Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 38 If the show continues, it’s time to find him in “Can’t Talk to Strangers”

Soon, the scene and camera positions were set up. Yan Li and Jiang Shan took their positions and started shooting.

Today's scene tells a fragment of the story of Li Li and Wu Tian, which is also one of the reasons for the hatred between Wu Tian and Liu Huaqiang.

Wu and Li were both employees of a television factory. Later, Li Li lost her virginity on a business trip, but this opened up a channel that could be used to make money.

Because Li Li's identity was inconvenient, she fell in love with Wu Tian, who was bold, daring and handsome. The two became partners, one a channel and the other a salesperson, and gradually they got together.

However, I met the wrong person.

Wu Tian is rich, young and handsome, and there is no shortage of admirers around him. After he has the capital, he also looks down on the old and weak Li Li.

So, when Wu Tian's behavior became more and more excessive, Li Li couldn't stand it anymore and turned against him.

The scene is a hotel room with a double bed. Jiang Shan stands in front of the window, looking coldly at Yan Li who comes in nonchalantly.

Yan Li didn't even look at her. He threw his handbag on the bed, wiped his head with his right hand, and then sat down on the sofa like a boneless person, looking like he was tired and didn't want to talk.

Jiang Shan was a little breathless, and she suppressed her anger and asked, "Where have you been for three days?"

Yan Li didn't answer. When pressed again, he replied half-heartedly, "I went out for a drink with some friends."

Jiang Shan was not willing to believe it at all. Her original dissatisfaction became worse due to the other party's attitude, so she started to scold Yan Li angrily, belittling and mocking him, saying that he was useless.

Under his condemnation, Yan Li's expression became more and more impatient, and even a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

Until Jiang Shan became more and more angry, went forward and pulled Yan Li to get up and talk, finally she completely angered Yan Li and threw him onto the bed.

"Okay, pass."

The director called for a stop, indicating that this segment was OK, and then adjusted the camera position from the sofa next to the bed to the bed.

Yan Li also took this opportunity to discuss the subsequent conflict scenes with Jiang Shan.

The script of "Conquer" describes this part very simply, with only lines, and mentions that Wu Tian later humiliated and beat Li Li.

But the script doesn’t specify how to humiliate or beat the actors, so it depends on the actors’ own performance.

And this performance is really worth mentioning!
Standing by the bed and cursing, or giving a fake slap in the face, is also called humiliation and beating, but in this way, the conflict is less serious.

In the plot, in order to take revenge on Wu Tian, Li Li gave up 20,000 yuan and even slept with Liu Huaqiang.

Although the main reason is that she was abandoned by Wu Tian and turned love into hate, and Li Li is set up to be narrow-minded and vengeful.

But Yan Li still felt that it was a bit far-fetched.

After all, Li Li is a woman, and a woman who values feelings relatively. Even if she doesn't attach so much importance to chastity, it doesn't mean she can just sleep with him. What's more, the other party is a hooligan whom she doesn't think much of.

So, she was abandoned, and there was nothing wrong with paying someone to take revenge on Wu Tian, but it was obviously too much to sacrifice herself.
Unless Wu Tian humiliates Li Li even more severely and makes her hate him madly, she will take revenge at all costs.

Director Gao Qunshu and Jiang Shan both agree with this logic.

But Jiang Shan is a big star in the crew after all, and she is a woman. If Yan Li wants to do something serious, he has to get her consent in advance, and it would be best if she is willing to cooperate. That's why Yan Li flatters Jiang Shan and tries to build a relationship with her.

Don't hold a grudge, so as not to be targeted on the set, or at least don't get angry and stop filming on the spot.

Otherwise, if Yan Li, a newcomer, beat up a senior actress and made her angry, he would be out of this industry if word got out.

However, Yan Li underestimated her somewhat. Jiang Shan is still a very professional person.

It’s just two hits, not a fatal blow, it’s a small matter!

Even if Yan Li doesn't want to build a relationship with her, Jiang Shan will cooperate as long as she has reasons and evidence. Of course, now that she has been coaxed into doing so, it will be easier to talk to her.

"Come on, sister is fine."

"I'm sorry, sister. Please bear with me."

Jiang Shan said proudly: "Come."

After a brief rehearsal, Yan Li gave Gao Qunshu an OK sign and then started filming. First, Jiang Shan fell heavily on the bed, looking at Yan Li in panic and disbelief.

Then the latter stepped forward, grabbed his hair and pulled it in front of his eyes, sneering with disdain.

"Shame on you, you're neither my wife nor my girlfriend. What right do you have to control me? Look in the mirror."

"Wu Tian!"

Jiang Shan screamed angrily, Yan Li let go of her hair and slapped her in the face.

"Let me tell you, I've been putting up with you for more than a day or two. Do you know what you look like now? Like a chicken."

"You thought I would marry you? Dream on."

After saying that, he turned around to take Li Li's bag and took out the money. The latter didn't care about the grievance and rushed to grab it, but was slapped again and pushed to the ground.

Afterwards, Yan Li spoke out "Wu Tian's" true feelings.

The two of them worked together, Li Li slept with Wu Tian to get the channel, and Wu Tian ran around and suffered a lot. He had long been dissatisfied, so this time he turned against her and was extremely heartless.

Yan Li left, leaving Li Li covering her face and crying silently, with a look of misery and hatred on her face.

"very good."

Gao Qunshu was very happy that Yan Li gave him a little surprise. He would think about it before filming, and dare to shoot, act and take action. Even Jiang Shan was motivated by him.

"Conquer" is a small crew, and Jiang Shan is helping out out of friendship. Her previous work attitude cannot be said to be perfunctory, but she is not particularly dedicated either.

However, in today's scene, Jiang Shan might have been stimulated by Yan Li, and her performance was very good, especially the last shot, which made people feel both pitiful and terrifying.

Wiping away her tears, Jiang Shan took the initiative to look for Gao Qunshu and asked, "Can you save one more?"

Gao Qunshu waved his hand: "No, it's fine."

Yan Li beside him let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, looking as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"It was so scary. I was trembling with fear when I hit Sister Shan twice just now. I really don't dare to do it again."

Jiang Shan knew he was deliberately livening up the atmosphere, so she joked, "Alright, boy, you've portrayed this unfaithful man so vividly. I bet you're not acting like yourself."

Zhou Yiwei, who was joining in the fun, lowered his head silently. Yan Li's psychological quality was much better than his.

"Sister, please don't slander me. I'm famous for being kind and gentle to women."

Yan Li said this with confidence. Whether he was a heartless man or not is debatable, but he certainly had never hit a woman.

Of course, certain times and occasions are excluded.

That's not called beating, that's called fun!

Gao Qunshu also spoke with interest: "Yan Li is a big shot. Ordinary newcomers wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Jiang Shan."

Not only may they not dare to take action, they also have to hold back and act.

Actors also care about their personal image. This kind of role can easily make the audience dislike it, and not all actors are willing to do it.

"The show is more important than anything else. As long as the effect is good, it doesn't matter if I get scolded a few times."

Yan Li said nice things, but in reality he was just throwing away all hope.

He has even taken the lead in lining up for "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties". What's the big deal about hitting a woman twice? He will talk about it after he performs well.

However, Yan Li is also considering avoiding similar roles next time he takes on a role. If he continues like this, he will be cast in "Can't Talk to Strangers 2".

Regardless of whether he would be scolded or not, Yan Li was mainly worried that his acting career would be restricted...
