Chapter 419: Bad Luck Descends

Li Xunfang's agent Zhao Rui just hung up a call from a brand party.

She still had the anger from the communication on the phone on her face, and turned to look at Li Xunfang sitting on the sofa.

"It has been proven that it was the brand party's assembly error, which caused the electric car to suddenly self-ignite under the sun."

Li Xunfang asked: "Are you sure it wasn't the seller's misoperation?"

Zhao Rui shook her head: "No, the brand party has already admitted defeat, saying it was an assembly error when leaving the factory."

Li Xunfang frowned: "They aren't claiming that every electric car leaving the factory will go through several inspections? An assembly error actually caused the electric car battery to self-ignite under the sun, this is too exaggerated!"

She asked her inner thoughts: "Is it that the battery quality of this electric car brand is problematic? It uses bad batteries to fool customers?"

Zhao Rui's eyelids jumped, thinking she also thought so, but she couldn't say this to Li Xunfang.

What if Li Xunfang wanted to call the team again and hurriedly whitewash herself, then what should she do?

Would another farce similar to Yamei happen?

At the beginning, the team splashed dirty water on Yamei so quickly because of Li Xunfang's request.

Li Xunfang was worried that "customer allergic use" would involve her, so she started public relations before Yamei had the accident investigation conclusion.

Who knew Yamei would explode at one point, completely ignoring the contract, and publicly slandering Li Xunfang's image.

Zhao Rui said: "The brand has already issued an investigation report, and the result shows it's not a battery quality problem that caused the self-ignition under the sun."

After this Yamei incident, Li Xunfang finally learned a lesson from a mistake and didn't rashly start public relations before the brand had an accident conclusion.

Li Xunfang's small face was tight: "Do you believe the brand?"

Zhao Rui shook her head: "It's not that I believe the brand, but the brand has already issued an investigation report and took the initiative to contact the buyer for negotiation, so it's not easy for us to intervene."

Li Xunfang said coldly: "If it's a battery quality problem, then this brand will be exposed by customers one after another. I am still its spokesperson, and I will have trouble too."

Who could have known that in the era when loans skyrocketed a few years ago, because she was worried that the interest was too high and many people wouldn't be able to repay, leading to an explosion.

So she didn't take endorsements related to loans, but instead took many endorsements in the real manufacturing industry.

Didn't expect that nothing happened in the past two years, but this year they all rushed to have problems.

Zhao Rui comforted her: "I have already communicated with the brand about this. If it is exposed again that their battery self-ignites, and it's no longer an individual case, you will automatically terminate the contract with the brand, and the brand agreed."

Li Xunfang's face looked much better at this time, and she was quite satisfied with this handling.

She wanted to ask about the script, when Zhao Rui's phone rang again.

She picked up the phone and saw it was a call from a snack brand person in charge. Her eyelids jumped again.

Could it be that there was a problem again?

Zhao Rui picked up the phone, and the person in charge chatted with her politely before saying hesitantly:

"Yesterday we received a call from the Commercial Bureau, saying that there were many customer complaints, about the dosage of preservatives..."

Zhao Rui's eyes went black.

Li Xunfang's endorsement had problems again!

She couldn't help but turn to look at Li Xunfang. Was Li Xunfang a bit unlucky recently? Why did the endorsements she took always have problems? It wasn't like this before.

Absolutely!

Zhao Rui couldn't help but say to Li Xunfang: "Xunfang, do you feel you are a bit unlucky?"

Jin Li didn't know that the backlash caused by some stars specifically targeting her had come.

After returning to the hotel at night, she practiced dancing for half an hour, brushed questions for an hour, and then spent half an hour studying the role of "Ruan Ruan."

When the time was about right, she decisively turned off the machine and went to sleep.

She was becoming more and more handy at the profession of actor.

One minute on stage, ten years of work off stage. If you want the audience to feel your acting is good, you have to do a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation.

Through a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation, starting from role understanding, emotional expression, detail processing, and immediate reaction, showing professional quality, can make the audience feel that the actor acts very truly.

"Real" is the most positive and beautiful vocabulary an actor can give a role.

You must make the audience think that there really is such a person in real life, so the audience won't feel it's detached from reality and will feel the actor acts well.

The time Jin Li got the final finalized script was still too short.

The preparations made before were all based on the previous draft. After getting the final script, it wasn't far from entering the crew, so Jin Li often felt her preparation was very insufficient when shooting.

Because the preparation was insufficient, although she had always been in a focused state when filming, she entered the role a bit slowly.

After shooting for a week, she communicated with the director about whether she could add more detailed depictions of "Ruan Ruan."

If she were a mature actor, she should have noticed that the script's shaping of Ruan Ruan wasn't enough on the first day of shooting and communicated with the director immediately.

This wouldn't have wasted a week's time and left some regrets for herself.

The plot shot in that week, Jin Li felt her handling wasn't bad, but it was only on the passing line, and she could do better.

Because entering the state slowly, Jin Li felt her excavation of the character setting wasn't enough, and she made up lessons every night after finishing the play in the crew.

Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng communicated in the living room after Jin Li fell asleep.

Xiao Cheng sighed: "Jin Li's work and rest are so healthy, she goes to bed on time every day, but everything she needs to do is not missed. She is so self-disciplined."

Chen Qin said: "Otherwise, why can she be a first-line, why do so many fans like her? Just because she live streams studying every day, she is already a person with perseverance."

Chen Qin thought for a moment and said: "But it's not that she achieved so much success because she is self-disciplined and has perseverance, but because she is self-disciplined and has perseverance, so she can achieve success."

"As long as we become self-disciplined and have perseverance, we can also succeed!" Chen Qin cheered Xiao Cheng up.

Xiao Cheng nodded, not knowing what she thought of, and suddenly asked: "Then what direction should my self-discipline and perseverance exert force?"

The job of assistant is just like that, spinning around the star all day.

It's impossible to use this self-discipline on the star, right?

Chen Qin said uncertainly: "Didn't Jin Li and Sister Fang both say your driving skills are very good? Why don't you take a racing driver test?"

Xiao Cheng's eyes widened, and a flash of excited light flashed in her eyes: "Good idea!!"

In the past, she felt that driving skills were enough, as long as she could shake off paparazzi, and drive steadily.

But under Jin Li's stimulation, Xiao Cheng felt that maybe she could really continue to study further.

The next day, Jin Li had scenes from morning to afternoon, but the scenes weren't many, all of which were fragmented fragments.

The only one that was relatively important was the rival scene with Xu Ting in the afternoon.

But this scene wasn't difficult, just a small dispute between Ruan Ruan and Su Yuxuan about picking up supplies.

Su Yuxuan wanted to take medicine, because getting sick without medicine is very fatal, especially in an environment like the doomsday, it's hard not to get sick.

But Ruan Ruan wanted to take food more. The doomsday arrived, and people were going to be hungry, so where would they care about getting sick?

The two people's starting points are different, but their ideas are both correct; whether it's food or medicine, the more you collect, the better.

This scene is a competition for the right of first pick-up.

There is more than one survivor squad around them; their manpower is limited. If they take one of the supplies today, they have to return to the safe zone and start again tomorrow.

This means other supplies are very likely to be taken by others, so everyone has to consider what to prioritize.

"No, I don't agree! We must take the food first; we are already very short on grain!"

In an empty factory building, Ruan Ruanruan loudly proposed.

The others were hungry and couldn't help but echo.

"Yeah, let's take the food; our stuff is almost eaten up. If we don't take the food and someone else takes it first, what will we do?"

"Take the food, there's only one supermarket around here!"

"Just take the food; if I don't take the food, I feel like I'm going to starve to death. My stomach is twitching, it hurts a lot."

Su Yuxuan said expressionlessly: "Prioritize the medicine!

Your stomach hurts because you have a stomach ailment. At a time like this, you must prioritize medicine. The number of pharmacies is not as high as the number of convenience stores, and the inventory of medicine is limited, while the inventory of grain is relatively large."

Ruan Ruanruan held her head high with an unyielding look: "No, it must be food! We'll go get the medicine tomorrow; other survivor squads won't think of going to get medicine."

Su Yuxuan sneered: "Don't think everyone else is as stupid as you!"

"Cut!" Director Chu called cut, his expression serious as he said: "Reshoot! Xu Ting, your expression is wrong."

Xu Ting walked over, looking at the footage captured on the monitor, unable to react for a moment as to where the expression was wrong.

Director Chu pointed to the last captured footage, "It's not done right here. Su Yuxuan's character is cold, or you could say aloof, so she doesn't easily let her emotions be stirred by many things.

But in the performance here, that sneer of yours shows too much contempt for Ruan Ruanruan, and the expression is too lively, which doesn't match Su Yuxuan's overall cold temperament."

Strictly speaking, Su Yuxuan has no ill will toward Ruan Ruanruan, because she doesn't care about her at all.

Because she doesn't care, she doesn't pay attention, and her emotions won't be displayed when facing her.

But Su Yuxuan's sneer just now felt like pulling the cold goddess down from the altar, instantly making this character setting too vulgar.

This is the reason Director Chu had to call for a reshoot.

A reshoot doesn't mean reshooting everything, but rather continuing to film the scenes that weren't performed well.

Reminded by Director Chu, Xu Ting straightened the expression on her face, lowered her eyes, and delivered the lines that had just been interrupted: "Don't think everyone else is as stupid as you."

"We are surrounded by teachers and students from 985 universities; they won't fail to think of the scarcity of medicine. I believe that when we search for medicine, we will also have conflicts with them."

Ruan Ruanruan's eyes rolled around: "Then that's even better! They go search for medicine, we go search for food. It's best to empty out the nearby convenience stores and leave nothing for them; we won't conflict with each other!"

Xu Ting tightened her face, still maintaining an indifferent expression: "If they get the medicine, they get the right to speak. When people here get sick, we'll need to use grain to trade for medicine from them. Do you think grain is more important, or medicine?"

Director Chu frowned.

Wrong, still wrong, the expression is wrong.

Xu Ting's performance of the emotion was too indifferent.

Before, it needed to be indifferent because the first time Ruan Ruanruan's stupidity hadn't made her angry, but the second time Ruan Ruanruan talked back, no matter how indifferent Su Yuxuan's temperament was, she would be amused by her stupidity.

So this line of hers should be delivered while staring at Ruan Ruanruan, with a half-smiling tone.

Director Chu knew that actors have their own interpretations of characters, and directors shouldn't always interfere with the ideas actors want to express.

But in this scene, Xu Ting's performance was truly not good.

If it were broadcast, everyone would focus their attention on Jin Li; Xu Ting was completely overshadowed by Jin Li's acting!

"Cut!" Director Chu considered it and called stop.

He called Xu Ting over separately to analyze the psychological activities of Su Yuxuan in this scene.

Chen Qin took the opportunity to hand Jin Li water and her 'Five-Three' books.

Jin Li drank water while glancing at the problems; there should be a ten-minute break this time, and she couldn't miss this time.

For others, the scene transitions are too fast, making it easy to lack energy, but Jin Li is not like that.

Instead, doing problems allows her to maintain her energy and enter the state even faster.

Seeing this, the rest of the crew couldn't help but click their tongues in secret.

Intense, too intense!

Some staff members gathered together and whispered.

"I didn't believe the evaluations of Jin Li before, but now I believe it; she's really too hardworking!"

"I wonder how Jin Li's grades are?"

"Didn't you watch the live stream? Jin Li's grades are said to be okay; she should be able to get into a second-tier university if she takes the college entrance exam."

Some employees wanted to curry favor with Jin Li, but seeing her like this, they didn't know where to start.

Once the break was over, Jin Li put down her 'Five-Three' books and refocused her spirit on acting.

After adjustments, Xu Ting reshot that segment, making a different expression.

Others didn't understand what difference the two expressions would make to the plot, but subconsciously felt that the latter half-smiling expression looked more into the role.

But Xu Ting's state today was very poor.

This segment of the play is about Su Yuxuan convincing the others to decide to go find medicine first.

Almost every line she delivered, Director Chu had to call cut and then give guidance, leading to the filming schedule falling behind, finishing an hour later than the originally scheduled time.

Jin Li got into the car and saw Xu Ting and her assistant passing by the front of the car; their car was parked further away.

Seeing Xu Ting's ugly expression, Chen Qin said curiously: "She's in a really bad state today!"

Jin Li: "Why do you say that?"

Chen Qin: "Today is the day she had the most NGs. Every time she said a line, the director had to teach her hand-in-hand, but you don't need that. Your state is better than hers, and I feel your acting is also better than hers."

Jin Li smiled: "That's a bit of a backhanded compliment."

Chen Qin shook her head quickly: "No, I really feel that way. The Ruan Ruanruan you play is much more natural than her; not everyone can perform 'stupidity' so confidently, while also making people feel that it's no wonder she's that stupid."

Jin Li laughed: "I really don't know if you're praising me or taking the opportunity to insult me."

Chen Qin said sycophantically: "Of course I'm praising you."

Xiao Cheng, who was driving in front, also chimed in: "Sister Jin Li, if her state is always this bad, will the crew's progress be very delayed?"

Jin Li pondered for a moment and said: "She is a professional actor; she will adjust quickly. I believe in Director Chu's vision."
