Ji Li followed the route he remembered and returned to his residence.
Dream Media will arrange dormitories for its trainees, four people to one room. However, the original owner has a boring and introverted personality, and was isolated from the beginning without any roommates.
At this moment, Ji Li looked at the dormitory space he had monopolized, and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.
The dirty clothes were taken off in time. After washing, Ji Li planned to find some clean clothes to change into, but when he opened the closet, he was completely dumbfounded——
In the originally cramped closet, there were only a few short-sleeved pieces folded, which looked like street goods worn for a long time, and even the original color of the fabric had been washed and faded.
Ji Li rubbed his temples, feeling a headache for no reason.
Accustomed to living the gorgeous life of an actor, Ji Li has always had high requirements for daily expenses. As a result, things are going well now, and the standard of living has plummeted like the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, and the word "really miserable" is almost engraved on the forehead.
Ji Li pulled out a jacket casually, and checked the original owner's account with his mobile phone. It's okay if he doesn't check, but he feels chest tightness when he checks. The balance of the payment wallet and bank card is added together, and the total is less than five hundred.
What is human suffering
This is.
No wonder the original owner was willing to be bullied by Lin Qiao and his group, but he also insisted on staying in the company. In addition to the huge breach of contract fee, presumably because the company provides food and housing, it can save some money in this regard.
If there is no money, there is no way to pay liquidated damages, and Ji Li can't leave even if he wants to.
That being the case, why not take advantage of this 'new vest' and have a good time
After all, acting is the easiest job for him, and in this unknown entertainment circle, everything is novel.
Ji Li made up his mind, opened the phone webpage and entered the four characters of 'dream media'. Now that the original owner has been replaced, it is necessary to understand the current master clearly.
Soon, relevant information popped up.
Dream Media made its fortune from 'music production'. It used to be one of the best entertainment companies in the Chinese music scene, and has produced many well-known singers.
In recent years, the Chinese music scene has been invaded by the trend of overseas idols, and it has gradually declined. Seeing this, Meng Zihuai, the boss of the company, made people open the film and television sector, intending to gradually shift the company's focus.
After all, it was a half-way diversion. Dream Media's qualifications in this area are not as good as other film and television companies.
So Meng Zihuai found another way and became the model of trainees of the film and television "idol". The acting skills are not enough, but the good looks come together, and use the latter to make a quick buck in the fast-changing entertainment industry.
The original owner was selected and signed as a trainee because of his good looks. Later, the company was abandoned because his value was exhausted.
After Ji Li understood the general situation, he already made up his mind.
Even if Dream Media has film and television resources, there is a high probability that it will be an "idol" film and television work, which is obviously not suitable for the long-term development of an artist who is truly an actor.
If an actor wants to truly gain a foothold in the film and television industry, he still has to rely on his works and strength to speak.
The mobile phone suddenly vibrated, it was a notification message from the company—attention all trainees, please arrive at the company to report tomorrow afternoon, then you will be assigned film and television roles and test the waters for filming.
Ji Li stared at the screen of the phone, his eyes shimmering.
also good.
Since he can't leave for the time being, he might as well use these job opportunities to get to know as many people in the circle as possible, and maybe he can get the resources he wants by himself.
In a flash, it was eleven o'clock.
Thinking about not having to get up early tomorrow, Ji Li simply recalled the contents of the book while his mind was still clear.
The protagonist in the novel is named Ji Yunqi, a wealthy young master who grew up loved and doted on, not only loved by his parents, but even his twin brothers and sisters are particularly fond of him.
But Ji Yunqi is not interested in the family business, and wants to get involved in the entertainment industry. His second sister is a well-known screenwriter in the film and television industry and has quite a lot of contacts. After getting permission, the former stepped into this circle.
The Ji Yunqi described in the book is a talented actor. Although he is not from a major, he has a strong ability to comprehend roles. Coupled with his arrogant and bright appearance, he is a rare aristocratic temperament in the entertainment industry, and he has gained a lot of popularity.
Escorted by big bosses inside the circle and backed by families outside the circle, Ji Yunqi's stardom has been a cool style from the beginning.
And the original host and Ji Yunqi's few exchanges were at that 'special' banquet. The former was instigated by the broker, while the latter was 'deceived' by someone with a heart.
At a critical moment, Ji Yunqi was rescued by his elder brother who rushed over, but the original owner was cut in the face by a glass wine bottle in the chaos, and completely lost his only advantage in the entertainment industry.
Calculated according to the time, the protagonist at this moment has not yet debuted, and there is no pressure on him as the 'cannon fodder'.
After thinking about this, Ji Li simply put everything in the book behind him for the time being.
…
The next day, Ji Li woke up naturally after a good night's sleep, and arrived at the company in the afternoon according to the notification.
In the daily training room, there was only one man standing with his back to the door, with a lighted cigarette between his fingers.
Knock knock.
Ji Li knocked on the door calmly and said, "Hello."
The man turned around, and the moment his eyes touched Ji Li, the impatience in his eyes froze slightly. He froze for half a second, and exhaled a thin puff of smoke, "Ji Li?"
"Yes." Ji Li remembered this person, and the other party was Wang Qiuhui, the leader of the rookie team.
Wang Qiuhui approached and scanned him up and down, snorting inexplicably, "I haven't seen you for a few days, did you change your appearance?"
The original owner's clothes were too old to look at. Ji Li couldn't hold back and bought a set of clothes, white short-sleeved and black sweatpants. The price was not expensive, and the matching was simple and elegant.
He brushed all the hair that was too long to cover his face at the back of his head, and tied it with a rubber band into a bunch of little Jiujiu.
As soon as the outfit is changed, the whole person will naturally look different.
Wang Qiuhui's eyes continued to linger on Ji Li's face, "No wonder Mr. Meng and Song Lan wanted to sign you in the first place. If you were packaged to debut, you would indeed become a scourge in the circle."
Ji Li hooked his lips lightly, not disgusted with this 'exaggerated' compliment at all.
The original owner's bones were originally good-looking, but also clean and cold white skin. The most special thing is that there is a small light brown mole on his tall nose, which adds a little more sex appeal and lust to this pure and soft face.
When Ji Li discovered this last night, he secretly sighed—for the original owner's appearance, it is not an exaggeration to call it a "God-given face".
I have been relying on my strength for nearly twenty years, and now I can suddenly rely on my appearance... I am very excited to think about it.
Ji Li suppressed his true thoughts and asked solemnly, "Team Leader Wang, what about the others? Didn't you say that you will be assigned to shoot small roles?"
"Just be honest, you came so late after notifying you to find a time to come in the afternoon." Wang Qiuhui thought it was funny as he said that, under the offensive of the other party's appearance, he completely lost his previous impatience.
He picked up a thin document on the table and handed it over, "Only this role outline is left, and the other roles have been picked out in advance."
Ji Li was not in a hurry to answer, and looked down at the three key words on the paper: refugees and beggars, pretending to be ugly, and five scenes.
Obviously, it is a role with few roles and hardships.
Because it is the first time for newcomers to test the waters before officially entering the entertainment industry, everyone's performance is unknown, so the company will not arrange heavy drama roles from the beginning.
The people under Wang Qiuhui searched for nearly two months before finding these small characters suitable for filming in the near future.
For the sake of fairness, there are only three keywords for all roles, and the script content will be transmitted in electronic files after the trainees have completed their selections.
As for this beggar role, none of the trainees took it seriously.
Wang Qiuhui took a puff of cigarette silently, stared at Ji Li's expression closely, trying to find out the slightest reluctance from the other party, "This is the only thing left, you don't have to choose if you don't like it."
Unexpectedly, the other party readily responded in the next second, "No, I like it quite a lot. It's good to leave this role to me."
Ji Li has been in the real entertainment industry for so many years, and she has never acted as a 'beggar'. Since I am determined to continue to develop as an actor, of course I want to challenge the ever-changing character.
Moreover, according to his past experience - many seemingly inconspicuous characters will be the most attractive one.
Wang Qiuhui saw that the interest in his eyes didn't seem fake, so he smiled and sighed, "Come on, you really complied with the saying that fools are blessed with fools."
Ji Li didn't understand, so he looked up.
Wang Qiuhui wiped out the smoke, and said bluntly, "Let me tell you the truth, this is a large-scale production film with an investment of nearly 300 million yuan. Something happened to the actor who was originally scheduled to star in it. Our company and the director have a little friendship, so we can temporarily pick up the leak." .Although it is a small role with few roles, but the person who plays with you is a big guy... "
When Ji Li heard these remarks, the interest in his eyes became stronger.
Making a big movie, and playing with a big guy? This wave is not bad at all.
"I'll have someone send you the electronic script later." Wang Qiuhui said.
He is not sure how much Ji Li's acting skills have improved, so he inevitably has some concerns, "Study hard these two days, don't delay too much. If you can't keep this role, I can't save you."
"Gather at six o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and the company will send a car to take you to the film and television shooting base in Hengcheng next door."
"it is good."
Two days later, Hengcheng No. 4 film and television base.
Qin Li stepped down from the RV, aimed at the director's figure in the crowd, and walked straight.
"Teacher Qin."
"Brother Li, good morning."
Passing staff saw him and rushed to say hello. Qin Li has always been unassuming as an actor, so he nodded and responded one by one.
The chief director of the film, Zheng Anxing, saw him and said in surprise, "Why did you come so early? Aren't today's scenes quite late?"
"I can't sleep, so I might as well come to the set early." Qin Li looked around and pulled Zheng Anxing to sit down, "By the way, I have something to ask you."
"Oh?"
"I heard that the role of Song Zhao in the play has been changed? Is he still an idol with no acting experience?" When Qin Li asked, Meifeng twisted unconsciously.
He has always been strict with his own works, not to mention that the role of Song Zhao has several scenes with him.
If an idol who can't act is casually inserted, if he can't catch the opponent's play, it will only affect the overall effect.
Seeing the other party's expression, Zheng Anxing quickly explained, "Qin Li, don't be in a hurry, you were away on leave two days ago, so I don't have time to talk to you."
Qin Li is one of the investors and producers of their movie, and he really needs to explain the situation to him about changing actors temporarily.
"Yue Mingshen had a gastric perforation a few days ago, and the recovery period after the operation was quite long. He won't be able to take it in a short time, and we can't afford to wait for the progress."
"Dream Media heard about the situation, so they recommended a newcomer from the film and television department to me. They have been trained, and they are not some traffic idols."
Zheng Anxing paused, and said in a low voice, "You know, Dream Media made up for it in time when I was withdrawn from the filming of "Journey to Chang'an". Now that they have offered this favor, I can't just shirk it right away? "
Qin Li's brows did not relax, obviously he still had concerns.
"Qin Li, I will not ruin my work for favors." Zheng Anxing's requirements for works are consistent with Qin Li.
He patted the man on the shoulder and assured him, "If the newcomer's acting skills are not good enough, I will definitely replace him."
Having said all this, Qin Li still has to give the other party this face, "Okay, it's up to you. Let the casting director find a candidate in advance, and if it doesn't work, replace it immediately."
Qin Li got up and made clear his attitude, "Even if he is a newcomer, I will not relax my requirements on him."
