Back in Hengdian, Li Ai's desperate call came. "Ji Wan, can you please pay more attention? Focus more on your career and stop causing trouble for me, okay?"
"What's wrong?"
"What else can I do? Just check Weibo yourself." Li Ai took a sip of water. None of her artists were obedient. She was really worried about him.
Yesterday, a photo of him and Jiang Yufeng shopping was posted on Weibo. Jiang Yufeng's face was blurred, and the caption read: "Ji Wan's rumored boyfriend."
Li Ai said angrily, "Look at you, you have eight million followers now. Can you be more self-aware? Why are you having a boyfriend during your rising years? Write a short essay to clarify things."
"Okay, I'll send it out later."
"What do you mean by 'wait a minute'? Right now. Ji Wan, I don't care about your private affairs, but you'd better stay single during your business hours, okay?"
"knew."
Xu Jing immediately wrote a short essay and posted it on his Weibo, the whole essay conveying the same message that he and the man in the photo were just friends.
The paparazzi added Xu Jing in a private message and sent him several photos. There were intimate photos of him and Jiang Yufeng, and he wanted one million for each. The price was shameless.
Paparazzi A said: "Don't try to delete the photos. I still have the video. If you want to be safe, pay me immediately."
His film salary has not exceeded one million yet. It must be too easy for paparazzi to make money.
Xu Jing directly gave the paparazzi his number and stole all his data.
The paparazzi was happily waiting to receive his money when his computer screen went black and all the data in his WeChat account was copied cleanly.
Oh my god, did he meet a great hacker?
Paparazzi A was so angry that he contacted Ji Wan, only to find that he had been blocked.
The evidence was gone, and the money was gone too. Paparazzi A turned evil and broke the news directly in Ji Wan's comment section. "Your sister has a sponsor."
"No picture, no truth. Making up stories is against the law, you know?"
Paparazzi A. "Not only does your sister have a wealthy sponsor, she's also a promiscuous womanizer. Ji Wan, you're going to die a miserable death, you..."
Paparazzi A cursed loudly in the comment section, attracting countless passers-by to watch.
As "Shark Cop" nears its finale, people are starting to realize that the annoying female lead isn't as popular as Ji Wan, the third female lead. Combined with what the paparazzi said, the comment section is buzzing with discussion.
"What was Ji Wan's background before? She was cast as the third female lead right after she arrived. And she was given so many scenes. Could she really be supported by some big boss?"
"She seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Her acting is terrible. She was asked to play Leng Ningshuang and her expression was completely paralyzed. Her career has taken a dark turn."
"Which third female lead would frequently appear on trending searches? There must be financial backing behind her."
"You're only 20 and you're already in a relationship? Ji Wan, you're so confused. Why would you focus on your career when you're on the rise?"
Fans started to argue in the comment section.
"The one above is a fan of Hu Yiran, right? Are you blaming the third female lead's poor acting skills for your sister's poor salesmanship? Can't you see where her acting is bad?"
"Ji Wan hasn't taken a single day off on set. Hu Yiran, on the other hand, has terrible lines and terrible acting. Even though she graduated from a professional school, she was instantly outshone by Ji Wan, okay?"
"Are Hu Yiran's fans blind? Ji Wan has already taken the initiative to clarify that she has no boyfriend rumors. If you don't need your eyes, just donate them."
"Stop arguing and watch the show rationally. The female lead is really badly designed, like the male lead's pendant. She has no independent thinking and drags the whole show down. Damn this pendant female lead."
"+, this is no longer the era of little white flowers. We want to see independent and strong women."
At the same time, "Shark Cop" also opened its score, with 400,000 votes on the day of the release, and a score of 7.3. It is considered the best drama on Fruit TV this year.
From the beginning to the end of the filming of this drama, the fans of the male and female protagonists have been fighting with each other. The fans of Huafen still couldn't defeat the fans of Shengfen and were massacred in the square several times.
Despite the fierce fight among fans, the drama was not affected at all and it got better and better.
All the characters in the play, big and small, became more or less famous, except for the heroine Hu Yiran who became invisible.
Ji Wan took advantage of the opportunity and gained more than five million fans, and now he has reached the threshold of a third-tier star.
The scandal made Ji Wan popular again, and his number of fans increased instead of decreasing. After being on the black hot search for a few days, he suddenly made a sprint and had 10 million fans, becoming the top star in the eyes of paparazzi.
As Ji Wan's agent, Li Ai has been smiling happily these days. After Ji Wan returned to Hengdian, she took people to shoot several commercials and made a lot of money.
Subsequently, more and more drama production companies came to cooperate with him, and Xu Jing also had the qualifications to choose scripts.
Li Ai specifically invited him to the office to discuss the next film. Aside from the two-day guest appearance Director Li needed, Ji Wan's stock was already gone, which was a bit cruel for an actor on the rise.
Li Ai simply asked him to pick a few more, and it would be best if he stayed in Hengdian to film for a whole year so that he would have no time to fall in love.
"Look, what do you want to play?"
The market is divided into different levels. Currently, Xu Jing can access A-level scripts and play the female lead in A-level dramas, and play important female supporting roles in S-level dramas. His salary has also increased several times. The entertainment industry has always been a selective industry. Now that his traffic has reached the threshold, whether he can go further depends entirely on his future development.
Xu Jing picked out the currently popular melodramatic drama "The Rich Daughter" and the comic-adapted drama "The Beautiful Woman" from a number of scripts.
I can understand the soap opera Li Ai is involved with. As long as she's pretty and has decent acting, she can basically maintain her popularity. But what about the low-budget drama that follows? Even if it's a comic adaptation, it's still a B-grade drama.
Xu Jing explained: "Sister Li, I want to try different styles. At my age, I am still too immature to be involved in rural dramas, and my acting skills in war dramas are not good enough. I will practice with these two dramas first, and then change if they are not suitable."
"Why not change the comic adaptation into a school drama? This remake of Meteor Garden is pretty good. If you act in it, it can also solidify your position in the domestic entertainment industry."
Li Ai has even created a good character for him, "the pure little white flower in the domestic entertainment industry", this character is sure to attract fans.
"The script is terrible. I'm afraid of being compared to others if I act. With such a great role before me, I'd rather not act. Sister Li, can you respect my choice?"
"Ji Wan, I'm not trying to be hard on you, Sister Li. Look at the dramas you chose. Each one takes three months to shoot, so that's going to waste more than half a year, right? As a rising actor, how much time do you have to waste?"
Li Ai earnestly advised: "Just listen to my advice and add another one. As long as you add it, I will do whatever you say, okay?"
"No." The character design is too bad, and if he plays this role, he will definitely be criticized. "Sister Li, look, there is a movie here."
Movie? Li Ai's attention was drawn to the script sent to her. "Guest appearance?"
