Chapter 226
Director Pei: Even if the investors ignore me, can they still let Ling Suisui go?
In fact, Ling Suisui had long had the idea of asking Li Mingxu to help her train new people. He had a rumored ancient idol drama before, and Ling Suisui wanted Tian Tian to play the second female lead, but the budget for the project was not enough, the actors’ pay did not satisfy Xingxing, and Li Mingxu also had access to better resources, so the deal was not reached.
In the end, Tian Tian did play the second female lead, but the male lead was played by another actor.
It seemed a bit of a pity at the time, but now it seems just right. Ling Suisui is quite optimistic about Li Mingxu's current drama to be broadcast. If it can have some positive effect on his reputation after it is broadcast, his effectiveness in guiding newcomers will also be greatly improved.
Although Li Mingxu was a bit clingy sometimes, he had never let Ling Sui down in terms of being her younger brother.
As soon as she opened her mouth to test the water, Li Mingxu immediately agreed.
Planet Films had some complaints about his decision. After all, in their opinion, the popularity gap between Li Mingxu and Tian Tian was too big, and the pay offered by Ai Tianming was not particularly high. How could it be worthy for him to "condescend" to act? Even if you want to train new people, you should train people from your own company!
But Li Mingxu insisted on acting. He certainly knew that taking on this role was a bit of a loss, but he always maintained unconditional trust in Ling Suisui.
His attitude was firm and the company had no choice but to say nothing.
After all, in the past few years, Li Mingxu has been following Ling Sui's advice and constantly getting in touch with serious drama resources. He neither asked for a ranking nor worried about whether his character could attract fans. He worked hard on the set, studied hard, and made quite a few connections.
When his access to resources in the entertainment industry no longer comes only from the company, it becomes difficult for Planet Pictures to keep control of him all the time. The company's goal has always been to make money. What if they really push people to the limit and even want to terminate the contract? He is not a resource-rich guy who relies entirely on the company's support and has no confidence at all.
It is for this reason that Li Mingxu's trust in Ling Suisui grows day by day. When he first played supporting roles in serious dramas, his opponents often mocked him for not daring to carry the show and not having any real achievements. But now others are still acting in domestic dramas, and he has the right to choose projects.
Sister Sui is right. Whether you make a profit or not is only temporary. Being an actor is a lifelong career and you cannot just focus on temporary benefits. Sister Sui has a far-sighted vision!
After Li Mingxu set the date, there would be no problem for Tian Tian.
Because the boss of her own company is Ling Suisui, Tian Tian's horizons have been raised, and she doesn't have any idea of "pie in the sky". However, being able to work with such a popular artist like Li Mingxu still makes her look forward to her future career development.
Ling Suisui has already joined the crew. She can't meet her boss now and can only express her inner joy to her acting teacher Wen Jiayan. While Tian Tian was excited, she also thanked her boss for giving her such a good opportunity.
When Wen Jiayan was chatting with Ling Suisui on the phone, she also helped Tian Tian convey her loyalty.
"Oda said that he would work hard in the future and make a lot of money for the company."
Her tone was teasing, and Ling Suisui smiled as well.
After she finished laughing, she did not forget to ask, "How are Xianning and Wenyi doing recently?"
Ling Suisui is usually busy with work, so Wen Jiayan is taking care of the three new employees in the company. Her position is an acting teacher, but her actual job scope should also include "newcomer mentor".
Wen Jiayan said truthfully: "Yiyi's mood is very stable. It seems that since last year, she has been spending more time reading and watching movies than communicating with others. Rather than whether she will be affected by others, I think she needs to be guided to increase her interest in changes in the external environment. Actors need to calm down, but they can't just work in isolation."
"As for Xian Ning... you know, she has always been very competitive. But you don't have to worry. I believe she can adjust. She is still very strong mentally."
There are three new people in the company, and this opportunity fell to Tian Tian, and the other two were also convinced. Who makes her drama the best?
Even if Zhao Xianning didn't think that her acting skills and works were worse than the other party's, she had to accept that an actor's career development requires the right time, place and people. She was just a little unlucky this year, but there will definitely be other opportunities in the future.
The most important thing is that "Yaotai Lu" has not been broadcast yet. Zhao Xianning thought that she was an important supporting role in the film, and with Ling Sui's ability to carry a drama, she would not have to worry about not being able to show her face.
Since they were all fine, Ling Suisui felt relieved.
She said on the phone: "Are you busy recently? Do you want to come visit me? It's rare for Xia Tian to shoot in China. Xiang Yanchu and I often have dinner together in the capital, so we don't see her very often."
Wen Jiayan readily agreed. The three newcomers of Harvest Media were growing very fast, and their dependence on her performance guidance was greatly reduced. It would be no problem for her to set aside a few days to visit Ling Suisui.
Speaking of which, even though they were all actors in "Hero Without Worries", Ling Suisui only met Xia Tian after the filming officially started.
Ling Suisui dares to say that there are very few actors in the circle who are as unique in choosing scripts as Xia Tian. What she cared about most was not the plot or character setting, but where the filming was taking place.
Studio shooting or film and television city shooting are all out of the question. On-location shooting in different places is given priority. If the shooting location is relatively niche and has particularly good natural scenery, she might even pay money to join the crew.
Ling Suisui once wondered if she wanted to travel under the guise of filming a movie. But considering that she is not signed to any company and her agent has no control over her acting choices, and she can travel around the world whenever she wants, it can only be attributed to her pure love for acting.
Pei Xuehai said that there was a role of a noble lady from a wealthy family that wanted her to play, and Xia Tian was initially unhappy. She respects her elders in her heart, but she really doesn't like Director Pei's style of work. It was Ling Suisui's kind invitation that made her agree to join the group out of her consideration.
Director Pei felt a little sad, so he turned around and went to find Ying Nian and told him about the important character in the movie, the Third Prince.
When Ying Nian was getting ready and thought he would be able to work with Ling Suisui again, Pei Xuehai said that the role had already been given to someone else, and Ying Nian's ability was still a little lacking, so he told her to keep working hard, good boy.
Year: ...
Ying Nian didn't understand: "Then why are you telling me about this role?"
"Oh, I just wanted to reject you." Pei Xuehai said cheerfully, "Now that I have transferred the sadness of being rejected to you, I feel much happier."
Year:? ? ?
He was only sad for a short while, then he learned his lesson and continued to work hard. One day, he would let his grandfather know not to bully the young because they are poor.
Ling Suisui looked at the newly appeared achievement icon, the description of which was "After being mocked by the villain, the hero worked hard for you."
She was full of questions. Who was this? When was this? Who was the villain?
Forget it, she should not miss the chance of the turntable given by the system. As long as she gets the benefits, nothing else matters.
She put the incident behind her and took out her phone to take a picture in the mirror.
She has been filming scenes of just entering the city these days, and her makeup and styling are very simple. She had dry, frizzy hair on her head, which was tied up with an inconspicuous wooden hairpin. She was wearing a short, washed-out brown shirt, and a pair of straw sandals with several holes in them.
Although her clothes were simple, she was still relatively clean and tidy. Originally, the stylist wanted to put some mud on her nails to show that they were the hands of the working people, but Ling Suisui and Pei Xuehai discussed it and decided not to do it.
With Wuyou's level of swordsmanship, she would definitely need to take time off from work to practice. If she had to farm in the mountains, how would she have the time to practice swordplay? Farming is a very hard job and it takes more than just two or three hours a day.
"You missed the opportunity to release a press release to establish your image." Xia Tian said, "There is a trend in the entertainment industry now that the more an actor is willing to work himself into a dirty, messy and ugly situation, the more it proves that he is dedicated to his job and that he can sacrifice everything for the role."
Ling Sui twitched the corner of his mouth. Wuyou's life before was not rich and prosperous, but at least he had enough food and clothing. Otherwise, how could the world think that "Peach Blossom Spring" was a beautiful fantasy?
With the level of productivity in ancient times, the worry-free living conditions would at least rank in the top 5% nationwide. Do you really think that there are princes and nobles everywhere?
"It is not advisable to endure hardships without suffering." Ling Suisui said speechlessly, "There is no essential difference between pretending to be ugly regardless of the situation and pretending to be beautiful regardless of the situation. Instead of messing around with makeup, you might as well read the script more."
She told Xia Tian the time when Wen Jiayan would come to visit her on set, and Xia Tian was quite happy.
"Is Jiayan a professional acting teacher now?" she asked, "Then I can introduce her to more works."
"Okay, do you know any other great actors who don't want to develop in the entertainment industry in the next few years, but still want to do acting-related work?"
Ling Suisui mentioned to her: "I want to set up an acting class. It's not an art exam, but specifically for actors in film and television dramas to help them improve their acting skills. It can be taught in a centralized manner, or it can be taught in a targeted manner based on the content of the script. If the client needs it, I can also provide real-time tutoring with the group."
Xia Tian thought about it and felt that he had limited connections in this area.
She said, "Wait until Ji Zhaoying joins the group and ask her. She knows the most people. You might as well start a company with her. Not only can she recommend acting teachers to you, but she can also bring in a lot of clients."
That’s true - following this line of thought, Ling Suisui also thought of another person, Gu Size.
Although his favorability towards her is not high, Ling Suisui believes that he does things without considering feelings, and only cares about interests and human relationships. As long as things were done, Ling Suisui didn't care whether he liked her or not.
Xia Tian: "By the way, I didn't see Xiaoqing this time. Did you get a new assistant?"
Ling Suisui: "Well, Xiaoqing has been transferred to another department. She will probably work in the crew of Tian Tian and Li Mingxu in a while. I plan to train her in the direction of overall planning. It's not easy to recruit talents from outside."
"That's good." Xia Tian said, "I can move up by following you. No wonder your team members work so hard."
The chatting time was over quickly and Ling Suisui had to get back to filming. Pei Xuehai is an extreme detail-obsessed person. If the picture does not achieve the effect he wants, he will reshoot it repeatedly, which really tests the actor's physical and mental state.
Don’t be fooled by the short length of the movie. The shooting period reserved by Director Pei is enough to make a TV series. And for him, working overtime is commonplace.
In this movie, Director Pei's habits not only did not change, but instead tended to be strengthened.
When shooting a movie, every frame costs money. The producer was shocked by what he saw and couldn't help but remind the director to pay attention to cost control.
"What are you afraid of?" Pei Xuehai waved his hand. "Our lead actor is Ling Suisui, and the box office of Moon Over has reached 2.3 billion. Even if the investors ignore me, can they let this God of Wealth go?"
"Let's just shoot it with confidence. Even if the budget goes over, with Ling Suisui here, there will be investors rushing to pay for it."
The author has something to say:
