Now looking back at the long questioning under that hot topic, it seems even more embarrassing and ridiculous——
Ji Li has no friends in the entertainment industry?
Sorry, Ji Yunqi and Yuan Yifei both came out to support us in person!
Is Ji Li always trying to take advantage of the popularity of his works?
Sorry, the director approved of him! The screenwriter recognized him! His peers recognized him!
Ji Li has no acting skills and no achievements?
Sorry, Ji Li has already won the trophies of the CTS Awards and the Hundred Images Awards.
There are no movies with male protagonists in Ji Li?
Sorry, in six hours, three movies starring male protagonists were announced in succession.
From Yao Chuan to Rong Tong and then to Xu Cheng, each director is more famous than the last!
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, is there any male star who dares to be as unbridled and domineering as Ji Li?
Ji Li's fans have fallen into a frenzy of joy. They are working harder and harder to repost Weibo posts and post positive data, while also increasing the official publicity of the three films.
“I thought Jili would have a movie starring him sooner or later, but I never thought he would be so awesome!”
"Career fans are ecstatic! Baby, fly bravely! Mommy will always be with you!"
"It's so cool, so cool, so cool! All you sour chickens, shut up!"
"The company didn't make any moves overnight. It turns out that Jili and I were planning on doing something that would slap our faces. Hahaha."
“Hahahaha, are these three movies just trying to seduce each other? They were announced at the same time, and all the real-time discussions started at the same time.”
Passersby who were watching the show were amazed, and many entertainment marketing accounts seized the opportunity to post praises on Weibo, while those black fans and sour chickens have chosen to keep silent.
"As a passerby, I feel so happy about this. Ji Li is really amazing! I think his acting is pretty good and his resources are getting better! Come on and win the 'Best Actor' trophy next year."
"One is an action-packed drug-busting film, one is a suspenseful crime-solving film, and one is a myth and legend. They are all different types of movies. How powerful is this film selection ability?"
"Is it too late to get into it now? I just like actors who are into careers."
"Other fans are really envious and crying. Is Ji Li a famous director harvester?"
The evening has always been the peak period for traffic, and amid such heated discussions, Ji Li once again dominated the hot searches.
Jili officially announced three male lead movies in six hours, Jili Reverse Hunting, Jili Demon God, Jili Special Operations 2, and Jili Famous Director Harvester...
Various hot search topics were bombarded one after another, almost causing a sensation in the entire fan circle.
A big tree attracts the wind, but this tree is very strong!
Although there were still some sour words coming out, they could not cause any substantial harm to Ji Li at the moment.
Fans follow their idols, and the Ji family fans have been able to calmly ignore these rumors, and even feel like laughing a little bit——
Just be jealous if you want to, and go ahead and criticize if you want to!
Do you think our male lead doesn’t have enough works? Do you think our slap in the face isn’t harsh enough?
Who knows, while you are making a fuss, our Ji Li may reveal some great news like a rocket launcher! It makes me happy just thinking about it.
…
Nine o'clock in the evening, Super Film Company.
Tao Mingyang and Yu Fuya returned to the office carrying several bags of midnight snacks. "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's have some midnight snacks. Ji Li is treating us!"
"Thank you, Mr. Tao."
"Thank you, Sister Yu."
"Thank you, Jili."
Cheers rang out, and everyone stood up from the room one after another and gathered around the large office desk used for eating.
Ji Li walked out of the lounge next door, holding a script of "Reverse Hunting" that he was studying.
“How is the popularity of the three movies now?”
"Brother Ji, don't worry. The three movies have influenced each other and their popularity has exceeded our expectations."
When Ji Li heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, "That's good."
There are less than ten days left before the filming of "Reverse Hunt" starts, and the producers originally planned to make the official announcement today.
After the accusatory Weibo post suddenly appeared last night, Baozi informed Ji Li immediately.
Ji Li looked at his fans trying hard to control comments and fight against the black fans on his behalf, but he decided to just go for the big one as a gift to them in return.
He asked people to contact the producers of "Reverse Hunt" and "The Demon Monk" respectively, and explained his idea of announcing them on the same day.
In addition, the film "Special Operations" has already confirmed the filming plan for the second part next year, and is currently looking for Chaoying to discuss the contract details of various matters related to the filming with Ji Li.
After some discussion, Chaoying simply explained the situation to the three production parties and officially announced the movie.
This bold move has never been done before in the entire entertainment industry. If an actor's popularity is not high enough, announcing it on the same day will only distract from the discussion.
But Ji Li believes in himself, the company, the fans, and the producers. He is confident that he can combine the popularity of the three films to launch a sprint together.
After discussing the plan all night, everyone agreed to the plan.
After all, the contract has been signed, and they have confirmed that he will be the male lead, plus there are many forms of official announcement for the movie.
Announcing the male lead actor counts as an official announcement, and releasing the finalized poster can also count as an official announcement... They chose the former at the same time, working together to gain popularity this time, and they can still gain popularity in batches next time.
Therefore, with the joint promotion of many parties, the current extreme grand occasion has been achieved.
“Have you taken screenshots of the content and data of that Weibo post? Let’s file a lawsuit tomorrow morning.” Ji Liyun raised his eyebrows calmly.
"We will take care of this." Yu Fuya said, "As for you, the upcoming group announcements are so tight, can your body handle it?"
The next three days were spent on the script of "Reverse Hunting", and the filming started a week later.
Then comes the filming, wrapping up, joining the crew again, wrapping up again, joining the crew again, wrapping up again. It will probably take until August next year to finish all this busy work.
"I'm in the rising stage of my career now, so it's normal for me to work harder." Ji Li didn't think there was any problem. "After the film is finished and before I join the crew again, I have enough rest time in between."
Anyway, he is not busy filming multiple dramas at the same time, so he has enough energy and ability to ensure that he can interpret each role with all his efforts at different stages.
…
At noon the next day, Chaoying Culture’s official Weibo account issued a statement:
The company has already commissioned a law firm to file a lawsuit, demanding that '@乐迷兔' who published the negative article delete the content of his Weibo post from the day before, and issue an apology statement to Ji Li in public within three days!
In addition, the company also dealt with the recent fabricated negative information about Ji Yunqi and Wei Lai.
They will take screenshots of all Weibo users who have maliciously spread rumors and forwarded more than 500 messages as evidence, and require users to delete the false remarks in a timely manner, otherwise they will also reserve the right to sue!
Who said we only love Ji Li?
For all the artists under Chaoying, the company will do its best to provide them with the best resources and the best protection.
Chaoying started its usual protective mode, and fans of its artists saw this and unanimously suppressed their dissatisfaction.
Okay, I hope the company can treat everyone equally.
After all, when it comes to protecting artists, Super Film Company ranks second, and no other company dares to claim to be first.
As for Ji Li, who has been on the rise recently, they can only stare and envy. After all, they are all from the same company, there can't be any internal strife, right?
Ji Li's fans are always keeping an eye on @乐迷兔's Weibo, waiting for this big entertainment black fan to quickly delete the Weibo post and issue an apology to Ji Li.
Unexpectedly, before the apology was even issued, this big account with nearly 10 million fans actually "exploded"!
——This user has been blocked and deleted by the authorities for posting illegal content.
Oh my god?
The account was directly exploded!
While fans were in shock, the marketing company behind the user '樂迷兔' personally came forward and posted a deep apology to Ji Li on the official blog.
In addition to the careful and sincere apology, their person in charge also said -
In the future, we will urge the entire company's marketing personnel to be cautious in what they say and do, to be positive, sunny and just when facing celebrity public opinion, and to resolutely not gain traffic benefits by deliberately smearing others.
"An account with tens of millions of followers? How much money will it lose from this account deletion?"
"This company has a lot of marketing accounts under its control, and every time they speak out, they are extremely inflammatory. This time, they finally capsized!"
"Great job! This company has a lot of nasty accounts, and they are trying to discredit various celebrities every day, and they are also trying to manipulate the friendly relationships between celebrity fans. They don't mind making money from this kind of traffic!"
"Ji Li is awesome! Chao Ying is awesome! They actually managed to force such a shameless marketing company to delete their account and apologize? Hahaha, so cool!"
It was not until this time that the rational fans of each company finally emerged and shouted that it was refreshing.
You know, a large part of the foul fan fights in the entertainment industry are instigated by these foul-mouthed marketing accounts.
After enduring for so long, finally some stars and companies came forward to launch a strong counterattack!
…
The script reading for the new day has ended.
When Ji Li arrived home, he learned about the "Lemi Rabbit" account being deleted and the marketing company's apology.
Baozi was puzzled on the other end of the phone, "Brother Ji, don't you think this is weird? Our company didn't spend so much effort, why are they so guilty that they directly deleted the account and apologized?"
Ji Li guessed something and raised his lips, "Let it explode. It won't do any harm to us anyway."
"That's right."
"I'm going to hang up now. Contact me on WeChat if you have anything."
"good."
The two ended the call briefly.
After a tiring day, Ji Li sank into the soft sofa, and the Major General and Xue Bing immediately stuck to him. Ever since Qin Li went abroad to film a movie, the cat and the dog have temporarily been under the care of Ji Li.
Being nudged by these two soft little cuties, Ji Li suddenly missed Qin Li.
Perhaps it was the subtle tacit understanding unique to lovers. The next second, WeChat vibrated.
——Baby, are you still busy?
——No, I just got home.
Just after the brief reply was sent, a video call came in.
The call is connected.
Ji Li looked at the familiar handsome face in the video, a smile sneaked out of the corner of his eyes, "You haven't started work today yet?"
"The crew took half a day off." Qin Li's voice was hoarse with a hint of fatigue.
The major general recognized Qin Li's voice and immediately pricked up his ears, making a sound of "woo woo woo".
Ji Li rubbed the dog's head and asked, "Did you secretly have someone do something about the 'Music Rabbit' and the marketing company?"
"You discovered it so quickly." Qin Li smiled and did not deny it.
"You didn't stay up all night because of this, did you?" Ji Li saw his tiredness and felt a little reluctant in his heart.
"I was afraid that you would be distracted by these trivial matters, so I didn't tell you what happened in the past two days."
Artists and public opinion have always been inseparable. Ji Li is accustomed to such disturbances and can handle them properly. He doesn't want to make Qin Li worry every time.
"Of course I know you can handle it on your own, but I still want to protect you." Qin Li answered seriously.
He had been working in the entertainment industry for ten years before Ji Li. Aren’t the achievements and status he had accumulated in these ten years just for the purpose of protecting his own people at this moment?
Why should Ji Li, the lover he protected in his hands and recognized by the industry, be slandered like this?
Those marketing accounts wanted to rely on blackmail to gain traffic, but he just wanted to completely cut off their source of income.
"Ji Li, I hope you treat me as the confidence you deserve, not the other half that needs to be hidden and can be pushed away at any time."
Lovers should rely on each other emotionally and support each other in solving problems.
Qin Li's voice, which was originally magnetic, sounded particularly affectionate when amplified by the mobile phone.
Ji Li's heart was touched, and of course he understood what Qin Li meant.
Seeing his lover's eyes gradually turn serious, he replied submissively, "Qin Li, I miss you a little."
Just a few simple words completely dispelled Qin Li's seriousness. He chuckled helplessly, "You always know how to take advantage of my weakness."
Ji Li smiled, and suddenly added frivolously, "Where is your soft spot? Aren't they all hard?"
Qin Li on the other end of the video raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of teasing in his words, "If you say that again, I will buy a plane ticket back home, believe it or not?"
Ji Li snorted twice.
He couldn't tell when it started, but he always showed provocative thoughts in front of Qin Li that he had never had before.
Qin Li took a sip of coffee and concentrated, then suddenly mentioned something, "Did you know that there are more CP fans of you and Ji Yunqi on the Internet recently?"
Chen Xi and Song Ran in the play won the tears and love of many audiences.
During the offline promotion, the interaction between Ji Li and Ji Yunqi was very loving, so this cult party emerged. Yesterday, Ji Yunqi took the initiative to speak out in support of Ji Li, and those CP fans were almost going crazy.
“…”
Ji Li was stuck. When he realized the sour taste in Qin Li's words, he couldn't help laughing, "You are busy filming, why are you still monitoring the dynamics of domestic CPs in real time?"
Qin Li heard the sarcasm in his words and only replied, "If I had known this would happen, I should have put a second Easter egg at the end of the movie, and there would be no story about Song Ran and Chen Xi now."
When Ji Li heard this, he suddenly remembered something——
When the filming of "Special Operations" was completed, Ji Li actually shot two versions of the flying pages.
Chen Xi survived a desperate situation and thus caught the eye of the "giant shark" behind Shi Ye.
In fact, his life was saved by someone sent by the other party.
What we see now is the first version, and the other hidden version is his rivalry with Qin Li.
The scene was still in the ward, but after Chen Xi turned around, the camera captured Qin Li's powerful and dangerous back.
The two looked at each other, the former determined and the latter playful, freezing the camera frame with their own thoughts.
When this version was first released, it received strong praise from Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing. However, this Easter egg clip was deleted before it was finally submitted for review.
One reason is that netizens tend to make up stories with their imaginations, which may infiltrate too much of the plot and cause trouble for script writing.
Secondly, because Qin Li and Ji Li became a real-life couple, they were also afraid that too much screen time between the two would cause malicious suspicion among some fans.
Thirdly, Qin Li is currently focusing on the overseas market, and the domestic film and television schedule is uncertain. In order to avoid giving the audience a fixed impression, he would change actors and start filming next year, which would cause disappointment to everyone.
Taking all the above reasons into consideration, the final Easter egg became the version that the audience saw.
"Are you so confident that you can win back the CP fans who have gone astray once that Easter egg comes out?"
Qin Li smiled and said nothing.
They are a real couple in the true sense of the word. How can anyone compare to their compatible aura?
Qin Li changed the subject, "When will it start?"
"Next Thursday, I really like Director Rong's script. It has a lot of twists and turns, and I think it will be very mind-boggling for the audience."
Ji Li's hands moved back and forth on Xue Bing and the major general's head, rubbing them with great pleasure.
"As long as you like it, remember to take good care of yourself on the set."
"Okay, you too."
The two chatted for a while, and Qin Li hung up the phone reluctantly out of consideration for Ji Li's sleep time.
…
For the next two days, Ji Li immersed himself in the script reading.
The script of the movie "Reverse Hunting" was written by screenwriter Guan Xi.
Six years ago, the movie "Gone Girl", for which he wrote the script, won awards such as "Best Feature Film" and "Best Screenplay" at the three major domestic film festivals.
This movie ignited the high scores of domestic suspense films and was regarded by countless people as the "best example of Chinese suspense films."
Now "Reverse Hunting" is directed by Rong Tong and written by Guan Xi. This model is undoubtedly a strong collaboration.
So after the movie officially announced the male lead, Ji Li’s fans and ordinary netizens all had strong expectations.
In Ji Li's opinion, the setting of the male protagonist of "Reverse Hunting" is equally wonderful——
The protagonist of the movie is named Mu Qin. Fifteen years ago, his parents were murdered, but he accidentally escaped by hiding in the closet. This incident left him with a deep psychological trauma that he could not erase until he became an adult.
Growing up under this shadow, Mu Qin is extremely lacking in empathy. He doesn't care about the sloppy life he leads, and he also lacks concern for the people around him.
When he was a child, Mu Qin would run to the vegetable market and watch the chickens, ducks, fish and geese being killed bit by bit by the blades, and watch the blood mix with the mud and rush into the sewer.
When he grew up, he studied forensics and worked in a related institution after graduation. He went to various crime scenes and admired the devastation at the end of life with an expressionless face.
"It's just a beautiful appearance, but it contains a broken and dark soul."
This is the common evaluation of Mu Qin by people around him.
Few people know that Mu Qin's actions were just to stimulate himself and to evoke memories of the murder case that year.
The case of the Mu couple remained unsolved for many years because all surveillance cameras were lost, key evidence was lacking, and Mu Qin, who was deeply shocked, was unable to identify the appearance of the murderer.
This matter was hidden in Mu Qin's heart and became his only obsession.
…
It is not easy to interpret a character with such an extremely complex personality.
During this period, Ji Li immersed himself in the script, trying to figure out the delicate and subtle psychological changes of the male protagonist.
He has read the script six or seven times, but the excitement it presents has not diminished in the slightest.
At the beginning of the story, Muchin received an unnamed package of letters.
Hidden in the package was a yellowed photo, showing a young couple lying on the ground with blood holes all over their bodies, and their blood had spread out like a gorgeous flower on the white tile floor.
When Mu Qin saw this photo, he trembled all over and held his head in pain.
He has seen all the photos of the scene from that year and clearly remembers the shooting angle and range of each photo. He can conclude that this photo was not taken by the police!
As expected, there is a line of particularly neatly engraved fonts on the back of this photo:
"In commemoration of the fifth murder."
As soon as this line of words came out, Mu Qin felt a sense of fear he had never felt before.
No one had ever told him, and there was not enough evidence, that his parents' deaths were likely part of a serial murder case.
Who sent him this photo?
Is it the murderer?
In addition to the photo, there was also an invitation letter with white words on black paper.
——Hush.
-Don't tell anyone, let's play a game.
——As long as you come alone, the murderer who killed your parents will die before your eyes.
Mu Qin was bewitched by the words on the letter. He checked the fingerprints on the letter, photos and exposures, but found nothing. The surveillance camera at the door of his house also did not show any suspicious figures.
These things seemed to appear out of thin air.
Fifteen years later, this shelved case suddenly took a new turn.
Mu Qin couldn't ignore such clues, so he followed the address on the letter and went to the recreational activity called 'Catching Summer'.
After the event, he and six other strangers were arranged to stay in the same family-style hotel.
Mu Qin was a person who didn't like socializing. While others were having fun in the living room at night, he stayed alone in his room until dawn.
The heavy rain continued all night.
The next morning, screams spread throughout the house.
The owner of the family hotel was hanged at the top of his spiral staircase, with countless bloody holes on his body.
Blood fell from a great height along with the corpse, and brilliant flowers bloomed on the ground.
The police arrived and cordoned off the scene.
After preliminary investigation, they discovered that the deceased hotel owner was the culprit who committed seven murders that year.
The first crime scene was in the grocery room. The knives were stabbed in the victims’ fatal parts, and all the bloody holes perfectly replicated the wounds on the bodies of the Mu couple.
During the time of the incident, among the seven guests staying in the hotel, only Mu Qin stayed in the room on the second floor throughout the entire time.
The directionality is particularly obvious.
Mu Qin knew very well that he had fallen into the murderer's trap and was being treated as an easy prey.
In this extremely unfavorable situation, Mu Qin had to start directional reasoning hunting in order to prove his innocence.
After peeling back layer after layer, the truth that was hidden so deeply at that time finally emerged bit by bit.
…
The imagination of the screenwriters in Kansai is very big and novel.
After reading the entire script, Ji Li couldn't stop reading because of the twists and turns of the plot. Several details buried in the script were enough to make people's hair stand on end.
In addition to Mu Qin played by Ji Li, the roles of other supporting characters are also super exciting, and the hidden relationships between the characters are even more intricate.
It is not difficult to imagine that under the guidance of director Rong Tong, who is known as the 'God of Suspense', the finished product is definitely a movie worth watching multiple times.
With such expectations, Ji Li finally welcomed the start day of "Reverse Hunting".
In the first scene after the filming started, Ji Li faced off against the best actor Fang Mo who made a comeback after many years.
