Chapter 103
It's still best to make a free guest appearance.
October.
The crew of "Freedom House" had already started filming for a month. Ling Sui went to the producer to ask for leave, saying that she had an event the day after tomorrow night.
The producer said it was okay. Compared to the situation during the filming of the first season, the main actors who have already built up a tacit understanding have had much fewer NGs, and the actual filming schedule of the crew is faster than planned.
Moreover, Ling Sui asked for leave to attend the Golden Eagle Awards, so she must be allowed to attend this kind of event.
The producer congratulated Ling Suisui: "Congratulations, you have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress again. Try to win an award this time as well."
His blessing is sincere. The more famous the leading actor is, the easier it is to attract audiences.
Ling Sui thanked him, but she didn't have high expectations in her heart.
The role she was nominated for at the Golden Eagle Awards was Qin Xian, rather than Zhang Zihan, whose acting skills were more highly praised by the public. Looking at the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actress... it is obvious that she will be a runner-up at the Golden Eagle Awards this year.
However, as long as it is a mainstream award in the industry, nomination is still recognition. There are many popular stars who have acted in so many dramas but have not even been nominated.
Ling Suisui gladly accepted the invitation, and Prada also prepared two out-of-season ready-to-wear pieces for her to wear on the red carpet and in the background.
After agreeing on a time with the producer, she returned to the lead actor's lounge.
Compared to the first season where everything was a bit shabby and everyone tried to save money, the shooting site of the second season was obviously much more luxurious. Even the juice in their lounge was changed from mixed with powder packets to freshly squeezed.
Bian Yuanzhou opened a bag of potato chips - this is the new flavor endorsed by Ling Suisui, and it is also an advertising placement for this season's program.
She doesn't have any short-term relationships, almost all of them are long-term relationships that are more than half a year. She is currently filming an urban drama, and brands are very willing to continue investing in her.
By the way, the milk they drank while filming was also endorsed by Ling Suisui.
"Eat less puffed food." Ling Suisui said to him, "Your face is getting rounder now."
Bian Yuanzhou was so frightened that he immediately picked up the mirror, looked at himself carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're scaring me." He complained, "How is it rounder? My face is still so handsome."
Ling Suisui: ...
She really wanted to tell the other party that when they were not filming, there was no need to tell jokes!
Ling Suisui gave him a weak kick and actually didn't hit him at all. However, Bian Yuanzhou, who was in a show-off mood, covered his leg and acted pitiful, and even cried out in pain in a particularly artificial manner.
"The show is terrible." Ling Suisui commented mercilessly, "The level of fraud needs to be improved."
She already knew the fact that Bian Yuanzhou was a dramatic actor in the first season.
However, several leading actors were still chatting in the group chat after the filming was completed. In addition, they participated in several drama promotion variety shows together. As their relationship went from familiarity to intimacy, the frequency of this guy's outbursts of acting out at will became higher and higher.
In front of others, Bian Yuanzhou would restrain himself, but when only the two of them were around, his true nature was exposed and he became lawless.
Ling Suisui didn’t understand. Did the words “like to take on acting roles” written on her head?
She picked up the script and acted with him. They had no notice in the morning, and in the afternoon they were going to film a scene where Sun Jiayi went for a blind date at a high-end restaurant, and Qian Tu sat at the next table and acted weird.
According to the plot, the boy who goes on a blind date with Sun Jiayi must be very handsome, so he can impress her who is obsessed with looks.
Although the second season had more funding, Yin Mingcheng was still stingy. He felt that the quality of ordinary actors was not high enough and it was too expensive to invite a specific star. So he asked the leading actors to introduce a handsome friend in the circle to make a cameo appearance, and it would be best if he didn't have to pay any salary.
It is not easy to find guest actors. If the filming was in Hengdian, the main actors could always find friends to help them. However, the filming location of "Freedom House" is in Shanghai, and we can't ask them to pay for their flights and hotel just for such an unpaid role, right?
Finally, Ling Suisui searched through the list and found Chen Yuening, who happened to be having a brand event in Shanghai.
Of course Chen Yuening agreed without hesitation. The drama "Freedom House" itself has good popularity and reputation, and it would be beneficial for him to play a role in it.
Not to mention... Ling Sui personally invited him, so there was no reason for him not to go.
Bian Yuanzhou flipped through the script and asked, "When will your friend come over?"
"Two o'clock, maybe. He'll be directly at the restaurant. We need to film at a time that doesn't coincide with the peak dining hours."
Booking the entire venue in one go only exists in novels about domineering bosses.
In reality, for film crews and event shoots, basically only part of the venue is reserved, while other places continue to operate as usual.
The shooting was to start in the afternoon, and what they had in their hands was a version that the screenwriter had just revised on a whim. Although the general plot remains unchanged, some adjustments have been made to the specific lines.
While Bian Yuanzhou was still reading and reciting, Ling Suisui had already achieved impromptu dialogue and was practicing everything from the content of the lines to the changes in intonation and pauses in the sentences, considering where to add a punchline.
Bian Yuanzhou: ...
He asked sincerely: "Why do you memorize your lines so fast?"
And it was so accurate - she was reciting it and he was watching it, and there was really not a single mistake in the word!
Ling Suisui pointed to his head and said, "Play less games and watch less videos. Go to bed early and get up early every day. Your brain will become more flexible and your memory will naturally improve."
Bian Yuanzhou was speechless, it was over, every move he made was in the opposite direction.
Does watching too many short videos really make your brain dumber?
He quickly shook his head and concentrated on memorizing the script in front of him.
However, Bian Yuanzhou also made up his mind to go to bed early and stop watching Douzi videos from tonight.
Otherwise, how could Ling Sui succeed? Her self-control is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.
**
Not long after the crew of "Freedom House 2" moved to the restaurant, Chen Yuening arrived.
As the inviter, Ling Suisui even came out of the RV to pick him up.
The two of them just greeted each other without saying anything like "long time no see". After all, they were too familiar with each other and had just met at school a few days ago.
Chen Yuening first congratulated Ling Suisui for receiving another nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Regardless of whether he can win an award or not, I wonder how many artists of the same period will be envious of him based on this achievement.
Fortunately, because Ling Suisui starred in two sitcoms in a row, the entertainment group and marketing accounts have become less malicious towards her.
——As long as she doesn’t try to snatch resources for idol dramas, she will not be regarded as a competitor in the team of 00 flowers.
Ling Suisui modestly said: "I was just lucky and met a good team and co-actors."
There is no need to say much about "The Name on the Golden List". "Ding Feng Bo" is also a real S+ production. Otherwise, how could she, a supporting role, be seen by the audience?
After the Qu Ziping incident, Ling Suisui has deeply realized that in order to present a good work, the entire crew needs to work together. If there is a problem in any link, it will not work.
On the way here, Chen Yuening had already memorized the script. He didn't have many lines, just a few words when introducing himself.
The lighting and set-up in the venue had been completed. Chen Yuening and Ling Suisui sat opposite each other at the same table, while Bian Yuanzhou sat quietly behind Ling Suisui. The two sat back to back with their chairs separated, and were photographed from multiple angles.
The director called out "start" and Ling Sui raised her head shyly.
In order to create a comedic effect, she made this action very deliberate, and the effect was really good. Chen Yuening's mouth corners kept twitching, but she couldn't help laughing.
After being stopped, Chen Yuening just laughed heartily.
When he was watching "Freedom House", he wanted to laugh every minute because he was too familiar with Ling Suisui. Unexpectedly, when he watched her acting on the set, he couldn't hold it for even a second.
Ling Sui held his forehead with his hand helplessly, it was indeed easy to make people laugh when seeing acquaintances acting. It’s hard to believe in the character when you know the actor too well.
This is also the reason why many seniors say that actors should appear less on variety shows and maintain more mystery.
For this opening scene, Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening adjusted it four times before passing it.
Chen Yuening was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I've found my form, and I won't make any more mistakes next time."
No matter what Ling Suisui thought, Bian Yuanzhou felt that it was not very reliable, and the next scene would be a bit difficult.
Just now, when he was waiting for them to retake the shot, he was even bored enough to want to yawn.
It seems that not all students in the film academy are as perverted as Ling Suisui...
But this time he was wrong - Chen Yuening's subsequent performance was indeed good.
Chen Yuening: "I am about 1.8 meters tall."
Bian Yuanzhou: "That means he is not even 1.80 meters tall. He may only be 1.75 meters tall without shoes."
Chen Yuening: "I am a very motivated person."
Bian Yuanzhou: "It means no house, no car, no savings, and often have to work overtime."
Chen Yuening: "I want to find a sensible and virtuous girl."
Bian Yuanzhou: "That's it, I just want to find a free babysitter."
Chen Yuening was talking over there, and Bian Yuanzhou was giving an in-depth interpretation from behind. Every time they talk to each other in the air, Ling Suisui has to change his expression twice.
Later, Chen Yuening was so embarrassed that he could not continue speaking. Ling Suisui finally turned around and met his eyes, unable to bear it any longer.
"What are you doing here?" Her tone was filled with anger. "If you don't make trouble for me for a day, you won't feel good, right?"
According to the plot setting, Qian Tu will not easily admit his feelings for Sun Jiayi. He will only stubbornly say that they didn't buy the restaurant, so is it not okay for him to come and eat?
Sun Jiayi, played by Ling Suisui, was very angry, but Chen Yuening gently comforted her, saying that it was okay and that she should not let him affect the relationship between her and her friend.
After Chen Yuening finished speaking, Bian Yuanzhou should have taken over the line, but when he heard what the other party said and saw the eye contact between Ling Suisui and him, he inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
Wait, is this in the script?
Oh, this was just their free performance, and the director didn't call for stop, which means he was very satisfied with the chemistry between them.
...Bian Yuanzhou was quite embarrassed. He had thought that the other party would get stuck, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who failed.
He adjusted his state and continued, but his eyes would always involuntarily glance at Chen Yuening.
During a break in filming, he said, "You two have a good chemistry."
"Of course." Chen Yuening replied without hesitation, "We have been working together since our freshman year. This is our fourth year now. We can't even count the number of times we have acted together."
"It was just that I wasn't used to comedy at the beginning, so I got stuck a few times. We usually rehearse in one take."
Bian Yuanzhou: ...
This is showing off, this is definitely showing off!
On the set of "Freedom House 2", the guest star said that he was more familiar with the leading actor...
Well, this wasn’t a big deal, but Bian Yuanzhou just felt unhappy.
Chen Yuening only shot for an entire afternoon. When Ling Suisui asked him when he would return to the capital, Chen Yuening replied:
"There's no rush. I'll play in the Magic City for the next two days, and fly directly to Star City the day after tomorrow. This will save me from having to fly back to the Imperial City. That would be too much trouble. Anyway, I don't have to go to class."
"If Freedom House still needs me, I'll be free tomorrow."
"That's not necessary. Your character cannot appear repeatedly."
Ling Suisui thought for a moment and asked, "Are you attending the event with the Jinbang crew?"
"That's right. Jin Bang Ti Ming was nominated for the Outstanding TV Drama. Several seniors are busy, and the Best Supporting Actress award you were nominated for is bound to cause a stir, so let me join in the fun and walk the red carpet."
"Don't say that." Ling Suisui said with a smile, "Your performance in this drama is also very outstanding, how can you call it freeloading?"
The two of them praised each other, and it was another wave of business promotion.
The atmosphere of their conversation was really good, so good that people around them couldn't interrupt at all. Bian Yuanzhou tried to join in several times, but couldn't find a way in, so he could only stand by and watch.
Damn, it’s great that we met early.
Bian Yuanzhou thought that after finishing the filming of "Freedom House 2", the tacit understanding between him and Ling Suisui would surely reach the point where they would chat without caring about other people.
...I think it should be possible, right?
