◎ Crew conflict◎
Netizens all say that Chen Zhi has a "cold constitution". After so many years of debut, he is still an invisible person after his return.
If it weren't for her strong family background and good company resources, she would have no idea about this person.
Chen Zhi would not take such remarks to heart if they were heard once or twice, but after seeing and hearing them so many times, she would occasionally wonder if she was really not suited to acting.
She gave up the olive branch offered by such a good prestigious university abroad and instead applied to film academy. Even now, her father still talks about this matter from time to time. He thinks she has been so outstanding since she was a child and has high hopes for her. He hopes that she can come to help the family company in the future. He didn't expect that she would run into the entertainment industry.
However, although her father often expressed regret and sighed, he still escorted her all the way.
My mother has always been based on her preferences and wishes, and will support her no matter what she does.
And there is her uneducated younger brother, who is a bit of a dandy, but as long as she suffers the slightest injustice, he will immediately show his sharp claws and charge for her.
So what Jiang Ninglu asked her before was correct. She had been smooth sailing since she was a child. Even in the entertainment industry, which was glamorous on the surface but full of filth, she had no problems moving forward.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this smoothness that the dreams and career she thought she was pursuing were in stark contrast to what she expected.
Chen Zhi lowered his eyes, not knowing how to reply to the message in the group.
There was a constant beeping sound in the group.
Jiang Lingxue: [What about your brother? Isn't he the first to suppress negative comments about you online whenever he sees them?]
Before Shen Zhi could reply, her cousin Shen Shanni said, "That guy is busy starting his own business lately, so he probably won't be able to take care of it."
Jiang Lingxue made a face that looked like she was covering her head: [What's wrong with you two siblings? You two have such a huge family business and you both just leave it alone. I don't understand.]
Shen Shanni: [I think your new drama is going to fail again. Come back as soon as you finish filming. You are not cut out for the entertainment industry.]
Jiang Lingxue: [Shanni, don't say that. How can you say it's going to flop before it even airs? Who knows, maybe the performance won't be as bad as we thought.]
[Zhizhi, don't worry about it. Just focus on filming. When the show airs, tell us and we'll help boost your views.]
Chen Zhi looked at the message. It was clearly words of comfort to her, but it made her feel uncomfortable no matter how she listened to it.
She could try to ignore the doubts from netizens, but she still felt hurt and sad when she heard the doubts from her friends and relatives who she had grown up with.
Chen Zhi finally replied with a reluctant thank you, put down his phone, and planned to block out these voices.
Jiang Lingxue was a little embarrassed.
Seeing Jiang Ninglu enjoying so much these days, her original plan to absorb negative energy from her failed again. She couldn't help feeling a little unbalanced and irritable, and even her best friend who was about to join the group with Jiang Ninglu became displeased.
Like Su Baiwei, Jiang Lingxue also didn't understand why Jiang Ninglu was so lucky. She had created so much public pressure behind the "trash can incident". No other artist would have gotten through it safely, but Jiang Ninglu got away with it perfectly.
However, how could it be such a coincidence that four men's houses collapsed one after another at the same time?
Jiang Lingxue began to wonder in her heart.
While netizens have no expectations for Director Zheng and his upcoming web short drama "Secret Paradise", another sweet campus drama "Summer's Glimmer" that is being released at the same time has attracted a lot of attention.
As the comeback work of Xia He, the originator of youth novel writing, who returned to the novel circle after years of hiatus, this novel has attracted much attention at every step from the draft to the film and television adaptation.
What’s even more interesting is that both dramas are produced by Guangyu Pictures, and the directors of “Midsummer” Yang Pengfei and Zheng Duo were college classmates back then.
Unlike Zheng Duo who has been on the decline in recent years, the once unknown Yang Pengfei has recently soared to fame thanks to several sweet pet dramas and ancient idol dramas adapted from big IPs. Just like his name, Dapeng is soaring into the sky and has great momentum. He is now a popular commercial director in the circle.
After the injection of new capital, Guangyu Pictures no longer stuck to the old production model as before, but began to learn to cater to market trends appropriately. It purchased the copyright of Xia He's new book early and handed it over to Yang Pengfei, who was mature in business tactics.
The entire project team has high expectations for this major IP and is rating it as a potential future hit.
Therefore, this is why netizens are so pessimistic about Zheng Duo and think that his new drama will definitely fail.
One is a former acclaimed film director who switched to online short dramas and is going down the mountain.
One is a director who has formed his own unique IP adaptation model and is favored by capital.
It is clear at a glance who is superior and who is inferior.
…
"I'm so angry! How can these people be like this? They haven't even started filming yet and they're already looking down on us and saying bad things about us!"
Assistant director Wen Liang angrily read the online comments, feeling unfair for their badmouthing of him.
Zheng Duo had no expression on his face, and looked like he didn't care much, but his dimmed eyes still revealed the fact that he was depressed inside.
This drama is not only a stepping out of his comfort zone to seek new attempts and breakthroughs, but also a last-ditch effort.
If he doesn't make any more splashes, he doesn't know if he can continue in this industry.
Perhaps the classics of the past were just a flash of inspiration, a short-lived phenomenon.
He has no talent for directing.
Jiang Ninglu asked for leave from "The Gathering Under the Clouds" before joining the crew. Although it was a short drama with a short shooting period and the shooting location was also in Beijing, she still decided to devote herself to the crew.
Xiao Ruan sent her to the crew and also acted as her assistant to help her deal with some trivial matters.
Jiang Ninglu: "Actually, I can do it myself."
Xiao Ruan: "That won't work. We need to have what other artists have. Anyway, I only have you as an artist now, and I don't have anything else to do."
Jiang Ninglu: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The two came to the filming location, which was a particularly beautiful high school in the suburbs of Beijing - Chengning Middle School.
This high school is very famous. Not only does the school have high teaching quality, its admission rate is among the best in the whole Beijing. Its beautiful campus environment has made it selected as one of the top ten most beautiful campuses in the country many times. It is the dream high school for many students.
The school was originally not open to film crews for filming, but because Mr. Du, the head of Guangyu, had some connections with the school leaders, an exception was made.
Mr. Du repeatedly reminded Zheng Duo: "We invested the money and selected the best venue for you. Don't let me down."
So in fact, Zheng Duo is under a lot of pressure.
Chen Zhi saw Jiang Ninglu and walked towards her to say hello.
"Ninglu, thank you so much for last time. And..." She paused, looking a little embarrassed, "I shouldn't have said that to you when we first met. I'm sorry. I apologize."
"What did you say?" Jiang Ninglu blinked, looking confused. "I don't remember."
"Really?" Chen Zhi smiled, "Then let's work together well from now on."
Jiang Ninglu nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Ruan quietly tugged at the corner of Jiang Ninglu's clothes: "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
As far as she knows, Chen Zhi has a pretty good reputation in the circle and is a very humble person. Is this also a character setting?
Jiang Ninglu patted her head helplessly: "You, your gossiping habit is back again. Nothing happened between us."
Xiao Ruan pouted: "Oh."
All the preparations for filming were completed, and the entire crew held the opening ceremony as usual.
Director Zheng was under great pressure, but he was still very pious during the opening ceremony. Everyone hoped that the subsequent filming would go smoothly.
But things went against their wishes and they encountered a conflict on the first day of filming.
The already confirmed venue was occupied by another crew. The conflicting party was none other than Zheng Duo's classmate, Yang Pengfei, the director of the recently highly anticipated hit IP adaptation drama "Summer's Glow".
