Chapter 416 Internal Struggle
I don’t know if it was due to the status of “girlfriend’s best friend” or the stimulation of time pressure, but this battle ended very quickly.
When Li Yitong came back, she only saw Jin Chen rinsing his mouth with a cup of water, and Meng Bai who was far away.
“Hey, Daxi, you woke up so early?” Li Yitong smiled and greeted.
Jin Chen’s expression was a little strange, with a mouthful of water in his mouth, as if he wanted to spit it out but held it back. Looking at Li Yitong in front of her, she paused for a second, swallowed the water in her mouth, and then responded vaguely. Fortunately,
Li Yitong was still a little dazed by the hangover at this time, so she didn’t notice her abnormality.
Meng Bai, who was sitting on the sofa far away, saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile. But then he saw Li Yitong coming towards him, and he said again: "Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"
"Forget it, I'm awake now, just wait until noon to rest."
Li Yitong sat next to Meng Bai. Usually at this time, she would go directly into Meng Bai's arms. But now in front of her bestie, she couldn't show off her affection too much.
"Okay, anyway, it's finished." Meng Bai said: "The "Wonderful Girl" we talked about last night should not start shooting until April or May, just in time for a break."
"Yeah, I can finally rest." Li Yitong sighed.
As part of the "Zijin Chen Trilogy", the volume of "Undocumented Crime" is actually much smaller than the other two. There is no complicated background, and the theme is not very profound. It is just a relatively pure suspense story.
But for Li Yitong, this is the most difficult drama she has ever starred in.
The character of Zhu Huiru has a very complicated identity. She has no parents since she was a child and was raised by her gangster brother. Later, in order to raise money for her brother's medical treatment, she became the lover of the boss. After the boss died, she was threatened by her sister-in-law to return the money she had collected over the years.
Later, she accidentally killed a gangster brother in self-defense and was rescued by the mysterious uncle "Luo Wen". In order not to be caught, she tried to maintain one lie after another. The boyfriend who was her spiritual pillar was still a scumbag.
It can be said that the further the plot goes, the more emotions are superimposed on the character of "Zhu Huiru". If you want to fully show the character, you have to show the characteristics of each layer.
Meng Bai also knew that this role was a bit difficult for Li Yitong, so he specially found a few powerful actors to lead her.
One is Qin Hao, who plays the protagonist "Yan Liang". According to the background of the trilogy, this role can be regarded as the grown-up appearance of the "young Yan Liang" in "The Hidden Corner".
It is also for this reason that he specially pulled Qin Hao, who played "mountain climbing expert Zhang Dongsheng" in the previous part, to continue playing "Yan Liang" in this part.
Of course, Meng Bai also assured this brother that this role is definitely a positive character, and he is also a father with children, which can be regarded as a return to the pit of the previous "The Undocumented Crime".
As for another equally important role, it can even be said that the invisible male protagonist "Luo Wen" in the play "The Undocumented Crime" was also handed over to Zhang Songwen who had participated in the previous film.
In addition, there is Ning Li, who has appeared in "Hello, Old Times" and "The Undocumented Corner", playing the real villain Li Toyota who is "cruel and taciturn" and "keen on reverse smoking".
Among the three people, Qin Hao is naturally the most popular. But the acting skills of the other two are actually not inferior to him.
The plot of "The Undocumented Crime" is simple, but it also gives the actors the opportunity to play. Li Yitong was sandwiched between three powerful actors. She had to watch them compete in the play while listening to their instructions honestly. The pressure was not ordinary.
But she also knew that such an opportunity was rare, and the three of them took such pains to teach her out of Meng Bai's consideration, so she was also studying very seriously while filming.
The price of doing so is that it is very energy-consuming. She was always very tense during the time on the crew.
Before, Li Yitong traveled all the way back to Beijing during the Spring Festival, not only to accompany Meng Bai for the New Year, but also to "recharge" herself. With this breath of relief, she persisted until the end of the filming.
But the effect is very obvious, even she can feel that her performance in this drama is obviously much better than before.
Give her some time to digest and absorb it, and her acting skills will definitely be taken to the next level.
"Are you going out today?" Meng Bai asked.
"I went to the company with Daxi this morning to prepare for the signing."
"Ah?" Meng Bai looked at Jin Chen who had just walked over, "You also want to sign with Taiyang Chuanhe?"
Jin Chen's mood had returned to normal at this time. Hearing Meng Bai's question, he laughed and said, "Why, does Teacher Meng look down on me?"
"That's not the case." Meng Bai shook his head, "Of course I welcome you, but it's just that at this time recently... forget it, it's nothing to you."
Li Yitong heard that his tone was a bit strange, and asked curiously, "Why, is there any problem with the company recently?"
"How should I put it..." Meng Bai said, "There is some internal competition for resources, but it has nothing to do with us."
The cause of the incident came from Wang Ziwen, who was just signed by Taiyang Chuanhe last year.
Because of the popularity of the role of "Qu Xiaoxiao" in "Ode to Joy", Wang Ziwen also became popular again. After being signed by Yang Ming, he also valued her very much. He specially dug up Chen Pu, the former agent of Ni Ni, to take charge of her, and gave her a lot of business and fashion resources, obviously treating her as the new "trump card".
Before this, Yang Tianbao was always the number one sister of Taiyang Chuanhe. As one of the shareholders of the company, she also has the background of Huang Xiaoming, so her position should be very stable.
But she has not had an easy time in the past two years. First, she was mocked by the audience for winning the "Hundred Flowers Best Actress". Then, her cutout performance and sky-high salary in "The Princess Weiyoung" made her popularity plummet to the bottom.
In addition, she had to temporarily leave the most important "Running Man" because of her pregnancy last year. Most of her popularity was taken away by Reba, who replaced her, causing her only popularity to drop a lot.
In fact, at the beginning, Yang Tianbao didn't care much about these. What's the point of being an actor? After working hard to film a movie, you have to be scolded by the audience. How can it be as comfortable as being a capitalist?
And looking at the actresses of the same generation, Yang Mi, who had played for a while before, the newly rising Zhao Liying, and the silent Liu Shishi, have almost all turned over to become capitalists, so she naturally doesn't want to fall behind.
I just didn’t expect that the winter of film and television would come at this time.
If she wants to continue playing with capital, her biggest backer Huang Xiaoming was fined a large sum of money last year because of an incident with his old classmate. Now is a sensitive time. If she wants to withdraw and continue to be an artist, her popularity among passers-by has almost collapsed.
Of course, she still has popularity and fans. If she is willing to lower her pay and requirements, she can still continue to mix.
But as the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. She used to be a top star, with various high-end luxury spokespersons, and top resources at her fingertips. How can she lower her requirements now?
Top resources are limited. If one company eats, another company will spit it out.
The path of an actor is blocked. The only thing Yang Tianbao can rely on is fashion resources. But many of these resources have been handed over to Wang Ziwen before.
On the other hand, Wang Ziwen, who is less well-known, is also not a good person. This guy dared to get together with a big boss in the Beijing circle who is more than 20 years older than him when he just became an adult. He has a very strong personality. How could he give up the resources he just got?
As a result, the two began to compete with each other internally.
"So it's so complicated here!" Jin Chen sighed.
"Where there are people, there is competition. Recently, everyone's life has not been easy, so naturally there are fierce quarrels." Meng Bai said as if it was commonplace.
Jin Chen nodded. Yes, it was her old employer Tangren. Although the external image has always been "humane", in fact, the internal resource quarrels are no worse than those outside.
Thinking of this, she became a little worried again: "Then is it appropriate for me to go in now?"
"What does the fight between the gods up there have to do with you, a little Zuanfeng?" Meng Bai said without hesitation.
"I..."
Jin Chen was choked and subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, she felt that there seemed to be no problem. Compared with those top artists, she is just a "little Zuanfeng" now.
Meng Bai didn't care about her expression and continued, "Besides, you were introduced by Boss Li, so you are my person. In the company, our Arc Light Department has its own sphere of influence and doesn't get involved in their affairs."
When Jin Chen heard Meng Bai's words "my people", he was subconsciously startled and hurriedly glanced at Li Yitong. Seeing that she didn't react, he felt that he was a little nervous. Then he heard the following introduction, and he was relieved.
She actually had a lot of things to do today. In addition to signing a contract at Taiyang Chuanhe, she also had to find a suitable residence. Because of her previous company, she had always lived in Shanghu. Now that she changed companies, she naturally moved to Beijing North.
"Why, don't you plan to stay for a few more days?" Meng Bai said.
Jin Chen glanced at Li Yitong not far away, glanced at him with a rolling eye, and said meaningfully: "I've moved out, won't it be more convenient for you, Teacher Meng, next time?"
"Then what's the point." Meng Bai sighed.
Jin Chen blushed. These words reminded her of the exciting scene in the morning, and the strange taste seemed to emerge in her mouth again.
"I didn't expect that Teacher Meng likes this kind of tune." Jin Chen stretched out her finger and tapped Meng Bai's chest. "It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future."
Meng Bai glanced at the expression on Jin Chen's face, chuckled, and then directly grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of her in a slightly flustered expression.
"Whether there is a chance depends on me, not on you. Do you understand, Daxi classmate?"
"..."
Jin Chen was suppressed by his momentum. She was a little dazed for a while and could only nod subconsciously.
"Very good." Meng Bai smiled and patted Jin Chen's head.
He didn't mean to pretend to be cool, but to establish the initiative.
Just kidding, as a senior sea king, how can you be raised by others when it is only our President Meng who raises other people's fish.
But what Jin Chen said just now is not wrong. There will be many opportunities in the future, and he has plenty of time to play slowly.
...
Li Yitong's return to Jingbei also represents the completion of "The Undocumented Crime". As a result, the preparations for the third part of the "trilogy", "The Silent Truth", will also be put on the agenda.
Compared with the previous two parts, the plot background of "The Silent Truth" is heavier and darker, which can be seen from the name of the original work "The Long Night".
[Jiang Yang, a prosecutor who once had a bright future, was sentenced to three years in prison for corruption and bribery. When he appeared in front of the public again, he had become a corpse in a suitcase. The person
who transported his body was a lawyer Zhang Chao, who was also Jiang Yang's good friend. When he passed the subway security check, he was undoubtedly stopped by security personnel.
When the police Yan Liang arrived at the scene, Zhang Chao confessed his guilt without resistance and admitted his crime. However, after the formal trial, he completely overturned his previous confession and produced a perfect alibi...]
If you only look at this opening, anyone will think it is a suspense story of "criminal investigation reasoning". But only when you watch it, you will find that this is a group of people who have spent more than ten years, paying the price of youth, career, reputation, future, family and even life, and finally sought the truth.
The male lead Jiang Yang had already been booked as Bai Yu, and the female lead "Li Xue" was also given to Li Qin. As for the other roles, they will all be selected through auditions later.
When filming "The Undocumented Crime" before, Arc Light used a lot of actors from "The Bad Kids", but this time they don't plan to continue doing so.
Compared to the previous two films, "The Silent Truth" has a wider span and the plots are not very relevant. In addition, Qin Hao and the others didn't want to keep filming this series, so they didn't let them continue.
