After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 148 The second half of this year

It was always the endorsement that came to him, and this was the first time Li Mingji heard that a celebrity went to win the endorsement by himself.

But it seems that this is not impossible. After all, every industry requires promotion. When he went to audition before, wasn't it considered a self-promotion?

Although most of the auditions he can receive invitations now, after he became popular, there is no shortage of invitations. It is he who chooses the crew and not all the crew chooses him; I have to rely on the company and my agent, Brother Wang, to help me get in touch.

He could start his connections and then beg for an audition opportunity. This is how the fairy tale drama that made him popular came about.

As for the endorsement, it's actually the same thing.

But for Li Mingji now, what he has to do is actually very simple.

"It's enough to 'accidentally' mention their car in public. With your current traffic, every word and deed can be easily searched, and you can buy it if you can't. Naturally, they will notice this, and wait for it when the time comes. Let them contact us..."

"Can this work?" Li Mingji was a little hesitant, afraid that he would not be taken seriously if he showed his favor. Although he didn't particularly care about this kind of face, he was unwilling to do thankless things.

Maybe I will be ridiculed later, this kind of thing is "self-inflicted", and I don't even have the confidence to refute it.

Brother Wang said with a smile: "You have to believe that those people are not fools. They are marketing people who have been exposed to these things all day, so they don't know how to operate them? Even if they just use your relationship to send a few cars to the company, it's impossible My son said none."

Xiao Guang said at this time: "Whether there is a endorsement or not, if there is a free car, then Brother Wang, the two cars you bought today are not for nothing?"

"How can I buy it for free?" Brother Wang said angrily: "If Mingji endorses it, then he can drive this car by himself. If not, he can also drive it in rotation with the other two cars. As long as the contract does not strictly require that he drive it at all times. Just go out in their car and that’s fine.”

"However, in this way, it feels like Brother Mingji's B status has dropped a bit..."

"According to Mingji's thinking, there is no way around this. Besides, cars are different from other things, and the market demand mostly does not coincide with Mingji's fan base. Just like computers, there is another reason. It’s just that people don’t really need celebrity marketing.”

It's just that it's not very necessary, it's not that he can't do it. To put it bluntly, Li Mingji's influence is not that great.

People always need to do research when advertising. Everyone knows who Li Mingji’s fans are, so products such as cosmetics, shoes, watches, clothing, jewelry, and bags will be the first to look for them. Li Mingji endorses, and some even offer very generous conditions.

But some of them are not a question of whether they like it or not, but that people don't look at traffic idols like Li Mingji at all.

"Besides, the thing of force is actually a comparison. We can completely market it as down-to-earth, so it won't be a bad thing for Mingji's reputation."

After all, everyone says that traffic stars are false, and they are all "grounded", so you can't say false anymore.

"That's it." Li Mingji nodded and agreed, "I'll do what Brother Wang said, and let's talk about the rest."

Brother Wang suddenly sighed again and said: "Actually, I still hope that I can find one or two suitable brands from those brands. This way I can keep in touch with them, which will be good for Mingji."

Li Mingji knew what he meant, and wanted to persuade himself to relax a little bit. He shook his head without thinking about it and said, "As it is now, if the last one is not left, then I don't feel that I have lost, but I should avoid lightning in advance." up.

"To put it bluntly, the cooperation period of such a brand is estimated to be long. Who knows when the thunder will suddenly explode, and it will be too late to regret it. It's better to figure it out now, and maybe we can still keep one or two. Is it worth long-term cooperation?"

Of course, long-term cooperation depends on his own efforts. If he passes out in a few years, don't think about the "old love" that others can still remember.

Brother Wang nodded and stopped persuading him any more. After all, although Li Mingji himself said that he was a "little willful", Brother Wang also knew that this was the correct way to deal with it.

There are too many people in this circle who lose their minds because of money. Although they may not get any consequences, they can still live a good life, but in terms of conscience...not many, they don't have a conscience at all.

Li Mingji just chose a correct path that most people would not choose. Given the choice, Brother Wang had no reason to oppose him.

After all, as an ordinary person, who doesn't have the dream of rebelling against this world?
"That's it. I'm still following up on the follow-up. Xiaoguang, hurry up and read all the materials, and then help me see if there is anything I missed..."

Xiaoguang nodded, and then Brother Wang said: "Okay, I'm leaving first, I promised my daughter to pick her up today, and you don't have to ask me for dinner."

"Are you going home tonight?"

"Yes, my wife has cooked a table of good dishes, and the family has a small gathering. I can't treat her kindly." A warm smile appeared on Wang Ge's face, which was the warmth of home.

Xiao Guang immediately went forward, licking his face, and said, "When are you going to invite us to visit your house, I haven't tasted my sister-in-law's handicraft yet."

"When I'm not so busy, I'll have a chance." Brother Wang just said perfunctorily, not because he has any opinion on Xiaoguang, but he doesn't want to confuse work with life, and although he and Xiaoguang are no longer It's a purely working relationship, but I don't dare to get too close.

In his opinion, this may break a certain balance, which is also a little pedantic of Brother Wang.

However, Xiaoguang just asked for fun, and didn't take it seriously. After being rejected, he turned around and went back to continue looking at his own information.

On the other side, Aya, who originally wanted to say something, saw that Xiaoguang had hit a wall, so she simply said nothing.

On the contrary, Brother Wang looked back at Li Mingji, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but swallowed it back, then turned around and waved his hands: "See you tomorrow!"

I didn't even bring my briefcase. It seemed that I really planned to do nothing tonight and concentrate on my family life. I guess I had to pay the public food tonight.

Li Mingji watched him go out and close the door, shaking his head with a smile. Then seeing that Xiaoguang and Aya were doing their own things, he simply took out the script and flipped through it first.

They ate very simple dinner, they still ordered takeaway, and then the three of them went back to their respective houses at night and continued to do their own things.

Even if you read it seriously, one night is enough for Li Mingji to finish most of the script.

For this new script, Li Mingji basically knew what he had changed, and he could see what Director Lu had modified.

He didn't completely copy his own suggestions, not to mention that Li Mingji's suggestions were not fully mature, and his personal views were too clear. There is logic throughout.

Therefore, although it is only a modification of some details, the general direction is still maintained, but sometimes it affects the whole body, and other corresponding areas need to be improved accordingly.

But maybe he himself will be surprised, because after this modification, the characters of the hero and heroine do not actually produce any sense of disobedience, but are more full.

Because the two love each other, many of the male protagonist's behaviors have more reasonable explanations, while the female protagonist has changed from a green tea performance in some people's eyes to a kind, brave, courageous, smart and lovable person. This is considered a relatively large change.

It's also a good thing that the role has not been determined yet, otherwise the heroine might be surprised why she suddenly has to change her acting style.

However, the setting of the heroine itself is a vase, even if it is changed in this way, it is still a vase, so it has little impact on the whole story.

Looking at it this way, Li Mingji was basically satisfied, and some details added by Lu Xing supplemented the changes he suggested. For example, regarding the identity and background of the heroine, he adopted the opinions of the fisherman's daughter, which also helped to save the boy later. The protagonist dives and swims as a foreshadowing.

At the same time, there have been many descriptions of the heroine sitting by the window looking at the river outside, these are all foreshadowing.

At the same time, the reason why the heroine was sold into the Jiaofang Division was also because she was sold into an official's house by a drunken father. As a result, when the official's house was ransacked, she was also implicated.

Of course, the ransacking has nothing to do with the hero, otherwise it would be as bloody as the original.

The male protagonist and the female protagonist had known each other and had a good impression of each other, but they couldn't be together by accident. As a result, when they were performing official duties, they found her in the Jiaofang Division and paid attention to her.

After that, it is natural to reunite, get to know each other, and then stay together. It just needs manipulation and money management to redeem the heroine. Therefore, at the beginning of the story, there will be a scene where the hero tries to raise money.

In this way, the emotional line between the two is clearly connected. Although it is also very clichéd, but without the blood of the original version, at least Li Mingji seems to feel a lot more comfortable.

The characters of the male and female protagonists are also more tenable.

Ordinary people are ordinary people, but ordinary people do not have to show their ugly or humble side in order to be called "ordinary" and resonate with a broad audience.

On the contrary, some truly ordinary personalities and choices forced by life, although imperfect but helpless, are what attract the audience.

Apart from these, the main story naturally does not need to be changed, and from Li Mingji's own point of view, it is not easy to jump out of more thorns.

Because first of all, one thing must be made clear. This is a martial arts film. If the central idea is in place and the core action scenes are done, then the film will not be much different.

Cover up the biggest blemishes now and the rhythm will be better and it will look better.

So early the next morning, Li Mingji took the script and said to Brother Wang: "Call Director Lu and the others, and say that I agree in principle, but we have to wait until the discussion with the company is over."

Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Are you trying to help the company put pressure on him?"

This is different from what was agreed before. Could it be that Li Mingji changed his mind again?
Li Mingji shook his head and said, "Where do you want to go, I just hope that they will get the preparatory work done quickly, and then make good budget and training arrangements."

This is different from the shooting of "Bodyguard", and it is the lesson of "Bodyguard" that made him understand the importance of practicing in advance.

Otherwise, he would have to massage his back and back every day, which would not necessarily eliminate the fatigue, and he still has some sequelae to this day.

But if you prepare in advance, after training, and slowly enter the state, it will undoubtedly be much better.

"Isn't this too fast? You just came out of a crew. The interval between them is less than half a month. You said you wanted to take it easy. Why do you feel like you are working harder than before?" Wang said. Brother frowned, really puzzled.

I used to catch up with dramas, but to be honest, most of those dramas were not difficult. Even literary dramas were bad plots of idol dramas, and there was nothing nutritious.

But these few movies selected now, could it be that it takes a lot of mental energy, just watching it will make you feel exhausted.

Brother Wang couldn't understand why Li Mingji was so unwilling to "let go of himself"...

"If you don't work hard now, don't you regret it when you get old?" After Li Mingji poured himself a mouthful of poisonous chicken soup, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "How can this preparation be so fast? According to Director Lu and Producer Wang and the others said last time that apart from the script and director, everything else is still to be determined.

"In this case, after the investment is in place, you still have to audition, cast a role, and choose a scene. This kind of drama is different from 'Bodyguard'. Although the scene is relatively simple, it should be in the film and television city. Can get most of it done...

"There is also the issue of clothing, not to mention, these have nothing to do with us, we don't need to worry about it. How much time and energy will be spent on these, if you don't drive faster, according to the progress of filming, think about it How long will it take to start filming?
"So now after a little urging, I don't think there is any problem at all. If you are still worried, you can also tell them directly about my thoughts and say that I hope to start filming as soon as possible, so the training location must be mentioned first. schedule……"

To be honest, Diao Weiya is still very familiar with the former because of his experience in filming fairy tales, but it is completely unfamiliar to Li Mingji now.

Fortunately, this is a low-level world of martial arts. There are not so many fights, but most of them are more realistic fights, but with weapons added. This is the real difficulty. Even the predecessor has not had much contact with it.

"Alright then," Brother Wang nodded, followed by a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect that the second half of the year's work would start so soon..."

"It's okay, the real 'second half of the year' is coming soon, I think we can take out the scripts of the second half of the year that we have screened before and have a look, see if we can book one or two more projects .”

The reason why Li Mingji, who had always told Brother Wang to take his time and "take it easy", suddenly changed his work attitude was also because of what Pei Mingde said, he had to sharpen himself through a lot of practice.

And try more and be brave enough to try.
