Before leaving for Suzhou to join the crew of "Counterattack Years", Yi Jie had just finished attending the second "Prosperous China" press conference.

Compared to the shock and panic the first time brought to the world, this press conference made all countries clearly realize that China has risen to a height that they need to look up to without their knowledge.

They are afraid, and they don't know how many cards China has yet to reveal, so the countries that previously confronted China have changed their past style and started to take the route of superficial peace and secret testing, at least in a big way, they can't let others criticize them.

Compared to the political arena, ordinary Chinese people are naturally very happy, and they only think about how to buy these treasure products as soon as possible. People abroad are envious and jealous, wondering why he is not a Chinese citizen?

The discussion on the Internet is very heated. Yi Jie pays attention to it every day. She is happy to see the terminally ill patients crying after being cured, and is also touched by the picture of the household robot carrying its disabled owner for a walk in the community...

Everything is getting better and better.

The early flight landed in Suzhou. This was Yi Jie's first drama as the female lead, and Yu Bin planned to follow the crew throughout the entire process to prevent any emergencies.

Pei Yanan and He Chengan, who had completed pre-job training, followed Yi Jie and Yu Bin, carrying large and small bags, and looked like qualified staff.

"It takes about two hours to drive to Anyuan. You can take a rest. When you join the crew later, you will definitely be busy taking makeup photos, posters, and recording promotional videos. By the way, there should be photographers waiting on site. Try not to stay outdoors after you have your makeup done." Yu Bin said to Yi Jie while looking at the itinerary on the computer.

Yi Jie nodded, closed her eyes and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

The reason why there are paparazzi waiting here is mainly because the official account of "Counterattack Years" and the actors made official announcements a few days ago.

It was originally just a low-budget web drama. Except for Yi Jie, most of the actors were new and unknown. However, the popularity of the Rural Life Diary has not completely dissipated. In addition, Yi Jie asked Yu Mo, Guo Sheng, and Xu Guanyu to help forward and promote it, so it has gained a certain amount of popularity.

A small number of people have questioned Yi Jie. She has not studied systematically, but she directly took on the role of the female lead. Isn't this a joke to the audience? Even if it is a web drama, it is intolerable. But it is still within the controllable range of public opinion. After all, the public still has a thick filter for Yi Jie. Besides, in the past, where could we see the academic god acting for ourselves?

Fans persisted in promoting the show on the platform and attracted a number of people. In this way, Counterattack Years accumulated a lot of expectant audiences.

Anyuan is a small county town in Suzhou, specially arranged to fit the seaside county town in the script. Of course, the most important thing is that filming here costs much less than shooting in a big city.

The crew set up a tent and rented surrounding houses as office space.

As soon as Yi Jie joined the crew and caught up with Lu Kexin, she was rushed to do her styling. Yu Bin naturally took over other related tasks.

Lu Kexin was surprised to learn that Yu Bin was Yi Jie's manager, but when he thought about it, he was overwhelmed with joy. That meant his drama was going to be a hit! His eyebrows and eyes were full of smugness, as if the Best New Director Award was beckoning to him.

Kenny did not come this time. The makeup in the play was not complicated and the crew had enough makeup artists, so they tried to save as much as possible. Yi Jie felt very uncomfortable seeing her little treasury becoming increasingly depleted.

Most of the salary she received for Counterattack Years was spent right after she received it. Yi Jie's heart was bleeding when she looked at the financial statements. There was nothing she could do, running a company meant burning money all the time.

Although the conditions on the crew were simple, Yi Jie, as the leading actress, was still much better off than others, at least she had a separate dressing room.

Yi Jie could feel a clear gap in makeup artist's skills compared to Kenny's. Fortunately, makeup artists only needed to look refreshing and clean, and the requirements were not high.

In addition, Yi Jie has excellent skin and her bone structure has reached its peak after being adjusted by the beauty instrument. Therefore, the makeup artist kept praising her from beginning to end. It was really an easy task to do makeup for Yi Jie.

After changing into a high school uniform, Pei Yanan covered Yi Jie tightly with the clothes and sent her to the makeup shooting studio.

"Brother Yu is right, there really are photographers lurking there." He Cheng'an whispered beside him after entering the studio. He just glared at several people, which prevented them from surrounding him and taking pictures randomly.

"It's normal. The proxy photographers make money by selling information in advance. No matter how big a star is, as long as they have fans, they will have no worries about no one buying their stories. You should pay more attention to this in the future. There are no private fans yet. That's the scariest thing."

Yu Bin was obviously used to this. Whenever the people he brought with him were on a schedule, there would be a huge crowd around them. He was already used to being surrounded by fans or photographers.

Pei Yanan solemnly took out her work notebook and wrote down the points. She wanted to be a diligent and responsible assistant.

While taking the final photos, Yi Jie met several of the main actors in the play. From what Director Lu said, they were basically newcomers in the acting department and didn't have much fame.

The heroine Fu Keli’s study team consists of five people.

Yan Ningning, Chen Weida, and Dong Xue were her childhood friends. The four of them were as close as if they had grown up together, and of course their grades were similar. They studied in the worst experimental class in Yingcai School together in high school.

Shen Yu, the only one who joined later, was initially an enemy of the four. After a series of events, everyone broke their prejudices against each other and became an indestructible group of five talented people. In the end, they rushed towards a beautiful life that was completely different from the past.

Xu Hui, who plays Yan Ningning, is a pretty girl. She brought a bag of handmade cookies she made to each of Yi Jie and the others. The gifts were not expensive but full of thought.

The actor who plays Chen Weida is a tall and strong young man named Hu Jing. He smiled innocently and said that if he was not a sports student and big enough, he might not be able to get this role.

As for Jiang Pingting, who plays Dong Xue, she looks exactly like a cool queen. During the whole filming, Yi Jie swears that she spoke no more than three times, which is completely different from the laughter of the people around her. She is worthy of being a campus goddess, and she is exactly the same in and out of the play.

The actor who plays Shen Yu, Wang Chenyu, is completely different from the arrogant academic master in the play. He is a chatterbox and everyone is able to get along quickly, thanks to him.

According to the photographer's arrangement, the five people kept changing their poses. They were all young and relatively relaxed, and the final effect was quite good.

Now there are only some finalized photos and concept posters. As the plot deepens, other materials will be arranged for shooting, so that the audience can get some surprises from time to time and increase stickiness.

"After work, let's go to the next room for the first script reading." Lu Kexin walked into the studio and clapped his hands.

Script reading? Yi Jie was a little surprised. After all, this session is rarely seen before the filming of idol dramas in China. At least, she had never heard of it when she was in the fan circle for a while.

It seems that Director Lu has high expectations for this drama. Yi Jie's eyes lit up. The more responsible she is, the easier it will be for her to complete the task.

Yi Jie has always felt that it is very important for actors to fully understand the script before filming. If you don’t even understand the basic storyline and emotional presentation, it is impossible to perform the soul of the character. It would be like going into the battlefield alone, and you will most likely fail.

But it is clear that many domestic directors do not care about these things, they just want to use the traffic to make a quick buck. The impetuous idol group does not care even more, they can make money while having fun, and word of mouth will come back after some marketing, anyway, there are countless fans who will find excuses for them.

All the main creators of Counterattack Years gathered together, and the already small resident reception room was crowded. Lu Kexin sat in the middle with the script, picking out the key points and analyzing them one by one for everyone.

How should the character's personality be presented, how does his psychological state change, what detailed actions can be used to perform it... Although Lu Kexin has been in the industry for a short time as a director, he has unique insights and is quite patient. After a reading session, everyone was convinced by him.

After the show, everyone went to one place, Liangchen Hotel, which is considered the best hotel in the county. The crew and producer spent a lot of money to reserve two floors for everyone to stay at during this period.

The room that Yi Jie was assigned to was a single room with good lighting and a fairly large space. According to Brother Yu Bin, if any popular young actress was assigned to such a room, she would probably cause trouble.

"I'm not that particular. It doesn't matter where I live." Yi Jie blinked and looked at Yu Bin.

Yu Bin smiled and said gently, "That's good. Only by not being arrogant or impatient can you go a long way."

"Yeah, I will definitely abide by the duties of an 18th-tier actress." Yi Jie began to tease herself again.

Yu Bin was choked for a moment, and reluctantly told Yi Jie to go to bed early because she had to get up at seven o'clock tomorrow to prepare for the performance.

Yi Jie responded well. After everyone left, she went back to the study room and immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge. Although she had applied for off-campus practice, she still had a lot of homework to do.

On the first night in Anyuan, Yi Jie slept soundly and opened her eyes at six o'clock without waiting for the alarm clock to ring.

After exercising in the room for half an hour and taking a hot shower, Pei Yanan came to pick her up with a steaming hot breakfast to go to the filming.

Yi Jie entered the set with half-dry hair. The first scene of the day was not an easy one. In order to make the actors familiar with each other quickly, Lu Kexin put the scene of Fu Keli and his friends fighting in a group at the very beginning, under the pretext that fighting could promote relationships.

This part in the script tells the story of Dong Xue being harassed by hooligans outside the school. She kept failing, and finally got angry and called for people to bring weapons to surround Dong Xue after school.

This scene happened to be seen by Shen Chenyu, who had always disliked the four-man team. Conscience prevailed and he took the initiative to pass a message to Fu Keli. The four-man team took the broom and dustpan and dragged Shen Chenyu to the place where Dong Xue was surrounded. A passionate and unique team battle began...
