I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 453 Bai Jiang takes the initiative to show goodwill
Mr. Qi’s death was just the beginning.

The first to suffer was the second oldest brother, Qi Hong. He had listened to his eldest brother and sold all his stocks, gaining tens of millions in liquid funds, which he invested all in the stock he liked.

Qi Hong had a good idea. This stock would be his last investment in the next few months. He would redeem all the stocks after making money and save some working capital for himself.

But on the day Mr. Qi died, the stock that Qi Hong bought was shorted by several major institutions, which invested billions of dollars.

Qi Hong's funds were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of billions of funds, and could not make even a single splash.

He watched with his own eyes as tens of millions of funds on the account turned into millions, and his blood pressure rose with anxiety.

And this was just the beginning. In just three days, this stock was investigated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission for financial fraud and was to be included in the ST sector!

The stock price, which had been stabilized with great difficulty, fell again, and Qi Hong watched helplessly as his funds decreased from millions to hundreds of thousands.

At this time, he went to borrow money from his eldest brother again, but found that his eldest brother had no money left and needed to fill the tax hole of the company, so he asked him to come up with money.

Qi Hong had no money to give him and fled overnight.

He was used to living a life of extravagance, so how could he spend just a few hundred thousand dollars?
He was unwilling to give up, so he sold all his shares and went all in to buy other stocks, hoping to turn things around in one fell swoop.

However, his good luck in stock trading seemed to have disappeared from him. He lost money on everything he bought and soon he was left with nothing.

So he started to take out loans from major platforms. Because he had a good credit before, he was able to get out millions of dollars. However, he ended up throwing it all into the stock market and lost it all.

The platforms were frantically collecting debts, and some small platforms even sent people to collect the debts personally. While hiding from the debt collectors, Qi Hong accidentally got into a car accident and died on the spot.

Big brother Qi Zhan is not much better.

After his father died, the companies under his name were repeatedly involved in tax fraud and were investigated by law enforcement agencies. Not only did he have to pay a maximum fine of three times the amount, he also faced imprisonment.

Qi Zhan was dissatisfied and hired a lawyer to defend himself, arguing that these taxes were incurred during his father's tenure and had nothing to do with him.

But in addition to tax issues, his company also had many problems, involving some officials who committed serious violations of laws and disciplines and were sentenced to 20 years in prison in court.

Qi Zhan still refused to accept it, so he drank a lot of wine that night, walked to the rooftop in a daze, and jumped to his death.

As for the third son Qi Thor, he quickly transferred his assets and preserved most of his wealth before the Qi family ship sank. He also successfully completed the immigration process and bought a plane ticket to go abroad.

But on the day he boarded the plane, a mentally ill guest in the airport's VIP lounge suddenly went crazy. He took out a small switchblade he carried with him and regarded Qi Thor as his enemy.

The guest grinned and stabbed Qi Thule dozens of times, and Qi Thule died on the spot! -
When Jinli returned to the crew, it had been a month since she left.

Director Chu's suggestion of a half-month break is still too conservative.

In order to allow the male and female protagonists to better integrate with the special effects motion capture equipment, he spent nearly a month training them.

I left the crew at the end of October, and when I returned, it was already the end of November.

On the day she returned to the crew, she heard about the ending of the Qi family from director Ye Weijie. Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng also heard it and kept sighing with emotion.

Chen Qin: "They may have really offended the gods. I have never seen a family fall so quickly. It was over in less than a month."

Xiao Cheng nodded repeatedly: "God is watching what we do. The Qi family must have done a lot of bad things. This is retribution."

Jinli was not interested in the ending of the Qi family, but was more interested in Chitang Village, and urged Ye Weijie to set the scene quickly.

"I'm back on the set of Dawn this time. I don't have many scenes to play, and we might be able to finish filming in less than a month. I want to join your crew as soon as possible."

Ye Weijie asked: "I'm rushing to set up the set, so you can join the crew seamlessly, but why are you in such a hurry?"

Jinli: "After finishing filming your drama, I plan to turn down all announcements and concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination next year."

She thought about it and said, "Maybe you can move forward with this drama and wait until I finish the college entrance examination next year?"

Ye Weijie shook his head quickly: "No, no, this drama has been in preparation for too long and can't be postponed any longer. If we delay, something might go wrong. I'm afraid if we continue to postpone it, we might not be able to get the Chitang Village location."

"You don't know, since the Qi family's pond was returned to the village, some tourists have noticed the Pond Village. A few bloggers have also come to check in, edited it into a video and posted it online, which has become a small hit."

"If I hadn't blocked some news in advance, those bloggers would have revealed that Chitang Village is the filming location for your next drama. By then, your fans would have flocked to it, and I don't think you would even be able to continue filming."

Jinli smiled and said, "Since it's hard to push, let's quickly set up the scene so we can finish the shooting as soon as possible."

Ye Weijie: "Okay, Chitang Village is cooperating with the crew now, there shouldn't be any problems."

After hanging up the phone, Jinli went to watch Xu Ting and Bai Jiang's performance.

She didn't have any scenes in the morning and would not be filming until the afternoon, but she hadn't been back to the crew for a month. She didn't know how the male and female leads handled the special effects, so she came to take a look.

After nearly a month of training, Jinli discovered that the two of them were becoming more and more adept at motion capture.

Maybe it was because they hadn’t seen each other for a month, she felt that both of their acting skills had improved to a certain extent.

However, Director Chu's attitude towards the two actors seems to be stricter than in the past.

Just from what she saw, Director Chu got angry with the two leading actors twice that morning, and both times he loudly told them to concentrate, not to be distracted, and to perform the movements properly.

In the past, when Chu Chenliang was filming, there were rarely any loud shouting or yelling scenes.

If an actor performs incorrectly, I will communicate with him first and give him good guidance.

But this time, Director Chu omitted the communication process.

But it has to be said that this attitude is more applicable to the two leading actors, as they perform better every time under high pressure.

Xu Ting and Bai Jiang were very focused on their acting and only discovered that Jinli had returned to the crew after filming was finished.

Bai Jiang happened to meet Jinli's eyes and took the initiative to greet her.

"When did you come back? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Jinli: "I came back this morning. I haven't been to the crew for a month. I went to another place to study in seclusion."

Bai Jiang seemed to have thought of something, and said jokingly: "Yes, I remember that my assistant would follow your study live broadcast whenever he was free. He also used it to spur me on, saying that since you work so hard every day, I should work harder too."

Jinli was a little surprised. She felt that Bai Jiang's attitude seemed to be friendlier towards her?

Bai Jiang continued, "I have also followed your live broadcasts several times and watched the math mind maps you summarized. I am studying the content of the first year of high school, and the knowledge points you summarized are very useful."

Jinli was even more surprised this time, "Do you also want to take the college entrance examination?"

Bai Jiang shook his head: "No, I'm a graduate of a prestigious university, there's no need for me to take the test again. I just think doing some math problems can help me train my thinking. Didn't you mention a method of training my imagination before? I'm trying it now."

Jinli recalled that she had mentioned this method, but it was just a casual remark and she herself didn't know if it would work.

She also believes that the method of doing questions in the mind she mentioned exercises memory and logic more than imagination.

Jinli didn't want to mislead the students, so she quickly expressed her thoughts.

Bai Jiang didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Jinli said sincerely: "My imagination should be innate. There are many scenes that I can preset in my mind in advance, and I can also think of many details.

The method I mentioned is just that I want to squeeze out time to study. Even if I really practice according to this method, it should only improve my logical thinking ability, not my imagination. "

Bai Jiang said embarrassedly: "I'm just trying it out. I thought maybe it would be useful to me."

Jinli said kindly: "How about this, we add each other as friends, and if I see a video that can train my imagination, I'll recommend it to you?
Sometimes, serious training of imagination is useless, but some methods provided by folk masters are very effective. "

Take herself as an example, when she comes into contact with knowledge outside of her discipline, she usually watches videos, both long and short.

Maybe she is lucky. Every time she goes online to watch videos, what she sees are her favorites and the knowledge she needs to know.

Many bloggers who share knowledge are not professionals in that field, but their views are very insightful. The unconventional approach can get straight to the core essence and explain in a simpler and more straightforward way.

Bai Jiang immediately said, "I'll add you after I finish filming. You can recommend me some videos related to acting. I think there are many things I need to learn."

The crew came over and told Bai Jiang to get ready for filming, and then Bai Jiang stopped talking to Jinli.

When Jinli turned to leave, she noticed a very obvious malicious intent on the side. She turned around and saw Xu Ting whispering to her new assistant.

She raised her eyebrows, not feeling surprised, and slowly walked out of the filming site.

After walking outside, Xiao Cheng and Chen Qin who were following behind her immediately started gossiping.

Chen Qin looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she asked in a low voice: "Why did Bai Jiang's attitude change so much after coming back this time?"

Xiao Cheng nodded: "I don't spend much time on the crew, but every time I come to the crew with Sister Jinli to film, Bai Jiang and Xu Ting basically don't talk to Sister Jinli during their breaks."

Chen Qin said what was in her heart: "It's normal not to talk to her. Sister Jinli often holds a book in her hand in the crew, either reading or doing exercises. If I talk to her, I think it will affect her studies. Not disturbing her is the best way to get along with her."

Jinli said "hmm", "Bai Jiang has no ill will towards me."

She could sense from the moment she joined the crew that Bai Jiang was neutral towards her but very friendly to Xu Ting.

When she had a conflict with Xu Ting, Bai Jiang's attitude remained neutral, but she felt that Bai Jiang would sooner or later side with Xu Ting, so she didn't care about him and didn't put much effort into maintaining their relationship.

After all, they would be filming together for several months, and Jinli would be happy if she could have a better relationship with the actors in the crew.

This way, you can chat occasionally while waiting for filming, and the atmosphere in the crew can be more relaxed, without being so tense all the time.

Xiao Cheng asked: "Then why did he suddenly start talking to Sister Jinli?"

Jinli couldn't figure it out. It couldn't be that because his relationship with Xu Ting had deteriorated, he wanted to have a better relationship with her?
Thinking about it this way, she was actually amused by the idea.

Bai Jiang is not a three-year-old child. He is no longer at the age where he needs a companion. Moreover, he is the male lead in the crew, and she, a supporting role, has few roles, so there is no need for him to please her.

Chen Qin said suspiciously: "It's impossible that he thinks Sister Jinli's acting is good, so he wants to get close to Sister Jinli and learn more from her, right?"

Everyone also thinks this is unlikely because Bai Jiang doesn't look like a male celebrity who is very studious.

Little did she know that Chen Qin's guess was exactly what Bai Jiang wanted.

He wanted to have a good relationship with Jinli, really because of Jinli's acting skills!

After the stagehand called him, Bai Jiang came to the position that Guang Tai had reserved for him. Xu Ting stood on his right side, her lips moving slightly as if she wanted to say something. However, the next second, Director Chu's clapboard sounded:

"3, 2, 1, Action!"

The expressions of the two men instantly became serious as they stared at a large dinosaur doll in front of them. This doll will later be processed into a powerful boss.

Xu Ting was completely unable to muster up any nervousness in front of the dinosaur doll, but Bai Jiang next to her was very serious and acted with some effort.

Whenever Xu Ting glanced at Bai Jiang from the corner of her eyes, she would involuntarily become solemn and follow his instructions.

A few seconds later, Director Chu suddenly shouted, "Bai Jiang, Xu Ting, if you two are in danger, hide behind the iron pillars!"

Bai Jiang took action immediately, and Xu Ting was a little slow and had to catch up quickly.

Fortunately, Xu Ting was already some distance away from Bai Jiang, so her slow reaction was not noticeable.

Director Chu gave several instructions for changing locations in succession, which required higher performance abilities from the actors and required very rapid emotional switching.

Bai Jiang reacted the fastest and took it every time. Xu Ting gritted her teeth secretly, not wanting to collapse, but forced herself to take it.

"Crack!"

After finishing this scene, Xu Ting quickly walked to the camera to check what she had just filmed. For several moments her mind was blank and she didn't know what expression she would have.

But after watching it, she was somewhat surprised to find that the effect was unexpectedly good.

Bai Jiang also came over to check his performance and asked the director if there were any parts that were not filmed well.

Director Chu said with satisfaction this time: "You handled it very well and gradually adapted to the rhythm. Xu Ting also handled it well this time and was completely motivated by you."

Xu Ting felt a little uncomfortable because Director Chu gave all the credit to Bai Jiang.

Although in the performance just now, she did subconsciously look at how Bai Jiang performed first.

Xu Ting said, "Director Chu, why did you arrange so many extra scenes at the last minute this time? Didn't you shoot them one scene at a time in the past?"

Chu Chenliang said calmly: "It will take you a while to adapt to the motion capture special effects device. In order to speed up the progress of the crew, I plan to use this method to shoot more shots and save time."

He added: "You guys need to adapt as soon as possible, I will add extra scenes temporarily in the future."

Bai Jiang nodded, he was fine.

Xu Ting wanted to say something, but Director Chu's words were reasonable. If she didn't accept them, wouldn't it seem that she was incompetent?
So she didn't say anything in the end.

After this scene, the crew went to have dinner, and Xu Ting walked up to Bai Jiang on purpose.

She said in a normal tone with a slight smile: "It seems to be the first time I saw you take the initiative to greet Jinli, and you were chatting happily."

The fact that the Qi family fell apart so quickly was an artistic creation of the novel, and there was a bug in the fact that Qi Zhan was sentenced to twenty years in court. Generally speaking, the legal process of a court hearing cannot be completed within one month.

ps: Just as I was writing to this point, I realized that there is some knowledge that I have never known before. I will check it out and share it with you.

1) The first instance verdict is pronounced in court, and usually the defendant will not be imprisoned on the same day. The first instance verdict needs to go through a 10-day appeal period (starting from the day after receiving the verdict). If the defendant or the procuratorate does not appeal/protest, the verdict can only be executed after it becomes effective.

2) The inclusion of stocks in the ST (Special Treatment) category is a risk warning mechanism in the A-share market for listed companies with abnormal conditions. Its core purpose is to remind investors to pay attention to risks.

Common reasons for being listed as ST: 1. Abnormal financial indicators, negative net profit and negative net assets for two consecutive fiscal years. 2. Operational risks. 3. Audit issues. 4. Other major violations.

PS2: I have a very deep impression of this ST stock. You know Suning.com, right? It was still a normal stock when I bought it several years ago. I didn’t check it for a while then, and Suning.com became a ST stock... I was so upset.

I never thought that a good company could become ST. It's so unexpected.
