I Became Hugely Popular After Becoming a Cannon Fodder Star

Because of the follow-up influence of these hot searches, Ji Li's Weibo fans successfully exceeded 10 million in just one week.

Looking around, there are very few young actors who have gained such a high popularity in the first year of their debut.

Yu Fuya is determined to give Ji Li a long vacation, except for the offline fan meeting of the Ying's perfume brand that has been set a long time ago.

During the rest of the time, Ji Li had no other public activities.

It was mid-September in a blink of an eye.

After spending only a month idle at home, Ji Li couldn't stay free. He called Yu Fuya, "Sister Yu, I want to make a movie."

So, less than an hour after finishing the call.

Yu Fuya and Bao Zi arrived at his home with three brand new movie scripts.

"Brother Ji! Brother Ji!"

Bun folded the script in front of Ji Li in one breath, "Me and Sister Yu have already screened you for a round. These three'winning scripts' have different themes and types, and all of them are male characters."

Baozi filmed the top script, "Especially the top one, an absolute big IP movie. It is still the famous director Zhang Chengye, but it needs an audition and casting."

Ji Li raised her eyebrows slightly, "Sounds good, why? There are a lot of movie scripts sent to the company recently?"

Two months ago, it was hard to say that he wanted to pick a good script.

Bun raised his head triumphantly, and his gestures would be as exaggerated as they were, "That's not it? Your current value has risen in a hurry!"

Yu Fuya explained with a smile, "There are more movie projects that start after the National Day, and you can watch them. If there is a character that you like, I'll talk about it for you."

Xuebing was lazy in the cat's litter, looked up slowly, curled up again and went to sleep.

Bun approached and knelt down to tease him, "Brother Ji, why is Xuebing not lively at all?"

"I was free some time ago and took him to cut the eggs. I am depressed recently." Ji Li picked up the script casually and said with a chuckle.

Don't say it's a bun, even the master Ji Li, Xue Bing loves to answer.

At first, Ji Li was worried that the snow cake was infected and sick during the operation, so he quickly asked the veterinarian, and the answer was—

The acting before you took it for sterilization is a bit superficial, not enough to be heartbroken. The little guy has a temper with you.

The high-profile talented freshman and the former Grand Slam actor, whose acting skills were miserably dismissed by his own cat.

When Ji Li thought about this, he felt dumbfounded, "You are free, I will read the outlines and biographies of these stories first."

"Well, Brother Ji, we won't bother you." Baozi teased cautiously with a cat making stick.

Yu Fuya stared at Ji Li's focused side face, and stopped talking.

It took Ji Li half an hour to browse through the outline of the script brought by the other party.

Yu Fuya asked, "What do you think?"

"You have to read the complete script to make sure." Ji Li replied frankly.

There is one thing to say, these three movies are better than investment and big movies, in fact, the story outline is not a good one at a glance.

However, Ji Li didn't mean to veto it directly. He wanted to carefully look at the details in the script before making a decision, so as not to miss a good movie.

"Jili, I actually still have a script." Yu Fuya opened the large-capacity handbag, took out a thick script from it, and placed it on the table.

Ji Li looked down, and the cover page was pure black, with a line of English names written in hot gold on it——

"LongIslandIcedTea"

"Long Island Iced Tea?" A curious inquiry flashed through Ji Li's eyes, "Take the name of the wine as the name of the movie?"

Yu Fuya temporarily stopped the other party from taking the script. She looked at the youth and said, "Jili, before you open this script, I have two important points to tell you."

The steamed bun, who was still teasing the snow cakes, immediately hugged the cat and sat next to the two of them.

"Sister Yu, there is a new script? Why don't I know?"

Ji Li glanced at Baozi, and then solemnly nodded to Yu Fuya, "Sister Yu, you say, I'll listen."

Looking at Yu Fuya's look, the weight of this script should not be light.

"The director of this script is Roland Cameron." Yu Fuya reported a director's name.

Ji Li is not very familiar with foreign directors in this world, but as soon as Bao Zi heard the name, he stood up excitedly, "Damn! Director Cameron?"

It was the first time that Ji Li saw Baozi so surprised that she could not help but ask, "...what's wrong?"

Facing his question, Baozi was not surprised, and excitedly explained, "Brother Ji, this director is super awesome! Do you always know the Yana International Film Festival? The world's recognized film festival top1!"

"At this film festival, Director Cameron won the title of ‘Best Director’ alone six times!"

"Director Cameron, who has been in the business for more than 30 years, has brought out seven world-class celebrities and queens by relying on his film works!"

In addition, other film festival awards have never lacked his name.

"Although his dominant movie subject matter is all literary and artistic films, every movie at the box office is comparable to commercial films, even more powerful than ordinary commercial films!"

In the latest world list of 100 excellent films, his work alone occupies five seats!

According to Cameron's consistent shooting standards and excellent scripts, as long as Ji Li can take over his scripts, I am afraid he will step into the international film circle with a single kick!

It's not that Baozi is talking big, but before Cameron's screenplay and team, the three domestic films they selected are indeed not enough to watch.

Yu Fuya nodded, affirming the introduction of Baozi.

"The resource for this movie script was introduced by director Adolf. I talked with the Cameron director team for more than three hours before I got the chance to read the script for you."

Of course, strict script confidentiality agreements are indispensable.

Yu Fuya's agent still had this initiative, so he signed for Ji Li.

"Director Cameron has seen your commercial video and thinks that your image still fits the role of the script. If you are willing after reading the script, they will reserve time for you, and we have to fly to the United States to audition."

Ji Li nodded, feeling that these basic conditions were reasonable.

"Sister Yu, what's the second point in your mouth?" He asked again.

Yu Fuya, who can make his temperament straightforward, is so entangled and cautious, I am afraid that it is not just a problem with the script card.

"I've seen the content of the script before you." Yu Fuya's complicated eyes glanced at the name of the script, "This is a literary **** movie."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Baozi opened his eyes wide, "This..."

Ji Li condensed her mind, her eyes fell back to the script.

He finally understood why Yu Fuya showed such indecision after taking out the script.

In recent years, the domestic film creation environment is far less open than that in the West, and movies about same-sex themes have almost disappeared.

Under this circumstance, the tolerance for male actors in China to accept such subjects is far lower than that in foreign countries, let alone young actors like Ji Li who are currently developing better.

However, the script of this movie bears the name of the director of ‘Cameron’, as long as the hardware is sufficient, it is an opportunity to rush to the world.

This condition is really tempting.

Therefore, the contradictions one after the other made Yu Fuya a little tangled.

However, she remembered what Ji Li said in the early stage of the cooperation-

"I want to have the greatest independent choice when it comes to the choice of Yu Jie's film and television scripts."

Over the past year, Yu Fuya is deeply aware of Ji Li’s mature ability to pick scripts and long-term market vision, so she did not veto the script as soon as she learned the theme of the script, but continued to discuss with the Cameron team in detail. , To win the script and audition rights for the other party.

Now, she has given this decision to Ji Li's hands.

"Sister Yu, I have never resisted any film and television themes, because the focus is always on the content itself." Ji Li's eyes still fell on the cover of the script with gold letters on the black background.

Perhaps, some scripts are inherently attractive.

As early as the first time he could see, the curiosity in Ji Li's heart was wrapped up little by little, "I want to take a look first."

"Of course." Yu Fuya let go.

Her eyebrows finally eased, and she did her agent's duty to remind her. The rest depends on the fate of the other party and the script.

Baozi knew that the choice of script was a big deal, so he didn't dare to give ideas at will.

However, let him say in his heart that same-sex themes and opposite-sex themes are essentially the same, and the focus is on good works and good content.

Speaking of the 1980s, domestic good same-sex movies and TV works appeared endlessly. Actors dared to perform for good scripts, and the movies were still popular after they were released.

On the contrary, the new generation of actors are restrained, let alone homosexual themes. Even acting as a villain killer is afraid that it will affect the public image, which is boring.

Ji Li leaned on the lazy couch and began to flip through the script of the movie.

The pure English script, the correct letters at a glance, is clean and pleasing to the eye.

The protagonist of the script story is two Chinese men. One of the protagonists is Lu Yao.

Lu Yao's parents went abroad to start a business as soon as they got married. The two started from scratch, and it took ten years to break out a career and a world.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After being rich, the father derailed, and he began to dislike the mother who didn't like to dress up.

The husband and wife are separated, and the love at the beginning is gone, only quarreling day after day is left. The reason why he was stuck not to divorce was because of Lu Yao's underage son.

Soon, Father Lu and his lover were exposed.

The lover looks very beautiful, she took a fancy to the position of the mistress of the Lu family, and at first she provoked Lu's mother twice and three times, and later came into the room with the child in her belly.

Lu's mother was severely depressed and chose to take medicine to kill her.

She expressed the hatred of her husband and Xiao San in the most tragic and decisive way.

But Lu's mother didn't know that her tragedy ended, bringing a huge psychological shadow to Lu Yao, who was only eight years old.

In the ten years that followed, Lu's father's career became bigger and bigger, and there was less and less discipline for Lu Yao. Apart from the huge pocket money he paid regularly every month, he didn't care about his son.

Lu Yao has become what others call the "second generation of rich dude", only going to clubbing and drinking, and not doing business.

On the twenty-fifth birthday, Lu Yao, who was traveling, walked into a bar where he met the most important person in his life.

The beginning of the story is after the general background of the characters.

Lu Yao fell in love with a man in the bar.

The other party's appearance in his thirties, a Chinese face is particularly outstanding among a group of Westerners.

The hair that was less than the length of the neck was tied to the back of the head by the man, showing a nice and charming profile. His suit jacket was too wide, and even a little old.

It looks like a long-lost artist.

The man scanned the wine list at the bar, but he didn't decide it yet.

Lu Yao moved his mind and walked straight to the other side.

He glanced at the downcast man at close range, and then gestured to the bartender, "I want a glass of Long Island Iced Tea, I will invite this gentleman to drink it."

Long Island Iced Tea, there is a different name in the circle of "Desperate Tea".

Because its name is too simple, it can always attract countless people who don't know how to drink, and drink strong alcohol. Once drunk, anything can happen in a chaotic bar.

Over time, inviting people to drink the phrase "Long Island Iced Tea" adds a layer of ambiguous meaning in some small circles.

The bartender knew it.

The man who was just like a newcomer who couldn't order wine also showed a complicated look.

"You want to buy me a drink?"

"of course."

In this way, the two sat in front of the bar, each holding their glasses for a drink.

The man seems to be a person with a strong desire to talk. After half a glass of wine, he said that his name is Wen Qiong.

Wen Qiong was originally a pampered young master and also a painter. His works have been sold at sky-high prices at auctions.

It's a pity that the Wen family fell into trouble three years ago. His father couldn't afford to be ill, and his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Even if Wen Qiong ran out of all his deposits, he could not recover from such a defeat.

The burden of the family fell suddenly.

Under this pressure, Wen Qiong found that she had no inspiration for creation.

This is a fatal blow to an artist who relies on inspiration for his food. His new works have lost the glory of the past, and have been denied and rejected time and time again.

Wen Qiong's arrogant self-esteem is like scraps thrown on the ground, which can be crushed by anyone.

Last month, Wen's father and Wen's mother passed away.

The lonely Wen Qiong booked the cheapest discounted ticket and came to Iceland.

When he got off the plane at the first stop, he walked up to this bar casually.

Wen Qiong has a tight hand, and has indeed struggled with the price of cocktails for a long time. Until Lu Yao, who suddenly appeared, bought him a cup of Long Island Iced Tea.

Different family backgrounds, different life experiences, but the loneliness of two hearts is particularly similar.

Sometimes, affection comes in a flash.

The two went together and visited every corner of Iceland.

They stepped on a glacier that never melted, watched the dazzling aurora at night, blew the chilly sea breeze, and kissed each other's beating hearts.

Lu Yao and Wen Qiong, from hugging, kissing, and taking in the simplest sense, gradually became the close and snuggle of two souls.

They belonged to each other's salvation. After passing through those difficult years alone, a glass of wine called "Long Island Iced Tea" melted into each other's bones and blood.

Every movie story always has a turning point that cannot be avoided.

Wen Qiong and Lu Yao also failed to escape this established ‘turning’ point.

Just as they were about to leave Iceland and head to the airport, they encountered an unexpected serial car accident.

After the sudden and desperate impact.

The world of the two people began to change drastically.

...

When Ji Li read this in one breath, she solidified her breathing. He subconsciously turned the page to continue, but was caught off guard to see the blank last page.

"Sister Yu, this script..." Ji Li asked impatiently.

There was a trace of depression in his chest, and he couldn't get up or down.

"The remaining one-third is still with Director Cameron." Yu Fuya had expected the other party to ask such a question, and explained it warmly.

The director team said that the storyline of the script is very important. In order not to cause leaks and affect the interests of the crew, the complete script will not be given.

Unless it is the filming schedule that reaches this scene, the actors can get the script in advance. Otherwise, irrelevant people can only go to the theater after the movie is released.

When Ji Li got this answer, she couldn't help but frowned and sighed, her fingers holding the script did not relax at all.

He admitted that he was stuck in the plot, and even more so that he was caught off guard by this unexpected breakpoint.

Baozi came back with a bunch of food, "Brother Ji, Sister Yu, shall we have dinner first? The script will not be finished for a while, so don't starve your stomach."

Yu Fuya could see some thoughts of Ji Li from his expression, and she patted the other person on the shoulder, "A good story is a horrible story."

Just like the day before yesterday after reading this script, she couldn't sleep much of the night.

Ji Li nodded and had to put down the script for now.

After dinner, Yu Fuya and Baozi left first, and the script they brought was quietly resting on the coffee table.

After a brief wash, Ji Li continued to nest on the sofa and read other scripts. Xuebing was probably bored, and finally she was willing to nestle in her owner's arms and act like a baby.

Without notice, there is no need to get up early.

It took about two days for Ji Li to go through the other scripts roughly.

Yu Fuya's vision for selecting scripts is still online, and the scripts of these three film projects are remarkable. As long as the director and producer are strong, the work should not be bad.

If it were in the past, Ji Li would definitely choose one directly.

But two days later, Lu Yao and Wen Qiong had been pretending to be in his heart, and the thoughts increased instead of falling.

After thinking carefully, Ji Li finally called Yu Fuya, "Sister Yu, please help me contact the Cameron director team. I want to participate in the audition."

Yu Fuya on the other end of the phone chuckled, "It's been arranged long ago. We will meet this Sunday night, and the plane ticket will be booked on Wednesday the day after tomorrow."

From the silence and urgency of Ji Li after reading the script that day, Yu Fuya expected his answer. As a result, she contacted the Cameron team early.

What happened to the same-sex theme?

With a good script, a good director, and a good team, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Ji Li to stand on the international stage.

It's not just Ji Li, but Yu Fuya, who is an agent, also wants to fight for it.

"Take a good rest, get ready, and Baozi and I will pick you up to the airport the day after tomorrow."

Ji Li curled her lips, "Okay, thank you Sister Yu."

"What are you polite to me? This is your choice."

"Well, I got it."

...

Sunday, high-end banquet restaurant.

In order to show politeness, Ji Li and Yu Fuya specially dressed up to attend.

Ji Li's hair was dyed dark brown, which was cut short compared to the red carpet look more than a month ago. The gray-blue three-piece suit is calm and smart at the same time.

Ji Li's appearance and body proportions were originally walking clothes racks, and as soon as he entered the restaurant, he attracted many people's attention.

"Good evening, sir and madam, can I help you?"

Yu Fuya calmly nodded to the waiter, "We have an appointment, Mr. Cameron."

The waiter understood the situation instantly, "Please follow me."

"Thank you."

The two followed the waiter and left the dining hall, passing through the winding and quiet corridor, before being taken outside a box.

The waiter knocked on the door.

Soon, a young woman opened the door. He saw Ji Li at the door, his eyes lightened slightly.

Then he turned sideways and gave a way, "Ms. Yu, Mr. Ji, please come in."

She is Cameron’s daughter and one of the directors of this film project, Lan Linta.

Ji Li smiled slightly and stepped in calmly.

Before coming, he made further information about the director Cameron.

The other party is fifty-eight years old this year, and his films have been hailed as the representative of aesthetics in literary and artistic films. He is extremely good at composing pictures and extending the artistic conception of the story.

Many movie fans have said that as long as it is a movie directed by Cameron, any frame of it can be used as a wallpaper.

Cameron is a director, but also an artist.

For the first time, Ji Li saw Cameron sitting in the position.

He was covered in white hair, pressed by a square black beret, and his long beard was also white, and he looked very artistic.

"Hello director, this is Ji Li. I'm sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time." Ji Li took the initiative.

"We just arrived, please sit down." Cameron smiled, looking at him unlike a serious director.

Ji Li and Yu Fuya looked at each other and took their seats under Lan Linta's instructions.

Cameron looked at Ji Li and asked, "Do you like steak? This charcoal grilled steak is very good."

"Thank you director, I can do it all."

Ji Li looked around without a trace, suppressing the doubts in his heart.

What about the audition?

This box does not look like an audition occasion.

"Have you seen the script?"

"Yes, I've seen it, and it's uncomfortable..." Ji Li looked at it, helpless but sincere, "it was so uncomfortable to be stuck in the storyline."

Cameron smiled heartily, "Please forgive our approach, everything is for the mystery of the movie."

"of course."

"I have seen the movie you and Adolf collaborated with, the one at the dinner party, your performance is very charming." Cameron praised.

Had it not been for this opportunity, he would not have known that China still had such a unique face as Ji Li.

He had been preparing the script for this movie since a year ago, and the Chinese faces of the two protagonists really made him work hard.

It is not only necessary to have strong oral expression skills, but also to look up to the standard of the actors. The most important thing is that the actors must be willing to act.

Cameron and his team have seen the art card information of many Chinese actors, but they can't find the person in his mind.

He almost wanted to give up and directly changed the character's foreign identity back, but was rejected by the screenwriter.

In recent years, there have been countless Western movies of the same sex, and the freshness of the tastes of foreign audiences has long been passed by foreign actors.

What the screenwriter wants to try is the delicate feelings that are separated from enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, and also want to show a different aesthetics.

Therefore, he made both of these roles Chinese.

Cameron and Ji Li talked for a long time before the latter tentatively asked, "Director, forgive me to ask directly, this audition..."

Cameron raised his eyebrows slightly, "My eyes are the lens of judgment."

Lan Linta on the side smiled and added, "Mr. Ji, don't look at my father smiling, you think he's easy to talk."

"Actually, when he selects actors, he has never been based on rigid acting skills. It is his intuitive perception of the actors and characters as a director."

The so-called back door, relying on relationships, does not work here in Cameron.

He has always adhered to a standard-the acting skills that can impress the audience actually come from the character itself.

In other words, the actor's first impression must be that character.

Cameron was 50% sure after seeing Ji Li's photos and moving videos. Now after seeing his real person, he is also 50% sure.

When Yu Fuya heard about this selection criterion for the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

She also thought that such an international director would be very strict in selecting actors, and might have to go through several rounds of repeated auditions.

"If you want, you can discuss the shooting contract with my team tomorrow."

Cameron looked at Ji Li and added teasingly, "Of course, the pay will not be less for you."

Since Ji Li was willing to come, he was ready to work hard for this role.

Now that he can spend less time fighting for it, he is naturally happy.

"Okay, thank you Director Cameron." Yu Fuya said instead.

"Director, I am playing the role of Lu Yao? The actor who will play Wen Qiong, is it decided?"

It was the first time that Ji Li appeared in such a subject, and according to the script of the previous paragraph, there are still intimate scenes. To be honest, he was very nervous about his counterpart.

"Wen Qiong's role was set earlier than you, and he is also a famous actor in China."

Cameron and Lanlinta looked at each other, and the latter smiled, "He happened to be in the United States. We also invited him tonight. It is estimated that the time will come soon."

Before Ji Li could digest the amount of information in this passage, the knock on the door sounded again.

Lan Linta replied, "Please come in."

Ji Li's heart tightened when she heard the sound of pushing the door.

Before he cast his gaze on the sidelines, in the next second, a familiar voice came over.

"Director Cameron, long time no see."

Yu Fuya looked at Qin Li who suddenly appeared in the box, and looked at Ji Li who was surprised and surprised.

Somehow, she suddenly felt a sense of aggrieved--

It's over.

Prevent coming and going.

As a result, she personally delivered her cub to the mouth of the big-tailed wolf?
