Chapter 277
If I had to make a conclusion about my acting career——
How long does it take to go from an unknown variety show NPC to the winner of all three major TV drama awards?
Ling Suisui’s answer was ten years.
From an outsider's perspective, these might be the ten years of "the heroine's life of cheats", but only Ling Suisui herself and those who have been with her for a long time know how she spent these ten long years that were the same day after day.
Behind the scenes of the Feitian Awards, the reporter first congratulated her on setting the record for being the youngest to win the Grand Slam Best Actress award, and then asked her, "Teacher Ling, are you satisfied with your current achievements? Do you consider yourself a successful actor?"
Ling Sui-sui's answer was: "Being an actor is a profession that requires a lot of patience. An acting career is a marathon with no end in sight. I don't think there is a universal standard for success for an actor. Its definition depends on you."
"How many films are considered successful? Or how many awards are considered successful? Secular standards are ever-changing, and there are too many evaluation systems for actors. I never dwell on whether I am successful or not. I can still continue to make movies. If you have to make a conclusion about my acting career, it can only be engraved on my tombstone."
The latter sentence became a hot search on multiple platforms. Her fans were ecstatic when they heard it, and netizens who were surfing the web were also impressed by Ling Sui's achievements.
She is the youngest Grand Slam actress to date, and she is only 27 years old this year. She has already climbed to heights that others dare not imagine, and she will continue to make bold statements without stopping.
This passionate and fighting spirit made the discussion atmosphere under the related topics boil over. Many netizens said that seeing Ling Suisui would trigger their instinct to admire the strong. She is really too powerful and dazzling.
Ling Sui's popularity is supported by his works, and the netizens who like to watch the drama are also the audience who follow the drama. The value of Li Xiang comes from the support of the audience, from the TV and mobile phones and tablets that are turned on on time. The time spent in front of the screen and being brought into the story by her ultimately sums up to "no gold or silver cup is worse than the reputation of the people."
Even if there are black fans jumping up and down, spreading rumors about "internal decision" and "negotiation", etc., it cannot affect the applause and blessings that fill the screen in the real-time square.
What’s wrong with winning the Feitian Award? Everyone also thinks that she has not won enough awards and that the Magnolia Award should also be hers.
Where do so many hidden rules come from? The award is not judged based on the ability, but on factors like whether the awarder should get a second prize or a grand slam. Doesn't this go against the original intention of establishing the award?
The black fans always play against the wind and can only say a few sour words about how powerful Ling Sui's team is, but no one cares at all.
At the same time, the comment section of the photo of Ling Suisui and the trophy became the new "Ling List". Her artist friends, both familiar and unfamiliar, expressed their congratulations below, and several actors with whom she had worked together and had a good relationship even posted original Weibo messages.
Ling Suisui flipped through a few fans in the super topic, and then handed the phone to Zhuo Siyu. As for things like replying to friends in the circle, just let your assistant do it, since they may not be the ones who sent the messages anyway.
Her schedule is very tight and she has to go to the airport to check in very early tomorrow. She probably can only sleep for two or three hours in the hotel. In order to save time, she removed her makeup in the car and applied a facial mask in advance.
After Zhuo Siyu helped her reply to her artist friends one by one, she also asked her if she wanted to post an update on Instagram. With her current popularity, she has a lot of overseas fans following her.
"You do it." Ling Suisui yawned, "Ask Wenjun to come up with a copy and select a few photos that have never been posted on Weibo."
Zhuo Siyu responded and asked her casually, "Are you tired? I feel like you're not in a good mood."
Ling Sui nodded softly. Her most exciting and thrilling moments were when she heard her name and received the trophy.
She is a human being, with emotions and desires. At that moment, she will become inflated and arrogant, and will fantasize about standing on top of the world and conquering the entire universe. When she stood on the stage with the spotlights and cameras focused on her, she felt like she was standing on the clouds with soft clouds under her feet.
But this fantasy did not last long. She had to keep her feet on solid ground to complete the entire award ceremony decently.
Ling Suisui quickly recovered from the flowers and applause, but the sentiment of cheering for her and praising her like a deity once again swept the Internet. Especially since today is the tenth anniversary of the broadcast of the "Mystery in Progress" program, this coincidence adds a bit of "destined" legendary color to her.
She dominated the hot searches tonight, and she is the traffic password for every platform. Aoqi Antenna and Corn have launched columns for Ling Sui, and Fruit TV has also recommended the two variety shows. The glory belongs to her, the blessings belong to her, and she also receives the admiration of the audience and colleagues.
This is actually very dangerous - Ling Sui said to himself.
If she wants to maintain this perfect image, her tolerance for error will become lower and lower, because the rising public sentiment will not allow her to fail. Her work must be successful in the secular sense, with at least one of critical acclaim and box office success, and she'd better have both.
"What should I do?" Ling Suisui joked, "I just boasted in an interview that I would make movies for the rest of my life, but now I want to retire."
No one in the car took Ling Suisui's words seriously, and everyone laughed twice.
Zhang Wen also reminded her that she had to take an early flight back to the crew for filming tomorrow, so did she want to take a nap in the car?
Ling Suisui shook her head. She couldn’t sleep at the moment.
Of course it is impossible for her to retire. She can handle this overwhelming wealth, and only she can handle it. Even if a play fails and falls from the altar, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. She's not even afraid of starting over again, so why is she afraid of this?
She never stopped when things were going well in her life, but instead kept moving forward and faced up to the ups and downs.
Of course, it’s best to keep getting up :)
By the next day, the craze about her had not completely faded. The number of views of her role highlights on Zizi.com has already exceeded 10 million. Last night, it became popular again on Douzi and Weibo, and was even uploaded to the Internet.
Although it's all in Chinese, foreign netizens also enjoyed watching it. Ling Sui's high-energy mixed clip of fighting scenes has been widely viewed on YouTube, and even Richard saw it on the homepage recommendation.
He has already congratulated Lindsay on IG and posted a short essay about his thoughts after watching the movie. When Lindsay returns, Andrew won’t be the only person she can discuss the work with.
Richard’s next goal is to go to the cinema to watch "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Although Wuyou has been released in North America for a long time and there are basically no screenings now, he can negotiate with the theater to book a full screening.
Even though streaming media is very developed, Richard insists that the existence of movie theaters has its meaning. Good works should be enjoyed on the big screen in the cinema to be a perfect audio-visual feast.
He also watched the backstage interview video of Ling Suisui that was moved over, but unfortunately it was entirely in Chinese and Richard couldn't understand it at all, so he had to give up with regret.
Those who can understand are currently messaging Ling Suisui.
[Congratulations, thank you for your hard work along the way.] 】
This message comes from Chen Yuening.
Ling Sui was on the plane at that moment. She lazily picked up her mobile phone, replied with a period and turned off the screen.
This is a kind of code between good friends. When she sends a period, it means that I received the message, but I am busy, in a bad mood, or simply don’t want to reply.
There is no need to rack your brains to come up with reasons, no need to consider the ways of the world, both parties are already familiar with each other and there are no taboos, just have a relaxing chat and talk about it when you have time.
There are no more than ten friends on the list who have this kind of relationship with her, and most of them are girls. Among male friends, Chen Yuening counts as one, Li Mingxu also counts as one, and Yingnian can only count as half, so here is the score.
Ling Suisui was on a trans-Pacific flight, and Chen Yuening was also abroad, but he was in the Southern Hemisphere.
The signal here is not very good and the network is intermittent. Chen Yuening looked at the trending searches and found the original video of the interview. He had to cache it before watching it, otherwise it would get stuck and crash in the middle.
In the entire video, the widely circulated saying on the Internet, "The final conclusion of the acting career can only be engraved on the tombstone," only occupies a very short part. Ling Suisui is more focused on answering how to be a good actor and how to make good works.
Even through the screen, Chen Yuening could imagine how speechless Ling Suisui would feel. Since she became famous, this question has been asked countless times. You can find the answer by searching with keywords. It turns out that this interview is more about form than meaning.
But she still answered very seriously. She always said that actors must be self-disciplined, develop good habits, believe that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and that hard work determines the upper limit, and acting skills can be trained.
Many people like to regard "self-discipline" as a fashion item, and there is never a shortage of content on social platforms such as "Develop a good habit in xx days" and "After xx days of self-discipline, I..." When Ling Sui talked about self-discipline, he integrated it into daily life, and its status was equal to eating and drinking.
There is no time limit for Ling Sui's self-discipline, nor is there an expectation of how long it will take to see the results. If you ask her when she can stop self-discipline, she will ask you back, when can you stop breathing?
The answer to the latter is when you don’t want to live, so by analogy, the answer to the former is naturally when you don’t want to do this job.
She said that this kind of self-discipline is more like a long-term accumulation of quantitative changes, and you don’t know when the qualitative change will happen, and no one can guarantee that it will happen. You always live in the information of survivor bias, thinking that everyone else has experienced qualitative change, but you are the only one who has not. Why?
You will waver, you will give up, and all your efforts will be wasted in the last dark night before dawn. “Day after day” does not mean one day or one hundred days, but every day with no end in sight.
This is not chicken soup, it doesn't sound inspiring, and it's even a bit depressing, so it's not very popular on the Internet.
That's the secret to her success - she tells the truth and no one takes it seriously, everyone thinks it's just cliché.
Therefore, everyone in the entertainment industry desires to be the next Ling Sui, but there are only a few people who actually walk on this path.
Chen Yuening put away his phone, encouraged himself in his heart, and continued to devote himself to the filming.
After a long flight of more than ten hours, Ling Sui's flight finally landed.
The take-off was during the day, and the landing was also during the day. She was very sleepy and didn't bother to think about what time it was. She fell asleep as soon as she got on the car, and continued to sleep after lying down at the hotel.
Zhuo Siyu said to her, "We have adjusted the notice and moved the important scene between you and Richard to tomorrow. Sui Sui, are you okay with this?"
Ling Suisui raised his hand and made an OK gesture, without even asking what the play was.
After adjusting to the jet lag, she will be in top condition tomorrow and will be able to shoot anything. She had memorized all the lines for the entire movie in advance, so she wasn't afraid of any last-minute changes.
When she arrived at the dressing room the next day, she knew what the play was about without even looking at the script.
Although Monica's image is still human, from the perspective of Richard's character, according to Western World, she is playing a succubus today, right?
