and pull her status to the same level as yours; we are taking advantage, and we cannot let go of this opportunity."
A very simple truth.
When your strength and fame are not as good as another star, but that star insists on outputting to you, what does this mean?
It means that in the star's mind, which star has already posed a threat!
It's not so easy for a small star to touch a big star; it also depends on whether the big star pays attention to it.
Now that Li Xunfang is willing to take the initiative to confront Lian Baozhi, they will definitely not give up this opportunity and want netizens to feel—
Lian Baozhi's status is already on par with Li Xunfang's!
Even Seeing Jin Li, who was practicing singing hard, heard the mutual tearing between Li Xunfang and Lian Baozhi.
She basically opened live streams to do questions when going online and didn't brush gossip much, at most brushing some current news.
So many stars' gossip was told to her by Xi Sister Meng Ze and the agent.
The former was out of interest to inquire.
As for the latter, it was to let Seeing Jin Li have a long heart, so as not to be ignorant, so as not to fall into the trap specifically built by reporters in the future when accepting interviews, and let her express views on some star events.
In Sui Lingfang's office.
Seeing Jin Li was called over by Sister Fang; it was originally to talk about work, but suddenly she was stuffed with a big melon.
Sui Lingfang said, "Li Xunfang and Lian Baozhi are tearing each other; these two people's plays are only two days apart, which is equivalent to the same period, and both are night zero-point surprise landings on the platform; the early data all depends on the star's fans to hit the list."
She said happily, "No wonder they say that enemies don't meet, these two don't know when to kill; people in the industry are eating melons!"
Seeing Jin Li asked curiously, "Lian Baozhi has no filming experience; this is her first female lead play; I heard that it almost couldn't be sold before, and it was she who went to the door to promote it before it was sold; the film and television resources of the two are not equal, right?"
Sui Lingfang nodded, "Yes, the promotion matter is not a secret in the circle; as soon as *A Match Made in Heaven* passed the review, her agent inquired everywhere about video platforms to see if they were interested in Lian Baozhi's new play.
Everyone knows that the first female lead play of a newcomer, no matter how bright the performance is, the acting skills will be green, so the video platform has no intention to buy.
But if Lian Baozhi reveals to the outside world that she wants to take a variety show, I am afraid that many variety shows will come to the door; after all, she started by relying on variety shows."
She said to this point, specifically paused, and said with appreciation, "I inquired about a small gossip; it is said that this news was accidentally revealed by Director Zhuang Fan when he was drunk."
Seeing Jin Li was a qualified listener and asked very supportively, "What news?"
Sui Lingfang, "Lian Baozhi can sell this play, and she has to thank Li Xunfang; she sold it by borrowing Li Xunfang's name!"
Seeing Jin Li was stunned, "Lian Baozhi borrowed Li Xunfang's name?"
Her face was full of contemplation, "The two are enemies, which is true, but they are only in variety shows; what can this have to do with film and television works, unless—"
A flash of inspiration struck Seeing Jin Li's mind, "Lian Baozhi was promoting *A Match Made in Heaven*, and she was hitting the idea of fighting with Li Xunfang's *Embroidered Uniform Guard*!"
The truth of the matter was pieced together in the guesses of the two.
Sui Lingfang smiled, "That's what I think; although I don't know how Lian Baozhi obtained Li Xunfang's new play trends, looking at the two people's online dates biting so tightly, this is definitely not a coincidence.
It's just that I don't know if Lian Baozhi caught Li Xunfang's information, or if Li Xunfang specifically gathered together to crush her, or other reasons; anyway, these two people's plays will definitely be compared by netizens."
She concluded, "No matter what the result is, Lian Baozhi doesn't suffer in this matter.
I have told you before, don't be afraid, boldly take some new film and television types, just because you are a newcomer.
If you film badly, netizens feel it is very normal; if you film very well, netizens will feel amazed instead. The identity of a newcomer is enough for netizens to be more tolerant."
Seeing Jin Li listened to Sister Fang, and at the same time opened the blog; just right, there was a common hot search for Li Xunfang and Lian Baozhi on the blog, and it was still in the top ten.
#Which is better, "A Match Made in Heaven" or "Embroidered Uniform Guard"#
Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but sigh; this hot search tag was obviously aimed at making trouble.
Clicking in, the fans of the two had already started a scolding war in the comment section, starting from makeup and clothing to diss.
Seeing Jin Li looked at the stills; the looks of these two female leads in the play were quite good.
Female stars will be more attentive to being on camera than male stars and will make requests to the crew in advance; if the face is big, it must be P-small frame by frame.
If there are pimples, they must also be P-disappeared, the neck must be elongated, try not to shoot hunchback... Overall, the appearance and demeanor of the two are quite good.
As for who is better looking, it depends on the netizens' aesthetics.
No one can scold anyone in terms of appearance, so netizens started to turn to the plot.
Seeing Jin Li flipped through a few pages of comments at will, but suddenly her eyes narrowed, and she actually found something.
"Seeing Jin Li?" Sui Lingfang called her, "What are you looking at, so serious and fascinated."
Seeing Jin Li said, "I am looking at netizens' comments; someone said the plot of *Embroidered Uniform Guard* is very empty, and the female lead started to hide from the scene in the 5th episode; wouldn't this be a bit wrong?"
Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows and shook her head, "I am not a director; how do I know the plot development arrangement? Maybe this is a foreshadowing?"
Seeing Jin Li suddenly thought of something and said, "Sister Fang, have you forgotten? We have seen the script of *Embroidered Uniform Guard*!
And *A Match Made in Heaven*, we have also seen the script. The plots of these two plays are relatively bloody, but the arrangement of the rise, fall, and turn is very appropriate; as long as they are filmed well, they are all successful commercial costume dramas."
Sui Lingfang remembered, "Yes, I have seen them and have some impression; if these two plays were not good, I wouldn't have taken them out to lure Li Xunfang."
If you want people to take the bait, you have to get a good bait.
Seeing Jin Li, "I also remember the plot of *Embroidered Uniform Guard*; at least before the tenth episode, the plot was very tight, all of which were the female lead fighting alone; later she found partners, and then shared a little bit of the role; the netizens' comments are a bit wrong."
Sui Lingfang said indifferently, "That is also other people's business, and has nothing to do with us."
Seeing Jin Li smiled lightly, her eyes bright, "No, it has something to do with me; maybe I can use this to return the favor Lian Baozhi owed before."
Now Li Xunfang and Lian Baozhi have just started fighting; one is broadcast to 10 episodes and one is broadcast to 8 episodes; for a costume drama of more than 40 episodes, Lian Baozhi hasn't even broadcast half of it.
Originally, she was thinking of adding flowers to the brocade; if Lian Baozhi's new play had a better reputation than Li Xunfang's, then she would also post a blog, pretending that she was chasing Lian Baozhi's new play, and return the favor of her writing a long review for *And Then There Were None* before.
Although Seeing Jin Li was not familiar with her and didn't need her long review, it had to be said that because of Lian Baozhi's long review, it gave *And Then There Were None* a hot search exposure position.
This was ultimately a pull for the box office of *And Then There Were None*, and Seeing Jin Li still remembered this favor.
But now...
If Li Xunfang's play really collapsed like this, she might not have to wait until the day when the reputation of the two plays was settled, and she could help Lian Baozhi publicize first.
Then this would be sending charcoal in the snow.
Seeing Jin Li thought about it and decided to wait first.
After gossiping, Sui Lingfang brought up the business.
"You have a new play going online in August, and you are already very busy; I don't want to bother you with things, but the summer file is also the active period for stars, and many brand activities are also held in the summer."
Seeing Jin Li understood, "Did the endorser make any requests?"
Sui Lingfang was full of smiles and liked to talk to smart people.
"Yes, Duomi Makeup hopes you will endorse its new products; it will sign a new product endorsement contract with you separately.
As a national spokesperson for Duomi Makeup, they can use your image to publicize the brand for three years. But if you want to specifically shoot publicity for a certain product, this is another price."
Seeing Jin Li thought about it and said, "Yes, I am its spokesperson; I have the obligation to publicize."
Sui Lingfang, "The other one is Fang Fei; Fang Fei doesn't need you to shoot new product advertisements, but wants to shoot a magazine for you."
Seeing Jin Li was about to nod, but suddenly reacted, "Wait, does Fang Fei have a magazine?"
Sui Lingfang smiled, "There is no magazine issued to the outside world, but there is a monthly electronic magazine; this kind of magazine is generally used for product publicity and telling brand stories, and will insert many model inner pages."
She specifically said, "I have investigated; in the past electronic magazine inner pages, Fang Fei used internationally renowned models, but this time it is said that the chief designer Dai Xueling specifically named you to shoot."
Seeing Jin Li said without thinking, "I'll shoot!"
Sui Lingfang also said, "Duomi, you can do whatever you want; with your current status, a second-tier endorsement is climbing high for them.
Being able to let them continue to use you to publicize is maintaining the spirit of the contract, but even if you breach the contract or raise the price, it is no problem in the industry."
The gap between first-tier and second-tier is like the difference between heaven and earth; this is not only for stars, but also for brands.
"But Fang Fei, I have made up my mind to persuade you to take it; it just happens that you are willing, saving me a bit of persuasion; what I am more worried about is."
She specifically looked up at Seeing Jin Li, "You will be very busy in August; you have to run movie publicity, run two brand shoots, and there are brand activities mixed in between; can you handle it?"
Seeing Jin Li was also worried about this problem.
Although Bai Bai could solve everything, she couldn't always rely on Bai Bai; her foundation lies in the "half the effort" focused state.
If she runs down very easily this time, it will also give Sister Fang an illusion, feeling that her body has recovered, and arrange more announcements for her in the future.
Although Sister Fang is very good to her and the company doesn't treat her badly, Seeing Jin Li still wants some private space, at least to find time to study.
The persona of being physically weak still cannot be lost.
So she pondered for a while and said, "Brand activities are not determined yet; maybe I will go, or maybe I won't; take the most important shoot first, and other announcements depend on my state."
Seeing Jin Li gave Sui Lingfang a preventive shot in advance, "The roadshow publicity method of *Dream Builder* plans to use the form of a play; I will be very busy this month; if I accidentally faint, don't worry."
Sui Lingfang:...
Is this human language??
Since she feels she is going to faint, she should quickly reduce the workload!
Sui Lingfang's words of encouraging struggle came to her mouth, but she immediately took them back and turned to say:
"I'd better call Director Zhong to find him, so as not to let him use you as a desperate mother!"
While Seeing Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze were liver songs, the Sanyuetian crowd was not idle; they were busy crazy this summer vacation.
Thinking carefully, it seems that after recording *Slow Life*, that "leisurely time" was gone forever.
Although it was equally busy before, it was not like now, busy to the point that even eating and sleeping had to be solved on the road.
In the luxurious nanny car.
Yan Xingdong rubbed his swollen and painful temples and asked, "How many announcements did we run today?"
Chen Lin said powerlessly, "Flashed three places, took time to do two interviews in the middle, and have to go to a charity activity later... aren't these clearer to you than me, captain."
Yan Xingdong, "The brain is already scrapped, thank you."
Luo Yi couldn't hold on and said, "Can the charity activity added temporarily be canceled?"
Yan Xingdong, "No, for the sake of the team image, it cannot be canceled, and we have been exerting force on public welfare since last year, and we have to continue in the future."
Gu Cheng said lightly, "Doing public welfare is a good thing; hold on a bit longer."
He looked at Yan Xingdong, "If you can't hold on, I'll come to connect for you later?"
Yan Xingdong, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while first."
He pulled down his hat and slept with his head buried.
