Chapter 751: Grasp the opportunity to change fate!

~14 min read 2,733 words

Next, Jin Li maintained a stable study life.

She desperately absorbed knowledge at the university and did not join the crew, so she could study wholeheartedly.

To cooperate with her schedule, the script reading originally set by Director Chu in the afternoon was also moved to the evening.

Days passed silently, without waves.

Suddenly one day, Jin Li received a WeChat message from Jian Liting.

She invited herself to participate in a play.

The name of this play is *Abyss*, which is an original integrity play in a certain city.

Jin Li was a little surprised when she received this WeChat message.

Because she was studying at Qingbei, people in the circle knew that she wanted to focus on her studies, so she was not invited to participate in activities related to the circle.

And Jian Liting invited her to participate in the play, Jin Li subconsciously felt that it was not simple.

The last time she contacted Jian Liting, Jian Liting said that she was suppressed by the company and could not participate in better announcements.

Even if the announcement party came to her, the company would recommend it to other stars.

Currently, she can only maintain her life by performing plays.

Maybe because the possibility of the play going out of the circle is too small, the company doesn't want to force her into a hurry, fish die and net breaks, so she and the company maintain this stalemate state.

From the experience of dealing with Jian Liting before, Jian Liting is a proud person. If she hadn't suffered from mental illness, she would have been working hard on the road of acting.

Even if she couldn't explode, she would try to maintain her good reputation in the industry and constantly hone her acting skills.

At that time, Jin Li felt that this was an actor with a sense of belief.

And from her physiognomy, it can be seen that she is a late bloomer.

Before blooming late, she will encounter many storms.

But as long as she can carry it down, after the wind and rain is the rainbow.

Jin Li pondered for a while and sent a message: 【Did something happen to you?】

She didn't get a reply immediately.

An hour later, her phone vibrated, Jin Li opened it, and it was Jian Liting who replied.

The content she replied was a bit complicated.

Jian Liting: 【That message just now was sent in a group. I sent it to all the stars in the circle, and only got a few replies, among which only you asked me if something happened. Others who replied to me were refusals.

My mood is a bit complicated. I feel that I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I am still alone, lonely and helpless, without even a friend.

Those people I thought were friends before now only avoid me】

Jian Liting: 【But I really have no way. The reason why I sent this WeChat message in a group is not to test the extent of my relationship with those stars, but to ask for help】

Jian Liting: 【Someone in the circle seems to be unhappy with me, specifically targeting me, making me unable to receive popular and hot plays on the market.

I haven't worked for two months. If I don't perform in a play, I won't be able to maintain my current life.

So I tried to send WeChat in a group, to see if I could get help from one or two people, join this play, and revive it......】

Jian Liting explained the cause of the matter very clearly. Jin Li could feel that under her extremely restrained words was the self-mockery of being disheartened.

She couldn't help but recall Jian Liting's previous physiognomy, there was a shallow vertical line between her eyebrows.

At that time, she felt that if this vertical line continued to deepen, it would affect her career, and even force her to retire, no longer walking on the road of acting.

But the vertical line seen at that time was very shallow, which just represented one possibility, and it was very likely not to happen.

So she didn't take it to heart.

Now listening to Jian Liting say this, the vertical line between her eyebrows seems to have deepened a lot.

Jin Li directly dialed the voice call.

Jian Liting answered quickly.

Jin Li said calmly: "Don't worry, tell me the specific reason. Who do you think you offended? You should have suspected candidates in your heart.

And how did that person snipe you? What about your company? Is it really doing nothing? Have you sought help from the company?"

A bitter smile crossed Jian Liting's face.

If it wasn't a last resort, she wouldn't ask Jin Li for help.

She sent it to many stars in a group, and had already put down all pride and face to find a way to survive.

"The person I offended might be the newcomer the company is trying to promote. She has only been out for a year, her momentum is very fierce, and she has some acting skills.

The first idol drama she filmed exploded, and the company gave all my resources to her. She filmed at least three dramas a year, without worrying about not having anything to film.

I don't know how I offended her. She has targeted me everywhere this year, and later even the plays I participated in were stirred up, and even money was used to smash people, asking them not to invite me to perform."

Jian Liting took a deep breath, a hatred flashed in her eyes.

"I mentioned this to my agent, but she only told me to endure it.

Reflecting to other senior executives of the company, they didn't take it to heart, and instead told me that the newcomer was young and ignorant, and I was a senior in the circle, so don't care about a newcomer.

Sending you WeChat in a group is my last struggle. If no one responds, I will have a fish die and net breaks with the company!"

Jin Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, daring to love and hate, very Jian Liting's style.

She has always believed that Jian Liting has a trace of madness in her bones, but it is usually suppressed.

If she really listened to the company's arrangements, she wouldn't insist on writing a book, writing down the experience of the treatment before.

Even more, she wouldn't care about her past at all, uncovering the scars of the past in front of everyone.

She should have become a puppet carefully shaped by the company, with every move monitored by the company.

Jin Li pondered for a while and said: "I understand, now I just want to ask you one thing, do you still like acting? Do you want to continue?"

Jian Liting was stunned, and then nodded firmly.

"I like acting, I want to continue acting, it is a career I have loved all my life, even if I got lost halfway, but I believe that one day I will return!"

Jin Li couldn't help but smile.

Her smile was bright and brilliant, like a warm sun in winter breaking through the haze that had lasted for many days, shining on the earth.

She suddenly mentioned another thing, "Liting, actually, the first time I saw you, I wanted to say that I have a fate with you."

Jian Liting was blank, "What?"

Jin Li returned to the topic: "When will your play be performed? I'll see if I have time."

Jian Liting still didn't react.

After a while, she said: "You... you just agreed?"

Jin Li said calmly: "I have to determine the time first, otherwise it may not be arranged."

Jian Liting breathed rapidly, a flush crossed her face, she clenched her fists tightly, and was ecstatic in her heart.

She succeeded!

She finally met someone willing to pull her!

At this time, she suddenly remembered the scene a few years ago. When she was most down and out, it was also Jin Li who pulled her.

In terms of time, Jian Liting couldn't determine it yet, but she promised Jin Li that she would definitely choose the time when she was most free.

As long as Jin Li is willing to join this play, then don't worry about the play dying, it will definitely be performed smoothly, and maybe it can become a hit.

Jin Li also got the script of *Abyss* on the same day.

After reading it, she took a long breath.

This play presents the complexity and greed deep in human nature to the audience without reservation, and warns of the danger of losing "small sections" through the trajectory of the main character's fall.

Because the play involves realistic plots, it needs to be reviewed by relevant departments before it can be performed publicly.

Jian Liting must have put a lot of effort into getting this play.

And the play she carefully selected can also mobilize the audience's emotions well.

This is an element that must be had as a hit play.

When Sui Lingfang called her to tell her about the work arrangement for the weekend, Jin Li told her about taking the play.

Sister Fang was stunned for a while, then asked puzzled: "Play? Why did you think of taking a play? I remember you are not interested in plays, right?"

Jin Li said lightly: "Because I didn't understand it in detail before, and it didn't attract me enough.

But I have learned about it recently, and I feel that the play is quite interesting, so I plan to take this play to hone myself."

Sui Lingfang said casually: "That's fine, if you are interested, then try it. Send me a copy of the production team and cast list of the play you took, and I will let the team investigate."

Jin Li: "Uh......"

It is rare to see her stuttering like this, Sui Lingfang immediately became vigilant.

"What's wrong? Inconvenient to say? What kind of play did you take?"

Jin Li blinked innocently, "It's a very serious play, the script is absolutely fine, it's just that the production team and other actors are still in preparation. The known actors are me and Jian Liting."

Sui Lingfang:......

"I thought you were really interested in plays, and wanted to help you pick some excellent play scripts to hone your acting skills, but you went to help the poor?"

Jin Li: "Uh......"

Mentioning "Jian Liting", Sui Lingfang has a deep impression.

After all, when contacting *Assassination* before, she also contacted this actor.

She also felt sorry for Jian Liting after knowing her illness.

Later, the illness was cured, but I don't know why, Jian Liting's company has been suppressing her, not giving her exposure, and in the last two years, she has been in a state of no one.

If Jin Li didn't mention this name, maybe after a while, this actor would be completely forgotten in her mind.

Now that Jin Li mentioned it, she remembered everything.

Sui Lingfang said seriously: "Jin Li, our energy in the entertainment industry is limited. It is good to take care of ourselves. It is difficult to help others every time.

I am worried that after you help her, you will get into other troubles, and she may not necessarily remember your good."

Sui Lingfang's thoughts in her heart were more direct, but she didn't say it.

She thought, Jian Liting is not an artist of Chenxi Entertainment, why help artists of other companies?

If Jin Li wants to help, then the company must include Jian Liting in her pocket, which is a cost-effective deal.

This actor's acting skills are okay, but the relationship with the company is very stiff, very unlucky, belonging to the type of talent that is not met.

Besides, "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' tiles", this is so common.

How can everyone be helped? It's not the world police, and you have to maintain the peace of the entertainment industry.

Jin Li understood Sister Fang's potential meaning.

She pondered for a while and said: "I remember Jian Liting's contract with her old owner will end next year. Do you want to talk to her in advance?"

This was said very obscurely, almost saying the two words "digging people".

Sui Lingfang was a little moved.

Jian Liting is a first-line artist with strength in her eyes. Who would dislike having too many first-line artists?

First-line artists usually don't lack announcements, and their reputation is guaranteed. Agents can get stable commissions every month.

Sui Lingfang quickly made a decision: "You send me the script first, I will find a time to contact Jian Liting to see what she thinks."

After Jin Li hung up the call with Sister Fang, she habitually opened WeChat to post moments.

Suddenly, she turned to the emergency notice sent by Director Zheng Chengxin.

【*Desperate Counterattack* crew is urgently recruiting female No. 4 (the original actor quit the crew due to physical reasons), private chat if interested! Private chat if interested! Welcome to introduce actors with free time, and will give a good introduction fee! For details, please call 135XXX, Address: XXX Film and Television City】

Seeing this circle of friends, she immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Jian Liting.

Jian Liting first returned a question mark, and then quickly sent a voice message.

She asked worriedly: "Can I do it? I'm afraid the company will intervene and give the opportunity I finally got to the newcomer who is very popular in the company."

Jin Li also replied by voice: "You go and try first, Director Zheng may not necessarily hire you.

If he hires you, your company dare not say anything. He is a well-known big director in the country anyway. Your company is too late to hold him, and dare not go against him."

Jian Liting felt certain in her heart and dialed the phone in the screenshot.

Director Zheng heard it was her, and a picture flashed in his mind.

"I remember you. You acted in a period drama before. Although the results were average, your performance won the candidate for the best heroine that year."

Tears flickered in Jian Liting's eyes, "Yes, yes, it is the drama *Road Home*."

Speaking of which, this drama was the highlight of her acting career, and she was nominated for "Best Heroine" that year.

It is a pity that talent is not as good as capital, and the "Best Heroine" of that year was finally taken by the person supported by capital.

Jian Liting didn't expect that Director Zheng still had an impression of her.

Director Zheng also remembered more things about Jian Liting at this time.

A few years ago, she was still a first-line little flower with good momentum. Although the dramas she acted in did not explode, the reputation was very good. She was a very stable artist in the circle, and using her would not go wrong.

It's just that I don't know why, she has been silent for the past two years, and I have never heard of her news again.

Director Zheng said quickly: "I need you to rush to the crew for an audition today. If possible, you have to start filming today."

Jian Liting's heart jumped heavily, knowing that this was one of the few opportunities she could grasp.

She also agreed refreshingly: "I will take a plane there now, but Director Zheng, my company may not necessarily agree to let me take this drama."

Director Zheng frowned: "What do you mean? Since you don't want to take it, why call me?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood."

Jian Liting hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to take it, but the company doesn't let me take it, doesn't want me to take it. If they know I have your resources, they might contact you and recommend my role to other actors in the company."

Zheng Chengxin's frown relaxed, and he said strongly and decisively: "You don't need to worry about this aspect. I will talk to your company, you hurry over."

"Okay, Director Zheng!"

Jian Liting replied quickly, feeling that the palm holding the phone was sweating a lot. ===== CHAPTER 752 =====
