Meals at star-rated hotels can be quite expensive.
And it tastes really good.
This is the first time a working-class person has encountered such a generous young star. The entire crew of three or four hundred people was treated to coffee for fifty yuan without hesitation, and boxed lunches for three hundred yuan per person were given out without a second thought.
Even if they're just putting on an act, they still take real action.
When taking the makeup photos, the photographer was very nice and gave Wen Li guidance on the poses. He would give her pointers if she didn't do well, and he would praise her endlessly if she did well. By the end of the day, Wen Li wondered if these people had been possessed.
Wenli told Xiaoxi about this.
Xiao Xi said, "Don't underestimate this amount of money. It's rare for celebrities to treat their staff to such expensive boxed lunches, so of course they're happy."
Who among the working class would be willing to spend 300 yuan per person on a boxed lunch?
Wen Li didn't give much, but it was enough for everyone to remember her kindness.
Wen Li seemed to understand, but not quite. That night, back at the hotel, she studied the script and lines even more diligently.
When it came time for the actual filming, Wen Li was well-prepared and impressed the director on the first day of shooting.
"The Truth" uses montage techniques, interweaving flashbacks and reality. Wen Li plays Ling Yu, who appears to be a law firm elite, but in reality, poverty and inferiority plagued her during her school years.
Ling Yu's father died in a car accident when she was three years old, and her mother became seriously ill. In order to pay for her mother's treatment, Ling Yu worked odd jobs in the kitchen while she was in school, and also took on several tutoring jobs. However, the money she earned was just enough for the living expenses of the mother and daughter.
However, Ling Yu's clothes were always stained with oil, and her hair was always messy, which made her unpleasant to look at.
Until the bully appeared, Ling Yu was pushed directly into the abyss.
The bullies started by verbally abusing Ling Yu, then stuffed snakeskin into Ling Yu's schoolbag, poured oil on Ling Yu's body while she was eating, and then covered her nose and said that she did not do it on purpose. Later, when Ling Yu resisted once, the bullies poured super glue on Ling Yu's head.
The bully reported Ling Yu for being a minor, and the hotel fired Ling Yu to protect itself. Even the tutoring jobs that Ling Yu had were lost due to the bully's involvement.
Because of her illness, Ling Yu lost her source of income and watched helplessly as her mother died painfully in her hospital bed.
Ling Yu's mentality gradually collapsed, and under the repeated provocations of the bullies, Ling Yu fought back.
Ling Yu's eighteenth year was not an ordinary summer. After the college entrance examination, Ling Yu had another life on his hands.
Twelve years later, eight bags of dismembered bodies were discovered in an old town by a ruthless vendor who stole gutter oil.
Thus began the nationwide sensation of a series of dismemberment murders.
Wen Li first plays the role of eighteen-year-old Ling Yu, wearing a school uniform covered in oil stains, with greasy hair and a shiny face, but her eyes sparkle with an indomitable spirit and a tenacity that shines from the bone.
The actress who acted opposite Wen Li was named Feng Yuexin. She was a popular second-tier actress who graduated from an art academy. Because she had been filming naive and sweet dramas, she urgently needed to change her image, so she played the bullying boss of Ling Yu. She was also the first dismembered body discovered at the beginning of the incident.
Wen Li got to know Feng Yuexin because when she was the spokesperson for the Huo Group, many fans felt sorry for Feng Yuexin. Wen Li saw this a lot and naturally remembered her.
Feng Yuexin originally wanted to play the female lead. After all, although Ling Yu's character eventually had to be brought to justice, from the perspective of the entire storyline, Ling Yu was the result of a lower-class person trying to fight against fate. As long as it was broadcast, it would definitely earn a lot of tears from the audience.
However, when she auditioned, she was immediately told that her age was not suitable.
Admittedly, actors need to be as close as possible to the age of the character they are playing, but Feng Yuexin never expected that the director would rather reject her than hire an unknown actress.
In particular, Wen Li gave her a hard time on her very first day. Before she could even make any move after joining the crew, Wen Li bought coffee and boxed lunches for the entire crew, making what she had prepared seem utterly inadequate.
What made her even more jealous was that Wen Li even had a separate rest room and dressing room, and even her own makeup team.
Seeing that her artist was feeling resentful, Feng Yuexin's assistant couldn't help but comfort her, saying, "Wen Li's family is wealthy, so these things are nothing to her. Besides, everyone really likes the things you prepared for the crew."
The assistant initially only wanted to offer some comfort, but the more she said that, the more resentful Feng Yuexin felt.
"But she doesn't even respect me. I'm a senior in the industry, and I've been acting for many years longer than Wen Li. So what if Wen Li is rich? How could a wealthy family allow their own child to embarrass her? It's obvious that she got this role by sleeping around!"
The assistant was shocked, realizing for the first time that her artist was so brainless.
The Wen family has repeatedly and publicly supported Wen Li online. Moreover, Wen Xingming is also involved in the entertainment industry. If the Wen family wanted to oppose her, they would have done so long ago.
"Sister, don't go around saying things like that," the assistant reminded her.
Feng Yuexin was a little unhappy and was about to lash out, but then she remembered that there were still many staff members around, so she glared at her assistant, snorted coldly, and said nothing.
I'm praying that celebrities won't do anything reckless during this time.
According to statistics, those who oppose Wen Li in the entertainment industry are either imprisoned or have been blacklisted.
Hopefully, Feng Yuexin is still thinking straight.
However, it is clear that in the long run, if one person dislikes another, they will be prejudiced and assume that the other person is wrong, even if the other person is just breathing.
On set, Wen Li had a good relationship with the director. Every night, the director would give Wen Li special instructions on her acting, and he would never yell at Wen Li when he yelled at other actors.
