Chapter 82
She really sacrificed so much for this drama.
After joining the crew of "Freedom House", Ling Suisui only had one day of rest in the whole month of November.
And she didn't get a real rest on this day. Long before the crew started filming, Zhang Wen coordinated the schedule with the producer and planned to use her rest day in November for the Aoqi Video Scream Night.
Ling Sui has her drama "The Name on the List" airing on Aoqi this year, and she is currently filming "Freedom House", which is also an Aoqi project. Since the platform has invited her, it would be difficult for her to refuse unless she has a real reason not to go.
This means that Ling Sui works without a break for the entire month.
She gets up at six o'clock every morning and does morning exercises if she has time. If her schedule is full that day and she is in a hurry to get ready, she will work first and complete the day's fitness quota after finishing filming in the evening.
As for what time to go to bed...it depends on the progress of the crew that day.
Anyway, they were shooting a sitcom in the studio, and the indoor lighting would not change for 24 hours. Since the director hadn't called time to call it a day, everyone had to stay up late.
"Freedom House" was filmed at a crazy pace in November. In December, the director and producer found that the shooting progress was slightly faster than originally planned, and they were relieved.
It's okay to be faster, but if you can't catch up, you're doomed. If the show misses the schedule agreed with the platform due to post-production or review issues, it will be questionable when the show will be aired.
Although the progress is not behind schedule, the producers have no intention of giving the leading actors a few more days off. Everyone’s schedule still has scenes to film almost every day, but the content on the notice has become less. When shooting certain important scenes, the director can also add a few more lines and pay more attention to details.
——The director’s request for improvement is a good thing for Ling Suisui, because she knows that the higher the quality of the series, the greater the probability that her hard work will be rewarded;
But for other actors, although they understand this truth, their own abilities cannot keep up, and filming every day is a painful torture.
During the break in filming, Song Lingshan couldn't help but come to Ling Suisui to complain.
She complained a lot, such as the lines were too long, the script had to be changed a lot, the sitcom had too many long shots and was difficult to act, and she was almost getting depressed while acting in a comedy... She complained a lot and felt much better after she finished.
Although Song Lingshan has a good relationship with other actors, she only dares to tell Ling Sui about these private complaints, because her character is guaranteed and she is the most tight-lipped. Who wouldn't want to be friends with her?
Ling Suisui listened to her quietly before pouring her a cup of herbal tea.
"It's okay, you have to think positively. You met a demanding director in your first film. If you shoot other films in the future, won't the big devil slaughter the village of novices?"
Song Lingshan smiled bitterly. That was an effect that could only be achieved by meeting the director's requirements. Currently... she was scolded by the director every day.
She changed the subject to something lighter: "How was your experience at Scream Night? Was it fun?"
Ling Suisui answered truthfully: "I only had a little presence when taking photos on the red carpet, but it was actually meaningless in the backstage. I sat on the side of the stage, a little far from the main table, and no one looked at me."
Mainly because there wasn't anyone she was familiar with at this year's Scream Night.
If Ji Zhaoying were here, she would follow her around and eat melons, which might be fun.
"Were you on the hot search list?" Song Lingshan tried to recall. "I saw it on the hot search list. You were wearing that... that pink satin dress that day. It was really beautiful."
Ling Suisui nodded. She was wearing Prada's autumn and winter ready-to-wear on the red carpet that day and Fendi in the backstage.
In Tong Xiaoman's words, the significance of her participating in Scream Night is to wear this dress and walk the red carpet, showing her positive influence to the brand and gaining opportunities for subsequent cooperation.
Otherwise, is it for the pork-sharing awards given out by Aoqi Video?
By the way, Ling Sui received the "Newcomer Actor of the Year" award, and Xi Yu was on the same stage with her.
Ling Suisui doesn't care, but Xi Yu and her agent must be very upset.
——They just wanted to tie her up with Ling Suisui in terms of acting skills, but they didn't expect that not only did they fail to tie her up, but it also proved that in the minds of the industry, Xi Yu, who has works starring as the female lead, and Ling Suisui, who has no actual achievements as a female lead, are of the same level.
This alone was enough to make Xi Yu mocked by his opponents. It was a concrete example of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice.
Song Lingshan asked: "There is only an award ceremony in the backstage, no other activities?"
Ling Suisui thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there were some singing and dancing performances."
"By the way, Chen Lin seemed to have sung a song as well. But he went up there with a lot of other people, and I couldn't recognize which line was his voice."
Speaking of Chen Lin, Song Lingshan's thoughts drifted back to the crew.
She whispered, "The director scolded me too harshly. Fortunately, we have Chen Lin in our group, otherwise I would have collapsed."
Ling Suisui: ...
She understood that what Song Lingshan meant was that Chen Lin was scolded the most by the director and attracted most of the criticism.
"To be honest, he's making rapid progress."
Ling Suisui objectively commented: "When we first started filming, he obviously couldn't keep up with the scenes that Bian Yuanzhou and I were doing. We had to hold back in front of him. Now the situation has improved a lot."
She paused and said, "Han Cheng and Zhu Yue have been doing well recently. You should pay more attention to them."
Song Lingshan suddenly felt a sense of crisis. In her mind, the acting skills of the six leading actors in the "Freedom House" crew could be roughly divided into three tiers.
At the top are Ling Suisui and Bian Yuanzhou (in order of ranking), in the middle are herself, Zhu Yue, and Han Cheng (in no order of ranking), and at the bottom is Chen Lin.
As an actress, she certainly wouldn't want her co-stars to perform badly, but if everyone performed better than her, her position in the crew and her reputation after the show would be too embarrassing.
Song Lingshan, who was originally lying on the sofa, sat up straight in an instant, feeling that she should not waste time here.
She also needs to compete and learn from Ling Suisui. She cannot be outdone by other actors!
Looking at her leaving back, Ling Suisui nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, this trick is effective. She will say the same thing to Zhu Yue and Han Cheng later, and then change to a more motivating set of words when she gets to Chen Lin.
"Freedom House" is an ensemble drama. How could it be possible with just her efforts alone? Of course, we need to find ways to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and get everyone involved.
She really put in a lot of effort and gave so much for this drama.
**
Ling Sui had no days off throughout the entire December because she had already booked a vacation for January next year.
She had already attended classes for half a semester, and she also submitted assignments while filming on the crew, so the teachers did not deduct too many points from her. However, for the sake of her overall course grade, she would definitely have to go back to take the final exam and complete the final performance.
Therefore, Ling Suisui Studio could only reject the fans’ plan to support his birthday.
Not to mention that the crew couldn't arrange it, even Ling Suisui herself couldn't guarantee 100% that she could spare the time to meet her fans, so why bother letting them come here?
Ling Suisui didn't take his birthday too seriously. It was just an ordinary day where he still had to work hard on the set.
She got up on time, did morning exercises on time, and put on makeup on time. After pushing open the door of the lounge, she suddenly heard a few "bang bang bang" sounds.
...Okay, it's the familiar ribbon gun again.
She walked into the lounge, hugged and thanked the five leading actors one by one, and listened to them wishing her a happy birthday.
Bian Yuanzhou was the last in line, and when it was his turn, he looked a little uncomfortable.
"Are you not feeling well?" Ling Sui asked him.
Ever since Bian Yuanzhou's favorability towards her rose to 70, Ling Sui no longer felt awkward when meeting and talking with him.
After all, they have been colleagues who have been seeing each other every day for more than a month. Even if it's just a small friendship, they should have developed some friendship.
Bian Yuanzhou: "...No, I'm fine."
Zhu Yue whispered to her, "Didn't you read today's notice? He's feeling uncomfortable because he has to film a kissing scene with you."
ah? Ling Sui was stunned. This shouldn't happen.
How long has Bian Yuanzhou debuted? Why is he still shy about kissing scenes?
No, wait...
She went over Bian Yuanzhou's information in her mind. He made his debut in a comedy variety show, and has been on variety shows and performing sketches since then. The film and television works he participated in were all comedies. It seemed that he had never filmed a kissing scene.
Thinking of this, Ling Suisui became a little worried. Can Bian Yuanzhou do it?
Oh, now I remember, in the script, she kissed him when she was drunk, and she took the initiative, so there's no problem with that.
