The Wen family's long-lost daughter has returned! It’s rumored that the real heiress ranked last in every school exam and even went around deceiving people, promoting feudal superstitions. Ev...
If we're talking about the laziest female celebrity, Wen Li is undoubtedly number one.
Popular celebrities who have entered the entertainment industry are frantically taking on roles and trying out movies.
Audiences are always harsh on female celebrities. Even if they look young, they are always criticized by the audience when they play a slightly younger role. Of course, there is nothing wrong with playing a role according to one's age. However, the audience is unusually tolerant of male celebrities in their thirties and forties who are paired with female celebrities in their early twenties.
However, Wen Li is young, and she doesn't seem to care much about her popularity.
Wen Li's state of mind is rare in the entertainment industry.
But this has been tough on her fans, who are constantly clamoring for more information under her Weibo posts.
However, apart from Zhou Xingyun occasionally posting some beautiful pictures of Wen Li on Wen Li's Weibo, Wen Li hasn't joined any film crews or even shot any commercials for more than half a year.
Fans even thought that Wen Li had retired from the entertainment industry to do archaeology.
After all, Wen Li spends more time on archaeological excavations than on filming.
"Waaaaah, I'm so excited to see Wen Li back on set!"
"My daughter hasn't been on set for a long time. I check her Weibo every day to see what she's up to. Thankfully, she hasn't let us down."
"The studio said there might be another movie shoot later, which instantly gave me motivation."
"I heard that Wen Li has already graduated from A University, which is why she has time to film. But I want to say that as long as you are willing, whether you want to act or do research in the future, we will support you."
"Personally, I still want my daughter to continue acting. Her temperament is truly unique in the entertainment industry. I haven't been able to find a replacement for her in all this time."
"There haven't been any good dramas this year. I've already watched 'The Truth' five or six times. Every time I watch it, I have new insights. I just don't know if Wen Li's campus drama can be outstanding."
"I don't know what's wrong with the studio. Our little pear is very suitable for ancient costumes. Ancient themes are easy to become hits, but she insisted on choosing a campus drama. The last campus drama that became a hit was ten years ago. I just hope this drama doesn't flop."
...
Wen Li and Wen Xingming sat in the nanny van, scrolling through Weibo comments with one hand and holding a steamed bun in the other.
Wen Xingming, who was standing next to her, was holding a glass of fresh milk. After Wen Li took a couple of bites of steamed bun, he thoughtfully handed her a straw, and she could drink it by tilting her head.
Wen Li glanced at Wen Li's comment section and said, "Campus dramas are indeed not easy to become hits, but this script is not bad. As long as the actors perform consistently, it won't flop."
Wen Li wasn't worried; she trusted Zhou Xingyun's judgment.
The car stopped at the entrance of the film set, and soon the director and some child actors came over.
Wen Li's status is different now than before. "The Law of the Forest" made Wen Li's value skyrocket, and "The Truth" still dominates all the dramas this year.
Based on these two works alone, Wen Li's reputation is beyond reproach.
The director's surname is Wang. He has directed several web dramas with decent results, but it's basically impossible for him to invite big names like Wen Xingming and Wen Li. However, he still handed the script to the two's agents with a try-it-out mentality.
Within a few days, Wen Xingming readily agreed.
A few days later, Wen Li's agent replied, and the brother and sister's price was not high, completely within his budget.
Director Wang was waiting at the door early in the morning. As soon as the nanny car door opened, Director Wang greeted him warmly.
With his younger sister around, Wen Xingming didn't dare to act like a big shot. Although he didn't really want to have a "warm chat" with Director Wang, he couldn't help but maintain his image as a good older brother, so he talked until his mouth was dry.
Even after Wen Xingming joined the film crew, Director Wang couldn't help but sigh: Wen Xingming is so easygoing, who said he was acting like a big shot!
Wen Xingming had no idea what the other person was thinking.
After the two joined the crew, a makeup artist came to design their makeup and styling.
The entire production team started preparations six months ago, and various costumes had already been designed. All that was needed was to make minor changes after the actors were in place.
Wen Li is nineteen years old this year. She plays a high school girl who has poor grades but eventually works hard for love and gets into Qingniao University. Wen Xingming is Wen Li's older brother both on and off screen, except that he has changed from the second brother to the eldest brother.
The entire drama revolves around the female lead who lost both parents at a young age. Her older brother worked hard to raise her by dropping out of school, while her younger sister had a childhood sweetheart who treated her very well. The male lead's parents felt sorry for the two siblings and raised them as their own.
The story doesn't have overly melodramatic plots; instead, it fully depicts family bonds, friendships, and the struggles and feelings of teenagers experiencing first love.
Wen Li herself looks young, and although her personality doesn't quite fit the character, she has good acting skills.
Director Wang asked the acting coach to analyze the character for Wen Li, and afterwards the coach praised Wen Li highly in private.
After learning about this, Director Wang became even more confident in his drama.
After five days of makeup and styling work, Wen Li's final look was decided.
In the video, Wen Li is wearing a loose blue school uniform, with a straight and thick student haircut. Her eyebrows are curved, and her smile is as warm as a spring breeze. She looks energetic and full of youthful innocence.
Before the photos were even properly retouched, Director Wang slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "This is the leading lady I wanted!"
Soon, the costume fitting for the campus drama "Chasing the Light" was completed.
Wen Li and Wen Xingming's dressing rooms are next to each other. The male lead is a small actor, but he unexpectedly fits the role perfectly. The second female lead is the popular actress Zheng Yanxi.
When it came to Michelle Cheng, Wen Li didn't know her at first. It was Michelle Cheng who came up to her and became familiar with her. If she hadn't made sure that she didn't know Michelle Cheng, she would have thought that she and Michelle Cheng were good friends.
Zheng Yanxi pulled Wen Li aside to reminisce, telling her a long list of things Wen Li couldn't remember.
Michelle Cheng wasn't angry. Instead, she said, "Our little pear really has a bad memory. The first time we held a press conference together in that exploding building, I also went to support your company's annual meeting last time."
Now that you mention it, Wen Li does have some recollection of it.
In just two meetings, Michelle Cheng acted like she was a good friend she had known for over a decade.
Wen Li didn't understand at first, but when Zheng Yanxi's body was almost pressed against hers, and then she looked at the top floor of the residential building next door, she immediately understood.
Reporters on the top floor had already set up their long lenses and were snapping photos of themselves.
Wen Li doesn't mind if her co-stars try to pair her up with someone or create the illusion of a good friendship, but she hates it when others try to curry favor with her in this way.
Wen Li silently took two steps to the side, creating some distance between herself and Zheng Yanxi, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, I think we've only met twice, so we're probably not that close yet."
"However, we'll be in the same production team soon, so I think we'll gradually get to know each other."
In conclusion: I don't know you, so don't get close to me.
Michelle Cheng's smile froze on her face.
