Chapter 406
This Minghui really wants to improve
"Three Generations" was filmed in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas, which are common filming locations for modern dramas.
After Ling Sui joined the crew, he mainly filmed in Shanghai and Suzhou, which is neither close nor far from Hengdian. If anyone wants to visit the set, they can drive there in a few hours.
Some people came in person, while others visited remotely, treating the entire crew to milk tea and snacks.
These are all good intentions of friends in the circle. In addition, long dramas are rare these days. "Three Generations" is the only S+ project that has started filming in the second half of the year so far. It is no exaggeration to say that it is "the hope of the whole village." But friends visited the set and invited her to dinner so many times that Ling Suisui had no choice but to decline.
If we don't control it, the crew won't be able to shoot the film. Receiving colleagues every day will tire the main creators to death.
Ling Suisui’s role in this work is not only the leading actor but also the producer.
The "supervisor" here overlaps with the work scope of producer, coordinator and others. Ling Suisui also has to take care of some specific affairs of the crew.
She knew that "Three Generations" was being filmed and edited at the same time, and the post-production tasks were very intense. The drama is expected to be completed in November and will be aired in June next year. The Fruit Channel has already included it in its satellite broadcast schedule.
Although the editing of urban dramas does not take that long, to be on the safe side, the production team still hopes to leave more time for the review process to prevent any problems from arising and to provide opportunities for error-tolerant modifications so as not to directly disrupt the plan.
S+ projects are very rare these days. Once they are filmed, they will basically not be delayed. There will never be the situation in previous years where big dramas grab the schedule. After all, there are not so many big productions now.
All the actors who participated in the filming and have some reputation in the circle and will appear on the official announcement list have been warned by their agency and are under strict supervision. They are absolutely not allowed to cause any negative news that will affect the crew.
Once the reputation of a leading actor is exposed, it will not only affect the actor's own future, but other artists in the company will also be implicated. Who’s to blame for the fact that it’s a cold winter for the film and television industry right now, and the risk aversion of platforms and producers has increased again?
If something happens to one person, the whole company suffers. In the past, when the market was booming, there were many artists whose reputations were ruined, and those in the same industry who knew the situation would cover for each other. Now that the market is in a downturn, everyone knows to keep themselves clean and keep a close eye on their competitors, and the environment in the domestic entertainment industry has become clear.
It seems that no matter the strict regulations above or the fans' earnest expectations, it is not as effective as tangible benefits in making celebrities learn to be cautious in their words and deeds and exercise self-discipline.
From this perspective, the cold winter of the film and television industry is actually a good thing. It turns out that domestic entertainment has its own hell joke.
After a few days on the set, Ling Suisui finally matched the faces and names of most of the main actors, as well as the roles they played in the drama.
"Three Generations" has a luxurious cast. Some of the actors are not well-known on the Internet, but if you open the encyclopedia, you will find that they have a long award-winning resume and have participated in many representative works.
Since the project was officially planned, there has been no shortage of fans of the actors licking their cakes in the square for three generations. At that time, someone from the entertainment team said that everyone should save some energy.
From Inspur to Ru Meng Ling and then to Three Generations, isn’t it enough for everyone to see the fact that Ling Sui doesn’t like to use traffic? She is the only one who carries the work. If you don't have the ability, you should not join in the fun, as it will be embarrassing.
Regardless of whether the poster was sincere or not, the post was quickly labeled as "an attempt by rivals to dissuade fans from posting with bad intentions." Fans who are ready to lick the cake will still do so anyway. What if? Didn’t Jing Xinyi earn over a billion in box office revenue for a movie?
Ling Sui really wanted to complain at that time. It’s fine if fans think so, but if there are really artists who think so, then their acting careers are basically over... The market is so cold that the fan circle’s voice can’t even leverage the playback volume, and it will only become more and more difficult for traffic stars to survive.
The entertainment group's prediction was basically correct, and "Three Generations" did not choose any traffic.
However, the crew chose an amateur who had just signed a contract and was promoted by a big company. He played the role of a male college student who pursued Qin Wenjing.
Ling Suisui has seen his information. His name is Minghui. It is estimated that this is the stage name he changed after entering the circle.
He was chosen not because of his acting skills, the casting director felt that he just barely met the passing line and was barely above the category of useless people; but Minghui had a huge advantage, he was good-looking.
The last actor who Ling Sui believed could become famous just by relying on his looks was Li Mingxu. He indeed served as a male star in the entertainment industry for several years. As for the second one, it was Minghui.
He is handsome, 1.80 meters tall and has a good figure. He was actually a sports student before entering the circle. He is only one year younger than the character, so he is really suitable for the role in every aspect.
So, even though his acting skills weren't that great, the casting director still chose him after comprehensive consideration. The role of the male leader does not require any acting skills, and the lower-tier market will definitely rely heavily on his looks.
Ling Suisui had no objection to this decision, but when she saw Minghui's name and thought of Li Mingxu, she couldn't help but smile.
Minghui, Mingxu...same characters, similar meanings. What is Minghui's agency planning? It’s really hard to guess.
In the entertainment industry, male stars in their thirties are not considered old, but how can they be compared to young men in their twenties who look younger and more energetic?
Ling Sui's 60-year-old assistant also flirts with her in private. The best time for male stars is before the age of 30. After this age, they are not beautiful enough to be a vase. They should make way for newcomers.
In the first few days, Ling Suisui and Minghui had no scenes together, but she could see him every day.
When there was no notice, Minghui brought a folding chair with him. Either get close to the director or find a position to observe closely. Actors are surrounded by many people when filming, so having one more person like him won't make much of a difference.
His explanation to the crew was that he particularly wanted to learn from the senior teachers. Because he was the newcomer with the least acting experience in the crew, even Feng Li could be considered his "predecessor". When he saw Feng Li, he would bow and call her Teacher Feng in a serious manner.
Because of this, Feng Li likes him particularly. In the entire crew, the actors Feng Li is closest to are Ling Suisui and Tang Bing. Minghui is the third one. The actors of the same age who act with her every day are far behind her.
Ling Suisui knew that these calls of "Teacher Feng" made Feng Li feel happy. Everyone treated her like a child. It was the first time she heard an actor call her teacher!
You know, Feng Li is not a shy or embarrassed person. If someone calls her like that, she really dares to respond. Not only did she guide Minghui in acting on the set, she also named Minghui her eldest disciple and asked him to serve her tea.
If his agent hadn't stopped him, Minghui would have knelt down and kowtowed to her as his apprentice.
"He is very smart and very eager to improve himself." This is Zhang Wen's evaluation of Minghui. "He knows that coming directly to you may have the opposite effect, so he takes Feng Li's roundabout route."
These days, when Ling Suisui was having dinner with Feng Li, she mentioned Minghui a lot.
Ling Suisui held his chin in his hand: "They may not come here for me. Don't make me sound like Tang Monk meat. It makes me look so narcissistic."
Zhang Wen shrugged: "His eyes are almost glued to you. Isn't this directed at you? And haven't you noticed that as long as there is a behind-the-scenes camera during the break in filming, he will always be there."
"Although he won't take the initiative to walk to the center of the screen, he always gets stuck in the corners. His company, which had a little bit of traffic last year, laid the line in advance in this way, and hyped up the real-life CP after the show started."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, if he wants to hype it up, let him do it. There is no shortage of CPs in the circle, and it won’t be easy for him to hype it up. He thought that other sons-in-law would just watch him steal the popularity.
She only cared about one question: "Is he really learning acting from Feng Li, or is he just playing with her and delaying Feng Li's homework time?"
"Your focus is really... I heard from Feng Li's agent that he is indeed learning. He even wrote his own reflections and gave them to Feng Li for correction."
That's fine, Ling Suisui nodded.
She was reading a script in the RV when someone suddenly knocked on the door. The assistant went over to check on the situation and came back with a bag of fruit.
The assistant said that this was the most delicious one Minghui chose after trying several varieties of crisp persimmons. Because I accidentally bought too much, I gave some to Ling Sui to try, and by the way, thanked Teacher Ling for taking care of him during this period.
"He's quite sensible." The assistant sighed, "When he heard that Sister Sui was busy, he had no intention of coming in. He just handed the crisp persimmon to me and left."
"Accidentally?" Zhang Wen raised an eyebrow. "How could you be careless? You don't even know how to make up a decent lie."
Ling Suisui turned the page of the script: "Some people tell lies to conceal the truth, and he just lied to let me know that he was lying."
Zhang Wen thought about it for a while and finally understood.
She also wanted to eat some crisp persimmons, so she cut two. Ling Suisui originally only wanted to try one piece, but after finishing it, he ate another piece.
"He has a good selection of products." Ling Suisui praised casually, "Ask him for a link."
Wow, it actually suits her taste.
Zhang Wen and her assistant looked at each other, and they always felt that a review blogger named Chen had met an opponent on this track.
"Three Generations" was very popular during its filming, and the name "Ming Hui" went from being a pure amateur when it was first officially announced to a hot star that the entertainment team loved to stir-fry.
Many people have found out that Minghui's private clothing style is very similar to Xu Shiling's. Even the angles of his selfies and the content of his short video platforms are suspected of imitation and plagiarism.
What’s even more eye-catching is that someone also found out Minghui’s secondary account.
This small account doesn’t contain any explosive entertainment industry secrets, nor does it reveal Minghui’s dark history during his amateur days. It’s just a check-in blog.
Looking back, the content updated every day in the small account was "Did you see Ling Suisui today? No", followed by the data record of the nth day of checking in. Until recently, to be precise, after Ling Suisui joined the group, its updated content became Mengnan Diary.
Minghui was quite cautious when writing his diary. He neither mentioned the drama nor Ling Sui's name, and he didn't even dare to use common abbreviations. He only referred to her as "goddess". The few photos he occasionally posted also looked like they were taken from a proxy photo or a fan's perspective.
He also posted his own handwritten letters on the trumpet. The letter paper was very beautiful and the handwriting was very smooth. After reviewing it, netizens thought that although his writing was average, he had no typos and used all the terms correctly, which was worthy of praise.
This was how the entertainment group evaluated him, but after the incident spread to other places, especially the short video platform, his handwritten letters became click literature, with the comment section filled with his brilliant quotes. Many people said they were so moved that they literally cried while reading them.
Ling Suisui who saw the trending search: …
It’s amazing. Minghui really wants to improve himself.
