The departmental division of Chaoying Culture is very detailed. It is said that it is simple to meet with the ministers of each department, but there are also more than a dozen people.
It was the first time for Ji Li to come to the company. Although he didn't know anything about these strange faces, other people already knew his information very thoroughly.
Yu Fuya returned to sign Ji Li after three years, and brought him back to his old club Chaoying. Although the boss Tao Mingyang didn't say it clearly, everyone knew it well——
As long as Ji Li doesn't act like a monster in private, the company will definitely praise him, and it's not difficult to get popular just by showing his face.
A group of people discussed Ji Li's future plans for more than an hour, and the meeting was adjourned just before the end of get off work.
Baozi flipped through his records and sighed, "Brother Ji, the company's plan for your future is too detailed. I have made twelve pages of brief notes."
Ji Li's eyes moved slightly, and the heartstrings that had been tensed for a long time finally relaxed.
Compared with the indifferent attitude of Dream Media, Chaoying Culture has done its best for him. With the assistance of such a company, he will be able to devote himself wholeheartedly to filming in the future.
"Ji Li, you rest at home for ten days. After ten days, I will take you to the company to shoot some daily materials, as well as an e-magazine shoot and interview."
Yu Fuya confirmed Ji Li's itinerary for nearly half a month, and walked in to tell her.
Because of the collapse of the other party after the finale yesterday, she deliberately postponed the rest time for a few days.
"Okay." Ji Li replied.
Ten days is enough time for him to concentrate on acting, and study the script by the way.
Ji Li glanced at the movie script on the desktop, and suddenly remembered something, "Sister Yu, can you contact the screenwriter for me? I'll be on the set after a while, and I want to talk to him face-to-face about my motivation for creation."
Yu Fuya understood, "...do you think the characters in this movie have prototypes, and aren't they completely fictional?"
"Well, I felt this way when I read the script."
Yu Fuya shook her head slightly, expressing her thoughts, "This script involves several reincarnations. Even if there is a prototype story, it may be far from the script."
"I understand what you mean, but I still want to have an in-depth discussion with the screenwriter." Ji Li insisted.
He is used to trying his best to understand the script and characters as thoroughly as he can before shooting starts.
"It's simple, I'll contact you after joining the group." Yu Fuya responded, and recruited Baozi again, "You should rest early today, and call us if you have anything to do."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After the two left, Ji Li picked up the script on the table and sat back on the sofa. Seeing the timing, Xuebing jumped onto his lap and leaned softly against it.
Ji Li ran down its fur with one hand, and opened the movie script with the other.
Yu Fuya is right, this script is not an ordinary youth movie, but combines the concept of infinite time reincarnation, which is indeed a bit out of daily logic.
But the most ingenious and most attractive place for Ji Li is its narrative angle——
It is not the hero and heroine that people usually recognize, nor is it a second-class match between a man and a woman, but a series from the perspective of Xiang Suian, the third male lead.
The opening of the script is a dark and tragic scene.
The hostess was brutally abused by her husband after marriage, so she couldn't bear it and chose to commit suicide.
At her funeral, the male protagonist who had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared, and he stabbed the scumbag husband in front of the mourning guests.
The rushing crowd squeezed away the panicked crowd from Xiang Sui'an—
In the torrential rain, the scumbag struggled to crawl out clutching the wound on his abdomen, and the blood was washed and stained the entire cemetery red. The male protagonist trampled on the soles of his feet viciously, raised the knife with murderous intentions, and killed him with one blow.
Looking at everything in front of him, Xiang Suian knelt on the ground stiffly, and asked bitterly, "Why? You agreed to listen to me!"
The male protagonist came to him like a walking dead, "Suian, I'm sorry, from the moment she died, I can't go back."
The torrential rain blurred the sight of the two looking at each other.
With the sound of heavy breathing and his heartbeat slowing down bit by bit, Xiang Suan fell down like a lost soul.
Flashbacks of the past,
They are all pictures of my school days buried deep in my memory.
When the screen changed, the eighteen-year-old Xiang Suian woke up suddenly, his forehead was covered with sweat. His long-time friends surrounded him and asked with concern, "Are you all right? Are you having a nightmare?"
The young and vivid face in front of him overlapped and blurred with the previous face full of hatred.
"Forget it, just wake up, Fang Huai has already bought breakfast." The hero Cheng Yu patted his face and urged, "Hurry up and pack up, we'll wait for you downstairs."
Xiang Suian watched him leave before his eyes fell on the calendar on the wall.
He was silent for a long time before murmuring miserably, "...has it started again?"
Yes, the gears of fate turned back quickly, and some doomed reincarnations began again.
…
The several reversals in the movie are very unexpected, and the foreshadowing is deeply buried in it, which needs to be carefully excavated by human beings. As for the friendship and love portrayal of the protagonist group, it is also very clear and moving.
The role of the male third is less than that of the protagonist, but it is difficult to shape.
The two timelines carefully written in the script require the actors to reflect Xiang Suian's completely different moods under the same scene and story background.
As big as the tone of voice and body movements, as small as the small details of eyes and fingertips, they all need to be changed accordingly.
Ji Li stayed at home and devoted himself to studying the script.
In less than ten days, the script was filled to the brim with his notes.
In the dressing room, Baozi flipped through Ji Li's script and was overwhelmed with admiration, "Brother Ji, isn't your research too detailed?"
It's obviously the same character, but after reading Ji Li's remarks, Baozi felt that he was going to follow the 'fine division'.
Ji Li smiled and let the staff put on his makeup.
Today's announcement is not busy, just to shoot the makeup photos of the movie characters.
The staff bought a few drinks and came back, and said casually, "I just met Mr. Qi An in the elevator."
"Qi'an? Why is he here?" Ji Li was obviously surprised to hear the familiar name.
"This studio is owned by Lixing, and the headquarters of Lixing is located on the 20th floor. It is not surprising to meet Mr. Qi." The makeup artist gave Ji Li a faint silhouette and explained casually.
Ji Li was not familiar with the distribution of entertainment companies in Haishi, so he was even more surprised when he heard this at first.
The makeup artist had a good impression of him, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ji, don't you know that Li Xing is now the biggest investor in the movie theater?"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Fuya came back from the outside.
Ji Li looked at her through the mirror, and asked directly, "Sister Yu, Li Xing and the others invested in this movie? When did it happen?"
"I just found out about this, and the production crew called me. The investment in Yue Xing was confirmed only a week ago, and it was a project that Qin Li personally took a fancy to."
When Ji Li heard this, his eyes brightened slightly.
When he was in the lounge that day, Qin Li flipped through a few pages of his script. He originally thought that the man was just flipping through it, but he didn't expect that the other party not only recognized his vision for reading scripts, but also made an investment with a lot of money
Yu Fuya continued, "All the newcomers who were originally scheduled as male one and male two have been replaced, only you, male three, have not changed."
Qin Li's vision has always been accurate, and many people regard his investment as a box office bellwether. "Time Talker" was his fancy investment, and it suddenly became a sweet pastry that everyone wanted from a low-budget movie that no one cared about.
Many actors "follow the taste" actively asked to participate in the show, and the producers did not hesitate to replace unknown newcomers for the sake of future box office.
The more investment, the bigger the number of actors participating in the show; the bigger the number of actors, the more guarantee for the future box office.
The entertainment industry is a typical 'law of the jungle', and the competition is far more terrifying than the outside world imagines.
Ji Li understood the law of survival, and frowned slightly, "Who was it?"
"The male number one was replaced by Cai Yishu from Jincheng Films, and the second male number was replaced by Wei Lai from our company." Yu Fuya's teeth itch when he mentioned Jincheng Films.
Zhu Xusheng, who had a heated quarrel with her back then, jumped to Jincheng Pictures, and now he has become a shareholder of this company.
For Yu Fuya, what her predecessor did back then has reached the point where she hates it. Even people and things including Jincheng Pictures have been affected.
She took a long breath, "Forget it, just change people. It's better to invest more, anyway, you are the unshakable male number three, half of the soul in the movie script, we will not suffer."
Yu Fuya paused, and changed the subject, "By the way, is our family Ji Li shooting alone today?"
The staff stopped what they were doing and replied, "The two actresses had their makeup photos taken yesterday, Wei Lai from your company will have time to shoot tomorrow, and Cai Yishu's makeup photos are scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon, but you guys Shouldn't be able to touch it."
"The day after tomorrow the crew will start up, there is always a chance to meet." Ji Li calmly replied, and took the white school uniform handed over by the costumer, "I'll go and change it first, let's hurry up and shoot."
When Baozi thought of the gossip about Cai Yishu, his eyes felt a little disgusted.
However, he didn't want to interrupt Ji Li's work temporarily, so he had to temporarily suppress the true emotions in his heart.
Taking makeup photos is a piece of cake for Ji Li.
Before three o'clock, he called it a day and sat back in the car.
"The opening ceremony at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, we'll take the morning plane." Yu Fuya talked about the itinerary, then tapped her phone, "Ji Li, the producer said that the script has been changed, the new version I've already sent it to you."
Ji Li responded, and casually clicked on the latest version of the electronic script in the mailbox of the mobile phone.
For a moment, his gaze was fixed—the screenwriter's signature on the lower right changed.
Ji Li vaguely felt that something was wrong, and quickly browsed through the content of the script. Time passed by every minute and every second, and his eyes gradually became complicated.
Ten minutes later, Ji Li closed the script page with a cold face.
Baozi and Yu Fuya looked at each other and asked in unison, "What's wrong?"
Ji Li winked, and shook his head inexplicably, "The content of the script has been changed in a big way, and several highlights of the male lead three scenes have been completely deleted."
