In the lounge.

Ji Li scooped up the ice cream one by one, the redness in his eye sockets hadn't completely faded away, and occasionally he had to hiccup slightly.

However, the mood has calmed down a lot, at least not like the one just finished, and I can't recover for a long time.

Baozi looked at the ice cream in the front row of the table and muttered in his heart.

Yu Fuya came back from the outside, and she glanced at Ji Li who was fascinated by eating, "Where did you get the ice cream?"

Baozi explained instead, "Teacher Qin Li asked someone to bring it, and Brother Ji hasn't finished eating that one yet."

The ice cream in front of the table is arranged in a long queue, and there are all kinds of ice cream.

Yu Fuya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and joked, "Where did they get you so many ice creams on this big night? I said you, you were made uncomfortable by the characters in the play, and the real Qin Li came to compensate you, didn't you?"

Ji Li took a sip, and his voice became hoarse, "Brother Li knew that I was in a bad mood after the show, so he asked me to eat ice cream for the show."

"It's okay to eat ice cream, but don't eat too much at night, be careful that it hurts your stomach." Yu Fuya forced to put away the other ice cream on his table, and said to her mother's heart, "I'll put it in the refrigerator for you, next time Eat again."

Ji Li picked up another one first, "I'll just eat two."

Yu Fuya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's strange, how did Qin Li know that you like this?"

"I want to ask too! As Brother Ji's assistant, I didn't even know that he loved to eat ice cream when he was young, but Mr. Qin Li knew it very well, so he almost took over my work." Baozi said.

Yu Fuya patted Baozi's forehead amusedly, "What kind of vinegar are you eating?"

Ji Li told the two of them about the day the film was finished, "Baozi, next time I finish filming, you have to buy ice cream for me in advance."

"Okay! Brother Ji!" After accepting the task, Baozi immediately became energetic.

It took Ji Li ten minutes to scoop out the two ice cream cups, without wasting any sweetness.

He took a few deep breaths, and finally temporarily suppressed the shadow of the character in his heart, "Okay, let's take off the makeup."

When Baozi heard this, he immediately called the styling assistant of the crew.

After about half an hour of tossing around, the production staff knocked on the door, "Sister Yu, is Ji Li ready? Director Yao asked him to cut a final cake."

Ji Li just finished changing into his casual clothes, "Brother Li, have they finished filming?"

After his role was finished, there was another highlight of confrontation between Xie Chenyuan played by Qin Li and the queen mother played by Weng Meini.

"Well, the filming is over." The scene manager responded.

Tonight's filming went much smoother than expected. The scenes that were originally expected to last until two o'clock in the morning were all completed before eleven o'clock.

Ji Li and the others followed the field staff, and just entered the shooting area, he was startled by the sound of a few colorful firecrackers.

The staff gathered around and shouted cheerfully at Ji Li, "Ji Li is happy to finish!"

"Xiao Ji is happy to finish!"

"Teacher Ji Li has worked hard! Xie Yan has worked hard too!"

Ji Li stared at the large bouquet stuffed into his bosom, and was stunned for a second or two before showing a complete smile, "Thank you everyone, you have worked hard during this time."

In any case, this is his first wrapping ceremony after re-entering the entertainment industry.

He likes it and is very happy.

Fang Zhixing was holding a small cake with double Q-version images of Xie Yan and Ji Li on it, very delicate and cute, "Ji Li, happy ending, thank you for interpreting the perfect Xie Yan in my mind."

"Thank you, Teacher Fang."

Baozi had been squeezed to the outermost side by the crowd, jumping up and down and shouting, "Brother Ji! This cake was sent to the crew by your fans."

Hearing this, Ji Li stared at the cake with brighter eyes.

During this period of time, he was busy filming, so he really couldn't take care of his Weibo fans. He didn't expect them to send such a gift on the wrapping day.

"Come, come, the red envelope is ready." Yao Chuan took out a thick red envelope, put it in the young man's pocket, and patted it tenderly.

"My boy, I've worked hard during this time. Don't try to take any shortcuts, just persevere, and I'll find you to film again when I have a chance."

Ji Li nodded, very moved by the other party's elder-like wishes.

"Director, we've seen it. In a few days, the red envelope you gave us will be as thick as Ji Li's." Xu Miaomiao pulled the female supporting role You Shuang closer.

"Yes, Director Yao." Wen Yu also squeezed in with Zhou Qingming's shoulders.

The latter looked away from Shang Ji Li's eyes unnaturally.

Yao Chuan snorted and made a sloppy eye, and asked the crew photographers to hurry over to take pictures. A group of people excitedly dragged Ji Li to take dozens of photos before letting him go.

"and many more."

Before Ji Li could take a step, Zhou Qingming stopped him.

Ji Li looked sideways in some surprise, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qingming's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a trace of hesitation on his face, "I, I actually want to apologize to you."

He looked at the gradually dispersing staff around him, and finally made up his mind to approach, "Before, because of the popularity of the role, I got into a dead end. Maybe I vented my emotions that I shouldn't have on you when I was on the set. I'm sorry."

The more Zhou Qingming talked, the more embarrassed he felt.

Since his debut, he has not apologized to other actors so formally.

Last time in the lounge, Yu Fuya scolded him unceremoniously.

While Zhou Qingming felt ashamed, he was awakened by these words.

Over the past 20 days, Zhou Qingming has considered the role from beginning to end again. He has discussed with Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing more and more times, and he refuses to miss any small details.

After a lot of hard work, he can detect his progress in acting without other people pointing it out.

While Zhou Qingming felt happy and happy, he also felt ashamed and apprehensive—

In the past, he always felt that his fate was bad, so he never had a chance to succeed. Now he only realizes it later. It is the complacency and inertia accumulated deep in his heart that make him miss many opportunities to go further.

"Ji Li, you acted very well."

"It's an honor to be in the same group as an actor like you."

After Zhou Qingming finished speaking the truth, he felt his face burn.

During this period of time, he often observed Ji Li's acting skills on the spot to help him find out his shortcomings. The more normal he is, the more he can discover the shining points of young acting skills.

In fact, Zhou Qingming didn't ask Ji Li to express his forgiveness, but just wanted to apologize before the other party finished and left. At the same time, through this matter, give yourself a chance to let go of your irrational prejudices and start over.

After all, the entertainment industry is so big, I don't know if there will be a chance to act together again in the future.

Ji Li was a little surprised.

In fact, Yu Fuya told him that the opposing team wanted to throw dirty water behind their backs.

Ji Li was used to the tricks in the circle, and when he saw that the matter had been resolved, he didn't take it seriously. However, his attitude towards Zhou Qingming became colder and more distant.

At this moment, Ji Li's gaze towards Zhou Qingming easily sees through the apprehension hidden in him.

He was silent for two seconds, chuckled to dissolve everything in the past, "Thank you."

The other party did not cause any substantial harm to him. Since he wanted to apologize, he was happy to accept it.

In this showbiz, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies.

Zhou Qingming was stunned, his ears turned red, "...thanks, you just don't take those things to heart."

"Actually, what really belongs to you will not be snatched by others."

Ji Li recalled the description of Zhou Qingming's stardom in the original book, and curled his lips, "I have a hunch that you will become famous and win awards with this drama, and your resources will not be bad in the future, come on."

He has always believed that only by seeing his own actors clearly can he go further.

Zhou Qingming met his sincere eyes and finally showed a long-lost smile, "Thank you! Ji Li, it's a pleasure to meet you, see you later."

"Well, see you later."

As soon as Zhou Qingming left, Baozi rushed up, "Brother Ji! Did he come to provoke you? Have you been bullied?"

Ji Li stuffed the bouquet in his hand, and flicked his forehead again, "It's such a rich imagination, it's a pity that you don't want to be a screenwriter."

Baozi rubbed his forehead and laughed twice.

"Ji Li."

Another shout sounded, and Ji Li turned to face the person who came up, smiling generously, "Brother Li, are you done?"

Qin Li nodded, secretly looked at Ji Li's condition, and said after confirming that the other party was fine, "Ji Li, congratulations."

"Brother Li, I'm very happy to play with you again." Ji Li's eyes brightened.

Probably due to preconceived reasons, he felt that Qin Li was the best actor in his heart at present, not one of them.

Qin Li chuckled cheerfully, and suggested, "Shall we take a group photo?"

The photographer wandering by the side heard this and rushed up immediately, "Teacher Qin Li, I'll help you take pictures."

Photographer Xiao He is a fan of the original book. When the crew was preparing for the film, they asked someone to find a relationship to join the team, just to get the first-line information during filming.

Once there is any magical change, he will explode into the book fan group to resist, but he 'miscalculated', the adaptation of this play not only respects the original work, even the casting is a first-class match.

To be honest, what he is most satisfied with is the role of Qin Li and Ji Li.

While filming just now, he was switching angles to take stills. The photos of the two characters together are both beautiful and cruel.

Xiao He dares to guarantee that once the TV series starts to be promoted, before the feature film is broadcast, the still photos of the two will kill a lot of fans of the show and book fans.

Standing beside Qin Li, Ji Li asked Xiao He to take a group photo, and finally confessed, "Brother Xiao He, please send me a copy of all the group photos later, I want to post it on Weibo."

The filming is over, it's time for him to go online and interact with fans.

"Okay, I'll sort it out and send it to you."

"thanks."

Yu Fuya and Qi An came back together from a distance, and the latter shouted, "Qin Li, it's time to go back to Haishi, we have a plane tomorrow morning."

Qin Li nodded without any objection.

Hearing this, Ji Li took the initiative to say goodbye to Qin Li, "Brother Li, then I will go back to the hotel first, and we will see you again when we have a chance."

"Okay, see you next time."

in a minute.

It wasn't until the figure of the young man disappeared on the set that Qin Li slowly looked back, "Let's go, where is the RV parked?"

Qi An patted his friend's shoulder subtly with winks, "My kid is just getting started, so you have to put it away if you have thoughts, so don't delay him."

Qin Li glanced at him and left without saying a word.

Qi An hurriedly followed, and asked quietly without giving up.

"Tell me the truth, are you interested in Ji Li? Knowing that it will be uncomfortable for him to film the finale, you even bought ice cream in advance and put it in the RV refrigerator."

"In all the years I've worked with you, I've never seen you show so much interest in other actors."

"Hey, don't keep silent, Qin Li, wait for me."

When Ji Li returned to the hotel, it was already early morning after washing up.

He looked at the finale photos sent by the photographer and the still photos that the crew allowed to release, carefully selected 18 photos, and posted them on Weibo one at a time: Thank you to all the crew for their care and help, Xie Yan, the finale has been completed.

Ji Li originally thought that in the early morning of weekdays, everyone would fall asleep early.

Unexpectedly, the moment Weibo was posted, retweets, comments, and likes kept rising.

——Happy ending! It's been a hard two months! Looking forward to your Xie Yan.

—Ah, I saw the cake! Happy brother finishing! Is the Q version villain cute

—Li Zai, take a good rest, Mama loves you, and looks forward to your next play.

——Happy to Xie Yan, I look forward to seeing you soon.

—Brother, can you post more selfies when you are free? love you love you.

- I'm so excited! One-time eighteen fresh brother! @超影文化, @禹姐 is not a mother, I beg the company and agent, arrange some magazines for the handsome guy! A lot of material is good!

Ji Li didn't expect so many people to stay up all night waiting for his Weibo to finish, and he was touched but also apologetic.

Thinking of not having to get up early tomorrow, he simply replied to fans in the comment area.

"It's not hard, the cake is delicious and cute, thank you for looking forward to it, I'm not very good at taking selfies, I'll learn from it..."

Although the content of the reply is very simple, it still aroused great enthusiasm from the fans, and the number of comments can increase a lot every once in a while.

A Wechat bullet box jumped out of the screen, and it was from Yu Fuya.

— You don’t need to reply too many fans, just keep the content simple, and be careful that you will be labeled as “flattering fans” by sunspots.

Ji Li typed the answer.

Immediately afterwards, he searched the Weibo of the director and screenwriter, and clicked to follow.

Ji Li thought about it for a while, and then took the initiative to search and follow Qin Li's Weibo. Anyway, the two of them have collaborated in several scenes, so it shouldn't be a big problem if they are newcomers paying attention to the seniors in the circle, right

Xuebing jumped onto the bed with a meow, and rubbed her head against him vigorously.

Baozi had already taken him to the pet shop for a bath in the evening, and now his whole body smelled delicious.

Ji Li couldn't hold back his desire to 'play the cat', and immediately put away his phone and started teasing the snow cake.

One person and one cat quarreled for ten minutes before getting ready to sleep. Before going to bed, Ji Li couldn't help picking up his phone and swiping Weibo for a while.

When I saw this, I was stunned.

Qin Li not only blocked him, but also left a message in the comment section of his Weibo.

—Happy ending, Yan'er. [Good night]

Obviously with the nature of the role, but a little indescribably special.

This comment was posted five minutes ago, and now it has been topped by fans of both sides, and there are thousands of additional comments below.

Ji Li quickly opened it to have a look.

—Ah, I caught a oak brother! Brother, you post a Weibo yourself! Happy ending Ji Li!

—Thank you Mr. Qin Li for taking care of our Ji Li! Looking forward to your cooperation!

——Wuuuuu called Yan'er, they are Yan'er and Uncle Wang ahhhhhh thank you two teachers, they perfectly filled in the roles!

— I can do it again! Uncle and nephew CP is real~

— If I remember correctly, did Brother Li never celebrate the completion of other actors

—A certain oak fan upstairs, you got the answer right, but our family can’t eat real people~

Ji Li swiped for a long time and found that the two fans got along very happily without any extreme remarks.

At most, there are some CP fans of the original book haunting, happily calling the title of 'Yan'er'.

Ji Li thought for a while, and replied with a [good night] emoji.

An appropriate answer, without any elements of business flattery.

He closed Weibo, reopened the WeChat interface, and added slowly: Brother Li, good night.

The reply over there was very fast, as if they had been waiting for his chat message for a long time. But it's not a text message, but a short three-second voice.

Ji Li clicked on the car, and a deep "good night" hit the eardrums in the blurred background of the vehicle.

Those who didn't come, just condensed in their hearts.

Ji Li's eyes twitched, and he played it again in a strange way.

The man's voice was nice, as if it was mixed with a faint smile, which made people feel numb.

Ji Li hooked her lips involuntarily, and after recovering slowly, she threw away the phone as if it was burning her hand. He suddenly rolled up the quilt, and the movement was so loud that even the snow cakes almost fell off the bed.

Xuebing frantically grabbed the quilt, waited until her body stabilized, and then raised her doubting little head.

"Meow~???"

Ji Li didn't have time to pay attention to it, and touched his burning ear.

He buried his head with the pillow and murmured eloquently, "Hurry up, hurry up... You are Ji Li, not Xie Yan..."

After a while, he picked up the phone again and clicked on the three-second voice—

A simple good night, nothing special.

It's fine, it's normal.

Ji Li lay back on the bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep contentedly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ji Li followed Yu Fuya back to Haishi.

Because of the termination of the contract, the original dormitory of Dream Media is definitely not available, but the boss of Chaoying Company is quite kind. After hearing Yu Fuya explain Ji Li's situation, he immediately rented him an apartment with good confidentiality.

Although the house is not big, it is enough.

Ji Li looked around and asked casually, "Sister Yu, how much is the annual rent for this house? Did you pay me in advance, or did the company give it?"

"The company has approved the rent, so you can live in peace of mind, and you don't have to pay it back." Yu Fuya also came to this place for the first time, and she muttered with satisfaction, "Old Tao is much more reliable in his work than when he was young. gone."

"Old Tao?"

"Executive director of Chaoying Culture, your boss Tao Mingyang."

Yu Fuya glanced at the time on her watch, "By the way, it's still early. If you're not tired, report to the company with me? By the way, meet the important ministers of the company."

Ji Li should have reported to the company long ago.

However, the post-production time is tight, and Yao Chuan is a strict director who does not easily criticize fakes, so until now, Ji Li has not officially visited the company headquarters of Chaoying Culture.

Ji Li should be quick, "Not tired, let's go now."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the company.

Yu Fuya temporarily settled Ji Li and Baozi in the reception room on the first floor, "Sit down for a while, I can't get through my old phone, I'll go upstairs to see the situation first."

"Okay, Miss Yu."

The two obediently sat in the reception room and waited.

A front desk brought him coffee, and before leaving, he took out his phone and secretly took a photo of him.

Ji Li pretended not to notice, and didn't ask Baozi until after the other party left, "While Sister Yu is not here, hurry up and tell me about the history of Chaoying Culture, the company, the more detailed the better."

Baozi didn't drink his coffee and almost choked on the words.

He looked at Ji Li suspiciously, "... Brother Ji, you really don't know anything?"

Some trainees said that Brother Ji lived in the countryside since he was a child and has never been exposed to too new entertainment information. Could it be... is this true

But looking at Brother Ji's conversation and temperament, it doesn't look like that at all

Ji Li nodded honestly, "Frankly speaking, I know very little."

After all, the original book is written around the stardom of the protagonist, and the description of these behind-the-scenes companies is very brief.

Ji Li trusted Yu Fuya's suggestion, and also heard that Qin Li had worked in this company before... The most important thing is, how bad is the company where the protagonist of the original book stayed

After coming and going, he simply agreed to quit and sign a contract.

Ji Li has been busy filming for the past two months, so he really forgot to check the details of the company.

Baozi nodded, and quickly moved into an "Entertainment Encyclopedia" posture, and gave him a detailed science popularization—

Chaoying Culture has been established for almost 50 years. It is one of the few established companies in the Chinese entertainment circle, and the company has produced countless outstanding actors.

The current executive director Tao Mingyang is the second term, and he and Yu Fuya are also university alumni.

The two have joined forces since graduation, one managing the company and the other managing artists. Eight or nine years ago, under the leadership of the two of them, Chaoying Culture had a peak period that other companies were extremely envious of.

In the company, there are the film emperor Fang Mo and the actress Yao Kexing who are more senior, and then there are Qin Li and Zhu Xusheng who were known as the "Super Movie Twin Stars" at that time.

The former won the Best Actor within a year of his debut, and won Shidi by virtue of a TV series; although the latter's actual performance is a bit worse, he also has super popularity.

In addition, popular actress Shi Meng, Tsing Yi Zhong Yuesheng, newcomer Sun Yinger...

Among the artists launched by Chaoying, none of them are unpopular. You know, in the vast entertainment circle, it is already very powerful for each company to produce a popular star.

At that time, the Chaoying culture was in the limelight, and it attracted a lot of red eye disease from the opponent, and a little trouble could make the whole circle know it.

Baozi looked around and said in a low voice, "The most typical thing is the relationship between Sister Yu and Zhu Xusheng."

In addition to fans making noise about the sister-brother relationship, there was also the support from colleagues behind it.

Some people just wish that Yu Fuya would step down because of this matter, so that Tao Mingyang would lose his helper and Chaoying would go downhill.

Ji Li understood the depth of the water, and asked, "What happened next?"

"After Zhu Xusheng made trouble and quit, actor Fang Mo retired from acting, and actress Yao Kexing announced his retirement and marriage..."

Qin Li and the company got together and parted ways, and after the contract was terminated, he founded Lixing Culture with Qi An.

"By the way, Shi Meng, do you know? Teacher Qin Li is terminating the contract when it expires, and she is taking advantage of the contract period to make a fuss about terminating the contract."

Baozi lowered his voice again, "Not only that, but she also took away a group of newcomers that the company devoted herself to cultivating, and set up her own company."

In fact, this matter is a bit unkind, but it is hard to say whether the choices everyone makes for their own interests are right or wrong.

At the same time, Yu Fuya also returned to the family because of her marriage.

The old artists are almost gone, and the newcomers have not yet emerged. Chaoying Culture has not been successful in the past two years, and it is showing signs of going downhill.

"Apart from Jiang Ying'er, the company's new favorite in the past two years, Wei Lai is the first brother. It's just that the latter can't afford to make waves. It's really hard to say that it's a first-line star."

Baozi told all the things he knew, and quietly encouraged Ji Li.

"Brother Ji, come on! I think it's good for you to come to this company. With your strength, you will definitely become the company's top brother, and you will have all the resources you want by then!"

Ji Li pinched his lips, and stopped him in a gentle voice, "Don't draw a big cake for me, let's take our time."

Baozi hehe twice, no longer refute.

Five minutes later, Yu Fuya sent a WeChat message asking them to go directly to the twelfth floor.

The two quickly stepped into the elevator, which slowly ascended and stopped on the eighth floor.

Baozi caught a glimpse of the number of floors he was staying on, and muttered, "This floor seems to be reserved for the trainees of the film and television department."

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared from the slowly opened elevator door.

Ji Li lowered his eyes slightly, and immediately noticed the name tag on the opponent's chest—

super shadow trainee,

Ji Yunqi.
