Chapter 721: Poaching People

And just when "Desperate Counterattack" signed Gu Cheng as the male lead, the crew also found Chenxi Entertainment, hoping to let Seeing Jin Li play a role in it.

The crew couldn't contact Seeing Jin Li directly; Seeing Jin Li was too popular now, and her private number was hard to get.

Moreover, the means of bypassing the company to contact artists were not honorable, making it look like they were being sneaky.

So the crew went to contact the company openly and honestly.

Sui Lingfang came to Seeing Jin Li's apartment outside Qingbei on the second day, mentioned this matter to her, and by the way, brought the script of "Desperate Counterattack."

Seeing Jin Li had already seen the script, but she didn't tell Sister Fang.

After hearing Sister Fang's intention, she picked up the script and flipped through it; it was almost the same as what she had seen before, with few changes.

After Seeing Jin Li finished reading, Sui Lingfang said: "'Desperate Counterattack' wants to find you to play two roles."

Seeing Jin Li raised her eyebrows and asked with some curiosity: "Two roles? There is no twin setting in this script, right?"

Sui Lingfang smiled: "It's just two roles, or let you choose one out of two."

"Whether it's the male lead's white moonlight or the female lead with more scenes, they all want you to play them."

"If you don't want to play two roles by yourself, then choose one role from them; the decision is up to you."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while and shook her head: "The female lead and the white moonlight are too similar, which makes it easy for the male lead to be unable to distinguish his feelings. I won't play the female lead."

Sui Lingfang: "Then play the male lead's white moonlight, treat it as a friendly guest appearance, and you can come back in less than 7 days of filming."

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "This is okay."

She suddenly thought of something and teased: "Actually, the role of the white moonlight can be dug deeper."

"If 'Desperate Counterattack' has the intention to shoot a second part, they can start from the role of the white moonlight, be resurrected by someone, and then be trained into a big villain or something. That way, there will be very exciting rival scenes with Gu Cheng."

Sui Lingfang had read the script, and she understood what Seeing Jin Li was talking about.

It just so happened that "Desperate Counterattack" was a long-form cool-text novel, and the novel was currently being serialized and hadn't finished yet, divided into several units.

The first part was just filming one of the units.

She said: "I will feed back your suggestion to the director. Maybe they also want to film it like this. A novel is a novel, and adapting it into film and television must make some changes."

"But the first part probably can't be changed too much; we have to wait for the second part."

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "I am not the lead in this drama, and the scenes are few, so it doesn't take up much of my time. I'll take it to play around."

Sui Lingfang said meaningfully: "Whether it's taking it to play around or wanting to see someone, you know it in your heart."

"As long as it doesn't affect your work, everything is easy to talk about."

After mentioning "Desperate Counterattack," she brought up the script "Invisible Secret."

"I heard that the adaptation of this script is not going well. After all, it's a new screenwriter, and being able to write this script was all based on a moment of inspiration."

The new screenwriter said he only spent three days finishing the script.

This is a TV drama script, and it can be completed in three days. It is conceivable that it consumes a lot of inspiration, so to adapt it, one must also rely on inspiration.

Yiyi Media is worried that it will delay your business and wants to ask if you can communicate with the screenwriter."

Seeing Jin Li was surprised.

"Their screenwriter needs inspiration, what does it have to do with me? Could it be that by communicating with me, inspiration will come?"

Sui Lingfang said: "This is a request made by the new screenwriter. They said that when this screenwriter was creating this script, the first impression was that he wanted you to participate, and he created the protagonist with you as the image."

"If you can communicate some ideas with you, he can adapt it more smoothly."

Seeing Jin Li was stunned: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "It's not a coincidence. I think this screenwriter is aiming at you."

"At that time, in order for 'Counterattack' to capture the film market in Southeast Asia, it was rumored that you were cooperating with Yiyi Media."

The media reported it in great detail, saying that you would star in a self-made TV drama by Yiyi Media."

"The screenwriters of Yiyi Media are all straw bags. They can't think of good scripts themselves, so they obtain scripts through gray transactions."

Sui Lingfang organized the news she had heard and continued:

"This new screenwriter should have learned about Yiyi Media from the media, so he submitted the script to it."

"It was originally a public submission to the mailbox, but under the operation of those straw bags, it became a buyout, and it hadn't been known to the senior management."

"If it weren't for this thorough investigation, the senior management of Yiyi Media wouldn't have thought that the mailbox for public solicitation of scripts would actually become a link in the gray industry transaction."

Seeing Jin Li said: "He looks a bit unlucky."

Sui Lingfang nodded: "It is said that when Yiyi Media found him, this screenwriter had already joined an advertising company and didn't intend to engage in the screenwriting industry."

"Think about it, just as a new screenwriter's first script, he created it with such inspiration. It would be a pity not to take this route. Fortunately, Yiyi Media poached him over."

Seeing Jin Li lowered her eyes, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly said: "Sister Fang."

Sui Lingfang: "Hmm?"

Seeing Jin Li: "Does the company have any plans to shoot film and television dramas? Even if it's just some low-cost web dramas or short dramas."

Sui Lingfang frowned and shook her head: "No, the company currently estimates that it only dares to enter the variety show industry, because our farming variety show has been made."

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "If you don't take a step forward, how do you know you can't do it?"

The topic changed a bit fast. Weren't they discussing the new screenwriter and Yiyi Media? Why did they suddenly discuss shooting web dramas?

Sui Lingfang followed her words and said: "So?"

Seeing Jin Li: "Poach this new screenwriter over. If Yiyi Media doesn't value him enough, since he has inspiration in creating scripts, I believe this is not his end point."

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows and became interested: "You want to invest in him?"

Seeing Jin Li nodded: "Yes."

"If the company doesn't sign him, then can I sign him?"

She paused and said helplessly: "Recently, I have so much money that I have nowhere to spend it. I want to try hard to spend money."

Sui Lingfang: "...... Baby, don't say that when you go outside."

Seeing Jin Li looked over, her eyes filled with confusion.

Sui Lingfang: "It's too pretentious; I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death."

Seeing Jin Li:......

Seeing Jin Li and the new screenwriter of Yiyi Media were scheduled to meet next weekend.

The new screenwriter expressed with great sincerity that he would fly to the Imperial Capital in person to cooperate with Seeing Jin Li's time, not affecting her work, and only taking time to communicate with her.

Seeing Jin Li asked a few questions about whether the travel expenses and food and accommodation for the round trip were reimbursed?

She had already added the new screenwriter's WeChat, named He Wuyou, and the meaning of the name was very good.

He Wuyou: 【Ah? Can I still ask the company for reimbursement? It was me who took the initiative to want to see you.】

He Wuyou: 【The company doesn't want me to see you, thinking it's too much of a waste of time, but I still want to talk to you.】

Seeing Jin Li: 【So Yiyi Media didn't reimburse you, and you paid for it yourself?】

He Wuyou: 【Yes, I didn't know about this. I'll ask the company if they will reimburse me later.】

Seeing Jin Li: 【You are also doing it for the sake of the script. Forget it, I will reimburse you.】

She pushed Sui Lingfang's business card over.

【You add her; she is my manager, and I have already arranged it.】

Sui Lingfang saw that there was a new stranger added to WeChat, and she was a bit puzzled about who this "He Wuyou" was.

Until she received the WeChat sent by Seeing Jin Li, her eyelids jumped slightly.

It seems that Seeing Jin Li really wants to sign this new screenwriter, even if Chenxi Entertainment has no plans to shoot short dramas or web dramas, she still wants to sign him.

She thought of the money constantly increasing in Seeing Jin Li's bank card, and suddenly she felt relieved again.

With so much money, even if she shoots a dozen bad films, it is enough for her to spend.

And this money will continue to come in.

It's impossible that not a single film has broken even.

When the script was being pushed, the news that Li Xunfang married a certain investment tycoon in the industry was finally broken.

The news Sui Lingfang received here was that this news was deliberately released, and it was very likely Li Xunfang's own doing.

Because that investment tycoon was quite low-key, and the marriage registration was also very low-key, looking like he wanted to hide the marriage.

But Li Xunfang was a star who really needed to hype up her popularity.

Her combination with this tycoon would be of great help to her connections and resources.

Before this news was broken, the popularity on the internet was occupied by Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li, and their news could often be seen in the top 10 of the hot searches.

Either they took turns, or one of them had to be on it.

And once the news of Li Xunfang's hidden marriage came out, it occupied all the major headlines. For a time, she was in the limelight, and all major resources and announcements came to her door.

Sui Lingfang learned about this and gossiped with Seeing Jin Li.

"Li Xunfang's career in the past two years hasn't been very good, barely maintaining the status of a first-tier artist, but it is also continuing to decline."

"As a female star, getting married when she is still young, she has enough courage."

"But marriage has both pros and cons. Although she chose a tycoon and can enjoy many high-quality resources, those blue-faced confidants in the past can no longer help her."

Seeing Jin Li listened to her and remembered.

Li Xunfang's private life was very chaotic, and she had been exposed before for dating multiple men in one day.

In the morning, she was rushing to this one, at noon she was rushing to that one, and in the evening she was rushing to another one, all meeting different men.

And Li Xunfang went from a small model to a first-tier big star, and the means of managing connections in the middle must be many.

Once married, the means she used in the past would not work.

Seeing Jin Li listened to it as gossip and said lightly: "This is her choice. Her personality is very tenacious. It is difficult to disappear completely in the entertainment industry. She has been sinking and floating in these years."

"Even if she gets married and settles down, and her career is stable and prosperous, a decision she makes in a few years will ruin her career, and no one can save her."

"However, she has been working hard in the entertainment industry, and she will have no worries about money for the rest of her life."

Sui Lingfang was stunned and asked: "How do you know so much? Did you find someone to calculate her specifically?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "No calculation, just looked at her physiognomy and drew some conclusions, which may not be accurate."

She changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Fang, do I have a Jin Bafu opening event to attend next weekend?"

Sui Lingfang came back to her senses: "Yes, I originally wanted to arrange an announcement for you every day for those two days, and you can participate in two brand events."

"But didn't that kid He Wuyou want to talk to you about the script adaptation on the weekend?"

"The other brand event is not important, so I helped you push it. You just became their global spokesperson for Jin Bafu, so this one cannot be pushed."

Seeing Jin Li: "Okay, can I let Gu Cheng see this script? I want him to give me some opinions."

Sui Lingfang: "You decide for yourself. The scripts we submit to you are all decided by yourself."

Seeing Jin Li didn't care about Li Xunfang's follow-up, but Lian Baozhi's manager, Lv Jieshan, still cared very much.

Lian Baozhi had just finished participating in a variety show and came to the nanny car, only to hear Lv Jieshan say seriously:

"Just got news from the variety show side, saying that the next episode's guest won't be coming, and you don't need to participate."

Lian Baozhi nodded and closed her eyes to rest.

This situation is quite common, after all, it's a guest appearance.

Participating in one episode is a guest appearance, and participating in two, three, or four episodes can also be called a guest appearance.

Anyway, the contract signed is not for a permanent resident, and permanent residents have to be there every episode.

Over the years, as a guest on variety shows, she basically only participated in three episodes, or even shorter.

Only with excellent performance and high popularity can one have the opportunity to become a permanent guest.

But this kind of opportunity is not common for her.

Because her personality cannot be greatly amplified in variety shows, and instead, her shortcomings will be exposed.

The company is worried that she will say the wrong thing in variety shows, so the announcements bought outside all say she is "true-natured."

Low EQ: Can't speak.

High EQ: True-natured.

Lian Baozhi felt that she used to be a person who was very good at drilling, otherwise she wouldn't have killed her way out of LP.

But as she went to film film and television dramas and wanted to transform into a powerful actor, she found that she really didn't like to be hypocritical with others.

Lv Jieshan's voice came from her ear: "You only participated in one episode as a guest, and according to the contract, there should be at least three episodes. The announcement side took the initiative to compensate us, and the compensation has already been paid."

Lian Baozhi frowned and opened her eyes.

"What does this mean...... We weren't naturally eliminated, but were squeezed out by an air-drop?"

Lv Jieshan nodded: "Yes."

She said with a solemn expression: "If I'm not mistaken, it's Li Xunfang. In a few days, the variety show will announce a new guest. See if it's Li Xunfang; it's ten to nine it's her."

Lian Baozhi: "Does that investment tycoon also participate in this variety show?"

Lv Jieshan: "You also know that he is an investment tycoon. This is a popular variety show. It's normal for him to participate. It's also normal for other shareholders to give him face and support his new wife."

She sighed heavily, "Li Xunfang is rising. What I'm most worried about is you. In these few years, you can be considered to have stepped on her resources to get up."

"Now that she is being supported again, although her popularity has dropped a little, it can be hyped up."

"Plus the relationship with her husband, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to participate in better variety shows."

Lian Baozhi thought for a while and was not as pessimistic as the manager.

"This also gives me more time to film. In terms of variety shows, others have resources, connections, and channels. If I can't compare, I can't compare."

"I don't believe that with her acting skills, any director would dare to pull her to act."

Lv Jieshan didn't believe it either.

But can't resist others wanting to please the investment tycoon?

However, this is the only way left for now.

Suddenly, Lian Baozhi didn't know what she thought of and said: "Let's take the invitation from 'Desperate Counterattack.' I want to go for an audition."

Lv Jieshan frowned: "But they want you to play a supporting role!"

Lian Baozhi said indifferently: "But that's a movie! If a supporting role is played well, it can attract a lot of fans." ===== CHAPTER 722 =====
