Chapter 300

The song "As Wished" is still very dignified, serious, and grand; Jin Li didn't want to use a singing and dancing version that leaned more towards hip-hop style to perform it.

It always felt like it was defiling something.

Although many netizens felt it didn't matter, Jin Li had her own persistence; precious works deserve more precious treatment.

Ji Ji Qinglian shook her head and laughed: "You misunderstood; it's not asking you to follow the girl group style of singing and dancing, but to combine it with the film's content and design a singing and dancing stage yourself. This can make up for the shortcomings of your live singing."

Xi Sister Meng Ze also said: "When you sang 'Infatuated with the Red Dust' before, you also used special light and shadow stages to add points for yourself, playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses.

If you are going to sing 'As Wished' live, you also need to use some dance movements to attract the audience's attention, thereby ignoring the details of the singing."

Non-professional singers shouldn't show off their singing skills.

Anyone who shows off basically crashes.

Once compared with professional singers, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction strike.

Just like professional singers compared to professional internet celebrities, the songs sung by internet celebrities just aren't as good as those sung by singers.

Especially since Jin Li is a celebrity, this kind of comparison is fatal.

In people's general concept, internet celebrities are supposed to be a notch below celebrities, so it's not surprising for internet celebrities to crash; after all, professional singers make a living from this.

But Jin Li is a celebrity, and she has been a girl group member, a singer-dancer, so she barely touches the edge of being a singer, which is why netizens will unconsciously compare her with professional singers.

Simply put, this is the different expectations brought about by different identities.

Netizens certainly hope that Jin Li has a level not inferior to professional singers.

Jin Li thought for a few seconds and felt their method was good; the recording studio version can only rely on sound editing to make up for shortcomings.

But for the live version, she needs to add some design to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.

Before long, Jin Li had an idea: "'Dream Builder' heroine He Hui is a physicist, and even more so a seeker of knowledge who is tireless; I want to incorporate books as props into the stage and design some dance movements."

Ji Ji Qinglian asked: "Does Chenxi have a stage designer?"

Jin Li shook her head.

Ji Ji Qinglian frowned, as if thinking of something, looked at Jin Li, then looked at Xi Sister Meng Ze, and asked: "You two are both free next, right?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze nodded: "Yes, I have nothing to do after recording the promotional song, and I'm still waiting for announcements to come to the door."

Jin Li also nodded: "I should be very busy later, having to rehearse for a play, but I'm not busy these few days; the director hasn't brought out the script yet."

As for the announcements for Fang Fei and Duomi, they are all arranged in August; it is still late July, and she is free during this time.

Ji Ji Qinglian's eyebrows curved slightly, and she said in a clear voice: "Then let's gather together and help Jin Li design the stage, how about that? It's been a long time since I've practiced singing and dancing."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze both said with great interest: "Sure!"

When they were girl group members in the past, every day was either running announcements or practicing dance, picking up dances, and designing stages themselves.

Now that a few years have passed, the members have gone their separate ways and are engaged in different jobs.

But at this moment, everyone had a feeling of returning to the past and reigniting their passion.

The youth of young girls never ends!

The box office myth of "No One Survived" is still continuing.

Many people know that this film is about to be taken off the shelves in theaters, so they hurry to watch it while taking advantage of the last bit of light; the reviews are overwhelming.

This film has also rarely become a film that exerts force in the later stages.

Since winning the daily box office champion, it hasn't fallen from the first place, stubbornly maintaining a box office range of 30 million and 20 million per day.

Other films have box office declines every day; only this film rises every day.

Even if it declines, the decline is not large.

As the film's box office exceeded 500 million, the official blog of "No One Survived" once again posted a poster celebrating the box office breaking 500 million, sharing the joy with all netizens.

【It took nearly half a month to get on the daytime theater line, and to be able to achieve such results, it's really not easy!】

【Just went to take a look, today's box office grew against the trend to 35 million; "No One Survived," you've really made something of yourself!】

【Watching the little broken film take off step by step~~~】

【Doesn't this deserve a celebration banquet blessing video?】

Deng Zexu received the netizens' messages backstage and waved his hand: "The celebration banquet must be held, and it must be held in a big way!"

Director Deng took action and set the most luxurious restaurant private room in Nancheng; consuming in this private room, the minimum consumption starts at 200,000.

After some actors arrived, they couldn't help but click their tongues: "What is this eating? Is it eating dragon meat?"

Jin Li also specially took time to come over.

She couldn't stay for a long time; Ji Qinglian and Meng Meng stayed at Chenxi Entertainment, and after eating, they had to rush back to practice dance; they designed a good performance situation for themselves.

As long as the rehearsal is proficient, there is no problem dealing with the live performance.

Hearing the actor's words, she couldn't help but smile and say: "The price of ingredients isn't expensive; even the top ingredients are marked with prices. It's mainly the alcohol that's expensive; that's the real premium."

Of course, Director Deng gave a VIP card, and you can get a discount by charging a large amount into it.

Actually, 200,000 was consumed, but after the discount, maybe only 110,000 or 120,000 was used.

This is also a common routine for some luxury restaurants.

Deng Zexu took the lead in raising his glass and said: "Celebrating the total box office of 'No One Survived' breaking 500 million, I'll drink first as a sign of respect, you all do as you please!"

He tilted his head and drank it in one gulp.

Jin Li picked up a glass, but didn't drink alcohol; what was poured inside was fruit juice, and she also drank it happily.

It was a venue for young people, and there was no mandatory requirement to drink alcohol; the crew members played very happily.

Some staff members got high from drinking and gathered the courage to find the veteran actors to take photos, including Jin Li, who was also sought out by some staff members, and they even asked for a few autographs.

Deng Zexu had a low tolerance for alcohol; he only drank three cups of white liquor and felt a bit dizzy, and after finding Jin Li, he said regretfully:

"If I had known that this film's box office performance would be so high and its potential so good, even if I had to lower my face and use all my father's connections, I would have put it in the cinema from the beginning!"

It wasn't that he didn't think it was a niche art film at the beginning, and it was an adaptation of a classic original novel, so the potential wasn't great, and many parties didn't look favorably upon it.

He himself was conflicted and hesitant at the time, which is why he didn't take action.

Jin Li sipped a bit of blueberry juice and analyzed calmly and rationally: "If it had really been released in theaters from the beginning according to conventional methods, it might not necessarily have achieved such results.

Just say that from the summer file promotion, 'No One Survived' had no competitiveness."

How much was the investment and promotion cost of "No One Survived"?

Ten million in total.

Later, Sister Fang said she wanted to add more, but because there was a hot search that came for free, they didn't raise money to continue adding.

Being able to spend ten million in promotion funds to achieve such an effect is undoubtedly very cost-effective.

But cost-effective is cost-effective; it doesn't mean this film could really reach the point where everyone on the street knows it.

Comparing the three popular films in the summer file, which one didn't invest hundreds of millions in promotion and distribution?

Although this hundred million is watery... but even if it's watery, at least 50 million was invested!

In terms of promotional resources, others spread wider and more.

If "No One Survived" hadn't started to become popular from the art film line, then taken all the late-night slots in theaters, and then attacked the daytime slots, it would have been impossible to have such success today.

If it had really been put in the same plate as popular films to fight from the beginning, who would win and who would lose really couldn't be said for sure.

But Deng Zexu drank too much alcohol, his emotions were high, and he still felt very regretful.

In the end, he actually hugged a pillar and cried.

"I regret it!"

"I hate it!"

"It would have been better to go online earlier!"

Everyone looked at this scene with mixed feelings; Jin Li had a flash of inspiration and took out her phone to record a video.

Ren Ren Zhangtao stood very helplessly next to Deng Zexu, wanting to pull him away, but Director Deng just hugged the pillar and wouldn't let go.

Especially Director Deng's crying, which became louder and louder.

There were only five days left before the film was taken off the shelves; the hot search for "No One Survived" was not as frequent in the later stages, and it began to give way to various films in August.

To be honest, in the later stages of the film, no matter how much promotion, it really didn't matter.

Those who should have watched it had already watched it, and those who didn't like it wouldn't click in no matter how much it was promoted.

But the crew not actively spending money to buy hot searches didn't mean they really refused hot searches; they were just distressed that they couldn't think of any memes to hype up.

Jin Li felt that the meme of the director making a fool of himself now was quite good.

Sure enough, not long after the video was sent to Sister Fang, Sui Sui Lingfang called to ask.

"You're at the celebration banquet, and Director Deng is still crying there?"

Jin Li laughed secretly and said: "Still crying, Ren Ren Zhangtao is next door trying to persuade him but can't stop him; he's hugging a pillar and won't come down."

Sui Sui Lingfang also laughed: "Hey, what to do, if you start a live broadcast now, I'm afraid you could land in the live broadcast room and become number one!"

Jin Li couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, let's give Director Deng some face!"

Sui Sui Lingfang already wanted to use this video to carry out the final hype for "No One Survived," and asked: "How long are you staying? Can you wait for Deng Zexu to sober up?"

"No, I'm leaving in a while."

Sui Sui Lingfang: "Okay, I'll call Ren Ren Zhangtao and let him help me keep an eye on him."

Even with the best partners, when it comes to privacy and hype, one must obtain consent; Sui Sui Lingfang was still very clear about this point and didn't act first and report later.

What's more, she was optimistic about Deng Zexu's potential and wanted to continue working with him in the future, so she had to pay attention to the process.

Subsequently, Sui Sui Lingfang called Ren Ren Zhangtao.

Ren Ren Zhangtao picked up the phone and nodded from time to time: "Okay, I'll watch him for you... By the way, Sister Jin Li isn't watching? Oh oh, she's going back!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but scan the whole scene, only seeing Jin Li's departing figure.

Ren Ren Zhangtao wailed in his heart and glared at Deng Zexu, who was still hugging the pillar and crying, with hatred for his lack of success.

I don't know who looked for him yesterday, saying that the celebration banquet is tomorrow; Jin Li didn't want to come, but he finally made her come to eat lunch by calling her personally, telling him to perform well!

And now?

He still has to stay behind to take care of the drunkard who made the connection; this is truly the best example of pitting a brother!

Jin Li returned to the practice room of Chenxi Entertainment.

Ji Ji Qinglian and Xi Sister Meng Ze were huddled together watching a TV series; she walked over quietly and suddenly said: "What are you watching!"

The two were startled, then immediately counterattacked, one rubbing Jin Li's face and the other pinching her arm.

Jin Li's appearance is innocent and cute; she is the kind of "national daughter" look, quite loved by the other members.

Plus, her health was poor in the past, so everyone has always taken care of her and felt sorry for her.

The three of them made a fuss for a long time before Ji Ji Qinglian said: "Watching a TV series.

I brushed across Lian Lian Baozhi's new drama on Douyin; the clips looked quite interesting, so I wanted to watch the TV series."

Jin Li asked: "How does it feel?"

Ji Ji Qinglian pondered: "Actually, I think her acting is quite okay; I don't know if my judgment is wrong, but her acting is about the same as mine."

"About the same as yours?" Jin Li was very surprised.

"You are the acting skills honed after being tempered by Director Mo Xiaosheng and staying in the crew for almost half a year after pushing all announcements; is Lian Lian Baozhi actually about the same as you?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze interrupted: "Actually, there are still some shortcomings, which can obviously make people feel out of character; it's still a bit of a gap compared to Ji Qinglian's drama.

But this drama is an ancient idol drama; the plot is a bit exaggerated, and the requirements for actors only need to be clear about good and evil; under low standards, it makes her acting look quite good."

Xi Sister Meng Ze doesn't act, but as a celebrity, she has heard a lot about the twists and turns in the entertainment industry.

Let herself act, she can't.

But let her say whether the acting is good or bad, she is very articulate.

Jin Li thought of something and asked again: "You all know she is tearing with Li Li Xunfang, right? Have you watched 'Embroidered Uniform Guard'?"

Ji Ji Qinglian shook her head: "Didn't watch, I'm not interested in heavy plots."

Xi Sister Meng Ze said: "I watched some, but stopped watching after the third episode; this drama started to be watery from the third episode."

Jin Li was puzzled: "Not to that extent, right?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze: "From the third episode, the heroine's scenes were very few, and every time it came to the heroine's scenes, the transitions were very unnatural.

It just so happens that this is a heroine drama, but I feel the supporting roles acted much better than Li Li Xunfang; it's not that Li Li Xunfang's character isn't okay, it's just that it feels too superficial to me."

Ji Ji Qinglian clapped her hands and said: "Okay, let's not talk about it, hurry up and continue practicing, let's all practice together!"

Jin Li then continued to devote herself to practice.

Only when she returned to the apartment at night did she have time to rest.

Jin Li lay on the sofa, thought for a while, and used her phone to search for reviews of "Embroidered Uniform Guard."

What was searched out at the beginning were all fans' rainbow farts, full of several pages; only after flipping to the back five or six pages did there gradually appear real reviews from netizens.

【What garbage, watched to the tenth episode, the heroine directly disappeared! This heroine has only appeared for ten minutes, the supporting actress has already been on for half an hour!】

【Used the video membership opened for this drama, can you refund me?】

【What kind of messy things are filmed, what story is it trying to tell? Isn't the heroine doing Embroidered Uniform Guard work, how did she suddenly get sent out, and the assignment is also unintelligible!】

Jin Li searched for reviews of "A Match Made in Heaven" again.

By comparison, the fan effect of this drama is not so obvious; from the second page, you can see real reviews.

【The heroine's acting is okay, beyond my expectations】

【Lian Lian Baozhi's acting is actually better than Li Li Xunfang's; what kind of magical world is this?】

【The interaction between the hero and heroine is so sweet, give me more, I want to ship it!】

【The heroine is self-reliant and strong, really good!】

Seeing these reviews, Jin Li already had a decision.
