Views:

When Li Linlin got home, Chen Xi and Wu Huizheng were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. Seeing her come in with a bunch of stuffed dolls, the two of them excitedly gathered around: "Linlin, why did you buy so many dolls?"

Holding the doll, Li Linlin said as she walked to her room, "I didn't buy it, but my brother Yiran helped me find it."

"Ah?" Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, "You went out with brother Yiran again today? Why didn't he call me?"

Is she still his favorite sister

Li Linlin said, "No, we met by chance."

She went back to the room and first placed the doll on the plush rug by the bed. Chen Xi and Wu Hui walked in with her, and each took a doll and said, "Everyone who sees it has a share. There are so many of you, so we will be divided into one."

"No, no, no." Li Linlin snatched the doll from them again, "It was given to me by brother Yiran, I want to keep it myself!"

"..." Chen Xi picked up another silently, and Li Linlin grabbed it back again.

"Heh!" Chen Xi pulled Wu Hui to stand up and walked outside, "Wu Hui, let's go, let's clip the doll by ourselves! And don't give it to Linlin!"

Seeing them go out, Li Linlin ran forward and closed and locked her own door. Back at the bedside, Li Linlin hummed happily and put the dolls on the cabinet one by one. Marshmallow was placed beside her pillow and slept with her.

After all the dolls were arranged, Li Linlin took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After blowing her hair, she hung up the hairdryer and walked back to the room in her pajamas. After admiring her doll array for a while, she picked up her mobile phone, took a photo of the plush dolls, added a few filters carefully, and sent it to Chen Yiran.

The phone beside Chen Yiran's pillow vibrated gently, Chen Yiran glanced down, put down the photo in his hand, and picked up the phone.

Linlin: Brother Yiran, watch me start the doll formation! biubiu~!

Chen Yiran laughed and sent her a reply: "Why is the cotton candy gone?"

Li Linlin sent him another photo: "The cotton candy is here, it's in charge of sleeping!"

"..." The corner of Chen Yiran's mouth moved, and finally she replied, "Rest early, don't think wildly."

Linlin: Good! Yiran brother, you also go to bed early, good night!

Chen Yiran's gloomy mood just now changed a lot inadvertently. He curled his lips slightly and replied "good night" to Li Linlin. After putting down the phone, he looked down at the group photo in his hand and put it back in place.

The next day, Li Linlin found that Chen Xi and Wu Huizhen came back with a bunch of dolls. She walked up curiously and looked around: "Xixi, is it your family's ancestral stunt to catch dolls?"

"Heh." Chen Xi put his hands on his hips and held his head proudly, "It's just a doll, who can't?"

"No, Xixi, why is there a price tag on your doll?" Li Linlin picked up a small turtle and asked slowly.

"..." Chen Xi grabbed the doll from her hand and stuffed it into her bag, "You forgot to cut it when you put it in the doll machine. I tell you Li Linlin, these dolls today are all mine without your share. With Wu Hui!"

"Oh... I don't really want it either. I think the one my brother caught for me is much cuter, a little bit!"

"..." Chen Xi grabbed a pillow on the sofa and smashed it at Li Linlin who was running away, "If you have the ability to mock, don't run away if you have the ability!"

"..." Wu Hui scratched her ears silently, walked to the sofa and sat down. "Fatal Heartbeat" will be broadcast in half a month, and the latest two episodes will be broadcast tonight. She turned on the TV on time.

Since the launch of "Fatal Heartbeat", the ratings have been rising all the way, especially after Ogashi's blackening has become a big one, the topic and the number of broadcasts have been on the top of the recent film and television dramas, and there is basically no one that can compete with it. But after the two episodes aired tonight, the audience's evaluation was obviously lower than before. Many people responded that the quality of these two episodes had declined, and many plots were inexplicable.

Every time "Fatal Heartbeat" is broadcast, there will be several hot searches related to the plot on Weibo, and this week is the same, but this week is basically negative. Many netizens questioned the screenwriter Wang Xin on Weibo, suspecting that the last few episodes were ghostwriting, and asked her to come out and explain.

Netizens were very vocal, but Wang Xin's Weibo remained silent, and the rest of the crew also came out to speak. Li Linlin's Weibo also received private messages from fans asking if she had been deleted. Her role in these two episodes was obvious. less.

Seeing the situation on the Internet, Wu Hui couldn't help but worry: "It's over, it's over, it's not going to be too late, right?"

Chen Xi was sitting next to him, surrounded by a circle of dolls she brought back today: "Didn't you say that everyone brought the screenwriter with them when filming the back? Then the quality is easy to understand, and it's good if there are no inconsistencies. already."

"I'm afraid now that the drama's reputation will collapse, and it will affect Linlin." Wu Hui, the agent, is really heartbroken. "Now is Linlin's rising period, and I can't stand the wind and rain!"

Li Linlin herself was very open to it: "Wu Hui'er, don't worry about it, I'm acting according to the script anyway, so you can't blame me, right?"

Eujaxe was beyond her expectations, and now Lin Zhen has pulled the script back to the right path by himself, isn't it just right! Although the process is different from what she expected, as long as the result is the same!

Yiran's brother's confession is just around the corner!

"..." Wu Hui, who was watching her next to her, couldn't help but put the back of her hand on her forehead, "Are you all right? Word of mouth has suffered from Waterloo, why are you happy instead?"

"I don't have it." Li Linlin opened her eyes and said nonsense, "You can see that my acting is fine, and I can't be blamed."

"That's what I said, but after all, you are also the second female lead, the reputation of the show has collapsed, and it will affect you more or less.

"Sorry, don't worry about the world." Li Linlin yawned and went back to her room to sleep, "I'm going to bed first, you guys also go to bed earlier."

Wu Hui: "…"

Now the whole crew can still sleep, I'm afraid it's only Li Linlin, right?

As Wu Hui expected, after a night of online public opinion continued to ferment, "Fatal Heartbeat" not only has a drop in ratings, but also has a low rating on the platform. Many netizens are beginning to worry about whether the remaining two episodes are of the same quality. If it is really unfinished, not only will Wang Xin's reputation be affected, but the weekly broadcast theaters of Huanyu and ABA will not be able to escape.

Wu Hui really didn't want Li Linlin's first drama to end up with the evaluation of "high opening and low walking, water injection and unfinished end", and she was worried all day long, while Li Linlin, the party involved, was heartless and happy.

Sometimes she really envied Li Linlin's mentality. :)

After Li Linlin finished filming the commercial, she was out of work for several days. Wu Hui still had a few books handed over by the crew, saying that she wanted to invite Li Linlin to play the heroine. She screened it and sorted it out for Li Linlin, but Li Linlin kept He didn't even look, he just looked like he was slack at work.

Wu Hui felt like she was going to be mad at her 10,000 times every day.

"Since you don't want to work for the time being, let's take advantage of this time to expand the manpower in the studio." Wu Hui "swiped" and gave Li Linlin a copy of the information, "This is what we need urgently in our studio. The recruited position has a positive tentative salary, you can take a look."

Li Linlin glanced at the printed document in her hand, and said to Wu Hui hesitantly, "I think since I don't have a job, I won't be hiring for the time being."

Wu Huidao: "It's not like you'll never work again, sooner or later you'll have to recruit, so hurry up and get it done while you're free now."

"Well..." Li Linlin glanced at her, and the pen crossed out some positions, "Then let's recruit half of them first, and then we'll recruit the rest later."

Wu Hui squinted at him and her: "Why?"

Li Linlin said, "Because I haven't worked all the time, I only have expenses and no income. We need to consider the balance of payments."

"You paid for the advertisement before? Are you afraid that you can't pay your salary?"

"Well..." Li Linlin smiled at her, "To be honest, I invested the money."

"..." Wu Huiru was struck by lightning, her hair almost stood up, "What did you invest in?!"

"A web drama." Li Linlin said, "It will definitely be popular."

While speaking, she also gave Wu Hui a thumbs up.

Wu Hui: "…"

Why doesn't she know anything about such an important thing!

"What web drama did you invest in? Who is the director? Who is the screenwriter? Who is the starring role?" Wu Hui felt that one day she would be driven crazy by Li Linlin, "Show me your investment contract."

"I think it's better if you don't look at it." After all, Wu Hui's ability to bear doesn't look very good, "don't worry, my vision is not wrong!"

Wu Hui: "…"

Who can worry about this!

She was about to rush over to force Li Linlin to call out the contract, but Li Linlin used the phone to walk out. The caller was the young lady who was in charge of the amusement park project. Li Linlin picked up the phone while leaning against the door: "Hello."

"Hello, Sister Linlin, I'm Xiao Pan, you should still remember me."

"Remember, what's the matter with little sister Pan?"

"That's it, ABA is preparing a variety show called "Dinning in the Woods", which is a variety show that invites celebrities to open restaurants on the mountain. Our company cooperated with the program team and chose the address in Youxianshan. Youxianshan is our and Yu Xianshan's variety show. The project jointly developed by our family includes accommodation, catering and tourism in a nutshell. This sponsorship program is also part of the promotion. The program is currently selecting guests, and we would like to invite you to participate. I wonder if your time is not convenient?"

"Ah, are you participating in a variety show?" Li Linlin was stunned for a moment. Sister Xiao Pan's company is Huachuang Group. This is also a project developed by brother Yiran.

How many projects has he developed? No wonder you can buy a home everywhere!

"Yes, many artists have received news and want to participate. ABA has also given us permission to invite guests, and I want to recommend you to go." Xiao Pan said on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, participate in variety shows. Your pay must be higher than the last time you made a promotional video for our amusement park."

Li Linlin: "..."

Now that you say that, you don't want to participate anymore.

"Can I think about it?"

"Of course." Xiao Pan said, "I'm in charge of this project now, you can contact me directly when you decide."

"Okay, please trouble little sister Pan."

"You're welcome, it's us who troubled you. Let's do this first, I have to go to the meeting."

"Okay, okay." Li Linlin put the phone down when she heard the call hang up. Wu Hui, who was outside the door, took the opportunity to push the door open and squeezed in, looking at her with glowing eyes: "I just heard you say you want to participate in a variety show? Did a variety show invite you?"

"…I haven't decided to participate."

"Why?" Wu Hui said, "I heard you call Xiao Pan just now. Xiao Pan is the little sister of the last amusement park project, right? That's someone from your brother's company. This is also a project of Huachuang?"

"right."

"Then what else are you thinking about?" This doesn't suit your love-minded personality. "It's good to participate in this variety show. After the show is over, you will have another variety show, so you can continue the popularity!"

Li Linlin: "..."

If you analyze it like this, you will not be able to participate!

If it was an invitation from another program group, Li Linlin would definitely want to refuse, but this time this project is a project of Huachuang. If she refuses, will her brother know about it? Then, will my brother think that she has any opinion on their company

Because of worrying about this issue, Li Linlin struggled all day. Before going to bed at night, she held the marshmallow and looked at it, still asking if she wanted to go, when Chen Yiran called.

When Li Linlin saw that it was his call, she quickly picked it up: "Brother Yiran!"

"Well." Chen Yiran smiled inaudibly, "Have you not slept yet?"

"No, talking about life with Marshmallow."

This time, Chen Yiran's laughter clearly entered Li Linlin's ears through the receiver: "Oh, what did you discuss?"

"It's nothing... Brother Yiran, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chen Yiran said, "I heard that Manager Pan invited you to the show?"

"That's right." Li Linlin's heart tightened, and then her brother really received the news! "Is it a project jointly developed by you and the Yu family?"

"Yes, Youxian Mountain and the amusement park are in the same area, and they are all part of our creation of this area."

"Oh, that's it. I checked Youxian Mountain today. Although there are only promotional pictures, it looks very good. The scenery there is so beautiful."

"Well, the scenery on the mountain is very good. This time, we mainly focus on accommodation and catering, so we cooperated with the Yu family to develop together." Chen Yiran briefly summed up a few words, "Manager Pan invited you to a variety show. I know. You don't have to be embarrassed, if you don't want to go to a variety show, just reject her directly, she will arrange for other artists to go."

"No! I really want to go!"
