Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 46 If you want to play with flowers, you must know how to plan ahead

Beijing, Jimenli Community
Guan Yue helped Dong Xuan deliver the packed suitcases to the house rented by Yan Li, where the latter planned to live before leaving the capital.

Yan Li came out of the bedroom when he heard the noise, poured a glass of water for the two of them, and then said to Guan Yue.

"Take a break, don't leave in a hurry. Help her pack my luggage later."

"I owe you two."

Guan Yue was so angry that she almost splashed the water in the cup on Yan Li's face. It was fine to help Dong Xuan, they were good sisters, why should she help that bastard?

"Guarding the meal, I have researched a new delicious dish."

Thinking of Yan Li's craftsmanship, Guan Yue suppressed her anger and swallowed unconsciously.

"I...I'm simply doing this for the boss's sake."

Yan Li didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued to instruct Dong Xuan: "Don't bring too many clothes, especially a coat. It's almost October, and I think the temperature will drop when we get on set."

Guan Yue understood what was going on and looked at Yan Li in surprise: "Are you going too?"

"Of course."

Yan Li looked at her strangely. "This is her first time filming on set. She doesn't know anything and is all alone. I have to go and take care of her."

Mainly, Yan Li learned from the system that Dong Xuan was a little scared and especially hoped that Yan Li could accompany her, so he planned to go together.

It’s impossible to stay with you forever!

But ten days or half a month would be enough for Dong Xuan to adapt to the crew and stabilize her mentality, and then he would come back.

Dong Xuan hugged Yan Li with a happy face, but she was also a little annoyed in her heart.

I was so busy being angry at that vixen named Huang that I forgot to show off.

But it’s not too late now, it’s the same if I let Guan Yue pass it back.

So, Dong Xuan took the initiative to add: "In order to make time to accompany me, Yan Li was approached by a crew, but he turned down the second male lead and only played a small supporting role."

Yan Li retorted, "I just didn't like the second male lead, that's why I turned him down. It has nothing to do with you."

"Go, go, go."

Dong Xuan looked as if she was saying, "I know you men care about your reputation, I'll just do as you say, okay?"

Yan Li was helpless. It would be a lie to say that this matter had nothing to do with Dong Xuan, but the main reason was indeed that Yan Li did not like that role.

The crew they were talking about was the costume drama "Cornucopia" that Cheng Lidong, whom Yan Li had helped last time, was currently producing.

Cheng Lidong kept his promise and sent the script of "Cornucopia" afterwards, saying that Yan Li could choose any role except the male lead.

However, Yan Li discovered this after reading the script of "Cornucopia".

In this drama, apart from the male protagonist Shen Wansan, other important male characters are basically villains, whose role is to set off the protagonist.

Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Bancheng should have the most roles.

One is a sworn brother, but he is jealous of the protagonist's talent and becomes his enemy; the other is his rival from beginning to end, being despicable and shameless in every way.

However, Cheng Lidong hinted that Su Bancheng wanted an older actor, so only Zhu Yuanzhang was left.

But Yan Li was not impressed by the plot and setting of this role.

Zhu Yuanzhang was, after all, the founding emperor of a dynasty. However, in the play "Cornucopia", he was portrayed as a narrow-minded, profit-seeking villain with no imperial spirit. The gangsters in "Conquest" had more charisma than him.

Previously, when he was on the set of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", Yan Li was disgusted by the scene where Yuwen Chengdu was queuing.

This also left Yan Li with a certain psychological trauma, and he was very resistant to this kind of role that extremely vilified historical figures.

After testing the possibility that the crew of "Cornucopia" would make major changes to the script, and because his schedule with Dong Xuan overlapped, Yan Li simply skipped Zhu Yuanzhang and chose Song Dian, a supporting role with not many scenes.

This is also a villain, and the plot and setting are equally unpleasant, but it is an original character.

This is also Yan Li's attitude. He has no objection to playing villains, and he's not afraid of bad plots and characters, but he won't shamelessly destroy the original characters. He can't stop some things, but he can prevent himself from becoming an accomplice.

Of course, Yan Li also had to admit it.

The drama "Cornucopia" did not trigger any future intelligence, and the script was rough and the production team was mediocre, which made Yan Li feel that the drama would either flop or become popular.

So she wasn't too enthusiastic and chose to take the role purely to maintain her friendship with Cheng Lidong.

With the two dramas "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Conquer" as a foundation, and having successfully arranged for Dong Xuan to play the female lead in "Snow Goddess Dragon", and with smooth progress in the stock market, Yan Li was able to support himself, which made him more and more confident.

Therefore, he no longer took any role he could get, regardless of whether it was a vegetarian or a foodie, as he did during the period of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", but started to "be selective".

Again, acting in one popular play is equivalent to acting in several or even a dozen ordinary plays.

Ordinary actors have no choice but to not know which drama will make them popular, so they can only try their luck by acting in more dramas. Yan Li has a system and can develop targeted strategies, naturally taking the cost-effective route.

However, in Dong Xuan's opinion, these were all Yan Li's "lazy excuses" and he was actually doing it for his own benefit.

He loves me so much!

Even Guan Yue was misled by her and felt that Yan Li was now hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and she even began to envy her best friend for the first time.

Although this bastard had made mistakes before, he corrected them afterwards and became much more mature. He said that he would not get back together, but in fact he had all kinds of plans for Dong Xuan, which was better than most of the boyfriends of her friends.

At this moment, Yan Li also thought of something and stabbed Guan Yue in the heart again.

"How are you and Tong Dawei doing?"

Guan Yue: “…”

Dong Xuan couldn't help but secretly pinch Yan Li and told him to stop talking about things that were not related to the topic.

Just this month, Tong Dawei's benefactor, Boss Shi, was formally arrested by relevant departments.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Once he went in, many gossip scandals about him began to spread, and Tong Dawei was also involved.

Although Tong is not very famous now and has not been targeted by the media, there are various rumors that Boss Shi likes to promote young male artists and has a close relationship with them. How could Guan Yue not think too much about it? The relationship between the two, which was originally on the verge of success, has also come to a standstill.

"Well, well, it's not easy for young artists in this industry. There are times when they can't control their own destiny. That guy is a good person, so I advise you to be cautious."

Yan Li still spoke well of Tong Dawei. Apart from anything else, he was indeed very sincere towards Guan Yue.

This was not only seen by Yan Li, but also obtained from the system intelligence. Tong really likes Guan Yue.

Now that Boss Shi is also in jail, this guy won't be involved too much, so he can get rid of his constraints in the future. In addition, he has a good future, so it would be a pity to let him go.

The most important thing is that if I can give him a helping hand at this time, and provide him with timely assistance, he will owe me a big favor.

If anything goes wrong between him and Dong Xuan in the future, he can also persuade Guan Yue through him to help him smooth things over.

As the saying goes, it is better to be cautious before doing something good. It is better to consider some things in advance than to cram at the last minute.

When Yan Li tried to persuade her, Dong Xuan would definitely stand beside him and follow his lead.

She also had a good impression of Tong Dawei. She thought he was a very honest man and was very good to Guan Yue. It was a pity that they broke up.

Dong Xuan even thought of herself. If she and Yan Li had separated completely in a fit of anger, she might have fallen prey to some vixen, and there would be no sweet life they have now.

"I'll think about it again."

Guan Yue said in a muffled voice that when Yan Li and Huang Shengyi were hugging and kissing each other, she urged Dong Xuan to break up. Now that the matter has fallen on her head, it would be strange if she could easily get over it.

Even thinking about this made Guan Yue angry. Some things are afraid of comparison.

No matter what Yan Li said, the person he cheated with was a woman, and one of the most beautiful girls in Beijing Film Academy. From a certain perspective, this proved that this man was a hot commodity.

But Tong Dawei... She really didn't know how to describe her feelings...
