Chapter 217
After the New Year, Wang Shuai couldn't wait to find Jian Li.
This guy is quite a chicken. The first thing he said when he found Jian Li was to register a company and also to register the Three Kingdoms Kill brand.
"I have two plans, one is to sell cards, the other is to open a store."
The store will definitely not just sell cards. Wang Shuai plans to open an entertainment store that combines an Internet cafe, table games and billiards.
Jian Li: "It's up to you to decide. I just want a share."
She wants 50% of the cards, and she also wants to invest in the store, taking 30%.
Wang Shuai agreed readily, but Jian Li suddenly remembered something and called him, "Are you still making false accounts now?"
Wang Shuai looked as if his dignity had been insulted: "No! Why are you bringing up old scores?"
Wang Shuai was too embarrassed to say that he had been remembering that beating all these years.
Because he left such a deep impression, he now has a very good reputation among his partners.
Such a good reputation brought him good popularity.
When his business was going smoothly, Wang Shuai even thought that he had not gone astray in all these years just because of that beating.
Cooperation with anyone is fragile at the beginning. Once a crisis of trust occurs, the consequences are immeasurable.
Jian Li looked at Wang Shuai suspiciously and let him go.
She has too many things to do now and has no time to deal with those trivial matters, so having a reliable partner is the easiest way.
As soon as Wang Shuai got back, he started contacting manufacturers to make cards. He was a man who always liked to save money, so he just sold all the cards in the PHS store.
Jian Li originally had no intention of intervening in the design of the cards, but when she saw that the card designs Wang Shuai had found were too ugly, she asked Wang Shuai for a design fee and then began to draw the cards. There were more than a hundred cards, and Jian Li did not have a very complicated design, but just followed the most basic modeling.
The cards were just finished and it was time to join the group.
Jian Li flew to the crew with her luggage. Filming was a novel experience in her life. She even played a dead person in the film.
The fake blood was sticky. After finishing the show, Jian Li took a few photos as a souvenir and then finished the work excitedly.
At that time, Hengdian was not as crowded with tourists as it would be a few years later, and Jian Li's life became more and more regular.
I would probably go to the crew to watch the show, and in my free time I would look for a store, and then wonder what to eat there.
The atmosphere in the crew is also very good. Because of Jian Li's presence, everyone in the crew knows that the original author has the final say, so no one does anything irrelevant.
Lao Zhu came several times during the process, as he was worried that Jian Li and the director were not on good terms.
Originally the director had the final say in the crew, but now someone came to grab the right to speak, and Old Zhu was very upset.
It turns out that Jian Li has a good relationship with the director.
The director is a Hong Kong woman in her forties, her surname is Huang.
Unexpectedly, Jian Li got along well with her.
Director Huang would always pull Jian Li to study the script whenever he had time. Sometimes when they had different opinions, they would slam the table and argue with each other.
The first time Mr. Zhu saw it, he nearly had a heart attack.
Fei Ru, who was putting on false eyelashes next to her, was not surprised: "They are just arguing about the plot, it will be over in a while."
Sure enough, after a while, Jian Li and Director Huang gradually calmed down and negotiated a result.
Jian Li hummed a song as she greeted Lao Zhu, then asked her assistant to go get some water.
Lao Zhu: "...Director Huang, this is..."
Director Huang took a sip of tea and said, "We are discussing it."
Even when arguing, Director Huang prefers to argue with sensible people.
There are some people who ask their agents to greet them as soon as they join the crew and ask if they can have more roles. Director Huang is too lazy to even argue and just wants to kick them out.
Is this the crew owned by you? Do you have to have cameras pointed at you the whole time?
One-third of the way through the filming, Jian Li received a call from Tao Xingjian.
Tao Xingjian said that he had arrived in Hengdian, but Hengdian seemed to have several gates.
Jian Li: "...Which door did you go to?"
Tao Xingjian reported his position.
Jian Li was speechless: "Don't you think it's wrong to stand there?"
Tao Xingjian: "I don't think there's anything wrong...it's just that there are a lot of people trying to chat me up."
Jian Li: "Please, go find the door of the extras, of course there will be a lot of people trying to chat them up!"
As she was talking, Jian Li heard someone on the other end of the phone enthusiastically asking Prosecutor Tao: "Handsome, have you signed with the company? Otherwise, I can give you a special contract with a script!"
Tao Xingjian didn't say anything, but the other party became even more enthusiastic.
"Really? In our play, you play the role of a pretty boy who seduces the heroine. I think you have great potential."
Jian Li's glasses curved into a crescent shape, and Tao Xingjian said hastily, "I'll take a taxi to find you."
Then he hung up the phone.
Jian Li held her stomach and laughed for a long time.
Director Huang was standing next to him, looking very annoyed: "Let me see how handsome he is later."
Being able to make such a talented and beautiful girl smile.
Tao Xingjian arrived at the place very quickly, but he did not go in directly. Instead, he booked a room in the hotel where Jian Li was staying. After washing up in the hotel, Tao Xingjian set off with satisfaction.
Jian Li asked her assistant to bring the person in, and the assistant brought the person in. Tao Xingjian stared at the other person for a while, and only calmed down when he saw Jian Li.
Tao Xingjian came under the name of friend, and this title made Tao Xingjian both disappointed and happy.
Finally he’s not a brother anymore.
Thinking back to when they first met, he took the initiative to ask Jian Li to call him brother. Looking back now, he really wants to go back and swallow those words.
Jian Li introduced him to Director Huang: "My friend, Tao Xingjian."
Director Huang took off his sunglasses, looked him up and down, and exclaimed: "Handsome guy, are you interested in acting in a show?"
Tao Xingjian: "...No, I'm not good at it."
Director Huang didn't stop: "You really don't want to act? Our play will definitely be popular in the future. If you come and act in it, you may even be able to break into the circle."
Jian Li screamed, "Don't mess with my play! There's no role for him!"
Director Huang: "Where is it not? Let me see, this is the place... I'll give him an extra show."
This scene is about the heroine who doesn't know the hero likes her yet, so she gets close to a wandering immortal, and the hero gets jealous. Director Huang thinks this could be a drunk scene, where the hero is extremely jealous, but the heroine is still dazed and doesn't know anything.
Tao Xingjian said with a headache: "Don't bother."
Jian Li: "He's 1.88 meters tall. What role can he play? He can't even fit into a painting!"
He's too tall, and we couldn't even frame him together with the other actors!
Director Huang said "oh" as if he suddenly understood something, and then he laughed secretly after a while.
Jian Li ignored her and pushed Tao Xingjian to see other parts of the crew.
Now that you are here, you should understand the setup of the crew, right?
Director Huang looked at the two of them with a sweet smile.
She still says she is a friend. If we are still friends in the future, she will eat the camera!
…
This time, Tao Xingjian came to visit the set and also to solve a case.
Jian Li asked him how long he would stay, and Tao Xing calculated the time and squeezed out five days.
Five days was enough time for Jian Li to take him around Hengdian.
There were many film crews in Hengdian, and many places were cordoned off. Because Jian Li had a work badge for "Star Bamboo Legend", other crews would let her in most of the time if they told her.
Jian Li shared with Tao Xingjian the surprise she felt when she first came here.
“Watching it on TV is completely different from standing by and watching it.”
Jian Li had seen the finished products of several of these crews in her lifetime, and now watching the production process again, she felt it was amazing. Even here, she ate more melons than anywhere else, and the melons in Hengdian were big and small, like a sea of melons.
Tao Xingjian was not very interested in the filming of the crew. When Jian Li was talking excitedly, his eyes were all on Jian Li.
Jian Li is not a very entangled person. Once she figures out something, she will be very determined most of the time.
It was like she couldn't solve the problem of love, so she just gave up.
Tao Xingjian was willing to return to the position of a friend, so Jian Li treated him as a friend.
Her desire to share was already overflowing, and now that she had found someone to listen to her, she immediately started talking nonstop.
After visiting several major attractions, Jian Li returned to the crew, only to hear that the crew needed a musician for the next show.
"It's time for the fight."
When playing the drums, Jian Li asked for the accompaniment of the pipa.
The musicians that Director Huang had found failed. When Jian Li arrived, they were discussing whether to not shoot this scene first, or to find a stand-in to do the gestures first and then make up for it later.
Tao Xingjian listened silently, and suddenly said: "I can play the pipa."
