Chapter 77: [Half the Effort, Twice the Result] ability upgrade

~22 min read 4,334 words

In order to create momentum for Xi Sister Meng Ze, Dawn Entertainment really spent a lot of money this time.

Not only did they buy the first trending search for the official announcement, but they also pulled out the company's popularity face—Jin Li, to send blessings to Xi Sister Meng Ze.

What is this called?

What fans want to see, all arranged!

In the VCR.

Jin Li is in a large area of flowers, as if in a botanical garden, the background layout is very beautiful.

The clothes she is wearing are also very beautiful, a pink princess dress,

【Ahhh, the youth is back!】

【The unique group uniform of Pink Girls is back!】

【Li Bao is so beautiful, the sweetest in the universe!】

Jin Li looked at the camera, holding a bunch of white lily of the valley in her hand, waved the bouquet to everyone, and smiled:

"Sister Meng Meng, I just heard you are coming over, congratulations!"

She paused, and said with some nostalgia: "We can eat together again in the future."

The welcome video was very short, only ten seconds, and Jin Li didn't say any gorgeous vocabulary, just ordinary, plain greetings.

But just such plain vocabulary set off a wave of memories among group fans.

【Woooo, finally someone can accompany me to eat together in the future!】

【Li Bao is not lonely anymore, Sister Meng Meng is not lonely anymore!】

【Sister Meng Meng has already come, will others be far away?】

【Dawn Entertainment, you finally did a human thing!】

【You, immediately sign the other four group members, the traffic password has been given, hurry up and grasp it!】

The heat of Dawn Entertainment on the blog gradually climbed.

Influenced by these two trending searches of Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze, netizens searched for the company very frequently, and the four characters #DawnEntertainment# also hit the trending search.

The same company, two artists under the company, three trending searches in the same door!

Netizens started to dig into this company, archeology, investigation.

This is not known until archeology, and scared until archeology.

Does an entertainment company have a conscience?

Any netizen, fan, melon-eating passerby who hears this sentence will subconsciously shake their head.

As long as it is a company, there will be no conscience.

Not to mention the entertainment circle where making money is so fierce?

But unexpectedly, Dawn Entertainment is an exception!

【Li Bao's body is not good, Dawn Entertainment gave her three years of rest!】

【The company is not short of money, it's just that the resources are particularly abusive, no connections, it seems that errands have to rely on Li Bao to pull.】

【Actually so conscientious? A pearl in the sea!】

【One thing to say, Dawn Entertainment, don't you consider letting Jin Li become a shareholder of the company?】

The internet is bustling, and in reality.

The God of Literature Temple where Jin Li is located also welcomed a friend she had seen not long ago.

"Jin Li!"

Xi Sister Meng Ze's crisp and bright voice came, with full vitality and energy.

Unlike Jin Li's sweet and soft appearance, Xi Sister Meng Ze's appearance is the type of energetic girl.

In today's words, it is particularly like the silly white sweet heroine in a youth idol drama, with a silly and stubborn temperament.

But Jin Li knows that Sister Meng Meng is not stupid.

Among several teammates, Sister Meng Meng's emotional and intellectual quotients are very high.

Jin Li flicked the fishing rod in her hand, pulled it up a bit, and held "Five-Three" in the other hand, asking curiously: "Why do you have time to come over?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze: "Dawn officially announced today, won't arrange errands for me immediately, anyway, nothing to do, so I came to find you to play."

She looked curiously at the fishing rod Jin Li placed in front of her, "Your fishing method is interesting, why didn't you put feed, and where is the fishhook? You just have a line, and the fish can't bite it!"

Jin Li smiled slightly, leisurely and carefree said: "I mainly rely on those who wish to be hooked. If the fish really wants to come up, it will jump into my bucket on its own."

Xi Sister Meng Ze heard it strangely.

She looked at the environment of God of Literature Temple, it was quite quiet, not a single tourist, and Jin Li was dressed very plainly, without makeup.

Don't mention it, just seeing it from afar, she always felt that the old youngest had a detached temperament smoked out by the sacred atmosphere in the Daoist temple.

Xi Sister Meng Ze thought of Fang Jie's explanation when coming here.

Originally, she didn't take it seriously, feeling how is it possible, but now looking at Jin Li like this, no wonder Fang Jie would be worried.

It seems that it is really a bit hanging!

Xi Sister Meng Ze asked in a low voice: "Old youngest, you won't really want to be a Daoist temple disciple, cultivating body and nature all day, and not running errands?"

Jin Li put down "Five-Three", supported her chin with that hand, and said sadly: "I want to, but I can't!"

What did she come to the human world for?

Tribulation!

If she came to the human world and still hid in the Daoist temple to be lazy, if the master knew, don't know how to punish her.

Just then, the phone Jin Li placed on the ground rang.

She looked at the caller ID and suddenly smiled: "Look, isn't this, the fish that wishes to be hooked is here!"

Qiu Qiwen has been very troubled recently.

Filming is too unsmooth!

After talking with Jin Li that day, the crew subsequently found a new actress who could barely be a princess.

This actress is a newcomer, her acting skills are not very good, but her appetite is very big.

For a while, she wants this, for a while, she wants that, she, the female lead, didn't have as many requirements as others.

This is fine, when the crew couldn't bear it, the newcomer said: "If you dismiss me for this reason, I will expose it, saying that your crew's finding actors is all unspoken rules!"

Wow, it's really outrageous!

Qiu Qiwen shook her head straight after hearing this: What kind of jinxes did the production crew find?

As for the crew.

The crew certainly can't bear it.

Your attitude is bad, acting skills are bad, but they can't tolerate being threatened.

Start with a picture, the content all depends on editing, right?

Just yesterday, the crew had already fired that newcomer actress and started repeating the painful cycle of the past—

Find! Actor!

The director learned a painful lesson this time, no longer randomly pulling a newcomer to fill the tank, but planned to find it well.

Just because of this jinx of a newcomer, all the content they had previously filmed had to be reshot. If it weren't for the fact that this production crew had investment from her own company, Qiu Qiwen would have lost her temper long ago.

Searched for a day, and didn't find a suitable person.

This is not, Qiu Qiwen thought of Jin Li again and dialed her number.

On the phone.

Jin Li listened to the whole process and was quite dumbfounded by the newcomer's approach, and couldn't help but ask: "What if this newcomer really exposes it?"

Qiu Qiwen smiled: "Jin Li, do you know, the crew has several cameras, basically all turned on, but the role is not to act, but to record the surroundings."

"That newcomer dares to threaten, the crew is not afraid, when the time comes, both sides throw out the recording, right and wrong can be seen at a glance."

"Besides, if she really dares to do this, she, a college student who graduated from the film academy, won't be able to do this line in the future, no crew will find this kind of actor."

Jin Li realized, no wonder the crew said fire and fire, completely not afraid.

It turns out everyone has confidence.

Jin Li thought for a while and said: "I have been recuperating my body these few days, my state is not bad, and there are no errands."

"If you want me to help film for three or four days, I can, but if I have to film for a week, I'm afraid my body can't take it."

She doesn't have to act.

And her body is not good, the industry knows.

Qiu Qiwen said: "You wait, I will discuss with the director, I will call you back in a while."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Li put the phone aside.

Xi Sister Meng Ze watched the whole process and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "High, really high! How did you know she was looking for you, wanting to ask you for help?"

Jin Li made a phone call, and didn't hide it from her, turned on the speaker.

She replied: "Qiu Qiwen is not the first time to find me, before I helped Qinglian bridge the second female lead of 'Great Prosperity Dynasty', she mentioned to me that there is a third female lead role in the crew she is in that is very suitable for me, asking if I have time to participate, but I was too busy then, so I declined."

"This time she came to find me again, I felt it should still be for this crew, didn't expect to guess it, it's also luck."

Xi Sister Meng Ze shook her head: "Not luck, it's strength. It seems that the role really fits you, making her so haunted by you."

An hour later.

Jin Li's phone rang again, she put down the "Five-Three" in her hand and answered.

Qiu Qiwen said: "I discussed with the director, willing to come and participate, the crew can delete and change some plots, let you finish filming quickly within four days, do you think it's okay?"

Jin Li thought for a while and said: "If it can be finished in 4 days, of course it's okay, but I have never had acting experience, are you sure I can do it?"

Qiu Qiwen: "To be honest, I'm not very clear either."

She changed the subject, powerfully said: "But I think you can!"

It's at this juncture, can't do it also has to do it, the crew filming really can't be dragged on anymore.

Jin Li asked for the address of the crew and indicated: "I will join the crew tomorrow."

After finishing the call with Qiu Qiwen, she called Sui Lingfang and said she was going to film.

Sui Lingfang seemed to let out a long breath on the other end of the phone, unloading a heavy burden.

"Acting is good, coming out to walk around is quite good, is it filming tomorrow? Fine, I'll let Xiao Chen pick you up, I'll pack another set of luggage for you, the password in the apartment hasn't changed, right?"

The communication with Fang Jie was very pleasant, finished in two or three sentences, Jin Li hung up the phone again.

Xi Sister Meng Ze couldn't get used to the house in God of Literature Temple, ran to the downtown area

Xi Sister Meng Ze was not used to living in the house at the God of Literature Temple, so she ran to the bustling area behind the temple to pick a hotel, leaving her alone at the God of Literature Temple once again.

Jin Li flicked her fishing rod and lowered her head to drill problems again.

This time, her biggest gain from worshipping the God of Literature was the upgrade of her 【half the effort, twice the result】 ability.

Actually, this ability had already shown signs of upgrading before; that is, when she studied in the Daoist temple, she only needed to do 1/3 of the work, but the harvest she received was 3 times as much!

It was just that it was previously limited to the special bonus of the Daoist temple, but after this trip to the God of Literature Temple, this ability changed so that it was not just in the Daoist temple, but even in other places as well.

This was also the reason why Jin Li dared to go film.

Her efficiency had improved again, and she should be able to manage to squeeze in some study time like squeezing toothpaste during the busy filming of the production crew.

However, an improvement in efficiency does not mean an improvement in wisdom.

Sorting out knowledge points and developing a set of one's own learning techniques both require a long process.

Jin Li was also grinding away at it, but she was more efficient than before; it looked like her study time had decreased, but the harvest she received was the same.

However, according to her "study-dog" nature, it was impossible for her study time to decrease. On the contrary, with such a powerful ability, she had to study even harder.

The next day, Jin Li left the God of Literature Temple.

She left together with Xi Sister Meng Ze; she was returning to the company for a handover, and Sister Meng Meng also had to go to the company for a meeting.

What they didn't know was that the scene of the two meeting at the Daoist temple and leaving together was captured by paparazzi.

Shortly after, Yixin Gossip broke the news of Jin Li's trip to the Daoist temple this time.

The last time they broke the news of Jin Li going to the Profound Heaven Temple, it was also this agency, and this time it was still them.

Yixin Gossip: 【Fishing when idle, cultivating sentiment while drilling problems; on Jin Li's daily cultivation routine in the Daoist temple. 8 photos. jpg, one video. mp4】

Once this scoop came out, it only hung shallowly at 50th place.

As time passed, it slowly climbed to 20th place, touching the tail of the front row.

However, this did not mean that this trending search wasn't powerful.

It was just that today was the weekend, and long-silent first-tier stars were all coming out to do business, one trending search for this one, another for that one.

Publicity companies stepped in to operate, with internet water armies and money both coming into play, maintaining the popularity of the stars in the front row.

As for the trending search about Jin Li, there was no popularity maintenance at all; it relied entirely on the spontaneous love and promotion of netizens.

【Still the same sentence: Who needs a cold Buddha-like figure? Give me a cold Daoist figure to charge!】

【I'm already tired of saying the word 'beautiful'...】

【Is Chenxi Entertainment really not considering letting Jin Li take on art-house films? Just looking at this unadorned beauty, it's really too impressive!】

【Jin Li is the only female star I think looks beautiful even wearing a sack; she can even hold up such a plain outfit!】

The popularity feedback on the internet was very good, and netizens didn't feel that Jin Li was putting on a show.

Who puts on a show by intentionally cutting off contact for several days and not appearing?

Many angles of Yixin Gossip were sneak shots, the image quality was incredibly blurry, and there weren't even a few high-definition photos.

Moreover, Chenxi Entertainment had never mentioned Jin Li going to the Daoist temple for self-cultivation.

Being exposed, one can only say the paparazzi were too strong.

Just after Jin Li left, Chenxi Entertainment received a pile of... art-house film scripts from directors.

Sui Lingfang felt a headache looking at those dozen emails marked "Art-house Film Script."

The headache wasn't about whether Jin Li should take the art-house films or not, but that there were too many scripts sent over, and she couldn't even finish looking at them.

Heaven have mercy, she was just an ordinary manager.

No one stipulated that a manager must also learn to read scripts, right?

On the day Jin Li joined the production crew, "PICK~ Next Station Diva" also began the recording of the sixth season.

Days passed one by one, and even if there was reluctance, this talent show program gradually came to an end.

The further it went, the more scripts that moved people to tears appeared, and even the Sanyuetian boy band shed some tears.

Just now, everyone listened to the contestants' stories and cried again.

Chen Lin cried until his eyes and nose were red; the other members were okay, their eyes slightly red, especially Gu Cheng, who was extremely calm, his expression as usual.

It wasn't that he wasn't moved.

But compared to his experiences before his debut, he felt that he had lived a more bitter life, and these things were nothing worth bringing up.

For a star to become famous and popular, selling the difficult years of the past is useful; only then will fans be moved, and only then will netizens see you.

Now the contestants are not popular, just small characters.

No matter how tear-jerking the past experiences are, not many people pay attention.

The group came to the canteen to eat.

As Chen Lin ate, he suddenly said: "It would be great if Sister Jin Li were here; she could still say some 'rainbow farts' (flattery) for the contestants to hear. I wanted to encourage them just now, but those words got stuck as soon as they reached my lips."

Ji Qinglian ate with them and said: "Jin Li doesn't really like participating in variety shows; she feels the traces of the script are too heavy, and she has to test her reactions on the spot, so the emotional consumption is a bit high. It's quite tiring for her to participate in variety shows."

Not knowing what she thought of, she asked: "Isn't your group variety show inviting her? How do you plan to produce it? Have you thought about it?"

Yan Xingdong replied: "Mainly experiencing life. Isn't 'poor travel' quite popular recently? We might put effort in that direction."

Gu Cheng suddenly asked: "Will Sister Li be unable to accept 'poor travel'?"

Ji Qinglian's eyes widened slightly, "You're talking about her?"

She shook her head, "No, to tell you the truth, Jin Li is the one who can endure hardship the most in our team."

Her words paused, and she said with absolute certainty: "If you want to talk about who isn't afraid of hardship, it must be Jin Li. Sister Li is just physically weak; she is very amazing."

After eating, there was an hour of lunch break.

Because the number of teams in the variety show decreased, not only the trainees but even the mentors' rest time increased.

Just as Ji Qinglian was about to go rest, Zhang Ziqiang's call came in.

Her brows were tightly knitted, and she hung up the call; she wouldn't answer!

Recently, she had a very tense relationship with her manager, and Zhang Ziqiang urged her to talk to Penguin every few days.

Did she not want to talk?

It's just that she couldn't find a good solution!

Disturbed by this call and in no mood, Ji Qinglian walked out of the lounge and came to the mentors' shared dressing room, preparing to touch up her makeup.

In the dressing room, Lian Baozhi was also there.

She kept looking down at her phone, her expression a bit serious.

Ji Qinglian's voice sounded: "Lian Baozhi, you are not very focused on recording the program today; you are always distracted looking at your phone. Don't waste such good announcement resources."

During today's recording, Lian Baozhi had many shots stolen by Qiu Qiwen.

If Qiu Qiwen had come prepared, that would be one thing, but the problem was that Lian Baozhi wouldn't respond, and only Qiu Qiwen was talking, so the shots definitely went to Qiu Qiwen.

Being from the same company, she and Lian Baozhi were competitors, but once outside, Ji Qinglian didn't want to see Lian Baozhi in a poor state later on, wasting the popularity that had been built up.

Otherwise, when the company asked about it later, it would be blamed on her again, blaming her for not reminding her.

Lian Baozhi put away her phone, her expression a bit foul, but unexpectedly she didn't use sarcasm, instead saying: "Got it, I will record properly in the afternoon."

Ji Qinglian was a bit surprised.

It was rare for her to have a time when she spoke properly.

"I feel your state recently is not right. Didn't you follow a good manager? I heard you also got a very good announcement.

You shouldn't be standing in front of me full of spring breeze and showing off to me at this time; why are you still looking so solemn? Did something happen?"

Who would have thought Lian Baozhi would be like a cat whose tail was stepped on, instantly exploding:

"What announcement I took has nothing to do with you. You'd better take care of yourself; I heard Zhang Ziqiang has been criticizing you for several days in public meetings!

Penguin doesn't know about your plan to breach the contract yet, right? You can't even take care of yourself, and you're still managing me!"

Ji Qinglian's face turned ugly, and she turned and left.

Her brain must have been kicked by a donkey just now to care about Lian Baozhi.

If such a person runs into trouble, it's all deserved!

At the same moment.

The "Wishful Husband" production crew where Jin Li was.

Today Qiu Qiwen had to record a variety show and couldn't come to pick up Jin Li, but she specifically instructed her assistant to go pick her up.

At the same time, she had already greeted the production crew from top to bottom in advance, letting everyone know that Jin Li's health wasn't very good, so don't bother her with some miscellaneous matters.

Qiu Qiwen understood in her heart that this situation was different from the last time.

Last time she helped her bridge "The Great Sheng Dynasty" and also found her to act, that was repaying Jin Li's previous favor.

This time, looking for Jin Li again meant she had a request.

Although filming wasn't bad for Jin Li, the original intention couldn't change; looking for Jin Li in the first place was to have the other party save the day.

So she owed Jin Li another favor.

If it weren't for the fact that "PICK~ Next Station Diva" couldn't miss the recording, Qiu Qiwen would have intended to pick her up personally.

"Jin Li, you're here!"

"Teacher Jin Li, hello, I am your fan!"

"Teacher Jin Li, your bare-faced state is really good, even prettier than when I wear makeup!"

Jin Li was taken to the production crew by Qiu Qiwen's assistant, Xiao Luo, and received a warm welcome from the crew, with everyone smiling at her.

She was a bit surprised and specifically asked Xiao Luo when no one was paying attention: "Is the production crew always in this atmosphere, so friendly?"

Xiao Luo looked left and right, and seeing no one noticed, said: "How could it be? This time the situation is special; everyone is waiting for you to save the day, and only the princess's scenes are left to be filmed.

Before Sister Qiu left, she specifically greeted everyone in the production crew not to be too serious, so as not to scare you.

By the way, Sister Jin Li, the screenwriter will look for you later to discuss some deleted and modified plots. After finishing the plot, you have to start filming.

You have to start filming on the first day of joining the crew; will you be unaccustomed to it? If you feel you can't, I'll go tell the director to film on the second day."

Jin Li shook her head and smiled: "No, no, no, don't, don't, don't. I'm here to film, not to be an emperor; I can film today."

Since it's saving the day, she won't put on airs; she'll finish filming quickly and be done with it.

The only thing she worried about was whether her acting skills would pass.

While Jin Li was getting her makeup and styling done and discussing the scenes with the screenwriter, the producer also came to the director.

The producer said worriedly: "Do you think Jin Li can do it?"

The director carefully wiped the lens with a fine cloth, "If she can't, she has to; she is the hope of the whole production crew now."

Producer Zhang: "Old Li, Jin Li has never had any experience in filming before, and it has to be shortened to four days to finish filming, I'm afraid..."

How could the director not worry about Jin Li's performance?

For an experienced hand, as long as they film more tightly and the whole crew makes concessions for this role, four days is definitely enough to finish filming.

But Jin Li is a newcomer, so this is a bit hanging.

Li Dao said: "Didn't Old He explain the script to her? Let's film a scene later to test her strength. If it really doesn't work, then change the script!"

Producer Zhang said with some heartache: "But for the role of the princess, once it's not changed well, the highlights of the later plot might not be supported."

Li Dao: "There's no other way. Jin Li is so popular now, bringing her own traffic and popularity. I was already surprised that Qiu Qiwen could pull her over.

I was even more surprised that Jin Li was willing to come and act.

If it were you, would you want the completeness of the plot or the publicity of the production crew?"

TV dramas with good plots will have a good reputation.

TV dramas with publicity will be seen by the public.

Both palms and backs of the hands are meat; it's hard to choose!
