Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 57 "Together to Hell" and the Mainland's No. Agent

riverside
Yan Li was dressed in ancient costume, with an unshaven beard and a haggard face. He limped to the river and fell to the ground.

Holding a few books of sages in his hands, he gently brushed his fingers across the covers, buried his head in tears, and then felt desolate.

"Ten years of hard study have now amounted to nothing but a dream."

"I read books without understanding their principles, I read books without knowing their moral principles. I, Song Dian, have claimed to be a disciple of a sage, but I have never truly cared about the teachings of the sages. I have ended up like this today, and it is all my own fault. It is the retribution of heaven."

After saying that, Yan Li staggered to his feet, put a few books away carefully, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the books.

Afterwards, he stood up and straightened his clothes. His eyes changed from regretful and sighing to relieved and determined. He turned to face the river, and the camera kept zooming away.

"Okay, passed."

The executive director shouted, Yan Li raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and then left the screen.

A prop and stagehand picked up a stone and threw it into the river. The camera gave a close-up while the ripples on the water were still there.

Under normal circumstances, you can actually directly shoot a shot of someone committing suicide by jumping into the water.

But the director thought it was too troublesome and felt that leaving blank space would make it look better, so Yan Li did not insist.

If the director asks him to shoot, he will cooperate. If the director doesn't want to shoot, he won't insist foolishly.

It's November now, the weather is cold and the river is frozen. He is physically strong, and even if he won't get sick if he goes into the water, soaking in cold water is not pleasant, so it would be best if he doesn't suffer.

Although the death was not filmed, he did die, and Yan Li still received a red envelope to calm his nerves.

Yan Li has gotten used to it. He has acted in three plays and died three times. He wonders when he will be able to play a role that survives to the end of the play.

The red envelope was 5 yuan, and there happened to be a tourist attraction nearby selling sugar-roasted chestnuts, so Yan Li bought a pack and planned to go to the dressing room to remove her makeup.

Although Yan Li was performing a death scene today, he had not yet finished filming on the set.

He still had a few scenes to shoot in which he was bullied by the Su brothers and sisters. He could only leave the crew of "Cornucopia" after those scenes were finished.

On the way back, Yan Li met another group of the crew filming.

The crew of "Cornucopia" is usually divided into two groups, one group is mainly composed of the main characters, and the other group is mainly composed of supporting characters. This allows for fast filming, which is also an important reason why Yan Li was about to finish filming within a month of joining the crew.

Yan Li looked around curiously, and it happened that they were also filming a death scene of a character.

The one who died was Zhao Xue'e, played by Fan Xiaopang!
In the plot of "Cornucopia", the villain Su Bancheng and others took advantage of Shen Wansan's absence to plot trouble. The heroine Lu Chunxiang, played by Zhang Ting, led people to fight against them.

During the fight, the two sides fought fiercely. Someone attacked Lu Chunxiang, and Zhao Xue'e stepped forward to block the knife and was killed.

To be honest, the death was a bit hasty!
There is no way, the heroine Lu Chunxiang is the true confidante and partner of the hero Shen Wansan, and Zhao Xue'e's role in the later part of the plot is very useless.

In order to make the love between the male and female protagonists end in a legitimate way, the female protagonist Zhao Xue'e had to finish filming and give up her position.

Originally, Yan Li planned to watch the fun and leave, but he was discovered by Fan Xiaopang, who glared at him.

Ever since the last gathering with Meng Ji, Fan Xiaotian and the others, Fat Fan has gradually begun to get a taste of it.

She was unhappy with Yan Li, and Yan Li seemed to dislike her too!
When dealing with others, Yan Li is very versatile and eloquent, and he gets along well with many actors in the crew.

But he treated her perfunctorily, and sometimes even deliberately angered her.

Fan Xiaopang couldn't understand how he had offended this flatterer. In the end, he could only blame it on the fact that the two of them had different auras and were naturally incompatible.

Since they disliked each other, Fat Fan was too lazy to give Yan Li any good face.

Sometimes he would even pull the crew member Cricket Yan Li to isolate him.

However, the latter has little effect. Yan Li is sweet-mouthed and popular, and he is used to pretending to be harmless, which easily shatters Fan Xiaopang's "anti-Yan plan".

Some people even felt that Fan Xiaopang was too targeted at Yan Li and was too harsh on the newcomer.

This caused Yan Li to be given the title of "scheming man" after Fan Xiaopang's nicknames such as "flatterer", "smiling tiger", "lackey", "stingy guy", and "bastard".

No matter how much he cursed in his heart, after a few small confrontations, Fatty Fan really didn't gain any advantage, and occasionally he was beaten to a pulp. Now, he can only pretend to be fierce with his expression!
Because of this, Fan Xiaopang's glare didn't matter to Yan Li. He instantly gave up the idea of leaving and took the initiative to stay and help the crew.

When filming started later, Yan Li pulled a few staff members who had finished their work, sat beside them with his legs crossed and a smile on his face, peeling and eating sugar-roasted chestnuts while watching Fan Xiaopang being "chopped" with blood all over his body.

You know what, it’s quite fun!
Especially when I saw Fan Xiaopang being hacked to death and he was so angry that he "died with his eyes open", the chestnuts in my mouth became sweeter.

Zhang Ting hugged the "dead" Fan Xiaopang and cried for a while. The scene was finished and Fan Xiaopang was successfully finished.

Yan Li clapped his hands along with the crowd, and took the opportunity when Fan Xiaopang was tripped by the staff who were celebrating her completion, and ran away directly to prevent the little girl from getting angry and snatching his chestnuts.

However, you can run away for a while, but you can't run away forever.

Yan Li took off her makeup and changed her clothes. Just as she was about to leave the dressing room, she ran into Fan Xiaopang.

The timing was so coincidental that Yan Li once suspected that Fan Xiaopang had been lying in ambush here, waiting for him to appear.

Because as soon as Fan Xiaopang saw him, he enthusiastically gave Yan Li a big hug, rubbing against him and refusing to let go.

"I'm leaving soon. I really don't want to leave you."

After finally breaking free, Yan Li looked at his clothes which were stained with blood by the blood-soaked Fan Xiaopang, and forced a smile through gritted teeth.

"I really can't bear to leave you either."

Before leaving, he finally won a game back, and this time Fan Xiaopang's smile was much brighter and more genuine.

"See you later (never again)."

"Bye-bye (see you later)."

----

A few days later, Yan Li finished filming and left the crew. Before leaving, he went to Su City Funa to sign a film contract.

It is the sequel to "The Legend of the White Snake", and is currently tentatively named "The Fortune Star of the White Snake".

However, the crew is still in the preparation stage. They have only decided on a role for Yan Li, but it is hard to say which role he will play.

Yan Li has read the outline of the script and is interested in playing the Bull Demon King in the play.

The drama "Fortune Star Pig Bajie" is a bit like a unit drama. The main plot is divided into three stories. Pig Bajie is the absolute first protagonist, but each unit has its own "protagonist".

The Bull Demon King is the "protagonist" of the unit "The Three Strikes on the Bull Demon King", he has a lot of scenes and the key character settings are also brilliant.

However, Yan Li was not sure whether he could get this important role, as neither Funa Company nor Meng Ji gave him a definite answer.

Yan Li plans to interact more with Meng Ji!

Funa's boss Fan Xiaotian has a high status and has many people to curry favor with. He is also in Su City, so it is not easy for Yan Li to establish a relationship with him.

Meng Ji is not filming and his home is in the capital. He also owes Yan Li a favor, so he is relatively easy to conquer.

Although Meng Ji does not have the final say as Fan Xiaotian, he is the director of "Fortune Star Pig Bajie" after all. If he is willing to support Yan Li, the role will be almost certain to happen to him.

In late November, Yan Li returned to the capital.

Dong Xuan was still in the crew of "Snow Goddess Dragon", and Qin Lan took on a Qing Dynasty drama called "The Blue Sky Yamen" and also left the capital.

But Yan Li is not lonely either, as his roommates Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Songwen, and Lin Jiachuan are all in Beijing now.

There is also Tong Dawei. This guy has managed to get rid of the shadow of Boss Shi and wants to win back Guan Yue, so he is thinking of taking a roundabout route through Yan Li and Dong Xuan.

Before Yan Li arrived in the capital, Tong Dawei clamored to invite him to dinner and said he would introduce him to a "noble person".

Although Tong Dawei kept it a secret, Yan Li already knew who this "noble man" was through the system.

Wang Jinghua, known as the number one agent in mainland China!
