I Became Hugely Popular After Becoming a Cannon Fodder Star

Chapter 35

Because of the sudden replacement, the crew suspended today's filming.

In the lounge, Ji Li looked at the man in front of him and sincerely thanked him, "Brother Li, you helped me again, otherwise I really have to resign as the male number three."

Qin Li's sharpness when dealing with outsiders was completely wiped out, and he pursed his lips lightly, "You helped me. Otherwise, I would not only lose the investment of Li Xing, but also lose a wave of reputation."

Qin Li's emotional intelligence is very high, and the answer turns the unilateral "favor" into a "cooperation and mutual benefit" between both parties.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Ji Li picked up the milk tea slowly and took a sip.

Qin Li covered the smile in his eyes, and mentioned another matter, "Actually, you should have told me about the script earlier, there's no need for screenwriter Mu to make a special trip."

"I asked him to find you in person, which can save some unnecessary trouble." Ji Li confessed.

In front of men, he didn't intend to hide his true thoughts.

Qin Li understood the meaning of these words and smiled without saying a word.

He invested in this film, and the other party is one of the film actors. The "fabricated black material" some time ago has just stopped, and it is not suitable for them to have too much involvement.

It is indeed appropriate and appropriate for Mu Wang to come forward to find him as the screenwriter of the original work.

Of course, the most important thing is that the three of them have the same wishes for the script.

Young people live a real and transparent life, even if they have some exquisite thoughts, they will not make others feel disgusted.

When Qin Li thought of this, a melting smile flashed across his eyes.

Ji Li asked, "Brother Li, you have changed three important people all of a sudden, what does the producer say?"

Although there were so many turmoil in less than two days after starting the film, he still values this movie and this role very much, and hopes that the new director, screenwriter, and male lead will take it seriously.

"Everyone has been found. Director Wang Zhang will take over the show. His shooting style is very suitable for such a reversed script."

Thinking of Wang Zhang, Ji Li's eyes lit up instantly, "I met Director Wang once when I was still a trainee at Dream Media."

On the first day he replaced the original owner, he ran into Wang Zhang who came to assess the trainees.

Qin Li answered clearly, "I know, you also acted in my movie clips."

Ji Li was surprised, "Brother Li, do you know about this?"

"Wang Zhang showed me your assessment clip."

Qin Li affirmed, "The version you played is better than the original version, and the emotional handling of the characters is much more mature than mine."

That movie clip made many people applaud Qin Li back then.

But now, the man can actually directly throw away such a "glorious" interpretation segment, and sincerely applaud his interpretation of the new segment.

When Ji Li heard this, a kind of inexplicable and unexplainable subtlety drilled into his heart.

He suddenly felt that maybe the two people's sincere understanding of performance had something in common in the depths of their souls.

"The original script is already perfect, and there is no need to make major changes. The on-site screenwriting is still left to Mu Suian. I asked Ms. Ji Yueming to read the script, and she is willing to be named the chief screenwriter of this movie."

Ji Mingyue is the second sister of the original host Ji Yunqi, and she is also one of the top characters in the screenwriting circle.

With heavyweight directors and screenwriters in charge, the production team of the film looks a lot better on the bright side.

Ji Li nodded, convinced by the man's arrangement.

"What about the male lead?"

"I will let an actor from the company take the top spot. His name is Feng Cheng, and he is willing to learn some talents."

Fertile water does not flow into outsiders' fields.

Instead of letting artists from other companies occupy the position of the heroine, and not letting Yue Xing's own artists to act, at least know the basics.

The next second, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and Qi An pushed the door open to enter.

"Qin Li, Wang Zhang and Feng Cheng have already got off the plane and they called and said they will arrive in about half an hour. Shall we call the other leading actors of the film crew and have a meeting together?"

The director has changed, and many people in the production team have to change accordingly, the announcement list has to be re-adjusted, and even the director and actors need to re-adjust.

Everything has to be overthrown and restarted.

Fortunately, it has been less than two days since the start-up, and there are few scenes to complete the filming, which has reduced the consumption of manpower and material resources to the greatest extent.

Qin Li responded, "Well, you can inform the arrangement."

Half an hour later, director Wang Zhang and leading actor Feng Cheng arrived at the crew meeting room.

Although the two were temporarily pulled over by Qin Li, they were both happy to accept the new job.

Coincidentally, except for Ji Li, the other four leading actors have more or less participated in the film and television works directed by Wang Zhang.

When Wang Zhang saw these actors, he didn't need to say polite words at all.

In front of everyone, he went straight to Ji Li's side, and asked with a smile, "Do you remember me?"

Ji Li was not at all embarrassed, and greeted with a smile, "Director Wang Zhang, long time no see. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to cooperate with you so soon."

Without the embarrassment and abjection of the past, the young man at this moment is calm and eye-catching, which greatly increases Wang Zhang's favorability.

"Yeah, this cooperation came too suddenly."

Wang Zhang paused, and said, "I went to a directors' meeting a few days ago, and director Zheng Anxing mentioned you to me."

As directors, they can meet countless actors every year, and the newcomer who may make them remember deeply at the same time is only Ji Li.

Wang Zhang made no secret of his expectation for Ji Li, "You have to perform well for me in the next shoot."

Ji Li responded seriously, "Director Wang, I will do my best to play this role well."

Except for Cai Yishu, who was added to the drama before, the other leading actors in the crew are not troublesome.

At this moment, they watched the interaction between Wang Zhang and Ji Li without the slightest resentment or jealousy. Instead, they were looking forward to the next cooperation.

Feng Cheng said friendly, "I'm the latest to join the group, and I'm still not familiar with the script. I'll trouble you next time, please take care of me."

His own boss was sitting at the main seat, so Feng Cheng naturally showed his 120,000 points of energy.

Lixing is a company that values acting skills the most in the industry, and there are countless veteran and powerful actors under the company.

The company has never adopted a fancy trainer selection system. Qin Li has strict requirements, and he personally selects the newcomers who join the company every year from among the students in the class.

Feng Cheng joined last year, and the company has spent the past two years training him in supporting roles in films produced in Canada.

This time the hero of the movie came suddenly, he valued and cherished it very much.

"I will convene the team to re-determine all matters related to filming overnight, and strive for everything to go as usual."

"As an investor, I don't want anyone to compromise my interests for personal reasons; as a senior in the film industry, I hope everyone will focus on shooting."

"I don't want this crew to have a second Cai Yishu."

Qin Li's speech was very concise, but full of aura.

Several actors nodded their heads, all with expressions of conviction.

When Ji Li saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up—it seemed that the man's legendary status and degree of admiration in the film and television industry were really true.

Wang Zhang took the script and patted it, and he acted vigorously, "Okay, to make a long story short, let's hurry up and read the script, especially Xiao Feng, and get familiar with the original script as soon as possible."

Before the filming starts, the actors sit together and read the script. This is an indispensable link to help the actors get familiar with the plot, find the feeling of the role as soon as possible, and get in harmony with each other's roles.

But before Guo Minsheng actually ignored this important matter directly, which shows how perfunctory he is in film work.

Now that they heard Wang Zhang's order, the actors were so excited that they called their assistants to get the original script.

Ji Li took out the original script that he carried with him, he opened the first page filled with marks, and waited for everyone to start together with satisfied eyes.

Qin Li sat quietly in his seat, paying attention to the young man from the corner of his eye.

The other party sat upright with a small body, folded his hands on the script, and the waiting appearance was indescribably cute, and it was easy to distinguish his inner anticipation and joy.

Qin Li hid the smile on his lips, and suddenly felt that his investment was extremely correct.

Leaving aside the concept of time reincarnation, in fact, the story basis of "Time Talker" is very simple, it is a group portrait of youth—

The male protagonist Cheng Yu is an abandoned baby picked up by an old couple. He grew up eating a lot of food in a small town since he was a child. Unlike the school bullies in previous youth dramas, Cheng Yu has not studied hard since he was a child, and is a well-known bully near Zhengao.

The second male, Fang Huai, is a god-level figure with good looks. Outsiders envy him, but few people know that the expectations and control of Fang's mother, who is a divorced single parent, have reached a suffocating level of oppression.

The male Sanxiang Suian has a quiet and introverted personality, and lives a plain and ordinary life. He is not as flamboyant as Cheng Yu, nor as outstanding as Fang Huai, but more like the epitome of thousands of ordinary children.

Such three completely different boys who seem to have no intersection, because of an accidental acquaintance when they were young.

Then, they became friends who talked about everything and stayed with each other year after year.

In the third year of high school, a beautiful and well-behaved transfer student came to the town.

From that moment on, the gears of fate among the three began to rotate rapidly, until finally, it was the desperate and irredeemable disintegration.

The three-hour script reading ended with Ji Li's last utterance.

Feng Cheng and Wei Lai looked at each other and sighed at the same time—

They had to admit that Ji Li's lines were excellent.

Even if it was just a simple reading of the script, he did not relax in the slightest, and even detailed the state of the characters to the end of each line.

Feng Cheng and Wei Lai were unknowingly driven by him, and unexpectedly put their 100% into it.

After some reading, they all entered the role state without Wang Zhang's deliberate leadership.

The performances of the two actresses were also not bad. When Ji Li finished reading the last line, one eye socket was more red than the other.

Both of them were arranged into the film crew by the company. Previously, because of the repeated revision of the script, all the plots were forced to be seen in a mess.

Now that they have read the original script, they understand how good and touching the story is.

Chang Shiran, who played the heroine, wiped away her tears embarrassingly, "Suddenly I really look forward to seeing this story released in theaters."

This is the best youth movie script she has seen in recent years, bar none.

"Me too." The second female actor responded spontaneously.

Wang Zhang nodded in satisfaction, "See? This is the charm of a good script and a good story."

Even if there is no picture, just reading the text can leave a mark deep in people's hearts.

Several leading actors looked at each other and locked their eyes on Ji Li at the same time—

I heard that young people were the first actors to be signed? When it was decided to sign the contract, this movie was still a small production that no one cared about

The vision of choosing the script is too good!

As soon as the reading was over, Ji Li took out the thermos in his backpack and drank it one sip after another. After working hard for three hours, his mouth became parched and he panicked.

The thermos was filled with iced milk tea, which Baozi had deliberately 'disguised' for him, in case he would be too embarrassed to drink it while holding a cup of milk tea in front of everyone.

Ji Li happily drank several sips, looked up, and met the eyes of everyone.

He who secretly drank milk tea suddenly felt guilty and almost coughed, "... what do you see me doing?"

"I praise you for having a good eye for picking scripts." Wang Zhang was amused by his reaction.

After looking around, he said, "Okay, thanks for the hard work everyone, let's go back and rest first. When the shooting announcement is adjusted, your assistants will let you know."

"OK."

"The director has also worked hard."

Everyone responded one after another.

Not long after Qin Li started reading, he went to a meeting with the production team next door for him.

Each director's shooting style is different, and the script idea before shooting is also different. Wang Zhang glanced at the time and got up first. He still had to be busy.

After all, the adjustment of the filming team is not a trivial matter. It was not until noon on the third day that Ji Li received the official notice of the first day of filming—

Of the four scenes in total, Ji Li alone took up three, especially the two scenes at night, which were quite difficult.

Yu Fuya stared at the content of the scene on the notice sheet, feeling a little worried.

"It's only the first day of filming again, and Director Wang is going to shoot the main scene of your role? Ji Li, are you in good condition? Do you need me to come forward and discuss with them again?"

Generally speaking, the highlight of the role is to stay in the middle and late stages.

Because at that time, the actor has entered the idealized "role" state, the empathy ability will be stronger, and the shooting effect will be better.

"Sister Yu, there's no need to discuss it, I can shoot it." Ji Li replied decisively, flipping the script to the scene he memorized.

"It's only been a few days since Feng Cheng and the others got the original script. Director Wang Zhang must have considered this and arranged my role forward."

Ji Li made a reasonable guess. After all, among the five, he was the one who took the longest time to get the script.

Yu Fuya reacted and nodded, "Okay."

She has confidence in the young man's acting skills. Since the other party said there is no problem, there must be no problem.

Modern dramas don't need to wear headgear like ancient costumes, so they save a lot of time on makeup and hair.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Li arrived at the set on time.

From a long distance, he saw Qin Li, who was standing beside Wang Zhang, and the two were discussing something seriously.

"Director Wang, good afternoon."

Ji Li approached to say hello, his eyes fell on Qin Li's face immediately, "Brother Li, are you going to stay on the set?"

Wang Zhang rolled up the script and spoke first, "He, let me take over this 'rotten' mess temporarily, of course I will force him to stay and help for a few days."

Qin Li smiled and explained, "The plane at nine o'clock in the evening, I can leave with peace of mind when the filming here is on track."

Ji Li nodded.

I heard that when the man is filming, the company's affairs are also busy.

As the big boss of the investor, he was able to temporarily spare three days to help out with the crew, which was considered as the best of his benevolence.

Not long after, Feng Cheng and Wei Lai, who had finished their makeup, came over one after the other.

"Director, Mr. Qin Li, good afternoon."

"Come on, try your part." Wang Zhang tapped on the script and said encouragingly, "You try to pass the first scene once, so it will be a good omen for the whole crew!"

Today's first scene is a three-person group scene, and I want to film their daily life after school.

The scenes are relaxed and the lines are simple, mainly highlighting the delicate and real friendship between the three boys.

Daily scenes are not difficult. Ji Li and others are all actors who have filming experience. After simply walking through two scenes, they entered the state of formal filming.

Five minutes later, everything is ready.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Wang Zhang yelled for the first start of the movie.

The setting sun sprinkles into the river in the town, and the sparkling water always looks very gentle.

On the moss-covered stone path, the wheels of a bicycle passed by at high speed.

Cheng Yu, played by Feng Cheng, braked nimbly and put the car across the narrow stone road. He hooked his fingertips at the two teenagers in front of him, "Hey, charge a toll."

Ji Li stared at the boy who suddenly appeared, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

Today was the first day of the third year of high school, but the other party played truant temporarily in the morning and went to fight somewhere, which caused him to be worried all day. Fortunately, he didn't seem to be injured at the moment.

The camera captures the subtle expression of the youth at this second.

Wang Zhang in front of the monitor snorted and said, "This kid, the inner relationship of the characters is well understood."

Compared with Fang Huai, the male second with strict family education and excellent study, the living environment of the male protagonist Cheng Yu and the male third Xiang Suian are actually more similar, so the inner world of the two will be closer.

Fang Huai, played by Wei Lai, stopped. He slapped his friend's unscrupulous palm, "Where did you get the bicycle?"

Feng Cheng chuckled twice, turned around and squeezed between them.

While hooking a friend, he raised his chin, "It was used by others to repay the debt. Brother Yang said he would lend me a ride for two days, how about it? Do you want me to take you for a ride?"

Fang Huaihe smiled at Sui'an, and walked away, "Leave, go home and review."

Cheng Yu stared at the backs of the two of them, and muttered angrily, "It's boring for two old-fashioned people who only know how to read."

"Don't blame us for not reminding you that tomorrow the third year of senior high school will take a unified test. If you miss the test, you will have to invite your parents."

"I rely on it!"

Cheng Yu uttered a foul language, quickly got on his bicycle and followed them, "What test? What test? Hey, wait for me..."

The scene went well.

Feng Cheng and Wei Lai were immersed in their roles, bickering back and forth.

Ji Li followed beside his friends, with a slight smile in his eyes. Among the three boys, Xiang Suian played by him is always the quietest one.

"Fang Huai, it's almost six o'clock." Ji Li glanced at his watch and reminded him gently.

Wei Lai's joking expression froze instantly, and he took a deep breath, "I'm going back first, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow? I'll bring it to you."

"The third one." Feng Cheng snapped his fingers and urged, "Go back quickly, or your mother will be thrown into chaos again."

Fang Huai's mother was very strict with him, and even the time to go home from school was reduced to less than one minute.

Once there is a situation of arriving home late, Fang Huai will inevitably say "I am doing it for your own good".

It's not that he didn't break out to resist, but in return it was the other party's farce of "crying, making trouble, and hanging himself".

Feng Cheng hooked Ji Li's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, if Fang Huai is forced to go down by his mother, will he go crazy?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Ji Li took out the two stacks of notes in his schoolbag and handed them over.

"The above are the notes of the three subjects that Fang Huai sorted out, and the bottom is mine. I know that you are sleepy while reading, so I circled the key points of the exam in advance, so you can memorize as much as you can."

Feng Cheng flipped through the neatly written notes, snorted, "Got it."

These two people didn't panic before the exam, but they were worried for him.

Looking at the smiling face of the young man, Ji Li said firmly, "Ayu, don't hang around anymore."

The boy's voice was very soft, yet serious.

Cheng Yu is a child who grew up eating a lot of food. He has seen all kinds of things in the world since he was a child. At this age, he is lonely and wild.

Apart from the old couple who adopted him, the only ones who could talk to him were Xiang Suian and Fang Huai.

In order to make money earlier, Cheng Yu joined a gang of thugs in the town since he was in high school, and occasionally helped his boss, Brother Yang, fight with him, even risking his life.

He was seriously injured several times, and he was afraid that the old man would worry, so he would hide in Xiang Suian's room to recuperate.

Xiang Suian has seen all of Cheng Yu's embarrassments.

"... Ayu, your life shouldn't be like this."

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Ji Li's eyes were light and focused, but Feng Cheng understood the true emotion in his eyes.

He wished him well.

Stay away from fighting and fighting, even if you live an ordinary life, as long as you are safe.

The emotions hidden deep in the script were silently refined by Ji Lirunwu.

Feng Cheng was touched by unspeakable emotions, and his heart beat suddenly slowed down.

For some reason, he thought of Cheng Yu's final ending—in the cold prison day and night, it was a loneliness more desperate than death.

His eyes dimmed for a moment, and he blurted out, "My life has been in hell, there's nothing wrong with it."

"..."

Unreasonable depression pervaded for three seconds.

Feng Cheng let out a breath, and immediately changed back to that unrestrained and wanton look, "It looks like you are under a lot of pressure in the third year of high school? Why are you pretending to be deep in front of me?"

He patted Ji Li on the head with his notebook, "Leave, go home and review."

Feng Cheng pushed the bicycle and trotted forward.

A few meters away, the boy said a gentle and serious farewell voice, "Ayu, see you tomorrow."

Feng Cheng turned his head, and his eyes fell on the corner of the other's upturned lips. The smile was very light and faint, and somehow made him feel a burst of warmth like a spring breeze.

The haze in Feng Cheng's eyes completely dissipated, he came back to his senses, and waved his back to Ji Li, "See you at school tomorrow."

The camera zooms out slowly.

The town was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the three teenagers walked towards their respective homes along three different alleys.

Just like their future life trajectories, no matter how long they have been side by side, there will be times when they turn around and part ways.

A play ends.

Wang Zhang looked at Qin Li beside him, and praised with satisfaction, "Your company's Feng Cheng, your acting skills have improved a lot in the past six months?"

The emotion conveyed by that look just now was completely beyond his expectation, much better than the previous two test shoots.

"It was Ji Li who brought him into the play." Qin Li stared at Ji Li in the lower right corner of the monitor, his tone raised unconsciously.

Whether it's a cooperation in a play or a sideshow, the other party can bring him different surprises every time.

The young man's acting skills are far more exquisite and delicate than he imagined.

This time playing with his peers, Ji Li is the one who understands the role best.

During the three-person group scene, even though he was quiet and did not speak, as long as the camera glanced at his eyes, the aura he released still declared his sense of existence.

No more, no less, just right.

Later, the three-person group scene turned into a two-person rivalry scene, and Ji Liyi changed his previous acting state.

He completely put Feng Cheng, the male lead, in the dominant position, and put himself in the secondary support position.

The state of acting is restrained and restrained.

Not only does it not overwhelm the guest, but at key points in the plot, it can easily convey the emotions you want and drive the latter into the play.

Wang Zhang's director skills are still there. After a little aftertaste, he tasted Ji Li's delicate sense of balance in this scene.

He exclaimed in surprise, and sighed sincerely to Qin Li, "I think this entertainment industry will finally have a second you."

"No." Qin Li shook his head slightly, and his tone was light and cheerful, "It is this entertainment industry that has a unique Ji Li."
