Chapter 398
Suisui's Thousand Layer Routine
This is the first time that Ling Suisui has participated in the awards competition for "Easy As Pie" in the mainland, but it is not the first time she has won an award for this movie this year.
In February and April of this year, she won the Best Actress awards at the Asian Film Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards respectively. The trophies were received by Tang Bing and Chen Yuening on her behalf, which made her CP fans very excited.
However, after the fans listed online that other actors and colleagues from other crews had also helped Ling Sui receive awards, the candy didn't taste so sweet anymore and became the ubiquitous white rice.
Rather than who accepted the award for her, netizens were obviously more concerned about - it has been five years since "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was released. Is Ling Sui going to sweep all the awards again this year?
"The Unmarriageable Sister" was released three years ago. Although this work has a higher score on Huaban and a better reputation on the Internet, its performance in box office and awards is still slightly inferior to "The Great Warrior".
But this year, "Easy As Pie" entered the awards period and its performance in the first few months was also quite impressive. Many netizens have speculated that the number of trophies that "Graceful and Elegant" can bring to Ling Sui will definitely be no less than Wu You.
After all, this movie brought Ling Suisui her second Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and she also won in the four major awards.
Although she did not win an Oscar, just being nominated was beyond the expectations of most netizens.
No one expected that "Easy As Pie" was not registered for the Best International Film, but directly participated in the competition for the Best Picture. Of course, as a work that has been released in North America, it certainly qualifies.
The second Oscar was nominated and it fell into Ling Sui's hands so easily.
Curious netizens are making predictions about the opening, while those who like to gossip are counting the days.
The Huabiao Awards are at the end of May, and the Directors Association Awards will be held in June. I also need to pay more attention to and count more foreign awards... I'm so busy, and the various awards are updated too quickly. I can't keep up with the performance charts.
Otherwise, why not include the awards that were only nominated? There are too many words to see clearly.
Only Sui Si can understand this kind of happy troubles.
Inside the award ceremony venue of Huabiao, the main creators of "Easy As Palm" sat together.
Ling Sui had just sat down for a short while and before she had time to catch her breath, people came looking for her one after another. Chen Yuening, who was sitting next to her, almost became her agent and answered many questions for her.
Hou Yuanfeng, who was mixed in the crowd, felt that he had made a big mistake.
Sure enough, she could think of a way to meet backstage at the event, and others could think of it too... Not everyone can enter the backstage, but who in the film industry doesn't have a few relatives and friends?
Hou Yuanfeng was not thick-skinned enough and ultimately failed to squeeze in.
In fact, it is not impossible to squeeze in, but this is the inner field of Huabiao, not a roadside vegetable market. If it really becomes noisy and crowded, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
She rolled her eyes in her heart and glared at a male actor who was squeezed to the front.
She remembered him - this guy liked to portray himself as a "gentleman" when filming reality shows, and he was obviously giving the female guests some slack during the game sessions, even though they didn't necessarily need it.
Humph, it didn't matter if he gave way during the game, he got the praise anyway, and it was none of his business if the female guest was scolded; but when it came to something that really concerned his own interests, his utilitarianism became more urgent than anyone else, and he lost all his manners.
Hou Yuanfeng knew that the other party had no obligation to give way to her, but she was very, very unhappy at the moment.
It’s a pity that she had a good impression of this actor before...but now, it’s considered very decent of her not to stop being a fan and turn against him.
She pretended to pass by, took a few quick steps in another direction, and left the encirclement.
When she couldn't help but look back and found that the male actor didn't talk to Ling Suisui and was just left there awkwardly, she immediately felt refreshed and her mammary ducts became unblocked.
Alas, there are too many people who want to meet Ling Sui, so she should try to arrange a private meeting.
It was not until the event was about to begin that Ling Sui finally dealt with all the people who came to talk to her.
She is not familiar with many people, and she doesn't even know some of them at all, but the entertainment industry is still a society of personal relationships, and people value showing some affection when meeting someone. At least she should not hit someone who smiles at her.
The bigger the celebrity you are, the less you should act like a celebrity.
“That’s probably how I changed from e to i.” Ling Suisui complained, “Ineffective socializing has greatly drained my enthusiasm for social activities.”
Chen Yuening deeply agrees. Although he is not as famous as Ling Suisui, he debuted earlier and has been exposed to these things longer than her.
He handed her a bottle of water and had already torn off the label. This is the water provided by the organizer, but the one endorsed by Ling Suisui is a competing product.
"Thanks."
Ling Suisui unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down half of the bottle. She felt dry mouth because she had just talked too much.
Chen Yuening guessed that she definitely didn't want to chat at the moment, so he just sat there quietly without saying anything.
There was no suspense about the award results tonight, and "Easy As Pie" became the biggest winner. Ling Sui took home the Best Actress trophy, successfully achieving her second win.
Tang Bing organized a plan and said he would take the main creators out for a midnight snack. Ling Suisui was the first to respond and ordered crayfish.
Chen Yuening looked at her and said that he would go too, then sent a message to his assistant to cancel tonight's flight and reschedule it to tomorrow.
After arriving at the private room, Tang Bing originally wanted Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening to sit on her left and right. After all, they were the leading actors in the movie and were both students she had taught. However, she did not expect that after Ling Suisui sat down on her right, Chen Yuening very naturally followed suit and sat one seat to the right.
Tang Bing raised her eyebrows. Is there something going on?
But facing her inquiring gaze, the two of them looked very calm. It was unclear whether they were really fine or if their acting skills had improved.
Young people nowadays...
No, they are not considered "young people" anymore. If they were put in a romance novel, they would be at the age when their love could blossom.
Although he was not in Guangdong Province at the time, Ling Suisui still poured the tea into the bowl and scalded the tableware first.
She looked up and was about to call the waiter when she found that there was already a basin on the table. Chen Yuening even turned around the table and moved the basin in front of her.
"You're becoming more and more like my assistant." Ling Suisui thanked him first, then teased, "Do you really want to take Xixi's job?"
Chen Yuening smiled but said nothing. What’s an assistant? She has been in the industry for so many years and has changed assistants countless times.
Although these assistants were promoted and are still working at Harvest Media, what Chen Yuening wants to achieve is the effect of being "irreplaceable", which is much more difficult than being a good assistant.
He asked in a low voice: "Do you need something from the teacher?"
Ling Suisui hummed, not surprised that he had seen through it.
She guessed that Teacher Tang Bing should have thought of it as well. After all, she had agreed too quickly and too enthusiastically.
Chen Yuening continued to whisper: "Can I help you with anything?"
Ling Suisui shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary, as she had already found someone to help.
A table of people were having a lively midnight snack. Ling Sui put on gloves and peeled a bowl of crayfish for Tang Bing.
Tang Bing smiled and pushed the bowl away: "It is said that those who show kindness to others for no reason are either treacherous or thieves. What evil things are you hiding in your mind? Tell me about it."
Ling Suisui pushed the bowl towards her again: "Teacher, what you said makes me so sad. How could I have any bad intentions? I just want to show my filial piety to you."
"Don't come on, I don't know you yet."
Tang Bing pushed the bowl back to her again: "No merit, no reward. You speak first, and I'll eat later."
Ling Suisui felt regretful in his heart, the teacher is worthy of being a teacher.
She rubbed her hands and told Tang Bing the outline of the project "Three Generations" and the role setting of Qin Meijuan.
"You want me to play Qin Meijuan?"
Just as Ling Suisui had imagined, Tang Bing refused without a second thought: "I don't shoot a lot of movies now, go and mess with other people instead of staring at your teacher."
"If I hadn't asked you to act, how could I not let you rest?"
Ling Suisui quickly explained: "I want to find Teacher Qi Xuan."
Oh, looking for Qi Xuan?
Tang Bing didn't want to go and film the movie by herself, but if she was to find Qi Xuan...
Tang Bing's eyes lit up: "Tell me about this project in detail."
She had heard a while ago that Qi Xuan was planning to retire. If she could trick her into... no, inviting her to come out and film a movie, making her leisurely days gone forever, Tang Bing felt that she could no longer suppress the smile on her face.
Why retire? Qi Xuan is now at the age to venture out and explore the world!
Tang Bing was trying to hold back her laughter, Ling Suisui was also trying to hold back her smile, Chen Yuening could even see her hands secretly pinching her waist behind her back.
——With Ling Sui's ability to manage facial expressions, she actually needs to use such a distracting action. What funny thing did she think of?
The teacher and student had a very enjoyable chat about the character of Qin Meijuan. Tang Bing had more life experience than Ling Suisui and had a better understanding of the mentality of middle-aged and elderly women. She gave Ling Suisui a lot of suggestions.
Whether it was to perfect the students' work or to increase the difficulty of Qi Xuan's performance, Tang Bing was not selfish and was committed to making the character of Qin Meijuan more three-dimensional, more complex, more down-to-earth, and more able to break away from the stereotype label and truly walk out of the screen.
Speaking of the above, Ling Suisui sighed again and said that he was worried that he would not be able to invite Teacher Qi Xuan.
I'm not very familiar with her, what if she doesn't want to come?
Tang Bing glanced at her sideways: "Do you really need to be so tactful about such a small matter? You treat me as an outsider! She probably hasn't slept yet. I'll give her a video call and try to help you settle this matter tonight."
Qi Xuan really hasn't slept yet. When Qi Xuan first learned about Tang Bing's purpose, she refused and even wanted to hang up the phone.
But who is Tang Bing? She is a director who was able to attract hundreds of millions of dollars in investment for her first movie. Tonight, she showed Qi Xuan and Ling Sui what a silver tongue is.
Tang Bing analyzed the situation for her from many angles, from the character itself to the plot, from Qi Xuan's own career to the prospects of the entire industry. Qin Meijuan is a good character, and "Three Generations" is a good work. The burden of setting a new trend in the film and television industry will fall on you, Qi Xuan!
Stand up, the younger ones are watching you!
The call lasted for half an hour, and Qi Xuan's attitude changed from resolutely refusing to answer the call to gradually softening. Finally, she said hesitantly that she asked Ling Suisui to give her a few more days to think about it.
Ling Sui was about to agree when Tang Bing glared at him. Can she hesitate at this time? Once she has made up her mind, she will definitely not come. How can that be possible! Tang Bing had already decided when to visit the set, and then she would sit there leisurely, watching Qi Xuan working hard on the set.
Tang Bing continued to encourage: "Oh, this is really a great work. If you weren't the first choice in Sui Sui's heart, I would also want to act in it!"
Qi Xuan obviously didn't believe it. She snorted and said that Tang Bing was Ling Suisui's teacher. With Ling Suisui's personality, would he skip her and think directly of himself?
"I'm not lying to you. This is real." Tang Bing swore, "Are you going to act or not? If you really don't want to act, then I will act."
——Based on her understanding of Qi Xuan, she uses the method of provoking her, and it always works!
Qi Xuan frowned: "Is this true? Even you want to play this role, is this role really that good?"
"Of course. How can a script customized by my students be bad?"
Having said that, Tang Bing did not forget to show off proudly. She continued to stimulate Qi Xuan: "I really want to act. If you say you don't want to act now, I will sign a contract with Sui Sui on the spot."
According to Tang Bing's idea, Qi Xuan would get anxious in the next second when it comes to this point.
However, things were beyond her expectations.
Qi Xuan smiled at the camera and said, "Okay, then sign the contract quickly. I'm going to sleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Suisui quickly took out a contract and a pen from her bag as if by magic.
Ling Suisui even took off the pen cap and held the pen in both hands and held it in front of her.
"Teacher, everything is ready for you."
——Of course, this contract only serves as a letter of intent.
The specific terms involved in the filming process certainly cannot be drafted so hastily.
Tang Bing: ...
Tang Bing:? ? ?
She finally realized what was going on. It turned out that Ling Suisui had colluded with Qi Xuan a long time ago, and the two of them teamed up to trick her!
Chen Yuening was still saying, "Teacher, I heard everything just now, you have to keep your word!"
Ling Sui turned around and gave him an approving look.
Chen Yuening was really perceptive tonight, so I’ll give him some credit first.
Tang Bing was made to laugh by two people, no, three people. She hung up the video call first, and then tapped Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening on the head.
"You guys have really become more capable!" Tang Bing knocked Ling Suisui again, "Especially you, you dare to use your tricks on me? You are lawless!"
Ling Suisui carefully looked at Tang Bing's expression, and seeing that the teacher didn't seem to be really angry, he playfully took Tang Bing's arm and stuffed the pen into her hand.
"Teacher, please help me... I really need a mother, a good mother. Is the relationship between us any different from that between a real mother and daughter?"
Tang Bing snorted and told Ling Suisui to get up from her.
He is in his thirties and is a famous star in the outside world. Why does he act like a baby now?
She continued scolding, but still held the pen in her right hand and signed her name on the letter of intent.
"Take it back!" Tang Bing scolded with a smile, "Since you want to shoot it, do it well. If any link is not in place, I will not let you off!"
Ling Suisui happily put away the contract and stuffed it back into her bag.
In fact, the most important thing is that Tang Bing nodded in agreement. The contract on paper doesn’t matter.
The midnight snack party continued, and Chen Yuening thought about the plot of "Three Generations" he had just heard, and another idea came to his mind.
He asked Ling Suisui if she had any plans for male characters at the moment. He felt that he could play——
Ling Suisui: "After knowing the existence of Qin Miaoyi, he really wanted to know if she was his child. Is he the ex-boyfriend who kept pestering Qin Wenjing?"
Chen Yuening: …
He swallowed hard and said that he had been working out and could play the role of a sports student.
"That's not necessary." Ling Suisui refused straightforwardly, "I can find a truly young, handsome and energetic actor. There's no need to embarrass you by pretending to be young."
A real, young, handsome and energetic actor.
Chen Yuening felt like he was hit by an arrow in the chest. Did Ling Suisui think he was very old?
