I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 480: Solving the problem of actor's morality, the joint model of Pearl and Lotus is coming (asking for monthly ticket)
Amid the complaints from the new actors, Ma Mingqi's silence stood out.

Whenever something happened on the crew in the past, he was always the first to rush forward to express his opinions, wanting to show off his "excellence" at any time and anywhere.

Wang Hongdou and Ma Mingqi are used to bickering with each other. They can't stand each other, but they can't do anything about each other.

Seeing that Ma Mingqi was silent, Wang Hongdou spoke straightforwardly as always: "Ma Mingqi, have you signed the contract?"

Ma Mingqi lowered his head, thinking about something, and the chopsticks in his hand kept poking the broccoli on the plate, with a dull expression.

The first time Wang Hongdou asked him, he didn't respond.

The people around him heard it and pushed Ma Mingqi.

"Mingqi, Hongdou just asked you a question. She asked if you have signed the supplementary contract."

Ma Mingqi came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "No, the company is very strict, I haven't signed it yet."

"The company is strict?" Wang Hongdou was a little puzzled. "Aren't your company and Dahua the same company? Dahua has obtained the permission of her agent to sign, but you haven't got permission yet?"

Liu Dahua and Ma Mingqi are in the same company, both of which are small second-tier companies. They have some resources in the circle, but not many.

However, Liu Dahua's appearance is not as good as Ma Mingqi's, and her figure is a bit fat. The company signed her because they saw her comedic talent and thought she could become a comedian in the future.

Even if you can't act in a comedy, you can still show up on variety shows, as long as you are likable.

There are many kinds of variety shows nowadays. Not every variety show needs to have all beautiful women and all handsome men. Occasionally, some "ugly men" and "ugly women" are needed to adjust the atmosphere.

How does the saying go? As long as you are funny or talented enough, appearance doesn't matter.

Liu Dahua was sitting opposite Ma Mingqi. Hearing this, she asked curiously, "Has Luo Ge not replied to you yet? He said that this kind of contract is normal, but the penalty for breach of contract set by the crew of "Yonglu" will be higher and the terms will be more stringent. As long as there is no problem with your own moral character, you can sign it."

Wang Hongdou asked: "Brother Luo? Do you and Ma Mingqi have the same agent?"

Liu Dahua nodded and said, "Yes, it was Brother Luo who brought me and Brother Ma to the interview, and we were both selected by the director."

Ma Mingqi smiled, "Has Brother Luo replied to us? I was busy before and didn't pay attention to the WeChat message. I'll check it later."

After finishing his meal in a hurry, Ma Mingqi left the cafeteria on the pretext of going to the toilet.

No one else found it strange. Instead, Wang Hongdou, who had been arguing with Ma Mingqi, had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Strange, very strange.

Ma Mingqi is a little abnormal today.

On the other side, Ma Mingqi ran back to the B&B.

He took out the supplementary contract from his bag and read it over and over again. He always felt that some of the points in it were specifically supplemented for him.

"Actors cannot commit any illegal or criminal acts, including owing huge loans and damaging their credit..."

Ma Mingqi bit his lip. He wanted to borrow one million from his relatives yesterday!
Originally he was not going to write an IOU, but his father called him last night and told him that his relatives would not lend him money if he didn't write the IOU, so he had to write it.

But all investments have risks. If the investment fails and he doesn’t hide away in time, he is likely to be pursued by relatives for debt.

In addition to borrowing from relatives, he has also been borrowing from lending apps. He has already fallen behind on one loan and someone called to threaten him that if he doesn't repay the loan, his credit rating will be damaged.

Ma Mingqi ignored it. The damaged credit record would not affect his work, and as long as he didn't buy a house, everything else would be fine.

But Director Ye wrote in the contract that he would check the credit of each actor, and if there was any damage, it would be regarded as a breach of contract.

Ma Mingqi didn't want to go to this point. It would be too embarrassing if the director found out during the filming.

What would the other actors think of him then?

He hesitated for a moment, opened WeChat, clicked on the chat interface of his agent Luo Ge, and wanted to say something.

He typed a long paragraph, but finally deleted it all and made the phone call.

"Hello, Mingqi, what do you want to talk to me about? Have you signed the supplementary contract of your crew? You can sign it, but if you don't, you can't shoot." Luo Ge's voice came.

Ma Mingqi stammered, "Brother Luo, I took a photo of the contract for you. Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it, there's no problem. Now the crew is very strict about the personal ethics of actors. Don't even mention whether they have a criminal record. Even if there is none, if an actor says something inappropriate or does something inappropriate and is detained, it will affect the release of the crew."

Luo Ge said earnestly: "The crew did this to take a precautionary measure. As an actor, you should also protect your reputation.

I have a feeling that the drama "Yonglu" will be a hit once it goes online. You are the third male lead in the drama. If you are a little famous, you can get endorsements. The character clauses in those advertising contracts will be more stringent than those of the crew..."

Ma Mingqi interrupted him and said, "Brother Luo, it's not about this. I have something here. It's that there may be some problems with my credit..."

Jinli didn't know if Ma Mingqi was okay or what Director Ye was considering. She only knew that when the crew started filming in the afternoon, Ma Mingqi had already signed the contract and was filming normally in the crew.

The afternoon's role is to continue painting the walls. There's nothing much to say about it, just roll up your sleeves and get to work.

After working hard for an entire afternoon painting the wall under the winter sun, every actor's face was dirty and scratched by paint and wall dust.

Their clothes were also dirty and all stained with paint.

Finish work on time in the afternoon.

"Ma Mingqi, come here." Director Ye called Ma Mingqi before he finished packing.

The two went to a private place to chat alone.

Jinli did not stay and went straight to the cafeteria. Xiao Cheng followed her, but Chen Qin stayed to inquire about the news.

She talked to Sister Fang last night, and Sister Fang said that this was a key observation target, and the crew was likely to be exposed because of Ma Mingqi!
It would be fine if she wasn't in the crew, but since she was, she must have first-hand information.

"They stayed in there for a long time. I calculated it to be an hour and a half. It was completely dark when they came out."

In the evening, Chen Qin returned to the B&B and didn't even have time to eat dinner. She couldn't wait to share what she saw.

Jinli smiled and asked, "You're staring at them, don't they think you're weird?"

Chen Qin chuckled, "It shouldn't be strange. I was wearing a black down jacket and black pants. There was no one left in the crew at the time. Everyone had dispersed. When I saw them coming out, I immediately turned off my phone. They probably didn't see me."

She paused and whispered, "But I could see the light from their phone screens, quietly following them all the way."

Jinli asked curiously: "I remember there were street lights in that area. Are they not turned on?"

Chen Qin shook her head: "It's not time to start yet, half an hour away."

Jinli didn't know whether to say Chen Qin was lucky or that she had the potential to be a paparazzi. She actually followed someone all the way without being discovered.

Xiao Cheng asked curiously: "Sister Chen Qin, don't keep us in suspense, what are they talking about?"

Chen Qin: "Actually, I didn't hear it clearly. Director Ye has been teaching Ma Mingqi that people shouldn't pretend to be rich. People only have one life, so don't be too stubborn and suffer. He also said that it's better to cry poor. If you cry poor, no one will ask you to borrow money, which saves a lot of trouble..."

Jinli thought for a moment, "What Director Ye said to him was really sincere."

We have been shooting for half a month now, and it would be best if we could keep the cast.

Since Ma Mingqi dared to sign the contract, Director Ye had no reason to fire him. Otherwise, given Ma Mingqi's character, he is a green tea person who will take revenge for any slight, and it would not look good if the news got out.

But no matter what, Director Ye was still very worried that he would explode, so he talked to him alone again.

Jinli thought: "Director Ye will probably not just talk to Ma Mingqi, he will also contact Ma Mingqi's company. No matter what, the company has the obligation to discipline the artist.

Don’t think that if something happens to an artist, the company can’t escape responsibility. They still have to pay the compensation, unless the company doesn’t want to continue to exist.”

Maybe Ye Weijie really had some knowledge of metaphysics, and the village chief listened to what he said.

After that, the village chief felt that Ma Mingqi was too young, and since he refused to verify his capital, he rejected his investment.

In addition, Ma Mingqi's agent also showed up at the crew on the third day after signing the supplementary contract and asked Ma Mingqi to take an afternoon off to have a good talk.

Ye Weijie would never respond to others' requests for leave.

But as soon as Ma Mingqi asked for leave, he approved it immediately.

Because the review was too quick, rumors spread among the crew:

"Director Ye is optimistic about Ma Mingqi"!
When Ye Weijie learned about the rumor, his face turned green.

Forget it, it’s not bad to say it’s good, but it’s not the fourth tone of “watch”, but the first tone of “watch”.

Keeping an eye on Ma Mingqi and preventing him from doing anything naughty is what Ye Weijie has to do besides filming.
-
The internet celebrity check-in painting wall is finally completed!

On the day of completion, Yuan Xiaoxiao asked all the cadres to take photos and send them out through various official channels. She also called on the villagers to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.

The trend of murals in Chitang Village has not yet attracted tourists, but has instead attracted villagers from other villages.

The villagers of these villages saw the circle of friends of the villagers of Chitang Village and came to Chitang Village specifically to take a look.

They also saw the young village officials and felt a little jealous.

"Why don't we have any college student village officials assigned to our village? Look at how smart these college students are. With their help in publicity, the village will surely prosper."

"Yes, Chitang Village has been made presentable. Even the roads have been repaired and a monument of merit has been erected!"

"How about we poach them here? Our village is much richer than Chitang Village. As long as they are willing to work hard for our village, we can discuss welfare benefits!"

The villagers of Chitang Village are also admiring the murals. This beautiful scenery is very rare among the villagers. If someone touches it, they will be criticized by other villagers:

"What are you touching? Are you going to ruin your painting?"

When the villagers heard that people from other villages were trying to poach their talents, they immediately turned hostile and shouted:
"Four village officials were originally assigned, and all the villages near us held a meeting to discuss who would take over. Your village didn't want them, so our village was assigned one. Now you want to poach them. Is that reasonable?"

People from other villages also shouted back: "How good is your Chitang Village? You didn't want it at the time, so you agreed to draw lots. Whoever catches the turtle will take over as village official.

You were unlucky in Chitang Village and got caught. Now that you think these village officials are pretty good, do you want to deny your initial disdain for them?"

The villagers from both sides started to quarrel with each other, and the scene was very lively.

Ye Weijie was smiling while filming. For this scene, he only gave the villagers three lines, and they were all very short. They were all perfected and spoken by the villagers themselves.

Letting the villagers perform impromptu performances has a good effect.

Seeing that the assistant director was not filming, Jinli asked, "Where did Director Ye find the villagers? I don't think I've ever seen these villagers who are playing the roles of people from other villages."

All the people left in Chitang Village are elderly people. There are only a few of them who were chosen by the crew to film the movie. They see each other every day. Even if they don’t interact much, they are familiar just by looking at their faces.

The assistant director said with great joy: "The director was worried that people from the same village wouldn't be able to quarrel, so we invited people from other villages to act in these roles!"

Jinli was happy.

She thought it was acting, but now it seems that the scolding was quite sincere.

People from other villages are indeed jealous of Chitang Village. No wonder they curse so sincerely and even express their dissatisfaction.

Director Ye kept filming and felt that the local villagers and villagers from other villages were about to fight, and the situation was almost tense, so he immediately called in the village officials.

Yuan Xiaoxiao, played by Jinli, took the lead in smoothing things over and also offered some methods to improve the conditions in the village, and persuaded the villagers from other villages to leave.

While Jinli was filming, Qi Guan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian were also busy running announcements.

This time they stayed abroad for three days, and after returning home they immediately rushed to the company to prepare to participate in a new joint event.

This collaboration is not a milk tea collaboration, but a collaboration of game character figures. A certain game launched a new figure, which was modified based on the personal characteristics of Qi Guan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian.

Qi Guan Mingzhu’s exclusive figurine. The game developer specially designed a beautiful pearl hair accessory for a certain game character, and put on a cheongsam with pearl buttons, making her look like a delicate and soft beautiful woman.

The figurine designed for Ji Qinglian has a red lotus mark on the forehead of the game character, she is wearing green water sleeves, and she is sitting cross-legged on the green lotus platform. She is a cool and heroic female hero.

They were all pleasantly surprised when they got the co-branded samples in the company.

As a senior anime fan, Qi Guan Mingzhu looked at the figurine with a critical eye and nodded, "Not bad."

Ji Qinglian said with satisfaction: "Just looking at them is pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that I often go out for announcements and rarely use the workshop, otherwise I would like to put it in the workshop."

Zhang Guang was sitting in his office. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The game company attaches great importance to this co-branded figurine. The previous best-seller milk tea gave them strong confidence, and they set very high standards for every aspect of the mold."

Qi Guan Mingzhu asked: "How much inventory do they plan to release in the first batch?"

Zhang Guang: “20 pieces each.”

Qi Guan Mingzhu thought for a while and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's far from enough."

Zhang Guangxiao: "It's not enough to sell it alone, so we have to sell it in combination with a monthly pass, or by buying related game character skins.

The game company told me that if the figures make a lot of money, they would like to customize the game character skins for you."
