There was a sudden accident with an actor in the crew, so today's filming progress will have to be delayed.
Although Yao Chuan has a bad temper, he is relatively efficient in doing things. He simply gave everyone a holiday and arranged for someone to take Ji Li to retake the final makeup photos.
The casting of "The Young Master" has not been officially announced yet, so it's still in time for reshoots.
"Brother Ji! Here I come!" Baozi rushed into the makeup room carrying a bunch of drinks, "Thank you for your hard work, teachers. I'm Ji Li's assistant. Brother Ji asked me to bring these drinks, you can help yourself."
"Thank you." The person in charge responded and asked everyone to take a short break.
We are only taking the final makeup photos of Ji Li, so there is no rush.
Baozi took the opportunity to bring Ji Li a cup of coffee and said with a smile, "Brother Ji, would you like some too?"
"Why are you here?" Ji Li looked at the drinks being divided up by the staff and asked in surprise, "How come you became my assistant and bought things for everyone?"
"I called Team Leader Wang." Baozi looked very proud. "He told me that you temporarily replaced He Ling and took over the role. Now that you have joined the crew, Sun Yong is behaving like that..."
"How can I do this without someone to follow me? So, I volunteered to do it." Baozi raised his hand excitedly, "Brother Ji, can you just let me follow you? If there's anything you don't understand, I can learn it."
Baozi's optimism is very similar to that of his former assistants.
Although Ji Li was touched, he didn't want to delay the other person. "I have no money and no fame now. Are you sure you want to stay by my side as an assistant? The only guaranteed salary the company gives you every month is the minimum wage."
"Brother Ji, I have enough money to spend." Baozi approached him and whispered with pride, "I have always been very good at judging people. You will definitely become famous! If I follow you now, won't I become a veteran in the future?"
Ji Li chuckled and handed the coffee back. "I want milk tea. Coffee is too bitter for me."
Baozi understood that the other party had accepted his assistant status, and immediately smiled happily, "Brother Ji, I'll get it for you!"
"good."
Five minutes later, Ji Li was holding a cup of milk tea, his cheeks bulging with chewing pearls, and letting several stylists tinker with his hairstyle.
Baozi sat quietly on the side and reported to him, "Brother Ji, I have changed the standard of your room at the hotel. I have already discussed it with the crew and the company. I have temporarily placed Xuebing in the pet shop. I will pick him up after work tonight."
Ji Li curled his lips and nodded, obviously very satisfied with Baozi's efficiency.
Xie Yan's styling was prepared early on, and only slight changes in details were needed based on Ji Li's facial features. The styling director liked the mole on Ji Li's nose very much and deliberately preserved it instead of covering it completely with makeup.
The young man's gentle features are very touching.
Because the scene where she was about to appear was accidentally leaked, the crew simply used this look as the final makeup. Other styles will be presented one by one during the shooting.
Ji Li had read the original novel and was familiar with the script because of his role as a "stand-in actor". Although he took over the role temporarily, he had already mastered the role to perfection.
The makeup photo shoot went smoothly and was completed in less than an hour.
After Ji Li took off her makeup, she found Baozi standing at the door, anxiously pacing around. "Baozi, what's wrong?"
"Brother Ji, He Ling is on the trending search again." Baozi walked closer and showed him the screen of his mobile phone.
Ji Li took the phone and saw the number one trending search - He Ling was seriously injured on the set.
Baozi frowned. He didn’t dare to disturb the other party who was filming. “It suddenly became the number one. I saw his fans were scolding the crew under the trending search.”
He had a bad feeling in his heart, "Brother Ji, I always feel that things are not that simple."
How could Ji Li not understand the implication of Baozi's words? If He Ling knew that the role fell into his hands, given his personality, he would never let it go.
Ji Li suppressed his doubts and said, "Let's go back to the hotel and talk about it."
"good."
After they returned to the hotel, Ji Li picked up his phone to browse Weibo.
The news about He Ling's accident on the set remained a hot topic. The official response from the crew came out very quickly, and the official blog had published an apology letter, but it still failed to quell the anger of He Ling's fans.
——What a shitty crew! Actors can’t even take safety measures during filming? Do you think that just an apology announcement will be enough?
——Do you have to wait until the fans know about it before you send an apology letter? If the fans don’t know, are you going to pretend that nothing happened?
——A precious treasure is handed into your hands, and this is how you treat it? [Smile]
——Please dismiss the staff of the props team and the wire team immediately!
Although He Ling's popularity is not as high as before, the fans who are able to stay are very strong. Except for a few controlled comments in the front row, the comments updated in real time are all very harsh.
Ji Li shook his head, "Baozi, how did He Ling get injured?"
Baozi had already found out the actual situation and immediately said, "There was a fight scene this morning and the actors had to jump down from the eaves. This scene is very difficult, and in addition to the necessary close-up of the face, the crew plans to use a body double."
Ji Li nodded. He had seen this paragraph in the notice before.
"He Ling insisted that he could do it himself." Baozi poured Ji Li a cup of warm water and continued, "The wire teacher suggested that He Ling cooperate a few more times, but he thought it was a waste of time. When the official shooting started, He Ling's position when jumping from the eaves was off, and he fell on the small stall next to him."
"I heard that two Lavia crew members were injured in the crew."
Both parties have some responsibility in this matter, but He Ling clearly wants to put the blame on the crew. Buying this high-ranking hot search is probably an opportunity to abuse and retain fans.
Ji Li didn't look relaxed. He always felt that He Ling had a backup plan.
The two of them had a casual dinner.
Baozi is always at the forefront of the entertainment industry and habitually browses the web on his mobile phone after meals. But within a few seconds, he sat up straight, "Brother Ji, there's a rumor posted online! It involves you, He Ling, and Teacher Qin Li!"
"Brother Li?" Ji Li's heart sank.
"I'll send it to you." Baozi said.
Ji Li clicked on the link and quickly checked the explosive post.
——Insider information! He Ling's role in the new drama has been replaced by a newcomer! Moreover, this newcomer has a close relationship with Qin Li!
"Accurate information, He Ling's leg injury will take at least three months to recover. The role in the new play was replaced this afternoon. The replacement is a new actor named Ji Li, who is also at Dream Media. The company is very optimistic about this new actor and wanted to use He Ling's popularity to promote the twins from the beginning. Ji Li's current resources are all from the latter."
"There is another rumor that Ji Li and Actor Qin are very close, and they may have that kind of relationship. Ji Li played a small role in Qin Li's latest movie before, and the latter's movie just finished shooting yesterday, and he went to the crew of "Youth Strategy" without stopping. As a result, in less than a day, the role of He Ling was replaced. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
In addition to the text content in the main post, the poster who broke the news also attached two photos. One photo shows Qin Li visiting the crew yesterday, and the other shows Ji Li doing her makeup shoot in the studio in the afternoon.
Both photos were taken secretly, but the combination of pictures and texts makes it obvious that they were "long-planned."
"It's that Uncle Fan again! That old stinky thing." Baozi gritted his teeth when he saw the main building ID.
This person is essentially a marketing account, and he will produce negative information as long as he is paid. However, since the "information" he reveals is a mixture of truth and falsehood, he still has a lot of fans following him.
The explosive post was published ten minutes ago. He Ling in the title is currently on the hot search list, and Qin Li is an actor with his own traffic, so the speed at which the post is being published is unprecedentedly fast.
——Come quickly and eat the melon!
——He Ling was just injured this morning, and someone else was hired to take the final photos in the afternoon? The crew is so ruthless!
——Damn, I feel so sorry for my Lingbao! Who does Ji Li think he is? Have you ever considered your own worth? Why hasn’t Dream Media, this crappy company, gone bankrupt yet?
——Although I don’t believe that Qin Li would have a relationship with a newcomer, but judging from the timeline of the revelations, it is really too coincidental.
——The above, the more impossible it is, the more possible it is. I remember that someone had previously posted a thread speculating about Qin Li’s sexual orientation, but it was quickly deleted by the administrator.
——Deep in the mountains! If you’re fighting over resources from the same company, don’t bring our brother Li into the fight. He’s very busy, so don’t cue him!
——Are Qin Li and Ji Li really related? The more I think about it, the more terrifying it is. I even suspect that He Ling’s fall was not an accident.
——I feel sorry for He Ling. He blocked his spot on debut night last year and now his role has been replaced by someone else. My fans must be so heartbroken.
——I’m sick of it. People who rely on connections to get to the top are the most disgusting. What is Ji Li’s Weibo? I'll scold him for free on He Ling's behalf.
Since the very beginning when "injury" became a hot topic, He Ling has already attracted enough attention from fans and passers-by netizens. It is now eight o'clock in the evening, which is the peak time for web traffic. The revelations from this forum are "strike while the iron is hot" and the effect of public opinion will be doubled immediately.
Ji Li opened his Weibo account, and under the only Weibo update, He Ling, who had rushed over, had already cursed him thousands of times.
The most popular post has received over 10,000 likes: "You shameless thief, you still want to act? I think you should just get out of the entertainment industry and die! Your parents must be unlucky to have raised a slut like you who climbs into other people's beds!"
Ji Li stared at the comment without blinking, his eyes dark.
"Brother Ji, don't look at it!" Baozi quickly snatched Ji Li's phone, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable and wronged.
The insults under the Weibo posts increased exponentially, making him feel sick. "This is too much! These people have lost their manners in their pursuit of idols!"
Ji Li rubbed his swollen temples and thought about countermeasures secretly.
"Brother Ji, this explosive post has become a hot topic on the forum, and has been reposted by netizens on Weibo. The topic has also become more popular. What should we do now?" Baozi looked at the real-time news and felt a little uneasy. "Should we ask the company to help with public relations? At least we have to suppress the false news."
Ji Li was still a newcomer with no works, and there were no fans to defend him at all. He Ling's fans insulted him and spread negative information on his Weibo, causing netizens who came to watch the show to follow suit and say a few words.
If this continues, Ji Li’s popularity will be ruined.
As soon as he finished speaking, a WeChat message came on his mobile phone. It was from Wang Qiuhui. The other party was brief and to the point: Your Weibo account is being managed by the company. Without permission, you should not make any response on the Internet.
Ji Li's expression finally became completely gloomy, and he asked back: The company is not going to take care of it anymore?
Wang Qiuhui replied: There is no benefit in quarreling with artists from the same company. Our superiors asked us to handle the matter calmly, so you have to bear the loss. Just stay in the crew and film. As long as the crew can withstand the pressure of public opinion and insist on using you, then you will have made enough money this time.
Ji Li handed the message to Baozi and sneered, "The company knew that He Ling was behind this, but they still wanted to favor him."
The entertainment industry is so realistic. If you have nothing to show for your current popularity, commercial value, or topic popularity, you will be suppressed by the 'winner'.
If it happened to other newcomers, perhaps they should just accept their fate.
But Ji Li was unwilling to be slandered and suppressed. He had his own bottom line in dealing with people. Since He Ling keeps hitting his sore spots, he should be prepared for his counterattack.
"Baozi, please help me contact the crew to confirm two things." Ji Li looked at the scattered lights downstairs and had an idea in his mind, "Who said that we have to rely on company public relations to fight back?"
Baozi immediately perked up, "Brother Ji, tell me!"
Three minutes later, Baozi trotted out of the room.
Ji Li tapped the screen of his mobile phone with his fingertips, and after thinking it over, he made a WeChat call.
"Hello." The man's charming and magnetic voice came over.
Ji Li's mind was slightly shaken, and the pent-up anger also dissipated a little, "Brother Li, it's me."
Before he could open his mouth to ask, Qin Li on the other end of the phone answered tacitly, "I've seen the public opinion online, and I was just about to find you."
