Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 175: The Time Pie, More Valuable Than the Best Actress

November 10th, early in the morning.

When Lao Li was leaving, Da Meiyuan got in the car and started to put on makeup. "Brother Yu, I'm just going there to broaden my horizons and get to know Xiao Tong."

"I'm curious about what she's like. Just treat me as invisible."

Two more days passed, and the Goblins' dominant massacre dominated all small screens.

The first episode of the Taiwanese drama premiered on the evening of the 6th, with a starting viewership rating of 12%, which shocked the entire country.

This once again caused netizens from outside the Great Firewall, such as those from Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, to start attacking their own TV stations, as well as Taiwanese netizens.

A group of creators began to gain popularity on the Weibo version outside the Great Firewall.

Old Li was speechless. "I'll send a text message to Xiao Tong to remind her that she's very beautiful now and doesn't need any makeup."

Da Meiyuan continued to put on her makeup with great concentration. "What's there to remind me of? I'm the third one, and she's also the third one. Dong Li and I are quite familiar with each other."

Da Meiyu has seen a lot of beauty pageant photos and so on.

Isn't this something we haven't encountered much in real life?

But Lao Li began to take the initiative to express his views, and Jiang Shuying, Megan, and Liu Shishi all chose their own future.

Da Meiyu is also very curious about Xiao Tong.

Old Li still didn't say anything. After chatting via text message for a while, he started the car and set off.

When he arrived at the residential complex near Beijing Film Academy, while still wearing a hat and mask in the car, he unexpectedly saw Shang Jing, Yan Nei, Sha Yi, and Jiang getting out of the car carrying gifts.

They also made a simple disguise.

This is a group of people who became popular (Stories of the Kitchen Team).

Lao Li smiled and said, "Since it happens, I might as well go and say hello. Director Shang has been preparing for (Wulin Wai Zhuan) for 11 months, and there's still a lot to wait."

Li Wei is almost 15 years old, and her acting skills have improved even more than Nazha's.

But she is still far from the original Mo Xiaobei, and we don’t expect her to be able to display the original’s strength. It is already good enough that she can pass the test in "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and not be out of character.

The original version was so good.

But because the show was too good, some of the naughty characters instead caused a lot of dislike among fans and received all kinds of negative comments.

Relatively speaking, with Nazha and Li Wei's looks, it is easier for them to be tolerated by ordinary audiences when they play the roles of annoying and trouble-making children.

Da Meiyuan nodded happily, "Yes, you considered me for the role of Xiao Tong back then. I just need to mess around in the courtyard every day."

As long as Lao Li respects her, he is full of emotion and physical strength.

At her age, she is a queen, so everything is fine.

She is not short of money, and her advertising endorsements are not as exaggerated as those of Li Jiaxin, Zhang Bozhi and the newly rising Liu Shishi.

With the annual beauty pageant and the bonus from the work, it is still possible to earn one million per year from one endorsement.

The income from an endorsement is equivalent to the wealth that an ordinary person would find difficult to save in his entire life.

When the two got off the car, Lao Li directly called out to Director Shang, and Shang Jing and his group, who were not far away, also quickly ran over to say hello.

Except for Shang Jing, who had met Lao Li many times and discussed many projects with him, the others were only met once during an interview when Shang Jing recommended them.

Yan Ne, Sha Yi and others were very nervous and uneasy, fearing that one of them would be replaced if he performed poorly.

At this stage, after working on a role for a year and not even starting filming, and not knowing how many months it will take to start filming, is this a rip-off?
Of course it’s a pit!
But look at Wang Jiawei's movies, how many actors have been stuck in the same job for years? But when Wang Jiawei recruits people next time, there are still a lot of people scrambling to get them.

Not to mention Li Wenyu. The influence of the King of Sunglasses is ten thousand times less than that of Old Li.

Not to mention the repeated delays, Time Media paid them three times the salary when they first signed the contract.

Also, from My Love from the Star to Dark Glory, The Big Bang Theory, and the recently popular drama Goblin!
Time has repeatedly proven their terrifying creativity and vision in the field of TV dramas.

Squid games are popular before they are even aired, at least they are incredibly popular within the circle.

Therefore, for a not-so-famous screenwriter, Li Wenyu personally set the screenwriter's salary for the 60-episode sitcom at 2 yuan per episode more than a year ago, totaling 120 million yuan for the entire series.

This is the best in China.

I won’t talk about Yan anymore. Before joining this group, he was only an 18th-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry!
Sha Yi and Jiang Hong are still third-rate in front of Lao Li.

Old Li smiled and started, "Are you here to visit Xiao Nazha and Li Wei? You could get to know them better beforehand and develop a rapport."

"Before, it was mainly because they were too young and inexperienced that they had to undergo special training."

"On the contrary, Xiao Tong plays Guo Furong, so there is no need to worry about her poor acting skills."

Although Tong Liya was able to play the leading female role in (Squid Game) easily, it was because he borrowed more than ten points of attributes to help her out.

But with her acting skills of over 65, she is no worse than Yao Dazui in sitcoms. At most, she will waste some more shots.

Besides, Tong Liya had been preparing for the role of Guo Furong for more than half a year in advance. The more she practiced and immersed herself in a single role, the more effective her performance would be.

Shang Jing hurriedly smiled and said, "No, she's definitely not bad. Sister Tong has even starred in the Squid game. It was a project you personally took charge of. If she wasn't up to standard, you wouldn't have used her."

Everyone in the industry knows that the projects controlled by Li Wenyu are high-quality dramas.

Just like Nazha and Li Wei, they didn’t start filming until they had completed a year of training.

Now that Goblin is a huge hit, Liu Shishi worked hard for one or two years to play the leading female role, but her acting skills were too poor and she was almost replaced before filming started.

I don’t know how many female celebrities are jealous of this. You really should change.

If you're really passed over because you're not strong enough, then that's going to be someone else's chance, right?
Quality control on such a large project.

No matter inside or outside the circle, as long as you have the title of Li Wenyu, you can basically guarantee a good reputation and good audience appeal!

Li Wenyu recommends talented and capable people, whose awards are almost more valuable than any other major awards in the film and television industry.

At least from the Hong Kong Film Awards to the Taiwan Film Awards' Golden Horse Awards, and the mainland's Hundred Flowers Awards and Golden Rooster Awards, there have all been Water Emperors and Water Queens, but Li's film and television dramas have never been a big hit.

I don’t know how many performing artists have praised Pang Bing’s acting skills in big popcorn movies like “The Shallows”.

Yan and the others were also quick to flatter.

No one is worried that Tong Liya’s acting skills are not good enough. They are worried that this Sister Tong will become a big hit because of the early broadcast of Squid Game.

Then there are the worries that they might act like big shots, be difficult to serve, or kick someone out of the crew if they don't like them.

But no matter how worried they are, no one will say anything nonsense.

After a while, the group chatted and laughed until they arrived at the floor where Li Wei and Nazha, the mother and daughter, lived. Everyone exchanged pleasantries when they met.

Old Li observed again in a polite manner. Li Wei's acting skills were (51/100), while Nazha's acting skills were only (36/100)!
The last time he checked was in May five months ago. At that time, Tong Liya's acting skills were only 5, and a long summer vacation had passed.

All we can say is that Li Qi works harder. She is older and more mature, and understands a lot of things in the adult world.

This little Li was born in an ordinary working-class family with an average environment. Her parents definitely knew how terrifyingly capable of getting rich quickly the younger generations, from Yang Mi to Liu Shishi, had become.

In order to achieve a leap in family class, her parents will educate her well and sincerely.

Nazha is still too young.

During the adolescent growth period, a two-year age difference may mean the difference between a naughty child, a rebellious child, and a precocious child.

After one year of one-on-one training with a dedicated person, he was able to improve to 36? This is the same level as Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying when they first started playing supporting roles or performing in dramas.

Li Wenyu sighed again, "Director Shang, Yan, when you have time, take Li Wei to different crews more often. The company will cover all travel expenses. At her age, she hasn't seen the real world and it's easy for her to become like a flower in a greenhouse." "Naza, don't worry. Study hard. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"You've all worked so hard for so long. You can visit the company anytime, take photos with your idols, give them gifts, etc."

It is almost mid-October, and the Time Media Building, which has been under construction for nearly two years, is getting closer to being put into use.

The media headquarters is still a bit crowded now, and it is still crowded as new floors are constantly being rented.

The main reason is that the more famous stars there are, the more their teams of agents, assistants and bodyguards will have to expand.

The new headquarters is much more luxurious after it was put into use. It has fifteen floors above ground and three floors underground, which not only serve as a parking lot but also include a large cafeteria.

Food, accommodation and work are integrated.

By then, many celebrities will come to him as their boss, and their food, accommodation and accommodation will all be provided in the company, which will make it easier to protect their privacy than staying in hotels or courtyard houses outside.

As the world's king of hackers, he has built a Skynet system, a firewall, and so on, making him a powerful T0.

After a brief chat, he went upstairs.

When they arrived at Tong Liya's house, Xiao Tong was still embarrassed to see Da Meiyu. His expression and tone were a bit complicated when he greeted her and called her sister.

Da Meiyuan looked him up and down for a few times, and even took a few selfies with Xiao Tong before jokingly saying, "I understand Lao Li's choice. You look amazing after whitening your skin."

"Do you want to guest-star as a rebellious girl in the film (Perfect Stranger) directed by Sister Bingbing?"

"This project features seven main characters, all of whom are superstars. The only character who is particularly youthful is the rebellious girl."

Xiao Tong looked at Lao Li in surprise and nodded happily, "If Sister Bingbing doesn't mind me, I will definitely go."

Aren’t newcomers afraid of being excluded and bullied?

Sister Yuanyuan is so friendly and open-minded that she even wants to pull her to win the favor of Pang Bing.

I can only say that he is worthy of being the elephant brother whom she likes to praise so much.

Xiao Tong asked curiously again, "Goblin is really popular now. I haven't even made my debut yet, but I've already been voted one of the Four Beauties of Time by netizens."

"Is there a second season of Boss Squid Game?"

She had filmed the show before, so of course she knew that the heroine she played died miserably at the end of the first season. This was simply because of the popularity of Goblin, which led to great expectations for the first season of Squidward Idol.

Just be curious again.

Li Wenyu laughed. "We haven't considered a second season yet. We'll see. Squid Games is mainly helping you expand your overseas market reputation and gain audience appeal."

"In the mainland market, it's still better to play "Wulin Wai Zhuan Guo Furong" to help you gain an invincible health bar."

From the beginning of this version, the screenwriter deleted Guo Furong's love line and designed plots for various other cute and pleasing points, showing her innocence, cuteness and chivalry.

Xiao Tong plays the role of a heartless and silly person very well, and she is also beautiful and virtuous, which makes her popular.

At least when it comes to beauty, she is a big mouth.

Virtuous and violent as a big mouth!
Tong Liya beamed with joy. "Hey, how come I'm the biggest star in this group? It feels like a boomerang. Zhu Wushuang is using Tangren's Guo Biting?"

"How's that girl's acting? Boss, are you considering the ratings for the Taiwanese side?"

There is a third female character named Zhu Wushuang in "Wulin Wai Zhuan". It is said that her character was originally designed according to the screenwriter's setting, that is, the lost twin sister of Guo Furong.

Later, someone else played the role, but the character setting was no longer likable, and the screenwriter himself was too lazy to do it.

However, the actors' performances are still very good.

In this version, it was clearly stated from the beginning that the twins did not need to play two roles, and the screenwriter also redefined the setting.

In the end, Li Wenyu decided to use Guo Biting, which was really for the ratings of the Wanwan team.

"Wulin Wai Zhuan" was very popular in mainland China and had extremely high ratings, but when it was first broadcast in Taiwan, the ratings were very low, and many viewers complained that there were too many dialects and they couldn't understand it.

But there are also many Taiwanese audiences who can accept "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

Tangren promoted time artists like Hu Ge and Guo Zhenni in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and occasionally giving back resources is equivalent to normal cooperation.

Li Wenyu laughed and said, "You'll get more and more used to being the biggest star on a crew, but you can't get carried away."

People who drift too much are prone to falling over, and the harder they drift, the harder they fall.

The most typical one among them is Wen Zhang. In fact, Wen Zhang is a small role model among the post-80s generation with good acting skills. After he became famous, he did all kinds of messy things and acted like a big shot.

Speaking of cheating? Nearly a complete ban = close to quitting the entertainment industry.

The core issue is that he was too arrogant when he was famous, which caused collective boycott. Moreover, he went out to have fun while his wife was pregnant, which was too immoral.

Xiao Tong nodded and seriously asked, "Boss, today is the day for the whitening and moisturizing treatment, right?"

If it was Dong Li who came back, even if she was caught and felt extremely embarrassed, she might still wave to Sister Li and say, "I'll give up my seat to you."

Da Meiyu came running over, she looked so strange.

Da Meiyuan was also happy, "Yes, there is a serious project, you are biased and haven't done any massage or beauty treatment for me yet."

Old Li, “…”

Even though he has 100 points of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help people with their health, it cannot catch up to the gift of physical and life evolution brought by Fitness 300.

It's just dual opening.

He is familiar with this kind of thing.

…………

A courtyard house.

When Joey Wong came to visit early in the morning, Yan was still staying in bed.

Li Jiaxin finally managed to control her bad temper and went to greet Joey Wong. The purpose of this Joey Wong's visit was very simple, to act in a movie (Perfect Stranger) for 1 yuan.

It has been three years since her comeback, and her acting skills have returned to normal.

Ah Xin finally drank the specially made Chinese herbal tea in big gulps and finally refreshed herself before she smiled and said, "Why are you guys so serious? Forget it, I have a special physique after all."

"I truly cannot understand the pain of someone like you who has an ordinary physique and needs extreme medical treatment."

"Speaking of the role with a daughter, it's set to be a middle-aged wife and mother of a psychiatrist. It's indeed more suitable for you. Gong Li is also vying for it."

"But the character setting is to have her conscience inflated. Gong Li is too big."

Li Jiaxin almost burst out laughing.

There is no need for Li Jiaxin to star in the movie Perfect Strangers.

But the 1 yuan salary that a group of people are fighting for is really, the medical beauty Niu Ben.

Lao Wang, “…”

She felt a pang of sadness for a while before she sighed, "I'm even younger now than I was in Dream of the Red Chamber. Without my cheeks puffing, I'd become several levels more beautiful."

"If we don't fight for it now, are we going to wait until Mr. Li retires from the film and television industry before we snatch it? That would be a complete failure."

Ah Xin, “???”

Lao Li said that it wouldn’t happen in the short term, but he is indeed directing less and less, and is paying more attention to overall control.
