Chapter 755: Jian Liting

741 Jian Liting's matter is settled, using metaphysics to defeat psychology (ask for monthly tickets)

Jian Liting's news has been raging on the hot search list for several days, and finally ushered in the curtain call.

The hot spots on the Internet were covered by new topics, but some netizens paid attention to the follow-up, including Jian Liting's fans.

One day, the fan support club suddenly exposed:

【Jian Liting has negotiated with the company. After filming this drama of Director Zheng, she will be temporarily silent and continue to take root in play performance.

In the second half of the year, she is very likely to cooperate with a popular artist to perform a play, everyone can look forward to it!】

Netizens who pay attention to Jian Liting's fan support club are old fans who have been chasing Jian Liting for several years, and have always been very concerned about her career development.

At this time, seeing that the president of the support club seems to have exclusive channel news, they left messages to inquire one after another.

【Director Zheng's movie is adapted from an original work with a strong IP. Jian Liting can play a role in it. After the movie is broadcast, she will definitely get a lot of exposure.

Shouldn't her company strike while the iron is hot, pick up some film and television dramas for her, so that after the movie goes online, there will be other dramas to pick up, further consolidating popularity?】

【Why perform in a play? I am not very interested in plays, and the threshold for appreciating plays is relatively high】

【Who is the popular star she cooperates with? Shouldn't it be Jin Li? I heard that Liting had the opportunity to appear in the movie this time, which was introduced by Jin Li】

Fans left many questions, but the president of the support club only cared about the exposure, and never went online again after the exposure was completed.

Only when Jian Liting has new exposures will she go online to say a word.

And in real life, Jian Liting did negotiate the dispute about appearing in this movie with the company.

How to solve it, it was still the solution proposed by Chenxi Entertainment.

Although Jian Liting has signed a contract intention agreement with Chenxi Entertainment, she has not terminated the contract after all, so Sui Lingfang is not easy to come forward on her behalf, but she gave Jian Liting a set of efficient

Sui Lingfang believes that avoidance is not a good method.

Do not think that avoidance is shameful but useful.

In real life, some things can be delayed, but some things cannot be delayed.

Especially regarding contracts, every word in black and white is written very clearly.

If she continues to drag this out, her company might take legal action, and at that time, it will also implicate Director Zheng.

Even if Director Zheng does not seem afraid of their lawsuit right now, this will ultimately become a stain, large or small, on the *Desperate Counterattack* production crew.

Sui Lingfang said bluntly: "Since Director Zheng gave you the opportunity to act, I think it is best not to return kindness with ingratitude; you should resolve the issues between you and your company as soon as possible.

After all, you are not an artist under Director Zheng's management; what he can do is actually very limited and cannot fully represent your stance."

A bitter smile flashed across Jian Liting's face: "Sister Fang, I am very grateful that you came to the set to find me in person, signed an intent agreement with me, and were even willing to propose a solution for me.

I will also tell you the truth: I cannot reach an agreement with my company.

They just want me to withdraw from the *Desperate Counterattack* crew, but I haven't told them yet that I haven't signed a performance contract and have always been helping the crew for free."

Sui Lingfang pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "This method of yours is okay, but it can only avoid the issue for a while; it cannot solve the problem in the end.

After all, your contributions to the crew are real; even without a signed contract, you can still sue to recover your salary later."

Speaking of this, she paused intentionally: "I can understand why your company doesn't want to promote you and is turning to promote other newcomers instead."

She did not believe that Jian Liting could not perceive the problem; it was just that she estimated she had no intention of changing, which is why she was completely abandoned by the company.

Jian Liting was silent for a while, then told her about her thoughts after she recovered.

Then she was met with opposition from the company, and in the end, the company completely banned all her film contracts, not even allowing her to take commercial advertisements.

After listening, Sui Lingfang looked at her with some frustration: "You are stupid. You clearly had a better solution, so why did you have to choose a path where both sides suffer?

Since you wanted to publish a book, you should have gone to publish it secretly. You should have grasped both the film career and business side; once you signed a pile of contracts, if you didn't film, you would have to pay huge breach-of-contract fees. What else could your company do to you?

Yet, just when you had recovered, you hurriedly spoke about your idea of wanting to publish a book.

At that time, your announcements hadn't recovered, and you had already been silent for a year or two; if the company didn't take you to the chopping block then, when were they supposed to wait for?"

Jian Liting listened in a daze.

She did not expect Sui Lingfang to analyze it this way, and even less did she expect that while expressing her own ideas, she could have walked down another path.

According to Sui Lingfang's theory, the company definitely would not want to pay the sky-high breach-of-contract fees, so they would have had to swallow their pride and accept it.

They might even have put their heart and soul into being responsible for the follow-up PR after she published the book.

But now, she had walked down a path of being completely blocked by the company.

Jian Liting was suddenly filled with immense regret and wanted to reach out and hit her own head hard!

Sui Lingfang noticed her complexion was not right, hurriedly stopped her, held her in her arms, and gently patted her shoulder.

"I spoke too harshly; don't be too sad. The method I mentioned is just one of the best paths, but it is not easy to achieve; it was just a hypothesis.

Your manager seems to know your whereabouts like the back of her hand; perhaps in the initial stage of publishing the book, she would have known as soon as you contacted the publisher.

Once she knew, she definitely would have tried every means to cut off your announcements and suppress all negative influence to the minimum, so don't be too remorseful."

After comforting Jian Liting, Sui Lingfang said calmly and sharply: "And speaking of you now, it's not like you have no cards to play at all."

Jian Liting looked at her blankly and sobbed in a low voice: "I have already been reduced to nothing by them; there is less than three million left in my bank card. What else can I do? I can't do anything with this little money!"

Sui Lingfang's voice came from her ear: "Since you are already filming in Director Zheng's crew, why not borrow Director Zheng's influence, call the company directly to negotiate, and use Director Zheng to threaten them!

Borrowing the fox's power to intimidate the tiger—this is a common occurrence in the circle; there is nothing to be embarrassed about. I believe Director Zheng is also happy to let you borrow his influence.

Look, you have been hanging on the hot search for so long, and your company hasn't splashed dirty water on you on a large scale; they are also wary of Director Zheng.

After all, he is a big director in the film circle; if they offend him, then the artists in your company won't even think about getting a piece of the pie in the film industry in the future."

Jian Liting looked at her with teary eyes: "But I am only playing a female number 4 in the crew (she didn't know the role had been changed); if Director Zheng hadn't stepped in, I might not even be able to stay in the crew.

How should I say it so they will believe that Director Zheng will protect me to the end?"

Sui Lingfang glanced at her, focusing on her beautiful features.

The entertainment industry never lacks beauties; countless beauties have different styles and all kinds of charm.

Jian Liting was able to fight her way to being a first-tier artist based on her own strength, and her own beauty is also something she can show off.

After all, with the scale of her company, it is quite difficult to throw money around to build connections.

Jian Liting's features belong to the heavy-makeup style, a bit like a beauty with a Hong Kong-style temperament, carrying the imprint of the old era.

When she stands there, you will feel that she has a story.

If she were allowed to film some retro nostalgic films, just based on this face, she could probably kill it.

Sui Lingfang said thoughtfully: "There is an excuse—no, a reason—that I think your company will accept."

Jian Liting asked blankly: "What?"

Sui Lingfang: "You tell your company that you are in a relationship with Director Zheng, that you are his girlfriend, which is why he decided to let you join the *Desperate Counterattack* crew to play the female number 4.

Letting one's own girlfriend appear in one's own movie—what's wrong with that? Isn't it a matter of course?

You can act a bit arrogant and fearless; only then will you not arouse their suspicion. After all, they don't know if Director Zheng releasing so many leaks and building so much momentum for you is because he really values your acting skills or if he is interested in you.

After hitting them with a stick, you give them a sweet date.

Tell them that Director Zheng knows your contract hasn't expired yet and will only be terminated next year, so he is only letting you film this one movie and will wait until you terminate your contract to promote you."

Jian Liting frowned, her face full of disapproval: "No, I don't want to do that; it will affect his reputation. Director Zheng is very good to me; I cannot return kindness with ingratitude."

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "I am just speaking bluntly to you, but you don't have to be so blunt when you express it to them.

Don't say you are Director Zheng's girlfriend; just tell them you have a very good relationship with Director Zheng, that you are a female friend who gets along well with him, and keep the tone ambiguous.

You have acted in so many plays; you must have performed some ambiguous segments with other male actors, so just say it according to that feeling of ambiguity."

Seeing that Jian Liting was very hesitant and could not make up her mind, Sui Lingfang's tone became slightly heavier.

"Liting, there are so many true and false scandals in the entertainment industry; what does it matter if you borrow Director Zheng's influence?

You haven't personally admitted your relationship with him, and as for whether your company believes it, that is another matter.

After your contract expires next year, you can release some vague news to let them know you have broken up with Director Zheng, can't you?"

Sui Lingfang had originally just proposed an idea, but the more she spoke, the more she felt this idea was feasible.

Not only could it quickly solve the current problem, but it could also prevent Jian Liting from being strongly suppressed by the company in the future.

Perhaps when the contract is terminated, it could even be done smoothly and without any waves.

"Besides, if you feel sorry for Director Zheng, once you become popular, you can take the initiative to lower your salary, or just perform in the movies he films for free like you are doing now; he would be too happy to complain.

As for the scandal? Please, which director doesn't have scandals with actresses when filming? Not to mention someone like you who came to save the day at the last minute.

In the eyes of those in the know, you are here to save the day. But in the eyes of outsiders, you are clearly a resource-backed artist who squeezed out the original actor and parachuted into the crew.

Everyone will definitely suspect that you have a relationship with the director or with some investor who invested in this play.

If you are still worried, you can also let entertainment reporters simultaneously release news that you have been spotted by a certain investor, releasing multiple smoke bombs.

This way, out of speculation, your company will have to believe that you have someone behind you, that you are being protected, and they won't suppress you too much."

Jian Liting was silent for a while: "You make it sound easy, but it is very difficult to actually do. It is even harder to make them believe I have someone behind me."

A flash of determination crossed her eyes: "Sister Fang, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I also know your proposal can solve my current predicament, but I don't want to keep deceiving people.

I want to use your method, but I want to communicate with Director Zheng in advance; as I said before, I cannot return kindness with ingratitude.

Only if Director Zheng agrees will I do this; if he doesn't agree, I will think of other ways to solve it."

Sui Lingfang looked at her deeply, gaining a preliminary understanding of Jian Liting's character.

"Do you know how high the probability is that Director Zheng will agree after knowing about this matter? It's very difficult, extremely difficult.

Liting, being too straightforward and not slick enough in the entertainment industry makes it very easy to suffer losses and endure hardships."

Jian Liting twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly in self-mockery: "I know, and I have always been suffering because of my personality, but I don't want to cause any harm to those who have helped me."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while and said: "Fine, if you want to tell Director Zheng about this matter, that's fine too."

Jian Liting's eyes lit up: "I thought you would completely reject me!"

Sui Lingfang smiled: "It seems you can have an impression of Chenxi Entertainment's style this time; compared to the plans made by managers, we at Chenxi Entertainment pay more attention to the artists' ideas and achieve win-win cooperation with artists, rather than turning artists into puppets.

Only in this way, whether the artist swallows the bitter fruit they caused themselves or eventually reaps success, will they not have the slightest complaint."

When Sui Lingfang said these words, her heart was very calm.

In fact, she was not surprised by Jian Liting's choice.

If Jian Liting's personality were slick enough, she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation today.

If it were an artist who was slick in dealing with people, there would be many ways to make the company unable to give up on her while she could still vent her personality to a certain extent.

As a first-tier artist, to be played by the company to this extent...

From this, it can be seen that she is not a scheming person.

Just as the outside world evaluates her: she is an honest, dutiful, and diligent actor.

Sui Lingfang changed the subject: "But I have one condition: I will tell Director Zheng; you don't bring it up."

Jian Liting was a bit hesitant.

Sui Lingfang smiled indifferently: "I won't let you go talk to Director Zheng because you really aren't very good at speaking; what if you talk and talk, and Director Zheng really thinks you are interested in him, and he rejects you, what then?"

"Don't worry, since I have chosen to talk to Director Zheng, I will discuss all the pros and cons clearly; he will understand us."

Jian Liting finally nodded.

That night after filming the night scenes, Sui Lingfang found Zheng Chengxin and got straight to the point:

"I have a once-and-for-all method that can both solve Jian Liting's company problem and allow her company not to pursue any responsibility from your crew.

At the same time, if your movie is to be released next year and Jian Liting is still within the contract period of her current company, she can also appear on the scene to help you run promotions."

Director Zheng asked with interest: "Tell me about it."

Sui Lingfang explained the method of "pretending to be in a relationship to create a smoke bomb and cause misunderstanding."

Zheng Chengxin pondered for a while and said: "Your plan is interesting, but there is one difficulty.

With my influence in the circle, I might not be able to make her company wary to such an extent.

I am just a film director; the Chinese film circle is not my one-man show. Even if I can block that company's artists, other directors of the same status as me can also use them.

And not to mention that what I say might not necessarily work on other directors."

Sui Lingfang smiled mysteriously: "That is indeed the case, but what if we add Jin Li? You also know that once Jin Li speaks, investors all submit!

If Jin Li does not favor the film or television drama that the company's artist is filming and it spreads through interested parties, guess what will happen to her company?"

Zheng Chengxin looked at Sui Lingfang deeply and exclaimed: "Brilliant!"

"Your methods are too brilliant!"

The end of the universe is metaphysics; use metaphysics to defeat psychology.

—Fatal blow!
