Ji Li was a little surprised, "Play in Teacher Shen's new play?"

He didn't expect that before they mentioned their willingness to participate in the TV series, Shen Yanda said this first.

"Otherwise, I came all the way here just to drink a cup of coffee from your boss Tao?" Shen Yanda pushed his glasses and looked at Tao Mingyang again.

After a short pause, Tao Mingyang smiled and motioned Shen Yanda to take his seat again, teasing, "Don't worry, we have enough coffee here."

"You, you are still so poor-mouthed." Shen Yanda sat down with a smile.

He took out a stack of bound documents from his handbag and placed them on the table.

Shen Yanda crossed his legs, looking calm and leisurely like a boss, "This is the biography of the characters in the new drama "Long Song of the Southern Dynasty", can you take a look?"

Yu Fuya took two steps forward and took the initiative to win the biography for Ji Li, "Brother Da, why did you think of our Ji Li?"

She was really curious, although the scripts written by Shen Yanda had always favored female stars, but the male characters were also sought after by many people.

What's more, he is still number one.

The rumors in the industry have never been settled, and this good thing suddenly fell on Ji Li's head

"You may not be clear, this new script is not the main line of the traditional Gongdou in the past, this time the main line involves the strategy of the court, and Gongdou is regarded as a secondary line by me."

"The lead actor I need should not only match the age of the characters, but also have enough hard acting skills. It is easy to become popular with my script, but the audience these days are not fools..."

Shen Yanda was very confident in his own script and smiled lowly.

"If you want to forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. You say, is this the truth?"

Ji Li met his gaze, and felt a subtle resistance in his heart. He didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Yanda curled his lips in satisfaction.

Before coming, he and the production team had scouted many young male actors. Either the appearance does not meet the needs of the characters, or the acting skills are young and cannot afford the image of the hero.

After the finale of "Da Zong Juvenile Conspiracy", the character Xie Yan has been the hottest character for the longest time.

Fans of the show piled up their feelings, almost turning into resentment, and there was even a spontaneous hot search topic#What would happen if Xie Yan was born again? #

A netizen writer specially wrote a 30,000-word short story on this topic—Xie Yan's "Rebirth" rebirth article in which he returned to his childhood, changed his destiny step by step, and planned to seize power.

This post has received nearly a million likes.

It was this opportunity that made Shen Yanda's team notice Ji Li.

Shen Yanda personally watched the clips of Ji Li's TV drama performance, and thought that his appearance and acting skills were good, so he found it in person in his spare time.

"Why don't you go back and have a look first? If you are interested in my script, we can discuss it in detail in two days."

A hint of deep meaning flashed across Shen Yanda's eyes, and he issued the "Exit Order" against the customer, "I still have something to do, and I want to talk to Ming Yang alone."

Yu Fuya is a judge of the situation, she cast a veiled look at Tao Mingyang, and then she smiled again, "Of course, then Ji Li and I will not bother you for now."

"Goodbye, Mr. Shen." Ji Li got up, said goodbye and followed the former out of the room quickly.

The two returned to the lounge.

Ji Li looked at the thick biography of the character in his hand, and was always a little confused, "Sister Yu, do you think Mr. Shen appointed me to play the role, or is it just a formality?"

Such a powerful screenwriter in the industry, the new work after five years, the male lead has been undecided, and the biography of the character suddenly fell on him

"Don't guess the boss's psychology." Yu Fuya shrugged, and sat down opposite him, "Anyway, since you have the biography of the character, you should enjoy your eyes first."

After all, no matter how good the script is, it should be the choice of both parties.

"If you really like it, the company and I will help you reconfirm and fight for the opportunity to act." Yu Fuya had her own considerations.

She selfishly wants the young man to rest for a month or two, but if Shen Yanda brings a good script and a good opportunity, for a rising actor like Ji Li, he must not miss it.

With the same thought in mind, Ji Li nodded, "Well, let me take a look first."

Shen Yanda is worthy of being a big screenwriter, and the character biography is very complete, covering all the important characters that will appear in the script.

Because of work, Ji Li has read hundreds of scripts, and he may have glimpsed the exciting content from the biographies of the characters. The "Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" in his hand is really the only one.

Ji Li sketched out the plot in his mind while biographying the characters, and gradually began to enjoy it——

The TV series "Long Songs of the Southern Dynasties" is indeed not the pure palace fighting theme that Shen Yanda used to write in the past, but tells the life experience of a generation of subjugated prince He Linzhao.

After the fall of the Southern Dynasty, the sixth son of the first emperor escaped the execution by feigning death. With the help of the imperial physician of the Southern Dynasty, he changed his appearance and hibernated for eight years incognito.

Until the end of the eight-year war, the name of the country was changed to Hui Dynasty, and the new emperor ascended the throne.

The beginning of the story begins here.

After He Linzhao came out of the mountains, he gained fame and entered the imperial court with a brand new identity. He assassinated the enemy step by step, gathered his confidants, and finally destroyed the Hui Dynasty and re-established the epic legend of the Southern Dynasty.

From the perspective of character biography, this drama should be a well-deserved leading male drama.

However, another branch of the harem battle in the TV series is also very exciting.

After the establishment of the Hui Dynasty, the harem began to recruit eunuchs and maids in large numbers.

Yuche, who was only fifteen years old, chose this opportunity to enter the palace. She started as a laundry maid at the bottom, and within three months she became the personal maid of the new emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Li.

Later, Yuche caught the eyes of the new emperor with the feast of lanterns in the harem, turned from a slave to a master, and since then, she has started her way of counterattack.

There is no doubt that it is Gongdou Shuangwen's routine.

And the most ingenious thing about this character design is that Yuche has never loved the new emperor from the beginning, and everything she does has a substantive purpose.

Yuche is crazy and ambitious.

She wants to become a queen or even empress dowager, and let Hui Chao change back to He's surname in her hands.

That's right, Yuche has another identity - she is the tenth princess of the Southern Dynasty and He Linzhao's own sister.

The brother and sister thought each other that they had lost their relatives, and with the same hatred of destroying the country, they tried to defeat the new dynasty in their own ways.

According to this form, the follow-up plot will definitely be indispensable for the two brothers and sisters to join hands, and the court and the harem will control together.

There are pleasant counterattacks and slaps in the face, as well as intricate family and country feelings.

In the current market, as long as the content written by Shen Yanda does not make major mistakes, it will definitely become a hit drama.

The sense of anticipation in Ji Li's heart was soaring, and it took him more than half an hour to read the rest of the character settings.

I have to say that the setting of other supporting roles is also very comprehensive, making it impossible to find fault.

Ji Li let out a long sigh of relief, and put down the biography without further ado. He suddenly looked forward to the true face of this script.

Yu Fuya could tell the answer from his expression, and asked with a smile, "Are you interested?"

"En." Ji Li replied sincerely.

Before the two could communicate further, Yu Fuya received a call from Tao Mingyang.

She quickly connected to the phone, and after a rough chat, her eyes became serious.

Ji Li noticed the change in her expression and became concerned silently.

At the end of the short call, Yu Fuya met the young man's silent questioning gaze, and said straight to the point.

"Just after we left, screenwriter Shen Yanda told Lao Tao that if you are interested after reading the biography of the character, you can skip the casting audition, and the two parties will directly sign the actor contract."

"But he has two demands."

"what?"

"The show's salary is very low, and the salary figure that Ming Yang told me is not even comparable to that of ordinary artists who have just debuted."

Yu Fuya frowned, without saying a word of nonsense.

"And during the shooting process, we can't put forward any shooting opinions about the script."

In other words, whatever the original script is, what kind of plot must be filmed.

Ji Li was silent for a few seconds, but he did not resist the latter condition in his heart.

After all, these days many actors will bring their own screenwriters into the group, adding plays to one side, changing plays to the other side, playing around, and finally breaking away from the essence of the script.

Shen Yanda, as a well-known screenwriter with independent power, does not want to be messed up by actors who have too many things to mess up the script and ruin the screenwriter's brand. This is understandable.

"It's just that the salary is really too low..." Yu Fuya was puzzled.

According to the market situation in the industry, Shen Yanda's script definitely has no shortage of investors, even high-value investment.

Chaoying Company's asking price for Ji Li's film salary has always been at a normal level, and it is by no means a sky-high asking price. Why are Shen Yanda and the producer so picky about the male lead's film salary

"Sister Yu, can you find a way to get the complete script for me?" Ji Li asked.

At the same time, he thought clearly, "As long as the logic of the script is online, it doesn't matter how much the film is paid. After all, what we want is the popularity after the broadcast."

As long as the popularity of the TV series keeps up, the popularity of the actors will naturally not be bad. By then, Ji Li's commercial value and film and television value will still rise.

Remuneration is very important for actors, but one should not only focus on immediate interests and forget about long-term considerations.

Yu Fuya has been an agent for so many years, so she naturally thinks more thoroughly than Ji Li in these aspects.

She nodded and analyzed, "I'm afraid, screenwriter Shen and the producer will not easily hand over the complete script."

After all, actors don't sign formal contracts and rarely get to see the full script.

In the event of resource leakage before filming starts, it will be a serious commercial loss.

After Ji Li thought for a while, Wen Sheng suggested, "Sister Yu, you can discuss it with the producer. Let's first draw up a preliminary contract for cooperation, and sign a non-disclosure agreement on prohibiting the script from being leaked."

Ji Li does not deny the excellence of the biography, but the subtle intuition in his heart tells him that he must treat this script with extreme caution.

"The remuneration is a minor issue, I can accept without changing the script, but before I officially sign, I must see the full script."

The young man's words were very firm, apparently he had thought it through very clearly.

Yu Fuya seriously agreed, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter. We are at a disadvantage in terms of salary and script decision-making. It is right to think carefully about the script."

It's better to draw up a preliminary cooperation intention first, in case something happens at that time, they can have a legitimate reason to retreat.

"Thank you, Miss Yu."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Yu Fuya rejected him, with concern in her voice, "If I didn't value the golden brand of Shen Yanda as a screenwriter, I really want you to take a good rest for two months."

Ji Li replied with a smile, "I'm young and can handle it, career is important."

When Yu Fuya heard this, her incongruous worry in the past immediately disappeared.

She just said, how could Ji Li have an emotional relationship with Qin Li

This kid is clearly devoting himself to his career!

Half a month later, the complete script of "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty" was delivered to Ji Li.

Ji Li was at home with peace of mind, and it took three or four days to finish reading the content of the fifty episodes of the script, and most of the worries that had accumulated in his heart dissipated.

The plot of the main plot is more exciting than the biography of the characters.

It is said that a high-quality script is the core soul of a film and television work, and Ji Li deeply agrees.

Under the general environment of IP changes in the film and television industry, Shen Yanda can still produce such high-quality original scripts, which shows how profound his screenwriting skills are.

There was the sound of the door opening.

Baozi carried a lot of food and went straight in, "Brother Ji, here I come! Sister Yu was worried that you would concentrate on reading the script at home and forget to eat, so she asked me to watch you."

Ji Li smiled when he saw his assistant for a long time, "Is the paid vacation comfortable?"

Since the filming of the last movie, Baozi has taken half a month of annual leave.

He has a college friend who is getting married in another place, and while running to attend the wedding banquet, he also wants to travel for a few days by the way.

Ji Li agreed to this matter very freely.

"Of course it's comfortable." Baozi was refreshed, and he placed the food he brought on the table one by one.

"Brother Ji, except for the drier climate in the Northwest area, the humanities and scenery are all good! I even brought you some special products..."

Ji Li patiently listened to his thoughts, and ate his lunch leisurely.

Baozi sat next to him, "Sister Yu asked me to tell you that the production team will finish the banquet the day after tomorrow, and the driver Uncle Chen will come back downstairs to pick you up. She has something to do for the time being."

"it is good."

The steamed stuffed bun had already been eaten before he arrived, and he glanced at the script on the table out of the corner of his eye, and asked impatiently, "Brother Ji, can I read this new script?"

"Well, let's see." Ji Li trusted his assistant, and he was not afraid of him taking the script outside and talking nonsense.

With his consent, Baozi excitedly picked up the script and started to read it.

Ji Li didn't announce this afternoon, and there was no need to rush to eat.

He ate slowly for a while, but suddenly he heard Baozi open his mouth, "That's not right, Brother Ji."

"What's wrong?" Ji Li raised his eyes, and saw that the other party was worrying while holding the script.

"I've seen the content about the hero's achievement in the exam. Isn't there a plot of a dude who spends money to buy an official position, and then gets slapped in the face by He Linzhao?"

Ji Li remembered such a scene, and nodded, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this plot seems familiar?" Baozi muttered in a low voice, with a hesitant look on his face.

He remembered that the script was written by Shen Yanda, and immediately retracted this sentence, "I should have misremembered it. After all, the plot content of obtaining fame in ancient times was quite common."

Ji Li frowned, even thinking about eating.

After about five or six minutes, Baozi once again took a breath in an unbelievable way, and his eyes at the script became more entangled.

Ji Li's mind froze, and he asked directly, "Do you think the plot is familiar again?"

"... It's not similar, it can be said to be exactly the same. I saw it in a novel before, and even the dialogue lines are very similar."

But when sooner or later is uncertain.

Baozi rolled his Adam's apple nervously, and said cautiously.

Who is Shen Yanda

The original Gongdou theme in the TV drama circle, is the latest masterpiece after five years similar to an online novel? If you say this, you will definitely feel that he is talking nonsense.

Ji Li put on a serious expression, and said seriously, "Baozi, there are some things you can't talk nonsense about."

"Brother Ji, I know." Baozi pursed his lips and asked again, "Have you signed a filming contract with the producer?"

"It hasn't been formally signed yet." Ji Li replied.

He stared at the script clutched in Baozi's hand, and the caution in his heart resurfaced.

He knew Baozi's character, and the other party would not make fun of this content.

"Brother Ji?" Baozi was a little apprehensive. Are you talking too much and saying the wrong thing

Ji Li was silent for a long time, and then he looked at Baozi Dingding and said, "Baozi, I have something to do for you."

Two days later, St. Linkai Hotel.

As soon as Ji Li stepped into the banquet hall, Yuan Jifei and Ji Yunqi, who were waiting at the door early, took him over.

Although they haven't seen each other for a while, the three of them can chat a few words on WeChat all day long, and the relationship has not weakened.

Ji Yunqi pretended to be dissatisfied, "I didn't say that, you came too late, right? Feifei and I were almost like stone statues waiting at the entrance of the banquet hall."

Yuan Jifei smiled and handed the champagne he had prepared to the young man, "Your hair grows fast?"

"Don't pull your hair, talk about business." Ji Yunqi glanced at Yuan Jifei, and whispered, "Ji Li, we have something important to discuss with you."

Ji Li didn't understand, so, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Jifei hooked the young man's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Let's join hands tonight and find a way to get Qin Li drunk."

Ji Yunqi stood on the side, looking forward to nodding.

Qin Li's drinking capacity is notoriously good, and he has never seen him get drunk and lose his temper.

Just now, they and Yao Chuan made a secret bet—

If they can pour Qin Li down tonight and still stand clearly, the latter will give them a super big red envelope.

"Forget it, I won't fool around with you as long as you pour three glasses of wine." Ji Li vetoed it without thinking.

This bet looks like the word 'lose' in capital letters and bold.

Ji Yunqi patted him on the shoulder, "Are you still my brother? In the past few months of filming, hasn't Mr. Qin Li brought me enough 'destruction'? Just treat him as a help for me."

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded from behind, "What are you three talking about at the door?"

Ji Yunqi habitually stood up sharply, and immediately became bored.

"It's nothing." Yuan Jifei covered his lips, and gave Ji Li a look of "If you are a brother, you get the money".

He looked at Qin Li who came suddenly, showing a fake smile, "We go in first, you guys talk."

Seeing this, Ji Yunqi ran away quickly.

That's it

Also teamed up to get Qin Li drunk

Who gave you the courage to bet with Yao Chuan

Ji Li watched his friends slip away dumbfounded, so he had no choice but to turn around and say hello to the man behind him.

"Brother Li, long time no see."

"It's been twenty-six days. It's been a long time." Qin Li curled his lips.

Obviously listening to the tone with little ups and downs, it was like a strong wind blowing into people's hearts.

When Ji Li heard the specific number, his throat tightened unconsciously, "Brother Li, shall we go in?"

"it is good."

The two walked side by side, and Qin Li took the initiative to bring up the topic again, "Did you find a suitable script?"

"I found a script for a TV series, but it hasn't been finalized yet." Ji Li briefly mentioned it.

Qin Li nodded, and didn't ask any further questions about the young man's undecided work.

When the two walked to the main table, they received unanimous welcome from Yao Chuan and others.

As a director, Yao Chuan took the initiative to take the stage and delivered a few simple speeches at the closing ceremony, "I am here to thank all the main creators and behind-the-scenes staff for their hard work over the past four months."

"This is my first step into the film industry, and it's a brand new beginning."

"Yao doesn't ask too much. I hope that after the film is released, all of us can gather here and have another celebration banquet!"

A staff member shouted excitedly, "Fuck it 10 billion! I wish the box office a big hit!"

"it is good!"

"I wish the box office a big hit!"

The echoes one after another immediately ignited the warm atmosphere of the finale banquet.

Yuan Jifei and Ji Yunqi exchanged glances, and took the opportunity to encourage Qin Li, who was at the same table.

"Qin Li, you're a film producer, so it's inappropriate not to drink today, right? How should I put it, each of us has to have a drink with you!"

Qin Li's eyes swept over the two of them, with a sharp insight into everything, "Drink with me?"

Ji Yunqi was stunned by his gaze, and immediately threw the topic to his friend, "Yes, Ji Li, what do you think?"

Ji Li received his help-seeking sight, so he had no choice but to raise his glass, and took the lead, "Brother Li, thank you for giving me the opportunity to act in the movie."

"it is good."

Qin Li understood, a smile flickered in his eyes, and he clinked his glass and drank it.

Once this toasting starts, it is difficult to stop.

Qin Li, who has always been restrained, unexpectedly cooperated today, and he almost refused all comers, drinking the wine one cup after another.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Yuan Jifei and Ji Yunqi fell down together again, and Yao Chuan, who was blushing drunk, laughed happily beside him, "It's just these two guys who drink too little, and they still want to take red envelopes from me?"

Qin Li laughed lowly, his voice was rarely drunk. He rubbed his swollen temples and didn't say much.

Ji Li noticed his strangeness, and was a little worried, "Brother Li, are you okay? Do you want the assistant to take you back first?"

"I'm fine."

Qin Li looked over, his eyes that were always clear and bright were tinged with drunkenness, "You continue to chat with everyone, there is a rest room next to the banquet hall, I'll go and lie down for a while."

Ji Li watched him enter the rest room in the side hall, frowned, looked around, and shouted, "Baozi."

Baozi was chatting happily with the staff at the same table, when he heard the shout, he immediately turned his head, "Brother Ji, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen Qin Li's life assistant?"

"No, brother Xiaoyang didn't seem to be here?" Baozi answered casually.

not coming

As Qin Li's movie king, this assistant is not around, in case something happens after drinking...

When Ji Li thought of this possibility, he immediately regretted it. After all, he shouldn't be fooling around with Ji Yunqi and Yuan Jifei.

Ji Li couldn't sit still anymore, he found the waiter in the hotel, and quickly asked for a glass of warm water and hangover medicine, and then followed Qin Li's trajectory to the rest room in the side hall.

He knocked on the door, "Brother Li, can I come in?"

There is no response inside.

Ji Li hesitated for a moment, and simply pushed the door open to enter. Unexpectedly, the moment he entered, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

The cup dropped on the carpet.

click.

The door to the living room was quickly shut.

Before Ji Li could react, he was pushed against the door forcefully but gently.

The unique smell of Qin Li came, and there was a bit of alcohol in it, which was not offensive.

Qin Li pressed against his ear, and the sound of his breath was warm and hurried, and the tingling sensation went straight to Ji Li's heart.

"You delivered this to your door yourself."
