Chapter 670: Investment recovery

Gu Cheng and Jin Li finished the exam and joined the crew for a week. The investors of the movie suddenly came in a group, wanting to see how the filming progress of the crew was.

This visit was not told to anyone, and they all came quietly. They only notified the director after arriving at the gate of the crew.

The director hurriedly took them in, and just happened to meet the scenes of Jin Li and Gu Cheng.

The investors were relatively old. Maybe the older they get, the more nostalgic they are. Seeing two young people performing campus life, they couldn't help but feel a burst of nostalgia.

They didn't understand whether the actors' acting skills were good or not, nor did they understand whether the plot design was okay, they just watched Jin Li and Gu Cheng wearing school uniforms and chattering and playing.

They only had one feeling, that is, youth is really good!

So good that even they seemed to return to youth and came to the campus era.

Just watching the interaction between the two actors, they felt that they had become younger.

An investor couldn't help but say: "Back then, I was the first student in our village to get into university, but I didn't have money to go.

I relied on the villagers, uncles, and uncles in the village, giving eggs here, red cloth there, those with money giving money, those with strength giving strength, to accumulate the tuition for the first year of university."

Another investor said proudly: "Although I am not the first one in our village to get into university, I am the first one in our village to get into a key university. Back then, the village and the town gave us a bonus!"

Other investors said: "You are really amazing, I am neither the first one in the village to get into, nor did I get into a key university.

But I got into the same university as my wife. We were childhood sweethearts and got married in university.

After graduating from university, we had a baby. I started a family before establishing a career. After having children, my heart settled down, and then I started a business. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to catch a wave of wind and accumulate some retirement money."

Other investors couldn't help but be speechless.

Damn it, why is there a feeling of being shown off?!

No matter what grade they reach, dog food will be eaten full.

After Jin Li and Gu Cheng finished filming the corresponding scenes, the two chatted with the investors.

Some people feel that stars still need to be supported by capital, wear clothes specified by brands when attending any occasion, have no freedom to dress, and have to bring goods at some brand banquets to impact sales.

But that is limited to young students and young flowers with decent popularity.

At the status of Jin Li and Gu Cheng, it is not the two who go to please the investors, but the investors who want to cooperate with the two.

Especially thinking about the *Jin Se* double cover shot by the two in September, it simply created a sales miracle in the industry for nearly twenty years, knowing how much netizens are looking forward to the cooperation of these two.

As long as this play is filmed, and the cooperation of the two is released during the promotion period, the movie reservation will definitely explode.

"Jin Li, are you still adapting to the crew recently?" An investor asked her about her well-being.

Jin Li smiled and said: "Still quite adapting."

Another investor was also spinning around Gu Cheng, asking if he was busy recently and inquiring about his whereabouts.

Recently, Jin Li's whereabouts were easier to inquire about than Gu Cheng's, because everyone knew she joined the crew to film.

And Gu Cheng only joined the crew for half a month, and after that, he would go to other places. Zhang Guang kept the itinerary of every member of Sanyuetian secret, and his mouth was particularly strict.

They called until the phone exploded, but couldn't get an accurate itinerary.

These investors all wanted Jin Li and Gu Cheng to participate in their brand stand activities to pull popularity.

But the two stars didn't give a clear reply, only saying that everything depends on the agent's arrangement.

However, the investors were satisfied, after all, they didn't reply to others, everyone didn't invite, and it was rounded up that no one lost.

These investors just went through the motions, ate with all the members of the crew at night, and left.

Director Xu was a bit uneasy when he heard the sudden visit of the investors.

He had dealt with these investors many times before. When filming before, they would pick thorns in the crew, complaining that he spent money on places that didn't need to be spent.

If the investors were dissatisfied with the filming progress, they wouldn't mention it to the actors, but instead put pressure on him, the director, to film quickly.

Director Xu complained about this.

Was it that he didn't want to film faster?

It was that the acting skills of the top traffic stars could only film to this progress, and they couldn't be beaten or scolded, so it was so dragging.

Before, his status in the hearts of investors was that of a punching bag.

But this time, maybe thanks to Jin Li and Gu Cheng, it was the first time he saw investors treat him so friendly.

Before leaving, the investors specifically communicated with Director Xu, and Director Xu actually enjoyed the treatment of being asked about his well-being!

These investors specifically said: "Film well, film seriously, don't worry about catching up on progress, what we want to do is boutique. If you don't have enough money, tell us!"

Director Xu was a bit confused. When could he still get investors to feed him?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jin Li and Gu Cheng behind him, deeply feeling how important it is to have a good actor in the crew.

After Gu Cheng joined, the filming efficiency of the crew went up to another level.

Now Director Xu had to break the agreement with Jin Li, because he really couldn't do it to let her NG three times!

The tacit understanding between the two was too sufficient. Although the character settings in the script and the real personalities between the two were different, acting together could produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

Director Xu had also learned about the works of the two top traffic stars before filming, especially the "Love and Kill CP" video that was most widely circulated among fans. He watched it no less than dozens of times.

This video edited the performance of Jin Li and Gu Cheng in *Assassination*, selecting the parts that made fans' hearts beat the most.

Although there were no intimate scenes, and the two were only hugging purely, it still made fans scream wildly.

But in Director Xu's eyes, he didn't get the CP feeling of the two, only feeling that the fans were a bit "love the house and love the crow."

Just this scene that couldn't be clearer, there was no ambiguity between the eyes, and it would also make people feel heartbeat?

But really after Gu Cheng came to the crew, Director Xu instead could get the cuteness of the fans.

Too matching!

One cold and aloof, one frank and true, one excellent student, one poor student, this complementary CP feeling came as soon as it came!

In addition, as long as the two were in the same frame, it seemed to bring its own atmosphere.

This was not Director Xu's boasting, but even the screenwriter thought so. Clearly, the lens didn't install a filter, so why could it feel a breath of youth and beauty?

In the end, Director Xu and the screenwriter attributed it to the fact that the appearance of the two actors was really pleasing to the eye. Seeing the two walking together could make people feel an extremely pleasant emotion.

Because the efficiency improved, Gu Cheng only stayed in the crew for ten days and finished all his scenes.

But he was still pulled by the director to stay for five more days, and these five days thought of ways to add some scenes to him.

Zhang Guang asked him every day on WeChat when he finished filming. Gu Cheng's answer was always only two words: 【No】.

Until the agreed 15-day time arrived, Gu Cheng then left the crew slowly.

Zhang Guang drove over to pick him up and said gloomily: "Finally willing to come out, I thought you would be happy and not think about Shu, and continue to stay inside."

Gu Cheng looked over and asked with interest: "Can I?"

Zhang Guang tried his best to endure the impulse of his hands itching and said unpleasantly: "Can you your head!

Don't think I don't know that you finished filming five days ago, but you just refused to come out. Those five days were treated as your vacation.

You have to run five more announcements this month to vent the hatred in my heart!"

After venting his emotions, Zhang Guang talked about business.

"I'll take you to the brand activity site of Yajun Watches. The brand operations director is also there today. I'm specifically aiming at him.

I learned through other channels that the 【Li】 series endorsement watch you gave them is very popular, and it has broken their male watch sales record for a single category this year. I think you, the spokesperson, can continue to rush."

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, not optimistic.

"I am already the national spokesperson for the 【Li】 series. If the spokesperson level goes up one level, it will be the spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region.

Yajun Watches' headquarters is in China. If I can take the spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region, it is actually a global spokesperson for their family, which is more weighty than other regions. How can it be so easy to get."

After all, the time he endorsed was too short, and he signed the contract immediately after the college entrance exam results came out.

The watch he endorsed was only listed in October. It has only been more than two months, how can it rise so fast.

Zhang Guang shook his head, with an unfathomable expression.

"You don't understand this, right? The Six Arts of a Gentleman: Li, Yue, She, Yu, Shu, Shu. Yajun has six series under its banner. Who told you that a spokesperson can only endorse watches of a single series, can't they hold multiple positions?"

He showed his cards: "Recently I got news that the national spokesperson for the 【Yue】 series under 【Li】 was exposed for having an unclean private life.

Paparazzi shouted on the Internet to break the news, but within the last ultimatum time, the news was bought by the company where the top traffic star was located, so the breaking of the news was not successful. What I am aiming at is the national spokesperson for the 【Yue】 series."

Gu Cheng thought for a while: "But I also heard that the 【Shu】 series product endorsed by our team has become a popular single product. Can Sanyuetian take this endorsement?"

Zhang Guang shook his head: "No, this is too cost-effective. The power of the team is limited, but the energy of popular stars can be comparable to the team.

If Sanyuetian is allowed to impact this endorsement, the price will actually not be much higher than a single endorsement. For your respective development, I would rather it be obtained by you individually. You have already split up long ago. And among all members of Sanyuetian, you are more in line with the endorsement image of Yajun Watches."

Gu Cheng had no objection: "Okay, everything listens to you."

Zhang Guang smiled and said: "Don't worry, just because you are a student at Qingbei, you have more advantages than other stars."

Gu Cheng thought, didn't expect the star career to be able to rub a school glory.

On the other side, when Jin Li rested at night, she made a video call in the pink girl group.

Everyone tries to make a phone call every half month to understand each other's recent situation.

Qi Guan Mingzhu specifically mentioned the short drama she invested in with Jin Li in the group, showing off the success of this short drama investment.

The filming process of the short drama was originally short, and a powerful team could finish filming a drama in a week.

But the team of that short drama strove for perfection, and finally filmed for a month, filming both the landscape version and the portrait version, intending to run in two different forms.

The reason for filming two versions is because the director felt that the short drama already had an investment of 1 million, which was already very large. Didn't expect Qi Guan Mingzhu to pull 2 million for her.

This money is too much, and it has to be burned in the crew. The director felt that spending money was a bit soft.

So he decided to film two, and when the time comes, multiple platforms will run together, and the cost might be recovered.

Even if it can't be recovered, the loss won't be too much.

This short drama was finally titled *False Face*—flowers in the fog, can't see my true face, and can't see the heart hidden under my face.

Filmed in a month, quickly queued for review, and went online for testing half a month later.

Qi Guan Mingzhu said: "Fortunately, I asked Jin Li at that time, asking her which of those video platforms is suitable for putting boutique landscape short dramas?

As a result, Jin Li took a look and said that these platforms have their own boutique landscape short dramas to push, and may not be willing to spend effort to promote ours.

It's better to focus on some characteristic video platforms, so we decided to put the landscape short drama on B-site."

Qi Guan Mingzhu's eyes were as bright as stars, and she clapped her hands: "Guess what, we really succeeded!"

Ji Ji Qinglian asked curiously: "Is it just a landscape short drama that allowed you to recover the cost?"

Qi Guan Mingzhu shook her head: "More than that, not only recovered the cost, but we can also get dividends from it! This season, Jin Li and I both got 300,000 in dividends!"

"Wow, not bad, this money earned is not small." Xi Sister Meng Ze was diving, and couldn't help but speak when she heard this.

"If you have any good projects next time, remember to tell me, I also want to invest."

Not only Xi Sister Meng Ze thought so, but other members also thought so.

How did they forget Jin Li? With Jin Li sitting in town, small-cost investment definitely won't lose money.

Qi Guan Mingzhu said proudly: "That's also because the project I pulled is good. I have confidence in that director. She is a person who does things seriously. If she wants to film other short dramas next time, I will mention it to you."

Mentioning investment, Jin Li thought of another investment she had that was relatively profound, that is *Farming, Teenager*.

She didn't invest much in this variety show, but that's because this variety show didn't invite any traffic stars, and filming in the countryside was originally very money-saving.

She had other investments, basically related to film and television dividends. The film and television dramas she filmed could get a not-small amount of dividends.

However, the payment cycle for film and television dramas is slow, and some movie payments will be as high as three or five years, so she handed it all to Chenxi Entertainment to take care of.

After ending the video call, Jin Li took the initiative to call Fang Fang Jie, which gave Sui Sui Lingfang a fright.

Generally, only she went to find Jin Li, and Jin Li rarely took the initiative to find her.

Sui Sui Lingfang picked up the phone and hurriedly asked: "Is something wrong?"
