Su Jingyi took the script in front of her and drank a cup of hot lemon tea.
It's winter now. Recently, the sky has become increasingly dark.
She took out her pen and continued taking notes on the script. Next week, the company will officially start filming the second season of "Ghost".
Su Jingyi attaches great importance to this opportunity. For her who has been determined to be an actress since she was a child, she must perform better than the first season.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked up the phone and answered it, asking: "Hello..."
"Is it Jingyi? Look, listen, you don't need to read the script now. The script needs to be changed. This time the advertiser has put forward new requirements and needs to add more characters. Well... your role needs to be reduced a little more.
.The new script will be sent to you tomorrow, so you should know it first."
Su Jingyi stayed up late yesterday to read the script, and now she has recited all the lines in the script by heart. But now, the company actually directly informed her that she needs to change the script?
"What role is added?"
"You don't have to worry about it. What the advertiser says is what it says. I'm just informing you."
Su Jingyi does not have her own agent. She has only been in the industry for three years. Before starring in "Ghost Shadow", her Baidu encyclopedia only had very little content.
"Furthermore, you should also know that the second season is planned to shoot a full 50 episodes. Of course, side plots will have to be added. This time period is left to advertisers for advertising placement. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"Okay...I, I understand."
After all, she is a contracted artist of the company, so she has to do whatever the company says. Other than that, she can't do anything else.
She put down the hot lemon tea in her hand and leaned her head against the wall behind her.
She was really tired. The job of an actor is really hard.
"Ghost" is a 48-episode TV series filmed by STV last year and achieved the highest ratings among star TV series of the year. It is now 2000, and the most popular TV series are no longer costume dramas and romance dramas, but horror dramas.
The first season of the TV series only filmed half of the plot of the original novel, but this time, the second half will be filmed. As the producer of the TV series, the company requires that it must be completed before Christmas this year. Through post-production, it can be released next year
It was broadcast in the summer. The success of the first TV series also attracted a large number of advertisers for the second TV series. Judging from the script, there are at least more than 60 advertisers embedded in the series. The entire series is densely packed with various advertisements. It is simply
It can be said that it is a TV series inserted in the advertisement.
However, even if the production funds are sufficient, since the actress Fang Hanling of the heroine can be said to be the most popular actor today, and her salary is now more than all other actors in the crew combined, so almost 60% of the production fee has to be paid
Of course, the rest of the remuneration can only produce TV series with 50 cents special effects. Fortunately, the audience does not come to see the special effects, so the company does not care about this. As for Su Jingyi, her remuneration is pitifully low, and the irony is,
In the first season, her role was basically the same as that of the heroine. For a period of time, because the heroine was filming a movie and participating in two variety shows at the same time, the screenwriter had to increase her role. The result was enough
In fifteen episodes, her role far exceeds that of the heroine.
She looked outside the window. At this time, it was already very dark. There should be no one in the company now.
She locked the door and walked out, looking at the poster hanging on the wall to promote the second season of "Ghost". On the poster was a gloomy and ferocious ghost, and underneath was the name of the heroine Fang Hanling.
It is about three times bigger than the male protagonist.
Su Jingyi walked quickly towards the elevator. After pressing the elevator button, she turned on her phone and started browsing the news. On the portal, there was also news about the upcoming filming of the second season of "Ghost", so she clicked on it, and then
Check out netizen comments.
Of course, she knew that many of the netizens who commented here were trolls hired by the company, and they were bound to make the TV series popular before it started. This time, the second season also invited the original author, whose pen name is Haiyue Liuying.
Miss Bai Xinlan serves as one of the screenwriters. Of course, this is just a gimmick. Haiyue Liuying is currently busy preparing a new book, so she is just in name. The actual screenwriting work is completed by several outsourced screenwriters. Since the company requires at least
Fifty episodes were shot to increase the price of selling the TV series to TV stations, so the plot had to be filled with water, so different plot lines were composed of different screenwriters.
Su Jingyi didn't do well in the company, and the reason was very simple. She refused the boss's hands on her collar. She naturally knew about the chaos in the entertainment industry, but she didn't want to become famous in this way. She
She really wanted to become a popular star, and only by having commercial value can she get a good script, but then she realized that the current TV drama industry does not pay much attention to acting skills, but more to traffic, that is, commercial value. In fact,
She herself also heard that the ratings for the first season of "Ghost" last year were actually quite high. Of course, she didn't dare to guess what percentage this "certainly" was.
"so cold……"
The elevator still doesn't come.
Such cold weather...
At this time, she suddenly turned around and looked at the poster posted right behind. The ghost's face on the poster made Su Jingyi shiver.
"It's really...a bit scary..."
It's getting really cold now. The first filming location chosen by the crew this time was in the mountains, which is a full fifty kilometers away.
"Ding……"
Finally, the elevator came.
She quickly walked in. Then, she immediately pressed the close button.
"Go back quickly...take a shower first..."
It was really wise to rent the house next to the company. Although she made some money last year from filming the first season, her father was not in good health, so she sent a lot of money home. Once there was a patient at home,
There is no end to spending money. If she hadn't been filming outside, there would be no way to support the family.
But just when the elevator door was about to close, it suddenly stopped, and then the elevator door opened to both sides again. Then the elevator door was about to close again, and it automatically opened in the middle.
"what happened?"
Su Jingyi looked at the horror poster on the wall facing her, feeling increasingly frightened.
"What exactly is going on?"
This scene suddenly reminded her of a certain plot in the first season of "Ghost"!
Su Jingyi felt that she was filming the first season of "Ghost" and was too into the drama. How could she have such terrifying thoughts?
However, no matter how many times I tried, the elevator door just wouldn't close.
This scared her.
So, when the elevator door opened again, she immediately rushed out next to the elevator door!
As she ran down the escape ladder, her heart beat harder and harder, and she would look back from time to time. She was afraid that something would be chasing her behind her!
Finally, she ran all the way to the lobby on the first floor. At this time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, she just felt that she was ridiculous. How could she have such an idea? She should go back quickly. Go back quickly... then everything would be fine.
Company surveillance room.
A security guard was eating instant noodles and staring at the monitor in front of him.
At this time, he suddenly noticed a strange scene.
"Lao Li, um... come and take a look?"
"What's wrong? What's the matter? How many times have I told you, if you want to eat instant noodles, don't eat them here. What if it spills on the display screen?"
"Look at this..." The security guard put down the instant noodles and pointed at one of the surveillance screens. It was a picture from a camera in the elevator.
"Huh? What is this?"
"I think it's weird. How about we go up and have a look?"
"All right."
The two immediately put on their clothes and walked out of the monitoring room.
What they saw was the surveillance screen of the elevator that Su Jingyi entered before. On the screen, there was a figure with an unclear face standing upright at the door of the elevator, and when the elevator door closed, it would be stuck on him.
, and then it will shrink back again...
From this day on, no one has seen these two security guards again... (To be continued)
