Chapter 605: Dawn plans to shoot a second part

After Xu Ting left, Bai Jiang's assistant specifically walked over and asked: "Brother Jiang, why do I feel Sister Xu's state is a bit wrong?"

Bai Jiang took the coffee handed by the assistant and said: "She is afraid."

The assistant was puzzled: "Afraid? But isn't the movie's box office very good? Although the crew used Jin Li for promotion, the heroine the movie is pushing out is still Sister Xu."

Bai Jiang shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the movie's box office; it has to do with status."

"If the movie's box office wasn't good, maybe she wouldn't be so tense. It's precisely because the movie's box office is very good that it sets off that she, the heroine, is very incompetent."

He changed the subject and suddenly asked: "Have you noticed one thing?"

Assistant: "What?"

"Xu Ting clearly has an assistant, but recently everything she does is done by herself, without letting the assistant do it."

Bai Jiang said thoughtfully: "Distrusting the assistant, suspicious by nature, plus not being valued by the crew, it is easy to have problems."

He pursed his lips, his expression a bit serious.

"I feel Xu Ting's state is very wrong. I have to communicate with the director. Now 'Dawn' box office is far ahead, I can't let others destroy this good momentum."

Xu Ting is a female star who values her career more and needs to use various methods to prove her strength.

But he is different. He is a male star. No matter how the box office results of the movie he plays the male lead in are obtained, they will always be his.

There is often such a situation in the industry: a very young actor suddenly becomes a winner of a 10-billion box office one day.

The reason is that his fans count many movies he participated in, whether as the male lead or a supporting role, to his account.

Plus, that actor is indeed very lucky. Just a few films' results broke the 10-billion box office, and fans fiercely promoted it.

From then on, this young actor also upgraded his status and received many movie invitations.

Investors are all rushing for his good luck and the fact that he has a 10-billion box office, so they invite him to participate.

Some invite him to be the male lead, some invite him to be a supporting role. Regardless of what they are rushing for, the scripts handed to him are very good.

Bai Jiang thinks he can take this path. Anyway, the reputation and results are obtained; how the process is realized is not important.

Being able to be carried by others is also a skill.

Without delay, Bai Jiang soon found Director Chu and stated the things he was worried about.

Director Chu had no expression on his face, just said: "Got it."

Bai Jiang carefully observed Director Chu, his heart sinking a bit.

Director Chu seemed to have expected it long ago and had prepared a response plan.

He didn't continue to think about it.

If Xu Ting is not honest and plays tricks in secret, she is afraid she will be in danger.

Jin Li didn't know what happened to the "Dawn" crew.

After she gathered with Meng Meng last night, she quietly took a car back to Chenxi Entertainment.

The driver was Xiao Cheng, and Jin Li sat very steadily and at ease.

Before, she could leave Chenxi Entertainment by dressing up as a cleaner to hide from the paparazzi.

This time, there were still many paparazzi squatting at the company gate, so Jin Li changed her thinking. She didn't dress up as a cleaner, but as a scrap collector.

She specifically wore a tight-fitting special garment to cover her fair skin. From an outsider's perspective, Jin Li's skin was very poor.

Jin Li wore a wig, rode a tricycle, loaded with a lot of cardboard, and passed by the paparazzi in a swaggering manner.

At this time, the sun was poisonous. Jin Li put on a mask and hat, and her eyes were made up to look more vicissitudinous.

The paparazzi stared at everyone who could enter and exit the Chenxi Entertainment gate. Seeing the clothes Jin Li wore, those people just took a look and turned their heads to chat.

"Will Jin Li really return to the company again?"

"Don't know. The company arranged two groups of people. One group has already rushed to 'I Am a Singer.' Even if they can't find Jin Li there, there is no material to write."

"Sigh, I don't want to squat anymore. Chenxi Entertainment is defending very tightly. Everyone who enters the company gate wants to be checked all over, even if it's a cleaner, they won't let go. We can't mix in."

The paparazzi squatted outside and chatted, while Jin Li had already arrived at the so-called security check entrance.

The female security guard stared at Jin Li and said seriously: "Take off your hat and mask, we need to compare with the portrait!"

Jin Li bent her eyes at her and took off her mask. The female security guard originally wanted to say something, but suddenly heard the sound of her companion gasping.

She looked up, her eyes widened, and she also gasped.

It's actually Jin Li!

The female security guard's cheek twitched, and she quickly said: "Okay, hurry in."

Jin Li didn't even pass her bag through the security check and entered Chenxi Entertainment.

The paparazzi not far away didn't react.

Jin Li went to the lobby restroom, took off all her disguises, and then contacted Sister Fang.

Sister Fang personally brought people downstairs to pick her up. Seeing Jin Li, her expression was obviously relaxed, and she said disapprovingly:

"Going out this time is still too dangerous. Some paparazzi have guessed that you pretended to be a cleaner to go out. These days, all the cleaners in the company have been stared at by paparazzi."

Jin Li smiled cunningly: "I also guessed it, so this time I dressed up as a scrap collector to come in."

Sui Lingfang choked and shook her head: "You!"

Jin Li coquettishly held Sister Fang's arm: "Didn't I have nothing to do!"

The group got on the elevator and continued to discuss her next announcements. There were many things that needed Jin Li's nod.

Jin Li held two meetings as soon as she returned, her expression slightly tired.

Although meetings can also enter a state of concentration and maintain energy, this kind of thing is ultimately different from brushing questions.

After the meeting, she took out her phone and found a missed call from Director Chu.

Jin Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked Sister Fang: "I just returned and didn't pay attention to the news on the internet. How was the box office result of 'Dawn' released yesterday?"

Sui Lingfang: "Very good. Single-day box office first, 70 million box office on the first day. I communicated with Director Chu this morning. He said today's box office might be higher than yesterday's. 'Dawn' has a good reputation on the internet."

She didn't know what she thought of, smiled: "Director Chu also specifically mentioned you, saying that if it weren't for you being particularly powerful, 'Dawn' would not have been able to stand out among the summer movies."

"He said that the movie can achieve the current results, 80% of which is your credit."

Jin Li shook her head: "Promotion is promotion. If the movie quality is not good, it won't be able to achieve such a good response. Director Chu takes my role too seriously."

She had a bottom line in her heart and dialed Director Chu back.

Originally thought Director Chu called her to talk about the box office, but didn't expect the first sentence he said was: "For the second part of 'Dawn', you be the heroine, will you participate?"

Jin Li couldn't help but be startled.

"The first part was just released. Setting the second part now, isn't it a bit too early?"

Director Chu shook his head: "No."

He said bluntly: "The quality of the movie is good, I won't be humble about this, but it cannot be denied that most of the audience watching this movie came for you."

"I took a shortcut in your scenes. Your overall scenes are not as many as Xu Ting's, but the character setting in the movie is very full and has a complete growth line, so everyone is satisfied. But this is ultimately not a movie based on you."

"If the promotion of the second part of the movie starts early and it is said to the outside that you are the heroine of the second part, the box office of 'Dawn' should be able to continue to rush higher."

Chu Chenliang clearly understood that he had picked up a leak and stood at the vent.

In the past few days, so many big brands couldn't wait to officially announce cooperation with Jin Li, just to ride her traffic buzz, cash in quickly, and improve brand value.

Just an official announcement might save the brand tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in promotion costs.

But the endorsement is ultimately separated by a layer, and Jin Li doesn't have any definite brand single items in her hand, so no style has been sold out.

But "Dawn" is different. Dawn is considered to be tied to Jin Li, cashing in her traffic.

Chu Chenliang thought, since it has already been bundled for promotion, it is better to lock it completely, take the opportunity to announce the second part and reveal Jin Li as the heroine, making this traffic come more violently.

After Jin Li finished listening, her brows slightly frowned, pondered for a while and said: "I don't oppose you saying to the outside that you are shooting a second part and promoting me as the heroine of the second part. This is all good and no harm to me."

"But now the movie has just been released. If it is announced to the outside immediately, will it be too anxious?"

"Director Chu, I think we can wait and see. 'Dawn' is a good movie. I don't want the achievements it has achieved to be all brought by me. Even without me, it can be very good."

Chu Chenliang laughed loudly. Jin Li's words hit his heart.

Xu Ting actually doesn't understand Chu Chenliang and doesn't understand that as a great director, they are actually very proud.

Now the outside world evaluates that "Dawn" can achieve such achievements, all brought by Jin Li, all focused on Jin Li, not relying on the quality of the movie itself.

Director Chu heard these evaluations, and actually felt uncomfortable in his heart.

But he is a director and can see reality more clearly.

Nothing can explain the quality of a movie better than the box office.

Now the audience came because of Jin Li, but after a few years, the buzz of Jin Li will fade, and everyone will return to the quality of the movie itself.

Classic movies are never afraid of the passage of time, nor are they afraid of any discussion in any era.

Now Jin Li is thinking from the perspective of the movie, and Director Chu is quite gratified.

He can feel that Jin Li's buzz has exploded in the past few days, but she herself has not floated.

Director Chu said: "I won't announce it so quickly. I plan to wait for a week or the middle of the month to announce it. I'm just saying hello to you now."

Jin Li's brows relaxed: "Good, I will mention it to the manager."

Director Chu thought for a moment and said: "Right, there is one more thing. I think it is necessary for you to know."

After finishing the call with Director Chu, Jin Li relayed Chu Chenliang's thoughts to Sister Fang. Sister Fang was surprised and happy, and a bit worried.

"With the current momentum of 'Dawn', shooting a second part is possible, but announcing it too early is not good. Let's wait and see."

"Director Chu thinks so highly of you, I am very happy, but I am worried that his high regard will bring you pressure."

"You also know that many movies often choose to shoot a second sequel because the previous work is outstanding, but the results of the second part are often not as good as the first part."

"This part you are ultimately not the heroine. Even if the movie uses you as the main promotion, but you are not the heroine, I am afraid that there will be many criticisms from netizens when shooting the second part."

The points of criticism can be thought of easily.

Something like Jin Li can only rely on hype, Jin Li has no strength without hype, Jin Li's acting skills are not good and all rely on fans to lift up...

But these are experiences that must be had after becoming famous.

No star has not risen with controversy.

Jin Li was very calm about this: "Future things will be discussed in the future. Thinking too much is useless."

She changed the subject, "Just now Director Chu told me one thing, saying that if the actors in the crew splash dirty water on me, don't have any scruples, just return the reply directly."

Sui Lingfang's brows twisted, "Actors in the crew?"

"What's going on? 'Dawn' box office is a great success, the actors in the crew are still not satisfied. They don't thank you and worship you, I think they are not dedicated."

Jin Li said lightly: "Heroine Xu Ting."

Hearing this name, Sister Fang was silent for a while, a touch of understanding flashed in her eyes.

She instead understood a bit.

"She is the heroine of this play, but the limelight was all snatched away by you. It's not strange that she is unwilling. As an actor, naturally, she hopes that her acting skills can be recognized by the public, rather than being overshadowed by the supporting role."

Sui Lingfang: "But this is not the reason for her to splash dirty water on you. The circle is like this. If the fame is not as big as others, you have to be overshadowed by others."

"Don't worry, I will call people to focus on her." Sister Fang said neatly.

March Sky here.

Zhang Guang grinded with 【Yajun】 Watches for a few days. The brand went from not understanding and being speechless at the beginning to accepting Zhang Guang's statement later.

The Six Arts of a Gentleman represent six series, among which "Calligraphy" and "Mathematics" belong to the minor arts, suitable for development.

No matter how you toss, it won't affect the brand's core.

So in recent years, the company has thought of many styles that can attract young people in these two series, boldly using more bright colors, and some styles are not steady at all, very flowery.

The pity is that the sales of these two series in recent years are not satisfactory.

Although the sales look good, after tossing for so long, the brand actually wants some of the main products of these two series to explode.

As if in the dark, it was missing a breath. The main products of the two series could only be small fires, but they could never get out of the circle and become explosive products.

Zhang Guang's proposal gave 【Yajun】 Watches a new direction.

In the past few days, they have often held meetings internally to discuss whether their strategy was wrong from the beginning. If they introduce an ambassador who can better represent young people, can it reverse the growth of product sales?

To convince 【Yajun】, Zhang Guang also said confidently: "'Calligraphy' and 'Mathematics' belong to the minor arts, but they can also represent young people, representing young people who are growing."

"If Yajun can do better in these two series, they can wrap up a person's life of watches. Successful people never have just one watch!"

Under Zhang Guang's soft and hard grinding, originally Yajun Watches wanted to cooperate with Gu Cheng, but instead, it finalized the endorsement with March Sky faster than Gu Cheng.

March Sky, became the global ambassador for 【Yajun】 Watches' "Mathematics" series! ===== CHAPTER 606 =====
