Chapter 441: Even if I, Nie Jingjing, starve to death

Because he suddenly discovered that even a queen like Tang Bingyan, when shy, is no different from a little girl.

Regardless, today's misunderstanding was finally resolved, and Tang Bingyan wouldn't really be angry with him.

However, if there is a chance, he still needs to knock those few bounty hunters again. Now that they are working under him, they can't do whatever they want like before.

……

The next day.

Xu Tian arrived at the shooting scene of Apple Audio-Visual.

Staff members were busy in twos and threes, but they had no spirit, and the entire shooting department looked listless.

"Sigh, no matter how hard we try, the number of reservations for the short drama can't catch up with Lemon's side. I heard that Lemon's unit short drama only released a ten-second trailer, and the number of reservations reached 50 million."

"This is too high, right? Although our Huaxia has a large population, those who chase stars are only those few. Look at those stars with tens of millions of fans; in fact, having hundreds of thousands of active fans is already top-tier. Just in the preheating stage, there are 50 million reservations. This result is quite good."

"Who let the netizens nowadays like to watch female stars pull hair, and Nie Jingjing has always had a bloody and stormy constitution, plus Zhou Shishi, whom Qingguo Music is grooming, it's normal to be concerned."

"Zhou Shishi has been hyping hard recently; it is estimated that the popularity of these two won't go down for a while."

"Sigh... this plan to invite stars to star in unit short dramas was clearly thought of by us first. Not only was it copied by Lemon Short Video, but now it has also created such high popularity."

"Look at our side again. The originally scheduled male and female leads collectively stood us up. With shooting about to start, I don't know if the actors found to save the scene are reliable..."

"Do you know who the actor Manager Song found to save the scene is?"

One of the staff members replied: "The news I heard is that he invited Nie Jingjing."

"Are you kidding? How could it be Nie Jingjing?"

Everyone was very surprised.

"Is this completely going to fight against Lemon Short Video?"

"If we choose the same actors as that side, and the popularity is not as high as that side, then we will lose face to the Pacific Ocean!"

"It would be better to find an actor with no fame; then we can push it off as the actor not having many fans and not enough popularity."

"I also think Manager Song's idea is somewhat outrageous. I guess he thinks Nie Jingjing has high traffic." Someone analyzed.

"But how can the popularity of one Nie Jingjing compare to the popularity of Nie Jingjing and Zhou Shishi pulling hair? By the time the short video comes out, the fans of Nie Jingjing and Zhou Shishi arguing can push their entries to the top of the hot search list."

Just when several staff members were discussing, the director of the short drama, Tian Jing, walked over.

"Everyone in position, prepare to shoot! The actors will arrive soon, and we can shoot after discussing the script with the screenwriter."

Shooting this kind of unit short drama, one episode is only five or six minutes, and a series has seven or eight episodes. It doesn't need to be familiar with the script for months in advance like movies and TV dramas.

Therefore, this is also the reason why they dare to find popular idol female singers to cross over.

"Sister Jing, is the actor Manager Song found really..."

The staff member just opened his mouth to ask, when he saw Xu Tian had already brought Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue in, and Yan Qingxue also came with them.

"It really is Nie Jingjing! Her face is truly 360° without dead angles; it must look particularly good on camera. Someone said before that she had plastic surgery; I think it's just jealousy. Such a perfect face can't be made by surgery at all."

Nie Jingjing is a popular traffic star after all; no matter where she goes, she doesn't worry about discussion.

And her face is indeed beautiful, wanton, and impeccable, so much so that many staff members are her fans.

"Eh? Murong Xue is also here!" Someone had sharp eyes and immediately saw Murong Xue walking behind Nie Jingjing.

"Are we also planning a double female lead?"

"Don't say, Murong Xue and Nie Jingjing are also queen and little white rabbit settings, and Murong Xue is much better looking than Zhou Shishi; she is simply a high-profile version of the little white rabbit."

"I heard it is a double female lead, but if this kind of hair-pulling drama is the same on both sides, we will definitely be labeled as plagiarism. What about our reputation?"

"Who knows what Manager Song is thinking? It is said that the screenwriter was still revising the script this morning and stayed up all night. I really want to see what kind of plot is being shot."

"I am also curious. Anyway, even if the effect is not good, it is Manager Song's responsibility. We just need to do our own job."

These staff members only take dead wages and bonuses. If the popularity of the short drama is particularly high, they won't get many bonuses. If the data is not good, it has nothing to do with them, so naturally, they don't worry.

"Then who is the person beside them? Is it the male lead of the short drama?" Someone also became curious about Xu Tian's identity: "Haven't seen this person before. He wouldn't be a 180th-line transparent actor, would he?"

"If this kind is 180th-line, then it's too wasteful. His face is born to be a traffic male lead."

"It's over, it's over. It must be the cliché plot of two women fighting for one man. Lemon's internet trolls will definitely say we plagiarized the idea by then."

……

"Stop chatting and get to work!" Manager Song, who followed, was originally irritable, and became even more angry when he heard the discussions of those employees: "Don't want your bonuses anymore?"

Under his scolding, the few gossiping staff members scattered one after another and started preparing for shooting.

At the same time, director Tian Jing also finished communicating with the screenwriter and returned to the shooting area.

"Is the script revised without problems?" Manager Song asked with a bad expression.

"Hmm, it's just..." Tian Jing hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Agent Xu submitted revision inspiration to the screenwriter yesterday. As a result, the revised plot..."

"What's wrong with the plot?" Manager Song's brows furrowed even tighter.

"The plot is a bit unusual..." Tian Jing bit the bullet and said: "Isn't the routine of double female leads either good sisters turning against each other for the male lead, or the second female lead willingly exiting to fulfill the male and female leads? This time, there is no male lead, and there is no dog-blood emotional drama. Is it a bit..."

"Oh? No male lead?" Manager Song was very surprised, because Xu Tian didn't mention the male lead yesterday, and he even specially found an actor.

"Yes, simply put, it's a story about an undercover agent and a police officer."

"Is the undercover agent Nie Jingjing?" Manager Song touched his chin: "Seems not bad..."

"No." Tian Jing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "The undercover agent is Murong Xue."

……

The entire shooting lasted for three days.

Manager Song strictly required the specific behind-the-scenes details to be kept secret, waiting for the public relations department to operate, and also warned the staff participating in the shooting not to disclose any content.

Because Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue were particularly low-key in this shooting, the outside world didn't get any news and thought that Apple Audio-Visual's series of short dramas had been left blank due to actor problems.

And while shooting, Yan Qingxue also found an office location for the company, handled various procedures, and started posting recruitment notices on the website.

Just when Xu Tian was preparing for the new company, Qingguo Music was not peaceful either. Guo Zhihao seemed to want to use Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue to the greatest extent as stepping stones for Zhou Shishi, issuing various press releases to step on two and support one, and also intercepted many resources that originally belonged to them, and warned other companies in the entertainment industry in the name of Tian Feng Entertainment, prohibiting any dealings with them.

Tian Feng Entertainment was one of the two giants in the entertainment industry after all. Except for Giant Star Media, other small companies had to maintain good relations with them to some extent. Therefore, Xu Tian hadn't negotiated a single new business during this period, and the bookings that were originally sure things were also temporarily suspended.

Except for some three-no micro-businesses coming to them for cooperation, regular brands didn't consider them at all.

Nie Jingjing looked at the products sent by the brand owners on the desk in disbelief and picked up a facial mask with disgust.

"Even if I, Nie Jingjing, starve to death, it's impossible for me to take on this kind of micro-business product!"

"If I have to stick this kind of thing on my face, it would be better to kill me directly!" ===== CHAPTER 442 =====
