Chapter 710

Seeing Jin Li didn't make any reaction.

After the makeup artist finished complaining, she didn't care. Anyway, she had complained for so long, and Seeing Jin Li didn't respond.

So she continued: "Actually, we internal people don't care whether he is an illegitimate son or whether he really has a blood relationship with that director. As long as you have the ability to hold on, then you can get on top."

Other people have ability but no connections. Now connections are also a kind of strength, right?

But this Photographer Chen has ability, but he is just too dawdling. He has to dawdle for a long time before he can squeeze out a good-looking photo.

This has led to the shooting progress within the company being greatly delayed in the past month, and several stars are already losing their temper."

Speaking of this, the makeup artist specifically looked at Seeing Jin Li and whispered:

"I also thought you would lose your temper, but your personality is really good. You didn't get angry even after being delayed for such a long time."

Seeing Jin Li smiled again.

It's not that her personality is good, but that she has more time than other stars, so she can afford to be delayed.

If her schedule was also very full, then Nianhua's shooting progress these past few days would be far from meeting her requirements.

During the conversation, another makeup and styling artist walked in. This was to help Seeing Jin Li change clothes and do styling.

The makeup artist immediately stopped her voice and worked wholeheartedly.

After waiting for more than two hours, Seeing Jin Li's makeup and styling were finally done, and Sui Lingfang also brought the latest news.

"I told them that I would only extend it for two days. If it can't be finished within four days, then it can only wait for your weekend schedule after school starts.

Although you only start school in September, Nianhua obviously wants to make some moves in the big magazine in October this year, so everything hopes to be completed as soon as possible.

They agreed to our requirements and will finish shooting the remaining clothes within four days."

Fang Jie finished what the editor-in-chief explained, shrugged her shoulders, and expressed her own insights:

"Anyway, I have already brought the words. How they do it is their business. Even if it can't be finished within 4 days, it can only wait for your weekend schedule when school starts.

I also told them in advance that if it can't be finished by then and is delayed to the weekend in September, don't blame us for not being affectionate.

It's so hard for you to ask for leave from school. Unless they are willing to come to the door themselves and ask for leave from the school professor for you, otherwise I won't help them and let you ask for leave."

Now that things have come to this, Sui Lingfang has also seen through it.

What is called the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry?

Since Nianhua is not in a hurry at all, they don't need to be in a hurry.

They may have forgotten that Seeing Jin Li is a top-tier star with a busy schedule.

She cannot pull out all her time to cooperate with Nianhua's shooting.

Even if Seeing Jin Li's announcements have decreased a lot compared to other artists, this does not mean that the announcement party can occupy her time.

The fewer stars who appear, the more valuable the announcements are.

Seeing Jin Li heard her finish, and just happened to have staff come up, saying that the venue was ready and the shooting was about to begin.

She was wearing a graceful and luxurious Hanfu, with a beautiful skirt hem, layered and layered across the ground.

Showing dignity and atmosphere.

Seeing Jin Li did not comment on the news brought by Fang Jie.

Whether Nianhua listened or not, she could naturally perceive it from the other party's shooting.

And while Seeing Jin Li was busy shooting Nianhua's September big cover.

Yiyi Media also experienced a wave of internal investigations here.

The contact person learned about the original work from Sui Lingfang and personally asked the screenwriter. As a result, the three screenwriters in the company all said with certainty:

"It's definitely not a secondary creation. We haven't read the original work at all. The things we compiled are all thought of by ourselves!"

The screenwriter's swearing appearance made the contact person almost believe it!

Fortunately, just before he impulsively called back to Chenxi Entertainment to guarantee again and again that the script was all original, for the sake of caution, he went to watch the original movie "The Invisible Guest" that Sui Lingfang mentioned.

Finally, the hanging heart died completely.

He had read the screenwriter's script and knew the general plot inside.

Even though half a month had passed, he was still very clear about the plot in the script.

And he was even more impressed by "The Invisible Guest" that he had just finished watching.

It was because he finished watching this movie that he understood why Chenxi Entertainment said their own script was so similar to this movie.

Although the plot is not exactly the same, it can be clearly seen that it is using someone else's framework to modify it.

It's just changing the identity of the protagonist, and then changing a worldview.

But the thoughts and core conveyed by the script are the same as the thoughts the movie wants to convey.

This degree of collision, saying it is an original script, is really far-fetched.

The screenwriter must have watched this movie and was inspired, so he created this script.

Then, the problem comes.

Even he, who is not the screenwriter himself, can feel that it is very similar. How could the screenwriter not know?

Unless even the screenwriter doesn't understand their script...

Then there is another problem here.

That is, the script was not created by their screenwriter at all!

But the screenwriter bought it through some channel!

Only in this way can they feel that the plot design in the script is wonderful without knowing the original work, and be willing to pay for it.

Thinking of this, the contact person couldn't sit still immediately.

I didn't expect that just a script would involve the company's internal corruption and not doing practical things!

He just said, no wonder this group of screenwriters sometimes produces good or bad scripts, and the level of each script is uneven.

Sometimes they can hand in better scripts in the previous quarter, and they will immediately collapse in the next quarter, looking not at all in line with the screenwriter's level.

If these scripts were all bought, rather than the screenwriter spending time thinking about them, this could be explained clearly.

The quality of the scripts they submit depends on the quality of the scripts they acquired during that period!

The contact person immediately told the guess to the senior management. The senior management was furious and immediately launched an internal investigation.

Seeing Jin Li and Sui Lingfang also didn't expect that because of their questioning, Yiyi Media found out the pus in the company!

And during the time Yiyi Media was self-checking, Seeing Jin Li was also always shooting Nianhua's cover.

This time, Nianhua did what they said.

They didn't replace Photographer Chen, but added two more photographers, which means there were three photographers shooting Seeing Jin Li.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Seeing Jin Li's pressure will be greater.

Because each photographer's style is different, the feeling the actor wants to present is also different.

This means that every time Seeing Jin Li changes into a new outfit, she has to try her best to meet the needs of each photographer, constantly switching expressions and actions.

But this is exactly what Seeing Jin Li is best at.

Like acting, the more requirements the photographer has, the easier it is for her to enter the field of being like a fish in water.

Plus, even if two photographers were added, her daily working hours were according to what the contract said, and would not be extended.

So although the number of photographers increased, her daily shooting time was still the same.

This led to the fact that the time each photographer could shoot Seeing Jin Li was not long, strictly stipulating the time.

After shooting this photographer's ten minutes, shoot that photographer's ten minutes, and then shoot another photographer's ten minutes...

Photographer Chen could no longer completely occupy Seeing Jin Li's shooting time, and with two more photographers added, Nianhua's efficiency also ran fast.

If Photographer Chen didn't take photos he was satisfied with, it didn't matter; the other two photographers could take photos with feeling.

Under the mutual rolling of the three photographers, Seeing Jin Li could rarely change into two sets of makeup and styling a day.

And in the last day of the extension, Nianhua pulled the efficiency to the full, letting Seeing Jin Li change into three sets of makeup and styling a day!

However, the last set of makeup and styling occupied more shooting time during shooting, and Seeing Jin Li worked overtime for two hours.

But it doesn't matter, Nianhua will pay the overtime pay.

At this point, Nianhua caught up with the tail of August and finally finished shooting the photos for October.

Sui Lingfang came to pick up Seeing Jin Li to the apartment in the evening when it ended, and took her back to rest directly.

She sighed: "Sure enough, people still have to be forced to test their potential, and the company is the same.

If we don't force it, who would have thought that the dawdling Nianhua could also become efficient!

If I had known they had such good efficiency, I shouldn't have been dragged by them for three days at the beginning. I should have made requirements from the 1st day, so you could have more time to run other announcements."

Seeing Jin Li was removing makeup in the car.

After she finished shooting, she changed her clothes and hairstyle, and didn't remove makeup there, but went back to remove it.

After removing makeup, she said: "After all, it's the first time to cooperate with Nianhua, and we don't know their style.

If there is a chance to cooperate again in the future, then we can make requirements."

She thought of something and asked: "By the way, is there any news from Yiyi Media?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "No, after I talked to the contact person last time, his attitude was quite good, saying he would check it first.

Then there was no news. I suspect that eight or nine out of ten this script was adapted from the movie you mentioned. They are probably busy buying copyright and cleaning up the aftermath.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be no news, especially since this is a script you value, and they treat it as a big project internally."

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "Notify me as soon as there is any news."

She thought for a while and said: "The script of "Dawn 2" has been changing. There was some news in the first half of the year, but now there is no sound at all. I don't know if it is still changing or if it is undergoing final adjustments.

Originally, my winter vacation schedule was reserved for "Dawn 2," but their script was late to come out. I'm afraid it won't use my winter vacation schedule. I want to reserve the schedule for Yiyi Media's TV series."

Sui Lingfang hesitated: "What if the problem with Yiyi Media's script still hasn't been solved?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "Then wait and see. I will start school in a few days. There are still several months before winter vacation. Maybe I can receive a script I am more satisfied with during this period?

At worst, I will temporarily not shoot movies, rest for a while, quietly wait for the script, and enter the crew next summer."

"Fang Jie, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I think there is no shortage of good scripts in the circle. Maybe they will gush out in a certain period of time. What we need is patience."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while and suddenly smiled.

"Well, it's good for you not to shoot movies. Many brand activities are waiting for you to participate, and there are brand-new endorsements to shoot.

Several brands are urging me to let you vacate the schedule to renew their commercials.

But you have been busy, and recently you have been busy shooting top magazine covers. Things have priorities, and I can only say sorry to other brands.

If you don't shoot movies next year, those brands waiting to be fed will probably be happy crazy.

Besides that, there are many collaborations on joint products. There are really too many good products, and the brands are very sincere, taking out the products they push heavily this season to cooperate with you. I have always wanted to talk to you about products..."

Don't look at Seeing Jin Li not participating in variety shows, basically just joining the crew to shoot movies, it seems very leisurely.

But first-tier stars cannot be leisurely, let alone popular stars like Seeing Jin Li.

Without variety shows, without the crew, there are various brand activities, endorsement activities, and brand online and offline promotion.

If the movies Seeing Jin Li shot before are promoted overseas, she also needs to sit in town.

Not to mention other public welfare publicity, cultural communication publicity, and cooperation with local various anti-fraud, intangible cultural heritage publicity, etc.

A popular star is too easy to fill her schedule.

And just the day before Seeing Jin Li was about to start school, Sui Lingfang finally received a reply from Yiyi Media.

The contact person asked very carefully: "We have other very good scripts. Why don't you go and look at them again, pick a few more, and let's have a comparison?"

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows when she heard this and was happy.

"Bright people don't speak dark words, President Yang, I will ask directly, is there a problem inside you?"

President Yang subconsciously denied three times: "No, not, impossible."

Sui Lingfang: "If there is no problem inside you, you wouldn't think "The Invisible Secret" has no potential, you wouldn't want to shoot it, and you wouldn't find an excuse to let us look at other scripts."

President Yang:...

Sui Lingfang: "You might as well say it directly, what hidden dangers does this script have that makes you not want to shoot it.

Since it could be handed to us at the beginning, it means that you are also optimistic about this script and feel that it can explode."

President Yang hesitated for a while, sighed and said: "This script is not ours."

Sui Lingfang frowned, "What do you mean?"

President Yang sighed again, "We checked internally and found out that the script was not written by the company's screenwriter, but was bought by the screenwriter from a new screenwriter through some channel.

They have already signed a contract, and the ownership of the script belongs to the screenwriter in the company, so to some extent, it can also be said to be the company's script.

Since the contract has been signed, there is no big problem, but the problem lies in the script.

We didn't know it was an adapted script and always thought it was an original script. The person who wrote this script at the beginning didn't explain it either.

Now we can't find this person, and we have no reason to find him. After all, the buyout contract is signed, the money and goods are cleared, and it is impossible to return the money."

Even though they also know that this person breached the contract, what they said at the beginning was that they must have an original script, not an adapted script.

But the script trade belongs to the gray area. If you buy it and find out you were pitted, you can only eat this dumb loss hard.

Yiyi Media is a big company anyway, it needs some face, and it won't really care so much.

And the price of these bought-out scripts is not high, it really can only deceive newcomers.

After Sui Lingfang heard him finish, she suddenly asked a question:

"Since this script has been bought out by your screenwriter, that is, the commercial copyright of the script has been taken away, then the script belongs to your screenwriter.

You only need to find the original author and talk about the adaptation rights to shoot this drama. Why don't you take the adaptation rights?"

She paused specifically and asked suspiciously: "Or is it that your screenwriter does not have the confidence to adapt this drama again?"
