66 Chapter 66
◎Hook◎
The big boss played by Zhang Li is very decisive, but because of his strong personality, he puts pressure on his subordinates around him, so he is called the "big devil" behind his back.
When the crew first started filming, some actors hadn't found their rhythm yet, so the director simply moved Zhang Li's role before theirs.
However, the director couldn't guarantee whether Zhang Li could portray the temperament of a "big villain".
With the idea of discussing the play with Zhang Li again if it doesn't work out, the crew started testing the waters.
Zhang Li's role begins from the moment he first appears on the stage.
If you want to create a suitable image, the opportunity to appear is also very important.
It was rush hour in the morning. The female protagonist, who had just started working, walked into the lobby with her colleagues. Before they could swipe their cards to pass through the access control, they heard a series of urgent footsteps behind them.
"Hurry, hurry! Mr. Fang is here!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around them instantly felt a sense of urgency. They pretended to be calm and slowed down their pace.
The guard in charge of the company's gate was on high alert and rushed to the gate to guard it.
The Bentley carrying Zhang Li approached from afar and then stopped steadily at the main entrance of the company.
The guard quickly stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door. "Good morning, Mr. Fang."
The camera zoomed in, and a leg in suit pants stretched out, and the high heels stepped on the floor with a "clack". The moment it appeared, it made people's hearts jump.
As the camera gradually pulled away, Zhang Li no longer left any space and simply got out of the car.
The assistant sitting in the passenger seat had already taken the initiative to get off with the bag and waited by the side.
Zhang Li, who was in the center of the crowd, also appeared in front of the camera. He wore a black V-neck shirt over dark trousers, a dark coat on the outside, bright red lips, and a pair of expensive-looking big sunglasses on his delicate nose. He was serious and looked extremely cool and noble.
Zhang Li raised her hand slightly and took off her sunglasses. After folding them, she casually handed them to the side. The assistant who observed her expression stretched out his hands in time to take them from her hands.
After making a stunning appearance, Zhang Li nodded to the guard with a cold expression, then began to walk forward with her long legs in high heels.
With a height of 1.7 meters and the blessing of high heels, Zhang Li is enough to make the most eye-catching person in the crowd. What's more, her temperament is completely different from usual, as if she is really the big boss here, and everyone should always maintain an attitude of serving her.
Her sharp gaze swept across, and wherever she went, the actors playing the company employees did not dare to look at her at all, and subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid her sharpness.
Her image and acting skills completely conquered the others, and this scene completely became Zhang Li's home court.
As Zhang Li moved forward, the people around him moved away and bowed to him.
"Hello, Mr. Fang!"
"Hello, Mr. Fang!..."
The heroine who had originally come to the access control was attracted by this scene. Fortunately, her colleague next to her pulled her back in time, and she finally reacted.
Zhang Li walked past them with his assistant. Before reaching the access control, the assistant took a few quick steps and quickly used the card to open the door for Zhang Li.
With a "beep" sound, Zhang Li walked through the gate at just the right time without stopping.
The assistant cleverly opened another door and followed.
The heroine who stayed behind asked in confusion: "She is...?"
Instead of answering directly, my colleague pointed at the ceiling and made a throat-slitting gesture.
The heroine understood immediately and showed a surprised expression.
She really didn't expect that the company's rumored big boss would be such a beautiful and cold woman.
"Cut! Pass!" The director's voice sounded, and everyone belatedly left their roles.
Compared to everyone's confused expressions, the director was extremely satisfied as he watched the playback on the monitor.
Although he knew that Zhang Li's acting skills were strong, he didn't expect it to be this strong.
The assistant director next to him directly expressed his thoughts, "Is this what they call absolute control of the scene?"
They really struck gold!
From her first appearance to every frame thereafter, Zhang Li perfectly interprets the role, especially that expression, as if everything should be under her control. She is exactly the big boss that they can imagine and the audience hopes to see.
They didn't expect that there would be no NGs in this scene.
After filming this, the director took advantage of the momentum and followed up with a scene where the heroine was harassed by her boss and was asked to deliver documents to the big boss, a girl who had just joined the company.
It was also in this scene that the heroine fully realized the ultimate authority of this big boss.
When she went to deliver the documents, she happened to run into several managers being lectured by the big boss. Several "leaders" who were in charge of many people did not dare to say anything when facing the big boss's harsh criticism.
Fortunately, the heroine learned her lesson this time. She quickly retreated to a place where she couldn't be seen and waited quietly for the lecture to be over.
Fortunately, the big boss was very quick in everything he did, and he quickly dismissed the person after criticizing and pointing out the mistake. But this scene also left a deep impression on the heroine.
After she mustered up the courage to knock on the door and was called in by the big boss, she cautiously walked to Zhang Li's desk and told him that her boss had asked her to deliver the documents.
Then Zhang Li just glanced at her, which instantly made her hair stand on end.
Fortunately, she just looked at me and then looked away, and asked, "Are you new here?"
The heroine nodded quickly, "Yes!"
After she finished answering, she remembered that this scene didn't seem to be in the script.
However, the director didn't call for a stop, so she could only pretend not to notice and continue acting. However, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, wondering if Zhang Li would do something unconventional again.
But she didn't know that she seemed to be perfectly integrated with the script under the camera at this moment, and the heroine herself was also worried about the possible questions from the big boss next.
Fortunately, Zhang Li followed the script afterwards. After taking the document and taking a look at it, he quickly found the problem and pointed it out directly.
Hearing the words that were exactly the same as the script, the heroine breathed a sigh of relief and then began to answer seriously.
As the heroine of the entire promotion drama, this character has great potential. She is very serious about everything she does. Before submitting the documents, she carefully read them over and over again. Based on her professional knowledge, she had already spotted the loopholes in the documents and had prepared an excuse.
It was this outstanding performance that made the big boss in the play notice her difference, laying the groundwork for the subsequent plot.
This scene passed easily.
The actress who played the female lead was also very serious. When she recalled her performance just now, she always felt that she seemed to be a little out of place, so she asked the director to watch the replay.
But after watching it, the whole scene was so smooth, even better than she had imagined.
Zhang Li seemed to have changed a small detail of the plot, but it made her reaction even more beyond the usual.
After realizing this, the heroine suddenly realized that Zhang Li might have deliberately changed the scene.
This also made her realize the difference between Zhang Li and herself. Zhang Li was obviously about the same age as her, but not only did he play the big boss without any sense of disobedience, he could even bring her into the role with just a word or a glance. Is this the difference between top-tier talent and ordinary talent?!
The heroine was completely shocked and couldn't help but discuss it with other actors during the break, and all she got was agreement.
"Xixi, you've noticed it too, right? Oh my god! Every time I look at Teacher Zhang Li in the play, I feel even more pressured than when the director calls me in for a talk in real life!"
"I couldn't even look openly."
"He's even more imposing than my previous boss, yet he's usually quite gentle. I almost feel like I'm having a bit of a mental breakdown..."
Originally, they had no idea that Zhang Li won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Baiwen Awards. However, as they continued acting, they felt more and more the authority of this award.
All the scenes where Zhang Li plays the main role were almost all done in one take. Even if there were any NGs, the problem was definitely not with her.
After half a month of filming, all the actors were convinced.
Although Zhang Li still brought bodyguards with her to escort her jewelry in and out every day, no one discussed this anymore. Instead, many people began to ask her about her acting skills.
But every time Zhang Li spoke, he spoke very accurately, and just a few words made them suddenly understand.
On this day, a rumor suddenly spread among the crew that the director had invited another A-list actress to guest star, and she was an actress who was more popular than Zhang Li.
Everyone began to speculate who it was.
Zhang Li, however, seemed to not care about all this. Cheng Yu did not come with her today, and one of her assistants also did not come.
Because the intensity of today's shooting was a bit high, some actors came to greet Zhang Li and then went to change their clothes and prepare to go on stage.
There is still a long time before Zhang Li's role begins.
Zhang Li watched everyone's performance on the set for a while, then suddenly stood up.
Bai Wen noticed it and was about to ask something when Zhang Li shushed her and indicated that he was going to the bathroom.
Bai Wen wanted to say that she would go with her, but Zhang Li refused.
Thinking that the set was closed and ordinary people couldn't get in, Bai Wen felt relieved to let her go.
But she never thought that although ordinary people couldn't get in, it would be much easier for people in the crew to find Zhang Li alone.
Cao Mingyan had been looking for an opportunity for a long time, but he missed it from time to time. He thought it was no longer possible to talk to Zhang Li alone, and he was thinking about finding an opportunity to directly expose their relationship as people who grew up together in front of everyone. However, he did not expect that the opportunity would come like this.
Noticing that Zhang Li left the set alone, he quickly took the opportunity to hand over the work at hand to others and keep up with Zhang Li's pace.
When he reached a bend, Zhang Li suddenly stopped.
"There's no one here, Arthur, just tell me what you want to say."
Arthur is Cao Mingyan's nickname.
Hearing Zhang Li's words, he instantly became excited.
"Lili, something really happened to you, right? Has your team been monitoring your whereabouts? No wonder you haven't dared to talk to me. Could it be that your phone is being tracked? I sent you so many messages and you didn't reply, and my phone call is unreachable..."
Hearing that he had filled all the loopholes by himself, Zhang Li couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
From the original body's perspective, this should be a sign that Cao Mingyan values her, but Zhang Li knows that Cao Mingyan said all this just because he relies on his understanding of the original body and feels that the original body cannot escape his control, so he said in such an extremely confident tone that she was being controlled.
Zhang Li didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he responded with silence.
In Cao Mingyan's view, her silence was tantamount to consent.
"Is that Wancheng Private Equity Fund?! Did they hurt you?! Seeing you become like this, I feel so sad..."
Zhang Li did not answer, but just bit her lip as usual, and Cao Mingyan took the bait immediately.
"Lili, it's okay if you don't want to talk more! Don't worry! I will definitely help you!"
Seeing that he was completely immersed in his own imagination, Zhang Li imitated the original body's tone.
"I can't be away for long, please go."
Cao Mingyan seemed to understand something. He made a sad expression and nodded, then looked around. After seeing that no one saw him talking to Zhang Li, he turned and left in the opposite direction.
Looking at his leaving back, Zhang Li raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, then turned around and went back to the set.
While Cao Mingyan was still immersed in the dream of using Zhang Li to gain both fame and fortune, he didn't know that someone beyond his expectations was about to arrive.
After only two scenes were filmed in the morning, a staff member hurriedly came to whisper something in the director's ear.
The director clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stop what they were doing.
"Pay attention, our crew's special guest guest is arriving soon!"
Everyone's curiosity was piqued all of a sudden.
