Chapter 370
It's not like the average age of Ling Sui in the domestic entertainment industry is
Inside the hotel, Ling Suisui searched for relevant news and turned off the screen of his mobile phone.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the busy night scene with a thoughtful expression.
According to what she had just found out, Yu Jiaxing had attempted suicide once.
He took sleeping pills at home, and his agent couldn't get through to him on the phone, so he went to his house to get him to attend an event. After discovering what happened, he rushed him to the hospital.
This piece of news is very difficult to find because he had very few fans at the time, and the company he signed with was very afraid that the matter would become a big deal, so they kept it under wraps. It didn't even become a hot topic, and there were few marketing accounts with high traffic that carried it.
I couldn't find it before Ling Sui's death. I had to be very patient and read it slowly to find some traces left.
The result of piecing together information from multiple sources is that Yu Jiaxing has been unable to get a suitable role, and his agency has lost patience with him. They want to hype him up before he is forgotten by the entire Internet, even if it means taking the black-and-red route.
Yu Jiaxing, who thought he had the script of "the protagonist of a counterattack and slapping person in the face", certainly disagreed. He could not accept such a psychological gap, but was powerless to change the status quo. If the system does not provide him with the golden finger for acting, he will not be able to crush his peers. If he cannot crush others, he will not be able to complete the task and will not be able to renew the golden finger.
This vicious cycle eventually made him despair, because he had set such high standards for himself before, and he didn't even have the chance to start over. So he made the choice to take sleeping pills.
Everyone who knew about this thought that Yu Jiaxing was lucky and was rescued by the hospital. The agency quickly terminated the contract with him and didn't even dare to ask him for liquidated damages, for fear that he would be too reckless. What if he went to the rooftop of their company building and jumped off?
However, Ling Suisui felt that they were worrying too much.
The current Yu Jiaxing is probably no longer the same Yu Jiaxing as before. There was also a hospital worker who said on his social media account that he had brain damage and memory loss. That could be another time traveler who came into this world but was not bound to the system.
Ling Suisui pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked the system: [If the task cannot be completed, will you take the host to another world to continue the mission? 】
System: [No, the host will experience normal birth, aging, illness and death in this world. 】
Ling Suisui understood. So the possibility of fake death was ruled out. Yu Jiaxing really committed suicide.
The host bound by the system cannot return to the original world. Ling Sui had verified this point repeatedly when he first came here.
Ling Suisui asked again: [If the host is unable to continue the mission due to death, will the system be punished by the Time Management Bureau? 】
The system did not respond, but its silence itself was an answer.
The answer is definitely no, the host's behavior does not have such a big impact on the system. She still has no intention of becoming the sister-in-law of any fan, and the system is still running as usual, with no intention of forcing her to change hosts or run away.
Ling Suisui feels that the system is highly intelligent.
She felt that these systems always wanted to guide the host to do certain things, but in fact they did not pay much attention to the host's task situation. Otherwise, when Yu Jiaxing really wanted to commit suicide, his system would definitely find ways to stop him, and maybe even give him some points to keep him alive.
Her system knew how to secretly swallow her points, but Yu Jiaxing’s system didn’t even have this little permission?
Ling Suisui suspected that the system wanted to cultivate the host's dependence, and then cut off the supply when the host became more and more dependent on the system. This huge psychological gap and mental pressure pushes the host to a dead end.
What can it gain, the life or soul of the host?
But considering her situation... Ling Sui frowned.
In any case, her system didn't seem to want to kill her. Her work and rest schedule is very regular, except for the occasional time difference where her day and night are reversed. The system will proactively remind her to get enough rest and take great care of her.
Of course, the system may just want to please her. After all, she still has evidence of its many "violations of discipline" in her hands, and it seems really afraid of being complained about.
Ling Suisui looked at the scenery in the distance and had already made up his mind.
**
Casting for the film was not an easy task, and Fuji Masanori was struggling with it until December.
Just as Ling Suisui expected, he talked to the actresses about his understanding of Zhaoming, and the more he talked, the happier and more satisfied he became. But when he talked to the actors...
It's not to the point where the more we talk, the more disappointed we become. It's also impossible that the male actors haven't done any homework at all. But with such excellent examples before them, they seem mediocre.
Teng Zhengde came to his senses later and asked Ling Suisui why she had known this would happen.
Ling Suisui replied: "You know the answer. Because your opinion also represents the opinions of many people in the industry. You think that male actors have a natural advantage in being the leading role, and they subconsciously think so too."
For the same test paper, a female actor must score higher than a male actor to have the same opportunity. In many cases, they are not even qualified to sit at the table to take the exam.
It would be fine if they were all mediocre, but you have to select the best from the best, and even if you choose the top few, the actresses who stand out in a more competitive field will have a higher absolute level.
Fuji Masanori was speechless, because this was his first time experiencing this kind of casting method that did not limit men and women. After controlling most variables, some things really cannot be compared...
He could only admit with emotion: "No wonder everyone says you have excellent taste and are so sharp in selecting actors."
Ling Suisui said a few humble words and then asked him who he really leaned towards.
This put Fuji Masanori in a difficult position. To be honest, he was satisfied with all three actresses, but he was not particularly satisfied with any of them and felt that she was the only one he could have.
He sighed: "If the advantages of these three people can be combined, it will be perfect!"
Want a polygonal warrior? Director Fuji’s idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. There are not so many perfect actors, and not everyone in the domestic entertainment industry is over 100 years old.
He used this sentence to praise Ling Sui, who smiled politely, remained unmoved, and even tactfully urged him to make a decision as soon as possible.
He has hesitated long enough, and the schedules of these actors are not easy to negotiate. Now is the stage where both parties are selecting each other and even the letter of intent has not been signed. If the other party comes across a better option, they can say goodbye to us at any time.
Even though Lin Yahan and Zhao Xianning were artists of her company, Ling Suisui had no intention of making them wait for the crew. Don’t they want to develop themselves?
Teng Zhengde hesitated for a long time and finally chose Jing Xinyi.
Because two people from Harvest Media were excluded from the three-choice selection, Fuji Masanori went to her to explain.
"The actors can continue to practice the action scenes, and the drama scenes can be taught on the spot. The gap between them is not that big, and they can be made up by improvisation. But temperament is something that cannot be cultivated in a short time."
Moreover, during the conversation, Director Teng and Jing Xinyi had the most enjoyable chat.
Actors who can get along well with the director must be given priority.
Ling Suisui nodded, indicating that he respected his choice.
In fact, she was not surprised that Director Teng could get along well with Jing Xinyi. That was Jing Xinyi, one of the most emotionally sensitive and observant actors she had ever seen.
When dealing with this kind of old...old generation artist, even if Jing Xinyi curses him in her heart, she can still praise him to the highest heaven and earth on the surface. No one understands what they want to hear the most better than her.
The director made the decision and notified the agents of the three actors.
Ling Sui had no idea about Jing Xinyi's reaction. Although Lin Yahan felt regretful, she accepted the result after communicating with the director again.
Zhao Xianning's reaction was a little subtle. She knew that the producer was Ling Suisui, and she also knew that she participated in the casting, so she specifically asked her:
"Although Lin Yahan and I both failed the audition, who of us has a higher priority in the director's mind?"
Ling Suisui: "...Director Fuji chose directly, not by elimination."
Questions like who comes second and who comes third are not even within Fuji Masanori's consideration.
Zhao Xianning heard her tone was relatively relaxed, and asked carefully: "What about your heart, Senior Sister? If you were the director..."
"Then I will hang up on you immediately." Ling Suisui replied, "I have never seen a good actor who values his peers more than his career. In fact, you are a die-hard fan of Lin Yahan, but you are embarrassed to say it, right?"
Zhao Xianning felt like she was stabbed in the chest. Is there anything more painful than having your head pressed down by a rival fan? there is none left!
This sentence was so heartbreaking. The way Zhao Xianning hurriedly hung up the phone looked like she was running away.
Ling Suisui didn't care about her and just asked his agent to pay more attention to her.
She felt that since she had been reminded to this extent, it would be enough to take drastic measures. If she refused to change her mind, no matter how much others said, it would be useless.
Once the main character is decided, the other main and supporting characters can also be decided. Before the first role was decided, it was not so easy to negotiate with the actors for the second, third and fourth roles. Some actors even expected to play supporting roles for Ling Suisui, but when they heard that the leading role was Jing Xinyi, they slipped away very quickly.
Alas... Although Director Fuji grumbled a few words, he actually understood others. This is the norm in the circle. The reason why it is difficult for young actors to succeed is also due to this obstacle.
——Even if the crew dares to use newcomers and take risks, other actors in the same group may not be willing to be inferior to them.
Fortunately, this movie is also produced by Ling Suisui, which is somewhat of an eye-catching sign, making some people stay hesitantly.
As New Year’s Day approaches, Suisi gets excited when he sees the January schedule map.
After waiting for so long, Ling Sui finally attends a public event! Starlight Awards, you are so honored.
