Chapter 315

This remark by Sui Lingfang also completely relieved Seeing Jin Li's worries.

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not that I can't drink, but my body has been weak for many years, so I drink as little as possible, and I don't like to drink.

I thought at the time, if I chose to drink for a moment of seeking peace, then the fact that I didn't drink when greeting other directors before would become my handle.

Why didn't I drink before, but drank when pointed out by this director? Isn't this differential treatment? I believe those directors won't feel satisfied either.

Another thing is, once I choose to drink, I will drink forever, endlessly."

Seeing Jin Li said here, sighed lightly: "Sister Fang, I don't like unnecessary socializing, it will affect my efficiency."

Sui Lingfang said "Um", "That's the logic."

After she sent Seeing Jin Li back to the apartment, she thought about it and still called Zhang Guang.

Chenxi Entertainment's first star who can be brought out is Seeing Jin Li, and the second is Xi Sister Meng Ze.

To be honest, it is impossible for the company to do anything to these two stars, and accepting appearances for them is also based on their opinions.

Since Seeing Jin Li has already done so, she shouldn't say any hindsight words, which would hurt the artist's heart.

But she was far from as calm as she appeared in her heart.

Zhang Guang was currently sending Sanyuetian to run appearances and was in the same car as Sanyuetian.

He was busy bringing newcomers this month and only brought Sanyuetian to run appearances twice. He didn't expect that this second time, he just happened to bump into Sui Lingfang calling.

Zhang Guang picked up the phone and asked: "What's the matter?"

Sui Lingfang first asked: "Are you free? I have something to chat with you about."

Zhang Guang raised his eyebrows, his intuition telling him that Sui Lingfang's tone was not right.

He gestured to the group of boys behind him, and the sound of everyone eating barbecue became much smaller.

Sanyuetian had a tacit understanding with Zhang Guang. As soon as they saw Zhang Guang's gesture, they knew an important call had come in, so they kept quiet.

Chen Lin didn't know what he thought of, took out his phone and sent a message in the group chat.

Chen Lin: 【Hope Brother Guang doesn't talk about any appearances for us again, I've run appearances to the physiological range this month!!!】

Luo Yi: 【Don't ask, asking is letting us save for retirement】

Chen Lin: 【I feel that the bank card balance now makes me very at ease, no need to save money anymore T^T】

Yan Xingdong: 【Silly child, who would dislike having too much money?】

Gu Cheng: 【Appearances that can make Brother Guang feel important are not small appearances. Is Xiao Lin going to give up a transaction of tens of millions?】

Chen Lin: 【Ah... I... let me think again...】

Zhang Guang didn't know the artist's grievances. Sanyuetian's fulfilling appearances disguisedly proved their appeal in the industry, still standing at the peak of top traffic.

If he knew, he would probably say back: "You should be glad that there are so many appearances to run this year. If the appearance volume drops next year, it proves that you are cool!"

On how to cause artist anxiety, Brother Guang has a lot of experience.

Zhang Guang said to the phone: "Free, you say."

Sui Lingfang told the incident Seeing Jin Li encountered today.

Zhang Guang was surprised and said: "You protect Seeing Jin Li really well. I thought she had encountered this kind of thing long ago, and you had already determined your position."

Sui Lingfang was speechless for a moment.

Chenxi Entertainment is a small workshop, and they really hadn't encountered these things before.

But thinking carefully, it might be because Chenxi Entertainment is a small workshop, with no connections or resources in the entertainment industry, so they couldn't take the initiative to find top-level appearances for Seeing Jin Li, and top-level appearances took the initiative to find Seeing Jin Li.

Those who took the initiative to come to the door were asking for help, so Seeing Jin Li had never encountered a situation where she was made difficult by capital or directors.

She suddenly thought of something and asked: "Listening to your meaning, Sanyuetian has encountered it long ago?"

Zhang Guang said calmly: "They encountered it when they first became popular and formed a group. They offended many people from the beginning of their debut.

When they were about to form a group, the capital side wanted to get a few people down and stuff a few people into their team. Tianding felt it was okay, but these boys were unwilling.

Saying they wouldn't form a group to debut together, destroying the integrity, then they wouldn't debut and announced their withdrawal from the competition. The artist's attitude was firm, so Tianding could only go against the capital."

Sui Lingfang was silent for a while and said hesitantly: "But Seeing Jin Li's situation is different from Sanyuetian's situation."

Zhang Guang said: "There is no difference, Seeing Jin Li's situation now is better than Sanyuetian's at that time.

When Sanyuetian first debuted, everyone didn't believe they could continue the glory in the variety show, and Tianding had to face greater pressure.

But Seeing Jin Li is already a mature artist. Although those big directors are unhappy with her, they can't block her. If the director refuses to use her, it doesn't mean the platform refuses to use her.

Don't forget, now is not the era when those directors cover the sky with one hand. If video platforms want to continue to develop larger, they must have a high-quality film library and launch several S-level hits every year.

But there are only so many high-quality films, and every time they fight for them, they have to bleed heavily, and the platform can't do business at a loss. So some platforms have purchased copyrights themselves, invited people to film, and then launched their own exclusive channels."

Zhang Guang said keenly: "Those film and television platforms will definitely intervene in film production, but unlike the conservative film and television circle, film and television platforms don't care about your rules. Having traffic and being able to go out of the circle is their biggest rule.

So Seeing Jin Li refused them, which will certainly offend the old batch of directors, but at the same time, she already holds two popular movies, *Dream Builder* and *And Then There Were None*, and the market has already proven her value.

Film and television platforms won't let go of the opportunity to cooperate with her. On the contrary, they are probably worried about how to invite Seeing Jin Li to participate in their platform-made dramas.

This matter spreading out will let the platform see hope, and your company will definitely receive many invitations for self-made dramas next."

Zhang Guang said these things decisively; he made judgments based on experience.

Sui Lingfang breathed a sigh of relief completely.

Her vision was limited, and her judgment of the overall situation was not accurate.

Supporting Seeing Jin Li was her personal opinion that Seeing Jin Li's approach was not wrong, but she wasn't sure if her career would really be unaffected.

After all, the energy of those big directors in the film and television circle is still very large.

Now listening to Zhang Guang's analysis, Sui Lingfang was no longer uneasy, but instead had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Oh, the more you want to block, the more others are thirsty for talent!

Sui Lingfang said with a smile: "A film and television circle with a hundred flowers blooming is still good. Only when one family dominates will people have no choice."

After Zhang Guang hung up the phone, Gu Cheng asked first: "Brother Guang, I heard you mention Seeing Jin Li. Did something happen on her side?"

Zhang Guang said lightly: "It doesn't count as anything, just doing what you have already done a few years ago, she did it again."

Gu Cheng frowned. Over the years, they have done too many things to the capital side.

Zhang Guang then said: "It's just that she said in public that she wouldn't participate in the drinking culture with big directors, and wouldn't drink at social events in the future."

Gu Cheng's brows relaxed, and he said lightly: "So it's this matter. She is a female artist, she should have clarified her attitude long ago."

Chen Lin smiled and said: "Well done, let's see which old thing forces people to drink in the future. We never drink at social events!"

Brother Guang looked up at the rearview mirror and said lightly: "Happy? Still want to maintain this special status?

Then you have to run more appearances, let everyone see the value of your top traffic, otherwise those people will step on you first.

Seeing Jin Li is different from you. She became popular too early, entered the trough long ago, and became popular again from the trough. This kind of person has already stood firmly in the circle, and the public knows her.

Her road popularity is her biggest basic disk. No capital dares to confront her on the surface. These people don't cooperate with her, there are plenty of people who want to cooperate with her."

Brother Guang talked about the old topic again: "Sigh, if you had Seeing Jin Li's road popularity, I could also enter retirement life early..."

The next day, Seeing Jin Li continued to participate in the stage play roadshow of *Dream Builder* as usual.

She fulfilled her promise: when the film is pulled, she will stop running promotions.

It was also because Seeing Jin Li, the backbone, was always there, so the tickets for *Dream Builder*'s roadshow were sold out in a few seconds every time.

Director Zhong seemed not to know about the episode that happened at yesterday's celebration banquet, and didn't look for Seeing Jin Li alone to chat about this problem.

As for Seeing Jin Li, she wouldn't take the initiative to look for Director Zhong to chat about this problem either.

Everyone had a certain tacit understanding, or rather, neither of them took this matter seriously!

Director Zhong's wife didn't know where she heard the news, but specifically called Director Zhong to ask how Seeing Jin Li's mood was?

Director Zhong looked at Seeing Jin Li who was preparing to go on stage and said: "The mood is very stable."

His wife said: "If Seeing Jin Li is worried, you talk to her well. Actors only need to do their own job well, no need to consider others. I just happen to care about her future."

Director Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, she is not a fragile artist, nor will she be worried about gains and losses. Since she refused, she won't regret it."

His wife complained to him instead: "You too, why did you introduce some messy directors to her, causing her reputation in the circle to become bad? I heard others say that everyone is saying she is arrogant and unruly!"

Director Zhong touched his nose embarrassedly, "Every director has a different personality, I didn't know he would suddenly find fault with Seeing Jin Li... but don't worry, everyone has their own discernment, Seeing Jin Li's career won't have any issues."

His wife urged him: "But this matter ultimately happened on your venue. The child suffered a bit of a loss, you consider her more for good resources in the future."

Director Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, I introduced her into the circle because I think highly of her, and I won't change my view of her because of a small matter."

Although it wasn't said so bluntly now, he had already introduced Seeing Jin Li in, so Seeing Jin Li would have the brand of "Zhong Girl" on her.

Those directors in the industry who mention Seeing Jin Li know that she is from his faction.

He wouldn't be as narrow-minded as those directors. In his eyes, whether an actor can drink or not is not important at all.

On the day *Dream Builder* was pulled, the total box office was fixed at 1.6 billion!

It's a pity that it didn't exceed *Dark Line Survival*'s 1.7 billion, but it also took the second place in the summer slot, and at the same time refreshed Zhong Wentai's personal highest box office record.

At that time, he told Seeing Jin Li that if the box office results were good, he would pack a big red envelope for Seeing Jin Li.

At the celebration banquet, Director Zhong didn't give a red envelope, but on the day the movie was pulled, the actors still in the crew ate together, and Director Zhong gave them a red envelope.

When Director Zhong handed the red envelope to Seeing Jin Li, he specifically said: "Stick to your original intention, your ideas are right, don't care about the rumors from the outside world."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes flashed, and she nodded solemnly to Director Zhong.

After eating, Sui Lingfang came to pick up Seeing Jin Li to go to Chenxi Entertainment for a meeting.

This is an old tradition.

Every time Seeing Jin Li finishes a long appearance, she will return to the company for a meeting to listen to the company's analysis of her popularity during this period and the planning direction afterwards.

In the car, Seeing Jin Li rarely saw He Yixuan and was a bit surprised: "Long time no see, how have you been recently?"

He Yixuan's expression was a bit nervous, as if she was very surprised that Seeing Jin Li still had an impression of her, and quickly said: "Very good, I just finished filming and came back, Sister Fang picked me up on the way back to the company."

Seeing Jin Li asked: "Are you going back for a meeting too?"

He Yixuan shook her head: "No, I live in the dormitory on the company side."

She lowered her eyes and pinched her fingers.

Currently, the company only holds meetings for Seeing Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze. Every time they finish running appearances, they will hold meetings, and everyone is very envious.

Seeing Jin Li took the initiative to say: "Your new drama is online, remember to tell me, I will help you forward and promote it."

He Yixuan said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Seeing Jin Li!"

In her eyes, Seeing Jin Li is really a kind-hearted person. If she could just be friends with her, she would be more than happy.

But why must they be in the same company?

Before there was only Seeing Jin Li, and now Xi Sister Meng Ze is added. With Chenxi Entertainment's ability, I'm afraid they can't bring out a third first-tier star.

He Yixuan took a deep breath and made up her mind again.

Arriving at the company, He Yixuan separated from them, and Seeing Jin Li asked Sister Fang about He Yixuan's appearances again.

Sui Lingfang said: "Lukewarm, still hovering at the third or fourth female lead. She has bad luck. The drama where she got the second female lead through resource exchange with Rui Entertainment has already gone online, but it didn't explode.

The costume dramas she filmed later were all third or fourth female leads. She finally accepted a youth film last year to play the second female lead, but that film was to support the rookie first female lead and rookie first male lead.

Her second female lead character setting wasn't good. The youth film went online this year and exploded a bit, but she didn't explode."

Speaking of this, Sui Lingfang felt a bit of a pity.

"She has filmed many dramas in these two years, but her luck is not very good."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while and asked: "How is the acting skill honed?"

Sui Lingfang: "I asked the acting teacher, who said it was standard, not spiritual enough, she still needs to be polished."

As a star in the same company she met not long after crossing over, Seeing Jin Li still hoped that He Yixuan could be popular.

She knew He Yixuan worked very hard, it's just that this girl's personality didn't quite suit Sister Fang's taste.

Seeing Jin Li said: "If it really doesn't work, go to variety shows to brush your face first."

Sui Lingfang sighed: "I mentioned it to her, she refuses to go on variety shows, she just insists on filming."

Seeing Jin Li frowned: "Didn't accept any variety shows this year?"

Sui Lingfang: "Don't talk about this year, she hasn't been willing to accept them since last year."

Seeing Jin Li: "Then what is she doing at Tianding Entertainment? Qinglian told me before that she saw her at Tianding Entertainment. Does the company have any film and television cooperation projects with Tianding?"

Sui Lingfang was also stunned: "No!"
