Chapter 115

Looking back at the long inquiries and slanders under the hot search topic, it seems and sounds even more absurd.

Ji Li has no friends in the entertainment industry?

Sorry, both Ji Yunqi and Yuan Yifei came out to support him in person!

Ji Li isn't enthusiastic about his works?

Sorry, the director recognized him! The screenwriter recognized him! His peers recognize him!

Ji Li has no acting skills and performance?

Sorry, Ji Li has already won the trophies from the Huaxia Television Awards and the Baixiang Awards.

Ji Li have no male lead movies?

Sorry, in just six hours, three male lead movies have been officially announced in a row.

From Yao Chuan, Rong Tong, and then to Xu Cheng, the popularity of the directors is getting stronger and stronger!

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, which male star dared to be so presumptuous and domineering like Ji Li?

Ji Li's fans have fallen into a state of ecstasy, they are increasingly reposting Weibo, positive data, and increasing the popularity of the official announcement of the three movies.

[ Oh, I thought that Ji Li would have a male lead movie sooner or later, but I never thought he was this powerful! ]

[ Career fans are ecstatic! Our lovely cub bravely fly! Mom will always follow! ]

[ It's cool and crazy! Shut up sour chickens! ]

[ The company didn't move all night, it was actually because Ji Li was holding back and had a big card to slap in the faces of the sunspots and black fans hahaha. ]

[ Hahahaha are the three movies warming each other up? At the same time, it was officially announced that this real-time discussion was all on together. ]

Passers-by who eat melon are surprised, many entertainment marketing accounts grab the heat and praise, and those black fans and sour chicken have already chosen to close their traps.

[ I'm a passerby who feels excited, Ji Li is too powerful! I think his acting skills are quite good, and the resources are keeping up! Next year, he'll come and win the trophy for the 'Best Male Lead'. ]

[ An action anti-drug, a suspense solving crime, a myth and legend genre, these are all different types of movies. Isn't this selection ability too powerful? ]

[ Is it too late to get into the pit now? I like professional actors. ]

[ Other fans are really envious and crying. Isn't Ji Li a celebrity harvester? ]

The evening has always been a peak traffic period, and under such heated discussions, the hot search has been strongly occupied by Ji Li.

Ji Li's six-hour official announcement of three male lead movies, Ji Li's Reverse Hunting, Ji Li's Demon Monk, Ji Li's Special Operations 2, Ji Li celebrity harvester...

All kinds of hot search topics have been bombarded, almost causing a sensation in the entire entertainment circle.

The tree attracts the wind, but can't bear it when it is strong enough!

Although there were still some sour words coming out, but at this moment, it couldn't cause any substantial harm to Ji Li.

Ji Li family fans have been able to calmly ignore these rumors, and even want to laugh a little bit.

If you are sour, you will be sour. If you want to be dark, continue to be dark!

Don’t think there are enough male lead works by our Ji Li? Do you think our face is not ruthless enough?

While you guys are arguing, Ji Li broke out a bazooka-like great news! Thinking about it, it feels good.

─────────────────────

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chaoying Culture.

Tao Mingyang and Yu Fuya returned to the office with several bags of supper, "Everyone has worked hard today, let's have some supper, it is of Ji Li's invitation!"

"Thank you, Mr. Tao."

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

"Thank you, Ji Li."

The cheers rang out, and everyone stood up from their seats one after another and gathered around the large desk to eat.

Ji Li walked out of the rest room next door, holding a book of ‘Reverse Hunting’ scripts in his hand.

"How is the popularity of the three movies now?"

"Brother Ji can rest assured that the three movies are influenced by each other, and the popularity has exceeded our estimate amount."

When Ji Li heard this, his lips curled up with a smile, "That's good."

There are only less than ten days left before the start of the movie ‘Reverse Hunting’, and the producer originally planned to announce it today.

After the accusatory Weibo appeared suddenly last night, Bao Zi immediately informed Ji Li.

Ji Li watched the fans try to control and criticize themselves, or decided to play directly, which was regarded as a gift to them.

He contacted the producers of ‘Reverse Hunting’ and ‘Demon Monk’ successively, and explained his desire to announce with the official announcement.

In addition, the film ‘Special Operations’ has already determined the shooting plan for the second part of next year, and is looking for Chaoying to discuss in detail the contract for various issues of filming.

After going back and forth, Chaoying simply explained the situation with the three producers and directly announced the film.

No one has ever done this bold move in the entire entertainment industry. As long as the actor's popularity is not enough, the same kind of news will only distract the discussion.

But Ji Li believes in himself, in the company, in the fans, and in the producers. He has the confidence to join the enthusiasm of the three films to launch a sprint together.

After discussing the plan all night, everyone agreed to the plan.

After all, the contract has already been signed, and the one slandered on is their picked male protagonist, plus there are many forms of film official announcements.

Announcement of the male lead actors and actresses can be counted as one official announcement, and the release of a fixed makeup poster can also be regarded as one official announcement. They also chose the former and first joined hands to earn the popularity this time, and the next time they can still earn the popularity in batches.

Therefore, under the joint propaganda of multiple parties, there is the current extreme grand occasion.

"Have you taken screenshots of the content and data of that Weibo? Let's sue them tomorrow morning." Ji Li raised his eyebrows lightly.

"We'll take care of this." Yu Fuya opened her mouth, "On the contrary, how about you? The next group entry notice is so compact, can your body bear it?"

The next three days were the screenwriting of ‘Reverse Hunting’, and the film was launched a week later.

Then it's shooting, finishing, then entering the group, then finishing again, then entering the group, then finishing again, this all is like a cycle that is estimated to continue straight to August next year.

"I'm working hard now in my career." Ji Li didn't think there was any problem. "After the movie is finished, before joining the group, there is enough rest time in between."

Anyway, when filming, he has enough energy and ability to ensure that he works hard to interpret each role at different stages.

─────────────────────

At noon the next day, the official Weibo of Chaoying Culture issued a statement.

The company has entrusted a law firm to sue, demanding that ‘@Yue Mi Tu’, which has published the entire black draft, delete the contents of the previous day’s Weibo, and publish an apology to Ji Li in public within three days!

In addition, the company, together with Ji Yunqi and Wei Lai’s recent fabricated black materials, were also dealt with.

They will take screenshots of all Weibo users who have maliciously spread the rumors and forwarded five hundred Weibo users, and require users to delete false statements in time, otherwise they will also retain the right to prosecute!

Who said that they only favor Ji Li?

As long as they are artists under the banner of Chaoying, the company will do its best to give them the best resources and best protection.

Chaoying started the cub protection mode as always, and the fans of its artists saw this and unanimously suppressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

All right, the company treats everyone equally.

After all, when it comes to the protection of artists, if Chaoying Company is calls themselves second, then no other company dares to claim the first.

As for Ji Li, who is gaining momentum recently, they can only stare with envy. After all, they all belong to the same company, so you can't really start fighting, right?

Ji Li fans are always staring at the Weibo of ‘@Yue Mi Tu’, waiting for the black entertainment fan to delete Weibo and release an apology to Ji Li.

As a result, they didn’t expect that the apology hadn’t come out yet, and this tens of millions of fans actually ‘blow up’!

[ The user has been officially blocked and cancelled for publishing illegal content. ]

Oh my god?

Exploded the number directly!

While the fans were shocked, the marketing company behind the user ‘@Yue Mi Tu’ came forward in person and issued a deep apology to Ji Li on the official blog.

In addition to a cautious and sincere apology, the person in charge also said—in the future, the marketing staff of the entire company will be urged to be cautious in their words and deeds. In the face of celebrity and public opinion, proceed from positive, sunny and justice, and resolutely not deliberately discredit to gain traffic benefits.

[ The accounts of tens of millions of fans? How much money did you lose in this wave of accounts? ]

[ This company has a lot of marketing accounts, and every speech is particularly provocative. This time it finally capsized! ]

[ Very good! This company has a stinking number of people, changing from various black stars every day, and it also mobilizes the friendly relationship between celebrities and fans. It is too dirty to rely on this kind of traffic to make money! ]

[ Ji Li is awesome! Chaoying Culture is awesome! Can he force such a shameless marketing company to blow up and apologize? Hahaha, cool! ]

Until then, the sane fans of each family finally emerged and shouted for their refreshment.

More than half of the smoky fans in the entertainment industry are provoked by these foul-mouthed marketing accounts.

After enduring it for so long, finally the celebrities and the company personally came forward to give a strong counterattack!

─────────────────────

The script reading of the new day is over.

When Ji Li arrived home, he learned about the bombing of ‘@Yu Mi Tu and the marketing company's apology.

On the other end of the phone, Bao Zi was puzzled, "Brother Ji, do you think this is strange? Our company didn't put so much effort into it, so why did they just explode and apologize?"

Ji Li faintly guessed something, and the corners of his mouth raised an arc, "If it blows up, it will blow up. Anyway, it will do us no harm."

"That's true."

"I'll hang up first, and contact WeChat if I have something to do."

"It is good."

The two ended the conversation briefly.

After a day of tiredness, Ji Li sank into the soft sofa, and the Major General and Snow Cake immediately became sticky. Since Qin Yue went abroad to make a movie, the cat and dog have been temporarily in the care of Ji Li.

Being arched by these two soft cuties, Ji Li suddenly missed Qin Yue in his heart.

Probably the subtle tacit understanding between lovers, the next second, the WeChat vibration rang.

[ Baby, still busy? ]

[ No, just got home. ]

As soon as the short answer was sent, a video call came in.

The call is immediately connected.

Ji Li looked at the familiar face in the video, a smile ran out of the corner of his eyes, "You haven't started work today?"

[ The crew took a long time off. ]

Qin Yue's voice contained a trace of hoarseness and exhaustion.

The Major General recognized Qin Yue's voice and immediately pricked up his ears.

Ji Li rubbed the dog's head and asked, "What about the ‘@Yue Mi Tu’ account and the marketing company, did you secretly do this behind my back?"

[ You found out so soon. ]

Qin Yue smiled without denying it.

"You didn't slept all night because of this, did you?" Ji Li saw his tiredness, and his heart felt reluctant. "I was afraid that you would be distracted by these trivial things, so I didn't tell you what happened in these two days."

Artists and public opinion have always been inseparable. Ji Li is very used to such disturbances and can handle it properly. He doesn't want Qin Yue to worry about him every time.

[ Of course I know that you can solve it on your own, but I still want to protect you. ]

Qin Yue answered seriously.

He has struggled in the entertainment industry ten years earlier than Ji Li. The achievements and status accumulated in these ten years, why not protect his own lover at this moment?

His lover, Ji Li, who is recognized by the industry, why should he be slandered like this?

Those marketing accounts want to rely on Ji Li to get momentary fame, so he just waved money completely cut off their own source of money.

[ Ji Li, I hope you treat me as a piece of confidence that you should have, not the other half that needs to be concealed and can be pushed away at any time. ]

Lovers should rely on each other emotionally, and support each other when they encounter problems.

Qin Yue originally had a magnetic voice, which seemed particularly affectionate under the amplification of the mobile phone.

Ji Li's heart touched, and of course he understood what Qin Yue meant.

Seeing his lover's eyes gradually turning serious, he replied softly, "Qin Yue, I miss you a little bit."

A few simple words completely dispelled Qin Li's seriousness. He laughed helplessly, [ You really grasp my soft spots. ]

Ji Li smiled, and suddenly received a non-serious sentence, "Where do you have any soft spots? Aren't they all pretty hard."

Qin Yue on the other side of the video raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he re-exported it, stained with a hint of teasing, [ Want to say again? Believe it or not, I will buy a plane ticket and return home. ]

Ji Li hummed twice.

He also couldn't tell when he started to grow confident in front of Qin Yue, now he would always show off thoughts that he had never had before.

Qin Yue took a sip of coffee and focused on the matter, and suddenly raised the matter, [ Do you know that there have been more CP fans of you and Ji Yunqi on the internet? ]

Chen Xi and Song Ran in the play received tears and love from the audience.

When the offline announcement was made, Ji Li and Ji Yunqi also had a very loving interaction, so this CP fans rose up. Yesterday Ji Yunqi took the initiative to speak up to support Ji Li, and the group of CP fans were almost knocked to heaven.

"..."

Ji Li got stuck, when he realized the sourness in Qin Yue's's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "You are busy filming, why are you still monitoring the domestic CP dynamics in real time?"

Qin Yue heard the teasing in his words, and only replied, [ I knew that this way, the second hidden clip should be placed at the end of the movie. There will be nothing about Song Ran and Chen Xi at this moment. ]

When Ji Li heard this, he suddenly remembered something.

When ‘Special Operations’ was finalized, Ji Li actually took two versions of fly pages.

Chen Xi left the place where he died and was reborn later, so he entered the eyes of the ‘giant shark’ behind Shi Ye.

His life was actually saved by the other party.

What they see now is the first version, and the other hidden version is a rivalry between him and Qin Yue.

It was the same scene in the ward, except that after Chen Xi turned around, the camera swept Qin Yue's powerful and dangerous back.

The two looked at each other, the former was firm and the latter was playful, freezing the camera with their own thoughts.

Once this version was released, it was strongly affirmed by Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing. But before the final submission for review, this easter egg fragment was deleted.

Firstly, it is because netizens are used to brain supplements, which may infiltrate the plot too much and cause trouble in script creation.

Secondly, it is because Qin Yue and Ji Li have become real lovers, and they are afraid that too much drama between the two will arouse malicious suspicion from some fans.

Thirdly, it is also because Qin Yue is currently focusing on the overseas market, and the schedule of domestic films is uncertain, so as not to give the audience a fixed impression, he will change actors and start shooting next year, causing everyone's disappointment.

Based on the above reasons, the final hidden clip became the version that the audience saw.

"You are so confident that you can knock the crooked CP fan back as soon as that hidden clip out?"

Qin Yue smiled and did not speak.

They are true lovers who are just right. How can their compatible auras be comparable to others?

Qin Yue changed the subject, [ When will you join the crew? ]

"Next Thursday, I like Director Rong's script very much. There are a lot of reversals. It is estimated that it will be very brain-burning in the eyes of the audience."

Ji Li's hands moved back and forth on the heads of the Snow Cake and the Major General, kneading them happily.

[ As long as you like it. Remember to take care of yourself in the crew. ]

"Okay, so are you."

The two talked for a long time, and Qin Yue hung up the phone reluctantly as he was concerned about Ji Li's sleep time.

─────────────────────

For the next two days, Ji Li was immersed in the script reading.

The script of the movie ‘Reverse Hunting’ is from the screenwriter Kansai.

Six years ago, the film ‘The Lost Lover’ written by him won the ‘Best Feature Film’, ‘Best Screenplay’ and other related awards in the three major domestic film festivals.

This movie ignited the high scores of domestic suspense movies and was regarded by countless people as the ‘best model of Chinese suspense movies’.

Now, ‘Reverse Hunting’ is directed by Rong Tong and screenplayed by Kansai. This movie undoubtedly has a strong collaboration.

So after the film officially announced the male lead, Ji Li's fans and ordinary netizens aroused strong expectations.

In Ji Li's view, the male protagonist setting of ‘Reverse Hunting’ is equally wonderful.

The male lead of the movie is named Mu Qin. His parents were murdered fifteen years ago. He escaped accidentally while hiding in the closet. This incident caused a deep psychological shadow on him, which was indelible until he became an adult.

Growing up in this shadow, Mu Qin has extremely lacked empathy. He was scribbled about his indifferent life, and he often lacked attention to the people around him.

When he was a child, Mu Qin would run to the vegetable market, watching those chickens, ducks, fish and geese being wiped away by the blade, watching the blood mixed in the mud and washed into the sewer.

When he grew up, he studied forensics and worked in related institutions after graduation. He went to various murder scenes and admired the brokenness at the end of his life with a blank expression.

"Mu Qin has a good superficial face with a mutilated and dark soul."

This is the common evaluation of Mu Qin from the people around him.

Few people know that Mu Qin's actions were only to stimulate himself, in order to recall the memory of the murder of his parents fifteen years ago.

Because of the total loss of surveillance and the lack of key evidence, the case of his parents has been unsolved for so many years. Because of this, Mu Qin, who was strongly stimulated, was unable to distinguish the appearance of the murderer.

This matter was hidden in Mu Qin's heart and became his only obsession.

─────────────────────

This kind of extremely complex character is not difficult to interpret.

During this time, Ji Li plunged into the script, trying to figure out the delicate and subtle changes in the male protagonist's heart.

The plot of the script has been repeatedly read by him for six or seven times, but his level of excitement is not reduced at all.

At the beginning of the story, Mu Qin received an anonymous letter package.

There was a yellowed photo hidden in the package. A young couple fell to the ground covered with blood, and the blood tainted a gorgeous flower on the white tiled floor.

When Mu Qin saw this photo, his whole body trembled and he hugged his head in pain.

He has seen all the photos on the scene that year and clearly remembers the angle and scope of each photo. He can conclude that this photo was not taken by the police in the first place!

Sure enough, on the back of this photo, there is a line of specially neat engraving fonts.

"Remembrance, the fifth murder."

As soon as this line came out, Mu Qin felt a sense of fear that he had never had before.

No one has ever told him, and there is not enough evidence to show that the death of his parents is likely to be part of a serial murder case.

Who sent this photo to him?

Is it the murderer?

In addition to the photos, there is also an invitation letter written on black paper.

——Hush.

——Don't tell anyone, let's play a game.

——As long as you come alone, the murderer who killed your parents will die before your eyes.

Mu Qin was bewildered by the words on the letter. He went to check the letter, the exposure, and the fingerprints on the photos were not obtained, and the surveillance at the door of the house did not show any suspicious figures.

These things seemed to appear out of thin air.

After fifteen years, this dusty case suddenly took a turn for the better.

Mu Qin couldn't ignore such clues, so according to the content and address on the letter, he went to participate in the game activity called ‘Catch Xia’.

After the event, he and six other strangers were arranged in the same family hotel.

Mu Qin has a temperament who doesn't like to socialize with others. In the evening, other people played lively in the living room. He stayed in the room by himself until dawn.

The heavy rain lasted all night.

Early the next morning, screams spread throughout the house.

The owner of the guesthouse was hanged to death on the top of his own spiral staircase, and countless blood holes could be seen in his body.

The blood fell from the height with the corpse, and bright flowers bloomed on the ground.

The police arrived and sealed off the scene.

After preliminary investigations, they discovered that the dead hotel owner was the chief culprit in the seven murders that year.

The scene of the first murder was in the grocery room. The knives were stabbed in the deadly part of the deceased, and all the blood holes perfectly copied the wounds of the couple of Mu family back then.

During the time of the incident, only Mu Qin stayed in the room on the second floor of the seven lodging passengers.

The directivity is particularly obvious.

Mu Qin knew very well that he had fallen into the trap of the murderer and was regarded by the opponent as a lamb that could be easily hunted.

In this extremely unfavorable situation, Mu Qin had to start a directional reasoning hunt in order to prove his innocence.

After uncovering layer upon layers, the hidden truths finally emerged little by little.

─────────────────────

Screenwriter Kansai have a big brain and is very novel.

After reading the whole script, Ji Li can't stop the plot of reversal, and the details buried in several places can directly arouse a chill.

In addition to Mu Qin played by Ji Li, the other supporting roles are also super exciting, and the hidden relationships of the characters are even more complicated.

It is not difficult to imagine that under the guidance of Director Rong Tong, who is known as the ‘God of Suspense Movies’, the finished product is definitely a movie worthy of more brushing.

With such expectations, Ji Li finally ushered in the launch day of ‘Reverse Hunting’.

In the first scene after the shoot, Ji Li acted with Fang Mo, the actor who came out again after many years.
