Chapter 79
It's already bloody before it explodes, destined to be a top star
The Supernova Games have ended for several days, but Ling Sui's popularity remains high.
This long tail is not only due to her strength and excellent performance, but also to the fact that black fans, rival fans, and raw fans are still breaking her defense...
They just couldn't understand why Ling Suisui was so awesome. It was okay to climb the rock wall, but was there something wrong with the light gun? Is it because Antenna Video wants to promote her that they have found so many people to support her? That must be the case!
Even if you know that mentioning it repeatedly is just to add heat to the other person, how can you stay rational all the time when you are surrounded by negative emotions? These days, there has been a constant stream of negative comments about Ling Suisui. With them acting as "tap water", Ling Suisui's outstanding performance in Supernova has become known to everyone.
Because of his beautiful face, Ling Sui has always been favored by up-loaders on alphabetical websites. She became very popular in Supernova this time, and many people edited highlights for her. When these videos were at their most popular, they would easily have hundreds of thousands of views as long as they were tagged with #凌穗岁#.
However, the one with the highest number of views and the longest dominance in the hot list is Ling Sui's variety show mashup.
This video uses "Infinite Flow Challenge" as its narrative background. It not only features Ling Sui's championship moment, but also mixes in clips of her winning games in variety shows before.
So many highlights put together, coupled with the exciting background music, easily captured the hearts of the audience.
Ordinary videos using slow motion and filters can create the aura of a big boss, not to mention that every victory Ling Sui wins is real.
Each of her successful moments is stuck to the beat of the music, and the more you watch, the more you feel the blood in your body boiling.
A few days after the video was released, the number of views accumulated reached over seven million.
Ling Suisui has also watched it - throughout the entire video, you can see people screaming in the comments, some calling her husband or wife.
At the end of the video, her smile was captured close up during the Supernova live broadcast. There were so many comments that they completely covered the screen, making her unable to see anything.
Well... this smile is really outstanding. Not only is it used in video clips about her, it has also been forwarded crazily on platforms like Weibo and Hongshu, becoming the most popular scene of this season's supernova.
Although many people thought she was posing in front of the camera and did not believe that this was an unintentional photo, it is undeniable that many celebrities have imitated her smile in recent days.
As for the effect... it's probably between the genuine and the counterfeit, and it's still a rather shoddy kind.
There are celebrities who can imitate her, but they already have that ability, so why should we imitate them?
There is a group of people waiting to explode who really want to copy and paste every move of Ling Suisui onto themselves, but unfortunately their abilities are limited and they cannot do it.
Others see Ling Sui as the heroine who is decisive and murderous, but as for them... to say that they failed to draw a tiger but ended up drawing a dog is an euphemism.
Ever since the Supernova Games, there have been calls to see Ling Sui-sui play a strong female role.
Ling Suisui also received the thoughts of fans and audiences. Well, she was quite willing to do so, but they all seemed to have overestimated her status.
Sweet pet idol dramas still dominate the film and television market. There are projects with female protagonists, but it is not her turn.
Even the 85 flowers have returned to their comfort zone of ancient costume dramas. She, an actress who has just gained some fame and barely squeezed into the second tier of 00 flowers, has no access to this type of cake at all.
Capital is risk-averse. When they can obviously find a more famous star to play it safe, directors and investors who have the courage to let newcomers take the lead are rare in the industry.
Ling Sui only regarded the fans' calls as good wishes, but when she was attending classes seriously at school and studying the script of "Freedom House", Tong Xiaoman suddenly found her and told her that there was indeed a project for infinite female-powerful writing that found her.
Moreover, the rating of this project is quite high. It is an S-level customized drama of Yumi Video and Huacai Film and Television.
Ling Suisui is incredible, but it turns out that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If so, it is likely toxic.
The name of this project is "The Game is Online". The original novel of the same name is indeed a very exciting novel with a female protagonist, but in the process of film and television adaptation, it became a male protagonist, with the male choosing the female.
Ling Suisui: ...
She can accept being suppressed in idol dramas and group dramas. After all, the roles of several characters are roughly equal, and whose name comes first will not change anything. It's just a matter of saving face for the fan circle. But isn't it too outrageous to let the heroine play second role in such a project with strong female characters?
Oh, it turns out that the script has been greatly changed. The perspective of the heroine has been changed to that of the hero, and all the highlights of the heroine have been transferred to the hero, under the pretext of "making the plot more logical and the characters more solid and full."
——To put it bluntly, how can the female lead be more powerful than the male lead? How can we create a sense of charm for the male lead and hype up the couple?
Ling Sui's comment on this is: "Even gold miners can't dig up such pure gold."
Ling Suisui also took a special look at the candidate for the male lead. This person's name is Xiang Ming, and he sounds a little familiar.
She carefully looked at the information in front of her again. Produced by Huacai Films...
Ling Suisui remembered that Xiang Ming and Chen Yuening were artists from the same company, but under different agents. Although Xiang Ming is older than Chen Yuening and was more popular than him in the past few years, with Chen Yuening effectively airing several dramas, the two of them have a lot of competition for resources.
According to Chen Yuening, this man named Xiang Ming has a bad character and there is a risk of his house collapsing at any time.
Although what the competitors say may not be entirely true... but Chen Yuening rarely speaks ill of others behind their backs, so his evaluation of Xiang Ming is quite credible.
Moreover, Xiang Ming's name was among a large list of half-true and half-false names involved in the previous Duan Tianrui incident. However, due to Huacai Film and Television's public relations methods, few people mentioned him.
Ling Suisui sighed. No wonder the heroine of the S-level project would come and ask her actively. It turns out there is a big trap here.
She said to Tong Xiaoman: "Just reject it and say I don't have time."
Tong Xiaoman: "If you are worried about the script, we can actually strive for it."
Ling Suisui trusted Tong Xiaoman's ability. If she dared to ask for it, she would definitely be able to do it, but Ling Suisui still shook his head.
"He wants to change, and so do I. What if other actors want to change, too?"
Although she also raised opinions on the plot of the script when filming "The Golden List", every revision they made was to make the plot smoother, rather than thinking about how to shoot a certain part better or which part should stand out and attract more fans.
If the actors change the script with this mentality, the final result will only be a big mess.
Ling Suisui doesn't want to be a tool, nor does he want to waste several months of time and energy to produce a bunch of garbage, which may not even be broadcast. Why bother?
So, let’s give this “pie in the sky” to someone else, since she doesn’t want it anyway.
After considering it, Tong Xiaoman decided to respect Ling Suisui's opinion.
On the one hand, it was because she believed that Ling Suisui knew what was going on and no one cared about her career more than she did; on the other hand, the hidden dangers behind this project really made Tong Xiaoman feel that there was no need to take the risk.
Tong Xiaoman reminded Ling Suisui that the original start time of "Freedom House" was postponed.
It was previously said to be after National Day, but now it has been pushed to November. It seems that Yin Mingcheng and Aoqi have not yet reached an agreement.
Theoretically, projects that have already signed contracts with actors cannot be postponed, but the reality is that Bian Yuanzhou and Ling Suisui both have quite flexible schedules, so they didn't argue so strictly with the crew.
However, Tong Xiaoman and agent Bian Yuanzhou reached a consensus that their bottom line is the end of the year.
No matter how long it is delayed, it cannot be delayed until next year, otherwise their contract with the crew will be invalidated. They have to reconsider whether to accept this drama. They can't just wait forever for it.
Ling Suisui nodded to show that he understood: "Okay, I just want to watch a few more offline comedy performances to feel the atmosphere."
She was not in a hurry, and was sure that Freedom House would open.
Apart from anything else, Song Lingshan has been waiting for this drama, and she hasn't signed the contract yet, just wanting to fight for the third role with the crew.
This pie was first told to Ling Sui by Song Lingshan, so she must have the most inside information.
Since Song Lingshan could still sit still, Ling Suisui's mentality was also stable.
However... Currently, only three actors have been confirmed for "Freedom House", namely Ling Suisui, Bian Yuanzhou and Song Lingshan. The other three roles are still undecided, and the ranking issue is also difficult to discuss, which is a headache for the crew.
Tong Xiaoman also told her two things. The first was a notice. Currently, many variety shows are looking for her, and they are all physical and intellectual types.
Moreover, some variety shows even provided "scripts" in advance, clearly wanting to create a big devil persona for her to attract traffic.
Ling Suisui: "...Forget it. I don't really want to reinforce this impression multiple times in a short period of time."
In fact, she no longer needs to appear on variety shows crazily to increase her popularity and make the audience remember her name.
It is enough for a supernova to become popular once. If it happens a second or third time, the audience will easily lose their sense of novelty, and it will be difficult for her as an actor to create a sense of mystery.
Tong Xiaoman nodded and continued, "Both Ding Feng Bo and Jin Bang crew have registered you for the Best Supporting Actress at the Magnolia and Golden Eagle Awards."
There is no such award for Feitian. The Feitian Award only has "Outstanding Actress", which is usually not given to supporting roles.
Although registration does not mean nomination, Ling Sui still felt anticipation when he heard the news.
She didn't have high expectations for "Ding Feng Bo". She guessed that when the producer invited Yingnian to register, they also registered several actors from the crew. Anyway, there were no restrictions during the registration stage, and the final screening of the nomination list was the responsibility of the organizing committee.
However, even if Zhang Zihan from "The Golden List" cannot win the award, she still has a good chance of getting a nomination.
Besides...the Magnolia Awards are given once a year. In the online dramas and TV dramas that have aired this year, the protagonists are all the gods fighting each other. It is actually easier for Ling Suisui to win the supporting role award than for Tang Bing to win the leading role award.
Tong Xiaoman warned her: "It's only the registration stage now, don't tell anyone else. It would be so embarrassing if you're not nominated."
In particular, Ling Suisui has received special attention recently. Some people have tried their best to dig up no negative information about her, so they can only post all kinds of flattering comments about her, hoping to slap her in the face by raising the expectations of her fans and netizens.
Ling Suisui made an OK gesture to reassure Sister Tong.
She is not a child anymore, how could she not understand this?
At present, Ling Suisui has not taken any job. She is quietly studying at school and continues to practice her English, horse riding and swordsmanship in the system's internal space.
She took the CET-6 for the second time and scored 622 points. A few days ago, she switched to IELTS and scored 7.5 points.
But Ling Suisui was not very satisfied, because among her 7.5 points, her writing and reading scores were relatively high, while her listening and speaking skills, which could be used for communication, actually pulled down her scores.
Needless to say, just keep studying and keep taking exams. Of course, you should study hard when you have more disposable time.
Ling Sui is already very low-key, but her presence is still everywhere on the Internet.
Although she rejected the project of "The Game is Online", after the Supernova Games, there were still "gougers" who broke the news online, saying that she was the heroine of the game.
At first, Ling Suisui didn't care too much.
Either the information from the source was wrong, or in order to attract traffic, they directly took "sending an invitation" as "confirming the performance", or the crew instructed to do so and use her recent popularity to hype up the Internet attention of this project.
No matter which one it is, it is very common in the entertainment industry. This doesn't constitute spreading rumors. Unless it brings negative impact, the artists who are pulled out to swindle the project usually won't respond. Otherwise, wouldn't they be helping to increase the project's popularity for free?
About half a month after "The Game is Online" let her go, the melon owner posted a new Weibo, saying that the female lead had been changed to Xi Yu.
Replacing actors is even more common, and Ling Suisui didn’t take it seriously until she saw a marketing account posting - how did Ling Suisui fail to make a name for herself? Aren’t there many calls from netizens for her to play in "Game is Online"?
Ling Suisui: ...Ah?
She checked the studio's group chat and asked Kang Le to find out what was going on.
After the melon owner broke the news that she was going to star in "Game is Online", many netizens were actually very happy. They didn't know that the script had been changed and thought it would be filmed according to the original. Ling Suisui and the heroine are so well matched!
Of course, it is impossible to satisfy all the fans of the original novel. After all, some book fans do not accept the "film and television adaptation" itself, but it is already very good to get the recognition of some real book fans.
Ling Sui has a new girlfriend, so there will definitely be all kinds of negative and mocking posts, but it is still just a self-entertainment for a specific group of people. Therefore, the studio did not come out to clarify, thinking that the pie would definitely be passed on to other actresses and they should not pay any attention to it.
As a result... the cake was taken away, and posts and press releases that criticized her for losing the cake also followed.
It's fine that they tied her to Xi Yu, but there are people who even said that the video of Zimu Station was edited by a commercial hired by her just to get a piece of the gaming pie. But she was beaten by Xi Yu in terms of strength, status, and acting skills, so she didn't get the chance in the end?
Furthermore, they spread rumors that she was a habitual market thief and that she was the one who stole Sun Qianqian's resources for the filming of Ding Feng Bo.
Alas, she is a rising star with Tong Xiaoman’s support. She is so powerful in the entertainment circle and no one dares to offend her.
Poor Xi Yu, he was almost snatched away by Ling Suisui. Fortunately, the game crew had a keen eye and did not let Ling Suisui succeed in the end.
These press releases come in waves, one at a time and in large numbers. Ling Suisui was certain that this had exceeded the level of black acid breaking defense, and it was just to snipe her, step on her to support Xi Yu, and by the way, to promote "The Game Is Online".
Fights among fans won’t easily become a hot topic.
As for who would do this - no, does Huacai dare to do it more obviously? Are you afraid that she can't see it?
Is he holding a grudge against her for rejecting him, or...
Ling Sui shook her head helplessly, she had initially turned down the role of "Game is Online" as a bad idea, but now thinking about it, no one wanted her to act at all. This was the inside story that Huacai had prepared for Xiang Ming and Xi Yu.
Even if she was just invited, the story of her stealing the cake would have been spread with details. If she had really had contact with the other party, who knows how outrageous the rumors would be.
As for why they target her... because she's been very popular recently, and her image in Supernova is also very suitable for playing the heroine of the game.
Moreover, Chen Yuening's agent is Liu Shou, and Xiang Ming and Xi Yu's agent is Fan Qiao. Liu Shou and Fan Qiao are fighting each other to the death in the company. It is hard to say whether Fan Qiao chose her as a target to be pulled down because of her relationship with Chen Yuening.
Tong Xiaoman sighed, "You are really famous now, and you always encounter such unexpected disasters."
Clearly she didn't do anything, but the other party had already completed the entire process for her, leaving her as a target for scolding.
Alas, it's already so bloody before it even explodes. It seems like she is destined to be a top star:)
Ling Sui shrugged. It was because she was too strong. Everyone could see that she had great potential, and they were vying to suppress her before she could come to the fore.
"Just clarify that you didn't snatch the cake. Don't pay any attention to Xi Yu."
Zhang Wen replied in the group: ok, she knew what to do.
It's so funny. Fan Qiao on the opposite side went to such great lengths, isn't it just to tie up the two of them, so that he can become the opponent? She really wishes.
Being able to be rivals means that in the eyes of passers-by, the two people's levels in all aspects are similar.
However, Ling Suisui is now recognized by the public as the top tier of 2000 actresses in terms of acting skills. Haters have come up with various angles to mock her, but rarely judge her acting skills;
But Xi Yu’s previous drama was a disaster, and his emoticons and animated graphics were ridiculed all over the circle. He is now anxious to get rid of the label of "poor acting".
Ling Sui's studio knew exactly what the other party was trying to do, and would never let her get what she wanted.
Opinions vary on the effectiveness of the clarification, but this is not a "stain" that is worth being highly concerned about. The studio is mainly trying to prevent Xi Yu from being tied up.
However, what Ling Suisui did not expect was that Sun Qianqian would take the initiative to help her clarify.
@孙芊芊: I quit the show first and Ling Sui signed the contract later. There is no dispute between us about who was in charge of what. Please don't spread rumors.
Sun Qianqian also added Ling Sui's contact information through Xiang Yanchu and told her you're welcome.
Ling Suisui: ...
Well, how should I put it...After she spoke, although the battlefield expanded, she also provided strong evidence for Ling Suisui's side.
The fact that Sun Qianqian, the "victim" who was dragged into the Avengers, came out to clarify the matter was like giving Huacai a loud slap in the face.
Even though she said no, Ling Suisui still thanked her.
Sun Qianqian only replied with an emoticon, and Ling Suisui didn't send her any more messages.
In fact, Ling Suisui knew that Sun Qianqian spoke out at this time for the purpose of taking advantage of the popularity and whitewashing her dismissal from the crew. However, a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. It would be harmful if some things were said too clearly.
With Sun Qianqian's clarification, and experienced fans also realizing that the other side was trying to pick a fight, Suisi only posted clarification pictures and cleaned the square. No matter how Xiyu provoked, they would not attack her and would definitely not even look at her.
Everyone has seen the trick of first passing on a fake cake and then saying it's dropped. It's nothing new to us!
Fans with little experience in chasing stars were nervous at first, fearing that this incident would affect Ling Sui's popularity among the public. But after a few days, they found that apart from the entertainment team and those familiar haters, no one mentioned this incident at all.
If you think about it carefully, if it was any other celebrity's controversy over grabbing the cake, the onlookers would just take a look and walk away. It wouldn't be a big deal.
At most, everyone will think that the drama "Game On" seems to be very powerful, and people are fighting for it. Is this a rare good thing?
Thinking about it this way, if they couldn't help themselves, not only would it raise the value of the game, but they would also be entangled with Xi Yu in the future. That would be really entangled, and a big loss.
Ling Suisui was implementing the policy of ignoring and not paying any attention, while Xi Yu was still desperately sending out press releases, insisting on tying her down.
Unfortunately, Huacai has posted too many articles these days. At the beginning, passers-by were interested in reading them, and fans wanted to control the comments. Later, the big marketing accounts stopped accepting duplicate articles to avoid affecting the activity of fans. No one cared about the articles posted by small marketing accounts, and no effect was achieved.
Chen Yuening had also approached her about this matter, and secretly expressed that although he and Xi Yu were from the same company, they did not have the same agent, and what Fan Qiao and Hua Cai had done recently had nothing to do with him.
Ling Suisui would certainly not vent her anger on him. She believed that not only would Chen Yuening and Liu Shou not go along with Fan Qiao, but they also did not want to see her being proud.
But this is not for her, but involves the power struggle within Huacai Film and Television.
In large companies, factional struggles can be fierce.
Seeing that Ling Suisui was not angry, Chen Yuening felt relieved.
He knew that Suisui was not an unreasonable person.
But what was particularly unfortunate was that after Fan Qiao's commotion, he could no longer bring himself to invite Ling Suisui to be the female lead in his new drama.
The producer is Huacai Film and Television. Even if Fan Qiao is not in charge of this project, she still has some rights to intervene. How can Ling Suisui feel at ease to act in this film? Is she afraid that the other party won’t find an opportunity to cheat her?
It’s really difficult to work with Ling Suisui on the screen again.
