I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 487 Extremes beget their opposites; things don't always go as planned.

But there are too many female celebrities who dislike Li Xunfang.

The revelation that she had dinner with different men did not cause any real harm to Li Xunfang. On the contrary, it garnered a lot of support from netizens. Some A-list actresses began to take action and responded to netizens' comments on their blogs.

Female celebrity A: [Five days, ten meals, every man was different. Even a fool could guess that her relationships with these male friends were anything but ordinary, right?]

As soon as this female celebrity spoke, her fans followed suit.

Some people use the guise of "freedom to make friends" to actually engage in "fishing" (manipulating relationships). Freedom to make friends doesn't mean there are no boundaries or limits. If they are truly good friends, why were they only photographed together on those few days, and why weren't they seen dining together regularly?

[This is obviously a bait-and-switch tactic. Is it only women who can detect a woman's subtle thoughts?]

[It's the 21st century! Surely men don't actually think this kind of behavior is normal? No wonder people are still being fooled; they're so stupid, they deserve it!]

A short while later, a female celebrity, B, also shared her opinion on this matter, subtly replying in the comments section: "Those who know, know; most people are just pretending not to."

Soon, female celebrities C, D, F... all expressed their opinions on this matter, and they were all condemning it.

These female celebrities are all top-tier stars, and their fan base is a huge force.

With the influx of fans, Li Xunfang's reputation plummeted overnight, with netizens condemning her as a scumbag who cheated on multiple men and toyed with men's feelings in order to become famous.

As the saying goes, things reach their extreme and then reverse. After three or four days of suppressed public opinion, suddenly, a bunch of supportive comments for her sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

【Please, why are there so many "male-loving sisters" here? Neither of them is married, and they don't even acknowledge being boyfriend and girlfriend; they're just in the early stages of getting to know each other. How does that count as "keeping a fish"? Did they eat your rice? Why are you being so nosy?】

I think this is like blind dating. Many people go on many dates over several days, then compare them and choose the suitable one to continue dating. This behavior is quite normal, right?

[6. Women who do this are scumbags, playing with men's feelings. If a man did this, you would only think he was promiscuous and wouldn't feel any belittlement.]

[Freedom to make friends, freedom to have feelings. Since we're not in a romantic relationship, why can't I eat with different people? This isn't a feudal society anymore; let's be more open-minded (smile)]

……

The incident involving Li Xunfang has been making headlines for five days, dominating the trending topics for five consecutive days.

Although this damaged her personal reputation, it also unexpectedly led her to break into the "bad girl" category, with many top fashion magazines extending invitations to her for photoshoots.

Li Xunfang's everyday outfits are also widely imitated.

In addition, many public accounts are analyzing Li Xunfang's "bad girl" style. As a top-tier female celebrity, her appearance is naturally beyond reproach.

Amidst fierce competition, Li Xunfang has carved out a niche for herself in the fashion industry, gaining recognition from numerous women's organizations who have invited her to participate in their events.

The fashion industry caters largely to women, with elements such as individual freedom, freedom to make friends, and freedom to dress being enduring trends.

For a time, Li Xunfang even became popular overseas, becoming a spokesperson for a certain image of freedom.

This transformation has amazed many celebrities who follow Li Xunfang.

When Chen Qin was resting in Jinli, she discussed this matter with them, and they all found it incredible.

"Ten years ago, a female celebrity who flirted with multiple men and behaved improperly would definitely have been blacklisted instead of having a smooth career in the industry."

Xiao Cheng said, "If the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, as long as they don't go too far morally, many people will turn a blind eye."

Moreover, some netizens have made a good point. In the past, male celebrities would use their romantic experiences as something to brag about, so why should female celebrities behave in a dignified manner and adhere to the old ways?
If this happened to a male celebrity, it wouldn't cause such a big fuss; netizens would just praise him for his emotional depth. I'm not an extremist, but society's treatment of men and women in matters of the heart is still too different.

Jinli said thoughtfully, "It is precisely because this kind of thing is more common among male celebrities and less common among female celebrities that Li Xunfang seized the opportunity and opened up a blue ocean market."

Chen Qin remarked with emotion: "Last year, many people thought Li Xunfang's career was over, but now it seems that not only has it not faded, but her career has also been revitalized, and she's receiving countless fashion opportunities."

Fashion and luxury goods are closely linked. She has excellent resources in the fashion industry and will likely soon be getting endorsements from luxury brands.

Luxury brands need to select spokespeople who have a sense of fashion.

If it weren't for China's stricter vetting of celebrities in recent years, especially for top-tier stars who must first have a strong influence in a certain industry to gather a large number of fans and gain official recognition,

Luxury brands have taken into account the enormous influence of A-list celebrities and have chosen them as spokespeople. Otherwise, according to their usual practice, they would have chosen spokespeople from among supermodels first.

Supermodels have a more avant-garde and pioneering feel, and they can also bring out the style of luxury goods.

Now that Li Xunfang has caught up in fashion resources and endorsement opportunities, how far is it from her return to the top?

A thoughtful look flashed across Jinli's eyes: "Those celebrities thought that revealing Li Xunfang's love history would ruin her efforts and subject her to abuse, but they didn't expect it to benefit her instead."

If they knew that these scandals could revitalize her career, those celebrities would probably rather endure the loss of trending topics on New Year's Day and remain silent.

The selection process for top-tier celebrities is rigorous; once they're chosen, they don't fade into obscurity so quickly.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily!

After expressing her feelings, Jinli immersed herself in the film crew again.

In the film crew, she not only had to film, but also mediated conflicts between villagers, experiencing their difficulties firsthand while performing.

Jinli already had some prestige due to her upright character, and her dedication to mediation further enhanced her acting skills.

Jinli's acting skills were already quite good, but now everyone thinks they've become even better.

Actors and other staff members in the film crew are not without discernment and can sense things.

They all noticed the changes in Jinli's acting skills.

"I feel more grounded in my performance now. I was already grounded to begin with, but now I'm completely immersed in it."

"Jinli's performance was superb. I think she deserves an award. I've never seen an actor portray a village official so well, as if he's lived in the village for decades!"

Whether an artist has acting talent or not is actually something that can be seen.

In the same scene, with the same lines and the same camera angle, the difference in acting skills can be seen through subtle changes in the actors' facial expressions and body movements.

If only Jinli were playing the village official, people might not have felt it so clearly.

But with so many people playing village officials, the performances of newcomers are not up to par. But there is also a performance by the experienced Xu Wenwen.
When Jinli's acting is compared to Xu Wenwen's, the difference in skill is immediately apparent.

Of course, as everyone knows, this isn't because Xu Wenwen's acting is bad.

Since joining the crew, Xu Wenwen has been diligent and hardworking. She is the most diligent in visiting the village chief, and she spends her weekends running errands in the village chief's office, constantly learning the village chief's mannerisms.

Her acting skills have improved significantly since the beginning.

Her performance was good, but in comparison, it made Jinli's performance seem even better.

Today's filming scene involves "poaching" talent.

As depicted in the script, the mural on the white wall in Chitang Village became a minor sensation through sharing on various social media platforms, attracting tourists from other places to take photos every day. Chitang Village itself is unique in its scenery; in addition to the outstanding mural, the village's nine ponds and thousand-year-old trees are also major attractions, and many tourists take a stroll after taking photos.

With more people in the village, the village becomes more vibrant, and various opportunities follow.

First, several more small shops opened in the village, and daily necessities became more abundant. Then, various ice cream shops, stationery and creative product shops, and ten-yuan shops all opened.

Next is the repair of the village roads. This part doesn't need to be filmed specifically; we can use footage of previous road repairs in Chitang Village.

The village roads have been renovated, making the ancient things look even more ancient, and tourists can enjoy a unique atmosphere while walking on the roads.

Just as a single spark can start a prairie fire, the village officials merely handed over a spark to Chitang Village, and the village burst into flames.

It's booming! It's really booming!

The villagers all rushed back from other places. Some went into business, while others, unable to afford to open a shop, became peddlers, going from street to street selling their wares. The village was thriving.

It was precisely because these young village officials governed Chitang Village so well that they aroused the jealousy of people from other villages, who tried every means to poach the village officials to their local area.

People from other villages think that if they bring these young village officials over, even if they can't transform into a tourist village like Chitang Village, the young village officials are willing to do practical work and have a keen eye for things!

Unlike those old village officials who only know how to smooth things over and never keep any of their promises, relying solely on their words to deceive people.

According to the script, Pond Village was very poor, and the village official was only appointed by lottery.

Now that the area has become more developed, village officials can't really make any money off the rules established because of past poverty.

But other villages are different.

Other villages are not as poor as Chitang Village, so they can offer better benefits to young village officials.

Some villages, though not as unique in scenery and location as Chitang Village, have been developed; for example, a garbage dump was built in one village.

Every time garbage is brought in from outside to be burned, a sum of money has to be given to the village. The village can make money from this garbage dump every year and live a comfortable life.

Sure enough, when people from other villages came to poach people, Wei Yaoyang, the village official played by Ma Mingqi, became extremely interested.

In reality, although Wang Hongdou and Ma Mingqi don't get along, in the script, Su Yue, played by Wang Hongdou, and Wei Yaoyang are quite compatible, both needing to be called upon to act.

Wei Yaoyang had privately contacted people from other villages a few times and felt that the welfare conditions offered by those villages were very good. He wanted to find a reason to transfer his village to them.

Once he's been on secondment for a while, and other villages get a few village official positions, he can naturally stay on.

But Wei Yaoyang is a man with ideas but no guts; to put it bluntly, he's just a paper tiger, capable of small things but incapable of big ones.

He had clearly made up his mind to go to another village to develop his career, but he was afraid to go alone, fearing that if he went to another village alone, he would encounter problems that he could not solve and would be bullied by the villagers.

But he dared not tell the people from other villages, fearing that he was not capable enough to go there.

Then he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

"If I switch jobs alone, I'll face risks. So why not add another person? If any problems arise that neither of us can solve, the villagers won't blame me entirely!"

So Wei Yaoyang frantically tried to persuade Su Yue, played by Wang Hongdou, to switch jobs with him.

Su Yue is lazy and a homebody. Unless she is assigned a task, she will not do any extra work. When she first heard that Wei Yaoyang wanted to switch jobs, she couldn't understand him.

In scenario A.

Su Yue was leisurely sipping her tea in her office when she heard Wei Yaoyang's purpose for coming. She gave him a complicated look and said bluntly:

"You've become addicted to being a village official, haven't you? Do you remember why we came here to be village officials? The purpose was to use this path to become a civil servant."

No matter where you become a village official, you are serving the people. Chitang Village is a poor and backward village. We have worked hard to help Chitang Village improve this year. This great achievement belongs to us. If you switch jobs now, this credit may not be attributed to you.

Don't be misled by the sweet talk and empty promises outside. Forget your true purpose. How can a village official stay in office for long? If the villagers don't like you, they can easily remove you from your post.

Wei Yaoyang's expression froze; he was stunned by what he was said.

He hadn't considered this issue before.

But he wasn't stupid either, and said, "There are four village officials in Chitang Village. It's impossible for all four of us to become civil servants, right?"

If we can lift up a poor and backward village like Chitang Village, then when we switch jobs to other villages, we can leverage our experience in helping Chitang Village to improve another village.

That's our achievement; since no one else is going to share it with us, we can probably smoothly transition into civil servants.

Su Yue was taken aback. She hadn't really thought about this question before. She frowned and said, "Let me think about it."

Wei Yaoyang recently wore a smug smile, stirring up trouble.

"Opportunity waits for no one. The villagers from other villages are very sincere in wanting us to come and help. They are offering twice the benefits of those from Chitang Village, not to mention various holiday subsidies."

It's just that Chitang Village has recently become quite popular, which has made people from other villages jealous. That's why they're thinking of poaching us. Once they realize what's going on, they might promote some of the young men from our village to do the job, which would save them time and effort.

We're all young people, and our ideas for Chitang Village aren't unique. If we can do it, why can't others?

"Cut!" Ye Weijie shouted "Cut!" after taking the picture.

The assistant director said, "Ma Mingqi and Wang Hongdou's acting skills have matured a lot recently, and they have made great progress compared to their initial performances."

Ye Weijie thought for a moment, "It must be because he followed Xu Wenwen to the village chief's office and studied diligently that he finally developed a bit of an official demeanor."

Jinli and Xu Wenwen were filming in Group B, but it wasn't a very important scene. The assistant director had finished filming half an hour earlier and then stayed in Group A to observe and learn from Director Ye's filming techniques.

After filming, Jinli and Xu Wenwen didn't go back; they stayed in Group A to watch Wang Hongdou and Ma Mingqi's performance.

The more Xu Wenwen watched Wang Hongdou's performance, the more satisfied she became.

"I reminded her a few days ago not to act so tensely, but to make her performance more like a lazy persona. Her performance was too tense."

Looking at him today, that lazy air came back to him, and the tea was brewed very well too. He's a promising student.

Jinli remarked, "Ma Mingqi's acting skills have also improved significantly. He still struggles to keep up with us in our scenes, but he connects very well with Wang Hongdou."

Xu Wenwen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Perhaps it's because his manager is here that he's been studying his acting skills more diligently and has become much more well-behaved."

Jinli asked in surprise, "His manager is still here? Doesn't his manager have to manage other artists?"

Jinli knew that Ma Mingqi's agent had come a few days after the supplementary contract was signed, and assumed that he would stay until now.

Xu Wenwen shook her head: "They came before and left, but came back yesterday, saying they want to stay in the film crew for a while."

Tomorrow is finally Friday! _(:з」∠)_
