Chapter 150
Xu Han: Climb the wall and dance in front of the real owner
Even though it's embarrassing to be run over, we still have to find the right person.
Li Mingxu rushed in and Xu Han didn't argue with him since he was the first one to get in.
Ling Suisui looked at Li Mingxu's first. She glanced at it briefly to confirm that this biography was his own summary, not a copy and paste of selected paragraphs from the script, and then she quickly read it through.
Fortunately, Ling Suisui's previous teaching in the game was somewhat effective for him, and his understanding of the character was basically in line with the script, and he didn't make any serious OOC jokes, but in many places it was too general and broad.
She pointed to one of the passages and said, "What you wrote here is that Zhou Cishuo and Xu Fangfei met by chance while listening to gossip. After they had a common secret, Zhou Cishuo's attitude towards Xu Fangfei changed -"
"What kind of change is it? What was his original attitude, and what has it become after this incident?"
Li Mingxu was stunned. He tried to recall the plot of the script and asked tentatively, "He started to like her?"
Ling Suisui pointed to another place and said, "But what you wrote here is that Zhou Cishuo was very unhappy when he saw Xu Fangfei talking to her cousin, and then he realized that he was attracted to Xu Fangfei."
"Then tell me, when did Zhou Cishuo start to like Xu Fangfei?"
Li Mingxu couldn't explain it either. He said vaguely, "It's just that we fell in love after spending so much time together..."
"That answer won't work." Ling Suisui interrupted him bluntly, "You have to know that the most important selling point of Peach Blossom Blazing is this pair of characters. Most of the audience watched it for that. The audience wants to see how the characters get along, so the actors have to figure out the emotions of each scene."
"Besides, we didn't shoot according to the chronological order of the script, so you don't have the opportunity to have a natural, gradual emotional change. Therefore, you have to get through every node of the couple's emotional changes, so that no matter which part you capture, you can give the appropriate emotion and reaction."
Of course, she could tell him directly that during the time when they were listening to gossip together, Zhou Cishuo was not attracted to Xu Fangfei, but just felt a sense of resonance, thinking that "it turns out that you and I have the same hobbies." From then on, the impression of Xu Fangfei in his mind changed from the wife that the elders had to give him to gradually towards "one of our own".
However, if food is fed too easily, Li Mingxu will not cherish it and will develop bad habits.
Ling Suisui just said it herself, the biggest selling point of this drama is the character CP. What she needs is a male protagonist who can be on par with her (even if her aura is weakened by 70%). Otherwise, if the audience can’t get enough sweetness, don’t even think about the idol drama getting good ratings.
Do what you love and love what you do. Even though he is acting in idol dramas, Ling Sui does not have the blind confidence that "the audience of this drama comes for me and it's all I need to do as a good actor."
People, never become the person you hate the most.
After reading the biography, she picked out a few more similar questions.
For example, “I think she is very special” – what kind of specialness is she and why is she special? "We are getting more and more in sync with each other" - are there any specific words or actions that can show this?
"The purpose of a character biography is to help actors understand their roles. Actors must have specific emotions when performing, because the audience is not a worm in your stomach, and there will definitely be errors and losses in the process of conveying emotions."
Let alone performing something, even if it is narrated in the most concise and clear language, there will be a little information deviation due to the narrator's language habits, tone and rhythm.
If the actors perform in detail, the audience may only feel the general idea; if the actors only perform in general, they will be like a piece of wood in the audience's perspective. The audience of idol dramas is destined not to be a group with a high appreciation of performances.
Ling Sui gave the assignment a score of 60 and asked him to take it back and rewrite it.
The problems she pointed out are just individual examples, not all. She asked Li Mingxu to check it himself along this line of thought and expand all the general words into specific descriptions.
Fortunately, Li Mingxu had already been hit once by Xu Han at the door, which lowered his psychological expectations, so he was not too sad to get this result.
He nodded seriously, and met Xu Han again after going out.
It’s hard to explain why, but when he saw her, Li Mingxu suddenly felt a strong desire to win.
I heard that Xu Han was Sister Sui's junior at the Film Academy, and it was Ling Sui who specially recommended her to the director and got her into the crew.
Li Mingxu didn't have any opinion on the matter of stuffing people in. He had seen too many such things. But if Xu Han wanted to compete with him for the first place in currying favor with others, that was absolutely not possible!
Are you kidding? He was here first!
Li Mingxu glared at her in what he thought was a subtle way, and Xu Han looked puzzled.
She didn't say anything on the surface, but immediately complained to Ling Suisui after entering.
Ling Suisui said: "If you imagine his mental age as three years old, many things will make sense."
Xu Han: …
I have to say, it’s really true.
She also handed Ling Suisui a brief biography, and Ling Suisui read the content much more seriously.
He has the foundation of a professional student, and Xu Han is also an excellent student recommended by the teacher. There is nothing wrong with this biography. Ling Sui also discussed some details with Xu Han and listened to her thoughts.
While they were chatting, Qi Xiaoqing came in and told Ling Suisui that Chi Jia would come to visit the set today.
"Well, he told me yesterday." Ling Suisui said casually, "You can contact the producer and ask him to buy some milk tea or coffee. Don't make a big fuss, so as not to affect the filming."
Qi Xiaoqing made an OK gesture, and Ling Sui saw Xu Han's expression out of the corner of his eye, and he seemed a little excited.
"Do you like Chi Jia?"
Xu Han said embarrassedly: "I used to like him very much... When I was in school, I bought a few boxes of milk to vote for him. I couldn't finish it by myself, so I gave it to my classmates, and then I went to recycle the bottle caps."
Hearing her say this, Ling Suisui was not surprised. After all, Chi Jia had been a top star in the domestic entertainment industry for many years, so it was quite normal to meet his fans.
I hope that in a few years, "I like Ling Suisui" can become a widely used social common language.
Xu Han also said: "I watched Jin Bang Ti Ming before I went to college, and I really liked it at that time. Later, when the game was broadcast and there was a senior sister, and Chi Jia sang the theme song, I was so excited that I recharged my membership the day before the broadcast."
Ling Sui nodded after listening to this. It seemed that there was one missing member in the list of games that brought in tens of millions of new members according to Aoqi's statistics.
"Thank you for helping the first-day streaming volume," she said with a smile. "Investing on the first day was a timely help."
The two chatted a little more about the game, and Xu Han congratulated her: "The effective broadcast volume of the online game has exceeded 15 billion, and it may join the 20 billion club this year."
It is July now, and there is still half a year left until the end of the year. Given the long tail of the game, it is indeed very possible.
The real blockbuster "Game is Online" not only does not need any qualifiers, but even the way it becomes a blockbuster is so hexagonal - it has both instantaneous high explosion and stable endurance, which would make the top management of Aoqi laugh in their dreams.
In addition to the main actors, Chi Jia, who attracted traffic to the drama in the early stages, also benefited from the hit drama. The theme song of the same name he wrote and sang topped multiple music platforms, and it is also his most popular single in many years since his debut.
This song allowed Chi Jia to successfully transform and enter the "singer" track. His fans also started to tremble and no longer looked down on his old rival.
——Who wants to get entangled with a bunch of idols like you who have no works? The combined popularity of all your songs should reach one tenth of the popularity of the game theme song before we talk!
Therefore, Chi Jia is particularly grateful to Ling Suisui and hopes that Ling Suisui will continue to ask him to sing the theme song.
He can do the passionate style of the game, and he can also do the ancient romantic style of Peach Blossom! Lyrical songs are also his strong point! He can give a discount!
Well... everything else is just nonsense, but Ling Suisui thinks the last sentence is the key point, and the producer should be moved by it.
Ling Suisui said: "When Chi Jia comes later, I will ask him to take a photo with you."
"Is it okay?" Xu Han's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but straighten his head.
Although she is no longer so crazy about Chi Jia, she still feels itchy when she hears about such good news.
"Well, Chi Jia really values the kindness of his fans. If you vote for him, he will definitely agree."
"That's great, thank you, Senior Sister! You are so kind!"
Ling Suisui smiled and sent a message to Chi Jia. She continued to read Xu Han's biography and circled a detail from it.
"Zhou Yixuan felt envious when she saw Xu Fangfei's dowry accessories... This emotion is fine, but have you ever considered the deeper factors?"
Compared to Li Mingxu, what Ling Suisui and Xu Han discussed was of course an advanced version.
"According to the script, Zhou Yixuan is the daughter of Brother Zhou Cishuo, and she is the more favored one. Her father will inherit the throne in the future, and she herself has a high status in the prince's mansion. Although Xu Fangfei's jewelry is precious, it is not a rare treasure or a one-of-a-kind one."
After all, no matter how prominent the Xu family's status is, they are only nobles, and they cannot enjoy better life than their close relatives and royal family members.
——In other words, if Zhou Yixuan really likes this hairpin, she is fully capable of imitating it, or even making a better one.
Xu Han followed Ling Sui's thinking, so what Zhou Yixuan envied was not the hairpin, but Xu Fangfei herself.
"I can't quite understand..." Xu Han frowned, "She has no shortage of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and she doesn't have any childhood trauma or psychological shadows. Her biggest hobby is money... But Xu Fangfei isn't very rich either."
At this point in time, Xu Fangfei had not yet started a business, and she and Zhou Cishuo both lived on pocket money from their elders. Because this young couple had no awareness of financial planning, they even encountered a financial crisis in one episode.
"The envy caused by the hairpin... is it envy of the Xu family's doting on Xu Fangfei? But her father treats her well, too."
Ling Suisui patiently said: "This is the surface information that the script can give you. We must learn to look beyond the text and dig deeper into the logic behind the character's words and actions."
"Actually, you're already half right. She just envies Xu Fangfei's favor. Think about it again. How is Zhou Yixuan's personality different from hers?"
Xu Han: "Although she likes money very much, her behavior is still very conventional, like a very traditional noble lady... Is she envious of Xu Fangfei's free and easy personality and her ability to do whatever she wants? I don't think so. She is really quiet and even a little old-fashioned."
Ling Suisui gave another reminder: "Is she born like this?"
“…This, this…”
Xu Han racked his brains to recall the script information. "I remember that there was a scene that mentioned that she was very good at observing people's words and expressions... She must have known that her father liked this..."
"I understand!" Xu Han slapped his thigh excitedly, "Sister, I figured it out! Zhou Yixuan's envy of Xu Fangfei is the kind of envy that people will like you if you don't have to pretend, just be yourself!"
"If Zhou Yixuan wanted this hairpin, she would have to think of several ways to talk to her parents and act nice to please them. But if Xu Fangfei wanted it, the Xu family would make it just to please her. That's the difference."
After figuring this out, Xu Han felt that his understanding of Zhou Yixuan's role had reached a new level and opened a door that he had never thought of before. And all this just comes from the word "envy" circled by Ling Sui.
Xu Han instantly admired Ling Sui so much, she is indeed the top young star in the domestic entertainment industry! This title is well deserved by her in every aspect!
Moreover, Zhou Yixuan was not the role that Ling Suisui was going to play - it was only a supporting role with rival scenes. However, her understanding of Zhou Yixuan's role was deeper than her own, which made Xu Han admire her and feel ashamed.
She didn't want to leave and it was a very pleasant experience to discuss the script with Ling Suisui. During the breaks in filming, Xu Han also stuck to Ling Suisui, and she didn't care about Li Mingxu's several eye rolls.
Even when Chi Jia came to visit the crew, he couldn't attract Xu Han's attention at all. In her heart, Ling Sui's brilliance was so dazzling that she couldn't see anyone else at all.
Chi Jia who was ignored: ...
Didn’t she say she was his fan? Not only did she climb over his wall, she even danced in front of him!
