Chapter 74
Ling Zihan or Zhang Suisui
After Ling Sui asked Xia Tian for help, she didn't receive any message from Ying Nian until school started.
The system was very sorry and said that her achievement of sending messages to the male protagonist continuously for xx days was broken. Yingnian was the most diligent one in sending messages to her among her three possible targets!
As for the other two, Chen Yuening is her classmate, and she won't post if she can see her at school; although Chi Jia posts a lot, his frequency is unstable. Only Yingnian insists on checking in every day, but now this achievement has been abandoned halfway.
There's nothing to regret about Ling Suisui, it's broken so be it.
It would be nice to have the chance to spin the wheel, but it was more important to reduce her troubles in real life. The system is just a tool to fleece the sheep, Ling Suisui can distinguish the primary from the secondary.
However, when she checked Yingnian's favorability towards her, the number was still firmly at one hundred.
...In other words, although Ying Nian no longer actively looked for her after the blow he suffered, he still missed her?
Ling Suisui briefly thought about this possibility and shrugged.
Never mind. Let him be. Anyway, she will definitely repay the favor she owes him, and her feelings towards him will not change.
During the period before school started, Ling Suisui read the script of "Freedom House" while taking time to practice rock climbing and light gun. She also did fitness, horse riding and swordsmanship. Her daily life was very fulfilling and busy.
Since confirming her role in "Freedom House", Ling Sui has added a lot of comedies to her movie-watching list, and also watched director Yin Mingcheng's representative work "Urban Men and Women" again.
In that drama, there is also a character who is often assigned long lines, or long shots without any pauses in the middle.
When Ling Suisui was watching the drama as a viewer, she just laughed along, but now that she is about to become an actor in Yin Mingcheng's crew, she feels a lot of pressure.
The lines cannot be wrong, the speaking rhythm cannot be wrong, the facial expressions cannot be wrong, the reactions and movements cannot be wrong... even if one detail is wrong, everything has to be done again, and everyone must redo it with you.
For this reason, Ling Sui always carries her camera wherever she goes. She now often practices comedy lines and rhythm in front of the camera. Every morning when she wakes up, she will review the results of the previous day's practice and think about how to improve today.
This matter must be left until the next morning. If it was done that night, Ling Suisui would not be able to sleep.
In September, Ling Suisui stopped taking any work and set off for the imperial capital.
Tong Xiaoman said that a script-killing variety show had obtained the authorization for "Ding Fengbo" and wanted to invite her to play Qin Xian, but Ling Suisui turned her down.
On the one hand, she had started school and had no time; on the other hand, she was actually not very willing to put on Qin Xian's costume and appear on the variety show.
She doesn't need to suck the paper man's blood to maintain her popularity, nor does she want to destroy Qin Xian's image in the audience's mind.
May the beautiful white moonlight remain forever at the moment of her heroic death.
Ling Sui was on a plane going to school. As soon as she walked out of the corridor bridge, someone held up a camera and took pictures of her.
Ling Suisui, who flew to the imperial capital alone, could only walk a few steps faster and quickly leave the exit to avoid blocking others' way.
Fans asked her questions one after another. They were concerned about a variety of issues, but the most frequently asked question was, "When will you join the group?"
As expected, all the fans are career fans.
Ling Suisui: "At present, the focus is still on studying. If there are arrangements for joining the group, we will inform everyone in time."
Her studio has a simple staff structure and confidentiality is particularly easy to maintain. This cake will not be leaked until the contract is officially signed.
After all, in the entertainment industry, accidents happen faster than tomorrow, and you can only make a fortune by keeping quiet.
The fans were somewhat disappointed, but when they thought about Ling Sui's status as a student, they felt it was understandable.
It’s okay, she will graduate in two years and she will be only 21 years old then, still young. Learning acting now is like sharpening the knife before chopping wood.
When we got to the luggage carousel, there were still a few fans waiting.
Ling Suisui signed autographs for them one by one, and passers-by nearby also took out their mobile phones to take pictures and join in the fun.
"Hey, are you that... Zhang Zihan? Are you the actress who plays Zhang Zihan?"
"Yes." Ling Suisui nodded and admitted, "Hello, my name is Ling Suisui."
She already knew that the character was more popular than the person.
It’s better on Weibo. In the comment section of the official Douban, the most liked posts are basically those calling her Zhang Zihan. Some people even said that she looks familiar and that she seemed to have played Qin Xian.
Hearing that "Zhang Zihan" was here, more and more interested passers-by came over with their phones in hand.
"Is this the star? She's so beautiful."
"I know her. This is Zhang Zihan. She's even prettier than on TV."
"Come quickly, come quickly, Ling Zihan is here! It's Ling Zihan!"
"You're wrong, her name is Zhang Suisui, you're a fake fan."
Ling Suisui: ...
To be honest, you are not much better...
More and more people gathered around, and Ling Sui saw that the situation was not good and wanted to slip away quickly, but there were even more people waiting for her at the exit.
As soon as she appeared, fans screamed and blocked the road ahead.
Fortunately, the imperial capital airport is experienced and is accustomed to the commotion caused by the arrival of celebrities. They quickly dispatched staff to restore order, and Ling Suisui dragged the suitcase out, took out his mobile phone to check the license plate, and quickly got on the online-hailing car.
She gave the last digit of Kang Le's cell phone number, and the assistant called a taxi for her.
Ling Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief after the car drove away.
I was careless...I didn't expect that she is so popular offline now?
In fact, there weren't many fans who came to pick her up today, but there were mostly passers-by who just wanted to join in the fun. They didn't know Ling Suisui, but they knew "Zhang Zihan". When the person on TV appeared at the airport, didn't they just want to take a look?
She may not be able to beat Peanut in terms of traffic, but in terms of popularity and national recognition, she is probably miles ahead of them.
As the hit drama of the year, "The Name on the Golden List" has a lot of fans and it's not exaggerated.
Ling Sui was looking at her phone in the car when the driver, who had been very quiet before, suddenly spoke.
"Are you a celebrity? The Zhang Zihan on TV?"
…The driver recognized her, but not completely.
Ling Suisui nodded: "Yes, I am."
The driver said happily: "I really like your drama! It's great that you got admitted to Peking University. Our whole family is very happy!"
"Hey, why is your destination not Peking University but the Film Academy?"
Ling Suisui: ...
Uncle, that is to say, is it possible that Zhang Zihan is just a role, and she is the actor herself?
When Ling Sui arrived at the destination, he also recorded a video to encourage his daughter for the exam at the driver's request.
——The other person’s child is nine years old this year and there are 3199 days left before the college entrance examination. I wish her good luck.
**
After the fall semester started, Ling Sui entered his junior year.
When she returned to school, she also prepared a gift for Xia Tian to celebrate the fact that the short film she starred in won the Silver Bear Award from the Short Film Jury at the Berlin Film Festival.
This news did not appear in the roommate group, because the short film award is relatively niche and not highly noticed on the Internet, and also because the other two members of dormitory 404 are in the trough of their careers and Xia Tian did not want to publicize it.
Xiang Yanchu's situation is similar to that during the summer vacation. Her current exposure is not enough for her to maintain her original popularity. The life-saving S+ big project cannot be broadcast, and her other inventory does not seem to be likely to become a hit.
Her current position is very awkward. Better resources look down on her, and she looks down on inferior resources. She doesn't want to lower her own value, but she is also worried that if she waits any longer, the result will only be worse.
Not to mention Wen Jiayan, she can't get any job at the moment. Although Ling Suisui encouraged her to try "Freedom House" again, and she worked hard for more than a month to adjust her state, she still ran into a wall with director Yin Mingcheng.
The other three comforted her, and Wen Jiayan said that she was mentally prepared.
"Nothing in the world will necessarily have a good result just because you have worked hard. Besides, I have a contract dispute and debuted through a talent show, so I have a lot of debuffs on me."
Coming from a talent show means traffic advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious. In the impression of many viewers, idol show-offs = bad acting skills, who come to TV shows to make quick money.
Wen Jiayan had nothing to say about this. No matter how many grievances she has suffered, the one thing she has enjoyed the benefits of traffic is something she cannot deny.
Wen Jiayan sighed and said, "If Director Yin's requirement is 10 points, then I have to achieve 15 points to have a fair chance to compete with others."
She understood the director's concerns. She couldn't blame anyone else but herself.
Xiang Yanchu, who also debuted through a talent show, was also sighing. At the same time, she was deeply confused.
Those glorious moments since debut seem like they happened just yesterday. Clearly, she was performing on the Spring Festival Gala stage last year?
At that time, both her fans and everyone in the entire group, although they had a brief fear about the future, still firmly believed that things would get better and better.
How come everything has changed in just a year and a half?
Outdated, obsolete, forgotten by fans... These words, which sound like they should have happened to the previous generation, have already happened to them.
Why is this happening? Is it because they didn’t do something well enough?
——Ling Suisui can give an answer to such questions.
It has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just because there are no works that fans have lost the novelty of being attracted to the character.
This is domestic entertainment. There will always be idols who are younger, better looking, more in line with market demand, and more able to please fans than you.
No matter how beautiful the traffic bubble is, it will disappear one day.
